荒漠植物白刺属4个物种的生殖分配比较

选定乌兰布和沙漠地区白刺属4种植物为研究对象,通过对其样株在花期的各生殖构件的数量特征及生物量调查,系统研究了唐古特白刺(Nitraria tangutorum Bobr.)、西伯利亚白刺(Nitraria sibirica Pall.)、大白刺(Nitraria roborowskii Kom.)和泡泡刺(Nitraria sphaerocarpa Maxim.)4种白刺属植物在生殖枝水平上的生殖分配。结果表明:不同白刺属植物在分株高度、生殖枝长、生殖枝基径、单枝花数、花序干重、枝叶干重等生殖构件的数量性状方面均有显著差异,其中泡泡刺的各生殖构件的数量均最小;除了西伯利亚白刺的生殖分配值达到44.51%外,其余3种白刺的生殖分配值均没有超过20%。经统计分析,4种白刺种群的生殖枝长分别与分株高度呈显著(P<0.05)的直线性正相关关系;生殖枝花序干重与分株高显著正相关;4种白刺的生殖分配随着分株生殖枝生物量的增加而减少,即白刺的个体大小与生殖分配之间呈现负相关关系。这种生殖分配特点反映了不同白刺植物对生长环境的资源利用、与克隆繁殖的权衡及对生态适应的策略。

两种生境中薇甘菊种群的生物量生殖分配

于2004年薇甘菊（Mikania micrantha）生殖阶段的现蕾期至种子成熟期,从种群和构件水平上研究了两种生境（林窗和开阔地）中薇甘菊种群的生物量生殖分配。结果表明,在生殖生长过程中,两种生境中的种群用于营养生长的生物量分配均占有绝对优势,而生殖生长的波动相对较大。花序的生物量分配（RA）总体上均呈现由低到高的变化趋势。在不同时期,林窗薇甘菊种群的营养枝生物量分配均小于开阔地,而除了种子形成期和种子成熟期以外的其它各个时期,林窗中生殖枝的生物量分配均大于开阔地,林窗中花序的生物量分配均显著大于开阔地。表明薇甘菊能有效权衡其在不同生境中的繁殖策略,开阔地中的薇甘菊种群的繁殖策略倾向于克隆繁殖,而林窗生境中薇甘菊种群则相对更倾向于有性生殖。     

古尔班通古特沙漠三种生境下梭梭种群的生殖分配特征

对古尔班通古特沙漠梭梭种群进行样地调查,从各构件生物量分配特征、开花和结果特征、不同发育阶段的生殖分配、同化枝与生殖生物量之间关系等方面研究了3种生境下梭梭种群的生殖分配特征。结果表明:3种生境中各构件生物量分配格局均具有显著差异,且变化趋势不一致,梭梭平均生殖分配在0.64%～1.5%;3种生境下,梭梭开花和结果特征均具有显著差异,表现出砾石生境>沙质生境>土质生境。不同生境梭梭生殖分配均随径级的增加变化不同,砾石生境和沙质生境样地随着径级的增加而降低,而土质生境样地随着径级的增加而增加;不同生境类型下梭梭同化枝、生殖生物量与径级的关系不同;梭梭的生殖分配和同化枝生物量之间呈线性或多项式正相关。

为探索棉花短季直播高产栽培模式,采用多因子最优混合设计(311设计)研究了播期、栽培密度和施氮量对早熟品种JX0010的农艺性状、干物质积累分配的影响。结果表明,不同处理对棉花生育进程有一定影响,播种期是影响棉花生育期的主要因子,各处理生育进程随播种期的推迟而缩短。不同处理株高、果枝层数、果枝始节、果节数差异都达到了显著水平,栽培因子对株高、果枝始节高度、果节数的影响大小顺序为密度施氮量播期,对果枝层数影响的顺序为播期密度施氮量,适量的施氮、合理密植以及适当推迟播期能增大植株高度,增加棉株果节数。不同处理棉花地上部分单株干物质积累、群体干物质积累、单株营养器官干物质积累、生殖器官干物质积累变化趋势基本呈"S"型,不同处理干物质分配系数表现出随着生育进程的推进,营养器官所占比重降低,生殖器官所占比重逐渐升高的趋势。     

Branching habit and the allocation of reproductive resources in conifers

Background and Aims Correlated relationships between branch thickness, branch density, and twig and leaf size have been used extensively to study the evolution of plant canopy architecture, but fewer studies have explored the impact of these relationships on the allocation of reproductive resources. This study quantifies pollen cone production in conifers, which have similar basic reproductive biology but vary dramatically in branching habit, in order to test how differences in branch diameter influence pollen cone size and the density with which they are deployed in the canopy. Methods Measurements of canopy branch density, the number of cones per branch and cone size were used to estimate the amount of pollen cone tissues produced by 16 species in three major conifer clades. The number of pollen grains produced was also estimated using direct counts from individual pollen cones. Key Results The total amount of pollen cone tissues in the conifer canopy varied little among species and clades, although vegetative traits such as branch thickness, branch density and pollen cone size varied over several orders of magnitude. However, branching habit controls the way these tissues are deployed: taxa with small branches produce small pollen cones at a high density, while taxa with large branches produce large cones relatively sparsely. Conclusions Conifers appear to invest similar amounts of energy in pollen production independent of branching habit. However, similar associations between branch thickness, branch density and pollen cone size are seen across conifers, including members of living and extinct groups not directly studied here. This suggests that reproductive features relating to pollen cone size are in large part a function of the evolution of vegetative morphology and branching habit.     

不同地理种源紫茎泽兰的生态适应性比较

采用交互移植法,对移栽在6种不同生境中的5个不同种源紫茎泽兰幼苗的存活率、株高、分枝数、生物量、单株花序数、产种量和种子萌发率进行了为期1年的对比研究.结果表明：各种源紫茎泽兰的幼苗生长和繁殖特性对样地环境条件变化均表现出很强的可塑性.试验样地因素对幼苗株高、分枝数、生物量、单株花序数和产种量的影响均达到极显著水平(P＜0.001).随着样地纬度和海拔的升高,各种源的幼苗株高、分枝数量、单株生物量、每株花序数量和单株产种量均呈下降趋势,且各样地间的差异均达到显著水平(P＜0.05).但种源因素对幼苗株高、分枝数、生物量、单株花序数和产种量的影响均不显著（P＞0.05）.除单株产种量外,种源与试验样地的交互作用对上述各指标的影响均不显著.在各样地内,当地种源幼苗的存活率、生长能力和繁殖能力均未表现出显著的优势.说明紫茎泽兰在我国西南地区入侵成功主要依靠其较高的表型可塑性,而局域适应的作用相对较小.

Floral sex allocation at individual and branch levels in Betula platyphylla var. japonica (Betulaceae), a tall, wind-pollinated monoecious tree species

Floral sex allocation at the individual and first-order branch levels and the relation between these levels were examined in Betula platyphylla var. japonica, a wind-pollinated monoecious tree. Floral sex allocation at the individual level varied with resource availability in a pattern similar to that predicted by the Masaka and Takada model (Journal of Theoretical Biology 240: 114-125). Thus, individual trees with few reproductive resources produced only female or male inflorescences, whereas individuals with many resources rarely had a high male ratio (i.e., number of male inflorescences/total number of inflorescences). Furthermore, the number of male inflorescences tended to reach an upper limit, whereas the number of female inflorescences increased monotonically with increasing reproductive investment. The patterns of floral sex allocation at the first-order branch level were analogous to those at the individual level. Thus, each first-order branch of B. platyphylla var. japonica behaves like an individual, and the floral sex allocation of a given branch does not necessarily represent the individual tree. The effect of the individual-level floral sex ratio on branch-level floral sex allocation indicates that branch behavior is controlled by the individual.     

Habitat quality and among-population differentiation in reproductive effort and flowering phenology in the perennial herb <Emphasis Type="Italic">Primula farinosa</Emphasis>

In heterogeneous environments, selection on life-history traits and flowering time may vary considerably among populations because of differences in the extent to which mortality is related to age or size, and because of differences in the seasonal patterns of resource availability and intensity of biotic interactions. Spatial variation in optimal reproductive effort and flowering time may result in the evolution of genetic differences in life-history traits, but also in the evolution of adaptive phenotypic plasticity. The perennial herb Primula farinosa occurs at sites that differ widely in soil depth and therefore in water-holding capacity, vegetation cover, and frost-induced soil movement in winter. We used data from eight natural populations and a common-garden experiment to test the predictions that reproductive allocation is negatively correlated with soil depth while age at first reproduction and first flowering date among reproductive individuals are positively correlated with soil depth. In the common-garden experiment, maternal families collected in the field were grown from seed and monitored for 5 years. In the field, reproductive effort (number of flowers in relation to rosette area) varied among populations and was negatively related to soil depth. In the common-garden experiment, among-population differences in age at first reproduction, and reproductive effort were statistically significant, but relatively small and not correlated with soil depth at the site of origin. Flowering time varied considerably among populations, but was not related to soil depth at the site of origin. Taken together, the results suggest that among-population variation in reproductive effort observed in the field largely reflects phenotypic plasticity. They further suggest that among-population differentiation in flowering time cannot be attributed to variation in environmental factors correlated with soil depth.     

Colony size, reproductive success, and colony choice in Cave Swallows Petrochelidon fulva

We investigated how annual reproductive success, as measured by the number of nestlings surviving to day 10 and the percentage of nests that were successful, varied with colony size of the Cave Swallow Petrochelidon fulva in south central Texas. We also studied whether Cave Swallows chose colonies, in part, on the basis of reproductive success at a site the previous year. Neither measure of reproductive success varied significantly with colony size for either first-wave or second-wave nestings. Mean clutch size per colony did not vary significantly with colony size. Mean nestling body mass, an index of parental foraging efficiency, was unrelated to colony size, except for broods of five, in which nestling mass declined significantly with colony size. Colony size was not significantly affected by reproductive success at the site the previous year, although sites with more successful nests during the first wave declined less in size during the second wave within the same season than did sites that had fewer successful first-wave nests. Unlike the closely related Cliff Swallow Petrochelidon pyrrhonota , Cave Swallows did not use breeding performance of conspecifics in choosing nest-sites, because they did not preferentially aggregate at sites that were the most successful the previous year. Coloniality in Cave Swallows did not appear to have a net negative effect on annual fitness, suggesting that colonial nesting was not solely a response to nest-site limitation, but the benefits of breeding colonially (if any) were unclear.     

内蒙古库布齐沙地和呼和浩特平原黑线仓鼠种群繁殖特征的比较

为了解不同地理种群在适应当地栖息环境过程中的差异,于１９９６年利用直线夹地对内蒙古呼和浩特平原和由齐沙地环境,两个种群基因交流严重受阻的黑线仓鼠种群生殖特征进行了比较研究,结果表明,雌雄必比在平原环境较大,且秋季雌性明显增多,沙地环境全年维持稳定,平原环境雄性睾丸下降率在各季高于沙地环境近２０％。平原环境雌性在夏季性成熟率较高,沙地环境季最高。平原环境中雌性怀孕率为春、夏季较高,沙地环境仅在春季最高,且小胎仔（窝仔数少于４）所占缃例较高（１９．５％）,两个种群平均胎仔数分别为６．０（平原）和５．９（沙地）,这一结果说明不同地理种群生殖特性的差异受环境条件限制明显。     

不同密度猪毛菜形态结构性状及生物量分配策略的异速关系

植物的生长特性随环境条件的变化具有可塑性,而不同的环境因素对植物可塑性的影响也不尽相同。利用异速分析的方法,通过模拟退化草地恢复过程中猪毛菜（Salsola collina）的不同种群密度（16、44、100、400株/m²）,研究其形态结构性状及生物量分配策略的异速关系在种群密度间的差异。结果表明,种群密度增大能抑制猪毛菜的生长,而且对猪毛菜的株高、根长、一级分枝数、二级分枝数、三级分枝数以及总分枝长均产生了极显著的影响,表明种群密度的变化使得植物的高生长和侧向生长发生了显著变化。种群密度的变化也引起了植物生物量的变化,其中植物根、茎、叶间的生物关系是一种表观可塑性,植物的生长策略未发生改变,只是植物个体大小发生改变引起的生物量分配的变化。植物株高、总分枝长、一级分枝数及繁殖分配的变化,是由种群密度变化引起的,植物的适应策略发生了改变,是真正的可塑性。种群密度改变了植物的繁殖分配策略,而未改变植物叶的分配策略,说明当环境发生变化时,植物调整了其繁殖策略以适应环境因素的改变,以保证种群的生存繁衍。
