Abstract:

Elucidating the canopy characteristics for nitrogen (N)-efficient rice varieties has great significance for screening N-efficient varieties. In this study, two N-efficient rice varieties Wuyunjing 30 and Lianjing 7 and two N-inefficient rice varieties Yangjing 4038 and Ningjing 1 were used and grown in the paddy field. The canopy characteristics of the two types of varieties and their relationships with grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency were investigated. Results showed that compared with N-inefficient varieties, N-efficient varieties had a higher grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency, mainly due to a larger number of total panicles and a greater filled-grain percentage, the N-efficient varieties showed greater stem-sheath weight per tiller, higher photosynthetic rate and photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), higher leaf thickness, specific leaf weight of the flag leaf, greater light interception rate in the middle and upper layer of a canopy, higher canopy top specific leaf N content, greater N extinction coefficient, better N-light matching degree, above-mentioned canopy traits were significantly and positively correlated with the grain yield and internal nitrogen use efficiency. These canopy traits could be considered as indexes for breeding and screening N-efficient rice varieties and for cultivating a population with high grain yield and high NUE.

Key words: Grain yield, Nitrogen use efficiency, Leaf thickness, Specific leaf weight, Light interception, Nitrogen extinction coefficient
