Possible associations of soluble carbohydrates with chemical desiccation and drought resistance in winter wheatCerono, Julio Cesar 08 July 1997 (has links)
Drought is a major limiting abiotic stress influencing wheat production in
many parts of the world. The erratic nature of water deficits makes breeding
and selection for drought resistance deficient. In environments with late
season drought stress, yield losses are usually associated with kernel abortion
or reduction in kernel growth. Remobilization of soluble carbohydrates from
the stem has been associated with drought resistance. The objectives of this
investigation were i) to asses the role of soluble carbohydrates in the
determination of drought resistance, ii) their association with productivity, and
iii) to evaluate a rapid technique to identify genotypes with higher capacity of
soluble carbohydrate remobilization. Nine winter wheat cultivars differing in
their response to drought stress were grown under irrigated and nonirrigated
conditions during the grain filling period at the Sherman Branch Experiment
Station, Moro. The cultivars were also grown at the Hyslop Crop Science Laboratory, where plots were chemically desiccated with Sodium Chlorate or
left untreated. All control and treated plots were evaluated for soluble
carbohydrates in two vegetative fractions, stem plus sheath and leaf blades. These values were correlated with the relative reductions in kernel weight and yield observed on the treated plots.
Differences among cultivars were observed for the concentration of soluble carbohydrates in the stem and leaf fractions. Time elapsed from anthesis was a major determinant of the variation in carbohydrates concentration observed during grain filling. Stem soluble carbohydrates accumulated to a much greater extent than leaf soluble carbohydrates. The concentration of stem carbohydrates was not related with the reductions caused by chemical desiccation or drought stress. However, potential contributions from stem reserves (ratio between potential spike weight and stem reserves) were marginally associated with drought resistance. Stem soluble carbohydrates were positively associated with productivity, suggesting that stems are not competitive sinks, but temporary storage organs of excess of assimilates. Under chemical desiccation most of the soluble carbohydrates were lost in respiration, and the reductions in kernel weight and yield observed were not correlated with those observed under drought. It was concluded that the technique did not reasonably simulated drought in terms of yield reductions nor carbohydrate remobilization. / Graduation date: 1998

HERITABILITY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF DROUGHT TOLERANCE IN SORGHUM (SORGHUM BICOLOR (L.) MOENCH).AGBARY, ABDUL WALLY. January 1985 (has links)
Physiological responses of 12 sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) genotypes previously classified as drought resistant and susceptible upon grain yield basis were evaluated under dry and wet moisture treatments at Tucson, Arizona in 1983. In addition, the relationship of these physiological responses and their heritability estimates were also determined. Apparent photosynthesis, transpiration, diffusive resistance, temperature differentials, and leaf temperature were measured under field conditions at three intervals from planting date: 48, 62, and 77 days, respectively. Stomatal density and epicuticular wax content were determined toward the end of the season when full canopy development was reached. Stress significantly affected all characteristics measured for each genotype by a reduction in apparent photosynthesis rates, transpiration, and temperature differentials, and an increase in diffusive resistance, leaf temperature and stomatal density. The wax content response varied among genotypes irrespective of the dry and wet moisture treatments. Except for the wax content and stomatal density, all the other parameters demonstrated a high significant correlation with photosynthesis at .001 level; nevertheless, greater values were observed in the stress treatment. Analysis of variance failed to detect significant differences among the 12 germplasm sources, except for the stomatal density. Multiple regression analysis showed that leaf diffusive resistance was the first variable incorporated for photosynthesis prediction in both the dry and wet treatments. The offspring and mid-parent regression for each characteristic under both treatments provided heritability estimates (h('2) (+OR-) SE), indicating higher heritability values under the dry treatment.

Evaluation and selection of 20 sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] genotypes for drought toleranceMalala, Thifhindulwi Jeremiah 22 October 2010 (has links)
A field study was conducted at ARC - Grain Crops Institute, Potchefstroom Experimental Farm and at Taung Crop Production Center during 2006/07 summer growing season. Twenty sorghum genotypes were planted in two separate blocks, under full irrigation and rain fed conditions with plot size of 4 rows x 5 m x 0.9 m giving a density of 55 555 plants ha-1. The experiment was laid out in a randomised complete block design replicated three times. The irrigated block received scheduled irrigation from planting until maturity, while the rain fed block received irrigation prior to germination only. Agronomic traits measured were plant height, stem diameter, biomass, flowering date, panicle exertion, panicle length, leaf area, grain yield, and thousand seed mass at Potchefstroom and Taung experiments. Drought susceptibility index (DSI) was quantified using the formula: DSI = [1 - (Ydi/ Ypi)]/ [1 - (YD/YP)] and %yield reduction (%YR) was calculated using the formula: %YR = (Ypi –Ydi)/ Ypi x 100. Significant variations among genotypes with regard to grain yield (GYLD), plant height (PH), panicle length (PL), biomass (BM), stem diameter (SD), panicle exertion (PEx), and 1000 seed mass (TSM) were observed at Potchefstroom under rain fed conditions, while under irrigated conditions significant variations were only observed for GYLD, PH, PL, BM, days to 50% flowering (DF), SD, leaf area (LA), PEx and TSM. At Potchefstroom genotypes varied significantly with regard to PH, PL, BM, DF, SD, LA, PEx and TSM under rain fed conditions, while under irrigated conditions genotypes varied with all traits measured with exception of harvest index (HI) and relative water content (RWC). At Potchefstroom, soil water deficits significantly affected GYLD, PH, HI, PEx and RWC, while at Potchefstroom soil water deficits significantly affected GYLD, PH, SD, LA, PEx, TSM and RWC. Genotypes varied with their level of resistance/ susceptibility to soil water deficits at both Potchefstroom and Taung. Some remarkable correlations among traits measured were observed under rain fed and irrigated conditions and across the treatments at both Potchefstroom and Taung. At Potchefstroom, significant correlation was only observed between drought susceptibility index (DSI) and PH under rain fed conditions, while at Potchefstroom negative and significant correlation was only observed between DSI and GYLD under rain fed conditions. At Potchefstroom, GYLD under rain fed significantly related to GYLD under irrigated conditions and across the treatments. However, GYLD under irrigated conditions significantly related to GYLD across the treatments. At Potchefstroom, GYLD under rain fed conditions significantly correlated with GYLD across soil water regimes, while GYLD under irrigated conditions significantly correlated with GYLD across the treatments. Genotypes that exhibited the combination of high yield potential and resistant traits were recommended. Genotypes that exhibited high resistant traits with low yield potential were recommended for breeders to incorporate those traits into susceptible genotypes with high yield potential. / Dissertation (MInstAgrar)--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Plant Production and Soil Science / unrestricted
