Changes in the freezing tolerance for Silene acaulis L., a subarcticand arctic species of circumpolar distribution, were examinedto understand the extent of cold hardening and dehardening thatoccurs seasonally and with changes in plant phenology. Shootsof whole plants collected on a mountain ridge near Tromsø,Norway (69° N, 700 m above sea level) were frozen undercontrolled conditions at cooling rates of 3 to 4°C h-1.The extent of freezing-induced injury was examined both by chlorophyllfluorescence and by visual inspection with a microscope. A freezingtolerance level of -30°C was observed in mid-winter, basedon a 50% lethal point for freezing injury. Loss of cold hardinesswas substantial in mid-summer, with freezing tolerance of -8·5to -9°C observed in mid-July. Plants still covered by snowin mid-July had a freezing tolerance of -12·5 to -13°C.The maintenance of a basic level of freezing tolerance throughoutthe summer may be adaptive in the northern latitude-regionsbecause of the occurrence of episodic frosts during the growingseason.Copyright 1993, 1999 Academic Press Silene acaulis L., Caryophyllaceae, freezing tolerance, chlorophyll fluorescence, cushion plant 相似文献

Stimulation of the rate of photosynthesis at 2·0 kPaO2 in comparison with 21 kPa O2 and carbohydrate accumulationover 4h were measured during exposure of sunflower (Helianthusannuus L.) and rape (Brassica napus L.), grown at 30 °Cand 13 °C, to temperatures between 7 °C and 35 °C.The effect of reducing source: sink ratio by shading on theresponse of photosynthetic rate to temperature was also determined.Stimulation of photosynthesis by 2·0 kPa O2 in comparisonwith 21 kPa O2 decreased over 4 h at cool temperatures in sunflowerplants grown at 30 °C but not in rape grown at 30 °C.Stimulation did not decrease over 4 h in plants grown at 13CC. Sucrose was the main carbohydrate accumulated over 4 h;its accumulation increased with decreasing temperature. Starchaccumulation either decreased or remained the same with decreasingtemperature. In plants grown at 30 °C more carbohydrateaccumulated between 8 °C and 21 °C in sunflower thanin rape, but more carbohydrate accumulated at 30 °C in rapethan in sunflower. In plants grown at 13 °C much less carbohydrateaccumulated between 13 °C and 23 °C than in plants grownat 30 °C. Photosynthetic rate in plants grown at 30 °Cexposed to between 20 °C and 35 °C over 32 h (14 h light-10h dark-8 h light), declined over 32 h at 20 °C and 25 °Cin sunflower and at 20 °C in rape. This fall over 32 h,especially at 20 °C in sunflower, was significantly reducedby shading the rest of the plant. Shading had little effecton photosynthetic rate above 25 °C. The work confirms thatlow temperature imposes a sink-limitation on photosynthesiswhich occurs at higher temperatures in sunflower than in rape.This limitation may be relieved by decreasing the source:sinkratio.

Field measurements of xylem sap osmotic and pressure potentialwere made on sugar maple trecs (Acer saccharum Marsh) duringthe winter and spring of 3 years to determine whether the hydrostaticpressure was osmotically generated. Sap osmotic potential waslow enough to account for the hydrostatic pressure but the dynamicsof its diurnal behaviour indicated that osmotic potential wasnot directly responsible for hydrostatic pressure. The diurnalcourse of hydrostatic pressure showed definite peaks but osmoticpotential often did not. The magnitude of the diurnal changesin hydrostatic pressure was approximately 0·15 MPa whereasthe changes in osmotic potential were only 0·05 MPa.Because the sap osmoticum is primarily sucrose, and starch isstored in the xylem throughout the tree, the temperature dependenceof the sucrose-starch interconversion system was investigated.More active amylase was formed in maple twigs after incubationat 0°C and 4°C than at 3, 6 or 15°C. Therate of starch hydrolysis by maple amylase increased with temperature,reaching a maximum at approximately 45°C. There was somestarch hydrolysis at 3°C. The starch hydrolysis systemthus indicated no critical role for temperature fluctuationsabout 0°C. Starch was found to be densely stored in therays of the trunk and twigs and around the central pith in thetwigs. Key words: Acer succhmum Marsh, Osmotic potential, Xylem sap pressure 相似文献

Survival and Vigour of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) Seeds Stored at Low and Very-low Moisture Contents 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Seeds of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and sunflower (Helianthusannuus L.) were stored hermetically at 35 °C with 11 differentmoisture contents between 1·3 and 6·9%, and between1·3 and 7·1% of fresh mass, respectively. Germinationand vigour (mean germination time, root length, seedling dryweight) were determined after storage for 0, 8, or 16 weeks(sunflower) or 0, 8, 16, or 48 weeks (lettuce) in these environmentsfollowed by various humidification treatments (to avoid imbibitioninjury). The range of seed storage moisture contents over whichdeterioration was minimized depended upon the criterion of deteriorationused, and varied somewhat between species. Comparison of theseranges for seeds stored for the longest durations showed thatfor some criteria seed performance was poorer (P < 0·05)at both the lowest and highest moisture contents investigatedthan at certain of the intermediate storage moisture contents(e.g, most rapid germination occurred in sunflower followingstorage at 2·2-4·7% moisture content), whereasfor other criteria all the drier storage moisture contents weresuperior to the more moist (e,g. greatest seedling growth occurredin sunflower following storage at 1·3-5·1% moisturecontent). But none of these results suggested that lettuce andsunflower seeds stored hermetically at 2·5-3·0%or 2·2-2·5% moisture content, respectively, wereless vigorous than at any other moisture content tested. Inboth species, these storage moisture contents are in equilibriumwith about 8-10% relative humidity (r.h.) at 20 °C, whichis similar to and indeed marginally less than the 10-13% r.h.recommended following earlier studies on the longevity of seedsin hermetic storage at much warmer temperatures. Thus, theseresults show no evidence that the optimum seed moisture contentfor storage increases with decrease in temperature, at leastover the range 35-65 °C, as has been suggested elsewhere.We conclude that the international recommendation for the long-termseed storage for genetic conservation at 5 ± 1% moisturecontent should not be revised upwardly, and that in situationswhere refrigeration cannot be provided storage at even lowermoisture contents is worthy of further investigation for thoseseeds in which desiccation at 20 °C to equilibrium at 10%r.h. results in moisture contents well below 5%.Copyright 1995,1999 Academic Press Helianthus annuus L., sunflower, Lactuca sativa L., lettuce, desiccation, seed storage, seed vigour 相似文献

Ellis, R. H., Simon, G. and Covell, S. 1987. The influence oftemperature on seed germination rate in grain legumes. III.A comparison of five faba bean genotypes at constant temperaturesusing a new screening method.J. exp. Bot. 38: 10331043. A screening procedure which requires information on the progressof germination at only four temperatures was able to definethe response of the rate of seed germination to sub- and supra-optimaltemperatures for whole seed populations of each of five fababean (Vicia faba L.) genotypes. In one population of the cultivarSutton the models for sub- and supra-optimal temperatures derivedfrom the screen satisfactorily explained observations from anearlier separate investigation at a wider range of temperatures.Two discrete groups of genotypes were identified. Within eachgroup the base temperature Tb did not differ significantly:for the landraces Lebanese Local Large and Syrian Local Largethe value was estimated to be 7·5°C and forthe landrace Lebanese Local Small and the cultivars Sutton andAquadulce it was 4·0°C. The optimum temperaturefor the 50th percentile [To(50), at which temperature the rateof germination is maximal] also varied between these two groupsof genotypes, being 20·521·5°C forthe first group and 24·526·0°C forthe second. In several temperature regimes some of the viableseeds within a seed population failed to germinate. Nevertheless,even at temperatures where a substantial proportion of the seedsfailed to germinate the models defined by the screening methodpredicted the germination times of those seeds which did germinate.

Theoretical Basis of Protocols for Seed Storage III. Optimum Moisture Contents for Pea Seeds Stored at Different Temperatures 总被引:6,自引:1,他引:5
In previous work, we demonstrated that there was an optimummoisture level for seed storage at a given temperature (Vertucciand Roos, 1990), and suggested, using thermodynamic considerations,that the optimum moisture content increased as the storage temperaturedecreased (Vertucci and Roos, 1993b). In this paper, we presentdata from a two year study of aging rates in pea (Pisum sativum)seeds supporting the hypothesis that the optimum moisture contentfor storage varies with temperature. Seed viability and vigourwere monitored during storage under dark or lighted conditionsat relative humidities between 1 and 90%, and temperatures between-5 and 65°C. The optimum moisture content varied from 0·015g H2O g-1 d.wt at 65°C to 0·101 g H2O g-1 d.wt at15°C under dark conditions and from 0·057 at 35°Cto 0·092 g H2O g-1 d.wt at -5°C under lighted conditions.Our results suggest that optimum moisture contents cannot beconsidered independently of temperature. This conclusion hasimportant implications for 'ultra-dry' and cryopreservationtechnologies.Copyright 1994, 1999 Academic Press Seed storage, seed aging, seed longevity, water content, temperature, glass, desiccation damage, ultradry, Pisum sativum L., pea, cryopreservation 相似文献

The uptake of the rubidium ion by well-washed disks of carrotparenchyma has been determined at 0·2° C and 25°C., in the presence and absence of 104M. dinitrophenol,from solutions of rubidium chloride containing 0·5 and5·0 meq./l. Readily-exchangeable and non-exchangeablefractions were separately indentified. The lowering of temperature and application of DNP reduced themagnitude of both ion fractions at each of the two concentrationsof rubidium chloride. Despite the fact that the uptake of ionsinto an exchangeable form at 5·0 meq./l. was about 3times greater, the combined effect of low temperature and thepresence of DNP reduced this fraction by a relatively constantabsolute amount. Under the same conditions the uptake of ionsinto a non-exchangeable form from each concentration was reducedby approximately the same percentage. Over a 6-hour period the rate of uptake of rubidium into a non-exchangeableform at 25° C. was relatively constant, whereas at 0·2°C. there was an initial rapid uptake lasting for about 60 minutesfollowed by a slow steady uptake. The Q10 of this latter processmeasured after 360 minutes was 2·3. It is concluded that an appreciable part of the capacity ofthe tissue to hold ions by exchange is dependent on concurrentmetabolism. The significance of measurements of exchangeability in the interpretationof mechanisms of ion uptake is discussed. 相似文献

Temperature-stress Pretreatment in Barley Anther Culture 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Methods of pretreating anthers at different temperatures priorto culture have been tested, with respect to pollen-callus productionand plant regeneration, in Hordeum vulgare cv. Sabarlis. For callus production, pretreatment of excised spikes (in sealedPetri dishes) was more effective than pretreatment of excisedtillers (in water or in polythene) at both 4 and 25 °C.Pretreatment of individual anthers at these temperatures wasdeleterious. Greater callus yields resulted from pretreatmentat 4 than at 25 °C, both for spikes and tillers, 35weeks being required for maximal yields at 4 °C and 35days at 25 °C. At 4 °C, a shorter pretreatment was requiredfor spikes than for tillers. Pretreatment of spikes was alsomore effective at 4 than at 7, 14 or 20 °C. Pretreatmentof individual spikelets at 4 °C was as effective as thatof whole spikes. For plant regeneration, calluses derived from pretreatment ofspikes were more effective than those derived from pretreatmentof tillers. More plants resulted from pretreatment at 4 thanat 25 °C, both for spikes and tillers. Maximal pretreatmenttimes for plant regeneration generally exceeded those for callusproduction. Following spike pretreatment at 4 °C the maximumfor plant regeneration exceeded that for callus production byabout 2 weeks. With this optimal pretreatment approximately60 per cent of the calluses gave rise to plantlets. Among this60 per cent, for every three calluses giving albinos, two gavegreen plantlets, equivalent to five green plantlets on averagefor every 100 anthers (= two spikes) cultured. The ratio ofgreen to albino plantlets was lower for all other pretreatments. Hordeum vulgare L., barley, anther culture, pollen callus, pollen plant-production, temperature stress 相似文献

Flowering of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) HEYNH., var. "Stockholm",plants, raised from vernalized seeds, may be modified by thephotoperiodic conditions or a short (1 week) exposure to hightemperature (32°C) following vernalization, depending onthe duration of the cold treatment. When vernalization is partial(1 to 4 weeks at 4°C), both short days (8hr light) and hightemperature have a devernalizing effect, but when the cold requirementhas been fully satisfied, after 5 to 6 weeks at 4°C, devernalizationis no longer possible. There is no interaction between photoperiodand high temperature. Fully vernalized plant flower in bothlong and short days, although flowering is delayed in shortdays. This delay is not a photoperiodic effect, however, butmay be ascribed to the decreased radiant energy available inan 8-hr photoperiod. Thus, fully vernalized Arabidopsis plantsare day-neutral.

Temperature dependence of sediment-water exchange in Lake Grevelingen,SW Netherlands 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Extended abstract Lake Grevelingen is a brackish water lake in the SW Netherlands. The lake has an area of 108 km2, a mean depth of 5.3 m (maximum 48 m), a mean chlorinity of 13 to 16%0 Cl−, and a hydraulic residence time of about 8 years.
Mass budget studies have shown a consistent seasonal pattern in the phosphorus sediment-water exchange in Lake Grevelingen
(Kelderman 1980). From May to August a P mobilization from the sediment takes place, estimated atca. 12.5 mg P · m−2 · day−1. The sediment accumulatesca. 5.5 mg P · m−2 · day−1 during the rest of the year. Temperature may be an important factor in establishing this pattern.
Sediment-water exchange was studied by means of laboratory experiments under specified conditions. Sediment cores (30 cm depth,
11 cm diameter) were taken at four stations in the lake, with sediment types varying from medium- to muddy sand (Fig. 1).
The cores with overlying water (ca. 21) were placed in the dark at 5 °C in thermostatically controlled water baths. After a week's incubation time the temperature
was slowly raised, such that after three weeks eight cores (four sediment types, duplicates) were at 5 °C, eight were at 10
°C, eight at 15 °C and eight at 20 °C. The same procedure was applied to the four control cores, containing lake water. 相似文献

Information on the growth response of a crop plant in relation to temperature can be helpful in selecting genotypes to suit
local environments, scheduling favourable time of planting and forecasting growth and yield. To determine the effects of varying
temperature on root and shoot elongation of eucalypt seedlings, elongation rates of roots and shoots were measured in rhizotrons
for two species (Eucalyptus nitens (Deane and Maiden) Maiden, and Eucalyptus globulus Labill.) at a temperature range of 5–23
°C. Within this range of temperatures, elongation rates of roots and shoots of both species increased with an increase in
temperature. Roots of E. globulus were more sensitive and shoots less sensitive to temperature than those of E. nitens. However,
the threshold temperature corresponding with zero elongation rate predicted from the regression of elongation rate against
temperature was similar for the roots (∼5 °C) and shoots (∼0 °C) of both species. Hysteresis did not appear to have a significant
influence on root or shoot elongation of both species during warming compared with cooling. Results are discussed highlighting
the importance of the interaction between development and growth of plant components. 相似文献

Plant Growth Under High Radiant Energy Fluxes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Radiant energy flux density equivalent to peak midday mid-summersunlight was simulated in an artificially lit controlled environmentchamber. High pressure multivapour discharge lamps togetherwith tungsten iodide lamps, installed to give 5·1 kWm2 of plant growing space, produced a mean photosyntheticallyactiveradiant energy flux density of 385 W m2, 2 m below thethermal barrier, during the course of the experiments. Maize, sorghum, paspalum, ryegrass and soya bean were grownfor 28 days from early seedling development at two temperatures(27·5/22·5 °C, 17·5/12·5 °C,day/night) and three irradiance levels simulating one quarter(LL), one-half (ML) and full (HL) peak mid-summer sunlight over12 h days. Shoot d. wt increased markedly between the LL and ML treatmentsbut only slightly, if at all, between the ML and HL treatments.In comparison with ML treatment plants, those from the HL treatmenthad shorter main stems, more tillers and fewer, thicker mainshoot leaves. Net assimilation rate increased and leaf arearatio decreased with increasing irradiance. As a consequence,relative growth rate did not increase when irradiance exceededthe ML treatment levels. These results suggest that irradiance levels of approximatelyhalf-full daylight values are adequate for most routine controlledenvironment studies where there is little mutual shading betweenor within plants. Major laboratories must, however, providehigh irradiance lighting systems to meet the needs of specialiststudies. Controlled environment, high radiant energy, plant growth, net assimilation rate 相似文献

The oxygen consumption of the protobranch bivalve Nucula turgidawas measured in relation to size and to variation in temperatureand ambient oxygen tension. The slope of the line relating logsize and log oxygen uptake varied from 0.539 to 0.884 over therange 5°C to 40°C in summer conditioned (S)animals but for winter conditioned (W) animals the slopevaried from 0.561 to 0.762 over the range 5°C to 15°Conly; from 20°C to 35°C the values for the slope fellfrom 0.298 to 0.092. There was evidence of reverse acclimation,since the absolute rate of oxygen consumption was greater inS animals than in W over the temperature range studied. Thelethal limit for both groups appeared to be between 30°Cand 35°C. At all temperatures (5°C25°C) N. turgida wasfound to be a near complete oxyconformer with b2 x 103 valuesranging from +0.0754 to 0.0234. The responses to temperature differ little from those of eulamellibranchbivalves, but the lack of ability to oxyregulate does demonstratea difference which may be linked to the different gill structure.

In earlier work the effects of light intensity over the range31 to 250 J cm2 day1 and carbon dioxide concentrationfrom 325 to 900 ppm with 8-h days at 18.3 °C and 16-h nightsat 15.6 °C were described. The present paper is concernedwith three further experiments with light levels up to 375 Jcm2 day1 (which corresponds to the daily totalin a glasshouse in southern England in early May or August andthe intensity is approximately that of mid-winter sunshine),carbon dioxide concentration up to 1500 ppm, and day temperaturesof 18.3 to 29.4 °C. Final plant weight was increased by light over the range 125375J cm2 day1 and by carbon dioxide over the range325900 ppm, with positive interaction between them; thisinteraction was increased by raising the temperature to 23.9°C and somewhat more at 29.4 °C day temperature. Leaf-arearatio and specific leaf area were reduced by increasing eitherlight or carbon dioxide but there was little effect of temperature.Leaf-weight ratios were uniform within experiments but therewere small consistent differences between one experiment andthe other two which also affected leaf-area ratios. Mean unit leaf rate was scarcely affected by day temperatureover the range investigated. There were the usual increasesdue to increased light and carbon dioxide concentration anda consistent difference in absolute value between one experimentand the other two. These differences in mean unit leaf rateare illustrated in detail in the ontogenetic trend of unit leafrate and plant size. Lower unit leaf rates were to a considerableextent compensated for by increased leaf-area ratios in theusual way. Despite the substantial differences in day temperature the specificwater contents (g water g dry weight1) differed little,showing in the majority of cases higher values in the highertemperature for otherwise similar treatment combinations. Flower development was somewhat delayed at 23.9 °C day temperature,and substantially so at 29.4 °C. Lateral branch length wasincreased at 23.9 °C and excessively so at 29.4 °C.This reveals quite clearly that a temperature optimum for vegetativegrowth may not be the optimum for flowering performance norproduce a desirable plant shape. Despite the marked effects of temperature on rate of flowerdevelopment, the relationship between flower development andthe ratio of flower to total weight was the same for all treatmentcombinations in all three experiments and coincident with thatreported earlier. Gasometric determinations indicated that respiratory loss bythe whole plant was a smaller proportion of net photosyntheticgain at a temperature of 29.4 °C than at 18.3 °C andwas likewise a smaller proportion at 1500 ppm carbon dioxidethan at 325 ppm. If photorespiration of leaves is assumed tobe as great as their dark respiration, the respiratory lossesare in the range of 3150 per cent of the gross gain.Greater rates of photorespiration would increase the proportionaterespiratory loss. 相似文献

Growth analysis of plants raised under controlled environments(105, 12, 15, 18 and 20 °C, and 21 h photoperiod)was used to examine whether varietal differences in the minimumgermination temperature of four bean cultivars persist duringgrowth at suboptimal temperatures. A method to estimate theminimum vegetative growth temperature, based on axis relativegrowth rate, was developed. In order to compensate for ontogeneticdrift, the harvests were conducted at the same stage of developmentof the plants. Axis relative growth rates, reduction rates ofthe cotyledons and other growth parameters were calculated inorder to compare the cultivars. Cultivar Marschallshowed better growth potential at 12 °C than the others,Pergousa at 15 °C, and Marschall,Olsok and Pergousa at 18 and 20°C. The effect of temperature on axis RGR was similar forMarschall, Olsok and Pergousa(Q10 = 2·1) and more pronounced than for Processor(Q10 = 1·3). Although there were significant differencesin the growth parameters among the cultivars within each temperatureused, the differences did not correspond with the differencesduring germination at low temperatures. The minimum vegetativegrowth temperature was close to 10 °C for all the cultivarstested.

A phosphate solubilizing and antagonistic bacterial strain, isolated from a Western Ghat forest soil in Kerala province, India
(designated as NII-0906), showed cold tolerance and grew from 10 to 37°C (optimum temperature 30°C). It was a Gram-positive,
rod shaped, 0.8–1.6 μm in size, and exhibited tolerance to a wide pH range (5–12; optimum 7.0) and salt concentration up to
7% (w/v). The isolate showed maximum similarity with Exiguobacterium marinum TF-80T based on 16S rRNA analysis. It solubilized tricalcium phosphate under in vitro conditions. The phosphate solubilization was
estimated along a temperature range (5–40°C), and maximum activity (84.7 μg mL−1 day−1) was recorded at 30°C after 10 days of incubation. The phosphate solubilizing activity coincided with a concomitant decrease
in pH of the medium. The isolate also exhibited antifungal activity against phytopathogenic fungi in Petri dish assays and
produced siderophore and hydrogen cyanide. The strain’s plant growth promotion properties were demonstrated through a cowpea-based
bioassay under greenhouse conditions. The bacterial inoculation resulted in significant increment in plant root, stem and
as well as in plant biomass. Further, scanning electron microscopic study revealed the root colonization in cowpea. These
results could offer potential perspective for the strain to be used as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, which could be
used as an inoculant for regional crops. 相似文献

Eggs of two small Australian lizards, Lampropholis guichenoti and Bassiana duperreyi, were incubated to hatching at 25 °C and 30 °C. Incubation periods were significantly longer at 25 °C in both species, and
temperature had a greater effect on the incubation period of B. duperreyi (41.0 days at 25 °C; 23.1 days at 30 °C) than L. guichenoti (40.1 days at 25 °C; 27.7 days at 30 °C). Patterns of oxygen consumption were similar in both species at both temperatures,
being sigmoidal in shape with a fall in the rate of oxygen consumption just prior to hatching. The higher incubation temperature
resulted in higher peak and higher pre-hatch rates of oxygen consumption in both species. Total amount of oxygen consumed
during incubation was independent of temperature in B. duperreyi, in which approximately 50 ml oxygen was consumed at both temperatures, but eggs of L. guichenoti incubated at 30 °C consumed significantly more (32.6 ml) than eggs incubated at 25 °C (28.5 ml). Hatchling mass was unaffected
by either incubation temperature or the amount of water absorbed by eggs during incubation in both species. The energetic
production cost of hatchling B. duperreyi (3.52 kJ · g−1) was independent of incubation temperature, whereas in L. guichenoti the production cost was greater at 30 °C (4.00 kJ · g−1) than at 25 °C (3.47 kJ · g−1). Snout-vent lengths and mass of hatchlings were unaffected by incubation temperature in both species, but hatchling B. duperreyi incubated at 30 °C had longer tails (29.3 mm) than those from eggs incubated at 25 °C (26.2 mm). These results indicate that
incubation temperature can affect the quality of hatchling lizards in terms of embryonic energy consumption and hatchling
morphology.

Root temperature greatly affected plant growth whether or notplants depended on symbiotic nitrogen fixation. The two plantselections responded differently to the three strains of Rhizobiumand this response was differentially affected by root temperature. Plant yield was significantly decreased by each fall of 4 °Cin temperature from 19 to 7 °C by amounts that dependedboth on the host and Rhizobium strain. Symbiosis with strainTA1, originally isolated from a cold environment, was most tolerantof a root temperature of 11 °C; TA1 produced as much ormore plant material of the abundantly nodulating host in 40days growth at 7 and 11 °C as did the uninoculated plantsgiven KNO3. Root temperature affected the number, rate of formation, anddistribution of nodules on the root system. At 7 °C fewernodules formed than between 11 and 19 °C. At 7 °C nodulesdid not form on secondary roots by 40 days but at 11 °Cthe secondary roots nodulated rapidly between 30 and 40 days.Nodule formation at 19 °C was almost completed at 20 days,when secondary root nodules accounted for 60 per cent of thetotal. Within the range 15 to 19 °C, at which the originalselections for sparse and abundant nodulation were made, plantsnodulated true to selection, but not at 11 °C. At 7 and11 °C plants nodulated with TA1 yielded more with increasingnumber of nodules. 相似文献

The interacting effects within growth cabinets of the natureof the light source and the temperature of the ambient air on14 parameters of vegetative growth have been examined for Gotsypiumhirsutum, Helianthus annuus, Phaseolus vulgaris, and Zea mays.The comparisons were between fluorescent lighting and mixtureswith tungsten lamps (17 and 26 per cent of the total wattage),adjusted to give 32 400 lx and covering six equally spaced andconstant air temperatures from 10 to 35 °C. The relationships are highly complex. Species differ in theirresponses to the three light sources. Moreover, for some parameters,but only for some species, there are highly significant interactionsbetween the nature of the light source and the temperature level.Part of this complexity is due to the varying growth potentialof species at low and high temperatures but important contributingfactors are the differences between the temperatures of theambient air and the plant parts. Such disparities may be positiveor negative and are greater for leaf as against root temperature.The divergencies are larger during the day and largest for leaftemperature. With the higher proportion of tungsten lamps theleaf day temperature ranges from 7.1 °C above an ambienttemperature of 10 °C to 2.5 °C above 35 °C ambient.For fluorescent lighting the leaves are 2.8 °C above ambientat 10 °C and 2.5 °C below at 35 °C. When variations in the response are examined against the meaninternal day temperature of the plant, for some parameters,but not others, differences between light sources are no longerevident. Here again the reactions of species differ. It is concluded firstly that if only ambient air temperaturesare recorded errors will arise in the interpretation of theinduced biological responses, and secondly that departures fromthe ambient air temperatures will be dependent on the designof the cabinet and the lighting system. 相似文献

The effects of temperature on population characteristics of Artemia parthenogenetica Gahai from the Gahai Salt Lake, Qinghai Province, China, were studied in the laboratory at a salinity of 60‰. The major conclusions
are as follows: (1) It was found that the adaptive temperature for the development of brine shrimp ranged from 10°C to 39°C.
The threshold temperature of development (TD) and the effective accumulative temperature (TA) for hatching were 9.94°C·d and
(22.91±2.08)°C·d, respectively. The TD and TA for the larva were 10.33°C·d and (261.26±24.1)°C·d, respectively, and for the
whole generation were 10.28°C and (458.68±57.60)°C·d, respectively. (2) It showed that the population’s net reproduction rate
(Ro), the intrinsic rate of natural increase (rm), the mean generation time (T), the finite rate of increase (λ), and the days for population to double (t) of the brine shrimp
were determined over temperatures ranging from 19°C to 34°C by analyzing the life table and numerical model. In the temperature
range of 14.3°C to 37.3°C for Ro>1, the optimum temperature (°C) for Ro, rm, λ, and t were 25.8°C, 29.8°C, 30.5°C, and 29.02°C, respectively. The maximum values of Ro, rm and λ were 54.86 ind., 0.106138/d, and 1.1070/d, respectively. The minimum value of t was 4.73 d. The value of T was in a
range of 96.77 to 16.10 d. (3) Based on the 1993–1994 and 1997 data of the water temperature in the Gahai Salt Lake, Qinghai
Province, it was estimated that the number of generation of A. parthenogenetica Gahai and the number of the reproductive peak value were 2.67±0.34 and 4.69±0.43 in a year, respectively. The peak of nauplii of
the first generation was on April 20 to 28. The last whole generation began on August 10. The first reproductive peak was
on June 18 to 25. The last reproductive peak was on September 12 to 17. The nauplii that hatched after September 1 cannot
complete the development from nauplii to adults because of insufficient habitat effective accumulative temperature. During
the period from July 11 to September 20, there was a relatively high productivity of the population. In this case, doubling
the population would take less than 30 d, and the intrinsic rate of natural increase was over 0.02/d. Therefore, the value
of resource exploitation would be maximal during that period annually. 相似文献
