Table 1.

Dry weights (DWs) of roots and shoots of high (IR68144) and low (IR64) Zn-density rice genotypes during supplying 68ZnSO4 for 8 d at seedling stage

Time (d) Shoot DW (g/plant)
Root DW (g/plant)
Root/shoot ratio
IR68144 IR64 IR68144 IR64 IR68144 IR64
2 1.10* 0.84 0.28 0.33* 0.25 0.39*
4 1.33* 1.14 0.29 0.34* 0.21 0.30*
6 1.62* 1.34 0.33 0.39* 0.20 0.29*
8 1.78* 1.50 0.35 0.43* 0.19 0.29*

Plants were grown in normal nutrient solution up to 30 d (seedling stage), and then transferred into nutrient solution with 1.0 µmol/L 68Zn. Data represent a mean of three plants
