塔克拉玛干沙漠南缘防护林和自然群落中多枝柽柳的光合特征及水分利用效率

干旱区植物的生长和生存主要受水分限制,采用滴灌方式对防护林植物进行水分补给是维持人工生态屏障稳定性的重要手段.本研究通过测定塔克拉玛干沙漠南缘防护林和自然群落多枝柽柳的气体交换参数和稳定性碳同位素值,研究不同水分来源多枝柽柳的光合特征和水分利用效率.结果表明: 滴灌群落多枝柽柳受灌溉和土壤盐分的影响水势普遍较低;自然群落多枝柽柳清晨和正午水势较其他植物低,表明其遭受到严重的水分胁迫;滴灌群落多枝柽柳叶片净光合速率(P_n)、气孔导度(g_s)、胞间CO₂浓度(C_i)和最大光合速率(P_{n max})均明显低于自然群落多枝柽柳,表明滴灌群落多枝柽柳光合能力弱于自然群落多枝柽柳;灌溉造成的盐分胁迫导致滴灌群落多枝柽柳比自然群落拥有较高的长期水分利用效率.总之,现行的灌溉模式虽能提供防护林植物生长所需水分,但技术的缺陷和土壤盐分的积累可能会影响防护林体系的长期稳定性.     

豆科复叶和单叶树种的光合-水分关系分析

以豆科（Fabaceae）11个复叶树种和6个单叶树种为材料,测定他们的气孔导度、叶片水力导度、水势、相对含水量等指标,分析叶型对枝叶光合水分关系的影响。结果显示,复叶树种正午叶轴水势（-0.91 MPa）与单叶树种正午枝条水势（-0.88 MPa）间无显著差异,但正午枝条水势（-0.60 MPa）显著高于单叶树种。复叶树种正午气孔导度降低的百分比（55.3%）显著高于单叶树种（34.1%）。叶片、叶轴和枝条正午水势两两之间均显著正相关,但与正午气孔导度之间均不存在相关性。本研究中,17个树种的正午叶片水力导度与气孔导度间显著正相关（r=0.79,P<0.001）,但他们与气孔导度降低百分比间呈负相关（r=-0.81,P<0.001）,说明叶片导水率对日间气孔导度的维持具有重要作用。研究结果表明单叶和复叶树种在光合水分关系上存在明显差异,说明他们对环境条件具有不同的适应策略。     

摘叶造成的碳限制对刺槐碳素分配和水力学特性的影响

以3年生刺槐（Robinia pseudoacacia Linn.）为研究对象,通过对其进行连续3次摘叶造成严重碳限制,检测摘叶后刺槐的生物量分配、叶片形态和不同部位的非结构性碳（NSC）浓度,同时检测其根压和根系导水率、枝条水势和导水率损失值（PLC）及茎的抗栓塞能力,研究摘叶造成的碳限制对刺槐碳素分配和水力学特性的影响。结果显示,摘叶显著降低了刺槐不同部位的生物量,其中细根生物量降低程度最大;摘叶还造成了刺槐不同部位NSC浓度显著降低,茎韧皮部、茎木质部、根韧皮部和根木质部的NSC浓度分别为对照的29.6%、20.2%、10.2%和8.7%,且根部NSC的降低程度显著高于茎;碳限制显著降低了刺槐苗木的根压和根系导水率,增加了枝条凌晨和正午的PLC,降低了其抗栓塞能力。研究结果表明摘叶造成的碳限制改变了刺槐的碳素分配模式,限制了碳素向根的分配,抑制细根的发生,进而限制根的水分吸收能力,加重枝条栓塞程度,同时还会导致枝条抗栓塞能力下降,从而降低植物水分输导的安全性。     

干旱胁迫下新疆杨树冠不同高度叶片水分状况与非结构性碳动态北大核心CSCD

水力结构调整及非结构性碳动态对于认知干旱胁迫下植物生存前景和死亡风险至关重要。该研究以新疆杨(Populus bolleana Lauche.)为对象,通过干旱处理分析树冠不同高度叶片水力性状、光合生理特性、不同功能器官间的可溶性糖、淀粉及非结构性碳水化合物(NSC)含量变化,以甄别树冠不同高度叶片对干旱胁迫的生理响应和适应差异。结果表明:(1)在干旱胁迫下,树冠上部的叶水势、叶含水量、枝条含水量普遍低于下部,饱和膨压渗透势及膨压损失点水势在不同树冠高度间差异不显著;(2)干旱处理组植株净光合速率随树冠高度的增加而降低,叶绿素SPAD值在树冠的上部显著低于下部,而水分利用效率在树冠的上部却高于下部;(3)干旱处理组比叶面积在各树冠高度下显著低于对照组,而胡伯尔值在中部及上部高于对照组但差异不显著;(4)干旱处理组,树冠上部叶片淀粉含量显著高于下部,枝条可溶性糖及NSC含量在树冠上部显著高于下部,韧皮部的可溶性糖、淀粉及NSC含量在不同树冠高度间无显著差异,细根的可溶性糖、淀粉及NSC含量在对照组与干旱处理组间的差异不显著。研究发现,干旱处理下,树冠高度的增加会加剧新疆杨枝叶的干旱胁迫,致使树冠上部枝条木质部发生栓塞的风险大于下部,并导致NSC在不同器官间的分配和组分产生差异,但新疆杨植株可通过水分利用效率和形态上的适应性调整减缓干旱胁迫。     

豆科复叶和单叶树种的光合-水分关系分析

以豆科(Fabaceae) 11个复叶树种和6个单叶树种为材料,测定他们的气孔导度、叶片水力导度、水势、相对含水量等指标,分析叶型对枝叶光合水分关系的影响。结果显示,复叶树种正午叶轴水势(-0. 91 MPa)与单叶树种正午枝条水势(-0.88 MPa)间无显著差异,但正午枝条水势(-0.60 MPa)显著高于单叶树种。复叶树种正午气孔导度降低的百分比(55.3%)显著高于单叶树种(34.1%)。叶片、叶轴和枝条正午水势两两之间均显著正相关,但与正午气孔导度之间均不存在相关性。本研究中,17个树种的正午叶片水力导度与气孔导度间显著正相关(r=0.79,P 0.001),但他们与气孔导度降低百分比间呈负相关(r=-0.81,P 0. 001),说明叶片导水率对日间气孔导度的维持具有重要作用。研究结果表明单叶和复叶树种在光合水分关系上存在明显差异,说明他们对环境条件具有不同的适应策略。     

盐碱胁迫对枸杞幼苗生物量积累和光合作用的影响

以内陆高寒区盐碱地重要的经济树种枸杞2年生幼苗为研究对象,采用盆栽控制试验方法,设置50、100、200、300mmol·L~(-1)共4个盐和碱(NaCl和NaHCO3)胁迫浓度,研究盐、碱胁迫对枸杞苗木生长和光合的影响,以明确枸杞幼苗生长的耐盐、碱浓度范围,探讨土壤盐碱含量与土壤水分含量的关系,为不同类型盐碱条件下枸杞的种植和水分管理提供理论依据。结果表明:(1)随着盐碱胁迫浓度的增大,枸杞幼苗根茎叶生物量及叶绿素含量(SPAD)、净光合速率(Pn)、蒸腾速率(Tr)、气孔导度(Gs)和胞间二氧化碳浓度(Ci)等光合作用参数逐渐受到显著抑制,且碱胁迫的抑制作用更强烈;但低浓度(50mmol/L)NaCl胁迫下,枸杞幼苗叶绿素含量和净光合速率并未受到显著影响。(2)在盐碱胁迫条件下,枸杞幼苗的最大净光合速率(Pnmax)、暗呼吸速率(RD)、初始量子效率(AQY)、光饱和点(LSP)均低于对照,而光补偿点(LCP)高于对照,且随着胁迫浓度的增加,碱胁迫处理下的变幅大于盐胁迫。(3)随着胁迫浓度的增大,影响净光合速率的因素由气孔限制转向非气孔限制的临界值,在盐胁迫下的临界浓度约为200mmol/L,在碱胁迫下的临界浓度约为100mmol/L。(4)按照指标值超过对照组50%标准,经回归分析确定,枸杞耐盐和耐碱阈值分别为(246.3±2.1)mmol/L和(126.7±2.7)mmol/L;在此阈值的基础上,得到土壤含水量与土壤含盐量回归曲线方程。研究认为,枸杞幼苗具有一定的耐盐能力,但过高浓度的盐碱胁迫会损坏其光合结构,降低光环境适应能力和光合作用效率,从而影响其正常生长。     

岳桦幼苗光合特性和非结构性碳水化合物积累对干旱胁迫的响应

以长白山林线树种岳桦为对象,利用生长控制试验进行干旱处理,研究干旱对岳桦幼苗光合特性及非结构性碳水化合物(NSC)积累的影响。结果表明:干旱显著降低了岳桦幼苗的净光合速率和气孔导度,提高了其水分利用效率;干旱显著增加了岳桦幼苗叶、皮、干和根中的可溶性糖和总NSC的含量,但显著降低了淀粉含量;随着干旱的持续,叶片的气孔导度、光合速率和瞬时水分利用效率迅速降低,而可溶性糖、淀粉和NSC则是先增后减;在试验末期,叶片90%发黄,岳桦幼苗干、皮和根中可溶性糖与淀粉含量的比值均显著高于对照。这表明岳桦在受到干旱胁迫时,迅速降低气孔导度以减少水分散失,提高水分利用效率,它属于避旱型植物;岳桦通过优先储存策略来提高组织器官中可溶性糖含量、增加淀粉与糖之间的转化率来应对水分亏缺的不利环境;在遭受持续干旱,幼苗面临死亡的时候,干旱胁迫可能超过了植物自我调节的阈值,但此时其组织器官中NSC含量并未降低,这说明岳桦最终的死亡可能不是碳饥饿导致的。     

豆科复叶和单叶树种的光合-水分关系分析北大核心CSCD

以豆科(Fabaceae)11个复叶树种和6个单叶树种为材料,测定他们的气孔导度、叶片水力导度、水势、相对含水量等指标,分析叶型对枝叶光合水分关系的影响。结果显示,复叶树种正午叶轴水势(-0.91MPa)与单叶树种正午枝条水势(-0.88MPa)间无显著差异,但正午枝条水势(-0.60MPa)显著高于单叶树种。复叶树种正午气孔导度降低的百分比(55.3%)显著高于单叶树种(34.1%)。叶片、叶轴和枝条正午水势两两之间均显著正相关,但与正午气孔导度之间均不存在相关性。本研究中,17个树种的正午叶片水力导度与气孔导度间显著正相关(r=0.79,P<0.001),但他们与气孔导度降低百分比间呈负相关(r=-0.81,P<0.001),说明叶片导水率对日间气孔导度的维持具有重要作用。研究结果表明单叶和复叶树种在光合水分关系上存在明显差异,说明他们对环境条件具有不同的适应策略。     

基于氘示踪剂和热扩散技术的栓皮栎水分运输速率与效率研究

利用同位素示踪和热扩散技术研究了不同胁迫处理栓皮栎的水分运输和储存差异。结果表明,注射氘同位素后,充分灌溉、轻度和重度胁迫处理的最大氘同位素比率分别升高到586.67‰、997.33‰和1364.89‰,处理间差异显著。轻度和重度胁迫处理的示踪速率分别为0.10 m/h和0.07 m/h,显著低于充分灌溉处理,但半减期和残留期显著高于充分灌溉。轻度和重度胁迫处理的枝条栓塞程度(PLC)比充分灌溉显著增加,液流通量、水势和蒸腾速率则显著减小。统计分析表明蒸腾作用强弱决定树体水分运输速率,PLC的增加和枝条水势的降低阻碍木质部水分运输。半减期和残留期内,轻度和重度胁迫处理的累积液流量显著高于充分灌水处理,运载相同体积的示踪剂,胁迫处理栓皮栎需要的水量增加,表明胁迫环境下受到PLC、蒸腾以及与树体储水交换的影响,水分运输效率下降。栓皮栎通过栓塞和储水交换来降低水分运输速率和效率,调控水分的收支平衡来适应干旱的环境。     

干旱胁迫对夏蜡梅光合特性的影响

以2年生夏蜡梅(Sinocalycanthus chinensis)苗木为材料,通过盆栽试验,研究土壤干旱胁迫对夏蜡梅叶片光合特性的影响,结果显示:随着干旱胁迫程度的加重,夏蜡梅叶片净光合速率、蒸腾速率、气孔导度显著降低;胞间CO2浓度在轻度和中度胁迫下显著低于对照,但在重度胁迫下显著高于对照;水分利用效率在胁迫下提高,且以中度胁迫为最大.温度升高使叶片净光合速率和水分利用效率降低、蒸腾速率升高,加重了干旱对光合作用的不利影响.对照及轻度和中度干旱胁迫处理的净光合速率、气孔导度和水分利用效率日变化曲线均为双峰型,但重度胁迫下净光合速率和气孔导度日变化转变为峰值很小的单峰型;各处理的蒸腾速率日变化曲线为单峰型并以午间最高.表明夏蜡梅光合作用对干旱胁迫有一定的适应能力,但重度胁迫对其造成严重影响.     

Effects of dew on eco-physiological traits and leaf structures of Leymus chinensis and Agropyron cristatum grown under drought stress北大核心CSCD

Aims: To investigate the effects of dew on plants, we conducted the experiment to determine the physiological characteristics and leaf structures of Leymus chinensis and Agropyron cristatum in response to increasing dew under drought stress. Methods: Four treatments (no dew, three times dew and five times dew per week under drought stress, and well-watering) were designed to examine leaf relative water content, water potential, net photosynthetic rate, water use efficiency, biomass, and leaf structures of L. chinensis and A. cristatum. Important findings: There was a significant increase in the relative water content and water potential by simulated dew increase for two plants species under drought stress (p < 0.05). For A. cristatum, simulated dew increase significantly enhanced the net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate of plants under drought stress (p < 0.05). On the other hand, there was no significant difference in the stomatal conductance and transpiration rate for L. chinensis among treatments. Simulated dew increase improved the aboveground biomass and root biomass of two species. The ratio of yellow leaves to the total leaves was decreased by simulated dew increase for two species. Dew increase also protected leaf structures against the drought stress, suggesting that the dew increase can slow down the death process of leaves resulted from drought stress. Therefore, the study demonstrated that dew increased the available water for the leaves of L. chinensis and A. cristatum grown in the drought stress and thus had positive effects on the photosynthesis, water physiology and plant development.     

模拟大气硫酸铵污染对香樟幼苗生长及光合特性的影响

通过室内盆栽实验研究了大气颗粒污染物硫酸铵对香樟幼苗生长及光合特性的影响。结果表明,香樟幼苗叶片涂抹硫酸铵处理对植物生长无显著影响;低浓度硫酸铵(2 g·L^-1)提高了叶片叶绿素含量,而高浓度(4 g·L^-1)却降低了叶片叶绿素含量;与对照相比,低浓度处理的香樟叶片净光合速率、气孔导度、胞间二氧化碳浓度与蒸腾速率无显著差异;高浓度处理的香樟叶片净光合速率与蒸腾速率高于对照,而气孔导度与胞间二氧化碳浓度与对照无显著差异。机理分析表明,硫酸铵颗粒物主要通过影响叶片气孔导度来影响植物光合特性。     

淹水胁迫对不结球白菜幼苗光合特性的影响

以不结球白菜(Brassica campestris ssp.chinensis Makino)‘新矮青’为材料,研究了不同淹水处理(根淹、半淹)对其幼苗叶片光合参数、叶绿素含量、荧光参数的影响。结果显示:淹水5 d时,根淹和半淹处理使不结球白菜的净光合速率(P n)、气孔导度(G s)、蒸腾速率(T r)、最大光化学效率(F v/F m)显著下降,分别为对照的43.1%和22.1%(根淹和半淹,下同)、26.4%和14.3%、40.2%和33.2%、87.9%和77.1%;淹水处理使不结球白菜的叶绿素含量、PSⅡ有效光化学量子产量(Yield)、电子传递速率(ETR)也显著下降;根淹和半淹处理使不结球白菜的水分利用效率(WUE)、光化学猝灭系数(q P)呈下降趋势,而胞间CO2浓度(Ci)、非光化学猝灭系数(q N)显著上升,分别为对照的105.3%和115.6%、120.6%和147.4%。这表明淹水胁迫能显著影响不结球白菜的相关光合指标,且随着淹水时间的延长和淹水深度的增加,不结球白菜受到的胁迫损伤不断加重。     

Effects of drought stress on photosynthetic gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence and stem diameter of soybean plants

Changes in plant growth, photosynthetic gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence and stem diameter of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] plants under drought stress were studied. Total plant dry mass was reduced by 30 % compared to well-watered control plants. Leaf water potential was slightly decreased by water stress. Water stress induced daytime shrinkage and reduced night-time expansion of stem. Photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate were significantly declined by water stress, while the intercellular CO₂ concentration was changed only slightly at the initiation of stress treatment. The maximum photochemical efficiency of photosystem 2 and apparent photosynthetic electron transport rate were not changed by water stress.     

Changes in photosynthetic and growth characteristics of Leymus chinensis community along the retrogression on the Songnen grassland in northeastern China

Net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, ratio of sub-stomatal to atmospheric CO₂ concentration, transpiration rate, and water use efficiency changed significantly and assimilation capacity dropped continuously along the salinization and alkalinization process in the afternoon. Assimilation capacity of L. chinensis leaf correlated negatively with the degree of salinization and alkalinization. The photosynthetic characteristics of L. chinensis determined its community formation. By changing the ratio of chlorophyll a/b in leaves and accumulating soluble saccharides in rhizome, L. chinensis could adapt to the saline-alkali condition.     

Effects of temperature on leaf hydraulic architecture of tobacco plants

Main Conclusion

Modifications in leaf anatomy of tobacco plants induced greater leaf water transport capacity, meeting greater transpirational demands and acclimating to warmer temperatures with a higher vapor pressure deficit. Temperature is one of the most important environmental factors affecting photosynthesis and growth of plants. However, it is not clear how it may alter leaf hydraulic architecture. We grew plants of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) ‘k326’ in separate glasshouse rooms set to different day/night temperature conditions: low (LT 24/18 °C), medium (MT 28/22 °C), or high (HT 32/26 °C). After 40 days of such treatment, their leaf anatomies, leaf hydraulics, photosynthetic rates, and instantaneous water-use efficiency (WUE_i) were measured. Compared with those under LT, plants exposed to HT or MT conditions had significantly higher values for minor vein density (MVD), stomatal density (SD), leaf area, leaf hydraulic conductance (K _leaf), and light-saturated photosynthetic rate (A _sat), but lower values for leaf water potential (ψ _l) and WUE_i. However, those parameters did not differ significantly between HT and MT conditions. Correlation analyses demonstrated that SD and K _leaf increased in parallel with MVD. Moreover, greater SD and K _leaf were partially associated with accelerated stomatal conductance. And then stomatal conductance was positively correlated with A _sat. Therefore, under well-watered, fertilized conditions, when relative humidity was optimal, changes in leaf anatomy seemed to facilitate the hydraulic acclimation to higher temperatures, meeting greater transpirational demands and contributing to the maintenance of great photosynthetic rates. Because transpiration rate increased more with temperature than photosynthetic rate, WUE_i reduced under warmer temperatures. Our results indicate that the modifications of leaf hydraulic architecture are important anatomical and physiological strategies for tobacco plants acclimating to warmer temperatures under a higher vapor pressure deficit.     

Hydraulic conductance and rootstock effects in grafted vines of kiwifruit

Whole-plant hydraulic conductance, shoot growth, and leaf photosynthetic properties were measured on kiwifruit vines with four clonal rootstocks to examine the relationship between plant hydraulic conductance and leaf stomatal conductance (gs) and to test the hypothesis that reduced hydraulic conductance can provide an explanation for reductions in plant vigour caused by rootstocks. The rootstocks were selected from four species of Actinidia and grafted with Actinidia chinensis var. chinensis 'Hort16A' (yellow kiwifruit) as the scion. Total leaf area of the scion on the least vigorous Actinidia rootstock, A. kolomikta, was 25% of the most vigorous, A. hemsleyana. Based on shoot growth and leaf area, the selections of A. kolomikta and A. polygama are low-vigour rootstocks, and A. macrosperma and A. hemsleyana are high-vigour rootstocks for A. chinensis. Whole-plant hydraulic conductance, the ratio of xylem sap flux to xylem water potential, was lower in the low-vigour rootstocks, reflecting their smaller size. However, leaf-area-specific conductance (Kl) and gs were both higher in the low-vigour rootstocks, the opposite of the expected pattern. Differences in Kl were found in the compartment from the roots to the scion stem, with no difference between rootstocks in the conductance of stems or leaves of the scion. There was no evidence that the graft union caused a significant reduction in hydraulic conductance of vines with low-vigour rootstocks. Leaf photosynthetic capacity did not vary between rootstocks, but photosynthesis and carbon isotope discrimination (Delta13C) under ambient conditions were higher in the low-vigour rootstocks because gs was higher. gs and Delta13C were positively correlated with Kl, although the mechanism for this relationship was not based on stomatal regulation of a similar xylem water potential because water potential varied between rootstocks. For Actinidia rootstocks, changes in Kl do not provide a direct explanation for changes in vigour of the scion. However, depending on the rootstock in question, changes in hydraulic conductance, biomass partitioning, and crown structure are involved in the response.     

羊草叶片气体交换参数对温度和土壤水分的响应

 采用生长箱控制的方法研究了羊草(Leymus chinensis)幼苗叶片光合参数对5个温度和5个水分梯度的响应和适应。结果表明：轻度、中度土壤干旱并没有限制羊草叶片的生长,对气体交换参数亦无显著影响,反映了羊草幼苗对土壤水分胁迫的较高耐性。叶片生物量以26 ℃时最大,其它依次为23 ℃、20 ℃、29 ℃和32 ℃。温度升高使气孔导度和蒸腾速率增加, 却使光合速率和水分利用效率降低。水分和温度对叶片生物量、光合速率、气孔导度和蒸腾速率存在显著的交互作用,表明高温加强了干旱对叶片生长和气体交换的影响, 降低了羊草对土壤干旱的适应能力。高温和干旱的交互作用将显著减少我国半干旱地区草原的羊草生产力。     

Hydraulic and photosynthetic limitations prevail over root non-structural carbohydrate reserves as drivers of resprouting in two Mediterranean oaks

Resprouting is an ancestral trait in angiosperms that confers resilience after perturbations. As climate change increases stress, resprouting vigor is declining in many forest regions, but the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. Resprouting in woody plants is thought to be primarily limited by the availability of non-structural carbohydrate reserves (NSC), but hydraulic limitations could also be important. We conducted a multifactorial experiment with two levels of light (ambient, 2–3% of ambient) and three levels of water stress (0, 50 and 80 percent losses of hydraulic conductivity, PLC) on two Mediterranean oaks (Quercus ilex and Q. faginea) under a rain-out shelter (n = 360). The proportion of resprouting individuals after canopy clipping declined markedly as PLC increased for both species. NSC concentrations affected the response of Q. ilex, the species with higher leaf construction costs, and its effect depended on the PLC. The growth of resprouting individuals was largely dependent on photosynthetic rates for both species, while stored NSC availability and hydraulic limitations played minor and non-significant roles, respectively. Contrary to conventional wisdom, our results indicate that resprouting in oaks may be primarily driven by complex interactions between hydraulics and carbon sources, whereas stored NSC play a significant but secondary role.
