水位调控措施治理互花米草对大型底栖动物群落的影响

采用物理控制措施治理崇明东滩自然保护区外来入侵植物互花米草(Spartina alterniflora)的蔓延和扩散,对保护该地区的生物多样性具有重要的意义.研究跟踪了崇明东滩治理互花米草示范样地内水位调控措施对大型底栖动物群落的影响.结果显示,潮间带大型底栖动物的密度和生物量具有显著的季节性波动,实施持续水位调控措施样地中大型底栖动物的密度、生物量和丰富度指数均显著低于同时期对照样地.破堤排水后的恢复样地中,随着恢复时间延长,大型底栖动物密度、生物量和丰富度指数均有不同程度的恢复.应用DCA排序方法有助于进一步分析大型底栖动物群落与水位调控措施强度之间的相互关系.研究结果表明,水位调控措施会对盐沼植被中大型底栖动物的密度、生物量和多样性产生负面影响,但这种影响在治理互花米草水位调控措施结束后可逐渐自然恢复.     

模拟淹水对池杉和栓皮栎光合生理生态过程的影响

池杉（Taxodium ascendens）和栓皮栎（Quercus variabilis）是我国亚热带河岸带和库塘消落区常见的植物,对于河岸带和库塘消落区的水土保持和水源涵养具有十分重要的作用。研究通过测定二者的最大净光合速率、光饱和曲线、二氧化碳饱和曲线、根／茎／叶的可溶性糖含量、叶片的比叶重（Ieaf mass per unit area,LMA）和根系活力等指标研究了模拟淹水（50d）对两年生栓皮栎和池杉树苗生理生态过程的影响。在淹水过程中,栓皮栎的最大净光合速率不断下降,到试验结束时淹水处理的最大净光合速率降低为对照的9％,而且处理与对照差异极显著;而在整个淹水过程中池杉则在处理和对照间没有显著差异。淹水胁迫下：（1）淹水导致栓皮栎表观量子效率（φ）不断下降,淹水第6天降为对照的59．9％左右（P〈0．001）,第26天降为对照的40．9％左右（P〈0．001）,而26d的淹水对池杉的光饱和曲线却影响不大;（2）淹水导致栓皮栎羧化效率（CE）的不断下降,在正常生长条件下栓皮栎的CE为（0．331±0．075）μmolm^-2s^-1Pa^-1。淹水第10天栓皮栎的CE下降到对照的22．1％,淹水第30天降到对照的16．8％,且差异均显著（P〈0．001）。淹水对池杉的二氧化碳饱和曲线没有造成显著影响;（3）淹水导致两个种的根／茎／叶可溶性糖含量呈现动态变化。50d的淹水导致栓皮栎叶片可溶性糖含量相比于对照略有上升,茎和根可溶性糖含量显著上升。而池杉根／茎／叶可溶性糖含量对照和处理之间差异不显著;（4）淹水导致栓皮栎的比叶重持续升高,池杉的与对照没有显著差异;（5）淹水导致栓皮栎的根系活力持续下降,池杉则开始时下降后又升高,这可能与池杉在淹水过程中产生了有利于吸收氧气的不定根,而栓皮栎没有产生不定根有关。以上实验结果说明相对池杉,栓皮栎应属于对淹水较敏感的树种。短期淹水（1～10d）导致栓皮栎光合速率下降的生理生态原因应该至少包括表观量子效率和羧化效率下降两个原因。而长期淹水条件下,叶片碳水化合物的积累（LMA升高）导致的负反馈效应也可能是光合速率下降的原因之一。     

红树植物淹水胁迫响应研究进展

潮汐淹水是红树植物面临的主要环境胁迫之一,也是导致目前红树林造林成活率低的一个关键因子。由于长期适应于水淹生境,红树植物发育出一套适应于潮间带生长的抗淹水机制。综述了与红树植物相关的抗淹水胁迫响应机制,包括了形态结构、生长、水分和光合作用、膜脂过氧化系统和根系脱氢酶系统、内源激素和胁迫多胺等5个方面。提出应用人工潮汐系统研究红树植物的淹水抗性机理是确定不同种类红树植物的耐淹水能力的有效手段。并指出生长的研究是淹水胁迫响应研究的基础,而与分子手段相结合的激素水平的研究将在红树植物抗性胁迫研究中得到重视。     

不同潮汐和盐度下红树植物幼苗秋茄的化学计量特征

借助室内潮汐模拟系统,分析秋茄幼苗的叶片、茎,根在不同淹浸时间梯度和盐度梯度下N、P、K、Ca、Cl、Mg、Al、Fe、Zn、Cu、B等元素的化学计量特征变化.结果表明水文因子能够显著影响秋茄不同器官的化学计量特征;幼苗的元素化学计量在盐度和淹浸两类水文因子下表现出不同的响应特征:特别是N、K、Ca、Cl、Mg、Na、Zn,Cu元素含量在不同程度的水文胁迫下存在明显的差异;盐度组内,幼苗对Na,Cl的选择性吸收随盐度增高而增强,同时对K、Ca,Mg的吸收减弱;随盐度的增大,盐分(Na、Cl、K、Ca、Mg)在不同器官中的含量表现出趋同效应;淹浸组N:P比为3-11,盐度组N:P比为6-15,明显小于同类研究.综合分析认为秋茄幼苗受到N元素限制,而P元素始终未成为限制因子,随水文胁迫的加强,N限制也加大,且盐度胁迫比淹浸胁迫表现的更明显.通过化学计量学和水文学的分析,为摸清中国红树林保护和恢复的主要红树植物秋茄的适生环境提供科学依据.     

The influence of local elevation on the effects of secondary salinity in remnant eucalypt woodlands: Changes in understorey communities

Increasing land salinization in Australia is predicted to lead to severe declines in species diversity in affected areas, and perhaps significant numbers of species extinctions. Much of the diversity that will be lost consists of understorey and mid-storey species, yet the overwhelming majority of research has focussed on salinity tolerance in tree species. We investigated how the presence of a shallow, saline water table affected the understorey species composition, species richness and species diversity in two remnant Eucalyptus wandoo Blakely woodlands in the Western Australian wheatbelt. Species richness and species diversity were significantly lower in areas with a shallow water table at elevations < 0.5 m above the lowest local elevation, compared with both higher elevations and with areas of low elevation without a shallow water table. Species composition (Bray-Curtis similarities) was also significantly different in low elevation, saline areas. At one site, saline areas were colonized by native and alien species that were not present in the surrounding vegetation, yet the community that has developed does not contain either the species or structural diversity of the surrounding system. At the other site, no colonisation of saline areas by new species occurred. Even though small differences in elevation (< 0.5 m) at our study sites were important in moderating the impacts of salinity in areas with a shallow water table, the loss of species diversity, species richness and structural complexity in low-lying elevations indicated that the ecological risk from secondary salinity to species associated only with drainage lines, seasonally wet flats and other low-lying areas is severe. The priority is to identify those vegetation communities that are restricted to only low relative elevations within the landscape and that only occur in remnants predicted to be at a high risk of developing a shallow and saline water table.     

Physiological and biochemical events leading to vitrification of plants cultured in vitro

Water content, peroxidase activity and isoperoxidases, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity and phenolic content were comparatively analyzed in tissues of normal and vitreous plants cultured in vitro. The release of ethylene in flask atmospheres by normal and vitrifying plants was also measured. On the basis of the results, it is hypothesized that vitrification results from a burst of ethylene controlled by the peroxidase-IAA-oxidase system. An initiating stress (e.g. excess of cytokinins or of NH₄⁺ ions) would mediate the enhancement of the activity of soluble and membrane-bound peroxidases through a rapid modification of the phenolic level. The excess of ethylene in the atmosphere of stressed plants would retroinhibit its own biosynthesis and as a consequence decrease the activities of PAL and acidic peroxidases, thus hindering lignification processes. A parallel decrease in cellulose synthesis due to a diverted conversion of sugars to amino acids is expected (from data in the literature). Deficiency of both cellulose and lignin would allow more water uptake due to reduced wall pressure and bring about the hyperhydric malformations.     

大叶杨干旱和水淹胁迫的转录组分析

大叶杨（Populus lasiocarpa）是中国特有的杨属物种,干旱和水淹是影响大叶杨生长和分布范围的两个关键因子。AP2/ERF转录因子家族在植物响应非生物胁迫中发挥重要作用。本研究采用转录组测序、生物信息学分析手段并结合分子实验验证初步鉴定了参与大叶杨干旱和水淹胁迫响应的关键基因。研究结果显示：（1）在大叶杨中分别鉴定到3,986/385个响应干旱/水淹胁迫的差异表达基因,其中包括237个同时响应干旱和水淹胁迫的差异表达基因。（2）在大叶杨中共鉴定到205个AP2/ERF家族成员,系统发育分析表明其在大叶杨中主要分为5个亚家族,并显著富集于差异表达基因中。（3）筛选部分胁迫前后差异表达的PlAP2/ERF基因进行qRT-PCR实验,经证实这些基因在大叶杨受到干旱/水淹胁迫时均可被诱导表达。综上,大叶杨在水淹胁迫下的差异表达基因数量明显少于干旱胁迫,AP2/ERF基因家族的部分基因参与到大叶杨干旱/水淹胁迫的应激表达过程。

Effects of waterlogging on growth and some physiological parameters of four Brassica species

Waterlogging tolerance of four Brassica species, Brassica campestris L., B. carinata A. Br., B. juncea (L.) Czern and Coss., and B. napus L. was assessed after 4 weeks growth in greenhouse at two waterlogging treatments, unflooded control soil, and fully waterlogged soil.Shoot fresh and dry biomass, in both mean and relative terms, was highest in B. juncea and lowest in B. napus at waterlogging treatment. B. carinata was as good as B. juncea in mean shoot fresh and dry matter but it had almost same relative shoot fresh matter as that in B. campestris, but was second highest in relative shoot dry weight.Waterlogging treatment caused a marked reduction in chlorophyll content in all four species but the species difference was not evident. However, B. juncea and B. napus had lower relative total chlorophyll than the other species.A marked increase in soluble protein content of B. juncea and a significant increase in total amino acids in B. carinata was observed under waterlogged conditions as compared to the other species.At the waterlogging regime, an increase in iron content in both shoots and roots was observed in all four species. B. juncea accumulated lower amount of iron in both shoots and roots as compared to the other species, whereas B. carinata had also lower iron in the roots. The species did not differ for shoot manganese content but B. carinata had significantly higher manganese in the roots as compared to the other species.
