施肥对日本落叶松人工林细根直径、根长和比根长的影响

以辽宁东部山区16年生日本落叶松人工林为研究对象,探讨施肥对日本落叶松1～5级根序中细根直径、根长和比根长的影响.结果表明：随着根序等级的增加,日本落叶松细根平均直径和根长显著增加（P<0。05,P<0。01）、比根长则显著下降（P<0。01）.在日本落叶松的5级根序中,1级根的平均直径最细、根长最短、比根长最高,而5级根则相反;随着根序等级的增加,日本落叶松细根平均直径、根长和比根长的变异系数逐渐增大.除1级根外,土层对细根的平均直径、根长和比根长没有显著影响(P>0。05).与对照样地相比,施肥对各级细根平均直径、根长和比根长的影响主要表现在1～2级根上,对3级根序以上的细根影响不显著（P>0.05）.其中,施氮肥显著降低了1～2级根的平均直径（P<0.05）,施氮肥以及氮磷肥显著降低了表层土壤（0～10 cm）中1级根的平均根长（P<0.05）,表层土壤中细根的比根长在施氮肥的条件下显著增加（P<0.05）.     

Order and fluidity of lipid membranes as determined by fluorescence anisotropy decay

The fluorescence anisotropy decay of four different probes in bilayers of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine was measured. The probes are diphenylhexatriene, diphenyloctatetraene, trimethylaminodiphenylhexatriene, and trans-parinaric acid. The data for each probe were analyzed in terms of two orientational order parameters, the ordinary order parameter and a higher one, and two rotational diffusion coefficients. The order parameters are largely independent of probe size, but depend on the position of the probes along the membrane normal, thus reflecting the profile of lipid order. If a probe is located in the plateau region of lipid order, its order parameters are interpreted as representing the rigid-body order of lipids. According to this interpretation, the total lipid order in the plateau region originates about equally from rigid-body order and conformational order. The two order parameters obtained for each probe are used to derive approximate angular distributions of the probe molecules. The diffusion coefficient for rotation about the long molecular axis is found to be infinitely large, indicating unhindered rotation about this axis. The diffusion coefficient for rotation about the short molecular axes is evaluated for a viscosity which results as 0.2 poise. This viscosity for rotational diffusion is an order of magnitude smaller than the viscosity for lateral diffusion indicating that at least two viscosities are required to characterize the fluidity of a lipid membrane.Abbreviations FAD fluorescence anisotropy decay - DMR deuterium magnetic resonance - ESR electron spin resonance - DMPC dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine - DPPC dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine - DPH 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene - DPO 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5,7-octatetraene - TMA-DPH 1-[4-(trimethylamino)phenyl]-6-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene - tPnA trans-parinaric acid - NPN N-phenyl-1-naphthylamine - BBO 2,5-bis(4-biphenylyl)oxazole     

柠条人工林细根不同分枝根序寿命估计

植物细根在发育结构上表现的形态特征和生理功能异质性影响细根寿命的准确估计,因此了解分枝根序细根寿命差异对于深入认识细根的周转过程和陆地生态系统碳分配具有重要意义。采用微根管(Minirhizotron)技术对晋西北黄土区的五年生柠条(Caragana Korshinskii Kom.)人工林细根的生长过程进行了为期3a(2007—2009年)的追踪观测,分析了不同因素(土层深度、季节变化、空间位置)对一级根和高级根寿命的影响。结果表明:(1)在各土层深度处,一级根的中值寿命均低于高级根中值寿命,其中一级根中值寿命表现随土层深度增加而增加趋势,而高级根除表层0—20 cm中值寿命较短外,各土层间变化趋势不明显,40—60 cm、80—100 cm土层高级根在观测期结束时其累积存活率仍在50%以上;(2)不同季节出生一级根和高级根的中值寿命季节性表现为:秋季夏季春季,并且在各个季节均表现,高级根寿命显著大于一级根寿命(P0.01);一级根仅夏季与秋季差异性不显著(P0.05),而高级根仅春季与秋季存在极显著差异(P0.01);(3)一级根和高级根距树干基部0 cm处细根中值寿命均大于50 cm处一级根和高级根细根的中值寿命。同一位置处高级根寿命要大于一级根寿命。在距树干基部0 cm处和50 cm处,一级根和高级根的寿命均存在极显著差异(P0.01),但高级根却在距树干基部0 cm和50 cm处差异不明显,而一级根却表现极显著差异(P0.01)。     

Modulation of the orientational order profile of the lipid acyl chain in the Lα phase

The orientational order profile along the lipid acyl chain has been characterized under several different conditions of polar headgroup composition, temperature, and cholesterol content. Despite the different nature of these factors, the variation of the order is governed by two common trends. First, the relative change of order induced by the variation of these factors is always more pronounced towards the end of the chain than for the methylene groups near the interface. Second, there is, to a first approximation, a distinct correlation between the magnitude of the order parameters and the shape of the order profile. For example when the chain is highly ordered, the relative width of the order distribution is narrow indicating that the plateau region is longer. These conclusions suggest that the orientational order profile depends on only a small number of parameters and demonstrate clearly that the correlation length for changes in orientational order is much greater than one C-C bond length. Our results also show that the reduced temperature is not related in simple terms to orientational order and probably has little theoretical significance. The orientational order profiles of POPC and POPE bilayers are significantly different even when expressed in terms of reduced temperature. The behavior of POPC/cholesterol systems also indicates that the orientational order of the lipid chain and the gel-to-liquid crystalline phase transition temperature are not related in a straightforward manner.Abbreviations POPC 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine - POPE 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine - PC phosphatidylcholine - PE phosphatidylethanolamine - NMR nuclear magnetic resonance - EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid Offprint requests to: M.

连作杨树人工林细根寿命的代际差异及其影响因素

细根寿命是调控森林生产力形成的关键。通过在连作Ⅰ、Ⅱ代杨树人工林固定样地内埋设微根管,对杨树不同根序细根年度生长动态开展连续观测并进行生存分析。结果表明,杨树不同根序细根累积生存率存在显著差异,高级根(3—5级)寿命较长,其累积生存率显著高于1级和2级细根。杨树细根寿命存在显著的代际差异,连作Ⅱ代人工林活根量、死根量和细根总量均高于Ⅰ代林。连作Ⅱ代人工林细根中位值寿命为(90±16)d,显著低于Ⅰ代人工林((102±22)d)。连作Ⅱ代林各根序细根数量、分布比例均高于Ⅰ代林,低级细根累积生存率低于Ⅰ代林而高级细根累积生存率显著高于Ⅰ代林。连作杨树人工林细根寿命显著受制于土壤环境,1级细根寿命与土壤速效氮相关性极显著(r=-0.861),2级细根寿命与土壤物理性状相关性较强且与土壤酚酸含量呈现极显著相关(r=0.870),高级根序细根寿命与土壤物理性质和养分状况等也具有一定相关性。连作杨树人工林土壤酚酸累积和养分有效性下降影响了细根寿命和周转,并进而造成净初级生产力损耗,相关结论为连作杨树人工林生产力衰退机理模型的建立提供了科学依据。

Tests for Order Restrictions in Binary Data

In this article, a general procedure is presented for testing for equality of k independent binary response probabilities against any given ordered alternative. The proposed methodology is based on an estimation procedure developed in Hwang and Peddada (1994, Annals of Statistics 22, 67-93) and can be used for a very broad class of order restrictions. The procedure is illustrated through application to two data sets that correspond to three commonly encountered order restrictions: simple tree order, simple order, and down turn order.

The origin of variation in seed density in celery (Apium graveolens L.)

Seeds were harvested separately from the sequentially formed umbels to obtain information about the origin of variation in seed density in celery. The study involved seeds from the lowest order (primary) to the highest order (quarternary) umbels from the cvs Mars, Monarch, Selfira and Tall Utah. With increasing umbel order the percentage germination decreased and the mean germination time increased. Seed density increased with increasing umbel order, but was more highly correlated with the length of the seed ripening period which differed for each umbel order due to simultaneous harvesting. The decrease in seed density during seed development was correlated with an increase in air volume in the seeds. It is concluded that the variation in seed density in celery seed lots originated from differences in seed maturity.
