源库关系改变对小麦灌浆期植株光合速率及~(14)C同化物运转分配的影响

选用千粒重大小不同的小麦品种,研究了去除顶端两个小穗对两类品种（大粒品种和小粒品种）千粒重、穗粒数、穗粒重、籽粒平均灌浆速率、单穗平均增重速率、植株光合速率及１４Ｃ同化物运转分配的影响。试验结果表明,去除顶端两个小穗后,两类品种的千粒重提高,穗粒数降低或基本不受影响,但降低比例明显低于去除小穗数的比例。籽粒平均灌浆速率和单穗平均增重速率（分别表征籽粒库容活性和穗粒库容活性）相应提高。结果,两类品种的穗粒重表现为补偿性增长。两类品种比较,小粒品种的增长幅度大于大粒品种。穗粒库容活性增强使得小粒品种灌浆中后期的植株光合速率提高,使两类品种分配到籽粒中的１４Ｃ同化物比例增加。从而表明,无论是植株光合速率还是同化物的运转分配皆受穗粒库容活性的调控,调控方式和幅度因品种类型而不同。但提高其穗粒重的着眼点都应当是提高穗粒库容活性。

镉胁迫对水稻颖果充实和淀粉合成关键酶活性的影响

盆栽试验研究了Cd胁迫对水稻(扬稻6号和粳稻941)颖果充实过程中颖果鲜千重、可溶性糖和淀粉含量以及淀粉合成关键酶活性的影响,结果显示Cd胁迫:(1)降低了颖果淀粉合成关键酶的活性,缩短了颖果维持上述酶活性的天数;(2)降低了颖果可溶性糖的含量;(3)颖果灌浆减慢,鲜重、干重增加速率减缓,灌浆的天数变短,最终成熟颖果干重降低.说明,淀粉合成关键酶活性下降和维持活性的时间缩短使淀粉等贮藏物质的合成和积累降低是Cd胁迫降低颖果粒重的原因之一.

地黄源库关系的变化及其与连作障碍的关系

通过正茬剪叶模拟连作地黄光合源不足条件下,测定分析植株源与库的关系,应用同位素示踪技术分析连作地黄光合产物的分配及内源激素的变化,以探讨地黄的连作障碍机制。结果表明:剪叶处理对植株的影响不能达到连作障碍程度,其库容及其活性大于连作地黄;连作地黄出现光合产物滞留于地上部,库的活性影响了植株光合产物向库的运输,在生长前期植株内源激素发生了变化;因此断定,连作地黄库容及其活性过低是限制地黄块根膨大的重要因素,库通过不同激素对源的反馈调节,抑制了地上源的光合能力及光合产物向库的分配,导致连作障碍。

Studies on the nature of relationships between grain size,spikelet number,grain yield and spikelet filling in late duration varieties of rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Summary Studies on the nature of relationship between grain size (in terms of thousand grain weight), grain number, rate of filling and yield have been worked out with late duration (140–150 days) rice varieties. Grain number per m², grains per panicle and yield showed a negative relationship with grain size. There was no compensatory balance between grain size and grain number within a range of thousand grain weight of 15 to 30 g. Based on the peaks in grain filling activity, the varieties were classified into four groups. There was no relationship between grain size and rate of grain filling thereby suggesting that grain filling is determined by inherent endogenous factors.     

The parameters of grain filling and yield components in common wheat (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Triticum aestivum</Emphasis> L.) and durum wheat (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Triticum turgidum</Emphasis> L. var. <Emphasis Type="Italic">durum</Emphasis>)

Final grain dry weight, a component of yield in wheat, is dependent on the duration and the rate of grain filling. The purpose of the study was to compare the grain filling patterns between common wheat, (Triticum aestivum L.), and durum wheat, (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum), and investigate relationships among grain filling parameters, yield components and the yield itself. The most important variables in differentiating among grain filling curves were final grain dry weight (W) for common wheat genotypes and grain filling rate (R) for durum wheat genotypes; however, in all cases the sets of variables important in differentiating among grain filling curves were extended to either two or all three parameters. Furthermore, in one out of three environmental conditions and for both groups of genotypes, the most important parameter in the set was grain filling duration (T). It indicates significant impact of environmental conditions on dry matter accumulation and the mutual effect of grain filling duration and its rate on the final grain dry weight. The medium early anthesis date could be associated with further grain weight and yield improvements in wheat. Grain filling of earlier genotypes occurs in more temperate environments, which provides enough time for gradual grain fill and avoids the extremes of temperature and the stress of dry conditions.

A simple method to evaluate genetic variation in grain zinc concentration by correcting for differences in grain yield

Increasing the grain zinc (Zn) concentration of staple food crops will help alleviate chronic Zn deficiency in many areas of the world. Significant variation in grain Zn concentration is often reported among collections of cereals, but frequently there is a concomitant variation in grain yield. In such cases grain Zn concentration and grain yield are often inversely related. Without considering the influence of the variation in grain yield on Zn concentration, the differences in grain Zn concentration may simply represent a yield dilution effect. Data from a series of field and glasshouse experiments was used to illustrate this effect and to describe an approach that will overcome the yield dilution effect. In experiments with a wide range of bread wheat, synthetic hexaploids and accessions of durum wheat, variation in grain yield among the genotypes accounted for 30–57% of the variation in grain Zn concentration. Variation in kernel weight also occurred, but was poorly correlated with grain Zn concentration. To account for the influence of variation in grain yield on grain Zn concentration grain Zn yield was plotted against grain yield. By defining the 95% confidence belt for the regression genotypes that have inherently low or high grain Zn concentrations at a given yield level can be identified. This method is illustrated using two data sets, one consisting of bread wheat and one comprising a collection of synthetic hexaploids.     

Factors affecting dry weight accumulation in developing barley endosperm

Some factors that may be concerned in determining final grain weight in barley ( Hordeum vulgare L. var. distichum ) have been investigated. Variation in endosperm fresh and dry weight, volume and starch content have been recorded at different stages of grain development between anthesis and harvest-ripeness for two barleys, cvs Kym and Golden Promise, differing in final grain weight. Results were recorded under both field and glasshouse conditions. The results suggest that the higher final dry weight of Kym, in comparison with Golden Promise, is a function of both rate and duration of grain filling. Only at later stages of endosperm development did the differences in volume become significant and the Kym endosperms continued to increased rapidly in volume for two to three days after endosperm volume had reached a maximum in Golden Promise. The rates of starch accumulation in both cultivars were very similar but starch deposition continued in Kym endosperms for four to five days after deposition in Golden Promise endosperms had slowed down.     

Deciphering the environmental impact on spike architectural traits for grain yield consolidation in bread wheat (T. aestivum L.)

The realization of grain yield in wheat is decided by source-sink balance under prevailing environmental conditions. Management conditions like changing the sowing time influence the source-sink capacity through modification in agronomic traits. Therefore, this experiment was conducted to decipher the influence of spike architectural traits (SATs) on grain yield and to open avenues for further grain yield enhancement. Comparatively early sowing over timely sowing gives the advantage of realizing higher grain yield with a positive relationship with SATs namely spike length, spikelets per spike, individual spike weight, individual grain weight, number of grains per spikelet, grain length, and grain width of upper and lower spike portion. Confirmatory factorial analysis revealed that spike length, spikelets per spike, individual spike weight, grains per spikelet were having a significant effect in deciding grain yield in early sown. The presence of a significant effect of genotype by environment interaction over grain yield and SATs allows the exploitation of available genotypic and environmental variability for further yield enhancement. GGE analysis on transformed and standardized grain yield-trait (GY-trait) combinations was used in the selection of genotypes having high GY-trait combinations for both sowing times. In early sowing, WG 11 was the best for high GY with high individual spike weight; grain length and grain width at lower and upper parts of the spike; and shorter days to 50% flowering. Genotypes exclusively having the high GY-trait combination along with low values of remaining GY-trait combinations were also selected with genotype focused GGE approach.     

Effects of foliar application of BAP on source and sink strength in four six-rowed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivars

A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of foliar application of a synthetic cytokinin (BAP) on source and sink strength of four different six-rowed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivars. Different spraying treatments consisting of spraying on whole plant, spraying only on leaves and spraying only on ears started at anthesis and continued for 7 days. One additional spraying was carried out on late period of grain filling. Results showed that spraying only on leaves did not affect ear weight, grain yield and 1,000-grain weight, while the two other treatments increased all above mentioned traits. Neither of treatments affected stem weight, biological yield and contribution of stem reserves in grain filling. Exogenous cytokinin did not increase photosynthetic rate and chlorophyll content in treated leaves until late period of grain filling, although there was no significant increase in final grain weight due to late application of BAP. Our results suggested that effects of foliar application of BAP were mostly due to increased sink size soon after anthesis and increased sink demand probably met by current photosynthesis of organs other than leaves, like ear green tissues.

Relevance of physiological efficiency in wheat grain quality and the prospects of improvement

Released and pre-released bread wheat varieties evaluated in national wheat programme of India (503 genotypes) during 2005–14 under different environments were examined for the role of physiological parameters in grain quality. Genotypes with slow plant height growth but faster rate of grain filling enhanced protein content. Plants where growth in height and grain development was slow, grains were hard, provided proportionate vegetative growth phase is longer. Steady grain growth rate benefited gluten strength and gluten quality. Irrespective of total crop duration, longer reproductive phase was an effective indicator of higher flour recovery and test weight. Magnitude and significance of morphological attributes in grain quality was almost similar to that of physiological processes, therefore prospects of utilizing these field traits were examined to enhance grain properties. Early heading and longer grain filling was effective to increase test weight whereas delayed heading and shorter plant height enhanced protein content. Bold grains hampered grain hardness and delayed heading added more bran in the flour. Genotypes with poor grain bearing and quick grain ripening had lower sedimentation value. Instead of protein, it was wet gluten which expressed negative association with yield. To improvise gluten quality, extended reproductive phase but with less grain weight was helpful. Contribution of longer post-anthesis period was observed crucial in flour recovery. These useful simple field expressions can be deployed to uplift quality of wheat grains.
