东北天然针阔混交林凋落物磷素空间异质性及其影响因素

以天然云冷杉(Picea jezoensis var.microsperma(Lindl.) W.C.ChengL.K.Fu and Abies nephrolepis(Trautv.) Maxim.)针阔混交林为研究对象,基于4块1 hm~2固定样地林分调查数据和等距离网格布点取样的400个半分解层凋落物样品的养分测定数据,采用地统计学方法,分析凋落物磷浓度、归还量及利用效率的空间格局特征及其影响因素。结果表明:4块样地凋落物磷浓度均值为1.26 g/kg,归还量均值为24.57 kg/hm~2,利用效率均值为841.74,均表现为中等强度变异,具有明显的空间异质性,且同一样地,变异程度呈现出磷归还量磷利用效率磷浓度。凋落物磷浓度、归还量(样地III和IV结构比大于75%,其空间异质性主要由随机效应引起,不适合进行空间插值)和利用效率主要受结构性因素影响,具有较高的空间自相关性。同一样地磷利用效率的空间异质性较磷浓度及归还量低,各样地磷浓度、归还量和利用效率空间自相关范围分别为9.9—40.5 m、11.9—52.9 m和8.1—39.3 m。同一样地磷利用效率的分形维数高于磷浓度,空间格局较磷浓度复杂,磷浓度空间依赖性更强,具有更好的结构性。凋落物磷浓度、归还量(除样地III和IV)和利用效率呈现条带状和斑块状梯度性分布,且磷浓度和利用效率的空间分布格局相似。凋落物磷浓度、归还量和利用效率受到郁闭度、物种数和植物多样性等多种因子的影响。     

热激处理对冷藏枇杷果实冷害的生理作用

枇杷(Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.)果实采后经48～52℃、10 min的热激处理,然后2～5℃贮藏,通过对贮藏期间果实冷害级别、呼吸速率、过氧化物酶、过氧化氢酶、苯丙氨酸解氨酶活性和质膜相对透性变化的分析,研究贮前热激处理对冷藏枇杷果实冷害的生理作用.结果表明,2～5℃低温可诱导枇杷果实呼吸速率和苯丙氨酸解氨酶活性异常升高,果实冷害程度与苯丙氨酸解氨酶活性之间呈正相关,相关系数r=0.926.热激处理能降低冷藏条件下(2～5℃)枇杷果实呼吸速率的异常升高,减轻由于低温胁迫造成的果肉细胞膜损伤,提高枇杷果实的过氧化物酶和过氧化氢酶活性,降低苯丙氨酸解氨酶的活性.贮前热激处理有推迟和减轻枇杷果实冷害症状发生、降低果肉低温劣变的作用.贮前热激处理结合低温冷藏是延长枇杷果实贮藏寿命的有效措施之一.     

Photosystem II photochemistry and physiological parameters of three fodder shrubs, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Nitraria retusa</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Atriplex halimus</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Medicago arborea</Emphasis> under salt stress

Nitraria retusa and Atriplex halimus (xero-halophytes) plants were grown in the range 0–800 mM NaCl while Medicago arborea (glycophyte) in 0–300 mM NaCl. Salt stress caused a marked decrease in osmotic potential and a significant accumulation of Na⁺ and Cl⁻ in leaves of both species. Moderate salinity had a stimulating effect on growth rate, net CO₂ assimilation, transpiration and stomatal conductance for the xero-halophytic species. At higher salinities, these physiological parameters decreased significantly, and their percentages of reduction were higher in A. halimus than in N. retusa whereas, in M. arborea they decreased linearly with salinity. Nitraria retusa PSII photochemistry and carotenoid content were unaffected by salinity, but a reduction in chlorophyll content was observed at 800 mM NaCl. Similar results were found in A. halimus, but with a decrease in the efficiency of PSII (F′v/F′m) occurred at 800 mM. Conversely, in M. arborea plants we observed a significant reduction in pigment concentrations and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters. The marked toxic effect of Na⁺ and/or Cl⁻ observed in M. arborea indicates that salt damage effect could be attributed to ions’ toxicity, and that the reduction in photosynthesis is most probably due to damages in the photosynthetic apparatus rather than factors affecting stomatal closure. For the two halophyte species, it appears that there is occurrence of co-limitation of photosynthesis by stomatal and non-stomatal factors. Our results suggest that both N. retusa and A. halimus show high tolerance to both high salinity and photoinhibition while M. arborea was considered as a slightly salt tolerant species.     

Early detection of Biscogniauxia nummularia in symptomless European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) by TaqMan quantitative real-time PCR

AIMS: To develop a quantitative real-time PCR (Rt PCR) assay for the early detection of Biscogniauxia nummularia, a xylariaceous fungus that causes strip-canker and wood decay on European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.). METHODS AND RESULTS: The molecular assay was based on TaqMan chemistry using species-specific primers and a fluorogenic probe designed on the ITS1 sequence of rRNA gene clusters. The specificity of the oligonucleotides and the probe were tested using the DNA of B. nummularia isolates from different geographic areas, of phylogenetically related species, and of some fungi commonly colonizing European beech bark and wood. A total of 31 symptomless and symptomatic shoots of European beech were collected from three forest sites in the Apennine Mountains of Italy. The percentage of positive detections of B. nummularia with the TaqMan assay was 78.6%, compared with only 14.3% of positive isolations on growth media for two sites. CONCLUSIONS: In shoots, the quantitative Rt PCR assay detected down to 8.0-fg fungal DNA per microgram of total DNA extracted. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The assay developed in quantitative Rt PCR, by using TaqMan chemistry, revealed a rapid and sensitive method useful for the early detection of B. nummularia in symptomless European beech twigs.     

中亚滨藜盐囊泡形态结构与发育研究

应用石蜡切片技术,通过光学显微镜和扫描电镜研究了中亚滨藜(Atriplex centralasiaticaIljin)盐囊泡的形态结构与发育.结果表明:中亚滨藜的盐囊泡起源于叶原基、茎尖及幼叶处的表皮细胞,细胞质浓厚,它经过平周分裂(不均等分裂)形成泡状细胞和柄细胞,有的柄细胞继续分裂形成2个柄细胞,其结构由1~2个柄细胞和顶端1个膨大的泡状细胞构成,外面包被一层很厚的多层次的角质层.中亚滨藜的耐盐结构———盐囊泡是一种适应性结构,具有进一步研究、应用的价值.     

NaCl胁迫对疣苞滨藜种子萌发和早期幼苗生长的影响

在光/暗(12 h/12 h)条件下研究了温度、苞片和NaCl浓度对疣苞滨藜种子萌发及其恢复的影响,同时观察萌发后幼根在NaCl中的生长和恢复情况.结果显示:(1)疣苞滨藜种子在温度周期为5℃/2℃、15℃/5℃、20℃/10℃、25℃/5℃、25℃/15℃中处理12 d后种子萌发率均达到80%以上,其最适萌发温度为25℃/15℃.(2)苞片对种子萌发不存在抑制作用,但能够延缓萌发时间.(3)低浓度的NaCl能促进种子萌发和幼根的伸长,且在0.2 mol/L时达到最大,在0.8 mol/L时完全抑制种子萌发和幼苗的生长.(4)经过不同浓度NaCl预处理后的种子,其萌发恢复率随原处理浓度的升高而升高,且最终萌发率都高于对照.研究表明,NaCl处理对疣苞滨藜种子没有造成伤害,其抑制萌发是通过渗透效应而不是离子毒害;疣苞滨藜种子和幼苗对盐分的耐性是其适应盐渍荒漠环境的重要原因.

Cadmium accumulation in Atriplex halimus subsp. schweinfurthii and its influence on growth,proline, root hydraulic conductivity and nutrient uptake

Atriplex halimus subsp. schweinfurthii is a newly found cadmium (Cd)-hyperaccumulator, but there have been no detailed studies on its physiological responses when Cd is hyperaccumulated. A. halimus was grown in hydroponic conditions to investigate the effect of cadmium chloride (CdCl₂) on growth, water status, leaf chlorophyll concentration, proline and Cd accumulation. Treatments were prepared by adding 0, 50, 100, 200 and 400 μM CdCl₂ to the nutrient medium. Plant growth was significantly affected at high-Cd treatments. Increased CdCl₂ decreased chlorophyll concentration, transpiration and root hydraulic conductivity (L₀). Hence water flux had only a little effect on the uptake of Cd in A. halimus seedlings. In contrast, proline content increased with increasing CdCl₂ concentration. Plants accumulated substantial amount of Cd in different plant parts (shoot and root). Most of the Cd taken up was retained in roots (606.51 μg g⁻¹DW after 15 d at 400 μM CdCl₂). The addition of Cd in the culture medium affected calcium (Ca) and potassium (K) nutrition in both shoot and root. A. halimus provides a new plant resource for exploring the mechanism of Cd hyperaccumulation and has potential for use in the phytostabilization of Cd-contaminated salt soils.     

Growth and N2 fixation in mixed cropping of Medicago arborea and Atriplex halimus grown on a salt-affected soil using a 15N tracer technique

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate dry matter (DM), nitrogen yield, N₂ fixation (Ndfa) and soil N uptake (Ndfs) in the shrubby medic (Medicago arborea) and saltbush (Atriplex halimus) grown in pots either solely or in a mixture on a salt-affected soil, using ¹⁵N dilution method. The combined DM of both species was considerably higher than that of solely grown shrubs. The inclusion of saltbush in the mixed cropping system decreased Ndfs by shrubby medic and enhanced % Ndfa without affecting amounts of N₂ fixed. It can be concluded that the use of mixed cropping system of shrubby medic and saltbush could be a promising bio-saline agricultural approach to utilize salt affected soils in terms of forage yield and N₂ fixation.
