土壤紧实胁迫对黄瓜根系生长及氮代谢的影响

用容重分别为1.25 g·cm-3(疏松土壤,对照)和1.55 g·cm-3(紧实土壤)的土壤进行盆栽试验,研究了土壤紧实胁迫对‘津春4号’黄瓜不同生育期根系生长、呼吸速率、活力及氮代谢的影响.结果表明:在土壤紧实胁迫条件下,黄瓜不同生育期根系总长度、表面积、分根数和根尖数均显著下降,根系的伸长生长及侧根的发生受到显著抑制,而根系的加粗生长得到激发,平均直径显著增加;根系活力和根系呼吸速率显著下降;根系中的NO3-、游离氨基酸和可溶性蛋白含量大幅下降,硝酸还原酶、谷氨酰胺合成酶和谷氨酸合酶活性显著降低,NH4+含量显著增加.说明在土壤紧实胁迫条件下黄瓜根系对硝态氮的吸收量减少,氨同化作用受到抑制,氮代谢显著受阻.

外源硝态氮水平对长春花生理代谢的影响

以长春花为实验材料,采用珍珠岩为培养基质,设置不同氮素浓度,对其各器官的初生和次生代谢进行了初步研究,结果如下:植株中3种主要生物碱含量均是随着外源氮水平的降低而降低,外源硝态氮水平对长春花文朵灵和长春质碱在不同叶位叶片中的积累特点影响较明显,而对长春碱的积累影响较小。在高氮条件下,植物体内合成和积累较高水平的游离氨基酸,可能为部分生物碱的合成提供了骨架,并能促进生物碱含量的提高。蔗糖含量在不同叶位叶片中也是随着叶龄的增加而缓慢增加。同时,高氮水平下,叶片中蔗糖含量明显高于正常供氮水平下的含量。本研究为提高长春花中具有重要药用价值生物碱的含量提供参考依据。     

好氧反硝化微生物学机理与应用研究进展

近年来,关于好氧反硝化过程的研究主要集中在三个方面:分别是好氧反硝化菌株的分离和脱氮性能表征,好氧反硝化微生物的应用潜力分析,以及好氧反硝化过程的机理研究。好氧反硝化菌株分布范围广泛,可从多种环境中分离得到,种属以Pseudomonas sp.、Alcaligenes sp.和Paracoccus sp.为主。好氧反硝化菌株及菌群在实验室条件下表现出优良的耐冷、耐盐特性,并具有可降解毒性有机物及N_2O减排的潜力。关于好氧反硝化过程的机理研究表明,虽然硝酸盐作为电子受体的竞争力比氧气弱,但反硝化作为辅助电子传递途径,可提高产能效率,防止NAD(P)H的过量积累。因此,硝酸盐可与氧气同时参与微生物的新陈代谢,即发生好氧反硝化现象。未来除了继续分离更新更好的好氧反硝化菌株外,应加强对好氧反硝化机理及实际生物强化方面的研究。     

Effects of nitrogen addition on leaf traits of common species in natural Pinus tabuliformis forests in Taiyue Mountain,Shanxi Province,China

Aims Our objectives were to explore the effects of simulated nitrogen deposition on leaf traits and ecological stoichiometry characteristics of common species in natural Pinus tabuliformis forests.
Methods We conducted the experiment of nitrogen (N) addition from 2009 to 2013 in the natural Pinus tabuliformis forests in Taiyue Mountain, Shanxi, China. The levels of N addition were 0 (control), 50 (low-N), 100 (medium-N) and 150 (high-N) kg·hm^-2·a^-1, respectively. Eleven common plant species in 12 20 m × 20 m plots were selected, including Pinus tabuliformis, Quercus mongolica, Acer ginnala, Corylus mandshurica, Cornus bretschneideri, Spiraea salicifolia, Lonicera maackii, Carex callitrichos, Diarrhena mandshurica, Anemone tomentosa, and Polygonatum odoratum. Nine leaf traits were measured, including leaf thickness (LT), specific leaf area (SLA), leaf dry matter content (LDMC), leaf nitrogen content (LNC), leaf phosphorus content (LPC), and other four.
Important findings We found that: 1) LT and SLA of Polygonatum odoratum significantly differed among four levels of N addition. Leaf area (LA) and LDMC of several species, such as Spiraea salicifolia, had significant difference among the N addition concentration. LNC of all species, chlorophyll content (CC) and LPC of most species increased significantly with the addition of N. Leaf N:P of 9 species varied significantly, and leaves with different types and ages showed different responses to N addition. 2) Leaf traits were significantly correlated with each other. For instance, SLA was significantly positively correlated with LNC and LPC. In contrast LT was negatively connected with LNC and LPC. In addition, the degree of correlation changed with the level of N addition. 3) The pattern of species distribution in leaf trait space was consistent with the prediction from the theory of Leaf Economic Spectrum (LES). N addition drove species moving along axis 1 in the trait space, and propelled them towards different directions along axis 2, which indicated that these species tended to take the “fast investment-return” strategy. These results suggested that with the change of environmental conditions, plants changed their survival strategy and adjusted resource allocation to maintain the stability of communities. This is the inherent characteristic of plants, thus the formation of LES did not depend on the environment change.     

Effects of simulated nitrogen deposition on fine root morphology,nitrogen and phosphorus efficiency of Pinus massoniana clone under phosphorus deficiency

Aims In forest ecosystems with phosphorus (P) deficiency, the impact of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition on nutritional traits related to N and P uptake potentially affect plant growth and vegetation productivity. The objective of this study was to explore the effects of simulated N deposition on fine root morphological characteristics and effiency of N and P absorption in Pinus massoniana under under low P stress.
Methods Two clones of P. massoniana seedling with different P efficiency (high P efficiency 19-5 vs. low P efficiency 21-3) were used. A two-year pot experiment was applyed with treatments of two P conditions, (i.e. homogeneous low P availability vs. heterogeneous low P availability) and three N deposition levels (0, 30 and 120 kg N·hm^-2·a^-1; i.e., N0, N30, or N120, respectively) .
Important findings 1) The growth of P. massoniana seedling was interactively affected the three factors: simulated N deposition, P condition and genotypes. Simulated N deposition increased the seedling height and dry mass under heterogeneous P deficiency, but did not significantly affect those traits under homogeneous P deficiency. Under heterogeneous P deficiency and N120 treatment, the seedling height and dry mass of clone 19-5 were 1.1 times and 1.6 times higher than that of clone 21-3, respectively. 2) Fine root length and surface area decreased as root diameter increased. N deposition significantly stimulated proliferation of fine root with diameter ≤1.5 mm, while roots with diameters ranged from 1.5 to 2.0 mm and over 2.0 mm were not influenced. The length of fine root ≤1.5 mm in diameter accounted for 90.4%-92.8% of the total root length and was not affected by N deposition. 3) Under the heterogeneous low P condition, clone 19-5 was found to respond to the simulated N deposition with increased root length and surface area in fine-root diameter class of ≤1.5 mm. Additionally, in compared with control, its N and P absorption efficiency were significantly enhanced 93.3% and 148.4%, respectively under N120 treatment. However, the N and P absorption efficiency of clone 21-3 was less affected by the simulated N deposition. The N and P use efficiency had no notable variation. Finally, we found that the proliferation of fine-root ≤1.5 mm in diameter and high N (P) absorption efficiency maybe the adaptive mechanisms of P. massoniana responding to atmospheric N deposition under P deficiency.     

不同林龄杉木氮素的获取策略

为了探讨不同林龄杉木人工林氮素获取策略,选择了江西千烟洲森林生态研究站红壤区的3种林龄杉木人工林(5年生幼龄林、13年生中龄林和30年生成熟林)作为研究对象,利用稳定性同位素~(15)N示踪技术研究了它们的氮素吸收策略。结果表明,杉木对硝态氮的吸收受林龄影响,成熟林的吸收速率最高,为(5.72±0.24)μg N g~(-1)干重h~(-1),而中龄林和幼龄林的吸收速率相当,分别为(1.57±0.13)μg N g~(-1)干重h~(-1)和(2.36±0.22)μg N g~(-1)干重h~(-1)。幼龄林((34.33±1.20)μg N g~(-1)干重h~(-1))和成熟林((34.18±2.32)μg N g~(-1)干重h~(-1))对铵态氮的吸收速率相似,均显著高于中龄林((23.33±1.39)μg N g~(-1)干重h~(-1))。杉木对甘氨酸的吸收不受林龄的影响。3种年龄的杉木均对铵态氮表现出强的获取能力,其中成熟林杉木对硝态氮的获取能力明显弱于对铵态氮的获取,但却强于对甘氨酸的获取。这样的结果反映了林龄能影响杉木人工林对无机氮的吸收,但未影响对有机氮的吸收;杉木偏好吸收铵态氮,对硝态氮和甘氨酸的吸收很少。如果能把氮素形态考虑进对杉木人工林的施肥管理当中,那么可能会极大地改善杉木的生产力。

从养殖场污泥中筛选出菌株YP4,经16S rDNA分子发育树的同源序列比对,确定为克雷伯什菌属(Klebsiella sp.)。由NCBI数据库查编码亚硝酸还原酶(Nir)的基因nirS序列,设计引物,以铜绿假单胞菌PAOI基因组DNA为模板,应用PCR技术扩增目的片段nirS,经过双酶切、克隆和转化,得到重组质粒pYP4S,然后转化野生菌株YP4,构建反硝化基因工程菌YP4S。菌株生长曲线测定表明,工程菌株YP4S与YP4的生长特性基本一致。工程菌株YP4S对模拟污水COD、TN、NH_4^+-N和NO_3^--N具有较高的去除率,YP4S与YP4相比,对NO_2^--N积累的减少量为(32.44±3.96)%,明显减少了NO_2^--N的积累。通过正交试验获得工程菌株YP4S在C/N=10、T=30℃、r=200 r/min和pH=7.0的最佳组合条件下,对模拟污水TN去除率较高。应用工程菌株YP4S处理猪场沉淀池的实际污水,COD、TN、TP、NH_4^+-N和NO_3^--N去除率分别为(95.87±0.82)%、(76.38±3.84)%、(97.13±0.54)%和(75.35±2.57)%,NO_2^--N积累量为(3.31±1.24) mg/L,表明工程菌株YP4S具有较好反硝化作用,对含氮量高的实际污水修复具有潜在的应用前景。     

氮添加和水分胁迫对红松、水曲柳幼苗生物量分配的影响

氮沉降和暖干化是我国东北地区面临的主要生态问题,它将对森林生态系统产生怎样的影响一直是生态学研究的热点.本研究以东北温带阔叶红松林中2个关键树种——红松和水曲柳为研究对象,探讨水分胁迫和氮(N)添加对其幼苗短期(55周)生长的影响.结果表明: 红松与水曲柳幼苗生长对N添加和水分胁迫的响应有明显差异.红松对水分胁迫更加敏感,在处理早期(10周)水分胁迫降低了红松幼苗叶生物量,提高了根生物量;N添加只在水分胁迫发生时显著减少了红松根和植株总生物量.水曲柳对N添加的反应更加敏感,氮添加迅速增加了水曲柳茎、根和总生物量;而只有持续的水分胁迫才对水曲柳的茎、根和总生物量有显著影响.红松和水曲柳在持续水分胁迫和N添加处理下,叶、根生物量占比和地上、地下生物量之比都趋于维持一个稳定值,说明两个树种都有很强的自我调节能力.以上结果说明,在未来干旱条件下,红松采取的是“积极”的调整策略,而水曲柳则是“被动”的适应策略,因而相比较而言,红松存活和适应能力可能更强;而在N沉降增加的环境下,水曲柳受益会更大.这些结果可为预测未来东北温带森林群落演替动态提供参考.
