STUDIES ON THE PHOTOPERIODIC RESPONSES OF RICE VARIETIES NATIVE TO CHINA——Ⅱ.LENGTH OF VEGETATIVE GROWTH OF RICE VARIETIES UNDER SHORT-DAY CONDITIONS AND VARIATION OF YIELD COMPONENTS UNDER DIFFERENT DAY-LENGTH
Abstract:This work was conducted in 1955-1956 at Nanking (32°03 N ),China.800 rice varietiesnative to China were collected and sowed under the day-length of 9.5,11.5,12.5,13.5,and 18hrs.and natural day-length as control.Bamboo frames with black oil-cloth were used to shutoff day-light for short-day treatments.While electric lamps were used to lengthen naturalday-length for long-day treatments.Seeds soaked with water for 36 hours and vernalized at25℃ for 12 days and then,sowed on May 20:It was demonstrated that even ...
