Effects of Nitrogen and Shading on Root Morphologies, Nutrient Accumulation, and Photosynthetic Parameters in Different Rice Genotypes
SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 6.
MeSH headings : Genotype; Light; Nitrogen / metabolism; Oryza / genetics; Oryza / physiology; Phosphorus / metabolism; Photosynthesis; Plant Leaves / physiology; Plant Roots / physiology; Potassium / metabolism; Seeds / growth & development
