10 FIELD RESEARCH Functional Physiological Framework Plant Biomass (BM) Plant N Uptake (PNU) Leaf Area Index (LAI) (LAI)

11 Physiological N adaptations: Vegetative Period GAP #1: At equivalent LAI, N storage capacity is mainly reduced as the N supply was diminished, regardless density and genotypes. Minor ∆Maximum LAI GAP #1: GAP #1: Is the N storage more affected than Leaf Expansion? Ciampitti et al. (2013, Vegetative NUE, Crop Science 53:2105-2119) © IA Ciampitti, K-State Univ

12 GAP #2: GAP #2: Are the leaf and stem mass and N ratios modified? 0N 112N 224N Nitrogen rate Plant density PD1 PD2 PD3 V15 Stage R1 Stage Dry Mass Ratio (g g -1 ) i. Leaf to Stem Ratios at Equivalent Stage N Uptake Ratio (g g -1 ) 0N 112N 224N Plant density PD1 PD2 PD3 V15 Stage R1 Stage 0.50 0.44 1.0 1.7 Ciampitti et al. (2013, Vegetative NUE, Crop Science 53:2105-2119) © IA Ciampitti, K-State Univ Leaf:Stem Dry Mass Ratio increased (+leaf vs. stem) as plant density increased. Leaf:Stem N Uptake increased as plant density increased, but also as N is more deficient. Leaf:Stem Dry Mass Ratio increased (+leaf vs. stem) as plant density increased. Leaf:Stem N Uptake increased as plant density increased, but also as N is more deficient. Physiological N adaptations: Vegetative Period

13 ii. Leaf and Stem at Comparable Mass Level GAP #2: At equivalent mass, dry mass partition was not affected, but with detrimental influence over the plant %N components. Stem Mass= 2/3 Total Plant Leaf Mass= 1/3 Total Plant Physiological N adaptations: Vegetative Period Ciampitti et al. (2013, Vegetative NUE, Crop Science 53:2105-2119)

14 Potential and Actual Kn GAP #3: GAP #3: Effect over potential kernel number and failure rate? C and N Allocation Plant Density Physiological N adaptations: Reproductive Period GAP #3: Minimum impact over PKn, large over KFR. The KFR’s behavior is tightly related to ear C and N gains.

15 GAP #4: GAP #4: Effects over Vegetative and Reproductive N uptake versus the Reproductive Shoot N remobilization rate. Slope ~0.70X (0-112N) ~0.64X (224N) Intercepts ~2.3 (0N) ~2.7 (112-224N) Slope -0.31X (0N) -0.64X (112N) -0.96X (224N) © IA Ciampitti, K-State Univ Ciampitti et al. (2013, Reproductive NUE, Crop Science 53:2588-2602). Physiological N adaptations: Reproductive Period

16 NUE: Physiological explanation NUE(isolines) 22 26 28 30 32 Plant Biomass Grain %N Plant Biomass and Grain %N Superior NUE resulted from combinations of higher GY and lower grain %N regardless the treatment factors evaluated. © IA Ciampitti, K-State Univ

17 General Conclusions -From the review analysis: -i) newer hybrids presented greater tolerance to N deficiency and responsiveness as the N rate applied increased as compared to older materials -ii) superior NUE (also NIE) for newer materials can be explained by a lowering grain %N as compared to older genotypes. severe stresses -Under severe stresses (crowding intensity and N deficiency intensifies): Vegetative Period Vegetative Period Reproductive Period Reproductive Period = LAI, ↓ N uptake capacity, ↓ ↓ stem N reservoir, minor leaf %N minor PKn, ↓ ↓ KFR, ↓ N uptake, ↑ early Shoot N Remobilization © IA Ciampitti, K-State Univ

18 Future Paths (plant perspective) Increase overall maize N uptake (NUE) Vegetative 1- Vegetative N uptake (A- improvements in LAI by density changes or B- increasing leaf number or size) Reproductive 2- Reproductive N uptake i) Changes in Sink Strength, Grain %N (Protein zein/glutelin) ii) Changes in NHI (trait stability under low N uptake levels) iii) Prolific hybrids with functional stay green trait iv) Flexible traits: to overcome the reported N uptake trade-off v) Study using maize landraces for natural NHI variability © IA Ciampitti, K-State Univ

19 At plant-scale: Vegetative N vs. Grain Yield Vegetative N status was tightly related to the final per-plant grain yield achieved at maturity.

22 N allocation to the Ear GAP #3: GAP #3: ii. Is the ear strength associated with N allocation? Reproductive N Uptake EAR STRENGTH= Kn * (Kw/TT from silking to maturity ) Kn= Kernel Number, Kw=Kernel Weight, TT= thermal time units High stress scenario: 0N plus HPD High stress scenario: 0N plus HPD Ignacio Antonio Ciampitti Ph.D.’s Defense June 18 th, 2012 Gaps: ReviewField experimentResultsConclusionFuture Paths
