Abstract:

Two super rice cultivars, Liangyoupeijiu and Huaidao 9, were used in the study. Three irrigation regimes, including alternate wetting and moderate soil drying (WMD), alternate wetting and severe soil drying (WSD), and conventional irrigation (CI, continuous flooding), were imposed from heading to maturity. Compared with CI, WMD significantly increased, whereas WSD decreased, seed setting rate and grain weight of super rice. The photosynthetic rate, activities of membrane lipid peroxidation enzymes in the flag leaf, root oxidation activity, root absorption surface area, root active absorption area, root specific surface area, contents of zeatin + zeatin riboside (Z+ZR) and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in roots and the ratio of root to shoot were increased under the WMD regime, but decreased under the WSD regime. The results suggest that the WMD irrigation during grain filling could improve root and shoot physiological functions, and consequently increase the seed-setting rate and grain weight of super rice.
