Five species of Bipolaris and two species of Drechslera associated with leaf blight disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) have been described. The associated fungi were Bipolaris cynodontis (Marig.) Shoemaker, B. oryzae (Breda De Haan) Shoemaker, B. sorokiniana (Sacc.) Shoemaker, B. tetramera (Mckinney) Shoemaker, B. victoriae (Meehan & Murphy) Shoemaker, Drechslera dematioidea (Bub. & Wrob.) Subram. & Jain and D. hawaiiensis (Bugnicourt) ex M.B. Ellis; Subram. & Jain. Journal of Bangladesh Academy of Sciences, Vol. 43, No. 1, 11-16, 2019

The regulation of sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS, E.C. 2.4.1.14), a key enzyme of sucrose synthesis, was investigated in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) leaves. Wheat SPS was activated in the light, with an increased affinity for its substrates and the activator glucose-6-phosphate, reduced sensitivity to inhibition by Pi, but no change in maximum catalytic activity. Based on these properties, assays to measure the total activity and activation state of the enzyme were established and validated using several different wheat cultivars, grown under different environmental conditions. As found in previous studies on other species, e.g. spinach, activation appeared to be linked to the prevailing rate of photosynthesis rather than light per se. Long-term exposure to higher light levels increased total SPS activity in the leaves, and some experiments indicated that this response could occur within 1 h of exposure of low-light-grown plants to high light. However, activation of pre-existing enzyme was a more common short-term response to high light. Wheat, like many important cereal species, stores a large amount of sucrose in its leaves. In contrast with spinach, which stores more starch in its leaves, accumulation of sucrose in wheat leaves did not lead to inactivation of SPS or inhibition of sucrose synthesis. In conclusion, the mechanisms linking the rates of sucrose synthesis and photosynthetic CO2 fixation in wheat leaves appear to be similar to those in other species, but the mechanisms involved in short-term feedback inhibition of sucrose synthesis by sucrose, found in starch-storing species, are lacking in wheat.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), a C3 species, and Japanese millet (Echinochloa frumentacea Link), a C4 species, were grown in pots in monoculture and mixed culture (2 C3 : 1 C4 and 1 C3:2 C4) at two ambient partial pressures of CO2 (320 and 640 μbar), two photosynthetic photon flux densities (PPFDs) (daily maximum 2000 and 500 �mol m-2 s-1) and two levels of nitrogen nutrition (12 mM and 2 mM NO3-). Growth of shoots of both components in mixed culture was measured by physical separation, and the proportions of root biomass due to each component were calculated from δ13C value of total root biomass. In air (320 μbar CO2) at high PPFD and with high root zone-N, the shoot biomass of C3 and C4 components at the first harvest (28 days) was in proportion to the sowing ratio. However, by the second harvest (36 days) the C4 component predominated in both mixtures. Under the same conditions, but with low PPFD, C3 plants predominated at the first harvest but C4 plants had over- taken them by the time of the second harvest. Elevated atmospheric CO2 (640 μbar) stimulated shoot growth of Triticum in 15 of 16 treatment combinations and the stimulation was greatest in plants provided with low NO3-. Root growth of the C3 plants was generally stimulated by elevated CO2, but was only occasionally sensitive to the presence of C4 plants in mixed culture. However, growth of the C4 plants was often sensitive to the presence of C3 plants in mixed culture. In mixed cultures, elevated CO2 plants stimulated growth of C4 plants at high PPFD, high-N and in all low-N treatments but this was insufficient to offset a marked decline in shoot growth with increasing proportion of C3 plants in mixed cultures. The unexpected stimulation of growth of C4 plants by elevated CO2 was correlated with more negative δ13C values of C4 root biomass, suggesting a partial failure of the CO2 concentrating mechanism of C4 photosynthesis in Echinochloa under low-N. These experiments show that for these species nitrogen was more important than light or elevated pCO2 in determining the extent of competitive interactions in mixed culture.
