论高粱的抗旱性及在旱区农业中的地位

本文以笔者研究组多年研究结果为基础,以玉米为主要参比作物,就干旱逆境下高粱的产量表现、水分利用及抗旱特性进行了论述。认为高粱是一种综合抗旱能力很强的作物,尤其具有低耗水、高水分利用效率特性,其耐旱性显著高于玉米,也高于谷子和苜蓿,属于一种典型的模式抗旱作物,具有重要的生产和研究价值。指出高粱作为抗逆性很强的粮饲酿兼用作物,特别是作为一种能源植物,仍具良好的发展前景。建议今后在降水量低于450mm、热量可满足生长的地区扩大高粱种植面积,同时加强对其整体抗旱性机理及抗旱基因组的研究。

Based on authors research results and taking maize as the main reference crop, the paper discussed the yield performance, water utilization and drought resistance of sorghum under drought stress environment. Sorghum is regarded as a crop having strong and comprehensive ability of coping with drought, especially low water consumption and high water use-efficiency characteristics. The drought tolerance of sorghum is significantly higher than maize, millet and alfalfa. Sorghum is a typical drought-resistant m...
