Morphological and Physiological Responses of Weedy Red Rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> L.) and Cultivated Rice (<i>O. sativa</i>) to N Supply
Red rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> L.), a noxious weed in rice production, competes with cultivated rice for nutrients. Accumulation of more N in red rice than in cultivated rice may be due to a mechanism different from that of cultivated rice. To test this assumption, red rice and cultivated rice were grown in nutrient solution to compare their growth and physiological responses to N supply. Experimental design was a split-plot, where main plot factor was rice type (Stf-3, ‘Wells’); split-plot factor was N treatment [T<sub>1</sub> (complete nutrient solution); T<sub>2</sub> (–NH<sub>4</sub>NO<sub>3</sub>); T<sub>3</sub> (+NH<sub>4</sub>NO<sub>3</sub> for 24-h post-N deficiency); and T<sub>4</sub> (+NH<sub>4</sub>NO<sub>3</sub> for 48-h post-N deficiency)]. Nitrogen deficiency was defined as N sufficiency index (NSI) < 95%. Height, tiller number, biomass, and root morphology were monitored to determine morphological responses. Stf-3 red rice had significantly greater growth measurements than Wells in terms of shoot and root characteristics. At T<sub>4</sub>, Stf-3 showed higher increment in root length and surface area than Wells. Shoot tissue concentrations of N and total sugars were measured to determine physiological response in N-deficient and N-supplemented plants. Stf-3 had greater N and sucrose tissue concentrations at N-deficient conditions compared with Wells, implying a stress-adaptive molecular mechanism regulated by N and sucrose availability.
