Fig. 1 Inhibitory effect of water soluble extracts from different tissues during the growth period of rice plants. 1, four-leaf stage; 2, six-leaf stage; 3, 1 wk before heading; 4, 2 wk after heading. Lettuce was grown in water as the control. Bars are the average of three replication of samples, and the lines indicate standard deviation
