不同类型和强度的干旱胁迫对黑麦草实验种群物质生产与水分利用的影响

 对田间条件下不同类型和强度的干旱胁迫对黑麦草(Lolium perenne)实验种群物质生产与水分利用特征的影响进行了研究。实验结果表明：在周期性和持续性胁迫条件下,轻度与中度胁迫对草群干物质产量的影响相接近并与对照无显著差异,重度胁迫导致干物质产量的降低;渐进性胁迫条件下轻度胁迫对干物质产量的影响与对照相接近,中度和重度胁迫导致产量的降低;在每一种胁迫类型下植物地上部绿色部分的干物质含量与其干物质产量呈反向对应关系;草群干物质产量与栽植桶水分散失量之间呈极显著的直线关系;周期性胁迫条件下中度胁迫提高了草群水分利用效率,持续性和渐进性胁迫条件下草群水分利用效率对干旱胁迫强度的反应随生长季节推移而有所改变。     

干旱胁迫对夏蜡梅光合特性的影响

以2年生夏蜡梅(Sinocalycanthus chinensis)苗木为材料,通过盆栽试验,研究土壤干旱胁迫对夏蜡梅叶片光合特性的影响,结果显示:随着干旱胁迫程度的加重,夏蜡梅叶片净光合速率、蒸腾速率、气孔导度显著降低;胞间CO2浓度在轻度和中度胁迫下显著低于对照,但在重度胁迫下显著高于对照;水分利用效率在胁迫下提高,且以中度胁迫为最大.温度升高使叶片净光合速率和水分利用效率降低、蒸腾速率升高,加重了干旱对光合作用的不利影响.对照及轻度和中度干旱胁迫处理的净光合速率、气孔导度和水分利用效率日变化曲线均为双峰型,但重度胁迫下净光合速率和气孔导度日变化转变为峰值很小的单峰型;各处理的蒸腾速率日变化曲线为单峰型并以午间最高.表明夏蜡梅光合作用对干旱胁迫有一定的适应能力,但重度胁迫对其造成严重影响.     

油松幼苗对干旱胁迫的生理生态响应

在适宜水分(田间持水量为80%)、轻度干旱(60%)、中度干旱(40%)和重度干旱(20%)4种土壤水分条件下研究了油松的生理生态特征,结果显示; 油松各器官(根、茎、叶)的干物质积累量、干物质积累总量、相对生长率、株高和基径均表现为适宜水分＞轻度干旱＞中度干旱＞重度干旱,而根冠比大小顺序与其相反.气体交换参数(净光合速率、气孔导度、蒸腾速率) 随干旱程度的加剧显著下降,并且净光合速率的下降主要受气孔因素限制.油松的瞬时水分利用效率和长期水分利用效率(稳定碳同位素含量,δ13C)表现适宜水分＜轻度干旱＜中度干旱＜重度干旱,而且中度和重度干旱显著提高油松的水分利用效率.另外,单位干重叶片氮元素含量(N%)随胁迫增加呈下降趋势,而单位干重碳元素含量(C%)却与之相反,从而导致碳氮比随胁迫增加而增加,并且我们的结果显示光合速率与氮含量存在显著正相关. 结果表明,油松可以通过调节自身生长特征、生物量分配模式和叶片营养元素的含量及提高水分利用效率而增强应对干旱胁迫的能力.     

干旱胁迫对杨树幼苗生长、光合特性及活性氧代谢的影响

2011年4-10月在山东省林业科学研究院试验苗圃,选取欧美I-107杨扦插苗为试材,采用盆栽控水试验,研究了不同水分处理(正常水分、轻度干旱、中度干旱和重度干旱)对杨树幼苗生长和气体交换、叶绿素荧光特性、活性氧代谢的影响.结果表明:与正常水分处理相比,轻度、中度和重度干旱胁迫下的地径生长量分别下降12.8％、44.5％和65.6％,苗高生长量分别下降12.2％、43.1％和57.2％;随着胁迫强度的增加和胁迫时间的延长,杨树幼苗叶片的PSⅡ光能转化效率、实际量子产量、光化学猝灭系数、净光合速率和气孔导度在轻度胁迫下缓慢下降,而在中度和重度胁迫下迅速下降;非光化学猝灭系数在轻度胁迫下显著升高,而在中度和重度胁迫下先升高后降低;叶片超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性均先升高后降低,但对干旱胁迫和活性氧的响应存在一定差异;叶片相对电导率、丙二醛含量显著增加,质膜受损,大量离子外渗,且重度胁迫下质膜的损害最严重.轻度干旱胁迫下,I-107杨树幼苗具有较高的光合效率和较强的抗氧化保护酶系统;而中度和重度干旱下,其光合效率显著下降,抗氧化保护酶系统明显遭到破坏.     

干旱-复水对桂西北喀斯特地区青冈栎叶片光合能力、叶绿素荧光和显微结构的影响

为了探讨喀斯特地区适生种青冈栎幼苗对“干旱－复水”环境的适应机制,以当年生青冈栎实生苗为材料,通过盆栽控水试验,研究了4 种土壤干旱胁迫强度[对照（–0.1 MPa）、轻度干旱（–0.5 MPa））、中度干旱（–0.9 MPa）和重度干旱（–1.5 MPa）]及复水处理对叶片的水分状况、光合、叶绿素荧光和解剖结构参数的影响。结果表明：（1）随干旱胁迫加剧,叶片相对含水率、水势、净光合速率（Pn）、蒸腾速率（Tr）、气孔导度（Gs）和胞间CO2浓度（Ci）均显著降低,而气孔限制值（Ls）显著增加;轻度胁迫下各光合参数以及轻中度胁迫下瞬时水分利用效率（WUE）均不受显著影响。复水后,各干旱处理叶片水分参数、Pn、Tr、Gs、Ci、WUE均比复水前提高,Ls比复水前降低;轻度胁迫复水后叶片水分和光合参数均优于对照,中度胁迫仅Ls未恢复到对照,重度胁迫复水后叶片水分和光合参数均未恢复。（2）随干旱胁迫加剧,叶片初始荧光（Fo）显著增加,而最大荧光（Fm）、最大光化学量子产量（Fv/Fm）和潜在光化学效率（Fv/Fo）均显著下降,且在轻度胁迫下均与对照显著差异。复水后,各干旱胁迫Fm、Fv/Fm和Fv/Fo比复水前提高,而Fo均略低于复水前,轻度胁迫复水后各叶绿素荧光参数均恢复到或优于对照,中度和重度胁迫复水后Fo未恢复到对照,且重度胁迫复水后Fv /Fm仅为0.75。（3）随干旱胁迫加剧,叶片厚度、上下表皮厚度、气孔密度、主脉导管直径均显著增加,叶片气孔器长度、宽度、开口面积、海绵组织厚度均显著降低,而栅栏组织厚度、栅海比和主脉厚度均表现为中度＞轻度＞对照＞重度。复水后,仅各干旱胁迫处理的气孔开口面积和主脉厚度比复水前显著提高;轻度胁迫复水后叶片结构参数也均恢复到或优于对照,中度胁迫复水后气孔开口面积仍显著低于对照,重度胁迫复水后气孔开口未能恢复打开,主脉厚度也低于对照。因此,青冈栎幼苗有耐旱性和旱后恢复能力,适合作为喀斯特地区的生态恢复树种,但在青冈栎幼苗抚育阶段应免受中度以上干旱胁迫（–0.9 MPa）,以利于其旱后恢复生长。     

不同生育期玉米叶片光合特性及水分利用效率对水分胁迫的响应

利用大型移动防雨棚开展了玉米水分胁迫及复水试验,通过分析玉米叶片光合数据,揭示了不同生育期水分胁迫及复水对玉米光合特性及水分利用效率的影响。结果表明:水分胁迫导致玉米叶片整体光合速率、蒸腾速率和气孔导度下降以及光合速率日变化的峰值提前;水分胁迫后的玉米叶片蒸腾速率、光合速率和气孔导度为适应干旱缺水均较对照显著下降,从而提高了水分利用效率,缩小了与水分充足条件下玉米叶片的水分利用效率差值;在中度和重度水分胁迫条件下,玉米叶片的水分利用效率降幅低于光合速率、蒸腾速率和气孔导度的降幅, 有时甚至高于正常供水条件下的水分利用效率;适度的水分胁迫能提高玉米叶片的水分利用效率,从而增强叶片对水分的利用能力,抵御干旱的逆境;水分亏缺对玉米光合速率、蒸腾速率及水分利用效率的影响具有较明显滞后效应,干旱后复水,光合作用受抑制仍然持续;水分胁迫时间越长、胁迫程度越重,叶片的光合作用越呈不可逆性;拔节-吐丝期水分胁迫对玉米叶片光合作用的逆制比三叶-拔节期更难恢复。     

干旱胁迫对桂西南石漠化地区主要造林树种光合与耗水特性的影响

研究植物耐旱特性和耗水问题对困难立地植被恢复的树种选择具有重要意义。以桂西南岩溶山地常见造林树种肥牛树(Cephalomappa sinensis)、香樟(Cinnamomum camphora)和仪花(Lysidice rhodostegia) 2年生实生苗为对象,采用盆栽苗木称量法和Li-6400光合系统测定方法相结合,研究不同土壤水分条件下3个树种的光合特性、水分利用效率和蒸腾耗水特性。结果表明:3个树种苗木净光合速率(Pn)、气孔导度(Gs)和蒸腾速率(Tr)随土壤干旱胁迫增强呈下降趋势;胞间CO2浓度(Ci)随干旱增强先呈下降趋势,至重度干旱时显著升高,气孔限制值(Ls)则随干旱增强呈增加趋势,至重度干旱时则显著下降(P0.05);轻度和中度干旱胁迫导致苗木Pn下降的主要原因为气孔因素;重度干旱胁迫下Pn下降的主要原因为非气孔因素。肥牛树在轻度干旱胁迫下水分利用效率最高,至重度干旱胁迫时显著下降;香樟和仪花的水分利用效率随干旱胁迫增强而增加,以中度干旱时期最高,至重度干旱时显著下降(P0.05);苗木全天耗水量均随干旱胁迫增强而下降,相同土壤水分条件下以仪花的全天耗水量最高;耗水速率日变化均为单峰曲线,耗水速率最大峰值在不同土壤水分条件下有所不同;在轻度和中度干旱下,以仪花的白天平均耗水速率最高,重度干旱下以肥牛树的白天平均耗水速率最高,仪花其次;隶属函数分析结果显示,综合评价值的大小顺序为肥牛树香樟仪花,苗木的隶属函数加权平均值介于0.3～0.5,具有中等抗旱特性。     

干旱胁迫及复水对香樟幼树生理特性及生长的影响

通过盆栽和持续干旱处理研究了轻度干旱(持续干旱2~4d)、中度干旱(持续干旱6~8d)和重度干旱胁迫(持续干旱10~16d)及复水对香樟(Cinnamomum camphora)幼树生理特性和生长的影响,为香樟育苗、造林及合理的水分管理提供理论依据。结果显示:(1)干旱胁迫下香樟幼树地径生长量(Zd)和树高生长量(Zh)受到了抑制;轻度、中度干旱处理(土壤体积含水量从正常状态下降到7%)下叶片相对含水量(LRWC)与对照差异不显著,重度干旱处理(土壤体积含水量下降到3%)下显著低于对照。(2)轻度、中度干旱处理的超氧阴离子和过氧化氢含量与对照无显著差异,重度干旱处理较对照显著上升。(3)在活性氧酶促清除系统中,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)活性在轻度干旱时显著上升,而过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性在重度干旱时才显著上升,在复水48h后3种酶活性均恢复到对照水平。(4)在轻度、中度干旱处理中叶片丙二醛(MDA)含量无显著变化,而在重度干旱下显著升高,且复水48h后未见显著降低。(5)在渗透调节物质中,轻度干旱时可溶性蛋白(SP)含量开始显著升高,中度干旱时可溶性糖(SS)含量显著升高,重度干旱时脯氨酸(Pro)含量显著上升;复水48h后Pro含量显著降低,而可溶性蛋白和可溶性糖含量无显著变化。研究发现,香樟幼树在轻度干旱胁迫下能通过自身抗氧化酶系统和渗透调节物质维持正常生长,而在中度和重度干旱胁迫条件下,其水分生理状况变差,膜系统遭受伤害,酶活性受到抑制,最终导致其形态生长和地上部分生物量积累受限。     

干旱胁迫下转基因甘薯块根膨大期水分利用效率和生理代谢特征

以转Cu/Zn-SOD和APX基因及其非转基因甘薯进行盆栽试验,在甘薯块根膨大期进行正常供水(田间最大持水量的80%)、中度缺水(田间最大持水量的60%)和重度缺水(田间最大持水量的40%)3种水分处理,分别测定转基因植株和对照植株在薯块膨大期的第20天和第70天的抗氧化酶系统、可溶性糖含量、光合系统之间的差异,以及在不同水分胁迫处理下产量和水分利用效率之间的差异。以此研究外源基因的超表达是否可以提高甘薯的产量及水分利用效率。结果显示:(1)转基因甘薯(TS)的SOD、APX活性以及可溶性糖含量均高于非转基因对照株(NT),但POD活性低于NT;TS和NT植株的APX活性、可溶性糖含量、净光合速率以及蒸腾速率均随干旱胁迫加重呈递减趋势。(2)干旱胁迫70d时,TS和NT植株光合参数均较胁迫20d时降低,且TS和NT间的净光合速率没有明显差异。(3)TS和NT两株系的块根产量在中度胁迫下最高而在重度胁迫下最低,而TS具有较高的块根产量且在重度胁迫下产量降低幅度较小。(4)TS的气孔导度和蒸腾速率显著低于NT,且TS的水分利用效率较NT更高。研究表明,Cu/Zn-SOD和APX基因可以显著增加干旱胁迫下甘薯块根膨大期的SOD、APX活性和可溶性糖含量,提高其水分利用效率,从而减轻干旱胁迫对产量的影响。     

黑麦草叶内游离脯氨酸含量对于不同类型和强度的水分胁迫的生理生态响应(英文)

实验植物黑麦草（Ｌｏｌｉｕｍｐｅｒｅｎｎｅ）种植于自行设计和制作的圆形土壤柱内,土壤含水量采用称重法加以控制,通过调节灌水次数和每次灌入水量模拟３种类型的水分胁迫,即周期性胁迫、持续稳定性胁迫和渐进性胁迫,并以充足灌水作为对照。３种胁迫又分别设有３个水平,即轻度、中度和重度。当土壤柱内植物建立稳定种群后开始胁迫处理,至生长季末共进行两个周期的胁迫实验。胁迫处理期间以固定间隔在草群内取最新完全展开的叶片测定其含水量和游离脯氨酸含量。实验结果表明,３种类型的水分胁迫均引起脯氨酸在植物叶内的积累且其数量随胁迫强度增加而变化,但这种效应是累积性的而不是即时性的。在任何一种处理的时间序列上,脯氨酸含量的变化与土壤含水量的变化不存在同步性,而与叶片含水量变化呈同步相反走势。通过与他人从生理生化角度所做的工作相比较,本文对上述研究结果的生理生态学意义进行了讨论。     

不同土壤水分条件下无机营养对小麦物质生产和水分利用的影响

本文通过讨论不同土壤水分条件下,无机营养对春小麦净光合率、叶片导度、干物质生产、水分消耗等的影响,表明施肥使营养缺乏的春小麦的光合物质生产,水分消耗及水分利用效率(WUE)都明显增大,无机营养对春小麦物质同化和生长的促进要远大于其因增加水分散失而带来的不利影响;在土壤干旱时,施肥春小麦的光合物质生产、水分消耗下降幅度都大于不施肥春小麦,干旱削弱了无机营养在提高春小麦光合物质生产和产量方面的作用。据此,对旱地的合理施肥技术提出了建议。     

Adjusting Nitrogen Application in Accordance with Soil Water Availability Enhances Yield and Water Use by Regulating Physiological Traits of Maize under Drip Fertigation

Knowledge of the interactive effects of water and nitrogen (N) on physio-chemical traits of maize (Zea mays L.) helps to optimize water and N management and improve productivity. A split-plot experiment was conducted with three soil water conditions (severe drought, moderate drought, and fully water supply referring to 45%–55%, 65%–75%, and 85%–95% field capacity, respectively) and four N application rates (N₀, N₁₅₀, N₂₄₀, and N₃₃₀ referring to 0, 150, 240, 330 kg N ha^–1 respectively) under drip fertigation in 2014 and 2015 in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain of China. The results indicated that drought stress inhibited physiological activity of plants (leaf relative water content, root bleeding sap, and net photosynthetic rate), resulting in low dry matter accumulation after silking, yield, and N uptake, whereas increased WUE and NUE. N application rates over than 150 kg ha^–1 aggravated the inhibition of physiological activity under severe drought condition, while it was offset under moderate drought condition. High N application rates (N₃₃₀) still revealed negative effects under moderate drought condition, as it did not consistently enhance plant physiological activity and significantly reduced N uptake as compared to the N₂₄₀ treatment. With fully water supply, increasing N application rates synergistically enhanced physiological activity, promoted dry matter accumulation after silking, and increased yield, WUE, and N uptake. Although the N₂₄₀ treatment reduced yield by 5.4% in average, it saved 27.3% N under full water supply condition as compared with N₃₃₀ treatment. The results indicated that N regulated growth of maize in aspects of physiological traits, dry matter accumulation, and yield as well as water and N use was depended on soil water status. The appropriate N application rates for maize production was 150 kg ha^–1 under moderate drought or 240 kg ha^–1 under fully water supply under drip fertigation, and high N supply (>150 kg ha^–1) should be avoided under severe drought condition.     

Carbon isotope composition,water-use efficiency and biomass productivity of Eucalyptus microtheca populations under different water supplies

Variation in carbon isotope composition (δ¹³C), water-use efficiency (WUE) and biomass productivity were compared among three populations of Eucalyptus microtheca F. Muell. in a greenhouse. Seedlings were maintained under one well-watered (Control, keeping the soil at field capacity) and two different water deficit conditions (Drought stress I, keeping the same soil water content; Drought stress II, keeping the same soil water supply). In each treatment, significant population differences in δ¹³C, WUE, and dry matter accumulation and allocation were detected. A negative correlation between WUE and biomass productivity was detected under control and drought stress I, but a positive correlation under drought stress II. The results suggested that there were different water-use strategies among the populations, the southeastern population with lower WUE may employ a prodigal water-use strategy, whereas the northwestern and central populations with higher WUE may employ a conservative water-use strategy. This knowledge may be useful as criteria for genotype selection within a breeding program for this species. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Effects of Drought Stress on Key Enzymes of Carbon Metabolism,Photosynthetic Characteristics and Agronomic Traits of Soybean at the Flowering Stage under Different Soil Substrates

Soybean is an important legume food crop, and its seeds are rich in nutrients, providing humans and animals with edible oil and protein feed. However, soybean is sensitive to water requirements, and drought is an important factor limiting soybean yield and quality. This study used Heinong 84 (drought resistant variety) and Hefeng 46 (intermediate variety) as tested varieties planted in chernozem, albic, and black soils. The effects of drought stress on the activities of key enzymes in carbon metabolism and photosynthetic characteristics of soybean were studied during the flowering stage, most sensitive to water. (1) The activities of SS-1, 6PGDH, and G6PDH enzymes in soybean leaves first increased and then decreased under drought stress. The enzyme activity was the highest under moderate drought stress and weakest in the blank group. (2) Drought stress increased Phi2, PhiNO, and Fm in soybean leaves and reached the highest value under severe drought; with the increase in drought stress, PhiNPQ and Fv/Fm of soybean leaves gradually decreased, reaching the lowest under severe drought. (3) With the increase in drought stress, F₀ and Fs of soybean leaves showed a single peak curve, and the maximum was at moderate drought. (4) Correlation analysis showed that F₀ was greatly affected by varieties and soil types; Fs, F0, and Fm soil varieties had a great influence, and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were affected differently under drought stress with different drought degrees. (5) Drought stress changed the agronomic traits and yield of soybean. With the increase of drought degree, plant height, node number of main stem, effective pod number, 100-seed weight and total yield decreased continuously. (6) Drought stress affected the dry matter accumulation of soybean. With the increase of drought degree, the dry matter accumulation gradually decreased. Among them, the leaf was most seriously affected by drought, and SD decreased by about 55% compared with CK. Under the condition of black soil, the dry matter accumulation of soybean was least affected by drought.     

β-Aminobutyric acid increases abscisic acid accumulation and desiccation tolerance and decreases water use but fails to improve grain yield in two spring wheat cultivars under soil drying

A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of the non-protein amino acid, β-aminobutyric acid (BABA), on the homeostasis between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant defence during progressive soil drying, and its relationship with the accumulation of abscisic acid (ABA), water use, grain yield, and desiccation tolerance in two spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars released in different decades and with different yields under drought. Drenching the soil with 100 μM BABA increased drought-induced ABA production, leading to a decrease in the lethal leaf water potential (Ψ) used to measure desiccation tolerance, decreased water use, and increased water use efficiency for grain (WUE(G)) under moderate water stress. In addition, at severe water stress levels, drenching the soil with BABA reduced ROS production, increased antioxidant enzyme activity, and reduced the oxidative damage to lipid membranes. The data suggest that the addition of BABA triggers ABA accumulation that acts as a non-hydraulic root signal, thereby closing stomata, and reducing water use at moderate stress levels, and also reduces the production of ROS and increases the antioxidant defence enzymes at severe stress levels, thus increasing the desiccation tolerance. However, BABA treatment had no effect on grain yield of wheat when water availability was limited. The results suggest that there are ways of effectively priming the pre-existing defence pathways, in addition to genetic means, to improve the desiccation tolerance and WUE(G) of wheat.     

Effect of Pre-Anthesis Drought Hardening on Post-Anthesis Physiological Characteristics,Yield and WUE in Winter Wheat

A drought event can cause yield loss or entire crops to fail. In order to study the effects of continuous drought on physiological characteristics, yield, and water use efficiency (WUE) of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), the variety “Zhoumai 22” was grown in controlled water conditions of the pot-planted winter wheat under a mobile rainout shelter. Foot planting and safe wintering were used to evaluate, winter wheat under different drought conditions, including light, moderate and severe drought at the jointing, heading, and filling stages. The soil water content was controlled at 60–70%, 50–60%, or 40–50% of field capacity. Experimental trials included 3 pre-anthesis drought hardening, 3 three-stage continuous drought, and 1 test control conditions. Under drought stress conditions, winter wheat leaf water potential, soil plant analysis development (SPAD), photosynthesis parameters, and yield declined due to pre-anthesis drought hardening. And the degree of decline: continuous drought > pre-anthesis drought hardening. Changes in the post-anthesis photosynthetic capacity of winter wheat were mainly related to the pre-anthesis drought level, rather than post-anthesis rehydration. The threshold of non-stomata limiting factors caused by photosynthesis at the filling stage is 40–50%FC, while comprehensive yield and WUE affected, the yield in severe drought treatments was the most significant, B3C3 and B3C3G3 decreased by 55.68% and 55.88%, respectively. Pre-anthesis drought was the main reason for the decreased crop yield. Thus, severe drought should be avoided during planting, while pre-anthesis light drought is a suitable choice for water-saving and crop production, as proper pre-anthesis drought hardening (60–70% FC) is feasible and effective.     

土壤水分状况对花生和早稻叶片气体交换的影响

通过田间测坑试验研究了长期处于不同土壤水分状况下花生和早稻叶片气体交换的一些特点.结果表明,花生分枝期轻度和中度水分胁迫使气孔导度(Gs)和蒸腾速率(Tr)略有下降,净光合速率(Pn)和叶片水分利用效率(WUE)减小,轻度水分胁迫Gs/Tr略有上升而中度胁迫Gs/Tr变小.花生结荚期轻度和中度水分胁迫都使Gs、Tr、Gs/Tr和Pn显著降低,WUE大幅度上升.花生结荚期明显受土壤水分胁迫影响.早稻灌浆期轻度和中度水分胁迫Gs、Tr和Gs/Tr变化不显著,Pn和WUE增加,并且轻度水分胁迫下籽粒产量增加.Gs和Gs/Tr变化情况相结合可以作为作物水分胁迫程度的一个参考指标,即如果Gs和Gs/Tr同时下降则作物已经受到水分胁迫影响.
