植物在山地环境中生存不仅受到海拔等大尺度地形因子的影响,坡位等小尺度地形因子也会对植物产生影响.不同坡位上光照、温度、土壤养分和水分等均会影响到植物的资源利用策略.为比较不同坡位对辽东栎资源利用策略的影响,在北京东灵山海拔1000～1800 m的辽东栎分布范围内针对比叶面积、叶氮含量和叶干物质含量3个重要的叶属性进行了研究.ANOVA统计分析发现,地形和土壤养分及水分等环境因子在不同坡位上出现变化,但只有土壤有机质含量有显著差异.在叶属性中,干物质含量在上坡位最高,下坡位最低,在坡位间差异极显著.比叶面积与叶干物质含量在不同坡位间均成反比关系,在上坡位比叶面积变化一定的情况下,叶干物质含量的变化幅度最小;而比叶面积与叶氮含量仅在上坡位成反比关系.这些结果说明坡位对辽东栎的叶属性有一定的影响,尤其是上坡位的影响最大. 相似文献

Aims Using leaf spectral reflectance to detect plant status in real time and non-destructively is a new method of forest drought assessment, but each spectral index possesses considerable moisture sensitivity. Therefore, determining moisture index applicable to tree leaf and its sensitive spectral index are both very important. Methods This study selected Quercus aliena var. acuteserrata leaves in different growth stages and canopy positions as the research object, and measured leaf moisture index and its synchronous reflectance spectral response curve during the dehydration process, explored the relationship between changes of leaf spectral reflectance and water status, compared and evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of correlation between the moisture indices of leaves in different growth stages and space positions and different spectral reflectance indices. Important findings Results indicated: (1) The variability of relative water content (RWC) and equivalent water thickness (EWT) in different growth stages and canopy positions was smaller than specific leaf water content (SWC) and leaf moisture percentage on fresh quality (LMP) as measured by the four different moisture indices. RWC and EWT could steadily characterize the holistic water status of trees, and they had greater spectral sensitivity. Therefore, they were suitable for application in remote sensing detection. (2) Spectral reflectance difference analysis and spectral reflectance sensitivity analysis showed that the leaf spectral sensitivity is strongly influenced by growth stage. In short wave infrared region, spectral reflectance of mature leaves changed slightly in the initial stage of dehydration stress, but new expended leaves showed obvious spectral differences during the dehydration process. (3) Through the correlation analysis between 15 different spectral indices and moisture indices, we found that water index (WI)-RWC and double difference index (DDn (1530,525))-EWT has higher correlation. The fitted relations of WI-RWC are greatly influenced by leaf growth stage and canopy position, while those of DDn(1530,525)- EWT are more stable. 相似文献

Abstract 1. The form of asymmetry in bilateral organs usually follows the same pattern within single populations. However, some exceptions may occur when a population consists of different phenotypes that are from different ontogenic backgrounds and under different selective pressures. We investigated the asymmetric patterns of mandibles of larvae, females, and males in the stag beetle Prosopocoilus inclinatus. 2. Larval mandibles exhibited directional asymmetry both in length and cross direction, whereas female mandibles showed directional asymmetry in cross direction. These asymmetric structures might be more effective in cutting wood fibres. 3. For the relation of male mandible length to body size, a model with a switch point showed a better fit to the data than a convex curve model. This shows that the males are dimorphic with two distinct morphs. 4. The form of asymmetry in male mandible length differed between the morphs. The smaller males exhibited left‐biased directional asymmetry in common with larvae, whereas the larger males exhibited fluctuating asymmetry. 5. This is a novel finding of a morph‐dependent asymmetry. The morph‐dependent asymmetry in males may be as a result of different selection on each morph or a developmental constraint from larval mandibles to adult ones. 相似文献

区域尺度上栓皮栎叶性状变异及其与气候因子的关系 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
叶片在长期进化过程中对环境变化敏感且对气候变化的响应表现出表型可塑性。栓皮栎(Quercus varaibilis)是亚洲大陆地理分布最广泛的树种之一,横跨温带和亚热带地区。本文在中国中东部区域内,选取了25个天然栓皮栎林种群,测量了其叶柄长度、叶片长度、叶片宽度、叶片面积、叶片干重等,并计算了比叶面积和叶形指数(叶片长宽比)等叶性状特征,探讨了区域尺度上叶片性状变异与气候因子关系的格局。结果表明,栓皮栎叶片性状在种群间和种群内均存在显著的变异;叶片宽度与年均温度呈显著的负相关,叶片宽度和叶片面积与纬度均呈显著正相关,说明叶宽及叶片面积相对于其他指标对气候因子的影响变化更敏感,并且在这一区域尺度上温度影响着叶片大小的变异格局。本研究结果为在全球气候变化背景下了解区域尺度上栓皮栎对环境变化的适应与响应机制提供了基础。 相似文献

Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) represents small, random variation from symmetry in otherwise bilaterally symmetrical characters. Significant increases in FA have been found for several species of plants and animals in response to various stresses, including environmental and genetic factors. In this study, we investigated the effects of elevated CO2 on leaf symmetry of two oak species, Quercus geminata and Q. myrtifolia, and the responses of three species of leaf miners and one gall‐making species to random variation in leaf morphology. Leaf FA decreased with an increase in CO2 concentration. There were fewer asymmetric leaves and lower levels of asymmetry on leaf width and leaf area on elevated CO2 compared with ambient CO2. Leaf miners responded to leaf asymmetry, attacking asymmetric leaves more frequently than expected by chance alone. Differences in secondary chemistry and nitrogen (N) content between symmetric and asymmetric leaves may be responsible for these results due to lower levels of tannins and higher levels of N found on asymmetric leaves of Q. myrtifolia and Q. geminata. 相似文献

Abstract: In densely populated areas autochthonous Quercus robur L. (pedunculate oak) and Q. petraea (Matt.) Liebl. (sessile oak) (Fagaceae) populations have been maintained as ancient devastated woodlands. The continuous cutting, grazing and resprouting of such woodlands has enabled the development of clonal structures. For conservation purposes, an analysis of the actual number, size and spatial distribution of clones is necessary, especially when there is an interest in genetic variation of the population. This study describes for the first time - based on microsatellite and AFLP™ analysis - clones in an autochthonous mixed Q. robur and Q. petraea population that has been coppiced and grazed for several centuries. Based on six microsatellite loci and 69 polymorphic AFLP markers, only 14 unique genotypes were detected in a plot that consisted of 80 trees. Clones were observed for both Q. robur and Q. petraea. The largest clone diameters were observed for Q. robur, with distances up to 5.8 m. The observed clone sizes may indicate the age of the trees. 相似文献

Optimal plant growth form should vary across environments. We examined the potential for mutations causing large changes in growth form to produce new optimal phenotypes across light environments. We predicted that the upright growth form would be favoured in a light limiting environment as leaves were in a position to maximize light interception, while a rosette (leaves in a basal position) growth form would be favoured in a high light environment. Growth form genotypes of Brassica rapa (upright wild-type and rosette mutants) and Arabidopsis thaliana (large rosette wild-type and increasingly upright growth form mutants) were grown in a greenhouse in control (ambient) and filtered (low) light treatments. Compared to upright genotypes, rosette genotypes had relatively high fitness in control light but had a relatively large fitness reduction in filtered light. Our results demonstrate the potential importance of rapid growth form evolution in plant adaptation to new or changing environments. 相似文献

The canopies of large broad‐leaf trees exhibit significant heterogeneity in both micro‐environmental conditions and leaf morphology. Whether the visible differences in the size and shape of leaves from the top and bottom of the crown are determined prior to bud break or result from different patterns of leaf expansion is not known. Analysis of ontogenetic changes of both the degree of lobing and vein density in Quercus rubra demonstrates that leaves throughout the crown are identical in size and shape at the time of bud break. Morphological adaptation to the local micro‐environment takes place during the expansion phase and starts after the determination of the vascular architecture has been completed. Leaves from the bottom of the crown undergo greater expansion in the tissue close to the main veins than occurs either in the more peripheral tissue of the same leaf or anywhere in leaves from the top of the crown. This results in a water transport system that is well suited to the low evaporative rates near the bottom of the crown, but inadequate for the conditions found at the top of the tree. Acclimation of leaf form and function based upon differential expansion may be entirely driven by the local hydraulic demand during the expansion phase, resulting in leaf size and vein density being determined during development by the same hydraulic properties which will constrain the size of leaf that can be functionally supported at maturity. 相似文献

The structure of compound leaves provides flexibility for morphological change by variation in the shapes, sizes and arrangement of leaflets. Here, we conduct a multilevel analysis of shape variation in compound leaves to explore the developmental plasticity and evolutionary potential that are the basis of diversification in leaf shape. We use the methods of geometric morphometrics to study the shapes of individual leaflets and whole leaves in 20 taxa of Potentilla (sensu lato). A newly developed test based on the bootstrap approach suggests that uncertainty in the molecular phylogeny precludes firm conclusions whether there is a phylogenetic signal in the data on leaf shape. For variation among taxa, variation within taxa, as well as fluctuating asymmetry, there is evidence of strong morphological integration. The patterns of variation are similar across all three levels, suggesting that integration within taxa may act as a constraint on evolutionary change. 相似文献

The mechanisms of shoot growth inhibition under salt-stress are not yet understood. Comparative evaluation of growth tolerance level of plant material used for mechanistic studies into stress effect on growth processes is a critical step towards establishing a plant model system for studies of stress effects on growth.In the present study, numerous vegetative shoot-growth parameters were evaluated as criteria for determination of shoot growth sensitivity of avocado rootstocks (Persea americana Mill.) to salt-stress. Seven different West-Indian rootstocks were investigated for their growth response to the stress. The plants, grown in 50 L soil-filled containers, were treated with 4 mM Na and 6 mM Cl (control) or 18 mM Na and 20 mM Cl (salt) for a period of 3 years. Changes in trunk diameter, branch diameter, number of new branches, branch fresh weight (FW) and dry weight (DW), leaf length, leaf area, leaf number, leaf FW and DW and distribution of the leaf population into size classes, were quantified during the season of rapid shoot growth, and used for grading growth sensitivity.The seven rootstocks studied were ranked according to the sensitivity of their vegetative growth to the stress. The order of sensitivity was found to be similar when the ranking was based on changes in DW and FW deposition per branch, cumulative leaf area and leaf weight per branch, or branch stem weight. Stress effects on leaf FW deposition were similar to the effect on total branch FW. Stress effects on branch stem FW were closely related to total branch DW deposition. Inhibition of cumulative leaf area per branch was less sensitive to the stress than deposition of FW or DW biomass. Biomass production per branch, or alternatively leaf biomass production per branch, is suggested as a practical parameter for evaluation of avocado rootstock shoot growth sensitivity to salt-stress. 相似文献

Early molecular markers for flatfish metamorphosis and eye migration must be linked to the ethmoid region, the earliest part of the flatfish cranium to change, as well as chondral and dermal ossification processes. Serial sections, morphological landmarks, and stereology were used to determine where and when the remodeling of tissues and asymmetry occurs in the head region of metamorphosing Atlantic halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossus. Not all parts of the head remodel or migrate, and those that do may be asynchronous. Normal metamorphosis limits the torsion of the Atlantic halibut head to the anterior part of the neurocranium and excludes the tip of the snout and the general jaw area. The first cranial structure displaying eye migration-related asymmetric development is the paraethmoid part of the ethmoid cartilage. In early eye migration the medial frontal process moves apace with the eyes, whereas near completion the migrating eye moves significantly closer to the frontal process. Structures of the jaw remain mostly symmetrical, with the exception of the adductor mandibulae muscle and the bone maxillare, which are larger on the abocular than on the ocular side, the muscle occupying the space vacated by the migration of the eye. Thus, normal eye migration involves a series of temperospatially linked events. In juveniles lacking eye migration (arrested metamorphosis), the dermal bone, the prefrontal, does not develop. The two abnormal paraethmoids develop symmetrically as two plate-like structures curving anteriorly, whereas normal elongate fused paraethmoids curve at their posterior. The abocular side retrorbital vesicles are largest in volume only after the completion of normal eye migration. Factors involved in completion of normal metamorphosis and eye migration in flatfish affect chondral and dermal ossification signals in the ethmoid group, as well as remodeling of the mineralized frontal, a series of linked events not involving the entire neurocranium. 相似文献

Developmental stability, canalization, and phenotypic plasticity are the most common sources of phenotypic variation, yet comparative studies investigating the relationships between these sources, specifically in plants, are lacking. To investigate the relationships among developmental stability or instability, developmental variability, canalization, and plasticity in plants, we conducted a field experiment with Abutilon theophrasti, by subjecting plants to three densities under infertile vs. fertile soil conditions. We measured the leaf width (leaf size) and calculated fluctuating asymmetry (FA), coefficient of variation within and among individuals (CVintra and CVinter), and plasticity (PIrel) in leaf size at days 30, 50, and 70 of plant growth, to analyze the correlations among these variables in response to density and soil conditions, at each of or across all growth stages. Results showed increased density led to lower leaf FA, CVintra, and PIrel and higher CVinter in fertile soil. A positive correlation between FA and PIrel occurred in infertile soil, while correlations between CVinter and PIrel and between CVinter and CVintra were negative at high density and/or in fertile soil, with nonsignificant correlations among them in other cases. Results suggested the complexity of responses of developmental instability, variability, and canalization in leaf size, as well as their relationships, which depend on the strength of stresses. Intense aboveground competition that accelerates the decrease in leaf size (leading to lower plasticity) will be more likely to reduce developmental instability, variability, and canalization in leaf size. Increased developmental instability and intra‐ and interindividual variability should be advantageous and facilitate adaptive plasticity in less stressful conditions; thus, they are more likely to positively correlate with plasticity, whereas developmental stability and canalization with lower developmental variability should be beneficial for stabilizing plant performance in more stressful conditions, where they tend to have more negative correlations with plasticity. 相似文献

Developmental stability is the tendency of morphological traits to resist the effects of developmental noise, and is commonly evaluated by examining fluctuating asymmetry (FA)-random deviations from perfect bilateral symmetry. Molecular mechanisms that control FA have been a long-standing topic of debate in the field of evolutionary biology and quantitative genetics. In this study, we mapped genomic regions associated with effects on the mean and FA of morphological traits, and characterized the trait specificity of those regions. A collection of isogenic deficiency strains established by the DrosDel project was used for deficiency mapping of genome regions associated with effects on FA. We screened 435 genome deficiencies or approximately 64.9% of the entire genome of Drosophila melanogaster to map the region that demonstrated a significant effect on FA of morphological traits. We found that 406 deficiencies significantly affected the mean of morphological traits, and 92 deficiencies increased FA. These results suggest that several genomic regions have the potential to affect developmental stability. They also suggest the possibility of the existence of trait-specific and trait-nonspecific mechanisms for stabilizing developmental processes. The new findings in this study could provide insight into the understanding of the genetic architecture underlying developmental stability. 相似文献

The expression of inducible morphological defenses in Daphnia in response to a single predator is a well-known phenomenon. However, predator-specific modifications of the same defensive traits as an adaption to different predator regimes is so far only described for Daphnia barbata. It is unknown if this accounts only for this species or if it is a more widespread, general adaptive response in the genus Daphnia. In the present study, we therefore investigated whether a clone of the pond-dwelling species Daphnia similis responds to different predatory invertebrates (Triops cancriformis; Notonecta maculata) with the expression of predator-specific modifications of the same defensive traits. We showed that Triops-exposed individuals express a significantly longer tail-spine, while body width decreased in comparison to control individuals. Additionally, they also expressed inconspicuous defenses, that is, significantly longer spinules on the dorsal ridge. The Notonecta-exposed D. similis showed a significantly longer tail-spine, longer spinules and a larger spinules bearing area on the dorsal ridge than control individuals as well. However, a geometric morphometric analysis of the head shape revealed significant, predator-specific changes. Triops-exposed individuals expressed a flattened head shape with a pronounced dorsal edge, while Notonecta-exposed individuals developed a high and strongly rounded head. Our study describes so far unrecognized inducible defenses of D. similis against two predators in temporary waters. Furthermore, the predator-dependent change in head shape is in concordance with the ‘concept of modality’, which highlights the qualitative aspect of natural selection caused by predators. 相似文献

Competition for water availability was studied in a mixed natural stand of Quercus suber L. and Quercus cerris L. growing in Sicily by measuring diurnal changes of leaf conductance to water vapour ( g L ), water potential ( Ψ L ) and relative water content ( RWC ) in April, July and October 1997 as well as the seasonal changes in root hydraulic conductance per unit leaf surface area ( K RL ). Quercus cerris behaved as a drought-tolerant species, with strong reductions of K RL , Ψ L , and RWC in the summer. By contrast, Q. suber appeared to withstand summer drought by an avoidance strategy based on reducing g L , maintaining Ψ L and RWC high and K RL at the same level as that measured in the spring. A 'conductance ratio' ( CR ) was calculated in terms of the ratio of g L to K RL . Seasonal changes of this ratio contrasted in the two species, thus suggesting that Q. suber and Q. cerris did not really compete for available water. In the summer, when Q. suber was extracting water from the soil to maintain high leaf hydration, Q. cerris had restricted water absorption, thus suffering drought but tolerating its effects. The possibility that cohabitation of drought-tolerant with drought-avoiding species can be generalized is also discussed. 相似文献
