Abstract:

In order to explore the key factors affecting stem strength and screen the valuable parent resources for wheat "strong stem breeding" ,72 wheat varieties(lines)were used as materials.Firstly,the strength of stems in flowering stage,filling stage and milk stage of wheat was comprehensively analyzed and all the materials were grouped into clusters.On this basis,the genetic variation of lignin content,cellulose content and microstructure of wheat stem and their relation with stem strength were further analyzed,and the key characters related to stem strength were defined.In addition,principal component analysis(PCA)was used to extract the main factors of stem cross section microstructure,and calculate the score of comprehensive factors,and further cluster analysis was carried out combined with lignin and cellulose content,so as to comprehensively evaluate the performance of stem strength related traits of different wheat varieties(lines).The results showed that the mechanical tissue thickness decreased significantly or extremely significant at the same time as the strength of wheat stem weakened from flowering stage to filling stage.Moreover,parenchyma thickness,mechanical tissue thickness,large vascular bundle area,lignin and cellulose content in high stem strength wheat were much higher than those in low stem strength wheat.Correlation analysis also showed that mechanical tissue thickness,large vascular bundle area,lignin and cellulose content were significantly of extremely significantly correlated with stem strength.Finally,the lignin content,cellulose content and the main component comprehensive factor scores of the stem microstructure were used as three variables for cluster analysis,and a total of 18 wheat materials with outstanding performance in the stem microstructure and biochemical indicators were screened out.These wheat materials can be used as important genetic resources for wheat "strong stem breeding".

Key words: Wheat, Strong stem breeding, Stem strength, Microstructure, Lignin content, Cellulose content
