Primary production data measured by in situ (IS) and simulatedin situ (SIS) incubations were compared. To minimize differencesbetween the two types of incubations, SIS experiments were conductedin temperature-controlled incubators in which the spectral distributionand irradiance were adjusted to approximate IS conditions. ISavailable irradiance (IIs) was computed from vertical attenuationof integrated surface irradiance. Vertical attenuation was estimatedusing a spectral irradiance model, validated by measured profilesof the vertical attenuation coefficient. IS incubations werecarried out using two methods. The first involved deploymentof bottles on a drifting array for whole-day (dawn to dusk)incubations. The second method employed an autonomous submersibleincubation device that performed short term (<1 h) incubationsat multiple depths. Differences between whole-day IS and SISincubation estimates were attributed partially to differencesbetween IIS and SIS-available irradiance (ISIS). Photosynthesis-irradiance(P-I) properties of IS and SIS populations from the whole-dayincubations were not significantly different. P-I propertiesof the short-term IS and SIS populations were significantlydifferent, although estimates of PB (mg C mg Chl1 h1)from contemporaneous IS and SIS incubations did not differ by>40%. Integrated water-column primary production (IPP) estimatedusing P-I models derived from SIS data were within 15% of ISestimates of IPP. 相似文献

The productive and optical status of the oligotrophic waters of the Southern Aegean Sea (Cretan Sea), Eastern Mediterranean 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Primary production, pigment concentrations and spectral measurementsof downwelling irradiance were made at four stations in fourseasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter) during 1994 in thewaters of the South Aegean Sea (Cretan Sea), Eastern Mediterranean.Rates of production were determined using in Situ incubationtechniques and included measurements at the surface microlayer.Depth-integrated values averaged over season were 5.66 mg Cm2 h1 for primary production and the correspondingchlorophyll (Ch1) a and phaeophytin (Phaeo) a values had meansof 4.87 and 1.21 mg m3 respectively. The assimilationratio remained very low (mean over season: 1.19 mg C mg2Chl a h1 as did the Phaeo a/Chl a ratio (mean over season:0.24). The annual production for the area was estimated to yield24.79 g C m2 year1. Primary production and Chla estimates showed statistically significant seasonal, spatialand depth variations.

Three marine phytoplankton species (Skeletonema costatum, Olisthodiscusluteus andGonyaulax tamarensis) were grown in batch culturesat 15°C and a 14:10 L:D cycle at irradiance levels rangingfrom 5 to 450 µEinst m2 s1. At each irradiance,during exponential growth, concurrent measurements were madeof cell division, carbon-specific growth rate, photosyntheticperformance (both O2 and POC production), dark respiration,and cellular composition in terms of C, N and chlorophyll a.The results indicate that the three species were similar withrespect to chemical composition, C:N (atomic) = 6.9 ±0.4, photo-synthetic quotient, 1.43 ± 0.09, and photosyntheticefficiency, 2.3 ±0.1 x 103 µmol O2 (µgChl a)1 h1 (µEinst m2 s1)1.Differences in maximum growth rate varied as the 0.24power of cell carbon. Differences in growth efficiency, werebest explained by a power function of Chl a:C at µ = 0.Compensation intensities, ranged from 1.1 µEinst m2s1 for S. costatum to 35 forG. tamarensis and were foundto be a linear function of the maintenance respiration rate.The results indicate that interspecific differences in the µIrelationship can be adequately explained in terms of just threeparameters: cell carbon at maximum growth rate, the C:Chl aratio (at the limit as growth approaches zero) and the respirationrate at zero growth rate. A light-limited algal growth modelbased on these results gave an excellent fit to the experimentalµI curves and explained 97% of the observed interspecificvariability.

For Gyrodinium aureolum significant irradiance and daylengtheffects were found on the division rate and on the growth-relevantChla-normalized photosynthetic rate (gPB). Optimum conditionsof irradiance and daylength were found at 230 µmol m2s1 and 14 h for the division rate, and at >260 µmolm2 s1 and <6 h for gPB.gPB showed no photoinhibition,while the division rate decreased markedly at irradiances abovesaturation. This difference and the difference in optimum irradiancebetween the division rate and gPB are explained by a decreasein cellular Chla/carbon ratio with increasing irradiance. Thecellular content of carbon and nitrogen decreased significantlywith increasing irradiance. Total phosphorus was independentof irradiance and daylength. Below the saturation irradiancefor gPB the daily Chla-normalized carbon yield may be describedas an exponential function of the daily irradiance (irradiancex daylength). 相似文献

The distributions of chlorophyll a and salinity were sampledon successive days along horizontal transects in central LongIsland Sound. Changes in the variance spectra over a periodof three days following a wind event suggest that there wasan input of variance at wave numbers of the order 6 ? 103radians per meter. There was an associated increase in coherencysquared between chlorophyll and salinity. During this periodvertical structure in both chlorophyll and salinity was reestablished.It appears that horizontal structure was generated by the interactionof this vertical structure with a vertical shear in horizontalcurrents at semidiurnal and lower frequencies and possibly byshort period internal waves with frequencies near the V?is?l?frequency. 相似文献

Characteristics of the Wave of Depolarization Induced by Wounding in Bidens pilosa L. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Heating locally the hypocotyl of Bidens pilosa L. elicits awave of depolarization. The mechanism of the wave has been investigatedby means of microelectrophysiological techniques. The amplitudeof the transmembrane potential variation induced by an extracellularion concentration change (K+, Na+, Ca2+, Cl) was thesame in the resting conditions as during the slow wave. At pH4.0, the amplitude of the slow wave was reduced by 56% comparedwith the control performed at pH 7.0. In the presence of theuncoupler CCCP, the slow wave was not observed. The Ca2+ -chelatorEGTA and the Ca22+ -channel blocker La3+ reduced, respectively,the amplitude of the slow wave by 78% and 68%. These resultsindicate the involvement of Ca2+ in triggering the slow wave.A transient modification of the electrogenic H+ pump activity(inactivation-activation) and of the transmembrane H+ flux inthe slow wave are discussed.

Pacemaker potentials generated by interstitial cells of Cajal in the murine intestine 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Pacemaker potentials were recorded in situ from myenteric interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC-MY) in the murine small intestine. The nature of the two components of pacemaker potentials (upstroke and plateau) were investigated and compared with slow waves recorded from circular muscle cells. Pacemaker potentials and slow waves were not blocked by nifedipine (3 µM). In the presence of nifedipine, mibefradil, a voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel blocker, reduced the amplitude, frequency, and rate of rise of upstroke depolarization (dV/dtmax) of pacemaker potentials and slow waves in a dose-dependent manner (130 µM). Mibefradil (30 µM) changed the pattern of pacemaker potentials from rapidly rising, high-frequency events to slowly depolarizing, low-frequency events with considerable membrane noise (unitary potentials) between pacemaker potentials. Caffeine (3 mM) abolished pacemaker potentials in the presence of mibefradil. Pinacidil (10 µM), an ATP-sensitive K+ channel opener, hyperpolarized ICC-MY and increased the amplitude and dV/dtmax without affecting frequency. Pinacidil hyperpolarized smooth muscle cells and attenuated the amplitude and dV/dtmax of slow waves without affecting frequency. The effects of pinacidil were blocked by glibenclamide (10 µM). These data suggest that slow waves are electrotonic potentials driven by pacemaker potentials. The upstroke component of pacemaker potentials is due to activation of dihydropyridine-resistant Ca2+ channels, and this depolarization entrains pacemaker activity to create the plateau potential. The plateau potential may be due to summation of unitary potentials generated by individual or small groups of pacemaker units in ICC-MY. Entrainment of unitary potentials appears to depend on Ca2+ entry during upstroke depolarization. pacemaker activity; slow waves; gastrointestinal motility; calcium channel 相似文献

Ammonium release by nitrogen sufficient diatoms in response to rapid increases in irradiance 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Lomas Michael W.; Rumbley Christina J.; Glibert Patricia M. 《Journal of plankton research》2000,22(12):2351-2366
It has been hypothesized that nitrogen-replete diatoms, butnot flagellates, may release NO2, NH4+ or dissolved organicnitrogen (DON) following rapid increases in irradiance (andconsequently an increase in cellular electron energy), as mightbe expected to occur in a vertically well mixed estuarine system.Just as the increase in irradiance leads to an increase in cellularenergy, so too would a decrease in temperature, due to the temperaturedependency of biosynthetic enzymes. This hypothesis was testedby comparing the response of nitrogen-replete diatoms (Skeletomenacostatum, Thalassiosira weissflogii and Chaetoceros sp.) andflagellates (Dunaliella tertiolecta, Pavlova lutheri and Prorocentrumminimum) to rapid increases in irradiance and decreases in temperature.Short-term (<3 h) changes in extracellular NO2 andNH4+ concentrations were measured in cultures following theseexperimental shifts, as well as in cultures retained at thegrowth irradiance. Net rates of NO2 and NH4+ releasewere calculated from the time course of extracellular nitrogenconcentrations. As a fraction of NO3 uptake, NO2release rates under the increased irradiance increased marginallyrelative to NO2 release rates under the growth irradiance.Release rates of NH4+ under the increased irradiance increasednearly fivefold over release rates at the growth irradiance,and accounted for 84% of the NO3 uptake rate. In directcontrast to the diatom species, the flagellate species releasedNO2 under the higher experimental irradiance at ratesone half those of the release rates under the growth irradiance,and continued to take up NH4+ under both irradiance conditions.Within the experimental boundaries, these findings have importantphysiological and ecological implications. The magnitude ofthe observed nitrogen release represents a significant physiologicalsink for electrons and, in fact, calculations suggest that upto 62% of the total electrons harvested could be consumed. Froman ecological perspective, these findings add to the body ofliterature which suggests that a significant fraction of thenitrogen that is taken up is ultimately released in dissolvedform. More importantly, these data suggest that DON is not theonly compound that phytoplankton may release in the aquaticenvironment. 相似文献

We present a numerical model of nutrient uptake and photosynthesisduring migrations of the marine diatom Rhizosolenia that wasdeveloped to estimate fluxes of carbon and nitrogen due to thesemigrations in the open ocean. The predicted specific rate ofincrease of Rhizosolenia was 0.110.15 day1, whereas thetotal time for one migration cycle ranged between 3 and 5 days.Using published estimates of Rhizosolenia abundance, we estimatethat new primary production due to Rhizosolenia migrations rangesbetween 0.018 and 0.033 mmol N m2 day1. Thesevalues represent up to 17% of new production due to turbulentdiffusive fluxes of nitrate into the euphotic zone and are ofthe same order of magnitude as new production due to nitrogenfixation in tropical oceans. Large-scale contributions of Rhizosoleniato oceanic new production are limited by their relatively lowstanding crop. Variations in the formulation of losses withdepth greatly affected gross and net fluxes of carbon and nitrogen.Better characterization of losses of Rhizosolenia and improvedestimates of its abundance will help determine more accuratelythe contributions of Rhizosolenia to global biogeochemical cycles.

The parasitoid nanoflagellate (PNF) Pirsonia diadema is hostspecific for the marine centric diatom Coscinodiscus spp. Experimentsshowed that flagellates significantly prefer C. wailesii overC.granii as host species (interspecific selectivity). This preferencewas independent of light conditions (dark, irradiance of 10and 70 µmol m2 s1) and temperature (10 and15C). Among unicellular host diatoms, the infection behaviourwas selective for individual cells: already infected C.graniicells were more attractive for further flagellate attachmentthan non-infected cells (intraspecific selectivity).

The stomatal response of seedlings grown in 360 or 720 µmolmol1 to irradiance and leaf-to-air vapour pressure deficit(VPD) at both 360 and 720 µmol mol1 to CO2 wasmeasured to determine how environmental factors interact withCO2 enrichment to affect stomatal conductance. Seedlings offour species with different conductances and life histories,Cercis canadensis (L.), Quercus rubra (L.), Populus deltoides(Bartr. ex Marsh.) P. nigra (L.), and Pinus taeda (L.), weremeasured in hopes of identifying general responses. Conductanceof seedlings grown at 360 and 720 µmol mol1 CO2were similar and responded in the same manner to measurementCO2 concentration, irradiance and VPD. Conductance was lowerfor all species when measured at 720 than when measured at 360µmol mol1 CO2 at both VPDs ({small tilde}1.5 and{small tilde}2.5 kPa) and all measured irradiances greater thanzero (100, 300, 600,>1600 µmol m2 S2)The average decrease in conductance due to measurement in elevatedCO2 concentration was 32% for Cercis, 29% for Quercus, 26% forPopulus, and 11% for Pinus. For alt species, the absolute decreasein conductance due to measurement in CO2 enrichment decreasedas irradiance decreased or VPD increased. The proportional decreasedue to measurement in CO2 enrichment decreased in three of eightcases: from 0.46 to 0.10 in Populus and from 0.18 to 0.07 inPinus as irradiance decreased from>1600 to 100 µmolm2 s1 and from 0.35 to 0.24 in Cercis as VPD increasedfrom 1.3 to 2.6 kPa.

Oxygen- and carbon-14-based primary production estimates from916 h in vitro incubations were compared in lakes Huronand Michigan. For surface mixing layer compansons, gross O2/14Cphotosynthetic quotients (gross PQ) averaged 2.2, and net O2/14Cphotosynthetic quotients (net PQ) averaged 1.4. The mean grossPQ is consistent with a theoretical P0 based on the CO2 andNO3 assimilation ratio. However, within the deep chlorophylllayer, gross PQ and net PQ averaged 4.9 and 2.8 respectively.These higher values were likely due to excess NO3 reductionat the expense of CO2 uptake. Thus, during short experimentsunder low light conditions, oxygen evolution and CO2 uptakemay not be tightly coupled. In vitro and in situ O2 productionestimates were compared in four diurnal (dawn to dusk) experimentsin Lake Huron. In situ production estimates were determinedby measuring water-mass oxygen changes and oxygen transfer acrossthe air-water interface. In situ production estimates were approximatelytwice in vitro production estimates for both surface mixinglayer and deep chlorophyll layer comparisons. The differencebetween estimates was attributable to containment effects manifestin 1316 h bottle incubations. Short-term (12 h)in vitro production was also compared to diurnal in vitro production.Rates of short-term production were {small tilde}1.6 times higherthan rates of diurnal production, suggesting that short-termin vitro production experiments may provide reasonable estimatesof in situ primary production. 相似文献

Results are presented of size-fractionated primary productionstudies conducted in the vicinity of the Subtropical Front (STF),an adjacent warm-core eddy, and in Sub-antarctic waters duringthe third South African Antarctic Marine Ecosystem Study (SAAMESIII) in austral winter (June/July) 1993. Throughout the investigation,total chlorophyll (Chl a) biomass and production were dominatedby small nano- and picophytoplankton. No distinct patterns intotal Chl a were evident. At stations (n = 7) occupied in thevicinity of the STF, total integrated biomass values rangedfrom 31 to 53 mg Chl a m2. In the vicinity of the eddy,integrated biomass at the eddy edge (n = 3) ranged from 24 to54 mg Chl a m2 and from 32 to 43 mg Chl a m2 inthe eddy (n = 2). At the station occupied in the Sub-antarcticwaters, total integrated biomass was 43 mg Chl a m2.Total daily integrated production was highest at stations occupiedin the vicinity of the STF and at the eddy edge. Here, totalintegrated production ranged from 150 to 423 mg C m2day1 and from 244 to 326mg C m2 day1, respectively.In the eddy centre, total integrated production varied between134 and 156 mg C m2 day1. At the station occupiedin the Sub-antarctic waters, the lowest integrated production(141 mg C m2 day1) during the entire survey wasrecorded. Availability of macronutrients did not appear to limittotal production. However, the low silicate concentrations duringthe survey may account for the predominance of small nano- andpicophytoplankton. Differences in production rates between theeddy edge and eddy core were related to water column stability.In contrast, at stations occupied in the vicinity of the STF,the control of phytoplankton production appears to be relatedto several processes, including water column stability and,possibly, iron availability. 相似文献

We haveinvestigated control mechanisms involved in the propagation ofagonist-induced Ca2+ waves inisolated mouse pancreatic acinar cells. Using a confocal laser-scanningmicroscope, we were able to show that maximal stimulation of cells withacetylcholine (ACh, 500 nM) or bombesin (1 nM) caused an initialCa2+ release of comparable amountswith both agonists at the luminal cell pole. SubsequentCa2+ spreading to the basolateralmembrane was faster with ACh (17.3 ± 5.4 µm/s) than with bombesin(8.0 ± 2.2 µm/s). The speed of bombesin-inducedCa2+ waves could be increased upto the speed of ACh-induced Ca2+waves by inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC). Activation of PKCsignificantly decreased the speed of ACh-inducedCa2+ waves but had only littleeffect on bombesin-evoked Ca2+waves. Within 3 s after stimulation, production of inositol1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3]was higher in the presence of ACh compared with bombesin, whereasbombesin induced higher levels of diacylglycerol (DAG) than ACh. Thesedata suggest that the slower propagation speed of bombesin-inducedCa2+ waves is due to higheractivation of PKC in the presence of bombesin compared with ACh. Thehigher increase in bombesin- compared with ACh-induced DAG productionis probably due to activation of phospholipase D (PLD). Inhibition ofthe PLD-dependent DAG production by preincubation with 0.3% butanolled to an acceleration of the bombesin-induced Ca2+ wave. In further experiments,we could show that ruthenium red (100 µM), an inhibitor ofCa2+-inducedCa2+ release in skeletal muscle,also decreased the speed of ACh-induced Ca2+ waves. The effect ofruthenium red was not additive to the effect of PKC activation. Fromthe data, we conclude that, following Ins(1,4,5)P3-inducedCa2+ release in the luminal cellpole, secondary Ca2+ release fromstores, which are located in series between the luminal and the basalplasma membrane, modifies Ca2+spreading toward the basolateral cell side byCa2+-inducedCa2+ release. Activation of PKCleads to a reduction in Ca2+release from these stores and therefore could explain the slower propagation of Ca2+ waves in thepresence of bombesin compared with ACh. 相似文献

Potato production in the tropical lowlands during the rainyseason is constrained by high temperature and low irradiance.This study examined the effect of these two variables on drymatter production and allocation, using plant growth, leaf anatomy,gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence measurements. Plantsof two clones, Solanum goniocalyx cv. Garhuash Huayro (GH) andDTO-33, a heat tolerant clone of S. tuberosum x S. phureja,were grown in growth chambers at 33/25 °C or 20/10 °Cday/night temperature. At each temperature, plants were grownin either 12 h high irradiance (430450 µmol m2s1 PAR) or 12 h low irradiance (250280 µmolm2 s1) both with a 6h photoperiod extensionof 6 µmol m2 s1. Plants were harvested after10 d (initial harvest) and after 20 d (final harvest). By theend of the study DTO-33 had produced more dry matter and hadtuberized, whereas GH had a greater leaf area ratio (LAR) andspecific leaf area (SLA). The highest relative growth rate (RGR)was at low temperature and low irradiance, possibly due to acombination of thin leaves with a large surface area. At thehigh temperature, low irradiance had the opposite effect, producingthe lowest net assimilation rate (NAR) and lowest RGR. Bothtuber number and weight were markedly reduced by high temperature.Low irradiance, in combination with high temperature, producedvirtually no tubers. Stomatal density, which was greater onGH than in DTO-33, was increased at high temperature. When measuredat 30 °C both clones, especially DTO-33, showed heat-adaptationin terms of ability to maintain a high rate of net photosynthesisat 30 °C. Plants grown at high irr-adiance and low temperaturehad the lowest net photosynthetic rate at 30 °C. Concurrentmeasurements of chlorophyll fluorescence indicated that onlythe initial (O) fluorescence parameter was affected. The dataconfirm the field observation that reduction in potato growthat high temperature can be aggravated by lower irradiance. Thisreduction is associated with a reduced leaf area and NAR.

Size of the Chrysanthemum Shoot Apex in Relation to Inflorescence Initiation and Development 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The size of the apical dome of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.at the transition to inflorescence initiation in continuouslight (long days) was not systematically influenced by eitherthe temperature or the irradiance under which the plants weregrown. It was generally 0.26 mm in diameter and c. 3.6 x 103mm3 in volume when the first bract was initiated. The dimensionsof the apical dome of plants in short days were only slightlysmaller at this stage. Similarly, each step in the further developmentof the chrysanthemum inflorescence was associated with a narrowrange of apex sizes, indicating that inflorescence initiationand development are closely related to apex size.

Plant canopies can be considered as assemblages of leaves, stemsand fruits growing in zones of differing irradiance demarcatedby contours of mean irradiance as measured on a horizontal surface. The following general equations have been derived to calculatethe leaf area (LI) and the canopy volume (CVI) in zones externalto any chosen contour of mean irradiance: (1) LI = ((1nl)/(K)(ITf) or leaf area index (LAI) if this is less (2) CVI = LI/(leaf area density m2 m2), where I is the specified value of irradiance (horizontal surface)expressed as a decimal fraction of that above the canopy, Kis the appropriate extinction coefficient and Tf is the proportionof the total of available radiation which, if the canopy isdiscontinuous, would reach the ground by passing through gapsbetween the discrete canopy units. Where the canopy is continuousTf is zero so expression (1) simplifies to L1 = 1n I/K(or LAI if this is less). For a range of model hedgerow orchards of varying dimensions,spacings and LAIs, it has been shown that the use of these equationsgives very similar results to those obtained by detailed calculationof light penetration. They therefore seem to be of potentialuse in calculating both potential dry-matter production by discontinuouscanopies of any type and, in the case of orchard fruit crops,the potential effect of changes in tree size, leaf area density,spacing etc. on the canopy volume in which irradiation is adequatefor fruit bud initiation and fruit colour development. light distribution, discontinuous canopy, irradiance contours, leaf area index, orchards 相似文献

The photosynthetic responses of eight tree and shrub speciesto simulated sunflecks was measured in the field. The net carbonexchange (NCE) of Corylus avellana and Ulmus glabra increasedwith irradiance up to the maximum irradiance of 230 µmolm2 s1. The NCE of Fraxinux excelsior, Hedera helixand the sun and shade forms of Rhododendron ponticum saturatedat about 120 µmol m2 s1 whereas the NCEof Ilex aquifolium, Daphne laureola and Fagus sylvatica hadeffectively saturated at 27 µmol m2 s1. In all cases the quantum efficiency of NCE could be predictedfrom measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence and the maximumvalue for NCE from measurements of stomatal conductance. Therelationships were combined into a model for predicting NCE/irradiancecharacteristics.

Theoretical insights into the mechanism of spiral Ca2+ wave initiation in Xenopus oocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Spiral waves of intracellularCa2+ have often been observed inXenopus oocytes. Such waves can beaccounted for by most realistic models forCa2+ oscillations taking diffusionof cytosolic Ca2+ into account,but their initiation requires rather demanding and unphysiologicalinitial conditions. Here, it is shown by means of numerical simulationsthat these spiral Ca2+ wavesnaturally arise if the cytoplasm is assumed to be heterogeneous both atthe level of the synthesis and metabolism ofD-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate[Ins(1,4,5)P3]and at the level of the distribution of theIns(1,4,5)P3receptors. In such conditions, a spiral can be initiated in thesimulations after an increase inIns(1,4,5)P3 concentration, with the direction of rotation being determined by theposition of the region of high receptor density with respect to thelocus ofIns(1,4,5)P3production. 相似文献

Triticum aestivumxZea mayscrosses are now widely used in theproduction of wheat doubled haploids to produce homozygous lines.Seasonal effects are known to influence the number of haploidembryos produced through wheatxmaize crosses, but the effectsof temperature and light have not been quantified. This studyinvestigated the effect of temperature and light intensity onhaploid embryo production. New Zealand wheat cultivars weregrown in a glasshouse until booting when they were transferredto growth cabinets at three temperatures (day/night; 17/12,22/17 or 27/22 °C at an irradiance of 250 µmol m-2s-1PAR).In another experiment, wheat lines were transferred to a growthcabinet at one of three light intensities (300, 500 or 1000µmol m-2s-1PAR at 22/17 °C day/night, with a photoperiodof 16 h). The temperature and light intensity at which pollinationswere made and subsequent fertilisation and embryo developmentoccurred, significantly (P<0.01) influenced the frequencyof haploid embryo production. The optimal temperature for embryorecovery was 22/17 °C. The greatest number of embryos wasproduced at a light intensity of 1000 µmol m-2s-1. Thesefindings will result in improvements in the overall efficiencyof the wheatxmaize system for wheat doubled haploid production.Copyright1998 Annals of Botany Company Intergeneric crossing, temperature, light intensity,Triticum aestivum,wheat,Zea mays,maize. 相似文献
