Description

The total 89 plant height mutant lines induced from rice cultivars Nipponbare and '9311' by ion beam implantation and γ-rays irradiation were used for analysis of the correlation between plant height and yield component. The results indicated spike length, ear grains, thousand-grain weight, stem dry weight and yield have significantly positive correlation with the plant height, while the number of productive ear has significant negative correlation with it. The correlation analysis of the plant height and yield component will help to reveal the influence of the plant height and the factors of yield component. (authors)
