胡杨、灰叶胡杨果实空间分布及其数量特性的研究

胡杨、灰叶胡杨种间比较,果穗、种子在树冠上的垂直分布均表现为树冠上层最多,中层居中,下层最少,树冠南北侧相比较,南侧果穗量多于北侧.单果种子量在树冠各层次上差异不显著.胡杨单果重是灰叶胡杨的2.68倍,千粒重是灰叶胡杨的1.33倍,单果种子量是灰叶胡杨的2.14倍,单株种子量是灰叶胡杨的1.28倍,而单株果实量灰叶胡杨是胡杨的1.59倍.同一个种不同居群间比较,胡杨、灰叶胡杨均是单株果穗数和果穗果实数各居群间都存在差异,胡杨各居群间单果重、单果种子量差异不显著,而灰叶胡杨各居群间单果重及单果种子量差异极显著.表明胡杨在物质和能量上对后代的投资能力强于灰叶胡杨,生殖策略是通过较高的单果种子量来保证一定数量的单株种子量;而灰叶胡杨单果种子量较低,却是通过较高的单株果量来保证单株种子量,并且较小的种子占据空间生态位的潜能较胡杨占优势.     

不同生境与花部特征对巫山淫羊藿结实特性的影响

对不同生境中巫山淫羊藿结实特性进行比较研究。结果表明:(1)三个种群在繁殖时期中不同花部特征的植株繁殖投资差异不大,如每株分枝数、每株花序数和每株开花数差异均不显著;(2)三个种群中每株结实数、每株结实率、每花序结实数在不同花部特征中差异显著,PLS和SAA要显著大于PESS;(3)三种花部特征在不同生境中单株分枝数和单株花序数均无显著差异。在不同花部特征中种群1开花数量相较少,因而在结实方面均值均要小于种群2和种群3;(4)不同花部特征的果实饱满种子数、败育数和败育率均具有显著差异,而种子数差异不大,但在种群间均无显著的差异。说明种子的多少更多地受到花部特征的影响。总之,巫山淫羊藿的结实特性受到生境和花部特征的双重影响,其中花型比生境对巫山淫羊藿结实特性的影响更为明显。     

两种生境条件下西南桦的生殖构件及其空间格局

在广西靖西土石山生态交错区调查了西南桦(Betula alnoides)生殖植株的生长状况,并研究土山和石山两种生境条件下西南桦的生殖构件及其在冠层的分布格局.结果表明:石山西南桦开始开花结实的林木胸径明显小于土山;两种立地上西南桦植株的花芽、花序数以及雄花序比率与其胸径、树高均不显著相关(P>0.05);土山和石山的西南桦雄花序数随着总花序数的增加均呈对数曲线增长趋势,在生殖投资较小的情况下植株趋向于优先发育雄花序,而在生殖投资较大时主要增加雌花序的数量;西南桦生殖构件在两种生境间存在显著差异,石山植株的雄花芽数、每个雄发芽发育出的雄花序数均显著低于土山(P<0.05),雄花序少于雌花序的植株比例远高于土山,生殖枝比率亦显著低于土山(P<0.05);尽管石山雄花序、雌花序和总花序数量以及雄花序比率低于土山,其雌花序比率高于土山,但是由于两种立地上单株间变异幅度大,独立t检验表明其差异均未达到显著水平;两种立地上西南桦花序大多着生于树冠上、中层,且90%以上的生殖枝居于树冠外层.     

除内袋时间及摘叶对红富士苹果果实品质的影响

研究了红富士苹果除内袋时间、摘叶时间和摘叶数量对冠层光照条件、果实品质及一年生枝条贮藏营养的影响.结果表明:除内袋时间适当提前可明显提高单果质量、果皮花青苷含量和果实着色面积(P<0.05),与9月30日(果实采前18 d)除内袋处理相比,9月24日(果实采前24 d)除内袋处理的单果质量、果皮着色面积和花青苷含量分别提高了10.98%、28.15%和13.44%,但除内袋时间对果实硬度、可溶性固形物和可滴定酸含量的影响差异不显著.当分别摘除果实周围15、30和45 cm以内的叶片后,果实周围的光照环境得到了明显的改善,3种摘叶处理均极显著提高了果实周围的相对光照强度(P<0.01),比摘叶前分别增加了70%、95%和115%;摘除果实周围30～45 cm以内的叶片有利于果皮着色和花青苷的积累;不同摘叶处理对枝条贮藏营养和第二年的萌芽率无显著影响.表明提前摘除内袋,并摘除离果实30～45 cm距离以内的叶片对果实外观及品质有明显促进作用.     

不同光周期对德国鸢尾‘Royal touch’的花芽分化和光合作用的影响

以德国鸢尾‘Royal touch’为试验材料,研究了5种光周期对其花芽分化和光合作用的影响。结果表明:(1)短日照加速了植株花芽分化的进程,而长日照促进了单花序上花芽数目的增加;(2)长日照下植株单位叶面积的光合能力较强(;3)植株的花芽分化与其叶面积、叶干重、地上部分与地下部分的干重比值之间呈显著的正相关关系。这些结果说明了光周期对德国鸢尾‘Royal touch’花芽分化时间和数量的影响与光周期对其植株生物量和光合作用的影响有关。     

不同地理种源紫茎泽兰的生态适应性比较

采用交互移植法,对移栽在6种不同生境中的5个不同种源紫茎泽兰幼苗的存活率、株高、分枝数、生物量、单株花序数、产种量和种子萌发率进行了为期1年的对比研究.结果表明：各种源紫茎泽兰的幼苗生长和繁殖特性对样地环境条件变化均表现出很强的可塑性.试验样地因素对幼苗株高、分枝数、生物量、单株花序数和产种量的影响均达到极显著水平(P＜0.001).随着样地纬度和海拔的升高,各种源的幼苗株高、分枝数量、单株生物量、每株花序数量和单株产种量均呈下降趋势,且各样地间的差异均达到显著水平(P＜0.05).但种源因素对幼苗株高、分枝数、生物量、单株花序数和产种量的影响均不显著（P＞0.05）.除单株产种量外,种源与试验样地的交互作用对上述各指标的影响均不显著.在各样地内,当地种源幼苗的存活率、生长能力和繁殖能力均未表现出显著的优势.说明紫茎泽兰在我国西南地区入侵成功主要依靠其较高的表型可塑性,而局域适应的作用相对较小.     

间伐改形对陇东旱塬密闭苹果园树体冠层结构和发育后期叶片质量的影响

为研究间伐改形对红富士成龄乔化密植果园树体冠层特征、生育后期叶片生理特性、养分积累分配规律、光合生产力和土壤水分时空分布动态的影响,以18年生‘红富士’苹果密闭园为试材,对苹果树单株结构参数、枝量、枝类组成、覆盖率、叶片光合速率等参数进行测定.结果表明: 密闭果园叶片光合作用受非气孔因素限制,导致PSII最大光化学效率、PSII光合潜能、光合性能指数下降了1.2%、11.5%、13.9%.间伐改形后,叶面积指数、树冠覆盖率有所降低,使得冠层直射光透过系数增加了79.0%,树形结构有所改善.苹果园总枝数降低到约1100400条·hm^-2,单株枝量增加了5.0%,短枝比例提高至73.0%.由于冠层光照条件的改善,叶面积、比叶质量、百叶重、叶绿素含量有不同程度的提高.叶片光合速率的提高促进了光合产物的积累,淀粉、蛋白质含量为密闭果园的143.5%、107.8%.叶片的发育质量与其所处的光照辐射环境有着密切联系,密闭果园经间伐、改形后,果园群体结构和冠层光照得以改善,促进了叶片生长发育,提高了叶片光合效能,降低了果园土壤水分的无效消耗,是陇东旱塬苹果产区密闭果园适宜的调整、优化方案.     

濒危植物凹叶厚朴种实特性

凹叶厚朴(Magnolia officinalis subsp.biloba)为中国二级保护植物。本文对该树种不同分布群体的种实性状进行了研究。结果表明:凹叶厚朴结实数量较少,平均结实3.19个;种实特征在不同种群间差异显著,其变异主要来源于单株间及单株内,其中果实性状的方差分量要大于种子性状,表明果实的性状较易受环境的影响;果实性状与郁闭度及土壤养分含量存在显著或极显著的相关性,种子宽与种子质量与海拔呈显著负相关,种子厚度与海拔呈极显著负相关,而与生境及土壤条件相关性并不明显。凹叶厚朴在野生状态下单株结实率低,单果出种率低是其濒危的重要原因之一。     

不同水稻品种库源的特征变化

为探讨不同年代水稻(Oryza sativa)品种间库、源及库/源的变化,用吉林省1958–2005年间育成的33个水稻品种为材料,对库、源及库/源的特征进行了研究。结果表明,吉林省47年来在水稻品种遗传改良过程中库和源性状均得到了改善。其中,单株穗重和单株粒数分别增长了62.93%和37.65%,平均年增长率分别为1.34%和0.80%,与育成年代均呈极显著正相关;单株叶面积、单株光合能力和剑叶净光合速率(Pn)分别增长了13.75%、24.80%和12.60%,年增长率分别为0.29%、0.53%和0.27%,与育成年代均呈显著正相关。不同年代育成水稻品种穗重/单株光合能力、粒数/单株光合能力无明显变化,但穗重/叶面积和粒数/叶面积与育成年代呈显著正相关,相关系数分别为0.441 0(P0.05)和0.401 7(P0.05);穗重/Pn和粒数/Pn与育成年代呈极显著正相关,相关系数分别为0.509 3(P0.01)和0.483 2(P0.01)。以上结果说明,吉林省水稻品种产量的增加是由于库和源共同作用的结果,但单位叶面积光合能力的改善远远落后于其它库源性状的增长。进一步提高叶片Pn并改善叶片的光合能力应作为高产水稻品种选育的新目标。     

青桃利用单、复花芽结果对盛果期生长结实的影响

青桃盛果期,特别中庸偏旺的植株,单、复花芽果枝数大体均等,复花芽果枝以其复芽个体较大,枝条较粗而往往表现为优势。然而笔者于1974—1979年观察了青桃树以单、复花芽结果对盛果初期的影响,结果表明:利用单花芽结果,控制了强旺枝和结果部位,使果枝分布均匀,树势稳定,尤其果枝数、花芽数、单株产量等的变动趋势与年度增加无关,r为:-0.2899、0.0620(单、复花芽果枝数分别占总果枝数的35.1％和16.7％),-0.3830、-0.1804(单、复花芽朵数分别占总花芽朵数的44.5％和13.4％),0.4093(单株年产量为179.4公斤,从而延长了盛果期;利用复花芽结果却相反,促进树势极性生长,旺枝增强,果枝外移,内膛空虚,尤其果枝数、花芽数、单株产量等的变动趋势随年度增加而呈显著与极显著负相关,r为:-0.8938~(**)、-0.9818~(**)(单、复花芽果枝数分别占总果枝数的27.1％和21.1％),-0.953~(**)、-0.8908~(**)(单、复花芽朵数占总花芽朵数的35.3％和6.8％).-0.8853~(**)(单株产量较单花芽结果减产19.4％),从而明显缩短盛果期。     

Acclimation to High CO(2) in Monoecious Cucumbers : I. Vegetative and Reproductive Growth

CO₂ concentrations of 1000 compared to 350 microliters per liter in controlled environment chambers did not increase total fruit weight or number in a monoecious cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv Chipper) nor did it increase biomass, leaf area, or relative growth rates beyond the first 16 days after seeding. Average fruit weight was slightly, but not significantly greater in the 1000 microliters per liter CO₂ treatment because fruit numbers were changed more than total weight. Plants grown at 1000 and 350 microliters per liter CO₂ were similar in distribution of dry matter and leaf area between mainstem, axillary, and subaxillary branches. Early flower production was greater in 1000 microliters per liter plants. Subsequent flower numbers were either lower in enriched plants or similar in the two treatments, except for the harvest at fruiting when enriched plants produced many more male flowers than the 350 microliters per liter treatments.     

Branch bending affected floral bud development and nutrient accumulation in shoot terminals of ‘Fuji’ and ‘Gala’ apples

Branch bending has been practiced for decades in China to induce flower buds in ‘Fuji’ apple. However, the optimum bending angle is yet to be elucidated. The main objectives of this study were to compare the effect of branch bending angles (70°, 90° and 110°) on the flowering and nutrient accumulation of 1-year-old shoots of ‘Fuji’ and ‘Gala’ apples and to determine the optimum branch bending angle for each cultivar. In both cultivars, the production of spurs and terminal flower buds, and the total sugar concentration and the carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio in the shoot terminals increased, whereas the N concentration decreased with increasing bending angles. The nutrient concentration was significantly higher in spurs than in medium and long shoots. The distinction between the changing patterns of C and N concentrations in the bent shoots during the growing season in our study suggested the competition of these two nutrients caused by vegetative and reproductive growth at different growing times. In ‘Fuji’ apple, the proportion of flowering buds appeared to increase more rapidly with the increase of bending angle from 70° to 110° than that in ‘Gala’ apple, and particularly a higher proportion of spurs was observed on ‘Fuji’ branches bent at a larger angle. The increase in the total sugar concentration and the C/N ratio in the shoot terminals of the bent branches might be involved in inducing floral buds after bending. The optimum bending angle was about 90° for ‘Gala’ apple and 110° for ‘Fuji’ apple, respectively. Bending could help farmers to reduce the severity of biennial fruiting in ‘Fuji’ apple.     

Gravimorphism in Trees: 4. The Effect of Gravity on Flowering

Experiments with several varieties of fruit tree have shownthat, in apple, growing the whole tree horizontally had a markedstimulatory effect on flowering as compared with verticallygrown trees, but in similar experiments with cherry, plum, andblackcurrant the position of the tree relative to gravity hadlittle effect on flowering. Training of individual brancheshorizontally had no significant effect on the flowering of anyof the fruit tree varieties tested. By contrast, tying the upwardlygrowing branches of young Japanese larch trees into horizontaland downwardly directed positions led to pronounced increasesin the initiation of male cones, especially in favourable years.The male flower buds occur typically on all sides of trailingshoots and on the lower sides of horizontal shoots, and it isshown experimentally that the criterion is the physically andnot morphologically lower side. In birch there appears to beno increase in flowering when gravimorphic treatments are applied.     

Effect of crop load on phytohormones,sugars, and biennial bearing in apple trees

The amount and composition of phytohormones, sugars, and some other leaf characteristics depending on a crop load were evaluated in apple (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Ligol grafted on P 60 rootstock) trees in order to prevent biennial bearing. The crop load was adjusted to 12 (control, unthinned), 8, 4, and 0 (non-fruiting) inflorescences (or fruits) per cm² of trunk cross-sectional area (TCSA). Inflorescences were removed in May before flowering. Phytohormones were analyzed in axillary buds and leaves in September. Results show that, in contrast to the unthinned trees, thinning to 4 fruits cm^?2(TCSA) resulted in a significant decrease of yield per tree, but a significant increase of fruit mass, return bloom, and leaf area. The heavy crop load resulted in suppressed bloom in the following year. Composition and content of phytohormones was changed considerably. Moreover, thinning resulted in an increased hexose accumulation. Such data suggest that flowering inhibition depended on the phytohormones that were exported to buds and on sugar-hormone signalling cross-talk.     

Winter bud content according to position in 3-year-old branching systems of 'Granny Smith' apple

An investigation was made of the number of preformed organs in winter buds of 3-year-old reiterated complexes of the 'Granny Smith' cultivar. Winter bud content was studied with respect to bud position: terminal buds were compared on both long shoots and spurs according to branching order and shoot age, while axillary buds were compared between three zones (distal, median and proximal) along 1-year-old annual shoots in order 1. The percentage of winter buds that differentiated into inflorescences was determined and the flowers in each bud were counted for each bud category. The other organ categories considered were scales and leaf primordia. The results confirmed that a certain number of organs must be initiated before floral differentiation occurred. The minimum limit was estimated at about 15 organs on average, including scales. Total number of lateral organs formed was shown to vary with both bud position and meristem age, increasing from newly formed meristems to 1- and 2-year-old meristems on different shoot types. These differences in bud organogenesis depending on bud position, were consistent with the morphogenetic gradients observed in apple tree architecture. Axillary buds did not contain more than 15 organs on average and this low organogenetic activity of the meristems was related to a low number of flowers per bud. In contrast, the other bud categories contained more than 15 differentiated organs on average and a trade-off was observed between leaf and flower primordia. The ratio between the number of leaf and flower primordia per bud varied with shoot type. When the terminal buds on long shoots and spurs were compared, those on long shoots showed more flowers and a higher ratio of leaf to flower primordia.     

红光与远红光比值对温室切花菊形态指标、叶面积及干物质分配的影响

以切花菊品种‘神马’(Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat ‘Jinba’)为试材,于2010-2011年设计不同红光(R: (660 ±10) nm)与远红光(FR: (730±10)nm)比值(R/FR分别为0.5、2.5、4.5、6.5)的LED灯照射处理,研究不同R/FR值对温室切花菊形态指标、叶面积形成及干物质分配的影响。结果显示R/FR=2.5处理的植株叶片数、株高、茎粗、花径、叶面积及总干重均为各个处理中最高,R/FR=0.5处理的节间最长。所有R/FR处理的单株地上干物质重量与光质处理天数呈指数-线性模型。随处理天数的增加不同R/FR值处理菊花植株地上部分及地下部分干物质分配指数差异均不显著,叶片和花的干物质分配指数随处理天数的增加分别呈降低和升高的趋势,茎干物质分配指数则呈现先升高后降低的趋势,R/FR=2.5处理下,菊花叶片干物质分配指数和花干物质分配指数最高,而茎干物质分配指数却为最低;R/FR=6.5处理茎干物质分配指数最高,叶片干物质分配指数最低;0.5处理花朵干物质分配指数最低,说明远红光比例增加能够促进干物质向茎中分配,R/FR=2.5处理利于干物质向花朵中分配。     

辣椒拟种群对模拟昆虫捕食行为的反应

基于拟种群理论,动用方差分析法、主分量分析法及植物生长分析法,研究７月高温期辣椒拟种群不同程度的剪叶对模拟短期虫害的反应。结果表明,辣椒具有较强的补偿能力;老叶的数量、干重和叶面积随剪叶程度的增加而下降,新叶则相反,但总叶数量相近;总叶面积和干重受老叶影响大,差异显著;枝的数量、干重、长度差异不显著;果、花、花蕾的数量差异也不显著,但干重差异显著;用数量指标代替干重、叶面积和长度等指标来进行植物的
