干旱胁迫条件下AM真菌对蓝莓光合特性及矿质元素含量的影响

旨在进一步明确丛枝菌根(arbuscular mycorrhizal, AM)真菌摩西球囊霉(Glomus mosseae)提高蓝莓抗旱性的机制。采用盆栽实验研究了在中度干旱胁迫条件下AM真菌对南高丛蓝莓“奥尼尔”叶片光合特性及矿质元素含量的影响。结果表明：中度干旱显著降低了蓝莓菌根侵染率、净光合速率(Pn)、蒸腾速率(Tr)、气孔导度(Gs)、PSII 原初光能转化效率(Fv/Fm)以及叶片磷(P)、镁(Mg)及铁(Fe)含量；在中度干旱胁迫条件下，AM真菌接种显著提高了蓝莓叶片叶绿素和类胡萝卜素含量、Pn、Tr、Gs、胞间CO2浓度(Ci)、Fv/Fm 以及P、Mg和Fe 含量，而对钾(K)和锰(Mn)含量并无显著性影响。可见中度干旱胁迫主要通过降低PSII 光能转化效率等非气孔因素来抑制蓝莓的光合速率；但在中度干旱胁迫条件下，AM真菌则通过气孔因素和非气孔因素来提高蓝莓的光合效率，进而有利于提高其抗旱性。     

硒对低温胁迫下番茄幼苗叶片光合特性与叶绿素荧光参数的影响

以加工番茄‘里格尔87-5’幼苗为试材,对其外施0.3、0.6、0.9、1.2mgSe? kg-1Na2SeO3的溶液,并进行昼(12±1)℃/夜(8±1)℃的低温胁迫处理。研究硒对低温胁迫下加工番茄幼苗叶片光合作用及叶绿素荧光参数的影响。结果表明：随着低温胁迫时间的延长,番茄幼苗叶片净光合速率(Pn)、气孔导度(Gs)、蒸腾速率(Tr)和胞间CO2浓度(Ci)减小;叶片初始荧光(Fo)、非光化学荧光猝灭系数(qN)上升;最大荧光(Fm)、PSⅡ最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)、PSⅡ潜在活性(Fv/Fo)、光化学猝灭系数(qP)表现下降。不同浓度的硒溶液可以缓解低温胁迫对番茄幼苗光合作用和叶绿素荧光参数的影响,并且以0.9mgSe?kg-1Na2SeO3 的作用效果最好。     

大蒜根系水浸液处理对连作甜瓜光合及荧光特性的影响

摘 要：【研究目的】为更有效的缓解甜瓜连作障碍问题,对甜瓜与大蒜间互作效应的研究在理论和应用上都有重要的意义。【方法】以甜瓜品种“金蜜”为材料,盆栽于连作与非连作土壤中,用大蒜根系水浸液处理幼苗,处理后30天,测定叶绿素含量、气体交换和叶绿素荧光参数。【结果】连作使甜瓜叶片光合色素含量、净光合速率（Pn）、气孔导度（Gs）、胞间CO2浓度（Ci）、蒸腾速率（Tr）下降,使甜瓜叶片初始荧光强度（Fo）增加,PSⅡ最大光化学效率（Fv/Fm）、PSⅡ实际光化学效率（ΦPSⅡ）和光化学猝灭系数（qP）下降。大蒜根系水浸液处理连作与非连作甜瓜,均提高叶片光合色素含量、Pn、Gs、Ci、Tr、Fv/Fm、ΦPSⅡ和qP,降低Fo。【结论】甜瓜不适宜连作,大蒜根系水浸液能促进甜瓜生长,缓解甜瓜的连作障碍。     

外源2,4-表油菜素内酯对NaCl胁迫下燕麦幼苗光合特性的影响

为探明外源2,4-表油菜素内酯(EBR)对NaCl胁迫下燕麦光合作用的调控机理,以加燕2号、青引2号燕麦为材料,在100 mmol/L NaCl胁迫下,研究外源EBR对燕麦幼苗光合气体交换参数、荧光动力学参数、光合电子传递速率及PSⅡ光能分配情况的影响。结果表明:NaCl胁迫显著降低了燕麦幼苗的光合色素含量,抑制了PSⅡ反应中心活性,导致燕麦幼苗PSⅡ光化学效率下降,净光合速率(Pn)显著降低。和NaCl胁迫相比较,添加外源EBR后,燕麦幼苗叶片的叶绿素a(Chla)、叶绿素b(Chlb)和类胡萝卜素(Chlx·c)含量显著增加;燕麦幼苗的Pn、蒸腾速率(Tr)、气孔导度(Gs)和水分利用效率(WUE)显著升高,胞间CO_2浓度(Ci)显著降低,最大荧光(Fm)、光化学淬灭系数(qP)、PSⅡ实际光合效率(ФPSⅡ)、PSⅡ潜在活性(Fv/Fo)、PSⅡ原初光能转化效率(Fv/Fm)、天线色素转化效率(Fv′/Fm′)、表观光合电子传递速率(ETR)及PSⅡ光化学反应能(P)显著升高,初始荧光(Fo)、非光化学淬灭系数(NPQ)及反应中心耗散能(E)、天线耗散能(D)显著降低。综上所述,外源EBR能够显著提高NaCl胁迫下燕麦幼苗PSⅡ反应中心的实际光化学效率,有效缓解NaCl胁迫对燕麦幼苗所产生的光抑制和PSⅡ反应中心损伤程度,提高燕麦幼苗的碳同化效率和光合能力,说明外源BRs对盐胁迫下燕麦光合作用起到正向调控作用,能够有效缓解盐胁迫对燕麦幼苗所造成的伤害。     

DCPTA对低温胁迫下玉米幼苗叶片叶绿素含量及其荧光特性的影响

以郑单958为盆栽试验材料,设置3个昼夜温度梯度(18℃/9℃、16℃/7℃、14℃/5℃),研究喷施不同浓度DCPTA对玉米幼苗叶片的叶绿素含量以及叶绿素荧光特性的调控机制。结果表明,低温胁迫下喷施DCPTA玉米幼苗的叶绿素含量比对照(清水处理)高23.62%~144.55%;玉米叶片Fo(初始荧光)比对照低4.55%~39.53%,Fv/Fo(PSⅡ潜在活性)、Fv/Fm(PSⅡ最大光化学效率)、qN(非光化学猝灭系数)分别比对照高出30.26%~112.39%、7.47%~32.96%、5.98%~57.52%;浓度为50mg/L的DCPTA喷施玉米幼苗叶片后,对低温胁迫下玉米叶片光合系统的保护效果最好,这有利于提高玉米幼苗叶片的抗冷性。     

外源激素对低温胁迫下脱毒马铃薯扦插苗早衰的影响

设置不同浓度的6-BA和GA3处理低温胁迫下脱毒马铃薯扦插苗叶片,研究两种激素对其生理指标、光合性能及叶绿素荧光参数的影响。结果表明,0.1mg/L 6-BA处理低温胁迫的脱毒马铃薯扦插苗后可促进叶片生长,提高叶片叶绿素和淀粉含量,降低叶片可溶性糖和丙二醛(MDA)含量,而且净光合速率(Pn)、最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)、光化学猝灭系数(qP)和PSⅡ实际光量子效率(ΦPSⅡ)显著提高,非光化学猝灭系数(NPQ)和胞间CO2浓度(Ci)显著降低;2个浓度的GA3处理显著降低低温胁迫扦插苗叶绿素含量、叶片淀粉含量和MDA含量,Pn、qP和ΦPSⅡ显著提高,NPQ和Ci显著降低。当GA3浓度提高到20mg/L后导致叶面积减小;当6-BA处理浓度提高至0.5mg/L后出现了显著的副作用,叶片淀粉含量升高,Gs、蒸腾速率(Tr)、Pn、Fv/Fm、qP和ΦPSⅡ都显著下降,NPQ和Ci显著升高,表现出明显的叶片老化症状。从隶属函数来看,0.1mg/L的6-BA对提高扦插苗抗寒性效果最佳。     

低温胁迫对油棕幼苗光合作用及叶绿素荧光特性的影响

在30 μmol/(m2.s)的弱光条件下,以25℃、10℃、7℃、4℃、1℃各处理油棕幼苗3天,测定了油棕幼苗叶片光合参数及叶绿素荧光参数的变化。结果表明：温度由 25℃降至4℃,净光合速率（Pn）显著下降的同时,气孔导度(Gs)、蒸腾速率(Tr)、胞间CO2浓度（Ci）也显著下降,但气孔限制值(Ls)和水分利用效率(WUE)却显著增加,说明光合作用的下降主要由气孔因素引起;之后随温度下降至1 ℃,净光合速率、气孔导度、蒸腾速率、水分利用效率、气孔限制值均出现显著下降,但胞间CO2浓度却显著上升,说明光合作用的下降主要由非气孔因素引起。叶绿素荧光参数显示,随温度下降,初始荧光(Fo)不断上升,PSⅡ最大光化学效率（Fv/Fm）、光化学猝灭系数(qP)、非光化学猝灭系数（qN）不断下降,其中以4 ℃以下的低温胁迫,这些参数的变化最为显著。表明严重低温对油棕幼苗产生了显著的光抑制,过剩的激发能不能通过热耗散途径散失,大量积累于PSⅡ反应中心,使光合机构遭受了较大程度的破坏,最终导致油棕幼苗光合能力的急剧降低。     

不同秸秆还田方式下玉米叶片光合、荧光特性及水分利用率的比较

为进一步明确秸秆覆盖和深埋两种还田方式下对玉米功能叶片光合特性、荧光特性及水分利用率的影响,以春玉米为材料,对照为不施秸秆普通田块(CK),研究两种秸秆还田方式对玉米叶片胞间CO2浓度(Ci)、蒸腾速率(Tr)、净光合速率(Pn)、气孔导度(Gs)、玉米叶片光合作用关键酶活性、玉米叶片碳代谢关键酶活性以及水分利用率的影响。结果表明,在玉米花后的秸0~50 d,深埋秸秆的处理条件下,穗叶位平均Tr和Gs、Pn、q P和Fv/Fm均高于表层秸秆覆盖,差异显著,且水分利用率显著提高。     

低温对寒富苹果及其亲本叶绿素荧光特性的影响

以寒富苹果及其亲本品种东光、富士为试验材料,通过人工低温处理,对其叶片的几种叶绿素荧光指标以及净光合速率进行了测定。结果表明:随着温度降低,3个品种的初始荧光Fo呈下降趋势,-4℃时急剧上升。可变荧光Fv、最大光化学量子产量(Fv/Fm)及Fv/Fo整体均呈下降趋势。-4℃时各个指标均大幅下降,光合速率Pn明显下降。-4℃低温处理时,Fv,Fv/Fm,Fv/Fo的值东光>寒富>富士,Fo则出现相反的结果,Pn值东光>寒富>富士。处理结束放于24℃下12 h后-4℃处理未恢复到处理前水平,表明-4℃低温对叶片的光合系统造成了严重破坏。     

玉米叶片光合生理与抗旱性关系研究

在水分胁迫条件下,对玉米叶片净光舍速率、叶绿素含量及叶绿素荧光参数的变化进行了研究.结果表明:玉米叶片净光合速率(Pn)、叶绿素a(Chl a)、叶绿素b(Chl b)、总叶绿素含量(Chl)、叶绿素a/b比值(Chl a/b)、最大荧光(Fm)和PsⅡ光化学效率(Fv/Fm)比对照均有所下降,基础荧光(Fo)增加;Pn和Ctd a/b比值占对照百分率与品种抗旱性呈极显著正相关(r=0.8807**,P<0.01;r=0.8804**,P<0.01),Fo占对照百分率与品种抗旱性则呈显著负相关(r=-0.764 0*,P<0.05),Fm和Fv/Fm占对照百分率与品种抗旱性则呈显著正相关(r=0.711 6*,P<0.05;r=0.772 3*,P<0.05).因此,净光合速率、叶绿素a/b比值、Fo、Fin和Fv/,m可以用来评定不同玉米品种的抗旱性.     

Location of a high-lysine gene and the DDT-resistance gene on barley chromosome 7

Summary The high-lysine gene in Risø mutant 1508 conditions an increased lysine content in the endosperm via a changed protein composition, a decreased seed size, and several other characters of the seed. The designation lys3a, lys3b, and lys3c, is proposed for the allelic high-lysine genes in three Risø mutants, nos 1508, 18, and 19. Linkage studies with translocations locate the lys3 locus in the centromere region of chromosome 7. A linkage study involving the loci lys3 and ddt (resistance to DDT) together with the marker loci fs (fragile stem), s (short rachilla hairs), and r (smooth awn) show that the order of the five loci on chromosome 7 from the long to the short chromosome arm is r, s, fs, lys3, ddt. The distance from locus r to locus ddt is about 100 centimorgans.

Avoidance of leaf rust fungi in wild relatives of cultivated cereals

Summary Avoidance of rust fungi that was based on poor appressorium induction was previously found in Hordeum chilense. In the present study 95 accessions of Triticeae were screened for avoidance of Puccinia hordei. The percentage of appressorium formation per germinated spore ranged from 6 to 90%. On none of the 41 accessions of Aegilops, Agropyron, Elymus, Secale, Thinopyrum or Triticum studied was the rate of appressorium formation lower than 25%. Lower rates of appressorium formation were, however, found on accessions of wild barley species Hordeum brachyantherum, H. marinum, H. parodii and H. secalinum. Its implications in cereal breeding are discussed.     

Pollen and pollination experiments. III. The viability of apple and pear pollen as affected by irradiation and storage

Summary Apple and pear pollen was irradiated with doses of 0, 50, 100, 250 and 500 krad (gamma rays) and stored at 4°C and 0–10% r.h. From the in-vitro germination percentages an average LD 50 dose of about 220 krad was estimated. For both irradiated and untreated pollen a close and corresponding lineair relationship existed between germination percentage and pollen tube growth.Irradiated pollen was much more sensitive to dry storage conditions than untreated pollen, resulting in less germination and more bursting. Apparently, irradiation caused the pollen cell membrane to lose its flexibility faster than normal. Rehydration of dry-stored, irradiated pollen in water-saturated air restored germination percentages up to their initial levels. The importance of this procedure in germination trials is stressed.     

Mechanisms and diversity of resistance to sorghum shoot fly,Atherigona soccata

Sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata, is one of the important pests of postrainy season sorghums. Of the 90 sorghum genotypes evaluated for resistance to this pest, RHRB 12, ICSV 713, 25026, 93046 and 25027, IS 33844‐5, Giddi Maldandi and RVRT 3 exhibited resistance in postrainy season, while ICSB 463, Phule Anuradha, RHRB 19, Parbhani Moti, ICSV 705, PS 35805, IS 5480, 5622, 17726, 18368 and 34722, RVRT 1, ICSR 93031 and Dagidi Solapur showed resistance in rainy season, suggesting season‐specific expression of resistance to A. soccata. ICSB 461, ICSB 463, Phule Yasodha, M 35‐1, ICSV 700, 711, 25010, 25019 and 93089, IS 18662, Phule Vasudha, IS 18551 and 33844‐5 and Barsizoot had fewer deadhearts than plants with eggs across seasons, suggesting antibiosis as one of the resistance mechanism. Five genotypes exhibited resistance with high grain yield across seasons. Correlation, path and stepwise regression analyses indicated that leaf glossiness, seedling vigour, trichome density, oviposition and leaf sheath pigmentation were associated with the expression of resistance/susceptibility to shoot fly, and these can be used as marker traits to select and develop shoot fly‐resistant sorghums.     

Reaction of tritordeum to Fusarium culmorum and Septoria nodorum

Summary Hordeum chilense is a wild barley extensively used in wide crosses in the Triticeae. It could be a valuable source of resistance to Fusarium culmorum and Septoria nodorum. Some H. chilense x Triticum spp. amphiploids, named tritordeums, were more resistant than the parental wheat line to these diseases, others were not. Average contents of ergosterol and deoxynivalenol (DON) suggested that resistance to colonization by Fusarium was the highest for Hordeum chilense, followed by tritordeum and wheat in decreasing order. In particular, the H. chilense genotypes H7 and H17 enhanced the wheat resistance to F. culmorum in its tritordeum offsprings. Resistance to S. nodorum in tritordeum was not associated with tall plant height. There is sufficient genetic variation for resistance to F. culmorum and S. nodorum among tritordeum to allow the breeding of lines combining short straw and resistance to both diseases.     

Disease resistance in protected crops and mushrooms

Summary Cultivars of tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce and peppers have been bred for resistance to one or more pathogens. Some tomato and cucumber cultivars have resistance to a wide range of diseases. Resistance has been transient in many cases and a succession of cultivars with new genes or new combinations of resistance genes has been necessary to maintain control. There has been a number of notable exceptions and these have included durable resistance to such pathogens asFulvia fulva and tomato mosaic virus. With lettuce the resistance situation is complicated by the occurrence of fungicide resistant pathotypes. There are no strains ofAgaricus bisporus purposely bred for disease resistance.In protected flower crops only resistance to Fusarium wilt in carnations has been purposely bred but differences in disease resistance are apparent in cultivars of many ornamental crops. This is particularly so in chrysanthemums where there are cultivars with resistance to many of the major pathogens. Similar situations occur with other flower crops and pot plants. Cultivars of some species have not been systematically investigated for resistance.The need for genetic resistance will increase with the further reduction, in the limits on pesticide use and an increasing public awareness and importance of pesticide pollution.ADAS is an executive agency of the Ministry of Agiculture, Fisheries and Food and the Welsh Office.     

Relation between wheat-rye crossability and seed set of common wheat after pollination with other species in the Hordeae

Summary Cultivars of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) of high wheat-rye (Secale cereale L.) crossability set more seed with pollen of other related species than did wheats of low wheat-rye crossability. This was found to be true for pollen parents from the genera Triticum, Aegilops, Secale, Agropyron and Elymus.     

Evolution under domestication involving disturbance of genic balance

Summary An hypothesis is developed that the rapid change from wild plants into domesticated crops principally involves the selection of alleles with non-functional gene products which leads to reduced control of the highly integrated metabolism and morphogenesis previously accumulated by lengthy natural selection. Such disturbance of the genome produces altered physiological and morphological development which, although deleterious in nature, serves mankind better and has been selected.
