Fractal root system of Melica przewalskyi along different aspect in degraded grassland

Aims Fractal root system is phenotypic plasticity result of plant root architecture to respond to environmental heterogeneity, may reflect the growth strategy of plants to adapt to environmental conditions. Our objective was to explore the relationship between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance of fractal root system of Melica przewalskyi population in response to aspect variation in the northwest of China. Methods The study site was located in a degraded alpine grassland on the northern slope in Qilian Mountains, Gansu Province, China. Survey and sampling were carried out at 40 plots which were set up along four slope aspects transects with 20 m distance between adjacent plots. Handheld GPS was used to determine the elevation, longitude and latitude of each plot. ArcGIS was used to set up digital elevation model (DEM). Community traits were investigated and six individuals roots of M. przewalskyi were collected randomly at each plot. The samples were cleaned and divided into different organs, then scanning the root with the Win-RHIZO for measurements of fractal dimension and fractal abundance in laboratory, and their biomass were then measured after being dried at 80 °C in an oven. Important findings With the slope aspect turned from north to east, west, and south, the density, height and soil moisture content of the plant community displayed a pattern of initial decline, the height, density, root fractal abundance of M. przewalskyi increased and the root fractal dimension decreased. The root fractal dimension was negatively associated with the fractal abundance in all aspects, but the relationship varied along the slope aspects gradient; there was a highly significant negative correlation (p < 0.01) between the root fractal dimension and fractal abundance at north slope and south slope aspect, whereas the correlation only reached a significant level (p < 0.05) at the east slope aspect and west slope aspect; indicating that there is a trade-off between the root fractal dimension and fractal abundance. In addition, when the slope aspect changed from north to east, west and south, the standardized major axis (SMA) slope of the regression equation in the scaling relationships between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance increased (p < 0.05), indicating that the roots of M. przewalskyi at the droughty southern slope have less branch and more sparse in the same soil volume of root exploitation and utilization. Consequently, the resource allocation pattern on reasonable trade-off between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance in different slope aspect of M. przewalskyi, reflects the relationship between the income and the cost of construction of plant root architecture.     

湖北兴山古洞口下奥陶统几丁虫

系统分析兴山古洞口下奥陶统,包括南津关组、分乡组、红花园组及大湾组底部的几丁虫微体生物化石。鉴定几丁虫5属14种,含早奥陶世特征种Eremochitina baculata,早中奥陶世常见种Conochitina decipiens,以及华南上扬子区早奥陶世常见属种Euconochitina fenxiangensis和Lagenochitina chongqingensis。E.baculata是北冈瓦纳地区弗洛早中期的特征带化石,本文的材料为该种在华南的首次确切报道,且产出层位略低,为特马豆克期。在华南,常见于特马豆克晚期的带化石Euconochitina symmetrica在该剖面的同时段地层中暂未被发现,但形态上与之高度相似的Euconochitina fenxiangensis在该时段大量出现。比较以往发表的数据后发现,E.fenxiangensis在华南的分布广泛且产出层位较为稳定,较之E.symmetrica更易获得,或可将其作为特马豆克晚期至弗洛初期区域内地层对比的一个有效卡尺。     

新疆绿蟾蜍的染色体组型初步研究

近年来,有关两栖类的染色体组型已有不少报道。无尾两栖类中蜍蟾属(Bufo)的染色体数目分为两类:2n=22和2n=20(Blain,1972)。我们对采自新疆4个地区的绿蟾蜍进行了染色体组型分析,发现其二倍体细胞染色体数均为44,是四倍体。现将我们的初步研究报道如下。

河南淅川始新世核桃园组兔类化石

这里记述了河南淅川核桃园组中两种始新世兔类:石皮沟壮兔 (Strenulagus shipigouensis gen. et sp. nov.) 和丹江卢氏兔 (Lushilagus danjiangensis sp. ov.).从这些原始兔类标本上似可证实:上前臼齿和臼齿的中央主尖分别相当于前尖(或并尖)和后尖;两者的舌侧沟(次沟)似乎不同源.兔类上臼齿上的外凹、釉质圆环和舌侧沟的出现,是与三角座和跟座之间沟的形变密切相关.

红豆草根瘤侵染细胞的超微结构变化

红豆草(Onobrychis viciaefolia Scop.)是一种抗旱、耐寒、耐热和耐瘠薄的优良豆科牧草,不仅是很好的饲料和绿肥,而且还能大量结瘤固氮,提高土地肥力。因此,它在我国甘肃和其他北方干旱和半干旱贫瘠地区广为种植。虽然不少学者曾对它的引种条件、生产性能、营养成分和形态解剖作过许多研究,但对其共生固氮,特别是与共生固氮息息相关的根瘤在发育中的变化却至今尚无系统报道。因此,为了更好开发利用这一资源,
