Photosynthesis,Carbohydrate Storage and Remobilization During Grain Filling as Affected by Sulphur Application in Winter Wheat

摘要

Photosynthesis and carbohydrate storage and remobilization was investigated during grain filling of winter wheat (Triticumaestivum L., cv. Lumai 22) in sulphur application experiments where the available sulphur (S) content in the soil of 0-20 cmsoil layer was 5.84 mg kg-1. Two levels of S were applied as S0 (0 kg S ha-1) and S1 (67.5 kg S ha-1). The results showed thatnet photosynthetic rate of flag leaf of S1 treatment was significantly higher than S0 treatment, and it increased graduallyfrom anthesis to 35 DAA. Sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) activity and sucrose content of S1 treatment were significantlyhigher than those of S0 treatment. The contents of total soluble sugar, sucrose, fructose, glucose, DP3 and DP ≥ 4fructan in stem and sheath of S1 treatment were significantly higher than those of S0 treatment also. The amount of totalsoluble sugar and fructans remobilization from stem and sheath and the starch accumulating rate in grain of S1 treatmentwas significantly higher than those of S0 treatment. It is suggested that sulphur application increase photosynthateremobilization from stem and sheath to grain at later filling stage.
