Since the Monocots II meeting in 1998, significant new data have been published that enhance our systematic knowledge of Cyperaceae. Phylogenetic studies family also progressed steadily. For this study, a parsimony analysis was carried out using all rbcL sequences currently available for Cyperaceae, including two genera. One four subfamilies (Caricoideae) and seven 14 tribes (Bisboeckelereae, Cariceae, Cryptangieae, Dulichieae, Eleocharideae, Sclerieae, Trilepideae) are monophyletic....

In general, the fertility and kernel weight of inferior spikelets rice (Oryza Sativa L.) are obviously lower than those superior spikelets, especially under abiotic stress. However, heat stress at anthesis seems to cause more damage spikelets. When plants were subjected 40℃ anthesis, a greater decrease in was observed compared This decrese has primarily been described their different organ temperatures, which temperature significantly higher that We inferred differences canopy temperature,...

New indica and japonica hybrid rice cultivars, such as the Yongyou series, provide farmers with very high yield potential. However, information on their canopy light capture solar radiation use efficiency in late season is limited. Field experiments were performed to compare radiation-use parameters of four types: (IR), inbred (IJR), (HJR), indica/japonica (HIJR), from 2016 2018 during Hangzhou, China. The grain yield, aboveground biomass, intercepted (SI), (RUE) HIJR average respectively...

N fertilizer is usually supplied via multiple applications in rice production China. Due to the high N-recovery efficiency (NRE) of panicle fertilizer, applying large amounts at booting stage considered be an effective measure increasing yields, although it has adverse effects on eating quality. In this study, using six inbred and four hybrid japonica varieties, we postponed topdressing-N increase ratio from 20% 40% by correspondingly reducing amount applied only tillering stage. We also...

Medium‐ or late‐maturing varieties of rice ( Oryza sativa L.) that are planted in agroecosystems the middle and lower reaches Yangtze Valley China always encounter cold stress during late grain‐filling stage. Generally, grain yield components adversely affected under such circumstances. To alleviate these negative effects, salicylic acid (SA; i.e., SA0 [control, 0 mg L −1 ], SA100 [100 SA200 [200 SA300 [300 SA400 [400 ]) was exogenously sprayed on plants three cultivars at full heading field...
