In order to identify the genetic resources of rice varieties with higher translocation efficiency, the ratio of a number of large vascular bundles in the peduncle (Vb) to that of the primary rachis branch (Rb) (V/R ratio) was investigated in 103 varieties of Japanese native lowland rice. We found 6 high V/R ratio (-1.5) varieties, which consisted of two indica varieties and four temperate (Tm)-japonica varieties. The course of the Vb in the rachis of the Tm-japonica varieties with a high V/R ratio was compared with those of an indica variety, Habataki (V/R ratio
