摘要：
Elastic sowing dates (ESDs) are correlated with rice grain yield. ESD is the easiest factor for farmers to manipulate in mechanized large-scale farming. In this study, field experiments were conducted over a 2-year period to determine the effects of different sowing dates on growth duration, effective accumulated temperature, and yield attributes in two early- and late-season machine-transplanted rice cultivars. In early rice (ER), a delay in the sowing date led to decreased grain yield and shorter growth duration. In late rice (LR), delayed sowing led to significantly lower grain yield and prolonged growth duration. In LR, significantly positive correlations were detected between effective accumulated temperature in the post-heading stage and both filling ratio and yield. Reproductive redundancy increased markedly in LR, by 7.72% over a 5-day interval. We determined that the ESDs for LR were 10 days later than the control, and that of ER was recommend early sowing rather than late sowing. These findings suggest a new strategy to meet the demands of mechanized large-scale rice farming: the development of thermal sensitive high-yield long-duration ER cultivars and high-yield short-duration LR cultivars.

摘要：
在玉米正常收获期间,明确器官含水率、力学强度和机收质量的变化规律,探明影响籽粒机收效果的直接因素,对实现玉米籽粒机收和提升机收质量具有重要意义.本试验以两个不同熟性品种为材料,采用半喂入式籽粒收割机,开展分期收获的田间试验研究.结果 表明,籽粒静态压碎强度(耐破碎性)和籽粒与穗轴连接强度(易脱粒性)分别与籽粒破碎率形成了直接的因果关系,两者同是影响破碎率的关键因素.籽粒压碎强度(x)与破碎率(y)可高度拟合为二项式回归关系(R 2=0.8827,P<0.001),回归方程为(y)=0.0021x 2-1.5443x+293.78,籽粒和穗轴连接强度(x)与破碎率(y)可高度拟合为幂函数型回归关系(R 2=0.7656,P<0.001),回归方程为(y)=0.007 x 4.12,而穗轴弯折强度与破碎率之间的关系小于上述(R 2=0.1644,0.01<P<0.05).在玉米收获后期,虽然早熟品种'金玉99'的籽粒与穗轴连接强度明显小于晚熟品种'宝玉9号',但是'宝玉9号'的籽粒压碎强度却显著大于'金玉99',最终导致两品种的籽粒破碎率差异不显著(P>0.05).落地籽粒损失率除了与植株倒伏倒折有关以外,对刀式割台容易在果穗脱粒前产生落地籽粒损失,并且越容易脱粒的籽粒损失越大,籽粒含杂率总体上随杂质器官含水率的下降而显著降低.适宜籽粒机收的玉米品种应具备的主要特征是茎秆坚韧抗倒伏、籽粒坚硬易脱粒.
摘要：
Growth and development of spikelets are asynchronous during hybrid rice seed production. However, knowledge is limited about the variation in seed vigour between superior and inferior spikelets. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the differences in seed vigour between superior and inferior spikelets of hybrid rice, and to explore the mechanisms associated with such variations with regards to seed filling characteristics and starch accumulation. Field experiments were conducted in 2017 and 2018, and seed vigour parameters, seed filling characteristics and starch accumulation were determined. We found that significant differences were recorded in seed vigour parameters between superior and inferior spikelets. Germination percentage (GP) and vigour index (VI) of superior spikelets were higher than that of inferior spikelets, irrespective of year or variety. Moreover, significant differences were observed in seed filling characteristics and starch accumulation between superior and inferior spikelets. Lower total starch content, amylose content and amylopectin content were recorded in inferior spikelets with low seed filling rate and long seed filling duration. Superior spikelets with high seed filling rate and short seed filling duration increased final seed weight by 23.9 and 22.3% for each variety, respectively. Therefore, these results raise the possibility that seed filling influences the starch accumulation and seed weight, and is closely associated with differences in the vigour of seeds from superior and inferior spikelets during hybrid rice seed production.
摘要：
Seed filling is crucial for seed vigor and starch accumulation and structure. Differences in hybrid rice seed vigor were evaluated in field experiments, conducted across two sites in 2017 and 2018, under different seed filling temperatures along with the underlying mechanisms related to the seed filling characteristics and starch accumulation and structure. Significant differences in the seed vigor parameters were revealed, with different seed filling characteristics observed under different temperatures. When averaged across cultivars, the seeds with a low seed filling rate and long seed filling duration obsessed 11.9% higher germination percentage (GP) and 22.7% higher vigor index (VI) than those with a high seed filling rate and short seed filling duration. Moreover, a high seed filling rate and short seed filling duration significantly decreased the total starch and amylose contents and increased the amylopectin content. Additionally, when averaged across cultivars, the relative crystallinity and starch granule diameter obtained with a high seed filling rate and short seed filling duration were 3.8% and 15.1% higher, respectively, than those with a low seed filling rate and long seed filling duration. In summary, it can be speculated that seed filling characteristics determine hybrid rice seed vigor by affecting starch accumulation and structure.

摘要：
Gibberellic acid (GA(3)) application after anthesis is an important practice in hybrid rice seed production, and it plays diverse roles in seed quality and seed yield. The main objective of this study was to determine (1) the effects of GA(3) application after anthesis on seed vigor and (2) the optimal GA(3) dosage applied to Indica hybrid rice seed production. Field experiments of different GA(3) dosages (15 g hm(-2) and 30 g hm(-2), respectively) after anthesis were conducted in 2016 and 2017, and seed vigor parameters, stigma vigor index, and seed yield were determined. We found that significant differences in seed vigor parameters by a standard germination test and a cool germination test were observed among different GA(3) dosages after anthesis. Compared with the water spraying treatment, the germination percentage (GP) increased by 2.5-6.3%, and the vigor index (VI) increased by 8.9-19.8% from GA(3) application after anthesis, respectively. Moreover, the stigma vigor index of the female parent was enhanced with an increasing GA(3) dosage, and there were significant increases (7.5-16.0%) between the water spraying treatment and GA(3) spraying treatments. There were positive significant relationships between the VI and stigma vigor index. Additionally, the seed yield of the GA(3) application with 30 g hm(-2) was 3.9% higher on average than that of the water spraying treatment. Therefore, our study suggests that seed vigor can be increased by GA(3) application after anthesis, and GA(3) application should be applied at a rate of 30 g hm(-2) to improve seed vigor and maintain seed yield in Indica hybrid rice seed production.
