Summary The effects of temperature, photoperiod, phytochrome photoreversion and the response to a R/FR ratio gradient were investigated in seeds of four species from two contrasting tropical habitats; two species from a rain forest (Cecropia obtusifolia and Piper umbellatum) and two from a high altitude lava field covered by low vegetation (Buddleja cordata and Chenopodium ambrosioides). In the rain forest seed species the photoblastic response seems to be adapted to light quality changes due to canopy destruction, on the other hand, the lava field seed species seem to be adapted to instantaneous light stimulus such as would be produced by the sudden exposure of a buried seed to the soil surface light environment. 相似文献

Natural priming promotes fast and synchronic seed germination and enhances the establishment of seedlings from Wigandia urens seeds. In this study, seeds of this species were buried in the field in three different sites, and each site was divided into three different microsites (natural priming). They were then exhumed and air-dried at the beginning of the rainy season. The control and exhumed W. urens seeds were tested for differences in germination, and in the protein patterns derived from heat-stable and phospho-protein enriched fractions, sucrose concentrations, amylase isoenzyme patterns, as well as catalase activity and H2 O2 levels. All the exhumed seeds germinated faster and more synchronically than the control seeds. Nevertheless, the germinative pattern showed a microsite effect related to the microenvironmental conditions. Most exhumed samples kept the germinative advantages acquired from the soil during natural priming for 2 years but seeds from the most heterogeneous site (a forest gap) did not. Natural priming also promoted mobilization of 7-S globulin-like proteins, solubilization of the 11-S globulin-like proteins as well as sucrose consumption before radicle protrusion. Although there were no changes in starch concentration during the germination of either the control or buried seeds, a different isoenzyme amylase pattern was observed. Catalase activity decreased and hydrogen peroxide levels were lower in exhumed seeds during germination. The changes in the protein and sucrose patterns were related to advances in the germinative process acquired during burial. Metabolic advantages were maintained systematically in all seed samples along the 2 years. The ecological significance of natural priming is discussed. 相似文献

The effect of gibberellic acid (GA3) was tested on germination of coconut zygotic embryos, their conversion into plantlets and ex vitro survival. There were four treatments consisting of 5 wk of culture in semi-solid medium or liquid medium, with or without
GA3. Embryos were then transferred to GA3 free-liquid medium for the rest of a 32-wk culture. Germination and conversion percentages were higher in semi-solid medium
than in liquid medium, and with both media percentages increased with GA3 treatment (with the exception of the highest GA3 concentration). Embryos of two varieties (MGD and MYD) were used. The following are the results with MGD embryos. Optimum
GA3 concentration in liquid medium was 0.46 μM, with 80% germination (62% in the control without GA3) and 4.6 μM in semi-solid medium with 98% germination (71% in the control). With GA3 treatment, germination was also faster. Conversion in semi-solid medium with GA3 was 87% (60% in the control), and 45% in liquid medium with GA3 (25% in the control). Once the plantlets had at least three bifid leaves and three primary roots at the time of transfer
to ex vitro, they survived independently of the treatment. When MYD embryos were used, germination and conversion percentages were higher
in semi-solid medium than in liquid medium, and they increased when GA3 was used, although percentages were lower than those obtained with MGD embryos. The results showed that the use of GA3 benefited coconut embryos in culture because it favored germination and conversion to plants on semi-solid medium, and hence
improved previous protocols. 相似文献

Unplanned urban development threatens natural ecosystems. Assessing ecosystem recovery after anthropogenic disturbances and identifying plant species that may facilitate vegetation regeneration are critical for the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services in urban areas. At the periphery of Mexico City, illegal human settlements produced different levels of disturbance on natural plant communities developed on a lava field near the Ajusco mountain range. We assessed natural regeneration of plant communities 20 years after the abandonment of the settlements, in sites that received low (manual harvesting of non-timber forest products), medium (removal of aboveground vegetation), and high (removal of substrate and whole vegetation) disturbance levels. We also tested the potential facilitative role played by dominant tree and shrub species. Plant diversity and vegetation biomass decreased as disturbance level increased. Sites with high disturbance level showed poor regeneration and the lowest species similarity compared to the least disturbed sites. Six dominant species (i.e., those with the highest abundance, frequency, and/or basal area) were common to all sites. Among them, three species (the tree Buddleja cordata, and two shrubs, Ageratina glabrata and Sedum oxypetalum) were identified as potential facilitators of community regeneration, because plant density and species richness were significantly higher under their canopies than at open sites. We propose that analyzing community structural traits of the successional vegetation (such as species diversity and biomass) and identifying potential facilitator species are useful steps in assessing the recovery ability of plant communities to anthropogenic disturbances, and in designing restoration strategies. 相似文献

Germination of nondormant seeds of Manfreda brachystachya (Agavaceae) was analyzed at temperatures ranging from 11–35°C. Maximum germination (95%) occurred at 25°C. An exponential sigmoid relationship was found between time and cumulative germination. Germination rate for every subpopulation (10–90% germination) was estimated by means of a normal distribution analysis. The kurtosis indicated die amplitude of the range of temperatures where the highest germination rates were concentrated, and the skew indicated sharply inhibitory temperatures in the range of temperatures used. Based on analysis of the normal distribution models for each subpopulation, we calculated a theoretical function which described germination rate over the temperature range considered: F(T,x) = A × exp[-B(C−1)2 ], where A is the function that describes germination rate for each subpopulation (characterized by the percentage [x] at optimal temperature); B is a shape parameter, 1/(σ2 ); and C is the ratio between each germination temperature (T) and the optimal germination temperature. The Gaussian curves were used to calculate thermal time, and base and ceiling temperatures. Germination thermal time ranged from 1333 to 2373°C h, and base and ceiling temperatures were 10.44 ± 0.7°C and 39.54 ± 0.7°C, respectively. There was a linear relationship between thermal time and cumulative percentage of germination of the subpopulations. Based on fitted curves for each subpopulation, the use of a general model for all the subpopulations has been proven: F8 = A × exp[−5.9437(C−1)2 ], where changes in the curves for each subpopulation depended on temperature only. 相似文献

The photoblastic seeds of two pioneer trees from the tropical rain forest-Cecropia obtusifolia andPiper auritum — require long diurnal periods of red light to germinate. In the field, the establishment of the trees takes place only in
light gaps produced by falling trees. Experiments were performed in order to ascertain the relationship between the light
requirements of the seeds and the germination control in the field. Results show that phytochrome regulated germination allows
the detection of light gaps. 相似文献

Analysis of fern spore banks from the soil of three vegetation types in the central region of Mexico
The vertical structure of fern spore banks was studied in a xerophilous shrubland, montane rain forest, and pine-oak forest in Hidalgo, Mexico, using the emergence method. Soil samples were collected in April 1999 at depths of 0-10, 10-20, and 20-30 cm. Viable spores decreased significantly with depth in all vegetation types, and the highest number of prothallia and sporophytes was found in the uppermost layer. The montane rain forest and the xerophilous shrubland had the largest and the richest banks, respectively. Twenty-three fern taxa were registered in the aboveground vegetation, 12 in the soil banks, and 43.5% were in both. Aboveground and in the soil bank, the xerophilous shrubland, the montane rain forest, and the pine-oak forest had, 17 and 7, 1 and 6, and 7 and 3 taxa, respectively. These were distributed differentially in relation to depth. The S?rensen index indicated a similarity of 61.5% between the xerophilous shrubland and the montane rain forest, and the Czeckanovsky index indicated 19.75%. The presence of viable spores in the soil of all vegetation types confirmed the existence of natural spore banks. Long-distance dispersal was an important factor determining the specific composition of the xerophilous shrubland and the pine-oak forest. 相似文献
