The relationship between the initial (Pi) and final (Pf) population densities of Meloidogyne javanica and yield of watermelon, Citrullus lanatus, cv. Sugar Baby were determined in pot and field experiments. In the pots, the maximum reproduction rate of the nematode was 14, and the equilibrium density was 49 400 eggs/100 cm3 of soil. Yield data represented as fresh top weight fitted the Seinhorst damage function (P < 0.001, R2 = 0.7), and the minimum relative yield (m) was 0.65 at Pi ≥ 3200 eggs/100 cm3 of soil and the tolerance limit (T) 74 eggs/100 cm3. In the field experiments (2011 and 2012), the maximum reproduction rate was 73 and 70, and the equilibrium density 32 and 35 second‐stage juveniles (J2)/100 cm3 soil. Yield data represented as fruit weight fitted the Seinhorst damage function in 2011 (P < 0.001, R2 = 0.92) and the m‐ and T‐values were 0.63 and 20 J2/100 cm3 of soil, respectively. Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica needed similar length of time for development to egg‐laying females and life cycle completion at 24.4°C. 相似文献

Microplot and field experiments were conducted to determine relationships of population densities of Meloidogyne spp. to performance of flue-cured tobacco. A 3-yr microplot study of these interactions involved varying initial nematode numbers (Pi).and use of ethoprop to re-establish ranges of nematode densities. Field experiments included various nematicides at different locations. Regression analyses of microplot data from a loamy sand showed that cured-leaf yield losses on ''Coker 319'' for each 10-fold increase in Pi were as follows: M. javanica and M. arenaria—-13-19%; M. incognita—5-10%; M. hapla—3.4-5%; and 3% for M. incognita on resistant ''Speight G-28'' tobacco. A Pi of 750 eggs and larvae/500 cm³ of soil of all species except M. hapla caused a significant yield loss; only large numbers of M. hapla effected a loss. M. arenaria was the most tolerant species to ethoprop. Root-gall indices for microplot and most field-nematicide tests also were correlated negatively with yield. Relationships of Pi(s) and necrosis indices to yield were best characterized by linear regression models, whereas midseason numbers of eggs plus larvae (Pm) and sometimes gall indices vs. yield were better characterized by quadratic models. The relation of field Pm and yield was also adequately described by the Seinhorst model. Degrees of root galling, root necrosis, yield losses, and basic rates of reproduction on tobacco generally increased from M. hapla to M. incognita to M. arenaria to M. javanica. 相似文献

Changes in growth and phosphorus content in plants and seeds of fenugreek with increasing cadmium concentration was evaluated. Root length and shoot length ranged from 11.63 to 27.72 and from 9.70 to 54.78 cm, respectively. With the increasing Cd2+ concentration there was a significant decrease in root and shoot length, and fresh mass. Various phosphorus fractions of shoot decreased with increasing Cd2+ concentration except lipid P and nucleic acid P which increased at 65 and 95 d after sowing and protein P only increased at vegetative stage. In seeds (60 d after flowering) lipid P increased except at 2.5 μg(Cd2+) g?1 (soil) while protein P decreased. 相似文献

In two glasshouse experiments, relations between sugarbeet root dry weight (y, expressed as a percentage of the maximum dry root weight), and preplanting populations of Heterodera schachtii (Pi) were described by the equation y = 100(Z)Pi-T, in which Z = a constant slightly smaller than 1, and T = the tolerance limit (the value of Pi below which damage was not measureable). T varied with temperature; it was 65 eggs/100 g soil at 23 and 27 C and 430 eggs/100 g soil at 19 C. At 15 and 31 C there was no loss of root dry weight up to the maximum preplanting populations tested. In a field experiment in the Imperial Valley the relation between root yield (y) and Pi was y = 100 (0.99886)Pi - 100, and the tolerance limit was 100 eggs/100 g soil. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to investigate Cd phytoremediation ability of Indian mustard, Brassica juncea. The study was conducted with 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 mg Kg?1 CdCl2 in laboratory for 21 days and Cd concentrations in the root, shoot and leaf tissues were estimated by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The plant showed high Cd tolerance of up to 400 mg Kg?1 but there was a general trend of decline in the root and shoot length, tissue biomass, leaf chlorophyll and carotenoid contents. The tolerance index (TI) of plants were calculated taking both root and shoot lengths as variables. The maximum tolerance (TI shoot = 87.4 % and TI root = 89.6 %) to Cd toxicity was observed at 25 mg Kg?1, which progressively decreased with increase in dose. The highest shoot (10791 μg g?1 dry wt) and root (9602 μg g?1 dry wt) Cd accumulation was achieved at 200 mg kg?1 Cd treatment and the maximum leaf Cd accumulation was 10071.6 μg g?1 dry wt achieved at 100 mg Kg?1 Cd, after 21 days of treatment. The enrichment coefficient and root to shoot translocation factor were calculated, which, pointed towards the suitability of Indian mustard for removing Cd from soil. 相似文献

Root chilling has been shown to inhibit shoot photosynthesis yet the mechanism for such an action is not clearly understood. A study was designed to elucidate the mechanism by which root cooling may affect net photosynthesis. Roots of Artemisia tridentata seedlings were cooled from 20°C to 5°C while their shoot temperature remained at 20°C. This was conducted at two light levels (700 and 1300 μmol m?2 s?1). The time course of shoot net photosynthesis (A), stomatal conductance to water vapor (gs), intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci) and root respiration (Rs) were determined on a whole-plant basis. Root cooling caused a 25% reduction in A at high PPFD, which was preceded by more than 50% reduction of gs and about 10% reduction in Ci. A versus Ci curves for single branches showed no difference between cold and warm soil temperatures, although stomatal conductance was lower for the lower soil temperature. This suggests that a stomatal limitation may have been involved in the inhibition of A. Furthermore, a concomitant decrease of as much as 23% in leaf relative water content (RWC) indicated that root cooling affected stomatal closure due to decreased water supply to the foliage. At lower PPFD, root cooling did not cause a decrease in A of the whole plant despite a moderate drop in gs, Ci and RWC. Cold soil also led to a substantial and rapid reduction in root respiration rate (Rs) regardless of the light level. 相似文献

Complex diseases caused by Meloidogyne incognita and Fusarium fungus in cucumber is the most destructive disease under polyhouses. The experiment was conducted in the polyhouse of the Department of Horticulture, CCS HAU, Hisar, Haryana, India during summer season (2015–16) to evaluate the potential of bacterial and fungal biocontrol agents against Meloidogyne incognita and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum in cucumber. Bioagents - Trichoderma viride (Tv), Pseudomonas fluorescence (Pf), Purpureocillium lilacinum (Pl) were taken 10 and 20 g kg−1 seed and bioagents liquid formulation, 10- and 15-ml kg−1 seed, were mixed with the potted soil. Chemical as well as untreated check were also maintained. All the treatments significantly improved the plant growth parameter, viz., shoot length (SL), root length (RL), fresh shoot weight (FSW), fresh root weight (FRW), dry shoot weight (DSW) and dry root weight (DRW) as compared to untreated check. However, significant reduction in nematode population and maximum improvement in plant growth parameter was recorded with carbofuran followed by higher dose of bioagents liquid formulation. Among the bioagents, bioagents liquid formulation was most effective in suppressing root knot nematode galling (43 / root system) and final population in soil (131 J2s / 200 cc soil) and fungus wilt incidence (25 %) at 30th day of after germination and significantly improved the plant growth parameters - shoot length (147.3 cm), fresh shoot weight (55.6 g), dry shoot weight (22.51 g) and dry root weight (4.50 g) from other bioagents. Bioagents liquid formulation was effective in suppression of root-knot nematode and fungus complex disease than the powder formulations of bioagents. More studies should be needed in future to evaluate the efficacy of bioagents as seed treatments and soil applications under field conditions. 相似文献

The physiological reasons associated with differential sensitivity of C3 and C4 plant species to soil compaction stress are not well explained and understood. The responses of growth characteristics, changes in leaf water potential and gas exchange in maize and triticale to a different soil compaction were investigated. In the present study seedlings of triticale and maize, representative of C3 and C4 plants were subjected to low (L – 1.10 g cm−3), moderate (M – 1.34 g cm−3) and severe (S – 1.58 g cm−3) soil compaction level. Distinct differences in distribution of roots in the soil profile were observed. Plants of treatments M or S in comparison to treatment L, showed a decrease in leaf number, dry mass of stem, leaves and roots, and an increase in the shoot to root ratio. A drastic decrease in root biomass in M and S treatments in the soil profile on depth from 15 to 40 cm was observed. Any level of soil compaction did not influence the number of seminal and seminal-adventitious roots but decreased their length. The number and total length of nodal roots decreased with compaction. Changes of growth traits in M and S treatments in comparison to the L were greater for maize than for triticale and were accompanied by daily changes in water potential (ψ) and gas exchange parameters (PN, E, gs). Differences between M and S treatments in daily changes in ψ for maize were in most cases statistically insignificant, whereas for triticale, they were statistically significant. Differences in the responses of maize and triticale to soil compaction were found in PN, E and gs in particular for the measurements taken at 12:00 and 16:00. The highest correlation coefficients were obtained for the relationship between leaf water potential and stomatal conductance, both for maize and triticale, which indicates the close association between stomata behavior and changes in leaf water status. 相似文献

Seedlings of six temperate pasture species, three grasses and three legumes, were grown for 19–24 days in sterile agar or
sand-vermiculite media, in the presence of inorganic phosphate (Pi), glucose 1-phosphate (G1P) or inositol hexaphosphate (IHP). Agar (pH 5.0) had a low IHP-sorbing capacity while IHP was almost
completely sorbed in sand-vermiculite. Pi and G1P were relatively available in both media. Growth of each species was measured in relation to phosphorus (P) supply
and levels of Pi supply at which shoot yields reached 90% of maximum yield (Pcrit) were determined. Pcrit values were generally higher for the legume species than for the grasses, and were six-fold higher for Trifolium subterraneum L. seedlings when grown in sand-vermiculite relative to agar. When supplied with G1P, seedlings of the six species grew as
well as plants supplied with Pi. By contrast, IHP was a poor source of P for plant growth, even when supplied in agar at levels up to 40-fold greater than
Pcrit. Using the growth of T. subterraneum in the presence of IHP, it was calculated that roots released approximately 0.09 nkat phytase g-1 root dry wt per day, over 20 days of growth. By supplementing agar containing IHP with phytase from Aspergillus niger (E.C. 3.1.3.8; 0.012 nkat plant-1, or ∼1.3 nkat g-1 root dry wt), sufficient P became available to enable T. subterraneum seedlings to grow as well as Pi-supplied plants. These results indicate that while pasture plants can quite effectively use P from some organic P sources
(e.g. G1P), the acquisition of phytate-P is limited both by availability of substrate and the capacity of plant roots to hydrolyse
available IHP.

1. Seven fractions sedimenting at between 3000 and 120000g-min were prepared from a rat liver homogenate by differential centrifugation in buffered iso-osmotic sucrose. The following measurements were carried out on each of these fractions: Ruthenium Red-sensitive Ca2+ transport in the absence and in the presence of Pi as well as in the presence of N-ethylmaleimide to prevent Pi cycling, succinate-supported respiration in the absence and in the presence of ADP, the ΔE and −59 ΔpH components of the protonmotive force, cytochrome oxidase, uncoupler-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase, α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, Pi content and the effect on the `resting' rate of respiration of repeated additions of a fixed Ca2+ concentration. 2. Ca2+ transport either in the presence or in the absence of added Pi and in the presence of N-ethylmaleimide exhibits significantly higher rates in the fraction sedimenting at 8000g-min. By contrast, respiration in the presence or in the absence of added ADP and the values for ΔE and −59 ΔpH were similar in those fractions sedimenting between 4000 and 20000g-min, indicating that the driving force for Ca2+ transport was similar in each of these fractions. 3. Experiments designed to determine the capacity of the individual fractions for Ca2+, as measured by the effect of repeated additions of Ca2+ on the resting rate of respiration, showed that fraction 2, i.e. that sedimenting at 8000g-min, also exhibited the greatest tolerance towards the uncoupling action of the ion. 4. Of the three enzyme activity profiles, only that of α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase was similar to that of Ca2+ transport. Because previous workers have assigned this enzyme to loci in the inner peripheral membrane [Werner & Neupert (1972) Eur. J. Biochem. 25, 379–396], it is concluded that the Ruthenium Red-sensitive Ca2+- transport system also is located in this domain of the inner membrane. The relation of these findings to the mechanisms of mitochondrial Ca2+ transport and the biogenesis of mitochondria is discussed. 相似文献

Damage and reproductive potentials of Pratylenchus brachyurus and P. penetrans on soybean, Glycine max, cvs. Essex, Forrest, and Lee 68, were determined in microplot tests. Cultivar Essex was generally tolerant to P. brachyurus. Yield of Forrest was suppressed linearly with increasing Pi''s in the sandy soil (r = -0.92) and loamy sand soil (r = -0.99). Low to moderate Pi''s in the sandy clay loam gave an increase in yields as compared to plants without nematodes. Yield was not affected by this nematode in muck. Lee 68 was very sensitive to P. penetrans in microplots. Yield vs. Pi was fitted by a quadratic model (r = 0.82) with yield decreasing sharply as Pi''s were increased. The reproduction of both species decreased with increases in Pi. Lee 68 was a good host for P. penetrans, whereas Essex and Forrest were fair to poor hosts for P. brachyurus. 相似文献

Penetration of Crotalaria juncea (PI 207657 and cv. Tropic Sun) Dolichos lablab cv. Highworth, and Sesamum indicum by juveniles (J2) of Meloidogyne javanica was assessed to investigate the mechanism by which these plants may reduce nematode numbers in the field. Growth chamber experiments were conducted at 25 C, with vials containing 90 g sand infested with 450 J2; tomato (UC 204 C) was included as a susceptible host. Fifteen days after inoculation, roots were stained and the nematodes within stained roots were counted. Both C. juncea lines were highly resistant to penetration, as they contained significantly fewer nematodes per cm of root and per root system than the other plants. Although containing more nematodes per cm of root than C. juncea, S. indicum and D. lablab had significantly fewer nematodes per root system and per cm of root than tomato. Roots were significantly longer in the plants with the lowest nematode penetration. Although C. juncea, D. lablab, and S. indicum may have potential utility as cover or rotation crops in soil infested with M. javanica, further quantitative information on the reproduction of M. javanica and other nematodes in these plants is needed. 相似文献

The effects of Pratylenchus penetrans upon yields of ''Veebrite'' tomato were studied at initial soil population densities (Pi) of 360, 2,010, 4,580, and 14,360 nematodes/kg of soil in 20-cm (i.d.) clay-tile microplots. The lowest Pi appeared to stimulate fruit production. Higher Pi''s suppressed fruit production (total weight of marketable tomatoes and numbers of intermediate- and large-sized fruits), in comparison to control yields, the highest Pi resulted in 38% fewer fruits which weighed 44% less. These losses were at least partly due to a delay in fruit ripening, caused by the nematodes, which did not become apparent until the fourth week. Nematode populations in the soil increased at all but the highest Pi; final populations were around 7,000/kg of soil. Nematode populations in roots ranged from 230-590/gm of root at the completion of the experiment. Nematode control by fumigation would definitely be warranted at soil population densities of 2,000/kg or higher; with 500-2,000/kg, the decision to fumigate would depend on soil type and economic and hiological factors. 相似文献

This study compared mature Eucalyptus kochii subsp. plenissima trees in inner regions or edges of natural bushland to young trees belt-planted through cleared agricultural land as uncut saplings or regenerating coppice over 2.7 years at Kalannie, Western Australia (320 mm annual rainfall). We assessed the ability of the species to alter its gas exchange characteristics, leaf physical attributes, and water-use efficiency of foliar carbon assimilation (WUE i) or of total dry matter production (WUE DM). Stomatal conductance (g s) varied five-fold between treatment means, with coppices exhibiting greatest values and mature bush least. Photosynthetic rates followed this trend. Leaf photosynthetic capacity estimated by chlorophyll content varied 1.3-fold parallel with variations in leaf thickness, with coppices rating lowest and mature edge trees most highly. WUE i varied 1.5-fold between treatments and was greatest in mature inner-bush and edge trees. Leaf photosynthetic capacity and g s were both correlated with WUE i. Carbon isotope composition (δ13C values) of new shoot dry matter produced early in a seasonal flush were similar to those of root starch but when averaged over the whole season correlated well with WUE i and gas exchange characteristics of trees of each treatment. Coppices showed poorest WUE i and most negative shoot tip δ13C but their WUE DM was high. This discrepancy was suggested to relate to carbon allocation strategies in coppices favouring fast growth of replacement shoots but not of roots. Physiology of coppice growth of E. kochii is usefully geared towards both rapid and water-use efficient production of woody biomass in water limited environments. 相似文献

To assess the interactions between concentration of atmospheric CO2 and N supply, the response of Plantago major ssp. pleiosperma Pilger to a doubling of the ambient CO2 concentration of 350 µl l?1 was investigated in a range of exponential rates of N addition. The relative growth rate (RGR) as a function of the internal plant nitrogen concentration (Ni), was increased by elevated CO2 at optimal and intermediate Ni. The rate of photosynthesis, expressed per unit leaf area and plotted versus Ni. was increased by 20-30% at elevated CO2 for Ni above 30 mg N g?1 dry weight. However, the rate of photosynthesis, expressed on a leaf dry matter basis and plotted versus Ni, was not affected by the CO2 concentration. The allocation of dry matter between shoot and root was not affected by the CO2 concentration at any of the N addition rates. This is in good agreement with theoretical models. based on a balance between the rate of photosynthesis of the shoot and the acquisition of N by the roots. The concentration of total nonstructural carbohydrates (TNC) was increased at elevated CO2 and at N limitation, resulting in a shift in the partitioning of photosynthates from structural to nonstructural and, in terms of carbon balance, unproductive dry matter. The increase in concentration of TNC led to a decrease in both specific leaf area (SLA) and Ni at all levels of nutrient supply, and was the cause of the increased rate of photosynthesis per unit leaf area. Correction of the relationship between RGR and Ni for the accumulation of TNC made the effect of elevated CO2 on the relationship between RGR and Ni disappear. We conclude that the shift in the relationship between RGR and Ni was due to the accumulation of TNC and not due to differences in physiological variables such as photosynthesis and shoot and root respiration, changes in leaf morphology or allocation of dry matter. 相似文献

A field study was conducted to compare the formationand bacterial communities of rhizosheaths of wheat grown under wheat-cotton and wheat-rice rotation and to study the effects of bacterial inoculation on plant growth. Inoculation of Azospirillum sp. WS-1 and Bacillus sp. T-34 to wheat plants increased root length, root and shoot dry weight and dry weight of rhizosheathsoil when compared to non-inoculated control plants, and under both crop rotations. Comparing both crop rotations, root length, root and shoot dry weight and dry weight of soil attached with roots were higher under wheat-cotton rotation. Organic acids (citric acid, malic acid, acetic acid and oxalic acid) were detected in rhizosheaths from both rotations, with malic acid being most abundant with 24.8±2 and 21.3±1.5 μg g-1 dry soil in wheat-cotton and wheat-rice rotation, respectively. Two sugars (sucrose, glucose) were detected in wheat rhizosheath under both rotations, with highest concentrations of sucrose (4.08±0.5 μg g-1and 7.36±1.0 μg g-1) and glucose (3.12±0.5 μg g-1 and 3.01± μg g-1) being detected in rhizosheaths of non-inoculated control plants under both rotations. Diversity of rhizosheath-associated bacteria was evaluated by cultivation, as well as by 454-pyrosequencing of PCR-tagged 16S rRNA gene amplicons. A total of 14 and 12 bacterial isolates predominantly belonging to the genera Arthrobacter, Azospirillum, Bacillus, Enterobacter and Pseudomonaswere obtained from the rhizosheath of wheat grown under wheat-cotton and wheat-rice rotation, respectively. Analysis of pyrosequencing data revealed Proteobacteria, Bacteriodetes and Verrucomicrobia as the most abundant phyla in wheat-rice rotation, whereas Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Chloroflexi, Acidobacteria, Planctomycetes and Cyanobacteria were predominant in wheat-cotton rotation. From a total of 46,971 sequences, 10.9% showed ≥97% similarity with 16S rRNA genes of 32 genera previously shown to include isolates with plant growth promoting activity (nitrogen fixation, phosphate-solubilization, IAA production). Among these, the most predominant genera were Arthrobacter, Azoarcus, Azospirillum, Bacillus, Cyanobacterium, Paenibacillus, Pseudomonas and Rhizobium. 相似文献

The effects of soil temperature and initial inoculum density (Pi) of Meloidogyne incognito and M. javanica on growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. Anza) and nematode reproduction were studied in controlled temperature baths in the glasshouse. Nematode reproduction was directly proportional to temperature between 14 and 30 C for M. incognita and between 18 and 26 C for M. javanica. Reproduction rates (Pf/Pi, where Pf = final number of eggs) for Pi''s of 3,000, 9,000, and 30,000 eggs/plant were greatest at each temperature when Pi = 3,000. Maximum M. incognita reproduction rate (Pf/Pi = 51.12) was at 30 C. At 26 C, M. javanica reproduction (Pf/Pi = 14.82, 9.02, and 4.23 for Pi = 3,000, 9,000, and 30,000, respectively) was about half that of M. incognita when Pi = 3,000 or 9,000 but similar when Pi = 30,000. Reproduction of both species was depressed between 14 and 18 C. Shoot and root growth and head numbers were inversely related to soil temperature between 14 and 30 C but were not affected by the Pi of M. incognita when 7 d old seedlings were inoculated. When newly germinated seedlings were inoculated with M. incognita or M. javanica, the Pi did not affect shoot and root fresh weights, shoot/root ratio, and tillering, but it did reduce root dry weight (M. javanica at 26 C) and increase shoot dry weight (M. incognita at 18-22 C). The optimum temperature range is lower for wheat growth than for nematode reproduction. Wheat cv. Anza is a good host for M. incognita and M. javanica, but it is tolerant to both species. 相似文献

Accumulation of heavy metals (HMs) in cultivated soils is a continuing environmental problem in many parts of the world. An increase in HM concentration can enhance uptake of toxic metals by crops and enter the human food chain. In this study, the uptake behavior of wheat and safflower was evaluated in a calcareous soil by using 12 undisturbed columns in which half were artificially contaminated. Heavy metals in the form of CdCl2 (15 mg Cd kg? 1), CuSO4 (585 mg Cu kg? 1), Pb(NO3)2 (117 mg Pb kg? 1), and ZnCl2 (1094 mg Zn kg? 1) were sprayed on the soil surface and completely mixed in the top 10 cm. The background total concentrations of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn were 1.6, 29.5, 17.5 and 61.2 mg kg? 1, respectively. After metal application, half of the columns (3 contaminated and 3 uncontaminated) were sown with wheat (Triticum aestivum) and the other half with safflower (Carthamus tinctorious) and grown for 74 days until maturity. After harvesting, soil columns were cut into 10-cm sections and analyzed for HNO3- and DTPA-extractable metal concentrations. Metal concentrations were also measured in different plant tissues. The results showed that artificial contamination of topsoil decreased the transpiration rate of wheat by 12% and that of safflower by 6%. In contaminated columns, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn accumulation in wheat shoot was greater by 8.0-, 1.9-, 3.0-, and 2.1-fold than the control, respectively. Accordingly, these numbers were 46.0-, 1.3-, 1.7-, and 1.6-fold in safflower shoot. Soil contamination with HMs resulted in a 55% decrease in shoot dry matter yield of wheat while it had no significant effect on shoot dry matter of safflower. The normalized water consumption for safflower was therefore not affected by metal contamination (≈ 13 mm H2O g? 1 of dry weight for all safflower and uncontaminated wheat treatments), while contaminated wheat was much less water efficient at about 27 mm H2O g? 1 dry weight. It was concluded that although artificial contamination had a negative effect on wheat growth, it did not affect safflower's normal growth and water efficiency. 相似文献

Effect of Foliar Application of Chitin and Chitosan Oligosaccharides on Photosynthesis of Maize and Soybean 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
On the first day after foliar application, chitosan pentamer (CH5) and chitin pentamer (CHIT5) decreased net photosynthetic rate (P
N) of soybean and maize, however, on subsequent days there was an increase in P
N in some treatments. CH5 caused an increase in maize P
N on day 3 at 10–5 and 10–7 M; the increases were 18 and 10 % over the control plants. This increase was correlated with increases in stomatal conductance (g
s) and transpiration rate (E), while the intercellular CO2 concentration (C
i) was not different from the control plants. P
N of soybean plants did not differ from the control plants except for treatment CH5 (10–7 M) which caused an 8 % increase on day 2, along with increased g
s, E, and C
i. On days 5 and 6 the CHIT5 treatment caused a 6–8 % increase in P
N of maize, which was accompanied by increases in g
s, E, and C
i. However, there was no such increase for soybean plants treated with CHIT5. In general, foliar application of high molecular mass chitin (CHH) resulted in decreased P
N, particularly for 0.010 % treated plants, both in maize and soybean. Foliar applications of chitosan and chitin oligomers did not affect (p > 0.05) maize or soybean height, root length, leaf area, shoot or root or total dry mass. 相似文献

Two teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) phenotypes differing in their leaf length/breadth ratios were subjected to water stress by withholding water supply for three weeks. Growth rates of whole plants, developing leaves (1st and 2nd from shoot apices), and 2nd and 3rd internodes were higher in broad leaved (BL) phenotype than in narrow leaved (NL) phenotype before and after imposing water stress treatment. However, the effect of water stress on these parameters was higher in the BL phenotype than in the NL one. Diurnal course of net photosynthetic rate (P N) of 3rd or 4th leaves from shoot apices measured under well-watered conditions was higher for the NL than BL phenotype. P N, stomatal conductance (g s), and transpiration rate (E) in both phenotypes were negatively affected by water stress and their decline under water stress was significantly higher in the BL than NL plants. 相似文献
