河西干旱区白芍养分吸收规律与药效成分积累的关系研究

为揭示河西干旱区白芍干物质积累及营养元素吸收特征和药效成分累积规律,明确影响药效成分积累的营养元素种类,科学制定白芍施肥方案和规范化种植。以甘肃省古浪县古丰镇芍药产业基地4年生白芍为研究对象,通过田间试验测定白芍不同生长期干物质积累特征以及根中9个营养元素含量和3类药效成分含量,并分析白芍根中有效成分含量与营养元素的相关关性。结果表明：（1）随着生育期延续,白芍根部干物质积累先下降后上升,全株干物质积累量逐渐增加,出苗后90-130 d是白芍干物质积累最快的时期,占总积累量的79.29 %,是白芍生长的关键时期。（2）白芍地上部氮、钾含量总体呈下降趋势,而磷素含量总体呈明显增加趋势,而根部氮、磷含量总体呈减少趋势,钾含量变化不明显;地上部和根氮累积总量分别在出苗后130 d和150d达到最高。地上部磷积累量在出苗后150 d达到最大,根部磷积累量分别在出苗后30 d、150 d达到高峰,地上部和根部钾积累量分别在出苗后70 d和150 d达到高峰。地上部氮、钾含量在不同生长时期均高于根部,其磷含量则在出苗后90 d前低于根部,在出苗后110 d后高于根部。（3）根中芍药苷、芍药内酯苷积累量均先升高后降低,最后趋于稳定,多糖积累量表现为高-低-高的变化趋势。（4）芍药苷含量与氮、钙、铜含量呈极显著正相关,与钾含量呈显著正相关,芍药内脂苷含量与氮、钾、钙、铜含量呈极显著正相关,而芍药多糖与各营养元素含量之间没有相关性。可见,白芍氮、磷、钾营养最大效率期在出苗后110～150 d,适时追加氮、钾肥有利于根部生物量的积累,施肥中添加Ca、Cu元素能有效促进白芍药效成分的积累;河西冷凉山区白芍宜在9月中下旬（9月16日以后）采挖。     

供磷水平对米老排苗木生长及养分状况的影响

为探讨供磷(P)对米老排(Mytilaria laosensis)生长和养分状况的影响,采用土培的方法,研究了不同供磷水平下米老排苗木的生长、养分含量、养分累积量和P吸收效率。结果表明,随着供P水平的提高,米老排苗木的苗高、生物量和养分累积量均呈先上升后下降的趋势;地径呈先增加后稳定的趋势;叶片和全株中的养分含量变化一致,氮(N)含量变化不明显,钾(K)含量呈先降低后升高的趋势,而P含量明显提高;P吸收效率呈现降低-升高-降低的趋势。在单株供P为30 mg时,米老排苗木的叶生物量、根生物量、叶片中N累积量及P吸收效率最大。当供P水平达到45 mg时,米老排苗木的苗高、茎生物量、总生物量、叶片中的P、K累积量和全株中的N、P、K累积量均达到最大值。而供P水平达60 mg时,米老排苗木苗高、生物量、养分累积量和P吸收效率均明显下降。这说明适合米老排苗木生长的供P水平为每株30~45 mg。     

How do plants respond to nutrient shortage by biomass allocation?

Plants constantly sense the changes in their environment; when mineral elements are scarce, they often allocate a greater proportion of their biomass to the root system. This acclimatory response is a consequence of metabolic changes in the shoot and an adjustment of carbohydrate transport to the root. It has long been known that deficiencies of essential macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium) result in an accumulation of carbohydrates in leaves and roots, and modify the shoot-to-root biomass ratio. Here, we present an update on the effects of mineral deficiencies on the expression of genes involved in primary metabolism in the shoot, the evidence for increased carbohydrate concentrations and altered biomass allocation between shoot and root, and the consequences of these changes on the growth and morphology of the plant root system.     

Mathematical Modeling of the Dynamics of Plant Mineral Nutrition in the Fertilizer–Soil–Plant System

A numerical simulation of the spatial–temporal dynamics of a multi-parameter system has been developed. The components of this system are plant biomass, the mobile and stationary forms of mineral nutrition elements, rhizosphere microorganisms, and environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, and acidity). Parametric identification and verification of the adequacy of the model were carried out based on the experimental data on the growth of Krasnoufimskaya-100 spring wheat on peat lowland soil. The results are represented by temporal distributions of biomass from agricultural crops and the findings on the contents of the main nutrition elements within the plant (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium). An agronomic assessment and interpretation of the results are given.

     

Fire-induced nutrient losses in a phryganic (East meditteranean) ecosystem

After a fire in a phryganic ecosystem, the nutrient losses in above-ground plant biomass, in nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) were quantitatively different. The most important is that of nitrogen (96%), followed by magnesium (59%), potassium (54%) and calcium (36%) while phosphorus content remained constant. Removal of these elements took place through fire's smoke.     

Biomass and photosynthetic productivity of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) as affected by nutrient supply and mirid (Eccritotarus catarinensis) biocontrol

The biological control of water hyacinth is affected by water nitrogen and phosphorus content and this was investigated experimentally at five levels of nutrient supply by measuring plant photosynthetic and growth responses, and mirid reproduction and herbivory of nutrient treated plants. Low nitrogen (2–0.2 mg L⁻¹) and phosphorus (0.2–0.01 mg L⁻¹) supply decreased hyacinth photosynthesis, growth and biomass accumulation relative to plants supplied 200 mg L⁻¹ N and 20 mg L⁻¹ P. This effect depended more on nitrogen supply than phosphorus supply. Chlorophyll fluorescence showed that the photosynthetic light reactions of low nutrient plants were affected and leaves had decreased chlorophyll content, density of functional photosystems II and dissipated a greater proportion of absorbed energy as heat. Gas exchange parameters showed reduced carboxylation efficiency, rates of RuBP regeneration and light saturated photosynthetic rates, but not quantum yields. Effects on photosynthesis translated into lower plant dry biomass. Mirid herbivory exacerbated the effects of low nutrients noted for chlorophyll fluorescence, gas exchange parameters and biomass accumulation, however, these effects were not always significant and there was no obvious correlation between the level of nutrients supplied and the effect of mirid herbivory. Low nutrient supply did, however, affect mirid performance reducing the number of adult insects, nymphs and herbivory intensity suggesting that in the long-term mirid populations would be significantly affected by water nutrient status.

Understanding the significance of sulfur in improving salinity tolerance in plants

Salinity is a major abiotic stress factor affecting plant growth and productivity worldwide. The salinity-induced reduction in photosynthesis, growth and development of plants is associated with ionic/osmotic effects, nutritional imbalance or oxidative stress. Plants develop several mechanisms to induce tolerance to overcome salinity effects. Of the several possible mechanisms to reduce the effects of salinity stress, management of mineral nutrients status of plants can be the efficient defense system. Sulfur (S) is an important plant nutrient involved in plant growth and development. It is considered fourth in importance after nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. It is an integral part of several important compounds, such as vitamins, co-enzymes, phytohormones and reduced sulfur compounds that decipher growth and vigor of plants under optimal and stress conditions. The present review focuses on improving our understanding on the salinity effects on physiology and metabolism of plants and the importance of sulfur in salinity tolerance.     

Removal of nitrogen and phosphorus by Eucalyptus and Populus at a tertiary treated municipal wastewater sprayfield

Various progenies of Eucalyptus grandis and E. amplifolia, and clones of Populus deltoides, were evaluated for plant removal of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) for 26 months at a municipal waste spray field in north Florida. Tertiary treated wastewater containing 2.73 mg L(-1) nitrate N and 0.30 mg L(-1) total P was applied using sprinkler irrigation (93.8 m3 ha(-1) d(-1)) to fast growing trees utilized for bioenergy. Eucalyptus amplifolia and E. grandis survived and grew very poorly as the result of severe winter injury in two successive years and were not evaluated for nutrient removal. Survival and growth of P. deltoides demonstrated suitability for phytoremediation, and selected clones were evaluated for biomass and nutrient content. Removals of total N (TN) and total P (TP) were greatest for main stem (36% and 44%, respectively) and foliage (44% and 36%, respectively). Low biomass producing clones generally had higher nutrient concentrations, but high biomass producing clones removed more TN and TP. Approximately 789 kg ha(-1) TN and 103 kg ha(-1) TP were removed by the highest biomass producing P. deltoides clone, representing 215% of N and 615% of P inputs.     

Summer and autumn activity patterns in the Vicuña

Airborne input of minerals essential for plant growth is significantly more important for the Amazonian rain forest than elsewhere. Annual rates have been calculated to an average of 26.9 kg/ha/yr for phosphate phosphorus and 12.6 kg/ha/yr for potassium. Other nutrients show a similar amount. If these values are representative for Amazonia as a whole, the total amount of nutrient influx via the air (dry input and precipitation) attains a magnitude, which may be well above the level for assuming a local South American source of origin. Phosphate and potassium alone give an average of 15 to 25 million tons per year. It is concluded, therefore, that dust from the Sahara carried by the trade winds provides the bulk of this mineral input, thus influencing the stability and productivity of the Amazonian rain forest. If this conclusion holds true, the pleistocene forest dynamics in Amazonia should have been influenced not only by changes in the amount of rain fall, but also by the transatlantic transport of nutrients.     

Accumulation and Retranslocation of Mineral Nutrients in Developing Needles in Relation to Seasonal Growth of Young Radiata Pine Trees

The growth, accumulation and movement of mineral nutrients (nitrogen,phosphorus, potassium (calcium) and chlorophyll in needles ofyoung radiata pine trees (Pinus radiata D. Don) were examined,from bud break in spring through the following year. Retranslocationof nutrients from needles was measured and is discussed in relationto nutrient requirements for seasonal growth. During the first 4–5 months after bud break when mostneedle growth occurred, all nutrients and chlorophyll accumulatedprogressively, although the concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorusand potassium decreased. During summer, substantial amounts of phosphorus were withdrawnfrom needles less than 6 months old, regardless of positionon the tree and silvicultural practice. In young needles andunder certain environmental conditions, this led to a markedtemporary decline in concentrations, even in fertilized treeson a fertile site. However, the phosphorus content of needleswas quickly restored following autumn rains. Similar fluctuations,including nutrient withdrawal in summer, occurred for nitrogenand potassium, but these were smaller than those observed forphosphorus. Phosphorus was also withdrawn from relatively olderneedles during summer. It was estimated that on a tree basis 86, 48 and 39 per centof the phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium, respectively, insummer shoots could have come from the retranslocation of nutrientsfrom young needles formed during the preceding spring. These results highlight the importance of nutrients stored inneedles to meet the nutrient requirements for growth when environmentalfactors may not be conducive to nutrient uptake from the soil.

Complementary Models of Tree Species–Soil Relationships in Old-Growth Temperate Forests

Ecosystem-level studies identify plant–soil feedbacks as important controls on soil nutrient availability, particularly for nitrogen and phosphorus. Although site- and species-specific studies of tree species–soil relationships are relatively common, comparatively fewer studies consider multiple co-existing species in old-growth forests across a range of sites that vary in underlying soil fertility. We characterized patterns in forest floor and mineral soil nutrients associated with four common tree species across eight undisturbed old-growth forests in Oregon, USA, and used two complementary conceptual models to assess tree species–soil relationships. Plant–soil feedbacks that could reinforce site-level differences in nutrient availability were assessed using the context-dependent relationships model, whereby relative species-based differences in each soil nutrient diverged or converged as nutrient status changed across sites. Tree species–soil relationships that did not reflect strong feedbacks were evaluated using a site-independent relationships model, whereby forest floor and surface mineral soil nutrient pools differed consistently by tree species across sites, without variation in deeper mineral soils. We found that the organically cycled elements carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus exhibited context-dependent differences among species in both forest floor and mineral soil, and most often followed a divergence model, whereby species differences were greatest at high-nutrient sites. These patterns are consistent with theory emphasizing biotic control of these elements through plant–soil feedback mechanisms. Site-independent species differences were strongest for pools of the weatherable cations calcium, magnesium, potassium, as well as phosphorus, in mineral soils. Site-independent species differences in forest floor nutrients were attributable to one species that displayed significantly greater forest floor mass accumulation. Our findings confirm that site-independent and context-dependent tree species-soil relationships occur simultaneously in old-growth temperate forests, with context-dependent relationships strongest for organically cycled elements, and site-independent relationships strongest for weatherable elements with inorganic cycling phases. These models provide complementary explanations for patterns of nutrient accumulation and cycling in mixed-species old-growth temperate forests.     

The microalga Parachlorella kessleri––A novel highly efficient lipid producer

The alga Parachlorella kessleri, strain CCALA 255, grown under optimal conditions, is characterized by storage of energy in the form of starch rather than lipids. If grown in the complete medium, the cultures grew rapidly, producing large amounts of biomass in a relatively short time. The cells, however, contained negligible lipid reserves (1–10% of DW). Treatments inducing hyperproduction of storage lipids in P. kessleri biomass were described. The cultures were grown in the absence or fivefold decreased concentration of either nitrogen or phosphorus or sulfur. Limitation by all elements using fivefold or 10‐fold diluted mineral medium was also tested. Limitation with any macroelement (nitrogen, sulfur, or phosphorus) led to an increase in the amount of lipids; nitrogen limitation was the most effective. Diluted nutrient media (5‐ or 10‐fold) were identified as the best method to stimulate lipid overproduction (60% of DW). The strategy for lipid overproduction consists of the fast growth of P. kessleri culture grown in the complete medium to produce sufficient biomass (DW more than 10 g/L) followed by the dilution of nutrient medium to stop growth and cell division by limitation of all elements, leading to induction of lipid production and accumulation up to 60% DW. Cultivation conditions necessary for maximizing lipid content in P. kessleri biomass generated in a scale‐up solar open thin‐layer photobioreactor were described. Biotechnol.

Study of the Effect of Phosphorus on Mineral Nutrition of Faba Bean « Vicia fabae L.»

Our study focuses on the study of the phosphorus efficiency on the mineral nutrition of a leguminous plant; to study this efficiency, we tested the effect of increasing doses of phosphorus on the mineral nutrition of faba bean and on the concentration of Nt (total nitrogen), Pi (available phosphorus), KE (exchangeable potassium), C (organic carbon), and the organic matter (OM) rate in the rhizospheric soil after harvest, as well as the concentration of N, P, K, Na, and Ca in the roots, stems, leaves, and seeds of faba bean. The faba bean crop was subjected to four phosphorus doses (P0?=?0 kg/ha; P1?=?70 kg/ha; P2?=?140 kg/ha; P3?=?210 kg/ha). The main results obtained showed that the concentration of the mineral elements in the different faba bean parts reacted differently to the phosphorus treatments. Regarding the dosage of nutrients in the different parts of the faba bean, the results obtained highlight that Pi deficiency in the soil does not only affect phosphate nutrition but can also affect the absorption of other mineral elements, a synergy is recorded between the K concentration in the roots and in the stems with the organic carbon in the soil, and an antagonism between K and Na in the different parts of the plant. All the results obtained in this work show that a phosphate fertilization for doses between 70 kg/ha and 140 kg/ha of P2O5 improves the microbial life of soil microorganisms.

A critical test of the two prevailing theories of plant response to nutrient availability

Whereas the "law of the minimum" (LM) states that plant growth is limited by a single resource at any one time, the "multiple limitation hypothesis" (MLH) proposes that optimum plant behavior results from balancing resource costs and benefits so that all resources limit plant growth simultaneously. We tested the hypothesis that neither the LM nor the MLH account for plant responses to all mineral nutrients. Fronds of the aquatic plant Lemna minor were grown in nutrient solutions with increasing levels of four nutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium. Neither LM or MLH adequately predicted plant responses to all of these nutrients: 23 of the 60 responses analyzed were classified as belonging to the LM; 20 cases were classified as undefined; and 17 cases as MLH. The type of response strongly depended on the specific pair of nutrients considered. The validity of the MLH model would depend on the accompanying resource limiting plant growth and on the severity of the stress. We propose that a "nutrient-specific" analysis, considering the biology of each mineral nutrient rather than grouping plant resources as a whole, is more appropriate than general models in understanding plant responses to nutrient availability.

遮荫对撂荒地草本群落生物量分配和养分积累的影响

城市化进程导致农村出现大量的撂荒地,了解撂荒地不同利用方式下的植物群落动态可为撂荒地利用与管理提供重要的基础数据。撂荒地栽植与没有栽植林木是否影响林下草本群落的生物量分配与养分积累仍有待于研究。采用50%—95%遮荫网处理,模拟林下光环境对撂荒地草本群落生物量分配和养分积累特征的影响。结果表明:随着遮荫强度增加,群落总生物量著降低。遮荫处理显著降低了地上生物量及其分配比例,而对根部生物量的影响不显著,却显著提高了根部生物量的分配比例。光照强度与总生物量和地上生物量呈极显著正相关。遮荫处理显著降低了群落地上部分C含量,显著提高了P、K含量,对N含量影响不显著;遮荫处理也显著提高了根部C、N、P含量,但对K含量的影响不显著。随遮荫强度增加,地上部分C、N、P、K的分配比例显著降低,根部C、N、P、K的分配比例显著提高。相关分析表明,光照强度仅与地上部分N含量、根部C、N、P含量极显著相关。遮荫处理显著降低了地上部分C∶N、C∶P和地下部分的C∶N,但对地下部分N∶P、C∶P影响不显著。可见,遮荫将影响撂荒地草本植物群落地上部分生物量和养分积累,而根部对光照强度改变的响应不敏感。
