Problems solved by technology

Heat stress for a short period after silking may also lead to kernel abortion and reduced kernel number (Sehgal et al., 2018)
[0004] Maize yield traits are a comprehensive trait. Maize yield is affected by a series of climatic factors and soil environment during reproductive development including light, temperature and soil moisture content. Even under relatively stable high temperature treatment, the differences of other meteorological factors in different years ( Such as drought) will also cause greater variability in yield among varieties, and then have different impacts on yield. Therefore, screening for high temperature resistance traits through yield traits must be carried out in field experiments at multiple points for many years, and only 1 to 2 It is difficult to screen out stable and reliable high temperature resistant corn materials during the growing season

Embodiment 1

[0022] Example 1 Correlation analysis between flowering characteristics and seed setting rate under high temperature environment

[0023] In 2019, the corn material was sown at the end of May, and 2 replicates were set up, arranged in random blocks, and 20 plants were planted in each replicate. The flowering period of the material is between the end of July and the first ten days of August, and the average daily maximum temperature during this period is 35.6℃. Correlation analysis was carried out on the flowering characteristics of 20 inbred lines (Table 1) under the high temperature treatment at the sowing date and the self-seeding rate of the materials. Pollen vigor (correlation coefficient 0.59) was significantly positively correlated, significantly negatively correlated with loose powder spinning interval (correlation coefficient -0.53), and other traits were not significantly correlated (Table 2).

Embodiment 2

[0028] Embodiment 2 Screening of flowering characteristic index under high temperature environment

[0029] The flowering characteristics obtained in Example 1 with a high correlation with the self-seeding rate were selected to further determine the indicators of each characteristic.

[0030] From the perspective of yield reduction under high temperature stress, the number of grains per ear was selected as the final reference index for breeding. Therefore, the self-seeding rate ≥ 75% was used as the screening standard for high temperature resistant materials. If the standard is too high, it is difficult to select the materials that meet the standard. If the standard is too low, the production reduction will be too serious, and there will be no value in production. The establishment of this indicator also takes into account the risk of yield reduction that can be endured by field-produced varieties under adversity stress and the scarcity of high-temperature resistant materials...

Embodiment 3

[0043] Example 3 The heat resistance identification of 210 DH series materials using the screening index of Kaihua characteristics

[0044]On June 25, 2020, 210 corn DH lines (DH lines are pure lines generated by haploid breeding technology) were planted. The specific information and sources are shown in Table 7. And these DH series materials were identified for high temperature resistance, and the tasseling time of 210 materials was from August 10th to August 23rd. During this period, the average daily maximum temperature at the test station was 35.2 °C. The pollen viability, the rate of bracts spun out of filaments and the interval of loose filaments spun out of these materials were counted. According to the identification criteria of Kaihua characteristics determined in Example 1 and Example 2 (pollen vigor ≥ 50%, bract spit rate ≥ 75%, and loose powder spinning interval ≤ 2 days), preliminarily judged heat-resistant materials, a total of 26 copies , see Table 8 for detai...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of maize breeding, and in particular relates to a method for screening maize high temperature resistant materials based on flowering characteristics. The technical scheme includes the following steps: a. sowing the material to be screened so that it is in a high temperature weather during the flowering period; b. measuring the pollen viability, the rate of filaments spit out bracts and the interval between loose powder and silking of the material to be screened during the flowering period; c. , Select the material with pollen vigor ≥40%, filament spouting bract leaf rate ≥75% and loose powder spinning interval ≤4 days as high temperature resistant material. The method provided by the present invention can identify and screen high temperature resistant maize materials, which can be screened based on traits in early flowering characteristics, and can shorten time and cost. Moreover, the method has high accuracy and efficiency, and solves the problems of difficulty in screening and identification of heat-resistant maize materials, low efficiency and poor repeatability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of maize breeding, and in particular relates to a method for screening maize high temperature resistant materials based on flowering characteristics. Background technique [0002] Climate warming is a global hotspot, and temperatures are expected to rise by 0.3–6.4°C by the end of the 21st century (IPCC, 2014), which will negatively impact agricultural production (Ju et al., 2013; Challinor et al., 2014). Extreme high temperature mostly occurs in the reproductive process of maize (Zea mays L.), because the sensitivity of maize reproductive stage to high temperature is significantly greater than that of vegetative stage, which greatly reduces the number of crop kernels, resulting in severe yield reduction (Hedhly et al., 2009; Wang et al., 2019; Lohani et al.; 2020). Among all growth stages, the flowering stage is the most sensitive stage to the heat effect, and high temperature during the flowering stage ha...
