Effect of Water and Nitrogen Stresses on Correlation among Winter Wheat Organs
Abstract
Correlation among root, stem, leaf and grain is the basis for the
establishment of photosynthate partitioning model, and is of great
significance for rational regulation of plant morphology and population
structure and improvement of crop economic production. The paper is
based on experiment results of dry mater weight of root, stem, leaf, and
grain of winter wheat of 5 treatments with different water and
fertilizer level, and experiment results of soil moisture and soil
nitrogen
(NH4 + -N和NO3 −+N).
The experiment was carried out in the Farmland Water Cycling Experiment
Station of Tianjin Agricultural University in 2008-2009. The
relationships between leaf to root ratio, stem to leaf ratio, and grain
to stem ratio with root nitrogen uptake was established, respectively.
The results indicted that the leaf to root ratio, and stem to leaf ratio
was more sensitive to water and nitrogen stresses than that of grain to
stem ratio. Both the leaf to root ratio and stem to leaf ratio increased
with the root nitrogen uptake, and had positive correlations with root
nitrogen uptake with the correlation coefficients above 0.91. The
correlation between grain to stem ratio and root nitrogen uptake was not
significant within the given range of water and nitrogen stresses. The
ratio of grain to stem under water and nitrogen stresses was
approximately equal to that without water and nitrogen stresses.
