Mobilization and Acquisition of Sparingly Soluble P-Sources by Brassica Cultivars under P-Starved Environment I. Differential Growth Response,P-Efficiency Characteristics and P-Remobilization

Phosphorus （P） starvation is highly notorious for limiting plant growth around the globe. To combat P-starvation, plants constantly sense the changes in their environment, and elicit an elegant myriad of plastic responses and rescue strategies to enhance P-solublization and acquisition from bound soil P-forms. Relative growth responses, P-solublization and P- acquisition ability of 14 diverse Brassica cultivars grown with sparingly soluble P-sources （Rock-P （RP） and Ca3（PO4）2 （TCP）） were evaluated in a solution culture experiment. Cultivars showed considerable genetic diversity in terms of biomass accumulation, concentration and contents of P and Ca in shoots and roots, P-stress factor （PSF） and P use efficiency. Cultivars showed variable P-stress tolerance, and cultivars depicting low PSF and high P-efficiency values were better adaptable to P-starvation. In experiment 2, after initial feeding on optimum nutrition for 12 d after transplanting （DAT）, class-I （low P-tolerant （Oscar and Con-II）） and class-II （low P-sensitive （Gold Rush and RL-18）） cultivars were exposed to P-free environment for 25 d. All of the cultivars remobilized P from above ground parts to their roots during growth in P-free environment, the magnitude of which was variable in tested cultivars. P-concentrations （[P]s） at 37 DAT were higher in developing compared with developed leaves. Translocation of absorbed P from metabolically inactive to active sites in P- stressed plants may have helped class-I cultivars to establish a better rooting system, which provided a basis for enhanced P-utilization efficiency （PUE） and tolerance against P-stress. By supplying TCP and RP spatially separated from other nutrients in split root study, class-I cultivars were still able to mobilize RP and TCP more efficiently compared with class-II cultivars. To compare the growth behavior under P-stress, cultivars were grown in pots for 41 d after sowing, using a soil low in P （NaHCO3-extractable P = 3.97 mg/kg, M     

Mobilization and Acquisition of Sparingly Soluble P-Sources by Brassica Cultivars under P-Starved Environment II. Rhizospheric pH changes,Redesigned Root Architecture and Pi-Uptake Kinetics

Non-mycorrhizal Brassica does not produce specialized root structures such as cluster or dauciform roots but is an effective user of P compared with other crops. In addition to P-uptake, utilization and remobilization activity, acquisition of orthophosphate （Pi） from extracellular sparingly P-sources or unavailable bound P-forms can be enhanced by biochemical rescue mechanisms such copious H＋-efflux and/or carboxylates exudation into rhizosphere by roots via plasmalemma H＋ ATPase and anion channels triggered by P-starvation. To visualize the dissolution of sparingly soluble Ca-phosphate （Ca-P）, newly formed Ca-P was suspended in agar containing other essential nutrients. With NH4＋ applied as the N source, the precipitate dissolved in the root vicinity can be ascribed to rhizosphere acidification, whereas no dissolution occurred with nitrate nutrition. To observe in situ rhizospheric pH changes, images were recorded after embedding the roots in agar containing bromocresol purple as a pH indicator. P-tolerant cultivar showed a greater decrease in pH than the sensitive cultivar in the culture media （the appearance of typical patterns of various colors of pH indicator in the root vicinity）, and at stress P-level this acidification was more prominent. In experiment 2, low P-tolerant class-I cultivars （Oscar and Con-II） showed a greater decrease in solution media pH than low P-sensitive class-II （Gold Rush and RL-18） cultivars, and P-contents of the cultivars was inversely related to decrease in culture media pH. To elucidate P-stress- induced remodeling and redesigning in a root architectural system, cultivars were grown in rhizoboxes in experiment 3. The elongation rates of primary roots increased as P-supply increased, but the elongation rates of the branched zones of primary roots decreased. The length of the lateral roots and topological index values increased when cultivars were exposed to a P-stress environment. To elucidate Pi-uptake kinetics, parameters related to P influx： maximal

植物对气候变化生理生态响应的不确定性分析

生态系统对全球气候变化的响应模式有利于人类预测与适应未来生态环境变化,植物作为陆地生态系统的重要组成部分,对全球气候变化的响应具有重要作用.本文通过对近年来植物对气候变化的生理生态响应研究中(包括定点控制实验,空间代替时间样带),植物响应模式的复杂性、多样性及可变性等诸多不确定性进行分析.以探讨预测未来气候情景下植物的动态变化及生理生态响应过程.分析结果认为.造成这些不确定性的主要原因包括:(1)利用空间代替时间的样带研究中,往往忽略了植物的非线性响应,存在明显的阈值;(2)样带及定点研究中,由于各种气候因子的耦合.很难确定各种气候因子对植物生理生态学特性影响的权重;(3)定点控制实验中往往忽略了植物对气候变化的适应性,使实验结果很难代表更长时间尺度上的反映模式;(4)在相同的气候变化条件下,不同植物的响应有可能存在明显差异.提出了今后植物对气候变化生理生态响应研究的建议.
