Abstract: The research was carried out on the relationships between physiological characteristics and spike kernel weight of different types by using new big kernel wheat strain Lankao 86(79) (source-limiting type)、Yumai 18 (sink-limiting type) and new big spike wheat strain Huang 8124 (source-sink-interacting type) as test materials. The main results was as follows: (1) The sources formation and development of source-limiting type and source-sink-interacting type varieties is more reasonable than sink-limiting type one. They have bigger photosynthetic superiority, longer continued time of leaf area, higher photosynthetic reduction efficiency, stronger photosynthetic property of leaves.(2) Source-limiting type and source-sink-interacting type varieties grain weight increases quickly, their spike characters are superior to sink-limiting type one. (3) Leaves of source-limiting type variety、leaf sheaths of source-sink-interacting type one、stem of sink-limiting type one contribute more to kernel's increasing weight than other organs. (4) Kernel milking speed of source-limiting type and source-sink-interacting type varieties increases quickly in earlier stage and decreases slowly in later stage, it presented significant positive correlation between grain weight and milking speed, but to the sink-limiting type variety, this correlation isn't evident.
