Six wheat genotypes including two diploid wheat,two tetraploid wheat and two hexaploid genotypes
were used to evaluate the effect of dry matter translocation on grain yield formation and its regulation mechanism.
The results indicated that drought stress significantly reduced grain yield of wheat. Compared with sufficient water
supply,the grain yields of Triticum boeoticum,T. monococcum,T. dicoccoides,T. dicoccon,Xiaoyan 22,
Changhan 58 were reduced by 48.00%,37.93%,40.19%,38.77%,19.58% and 16.11%,respectively,under
drought condition. Compared with diploid and tetraploid wheat,the grain yield of hexaploid wheat was more stable.The grain yield of hexaploid wheat was significantly higher than that of diploid and tetraploid wheat. Drought stress
significantly reduced the dry matter translocation amount and accumulation,compared with sufficient water supply
conditions. Dry matter translocation amount before anthesis was decreased by 29%,27%,30%,14%,3% and 8%
in Triticum boeoticum,T. monococcum,T. dicoccoides,T. dicoccon,Xiaoyan 22,and Changhan 58. The accumula-
tion after anthesis was decreased by 59%,42%,44%,45%,23% and 17% in Triticum boeoticum,T. monococ-
cum,T. dicoccoides,respectively. However,drought stress had different effects on the dry matter translocation rate
and contribution rate in wheat with different genotypes. Compared with sufficient water supply conditions,the dry
matter translocation rate of Triticum boeoticum,T. monococcum,T. dicoccoides,T. dicoccon,Xiaoyan 6,and
Changhan 58 was reduced by 40%,38%,36%,6%,-16% and -17% before anthesis. The contribution rate was
decreased by 43%,37%,15%,26%,20% and 11%,respectively,and the dry matter contribution rate was in-
creased by 5%,-3%,13%,6%,2% and 2% after anthesis. Interestingly,the chlorophyll content,dry matter
translocation capacity and antioxidant defense capacity in the hexaploid wheat were higher than those in the other
wheat with different genotypes under drought stress. These results indicated that dry matter translocation and accu-
mulation were key factors in grain yield formation. Higher dry matter translocation and accumulation under drought
stress environment were associated with higher chlorophyll content,antioxidant defense ability and larger vascular
bundle transport capacity to affect wheat yield.
