Nutrient Dilution by Starch in CO2-enriched Chrysanthemum

Increasing growth irradiance and CO₂ generally decreases foliarnutrient concentration on a dry weight basis and increases foliarstarch concentration. However, the extent to which starch concentrations‘dilute’ foliar nutrient concentrations when thelatter are expressed on a dry weight basis is not known. Todetermine the importance of differential starch accumulationin calculating nutrient concentrations on a dry weight basis,leaf nutrient and starch concentrations were measured in Chrysanthemum? morifolium ‘Fiesta’ (Ramat.) cuttings grown atthree irradiance levels and two CO₂ levels for eight weeks inboth winter and spring. On a dry weight basis, foliar concentrationsof most nutrients were lower in both seasons as a result ofthe elevated CO₂ and irradiance levels, and total dry weightswere higher. Per cent starch was greater at the high CO₂ levelin both seasons but was only greater at higher irradiances inthe winter experiment. When starch was subtracted from the leafdry weights, the differences between CO₂ and irradiance treatmentsdisappeared with respect to N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, and B but notfor Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu. Key words: CO₂ enrichment, starch, nutrients, irradiance     

致乏库蚊幼虫摄食和消化鱼腥藻的观察(英文)

在实验室条件下,致乏库蚊幼虫可大量摄食鱼腥藻,并能消化利用,完成生活史。鱼腥藻在蚊幼虫肠道中滞 留时间约6h,酵母约5h,鱼腥藻比酵母稍难消化。蚊幼虫至化蛹时期相比,饲喂鱼腥藻为194h,而饲喂酵母的为 142h,饲喂鱼腥藻比饲喂酵母延缓了蚊幼虫期52h。

Merging Maddenia with the morphologically diverse Prunus (Rosaceae)

Maddenia (Rosaceae) has been distinguished from Prunus on the basis of its tepaloid perianth and one‐ to two‐carpellate gynoecium. These distinctive morphological traits nonetheless overlap with several Prunus spp. Maddenia has previously been shown to be nested within Prunus, more specifically within a clade containing members of subgenera Laurocerasus and Padus, but its phylogenetic position within that clade has not been defined precisely. This study clarifies the position of Maddenia within Prunus through phylogenetic analyses of nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and plastid ndhF sequences, with an expanded sampling of tropical species of subgenus Laurocerasus and the inclusion of three Maddenia spp. The monophyly of Maddenia is supported by both the ITS and ndhF analyses, but both datasets support the inclusion of Maddenia in Prunus. All trees from the ITS analysis and some trees from the ndhF analysis also support a close alliance of Maddenia with a clade comprising temperate species of subgenera Laurocerasus and Padus. On the basis of these results, all recognized species of Maddenia are herein formally transferred to Prunus, which requires four new combinations and one new name: Prunus fujianensis (Y.T.Chang) J.Wen, comb. nov. ; Prunus himalayana J.Wen, nom. nov. ; Prunus hypoleuca (Koehne) J.Wen, comb. nov. ; Prunus hypoxantha (Koehne) J.Wen, comb. nov. ; and Prunus incisoserrata (T.T.Yü & T.C.Ku) J.Wen, comb. nov. © 2010 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2010, 164 , 236–245.     

基于MODIS的中国陆地植被生长及其与气候的关系

基于MODIS2000~2005(缺2004年)5a每8d的GPP资料,分析了中国陆地植被生长特征,讨论了我国气候因子(温度、降水以及辐射)对同期植被生长的影响。研究结果显示,中国陆地植被的年均GPP分布范围在0~3252.6gC.m-.2a-1之间,5a平均值为491.1gC.m-.2a-1;年均GPP最大的地方主要分布于云南南部、海南、台湾以及东南沿海部分地区,最小值主要出现在青藏高原、新疆以及内蒙古西部等高寒、干旱地区。温度是影响同期我国陆地植被生长的主要因子,其次为降水,辐射对我国陆地植被的影响比较小,主要影响区域在华南地区。陆地植被GPP与温度和降水的相关系数在我国表现为自北向南逐渐减小的分布特征,与对应气候因子的分布呈反向关系;而GPP与云量的相关系数则自北向南逐渐增大。
