钙对植物抗逆能力的影响及其生态学意义

随着酸雨的蔓延和化学氮肥用量的增加,土壤酸化日趋严重,钙流失不断加剧,而含钙肥料却因高浓度复合肥比重的增加(磷铵取代含钙磷肥)而不断下降,使钙供应与植物需要的矛盾日渐突出.文中简述了钙对植物抗酸、盐、氨、重金属、渍害、冷害、热害、病害及酸雨等能力的影响,以及维持土壤钙供应的措施,指出植物生长过程中分泌的酸是施肥引起土壤酸化的主要原因.根系分泌酸能力强的田菁改良盐碱土的重要机理之一是促进土壤钙的活化,增强后季作物的抗盐能力.降水中氮素含量的增加,促进了林木的生长,并使其他元素缺乏,易加剧根际酸化,可能是一些工业化地区森林退化的重要机制.基于钙在植物抗逆中的作用,建议在肥料试验设计中增加施钙的空白对照区,以便将钙的效应从其它处理效应中区分出来.磷铵不应作为我国磷肥工业的发展方向.     

西安市常见绿化植物叶片润湿性能及其影响因素

利用接触角测定仪测定了西安市21种常见绿化植物叶片表面的接触角,探讨了叶片表面特性如蜡质、绒毛、气孔对接触角的影响。结果表明,植物叶片正背面、物种间的接触角差异均显著,叶片正面和背面接触角大小在40°～140°。接触角大小与变异系数呈负相关,可能由于接触角小的润湿叶片在不同的生境和位置下,受到环境条件的影响较大而出现大的变异;接触角较大的非润湿性叶片,环境物质持留时间较短,对叶片形态和组成影响较小,因而出现小的变异。植物叶片表面的接触角随蜡质含量的升高而增大。表皮蜡质去除后大部分叶片接触角明显降低,尤其是疏水性较强的银杏(Ginkgo biloba)、月季(Ro-sa chinensis)和紫叶小檗(Berberis thunbergii)。女贞(Ligustrum lucidum)正背面、加杨(Popu-lus canadensis)背面等亲水型的叶片蜡质去除后接触角反而增大。叶片绒毛的多少及其形态、分布方式对接触角具有重要的影响,不同的作用方式表现出润湿和不润湿的特征,人为将其去除可以增加叶片的润湿性。背面气孔密度与气孔长度、保卫细胞长度呈负相关;接触角则与气孔密度呈负相关,与气孔长度呈正相关。

Influence of epiphytic micro-organisms on leaf wettability: wetting of the upper leaf surface of Juglans regia and of model surfaces in relation to colonization by micro-organisms

Wetting of the upper leaf surface of Juglans regia L. and of model surfaces colonized by epiphytic micro-organisms was investigated by measuring contact angles of aqueous solutions buffered at different pH values. During June to October 1995, contact angles of aqueous solutions on the leaf surface of J. regia decreased by angles ranging from 12° (low pH values) to 25° at high pH values. At the end of this vegetation period, wetting was strongly dependent on pH showing significantly lower contact angles with alkaline solutions (pH 9·0) than with acidic solutions (pH 3·0). Contact angle titration measured angles on the leaf surface as a function of the pH of buffered aqueous solutions, covering a pH range from 3·0 to 11·0. Titration curves revealed inflection points around 7·5, indicating the existence of ionizable carboxylic groups at the interface of the phylloplane. Altered leaf-surface wetting properties observed on the intact leaf surface could be simulated in model experiments by measuring contact angles on artificial surfaces colonized by Pseudomonas fluorescens and by epiphytic micro-organisms isolated from the phylloplane of J. regia . Strong evidence is provided that interfacial carboxylic groups derive from epiphytic micro-organisms present on the phylloplane. Results suggest that the age-dependent increase in, and pH dependence of, wetting as leaves mature are related to the presence of epiphytic micro-organisms on the phylloplane. Ecological consequences of increased leaf-surface wetting, concerning the structure of the leaf surface as a microhabitat for epiphytic micro-organisms, are discussed.     

干旱区植物叶片大小对叶表面蒸腾及叶温的影响

利用热及物质交换原理, 并结合前人研究成果, 在单叶尺度上建立了简单的叶温和水气蒸腾模型。模型通过预设值驱动, 预设值参照干旱区环境及植物叶片特征设置。模拟结果显示: 随气孔阻力的增加, 叶片蒸腾速率降低, 叶温升高; 同一环境下, 具有低辐射吸收率的叶片蒸腾速率和叶温更低, 并且气孔阻力越大, 这种差异越明显。另外, 叶片宽度及风速是影响叶片蒸腾及叶温的重要因子。干旱地区植物生长季节, 风速小于0.1 m·s ^-1、气孔阻力接近1000 s·m ^-1时, 降低叶片宽度不仅有利于降低叶片温度, 而且能够降低叶片蒸腾速率, 从而实现保持水分, 增强植物适应高温、干旱的能力。

Controlled Cell Patterning on Bioactive Surfaces with Special Wettability

The ability to control cell patterning on artificial substrates with various physicochemical properties is of essence for important implications in cytology and biomedical fields.Despite extensive progress,the ability to control the cell-surface interaction is complicated by the complexity in the physiochemical features ofbioactive surfaces.In particular,the manifestation of special wettability rendered by the combination of surface roughness and surface chemistry further enriches the cell-surface interaction.Herein we investigated the cell adhesion behaviors of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) on topographically patterned but chemically homogeneous surfaces.Hamessing the distinctive cell adhesion on surfaces with different topography,we further explored the feasibility of controlled cell patterning using periodic lattices of alternative topographies.We envision that our method provides a designer's toolbox to manage the extracellular environment.     

Walking patterns of Trichogramma chilonis and Trichogrammatoidea bactrae upon vegetable leaf surfaces

Trichogramma chilonis Ishii (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) and Trichogrammatoidea bactrae Nagaraja (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) are egg parasitoids of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae). We observed and recorded the walking patterns of T. chilonis and T. bactrae females on leaves of Raphanus sativus L., Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. et Coss., Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis var. utilis Tsen et Lee, and Brassica oleracea L. Our analysis indicated that Trichogramma females spent more time and moved more slowly on R. sativus leaf surface, compared with the other vegetable leaf surfaces. In addition, Trichogramma females were more likely to walk in straight line on B. oleracea leaf surfaces than R. sativus, B. juncea, and B. campestris leaf surface. Compared to T. bactrae females, T. chilonis females spent significantly less time on the leaf surface, and the walking path of T. chilonis was less affected by leaf surface characters (e.g., trichomes, wrinkle, and waxes). During the period of residence on the leaf surface, parasitoid females spent more than 87.8% of their time moving. This study demonstrates that vegetable leaf surface can influence Trichogramma's walking pattern while they are foraging for hosts.     

Effects of Methanol on Wettability of the Non-Smooth Surface on Butterfly Wing

The contact angles of distilled water and methanol solution on the wings of butterflies were determined by a visual contact angle measuring system. The scale structures of the wings were observed using scanning electron microscopy, The influence of the scale micro- and ultra-structure on the wettability was investigated. Results show that the contact angle of distilled water on the wing surfaces varies from 134.0° to 159.2°. High hydrophobicity is found in six species with contact angles greater than 150°. The wing surfaces of some species are not only hydrophobic but also resist the wetting by methanol solution with 55% concentration. Only two species in Parnassius can not resist the wetting because the micro-structure （spindle-like shape） and ultra-structure （pinnule-like shape） of the wing scales are remarkably different from that of other species. The concentration of methanol solution for the occurrence of spreading/wetting on the wing surfaces of different species varies from 70% to 95%. After wetting by methanol solution for 10 min, the distilled water contact angle on the wing surface increases by 0.8°-2.1°, showing the promotion of capacity against wetting by distilled water.
