Abstract:

A gradient quantitative water control experiment was conducted with six hybrid rice combinations to simplify the technical system of the comprehensive evaluation of water conservation and drought resistance of hybrid rice combinations and their application in breeding. Observation records and traditional seed testing methods were employed to obtain yield data and other agronomic parameters. Based on the mapping and area algorithm of drought resistance index of each trait, five composite indexes of drought resistance involving multi gradient and multi traits were constructed by using five primary trait indexes, including yield and its component traits, sowing to heading days and harvest index. The five composite indexes were Y-PFK (the index of yield and its component), Y-HDD (the index of yield and the delayed effect of heading date), Y-HI (the index of yield and harvest index), CI1 (the comprehensive index 1) and CI2 (the comprehensive index 2). Each combination's five composite indexes were computed, and their mapping was analyzed. The results have shown that CI1, CI2, Y-PFK positively impacted the tested combinations' comprehensive evaluation of water conservation and drought resistance and were consistent with the actual field experience observation. The comprehensive evaluation of water conservation and drought resistance of the six hybrid rice combinations were as follows: ‘Hanliangyou 8' > (‘Yayou Hanhe' > ‘Hanyou 737') > (‘Hanyou 73' > ‘Quanyou 116' > ‘Quan 9you 86'). The research findings demonstrate that the multi-gradient and multi-traits composite indexes of drought resistance, Y-PFK, CI1 and CI2, are appropriate for comprehensively evaluating rice's water conservation and drought resistance. These are simplified indicators for the comprehensive assessment and sequencing of water conservation and drought resistance of hybrid rice combinations by only using conventional seed testing data. These composite indexes can be applied to rice breeding for water conservation and drought resistance.
