水分胁迫对茅苍术根茎生长及挥发油含量的影响

通过控制茅苍术[Atractylodes lancea（Thunb．）DC．]不同生长期的土壤含水量,研究了轻度和重度干旱胁迫与涝渍胁迫对茅苍术根茎生长及挥发油含量的影响。结果表明,在不同生长期,茅苍术根茎生长和挥发油成分含量对不同土壤水分条件的反应不同,其中生殖生长期对水分胁迫较敏感,干旱和涝渍胁迫均会导致根茎生长量和挥发油含量下降。水分胁迫对茅苍术根茎生长量和挥发油含量的影响效应是一致的,导致根茎生长量显著下降的水分条件可使挥发油含量下降,对根茎生长量影响不显著的水分条件则有利于挥发油成分的积累。在果后期进行适当的涝渍胁迫（土壤含水量35．5％～38．5％）有利于茅苍术根茎生长和挥发油含量的提高。     

淹涝胁迫对鹅掌楸属植物叶片部分生理指标的影响

研究了淹涝胁迫对不同种源鹅掌楸[Liriodendron chinense（Hemsl．）Sarg．]和杂种鹅掌楸（L．chinense xL．tulipifera）幼苗部分生理指标的影响。结果表明：在淹水处理24h后,杂种鹅掌楸幼苗叶片的净光合速率变化不明显,鹅掌楸幼苗叶片的净光合速率则有一定程度的下降;在淹水处理48h后,净光合速率均大幅度下降。在淹涝胁迫下及胁迫解除后,幼苗叶片叶绿素含量持续缓慢下降;而脯氨酸含量总体上呈现上升的趋势;与鹅掌楸相比,杂种鹅掌楸幼苗的超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）和过氧化物酶（POD）活性变化不明显,但SOD活性最高,POD活性最低。结果表明,杂种鹅掌楸具有较强的耐淹涝胁迫的能力。     

涝渍胁迫对入侵植物白花鬼针草及其本地近缘种金盏银盘生长和生理特性的影响

[目的]揭示涝渍胁迫下白花鬼针草与其本地近缘种金盏银盘的生长和生理特性差异。[方法]研究对照和涝渍胁迫下白花鬼针草和金盏银盘株高、新生不定根数目、净光合速率（P_n）、总生物量、相对生长速率、叶面积等生长和生理指标的变化。[结果]涝渍胁迫后入侵植物白花鬼针草比本地种金盏银盘保持了更高的株高、新生不定根数目和P_n（P<0.01）,更高的总生物量、相对生长速率、根生物量、茎生物量、叶生物量、叶面积（P<0.05）。涝渍胁迫10 d内,白花鬼针草根系活力和光系统II最大光量子产量显著高于金盏银盘（P<0.05）,涝渍胁迫20 d后2物种的2个参数趋于一致,这些结果表明涝渍对白花鬼针草生长的负面影响较小。涝渍胁迫前期更快的不定根生长速度和更高的根系脱氢酶活力可缓解涝渍对白花鬼针草的胁迫,减少了涝渍对光合系统的破坏,使其保持更高的P_n,从而有助于白花鬼针草保持更高的生长速率,是白花鬼针草耐受涝渍的生理机制。[结论]与本地近缘种金盏银盘相比,短期涝渍可使入侵植物白花鬼针草形成生长优势,华南地区雨季短期集中降水所形成的土壤涝渍有利于白花鬼针草的入侵。全球气候变化造成的降水不平衡性可能会加剧白花鬼针草在华南地区的入侵。

采用土培模拟涝害的方法,对5种菊花近缘种属植物的根系活力、叶绿素含量和光合生理特性以及涝渍胁迫后的形态表现进行研究和观察,比较了其耐涝能力.结果表明:涝渍胁迫下,5种菊花近缘种属植物根系活力急剧下降,但紫花野菊在胁迫初期表现出强的根系活力;5种植物叶绿素含量总体呈现先升后降的趋势;涝渍胁迫15d时纪伊潮菊、泡黄金菊的光合强度明显降低,CO2同化作用下降,并出现负值,叶片已丧失光合作用能力,其次是大岛野路菊和那贺川野菊,而紫花野菊维持了一定水平的净光合速率.结合叶片外观形态观察发现,紫花野菊最为耐涝,泡黄金菊最不耐涝,而大岛野路菊、纪伊潮菊和那贺川野菊的耐涝性介于两者之间.     

施氮对镉胁迫下山杨幼苗叶片氮磷钾吸收及镉积累量的影响

为探究山杨在重金属镉胁迫与增施外源氮复合处理条件下的生长及元素积累差异,该研究以山杨幼苗为材料,通过盆栽实验研究在重金属镉(Cd)胁迫下增施外源氮(N)对其形态、叶绿素、淀粉和可溶性糖含量、叶片中全氮(N)、全磷(P)、全钾(K)以及Cd含量的影响。结果表明：(1)单独Cd处理显著抑制山杨幼苗的叶片宽度和茎粗;施加外源N能够缓解Cd胁迫对植株的毒害,其叶长、叶宽和茎粗较单独Cd处理显著增加。(2)单独Cd处理后山杨叶片的叶绿素含量和淀粉含量均比对照显著下降,而其可溶性糖含量显著增加;与单独Cd处理相比,Cd+N复合处理后山杨的叶绿素含量显著增加,淀粉含量却显著下降,而可溶性糖含量略有降低。(3)与对照相比,单独Cd处理后,山杨叶片全N含量显著下降,全P含量显著增加;单独N和Cd+N复合处理后叶片全N含量均显著增加,全P含量均显著下降;全K含量在各处理下均无显著差异。(4)在Cd胁迫下山杨幼苗叶片的Cd含量比对照极显著增加,且Cd+N复合处理后叶片的Cd含量约是单独Cd处理的2倍。研究认为,增施氮素处理可显著提高山杨幼苗对镉胁迫环境的适应能力以及叶片对镉的富集能力。     

NaCl 胁迫对小麦抗盐突变体根液泡膜H+-ATP酶 和H+-PP酶活性的影响

随着盐胁迫强度（ ＮａＣｌ ０ ～１５０ｍ ｍｏｌ／Ｌ） 和时间（０ ～７２ ｈ） 的增加,小麦抗盐突变体根液泡膜Ｈ＋ＡＴＰ 酶和Ｈ＋ＰＰ 酶活性显著增加,虽然野生型酶活性在盐胁迫下也有增加,但其增加的幅度显著低于突变体,Ｈ＋ＰＰ酶活性的差异更为显著。Ｈ＋ＡＴＰ酶和Ｈ＋ＰＰ酶的最适ｐＨ 值在两者之间以及盐胁迫前后均无改变,分别为７ ．０ 和８ ．０ 。无盐胁迫下野生型液胞膜５８ ｋＤ 蛋白带缺失,盐胁迫下这一蛋白有微弱的表达。与此不同,突变体５８ ｋＤ 蛋白在盐胁迫前后均有明显的表达,但其２９ ｋＤ 蛋白带在无盐胁迫下明显减弱。

Drought tolerance in three hybrid poplar clones submitted to different watering regimes

Aims Poplars grown in North China may experience water-deficient periods in their life cycle. The aim of the present paper was to quantify the response of three clones to different watering regimes and to determine which clone among the three is the best adapted to drought conditions.Methods Three hybrid poplar clones (clone DN-34, R-247 and OP-367) were used in the present experiment. The seedlings of the three clones were grown under four watering regimes: control (well watered, 100% field water capacity (FC)) and three drought treatments (drought stress I, 50% FC; drought stress II, 40% FC; drought stress III, 30% FC). Changes in morphological, physical and biochemical indicators of the three hybrid poplar clones were investigated.Important findings Drought treatment (50%, 40% and 30% FC) decreased net photosynthetic rate (Pn), transpiration rate (Tr), stomatal conductance (gs), shoot height, total biomass and chlorophyll (Chl) content in all the three clones and it increased activities of antioxidant enzymes and free proline content. The highest values of the above-mentioned morphological and physiological parameters were recorded in clone OP-367 under 30% FC, followed by clone DN-34 and R-247. Relative leaf water content (RWC) and stem diameter (sd) markedly declined in clone R-247 and DN-34 under drought stress I, II and III, whereas RWC and sd declined in clone OP-367 only under drought stress II and III. Clone OP-367 had more RWC and sd than DN-34 and R-247. Only the 30% FC induced an increase in the root-to-shoot ratio (rs) and water use efficiency (WUE) in all the three clones. OP-367 was the most efficient clone in water absorption and use, for plants of the clone had the highest values of rs and WUE. Our data demonstrate that among the three clones, OP-367 was better able to maintain photosynthesis and growth and lower the damage caused by drought.     

Leaf Water Diffusion Resistance in Clonal Tea (Camellia sinensis L.): Effects of Water Stress, Leaf Age and Clones

Leaf diffusion resistance was influenced by leaf age in well-wateredand water-stressed clonal tea plants. In well-watered plantsand in two of the three clones studied, young leaves showeda significantly lower diffusion resistance than old leaves.In water-stressed plants young leaves always exhibited a higherdiffusion resistance than old leaves. The highest diffusionresistance, irrespective of leaf age and water stress, occurredin clone DN which is known to be the most drought tolerant ofthe three clones studied, suggesting that drought tolerancein clone DN is caused, at least in part, by a stomatal regulationmechanism. Water release characteristic curves for the threeclones indicated differences in the water content-water potentialrelationship between young and old leaves as well as betweenclones. The drought tolerant clones had a higher relative watercontent for a given water potential compared with the drought-susceptibleclone.

Stomatal factors and vulnerability of stem xylem to cavitation in poplars

The relationships between the vulnerability of stem xylem to cavitation, stomatal conductance, stomatal density, and leaf and stem water potential were examined in six hybrid poplar (P38P38, Walker, Okanese, Northwest, Assiniboine and Berlin) and balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera) clones. Stem xylem cavitation resistance was examined with the Cavitron technique in well-watered plants grown in the greenhouse. To investigate stomatal responses to drought, plants were subjected to drought stress by withholding watering for 5 (mild drought) and 7 (severe drought) days and to stress recovery by rewatering severely stressed plants for 30 min and 2 days. The clones varied in stomatal sensitivity to drought and vulnerability to stem xylem cavitation. P38P38 reduced stomatal conductance in response to mild stress while the balsam poplar clone maintained high leaf stomatal conductance under more severe drought stress conditions. Differences between the severely stressed clones were also observed in leaf water potentials with no or relatively small decreases in Assiniboine, P38P38, Okanese and Walker. Vulnerability to drought-induced stem xylem embolism revealed that balsam poplar and Northwest clones reached loss of conductivity at lower stem water potentials compared with the remaining clones. There was a strong link between stem xylem resistance to cavitation and stomatal responsiveness to drought stress in balsam poplar and P38P38. However, the differences in stomatal responsiveness to mild drought suggest that other drought-resistant strategies may also play a key role in some clones of poplars exposed to drought stress.     

Comparison of growth, biomass and nutrient distribution in five promising clones of Populus deltoides under an agrisilviculture system

Variations in growth, above- and below-ground biomass and nutrient distribution were examined in five clones (G3, G48, 65/27, D121 and S7C1) of Populus deltoides grown under agrisilviculture system in sub-humid tropics of Central India. The monoclonal blocks were planted at 4x5 m in a randomized block design with three replications. Diameter at breast height (dbh) and tree height were consistently higher in clone 65/27 and lowest in clone S7C1. Mean annual increments (MAI) in dbh and height were 1.6 and 1.3 times higher in clone 65/27 compared to clone S7C1. Total biomass varied from 48.5 to 62.2 Mg ha(-1) in six-year-old clones. In rank order, the total biomass of clones was: 65/27>D121>G48>G3>S7C1. Stem wood accounted 60.4-68.9% to total biomass followed by coarse roots (12.2-18.9%), branches (12.3-15%), leaves (3.02-6.9%) and fine roots (1.5-2.7%). Root-shoot ratio ranged from 0.2 to 0.35. It was highest in clone G48 and lowest in clone S7C1. In six-year-old clones, total N ranged from 184.3 to 266.3 kg ha(-1), P from 16.8 to 31.1 kg ha(-1) and K from 81.9 to 128.7 kg ha(-1). Total N and P were highest in clone 65/27, while K in clone G48. Nutrients were lowest in clone S7C1. In general, maximum nutrients (N, P and K) were allocated to above-ground components (leaves>stem>branches) than below-ground components. Available N, P and K in the soil improved significantly after six years of planting. It was higher in 0-20 cm and decreased with soil depth. At 0-20 cm soil depth, N increased from 14.9% to 24.1%, P from 17.2% to 23.3% and K from 3.1% to 5.1% under different clones. The yield of both soybean and wheat reduced under poplar clones. Yield losses in soybean ranged from 10.1% to 33% and wheat from 15% to 30.3% under different clones. The management strategies for reducing tree-crop competition and nutrient export from the site under P. deltoides based agrisilviculture system for achieving sustainable production are discussed.     

Expression of multiple resistance genes enhances tolerance to environmental stressors in transgenic poplar (Populus × euramericana 'Guariento')

Commercial and non-commercial plants face a variety of environmental stressors that often cannot be controlled. In this study, transgenic hybrid poplar (Populus × euramericana 'Guariento') harboring five effector genes (vgb, SacB, JERF36, BtCry3A and OC-I) were subjected to drought, salinity, waterlogging and insect stressors in greenhouse or laboratory conditions. Field trials were also conducted to investigate long-term effects of transgenic trees on insects and salt tolerance in the transformants. In greenhouse studies, two transgenic lines D5-20 and D5-21 showed improved growth, as evidenced by greater height and basal diameter increments and total biomass relative to the control plants after drought or salt stress treatments. The improved tolerance to drought and salt was primarily attributed to greater instantaneous water use efficiency (WUEi) in the transgenic trees. The chlorophyll concentrations tended to be higher in the transgenic lines under drought or saline conditions. Transformed trees in drought conditions accumulated more fructan and proline and had increased Fv/Fm ratios (maximum quantum yield of photosystem II) under waterlogging stress. Insect-feeding assays in the laboratory revealed a higher total mortality rate and lower exuviation index of leaf beetle [Plagiodera versicolora (Laicharting)] larvae fed with D5-21 leaves, suggesting enhanced insect resistance in the transgenic poplar. In field trials, the dominance of targeted insects on 2-year-old D5-21 transgenic trees was substantially lower than that of the controls, indicating enhanced resistance to Coleoptera. The average height and DBH (diameter at breast height) of 2.5-year-old transgenic trees growing in naturally saline soil were 3.80% and 4.12% greater than those of the control trees, but these increases were not significant. These results suggested that multiple stress-resistance properties in important crop tree species could be simultaneously improved, although additional research is needed to fully understand the relationships between the altered phenotypes and the function of each transgene in multigene transformants.     

Genetics of resistance to transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis poplars in Chrysomela tremulae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

The area under genetically engineered plants producing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins is steadily increasing. This increase has magnified the risk of alleles conferring resistance to these toxins being selected in natural populations of target insect pests. The speed at which this selection is likely to occur depends on the genetic characteristics of Bt resistance. We selected a strain of the beetle Chrysomela tremulae Fabricius on a transgenic Bt poplar clone Populus tremula L. x Populus tremuloides Michx producing high levels of B. thuringiensis Cry3Aa toxin. This strain was derived from an isofemale line that generated some F2 offspring that actively fed on this Bt poplar clone. The resistance ratio of the strain was >6400. Susceptibility had decreased to such an extent that the mortality of beetles of the strain fed Bt poplar leaves was similar to that of beetles fed nontransgenic poplar leaves. Genetic crosses between susceptible, resistant, and F1 hybrids showed that resistance to the Cry3Aa toxin was almost completely recessive (D(LC) = 0.07) and conferred by a single autosomal gene. The concentration of Cry3Aa produced in the transgenic Bt poplar used in this study was 6.34 times higher than the LC99 of the F1 hybrids, accounting for the complete recessivity (D(ML) = 0) of survival on Bt poplar leaves. Overall, the genetic characteristics of the resistance of C. tremulae to the Cry3Aa toxin are consistent with the assumptions underlying the high-dose refuge strategy, which aims to decrease the selection of Bt resistance alleles in natural target pest populations.     

Hydroponic screening of poplar for trace element tolerance and accumulation

Using the nutrient film technique, we screened 21 clones of poplar for growth in the presence of a mix of trace elements (TE) and for TE accumulation capacities. Poplar cuttings were exposed for four weeks to a multipollution solution consisting in 10 microM Cd, Cu, Ni, and Pb, and 200 microM Zn. Plant biomass and TE accumulation patterns in leaves varied greatly between clones. The highest Cd and Zn concentrations in leaves were detected in P. trichocarpa and P. trichocarpa hybrids, with the clone Skado (P. trichocarpa x P. maximowiczii) accumulating up to 108 mg Cd kg(-1) DW and 1510 mg Zn kg(-1) DW when exposed to a multipollution context. Our data also confirm the importance of pH and multipollution, as these factors greatly affect TE accumulation in above ground biomass. The NFT technique applied here to a large range of poplar clones also revealed the potential of the Rochester, AFO662 and AFO678 poplar clones for use in phytostabilization programs and bioenergy production, where production of less contaminated above ground biomass is suitable.     

Influence of poplar clones on fertility life-table parameters of Chaitophorus leucomelas (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

The aphid Chaitophorus leucomelas Koch (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is one of the most important pests of poplar (Populus spp.) plantations in Iran. In this study, development, reproduction, and life history of the aphid were assessed on 11 poplar clones; belong to three species, Populus nigra L., Populus deltoides Bartram ex Marshall, and Populus. euramericana Guinier. The experiments were carried out under controlled conditions at 24 +/- 1 degrees C, 50-60% RH, and a photoperiod of 12:12 (L:D) h. The developmental time at immature stage ranged from 10 to 12 d. Nymphs reproduced per female were ranged from 49 to 98 nymphs on Populus deltoides var. missoriensis and P. deltoides 72/51, respectively. The intrinsic rate of natural increase (r(m)) varied from 0.176 to 0.264 d(-1) among poplar clones. The r(m) values of the aphids were adversely affected in P. euramericana 242 in comparison with P. nigra 56/72 and P. nigra 63/135. In addition, the jackknife estimates of net reproductive rate (R0) indicated the presence of resistance among poplar clones. R0 ranged from 16.48 on P. nigra var. betulifoli to 47.53 on P. nigra 63/135. Mean generation times (T) was last 17.56 d on P. euramericana 242 to 14.51 d on P. deltoides 69/55. However, doubling time (DT) was 3.87 d on P. euramericana var. grandis to 2.63 d on P. nigra 63/135. The finite rate of increase (lambda) was 1.192 on resistant clone (P. euramericana 242) and 1.302 on susceptible clone (P. nigra 63/135). These results indicate that variation in life-table parameters could be an important component of variation in resistance to C. leucomelas in poplar.
