Through comparing the difference of dry nursery seedlings and wet nursery seedlings, we found a close relationship between soil moisture content and seedling growth. The seedling emergence of dry nursery seedling was more even, tidy and faster, and the survival rate was higher than that of wet nursery seedling. Dry nursery seedlings had small plant stature, slow leaf stretching speed and low individual seedling dry weight, but had high dry/fresh weight ratio. This was abeneficial factor for seedlings to recover from transplanting shock more quickly. As com-pared with the wet nursery seedlings, dry nursery seedlings had poor rooting ability,but had more vigorous white roots and fewer rust roots. It was the possibly important reasonfor dry nursery seedlings to form strong“explosive force”.展开更多

High pro-tein content has been examined in upland rice roots,but isozyme bands in lowland rice roots aremore than that in upland rice roots.Total area of POD isozyme bands at seedling and tilleringstages of upland rice is larger than that of lowland rice.The POD isozymes zymogram in the rootof upland rice is more stable compared with that of lowland rice.More COD isozyme numbershave been showed in roots of upland rice,but the relative activity of COD isozyme in roots of up-land rice at the seedling and tillering stages is lower than that of lowland rice.COD<sub>7</sub> band can beshown in upland rice root at flowering stage,but it is absent in lowland rice.Therefore,COD<sub>7</sub>,band can be taken as an index for resistance of the upland rice to drought environment.展开更多
