Response of photosynthetic machinery of field-grown kiwifruit under Mediterranean conditions during drought and re-watering

Groups of Actinidia deliciosa A. Chev. C.F. Liang et A.R. Ferguson var. deliciosa kiwifruit plants were subjected to soil water shortage (D), while other groups were well irrigated (I). Variations in chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence indices and leaf gas exchange were determined once plants were severely stressed (25 d after the beginning of the D-cycle). Daily maximum values of photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) were ca. 1 650 μmol(photon) m⁻² s⁻¹, while air temperatures peaked at 34.6 °C. High irradiance per se did not greatly affect the efficiency of photosystem (PS) 2, but predisposed its synergistic reduction by D co-occurrence. Fluorescence showed transient photodamage of PS2 with a complete recovery in the afternoon in both D and I plants. Upon re-watering the efficiency of PS2 was suboptimal (95 %) at day 2 after irrigation was reinitiated. At early morning of the day 5 of re-watering, photosynthesis and stomatal conductance recovered at about 95 and 80 % of I vines, respectively, indicating some after-stress effect on stomatal aperture. Once excessive photons reached PS2, the thermal dissipation of surplus excitation energy was the main strategy to save the photosynthetic apparatus and to optimize carbon fixation. The rather prompt recovery of both Chl a fluorescence indices and net photosynthetic rate during re-watering indicated that kiwifruit photosynthetic apparatus is prepared to cope with temporary water shortage under Mediterranean-type-climates.     

Immunolocalisation of arabinogalactan proteins and pectins in Actinidia deliciosa pollen

Summary. The cell wall composition of germinating pollen grains of Actinidia deliciosa was studied by immunolocalization with monoclonal antibodies against arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) and pectins. In ungerminated pollen, the JIM8 epitope (against a subset of AGPs) was located in the intine and in the cytoplasm, while the MAC207 epitope (against AGPs) was only located in the exine. After germination, the JIM8 and MAC 207 epitopes were located in the cytoplasm and in the pollen tube wall. The Yariv reagent that binds to AGPs was added to the germination medium inducing a reduction or inhibition in pollen germination. This indicates that AGPs are present in the growing pollen tube and play an important role in pollen germination. To identify the nature of the pectins found in pollen grains and tubes, four monoclonal antibodies were used. The JIM5 epitope (against unesterified pectins) was located in the intine, more intensely in the pore region, and along the pollen tube wall, and the JIM7 epitope (against methyl-esterified pectins) was also observed in the cytoplasm. After germination, the JIM5 epitope was located in the pollen tube wall; although, the tube tip was not labelled. The JIM7 epitope was located in the entire pollen tube wall. LM5 (against galactans) showed a labelling pattern similar to that of JIM5 and the pattern of LM6 (against arabinans) was similar to that of JIM7. Pectins show different distribution patterns when the degree of esterification is considered. Pollen tube wall pectins are less esterified than those of the pollen tube tip. The association of AGPs with pectins in the cell wall of the pollen grain and the pollen tube may play an important role in the maintenance of cell shape during pollen growth and development.Correspondence and reprints: Instituto de Biologia Molecular e Celular, Universidade do Porto, Rua do Campo Alegre, 823, 4150-180 Porto, Portugal.

猕猴桃观花品种‘江山娇’与中华猕猴桃回交后代的性别分离与开花性状变异

以猕猴桃种间杂种品种‘江山娇’（Actinidia chinensis Planch×A.eriantha Benth）与中华猕猴桃（A.chinensis Planch）雄株杂交得到的杂交后代群体为实验材料,于2012、2013和2016年分别对该群体的雌雄性别比及其开花性状进行了调查。结果表明,杂交群体的雌雄性别比例小于1：1,即雄株偏多。杂交后代的花瓣颜色以红色为基础,但红色的分布区域、深浅及类型出现明显分离。聚类分析显示,这些杂交后代可通过花瓣CMYK色卡取值分为4个类群,其中猩红色与紫罗兰红色2个变异类型与观察表型完全一致。杂交后代群体的始花期、开花天数、花朵大小、开花量及单花花瓣数等性状均出现广泛分离,且因不同年份而出现变化。群体中杂交个体进入始花期的平均时间跨度为14 d,群体的始花期进入高峰时个体平均比例仅占群体的25.5%。2016年群体开花时间最长,最多有47.4%的个体开放10~13 d;2013年杂交群体的开放时间最短,有55.2%的后代开花3~5 d。本研究筛选出一批花瓣数多、花朵较大或单花序花朵较多的优良单株,并在后代群体中共发现21个含不同花数的花序组合类型。

Effect of defoliation on the arbuscular mycorrhizas of three perennial pasture and rangeland grasses

The effect of different frequencies of defoliation on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) colonization and external hyphae production of three perennial grass species growing in pot culture in a non-sterile soil was investigated. Roots were assessed by acid fuschin staining and succinate dehydrogenase activity to obtain measurements of total and metabolically active AMF colonization. The grass species, Digitaria eriantha, Lolium perenne and Themeda triandra are of similar bunch morphology and responded to defoliation with massive root death. In Themeda defoliation was also associated with a decline in leaf growth rate, phosphorus accumulation in new leaf tissue, AMF colonization and external hyphae densities. In Digitaria and Lolium, AMF colonization declined but external hyphal densities were unaffected by defoliation frequency. In these two species phosphorus accumulation and leaf regrowth rates were also unchanged by defoliation. Only in Lolium did defoliation result in slightly more inactive AMF colonization. The results suggest that Lolium and Digitaria which are pasture species are better able to compensate for root loss following fairly frequent defoliation by maintaining an external AMF hyphal network. Themeda, a rangeland grass, which is more intolerant of grazing, has a lower capacity for sustaining its hyphal network when defoliated. Grazing is therefore likely to affect community dynamics because of variable effects of defoliation frequency on the mycorrhizal symbiosis of different plant species.
