杏、李和杏李光合特性比较及优异种质筛选

利用Li-6400便携式光合测定系统对80份杏、李和杏李种质光合参数进行测定的结果表明,供试品种间光合特性差异较大。对80份种质进行聚类分析,根据光合速率将它们分为高、中、低3种光合速率类型,根据水分利用效率分为高、较高、中及低4种水分利用效率类型。杏中高光合速率类型占50%,高于李、杏李中该类型的频率;李和杏李则以中等光合速率为主,分别占55.2%和62.5%。杏和杏李中较高和中等水分利用效率类型较多,未发现高和低水分利用效率类型,而李的水分利用效率类型则分布广泛。综合考虑光合和水分指标,筛选出2个李品种澳得罗达、理查德早生,3个杏品种超仁、兰州大接杏和仰韶杏表现出高光效、较高水分利用效率,可用于今后的生产和育种实践。     

C4水稻,我们的新挑战

自从上个世纪60年代末C4光合途径发现以来,人们对工程改造现有C3粮食作物使之具有C4光合能力进行了大量努力。目前,大量分子、生理和基因组水平研究的进展和证据表明,该目标将可能在10～15年之内实现。本综述结合目前国际C4研究的现状,详述了该领域目前所涉各项研究内容的理论依据。我们首先总结过去的经典杂交实验,然后论证新一代测序技术与C4光合研究模式系统狐尾草（Setaria viridis）的发展极大的促进了我们对C4光合特征遗传发育相关基因的发现与鉴定。最后,我们强调虽然C4光合工程改造的研究目前已在世界各国大规模展开,但其最终成功仍有赖于不同国家研究基金及私立慈善基金的大力和长期共同资助。     

判别分析方法在鉴别C_3 、C_4植物中的应用——以中国东北样带 (NECT)的研究为例

判别分析是多元统计分析中判断个体所属类型的一种重要方法。以中国东北样带(NECT)作为研究平台,利用判别分析鉴别植物光合功能型。采用国际上先进的植物光合测定系统LCA4便携式光合仪和CID_203便携式叶面积仪在野外所测定的植物生理生态参数,选取51个来自C3功能群的植物种和15个来自C4功能群的植物种构建判别模型,进行光合碳同化途径的判别。用马氏距离和后验概率判别准则进行回判,准确率达到98.48%。利用此判别模型可以根据任一植物的光合速率、蒸腾速率、气孔导度和叶温与大气温度之差4项指标判别该植物的光合碳同化功能型     

C3、C4和CAM途径的生态学意义

本文通过C_3,C_4和CAM植物在不同环境中的分布,从3个方面阐述了这3种碳同化途径在利用环境资源时的生态学意义——资源分隔: 1.光合途径的空间分异:(1)不同光合类型植物的气候带(水平和垂直带)和地理区域分布;(2)不同光合类型植物在微环境中的分布。 2.光合途径的时间分异。 3.光合途径在资源分隔中的重叠。     

C3与C4植物的环境调控

环境条件决定着不同光合类型植物的地理分布范围和区域 ,一般来说 ,C4 植物分布于高温、强光的环境而 C3植物分布于阴凉、湿润的环境 ,且 C4 比 C3植物光合速率高。但环境条件影响着不同光合类型植物的光合潜能的发挥 ,C4 植物在高温、强光、干旱条件下所表现出来的优势在其它环境条件下未必就显现出来。环境条件甚至可以引起 C3、C4 光合途径间的相互转化 ,这使得目前几种鉴别植物光合类型的方法出现不一致的结果。因此 ,在判断植物的光合类型时 ,要注意多种手段的综合利用 ,同时注意植物所处环境条件的影响。     

何首乌种质资源核型分析及进化趋势研究

以32份何首乌种质为研究材料,采用常规压片法,对其进行核型分析及进化趋势研究。结果表明:(1)32份何首乌种质存在二倍体(2n=2x=22)和三倍体(2n=3x=33)两种倍型;核型不对称系数As.K%和AI值分别在51.85%～61.52%和0.37～1.40;核型有"1A"、"1B"和"2A"3种类型,属于进化程度较低的植物。(2)在32份何首乌种质中,53.13%的种质为三倍体,表明多倍化在何首乌种质的进化中起着重要作用,但染色体结构变异也是其进化的主要途径之一。(3)何首乌各种质染色体形态变化较大,进化程度参差不齐,可能与种质的生境有一定相关性。(4)何首乌最初的起源中心可能在高纬度地区,在向低纬度地区迁移过程中发生了染色体数目及结构的变化。     

东南亚特种水稻种质资源光合特性研究

东南亚国家丰富的自然资源和多样化的种植与消费习惯,孕育了大量的特种水稻资源,如有色稻、糯稻和香稻等。这些资源长期在相对封闭的区域种植,基因高度纯合,表型十分稳定,是进行遗传和生理特性研究的良好材料。本研究对56份越南、老挝、柬埔寨的特种水稻资源进行光合指标测定和统计分析,结果表明供试材料的光合速率(Pn)和光合功能期差异(RSP)均表现为极显著水平,均值分别为27.15μmol/m2·s和35.3 d;进一步对这两个指标进行二维排序绘制象限图,从中筛选出了Pn和RSP均值较高的种质资源14份,占总数的25%,这些高光效特种稻种质资源可作为特种品种选育的中间材料,同时也可为光合机理研究、高光效基因定位等提供基因资源。探讨了特种稻光合速率与农艺性状之间的相关性,其中,C1、C2、C29、C43、C49、C54、C56、C59、C60和C62株型为中间类型、叶片颜色为绿色或深绿、剑叶状态为中间类型或直立,其光合速率相对高一些,为潜在的高光效育种材料。     

中国东北样带羊草群落C3和C4植物功能群生物量及其对环境变化的响应

在全球动态植被模型的发展中,受限于人力、物力和财力使得在物种水平上的研究变得既不可能也无必要。植物功能群的划分是从生态学的,而不是系统发育的角度来相互比较地对待不同地区的植物,从而削减了植被变化研究中植物分类群的数量,已成为研究植被变化及生物多样性对生态系统功能作用的重要单位。植物的不同光合途径（C3、C4和CAM）从叶片组织结构到生理功能,从生态适应到地理分布均表现出对不同水、热、光环境的响应,是理想的植物功能群分类。为此,分析了中国东北样带以羊草（Leymus chinensis）为建群种或共建种的草原群落植物光合类型功能群生物量及其与群落初级生产力和环境变化的关系。结果表明：（1）C4植物生物量具有明显的变化规律,且对环境变化的响应显著,其变异性较高,更能反映样地问环境变化的差异;（2）C4与C3植物变化具有明显的互补性,并且多数C4植物常在逆境中起到更大作用,如干旱化、盐碱化和放牧干扰;（3）C4植物种类少,在所有调查样方中仅出现7种,占总出现种类的9．72％。这些特点说明C4植物可以考虑作为评估和预测我国温带草原植被及其生态系统变化的重要植物功能群。     

Diversity of lepidopteran stem borers on monocotyledonous plants in eastern Africa and the islands of Madagascar and Zanzibar revisited

Surveys were completed in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda and Zanzibar to assess the lepidopteran stem borer species diversity on wild host plants. A total of 24,674 larvae belonging to 135 species were collected from 75 species of wild host plants belonging to the Poaceae, Cyperaceae and Typhaceae. Amongst them were 44 noctuid species belonging to at least nine genera, 33 crambids, 15 pyralids, 16 Pyraloidea species not yet identified, 25 tortricids and three cossids. The noctuid larvae represented 73.6% of the total number of larvae collected, with 66.3, 3.5 and 3.8% found on Poaceae, Cyperaceae and Typhaceae, respectively. The Crambidae, Pyralidae, Tortricidae and Cossidae represented 19.8, 1.9, 2.5 and 0.1% of the total larvae collected, respectively, with 90.4% of the Crambidae and Pyralidae collected from Poaceae, and 99.7% of the Tortricidae collected from Cyperaceae. The lepidopteran stem borer species diversity in the wild host plants was far more diverse than previously reported.     

C4 plants in the vegetation of Mongolia: their natural occurrence and geographical distribution in relation to climate

The natural geographical occurrence, carbon assimilation, and structural and biochemical diversity of species with C₄ photosynthesis in the vegetation of Mongolia was studied. The Mongolian flora was screened for C₄ plants by using ¹³C/¹²C isotope fractionation, determining the early products of ¹⁴CO₂ fixation, microscopy of leaf mesophyll cell anatomy, and from reported literature data. Eighty C₄ species were found among eight families: Amaranthaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Molluginaceae, Poaceae, Polygonaceae, Portulacaceae and Zygophyllaceae. Most of the C4 species were in three families: Chenopodiceae (41 species), Poaceae (25 species) and Polygonaceae, genus Calligonum (6 species). Some new C₄ species in Chenopodiaceae, Poaceae and Polygonaceae were detected. C₄ Chenopodiaceae species make up 45% of the total chenopods and are very important ecologically in saline areas and in cold arid deserts. C₄ grasses make up about 10% of the total Poaceae species and these species naturally concentrate in steppe zones. Naturalized grasses with Kranz anatomy,of genera such as Setaria, Echinochloa, Eragrostis, Panicum and Chloris, were found in almost all the botanical-geographical regions of Mongolia, where they commonly occur in annually disturbed areas and desert oases. We analyzed the relationships between the occurrence of C₄ plants in 16 natural botanical-geographical regions of Mongolia and their major climatic influences. The proportion of C₄ species increases with decreasing geographical latitude and along the north-to-south temperature gradient; however grasses and chenopods differ in their responses to climate. The abundance of Chenopodiaceae species was closely correlated with aridity, but the distribution of the C₄ grasses was more dependent on temperature. Also, we found a unique distribution of different C₄ Chenopodiaceae structural and biochemical subtypes along the aridity gradient. NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME) tree-like species with a salsoloid type of Kranz anatomy, such as Haloxylon ammodendron and Iljinia regelii, plus shrubby Salsola and Anabasis species, were the plants most resistant to ecological stress and conditions in highly arid Gobian deserts with less than 100 mm of annual precipitation. Most of the annual C₄ chenopod species were halophytes, succulent, and occurred in saline and arid environments in steppe and desert regions. The relative abundance of C₃ succulent chenopod species also increased along the aridity gradient. Native C₄ grasses were mainly annual and perennial species from the Cynodonteae tribe with NAD-ME and PEP-carboxykinase (PEP-CK) photosynthetic types. They occurred across much of Mongolia, but were most common in steppe zones where they are often dominant in grazing ecosystems. Received: 17 March 1999 / Accepted: 1 November 1999     

The photosynthetic pathway types of some desert plants from India,Saudi Arabia,Egypt, and Iraq

Summary Plants collected from different habitats in the deserts of India, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iraq were screened for their photosynthetic CO₂-fixation pathways using ¹³C and D values. The analyses comprised 128 species belonging to 108 genera and 46 families. Neither the C₄ nor the CAM pathway was prevalent in the plant families analyzed except in Poaceae, where C₄ metabolism absolutely dominated. Of 93 dicotyledonous plants, only 10 exhibited a C₄ pathway and only 2 were CAM plants. The study shows that some species reported by other workers as C₄ plants are clearly C₃ ones.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. Hermann Merxmüller on the occasion of his 60th birthday     

The role of proteins in C(3) plants prior to their recruitment into the C(4) pathway

Our most productive crops and native vegetation use a modified version of photosynthesis known as the C(4) pathway. Leaves of C(4) crops have increased nitrogen and water use efficiencies compared with C(3) species. Although the modifications to leaves of C(4) plants are complex, their faster growth led to the proposal that C(4) photosynthesis should be installed in C(3) crops in order to increase yield potential. Typically, a limited set of proteins become restricted to mesophyll or bundle sheath cells, and this allows CO(2) to be concentrated around the primary carboxylase RuBisCO. The role that these proteins play in C(3) species prior to their recruitment into the C(4) pathway is addressed here. Understanding the role of these proteins in C(3) plants is likely to be of use in predicting how the metabolism of a C(3) leaf will alter as components of the C(4) pathway are introduced as part of efforts to install characteristics of C(4) photosynthesis in leaves of C(3) crops.     

European plants with C4 photosynthesis: geographical and taxonomic distribution and relations to climate parameters

A survey of C₄ plants in Europe was performed with 216 species based on information in the literature and new studies. C₄ species were found in 10 families: the eudicots Amaranthaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Molluginaceae, Nyctaginaceae, Polygonaceae, Portulacaceae and Zygophyllaceae and the monocots Cyperaceae and Poaceae. The majority of the C₄ species belong to four families, Amaranthaceae (23), Chenopodiaceae (65), Cyperaceae (27) and Poaceae (88). In central and southern Europe, the abundance of native C₄ plants varied between 44 and 88% of total C₄ plants occurring, the rest being invasive C₄ species. The occurrence of total C₄ species, C₄ monocots and C₄ Chenopodiaceae was assessed for five major phyto‐geographical regions of Europe (north‐west, north‐east, central, south‐west, and south‐east). The abundance of C₄ plants of total C₄ dicots, C₄ Chenopodiaceae, total C₄ monocots, C₄ Poaceae and C₄ Cyperaceae was related to the climatic variables of annual mean daily temperature, annual precipitation and DeMartonne's aridity index. The abundance of total C₄ plants decreases with increasing temperature and expression of aridity (decreasing aridity index) and is not correlated with precipitation. The abundance of total C₄ dicots and C₄ Chenopodiaceae is correlated with precipitation and aridity but not temperature, whereas the abundance of total C₄ monocots, C₄ Poaceae and C₄ Cyperaceae is correlated with temperature and aridity but not precipitation. © 2010 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2010, 163 , 283–304.

华南地区外来入侵和归化植物分析

为了解华南地区外来植物现状,通过野外调查和查阅文献等,确定华南地区有外来入侵和归化植物45科141属223种,以菊科(Asteraceae,38种)、豆科(Fabaceae,36种)、禾本科(Poaceae,19种)植物为主,其中草本植物和原产美洲的植物占优势,分别有204种(占总数的91.5%)和163种(占73.1%)。广东外来入侵植物有159种,归化植物23种;广西有入侵植物135种,归化植物16种;海南有入侵植物111种,归化种15种;香港有入侵植物105种,归化植物9种;澳门有入侵植物89种,归化种4种;华南5省区共有的外来入侵和归化植物为57种(55种为入侵植物,2种为归化植物)。广东是外来植物种类最多的地区,与其他4省区共有的外来入侵和归化植物种类也最多,说明广东同时是外来植物输入和输出大省。由于气候和生态生境的相似性,各省区都面临着其他植物从周边地区入侵的风险,因此在治理入侵植物时,应建立联合防控机制对外来入侵植物的联合监测和防控,以提升外来入侵植物的治理成效和降低其对人类健康和生态安全的威胁。     

Distribution of South African C3 and C4 species of Cyperaceae in relation to climate and phylogeny

Abstract In this study the contribution of climatic factors and phylogenetic relationships affecting the geographical distribution of C₃ and C₄ genera of the Cyperaceae in South Africa was investigated. The δ¹³C values of herbarium specimens of 68 southern African species from 22 genera and eight tribes were used to assign the species to either the C₃ or C₄ photosynthetic pathway. Geographical distribution data for the Cyperaceae were used to investigate relationships between climatic factors and the number of species and proportional abundance of C₄ species per region. The number of Cyperaceae species per 2° × 2° square across South Africa varied from less than five in the north‐western regions to more than 15 in the south‐western and north‐eastern regions of South Africa where rainfall exceeds 800 mm y^‐1. Of the 68 species investigated, 28 had C₄ photosynthesis and these were scattered among nine genera of four tribes (Cypereae, Scirpeae, Abildgaardieae and Rhyncosporeae). The proportional abundance of C₄ species ranged from 14% in the winter rainfall regions of the south‐west of South Africa to 67% in the summer rainfall areas of the north‐east. The geographical distribution of species was related to their phylogenetic position such that the distributions of C₃ and C₄ species in Cypereae, Scirpeae and Schoeneae was quite distinct. Linear regression analysis showed that the transition temperatures (equal C₃ and C₄ species numbers) for the Cyperaceae were different to those obtained for the Poaceae from the same region. No strong relationships were found between the proportional abundance of C₄ species and other climate factors such as altitude and rainfall. Our analysis of the current geographical distribution of C₄ Cyperaceae in southern Africa in a phylogenetic context suggests that the ecological advantages conferred by the C₄ pathway differ amongst the different plant groups.
