Chlorophyll content in rice varieties (Purnendu, Swarnaprabha, IR64, IR8) under normal light (NL) and simulated low light (LL) during the reproductive stage (Kharif 2022 and 2023). (a) Total chlorophyll (Chl a + b), (b) chlorophyll a/b ratio in flag (FL), second (2L), third (3L), and fourth (4L) leaves at 50% flowering. Data represent mean of six replicates across both seasons. Asterisks indicate significance by t-test (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01).
