Elevated CO2 alters anatomy,physiology, growth,and reproduction of red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle L.)

Mangroves, woody halophytes restricted to protected tropical coasts, form some of the most productive ecosystems in the world, but their capacity to act as a carbon source or sink under climate change is unknown. Their ability to adjust growth or to function as potential carbon sinks under conditions of rising atmospheric CO₂ during global change may affect global carbon cycling, but as yet has not been investigated experimentally. Halophyte responses to CO₂ doubling may be constrained by the need to use carbon conservatively under water-limited conditions, but data are lacking to issue general predictions. We describe the growth, architecture, biomass allocation, anatomy, and photosynthetic physiology of the predominant neotropical mangrove tree, Rhizophora mangle L., grown solitarily in ambient (350 ll^–1) and double-ambient (700 ll^–1) CO₂ concentrations for over 1 year. Mangrove seedlings exhibited significantly increased biomass, total stem length, branching activity, and total leaf area in elevated CO₂. Enhanced total plant biomass under high CO₂ was associated with higher root:shoot ratios, relative growth rates, and net assimilation rates, but few allometric shifts were attributable to CO₂ treatment independent of plant size. Maximal photosynthetic rates were enhanced among high-CO₂ plants while stomatal conductances were lower, but the magnitude of the treatment difference declined over time, and high-CO₂ seedlings showed a lower P_max at 700 ll^–1 CO₂ than low-CO₂ plants transferred to 700 ll^–1 CO₂: possible evidence of downregulation. The relative thicknesses of leaf cell layers were not affected by treatment. Stomatal density decreased as epidermal cells enlarged in elevated CO₂. Foliar chlorophyll, nitrogen, and sodium concentrations were lower in high CO₂. Mangroves grown in high CO₂ were reproductive after only 1 year of growth (fully 2 years before they typically reproduce in the field), produced aerial roots, and showed extensive lignification of the main stem; hence, elevated CO₂ appeared to accelerate maturation as well as growth. Data from this long-term study suggest that certain mangrove growth characters will change flexibly as atmospheric CO₂ increases, and accord with responses previously shown in Rhizophora apiculata. Such results must be integrated with data from sea-level rise studies to yield predictions of mangrove performance under changing climate.     

多胚水稻ApⅢ（双13）的胚胎学观察

对多胚水稻（Ｏｒｙｚａ ｓａｔｉｖａ Ｌ．）ＡｐⅢ的大量成熟颖果、人工萌发的幼苗和开花后３～５ ｄ 的幼嫩颖果进行的整体解剖和显微制片观察表明：ＡｐⅢ的５０００粒成熟颖果中,８９．０％ 含单胚单苗,８．９％ 和１．２％分别含双胚双苗和三胚三苗;７００多粒幼嫩颖果中,９０．０％ ～９５．０％ 含单胚,５．０％ ～７．０％ 含双胚。因制片的数目有限,未见到含三胚的;在含单胚和多胚颖果中,胚均位于同一胚囊的珠孔端,未见到胚囊以外存在不定胚。根据上述结果,似可以认为ＡｐⅢ单粒颖果的双胚和三胚是由同一胚囊内的卵细胞和１或２个助细胞受精或不受精发育而来的

大豆结瘤突变体成分的初步分析及其对硝酸还原酶活性和结瘤的影响

超结瘤大豆（Ｇｌｙｃｉｎｅ ｍ ａｘ （Ｌ．） Ｍｅｒｒ．） ｎｔｓ ３８２ 和不结瘤大豆Ｎｏｄ ４９ 的叶和根组织水提取物经Ｓｅｐｈａｄｅｘ Ｇ２５ 过滤、洗脱,再根据洗脱物对硝酸还原酶（ＮＲ）活性的影响可划分为４ 个组分（ｆｒａｃｔｉｏｎ）样品,即ｎｔｓ ３８２（Ｎｏｄ ４９） Ｆ１、ｎｔｓ ３８２（Ｎｏｄ ４９） Ｆ２、ｎｔｓ ３８２（Ｎｏｄ ４９） Ｆ３ 和ｎｔｓ ３８２（Ｎｏｄ ４９） Ｆ４。其中, ｎｔｓ３８２ Ｆ２ 和Ｆ４ 抑制ＮＲ 活性作用在接种ＵＳＤＡ１１０ 后明显下降, 但接种的ｎｔｓ ３８２ Ｆ２ 却能提高大豆Ｂｒａｇｇ 的结瘤数达一倍, 而接种的ｎｔｓ ３８２ Ｆ３ 和Ｆ４ 的作用不明显。ＮＲ 活性抑制因子不是刺激结瘤的因子, 刺激结瘤的因子主要分布在接种的ｎｔｓ３８２ Ｆ２ 部分中。与这一现象相反, Ｎｏｄ ４９ Ｆ２ 和Ｆ４ 抑制ＮＲ活性的作用在接种后更强, 且也抑制大豆ｎｔｓ ３８２ 的结瘤, 其中Ｎｏｄ ４９ Ｆ４ 抑制结瘤的作用基本不能逆转。抑制结瘤因子主要分布在接过种的Ｎｏｄ ４９ Ｆ４ 部分中

The Role in Ozone Phytotoxicity of the Evolution of Ethylene upon Induction of 1-Aminocydopropane-1-carboxylic Acid Synthase by Ozone Fumigation in Tomato Plants

The rate of evolution of ethylene by tomato plants was rapidlyincreased by O₃ fumigation. The time course of the increasein 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase activitywas the same as that in the rate of evolution of ethylene, suggestingthat ACC synthase activity might be a rate-limiting step inthe evolution of ethylene that is caused by O₃ fumigation. Therate of the O₃-induced evolution of ethylene was increased bythe application of ACC to tomato plants, suggesting the involvementof ACC oxidase in the O₃-induced evolution of ethylene. Treatmentof plants with tiron inhibited the evolution of ethane, butnot of ethylene. These results indicated that evolution of ethylenein O₃-treated tomato plants might result from enzymatic reactionscatalyzed by both ACC synthase and ACC oxidase, but not fromstimulation by O₃ of the peroxidation of lipids mediated byfree radicals. Pretreatment of leaves with aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG), aninhibitor of ACC synthase, significantly inhibited the evolutionof ethylene that was induced by O₃ and concomitantly reducedthe extent of O₃-induced visible damage to leaves. Treatmentwith 2,5-norbonadiene, an inhibitor of the action of ethylene,strongly reduced the extent of visible damage caused by O₃,even though it did not suppress the evloution of ethylene. Theseresults indicate that ethylene acts on certain metabolic processesto cause visible damage. (Received September 7, 1995; Accepted December 18, 1995)
