Response of different rice cultivars (Oryza sativa L.) to water-saving irrigation in greenhouse conditions
Authors
Abstract:
Due to increasing water and growing demand for food a more efficient water use system is needed for agriculture. This is more evidence for rice production with a higher water use for economical production. A large cultivar×water regime interaction exists for grain yield in rice. Therefore, information is required to adopt new rice cultivars with high yield potential under water-saving conditions. The objectives of this study were to analyze the straw yield, grain yield, yield components, water use and water productivity of six rice cultivars (Anbarboo-22, Ghasroddashti, Cross-Domsiah, Hasani, Rahmat-Abadi, and Doroodzan) under water-saving irrigation regimes (intermittent flood irrigation with 1-and 2-day intervals, I-1-D, and I-2-D, respectively) compared with continuous flood irrigation (CFI) to adopt the elite cultivars of semi-arid area for water-saving conditions. Results indicated that under water-saving irrigation regimes (I-1-D), Doroodzan, Anbarboo-22, and Cross-Domsiah cultivars produced higher grain yields and are elite cultivars, however, under I-2-D irrigation regime only Anbarboo-22 cultivar was an elite cultivar. Based on the harvest index criterion, Doroodzan and Anbarboo-22 cultivars are the elite cultivars under water-saving irrigation regimes. The grain yield of the cultivars was mostly controlled by 1000-grain weight and the order of the other yield components were number of grains per panicle > number of panicles per unit area > unfilled grain percentages. Under CFI, Doroodzan cultivar resulted in highest water productivity (WP) as 0.52 kg m-3 and Cross-Domsiah and Anbarboo-22 cultivars with WP of 0.40 and 0.31 kg m-3 were in second and third place, respectively. Furthermore, based on the drought tolerance indices, it is concluded that Doroodzan at first place and Anbarboo-22 and Cross-Domsiah cultivars at second place may be considered as drought tolerant cultivars that can be used in further field study with water-saving irrigation regimes i.e., intermittent irrigation with 1-and 2-day intervals in Fars province.

Drought stress is one of the important factors that restrict crop production in the world. This study was conducted to investigate defense gene expression in response to drought stress, and also to evaluate the drought tolerance and its mechanism in rice cultivars based on randomized complete block design in two separate environments (drought stress and non-stress). The rice cultivars used incl...

Study of the morphological genetic diversity of 114 lines, which have been derived from the crosses between Tarom Mahalli and Khazar cultivars, has been performed at seedling stage as completely randomized design at the normal condition and salinity stress of 8 dS.m-1 in a hydroponic system. Significant differences were detected between genotypes for all traits. Mean of comparison demonstrated ...

We examined the relationship between morphological characteristics of anthers and fertility in japonica rice cultivars subjected to high temperature (37.5(26 degrees C day/night) at flowering. Percentage fertility was negatively correlated with the number of cell layers that separated the anther locule from the lacuna that formed between the septum and the stomium. The cell layers consisted of ...
