Characteristics of the microbial community in rhizosphere of Camptotheca acuminata cultured with exotic invasive plant Eupatorium adenophorum

The traditional culture-dependent plate counting and culture-independent small-subunit-ribosomal RNA gene-targeted molecular techniques, Single-Strand Conformation Polymorphism (SSCP) and terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (tRFLP) combined with 16S rDNA clone library were adopted to investigate the impacts of secretion from Camptotheca acuminata (abbreviated to Ca) roots on the quantities and structure of eukaryotic microbes and bacteria in the rhizosphere, and the possibility that Ca controls exotic invasive plant Eupatorium adenophorum (Ea). The counting results indicated that the number of bacteria increased in turn in rhizospheres of Ea, Ca-Ea mixed culture and Ca, while that of eukaryotic microbes decreased. PCR-SSCP profiles showed eukaryotic microbial bands (corresponding to biodiversity) in rhizosphere of Ea were more complex than those of Ca and CE. Meristolohmannia sp., Termitomyces sp. and Rhodophyllus sp. were the dominant populations in the rhizosphere of Ca. Bacterial terminal restriction fragments (TRFs) profiles showed no difference among three kinds of rhizospheres, and the sequences of the 16S rDNA clone library from Ca rhizospheres were distributed in 10 known phyla, in which phylum Proteobacteria were the absolute dominant group and accounted for 24.71% of the cloned sequences (δ-Proteobacteria accounted for up to 17.65%), and phyla Acidobacteria and Bacteroidetes accounted for 16.47% and 10.59% of the cloned sequences, respectively. In addition, high performance liquid chromatography detected a trace amount of camptothecin and hydroxycamptothecin in the rhizospheric soil of Ca and CE, but examined neither camptothecin nor hydroxycamptothecin in rhizospheric soil of Ea. Therefore, invasion and diffusion of Ea evidently depended on distinguishing the eukaryotic community structure, but not on that of the bacterial pattern. Ca was able to alter the eukaryotic community structure of invasive Ea by secreting camptothecin and hydroxycamptothecin into rhizospheres, and may benefit the control of overspread of Ea. This study provided theoretical evidence for rhizospheric microbial aspects on substituting Ca for Ea.

西双版纳两种生态特性不同的外来草本植物对生长环境光强的适应策略

于干热季测定了紫茎泽兰和阳春砂仁叶片比叶重、色素含量、光合能力和叶绿素荧光动力学参数,探讨了它们适应环境光强的策略及其生理生态学机制。36 %光强下砂仁叶片光抑制较明显;10 0 %光强下紫茎泽兰光抑制不严重,光系统 最大光能转换效率和量子效率始终维持在较高水平。随着环境光强的升高,紫茎泽兰最大净光合速率(Pmax)、比叶重、非光化学猝灭系数(N PQ)和单位面积叶片类胡萝卜素含量升高,单位干重叶片叶绿素含量降低。紫茎泽兰能通过形态和生理特性的变化适应大幅度的光强范围,这可能是其表现强入侵性的重要原因之一。强光下紫茎泽兰热耗散并不多,主要通过提高Pmax利用更多的光能来保护光合机构,光系统 反应中心可逆失活也能耗散部分光能。虽然砂仁Pmax也能随生长环境光强的升高而增大,但其值较低,增幅不大,相反其热耗散的增加较多,N PQ较高,白天初始荧光明显低于黎明,表明砂仁主要是通过热耗散来保护光合机构。     

Chemical Constituents of Plants from the Genus Eupatorium (1904–2014)

Eupatorium (family: Compositae), which comprises nearly 1200 species, is distributed throughout tropical America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. Up to now, the reported constituents from the genus Eupatorium involve flavonoids, terpenoids, pyrrolizidine alkaloids, phenylpropanoids, quinonoids, essential oils, and some others, altogether more than 300 compounds. Studies have shown that Eupatorium and its active principles possess a wide range of pharmacological activities, such as cytotoxic, antifungal, insecticidal, antibacterial, anti‐inflammatory, and antinociceptive activities. Currently, effective monomeric compounds or active parts have been screened for pharmacological activities from Eupatorium in vivo and in vitro. Increasing amount of data supports application and exploitation for new drug development.     

光和不同打破种子休眠方法对紫茎泽兰种子萌发及幼苗状态的影响

紫茎泽兰是著名的外来入侵植物,作为入侵的第一步,发芽及其幼苗生长应该与其强入侵能力有关.基于此,通过不同光照强度处理和不同打破休眠方法的双因素实验,旨在探讨紫茎泽兰种子是否具有需光萌发特性以及低温、水杨酸、聚乙二醇,硝酸钾等常规打破休眠方法和光照如何共同影响其萌发、幼苗生长等问题.结果表明:在全光照条件下,不同处理的紫茎泽兰种子的萌发率均大于63％,铝箔纸覆盖的遮光条件(0.23％光照)萌发率均大于60％,而在完全黑暗条件下,其萌发率较低(均小于30％),这表明紫茎泽兰种子具有需光萌发的特性.有别于以往对其它植物种子的报道,低温处理、水杨酸处理、聚乙二醇处理和硝酸钾处理不能代替光照打破种子休眠,显示紫茎泽兰种子可能处于一种强迫休眠状态(种子静态).全光照与水杨酸处理、PEG处理对幼苗生长具有交互影响:黑暗下水杨酸处理浓度与幼苗生物量成正相关(P＜0.05),但全光照和加铝箔下不相关(P＞0.05);全光照下PEG处理浓度与根长显著正相关(P＜0.05),而加铝箔和黑暗下不相关(P＞0.05).紫茎泽兰种子需光萌发特征及其幼苗生长特点是人为破坏表土壤、深层土壤种子库地表化导致快速入侵的基础.结果也为通过引入适宜树种造林来控制光照因子对紫茎泽兰进行生态控制提供了理论依据.

紫茎泽兰醇提物的毒理学研究

为确保以紫茎泽兰提取物为主要原药的植物源农药的安全性,对紫茎泽兰醇提物进行了小鼠经口急性毒性试验、大白兔急性皮肤和眼刺激试验、小鼠骨髓嗜多染红细胞微核计数及小鼠精子畸形试验等急性毒性和遗传毒性试验。结果表明,受试物对两种性别的小鼠经口急性毒性试验,LD50大于5000mg／kg,对大白兔皮肤无刺激性;小鼠骨髓嗜多染红细胞微核试验及小鼠精子畸形试验结果均为阴牲,受试物未见遗传毒性。     

地形因素对外来入侵种紫茎泽兰的影响

 在紫茎泽兰(Eupatorium adenophorum)的分布区内设置171块临时样地,研究它的盖度和多度与经纬度、海拔、坡向、坡度、风向坡等地形因素的关系。结果表明,紫茎泽兰入侵最严重地区位于102° E左右,随着纬度增加入侵能力逐渐下降,但不显著(p>0.05);紫茎泽兰在中国的分布以云贵高原,尤其是云南高原为主体,通过云贵高原与原产地墨西哥、哥斯达黎加的气候条件对比,推断紫茎泽兰将来在中国的分布区主体还将局限在云贵高原,但不排除在某些局域气候条件下,形成斑块的可能;该次调查的海拔范围为75 m～2 330 m,以200 m为一个海拔梯度,多项式回归分析显示：紫茎泽兰的盖度与多度随着海拔升高而增加（p<0.05）,但在2 000 m左右已趋平缓,表明紫茎泽兰适宜生长在海拔2 000 m左右; ANOVA的结果显示：坡向对紫茎泽兰的入侵影响显著（p<0.05）,通过多重比较发现,北坡和南坡的盖度比东坡大（p<0.05）;北坡的多度比东坡大（p<0.05）,说明东坡不易被紫茎泽兰入侵,而北坡和南坡紫茎泽兰的盖度和多度差异并不显著（p>0.05）,说明温度与湿度可能不是造成不同坡向紫茎泽兰入侵差异的主导因素;坡度对紫茎泽兰入侵的影响并不显著（p>0.05）;风向坡对紫茎泽兰的盖度影响不显著（p>0.05）,而对多度的影响显著（p<0.05）,背风坡的多度显著大于侧风坡。
