Relationship between Rice Plant Physiology and Methane Transmitting in Paddy Field

Abstract

Production of methane in paddy field depends on many factors such as factors of paddy field management including wastes from post harvesting and irrigation system, and factors of environment including nutrition, heat and light intensity. Moreover, there are factors of rice properties such as morphology, physiology and rice variety. Especially, the difference of rice physiologies is clearly related to rice varieties and habitat because of genetic function. Therefore, the study of relationship between rice physiologies and methane emission leads to the development of rice varieties for reducing methane emission but maintaining rice phenotype to improve the environmentally friendly paddy field system.
