Isolation and characterization of diazotrophic growth promoting bacteria from rhizosphere of agricultural crops of Korea

Free-living nitrogen fixing bacteria were isolated from rhizosphere of seven different plant namely sesame, maize, wheat, soybean, lettuce, pepper and rice grown in Chungbuk Province, Korea. Five isolates with nitrogenase activity above 150nmol(-1) mg(-1) protein were identified based on, phenotypic and 16S rDNA sequences analysis. The strains were identified as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (PM-1, PM-26), Bacillus fusiformis (PM-5, PM-24) and Pseudomonas fluorescens (PM-13), respectively. All the isolates produced indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), in the presence of tryptophan, ranging from 100.4 microg ml(-1) (PM-13) to 255 microg ml(-1) (PM-24). The isolate PM-24 (Bacillus fusiformis) exhibiting highest nitrogenase activity (3677.81 nmol h(-1) mg(-1) protein) and IAA production (255microg ml(-1)) has a promising potential for developing as a plant growth promoting rhizobacteria.     

共生条件下三种荒漠灌木的根系分布特征及其对降水的响应

以全根系挖掘法,对共生于原始盐生荒漠生境中的多枝柽柳[Tamarix ramosissima (Ledeb.)]、梭梭[Haloxylon ammodendron(C. A. Mey.)Bunge]、琵琶柴[Reaumuria soongorica (Pall.) Maxim.]的根系分布特征进行了研究;对降水引发的湿润-干旱周期中植物同化枝水势、蒸腾速率的变化过程进行了跟踪观测,并据此计算3种植物的水分胁迫效应指数和土壤-植物系统导水度,以最终确定3种植物用水策略和其对降水的响应特征.研究结果表明,多枝柽柳的吸收根系分布范围从地下50cm到310cm,单株平均总吸收根表面积为30249.2cm2;梭梭的根系分布范围0～250cm,单株平均总吸收根表面积12847.3 cm2;琵琶柴的根系分布范围0～80cm,单株平均总吸收根表面积361.8 cm2.多枝柽柳为深根植物,主要利用地下水和深层土壤水,在降水引发的湿润-干旱周期中,其植物水分生理参数对降水无响应.琵琶柴为浅根植物,对降水响应极为显著.梭梭的根系分布特征介于多枝柽柳和琵琶柴之间,对地下水和降水都有利用,对降水响应显著.3种荒漠灌木对降水的响应差异显然与其根系分布、水分利用策略密切相关,在未来降水发生变化的情景下,根系分布特征的差异将决定着植物在水分资源竞争中的地位.具有较强根系形态可塑性的物种,如梭梭,将具有明显的竞争优势.     

Water-use strategy of three central Asian desert shrubs and their responses to rain pulse events

Plant water-use strategy is considered to be a function of the complex interactions between species of different functional types and the prevailing environmental conditions. The functional type of a plant’s root system is fundamental in determining the water-use strategy of desert shrubs and the physiological responses of the plant to an occasional rainfall event, or rain pulse. In this current study of Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb. Fl.Alt., Haloxylon ammodendron (C.A.Mey.) Bunge and Reaumuria soongorica (Pall.) Maxim., three dominant shrub species in the Gurbantonggut Desert (Central Asia), plant root systems were excavated in their native habitat to investigate their functional types and water-use strategies. We monitored leaf water potential, photosynthesis and transpiration rate during a 39-day interval between successive precipitation events during which time the upper soil water changed markedly. Plant apparent hydraulic conductance and water-use efficiency were calculated for the varying soil water conditions. Our results show that: 1) The three species of shrub belong to two functional groups: phreatophyte and non-phreatophyte; 2) The photosynthetic capacity and leaf-specific apparent hydraulic conductance of the three species was stable during the time that the water condition in the upper soil changed; 3) Transpiration, leaf water potential and water-use efficiency in Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb. Fl.Alt. were stable during the period of observation, but varied significantly for the other two species. Tamarix ramosissima Ledeb. Fl.Alt., as a phreatophyte, relies mostly on groundwater for survival; its physiological activity is not inhibited in any way by the deficiency in upper soil water. Non-phreatophyte Haloxylon ammodendron (C.A.Mey.) Bunge and Reaumuria soongorica (Pall.) Maxim. use precipitation-derived upper soil water for survival, and thus respond clearly to rain pulse events in terms of leaf water potential and transpiration. The observed similarity in leaf-specific photosynthesis capacity among all three species indicates that the two non-phreatophyte species are able to maintain normal photosynthesis within a wide range of plant water status. The observed stability in leaf-specific apparent hydraulic conductance indicates that the two non-phreatophyte species are able to maintain sufficient water supply to their foliage via, mostly likely, effective morphological adjustment at the scale of the individual plant.Section editor: H.

Relationship between porewater organic carbon content, sulphate reduction and nitrogen fixation (acetylene reduction) in the rhizosphere of Zostera noltii

Depth profiles of nitrogen fixation (acetylene reduction), sulphate reduction, NH ₄ ⁺ concentration and porewater volatile fatty acids concentrations were measured in Zostera noltii colonised sediments in the Bassin d'Arcachon, France in March 1994. Acetylene reduction activity (ARA) was detectable throughout sediment profiles. Addition of sodium molybdate (20 mmol l^–1) a specific inhibitor of sulphate reduction to slurries inhibited ARA by >75% inferring that sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) were the dominant component of the nitrogen fixing microflora. The peak of ARA was coincident with that of sulphate reduction and a relatively constant relationship of 40 mole sulphate reduced per mole acetylene reduced was recorded throughout the profiles. From this ratio it was calculated that at least 17% of the ATP yield from sulphate reduction would be required to support the measured rates of nitrogen fixation (acetylene reduction).Acetate was the dominant constituent of the porewater volatile fatty acids pool, accounting for >90% of the total pool as measured by HPLC. Concentrations of porewater acetate recorded by HPLC were compared with those measured using an enzymatic technique and these data indicate that approximately 10% of the total porewater acetate pool was not available to microbial metabolism. Profiles of porewater acetate concentrations measured by both techniques were similar to those recorded for both ARA and sulphate reduction and thus acetate oxidation may fuel these activities.     

Monosoonal precipitation responses of shrubs in a cold desert community on the Colorado Plateau

South-eastern Utah forms a northern border for the region currently influenced by the Arizona monosoonal system, which feeds moisture and summer precipitation into western North America. One major consequence predicted by global climate change scenarios is an intensification of monosoonal (summer) precipitation in the aridland areas of the western United States. We examined the capacity of dominant perennial shrubs in a Colorado Plateau cold desert ecosystem of southern Utah, United States, to use summer moisture inputs. We simulated increases of 25 and 50 mm summer rain events on Atriplex canescens, Artemisia filifolia, Chrysothamnus nauseosus, Coleogyne ramosissima, and Vanclevea stylosa, in July and September with an isotopically enriched water (enriched in deuterium but not ¹⁸O). The uptake of this artificial water source was estimated by analyzing hydrogen and oxygen isotope ratios of stem water. The predawn and midday xylem water potentials and foliar carbon isotope discrimination were measured to estimate changes in water status and water-use efficiency. At. canescens and Ch. nauseosus showed little if any uptake of summer rains in either July or September. The predawn and midday xylem water potentials for control and treatment plants of these two species were not significantly different from each other. For A. filifolia and V. stylosa, up to 50% of xylem water was from the simulated summer rain, but the predawn and midday xylem water potentials were not significantly affected by the additional summer moisture input. In contrast, C. ramosissima showed significant uptake of the simulated summer rain (>50% of xylem water was from the artificial summer rain) and an increase in both predawn and midday water potentials. The percent uptake of simulated summer rain was greater when those rains were applied in September than in July, implying that high soil temperature in midsummer may in some way inhibit water uptake. Foliar carbon isotope discrimination increased significantly in the three shrubs taking up simulated summer rain, but pre-treatment differences in the absolute discrimination values were maintained among species. The ecological implications of our results are discussed in terms of the dynamics of this desert community in response to changes in the frequency and dependability of summer rains that might be associated with a northward shift in the Arizona monsoon boundary.

The photosynthetic niche breadth of several desert shrubs and their potential ecological significance

The combination of niche theories and plant ecophysiology may show a link between macroscopic ecology and microscopic physiology. The experiment simulated three rainfall treatments representing the minimum, average and maximum annual precipitation found in the Shapotou area. The net photosynthesis rate (P_n) of four dominant desert shrubs (Reaumuria soongorica maximum, Salsola passerina Bge., Artemisia ordosica Krasch. and Caragana korshinskii Komar.) that grow in the arid zone in Northwest China was measured, together with the available environmental resources, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), air temperature (CT) and volumetric soil moisture (SW). Based on these data and means derived from the Levins niche breadth index, this study calculated the photosynthesis – PAR niche breadth (PB_i), the photosynthesis – CT niche breadth (TB_i) and the photosynthesis – SW niche breadth (WBi) of the four shrubs. The results showed that PAR was not a directly limiting factor on growth and survival of the four shrubs and the values for PB_i were consistent either with the PAR response ranges (R. soongorica and S. passerina) or with the values for P_n (A. ordosica and C. korshinskii), although the values for PB_i between the four desert shrubs varied. In accordance with the calculated TB_i values, the CT tolerance ranges for photosynthesis also varied among the four desert shrubs. The lowest SWs that stopped photosynthesis varied amongst the four shrubs, and the lower the SW was: the wider the response range and the higher the WBi value. The photosynthetic niche breadth and the photosynthetic response ranges of the four shrubs were in agreement with their ecological breadth and geographic distributions. Thus, some micro-mechanisms can be explained using these relationships such as floral evolution, succession and the varietal development processes of the plant communities of R. soongorica – S. passerine and A. ordosica Krasch. – C. korshinskii Komar. It is also possible to account for the physiological changes that occur in each plant by calculating the photosynthetic niche breadth. These results show that this research methodology can be extended to niche theory and promote the practicality of plant physiological ecology as well as provide new ideas for the study of plant ecology.
