Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Chlorophyll content of the third leaf decreased faster under low humidity than under high humidity.
- Intervention effect Rice plants grown under low humidity had lower water content than those under high humidity.
- Association Decrease of water content in rice leaves was followed by decrease of chlorophyll content.
- Intervention effect High humidity increased the leaf area of rice plants.
- Intervention effect High humidity accelerated leaf emergence in rice plants.
- Mechanism Products of photosynthesis in the third leaf were necessary for young leaf emergence.
- Association More materials translocated from the third leaf were associated with faster senescence of that leaf.
- Intervention effect High humidity delayed third-leaf senescence in rice, which the authors link to promoted growth.
