臭氧胁迫使两优培九倒伏风险增加——FACE研究

近地层臭氧(O₃)浓度升高使作物生长发育受到抑制进而使产量下降,但O₃胁迫条件下作物抗倒性状的变化及其可能原因均不清楚。FACE(Free Air gas Concentration Enrichment)试验在很少扰动的自然农田实施,其特有的空间优势为研究这一问题提供了最好的机会。依托全球唯一的稻田臭氧FACE技术平台,以杂交稻两优培九为供试材料,设置大气背景O₃浓度和高O₃浓度两个水平首次对这一问题进行了实验研究。结果表明:高O₃浓度使水稻抽穗期单茎(去除叶鞘)倒5、倒4和倒3节间的平均倒伏指数分别增加25%、16%和14%,使抽穗后35 d对应节间倒伏指数分别增加13%、12%和2%,除抽穗后35 d倒3节间外均达显著或极显著水平;高浓度O₃使水稻抽穗期和抽穗后35 d植株倒5、倒4和倒3节间的抗折力和弯曲力矩均下降,前者降幅明显大于后者;高O₃浓度对抽穗期和抽穗后35 d倒5、倒4、倒3和倒2和倒1节间的长度和粗度影响较小,但使各节间单位长度鲜重和干重一致下降,以单位长度干重降幅更大;高O₃浓度使结实期倒5、倒4、倒3、倒2和倒1节间可溶性糖和淀粉含有率均下降,抽穗后35 d降幅大于抽穗期。以上数据表明,未来高浓度臭氧环境条件下两优培九结实期的倒伏风险明显增加,这主要与基部节间抗折能力明显削弱有关,而后者可能又与节间充实程度下降有关。     

Ozone-induced oxidative stress: Mechanisms of action and reaction

In this review we explore several models which might explain ozone (O₃)-induced injury to plant foliage. Ozone enters the cell through the wall and plasma membrane where active oxygen species are generated. If the concentration of O₃ is very high, unregulated cell death will occur. Alternatively, the active oxygen species, or succeeding reaction products, may serve as elicitors of regulated plant responses. These regulated responses include the induction of ethylene which could serve as a primary signal for—or a facilitator of—subsequent responses. The role of regulated suppression of photosynthetic genes and induction of chitinases and β-1,3-glucanase in programmed cell death is explored. Induction of antioxidants, enzymes of lignification and glutathione- S -transferase are discussed in the context of O₃-induced cell repair or cell protection. A second model is postulated to explain induction of accelerated foliar senescence by low levels of O₃. The notion that O₃-induced elicitation of responses in the nucleus might lead to increased oxidative stress in the chloroplast is considered as a mechanism for accelerating the rate of degradation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate car-boxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco). The mechanisms by which O₃ induces loss of Rubisco, and the relationship to accelerated foliar senescence are discussed.     

Effects of elevated ozone concentration on CH4 and N2O emission from paddy soil under fully open‐air field conditions

We investigated the effects of elevated ozone concentration (E‐O₃) on CH₄ and N₂O emission from paddies with two rice cultivars: an inbred Indica cultivar Yangdao 6 (YD6) and a hybrid one II‐you 084 (IIY084), under fully open‐air field conditions in China. A mean 26.7% enhancement of ozone concentration above the ambient level (A‐O₃) significantly reduced CH₄ emission at tillering and flowering stages leading to a reduction of seasonal integral CH₄ emission by 29.6% on average across the two cultivars. The reduced CH₄ emission is associated with O₃‐induced reduction in the whole‐plant biomass (?13.2%), root biomass (?34.7%), and maximum tiller number (?10.3%), all of which curbed the carbon supply for belowground CH₄ production and its release from submerged soil to atmosphere. Although no significant difference was detected between the cultivars in the CH₄ emission response to E‐O₃, a larger decrease in CH₄ emission with IIY084 (?33.2%) than that with YD6 (?7.0%) was observed at tillering stage, which may be due to the larger reduction in tiller number in IIY084 by E‐O₃. Additionally, E‐O₃ reduced seasonal mean NO_x flux by 5.7% and 11.8% with IIY084 and YD6, respectively, but the effects were not significant statistically. We found that the relative response of CH₄ emission to E‐O₃ was not significantly different from those reported in open‐top chamber experiments. This study has thus confirmed that increasing ozone concentration would mitigate the global warming potential of CH₄ and suggested consideration of the feedback mechanism between ozone and its precursor emission into the projection of future ozone effects on terrestrial ecosystem.

A unifying explanation for variation in ozone sensitivity among woody plants

Tropospheric ozone is considered the most detrimental air pollutant for vegetation at the global scale, with negative consequences for both provisioning and climate regulating ecosystem services. In spite of recent developments in ozone exposure metrics, from a concentration‐based to a more physiologically relevant stomatal flux‐based index, large‐scale ozone risk assessment is still complicated by a large and unexplained variation in ozone sensitivity among tree species. Here, we explored whether the variation in ozone sensitivity among woody species can be linked to interspecific variation in leaf morphology. We found that ozone tolerance at the leaf level was closely linked to leaf dry mass per unit leaf area (LMA) and that whole‐tree biomass reductions were more strongly related to stomatal flux per unit leaf mass (r² = 0.56) than to stomatal flux per unit leaf area (r² = 0.42). Furthermore, the interspecific variation in slopes of ozone flux–response relationships was considerably lower when expressed on a leaf mass basis (coefficient of variation, CV = 36%) than when expressed on a leaf area basis (CV = 66%), and relationships for broadleaf and needle‐leaf species converged when using the mass‐based index. These results show that much of the variation in ozone sensitivity among woody plants can be explained by interspecific variation in LMA and that large‐scale ozone impact assessment could be greatly improved by considering this well‐known and easily measured leaf trait.     

北京远郊区臭氧污染及其对敏感植物叶片的伤害

臭氧(O3)是一种氧化性很强且生物危害很大的二次污染物.监测表明北京远郊区O3浓度高于近郊区和城区,经常超过敏感植物O3临界浓度(78.5μg/m3),自然植物的暴露剂量AOT40(超过78.5 μg/m3的空气O3浓度小时值累计量)值达到了98.9mg/m3,可能已经对植物生长造成危害.通过对远郊区O3浓度监测点(北京蟒山森林公园)26种乔木和灌木植物的调查,参考国外有关植物野外观测和模拟实验的植物O3伤害症状特征及植物O3伤害鉴别标准,发现其中15种植物出现了比较明显的O3伤害症状,表现为叶片出现点状、块状黄斑或褐色灼伤状干枯,表明北京远郊区的乔木和灌木已经受到了空气O3污染的危害.另外11种植物也出现了类似O3危害的伤害症状,需要进一步的研究验证是否由O3污染造成.     

Assessing the genetic relatedness of higher ozone sensitivity of modern wheat to its wild and cultivated progenitors/relatives

Modern wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most ozone(O₃)-sensitive crops. However, little is known about its geneticbackground of O₃ sensitivity, which is fundamental for breedingO₃-resistant cultivars. Wild and cultivated species of winterwheat including donors of the A, B and D genomes of T. aestivumwere exposed to 100 ppb O₃ or charcoal-filtered air in opentop chambers for 21 d. Responses to O₃ were assessed by visibleO₃ injury, gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, relativegrowth rate, and biomass accumulation. Ozone significantly decreasedlight-saturated net photosynthetic rate (–37%) and instantaneoustranspiration efficiency (–42%), but increased stomatalconductance (+11%) and intercellular CO₂ concentration (+11%).Elevated O₃ depressed ground fluorescence (–8%), maximumfluorescence (–26%), variable fluorescence (–31%),and maximum photochemical efficiency (–7%). Ozone alsodecreased relative growth rate and the allometric coefficient,which finally reduced total biomass accumulation (–54%),but to a greater extent in roots (–77%) than in the shoot(–44%). Winter wheat exhibited significant interspeciesvariation in the impacts of elevated O₃ on photosynthesis andgrowth. Primitive cultivated wheat demonstrated the highestrelative O₃ tolerance followed by modern wheat and wild wheatshowed the lowest. Among the genome donors of modern wheat,Aegilops tauschii (DD) behaved as the most O₃-sensitive followedby T. monococcum (AA) and Triticum turgidum ssp. durum (AABB)appeared to be the most O₃-tolerant. It was concluded that thehigher O₃ sensitivity of modern wheat was attributed to theincreased O₃ sensitivity of Aegilops tauschii (DD), but notto Triticum turgidum ssp. durum (AABB) during speciation.

Carbon dioxide balance of a fen ecosystem in northern Finland under elevated UV-B radiation

The effect of elevated UV‐B radiation on CO₂ exchange of a natural flark fen was studied in open‐field conditions during 2003–2005. The experimental site was located in Sodankylä in northern Finland (67°22′N, 26°38′E, 179 m a.s.l.). Altogether 30 study plots, each 120 cm × 120 cm in size, were randomly distributed between three treatments (n=10): ambient control, UV‐A control and UV‐B treatment. The UV‐B‐treated plots were exposed to elevated UV‐B radiation level for three growing seasons. The instantaneous net ecosystem CO₂ exchange (NEE) and dark respiration (R_TOT) were measured during the growing season using a closed chamber method. The wintertime CO₂ emissions were estimated using a gradient technique by analyzing the CO₂ concentration in the snow pack. In addition to the instantaneous CO₂ exchange, the seasonal CO₂ balances during the growing seasons were modeled using environmental data measured at the site. In general, the instantaneous NEE at light saturation was slightly higher in the UV‐B treatment compared with the ambient control, but the gross photosynthesis was unaffected by the exposure. The R_TOT was significantly lower under elevated UV‐B in the third study year. The modeled seasonal (June–September) CO₂ balance varied between the years depending on the ground water level and temperature conditions. During the driest year, the seasonal CO₂ balance was negative (net release of CO₂) in the ambient control and the UV‐B treatment was CO₂ neutral. During the third year, the seasonal CO₂ uptake was 43±36 g CO₂‐C m⁻² in the ambient control and 79±45 g CO₂‐C m⁻² in the UV‐B treatment. The results suggest that the long‐term exposure to high UV‐B radiation levels may slightly increase the CO₂ accumulation to fens resulting from a decrease in microbial activity in peat. However, it is unlikely that the predicted development of the level of UV‐B radiation would significantly affect the CO₂ balance of fen ecosystems in future.
