Abstract

Two winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.)varieties differing in grain protein content, Wanmai 38 and Yangmai 9 potted in a greenhouse, were used to investigate the effects of soil drought (SRWC=45%-50%) and waterlogging beginning from 4 days after anthesis (DPA) on the activities of key regulatory enzymes of grain starch and protein accumulation. The results in both leaves and grains showed that the patterns of changes in the activities of enzymes were similar in the two varieties. Compared with CK (SRWC= 75%-80%) , sucrose content and sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) activity declined more markedly than amino acid content and glutamine synthetase (GS) activity under drought and waterlogging. Both drought and waterlogging resulted in decreases in the activities of sucrose synthase (SS) and granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS), and especially in that of soluble starch synthase (SSS). And more marked decreases in the activity of SS occurred under drought than under waterlogging. Compared with CK, GS and glutamate pyruvic aminotransferase (GPT) activities in grain decreased markedly under waterlogging, but decreased a little under drought. By correlation analyses, it was found that the SPS, SSS and GBSS activities were more closely correlated than SS to the yield and grain starch, and GS activity in grain was correlated to a lower degree to the yield and content of grain protein than GS in leaf and GPT in grain. Further analysis revealed that the changes in activity of key regulatory enzymes of grain starch and protein accumulation in source and sink organs of wheat were the main factors through which different post-anthesis soil water status affected grain starch and protein characters.
