云南猪屎豆属植物订正（续）－植物地理学讨论

本文根据猪屎豆属植物的外部形态和细胞染色体特征以及地理分布特点,论述了该属植物的起源、发展和迁移等问题;并运用组相似性和种相似性分析方法,论证了非洲、马达加斯加和印度之间,以及印度与其在亚洲的邻近地区之间在种类组成上的共有关系和亲缘关系。本文还侧重于该属植物在云南的分布格局,提出它们从印度向中国散布的可能存在路线。

Report on Charophytes from rice fields in northern Italy including the alien species Chara fibrosa ssp. benthamii

The paper describes the discovery in rice fields of northern Italy of three species of Charophytes rarely reported in Italy, Chara fibrosa ssp. benthamii, a tropical taxon not native to the European Charophyte Flora, previously recorded in Italy only once, in the nineteenth century, Nitella translucens and N. mucronata.     

Effects of Tropical Rotation Crops on Meloidogyne arenaria Population Densities and Vegetable Yields in Microplots

The effects of 12 summer crop rotation treatments on population densities of Meloidogyne arenaria race 1 and on yields of subsequent spring vegetable crops were determined in microplots. The crop sequence was: (i) rotation crops during summer 1991 ; (ii) cover crop of rye (Secale cereale) during winter 1991-92; (iii) squash (Cucurbita pepo) during spring 1992; (iv) rotation crops during summer 1992; (v) rye during winter 1992-93; (vi) eggplant (Solanum melongena) during spring 1993. The 12 rotation treatments were castor (Ricinus communis), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), velvetbean (Mucuna deeringiana), crotalaria (Crotalaria spectabilis), fallow, hairy indigo (Indigofera hirsuta), American jointvetch (Aeschynomene americana), sorghum-sudangrass (Sorghum bicolor x S. sudanense), soybean (Glycine max), horsebean (Canavalia ensiformis), sesame (Sesamum indicum), and peanut (Arachis hypogaea). Compared to peanut, the first eight rotation treatments resulted in lower (P ≤ 0.05) numbers of M. arenaria juveniles on most sampling dates. Soybean, horsebean, and sesame rotations were less effective in suppressing nematodes. Yield of squash was greater (P ≤ 0.05) following castor, cotton, velvetbean, and crotalaria than following peanut. Compared to the peanut rotation, yield of eggplant was enhanced (P ≤ 0.10) following castor, crotalaria, hairy indigo, American jointvetch, and sorghum-sudangrass. Several of these rotation crops may provide a means for depressing M. arenaria population densities on a short-term basis to enhance yields in a subsequent susceptible vegetable crop.     

Weaver Ants Increase Premature Loss of Leaves Used for Nest Construction in Rhizophora Trees1

Oecophylla ants utilize living leaves when they construct their nests. We investigated how Oecophylla smaragdina nests in southern Thailand affected leaf performance on the mangrove tree Rhizophora mucronata. Leaves used in nests and neighboring leaves showed a higher rate of premature leaf loss compared to control leaves farther from the nests. However, a tree's total cost due to the higher premature leaf loss was estimated to be approximately between 3‐ and 20‐fold lower than the benefit derived from ant protection, detected in a previous study ( Offenberg et al. 2004 ).     

Population Dynamics of Plant Nematodes in Cultivated Soil: Effect of Summer Cover Crops in Newly Cleared Land

Five nematode species were studied for ability to develop on seven summer cover crops in rotation with tomato transplants grown every third year. Increase of Tylenchorhynchus claytoni, Trichodorus christiei, Pratylenchus brachyurus, Helicotylenchus dihystera, and Xiphinema americanum in newly cleared soil varied with different cover crops. No substantial nematode population increases occurred until the third summer of crop growth. All species except X. americanum and H. dihystera developed best on sudangrass and millet. Crotalaria caused substantial increase of H. dihystera and P. brachyurus but suppressed the other species. Marigold suppressed all species except X. americanum which increased substantially on marigold during the 5th year. Cotton favored rapid increase of T. christiei, and moderate increases of all species except T. claytoni which was suppressed. Beggarweed favored moderate increases of T. christiei and H. dihystera but suppressed the other species. Hairy indigo favored rapid increase of H. dihystera, moderate increases of T. christiei and X. americanum, and suppressed the other species. Number of marketable transplants was reduced after 2 years of sudangrass and cotton; these crops favored increases of T. christiei and T. claytoni. The better cover crops prevented increases of most plant parasitic nematodes in land cropped to tomato, a suitable host.     

接种刺状无梗囊霉对番茄生长及psy1与psy2基因表达的影响

本研究利用前期筛选获得的丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)刺状无梗囊霉XJ27侵染矮化观赏型番茄品种“小汤姆”,分析番茄植株生物量、叶绿素含量以及果实番茄红素含量等相关指标,并采用半定量RT-PCR与实时PCR检测对番茄红素合成相关基因psy1与psy2的表达情况.结果表明：与对照组相比,刺状无梗囊霉处理组番茄的生物量显著增加,增产效果明显;番茄红素合成相关基因psy1与psy2表达增强,果实中的番茄红素含量显著提高.表明刺状无梗囊霉XJ27是一株很有应用潜力的AM真菌.
