Biomass estimation models and allocation patterns of 14 shrub species in Mountain Luya,Shanxi, China

Aims Shrub species have evolved specific strategies to regulate biomass allocation among various organs or between above- and belowground biomass and shrub biomass model is an important approach to estimate biomass allocation among different shrub species. This study was designed to establish the optimal estimation models for each organ (leaf, stem, and root), aboveground and total biomass of 14 common shrub species in Mountain Luya, Shanxi Province, China. Furthermore, we explored biomass allocation characteristics of these shrub species by using the index of leaf biomass fraction (leaf to total biomass), stem biomass fraction (stem to total biomass), root biomass fraction (root to total biomass), and root to shoot mass ratio (R/S) (belowground to aboveground biomass).
Methods We used plant height, basal diameter, canopy diameter and their combination as variables to establish the optimal biomass estimation models for each shrub species. In addition, we used the ratios of leaf, stem, root to total biomass, and belowground to aboveground biomass to explore the difference of biomass allocation patterns of 14 shrub species.
Important findings Most of biomass estimation models could be well expressed by the exponential and linear functions. Biomass for shorter shrub species with more stems could be better estimated by canopy area; biomass for taller shrub species with less stems could be better estimated by the sum of the square of total base diameter multiply stem height; and biomass for the rest shrub species could be better estimated by canopy volume. The averaged value for these shrub species was 0.61, 0.17, 0.48, and 0.35 for R/S, leaf biomass fraction, stem biomass fraction, and root biomass fraction, respectively. Except for leaf biomass fraction, R/S, stem biomass fraction, and root biomass fraction for shrubs with thorn was significantly greater than that for shrubs without thorn.     

小麦不同发育时期花药的花粉白苗分化初探（简报）

花粉白苗的研究,以水稻为材料的较多,且大多研究培养基成分、培养温度、培养材料等对白苗分化的影响、花粉白苗的亚显微结构及遗传生化分析等。但就花粉白苗的成因问题目前仍不清楚。我们对小麦不同小孢子发育时期的花药分别培养,初步探讨了花粉白苗分化与小孢子发育时期之间的关系。

利用末端重叠ＰＣＲ法和定点突变技术，获得了去除Ｎ－连接多糖结构的乙肝表面抗原Ｓ突变基因，将乙肝表面抗原Ｓ－蛋白中结合Ｎ－连多糖结构序列Ａｓｎ－Ｘ－Ｔｈｒ中的第１４８苏氨酸的密码子ＡＣＴ，改变为编码甘氨酸的密码子ＧＧＴ。构建了该突变基因的表达载体并在ＣＨＯ细胞中表达，筛选到两株表达水平较高的细胞系。对其中的一株细胞系Ｃ４１的表达产物做了初步纯化和鉴定，纯化样品经ＳＤＳ－ＰＡＧＥ电泳分析，只含有２３ｋ     

非生物胁迫影响水稻颖花育性机理的研究进展

本文从颖花发育的形态学和生理学角度,综述了水稻穗分化期至抽穗开花期非生物胁迫导致颖花不育的机理,旨在揭示非生物胁迫导致水稻颖花败育的关键过程及其内在联系.颖花是否可育主要与绒毡层细胞行为、花药开裂与散粉、花粉萌发、受精4个关键过程有关,胁迫通过影响这些关键过程,导致颖花不育.花药发育早期异常变化影响生殖细胞发育与授粉作用.可以通过喷施外源物质或增施硅肥等方法减缓非生物胁迫对颖花育性的伤害.今后需要加强交叉胁迫对颖花育性的影响、不同胁迫对花器官形态结构和生理特性的影响、不同水稻品种对胁迫的响应差异,以及胁迫影响花器官发育的分子生物学机制等方面的研究.     

黄土高原不同土壤质地农田土壤碳、氮、磷及团聚体分布特征

结合野外观测和室内分析,研究了黄土高原不同土壤质地农田土壤碳、氮、磷含量及其生态计量学特征,以及土壤团聚体分布状况,以揭示土壤质地对区域农田土壤肥力的影响,以及土壤团聚体对肥力的调控作用.结果表明: 黄土高原农田土壤大团聚体含量、主要养分含量及其生态计量比值均随土壤质地由细变粗(壤质黏土→黏壤土→砂质壤土)逐渐降低;土壤pH值和微团聚体含量则呈现出相反的变化趋势. 随土壤黏粒含量增加,大团聚体含量、有机碳、全氮和全磷含量,以及C/P和N/P显著增加,土壤pH和微团聚体含量显著降低. 土壤有机碳、全氮和全磷含量,以及C/P和N/P随大团聚体含量的增加显著增加.表明区域尺度上农田土壤肥力状况取决于土壤质地,并受土壤大团聚体的调节.
