Fig. 3From: Development of a new heat tolerance assay system for rice spikelet sterilityEvaluation of temperature-response causing high temperature-induced spikelet sterility. The chart indicates spikelet fertility for the four rice cultivars [IR36, tolerant; Ninohikari (HNH) and Nikomaru (NKM), sensitive; Nipponbare (NPB), medium tolerance] under each treatment. The arrowhead indicates the optimal conditions to assay heat-induced spikelet sterility in this system. The data are the mean ± SE (n = 3–10)Back to article page
