Descripción
The influence of genotype and panicle position on sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] kernel growth is poorly understood. In the present study, sorghum kernel weight (KW) differences during grain filling were analyzed by kernel water relationships previously described in other crops. Eight commercial genotypes differing in KW were used, and KW, water content, kernel volume, kernel moisture content, and kernel density were measured in two positions within the panicle (apical and basal) throughout the grain-filling period. At physiological maturity (PM), KW ranged from 16.5 to 25.1 mg kernel-1, and a significant (p < 0.05) genotype x position interaction was detected. Independently of final KW, apical kernels always exhibited a higher rate (p < 0.001) and a shorter duration of grain filling (p < 0.001) than basal kernels. Maximum water content was related to kernel growth rate but not to final KW. Basal kernels reached maximum kernel volume after attaining maximum water content, with dry matter accumulation affecting kernel volume determination. Kernel density increased with a similar pattern regardless of genotype or panicle position when related to the kernel moisture decline, but at PM, basal kernels were always more dense than apical ones. Differences in the kernel desiccation pattern and in the critical moisture content for biomass accumulation helped explain differences in the grain-filling duration between positions. A general kernel growth curve based on kernel moisture content was impossible to obtain because of the differences in kernel growth patterns within the panicle.
