西南喀斯特石漠化环境适生植物构树细根、根际土壤化学计量特征

为了解西南喀斯特石漠化适生植物构树(Broussonetia papyrifera)对贫瘠土壤养分环境的适应策略, 及其细根、根际土壤的化学计量特征对石漠化等级的响应, 该研究以西南喀斯特石漠化环境适生植物构树为研究对象, 运用生态化学计量学方法, 开展不同等级石漠化环境构树细根、根际土壤有机碳(C)、全氮(N)、全磷(P)、全钾(K)、全钙(Ca)及全镁(Mg)养分含量特征及C、N、P化学计量特征研究。结果表明, 除Ca含量外, 喀斯特石漠化环境适生植物构树细根、根际土壤的养分含量均处于较低水平; 细根N:P为12.59, 表明构树生长受N和P共同限制; 随着石漠化等级的增加, 细根C、N含量和C:N、C:P呈先降后升的变化趋势, K、P含量是则表现为先升后降, Ca、Mg含量和N:P无明显变化规律; 不同等级石漠化环境中的构树根际土壤N、P、K、Ca含量呈不同的变化趋势, 而C、Mg含量及C、N、P化学计量特征的变化较不显著; 细根与根际土壤的化学计量特征之间存在显著的相关性, 二者的C、P、Ca、Mg含量、C:N、C:P分别对应呈显著正相关关系, 而N含量呈极显著负相关关系; 细根的K含量则较为稳定, 几乎不受根际土壤养分的影响。     

红花对土壤矿质元素的吸收和积累

采用电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱法(ICP-AES)检测红花不同部位和时期以及栽培土壤中K、Ca、Na、Mg、Fe、Cu、Zn、Mn、Cr、Cd、Pb、Ba、Ni和Al元素的含量。结果表明:红花各部位矿质元素含量差异明显。在红花各不同部位中K、Fe、Zn元素在幼苗中含量最高,Ca、Mg元素在成熟叶中含量最高,Cu元素在种子中含量最高;而K和Ca元素在种子中含量最低,Mg、Fe、Cu和Zn元素分别在花、茎、成熟叶和茎中含量最低。红花的幼苗和花对K元素吸收积累明显,幼苗和种子对Cu元素吸收积累明显,Ca元素在成熟叶中积累较多,相应元素含量远比土壤中相应的元素含量高。红花对土壤不同矿质元素的吸收利用差异较大,在长期栽培红花的土壤中应注意对吸收利用多的元素结合施肥进行补充。     

不同产地黄芩中无机元素含量及其与根际土壤无机元素的关系

药用植物中各无机元素含量的不仅影响药用植物的生长发育,也是药材有效成分的构成因子。通过对全国范围内16个不同产地(即居群)的92个野生黄芩(Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi)样本及其相应的根际土壤中10种无机元素含量的分析,发现不同产地黄芩及其根际土壤无机元素都有很大变异,且不同产地黄芩根际土壤中无机元素的变异远大于黄芩药材中无机元素的变异。总体来看,黄芩中Mg(9级)含量较其他植物含量高;P(1级)、K(2级)、Mn(3级)含量与其他植物相比处处较低水平;黄芩对Sr(富集系数达到3.52)有较强富集。并且通过无机元素分布曲线分析建立了无机元素指纹谱,主成分分析筛选出黄芩主要特征无机元素为Mg、K、Ca、Fe、Zn。本研究还表明,黄芩对各元素的吸收能力受产地的影响较大,提示黄芩对无机元素的吸收与各产地根际土壤无机元素有一定关联性。     

水位变化对三峡库区消落带狗牙根种群营养特征的影响

为探讨三峡库区大尺度、反季节水位变化对消落带狗牙根种养元素吸收和分配特征的影响, 分别测定了三个样带的营养元素含量。结果表明: 根、茎、叶中大量元素含量顺序为N>K>P, 中量元素含量顺序为Ca>S>Mg, 微量元素为Fe>Zn>Cu>Mn。根系对K、Mg、S、Fe、Mn、Zn 的吸收均被促进, 而对P 和Ca 的吸收被显著抑制, 低水位根系对N、Cu 的吸收也被显著促进。高水位茎和叶中N、P、K、Mg、S、Cu 的含量呈降低趋势, Ca、Fe、Mn 含量呈显著增大趋势, 且茎中Zn 含量也呈增加趋势。随着水位的降低N、P、K、Mg、S、Zn 含量显著增加, 在叶片中的含量显著大于根、茎, 而Fe、Mn、Cu 表现出主要向茎分布的趋势, 且Ca 在叶中的分配显著被抑制, 而在茎中的分配被促进。随着水位降低新叶中N、P、K、Mg、S 的含量明显高于老叶, 而Fe、Ca、Mn、Zn 和Cu 则相反。随着分枝级数增大N、P、K 的含量呈递增趋势, Ca、Cu、Fe、Zn 呈递减趋势, 而Mg、S 含量呈“∨”形变化。因此, 库区水位已导致消落狗牙根种群营养特征发生显著的变化。     

根际中硅、铁、锰和铝的状况与水稻生长

本文以根盒试验与盆栽试验相结合的方法,研究了红壤性水稻土、淀浆白土、第四纪红土和赤红壤植稻后根际微生态系统中Si、Fe、Mn和Al等元素的状况及其与水稻生长的关系。结果表明,新垦红壤植稻后根际中活性Fe和Al富集;活性Mn量降低,但亏缺率小;活性Si则亏缺不明显,有时甚至富集。而熟化水稻土植稻后根际中活性Fe和Al则出现亏缺;Mn的亏缺较大,且差值明显;活性Si的亏缺现象更为显著。由于新垦红壤植稻后Fe和Al在根际微生态系统中富集,根茎叶中累积量较高,从而使Si、P和Mn等元素的吸收受阻,导致新垦红壤上水稻生长明显比熟化水稻土上的水稻要差。     

X-ray microanalytical studies of mineral localization in the needles of white pine (Pinus strobus L.)

Eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.) shoots from mature trees were collected from two sites of contrasting soil pH: the Glendon campus of York University in Toronto, Ontario (pH 6.7 at 40 cm); and Muskoka near Huntsville, Ontario (pH 4.2 at 40 cm). Needles of ages 1-3 years were removed from the shoots, and the percentage of ash and silica was determined for all ages. Other needles were frozen in liquid nitrogen and kept in a cryo-biological storage system before x-ray microanalysis. Percentages of ash and silica were higher in the needles from Muskoka. Ash and silica increased with needle age for trees from the Muskoka site, but less so at the Toronto site. Of the 13 elements (Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu and Zn) detected by microanalysis, Mn, Fe, Cu and Zn were detected in small amounts in the epidermis, endodermis and transfusion tissue (the layer of tracheids and parenchyma immediately surrounding the vascular bundles), and K, P, S and Cl were almost ubiquitous in distribution. Sodium was occasionally detected in the transfusion tissue, and magnesium was concentrated in the endodermal cells. The epidermal walls, transfusion tissue and endodermis were major sites of calcium localization. Silicon was concentrated in the extreme tips of the needles in all tissues, but particularly in the transfusion tissue, and more so in the Muskoka samples. Microanalysis revealed a higher Al content in the Muskoka needles, that Al was concentrated in the needle tips and that the transfusion tissues were major sites of accumulation.     

The effect of aluminium on uptake and distribution of magnesium and calcium in roots of mycorrhizal Norway spruce seedlings

Spruce seedlings ( Picea abies (L.) Karst.) colonized with Lactarius rufus (Scop.) Fr. or Lactarius theiogalus Fr. were grown in an axenic silica sand culture system with frequently renewed nutrient solution. After successful mycorrhizal colonization the seedlings were exposed to 800 μ M Al(NO₃)₃ (pH 3.9) for 13 or 17 weeks. Concentrations of Al, Mg, and Ca in the tissues of the mycorrhizal root tips were determined by X-ray microanalysis. After 13 or 17 weeks of exposure to Al, high Al concentrations were found in cell walls of all mycorrhizal tissues except the stele tissues. Compared to the controls Mg levels in most of the mycorrhizal structures were reduced by Al treatment. Calcium levels in cortex cell walls of root tips colonized with L. rufus were reduced by exposure to Al. However, in cell walls of the stele Ca levels were significantly increased. No differences in Al or Mg levels were detected in structures of mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal root tips from the same individual seedlings. These results suggest that (1) the endodermis is the primary barrier to radial Al transport and (2) the presence of a hyphal sheath did not prevent Al from reaching the root cortex and from displacing Mg and Ca.     

Interspecific root interactions and rhizosphere effects on salt ions and nutrient uptake between mixed grown peanut/maize and peanut/barley in original saline-sodic-boron toxic soil

Two glasshouse studies were conducted to investigate the effect of interspecific complementary and competitive root interactions and rhizosphere effects on the concentration and uptake of Na, Cl and B, and N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn and Mn nutrition of mixed cropped peanut with maize (Experiment I), and barley (Experiment II) grown in nutrient-poor saline-sodic and B toxic soil. Mixed cropped plants were grown in either higher density or lower density. The results of the experiment revealed that dry shoot weight decreased in peanut but increased in maize and barley with associated plant species compared to their monoculture. Shoot Na and Cl concentrations of peanut decreased significantly in both experiments, regardless of higher or lower density. The concentrations of Na also decreased in the shoots of mixed cropped maize and barley, but Cl concentrations increased slightly. The concentration of B significantly decreased in mixed cropping in all plant species regardless of higher or lower density. Rhizosphere chemistry was strongly and differentially modified by the roots of peanut, maize and barley, and mixed growing. There were significant correlations between the root-secreted acid phosphatases (S-APase), acid phosphatase in rhizosphere (RS-APase) and rhizosphere P concentration (RS-P) in the both experiments. The Fe-solubilizing activity (Fe-SA) and ferric reducing (FR) capacity of the roots were generally higher in mixed culture relative to their monoculture, which improved Fe, Zn and Mn nutrition of peanut. Further, there were also significant correlations among FR, Fe-SA and RS-Fe concentrations. Peanut facilitated P nutrition of maize and barley, while maize and barley improved K, Fe, Zn and Mn nutrition of peanut grown in nutrient-poor saline-sodic and B toxic soil.     

植物对硅的吸收转运机制研究进展

硅(Si)能缓解生物与非生物胁迫对植物的毒害作用,Si的吸收转运是由Si转运蛋白介导的.最近,多个Si转运蛋白(Lsi)基因相继在水稻、大麦和玉米中被克隆出来,并在Si的吸收转运机制方面取得了很大进展.水稻OsLsi在根组织中呈极性分布,OsLsi1定位在根外皮层和内皮层凯氏带细胞外侧质膜,负责将外部溶液中的单硅酸转运到皮层细胞内.OsLsi2定位在凯氏带细胞内侧质膜,在外皮层中负责将Si输出到通气组织质外体中,在内皮层与OsLsi1协同作用将Si转运到中柱中.导管中的Si通过蒸腾流转运到地上部,再由定位在叶鞘和叶片木质部薄壁细胞靠近导管一侧的OsLsi6负责木质部Si的卸载和分配.在大麦和玉米中,ZmLsi1/HvLsi1定位在根表皮和皮层细胞外侧质膜负责Si的吸收,然后Si通过共质体途径被转运到内皮层凯氏带细胞中,再由ZmLsi2/HvLsi2输出转运到中柱中.ZmLsi6在细胞中的定位和活性与OsLsi6相似,推测其可能具有类似的功能,但大麦Lsi6至今未见报道.所以,Si转运机制仍需要进一步研究.     

The binding of zinc in root cells of crop plants by phytic acid

Appreciable quantities of Zn are bound as Zn phytate (myo-inositol kis-hexaphosphate) within small vacuoles of cortical cells in the elongation zone of root tips of zinc tolerant Deschampsia caespitosa. These Zn/P-containing globular deposits have now been shown to occur in the roots of soybean, lucerne, lupins, tomato, rapeseed, cabbage, radish, wheat and maize. The globules are most frequent in the endodermis and pericycle but may also occur in the stele and inner cortex. The X-ray data again confirmed the presence of phytate with a relatively stable proportion of Zn and a species-dependent, variable, proportion of K, Mg and Ca to P.Analysis of soybean plants by atomic absorption spectroscopy showed that the Zn concentration in the shoots doubled in response to an increase in Zn supply from 1 to 100 M while the concentration of Zn in the root symplast was approximately 22 times greater than in the shoot, suggesting restricted transport to the shoot. It is suggested that the genetic expression of the capacity to bind heavy metals by means of phytate in endodermal cells may provide a strategy for keeping the above-ground content of heavy metals low. It may be possible to incorporate the trait into transformed roots that can be utilized for the treatment of industrial wastes.     

Subcellular localization of mineral deposits in the roots of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Summary Mineral distribution in the roots of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Wheaton) was investigated using X-ray microanalysis of bulk frozen hydrated roots in SEM and of freeze substituted sections in TEM. Results obtained using the two methods agreed reasonably well. A total often elements were detected: Na, Mg, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Mn, and Fe. Of these Si, P, Ca, and Mn were incorporated into biomineralized structures. Silica was deposited in the endodermal walls in the older parts of the root. Silicon was also detected in the large central metaxylem lumina in the basal zone of the root, and in the smaller peripheral metaxylem and the immediately contiguous pericycle and outer parenchyma cells bridging the small metaxylem vessels to the endodermal layer. In the basal zone of the root some of the inner cortical cells contained intracellular electron opaque deposits. These were associated with the cell walls, had non-opaque inclusions and microanalysis revealed that they consisted of calcium, phosphorus and manganese.Abbreviations A apical zone of root - M midzone of root - B basal zone of root - SEM scanning electron microscope - TEM transmission electron microscope     

Root endophytic Chaetomium cupreum promotes plant growth and detoxifies aluminum in Miscanthus sinensis Andersson growing at the acidic mine site

Miscanthus sinensis Andersson grows naturally at the Hitachi mine. The root‐zone soil was acidic and contained high concentrations of Cu, Pb, Zn and exchangeable Al. Adventitious roots accumulated high concentrations of Al and Fe, but not other heavy metals. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the mechanism of tolerance of Al in M. sinensis, focusing on its chemical interaction with root endophytes. We isolated Chaetomium cupreum, which produced siderophores, from adventitious roots of M. sinensis via CAS assay. In inoculation tests, C. cupreum promoted M. sinensis seedling growth and increased Al and Fe uptake in the roots, although C. cupreum did not stimulate M. sinensis to produce Al detoxicants, such as citric and malic acids. Observation of the pattern of Al localization in the roots clarified that C. cupreum reduced Al toxicity in M. sinensis via compartmentalizing Al into fungal mycelia surrounding the roots and creating a less toxic Al‐localization pattern, allocating Al to the epidermis, endodermis and stele of roots. In conclusion, our results indicated that C. cupreum increases Al tolerance in M. sinensis growing at the acidic mine site.
