The survivorships and growth rates ofPlanorbarius corneus andPlanorbis planorbis were measured during the whole life spanof the snails at constant temperatures of 5, 10, 15, 20 and25°C. Life expectancy tables were constructed. The maximumlongevities for P. corneus (231 weeks) and P. planorbis (175weeks) occurred at 15°C and 10°C respectively. The extremetemperatures were particularly unfavourable. Snail growth which was expressed logarithmically was most sensitiveto temperature during the exponential stage. However, if weconsider a given species duringjts entire life span, there wereno significant differences between temperature groups whichwere in order of decreasing suitability: P. corneus: 25, 20 and 15°C; 10°C; 5°C; P.planorbis: 20 and 15°C; 25 and 10°C; 5°C. Using the growth constants from the Von Berta-lanffy's modeladjusted to give a gaussian curve, it was calculated that theoptimum temperatures for the growth of P. planorbis and P. corneuswere 19 and 20.5°C respectively. A mathematical model basedon spline functions makes it possible to predict the growthof snails over a wide range of temperatures. (Received 2 June 1993; accepted 18 November 1993) 相似文献

Knee, M. 1987. Development of ethylene biosynthesis in pearfruits at 1 °C.J. exp. Bot. 38: 17241733. The regulation of ethylene synthesis in pear fruits was investigated.During storage for 60 d at 1 °C the rate of ethylenesynthesis increased 100-fold but the concentration of 1-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylicacid (ACC) increased only 2-fold and ACC synthase activity waslow. On transfer to 15 °C after storage at 1 °Cethylene synthesis increased 10-fold within 10 h but ACC synthaseactivity only increased rapidly after 24 h; the decline in ACClevels during the first 16 h at 15 °C was insufficient tosustain ethylene synthesis. Ethylene synthesis was further investigatedusing discs cut from the mid cortex of pear fruits. Synthesiswas inhibited by aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) and amino-oxyaceticacid at all stages of ripening. The rate of synthesis and ACCsynthase activity increased rapidly after slicing of pears heldat 1 °C but more slowly in discs cut from pearsimmediately after harvest. Cycloheximide (CHI) inhibited theseincreases and reversed increases resulting from pre-incubationof discs. A combination of CHI and AVG abolished the capacityof discs to synthesize ACC and ethylene production was curtailed.Cordycepin and actinomycin-D were less effective as inhibitorsof the development of ethylene synthesis and ACC synthase activitythan as inhibitors of incorporation of 5-[3H] uridine into totalRNA or poly A rich RNA. The ability of discs to develop ethylenesynthesis and ACC synthase activity in the presence and absenceof cordycepin increased concurrently during storage of wholefruits at 1 °C. This suggested that mRNA for ACCsynthase was formed at 1 °C. Key words: 1-Aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylic acid, ethylene, fruit ripening, Pyrus communis L. (fruit ripening) 相似文献

Shoot--root Plasticity and Episodic Growth in Red Pine Seedlings 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Red pine seedlings of a half-sib seed source were grown in growthchambers under thermoperiodic regimes of 30/20 °C, 25/15°C and 20/10 °C day/night temperatures. Classical growthanalyses based on weekly harvests of leaves, stem and rootswere employed to study the first 3 to 15 weeks of seedling development.Leaf and root growth were inversely related and episodic. Significantshort term surges in growth of either organ were effective inreversing periodic imbalances that occurred, thus maintaininga long term dry weight equilibrium between above and below groundseedling parts. Adaptive plasticity in the leaf-root balanceat different temperatures gave plants grown at 25/15 °Ca larger proportion of leaves relative to roots and a greatersize compared to seedlings grown under other regimes. Episodicfluctuations in leaf and root growth occurred simultaneouslywith depressions in net assimilation rate. Apparently, balancedgrowth is maintained at an assimilatory cost to the plant, periodiccorrections of shootroot imbalances requiringcarbohydrate conversion and energy expenditure.

Plant Growth-promoting Rhizobacteria and Soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] Growth and Physiology at Suboptimal Root Zone Temperatures 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Application of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) hasbeen shown to increase legume growth and development under optimaltemperature conditions, and specifically to increase nodulationand nitrogen fixation of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] overa range of root zone temperatures (RZTs). Nine rhizobacteriaapplied into soybean rooting media were tested for their abilityto reduce the negative effects of low RZT on soybean growthand development by improving the physiological status of theplant. Three RZTs were tested: 25, 17.5, and 15 °C. At eachtemperature some PGPR strains increased plant growth and development,but the stimulatory strains varied with temperature. The strainsthat were most stimulatory at each temperatures were as follows:15 °CSerratia proteamaculans 1102; 17.5 °CAeromonashydrophila P73, and 25 °CSerratia liquefaciens 268.Because enhancement of plant physiological activities were detectedbefore the onset of nitrogen fixation, these stimulatory effectscan be attributed to direct stimulation of the plant by thePGPR rather than stimulation of plant growth via improvementof the nitrogen fixation symbiosis.

Stands of groundnut were grown in controlled environment glasshousesat air temperatures of 19, 22, 25, 28, and 31°C. Leaf areaindex (L) increased with rise of temperature, and after 85 dwas about 10-fold larger at 31°C than 19°C. Over mostof the range of temperature, both L and fractional interceptionof solar radiation (f) were functions of thermal time accumulatedfrom sowing (above a base of 10°C). In this respect, theywere tightly coupled to developmental rate at the main apex.In one experiment, only 38% of seeds emerged at 22°C and21% at 19°C, compared with more than 70% at 25°C and31°C, but the low population density was compensated byfaster leaf expansion by each plant (at 22°C only) and agreater fraction of solar radiation intercepted by unit leafarea. The amount of solar radiation intercepted by stands increasedwith rise in temperature, but the greatest differences betweentreatments occurred before the canopies achieved complete groundcover (i.e.f>0.9) and the relative effect of a rise in temperaturediminished the longer the duration of growth. The dry matterproduced for unit solar radiation intercepted was not stronglyaffected by temperature between 22°C and 31°C, wherethe mean was 2.1 g MJ1; the value at 19°C was uncertainsince the stands were sparse throughout the experiment. After85 d, the stand at 31°C had produced eight times the drymatter of that at 19°Ca difference caused mainlyby the effect of temperature on the rates of development andexpansion.

Callus and suspension cultures of Theobroma cacao L., initiatedfrom immature cotyledons of beans from pods harvested 120130days after pollination were established. A modified B-5 or MurashigeSkoogagar medium sustained growth of callus without loss of vigourafter each sub-culture. A 15-fold weight increase occurred duringthe 4 week culture periods at 30 ± 1 °C. Coconutwater improved callus growth substantially. The optimum hormonalconcentrations for growth of suspensions were 0.5 mg 11of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 0.1 mg I1 of kinetinin a MurashigeSkoog basal medium liquid medium. The optimumtemperature for growth of suspensions was 2530 °C.The cell number and cell mass of suspensions increased 20-foldin 14 days. No organogenesis or embryogenesis was observed.

Hodson, M. J., Di Nola, L. and Mayer, A. M. 1987. The effectof changing temperatures during imbibition on ultrastructurein germinating pea embryonic radicles.J. exp. Bot. 38:525534. Pea seeds were imbibed at 5 °C or at 25 °C for 56h and then germinated at the same temperature or transferredto the other temperature for 15 h. After imbibition or germinationthe embryonic axis was removed, fixed and the ultrastructureof the radicle tip examined. Exposure of the seeds to 5 °Cduring imbibition resulted in the cessation of almost all ultrastructuralchanges during subsequent germination at 5 °C. When theseeds were transferred to 25 °C development of ultrastructurewas far slower than expected. In particular, mitochondrial structurefailed to develop, there were few Golgi and little ER, and lipidbodies located near the plasma membrane disappeared or fusedmuch more slowly with the membrane. An attempt is made to relatethe observations on ultrastructure with data previously reportedon the metabolism of phospholipids in the plasma membrane andER of the embryonic axis. A tentative hypothesis to accountfor the effect of temperature of imbibition on subsequent seedgermination is proposed. Key words: Pisum sativum L. cv.

Seeds of the Smooth-leafed Elm (Uimus carpinifolia) and of thetropical forest tree Terb (Terminalia brassii) were stored hermeticallyand sampled at intervals for periods of up to two years. Bothspecies possess orthodox seed (increasing longevityis observed as either moisture content or temperature are reduced)within the temperature ranges from 13 to 52°C (Elm)and from 4 to 42°C (Terb) and within the moisturecontent ranges from 3 to 19 per cent (Elm) and from 5 to 14per cent (Terb) on a fresh weight basis. Elm seed stored at75°C showed the expected relationship between longevityand moisture content, but did not differ significantly in longevityfrom seed kept at 13°C when moisture contents wereheld constant. Probit analysis of the relationship between germinationpercentage and time was performed for each storage environment,yielding a slope from which the standard deviation of the distributionof seed deaths over time () was calculated. Standard deviationvalues were used in turn to determine the values of constantsin a viability equation which had previously been applied toseed of barley, chickpea, cowpea and soybean. The equation,which gave a good fit to the results obtained, can be used topredict viability for seed in storage over a wide range of environmentalconditions. Some limitations to the applicability of the viability equationwere defined. At 22 per cent and higher moisture contents Elmseed survived longer than predicted. Furthermore, all Elm andTerb seed was killed quickly on placing in 75°C at22 and 20 per cent moisture content respectively, but high viabilitywas retained for several days at 19 and 17 per cent respectively.Practical implications of the results are discussed.

Improved Equations for the Prediction of Seed Longevity 总被引:23,自引:1,他引:22
Equations for predicting seed longevity in storage have beenimproved so that they now take into account variations withina species in initial seed qualitywhich is affected bygenotype and pre-storage environmentand so that theyare more accurate over a wider range of storage environmentsThese improvements have been incorporated into a seed viabilitynomograph for barley (Hordeum distichum L.) which may be usedto predict percentage viabihty of any seed lot after any timein any storage environment within the range 20 to 90°C and 525 per cent moisture content. Applicationsof the improved equations to seed drying and to long-term seedstorage for genetic conservation are discussed.

When seedlings grown at low (6 or 12°C) or high (36°C)root temperatures were transferred to 24°C the rates ofroot hair infection increased rapidly, generally to above thatof plants kept at 24°C. This switching-onof the infection process occurred irrespective of the time oftransfer between 6 and 14 d, but transfers from 36 to 24°C,at times later than 6 d showed a small lag period before thenumbers of infections increased. Responses to late transferat 22 d from either 6 or 36°C to 24°C were less striking.A reverse transfer from 24°C to 6 or 36°C at any timelater than 4 d caused no change in the infection rate. Whenplants at 6°C were moved at different times to temperaturesin the range of 1236°C for 8 h and then returnedto 6°C (double transfer) rates of infection were most increasedat 30°C; 36°C was inhibitory. The greatest and the quickestresponse was with plants transferred at 2 d; transfer at 10d had no effect. When plants grown at 6°C for 6 d were exposed to 24°Cfor 0.5, 1... 24 h and then returned to 6°C rates of infectionwere enhanced compared with plants held at 6°C; responseswere directly proportional to time (>1 h) spent at 24°C.Rates of infection were greatest immediately after transferand thereafter declined. 相似文献

Changes in various components of photosynthetic activity duringthe dark induced senescence of detached wheat leaves, maintainedat 25°C (control) and 35°C (mildly elevated temperaturetreatment), were examined. Senescence-associated decline measuredup to 96 h, in photosynthetic activity was appreciably hastenedat 35°C, than at 25°C as evident by the relative higherlosses of chlorophyll, photosystem (PS) II and PS I catalyzedphotochemical activities and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP)carboxylase activity. In addition, a comparatively higher risein light scattering profile of isolated chloroplasts was notedat 35°C than at 25°C. Senescence-induced degradationof chlorophyll was faster at 35°C than at 25°C; on theother hand, the degradation of carotenoids was faster at 25°Cthan at 35°C. Furthermore, the ratio of carotenoids to chlorophyllincreased with senescence up to 96 hours, higher ratio beingobtained at 35°C than at 25°C. Both PS II and PS I activitiesshowed a transient rise in the beginning phase of dark incubation,whereas loss in chlorophyll was continuous throughout the periodof senescence. The initial rise observed in photochemical activitieswas attributable to the uncoupling of electron transport fromphotophosphorylation. Elevated temperature treatment resultedin greater inactivation of RuBP carboxylase than control. Itappears that during senescence the loss in chlorophyll and RuBPcarboxylase activity are triggered simultaneously. (Received June 7, 1985; Accepted October 30, 1985) 相似文献

Seeds of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and mung bean (Vigna radiata(L.) Wilczek), with orthodox seed storage behaviour, were imbibedfor between 8 h and 96 h at 15 °C and 25 °C, respectively,while barley seeds were also maintained in moist aerated storageat 15 °C for 14 d. These seeds and seedlings, together withcontrols, were then dried to various moisture contents between3% and 16% (wet basis) and hermetically stored for six monthsat 20°C, 0°C or 15°C. In both species, neitherdesiccation nor subsequent hermetic storage of the control lotsresulted in loss in viability. The results for barley seedsimbibed for 24 h were similar to the control, but desiccationsensitivity increased progressively with duration of imbibitionbeyond 24 h in barley or 8 h in mung bean; these treatmentsalso reduced the longevity of the surviving seeds in air-drystorage. Loss in viability in barley imbibed for 48 h was mostrapid at the two extreme seed storage moisture contents of 3·6%and 14·3%, and in both these cases was more rapid at15 °C than at cooler temperatures. Similarly, for mung beanimbibed for 8 h, loss in viability was most rapid at the lowest(4·3%) moisture content, but in this case it was morerapid at 20 °C than at warmer temperatures. Thus,these results for the storage of previously imbibed orthodoxseeds conform with the main features of intermediate seed storagebehaviour Key words: Barley, Hordeum vulgare L., mung bean, Vigna radiata (L.)

Germination of Tagetes minuta L. I. Temperature Effects 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Initial studies have indicated that Tagetes minuta achenes haveboth a temperature and a light requirement for germination.Temperatures tested were 10, 20, 25, 30 and 35 °C. Germinationwas optimal at 25 °C under white light conditions. Underthese conditions 100 per cent of achenes germinated within 7days of imbibition. There was no germination at 10 or 35 °Ceither in the light or in the dark. Achenes imbibed and incubatedat 35 °C for 4 days showed no visible signs of germinationbut on transfer to 25 °C, 100 per cent of these achenesgerminated within 24 h. Furthermore, achenes given this hightemperature (35 °C) treatment could be dried at 25 °C,re-imbibed at 25 °C and again 100 per cent of achenes germinatedwithin 24 h of re-imbibition. This rapid germination responsefollowing removal from the high temperature regime could alsobe induced by transfer to temperatures of 20 °C or 20 °C(16 h) alternating with 10 °C (8 h).

Intact seeds of P. sativum and P. elatius leaked electrolytes,sugars and proteins for as long as 48 h after the beginningof imbibition. Initial leakage was higher at 25 °C thanat 5 °C, but its extent was much greater at the lower temperature.Transfer of seed from 5 °C to 25 °C after 5 h imbibitionresulted in leakage for 48 h at the initial rate at 5 °C.The transfer from 25 °C to 5 °C gave leakage at a rateequivalent to the initial rate at 25 °C. The results arediscussed in relation to behaviour of membranes and to the sensingof the initial temperature.

Experimental Evolution and Its Role in Evolutionary Physiology 总被引:4,自引:2,他引:2
Four general approaches to the study of evolutionary physiologyphylogenetically-basedcomparisons, genetic analyses and manipulations, phenotypicplasticity and manipulation, and selection studiesareoutlined and discussed. We provide an example of the latter,the application of laboratory selection experiments to the studyof a general issue in environmental adaptation, differencesin adaptive patterns of generalists and specialists. A cloneof the bacterium Escherichia coli that had evolved in a constantenvironment of 37°C was replicated into 6 populations andallowed to reproduce for 2,000 generations in a variable thermalenvironment alternating between 32 and 42°C. As predictedby theory, fitness and efficiency of resource use increasedin this new environment, as did stress resistance. Contraryto predictions, however, fitness and efficiency in the constantancestral environment of 37°C did not decrease, nor didthermal niche breadth or phenotypic plasticity increase. Selectionexperiments can thus provide a valuable approach to testinghypotheses and assumptions about the evolution of functionalcharacters. 相似文献

Larvae (72 hr old) of P. lividus and A. lixula grazed on varioussuspensions of natural particulate matter with a size rangeof 2 to 30 microns, and on two species of algae (Phaeodactylumtricor-nutum and Nitzschia sp.) Larvae graze most in the size range where the particleconcentration is highest. If larvae deplete certain size categories of particlesthey then graze other size ranges in which the concentrationis still high. The grazing rate of the two species varied between 988and 91.949 µm3 per pluteus per hour. For A. lixula larvae the grazing rate increases withincreasing temperature to a maximum at 22°C. 相似文献

H+ Efflux and Trans-Root Potential Measured while Increasing the Temperature of Solutions Bathing Excised Roots of Zea mays 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Kennedy, C. D. and Gonsalves, F. A. N. 1988. H+ efflux and trans-rootpotential measured while increasing the temperature of solutionsbathing excised roots of Zea mays.J. exp. Bot. 39: 3749. Novel temperature-ramp procedures have been used to measureH+ efflux and trans-root potential of excised roots of Zea mays(var. Fronica). Two types of experiment were performed: (1),increasing temperature from 17°C, and (2), pre-cooling theroots to 1°C before starting the temperature ramp. The ratesof increase of temperature for H+ efflux and trans-root potentialexperiments were 0·5 and 2·1°C min1respectively The H+ scans revealed strong sharp maxima at 30°C and 32°C,for non-pre-cooled and pre-cooled roots respectively, the latterbeing significantly smaller. The trans-root potential scansfor the pre-cooled roots showed a corresponding maximum at 30°C,which was inhibited by KCN (1-0 mmol dm3) with or withoutSHAM (10 mmol dm3), or Hg2+ (1, 10, 100 µmol dm3)in the bathing solutions. Some of the evidence suggests thatthese maxima are associated with electrogenic H+ pumping, mediatedby a plasma membrane-bound ATPase. However, no correspondingmaximum was observed in the trans-root potential scans for non-pre-cooledroots, the potential remaining at about 75 m V from20°C to 35°C. As there is a 7-fold increase in H+ effluxbetween 20°C and 30°C, the relationship between netH+ efflux and electrogenic proton pumping in these roots isby no means clear. Some possibilities are considered here. Pre-cooled and non-pre-cooled roots show clear maxima in thetrans-root potential scans at about 46°C, at which temperaturethere is a slight net H+ influx. This, and other less prominentfeatures observed, are briefly discussed. Key words: H+ efflux, trans-root potential, temperature-ramp procedure, Zea mays, roots 相似文献

These phenomena are temperature-dependent and the latterpromotes the development of callus and shoots at 20 °C and25 °C instead of direct somatic embryogenesis at 35 °C.At 30 °C all types of morphogenesis are observed. After5 d of culture, cells grown at each temperature exhibit enlargednuclei with prominent nucleoli, fragmented vacuoles and densecytoplasm. However, at 25 °C, callose is restricted to woundedcells whereas at 35 °C some nearby mesophyll cells showa more or less complete callose sheath. On the 7th day, proembryosat 35 °C show a superficial network which is absent at 25°C on shoot primordia which are covered with a smooth precociousproto-derm.

The effects of three temperature regimes, 25°C day/20°Cnight, 20°C day/15°C night and 15°C day/10°Cnight upon seed development in S.22 Italian ryegrass, S.24 perennialryegrass, S.215 meadow fescue and a Swiss ecotype of meadowfescue were investigated. The largest ovaries and largest seedswere obtained from the 15/10°C environment and floret fertilitywas greatest at 20/15°C. The largest seed weight per inflorescencewas at 20/15°C, except for the Swiss ecotype of meadow fescuewhere it was greatest at 15/10°C. The percentage germinationwas highest from those seeds developed at 25/20°C and thiswas particularly marked at germination temperatures of 1320°C.There was a low rate of germination of seeds from the 15/10°Ctreatment, but they produced seedlings with the largest dryweights. It is concluded that year to year temperature differenceswill affect the yield and quality of seed crops of forage grasses. 相似文献
