刈割对冬小麦再生积温需求及其籽粒产量和品质的影响

对黄土高原塬区冬小麦‘陇育216’于分蘖期、拔节期及孕穗期进行刈割处理,以不刈割为对照,测定冬小麦再生生长发育的积温需求及籽粒产量及其品质,探究刈割利用时间对冬小麦再生生长积温需求及产量构成的影响。结果表明:(1)分蘖中期(6个分蘖)前刈割利用,小麦再生各阶段的有效积温需求较对照无显著差异,在收获小麦青干草0.9～1.5t/hm2的同时,能保证籽粒、秸秆产量及其品质较对照均无显著下降;分蘖期后期(9个分蘖)及其后刈割利用,拔节至开花及成熟期的有效积温需求显著减少,尽管较分蘖期可多收获60%的青干草,但籽粒、秸秆产量较对照均显著降低。(2)通径分析发现,刈割主要通过降低再生植株高度及减少单位面积穗数而导致冬小麦籽粒减产。研究表明,为维持冬小麦再生生长节律、籽粒产量及品质形成的稳定,冬小麦刈割利用的时期应不迟于分蘖中期(6个分蘖)。

EFFECTOR OF TRANSCRIPTION2 is involved in xylem differentiation and includes a functional DNA single strand cutting domain

EFFECTORS OF TRANSCRIPTION2 (ET) are plant-specific regulatory proteins characterized by the presence of two to five C-terminal DNA- and Zn-binding repeats, and a highly conserved cysteine pattern. We describe the structural characterization of the three member Arabidopsis thalianaET gene family and reveal some allelic sequence polymorphisms. A mutation analysis showed that AtET2 affects the expression of various KNAT genes involved in the maintenance of the undifferentiated state of cambial meristem cells. It also plays a role in the regulation of GA5 (gibberellin 3-beta-dioxygenase) and the cell-cycle-related GASA4. A correlation was established between AtET2 expression and the cellular differentiation state. AtET-GFP fusion proteins shuttle between the cytoplasm and nucleus, with the AtET2 product prevented from entering the nucleus in non-differentiating cells. Within the nucleus, AtET2 probably acts via a single strand cutting domain. A more general regulatory role for ET factors is proposed, governing cell differentiation in cambial meristems, a crucial process for the development of plant vascular tissues.     

Assessing the value of secondary forest for amphibians: <Emphasis Type="Italic">Eleutherodactylus</Emphasis> frogs in a gradient of forest alteration

Secondary forests constitute a growing portion of forested areas worldwide. They might have a substantial role for the conservation of biodiversity in tropical areas, but there is little information on their potential to support forest species and the recovery of faunal communities. We studied two forest frogs (Eleutherodactylus diastema and E. fitzingeri) in an area of Costa Rica composed of a mosaic of primary forest, young secondary forest and pasture, and we compared the density of calling males in areas with different forest alteration. Autoregressive models were used to compensate for potentially undesired effects of spatial autocorrelation and pseudoreplication. Both species were most abundant in riparian, primary forest. However, E. fitzingeri was also abundant in riparian secondary forests, and its density far from the river was similar in primary and secondary forest, suggesting that river proximity can influence the recovery of secondary forest for amphibians. Conversely, the density of E. diastema was similar in secondary forest and pasture, stressing interspecific differences for recovery rate. These frogs have a keystone role in nutrient cycling and food webs, and their prompt recovery might represent an important step for the functional recovery of forests. Nevertheless, the strong interspecific differences stress the complexity of these processes.     

The role of “forensic” dendrochronology in the conservation of alerce (Fitzroya cupressoides ((Molina) Johnston)) forests in Chile

Dendrochronological techniques have proved to be an effective tool in the investigation of illegal cutting of Fitzroya because it is illegal to trade and cut wood coming from living individuals or from trees that were killed after 1976 either by natural or anthropogenic causes. Accurate cross-dating of death or burn dates provides strong evidence for prosecution in the legal enforcement of the ban and an important defense in the protection of this and other endangered species. Some examples illustrate the application of these dating techniques and discuss potential difficulties.     

Effects of restoration measures on plant communities of wet heathland ecosystems

Question: Which are the success and failure of restoration measures, particularly sod‐cutting and hydrological measures, in small wetlands on mineral soils in The Netherlands. Location: Twente, in the eastern part of The Netherlands. Methods: Success or failure of restoration measures has been assessed by comparing experimental plots with that in reference plots for (1) species richness, (2) re‐establishment of endangered species and (3) species composition, including life forms and Red List species. In total 119 samples were taken in 42 permanent plots in fen meadows, small‐sedge marshes, wet heathlands, and soft‐water pools. Topsoil samples were analysed for pH, Ca, Mg, Na, K and Cation Exchange Capacity. Gradient analysis was carried out by means of Canonical Correspondence Analysis. Results: Sod‐cutting, in combination with re‐wetting measures (infilling of ditches and drains), led to restoration of communities of soft‐water pools and small sedge marshes within five years. This rapid recovery is probably related to the presence of persistent seed banks of the component species of these communities. Complete restoration of fen meadows took longer (10–15 yr). Apparently, many species of fen meadows have short‐lived seed banks. Sod‐cutting of a degraded wet heathland and a soft‐water pool was only successful temporarily, probably as a consequence of low water tables. Conclusions: To prevent depletion of (persistent) soil seed banks, sod‐cutting in nutrient‐poor wetlands is not recommended in areas where the groundwater regime and the base status of the soil can not be restored to levels required by plant communities of wet heathlands.     

刈割对紫花苜蓿根系生长影响的初步分析

研究了不同刈割次数对紫花苜蓿根系发育能力的影响。结果表明：刈割抑制紫花苜蓿主根的纵向(垂直)生长,而促进其横向(直径)生长,并使紫花苜蓿侧根发生总数减少和垂直分布的总体格局向表层集中,随着刈割次数的增加,侧根集中分布在土壤表层的比例也增加;刈割使根系生物量和体积总量减少,并随着刈割次数的增加,这种减少趋势更加明显,同时在土壤中的垂直分布变浅。
