Abstract
The contribution of dry matter was significantly greater in the ears of Dima than that of Kindinga. The flag-leaf lamina, flag-leaf sheath and peduncle, lower leaves and stem of Kindinga made greater contribution of dry matter in the grain at harvest than those of Dima. On the average of the two varieties 23 per cent. of the dry matter in the grain at harvest originated from photosynthesis in the ears; 60 per cent. came from photosynthesis in the flag-leaf lamina and sheath and peduncle and 17 per cent. from parts of the shoot below the flag leaf.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
