草坪的冬季管理

冬季来临,草坪草进入休眠期。草坪草的冬季管理好坏,直接影响来年草坪的生长和提高草坪的观赏性。多年来,根据我们绿化养护的经验,并根据草坪草的类型,分别介绍其冬季养护管理的具体措施。 一、暖季型草坪的管理 暖季型草坪草一般有马尼拉草、台湾青和天鹅绒草等。进入冬季,此类草坪草处于休眠状态,地上部分已枯萎,它们除了自身微     

草坪蒸散研究进展

草坪蒸散量是指导草坪合理灌溉的重要指标。自20世纪中叶以来,以节水为目的的草坪蒸散研究越来越受到人们的重视。草坪蒸散研究的内容主要包括相互关联的3个方面：草坪蒸散率的测定与比较,草坪蒸散机制的研究和草坪节水灌溉的研究。草坪蒸散率在不同草种间存在不同程度的差异。暖季型草坪草和冷季型草坪草相比普遍具有较低的草坪蒸散率。暖季型草坪草的夏季日平均最大蒸散率为3.0-9.0mm,而冷季型草坪草的为3.6-12.6mm。密度大,生长缓慢的杂交狗牙根、结缕草、野牛草和假俭草的耗水量很低,细羊茅的耗水量中等,而草地早熟禾、高羊茅、1年生早熟禾和匍匐剪股颖的耗水量很大。同种草坪草的不同品种的草坪蒸散率存在差异。有些草种内品种间差异的程度高达64％,不亚于种间。冷季型草坪草品种的蒸散率与留茬量显著相关,但环境因子对品种的蒸散率影响很大,品种的蒸散特性不稳定。与冷季型草坪草相比,暖季型草坪草的种内品种间蒸散率的差异和谐较小。草坪的冠层是草坪蒸散的一个主要外部条件,具有较低蒸散率的草坪往往具备高冠层阻力和低叶面积。土壤水分不受限制时,不同的暖季型草坪草种间的草坪蒸散率与叶片背面的气孔密度显著负相关。但在种内品种间没有表现出相关性。冷季型草坪草种间和种内的叶片气孔数目和草坪的蒸散率不相关。草坪的作物系数是确定最适灌溉量的关键参数,线性梯度灌溉系统比小型蒸渗仪提供的草坪作物系数更接近于实际。当草坪的质量维持在可接受的水平时,以彭曼公式推测的苜蓿的潜在蒸散量为参照蒸散量,高羊茅草坪的作物系数为0.60-0.80,草地早熟禾草坪的作物系数为0.50-0.80。基于草坪冠层温度的作物水分胁迫系数（CWSI）是确定灌溉时机的比较合理的指标。CWSI在不同的季节和不同的草种间表现不稳定,并且这种方法的节水效果也表现不一,还处于发展阶段。草坪蒸散的研究在我国几乎处于空白状态,开展我国的草坪蒸散研究,寻求适合的草坪节水途径已势在必行。     

地毯草的光合特性研究

地毯草是一种典型的暖季型草坪草。用Li 6400便携式光合分析仪测定地毯草的光合特性。地毯草的光合日进程呈单峰型,无"午休"现象且受非气孔限制,最大净光合速率出现在14∶00,变化趋势与光合有效辐射(PAR)、气温(Ta)、蒸腾速率(Tr)等因子相同,与空气相对湿度(RH)、胞间CO2浓度(Ci)等相反;其光饱合点超过2000μmol.m 2s 1,最大净光合速率达22μmol.m 2s 1,暗呼吸速率为1.34μmol.m 2s 1,CO2补偿点为0.97μmol.mol 1,光补偿点为22.2μmol.m 2s 1,羧化效率为0.2539μmol.m 2s 1,表观光量子效率高达0.0592μmol.mol 1;表明地毯草是一种具有较强耐荫性的C4型阳性的暖季型草坪草,除了在园林中可以广泛用作草坪地被外还可以在一些较荫湿的特殊地带作为绿化和防护之用。

假俭草(Eremochloa ophiuroides(Munro.)Hack.)是主产于中国的世界著名的暖季型草坪草.全面系统地研究假俭草在遗传多样性和抗性生理等各方面的变异变化规律对于开发利用假俭草种质资源具有十分重要的意义.在综述假俭草种质资源的收集、整理和初步评价的基础上,重点介绍了近年来国内外在其遗传多样性(包括形态水平、细胞水平和分子水平)、抗性生理、育种进程和栽培管理措施等方面的研究进展.     

三种草坪草的茎、叶解剖结构及其坪用性状

利用石蜡片法,对台湾草（Zoysia tenuifoia Willd.ex Trin.)、海雀稗（Paspalum vaginatum Sw.）、狗牙根[Cnodon dactylon(L.)Pers．]三种细叶暖季型草坪草的叶片有茎的解剖结构进行了研究。结果表明：叶片及茎的解剖结构与植物的耐旱性、耐践踏性和弹性等坪用特性有着密切联系。三种植物中,台湾草因叶片表皮细胞、泡状细胞、维管束鞘、机械组织有茎中纤维带的特征,而在耐旱性、耐踏踏性和弹性等坪用特性上表现出优于其他二种草坪草;狗牙根的耐旱性较强,耐踏踏性和弹性一般,海雀稗则在这几项坪用特征上均较弱。     

8个禾本科草坪草品种遗传多样性的RAPD分析

利用RAPD技术,对禾本科4属4种8个品种的草坪草进行遗传多样性分析。15个有效引物用于PCR扩增,共获得RAPD谱带144条带,多态性带占63.2%。8个草坪草品种间的遗传距离在0.0857~0.2928之间,脱壳狗牙根与普通狗牙根间的遗传距离最小,交战2号与爱神特之间的遗传距离最大。用UPGMA和邻接法进行聚类分析,得到2个拓扑结构基本一致的树系图。同一种不同品种间的亲缘关系最近;不同属种间的遗传距离加大,同族不同属的草坪草基本构成一支;4个暖季型草坪草品种构成一个单系类群,但属于冷季型草种的黑麦草(爱神特)单独构成一支,并未与同族的其它3个冷季型草坪草品种(高羊茅)聚在一起。本研究不支持将黑麦草属与羊茅属放在同一族内的分类处理,并建议将高羊茅划分为过渡类型的草坪草。

冷季型草坪草的耐热性调控研究进展

在非生物胁迫中,高温是影响草坪植物特别是对冷季型草坪草生长和发育最重要的生态因子之一. 高温胁迫会导致冷季型草坪草生长受到抑制、草坪质量下降、草坪植株体内的生理生化代谢紊乱,细胞内产生大量氧自由基,使膜脂过氧化,植株体内蛋白质变性,最后导致细胞死亡. 因此,如何提高冷季型草坪草的耐热性是目前冷季型草坪在热带、亚热带地区建植能否安全越夏的重要问题. 文中综述了国内外冷季型草坪草耐热性调控的研究进展, 在阐明冷季型草坪草耐热性调控原理的基础上,报道了用于草坪草耐热性鉴定的形态、生态、生理和生化等指标,以及通过降低土壤温度、叶面喷施生长调节剂、施肥、灌溉和修剪等养护管理措施来提高冷季型草坪草的耐热性研究进展.     

Comparative analysis of multiple disease resistance in ryegrass and cereal crops

Ryegrass (Lolium spp.) is among the most important forage crops in Europe and Australia and is also a popular turfgrass in North America. Previous genetic analysis based on a three-generation interspecific (L. perenne x L. multiflorum) ryegrass population identified four quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for resistance to gray leaf spot (Magneporthe grisea) and four QTLs for resistance to crown rust (Puccinia coronata). The current analysis based on the same mapping population detected seven QTLs for resistance to leaf spot (Bipolaris sorokiniana) and one QTL for resistance to stem rust (Puccinia graminis) in ryegrass for the first time. Three QTLs for leaf spot resistance on linkage groups (LGs) 2 and 4 were in regions of conserved synteny to the positions of resistance to net blotch (Drechslera teres) in barley (Hordeum vulgare). One ryegrass genomic region spanning 19 cM on LG 4, which contained three QTLs for resistance to leaf spot, gray leaf spot, and stem rust, had a syntenic relationship with a segment of rice chromosome 3, which contained QTLs for resistance to multiple diseases. However, at the genome-wide comparison based on 72 common RFLP markers between ryegrass and cereals, coincidence of QTLs for disease resistance to similar fungal pathogens was not statistically significant.     

The Effects of Temperature on the Respiratory Responses of Groundsel (Senecio vulgaris) to Infection by Rust (Puccinia lagenophorae)

Groundsel (Senecio vulgaris) was grown in either a warm (20°C) or a cool (8°C) controlled environment and infected with Puccinia lagenophorae. Dark respiration, measured over the range 6 to 18°C, was higher in leaves of healthy plants grown under low temperatures than in those of plants grown under high temperatures. Infection increased the rates of dark respiration in the region of sporulating lesions in both sets of plants, but the greater increase in plants grown under warm conditions resulted in both sets having similar respiration rates across the range 6 to 18°C. The conclusion that the magnitude of the respiratory increase following rust infection depends upon the conditions under which plants were grown is supported by literature on other rust diseases and has implications for the utilization of carbohydrate reserves and the survival of both rust and host populations over winter.     

Seasonal and habitat variation in the diet of the tawny owl ( Strix aluco ) in central Poland during unusually warm years

In the temperate climate zone in Europe the composition of the diet of predatory vertebrates shows evident variability between the warm and cold season. However, the recently observed climate warming can mitigate the effect of snow cover and low temperatures on the winter foraging ecology of raptors, thus affecting trophic webs in ecosystems. We analysed diet variability in the tawny owl Strix aluco, between the warm and cold seasons of four unusually warm years (as compared to reference years of 1950–2000) in two habitats (forest vs. farmland) in Central Poland. The most important prey group in the tawny owl’s diet were mammals, constituting over 80% of prey items. There were distinct diet differences between the two seasons: insectivorous mammals, birds and amphibians were caught more often during the warm season, and Muridae and Arvicolidae during the cold season. The proportion of insectivorous mammals, voles and amphibians was significantly higher in forest than in farmland. Diet diversity, analysed with rarefaction methods and expressed as the expected cumulative mammal species number for a given number of randomly sampled preyed mammals, was independent of season and higher in forest than in the agricultural habitat. We conclude that even during unusually warm years tawny owls change significantly their feeding habits between the warm and cold season. The effect of season, habitat and weather factors on diet variability in raptors are discussed.     

冷季型草坪草对高温胁迫的生理生态适应机理研究进展

高温是制约草坪草(尤其是冷季型草坪草)生长的重要生态因子之一。然而,草坪草本身都具有一定的耐热性,特别是通过其体内的一些生理和生化机制能够抵御和适应一定程度和时间的热胁迫,比如通过植物体内细胞膜膜脂组分的变化、抗氧化系统对氧自由基的清除、热激蛋白的合成以及一些其它物质代谢的渗透调节以获得耐热性,从而缓减高温对其的伤害。本文结合作者数年的研究成果,就这两个方面综述了国内外的研究进展并提出了目前有关这些方面研究的不足以及今后研究的重点,以便为揭示冷季型草坪草在夏季所受高温伤害机理以及热适应机理提供科学的理论依据和实践指导。     

Epidemiology of maize rust, Puccinia sorghi

The development and spread of maize rust from an inoculated circular plot was studied during 1975. Results from a Burkard volumetric spore trap sited in the centre of the inoculated plot showed that the daily peak urediniospore concentration in the atmosphere occurred at about 1300 h. During the season atmospheric urediniospore concentration increased to a plateau and later decreased mainly through lack of host material. The spread of the pathogen away from the inoculated plot was related to the increase in atmospheric urediniospore concentration and warm temperatures. Disease gradients along the eight major compass directions demonstrated the influence of wind on the spread of the pathogen. As the season progressed gradients tended to flatten because of secondary spread of the pathogen.     

Variation in the occurrence of rust (Melampsora spp.) and other diseases and pests, in short-rotation coppice plantations of Salix in the British Isles

A proportional odds model was employed to analyse simple assessments of disease and pest severity in plantings of short-rotation coppice willows at 18 sites in the UK over a 5-year period (1987–1991). Of a wide range of fungal diseases and pests encountered, the most severe and damaging were rusts, caused by Melampsora spp., and feeding damage due to beetles of the family Chrysomelidae. For rust, the model revealed highly significant (P < 0.001) interactions between the main factors, disease development within a season and between seasons, clones and sites. Within seasons, rust severity increased more at sites in the northern than in the southern UK, due mainly to low levels of occurrence at the northern sites early in the season. There was a gradual increase in rust severity over the 5-year period, although clones differed both in terms of disease severity and the extent of change in severity in any one year. Beetle feeding damage was also analysed in a similar way, indicating a general increase from 1987–1989, but also revealing differential patterns over time and between sites.     

Origins of resistances to rust and late leaf spot in peanut (Arachis hypogaea,Fabaceae)

The cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea, Fabaceae) is believed to have originated along the eastern slopes of the Andes in Bolivia and northern Argentina. The crop is now grown throughout tropical and warm temperate regions. Among diseases attacking peanuts, rust caused byPuccinia arachidis and late leaf spot caused byPhaeoisariopsis personata are the most important and destructive on a worldwide scale. Both pathogens, restricted in host range to Arachis, probably originated and coevolved in South America along with their hosts. In recent years there has been much emphasis on screening of peanut germplasm for resistance to these diseases. At the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISA T), India, some 10,000 peanut germplasm accessions were screened for resistance to rust and late leaf spot during 1977–1985 and sources of resistance indentified for either or both pathogens. Of the resistant genotypes, about 87% belonged to A. hypogaea var.fastigiata and 13% to var.hypogaea; 84% originated in South America or had South American connections. A high percentage (75%) had their origin in Peru (believed to be a secondary gene center for var.hirsuta and var.fastigiata,), suggesting that resistance to rust and late leaf spot diseases might have evolved in that country.     

Evaluation of the Single Tillers Method for Yield Loss Assessment in Wheat Under Israeli Conditions

A method for estimating disease induced yield losses by using single wheat tillers as experimental units was evaluated under commercial field conditions. Natural epidemics of Septoria tritici blotch, yellow rust and leaf rust which developed late in the season had no effect on the vegetative growth of the host, but caused only reduced kernels weight. The optimal sample size was determined experimentally to be 300 tillers. Losses were also estimated in the same experiments using field plots as experimental units. Yield loss estimates derved from using single tillers were significantly correlated with those derived from using field plots. The relationship between disease and yield varied significantly among fields, even in a given year, region and cultivar. Thus, it was concluded that this relationship has to be established empirically wherever yield losses are to be estimated, and that under Israeli conditions it may be done by using the single tillers method.
