研究了盐度(0、0.02、0.04和0.08 mol·L~(-1))和黑松母树大小对山东半岛北部海防林的主要造林树种黑松种子萌发和幼苗早期生长的影响.结果表明:盐度对黑松种子的发芽率有显著影响,随着NaCl浓度的升高,种子萌发率逐渐下降;盐分抑制黑松幼苗的早期生长,随着盐浓度升高,黑松幼苗的根长、芽长及根干质量均显著降低;母树大小在总体上对种子萌发率没有影响,但显著影响黑松幼苗的根长、芽长和芽干质量;盐度和母树大小的相互作用显著影响黑松幼苗的根长和芽长.而对黑松种子萌发率、幼苗根干质量和芽干质量的影响不显著.

Abstract：

Pinus thunbergii is the main forestation tree species of coastal protection forests in northern Shandong Peninsula of China. Its seed germination and seedling early growth were stud-ied under the conditions of different water salinity (0, 0. 02, 0. 04, and 0. 08 mol·L~(-1)) and mother tree sizes. With increasing sea water salinity, the seed germination rate, root-and plu-mule length, and the dry weights of root and plumule decreased significantly. Mother tree size had little effects on the seed germination rate, but affected the root-and plumule length and the plumule dry weight significantly. The interaction of sea water salinity and mother tree size affect-ed the root-and plumule length significantly, but less affected the germination rate and the dry weights of root and plumule.     

Seed germination and dormancy: The classic story,new puzzles,and evolution

This review highlights recent progresses in seed germination and dormancy research.Research on the weakening of the endosperm during germination,which is almost a classic theme in seed biology,was resumed byα-xylosidase studies.Strong genetic evidence was presented to suggest that the quality control of xyloglucan biosynthesis in the endosperm(and the embryo)plays a critical role in germination.Further analyses on the endosperm and the adjace nt layers have suggested that the cutin coat in the endosperm-testa interphase negatively affects germination while the en dosperm-embryo in terphase produces a sheath that facilitates germination.These progresses significantly advanced our understanding of seed germination mechanisms.A breakthrough in dormancy research,on the other hand,revealed the unique abscisic acid signaling pathway that is regulated by DELAY OF GERMINATION1(DOG1).The detailed analysis of DOC1 expression uncovered the intriguing story of reciprocal regulation of the sensean tisense pair,which gen erated new questions.Recent studies also suggested that the DOG1 function is not limited to dormancy but extended through general seed maturation,which provokes questions about the evolution of DOG1 family proteins.Seed biology is becoming more exciting with the classic stories being revitalized and new puzzles emerging from the frontier.     

Effects of the supply levels and ratios of nitrogen and phosphorus on seed traits of Chenopodium glaucum北大核心CSCD

Aims Global nitrogen (N) deposition not only alters soil N and phosphorus (P) availability, but also changes their ratio. The levels and ratios of N and P supply and their interaction may simultaneously influence plant seed traits. However, so far there has been no experiments to distinguish these complex impacts on plant seed traits in the field. Methods A pot experiment with a factorial design of three levels and ratios of N and P supply was conducted in the Nei Mongol grassland to explore the effects of levels and ratios of N and P supply and their interaction on seed traits of Chenopodium glaucum. Important findings We found that the relative contribution (15%–24%) of N and P supply levels in affecting the N concentrations, P concentrations and germination rates of seeds was larger than that (3%–7%) of N:P supply ratios, whereas seed size was only significantly influenced by N:P. Simultaneously, seed N and P concentrations were impacted by the interaction of N and P supply levels and ratios. At the same N:P, decrease in nutrient supply levels increased seed N concentrations, P concentrations and germination rates. N:P supply ratios only had a significant effect on seed size and germination rates under low nutrient levels. Overall, these results indicate that different seed traits of C. glaucum show different sensitivities to N or P limitations, leading to adaptive and passive responses under different nutrient limitations. This study presents the the first field experiment to distinguish the effects of nutrient supply levels, ratios and their interactions on plant seed traits, which provides a new case study on the influences of global N deposition on future dynamics of plant population and community. © Chinese Journal of Plant Ecology.     

Proanthocyanidins Inhibit Seed Germination by Maintaining a High Level of Abscisic Acid in Arabidopsis thaliana

Proanthocyanidins (PAs) are the main products of the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway in seeds, but their biological function during seed germination is still unclear. We observed that seed germination is delayed with the increase of exogenous PA concentration in Arabidopsis. A similar inhibitory effect occurred in peeled Brassica napus seeds, which was observed by measuring radicle elongation. Using abscisic acid (ABA), a biosynthetic and metabolic inhibitor, and gene expression analysis by real-time polymerase chain reaction, we found that the inhibitory effect of PAs on seed germination is due to their promotion of ABA via de novo biogenesis, rather than by any inhibition of its degradation. Consistent with the relationship between PA content and ABA accumulation in seeds, PA-deficient mutants maintain a lower level of ABA compared with wild-types during germination. Our data suggest that PA distribution in the seed coat can act as a doorkeeper to seed germination. PA regulation of seed germination is mediated by the ABA signaling pathway.     

己二酸二异丁酯对辣椒种子萌发及枯萎菌的化感效应

采用模拟的方式,利用生物测定和室内培养的方法,研究了不同浓度的己二酸二异丁酯对辣椒种子萌发、幼苗生长及辣椒枯萎菌的化感效应.结果表明:己二酸二异丁酯对辣椒种子萌发和幼苗生长具有低浓度促进、高浓度抑制的化感效应;己二酸二异丁酯对辣椒和茄子种子的化感效应存在较大差异,在低浓度时对辣椒种子萌发和幼苗生长的促进作用强于茄子种子,而高浓度时对辣椒种子萌发和幼苗生长的抑制强度弱于茄子种子;各浓度己二酸二异丁酯对辣椒枯萎菌菌丝生长有极显著的抑制作用,且作用强度随着浓度增加而增强,当浓度为1 mnol·L~(-1)时抑制作用最强,抑制率为10.75%;在田间抗病性调查期间内各浓度处理均提高了辣椒幼苗的抗病性,其中以1 mmol·L~(-1)处理抗病性最好,病情指数比对照降低了49.88%.

Abstract：

By the methods of laboratory incubation and bioassay, a simulation test was conducted to study the allelopathic effects of different concentration diisobutyl adipate on pepper seed germi-nation and its seedling growth and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum. For the pepper seed germination and seedling growth, diisobutyl adipate exhibited allelopathic promotion at low con-centration, but allelopathic inhibition at high concentration. There existed greater differences in the allelopathic effects of diisobutyl adipate on the seed germination and seedling growth of pepper and eggplant. The promotion effects of low concentration diisobutyl adipate on pepper were stron-ger than those on eggplant, while the inhibition effects of high concentration diisobutyl adipate on pepper were weaker than those on eggplant. All test concentration diisobutyl adipate had signifi-cant inhibition effects on the mycelium growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum, and the effects increased with increasing diisobutyl adipate concentration, being the strongest (an inhibi-tory rate of 10. 75%) at 1 mnol·L~(-1). Field text indicated that diisobutyl adipate at all test con-centrations enhanced the disease resistance of pepper seedlings. The best effect was observed at 1 mmol·L~(-1) of diisobutyl adipate, with the disease index decreased by 49.88%, compared to the control.     

Osmopriming-Regulated Changes of Plasma Membrane Composition and Function were Inhibited by Phenylarsine Oxide in Soybean Seeds

The aim of the present work was to investigate the effects of osmoconditioning on chilling injury in chilling-sensitive soybean （Glycine max （L.） Merr. Zhonghuang No. 22） seeds during imbibition. Low temperatures reduced the germination rate and no seed germinated at 1 ℃. Osmoconditioning of seeds at 20℃ with a polyethylene glycol-8000 （PEG8000） solution at 1.5 MPa for 72 h followed by drying back to their initial moisture content （MC） reduced their chilling sensitivity. The phenylarsine oxide （PAO）, an inhibitor of protein tyrosinephosphatases, was used to investigate the possible involvement of phosphorylation-dephosphorylation of Tyr residues in the plasma membrane composition and function when seeds were osmoconditioned. The results showed the germination of osmoconditioned seeds decreased significantly when PAO was added in PEG solution after chilling treatment. PAO inhibited changes in composition of plasma membrane phospholipids and fatty acid induced by osmocondition, indicated that tyrosine protein phosphorylation is involved in the regulatory mechanisms of osmocondition-responsive chilling in soybean seeds. Western blot result further indicated that osmocondition treatment improved the activity of plasma membrane H^＋-ATPase after chilling treatment, but this effect was abolished by PAO. The possible regulation mechanism by Tyr protein phosphorylation is discussed.     

Starch Mobilization in Ultradried Seed of Maize （Zea mays L.） During Germination

The effects of ultradry storage on the starch mobilization in maize (Zea mays L.) seed after aging were investigated. The results indicated that there were no significant differences in the content of ATP, starch, and soluble sugar, as well as the activity of amylase, between ultradried seeds and seeds stored at -20℃ during germination. These results were consistent with the higher level of vigor of the ultradried seed. Sieve tube introduction of a fluorescence dye (carboxyl fluoresceindiacetate) and laser confocal microscopy were used to study the development of plasmodesmata in the ultradried seeds. The results indicated that plasmodesmata developed well in ultradried seeds. Fluorescence analysis also showed that the fluorescence intensity in the radicle of ultradried seeds was stronger than that in seeds with a higher moisture content. This suggests that ultradry treatment has no adverse effects on the seeds. After seed imbibition, cell orgaelles could be resumed. It is concluded that ultradry seed storage is beneficial for maintaining seed vigor and that starchy mobilization proceeds regularly during germination.     

Alternations in phenolic acids content in developing rye grains in normal environment and during enforced dehydration

A series of high pressure liquid chroamtography analyses revealed the presence of five phenolic acids in rye caryopses (vanillic, caffeic, p-coumaric, ferulic and sinapic), three of which (p-coumaric, ferulic and sinapic) were found in the free phenolic fraction. Ferulic acid was predominant, both among free acids and total phenolic acids (i.e. free, liberated from soluble esters and glycosides). The highest content of the free phenolic acids in rye caryopses was observed at the beginning of development, when on 22 DAF it was estimated at 11.55 μg·g⁻¹ DW. During dehydratation the total level of free phenolic acids in rye caryopses decreased in all investigated samples. Although total phenolic acids contents in all samples of unripe rye caryopses always decreased after dehydration, in rye sample collected in full ripeness (57 DAF), the amount of these compounds increased after the enforced dehydration. It should be added that in ester-bound-soluble phenolic acids fraction (the largest part in the total phenolic acids fraction), irrespective of the total amount decrease, much increase of sinapic acid content in this fraction was observed after dehydratation treatment in all investigated samples of caryopses of various ripeness. During the development and ripening of rye caryopses, a gradual increase in the precocious germination ability of the grain was observed. The enforced dehydration stimulated the process of precocious germination of developing and ripening rye caryopses. A possible role of phenolics in preventing precocious germination and acclimation to dehydration of developing and ripening rye grains is discussed.     

ABA-Mediated Inhibition of Germination Is Related to the Inhibition of Genes Encoding Cell-Wall Biosynthetic and Architecture： Modifying Enzymes and Structural Proteins in Medicago truncatula Embryo Axis

Radicle emergence and reserves mobilization are two distinct programmes that are thought to control germination. Both programs are influenced by abscissic acid （ABA） but how this hormone controls seed germination is still poorly known. Phenotypic and microscopic observations of the embryo axis of Medicago truncatula during germination in mitotic inhibition condition triggered by 10 μM oryzalin showed that cell division was not required to allow radicle emergence. A suppressive subtractive hybridization showed that more than 10% of up-regulated genes in the embryo axis encoded proteins related to cell-wall biosynthesis. The expression of α-expansins, pectin-esterase, xylogucan-endotransglycosidase, cellulose synthase, and extensins was monitored in the embryo axis of seeds germinated on water, constant and transitory ABA. These genes were overexpressed before completion of germination in the control and strongly inhibited by ABA. The expression was re-established in the ABA transitory-treatment after the seeds were transferred back on water and proceeded to germination. This proves these genes as contributors to the completion of germination and strengthen the idea that cell-wall loosening and remodeling in relation to cell expansion in the embryo axis is a determinant feature in germination. Our results also showed that ABA controls germination through the control of radicle emergence, namely by inhibiting cell-wall loosening and expansion.     

The Effects of Temperature and Osmotic Stress on the Germination of Scorzonera pusilla (Compositae) Seeds

Scorzonera pusilla is one of the early-spring short- lived perennial desert plants. Non-dormant seeds of S. pusilla are very small and light , and able to absorb water very quickly . Suitable temperature for germination was between 0℃ and 15℃, and the optimum temperature was 4℃ . With the increasing temperature, the germination percentage decreased evidently. Especially , temperature fluctuations had not significant effect on seed germination. Final germination percentages decreased distinctly with decreasing water potential of PEG and NaCl solution. The relationship between water potential of different solutions and germination was negative. The stronger the osmotic stress was, the more the proline content of seedlings was. The effects of NaCl on germination and seedlings were much stronger than that of iso-osmotic PEG in spite of two different temperatures, and the proline content of seedlings confronting increasing water stress was increased sharply .When the concentration of NaCl increased to some extent , the salt toxicity occurred besides water stress . The results are valuableto elucidate the ecogeographical patterns and mechanisms for adaptation of such early-spring ephemeral plants in the desert environments

利用不同浓度的聚乙二醇(PEG)模拟水分胁迫条件,测定蔓性千斤拔种子发芽率、发芽指数、平均发芽速度、苗长等萌发特性及渗透调节物质、保护酶活性等生理指标。结果显示,随着PEG浓度的增加,苗长受到明显抑制,发芽率影响不大,降低了平均发芽速度,在4%浓度范围内提高了发芽指数;可溶性糖、脯氨酸、可溶性蛋白含量呈上升趋势,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)活性呈逐渐上升的趋势。这些结果表明,在一定的PEG胁迫浓度范围内,蔓性千斤拔种子萌发有较高的膜保护酶系统及渗透调节能力,并能不同程度的提高其萌发的整齐度。     

生态因子对碱茅种子萌发期耐盐性影响的数量分析

 以种子在盐溶液中的相对发芽率作为种子萌发期耐盐性指标,定量分析了种子生产条件与萌发期温度,盐分(类型与浓度)等生态因子对碱茅(Puccinellia tenuiflora)种子萌发期耐盐性的影响,生产条件选取了3个生产年份或贮藏时间(年)。用3个不同的种批表示,处理溶液有不同浓度(或渗透势)的NaCl,CaCl2与Na2SO4 3种盐溶液和渗透胁迫剂PEG(6000)组成,处理温度有两个变温10(16h)～25℃(8h)与15(16h)～25℃(8h)条件组成。随溶液渗透势降低,种子相对发芽率线性下降,线性回归关系式中的回归系数与回归截距分别反映溶液的渗透与离子效应的相对大小。本试验条件下、碱茅种子生产条件对种子活性(以水中的发芽率表示)有显著影响,但对耐盐(NaCl)性无显著影响。溶液类型与温度条件主要通过改变溶液的离子效应影响种子耐盐性,对渗透效应无显著影,两种变温条件下,4种溶液对碱茅种子的渗透效应是溶液渗透势每降低1.0Mpa,相对发芽率降低52.31％。10～25℃变温条件下,与PEG溶液相比,3种盐溶液的离子效应是使碱茅种子相对发芽率分别增加14.0％。15.1％与21.6％,表现为对种子萌发的促进效应;15～25℃变温条件下,NaCl溶液的离子效应比10～25℃下约低17.0％。     

温度对干旱、盐胁迫下两种黄芪属种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响

为探讨温度对干旱、盐胁迫下黄芪属种子萌发和幼苗生长特性的影响,以黄芪属蒙古黄芪和扁茎黄芪2种种子为研究对象,纯净水处理为对照组,NaCl、PEG处理为实验组,设置4个渗透势水平(0、-0.1、-0.3、-0.5 MPa),置于5种不同的温度(10、15、20、25、30 ℃)下,每日观察并记录两种种子萌发和幼苗生长情况。结果表明：旱盐胁迫下蒙古黄芪和扁茎黄芪种子萌发最适宜的温度分别为25和20 ℃左右;蒙古黄芪耐高温不耐低温,而扁茎黄芪恰恰相反;但25和20 ℃均适宜两种幼苗生长,包括胚根、胚轴和子叶的生长。蒙古黄芪各处理组(除未发芽的种子)的平均发芽时间都比扁茎黄芪长;NaCl胁迫程度的增加使得两种种子的最终发芽率降低,但蒙古黄芪的耐盐性高于扁茎黄芪;随着PEG胁迫程度的增加,二者的发芽均受到抑制,甚至会出现完全不萌发,但扁茎黄芪的耐旱性高于蒙古黄芪;在相同的渗透势时,尤其是-0.5 MPa,PEG比NaCl对两种种子的影响大;交互胁迫作用下,随着渗透势的增加两种幼苗的鲜重、干重以及胚根、胚轴、子叶的长和宽变化较大;利用Design Expert软件预测发现：温度25 ℃、NaCl渗透势为-0.1 MPa,温度24 ℃、PEG渗透势为-0.04 MPa的处理是蒙古黄芪种子萌发和幼苗生长达到最优化的组合;而扁茎黄芪最优化的组合则为23 ℃下NaCl渗透势为-0.07 MPa的处理,20 ℃下PEG渗透势为-0.13 MPa的处理。     

渗透胁迫下水稻种子萌发特性及抗旱性鉴定指标研究

用聚乙二醇（PEG）-6000作为渗透剂模拟干旱胁迫,探讨在4种不同浓度的渗透胁迫下水稻种子的萌发特性,并确立间接评价水稻苗期抗旱性的萌发期鉴定指标。结果表明,高浓度渗透液对种子萌发的抑制作用明显大于低浓度,萌发率的干旱胁迫反应指数随渗透液浓度的降低和萌发进程而增加。在不同浓度的渗透胁迫处理中,20％浓度下萌发6d后的萌发率表现较大的变异幅度和变异系数以及较均衡的品种频率分布,较好地反映了水稻种质对渗透胁迫的不同反应,认为20％／6d条件较适合作为萌发率鉴定的渗透液模拟干旱胁迫;经反复干旱后的幼苗存活率与萌发胁迫指数和20％胁迫浓度下萌发8d后芽鞘长的干旱胁迫反应指数（DRI）表现极显著或显著正相关,认为萌发胁迫指数和芽鞘长的DRI可作为评价水稻苗期抗旱性的间接鉴定指标。     

PEG模拟干旱胁迫对栓皮栎种子萌发及生长生理的影响

为了阐明栓皮栎种子萌发期对水分胁迫的耐受性,以当年采集的栓皮栎种子为材料,采用培养皿滤纸萌发的方法研究了不同浓度（0%、5%、10%、20%、30%）PEG-6000溶液对其种子萌发、生长、保护酶活性和有机渗透调节物质的影响,并对种子萌发率、胚根生长速率等与PEG浓度进行了回归分析。结果表明:（1）随着干旱胁迫程度的加剧,栓皮栎种子的发芽率、发芽指数、胚根长度、胚根生长速率和活力指数均呈先升高后下降趋势,说明低浓度（5%、10%）PEG胁迫可以促进栓皮栎种子萌发及生长,而高浓度（20%、30%）则具有抑制作用。（2）建立水分胁迫条件下种子萌发率、胚根生长速率等与PEG浓度的回归方程发现,栓皮栎种子在PEG胁迫下的萌发临界值和极限值分别为32.01%和36.99%,胚根生长速率的临界值和极限值分别为30.1%和33.35%。（3）随着PEG浓度的升高,栓皮栎种子中3种保护酶（SOD、POD、CAT）活性和3种有机渗透调节物质（可溶性蛋白、脯氨酸、可溶性糖）含量呈现不同的变化,但均有不同程度升高趋势。由此可见,栓皮栎种子可通过增加保护酶活性和体内渗透调节物质来适应水分胁迫环境,使自身萌发和生长受抑制程度降到最低。     

干旱胁迫下白刺花种子大小与萌发对策

种子大小与种子萌发及其与环境因子的关系是植物种子萌发对策研究中的重要科学问题之一。采用PEG模拟干旱法研究不同干旱胁迫强度(0,5%,10%,15%,20%)下,白刺花(Sophora davidii)种子萌发进程、种子大小与种子萌发及种子命运的关系。结果表明:不同干旱胁迫下,白刺花种子具有相似的萌发进程,但中度干旱处理(10%PEG)萌发率显著高于零干旱(0%PEG)和重度干旱处理(P0.05),重度干旱处理(20%PEG)种子萌发开始时间晚于零干旱和中度干旱处理;种子大小与种子萌发开始时间的关系表现为零干旱处理下呈极显著负线性关系,中度干旱处理(5%PEG,10%PEG)下无相关关系,重度干旱处理(15%PEG,20%PEG)下呈负二次曲线关系;种子大小对种子命运的影响表现为零干旱处理有利于大、小种子萌发和小种子休眠,中度干旱处理(10%PEG)增加中等种子萌发、大种子休眠和小种子死亡风险,重度干旱处理(15%PEG,20%PEG)增加大种子死亡风险、中等种子和小种子休眠。综合分析表明,白刺花种子大小与萌发行为及种子命运的关系具有较强的环境依赖性,即种子萌发行为表现为顺境下种子越大萌发越快,逆境下小种子和大种子较中等种子萌发更快;种子命运表现为顺境增加种子死亡的风险,中度干扰有利于种子萌发,逆境则有利于种子休眠。
