Root System Architecture and nitrogen Uptake Efficiency of Wheat Species

Purpose : Plant nitrogen use efficiency can be increased by improving N uptake (NUpE). Root system architecture of the plant plays a vital role in uptaking water and nutrients including N. The present study was conducted to compare root architectural traits different wheat species at early seedling development vegetative growth stage while mature stages under controlled environment.Research Method Ten genotypes belong four species; einkorn, emmer, spelt modern bread were compared. Growth pouches used develop systems seedlings images analysed using RootNav software. charcteristics above-graound phase studied semi-hydrophonic where WinRhizo software analyse images. Finally, glasshouse pot experiment calculate NUpE maturity.Findings highest number seminal roots, total length wider tip angle recorded emmer. However, not significantly from cv. Oberkulmer. Genotypes with narrow wide angles roots produced deep shallow systems, respectively. Positive relationship between found. Fertiliser ancient varied among emmer value followed spelt, einkorn.Originality/ Value Wheat for architecture. Emmer had having high maturity. It suggests importance well-spred fertiliser rapidly before leached down. Further, is an ability efficiently which that when selected yield, favourable related might neglected. Favourable could introduced through direct crossing or creating synthetic wheat.
