Abstract:

Two rice cultivars,Yangdao 6 (a cultivar with high N use efficiency) and Wuyujing 3 (a cultivar with low N use efficiency) were hydroponically grown in nutrient solutions containing 2.86mmol/L NH4 +. Several physiological indexes in mid-position and flag leaves, such as net photosynthetic rate, the activities of glutamine synthetase (GS) and nitrate reductase (NR), content of soluble sugar and protein, content and transition of N and its contribution to grain N accumulation and yields were conducted. The results were as follows: (1) Net photosynthetic rate of flag leaves were always higher than that of mid-position leaves at the stage of anthesis or grain filling. As for cultivars, net photosynthetic rate of flag leaves in Yangdao 6 was significantly higher than that in Wuyujing 3 (P<0.05), while it showed no significant differences between the mid-position leaves at the stage of anthesis. Furthermore, it was higher in flag leaves than that in mid-position leaves and higher in Yangdao 6 than that in Wuyujing 3. (2) NRA and GSA were higher in mid-position leaves than that in flag leaves and were higher at grain filling stage than at anthesis stage. Also, they were significantly higher in Yangdao 6 than that in Wuyujing 3. From flowering to grain filling stage, content of soluble sugar exhibited increase in flag leaves while decrease in mid-position leaves, respectively. Content of soluble protein decreased, and it was higher in Yangdao 6 than that in Wuyujing 3. The transported soluble protein in mid-position and flag leaves in Yangdao 6, Wuyujing 3 were 50.3%, 37.6% and 69.5%, 44.4%, respectively. (3) Total N accumulation in mid-position leaves was higher than that in flag leaves and was higher at anthesis stage than at grain filling stage. As for cultivars, the amount of total N accumulation and transition in mid-position and flag leaves in Yangdao 6, Wuyujing 3 were 35.6% and 34.7%, 26.9% and 35.3%, respectively. (4) Grain N content and grain yields were significantly reduced under treatments of cutting leaves. Grain N content was decreased by 6.9% in Yangdao 6 and 4.6% in Wuyujing 3 when removed mid-position leaves and decreased by 10.5% in Yangdao 6 and 9.2% in Wuyujing 3 when removed flag leaves. Grain yields were decreased by 7.3% in Yangdao 6 and 4.9% in Wuyujing 3 when removed mid-position leaves and decreased by 13.8% in Yangdao 6 and 11.1% in Wuyujing 3 when removed flag leaves. This suggested that flag leaves contributed largely to the accumulation of grain N and the production of yields. In general, net photosynthesis rate and N assimilation were significantly higher in cultivars with high N use efficiency than those in cultivars with low N use efficiency. On the other hand, N stored in mid-position leaves in cultivars with high N use efficiency can be transferred to the kernel to reutilize, thereby, N use efficiency was improved. This indicated there were different mechanisms in the N use efficiency between various rice cultivars.
