Creators Ishibashi Hajime

The writer made an experiment to determine whether rice seedlings can absorb silica from tfie hull of rice grain. For the experiment Meubauer's seedling method was adopted. The results obtained were as follows:- 1. The rice seedlings absorbed a good deal of silica from the hull of rice grains mixed in the culture sand. 2. Taking into consideiation the weakness of rice seedlings germinated from hulled grains, the writer was not sure that the seedlings from the unhulled rice grains absorbed silica from their own hulls.
