Influence of Spring Wheat Growing Conditions on Alpha-Amylase Activity in Grain

Abstract

The meteorological conditions in which organogenesis stages take place and hydrothermal regime can determine the phenotypic manifestation of quantitative signs, such as, for example, the activity of alpha-amylase. The purpose of our work was to determine what factors (temperature, precipitation, heterothermal coefficient) affect the enzyme activity, at what time of the vegetation, and in what way this influence is evident. The analysis of weather conditions and falling number (FN) for the period from 2011 to 2020 was carried out. Analysis of the FN value over 10 years showed that it can vary from 90 s to 429 s, and at that, the nature of its change is the same, regardless of whether we are considering one variety or the average value for a group of varieties. The correlation coefficient between the FN of a group of varieties and individual FN is 0.94-0.98. Generally, during the vegetation season, the alpha-amylase activity was influenced to a greater extent by the amount of precipitation than by temperature. This dependence is negative - an increase in precipitation leads to a decrease in the FN, and, consequently, to an increase in the enzyme activity. However, it was found that in different phases of ontogeny the influence of temperature and precipitation can be diametrically opposite.

Importance of humine preparation and organic fertilizers in improving the fertility of eroded typical gray soils

“…Arinushkina's manual on "Chemical analysis of soil" [7], the amount of microorganisms in soil was carried out according to D.G. Zvyagintsev's "Methods of soil microbiology and biochemistry" [11]. Experimental field studies were conducted under "Methods of field and vegetative experiments with cotton under irrigation conditions" and "Methods of conducting field experiments".…”

“…Population growth required a 60% increase in food production over the next 35 years. Scientifically based development of measures aimed at improving the efficiency of irrigated lands, protecting soil cover from degradation processes, preventing them and increasing its productivity is one of the urgent tasks [11][12][13]. From this point of view, in the cultivation of agricultural crops in the areas affected by irrigation erosion in Uzbekistan, scientific researches on increasing the fertility of the soil through the use of biopreparations, the use of modern invented agrotechnological biopreparations, including the obtaining of high fiber quality results from the cotton crop, are considered urgent.…”

Triticale potential model in the conditions of the Amur region

“…However, in order to obtain high and stable yields, an appropriate agricultural technique must be developed for it [10]. Modern models of farming consider the factors acting on cultivated plants -space, climatic, soil, biological, anthropogenic in mutual connection and dependence [11][12]. Yield is a product of the activity of genetic features inherent in the plant, climate, soil and people.…”
