Grain Filling Characteristics of Giant Embryo Rice Mutant

[Objective] The aim was to explore the relevance between decreased 1 000-grain weight and grain-filling characteristics of rice giant embryo mutant.[Method] Richards equation was used to describe grain filling processes of giant embryo mutant MH-ge1 and its corresponding wild type so as to analyze the parameters of grain-filling characteristics of materials.[Result] The initial filling power of mutant MH-ge1 was higher than the wild type MH86,however,the maximum filling rate,the mean filling rate and the final increment of mutant MH-ge1 was lower than those of MH86.[Conclusion] The grain-filling characteristics of mutant MH-ge1 were poorer than the wild type MH86,thus resulting in the decrease of the grain weight of the giant embryo rice.

Analysis on Phenotypic, Physiological and Genetic Characteristics of Large Grain Rice Line lg1

In this study, phenotypic, physiological and genetic characteristics of large grain rice line Igl were investigated. The results showed that Igl exhibited tall plants, long spikes and large grains, with a 1 000-grain weight of 47.58 g. In addition, Igl had strong photosynthetic capacity, but the stomatal conductance-and intercellular CO2 concentration were 32.1% and 3.94% lower compared with 9311, respectively. Igl displayed synchronous grain filling, and there were no significant differences between the contribution rates of superior and inferior grains at the early, middle and late grain-filling stages, but the grain-filling duration of superior grains was longer than that of inferior grains. The genetic analysis indicated that grain length, grain width, length-width ratio, grain thickness and 1 000-grain weight of F2 population obeyed normal distribution, which were quantitative trait loci controlled by multiple genes. The correlation analysis showed that there was an extremely significant positive correlation between grain width and grain length; grain length, grain width and grain thickness exhibited extremely significant positive correlations with 1 000-grain weight and extremely significant negative correlations with length-width ratio, it might be concluded that grain width, grain length, length-width ratio, grain thickness and 1 000- grain weight were controlled by one or more common QTLs. These results provided theoretic basis for the application of large grain rice line Igl in super high-yielding rice breeding.

Determining the Optimum Inflow Rates for Micro-flood Irrigation on the Tukulu Soil

The performance of micro flood irrigation （MFI） under different inflow rates was evaluated on 90 m closed ended furrows in the South African Tukulu soil. A single irrigation was used to characterise the surface and subsurface soil water distribution from the 20, 40, 80 and 160 L/min inflow rates treatments. Neutron access tubes were installed to a depth of 1 m at every 10 m distance interval starting at 5 m from the furrow inlet. Soil water content measurements were taken using the WaterMan neutron water meter. The HYDRUS-2D software was also used to provide insight on irrigated furrows soil water content and subsurface water distribution. The 20 L/min produced a stream flow that could advance up to the 60 m furrow distance. The stream flow from the rest of the inflow rates were able to reach the furrow end with the 180 L/min recording the fastest advance time of 23 min. The 20 L/min and 40 L/min had recession period of less than 7 min while the 80 L/rain and 160 L/min lasted more than an hour. Distribution uniformity （DU） at longer furrow distances was the highest from the 80 L/min and 160 L/min with the 20 L/min and 40 L/min recorded similar performances at shorter distances. The 40 L/rain was one of the smaller inflow rates that recorded the highest DU of 0.96 for the generated average infiltrated depth of the 30 m long furrow and therefore should be adopted for furrow distances of less than 60 m on the Tukulu soil.

Estimation of the Economic Value of Irrigation Water in Jordan

Insight into the different values of water is essential to support rational decision making about policies, management and investments in the water sector. The main objective of this paper is to estimate an economic value of irrigation water in Jordan by choosing appropriate methodology fit with available data. The Residual Imputation Method （RIM） is used to determine the average economic value of irrigation water used in agriculture across crops. The results showed that the weighted average of water value used in field crops is JD 0.44 m＂3 and JD 1.23 m3 for vegetable crops and JD 0.23 m3 for fruit trees. The overall weighted average water value in irrigation is estimated with JD 0.51 m＂3. With regard to individual crops, cucumbers had the highest water values with about JD 6.05 m3, followed by string beans with JD 2.64 m3, and sweet pepper with JD 2.54 m3. The lowest returns per m3 were provided by squash, radish and hot pepper. For fruit tress banana has the highest water value JD 0.79 m3 and olive tress has the lowest with only JD 0.069 m3. The current practice of some banana producers is economically rational by installing Reverse Osmosis unit to irrigate banana, since water value is twice the desalination costs of one cubic meter. The estimated values represent the maximum price that farmers might be willing to pay for water under the current market conditions. Water subsidy distorts farmers＇ perception of water as a scarce and thus valuable resource. Low water prices are thus likely to engender excessive use. It is necessary to allow water prices to recover the real cost of water supply and to ensure financial sustainability of water utilities.
