FIGURE 2.
Seed malformation in mature rice seeds of plants NS (28°C) and plants exposed to 39°C HS. (A) Comparison of mature rice seeds with and without husk between NS seeds (28°C) and 39°C HS seeds for 24, 48, or 72 h, imposed 24 h after fertilization. (B) Length; (C) Width; (D) Thickness; and (E) Weight. Length, width, thickness, and weight of dehulled seeds were significantly (∗p-value < 0.0001, n = 100) reduced by a different HS duration. Bar = 1 mm.
