Abstract:

An experiment was conducted to verify how the grain yield and associated photosynthesis characteristics of wheat responded to density with cultivar replacement. Seven wheat cultivars released from 1940 to 2004 were once widely grown on the Loess Plateau during the 2011-2012 growing season at the Changwu experimental station in China,using three densities (100,250,and 350 seeds/m 2). The grain yield increased linearly with cultivar development at all densities,with annual genetic gains ranged from 0.65% to 1.29%. The cultivars released after the 1980s were less sensitive to density and had better population regulation. The improvement in the harvest index and thousand-grain weight of the modern cultivars were significantly and positively correlated with the grain yield. The photosynthetic rate of the flag leaf and the leaf area index at anthesis stage consistently increased with cultivar replacement,contributing more to the thousand-grain weight and resulted to the increase of grain yield. One reason to adaptation of modern cultivars for modern cultivation was their lower sensitivity to density. Thus,larger sink for the grains and the optimization of plant types for light interception should be given greater consideration in dryland wheat breeding on the Loess Plateau.

Key words: Dryland wheat, Genetic gain, Planting density, Light interception ability
