可生物降解螯合剂GLDA强化三叶草修复镉污染土壤

螯合剂可增加重金属的生物可利用性,强化植物的富集作用.以三叶草为研究对象,通过盆栽试验考察不同浓度可生物降解螯合剂谷氨酸N,N-二乙酸(GLDA)对三叶草修复重金属Cd污染土壤的影响机制.结果表明,低剂量GLDA能显著促进三叶草的生长,其中以2. 5 mmol·kg~(-1)的处理浓度三叶草生物量最高,达到对照组的1. 30倍;不同浓度GLDA均能提高三叶草各部分的Cd含量,总体而言,5 mmol·kg~(-1)GLDA的处理效果最为理想,根部、地上部分和整株Cd含量分别为对照组的3. 57、4. 69和4. 67倍; GLDA能显著增加土壤有效态Cd含量,促进三叶草根部对其直接吸收,并较好地转运至地上部分;通过拟合土壤理化性质、GLDA与三叶草Cd含量的线性关系得出的预测模型,可为今后土壤-三叶草富集效果的研究提供参考.研究表明,在强化植物修复重金属Cd污染土壤方面,生物可降解螯合剂GLDA具有潜在应用前景.     

硫酸钠对白三叶种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响

通过室内沙基培养法测定白三叶种子的发芽率、发芽势、株高、根系活力、叶绿素含量、丙二醛和可溶性糖含量,研究了不同浓度的硫酸钠对白三叶种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响。试验结果表明,白三叶在硫酸钠作用下随着浓度增高,发芽势、发芽率、株高、叶绿素含量、根系活力均表现出下降趋势,对白三叶种子萌发和幼苗生长均表现出抑制作用,而丙二醛和可溶性糖含量表现出上升趋势。     

喀斯特地区白三叶形态和遗传多样性研究

白三叶（Trifolium repens）的形态学特征随利用年限的增加而进化,单株叶数、生长点数、中叶长、中叶长宽比以及种群内个体之间变异性随着年限的增加而增加,而叶层高度、中叶宽则下降。三个不同年龄草地的平均单株叶质量、根质量、地上生物量、地上生物量与地下生物量的比值等指标数值接近,差异不显著。但是,与茎有关的指标如茎质量等差异显著,匍匐茎生物量随年限的增加而增加,以回避动物采食等干扰,并有利于占据动态空斑而增加种群的持久性。100年白三叶的等位基因数没有20年的高,意味着年限越长的种群以少数大克隆体占优势。     

Responses of two cultivars of Trifolium repens L. to ethylene diurea in relation to ambient ozone

Three ethylene diurea(EDU) concentrations(0,150 and 300 mg/L) were used to evaluate the negative impact of ozone(O3) on two cultivars of Trifolium repens L.cv.Vardan and Bundel grown under natural field conditions in a suburban area of Varanasi,India.Mean O3 concentrations varied from 30.3 to 46.6 μg/L during the experimental period.Higher photosynthetic pigments and ascorbic acid concentrations were noticed in both EDU-treated cultivars over non-EDU-treated ones,but a reverse trend was found for lipid peroxidation.Growth parameters and biomass also showed increments under EDU treatment of both cultivars.The ratio of variable fluorescence to maximum fluorescence increased significantly in Vardan but not in Bundel upon EDU treatment.Results revealed that EDU concentration of 300 mg/L was more effective to combat the oxidative stress as well as protecting plants from O3 injury symptoms.The test cultivar Vardan is relatively sensitive to O3,thereby can be used as a bioindicator of O3 pollution in areas having higher O3 concentrations.Results also indicated that Bundel has more efficient antioxidant defense system than Vardan and hence was more tolerant to O3 stress.     

链格孢菌对白车轴草抗旱性的影响

在盆栽自然水分干旱胁迫条件下,研究了接种链格孢菌(Alternaria tenuis Nees)对白车轴草(Trifolium repens L.)抗旱性相关的生理生化指标的影响,结果表明:接种组与对照组叶片的电导率(EC)、丙二醛(MDA)含量、脯氨酸(Pro)含量均与干旱处理时间呈显著正相关,而叶片相对含水量(RWC)、抗坏血酸(ASA)含量与处理时间呈显著负相关。链格孢菌的侵染能促进干旱胁迫下白车轴草叶片EC和MDA含量的增加,延缓Pro的积累,加速叶片RWC和ASA含量的降低。到达干旱处理的第6天,接种组的EC、MDA含量分别比对照高20.06%、68.79%(p<0.05),而RWC、Pro含量和ASA含量分别比对照低7.03%、25.3%、77.43%(p<0.05)。此外,接种组超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)活性均于处理的第4天开始显著低于对照;过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性也于处理的第6天下降并显著低于对照,为对照的79.79%(p<0.01)。表明链格孢菌会降低干旱胁迫下白车轴草的渗透调节能力和保护酶的活性,加剧活性氧的积累和膜脂过氧化程度,使白车轴草的抗旱性降低。     

喀斯特地区红三叶混播草地群落对长期适度放牧的响应

群落稳定性的生态学研究一直缺乏动物利用条件下的长时间梯度田间试验,而混播草地的放牧利用年限是生态脆弱的南方喀斯特山区生态环境建设和资源可持续利用的关键问题之一。用考力代绵羊轮牧,在牧前和牧后草地现存量(干物质,DM,drymatter)分别为1800~2500(草层高15~18cm)和900~1200kg·hm-2(草层高3~5cm)的适度放牧利用条件下,对亚热带最常见的豆科牧草红三叶(Trifolium pratense)与禾本科牧草的两两混播草地的群落生产力和持久性开展长期研究。20年的结果表明:适度放牧利用下,群落地上总生物量长期稳定,各组合间差异不显著,总盖度20a后仍高达97%以上;适度放牧有利于牧草的生产力持久性,红三叶、鸭茅(Dactylisglomerata)、多年生黑麦草(Loliumperenne)和黑穗画眉草(Eragrostisnigra)都在群落中长期存在;群落净产量和持久性是尺度依赖的,群落长期净生产力以红三叶 鸭茅的最高(DM产量353.3g·m-2·a-1)(P<0.05),对杂草侵入的抵抗力最强,而前10a红三叶 多年生黑麦草有很高的净生产力(DM产量449.8g·m-2·a-1);物种的生产力受伴生种的影响,前10a红三叶在与无芒雀麦(Bromus inermis leyss)和黑穗画眉草组合中的产量高于其它组合(P<0.05);不同的物种侵占力不同,栽培种侵占力最强的是黑穗画眉和鸭茅,非栽培种侵占力最强的是白三叶。     

干旱胁迫下5种三叶草的生理反应(英文)

为了解三叶草属抗旱的生理机理,寻找适宜干旱地区种植的三叶草品种,比较了地三叶草(Trifoliumsubterraneum L.)、大花三叶草(T.michelianum Savi)、白三叶草(T.repens L.)、高加索三叶草(T.ambiguum M.Bieb.)和草莓三叶草(T.fragiferum L.)在人工干旱条件下4 wk的生长和生理反应.结果表明,干旱处理下大花三叶草、草莓三叶草和白三叶草地上部分干重严重减少,分别降低了70%、66%和64%,而高加索三叶草和地三叶草减少不到50%;高加索三叶草叶片水势降低到-2.0 MPa以下,而其他4种三叶草只降低到-1.5MPa左右;高加索三叶草和草莓三叶草叶片光合速率降低25%,而地三叶草、白三叶草和大花三叶草下降35%~63%.此外,干旱条件下,5种供试三叶草叶片中游离脯氨酸含量普遍增加,其中高加索三叶草和白三叶草分别增加到2.5倍和3.1倍.研究显示高加索三叶草在多项重要生长和生理指标中表现出很强的抗旱性,因此认为其可作为干旱地区栽培白叶草的补充或替代种.图1表3参22     

大气CO2浓度升高对红三叶和高丹草Cs、K竞争吸收与转运的影响

水培条件下,研究了大气CO2浓度升高对红三叶(Trifolium Pratene L.)和高丹草(Sorhum vulgare x Sorghum.vulgare var.sudanense hybrids)在不同铯(Cs)浓度(0、200、500、1000μmol·L-1)下生物量、铯和钾的竞争吸收及转运的影响.结果表明,大气CO2浓度升高显著提高了2种植物叶、茎和根各部位的生物量,其中,红三叶各部生物量分别提高了42.6%、66.2%和45.0%,高丹草分别提高了17.4%、18.9%和22.3%.大气CO2浓度升高提高了红三叶和高丹草叶片及茎中的Cs含量,提升比例最大的为红三叶的茎(达9.7%),同时显著提高了2种植物对Cs的转运系数及红三叶的茎和根中Cs/K的区别系数.对于红三叶,大气CO2浓度升高引起叶片K含量略微增加,而茎和根系中K含量显著降低;对于高丹草,大气CO2浓度升高引起叶片和茎中K含量增加,而根系中K含量降低.2种植物对Cs的吸收都与介质中Cs浓度呈显著的线性相关,溶液中Cs浓度的增加提高了红三叶和高丹草的Cs/K区别系数,并且Cs的添加不仅对红三叶和高丹草的生物量都起到了一定的抑制作用,同时还降低了2种植物对钾的吸收.在正常的CO2浓度下,1000μmol·L-1Cs处理可使2种植物叶、茎和根中的K含量分别降低10.4%、13.3%、32.5%(红三叶)和18.3%、42.1%和38.9%(高丹草);在大气CO2浓度升高的条件下,分别降低12.2%、22.0%、35.0%(红三叶)和17.9%、38.7%、34.6%(高丹草).     

Habitat Change and Plant Demography: Assessing the Extinction Risk of a Formerly Common Grassland Perennial

Abstract:  An important aim of conservation biology is to understand how habitat change affects the dynamics and extinction risk of populations. We used matrix models to analyze the effect of habitat degradation on the demography of the declining perennial plant Trifolium montanum in 9 calcareous grasslands in Germany over 4 years and experimentally tested the effect of grassland management. Finite population growth rates (λ) decreased with light competition, measured as leaf-area index above T. montanum plants. At unmanaged sites λ was <1 due to lower recruitment and lower survival and flowering probability of large plants. Nevertheless, in stochastic simulations, extinction of unmanaged populations of 100 flowering plants was delayed for several decades. Clipping as a management technique rapidly increased population growth because of higher survival and flowering probability of large plants in managed than in unmanaged plots. Transition-matrix simulations from these plots indicated grazing or mowing every second year would be sufficient to ensure a growth rate ≥1 if conditions stayed the same. At frequently grazed sites, the finite growth rate was approximately 1 in most populations of T. montanum . In stochastic simulations, the extinction risk of even relatively small grazed populations was low, but about half the extant populations of T. montanum in central Germany are smaller than would be sufficient for a probability of survival of >95% over 100 years. We conclude that habitat change after cessation of management strongly reduces recruitment and survival of established individuals of this perennial plant. Nevertheless, our results suggest extinction processes may take a long time in perennial plants, resulting in an extinction debt. Even if management is frequent, many remnant populations of T. montanum may be at risk because of their small size, but even a slight increase in size could considerably reduce their extinction risk.
