低温条件下外源物质对棉株不同部位果枝棉铃纤维比强度的影响

在棉纤维加厚发育期20.0℃的日均温条件下,对棉花6~9果枝(中部果枝)和11~14果枝(上部果枝)1、2果节棉铃及其对位果枝叶分别于花后15 d和30 d,外施C/N比恒定的3种外源物质:(1)6%蔗糖和0.6%谷氨酰胺混合溶液(C+N),(2)6%蔗糖、0.6%谷氨酰胺和2μg.g-16-BA混合溶液(C+N+BA),(3)2μg.g-16-BA溶液(BA),研究低温条件下外源物质对棉株不同部位果枝棉铃纤维比强度的影响。结果表明:花后15 d外施C+N+BA可提高棉花上部果枝铃铃重和衣分,花后15 d3、0 d外施C+N+BA均可提高棉花中部果枝铃铃重和衣分。花后15 d3、0 d外施BA均有利于棉花上部果枝铃衣分的提高。花后15 d、30 d外施C+N、C+N+BA、BA均导致棉花上部果枝铃棉纤维的螺旋角和取向分布角变大,纤维比强度降低,但可优化中部果枝铃棉纤维的螺旋角和取向分布角,提高纤维比强度,且以BA处理效果最佳。

以辽棉19号和美棉33B为材料,研究了不同施氮量(0、240、480 kg ·hm-2)和不同种植密度(75000、97500、120000 plants·hm-2)对东北特早熟棉区棉花棉铃生物量和氮素累积特征的影响.结果表明： 棉花单铃、棉籽和纤维的生物量及其氮素累积随棉花生育进程的动态变化均符合“S”型曲线,种植密度和施氮量可以显著影响棉铃各部分生物量和氮素累积的动态特征,以及棉花产量与品质;在施氮量240 kg·hm-2和种植密度97500 plants·hm-2处理下,单铃、棉籽和纤维的生物量均达到最大,生物量和氮素累积的快速累积起始时间和终止时间较早但持续时间较短,生物量快速累积速率最大,生物量和氮素在铃壳中的分配系数最低,在棉籽和纤维中分配系数最高.     

温度对棉铃对位叶生理特性及铃重形成的影响

以棉纤维品质差异较大的2个品种为材料,于2005～2006年在江苏南京设置不同播期试验,研究棉铃发育期不同温度对棉铃对位叶保护酶活性及C、N代谢等生理特性的影响及其与铃重形成的关系.结果表明:棉铃发育期日平均温度在23.1℃～24.9℃时棉铃对位叶的可溶性蛋白含量和内源保护酶活性较高,膜质过氧化程度轻,C、N生理活性均强,C/N协调,棉铃平均增重速度较高,棉铃快速增重期延长,易形成大铃;≥27.0℃时可溶性蛋白含量和内源保护酶活性较低、膜脂过氧化程度严重、N生理活性较弱、C/N高,铃重平均增重速度虽高,但快速增重期短,不利于提高铃重;≤20.7℃时可溶性蛋白含量下降快,内源保护酶活性较高,但酶活性下降时间早、速度快,膜脂过氧化程度也严重,可溶性糖转运率低且在对位叶内积累,N生理活性高,C/N低,铃重快速增重期虽长,但平均增重速率低,最终铃重下降.低温下'科棉1号'的对位叶生理活性比'美棉33B'强,铃重也较高.可见,棉铃对位叶保护酶活性高,C/N协调能提高铃重,而适宜的铃期日均温可以提高棉铃对位叶的生理特性.     

棉纤维加厚发育相关物质对纤维比强度的影响

棉铃发育期棉花源库活性对棉铃对位叶氮浓度的响应

采用大田试验,以3个铃期差异明显的棉花品种为材料,研究了不同施氮量形成的棉铃对位叶氮浓度对棉花花铃期纤维发育源库活性指标的影响。结果表明:在花后同一时期,棉铃对位叶可溶性糖、蔗糖含量和磷酸蔗糖合成酶活性以及棉纤维蔗糖含量和蔗糖合成酶活性等均随对位叶氮浓度的升高呈先升高后降低的变化趋势(45、52 DPA(花后天数Days post anthesis)的纤维蔗糖含量趋势相反),可用抛物线方程Y=ax2+bx+c拟合(P<0.01),通过拟合方程得到各指标所对应的最佳对位叶氮浓度。45 DPA(德夏棉1号38 DPA)前,花后同一时期各指标对应的最佳对位叶氮浓度差异较小,通过幂函数方程建立最佳叶氮浓度随花后天数的拟合方程,得到纤维发育期内源库活性各指标达到或接近最优状态时的适宜对位叶氮浓度的动态方程。本试验条件下,德夏棉1号、科棉1号和美棉33B的适宜对位叶氮浓度的拟合方程分别为N德1=7.2263DPA-0.276(R2=0.9805**)、N科1=7.23DPA-0.3026(R2=0.9861**)、N美33B=7.0997DPA-0.2814(R2=0.9807**)。     

土壤盐分对Bt棉铃壳中Bt蛋白含量和氮代谢生理的影响

为探讨土壤盐分对转Bt基因抗虫棉棉铃抗虫性的影响,以2个Bt棉品种‘新棉33B’(盐敏感)和‘中07’(耐盐)为试验材料,设置5个土壤盐分水平(0、0.15%、0.30%、0.45%和0.60%),采用盆栽法研究了不同土壤盐分下Bt棉盛铃期铃壳Bt蛋白含量变化及氮代谢生理特征.结果表明: 铃壳中Bt蛋白含量随土壤盐分的升高而降低,与对照相比(0%),盐敏感型品种在土壤盐分0.15%、耐盐型品种在0.30%以上时,铃壳中Bt蛋白含量显著下降.相同土壤盐分水平下,花后30 d(DPA)铃壳Bt蛋白含量下降幅度明显大于10 DPA.在铃壳Bt杀虫蛋白含量下降显著时,其可溶性蛋白含量明显下降,硝酸还原酶(NR)和谷氨酸丙酮酸转氨酶(GPT)活性显著下降;游离氨基酸含量、蛋白酶和肽酶活性在土壤盐分0.30%以上时显著增加.以上结果说明,土壤盐分影响铃壳的氮代谢,从而引起Bt蛋白合成减弱,中度以上土壤盐分水平会引起Bt蛋白分解加强,从而导致杀虫蛋白表达水平进一步下降.     

铃期增温对棉花产量、品质的影响及其生理机制

以泗棉3号棉花品种为材料,于2010和2011年在南京农业大学牌楼试验站设置铃期(7月13日-8月24日)增温试验,模拟全球增温条件下棉花产量、品质的变化趋势及其生理机制.结果表明: 在铃期增温2～3 ℃(日均温31.1～35.2 ℃)条件下,植株总生物量下降约10%,单株皮棉及籽棉产量降低30%～40%.棉纤维品质变化显著,且不同纤维品质指标对增温的响应程度存在较大差异:马克隆值和断裂比强度显著升高,纤维长度下降,而整齐度指数和伸长率无显著变化.棉株光合能力、干物质累积能力和光合产物输出能力显著下降;可溶性氨基酸、可溶性糖、蔗糖含量及碳氮比均显著下降,而淀粉含量显著上升;增温条件下营养器官干物质分配比例增多,生殖器官干物质分配比例相对减少,经济系数随之降低.棉株下部果枝受增温影响较小,中、上及顶部果枝受增温影响较大.表明在增温2～3 ℃条件下,棉株大部分时间处于热胁迫状态,不仅光合能力下降,而且光合产物向“库”端的转运能力下降,最终导致其减产.

和4月20日（正常播期）、6月15日（晚播）两个播期条件下．对棉花1～4果枝1、2果节棉铃及其对位果枝叶于花后15d和30d涂抹外源生理活性物质：6％蔗糖和0．6％符氨酰胺混合溶液（C＋N）、2％蔗糖和0．2％谷氨酰胺混合溶液（1／3C＋1／3N）及12%蔗精和1．2％谷氨酰胺混合溶液（2C＋2N）．各浓度处理的C／N比值相同。统计正常播期铃龄50d和纤维加厚发育期（铃龄25～50d）日均温分别为28．5℃、28．1℃．晚播铃龄50d和纤维加厚发育期日均温分刖为22．9℃、21．4℃（超过了相应的临界温度21℃和18℃）。试验结果表明．晚播条件下,花后15dC＋N处理以及花后30d 2C＋2N处理促进了氮和可溶性糖的运转．均使铃重增加最大,分别达0．40g和0．58g。3种浓度外源生理活性物质均增加了纤维素的累积量．且于花后30d促进了螺旋角（φ）和取向分布角（ψ）的优化．提高了纤维比强度．其中以2C＋2N处理提高纤维比强度幅度最大．达1．45cN／tex。花后15d以1／3C＋1／3N处理对提高纤维比强度最有利．达2．10cN／tex。     

Abscisic Acid and cutout in cotton

A decline in growth, flowering, and boll (fruit) retention is referred to as cutout in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Fruit load affects cutout, possibly through hormonal effects. Experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that fruits are a source of abscisic acid (ABA) that moves into fruiting branches and growing points where it inhibits growth, flowering, and boll retention. Removal of the flower or young boll at the first node of fruiting branches did not decrease the ABA content of fruiting branches or the abscission zone at the second node. Effects on ABA content of the boll at the second node varied. In one field test, ABA content of bolls at the second node decreased with successive harvests as bolls were removed from first node positions of several fruiting branches. Thus, the effect was cumulative and was not limited to individual branches. Removal of the flower or boll at the first node increased boll retention at the second node. Removal of all flowers during the first 3 weeks of flowering delayed the decreases in growth, flowering, and boll retention that occurred as fruit load increased. But, the ABA content of fruiting branches and mainstem apices was not decreased by early defruiting and did not increase with increasing fruit load. The results do not support the hypothesis that fruits are a source of ABA that moves into fruiting branches and growing points where it then inhibits growth, flowering, and boll retention.     

Removal of early fruit branches triggered regulations in senescence,boll attributes and yield of Bt cotton genotypes

Premature senescence, unopened and rotted bolls are the primary constrictions hampering the accomplishment of yield potential in Bt cotton. An experiment was conducted with the objectives to delay senescence, enhance boll opening and reduce the boll rotting. The experiment was conducted at two randomly selected sites of University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan, during 2015 and repeated in 2016. Each experiment was laid out in randomised complete block design with two by two factorial arrangement structure and replicated five times. Treatments were comprised of R₀ = no fruit removal; R₁ = removal of early fruit branches (REFB) and two genotypes, viz. V₁ = FH‐142 and V₂ = MNH‐886. Genotypes were selected on the basis of abiotic stress tolerance (FH‐142) and susceptibility (MNH‐886). Nodes above cracked bolls, monopodial branches, opened bolls per plant and seed cotton yield were enhanced by 23, 12, 13 and 17%, respectively, under the influence of REFB over no fruit branch removal, while the REFB‐mediated decrease in boll rotting was 27%. Moreover, the response of MNH‐886 was more remarkable than FH‐142 for all studied variables. Conclusively, REFB increased the number of nodes above a cracked boll, monopodial branches, opened bolls per plant and seed cotton yield while decreased rotted bolls per plant in both genotypes.     

Relationships of abscised cotton fruit to boll weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) feeding, oviposition, and development

Abscised cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., fruit in field plots planted at different times were examined to assess adult boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), use of squares and bolls during 2002 and 2003 in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Although boll abscission is not necessarily related to infestation, generally more bolls abscised than squares and abundances of fallen bolls were not related to the planting date treatments. During 2003, fallen squares were most abundant in the late-planted treatment. Although large squares (5.5-8-mm-diameter) on the plant are preferred for boll weevil oviposition, diameter of abscised squares is not a reliable measurement because of shrinkage resulting from desiccation and larval feeding. Fallen feeding-punctured squares and bolls were most abundant in late plantings but differences between fallen feeding-punctured squares versus fallen feeding-punctured bolls were found in only one treatment in 2003. During the same year, fallen oviposition-punctured squares were more numerous in the late-planted treatment than in the earlier treatments. Treatment effects were not found on numbers of oviposition-punctured bolls, but fallen oviposition-punctured squares were more common than bolls in the late-planted treatment compared with earlier treatments each year. Dead weevil eggs, larvae, and pupae inside fallen fruit were few and planting date treatment effects were not detected. Living third instars and pupae were more abundant in fallen squares of the late-planted treatment than in the earlier treatments and bolls of all three treatments. This study shows that fallen squares in late-planted cotton contribute more to adult boll weevil populations than bolls, or squares of earlier plantings.     

Effect of shading on yield,fiber quality and physiological characteristics of cotton subtending leaves on different fruiting positions

Little is known regarding to impact of simulated shading conditions on cotton yield and fiber quality at different fruiting positions. In this 2-year study, our field experiments investigated the effects of shading percentage on the cotton yield, fiber properties, photosynthesis, and carbohydrate concentrations in boll’s subtending leaves during various growing stages at different fruiting positions (FP). Net photosynthetic rate and effective quantum yield of PSII photochemistry decreased in response to shading on both FP1 and FP3 of the 7^th sympodial branches, respectively. Shading also reduced sucrose and starch contents of leaves at each fruiting position. Shading decreased the number and mass of cotton bolls, the fiber strength and micronaire, while the fiber length increased at both fruiting positions. Our results suggested that shading resulted in the reduction of the cotton yield and fiber quality, which are mainly associated with the changes in boll number and alteration of photosynthesis and carbohydrate concentrations during the boll development.     

Cotton boll age influences feeding preference by brown stink bug (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)

Cotton plants were infested with brown stink bug, Euschistus servus (Say), to define cotton boll age classes (based on heat unit accumulation beyond anthesis) that are most frequently injured during each of the initial 5 wk of flowering. Bolls from each week were grouped into discrete age classes and evaluated for the presence of stink bug injury. Brown stink bug injured significantly more bolls of age class B (approximately 165-336 heat units), age class C (approximately 330-504 heat units), and age class D (approximately 495-672 heat units) during the initial 3 wk in both years and in week 5 in 2002 compared with other boll ages. Generally, the frequency of injured bolls was lowest in age class A (< or = 168 heat units) during these periods. The preference by brown stink bug for boll age classes B, C, and D within a week was similar when ages were combined across all 5 wk. Based on these data, bolls that have accumulated 165.2 through 672 heat units beyond anthesis (approximately 7-27-d-old) are more frequently injured by brown stink bug when a range of boll ages are available. The boll ages in our studies corresponded to a boll diameter of 1.161-3.586 cm with a mid-range of 2.375 cm. A general protocol for initiating treatments against stink bugs is to sample bolls for evidence of injury as an indicator of presence of infestations in cotton. Sampling bolls within a defined range, which is most likely to be injured, should improve the precision of this method in detecting economic stink bug infestations in cotton.     

干旱胁迫对宁夏枸杞生长及果实糖分积累的影响

文章研究不同干旱胁迫下宁夏枸杞生长及果实糖分积累的变化规律,为宁夏枸杞在干旱地区高产栽培提供参考依据。采用盆栽控水试验,设置正常灌水、轻度干旱、中度干旱和重度干旱处理,研究了干旱胁迫对宁夏枸杞植株生长、生物量分配以及果实糖分积累的影响。结果表明：干旱抑制宁夏枸杞新稍、果实、株高和地径的生长：随着干旱程度加剧,根和茎中干物质分配率逐渐升高,而枝条、叶和果实中干物质分配率大幅降低;轻度干旱有利于果实发育过程中果糖的积累,中度和重度干旱胁迫则不利于成熟期果糖和蔗糖积累;干旱胁迫明显降低成熟期转化酶、蔗糖磷酸合成酶（SPS）和蔗糖合成酶（SS）的活性;果实发育过程中果糖的含量与SPS和转化酶活性存在极显著相关。可见,在果实发育期,土壤含水量为田间持水量55％以上,能促进宁夏枸杞果实中糖分积累,有效提高果实品质。     

Elevated temperature and waterlogging decrease cottonseed quality by altering the accumulation and distribution of carbohydrates,oil and protein

Soil waterlogging and high‐temperature events have occurred simultaneously in recent years in the Yangtze River basin cotton belt region of China, negatively affecting the development and quality of cottonseed. This study investigated the effects of the combination of elevated temperature (ET) (34.1/29.0°C) and waterlogging (3 or 6 days) on the accumulation and distribution of oil, protein and carbohydrates in cottonseed during flowering and boll development. The results showed that ET resulted in greater decreases in cottonseed biomass under waterlogging than under control conditions. The combination of waterlogging and ET significantly limited the accumulation of carbohydrates and oil contents. However, ET promoted protein accumulation and compensated for the negative effects of 3‐day waterlogging on the final protein content. The combined ET and 6‐day waterlogging significantly decreased the final contents of oil and protein by limiting carbon flux and NADPH supply because of the decreased activities of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC, EC 4.1.1.31) and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH, EC 1.1.1.49). The PEPC activity was correlated more with protein content than oil content. In addition, simultaneous exposure to waterlogging and ET resulted in lower unsaturated fatty acid/saturated fatty acid ratios and essential amino acid/non‐essential amino acid ratios than did exposure to the individual factors alone. These findings could provide the theoretical support for the prospective assessment of effects of high temperature and waterlogging stresses on cotton production under climate change, and they can help to develop effective techniques in cotton cultivation.     

内源吲哚乙酸、脱落酸和赤霉酸与棉铃发育及脱落的关系

气相色谱分析的结果表明,开花后5～6天,不受精即将脱落棉铃里IAA和ABA的含量显著高于对照;GA_3处理的铃中IAA和ABA的含量则明显低于对照。IAA和GA_3含量在开花后第10天达到高峰,以后迅速下降,至第30天。又出现第二峰胚珠和纤维里尤为明显。ABA含量在开花后第15天达得高峰,以后下降,到第30天,又逐渐上升。棉纤维伸长及干重增加的最快速率与这三种激素的含量高峰密切相关。
