The reproduction of rice plant with its product, rice grains, is responsible for supporting the diet of more than half of the world's population.

Plants develop flower and seeds with or without fruit in their reproductive growth. Reproductive growth is a one-time process, in other words, determinate. Flower and seed development is a process that is taking place at a growing point at the tip of stem, often called shoot apical meristem (SAM). A growing point goes through reproductive growth only once. On a rice plant, the growing point develop a panicle in the reprocduion.
