CO2和温度升高情况下白粉菌侵染对西葫芦生长特性的影响

植物病害是降低植物产量和产品品质的重要因素,但对其在气候变化情景下如何影响植物的研究鲜见报道。利用封闭式人工气候室模拟不同环境处理,探讨了大气CO₂浓度增加和温度升高情况下白粉菌(Podosphaera xanthii)侵染对西葫芦(Cucurbita pepo)生长发育的影响。结果表明,单独CO₂加富(EC)增强了西葫芦光合作用(P<0.05),促进了植株生长和果实生产;CO₂浓度和温度同时升高(ECT)也促进了光合作用(P<0.05),加速了植株器官发育,但限制了叶片叶绿素合成和叶片面积生长,最终明显降低了植株地上部分干物质积累和果实产量(P<0.05)。和对照相比,EC处理下白粉菌的生长繁殖没有明显变化,但由于西葫芦植株的抗病性有所改善,植株病情指数略有下降;而ECT处理下白粉菌的发育繁殖明显改善,P. xanthii菌落规模和产孢能力极大提高(P<0.01),植物病情指数显著加重(P<0.01),作物严重减产(P<0.01)。可见,在未来以CO₂浓度和温度升高为特征的气候变化条件下,白粉菌倾向于加重对西葫芦的侵染。这个结论对其他葫芦科白粉病的防治管理也有借鉴作用。

大气CO2浓度和气温升高对麦田节肢动物群落的影响

为了预测气候变化对麦田节肢动物群落多样性的影响, 本研究在麦田开放环境中设置4种处理, 分别是高温(高于当时气温2℃和当前CO₂浓度)、高CO₂浓度(500 μL/L和当时气温)、高温+高CO₂浓度和对照(当前CO₂浓度和气温)等, 采用定期随机抽样方法调查节肢动物群落的多样性, 用经典的多样性指数对整体节肢动物群落以及不同食性节肢动物群落多样性进行分析。共采到节肢动物3纲10目42科52种。仅“高温”和“高温+高CO₂”处理显著增大节肢动物群落的均匀度, 其余处理均无显著影响。“高温+高CO₂”处理的影响随小麦生长发育期不同而略有差异, 在苗期可增大Shannon-Wiener多样性指数, 而在后期使该指数减小; “高温+高CO₂”与“高温”处理的群落多样性较为相似。对不同食性节肢动物群落的分析表明, 与对照相比, 植食性昆虫群落在“高CO₂”下丰富度显著增大; 寄生性昆虫群落的多度在“高温”下显著增大; 腐食性等节肢动物群落的多度在“高CO₂+高温”和“高温”处理下有所增大、均匀度在“高温”下略降低, 但均未达统计上的显著水平; 捕食性节肢动物群落不受影响。本研究说明, CO₂浓度和气温升高不同程度地影响麦田节肢动物群落的物种多样性, 两类因素同时升高与各自单独升高的影响不完全一致。     

Hyperparasites of the genus shape Ampelomyces on powdery mildew fungi in Serbia

From 1982 to 1996, in Serbia, 229 species of plants infected with powdery mildew were collected. Seventy-five species had hyperparasites of the genus Ampelomyces. Distribution analysis showed that hyperparasitism was greatest on plants from the families Asteraceae, Apiaceae and Fabaceae. Ampelomyces was not found on the family Poaceae. It was reported for the first time on the families Amygdalaceae, Cornaceae, Grossulariaceae, Plantaginaceae, Rhamnaceae and other 37 plant species. Hyperparasites of the genus Ampelomyces were found on 33 different species of fungi that are causal agents of powdery mildews. They are reported for the first time on nine species. Pycnidial size varied in the range 45–106 × 25.5–40.5 μm and conidia from 4.5–10.5 × 2.5–4.8 μm. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Flowering time and elevated atmospheric CO2

Flowering is a critical milestone in the life cycle of plants, and changes in the timing of flowering may alter processes at the species, community and ecosystem levels. Therefore understanding flowering-time responses to global change drivers, such as elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, [CO(2)], is necessary to predict the impacts of global change on natural and agricultural ecosystems. Here we summarize the results of 60 studies reporting flowering-time responses (defined as the time to first visible flower) of both crop and wild species at elevated [CO(2)]. These studies suggest that elevated [CO(2)] will influence flowering time in the future. In addition, interactions between elevated [CO(2)] and other global change factors may further complicate our ability to predict changes in flowering time. One approach to overcoming this problem is to elucidate the primary mechanisms that control flowering-time responses to elevated [CO(2)]. Unfortunately, the mechanisms controlling these responses are not known. However, past work has indicated that carbon metabolism exerts partial control on flowering time, and therefore may be involved in elevated [CO(2)]-induced changes in flowering time. This review also indicates the need for more studies addressing the effects of global change drivers on developmental processes in plants.     

Time-dependent responses of soil CO2 efflux components to elevated atmospheric [CO2] and temperature in experimental forest mesocosms

We previously used dual stable isotope techniques to partition soil CO₂ efflux into three source components (rhizosphere respiration, litter decomposition, and soil organic matter (SOM) oxidation) using experimental chambers planted with Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] seedlings. The components responded differently to elevated CO₂ (ambient + 200 mol mol^–1) and elevated temperature (ambient + 4 °C) treatments during the first year. Rhizosphere respiration increased most under elevated CO₂, and SOM oxidation increased most under elevated temperature. However, many studies show that plants and soil processes can respond to altered climates in a transient way. Herein, we extend our analysis to 2 years to evaluate the stability of the responses of the source components. Total soil CO₂ efflux increased significantly under elevated CO₂ and elevated temperature in both years (1994 and 1995), but the enhancement was much less in 1995. Rhizosphere respiration increased less under elevated temperature in 1995 compared with 1994. Litter decomposition also tended to increase comparatively less in 1995 under elevated CO₂, but was unresponsive to elevated temperature between years. In contrast, SOM oxidation was similar under elevated CO₂ in the 2 years. Less SOM oxidation occurred under elevated temperature in 1995 compared with 1994. Our results indicate that temporal variations can occur in CO₂ production by the sources. The variations likely involve responses to antecedent physical disruption of the soil and physiological processes.     

Evaluation of biocontrol agents and potassium silicate for the management of powdery mildew of zucchini

Investigations were conducted under greenhouse and field conditions to evaluate the effects of potential biocontrol agents (BCAs) and soluble silicon (Si) on powdery mildew of zucchini caused by Podosphaera xanthii. Five BCAs were applied as foliar sprays to zucchini leaves and Si was drenched weekly into the rhizosphere of these plants.In the greenhouse, all BCAs provided significant control of powdery mildew with fungal isolates, reducing disease levels by up to 90%. Si alone reduced powdery mildew by as much as 35% and improved the efficacy of most of the biocontrol agents. Higher disease pressure reduced the efficacy of Si on powdery mildew but did not affect the performance of the BCAs. In the field, a disease reduction of 10–70% was achieved by BCAs and Si. Lower temperatures and high humidity ranges were suitable for optimal performances. The efficacy of the bacterial BCA, Serratia marcescens – B15 and silicon diminished at temperatures above 25 °C. The fungal BCAs (Clonostachys rosea – EH and Trichothecium roseum – H20) were better suited to higher temperatures (25–30 °C) and were tolerant of low RH values. Application of K₂SiO₂ to zucchini roots increased the level of Si in the leaves, which was responsible for suppression of the disease.

The effects of elevated temperature and dissolved ρCO2 on a marine foundation species

Understanding how climate change and other environmental stressors will affect species is a fundamental concern of modern ecology. Indeed, numerous studies have documented how climate stressors affect species distributions and population persistence. However, relatively few studies have investigated how multiple climate stressors might affect species. In this study, we investigate the impacts of how two climate change factors affect an important foundation species. Specifically, we tested how ocean acidification from dissolution of CO₂ and increased sea surface temperatures affect multiple characteristics of juvenile eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica). We found strong impacts of each stressor, but no interaction between the two. Simulated warming to mimic heat stressed summers reduced oyster growth, survival, and filtration rates. Additionally, we found that CO₂‐induced acidification reduced strength of oyster shells, which could potentially facilitate crab predation. As past studies have detected few impacts of these stressors on adult oysters, these results indicate that early life stages of calcareous marine organisms may be more susceptible to effects of ocean acidification and global warming. Overall, these data show that predicted changes in temperature and CO₂ can differentially influence direct effects on individual species, which could have important implications for the nature of their trophic interactions.     

Effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations on soil microorganisms

Effects of elevated CO(2) on soil microorganisms are known to be mediated by various interactions with plants, for which such effects are relatively poorly documented. In this review, we summarize and synthesize results from studies assessing impacts of elevated CO(2) on soil ecosystems, focusing primarily on plants and a variety the of microbial processes. The processes considered include changes in microbial biomass of C and N, microbial number, respiration rates, organic matter decomposition, soil enzyme activities, microbial community composition, and functional groups of bacteria mediating trace gas emission such as methane and nitrous oxide. Elevated CO(2) in atmosphere may enhance certain microbial processes such as CH(4) emission from wetlands due to enhanced carbon supply from plants. However, responses of extracellular enzyme activities and microbial community structure are still controversy, because interferences with other factors such as the types of plants, nutrient availabilitial in soil, soil types, analysis methods, and types of CO(2) fumigation systems are not fully understood.     

Biology and biocontrol potential of Ampelomyces mycoparasites, natural antagonists of powdery mildew fungi

Historically, pycnidial fungi belonging to the genus Ampelomyces were among the first mycoparasites to be studied in detail and were also the first fungi used as biocontrol agents of plant parasitic fungi. The interactions between host plants, powdery mildew fungi and Ampelomyces mycoparasites are one of the most evident cases of tritrophic relationships in nature although their study has received little attention in fungal and plant ecology so far. Ampelomyces mycoparasites have now become one of the most advanced in terms of commercial development of a fungal biocontrol agent, although there is still a need for more development work to produce a product with reliability approaching that of conventional chemical treatments. This review summarizes the taxonomy, genetic diversity, life cycle, mode of action, natural occurrence, host range, biocontrol potential, mass production and commercialization of these mycoparasites and compares the biocontrol ability of Ampelomyces with that of other fungal antagonists of powdery mildews.     

氮素对高大气CO2浓度下小麦叶片光合作用的影响

通过测定小麦拔节期叶片的光合气体交换参数和光强-光合速率（P_n）响应曲线,研究了氮素对长期高大气CO₂浓度（760 μmol·mol^-1）下小麦叶片光合作用的影响.结果表明：在长期高大气CO₂浓度下,增施氮肥能提高小麦叶片P_n、蒸腾速率（T_r）和瞬时水分利用效率（WUE_i）;与正常大气CO₂浓度相比,高大气CO₂浓度下小麦叶片的P_n和WUE_i增加,气孔导度（G_s）和胞间CO₂浓度(C_i）降低.随光合有效辐射的增强,高大气CO₂浓度下小麦叶片的P_n和WUE_i均高于正常大气CO₂浓度处理,G_s则较低,而C_i和T_r无显著变化.高氮水平下小麦叶片G_s与P_n、T_r、WUE_i呈线性正相关,G_s与C_i在正常大气CO₂浓度下呈线性负相关,但高大气CO₂浓度下二者无相关性;低氮水平下小麦叶片的G_s与P_n、WUE_i无相关性,而与C_i和T_r呈线性正相关,表明高大气CO₂浓度下低氮水平的小麦叶片P_n由非气孔因素限制.     

Interactive direct and plant‐mediated effects of elevated atmospheric [CO2] and temperature on a eucalypt‐feeding insect herbivore

Understanding the direct and indirect effects of elevated [CO₂] and temperature on insect herbivores and how these factors interact are essential to predict ecosystem‐level responses to climate change scenarios. In three concurrent glasshouse experiments, we measured both the individual and interactive effects of elevated [CO₂] and temperature on foliar quality. We also assessed the interactions between their direct and plant‐mediated effects on the development of an insect herbivore of eucalypts. Eucalyptus tereticornis saplings were grown at ambient or elevated [CO₂] (400 and 650 μmol mol^?1 respectively) and ambient or elevated ( + 4 °C) temperature for 10 months. Doratifera quadriguttata (Lepidoptera: Limacodidae) larvae were feeding directly on these trees, on their excised leaves in a separate glasshouse, or on excised field‐grown leaves within the temperature and [CO₂] controlled glasshouse. To allow insect gender to be determined and to ensure that any sex‐specific developmental differences could be distinguished from treatment effects, insect development time and consumption were measured from egg hatch to pupation. No direct [CO₂] effects on insects were observed. Elevated temperature accelerated larval development, but did not affect leaf consumption. Elevated [CO₂] and temperature independently reduced foliar quality, slowing larval development and increasing consumption. Simultaneously increasing both [CO₂] and temperature reduced these shifts in foliar quality, and negative effects on larval performance were subsequently ameliorated. Negative nutritional effects of elevated [CO₂] and temperature were also independently outweighed by the direct positive effect of elevated temperature on larvae. Rising [CO₂] and temperature are thus predicted to have interactive effects on foliar quality that affect eucalypt‐feeding insects. However, the ecological consequences of these interactions will depend on the magnitude of concurrent temperature rise and its direct effects on insect physiology and feeding behaviour.     

Changes of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of sugarcane under elevated concentration of atmospheric CO2

It is believed that climate change will influence most of interactions that sustain life on Earth. Among these, the recruitment exerted by plants in their roots vicinity can change, leading to differential assemblages of microbiomes in the rhizosphere. We approached this issue analyzing the variations in the composition of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of sugarcane cultivated under two concentrations of atmospheric CO₂ (350 or 700 ppm). In addition to the analysis of bacterial community, the use of DNA‐SIP allowed the comparison of bacterial groups assimilating roots exudates (based on ¹³C‐labeled DNA) in both conditions, in a period of 8 days after the CO₂ pulse. The separation of ¹³C‐DNA indicated the low but increasing frequency of labeling in the rhizosphere, as averages of 0.6, 2.4 and 5.0% of total DNA were labeled after 2, 4, and 8 days after the ¹³CO₂ pulse, respectively. Based on large‐scale sequencing of the V6 region in the gene 16S rRNA, we found an increase in the bacterial diversity in the ¹³C‐DNA along the sampling period. We also describe the occurrence of distinct bacterial groups assimilating roots exudates from sugarcane cultivated under each CO₂ concentration. Bacilli, Gammaproteobacteria, and Clostridia showed high affinity for the C‐sources released by sugarcane under 350 ppm of CO₂, while under elevated concentration of CO₂, the assimilation of roots exudates was prevalently made by members of Bacilli and Betaproteobacteria. The communities became more similar along time (4 and 8 days after CO₂ pulse), in both concentrations of CO₂, electing Actinobacteria, Sphingobacteriia, and Alphaproteobacteria as the major cross‐feeders on sugarcane exudates. In summary, we described the bacterial groups with higher affinity to assimilate roots exudates in the rhizosphere of sugarcane, and also demonstrated that the rhizosphere community can be differentially assembled in a future scenario with increased contents of CO₂.     

Reduced early growing season freezing resistance in alpine treeline plants under elevated atmospheric CO2

The frequency of freezing events during the early growing season and the vulnerability to freezing of plants in European high‐altitude environments could increase under future atmospheric and climate change. We tested early growing season freezing sensitivity in 10 species, from four plant functional types (PFTs) spanning three plant growth forms (PGFs), from a long‐term in situ CO₂ enrichment (566 vs. 370 ppm) and 2‐year soil warming (+4 K) experiment at treeline in the Swiss Alps (Stillberg, Davos). By additionally tracking plant phenology, we distinguished indirect phenology‐driven CO₂ and warming effects from direct physiology‐related effects on freezing sensitivity. The freezing damage threshold (lethal temperature 50) under ambient conditions of the 10 treeline species spanned from ?6.7±0.3 °C (Larix decidua) to ?9.9±0.6 °C (Vaccinium gaultherioides). PFT, but not PGF, explained a significant amount of this interspecific variation. Long‐term exposure to elevated CO₂ led to greater freezing sensitivity in multiple species but did not influence phenology, implying that physiological changes caused by CO₂ enrichment were responsible for the effect. The elevated CO₂ effect on freezing resistance was significant in leaves of Larix, Vaccinium myrtillus, and Gentiana punctata and marginally significant in leaves of Homogyne alpina and Avenella flexuosa. No significant CO₂ effect was found in new shoots of Empetrum hermaphroditum or in leaves of Pinus uncinata, Leontodon helveticus, Melampyrum pratense, and V. gaultherioides. Soil warming led to advanced leaf expansion and reduced freezing resistance in V. myrtillus only, whereas Avenella showed greater freezing resistance when exposed to warming. No effect of soil warming was found in any of the other species. Effects of elevated CO₂ and soil warming on freezing sensitivity were not consistent within PFTs or PGFs, suggesting that any future shifts in plant community composition due to increased damage from freezing events will likely occur at the individual species level.     

Impacts of long‐term elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations on communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

The ecological impacts of long‐term elevated atmospheric CO₂ (eCO₂) levels on soil microbiota remain largely unknown. This is particularly true for the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, which form mutualistic associations with over two‐thirds of terrestrial plant species and are entirely dependent on their plant hosts for carbon. Here, we use high‐resolution amplicon sequencing (Illumina, HiSeq) to quantify the response of AM fungal communities to the longest running (>15 years) free‐air carbon dioxide enrichment (FACE) experiment in the Northern Hemisphere (GiFACE); providing the first evaluation of these responses from old‐growth (>100 years) semi‐natural grasslands subjected to a 20% increase in atmospheric CO₂. eCO₂ significantly increased AM fungal richness but had a less‐pronounced impact on the composition of their communities. However, while broader changes in community composition were not observed, more subtle responses of specific AM fungal taxa were with populations both increasing and decreasing in abundance in response to eCO₂. Most population‐level responses to eCO₂ were not consistent through time, with a significant interaction between sampling time and eCO₂ treatment being observed. This suggests that the temporal dynamics of AM fungal populations may be disturbed by anthropogenic stressors. As AM fungi are functionally differentiated, with different taxa providing different benefits to host plants, changes in population densities in response to eCO₂ may significantly impact terrestrial plant communities and their productivity. Thus, predictions regarding future terrestrial ecosystems must consider changes both aboveground and belowground, but avoid relying on broad‐scale community‐level responses of soil microbes observed on single occasions.     

Improving ecophysiological simulation models to predict the impact of elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration on crop productivity

Background

Process-based ecophysiological crop models are pivotal in assessing responses of crop productivity and designing strategies of adaptation to climate change. Most existing crop models generally over-estimate the effect of elevated atmospheric [CO₂], despite decades of experimental research on crop growth response to [CO₂].

Analysis

A review of the literature indicates that the quantitative relationships for a number of traits, once expressed as a function of internal plant nitrogen status, are altered little by the elevated [CO₂]. A model incorporating these nitrogen-based functional relationships and mechanisms simulated photosynthetic acclimation to elevated [CO₂], thereby reducing the chance of over-estimating crop response to [CO₂]. Robust crop models to have small parameterization requirements and yet generate phenotypic plasticity under changing environmental conditions need to capture the carbon–nitrogen interactions during crop growth.

Conclusions

The performance of the improved models depends little on the type of the experimental facilities used to obtain data for parameterization, and allows accurate projections of the impact of elevated [CO₂] and other climatic variables on crop productivity.
