土壤干旱胁迫下非水力根信号调控夏玉米气体交换对大气环境的响应

对不同程度土壤干旱胁迫下夏玉米非水力根信号的产生以及气体交换过程对大气环境的响应进行了试验研究。充足底墒播种后采用3个土壤水分处理等级(0~200cm土壤相对湿度为>80%、60%~70%、40%~50%,代号为W T1、W T2和W T3)。生育期内遮去自然降水。试验结果表明,在拔节期轻度和中度土壤干旱胁迫的情况下,玉米根系合成大量ABA传输到地上部分,参与控制气孔开度和气体交换过程对大气环境变化的响应并调节水分消耗。在日变化过程中,当光强和水汽压亏缺较高时,由于蒸腾速率较高,非水力根信号物质向冠层的传输速率也较高,ABA在叶片中的累积影响了气孔开张对光强响应的敏感度,气孔开度受到抑制,并且随着ABA累积和浓度的增加,气孔抑制作用越强;在水汽压亏缺较低的情况下,非水力根信号物质向冠层的传输速率较低,ABA的代谢过程以及再分配过程能够保证这种信号物质保持在低水平,从而保证一定程度的气孔开度和光合、蒸腾速率。这种策略能够使夏玉米在轻、中等干旱条件下保证最大的光合作用,同时在可能的胁迫情况下降低蒸腾作用以提高水分利用效率。

Non-hydraulic root-sourced signaling regulates the response of maize gas exchange to micro-climate during soil drying

In the Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum(SPAC),stomata controls the gas exchanges,its behavior is frequently affected by microclimatic conditions and physiological processes.Radiation,air temperature,(CO_2]),and soil moisture are the main factors affecting stomatal aperture.During soil drying,the root-sourced abscisic acid(ABA) plays a central role as a long distance signal inducing stomatal closure and reduction of leaf expansion,both reduce plant water use.With summer maize(cv.Shandan 902),experiments in a...
