在大田条件下,以大豆品种‘合丰50＇为材料,比较研究了在V3（第3节龄期,三叶期）、R1（初花期）和R3（始荚期）期叶面喷施DTA-6、S_（3307）和TIBA三种植物生长调节剂对大豆花荚脱落率及多聚半乳糖醛酸酶活性的影响。结果表明：V3期叶喷TIBA、S_（3307）、DTA降低了大豆花荚脱落率,降低了大豆花荚和脱落花荚多聚半乳糖醛酸酶活性;R1期叶喷植物生长调节剂显著降低了大豆花荚及脱落花荚中多聚半乳糖醛酸酶活性,以DTA-6调控效果最佳,S_（3307）次之;R3期叶喷植物生长调节剂降低了大豆荚及落荚的多聚半乳糖醛酸酶活性,以DTA-6调控效果最佳,TIBA次之。综合分析表明,V3、R1和R3期叶面喷施植物生长调节剂能够降低大豆花荚脱落率及多聚半乳糖醛酸酶活性,对大豆花荚的脱落有一定的调控作用,有利于提高产量,其综合调控效果为,V3期：S_（3307）〉DTA-6〉TIBA〉CK;R1期：DTA-6〉TIBA〉S_（3307）〉CK;R3期：DTA-6〉TIBA〉S_（3307）〉CK。     

桃果实成熟前后细胞壁成分和降解酶活性的变化及其与果实硬度的关系

比较桃品种‘双久红’和‘川中岛白桃’果实成熟前后20 d内果肉硬度、细胞壁成分和细胞壁降解酶活性变化的结果表明,桃果实成熟5 d后,‘双久红’桃果实的硬度、纤维素含量和原果胶含量均极显著高于‘川中岛白桃’:从成熟前15 d开始,‘双久红’的水溶性果胶含量、多聚半乳糖醛酸酶活性和纤维素酶活性均极显著低于‘川中岛白桃’;整个成熟期间,‘双久红’的果胶甲酯酶活性明显低于‘川中岛白桃’。相关分析表明,果实硬度与原果胶、纤维素含量呈极显著正相关,而与可溶性果胶含量、多聚半乳糖醛酸酶活性和纤维素酶活性呈极显著负相关。     

大豆花荚脱落的初步研究

1)扬州沙豆、岔路口两个品种的花荚脱落盛期是从开花盛期至开花末期,即由8月中下旬脱落最为严重,其中落花最多,落荚较少(见表3)。花荚脱落的持续时间较长,一般的要一个多月左右。2)脱落与花荚着生的部位有一定的关系。据观察结果,扬州沙豆(无限结荚习性)上部各节的花荚较下部各节易于脱落,岔路口(有限结荚习性)则相反。3)据40株(盆栽大田)观察结果,扬州沙豆、岔路口雨个品种的花荚脱落均相当严重。脱落率一般在50%左右,最高达80%以上(见表3)。指出了脱落率(包括花荚)与产量呈显著的负相关,即脱落率高,产量低。因此减少脱落是争取大豆丰收的途径之一。4)根据对20株(两品种各占一半)观察的结果,发现了扬州沙豆、岔路口两个品种的落花是顺序发生的,与开花的顺序性是一致的。5)根据我们对呼吸强度测定的结果可以看出:呼吸强度与花荚的脱落有着密切的关系,即呼吸强度与花荚的脱落成反比。     

土壤干旱胁迫和复水后3个杨树品种叶片部分生理指标变化及抗旱性评价

以美洲黑杨品种‘2025’（Populus×deltoides‘2025’）及其2个芽变彩叶品种‘全红杨’（P.×deltoides‘Quanhong’）和‘中红杨’（P.×deltoides‘Zhonghong’）当年生嫁接苗为实验材料,对土壤干旱胁迫0、4、7、14、21和28d以及复水7d后叶片中MDA含量及PPO、SOD、CAT和POD活性的变化以及MDA含量与4种酶活性的相关性进行了分析,并采用隶属函数法和灰色关联分析法对3个品种的抗旱性进行综合评价。结果表明：随干旱胁迫时间的延长,3个品种的MDA含量总体呈增加趋势,并在处理的中期和后期显著或极显著高于各自的对照;PPO和SOD活性总体上先升高后降低,均在处理的前期和中期高于各自的对照;‘中红杨’和‘2025’的CAT活性先升高后下降,而‘全红杨’的CAT活性持续下降,均在处理14d后极显著或显著低于各自的对照;‘全红杨’和‘2025’的POD活性先降低后升高且均低于各自的对照,而‘中红杨’的POD活性则呈波动趋势但总体上与对照无显著差异。复水7d后,3个品种的MDA含量均有所降低,而PPO和CAT活性均有所提高;‘全红杨’和‘2025’的SOD和POD活性升高,而‘中红杨’的SOD和POD活性则降低。在土壤干旱胁迫条件下,仅‘全红杨’的PPO和CAT活性与MDA含量以及‘中红杨’的CAT活性与MDA含量呈极显著负相关,各品种的其他酶活性与MDA含量均无显著相关性。‘全红杨’、‘中红杨’和‘2025’的平均隶属函数值分别为0.482、0.527和0.533,据此判断3个品种中‘2025’的抗旱性最强、‘全红杨’的抗旱性最弱。3个品种抗旱性与各生理指标的关联度均大于0.64,其中与CAT和PPO活性的关联度分别为0.793和0.761,因而,可将CAT和PPO活性作为评价杨树品种抗旱性的首选指标。     

遮光对蚕豆花荚形成和脱落的影响

本文旨在研究蚕豆开花前后不同时期光照强度对花荚形成和脱落的影响。产量补偿能力以及花荚形成和脱落的生理生态原因。蚕豆花前遮光,开花总数和结荚数降低,但花荚脱落率下降,粒重增加。花期和花后遮光,对开花总数没有明显影响,但花荚脱落严重,减产最多。任何时期遮光均使比叶重、遮光后期叶绿素含量、光合生产量、生殖器官干物质分配率,可溶性糖和含N量下降,但成熟期可溶性糖和含N量,营养元素吸收量不受影响。遮光导致花荚形 成和产量减少的主要原因是C／N比值下降,而不是改变营养元素的丰度所致。     

苦瓜果实不同发育时期细胞壁组分及相关酶活性的差异分析

为了解苦瓜(Momordica charantia)果实品质差异的原因，以厚肉型种质‘LX1-3’和薄肉型种质‘ZK54’为材料，对果实发育过程中细胞壁组分含量及相关酶活性进行了分析。结果表明，花后17 d，‘LX1-3’果实的横径(FD)、腔径(FLD)、果肉厚度(PT)、单瓜鲜质量(FFW)和干质量(FDW)均超过‘ZK54’。细胞壁组分和酶活性表现品种间差异，水溶性果胶含量整体水平表现为厚肉型高于薄肉型，且与PT、FFW和FDW呈显著正相关；花后17~23 d ‘LX1-3’的半纤维素(HCE)和纤维素(CE)含量均高于‘ZK54’；花后3 d，两种质的β-半乳糖苷酶(β-Gal)和β-木糖苷酶(β-Xyl)活性显著高于其他3个时期，多聚半乳糖醛酸酶(PG)、β-Gal和果胶酶变化趋势与离子型果胶和共价型果胶含量的变化一致。β-Gal、β-Xyl和纤维素酶活性与5个生长性状间呈极显著/显著负相关，PG与FD、FLD和PT呈极显著/显著负相关。因此，细胞壁组分和酶活性与果实发育密切相关，β-Xyl和β-Gal在苦瓜早期发育中发挥主要效应，而HCE和CE对果实中后期发育影响较大。     

植物激素在大豆生殖器官脱落过程中的变化(英)

研究了大田生长条件下,大豆品种──早12花及幼荚脱落过程中植物激素变化。结果表明,自盛花期始,位于大豆第8～12节位的花序,其上、中、下三个部分花荚的脱落率逐渐升高,至最后一次取样时,三部分花荚的脱落率分别为77．4％、54．7％和18．3％,说明同一花序的基部花荚不易脱落。由内源细胞分裂素（iPA,ZRs,DHZRs）的分析发现,基部幼荚在生长前期,其内源iPA、ZRs、DHZRs均出现一个含量高峰,总CTK含量明显高于中、下部,而在后期脱落酸含量则明显较低;后期基部幼荚的生长速率及干物质积累量均高于中、上部。可见,植物激素参与调控了大豆生殖器官的脱落过程。     

硬肉桃果实成熟前后钙含量和钙ATP酶活性的变化及其与果实硬度的关系

以硬肉桃新品种‘双久红’果实为试材,以常规优良品种‘川中岛白桃’为对照,分别研究了成熟前20d和成熟后20d内两品种果实中钙含量和Ca^2＋-ATP酶活性变化以及它们与果肉硬度关系的结果表明：‘双久红’果实的总钙和Ca^2＋含量从成熟前15d开始极显著高于同期‘川中岛白桃’的,两者与果实硬度变化呈极显著相关（P〈0．01）,随着果实的成熟两者均呈下降趋势,Ca^2＋-ATP酶的调控能力也逐渐减弱,但‘双久红’果实中的Ca^2＋-ATP酶活性比‘川中岛白桃’高一些。     

豇豆摘叶对产量与生理生化指标的影响

为明确摘除叶片对豇豆植株的落花率、成荚率、产量及生理生化指标的影响效果,以鄂豇豆6号为试验材料,在植株不同的生育时期摘除不同程度的叶片,统计了豇豆植株的落花率、成荚率及产量的高低,研究了蕾、花和荚的丙二醛、可溶性糖、多聚半乳糖醛酸酶、纤维素酶等指标的变化情况。结果表明,在初花期摘除1/3的叶片,与未摘叶对照相比,落花率降低了14.95%,成荚率增加了10.01%,产量增加8.37%。在盛花期不同程度的摘叶处理,落花率均高于对照,其中,轻度的摘叶处理(1/4)将成荚率提高了40.11%,对应的产量提高了5.23%。落蕾、落花和落荚中的丙二醛含量、多聚半乳糖醛酸酶活性、纤维素酶活性与新鲜的蕾、花和幼荚相比都升高,可溶性糖含量均降低。故在生殖生长时期,摘除适量叶片,可以促进落花率的降低和产量的提高,同时,植株脱落材料的生理指标也发生相应的变化。     

低温处理后4个越橘品种部分生理指标的比较及其抗寒性分析

以‘美登’(‘Blomidon ’)、‘北陆’(‘Northland ’)、‘蓝丰’(‘Bluecrop ’)和‘密斯梯’(‘Misty ’)4个越橘( Vaccinium spp.)品种为研究对象,对经-15℃、-20℃、-25℃、-30℃、-35℃和-40℃低温处理后各品种枝条的相对电导率( REC)、丙二醛( MDA)含量、过氧化物酶( POD)和过氧化氢酶( CAT)活性以及各指标的增长量进行比较;在此基础上,建立各品种REC值与温度的Logistic方程并获得各品种的低温半致死温度( LT50),初步确定各品种的抗寒性。结果表明：经不同低温处理后,各品种枝条的REC 值以及 POD 和 CAT 活性总体上极显著(P<0.01)高于对照(10℃),MDA含量极显著或显著(P<0.05)高于对照。随处理温度降低,各品种枝条的REC值和MDA含量逐渐升高,但不同品种间这2个指标的变幅不同;各品种枝条的POD和CAT活性随处理温度降低呈“单峰型”曲线,但不同品种枝条POD和CAT活性的峰值及其达到峰值的处理温度均存在差异,其中,经-25℃低温处理后品种‘密斯梯’枝条的POD和CAT活性最高,而其余3个品种的POD和CAT活性经-30℃低温处理后最高。总体上,品种‘密斯梯’枝条的REC值和MDA含量增长量处于较高水平,POD和CAT活性增长量处于较低水平;而品种‘美登’枝条的REC值和MDA含量增长量则处于较低水平,POD和CAT活性增长量处于较高水平。各品种的Logistic方程拟合度为0.8622~0.9778,且各品种间的拟合度差异均达到极显著或显著水平;REC值与温度的相关性极显著,其相关系数为0.9285~0.9888;品种‘密斯梯’、‘蓝丰’、‘北陆’和‘美登’的LT50值分别为-18.87℃、-26.85℃、-27.52℃和-30.83℃。综合分析结果显示：LT50值、MDA含量变化量、保护酶活性及其变化量均可作为越橘品种抗寒性的评价指标,据此初步确定供试4个越橘品种抗寒性由强至弱依次为‘美登’、‘北陆’、‘蓝丰’、‘密斯梯’。     

Characterization of a Non-abscission Mutant in Lupinus angustifolius L.: Physiological Aspects

A single-gene recessive mutant (Abs^-) of Lupinus angustifoliusL. ‘Danja’ that does not abscise any organs wascompared with its parent during continuous exposure of explantsfrom 14 d old seedlings to 10 µl l^-1ethylene. Both endo-(1,4)-ß- D -glucanase (cellulase) and polygalacturonase(PGA) activities increased significantly and progressively inpetiole-stem abscission zones of the parent before the onsetof abscission, and were reflected in a rapid decline in breakstrengthfrom 300 to 70 g within 32 h. In the mutant there was negligibleincrease in hydrolytic enzyme activity, breakstrength declinedslowly (to 180–200 g by 72 h) and there was no abscission.Isoelectric focusing showed two cellulase isoforms (pI 5.0 andpI 8.5) expressed in abscission zones of the parent; these wereexpressed at much lower levels in the mutant. These data areinterpreted to indicate that expression of at least two formsof cellulase activity is enhanced by ethylene in normal petioleabscission zones of lupin. PGA activity also increased in theabscission zone tissue of the parent but to a lesser extentin that of the mutant. We attribute the Abs^-phenotype to mutationof a gene regulating ethylene-responsive expression of abscission-specifichydrolytic enzymes.

Endo‐1,4‐β‐glucanase gene expression and cell wall hydrolase activities during abscission in Valencia orange

The physiological and molecular events of ethylene‐induced abscission in mature fruit calyx, laminar and floral abscission zones of cv. Valencia orange were examined. Continuous exposure of fruit explants to 5 µl 1⁻¹ ethylene for 2 to 40 h resulted in marked increases in endo‐1,4‐β‐glucanase (cellulase) and polygalacturonase (PG) activities in calyx abscission zones. Two abscission‐related cellulases and one PG were found. The major peak of cellulase activity corresponded to a pI of 8.0 and molecular weight of 51 kDa, whereas the minor cellulase peak had a pI of 5.5. The abscission polygalacturonase had a pI of 5.5. Calyx abscission zone RNA was amplified with degenerate primers based on sequence of the purified Valencia orange calyx abscission cellulase, and cloned. The two partial cellulase cDNA clones were 59% identical at the nucleotide level. Genomic Southern analysis suggested that Valencia orange contained two groups of cellulase genes. A full‐length cDNA clone from each group was isolated from a cDNA library prepared from ethylene‐induced calyx abscission zone mRNA. Both genes were expressed in ethylene‐induced calyx, laminar and floral abscission zones, but were not expressed in non‐induced abscission zones or mature leaves treated with or without ethylene, young bark or young fruit of Valencia.     

Abscission of Azolla branches induced by ethylene and sodium azide

Treatment with ethylene accelerated the abscission of branches of Azolla filiculoides plants. An Azolla plantlet treated with ethylene at 10 microl liter(-1) divided into 4-5 fragments after a lag period of 6-8 h. Ethylene-induced abscission was effectively inhibited by cycloheximide and was associated with an increase in the activities of cellulase and polygalacturonase. At the fracture surface abscised after treatment with ethylene, dissolution of the primary walls of the abscission zone cells was apparent. However, the middle lamella between abscission zone cells was still present. Immunoelectron microscopy using anti-unesterified pectin (JIM5) and anti-methylesterified pectin (JIM7) monoclonal antibodies revealed the presence of both JIM5 and JIM7 epitopes in the wall between abscission zone cells of branches before abscission occurred. In the middle lamella remaining after ethylene-induced abscission, only JIM7 epitopes were observed. The features of ethylene-induced abscission described herein were different from those of the rapid abscission induced by sodium azide, which implies that they are mediated by different mechanisms. The possible mechanisms are discussed.     

The Role of Cellulase and Polygalacturonase in Abscission of Young and Mature Shamouti Orange Fruits

During the first eight weeks after setting young citrus fruits gradually lose their ability to abscise at the abscission zone between the stem and the pedicel; in fruits older than eight weeks abscission occurs at the calyx area. The activity of cellulase and polygalacturonase in the two abscission zones was markedly increased before and during abscission, and was localized mainly in the abscission zone. Ethylene accelerated the increase in enzymic activity after an 8- to 10-h lag period; 2,4-D delayed abscission and enzymic activity when applied during the first 24 h after excision. During this period 2,4-D also partly suppressed the enhancing effect of ethylene. Early application of cyclo-heximide inhibited the formation of the enzymes and thus abscission was delayed to a certain extent. Although there are some indications that the relationship between enzymic activity and abscission is a complex one, the data presented indicate that cellulase and polygalacturonase play a significant role in abscission of citrus fruits at various developmental stages. Both enzymes act almost simultaneously and are equally controlled by ethylene and 2,4-D.     

外源乙烯利施用时期对花生源库形成的调控效应

为了解决源库关系不协调而限制花生产量提高的问题,在大田栽培条件下,以‘山花9号’花生为试验材料,设置花后10、20、30 d 3个喷施时期,以不喷施处理为对照,探讨不同时期喷施乙烯利对花生源库形成的调控效应。结果表明: 花后10和20 d喷施乙烯利可显著减少花生的开花数量、果针数、幼果数,提高秕果数和饱果数,而花后30 d喷施处理对开花数量、果针数和幼果数无抑制作用。喷施乙烯利可以增加花生单株叶面积,开花后10 d喷施处理的单株叶面积增幅最大,随着喷施时期的推迟增幅减小。花后10和20 d喷施乙烯利显著提高了花生叶片的光合速率,但花后30 d喷施处理只能在短期内提高光合速率,对生育后期的叶片光合速率无显著影响。从源库综合性状来看,花后20 d喷施乙烯利的源库关系最协调,有利于促进同化物向荚果的运输,提高有效果比例和荚果充实度,从而提高产量。因此,喷施乙烯利是解决花生“花多不实、果多不饱”源库失衡现象的有效措施,生产中使用乙烯利控花应选择在开花后20 d喷施。     

Abscission of Citrus Leaf Explants: INTERRELATIONSHIPS OF ABSCISIC ACID, ETHYLENE, AND HYDROLYTIC ENZYMES

The question whether abscisic acid (ABA) induces cellulase and polygalacturonase activity and, hence, abscission directly or whether its action is mediated by C₂H₄ was studied in citrus (Osbeck var. Shamouti) leaf explants using aminoethoxyvinyl glycine (AVG), an inhibitor of C₂H₄ biosynthesis. ABA in concentrations of 10 micromolar and higher induced C₂H₄ production and accelerated abscission. AVG inhibited C₂H₄ formation, activity of cellulase and polygalacturonase, and abscission in ABA-treated explants. AVG did not inhibit the increase in the activity of the cell-wall degrading enzymes or abscission in a saturating level of externally supplied C₂H₄. This indicates that the effect of AVG resulted from inhibition of the formation of endogenous ethylene. The data indicate that in citrus leaf explants the induction of the activity of cellulase and polygalacturonase and abscission by ABA is mediated by C₂H₄.     

Light and Shade Effects on Abscission and C-Photoassimilate Partitioning among Reproductive Structures in Soybean

Field experiments were conducted in 1981 and 1982 to study the effects of low-irradiance supplemental light on soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv Evans) flower and pod abscission. Cool-white and red fluorescent lights illuminated the lower part of the soybean canopy during daylight hours for 3 weeks late in flowering. At the same time, flowers and young pods on half the plants were shaded with aluminum foil. Flowers were tagged at anthesis and monitored through abscission or pod maturity.

Responses to red and white lights were similar. Supplemental light tended to reduce abscission and increase seed weight per node compared to natural light. Shading flowers and pods increased abscission and reduced seed weight per node. Number of flowers produced per node, individual seed weight, and seeds per pod were not affected by light or shade treatments.

Further studies examined the effects of shading reproductive structures on their capacity to accumulate ¹⁴C-photoassimilates. Individual leaves were pulse labeled with ¹⁴CO₂ 1, 2, and 4 weeks post anthesis. Flowers and pods in the axil of the labeled leaf were covered with aluminum foil 0, 24, 72, and 120 hours before pulsing.

Shading flowers and pods resulted in a 30% reduction in the relative amount of radiolabel accumulated from the source leaf. The reduction in ¹⁴C accumulation due to shading was evident regardless of the length of the shading period and was most pronounced when the shades were applied early in reproductive development. We conclude that light perceived by soybean flowers and young pods has a role in regulating both their abscission and their capacity to accumulate photoassimilates.

     

Pedicel abscission and rachis morphology of soybean as influenced by benzylaminopurine and the presence of pods

The cytokinin 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) increases pod set of soybean Glycine max (L.) Merr. This study was performed to determine the effect of site and method of BAP application on pedicel abscission and the accompanying changes in rachis anatomy. Spraying racemes with BAP in solution, or applying in a lanolin suspension to proximal nodes on a rachis where proximal pedicels had been excised, delayed pedicel abscission at distal nodes. Applying BAP in lanolin to distal pedicels following flower excision failed to delay their abscission. BAP caused rachis swelling only when pods were present, but BAP could delay pedicel abscission either in the presence or absence of pods. These results suggest that rachis swelling following BAP treatment does not have a causal relationship to a delay or decrease of pedicel abscission.Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station Journal No. 6-912843P.     

Optimal and Spatial Analysis of Hormones,Degrading Enzymes and Isozyme Profiles in Tomato Pedicel Explants During Ethylene-Induced Abscission

Activities of degrading enzymes, hormones concentration and zymogram patterns were investigated during control and ethylene-induced abscission of tomato pedicel explants. Exogenous ethylene accelerated abscission of pedicel explants. It was showed that IAA concentration in abscission zone tended to decline at first and then was reduced before separation in control and ethylene-treatment. Moreover, IAA (indole acetic acid) and ABA (abscise acid) concentrations were elevated in each segment when exposing to ethylene, but GA_{1 + 3} (gibberellin1 + gibberellin3) concentration was decreased in abscission zone and the proximal side. Activities of cellulase, polygalacturonase and pectinesterase in the explants were induced in the separating process and strengthened by ethylene. However, comparing with the proximal side, cellulase and polygalacturonase activities in abscission zone and distal side were higher. Electrophoresis of isozymes revealed that at least three peroxidase and three superoxidase isozymes appeared in the explants, respectively. One peroxidase isozyme exhibited differentially among the three positions in control and ethylene-treatment. One esterase isozyme weakened or disappeared in the following hours, but three novel esterase isozymes were detectable from beginning of the process. The data presented support the hypothesis that the distal side, together with abscission zone of explants plays a more important role in separation than does the proximal side. The possible roles of degrading enzymes, hormones and isozymes in three segments during ethylene-induced abscission of tomato pedicel explants are discussed.
