Testing the responses of four wheat crop models to heat stress at anthesis and grain filling

Higher temperatures caused by future climate change will bring more frequent heat stress events and pose an increasing risk to global wheat production. Crop models have been widely used to simulate future crop productivity but are rarely tested with observed heat stress experimental datasets. Four wheat models (DSSAT‐CERES‐Wheat, DSSAT‐Nwheat, APSIM‐Wheat, and WheatGrow) were evaluated with 4 years of environment‐controlled phytotron experimental datasets with two wheat cultivars under heat stress at anthesis and grain filling stages. Heat stress at anthesis reduced observed grain numbers per unit area and individual grain size, while heat stress during grain filling mainly decreased the size of the individual grains. The observed impact of heat stress on grain filling duration, total aboveground biomass, grain yield, and grain protein concentration (GPC) varied depending on cultivar and accumulated heat stress. For every unit increase of heat degree days (HDD, degree days over 30 °C), grain filling duration was reduced by 0.30–0.60%, total aboveground biomass was reduced by 0.37–0.43%, and grain yield was reduced by 1.0–1.6%, but GPC was increased by 0.50% for cv Yangmai16 and 0.80% for cv Xumai30. The tested crop simulation models could reproduce some of the observed reductions in grain filling duration, final total aboveground biomass, and grain yield, as well as the observed increase in GPC due to heat stress. Most of the crop models tended to reproduce heat stress impacts better during grain filling than at anthesis. Some of the tested models require improvements in the response to heat stress during grain filling, but all models need improvements in simulating heat stress effects on grain set during anthesis. The observed significant genetic variability in the response of wheat to heat stress needs to be considered through cultivar parameters in future simulation studies.     

NaCl胁迫对菜用大豆种子膨大过程中抗氧化系统及渗透调节物质的影响

采用蛭石栽培试验,在100mmol.L-1 NaCl胁迫下,对耐盐性不同的两个菜用大豆品种种子膨大、抗氧化系统及渗透调节物质进行了研究。结果显示:(1)耐盐品种‘绿领特早’种子干质量及大小的增加在NaCl胁迫15d时未受显著影响,而盐敏感品种‘理想高产95-1’种子的膨大受到了显著抑制。(2)NaCl胁迫导致菜用大豆种子超氧阴离子(O2.-)、过氧化氢(H2O2)及丙二醛(MDA)的过量积累,但‘绿领特早’种子的相对积累量均低于‘理想高产95-1’。(3)与‘理想高产95-1’相比,‘绿领特早’在NaCl胁迫期间维持了相对较高的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)及谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)活性,以及较高的抗坏血酸(AsA)、可溶性蛋白和可溶性糖含量;胁迫中期维持了相对较高的过氧化物酶(POD)活性,胁迫后期维持了相对较高的过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性;胁迫前中期维持了相对较高的谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量。研究发现,‘绿领特早’种子在NaCl胁迫期间能够保持较高且协调平衡的保护酶SOD、POD、CAT活性和较高的AsA-GSH循环效率,同时维持了较强的渗透调节能力,有效抑制了O2.-和H2O2的过量积累,进而有效降低了细胞膜质过氧化程度,这可能是其耐盐性较强的重要原因之一。     

Bacterial populations on brewery filling hall surfaces as revealed by next-generation sequencing

Due to the presence of moisture and nutrients, brewery filling line surfaces are susceptible to unwanted microbial attachment. Knowledge of the attaching microbes will aid in designing hygienic control of the process. In this study the bacterial diversity present on brewery filling line surfaces was revealed by next generation sequencing. The two filling lines studied maintained their characteristic bacterial community throughout three sampling times (13–163 days). On the glass bottle line, γ-proteobacteria dominated (35–82% of all OTUs), whereas on the canning line α-, β- and γ-proteobacteria and actinobacteria were most common. The most frequently detected genera were Acinetobacter, Propinobacterium and Pseudomonas. The halophilic genus Halomonas was commonly detected, which might be due to its tolerance to alkaline foam cleaners. This study has revealed a detailed overall picture of the bacterial groups present on filling line surfaces. Further effort should be given to determine the efficacy of washing procedures on different bacterial groups.     

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.     

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.     

Synthesis of salt-soluble proteins in barley. Pulse-labeling study of grain filling in liquid-cultured detached spikes

The accumulation of salt-soluble proteins in the endosperm of developing barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) grains was examined. Detached spikes of barley were cultured at different levels of nitrogen nutrition and pulse-labeled with [¹⁴C] sucrose at specific times after anthesis. Proteins were extracted from isolated endosperms and separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and crossed immunoelectrophoresis. Fluorography revealed an early, middle and late synthesis of specific proteins during grain filling. Synthesis of proteins appearing at the later stages responded to increased nitrogen nutrition. Two major components, -amylase and protein Z in particular, had a synthesis profile almost identical to that of the endosperm storage protein, hordein.Abbreviations CIE Crossed immunoelectrophoresis - SDSPAGE Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
