Abstract:

This study was expected to explore the relation of grain-filling and dehydration characteristics with changes of endogenous hormones of summer maize hybrids differing in maturities, providing theoretical references for mechanized harvest of grains, high-yield, high-efficiency production and breeding of summer maize hybrids in the Huang-Huai-Hai Rivers region. The early maturity hybrids Denghai 518 (DH518), Hengzao 8 (HZ8) and the late maturity hybrids Zhengdan 958 (ZD958), Denghai 605 (DH605) were used to measure changes of dry matter accumulation, water content and endogenous hormone content in the process of kernel formation. Compared with the late maturity hybrids, the early maturity hybrids had shorter grain-filling duration, earlier beginning of dehydration, higher dehydration rate, lower kernel weight at physiological maturity stage, and lower yield. but among the early maturity hybrids, DH518 had significantly higher yield than HZ8. The endogenous hormones content and their changes in different hybrids were different, but the trend that the same hormone changed with grain development was the same. The ABA content of the early maturity hybrids in grain was higher than that of the late maturity hybrids, especially in the middle-late grain-filling stage. Both grain filling and dehydration rate were related to endogenous hormone, the dehydration rate of the early hybrids was positively correlated with ZR content.

Key words: summer maize, growth period, grain-filling, grain dehydration, endogenous hormone
