Abstract:

Two field experiments were carried out in Wenxian and Zhengzhou of Henan Province in 2012–2013 wheat season to study the effects of nitrogen (N) application rate and irrigation on total phenol, flavonoids, and carotenoid contents and antioxidant activity in winter wheat cultivar Yumai 49-198. In the N application range of 0–300 kg ha-1, all indices tested increased with increasing N rate and reached peak values under 300 kg ha-1. With the increase of irrigation frequency (0–2 irrigations), total phenol and flavonoids contents and antioxidant activity had the maximum values under one irrigation condition at jointing, whereas the carotenoid content varied across locations. The interaction between N application rate and irrigation had a significant effect on antioxidants in wheat grain. Treatments of irrigation at jointing stage plus N application of 240300 kg ha–1 resulted in the high antioxidant content and antioxidant activity, whereas twice irrigation at jointing and anthesis stages plus N application of 240300 kg ha–1 resulted in antioxidant accumulation. Total phenol and flavonoids contents were positively correlated with antioxidant activity, indicating that high contents of total phenol and flavonoids were favorable for high antioxidation. The correlations of grain antioxidant content with soil moisture and NO3--N content varied in different soil layers. Generally, N fertilizer had the effect on increasing total phenol and carotenoid contents and soil water had the effect on accumulating flavonoids.

Key words: Irrigation, Nitrogen fertilization, Winter wheat, Antioxidant, Grain
