Meanwhile, N fertilizer application (N = 270–360 kg·ha^–1) delayed the time to reach the maximal grain-filling rate, extending it to approximately 18.4–19.9 days after flowering, and enzyme activity also peaked around the same time. Grain-filling rate was positively correlated with the activities of AGPase and SBE after N fertilization. They were also significantly correlated with milling, appearance, and nutritional quality after 22 days of flowering.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>N fertilization achieved a harmonious balance between the grain-filling rate and starch synthase activities, ultimately improving milling, appearance, and nutritional quality.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Significance and Novelty</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>N fertilization regulated the coordination between grain-filling rate and starch synthase activity for rice quality.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":9807,"journal":{"name":"Cereal Chemistry","volume":"101 5","pages":"1043-1054"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141350802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
