Dynamic of polysaccharide and lipid in the developing microsporangiums of Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata)

Microsporongium development in Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) was investigated using cytochemical methods with a special attention to the fluctuations (in amount and distribution) of polysaccharide and lipid reserves along the development of the microsporangium. Semi-thin sections of microsporangia at different developmental stages were stained with periodic acid–Schiff (PAS) reagent and Sudan Black B to detect insoluble polysaccharides and neutral lipids, respectively. In young microsporangia, microspore mother cells began to accumulate starch grains and lipids, which disappeared during microspore development. Following microspore division, the starch grains present in bicellular pollen disappeared and abundant lipid deposits were accumulated. In mature pollen, only abundant lipids accumulated as storage material. The pollen wall of C. lanceolata is predominantly composed of polysaccharidic intine, and the sporopollenin-containing exine is weakly developed and only forms a thin layer covering the intine.     

Autoinhibition and soil allelochemical (cyclic dipeptide) levels in replanted Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) plantations

Aims and background

Despite increasing knowledge of the role of allelochemicals in the productivity decline of replanted Chinese fir plantations, relatively little is known about the levels and sources of allelochemicals in relation to autoinhibition.

Methods

Allelopathic potential of litter, root exudates, and soils in successive rotations of Chinese fir plantations were detected. An allelochemical cyclic dipeptide (6-hydroxy-1,3-dimethyl-8-nonadecyl-[1,4]-diazocane-2,5-dione) from litter, root exudates, and soils in successive rotations was quantified.

Results

Extracts of leaf litter, fine root, and root exudates significantly inhibited the growth of Chinese fir germinants, and inhibition increased with successive rotations. Similar results were observed in the rhizosphere soil, basal soil, and bulk soil. The largest observed inhibition occurred in the rhizosphere soil. Furthermore, cyclic dipeptide was found in litter, root exudates, and soils, and the concentrations increased with successive rotations. The rhizosphere soil had the highest cyclic dipeptide level, followed by basal soil, while bulk soil contained the lowest concentration. There was a significant positive relationship between the inhibition of radicle growth of Chinese fir germinants and the concentration of cyclic dipeptide. Annual release of cyclic dipeptide through root exudation was 2.08–9.78 mol ha^?1 annum, but the annual release of cyclic dipeptide through leaf litter decomposition was lowered to 0.32–1.41 mol ha^?1 annum.

Conclusions

Cyclic dipeptide which caused autoinhibition of Chinese fir may be released into the soil through litter decomposition and root exudation. Root exudates provided more contributions to soil cyclic dipeptide levels than litter in Chinese fir plantations.     

Proteomic analysis of seed development in Chinese fir (<Emphasis Type=Italic>Cunninghamia lanceolata</Emphasis>)

Seed development is a complex process governed by highly coordinated changes in the expression of a large protein set. DIGE (Difference Gel Electrophoresis)-based proteomics was used to study developing Chinese fir seeds. 153 spots were obtained by using the analysis of DeCyder software (v. 6.5). Cluster analysis showed that they could be joined into three main groups. Eleven spots, more actively expressed at early cotyledonary stage of developing seeds, were identified by LC/MS/MS (tandem MS). Ten spots were identified by searching NCBInr or EST databases. They included two legumin-like storage proteins, LEA protein, small heat-shock protein, PR10-1.13, a protein similar to eukaryotic translation initiation factor, a protein similar to maternal effect embryo arrest 51, ORF115, a protein similar to monodehydroascorbate reductase, and unknown proteins. The potential function of these proteins during the precotyledonary stage of seed development was discussed.     

Nonlinear Mixed-Effects (NLME) Diameter Growth Models for Individual China-Fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) Trees in Southeast China

An individual-tree diameter growth model was developed for Cunninghamia lanceolata in Fujian province, southeast China. Data were obtained from 72 plantation-grown China-fir trees in 24 single-species plots. Ordinary non-linear least squares regression was used to choose the best base model from among 5 theoretical growth equations; selection criteria were the smallest absolute mean residual and root mean square error and the largest adjusted coefficient of determination. To account for autocorrelation in the repeated-measures data, we developed one-level and nested two-level nonlinear mixed-effects (NLME) models, constructed on the selected base model; the NLME models incorporated random effects of the tree and plot. The best random-effects combinations for the NLME models were identified by Akaike''s information criterion, Bayesian information criterion and −2 logarithm likelihood. Heteroscedasticity was reduced with two residual variance functions, a power function and an exponential function. The autocorrelation was addressed with three residual autocorrelation structures: a first-order autoregressive structure [AR(1)], a combination of first-order autoregressive and moving average structures [ARMA(1,1)] and a compound symmetry structure (CS). The one-level (tree) NLME model performed best. Independent validation data were used to test the performance of the models and to demonstrate the advantage of calibrating the NLME models.

UV-B辐射对杉木凋落叶分解的影响

采用分解袋法对自然和UV-B辐射滤减环境下的杉木凋落叶进行分解试验.结果表明:与对照相比,UV-B辐射滤减处理使杉木凋落叶的分解速率降低了69.6%(P<0.001),凋落叶中氮、磷和木质素的相对含量分别增加150%、83.3%和13.8%,抑制了钾和碳的释放.木质素光降解在杉木凋落叶分解过程中的作用不明显.UV-B辐射可以加快杉木凋落叶的分解,促进氮、磷、钾和碳的释放,以及杉木林凋落物层的营养周转速度,增加地表的碳通量,对杉木林的碳源或碳汇功能具有潜在的影响.     

杉木人工林冰雪灾害受灾和萌生情况调查及影响因子分析

以九龙山国家级自然保护区的主要公益林杉木人工林作为研究对象,选择具有代表性的受灾区域,自海拔700 m至900 m设置样地,共10块样地,总面积4 000 m2。分析其受2008年初严重冰雪灾害破坏及灾后萌生情况与胸径、树高、尖削度、海拔之间的关系。结果表明： 1）杉木人工林损害严重,其中断冠、断干植株比例较高,而掘根和冻死植株相对较少;杉木具有极强的萌生能力,以断冠杉木的萌生能力最强。2）不同胸径、树高、尖削度的杉木对于冰雪灾害的抵御能力及萌生能力存在一定差异,小径级矮小的个体受灾较重,易被冻死和掘根,大径级的较高个体受灾相对较轻,主要表现为断冠和断干危害,且不同径级下的受灾杉木上部萌生均占较大比例。3）杉木的抵御能力和萌生能力与海拔存在一定的关系,高海拔地区杉木受灾较重,而中海拔地区的杉木萌生能力相对较强。     

Biomass and nutrient dynamics of Chinese fir seedlings under conventional and exponential fertilization regimes

Containerized Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb) Hook) were reared from seed at four fertilizer levels (0, 15, 45, 75 mg N seedling-1 season-1) and two topdressing schedules (conventional or exponential) for a 22-week greenhouse rotation to assess growth, nutrition and nutrient loading capacity of seedlings. Extra P supplemented high fertilization (or nutrient loading) treatments to test for induced deficiency of this element. The schedule and rate of fertilization significantly affected growth and nutrient dynamics of the seedlings. Steady-state nutrition and superior growth performance were achieved by seedlings fertilized exponentially at the operational dose (15 mg N), yielding 23, 72 and 52% more in respective biomass, N uptake and P uptake than seedlings fertilized conventionally at the equivalent dose. The improved growth and fertilizer efficiency were attributed to close synchronization of exponential nutrient supply with exponential growth and nutrient demand of plants. High dose exponential fertilization (45 and 75 mg N) induced steady state-nutrition late in the season, increasing seedling N and P uptake by 72–83% and 50–96% compared to low dose exponential fertilization, demonstrating effective nutrient loading of plants without changing biomass. The extra P stimulated P uptake without altering growth or N uptake, thus P was probably not limiting during the greenhouse culture despite high N additions.     

Natural Forest Biomass Estimation Based on Plantation Information Using PALSAR Data

Forests play a vital role in terrestrial carbon cycling; therefore, monitoring forest biomass at local to global scales has become a challenging issue in the context of climate change. In this study, we investigated the backscattering properties of Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) Phased Array L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR) data in cashew and rubber plantation areas of Cambodia. The PALSAR backscattering coefficient (σ⁰) had different responses in the two plantation types because of differences in biophysical parameters. The PALSAR σ⁰ showed a higher correlation with field-based measurements and lower saturation in cashew plants compared with rubber plants. Multiple linear regression (MLR) models based on field-based biomass of cashew (C-MLR) and rubber (R-MLR) plants with PALSAR σ⁰ were created. These MLR models were used to estimate natural forest biomass in Cambodia. The cashew plant-based MLR model (C-MLR) produced better results than the rubber plant-based MLR model (R-MLR). The C-MLR-estimated natural forest biomass was validated using forest inventory data for natural forests in Cambodia. The validation results showed a strong correlation (R² = 0.64) between C-MLR-estimated natural forest biomass and field-based biomass, with RMSE  = 23.2 Mg/ha in deciduous forests. In high-biomass regions, such as dense evergreen forests, this model had a weaker correlation because of the high biomass and the multiple-story tree structure of evergreen forests, which caused saturation of the PALSAR signal.     

不同发育阶段杉木人工林对土壤微生物群落结构的影响

采用变性梯度凝胶电泳技术(DGGE),分析土壤细菌16S rDNA和土壤真菌28SrDNA特异性片段多态性,研究了不同发育阶段杉木人工林对土壤微生物群落结构的影响.结果表明:土壤微生物群落结构随着杉木人工林的发育年龄而改变,杉木人工林土壤微生物群落多样性和丰富度随杉木生长发育显著增加(P<0.05),但均显著低于次生阔叶林(P<0.05);聚类分析表明,不同发育阶段杉木人工林土壤真菌群落相似性均<60%,而土壤细菌群落相似性最高可达65%,由此可推测不同发育阶段杉木人工林土壤真菌群落结构变化较土壤细菌群落结构变化剧烈;相关性分析表明,不同发育阶段杉木人工林土壤速效氮、碳氮比与土壤微生物群落多样性显著相关(P<0.05).本研究表明,长期种植单一杉木人工林能够通过改变土壤理化性质来影响土壤微生物群落组成,进而影响森林生态系统养分循环,导致人工林林分生产力下降.

Genetic diversity and multilocus associations in Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook from The People's Republic of China

Open-pollinated seeds were assayed for allozyme polymorphisms at 24 loci to assess genetic diversity and multilocous associations in 16 populations of Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook in the People's Republic of China. On average, the percentage of polymorphic loci was 88.0, the number of alleles per locus was 3.0, and the expected heterozygosity was 0.394. The distribution of genetic diversity was not correlated with the geographic and climatic variables of the populations. However, allele frequencies correlated linearly with the mean annual temperature of the populations at Mdh-1, Mdh-2, Mnr-2, Pgi-1, and Skdh-1 and with the altitude of the populations at Aph-4 and 6Pg-2. Of the total gene diversity 6% was attributed to among-population differentiation; 94% resided within populations. Two-locus gametic disequilibria were found in 15 of the 16 populations, and higher-order gametic disquilibria were significant in most populations. The gametic disequilibria did not correlate with geographic and climatic variables. The results suggest that population subdivision, founder effect, occurrence across diverse environments, a mating system dominated by inbreeding, and historical events from 2000 years of cultivation are contributing factors in the generation and maintenance of the multilocus genetic structure in this conifer.
