Very few studies have evaluated the effects of UV-B radiation on trees. especially deciduous species. In this study we evaluate the effects of supplemental UV-B radiation on the growth and photosynthetic capacity of sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua L.). Sweetgum seedlings were grown for 2 years in the field under either ambient or supplemental UV-B radiation. Artificial UV-B radiation was supplied by fluorescent lamps at a maximum daily supplementation of either 3.1 or 5.0 kJ of biologically effective UV-B radiation. Over the 2-year period, supplemental UV-B radiation had little effect on total plant biomass or photosynthetic capacity. However, subtle changes in leaf physiology, carbon allocation, and growth were observed. Supplemental UV-B radiation reduced photosynthetic capacity only during the first year, while leaf area and biomass were reduced in the second year. Alterations in carbon allocation included an increase in branch number and root to shoot ratio. While these data do not indicate that the productivity of sweetgum would likely be compromised by an increase in solar UV-B radiation, they do suggest that the UV-B portion of the solar spectrum contributes to the regulation of sweetgum growth and development. Therefore the possibility of significant consequences to sweetgum due to possible increases in UV-B radiation cannot be ruled out. 相似文献

Detrimental effects of vines on tree growth in successional environments have been frequently reported. Little is known, however, about the relative importance of below and aboveground competition from vines on tree growth. The objective of this study was to quantify and compare the growth responses of Liquidambar styraciflua saplings to below and/or aboveground competition with the exotic evergreen vine, Lonicera japonica (Japanese honeysuckle), and the native deciduous vine, Parthenocissus quinquefolia (Virginia creeper). Soil trenching and/or vine-trellising were used to control the type of vine competition experienced by trees. Comparisons among untrenched treatments tested for effects of belowground competition. Comparisons among trenched treatments tested for effects of aboveground competition. After two growing seasons, Lonicera japonica had a greater effect on the growth of L. styraciflua than did P. quinquefolia. This effect was largely due to root competition, as canopy competition only had a negative effect on tree growth when it occurred in combination with root competition. Leaf expansion was consistently and similarly affected by all treatments which involved belowground competition. 相似文献

The (18)F-labeled beta2-adrenergic receptor ligand (R,R)(S,S) 5-(2-(2-[4-(2-[(18)F]fluoroethoxy)phenyl]-1-methylethylamino)-1-hydroxyethyl)-benzene-1,3-diol, a derivative of the original highly selective racemic fenoterol, was synthesized in an overall radiochemical yield of 20% after 65 min with a radiochemical purity higher than 98%. The specific activity was in the range of 50-60 GBq/micromol. In vitro testing of the non-radioactive fluorinated fenoterol derivative with isolated guinea pig trachea was conducted to obtain an IC(50) value of 60 nM. Preliminary ex vivo organ distribution and in vivo experiments with positron emission tomography (PET) on guinea pigs were performed to study the biodistribution as well as the displacement of the radiotracer to prove specific binding to the beta2-receptor. 相似文献

One-year old tubers of two hybrid calla lily (calla) cultivars (Zantedeschia ‘Pot of Gold’ and ‘Majestic Red’) were inoculated with the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF), Glomus intraradices, or not, and grown at three different rates of phosphorus (P) supply to asses the effects of AMF-inoculation on plant development
(time of shoot emergence and flowering), flowering (number, length and rate of flowering), and tuber biomass and composition
over two growing cycles (2002, 2003). Tubers and flowers of calla responded differently to AMF inoculation. Differences in
mycorrhizal responsiveness between cultivars was related to differences in P requirements for flower and tuber production,
and the influence of P supply on resource allocation to different reproductive strategies. Inoculation increased shoot production
and promoted early flowering, particularly in 2003. Inoculated plants also produced larger tubers than non-inoculated plants,
but only increased the number of flowers per plant in 2003. High P supply also increased tuber biomass, but decreased the
number of flowers per plant in 2002. Plants grown at a moderate P-rate, produced the most flowers in 2003. For ‘Majestic Red’,
benefits from AMF were primarily in terms of tuber yield and composition, and AMF effects on marketable flower production
could potentially have negative impact on production strategies for growers. Inoculation of ‘Pot of Gold’ primarily influenced
flower production and aspects of tuber quality that caused detectable enhancement of tuber yield and flowering in the second
growing cycle following inoculation (2003). The results of this study show that the responses of calla to AMF are partially
a function of how nutrient supply alters resource allocation to sexual and vegetative reproduction. Whether AMF-induced changes
in resource allocation to flowering and tubers significantly alters commercial productivity and quality of calla depends on
the crop production goals (e.g. tubers, cut flowers or potted plants).

Competitive effects of vines on their tree hosts are well documented, but the mechanisms involved in these interactions are poorly understood. The objectives of this study were to measure the effects of below- and/or aboveground competition from the vines Lonicera japonica and Parthenocissus quinquefolia on availability of light, water, and nitrogen to the host tree Liquidambar styraciflua, and to examine the relationship between resource availability and tree growth. Light penetration through tree canopies, pre-dawn leaf water potential, and leaf nitrogen concentration were used as predictors of light, water, and nitrogen availability to the tree, respectively. Vine presence significantly reduced light penetration through the tree canopies, but this reduction was not clearly related to the growth responses of trees. Vines did not reduce the pre-dawn leaf water potential of competing trees, which was consistently above -0.5 MPa for the duration of the study. Leaf nitrogen concentration of trees, on the other hand, was significantly reduced by belowground competition with L. japonica. The positive correlation between the annual average leaf nitrogen concentration and tree diameter growth suggested that competition for nitrogen mediated the effects of belowground competition of vines on tree growth. 相似文献

Certain mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are frequent in the Ashkenazi Jewish population. Several factors contribute to this increased frequency, including consanguineous marriages and an event known as a “bottleneck”, which occurred in the past and caused a drastic reduction in the genetic variability of this population. Several studies were performed over the years in an attempt to elucidate the role of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in susceptibility to breast cancer. The aim of this study was to estimate the carrier frequency of certain common mutations in the BRCA1 (185delAG and 5382insC) and BRCA2 (6174delT) genes in an Ashkenazi Jewish population from Porto Alegre, Brazil. Molecular analyses were done by PCR followed by RFLP (ACRS). The carrier frequencies for BRCA1 185delAG and 5382insC were 0.78 and 0 respectively, and 0.4 for the BRCA2 6174deT mutation. These findings are similar to those of some prior studies but differ from others, possibly due to excluding individuals with a personal or family history of cancer. Our sample was drawn from the community group and included individuals with or without a family or personal history of cancer. Furthermore, increased dispersion among Ashkenazi subpopulations may be the result of strong genetic drift and/or admixture. It is therefore necessary to consider the effects of local admixture on the mismatch distributions of various Jewish populations. 相似文献

The importance of foliar absorption of water and atmospheric solutes in conifers was recognised in the 1970s, and the importance of fog as a water source in forest environments has been recently demonstrated. Araucaria angustifolia (Araucariaceae) is an emergent tree species that grows in montane forests of southern Brazil, where rainfall and fog are frequent events, leading to frequent wetting of the leaves. Despite anatomical evidence in favour of leaf water absorption, there is no information on the existence and physiological significance of a such process. In this study, we test the hypothesis that the use of atmospheric water by leaves takes place and is physiologically relevant for the species, by comparing growth, water relations and nutritional status between plants grown under two conditions of soil water (well‐watered and water‐stressed plants) and three types of leaf spraying (none, water and nutrient solution spray). Leaf spraying had a greater effect in improving plant water relations when plants were under water stress. Plant growth was more responsive to water available to the leaves than to the roots, and was equally increased by both types of leaf spraying, with no interaction with soil water status. Spraying leaves with nutrient solution increased shoot ramification and raised the concentrations of N, P, K, Zn, Cu and Fe in the roots. Our results provide strong indications that water and nutrients are indeed absorbed by leaves of A. angustifolia, and that this process might be as important as water uptake by its roots. 相似文献

In order to perform their functions as photosynthetic organs, leaves must cope with excess heat and potentially damaging ultraviolet radiation. Possible increases in the UV-B portion of the solar spectrum may place an additional burden on leaves, and this could be particularly important for young expanding leaves with poorly developed UV-B defense mechanisms. We evaluated the effects of supplemental UV-B radiation on leaf expansion and the development of photosynthetic capacity and pigments in sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua L.) seedlings. Seedlings were grown in the field under either ambient or ambient plus 3 or 5.0 kJ of biologically effective supplemental UV-B radiation. Although final leaf size was unaffected, the rate of leaf elongation and accumulation of leaf area was slower in leaves exposed to the lower supplemental UV-B irradiance. In contrast, chlorophyll accumulation and the development of photosynthetic capacity was more rapid in plants exposed to the higher, compared to the lower supplemental UV-B irradiance. The accumulation of anthocyanins and other putative flavonoids or UV-absorbing compounds was scarcely affected by exposure to supplemental UV-B radiation. These results suggest that the UV-B portion of the solar spectrum may, in the absence of gross affects on biomass, exert subtle influences on leaf ontogeny and the development of photosynthetic pigments and capacity in sweetgum. 相似文献

Araucaria angustifolia exhibits cryptogeal germination, where the root–hypocotyl axis emerges first and penetrates into the soil. In Araucaria bidwillii, the whole process of transferring reserves from the seed to the seedling takes place before shoot emergence, and there is
a major storage of these reserves in the underground hypocotyl, which assumes a tuberous form. In A. angustifolia, the shoot emerges before seed reserves are depleted. Though it does not grow like a tuber, the hypocotyl of A. angustifolia grows thicker than the adjacent taproot during initial growth, and we hypothesize that it may act as a major sink for seed
reserves during this stage. The study tests this hypothesis by evaluating changes in the mass of different plant parts during
initial growth. Four harvests were conducted during a ~6-month period to compare the dry mass of different fractions (attached
seed, seedling, its shoot and root and the hypocotyl) of seedlings growing under darkness and high light. While seed reserves
were still being depleted, the hypocotyl mass showed an initial increase and then a reduction. This was more abrupt when light
was available. After seed mass had stabilized, the mass of the hypocotyl continued to decrease in the dark-grown seedlings,
but showed a second increase in the light-grown ones. Results confirm the hypothesis that the hypocotyl represents a major
sink for the seed reserves of A. angustifolia, acting as an underground storage structure for the growing seedling. Its reserves seem to be important for sustaining initial
shoot growth and might also act as a storage sink for photosynthates. 相似文献
