Résumé | Background Optimum moisture in straw and grain at maturity is important for timely harvesting of wheat. Grain harvested at the right time has reduced chance of being affected by adverse weather conditions, which is important to maintain grain quality and end-use functionality. Wheat varieties with a short dry down period could help in timely harvest of the crop. However, measuring single kernel moisture in wheat and other small grain crops is a phenotyping bottleneck which requires characterizing moisture content of the developing kernel at physiological maturity. Results Here we report developing a pin-based probe to detect moisture in a developing wheat kernel required for determining physiological maturity. An in-house designed pin-based probe was used with different commercially available electronic moisture meters to assess the moisture content of the individual kernels in spikes with high accuracy (R² = 0.73 to 0.94, P < 0.001) compared with a reference method of oven drying. The average moisture values varied among different electronic moisture meters and the oven-dry method and differences in values were minimized at low kernel moisture content (< 50%). The single kernel moisture probe was evaluated in the field to predict the physiological maturity in wheat using 38% moisture content as the reference and visible notes on kernel stage. Conclusion The pin-based moisture probe is a reliable tool for wheat physiologists and breeders to conveniently and accurately measure moisture content in developing grain that will aid in identifying wheat germplasm with fast dry-down characteristics. |
