Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Under normal water supply at 25 days after anthesis, photosynthesis in awnless spikes was 34.4% lower than in flag leaves.
- Intervention effect Water deficit at 25 days after anthesis reduced photosynthesis by 50.5% in awned spikes.
- Intervention effect Water deficit at 25 days after anthesis reduced photosynthesis by 60.9% in awnless spikes.
- Intervention effect Water deficit reduced relative water content and chlorophyll content in flag leaf and spike organs.
- Observation Changes in RWC and chlorophyll content under water deficit were smaller in spike organs than in flag leaf.
- Observation Grain yield, biomass and harvest index did not differ significantly between awned and awnless triticale under adequate water supply.
- Intervention effect Water deficit reduced grain yield of awned triticale by 23.7% relative to adequate water supply.
- Intervention effect Water deficit reduced grain yield of awnless triticale by 24.6% relative to adequate water supply.
- Observation Awnless triticale plants suffer more from drought than awned plants in the grain-filling stage.
