CONTEXT
Gl b l
Global:
Climate Change
RISOCAS project (Hohenheim university) + CIRAD
My PhD study:
Thermal stress at the reproductive stage for floaded rice
2 main sensitive stages :
• cold at the early microspore stage (disruption of meiosis) and
at flowering (failure of panicle exsersion)
f
g (f
f p
)
• heat at the flowering (affects pollination and fertilization processes)
PREVIOUS STUDIES ISSUES
STERILITY
Chilling at the young microspore stage:
1) Irrigated rice sowing date experiment in semi-arid environment
é é l
(
)
at Ndiaye, Sénégal (ARC)
Problem of Tb:
- Using air T, model-fitted
Tb was 14-16 °C
- Using microclimatic
°
corrections, it was 9-12 °C
- Calculation of thermal time
is prone to errors
(Dingkuhn and al., 1995)
2) Irrigated rice in Japan
(Shimono and al., 2005)
Spikelet sterility is better predicted using
panicle temperature (Tp) = f(culm position)
Microclimate
+
Organs Temperature
panicle temperature (Tp) = f(culm position)
= combination of water temperature (Tw) and
air temperature (Ta)
= parameters to be taken
into account
Heat at the flowering stage (anthesis)
AirT and plant organsT can differ a lot under stressing thermal conditions

SCIENTIFIC APPROACH OF THE ISSUES
What are the relationships between climate, microclimate, canopy structure,
and organs temperature at sensitive stages?
What are the links with the sterility and yield loss observed at maturity ?
What are the links with the sterility and yield loss observed at maturity ?
1) EXPERIMENTING IN THE FIELD
In climatically contrasting sites
2) CREATING A GREAT
DATASET
For 7 contrasting varieties
4) MODELLING (CIRAD SAMARA)
3) ANALYSING
