NaNO3胁迫对两种微囊藻VOCs释放的影响

为了揭示硝酸盐过量积累对藻类产生胁迫后对藻类挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)释放以及水体气味的影响, 研究以形成蓝藻水华的主要种类铜绿微囊藻和水华微囊藻为材料, 在NaNO3胁迫下, 对其细胞生长和释放的VOCs进行测定分析。结果表明, NaNO3胁迫24h后, 铜绿微囊藻和水华微囊藻细胞生长均受到明显影响, 与对照相比细胞密度分别降低了29.6%和43.0%。在正常条件下, 铜绿微囊藻和水华微囊藻分别释放出26和27种化合物, 其主要类型是硫化物、烃类、萜烯类、苯类、醛类和酯类化合物。在NaNO3胁迫下, VOCs含量均明显增加, 其中铜绿微囊藻释放的此6类VOCs含量分别增加了60.5%、14.3%、136.6%、92.1%、730.0%和120.7%, 水华微囊分别增加了172.7%、162.5%、154.0%、55.9%、51.2%和109.4%。此外, 铜绿微囊藻VOCs中出现4种新成分, 水华微囊藻VOCs中出现1种新成分。由此可见, 硝酸盐过量积累对藻细胞产生胁迫后会诱导其释放出大量VOCs, 从而增加水体气味、破坏水质。       

两种杨树对高硼胁迫的生理响应

近年来国外学者发现杨树(Populus spp.)对硼表现出很强的富集能力和极强的耐受能力, 但其耐硼胁迫的生理机制和种间差异仍不清楚。该研究通过两年的硼梯度控制试验, 探讨了硼胁迫对欧洲黑杨杂交种俄罗斯杨(Populus russkii)和银白杨变种新疆杨(P. bolleca)的生长和生理指标的影响。结果表明, 新疆杨的耐高硼能力高于俄罗斯杨, 其高硼伤害阈值(EC10)为35 mg·kg^-1, 俄罗斯杨为19 mg·kg^-1。两种杨树的过氧化氢酶(CAT)和愈创木酚过氧化物酶(Gu-POD)活性随硼浓度升高而升高, 超过EC10后显著下降。尽管两种杨树的叶绿素含量和光化学效率在硼胁迫下降低, 但抗硼胁迫能力较强的新疆杨仍然保持了较高的叶绿素a/b值和热耗散能力(非光化学淬灭升高), 因此有效地保护了该树种的光合能力。两种杨树的可溶性糖含量随硼胁迫加重而适应性升高, 以维持其抗渗透能力, 但其叶片可溶性蛋白含量仅在中低强度的硼胁迫条件下有所升高。该研究明确了两个富集硼的杨树种对高硼胁迫的生理响应及其种间差异。

盐肤木对重金属铬胁迫的生理生化反应研究

通过土培试验研究了不同质量浓度的重金属铬(0、30、50、80 mg·kg^–1) 胁迫对盐肤木根长、茎长、地上及地下部分干重,叶绿素、丙二醛、脯氨酸含量,超氧化物歧化酶 (SOD)、过氧化氢酶 (CAT) 活性的影响,探究了铬胁迫下盐肤木对铬的生理生化响应和耐受能力,为应用盐肤木修复重金属铬污染土壤提供依据。研究结果表明,在重金属铬胁迫下,盐肤木叶片的叶绿素含量略有降低,丙二醛含量升高。当铬浓度低于50 mg·kg^–1 时,随浓度升高,盐肤木叶片的脯氨酸含量、SOD 和CAT 活性均升高。当铬浓度为80 mg·kg^–1 时,其含量和活性相对下降,但对其正常生长均无显著影响,说明盐肤木耐受铬的能力较强,作为重金属污染地恢复的先锋植物具有很好的应用前景。     

Effects of dew on eco-physiological traits and leaf structures of Leymus chinensis and Agropyron cristatum grown under drought stress

Aims To investigate the effects of dew on plants, we conducted the experiment to determine the physiological characteristics and leaf structures of Leymus chinensis and Agropyron cristatum in response to increasing dew under drought stress.Methods Four treatments (no dew, three times dew and five times dew per week under drought stress, and well-watering) were designed to examine leaf relative water content, water potential, net photosynthetic rate, water use efficiency, biomass, and leaf structures of L. chinensis and A. cristatum. Important findings There was a significant increase in the relative water content and water potential by simulated dew increase for two plants species under drought stress (p < 0.05). For A. cristatum, simulated dew increase significantly enhanced the net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate of plants under drought stress (p < 0.05). On the other hand, there was no significant difference in the stomatal conductance and transpiration rate for L. chinensis among treatments. Simulated dew increase improved the aboveground biomass and root biomass of two species. The ratio of yellow leaves to the total leaves was decreased by simulated dew increase for two species. Dew increase also protected leaf structures against the drought stress, suggesting that the dew increase can slow down the death process of leaves resulted from drought stress. Therefore, the study demonstrated that dew increased the available water for the leaves of L. chinensis and A. cristatum grown in the drought stress and thus had positive effects on the photosynthesis, water physiology and plant development.     

Effects of localized nitrogen supply treatments on growth and root parameters in Pinus massoniana families under phosphorus deficiency

Aims A heterogeneous spatially distribution of nutrients in natural soil may affect plant growth. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of localized nitrogen (N) supply treatments on growth traits and root parameters among different families in Pinus massoniana.Methods Five families of P. massoniana seedlings from full-sib progenies were used as test materials (1, 25, 49, 52, and 57). This study included two conditions, (i.e. homogeneous phosphorus (P) deficiency vs. heterogeneous P efficiency) among soil layers in combination with four N supply treatments in a one-year pot experiment. These N supply treatments were: (1) Homogeneously high N along the soil profile (HHH); (2) high N-high N-low N (HHL); (3) low N-low N-high N (LLH); (4) low N-low N-on side with N addition and the other side without N supply (LLH/L).Important findings This study indicated that localized N supply treatment did enhance the growth of P. massoniana, and this enhancement mainly happened in the pattern of N applied to deep soil. The results showed: 1) Compared to the homogeneous low P condition, there were increase in the growth traits and root parameters of P. massoniana under heterogeneous low P condition. Particularly, the root length and root surface area under the heterogeneous P deficiency condition were 1.95 times and 2.11 times higher than that subjected to the homogeneous P deficiency. 2) Localized N supply treatment affected seedling growth, and there was a significant interaction among N supply pattern and P condition. In compared with homogeneous N supply treatment, the height, basal diameter and dry weight of seedlings increased significantly by localized N supply treatments (LLH and/or LLH/L) under both two P deficiency conditions. But when the seedlings parameters were enhanced under homogeneous P deficiency, they were inhibited under heterogeneous P deficiency subjected to HHL. 3) Within the two P conditions, LLH and LLH/L stimulated root proliferation significantly, and root parameters were significantly enhanced under the heterogeneous P deficiency condition. Specifically, the root length and root surface area subjected to LLH/L rather than HHH were significantly enhanced by 29.2% and 32.3%, respectively. However, the length and surface area of the roots were suppressed by HHL treatment. 4). There were significant differences in response to different N supply treatments among P. massoniana families Seedlings in the families of 49, 52, and 57 responded to the localized N supply treatments with increased root proliferation, which enhanced seedling dry mass. On the other hand, the seedling growth in the family of 25 were stimulated by N and (or) P concentration, while the response of seedlings in the family of 1 to local nitrogen supply was relatively slow and exhibited growth retardation.
