Abstract:

Arabinoxylan (AX) content in barley grains is a principal chemical component affecting malt quality. The changes of arabinoxylan content and endoxylanase activity (EA) in grains during grain filling and their responses to agronomic factors, such as nitrogen rate and application timing, plant density, and growing site, were investigated using two-rowed barley cultivars, Hua 30, Zheda 9, and Zhexiu 12. All that three barley cultivars had the same changing trend in AX content and EA during grain-filling period. Contents of total arabinoxylan (TAX) and water unextractablearabinoxylan (WUAX), and EA declined constantly during grain filling stage, and content of water extractablearabinoxylan (WEAX), a small proportion of TAX, increased at early stage and declined at late stage. When Zheda 9 was planted in Hangzhou and Tongxiang of Zhejiang Province, TAX content in grains was significantly higher in Hangzhou than in Tongxiang, and the opposite was true for WEAX content. The effects of plant density and nitrogen application rate and timing were not significant on both TAX and WEAX contents in Tongxiang, while the effect was significant of these factors on WEAX contents in Hangzhou.
