铺地木蓝对不同水质淹水胁迫的生理响应

试验以铺地木蓝(Indigofera spicata Forsk.)为研究对象, 研究了在自来水和珠江水不同淹水深度和淹水时间处理下, 铺地木蓝的存活率、叶绿素含量、叶绿素 a/b、根系活力以及根冠比等指标的变化情况。结果表明 : (1)经过 21 d 淹水胁迫, 铺地木蓝植株的存活率为 100%, 虽然其叶绿素含量和叶绿素 a/b 比值显著下降, 但均能够长时间保持在一个比较稳定的水平; (2)随着淹水时间的延长, 铺地木蓝的根系出现腐烂现象, 根系活力显著下降; (3)淹水后铺地木蓝的根系和茎叶生物量大幅下降, 根冠比增加 ; (4)珠江水全淹处理下植株的叶绿素含量、叶绿素 a/b 比值和根系活力均较自来水全淹处理低而根冠比则较高, 但并不影响其存活率。     

水淹胁迫对小蓬草(Conyza canadensis)的形态结构与生理生化特性的影响

为研究水淹胁迫对三峡库区消落带重要物种小蓬草(Conyza canadensis)的生理生化特性及解剖结构的影响, 以消落带区小蓬草为试验材料, 设置全淹组(SG)和半淹组(SsG)处理, 测定与小蓬草在淹水过程中随着时间增长的生理指标与根系解剖变化。结果表明: 水淹30 d, 淹水组小蓬草相对叶面积和平均茎高与对照相比都显著降低, 而根系主根长和侧根数量都显著高于对照组。SsG丙二醛(MDA)、脯氨酸、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性及根系活力都升高, 与对照组达到了显著差异, SG组的以上指标及可溶性还原糖都与对照组达到了显著差异, 并且叶绿素、MDA和根系活力与SsG之间也达到了显著差异, 解剖结构中, 两种淹水处理的根系周皮细胞的气腔面积增加, 木质部出现溶生型气腔; 水淹50 d, SsG叶片边缘坏死, 心部小叶存活, SG地上部分基本腐烂, 两种淹水处理根系韧皮部出现坏死, 木质部残存, 解剖结构表明此时根系外围组织瓦解, 生理指标测定表明, 与对照相比, SsG的叶绿素极显著降低, 可溶性糖、MDA、脯氨酸及SOD都显著增加, SsG和SG根系活力较对照都显著降低。小蓬草在淹水过程中根系的存活时间超过叶片, 根系在通气组织结构上启动响应机制, 表明小蓬草在水淹胁迫中主要通过减少地上部分的生长量, 增加地下根系的生长与结构的调节来适应水淹具有短期耐淹能力, 这为库区消落带入侵物种的适应性及生态植被恢复提供参考数据。     

淹水深度对互叶白千层幼苗气体交换、叶绿素荧光和生长的影响

实验设置对照、浅淹(水位高出土壤表面5cm)和深淹(水位高出土壤表面20cm)3种处理,研究了淹水深度对互叶白千层幼苗的气体交换、叶绿素荧光和生长状况的影响。研究结果表明,随着淹水深度的增加,互叶白千层受到的胁迫程度有所增强。经过270d的淹水处理,浅淹组和深淹组的株高和生物量有所下降,分别为对照的90.86%、64.58%和74.52%、36.46%。浅淹组植株叶绿素含量、净光合速率、气孔传导率和蒸腾速率略有下降,分别为对照的95.39%、94.26%、90.02%和88.94%。深淹组植株在淹水后180d内上述参数显著下降,分别为对照的79.44%、73.54%、61.79%和71.46%,随后逐渐接近对照组。浅淹组PSⅡ的最大光化学量子效率(Fv/Fm)比较稳定,与对照组基本相同。深淹组在淹水后150d内Fv/Fm稍有下降,随后恢复到对照水平。浅淹组植株光化学淬灭系数(qP)稍有下降,非光化学淬灭(NPQ)略有上升,分别为对照的96.63%和105.66%。深淹组植株在淹水后120d内qP显著下降,NPQ明显上升,分别为对照的94.51%和126.66%,随后逐渐接近对照组。另外,淹水过程中,互叶白千层形成不定根和产生发达的通气组织,淹水植株的根孔隙度显著高于对照。     

香根草形态性状和光合特性对三峡库区消落带水陆生境变化的响应

基于定位观测,研究三峡库区消落带淹水区和未淹区香根草的形态性状、生物量、光合参数和资源利用效率,并对其适应机制进行讨论。结果显示:(1)香根草可以在消落带每年淹水期4个月左右、淹水深度小于9m的海拔区段存活。(2)淹水区香根草的地上部分多数形态性状指标较未淹区有所降低,降低幅度随香根草露出水面恢复生长的时间长短而异。(3)淹水区香根草总生物量、地上部分生物量分别减少10.58%、48.46%,而根径、根系长度、根系数量、根幅、地下生物量以及地下/地上生物量的比值分别提高12.50%、24.13%、19.09%、78.46%、30.04%、151.71%;同期香根草的蒸腾速率、气孔导度和胞间CO2浓度分别减少20.75%、9.19%和10.04%,而净光合速率、水分利用效率、表观CO2利用效率分别提高7.23%、36.47%和63.64%。研究表明,加速根系分蘖和生长、增加叶片长度和地下生物量,降低植株高度、减少蒸腾、提高水分和CO2利用效率是香根草对三峡库区消落带水陆生境变化的适应对策。     

淹水解除后玉米幼苗形态及光合生理特征恢复

以郑单958为试验材料,在盆栽条件下研究了淹水及淹水解除后玉米幼苗根系、叶片形态、光合生理及植株的恢复生长.结果表明:(1) 淹水总体上抑制玉米幼苗根系生长,短期淹水(7d)导致根系总长度、根系表面积、根系体积均显著降低,随着淹水时间延长(14d)玉米根系产生大量不定根,使得根系总长度、根系表面积、根系体积显著升高(P＜0.01);(2)淹水条件下叶片生长同样受到抑制,玉米叶面积、叶型指数和可见叶片数均显著下降;(3)淹水条件下玉米幼苗的光合性能下降,光合色素总含量降低,但短期淹水(7d)后叶绿素a/b值提高;气孔限制(Ls)是淹水7d植株光合速率下降的主要因素,而非气孔限制则是淹水14d植株光合速率下降的主要因素.(4)淹水处理7d、14d后的玉米幼苗均能够恢复生长,但恢复生长速率随淹水时间延长而降低;在恢复生长过程中,光合生理指标恢复早于形态恢复,强光对于淹水后幼苗恢复生长具有明显的抑制效应.     

不同水分胁迫对绵毛水苏幼苗形态和生理特性的影响

以绵毛水苏幼苗为试材,以正常供水为对照,研究不同水分胁迫(淹水、渍水、中度干旱、重度干旱)对绵毛水苏形态和生理指标的影响。结果表明:(1)绵毛水苏植株在淹水处理3d后外围叶片坏死,根系死亡,但茎基部有不定根萌生;渍水处理植株地上部始终无明显变化,但部分根系根尖变褐色;干旱处理7d时叶片萎蔫,且重度干旱处理叶片萎蔫程度大于中度干旱。胁迫解除后,除淹水处理在第13天恢复生长外,其余处理均在第2天恢复正常生长。(2)绵毛水苏叶片含水量和根系活力在淹水处理下显著降低,在渍水处理下无明显变化;在干旱胁迫下,叶片含水量迅速下降,而根系活力升高。(3)在各水分胁迫条件下,绵毛水苏植株叶、根的相对电导率和MDA含量均较对照显著升高,且根部受损程度均重于叶片,其中淹水胁迫受损最严重。(4)淹水处理叶片可溶性蛋白含量下降,可溶性糖、游离脯氨酸持续积累;渍水和干旱处理叶和根的可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白和游离脯氨酸均升高。研究认为,绵毛水苏具有较强的渗透调节能力,在渍水和干旱胁迫解除后迅速缓解膜质过氧化伤害,恢复正常生长;绵毛水苏虽不能在长时间淹水条件下生长,但可在渍水条件下正常生长,且能忍受干旱胁迫,可应用于滨水消落带等水分变化较大的区域。     

模拟淹水对枫杨和栓皮栎气体交换、叶绿素荧光和水势的影响

 研究了人工模拟淹水胁迫对两年生栓皮栎（Quercus variabilis）和枫杨（Pterocar yastenoptera）树苗的影响。经过70 d的淹水处理两种植物的存活率均为100%。淹水对两种植物生理生态过程的早期影响是快速降低了二者的最大净光合速率(P_max)、气 孔导度(G_s)、最大光化学量子效率（F_v/F_m）。经过7 d的淹水处理后,受淹栓皮栎的最大净光合速率是对照的39%,枫杨是对照的42%;受淹栓皮栎的气孔导度是对照的38.8%,枫杨是对照的71.9%;水淹5 d后,枫杨和栓皮栎的最大光化学量子效率分别为0.694和0.757。但经过最初的下降后,枫杨的最大净光合速率、气孔导度和最大光化学量子效率逐渐恢复,而栓皮栎的则持续下降。到淹水70 d时栓皮栎的最大净光合速率下降了94.1%,最大光化学量子效率的平均值为0 .537。在试验过程中,枫杨产生了有利于吸收氧气的不定根和肥大的皮孔,而栓皮栎没有产生不定根。随淹水时间的增加枫杨的叶绿素含量与对照没有显著差异;而栓皮栎的叶绿素含量在第33 d后大幅降低,Chla/Chlb的比值下降。淹水后第10 d和第70 d测定的清晨水势,受淹栓皮栎比对照高,而受淹枫杨比对照低,因此淹水导致的叶片水势的变化可能与树种相关。以上的试验结果表明受淹的栓皮栎的光合机构运转受到了严重影响,因此栓皮栎应属于对淹水较敏感的树种。从两种植物受淹水胁迫的形态和生理变化看,枫杨比栓皮栎更耐淹,更适合库塘消落区生境。     

近35年官厅水库消落带消涨特征及分区

水库消落带作为重要的生态交错带,是深入分析生态要素内在作用机制的特殊区域。以华北内陆大型水库——官厅水库为研究对象,选择1979—2013年Landsat MSS/TM/ETM+/OLI影像作为数据源,分析35年来官厅水库消落带的消涨特征、时空分布差异及其变化趋势,在此基础上进行消落带淹水时长和淹水频次的分区研究,揭示消落带生态结构的形成过程。研究结论如下:(1)近35年来,官厅水库水位落差较大,达8.19m,水位变化分为3个特征时期:1979—1996年,涨落周期约为4—5a的间歇涨落期;1996—2007年,水位持续下降达7.12m的持续萎缩期;2007—2013年,涨落周期为2 a,且年际变化差稳定在0.75m的频繁涨落期。(2)35年来,官厅水库水位消涨形成118.31km~2的消落带,对应3个特征时期形成消落带的面积依次为80.20km~2,76.81 km~2和19.89km~2。间歇涨落期形成的消落带主要分布在永定河河口及平坦的康西草原一带;持续萎缩期的消落带有明显向西北河岸带扩张的趋势;频繁涨落期的消落带以库心区域水位回升为主,面积仅19.89 km~2。(3)1979—2013年,基于淹水累计时长的分区中,消落带整体上表现为淹水累计时长随边岸向库区中心逐渐递增的趋势,25.85%的消落带淹水时长不足5a,71.77%的消落带淹水时长大于16 a,但随着淹水时长减少,消落带区域植物旱化现象突出,同时植被群落盖度和多样性降低。淹水频次分区中,相同淹水频次的区域在空间上离散分布,一次淹水区面积为32.79km~2,在消落带中所占比例优势明显,但累计淹水时长差异同样显著,分别为2 a和26 a,淹水最为频繁的消落带共经历了9次淹水过程;分区中的土壤有机质含量差异表明,淹水频次越高越有利于土壤有机质的积淀。     

淹水胁迫对水库消落带五节芒(Miscanthus floridulus)根际土壤酶活性的影响

五节芒(Miscanthus floridulus)是一种广泛分布于我国亚热带地区的乡土植物, 具有耐涝抗旱降污的特性。以五节芒为试验材料, 通过盆栽模拟实验, 研究其在浙南山地水库消落带生境与非消落带生境中生长的五节芒植株在经受长时间淹水胁迫后, 植株根际土壤酶活性的变化动态。结果表明: 随着淹水时间的延长, 消落带生境和非消落带生境中五节芒根际土壤过氧化氢酶、蔗糖酶、酸性磷酸酶活性都呈下降趋势。消落带生境中的过氧化氢酶活性始终高于非消落带生境中的过氧化氢酶活性, 而根际土壤蔗糖酶和酸性磷酸酶活性要始终低于非消落带生境。说明消落带生境中生长的五节芒在淹水条件下, 对土壤中有毒物质过氧化氢的清除能力要大于非消落带生境。而消落带生境中相对低的蔗糖酶和酸性磷酸酶活性能缓慢消耗淹水植株体内贮存的营养物质和能量, 提高五节芒植株的抗淹能力。      

淹水对三峡库区消落带香附子生理特性的影响

为了阐明香附子对三峡库区消落带水淹的耐淹机理,该研究模拟三峡库区消落带夏季汛期水淹环境,设置常规水分管理(CK)、根部水淹(T1)、半淹(T2)以及全淹(T3)4个不同处理组,研究香附子对不同淹水环境的生理响应机制。结果显示:(1)经过45d的水淹处理,所有水淹处理香附子叶片叶绿素a、叶绿素b、类胡萝卜素以及总叶绿素的含量均显著下降,但叶绿素a/b值仍维持在CK水平;(2)淹水并没有增加T1和T3处理植株可溶性蛋白、脯氨酸和可溶性糖含量,但显著增加了T2植株叶片脯氨酸和可溶性糖的含量;(3)随着水淹时间的延长,各水淹处理植株叶片丙二醛含量逐渐升高,且自水淹15d后均与CK植株差异显著;(4)所有水淹处理香附子植株SOD、CAT和APX等抗氧化酶活性均有所增加,但随着水淹时间的继续延长,T3植株叶片SOD和CAT活性逐渐下降。(5)经过45d的水淹处理,各水淹处理植株淀粉含量在叶和根中均显著增加。研究表明,虽然淹水对香附子产生了一定的伤害,但香附子能够通过调节体内各种保护酶活性和渗透调节物质含量来增加对水淹的抵御能力,而且根部高浓度淀粉含量也为香附子耐受水淹胁迫提供了稳定的能量供应。     

Contrasting growth and adaptive responses of two oak species to flooding stress: role of non-symbiotic haemoglobin

Soil flooding is an environmental constraint that is increasingly important for forest ecosystems, affecting tree growth and regeneration. As a result, selection pressure will alter forest diversity and distribution by favouring tree species tolerant of soil oxygen deprivation. Sessile and pedunculate oaks are the most abundant oak species and they exhibit a strong differential tolerance to waterlogging. In order to gain some understanding of the mechanisms of tolerance of both species to hypoxia, we undertook the characterization of the physiological, morphological, cellular and molecular responses of both species to flooding stress. Our results indicate that pedunculate oak, the more tolerant species, succeeded in maintaining its growth, water status and photosynthetic activity at a higher level than sessile oak. Furthermore, pedunculate oak developed aerenchyma in its root cortex as well as adventitious roots. The later exhibited a strong accumulation of class1 non-symbiotic haemoglobin localized by in situ hybridization in the protoderm and in some cortical cells. In conclusion, the higher tolerance of pedunculate oak to flooding was associated with an enhanced capacity to maintain photosynthesis and water homeostasis, coupled with the development of adaptive features (aerenchyma, adventitious roots) and with a higher expression of non-symbiotic haemoglobin in the roots.     

红树植物淹水胁迫响应研究进展

潮汐淹水是红树植物面临的主要环境胁迫之一,也是导致目前红树林造林成活率低的一个关键因子。由于长期适应于水淹生境,红树植物发育出一套适应于潮间带生长的抗淹水机制。综述了与红树植物相关的抗淹水胁迫响应机制,包括了形态结构、生长、水分和光合作用、膜脂过氧化系统和根系脱氢酶系统、内源激素和胁迫多胺等5个方面。提出应用人工潮汐系统研究红树植物的淹水抗性机理是确定不同种类红树植物的耐淹水能力的有效手段。并指出生长的研究是淹水胁迫响应研究的基础,而与分子手段相结合的激素水平的研究将在红树植物抗性胁迫研究中得到重视。     

涝渍胁迫对不同树种生长和能量代谢酶活性的影响

为了解涝渍条件下不同树种的耐涝性和适应性,通过田间模拟试验,分析了涝渍胁迫对1年生落羽杉、美国山核桃和乌桕实生苗生长及能量代谢酶的影响.试验分为对照、渍水和淹水3个处理,处理时间为60 d.结果表明：在渍水和淹水条件下,3种树种的相对生长率均表现为落羽杉>美国山核桃>乌桕,落羽杉耐涝性最强,乌桕耐涝性最弱.涝渍条件下,3种树种的根冠比显著增加,更多的光合产物被分配到根系.3树种乙醇脱氢酶和乳酸脱氢酶活性显著升高,其中耐涝性强的落羽杉增加幅度不大,但一直维持在较高水平;而乌桕和美国山核桃在处理初期增幅较大,在处理后期呈下降趋势.3种树种的苹果酸脱氢酶、磷酸己糖异构酶和葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶-6-磷酸葡萄糖酸脱氢酶的活性均低于对照,其中落羽杉降幅最低,淹水条件下分别下降35.6%、21.0%和22.7%.耐涝性强的树种能够通过自身的调节,维持各种能量代谢途径的强度,为树种在低氧条件下的生命活动提供能量,进而维持一定的生长量.     

Interaction of flooding with carbon metabolism of forest trees

Waterlogging and flooding cause oxygen deprivation in the root system of trees. Since oxygen is essentially for mitochondrial respiration, this process cannot be maintained under anoxic conditions and must be replaced by other pathways. For the roots it is therefore a matter of survival to switch from respiration to alcoholic fermentation. Due to the low efficiency of this process to yield energy equivalents (ATP), energy and carbon metabolism of trees are usually strongly affected by oxygen deprivation, even if a rapid switch from respiration to fermentation is achieved. The roots can compensate for the low energy yield of fermentation either (1) by decreasing the demand for energy by a reduction of energy-dependent processes such as root growth and/or nutrient uptake, or (2) by consuming more carbohydrates per unit time in order to generate sufficient energy equivalents. In the leaves of trees, flooding and waterlogging cause a decline in the rates of photosynthesis and transpiration, as well as in stomatal conductance. It is assumed that, due to reduced phloem transport, soluble sugars and starch accumulate in the leaves of flooded trees, thereby negatively affecting the sugar supply of the roots. Thus, root growth and survival is negatively affected by both changes in root internal carbon metabolism and impaired carbon allocation to the roots by phloem transport. In addition, accumulation of toxic products of fermentation in the roots, such as acetaldehyde, can further impair root metabolism. A main feature of tolerance against flooding and waterlogging of trees seems to be the steady supply of carbohydrates to the roots in order to maintain alcoholic fermentation; in addition, roots of tolerant trees seem to avoid accumulation of fermentation-derived ethanol and acetaldehyde. From studies with flooding tolerant and non-tolerant tree species, it is hypothesized that (1) the transport of ethanol produced in the roots under hypoxic conditions into the leaves via the transpiration stream, (2) its conversion into acetyl-CoA in the leaves, and (3) its use in the plant's general metabolism, are mechanisms of flooding tolerance of trees.     

Physiological and anatomical adaptations induced by flooding in Cotula coronopifolia

Cotula coronopifolia is a wild annual Asteraceae that grows in periodically-flooded prone environments and seems highly tolerant to periodic flooding. Seedlings of about 15 cm were collected directly from the edge of Soliman sabkha (N-E Tunisia, semi-arid stage) and grown under greenhouse conditions. Two treatments were considered: drainage and flooding. After 56 days of treatment, flooded plants showed a pronounced growth increase. This performance was essentially associated with significant increment in biomass production of both shoots and roots (about 220% of the control). The appropriate response to flooding was also characterized by the ability of the species to maintain its water status under such conditions. Neither water content nor water potential showed a significant variation as compared to those of non-flooded plants. However, transpiration rate decreased slightly but significantly in flooded plants (from 0.86 to 0.64 mmol H2O m-2 s-1). Na+ and K+ concentrations were practically maintained under waterlogging conditions, except a significant increase of Na+ content in roots of flooded plants (157% of the control). These responses were concomitant with maintenance of photosynthetic rate. However, the contents of chlorophylls a and b increased to 167% and 295%, respectively. It seems that the enhancement in these photosynthetic pigments together with a significant improvement in water use efficiency (from 4.66 to 6.07 mmol CO2 mol-1 H2O) allowed to the species to compensate the decrease in photosynthetic rate. At the anatomical level, this species responded to flooding by a significant development of its root aerenchyma (+63%) and an increase in the lignification of its stem xylem tissues (+37%). Based on the presented data, the plant fitness under flooding conditions was a result of dynamic readjustment of several morphological, physiological, and anatomical adaptive traits. Flood requirement together with salt tolerance are responsible for the predominance of C. coronopifolia in a large area in its natural biotope where most plants cannot tolerate interactive effects of flooding and salinity.     

三峡水库消落区植被在差异性水淹环境中的分布格局

人工水库修建引发的差异性水文节律是决定消落区植被群落格局的主要因素,高强度水淹环境中水淹胁迫是影响植被的重要因子而低强度水淹环境中物种竞争是影响植被的重要因子。为了探究差异性水淹环境中三峡水库消落区植物的水淹耐受能力及光资源竞争能力(植物株高)对植被群落分布格局的影响,对三峡水库典型消落区不同水淹强度下生长的植被进行了研究,结果表明:(1)典型消落区调查共发现有植物41种,其中高耐淹低竞争能力型植物4种,其生物量在所有物种生物量中的占比达70.99%,低耐淹高竞争能力型植物23种,其生物量占比为28.02%,低耐淹低竞争能力型植物14种,生物量占比不足1%,消落区内无高耐淹高竞争能力型植物物种分布;(2)高耐淹低竞争能力型植物在水淹强度大的消落区区域占优,低耐淹高竞争能力型植物在植物物种竞争压力大的消落区区域占据主导,低耐淹低竞争能力型植物在消落区中仅有零星分布;(3)消落区植被生物量格局随着高程增加呈现出先增加后减少的趋势。研究差异性水淹环境对三峡水库消落区植被分布的影响,可以为深入理解消落区植被分布格局的形成机制和大型水库消落区植被恢复与重建提供理论依据。     

Waterlogging induced oxidative stress and antioxidant activity in pigeonpea genotypes

The objective of this study was to examine the role of antioxidant enzymes in waterlogging tolerance of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. Halls) genotypes ICP 301 (tolerant) and Pusa 207 (susceptible). Waterlogging resulted in visible yellowing and senescence of leaves, decrease in leaf area, dry matter, relative water content and chlorophyll content in leaves, and membrane stability index in roots and leaves. The decline in all parameters was greater in Pusa 207 than ICP 301. Oxidative stress in the form of superoxide radical, hydrogen peroxide and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) contents initially decreased, however at 4 and 6 d of waterlogging it increased over control plants, probably due to activation of DPI-sensitive NADPH-oxidase. Antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase and catalase also increased under waterlogging. The comparatively greater antioxidant enzyme activities resulting in less oxidative stress in ICP 301 could be one of the factor determining its higher tolerance to flooding as compared to Pusa 207. This study is the first to conclusively prove that waterlogging induced increase in ROS is via NADPH oxidase.     

三峡库区两种耐水淹植物的存活率和碳水化合物储备关系

野古草和秋花柳是三峡库区消落带两种强水淹耐受能力的植物物种。以往研究显示植物的水淹耐受性和体内碳水化合物储备有关。为了探明野古草和秋花柳水淹下的高存活率是否和碳水化合物储备有关, 研究了在室外6个月的模拟水淹条件下两个物种在不同水淹时间(40、90、120和180d)和不同水淹深度下(不水淹、根部水淹和完全淹没)的生物量积累、存活率和碳水化合物含量和分布。结果表明: (1)野古草和秋花柳对长期水淹具有很高的耐受性, 根部水淹植物6个月处理后完全存活; 而完全淹没条件下, 野古草仅在4个月, 秋花柳仅在6个月处理后才开始死亡; (2)碳水化合物主要储备在野古草的茎和秋花柳的茎与主根中, 野古草的根和秋华柳的细根中碳水化合物含量很低; (3)水淹深度和水淹时间对植物生物量积累和碳水化合物含量影响显著(P 0.05):与未水淹植株相比, 根部水淹仅略微降低了生物量积累以及可溶性糖和淀粉含量 (P 0.05), 且保持基本稳定或增加的趋势, 而完全淹没的植株生物量随水淹时间逐渐降低, 碳水化合物含量在前90天快速下降 (P 0.05), 之后缓慢下降或保持不变。研究结果表明, 野古草和秋花柳强的水淹耐受性是和它们高的碳水化合物储备以及水淹条件下对碳水化合物的动用能力有关, 后期的死亡率增加与碳水化合物储备消耗殆尽有关, 野古草和秋花柳对碳水化合物储备对水淹的响应的差异可能和它们的碳水化合物储备在不同组织中的分配模式有关。       

Physiological responses of cotton to a single waterlogging at high and low N-levels

Surface-irrigated cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) grown on slowly draining clay soil is subjected to short-term periods of waterlogging at each irrigation which generally results in reduced productivity. The sequence of above- and below-ground plant responses to transient waterlogging and the role of N availability in modifying the immediate responses were studied. Lysimeters of Marah clay loam (a Natrustalf) were instrumented to monitor soil and plant responses to a 7-day waterlogging event beginning 67 days after sowing. Cotton (‘Deltapine 61’) plants (8 per lysimeter) were grown with two levels of added N (300 kg ha⁻¹ and 30 kg ha⁻¹) and two irrigation treatments (flooded and control). Measured soil-O₂ levels decreased rapidly upon surface flooding because water displaced air and root zone respiration consumed O₂. The rate of O₂ consumption was 2.7 times greater in the high-N treatment than the low-N treatment. This difference was associated with a 1.8 fold difference in numbers of observed roots. Root growth was only slightly affected by flooding. Leaf growth decreased by 28%, foliage temperature increased 2.3% and apparent photosynthesis decreased by 16%. It is suggested that flooding reduced photosynthetic activity within 2 days while other stress symptoms became apparent after about 6 days. Although this stress was reflected in a trend for decreased plant productivity, the effect of flooding on boll dry mass at harvest was not significant at the level of replication used. The single waterlogging did not cause yield reductions comparable to those observed elsewhere when several waterlogging events were imposed.

水淹对秋华柳幼苗生理生态特征的影响

秋华柳广泛分布于三峡库区河谷与溪流坡岸,对水土保持及稳固堤岸具有重要作用.通过模拟水淹试验,研究了秋华柳幼苗对水淹的适应能力及机理.结果表明：所有处理秋华柳植株全部存活.水淹对秋华柳幼苗的最大光合速率、蒸腾强度、气孔导度和水分利用效率都有显著影响.水淹初期(20 d),植株的各项生理指标值变化较小,其中最大光合速率和蒸腾强度分别比对照下降18.5%和2.2%;30 d后,分别下降53.4%和23.7%,随后又趋于稳定.植株叶绿素和类胡萝卜素含量及其比值均随水淹时间的增加而逐渐降低,其中叶绿素/类胡萝卜素比值在4.873～6.883,而叶绿素a/b比值则在2.855～3.912之间变动.水淹还诱导秋华柳幼苗产生不定根,有利于植株氧气的补给.说明秋华柳幼苗对水淹的适应能力较强,可作为库区水位消落带植被恢复与重建的先锋物种.
