Effects of Removal of Some Photosynthetic Structures on Some Yield Components in Wheat

Abstract

Present study was carried out in the experimental field of the Field Crops Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Ankara University during 1999 and 2001. Two wheat cultivars, Gerek-79 and Gün-9, were studied to investigate the impacts of the removal of some photosynthetic structures including flag leaf, second upper leaf blade and awneds, on some yield related components. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block desing of split-plot restriction with four replications. According to results obtained, removal of flag leaf resulted approximately 13, 34, 24 % reduction in grain per spike, grain weight per spike and 1000-grain weight, respectively and 2.8% increase in grain protein contents in both years. Studies indicated that significant reductions in these traits and increases in grain protein contents resulted from removal second upper leaf blade and awneds
