竹叶眼子菜种子的萌发实验研究

竹叶眼子菜(Potamogeton malaianus)是长江中下游湖泊沉水植被中的优势种,在野外条件下主要依靠断枝繁殖,很少发现它的实生苗。在实验条件下对竹叶眼子菜进行了种子萌发研究,探讨了萌发基质、温度和光暗周期以及冷藏时间对种子萌发的影响。结果表明,干藏3个月后未处理种皮的种子发芽率极低,撕破种皮后显著地提高了种子发芽率。在水基质条件下,25℃最适宜竹叶眼子菜的萌发,光暗周期对种子发芽率有显著影响。冷藏6个月的种子发芽率最高,8个月时发芽率显著降低,表明竹叶眼子菜的种子不耐贮藏。还讨论了竹叶眼子菜种子休眠与萌发机制的生态学意义。     

不同水体条件和基质类型对苦草(Vallisneria spiralis L.)种子萌发的影响

研究了不同水体条件和基质类型对苦草(Vallisneria spiralis L.)种子萌发的影响,探讨富营养化水体中苦草种子的萌发策略。结果表明:在自然温度和光照条件下,苦草种子的萌发率为40%~69%,在不同水体条件下没有显著差异;相比自来水和贡湖水,苦草种子在太湖水中有更高的累积萌发率和最终萌发率、更快的萌发速率和更短的平均萌发时间。基质类型对苦草种子萌发有显著的影响,黄土中种子萌发情况最好,河沙中萌发情况最差;在黄土基质中,苦草种子最终萌发率比河沙基质中高约20%,萌发速率是河沙基质的2倍,且平均萌发时间比河沙基质短14 d。不同萌发介质条件下,苦草种子在水中的萌发率(64%)显著高于基质(50%),而萌发效率却显著低于后者(萌发速率低5%,平均萌发时间多11 d)。研究结果为富营养化湖泊中利用苦草种子育苗进行植被生态修复提供了理论依据。     

Testing the potential seed availability in dung samples: comparison of two seedling emergence methods

To optimize the estimation of species composition and viable seed content of herbivore faeces and to make different approaches comparable, two seedling emergence methods are evaluated. The Ter Heerdt method (TH) employs concentrated samples, potentially increasing and accelerating seedling emergence, as shown for soil samples (95% of all seedlings emerged within 6 weeks). Samples are kept under controlled conditions (glasshouse or climate room). Secondly, a common garden method (CG) using unconcentrated samples so that seasonal changes could fulfill the germination requirements of a broad species spectrum (experiment duration approximately 15 months) was applied. The methods were tested by the use of sheep faeces samples, collected during a six-day grazing period in a threatened dry grassland (Allio-Stipetum capillatae).Both methods proved largely similar in species composition (QS=0.81) and viable seed content (QS=0.69). More species (e.g. monocotyls) and a higher seedling emergence of hard-seeded species (Fabaceae and Cistaceae) were found in the CG method. Besides a higher emergence of some small-seeded winter annuals, few other species emerged exclusively by use of the TH method. Nevertheless, all species detected by only one method were found in low individual numbers (4).Depending on research interest and availability of space and time, the most appropriate method can be chosen. If the main focus is on the species composition, unconcentrated faeces samples can be studied by CG. In case the overall viable seed content is more important and/or a shorter time period is available, TH serves as a suitable alternative.     

The effect of water supply on seed-bank analysis using the seedling-emergence method

1. When using the seedling-emergence method to analyse a soil seed bank the greenhouse conditions should match the germination requirements of the species involved. Although the seedling-emergence method is common practice in ecological studies, the germination characteristics of many species are not known, or are only partly known.
2. Before carrying out a large-scale seed-bank study in a wet dune slack, we tested the water requirements of the species in the seed bank, comparing a waterlogged soil with a moist soil. Four species germinated in significantly larger numbers in a waterlogged soil, seven species in a moist soil and 11 species showed no significant difference. When a species was present in low densities, it was often missed using the less appropriate treatment.
3. These results emphasize the need for a preliminary study before carrying out a seed-bank analysis and show the danger of using a 'standard' method to analyse soil samples from different habitats.

Seed germination behavior of five Resedaceae species from arid Arabian desert: gibberellic acid and light effects

Abstract

Light and growth-promoting compounds, such as gibberellic acids (GA₃), are among the most important factors that can break physiological seed dormancy. Here, we investigate the effects of GA₃ and light on germination of five species of Resedaceae that are known to have different levels of physiological dormancy. Seeds were incubated at 20/30?°C in both 12-hr photoperiod and complete darkness. To study the effect of growth hormone on germination, seeds were soaked for 24?h in different concentrations of GA₃ before sowing. The annuals (Reseda aucheri and Oligomeris linifolia) and the perennial Ochradenus arabicus had deep physiological dormancy, and exogenous application of GA₃ enhanced their germination in the light, but not in darkness; few or no seeds germinated in the dark in these species. Ochradenus aucheri and O. baccatus had intermediate and non-deep dormancy, respectively, and application of GA₃ enhanced their germination in both light and darkness. Germination of the annual species was much slower than that of the shrubby perennials. Overall, these results indicate that conditions under which seed developed, matured and stored on maternal plants as well as incubation conditions should be taken into consideration when assessing germination behavior of the perennial species of Resedaceae.

Seed reserve composition in 19 tree species of a tropical deciduous forest in Mexico and its relationship to seed germination and seedling growth

Background and Aims

The size and composition of seed reserves may reflect the ecological strategy and evolutionary history of a species and also temporal variation in resource availability. The seed mass and composition of seed reserves of 19 co-existing tree species were studied, and we examined how they varied among species in relation to germination and seedling growth rates, as well as between two years with contrasting precipitation (652 and 384 mm).

Methods

Seeds were collected from a tropical deciduous forest in the northwest of Mexico (Chamela Biological Station). The seed dry mass, with and without the seed coat, and the concentrations of lipids, nitrogen and non-structural carbohydrates for the seed minus seed coat were determined. The anatomical localization of these reserves was examined using histochemical analysis. The germination capacity, rate and lag time were determined. The correlations among these variables, and their relationship to previously reported seedling relative growth rates, were evaluated with and without phylogenetic consideration.

Key Results

There were interannual differences in seed mass and reserve composition. Seed was significantly heavier after the drier year in five species. Nitrogen concentration was positively correlated with seed coat fraction, and was significantly higher after the drier year in 12 species. The rate and lag time of germination were negatively correlated with each other. These trait correlations were also supported for phylogenetic independent contrasts. Principal component analysis supported these correlations, and indicated a negative association of seedling relative growth rate with seed size, and a positive association of germination rate with nitrogen and lipid concentrations.

Conclusions

Nitrogen concentration tended to be higher after the drier year and, while interannual variations in seed size and reserve composition were not sufficient to affect interspecific correlations among seed and seedling traits, some of the reserves were related to germination variables and seedling relative growth rate.     

Dormancy and germination responses of halophyte seeds to the application of ethylene

Ethylene is invariably produced during seed germination but its role in regulating seed dormancy and germination is poorly understood. Seeds of 22 halophytic species having different life forms – salt secreting dicots, salt secreting monocots, stem succulents and leaf succulents were germinated in Petri dishes kept in a growth chamber set at 20/30 °C (night/day) temperature and a 12 hr light period. Sodium chloride and ethephon were added to the medium from the beginning of the experiment. Seed germination was recorded every other day for twenty days. Application of ethylene did not have any significant effect on releasing seeds from innate dormancy. However, it appeared to have a role in alleviation of salinity effects which varied from negative in certain species to almost complete alleviation of high salinity effects in others.Our data indicates that ethylene appears to have little role in breaking innate seed dormancy however, in most halophyte seeds studied, application of ethylene alleviate the salinity effect to various degrees. Halophyte seeds which could germinate under saline conditions approaching twice the salinity of seawater may offer clues to understand management of seed germination under highly saline conditions.

滇南红厚壳种子的脱水敏感性及其影响萌发的因子

滇南红厚壳(Colophyllum polyanthum Wall.ex Choisy)种子的千粒重约为4700g,脱落时种子的含水量为45％(鲜重),其存活率对脱水高度敏感;当种子含水量降至30％以下时,存活率迅速下降;种子存活率的半致死含水量约为23％;可以认为它是一种典型的顽拗性种子。含水量为45％的种子,在20--30℃的范围内,随着温度的升高种子萌发50％所需要的时间缩短;高于和低于这个温度范围(如15℃,30℃),种子的萌发率均下降;变温处理有利于提高种子的萌发率和萌发速率。除去种皮和切除部分子叶能提高种子的萌发率、萌发速率,以及种子萌发后的早期幼苗生长量。光照明显地促进整粒种子的萌发,但对除去种皮的种子、具有1／2子叶的种子、以及胚轴的萌发没有影响。
