荒漠柠条锦鸡儿AM真菌多样性

为了阐明荒漠柠条锦鸡儿(Caragana korshinskii Kom.)根围AM真菌群落组成及其分布特点,2010年7月从河北省与内蒙古交界荒漠带选择多伦湖、黑城子和二羊点3个样地,按0—10、10—20、20—30、30—40、40—50 cm 5个土层采集柠条根围土壤样品,研究了柠条根围AM真菌物种组成、生态分布及与土壤因子的相关性。共分离鉴定出4属24种AM真菌,其中球囊霉属(Glomus)16种,是3个样地共同优势属;无梗囊霉属(Acaulospora)5种,是3个样地共有属;盾巨孢囊霉属(Scutellospora)2种;多孢囊霉属(Diversispora)1种;网状球囊霉(G.reticulatum)是黑城子和多伦湖样地优势种,二羊点亚优势种;黑球囊霉(G.melanosporum)是黑城子和二羊点样地优势种,多伦湖亚优势种;二羊点的AM真菌种类和孢子密度最高;黑城子和多伦湖样地无明显差异。AM真菌孢子密度与土壤碱解N、有机质和速效P含量极显著正相关,其中土壤碱解N影响最大。结果表明,柠条根围AM真菌物种多样性丰富,具有明显空间异质性,并与土壤因子关系密切,这为进一步分离筛选优势AM真菌菌种,充分利用AM真菌资源促进荒漠柠条生长提供了依据。     

Is the removal of aboveground shrub biomass an effective technique to restore a shrub‐encroached grassland?

Encroachment of woody plants into grasslands is a global phenomenon that has substantial impacts on pastoral productivity and ecosystem services. Over the past half century, pastoralists and land management agencies have explored various options to control woody plants in order to improve ecosystem services in shrub‐encroached grasslands. We examined the effectiveness of controlling the encroachment of the shrub Caragana microphylla into grassland in Inner Mongolia, China. We cut and removed all of the aboveground biomass from 450 shrubs, predicting that the effectiveness of this technique to control shrubs would depend on shrub morphology. Specifically, we expected that larger shrubs with more biomass would be more difficult to kill by cutting than smaller shrubs. A year after treatment, we found that cutting killed only 11% of the 450 treated shrubs, and of these, three‐quarters of the locations that they occupied reverted to grasses and one‐quarter to bare soil. Shrubs that survived the cutting treatment produced more stems and leaf biomass, and therefore had a greater leaf to stem ratio. Shrubs that died after cutting had a lower crown area and basal area, and less stem biomass than shrubs that resprouted within 12 months of cutting. There were no effects of shrub height on the fate of treated shrubs. Cutting had no effect on understory plant cover or richness, but reproductive plants were taller under shrubs that were not cut. Overall, our study showed that removing aboveground shrub biomass by cutting is an ineffective technique for “restoring” the original grassland community unless shrubs are very small. Strategic targeting of small shrubs would be a more effective technique for controlling the spread of C. microphylla in the long term.     

Interactive effects of elevated CO2 and drought stress on leaf water potential and growth in Caragana intermedia

We studied the responses of leaf water potential (Ψ_w), morphology, biomass accumulation and allocation, and canopy productivity index (CPI) to the combined effects of elevated CO₂ and drought stress in Caragana intermedia seedlings. Seedlings were grown at two CO₂ concentrations (350 and 700 μmol mol⁻¹) interacted with three water regimes (60–70%, 45–55%, and 30–40% of field capacity of soil). Elevated CO₂ significantly increased Ψ_w, decreased specific leaf area (SLA) and leaf area ratio (LAR) of drought-stressed seedlings, and increased tree height, basal diameter, shoot biomass, root biomass as well as total biomass under the all the three water regimes. Growth responses to elevated CO₂ were greater in well-watered seedlings than in drought-stressed seedlings. CPI was significantly increased by elevated CO₂, and the increase in CPI became stronger as the level of drought stress increased. There were significant interactions between elevated CO₂ and drought stress on leaf water potential, basal diameter, leaf area, and biomass accumulation. Our results suggest that elevated CO₂ may enhance drought avoidance and improved water relations, thus weakening the effect of drought stress on growth of C. intermedia seedings.

一种改进的PAE方法及其在锦鸡儿组(锦鸡儿属)特有性分析中的应用

针对特有性简约性分析（PAE）不足之处,提出一个新的改进分析方法。主要区别是,新方法对分布区内分类群区分了原始和演化,相应地编码为0／1;为了获取分类群原始和演化的特性,分析以分类群分支图为基础。新方法是系统发育与地理分布相统一原理的一个具体的定量化探讨。用新方法分析了豆科锦鸡儿属锦鸡儿组15种,结果表明新方法优于以前的PAE方法。用新的改进方法分析得到的可能的祖先分布区是原始类群树锦鸡儿和一大类属内原始类群的分布区。与目前属的起源问题的一般观点相一致。     

小叶锦鸡儿花提取物和不同极性黄酮组分的抗氧化活性(英文)

测定了小叶锦鸡儿(Caragana microphylla Lam.)花粗提物和不同极性组分总黄酮含量和各项抗氧化能力指标。结果表明:小叶锦鸡儿花不同极性的黄酮组分的抗氧化活性有明显差别,其总抗氧化能力与溶剂极性之间有显著正相关性(P<0.05),但其它抗氧化活性与溶剂极性之间均无显著相关性(P>0.05)。同一极性黄酮组分在不同抗氧化体系中的抗氧化活性有较大差别。对DPPH.自由基的清除能力最强的为乙酸乙酯层(EC50=0.11 mg/mL),其次是二氯甲烷层(EC50=0.38 mg/mL)和乙醇粗提物(EC50=0.56 mg/mL)。总抗氧化能力(T-AOC)最强的为水层,在1 mg/mL时为1.482个T-AOC能力单位。清除羟自由基.OH能力最强的为水层,其次为正己烷层和乙醇粗提物,在3.57 mg/mL时清除率分别为86.23%、66.04%和64.63%。清除超氧阴离子自由基O2-.能力最强的为水层,其次为乙醇粗提物,在1 mg/mL时其清除率分别相当于0.15 mg/mL Vc清除率的336.17%和318.20%。可见,小叶锦鸡儿花的粗提物和不同极性黄酮组分具有较好的抗氧化活性,可用于提取、制备抗氧化特性和作用不同的天然抗氧化剂。     

Interspecific relationships of Caragana microphylla,C. davazamcii and C. korshinskii (Leguminosae) based on ITS and trnL-F data sets

The taxonomic treatment of Caragana davazamcii Sancz. has been a controversial matter, as its relationship with C. microphylla Lam. and C. korshinskii Kom. is not clear. It was treated as an independent species, or a variety under C. microphylla or C. korshinskii. This study is to examine the interspecific relationship of these three species and the origin of C. davazamcii based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and non-coding region of chloroplast trnL-F, combined with morphological data and geographical distribution. The trnL-F sequence of C. davazamcii is identical to that of C. microphylla but differs distinctly from that of C. korshinskii. The high congruence of ITS copies through both direct and cloning sequencing rejects the recent hybridization hypothesis of C. davazamcii between C. microphylla and C. korshinskii. In contrast, two different ITS sequence copies were found respectively in each individual of C. microphylla and C. korshinskii. One of the two ITS sequences in C. microphylla is identical to that of C. davazamcii. This result indicates that C. davazamcii might have taken part in the hybridization of C. microphylla as one parent , or that extensive gene flow might have occurred between these two species, thus resulting in the morphological similarity of them. However, the similarity of some morphological characters of C. davazamcii to those of C. korshinskii might result from the convergent adaptation to their common ecological environment.

中间锦鸡儿(Caragana liouana)是中国毛乌素沙地的主要灌木建群种,在其主要分布区采集9个不同地理种源的种子,栽种至同质园,并测定不同器官(根、茎、叶)碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)含量,比较种源和器官间碳氮磷化学计量特征的差异及元素之间的相关性。结果显示:(1)不同种源中间锦鸡儿根、茎、叶的C含量差异显著,分别为361.12~426.30mg·g~(-1)、412.32~463.13mg·g~(-1)、419.21~478.94mg·g~(-1);N含量种源间差异显著,分别为20.52~33.67mg·g~(-1)、15.77~23.92mg·g~(-1)、27.60~36.44mg·g~(-1);P含量种源间差异显著,分别为1.52~3.73mg·g~(-1)、1.24~2.14mg·g~(-1)、1.44~2.38mg·g~(-1);不同器官的C/N、C/P、N/P也表现出种源间显著差异。(2)种源和器官对中间锦鸡儿碳氮磷化学计量特征的影响程度存在差异,种源对P、C/P、N/P影响较大,器官对C、N、C/N影响较大。(3)相关性分析表明,N、P分别对C/N和C/P的变异起主导作用,并共同影响N/P的变异。研究表明,中间锦鸡儿的碳氮磷化学计量特征在长期的适应进化过程中已产生遗传分化,并形成了自身的养分利用策略。     

Impact of Chlorophorus caragana damage on nutrient contents of Caragana korshinskii

The amino acid, protein, carbohydrate, and mineral element contents and composition of the xylem, phloem, and leaves of healthy and insect-damaged Caragana korshinskii plants were analyzed to evaluate the changes in the nutrient content of C. korshinskii after damage by Chlorophorus caragana. The amino acid content decreased in the leaf and phloem but increased in the xylem in response to damage, while the protein content did not change in the leaf, increased in the xylem, and decreased in the phloem. The carbohydrate content increased slightly in the leaf but decreased in the xylem and phloem. The six mineral elements analyzed, namely, phosphorous, potassium, magnesium, zinc, manganese, and iron decreased in the xylem, phloem, and leaf. The present results may provide a basis for understanding the mechanisms underlying the effect of C. caragana on the loss of viability of C. korshinskii.     

荒漠草原中间锦鸡儿林土壤养分效应对群落组分和多样性的影响

为系统认识荒漠草原中间锦鸡儿人工林草本植被特征及演变趋势对土壤养分的响应,采用空间代替时间的方法,以天然草地为对照,构建3个中间锦鸡儿林龄(16a、25a、37a)研究序列,调查不同中间锦鸡儿林灌丛内外土壤植被并分析二者之间的关系。结果表明:(1)随林龄增加,不同功能群植物重要值呈不同变化趋势,其中禾本科植物显著增加,豆科植物显著降低,杂草类植物先减小后增加。(2)α多样性分析显示,荒漠草原中间锦鸡儿人工林16a灌丛外物种丰富度(S)、香浓维纳指数(H)最高(P0.01);不同林龄均匀度指数(J)、优势度指数(P)未表现出明显的变化规律。(3)β多样性分析显示,Cody指数(βc)和Morisita-Horn(CMH)相似指数均表现出16a与25a、37a之间的物种差异较大、25a与37a之间物种差异相对较小、37a中间锦鸡儿林与天然草地物种组成相似,βws指数在25a中间锦鸡儿林最大。(4)人工中间锦鸡儿林存在显著的土壤碳氮"肥岛效应",其中土壤有机碳是不同林龄植物群落组成差异的显著性影响因子,土壤速效氮为不同林龄灌丛外植物多样性差异的显著性影响因子,但灌丛内植物多样性对土壤养分的响应并不显著。研究认为,中间锦鸡儿林土壤养分演替正效应提高了植物多样性,增强了植物物种的更替程度,但建植后期(37a)植物群落存在向天然草地演替趋势。
