纹沼螺对苦草生长的影响

在室外受控实验条件下,研究了不同密度(0,150,450个/m2)纹沼螺(Parafossarulus striatulus)对沉水植物苦草(Vallisneria spiralis)生长的影响。结果表明,螺类牧食活动促进了苦草生长,与无螺对照组相比,低密度螺处理组中苦草的相对生长率、株高均增加了20%;高密度组中苦草的相对生长率、叶片数和株高分别增加了28%、15%和27%。分析表明,纹沼螺通过牧食活动降低植物叶片上附着生物干重,从而促进了苦草生长。丰富了螺-草互利关系的研究内容,有助于加深理解水生态系统中生物之间的生态关系。     

螺类与着生藻类的相互作用及其对沉水植物的影响

浅水湖泊的富营养化常导致水生植被的退化与浮游藻类的爆发［１０,１８,２９］。可利用光通常是决定沉水植物分布、生物量和生产力的最重要因子,因此,伴随高营养负荷的浮游藻类繁殖,极大地削弱了沉水植物的光合能力［２０］。然而,Ｐｈｉｌｉｐｓ等人［２８］认为,...     

螺类牧食与沉积物类型对苦草生长的影响

在室外实验条件下,研究了螺类牧食与沉积物类型对苦草生长的影响。结果表明:椭圆萝卜螺的牧食对苦草生长有显著影响,牧食损害使苦草的相对生长率明显降低、块茎数量及重量下降。沉积物类型对苦草生长也有明显影响,苦草的相对生长率在营养盐相对丰富的湖泥处理组中要远高于岸泥处理组,而根须数与块茎重量在湖泥处理组中显著低于岸泥处理组。螺类牧食与沉积物类型对苦草的各项生长指标无明显交互作用。     

螺类牧食对伊乐藻与苦草种间关系的影响

动物牧食可以调节植物种间的相对竞争能力,从而改变物种在群落中的竞争地位.外来植物伊乐藻生长迅速、具有较强的光竞争能力,土著种苦草根系发达、具有较强的地下资源竞争能力.选择这两种各具竞争特色的沉水植物为模式生物,通过室外受控实验研究了螺类牧食对两种沉水植物种间关系的影响.结果表明:不管有无螺类牧食,伊乐藻的相对生长率为苦草的2～5倍,伊乐藻具有明显的竞争优势.苦草低密度种植时,螺类牧食与种间竞争对其生长没有显著影响;高密度种植时,螺类牧食活动促进了苦草的生长,种间竞争则使苦草的生长率明显降低.无论伊乐藻种植密度如何,螺类牧食均使其生长率明显降低,混栽高密度的苦草也能抑制伊乐藻生长.探讨了螺类牧食对沉水植物的种间竞争关系的作用机理.     

氮磷负荷比对浅水湖泊初级生产者的影响

为研究氮磷营养负荷比值(N︰P)的升高对浅水湖泊初级生产者的影响, 在种植刺苦草的模拟系统中, 保证磷(P)负荷不变, 不断增加氮(N)负荷, 设置三种N︰P 比(0︰1、20︰1 和40︰1), 比较不同N︰P 负荷条件下, 浮游植物、附着藻类和沉水植物的生长情况。研究结果表明: 三种不同的N︰P 负荷条件下, 上覆水中总氮(TN)和硝态氮(NO3 – -N)含量随着N︰P 的升高呈现增加的趋势, 总磷(TP)则下降。浮游植物和附着藻类生物量在N︰P 比为20︰1 时出现最大值,显著高于其它两个处理组; 刺苦草的生物量在实验结束时显著增加, 但各处理间没有显著差异。以上结果表明, N︰P 升高能够促进浮游植物与附着藻类的生长, 但超过20︰1 会抑制其生长, 而N︰P 的变化对沉水植物没有显著影响。     

微囊藻毒素对沉水植物苦草生长发育的影响

MC RR抑制大型沉水植物苦草 (Vallisnerianatans (Lour.)Hara .)的生长和发育。在 0 0 0 0 1— 10mg/L的浓度下 ,苦草种子的发芽、子叶生长、真叶的形成和生长、不定根的形成和生长以及根毛的生长都受到了一定的抑制作用。当MC RR浓度≥ 0 .1mg/L时 ,处理第 30d ,MC RR对苦草鲜重和第一片真叶的生长有极显著的抑制作用 ,当MC RR浓度为 10mg/L时 ,根的生长和叶片的发生也受到了极显著的抑制作用     

蓝藻堆积和螺类牧食对苦草生长的影响

设计了双因素四组处理(对照组,加螺组,加藻组,螺藻组)的室外受控实验,模拟湖泊沿岸带水华蓝藻的堆积以及底栖螺类的牧食活动对沉水植物苦草生长的影响。结果表明:蓝藻堆积(水体叶绿素a浓度为220μg/L)对苦草的生长具有明显的抑制作用,和对照组以及加螺组相比,加藻组和螺藻组中苦草的相对生长率分别下降了40.9%和36.4%,分株数也分别下降了56.4%和64.1%,分析认为蓝藻在水体表层堆积所产生的遮光可能是抑制底层苦草生长的主要原因。然而,环棱螺能在一定程度上促进苦草的生长,加螺组和螺藻组中苦草的相对生长率和分株数分别要明显高于对照组和加藻组,这可能要归因于螺类的牧食去除了沉水植物表面附着生物。实验中蓝藻堆积和螺类牧食对苦草的各项生长指标均无显著的交互作用,但蓝藻对苦草生长的抑制作用要远大于螺类对植物生长的促进作用。研究证实了在富营养浅水湖泊中,水华蓝藻在湖泊沿岸带的堆积会严重胁迫沉水植物的生长,而底栖螺类的牧食活动则能在一定程度上提高植物在不良环境下的生存能力。     

不同氮源对苦草(Vallisneria natans)生长及生理指标的影响

通过实验室静态模拟,研究了在富营养条件下(4.0 mg.L-1TN,0.2 mg.L-1TP)不同比例铵态氮和硝态氮(6∶0、5∶1、3∶3、1∶5和0∶6)对苦草〔Vallisneria natans(Lour.)Hara〕的生长与生理指标的影响。结果表明,随着铵态氮和硝态氮比例的下降,苦草相对生长率和蛋白质含量先升高后下降,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和谷氨酰胺合成酶(GS)活性逐渐下降,硝酸还原酶(NR)活性逐渐升高。在4.0 mg.L-1TN和0.2 mg.L-1TP条件下,若不考虑磷的作用,高浓度铵态氮对苦草的生理功能有影响,对其生长有明显的抑制作用;而当铵态氮浓度小于0.67 mg.L-1时却可以促进苦草的生长。     

蓝藻胁迫条件下不同基质类型对苦草和伊乐藻生长的影响

为探讨蓝藻胁迫条件下沉水植物生长与基质营养含量的关系,研究了添加相同含量蓝藻后2 种不同基质(较贫瘠的黄色粘土和较肥沃的黑色淤泥)对苦草和伊乐藻2 种沉水植物生长的影响。结果表明:与伊乐藻相比,苦草的生物量在粘土条件下高于淤泥条件,而基质类型对伊乐藻生物量没有显著影响;苦草的最大叶片长度(用于表征株高)、无性系新株数目及其干物质重和伊乐藻的株高、分株数目和分枝干物质重也是在粘土条件下高于淤泥条件;苦草的最大根长在粘土条件下显著高于淤泥条件(p<0.05)。研究结果表明在蓝藻胁迫的条件下,高营养含量的基质不利于沉水植物的生长,并且对根生型沉水植物苦草的影响要大于假根沉水植物伊乐藻。     

不同盐度对苦草生理特征的影响

沉水植物耐盐性研究越来越受到人们高度重视。在室内模拟条件下,水体盐度设为2、3、4、5、6和8,及不加盐卤的对照组(记为0),每24 h测定苦草(Vallisneria natans)叶片叶绿素含量,SOD、POD和CAT 3种抗氧化酶活性,MDA含量及呼吸强度。结果表明:叶绿素a、叶绿素b含量和CAT酶活性随盐度增加呈降低趋势;SOD、POD酶活性、MDA含量随盐度增加呈先升后降趋势;盐度为2和3时叶绿素含量、抗氧化酶酶活性、MDA含量和呼吸强度与对照组相比差异性不显著(P>0.05),苦草生长状态较其它处理组好;盐度为4时,所测叶绿素含量、抗氧化酶活性和呼吸强度与对照组相比差异性显著(P<0.05),叶绿素含量明显降低,抗氧化酶活性升高,表现出了明显的抗逆性,呼吸强度降低;盐度为5、6和8时与对照组相比,苦草生长状态较差,并逐步枯萎,第4 d死亡。因此苦草可应用于盐度低于3水体中沉水植被的恢复与重建。     

猕猴桃观花品种‘江山娇’与中华猕猴桃回交后代的性别分离与开花性状变异

以猕猴桃种间杂种品种‘江山娇’（Actinidia chinensis Planch×A.eriantha Benth）与中华猕猴桃（A.chinensis Planch）雄株杂交得到的杂交后代群体为实验材料,于2012、2013和2016年分别对该群体的雌雄性别比及其开花性状进行了调查。结果表明,杂交群体的雌雄性别比例小于1：1,即雄株偏多。杂交后代的花瓣颜色以红色为基础,但红色的分布区域、深浅及类型出现明显分离。聚类分析显示,这些杂交后代可通过花瓣CMYK色卡取值分为4个类群,其中猩红色与紫罗兰红色2个变异类型与观察表型完全一致。杂交后代群体的始花期、开花天数、花朵大小、开花量及单花花瓣数等性状均出现广泛分离,且因不同年份而出现变化。群体中杂交个体进入始花期的平均时间跨度为14 d,群体的始花期进入高峰时个体平均比例仅占群体的25.5%。2016年群体开花时间最长,最多有47.4%的个体开放10~13 d;2013年杂交群体的开放时间最短,有55.2%的后代开花3~5 d。本研究筛选出一批花瓣数多、花朵较大或单花序花朵较多的优良单株,并在后代群体中共发现21个含不同花数的花序组合类型。     

Effects of tuber size and burial depth on germination and plant growth of the submerged macrophyte Vallisneria spinulosa S.Z. Yan at different light intensities

Isolation and characterization of a set of microsatellite loci in the submerged macrophyte,Vallisneria spinulosa Yan (Hydrocharitaceae)

Twenty‐six microsatellites were isolated and characterized from an AAG‐enriched genomic library of Vallisneria spinulosa, a dominant submerged macrophyte in the middle‐lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Microsatellite polymorphism was evaluated in a random population and 11 microsatellite loci were found polymorphic with 2–18 alleles per locus and observed heterozygosity ranging from 0.281 to 1.000. These polymorphic markers were expected to be valuable for population genetic and demographic analyses of V. spinulosa.     

Differential effects of water depth and sediment type on clonal growth of the submersed macrophyte <Emphasis Type="Italic">Vallisneria natans</Emphasis>

The response of clonal growth and ramet morphology to water depth (from 60 to 260 cm) and sediment type (sand versus organic clay) was investigated for the stoloniferous submersed macrophyte Vallisneria natans in an outdoor pond experiment. Results showed that water depth significantly affected clonal growth of V. natans in terms of clone weight, number of ramets, number of generations, clonal radius and stolon length. V. natans showed an optimal clonal growth at water depths of 110–160 cm, but at greater depths clonal growth was severely retarded. A high allometric effect was exhibited in ramet morphology. Along the sequentially produced ramet generations, ramet weight and plant height decreased while stolon length and the root:leaf weight ratio increased. When using ramet generations as covariate, sediment type rather than water depth more strongly affected the ramet characteristics. For plants grown in clay, ramet weight, ramet height and stolon length were greater, and plants exhibited lower root:leaf weight ratio. These data suggest that water depth and sediment type have differential effects on clonal growth of V. natans: Water depth appears primarily to affect numerical increase in ramets and spatial spread, whereas sediment type mainly affects biomass accumulation and biomass allocation.

Effects of different macrophyte growth forms on sediment and P resuspension in a shallow lake

The effects of floating-leaved, submerged and emergent macrophytes on sediment resuspension and internal phosphorus loading were studied in the shallow Kirkkojärvi basin by placing sedimentation traps among different plant beds and adjacent open water and by sediment and water samples. All the three life forms considerably reduced sediment resuspension compared with non-vegetated areas. Both among submerged (Ceratophyllum demersum, Potamogeton obtusifolius, Ranunculus circinatus) and emergent (Typha angustifolia) plants, resuspension rate was on average 43% of that in the adjacent open water, while within floating-leaved plants (Nuphar lutea) the corresponding value was 87%. The effects of submerged and emergent vegetation increased in the course of the growing season together with increasing plant density. Among floating-leaved vegetation, such seasonal trend in resuspension effects was not observed. Compared with the non-vegetated area, floating-leaved, submerged and emergent plants reduced internal phosphorus loading on average by 21, 12 and 26 mg m⁻² d⁻¹, respectively. The effects of floating-leaved plants on resuspension-mediated internal phosphosrus loading were thus comparable to the effects of the other two life forms.

Effects of water turbulence on variations in cell ultrastructure and metabolism of amino acids in the submersed macrophyte,Elodea nuttallii (Planch.) H. St. John

The interactions between macrophytes and water movement are not yet fully understood, and the causes responsible for the metabolic and ultrastructural variations in plant cells as a consequence of turbulence are largely unknown. In the present study, growth, metabolism and ultrastructural changes were evaluated in the aquatic macrophyte Elodea nuttallii, after exposure to turbulence for 30 days. The turbulence was generated with a vertically oscillating horizontal grid. The turbulence reduced plant growth, plasmolysed leaf cells and strengthened cell walls, and plants exposed to turbulence accumulated starch granules in stem chloroplasts. The size of the starch granules increased with the magnitude of the turbulence. Using capillary electrophoresis–mass spectrometry (CE‐MS), analysis of the metabolome found metabolite accumulation in response to the turbulence. Asparagine was the dominant amino acid that was concentrated in stressed plants, and organic acids such as citrate, ascorbate, oxalate and γ‐amino butyric acid (GABA) also accumulated in response to turbulence. These results indicate that turbulence caused severe stress that affected plant growth, cell ultrastructure and some metabolic functions of E. nuttallii. Our findings offer insights to explain the effects of water movement on the functions of aquatic plants.
