In Mediterranean regions drought is the major factor limiting spring barley and durum wheat grain yields. This study aimed to compare spring barley and durum wheat root and shoot responses to drought and quantify relationships between root traits and water uptake under terminal drought.One spring barley(Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Rum) and two durum wheat Mediterranean cultivars(Triticum turgidum L. var durum cvs Hourani and Karim) were examined in soil‐column experiments under well watered and drought conditions. Root system architecture traits, water uptake, and plant growth were measured. Barley aerial biomass and grain yields were higher than for durum wheat cultivars in well watered conditions. Drought decreased grain yield more for barley(47%) than durum wheat(30%, Hourani). Root‐to‐shoot dry matter ratio increased for durum wheat under drought but not for barley, and root weight increased for wheat in response todrought but decreased for barley. The critical root length density(RLD) and root volume density(RVD) for 90% available water capture for wheat were similar to(cv. Hourani) or lower than(cv. Karim) for barley depending on wheat cultivar. For both species, RVD accounted for a slightly higher proportion of phenotypic variation in water uptake under drought than RLD.  相似文献

Root density distribution of plants is a major Indicator of competition between plants and determines resource capture from the solh This experiment was conducted in 2005 at Anyang, located in the Yellow River region, Henan Province, China. Three cotton (Gossyplum hlrsutum L.) cultivars were chosen: hybrid Btcultlvar CRI46, conventional Btcultlvars CRI44 and CRI45. Six planting densities were designed, ranging from 1.5 to 12.0 plants/m^2. Root parameters such as surface area, diameter and length were analyzed by using the DT-SCAN Image analysis method. The root length density (RLD), root average diameter and root area Index (RAI), root surface area per unit land area, were studied. The results showed that RLD and RAI differed between genotypes; hybrid CRI46 had significantly higher (P 〈0.05) RLD and RAI values than conventlonal cultlvars, especially under low planting densities, less than 3.0 plants/m^2. The root area index (RAI) of hybrid CRI46 was 61% higher than of CRI44 and CRI45 at the flowering stage. The RLD and RAI were also significantly different (P = 0.000) between planting densities. The depth distribution of RAI showed that at Increasing planting densities RAI was Increasingly distributed in the soil layers below 50 cm. The RAI of hybrid CRI46 was for all planting densities, obviously higher than other cultivars during the flowering and boll stages. It was concluded that the hybrid had a strong advantage in root maintenance preventing premature senescence of roots. The root diameter of hybrid CRI46 had a genetically higher root diameter at planting densities lower than 6.0 plants/m^2. Good associations were found between yield and RAI In different stages. The optimum planting density ranged from 4.50 plants/m^2 to 6.75 plants/m^2 for conventional cultlvars and around 4.0-5.0 plants/m^2 for hybrids.  相似文献

Although the auger method has been reported to be simple and superior to other methods of determination of roots, a standard procedure of determining roots with the same is lacking. In a bid to standardize the auger method for studying wheat root distribution; we sampled roots with 5, 7.5 and 10 cm ID augers on the row and midway between rows down to 180 cm. The suitability of a sampling scheme was adjudged from bias between observed and actual root length densities (RLD). The actual density in a layer was obtained by integrating the equation fitted to the average of root density data horizontally between 0 and 11 cm, because for 22 cm apart rows of wheat the representative half of the unit soil strip was 11 cm from the row; and assumed actual RLD was the average of horizontal distribution of RLD in a particular layer. Single site sampling on the row or between rows gave the maximum bias. Average of two sites viz. on the row and midway between rows with 10 cm ID auger and 7.5 cm ID auger or at three sites with 5 cm ID auger (additional site midway between the earlier two) gave the best estimates in that order.  相似文献

Information on root distribution and uptake patterns is useful to better understand crop responses to irrigation and fertigation, especially with the limited wetted soil volumes which develop under drip irrigation. Plant water uptake patterns play an important role in the success of drip irrigation system design and management. Here the root systems of corn were characterized by their length density (RLD) and root water uptake (RWU). Comparisons were made between the spatial patterns of corn RWU and RLD under surface and subsurface drip irrigation in a silt loam soil, considering a drip line on a crop row and between crop rows. Water uptake distribution was measured with an array of TDR probes at high spatial and temporal resolution. Root length density was measured by sampling soil cores on a grid centered on crop row. Roots were separated and an estimation of root geometrical attributes was made using two different image analysis programs. Comparisons of these programs yielded nearly identical estimates of RLD. The spatial patterns of RWU and RLD distributions, respectively normalized to the total uptake and root length, were generally similar only for drip line on a crop row, but with some local variations between the two measures. Both RLD and RWU were adequately fitted with parametric models based on semi-lognormal and normal Gaussian bivariate density functions (Coelho and Or, 1996; Soil Sci. Soc. Am. J. 60, 1039–1049).  相似文献

The effects of preplant phosphorus fertilization on fine root (2 mm) distribution were examined in an 11-year-old stand of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) located on the lower Coastal Plain of North Carolina. Root auger cores were collected from the planting bed and interbed areas from two depths (0–10 and 10–20 cm) from fertilized (45 kg P ha–1 at time of planting) and nonfertilized plots. Root samples were collected and aboveground growth measured during the 11th year after fertilization. Despite significant increases in aboveground volume and biomass due to fertilization, fine root biomass was unaffected. No differences in rooting density (root length per volume of soil) due to phosphorus additions were detected. However, the ratio of fine root biomass to aboveground (shoot) biomass (R:S) was significantly smaller on plots receiving phosphorus fertilization.operated by Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc., under Contract No. DE-AC05-840 R21400 with the U.S. Department of Energy  相似文献

Belowground structure and annual production in an open Mediterranean scrub were studied on a sandy substrate which had not been harvested or exposed to fire during the last 30–40 years. Estimated belowground biomass (1328 ± 93.4 g m-2) and production (548 ± 246.9 g m-2 yr-1) were lower than in other Mediterranean scrubs. However, the energy investment in belowground structures was high (root biomass/ shoot biomass = 2.7; annual belowground production/ annual aboveground production = 7.1), which is associated with a high density of fine roots in the top soil (the average distance between the fine roots = 0.76 cm). A very simple model based on nutrient diffusion was considered to analyse the resource constrains of the community. The results underline the importance of nutrients (and more specifically phosphorus) rather than water, as possible determinants of the structure and dynamics of the root system, as well as for the primary production of the community during the vegetative period.  相似文献

研究根系与土壤关系是发掘河岸带生态退化等问题内在原因的重要途径。在漓江流域水陆交错带选取缓坡、陡坡、江心洲、人工岸坡4种典型立地类型,对不同土层深度的根长密度、根系生物量、比根长,以及根系特征与土壤有机质、全氮、有效磷的关系进行了研究,旨在为漓江流域生态修复过程中植被恢复、植被配置、快速绿化材料选取提供科学依据。结果表明:(1)同一立地类型0—10 cm土层和10—20 cm土层比根长差异性不显著。0—10 cm到10—20 cm土层,各立地类型根长密度和根系生物量密度均减小,但不同立地类型根长密度和根系生物量密度的差异程度逐渐缩小,表明地形、地表植物类型及生长状况对根长密度分布的影响也随土层深度的增加而逐渐减小。细根根长和生物量随着土壤深度的增加而减小。(2)土壤有机质含量差异性显著,分布规律为人工岸坡陡坡江心洲缓坡;土壤全氮含量从大到小依次是人工岸坡、陡坡、缓坡、江心洲,其值分别为:3.12、2.33、1.56、1.32 g/kg;土壤全氮与土壤有机质呈显著正相关。江心洲和缓坡有效磷含量远远大于人工岸坡和陡坡,原因是漓江水长期受人为洗漱影响,导致受江水干扰大的立地类型有效磷含量高。(3)根长密度、比根长、根系生物量与有机质、全氮含量呈正相关,与有效磷含量呈负相关,说明土壤根系越丰富,越有利于增加土壤有机质和全氮含量,但遏制了土壤有效磷。细根长度、生物量与根长密度在0.01水平(双侧)上显著正相关,与根系生物量密度呈负相关。  相似文献

Measurements of maize (Zea mays L.) root distribution with depth in the soil for nine years in a 11-year period revealed significantly different distribution patterns. Weather variations were expected to be related to the amount of roots found in each of the five 15-cm soil layers. The objective of this study was to attempt to explain root distribution in the field on the basis of precipitation and temperature data for the nine growing seasons. Growing degree days (GDD), accumulated in daily increments from planting to silking, were used to describe temperature effects. Correlations were calculated for weekly time increments of GDD versus root length densities at silking in all soil layers. Root length density below 30 cm was correlated (P=0.05) with GDD for two weeks following planting, whereas no relation was found between GDD and root length density in the topsoil. Amount of precipitation was accumulated in weekly increments from silking to planting and correlated with root length density in the soil layers at silking. This procedure evaluated the relation between precipitation and root growth during the vegetative growth period. Root length density in the 0 to 15 cm layer was found to be related significantly (P=0.05) to precipitation. The period 3 weeks prior silking gave the highest correlation coefficient (r=0.79).

Many mountain pastures consist of a mosaic of grassland and shrub communities. Ongoing changes in mountain agriculture have affected the balance between the two elements of the mosaic. In order to understand the consequences of these changes for ecosystem functioning, we studied patterns in vegetation, root structure and soil properties along transects of varying grassland-to-shrub proportions. Our hypothesis was that differences in the vegetation aboveground are accompanied by differences belowground, related to soil properties and depth. The research was conducted at a subalpine site in the Trentino region (South-eastern Alps), consisting of Nardus stricta grasslands alternating with shrub patches of Rhododendron ferrugineum. Our investigation showed that the composition of vegetation was mainly governed by R. ferrugineum cover and less by soil properties. Plant species richness peaked at low to intermediate degrees of shrub cover and composition between transects became more similar with increasing shrub cover. Where R. ferrugineum cover was higher, Hemicryptophytes caespitosae were replaced by Nano-phanerophytes with consequences for belowground structures. At increasing shrub cover, root length density decreased, especially in the top soil, while root weight density remained stable and C content increased insignificantly. We discuss that theses structural changes along the gradient of R. ferrugineum cover affect a number of ecosystem services. The presented evidence suggests that maintaining grasslands with a low cover of R. ferrugineum balances a number of services, namely plant species diversity, carbon stabilization in soil and the prevention of soil erosion.  相似文献

Root respiration is a critical physiological trait involved in root resource acquisition strategies, yet it is less represented in root trait syndrome. Here we compiled a large dataset of root respiration associated with root chemical and morphological traits from 245 plant species. Our results demonstrated that root respiration correlated positively with root nitrogen concentration (RNC) and negatively with root tissue density (RTD) across and within woody and non‐woody species. However, the relationships between root respiration and specific root length (SRL) and root diameter (RD) were weak or even insignificant. Such root respiration–traits relationships were not completely in line with predictions by the root economics spectrum (RES). Furthermore, the principal component analysis showed that root trait syndrome was multidimensional. Root respiration was associated more strongly with the RNC‐RTD axis (the classical RES) than with the orthogonal SRL‐RD axis for woody species, but not for non‐woody species. Collectively, the linkages of root physiological, chemical, and morphological traits provide a better understanding of root trait covariation and root resource acquisition strategies.  相似文献

Root growth dynamics of lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.) throughout the growing season are poorly understood. A field experiment was conducted in 1987 to compare root growth and distribution of two rice genotypes at two Arkansas locations on soils with different physical and chemical properties. Two genotypes, Bond and an experimental line (RU8701084), were grown on a Captina silt loam (Typic Fragiudults) at Fayetteville, AR, and on a Crowley silt loam (Typic Albaqualfs) near Stuttgart, Ar. Plots contained minirhizotrons oriented at a 45° angle and extended 55 cm (Captina) and 40 cm (Crowley) vertical to the soil surface. Root measurements were taken several times during the season at specific growth stages. Plant height and tiller number were taken at 9 dates at Fayetteville up to physiological maturity. In general, root length (RL) and root length density (RLD) were greater on the Captina soil. Genotypes at both locations reached maximum root growth rates between active tillering and panicle initiation (PI) and maximum RL by early reproduction. Total RL were similar between genotypes on the Captina. However on the Crowley, the mean RL for Bond between the period of early booting and flood removal was an average of 54% greater than for RU8701084. During early reproductive growth at both locations RL plateaued, but then declined during the grain filling process. There was a trend for RU8701084 to contain a greater percentage of its total RL in the top 20 and 10 cm of soil on the Captina and Crowley, respectively, while Bond tended to be a deeper rooted genotype. Bond had a greater RLD at the 20–30 cm depth increment on the Crowley, which contributed to the greater RL. Less than 15% of the total RL of either genotype was measured below 30 cm on the Crowley. In contrast, nearly 25% of the total RL was found at the 30–40 cm depth increment on the Captina. Results showed that rice root growth varied between soils, that root distribution patterns differed between genotypes, and that patterns of root growth changed with changes in plant development.  相似文献

Calibration of minirhizotron data against root length density (RLD) was carried out in a field trial where three drip irrigation depths: surface (R0) and subsurface, 0.20 m (RI) and 0.40 m depth (RII) and two processing tomato cultivars: `Brigade' (CI) and `H3044' (CII) were imposed. For each treatment three minirhizotron tubes were located at 10, 37.5 and 75 cm of the way from one plant row to the next. Roots intersecting the minirizotrons walls were expressed as root length intensity (L a) and number of roots per unit of minirhizotron wall area (N ra). Root length density (RLD) was calculated from core samples taken for each minirhizotron tube at two locations: near the top of the minirhizotron (BI) and 15 cm apart from it, facing the minirhizotron wall opposite the plant row (BII). Minirhizotron data were regressed against RLD obtained at BI and BII and with their respective means. The results show that for all the situations studied, better correlations were obtained when RLD was regressed with L a than with N ra. Also was evident that the relationship between L a and RLD was strongly influenced by the location of soil coring. RLD was correlated with L a trough linear and cubic equations, having the last ones higher determination coefficients. For instance at 10 cm from the plant row when values from the top layer (0–40 cm) were analysed separately, L a was significantly regressed with RLD measured at BII and described by the equations: RLD = 0.5448 + 0.0071 L a (R 2 = 0.51) and RLD = 0.4823 + 0.0074L a + 8×10–5 L a 2 – 5×10–7 L a 3 (R 2 = 0.61). Under the 40 cm depth the highest coefficients of determination for the linear and cubic equations were respectively 0.47 and 0.88, found when L a was regressed with RLD measured at BI. For minirhizotrons located at 75 cm from the plant row and for location BI it was possible to analyse jointly data from all depths with coefficients of determination of 0.45 and 0.59 for the linear and cubic equations respectively.  相似文献

Data are presented on the differences in root length density (RLD), dry matter (DM), and root diameter values determined on wheat and faba bean using sieves of different mesh size to separate roots from soil during sample preparation. Screens with 0.2, 1, and 2 mm (0.04, 1, and 4 mm2) aperture were used. Roots collected on the 2-mm sieve represented on average 55% of the weight and only 10% of the total length collected using a 0.2-mm sieve. With a 1-mm sieve 75% of weight was retained, but only 34% of the length. In the 0–20 cm soil layer average RLD and DM values ranged between 1.3 and 2.5 cm cm-3 and 215 and 136 g m-2 for faba bean and wheat respectively with 2 mm screens and 14.6 and 18.1 cm cm-3 and 313 and 202 g m-2 with 0.2 mm sieves. RLD was more affected than weight since losses from coarse screens were largely due to fine root fractions, although the 1-and 2-mm screens retained a small amount of fine roots that were long or attached to main structures. Variability was higher for measurements on coarser screens. The use of screens much coarser than the diameter of fine roots is not recommended for the study of surface-related phenomena in which root length quantification is necessary, while it may be acceptable for gross comparisons of root weight and spatial extent.  相似文献

Suboptimal soil conditions are known to result in poor early growth of maize (Zea mays L.) in no-tillage (NT) systems in contrast with conventional tillage (CT) systems. However, most studies have generally focused on maize roots at later growth stages and/or do not give details on root morphology. In a 2-year field study at two locations (silt loam and loam soils) in the Swiss midlands, we investigated the impacts of tillage intensity, NT vs. CT, and NP-fertilizer sidebanding on the morphology, vertical and horizontal distribution, and nutrient uptake of maize roots at the V6 growth stage. The length density (RLD) and the length per diameter-class distribution (LDD) of the roots were determined from soil cores taken to a depth of 0.5 m and at distances of 0.05 and 0.15 m from both sides of the maize row. The temperature of the topsoil was lower, and the bulk density and penetration resistance were greater in the topsoil of NT compared with CT. The growth and the development of the shoot were slower in NT. RLD was greater and the mean root diameter smaller in CT than in NT, while the vertical and horizontal distribution of roots did not differ between CT and NT. RLD increased in the zone enriched by the sidebanded fertilizer, independent of the tillage system, but LDD did not change. The poorer growth of the roots and shoots of maize seedlings was presumably caused by the lower topsoil temperature in NT rather than by mechanical impedance. The placement of a starter fertilizer at planting under NT is emphasized.  相似文献
