How does the C4 grass Eragrostis pilosa respond to elevated carbon dioxide and infection with the parasitic angiosperm Striga hermonthica?

Eragrostis pilosa (Linn.) P Beauv., a C₄ grass native to east Africa, was grown at both ambient (350 μmol mol⁻¹ and elevated (700 μmol mol⁻¹) CO₂ in either the presence or absence of the obligate, root hemi-parasite Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. Biomass of infected grasses was only 50% that of uninfected grasses at both CO₂ concentrations, with stems and reproductive tissues of infected plants being most severely affected. By contrast, CO₂ concentration had no effect on growth of E. pilosa , although rates of photosynthesis were enhanced by 30–40% at elevated CO₂. Infection with S. hermonthica did not affect either rates of photosynthesis or leaf areas of E. pilosa , but did bring about an increase in root:shoot ratio, leaf nitrogen and phosphorus concentration and a decline in leaf starch concentration at both ambient and elevated CO₂. Striga hermonthica had higher rates of photosynthesis and shoot concentrations of soluble sugars at elevated CO₂, but there was no difference in biomass relative to ambient grown plants. Both infection and growth at elevated CO₂ resulted in an increase in the Δ¹³C value of leaf tissue of E. pilosa , with the CO₂ effect being greater. The proportion of host-derived carbon in parasite tissue, as determined from δ¹³C values, was 27% and 39% in ambient and elevated CO₂ grown plants, respectively. In conclusion, infection with S. hermonthica limited growth of E. pilosa , and this limitation was not removed or alleviated by growing the association at elevated CO₂.     

Occurrence of Potential Brassinosteroid Precursor Steroids in Seeds of Wheat and Foxtail Millet

Triticum aestivum L.) and foxtail millet (Setaria italica Beauv.) were found by GC-MS to contain, in addition to bulk sterols, 4-en-3-one steroids including 24-ethylcholesta-4,24(28)Z- dien-3-one (a new steroid), 24-methylcholest-4-en-3-one, 24-ethylcholesta-4,22E-dien-3-one and 24-ethylcholest-4-en-3-one, as well as 5α-steroidal 3-one compounds including 24-methyl-5α-cholestan-3-one, 24-ethyl-5α-cholestan-3-one and 24-ethyl 5α-cholest-22E-en-3-one (in S. italica only). Analysis of free sterol and steryl ester fractions indicated that campestanol and sitostanol were present at high levels in both seeds. These results suggest that the seeds of T. aestivum and S. italica synthesize campestanol from campesterol via 24-methylcholest-4-en-3-one and 24-methyl-5α-cholestan-3-one as has already been demonstrated in Arabidopsis thaliana L., and also produce sitostanol from sitosterol via 24-ethylcholest-4-en-3-one and 24-ethyl-5α-chotestan-3-one. Biosynthetic relationships of campestanol and sitostanol with C₂₈ and C₂₉ brassinosteroids are discussed. Received 4 September 1998/ Accepted in revised form 26 November 1998     

毛尖紫萼藓(Grimmia pilifera P.Beauv) PSII光化学效率对脱水和复水的响应

利用快速叶绿素荧光动力学技术研究了毛尖紫萼藓脱水和复水过程中叶绿素荧光变化,结果显示在脱水过程中毛尖紫萼藓PSⅡ的最大光化学效率（Fv/Fm）、光合机构电子传递的量子产额（ETo／ABS）、捕获的激子将电子传递到电子传递链中超过QA的其它电子受体的概率（ETo／TRo）、单位叶面积的反应中心的数量（RC／CSo）以及PSⅡ受体库（Area）对叶片含水量的响应等均存在相对含水量阈值。在阈值范围内脱水,对以上荧光参数影响不大,低于阈值后,各荧光参数值迅速下降,直至PSⅡ反应中心完全关闭以及光化学过程结束。再复水后,毛尖紫萼藓光合机构的最大捕光效率、实际光化学效率、PSⅡ反应中心受体侧的电子传递链以及反应中心均能得到快速而有效的恢复。表明一定时间内脱水不会对毛尖紫萼藓的光合器官造成严重伤害,光合系统仍维持在可恢复状态。     

谷子胚性细胞系的超低温冰冻保存

超低温冰冻保存是保存生物材料的一种方法。目前禾本科植物原生质体培养的主要问题之一是胚性细胞系的状态不稳定。试验比较了影响谷子(Setaria italica(L.)Beauv)胚性细胞系超低温冰冻保存的因素如：不同的冰冻保护液组成,不同培养时间的胚性细胞系以及细胞系的恢复生长和原生质体培养。结果表明：本实验采用超低温冰冻保存方法不会影响胚性细胞系原生质体的培养特性,能够保持或提高原生质体培养的植板率。     

谷子穗分化的扫描电镜观察

利用扫描电镜对复合品种冀谷１１号的穗分化进行了系统观察,比较了夏谷和春谷穗分化的异同。提出了谷子穗分化划分为穗分化前期、生长锥伸长期、枝梗分化期、小穗和刚毛分化期以及小花分化期共５个时期,就谷子刚毛起源穗分化与栽培育种的关系等问题进行了讨论。     

狗尾草属5种植物叶片的形态特征

为了解狗尾草属(Setaria Beauv.)植物的叶片形态特征,采用石蜡切片法和徒手切片法观察5 种狗尾草属植物的叶片形态结构。结果表明,5 种狗尾草属植物叶表皮的解剖特征较一致,叶表皮细胞长度、气孔器大小、叶厚、角质层厚度等性状在种间存在显著差异,其中长细胞形状、垂周壁深浅、气孔器副卫细胞的形状和刺毛数量可以用来区分种类。叶片性状的相关分析表明,叶片气孔密度与气孔长度以及气孔宽度呈显著负相关,泡状细胞厚度与角质层厚度以及上表皮厚度呈显著正相关。根据禾本科叶表皮特征的演化趋势,狗尾草(S. viridis)最原始,金色狗尾草(S. glauca)和大狗尾草(S. faberii)较进化,皱叶狗尾草(S.plicata)和莩草(S. chondrachne)最高级。这些为狗尾草属植物分类学和系统演化关系提供资料。     

谷子幼苗对土壤铅、铬的生长响应及吸收积累的差异性

采用盆栽土培试验,研究了谷子幼苗对土壤中不同含量铅（Pb）、铬（Cr）的生长响应和吸收积累的差异性。结果表明,在所试浓度（50～800 mg·kg^-1）范围内,Pb、Cr在谷子幼苗地上部和地下部的积累量存在较大差异,幼苗重金属的吸收富集和转运系数均为Pb大于Cr、Pb、Cr胁迫对幼苗生物量的影响表现为低浓度的促进和高浓度的抑制作用,但Cr对生物量的影响比Pb更强。相同处理条件下,幼苗茎叶中可溶性蛋白质、DNA含量和增色效应对Pb、Cr的响应也有明显差别,Cr对幼苗的生理毒性和DNA损伤效应的作用强度大于Pb。     

谷子抽穗期与农艺性状的相关与回归分析

抽穗期是农作物的重要性状,决定着作物的地区和季节适应性。明确不同谷子品种适合的种植区域,对生产实践具有重要意义。在海南、洛阳、吉林3个地区连续2年调查了160份谷子资源的抽穗期、株高、穗长、穗重等9个主要性状。相关性分析发现3个地区抽穗期与千粒重均呈负相关,而在海南、洛阳2个地区抽穗期与株高、叶片数、穗长、穗粗、穗重、穗码数、穗粒重均呈正相关,吉林地区抽穗期与穗粒重呈负相关,说明随着抽穗期的适当延长,谷子主要通过增加子粒数目提高产量,而抽穗期过度推迟,则可能导致产量潜力下降;方差分析表明,3个地区抽穗期对千粒重、株高、叶片数、穗长、穗粗、穗重、穗粒重、穗码数均有显著影响(P<0.05)。在海南,随着抽穗期的延长穗粒重递增,抽穗期40 d以上品种穗粒重最大;在洛阳,抽穗期50～60 d的品种穗粒重最高;在吉林,抽穗期70～80 d的品种穗粒重最高。求得每个品种在3个地区的穗粒重均值,以此为依据筛选出53份广生态适应性品种,在3个地区成功建立了叶片数、株高、穗码数对抽穗期的最佳回归方程。本研究表明一定抽穗期范围内谷子主要通过增加穗粒数而不是千粒重来实现增产,筛选出的广生态适应性谷子资源以及建立的回归方程为开展广适应育种、利用抽穗期信息对叶片数、株高、穗码数进行准确选择奠定了基础。
