Sentence examples for degree of shattering from inspiring English sources

Weedy rice differs in the degree of shattering, but all weedy rice readily shed their seeds either naturally like wild rice or at a slight touch during the harvesting of rice.

The main QTL (qSH1) that distinguishes the degree of shattering between indica and japonica varieties explains 69% of the difference in these two groups of non-shattering rice [31].

However, recent analysis of the major gene that is responsible for the difference in degree of shattering between rice and wild rice has revealed that it is the same mutation in indica and japonica rice, which is not compatible with a dual origin of domesticated rice.

Despite a fixed sh4 allele within O. sativa there is significant variation between and within subpopulations for degree of shattering.

sh4 is the key shattering gene that distinguishes cultivated from wild rice, while the qSH1 gene controls the difference in the degree of shattering between some indica and japonica varieties of rice.

In contrast, sh4 explains less than 5% percentage of these variations when compared the degree of seed shattering between rice easy-shattering landraces and some accessions of O. rufipogon (Fig. 1).

A clear association of the degree of seed shattering with the presence of a qSH1 genotype can be seen, but qSH1 alone cannot explain all the variation in the degree of seed shattering in tropical japonica.

It is believed that larger curd particles resulting from low cutting intensities coupled with faster stirring speeds resulted in a higher degree of curd shattering during stirring, which caused significant curd losses.

The degree of seed shattering has been examined among more than 100 rice landraces (Fig. 1; [16]).

Clearly, there is considerable variation in the degree of seed shattering among these landraces.

Fig. 1 Natural variation among O. rufipogon and O. sativa in the degree of seed shattering.
