Dynamics of Abscisic Acid Levels during Grain-Filling in Rice : Comparisons between Superior and Inferior Spikelets

In a rice panicle, the superior spikelets display higher growth rates than the inferior spikelets during the initial phase of grain-filling. To better understand the regulatory mechanism of this phenomenon, we examined the dynamics of endogenous abscisic-acid (ABA) levels and the effects of shading...
