Abstract: 【Objective】 To explore the effect of key fluorescence parameters on the characterizing value of high light-use efficiency in buckwheat and to screen high light-use efficiency buckwheat germplasm through fluorescence characteristic evaluation,providing a scientific basis and material support for high light-use efficiency breeding.【Methods】 A randomized block field experiment was conducted,using 154 buckwheat varieties as experimental materials. Twenty-five chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were measured. Correlation analysis,principal component analysis (PCA),and systematic clustering-shortest distance analysis were employed to comprehensively evaluate the fluorescence characteristics of buckwheat and identify superior germplasm resources with high light-use efficiency.【Results】 Highly significant differences were observed in chlorophyll fluorescence parameters among different buckwheat varieties(P<0.01). Specifically,parameters PI abs、PI total,ETo/CSm,DIo/RC,REo/CSm,Fv/Fo,TRo/CSm,Fv and Fo/Fm showed larger coefficients of variation(CV) values,all exceeding 25.00%. Parameters DF total,DF abs,TRo/RC,DIo/CSm and Fo showed smaller CV values,ranging from 0.71% to 7.97%. Broad-sense heritability of all other parameters,except TRo/RC,REo/RC,REo/CSo and PI total,was greater than 60.00%. Principal component analysis revealed that the cumulative contribution rate of the top four principal components reached 96.758%,and a comprehensive evaluation function model was established as A=0.612A1+0.190A2+0.130A3+0.068A4,with A values for the 154 buckwheat varieties ranging from -2.68 to 1.20. Clustering analysis of the A values classified the tested varieties into five categories:2 buckwheat varieties(NQ148 and NQ150) were classified as the high light-use efficiency germplasm type,105 varieties were classified as the relatively high light-use efficiency germplasm type,44 varieties were classified as the moderate light-use efficiency germplasm type,2 varieties were classified as the relatively low light-use efficiency germplasm type,and 1 variety was classified as the low light-use efficiency germplasm type.【Conclusion】 Two buckwheat varieties(NQ148 and NQ150) with high light-use efficiency were successfully screened,providing materials for the breeding of high light-use efficiency germplasm resources in buckwheat.
