Competition of the active roots of Cassia siamea Lam. and Zea mays L.(cv.Katumani Composite B) in an alley cropping trial in semi arid Kenya

A study on root competition in alley cropping was carried out in an agroforestry system, involving Cassia siamea Lam. and maize ( Zea mays L. cv. Katumani composite B). The existence and intensity of root competition in the top soil as manifested by the distribution of the active roots of cassia and maize, in space and time, was assessed. The root length density of maize was far greater than that of cassia in the upper 10 cm, implying that cassia was not competing with maize for water and/or nutrients at that depth. However, at maize crop tasselling and grain filling stages there was a marked overlap of roots of the two plants at lower depths (20—50 cm). This varied with distance from the cassia hedge in a way that there was a tendency for highest overlap near middle maize rows. This partly explained observed yield differences. Therefore cassia may not be a suitable choice for alley cropping with maize under semi-arid conditions on non-sloping land, unless most of its active roots can be properly managed to absorb resources below the feeding rhizosphere of the active maize roots.     

芦苇抑藻化感物质的分离及其抑制蛋白核小球藻效果研究

采用乙醇提取、溶剂萃取法从芦苇中分离出2组能抑制蛋白核小球藻生长的化感物质. 该2组化感物质对蛋白核小球藻的半效应浓度(EC₅₀)分别为0.68mg/L和2.65mg/L. 将前者用碱性氧化铝层析柱分离得到一组抑藻活性更强的化感物质和一组能够促进蛋白核小球藻生长的化感物质: 前者对蛋白核小球藻的EC₅₀为0.50mg/L, 是目前报道的抑藻能力最强的化感物质; 后者在浓度为0.63mg/L时能显著促进蛋白核小球藻的生长. 芦苇化感物质可以用来控制淡水中有害藻类.     

Effects of Zn2+ on root growth,cell division, and nucleoli of Allium cepa L.

The effects of different concentrations of Zn²⁺ion on root growth,cell division,and nucleoli of Allium cepa were studied. The test Zn²⁺ ion concentration was made up from zinc sulphate (ZnSO₄. 7H₂O) ranging from 10^-7 to 10^-2 mol/L. The solutions were prepared in tap water (pH =6. 5).The results indicated that Zn²⁺ could obviously inhibit root growth at concentrations from 10^-4)to 10^-2 mol/L.Roots treated with zinc sulphate showed the presence of c-mitosis, anaphase bridges,including sticky and fluidized bridges (at 10^-3 to 10^-2 mol/L) , chromosome stickiness, irregularly shaped nuclei, broken nuclei and micronuclei. A toxicity effect was also observed on the nucleoli using silver staining technique after 48h of treatment with 10^-4to 10^-2 mol/L Zn²⁺, e. g,the nucleolar particulate material scattered around the nucleoli in the nucleus of root tip cells.

饮用水中隐孢子虫qPCR检测研究

分子生物学的发展推动了分子技术在病原体检测诊断中的应用,建立成熟可靠的饮用水中隐孢子虫的分子检测方法也迫在眉睫.本研究直接提取饮用水浓缩液DNA,对隐孢子虫卵囊目的基因进行定量PCR(quantitative PCR,简称qPCR)检测,并对该体系进行了综合优化.本研究比较了不同冻融处理及不同DNA提取试剂盒对隐孢子虫卵囊DNA提取效果,结果显示,QIAamp DNA Mini kit配合冻融前处理(液氮/沸水5个循环)提取DNA含量较高,用这种方法可以提取到(4±1)个隐孢子虫卵囊DNA.本研究比较了隐孢子虫SYBR green染料法及Taqman探针法qPCR,结果显示,探针法和染料法均可以检测到10个18S rRNA基因拷贝(一个隐虫卵囊含有20个18S rRNA基因拷贝).采用该检测体系测定的去离子水和水源水中隐孢子虫的加标回收率分别达到了55%和46%;本研究提供了饮用水中隐孢子虫检测的一种可行性分子方法.     

Interactive effects of ozone and powdery mildew (Sphaerotheca fuliginea) on bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria)

Interacting effects of ozone at 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 ppm and powdery mildew infection were studied with respect to the growth, flowering and fruit-setting of bottle gourd, and ozone injury, fungal colonization, conidia size and germination. Intermittent exposure in closed-top chambers to ozone at 0.1 or 0.2 ppm, and infection by Sphaerotheca fulginea, each caused significant suppressions of plant growth, flowering and fruit-setting. Fungal colonization was increased by exposures to 0.05 ppm ozone, but decreased by 0.2 ppm ozone. Less browning and necrosis (symptoms of ozone phytotoxicity) appeared on the leaves of mildew-inoculated plants exposed to ozone at 0.1 and 0.2 ppm. Conidia collected from plants exposed to 0.1 and 0.2 ppm were smaller, contained fewer fibrosin bodies and showed poor germination in-vitro. Fumigations with ozone at 0.05 ppm increased the germination of conidia collected from the exposed plants or of the conidia directly exposed to ozone on glass slides in microgas exposure cabinets. Distortion and wall rupturing of the conidia were induced by exposure to ozone at 0.2 ppm for 12 h. Ozone at 0.05 ppm and S. fuliginea jointly suppressed the root and shoot growth of bottle gourd significantly more than the sum of individual effects (synergistic interaction). The fungus infection partially protected the plants from injury by ozone at 0.2 ppm, and exposure to ozone at 0.2 ppm inhibited fungal development. Antagonistic reductions of damage to bottle gourd growth by simultaneous mildew infection and ozone at 0.2 ppm were observed. The study revealed that powdery mildew infection may become severe on bottle gourd grown in areas polluted with mild level of ozone (0.05 ppm) whereas, at 0.1 ppm O₃ or more, the disease will be suppressed.

臭氧灭活水中贾第虫影响因素研究

为研究O3在水体中杀灭贾第虫的效果,利用荧光活体染色法探讨了不同因素(CT值、pH值、温度、浊度、有机物含量和无机离子等)对O3灭活贾第虫效果的影响.结果表明,O3灭活贾第虫整个过程可分为指数和缓慢灭活期,指数灭活期反应速度明显快于缓慢灭活期[k1=(5.64±0.023)×10-1mg·min,k2=(2.72±0.002)×10-2mg·min,k1k2];浊度0.1～20NTU,温度5～35℃,pH值6.0～9.0,HA在0.5～10.0mg/L浓度范围内,浊度越低,灭活效果越好;随温度上升,O3灭活贾第虫的能力减弱;酸性较碱性条件下臭氧杀灭贾第虫的能力更强;有机物浓度越高,在反应体系中与贾第虫发生了竞争作用,降低了灭活率;水中阴离子对灭活率的影响次序为:NO3-NoneSO24-HCO3-,而阳离子(Ca2+、Mg2+和Cu2+)均对灭活起到一定促进作用;当臭氧CT值≥15.0min·mg/L,在饮用水消毒的浊度、温度、pH值、有机和无机杂质浓度范围内,贾第虫的灭活率均在99.0%以上.     

二氯甲烷和二氯乙烷对蛋白核小球藻的毒性影响研究

研究了二氯甲烷和1,2-二氯乙烷对蛋白核小球藻(Chlorella pyrenoidosa)生长和生化指标的毒性效应.结果表明,二氯甲烷和1,2-二氯乙烷对蛋白核小球藻生长有影响.随着2种毒物浓度的增大,其对藻生长的抑制越明显,藻细胞密度均呈现下降的趋势.二氯甲烷和1,2-二氯乙烷抑制蛋白核小球藻生长的96 h-EC50分别为550.1 mg/L和276.0 mg/L,1,2-二氯乙烷的毒性要稍强于二氯甲烷.2种毒物联合作用时基本表现为拮抗作用.叶绿素a含量随毒物浓度增加而迅速下降,SOD和CAT的活性随毒物浓度升高呈现先升高后下降的钟形曲线.MDA的含量随毒物浓度升高而急剧上升,膜脂过氧化加剧.表明毒物通过产生活性氧自由基引起生物大分子的氧化损伤可能是其对蛋白核小球藻产生毒性效应的主要原因.     

不同磷肥对砷超富集植物蜈蚣草修复砷污染土壤的影响

施肥是提高重金属污染土壤的植物修复效率的必要强化措施之一.通过研究农业生产中常用磷肥对砷超富集植物蜈蚣草生长、砷累积及氮磷钾吸收的影响,确定可提高蜈蚣草修复砷污染土壤能力的最佳磷肥类型.结果表明,与不施砷对照组相比.添加砷处理中施用相应磷肥的蜈蚣草总生物量中蜈蚣草均有所降低(除钙镁磷肥外);在添加砷的情况下,钙镁磷肥、磷酸二氢钙和磷酸二氢铵等3个施磷处理总生物量相对较高.显著高于其他磷肥处理和不施磷处理(0.83 g/pot);地上部砷累积量由大到小的顺序为:磷酸二氢钙>钙镁磷肥>磷酸二氢铵>磷酸二氢钾>磷酸二氢钠>不施磷>过磷酸钙;磷酸二氢钙处理的砷去除效率高达7.28%.由此可见,磷肥能一定程度提高砷超富集植物的修复能力,但不同磷肥对其砷去除效率的影响可达数倍之差,磷酸二氢钙是首选磷肥类型,综合考虑土壤pH、N、P和有效态砷等各种因子,磷酸二氢铵和钙镁磷肥也可作备选肥料类型.     

EDTA和铁对铜绿微囊藻和四尾栅藻生长和竞争的影响

铁限制不但会影响浮游植物的种群密度,而且会影响浮游植物的群落结构.为了探讨有机配体和铁的作用对湖泊中浮游植物的种群竞争,采用批量培养的方法,研究了不同EDTA及Fe浓度下,太湖蓝藻铜绿微囊藻和绿藻四尾栅藻的生长和竞争.结果表明,较高浓度的EDTA（≥13 .5 μmol/L）可以抑制铜绿微囊藻的生长,但不抑制四尾栅藻,因而有利于四尾栅藻占据优势;铁的浓度由3 μmol/L增大至18 μmol/L时,可缓解较高浓度EDTA（13 .5～27 μmol/L）对铜绿微囊藻的抑制作用,而增大其它微量元素浓度（B、Mn、Zn、Cu、Mo等）则无此作用;说明高浓度EDTA与铁的螯合作用能抑制铜绿微囊藻而不抑制四尾栅藻.高浓度EDTA对2种藻具有不同影响的原因可能是2种藻对铁的吸收机制不同.     

Metal pollution in relation to mass outbreaks of Dendrolimus punctatus Walker on Pinus massoniana Lamb.in China

Insects with their ecological superpower have enormous capacity to transform small pollution damage in forests to full scale calamities. Acid rain resulting from extensive coal burning is the chief pollutant in China. Acid rain activates from soil deposits toxic metals, which are transferred to trees and further to insects eating them. We studied the levels of the toxic Cd, its antagonists Zn and Cu, and acid rain indicators Fe and Mn in the forest pest moth Dendrolimus punctatus Walker (Lepidoptera:Lasiocampidae) in variously polluted Pinus massoniana Lamb forests in China. The highest density of D. punctatus, as well as the highest Cd levels developed in the moderately polluted forests. Possibly Cd had there broken down the pest resistance of the pines. The paradoxical coexistence of high Cd level and elevated population density of the pest seems to result from the high accumulation of Cd in its ichneumonid parasitoid. In the most heavily polluted forests the Cd level in needles was low, possibly because the strong acid rain had washed away most of the Cd deposit in the soil. It existed there no D.punctatus population. Absence of pest insects from the most heavily polluted areas is a common phenomenon.     

紫花苜蓿吸收水溶液中Cd2+过程的阳离子交换

采用水培方法,研究了紫花苜蓿吸收水溶液中Cd2＋时根系与水环境的阳离子交换.考察了紫花苜蓿分别在0、1、2、4、8、12、24、72 h对0～10 mg.L-1 Cd2＋体系中Cd2＋的吸收效果,体系中Na＋、K＋、Mg2＋、Ca2＋、NH 4＋阳离子的浓度变化,以及溶液pH变化.并以SPSS 13.0多重线性回归建立Cd2＋吸收量与阳离子变化量模型.结果表明,紫花苜蓿对体系中Cd2＋有一定吸收作用,72 h时对0.1、1、5、10 mg.L-1 Cd2＋的吸收率分别为85.86%、52.14%、15.97%、7.81%;紫花苜蓿对Cd2＋的吸收过程存在阳离子交换作用,除NH 4＋外体系中Na＋、K＋、Mg2＋、Ca2＋离子浓度随时间均有一定的增大,分别增加了11.30%～61.72%、21.44%～98.73%、24.09%～48.90%、37.04%～191.96%;准二级动力学模型可以较好地描述体系中Na＋、K＋、Mg2＋、Ca2＋的变化规律,在Cd2＋浓度为1、5、10 mg.L-1时准二级动力学模型对NH 4＋变化规律的拟合也是合适的;紫花苜蓿对Cd2＋吸收过程中体系pH下降,H＋可能作为Cd2＋竞争离子,影响紫花苜蓿根系对Cd2＋的吸收能力;三元线性回归方程证明紫花苜蓿对Cd2＋吸收量主要与Ca2＋、Mg2＋、Na＋变化量有关,且其交换主要发生在Cd2＋与二价阳离子之间.     

Long-term dynamics of biomass production, soil chemical properties and plant species composition of alluvial grassland after the cessation of fertilizer application in the Czech Republic

The resilience, the ability of an ecosystem to recover after termination of perturbation, of highly productive Alopecurus grassland was investigated after the cessation of the following long-term fertilizer treatments applied under a two- or three-cut management regime: unfertilized control, PK, N₁₀₀PK, N₂₀₀PK, N₃₀₀PK and N₄₀₀PK. Annual application rates of pure nutrients per hectare were 0–400 kg for N, 40 kg for P and 100 kg for K. The dynamics of biomass production were measured for 16 years and the effect of former fertilizer treatments on soil chemical properties, biomass chemical properties, plant species composition and species richness were investigated 16 years after the last application of fertilizers. It was concluded that 16 years was not long enough to achieve resilience in plant-available soil P and K concentrations, N/P ratios in the plant biomass or plant species composition, but that it was long enough to achieve resilience in species richness. In the case of biomass production the effect of former fertilizer treatments was apparent in 10 of the 16 seasons investigated, indicating that resilience in biomass production must be evaluated using data from more than 1 vegetation season. The results of the study stress the necessity for long-term research because of high year-to-year variability in biomass production as well as long-term after-effects of fertilizer treatments in alluvial grassland.     

Effect of chromium on growth attributes in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)

Heavy metal soil pollution takes place when the metal concentration of soil exceeds natural background level and causes ecological destruction and deterioration of the environment. In the present study, a pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of chromium-contaminated soil in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) growth attributes. Three different levels of chromium (Cr) i.e., 20, 40, and 60 mg/kg were applied to three varieties of sunflower (G-3, G-9, and G-59). The results of morphological, chemical, and yield parameters were recorded at crop maturity. The result showed that germination, root, and shoot lengths were decreased with increase in Cr concentrations. A gradual decrease was observed for various morphological parameters like root fresh and dry weights, shoot fresh and dry weights, and plant height with increase in Cr levels. A comparison among Cr treatments obtained a significant decrease in yield parameters as achenes/capitulum, achenes/plant, and 100 achenes weight in three varieties. Cr was significantly absorbed by roots but its transport to other parts of plants was slow, and uptake in seeds was much lower than in roots and shoots.     

羟基磷灰石对Cd污染土壤中马铃薯生长及品质的影响

通过温室盆栽实验研究了施用羟基磷灰石改良Cd污染土壤对马铃薯生长及品质的影响.实验设置了3个Cd污染水平(0、5、10 mg.kg-1)、6个羟基磷灰石施用量(0、4、8、10、16、30 g.kg-1)和2个马铃薯品种(中薯3号、大西洋).结果表明,土壤Cd污染导致马铃薯单株产量下降(5 mg.kg-1的Cd污染土壤中降低24%～31%,10 mg.kg-1的Cd污染土壤中降低41%～45%),但是施用羟基磷灰石可以提高单株产量.相对于不施用羟基磷灰石,5 mg.kg-1的Cd污染土壤中施用10 g.kg-1的羟基磷灰石可以增产17%～39%,10 mg.kg-1的Cd污染土壤中施用30 g.kg-1的羟基磷灰石可以增产45%～58%.由于羟基磷灰石改善了Cd污染土壤环境,因此马铃薯器官中叶绿素含量和SOD活性明显上升,而MDA含量明显下降.施用羟基磷灰石也提高了马铃薯品质,马铃薯块茎中维生素C含量、淀粉含量以及蛋白质含量也明显提高.随着羟基磷灰石施用量由0 g.kg-1增加到30 g.kg-1,在5 mg.kg-1的Cd污染土壤中,马铃薯块茎Cd含量由0.87～0.95 mg.kg-1下降到0.13～0.21 mg.kg-1,降幅为78%～85%;在10 mg.kg-1的Cd污染土壤中,块茎Cd含量由1.86～1.93 mg.kg-1下降到0.52～0.65 mg.kg-1,降幅为66%～72%.实验表明,羟基磷灰石缓解土壤Cd毒性的主要机制是提高土壤pH值,降低土壤中有效态Cd含量,羟基磷灰石中的Ca阻碍土壤Cd向马铃薯迁移.但是羟基磷灰石对土壤Cd毒性的缓解效应是有限性的,过量施用可能对马铃薯生长和品质产生胁迫作用.在Cd污染土壤中施用适量的羟基磷灰石后中薯3号生长状况和品质好于大西洋,说明不同马铃薯品种对种植环境的改善有不同的响应.
