Abstract:

By analyzing field data for specific rapeseed varieties from multiple regions and years, we aim to reveal the relationship between plant architecture and yield-related factors. Five widely applied varieties in the past ten years were chosen in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, their field data from National Winter-type Rapeseed Regional Trials were used to analyze the characteristics and correlation relationships of plant architecture and yield-related traits within regions in different years. The plant architecture of five varieties all fit the criteria of high-yield type, with the branch height proportion of 0.34-0.39, and the main inflorescence proportion of 0.34-0.37, while no difference was observed among the varieties for these two factors. Silique layer density was extremely and positively correlated with plant yield and plot yield, with 0.64 and 0.22 as the correlation coefficient value, respectively. On the other hand, significant differences were commonly found in most yield and architecture-related traits between the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, especially after the increase of growth density, the plant height, branch height and silique layer density all varied extremely and significantly, but not for plot yield. The analyzed results from long-term data in multiple regions could provide a more solid foundation for the selection of new-hybrid varieties in the future.

Key words: hybrid rapeseed, ideal plant architecture, field trials, yield-related factors
