Abstract: Three types of summer maize varieties, low-plant height cultivar Denghai 661 (DH661), medium-plant height cultivar Chaoshi 3 (CS3), high-plant height varieties Ludan 981 (LD981) and Xianyu 335 (XY335) were need in this study. The results showed that the difference of dry matter accumulation for different varieties was mainly manifested after flowering stage. Along with the increase of the plant height, dry matter accumulation after flowering stage reduced. The carbon distribution rate in lower part of stem in low-plant height cultivar was lower than that in the high-plant height varieties. The experiment using tracer of isotope 13C showed that the leaves in different parts of plant in different varieties had different contributions to grain yield. With the decrease of the plant height, the dry matter transition of middle and bottom leaves was increased, and that of top leaves was decreased. The relative contribution of upper leaves in high-plant height varieties to grains was higher than that in low-plant height cultivar that of lower leaves in high-plant height varieties was lower. There were differences in the contribution to grain yield of different parts of leaves before or after flowering. For the dry matter transition, the top leaves of LD981 and XY335, as well as the middle leaves of DH661 were the highest.

Key words: Summer maize, Plant height, Carbon assimilation transition and distribution, Isotope 13C
