Abstract:In order to study source-sink characteristics and establish standardized evaluation system of source-sink type for high-yield rice varieties, thirteen physiological indices of 76 high-yielding rice varieties were measured.Five key indices were identified from 13 traits by principal component analysis. Using dynamic clustering method,76 rice varieties were classified into four types, including source-sink interaction type, increase production by increase sink type, improving production by increasing source type, and saturated source-sink type. The discriminant function for evaluating the source and sink of high-yield rice varieties was established with five key indicators as variables. Through verification, it is found that the discriminant accuracy of the discriminant function is 98.9%. The results provide a theoretical basis for the evaluation of source-sink types of high-yielding japonica rice varieties.
