Abstract:
      To study changing characteristics of spring wheat leaf water potential under different water stresses and its relationship with environmental factors, a water stress test was conducted on spring wheat at the jointing\|heading stage at the Dingxi Arid Meteorological and Ecological Environment Test Station in Gansu Province. The results showed that with the increase of water stress, the leaf water potential of spring wheat gradually decreased. The leaf water potential under different water stresses was jointing stage> booting stage > heading stage. The leaf water potential of spring wheat had a threshold response to the soil volumetric water content. When the soil volumetric water content was greater than 11.5%, the leaf water potential changed with the soil volumetric water content in a positive correlation, and when the soil volume water content was less than 11.5%, it changed in a negative correlation. Among many environmental factors, two factors of relative atmospheric humidity, atmospheric water potential showed good linear relationship with spring wheat leaf water potential. Path analysis indicated that the strongest factor affecting leaf water potential under mild drought treatment was relative atmospheric humidity. The relative atmospheric humidity of (51.87±0.03)% could be used as the critical threshold for changes in leaf water potential under mild drought treatment. The strongest factor influencing leaf water potential under medium and severe drought treatment was atmospheric water potential. The atmospheric water potential of -99.22±8.63 MPa could be used as the critical threshold for changes in leaf water potential under medium and severe drought treatments. This study has provided a theoretical basis for ensuring timely water supply and reducing drought risk to maintain normal growth of spring wheat.
