Abstract:

The water chestnut variety ?Guifenti No.1? was selected as the experimental material. The effects of different nitrogen application rates and methods on agronomic characteristics, yield, starch accumulation, starch accumulation rate and starch synthase activities of starch processing water chestnut were analyzed, and the best nitrogen fertilizer operation scheme was explored. The results showed that the application of nitrogen fertilizer obviously promoted the growth and development of water chestnut. With the increase of nitrogen application rate, the contents of amylose, amylopectin and total starch first increased and then decreased, and N2 (240 kg/ha) level had the most significant effect on increasing starch content. Under different nitrogen application methods, the content of amylose was the highest in N2T2 treatment, which was 13.6%, while the contents of amylopectin and total starch content were the highest in N2T3 treatment, which was 54.2% and 65.4%, respectively. The analysis of key enzymes activities in starch synthesis showed that the activities of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPP), granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS), soluble starch synthase (SSS) and starch branching enzyme (SBE) first increased and then decreased with the increase of nitrogen application rate. Correlation analysis showed that the starch accumulation rate was significantly or extremely significantly positively correlated with the activities of AGPP, GBSS, SSS and SBE.

Key words: Water chestnut, Nitrogen fertilizer, Yield, Starch accumulation, Starch synthase activity
