چکیده

The aim of the study was to compare two ozone exposure patterns with different peak concentrations under equal dose conditions. Spring wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. ‘Nandu’) was ‘pre-cultivated’ under glasshouse conditions and exposed to two different ozone exposure scenarios (A: 1700–0900 h: 20 ppb, 0900–1700 h: 65 ppb; B: 1600–1200 h: 20 ppb, 1200–1600 h: 110 ppb) in large fumigation chambers for two weeks during anthesis. Control plants received charcoal filtered ambient air (<5 ppb ozone 24 h/day) (CF). Chlorophyll content as well as chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv : Fm ratio) and carbohydrate composition (hexoses, sucrose, starch) were monitored in flag leaves and in the case of carbohydrate content also in the penultimate internode during and after ozone exposure. Thousand grain weight (TGW) was determined for estimating yield effects. Photosynthesis decreased markedly in both treatments expressed as Fv : Fm ratio. In treatment B chlorophyll content (a + b) of leaves was reduced by 40% after 7 and 14 days of exposure (p ≤ 0.001). Carbohydrate content decreased significantly as compared with CF-plants to 20% (p ≤ 0.001) in the case of sucrose and starch. Effects were especially pronounced in treatment B (110 ppb for 4 h) and could be observed even seven days after exposure under CF conditions. After 14 days of exposure during anthesis, plants were incapable of recovery as shown by a significant reduction in thousand grain weight of ozone treated plants compared with CF-plants (treatment B: 22% at p ≤ 0.001). Effects on photosynthesis and carbon content even under moderate daily ozone peaks as in treatment A induced a significant yield loss of 11% (p ≤ 0.001) as well, when applied during anthesis. It can be concluded that under equal dose conditions ozone treatments with comparatively high peak concentration induce more pronounced effects than ozone patterns with moderate peaks. ©2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are used to prevent reduction in wheat grain yield under limited moisture conditions. The effect of 3 PGRs including cycocel, salicylic acid and brassinoestroeid on yield and yield components of  four wheat cultivars (Chamran, Shiroudi, Pishtaz and Sirvan) under well watered and water stress (withheld irrigation after flowering) was examined. The experiment was ca...

Abstract Eleven wheat cultivars were evaluated at 10-day intervals, beginning from anthesis, under irrigated and drought stress conditions during 2006-2007. The effects of irrigation, genotype and date of harvest were significant for most of the studied characters. Water deficit decreased pre-and post-anthesis assimilation rate, grain weight per spike, grain number per spike and 1000 grain wei...
