Abstract Background: Improvement in photosynthesis is one of the most promising approaches to increase grain yields in crop plants. In our previous research using an isolated experimental paddy field, transgenic rice plants overproducing Rubisco by 30% (RBCS-sense rice plants) showed up to 28% increase in grain yields under sufficient nitrogen (N) fertilization. Furthermore, the plant N contents above-ground sections and Rubisco contents of the flag leaves were higher in the RBCS-sense rice plants than the wild-type rice plants during the ripening period, which may be reasons for the increased yields.Result: In this research, the photosynthetic capacity and canopy architecture were analyzed to explore factors for the increased yields of RBCS-sense rice plants. It was found that N had already been preferentially distributed into the flag leaves at the early ripening stage, contributing to maintaining higher Rubisco content levels in the enlarged flag leaves and extending the lifespan of the flag leaves of RBCS-sense rice plants throughout ripening periods under sufficient N fertilization. The higher amounts of Rubisco also improved the photosynthetic activity in the flag leaves throughout the ripening period. Although the enlarged flag leaves of the RBCS-sense rice plants occupied large spatial areas of the uppermost layer in the canopy, no significant prevention of light penetration to leaves below the flag leaves was observed. Additionally, since the CO2 assimilation rates of lower leaves between wild-type and RBCS-sense rice plants were the same at the early ripening stage, the lower leaves did not contribute to an increase in yields between the two genotypes.Conclusion: It was concluded that improvements in the photosynthetic capacity by higher leaf N and Rubisco contents, enlarged the leaf area, and extended the lifespan of flag leaves, causing an increase in grain yields of RBCS-sense rice plants grown under sufficient N fertilization.
