The repeated elements called phytomers, which consist of leaf, node, internode and axillary bud, play an important role in the development of modular organization in plants. Rice has the striking feature that the rate of the phytomer production is closely synchronized with the rate of leaf emergence (phyllochron). We examined developmental changes of phyllochron by using 10 near-isogenic lines (NILs) showing diversified growth durations in rice. The NILs were established by backcrosses with a strain practically insensitive to photoperiod, and they consisted of early- or late-flowering NILs whose differences of growth duration were caused by the combinations of alleles at 6 loci. The developmental patterns of phyllochron were evaluated by means of a quartic polynomial, which fitted well in most cases. The results indicated that phyllochron greatly changed during development, especially in late-flowering NILs as well as the recurrent parents, although the fluctuation of phyllochron was not so marked in the early-flowering NILs. Thus, the developmental change of phyllochron was highly dependent upon the genotypes and/or growth duration; however, it was associated with neither floral initiation nor temperature, indicating that the change of phyllochron might reflect internal or physiological changes which occur during the life cycle of rice.
