8 FUNDAMENTALS OF RICE CROP SCIENCE
1.5. The pattern of water absorption during the germination of
rice seed (variety: Ou-no 200) at 20°C on filter paper (Takahashi,
N. 1961).
1.6. The water absorption of rice seed (variety: Ou-no 200) at
different temperatures on filter paper (Takahashi, N. 1961).
In Figure 1.7, 90–97% germination was attained in 2 days’ incubation at 27°–
37°C. The germination percentage dropped sharply below or above this range.
When the incubation time was extended to 6 days, germination was 90% or higher
at temperatures between 15° and 37°C. At 8° and 45°C, no germination occurred.
