The spruce (Picea) species are ecologically and economically important in Canada. Highly informative markers with high multiplex ratios are needed to assist spruce genomics, genetics, and breeding programs. Selectively amplified microsatellite polymorphic loci (SAMPL) markers are highly suitable for these programs. We have developed, optimized, and characterized a set of 10 new SAMPL primers in combination with 16 MseI primers and resolved a large number of polymorphic SAMPL markers in spruce. The SAMPL primers were designed from the compound microsatellite repeats found in Norway spruce (Picea abies) and white spruce (Picea glauca). A total of 6313 polymorphic SAMPL makers were produced by 160 SAMPL–MseI primers combinations in eight progeny of a spruce mapping population. 相似文献

The effects of SO2 and O3 on the foliar nutrition of Scots pine, Norway spruce and Sitka spruce in the Liphook open-air fumigation experiment 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Foliar elements were analysed in Scots pine, Sitka spruce and Norway spruce over a 6 year period before and during continuous exposure to SO2 and O3 in an open-air fumigation experiment. Sulphur dioxide treatment elevated foliar sulphur concentration in all species, and there were increases in foliar nitrogen in the two spruce species but not in pine. The concentrations of cations were frequently increased by SO2 treatment, but there was no correlation between the sulphur concentration of needles and their total cation charge. SO2-related elevations of foliar magnesium were correlated with the concentration of this element in soil solution, but the mechanism by which other cations were enhanced remains unclear. The only consistent effects on nutrient ratios were for SO2 treatments to increase sulphur/cation ratios. 相似文献

We tested a hypothesis that elevated ozone was an eliciting or contributing factor in outbreaks of the 'top dying' (or 'subtop dying') syndrome in Norway spruce ( Picea abies ). Progeny were used from open-pollinated trees within a stand with the 'top dying' syndrome. The mother trees were classified in relation to the expression of the 'top dying' syndrome, and progeny from the healthiest and least healthy thirds of the population were exposed to high and low concentrations of ozone for three seasons. Elevated ozone did not affect height growth of the trees. It did not measurably affect net photosynthesis, stomatal conductance or instantaneous water use efficiency. Chlorophyll and carotenoid contents were also not significantly affected by ozone concentration. In the first year, instantaneous water use efficiency was lower in the progeny of the unhealthy mother trees than in the healthy mother trees. Furthermore, the unhealthy mother trees tended to produce longer annual shoots and showed more winter damage at the end of the experiment. None of these parameters were related to ozone concentration in the atmosphere. These results do not support a hypothesis that elevated ozone is a significant contributory factor or an eliciting factor in the development of the syndrome. 相似文献

Four pot experiments are reported in which Norway spruce ( Picea abies (L.) Karst) seedlings, of different nutrient status, were treated with acid mist for one growing season in open-top chambers (OTCs). Combinations of H+ , SO4 2− , NH4 + and NO3 − were applied at different frequencies of application and supplying different doses of S and N kg ha−1 . Plant growth, visible injury, frost hardiness and nutrient status were observed. These experiments were undertaken to improve our understanding of the interaction of environmental factors such as nutrition and mist-exposure frequency on seedling response to N and S deposition.
Both acidity (pH 2·7) and SO4 2− ions were necessary to induce visible injury. Mist containing SO4 2− , H+ and to a lesser extent NH4 + significantly reduced winter frost hardiness. Increasing the misting frequency, and to a lesser extent the overall dose, increased the likelihood of acid mist causing visible injury and reducing frost hardiness. Post-planting stress, low N status and needle juvenility increased the likelihood of acid mist causing visible injury. Increased plant vitality, adequate N status and growth rate reduced the likelihood of acid-mist-induced reductions in frost hardiness.
Principles underlying the responses of spruce seedlings treated in controlled conditions to acid mist are discussed. 相似文献

Histochemical and biochemical approaches

peroxidases in needles of Norway spruce
(Picea abies) 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1

The three youngest age-classes of needles of Norway spruce ( Picea abies ) were collected from four sites in the Krusne Hory Mountains (Czech Republic) characterized by different levels of damage caused by environmental pollution. Histochemical methods did not reveal any differences in localization of phenolics among the needles. Mesophyll cells close to the epidermis of needles and cells around resin ducts and substomatal cavities often accumulated higher amounts of phenolics than the rest of the mesophyll cells, but this was independent of age and damage. Needles of different age- and damage-class did not show any marked changes in general lignification pattern. However, a lower intensity of histochemical detection of lignin was observed in needles from the most damaged site. This finding was confirmed by chemical analysis using thioglycolic acid. Generally, the amount of lignin in mesophyll cells was lower in damaged trees than in healthy ones. Using the Folin–Ciocalteau method, no significant differences in the total content of phenolics were observed in the needles, although HPLC revealed marked alterations in the forms of seven phenolic acids. Concentrations of conjugated forms of phenolic acids (esters and glycosides) were higher in damaged needles (255.9 μg g−1 f. wt) than in healthy needles (189.8 μg g−1 f. wt). By contrast, content of esterified phenolic acids incorporated into cell walls was higher in needles from healthy trees (101.1 μg g−1 f. wt) than in damaged needles (78.3 μg g−1 f. wt). Marked differences were also observed in the activity of soluble peroxidases, although the activity of ionically bound forms was approximately the same in healthy and damaged needles. The total amounts of chlorophylls and carotenoids decreased as environmental damage increased. 相似文献

Saplings of Fagus sylvatica and Picea abies were grown in mono‐ and mixed cultures in a 2‐year phytotron study under all four combinations of ambient and elevated ozone (O3) and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations. The hypotheses tested were (1) that the competitiveness of beech rather than spruce is negatively affected by the exposure to enhanced O3 concentrations, (2) spruce benefits from the increase of resource availability (elevated CO2) in the mixed culture and (3) that the responsiveness of plants to CO2 and O3 depends on the type of competition (i.e. intra vs. interspecific). Beech displayed a competitive disadvantage when growing in mixture with spruce: after two growing seasons under interspecific competition, beech showed significant reductions in leaf gas exchange, biomass development and crown volume as compared with beech plants growing in monoculture. In competition with spruce, beech appeared to be nitrogen (N)‐limited, whereas spruce tended to benefit in terms of its plant N status. The responsiveness of the juvenile trees to the atmospheric treatments differed between species and was dominated by the type of competition: spruce growth benefited from elevated CO2 concentrations, while beech growth suffered from the enhanced O3 regime. In general, interspecific competition enhanced these atmospheric treatment effects, supporting our hypotheses. Significant differences in root : shoot biomass ratio between the type of competition under both elevated O3 and CO2 were not caused by readjustments of biomass partitioning, but were dependent on tree size. Our study stresses that competition is an important factor driving plant development, and suggests that the knowledge about responses of plants to elevated CO2 and/or O3, acquired from plants growing in monoculture, may not be transferred to plants grown under interspecific competition as typically found in the field. 相似文献

Variable growth and reproduction response of the spruce shoot aphid, Cinara pilicornis, to increasing ozone concentrations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Spruce shoot aphid, Cinara pilicornis Hartig (Homoptera: Lachnidae), is an aphid species that has shown enhanced performance on trees exposed to SO2 or mixtures of air pollutants, whereas results with ozone have been contradictory. Using a 4-week chamber fumigation experiment, we tested how different population dynamic parameters of aphids are affected by ozone (O3). Mean relative growth rate (MRGR), development time and reproduction rate of C. pilicornis were determined using 7h day-time O3 concentrations of 0, 40, 80 and 160 ppb. Development period from birth to reproductive stage was fastest at 80 ppb during early shoot elongation, while reproduction and intrinsic rate of population increase was not significantly affected by ozone concentration. There was a significant negative correlation between ozone concentration and the MRGR of first instar nymphs in the third fumigation week. In feeding test performed on seedlings after fumigation, the MRGR was reduced on shoots which had been exposed to 80 ppb O3. The results suggest that elevated O3 concentration during early shoot elongation period may stimulate population development of C. pilicornis, but on maturing shoots, high O3 concentration has a negative effect on aphid performance. This might be due to accelerated ageing of O3 exposed shoots. 相似文献
