[ Meth- od] Using soft and hard wheat varieties as experimental materials, changes of Rubisco （ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase） degradation in flag leav- es with different quality types during grain fillLing stage were investigated. [ Result] Chlorophyll content and Rubisco content were both gradually reduced in flag leaves of wheat cultivars with different quality types during grain filling stage. Changes of Rubisco content were insignificant at early grain firing stage, but Rubisco content in flag leaves of soft wheat was higher than that of hard wheat at mid-late grain filling stage. Degradation products of Rubisco large subunits with molecular weight of 51 kD could be detected in flag leaves of various wheat cultivars. Rubisco in flag leaves of hard wheat Zheng 9023 was significantly earlier degraded com- pared with Yangnmi 15, indicating that leaf senescence in hard wheat was earlier than soft wheat, which suggested that the protein accumulation in wheat grains may be related with Rubisco degradation in flag leaves after anthesis. [ Conclusion] This study implied the foundation of soft wheat breeding and optimization of cultiva- tion and wheat management in the field.展开更多
