Position in and contribution of leaf laminae to the canopy of forage grasses are important both in determining herbage growth rates and intake rate by grazing animals. These canopy characteristics are controlled by the way dry matter is apportioned between sheath and lamina in growing leaves. The objective of this work was to determine how the development of individual leaves is affected by altering the effective length of the psuedostem tube, on the assumption that the light environment within the tube varied. The development of a leaf from initiation at the apex to maturity was followed by successive destructive dissections of tillers. Vertical incisions were made in the pseudostem of each tiller to three different depths. The three treatments imposed were — no incision (control), moderate and severe incision of the sheath length. Destructive harvests of tillers followed 3, 6, 12 and 24 days after imposition of treatments. Incision resulted in the length of the monitored leaf being reduced significantly at all harvests, and differentiation of the sheath beginning earlier. The length reduction reflected a reduction in both cell size and cell number and the effects were evident at the earliest harvest. The data support the theory that leaf size and timing of onset of sheath development are influenced by the environment of the developing leaf. The present results indicate that sheath tube length affects leaf development and suggests that the effects are substantially explained by a direct light effect on the location and depth of the elongation zone. 相似文献

The osmotic role of nitrate during aftermath growth of Lolium perenne L. cv. Réveille was investigated. Plants were grown from seed in a controlled environment using a liquid medium with 1.0 m M NH4 NO3 as nitrogen source.
Eight-week-old plants were cut 4.0 cm above the root system and then harvested over a 14-day period of regrowth on the same initial nutrient solution, except that nitrate was15 N labelled. Throughout the experimental period, nitrate storage and reduction in roots were low. In stubble and especially in leaves, nitrate accumulated during the first 6 days of regrowth whereas nitrate reduction mainly occurred after this period. Analyses of carbohydrate, chloride and potassium contents in stubble and leaves showed that the accumulation of nitrate osmotically compensated for the decrease in soluble sugars during the first 6 days of regrowth.
The cumulative osmotic potential of sugars, chloride and nitrate in differently treated plants was studied in stubble and leaves. Compared with uncut plants, the lower carbohydrate concentrations found in cut plants regrowing on 1.0 m M NH4 NO3 were compensated for by an accumulation of nitrate. During aftermath growth on low nitrogen nutrition (0.2 m M NH4 NO3 ), chloride replaced nitrate, supporting the proposed osmotic function of nitrate.
It is concluded that nitrate is involved in the osmotic adjustment of ryegrass during regrowth after cutting. 相似文献

The activities of key enzymes involved in N assimilation were investigated after defoliation of 6-week-old ryegrass plants grown in water culture conditions. In a first experiment, nitrate reductase, glutamine synthetase and glutamate dehydrogenase activities were measured in roots, stubble and leaves on the day of cutting and at 7-day intervals over the following 5-week period of regrowth. Ammonia assimilation enzymes showed little change whereas the nitrate reductase activity sharply decreased 2 weeks after clipping. In a second experiment, the nitrate reductase activity was measured at 2- or 3-day intervals 1 week before and 3 weeks after clipping.In vivo andin vitro assays both showed an increasing activity in leaves up to 8 days after cutting while root activity decreased. The opposite changes then occurred and both organs recovered their initial nitrate reductase activity levels after 12–14 days of regrowth. These fluctuations in nitrate reductase activity were considered to be related to the capacity for C assimilation and the nitrate availability. 相似文献

The effect of an elevated partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) on carbohydrate concentrations in source leaves and pseudo-stems (stubble) of Lolium perenne L. (perennial ryegrass) during regrowth was studied in a regularly defoliated grass sward in the field. The free air carbon dioxide enrichment (FACE) technology enabled natural environmental conditions to be provided. Two levels of nitrogen (N) supply were used to modulate potential plant growth. Carbohydrate concentrations in source leaves were increased at elevated pCO2, particularly at low N supply. Elevated leaf carbohydrate concentrations were related to an increased structural carbon (C) to N ratio and thus reflected an increased C availability together with a N-dependent sink limitation. Immediately after defoliation, apparent assimilate export rates (differences in the carbohydrate concentrations of young source leaves measured in the evening and on the following morning) showed a greater increase at elevated pCO2 than at ambient pCO2; however, replenishment of carbohydrate reserves was not accelerated. Distinct, treatment-dependent carbohydrate concentrations in pseudo-stems suggested an increasing degree of C-sink limitation from the treatment at ambient pCO2 with high N supply to that at elevated pCO2 with low N supply. During two growing seasons, no evidence of a substantial change in the response of the carbohydrate source in L. perenne to elevated pCO2 was found. Our results support the view that the response of L. perenne to elevated pCO2 is restricted by a C-sink limitation, which is particularly severe at low N supply. 相似文献

Effects of Nitrogen fertilisation and regrowth period on fatty acid concentrations in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Information on lipids in forages is scarce, and effects of nitrogen (N) application level and regrowth period on the fatty acid (FA) concentration and composition of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) were studied. N was applied at 0, 45 and 100 kg ha?1, and swards were cut after various regrowth periods, resulting in six treatments designed as randomised blocks with three replicates. The stages of development ranged from vegetative to elongating swards, with herbage yield levels from 1.9 to 4.2 t dry matter (DM) ha?1. Concentrations of individual FA were determined by gas chromatography, and canopy characteristics and herbage quality were assessed. The treatments resulted in canopies with contrasting DM yields and protein concentrations. Five FAs, representing 98% of total FAs, were studied in detail. On an average, the concentration of these major FAs in fresh grass was 15.1 g kg?1 DM, and 69% of the major FAs consisted of C18:3. Regrowth period affected (P < 0.05) the total FA concentration, and significantly (P < 0.01) lower concentrations of C18:3 and C16:1 were found after a longer period of regrowth. N application resulted in higher (P < 0.001) concentrations of all FAs. The FA composition was not affected by N application, but a longer regrowth period significantly (P < 0.001) decreased the proportion of C18:3 and increased those of C18:2 and C16:0. A strong, positive overall linear relation was found between the concentrations of total FAs and C18:3 with the crude protein concentration in the herbage. These studies demonstrate opportunities to affect the FA concentration and composition of FA in herbage through management strategies, which could affect milk FA composition. 相似文献

The paper presents the results of amino acid analyses in xylem sap during leaf regrowth of ryegrass plants defoliated firstly
at the 8th and secondly at the 12th week of culture. The free amino acid composition of leaves, stubble and roots was also
determined and some of the results are reported. Prior to defoliation, xylem sap contained a high proportion of amides, particularly
glutamine. During regrowth after defoliation, the proportion of asparagine in the xylem sap increased until the third day
when the highest ratios of asparagine/glutamine appeared. The results are compared with relative amounts of free amino acids
in the different plant parts and discussed in relation to source-sink nitrogen transfer. 相似文献

Clonal tillers of a genotype of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), either with or without the endophytic fungus Acremonium lolii, were grown under natural light in flowing nutrient solutions with mineral N maintained automatically at concentrations of 3 or 30μm NH4NO3 for 28 days. Uptake of N was monitored daily and dry matter production was assessed by sequential harvesting. The presence of endophyte had no significant effect on shoot or root biomass production at either N level, but shoot: root ratios were significantly increased by endophyte infection at both N levels at some harvests. All plants absorbed NH4+ preferentially to NO3- and the ratio was not affected by endophyte infection. Also, infection did not affect total N content of plants, which was significantly more in plants at the higher N level than at the lower level. It is concluded that endophyte infection had only minor effects on growth and N economy of the plant, under the conditions imposed in this experiment. 相似文献

干旱胁迫下内生真菌感染对黑麦草叶内几种同工酶的影响 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
以内生真菌感染(endophyte-infected,EI)与不感染(endophyte-free,EF)的黑麦草(Lolium perenne L.)种子建立实验种群,分别对其施加长时间不同强度的干旱胁迫,通过比较黑麦草体内过氧化物酶(POD)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、多酚氧化酶(PPO)活性及其同工酶谱的变化以探讨保护酶系统在内生真菌——植物共生体的抗旱性方面所作的贡献。研究结果表明,水分胁迫和内生真菌对黑麦草3种酶的影响不仅表现在总量上而且表现在同工酶的酶谱及各区带的酶活力上。就总酶活力而言,EI和EF植株中POD、SOD和PPO的活性均随着干旱胁迫强度的增加而增加,进一步将EI和EF植株的酶活力进行比较,发现与EF植株相比,EI植株中POD和PPO的活性相对较低,而SOD的活性相对较高。从同工酶的谱带数量和强弱来看,POD同工酶各区带活力均随干旱胁迫强度的增加而增加,EI植株叶片增加的幅度高于EF叶片,而且EI叶片在重度胁迫下出现了1条新带SOD同工酶各区带活力在EI叶片中有随干旱胁迫增加而增加的趋势,而在EF叶片中有些区带酶活力增强,有些区带酶活力减弱,且EI叶片在中度胁迫下出现了1条新带;PPO同工酶随干旱胁迫的增强,EI和EF叶片均表现为有些区带酶活力增强,有些区带酶活力减弱。总之,内生真菌的感染虽然没有显著提高宿主植物黑麦草POD、SOD和PPO的活性,但使宿主黑麦草对干旱胁迫的反应更为迅速,其中既包括POD、SOD等酶活力的迅速升高,也包括新酶带的产生。 相似文献

Individual leaves of perennial ryegrass cv. Aberystwyth S23 of two leaf ages and at two levels of nitrogen fertilisation were point inoculated with Puccinia coronata f.sp. coronata in a growth chamber. In general, there was no significant difference in the lifespan of inoculated versus control leaves. However, the higher rate of nitrogen extended leaf lifespan more markedly in rusted than in control leaves. Uredospore production varied according to leaf age: colonies on juvenile leaves produced three times as many spores as those on mature leaves. 相似文献

Background and Aims: Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) is one of the key forageand amenity grasses throughout the world. In the UK it accountsfor 70 % of all agricultural land use with an estimated farmgate value of £6 billion per annum. However, in termsof the genetic resources available, L. perenne has lagged behindother major crops in Poaceae. The aim of this project was thereforethe construction of a microsatellite-enriched genomic libraryfor L. perenne to increase the number of genetic markers availablefor both marker-assisted selection in breeding programmes andgene isolation. Methods: Primers for 229 non-redundant microsatellite markers were designedand used to screen two L. perenne genotypes, one amenity andone forage. Of the 229 microsatellites, 95 were found to showpolymorphism between amenity and forage genotypes. A selectionof microsatellite primers was selected from these 95 and usedto screen two mapping populations derived from intercrossingand backcrossing the two forage and amenity grass genotypes. Key Results and Conclusions: The utility of the resulting genetic maps for analysis of thegenetic control of target traits was demonstrated by the mappingof genes associated with heading date to linkage groups 4 and7. 相似文献

Partitioning of sugars in Lolium perenne (perennial ryegrass) during drought and on rewatering 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Simulated swards of perennial ryegrass ( Lolium perenne ) growing in 1-m3 soil blocks in the glasshouse were either well watered or deprived of water for 57 d and then rewatered. The first aim was to measure effects of drought on sugar (water-soluble carbohydrate) composition of laminae and sheaths of mature laminae, and bases and laminae of young (growing) leaves. The second aim was to use pulse labelling with 14 CO2 to follow the partitioning of recently-fixed assimilates, and the assembly and consumption of reserve sugars (fructans). Over the last 7 d of drought growth almost stopped, old leaves died faster than they were replaced, and total sugar (which had doubled in concentration during drought) was rapidly consumed. Leaf laminae had lower content of total sugars and of large fructan (DP>5) than did growing bases and sheaths. Drought greatly reduced the rate at which sugar was exported from the laminae to the sheaths and growing leaf bases, and the rate at which it was converted to fructan. Nevertheless, fructan accumulated over the first 50 d of drought. Rewatering did not result in depolymerization and remobilization of sugars that had been formed during the last 7 d of drought, but stimulated their further assembly into high-DP fructans. Our hypothesis, that accumulation of neo-kestose (a DP-3 fructan) in droughted laminae was a symptom of sugar remobilization just before death, was disproved. It is concluded that sugar reserves contribute to drought resistance only under extreme conditions. The specific role of fructan in dry environments might be to improve regrowth when drought is relieved, rather than to enhance growth during drought. 相似文献

The pycnidium of a Stagonospora sp. observed in degenerating leaf sheath and blade tissues of Lolium perenne L. contained concentric bodies similar to those found in the mycobiont of several lichens and a few other free-living ascomycetes. These bodies occurred in vegetative hyphae, hyphae of the pycnidial wall, in conidiogenous cells and in conidia and comprised a central electron-translucent core surrounded by a granular zone and an outer radially orientated fibrillar or lamellar zone. In some cases the entire body was surrounded by a translucent halo. A second feature of the interwoven hyphae of the pycnidial wall was the occurrence of pores connecting adjacent hyphae. These lateral pores appeared identical to pores in septa between cells of individual hyphae, and like them, were associated with Woronin bodies. 相似文献
