Key Findings
- Lower temperatures (17–19 ℃) encourage earlier sprouting of rice axillary buds compared to higher temperatures (28–30 ℃)
- At cooler temperatures, rice plants develop shorter rhizomes with smaller angles between branches, leading to quicker upward growth
- Genes related to auxin hormone production and transport are more active in cooler conditions, influencing the direction and timing of rice plant growth
