- Abstract
Currently, the main maize production areas in northeastern China are facing soil fertility loss, which severely affects root growth and limits photosynthesis. It is widely acknowledged that physiological conditions of the root system are closely related to the photosynthetic capacity; therefore, we evaluated whether there are certain differences in root bleeding sap characteristics and photosynthetic capacity between the hybrids and their parents. The results showed that heterosis of the photosynthetic capacity occurred at the milk-ripe stage; however, heterosis of bleeding-sap mass (BSM) and organic biomass occurred during the whole growth period. Photosynthetic rate correlated positively with BSM and the bleeding components; a similar trend was also observed between BSM and bleeding components. These data suggested that appropriate water and fertilizer supply can improve the photosynthesis-related parameters and yield of maize.
