Drought stress effects on quality and grain composition in four hybrid maize varieties with different stomatal resistance

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate transpiration and its effects on grain quality in some maize hybrids under drought stress conditions. Material and Methods: The experiment was conducted using three irrigation levels-60 mm (control), 90 mm (moderate drought stress), and 120 mm (severe drought stress) of evaporation from a class A pan-applied to four maize hybrids: KSC 703, KSC 704, KSC 705, and KSC 706. This study was set up with three replications, carried out at Seed and Plant Improvement Institute (SPII), Karaj, Iran during 2015 and 2016 growing seasons. Results: The results indicated that under drought stress conditions, the levels of crude fiber and ash increased, while starch content decreased. The KSC 706 hybrid exhibited the lowest stomatal resistance and canopy temperature, and the highest grain starch content, averaging 64.84%. These findings suggest that increased stomatal opening and transpiration are associated with improved maize grain quality. Conclusion: Based on the findings, in regions where irrigation water is available and a higher starch content in grain is a priority, the KSC 706 hybrid is recommended.

Farklı stoma direncine sahip dört hibrit mısır çeşitinde kuraklık stresinin verim ve tane bileşimi üzerine etkisi

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışma, kuraklık stresi koşullarında bazı hibrit mısır çeşitlerinde transpirasyonu ve bunun tane kalitesine etkisini değerlendirmek amacıyla yürütülmüştür.. Materyal ve Yöntem: Araştırma, dört farklı hibrit mısır çeşiti (KSC 703, KSC 704, KSC 705 ve KSC 706) kullanılarak, A sınıfı buharlaşma kabından uygulanan üç farklı sulama düzeyinde — 60 mm (kontrol), 90 mm (orta düzey kuraklık stresi) ve 120 mm (şiddetli kuraklık stresi) — yürütülmüştür. Deneme, İran’ın Karaj kentinde yer alan Tohum ve Bitki Islahı Enstitüsü (SPII)'nde 2015 ve 2016 yetiştirme sezonlarında üç tekerrürlü olarak kurulmuştur. Araştırma Bulguları: Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, kuraklık stresi koşullarında ham selüloz ve kül içeriği artarken, nişasta oranı azalmıştır. KSC 706 melezi, en düşük stoma direnci ve kanopi sıcaklığı ile birlikte ortalama %64,84 ile en yüksek tane nişasta içeriğini göstermiştir. Bu bulgular, artan stoma açıklığı ve terlemenin, mısır tanelerinde kaliteyi artırıcı bir etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Sonuç: Araştırma bulgularına göre, sulama suyunun temin edilebilir olduğu ve yüksek tane nişasta içeriğinin öncelikli hedeflendiği bölgelerde, KSC 706 hibrit mısır çeşiti önerilmektedir
