Abstract:

In order to explore the relationship between soluble sugar content and grain starch content of spring barley,Mengpi 3 and Mengpi 5 were used as test materials,and four density treatments of 3.75,4.50,5.25,6.00 million plants/ha were set.The dynamic changes of soluble sugar and starch content in leaves,stems and grains during grain filling of barley under different planting densities were studied from 2018 to 2019.Its effect on the formation of grain starch components was analyzed.The results showed that the soluble sugar content in leaves,stems and grains of 2 years and 2 varieties showed a unimodal curve with the grain filling process,and the peak value appeared on 21 days after anthesis.With the increase of planting density,the soluble sugar content in leaves,stems and grains was increased first and then decreased,with the increase of planting density,and the peak value was 5.25 million plants/ha treatment.The contents of total starch,amylose and amylopectin in grains of 2 varieties in 2 years increased gradually with the filling process,increased first and then decreased with the increase of planting density,and the peak value was 5.25 million plants/ha treatment.Correlation analysis showed that there was a very significant positive correlation between the soluble sugar content of leaves,stems and grains at each filling stage and the starch component content of grains at maturity;the path analysis showed that the soluble sugar content of leaves,stems and grains at 21 days.After anthesis had the greatest effect on the total starch content of grains at maturity,and the path coefficients reached 1.002 3,0.580 4 and 0.745 5,respectively.The soluble sugar contents of leaves,stems and grains at 35 days after anthesis and 7 days after anthesis were the most affected on amylose content,and the path coefficients were 0.776 6,0.469 7 and 0.715 6,respectively.The soluble sugar content of leaves at 21 days after anthesis,stems at 7 days after anthesis and grains at 14 days after anthesis had the greatest effect on the amylopectin content of grains at maturity.The path coefficients were 1.046 9,0.638 2 and 0.775 6,respectively.5.25 million plants/ha was the most suitable planting density to increase the content of starch components in barley grains.The soluble sugar content of stem and grain at the beginning of grain filling 7 d after anthesis is of great significance to improve the yield and quality of barley.
