Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect High temperature induced spikelet sterility largely on the flowering day.
- Intervention effect High temperature during anthesis was the most detrimental to spikelet fertility within the flowering day.
- Intervention effect High temperature after anthesis had little influence on spikelet fertility.
- Intervention effect Exposure to high temperature one hour after anthesis left spikelet fertility normal.
- Mechanism Sterility induced by high temperature was attributed to disturbed pollen shedding and decreased pollen viability.
- Intervention effect High temperature decreased the number of germinated pollen grains on the stigma.
- Intervention effect The pistil ability to be fertilized remained unaffected by high temperature up to 41°C.
- Observation The critical temperature to induce 20% sterility was 36.5°C for heat-tolerant N22 after 8 hours a day of exposure.
- Observation The critical temperature to induce 20% sterility was 32°C for heat-susceptible BKN6624 after 8 hours a day of exposure.
- Observation The critical duration at 38°C to induce 20% sterility was 4 hours for N22.
- Observation The critical duration at 38°C to induce 20% sterility was 2 hours for BKN6624.
- Intervention effect A 2 hour treatment at 41°C induced about 90% sterility in three rice varieties.
- Mechanism Anther dehiscence and early morning anthesis are considered important characteristics for heat tolerance of rice varieties.
