In vitro plantlet production system for Kaempferia galanga,a rare Indian medicinal herb

A rapid clonal propagation system for Kaempferia galanga (Zingiberaceae), a rare folk medicinal herb has been developed. Various concentrations of 6-benzyladenine (BA) and a range of auxins have been investigated for in vitro plantlet production, using rhizomes as explants. In vitro plantlet production has been achieved on 0.75 × Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 12 μM BA, 3 μM ∝-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 3% sucrose. The procedure ensures 13-fold rate of plantlet production every 4 weeks. Hardened plantlets produced normal storage roots as the parent plants. Around 1,000 plantlets have been produced successfully for field transfer. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Ultrastructural Study of Secondary Wall Formation in the Stem Fiber of Phyllostachys pubescens

Ultrastructural changes in secondary wall formation of Phyllostachys pubescens Mazel fiber were investigated with transmission electron microscopy. Fiber developed initially with the elongation of cells containing ribosomes, mitochondria and Golgi bodies in the dense cytoplasm. During the wall thickening, the number of rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi bodies increased apparently. There were two kinds of Golgi vesicles, together with the ones from endoplasmic reticulum formed transport vesicles. Many microtubules were arranged parallel to the long axis of the cell adjacent to the plasmalemma. Along with the further development of fiber, polylamellate structure of the secondary wall appeared, with concurrent agglutination of chromatin in the nucleus, swelling and disintegration of organelles, while cortical microtubules were still arranged neatly against the inner side of plasmalemma. Lomasomes could be observed between the wall and plasmalemma. The results indicated that the organelles, such as Golgi bodies together with small vesicles, rough endoplasmic reticulum and lomasomes, played the key role in the thickening and lignification of the secondary wall of bamboo fiber, though cortical microtubules were correlative with the process as well.     

野皂荚对NaCl胁迫的生理响应及耐盐性

以盆栽野皂荚2年生实生苗为材料,设置土壤NaCl含量分别为0.053%（CK）、0.15%、0.3%、0.45%和0.6%的盐胁迫处理,研究不同浓度盐处理对苗木生长、细胞膜透性、细胞保护酶活性以及Na⁺和K⁺分布格局的影响,探讨了其耐盐阈值和机理.结果表明：随着NaCl浓度增加,苗木生长量逐渐降低,盐害指数逐渐升高;野皂荚可忍耐的土壤含盐量为0.42%.随着NaCl浓度增加,叶片相对电导率、氧自由基产生速率和丙二醛(MDA)含量均逐渐增大;超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性呈先上升后下降的变化趋势,在土壤含盐量0.3%或0.45%时达到峰值;高盐胁迫下,SOD、POD和CAT活性的增强可及时清除盐胁迫产生的氧自由基,进而缓解或避免膜脂过氧化作用对组织细胞的伤害.盐胁迫下根、茎、叶的Na⁺含量均逐渐增大,且呈现根>叶>茎的分布格局;K⁺含量和K⁺/Na⁺呈下降趋势,呈现叶>根>茎的分布格局;K⁺-Na⁺选择性运输系数(S_K⁺·Na⁺)随着土壤含盐量的增加逐渐升高,且叶S_K⁺·Na⁺高于茎S_K⁺·Na⁺.野皂荚耐盐机制是根系拒盐和叶片耐盐;盐胁迫下,根系Na⁺累积能力增强可控制Na⁺向地上运输以避免盐害发生,叶片K⁺选择性吸收和累积能力的显著提高可忍耐和补偿Na⁺对组织的伤害.     

福建三明米槠次生林在不同更新方式下的初期细根产量

福建三明米槠次生林皆伐后形成人促更新幼林(AR)与米槠人工幼林(CC)、杉木人工幼林(CL),以保留的米槠次生林(CK)为对照,利用微根管法比较不同更新方式初期细根(直径≤2 mm)生物量和生产力的差异.结果表明： 1年内,AR、CC、CL和CK细根的年均生物量分别为422.5、253.1、197.2和162.8 g·m^-2.4种林分细根总生产力大小为：AR (284.0 g·m^-2·a^-1)＞CC (182.6 g·m^-2·a^-1)＞CL (136.7 g·m^-2·a^-1)＞CK (15.4 g·m^-2·a^-1).AR和CC春季生产力最大,CL秋季最大,CK冬季最大.CC表现为其他植物细根生产力多于目标树种,CL表现为目标树种细根生产力多于其他植物.AR和CC总细根的月生产力与各月降水量呈显著正相关,CL的其他植物细根月生产力与月均气温呈显著正相关.3种更新方式下幼林细根的年生产力和年均生物量都以20～40 cm土层最大,且以0～1 mm细根占主体.采用人促更新方式的幼林细根生物量和生产力大于人工更新方式的幼林,人促更新方式更有利于增加林地有机物归还、提高土壤肥力、维持较高生产力和降低更新初期林地碳源.     

野慈姑花粉限制评估的影响因素

以野慈姑为材料,研究补充授粉的处理水平(单花、花序)和花粉质量(自花花粉、异花花粉)对花粉限制评估的影响.结果表明: 补充授粉的处理水平会造成花粉限制的程度不同(P=0.0021),单花水平的授粉会导致花朵之间的资源重新分配,从而影响结实;补充授粉的花粉质量会对结实造成影响,补充异花花粉比自花花粉能产生更多的种子(P=0.0497),且萌芽率更高(P=0.0428),表明该体系的花粉限制不是数量的限制,而是优质花粉的限制.不同的试验水平和花粉质量可能对花粉限制的评估造成影响,相关研究应尽量对整个花序或者植株进行补充授粉,材料允许时还应考虑自异花粉的对比试验,有利于更客观地认识和检测花粉限制.
