Fluctuation in levels of endogenous plant hormones in ovules of normal and mutant cotton during flowering and their relation to fiber development

The contents of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), gibberellins (GAs), abscisic acid (ABA), and cytokinins were determined in ovules of normal cotton (Tm-1) and a kind of fiber differentiation mutant (Xin) before and after flowering by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. It was found that 24 h before flowering, a peak of IAA content was observed in ovules of Tm-1, whereas in ovules of Xin, a low level of IAA was determined. From –1 day (1 day before flowering) to +3 days (3 days after flowering), GA₁₊₃ levels in ovules of Xin were 40–70% lower than those of Tm-1; GA₄₊₇ levels were very low, and there was no visible difference in GA₄₊₇ content between normal and mutant cotton. The ABA content in ovule of Tm-1 decreased by 70% 3 days after flowering, whereas that of Xin only decreased by 20%. The levels of cytokinins in ovules of Tm-1 decreased after flowering, and those of Xin kept up a steady increase.Abbreviations IAA indole-3-acetic acid - GA gibberellin - ABA abscisic acid - ELISA enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay - FW fresh weight - PBS phosphate-buffered saline - iPA isopentenyladenosine - ZR zeatin riboside - DHZR dihydrozeatin riboside - CTK cytokinin

该研究采用ISSR分子标记,对黄枝油杉7个自然种群的遗传多样性进行了分析。结果表明：用12条ISSR引物对218个黄枝油杉个体进行扩增,共扩增出125个位点。在物种水平上,多态性位点百分数( PPL)为100.00％,Shannon信息多样性指数( I)为0.4177,Nei’ s基因多样性指数( H)为0.2666;在种群水平上,多态性位点百分数(PPL)在71.20％~92.00％之间,平均值为80.69％,Shannon信息多样性指数(I)在0.3273~0.3886之间,平均值为0.3548,Nei’ s基因多样性指数( H)在0.2139~0.2478之间,平均值为0.2291。这说明黄枝油杉在物种水平和种群水平上均显示出较高的遗传多样性。 Nei’ s遗传多样性分析( Gst＝0.1433)和AMOVA分析(Φst＝17.91％)表明,黄枝油杉的遗传变异主要存在于种群内,种群间的遗传分化程度较低,种群间保持一定的基因交流( Nm＝2.9890>1)。 Mantel分析显示,黄枝油杉种群间的遗传距离和地理距离之间不存在显著的相关关系( r＝0.4567, P＝0.0610>0.05)。     

Interactive effects of α-NAA and UV-B radiation on the endogenous hormone contents and growth of Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim seedlings

The impact of UV-B radiation on endogenous hormones in plants has recently drawn attention from researchers. The mechanism for reduced stem elongation by UV-B might be due to changes in the phytohormone levels, especially IAA, which plays a role in stem elongation. In this study, effects of UV-B radiation on Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim (T. kirilowii) seedlings in greenhouse-grown plants were investigated. The results indicated that: (1) In comparison to controls, exposure to 0.029 Jm^?2 s^?1. UV-B radiation led to accumulation of endogenous abscisic acid (ABA) and zeatinriboside (ZR) in the plant contents, and decreased contents of endogenous indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and gibberellic acid (GA_1/3). Exposure to UV-B radiation reduced the height and leaf area of plants. As a result, total biomass (plant dry weight) was lower. (2) In comparison to controls, addition of 2 mg l^?1 α-naphthaleneacetic acid (α-NAA) slightly increased the contents of IAA, GA_1/3 and ZR, and decreased the content of ABA in leaves. This addition of α-NAA significantly increased plant height and leaf area, but only slightly increased total biomass. (3) Addition of α-NAA to UV-B-exposed plants: increased the content of endogenous IAA, GA_1/3 and ZR; decreased accumulation of endogenous ABA; and increased plant height and leaf area in comparison to plants that only were exposed to UV-B. Moreover, total biomass increased slightly. This suggests that addition of α-NAA may compensate to a certain extent for the lack of IAA resulting from UV-B radiation; it also increases the content of GA_1/3 and ZR, decreases the accumulation of ABA, and promotes the growth of plants.     

中国沙棘克隆生长对灌水强度的响应规律及其激素调控机制

关于中国沙棘克隆生长调节研究目前局限于外在机制,旨在探讨其克隆生长对灌水强度的响应规律及其激素调控的内在机制。结果表明:随着灌水强度的增大,分株生长、克隆繁殖、克隆扩散能力先升后降,IAA(吲哚-3-乙酸)、ZR(玉米素核苷)、GA_3(赤霉酸)含量及其与ABA(脱落酸)的比值先升后降而ABA含量先降后升。同时,分株生长、克隆繁殖、克隆扩散能力与IAA、ZR、GA_3含量以及IAA/ABA、ZR/ABA、GA_3/ABA呈极显著或显著正相关,与ABA含量呈极显著负相关。灌水强度过小或过大,IAA、ZR、GA_3含量以及IAA/ABA、ZR/ABA、GA_3/ABA低而ABA含量高,克隆生长潜力受到抑制,种群以分株小、数量少(分布稀疏)、扩散(水平根延伸和分枝)能力弱为特征,克隆生长格局倾向于"游击型"、种群早衰概率高;灌水强度适宜,IAA、ZR、GA_3含量以及IAA/ABA、ZR/ABA、GA_3/ABA高而ABA含量低,克隆生长潜力得以充分发挥,种群以分株大、数量多(分布密集)、扩散能力强为特征,克隆生长格局倾向于"聚集型"、种群稳定性高。随着灌水强度过小-适宜-过大的连续变化,中国沙棘通过改变激素状况调控克隆生长,从而形成与灌水强度相适应的克隆生长格局连续体"游击型-聚集型-游击型",种群稳定性呈"低-高-低"的连续变化过程。由此可见:灌水强度诱导内源激素发生改变,激素特征调控克隆生长格局,克隆生长格局决定种群稳定性。     

UV-B辐射增强和O3浓度升高对大豆叶片内源激素和抗氧化能力的影响

揭示大豆叶片内源激素对UV-B和臭氧胁迫的代谢机制和响应方式,为从分子水平研究植物内源激素对UV-B(Ultraviolet-B)和O3(Ozone)胁迫的适应机制奠定基础。以大豆(Glycine max.)为试验材料,利用开顶式气室研究UV-B(0.32W/m2)和O3((110±10)nmol/mol)复合胁迫对大豆叶片内源激素含量及活性氧代谢系统的影响。结果表明:在大豆整个生育期内,与对照相比,UV-B胁迫使大豆叶片ABA(Abscisic acid)含量、ZR(Zeatin riboside)含量和IAA(Indoleacetic acid)含量显著降低,IAA/ABA、ZR/ABA、(IAA+ZR)/ABA比值升高,O·-2(Superoxide anion free radical,O·-2)产生速率和MDA(Malonaldehyde)含量升高,SOD(Superoxide dismutase)、CAT(Catalase)和POD(Peroxidase)活性显著降低;高浓度O3胁迫下,大豆叶片ABA和IAA含量显著下降、ZR含量显著增加,IAA/ABA、ZR/ABA、(IAA+ZR)/ABA值显著升高,O·-2产生速率和MDA含量增加,SOD、CAT和POD活性显著降低;UV-B和O3复合胁迫下,大豆叶片ABA含量、ZR含量和IAA含量降低,ZR/ABA、(IAA+ZR)/ABA值下降,而IAA/ABA值升高,O·-2产生速率和MDA含量显著增加,SOD、CAT和POD活性显著降低。UV-B辐射增强和O3浓度升高单一及复合作用使大豆叶片内源激素间平衡改变,进而影响大豆叶片的代谢水平。持续胁迫下,植株抗氧化能力下降,对大豆表现为伤害效应。UV-B和O3复合胁迫比单独胁迫时的影响有所加深,但是小于两者单独作用时影响的简单累加。     

Effects of elevated CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> and/or O<Subscript>3</Subscript> on hormone IAA in needles of Chinese pine

This study examined the effects of season-long exposure of Chinese pine (Pinus tabulaeformis) to elevated carbon dioxide (CO₂) and/or ozone (O₃) on indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) content, activities of IAA oxidase (IAAO) and peroxidase (POD) in needles. Trees grown in open-top chambers (OTC) were exposed to control (ambient O₃, 55 nmol mol⁻¹ + ambient CO₂, 350 μmol mol⁻¹, CK), elevated CO₂ (ambient O₃ + high CO₂, 700 μmol mol⁻¹, EC) and elevated O₃ (high O₃, 80 ± 8 nmol mol⁻¹ + ambient CO₂, EO) OTCs from 1 June to 30 September. Plants grown in elevated CO₂ OTC had a growth increase of axial shoot and needle length, compared to control, by 20% and 10% respectively, while the growth in elevated O₃ OTC was 43% and 7% less respectively, than control. An increase in IAA content and POD activity and decrease in IAAO activity were observed in trees exposed to elevated CO₂ concentration compared with control. Elevated O₃ decreased IAA content and had no significant effect on IAAO activity, but significantly increased POD activity. When trees pre-exposed to elevated CO₂ were transferred to elevated O₃ (EC–EO) or trees pre-exposed to elevated O₃ were transferred to elevated CO₂ (EO–EC), IAA content was lower while IAAO activity was higher than that transferred to CK (EC–CK or EO–CK), the change in IAA content was also related to IAAO activity. The results indicated that IAAO and POD activities in Chinese pine needles may be affected by the changes in the atmospheric environment, resulting in the change of IAA metabolism which in turn may cause changes in Chinese pine’s growth.

以毛竹(Phyllostachys edulis)实生苗为材料,采用Hoagland营养液水培方法,研究不同磷浓度下毛竹生长、根系发育、激素含量等的差异。结果表明:磷浓度较低时,可以促进毛竹实生苗根系长度及根系总表面积的增长。随着磷浓度的增加,实生苗生物量干重及根冠比呈先上升后下降趋势,磷浓度为1 mmol L-1时达到最大。无磷处理时,根中的IAA、ZR、GA3和ABA等4种内源激素含量随着处理时间的延长均先升高再降低;其他浓度磷处理根中IAA、ZR和GA3(0.5 mmol L-1磷除外)含量随着处理时间的延长大致呈先降低后升高的趋势,而ABA(0.5 mmol L-1磷除外)含量随着处理时间的延长变化不明显。不同浓度磷处理,叶片中IAA、GA3和ABA含量总体上呈下降趋势,ZR含量总体上呈上升趋势。以上结果表明不同浓度的磷处理对毛竹内源激素含量的变化有显著的影响,而内源激素含量变化与毛竹实生苗根系变化密切相关。     

施氮量对花铃期短期渍水棉花叶片抗氧化酶活性和内源激素含量的影响

于2005-2006年在江苏南京（32°02′ N,118°50′ E）南京农业大学卫岗试验站进行盆栽试验,设置正常灌水和棉花花铃期短期渍水处理（渍水8 d,恢复15 d）,每个水分处理设置3个施氮水平（0、240、480 kg N·hm^-2）,研究施氮量对渍水棉花叶片抗氧化酶活性和内源激素含量的影响.结果表明：在渍水结束时,与正常灌水相比,渍水棉花叶片可溶性蛋白含量、超氧化物歧化酶和过氧化氢酶活性降低,过氧化物酶活性升高,丙二醛（MDA）含量升高;与此同时,内源激素含量发生变化,脱落酸（ABA）含量升高,玉米素核苷（ZR）、赤霉素（GA）、生长素（IAA）含量及ZR/ABA、GA/ABA、IAA/ABA降低;其中以240 kg N·hm^-2渍水棉花MDA和ABA含量最低,而ZR、GA和IAA含量及ZR/ABA、GA/ABA和IAA/ABA最高,净光合速率最高.到停止渍水15 d时,渍水棉花叶片的抗氧化酶活性、MDA含量、内源激素含量与正常灌水处理的差异较小;施氮可提高渍水处理棉花叶片抗氧化酶活性,降低MDA含量,使ABA水平降低,ZR、GA、IAA水平及ZR/ABA、GA/ABA、IAA/ABA升高.本试验中,渍水条件下以240 kg N·hm^-2处理的效果最好,生物量和籽棉产量最高.     

继代培养次数对杜梨生根能力和叶形态及其激素水平的影响

为了探索杜梨组培复幼变化规律,对10年生杜梨进行连续继代培养,统计不同继代次数杜梨丛生芽繁殖系数和生根率,观察记录叶片形态变化并测定内源激素含量。结果表明:(1)通过连续继代培养,杜梨丛生芽生根率由0提升到66.70%,繁殖系数由第1代的2.13提升到第10代的4.20。(2)叶片在继代第3次时出现裂刻且随后裂刻程度逐代加深;在继代过程中,丛生芽叶面积和叶脉数显著降低,叶周长和叶形指数呈先下降后上升的变化趋势。(3)丛生芽叶片内源IAA含量在继代第6次时达到46.39 ng·g-1,且显著高于初代丛生芽;随着继代次数的增加,叶片内源ZR呈先上升后下降的变化趋势,内源GA3含量没有发生显著性变化,而内源ABA含量逐渐降低;叶片IAA/ABA和IAA/ZR的值随着继代次数的增加而增加。(4)丛生芽叶片ABA含量和IAA/ZR与其生根率分别呈显著负相关和显著正相关关系,叶片裂刻数和IAA/ABA与生根率均呈现极显著正相关关系,而叶脉数与生根率则呈现极显著负相关关系。研究认为,连续继代培养可显著提高杜梨丛生芽的生根能力,并且与丛生芽叶形和激素含量及其比值有密切的关系,该研究结果为难生根植物无性繁殖以及树木复幼提供了重要技术借鉴。     

Ability of bacterium Bacillus subtilis to produce cytokinins and to influence the growth and endogenous hormone content of lettuce plants

Hormone production by micro-organisms selected as antagonists of pathogenic fungi and the effect of their introduction into soil on hormone content and growth of lettuce plants were studied. Hormones in bacterial cultural media and in plant extracts were immunopurified and assayed using specific antibodies to indolyl-3-acetic acid (IAA), abscisic acid (ABA), and different cytokinins (zeatin riboside (ZR), dihydrozeatinriboside (DHZR) and isopentenyladenosine (iPA)). ZR was shown to be the main cytokinin present in bacterial cultural media as a complex with a high molecular weight component. Inoculation of lettuce plants with bacteria increased the cytokinin content of both shoots and roots. Accumulation of zeatin and its riboside was greatest in roots shortly 2days after inoculation, when their content was 10 times higher than in control. Changes in the content of other hormones (ABA and IAA) were observed at the end of experiments only. Accumulation of cytokinins in inoculated lettuce plants was associated with an increase in plant shoot and root weight of approximately 30% over 8days.     

Physiological characteristics and related gene expression of after‐ripening on seed dormancy release in rice

After‐ripening is a common method used for dormancy release in rice. In this study, the rice variety Jiucaiqing (Oryza sativa L. subsp. japonica) was used to determine dormancy release following different after‐ripening times (1, 2 and 3 months). Germination speed, germination percentage and seedling emergence increased with after‐ripening; more than 95% germination and 85% seedling emergence were observed following 1 month of after‐ripening within 10 days of imbibition, compared with <45% germination and 20% seedling emergence in freshly harvested seed. Hence, 3 months of after‐ripening could be considered a suitable treatment period for rice dormancy release. Dormancy release by after‐ripening is mainly correlated with a rapid decline in ABA content and increase in IAA content during imbibition. Subsequently, GA₁/ABA, GA₇/ABA, GA₁₂/ABA, GA₂₀/ABA and IAA/ABA ratios significantly increased, while GA₃/ABA, GA₄/ABA and GAs/IAA ratio significantly decreased in imbibed seeds following 3 months of after‐ripening, thereby altering α‐amylase activity during seed germination. Peak α‐amylase activity occurred at an earlier germination stage in after‐ripened seeds than in freshly harvested seeds. Expression of ABA, GA and IAA metabolism genes and dormancy‐related genes was regulated by after‐ripening time upon imbibition. Expression of OsCYP707A5, OsGA2ox1, OsGA2ox2, OsGA2ox3, OsILR1, OsGH3‐2, qLTG3‐1 and OsVP1 increased, while expression of Sdr4 decreased in imbibed seeds following 3 months of after‐ripening. Dormancy release through after‐ripening might be involved in weakening tissues covering the embryo via qLTG3‐1 and decreased ABA signalling and sensitivity via Sdr4 and OsVP1.     

Influence of elevated CO2 and O3 on IAA, IAA oxidase and peroxidase in the leaves of ginkgo trees

This study examined the impacts of elevated CO₂ or O₃ on indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) content, activities of IAA oxidase (IAAO) and peroxidase (POD) in Ginkgo biloba leaves. Plants grown in open-top chambers were exposed to ambient atmosphere (control; C), elevated CO₂ and elevated O₃ from 1 June to 30 September. An increase in IAA content and decrease in IAAO and POD activities were observed in plants exposed to elevated CO₂ compared with C. Elevated O₃ had no significant effect on IAA content and IAAO activity, but increased POD activity during the early days. When trees pre-exposed to elevated CO₂ were transferred to elevated O₃ or C, the increase in IAAO activity resulted in the decrease in IAA content. When trees pre-exposed to elevated O₃ were transferred to elevated CO₂ or C, IAA content, IAAO and POD activities showed no significant changes. The influence of POD activity on the IAA activity was low.     

外源GA3对紫斑牡丹幼苗叶片解剖结构与光合特性及内源激素含量的影响

以1年生紫斑牡丹幼苗为试验材料,采用不同浓度(0、100、300、500 mg/L)赤霉素(GA_3)喷施叶片处理,通过透射电镜、扫描电镜、光学显微镜观察幼苗叶片解剖结构,光合仪测定幼苗光合参数并以酶联免疫吸附法测叶片内源激素含量,探究外源GA_3对紫斑牡丹幼苗叶片解剖结构、光合特性和内源激素水平的影响。结果表明:(1)低浓度GA_3处理的紫斑牡丹叶肉细胞增大,栅栏组织外层细胞中叶绿体数量增加,高浓度GA_3处理则与之相反;GA_3处理叶片的栅栏组织/海绵组织比值(P/S)、组织结构紧密度(CTR)均下降,而其组织结构疏松度(SR)增加;GA_3处理的幼苗叶片的叶肉细胞内各叶绿体大小显著大于对照,随着GA_3处理浓度增加,紫斑牡丹叶肉细胞内叶绿体的体积趋于增大,类囊体垛叠凝聚逐渐松散,叶绿体上淀粉颗粒在300 mg/L GA_3处理中较明显;叶片气孔长度、宽度、气孔器大小、气孔开度和气孔密度随着GA_3浓度升高先升高后下降,同时叶片上表皮角质层厚度随GA_3浓度的升高而增加。(2)紫斑牡丹叶片净光合速率(P_n)、气孔导度(Cond)、蒸腾速率(T_r)、水分利用率(WUE)在100和300 mg/L GA_3处理下大都显著高于对照,且300 mg/L GA_3处理显著高于其余处理,而其在500 mg/L GA_3处理下显著低于对照。(3)紫斑牡丹叶片脱落酸(ABA)和吲哚乙酸(IAA)含量均在500 mg/L GA_3下显著高于对照,而在其余浓度处理下不同程度低于对照,叶片内源玉米素核苷(ZR)和GA_3含量均在300 mg/L GA_3处理下显著高于其余处理和对照,而其余处理相比对照均无显著变化;叶片的ZR/ABA、ZR/IAA、ZR/GA_3和(IAA+GA_3+ZR)/ABA比值都在300 mg/L GA_3处理下显著高于其他处理,叶片的IAA/ABA和ABA/GA_3比值均在500 mg/L GA_3处理下显著高于其他处理。研究发现,适宜浓度外源GA_3处理,能显著提高紫斑牡丹幼苗叶片光合速率、水分利用效率及蒸腾速率,调节植物体内源激素的含量及平衡,从而使叶片能合成较多有机物,促进幼苗生长。     

Do elevated atmospheric CO2 and O3 affect food quality and performance of folivorous insects on silver birch?

The individual and combined effects of elevated CO₂ and O₃ on the foliar chemistry of silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) and on the performance of five potential birch‐defoliating insect herbivore species (two geometrid moths, one lymantrid moth and two weevils) were examined. Elevated CO₂ decreased the water concentration in both short‐ and long‐shoot leaves, but the effect of CO₂ on the concentration of nitrogen and individual phenolic compounds was mediated by O₃ treatment, tree genotype and leaf type. Elevated O₃ increased the total carbon concentration only in short‐shoot leaves. Bioassays showed that elevated CO₂ increased the food consumption rate of juvenile Epirrita autumnata and Rheumaptera hastata larvae fed with short‐ and long‐shoot leaves in spring and mid‐summer, respectively, but had no effect on the growth of larvae. The contribution of leaf quality variables to the observed CO₂ effects indicate that insect compensatory consumption may be related to leaf age. Elevated CO₂ increased the food preference of only two tested species: Phyllobius argentatus (CO₂ alone) and R. hastata (CO₂ combined with O₃). The observed stimulus was dependent on tree genotype and the measured leaf quality variables explained only a portion of the stimulus. Elevated O₃ decreased the growth of flush‐feeding young E. autumnata larvae, irrespective of CO₂ concentration, apparently via reductions in general food quality. Therefore, the increasing tropospheric O₃ concentration could pose a health risk for juvenile early‐season birch folivores in future. In conclusion, the effects of elevated O₃ were found to be detrimental to the performance of early‐season insect herbivores in birch whereas elevated CO₂ had only minor effects on insect performance despite changes in food quality related foliar chemistry.     

兰州百合鳞茎发育及低温解除休眠过程中内源激素的变化

以兰州百合为试材,研究了鳞茎发育过程中以及2、6、10℃条件下保湿贮藏101 d内母鳞茎与新鳞茎中内源激素的变化。结果表明：鳞茎发育过程中内源ABA含量以及母鳞茎的GA₃与ZR含量增加,而内源IAA含量以及新鳞茎的GA₃与ZR含量下降。低温贮藏期间,母鳞茎与新鳞茎的GA₃、IAA含量均有升高过程,而ABA含量呈下降趋势;新鳞茎的ZR含量呈下降趋势,母鳞茎的ZR含量也有升高过程。低温处理初期的34 d内,内源激素变化最为显著。不同贮藏温度相比较,ABA含量差异不大,GA₃含量随温度升高而下降。在富含淀粉的新鳞茎中,GA₃和ABA表现出极显著的负相关关系,而在淀粉含量较低的母鳞茎中GA₃和ABA无相关性。通径分析结果表明,母鳞茎与新鳞茎的物质代谢机制不同,母鳞茎的物质变化受内源GA₃的调控,新鳞茎主要是ABA作用的结果。     

Elevated CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> ameliorated oxidative stress induced by elevated O<Subscript>3</Subscript> in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Quercus mongolica</Emphasis>

Using open top chambers, the effects of elevated O₃ (80 nmol mol⁻¹) and elevated CO₂ (700 μmol mol⁻¹), alone and in combination, were studied on young trees of Quercus mongolica. The results showed that elevated O₃ increased malondialdehyde content and decreased photosynthetic rate after 45 days of exposure, and prolonged exposure (105 days) induced significant increase in electrolyte leakage and reduction of chlorophyll content. All these changes were alleviated by elevated CO₂, indicating that oxidative stress on cell membrane and photosynthesis was ameliorated. After 45 days of exposure, elevated O₃ stimulated activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX, EC 1.11.1.11), but the stimulation was dampened under elevated CO₂ exposure. Furthermore, ascorbate (AsA) and total phenolics contents were not higher in the combined gas treatment than those in elevated O₃ treatment. It indicates that the protective effect of elevated CO₂ against O₃ stress was achieved hardly by enhancing ROS scavenging ability after 45 days of exposure. After 105 days of exposure, elevated O₃ significantly decreased activities of SOD, catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6) and APX and AsA content. Elevated CO₂ suppressed the O₃-induced decrease, which could ameliorate the oxidative stress in some extent. In addition, elevated CO₂ increased total phenolics content in the leaves both under ambient O₃ and elevated O₃ exposure, which might contribute to the protection against O₃-induced oxidative stress as well.     

Daily and seasonal CO2 exchange in Scots pine grown under elevated O3 and CO2: experiment and simulation

Starting in early spring of 1994, naturally regenerated, 30-year-old Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) trees were grown in open-top chambers and exposed in situ to doubled ambient O₃,doubled ambient CO₂ and a combination of O₃ and CO₂ from 15 April to 15 September. To investigate daily and seasonal responses of CO₂ exchange to elevated O₃ and CO₂, the CO₂ exchange of shoots was measured continuously by an automatic system for measuring gas exchange during the course of one year (from 1 Januray to 31 December 1996). A process-based model of shoot photosynthesis was constructed to quantify modifications in the intrinsic capacity of photosynthesis and stomatal conductance by simulating the daily CO₂ exchange data from the field. Results showed that on most days of the year the model simulated well the daily course of shoot photosynthesis. Elevated O₃ significantly decreased photosynthetic capacity and stomatal conductance during the whole photosynthetic period. Elevated O₃ also led to a delay in onset of photosynthetic recovery in early spring and an increase in the sensitivity of photosynthesis to environmental stress conditions. The combination of elevated O₃ and CO₂ had an effect on photosynthesis and stomatal conductance similar to that of elevated O₃ alone, but significantly reduced the O₃-induced depression of photosynthesis. Elevated CO₂ significantly increased the photosynthetic capacity of Scots pine during the main growing season but slightly decreased it in early spring and late autumn. The model calculation showed that, compared to the control treatment, elevated O₃ alone and the combination of elevated O₃ and CO₂ decreased the annual total of net photosynthesis per unit leaf area by 55% and 38%, respectively. Elevated CO₂ increased the annual total of net photosynthesis by 13%.

沙生柽柳扦插生根过程插穗相关理化特征分析

选取沙生柽柳半木质化枝条进行苗床扦插,通过实验测定插穗生根过程中内源激素(IAA、GA3、ZR、ABA)含量、可溶性营养物质(糖、蛋白质)含量及相关氧化酶(PPO、POD、SOD、IAAO)活性的动态变化特征,探讨沙生柽柳插穗扦插生根机理。结果表明:(1)沙生柽柳插穗内源激素含量随生根进程而发生变化,其中,IAA含量在扦插35d最大,并出现较大的波动变化;ZR含量在扦插55d前后变化明显,呈现低水平向高水平转化趋势;ABA、GA3含量依次呈先升高后降低再升高的变化过程,并在扦插15d和55d(80d)呈现变化的峰值和谷值。(2)沙生柽柳扦插生根与相关氧化酶活性密切相关,其中,POD、IAAO活性在插穗扦插35d后长时间保持较高水平,直至插穗生根后POD活性明显降低,IAAO活性有所增加;PPO、SOD活性则在插穗扦插15d保持较高活性,且PPO活性的变化均匀,SOD活性的高低交替变化明显。(3)在沙生柽柳扦插生根期间,插穗可溶性糖含量呈现生根前消耗减少与生根后积累增加两大变化过程,可溶性蛋白质含量表现为扦插后逐步积累增加的变化趋势。研究表明,高水平的IAA、ZR和低水平的GA3、ABA共同调控着沙生柽柳插穗生根;IAA能够通过促进插穗POD、PPO、IAAO活性变化来影响生根,较高的POD、IAAO活性可调节插穗IAA水平,高水平的PPO活性则催化插穗IAA-酚酸复合物的形成,进而诱导插穗生根。
