A new species of Lathyrus L. (Fabaceae) from Central Apennine (Italy)

Abstract

Lathyrus apenninus, from beech woods margins and scrub in the Central Apennine (Italy), is described as a species new to science. The relationship of L. apenninus with L. linifolius, which it had been confused with, is briefly discussed.     

萝卜（Raphanus sativus L.）种质莱菔子素含量分析与评价

莱菔子素是由萝卜中萝卜甙水解形成的一种异硫氰酸酯类物质,在植物抗性和人类抗癌方面具有重要作用。本试验利用优化的HPLC检测方法测定了93份萝卜种质肉质根的莱菔子素含量,分析了不同来源地和不同类型萝卜种质莱菔子素含量分布。试验发现不同萝卜种质莱菔子素含量存在显著差异,其含量分布范围为34.445～1446.9 mg/kg﹒DW,最高含量约是最低含量的42倍;红皮白肉和绿皮白肉类型的萝卜种质莱菔子素平均含量较高,华东地区的萝卜种质莱菔子素平均含量显著高于其它来源地的萝卜种质。试验初步获得莱菔子素含量较高的萝卜种质2份,为进一步试验研究提供了良好的材料。     

Efficacy of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on controlling the root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne javanica) infection and promoting cucumber growth and yield under laboratory and field conditions

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a promising plant growth-promoting yeast for different crops. Applicability of S. cerevisiae as a biocontrol agent of the root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne javanica) was investigated on cucumber under growth-room and field conditions. The yeast S. cerevisiae similar to the nematicide, Ethoprophos, when applied as a rhizospheric soil drench treatment led to an obvious reduction of root galling caused by M. javanica and resulted in reducing the nematode reproduction ability on cucumber under growth room and field conditions. The yeast was more effective at 10 than at 5?g/l. Furthermore, the application of S. cerevisiae resulted in improving cucumber plant growth and increasing its fruit yield. High content of total phenolics in cucumber roots of S. cerevisiae-treated plants and hydrogen peroxide-treated plants gives a clue on the ability of the yeast to induced plant resistance in a similar way to exogenous hydrogen peroxide.     

Signaling role of nitric oxide in the induction of plant defense by exogenous application of abiotic inducers

The objective of this work was to search out the probable molecule behind the activation of broad spectrum resistance during abiotic elicitors such as arachidonic acid, cupric chloride, chitosan, isonicotinic acid and salicylic acid mediated induced systemic resistance (ISR) in Raphanus sativus L. The elicitor compounds were sprayed on the radish leaves of healthy plant and after 24 h incubation a significant increase of β-1,3 glucanase, peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase and phenolics as well as a remarkable increase of nitric oxide (NO), a probable potent defense-signaling molecule in plant, was observed. Furthermore, treatment of the host with NO donor, sodium nitroprusside, also induced the same defense molecules. The results suggests that NO might be the signaling molecule during abiotic elicitor mediated ISR induction in the host system.     

山黧豆抗逆性研究进展

山黧豆是一种栽培历史悠久、种植广泛的豆科作物,具有很高的蛋白质含量和极强的耐旱能力,因而成为一些干旱、贫困和人口众多地区的主要饲料和粮食作物,且被考虑作为可持续发展农业的模式作物。随着人类对粮食、蛋白质和新型食物资源需求的日益增长,山黧豆的研究引起了世界各国学者的重视。该文对国内外近年来有关山黧豆在干旱、盐、重金属及生物胁迫下抗逆性方面的研究进展作了概述,同时简要介绍了山黧豆与干旱相适应的形态特征,并对亟需重点研究的几个方向作了展望。     

不同萝卜品种游离小孢子的诱导及培养体系优化研究

以19个萝卜品种为试验材料,研究各种因素对萝卜游离小孢子培养的影响.结果表明:(1)13个品种可诱导出胚状体,诱导率达到68.4%,但不同品种间产胚量存在较大差异,其中路路通翠雪产胚量可达每蕾10个,而圆白萝卜的产胚量最小为每蕾0.125个,进一步培养有8个品种得到再生植株;(2)在NLN-13液体培养基中添加活性炭和6-BA对萝卜游离小孢子出胚有较好的促进作用,小孢子分离30d后将胚状体转移至固体MS培养基上,子叶型胚可获得大量的再生植株,而畸形胚状体转移后不能获得正常的再生植株.     

Ca2+对根际低氧胁迫下黄瓜幼苗生长和叶片荧光特性的影响

采用营养液栽培,以根际低氧耐性不同的2个黄瓜品种为试验材料,研究了Ca2 对根际低氧胁迫下黄瓜幼苗生长和叶片荧光特性的影响。结果表明:(1)根际低氧胁迫下,黄瓜植株根长、根表面积和根尖数减少,但根径有所增大;叶片干重、鲜重和叶面积显著减小,提高营养液钙浓度可使植株叶片干、鲜重和叶面积得到部分恢复。(2)根际低氧胁迫下,叶片光合色素含量降低,提高营养液钙浓度对色素含量无明显影响。(3)根际低氧胁迫下,常钙和高钙处理黄瓜叶片Fv/Fm与通气常钙(CK)无显著差异,但低氧缺钙处理的Fv/Fm显著降低;与通气常钙相比,根际低氧胁迫处理的光化学猝灭(qP)减小、非光化学猝灭(qN)增大、光合功能相对限制值(L(PFD))升高,提高营养液钙浓度可使qP和qN恢复至近对照水平,而使L(PFD)低于对照,且‘绿霸春四号’黄瓜品种表现得更为突出;根际低氧胁迫下,光化学速率(Prate)减小,天线热耗散速率(Drate)都随钙浓度升高而降低。总之,根际低氧胁迫下黄瓜幼苗生长被显著抑制,PSⅡ反应中心受到一定程度的破坏,提高钙浓度可使PSII反应中心恢复至接近甚至高于通气对照的水平,从而有效缓解根际低氧胁迫对黄瓜幼苗造成的伤害。     

NaCl胁迫对黄瓜幼苗体内K+、Na+和Cl-分布的影响

采用营养液水培,以2个耐盐性不同的黄瓜品种为材料,研究了不同浓度NaCl处理下幼苗植株体内K 、Na 和Cl-在器官间的区域化分布及其吸收和运输特性的变化。结果表明:NaCl胁迫下,黄瓜植株体内K 含量下降,Na 和Cl-含量升高,变化幅度随NaCl浓度的升高而增大;不同器官间,茎中Na 和Cl-含量最高,上位叶中Na 和Cl-含量最低、K 含量下降幅度最小。与耐盐性较弱的“津春2号”相比,耐盐性较强的“长春密刺”根向茎运输的SK,Na值较高,根系对Na 的截留作用较强,茎向上位叶运输的SK,Na和SCl,Na值均较高,叶片中K 含量下降幅度较小,K/Na和Cl/Na比值均较高,功能叶中盐分离子尤其是Na 积累较少,植株生物量较高。说明根系对Na 的截留能力较强且向上位叶运输Na 的选择性较低,是“长春密刺”耐盐性较强的主要原因之一。
