The influence of CCC (2-chloroethyltrimethylammonium chloride) and temperature on dry matter and assimilate accumulation in wheat

Abstract: The effect of CCC m controlling plant height during internode elongation and assimilate accumulation, during grain filling and at grain maturity, was investigated in plants growing under three temperature regimes. With increasing temperature the plants matured earlier and the maximum height achieved became smaller. The effectiveness of CCC in controlling internode elongation was reduced. Analysis of the distribution of 14C-labelled compounds assimilated as 14CO2 by the flag leaves after ear emergence, showed n… Show more

“…2-chloroethyl-trimethylammonium chloride) reduces the length, but does not reduce the weight of the wheat culm. This phenomenon relates to the anatomical effects of retardants, mainly to the simultaneous thickening of the culm and increasing its diameter, while the length of the internodes is shortened (Lowe and Carter, 1972;Sanvicente et al, 1999;Tripathi et al, 2003;Zając 1987). Consequently, straw yield is reduced (Rebetzke et al, 2011).…”

“…Applications of growth inhibitors to tomatoes (Abdalla and Verkerk, 1970), which are known to respond to high night temperatures by rapid stem elongation (Went, 1941), were less effective In inhibiting stem growth at higher temperatures than at lower temperatures. A similar response was noted with wheat (Lowe and Carter, 1972). These results sug gest that at higher temperatures GA production or turnover, or the sensi tivity of the plant to GA, was greater than at lower temperatures.…”

“…(2006). This decrease has been linked to an increased sink capacity and an increase in competition between potential grain sites in wheat crops by Lowe and Carter (1972) and Green et al . (1985) noted that chlormequat application reduced the rate of grain growth in the post anthesis period and instead caused redistribution of post anthesis assimilate into non-reproductive organs.…”
