A kind of nematode of Aphelenchoides was isolated from the grains of rice variety Wuyujing 3 which performed ＇small grains and erect panicles＇ symptom. There were 2014 nematodes in one hundred grains infected, and up to 74 in single grain, 92 percent of the grains tested had nematodes in the infested panicles. The diagnosis characters of nematode include lateral fields about one-fourth as wide as body, with 4 incisures. The terminus bears a mucro of diverse shape with 3-4 pointed processes. The female post-vulval uterine sac extends less than 50% of distance from vulva to anus, no sperm in it. Oocytes usually arrange in 2-4 rows. The male spicules have a moderately developed rostrum. Morphological measurements showed it to be conspecific with Aphelenchoides besseyi Christie, 1942.展开更多

The relationship between the nutrient contents and treatment factors could be simulated using a multiple quadratic equation. The nutrient contents in plants should be appropriate for high-yielding rice. If the mean nutrient content in rice plants producing 11 t ha-1 or more of grain (μj) was set as the standard value and the standard deviation (σj) was set as the range of variation, the nutrient content in high-yielding rice plants should be μj±1.99σj. Rice leaves were sensitive to the nutrient elements. Heavy nitrogen dressing increased the content of nitrogen in rice plants. Sparse transplanting also increased nitrogen content. Improper application of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium could affect the nutrient contents and decrease the grain yield.展开更多

In this study, hyperspectral reflectance of rice panicles was measured at the visible and near-infrared regions. The panicles were divided into three groups according to health conditions： healthy panicles, empty panicles caused by Nilaparvata lugens St^l, and panicles infected with Ustilaginoidea virens. Low order derivative spectra, namely, the first and second orders, were obtained using different techniques. Principal component analysis （PCA） was performed to obtain the principal component spectra （PCS） of the foregoing derivative and raw spectra to reduce the reflectance spectral dimension. Support vector classification （SVC） was employed to discriminate the healthy, empty, and infected panicles, with the front three PCS as the in- dependent variables. The overall accuracy and kappa coefficient were used to assess the classification accuracy of SVC. The overall accuracies of SVC with PCS derived from the raw, first, and second reflectance spectra for the testing dataset were 96.55%, 99.14%, and 96.55%, and the kappa coefficients were 94.81%, 98.71%, and 94.82%, respectively. Our results demonstrated that it is feasible to use visible and near-infrared spectroscopy to discriminate health conditions of rice panicles.展开更多

Such interference can be largely eliminated if panicles are phenotyped at the 3 D level.Research on 3 D panicle phenotyping has been limited. Given that existing 3 D modeling techniques do not focus on specified parts of a target object, an efficient method for panicle modeling of large numbers of rice plants is lacking. This paper presents an automatic and nondestructive method for 3 D panicle modeling. The proposed method integrates shoot rice reconstruction with shape from silhouette, 2 D panicle segmentation with a deep convolutional neural network, and 3 D panicle segmentation with ray tracing and supervoxel clustering. A multiview imaging system was built to acquire image sequences of rice canopies with an efficiency of approximately 4 min per rice plant. The execution time of panicle modeling per rice plant using 90 images was approximately 26 min. The outputs of the algorithm for a single rice plant are a shoot rice model, surface shoot rice model, panicle model, and surface panicle model, all represented by a list of spatial coordinates. The efficiency and performance were evaluated and compared with the classical structure-from-motion algorithm. The results demonstrated that the proposed method is well qualified to recover the 3 D shapes of rice panicles from multiview images and is readily adaptable to rice plants of diverse accessions and growth stages. The proposed algorithm is superior to the structure-from-motion method in terms of texture preservation and computational efficiency. The sample images and implementation of the algorithm are available online. This automatic, cost-efficient, and nondestructive method of 3 D panicle modeling may be applied to high-throughput 3 D phenotyping of large rice populations.展开更多

There were slight differences among the treatments in peak emerging time of callus initiation, from 38 to 44 days after inoculation （DAI） as well as the frequency of callus initiation （2.3-3.5%）. About two thirds calli were induced before 44 DAI, and calli derived beyond 60 DAI lost the regeneration ability. Green plant regeneration frequency was significantly stimulated from two- to three-fold by irradiation of the 1370S gamma rays compared with the control, and the maximum was 22,81% （15 Gy）. The culture ability based on callus initiation and green plantlet regeneration was 0.19% for the control while it was over 0.45% for all the irradiated treatments, and the maximum was 0,59% for 15 Gy treatment. The advantages of panicle irradiation before anther culture and the potential application in rice anther culture, especially for recalcitrant indica rice, were discussed.展开更多

Accord- ing to the results, the panicle type of japonica rice had no direct correlation with albumin content, globulin content, prolamin content and glutelin content in rice, variations of protein composition of grains at different positions in panicles. There were certain correlations between soluble protein contents at different grain posi- tions in the same panicle and the flowering order of glumous flowers in the panicle. Albumin content, prolamin content and glutelin content in grains on secondary rachis branches of two panicle types （erect and curved） of japonica rice cuhivars were higher than that on primary rachis branches, while globulin content exhibited an opposite trend. Globulin content, prolamin content and glutelin content in grains at different positions demonstrated a descending order of bottom 〉 middle 〉 top, while albumin content exhibited an opposite trend. The interactions between primary and secondary rachis branches and among top, middle and bottom rachis branches significantly affected soluble protein contents.展开更多

The data base consisted of blast design parameters, explosive parameters, modulus of elasticity and in-situ block size. The seven input independent variables used for the SVMs model for the prediction of X50 of rock blast fragmentation were the ratio of bench height to drilled burden （H/B）, ratio of spacing to burden （S/B）, ratio of burden to hole diameter （B/D）, ratio of stemming to burden （T/B）, powder factor （Pf）, modulus of elasticity （E） and in-situ block size （XB）. After using the 90 sets of the measured data in various mines and rock formations in the world for training and testing, the model was applied to 12 another blast data for validation of the trained support vector regression （SVR） model. The prediction results of SVR were compared with those of artificial neural network （ANN）, multivariate regression analysis （MVRA） models, conventional Kuznetsov method and the measured X50 values. The proposed method shows promising results and the prediction accuracy of SVMs model is acceptable.展开更多

The number of large vascular bundles (LVB), the number of small vascular bundles (SVB) in the peduncle, and the panicle traits including the number of primary rachis branches (PRB), the number of spikelets per panicle (SNP), peduncle top diameter (PTD), and panicle length (PL) were investigated in the parents and DH lines. The quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for each trait were analyzed based on the constructed molecular linkage map of this population. Three QTLs for LVB (qLVB_1, qLVB_6 and qLVB_7) were detected on chromosomes 1, 6, and 7, respectively. Two putative QTLs for SVB (qSVB_4 and qSVB_6) were mapped on chromosomes 4 and 6 respectively. Four QTLs (qPRB_4a, qPRB_4b, qPRB_6 and qPRB_7) on chromosomes 4, 6, and 7, respectively, were detected for PRB. Three QTLs (qSPN_4a, qSPN_4b and qSPN_6) were identified on chromosomes 4 and 6, respectively, which could significantly affect SPN. Five QTLs for PTD (qPTD_2, qPTD_5, qPTD_6, qPTD_8 and qPTD_12) were identified on chromosomes 2, 5, 6, 8, and 12, respectively. Three QTLs for PL (qPL_4, qPL_6 and qPL_8) were detected on chromosomes 4, 6, and 8, respectively. Clustering of QTLs, such as qLVB_6, qSVB_6, qSNP_6, qPTD_6, and qPL_6 detected in the interval G122_G1314b on chromosome 6, was found. These results suggest that some QTLs for peduncle vascular bundle system are possibly responsible for the panicle traits.展开更多

The results showed that under both high and ordinary nitrogen levels, high temperature stress reduced the seed-setting rate, yield per stem, SPAD value and soluble sugar content of Ganxin 203; under both high and ordinary tem- peratures, high nitrogen level increased the seed-setting rate, yield per stem and soluble sugar content of Ganxin 203; the seed-setting rate, yield per stem and yield per plant of Ganxin 203 under high temperature and high nitrogen level were higher than those under high temperature and ordinary nitrogen level. It suggests that ap- propriate high nitrogen level contributes to weakening the negative effects of high temperature stress on rice yield.展开更多

[Method] The yield performance of various super rice and non-super rice cultivars that were cultivated in large area in Sichuan Chengdu was studied under high-yielding cultivation conditions from 2006 to 2008. [Result] The rice yield was closely correlated with the productive panicle number, grain number per panicle, seed setting rate and 1 000-grain weight. The four yield components showed different influences on the yield of different rice culti- vars. By adopting the high yielding cultivation technology （that the seedlings were planted in a triangle shape） at the target yield of 10.5-11.25 t/hm~, we found that the rice yield of super rice cultivars was closely correlated with productive panicle number and 1 000-grain weight, negatively correlated with grain number per panicle, and significantly negatively correlated with seed setting rate; the grain yield of non- super rice cultivars was negatively correlated with grain number per panicle and seed setting rate, and significantly negatively correlated with the productive panicle number and 1 000-grain weight. [Conclusion] The results revealed the relationship between grain yield and yield components in different rice cultivars, which provided references for developing reasonable cultivation measures and thus to improve the yield of super rice in large acreage.展开更多

The results showed that a total of 23 QTLs controlling three panicle traits were detected on chromosomes 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 10, respec- tively, including 5 QTLs controlling PL, 8 QTLs controlling TSP, 10 QTLs controlling GD, with the LOD value ranging between 2.5-9.3, and the QTLs explained the ob- served phenotypic by 4.0%-20.8%. The marker interval RM5699-RM424 on chro- mosome 2, RM489-RM1278 on chromosome 3, RM3367-RM1018 on chromosome 4, RM3343-RM412 on chromosome 6 were common marker intervals for TSP and GD; six QTLs （qPL3, qTSP4, qTSP6-2, qTSP7, qGD3-2 and qGDT） were detected in two years. Among these QTLs, the qPL3, qTSP6-2, qGD3-2 and qGD7 were major QTLs. All QTLs for PL mapped in the present study had been mapped QTLs previously by other research groups, 16 QTLs controlling TSP and GD were new ones which contributed the observed phenotypic variance range by 4%-9.5%. These results laid a founda^ion for further fine positioning or cloning these QTLs.展开更多

In addition, the influencing factors on wheat yield were discussed to es- tablish suitable cultural practice. [Method] Main popularized cultivars and some new strains of wheat were selected as matedals and planted in the Funan Farm and Longkang Farm in 2009-2011. The yield stability and influencing factors on yield of wheat were discussed. [Resalt] In Anhui Province, the weather had a great influence on wheat yield, resulting in significant differences in wheat yield among different years. Drought was the main factor restricting the yield. [Conclusion] （1） It was easy to achieve high yield when the three influencing factors on wheat yield were coordi- nated. （2） The occurred drought disaster in 20tl was the main factor limiting the 1 000- grain weight and final yield of wheat. （3） Different cultivars showed different yield stabilities. Among the test wheat cultivars, two cultivars （Wanke 06290 and Yannong 19） showed good yield stability, while Xinfumai No.1 showed higher yield. （4） The three influencing factors played different roles in different cultivars. In the promotion process, the characteristics of wheat cultivars should be fully understood. To achieve high yield, integrating cultural practices is a necessity.展开更多

文摘Field experiments were carried out with rice variety of Shennong 91 of short culms and erect panicles to study nutrient contents in high-yielding rice plants and to increase rice yield by appropriate fertilization.Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, zinc, manganese, iron and copper contents in rice plants varied with different treatment factors. The relationship between the nutrient contents and treatment factors could be simulated using a multiple quadratic equation. The nutrient contents in plants should be appropriate for high-yielding rice. If the mean nutrient content in rice plants producing 11 t ha-1 or more of grain (μj) was set as the standard value and the standard deviation (σj) was set as the range of variation, the nutrient content in high-yielding rice plants should be μj±1.99σj. Rice leaves were sensitive to the nutrient elements. Heavy nitrogen dressing increased the content of nitrogen in rice plants. Sparse transplanting also increased nitrogen content. Improper application of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium could affect the nutrient contents and decrease the grain yield.

文摘Detection of crop health conditions plays an important role in making control strategies of crop disease and insect damage and gaining high-quality production at late growth stages. In this study, hyperspectral reflectance of rice panicles was measured at the visible and near-infrared regions. The panicles were divided into three groups according to health conditions： healthy panicles, empty panicles caused by Nilaparvata lugens St^l, and panicles infected with Ustilaginoidea virens. Low order derivative spectra, namely, the first and second orders, were obtained using different techniques. Principal component analysis （PCA） was performed to obtain the principal component spectra （PCS） of the foregoing derivative and raw spectra to reduce the reflectance spectral dimension. Support vector classification （SVC） was employed to discriminate the healthy, empty, and infected panicles, with the front three PCS as the in- dependent variables. The overall accuracy and kappa coefficient were used to assess the classification accuracy of SVC. The overall accuracies of SVC with PCS derived from the raw, first, and second reflectance spectra for the testing dataset were 96.55%, 99.14%, and 96.55%, and the kappa coefficients were 94.81%, 98.71%, and 94.82%, respectively. Our results demonstrated that it is feasible to use visible and near-infrared spectroscopy to discriminate health conditions of rice panicles.

文摘Panicles of an indica rice line TM7-5 were subjected to radiation with 137^Cs gamma rays at 0 （control）, 5, 10, 15 and 20 Gy respectively, and then its anthers were cultured. There were slight differences among the treatments in peak emerging time of callus initiation, from 38 to 44 days after inoculation （DAI） as well as the frequency of callus initiation （2.3-3.5%）. About two thirds calli were induced before 44 DAI, and calli derived beyond 60 DAI lost the regeneration ability. Green plant regeneration frequency was significantly stimulated from two- to three-fold by irradiation of the 1370S gamma rays compared with the control, and the maximum was 22,81% （15 Gy）. The culture ability based on callus initiation and green plantlet regeneration was 0.19% for the control while it was over 0.45% for all the irradiated treatments, and the maximum was 0,59% for 15 Gy treatment. The advantages of panicle irradiation before anther culture and the potential application in rice anther culture, especially for recalcitrant indica rice, were discussed.

文摘Under field conditions, three erect panicle type japonica dee cultivars and three curved panicle type japonica rice cultivars were applied as experimental materials to investigate the differences of protein composition of grains at different positions in panicles between two different panicle types of japonica rice. Accord- ing to the results, the panicle type of japonica rice had no direct correlation with albumin content, globulin content, prolamin content and glutelin content in rice, variations of protein composition of grains at different positions in panicles. There were certain correlations between soluble protein contents at different grain posi- tions in the same panicle and the flowering order of glumous flowers in the panicle. Albumin content, prolamin content and glutelin content in grains on secondary rachis branches of two panicle types （erect and curved） of japonica rice cuhivars were higher than that on primary rachis branches, while globulin content exhibited an opposite trend. Globulin content, prolamin content and glutelin content in grains at different positions demonstrated a descending order of bottom 〉 middle 〉 top, while albumin content exhibited an opposite trend. The interactions between primary and secondary rachis branches and among top, middle and bottom rachis branches significantly affected soluble protein contents.
文摘Fungal endophytes are suggested to manipulate host grass reproduction.Using different grass-endophyte combinations in a four year common garden experiment,we show that endophyte can retain control over the reproductive functions of the host.Plants were collected as seeds from two different environments,meadows and riverbanks.Natural endophyte infection(E+)increased reproductive effort of plants;13 and 15%higher proportion of E+plants produced panicles compared to naturally uninfected(E-)and manipulatively endophyte-infected(ME+)plants,respectively.Meadoworigin E+plants produced also higher number of panicles compared to E-in the last two years,and both meadow-and riverbank-origin ME+plants produced higher number of panicles compared to ME-plants in most of the years.Pseudovivipary was recorded in 5%of the plants each year.Pollen limitation appears not to induce pseudovivipary.Both E+and ME+plants produced higher number of seminiferous panicles compared to E-and ME-plants.The higher proportion of pseudoviviparism in ME+plants compared to E+,Eand ME-plants from meadows suggests specific genotypegenotype cross-talk between endophyte and grass.Pseudovivipary was affected by year and primarily explained by plant reproductive effort since most vigorous plants produced more pseudoviviparous panicles.We propose that endophytes can promote host grass reproduction in a habitatspecific manner and depending on genetic compatibility between partners.However,reproductive behavior depended on maternal habitat and the annual environmental conditions highlighting the importance of long-term experiments to estimate the effects of endophytes on host plant ecology.
文摘High-throughput phenotyping is the bottleneck for advancing field trait characterization and yield improvement in major field crops.Specifically for sorghum(Sorghum bicolor L.),rapid plant-level yield estimation is highly dependent on characterizing the number of grains within a panicle.In this context,the integration of computer vision and artificial intelligence algorithms with traditional field phenotyping can be a critical solution to reduce labor costs and time.Therefore,this study aims to improve sorghum panicle detection and grain number estimation from smartphone-capture images under field conditions.A preharvest benchmark dataset was collected at field scale(2023 season,Kansas,USA),with 648 images of sorghum panicles retrieved via smartphone device,and grain number counted.Each sorghum panicle image was manually labeled,and the images were augmented.Two models were trained using the Detectron2 and Yolov8 frameworks for detection and segmentation,with an average precision of 75%and 89%,respectively.For the grain number,3 models were trained:MCNN(multiscale convolutional neural network),TCNN-Seed(two-column CNN-Seed),and Sorghum-Net(developed in this study).The Sorghum-Net model showed a mean absolute percentage error of 17%,surpassing the other models.Lastly,a simple equation was presented to relate the count from the model(using images from only one side of the panicle)to the field-derived observed number of grains per sorghum panicle.The resulting framework obtained an estimation of grain number with a 17%error.The proposed framework lays the foundation for the development of a more robust application to estimate sorghum yield using images from a smartphone at the plant level.

文摘Branching is a critical aspect of plant architecture that significantly impacts the yield and adaptability of staple cereal crops like rice and wheat.Cereal crops develop tillers during the vegetative stage and panicle or spike branches during the reproductive stage,respectively,both of which are significantly impacted by hormones and genetic factors.Tillering and panicle branching are closely interconnected and exhibit high environmental plasticity.Here,we summarize the recent progress in genetic,hormonal,and environmental factors regulation in the branching of rice and wheat.This review not only provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge on branching mechanisms in rice and wheat,but also explores the prospects for future research aimed at optimizing crop architecture for enhanced productivity.
文摘[Objective] This study aimed to reveal the effects of Aphelenchoides besseyi infection on different rice varieties（lines）.[Method] By field observation and indoor phenotypic investigation,four conventional japonica rice varieties（lines） and japonica rice restorer line R161 under natural onset conditions were observed and analyzed.[Result] After being infected by A.besseyi,different rice varieties（lines）exhibited various symptoms.Specifically,Ning 1707,Ning 1818,Zhendao 88 and Nanjing 9108 had withered leaf tips and exhibited the symptoms of ＂small grains and erect panicles＂;japonica rice restorer line R161 only had withered leaf tips without symptoms of ＂small grains and erect panicles＂,and the withering symptoms occurred in flag leaf tip,whole flag leaf and top second leaf,respectively.After being infected by A.besseyi,all the experimental materials could sprout normally,but their plant height,panicle length,seed-setting rate and 1 000-grain weight were affected to varying degrees.In addition,after being infected by A.besseyi,various symptomatic tissues of R161 exerted different effects on rice yield.Especially,panicles with withered and twisted whole flag leaf were most affected.[Conclusion] This study provided the basis for further exploration of the damages of A.besseyi infection to rice and development of corresponding control measures.

文摘Grain filling is a critical determinant of yield and quality in rice.This study aims to clarify the association between grain photosynthesis and the filling rate of rice varieties with different grain weights,providing a theoretical foundation for optimizing grain-filling processes.Two rice varieties with similar growth duration but different grain weights were selected:a large-grain variety,Lingliangyou 268(L268),and a small-grain variety,Ruiliangyou 1053(R1053).Differences in grain filling,grain photosynthetic rate,and grain chlorophyll content were systematically examined during the filling stage.Results showed significant differences in grain-filling,grain photosynthetic rate,and grain chlorophyll content between large-grain and small-grain rice varieties.The grain photosynthetic rate of L268 was a significantly higher than R1053.L268 also exhibited significantly higher initial grain filling rate,maximum grainfilling rate,and mean grain filling rate compared to R1053.Throughout the grain filling period,L268 showed higher grain chlorophyll content(including chlorophyll a,chlorophyll b,and total chlorophyll)than R1053.The increase in chlorophyll content,particularly total chlorophyll,enhanced the grain photosynthetic rate during the early and middle stages of grain filling significantly.These findings suggested that rice varieties with higher grain weights exhibited stronger panicle photosynthetic capacity due to their higher chlorophyll content.The enhanced grain photosynthetic rate contributed to improved grain filling and increased grain weight.

文摘Rice grain yield is primarily determined by three key agronomic traits:panicle number,grain number per panicle,and grain weight(GW).However,the inherent tradeoffs among these yield components remain a persistent challenge in rice breeding programs.Notably,compared with GW,brown rice weight(BRW)provides a more direct metric associated with actual grain yield potential.In this study,we conducted a two-year replicated genome-wide association study to elucidate the genetic architecture of BRW and identify new loci regulating GW.Among seven consistently detected loci across experimental replicates,four were not co-localized with previously reported genes associated with BRW or GW traits.BRW1.1,one of the four newly identified loci,was found to encode a novel RNA-binding protein.Functional characterization revealed that BRW1.1 acts as a negative regulator of BRW,potentially through modulating mRNA translation processes.Intriguingly,through integrated analysis of mutant phenotypes and haplotype variations,we demonstrated that BRW1.1 mediates the physiological tradeoff between GW and panicle number.This study not only delineates the genetic determinants of BRW but also identifies BRW1.1 as a promising molecular target for breaking the yield component tradeoff in precision rice breeding.

文摘This study aimed to clarify the pathogen composition,biological characteristics,infection patterns,and effective control agents for panicle blight of rice in Heilongjiang Province.Diseased panicles were collected from different rice-growing areas in Heilongjiang Province and subjected to tissue isolation,pathogenicity tests,morphological observation,and molecular identification.The primary pathogens identified were Fusarium graminearum,Alternaria alternata and Nigrospora oryzae.The biological characteristics of these three pathogens were systematically investigated.Pathogenicity assays revealed that F.graminearum exhibited the strongest pathogenicity,followed by A.alternata,while N.oryzae was the weakest.In vitro toxicity tests screened highly effective fungicides:75%trifloxystrobin-tebuconazole showed the best inhibitory effect against F.graminearum(EC50=0.0140μg·mL^(-1));30%tebuconazole-azoxystrobin was the most effective against A.alternata(EC50=0.0060μg·mL^(-1))and N.oryzae(EC50=0.0310μg·mL^(-1)).

文摘Aiming at the problems of the traditional method of assessing distribution of particle size in bench blasting, a support vector machines （SVMs） regression methodology was used to predict the mean particle size （X50） resulting from rock blast fragmentation in various mines based on the statistical learning theory. The data base consisted of blast design parameters, explosive parameters, modulus of elasticity and in-situ block size. The seven input independent variables used for the SVMs model for the prediction of X50 of rock blast fragmentation were the ratio of bench height to drilled burden （H/B）, ratio of spacing to burden （S/B）, ratio of burden to hole diameter （B/D）, ratio of stemming to burden （T/B）, powder factor （Pf）, modulus of elasticity （E） and in-situ block size （XB）. After using the 90 sets of the measured data in various mines and rock formations in the world for training and testing, the model was applied to 12 another blast data for validation of the trained support vector regression （SVR） model. The prediction results of SVR were compared with those of artificial neural network （ANN）, multivariate regression analysis （MVRA） models, conventional Kuznetsov method and the measured X50 values. The proposed method shows promising results and the prediction accuracy of SVMs model is acceptable.
文摘A double haploid (DH) population of rice (Oryza sativa L.) derived from anther culture of ZYQ8/JX17, a typical indica and japonica hybrid, was used for genetic analysis of rice peduncle vascular system and panicle traits. The number of large vascular bundles (LVB), the number of small vascular bundles (SVB) in the peduncle, and the panicle traits including the number of primary rachis branches (PRB), the number of spikelets per panicle (SNP), peduncle top diameter (PTD), and panicle length (PL) were investigated in the parents and DH lines. The quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for each trait were analyzed based on the constructed molecular linkage map of this population. Three QTLs for LVB (qLVB_1, qLVB_6 and qLVB_7) were detected on chromosomes 1, 6, and 7, respectively. Two putative QTLs for SVB (qSVB_4 and qSVB_6) were mapped on chromosomes 4 and 6 respectively. Four QTLs (qPRB_4a, qPRB_4b, qPRB_6 and qPRB_7) on chromosomes 4, 6, and 7, respectively, were detected for PRB. Three QTLs (qSPN_4a, qSPN_4b and qSPN_6) were identified on chromosomes 4 and 6, respectively, which could significantly affect SPN. Five QTLs for PTD (qPTD_2, qPTD_5, qPTD_6, qPTD_8 and qPTD_12) were identified on chromosomes 2, 5, 6, 8, and 12, respectively. Three QTLs for PL (qPL_4, qPL_6 and qPL_8) were detected on chromosomes 4, 6, and 8, respectively. Clustering of QTLs, such as qLVB_6, qSVB_6, qSNP_6, qPTD_6, and qPL_6 detected in the interval G122_G1314b on chromosome 6, was found. These results suggest that some QTLs for peduncle vascular bundle system are possibly responsible for the panicle traits.

文摘This study aimed to investigate the combined effects of nitrogen level （high and ordinary） and high temperature stress （37 ℃, 4 d） at the late panicle ini- tiation stage on yield, SPAD value and soluble sugar content of Ganxin 203, an early rice cultivar. The results showed that under both high and ordinary nitrogen levels, high temperature stress reduced the seed-setting rate, yield per stem, SPAD value and soluble sugar content of Ganxin 203; under both high and ordinary tem- peratures, high nitrogen level increased the seed-setting rate, yield per stem and soluble sugar content of Ganxin 203; the seed-setting rate, yield per stem and yield per plant of Ganxin 203 under high temperature and high nitrogen level were higher than those under high temperature and ordinary nitrogen level. It suggests that ap- propriate high nitrogen level contributes to weakening the negative effects of high temperature stress on rice yield.

文摘[Objective] The relationship between grain yield and yield components was investigated in .different rice cultivars at the target yield of 10.5-11.25 t/hm2, to provide theoretical basis for cultivation of high-yield rice. [Method] The yield performance of various super rice and non-super rice cultivars that were cultivated in large area in Sichuan Chengdu was studied under high-yielding cultivation conditions from 2006 to 2008. [Result] The rice yield was closely correlated with the productive panicle number, grain number per panicle, seed setting rate and 1 000-grain weight. The four yield components showed different influences on the yield of different rice culti- vars. By adopting the high yielding cultivation technology （that the seedlings were planted in a triangle shape） at the target yield of 10.5-11.25 t/hm~, we found that the rice yield of super rice cultivars was closely correlated with productive panicle number and 1 000-grain weight, negatively correlated with grain number per panicle, and significantly negatively correlated with seed setting rate; the grain yield of non- super rice cultivars was negatively correlated with grain number per panicle and seed setting rate, and significantly negatively correlated with the productive panicle number and 1 000-grain weight. [Conclusion] The results revealed the relationship between grain yield and yield components in different rice cultivars, which provided references for developing reasonable cultivation measures and thus to improve the yield of super rice in large acreage.

文摘Two hundred and forty recombinant inbred lines （RIL） derived from a cross TD70/Kasalath and its linkage map including 141 SSR markers were used to map QTLs controlling panicle length （PL）, total seeds per panicle （TSP） and grain density （GD） in 2010 and 2011. The results showed that a total of 23 QTLs controlling three panicle traits were detected on chromosomes 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 10, respec- tively, including 5 QTLs controlling PL, 8 QTLs controlling TSP, 10 QTLs controlling GD, with the LOD value ranging between 2.5-9.3, and the QTLs explained the ob- served phenotypic by 4.0%-20.8%. The marker interval RM5699-RM424 on chro- mosome 2, RM489-RM1278 on chromosome 3, RM3367-RM1018 on chromosome 4, RM3343-RM412 on chromosome 6 were common marker intervals for TSP and GD; six QTLs （qPL3, qTSP4, qTSP6-2, qTSP7, qGD3-2 and qGDT） were detected in two years. Among these QTLs, the qPL3, qTSP6-2, qGD3-2 and qGD7 were major QTLs. All QTLs for PL mapped in the present study had been mapped QTLs previously by other research groups, 16 QTLs controlling TSP and GD were new ones which contributed the observed phenotypic variance range by 4%-9.5%. These results laid a founda^ion for further fine positioning or cloning these QTLs.

文摘[Objective] The objective of this paper was to screen out suitable high- yielding cultivars and to understand the current yield performance of wheat in Anhui Province. In addition, the influencing factors on wheat yield were discussed to es- tablish suitable cultural practice. [Method] Main popularized cultivars and some new strains of wheat were selected as matedals and planted in the Funan Farm and Longkang Farm in 2009-2011. The yield stability and influencing factors on yield of wheat were discussed. [Resalt] In Anhui Province, the weather had a great influence on wheat yield, resulting in significant differences in wheat yield among different years. Drought was the main factor restricting the yield. [Conclusion] （1） It was easy to achieve high yield when the three influencing factors on wheat yield were coordi- nated. （2） The occurred drought disaster in 20tl was the main factor limiting the 1 000- grain weight and final yield of wheat. （3） Different cultivars showed different yield stabilities. Among the test wheat cultivars, two cultivars （Wanke 06290 and Yannong 19） showed good yield stability, while Xinfumai No.1 showed higher yield. （4） The three influencing factors played different roles in different cultivars. In the promotion process, the characteristics of wheat cultivars should be fully understood. To achieve high yield, integrating cultural practices is a necessity.
