Carbon concentration of rice single stem nutrient organs at various stages. (A) leaf, (B) sheath, (C) internode. Note: T1: booting stage, T2: grain filling stage, T3: maturity; L1: flag leaf, L2: basipetal 2nd leaf, L3: basipetal 3rd leaf; Sh1: flag sheath, Sh2: basipetal 2nd l sheath, Sh3: basipetal 3rd sheath; I1: basipetal 1st internode, I2: basipetal 2nd internode, I3: basipetal 3rd internode. The flag internode was not elongated at T1, so no data were available, and the uppermost internode of this stage is I2. Booting stage samples were obtained on June 12th to June 18th, the day of the 13CO2 labeling, grain filling stage samples were obtained on June 27th, maturity stage samples were obtained on July 17th. 6 replications were measured for each treatment.
