Table 2 Mean dry matter (DM) weight, nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) concentration and its amount in the leaf sheaths plus stems, and leaf area index (LAI) at heading as affected by different CO2 concentrations and genotypes averaged for two years (2012 and 2013).

From: Quantitative trait loci for large sink capacity enhance rice grain yield under free-air CO2 enrichment conditions
