侧柏幼树不同生长阶段对水分的敏感性与蒸腾效率

通过旱棚人工控水,对不同生长阶段谐变供水条件下,供水量与供水方式对侧柏幼树蒸腾耗水、水分利用效率的影响、幼树不同生长阶段对水分的敏感性等问题进行了研究。结果表明,幼树总耗水量随年均土壤供水能力和幼树各生长阶段供水模式的不同而变化。在平均有效水供给能力较低或单一阶段土壤相对含水率不超过87.84 %时,幼树蒸腾耗水量随中后期——生长盛期和生长后期供水量的增加而增大;相反,在平均有效水供给能力较高或单一阶段土壤相对含水率超过87.84 %时,幼树蒸腾耗水量则随着中前期——生长前期和生长盛期供水量的增加而增大。在年均土壤供水能力基本相同时,不同生长阶段供水量的分配对侧柏幼树蒸腾耗水有较大影响。综合分析表明,生长盛期供水对蒸腾耗水的贡献最大,生长后期次之,生长前期最小。侧柏幼树不同生长阶段对水分的敏感性,以生长盛期和生长前期最大,生长后期较低。但生长后期适度减少水分供应,具有一定的促长作用。使侧柏幼树达到最佳水分利用效率的土壤供水水平为:生长前期土壤相对含水率75 .96 % ,生长盛期73.76 % ,生长后期6 9.5 2 %。并建立了侧柏幼树的时间水分生产函数

Effect of water stress at different developmental stages of field-grown rice

Water-stress for 10d at different developmental stages, affected relative water content and leaf water potential of plants. Subsequent rewatering removed these effects. Water stress lowered the contents of chlorophyll, protein, RNA and the activity of catalase, while it increased free proline accumulation and activities of protease, RNase and peroxidase. An overall improvement in biochemical parameters was achieved as soon as the stress was withdrawn by watering and this was reflected in subsequent developmental stages. Water-stress at the reproductive stages induced similar changes as in the vegetative stage but the removal of stress could not improve these parameters to the same extent as at the vegetative stage. In consequence, stress applied at the vegetative stage augmented yield parameters but when applied at the reproductive stage it significantly reduced the yield.     

Changes in water status during water stress at different stages of development in wheat

The dynamics of stomatal resistance and osmotic adjustment in response to plant water deficits and stage of physiological development was studied in the leaves of spring wheat ( Triticum aestivum L., GWO 1809). Plants were germinated and grown in pots in a growth chamber at the Duke University Phytotron to four physiological stages of development (4th leaf, 7th leaf, anthesis, and soft dough), during which time stomatal resistance, total water potential and osmotic potential were measured on the last fully developed leaf of water stressed and non-stressed plants. Pressure potential was obtained by difference. Stomatal closure of the abaxial and adaxial surfaces were independent of each other, each having a different critical total water potential. The total water potential required to close the stomata on the last fully developed leaf were different at different stages of physiological development, decreasing as the plants grew older. The development of osmoregulation in wheat allows the closure of stomata during the vegetative stage at a high total water potential, but insures that stomata remain open from anthesis through the ear filling period to a lower total water potential.     

A pot evaluation of the sensitivity of spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) to water stress applied at different growth stages

Two-year pot experiments with three varieties of spring barley were carried out. Water stress (water deficit of soil up to 40% of field water-holding capacity) was employed in four basic growth stages of plants: tillering, shooting (stem extension stage), ear formation and milk maturity. Reactions of the plants to water stress were expressed by a decline in the grain yield of the studied varieties throughout the growing season. The greatest losses in production of spring barley grain due to the experienced water stress of the plants were found at the beginning of ear formation and milk maturity stages of the grain. The sensitivity of the plants to the stress caused by water deficit in the soil during the initial period of their vegetative growth was smaller. Varieties showed significantly different sensitivities to the experienced water stress, depending on the growth stage during which the plants suffered from the stress.     

Protein and free amino acids in field-grown cowpea seeds as affected by water stress at various growth stages

Summary This study was undertaken to evaluate water stress effects during vegetative, flowering, and podfilling stages of cowpea plants (Vigna unguiculata L.) grown under natural field conditions in southern California on seed yield and protein and free amino acid content of the cowpea seeds. The lowest concentration of N was found in the seeds of the control treatment plants while the seed yield from these treatments was the highest as compared with the N concentration and yield of seeds from plants subjected to water stress during flowering and podfilling stages. The concentration of N in the seeds was inversely related to the seed dry weight yield. Protein arginine,-threonine,-serine,-cystine,-valine,-methionine, and-isoleucine were significantly affected by water stress at the three growth stages. There was no consistent pattern in the effect of water stress on the individual amino acids. The sum of protein amino acids in the cowpea seeds was not significantly influenced by the various treatments since some of the protein amino acids increased and others decreased producing an averaging effect on the figures comprising the sums of the amino acids. Water stress during the flowering and pod-filling stages increased the free amino acid pool, and at the same time, inhibited incorporation of the amino acids into the protein chain-thus lowering the protein amino acid fraction simultaneously. With the exception of methionine plus cystine, the essential amino acids in the seeds were present at concentrations equal to or greater than recommended by the World Health Organization and FAO. It is of particular importance to note that the concentration of lysine in the cowpeas was substantially higher than that found in wheat grain. It is also important to note that the amount of essential amino acids per gram of protein was not measurably affected by the water stress treatments during any of the growth stages.     

不同时期干旱胁迫对甘薯光合效率和耗水特性的影响

在2014-2015年遮雨棚下种植甘薯品种‘济薯21’,以全生育期正常灌水(WW)为对照,研究了全生育期(DS)、发根分枝期(DS₁)、蔓薯并长期(DS₂)和快速膨大期(DS₃)干旱胁迫对甘薯光合作用、产量和耗水特性的影响.结果表明: DS、DS₁、DS₂和DS₃的生物产量分别比WW降低31.3%、21.2%、19.6%和7.7%,收获指数分别降低19.9%、14.5%、14.1%和6.5%,薯干产量分别降低45.3%、33.1%、31.3%和14.2%.栽后100 d,DS、DS₁、DS₂和DS₃的叶面积系数分别比WW减少77.1%、60.1%、39.2%和17.1%;栽后90 d,叶片光合速率分别比WW降低56.7%、26.6%、18.7%和9.5%.干旱胁迫降低了甘薯垄间的日蒸发量、蒸腾速率、耗水量和日耗水量,降低了土壤水利用效率而提高了灌溉水利用效率.干旱胁迫通过降低叶面积系数和光合速率,减少了生物产量及其向块根的分配,进而导致薯干产量显著降低.干旱胁迫时间越早、持续时间越长,对叶面积系数和光合速率,以及生物产量和收获指数的不利影响越大、导致减产幅度越大,水分利用效率越低.在有限的灌水条件下,甘薯生产中应尽可能减少前期干旱.     

Response of wheat to subsoil salinity and temporary water stress at different stages of the reproductive phase

To examine the effects of subsoil NaCl salinity in relation to water stress imposed at different growth stages, wheat was grown in a heavy texture clay soil (vertosol) under glasshouse conditions in polythene lined cylindrical PVC pots (100 cm long with 10.5 cm diameter) with very low salinity level (EC_e 1.0 dS/m; ESP 1.0 and Cl 30 mg/kg soil) in top 10 cm soil (10–20 cm pot zone) and low salinity level (EC_e 2.5 dS/m, ESP 5, and Cl 100 mg/kg soil) in top 10–20 cm soil (20–30 cm pot zone). The plants were exposed to three subsoil salinity levels in the 20–90 cm subsoil (30–100 cm pot zone) namely low salinity (EC_e: 2.5 dS/m, ESP: 5, Cl: 100 mg/kg soil), medium salinity (EC_e: 4.0 dS/m, ESP: 10, Cl: 400 mg/kg) and high salinity (EC_e: 11.5 dS/m, ESP: 20, Cl: 1950 mg/kg) in the subsoil (20–90 cm soil layer: 30–100 cm pot zone). Watering of plants was withheld for 20 days commencing at either early booting or anthesis or mid grain filling, and then resumed until maturity, and these treatments were compared with no water stress. Water stress commencing at anthesis stage had the most depressing effect on grain yield and water use efficiency of wheat followed by water stress at grain filling stage and early booting stage. High subsoil salinity reduced grain yield by 39.1, 24.3%, and 13.4% respectively in plants water-stressed around anthesis, early booting, and mid grain filling compared with 36.6% in well-watered plants. There was a significant reduction in root biomass, rooting depth, water uptake and water use efficiency of wheat with increasing subsoil salinity irrespective of water regimes. Plants at high subsoil salinity had 64% of their root biomass in the top 0–30 cm soil and there was a marked reduction in subsoil water uptake. Roots also penetrated below the non-saline surface into salinised subsoil and led to attain high concentration of Na and Cl and reduced Ca/Na and K/Na ratio of flag leaf at anthesis stage. Results suggest that high subsoil salinity affects root growth and water uptake, grain yield and water use efficiency even in well water plants. Water stress at anthesis stage had the most depressing effect on wheat.     

Metabolic changes associated with adaptation of plant cells to water stress

Suspension cultured cells of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv VFNT Cherry) adapted to water stress induced with polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG), exhibit marked alterations in free amino acid pools (Handa et al. 1983 Plant Physiol 73: 834-843). Using computer simulation models the in vivo rates of synthesis and utilization and compartmentation of free amino acid pools were determined from ¹⁵N labeling kinetics after substituting [¹⁵N]ammonium and [¹⁵N]nitrate for the ¹⁴N salts in the culture medium of cell lines adapted to 0% and 25% PEG. The 300-fold elevated proline pool in 25% PEG adapted cells is primarily the consequence of a 10-fold elevated rate of proline synthesis via the glutamate pathway. Ornithine was insufficiently labeled to serve as a major precursor for proline. Our calculations suggest that the rate of proline synthesis only slightly exceeds the rate required to sustain both protein synthesis and proline pool maintenance with growth. Mechanisms must operate to restrict proline oxidation in adapted cells. The kinetics of labeling of proline in 25% PEG adapted cells are consistent with a single, greatly enlarged metabolic pool of proline. The depletion of glutamine in adapted cells appears to be a consequence of a selective depletion of a large, metabolically inactive storage pool present in unadapted cultures. The labeling kinetics of the amino nitrogen groups of glutamine and glutamate are consistent with the operation of the glutamine synthetase-glutamate synthase cycle in both cell lines. However, we could not conclusively discriminate between the exclusive operation of the glutamine synthetase-glutamate synthase cycle and a 10 to 20% contribution of the glutamate dehydrogenase pathway of ammonia assimilation. Adaptation to water stress leads to increased nitrogen flux from glutamate into alanine and γ-aminobutyrate, suggesting increased pyruvate availability and increased rates of glutamate decarboxylation. Both alanine and γ-aminobutyrate are synthesized at rates greatly in excess of those simply required to maintain the free pools with growth, indicating that these amino acids are rapidly turned over. Thus, both synthesis and utilization rates for alanine and γ-aminobutyrate are increased in adapted cells. Adaptation to stress leads to increased rates of synthesis of valine and leucine apparently at the expense of isoleucine. Remarkably low ¹⁵N flux via the aspartate family amino acids was observed in these experiments. The rate of synthesis of threonine appeared too low to account for threonine utilization in protein synthesis, pool maintenance, and isoleucine biosynthesis. It is possible that isoleucine may be deriving carbon skeletons from sources other than threonine. Tentative models of the nitrogen flux of these two contrasting cell lines are discussed in relation to carbon metabolism, osmoregulation, and nitrogenous solute compartmentation.     

Metabolic changes induced during adaptation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to a water stress

When exponentially growing Saccharomyces cerevisiae was transferred from a normal high water activity growth medium (a_w 0.997) to a medium containing 8% NaCl low water activity growth medium (a_w 0.955), glycerol accumulation during the first eight hours of the adaptation was both retarded and greatly diminished in magnitude. Investigation of the underlying reasons for the slow onset of glycerol accumulation revealed that not only was overall glycerol production reduced by salt transfer, but also the rates of ethanol production and glucose consumption were reduced. Measurement of glycolytic intermediates revealed an accumulation of glucose-6-phosphate, fructose-6-phosphate, fructose 1,6 bisphosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate in S. cerevisiae 3 to 4 h after transfer to salt, suggesting that one or more glycolytic enzymes were inhibited. Potassium ions accumulated in S. cerevisiae after salt transfer and reached a maximum about 6 h after transfer, whereas the sodium ion content increased progressively during the adaptation period. The trehalose content also increased in adapting cells. It is suggested that inhibition of glycerol production during the initial period of adaptation could be due to either the inhibition of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase by increased cation content or the inhibitin of glycolysis, glycerol being produced glycolytically in S. cerevisiae. The increased accumulation of glycerol towards the end of the 8-h period suggests that the osmoregulatory response of S. cerevisiae involves complex sets of adjustments in which inhibition of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase must be relieved before glycerol functions as a major osmoregulator.     

Proline accumulation and the adaptation of cultured plant cells to water stress

The transfer of cultured tomato cells (Lycopersicon esculentum cv VFNT-Cherry) to a low water potential environment resulted in an increased dry weight to fresh weight ratio accompanied by a rapid accumulation of proline. Proline content continued to increase as osmotic adjustment and growth occurred. The initial increase in proline concentration was accompanied by a drop in turgor. However, proline levels continued to increase with a gain in turgor during osmotic adjustment. Thus, the accumulation of proline depended not only on cell water potential, or on the initial loss of turgor but more closely on cell osmotic potential. The ultimate level of proline depended on the level of adaptation. Proline levels remained high after more than 100 cell generations in low water potential media, but declined rapidly after transfer to media with a less negative water potential. Addition of exogenous proline to the medium during water stress and during osmotic downshock alleviated the normally resulting inhibition of growth. The results suggest a positive role for proline accumulation in adaptation of cells to changing external water potentials.

Photosynthesis and growth of winter wheat in response to waterlogging at different growth stages

A study on photosynthetic and yield effects of waterlogging of winter wheat at four stages of growth was conducted in specially designed experimental tanks during the 2007–2008 and 2008–2009 seasons. Compared with the control, waterlogging treatments at tillering and jointing-booting stages reduced photosynthetic rate (P _N) and transpiration (E) significantly, it also decreased average leaf water-use efficiency (WUE, defined as the ratio of P _N to E) by 3.3% and 3.4% in both years. All parameters returned quickly to the control level after soil was drained. Damage to the photosynthetic apparatus during waterlogging resulted in a lower F_v/F_m ratio, especially at the first two stages. A strong reduction in root length, root mass, root/shoot ratio, total dry mass, and leaf area index were observed. The responses from vegetative plants at tillering and jointing-booting stages were greater than in generative plants at onset of flowering and at milky stages. The number of panicles per hectare at tillering stage and the spikelet per panicle at the stages of jointing-booting and at onset of flowering were also significantly reduced by waterlogging, giving 8.2–11.3% decrease of the grain yield relative to the control in both years. No significant difference in yield components and a grain yield was observed between the control and treatments applied at milky stages. These responses, modulated by the environmental conditions prevailing during and after waterlogging, included negative effects on the growth, photosynthetic apparatus, and the grain yield in winter wheat, but the effect was strongly stage-dependent.
