干旱区植物叶片大小对叶表面蒸腾及叶温的影响

利用热及物质交换原理, 并结合前人研究成果, 在单叶尺度上建立了简单的叶温和水气蒸腾模型。模型通过预设值驱动, 预设值参照干旱区环境及植物叶片特征设置。模拟结果显示: 随气孔阻力的增加, 叶片蒸腾速率降低, 叶温升高; 同一环境下, 具有低辐射吸收率的叶片蒸腾速率和叶温更低, 并且气孔阻力越大, 这种差异越明显。另外, 叶片宽度及风速是影响叶片蒸腾及叶温的重要因子。干旱地区植物生长季节, 风速小于0.1 m·s ^-1、气孔阻力接近1000 s·m ^-1时, 降低叶片宽度不仅有利于降低叶片温度, 而且能够降低叶片蒸腾速率, 从而实现保持水分, 增强植物适应高温、干旱的能力。

冬小麦对有限水分高效利用的生理机制

通过对不同土壤供水条件下的孕穗开花期的冬小麦叶片CO₂/H₂O气体交换参数的系统测定,研究了光合速率(Pn)、蒸腾速率(Tr)、气孔导度(Gs)、细胞间隙CO₂浓度(Ci)、叶温(Tl)与水分利用效率(WUE)间的关系。结果表明,WUE并不随Pn的增长直线增长,而是呈现出二次曲线的变化趋势;只有当蒸腾达到一定程度时,Tr才对WUE产生影响,而Tr过大时WUE则有下降的趋势;WUE与Ci呈负相关,随Ci的增加WUE呈递减趋势;叶温升高对光合和蒸腾都有促进作用,当超过了某种限度则表现为抑制作用,表明在一定温度范围内,Tl升高对水分利用不利;随Gs的增大,WUE增大到一定程度则不再增加,甚至出现一种回落趋势.

不同脱水速率对木奶果种子脱水敏感性及抗氧化酶活性的影响

研究了脱水速率对木奶果种子脱水敏感性和抗氧化酶活性的影响。木奶果种子初始含水量高达1.72gH2O·g^-1DW,萌发率为86.67%。含水量降至0.90gH2O·g^-1DW左右时,慢速脱水种子的萌发率为97.78%,而快速脱水的种子萌发率仅为64.44%。快速脱水至含水量为0.76gH2O·g^-1DW时萌发率为21.67%,而慢速脱水至0.68gH2O·g^-1DW时,萌发率仍高达55.56%。确定了木奶果种子是对慢速脱水耐受性更高的顽拗性种子。在种子脱水过程中,相对电解质渗透速率和脂质过氧化产物（TBARs）都呈升高趋势,但慢速脱水后的种子,其TBARs升高的速率较快速脱水的慢。快速脱水的种子中超氧化岐化酶（SOD）、脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶（DHAR）和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶（APX）的活性较慢速脱水的高,而过氧化氢酶（CAT）活性较慢速脱水的低,未检测出谷胱甘肽还原酶（GR）的活性。这些结果表明,在木奶果种子脱水耐性获得过程中过氧化氢酶比其他抗氧化酶作用更大。     

彰武松、樟子松光合生产与蒸腾耗水特性

本文采用Li-6400光合测定系统对性成熟(18a)阶段彰武松(Pinus densiflora var.zhangwuensis)和樟子松(Pinus sylvestris var.mongolica)光合及蒸腾指标不同季节日变化进行了测定,并采用切枝蒸腾法对两个树种叶片气孔蒸腾和角质层蒸腾进行对比测定,评价了气孔开闭敏感性,探讨了两个树种光合生产与蒸腾耗水特性。结果表明：在同样生境条件下,彰武松比樟子松有较大的光合速率(Pn)和较小的蒸腾速率(Tr)。在5月和7月,彰武松的Pn和Tr日变化呈现明显双峰型,其Pn和Tr“午休”现象均主要受气孔限制;在10月呈单峰型。樟子松的Pn和Tr日变化在整个生长季均呈单峰型,而且,彰武松日光合量(DAP)均高于樟子松,是樟子松的163.4%(5月)、211.1%(7月)和183.6%(10月)。光响应曲线参数表明：在不同月份,彰武松最大光合速率(Pmax)均大于樟子松,且光饱和点(LSP)较高,光补偿点(LCP)较低。在任意被测时刻,彰武松气孔导度(Gs)和Tr都小于樟子松。彰武松具有较小气孔和角质层蒸腾速度,并且在同样干旱条件下,彰武松气孔下陷,其气孔的开闭反应更加敏感。彰武松水分利用效率(WUE)较高,约是樟子松的2.29倍。这些结果暗示,彰武松以其高的光合速率和低的蒸腾耗水特性,提高水分利用效率,以其敏感的气孔开闭机制和旱生叶片结构进而实现在干旱半干旱地区的速生特性。     

Cadmium effects on leaf transpiration of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris)

Seedlings of sugar beet ( Beta vulgaris L. cv Monohill) were cultivated for 4 weeks in nutrient solution containing different concentrations of CdCl₂ (0 to 10 μ M ). The effects of Cd on appearance and function of stomata and leaf cuticle were investigated by water loss measurements and microscopy. The leaf transpiration rate increased with increasing Cd concentrations while the sum total of stomatal aperture area per unit leaf area decreased. Already at low Cd levels. an increase of defective and undeveloped stomata was found in Cd treated plants. These stomata are closed or have small apertures and probably lack a functional closing mechanism. The number of intact stomata per unit leaf area was lower in leaves of Cd treated plants than in controls, and Cd induced closure of intact stomata. The total number of stomata per leaf area slightly increases with increasing Cd concentration. as does the percentage of small stomata. Furthermore. specific leaf area increased, while the density of leaf structure was decreased by Cd. From this observation we conclude that the increase in transpiration rate caused by Cd is primarily due to effects on the permeability of the leaf cuticle to water.     

Some Differences in the Responses of Stomata of the Two Leaf Surfaces in Cotton

Some differences in the responses of the upper and lower stomatain cotton (Gossypium hirsutuni) are presented. These differenceswere observed in the course of some studies in which the transpirationof the two leaf surfaces was measured under controlled environmentconditions and the transpiration data used as an estimate ofstomatal response. In darkness the upper stomata were more or less effectivelyclosed while the lower stomata were partially open. Upon illuminationof the leaf with non-saturation or saturation radiation theupper stomata were slower to open than the lower stomata. Thereductions in stomatal aperture which occurs with the increasein age of leaves commenced earlier in the upper stomata andproceeded at a faster rate than the lower stomata. Sudden exposureto saturation radiation caused the stomata of the two leaf surfacesto oscillate. These oscillations were not observed in youngleaves but in older leaves. During ageing of leaves oscillationsof the upper stomata commenced earlier than oscillations ofthe lower stomata. When the petiole was excised in darknessor light the upper stomata showed a transient increase but notthe lower stomata. Gossypium hirsutum, stomatal responses, transpiration     

The role of epidermal turgor in stomatal interactions following a local perturbation in humidity

Humidity in a small area of a Vicia faba L. leaf was perturbed with a flow of dry air from an 80 µm (inside diameter) needle, while the remainder of the leaf was maintained at high and constant humidity. The influence of the needle flow on the humidity at the leaf surface was quantified by using a spatially explicit dewpoint hygrometer to observe condensation patterns. When the dry air from a needle was applied to the leaf, stomata within the influence of the needle opened within the first few minutes of the perturbation, and local epidermal turgor pressure declined within the same time frame. When the needle flow was removed from the leaf, these responses were reversed, but with more variable kinetics. Stomata and epidermal cells outside the influence of the needle flow, which were exposed to a constant and high humidity, showed similar, but smaller, responses when the needle flow was applied to the leaf. Since the opening of these stomata should have had only a small effect on transpiration (because of the high humidity), it is likely that the reduction in epidermal turgor was the cause (rather than the result) of the stomatal opening. The magnitude of the turgor response was only loosely related to the distance from the needle flow up to distances of almost 400 µm. The data support the idea that neighbouring stomata can interact through the influence of transpiration on epidermal turgor.     

Localization of mechanisms involved in hydropassive and hydroactive stomatal responses of Sambucus nigra to dry air

The response of stomata to a reduction of air humidity is composed of a hydropassive opening followed by active closure. Whereas the mechanisms behind the hydropassive opening are largely understood, the location and physiological basis of the sensing mechanisms leading to active closure are not yet known. This study attempts to evaluate the importance of a single pore's transpiration on its own response and that of adjacent pores. Selected stomata on attached intact leaves of Sambucus nigra were sealed with mineral oil and the response to a reduction of humidity was continuously observed in situ. Blocking a pore's transpiration had no appreciable effect on hydropassive opening and subsequent stomatal closure. If the adjacent stomata were additionally sealed, the closing response was reduced, but not the hydropassive opening. On the other hand, sealing the entire leaf surface, except a small area including the observed stomata, also reduced stomatal closure. These results indicate that strictly local processes triggered by a pore's own transpiration are not required to induce stomatal closure. To describe the effect of one pore's transpiration on the hydropassive and hydroactive responses of neighboring stomata, a simple spatial model was constructed. It suggests that 90% of the closing effect covers an area of approximately 0.5 mm2, whereas the effect on hydropassive opening affects an area of approximately 1 mm2. This divergence may suggest mechanisms other than or in addition to those involving changes of local leaf water potential.     

Experimental Studies of the Factors Controlling Transpiration: III. THE INTERRELATIONS BETWEEN TRANSPIRATION RATE, STOMATAL MOVEMENT, AND LEAF-WATER CONTENT

Transpiration rates of single leaves of Pelargonium and wheatwere measured under constant conditions of light, temperature,and air flow. Concurrently, stomatal movement was followed withthe resistance porometer during cycles of changing water contentof the leaf and changes induced by light and darkness. Stomatalmovement was found to exert a large controlling influence onthe transpiration rate, whereas water content had an extremelysmall or negligible effect. An approximately inverse linearrelation between transpiration rate and logarithm of resistanceto viscous flow through the leaf is believed to be the resultantof an inverse curvilinear relationship between the diffusiveconductance of the stomata and log. leaf resistance and thedecreasing difference of vapour pressure arising from the highertranspiration rates with increasing stomatal conductances. Nevertheless,the relation demonstrates that the transpiration rate is influencedby the degree of stomatal opening throughout its entire range. There was some evidence of lower transpiration rates duringand after recovery from wilting than before wilting. This isattributed to a decrease in a cell-wall conductance, the evaporatingsurface being located within the cell wall. During wilting partiallyirreversible contraction of the cell wall occurs. There wasalso evidence of slow changes in cell volume at full turgidityattributable to plastic flow. These occurred when the leaf wastransferred from environments of a high to low potential forevaporation. Extensive movement of the stomata followed changes in leaf water,passive opening resulting from decrease and closure from increaseof leaf water. It is suggested that the direction and extentof stomatal changes induced by water deficits is a consequenceof the rate of change of leaf water content and not of the absolutevalues. The stomata also showed an enhanced tendency to closein dry moving air following a period of wilting even after theleaf had regained turgidity.     

Photosynthesis, Transpiration, Leaf Temperature, and Stomatal Activity of Cotton Plants under Varying Water Potentials

Cotton plants, Gossypium hirsutum L. were grown in a growth room under incident radiation levels of 65, 35, and 17 Langleys per hour to determine the effects of vapor pressure deficits (VPD's) of 2, 9, and 17 mm Hg at high soil water potential, and the effects of decreasing soil water potential and reirrigation on transpiration, leaf temperature, stomatal activity, photosynthesis, and respiration at a VPD of 9 mm Hg.

Transpiration was positively correlated with radiation level, air VPD and soil water potential. Reirrigation following stress led to slow recovery, which may be related to root damage occurring during stress. Leaf water potential decreased with, but not as fast as, soil water potential.

Leaf temperature was usually positively correlated with light intensity and negatively correlated with transpiration, air VPD, and soil water. At high soil water, leaf temperatures ranged from a fraction of 1 to a few degrees above ambient, except at medium and low light and a VPD of 19 mm Hg when they were slightly below ambient, probably because of increased transpirational cooling. During low soil water leaf temperatures as high as 3.4° above ambient were recorded. Reirrigation reduced leaf temperature before appreciably increasing transpiration. The upper leaf surface tended to be warmer than the lower at the beginning of the day and when soil water was adequate; otherwise there was little difference or the lower surface was warmer. This pattern seemed to reflect transpiration cooling and leaf position effects.

Although stomata were more numerous in the lower than the upper epidermis, most of the time a greater percentage of the upper were open. With sufficient soil water present, stomata opened with light and closed with darkness. Fewer stomata opened under low than high light intensity and under even moderate, as compared with high soil water. It required several days following reirrigation for stomata to regain original activity levels.

Apparent photosynthesis of cotton leaves occasionally oscillated with variable amplitude and frequency. When soil water was adequate, photosynthesis was nearly proportional to light intensity, with some indication of higher rates at higher VPD's. As soil water decreased, photosynthesis first increased and then markedly decreased. Following reirrigation, photosynthesis rapidly recovered.

Respiration was slowed moderately by decreasing soil water but increased before watering. Respiration slowed with increasing leaf age only on leaves that were previously under high light intensity.

     

弱光下生长的葡萄叶片蒸腾速率和气孔结构的变化

 植物能够对生长环境产生生态适应性,这种适应性可从气孔导度、光合速率、水分利用效率等生态指标上反映出来。为了研究葡萄蒸腾特性对弱光环境的适应性变化,本试验以‘京玉’葡萄幼苗（Vitis vinefera cv. Jingyu）为试验材料,通过遮光处理（2个处理,分别遮光65%和85%）营造弱光环境,测定了在弱光环境下生长的葡萄叶片蒸腾速率、气孔导度、水分利用效率对光照强度的响应,同时用扫描电镜技术观察了气孔的发育。结果表明,弱光环境下生长的葡萄幼苗,叶片的水势较高,但水分利用效率较低,叶片蒸腾速率和气孔导度变化对光照强度的响应缓慢,而自然光下生长的葡萄叶片则反应较迅速。通过对气孔结构的研究发现,与自然光照环境下生长的植株相比,在弱光环境下生长的葡萄幼苗,叶片下表皮的气孔横轴变宽,大小气孔之间差异减少,气孔外突,表皮细胞变大甚至扭曲,角质层变薄。说明葡萄幼苗能够对弱光环境产生适应性变化,其蒸腾特性的变化与其气孔结构的变化相关,具有一致性。     

Stomatal crypts may facilitate diffusion of CO2 to adaxial mesophyll cells in thick sclerophylls

In some plants, stomata are exclusively located in epidermal depressions called crypts. It has been argued that crypts function to reduce transpiration; however, the occurrence of crypts in species from both arid and wet environments suggests that crypts may play another role. The genus Banksia was chosen to examine quantitative relationships between crypt morphology and leaf structural and physiological traits to gain insight into the functional significance of crypts. Crypt resistance to water vapour and CO₂ diffusion was calculated by treating crypts as an additional boundary layer partially covering one leaf surface. Gas exchange measurements of polypropylene meshes confirmed the validity of this approach. Stomatal resistance was calculated as leaf resistance minus calculated crypt resistance. Stomata contributed significantly more than crypts to leaf resistance. Crypt depth increased and accounted for an increasing proportion of leaf resistance in species with greater leaf thickness and leaf dry mass per area. All Banksia species examined with leaves thicker than 0.6 mm had their stomata in deep crypts. We propose that crypts function to facilitate CO₂ diffusion from the abaxial surface to adaxial palisade cells in thick leaves. This and other possible functions of stomatal crypts, including a role in water use, are discussed.     

Foliar uptake of Cd by pea (Pisum sativum) and sugar beet (Beta vulgaris)

Pea ( Pisum sativum L. cv. Fenomen) and sugar beet ( Beta vulgaris L. cv. Monohill) were cultivated in nutrient media without or with 10 μM CdCl₂. Leaves of the same size and stage of development, detached or still attached to the intact plants, were submerged into redistilled water containing 1 to 250 μM CdCl₂. The uptake experiments were run for 1 to 8 h at pH 3.6 and 5.1. Cuticular transpiration rate, density of leaf and density of stomata were also measured. Percentage of open stomata was studied at different pH.
Foliar uptake of Cd into the leaf is evident since Cd is transported from the exposed part of the pea leaves, through the petioles and into the stipules, and since the Cd concentration of the leaves increases with time and external Cd concentration. The foliar uptake depends on the permeability of the cuticular membrane, which is increased by a high intrinsic Cd level, which in turn enhances the foliar uptake of Cd in sugar beet. Higher cuticular permeability in pea than in sugar beet is shown by a 2.5 times higher cuticular transpiration rate and a 4 times lower density of leaf for pea, which causes a 7 times higher foliar uptake in pea than in sugar beet. Low pH decreases the net uptake of Cd, probably by an exchange reaction in the cutin and pectin of the cuticular membrane. Stomata are not directly involved in the Cd uptake, and the differences in the sum total of stomatal aperture area per unit leaf area is not related to differences in foliar uptake of Cd. Percentage of open stomata, calculated as average of both sides of the leaves, was not affected by changes in pH: but especially at high pH. proportionally more stomata were open on the adaxial than on the abaxial side.
