PAKISTAN JOURNAL OF BOTANY(2022)
摘要
Water shortage resulting from climate change has become one of the major threats to agricultural production globally. Performance of 68 mutants (M 4 ) of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), 35 of Bhittai and 33 of Kiran-95 varieties, induced by gamma-rays were evaluated, along with wild-types and a drought-resistant check, under three irrigation treatments, viz., T-1(no irrigation), T-2 (two irrigations) and T-3 (four irrigations). Drought susceptibility index (DSI) and relative yield (RY) values were used to describe yield stability and yield potential of wheat genotypes. BM-14, BM-15, KM-26, and KM-27 had the lowest DSI (.3, .18, -0.1,0.27) and higher relative yield under stress (.88, 1.00,1.00,1.00), than all other entries and check varieties; indicated better performance under water-deficit stress. A significant positive association was observed between biomass and grain yield in both the mutant populations of Bhittai (r=0.61) and Kiran-95(r=0.83) under T-1. However, a significantly negative relationship was observed in DSI with grain yield (r=-0.70; r=-0.68), biological yield (r=-0.30; r=0.67), and harvest index (r=-0.66; r=-0.29) in Bhittai and Kiran mutants, respectively. Principal component analysis (PCA) identified seven of Bhittai and llof Kiran-95 mutants for both water-stress and irrigated conditions. Furthermore, mutants with low DSI and high RY could be employed to breed varieties with both high yield stability and high yield potential (DSI<1 and RY>mean RY) for drought-prone areas.
