以7个磷效率不同的大豆基因型为材料,通过土壤盆栽试验进行石灰和磷肥处理,研究酸性土壤上缺磷和铝毒对大豆生长的交互影响及其基因型差异.结果表明：缺磷和铝毒是酸性土壤上同时存在的影响大豆生长的主要障碍因子,其中铝毒对大豆生长的限制更为严重;缺磷和铝毒对酸性土壤上大豆生长的影响具有显著的交互作用.同时施用石灰（降低铝毒）和磷肥（提高磷有效性）比单施石灰或单施磷肥处理对大豆生长的促进效果更显著;缺磷和铝毒对大豆磷吸收的影响远大于对氮、钾吸收的影响.合理种植大豆对酸性土壤具有较好的改良作用.同时施用石灰［1.103 g Ca(OH)₂·kg^-1土］和磷肥（2.018 g KH₂PO₄·kg^-1土）可使酸性土壤pH值平均提高38.4%,交换性铝含量降低96.3%,有效磷含量提高3223.8％.种植磷高效大豆基因型比磷低效大豆基因型对酸性土壤的改良效果更好.     

氮添加促进丛枝菌根真菌和根系协作维持土壤磷有效性

玉米各器官积累Pb能力的品种间差异

为了研究不同玉米(Zea mays)品种及不同器官对Pb积累能力的差异,在土壤Pb含量为595.55 mg·kg^-1 的高Pb胁迫和含量为195.55 mg·kg^-1的低Pb胁迫(对照)条件下,采用盆栽试验结合火焰原子吸收等方法,测定了25个玉米品种各器官Pb的含量。结果表明:Pb胁迫下供试玉米品种各器官含Pb量表现为根>茎≌叶>籽实;与对照相比,根、茎、叶Pb含量均大幅度提高,籽实含量的提高幅度相对较小;Pb胁迫条件下,有近半数的供试玉米品种的籽实Pb含量超过了国家规定的卫生标准,显示了在受重金属污染农田生产的玉米产品存在着较高的受Pb污染的风险。有22个品种平均籽实生物量在较强Pb胁迫下有所下降,降幅为0.9%~38.7%,但平均降幅仅为12.6%,显示玉米在Pb胁迫下的减产不易察觉,从而增加了在受污染农田中玉米产品受Pb污染的风险。但研究也表明,在较高Pb胁迫下尚有52%的品种籽实Pb含量未超过国家卫生标准最高限量值,因此可以利用这些品种在受Pb污染农田中进行玉米生产,以降低Pb经玉米产品进入人类食物链的风险。研究结果还发现供试玉米品种各营养器官间Pb含量均呈极显著正相关,但营养器官与籽实Pb含量间无显著相关。其中在较强的胁迫条件下营养器官Pb含量特别高的品种No.1的籽实中Pb含量(0.19 mg·kg^-1)比较低,未超过国家卫生标准;品种No.2、No.3和品种No.6也有类似的特点。除上述品种以及品种No.4外,其余品种籽实Pb含量遵循与营养器官Pb含量成正比的一般规律。根中Pb含量特别高的品种No.1,籽实产量在Pb胁迫下略有下降,但下降幅度最小。胁迫条件下,品种No.1的营养器官Pb总量最高(51.69 mg·plant^-1),是对照的近12倍;籽实Pb含量符合国家标准的品种No.2,No.3和No.6的营养器官Pb总量也较高,在36~42 mg·plant^-1之间。由此可见,存在着在受Pb污染农田利用这些品种进行玉米生产同时修复受污染土壤的可能。     

Leaf nitrogen and phosphorus concentration and the empirical regulations in dominant woody plants of shrublands across southern China

Aims Understanding the changes in N and P concentration in plant organs along the environmental gradients can provide meaningful information to reveal the underline mechanisms for the geochemical cycles and adaptation strategies of plants to the changing environment. In this paper, we aimed to answer: (1) How did the N and P concentration in leaves of evergreen and deciduous woody plants change along the environmental gradients? (2) What were the main factors regulating the N and P concentration in leaves of woody plants in the shrublands across southern China?
Methods Using a stratified random sampling method, we sampled 193 dominant woody plants in 462 sites of 12 provinces in southern China. Leaf samples of dominant woody plants, including 91 evergreen and 102 deciduous shrubs, and soil samples at each site were collected. N and P concentration of the leaves and soils were measured after lapping and sieving. Kruskal-Wallis and Nemenyi tests were applied to quantify the difference among the organs and life-forms. For each life-form, the binary linear regression was used to estimate the relationships between leaf log [N] and log [P] concentration and mean annual air temperature (MAT), mean annual precipitation (MAP) and log soil total [N], [P]. The effects of climate, soil and plant life-form on leaf chemical traits were modeled through the general linear models (GLMs) and F-tests.
Important findings 1) The geometric means of leaf N and P concentrations of the dominant woody plants were 16.57 mg·g^-1 and 1.02 mg·g^-1, respectively. The N and P concentration in leaves (17.91 mg·g^-1, 1.14 mg·g^-1) of deciduous woody plants was higher than those of evergreen woody plants (15.19 mg·g^-1, 0.89 mg·g^-1). The dependent of leaf P concentration on environmental (climate and soil) appeared more variable than N concentration. 2) Leaf N and P in evergreen woody plants decreased with MAT and but increased with MAP, whereas those in deciduous woody plants showed opposite trends. With increase in MAP, leaf P concentration decreased for both evergreen and deciduous woody plants. 3) Soil N concentration had no significant effect on both evergreen and deciduous woody plants. However, leaf P concentration of the tow increased significantly with soil P concentration. (4) GLMs showed that plant growth form explained 7.6% and 14.4% of variation in leaf N and P, respectively. MAP and soil P concentration contributed 0.8% and 16.4% of the variation in leaf P, respectively. These results suggested that leaf N was mainly influenced by plant growth form, while leaf P concentration was driven by soil, plant life-form, and climate at our study sites.

苯并[α]芘对不同修复潜力羊茅属植物的根系分泌物中几种低分子量有机物的影响

根系分泌物是植物与土壤间进行物质交换和信息传递的重要载体, 是植物响应外界胁迫的重要途径, 也是构成根际微生态特征的关键因素。根系分泌物与有机污染物的植物修复密切相关, 研究胁迫条件下不同修复潜力植物间根系分泌物的释放特征有助于揭示植物修复的内在机制。该文借助根际袋土培试验研究了苯并[α]芘(BaP)胁迫下5种羊茅属(Festuca)植物根系不同生长期(30-70天)几种低分子量有机物的分泌特征。结果表明: 1) BaP浓度在10.25-161.74 mg·kg^-1范围内时, 待试植物能有效地促进土壤中BaP的去除, 其修复潜力依次为苇状羊茅(F. arundinacea) > 草原羊茅(F. chelungkiangnica) ≥ 毛稃羊茅(F. rubra subsp. arctica) ≥ 贫芒羊茅(F. sinomutica) > 细芒羊茅(F. stapfii)。2) BaP胁迫增强了植物根系对可溶性糖的分泌: 随着胁迫强度的增大、胁迫期的延长, 其分泌量变化呈“先升后降”趋势。3) BaP胁迫促进了植物根系低分子量有机酸的释放, 植物的修复潜力越大, 有机酸高峰值出现时的胁迫浓度越高; 组成成分较稳定, 草酸、乙酸、乳酸和苹果酸为主要组分(>97.34%), 在修复潜力较强植物的根系分泌物中检测出微量的反丁烯二酸。4) BaP胁迫对氨基酸种类影响不大, 但对分泌量影响较大。其中, 苏氨酸、丝氨酸、甘氨酸、丙氨酸的分泌量随BaP胁迫强度的增强而剧增; 脯氨酸、羟脯氨酸和天冬氨酸近乎以加和效应甚至协同效应的形式参与植物对BaP胁迫的应激反应: 参与应激组分的分泌量随胁迫强度的增强而剧增, 植物的修复潜力越强, 参与的组分越多。可见BaP胁迫下, 5种羊茅属植物根系分泌物中几种低分子量有机物的释放特征与植物自身的修复潜力有关: 修复潜力越强, 释放量越多且成分也越复杂, 并呈现出较强的环境适应性及生理可塑性。     

铁胁迫下大豆光合和磷/铁性状对磷素的响应

为了明确低铁胁迫下磷素用量对大豆光合和磷/铁性状的影响及基因型差异,为磷、铁肥的合理施用提供理论依据,以前期筛选的6个磷高效基因型和6个磷低效基因型大豆为供试材料,设4个P∶Fe配比处理,分别为0∶30、30∶30、150∶30和300∶30(μmol·L^-1),对大豆叶绿素荧光特性和磷、铁利用率进行了测定,利用单株粒重建立逐步回归方程并进行通径分析,通过因子得分综合评价磷高效和磷低效基因型对不同P∶Fe处理的响应。结果表明: 基因型效应、P∶Fe处理效应和两者互作效应对始花期(R1)光系统Ⅱ的相对电子传递速率(ETR)、光系统Ⅱ吸收的能量用于耗散为热量的比例(NPQ)、光系统Ⅱ吸收的能量用于进行光化学反应的比例(qL)的影响均达显著水平。典型相关分析表明,磷高效大豆基因型完熟期(R8)籽粒磷利用率与R1期光合速率呈负相关;磷低效大豆基因型R8期籽粒铁利用率与R1期NPQ呈正相关关系,而与R1期qL呈负相关关系;R1期PSⅡ实际光化学效率(Φ_PSⅡ)与磷高效基因型呈负相关,而与磷低效基因型呈正相关,这表明R1期Φ_PSⅡ可以作为鉴定低铁条件下不同磷效率大豆基因型的一个重要指标。利用因子得分综合评价发现,磷高效基因型表现为随着磷水平的上升而先降后升,而磷低效基因型则为先升后降,但两者拐点均出现在P∶Fe为30∶30处理下,这表明在低铁条件下P∶Fe为30∶30可以作为鉴定不同磷效率基因型的一个临界值。因而,在低铁地区种植磷高效大豆基因型时,磷肥的施用量至少要大于1∶1 (P∶Fe);而种植磷低效基因型时,磷肥的施用量不宜超过1∶1 (P∶Fe)。     

Phosphorus and aluminum interactions in soybean in relation to aluminum tolerance. Exudation of specific organic acids from different regions of the intact root system

Aluminum (Al) toxicity and phosphorus (P) deficiency often coexist in acid soils that severely limit crop growth and production, including soybean (Glycine max). Understanding the physiological mechanisms relating to plant Al and P interactions should help facilitate the development of more Al-tolerant and/or P-efficient crops. In this study, both homogeneous and heterogeneous nutrient solution experiments were conducted to study the effects of Al and P interactions on soybean root growth and root organic acid exudation. In the homogenous solution experiments with a uniform Al and P distribution in the bulk solution, P addition significantly increased Al tolerance in four soybean genotypes differing in P efficiency. The two P-efficient genotypes appeared to be more Al tolerant than the two P-inefficient genotypes under these high-P conditions. Analysis of root exudates indicated Al toxicity induced citrate exudation, P deficiency triggered oxalate exudation, and malate release was induced by both treatments. To more closely mimic low-P acid soils where P deficiency and Al toxicity are often much greater in the lower soil horizons, a divided root chamber/nutrient solution approach was employed to impose elevated P conditions in the simulated upper soil horizon, and Al toxicity/P deficiency in the lower horizon. Under these conditions, we found that the two P-efficient genotypes were more Al tolerant during the early stages of the experiment than the P-inefficient lines. Although the same three organic acids were exuded by roots in the divided chamber experiments, their exudation patterns were different from those in the homogeneous solution system. The two P-efficient genotypes secreted more malate from the taproot tip, suggesting that improved P nutrition may enhance exudation of organic acids in the root regions dealing with the greatest Al toxicity, thus enhancing Al tolerance. These findings demonstrate that P efficiency may play a role in Al tolerance in soybean. Phosphorus-efficient genotypes may be able to enhance Al tolerance not only through direct Al-P interactions but also through indirect interactions associated with stimulated exudation of different Al-chelating organic acids in specific roots and root regions.     

Stoichiometric characteristics of carbon,nitrogen and phosphorus of Sibiraea angustata shrub on the eastern Qinghai-Xizang Plateau

Aims Little is known about the stoichiometric characteristics of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in plateau shrubs across China. Sibiraea angustata is a typical and representative shrub species on the eastern Qinghai- Xizang Plateau, and exploring its C, N and P distribution patterns and stoichiometric properties in different organs (including root, shoot, leaf, twig and fruit) would help us better understand the mechanisms of C, N and P cycling and balance in the S. angustata dominated shrub ecosystem.
Methods Sixteen sampling sites were selected on the eastern Qinghai-Xizang Plateau by the stratified sampling method. The height and coverage of the dominant shrubs, latitude, longitude and altitude of the sites were recorded. Three 5 m × 5 m plots were selected at each site. At least 128 biological samples of plant organs of S. angustata were collected and measured, respectively. The C and N concentrations of plant samples were analyzed using an elemental analyzer (2400 II CHNS). The P concentration was analyzed using the molydate/ascorbic acid method after H₂SO₄-H₂O₂ digestion.
Important findings The C, N and P concentrations of different organs followed the order of: shoot (495.07 g·kg^-1) > twig (483.37 g·kg^-1) > fruit (480.35 g·kg^-1) > root (468.47 g·kg^-1) > leaf (466.33 g·kg^-1); leaf (22.27 g·kg^-1) > fruit (19.74 g·kg^-1) > twig (7.98 g·kg^-1) > shoot (4.54 g·kg^-1) > root (4.00 g·kg^-1) and fruit (2.85 g·kg^-1) > leaf (1.92 g·kg^-1) > twig (0.96 g·kg^-1) > root (0.52 g·kg^-1) > shoot (0.45 g·kg^-1), respectively. The ranges of the coefficient of variation (CV) for C, N and P concentrations were 1.71%-4.44%, 14.49%-25.50% and 11.46%-46.15%, respectively. Specifically, the C concentration was relatively high and stable, and the maximum CV values for N and P were found in roots. The N:P value of different organs varied from 7.12-12.41 and the minimum CV for N:P was found in twig, which indicated that N:P in twig had higher internal stability. In addition, correlation analysis indicated that the C concentration was significantly negatively correlated with N and P concentrations and correlation coefficients were -0.407 and -0.342, respectively. However, N concentration had dramatically positive correlation with P concentration and the correlation coefficient was 0.814. These results also could indicate that the C, N and P stoichiometric characteristics in the S. angustata shrub accorded with the homeostatic mechanism and growth rate hypothesis to some extent, the distributions of C, N and P concentrations were closely related to the function of the organs and it should be prudent to use ecological stoichiometric ratios to judge the condition of nutrient limitation at the species level.     

Higher plant diversity enhances soil stability in disturbed alpine ecosystems

Genotypic differences in acquiring immobile P exist among species or cultivars within one species. We investigated the P-efficiency mechanisms of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) in low P soil by measuring plant growth, P acquisition and rhizosphere properties. Two genotypes with different P efficiencies were grown in a root-compartment experiment under low P (P15: 15 mg P kg^?1) and high P (P100: 100 mg P kg^?1) treatments. The P-efficient genotype produced more biomass, and had a high seed yield and high P acquisition efficiency under low P treatment. Under both P treatments, both genotypes decreased inorganic P (Pi) and organic P (Po) fractions in the rhizosphere soil. However there was no decrease in NaHCO₃-Po at P100. For the P15 treatment, the concentrations of NaHCO₃-Po and NaOH-Po were negatively correlated with soil acid phosphatase activity. The P-efficient genotype 102 differed from the P-inefficient genotype 105 in the following ways. In the rhizosphere the soil pH was lower, acid phosphatase activity was higher, and depletion of P was greater. Further the depletion zones were wider. These results suggested that improving P efficiency based on the character of P efficiency acquisition in P-efficient genotype would be a potential approach for maintaining rapeseed yield potential in soils with low P bioavailability.
