Company Profile:
Pertaining to groundwater. To indicate groundwater that periodically rises to the rooting zone of cultivated plants.
Industry:Agriculture
The group of pigment molecules necessary for photochemical action.
Industry:Agriculture
The flag leaf produces the photosynthesis necessary for the rice plant and the growth of the panicles.
Industry:Agriculture
A complex process by which the energy of sunlight is absorbed and set to drive chemical reactions. In plants, the major role of photosynthesis is to reduce CO2 to the level of carbohydrate in the presence of chlorophyll and light and release oxygen as a by-product.
Industry:Agriculture
Genic male sterile plants which respond to photoperiod or duration of daylength in terms of pollen fertility and sterility behavior.
Industry:Agriculture
Cultivars that do not flower unless exposed to daylength longer or shorter than a critical period.
Industry:Agriculture
The response (e.g., flowering, germination) of organisms to the relative length of daily periods of light and darkness.
Industry:Agriculture
The degree or extent to which the rice plant responds to a short photoperiod (e.g., daylength for flowering.)
Industry:Agriculture
The duration of the light period during a given day, which fluctuates during the year and according to latitude.
Industry:Agriculture
Biological process by which proteins are 'decorated' with phosphate groups derived from ATP. The process alters the biological activity of the protein, thereby facilitating a form of physiological regulation.
