LN, MN, and HN indicate low nitrogen, moderate nitrogen, heavy nitrogen, respectively; NT and HT indicate normal temperature and high temperature, respectively.

Data followed by the same small letter in the same column indicate insignificant difference (p < 0.05) between different treatments for the same rice cultivar; *, ** indicates the significance at 0.05 and 0.01 probability level, respectively.
