Varietal Range in Transpiration Conductance of Flowering Rice Panicle and Its Impact on Panicle Temperature

Transpiration from rice (Oryza sativa L.) panicles can help lower the temperature of the panicle ( T p ), which is the susceptive organ for high temperature-induced spikelet sterility (HISS). By increasing the transpiration, the heat damage to the panicle predicted to occur due to global warming may...
