“…Previous studies showed that the NSC content in fresh rice straw after grain harvest increased with the decrease of stubble height, there were more NSC stored in the basal stem node, and the WSC content was significantly higher than that of starch (Dong et al, 2011(Dong et al, , 2013(Dong et al, , 2018, but there were different results in this study (Figures 2,5,and 6). No matter the first season was harvested at waxy ripening stage, milk stage, or even heading stage, the first season grass and ratooning grass of weedy rice both had grain-filling panicles, and the accumulation of photosynthetic products in rice panicle was high, while the main components of that filling-panicle were starch, so the content of NSC in weedy rice grass was increased, and the main component of NSC was starch (Figures 2,5,and 6).…”
