生长调解物质与植物水分状况的关系

水分是决定植物分布与作物生产力的主要因素之一。水分缺乏可引起植物生命活动的各个方面,包括生长发育、形态解剖与生理代谢等的改变,但是它的最主要而直接的影响是对生长发育的改变。生长调节物质对植物的生长发育有广泛的调节作用。因此关于植物在水分胁迫条件下,内源激素发生什么变化以及激     

植物生长调节物质

绿色植物的生长和发育不仅需要适宜的温度（气温、土温、日平均最高和最低温度）、光照强度和每日光照时数,必要的水分和氧气、二氧化碳以及氮、磷、钾等肥料元素,而且还受体内的多种微量的高效生理活性物质植物激素的调节。植物的激素含量常用毫克／升（mg／L）甚至更小单位表示。这就是说,只相当于植物鲜重的百万甚至千万分之几。更形象一些说,可看作将一匙蔗糖洒人一个面积为100m2、深为1m2的鱼塘中去的稀释度。可是,令人难解的是,这些微量的小分子物质竟然能在植物各器官间传递重要信息,指令生长和发育的方向和速度。如对黄瓜苗…

Analysis of Growth and Water Relations of Tomato Fruits in Relation to Air Vapor Pressure Deficit and Plant Fruit Load

The influence of air vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and plant fruit load on the expansion and water relations of young tomato fruits grown in a glasshouse were evaluated under summer Mediterranean conditions. The contributions of phloem, xylem and transpiration fluxes to the fruit volume increase were estimated at an hourly scale from the growth curves of intact, heat-girdled and detached fruits, measured using displacement transducers. High VPD conditions reduced the xylem influx and increased the fruit transpiration, but hardly affected the phloem influx. Net water accumulation and growth rate were reduced, and a xylem efflux even occurred during the warmest and driest hours of the day. Changes in xylem flux could be explained by variations in the gradient of water potential between stem and fruit, due to changes in stem water potential. Misting reduced air VPD and alleviated the reduction in fruit volume increase through an increase in xylem influx and a decrease in fruit transpiration. Under low fruit load, the competition for assimilates being likely reduced, the phloem flux to fruits increased, similarly to the xylem and transpiration fluxes, without any changes in the fruit water potential. However, different diurnal dynamics among treatments assume variable contributions of turgor and osmotic pressure in F3 and F6 fruits, and hypothetical short-term variations in the water potential gradient between stem and fruit, preventing xylem efflux in F3 fruits.

Plant Growth in Polyethylene Glycol Solutions in Relation to the Osmotic Potential of the Root Medium and the Leaf Water Balance

The changes in leaf extension, plant dryweight, leaf area, netassimilation rate (E), relative growth-rate (R_W), and relativeleaf growth-rate (R_L), have been studied for four species grownfor 2 weeks in solutions of polyethylene glycol 4000 of controlledosmotic potentials. All aspects of growth were decreased bydecreasing the osmotic potential (_sol) of the root medium andthe leaf water potential (), and ceased when _/ was greater than— 10 bars in bean, cotton, maize. These plants were moresusceptible than ryegrass to water stress. Growth of bean stoppedat equal to about —6 bars, but even at —10 barsryegrass was capable of some growth. Slight decrease in fromthe values in the control plants decreased growth during thefirst week but partial recovery was apparent during the secondweek's growth in solution culture, when leaf extension, E, R_Land R_W increased in plants subjected to stress. Examinationof the water balance, water potential, osmotic potential andturgor of the leaf in relation to relative water content suggeststhat recovery was related to increased turgor and that the abilityof the plants to grow at reduced values of the osmotic potentialof the root medium and of the leaf water potential depend onthe maintenance of turgor.     

Rhizosphere Microbial Community Structure in Relation to Root Location and Plant Iron Nutritional Status

Root exudate composition and quantity vary in relation to plant nutritional status, but the impact of the differences on rhizosphere microbial communities is not known. To examine this question, we performed an experiment with barley (Hordeum vulgare) plants under iron-limiting and iron-sufficient growth conditions. Plants were grown in an iron-limiting soil in root box microcosms. One-half of the plants were treated with foliar iron every day to inhibit phytosiderophore production and to alter root exudate composition. After 30 days, the bacterial communities associated with different root zones, including the primary root tips, nonelongating secondary root tips, sites of lateral root emergence, and older roots distal from the tip, were characterized by using 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) fingerprints generated by PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). Our results showed that the microbial communities associated with the different root locations produced many common 16S rDNA bands but that the communities could be distinguished by using correspondence analysis. Approximately 40% of the variation between communities could be attributed to plant iron nutritional status. A sequence analysis of clones generated from a single 16S rDNA band obtained at all of the root locations revealed that there were taxonomically different species in the same band, suggesting that the resolving power of DGGE for characterization of community structure at the species level is limited. Our results suggest that the bacterial communities in the rhizosphere are substantially different in different root zones and that a rhizosphere community may be altered by changes in root exudate composition caused by changes in plant iron nutritional status.     

An Empirical Model for Leaf Expansion in Cacao in Relation to Plant Water Deficit

Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) seedlings at the onset of a flushcycle were exposed to five different irrigation treatments.The expansion of all leaves in an emerging flush was followed,and estimates of leaf water potential(_w) were made on each daythat leaf areas were measured. The growth in area of the leaveswas fitted with a modified logistic curve of the form y = a/[1+ be ^–(ct+dt2)], and parameters of leaf growth were derivedfrom the fitted constants. A coefficient of stress exposure,S, was derived as the slope of the relation between cumulative_w and time. Three parameters of the logisitc function (a, cand d) were strongly associated with S. By fitting regressionsfor the relations between S and estimates of each parameterfor the five treatments, values of a, b, c and d may be estimatedat any level of S encompassed by these data. The effects ofwater stress on leaf expansion rate and on the final leaf areaattained by the emerging flush can be adequately predicted bythis technique.

The Intracellular Water Activity of Bacteria in Relation to the Water Activity of the Growth Medium

Intracellular water activities ( a _w) calculated from the solute composition of various bacterial cells, are in good agreement with values derived from intracellular freezing point data. Further, and confirming literature results based on freezing points, the intracellular a _w was found to be generally equal to or lower than that of the growth medium.     

Photosynthetic CO2 Uptake and Whole Plant Growth as Related to Plant Water Relations

Morphological features of arid region plant life forms are described and interpreted as adaptations to drought although this cannot be easily quantified. Functional adaptations, however, can be measured, and using the annual crop plant Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. responses to drought are described at the leaf and the whole plant level. In the first step of this analysis theoretical criteria are developed to define optimal water use. In the second step experimental data are used to test to what extent Vigna follows a theoretically optimal regulation of water and carbon relations. The analysis indicates that the ecological adaptation of regulatory processes may be quantified at a functional level.     

Misconceptions About the Relation Between Plant Growth and Respiration

Abstract: The relation between plant growth rate and respiration rate is readily derived from the overall chemical reaction for aerobic metabolism. The derived relation can be used to show that separation of respiration into growth (g) and maintenance (m) components is not a useful concept. g and m cannot be unambiguously measured or defined in terms of biochemical processes. Moreover, because growth yield calculations from biochemical pathway analysis, from biomass molecular composition, from biomass heat of combustion, and from biomass elemental composition have not included all of the energy costs for biosynthesis, they are not accurate measures of the carbon cost for plant growth. Improper definitions of growth-respiration relations are impeding the use of physiological properties for prediction of plant growth as a function of environmental variables.
