Abstract

Nutrient densities, carbon:nitrogen (C:N) ratio, and midday differential canopy temperature (dT), were assessed in oat plants subjected to biotic stresses during two years. Large portions of variation in nutrient densities and C:N ratio of leaves at the boot stage and of kernels and groats at harvest were negatively impacted by the 2- and 3-way interactions of leaves, kernels, and groats with the biotic stress treatments and years. The C:N ratios, but not nutrient densities, were always smaller in groats than in kernels, and during the stress than the no-stress year. Temporal variation accounted for a small variance associated with nutrients in leaves; whereas, stress treatments accounted for the largest variances associated with nutrients in kernels and groats. These indirect relationships among plant architecture components, dT, nutrient densities and C:N ratios, illustrate the complex interactions of biotic and abiotic stresses and their impact on grain yield and its components in oat.
