Responses of plant growth, physiological, gas exchange parameters of super and non-super rice to rhizosphere temperature at the tillering stage

Abstract

Temperature is one of the critical factors affecting rice growth and yield production. This study investigated the effects of rhizosphere temperature at the tillering stage on the growth, physiological parameters and gas exchange attributes of two rice cultivars, i.e., the super rice cultivar Yuxiangyouzhan and the non-super rice cultivar Xiangyaxiangzhan, under hydroponic conditions. Three rhizosphere temperature treatments, i.e., a low-rhizosphere-temperature treatment (LT, nutrient solution at 17.5 ± 1.5 °C), an ambient-temperature treatment (AT, nutrient solution at 27.5 ± 1.5 °C), and a high-rhizosphere-temperature treatment (HT, nutrient solution at 37.5 ± 1.5 °C), were applied in this study. The results showed significant differences in most of the rice growth and physiological and gas exchange parameters as a result of cultivar and rhizosphere temperature as well as their interaction. In addition, the marked reduction in total dry weight was positively correlated with a notable reduction in plant morphological parameters, such as the fresh and dry weight of the leaves and stem sheaths, and changes in gas exchange parameters. Moreover, antioxidant reactions were active in response to high and low rhizosphere temperatures, which varied in different plant tissues. These results suggested that the super and non-super rice were sensitive to high and low rhizosphere temperatures, respectively.

Light and water treatment during the early grain filling stage regulates yield and aroma formation in aromatic rice

“…The malondialdehyde (MDA) and antioxidant activities were measured as described method by Li et al 65 . MDA was reacted with thiobarbituric acid (TBA), and the absorbance of the reaction solutions was recorded at 532 nm, 600 nm, and 450 nm.…”

Relationships between grain yield and agronomic traits of rice in southern China

“…For example, Taoyuan, Yunnan Province, China, had higher grain yield than other rice planting sites (Katsura et al, 2008), hence prevailing climatic conditions have huge impact in the growth and overall productivity of rice (Borrell et al, 1998;Jiang et al, 2015;2016). The different environmental conditions results in the difference in temperature and radiation which ultimately affected grain yield formation in rice (Katsura et al, 2008;Mo et al, 2015;Li et al, 2019;Liu et al, 2019a;2019b).…”

Nitrogen Regulates the Grain Yield, Antioxidant Attributes, and Nitrogen Metabolism in Fragrant Rice Grown Under Lead-Contaminated Soil

“…Roles of N fertilizer on yield and quality in fragrant rice were detected (Mo et al 2019). And N application affected yield or growth under adverse environments such as high temperature and cadmium stress had been reported (Liu et al 2019;Zaid and Mohammad 2018).…”

“…Fresh samples (0.30 g) were homogenized with 3 ml PBS in an ice bath and were centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 15 min at 4°C; the supernatant was used for the determination of SOD, POD, CAT activity, and MDA content (Lee and Lee 2000;Li 2000;Li et al 2019).…”
