Variation in Oidium neolycopersici development on host and non-host plant species and their tissue defence responses

Detailed studies of the infection processes of Oidium neolycopersici (tomato powdery mildew) and plant tissue responses were carried out on 10 Lycopersicon spp. accessions and one of each species of Cucumis sativus, Datura stramonium, Lactuca sativa, Petunia hybrida and Pisum sativum with different levels of resistance. Germination of O. neolycopersici conidia was not inhibited by the host plant. However, in the early stages of O. neolycopersici infection significant differences in conidial germ tube development on resistant and susceptible plant lines were observed. The first substantial differences appeared after 24 h post inoculation (hpi). Mycelia and conidiophores developed on susceptible lines; however, there was no mycelial development on resistant plant lines. The most frequent resistant response in Lycopersicon species was the necrotic (hypersensitive) reaction (HR), occasionally followed by pathogen development. The completely resistant accession L. hirsutum (LA 1347) showed only a limited number of necrotic host cells per infection site (2%). In Oidium resistant tomato lines OR 4061 and OR 960008 the existence of adult resistance was detected. This phenomenon occurred mainly in accession OR 4061. Rapid development and profuse sporulation of O. neolycopersici was observed on juvenile plants (6–8 wk old), however this was in contrast to the slow development and sporadic sporulation observed on 4 month old plants. Evidence of posthaustorial resistance was observed in the interaction of O. neolycopersici with non-host species (Lactuca sativa and Pisum sativum.) This was in contrast to Datura stramonium and Petunia hybrida, where development of powdery mildew was delayed at a later stage in the infection cycle. With the exception of Pisum sativum, the necrotic (hypersensitive) response was observed often.     

光照、温度和盐分对梭梭种子萌发的影响

梭梭是我国西北荒漠中分布的多年生植物,属中亚荒漠植被成分。其种子萌发的最适温度为10℃,亚适宜温度为15～20℃。从20℃起,温度越高,萌发比率越低。种子无论在光下和暗中都能萌发,萌发率无显著性差异。浓度低于0.2mol/L的NaCl溶液对萌发的影响不大;但从0.8mol/L起,萌发率随着浓度增高而降低,直至为零。将在盐溶液中处理9d的种子转移至蒸馏水后,原来较高浓度下的种子具有较高的萌发恢复率。不同浓度下的种子的萌发率和萌发恢复率要比蒸馏水中的低,表明NaCl处理后的部分种子永久地失去萌发力。     

光照、温度和盐分对长叶红沙种子萌发的影响

无论在光下和暗中长叶红沙种子都能萌发,萌发率无显著差异;种子萌发的适宜温度为20~25℃。温度高于25℃时,温度越高,萌发率越低;浓度低于100mmol·L-1的NaCl对种子萌发的影响不大,但高于150mmol·L-1时,NaCl下的萌发率随着NaCl浓度的增高而下降,直至0;NaCl溶液处理9d的未萌发种子转移至蒸馏水中后,经高浓度NaCl胁迫(小于500mmol·L-1)处理的种子萌发恢复率较高。     

西南獐芽菜种子萌发对温度、光照和外源生长调节物质的响应

研究不同温度、光照和外源生长调节物质处理种子对西南獐芽菜种子萌发特性的结果表明,西南獐芽菜种子为休眠型种子,其最适合萌发温度为20℃。光照促进种子的萌发,但影响并不显著。低浓度（10mg·L-1）6-BA促进西南獐芽菜种子萌发,而高浓度（50mg·L-1）的则抑制其萌发,不同浓度和浸种时间的赤霉素（GA）和IAA均促进种子萌发,GA的效果更好。     

光照、温度和土壤水分对孜然芹种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响

连续光照和连续黑暗条件下,孜然芹种子萌发最适宜温度为25℃;16h光照18h黑暗的条件下,萌发最适温度为20℃和25/16℃的日夜变温。种子萌发最适宜土壤含水量为15％。     

光照和温度对大百合种子萌发的影响

研究了不同光照和温度条件对大百合种子萌发的影响。结果表明:光照对大百合种子的萌发有明显促进作用,可提高种子萌发率。种子萌发率以24 h光照20℃恒温最佳。避光条件下温度对大百合种子萌发有影响,其种子萌发最适温度为20℃,11 d开始萌动,3周左右萌发完全,随着温度的升高或降低其种子萌发率下降。萌发前经不同预处理的大百合种子的萌发率不同。同一果实内中部种子萌发最好,上部种子次之,下部种子最差,上、中、下三部分种子萌发率与其千粒重呈正相关。     

Influence of Temperature,pH and Selected Growth Media on Germination,Growth and Sporulation of Aschersonia placenta and Hypocrella raciborskii

Tween 70 at 0.1% provided the best conditions for germination of Aschersonia placenta. Optimum germination and growth of the germ tube occurred over a temperature range of 25–30°C and a pH range of 5.0–6.0. A temperature of 30°C resulted in the longest germ tube at 45 μm. Apparently, temperature and pH did not affect the type of germination, with polar germination being consistently recorded for in excess of 60% of conidia. In general, growth and sporulation seemed to be much better in semi‐solid than in liquid media. Amongst several plant media tested, pumpkin consistently gave the most mycelial growth and sporulation. The ability of A. placenta to sporulate on the surface of liquid culture has increased the possibilty of its mass production for the purpose of formulating a microbial pesticide against the indigenous scale insects of tropical fruits such as durian and guava in Malaysia.     

Influence of Seiche-Generated Light Field Fluctuations on Phytoplankton Growth

Phytoplankton, owing to the periodic ascent and descent caused by internal seiches, is exposed to experiential fluctuations in light intensity. The increase in light intensity associated with its ascent towards the surface is greater than the decrease caused by its descent. A simple mathematical model is used to derive relationships showing that 1) the mean light intensity in an epilimnion influenced by internal waves is not more than 6.1% lower than in a stationary system and 2) in the meta- and hypolimnion of lakes of low transparency (i.e. with a high extinction coefficient) internal seiches of large amplitude increase the mean light intensity by several orders of magnitude. This can produce a many-fold increase in the depth of the euphotic zone. The mean rates of photosynthesis of phytoplankton in the meta- and hypolimnion increase particularly at the antinodes of the waves. Internal seiches evidently may play an important role in causing plankton patchiness and in the presence of photosynthetically active phytoplankton at depths far below the 1% light limit.     

胡杨种子萌发对温光条件和盐旱胁迫的响应特征

以胡杨(Populus euphratica)种子为材料,分别设置光照(连续光照、12h光照/12h黑暗、连续黑暗)温度(10/15℃、15/20℃、20/25℃、25/30℃、30/35℃和35/40℃)试验、PEG6000渗透胁迫(0、-0.1、-0.2、-0.4、-0.6、-0.8、-1.0、-1.2、-1.4和-1.6MPa)试验和NaCl胁迫(0、0.05、0.10、0.20、0.30、0.40、0.60和0.80mol/L)试验,考察室内种子萌发对温度、光照和盐旱胁迫的敏感性,揭示胡杨种子萌发阶段对生境资源的适应策略。结果显示:(1)胡杨种子在温度(10℃/15℃~35℃/40℃)与连续光照、连续黑暗和12h光照/12h黑暗组合处理条件下均能萌发,且最终种子萌发率均能达到77%以上;3种光照条件下,种子萌发的最适温度范围均为25℃/30℃~30℃/35℃,在该温度范围种子萌发表现出快速、集中的特点,且3种光照条件对种子萌发的影响无显著差异。(2)胡杨种子可以在-1.4~0 MPa渗透势溶液中萌发,而在-1.0~0 MPa间最终萌发率均达到90%以上,且相互之间无显著差异;但当渗透势低于-0.4 MPa时胡杨种子萌发进程和萌发速率受到显著影响,当溶液渗透势低于-1.2 MPa时种子萌发受到显著抑制。(3)胡杨种子可以在0~0.80mol/L NaCl溶液中萌发,而最终萌发率、萌发速率均随着NaCl溶液浓度的增高逐渐降低,但在0~0.20mol/L范围内无显著差异;当NaCl溶液浓度大于0.20mol/L时,种子最终萌发率、种子萌发进程和萌发速率均受到显著抑制,萌发高峰期逐渐向后推移。研究结果表明,胡杨种子萌发时温度比较宽泛,对光照无严格要求,适宜温度下萌发快速集中,且萌发时对盐旱胁迫具有一定程度的忍耐性。这些特性有助于胡杨种子充分利用有限的水分条件而快速完成萌发,是胡杨种子萌发对干旱荒漠地区干旱少雨环境的一种生态适应策略。     

光照和温度对望天树种子萌发的影响

在实验室内人工气候箱控制的条件下,研究了我国重要珍稀濒危植物望天树（Shorea wantianshuea,龙脑香科（Dipterocarpaceae））种子萌发对持续光照、14小时光照／10小时黑暗周期性光照的反应;同时研究了望天树种子的萌发对不同温度的反应和低温贮藏对种子活力的影响。结果表明,不论是持续光照还是周期性光照都不能提高望天树种子的萌发率,相反,持续光照和周期性光照都不同程度降低了种子萌发率。光照能通过加速或延迟种子萌发的进程、或改变幼苗活力指数和萌发指数而影响种子萌发的质量;持续光照延迟种子萌发的进程,而周期性光照加快种子萌发的进程。30℃是种子的最适萌发温度,虽然15℃和5℃的相对低温对幼苗活力指数影响不大,但大大延迟了种子萌发进程,并提高萌发率。望天树种子不能耐受5℃低温贮藏,但具有在15℃下短期贮藏的潜力和一定程度的生理性休眠。

Light dependency of life trails,reproduction, locomotion,and predation in the polyphagous ladybird Hippodamia variegata

Light is regarded a key environmental cue influencing biological, physiological, and behavioral characteristics in insects. We compared the development, reproduction, locomotion, and predation ability of the predatory ladybird Hippodamia variegata (Goeze) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) under various photoperiods, light intensities, and light wavelengths. The results indicated long daylight, high light intensity, and particular colors light (blue, green, and yellow) could benefit H. variegata especially in shortening the period of immature development, increasing mating frequency (shorter mating and pre‐oviposition periods), higher fecundity, and a higher proportion of eggs hatched. Average locomotion speed and prey consumption rate of H. variegata increased with prolonged day length and increased light intensity. However, very high intensity of light could inhibit predation rates. Furthermore, green and yellow wavelength conditions increased locomotion speed of H. variegata, and the number of prey consumed increased with increased wavelength. The present study not only revealed significant influences of light conditions on the development and fertility of H. variegata, it also provided sufficient empirical data to improve the efficiency of mass rearing and field releases of this predatory ladybird by regulation of light conditions during biological control applications.

采用发光二极管调制光谱能量分布,以荧光灯为对照,研究不同光质(红光、蓝光、黄光、绿光)下番茄幼苗生理特性及内源性GA和IAA水平与其生长的关系。结果表明:(1)红光和蓝光有利于番茄幼苗茎的伸长和叶面积的增加。(2)除蓝光处理下可溶性糖含量和SOD活性与对照无显著性差异外,各单色光质处理下番茄幼苗根系活力、色素含量、可溶性蛋白和可溶性糖含量、SOD活性较对照均显著降低。(3)与对照相比,各单色光质处理下番茄幼苗叶片中GA含量显著降低,IAA含量在红光下显著升高,在黄光和绿光下显著降低,且叶面积与IAA含量呈显著正相关关系。(4)番茄幼苗茎中GA和IAA含量在红光和蓝光处理下显著高于对照和黄、绿光处理,且株高与茎中GA和IAA含量呈正相关关系。     

光质、光强对入侵植物紫茎泽兰种子萌发及幼苗状态的影响

为了探讨紫茎泽兰种子需光萌发特性,对光质（不同颜色、红光/远红光）和光强对种子萌发率及幼苗状态进行了研究。研究发现：不同颜色光对发芽率影响显著,其中黄光、橙光和红光等波长在（591~750 nm）之间的光更有利于提高种子的萌发率（74.3%~83.3%）,而较短波长的光（<570 nm,紫光、蓝光和绿光）促进效果显著降低（62.3%~66.7%）（p<0.05）。光强对紫茎泽兰种子发芽和幼苗影响较光的颜色更具有规律性。黑暗条件下发芽率22%,随着光照提高,发芽率指数增加(r²=0.96),芽长指数下降(r²=0.99)、根长指数增加(r²=0.98),而鲜重呈现线性增加(r²=0.70)。适量红光（630 nm）和远红光（730 nm）照射能够打破和引起休眠,红光照射量与发芽率提高量成线性正相关（r²=0.98）,而远红光照射率与发芽率降低量呈线性正相关（r²=0.92）,说明紫茎泽兰需光萌发是一个光敏色素引起的过程。紫茎泽兰通常在裸地和人为干扰土壤上泛滥,这可能与其种子需光萌发有关。而对其生态学控制可以考虑从光强、特别是光质角度（如人工造林）控制种子萌发来实现。
