扁稈藨草的生物学特性及防治研究

研究表明,扁秆藨草生育节律明显,有性繁殖对季节要求严,无性繁殖对季节要求宽,在“半遮光”条件下不能抽穗结实,无性繁殖受到抑制。扁秆藨草的阶段发育与叶龄相关显著,用主茎叶龄预测再生苗的线性回归方程式:(?)_α=-36.74+6.24x(1983)和(?)_α=-32.42+6.28x(1984年);预测块茎发生量的线性回归方程式:(?)_t=-67.97+10.12x(1983年)和(?)_t=-33.91+80.4x(1984年)。机械和人工除草可抑制块茎的形成和阻止抽穗结实,但能促进再生苗的蔓延。大田防治必须在扁秆藨草块茎形成之前用药,并做到株株受药,才能起到“斩草除根”的作用。扁秆藨草的发生分布与耕作栽培制度关系密切,实生苗萌发迟而集中,再生苗萌发早而分散,是防除的主要对象。实验表明,只有运用农业、生物、化学等综合防治手段,才能有效地控制扁秆藨草的为害。     

扁秆藨草种群内禀增长率的研究

采用“定期起苗”法,从６ 月１０ 日—８ 月３０ 日止,分别统计从越冬块茎上萌发出的再生苗及其后代蔓生枝系再生苗的数量,从而得出扁秆藨草再生苗各旬株数增长的指数方程;又用“定株观察”法,对１２ 株越冬块茎上的再生苗及其全部后代植株开花、结实数量进行统计,探讨扁秆藨草有性繁殖的能力,然后进行综合计算,求得扁秆藨草种群的内禀增长率ｒ＝７．２４,阐明了扁秆藨草很高的内禀增长率是其种群过度生长的根本原因;通过对其过度生长关键时刻的判断,选择灭草的关键期,有效地灭杀此种恶性杂草

莫莫格扁秆藨草恢复湿地土壤种子库对长芒稗入侵的响应

湿地恢复过程中,时常有外来种或本地杂草入侵。土壤种子库作为未来植被的潜在种源,对湿地恢复效果具有重要的指示意义。在莫莫格国家级自然保护区,以恢复白鹤栖息地(扁秆藨草(Scirpus planiculmis)沼泽)为目的,进行了退化湿地的水文恢复;但退化湿地恢复2a后,一年生杂草长芒稗(Echinochloa caudata)在大部分区域成为建群种。以长芒稗入侵湿地和扁秆藨草自然湿地为研究对象,对比分析了长芒稗和扁秆藨草的土壤种子库及生长结实特征。结果表明,在自然湿地扁秆藨草种子库规模是长芒稗的18.42倍,而在恢复湿地长芒稗种子库大小是扁秆藨草的5.04倍。与自然湿地相比,扁秆藨草种子库密度在入侵湿地明显减少,但仍保留了一定量具有活力的种子(664.32±105.98)粒/m~2,这与研究区扁秆藨草较高的种子生产力(9210.4±1513.4)粒/m~2及种子较强的浮力(FP50=39.7d)有关,说明扁秆藨草具备通过种子库或水传播恢复的潜力。长芒稗土壤种子库密度在入侵湿地高达(3345.9±520.3)粒/m~2,明显高于自然湿地种子库规模(P0.01),说明恢复湿地受长芒稗入侵影响严重,这与长芒稗较高的种子生产力(7621.4±376.25)粒/m~2及较弱的种子浮力(FP0=5d)有关,同时也表明长芒稗通过水传播扩散的能力较弱。另外,研究区长芒稗平均高度超过1m,且盖度较大,不仅阻碍扁秆藨草种子的水播,也降低了到达地表的光照水平,从而抑制扁秆藨草更新。因此,在莫莫格受长芒稗入侵湿地,于开花结实前收获长芒稗地上植物体及凋落物应是限制长芒稗扩展、同时促进扁秆藨草恢复的有效措施。     

The effect of temperature changes and K supply on the reproduction and growth of Bolboschoenus planiculmis

温度变化和钾添加对扁秆藨草生长及繁殖的影响 人类活动导致的气候变暖和农业面源污染已被认为是影响湿地植物生长和繁殖的重要因素。为了预 测和缓解这些人类活动的影响,研究沼泽植物如何响应这些环境变化具有重要意义。本研究选取在欧亚 大陆广泛分布的莎草科球茎植物扁秆藨草(Bolboschoenus planiculmis)为研究对象,考察气温变化(恒温： 15、20、25 °C及交替温度：20/10和30/15 °C)和钾添加(0、1、3、9 和18 mmol/L)对其生长和繁殖性状 的影响。研究结果表明,高的恒温(20、25 °C)比高的交替温度(30/15 °C)更有利于扁秆藨草球茎的形成, 而地上生物量和株高一般在较高温度下(30/15、25 °C)达到最大值。扁秆藨草的繁殖和生长性状均与施钾量 呈驼峰型关系,最适施钾量在1–3 mmol/L K。高恒温效应和最适钾浓度的交互作用对繁殖性状的促进作 用最大,但是,较高的温度(30/15和25 °C)和0–9 mmol/L的钾浓度只促进了生长性状的生长。综上所述, 扁秆藨草的种群优势度可能受益于全球变暖和额外的钾添加。     

海三棱藨草及其近缘种基因组大小的测定

基因组大小是物种基因组的重要特征,通常用DNA C值来衡量,能够用于快速判断基因组倍性,并为分类学与进化生物学提供重要依据。海三棱藨草(Scirpus mariqueter)是长江口和杭州湾具有重要生态意义的标志性物种,被认为是扁秆藨草(S. planiculmis)和藨草(S. triqueter)的杂交种,因染色体小而难以准确确定倍性。近年来,部分研究者指出该物种的分类和命名存在疑点。该研究通过基因组Survey分析检测海三棱藨草样本CJ1的基因组特征,测序深度约为120 ×,并以绿豆(Vigna radiata)为参考标准,利用流式细胞术测定了海三棱藨草及其同域近缘种扁秆藨草和藨草以及海三棱藨草和扁秆藨草的杂交F1共13个样本的DNA C值和相对倍性。结果表明:(1)基因组Survey分析测得CJ1的基因组大小为244.12 Mbp,杂合率为0.68%,重复序列比例为42.38%,GC含量为37.25%。(2)流式细胞术测得来自不同区域的海三棱藨草各样本的基因组倍性相同,1C值在234.87 ～ 242.5 Mbp之间,其中CJ1的基因组大小与基因组Survey检测结果高度一致。(3)扁秆藨草的1C值在251.77 ～ 264.13 Mbp之间,藨草1C值为537.33 Mbp。根据上述基因组大小,认为海三棱藨草不可能是这两者的杂交种。该研究补充了海三棱藨草及其近缘种的基因组特征,为后续全基因组测序奠定基础,同时也否定了海三棱藨草起源于扁杆藨草和藨草杂交的假说。     

海三棱藨草及其近缘种果实形状和果皮微形态特征研究

利用光学显微镜和扫描电镜对海三棱藨草(× Bolboschoenoplectus mariqueter (Tang & F. T. Wang))及其5个近缘种的果实形状、果皮微形态特征进行观察和分析。结果显示,海三棱藨草果实形状为双凸状,表面为波形网状纹饰,外果皮为中果皮厚度的2倍,与扁秆荆三棱( Bolboschoenus planiculmis (F. Schmidt) T. V. Egorova)明显不同,而与海滨三棱草( Bolboschoenus maritimus (L.) Palla)相似。研究结果支持将海三棱藨草归入三棱草属,不支持将海三棱藨草作为扁秆荆三棱的异名,推测其可能为海滨三棱草水滨亚种( Bolboschoenus maritimus subsp. paludosus (A. Nelson) T. Koyama)的异名。     

扁秆藨草繁殖特性的初步观察及化学防除

扁秆藨草(Scirpus bicincavys),是一种难于防除的成片生长于稻田的多年生杂草,分布在我国南、北各省以及朝鲜,日本和硫球群岛等地。由于它的块茎、种子等都能进行繁殖,所以繁殖力很强,且繁殖速度很快,在一个生长季里,一个块茎或一粒种子能够繁殖植株竟     

光照、水深交互作用对松嫩湿地芦苇种子萌发的影响

莫莫格国家级自然保护区位于松嫩平原西部, 以保护白鹤(Grus leucogeranus)等珍稀水禽及其栖息地为主要目的。扁秆藨草(Scirpus planiculmis)是莫莫格湿地的重要植物, 也是白鹤在该区停栖的主要食源植物。莫莫格湿地水文恢复后, 芦苇(Phragmites australis)等高大挺水植物大量出现, 阻碍了扁秆藨草的恢复。种子萌发是植物生活史的重要阶段, 对于认识野外植物群落动态和植被管理十分重要。该研究在人工气候箱模拟野外环境条件, 分析了光照(全光、遮阴、黑暗)、水深(0、5、15和30 cm)及其交互作用对芦苇种子萌发的影响。结果表明: 光照和水深变化明显影响芦苇种子的萌发; 最终萌发比例在遮阴和黑暗条件下明显比在全光下高, 在3种光照处理下较深水位(5-30 cm)均抑制了芦苇种子的萌发。芦苇种子萌发也明显受光照和水深交互作用的影响; 在全光条件下, 萌发比例在0 cm水深(86.67% ± 2.36%)显著高于其他较深水位; 在遮阴和黑暗环境下, 0 cm水深与其他水深处理间的差异明显缩小, 这应是在遮阴和黑暗条件下(不考虑水深)萌发比例较高的重要原因。因此, 在芦苇建群初期, 及时进行清除处理并保持一定地表水位可以限制芦苇通过有性繁殖更新, 同时改善地表光辐射等生境条件, 促进扁秆藨草恢复。     

莫莫格自然保护区白鹤秋季迁徙停歇期觅食生境选择

2008年秋季(10月8日—20日)及2009年秋季(9月20日—10月16日),通过样方法对觅食生境11个生态因子进行调查,利用卡方检验、资源选择指数和资源选择函数在莫莫格保护区对秋季迁徙停歇期白鹤觅食生境选择进行研究。结果表明,白鹤对距人为干扰源距离、植被密度、盖度、高度、植物性食物密度以及水深均具有选择性,但对宏观尺度干扰因子的选择性较低。其偏好觅食生境的特点为:距一级路>5000m,>二级路1500m以上,>三级路1000m以上,>居民点1000m以上,农田>1000m;植被密度20~50株/m2,盖度<10%,高度<20cm,扁杆藨草密度1~50株/m2,藨草密度1~10株/m2,水深40~60cm。白鹤秋季觅食生境资源选择函数为Logistic(P)=0.663+0.565×与一级道路距离+0.042×与二级道路距离+0.519×与三级道路距离+0.353×与居民点距离+0.169×与农田距离–0.455×植被密度–0.618×植被盖度–0.548×植被高度–0.158×扁杆藨草密度–0.404×藨草密度+0.920×水深,T(x)=eLogistic(p)/[1+eLogistic(p)],模型正确预测率为82.9%。     

升马唐种群生态及其田间密度调控指标的研究

 研究表明,马唐的生育期为62—111天,需>0℃积温1380—2716。其生殖生长阶段对季节的温度要求严,营养生长阶段宽,生育期长短主要靠营养生长期的长短来调节。马唐种子休眠期一般为150天,休眠期长短和解除休眠速率与种子贮藏条件关系密切,以恒温贮藏最快。种子发芽起点温度为15℃,60%种子发芽的有效积温平均为555.13℃。马唐种子发芽对光照要求不敏感。在农田7cm土层内的种子均能出苗,但以1—4cm层最佳。马唐的再生能力强,试验表明,凡是带有须根和幼芽的任何断节都能发生新的植株。通径分析结果表明,马唐是我国北方夏播粮田的主要杂草。马唐群体水平(x,株／m2)与夏玉米籽粒减产率(y,%)间呈以下关系模式：(1)y=0.1532x1-5574(x≤20株／m2) (2)y=-18.400+11.315lnx(x>20株／m2)与夏玉米共同生长日数对作物籽粒减产率呈以下关系模式：y=54.5956／1+89.7962e-0.1184x根据推算,在石家庄地区夏播玉米田,马唐的允许存在密度即生态经济阈值为5.8株／m2。     

Host specificity ofAcanthoscelides quadridentatus andA. Puniceus [Col.: Bruchidae] for biological control ofMimosa pigra (with preliminary data on their biology)

The biology and host specificity of the seed-feeding bruchids,Acanthoscelides quadridentatus (Schaeffer) andA. puniceus Johnson, from Mexico were studied in quarantine facilities in Australia. Distinguishing characters in the genitalia of each species are illustrated. Oviposition was recorded on 16 of 73 species of plants tested but larvae died without entering pods or seeds, except onMimosa invisa K. F. P. von Martius andM. pigra L. Larvae entering seeds ofM. invisa died in the first instar. The bruchids were clearly specific toM. pigra and were subsequently released as part of a program for biological control of this weed in the Northern Territory, Australia in April 1983 and thailand in July 1984.      

海南岛南湾半岛猕猴(Macaca mulatta)种群数量动态及分布

自1981年以来,对海南岛南湾半岛猕猴进行了连续5年的调查研究。归纳1965年到1984年底的材料,该种群从100只发展到930只,其间种群的年均增长率为13％,种群增长率受着种群密度的制约,密度与增长率间存在着关系式y=-0.0003x~2+0.0857x+0.3534。该种群生长曲线可表示为指数函数式y=0.1253e~(0.1046x)或为Logistic曲线N=1850/1+e~(11.28-0.13x)。该半岛猕猴最大容纳量为1850只。各猴群的弹性核域受猴群密度和植被质量的影响,绘出了它们之间的关系图。     

Biological control of the weed,Chromolaena odorata [Asteraceae], byPareuchaetes pseudoinsulata [Lep.: Arctiidae] on Guam and the northern Mariana Islands

Chromolaena odorata L. is a major weed of tropical plantations and pasture lands.Pareuchaetes pseudoinsulata Rego Barros [Lep.: Arctiidae] was mass-reared and released to control the weed on the Mariana Islands of Guam, Rota, Tinian and Saipan in the western Pacific. One year following establishment ofP. pseudoinsulata on Guam, the weed was reduced 100% at 3 of 4 sites monitored with fixed quadrats. Seed production was prevented if defoliation occurred prior to the beginning of the flowering season. If defoliation occurred shortly after flowering began, the developing seeds were eaten byP. pseudoinsulata or there was a significant reduction in weight and germination of seeds that matured. Eighteen months after establishing on Guam,P. pseudoinsulata had defoliated approximately 25,000 hectares of the weed. This is the 1^st report on the quantitative impact of any control agent forC. odorata, and though the long term effect of the insect is still unknown, these results are encouraging.     

Comparative ecology of seedling recruitment in an oligotrophic wet meadow

Abstract. For the regeneration niche to contribute to the maintenance of species diversity interspecific differences in sensitivity of seedling recruitment to environmental conditions is assumed. We experimentally tested differences between meadow species for the response of seed germination to chilling, and sensitivity of seedling recruitment to microscale heterogeneity. We also compared the dynamics of seedling recruitment in gaps. Seed germination was tested in standard laboratory germination tests, comparing control seeds with seeds chilled at +4 °C, and at –14°C for one month. Species responses varied from significant increases in germinability after chilling (e.g. Cirsium palustre, Betonica officinalis, Angelica sylvestris) to significant decreases (e.g. Hieracium umbellatum, Succisa pratensis, Selinum carvifolia). In some species, chilling at + 4 °C has a similar effect to chilling at –14 °C, in others the effect of chilling at + 4°C was intermediate, and in some, there was no effect of chilling at + 4°C, but an effect of chilling at –14°C. Different chilling temperatures also affect timing and speed of seed germination under greenhouse conditions. The dynamics of seed germination under field conditions was studied by sowing seeds into artificially created gaps and following their germination, both where the seedlings were removed after emergence and where they were not removed. Species differ in their germination dynamics: they all start late April, but then differentiate from an abrupt maximum and early finish of germination (in the second half of May), to prolonged germination without a marked maximum. Seedling removal increased the total number of germinated seeds, with a marked density dependence at this stage. Seeds were also sown into plots with treatments (1) gaps, sod stripped, above-ground vegetation removed; (2) mown, moss layer removed; (3) mown; (4) untouched control. Seedling emergence was monitored for 3 yr. Seedling recruitment decreased from treatments (1) to (4), but sensitivity differed between species. With increasing seed weight, the difference between gaps and other treatments decreased. The results show that there are considerable differences in seedling recruitment sensitivity between species.     

Effects of Fumigants and Systemic Pesticides on Pratylenchus penetrans and Potato Yield

Replicated trials were conducted near Alliston, Ontario, in 1983 and 1984 to evaluate the efficacy of five chemical treatments in controlling the root-lesion nematode Pratylenchus penetrans on potato, Solanum tuberosum cv. Russet Burbank. The fumigants Vorlex, at 55 liters product/ha, and Telone II B, at 75 liters product/ha, were more effective in suppressing high initial population densities of 18,320 and 50,880 P. penetrans/kg soil in 1983 and 1984, respectively, than single applications of the systemic pesticides Temik 10 G at 22 kg product/ha, Vydate L at 18 and 9 liters product/ha, and Furadan 10 G at 33 kg product/ha. The combination of Vorlex + Temik resulted in greatest nematode suppression and lowest populations at harvest. In 1983, marketable tuber yield (> 7 cm) in the Vorlex + Temik plots was 20.7 t/ha, compared to 4.7 t for the untreated check. Vorlex alone and Telone II B plots yielded 17.3 and 15.9 t/ha, respectively; Temik with 7.5 t also yielded better than the check. Vydate and Furadan did not influence yields significantly. Total yields differed from the check in all treatments except with Furadan. In 1984, marketable yields ranged from 15.5 t/ha for the Vorlex + Temik treatment to 11.2 for the untreated check, but the differences were not statistically significant. Total yields, however, were significantly increased by the fumigants. The difference in response to chemical treatment in the 2 years was attributed to greater heat stress and lack of supplementary irrigation in 1983.     

Agro-ecology of onion couch (Arrhenathemm elatius var. bulbosum).

The agro-ecology of onion couch (Arrhenatherum elatius var. bulbosum), a well known weed of arable land is studied. Contribution of seeds from onion couch and a more widespread variety of Arrhenatherum elatius: tall oat-grass, towards future ingress of onion couch in arable fields has indicated that the tall oat-grass variety is not a potential weed of arable land. It appears that vegetative propagules rather than the seeds are the effective means of propagation of the onion couch variety in arable fields. An experiment performed to test any modifying effect of the soil texture indicated that onion couch is restricted to loamy soils and there is a complete absence from heavy clays and sandy soils. This could be due to the moist and protective micro-environment provided by the texture of the soils to partially buried vegetative propagules of onion couch, which are susceptible to drought.     

Myrmecochorous adaptations ofCorydalis species (Papaveraceae) in southern Japan

Dispersal morphology based on the myrmecochorous adaptations for predator avoidance of sevenCorydalis species including two varieties are investigated in southern Japan. Three types of myrmecochory were distinguished: myrmecochory with autochory (diplochory), the explosive ejection of seeds followed by ant transportation; myrmecochory with vegetative reproduction, seed-transportation by ants and reproduction by tuber; and pure myrmecochory, seed-transporting by ants only. Diplochory occurs in one winter annual plant, which has explosive capsules, a smooth seed surface, a small elaiosome, long pedicels and large bracts. Myrmecochory with vegetative reproduction occurs in two perennials that reproduce by tuber, although they also produce a small number of seeds with a medium-sized elaiosome. the pedicels and bracts are medium in size. Pure myrmecochory occurs in five annuals or biennials that are characterized by a rough seed surface with a large elaiosome, comparatively high seed production, short pedicels and only small bracts. Diplochory is exhibited by only one species distributed widely throughout Japan. Myrmecochory with vegetative reproduction is exhibited by species mainly distributed in cool-temperate northern Japan, while true myrmecochory is exhibited by the majority ofCorydalis species in warm-temperate Japan.     

The spatial distribution of nests of the harvester ant Messor barbarus in dryland cereals

The harvester ant Messor barbarus can be responsible for substantial losses of weed seeds in arable fields in NE Spain. The spatial distribution of nests can have consequences for biological weed control, because foraging intensities decline with distance from the nest. The probability that seeds will escape harvesting will be lower if nests occur regularly distributed. We here investigated ‘large’-scale variability (up to 150 m), caused by habitat heterogeneity, and ‘small’-scale spatial variability (up to 12 m), caused by interactions between colonies, in nest distribution in a 50 × 150 m area in a cereal field in NE Spain, in 2009 and 2010. Large-scale variability was present in the data, but could not be explained by elevation, distance to the nearest field edge, or interpreted as simple trends across the area. Small-scale interactions could successfully be described by a multi-type/hard core Strauss process model, indicating territoriality among nests. Exclusion and interaction zones were identified, with radii that were smaller for small than for large colonies, and smaller for 2009 than for 2010. There was close resemblance between the observed and fitted spatial structure up to a radius of 3–4 m. Large-scale spatial variability, but not small-scale interactions, may be responsible for the existence of areas with few or no nests, where weed seeds have a higher probability of escaping the ants and entering the seed bank. Identifying and understanding the factors that influence the large-scale trends is, therefore, essential for optimizing weed control.     

Production and characterization of amphiploids of Aegilops kotschyi and Ae. biuncialis with Secale cereale, and of backcross hybrids of Ae. biuncialis x S. cereale amphiploids with 2x and 4x S. cereale

Amphiploids (2n = 6x = 42) of Ae. kotschyi and Ae. biuncialis with self-compatible S. cereale were produced from F1 sterile hybrids (2n = 3x = 21) through colchicine treatment and callus tissue regeneration. The amphiploids resembled the F1 plants in overall morphology, but were larger in all respects and self-fertile. The spikelets consisted mostly of 3 well-developed florets. Selfed seeds were obtained from some colchicine-doubled sectors and callus regenerates. Most of the produced seeds were well developed. Backcrosses between amphiploids and rye (2x and 4x) resulted in obtaining (Ae. biuncialis x S. cereale amphiploid) x S. cereale hybrids via embryo culture. The BC1 plants (2n = 4x = 28 and 2n = 5x = 35, respectively) were phenotypically intermediate between the parents and vigorous in vegetative growth. Some seeds were obtained only from the 35-chromosome BC1 hybrids.
