缺磷胁迫下的小麦根系形态特征研究

研究了缺磷条件下不同基因型小麦（Triticum aestivum L.)苗期根系形态学适应特征,以明确环境因子对根系不同组分（根轴和侧根）生长发育调控作用的强度和根系形态与磷营养效率关系。在缺P环境中,小麦根轴数量和侧根长度明显减小,同化物向根部的分配比例增加,根轴长度、侧根数量和根系长度等均有显著提高。供试基因型小麦的根轴数量及其长度的差异在每个供磷水平及不同供磷水平之间均呈显著,说明这两种性状的差异是由基因型和环境因素共同决定的;而侧根特征的差异只在不同供磷水平间显著,表明侧根性状主要受环境因素的控制。对6种基因型小麦的研究表明,根轴数量、根轴长度、根生长角度和根系长度根角之间存在着显著的基因型差异。相关分析表明,小麦的相对产量与缺磷条件下的小麦苗期根系形态指标的交互作用之间具有显著的线性关系。这种关系说明根系形态性状可作为早期有效地筛选磷高效小麦品种的指标。

干旱胁迫下紫花苜蓿根系形态变化及与水分利用的关系

采用盆栽实验方法研究了紫花苜蓿(品种:陇东和阿尔冈金)根系形态、生物量、蒸腾耗水量等对持续干旱的反应及与水分利用效率(WUE)间的关系,以期揭示紫花苜蓿对干旱胁迫的适应机制。结果表明:干旱胁迫使得紫花苜蓿根系形态特征在年季间、茬次间和品种间发生了显著变化,主要表现为主根伸长生长受到抑制、主根直径变细、侧根和根系总长度伸长生长则被促进、根系表面积和直径≥1mm的侧根数目显著增加、根系生物量下降,这是紫花苜蓿对干旱逆境的适应策略,但这种适应性存在限度。另一方面,干旱胁迫条件下紫花苜蓿草产量和蒸腾耗水量也因生长年限、茬次和品种的不同而呈现不同程度的降低。紫花苜蓿根系形态性状(总根长、根系生物量与根冠比)与植株水分利用效率间具有显著的相关性,其中根重对水分效率的影响是第一位的。WUE在根系形态与冠层水分消耗的协同变化下得到有限提高。对干旱的耐性最终表现为第2年第1年、第1茬和第2茬第3茬、陇东阿尔冈金。     

铝胁迫对马尾松幼苗根系形态及活力的影响

采用砂基栽培,研究不同铝胁迫强度(0、50、100、150、200μmol.L-1)和胁迫时间(30d、60d和100d)条件下,对马尾松(Pinus massoniana)幼苗单株根长、根干重、根系质膜透性、根系吸收总面积、活跃吸收面积和根系活力的影响。结果表明:低水平胁迫(0~50μmol.L-1)对马尾松幼苗根系生理指标影响较小;中等水平胁迫(100μmol.L-1)是马尾松根系生长和活力变化的转折点;重度胁迫(150~200μmol.L-1)条件下,根系生理指标呈现大幅度下降变化趋势。根长、根质量、质膜透性和根系活力可作为马尾松幼苗根系受铝毒害的鉴定指标。短时间(30d)根际供铝,马尾松幼苗适应能力较强,根系生长抑制不明显;栽培30d以上时,马尾松根部对铝胁迫的响应随胁迫时间的增加而加剧。     

冬季作物种植对双季稻根系酶活性及形态指标的影响

基于湖南长沙7a定位试验,以冬闲为对照,研究了冬种马铃薯、紫云英及油菜为前茬作物对早、晚稻根系酶活性、形态指标及产量的影响.结果表明,与冬闲相比,冬种作物后早、晚稻根系丙二醛(MDA)含量增加,但其根系的活性氧清除能力更强(SOD、POD和CAT活性高),能够在一定程度上缓解膜脂过氧化作用带来的伤害;冬种不同作物对早晚稻根系形态的影响表现不一.冬种马铃薯和紫云英处理在早稻生育后期的根系优势明显,并能在一定程度上促进晚稻根系生长,双季稻总产量较对照分别增加6.29％和7.76％,而冬种油菜抑制了晚稻根系生长,导致晚稻产量及双季稻总产分别降低6.31％和1.96％;相关性分析表明,灌浆期较高的根长、根数、根体积和根表面积是冬种作物改善双季稻产量的主要原因.综合来看,冬种马铃薯和紫云英对于促进双季稻根系生长,提高稻谷产量具有重要作用,而冬种油菜则不利于提高双季稻的稻谷生产力.     

小麦根系与土壤水分胁迫关系的研究进展

几十年来,大量科学工作者为拓宽小麦根系对土壤水分的吸收能力和调控根系对干旱的适应能力,挖掘干旱地区的生产潜力,实现高产做了大量细致的研究工作,取得了许多重要研究成果,综述了土壤水分胁迫对小麦根系形态、构型建成和生理指标影响的影响。过去进行的研究表明,干旱胁迫条件下,不仅表达小麦根系形态和构型建成指标的根系数量、根系比表面积、根冠比、根生长势、根水势,导管直径等发生显著变化,而且表达根系生理指标的伤流流、根呼吸速率、根系质膜透性、膜脂过氧化水平、保护酶及其同工酶等也发生相应改变,虽然不同的研究者所获得的研究结果不同,有的甚至相互矛盾,但从总体看,各种变要是对干旱胁迫的一种适应性反应,有利于提高小麦的抗旱能力,对干旱条件下产量的形成具有重要作用。     

四种常见杂草根系及根边缘细胞对铝胁迫的响应

以2种禾本科杂草(升马唐、稗草)和2种菊科杂草(旱莲草、野茼蒿)为实验材料,通过砂培法研究不同科属杂草根部对铝胁迫的响应.结果表明:4种杂草根边缘细胞活性均随着铝胁迫浓度和时间呈显著下降的趋势,但禾本科杂草根系边缘细胞的活性高于菊科杂草,且活性的降低幅度较小;4种杂草根相对伸长率均随铝浓度和处理时间的增加呈递减趋势,但铝对旱莲草和野茼蒿根生长的抑制程度要明显高于升马唐和稗草;根系的铝含量、游离脯氨酸含量、MDA 含量和质膜透性均随铝处理浓度和处理时间的增加而增大,且在高铝浓度(1000 mg · L~(-1))时达到最大值,但升马唐和稗草根系的铝含量、游离脯氨酸含量、MDA含量和质膜透性均显著低于旱莲草和野茼蒿,且随着铝浓度的增加,禾本科杂草根系的游离脯氨酸含量及MDA含量的变化没有达到显著水平(P＞0.05).由此说明,铝毒对杂草造成的伤害随着浓度增加和时间延长而加重;升马唐和稗草的根系通过较高的根边缘细胞活性和根相对伸长率及较低的铝含量、游离脯氨酸含量、MDA含量和质膜透性来增加其对铝的耐性;2种禾本科杂草(升马唐、稗草)的耐铝性高于2种菊科杂草(旱莲草、野茼蒿).     

Genotypic variation in drought response of silver birch (Betula pendula Roth): leaf and root morphology and carbon partitioning

This study investigates the drought response of four genotypes of Betula pendula with a focus on leaf and root morphological traits, leaf phenology and carbon partitioning between shoot and root. Potted one-year-old clonal plants of four genotypes from regions with low to high annual rainfall (550–1270 mm year⁻¹) were subjected to drought periods of 12–14 weeks in two subsequent years. Well-watered control plants of the four genotypes differed significantly with respect to total leaf area per plant (LA) and specific leaf area (SLA), whereas differences in total fine root surface area (RA), root specific area (SRA), and the fine root:leaf mass ratio (FR:LM) were not significant. Highest LA and SLA were found in the clone originating from the driest environment. In complementary physiological investigations this clone was found to have the highest water use as well which was interpreted as competitive superiority in terms of water consumption. Drought resulted in an increase in SLA in all genotypes, and a decrease in LA. Leaf area reduction was more pronounced in the genotypes from high than in those from low rainfall origin. The ratio of total root to leaf surfaces remained more or less constant after drought application despite an increase in FR:LM. This is explained by a decrease in SRA resulting from a reduced abundance of very small fine rootlets (diameter <0.2 mm) in the drought-treated plants. The loss in total root surface area due to a reduction in finest root mass was compensated for by a relative increase in total root dry mass per plant. Comparison of results from the first and second drought period indicated a marked influence of timing of drought, root system size, and putative root limitation on plant drought response. We conclude that leaf and root morphology, the total leaf and root surfaces, and the morphological response to drought in birch are to a large extent under genetic control.     

Effect of aluminium toxicity on root morphology of barley

Conclusion The greater tolerance of Dayton to A1 can be explained by a longer resistance of the plasmalemma towards A1 stress. Whether a stronger mucigel production could be resonsible for increased A1 tolerance has to be examined in more detail.     

Growth and morphological responses to water level and nutrient supply in three emergent macrophyte species

Sanjiang Plain is the largest freshwater marsh in China, where plant zonation along water-level gradients is a common phenomenon. The aim of this experiment was to identify the role of water level and nutrient availability on plant zonation in the plain. Growth and root morphology of three perennial emergent macrophyte species were investigated by growing in two water levels (0.1 and 10.0 cm, relative to soil surface) and in two levels of nutrient supply (0 and 0.5 g slow-release fertilizer per container). In the plain, Carex lasiocarpa typically occurs at low elevations, Glyceria spiculosa at medial elevations, and Deyeuxia angustifolia at high elevations. The relative growth rate was the highest in C. lasiocarpa and the lowest in D. angustifolia in the 10.0-cm water level. Among the three species, only total biomass of D. angustifolia was affected by water level, and decreased with increasing water level. High nutrient supply led to increased total biomass in C. lasiocarpa and G. spiculosa. High water level led to an increased root diameter in G. spiculosa and a decreased root length in C. lasiocarpa. In the 10.0-cm water level, low nutrient supply led to thinner roots in D. angustifolia, but resulted in an increased specific root length (SRL) in C. lasiocarpa and root diameter in G. spiculosa. Water-level effect on root porosity was only observed in G. spiculosa, and nutrient amendment did not influence root porosity in all the species. These data indicate that both nutrient and water level are important factors regulating plant distribution pattern in the Sanjiang Plain, because both C. lasiocarpa and G. spiculosa are relatively sensitive to nutrient supply whereas D. angustifolia is sensitive to water level.

Tropical moist <Emphasis Type="Italic">Polylepis</Emphasis> stands at the treeline in East Bolivia: the effect of elevation on stand microclimate,above- and below-ground structure,and regeneration

We studied Polylepis forests along an elevational transect between 3,650 and 4,050 m a.s.l. at the treeline of the moist eastern cordillera in Bolivia to examine changes in above- and below-ground stand structure, leaf and root morphology, and regeneration in relation to stand microclimate. Field measurements and model predictions indicated relatively cold growth conditions of the Polylepis forests. Tree height, stem diameter, and basal area of the stands decreased markedly while stem density increased with elevation. Leaf morphology differed between the two occurring Polylepis species, and trees at the treeline had smaller leaves with higher specific leaf area. In contrast, fine root biomass increased from 37 g m⁻² at the lowermost stand to 234 g m⁻² at the treeline. Trees of the uppermost stand had higher specific root surface area and a much higher number of root tips per unit dry mass. Thus, root surface area and total number of root tips per unit ground area increased conspicuously from the lowermost stand to the treeline. Density of young growth inside the forest increased towards the treeline, while density in the open grassland decreased with elevation. Young growth originated from sexual reproduction at the lower forest but was comprised exclusively of root suckers at the treeline stand. We conclude that both the marked change in carbon allocation towards the root system, as well as the changes in root morphology with elevation indicate an adaptation to reduced nutrient supply under cold conditions of these Polylepis stands at the treeline in E Bolivia.
