1 Growth Regulator Effects on Flowering in Maize Eric Bumann July 14, 2008
2 My Background Research Associate at Pioneer Hi-Bred in Johnston, IA Production research 5 years in greenhouse research B.S. in Horticulture from ISU in 2002 Raised on a farm in Western Iowa
3 Purpose To evaluate the effects of different plant growth regulators on the life cycle of maize To determine if any inbred or timing effects vary amongst treatments To evaluate the practicality of possible growth regulator treatments in a greenhouse or field environment
4 Introduction Gibberellins (GA) Potential role as a regulator for flowering found in past genetic studies Dwarf mutants defective in GA biosynthesis flowered later than wild type (King & Evans, 2003) When GA applied the mutants flowered similar to the wild type (Evans & Poethig, 1995) Cytokinins Benzyladenine (BA) Used in fruit production to increase yield and fruit size Independent Pioneer research suggested promise for use as a early flower inducer in maize
5 Introduction Ethylene Linked to many plant processes (Davies, 1995) Release of dormancy Shoot and root growth differentiation Leaf and fruit abscission and senescence Flower induction Induction of femaleness in dioecious flowers Fruit ripening Liquid ethylene (ethephon) is widely used in many agricultural crops for a number of different purposes
6 Introduction Shoot apical meristem (SAM) Portion of the plant where the shoot is formed through cell division and differentiation (Medford, 1992) Three phases Vegetative Transition Reproductive Transition from vegetative to reproductive occurs around V5 stage in maize (Tranel et al., 2006)
7 Materials and Methods 4 inbred genotypes used 4 treatments (Ethephon, GA, BA, and control) 2 rates (1 low and 1 high for each PGR) 3 application timings (V3, V5, and V7) 5 Reps (1 plant per rep)
8 Materials and Methods Inbred A Used as a male in seed production 107 day RM Inbred B Used as a female in seed production 112 day RM Inbred C Used as a female in seed production 114 day RM Inbred D Used as both a male and female 114 day RM
9 Materials and Methods Chemicals Treatment 1: Ethephon: Florel Brand 3.9% Ethephon Treatment 2: GA: ProGibb 4% Gibberellic Acid GA3 Treatment 3: BA: MaxCel 1.9% 6-Benzyladenine Rates Florel Rate 1: 250 ppm / 6.35 ml per liter Rate 2: 1000 ppm / 25.4 ml per liter ProGibb Rate 1: 25 ppm / 0.74 ml per liter Rate 2: 100 ppm / 3 ml per liter MaxCel Rate 1: 50 ppm / 2.53 ml per liter Rate 2: 200 ppm / ml per liter
10 Materials and Methods Plants were seeded into 32 cell germination flats 2 weeks after sow date (late V2 stage) plants were selected for uniformity and transplanted into 2 gallon pots At transplant all pots received ½ tsp Osmocote fertilizer Plants also received 1 tsp of Marathon systemic insecticide and an additional 1 tsp of Osmocote 2 weeks after transplant
11 Experiment Design Inbreds were blocked in an east to west pattern Four rows within each inbred block represented each rep Two rows of each rep represented 1 rate The application timing was split into 3 blocks running east to west Chemical treatments were randomized within each rate/timing block Split-split-split-plot design
12 Experiment Design Inbred D Inbred C Inbred B Inbred A N = 1 individual pot receiving 1 treatment within 1 genotype/1 rep/1 application timing/1 rate
13 Left: Plants in germinating flats Right: Plants shortly after transplant
14 Materials and Methods When plants were at the appropriate growth stage (V3, V5, & V7) treatments were applied at both rates using a hand held spray bottle
15 Inbred A Rate 2 Timing 1 Inbred A Rate 2 Timing 3 Inbred C Rate 1 Timing 1 Inbred C Rate 1 Timing 3 Pictures taken approximately 1 month after transplant
16 Inbred A Rate 2 Timing 1 Inbred A Rate 2 Timing 3 Inbred C Rate 1 Timing 1 Inbred C Rate 1 Timing 3 Pictures taken just prior to harvest
17 Inbred A Rate 2 Timing 2 Inbred B Rate 2 Timing 2 Inbred C Rate 2 Timing 2 Inbred D Rate 2 Timing 2
18 Data Collected GDU to first silk GDU to first shed GDU to 95% shed Tassel size (scale of 1-9) Pollen score (scale of 1-9) Final plant height Final plant leaf number Other relevant comments/observations
19 Data GDUs calculated using the following formula GDUs = (tempmax + tempmin)/2 50 Statistical analysis showed no significant differences (P 0.05) between the different timings and rates of the chemicals Exception: Ethephon rate 2 was significant in delaying flowering when compared to rate 1 though both rates were significant when compared to all other treatments Data was then evaluated on the chemical level only Only ethephon was significant (P 0.05) with delaying silk and shed in all inbreds Exception: GA was significant with hastening GDU to silk in Inbred A only

27 Data Inbred D (across all rates and timings) GDU GDU Shed GDU Silk GDU 95% Shed Ethephon GA BA Control Treatment
28 Other Data Plant heights were greatly decreased with ethephon but were not effected by other treatments Ethephon produced smaller tassels with somewhat reduced pollen quality than the other treatments Leaf numbers were not changed between all treatments Ethephon produced an increase in poor quality silks and ears and all other treatments were similar to control
29 Conclusion Ethephon was the only PGR with any significant changes in flowering timing across all inbreds GA did produce a significant decrease in time to silking by 50 GDU in inbred A only Plant quality was greatly reduced in the ethephon treatments
30 Conclusion and Next Steps There may be some effect on GDU to silk emergence when applying GA for some inbreds Ethephon may help to delay flowering if rates can be adjusted to prevent plant quality issues As of now the Pioneer greenhouses are not planning any future research on these PGRs
