盐碱戈壁药用植物骆驼刺内生菌的分离、培养与鉴定

骆驼刺(Alhagi sparsifolia Shap.)是新疆民间常用药用植物。为了解骆驼刺内生菌的多样性,获得骆驼刺的内生菌资源,本实验在新疆维吾尔克拉玛依盐碱戈壁(北纬45°16’,东经85°2’)采集骆驼刺。利用常规平板分离方法进行植物内生菌菌株的分离、培养,测定菌株16S r DNA基因序列,并结合系统发育分析进行鉴定。从骆驼刺中共分离到可培养内生菌50株,分属于葡萄球菌属(Staphylococcus)、芽胞杆菌属(Bacillus)、芽胞八叠球菌属(Sporosarcina)、微杆菌属(Exiguobacterium)、气球菌属(Aerococcus)、巨型球菌属(Macrococcus)、多米杆菌(Domibacillus)、巴尔加瓦菌属(Bhargavaea)、微球菌属(Micrococcus)、棒杆菌属(Corynebacterium)、考克菌属(Kocuria)、细杆菌属(Microbacterium)、副球菌属(Paracoccus)、马西利亚菌属(Massilia)和耐辐射球菌属(Deinococcus)15个菌属。其中葡萄球菌属占绝对优势,其次为芽胞杆菌属,为环境和植物当中广泛存在的菌属,分离获得的其他细菌与骆驼刺生长环境(盐渍化严重,高辐射)有关,内生菌多样性与骆驼刺在新疆干旱、寒冷、盐碱土壤环境中的适应性机制具有密切的联系。

Forest characteristics and population structure of Glyptostrobus pensilis,a globally endangered relict species of southeastern China

The Chinese water pine Glyptostrobus pensilis is the sole surviving species of the genus Glyptostrobus. It is endemic to southern China, central Vietnam, and eastern Laos, and today it is nearly extinct in the wild. Forest community characteristics and population structure of G. pensilis in China have remained un-known up to now. We investigated six swamp forest stands and analyzed their forest community characteristics (i.e. vertical stratification, species composition, and diversity) and population structure, including the frequency distribution of DBH (diameter at breast height) and age-classes as found in Fujian Province, southeastern China. The vertical stratifications of all the forest stands were rather simple. The remaining wild specimens ranged from roughly 15 to some 357 years for an average of ca. 85 years, with only a few individuals less than 20 years old. Compared with the stands and populations of G. pensilis in Vietnam, the taxonomic compositions of the stands in the two regions were different, except for the dominant species-G. pensilis. The Shannon-Wiener index showed the overstory of each stand had much lower diversity (0.26 on average) in Fujian Province than that (1.97 on average) in Vietnam, whereas the diversity indices were about the same (around 2.41) for the understories in the two regions. Furthermore, we discovered 18 G. pensilis seedlings at the study sites in Fujian Province. This discovery demonstrates that G. pensilis regeneration is extremely poor and its populations are declining, although these populations are rela-tively healthier than those in Vietnam.     

基于主成分-聚类-逐步回归分析构建番茄苗期耐铝性综合评价体系

铝毒是限制酸性土壤中作物产量的主要因素之一。番茄(Solanum lycopersicum)是适合在酸性土壤中种植的主要经济作物, 不同品种番茄对铝胁迫的响应存在差异, 因此, 筛选苗期耐铝毒种质对番茄生产及研究具有重要意义。以10个番茄品种为材料, 采用室内土培盆栽, 设置1 000 µmol∙L^-1 AlCl₃·6H₂O处理, 测定反映植物铝胁迫下生长状况的16个形态、生理生化及光合指标。通过主成分分析, 将铝胁迫下番茄幼苗的16个指标转化为5个独立的综合指标, 累积贡献率达90.779%。基于耐铝性综合评价值(A)的系统聚类分析, 将供试种质划分为5类, 第I类为高度耐铝品种Qianxi, 第V类为高度不耐铝品种Puluowangsi。经多元线性逐步回归分析得出番茄苗期耐铝评价方程: y=0.046+0.405X₆+0.515X₁₀-0.207X₁₅+0.028X₃ (R²=0.997), 从16个指标中提取出与A值显著相关(P<0.01)的4个指标: 丙二醛含量(X₃)、净光合速率(X₆)、叶面积(X₁₀)和地下部干重(X₁₅)。利用评价方程可判断不同番茄品种苗期的耐铝性, 使番茄耐铝性鉴定工作快速简便。     

气温和根区温度对葡萄叶片光合荧光特性的影响

为探究气温和根区温度对葡萄(Vitis vinifera)叶片光合荧光特性的影响, 以一年生巨峰葡萄为试材, 设置对照、高气温、高根区温度和两者交叉作用共4组处理。结果表明, 相较于对照和高气温, 高根区温度以及交叉处理叶片最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m)降低更明显; 与对照相比, 高根区温度以及高气温与高根区温度交叉处理下光系统II (PSII)实际光化学效率Y(II)显著降低, 非调节能量耗散的量子产量Y(NPQ)及Q_A氧化还原状态(1-q_P)值显著上升。同时, 高根区温度以及高气温与高根区温度交叉处理显著增加了J点的可变荧光(V_j), 而用于电子传递的量子产额(φ_Eo)及性能指数(PI_ABS)显著降低。此外, 高根区温度以及高气温与高根区温度交叉处理下单位面积有活性的反应中心数目(RC/CS_m)也显著下降, K点相对可变荧光(W_k)明显上升。综上所述, 高根区温度是高气温与根区高温交叉胁迫的主导因子, PSII受体侧是主要的伤害位点, 高气温加剧了高根区温度对PSII造成的伤害。
