Auxin protects spikelet fertility and grain yield under drought and heat stresses in rice

Environmental and Experimental Botany, 2018
Abstract Rice is highly sensitive to drought and high temperature (HT) stresses at reproductive phase. Since auxin is a major regulator of reproductive development, we analysed the role of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in spikelet fertility of rice under drought and HT stresses in 4 different experiments with 23 diverse rice genotypes.

A Reduction in Spikelet Number and Fertility Causes Yield Vulnerability in High‐Yielding Rice

Agronomy Journal, 2017
Core Ideas Low irradiance caused by a later end to the rainy season as a result of climate change is of concern in Japan. The objectives of this study were to identify the critical factors causing yield instability in high‐yielding indica‐ and japonica‐dominant rice cultivars released from 1990 to 2010 in Japan over 3 yr with contrasting levels of ...

Effect of nitrogen fertilization on rice spikelet differentiation and survival

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1996
SUMMARYExperiments were conducted in glasshouses at the Agronomy Department, International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Philippines, in 1987 and 1988 to test the effects of small amounts of additional N applied at different times during the vegetative and reproductive phases of growth on rice yield components and on spikelet differentiation and ...

Genetic dissection of embryo sac fertility, pollen fertility, and their contributions to spikelet fertility of intersubspecific hybrids in rice

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2004
The partial sterility of hybrids has been a major barrier for utilization of the strong heterosis expressed in hybrids between Oryza sativa ssp. indica and O. sativa ssp. japonica. Wide-compatibility varieties, comprising a special class of germplasm, are able to produce fertile hybrids when crossed to both indica and japonica varieties.

Nitrogen fertilizer increases spikelet number per panicle by enhancing cytokinin synthesis in rice

Plant Cell Reports, 2013
Flower number per panicle is one of the most important traits in rice productivity determination. The number of flowers is established in the early stages of panicle development. Nitrogen fertilizer application before panicle initiation is well known to increase flower number. Nitrogen increases cytokinin (CKs) biosynthesis in plants, and CKs have very

Spikelet fertility and heat shock transcription factor (Hsf) gene responses to heat stress in tolerant and susceptible rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes

Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2019
The reproductive stage of rice is the most sensitive to heat stress, which can lead to spikelet sterility. Thus, heat-tolerant and heat-susceptible genotypes were used to investigate their differences in terms of phenotypic responses and expression ...

A novel digenic epistatic interaction at two loci regulating spikelet fertility in rice

Plant Growth Regulation, 2019
The seed setting rate (spikelet fertility) is an important determinant of rice yield. In the past few decades, genes that control rice seed set have been cloned, and many quantitative trait loci (QTL) have been identified. However, the epistasis influencing rice seed set remains largely unclear.

INFLUENCE OF BORON ON SPIKELET FERTILITY UNDER VARIED SOIL CONDITIONS IN RICE GENOTYPES

Journal of Plant Nutrition, 2013
Rice, grown on a wide range of soils with varying soil pH levels boron (B) availability, uptake and mobilization could be limiting hence may lead to lower productivity and rice yields has been tested at 11 locations on low yielding rice genotypes from, Initial Evaluation Trials (IET) of AICRIP viz.IET 20979, IET 21003, IET 21007, IET 21014, IET 21025 ...

High nighttime temperatures affect rice productivity through altered pollen germination and spikelet fertility

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2009
Abstract Seasonally high nighttime temperatures (HNTs) along the United States Gulf Coast and in regions of similar climate, occurring during the critical stages of development, reduce rice ( Oryza sativa L.) yield and quality. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of HNT and preventive exogenous effectors (α-tocopherol, glycine ...

Spikelet initiation of winter triticale and winter wheat in response to nitrogen fertilization

European Journal of Agronomy, 1999
Abstract Spikelet initiation in response to two levels of nitrogen fertilization (0 and 200 kg N ha −1 split into 5×40 kg N ha −1 ) was investigated on the main stem and the first initiated tiller of winter triticale ( Triticosecale WITTM., cv. Grado) and winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum L., cv.
