云南元江干热河谷木本植物的物候

在中国西南干热河谷的典型地段——元江干热河谷,连续3年观测了32种木本植物的枝条生长、叶片动态、花期、果期和果实类型。这些植物的枝条生长方式可以分为连续生长、枝条枯死、陡长和间歇生长4个类型。其中连续生长型占优势,包括13种植物,它们的枝条在雨季连续不断伸长。9种植物雨季的枝条伸长与连续生长型的相似,但它们顶部的枝条在旱季末期出现枯死现象。6种植物属于陡长型,在2周内完成抽枝,且一年只抽一次枝。4种植物属于间歇生长型,枝条在雨季来临后伸长一段时间,然后生长停滞,过一段时间后再接着伸长。从叶片物候类型看,元江干热河谷植被以落叶植物占优势。落叶植物中冷凉旱季（11月～2月）落叶植物占优势（19种）,而干热旱季（3—4月）落叶植物很少（4种）。除红花柴（Indigofera pulchella）和狭叶山黄麻（Trema angustifolia）从雨季中期开始脱落叶片外,其它30种植物从雨季末期开始脱落叶片,落叶期至少延续3个月以上。常绿植物脱落近1／3～1／2的当年生叶片。共有6种植物能在旱季末期长出新叶。常绿植物的叶面积、单个枝条上的总叶面积和枝条承载（总叶面积／枝条长度）比落叶植物小。虽然一年四季都有不同植物开花和结果,但多数植物（29种,占观测树种的91％）的花期集中在旱季和雨季初期,而果实（种子）成熟期从雨季末期延续到旱季末期和下个雨季初期。果实多为核果。     

The development of techniques for tissue culture of mango (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Mangifera indica</Emphasis> L.) var. Carabao and successful transfer of <Emphasis Type="Italic">ex vitro</Emphasis>-grafted plants to soil and the field

The mango, a virtually neglected fruit before the advent of nitrate-induced flowering, is now the third leading export fruit in the Philippines, with the ‘Carabao’ mango being the only variety exported. Delay or control of ripening, as well as the ability to program market availability, would further increase the value of mango. Prolonging its shelf life and improving other characteristics can be achieved through biotechnology, requiring a reliable tissue culture regeneration protocol, and a successful transfer-to-soil system. Between 2004 and 2008, immature fruits were collected and cultured in vitro. Primary somatic embryo (SE) induction ranged from 16–100% depending on the strain, collection time, and tree source. A single SE was required to initiate SE proliferation. When subcultured, the SEs proliferated, germinated, and produced plantlets. Initial shoot formation was 8–64%, while succeeding true leaf formation was reduced to 0–36%. In some cultures, abscission and browning were observed, but gas chromatography assays ruled out ethylene as the cause. Regenerated plants survived transfer to soil, but at low percentages. While it took 1 y to develop the tissue culture protocol, it took 3 y to develop the technique for successful transfer of plantlets to soil, and to the field. This is the first report, of a polyembryonic mango, variety Carabao, for which successful tissue culture and field transplantation systems were developed. The technology is equally important as a way to rapidly propagate uniform rootstocks of superior ‘Carabao’ strains or other varieties, for generation of variability, genetic transformation, and for germplasm conservation and exchange.     

Studies on the expression patterns of the circadian rhythm regulated genes in mango

Mango, an important fruit crop of the tropical and subtropical regions shows alternate bearing in most varieties causing a financial loss to the farmer. Genetic reasons for this undesirable trait have not been studied so far. In our attempts to investigate the genetic reasons for alternate bearing we have initiated studies on genes associated with the induction, repression and regulation of flowering in mango. We have previously identified and characterized FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) genes that induce flowering and two TERMINAL FLOWER1 (TFL1) genes that repress flowering. In this communication, we have explored the association of GI-FKF1-CDF1-CO module with the regulation of flowering in mango. The role of this module in regulating flowering has been well documented in photoperiod sensitive plants. We have characterized these genes and their expressions during flowering in Ratna variety as also their diurnal fluctuations and tissue specific expressions. The data taken together suggest that GI-FKF1-CDF1-CO module may also be employed by mango in regulating its flowering. Further, we suggest that the temperature dependent flowering in mango is probably associated with the presence of temperature sensitive elements present in the promoter region of one of the GIGANTEA genes that have been shown to be closely associated with floral induction.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12298-021-01053-8.     

Sexual reproductive ecology of Carex bigelowii an arctic-alpine sedge

Carex bigelowii an arctic-alpine sedge that shows an extensive clonal growth, and in many years also has a high degree of flowering. To see which factors are most important in determining the sexual reproductive success, the effects of self- and cross-pollination, pollen donor distance, amount of pollen, temperature, and time of flowering were studied. The study was conducted at Latnjajaure Field Station, northern Sweden and Thingvellir National Park, Iceland during three field seasons. Experimentally increased air temperature raised the fruit set and the fruit weight, in two of the three seasons. Pollen donor distance did not influence either fruit set or fruit weight, and there was no difference in fruit weight between selfing and cross-pollination. An increased amount of pollen raised the fruit set. but did not affect fruit weight. The time of flowering was also important; there was a negative relationship between flowering time and fruit set and fruit weight, i.e. late flowering ramets had a lower fruit set and fruit weight. The results suggest that Carex bigelowii is an outcrossed species where the reproductive success is mainly determined by the weather, and that there are differences between the two study sites.     

Species composition and population dynamics of thrips (Thysanoptera) in mango orchards of northern peninsular Malaysia

Thrips are key pests of mango, Mangifera indica (L.), in Malaysia, including the Northern Peninsular. As Penang has year-round equatorial climate and high of rainfall, the populations of thrips may be subject to variations in composition and size. With a goal of developing an appropriate control strategy, a survey was conducted in Penang to determine species composition and abundance in relation to some environmental factors. Sprayed and unsprayed orchards were sampled on weekly basis through two flowering seasons of 2009 using CO(2) collection technique. Larval population falling into the ground to pupate and adults emerging from the soil were investigated in both orchards. Thrips hawaiiensis (Morgan) and Scirtothrips dorsalis (Hood) were the most prevalent species in the sprayed and the unsprayed orchards, respectively. The abundance of thrips was high during the flowering period of the dry season and decreased during the flowering period of the rainy season. This latter period coincided with decreased temperature and increased relative humidity. Percentage of adult emergence from the soil was lower in the rainy season than recorded in the dry season in both orchards. Taken together, these observations suggest that T. hawaiiensis and S. dorsalis are the main thrips species pests of mango panicles in Penang. Direct control with insecticides focusing on these two species may help to reduce cosmetic injuries and other damages on mango fruits.     

Mango stem end rot pathogens — Infection levels between flowering and harvest

During flowering and fruit set of mango (Mangifera indica L.), colonisation by fungi (Alternaria alternata, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Dothiorella dominicana, Dothiorella mangiferae, Dothiorella sp., Epicoccum purpurascens and Pestalotiopsis sp.) increased as the flowers senesced and young fruit formed. In the third week after flowering, the incidence of Dothiorella dominicana and Dothiorella mangiferae associated with mango fruit-pedicel connection tissue declined coincidentally with early fruit-fall, suggesting that early infections by Dothiorella spp. may cause fruitlet abortion. Dothiorella spp. levels in fruit-pedicel connection tissue remained low for the subsequent 6 weeks, after which they increased. By 16 weeks after flowering, the incidence of Dothiorella spp., determined by isolation from fruit-pedicel connection tissue, was similar to the incidence of stem end rot caused by Dothiorella spp., which developed in fruit harvested at that time. By contrast, the frequency of detection of Dothiorella spp. in peduncle tissue peaked 11 weeks after flowering, when the levels of stem end rot developing in fruit were already similar to the levels recorded in fruit harvested at 16 weeks and later. The results suggest that in fruit and fruit-pedicel tissue, colonisation might arise from Dothiorella spp. occurring endophytically in the peduncle. The earliest indicator of stem end rot incidence at harvest was the infection level in peduncle tissue sampled 11 weeks after flowering. Early assays of peduncle tissue for Dothiorella spp. might prove useful for selecting crops with low stem end rot infection levels.     

The role of auxin and sugar signaling in dominance inhibition of inflorescence growth by fruit load

Dominance inhibition of shoot growth by fruit load is a major factor that regulates shoot architecture and limits yield in agriculture and horticulture crops. In annual plants, the inhibition of inflorescence growth by fruit load occurs at a late stage of inflorescence development termed the end of flowering transition. Physiological studies show this transition is mediated by production and export of auxin from developing fruits in close proximity to the inflorescence apex. In the meristem, cessation of inflorescence growth is controlled in part by the age-dependent pathway, which regulates the timing of arrest. Here, we show the end of flowering transition is a two-step process in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). The first stage is characterized by a cessation of inflorescence growth, while immature fruit continues to develop. At this stage, dominance inhibition of inflorescence growth by fruit load is associated with a selective dampening of auxin transport in the apical region of the stem. Subsequently, an increase in auxin response in the vascular tissues of the apical stem where developing fruits are attached marks the second stage for the end of flowering transition. Similar to the vegetative and floral transition, the end of flowering transition is associated with a change in sugar signaling and metabolism in the inflorescence apex. Taken together, our results suggest that during the end of flowering transition, dominance inhibition of inflorescence shoot growth by fruit load is mediated by auxin and sugar signaling.

Dominance inhibition of inflorescence shoot growth by fruit load involves auxin and sugar signaling during the end of flowering transition.     

A model for estimating infection levels of anthracnose disease of mango

Anthracnose disease of mango caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides var. minor, spreads by water-borne conidia from vegetative parts of the tree to attack inflorescences and prevent fruit set. An analysis of data from laboratory studies demonstrated that infection by conidia during wet periods was related both to the temperature and to the duration of the wet period. A model was used to estimate infection levels of anthracnose disease in two mango orchards over three seasons. The number of infection periods recorded and the estimated percentage of conidia forming appressoria in these periods matched disease development during flush growth and flowering. In 1980, only two infection periods were detected during flowering in one of these orchards and blossom blight did not prevent fruit set. In 1981 and 1982 however, higher estimated levels of infection were recorded more frequently during the same time and severe blossom blight developed. A second orchard, situated in an area less favourable to disease, was also monitored during 1982. Nine infection periods were recorded during flowering in this orchard compared to 14 in the first. A moderate level of blossom blight developed in this orchard.     

Causes of Fruit Set Variation in Polygonatum odoratum (Liliaceae)

Abstract: In Polygonatum odoratum (Liliaceae), flowers located distally within the flowering shoot typically exhibit lower fruit set than flowers located proximally. In this study, experiments were performed to investigate whether the lower fruit set of distal flowers is due to pollen limitation, resource competition or "architectural" effects. We found that (1) fruit set and mean number of ovules per flower decline within the flowering shoot from proximal to distal position; (2) variations in the amount of pollen received do not explain the observed differences in fruit set; (3) the fruit set of the most distal flowers was significantly increased by removal of other flower buds in the flowering shoot just before flower opening, indicating that fruit set in these flowers is resource-limited; and (4) removal of proximal flowers increased the fruit set of later flowers to levels similar to those of early flowers of control shoots, arguing against the architectural effects hypothesis.     

西双版纳热带植物园引种植物物候特征比较

迁地保护是生物多样性保护的重要手段之一,前期的植物引种研究呵为迁地保护提供必要的理论支持。通过对西双版纳热带植物园内不同来源的引种植物和本地植物的4个物候期（萌叶期、落叶期、开花期和果熟期）分布格局及其气候影响因子进行对比,阐明引种植物对环境的适应性和对策。结果表明,引种植物比本地植物萌叶生长盛期更长,但对低温和干旱更加敏感的引种植物,在旱季其落叶比例明显高于本地植物,而3、4月由于气温的回升,使引种植物和本地植物在雨季之前就进入了萌叶盛期。而在繁殖物候方面,由于受气候因子影响较小,引种植物和本地植物的开花期和果熟期格局季节性表现都不明显。且规律性不强。总体上,各来源地的引种植物能根据环境的改变形成相应的生长与繁殖适应对策,可较好地适应西双版纳的环境。
