Abstract
Soil moisture plays an important role in rice (Oryza sativa L.) root development and grain quality. However, little is known about the effects of soil type on rice root morphophysiological traits (RMTs) and grain quality under different irrigation modes. A soil-grown experiment was conducted during the 2016–2017 rice growing seasons in Yangzhou city with three soil types, namely, clay soil, loamy soil, and sandy soil, and three irrigation regimes, namely, conventional irrigation (CI, 0 kPa), alternate wetting and moderate drying (AWMD, −15 kPa), and alternate wetting and severe drying (AWSD, −25 kPa). The AWMD regime improved the RMT by 3.05–48.95% when compared with the CI and AWSD regimes, and the RMTs in loamy were 7.38–93.67% higher than those in clay and sandy soil under AWMD across 2016 and 2017. The AWMD regime improved the rice milling quality and appearance quality both in clay and loamy soil by 2.88–10.08% and 15.43–45.77%, respectively. The CI regime improved the processing quality and nutritional quality of rice in sandy soil. Both loamy and clay soils improved the rice RMTs and grain quality under an AWMD regime. The RMTs were very significantly correlated with water use efficiency, rice milling, and cooking quality and were negatively correlated with rice appearance quality. The AWMD regime can affect the rice RMT and can improve the rice grain quality in loamy soil. Our results provide a theoretical basis for the design of water-saving rice irrigation regimes and for an improvement in rice grain quality in the process of rice cultivation.
