Field Evaluation of Wheat Varieties Using Canopy Temperature Depression in Three Different Climatic Growing Seasons

During the breeding progress, screening excellent wheat varieties and lines takes lots of labor and time. Moreover, different climatic conditions will bring more complex and unpredictable situations. Therefore, the selection efficiency needs to be improved by applying the proper selection index. Thi...

description During the breeding progress, screening excellent wheat varieties and lines takes lots of labor and time. Moreover, different climatic conditions will bring more complex and unpredictable situations. Therefore, the selection efficiency needs to be improved by applying the proper selection index. This study evaluates the capability of CTD as an index for evaluating wheat germplasm in field conditions and proposes a strategy for the proper and efficient application of CTD as an index in breeding programs. In this study, 186 bread wheat varieties were grown in the field and evaluated for three continuous years with varied climatic conditions: normal, spring freezing, and early drought climatic conditions. The CTD and photosynthetic parameters were investigated at three key growth stages, canopy structural traits at the early grain filling stage, and yield traits at maturity. The variations in CTD among varieties were the highest in normal conditions and lowest in spring freezing conditions. CTD at the three growing stages was significantly and positively correlated for each growing season, and CTD at the middle grain filling stage was most significantly correlated across the three growing seasons, suggesting that CTD at the middle grain filling stage might be more important for evaluation. CTD was greatly affected by photosynthetic and canopy structural traits, which varied in different climatic conditions. Plant height, peduncle length, and the distance of the flag leaf to the spike were negatively correlated with CTD at the middle grain filling stage in both normal and drought conditions but positively correlated with CTD at the three stages in spring freezing conditions. Flag leaf length was positively correlated with CTD at the three stages in normal conditions but negatively correlated with CTD at the heading and middle grain filling stages in spring freezing conditions. Further analysis showed that CTD could be an index for evaluating the photosynthetic and yield traits of wheat germplasm in different environments, with varied characteristics in different climatic conditions. In normal conditions, the varieties with higher CTDs at the early filling stage had higher photosynthetic capacities and higher yields; in drought conditions, the varieties with high CTDs had better photosynthetic capacities, but those with moderate CTD had higher yield, while in spring freezing conditions, there were no differences in yield and biomass among the CTD groups. In sum, CTD could be used as an index to screen wheat varieties in specific climatic conditions, especially in normal and drought conditions, for photosynthetic parameters and some yield traits.
