The priority of management factors for reducing the yield gap of summer maize in the north of Huang-Huai-Hai region,China

Understanding yield potential, yield gap and the priority of management factors for reducing the yield gap in current intensive maize production is essential for meeting future food demand with the limited resources. In this study, we conducted field experiments using different planting modes, which were basic productivity(CK), farmer practice(FP), high yield and high efficiency(HH), and super high yield(SH), to estimate the yield gap. Different factorial experiments(fertilizer, planting density, hybrids, and irrigation) were also conducted to evaluate the priority of individual management factors for reducing the yield gap between the different planting modes. We found significant differences between the maize yields of different planting modes. The treatments of CK, FP, HH, and SH achieved 54.26, 58.76, 65.77, and 71.99% of the yield potential, respectively. The yield gaps between three pairs: CK and FP, FP and HH, and HH and SH, were 0.76, 1.23 and 0.85 t ha~(–1), respectively. By further analyzing the priority of management factors for reducing the yield gap between FP and HH, as well as HH and SH, we found that the priorities of the management factors(contribution rates) were plant density(13.29%)fertilizer(11.95%)hybrids(8.19%)irrigation(4%) for FP to HH, and hybrids(8.94%)plant density(4.84%)fertilizer(1.91%) for HH to SH. Therefore, increasing the planting density of FP was the key factor for decreasing the yield gap between FP and HH, while choosing hybrids with density and lodging tolerance was the key factor for decreasing the yield gap between HH and SH.     

Regional distribution of wheat yield and chemical fertilizer requirements in China

Quantification of currently attainable yield and fertilizer requirements can provide detailed information for assessing the food supply capacity and offer data support for agricultural decision-making. Datasets from a total of 5 408 field experiments were collected from 2000 to 2015 across the major wheat production regions in China to analyze the spatial distribution of wheat yield, the soil nutrient supply capacity(represented by relative yield, defined as the ratio of the yield under the omission of one of nitrogen(N), phosphorus(P) and potassium(K) to the yield under the full NPK fertilizer application), and N, P and K fertilizer requirements by combining the kriging interpolation method with the Nutrient Expert Decision Support System for Wheat. The results indicated that the average attainable yield was 6.4 t ha~(-1), with a coefficient of variation(CV) of 24.9% across all sites. The yields in North-central China(NCC) and the northern part of the Middle and Lower reaches of the Yangtze River(MLYR) were generally higher than 7 t ha~(-1), whereas the yields in Southwest China(SWC), Northeast China(NEC), and the eastern part of Northwest China(NWC) were usually less than 6 t ha~(-1). The precentage of area having a relative yield above 0.70, 0.85, and 0.85 for N, P, and K fertilizers accounted for 52.3, 74.7, and 95.9%, respectively. Variation existed in N, P, and K fertilizer requirements, with a CV of 24.8, 23.9, and 29.9%, respectively, across all sites. More fertilizer was needed in NCC and the northern part of the MLYR than in other regions. The average fertilizer requirement was 162, 72, and 57 kg ha~(-1) for N, P_2O_5, and K_2O fertilizers, respectively, across all sites. The incorporation of the spatial variation of attainable yield and fertilizer requirements into wheat production practices would benefit sustainable wheat production and environmental safety.

玉米茎秆抗倒伏遗传的研究进展

茎秆倒伏严重影响玉米产量、品质和机械化收获,是当前玉米生产和育种亟待解决的主要问题之一。加强对玉米茎秆抗倒伏性的研究,对提高品种抗倒伏能力具有重要意义。本文综述了玉米茎秆倒伏的主要影响因素及其遗传特征。茎秆倒伏与茎秆自身的强度密切相关。茎秆强度越高,抗倒伏性越强。茎秆强度受茎秆所处的发育阶段、茎秆内部结构和外部形态,及其细胞壁成分等影响。处于分生组织的茎秆细胞分裂旺盛,较易折断,而进入生殖生长后,茎秆表皮、厚壁组织增厚,维管束发育成熟,对茎秆的支撑作用增强。茎秆细胞壁的主要成分——纤维素、半纤维素、木质素、可溶性糖、无机物等均可提升茎秆强度。目前,研究者借助高通量表型平台,利用玉米连锁群体和自交系群体,采用各种定位方法,鉴定到一系列影响茎秆形态、强度、细胞壁成分的相关QTL和候选基因。研究表明,基于单倍型的QTL定位方法比基于单个SNP的定位效果好。一致性QTL分析将不同遗传群体的研究整合到一起,能够提高QTL结果的通用性。茎秆强度的遗传基础复杂,受微效多基因控制,位点间具有加性效应。茎秆成分QTL中的候选基因涉及细胞壁代谢、转录因子、蛋白激酶等。MAIZEWALL是玉米细胞壁相关基因的重要数据库。目前该数据库包含1 156个玉米细胞壁生物学相关的候选基因,为该领域的深入研究提供强大的资源。已鉴定到一系列影响玉米茎秆细胞壁成分、茎秆形态和强度的基因,其功能涉及纤维素合成路径,如纤维素合成酶类、Cobra类、糖基转移酶和核糖转运蛋白类;苯丙烷路径基因,如控制bm1—bm5的相关基因;植物激素类,如赤霉素、生长素、油菜素甾醇相关基因;转录因子如NAC、MYB;miRNA（ZmmiR528）以及F-box基因（stiff1）等。今后应积极探索不同发育时期玉米茎秆倒伏的力学机制;广泛发展自然群体或育种群体进行遗传分析;采取多种定位策略,提高抗倒伏相关基因鉴定的功效;针对优良等位基因,开发各类分子标记,加强抗倒伏分子标记辅助选择。本文将为玉米茎秆抗倒伏遗传机制解析及抗倒伏玉米品种的分子育种提供参考。
