Hormonal changes in grains of cv. Triumph and its mutant TL43 as affected by nitrogen fertilizer at heading time
2009
A pot experiment was conducted to study the hormonal changes during the grain filling stage in barley lines of Triumph and its mutant TL43 with or without nitrogen fertilizer at heading time. The ABA, ZR and IAA contents in grains were higher under nitrogen treatment (HN) for both genotypes at 30 days post anthesis (DPA). No genotypic differences were observed in GA3, ABA and IAA content over the grain filling stage and ZR content on 10 DPA exhibited the major difference, which might be associated with the decrease of A-type starch granules in endosperm of TL43. Triumph also showed significantly higher grain weight, lower hordein and glutelin contents than TL43. The changes of these characters might be correlated with the ZR deficiency of TL43 at early grain filling stage.
