不同品种大豆(Glycine max L.)对中国菟丝子(Cuscuta chinensis)寄生的生理生态响应

田间条件下观察了中国菟丝子危害14个大豆品种的差异,随后选择受中国菟丝子危害差异显著的3个品种与中国菟丝子混种,探讨田间条件下中国菟丝子危害这3个品种大豆植株的生理生态效应。实验显示:在寄生关系确立前,受危害重的大豆品种植株的光合色素含量和净光合速率、总黄酮和植株全氮的含量比受危害轻的品种高,而可溶性糖的含量则相反。在寄生关系确立后,危害重的品种植株光合色素含量和净光合速率、总黄酮和植株全氮的含量下降,可溶性糖含量则是危害程度愈重,升幅愈大。在相同栽培条件下,中国菟丝子生物量为:危害重的大豆植株>危害轻的大豆品种植株,同时受危害重的大豆品种植株的生物量下降也大,但中国菟丝子生物量与寄生大豆植株生物量下降量的百分比为:受危害重的品种<受危害轻的品种。结果表明:中国菟丝子在大豆品种间的寄生差异与大豆品种光合作用、次生代谢、同化物质合成和氮含量指标的变化有关,受中国菟丝子影响后大豆品种间的这些生理指标的差异进一步扩大。     

Relationship between root vigour,photosynthesis and biomass in soybean cultivars during 87 years of genetic improvement in the northern China

During the last century, the world soybean yield has been constantly enhancing at a remarkable rate. Factors limiting the soybean yield may be multiple. It is widely acknowledged that changes of root metabolism can influence aboveground characteristics, such as the seed yield and photosynthesis. In this study, we considered root bleeding sap mass (BSM) and root activity (RA) as indicators of the root growth vigour. We used 27 soybean cultivars, spanning from 1923 to 2009, to evaluate the contribution of root characteristic improvement to efficient photosynthesis and dry matter production. The BSM, RA, net photosynthetic rate (P_N), and organ biomass were measured at different growth stages, such as the fourth leaf node, flowering, podding, and seed-filling stage. Our results showed that the soybean cultivars increased their biomass and P_N thanks to genetic improvement. At the same time, BSM and RA also increased in dependence on a year of cultivar release. However, both P_N and biomass were positively correlated with root characteristics only at the podding stage. Our data revealed that the improved root characteristic may have contributed to the enhanced photosynthesis, biomass, and yield of soybean cultivars during last 87 years of genetic improvement. We suggest that BSM and RA could be used as important indexes for further practice in soybean production improvement.

Glyphosate affects chlorophyll,photosynthesis and water use of four Intacta RR2 soybean cultivars

The planting of RR2 Intacta soybeans by farmers has been expanding strongly. However, some visual injuries have been noted after glyphosate application. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of glyphosate application on chlorophyll, photosynthesis and water use of four Intacta RR2 soybean cultivars. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, in a randomized block design with a 3 × 4 factorial scheme, consisting of three glyphosate rates and four soybean cultivars. The glyphosate formula used was isopropylamine salt + potassium salt. The parameters analyzed were phytotoxicity at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after application, and total chlorophyll index at 0, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 and 49 days after application. Furthermore, 40 days after application, the net CO2 assimilation rate (A), transpiration rate (E), stomatal conductance (G), and internal CO₂ concentration (Ci) were evaluated as well. The water-use efficiency (WUE) and carboxylation efficiency were calculated. The data were submitted to analysis of variance and compared by the Tukey’s test (p ≤ 0.05), followed by regression analysis. The phytotoxicity influence could be seen until 21 days after application, in which Monsoy 6210 IPRO cultivar was the most injured. The increasing doses promoted a reduction of the chlorophyll level up to 35 days after application in Monsoy 6410 IPRO. The cultivars tested here showed similar chlorophyll index values. On the 3rd, 7th and 14th DAA (Fig. 5a–c), there was a significant linear decline in the chlorophyll index with rising glyphosate dose for all four cultivars. The chlorophyll index cultivars were not influenced by the doses on the 42nd and 49th DAA. There was no difference in water use and carboxylation efficiency. The parameters A, E and A/Ci showed a positive correlation as the doses increased, while Ci declined, in both cultivars. The application of glyphosate on these soybean cultivars causes different injuries according to the sensitivity. In general, RR2 soybeans have the ability to recover from visual intoxication injuries and reestablish the normal chlorophyll production and photosynthetic parameters after glyphosate application.     

不同产量水平旱地冬小麦品种干物质累积和转移的差异分析

旱地小麦高产栽培中品种起着重要作用,研究不同产量水平旱地冬小麦品种干物质累积和转移的差异,对黄土高原旱区作物高产稳产有重要意义。以9个旱地冬小麦品种为材料,通过田间试验研究了不同产量水平旱地冬小麦品种的生物量、花前花后干物质累积量、干物质转移量、转移率及转移干物质对籽粒的贡献率、叶面积、SPAD值以及光合速率的差异。结果表明,不同小麦品种的生物量、花前花后干物质累积量、干物质转移量、转移率及转移干物质对籽粒的贡献率均存在明显差异。与不施肥相比,高、中、低3个产量水平小麦品种在低养分投入时,成熟期生物量分别提高29%,22%和6%,高水平时分别提高46%,39%和23%,高产品种的生物量及其对养分投入的敏感程度明显高于低产品种。不同品种的花后干物质累积量随养分投入水平提高而增加,但花前营养器官中储存物质的转移量、转移率和对籽粒的贡献率却明显随之下降。功能叶(旗叶)在灌浆期高、中、低3个产量水平品种的SPAD值在低养分投入条件下分别为20.7、17.5和13.7;高养分投入时,分别为35、26.1和16.8。高产品种西农88的光合速率为6.0μmolCO.2m-.2s-1),中产和低产品种的平均光合速率分别为4.3μmolCO.2m-.2s-1和4.0μmolCO.2m-.2s-1,高产品种功能叶(旗叶)在灌浆期能保持较高的SPAD值和光合速率,因而花后能生产较多的干物质,但其花前干物质转移量、转移率及转移干物质对籽粒的贡献率均没有明显优势。可见,花后较高的叶绿素水平、光合速率和干物质累积是旱地小麦品种高产的重要原因。选择优良品种,采取合理的栽培措施,特别是通过养分调控保持花后具较高的干物质累积量是西北旱地进一步提高冬小麦产量的重要途径。     

Reaction of selected soybean cultivars to Rhizoctonia root rot and other damping-off disease agents

Eight soybean cultivars; Giza 21. Giza 22, Giza 35, Giza 82, Giza 83, Crawford, Holladay and Toamo were evaluated to Rhizoctonia root rot using agar plate and potted plant techniques. Data cleared that, in agar plate assay all soybean cultivars were moderately susceptible (MS), although the differences between them were significant (P=0.05). Generally, in potted assay, the reactions were resistant (R) or moderately resistant (MR) to root rots. Also, the differences between cultivars were significant (P=0.05). These cultivars were inoculated under greenhouse conditions with Fusarium solani, Macrophomina phaseolina, Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii Generally, G21 had the least pre-emergence damping-off followed by Giza 35, Crawford and Giza 83 with averages of 19.0, 20.0, 20.5 and 21.5%, respectively. In case of post-emergence, Giza 35 had the least values, followed by Giza 21, Crawford and Giza 82 with averages 3.95, 4.10, 4.10 and 4.25%, respectively. Under naturally infested soil in the field conditions the reactions of the same cultivars to damping-off were evaluated in two successive seasons. In 2002 season, G35 had the least pre-emergence damping-off % followed by Giza 21 and Giza 22 with averages of 22.61, 24.33 and 29.33%, respectively. Also, G35 had the least post-emergence damping-off % followed by Toamo and Giza 21 with averages of 9.40, 10.33 and 10.41%, respectively. In 2003 season, the same trend was appeared with light grade where Giza 35 had the least pre-emergence damping of % followed by Giza 22 and Giza 21 with averages of 30.67, 31.00 and 36.67%, respectively and Giza 35 was the most resistant cultivar against post-emergence damping-off, followed by Giza 21 and Giza 22 with averages of 10.91, 11.32 and 11.80%, respectively. Generally, Giza 21 significantly surpassed the other cultivars in plant height, number of pods per plant and 100-seed weight. Moreover, also it had second grade with the other traits.     

磷有效性对大豆根冠中碳分配的影响

在水培条件下,研究不同浓度磷影响大豆根冠中碳分配的结果表明：磷有效性对大豆根冠中碳分配的影响依赖于磷浓度与胁迫时间。磷浓度高于0．125mmol．L^-1或低磷胁迫7d以内,大豆根冠中碳分配受到的影响不显著。低磷胁迫14d的大豆的净光合速率和根呼吸速率均显著下降,根冠比显著提高。这显示长期低磷胁迫下大豆碳同化总量和根呼吸消耗的碳量虽然减少,但根系生长的碳消耗则增加,光合碳同化形成的碳水化合物向根部的分配是受到促进的。     

岩溶石漠化地区几种生态恢复植物的生理生态学特征

选择石漠化地区树种任豆树、金银花和苦丁茶的植株为对象,测定其光响应曲线和光合、蒸腾、气孔导度的日变化,研究其光合、蒸腾、气孔导度与环境因子间的关系。在岩石裸露率高、地表水缺乏、白天温度极高的石漠化地区,对任豆和苦丁茶进行光响应模拟表明,两者的最大净光合速率分别为15.88μmol.m-2.s-1、4.58μmol.m-2.s-1。从气体交换特征日变化看出,这三种植物均有光合午休现象,任豆午休程度最弱而苦丁茶最强,光合与气孔导度均呈显著的正相关关系;通过对胞间CO2浓度Ci与气孔限制Ls关系分析,任豆和金银花的光合作用上午以气孔限制为主,下午有非气孔因素影响,而苦丁茶则以非气孔限制为主。任豆树具有较高的水分利用效率,金银花次之,而苦丁茶最小。通过综合分析,认为地表缺水并不是石漠化地区简单唯一的限制因子,高温胁迫也造成该区植物同化CO2减少的原因。根系的下扎能力也应是石漠化地区植物长期存活的关键。因此通过人工诱导构建石漠化地区植物群落时一定要考虑植物本身的根系遗传性状。     

UV-B辐射对8个大豆品种种子萌发率和 幼苗生长的影响

在生长房5种(暗处、可见光、低、中、高强度紫外线-B)处理下,研究了8个大豆品种的种子萌发率和萌发后幼苗的生长状况。结果表明,暗处种子萌发率高于自然光和UV-B辐射的种子。UV-B辐射增强对大豆种子的萌发率没有显著影响,仅使部分品种的最大萌发率降低和导致部分品种达到最大萌发率的时间延长。幼苗的生长对增强的UV-B辐射非常敏感。使大部分品种的胚根变短增粗,这可能是植物激素作用的结果。大豆的叶绿素a、叶绿素b和总叶绿素含量明显受到UV-B辐射的抑制。UV-B作用能促进类黄酮在幼苗中的积累,紫外吸收色素的增设有利于提高对UV-B的抵抗力。UV-B辐射的这种效应及大豆品种间的差异在自然情况下会产生深远的生物学和生态学意义     

Photosynthesis and Other Traits in Relation to Chloroplast Number during Soybean Leaf Senescence

Soon after attaining full expansion, soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) leaves enter a senescence phase marked by decline in photosynthetic rate and the progressive loss of chloroplast activity and composition. Our primary goal was to determine if this loss could be accounted for by sequential degradation of whole chloroplasts or by simultaneous degeneration of all chloroplasts. Total photosynthesis (TPs) measured as ¹⁴CO₂ uptake, chloroplast number, ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase activity, uncoupled photosynthetic electron transport activity, soluble protein content, and chlorophyll content declined progressively during the 37 days after full leaf expansion. During this period, chloroplast number per unit leaf area was constant for all genotypes studied. We conclude that leaf senescence may be a two-stage process wherein the first stage chloroplast activity and composition declines, but chloroplast numbers do not change. During a brief terminal stage (11 days in our experiment), whole chloroplasts may be lost as well. As a second objective we wished to determine if variation in single-leaf total photosynthetic rate among soybean cultivars is related to corresponding variation in chloroplast number and/or chloroplast activity/composition. By comparing the means for three cultivars known to have rapid leaf TPs and for the three known to have slow TPs, we found the former group to be superior to the latter for all the previously mentioned leaf physiological traits. This superiority was related primarily to differences in chloroplast number and only secondarily to differences in activity and composition per chloroplast.     

Has photosynthetic capacity increased with 80 years of soybean breeding? An examination of historical soybean cultivars

Crop biomass production is a function of the efficiencies with which sunlight can be intercepted by the canopy and then converted into biomass. Conversion efficiency has been identified as a target for improvement to enhance crop biomass and yield. Greater conversion efficiency in modern soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars was documented in recent field trials, and this study explored the physiological basis for this observation. In replicated field trials conducted over three successive years, diurnal leaf gas exchange and photosynthetic CO₂ response curves were measured in 24 soybean cultivars with year of release dates (YOR) from 1923 to 2007. Maximum photosynthetic capacity, mesophyll conductance and nighttime respiration have not changed consistently with cultivar release date. However, daily carbon gain was periodically greater in more recently released cultivars compared with older cultivars. Our analysis suggests that this difference in daily carbon gain primarily occurred when stomatal conductance and soil water content were high. There was also evidence for greater chlorophyll content and greater sink capacity late in the growing season in more recently released soybean varieties. Better understanding of the mechanisms that have improved conversion efficiency in the past may help identify new, promising targets for the future.     

Leaf senescence and N uptake parameters as selection traits for nitrogen efficiency of oilseed rape cultivars

The cultivation of N-efficient oilseed rape cultivars could contribute to a reduction of the large N balance surpluses of this crop. To facilitate the breeding process of N-efficient cultivars, the identification of secondary plant traits correlating with N efficiency is necessary. The objectives of this study were to investigate leaf senescence and N uptake parameters of oilseed rape cultivars and doubled haploid (DH) lines with contrasting N efficiency in a short-term nutrient solution experiment and to relate these results to their performance in field experiments. In the nutrient solution experiment, genotypes differed in leaf senescence of fully expanded leaves and maximum N uptake rate per unit root length under low N supply. A high maximum N uptake rate seemed to have contributed to delayed leaf senescence by enhancing N accumulation in leaves. Also in the field experiments, genotypes differed in leaf senescence after flowering at limiting N supply. Additionally, the most N-efficient DH line was able to adapt leaf photosynthetic capacity to the low-light conditions in the canopy during flowering. N efficiency (grain yield at limiting N supply) was positively correlated with delayed leaf senescence both in nutrient solution and field experiments. It is concluded that important leaf and root traits of N-efficient cultivars are expressed in short-term nutrient solution experiments, which may facilitate the selection of N-efficient cultivars.     

Association mapping for seed size and shape traits in soybean cultivars

Seed size and shape traits are closely related to seed yield and appearance quality in soybean (Glycine max L.). Previous studies were mainly derived from bi-parental segregating populations and relatively little is known about the results in soybean cultivars. In this study, 257 soybean cultivars obtained by stratified random sampling from six geographic ecotypes in China were used to carry out association mapping for these traits using information from 135 simple sequence repeat markers and an epistatic association mapping approach implemented using an empirical Bayes algorithm. In this analysis, seed size was measured by seed length (SL), width (SW) and thickness (ST), and seed shape was evaluated by seed length-to-width (SLW), length-to-thickness (SLT) and width-to-thickness (SWT) ratios, in 2008–2010. A total of 59 main-effect quantitative trait loci (QTL) and 31 QTL-by-environment interactions were identified. Among them, 25 QTL were associated simultaneously with at least two traits; 80 QTL (90 %) could be confirmed by enriched compression mixed linear model analysis; and the size for a large number of detected QTL was minor, except for qSL-5, qSW-7e, qST-5-2 and qSLW-2. According to the estimates for the allelic effects of the detected QTL, elite alleles could be mined: for example, the 307-bp allele of QTL linked to satt453 was the best for seed length. These elite alleles could be used to design parental combinations; e.g., the cross of Zhenghezhibanzi and Nannongdahuangdou might improve seed length, and the combination of cultivars Lindou10, Deqingxiangzhudou, Ninghaixiazhidou, Zhenghezhibanzi, 0803, Shangqiu7605 and 0831 might pyramid 42 elite alleles.     

大豆高光效育种研究进展

多年的研究证明,提高光合效率是提高大豆产量的重要途径.在高产条件下,高光效大豆(Glycine max L. Merr.)品种与一般品种相比可提高产量30%～40%,表明高光效育种有着广阔的发展前景.高光效育种虽然未能缩短育种时间,但为达到预定的高光效目标提供了"实时"监测,可免除目标的偏离,从而达到高光效与高产的同步提高.大豆叶片与豆荚均存在着高活性的有限的C4途径循环,因此,通过常规育种或基因工程技术提高C4途径酶的表达能力,可能是提高C3植物光合效率的新突破点.

A combination of physiological and chemometrics analyses reveals the main associations between quality and ripening traits and volatiles in two loquat cultivars

A combined analysis of physiological traits, volatile composition and sensory evaluation of aromatic quality was conducted on the ‘Algerie’ and ‘Golden Nuggett’ cultivars at six maturity stages, covering colour breaking to complete ripening. The main difference between cultivars during ripening was aromatic character; organoleptic differences between cultivars were assessed by a taste panel and could be explained by the volatile profile at harvest, and more specifically by those volatiles showing a rapid increase as fruits fully ripened. Among the 121 volatile compounds identified in loquat fruits, 2-methyl butanoic acid was the only cultivar-specific VOC, detected only in ‘Algerie’, while the levels of other common VOCs also contributed to differentiation between cultivars. A correlation analysis ran between volatile compounds levels and loquat aroma and flavour intensity revealed that 1,2-dimethoxy-4-(2-methoxyethenyl)benzene, elemicin, (Z)-2-hexen-1-ol, methyl 2-methylbutanoate, methyl 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate, cis-geranylacetone, (E)-methyl cinnamate, (E)-2-decenal, cis-edulan and 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone were volatiles which could importantly contribute to loquat’s aromatic character, some of which are reported here for the first time as key volatiles in aromatic quality. The correlations among the physiological parameters, the volatile compounds and physiological traits, and the parallelisms between precursors and volatile product, are discussed as they offer clues about loquat quality-associated metabolic changes during ripening.     

Comparative analysis of embryogenic potential of soybean cultivars zoned in different eco-geographic world regions

Embryogenic potential of 19 soybean cultivars originated from different eco-geographic regions (Europe, China, America and Far East) has been established and analyzed. Cultivars TSZ-14, Amurskaja-111, Gribovskaja mestnaja were emphasized as highly embryogenic genotypes. Cultivar Mantherova biela vel. revealed the highest embryogenic potential (80%). The comparison of embryogenic potential of the Ukrainian cultivars with given data indicated various parameters which could affect the induction of soybean somatic embryogenesis. It had also been supposed that cultivars from the Far East and Europe could have the potential for further screening of new highly embryogenic genotypes. The data obtained enlarge the data base pool of the soybean somatic embryogenesis research and enable using the most appropriate cultivars for further genetic improvement.     

Effects of fully open-air [CO2] elevation on leaf ultrastructure, photosynthesis, and yield of two soybean cultivars

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of elevated (550 ± 17 ??mol mol^?1) CO₂ concentration ([CO₂]) on leaf ultrastructure, leaf photosynthesis and seed yield of two soybean cultivars [Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Zhonghuang 13 and cv. Zhonghuang 35] at the Free-Air Carbon dioxide Enrichment (FACE) experimental facility in North China. Photosynthetic acclimation occurred in soybean plants exposed to long-term elevated [CO₂] and varied with cultivars and developmental stages. Photosynthetic acclimation occurred at the beginning bloom (R1) stage for both cultivars, but at the beginning seed (R5) stage only for Zhonghuang 13. No photosynthetic acclimation occurred at the beginning pod (R3) stage for either cultivar. Elevated [CO₂] increased the number and size of starch grains in chloroplasts of the two cultivars. Soybean leaf senescence was accelerated under elevated [CO₂], determined by unclear chloroplast membrane and blurred grana layer at the beginning bloom (R1) stage. The different photosynthesis response to elevated [CO₂] between cultivars at the beginning seed (R5) contributed to the yield difference under elevated [CO₂]. Elevated [CO₂] significantly increased the yield of Zhonghuang 35 by 26% with the increased pod number of 31%, but not for Zhonghuang 13 without changes of pod number. We conclude that the occurrence of photosynthetic acclimation at the beginning seed (R5) stage for Zhonghuang 13 restricted the development of extra C sink under elevated [CO₂], thereby limiting the response to elevated [CO₂] for the seed yield of this cultivar.     

Cotton shoot plays a major role in mediating senescence induced by potassium deficiency

The objective of this study was to determine the roles of shoot and root in the regulation of premature leaf senescence induced by potassium (K) deficiency in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Two contrasting cultivars (CCRI41, more sensitive to K deficiency; and SCRC22, a less sensitive cultivar) were selected for self- and reciprocal-grafting, using standard grafting (one scion/one rootstock), Y grafting (two scions/one rootstock) and inverted Y grafting (one scion/two rootstocks) at the seedling stage. Standard grafting was studied in the field in 2007 and 2008. There were no obvious differences in senescence between CCRI41 and SCRC22 scions while supplied with sufficient K. However, SCRC22 scions showed significantly greater K content, SPAD values (chlorophyll content), soluble protein content and net photosynthetic rates than CCRI41 scions while grown in K deficient solution or soil, regardless of rootstock cultivars, grafting types, growth stage and growth conditions. Also, SCRC22 scions had greater yield and less variation in boll weight either between upper- and lower sympodials, or between proximal and distal fruit positions from the main stem in the field under K deficiency, probably owing to reduced leaf senescence. Although the effect of rootstocks on leaf senescence under K deficiency was significant in some cases, the scion cultivars explained the highest percentage of variations within grafting treatments. The shoot-to-root feedback signal(s), rather than high shoot demand for K nutrition, was involved in the shoot regulation of premature senescence in cotton plants, achieved possibly by altering root K uptake.
