Elastic BucMing of Bionic Cylindrical Shells Based on Bamboo

High load-bearing efficiency is one of the advantages of biological structures after the evolution of billions of years. Biomimicking from nature may offer the potential for lightweight design. In the viewpoint ofrnechanics properties, the culm of bamboo comprises of two types of cells and the number of the vascular bundles takes a gradient of distribution. A three-point bending test was carried out to measure the elastic modulus. Results show that the elastic modulus of bamboo decreases gradually from the periphery towards the centre. Based on the structural characteristics of bamboo, a bionic cylindrical structure was designed to mimic the gradient distribution of vascular bundles and parenchyma cells. The buckling resistance of the bionic structure was compared with that of a traditional shell of equal mass under axial pressure by finite element simulations. Results show that the load-bearing capacity of bionic shell is increased by 124.8%. The buckling mode of bionic structure is global buckling while that of the conventional shell is local buckling.     

卧龙竹类非结构性碳水化合物与叶氮含量对海拔的响应

山地由于海拔变化导致的环境因子显著差异,成为研究植物环境适应性及其对全球气候变化响应的理想区域。以卧龙自然保护区内油竹子(Fargesia angustissima Yi)与华西箭竹(Fargesia nitida(Mitford)Keng f.ex Yi)为对象,沿海拔梯度研究了两种竹子在各自海拔分布区间内组织非结构性碳水化合物(NSC)含量、比叶面积(SLA)、以及基于单位叶面积和单位叶质量的叶氮含量(Narea,Nmass)。除油竹子叶NSC,Narea和华西箭竹Nmass随海拔升高不发生变化外,两种竹子其它调查因子对海拔的响应均是非线性的,反映了环境因子随海拔的非线性变化。所有调查因子对海拔的响应均表现出明显的种间差别,这一结果除了种间生理生态特性差别的原因外,可能意味着两竹种对温度的敏感性不同。高海拔种(华西箭竹)比(中)低海拔种(油竹子)对全球气候暖化可能更加敏感。     

三月竹开花前后几种重要代谢物差异研究

三月竹(Chimonobambusa opienensis)为禾本科竹亚科寒竹属植物,是国家一级保护动物大熊猫主食竹种,也是当地农民和笋竹加工企业的一大重要经济来源。该研究以开花与未开花三月竹为材料,采用吸光光度法、差量法、苯酚硫酸法、考马斯亮蓝G-250染色法、愈创木酚显色法、邻苯三酚自氧化法,对三月竹开花前后各部位多种重要代谢物进行测定,并用统计方法进行差异分析。结果表明:三月竹开花后,叶与次生枝叶绿素含量分别下降14.42%和71.39%(P0.05);次生枝与主枝油脂含量分别下降20.93%和26.04%(P0.05);叶与次生枝可溶性糖含量分别上升21.04%和17.81%,淀粉上升8.33%和8.21%,纤维素上升17.62%和8.52%(P0.05);叶与次生枝可溶性蛋白质含量分别下降30.07%和37.31%(P0.05);上叶POD活性上升122.01%(P0.05)。这说明三月竹开花与多种有机营养和生化指标的变化关联,可通过监测叶与次生枝叶绿素含量,次生枝与主枝油脂含量,叶与次生枝可溶性糖、淀粉、纤维素含量,叶与次生枝可溶性蛋白质含量,上叶POD活性来实现对三月竹生长的管理调控。该研究结果可为进一步研究三月竹开花衰老机理和延期开花提供参考。

Research on ecological stoichiometry in bamboos: From biological basis to applications in silviculture of bamboo forests

Bamboo ecology and nutrient management require guidance of a set of theoretical principles. By focusing on the contents of multiple nutrient elements and their ratios and summarizing recent research findings in biology, ecology and silvics of bamboos, this paper seeks to establish the bamboo ecological stoichiometry (BES) in order to support the sustainable development of bamboo forests. It is considered that: (1) bamboos have the ubiquitous characteristics of stoichiometry, with average leaf C:N:P of 380:16:1, which complies to the “homeostasis hypothesis”; (2) the internal factors such as organs, ages and development stages and the external factors such as soil, climate and harvest can all affect the characteristics of bamboo stoichiometry; (3) changes in the ecological stoichiometry of bamboos affect the bamboo biological and ecological processes including photosynthesis, nutrients uptakes, flowering, shootings and growth, community dynamics, and qualities of bamboo products; (4) the principles of BES have been preliminarily used to guide the nutrient diagnosis, balanced fertilization, and production of high-quality and high-yield bamboos. As a new tool, BES can be further improved to integrate biology and silviculture under the background of ecological and environmental protection and food safety. Future research should place more emphasis on elucidating the ecological homeostatic mechanisms for more bamboos, as well as on understanding the stoichiometric principles in producing high-quality bamboo shoots, the bamboo-soil stoichiometric interaction processes, the nutrient diagnosis and stoichiometric balanced fertilization, and the optimal ecosystem management of bamboo forests.     

诱导物和金属离子对竹子白腐菌降解影响的研究

研究了4种诱导物和5种金属离子对白腐菌降解竹子的影响。结果表明这4种诱导物对木质素的降解没有明显的促进作用,低浓度的吐温80抑制纤维素的降解,降解率仅为3．057％;5种离子对木质素降解均有促进作用,一定浓度的离子明显地抑制纤维素的降解,其中Ca^2＋对纤维素降解的抑制作用最强,降解率仅为0．620％;诱导物和离子对半纤维素降解率影响较小;吐温80和Ca^2＋能显著提高半纤维素和木质素的选择系数,其中添加Ca^2＋时半纤维素和木质素选择性系数分别为66．565和49．331,初步显示：部分诱导物和金属离子可以有效影响白腐菌对竹子的选择性降解。     

不同海拔典型竹种枝叶大小异速生长关系

为了分析竹子枝-叶大小间的权衡关系,本研究对武夷山不同海拔典型竹种(毛竹、箬竹、肿节少穗竹、毛竿玉山竹和武夷山玉山竹)小枝的叶片总质量、茎质量、单叶质量和出叶强度等性状进行测定.结果表明: 随海拔升高,5个竹种间小枝上总叶质量与茎质量的异速生长指数呈显著下降趋势.竹种内,毛竹、箬竹和肿节少穗竹总叶质量与茎质量在不同海拔上均拥有共同异速生长指数(分别为0.94、0.85、0.84).毛竿玉山竹和武夷山玉山竹的叶茎质量也存在共同异速生长指数(0.79).除武夷山玉山竹外,竹子单叶质量与出叶强度之间均呈显著的负相关关系.5个竹种的单叶质量和出叶强度之间存在共同异速生长指数-1.12.总之,竹类植物的小枝总体上倾向于在低海拔环境中着生更多的叶片,而在高海拔生境下则投资更多的生物量到茎的构造上.尽管竹种间小枝的茎投资随海拔升高而增加,但其基于茎质量的出叶强度策略取决于叶片大小的构建而不是海拔生境差异.

本文对袁重桂、张洪德(1990)提出的大熊猫-竹子种群的数学模型做了较大的改进,加入了修正项(m-x2)y2/km得到新模型x=rx-ix-αx2-cy,y=by-dy-ey2-(m-x)y2/km其中的生命系数是作者在冕宁县冶勒自然保护区作实际资料收集统计得来的;并将α作为参数,当改变参数α时,正平衡点B是稳定的焦点或是不稳定的焦点;分支值α0存在于一个很小的区间,模型的相图的基本结构发生了较大的变化,出现了一个稳定的极限环。     

AFLP 引物组合数量对准确研究竹子系统关系的影响

利用AFLP技术对26个竹子种类进行了多样性分析, 以探索引物组合数量对准确研究竹子类群系统关系的影响。实验共随机选取10对AFLP引物, 并对所得10组AFLP标记数据随机组合后进行Nei氏遗传距离/UPGMA聚类分析。每对AFLP引物 扩增数据为一组, 随着用于聚类统计的AFLP标记数据随机组合数量的增加, 26个竹子种类的聚类关系趋向一致。这提示我们,在系统学研究中, 足够数量的引物组合是获得供试材料间准确聚类关系的基础, 应采用对各AFLP引物组合数据随机累加后进行聚类分析的方法, 以聚类关系为标准来确定用于分析供试品种的最少引物组合数量。
