The Yield and Quality Formation of Wheat Induced by Exogenous Strigolactones in Drought Condition

Abstract

Drought is one of the major disasters affecting wheat. The change of wheat yield and quality directly affects the global population diet health. In this study, Strigolactones (SL) were sprayed on the leaf surface to study the relationship between wheat photosynthesis, nitrogen transport and yield and quality formation, further clarifying the influence of Sl on the synergic formation of yield and quality. The results showed that Sl could promote the accumulation of photosynthetic pigments in leaves, reduce nitrogen content in aging leaves and improve nitrogen transport level, then promote the improvement of grain yield and quality, so as to provide a reference for the application of Sl in wheat stress-resistant cultivation.
