本文比较研究了等渗ＮａＣｌ和ＫＣｌ胁迫下,高粱幼苗生长及叶片离子含量、质膜相对透性和有关气体交换参数的变化。结果表明,在低浓度ＮａＣｌ和ＫＣｌ胁迫７天时,高粱生长、含水量和质膜相对透性与对照相比没有明显变化,而净光合速率、蒸腾速率和气孔导度已明显下降,叶肉细胞间隙ＣＯ２浓度明显增加。ＮａＣｌ胁迫下叶片Ｎａ＋含量成倍增加,而Ｋ＋和Ｃａ２＋含量无明显变化。ＫＣｌ胁迫时叶片Ｋ＋含量明显增加,Ｃａ２＋含量明显下降,而Ｎａ＋含量没有明显变化。随着ＮａＣｌ或ＫＣｌ浓度的增加,幼苗生长和叶片含水量明显下降,质膜透性和细胞间隙ＣＯ２浓度明显增加,净光合速率、蒸腾速率和气孔导度进一步下降。ＮａＣｌ胁迫下叶片Ｎａ＋含量进一步增加,Ｋ＋和Ｃａ２＋进一步下降,而ＫＣｌ胁迫下叶片Ｋ＋含量进一步增加,Ｎａ＋和Ｃａ２＋含量进一步下降。ＫＣｌ对高粱生长抑制、质膜透性、Ｃａ２＋含量下降及光合气体交换参数的影响均明显大于等渗的ＮａＣｌ。     

大气CO2浓度和温度升高对水稻叶片及群体光合作用的影响

大气ＣＯ２浓度升高对植物光合作用的影响研究多集中在单叶水平,在高ＣＯ２及高温下对植物单叶及群体光合进行比较的研究少有报道,而群体水平的研究则是预测生态系统反应所不可缺少的。采用田间开顶式培养室研究了大气ＣＯ２浓度和温度升高对水稻（ＯｒｙｚａｓａｔｉｖａＬ．）叶片及群体光合作用的影响。发现ＣＯ２浓度和温度对水稻叶片光合作用有协同促进作用,而对群体光合作用的促进则随时间的推移而减弱;单叶光合受到的促进作用大于群体光合;叶面积指数只在营养生长期受到促进,冠层叶片含氮量受ＣＯ２影响降低。群体呼吸（包括茎杆）增加及冠层叶片早衰可能是后期ＣＯ２对群体光合促进作用下降的原因。     

高CO2浓度下豆科4种乔木幼苗的生理生化反应

本文对４种豆科乔木幼苗在高ＣＯ２浓度（５５０×１０－６±５０×１０－６）和在对照ＣＯ２浓度（约为３５０×１０－６）下生长的幼苗的一些生理生化指标进行了比较研究。初步结果显示：高ＣＯ２浓度能缩短幼苗子叶的存活时间。高ＣＯ２环境下生长的４种幼苗叶片中的可溶性蛋白、可溶性糖、纤维素、Ｎ、Ｐ、Ｋ、Ｍｇ的含量（均为全量）较对照ＣＯ２环境下生长的幼苗的相应值低,而淀粉含量则较高。其中以全氮、可溶性糖差异较显著。以单位鲜重表示的幼苗叶片叶绿素（Ｃｈｌ）和类胡萝卜素（Ｃａｒ）含量降低。高ＣＯ２浓度下生长的４种幼苗（３０天龄）叶片中硝酸还原酶活性比对照ＣＯ２浓度下生长的幼苗的值低。高ＣＯ２浓度下生长的４种幼苗叶片的平均蒸腾速率有不同程度的降低,而气孔阻力升高。幼苗对高ＣＯ２环境的反应与种的生态特性有关。喜光的大叶合欢幼苗对高ＣＯ２环境的反应较大,喜光而具一定耐荫性的猴耳环幼苗次之,而耐荫的光叶红豆和茸荚红豆幼苗则较小     

过氧化氢对蚕豆气孔运动和质膜K^＋通道的影响

不同浓度Ｈ２Ｏ２可使蚕豆（Ｖｉｃｉａ ｆａｂａ Ｌ．）叶片气孔关闭,抑制气孔张开,１０ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ的Ｈ２Ｏ２最有效,１０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ的Ｈ２Ｏ２仍明显使气孔关闭。且１０μｍｏｌ／Ｌ的Ｈ２Ｏ２抑制气孔张开作用能被ＥＧＴＡ所消除,表明Ｃａ＾２＋参与低浓度Ｈ２Ｏ２使气孔关闭的过程。２ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ的Ｈ２Ｏ２可使质膜内向Ｋ＾＋通道电流明显减小而外向Ｋ＾＋通道电流显著增加。因此,Ｈ２Ｏ２促进蚕豆气孔关闭主要是通

鹅掌楸(Liriodendron chinense)苗期光合特性的研究

用ＣＩＤ－３０１ＰＳ便携式光合作用测定仪的开放系统研究了生长于庐山山地上的鹅掌楸苗期叶片的光合特性及其对遮荫的响应与适应性。结果表明：①在夏季晴天、土壤供水充足的条件下,鹅掌楸苗期向阳叶片的光合速率有明显的午休现象,这可能与气孔限制和光抑制有关。②鹅掌楸苗期的光饱和点为１２００μｍｏｌｐｈｏｔｏｎｓ／ｍ２ｓ左右,光补偿点为２０μｍｏｌｐｈｏｔｏｎｓ／ｍ２·ｓ左右。说明鹅掌楸苗期是具有一定耐荫能力的阳性植物。③鹅掌楸苗期叶片的羧化效率为０．０２左右,ＣＯ２补偿点为６０μｍｏｌ／ｍｏｌ。说明鹅掌楸为Ｃ３型植物。④鹅掌楸向阳叶片的光能利用率较低,约为０．９４％。⑤鹅掌楸苗期叶片的蒸腾速率、气孔阻力和胞间ＣＯ２浓度对遮荫的响应在一天中随时间而变化。⑥逐步回归分析表明：光合有效辐射、气孔阻力和胞间ＣＯ２浓度等对鹅掌楸叶片光合速率的影响最大。

Structural Response of Soybean Leaf to Elevated CO２ Concentration

The effects of CO2 concentration on the morphological and anatomical characters of soybean (Glycine max) leaf were investigated by means of light microscopy and SEM. It was noticed that exomorphology did not show dramatic change, while stomatal density decreased with increasing CO2 concentration. Under SEM, no epicuticular wax was observed on both abaxial and adaxial sides of the control group as well as on adaxial side of the treatment group. However, leaf surface of abaxial side was noticed to be densely covered with microasterisk epicuticular wax when they were exposed to CO2-enriched environment. The epicuticular wax deposition was present in equal abundance on both stomatal and nonstomatal areas. Furthermore, leaf thickness increased significantly due largely to the origin of an extra layer of palisade in the treatment group. The results confirmed that CO2 enrichment might enhance cell division and induce greater quantity of epicuticular wax.     

Comparative Epidermal Ultrastructure of Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Leaf, Bract and Capsule Wall

Cotton leaves are more physiologically active than the bractand the capsule wall of the fruiting structures. To elucidatethe disparities in their physiological behaviour, epidermalcell density, stomatal index, stomatal size, trichome densityand type, and epicuticular wax ultrastructure of cotton leaf,bract and capsule wall were delineated using scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM). The epidermal cells of the outer periclinalwalls on both surfaces of the leaf and bract were raised andconvex. Conversely, the capsule wall epidermal cells were polygonalwith flat outer periclinal walls. The stomatal complex in theleaf and bract was paracytic, whereas in the capsule wall thestomatal complex was anomocytic. The adaxial and abaxial stomataof the leaf were coplanar to the epidermal surface, as opposedto the raised adaxial stomata on the bract. On the contrary,the stomata on the capsule wall surface appeared to be slightlysunken. Furthermore, the capsule wall stomata were larger thanthe stomata on either surface of both the leaf and the bract.The stomatal index was greater on the abaxial surfaces of theleaf and the bract (18.4 and 9.4, respectively) than their correspondingadaxial surfaces (14.4 and 4.7, respectively). Leaves had thehighest stomatal index followed by the bract and the capsulewall. The indumentum consisted of glandular and nonglandulartrichomes, the density of which was greater on the abaxial surfacesthan on the adaxial surfaces of the leaf and bract. The capsulewall indumentum lacked nonglandular trichomes. Epicuticularwax occurred in the form of striations. However, the striationpattern varied among the organs. This study clearly illustratesmorphological disparities in the epidermal features of leaf,bract and capsule wall, helping to explain their physiologicaldivergence.

Specification of adaxial and abaxial stomata, epidermal structure and photosynthesis to CO2 enrichment in maize leaves

Acclimation to CO2 enrichment was studied in maize plants grown to maturity in either 350 or 700 microl l-1 CO2. Plants grown with CO2 enrichment were significantly taller than those grown at 350 microl l-1 CO2 but they had the same number of leaves. High CO2 concentration led to a marked decrease in whole leaf chlorophyll and protein. The ratio of stomata on the adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces was similar in all growth conditions, but the stomatal index was considerably increased in plants grown at 700 microl l-1 CO2. Doubling the atmospheric CO2 content altered epidermal cell size leading to fewer, much larger cells on both leaf surfaces. The photosynthesis and transpiration rates were always higher on the abaxial surface than the adaxial surface. CO2 uptake rates increased as atmospheric CO2 was increased up to the growth concentrations on both leaf surfaces. Above these values, CO2 uptake on the abaxial surface was either stable or increased as CO2 concentration increased. In marked contrast, CO2 uptake rates on the adaxial surface were progressively inhibited at concentrations above the growth CO2 value, whether light was supplied directly to this or the abaxial surface. These results show that maize leaves adjust their stomatal densities through changes in epidermal cell numbers rather than stomatal numbers. Moreover, the CO2-response curve of photosynthesis on the adaxial surface is specifically determined by growth CO2 abundance and tracks transpiration. Conversely, photosynthesis on the abaxial surface is largely independent of CO2 concentration and rather independent of stomatal function.     

What do microbes encounter at the plant surface? Chemical composition of pea leaf cuticular waxes

In the cuticular wax mixtures from leaves of pea (Pisum sativum) cv Avanta, cv Lincoln, and cv Maiperle, more than 70 individual compounds were identified. The adaxial wax was characterized by very high amounts of primary alcohols (71%), while the abaxial wax consisted mainly of alkanes (73%). An aqueous adhesive of gum arabic was employed to selectively sample the epicuticular wax layer on pea leaves and hence to analyze the composition of epicuticular crystals exposed at the outermost surface of leaves. The epicuticular layer was found to contain 74% and 83% of the total wax on adaxial and abaxial surfaces, respectively. The platelet-shaped crystals on the adaxial leaf surface consisted of a mixture dominated by hexacosanol, accompanied by substantial amounts of octacosanol and hentriacontane. In contrast, the ribbon-shaped wax crystals on the abaxial surface consisted mainly of hentriacontane (63%), with approximately 5% each of hexacosanol and octacosanol being present. Based on this detailed chemical analysis of the wax exposed at the leaf surface, their importance for early events in the interaction with host-specific pathogenic fungi can now be evaluated. On adaxial surfaces, approximately 80% of Erysiphe pisi spores germinated and 70% differentiated appressoria. In contrast, significantly lower germination efficiencies (57%) and appressoria formation rates (49%) were found for abaxial surfaces. In conclusion, the influence of the physical structure and the chemical composition of the host surface, and especially of epicuticular leaf waxes, on the prepenetration processes of biotrophic fungi is discussed.     

Epicuticular wax crystals of Wollemia nobilis: morphology and chemical composition

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The morphology of the epicuticular leaf waxes of Wollemia nobilis (Araucariaceae) was studied with special emphasis on the relationship between the microstructure of epicuticular wax crystals and their chemical composition. Wollemia nobilis is a unique coniferous tree of the family Araucariaceae and is of very high scientific value as it is the sole living representative of an ancient genus, which until 1994 was known only from fossils. METHODS: Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), gas chromatography (GC) combined with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) were used for characterizing the morphology and the chemical structure of the epicuticular wax layer of W. nobilis needles. KEY RESULTS: The main component of the leaf epicuticular wax of W. nobilis is nonacosan-10-ol. This secondary alcohol together with nonacosane diols is responsible for the tubular habit of the epicuticular wax crystals. Scanning electron micrographs revealed differences in the fine structure of adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces that could be explained by gas chromatographic studies after selective mechanical removal of the waxes. CONCLUSIONS: SEM investigations established the tubular crystalline microstructure of the epicuticular wax of W. nobilis leaves. GC-MS and NMR experiments showed that nonacosan-10-ol is the major constituent of the epicuticular wax of W. nobilis leaves.     

Epidermal conductance in different parts of durum wheat grown under Mediterranean conditions: the role of epicuticular waxes and stomata

Abstract. Epidermal (non-stomatally-controlled) conductance from the fourth leaf, first node leaf, flag leaf and ear of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum var durum L.) grown under Mediterranean field conditions has been measured, along with leaf stomatal frequency and the amount and distribution of epicuticular waxes. Measurements were carried out on varieties and land-races from the Middle East, North Africa, ‘Institut National de la Recherche Agricole’ (INRA) and ‘Centra Internacional de Mejora de Maiz y Trigo’ (CIMMYT). Significant differences were observed among genotypes in the epidermal conductances (g_e) of the four organs. For each of the four organs tested, genotypes from the Middle East and CIMMYT showed higher g_e. values than those from North Africa and INRA. Ears showed epidermal conductances that were more than four times higher than those of leaves when g_e. values were expressed per unit dry weight. The amount of epicuticular waxes was higher in the fourth leaves, intermediate in the first node and flag leaves and lower in the ears. For each organ, g_e differences among genotypes were unrelated with the amount of epicuticular waxes. Removal of epicuticular waxes by dipping the organs into chloroform significantly increased the epidermal conductance for the fourth and first node leaves and the ear. However, this did not occur for the flag leaf. For the fourth leaf, g_e of intact leaves and g_e of leaves in which epicuticular waxes were removed were unrelated (r = -0.265). The regression coefficient of this relation for the first node and flag leaves showed values of 0.666 and 0.650 (P > 0.05), respectively, and values were even higher in the ear (r > m 0.892, P > 0.01). Scanning electron microscope analysis showed that wax bloom decreased from the fourth leaf to the flag leaf, whereas the extent of amorphous wax increased. Wax bloom in leaves consisted mainly of deposits of thin wax plates. In the ears and the adaxial surface of flag leaves, fibrillar waxes predominated. In the first node and flag leaves, the wax deposits on the adaxial side cover the surface of the leaf more densely and uniformly than those on the abaxial side. There was no significant correlation between g_e and total stomatal density, or between g_e and either adaxial or abaxial stomatal density for any sample of the three different leaves. The contribution of epicuticular waxes plus total stomatal frequency only explained 42.4, 11.8, 28.3 and 16% of g_e (per unit leaf area) variations for the fourth leaf, first node leaf, flag leaf and the combined variation of the three leaves together, respectively. From these results, it is concluded that complex interrelationship between different morphophysiological characteristics probably control g_e differences among genotypes and that these interrelationships differ for each different plant part.     

Two sides of a leaf blade: <Emphasis Type="Italic">Blumeria graminis</Emphasis> needs chemical cues in cuticular waxes of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Lolium perenne</Emphasis> for germination and differentiation

Plant surface characteristics were repeatedly shown to play a pivotal role in plant–pathogen interactions. The abaxial leaf surface of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) is extremely glossy and wettable compared to the glaucous and more hydrophobic adaxial surface. Earlier investigations have demonstrated that the abaxial leaf surface was rarely infected by powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis), even when the adaxial surface was densely colonized. This led to the assumption that components of the abaxial epicuticular leaf wax might contribute to the observed impairment of growth and development of B. graminis conidia on abaxial surfaces of L. perenne. To re-assess this hypothesis, we analyzed abundance and chemical composition of L. perenne ab- and adaxial epicuticular wax fractions. While the adaxial epicuticular waxes were dominated by primary alcohols and esters, the abaxial fraction was mainly composed of n-alkanes and aldehydes. However, the major germination and differentiation inducing compound, the C₂₆-aldehyde n-hexacosanal, was not present in the abaxial epicuticular waxes. Spiking of isolated abaxial epicuticular Lolium waxes with synthetically produced n-hexacosanal allowed reconstituting germination and differentiation rates of B. graminis in an in vitro germination assay using wax-coated glass slides. Hence, the absence of the C₂₆-aldehyde from the abaxial surface in combination with a distinctly reduced surface hydrophobicity appears to be primarily responsible for the failure of normal germling development of B. graminis on the abaxial leaf surfaces of L. perenne.     

西安市常见绿化植物叶片润湿性能及其影响因素

利用接触角测定仪测定了西安市21种常见绿化植物叶片表面的接触角,探讨了叶片表面特性如蜡质、绒毛、气孔对接触角的影响。结果表明,植物叶片正背面、物种间的接触角差异均显著,叶片正面和背面接触角大小在40°～140°。接触角大小与变异系数呈负相关,可能由于接触角小的润湿叶片在不同的生境和位置下,受到环境条件的影响较大而出现大的变异;接触角较大的非润湿性叶片,环境物质持留时间较短,对叶片形态和组成影响较小,因而出现小的变异。植物叶片表面的接触角随蜡质含量的升高而增大。表皮蜡质去除后大部分叶片接触角明显降低,尤其是疏水性较强的银杏(Ginkgo biloba)、月季(Ro-sa chinensis)和紫叶小檗(Berberis thunbergii)。女贞(Ligustrum lucidum)正背面、加杨(Popu-lus canadensis)背面等亲水型的叶片蜡质去除后接触角反而增大。叶片绒毛的多少及其形态、分布方式对接触角具有重要的影响,不同的作用方式表现出润湿和不润湿的特征,人为将其去除可以增加叶片的润湿性。背面气孔密度与气孔长度、保卫细胞长度呈负相关;接触角则与气孔密度呈负相关,与气孔长度呈正相关。     

Ultrastructure of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Eucalyptus grandis</Emphasis> × <Emphasis Type="Italic">E. urophylla</Emphasis> plants cultivated ex vitro in greenhouse and field conditions

The young and expanded leaf micromorphology and ultrastructure of Eucalyptus grandis 2 E. urophylla juvenile plants, cultivated in greenhouse and field conditions, were analyzed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. In greenhouse leaves epicuticular wax needles covered the abaxial and adaxial surfaces. On the adaxial surface, the needles form an atypical arrangement in lines, mainly over the anticlinal wall of epidermis cells. After plant transfer to field conditions, the organization of epicuticular wax was altered forming amorphous layers on the adaxial leaf surface, in contrast to the abaxial surface, which maintained the wax needle cover. In both culture conditions the lamellar cuticle formed on the young leaves surface disappeared during leaf enlargement. The ex vitro environment induced the development of hypostomatic leaves. The dorsiventral organization of greenhouse leaves was replaced by an isobilateral arrangement in field conditions with concomitant aerial space reduction. Results suggest that those structural changes may be some of the strategies to avoid excessive plant transpiration during Eucalyptus hybrid plants' acclimatization.     

Distinct light responses of the adaxial and abaxial stomata in intact leaves of Helianthus annuus L

Using a laboratory-constructed system that can measure the gas exchange rates of two leaf surfaces separately, the light responses of the adaxial and abaxial stomata in intact leaves of sunflower ( Helianthus annuus L.) were investigated, keeping the intercellular CO₂ concentration ( C _i) at 300  µ L L⁻¹. When evenly illuminating both sides of the leaf, the stomatal conductance ( g _s) of the abaxial surface was higher than that of the adaxial surface at any light intensity. When each surface of the leaf was illuminated separately, both the adaxial and abaxial stomata were more sensitive to the light transmitted through the leaf (self-transmitted light) than to direct illumination. Relationships between the whole leaf photosynthetic rate ( A _n) and the g _s for each side highlighted a strong dependence of stomatal opening on mesophyll photosynthesis. Light transmitted through another leaf was more effective than the direct white light for the abaxial stomata, but not for the adaxial stomata. Moreover, green monochromatic light induced an opening of the abaxial stomata, but not of the adaxial stomata. As the proportion of blue light in the transmitted light is less than that in the white light, there may be some uncharacterized light responses, which are responsible for the opening of the abaxial stomata by the transmitted, green light.
