结实期水分胁迫对不同氮肥水平下水稻产量及其品质的影响

以生产上广泛使用的3个水稻品种为材料,研究了结实期适度水分胁迫对不同氮肥水平下稻米产量及其品质的影响.结果表明,正常施氮水平下,水分胁迫使3个品种籽粒产量降低11.6%～14.7%,虽整精米率有所提高,但垩白度却显著增加(18.7%～33.1%),外观品质变劣;而高氮水平下,水分胁迫处理的产量增加18.8%～22.2%,垩白粒率和垩白度分别降低15.3%～37.2%和13.7%～29.9%,外观品质变优.稻米RVA谱特征值和米饭质地也明显受到结实期土壤水分和施氮水平的影响.正常施氮水平下,水分胁迫处理的最高粘度和崩解值(扬稻6号除外)要低于水层灌溉处理,而其消减值却明显高于水层灌溉处理,水分胁迫使得正常施氮处理的米饭口感较硬,弹性较差,粘性降低,且咀嚼有渣感.而高氮水平下,水分胁迫利于米粉糊化过程中早期粘度的上升,最高粘度增加,崩解值也明显高于水层灌溉,消减值却明显减小,米饭的硬性和凝聚性减小,松弛性和粘附性增大,米饭质地有变优的趋势.

Variation for improved protein and yield from rice anther culture

Summary The anther culture technique is useful for the recovery of haploids which when doubled provide homozygosity. Additionally, beneficial as well as deleterious genetic and epigenetic changes are promoted by the in vitro procedures. The majority of plants recovered from anther calli of the cultivar Calrose 76 were similar to the starting cultivar but plants regenerated from microspore calli had a wider range of responses than controls for several characteristics. Plants with larger seeds, higher levels of seed protein, shorter stature and more highly tillered than the starting cultivar were obtained from selfed anther-derived plants. The data also support the concept that in vitro procedures including anther culture of specific cultivars of rice promoted the recovery of phenotypes with increased seed storage proteins.Contribution from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Science and Education, Agricultural Research Service, Plant Physiology Institute, Tissue Culture and Molecular Genetics Laboratory, Room 116, Building 011-A, BARC-West, Beltsville, Maryland 20705, USA     

Studies on induced variability for amylose content with reference to yield components and protein characteristics in rice

Two rice varieties namely TKM-6 and Norin-27 representing respectively high and low amylose content subjected to gamma rays and EMS treatments were screened in M₂ (M₃ endosperm) and M₃ (M₄ endosperm) generations for amylose content. The study, in general, revealed that the character responded well to mutagen induceable changes as evident from the significantly increased variation in the treated populations. Further, it was observed that while relatively more toxic gamma rays induced higher variance but low heritability, the less toxic EMS was characterized by showing low variance coupled with high heritability, thereby indicating the relationship between the estimates of variance and heritability to depend on the toxicity of the mutagen employed. The mean of the treated populations tended to shift away from that of the respective control in the negative and positive directions respectively in the high and low amylose varieties. On the basis of the foregoing results, guidelines with respect to the choice of material and mutagen for effective improvement of the character are suggested.Consequent effect of mutagen-induced changes in the starch fraction on yield-promoting attributes and protein characteristics was estimated through correlation analysis. The study revealed that the nature and strength of the relationship of cooking and nutritive qualities with yield components could be altered through mutagenic treatments.     

Influence of rhizobia,azotobacter and blue-green algae on N content and yield of rice

Summary Inoculation with root-nodule bacteria had favourable influence on N-uptake and yield of wheat. Since waterlogged root region of rice permits higher nitrogenase activity a pot culture experiment was conducted using same nine strains of rhizobia,Azotobacter chroococcum and bluegreen algae as inoculants.R. leguminosarum in combination with 50 kg N ha⁻¹;R. japonicum and a strain of rhizobium isolated from moong bean increased the yield of paddy cv. Pusa-33. On the other hand an adverse effect of bacterial inoculation and of applied N was observed in case of Azotobacter, and rhizobia isolated from green gram, cicer, soyabean and clover. The importance of plant type, growth conditions and application of inorganic N in determining the success of plant-rhizobial associations is emphasised.     

施氮水平对两种水稻产量影响的动态模拟及施肥优化分析

借助水稻生长模型ORYZA-0和氮肥管理模块,通过田间和水槽的水稻氮肥试验,对水稻模型和N素动态模块进行了验证。结果表明,模型模拟的不同N素水平水稻生物量、产量同实际测定值明显呈正相关。其中,氮肥用量160kg·hm^-2为最佳经济施氮量,通过获得的水稻参数和氮肥应用曲线模拟的氮肥运筹结果表明：1)在低N(N<100kg·hm^-2)水平下,氮肥应在移栽后35d内全部施入;2)当施氮量为100～200kg·hm^-2时,N应在移栽后45d内全部施入;3)当施氮量N>200kg·hm^-2时,氮肥应在移栽后60d内全部施入;4)随着施氮量的增加,后期施肥比重可略为增加。总体来看,模型不仅能较准确地模拟水稻生长动态,而且可以模拟水稻N吸收和积累的行为动态,从大田晚稻的氮肥运筹模拟结果可看出,氮肥应用次数越多,越接近施氮应用积累曲线的连续施氮产量模拟值(6199kg·hm^-2),但是在实际生产中这会增加农民的用工量和生产成本,难以让农民接受。因而在生产实际中既能让生产者接受,又不致较多地影响产量和收入,在160kg·hm^-2(纯N)施用量下的最佳施肥方案为N素化肥分4次按0．2：0．3：0．3：0．2的比例,分别于移栽后5、20、30和40d施入,可获得5916kg·hm^-2的产量。     

Effect of sulfur-containing agrochemicals on growth,yield, and protein content of soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr)

In this study, effect of different forms of sulfur-containing agrochemicals on growth, yield, and protein content of soybean grains have been evaluated. Three forms were used, such as powdery, solute, and pasty, in which elemental sulfur is contained in a nanostructured state. Plants treated with powdered and solute sulfur-containing agrochemicals had the highest growth and grain yield values, and the effect of applying pasty sulfur-containing agrochemicals did not differ from the control, in which there was low yield on all variants. The use of powdered and solute sulfur-containing agrochemicals increased all protein fractions in soybeans. The results show that the use of powdered and solute sulfur-containing agrochemicals is necessary to boost the yield of soy and increase the supply of proteins in the grains. A key factor in the availability of sulfur for soybean plants is the conversion of sulfur to a nanodisperse state. This study provides relevant information about sulfur-containing agrochemicals, which can promote higher seed yields and increase the content of protein in soybeans.     

Brassinosteroid signaling and application in rice

Combined approaches with genetics, biochemistry, and proteomics studies have greatly advanced our understanding of brassinosteroid (BR) signaling in Arabidopsis. However, in rice, a model plant of monocot and as well an important crop plant, BR signaling is not as well characterized as in Arabidopsis. Recent studies by forward and reverse genetics have identified a number of either conserved or specific components of rice BR signaling pathway, bringing new ideas into BR signaling regulation mechanisms. Genetic manipulation of BR level or BR sensitivity to improve rice yield has established the great significance of BR research achievements.     

A rice protein library: a data-file of rice proteins separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis

Proteins extracted from embryos, endosperms and leaves of rice were separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis and relative molecular weights and isoelectric points were determined. The separated proteins were electroblotted onto a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane and 85 electroblotted proteins were analyzed by a gas-phase protein sequencer. The N-terminal amino-acid sequences of 27 out of 85 proteins were determined in this manner. The N-terminal regions of the remaining proteins could not be sequenced and they were inferred to have a blocking group at the N-terminus. Among proteins, 11 could be sequenced after deblocking by in situ treatment with pyroglutamyl peptidase. The internal amino-acid sequences of 23 proteins were determined by sequence analysis of peptides obtained by Cleveland peptide mapping. The amino-acid sequences determined here were compared with those of known plant and animal proteins. The concanavalin A-peroxidase method was used to determine whether the 85 proteins were glycosylated and the diagonal electrophoresis method was used to determine whether they contained disulphide bonding. Finally, we constructed a data-file of rice proteins including information on relative molecular weight, isoelectric point, amino-acid sequence, sequence homology, glycosylation, and the presence of disulphide bonding.     

Iron content and bioavailability in rice

Iron deficiency is probably the most widespread micronutrient deficiency in humans. Since rice is the main staple food for more than half of the global population, improving the iron content and bioavailability in rice is a perspective and an effective way to alleviate or even solve this problem. The present paper evaluates the iron content in different cereal foods (black rice, rice, red rice, sticky rice and millet) and different rice seeds as well as in the milling products, and the iron bioavailability of different forms. The data show that the iron content in black rice is higher than in the other rice types, and in rice chaff and husk the content is still fairly high. However, the iron content in rice and fine rice, which are the people's main staple food, is fairly low. As to the bioavailability of iron, it is fairly low in vegetable foods, almost at the level of 10%. Several methods have been applied to improve iron content and bioavailability in rice seed. Apart from breeding and genetic engineering, biochemical and physical approaches have frequently been used as prospective methods to regulate iron content and bioavailability in rice grains.     

Effects of deep placement and surface application of urea on the yield of wetland rice in pot trials

Summary The effects of deep placement and surface application of urea fertilizer on the yield of rice grown in pots of alluvial clay soil covered with 5 cm water was studied under controlled conditions. Application of two levels of urea supergranules and prills (2 g and 4 g urea/0.1 m²) on the surface of submerged soil increased the vegetative growth and enhanced the grain yield as much as 85%. However, no difference in yield was found between urea prills applied in three split doses and one application of urea supergranules.Deep placement of two levels of urea supergranules in the soil at four different depths (2.5, 5.0, 10.0 and 15.0 cm) resulted in the highest yields. The fertilizer was most efficient when the highest concentration was placed in the soil at a depth of 5.0 cm. This application method increased the grain yield by 20% as compared with the soil surface application.     

Robust discriminant analysis and its application to identify protein coding regions of rice genes

Identification of protein coding regions is fundamentally a statistical pattern recognition problem. Discriminant analysis is a statistical technique for classifying a set of observations into predefined classes and it is useful to solve such problems. It is well known that outliers are present in virtually every data set in any application domain, and classical discriminant analysis methods (including linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA)) do not work well if the data set has outliers. In order to overcome the difficulty, the robust statistical method is used in this paper. We choose four different coding characters as discriminant variables and an approving result is presented by the method of robust discriminant analysis.     

Application of a progressive-difference method to identify climatic factors causing variation in the rice yield in the Yangtze Delta, China

Time series of rice yields consist of a technology-driven trend and variations caused by climate fluctuations. To explore the relationship between yields and climate, the trend and temporal variation often have to be separated. In this study, a progressive-difference method was applied to eliminate the trend in time series. By differentiating yields and climatic factors in 2 successive years, the relationship between variations in yield and climatic factors was determined with multiple- regression analysis. The number of hours of sunshine, the temperature and the precipitation were each defined for different intervals during the growing season and used as different regression variables. Rice yields and climate data for the Yangtze Delta of China from 1961 to 1990 were used as a case study. The number of hours of sunshine during the tillering stage and the heading to milk stage particularly affected the yield. In both periods radiation was low. In the first period, the vegetative organs of the rice crop were formed while in the second period solar radiation was important for grain filling. The average temperature during the tillering to jointing stage reached its maximum, which affected rice yields negatively. Precipitation was generally low during the jointing and booting stages, which had a positive correlation with yield, while high precipitation had a negative effect during the milk stage. The results indicate that the climatic factors should be expressed as 20- to 30-day averages in the Yangtze Delta; a shorter or longer period, e.g. 10 or 40 days, is less appropriate.

Mapping quantitative trait loci for milling quality, protein content and color characteristics of rice using a recombinant inbred line population derived from an elite rice hybrid

Milling properties, protein content, and flour color are important factors in rice. A marker-based genetic analysis of these traits was carried out in this study using recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from an elite hybrid cross ’Shanyou 63’, the most-widely grown rice hybrid in production in China. Correlation analysis shows that the traits were inter-correlated, though the coefficients were generally small. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis with both interval mapping (IM) and composite interval mapping (CIM) revealed that the milling properties were controlled by the same few loci that are responsible for grain shape. The QTL located in the interval of RM42-C734b was the major locus for brown rice yield, and the QTL located in the interval of C1087-RZ403 was the major locus for head rice yield. These two QTLs are the loci for grain width and length, respectively. The Wx gene plays a major role in determining protein content and flour color, and is modified by several QTLs with minor effect. The implications of the results in rice breeding were discussed. Received: 15 September 2000 / Accepted: 31 March 2001     

Role of local germplasm and induced mutations in the improvement of the protein content in rice

Summary Ninety local cultivars and 124 induced grain shape mutants were screened for their protein content and the distribution of protein in their endosperm. The protein content varied widely from 4.2 to 12.1% in the local varieties and from 5.5 to 13.7% in the mutants. Some high protein lines like Chinnavadlu, Budumavadlu, etc. with more than 10.0% protein were identified. Protein distribution studies have shown that several mutants, such as IR-8-FG-28, IR-8-FG-33, etc., have a deeper distribution of protein bodies and some local cultivars, like Kakathya and Muchulu, have a relatively more uniform distribution of protein in the endosperm. The protein content at different milling levels revealed that at 12% milling the percentage retention of protein varied from about 79 to 96% irrespective of the percentage of protein, suggesting that the distribution of protein, in addition to the protein content, plays an important role in nutritive value of rice.
