中文摘要 | The tensile property of roots is an important factor for anchorage and for resistance to root lodging. In this study, a root tensile test was applied to maize (Zea mays L.) grown in the field at three planting densities, 4.5x10(4), 6.75x10(4) and 9.0x10(4) plants ha(-1), to quantify the maximum tensile force (F-max) and tensile strength (T-s) of roots at the V10 stage (tenth leaf visible) and grain-filling stage. In addition, relationships among tensile properties, diameter and turgid weight:dry weight (TW:DW) ratio of roots were investigated. The results showed that the F-max of primary and seminal adventitious roots was lower than of nodal roots. Among nodal roots, the F-max of roots on upper nodes was higher. Planting density significantly affected the tensile force of nodal roots of the sixth to eighth tiers; their F-max decreased with increasing planting density. A positive linear correlation between F-max and root diameter and a power function between T-s and root diameter was observed. In addition, there was a positive linear correlation between the TW/DW ratio and root diameter and a negative exponential correlation between T-s and TW:DW ratio. Therefore, nodal roots with a lower TW:DW ratio could have a larger T-s, because their cells are smaller and cell walls are thicker. This result suggests that nodal roots with small and thick cells benefit the tensile properties of maize. |
