微齿眼子菜(Potamogeton maackianus A.Benn.)茎段的无性繁殖特点研究

匍匐茎型的沉水植物微齿眼子菜(Potam ogeton maackianusA.Benn.)在自然生境中的繁殖方式主要是无性繁殖,彼此相连的分株通常受到水流、草食性鱼类和人为干扰的影响导致分离或者枝条片断化,片断化的枝条在新的生境中再生进行繁殖。实验模拟微齿眼子菜枝条的片断化来验证假设:微齿眼子菜直立茎段与匍匐茎段的无性繁殖能力是否一致,茎段可能有一个最小长度来保证它的存活,并且茎段着泥的方向也会影响它的成活率。实验结果表明:直立茎段与匍匐茎段的成活率、生物量有显著差异,而且茎段的长度显著影响它们的成活率、生物量,而直立茎段与匍匐茎段克隆株的每株分枝数没有显著差异;直立茎段比匍匐茎段更易成株成活,茎段的长度越长,成活率越高,具有3个节间的茎段成活率接近100%;同时茎段着泥的方向显著影响茎段成活率、所产生抽条的株高以及可产生抽条的节数,对总生物量没有显著影响,而对根的生物量有显著影响;茎段正向着泥有利于它们的成活率、定植能力提高。     

水深梯度对竹叶眼子菜生长和繁殖的影响

研究结果表明,水深决定了其生长区内竹叶眼子菜茎的长度,竹叶眼子菜茎叶比与水深有显著相关工：Ｙ＝０．００５１７Ｘ＋０．３１２６;竹叶眼子菜地上与地下部分生物量分配与水深没有相关性;沿着水深梯度,竹叶眼子菜的抽条数（无性繁殖）和花序数呈递减趋势。     

微齿眼子菜繁殖生物学特性的初步研究

微齿眼子菜以风媒传粉为主,具有明显的雌蕊先熟性,显示出明显的异交特性;同时其雌雄可育期部分重叠,被片、花药和柱头三者的空间布局使其极利于自花受粉,暗示了自交存在的可能性.花粉保持萌发活力的时间短(约20h)及萌发率低(＜10%)可能是导致其自然结实率(20.16%)低的主要原因.自交作为衍生性状在其有性生殖中占有相当的比例,繁育系统属于兼性的交配类型,并有向自交演化的趋势.有性生殖分配与其营养体生物量呈显著正相关,异质性程度不同的生境中,微齿眼子菜表现出不同的繁殖对策,在稳定生境中以克隆生长为主,在变动生境中有性生殖率则有所增加,存在着有性生殖与无性繁殖之间的平衡.     

5种沉水植物无性繁殖和定居能力的比较研究

 竹叶眼子菜(Potamogeton malaianus)、微齿眼子菜(Potamogeton maackianus)、苦草(Vallisneria spiralis)、穗花狐尾藻(Myriophyllum spicatum)、黑藻(Hydrilla verticillata)是长江中下游湖泊主要的沉水植物。在栽培条件下,它们的无性繁殖速率(单位时间内新增个体数)大小顺序为黑藻>微齿眼子菜>竹叶眼子菜>苦草>穗花狐尾藻。同时采用抛掷实验的方法观察研究了这5种沉水植物及其无性繁殖体的存活和生根情况;完整植株存活率为黑藻>穗花狐尾藻>微齿眼子菜>竹叶眼子菜>苦草,无性繁殖体部分存活率为黑藻>苦草>穗花狐尾藻>微齿眼子菜>竹叶眼子菜。生根能力和其存活时间长短相关,而且生根能力与存活率大小基本一致。在实验中,只有穗花狐尾藻的断枝存活率和生根能力存在差异,故无性繁殖体生根能力为黑藻>苦草>微齿眼子菜>竹叶眼子菜>穗花狐尾藻。     

蓖齿眼子菜繁殖多样性研究

 繁殖是影响水生植物生存竞争、分布以及群落结构动态变化的关键因素。通过野外观察和室内试验,较详细地介绍了蓖齿眼子菜(Potamogeton pectinatus)的繁殖策略。研究结果表明:蓖齿眼子菜有性繁殖中具有水表和水下气泡两种传粉方式;种子发生量较大,但种子发芽率低,不到6%,种子繁殖对种群恢复贡献不大,其主要作用在于远程传播和保持持久的种子库。蓖齿眼子菜具有广泛而高效的无性繁殖系统,可以通过断株、根状茎、地上块茎、地下块茎、地上茎节以及叶腋基部进行繁殖,其中最重要的是地下块茎和根状茎,次年种群恢复主要来自于地下块茎和根状茎。此外,对采用蓖齿眼子菜进行沉水植被恢复与重建提出了建议。

为研究洱海底泥特性对沉水植物生长的影响,采用不同比例洱海底泥与湖岸土壤掺混形成五种基质,并分别移栽苦草、黑藻、微齿眼子菜、马来眼子菜、光叶眼子菜、穿叶眼子菜和狐尾藻,进行为期70d的室外生长实验,结果表明不同基质对几种植物的影响具种间差异。（1）在基质为50%深层底泥+50%湖岸土壤（碳、氮、磷含量分别为31.59、0.334和0.095 mg/g）时,苦草、马来眼子菜和光叶眼子菜的株高最大;基质为100%深层底泥（碳、氮、磷含量分别为37.88、0.803和0.149 mg/g）时,黑藻、微齿眼子菜、穿叶眼子菜和狐尾藻的株高最大;（2）基质为100%深层底泥时,苦草、黑藻、微齿眼子菜、马来眼子菜和光叶眼子菜生物量增加最多且相对生长速率最大;基质为100%浅层底泥（碳、氮、磷含量分别为77.37、5.691和0.136 mg/g）时,穿叶眼子菜生物量增加最多,相对生长速率最大;狐尾藻在基质为50%浅层底泥+50%深层底泥（碳、氮、磷含量分别为49.27、2.005和0.131 mg/g）时生物量增加最多,相对生长速率最大;（3）基质为100%湖岸土壤（碳、氮、磷含量分别为22.06、0.327和0.231 mg/g）时,7种沉水植物均生长缓慢,生物量增加较少。综上所述,中营养底泥（碳、氮、磷含量分别为31.59-49.27、0.334-2.005和0.095-0.131 mg/g）更适合沉水植物生长,底泥中过高或过低营养都不利于沉水植物生长。     

水葫芦苗(Halerpestes cymbalaris)的生长特征研究

以调查统计的方法在中国科学院海北定位站研究了高寒湿地植物水葫芦苗无性系的生长特征、形态特征以及能量分配规律。结果表明：匍匐茎只有1条的水葫芦苗最多,占35．29％,匍匐茎有4条的水葫芦苗只占8．82％。同一水葫芦苗无性系中,随着匍匐茎数目的增多,分株数、间隔子数、茎总长和匍匐茎比节问重变小。分株一般在第一级最高,末级较低;第1条匍匐茎的间隔子较长。随水葫芦苗匍匐茎数目的增多,用于无性繁殖的分株干重比例逐渐增加,用于有性繁殖的花的干重比例下降。水葫芦苗无性系这种生长特征、形态特征以及能量分配规律是其生物—生态学特性和所处高寒湿地生境共同决定的。     

切断匍匐茎对沙地柏子株生长和资源利用效率的影响

沙地柏 (Sabina vulgaris)系毛乌素沙地唯一的天然常绿沙生灌木 ,也是一种有代表性的克隆植物 ,对沙地环境具有很强适应性。为了研究不定根对沙地柏生长和资源获得的重要性 ,通过切断匍匐茎 ,以分析模拟干扰对沙地柏子株存活、生长、生物量分配、气体交换和资源利用效率的影响。结果表明 :1)切断匍匐茎对沙地柏子株存活率无明显影响 ,这表明已定居的子株能够独立存活 ;2 )切断匍匐茎对当年生枝生长和生物量分配的影响受模拟干扰和环境水分状况的双重制约 ,流动沙地上比茎长随干扰强度的增加而显著增大 ,这有利于子株寻找到优越的微环境 ;3)固定沙地上 ,切断匍匐茎对当年生枝气体交换和资源利用效率的影响均不显著 ,而显著影响生物量分配 ,这种格局表明切断匍匐茎对沙地柏子株的影响可能具有层次性 ;4)气孔导度减小、资源利用效率提高可能是沙地柏子株对强度干扰的一种生理适应。     

水体无机碳条件对常见沉水植物生长和生理的影响

为了解水华引起的水体无机碳变化对沉水植物生长的影响,对8种沉水植物:金鱼藻、穗花狐尾藻、篦齿眼子菜、光叶眼子菜、微齿眼子菜、伊乐藻、菹草和黑藻在不同无机碳浓度下的生物量、株高、叶绿素以及光合和呼吸速率进行了比较研究.结果表明8种沉水植物均能利用HCO3-作为光合无机碳源,在1.5 mmoL/L外源HCO3-浓度下能促进金鱼藻、菹草和伊乐藻的生长,提高其光合速率;在2.5 mmol/L外源HCO3-浓度下能促进狐尾藻、光叶眼子菜、黑藻、微齿眼子菜和蓖齿眼子菜的生长,提高其光合速率.在CO32-为优势碳源时,8种沉水植物表现出不同的适应性,发现微齿眼子菜、篦齿眼子菜和黑藻在整个实验范围内生长未受抑制,且在不同浓度下表现生长和光合速率的促进,说明这三种沉水植物对[HCO3-]/[CO32-]比值和pH具有较广适应范围.而当CO32-成为优势碳源时,金鱼藻和伊乐藻的生长受到抑制,狐尾藻、菹草和光叶眼子菜均死亡,表明[HCO3-]/[CO32-]比值和pH是这5种沉水植物生长的重要限制因子.     

洪湖主要沉水植物群落的定量分析 Ⅳ.穗花狐尾藻+微齿眼子菜+金鱼藻群落

穗花狐尾藻+微齿眼子菜+金鱼藻群落是洪湖沉水植被的一种重要群落类型,种类组成比较复杂,受干扰程度相对较低,各组成种类数量特征的变化基本上反映了各自的生活史特征.不同季节穗花狐尾藻、金鱼藻和微齿眼子菜的优势地位转换构成了该群落的重要特征.群落的生物量峰值在夏季出现,约为940gm-1(干重).群落水平结构比较均一,重直结构主要取决于优势种生物量的空间分布.群聚分布是各组成种的主要分布方式.分析结果表明,群落中各个种之间在分布上一般不表现出显著的联结关系,尽管在生物量分布上会出现一些重叠.穗花狐尾藻和微齿眼子菜在夏季表现出来的联结关系与绞草活动的影响紧密相关,也在一定程度上反映了取样面积的影响.       

慈竹母株大小对克隆生长的影响

 克隆生长在慈竹种群更新中占有重要地位。本文以基径和生物量两个指标同时衡量慈竹(Neosinocalamus affinis)的母株大小,并分析了母株大小对新竹笋产生、竹笋大小和根茎大小的影响。结果表明：1）慈竹的成竹基径与一级母株基径、二级母株基径以及与2龄和3龄母株平均单株生物量呈正相关,但是成竹基径随一级母株基径增加比随二级母株基径增加而增加的速率快得多;2）慈竹母株大小与各样方中出笋数、活笋数和死笋数无显著的正相关;3）发笋母株的基径显著大于未发笋母株,但发一个笋母株与发两个以上笋母株的基径无显著差异;4）母株基径、2龄和3龄母株平均单株生物量都与根茎的长度和粗度呈显著正相关,且竹笋基径与根茎粗度也呈显著的正相关。母株大小对慈竹竹笋的影响是通过影响根茎实现的。总之,慈竹的克隆生长在个体水平受母株大小制约。     

Demography and modelling of clonal fragments in the pseudoannual plant shape Trientalis europaea L.

The clonal growth pattern and demography of clonal fragments (aggregation of ramets derived from a common parent ramet) in the pseudoannual plant Trientalis europaea were studied in field conditions from 1991 to 1993. During this period the population of clonal fragments declined, with a half-life of 7.4 years. Number and size of the clonal progeny and stolon length were positively related to the size of the mother ramet. Survival rates of ramets and tubers increased with size. The rate of clonal growth was low: after three years, about 70% of the clonal fragments had only one ramet. This suggests that the pseudoannual growth habit in T. europaea is more important as mechanism of perennation than of ramet multiplication.Field data were used in a simulation model of architecture and population dynamics of clonal fragments. About 10% of the clonal fragments survived to the end of the simulation (15 years) and the mean survival was 4.7 years. The model predicted a positive correlation between persistence of the clonal fragment and number of ramets produced. Sensitivity analysis showed that the production of a daughter ramet of at least the same size as the parent ramet was the most important pathway for the survival and the number of ramets of the clonal fragment, whereas the production of secondary ramets had a very small effect. This confirms the interpretation of the pseudoannual life-cycle as a mechanism of ramet replacement in this species. Sensitivity analysis also revealed that changes in survival probabilities of the smallest ramets had the largest impact on clonal fragment dynamics. This reflects the important role of the smallest size class of ramets as a source of new vegetative propagules, maintaining a hierarchy in the size structure of the population.     

两种践踏胁迫下克隆整合对入侵植物空心莲子草生长的影响

研究了两种践踏胁迫下克隆整合对入侵植物空心莲子草生长的影响.结果表明:(1)切断分株间的匍匐茎连接,会降低先端分株的生物量、分株数、总匍匐茎长度和总叶片数,但会显著增强基端分株的生物量.(2)对先端分株的践踏胁迫会显著降低先端分株叶片的叶绿素相对含量,对基端分株的践踏胁迫会显著降低基端分株的生物量和总匍匐茎长度.(3)对于基端分株的分株数、总匍匐茎长度和总叶片数来说,当进行基端分株践踏胁迫时,匍匐茎连接对其影响不大,而当进行先端分株践踏胁迫时,则明显对其不利.(4)对于整个克隆片段,践踏胁迫的差异和匍匐茎是否切断对其生长没有显著影响.     

Clonal plasticity in response to rhizome severing and heterogeneous resource supply in the rhizomatous grass Psammochloa villosa in an Inner Mongolian dune, China

In a field experiment, Psammochloa villosa plants were subjected to rhizome severing. Severing rhizomes reduced growth in the young, detached rhizome segments compared to the controls in terms of all measured clonal growth-related characters, i.e. number of rhizomes and shoots, total rhizome length and total number of rhizome nodes. In a container experiment, the control ramets received uniform water and nutrient supply but in heterogeneous treatments high and low levels of water and nutrient supply, respectively were established. The number of ramets, total rhizome length, dry weight per ramet and biomass allocation to the rhizome had higher values at high water and nutrient supply, while spacer length (length of rhizome between shoots) and rhizome internode length were not affected. The local response of ramets given low water supply was enhanced due to connection to a well watered parent ramet in terms of number of ramets, total rhizome length and dry weight per ramet. A remote effect was not observed in the other treatments or in the other measured characters.     

Differential effects of water depth and sediment type on clonal growth of the submersed macrophyte <Emphasis Type="Italic">Vallisneria natans</Emphasis>

The response of clonal growth and ramet morphology to water depth (from 60 to 260 cm) and sediment type (sand versus organic clay) was investigated for the stoloniferous submersed macrophyte Vallisneria natans in an outdoor pond experiment. Results showed that water depth significantly affected clonal growth of V. natans in terms of clone weight, number of ramets, number of generations, clonal radius and stolon length. V. natans showed an optimal clonal growth at water depths of 110–160 cm, but at greater depths clonal growth was severely retarded. A high allometric effect was exhibited in ramet morphology. Along the sequentially produced ramet generations, ramet weight and plant height decreased while stolon length and the root:leaf weight ratio increased. When using ramet generations as covariate, sediment type rather than water depth more strongly affected the ramet characteristics. For plants grown in clay, ramet weight, ramet height and stolon length were greater, and plants exhibited lower root:leaf weight ratio. These data suggest that water depth and sediment type have differential effects on clonal growth of V. natans: Water depth appears primarily to affect numerical increase in ramets and spatial spread, whereas sediment type mainly affects biomass accumulation and biomass allocation.

How internode length,position and presence of leaves affect survival and growth of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Alternanthera philoxeroides</Emphasis> after fragmentation?

Disturbance is common in nature and disturbance-caused fragmentation of clones happens frequently in stoloniferous plants. After fragmentation storage in stolon internodes and leaves may enhance survival and growth of stoloniferous plants. We hypothesize that (1) increasing length of the internode attached to the ramet and (2) presence of leaves will increase ramet survival and growth, and that (3) internode positions (before or after the ramet or both) will also play a role. We tested these hypotheses with the stoloniferous, invasive herb Alternanthera philoxeroides. In one experiment, we measured survival and growth of the ramets either without stolon internode (0 cm in length) or attached with internodes of 2, 4, 6 and 8 cm and either with or without leaves. In the other experiment, we measured survival and growth of the ramets attached with a proximal internode (before the ramet), a distal internode (after the ramet) or both. Increasing internode length and presence of leaves significantly increased the survival rate and growth (biomass, leaf area, number of ramets, stolon length and number of leaves) of the A. philoxeroides plants. All growth measures of A. philoxeroides at harvest were larger when the ramets were attached with a distal internode than when they were attached with a proximal internode, but the survival rate was lower. These results support the hypotheses and suggest that storage in stolons and leaves may be of great significance for clonal plants in frequently disturbed habitats and may contribute greatly to the invasiveness of A. philoxeroides.

Growth of coyote willow and the attack and survival of a mid-rib galling sawfly,Euura sp.

We studied the relationship between variation in age and shoot characteristics of the host plant Salix exigua Nuttall (coyote or sandbar willow) and the attack and survival of Euura sp. (an unnamed leaf-midrib galling sawfly). Variation in shoot characteristics resulted from reduced growth as willow ramets aged. Mean shoot length per ramet and mean longest leaf length per shoot decreased by 95% and 50% respectively between 1- and 9-year-old willow ramets. All measured shoot characteristics-shoot length, longest leaf length, number of leaves per shoot, and mean internode length-were significantly negatively correlated with ramet age (r ² ranged from –0.23 to –0.41). Correlations between shoot characteristics were highly positive, indicating that plants also grew in a strongly integrated fashion (r ² ranged from 0.54 to 0.85). Four hypotheses were examined to explain sawfly attack patterns. The host-plant hypothesis was supported in explaining enhanced larval sawfly survival through reduced plant resistance. As willow ramets aged, the probability of Euura sp. attack decreased over 10-fold, from 0.315 on 1-year-old ramets to 0.024 on 2- to 9-year-old ramets. As shoot length increased, the probability of sawfly attack increased over 100-fold, from 0.007 on shoots <100 mm, to 0.800 on shoots in the 1001–1100 mm shoot length class. These attack patterns occurred even though 1-year-old ramets and shoots >500 mm each represented less than 2% of the total shoots available for oviposition. Host plant induced mortality of the egg/early instar stage decreased by 50% on longer leaves and was the most important factor determining survival differences between vigorous and non-vigorous hosts. Sawfly attack was not determined by the resource distribution hypothesis. Although shoots <200 mm contained 82% of the total leaves available, they contained only 43% of the galls initiated. The attack pattern also was not explained by the gall volume hypothesis. Although gall volume increased on longer shoots, there was no significant variation in mid or late instar mortality over shoot length, as would be expected if food resources within smaller galls were limited. The natural enemy attack hypothesis could not explain the pattern of oviposition since predation was greater on longer shoots and leaves. In addition, larval survival was related to oviposition behavior. Due to a 69% reduction in late instar death and an 83% reduction in parasitism, survival of progeny in galls initiated close to the petiole base was 2.8 times greater than in galls initiated near the leaf tip. A 75% reduction in gall volume over this range of gall positions may account for the observed increases in late instar mortality and parasitism.
