臭氧污染、氮沉降和干旱胁迫交互作用对杨树叶和细根非结构性碳水化合物的影响

快速城市化和工业化进程,导致植物生长季常暴露于高浓度地表臭氧（O₃）、干旱和氮（N）沉降的环境中.为探究植物非结构性碳水化合物（NSC）及其组分（可溶性糖和淀粉）对多重环境因子胁迫的响应格局,本实验设置2个O₃处理（对照,以过滤空气计;增加O₃,未过滤空气+40 nmol·mol^-1 O₃）、2个水分处理（充分灌溉;干旱,60%灌溉）和2个N添加处理［不加氮;加氮,50 kg·（hm²·a）^-1尿素］,研究三因子交互作用对杨树叶片和细根NSC及其组分的影响.结果表明,O₃胁迫显著增加杨树叶片可溶性糖和细根淀粉含量,降低叶片淀粉和总NSC含量.干旱胁迫显著降低叶片淀粉和总NSC含量,增加细根可溶性糖和总NSC含量.氮添加对叶和细根NSC及其组分无显著影响.叶片和细根NSC及其组分与光合速率、生物量存在显著正相关关系.随着胁迫因子数量的增加,叶片NSC呈现下降趋势,而细根NSC呈现上升趋势.本研究发现环境胁迫可促使植物叶片中的淀粉转化为可溶性糖,并将叶片中的NSC转移到根部储藏,这可能是植物抵御胁迫环境的一种应对策略.     

土壤水分含量和凋落物特性对陌上菅细根和叶片凋落物分解的影响

凋落物分解是湿地生态系统中碳和养分循环的关键过程.对比叶片凋落物和细根的分解速率,有助于阐明水分变化条件下不同凋落物类型对湿地碳循环的相对贡献,提高人们对不同有机碳源分解驱动机制的理解.以安徽省升金湖湿地典型湿生植物——陌上菅（Carex thunbergii）为研究对象,采用分解袋法进行凋落物分解试验,分析叶片凋落物和细根在不同土壤水分含量（30%、50%和70%）下的分解动态.结果表明:①经过5个月的分解,在30%、50%和70%的土壤水分含量下,陌上菅的细根质量残留率分别为46.7%、58.1%和60.1%,叶片凋落物的质量残留率分别为37.9%、31.6%、33.9%.②在30%、50%和70%的土壤水分含量下,陌上菅的细根分解速率常数分别为1.78、1.27、1.12,叶片凋落物的分解速率常数分别为2.56、2.94、2.54,且它们之间存在显著性差异（P < 0.05）.③细根的分解速率与土壤水分含量之间呈负相关（P < 0.001）,而叶片凋落物的分解速率与土壤水分含量呈正相关（P=0.01）.④根据重复测量方差分析结果可知,凋落物分解受凋落物类型、分解时间及二者交互作用的影响,且凋落物类型是主导因素.分别对细根和叶片凋落物的质量损失进行重复测量方差分析,发现在细根的分解过程中,土壤水分含量是主要影响因素,而在叶片凋落物分解过程中,分解时间是主导因素.研究显示,相同土壤水分含量下,叶片凋落物的分解速率比细根快;湿地水位变化条件下,土壤水分含量对细根和叶片凋落物分解具有不同的影响,土壤水分含量的增加促进了叶片凋落物的分解,但对细根的分解产生了抑制作用.

假稻对铬的富集作用及其耐受能力研究

假稻属的李氏禾（Leersia hexandra）是中国境内发现的铬超富集植物。研究以其同属植物假稻（Leersiajapon ica）为材料,测定了假稻对铬（Cr^3＋）的富集能力及其在模拟铬污染的实验条件下的光合、生理和根系形态学指标。结果发现：（1）在0～40 mg·L^-1的Cr^3＋浓度范围内,假稻根茎和叶中铬的含量随铬质量浓度的提高而升高,在培养液中铬浓度为40 mg·L^-1时,根茎中铬含量高达2 292.00 mgLkg^-1,其生物富集系数为57.30;（2）浓度为10～40 mg·L^-1的Cr^3＋处理对假稻的叶绿素a和b含量、胞间CO2浓度（Ci）和气孔限制（LS）和净光合速率无明显影响;（3）叶片中脯氨酸含量变化趋势呈单峰型,在20 mg·L^-1的Cr^3＋时假稻叶片脯氨酸含量达到最高;（4）随着Cr^3＋浓度的升高,假稻根系的根尖数表现出升高的趋势,而根表面积（相对于对照组）也表现出增加的趋势。以上结果表明,假稻的根茎对Cr^3＋有很强的富集能力,且对Cr^3＋有较强的耐受性,这种耐受性有其光合生理和根系形态学上的基础,说明假稻在净化铬（Cr^3＋）污染的水体环境上很有应用前景。     

沙尘对辣椒和西红柿光合特性的影响

通过研究沙尘对西红柿和辣椒光合生理特征的影响,为将来提高农作物对大气降尘环境的应对能力提供理论依据。在泽普县选择2种典型的农作物螺丝椒和石番15号西红柿进行滞尘实验,分别测定2种植物叶片的滞尘量,和滞尘前后叶片的光合生理参数以及光响应曲线,并对叶片滞尘量和叶片光合生理特征的相关性进行分析。结果表明:(1)西红柿和辣椒在沙尘影响下,二者光合参数均下降,而西红柿净光合速率(P_n)、蒸腾速率(T_r)、气孔导度(G_s)和气孔限制值(L_s)的损失率均大于辣椒,而胞间CO_2浓度(C_i)的损失率小于辣椒,且差异极显著。(2)西红柿和螺丝椒叶片净光合速率(P_n)、蒸腾速率(T_r)、气孔导度(G_s)与单位面积叶片沙尘覆盖量之间呈正相关关系,而且西红柿和螺丝椒之间没有显著差异。(3)在沙尘影响下西红柿叶片的光饱和点(LSP)与光补偿点(LCP)均比洁净时显著上升,而螺丝椒叶片蒙尘时的光饱和点(LSP)比覆尘时略有上升,光补偿点(LCP)略有下降。这表明沙尘影响会改变西红柿和辣椒叶片对光适应能力。沙尘覆盖叶片能够提高西红柿和螺丝椒对强光的利用能力,降低对弱光的利用能力。     

黄河三角洲柽柳光合作用及树干液流对潜水埋深的响应

为揭示黄河三角洲柽柳（Tamarix chinensis）叶片光合作用及耗水特征对潜水埋深的响应规律,明确维持柽柳较高光合效率及适宜生长的潜水埋深,以三年生柽柳苗木为试验材料,模拟设置淡水条件下0 m、0.3 m、0.6 m、0.9 m、1.2 m、1.5 m、1.8 m共7个潜水埋深,测定分析柽柳叶片气体交换参数的光响应过程和树干液流日动态。结果表明：不同潜水埋深可显著改变土壤水分条件,从而影响柽柳的光合作用和耗水性能,柽柳叶片净光合速率、光合光响应参数、水分利用效率以及树干液流速率具有明显的水位响应性。在浅水位（≤0.3 m）导致渍水胁迫和深水位（1.8 m）导致干旱胁迫时,柽柳幼苗光合作用受到较大抑制。柽柳呈现出耐干旱不耐水湿的光合水分适应性,深水位（≥0.6 m）柽柳的光合能力显著高于浅水位（≤0.3 m）,在潜水埋深0.9~1.5 m之间柽柳光合能力较强,1.2 m是柽柳生长最适宜的潜水埋深。     

两种桑科植物叶片光合及光呼吸对模拟干旱的响应

采用150 g/L的聚乙二醇(Polyethylene glycol,PEG)模拟干旱胁迫,研究两种桑科植物(构树和桑树)的叶片光合及光呼吸特征对干旱胁迫的响应。对植物培养液的相关化学参数以及叶片的光合参数进行测定,结果表明:干旱对构树根系吸水能力的影响小于桑树的;构树以中光合-低蒸腾-高水分利用率的模式适应干旱环境,桑树以低光合-低蒸腾-高水分利用率的模式来应对干旱环境;在模拟干旱环境下,构树以稳定的羧化效率-高光呼吸速率-高光呼吸利用份额来适应外界胁迫,而桑树以低羧化效率-低光呼吸速率-低光呼吸利用份额来应对外界胁迫。构树表现出对外界干旱胁迫更好的适应性,这种适应机制可能与其较强的光呼吸作用及其碳酸氢根离子利用能力有关。这种"以碳换水"的机制可能是喀斯特适生植物适应岩溶干旱的又一个重要机制。     

广西不同石漠化等级下SPAC水势梯度及其环境效应

以野外观测为基础,对广西不同石漠化等级(无石漠化、轻度石漠化、中度石漠化和重度石漠化)下土壤-植被-大气连续体(Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum,简称SPAC)系统中的水势日变化、气象因子日变化过程进行了研究。结果表明:随着石漠化程度的增加,大气水势降低,大气水势对不同石漠化程度的反应敏感。岩溶区石漠化等级下植物和土壤水势较低,不同石漠化条件下的植物叶水势在-7.79±0.43~-2.68±0.11 Mpa之间,土壤水势在-4.00±0~-0.08±0.04 Mpa之间,重度石漠化等级下植物处于萎蔫状态。植物在正午受到的水分亏缺程度为:重度石漠化中度石漠化无石漠化轻度石漠化。无石漠化下植物叶片水势与大气温度呈正相关关系,与大气相对湿度呈负相关关系,轻度石漠化、中度石漠化和重度石漠化下植物叶片水势与大气温度呈负相关关系,与大气相对湿度呈正相关关系。水分在SPAC系统中运移,其能量消耗主要集中在叶片-大气的过程。叶-气水势差差值大小为:中度石漠化重度石漠化轻度石漠化无石漠化。随着石漠化程度的增加,SPAC水势梯度提高,各介质层水势差的增大,提高了水分循环和能量交换的强度。     

旺盛期烟草对镉富集敏感性研究

采用盆栽试验方法,揭示了旺盛期烟草（云烟99）对镉的富集特点以及光合等生理指标对镉胁迫的响应.结果表明：当土壤镉含量分别为4.43,7.94,17.33和49.79mg/kg时,烟草茎、叶及地上部镉的富集系数（植物镉含量与土壤镉含量的比值）均大于1,转移系数（地上部镉含量与根镉含量的比值）也大于1,但镉含量未达到镉超富集植物的临界含量标准100mg/kg.当土壤镉含量为4.43mg/kg时,烟草的耐性较强.当土壤镉含量大于7.94mg/kg时,烟草的生物量、叶片光合色素含量、净光合速率、蒸腾速率、气孔导度和SOD活性均显著下降（P<0.05）,胞间CO₂浓度和MDA含量显著提高（P<0.05）.旺盛期烟草对镉富集比较敏感,建议烟草的种植要远离镉污染土壤或镉背景值较高的土壤.     

风沙灾害对南疆棉花光合特性的影响

在干旱半干旱风沙区,风沙流活动强烈是其主要环境特征之一,风沙流对植物的影响很大,是棉花栽培及生长发育的重要制约因素。该研究通过设置不受风沙影响的棉花和受风沙影响的棉花2组处理3个重复,测定棉花不同生育期的光合参数,探讨风沙对棉花光合特性的影响,结果表明:在苗期和蕾期风沙对棉花光合参数的影响非常明显,而在棉花花铃期的差异不显著,因此棉花受风沙影响的阶段主要在苗期和蕾期,而在花铃期影响不大;受风沙影响的棉花叶片会在风沙的作用下受到伤害,并在叶片上留下伤痕,新伤棉花功能叶片的净光合速率(Pn)、气孔导度(Cs)、胞间CO2浓度(Ci)和蒸腾速率(Tr)要明显低于旧伤和未受伤的棉花;风沙过后的降尘会对棉花叶片的光合作用参数有很大的影响;单位叶面积降尘量与叶片净光合速率(Pn)、气孔导度(Cs)、胞间CO2浓度(Ci)和蒸腾速率(Tr)都表现为显著负相关。     

Nickel accumulation and its effect on biomass, protein content and antioxidative enzymes in roots and leaves of watercress (Nasturtium officinale R. Br.)

In order to understand its response towards nickel stress,watercress(Nasturtium officinale R.Br.) was exposed to nickel(1-25 mg/L) for 1,3,5 and 7 days.The accumulation and translocation of nickel were determined and the influence of nickel on biomass,protein content and enzymatic antioxidants was examined for both roots and leaves.It was determined that N.officinale could accumulate appreciable amounts of Ni in both roots and leaves.Nickel accumulated particularly in the roots of plants.Biomass increased at low nickel concentrations but certain measurable change was not found at high concentrations.Under stress conditions the antioxidant enzymes were up-regulated compared to control.An increase in protein content and enzyme activities was observed at moderate exposure conditions followed by a decline at both roots and leaves.The maximum enzyme activities were observed at different exposure conditions.Our results showed that N.officinale had the capacity to overcome nickel-induced stress especially at moderate nickel exposure.Therefore,N.officinale may be used as a phytoremediator in moderately polluted aquatic ecosystems.     

Nickel accumulation and its effect on biomass, protein content and antioxidative enzymes in roots and leaves of watercress （Nasturtium officinale R. Br.）

In order to understand its response towards nickel stress, watercress (Nasturtium o cinale R. Br.) was exposed to nickel (1–25 mg/L) for 1, 3, 5 and 7 days. The accumulation and translocation of nickel were determined and the influence of nickel on biomass, protein content and enzymatic antioxidants was examined for both roots and leaves. It was determined that N. o cinale could accumulate appreciable amounts of Ni in both roots and leaves. Nickel accumulated particularly in the roots of plants. Biomass increased at low nickel concentrations but certain measurable change was not found at high concentrations. Under stress conditions the antioxidant enzymes were up-regulated compared to control. An increase in protein content and enzyme activities was observed at moderate exposure conditions followed by a decline at both roots and leaves. The maximum enzyme activities were observed at di erent exposure conditions. Our results showed that N. o cinale had the capacity to overcome nickel-induced stress especially at moderate nickel exposure. Therefore, N. o cinale may be used as a phytoremediator in moderately polluted aquatic ecosystems.     

Evaluation of antioxidant enzymes activities and identification of intermediate products during phytoremediation of an anionic dye (C. I. Acid Blue 92) by pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris)

The potential of pennywort(Hydrocotyle vulgaris)for phytoremediation of C.I.Acid Blue 92(AB92)was evaluated.The efects of various experimental parameters including pH,temperature,dye concentration and plant weight on dye removal efciency were investigated.The results showed that the optimal condition for dye removal were pH 3.5 and temperature 25°C.Moreover,the absolute dye removal enhanced with increase in the initial dye concentration and plant weight.Pennywort showed the same removal efciency in repeated experiments(four runs)as that obtained from the first run(a 6-day period).Therefore,the ability of the plant in consecutive removal of AB92 confirmed the biodegradation process.Accordingly,a number of produced intermediate compounds were identified.The efect of treatment on photosynthesis and antioxidant defense system including superoxide dismutase,peroxidase and catalase in plant roots and leaves were evaluated.The results revealed a reduction in photosynthetic pigments content under dye treatments.Antioxidant enzyme responses showed marked variations with respect to the plant organ and dye concentration in the liquid medium.Overall,the increase in antioxidant enzyme activity under AB92 stress in the roots was much higher than that in the leaves.Nevertheless,no significant increase in malondialdehyde content was detected in roots or leaves,implying that the high efciency of antioxidant system in the elimination of reactive oxygen species.Based on these results,pennywort was founded to be a capable species for phytoremediation of AB92-contaminated water,may be efective for phytoremediation dye-contaminated polluted aquatic ecosystems.     

Impact analysis of drought, water excess and salinity on grass production in The Netherlands using historical and future climate data

The coupled SWAP-WOFOST model was used to study the effects of increasing salinity of groundwater, drought and water excess on grass production in The Netherlands. WOFOST simulates crop growth and SWAP simulates transport of water, solutes and heat in the vadose zone. The model was tested using several datasets from field experiments. We applied the models at regional scale where we quantified the impact of various groundwater salinity levels on grass growth and production using historical weather data (1971-2000). The salt concentrations in the subsoil were derived from the National Hydrological Instrument. The results show that salinity effects on grass production are limited. In wet years the excess rainfall will infiltrate the soil and reduce salt water seepage. In a next step we used future weather data for the year 2050, derived from 3 Global Circulation Models. From each model we used data from two CO₂ emission scenarios. As expected higher temperatures increased drought stress, however, the production reduction as a result of salt water in the root zone is limited. Salt stress mainly occurred when irrigation was applied with saline water. The increased CO₂ concentration in combination with the limited drought stress resulted in increasing simulated actual and potential yields. Overall conclusion for grassland in The Netherlands: drought stress is stronger than stress caused by water excess which on its turn is stronger than salinity stress. Future water demand for irrigation may increase by 11-19% and result in water scarcity if water supply is insufficient.     

Phytotoxicity of cadmium on protein, proline and antioxidant enzyme activities in growing Arachis hypogaea L. seedlings

Phytotoxicity of cadmium on growing Arachis hypogaea L. seedlings was studied. Seeds were exposed to 25, 50, and 100 μmol/L CdCl2 concentrations, for a period of 10, 15, 20 and 25 d. The extent of damage to chlorophyll, protein, proline, nitrate and nitrite reductase, antioxidant enzyme activity in leaves and roots were evaluated after 10 d of cadmium stress. The higher concentration of cadmium （100 μmol/L） resulted （leaves and roots） total chlorophyll 91.01%, protein 79.51%, 83.61%, nitrate reductase 79.39%, 80.72% and nitrite reductase 77.07%, 75.88% activity decreased with increase in cadmium concentrations and exposure periods. Cadmium caused significant changes in the activity of antioxidative enzymes. Contrastingly Cd treated plant tissues showed an increase in proline 159.87%, 239.6%, gluthion reductase （GR） 337.72%, 306.14%, superoxide disumutase （SOD） 688.56%, 381.72%, ascorbate peroxidase （APX） 226.47%, 252.14%, peroxidase （POD） 72.19%, 60.29% and catalase （CAT） 228.96%, 214.74% as compared to control. Cadmium stress caused a significant increase in the rate of SOD activity in leaves and roots of plant species. Results show the crop A. hypogaea is highly sensitive even at very low cadmium concentrations.     

Insect damage influences heat and water stress resistance gene expression in field-grown popcorn: implications in developing crop varieties adapted to climate change

Warming climatic conditions can pose problems for crop production in many parts of the world, but detailed information on the expression of heat and drought stress resistance genes of potentially affected crop plants is lacking. This information is important to have in order to most efficiently guide the breeding of crops that are adapted to new climatic conditions. A maize (Zea mays) gene microarray, a method used worldwide to evaluate the expression of tens of thousands of genes at once, was used to investigate changes in expression of genes involved in resistance to heat and water stress in milk stage popcorn kernels from undamaged and insect-damaged ears. Popcorn is a form of maize that is more susceptible to heat and drought stress due to its smaller root system. In years of heat and drought stress, expression of many heat shock- and senescence-related proteins increased compared to the year when weather was closer to average conditions, but the expression of many genes related to drought stress resistance decreased in years of weather stress. A different complex of heat shock protein and water stress resistance protein genes had higher expression in kernels from undamaged compared to insect-damaged ears in years of heat and drought stress. These results indicate that the interaction of biotic components, such as insects, are important to consider in developing crop lines with adaptation to stress as this will help identify additional genes and their regulatory components involved in heat and drought stress resistance that might otherwise be overlooked, and will likely be an important strategy for the most effective development of climate stress-tolerant crops globally.     

Uptake, translocation, and debromination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in maize

Uptake, translocation and debromination of three polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), BDE-28, -47 and -99, in maize were studied in a hydroponic experiment. Roots took up most of the PBDEs in the culture solutions and more highly brominated PBDEs had a stronger uptake capability. PBDEs were detected in the stems and leaves of maize after exposure but rarely detected in the blank control plants. Furthermore, PBDE concentrations decreased from roots to stems and then to leaves, and a very clear decreasing gradient was found in segments upwards along the stem. These altogether provide substantiating evidence for the acropetal translocation of PBDEs in maize. More highly brominated PBDEs were translocated with more difficulty. Radial translocation of PBDEs from nodes to sheath inside maize was also observed. Both acropetal and radial translocations were enhanced at higher transpiration rates, suggesting that PBDE transport was probably driven by the transpiration stream. Debromination of PBDEs occurred in all parts of the maize, and debromination patterns of different parent PBDEs and in different parts of a plant were similar but with some differences. This study for the first time provides direct evidence for the acropetal translocation of PBDEs within plants, elucidates the process of PBDE transport and clarifies the debromination products of PBDEs in maize.

不同土壤水分条件下三个速生用材树种幼树的耗水特性比较

试验采用盆栽控水的方法,分析、比较了巨桉、竹柳和桤木3个速生用材树种幼树在3种水分条件下(土壤含水量分别保持在田间持水量的85%~80%、55%~50%、35%~30%)的耗水特性。结果表明:①相同天气和水分条件下,蒸腾速率、各时段耗水量、日耗水量和总耗水量绝大多数均表现为巨桉>竹柳>桤木;②相同处理下,巨桉与竹柳的日耗水速率并无显著差异(P>0.05),但都明显高于桤木;③巨桉明显较大的整株叶面积及其在水分亏缺时采取的不同避旱策略是其耗水量高于其它2个树种的重要原因;④树木的耗水能力是与其同化能力、生长速率密切相关的,随土壤含水量下降,各树种的净光合速率、叶面积、株高和地径生长量下降,蒸腾耗水也随之降低,但巨桉同化与耗水能力更不易受到干旱的影响;⑤巨桉和竹柳更适宜于在雨量充沛且季节分布均匀的地区发展,而在水分不足或季节性干旱频繁的地区则适合发展耗水量最小的桤木。
