生物炭对小麦种子萌发与幼苗生长的植物毒理效应

为明确生物炭对植物的毒性效应,以石英砂+生物炭水浸提液培养方法研究不同剂量生物炭对小麦种子萌发与幼苗生长的影响。结果表明:在不同剂量(0.0、10.0、20.0、40.0、80.0、160.0 g·kg~(-1))生物炭水浸提液处理下,虽然小麦发芽率较对照组无显著性变化(P0.05),但根、芽生长表现出低剂量促进高剂量抑制,且在160.0 g·kg~(-1)时抑制率最大,分别为18.11%和22.22%。在幼苗的生长期(11 d),高剂量生物炭对幼苗根生长的抑制作用增强,160.0 g·kg~(-1)处理下抑制率显著增加至55.59%(P0.05)。此外,当生物炭剂量较低时,小麦幼苗根、叶中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、过氧化物酶(POD)活力增加;随生物炭剂量的增加,3种抗氧化酶活力降低,丙二醛(MDA)含量升高,幼苗生长出现生理损伤,表现出明显植物毒性效应。     

3种抗生素对黑麦草种子萌发的生态毒性效应

为探明四环素、环丙沙星和磺胺嘧啶3种抗生素对黑麦草种子萌发的影响,为评价抗生素污染的生态影响提供科学依据,采用保湿培养法研究了它们对黑麦草种子萌发的影响,比较分析了抗生素的生态毒性差异和相对敏感的指标。结果表明,在种子萌发期,一定浓度范围的抗生素胁迫会引发植物种子抵抗逆境的应激反应,因此,3种抗生素在1 mg·L~(-1)处理水平下均能促进种子发芽。超过该浓度,四环素对黑麦草种子发芽仍有一定的促进作用,而环丙沙星和磺胺嘧啶则表现为抑制作用。四环素对种子发芽率的最大无作用浓度(NOEC)为5 mg·L~(-1),而环丙沙星和磺胺嘧啶对种子发芽率的NOEC为1 mg·L~(-1)。实验结束时,3种抗生素在1 mg·L~(-1)处理水平下的种子发芽率最高。3种抗生素浓度超过0.1 mg·L~(-1)时,种子根长和芽长即受到抑制,因此,它们对种子根长和芽长的NOEC均为0～0.1 mg·L~(-1)。其中,磺胺嘧啶的抑制作用最为显著。根长受到抑制的程度强于芽长。黑麦草种子萌发受3种抗生素影响程度依次为磺胺嘧啶环丙沙星四环素。     

铅、镉对南荻种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响

以中国特有的非粮能源植物——南荻(Triarrhena lutarioriparia)为试验材料,采用水培法研究重金属铅(5、10、20、50、80 mg·L~(-1))、镉(0.5、1、5、10、20 mg·L~(-1))对南荻种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响,旨在为植物修复重金属污染土壤提供一定的依据。结果表明,南荻种子的发芽率、发芽势、发芽指数和活力指数均与铅、镉处理质量浓度呈极显著负相关(P0.01),铅处理质量浓度(≤50 mg·L~(-1))显著增加异常发芽率(P0.05)。铅对南荻根长抑制作用显著(P0.05),当铅质量浓度达到10 mg·L~(-1)时,芽伸长开始受到抑制;镉胁迫对南荻种子根和芽的生长均表现为低浓度促进、高浓度抑制的作用,镉质量浓度为0.5、1 mg·L~(-1)时,南荻根长较对照分别增加18.8%、10.8%,当镉质量浓度≥5 mg·L~(-1)时,根长抑制率与芽长抑制率均显著增大(P0.05)。铅、镉处理对南荻种子根长的抑制作用大于对芽长的抑制作用。回归分析表明,南荻铅胁迫下种子萌发和幼苗生长的临界浓度和极限浓度分别大于镉胁迫对应的浓度,说明南荻种子对铅的耐性强于镉。铅、镉对南荻种子的毒害作用不可逆。     

铜与草甘膦复合污染对小麦种子发芽与根伸长的抑制作用

污染物的交互作用及其生态毒理效应已成为环境科学研究的重要方向.论文以小麦种子为供试作物,研究了重金属铜(Cu2+)与除草剂草甘膦复合污染对其发芽率以及发芽后的根长、芽长的影响,以表征Cu与草甘膦复合污染的生态毒性.研究结果表明,在实验浓度下,Cu2+单一污染对小麦发芽率没有明显的影响,对根伸长和芽长的抑制显著;而草甘膦单一污染对小麦发芽、根伸长和芽长均有明显的抑制效应.当Cu2+与草甘膦复合污染时,Cu2+的存在在一定程度上减弱了草甘膦对小麦发芽及芽长的抑制作用;而在根伸长实验中,在低草甘膦浓度条件下,Cu2+的存在在一定程度上增加了草甘膦对根伸长的抑制作用;在较高草甘膦浓度条件下,Cu2+的存在则降低了草甘膦对根伸长的抑制作用.Cu2+的存在减轻草甘膦对小麦毒性的可能原因是:草甘膦与Cu2+络合形成了毒性较小的稳定络合物,使草甘膦毒性降低或失去活性.     

铜-磺胺嘧啶复合胁迫对蔬菜种子发芽的急性毒性效应

研究了黄潮土中常用兽药磺胺嘧啶(SD)与重金属铜(Cu)单一及复合污染对小白菜和西红柿种子发芽(发芽率、根伸长、芽伸长)的影响,分析了土壤中药物浓度与作物生长抑制的剂量-效应关系及复合污染的毒性效应。结果表明,无论是在Cu或SD单一污染物作用下,根伸长和芽伸长抑制率与污染物浓度显著相关(P0.01),发芽抑制率与污染物浓度不相关(P0.05);污染物对根伸长及芽伸长的抑制高于对种子发芽的抑制;SD对2种作物的毒性效应明显强于Cu,SD对小白菜和西红柿根伸长的ID50(抑制率为50%时污染物浓度)分别为1.7和33.6 mg·kg~(-1),而Cu为273.6和457.7 mg·kg~(-1)。Cu-SD复合污染,对西红柿的根和芽伸长的拮抗作用显著(P0.01);但对小白菜来说,在低浓度Cu(100 mg·kg~(-1))作用下,二者的联合拮抗作用不显著(P0.05),随Cu的增加,拮抗作用显著(P0.01)。     

生物质炭对土霉素胁迫下小白菜种子萌发的影响

采用土培模拟污染实验,将甘蔗渣炭、菠萝渣炭和木薯渣炭分别以0%、0.1%、0.5%和1.0%的炭土比添加到砖红壤中,研究土霉素胁迫下小白菜种子萌发效应。结果表明:(1)生物质炭促进种子萌发;土霉素在0~300 mg·kg~(-1)胁迫下种子发芽率未受明显影响,300~500 mg·kg~(-1)时受轻微抑制。(2)土霉素为0~100 mg·kg~(-1)时对种子根及芽伸长呈促进作用,促进率最高达33.05%。100~500 mg·kg~(-1)呈抑制效应,最大抑制率63.98%;种子对土霉素的敏感顺序依次为:根伸长>芽伸长>发芽率。(3)在土霉素胁迫下炭土比与种子根伸长呈显著正相关。3种生物质炭对小白菜种子根及芽伸长的促进效果呈:木薯渣炭>菠萝渣炭>甘蔗渣炭。(4)生物质炭和低浓度土霉素共同促进小白菜萌发,对高浓度土霉素毒性有缓解作用。     

四环素对不同品种蔬菜毒性阈值及其敏感性分布

研究抗生素污染对蔬菜毒性阈值及其敏感性分布,对于科学评价土壤抗生素污染的生态风险具有重要意义。采用室内培养方法,选取四环素(TC)作为代表抗生素,调查其对珠三角地区多种蔬菜品种种子萌发的影响。以影响程度最大的指标为测试终点,采用Log-logistic分布模型,对TC的毒性剂量-效应关系进行拟合,并计算其IC₅₀和IC₁₀。以IC₅₀为评价参数,采用物种敏感性分布法(Species sensitivity distributions,SSD),构建TC污染对不同蔬菜品种的SSD曲线,并获得TC毒性阈值(HC₅)和无效应浓度(PNEC)。结果表明,TC污染对实验所选品种蔬菜种子萌发指标的影响程度为：根长>芽长>发芽率,当TC质量浓度为10 mg·L^-1时,9种品种蔬菜种子相对根长、相对芽长和发芽率分别为16.9%-72.5%,42.3%-129.4%,83%-100%。TC污染对种子萌发的影响程度不仅与测试指标相关,还与蔬菜品种密切相关。当TC质量浓度为10mg·L<...     

标准化测试种子发芽和根伸长毒性试验的基质应用研究

种子发芽和根伸长毒性试验是研究和评价新化学物质对陆生生物危害性的重要手段之一。为探究在标准化测试中能否使用非推荐基质,以及使用推荐基质时能否用灭菌法替代酸洗法处理石英砂,选取8种植物种子在5种基质中进行试验。结果表明,不同基质对种子发芽率的影响较小,但基质较低的养分含量和特殊的物理结构易对部分种子根长形成胁迫,甚至直接制约根系发育。生菜、水稻在5种基质中的发芽率和根长无显著性差异;绿豆、甘蓝、西瓜在酸洗石英砂中的根长分别为25.1、24.5、29.0 mm,在其余4种基质中根长显著缩短;青瓜在吸水纸和发芽纸中发芽率偏低,仅为83.3%;玉米在酸洗石英砂和灭菌石英砂中的发芽率和根长无明显差异,为100%/45.7 mm和93.3%/44.8 mm,其他基质中显著偏低。标准化测试条件下,以推荐的酸洗石英砂上各种子的发芽率和根长为评判依据,生菜和水稻试验可使用本研究中任意基质,绿豆、甘蓝和西瓜试验仅可使用酸洗石英砂作为基质,青瓜和玉米试验可使用干热灭菌法替代酸洗法处理石英砂,并且青瓜试验还可使用滤纸基质。以上结果为测试机构在工作实践中优化试验条件提供理论依据。     

镉与除草剂草甘磷的交互作用对小麦的毒性

种子发芽试验、根伸长抑制试验及植物早期生长试验是目前所建立的3种高等植物毒性试验，这些试验通过研究植物在污染条件下根系发育状况、生物量减少程度或植物耐污特性等方面而对污染物的环境效应进行诊断。文章研究了镉与草甘磷交互作用对小麦发芽率以及发芽后小麦的根长和芽长的影响。结果发现，镉对小麦发芽率没有明显影响，而草甘磷对小麦发芽率、根长和芽长有明显抑制效应。镉在一定程度上降低了草甘磷对小麦发芽的毒性，但对小麦生长仍有明显毒害。当镉与草甘磷共同作用于小麦时，镉的存在增加了低浓度草甘磷的生物毒性，而降低了高浓度草甘磷的生物毒性或没有影响。但是，随着镉浓度增加它们的联合毒件又逐渐增加。     

佳乐麝香对萝卜种子发芽及DNA损伤的生态毒理影响

由于佳乐麝香(HHCB)被广泛应用于日用化工产品中,被持续不断地释放到环境中,所产生的生态风险已引起越来越多的重视。为探究HHCB的生态毒性效应,在水培条件下考察了不同浓度HHCB对萝卜的表观生长指标(发芽率、根伸长抑制率、芽伸长抑制率)和基于随机引物扩增多态性(RAPD)图谱的根尖DNA损伤状况。研究结果显示:低剂量(≤25 mg·L~(-1))胁迫对萝卜发芽无显著影响(P0.05);高剂量(≥50 mg·L~(-1))胁迫可以显著抑制萝卜发芽率(P0.05)。萝卜的根长和芽长抑制率随HHCB浓度增加而呈上升趋势,且根伸长对HHCB胁迫较芽伸长更敏感,更适宜指示HHCB对植物的生态毒性效应。萝卜根尖基因组DNA的RAPD分析结果表明:大于或等于5 mg·L~(-1)的HHCB即可明显导致萝卜根尖基因组DNA损伤,且随着HHCB浓度的升高,根尖基因组DNA含量呈线性降低,DNA多态率增加,基因组模板稳定性(GTS)减小,遗传相似性变远。这表明较低剂量的HHCB胁迫就能够导致萝卜根尖基因组DNA损伤,且随浓度升高而损伤严重。因此,利用RAPD技术获得的萝卜DNA多态性变化可作为检测HHCB遗传毒性效应的敏感生物标记物,为化学品污染生态毒理早期诊断提供科学依据。     

Response of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) to salinity in the early growth stages for agricultural cultivation in saline environments

Salinity is a serious environmental problem. Growing of plants like tomato can be solution for coping with soil salinity. For this purpose, response of tomato to salinity has been tested in the early growth stages. Characteristics of germination (percentage and period; length and fresh-dry weight of radicle and hypcotyl) and seedling (length and fresh-dry weight of root, shoot and whole plant; leaf number and area based on Relative Growth Rate); Na+ and K+ content of leaf; K+/Na+ rate of leaf has been studied at the 0, 50, 100 and 150 mM NaCl levels. Thus, it determined that tomato can be indicator for agricultural cultivation at the salinity environments at the early growth stages.     

Studies on phytotoxic effect of aluminium on growth and some morphological parameters of Vigna radiata L. Wilczek

Aluminium toxicity is a major deterrent for plant growth in acid soils below pH 5.0. This study deals with effect of aluminium toxicity on growth of mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) seedlings. Seed germination (in %) declined with increased content of Al2(SO4)3, while promotive effect was observed at very low dosage. Different concentrations of aluminum sulphate salt were applied to mungbean seeds. Measurement of aluminium content in mungbean leaves was done through atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Root length (root and hypocotyl length) and shoot length (shoot and epicotyl length) was measured at seven days old seedling stage. Different concentrations of Al2(SO4)3 were found to have significant effect both on shoot and root length. Leaf area, fresh and dry weight was significantly reduced. Increased stomatal frequency and trichome density with an increase in concentrations of Al2(S04)3 was observed through scanning electron microscope.     

Effects of gamma rays irradiation on seed germination and growth of hard wheat

The effects of irradiation with low doses (0, 10, 20 and 30 Gy) of radioactive cobalt (⁶⁰Co) γ rays on seed germination, shoot and epicotyl growth of hard wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) were investigated under laboratory and glasshouse conditions. Irradiated wheat seeds kept their germination speed and capacity levels compared to the control. However, improvements of +18 and +32% were, respectively obtained in root number and root length at the 20-Gy dose. Moreover, the 20-Gy-irradiation dose generated an increase of +33% in epicotyl length. The 20-Gy-irradiation dose improved the root length by +32% and root number by +75% in plants grown on liquid medium. A lower root length increase of +23% was obtained with the same treatment under glasshouse growing conditions. These results show that the in depth development stimulation of hard wheat roots following gamma ray treatment may be used for drought control.     

PBS降解过程对植物发芽和生理特性的影响研究

采用青菜（Green vegetables）和生菜（Romaine lettuce）的种子发芽和室外盆栽实验,通过考察植物的种子发芽、生物量以及叶绿素质量浓度等指标,研究了可生物降解材料聚丁二酸丁二醇酯（PBS）对青菜和生菜发芽和生长过程中生理特性（植株地上鲜、干质量,地下鲜、干质量,株高,根长,叶片数,叶绿素质量浓度）的影响。研究结果表明：（1）土壤中加入PBS有利于青菜种子的发芽,较大幅度的提高了其发芽率、苗长、根长等,并且随着PBS质量分数的增加这种促进作用越发明显,PBS×100处理组的苗长和根长较空白对照组分别增长了12.9%和26.1%;（2）低质量分数的PBS对青菜和生菜的发芽、生长以及叶绿素的合成具有一定的促进作用,但是高质量分数的PBS则会产生轻微的抑制作用。     

Phytotoxicity and persistence of metribuzin residues in black soil

A bioassay procedure based on the root and shoot growth of cucumber and sorghum were used to study the phytotoxicity, as affected by varying the concentration of metribuzin, and persistence of metribuzin residues in soil. Sorghum and cucumber were found to be very susceptible test plant species to metribuzin. It was found that the persistence and phytotoxicity increased with increasing rate of application of metribuzin, and the relationship between herbicide concentration and phytotoxicity was best described by a quadratic equation. Sorghum and cucumber plants emerged as very sensitive new bioassay plants for metribuzin and could detect residues even at 0.010 and 0.046?ppm in the post harvest soil of potato crop.     

Sensitive crop species and appropriate bioassays for potential use in phytotoxicity assessment of Pb-contaminated soils

The present study aims to determine the phytotoxic effects of lead (Pb) on corn (Zea mays), wheat (Triticum aestivum), cucumber (Cucumis sativus), cabbage (Brassica oleracea) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and to identify the sensitive crop species and appropriate bioassays for potential use in phytotoxicity assessment of Pb-contaminated soil. In a laboratory experiment, Pb(NO₃)₂ was added to the background soil to obtain eight Pb treatments. The results indicate that the seed germination rate of lettuce decreases by 14.44%, 30.00% and 40.00% at 2000, 3000 and 4000 mg Pb kg^?1 soil, respectively. However, the germination of corn, wheat, cucumber and cabbage is not significantly influenced by the Pb-contaminated soil treated with all the tested concentrations. Furthermore, the root elongation is more sensitive to Pb than is seed germination. The minimum concentrations of adverse effect of maize, wheat, cucumber, cabbage and lettuce are 2000, 3000, 1300, 800 and 300 mg Pb kg^?1 soil, respectively. Moreover, dicotyledon species are more sensitive than monocotyledon species. In the genotoxicity study, the mitotic index (MI) fluctuates with an increasing Pb concentration. The micronuclei (MN) frequencies of cucumber, cabbage and lettuce exhibit a dose-dependent effect at concentrations ranging from 1300 to 4000 mg Pb kg^?1 soil. It can be concluded that lettuce is a good candidate for indicating the toxicity of Pb in soil. Root elongation and the micronucleus frequency of dicotyledon are appropriate bioassays for potential use in phytotoxicity assessment of Pb-contaminated soil.     

Phytotoxicity of fuel to crop plants: influence of soil properties,fuel type,and plant tolerance

The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of fuel-contaminated soils on the germination, survival, and early growth of six crop plants, viz. Brassica oleracea, Trifolium repens, Lactuca sativa, Avena sativa, Pisum sativum, and Zea mays, grown on Cambisol A and B horizons contaminated with gasoline and diesel (0%, 1.25%, 2.5%, 5%, and 10%, w/w). Fuel toxicity was more evident in the B horizon than in the A horizon, and diesel was more toxic than gasoline, probably due to the higher evaporation rate of the latter. Fuels affected the germination and survival of small-seeded plants to a higher extent, reflecting the importance of the seed coat and nutrient reserves for successful plant development in fuel-contaminated soils. In general, root growth was more strongly affected than shoot growth, and plant biomass was more strongly affected than elongation, leading to a less plant branching in the presence of fuel. The findings of this study can be useful for selecting the least fuel-tolerant species as soil contamination bioindicator and for determining the risks of fuel contamination. Due to the low residence time of gasoline components in soil, this phytotoxicity test resulted in an unsuitable bioassay to assess gasoline toxicity.
