Effects of temperature on spikelet number of wheat

Abstract: A goal of our research was to analyze the influence of the spike morphological characteristics on a wheat yield. After a three year experiment, we chose genotypes with the maximum and minimum yield. The genotypes with a higher yield (HY) had a significantly longer spike, greater mass, lower number of spikelets (total, fertile and sterile) and greater mass of grain/spike. For all the genotypes, a normal distribution of a number and a mass of grain/spikelet, of a spike main shoot, was noticed. The lowest values … Show more

“…FLUID & HALLORAN (1984) proposed that wheat genotypes have a basic development rate, irrespective of their vernalization and photoperiod requirements, and that this basic rate may be used in breeding for a wider environmental adaptation. On the basis of the study reported here, as well as on other studies (HALSE &WEIR, 1974;BAGGA & RAWSON, 1977) it may be concluded that the basic development rate is highly affected by temperature and that breeding for wider adaptation also involves reduced temperature sensitivity of the basic developmental stages, most notably of GS2. As a result of reduced thermo-sensitivity of GS2 there are wheat genotypes better able to sustain grain number per spike at a high temperature, as exemplified by Kalyansona (BAGGA & RAWSON, 1977) and some of the cultivars tested in this experiment.…”

“…Several investigators found that when the vernalization and photoperiod requirements are fully satisfied, wheat varieties differ in the extent of heat effect on spikelet number per spike (HALSE & WEIR, 1974;HALLORAN, 1977). A most remarkable example is given in the work of BAGGA & RAW~ON (1977), where Kalyansona, compared with Condor showed excellent stability in grain number per spike at increasing temperatures.…”

“…Biologically, the ability to phenotype spike traits is of great importance, with uses in several different research areas. For example, spikelet development and thus yield can be affected by abiotic stresses such as high temperature and drought [12,26] or changes in sowing date [1]. Other traits such as the presence of awns, a bristle or hair like structure extending from the end of each floret (see Fig.…”
