1 Rice panicle temperature and crop microclimate in stressfull thermal environments: towards a model of spikelet sterility Cécile Julia PhD directed by Michael Dingkuhn (CIRAD) and Folkard Asch (Hohenheim University)

2 CONTEXT Global: l Climate Change RISOCAS project (Hohenheim university) + CIRAD My PhD study: Thermal stress at the reproductive stage for floaded rice 2 main sensitive stages : cold at the early microspore stage (disruption of meiosis) and at flowering (failure of panicle exsersion) heat at the flowering (affects pollination and fertilization processes) STERILITY PREVIOUS STUDIES ISSUES

3 Chilling at the young microspore stage: 1) Irrigated rice sowing date experiment in semi-arid environment at Ndiaye, Sénégal é (ARC) Problem of Tb: - Using air T, model-fitted Tb was C - Using microclimatic corrections, it was 9-12 C - Calculation of thermal time is prone to errors (Dingkuhn and al., 1995) 2) Irrigated rice in Japan (Shimono and al., 25) Spikelet sterility is better predicted using panicle temperature (Tp) = f(culm position) = combination of water temperature (Tw) and air temperature (Ta) Microclimate + Organs Temperature = parameters to be taken into account

4 Heat at the flowering stage (anthesis) AirT and plant organst can differ a lot under stressing thermal conditions Irrigated rice in Senegal (dry season 21) 45 4 Ta (panicle layer) Ta (2m) 35 3 Ta (canopy) Tdry Tpanicle Tflagleaf mpérature ( C) 25 2 Twater Twet Te Environnement 18/5/21, 12:44 Rad= W/M² RH = 22%, ws= 3.8 m/s Position par rapport au sol (cm) Panicle Temperature «Key» parameter

5 SCIENTIFIC APPROACH OF THE ISSUES What are the relationships between climate, microclimate, canopy structure, and organs temperature at sensitive stages? What are the links with the sterility and yield loss observed at maturity? 1) EXPERIMENTING IN THE FIELD In climatically contrasting sites For 7 contrasting varieties 2) CREATING A GREAT DATASET 3) ANALYSING 4) MODELLING (CIRAD SAMARA) The relationships G E
