Abstract
A pot experiment was done to study the effect of zinc (Zn) application on the reproductive development and quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. SP 343) seeds. The soil was low in diethylenetriaminepentaacetate (DTPA)–extractable Zn and was fortified with a mixture of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) as basal fertilizers. Four treatments included a control (no Zn), 5 mg Zn, 10 mg Zn, and 10 mg Zn kg−1 soil with urea instead of ammonium nitrate. Zinc addition improved the pollen-producing capacity of anthers, pollen viability, and seed yield with an increase in seed Zn, phytate, and starch contents but decreased the phytate/zinc molar ratio at 5 mg Zn kg−1 and increased it at 10 mg Zn kg−1. Application of urea increased the seed protein content at 10 mg Zn kg−1 but was ineffective in lowering the phytate/Zn ratio, which was still less than the alarming level.
