It was postulated that the release of lateral buds from apical dominance is triggered by the immediate increase in apoplastic water potential (hydrostatic pressure) that is produced by shoot decapitation and that is rapidly transmitted throughout the plant. In experiments conducted to test this hypothesis the use of a strain gauge transducer capable of measuring bud growth with an accuracy of ± 0.1 μm, showed that growth of the inhibited lateral bud at the primary leaf node of Phaseolus vulgaris (L.) ev. Canadian Wonder was initiated within 1 to 5 s following shoot decapitation or excision of the primary leaves. When only the apical bud was excised the lateral bud showed a brief, transitory growth response of ca 1 min duration, but the axillary buds of the first and second trifoliate leaves were released from inhibition. Decapitation of the shoot just below the first trifoliate leaf induced a lateral bud response characterized by three distinct stages: a) a rapid initial growth response with a mean duration of 4.9 min b) a period of arrested growth, which varied in duration from 2 min to 4 h and c) the subsequent resumption of growth.
Excision of both primary leaves induced a rapid but transitory bud response of considerably greater duration than that induced by apical bud excision. Excision of the primary leaves prior to decapitation of the shoot eliminated the phase of arrested growth, which characterized the bud response to decapitation of the intact plant. The rapidity of the bud response to both shoot decapitation and leaf excision and the interaction between the effect of these two treatments are consistent with the hypothesis that competition for water plays a major role in the correlative inhibition of lateral buds. 相似文献

When the upper part of main shoot of morning glory (Pharbitis nil) is gently bent down, lateral bud on the bending region is released from apical dominance and starts to elongate. But, clinorotating the bending shoots prevents the release of the lateral bud from apical dominance. These results suggest that gravity affects apical dominance in morning glory. Here we verified the gravity-regulated apical dominance by using a weeping morning glory defective in gravitropic response due to abnormal differentiation of endodermis. That is, bending main shoot of the weeping morning glory hardly caused the lateral bud to elongate. In addition, decapitation of apical bud released the lateral bud from apical dominance, and exogenous auxin applied to the cut surface of the decapitated stem was inhibitory to the outgrowth of the lateral bud in the wild type. However, the effect of auxin was much less in the weeping morning glory. Thus, apical dominance of the weeping morning glory was weaker and less influenced by gravity than that of the wild type, which could occur due to abnormal differentiation of endodermis required for graviperception. 相似文献

Coral morphological variability reflects either genetic differences or environmentally induced phenotypic plasticity. We present two coral species that sense gravity and accordingly alter their morphology, as characterized by their slenderness (height to diameter) ratio (SR). We experimentally altered the direction (and intensity) of the gravitational resultant force acting along or perpendicular to the main body axis of coral polyps. We also manipulated light direction, in order to uncouple gravity and light effects on coral development. In the experiments, vertically growing polyps had significantly higher SR than their horizontal siblings even when grown in a centrifuge (experiencing different resultant gravitational forces in proximal and distal positions). Lowest SR was in horizontal side-illuminated polyps, and highest in vertical top-illuminated polyps. Adult colonies in situ showed the same pattern. Gravitational intensity also affected polyp growth form. However, polyp volume, dry skeleton weight and density in the various centrifuge positions, and in aquaria experiments, did not differ significantly. This reflects the coral's ability to sense altered gravity direction and intensity, and to react by changing the development pattern of their body morphology, but not the amount of skeleton deposited. 相似文献

Based on a literature survey, we evaluated the periods of cyanobacterial dominance in Brazil. We hypothesized that variability of environmental forces along the country will promote or facilitate temporal and spatial mosaic in cyanobacterial dominance. The most striking outcomes are related to the dominance of Cylindrospermopsis, Dolichospermum, and Microcystis. Although they share important adaptive strategies (e.g., aerotopes, large size and toxins production), our findings suggest that they have different environmental preferences. Dolichospermum and Microcystis dominated mainly in warm-rainy periods whereas Cylindrospermopsis was more common during dry periods and in mixed systems, or formed perennial dominance. Maximum phosphorus concentrations were observed in reservoirs dominated by Cylindrospermopsis. Although the main genera reached high biomass levels individually, different abilities to form dominance and co-dominance were observed. The number of co-dominance of Chroococales and Nostocales was almost the same as the individual occurrence of the main genera from these groups. This dataset reveals patterns of dominance of these cyanobacteria and also indicates that physiological features will cause differences in the mechanisms of interactions between species. The understanding of these processes and their relationship to environmental conditions will promote better understanding of cyanobacterial dominance and increase our ability to predict and manage these events. 相似文献

Suzuki, T. 1990. Apical dominance in mulberry ( Morus alba ): Effects of position of lateral and accessory buds and leaves. – Physiol. Plant. 78: 468-474.
Removing apical portions of current growth coppice shoots from field-grown, low-pruned stumps of mulberry ( Morus alba L. cv. Shin-ichinose) caused sprouting of one or more upper main buds, almost concurrently with that of accessory buds. However, removal of the new sprouts, including those from accessory buds, slightly enhanced the sprouting of buds immediately below them, and did not affect buds lower down. In contrast, mature leaves inhibited the buds in their axils. Budless, leafy nodes on the upper part of pruned shoots tended to swell after treatment, perhaps due to the accumulation of substances translocated from the roots and possibly from the remaining leaves. Lateral buds at different positions along the shoot differed in their sprouting ability with buds lower on the shoot being more inhibited. This inhibition gradient dissappeared when all coppice shoots on one stump were pruned to the same bud position, suggesting inhibition from neighboring, actively growing shoots. These results demonstrate that acropetal influences are important in bud dominance relationships. 相似文献

Data from several thousand knockout mutations in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) were used to estimate the distribution of dominance coefficients. We propose a new unbiased likelihood approach to measuring dominance coefficients. On average, deleterious mutations are partially recessive, with a mean dominance coefficient ~0.2. Alleles with large homozygous effects are more likely to be more recessive than are alleles of weaker effect. Our approach allows us to quantify, for the first time, the substantial variance and skew in the distribution of dominance coefficients. This heterogeneity is so great that many population genetic processes analyses based on the mean dominance coefficient alone will be in substantial error. These results are applied to the debate about various mechanisms for the evolution of dominance, and we conclude that they are most consistent with models that depend on indirect selection on homeostatic gene expression or on the ability to perform well under periods of high demand for a protein. 相似文献

During the winter, female Three-toed Woodpeckers Picoides tridactylus , when unaccompanied by the male, foraged at a lower height above the ground and on tree trunks of greater diameter than when foraging together with a male. Among males, however, no such differences were found between those birds foraging in the absence of, or in company with, a female. The niche breadth of the males was less than that of the females, indicating a higher degree of specialization by the males. The niche overlap between the sexes was less when the birds foraged together in pairs, especially as regards foraging height and foraging site diameter. The intersexual segregation of foraging niche recorded for the Three-toed Woodpecker is therefore probably not determined genetically, but is due to social dominance by males which obliges the females to occupy the less preferred niche. Both sexes spent less time being vigilant when foraging together, than when alone. 相似文献

Summary Foliar analyses of Douglas fir needles was made in an attempt to evaluate soil fertility and productivity changes caused by logging and slash-burning. No statistically significant differences were found between means of nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium values of Douglas fir needles from trees growing on logged and logged and slash-burned areas. No nutrient deficiencies appeared in the needles from either area. Needle nutrient contens is compared with regional results in an attempt to estimate optimum levelt for Douglas fir trees. The importance of foliar analyses in determining soil fertility and productivity is discussed and avenues of approach for future studies are suggested. 相似文献

The effect of group size on the interplay between dominance and reproduction in Bombus terrestris 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Social insects provide good model systems for testing trade-offs in decision-making because of their marked reproductive skew and the dilemma workers face when to reproduce. Attaining reproductive skew requires energy investment in aggression or fertility signaling, creating a trade-off between reproduction and dominance. This may be density-dependent because the cost of achieving dominance may be higher in larger groups. We investigated the effect of group-size in B. terrestris queenless workers on two major reproduction-dominance correlates: between-worker aggression, and pheromone production, aiming at mimicking decision-making during the transition of worker behavior from cooperation and sterility to aggressive reproductive competition in whole colonies. Despite the competition, reproductive division of labor in colonies can be maintained even during this phase through the production of a sterility signal by sterile workers that has an appeasement effect on dominant nestmates. Worker-worker aggression, ovary activation, and production of sterility-appeasement signals may therefore constitute components of a trade-off affecting worker reproduction decisions. By constructing queenless groups of different size and measuring how this affected the parameters above, we found that in all groups aggression was not evenly distributed with the α-worker performing most of the aggressive acts. Moreover, aggression by the α-worker increased proportionally with group-size. However, while in small groups the α-worker monopolized reproduction, in larger groups several workers shared reproduction, creating two worker groups: reproductives and helpers. It appears that despite the increase of aggression, this was evidently not sufficient for the α-worker to monopolize reproduction. If we compare the α-worker to the queen in full-sized colonies it can be hypothesized that worker reproduction in B. terrestris colonies starts due to a gradual increase in the worker population and the queen's inability to physically inhibit worker oviposition. This may shift the trade-off between cost and benefit of worker reproduction and trigger the competition phase. 相似文献

The influence of the gravity on flow distribution of erythrocytes in microcirculation was examined. We developed a new centrifuge system with a rotation disc. An observation system of blood flow in a micro-flow channel was arranged on the disc. Erythrocyte flow in the micro-flow tube was displaced under the gravity. This study suggests that the gravity affects the transfer of substances from blood vessels to tissues. 相似文献

Resource availability or distribution may affect interindividual competition in species such as primates, which forage in social groups, and several field studies suggest that dominance status predicts access to restricted food sources. Increased competition due to restricted resources may result in the intensification of aggressive behaviors. The study reported here examines the impact of manipulation of the distribution of food resources in a laboratory-housed group of bonnet macaques to assess the impact of distribution on aggressive behaviors. Food was restricted to a space which allowed access to only one or two individuals at a time or was dispersed throughout the living enclosure to allow universal access in alternating periods. During periods of clumped distribution, the monkeys obtained access to the food in order of their dominance status in the group. In addition, overall levels of aggressive behaviors increased, submissive behavior increased, and play decreased during periods of clumped distribution of food. These results confirm the findings from field studies indicating increases in agonism with restriction of food resources. These findings also have implications for primate colony management, in terms of developing strategies for minimizing intragroup aggression in captive groups. 相似文献

The green-tide macroalga, Ulva prolifera, was tested in the laboratory to determine its nutrient uptake and photosynthesis under different conditions. In the nutrient concentration experiments U. prolifera showed a saturated uptake for nitrate but an escalating uptake in the tested range for phosphorus. Both N/P and NO3 ?/NH4 + ratios influenced nutrient uptake significantly (p?<?0.05) while the PSII quantum yield [Y(II)] (p?>?0.05) remained unaffected. The maximum N uptake rate (33.9?±?0.8 μmol g?1 DW h?1) and P uptake rate (11.1?±?4.7) was detected at N/P ratios of 7.5 and 2.2, respectively. U. prolifera preferred NH4 +-N to NO3 ?-N when the NO3 ?-N/NH4 +-N ratio was less than 2.2 (p?<?0.05). But between ratios of 2.2 and 12.9, the uptake of NO3 ?-N surpassed that of NH4 +-N. In the temperature experiments, the highest N uptake rate and [Y(II)] were observed at 20 °C, while the lowest rates were detected at 5 °C. P uptake rates were correlated with increasing temperature. 相似文献

Propagule banks, herbivory and nutrient supply control population development and dominance patterns in macroalgal blooms 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Destructive macroalgal mass blooms threaten estuarine and coastal ecosystems worldwide. We asked which factors regulate macroalgal bloom intensity, distribution and species composition. In field experiments in the Baltic Sea, we analyzed the relative effects of nutrients, herbivores and algal propagule banks on population development and dominance patterns in two co-occurring bloom-forming macroalgae, Enteromorpha intestinalis and Pilayella littoralis . Both species were highly affected by the combined effects of a propagule bank, herbivory and nutrients. The magnitude of effects varied with season. The propagule bank was an important overwintering mechanism for both algae, and allowed for recruitment two months earlier than recruitment via freshly dispersed propagules. This provided a seasonal escape from intense herbivory and nutrient limitation later in the year. Favored by massive recruitment from the propagule bank, Enteromorpha was the superior space occupier in early spring, thereby reducing recruitment of Pilayella . Elimination of the propagule bank and recruitment via freshly dispersed propagules favored Pilayella . Strong and selective herbivory on Enteromorpha supported Pilayella in the presence, but not in the absence of the propagule bank. Nutrient enrichment in summer counteracted herbivore pressure on Enteromorpha , thereby negatively affecting Pilayella . Herbivore and nutrient effects were more pronounced for early life stages than adult algae. These results show that recruitment processes and forces affecting early life stages at the beginning of the vegetation period determine development and dominance patterns of macroalgal blooms. Herbivores naturally suppress blooms but increasing nutrient enrichment can override this important control mechanism. The propagule bank plays a previously unrecognized role for population and community dynamics. 相似文献
