Photosynthetic efficiency, temperature induction response, carbon isotope discrimination correlate with expression profiling in Indian wheat cultivars.

ABSTRACT: In the backdrop of global warming and increase in temperatures, wheat productivity worldwide would be limited. This study was therefore undertaken to analyze the heat stress response in 12 different cultivars of Indian wheat. Three developmental stages were used i.e. germination stage, seedling stage and anthesis stage, to characterize thermotolerant and thermosusceptible cultivars on the basis of different physiological and molecular parameters. Lethal temperature stress on germinating seeds showed a clear reduction in percentage germination. At the seedling stage, higher decrease in Fv/Fm, total chlorophyll content, membrane injury and carbon isotope discrimination was observed in thermosusceptible cultivars. Results similar to seedling stage were obtained at anthesis stage. PSII efficiency of late-sown cultivars and timely-sown cultivars also indicated that thermosusceptible cultivars are more prone to terminal heat stress than thermotolerant cultivars. Heat Susceptibility Index (HSI) was calculated on the basis of physiological parameters. Based on HSI, thermotolerant and thermosusceptible cultivars were identified. HSI revealed comparatively low heat susceptibility in K7903, CBW12 and C306 and high heat susceptibility in PBW343, HD2329 and HD2428. On the basis of HSI, expression analysis of stress induced genes was performed between 2 tolerant cultivars C306 and K7903 along with 2 susceptible cultivars, HD2329 and PBW343. Higher expression of stress induced genes was observed in the 2 thermotolerant cultivars C306 and K7903 as compared to the 2 thermosusceptible cultivars HD2329 and PBW343. Thus further reconfirms that stress inducible genes can be employed for categorizing cultivars into susceptible and tolerant groups.

Project description:Nitrogen (N) fertilizer represents a significant cost for the grower and may also have environmental impacts through nitrate leaching and N2O (a greenhouse gas) emissions associated with denitrification. The objectives of this study were to quantify the genetic variability in N-use efficiency (NUE) in Indian spring wheat cultivars and identify traits for improved NUE for application in breeding. Twenty eight bread wheat cultivars and two durum wheat cultivars were tested in field experiments in two years in Maharashtra, India. Detailed growth analysis was conducted at anthesis and harvest including dry matter (DM) and N partitioning. Senescence of the flag leaf was assessed from a visual score every 3-4 days from anthesis to complete flag-leaf senescence and fitted against thermal time to estimate the onset and end of post-anthesis senescence. Grain yield (GY) was reduced under low N (LN) by an average of 1.46?t ha-1 (-28%). Significant N?×?genotype level interaction was observed for grain yield and NUE. Above-ground N uptake at harvest was reduced from 162?kg N ha-1 under high N (HN) to 85?kg N ha-1 under low N (LN) conditions, while N-utilization efficiency (grain DM yield per unit crop N uptake at harvest; NUtE) increased from 32.7 to 44.6?kg DM kg-1 N. Genetic variation in GY under LN related mainly to variation in N uptake at harvest rather than NUtE; and the N?×?genotype effect for GY was mainly explained by the interaction for N uptake at harvest. Averaging across years, the linear regression of onset of flag-leaf senescence on GY amongst cultivars was significant under both HN (R2 0.16. p?<?0.05) and LN (R2 0.21, p?<?0.05) conditions. Onset of flag-leaf senescence was positively associated with N uptake at anthesis under HN (R2 0.34, p?<?0.001) and LN (R2 0.22, p?<?0.01) conditions. Flag-leaf senescence timing was not associated with post-anthesis N uptake. It is concluded that increased N accumulation at anthesis was correlated with flag-leaf senescence timing and that N accumulation at anthesis is an important trait for enhancing grain yield and NUE of wheat grown under low to moderate N supply in India.

Project description:Optimizing wheat height to maximize yield has been an important aspect which is evident from a successful example of green revolution. Dwarfing genes (Rht) are known for yield gains due to lodging resistance and partitioning of assimilates into ear. The available and commercially exploited sources of dwarfism in Indian spring wheat are Rht1 and Rht2 genes inspite of availability of over 20 dwarfing genes. Rht8 a Gibberellic acid sensitive dwarfing gene is another reduced height gene commercially exploited in some Mediterranean countries. Two F2 populations segregating for Rht1 and Rht8 genes with each comprising 398 and 379 plants were developed by crossing European winter wheat cultivars Beauchamp and Capitole with Indian spring wheat cultivar PBW 621. Different genotypic combinations for Rht1 and Rht8 genes were selected from these populations through linked molecular markers and selected F3:4 lines were evaluated for various agronomic traits in a replicated trial. Reduction in plant height with Rht8 and Rht1 averaged 2.86% and 13.3% respectively as compared to the group of lines lacking dwarfing gene. Reduction was spread along all the internodes of wheat culm and reduction was lower as progress towards the lower internode. Grain number per spike and highest yield was observed in lines carrying only Rht1 gene. Reduction in plant biomass was observed with either of the dwarfing gene. Longest coleoptile length and seedling shoot length averaged 4.4 ± 0.09 cm and 19.5 ± 0.48, respectively was observed in lines lacking any of the dwarfing gene. Negligible reduction of 6.75% and 2.84% in coleoptile length and seedling shoot length, respectively was observed in lines carrying only Rht8 gene whereas F3:4 lines with Rht1 gene showed 21.64% and 23.35% reduction in coleoptile length and seedling shoot length, respectively. Additive effect of genes was observed as double dwarfs showed 43.31% and 43.34% reduction in coleoptile length and seedling shoot length.
