Abstract Twenty five spring wheat genotypes were evaluated for terminal heat stress tolerance in field environments in the Agro Ecological Zone-11 of Bangladesh, during 2009-2010 cropping season. The experiments were conducted at Wheat Research Centre, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, using randomized block design with three replicates under non-stress (optimum sowing) and stress (late sowing) conditions. Seven selection indices for stress tolerance including mean productivity (MP), geometric mean productivity (GMP), tolerance (TOL), yield index (YI), yield stability index (YSI), stress tolerance index (STI) and stress susceptibility index (SSI) were calculated based on grain yield of wheat under optimum and late sowing conditions. The results revealed significant variations due to genotypes for all characters in two sowing conditions. Principal component analysis revealed that the first PCA explained 0.64 of the variation with MP, GMP, YI and STI. Using MP, GMP, YI and STI, the genotypes G-05 and G-22 were found to be the best genotypes with relatively high yield and suitable for both optimum and late heat stressed conditions. The indices SSI, YSI and TOL could be useful parameters in discriminating the tolerant genotypes (G-12, G-13, and G-14) that might be recommended for heat stressed conditions. It is also concluded from the present studies that biomass, grain filling rate and spikes number m-2 are suitable for selecting the best genotypes under optimum and late sowing conditions because these parameters are highly correlated with MP, GMP, YI and STI. However, high ground cover with long pre heading stage and having high grain filling rate would made a genotype tolerant to late heat to attain a high grain yield in wheat.

Phenological performance in relation to yield of wheat genotypes; BARI Gom 26, BAW 1051, BARI Gom 27 and BARI Gom 28 were evaluated under normal and heat stress environments. One irrigated timely sowing (ITS) and three irrigated late sowings (ILS) were imposed to provide terminal high temperature over the tested genotypes. The ITS was November 25 and three ILS were December 10, December 25 and January 10. In heat stress condition, the genotypes phased a significant level of high temperature stress which affected on phenological stage and yield compared to ITS. In ITS situation, days to anthesis and booting decreased in heat stress condition regardless the cultivars. The phenological characteristics under heat stressed condition led the wheat cultivars to significantly lower grain yield as compared to normal condition. In heat stress situations (Dec 10–Jan 10), the average grain yield was reduced by12.8 -39.8 % in BARI Gom 26, 14.4-29.7% in BAW 1051, 11.5-26.5% in BARI Gom 27 and 17.4-25.6 % in BARI Gom 28 in both the season. It was also observed that grain yield was found to be reduced by about 7.7-15.4% in BARI Gom 26, 9.4-15.7 % in BAW 1051, 9.4-12.4% in BARI Gom 27 and 9.7-12.0% in BARI Gom 28 from ITS for each 1°C rise in average mean air temperature during booting to maturity. On the other hand, reduction percent were less for the new varieties. Grain yield reduction was about 1.4 - 2.65% in BARI Gom 28, 0.1-6.7 % in BARI Gom 27 and 1.7-6.0% in BAW 1051.Bangladesh Agron.

ABSTRACT One of the biggest limitations for the wheat crop expansion to Brazilian tropical regions is the high temperature in the rainy season. This study aimed to select, based on genetic divergence and path analysis, cultivars that tolerate cultivation in the summer (heat stress). Nine wheat cultivars were sown, using a randomized block design with three replications, with plots consisting of 10 rows of 6 m and row spacing of 0.15 m. The highest grain yield and number of ears m-2 were observed for the CD 150 cultivar and the largest 1,000-grain weight for CD 116. BRS 220, IPR 136, IPR 144 and BRS Pardela had the highest number of sterile spikelets. The highest number of grains per ear was observed for CD 150, CD 116, BRS Pardela, IPR 130 and IPR 85, showing direct effects on grain yield, evidenced by the path analysis. CD 116 and CD 150 were the most productive cultivars and can be considered as possible parents in wheat breeding programs. IPR 85, CD 116, CD 108 and CD 150 showed a greater tolerance to high temperatures.

Abiotic stresses, such as heat, salt, waterlogging, and multiple-stress environments have significantly reduced wheat production in recent decades. There is a need to use effective strategies for overcoming crop losses due to these abiotic stresses. Fertilizer-based approaches are readily available and can be managed in all farming communities. This research revealed the effects of sulfur-coated urea (SCU, 130 kg ha−1, release time of 120 days) on wheat crops under heat, salt, waterlogging, and combined-stress climatic conditions. The research was done using a completely randomized design with three replicates. The results revealed that SCU at a rate of 130 kg of N ha−1 showed a significantly (p ≤ 0.05) high SPAD value (55) in the case of waterlogging stress, while it was the lowest (31) in the case of heat stress; the control had a SPAD value of 58. Stress application significantly (p ≤ 0.05) reduced the leaf area and was the highest in control (1898 cm2), followed by salt stress (1509 cm2), waterlogging (1478 cm2), and heat stress (1298 cm2). A significantly (p ≤ 0.05) lowest crop yield was observed in the case of heat stress (3623.47 kg ha−1) among all stresses, while it was 10,270 kg ha−1 in control and was reduced up to 35% after the application of heat stress. Among all stresses, the salt stress showed the highest crop yield of 5473.16 kg ha−1. A significant correlation was observed among growth rate, spike length, yield, and physiological constraints with N content in the soil. The SCU fertilizer was the least effective against heat stress but could tolerate salt stress in wheat plants. The findings suggested the feasibility of adding SCU as an alternative to normal urea to alleviate salt stresses and improve wheat crop growth and yield traits. For heat stress tolerance, the applicability of SCU with a longer release period of ~180 days is recommended as a future prospect for study.

Accumulated heat unit and phenology of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars were studied under normal and late sowing heat stress conditions by seeding them on November 30 and December 30, 2006. November 30 sowing was considered as normal sowing condition, whereas December 30 sowing was regarded as late sowing heat stress condition. Four heat tolerant wheat cultivars, Gourab, Sourav, Kanchan and Shatabdi and two heat sensitive cultivars, Sonora and Kalyansona were used as study materials. The results indicated that the number of days required to attain different phenological stages with late growing condition. For all the phenological stages plants of normal sowing condition needed higher heat units than the late sowing condition. At the earlier phenological stages phenothermal indices decreased with late sowing compared to normal sowing but increased at the later stages. At normal sowing condition all the cultivars showed higher heat use efficiencies compared to late sowing condition. The heat tolerant cultivars, Gourab, Sourav, Kanchan and Shatabdi exihited better performance in phenology, growing degree day, helio-thermal unit and finally used heat more efficiently than the heat sensitive cultivars, Sonora and Kalyansona. Key words: Wheat, phenology and heat use efficiency. DOI: 10.3329/jard.v7i1.4422 J Agric Rural Dev 7(1&2), 57-64, June 2009

Abstract India, the second most populated country and the largest wheat producer worldwide, is vulnerable to global warming especially heat stress. In the present investigation, the doubled haploid population derived from PBW343/IC252478 cross was characterized for various phenotypic and morpho-physiological traits and subjected to stability analysis under heat stress conditions. These lines were planted on a single location i.e., Agricultural farm of Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University, India for two successive seasons 2017/2018 and, 2018/2019 under three different sowing dates (Controlled or timely, late and, very late sown conditions). Here, the location preferred for this study was because it represents a hotspot for wheat production and the major constraint for the wheat grower is inclining heat stress. The alpha lattice design was used for the current investigation with three replicates. The overall objective of this study was to identify the ideal double haploid lines for heat-stressed conditions. The results revealed that heat stress had a significant adverse impact on all considered traits contributed to overall yield losses of about 50%. Stability measurements, and genotype × environment interaction (GGE), were useful tools to determine the ideal lines for late sowing (heat stressed condition) and very late sowing condition (terminal heat stress). Therefore, in the ranking of genotypes for both mean yield and stability performance across the six environments, DH 71, DH 150, DH 64, DH 138, DH 98, DH 84, DH 62, DH 104, DH 74, DH 3, DH 104, DH 107 & DH 156 were ranked closest to ideal genotype, these were highly adapted, most stable, heat tolerant and high yielding lines indicating them as the most desirable genotypes out of 167 lines studied. Hence, the physiological traits SPAD index (Soil plant analysis development) and Canopy temperature (CT) can be used effectively to screen out the line for heat tolerance. In addition, the stable wheat genotypes identified could be used in the future wheat breeding programs.

ABSTRACTWheat crop in Nepal faces terminal heat stress which accelerates the gain filling rate and shortens the filling period which leads to reduced grain weight, size, number, quality that is yield loss. For minimization of this loss, genotypic selection of high yielding lines should be performed understanding the gene-environment interaction. With the view to obtain a high yielding line with stable performance across the environments an experiment was conducted using 18 elite wheat line and 2 check varieties in alpha lattice design (2 replication and 5 blocks per replication) in different environments viz. irrigated and terminal heat stressed environment. The analysis of variance revealed that genotype, environment and their interaction had highly significant effect on the yield. Furthermore, which-won–where model indicated specific adaptation of elite lines NL-1179, NL-1420, BL-4407, NL-1368 to irrigated environment and BL-4919 and NL-1350 to terminal heat-stressed environment. Similarly, Mean-versus-stability study indicated that elite line BL-4407, NL-1368, BL-4919, NL-1350 and NL-1420 had above average yield and higher stability whereas elite lines Gautam, NL-1412, NL-1376, NL-1387, NL-1404 and N-1381 had below average yield and lower stability. Also, ranking elite lines biplot, PCA1 explaining 73.6% and PCA2 explaining 26.4% of the interaction effect, showed the rank of elite line, NL-1420 > NL-1368> NL-1350 > other lines, close to ideal line. From these findings, NL-1420 with high yield and stability can be recommended across both the environment while NL-1179 is adapted specifically for irrigated and NL-1350 adapted specifically for terminal heat-stressed environment.
