Abstract:

To explore the differences of photosynthetic characteristics among different wheat varieties and the relationship between photosynthesis and economic yield, four different winter wheat varieties were selected to determine their photosynthetic characteristics in six growth periods. Results showed that: the change tendency and degree of six photosynthetic characteristic indexes of wheat flag leaf with the development process were basically the same, but the values and change degrees of photosynthetic characteristics of different varieties in different development periods were different. Six photosynthetic characteristic indexes were positively correlated with grain yield respectively. The order of the correlation degree was as following: green leaf area > stomatal conductance > intercellular CO2 concentration > net photosynthetic rate > chlorophyll content > transpiration rate. The order of correlation between photosynthetic characteristics and grain yield in different growth stages was middle grain filling stage > early grain filling stage >post grain filling stage >flowering stage> heading stage > end grain filling stage. It was the basis of increasing wheat yield to maintain and improve the green leaf area, chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and intercellular CO2 of flag leaf from flowering stage to post filling stage. Therefore, it is of reference value and guiding significance to determine and compare the photosynthetic characteristics of germplasm resources in wheat breeding with high light efficiency.

Key words: winter wheat varieties (lines), after heading, photosynthetic characteristics, yield
