| Light intensity is an important factor affected rice growth and productivity. A comparative study on the effects of light intensity were investigated in three cultivars of black glutinous rice No.19, 27 and 51. Seeds were hydroponically grown for 30 days then divided into 3 groups: grow under natural light condition (300 Klux) and under low light condition 2 levels (3 and 1 Klux) using shaded net. The effect of light intensity on four growth-stages including; seedling, tillering, heading and maturity was observed. The results showed that the low light intensity caused decrease fresh weight, dry weight and anthocyanin contents in all cultivars. Moreover, the heading stage had higher anthocyanin content than other stages. The No. 51 had the highest level of... |
