Buddleja macrostachya (Buddlejaceae) is a widespread shrub native to the Sino-Himalayan mountains and beyond. It has been found to occur at two ploidy levels, hexaploid, 2n=6x=114 and dodecaploid, 2n=12x=228. To determine if morphological characters might be used as indicators of ploidy levels, we measured floral and fruit length, relative and absolute leaf size, trichome density on both leaf surfaces, and stomatal density and length in different populations of B. macrostachya. In general, flower and fruit length, absolute leaf size, and stomatal length increased with an increase at ploidy level (P<0.01), whereas adaxial cell and stomatal density decreased with an increase at ploidy level (P<0.01). We found no conspicuous differences in relative leaf size (P>0.05) in different populations. Other characters studied such as trichome type, cuticular membrane and ornamentation of stomata, cell and stomatal shape, and anticlinal wall pattern were quite constant in this species. Thus it appears that flower and fruit length, absolute leaf size, and stomatal frequency and length can be used to distinguish hexaploid from dodecaploid cytotypes either in the field or in herbarium specimens.  相似文献

The length and frequency of stomata on leaf surfaces were examined as rapid techniques for future identification of ploidy level of Acacia mearnsii (de Wild). Diploid (2 n  = 2 x  = 26) and tetraploid (2 n  = 4 x  = 52) plants were germinated from chipped seed at 25°C and grown under nursery conditions. After one month, measurements showed that the mean stomatal length was 27.17 ± 0.474 µm for diploids and 40.24 ± 0.521 µm for tetraploids and these differed significantly from each other ( P  < 0.001). The frequency of stomata per leaf surface was shown to decrease significantly ( P  < 0.001) as the ploidy level increased, with a mean of 22.11 ± 0.495 for diploids and 10.26 ± 0.495 for tetraploids. It was concluded that stomatal length and stomatal frequency are rapid indirect methods to identify ploidy level in black wattle.  © 2003 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2003, 141 , 177–181.  相似文献

The short term effects of increased levels of CO2 on gas exchange of leaves of bigtooth aspen (Populus grandidentata Michx.) were studied at the University of Michigan Biological Station, Pellston, MI. Leaf gas exchange was measured in situ in the upper half of the canopy, 12 to 14 meters above ground. In 1900 microliters per liter CO2, maximum CO2 exchange rate (CER) in saturating light was increased by 151% relative to CER in 320 microliters per liter CO2. The temperature optimum for CER shifted from 25°C in 320 microliters per liter CO2 to 37°C in 1900 microliters per liter CO2. In saturating light, increasing CO2 level over the range 60 to 1900 microliters per liter increased CER, decreased stomatal conductance, and increased leaf water use efficiency. The initial slope of the CO2 response curve of CER was not significantly different at 20 and 30°C leaf temperatures, although the slope did decline significantly during leaf senescence. In 1900 microliters per liter CO2, CER increased with increasing light. The light saturation point and maximum CER were higher in 30°C than in 20°C, although there was little effect of temperature in low light. The experimental results are consistent with patterns seen in laboratory studies of other C3 species and define the parameters required by some models of aspen CER in the field.  相似文献

Net photosynthesis on a leaf area and leaf weight basis increased significantly with ploidy in a 4X, 6X, 8X and 10X allopolyploid series of tail fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.). Total protein did not increase significantly with ploidy. Rocket immunoelectrophoresis was used to quantitate ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBPCase) protein. RuBPCase content, expressed on both a concentration basis and as a percentage of total protein increased significantly with ploidy in both field and greenhouse experiments. The range of RuBPCase content was 16 to 73% of total protein and 2.8 and 6.5 mg/ml of extract. Specific activity of RuBPCase did not increase significantly with ploidy. Chlorophyll concentration increased as a quadratic function of ploidy, with the mean for 8X genotypes representing maximal chlorophyll content. Evidence is presented that increasing concentrations of RuBPCase are associated with higher net photosynthesis rates in tall fescue. This suggests that RuBPCase may represent a marker for increased net photosynthesis. RuBPCase was extracted in a partially active state or inhibited state and must be fully activated by Mg2+ and HCO3 to measure maximal activities. Polyploidization appeared to increase selectively the allocation of total protein for synthesis of RuBPCase; however, there was also a range for carboxylase content among the genotypes within a given ploidy level.  相似文献

Comparisons of leaf structure and gas exchange characteristicshave been made between flag leaves of four old genotypes ofcultivated tetraploid wheats and three current varieties ofhexaploid Triticum aestivum grown under Mediterranean climateconditions. For some genotypes the effect of varying the sowingdate was investigated. In the hexaploid wheat Kolibri the effectof sowing date on leaf structure and gas exchange of the penultimateleaf was also studied. Flag leaves differed significantly in photosynthetic capacityand leaf structure characteristics between genotypes, withineach ploidy level. When the mean values for each ploidy levelwere considered, there were no significant differences in valuesfor photosynthesis per unit leaf area, stomatal conductance,intercellular CO2 concentration, residual CO2 conductance andwater-use efficiency between the tetraploid and hexaploid wheatssown on the same date. When comparisons were made of leaf structurethe only significant differences observed were in adaxial andabaxial stomatal frequencies and leaf area: mean values of theseparameters were higher in tetraploid than in hexaploid wheats. The changes in leaf structure in response to varying sowingdate were significant and followed the same pattern in all thegenotypes studied: a xeromorphic adaptation was observed inlater sowings in response to warmer climate. Such structuralchanges affected some gas exchange characteristics. For example,the area of flag leaves decreased by 60% in the hexaploid wheatKolibri from first to last sowing, which led to a transpirativeloss of 49% per single leaf, in spite of the fact that transpirationrate per unit leaf area increased by 26%. Penultimate leavesof cv. Kolibri followed a fairly similar adaptive pattern inlater sowings as compared with flag leaves. The adaptive significanceof changes in leaf structure and gas exchange characteristicswith varying sowing date under Mediterranean climate conditionsis discussed.

Co2 exchange and transpiration rates of the flag leaves of four spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars, namely Glenlea, Neepawa, Opal and Kolibri, were compared using infra-red gas-analysis technique. The plants were grown in a controlled environment under an 18-h photoperiod, with day and night temperatures of 20 and 15° C, respectively. The time course of the CO2-exchange rate (CER) of the flag leaf differed among cultivars. CER began to decrease rapidly some 2 weeks after ear emergence in Glenlea, Neepawa and Kolibri, but only after 4 weeks in Opal. The decline in CER of Glenlea, Neepawa and Opal was continuous throughout the period of grain development whereas in Kolibri CER was maintained at a constant level between the 4th and 6th weeks after ear emergence. The transpiration rates of the flag leaves of the 4 cultivars did not change markedly until 6–7 weeks after ear emergence, indicating that the reduction in CER was not primarily a response to increased stomatal resistance to the diffusion of CO2. Removing the ear of the main shoot of intact plants failed to depress CER of the subtending flag leaf until 5 weeks after ear removal. Removing the ears of all the tillers of plants in which all but 3 tillers had been removed at ear emergence did not depress CER until 4 weeks after ear emergence, but removal of the ear of the main shoot of plants where all the tillers had been removed at ear emergence reduced the CER of the flag leaf 2 weeks after ear removal. Removal of tillers at ear emergence had a marked effect on the time course of CER and transpiration rates of the flag leaf. Both CER and transpiration rates of a 4-tiller plant were maintained at a higher level throughout ear development as compared to those of a one-tiller plant. The transpiration rate of the flag leaf of Glenlea increased during the later part of the life of the leaf even for one-tiller plants with no ear, indicating that such a stomatal response may be part of the normal course of leaf aging and not a response to a feedback stimulus from the ear.  相似文献

A few potato clones, such as A6948-4, had higher rates of photosynthesis in the field than the Russet Burbank and were able to maintain higher rates not only during mid-day but also in the early morning and late evening hours. In addition, they maintained higher carbon assimilation rates over a range of photosynthetic photon flux density from 400 to 2,000 microeinsteins per square meter per second.

Stomatal conductance increased linearly as irradiance increased from 500 to 2,000 microeinsteins per square meter per second with all four potato clones that were examined. Obviously, comparative measurements of stomatal conductance or diffusive resistance with potato must be taken at a known and constant photosynthetic photon flux density.

The upper (adaxial) leaf surface of some potato clones provided a surprising contribution to total carbon assimilation. Neither stomatal conductance, number of stomata per unit area, total area of the stomatal apparatus, nor chlorophyll content appear to account for differences in carbon assimilation rates among clones.

Photosynthetic rates, chlorophyll content, and activities of several photosynthetic enzymes were determined per cell, per unit DNA, and per unit leaf area in five ploidal levels of the C4 dicot Atriplex confertifolia. Volumes of bundle sheath and mesophyll protoplasts were measured in enzymatic digestions of leaf tissue. Photosynthetic rates per cell, contents of DNA per cell, and activities of the bundle sheath enzymes ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBPC) and NAD-malic enzyme per cell were correlated with ploidal level at 99% or 95% confidence levels, and the results suggested a near proportional relationship between gene dosage and gene products. There was also a high correlation between volume of mesophyll and bundle sheath cells and the ploidal level. Contents of DNA per cell, activity of RuBPC per cell, and volumes of cells were correlated with photosynthetic rate per cell at the 95% confidence level. The mesophyll cells did not respond to changes in ploidy like the bundle sheath cells. In the mesophyll cells the chlorophyll content per cell was constant at different ploidal levels, there was less increase in cell volume than in bundle sheath cells with an increase in ploidy, and there was not a significant correlation (at 95% level) of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity or content and pyruvate,Pi dikinase activity with increase in ploidy. The number of photosynthetic cells per unit leaf area progressively decreased with increasing ploidy from diploid to hexaploid, but thereafter remained constant in octaploid and decaploid plants. Numbers of cells per leaf area were not correlated with cell volumes. The mean photosynthetic rates per unit leaf area were lowest in the diploid, similar in 4×, 6×, and 8×, and highest in the decaploid. The photosynthetic rate per leaf area was highly correlated with the DNA content per leaf area.  相似文献

研究了岷江上游干旱河谷海拔梯度上四川黄栌(Cotinus coggygria)叶片特征及变化特点,以及它们与环境变化的相互关系。测定指标有叶片形念结构(叶长、叶宽、叶面积和叶长/叶宽),表皮特征(气孔器密度和面积、孔径、表皮细胞密度和面积)以及生态特征(生物量、比叶最、饱和含水量)。结果表明。随着海拔升高叶长,叶宽、叶面积、生物量、饱和含水量以及表皮细胞面积呈增大趋势;而表皮细胞密度呈减小趋势;气孔器面积和比叶重在海拔1950m以下,随着海拔上升而增加。1950m的区域明显减小,气孔器密度的变化趋势与之相反;孔径和叶长/叶宽无明显变化。多元统计分析显示,叶面积、饱和含水世和气孔器面积主要与温和度有关,三者随着海拔升高和温和度降低呈增大趋势;随着水热综合因子的增加,气孔器密度减小而孔径和比叶重增大;随着年降水量的增加生物量和气孔器面积基增大趋势,面表皮细胞密度减小;表皮细胞面积随着生物温度降低而增加。综合分析表明,岷江上游干旱河谷缺水和生长季节高温是影响叶片特征变化的主要因素。  相似文献

Stomatal conductances of normally oriented and inverted leaves were measured as light levels (photosynthetic photon flux densities) were increased to determine whether abaxial stomata of Vicia faba leaves were more sensitive to light than adaxial stomata. Light levels were increased over uniform populations of leaves of plants grown in an environmental chamber. Adaxial stomata of inverted leaves reached maximum water vapor conductances at a light level of 60 micromoles per square meter per second, the same light level at which abaxial stomata of normally oriented leaves reached maximum conductances. Abaxial stomata of inverted leaves reached maximum conductances at a light level of 500 micromoles per square meter per second, the same light level at which adaxial stomata of normally oriented leaves reached maximum conductances. Maximum conductances in both normally oriented and inverted leaves were about 200 millimoles per square meter per second for adaxial stomata and 330 millimoles per square meter per second for abaxial stomata. Regardless of whether leaves were normally oriented or inverted, when light levels were increased to values high enough that upper leaf surfaces reached maximum conductances (about 500 micromoles per square meter per second), light levels incident on lower, shaded leaf surfaces were just sufficient (about 60 micromoles per square meter per second) for stomata of those surfaces to reach maximum conductances. This `coordinated' stomatal opening on the separate epidermes resulted in total leaf conductances for normally oriented and inverted leaves that were the same at any given light level. We conclude that stomata in abaxial epidermes of intact Vicia leaves are not more sensitive to light than those in adaxial epidermes, and that stomata in leaves of this plant do not respond to light alone. Additional factors in bulk leaf tissue probably produce coordinated stomatal opening on upper and lower leaf epidermes to optimally meet photosynthetic requirements of the whole leaf for CO2.  相似文献

Increasing the leaf temperature of intact cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants caused a progressive decline in the light-saturated CO2-exchange rate (CER). CER was more sensitive to increased leaf temperature in wheat than in cotton, and both species demonstrated photosynthetic acclimation when leaf temperature was increased gradually. Inhibition of CER was not a consequence of stomatal closure, as indicated by a positive relationship between leaf temperature and transpiration. The activation state of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), which is regulated by Rubisco activase, was closely correlated with temperature-induced changes in CER. Nonphotochemical chlorophyll fluorescence quenching increased with leaf temperature in a manner consistent with inhibited CER and Rubisco activation. Both nonphotochemical fluorescence quenching and Rubisco activation were more sensitive to heat stress than the maximum quantum yield of photochemistry of photosystem II. Heat stress led to decreased 3-phosphoglyceric acid content and increased ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate content, which is indicative of inhibited metabolite flow through Rubisco. We conclude that heat stress inhibited CER primarily by decreasing the activation state of Rubisco via inhibition of Rubisco activase. Although Rubisco activation was more closely correlated with CER than the maximum quantum yield of photochemistry of photosystem II, both processes could be acclimated to heat stress by gradually increasing the leaf temperature.  相似文献

Relationships between net plant CO2 exchange rate (CER) and canopy development were examined in `jubilee' tomato over the initial 4 weeks of vegetative growth. A comparison was made between two plant groups that were alternatively exposed to 200 or 800 microeinsteins per square meter per second midday irradiation to establish a differential in net CER. Plants exposed to higher irradiation demonstrated a 2- to 4-fold greater net photosynthetic rate per leaf area and 100% average higher net CO2 assimilation rate/plant· day. However, leaf-stem growth differed by <50% suggesting a poor relationship to CER. Leaf area growth rate (LAGR) of individual leaves appeared closely related to CER during initial leaf expansion but a greater function of order of emergence in successive leaf growth. LAGR on a per plant basis increased linearly with leaf dry weight but appeared more limited by factors determining maximum leaf enlargement and rate of new leaf development. Net CO2 assimilation/leaf area and leaf starch consistently declined with time while net CO2 assimilation plant/day approached a constant rate following 2 to 3 weeks growth. Composite results suggested a simple relationship for sucessive growth where accumulated leaf carbohydrate in excess of 200 milligrams/plant·day could be expected to be partitioned to other plant segments.  相似文献

According to the evolutional relationships among wheat varieties, 21 wheat varieties were chosen as research materials in this experiment to determine the evolutional trends of stomatal and photosynthetic characteristics. The results showed that as ploidy increased, the stomatal length, width, perimeter and area were found to increase. The stomatal density was found to decrease in A, B, D genomes, while no differences were found in stomatal indices among ploidies, indicating that the stomata became larger, but were still less in evolution progress. The Diploidy had the highest Pn, which was less in Tetraploidy, and the least in Hexaploidy. On the contrary, the Hexaploidy had the highest value in Fv/Fm, and the Diploidy had the highest chlorophyll content. The net photosynthetic rate had significant correlation with stomatal conductivity, while no significant relationship was found between stomatal conductivity and any stomatal characteristics, indicating that the stomatal conductivity is one of the factors limiting the photosynthetic rate, while the single stomatal characteristics is not the reason inducing the change in photosynthetic rate. The stomatal density showed significant differences among ploidy materials in A, B, D genomes, and the trend of genotype was in order of 2n > 4n > 6n; the stomatal length, width, perimeter and area showed significant differences among ploidy materials, and the trend of genotype was in order of 6n > 4n > 2n. The results indicated that the low density might induce low conductivity and low photosynthetic ability in Hexaploidy. Furthermore, the Diploidy had higher value in chlorophyll content of flag leaf area among ploidy materials in A, B and D genomes, indicating that higher chlorophyll content might be the reason for higher photosynthetic ability in Diploid wheat species.  相似文献

基部被子植物气孔性状与叶脉密度的关联进化   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
植物叶片通过气孔的水分蒸腾散失和叶脉的水分供应达到水分平衡,而基部被子植物在进化过程中叶片水分供应和蒸腾散失是否达到平衡或关联进化还缺乏了解。本研究以11种基部被子植物为材料,测定了气孔密度、气孔长度、叶脉密度和叶片厚度4个叶片性状,并结合系统发育树,利用系统发育独立对比的方法分析这些性状之间的关联进化。结果显示:沿进化方向,气孔密度和叶脉密度逐渐增加,而气孔长度和叶片厚度有减小的趋势;无论是否考虑系统发育的影响,气孔密度都与叶脉密度呈显著正相关关系,说明二者之间存在关联进化,并证实了基部被子植物叶片水分平衡假说;气孔密度和长度、叶脉密度均与叶片厚度呈显著线性相关,但在去除系统发育的影响后这种线性相关关系不再显著,说明叶片厚度与其它三个叶片性状不存在关联进化。本研究结果还表明,叶片的水分供应和散失乃至CO2通透性的平衡主导着基部被子植物叶片结构和功能的进化。  相似文献

Stomatal Characteristics at Different Ploidy Levels inCoffeaL.   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Stomatal frequency, epidermal cell frequency, stomatal guardcell length and stomatal index were examined at different ploidylevels inCoffea. In general, stomatal and epidermal cell frequencyper unit leaf area decreased while stomatal guard cell lengthincreased with an increase in ploidy. The reduction in stomatalfrequency at higher ploidy levels was mainly a result of largerepidermal cells. In the case ofC. canephora(cultivar S.274)a significant reduction in stomatal frequency was noticed fromdiploid to tetraploid level which was due to both larger epidermalcell size and less stomatal differentiation at the tetraploidlevel. Besides the effect of ploidy on stomatal frequency andguard cell length, genotypic differences in stomatal frequencyand stomatal guard cell length were also observed among cultivarsof the same ploidy level. Although variation in stomatal frequencyamong cultivars was found to be associated with the differencein stomatal to epidermal cell ratio, variation in guard celllength was attributed to differential genetic architecture.In the present study a highly significant positive correlation(r=0.82) between stomatal and epidermal cell frequency and highnegative correlations between stomatal frequency and guard celllength (r=-0.91) and epidermal cell frequency and stomatal guardcell length (r=-0.93) were obtained. The study also indicatedthat stomatal frequency can be predicted with 83 and 87% accuracy,respectively, by measuring stomatal guard cell length in coffee.Copyright1997 Annals of Botany Company Coffea; ploidy level; stomatal characteristics  相似文献

Polyploidization has repeatedly occurred during plant evolution. Although autopolyploidy is the best model to characterize the polyploidization effects in a highly controlled manner, there are limited studies on autopolyploids compared to allopolyploids. To improve our understanding of autopolyploidy effects in maize, we developed an inbred Oh43 ploidy series consisting of the diploid (2X), tetraploid (4X) and hexaploid (6X) lines and compared their phenotypes and gene expression in the mature adult leaf tissue. Our phenotypic study showed that plants of higher ploidy exhibit increased cell size but slower growth rate, later flowering, fewer tassel branches, reduced stature and fertility. Two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D DIGE) and gel electrophoresis followed by liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (GeLC-MS) assays of the leaf proteomes revealed ~40 and 26% quantitative differentially expressed (DE) proteins, respectively, at the per genome level. A small number of qualitative DE proteins were also identified in the GeLC-MS assay. The majority of the quantitative DE proteins found in the 2D DIGE assay were present in either the 4X versus 6X or the 2X versus 6X comparison but not the 2X versus 4X comparison. Aneuploidy in some 6X plants might contribute to the more extensive changes of gene expression per genome in the 6X. Most changes of the protein expression per genome are less than twofold. Less than 5% of the DE genes exhibit a positive or negative continuous correlation through the ploidy series between their protein expression per genome, and the genome copy number. Hence, in the Oh43 ploidy series, expression for most proteins in a cell increases linearly with ploidy.  相似文献

The influence of polyploidization on chloroplast coupling factor 1 (CF1) was examined in leaves and leaf protoplasts from isogenic diploid-tetraploid (DDC 2X-4X) and tetraploid-octoploid (IC 4X-8X) sets of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). Alfalfa CF1 was purified to homogeneity and was found to contain five subunits with molecular weights of 57,900, 54,300, 38,700, 23,100, and 15,200. Rocket immunoelectrophoresis with anti-spinach CF1 gamma immunoglobulins was used to quantify CF1 from protoplasts and leaves. In the DDC 2X-4X set, fresh weight per cell and cellular content of CF1, chlorophyll (Chl), and DNA doubled with ploidy. Ratios of CF1 to Chl of leaf protoplasts and leaves were similar between diploids and tetraploids. In the IC 4X-8X set, octoploid protoplasts were 90% higher in Chl than were comparable tetraploids, whereas octoploids were 50 to 60% higher than tetraploids in fresh weight per cell and cellular content of CF1 and DNA. Concentrations of CF1 and Chl in leaves and ratios of CF1 to DNA in protoplasts were similar across ploidy levels of both isogenic sets. Therefore, cellular content of CF1 increases proportionately with the amount of DNA per cell or gene dosage.  相似文献

Higher leaf vein density (D(vein) ) enables higher rates of photosynthesis because enhanced water transport allows higher leaf conductances to CO(2) and water. If the total cost of leaf venation rises in proportion to the density of minor veins, the most efficient investment in leaf xylem relative to photosynthetic gain should occur when the water transport capacity of the leaf (determined by D(vein) ) matches potential transpirational demand (determined by stomatal size and density). We tested whether environmental plasticity in stomatal density (D(stomata) ) and D(vein) were linked in the evergreen tree Nothofagus cunninghamii to achieve a balance between liquid and gas phase water conductances. Two sources of variation were examined; within-tree light acclimation, and differences in sun leaves among plants from ecologically diverse populations. Strong, linear correlations between D(vein) and D(stomata) were found at all levels of comparison. The correlations between liquid- and vapour-phase conductances implied by these patterns of leaf anatomy were confirmed by direct measurement of leaf conductance in sun and shade foliage of an individual tree. ? Our results provide strong evidence that the development of veins and stomata are coordinated so that photosynthetic yield is optimized relative to carbon investment in leaf venation.  相似文献
