A neighboring-inhibition model for stomate patterning

The patternization of stomate distribution was investigated in the first leaf of the sporophyte of the fern Dryopteris thelypteris and in the leaves of the jade plant Crassula argentae. In the fern leaf, stomates arise over a period of 1.1 days (26.4 hr) and attain a frequency of 0.186 of the epidermal cells while in the jade plant the formative period is over only 0.8 days (19.2 hr) and stomates reach a frequency of 0.090 of the epidermal cells. A computer model was devised to simulate the appearance of stomates by an induction process for a new stomate which then inhibits contiguous cells from becoming stomates. The validity of the model was demonstrated in that it gave values for stomate and stomate cluster frequencies upon calculating the frequency of free cells. For the fern leaf, the model required 57 iteration intervals, six iterations for the time from stomate induction until the adjacent cells were inhibited (a period of induction plus inhibitions), and an induction rate of 0.02 cells per time interval. From these theoretical values and the measured period of 26.4 hr when stomates arise during leaf development, a period of induction/inhibitions is calculated as 2.7 hr. In the model for the jade plant, 81 iteration intervals are required with six iterations per period of induction/inhibitions along with an induction rate of 0.002 cells per interation interval. These values give the duration for a period of induction/inhibitions in jade of 1.4 hr. This study describes the patterning process of stomate formation by an explicit, mathematical algorithm, and, from measurements of actual leaves, the various periods in the model can be assigned real time values.     

烟草不同基因型耐低氮能力差异评价

以单株叶重及其氮素反应指数作为耐低氮能力的评价指标,分析了烟草种质资源的耐低氮能力以及单株叶重及其氮素反应指数与主要农艺性状间的相关关系。结果表明,不同施氮水平下多数农艺性状基因型间差异较大,在低氮水平下表现最大;和其他农艺性状相比,单株叶重在不同氮素水平间平均差异最大。不同施氮水平下,单株叶重均与最大叶叶面积、单株生物量呈显著或极显著正相关;单株叶重的氮素反应指数与单株叶重、生物量呈显著或极显著正相关,且低氮水平下单株叶重的氮素反应指数与上述性状间的相关性比中氮水平下更为密切。在供试的36个烟草品种中,永定400号、金烟6号、红花大金元、G80、Nc82等烟草种质具有较强的耐低氮能力,可以作为氮高效的烟草品种利用。     

刺槐叶片可塑生长的密度依赖性

为了探明刺槐叶片性状对种植密度的依赖性,通过刺槐田间栽培试验,研究了刺槐叶片可塑生长的密度依赖性以及主要叶片性状因子之间的关系.结果表明,不同种植密度条件下刺槐叶片厚度均无显著差异,但叶面积、叶绿素含蜃、叶片干重、比叶面积、叶干物质含量和叶片N含量差异显著,表明不同种植密度条件下刺槐叶性因子参数的变异较大,刺槐叶片性状对密度的依赖性较强.叶干重、叶厚度和叶片干物质含量均随种植密度的降低而呈增加趋势,叶片干物质含量与种植密度的相关性达到显著水平(P<0.01),而叶干重、叶厚度与种植密度的相关性不显著(P>0.05).比叶而积和叶片N含鼍均随种植密度的降低而降低,表明刺槐各叶性因子之间对种植密度的依赖性差异明显.对刺槐各叶性因子的相关分析表明,不同种植密度条件下各叶性因子之间的相关性及其强弱均存在差别,表明种植密度是影响刺槐叶性因子变异及叶性因子之间关系的因素之一.叶性特征对种植密度响应存在差异的主要原因是叶性因子之间的协同变化、刺槐生长微环境的差异和刺槐间竞争强度的差异,刺槐不同叶性因子之间的协调平衡和对种植密度响应程度与方向的差异表明了刺槐对其生长环境的适应.     

Generation of Negative Air Ions by Plants upon Pulsed Electrical Stimulation Applied to Soil

Generation of negative air ions (NAI) by pot plants (aloe Aloe arborescens, haworthia Haworthia rasalata, echinopsis Echinopsis tubiflora, mammillaria Mammillaria prolifera, opuntia Opuntia brunnescens, spider plant Chlorophytum comosum, and jade plant Crassula portulacea) was studied when high-voltage pulses were applied to soil. Plants that generated low amounts of NAI (such as jade plant and echinopsis) elevated NAI level 2–3 times over the mean background level. Plants that produced moderate amounts of NAI (haworthia, opuntia, and mammillaria) increased the NAI level hundredfold, whereas highly active plants (aloe and spider plant) increased the NAI level thousand times. Aloe plants can maintain constant NAI concentration in the ambient air (125 ± 15 × 10³ ions/cm³) for a long time (7–8 h). Negative air ions were predominantly generated by the leaf tips. The capacity of aloe to produce NAI considerably reduced with plant age and was lost, although reversibly, at temperatures below 8.5°C. The rate of NAI generation considerably depended on weather conditions. It was demonstrated that superoxide anion radical is one of NAI species generated by plants.     

Study and application of a new adenosine electrode with thymus tissue.

A new adenosine-selective membrane electrode using rabbit thymus tissue as catalyst is described. A typical response slope of 51.2 mV per concentration decade is observed over a linear range which extends from 3.16 x 10(-5) M to 5.62 x 10(-3) M. Detection limits of 2.99 x 10(-5) M have been established. Measured response times are 7 min. The coefficient of variation ranged from 1 to 5.62% (n = 7, m = 5). Fourteen compounds were specifically tested as possible interferents, but no significant response was observed. The standard recoveries of adenosine were from 95.3 to 104.0% (m = 5, n = 5), and the recoveries of adenosine in rabbit blood ranged from 94.0 to 108.4% (n = 3, m = 5) over the linear range. This tissue-based biosensor has excellent sensitivity and selectivity, and has additional advantages of simplicity and low cost. The biosensor can be used to measure directly the concentration of adenosine in body fluid samples without sample processing.     

Use of plant leaf as CO2 gas sensing probe

Intracellular potential (ICP) of a spiderwort (Commelina communis) leaf drastically changed to CO₂ gas exposure. A leaf of C. communis was attached on a slide glass under a microscope. The stem of the leaf was dipped in a bathing solution composed of 0.1 M phosphate buffer (K₂HPO₄-KH₂PO₄, pH6.5) and 0.1 M NH₄Cl.The ICP was measured with a glass capillary electrode referred to another electrode dipped in the bathing solution. When CO₂ gas was applied to the leaf under illumination, the ICP shifted sharply to the negative direction about 100mV, and then turned towards the positive direction. Finally the ICP reached a level about 50 mV higher than the initial level. When CO₂ supply was stopped, the ICP returned to the initial level immediately.When light was shielded or CO₂ concentration was decreased lower than 20%, the response curve showed a single phase. The intensity of the response was positively correlated with CO₂ concentration lower than 20% both under illumination and shielded conditions. In contrast, no response was observed, when N₂ gas or air (CO₂ content is 0.03%) was applied independent of light conditions. The responsiveness to CO₂ maintained for 10 days being set still on the slide glass. These results demonstrate the promising property of plant leaf as a CO₂ gas sensing element.

Nylon-linamarase electrode for rapid determination of linamarin

Summary An enzyme electrode was constructed using cassava leaf linamarase covalently linked via polyethyleneimine to Hybond-N nylon. The nylon-enzyme electrode response was Nerstian for linamarin range of 0.1 to 20 mM. A steady state reading could be obtained within 4 to 6 mins. The nylon-enzyme discs could be reused. Compared to the previously reported enzyme electrode prepared by entrappment of linamarase in ENT-4000 prepolymer resins, the nylon-enzyme electrode gave faster response and could save analysis time by 60%.     

人工控制条件下9种园林植物叶功能性状对短期NO2污染的响应

叶功能性状能反映植物对环境变化的适应策略,利用开顶式熏气法,对9种常见园林植物进行为期20天的NO₂熏气实验,分析不同NO₂浓度熏气下叶片形态结构指标（单叶干重、单叶面积、比叶面积）、光合生理指标（光合速率、荧光参数）及化学性状指标（叶N含量、叶P含量、N：P比值）的差异,从而探讨以上植物叶性状对NO₂污染的短期响应。结果表明,不同植物叶性状对不同浓度NO₂污染的响应存在显著差异,即不同植物应对NO₂污染的适应策略不同,同种植物在不同浓度NO₂熏气下叶性状指标变化趋势相同,但变化幅度不同,可见同种植物对不同NO₂浓度的响应策略也存在差异;大部分叶性状指标间表现出显著的相关性,但叶N含量与比叶面积间未发现显著相关性,表明叶经济谱性状间权衡机制的稳定性在个体尺度上可能会发生改变。研究结果揭示了不同植物对NO₂污染的适应与响应差异,对预测城市NO₂污染可能带来的植物功能性状的协同进化以及植物生态策略的改变具有重要意义。
