Drought-flood abrupt alterations (DFAA) is a condition in drought season when sudden rain inundate rice plants. These events are due to the high frequency of extreme climate events that might pose a threat to rice productivity. DFAA causes cumulative stress on rice which affects crop growth and alters dry matter accumulation. This study aims to understand the effect of DFAA to dry matter accumulation by assessing six rice varieties under DFAA. Three treatments were provided such as continuously irrigated as non-water stress (NS) as a control; drought to water stress -35 kPa (DFAA1) followed by sudden flood; drought to severe water stress -70 kPa (DFAA2) followed by abrupt floods; repeated until harvest. The study found that the alteration of dry matter accumulation was determined by root length, root weight, shoot length and shoot weight. Only varieties that are able to increase root depth under water stress fluctuation will be able to maintain the yield. The results of study showed that root depth was positively correlated with shoot length (r = 0.68), shoot weight (r = 0.62), root weight (r = 0.57), percentage of filled grain (r = 0.55) and number of filled grain per hill (r = 0.49). Shoot length was positively correlated with shoot weight (r = 0.83), root weight (r = 0.75) and the number of filled grain (r = 0.62), while shoot weight was only positively correlated with root weight (r = 0.88). This means that only root depth and shoot length can increase the seed setting rate and the number of filled grains per hill. Furthermore, at DFAA2, the percentage of filled grain was highest in Sipulo followed by Bo Santeut, Sanbei, Towuti and Situ Patenggang, which mean that varieties with deeper and heavier root dry weight can maintain higher yields than shallow and low root dry weight. The result of the study may allow to select rice varieties that are resistant to multilevel water-stress and able to maintain the potential yield, by looking at root depth, root dry weight, and through their grain yield in general. These traits could become key indicators for resistance to DFAA stress in rice. It is also necessary to pay attention to the fluctuation of soil water content in critical phases, especially in the reproductive phase and grain filling
This study aims to observe the relationship between leaves' relative water content (RWC), soluble sugar, dry matter accumulation, and rice yield components under water-stress conditions during the generative stage. Six rice varieties were observed under three different water stress treatments: non-stress, moderate water-stress (-0.35 bar), and severe (-0.70 bar). The results showed that under moderate and severe water-stress; the RWC at reproductive stage had correlation with RWC at maturity stage (r = 0.97), colored pollen (r = 0.87), the percentage of grains (r = 0.54) and grain weight (r = 0.57). The RWC at anthesis stage was closely related to the RWC at ripening stage (r = 0.99), the percentage of colored pollen (r = 0.87) and filled grains (r = 0.58), and the weight of grains per hill (r = 0.69). The RWC at the ripening stage was also closely related to the percentage of colored pollen (r = 0.87), the percentage of filled grains (r = 0.61), and the weight of filled grains per hill (r = 0.72). Furthermore, the percentage of colored pollen was closely related to the biomass dry weight (r = 0.47), and the soluble sugars at the reproductive stage were related to the percentage of filled grains (r = -0.68). The soluble sugars at the anthesis stage were closely related to the soluble sugars at the maturity stage (r = 0.75). The result might allow us to use the RWC as a determinant for rice under water stress, and it is important to maintain the RWC under water stress, especially during the generative stage.
BackgroundRice is one of the most important staple food crops in Asia. Since the first green revolution beginning in 1960s, high-yield semidwarf modern rice varieties have been widely planted; however, traditional rice varieties with tall plant type are still grown in many countries due to their good grain quality and adaptation to local climate and environment. Siputeh, a local rice variety mainly planted in Java and Sumatra islands of Indonesia, produces long grain rice with good cooking and eating quality. However, the variety has low yield with tall plant type and long growth duration and is highly susceptible to biotic and abiotic stress.ResultsSiputeh as the recurrent female was crossed with the donor line WH421, an elite paternal line of hybrid rice containing the sd1, Wxb, Xa4 and Xa21 genes, followed by backcrossing and self-pollination. TS4, a BC3F4 line derived from the breeding program, was obtained through marker-assisted selection for the sd1, Wxb, Xa4 and Xa21 loci. TS4 has semi-dwarf phenotype and short growth duration. TS4 conferred disease resistance to multiple Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) strains collected from different countries around the world. TS4 achieved higher grain yield than Siputeh in two field trials conducted in Banda Aceh, Indonesia and Lingshui, China, respectively. Finally, TS4 has better grain quality than Siputeh in terms of degree of chalkiness and amylose content.ConclusionAn improved rice line, designed as TS4, has been developed to contain semi-dwarf gene sd1, low amylase content gene Wxb and bacterial light resistance genes Xa4 and Xa21 through marker-assisted selection. TS4 has semi-dwarf phenotype with reduced growth duration, produces high yield with good grain quality and provides broad-spectrum resistance to Xoo strains. The development of TS4 enriches the diversity of local rice varieties with high yield potential and good grain quality.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12284-014-0033-2) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
This research was aimed to determine the effect of tillage and varieties on rice growth and yield. This research used a Split Plot Design (SPD) where the land was cultivated (T) as the main plot and rice varieties as subplots (V) repeated three times. The main factors as the main plot consist of three levels, namely: without soil tillage (T0), minimum soil tillage (T1), and perfect soil tillage (T2). The second factor is 5 level varieties, namely: Tinggong (V1), Ciherang (V2), Cibogo (V3), Inpari-13 (V4), and Situ Bagendit (V5). Data were also projected onto principal component analysis (PCA) to observe differences and affected factors related to the soil tillage system. The results showed that the system of tillage had a very significant effect on the yield per hectare. There was no significant difference in yield between the minimum tillage and the perfect tillage. Variety had a very significant effect on plant height at eight weeks after planting (WAP), the number of tillers at 8 WAP, panicle length per clump, the amount of grains, percentage of full grain per clump, percentage of empty grain per hill, the weight of grain per panicle, weight 1,000 grain and yield per hectare. The Cibogo variety gave the highest yield, namely 4.86 ton/ha. Based on PCA analysis, plant height, the total amount of grain, and filled grain are highly affected by the soil tillage system.
Background: The research was conducted to screen rice cultivars with resistance ability to high-temperature conditions and analyze the relationship between pollen viability and filled grain of native Indonesia rice cultivars. Methods: The rice seeds were germinated, sown into a tray and then transplanted into pots filled with sandy loam and compost 3:1. After 20% of flowering, four pots of each cultivar were kept under ambient temperature (28-32°C) and the other four pots were transferred to high-temperature (33-38°C) conditions. Pollen stainability and pollen germination were conducted using IKI solution and by germinating them under in vitro conditions respectively before being viewed under the light microscope. Yield characters were analyzed to obtain a relationship with pollen viability. Result: Percentage of pollen germination, filled and empty grains of rice cultivars significantly differed between the two conditions by t-test. Ciherang and Sigeudop were two resistant cultivars for high-temperature treatment, with filled grain percentage more than 85%. There was a strong relationship between pollen germination and filled grains at ambient temperature (r=0.95; p less than 0.01) and high temperature (r=0.94; p less than 0.01). Rice cultivars that show high pollen germination under high-temperature conditions would produce a high percentage of filled grains.
