Tiller - Tiller (English spelling)

Japanese: 分げつ(分蘖) - ぶんげつ(英語表記)tiller
Tiller - Tiller (English spelling)
Lateral branches that form at the soil edge of grass crops. It is also used as a term to describe the phenomenon of the formation of lateral branches. In many grass crops, many leaves grow densely at the base of the main stem, and tiller buds equivalent to lateral buds form in each leaf axil. The tiller buds develop in correspondence with the development of the leaves on the main stem, and become tillers. This correspondence is known to be highly regular in rice and wheat, and the developed tillers have an appearance similar to that of the main stem, except for one anterior leaf with a unique shape at the base.

Japanese:
イネ科農作物の地際に形成される側枝。また側枝の形成される現象を示す用語としても使われる。イネ科の農作物の多くでは,主茎の基部には多数の葉が密生し,各葉腋(ようえき)に側芽に相当する分げつ芽が形成される。分げつ芽は主茎の葉の発育と対応して発育し,分げつとなる。この対応関係はイネ,コムギでは極めて規則的なことが知られており,また発育した分げつは基部に特異な形態を示す1枚の前葉を有するほかは,主茎と類似した外観を呈するようになる。
