Distribution of dry matter and Zn, Fe, P and S in grains of rice genotype A, B and C. Rice grain was separated into an outer layer of aleurone (incl. testa), the endosperm and the embryo. The three fractions were weighed, micro-scale digested and analysed by ICP-MS to obtain tissue elemental concentrations. Elemental recoveries represent the summed up quantity in the three grain fractions relative to the total grain content derived from analysis of a large batch of pulverized grain material. Values are means + SE (n = 4).
