In order to verify the “heat forced maturity” of wheat during the grain filling stage in Yangtze River valley,the materials were continuously treated at 21 days' “moderate high temperature” by the movable heating facility after anthesis in the field. Field components,quality of wheat and their relationship with nitrogen fertilizer under high temperature were investigated.Compared to the control,the grain number per spike and thousand kernel weight of the high treatments decreased by -6.0%,10.7%,11.3%,11.6% and 15.7%,18.9%,23.5%,15.7% under the nitrogen application amaunts of 0,135,180 and 225 kg·hm-2,respectively,and the protein content increased by 22.4%,27.5%,28.3% and 19.6%,respectively.Moreover,the content of wet gluten and sedimentation value increased by 14.6%,17.1%,17.7%,18.1% and 23.4%,17.5%,29.0%,21.8%,respectively,and extended dough development and stability time increased by 12.1%,259.5%,398.2%,322.6% and 172.2%,232.5%,220.1%,72.2%,respectively. The high temperature and nitrogen fertilizer application had significant effects on protein content,water absorption and dough development and stability time. Proper amount of nitrogen fertilizer enlarged the effects of high temperature on protein content and dough development and stability time,yet decreased the effects of high temperature on water absorption. It can be concluded that continuously high temperature after anthesis has negative effects on grain development and grain weight,but has positive effects on wheat quality. |
