夜间低温对生长在两种光强下两个芒果品种的气体交换和叶绿素荧光的影响

研究了夜间低温对两个芒果(Mangifera indica)品种翡翠芒(Khieo Sawoei)和四季芒(Choke Anand)光合生理的影响.两个芒果品种的幼茼盆栽于全光和50%相对光强下一年.在第二年的冬季,连续7天晚上将芒果幼苗移到4℃的冷库中,白大保持原条件.于低温处理前、处理期间和结束低温处理后10天中测定芒果幼苗的光合生理特征.结果表明,夜间低温导致两个芒果品种的净光合速率、气孔导度和光系统Ⅱ的最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)降低、非光化学猝灭(NPQ)上升.夜间低温对生长在全光下的芒果幼苗光合作用的抑制比50%光下的更重.翡翠芒的Fv/Fm比四季芒下降的更多,但后者的NPQ上升更多.夜间低温还导致两种光下芒果幼苗叶片的叶绿素含量下降,类胡萝卜素/叶绿素比值、丙二醛含量、膜的透性和可溶性化合物(可溶性总糖和脯氨酸)上升.解除低温胁迫后,四季芒Fv/Fm的恢复比翡翠芒的快.解除低温胁迫7天后二者的F发、Fv/Fm能完全恢复.上述结果表明,翡翠芒对低温更敏感,遮荫可以明显缓解两个芒果品种低温引起的光抑制.     

Enhancement of Yield,Grain Quality Characters, 2-Acetyl-1-Pyrroline Content,and Photosynthesis of Fragrant Rice Cultivars by Foliar Application of Paclobutrazol

Paclobutrazol is a well-known plant growth regulator. However, the application of paclobutrazol in fragrant rice production has not been reported. The present study conducted a field experiment with two cropping seasons and three fragrant rice cultivars to investigate the effects of paclobutrazol application on yield formation, grain quality, 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP, key component of fragrant rice aroma) biosynthesis, and photosynthesis of fragrant rice. At the initial heading stage, paclobutrazol solutions at 0 (control), 30, 60, 100, and 120 mg L^?1 were foliar applied to fragrant rice plants, respectively. Compared with control, paclobutrazol treatments significantly (P?<?0.05) increased grain yield and seed-setting rate of fragrant rice cultivars by 6.77–22.82% and 5.09–25.66%, respectively. Increased contents of photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoid) and the improved net photosynthetic rate at the grain-filling stage were observed due to paclobutrazol treatments. The paclobutrazol application increased head rice rate and grain 2-AP content by 3.94–8.94% and 6.47–18.80%, respectively. Lower chalky rice rate and chalkiness were recorded in paclobutrazol treatment than in control. Moreover, foliar application of paclobutrazol increased proline and Δ1-pyrroline contents in fragrant rice by 7.90–32.12% and 13.21–34.90%. Overall, foliar application of paclobutrazol could enhance productivity, improve grain quality, and increase the 2-AP content of fragrant rice, and 100–120 mg L^?1 was considered the suggested concentration of paclobutrazol application in fragrant rice production.

     

Characteristics of chlorophyll fluorescence and antioxidative system in super-hybrid rice and its parental cultivars under chilling stress

Characteristics of chlorophyll fluorescence and antioxidative system were investigated in rice (Oryza sativa L.) super-hybrid Liangyoupeijiu (LYPJ), maternal cultivar Peiai64s, and paternal cultivar indica rice 9311 under chilling stress. During 6-d chilling treatment, chlorophyll content of all three genotypes was gradually declined. However, the decrease in photosystem 2 (PS 2) maximum photochemical efficiency (F_v/F_m) and quantum yield of PS 2 (Φ_PS2) was less expressive in LYPJ than in parental cultivars The electrolyte leakage and malondialdehyde content in all cultivars increased after chilling treatment, but LYPJ exhibited the least increasing tendency. Activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR) were higher in LYPJ than in parental cultivars. The results demonstrated that tolerance to chilling stress in LYPJ might be adopted mostly from its maternal cultivar.     

水稻低温冷害综合评估方法

基于灰色关联分析法,将水稻不同生育期的冷害致灾因子值和产量结构性状、水稻不同生育期的产量结构性状和最终产量分别视作两个灰色系统,通过寻找各个灰色系统的灰映射关系,建立基于多层次灰色关联分析法的水稻低温冷害综合评估模型;并构建了单站各生育期、全生育期的冷害综合评估指数和区域评估指数,对东北水稻主产区27个站1961—2015年水稻冷害进行分生育期评估.结果表明: 水稻冷害影响程度与各生育期产量丰歉能够较好对应.营养生长期、营养和生殖生长并进期、授粉结实期或满浆期受到冷害影响时,株穗数、平均穗粒数或千粒重有一定减少,空壳率有所增加.典型冷害年温度与单站或区域产量丰歉有较好的对应关系.     

外源施加AsA和MeJA对乙烯利诱导水稻叶片衰老的影响

以野生型水稻(Oryza sativa)株系中花11(ZH-11)及其抗坏血酸合成关键酶基因GLDH下调株系(GI-2)为材料,研究了外源抗坏血酸(AsA)与茉莉酸甲酯(MeJA)对乙烯利诱导下水稻叶片早衰现象的影响。结果表明,外源AsA提高了水稻GI-2中的抗坏血酸含量、Rubisco含量及叶绿素的含量,减缓了其光合特性参数的下降速率,但对水稻ZH-11没有显著影响。外源MeJA降低了两株系的抗坏血酸、Rubisco及叶绿素含量,加快了叶内光合特性参数的下降速率,且对ZH-11的影响大于GI-2。因此,外源AsA处理能有效缓解乙烯利诱导的水稻叶片早衰现象,使叶片的衰老进程得以延缓,而外源MeJA作用相反。     

The role of salicylic acid in response of two rice cultivars to chilling stress

Two rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars differing in chilling sensitivity, Changbaijiu (chilling-tolerant) and Zhongjian (chilling-sensitive) were pre-treated with 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mM salicylic acid (SA) for 24 h before chilling at 5°C for 1 d. Chilling induced SA accumulation, particularly conjugated SA in both leaves and roots of the two rice cultivars. After SA administration, SA accumulated in the roots of both cultivars at a concentration-dependent manner, whereas only a slight increase was observed in their leaves. Conjugated SA accounted for most of the increase. The beneficial effect of SA treatment on protecting rice seedlings from chilling injury was not observed at any concentration in either cultivar. Pre-treatment with SA even decreased their chilling tolerance confirmed by increased electrolyte leakage and lipid peroxidation. Further, most of the activities of antioxidant enzymes decreased or remained unchanged in leaves and roots of SA pre-treated seedlings after chilling. These results implied that down-regulation of antioxidant defence might be involved in the reduction of chilling tolerance in SA-pre-treated plants.     

Growth stage-based modulation in antioxidant defense system and proline accumulation in two hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars differing in salinity tolerance

Changes in the antioxidant defense system and proline accumulation were examined at different growth stages (vegetative, boot and reproductive) in plants of two hexaploid spring wheat cultivars (S-24, salt tolerant; MH-97, salt sensitive), grown in hydroponics and salinity-affected with 0, 50, 100 and 150 mM of NaCl. Salt stress provoked a marked decline in plant dry mass and ascorbic acid contents, and increased proline, total soluble proteins and H₂O₂ contents in both wheat cultivars at all growth stages. However, higher accumulation of proline and H₂O₂ contents was recorded at the vegetative and boot stages, respectively, in both wheat cultivars. Salt stress caused a consistent rise in the activities of some key antioxidant enzymes (CAT, SOD, POD, and APX) at all growth stages only in the salt tolerant cultivar S-24, whereas such pattern of enhanced activities of enzymatic antioxidants in cv. MH-97 was found only at the vegetative stage under saline regimes. Maximum activities of various enzymatic antioxidants were observed at the vegetative stage in both wheat cultivars under varying external salt treatments. The results showed that high salinity tolerance of cv. S-24, as manifested by lower decrease in its dry matter under salt stress, was associated with higher activities of antioxidant enzymes, increased accumulation of proline, and lower levels of H₂O₂, as compared with cv. MH-97 at all growth stages under saline regimes.

Effect of Chilling on Photosynthesis in Flag Leaves at Primary Heading Stage of F1 Hybrid Rice Cultivars and Their Parental Lines (Three Lines)

With the purpose of selecting and breeding cold stress tolerance of hybrid rice cultivars, the effect of chilling on five hybrid rice combinations was investigated. The results indicated that the cold tolerance of different hybrid rice varieties were different. The order of the cold tolerance as the degrees of inhibition of maximum photosynthetic rate and of apparent quantum yield of flag leaves at primary heading stage by chilling was as follows: The cold tolerance of Japanica type Xiuyou-57 was the highest then lndica type Qing-Youzao followed by Shangyou-63, Shangyou-64 and Weiyou-64. The cold tolerance of Fx hybrid rice was similar to that of the maternal lines and not similar to the paternal lines. The cold tolerance of maintainer lines was similar to that of the male sterile lines. The tests on the survival rate of hybrid rice seedlings after chilling treatment also showed a similar re gular patterns. These indicated that the responses by the chilling temperature in these five hybrid combinations were exactly the same in the Seedling stage as well as in the late growing stage. The results of these experiments on the impact of selecting and breeding cold tolerance in hybrid rice were discussed.

Responses of Rice Cultivars to the Elevated CO2

The effect of CO₂ concentration elevated to 575 – 620 µmol mol^–1 on growth, tillering, grain yield, net photosynthetic rate, dark respiration rate, stomatal conductance, sugar content and protein profile of two rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars Pusa Basmati-1 and Pusa-677 at flowering stage was studied using open top chambers. The cultivar Pusa Basmati-1 responded more markedly for most of the growth and physiological parameters compared to Pusa-677. The increase in grain yield in Pusa Basmati-1 attributed largely to increased grain number. The increased net photosynthetic rate and greater accumulation of sugar contributed significantly to the accelerated development of leaves and tillers in both the cultivars. The reduction in the low molecular mass proteins including Rubisco and increase in high molecular mass photosystem 2 proteins was observed in both the cultivars. Additional sugars may possibly help in balancing the profile of photosynthetic proteins and sustain greater growth and productivity in rice cultivars.     

Anther Respiratory Activity and Chilling Resistance in Rice

The respiration of anthers in several rice cultivars differingin chilling resistance was analysed with Arrhenius plots. Theplots for respiration of mature anthers showed linearity ina temperature range between 7 and 35?C, whereas those of meioticanthers showed breaks at a temperature range between 18 and24?C. The break point in a given cultivar was nearly identicalto the temperature below which the meiotic anthers sufferedfrom chilling injury. The break in the Arrhenius plots indicatedthat the meiotic anthers were very susceptible to chilling.In addition, cultivars with relatively high chilling resistanceshowed lower critical temperatures for meiotic anther respirationthan those with relatively low resistance. Reciprocal F₁ hybridsbetween two cultivars with relatively high and low resistanceshowed almost the same respiratory parameters as those of theparent with high resistance, suggesting that the parameterswere inheritable as a dominant character. We postulate thatthere is a close correlation between the chilling sensitivityof anthers and the dependence of respiratory activity upon temperature,and that the critical temperature of meiotic anthers can betaken as an indicator of the degree of chilling resistance inrice plants.

Seed Setting and Its Spatial Characteristics in Tartary Buckwheat (<i>Fagopyrum tataricum</i>)

A low seed-setting rate is the main limiting factor influencing Tartary buckwheat production under high-yield cultivation conditions. To investigate the seed setting and its spatial characteristics, two Tartary buckwheat cultivars (high seed-setting rate cultivar Qianku 3; low seed-setting rate cultivar Liuku 3) were compared by a two-year field trial in 2017 and 2018. The results showed that the Tartary buckwheat underwent simultaneous flowering and fruiting. Flowers, generated from branch, were still blooming during the mature stage of grains on stem, which resulting in a greater number of flowers and grains on the branch than those on the stem at the low part of plant. The seed-setting characteristics significantly differed between two cultivars. The high seed-setting rate of Qianku 3 was 26.6% and 33.2% higher than Liuku 3 in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Meanwhile, Qianku 3 showed a higher filled grain number (157.8%) and seed-setting rate (66.4%) on branch than Liuku 3. A network analysis showed that the whole-plant seed-setting rate was positively correlated with grain number, which was closely correlated with flower number at the same position of plant. The path-coefficient analysis revealed that grains number on branches was the most dominant component (Path coefficient (P) = 2.19) of the seed-setting rate, followed by grains number on stem (P = 0.60). The grains number on branches showed the greatest positive direct effect with significant correlation (r = 0.76 and P < 0.01) on the seed-setting rate. Overall, the present study indicated that the grain number of branches may play a vital role in improving the seed-setting rate in Tartary buckwheat.

Localization of Chromosome Regions Controlling High Photosynthetic Potential in Russian Rice Cultivars

Breeding practice defined the main ways to increase crop yield: morphotype change, exploitation of heterosis, and increase in photosynthesis effectiveness. We identified donors and sources of high photosynthetic potential genetic system and polymorphic loci controlling photosynthetic efficiency in Russian rice cultivars. Thirty-two Russian rice cultivars were used as material. The content of chlorophyll a and b and carotenoids was measured at the beginning of tillering, heading, and flowering stages by a Genesys 8 spectrophotometer. Twenty plants of each cultivar in two replications were used for measurement. SSR markers were used. DNA was extracted by the STAB method. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and visualization of amplification products were performed under the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) protocol. Donors of high contents of each pigment were found. A high level of polymorphism for the loci connected with photosynthesis effectiveness in Russian rice cultivars will allow us to create new cultivars with improved characters by hybridization. Six markers significantly divided cultivar groups with different photosynthetic rate, three of them (RM154, RM600, RM5508) were related to the content of carotenoids, two markers (RM347, RM240) were related to specific leaf weight (SLW) control, and two others (RM154, RM509) were related to the chlorophyll a content.     

Responses of photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence and ROS-scavenging systems to salt stress during seedling and reproductive stages in rice

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Salinity is a widespread soil problem limiting productivity of cereal crops worldwide. Rice is particularly sensitive to salt stress during the seedling stage, with consequent poor crop establishment, as well as during reproduction where salinity can severely disrupt grain formation and yield. Tolerance at the seedling stage is weakly associated with tolerance during reproduction. Physiological responses to salinity were evaluated for contrasting genotypes, during the seedling and reproductive stages. METHODS: Three rice genotypes differing in their tolerance of salinity were evaluated in a set of greenhouse experiments under salt stress during both seedling stage and reproduction. KEY RESULTS: Photosynthetic CO2 fixation, stomatal conductance (gs) and transpiration decreased substantially because of salt stress, but with greater reduction in the sensitive cultivar IR29. The tolerant lines IR651 and IR632 had more responsive stomata that tended to close faster during the first few hours of stress, followed by partial recovery after a brief period of acclimation. However, in the sensitive line, gs continued to decrease for longer duration and with no recovery afterward. Chlorophyll fluorescence measurements revealed that non-photochemical quenching increased, whereas the electron transport rate decreased under salt stress. Salt-tolerant cultivars exhibited much lower lipid peroxidation, maintained elevated levels of reduced ascorbic acid and showed increased activities of the enzymes involved in the reactive oxygen scavenging system during both developmental stages. CONCLUSIONS: Upregulation of the anti-oxidant system appears to play a role in salt tolerance of rice, with tolerant genotypes also maintaining relatively higher photosynthetic function; during both the vegetative and reproductive stages.     

Diurnal and Seasonal Changes in Photosynthetic Characteristics in Different Olive (Olea europaea L.) Cultivars

Diurnal and seasonal changes in photosynthetic characteristics, leaf area dry mass (ADM), and reducing sugar and total chlorophyll (Chl) contents of leaves of Frantoio, Leccino, and Maurino olive cultivars were investigated in Central Italy. Leaf net photosynthetic rate (P _N) per unit leaf area changed during the growing season and during the day, but the cultivar did not significantly influence the changes. In both young and one-year-old leaves the highest P _N values were observed in October, while the lowest values were recorded in August and December; during the day the highest P _N values were generally found in the morning. The pattern of photosynthetic response to photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) of leaves was similar in the three genotypes. Sub-stomatal CO₂ concentration (C _I) tended to increase when P _N decreased. The increase in C _I was accompanied by a stomatal conductance to water vapor (g _S) decrease. In general, P _N and dark respiration rate (R _D) were correlated. Transpiration rate (E), with no differences between the cultivars, increased from April to July, decreased greatly in August, then increased in October and finally decreased again in December. Leaf water content increased from April to June, remained high until mid July, decreased significantly in August, remaining constant until December with no differences associated with the cultivar. In both young and one-year-old leaves, the leaf water content per unit leaf area was slightly greater in Frantoio than in the other two cultivars. The one-year-old leaves had a higher Chl content than the young ones. The cultivar did not substantially influence the leaf reducing sugar content which decreased from April to August, when it reached the lowest level, then increased rapidly until October. During the day the reducing sugar content did not change significantly. The leaf ADM was slightly higher in Frantoio than in the other cultivars and one-year-old leaves had higher values than the young ones. Leaf ADM decreased from April to June and then tended to increase until December. During the day there were no substantial variations.
