Comparative studies on the difference of root morphological and physiological characteristics related with zinc absorption between two varieties of rice , one named “Xiangzhaoxian 17” which belongs to Zn\|poor grain genotype and the other named V56 which belongs to Zn\|rich grain genotype, were carried out by means of using solution culture and radioisotope techniques. Compared with “Xiangzhaoxian 17”, V56 has bigger root system (longer length, bigger volume and greater biomass), greater root\|top ratio, and lower \%K\%\-\{m\}value of zinc ...
