Abstract
There is no doubt that the life cycle of crop plants depends on two fundamental metabolic processes: photosynthesis and nutrient absorption. When these two important functions are considered in connection with morphology of crops, we can easily find out the differentiation of functions, that is, photosynthesis by green leaves and nutrient absorption by roots. In the past, a number of investigations have been made on these two functions of rice plants, the physiology of their leaves as photosynthetic organ has also been studied in detail. On the physiology of roots, however, knowledge which we have today is not as detailed as is deemed necessary.
