陆地生态系统植物的氮源及氮素吸收

氮是植物生长发育所必需的营养元素,也是其主要的限制因子之一.陆地生态系统植物所需氮的来源及植物对氮素的吸收利用均受控于其种类和生长环境.环境条件的改变,一方面可能改变植物生长区原有氮的形态、浓度、赋存方式等,从而改变氮对植物的供给状况;另一方面可能引起植物生长区土壤质量、水分利用状况、光照等的改变,从而产生耦合现象,直接影响植物的生理生态特性,使植物对氮素的吸收利用发生改变,导致植物生长区的种群类型及物种多样性发生改变,并直接影响到生态系统的功能及演替.本文主要对陆地生态系统中高等植物生长发育所需氮素的来源及植物对氮素吸收利用过程中的影响因素进行了综述和讨论,并结合国内外在该领域的研究现状对其研究前景进行了展望.

土著菌根真菌和混生植物对羊草生长和磷营养的影响

植物种间相互作用直接影响植物生长、根系可塑性及养分吸收,而与植物共生的丛枝菌根真菌可以改变植物个体和种间养分资源的分配,具有协调种间竞争的潜力.以我国北方草甸草原建群种羊草(Leymus chinensis)和混生植物紫花苜蓿(Medicago sativa)及独行菜(Lepidium spetalum)为供试植物,通过模拟盆栽试验,研究了土著菌根真菌和混生植物对羊草生长、根系形态及磷营养的影响.试验结果表明,土著菌根真菌能够与羊草及紫花苜蓿形成良好共生,而独行菜根内基本未形成菌根共生结构.土著菌根真菌显著降低了羊草及独行菜的生物量,但促进了紫花苜蓿的生长;混种紫花苜蓿显著促进了羊草的生长,而混种独行菜则显著抑制了羊草的生长.土著菌根真菌对羊草根系形态的影响表现出与植株生物量类似的趋势,但不同混生植物对羊草根系生长均无显著影响.土著菌根真菌和混生植物对羊草植株磷含量均无显著影响.与混生植物相比,羊草具有较高的比根长和磷吸收能力,这也解释了其负向菌根依赖性.研究证实了菌根真菌和植物种间相互作用均是影响草原优势植物生长和根系发育的重要因素,深入研究其交互作用对于科学管理草地生态系统,维持植物群落的稳定性和生态系统生产力具有重要意义.     

木棉花对乳酸菌生长及保存活力的影响

通过实验研究木棉花对与人类关系密切的植物乳杆菌、两歧双歧杆菌、嗜热链球菌的生长及保存活力的影响。结果表明:木棉花对植物乳杆菌和两歧双歧杆菌的生长及保存活力有较大促进作用,而且此促进作用随着木棉花浓度的增大而增大。木棉花对嗜热链球菌的生长和保存活力的促进作用很小。因此,可考虑将木棉花适当添加到含有植物乳杆菌、两歧双歧杆菌的食品中,用以促进菌体的生长及保存活力,还可考虑利用木棉花制微生态制剂。

Most soil trophic guilds increase plant growth: a meta‐analytical review

Trophic cascades are important drivers of plant and animal abundances in aquatic and aboveground systems, but in soils trophic cascades have been thought to be of limited importance due to omnivory and other factors. Here we use a meta‐analysis of 215 studies with 1526 experiments that measured plant growth responses to additions or removals of soil organisms to test how different soil trophic levels affect plant growth. Consistent with the trophic cascade hypothesis, we found that herbivores and plant pathogens (henceforth pests) decreased plant growth and that predators of pests increased plant growth. The magnitude of this trophic cascade was similar to that reported for aboveground systems. In contrast, we did not find evidence for trophic cascades in decomposer‐ and symbiont‐based (henceforth mutualist) food chains. In these food chains, mutualists increased plant growth and predators of mutualists also increased plant growth, presumably by increasing nutrient cycling rates. Therefore, mutualists, predators of mutualists and predators of pests all increased plant growth. Further, experiments that added multiple organisms from different trophic levels also increased plant growth. As a result, across the dataset, soil organisms increased plant growth 29% and non‐pest soil organisms increased plant growth 46%. Omnivory has traditionally been thought to confound soil trophic dynamics, but here we suggest that omnivory allows for a simplified perspective of soil food webs – one in which most soil organisms increase plant growth by preying on pests or increasing nutrient cycling rates. An implication of this perspective is that processes that decrease soil organism abundance (e.g. soil tillage) are likely to decrease aboveground productivity. Synthesis Soil foodwebs have resisted generalizations due to their diversity and interconnectedness. Here we use results from a meta‐analysis to inform a simplified perspective of soil foodwebs: one in which most soil trophic guilds increase plant growth. Our review also includes the first widespread support for the presence of trophic cascades in soils.     

植物生长抽梢期和气候因子对株高生长影响

利用西双版纳热带植物园的热带植物物候观测资料和气候资料,通过对热带植物株高生长偏差、生长抽梢期和气候因子的分析,探讨了三者的关系。结果表明,热带植物生长抽梢期变长不一定影响株高生长,而且与株高生长偏差的关系也小于气候因子与株高生长偏差的关系。同时,热带植物生长抽梢期对气候因子和株高生长偏差之间关系的贡献很小。因此,可以认为热带植物的生长期对植被生产力的促进作用较弱。     

Structure and ecological function of the soil microbiome affecting plant–soil feedbacks in the presence of a soil-borne pathogen

Interactions between plants and soil microbes are important for plant growth and resistance. Through plant–soil-feedbacks, growth of a plant is influenced by the previous plant that was growing in the same soil. We performed a plant–soil feedback study with 37 grass, forb and legume species, to condition the soil and then tested the effects of plant-induced changes in soil microbiomes on the growth of the commercially important cut-flower Chrysanthemum in presence and absence of a pathogen. We analysed the fungal and bacterial communities in these soils using next-generation sequencing and examined their relationship with plant growth in inoculated soils with or without the root pathogen, Pythium ultimum. We show that a large part of the soil microbiome is plant species-specific while a smaller part is conserved at the plant family level. We further identified clusters of plant species creating plant growth promoting microbiomes that suppress concomitantly plant pathogens. Especially soil inocula with higher relative abundances of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi caused positive effects on the Chrysanthemum growth when exposed to the pathogen. We conclude that plants differ greatly in how they influence the soil microbiome and that plant growth and protection against pathogens is associated with a complex soil microbial community.     

A Genomic and Molecular View of Wood Formation

Wood formation is a process derived from plant secondary growth. Different from primary growth, plant secondary growth is derived from cambium meristem cells in the vascular and cork cambia and leads to the girth increase of the plant trunk. In the secondary growth process, plants convert most of photosynthesized products into various biopolymers for use in the formation of woody tissues. This article summarizes the new developments of genomic and genetic characterization of wood formation in herbaceous model plant and tree plant systems. Genomic studies have categorized a collection of the genes for which expression is associated with secondary growth. During wood formation, the expression of many genes is regulated in a stage-specific manner. The function of many genes involved in wood biosyntheses and xylem differentiation has been characterized. Although great progress has been achieved in the molecular and genomic understanding of plant secondary growth in recent years, the profound genetic mechanisms underlying this plant development remain to be investigated. Completion of the first tree genome sequence (Populus genome) provides a valuable genomic resource for characterization of plant secondary growth.     

The role of mycorrhizae and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in improving crop productivity under stressful environments

Both biotic and abiotic stresses are major constrains to agricultural production. Under stress conditions, plant growth is affected by a number of factors such as hormonal and nutritional imbalance, ion toxicity, physiological disorders, susceptibility to diseases, etc. Plant growth under stress conditions may be enhanced by the application of microbial inoculation including plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and mycorrhizal fungi. These microbes can promote plant growth by regulating nutritional and hormonal balance, producing plant growth regulators, solubilizing nutrients and inducing resistance against plant pathogens. In addition to their interactions with plants, these microbes also show synergistic as well as antagonistic interactions with other microbes in the soil environment. These interactions may be vital for sustainable agriculture because they mainly depend on biological processes rather than on agrochemicals to maintain plant growth and development as well as proper soil health under stress conditions. A number of research articles can be deciphered from the literature, which shows the role of rhizobacteria and mycorrhizae alone and/or in combination in enhancing plant growth under stress conditions. However, in contrast, a few review papers are available which discuss the synergistic interactions between rhizobacteria and mycorrhizae for enhancing plant growth under normal (non-stress) or stressful environments. Biological interactions between PGPR and mycorrhizal fungi are believed to cause a cumulative effect on all rhizosphere components, and these interactions are also affected by environmental factors such as soil type, nutrition, moisture and temperature. The present review comprehensively discusses recent developments on the effectiveness of PGPR and mycorrhizal fungi for enhancing plant growth under stressful environments. The key mechanisms involved in plant stress tolerance and the effectiveness of microbial inoculation for enhancing plant growth under stress conditions have been discussed at length in this review. Growth promotion by single and dual inoculation of PGPR and mycorrhizal fungi under stress conditions have also been discussed and reviewed comprehensively.

Large-scale evaluation of plant growth in Arabidopsis thaliana by non-invasive image analysis

Analysis of plant growth is a necessary step for the evaluation of plant performance and productivity. For the study of plant performance in Arabidopsis thaliana, a number of mutant collections is available, but a comprehensive methodology to monitor their growth behaviour is lacking. We demonstrate that a novel system, comprising of digital video and image analysis can determine plant size non-destructively by measuring plant leaf area of A. thaliana ecotypes, Columbia 0 and Landsberg erecta, under short and long day conditions. This system provides a non-intrusive method for the monitoring and quantification of plant growth and the evaluation of growth rates. It is applicable for large-scale approaches, such as screening for alteration in growth (rate) in mutant collections. This new system provides the tool for a very accurate determination of individual plant growth rate, even during early developmental stages, requiring as little time as 1 week.     

Plant hormones: metabolism, signaling and crosstalk

Plants synthesize various hormones in response to environmental cues and developmental signals to ensure their proper growth and development.Elucidation of the molecular mechanisms by which plant hormones control growth and development contributes to our understanding of fundamental plant biology and provides tools to improve crops.Because of their critical roles in plant growth and development, plant hormones have been studied extensively since the early days of plant biology.
