Rice Plant Anatomy: Vegetative Phase Measurement for Rice Leaf


Read more:


Delivered on: 30 OCTOBER 2023


Rice leaves grow alternately on the stem, with one leaf per node. The last leaf wrapping the panicle is called the panicle leaf or flag leaf. The leaves are the growth engine of the plant, as they capture solar radiation and produce carbohydrates. The plant breathes and perspires through its leaves. Leaf architecture may be erect, oblique or drooping; this depends on the variety and is an important factor in the ability to capture solar radiation.


The sheath is the leaf part that wraps the leaf. At the junction point between the leaf and the collar, two elements can be found: the auricle and the ligula.


The auricle is a 2 to 5 mm appendix, crescent-shaped and covered with hair.


The ligule is a membrane whose length and shape depend on species and variety; it is rather long in O. sativa, but short and round in O. glaberrima. Rice is the only Gramineae possessing both ligule and auricle, which allows distinction from weeds at the seedling stage.


Vegetative Phase Measurement for Rice Leaf:

1. Plant Height

2. Tiller number per hill Sheath length

3. Leaf Blade length

4. Leaf Blade width

5. Leaf Blade thickness

6. Leaf Sheath

7. Leaf Color (SPAD for chlorophyll content_

8. Leaf Area

9. Large Vein Number

10. Vein density

11. Interveinal Gap distance
