Effect of high temperature pre-treatment on elongation of the mesocotyl of rice seedlings I. Cell multiplication in the mesocotyl
Laboratory of Crop Science, Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu University Fukuoka, Japan
Mesocotyl elongation in paddy rice seedlings of the japonica type was markedly stimulated by high temperature pre-treatment of seeds. Examination of the number of parenchyma cells per one cell layer in longitudinal sections of mesocotyl revealed that stimulation may be mainly caused by cell multiplication.
