特殊植物类群空气凤梨对大气污染物甲醛的净化

空气凤梨是一类生长在空气中、不需要土壤、生长所需的水分和营养可以全部来自空气的特殊植物。它们常被用来指示与修复大气重金属污染物和有机污染物,但尚未应用于甲醛净化研究。为了探讨空气凤梨对甲醛的净化效果,我们以2种空气凤梨为实验材料,吊兰为对照材料,通过密封箱内甲醛熏蒸及在封闭的实际环境中进行了实验。结果表明,松萝铁兰、硬叶空凤和吊兰3种植物在甲醛胁迫下,外部形态和生理指标有一定的变化,但未受到明显的伤害。更重要的是,3种植物对甲醛均有相当强的净化作用。6～8 h后,2种空气凤梨对甲醛的净化可达到与吊兰相近的效果。而在2 h内,空气凤梨净化甲醛的速度远远大于吊兰,这可能是与空气凤梨叶片表面覆盖有亲水性的鳞片层有关。上述结果表明,空气凤梨是比吊兰更快速有效地净化甲醛的植物类群,可选择应用于室内甲醛污染去除。     

Leaf age affects the responses of foliar injury and gas exchange to tropospheric ozone in Prunus serotina seedlings

We investigated the effect of leaf age on the response of net photosynthesis (A), stomatal conductance (g_wv), foliar injury, and leaf nitrogen concentration (N_L) to tropospheric ozone (O₃) on Prunus serotina seedlings grown in open-plots (AA) and open-top chambers, supplied with either carbon-filtered or non-filtered air. We found significant variation in A, g_wv, foliar injury, and N_L (P < 0.05) among O₃ treatments. Seedlings in AA showed the highest A and g_wv due to relatively low vapor pressure deficit (VPD). Older leaves showed significantly lower A, g_wv, N_L, and higher foliar injury (P < 0.001) than younger leaves. Leaf age affected the response of A, g_wv, and foliar injury to O₃. Both VPD and N_L had a strong influence on leaf gas exchange. Foliar O₃-induced injury appeared when cumulative O₃ uptake reached 8-12 mmol m⁻², depending on soil water availability. The mechanistic assessment of O₃-induced injury is a valuable approach for a biologically relevant O₃ risk assessment for forest trees.     

Susceptibility of Eucalyptus globulus to Mnesampela privata defoliation in relation to a specific foliar wax compound

Summary. Increased abundance of several aliphatic benzyl and phenylethyl alkanoates were previously associated with reduced defoliation of Eucalyptus globulus Labill. by the autumn gum moth (Mnesampela privata Guenée) in two clonally replicated F₂ families. We examine the robustness of this association by comparing the abundance of the implicated foliar wax compounds with defoliation levels in three plantation sites and a genetics trial in northern Tasmania. At all locations, the aliphatic alkanoate, benzyl n-tetracosanoate (C₂₄), was found in significantly higher abundance in the foliar wax of E. globulus trees that had displayed low M. privata damage (designated resistant) compared to trees that had displayed high damage (designated susceptible). Further, when sites were combined, benzyl n-tetracosanoate (C₂₄) accounted for 16 % of variation in field defoliation. Field defoliation was also positively correlated to M. privata oviposition both in the field and on foliage sprigs in a cage. In the cage bioassay, oviposition accounted for 20 % of variation in field defoliation making it a better predictor of tree defoliation in the field than either field oviposition, which accounted for 9 % of variation, or screening foliage for the abundance of benzyl n-tetracosanoate (C₂₄). Despite both benzyl n-tetracosanoate (C₂₄) and oviposition being related to field defoliation, there was no statistically significant relationship between the abundance of benzyl n-tetracosanoate (C₂₄) and oviposition in the field or cage bioassay. Further work is therefore required to determine if increased levels of this compound in the foliar wax operates as a direct deterrent to M. privataoviposition.     

钝化与叶面阻控对不同基因型红菜苔镉累积的影响

为探索中轻度重金属镉(Cd)污染农田安全利用技术,实现农产品安全生产,以两种不同镉累积基因型红菜苔为供试作物,采用盆栽试验的方法,分别于两种作物上设置相同的6个处理:对照(CK)、添加3%(质量分数)生物质炭(BC)、添加0.17%钙镁磷肥(CMP)、叶面喷施3 mg·L~(-1) Na_2SeO_3的水溶液(Se)、 BC+Se和CMP+Se,研究不同处理土壤镉有效性变化及植株不同部位镉累积特征.结果表明:①相同处理下,低镉累积基因型金秋红三号红菜苔根部土壤有效态镉含量均显著低于高镉累积基因型十月红.BC和CMP两种钝化剂对金秋红三号根部土壤中的镉钝化效果显著,且BC效果更佳,钝化处理的效果显著优于叶面阻控.②金秋红三号红菜苔根系较十月红对镉有更强的富集能力,其富集的镉倾向于囤积在根部.叶面施硒与两种钝化剂对抑制镉向红菜苔可食部位转移富集无协同效果.③在BC和CMP钝化处理下,金秋红三号红菜苔可食部位镉含量低于GB 2762-2017中镉限量值(0.10mg·kg~(-1)).本研究表明,针对中轻度镉污染农田土壤,通过施加生物质炭、钙镁磷肥等绿色钝化剂,种植弱吸收低积累作物品种,可以实现受镉污染农田的安全利用和农产品的安全生产.     

城区叶面尘特性及其多环芳烃含量

用多步连续洗脱方法采集了干线道路路侧和远离道路校园内冬青卫矛叶面积尘,研究了叶面尘的采集方法.测定了2类叶面尘的粒径分布、有机碳含量和多环芳烃含量.结果表明,所测样品上的叶面尘可以在超声条件下4min一步洗脱.路边样品叶面尘积累量几乎是校园样品的2倍.2样品粒径分布基本形态非常相似,包括200μm以上和以下2个组分.后者占绝对优势.但校园内样品叶面尘粒径明显小于路边样品,两者粒径中位数分别为17.2μm和23.1μm.路边样中相对较粗部分显然来自机动车行驶扰动.由于颗粒较细,采自校园叶面尘中多环芳烃含量略高于路边样品.但不同多环芳烃分布谱非常相似.     

叶面喷施硫对镉污染土壤中水稻累积镉的机制研究

Cd（镉）污染稻田已成为影响全球农田土壤环境安全的重要问题,叶面喷施技术可以提高水稻对Cd的抗性,减少其对Cd的累积,保证农产品质量安全、维护土壤生态功能、防范环境和人体健康风险.通过两年四季的湖南省长沙县田间试验,探索叶面喷施S（以Na₂S计）在中轻度Cd污染稻田中的降镉、增产效果及其可推广性,进而设计水培试验,探究相关机制.结果表明:田间试验中,叶面喷施S可以将水稻产量提高6%~30%,水稻籽粒w（Cd）降低28%~50%.叶面喷施S能够增加水稻叶片的捕光能力和电子传递速率,与对照组相比,净光合速率提高2%~25%、气孔导度提高7%~25%、胞间CO₂浓度提高2%~10%、蒸腾速率提高1%~11%;实际光化学效率提升3%~21%,也可在一定程度上减缓光合系统结构和功能受到的损伤,同时提高光合作用碳同化的效率,提高水稻产量.傅里叶变换红外光谱图显示,叶面喷施S通过增强有机大分子类物质（如有机酸、多肽类等）的生成,可能直接与Cd发生螯合,区隔在细胞壁或者液泡上,降低Cd的侵害.研究显示,叶面喷施S在Cd胁迫水稻中积极参与生化过程的特定光合作用和蛋白质合成的调节,减轻了水稻Cd胁迫,可以尝试在同类型重金属污染农田土壤中推广.

南京市植物叶面颗粒物的黑碳含量及时空分布特征

黑碳是大气气溶胶的重要组成部分,能够吸收太阳辐射产生温室效应,并对人体健康产生负面影响。选取了南京市的6个典型功能区,研究不同污染水平和不同季节下植物叶面颗粒物黑碳含量的时空分布特征,并将其与地面尘和表层土壤中的黑碳含量进行比较,探讨黑碳在多介质中的分布规律。结果表明:(1)城市植物叶面颗粒物的黑碳含量呈现冬季秋季春季≈夏季的季节变化特征;(2)工业区植物叶面颗粒物的黑碳含量最高,并与其他功能区的差异达显著水平;(3)城市植物叶面颗粒物黑碳含量越高,BC/OC值也越大,城市植物叶面颗粒物的黑碳主要来源于化石燃料的燃烧;(4)黑碳气溶胶通过植被表层到达地表的过程中其含量逐渐下降,植物叶面颗粒物可作为监测大气黑碳污染的有效手段。     

Precision And Accuracy Of Pest And Pathogen Damage Assessment In Young Eucalypt Plantations

Fungal pathogens, browsing mammals, birds, insects, nutrient deficiencies, drought, frost and waterlogging are all damaging agents to plantation species. The subsequent loss in leaf tissue or reduced photosynthetic potential can reduce growth and potentially lead to tree death. The Crown Damage Index (CDI) was developed in Australia to quantify damage in young eucalypt plantations. The accuracy and precision of assessing damage at a tree level were determined to ensure the reliability, objectivity and repeatability of the CDI method. Nine assessors, with varying levels of experience, estimated damage on three plots of fifty trees each, to obtain an understanding of the subjectivity of assessing damage caused by insects (e.g. Chrysophtharta spp.) and fungal pathogens (e.g. Mycosphaerella spp.) on Eucalyptus globulus. Damage levels were measured by destructive sampling to enable direct comparisons between estimates and damage levels to be made. The most experienced assessors provided the most repeatable estimates and were generally the most accurate. The incidence of foliar necrosis was the least subjective measure while defoliation was the most subjective and the least accurate of the indices measured. All assessors, regardless of experience, were able to predict the Crown Damage Index (a combined index of all damage classes) to within 12% of measured damage levels.     

Operator dermal exposure and protection provided by personal protective equipment and working coveralls during mixing/loading,application and sprayer cleaning in vineyards

The efficiency of a working coverall combined with personal protective equipment to protect operators against dermal exposure to plant protection products under field conditions was studied. Operators wore a non-certified water-repellent finish polyester/cotton coverall plus a certified gown during the mixing/loading and the cleaning phases. Insecticide foliar application to a vineyard was selected as the exposure scenario. The overall dermal residue levels measured in this study were in the range of data recently collected in Europe. The water-repellent finish working coverall reduced body exposure by a factor of approximately 95%. Wearing a Category III Type 3 partial body gown during mixing/loading and cleaning of the application equipment led to a further protective effect of 98.7%. The combination of a water-repellent finish working coverall and partial body protection during specific tasks provided satisfactory levels of protection and can be considered as suitable protection for the conditions of use studied.
