Diurnal variations of amino acids and organic acids in xylem fluid from Lagerstroemia indica: an endogenous circadian rhythm

Diurnal variations in the concentrations of major organic compounds occurred in xylem fluid extracted from Lagerstroemia indica L. The concentration of amino acids and the N/C ratio was at a maximum and that of organic acids was at a minimum between 1230 and 2030 h. Since the concentrations of total organic nitrogen, total amino acids and most individual amino acids (but not organic acids or sugars) were also proportional to xylem tension two experiments were performed to discern whether variations in chemistry were a consequence of diurnal changes in moisture stress. In the first experiment, L. indica , exposed to variable levels of moisture stress during midday, manifested an increase in organic acids and a reduction in the N/C ratio. In the second experiment, chemical profiles of xylem fluid were collected and compared for plants exposed to a natural photoperiod, constant darkness or continuous light at noon and midnight. After 1 day amino acids increased in concentration during midday for all treatments; the variation was greatest (10-fold) for plants in constant darkness where xylem tension varied from 0.20 to 0.25 MPa. Only plants exposed to continuous light lost a diurnal rhythm after 3 days. Thus, the circadian rhythm was endogenous, terminated in continuous light and was not mediated by changes in moisture stress. Glutamine accounted for most of the diurnal variation in total amino acids, organic nitrogen and the N/C ratio in xylem fluid.

匍匐茎草本植物蛇莓小尺度克隆结构

采用ISSR分子标记技术比较分析了3个斑块匍匐茎草本植物蛇莓的遗传多样性、克隆多样性和克隆结构,探讨蛇莓克隆结构的形成机制及与环境的相关性.结果表明蛇莓的遗传多样性较低,多态位点百分率P为37.93%, Shannon信息指数I为0.2402, Nei指数h为0.1677;蛇莓的克隆多样性与其它克隆植物较为接近,基因型比率G/N=0.2013,Simpson多样性指数D为0.6396,基因型分布的均匀度E为0.5862;蛇莓的遗传变异大部分存在于斑块间,基因流较小,仅为0.1019.3个斑块蛇莓的遗传多样性以临海斑块(LH)最高(P=10.34%, I =0.0513, h =0.0344),安吉斑块(AJ)次之(P=10.34%, I =0.0443, h =0.027),而天台斑块(TT)最低(P=5.17%, I =0.0325, h =0.0227).基株数目、基因型比率、Simpson多样性指数和基因型分布的均匀度均表明克隆多样性以LH斑块最大(G=12, G/N=0.3077, D=0.8677, E=0.8380),AJ斑块次之(G=9, G/N=0.1800, D=0.5870, E=0.4753),TT斑块最低(G=5, G/N=0.1163, D=0.4642, E=0.4453).3个斑块中均存在优势克隆,但优势克隆的大小在3个斑块中均不相同,以LH斑块最小,AJ斑块次之,TT斑块最大.空间自相关分析显示LH斑块在20 cm和40 cm时存在显著性正相关,其X轴截矩为49.959;AJ斑块仅在20 cm时存在显著性正相关,其X轴截矩为63.333;TT斑块在20 cm、30 cm、40 cm和70 cm时均存在显著性正相关,其X-轴截矩高达90.512.这表明3个不同斑块内蛇莓基因型的空间分布距离不同,TT斑块最大,AJ斑块最小;克隆所能到达的距离也不同,TT斑块最大,LH斑块最小.3个不同斑块蛇莓的遗传多样性、克隆多样性与克隆结构具有明显的差异.蛇莓的遗传多样性与克隆多样性与蛇莓较强的克隆繁殖能力和较低的种子萌发率有关.蛇莓的遗传结构、克隆结构及克隆的空间分布格局与不同斑块所处生境的生态因子及其它因素(如干扰、演替和突变)有关.

Technical note phytoremediation of triazophos by Canna indica Linn. in a hydroponic system

The phytoremediation of triazophos (O, O-diethyl-O-(1-phenyl-1, 2, 4-triazole-3-base) sulfur phosphate, TAP) by Canna indica Linn. in a hydroponic system was studied. After 21 d of exposure, the removal kinetic constant (K) of TAP was 0.0229-0.0339 d(-1) and the removal percentage of TAP was 41-55% in the plant system and the K and removal percentage of TAP were about 0.002 d(-1) and 1%, respectively, in darkness and disinfected control. However, the K and removal percentage of TAP were 0.006 d(-1) and approximately 11%, respectively, in the treatment with eluate from the media of constructed wetland. The contribution of plant to the remediation of TAP was 74% and C. indica played the most important role in the hydroponic system. Under the stress of TAP and without inorganic phosphorus nutrient, the activity of phosphatase in the plant system increased and phytodegradation was observed. The production and release of phosphatase is seen as the key mechanism for C. indica to degrade TAP. C. indica, which showed the potential of phytoremediation of TAP, and is commonly used in constructed wetland, so the technique of phytoremediation of TAP from contaminated water can be developed with the combination of constructed wetland.
