小麦与叶锈菌互作过程中细胞程序性死亡的细胞学观察

小麦(Triticum aesetivum)品种洛夫林10和叶锈菌(Puccinia recondita f.sp tritici)小种162、165分别组成不亲和组合与亲和组合。透射电镜观察表明,在小麦与叶锈菌的不亲和组合中,接种后12h,侵染点周围叶肉细胞核变形;接种后24h,核内染色质开始凝聚,并趋于细胞核边缘,同时叶绿体膨胀;接种后48h,核内染色质凝聚加剧,叶绿体开始解体;最终在接种后72h,细胞核、叶绿体完全解体,线粒体开始退化。此外,内质网和液泡共同行使溶酶体功能,吞噬各种细胞器残体及原生质降解组分。以上结果表明:在小麦与叶锈菌不亲和组合的互作过程中,寄主细胞呈现细胞程序性死亡的典型特征。而在亲和组合中,叶肉细胞间隙中可见有大量菌丝蔓延,菌丝与寄主细胞壁接触后分化产生吸器母细胞。菌丝的存在对寄主细胞的超微结构产生一定影响。从接种后24h开始,与菌接触的细胞出现质膜下陷,叶绿体稍显膨胀;在接种后48h、72h,大部分叶绿体膨胀,而其它细胞器无明显变化。     

Interactive effects of α-NAA and UV-B radiation on the endogenous hormone contents and growth of Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim seedlings

The impact of UV-B radiation on endogenous hormones in plants has recently drawn attention from researchers. The mechanism for reduced stem elongation by UV-B might be due to changes in the phytohormone levels, especially IAA, which plays a role in stem elongation. In this study, effects of UV-B radiation on Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim (T. kirilowii) seedlings in greenhouse-grown plants were investigated. The results indicated that: (1) In comparison to controls, exposure to 0.029 Jm^?2 s^?1. UV-B radiation led to accumulation of endogenous abscisic acid (ABA) and zeatinriboside (ZR) in the plant contents, and decreased contents of endogenous indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and gibberellic acid (GA_1/3). Exposure to UV-B radiation reduced the height and leaf area of plants. As a result, total biomass (plant dry weight) was lower. (2) In comparison to controls, addition of 2 mg l^?1 α-naphthaleneacetic acid (α-NAA) slightly increased the contents of IAA, GA_1/3 and ZR, and decreased the content of ABA in leaves. This addition of α-NAA significantly increased plant height and leaf area, but only slightly increased total biomass. (3) Addition of α-NAA to UV-B-exposed plants: increased the content of endogenous IAA, GA_1/3 and ZR; decreased accumulation of endogenous ABA; and increased plant height and leaf area in comparison to plants that only were exposed to UV-B. Moreover, total biomass increased slightly. This suggests that addition of α-NAA may compensate to a certain extent for the lack of IAA resulting from UV-B radiation; it also increases the content of GA_1/3 and ZR, decreases the accumulation of ABA, and promotes the growth of plants.

植被叶面积指数遥感监测模型

叶面积指数是植被定量遥感的重要参数,区域的时序列叶面积指数揭示了区域生态的演化过程,反演方法上主要是通过植被指数建立相关模型实现的,对于不同地区或不同气候带而言,模型的通用性以及各种植被指数在模型中的灵敏度都需做进一步的探讨。以江苏省宜兴市作为研究区,采用2002年8月22日获得的Landsat-5TM图像数据和2003年8月23～26日采用LAI-2000进行的野外实测植被叶面积指数(LAI)数据,分别探讨了植被指数(VI)与LAI的一元、多元线性回归模型和非线性回归模型,其中的非线性回归模型包括对数、指数、乘幂和多项式回归模型。结果表明,VI与LAI之间的最佳回归模型为多元线性回归模型,R2达0.864;采用逐步选择剔除法,遴选出了用于回归模型的植被指数为RVI、PVI、SAVIL=0.35、MSAVI、ARVIγ=1、ARVIγ=0.5和SARVI。经模型LAI=-ln((VI-VI∞)/(VIg-VI∞))/KVI检验,预测值(y)与实测值(x)的拟合度较好y=0.5345x 1.3304,R2为0.7379。RVI与LAI的三次多项式回归模型也较好,R2为0.7806。再次为RVI与LAI的一元线性回归模型,R2为0.7726,比值植被指数RVI在反演叶面积指数模型中具有较高的灵敏度。

The assignment of a Thinopyrum distichum (Thunb.) Löve-derived translocation to the long arm of wheat chromosome 7D using endopeptidase polymorphisms

Summary Endopeptidase zymograms of the translocation line Indis revealed the presence of several major and minor bands that had differential expression in coleoptile and seed tissues. While Indis lacks Ep-D1a, which is present in the parental cultivar Inia 66, it also may not express any of the Th. distichum bands. The Indis zymogram was found to be identical to that of an isogenic line of Inia 66 possessing Lr19. Since the absence of an Ep-D1a product appears to be linked to the 7DL translocation, it is possible to use the null condition as a marker for both the Lr19 or Indis translocations. The Indis translocation also did not show recombination with the cn-D1 chlorophyl mutant on 7DL, confirming that a part of 7D was involved. The results of a telocentric mapping experiment involving the 7D telosomes indicated that in Indis a chromosome segment from Th. distichum replaced a large section of 7DL of Inia 66.     

Nutrient return with leaf litter fall in Fagus sylvatica forests across a soil fertility gradient

Leaf litter fall is an important nutrient flux in temperature deciduous forests which supplies a large part of the rapidly mineralisable nutrient fraction to the soil. This study investigates nutrient return with leaf litter fall in 36 old-growth forest stands of Fagus sylvatica across a broad gradient of soil fertility covering 9 mesozoic and kaenozoic parent material types (three limestones, two sandstones, two clay stones, one sand and one loess substrate). Study objectives were to analyse (i) the dependency of leaf litter nutrient concentrations on soil fertility, and (ii) the relationship between soil fertility and nutrient return with leaf litter at the stand level. Beech stands on the nine parent material types produced similar annual leaf litter masses irrespective of soil fertility or acidity. Leaf litter from the nine parent materials showed only minor variation with respect to N and K concentrations (factors of 1.5 and 1.4), moderate variation for Ca, Mg and P concentrations (factors of 2.2 to 2.9), and high variation for Al and Mn concentrations (factors of 6.7 and 10.5). Consequently, annual nutrient return with litter fall (leaf litter mass x litter nutrient concentration) was more similar among the parent materials for N (165–273 mmol m⁻² yr1) ⁻¹ and K (16–30 mm m⁻² yr⁻¹) than for Ca, P, Mg, Mn and Al. A possible explanation is increased N deposition in recent time. According to a correlation analysis, return rates of N, P, K and Mg (but not Ca) were independent of the pool size of the respective nutrient in the soil. N return rate was neither influenced by the soil pools of Nt, plant- available P (Pa) or exchangeable Ca, K and Mg, nor by soil acidity or the exchangeable Al pool. P return, in contrast, showed a negative relation to soil fertility. We hypothesize that nutrient fluxes with leaf litter fall do not necessarily reduce the fitness of tree populations as has been postulated from a tree-centred view. Rather, we suggest that nutrient fluxes with litter fall can increase, instead of decrease, plant fitness by improving nutrient availability in the densely rooted topsoil which reduces the roots’ carbon and nutrient costs of nutrient acquisition.     

Growth and dry-mass partitioning in tomato as affected by phosphorus nutrition and light

We studied the effects of phosphorus (P) and light on the physiological and morphological components of growth of young tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Capita). The importance of dry‐mass partitioning and starch accumulation in explaining the effects of P limitation on growth was examined more closely. Plants were grown at a wide range of exponential P supply rates (between 70 and 320 mg g^?1 d^?1) and one free‐access treatment (1 mm ). Two light levels (70 and 300 µmol m^?2 s^?1) were applied. Growth response coefficients (GRCs) were calculated to address the importance of different growth parameters in explaining relative growth rate (RGR). At both light levels, net assimilation rate (NAR) was more important than leaf area ratio (LAR) in explaining the effects of P on growth as indicated by GRCs. At less severe P limitation, LAR became more important and NAR less important. Dry‐mass partitioning to both roots and leaves played a minor role in determining the effects of P limitation on growth as indicated by low GRCs. The increase in starch at mild P limitation showed that the assimilate supply was not limiting. At severe P limitation, the rate of photosynthesis was decreased, as suggested by the decrease in starch accumulation.
