Effects of Mechanical Sowing and Transplanting on Characteristics of Dry Matter Production in Middle-season Hybrid Rice

To clarify the effects of mechanical sowing and transplanting on dry mat- ter production of middle-season hybrid rice, a two-factor split plot design was used to study the effects of different sowing and transplanting methods and their interac- tion with the seedling number per hill or seeding time on dry matter accumulation, distribution and transformation of F You 498, a middle-season hybrid rice variety, under field conditions in 2012 and 2013. The results showed that there was a marked effect of the sowing and transplanting methods and their interaction with the seedling number per hill or seeding time on dry matter accumulation, distribution and transformation. The total population dry matter accumulation of the treatments with mechanical direct seeding （MDS） and machine-based transplanting （MT） was lower than that of the treatment with traditional manual transplanting （TMT）. How- ever, MDS had higher dry matter accumulation and accumulating rate in the joint- ing-earing stage,and maintained higher stem-sheath exportation, export rate and transformation than MT and TMT; MT had higher dry matter accumulation and ac- cumulating rate in the heading-maturity period than MDS and TMT. Moreover, the treatments with low seedling number per hill or early seeding enhanced the assimi- lation of dry matter after heading,the ratio of dry matter accumulation after earing to biomass yield and the contribution rate of dry matter accumulation after earing, and a reasonable early sowing was favorable to increase the harvest index of middle- season hybrid rice under mechanical sowing and transplanting conditions.

Source-Sink and Grain-Filling Characteristics of Two-Line Hybrid Rice Yangliangyou 6

With two-line hybrid rice Yangliangyou 6 （YLY6） and Liangyoupeijiu （LYPJ） and three-line hybrid rice Shanyou 63 （SY63） as materials, the source, sink and flow characteristics in association with grain filling were investigated. The seed-setting rate, grain filling degree and grain yield of YLY6 and SY63 were significantly higher than those of LYPJ. The export and transformation percentages of the matter in culms and sheaths of YLY6 and SY63 were significantly higher than those of LYPJ. Activities of sucrose synthase, adenosine diphosphoglucose pyrophosphorylase, starch synthase and starch branching enzyme in grains were higher for YLY6 and SY63 than for LYPJ, and were very significantly correlated with maximum grain filling rate, mean grain filling rate, grain filling degree and grain weight. The spikelet number, grain yield and total sink load per area of vascular bundle and phloem of YLY6 and SY63 were significantly smaller than those of LYPJ, and the greater the load, the lower seed-setting rate and the poorer grain filling. The transportation rate per area phloem of YLY6 was greater than that of LYPJ or SY63. The results suggest that YLY6 possesses strong source, great sink activity and efficient flow, which lay a physiological base for its high seed-setting rate and good grain filling.

Machine Vision Analysis of Characteristics and Image Information Base Construction for Hybrid Rice Seed

Incompletely closed glumes, germination on panicle and disease are three important factors causing poor seed quality of hybrid rice. To determine how many and which categories should be classified to meet the demand for seed in rice production, the effects of various degrees of incompletely closed glumes, germination on panicle and disease on germination percentage at the harvest and after storage for six months were studied by standard germination percentage test. Six categories of seeds with germ (germinated seeds), severe disease, incompletely closed glumes, spot disease, fine fissure and normal seeds were inspected and then treated separately. Images of the five hybrid rice seed (Jinyou 402, Shanyou 10, Zhongyou 27, Jiayou 99 and Ⅱ you 3207) were acquired with a self-developed machine vision system. Each image could be processed to get the feature values of seed region such as length, width, ratio of length to width, area, solidity and hue. Then all the images of normal seeds were calculated to draw the feature value ranges of each hybrid rice variety. Finally, an image information base that stores typical images and related feature values of each variety was established. This image information base can help us to identify the classification limit of characteristics, and provide the reference of the threshold selection. The management of large numbers of pictures and the addition of new varieties have been supported. The research laid a foundation for extracting image features of hybrid rice seed, which is a key approach to future quality inspection with machine vision.

Physiological and Biochemical Characteristics in Flag Leaves of the C Liangyou Series of Hybrid Rice Combinations at Late Growth Stages

The contents of chlorophyll, soluble sugars, soluble proteins and thiobarbitudc acid reaction substance （TBARS）, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, net photosynthetic rate as well as the activities of superoxide dismutase （SOD） and peroxidase （POD） of flag leaves at the late growth stages were studied by using C Liangyou series of hybrid rice combinitions as material and Shanyou 63 as control. The C Liangyou series of hybrid rice combinations used in the experiment included C Liangyou 396, C Liangyou 87, C Liangyou 755 and C Liangyou 34, which all used C815S as male sterile line. The contents of chlorophyll, soluble sugars and soluble proteins in flag leaves of the C Liangyou series combinations at the late growth stages were higher than those of the control, whereas the TBARS content was lower than that of the control. The activities of SOD and POD were significantly higher than those of the control on the 7th day after heading, and then decreased slowly. ~bps, value and qp value of flag leaves decreased at the late growth stages, and these two parameters in flag leaves of the C Liangyou series combinations were higher than those of the control, while the qN value increased at the late growth stages and was lower than that of the control. The net photosynthetic rate of flag leaves at the late growth stage was higher compared with the control. These results suggest that slow senescence and strong photosynthetic capability in flag leaves at the late growth stages are the physiological basis of the C Liangyou series combinations.

Photosynthetic Characteristics and Heterosis in Transgenic Hybrid Rice with Maize Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase (pepc) Gene

Three F3 hybrids derived from the sterile rice lines Gang 46A, 776A and 2480A and the improved restorer line Shuhui 881 containing maize phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase （pepc） gene were used to analyze the effect of pepc gene on the heterosis and photosynthetic characteristics, while the F3 obtained by crossing Shuhui 881 with the above three sterile lines served as controls. The dynamics of photosynthetic characteristics in leaves of three F1 with pepc gene and their controls were determined at the initial-tillering, maxium-tillering, elongation, initial-heading, heading, maturity stages, and other different times after flag leaf fully expanded. The PEPCase activities of the three F1 with pepc gene increased significantly as compared with control plants during the whole developmental stages. Moreover, the net photosynthesis rate （Pn） also increased to certain extent. The data showed that PEPCase activity was significantly correlated to Pn with a correlation coefficient of 0.6081. The photosynthetic indexes of the three F1 with pepc gene were obviously superior to respective controls in apparent quantum efficiency, light compensation point and carboxylation efficiency, while the CO2 compensation point was lower than that of corresponding control. The Pn of the three F1 with pepc gene at light saturation point and CO2 saturation point was also higher than that of control plants. in addition, the three F1 with pepc gene had an average increase of 37.10% in grain yields per plant in comparison with control plants. The results indicated that the photosynthetic characteristics of hybrid rice containing pepc gene had been improved to some extent due to the introduction of pepc gene.

Breeding and Characteristics of a High-quality Variety of Hybrid Rice Mianyou 281

Dry matter production and panicle characteristics of high yield and good taste indica hybrid rice varieties

Indica hybrid rice(Oryza sativa) production aims to achieve two crucial targets: high yield and good taste. This study selected three types of indica hybrid rice according to grain yield and taste value, including high yield and good taste(HYGT), low yield and good taste(LYGT), and high yield and poor taste(HYPT), to analyze yield components,corresponding growth characteristics, and rice taste quality. When values were averaged across varieties and years,there were almost no differences in taste value between HYGT and LYGT;HYGT showed a significant increase in yield,owing to a higher number of panicles and spikelets per panicle, with a respective increment of 16.2 and 20.6%. The higher grain yield of HYGT compared with LYGT was attributed to three key factors: a higher leaf area index(LAI) during heading, a higher ratio of grain to leaf, and a higher biomass accumulation at maturity. HYGT and HYPT achieved similar high yields;however, HYGT had more panicle numbers and lower grain weight. In addition, HYGT showed a significantly higher taste value than HYPT, attributed to its significantly lower protein and amylose contents, with reductions of 8.8and 15.7%, respectively. Lower protein and amylose contents might be caused by a proper matter translocation from vegetative organs to panicle. This study suggested that reasonable panicle characteristics and translocation efficiency from vegetative organs to panicle during heading to maturity are the key factors in balancing yield and rice taste quality.These results will provide valuable insights for rice breeders to improve the grain yield and quality of indica hybrid rice.

Thoughts and Practice on Some Problems about Research and Application of Two-Line Hybrid Rice

The main problems about research and application of two-line hybrid rice were reviewed, including the confusing nomenclature and male sterile lines classification, the unclear characteristics of photoperiod and temperature responses and the unsuitable site selection for male sterile line and hybrid dce seed production. In order to efficiently and accurately use dual-purpose genic male sterile lines, four types, including PTGMS （photo-thermo-sensitive genic male sterile rice）, TGMS （thermo-sensitive genic male sterile rice）, reverse PTGMS and reverse TGMS, were proposed. A new idea for explaining the mechanism of sterility in dual-purpose hybrid rice was proposed. The transition from sterile to fertile was involved in the cooperative regulation of major-effect sterile genes and photoperiod and/or temperature sensitive ones. The minor-effect genes with accumulative effect on sterility were important factors that affected the critical temperature of sterility transfer. In order to make better use of dual-purpose lines, the characterization of responses to photoperiod and temperature of PTGMS should be made and the identification method for the characterization of photoperiod and temperature responses of PTGMS should also be put forward. The optimal ecological site for seed production could be determined according to the historical climate data and the requirements for the meteorological conditions during the different periods of seed production.

Breeding of Qianhui 5819 and Three-line Midseason Indica Hybrid Rice Anyou 5819 with High Yield, Early Maturity and Resistance to Blast

Rice restorer Qianhui 5819 bred by Guizhou Institute of Crop Germplasm Resources and cytoplasm male sterile（CMS） line Anfeng A bred by Rice Research Institute, Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences were used to develop three-line mid-season indica hybrid rice Anyou 5819. Anyou 5819 was examined and approved by Guizhou Crop Variety Approval Committee in June 2014（No.2014013 validated in Guizhou）. The average yield of the combination in Guizhou regional test of hybrid rice in 2012 and 2013 were 8 839.05 kg/hm^2 and 9 693.90 kg/hm^2, respectively. The yields increased 8.66% and 8.80% respectively compared with the control Xiangzaoyou 2017. The yields of 15 points among 16 points during the two years were increased. In addition the average yield in Guizhou production test of early-maturing hybrid rice in 2013 was 8 772.15 kg/hm^2. It increased 2.31% compared with the control Xiangzaoyou 2017. In General, Anyou 5819 has high yield,disease resistance, good quality and moderate growth period, which is suitable for the rice cropping area with middle and high altitude in Guizhou.

Relationships of Panicle Type Index with Subspecies Characteristics and Yield Traits in Filial Generation of Crosses between Indica and Japonica Rice

Two recombinant inbred line （RIL） populations, one derived from a cross between Zhongyouzao 8 （indica） and Toyonishiki （japonica） and the other from a cross between Qishanzhan （indica） and Akihikari （japonica）, were grown in Liaoning and Sichuan Provinces, China, to study the panicle type index （PTI, the ratio of a number of node position on panicle axis where the secondary branch with the most numerous secondary branch grains is located to the number of primary branches） and its relationships with subspecies characteristics and yield traits. With continuous distribution of PTI and numerous of lines with different PTIs in the progenies, indica-japonica hybridization could be a method for breeding cultivars with ideal panicle type. PTI was significantly influenced by environments, with a significant decrease from Liaoning to Sichuan A significantly negative correlation was found between PTI and most of subspecies characteristics. PTI varied remarkably with different subspecies types. As a whole, it showed a trend of indica （H）〉indicalinous （H＇）〉japonicalinous （K＇）〉japonica （K） However, it is not appropriate to regard PTI as a parameter for subspecies classification in rice because it was recombined in the filial generations of cross between indica and japonica rice. The negative correlations were found between PTI and most of panicle characteristics, as well as yield-related traits. Based on PTI, most of lines from the two populations were middle dominant panicle type （the number of grains on the secondary branch is numerous in middle position of the panicle） and lower dominant panicle type （the number of grains on the secondary branch is numerous in lower position of the panicle and becomes less towards the top of panicle） with significant yield advantages.

冬水田轻简化栽培杂交稻蓄留再生稻产量形成特点

【目的】轻简化栽培水稻因具有良好的社会、经济和环境效益而受到了广泛的关注。探明再生稻系统下轻简化栽培对杂交稻头季、再生季产量形成特点的影响,可为再生稻轻简化栽培提供理论依据。【方法】于2021-2022年在四川省典型再生稻区泸州进行大田试验,以7个杂交稻(益两优94、德优6699、泰优1060、蓉7优680、乐3优2275、德优727、锦丰优727)和1个常规稻(金农丝苗)为材料,研究两种栽培方式(免耕直播、免耕抛秧)对杂交稻头季、再生季产量形成特点的影响。【结果】栽培方式和品种基因型对杂交稻头季、再生季及两季总产量影响显著。与免耕抛秧相比,免耕直播头季、再生季及两季总产量分别增加了3.52%~7.37%、18.94%~47.37%、7.04%~14.93%,免耕直播杂交稻蓄留再生稻的增产优势主要表现在有效穗数、结实率、干物质积累量和收获指数上。不同基因型杂交稻头季产量以泰优1060、锦丰优727较高,再生季产量及两季总产量则以泰优1060最高。从2年平均值来看,高产杂交稻(德优6699、泰优1060、德优727、锦丰优727)头季、再生季以及两季总产量分别为8.80、2.53、11.33t/hm^(2),较中低产杂交稻(益两优94、蓉7蓉680、乐3优2275)分别增加了13.54%、6.03%、11.76%;比高产常规稻(金农丝苗)分别增加了9.97%、21.87%、12.41%。与高产常规稻相比,中低产杂交稻头季产量平均降低了3.15%,但其再生季及两季总产量则分别平均增加了14.94%、0.58%。从产量构成来看,高产杂交稻头季、再生季的有效穗数、千粒重均高于高产常规稻。从干物质生产来看,与高产常规稻相比,高产杂交稻头季和再生季成熟期的干物质量、收获指数分别平均增加3.82%和11.16%、5.45%和5.70%。中低产杂交稻头季成熟期干物质积累量低于高产常规稻是其减产的主要原因。【结论】再生稻系统下免耕直播相对于免耕抛栽有明显的增产优势,是其源库协调的一种良好响应。综合考虑再生季产量与两季总产量,四川省冬水田区再生稻轻简化高产栽培适宜选用分蘖能力强、千粒重大的杂交稻品种。

杂交粳稻茎秆力学性状与理化特征对抗倒伏能力的影响

倒伏严重影响着水稻的产量和品质,为探究田间自然栽培条件下杂交粳稻茎秆力学性状与理化特征对抗倒伏能力的影响,研究选取北方地区生产上主要推广的弯曲穗型杂交粳稻品种辽优2006(LY2006)、辽优5218(LY5218)、辽优5273(LY5273)为供试对象,易倒伏常规粳稻品种农林313(NL313(CK))为对照,测量其农艺性状和微观组织构成等理化指标,并通过弯曲试验及拉伸试验,测定其茎秆最大抗折力、断裂弯矩、抗弯截面系数、单茎自重质量矩、弯曲强度、杨氏弹性模量、惯性矩等力学指标,并研究测量的理化指标及力学指标与倒伏指数之间的相关关系。结果表明:供试对象的倒伏指数和对照之间存在极显著差异(P<0.01),供试对象抗倒伏性显著高于对照。供试对象和对照在株高、基部节间长度、组织构成等理化指标及力学指标间均存在极显著差异(P<0.01),供试对象的株高、单穗鲜质量均大于对照,因此,在相同的栽培条件下,并不是株高越矮、穗越轻,抗倒伏能力就越强。缩短基部节间长度、延长叶鞘长度、提高组织厚度及维管束面积、增加纤维素、木质素及钾元素含量等均能有效提升水稻植株的抗倒伏能力。研究还发现,水稻植株的抗倒伏能力与其茎秆最大抗折力、断裂弯矩、抗弯截面系数、弯曲强度、杨氏弹性模量之间存在极显著正相关(P<0.01),与单茎自重质量矩、惯性矩之间存在极显著负相关(P<0.01),选取其作为水稻植株抗倒伏能力的参考指标是可行的。研究结果可为北方杂交粳稻抗倒伏品种选育、改良及抗倒伏农艺性状调控提供综合的数据支持和理论支撑。

稻鱼共作对不同留茬高度再生稻生长及产量的影响

【目的】探究华南双季稻区稻鱼共作对不同留茬高度再生稻生长及产量的影响,为再生稻-鱼共作系统的水稻栽培及茬口管理提供科学依据。【方法】以‘野香优油丝’为供试再生稻品种,通过设置稻作模式(水稻单作和稻鱼共作)与再生稻的头季稻留茬高度(留茬高10和30 cm)双因素田间试验,探究稻鱼共作对头季稻不同留茬高度的再生季水稻的生长特性及产量构成因素的影响。【结果】高留茬处理下稻鱼共作的再生季水稻产量显著高于水稻单作,稻作模式和头季稻留茬高度对再生季水稻产量具有显著的交互作用影响。稻鱼共作条件下再生季水稻有效穗数和结实率较水稻单作分别显著提高了18.2%和53.2%,但穗粒数显著降低了17.9%,表明稻鱼共作通过提高再生季水稻群体有效穗数和结实率来弥补其穗粒数的不足,从而提高再生季水稻的产量。头季稻收获的留茬高度显著影响再生季水稻齐穗期的叶片氮含量。头季稻成熟期根的玉米素核苷含量与成熟期叶片氮含量存在显著的正相关性,表明提高头季稻成熟期叶片氮含量可能有利于增加其根部玉米素核苷含量,从而间接促进再生季水稻腋芽的萌发。【结论】在本试验条件下,华南双季稻区若发展再生稻单作生产,头季稻收割时宜采取低留茬(10 cm)处理,若采取再生稻-鱼共作生产,头季稻收割时宜采取高留茬(30 cm)处理,这样有利于促进后续再生季水稻的生长和产量提高。
