| 2 | The effect of integrative crop management on root growth and methane emission of paddy rice显示文摘In previous studies, integrative crop management (ICM) improved shoot growth and grain yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.). However, little is known about the effect of ICM on root growth and methane (CH4) emission of paddy rice. In this study, two rice varieties, Wuyunjing 24 and Yongyou 2640, were grown. A field experiment was conducted with three crop management treatments including zero nitrogen fertilization (0N), local farmer practice (LFP), and ICM. Root morphophysiological traits and CH4 emission from the paddy field were investigated. ICM significantly increased mean grain yield by 29.9%, with the effect attributed mainly to an increase in mean total number of spikelets by 26.4% compared to LFP. ICM increased root and shoot biomass, root length, number of roots, root oxidation activity (ROA), root bleeding rate, and root total and active absorbing surface area by respectively 24.4%, 25.7%, 17.1%, 9.3%, 18.7%, 29.5%, 12.1%, and 24.7%. The concentrations of malic, succinic, and acetic acids in root exudates were respectively 5.8%, 6.0%, and 10.5% higher in ICM than in LFP. Compared to LFP, ICM significantly decreased the rate of CH4 emission during emission peak stages and reduced total CH4 emission by 17.1%. The root morphophysiological traits were positively and significantly correlated with grain yield, whereas root length, specific root length, ROA, and root total and active absorbing surface area were negatively and significantly correlated with total CH4 emission. These results suggest that ICM could achieve the dual goals of increasing grain yield and reducing the greenhouse gas effect by improving the root morphology and physiological traits of paddy rice. | Hao Zhang Hailang Liu Danping Hou Yilei Zhou Mengzhu Liu Zhiqin Wang Lijun Liu Junfei Gu Jianchang Yang | 2019 | The Crop Journal2019,7,4: | 8 |
| 3 | Blue revolution for food security under carbon neutrality: A case from the water-saving and drought-resistance rice显示文摘The increasing concentration of greenhouse gases(GHGs)in Earth's atmosphere leads to global warming,which further causes a series of climate changes and does great harm to both human society and natural ecosystems.Agricultural GHG emissions,mainly in theform of methane(CH4)and nitrous oxide(N2O),areasignificantsourceofGHGs,accountingfor~14%total global GHGs(Zhang et al.,2022).One major source of agricultural GHGs is CH4 emissions from rice paddies,which is responsiblefor~10%-12%ofhuman-inducedCH4emissions(van Groenigen et al.,2013)and contributes~2.40%to the enhanced global warming effect(Zhang et al.,2022).The global warming potential of GHGs emissions from rice systems is roughly four times higher than either wheat or maize(Linquist et al.,2012). | Hui Xia Xianxian Zhang Yi Liu Junguo Bi Xiaosong Ma Anning Zhang Hongyan Liu Liang Chen Sheng Zhou Huan Gao Kai Xu Haibin Wei Guolan Liu Feiming Wang Hongyang Zhao Xingxing Luo Danping Hou Qiaojun Lou Fangjun Feng Liguo Zhou Shoujun Chen Ming Yan Tianfei Li Mingshou Li LeiWang Zaochang Liu Xinqiao Yu HanweiMei Lijun Luo | 2022 | Molecular Plant2022,15,9: | 3 |
