淹水深度对互叶白千层幼苗气体交换、叶绿素荧光和生长的影响

实验设置对照、浅淹(水位高出土壤表面5cm)和深淹(水位高出土壤表面20cm)3种处理,研究了淹水深度对互叶白千层幼苗的气体交换、叶绿素荧光和生长状况的影响。研究结果表明,随着淹水深度的增加,互叶白千层受到的胁迫程度有所增强。经过270d的淹水处理,浅淹组和深淹组的株高和生物量有所下降,分别为对照的90.86%、64.58%和74.52%、36.46%。浅淹组植株叶绿素含量、净光合速率、气孔传导率和蒸腾速率略有下降,分别为对照的95.39%、94.26%、90.02%和88.94%。深淹组植株在淹水后180d内上述参数显著下降,分别为对照的79.44%、73.54%、61.79%和71.46%,随后逐渐接近对照组。浅淹组PSⅡ的最大光化学量子效率(Fv/Fm)比较稳定,与对照组基本相同。深淹组在淹水后150d内Fv/Fm稍有下降,随后恢复到对照水平。浅淹组植株光化学淬灭系数(qP)稍有下降,非光化学淬灭(NPQ)略有上升,分别为对照的96.63%和105.66%。深淹组植株在淹水后120d内qP显著下降,NPQ明显上升,分别为对照的94.51%和126.66%,随后逐渐接近对照组。另外,淹水过程中,互叶白千层形成不定根和产生发达的通气组织,淹水植株的根孔隙度显著高于对照。     

淹水胁迫对不结球白菜幼苗光合特性的影响

以不结球白菜(Brassica campestris ssp.chinensis Makino)‘新矮青’为材料,研究了不同淹水处理(根淹、半淹)对其幼苗叶片光合参数、叶绿素含量、荧光参数的影响。结果显示:淹水5 d时,根淹和半淹处理使不结球白菜的净光合速率(P n)、气孔导度(G s)、蒸腾速率(T r)、最大光化学效率(F v/F m)显著下降,分别为对照的43.1%和22.1%(根淹和半淹,下同)、26.4%和14.3%、40.2%和33.2%、87.9%和77.1%;淹水处理使不结球白菜的叶绿素含量、PSⅡ有效光化学量子产量(Yield)、电子传递速率(ETR)也显著下降;根淹和半淹处理使不结球白菜的水分利用效率(WUE)、光化学猝灭系数(q P)呈下降趋势,而胞间CO2浓度(Ci)、非光化学猝灭系数(q N)显著上升,分别为对照的105.3%和115.6%、120.6%和147.4%。这表明淹水胁迫能显著影响不结球白菜的相关光合指标,且随着淹水时间的延长和淹水深度的增加,不结球白菜受到的胁迫损伤不断加重。     

模拟淹水对枫杨和栓皮栎气体交换、叶绿素荧光和水势的影响

研究了人工模拟淹水胁迫对两年生栓皮栎(Quercus variabilis)和枫杨(Pterocarya stenoptera)树苗的影响。经过70 d的淹水处理两种植物的存活率均为100%。淹水对两种植物生理生态过程的早期影响是快速降低了二者的最大净光合速率(P_max)、气孔导度(G_s)、最大光化学量子效率(F_v/F_m)。经过7 d的淹水处理后,受淹栓皮栎的最大净光合速率是对照的39%,枫杨是对照的42%;受淹栓皮栎的气孔导度是对照的38.8%,枫杨是对照的71.9%;水淹5 d后,枫杨和栓皮栎的最大光化学量子效率分别为0.694和0.757。但经过最初的下降后,枫杨的最大净光合速率、气孔导度和最大光化学量子效率逐渐恢复,而栓皮栎的则持续下降。到淹水70 d时栓皮栎的最大净光合速率下降了94.1%,最大光化学量子效率的平均值为0.537。在试验过程中,枫杨产生了有利于吸收氧气的不定根和肥大的皮孔,而栓皮栎没有产生不定根。随淹水时间的增加枫杨的叶绿素含量与对照没有显著差异;而栓皮栎的叶绿素含量在第33 d后大幅降低,Chla/Chlb的比值下降。淹水后第10 d和第70 d测定的清晨水势,受淹栓皮栎比对照高,而受淹枫杨比对照低,因此淹水导致的叶片水势的变化可能与树种相关。以上的试验结果表明受淹的栓皮栎的光合机构运转受到了严重影响,因此栓皮栎应属于对淹水较敏感的树种。从两种植物受淹水胁迫的形态和生理变化看,枫杨比栓皮栎更耐淹,更适合库塘消落区生境。     

珙桐苗木叶片光合特性对土壤干旱胁迫的响应

通过控制土壤含水量,研究了土壤干旱胁迫对2年生珙桐(Davidia involucrata Baill.)幼苗叶面积、叶绿素含量、光合作用及叶绿素荧光参数的影响,以探讨珙桐光合作用对土壤干旱胁迫的响应机理.结果表明,干旱胁迫后,珙桐叶片失水脱落,各干旱胁迫处理叶面积比对照显著降低23%～98%,但单位面积的叶绿素含量却无显著变化;干旱处理的珙桐幼苗净光合速率(Pn)、气孔导度(Gs)、蒸腾速率(Tr)、水分利用效率(WUE)显著低于对照(P<0.05);干旱胁迫对珙桐幼苗叶片的初始荧光产量(F0)及最大荧光产量(Fm)没有产生显著影响,却显著降低了PSⅡ最大光化学量子产量(Fv/Fm)、PSⅡ实际光化学量子产量(Yield)、电子传递速率(ETR)及光化学淬灭系数(qP),使非光化学淬灭系数(qN)显著升高(P<0.05).研究发现,土壤水分亏缺对珙桐叶片的光合系统造成了不可逆的伤害,严重抑制了其正常的光合作用和生长发育;珙桐幼苗对土壤干旱胁迫极为敏感.     

不同水分胁迫对绵毛水苏幼苗形态和生理特性的影响

以绵毛水苏幼苗为试材,以正常供水为对照,研究不同水分胁迫(淹水、渍水、中度干旱、重度干旱)对绵毛水苏形态和生理指标的影响。结果表明:(1)绵毛水苏植株在淹水处理3d后外围叶片坏死,根系死亡,但茎基部有不定根萌生;渍水处理植株地上部始终无明显变化,但部分根系根尖变褐色;干旱处理7d时叶片萎蔫,且重度干旱处理叶片萎蔫程度大于中度干旱。胁迫解除后,除淹水处理在第13天恢复生长外,其余处理均在第2天恢复正常生长。(2)绵毛水苏叶片含水量和根系活力在淹水处理下显著降低,在渍水处理下无明显变化;在干旱胁迫下,叶片含水量迅速下降,而根系活力升高。(3)在各水分胁迫条件下,绵毛水苏植株叶、根的相对电导率和MDA含量均较对照显著升高,且根部受损程度均重于叶片,其中淹水胁迫受损最严重。(4)淹水处理叶片可溶性蛋白含量下降,可溶性糖、游离脯氨酸持续积累;渍水和干旱处理叶和根的可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白和游离脯氨酸均升高。研究认为,绵毛水苏具有较强的渗透调节能力,在渍水和干旱胁迫解除后迅速缓解膜质过氧化伤害,恢复正常生长;绵毛水苏虽不能在长时间淹水条件下生长,但可在渍水条件下正常生长,且能忍受干旱胁迫,可应用于滨水消落带等水分变化较大的区域。     

淹水对牡丹生理特性的影响

为探究牡丹对淹水的响应,以牡丹品种"乌龙捧盛"为试材,研究了人工模拟4个不同程度淹水处理对牡丹植株的形态、光合特性、抗氧化酶和渗透调节物质的影响。结果表明:轻度淹水处理对牡丹植株形态没有明显的影响,深度淹水处理组较早出现萎蔫,后期植株受到严重伤害。随淹水时间的延长,轻度淹水处理的叶绿素含量变化不明显,而深度淹水处理的叶绿素a和叶绿素(a+b)含量逐渐降低;不同处理牡丹叶片的净光合速率(Pn)、蒸腾速率(Tr)和气孔导度(Gs)持续下降,胞间CO2浓度(Ci)则逐渐增加;各处理组的丙二醛(MDA)含量、过氧化物酶(POD)和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)活性均随胁迫时间的延长持续增加,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)活性及可溶性糖和脯氨酸含量在轻度淹水处理组逐渐增加,而在深度淹水处理组则呈现先升高后降低的变化趋势。因此,深度淹水胁迫下牡丹的生长和光合机构受到了一定程度的损伤,抗氧化酶和渗透调节物质的积累对提高植株的耐淹性起到了一定的调节作用。     

淹水胁迫对不结球白菜根系生长与呼吸酶活性的影响

采用双套盆法,以不结球白菜‘新矮青’和‘新夏青2号’品种为材料,研究了不同时间(1、3、5、恢复7d后)和不同程度淹水处理(根淹、半淹)后不结球白菜根系生长及呼吸代谢的变化规律。结果显示:(1)与对照相比,淹水胁迫下,不结球白菜幼苗根系鲜重、根系长度、根系活力显著下降,且半淹处理的下降幅度大于根淹处理。(2)淹水胁迫下,乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)、乙醇脱氢酶(ADH)活性较对照显著升高,而苹果脱氢酶(MDH)、琥珀酸脱氢酶(SDH)活性显著降低,且半淹处理的降幅大于根淹,淹水5d后与淹水1d后有显著性差异。(3)淹水胁迫下,‘新矮青’乳酸发酵途径弱于‘新夏青2号’,乙醇发酵则相反,导致后者根系中乳酸积累多于前者,细胞质酸化较严重,降低了对淹水胁迫的耐性。研究表明,不结球白菜幼苗期受到淹水胁迫时,其有氧呼吸明显受阻,无氧呼吸代谢被促进,而且随着淹水时间的延长及淹水深度的加深,根系呼吸代谢受到的抑制程度越严重,最终导致根系生长受到抑制。     

GA_3、ABA和IBA对不同灌溉方式下水稻叶绿素荧光特性及产量构成的影响

为了明确外源激素诱导水稻抗旱性的效果及其生理机制。以中嘉早17为材料,分析外源激素在淹水灌溉、干湿交替灌溉和干旱灌溉方式下叶绿素荧光参数的差异及其对产量与产量构成的影响。结果表明,干旱灌溉显著降低了叶片光系统Ⅱ(PSⅡ)最大光化学量子产量、实际光量子效率、非光化学猝灭值、有效穗数、每穗粒数、结实率,孕穗期比分蘖期更为敏感,表现为相同胁迫时间下最大光化学量子产量、每穗粒数、单株穗数等下降更显著。赤霉素(gibberellin,GA3)处理后降低了PSⅡ最大光化学量子产量、非光化学猝灭和光化学猝灭系数,导致有效穗数减少、千粒重和结实率降低。脱落酸(abscisic acid,ABA)处理能缓解孕穗期干旱胁迫,减轻水稻叶片的光抑制程度,提高叶绿素荧光参数,增强抗旱能力。综合来看,以分蘖期淹水条件下结合IBA处理产量最高,比对照增产7.4%,这可能与淹水条件下吲哚丁酸(indolebutyric acid,IBA)处理能提高光合效率有关。     

苗期涝渍对黄淮地区夏玉米生长和产量的影响

以玉米品种"浚单20"为试验材料,采用盆栽方式,在4叶期分别设置持续淹水(3、5和7 d)和持续渍水(5、10和15 d)处理,研究苗期涝渍对夏玉米生长及产量的影响。结果表明:苗期连续淹水3 d以上或渍水15 d的产量显著降低;与对照相比,淹水3~7 d,产量下降58.8%~69.8%(P0.05);渍水15 d,产量下降47.8%(P0.05);淹水3~5 d以及渍水15 d导致产量下降的主要原因是穗粒数减少,而淹水7 d减产是穗粒数减少和千粒重下降共同作用的结果;产量相对损失率与淹水天数的回归分析表明苗期淹水应控制在1 d以内;涝渍胁迫显著降低了地上部分干物质质量,其后续影响与胁迫方式、涝渍天数和生育期有关;淹水显著降低了拔节期及以后各生育期的地上干物质质量(P0.05),而渍水对成熟期干物质重影响不显著(P0.05);淹水处理可显著降低穗部占地上部分干物质的比例,淹水3~7 d,收获指数下降48.7%~64.1%(P0.05)。由此可判断,玉米产量随涝渍时间的延长而减少,且淹水胁迫对产量的影响大于渍水。     

外源ALA对干旱胁迫下山定子叶片叶绿素荧光特性及抗性生理指标的影响

以两年生山定子(Malus baccata(L.)Borkh)盆栽苗为材料,正常浇水为对照,控水条件下喷施不同浓度(0、25、50、75、100mg/L)5-氨基乙酰丙酸(ALA),测定各持续干旱胁迫时期(第0、4、8、12天)叶片的抗旱生理指标及光合荧光参数,研究ALA对干旱胁迫下山定子叶绿素荧光和抗逆生理生化特性的影响及其调节机制。结果显示:(1)持续干旱胁迫条件下,外源ALA处理使得山定子叶片渗透调节物质(SS、SP、Pro)含量增加,抗氧化酶(SOD、POD、APX)活性升高,丙二醛(MDA)积累减少。(2)ALA处理增大了干旱胁迫下山定子叶片的气孔开度,促进叶绿素的合成,并对干旱引起的最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m)、实际光量子效率(YⅡ)、光化学淬灭系数(qP)及光合电子传递速率(ETR)的减小,以及PSⅡ调节性能量耗散的量子产额(Y_(NPQ))、非调节性能量耗散的量子产额(Y_(NO))和非光化学淬灭系数(NPQ/4)的增大有明显的缓解作用。研究认为,外喷ALA能够有效缓解干旱胁迫对山定子生理代谢功能的损伤,但干旱胁迫条件下山定子对不同浓度ALA响应程度不尽相同,其中以75mg/L的ALA处理效果较为理想。     

Plant-Parasitic Nematodes of South Viet Nam

Between 1974 and 1978, 2,842 identifications of plant-parasitic nematodes were made from more than 1,700 soil and plant samples collected in eight provinces of South Viet Nam. Species in nine genera—Helicotylenchus, Criconemoides, Meloidogyne, Pratylenchus, Tylenchorhynchus, Hoplolaimus, Hirschmanniella, Xiphinema, and Rotylenchulus—comprised 96.1% of the identifications; the remaining 3.9% were species of 11 genera. Fourteen genera were associated with rice which was grown on about 2,500,000 ha in 1970. Of these, Ditylenchus, Hirschmanniella, and Meloidogyne were most important. Ditylenchus angustus caused severe damage to about 50,000 ha of flooded rice in the Mekong Delta in 1976. Hirschmanniella spp. were found in all samples examined from flooded rice fields. Meloidogyne spp. were common in rice seedbeds, upland rice, and rice not kept flooded continuously. Meloidogyne and Pratylenchus spp. were found in roots of 22 of the 32 crop plants sampled. Little or no attempt was made in South Viet Nam to control nematodes.     

Study of types of some species of "Filaria" (Nematoda) parasites of small mammals described by Von Linstow and Molin

Parasitic nematodes from the Berlin (ZMB) and Vienna (NMW) Museum collections referred to the genus Filaria Mueller, 1787 by von Linstow or Molin were studied. Three samples were in good condition and the specimens redescribed. Litomosa hepatica (von Linstow, 1897) n. comb., sample ZMB Vermes Entozoa 3368, from the megachiropteran Pteropus neohibernicus, Bismarck Archipelago, resembles L. maki Tibayrenc, Bain & Ramanchandran, 1979, from Pteropus vampyrus, in Malaysia, but the buccal capsule differs. Both species display particular morphological characters which differ from species of Litomosa parasitic in microchiropterans. The remaining material originates from Brazil. The spicule morphology of Litomosoides circularis (von Linstow, 1899) Chandler, 1931, sample ZMB Vermes Entozoa 1059 from Hesperomys spec. (= Holochilus brasiliensis), Porto Alegre, confirms that it belongs to the sigmodontis group; the microfilaria presents characters of the genus Litomosoides, e.g. body attenuated at both extremities and salient cephalic hook. Taxonomic discussions by others confirm that species of Litomosoides belonging to the sigmodontis group and described subsequently are distinct from L. circularis. Litomosoides serpicula (Molin, 1858) Guerrero, Martin, Gardner & Bain, 2002, is redescribed, sample NMW 6323 from the bat Phyllostoma spiculatum (= Sturnira lilium), Ypanema. It is very close to L. brasiliensis Almeida, 1936, type host Moytis sp., but distinguished by a single ring in the buccal capsule, rather than two, supporting previous conclusions that the taxon L. brasiliensis, as generally regarded, may represent a complex of species. Samples NMW 6322 and NMW 6324, from other bats and also identified by Molin (1858) as Filaria serpicula, contain unidentifiable fragments of Litomosoides incertae sedis. Filaria hyalina von Linstow, 1890, sample ZMB Vermes Entozoa Q 3905 from Sorer vulgaris (= Sorex araneus), is incertae sedis because it contains two unidentifiable posterior parts of male, which might be an acuarid, Stammerinema sp. Filaria vesperuginis von Linstow, 1885, sample ZMB Vermes Entozoa Q 3929, from the bat Vesperugo serotinus (= Eptesicus serotinus), contains encysted nematode larvae and is a nomen dubium.     

Multilocus phylogenetic analysis of the genus Aeromonas

A broad multilocus phylogenetic analysis (MLPA) of the representative diversity of a genus offers the opportunity to incorporate concatenated inter-species phylogenies into bacterial systematics. Recent analyses based on single housekeeping genes have provided coherent phylogenies of Aeromonas. However, to date, a multi-gene phylogenetic analysis has never been tackled. In the present study, the intra- and inter-species phylogenetic relationships of 115 strains representing all Aeromonas species described to date were investigated by MLPA. The study included the independent analysis of seven single gene fragments (gyrB, rpoD, recA, dnaJ, gyrA, dnaX, and atpD), and the tree resulting from the concatenated 4705 bp sequence. The phylogenies obtained were consistent with each other, and clustering agreed with the Aeromonas taxonomy recognized to date. The highest clustering robustness was found for the concatenated tree (i.e. all Aeromonas species split into 100% bootstrap clusters). Both possible chronometric distortions and poor resolution encountered when using single-gene analysis were buffered in the concatenated MLPA tree. However, reliable phylogenetic species delineation required an MLPA including several “bona fide” strains representing all described species.     

Fate map of the distal portion of Drosophila proboscis as inferred from the expression and mutations of basic patterning genes

The late-third-instar labial disc is comprised of two disc-proper cell layers, one representing mainly the ventral half of the anterior compartment (L-layer) and the other, the dorsal half of the anterior compartment and most, if not all, of the posterior compartment (M-layer). In the L-layer, Distal-less represses homothorax whereas no Distal-less-dependent homothorax repression occurs in the M-layer where Distal-less is coexpressed with homothorax. In wild-type labial discs, clawless, one of the two homeobox genes expressed in distal cells receiving maximum (Decapentaplegic+Wingless) signaling activity in leg and antennal discs, is specifically repressed by proboscipedia. A fate map, inferred from data on basic patterning gene expression in larval and pupal stages and mutant phenotypes, indicates the inner surface of the labial palpus, which includes the pseudotracheal region, to be a derivative of the distal portion of the M-layer expressing wingless, patched, Distal-less and homothorax. The outer surface of the labial palpus with more than 30 taste bristles derives from an L-layer area consisting of dorsal portions of the anterior and posterior compartments, each expressing Distal-less. Our analysis also indicates that, in adults and pupae, the anterior-posterior boundary, dividing roughly equally the outer surface of the distiproboscis, runs along the outer circumference of the inner surface of distiproboscis.     

Molecular phylogeny of Phoma and allied anamorph genera: Towards a reclassification of the Phoma complex

The present generic concept of Phoma is broadly defined, with nine sections being recognised based on morphological characters. Teleomorph states of Phoma have been described in the genera Didymella, Leptosphaeria, Pleospora and Mycosphaerella, indicating that Phoma anamorphs represent a polyphyletic group. In an attempt to delineate generic boundaries, representative strains of the various Phoma sections and allied coelomycetous genera were included for study. Sequence data of the 18S nrDNA (SSU) and the 28S nrDNA (LSU) regions of 18 Phoma strains included were compared with those of representative strains of 39 allied anamorph genera, including Ascochyta, Coniothyrium, Deuterophoma, Microsphaeropsis, Pleurophoma, Pyrenochaeta, and 11 teleomorph genera. The type species of the Phoma sections Phoma, Phyllostictoides, Sclerophomella, Macrospora and Peyronellaea grouped in a subclade in the Pleosporales with the type species of Ascochyta and Microsphaeropsis. The new family Didymellaceae is proposed to accommodate these Phoma sections and related anamorph genera. The present study demonstrated that Phoma radicina, the type species of Phoma sect. Paraphoma and Phoma heteromorphospora, the type species of Phoma sect. Heterospora can be assigned to the Phaeosphaeriaceae and Leptosphaeriaceae respectively.     

Microbial transformation of zaluzanin-D

Microbial transformation of zaluzanin-D using different fungi gave 11,13-dihydrozaluzanin-C, zaluzanin-C, 4,16,11,13 - tetrahydro zaluzanin-C, estafiatone, dihydroestafiatol and dihydroestafiatone.     

Unification of the genera Nonlabens, Persicivirga, Sandarakinotalea and Stenothermobacter into a single emended genus, Nonlabens, and description of Nonlabens agnitus sp. nov

Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that a bacterial isolate, designated JC2678(T), represents a distinct phyletic line within the suprageneric monophyletic clade containing the genera Nonlabens, Persicivirga, Stenothermobacter and Sandarakinotalea. The polyphasic data presented in this study demonstrated that the members belonging to the Nonlabens-like clade overall constitute a single genus. Therefore, it is proposed to transfer the members of genera Persicivirga O'Sullivan et al. 2006, Stenothermobacter Lau et al. 2006 and Sandarakinotalea Khan et al. 2006 to the genus Nonlabens Lau et al. 2005. Thus, P. dokdonensis (Yoon et al. 2006) Nedashkovskaya et al. 2009, P. ulvanivorans Barbeyron et al. 2010, P. xylanidelens O'Sullivan et al. 2006, Sandarakinotalea sediminis Khan et al. 2006 and Stenothermobacter spongiae Lau et al. 2006 should be transferred to Nonlabens dokdonensis comb. nov., Nonlabens ulvanivorans comb. nov., Nonlabens xylanidelens comb. nov., Nonlabens sediminis comb. nov. and Nonlabens spongiae comb. nov., respectively. In addition, strain JC2678(T) (=KACC 14155(T)=JCM 17109(T)) is proposed to constitute a novel species belonging to the genus Nonlabens with the name of Nonlabens agnitus sp. nov.
