Effect of selected abiotic stress factors on yield formation parameters of winter wheat genotypes
Hlaváčová, Marcela
This dissertation thesis is a compilation of four scientific papers based on experiments with pot-grown winter wheat plants. The responses of winter wheat to different lengths of drought and heat stress treatments, applied at growth phases crucial for grain formation, both from the perspective of final yield formation and photosynthetic parameters, were analyzed. Growth chambers (heat and drought stress) and phenotyping platform (drought stress; phenotyping experiment) were used to set up these stress conditions. The first aim was to assess the sensitivity of yield formation parameters to short-term heat stress at anthesis. The second aim was to assess the sensitivity of yield formation parameters to drought stress during the transition from the vegetative stage to the generative stage. The third aim was to assess the sensitivity of yield formation parameters and photosynthetic characteristics to combined short-term heat and drought stress at stem elongation, anthesis, and grain filling stages. The final aim was to assess the sensitivity of photosynthetic characteristics to combined medium-term heat and drought stress at the anthesis stage. The results showed that short-term (3 and 7 days) heat (32, 35, 38 °C, and compared to a control temperature of 26 °C) or interactive effects of heat and drought stress at stem elongation, anthesis, and grain filling stages generally led to minor reductions in yield formation parameters, whereas significant affects on photosynthetic parameters were observed (with the lowest impacts on photosynthetic parameters at anthesis). It indicated that plants were capable of quickly recovering their photosynthetic processes; thus, yield formation parameters could be compensated. Drought stress during the transition from the vegetative stage to the generative stage of development resulted in significant declines in yield formation parameters. The photosynthetic responses to medium-term (7 and 14 days) combined heat and drought stress were genotype-specific in their magnitudes and closely associated with changes in stomatal conductance.

Determination of qualitative parameters of selected varieties of wheat
Malíková, Jana ; Kolouchová, Ladislava (referee) ; Lolková, Andrea (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the evaluation of the quality of 11 varieties of winter wheat from the 2021 harvest. The theoretical part concerned with the botanical characteristics and morphology of wheat, its most common diseases and the characteristics of selected varieties. Furthermore, the most important basic quality parameters of wheat as well as its rheological properties and methods suitable for their determination are characterized. The practical part was realised in company Penam a.s. in the mill in Vojkovice. The samples were supplied by Oseva a.s. for the purpose of monitoring varieties and genetic breeding as well as evaluation of harvest quality. From the results of the basic quality parameters and rheological determinations on the alveograph, farinograph and extensograph, it was found that all the varieties were of food quality belonging to quality groups A or B, and the worst or best variety was not clearly evaluated. In the last part of the thesis, the influence of different localities on the quality of individual varieties was evaluated, from the areas of Chrlice, Věrovany and Čáslav. The different localities had an effect especially on the basic properties of wheat, which are influenced by agrotechnical and climatic conditions. The most differences were recorded in the determination of moisture content and N-substance content.

Effects of elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide and nitrogen supply on grain quality of wheat
Chadimová, Klára ; Babák, Libor (referee) ; Hrstka, Miroslav (advisor)
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and different nitrogen fertilization levels on wheat grain quality. Winter wheat cultivar Bohemia was grown under ambient carbon dioxide concentration (AC) and elevated carbon dioxide concentration (EC; 700 mol carbon dioxide per mol) half of the samples was fertilized with 200 kg N per ha (N+) and the other part stayed unfertilized (N-). Zeleny value and Hagberg-Perten value was determined. Bulk density was determined by routine method. Grain hardness, dry matter content, starch concentration and crude protein concentration was determined by NIR spektroscopy. No effect on grain quality was detected due to carbon dioxide enrichment. However nitrogen fertilizer influenced grain quality significantly. Zeleny value and crude protein concentration were decreased and starch concentration was increased in samples that stayed unfertilized. Other grain quality parameters stayed unaffected.

Impact of elevated carbon dioxide concentration and nitrogen nutrition on protein content of glutenin and gliadin fraction in winter wheat
Chadimová, Klára ; Vítová, Eva (referee) ; Hrstka, Miroslav (advisor)
The present study investigates effects of elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, different nitrogen fertilization levels, drought and UV radiation on protein content of wheat gluten fractions glutenins and gliadins. Winter wheat cultivar Bohemia was grown under ambient CO2 concentration (AC; 400 mol CO2.mol-1) and elevated CO2 concentration (EC; 700 mol CO2.mol-1). Half of the samples was fertilized with 200 kg N.ha-1 (N+) and the other part stayed unfertilized (N–). Other environmental factors were UV radiation exclusion (UV–, UV+) and drought (DRY, WET). Gliadins were separated by A-PAGE, glutenins by SDS-PAGE. Proteins were quantified by computer densitometry. Nitrogen fertilization caused an significat increase of gliadins and glutenins. While some gliadins subfractions were significantly lowered by drought, HMW glutenin subunits showed significant increase. UV radiation exclusion resulted in significant decrease of some gliadin subfractions and glutenin subunits. CO2 enrichment caused significant increase of glutenin subfractions HMW 1 and 2, while gliadin subfractions -5 1 and 1 were significantly decreased by elevated CO2 concentration.
