植物根系分泌物分析及对湿地微生物群落的影响研究

植物是人工湿地的重要组成部分,其通过根系分泌物对湿地中的微生物群落结构产生影响。本研究分析了美人蕉（Canna indica）、茭白（Zizania caduciflora）、千屈菜（Lythrum salicaria Linn）等3种湿地植物的根系分泌能力及分泌物组成。3种植物的根系分泌物主要组成物质相似,均含有小分子有机酸、酚类、芳香族蛋白质,但各组成比例有所差异。分泌能力则随生长周期持续下降,千屈菜的分泌能力远强于美人蕉和茭白。本研究利用醌指纹研究人工湿地中微生物群落结构,结果发现不同湿地植物对湿地中微生物的组成和多样性产生显著影响。     

The enhancement of photodegradation efficiency using Pt-TiO2 catalyst

The residues from the extraction of lead/zinc (Pb/Zn) ores of most Pb/Zn mines are permanently stored in tailings ponds, which require revegetation to reduce their environmental impact. This can only be done if the main constraints on plant establishment are evaluated. This can readily be done by field and greenhouse studies.

To test this, the properties of different tailings from Lechang Pb/Zn mine located at the north of Guangdong Province in southern China have been studied. Physical and chemical properties including concentrations of metals (Pb, Zn, Cd and Cu) in the tailings and soils collected from different sites have been measured. The results showed that tailings contain low nitrogen (0.016–0.075%), low-organic matter (0.58–1.78%), high salt (3.55–13.85 dS/m), and high total and diethylene–tetramine–pentaacetic acid (DTPA)-extractable metal concentrations (total: 1019–1642 μg g⁻¹ Pb, 3078–6773 μg g⁻¹ Zn, 8–23 μg g⁻¹ Cd, and 85–192 μg g⁻¹ Cu; DTPA-extractable: 59–178 μg g⁻¹ Pb, 21–200 μg g⁻¹ Zn, 0.30–1.5 μg g⁻¹ Cd, and 4.3–12 μg g⁻¹ Cu). Aqueous extracts of tailings/soils (10%, 20% and 30%, w/v) from different sites were prepared for testing their effects on seed germination and root elongation of a vegetable crop Brassica chinensis and a grass species Cynodon dactylon. It was found that root elongation provided a better evaluation of toxicity than seed germination. The ranking of toxicity using root elongation was: high-sulfur tailings>tailingdam>sparsely vegetated tailings>densely vegetated tailings>mountain soil for both plants. This order was consistent with DTPA-extractable Pb contents in the tailings and soils. B. chinensis seedlings were then grown in the mixtures of different proportions of tailings and farm soil for 4 weeks, and the results (dry weights of seedlings) were in line with the root elongation test. All these demonstrated that heavy metal toxicity, especially available Pb, low content of nutrient, and poor physical structure were major constraints on plant establishment and colonization on the Pb/Zn mine tailings.     

氮对镉胁迫下东南景天根系形态及镉积累的影响

通过水培试验,研究了供氮(尿素)对镉胁迫下两种生态型东南景天根系形态及镉积累的影响.实验结果表明,当供氮水平为4～16 mmol/L时,能明显促进东南景天的根系生长;当供氮水平为32～64 mmol/L时,与对照相比,东南景天的根系长度、根系表面积和根系体积等指标明显受到抑制.不同供氮水平对两种生态型东南景天0＜D≤0.2 mm的根系生长影响最大,而对D＞0.2 mm的根系影响较小.不同供氮水平下,两种生态型东南景天均以0＜D≤0.4 mm的根系为主,其中根系长度、根系表面积和根系体积分别占总根系长度、总根系表面积和总根系体积的66.3%～81.2%、68.5%～80.3%和62.1%～79.8%.氮素对东南景天的镉积累有一定的促进作用,随着氮素用量的增加,镉积累逐渐升高,与根系形态不同的是,镉积累量在供氮水平为32 mmol/L 时达到最大.适当提高营养液氮素用量有利于提高东南景天的各项根系形态指标和镉积累量.
