Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Rice is one of the most important cereal crops worldwide. Grain chalkiness has been reported to decrease rice quality and to be associated with starch biosynthesis and accumulation. In order to explore mechanism of chalky starch formation, microscopic and submicroscopic techniques were adopted in this study to observe the amyloplast morphology of rice endosperm cells. These techniques used serial semi-thin sections of rice caryopsis endosperm cells and chalky rice kernels at different development stages after anthesis. Amyloplasts with single-starch granule existed in both developing and mature endosperm cells from their appearance to degradation. In addition, particle size analysis of the chalky and normal starch granules showed that the circularity of the chalky single-starch granule was greater than that of the normal starch granule. Given the loose arrangement of single-starch granule caused by undesirable development, its granule is different from that of the normal endosperm cell. Therefore, the defective development of starch might be related to the chalky formation.
