Book Plant Growth Regulators and Their Effect on Yield of Wheat  Triticum Aestivum L   in Southern Australia

Download or read book Plant Growth Regulators and Their Effect on Yield of Wheat Triticum Aestivum L in Southern Australia written by Jaron Tomys Bennett and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Plant growth regulators (PGRs) shorten the straw of cereals and have been used commercially to control lodging in regions of high rainfall for many years. PGRs have been shown not only to reduce height, but affect yield formation processes such as dry matter accumulation, distribution and the principle yield components in the absence of lodging. The use of the anti-gibberellin PGRs such as Trinexapac Ethyl (Moddus) and Chlormequat Chloride (Cycocel) have only recently been considered as a means of increasing yield in dryland wheat production systems. However, results have been inconsistent and seem to vary with the type of PGR, rate, growth stage of application, environment and cultivar. The experiments reported here were designed to investigate the potential of PGRs to increase yields in dryland wheat production systems of the southern Australian wheat belt. Moddus and Cycocel (collectively to be referred to as PGRs) were applied in the field, at two locations, Wagga Wagga in the NSW Riverina using the variety EGA Gregory and Swan Hill in the Victorian Northern Mallee using the variety Yitpi. Crops were sprayed with varying rates and combinations of Moddus and/or Cycocel applied at three different crop growth stages, GS 13/15, GS 25/29 and GS 31/31. Measurements of crop height, canopy greenness, lodging, stem non-structured carbohydrates (NSC), dry matter production and yield and its principle components were taken to evaluate the effects of the PGRs."--Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture faces many challenges to fulfil the growing demand for sustainable food production and ensure high-quality nutrition for a rapidly growing population. To guarantee adequate food production, it is necessary to increase the yield per area of arable land. A method for achieving this goal has been the application of growth regulators to modulate plant growth. Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are substances in specific formulations which, when applied to plants or seeds, have the capacity to promote, inhibit, or modify physiological traits, development and/or stress responses. They maintain proper balance between source and sink for enhancing crop yield. PGRs are used to maximize productivity and quality, improve consistency in production, and overcome genetic and abiotic limitations to plant productivity. Suitable PGRs include hormones such as cytokinins and auxins, and hormone-like compounds such as mepiquat chloride and paclobutrazol. The use of PGRs in mainstream agriculture has steadily increased within the last 20 years as their benefits have become better understood by growers. Unfortunately, the growth of the PGR market may be constrained by a lack of innovation at a time when an increase in demand for new products will require steady innovation and discovery of novel, cost-competitive, specific, and effective PGRs. A plant bio-stimulant is any substance or microorganism applied to plants with the aim to enhance nutrition efficiency, abiotic stress tolerance and/or crop quality traits, regardless of its nutrients content. Apart from traditional PGRs, which are mostly plant hormones, there are a number of substances/molecules such as nitric oxide, methyl jasmonate, brassinosteroids, seaweed extracts, strigolactones, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria etc. which act as PGRs. These novel PGRs or bio-stimulants have been reported to play important roles in stress responses and adaptation. They can protect plants against various stresses, including water deficit, chilling and high temperatures, salinity and flooding. This book includes chapters ranging from sensing and signalling in plants to translational research. In addition, the cross-talk operative in plants in response to varied signals of biotic and abiotic nature is also presented. Ultimately the objective of this book is to present the current scenario and the future plan of action for the management of stresses through traditional as well as novel PGRs. We believe that this book will initiate and introduce readers to state-of-the-art developments and trends in this field of study.

Book Biological Activity of a Tertiary Amine Plant Growth Regulator  BMVE  in Arabidopsis Thaliana and Wheat  Triticum Aestivum

This book was released on 2018 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant growth regulators are synthetic compounds that influence plant growth and development and can increase growth, yield, and nutritive value of food crops. Research in the past has shown that a class of plant growth regulators known collectively as substituted tertiary amines have the potential to increase crop productivity, photosynthetic efficiency, and overall plant vigor. However, earlier efficacy studies that involved spraying plants were sometimes inconsistent or showed only minimal benefits. A new delivery method involving seed application of tertiary amines before sowing has shown promise in field trials for multiple crop species (US patent 9464283) (Yokoyama, Chan, Oyama, & Hov, 2015). The goal of this study is to determine how the seed treatment with 2-(N-methylbenzylaminoethyl)-3-methylbutanoate (BMVE) affects plant growth and productivity. To link the effect of BMVE with plant phenotype, precise temporal changes in wheat growth were measured by using high-throughput phenotyping in a controlled environment. During these experiments, it was also determined whether BMVE is beneficial under drought conditions. A classical phenotyping approach was also followed to evaluate the effect of BMVE on early growth stages of wheat. Additionally, transcriptome analysis was done to identify differential gene expression in response to BMVE in Arabidopsis. An Arabidopsis mutant conferring reduced sensitivity to BMVE was characterized and used to map the resistant locus. These experiments were aimed at deciphering the mode of action and regulatory pathway of BMVE, which have been unclear so far.

Book Plant Growth Regulators Effects on Vegative Growth  Yield and Yield Components in Winter Wheat

Download or read book Plant Growth Regulators Effects on Vegative Growth Yield and Yield Components in Winter Wheat written by Mohammed A. M. Alghamdi and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three glasshouse experiments and one field experiment were carried out to investigate the effect of the plant growth regulator on vegetative growth and yield components of reduced height isogenic lines of the wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar Mercia. The first experiment compared the growth regulator response of seven isogenic lines of Mercia. Subsequent experiments used four lines, (Mercia control, Rhtl Rht2, and Rht8). Two glasshouse experiments examined the responses under well watered and water stress conditions. The third glasshouse experiment examined rates and time of application under well watered conditions, whilst the field experiment had different rates of application. In all experiments growth regulators reduced plant height significantly in all lines. Growth regulator decreased total dry matter and grain yield with greatest reduction generally for the control and Rht8 lines. Rhtl was the least affected. There were few significant effects of growth regulator on gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence but the trend was for greater values with growth regulator. In the first glasshouse experiment, a rate of 2.0 1 ha-1 applied just before the third node detectable stage under non water stressed and water stressed conditions gave slight increases in yield of up to 14% except for line Rht10 which increased significantly in non-stressed conditions. In the second glasshouse experiment, a rate of 2.5 1 ha" applied at the start of stem elongation under 30% FC and 100% FC gave reductions in yield up to 16% for the growth regulator and 55% under water stress. In the field experiment, rates of 2.5 and 3.0 1 ha-1 applied at the start of stem elongation gave reductions in yield up to 20% mainly through individual seed weight. In the final glasshouse experiment, rates of 2.5 and 3.0 1 ha-l applied at 6 leaves unfolded and 1st node detectable both reduced grain yield.
