Carbon isotope discrimination and yield of upland rice as affected by drought at flowering

Abstract: -Field experiments involving upland rice genotypes, sown in various dates in late season, were carried out to assess the relationship of carbon isotope discrimination with grain yield and drought resistance. In each one of the three years, one trial was kept under good water availability, while other suffered water shortage for a period of 18-23 days, encompassing panicle emergence and flowering. Drought stress reduced carbon isotope discrimination measured on soluble sugars (∆s) extracted from stem uppermost … Show more

“…When drought occurred in the mid-season (e.g., between the jointing stage and anthesis), its effect on wheat head size (i.e., the number of spikelet per spike) might be irreversible since late-emerging tillers would not contribute to yield [ 36 ]. It is more critical when drought occurred during the flowering and grain-filling stages than other stages and resulted in substantial yield reduction due to reduced rates of net photosynthesis owing to metabolic limitations (e.g., oxidative damage to chloroplasts and stomatal closure) and poor grain set and development [ 9 , 37 ]. The results show that post anthesis mild drought decreased wheat yields by 1–30% while a prolonged mild drought during the flowering and grain filling stages reduced grain yields by 58–92% [ 9 ].…”

“…This causes a delay in flowering by around two to three weeks and a decrease in spikelet fertility, grain number, and grain yield (Fisher & Fukai, 2003). Water deficit during anthesis or cell division causes pollination abnormality, desiccation of spikelet, inhibition of anthesis (Pinheiro et al, 2000), and an increase in the spikelet sterility (Boonjung & Fukai, 1996). Possession of a deep root system with high root length density may be an essential feature during intermittent drought stress if the germinating conditions favor the root development at depth (Kamoshita et al, 2008) and drought frequently reduces yield.…”

“…Along with the inhibition of anthesis, which leads to high sterility of spikelets. Spikelet fertility is the component that has the highest correlation with grain yield, under water deficit conditions in the reproductive phase (Pinheiro et al, 2000).…”
