Abstract
The efficacy of application of MET at different concentrations on some morphological and physiological traits of buckwheat variety Yunchao-5 was studied. The results demonstrated efficacy of MET to reduce plant height and increase stem thickness. The experiments showed that the most efficient action was recorded in the variant with the MET concentration of 200 mg / L, which substantially increased values of such traits as the grain number and 1000 seed weight. A gain in grain yield by 58.9% was also observed.
Highlights
Buckwheat is one of the major cereals in China
Observation during buckwheat vegetation demonstrated that one week after MET treatment leaf color began to change from light-green to dark-green, and 10 days after treatment leaves were dense dark green
It was experimentally established that with the concentration of MET of 150 mg / L buckwheat plant height decreased by 12.6 cm, or by 12% compared to the standard, and the MET concentration of 300 mg / L reduced plant height by 29.2 cm, or by 28% compared to the standard
Summary
Nutritious and of good taste, and in terms of nutritional value and dietary qualities is a valuable food product. It has a high nutritional value because of its intrinsic ratio between essential amino acids in protein as well as because of certain medicinal properties [1]. Superoxide dismutase catalyses dismutation of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. It plays an important role in antioxidant protection of virtually all cells that are one way or another are in contact with oxygen [5, 6]
