氮磷添加对巨桉幼苗生物量分配和C:N:P化学计量特征的影响

巨桉(Eucalyptus grandis)是一种优良的速生用材树种, 了解氮(N)和磷(P)对巨桉生长、养分限制、化学计量特征的影响对于科学合理施肥具有重要意义。该实验以巨桉无性系组培苗为研究对象, 通过在酸性紫色土中设置不同施N或施P梯度, 研究巨桉幼苗各器官(根、茎、叶)生物量及碳(C)、N、P的分配和化学计量特征以及巨桉生长的养分限制状况。结果表明: 施N处理对巨桉根茎叶及总生物量的影响极显著, 增加了地上部分的生物量比例而显著降低了根系的生物量比例; 施P对巨桉幼苗总生物量影响不显著, 但显著提高了根的生物量分配比例, 对茎和叶的生物量分配没有显著影响。施N或施P显著改变了巨桉幼苗的N、P含量和化学计量比, 同时也显著影响了土壤与植物N:P的关系。施N可以促使酸性紫色土条件下巨桉对N的吸收而抑制对P的吸收, 施P则促进巨桉幼苗对P的吸收。施N对巨桉幼苗根茎叶的C、N、P分配特征有极显著影响, 而施P对巨桉幼苗根茎叶的C、N、P分配没有显著影响。施N极显著降低了巨桉幼苗N的利用率, 显著提高了P的利用率, 而施P处理极显著降低了巨桉幼苗P的利用率。从巨桉生物量沿施肥梯度和N:P的变化规律可以判断, 当叶片N:P < 15时, 巨桉的生长主要受到N的限制作用。施N可以显著地提高根茎叶的N:P比值, 缓解巨桉缺N的现象, 施P则进一步加剧了N元素的缺乏。     

Symptoms of mineral nutrient deficiencies and the nutrient concentration ranges in seedlings of Eucalyptus maculata Hook.

With the establishment of plantation eucalypts around the world there is an increasing need for reference data which can be used to diagnose the nutrient status of eucalypt seedlings. Therefore, deletion glasshouse nutrient trials were set up in sand and solution culture to obtain deficiencies of N, P, K, Mg, Ca, S, Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn in the spotted iron gum (Eucalyptus maculata). Nutrient concentration ranges were obtained for leaves at defined growth stages for (a) healthy plants, (b) plants where yield was just depressed or where symptoms first appeared, and (c) plants with severe symptoms. The defined symptoms and nutrient concentration ranges should be useful in identifying single nutrient deficiencies in nursury grown seedlings or young plants with juvenile foliage in the field.     

不同水分条件下氮素供应对小麦植株氮代谢及籽粒蛋白质积累的影响

土壤水分逆境是限制小麦籽粒品质形成的重要生态因子,明确土壤水分逆境下小麦籽粒品质形成的生理机制及调优技术途径,对于深化小麦品质生理生态研究和指导小麦调优栽培具有重要的理论意义和应用前景。在防雨池栽条件下,设置渍水、干旱和对照3个水分处理,每个水分处理下再设置120和240 kg.hm-2两个施氮水平,研究了花后渍水和干旱逆境下氮素对两个籽粒蛋白质含量不同的小麦品种植株氮代谢和籽粒蛋白质积累的影响。结果表明,与正常水分处理相比,花后干旱和渍水均降低旗叶硝酸还原酶活性、叶片总氮含量和游离氨基酸含量。干旱处理提高了茎鞘总氮与游离氨基酸含量以及籽粒蛋白质含量,而渍水处理则使其降低。水分逆境下增施氮肥提高旗叶硝酸还原酶活性、叶片与茎鞘总氮和游离氨基酸含量以及籽粒游离氨基酸和蛋白质含量。花后干旱和渍水均显著降低了小麦籽粒产量和蛋白质产量。增施氮肥提高适宜水分和水分亏缺条件下小麦籽粒产量,但不利于渍水下小麦产量的提高。这说明,花后渍水和干旱逆境下施用氮肥对小麦植株氮代谢和籽粒蛋白质积累有明显的调节效应。     

Distribution,length and weight of roots in young plantations ofEucalyptus grandis W. Hill ex Maiden irrigated with recycled water

Summary The root systems ofEucalyptus grandis W. Hill ex Maiden, irrigated with recycled municipal effluent at two sites in north-western Victoria, Australia, were studied by excavation and coring. Trees at Robinvale were four years-old and were irrigated using micro-sprays that covered only 70% of the ground surface area, whereas at Mildura, effuent was uniformly was uniformly applied to six years-old trees by flood and sprinkler irrigation. At Mildura where roots were excavated from a 2.80×2.80×1.20 m block of soil, a total root length of 1193 m.m⁻² and a total root weight of 3.1 kg m⁻² were estimated in the top metre. For roots >1 mm diameter, 77% of intercepts were at 0–30 cm, whereas only 50% were in the 50–100 cm soil horizon. At both sites where roots in the top 30 cm were studied by coring, the vertical distributions of root intercepts, length and weight were similar. Root length was greatest in the 0–10 cm soil horizon at both sites, and intercepts of roots <1 mm diameter comprised 73% and 81% of all roots at Mildura and Robinvale respectively. Roots <1 mm diameter contributed 85% of total length at both sites, but only 19% and 21% of total weight at Mildura and Robinvale respectively. The horizontal distribution of roots differed at the two sites. With uniform application of effuent at Mildura, root intercepts and length were concentrated in the centre of the irrigation bay, but at Robinvale, the concentration occurred closer to the tree row due mainly to the different method of irrigation. Root weight at both sites was highest within 50 cm of the tree row. Root densities of 0.11 to 0.57 cm cm⁻³ were estimated in the two plantations; these were similar to root densities measured inPinus radiata D. Don plantations up to 46 months old, but were considerably lower than those estimated for pastures. The implications of the results for the management of irrigated plantations of eucalypts are discussed.     

Effect of elevated atmospheric CO2 on mycorrhizal colonization, external mycorrhizal hyphal production and phosphorus inflow in Plantago lanceolata and Trifolium repens in association with the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae

Plantago lanceolata and Trifolium repens were grown under ambient (400 μmol mol^–1) and elevated (650 μmol mol^–1) atmospheric CO₂ conditions. Plants were inoculated with the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae and given a phosphorus supply in the form of bonemeal. Six sequential harvests were taken in order to determine whether the effect of elevated CO₂ on internal mycorrhizal colonization and external hyphal production was independent of the stimulatory effect of elevated CO₂ on plant growth. At a given time, elevated CO₂ increased the percentage of root length colonized (RLC), the total length of colonized root and the external mycorrhizal hyphal (EMH) density and decreased the ratio of EMH to total length of colonized root. When plant size was taken into account, the CO₂ effect on RLC and total length of colonized root was greatly reduced (and only apparent for early harvests in T. repens) and the effects on the EMH parameters disappeared. Root tissue P concentration was unchanged at elevated CO₂, but there was a decrease in shoot P at the later harvests. There was no direct effect of elevated CO₂ on P inflow for the earlier period (< 50 d) of the experiment. However, over the last period, there was a significant negative effect of elevated CO₂ on P inflow for both species, independent of plant size. It is concluded that elevated CO₂ had no direct effect on mycorrhizal colonization or external hyphal production, and that any observed effects on a time basis were due to faster growing plants at elevated CO₂. However, for older plants, elevated CO₂ had a direct negative effect on P inflow. This decrease in P inflow coincides with the observed decrease in shoot P concentration. This is discussed in terms of downregulation of photosynthesis often seen in elevated CO₂ grown plants, and the potential for mycorrhizas (via external hyphal turnover) to alleviate the phenomenon. The direction for future research is highlighted, especially in relation to carbon flow to and storage in the soil.     

外源葡萄糖对山定子生长及根系氮素代谢的影响

以有机质含量仅为0.65%的低碳冲积沙土为栽培基质,以当年生山定子幼苗为试材,分别添加与土壤本体微生物生物量碳(MBC)等量的碳量(2 g·kg^-1)、5倍MBC碳量(10g·kg^-1)的葡萄糖,以不添加葡萄糖为对照,处理后0~30 d内定期采集根系样品,研究外源葡萄糖对低碳土壤中山定子幼苗生长、根系构型及氮素代谢的影响.结果表明:5倍MBC碳源处理后山定子幼苗的株高、总生物量、总根长和根表面积分别显著增加12.3%、26.4%、23.2%和14.6%,而茎粗、根体积和平均直径无显著变化.等量及5倍MBC碳源处理均显著提高了山定子的根系活力,分别在第3和15天达到峰值,高于对照119.1%和75.7%.在整个处理期间,等量及5倍MBC碳源处理显著增加了根中NO_3^-、NO_2^-和NH_4^+含量;整体上,等量及5倍MBC碳源处理均显著增强根系中硝酸还原酶、谷氨酰胺合酶、谷氨酸脱氢酶、谷氨酸合酶、谷草转氨酶和谷丙转氨酶的活性,其中5倍MBC处理的作用最显著.5倍MBC的外源葡萄糖浓度更有利于促进低碳土壤中山定子根系中氮素的吸收代谢过程,诱导植株生长、干物质积累和根系构型改变.     

Effects of applied nitrogen upon aspects of nitrogen metabolism and transport in developing nodulated winged bean plants

Nodulated winged bean [Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC., cv. UPS 122] were grown under constant environmental conditions and supplied with mineral nutrient solution in which nitrogen was absent or was present as nitrate (12 mg N week^-1 plant^-1). Nitrate treatment dramatically promoted plant growth, increased fruit weight 1.6 fold, was necessary for tuberisation and enhanced nodulation. The in vitro accumulation of ¹⁴C into asparagine and aspartate components of excised nodules supplied with exogenous ¹⁴CO₂ and [¹⁴C]-D-glucose was greater for nitrate-treated plants, whilst accumulation into ureides was reduced by nitrate treatment. Levels of amino acids in xylem sap were greater for plants supplied with a complete nutrient solution, than those grown without applied nitrate, particularly for asparagine, glutamine and proline. Xylem ureide levels were greater for plants grown in the absence of supplementary nitrate. Nitrogen accumulated in leaf, stem and petiole, and root nodule tissues for utilisation during fruit development; peak nitrogen levels and time of anthesis were retarded for plants grown without applied nitrate. The shoot ureide content increased during fruiting, coincident with decreases in the total nitrogen content, indicating that ureide pools are not utilised during the early reproductive phase. However ureide reserves, particularly allantoin, were utilised during the later stages of pod fill. Enzyme activity which metabolised asparagine was found throughout the plant and was identified as K⁺-dependent asparaginase (EC 3.5.1.1) and an aminotransferase. Apart from temporal differences in developmental profiles of enzyme activity, the activity of these enzymes and of allantoinase (EC 3.5.2.5) in developing tissues were similar for both treatments. The main differences were greater asparaginase and asparagine:pyruvate aminotransferase activities in root tissues and fruit of nitrate-supplied plants; allantoinase activity in the primary roots of plants grown without nitrate decreased during development, whilst activity in developing tubers (nitrate-supplied plants) increased.     

Effect of nitrogen limitation and nature of the feed upon Oenococcus oeni metabolism and extracellular protein production

AIMS: The aim of the study was to characterize the effect of various nitrogen sources on Oenococcus oeni growth, carbon source utilization, extracellular protease activity and extracellular proteins. More generally, the goal is to understand how nitrogen-based additives might act to enhance malolactic fermentation in wine. METHODS AND RESULTS: Five yeast extracts were used. As the amino acid and nitrogen analyses revealed, they were similar in global amino acid composition, except for arginine level. Nevertheless the ratio of amino acids between free/bound, and low/high molecular weight fractions were highly different. One of the yeast extracts led to a significant protease activity in the supernatant and to a poor final biomass of the IOB84.13 strain compared to the other ones. For the IOB84.13 strain specifically, arginine addition to the arginine poor yeast extract did not restore growth. 35S-methionine-labelled extracellular proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE. Signals were detected in all media early in the growth phase and were maintained during 48 h of culture. CONCLUSIONS: A significant protease activity was detected for O. oeni supernatants during growth under nitrogen limitation but only for certain nitrogen sources. Moreover, the activity was strain dependent. Peptides (0.5-10 kDa) seemed to be more favourable for growth of wine bacteria than <0.5 kDa nitrogen sources. The extracellular protein signal patterns differed more greatly between the bacterial strains tested than between the nitrogen molecules in the medium. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This is the first study extensively considering the role of the nitrogen source composition and level upon O. oeni growth and metabolism.     

Effects of nitrogen supply rate on photosynthesis,nitrogen uptake and growth of seedlings in a Eucalyptus/Dalbergia odorifera intercropping system

• The introduction of N₂-fixing species into a Eucalyptus plantation resulted in a successful planting system. It is essential to understand the contribution of nitrogen (N) competition and photosynthetic efficiency to plant dry matter yield to shed more light on the growth mechanism of the Eucalyptus/legume system.
• We compared N competition, photosynthesis and dry matter yield of Eucalyptus urophylla × E. grandis and the N₂-fixing tree species Dalbergia odorifera in intercropping and monoculture systems under different N levels.
• The photosynthesis of E. urophylla × E. grandis was improved, while that of D. odorifera was inhibited in the intercropping system. Intercropped E. urophylla × E. grandis increased the N utilization and the dry matter yield by 6.57–48.46% and 7.59–97.26%, and decreased those of D. odorifera by 10.21–30.33% and 0.48–13.19%, respectively. Furthermore, N application enhanced the competitive ability of E. urophylla × E. grandis relative to D. odorifera and changed the N contents and chlorophyll synthesis to optimize the photosynthetic structure of both species.
• Our results reveal Eucalyptus for photosynthesis, N absorption and increasing the growth benefit from the introduction of N₂-fixing species, which hence can be considered to be an effective sustainable management option of Eucalyptus plantations.

     

The role of mitochondria in leaf nitrogen metabolism

For optimal plant growth and development, cellular nitrogen (N) metabolism must be closely coordinated with other metabolic pathways, and mitochondria are thought to play a central role in this process. Recent studies using genetically modified plants have provided insight into the role of mitochondria in N metabolism. Mitochondrial metabolism is linked with N assimilation by amino acid, carbon (C) and redox metabolism. Mitochondria are not only an important source of C skeletons for N incorporation, they also produce other necessary metabolites and energy used in N remobilization processes. Nitric oxide of mitochondrial origin regulates respiration and influences primary N metabolism. Here, we discuss the changes in mitochondrial metabolism during ammonium or nitrate nutrition and under low N conditions. We also describe the involvement of mitochondria in the redistribution of N during senescence. The aim of this review was to demonstrate the role of mitochondria as an integration point of N cellular metabolism.

聚球藻7942混养培养中碳代谢与能量利用

为了考察聚球藻7942在混养条件下的能量利用效率,分别以葡萄糖和乙酸为碳源开展了聚球藻7942的混养培养研究,并在此基础上利用代谢通量分析方法对聚球藻7942混养条件下的碳代谢和能量利用进行了探讨。结果表明:葡萄糖和乙酸均能促进藻细胞生长,且乙酸促进藻细胞生长的作用更为明显;葡萄糖利用可明显增加藻细胞糖酵解途径中碳代谢流量,而乙酸利用则导致糖酵解途径中碳代谢流量减小,两种有机碳源均增加了柠檬酸循环中碳代谢流量;有机碳源导致藻细胞光化学效率下降,而葡萄糖较之乙酸降低藻细胞光化学效率更为明显。虽然混养条件下光能的贡献率要小于光自养,但基于能量的细胞得率和能量转换率均高于光自养,光自养和以葡萄糖、乙酸为碳源的混养中基于ATP生成的能量转换效率分别为6.81%、7.43%和8.77%。     

亚低温条件下外源褪黑素对甜瓜幼苗氮代谢及渗透调节物质的影响

以甜瓜品种‘羊角酥瓜’幼苗为试材,利用人工气候室进行亚低温处理(昼/夜18 ℃/ 12 ℃)6 d,研究外源褪黑素（MT）对亚低温条件下甜瓜幼苗叶片氮代谢酶\[硝酸还原酶(NR)、谷氨酰胺合成酶(GS)、谷氨酸合酶(GOGAT)和谷氨酸脱氢酶(GDH)\]活性、叶片总氮、铵态氮、硝态氮和渗透调节物质含量的影响.结果表明：与对照相比,亚低温处理降低了甜瓜总氮、硝态氮及硝酸还原酶活性,增加了铵态氮含量,抑制了甜瓜幼苗的生长.外源MT可显著提高亚低温下甜瓜幼苗氮代谢酶的活性,尤其可显著提高叶片GS和GOGAT活性,从而有效降低铵态氮含量;外源MT还可以提高叶片脯氨酸、可溶性蛋白质和可溶性糖的含量,进而降低了亚低温对细胞膜的伤害,表现为甜瓜叶片相对电导率和丙二醛(MDA)含量较低.总之,在亚低温条件下,外源MT在一定程度上可通过降低甜瓜叶片铵态氮含量和促进渗透调节物质的积累,降低膜质过氧化水平,从而增加其对亚低温的适应性.     

外源Spd对盐碱胁迫下番茄幼苗氮代谢及主要矿质元素含量的影响

采用水培方法,研究了盐碱与Spd处理对两品种番茄（中杂9号和金棚朝冠）幼苗氮代谢及主要矿质元素含量的影响.结果表明： 盐碱胁迫下,番茄幼苗干生物量显著减少,植株生长受到抑制;叶片和根系硝酸还原酶（NR）、谷氨酰胺合成酶（GS）、谷氨酸合成酶（GOGAT）活性及硝态氮（NO₃^--N）、全N、全K、Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺含量显著降低,铵态氮（NH₄⁺-N）、Na⁺含量显著增加;两品种叶片及中杂9号根系谷氨酸脱氢酶（GDH）活性显著升高,金棚朝冠根系GDH活性变化不显著;叶片全P含量显著降低,根系全P含量显著升高（金棚朝冠）或无显著变化（中杂9号）.Spd处理通过增强NR、GS、GOGAT活性提高了植株对NH₄⁺的同化利用率,有效缓解了盐碱胁迫导致的氮代谢紊乱,进而促进不同器官对P、K、Ca、Mg、Na的吸收、释放或转运,在一定程度上维持了各元素之间的相对平衡,从而增强植株对逆境的适应能力.此外,盐碱对中杂9号的抑制作用及外源Spd对其氮代谢紊乱和营养失衡的缓解作用高于金棚朝冠.     

Effect of enhanced atmospheric CO2 on mycorrhizal colonization by Glomus mosseae in Plantago lanceolata and Trifolium repens

Plantago lanceolata L. and Trifolium repens L. were grown for 16 wk in ambient (360 μmol mol⁻¹) and elevated (610 μmol mol⁻¹) atmospheric CO₂. Plants were inoculated with the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus mosseae (Nicol. & Gerd.) Gerdemann & Trappe and given a phosphorus supply in the form of bonemeal, which would not be immediately available to the plants. Seven sequential harvests were taken to determine whether the effect of elevated CO₂ on mycorrhizal colonization was independent of the effect of CO₂ on plant growth. Plant growth analysis showed that both species grew faster in elevated CO₂ and that P. lanceolata had increased carbon allocation towards the roots. Elevated CO₂ did not affect the percentage of root length colonized (RLC); although total colonized root length was greater, when plant size was taken into account this effect disappeared. This finding was also true for root length colonized by arbuscules. No CO₂ effect was found on hyphal density (colonization intensity) in roots. The P content of plants was increased at elevated CO₂, although both shoot and root tissue P concentration were unchanged. This was again as a result of bigger plants at elevated CO₂. Phosphorus inflow was unaffected by CO₂ concentrations. It is concluded that there is no direct permanent effect of elevated CO₂ on mycorrhizal functioning, as internal mycorrhizal development and the mycorrhizal P uptake mechanism are unaffected. The importance of sequential harvests in experiments is discussed. The direction for future research is highlighted, especially in relation to C storage in the soil.
