e0“In Kamenoo, the typical panicle weight type, the ratio of the mesophyll surface area to the leaf area (MS/LA) and the number of protuberances developed by each mesophyll cell were decreased by application of nitrogen.”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Nitrogen application decreased mesophyll surface area relative to leaf area in Kamenoo.
- Observation The nitrogen related mesophyll structural changes were less marked in Sasanishiki than in Kamenoo.
- Intervention effect Intercellular space area in the mesophyll increased with applied nitrogen in both varieties.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen application decreased mesophyll cell number per unit leaf area.
- Intervention effect Total cell surface area was hardly reduced under nitrogen application.
- Observation Surface area of each mesophyll cell increased, more evidently in Sasanishiki than Kamenoo.
- Mechanism The authors suggest nitrogen application may favor mesophyll structure for gas diffusion.
