Abstract
Field experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of sulfur application on protein accumulation of two winter wheat cultivars (Lumai 22 and Yannong 15) in the 1998-1999. The available sulfur content in the experimental soil was 5.84 mg/kg. Treatments of 172.5 kg/hm 2 P 2O 5, 112.5 kg/hm 2 K 2O and 240 kg/hm 2 N were factorially combined with three S treatments (0, 67.5 and 90 kg/hm 2 S). In contrast, sulfur addition not only increased the nitrate reductase (NR) activity in roots and in flag leaves of wheat, but also increased total free amino acids content and soluble protein content in flag leaves, promoted protein synthesis in flag leaves. Endopeptidase and carboxypeptidase activity in flag leaves increased as well, protein degradation promoted in response to S application. Treatment with 67.5 kg S /hm 2 increased glutenin accumulating rate and total protein content in kernels, improved quality, increased grain and protein yield; But treatment with 90 kg S/hm 2 increased gliadin at the expense of glutenin, the quality was not improved, the grain and protein yield were not increased significantly.
