盐胁迫下施肥对棉花生长及氮素利用的影响

利用海水配制不同含盐量(0、0.15%、0.3%)的土壤盆栽棉花,在可移动遮雨棚内研究了不同施肥(N、NK、NP、NPK)处理对棉花生长、氮素吸收与利用的影响.结果表明: 盐胁迫和施肥均影响棉花生物产量、棉株氮素农学利用效率、氮素生物利用效率和氮素积累量,且两者存在显著的互作效应.施肥能提高盐胁迫下棉株氮素利用效率及氮素积累量,并显著增产,不同施肥处理中以N、P、K肥料配合施用的效果最好;施肥效果受盐胁迫程度的影响,低盐胁迫(0.15%)下的施肥效果好于中度盐胁迫(0.3%).     

在盐胁迫下光抑制及其恢复进程对冬小麦光合功能的影响(英文)

研究了盐和强光双重胁迫以及在弱光下恢复对冬小麦 (TriticumaestivumL .)光合功能的影响。结果表明 ,单纯用低浓度盐 (2 0 0mmol/LNaCl)胁迫时 ,对反映PSⅡ光合功能的Fv/Fo、Fv/Fm和qP等参数没有什么影响 ,但已十分明显地抑制光合碳同化能力 ,而高盐 (4 0 0mmol/LNaCl)胁迫损伤PSⅡ功能 ,从而加剧对碳同化功能的抑制 ,说明光合作用对不同盐浓度的响应不同。研究结果还表明 ,盐胁迫能加剧强光对光合功能的损伤 ,使之受到更加严重的光抑制。在低盐浓度下 ,光抑制初期形成的QB_非还原性PSⅡ反应中心 ,在随后的光抑制进程和弱光下恢复期间 ,能有效的被用来合成有活性的PSⅡ和修复可逆性失活的PSⅡ反应中心。而高盐和强光双重胁迫使PSⅡ遭受严重破坏 ,QB_非还原性PSⅡ反应中心只有在光抑制初期可部分地用于修复可逆性失活的PSⅡ ,随着光抑制的进程 ,它们不能用于合成有活性PSⅡ和修复受严重破坏的PSⅡ ,结果导致它们的含量在弱光下恢复时继续增加     

光温交叉胁迫对菜豆幼苗叶黄素循环启动的影响

弱光下,温度胁迫很难启动叶黄素循环,仅在高温下生成少量玉米黄质。随光强的上升,玉米黄质的生成量增加,紫黄质脱环化状态相应增大。强光高温最大程度上启动叶黄素循环。紫黄质脱环化抑制剂二硫苏糖醇的引入抑制玉米黄质的形成,但紫黄质的脱环化状态仍可由于环氧玉米黄质的形成而增加。

Endogenous polyamines in apple and their relationship to fruit set and fruit growth

The distribution of free and bound polyamines was investigated from blooming until harvest on flower, fruitlets and fruits of Malus domestica Borkh cv. Golden Delicious, Relationships between polyamines and fruit set and growth were also investigated. The level of free polyamines was high only during the first weeks after full bloom and then decreased gradually. The amount of bound trichloroacetic acid-insoluble polyamines was much higher than free polyamines. Bound spermine in particular showed a high value for almost 40 days after full bloom, while spermidine and putrescine were no longer detectable even a few days after full bloom.
In relation to fruit set, it was possible to observe that abscission peaks took place when free polyamine levels were low or decreasing. Insofar as fruit growth is concerned, the most substantial variations in polyamine levels occurred very early in the season when fruit dry weight and protein amount were also changing rapidly and fruit diameter was almost impossible to measure.     

Causes and effects of changes in xylem functionality in apple fruit

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The xylem in fruit of a number of species becomes dysfunctional as the fruit develops, resulting in a reduction of xylem inflow to the fruit. Such a reduction may have consequential effects on the mineral balance of the fruit. The aim of this study was to elucidate the dynamics and nature of xylem failure in developing apples (Malus domestica) showing differing susceptibilities to bitter pit, a calcium-related disorder. METHODS: Developmental changes in xylem functionality of the fruit were investigated in "Braeburn" and "Granny Smith" apples by using a dye infusion technique, to stain the vasculature along the path of dye movement. The vascular bundles were clearly visible in transverse section when fruit were sectioned equatorially. The intensity of staining of the vascular bundles in the fruit was recorded at regular intervals throughout the season. Tissue containing dysfunctional bundles was fixed and embedded in wax for subsequent sectioning and examination. KEY RESULTS: As the season progressed, an increasing proportion of vascular bundles failed to show any staining, with the most marked change occurring in the primary bundles, and in nearly all bundles with increasing distance from the stalk end of the fruit. Decreased conductance in the primary bundles of "Braeburn" occurred earlier than in "Granny Smith". Microscopy revealed that the xylem in vascular bundles of the fruit suffered substantial damage, indicating that the mode of dysfunction was via the physical disruption of the xylem caused by expansion of the flesh. CONCLUSIONS: Results support the view that the relative calcium deficiency of apple fruit is due to a progressive breakdown of xylem conductance caused by growth-induced damage to the xylem strand in the bundle. The earlier onset of xylem dysfunction in the cultivar more susceptible to bitter pit suggests that the relative growth dynamics of the fruit may control the occurrence of calcium-related disorders.     

Responses of photosystem I compared with photosystem II to high-light stress in tropical shade and sun leaves

Sun and shade leaves of several plant species from a neotropical forest were exposed to excessive light to evaluate the responses of photosystem I in comparison to those of photosystem II. Potential photosystem I activity was determined by means of the maximum P700 absorbance change around 810 nm (ΔA_810max) in saturating far-red light. Leaf absorbance changes in dependence of increasing far-red light fluence rates were used to calculate a ‘saturation constant’, K_s, representing the far-red irradiance at which half of the maximal absorbance change (ΔA_810max/2) was reached in the steady state. Photosystem II efficiency was assessed by measuring the ratio of variable to maximum chlorophyll fluorescence, F_v/F_m, in dark-adapted leaf samples. Strong illumination caused a high degree of photo-inhibition of photosystem II in all leaves, particularly in shade leaves. Exposure to 1800–2000 μ mol photons m⁻² s⁻¹ for 75 min did not substantially affect the potential activity of photosystem I in all species tested, but caused a more than 40-fold increase of K_s in shade leaves, and a three-fold increase of K_s in sun leaves. The increase in K_s was reversible during recovery under low light, and the recovery process was much faster in sun than in shade leaves. The novel effect of high-light stress on the light saturation of P700 oxidation described here may represent a complex reversible mechanism within photosystem I that regulates light-energy dissipation and thus protects photosystem I from photo-oxidative damage. Moreover, we show that under high-light stress a high proportion of P700 accumulates in the oxidized state, P700⁺. Presumably, conversion of excitation energy to heat by this cation radical may efficiently contribute to photoprotection.     

Calcium ion transport across discs of the cortical flesh of apple fruit in relation to fruit development

Transport of Ca²⁺ through discs of apple fruit tissue was examined in tissue taken at different stages of fruit development. Transport rates decreased with fruit development when cation exchange was the predominant influence on transport (with 10⁻⁶ M ⁴⁵CaCl₂ as the source solution). This decrease was associated with a reduction in relative cell wall surface area, cation exchange capacity and cell wall yield that occurred during fruit growth. When diffusion was the major transport force, and when transport was influenced by solution infiltration of the tissue disc (10⁻² M ⁴⁵CaCl₂ in the source solution), transport rates increased during fruit growth. This increment was related to increases in air space of the tissue. Ca²⁺ transport through apple fruit tissue is influenced by the extent and nature of the cell wall, changing proportions of air space and Ca²⁺ concentration in the extracellular solution.     

Isolation of mRNA species related to the rooting induction in almond and apple through the differential display technique

Differential display of mRNA has been recently developed as a tool to detect and characterize changes in gene expression. We applied this technique to fruit trees plantlets induced to root in vitro, in order to isolate and study genes involved in root induction. A reproducible pattern of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products was obtained, both in almond and apple, in vertical polyacrylamide gels stained with ethidium bromide. Differences in PCR fingerprinting were detected in mRNAs of basal part of either auxin induced or non induced microcuttings. Thus, we suggest that this technique can be used in woody species to detect changes among mRNA populations during root induction. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Strong synergistic effects of gibberellins with the synthetic cytokinin N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N-phenylurea on parthenocarpic fruit set and some other fruit characteristics of apple

The induction of parthenocarpic fruit set was investigated using the apple cvs. Golden Delicious and Jonagold. The gibberellins GA₃, GA₄, GA₅ and GA₇ and the synthetic phenylurea-type cytokinin CPPU (N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N-phenylurea), were applied alone and in combination to unpollinated flowers at the end of petal fall. Gibberellins induced only a marginal final set of parthenocarpic fruits. CPPU sprays were more effective, particularly in the first year. When applied in combination, CPPU and gibberellins had a positive synergistic effect on parthenocarpic fruit set and fruit size, but a negative effect on flower induction the next year. After CPPU + GA sprays, percent fruit set was similar, or greater, compared to natural pollinated trees. The parthenocarpic fruits induced by CPPU + GA had an increased length to diameter ratio. CPPU stimulated, and GA₄ and GA₇ reduced, the russeting of the parthenocarpic fruits. The internal quality of the fruits was hardly affected, but Ca-deficiency symptoms occurred more frequently in parthenocarpic fruits.     

Photosystem 2 is more tolerant to high temperature in apple (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Malus domestica</Emphasis> Borkh.) leaves than in fruit peel

Tolerance of photosystem 2 (PS2) to high temperature in apple (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Cortland) leaves and peel was investigated by chlorophyll a fluorescence (OJIP) transient after exposure to 25 (control), 40, 42, 44, and 46 °C in the dark for 30 min. The positive L-step was more pronounced in a peel than in leaves when exposed to 44 °C. Heat-induced K-step became less pronounced in leaves than in peel when exposed to 42 °C or higher temperature. Leaves had negative L-and K-steps relative to the peel. The decrease of oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) by heat stress was higher in the peel than in the leaves. OJIP transient from the 46 °C treated peel could not reach the maximum fluorescence (F_m). The striking thermoeffect was the big decrease in the relative variable fluorescence at 30 ms (V_I), especially in the leaves. Compared with the peel, the leaves had less decreased maximum PS2 quantum efficiency (F_v/F_m), photochemical rate constant (K_P), F_m and performance index (PI) on absorption basis (PI_abs) and less increased minimum fluorescence (F₀) and non-photochemical rate constant (K_N), but more increased reduction of end acceptors at PS1 electron acceptor side per cross section (RE₀/CS₀) and per reaction center (RE₀/RC₀), quantum yield of electron transport from Q_A ⁻ to the end acceptors (ϕ _R0) and total PI (PI_abs,total) when exposed to 44 °C. In conclusion, PS2 is more thermally labile than PS1. The reduction of PS2 activity by heat stress primarily results from an inactivation of OEC. PS2 was more tolerant to high temperature in the leaves than in the peel.

Application of architectural analysis and AMAPmod methodology to study dwarfing phenomenon: the branch structure of 'Royal Gala' apple grafted on dwarfing and non-dwarfing rootstock/interstock combinations

Architectural analysis was applied to study branch development of 'Royal Gala' apple trees grafted with dwarfing and non-dwarfing rootstock/interstock combinations, which had been chosen to produce trees with a wide range of vigour. Using AMAPmod methodology, the structure of 3-year-old branches was described at four levels of representation: branch; annual shoot; growth unit; and node. Three types of growth units were distinguished: extension growth unit (vegetative unit with internode extension); vegetative spur with minimal internode extension; and fruiting spur or bourse. The aim of the analysis was to describe exactly how the rootstock/interstock combinations affected the structure building process. The number of extension growth units, vegetative spurs and fruiting spurs per annual shoot changed over the years, but this was not affected by rootstock/interstock combination. Compared with MM.106 rootstock, M.9 rootstock reduced the number of nodes per extension growth unit. In most cases, rootstock/interstock combination had no effect on the linear relationship between extension growth unit length and node number (R(2) = 0.88). Average internode length depended on unit node number, with internodes being shorter for units with fewer nodes. Thus the difference in apple branch size induced by the rootstock/interstock combinations was mainly due to a reduction in the length and number of neoformed nodes produced on extension growth units. As percentage budbreak of axillary buds on extension growth units was not affected by rootstock/interstock combination, differences in numbers of axillary annual shoots per branch were entirely due to differences in the total numbers of nodes extended during the previous year.     

不同菌根类型的森林净初级生产力对气温变化的响应

菌根是由土壤中的菌根菌与植物根系形成的互惠共生体, 在植物生产力和生态系统碳循环过程中发挥着重要的作用。该文基于全球森林数据库, 建立了包括全球森林菌根类型、净初级生产力(net primary productivity, NPP)和年平均气温等指标的新数据库。在此基础上, 分析了6种菌根类型(丛枝菌根(arbuscular mycorrhiza, AM)、AM +外生菌根(ectomycorrhiza, ECM)、AM + ECM +内外生菌根(ectendomycorrhiza, EEM)、ECM、ECM + EEM和ECM + EEM +无菌根(nonmycorrhiza, NM))森林的总NPP、地上和地下NPP、树木主干NPP、树叶NPP, 以及树木细根NPP对年平均气温变化的响应。结果表明, 不同菌根类型的森林总NPP、地上和地下NPP虽然都随气温的升高呈现上升的趋势, 但其响应程度因菌根类型的不同而有所差异。除AM和AM + ECM + EEM类型的森林外, 其他4种菌根类型的森林总NPP都随年平均气温的增加而显著增加; 随着菌根类型的不同, 地上和地下NPP对年平均气温变化的响应程度也存在差异, 在AM + ECM类型的森林中, 气温对地上NPP变异的解释率最高, 达到57.27%, 而地下NPP仅在ECM类型和ECM + EEM类型的森林中呈现出与年平均气温显著的回归关系。树木主干、树叶和细根的NPP则随菌根类型的不同而变化, 与气温变化呈现正、负相关关系。从AM与ECM类型的森林的NPP来看, 无论是总NPP还是各个组成部分的NPP, ECM类型的森林的NPP对气温的响应总是较AM类型更为敏感。可见, 不同类型的菌根通过影响森林不同部分的NPP对气温变化的响应程度而影响到森林NPP对气温变化的响应。这表明菌根类型是预测气温变化对森林NPP影响的重要指标。
