A research facility is described for the integrated study of soil-root-shoot-atmosphere relationships in crops. The Wageningen Rhizolab has been in use since 1990, and consists of two rows, each with eight below-ground compartments aligned along a corridor. A rain shelter automatically covers the experimental area at the start of rainfall. Compartments are 125 cm × 125 cm and 200 cm deep. Each compartment has a separate drip irrigation system. Crop canopy photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration can be measured simultaneously and continuously on four out of eight compartments at a time. Each compartment can be filled with a selected soil material (repacked soil) and is accessible from the corridor over its full depth. Multiple sensors for measuring soil moisture status, electrical conductivity, temperature, soil respiration, trace gases and oxygen are installed in spatial patterns in accordance with the requirements of the experiments. Sensors are connected to control and data-acquisition devices. Likewise, provisions have been made to sample manually the soil solution and soil atmosphere. Root observation tubes (minirhizotrons) are installed horizontally at depth intervals ranging from 5 cm (upper soil layers) to 25 cm (below 1 m). The facility is at present in use to study growth and development of vegetation (crops) in relation to drought, nutrient status, soil-borne diseases, and underground root competition. One important application is the study of elevated CO2 concentration and climate change and the way they affect crops and their carbon economy. Growth and development of field grown vegetables and winter cover crops are also evaluated. The common aspect of those studies is to gain a better understanding of crop growth under varying environmental conditions, and to collect datasets that may help to improve mechanistic crop growth simulation models that can address suboptimal growth conditions. 相似文献

For measuring the length of root samples, the use of a three-dimensional (3D) scanner is proposed to address the problem of a too low resolution. The scanner's high resolution (up to 354 pixels per cm) enables in the resulting grey-value image very thin roots (diameter 100 m) to be segmented from the background by a simple thresholding operation. After skeletonizing, total length of the roots is calculated by multiplying the number of skeleton pixels by a correction factor. A comparison with the modified Newman Line-Intersect Method showed a correlation of r=0.98. Besides its superior resolution, an advantage of this type of scanner is its focusing depth, which allows root samples to be recorded on the scanbed similarly to a camera-oriented system. 相似文献

Despite suggestions that higher serum magnesium (Mg) levels are associated with improved outcome, the association with mortality in European hemodialysis (HD) patients has only scarcely been investigated. Furthermore, data on the association between serum Mg and sudden death in this patient group is limited. Therefore, we evaluated Mg in a post-hoc analysis using pooled data from the CONvective TRAnsport STudy (CONTRAST, NCT00205556), a randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating the survival risk in dialysis patients on hemodiafiltration (HDF) compared to HD with a mean follow-up of 3.1 years. Serum Mg was measured at baseline and 6, 12, 24 and 36 months thereafter. Cox proportional hazards models, adjusted for confounders using inverse probability weighting, were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) of baseline serum Mg on all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, non-cardiovascular mortality and sudden death. A generalized linear mixed model was used to investigate Mg levels over time. Out of 714 randomized patients, a representative subset of 365 (51%) were analyzed in the present study. For every increase in baseline serum Mg of 0.1 mmol/L, the HR for all-cause mortality was 0.85 (95% CI 0.77–94), the HR for cardiovascular mortality 0.73 (95% CI 0.62–0.85) and for sudden death 0.76 (95% CI 0.62–0.93). These findings did not alter after extensive correction for potential confounders, including treatment modality. Importantly, no interaction was found between serum phosphate and serum Mg. Baseline serum Mg was not related to non-cardiovascular mortality. Mg decreased slightly but statistically significant over time (Δ -0.011 mmol/L/year, 95% CI -0.017 to -0.009, p = 0.03). In short, serum Mg has a strong, independent association with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality and sudden death in European HD patients. Serum Mg levels decrease slightly over time. 相似文献

Introduction of sustainable scab resistance in elite apple cultivars is of high importance for apple cultivation when aiming
at reducing the use of chemical crop protectants. Genetic modification (GM) allows the rapid introduction of resistance genes
directly into high quality apple cultivars. Resistance genes can be derived from apple itself but genetic modification also
opens up the possibility to use other, non-host resistance genes. A prerequisite for application is the long-term performance
and stability of the gene annex trait in the field. For this study, we produced and selected a series of transgenic apple
lines of two cultivars, i.e. ‘Elstar’ and ‘Gala’ in which the barley hordothionin gene (hth) was introduced. After multiplication, the GM hth-lines, non-GM susceptible and resistant controls and GM non-hth controls were planted in a random block design in a field trial in 40 replicates. Scab resistance was monitored after artificial
inoculation (first year) and after natural infection (subsequent years). After the trial period, the level of expression of
the hth gene was checked by quantitative RT-PCR. Four of the six GM hth apple lines proved to be significantly less susceptible to apple scab and this trait was found to be stable for the entire
4-year period. Hth expression at the mRNA level was also stable. 相似文献

Apple scab, caused by Venturia inaequalis, is a serious disease of apple. Previously, the scab resistance Rvi15 (Vr2) from the accession GMAL 2473 was genetically mapped, and three candidate resistance genes were identified. Here, we report the cloning and functional characterization of these three genes, named Vr2-A, Vr2-B, and Vr2-C. Each gene was cloned with its native promoter, terminator and introns, and inserted into the susceptible apple cultivar ‘Gala’. Inoculation of the plants containing Vr2-A and Vr2-B induced no resistance symptoms, but abundant sporulation. However, inoculation of the plants harboring Vr2-C showed a hypersensitive response with clear pinpoint pits, and no or very little sporulation. We conclude that Vr2-C is the Rvi15 (Vr2) gene. This gene belongs to the Toll and mammalian interleukin-1 receptor protein nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat structure resistance gene family. The proteins of this gene family reside in the cytoplasm, whereas V. inaequalis develops in the apoplast, between the epidermis and cuticle, without making haustoria. The spatial separation of the recognizing resistance protein and the pathogen is discussed. This is the second cloned gene for apple scab resistance, and out of these two the only one leading to a symplastic protein. 相似文献

The genetics of partial resistance (PR) of lettuce to the leaf aphid species Macrosiphum euphorbiae and Uroleucon sonchi was studied in F1 and F2 generations of six crosses between four cultivars. Partial resistance inherited mainly additively. With M. euphorbiae the estimates of broad-sense F2 heritability were low and non-significant in crosses between parents of the same resistance level (S x S and PR x PR), and high (0.69-0.76) in crosses between parents of different resistance level (PR x S). The level of resistance in lettuce cultivars ‘Charan’ and ‘Marbello’ led to a marked reduction in percentage of plants with colonies of M. euphorbiae in a field experiment. With U. sonchi the highest estimates of F2 heritability were found in ‘Charan x ‘Avoncrisp’ (0.51) and ‘Charan’ x ‘Chou de Naples' (0.48). In the cross ‘Charan’ x ‘Marbello’ (PR x PR) no significant segregation for resistance to M. euphorbiae was found, indicating that these cultivars may have the same genetic constitution for resistance to M. euphorbiae.‘Charan’ has additional genes for resistance to U. sonchi, that are not, or only weakly linked to the gene(s) for resistance to M. euphorbiae. The heritability estimates for the partial resistance to M. euphorbiae and U. sonchi indicate that it is possible to effectively select for these traits in plant breeding programmes. 相似文献

Summary In 1982 and 1983 root samples were taken by auger from potato crops grown on marine clay in the Flevo-Polder. The roots increased
their penetration depth throughout the periods of measurement, and ultimately reached depths between 80 cm and 100 cm below
the hills. Between 50 and 60 days after emergence, decay of roots commenced, starting in the upper horizons. In the hill mean
root length densities varied between 1 and 2 cm cm−3. Below the hills root density rarely exceeded 1 cm cm−3. The random variation in root density was equivalent to a coefficient of variation of 50%. There were significant effects
of the position of sampling (relative to the centre of the plant) on root density; densities were usually lowest beneath the
furrow. Depending on season and sampling date, total root length varied between 3.4 and 7.1 km m−2, and root dry mass varied between 33 and 77 g m−2. Representative figures for specific root length were 100–120 m g−1 dry weight. About 90% of the root diameters were smaller than 0.44 mm; the most frequent class (35%) were roots with diameters
between 0.12 and 0.20 mm. 相似文献
