根系氧化力不同的水稻品种磷锌营养状况的研究

采用琼脂培养和土壤培养试验研究了根系氧化能力不同的水稻品种磷、锌的营养状况。 结果表明, 在选用的 5 个水稻品种中, 根系氧化力较高的品种 LR-2、TZ88-145 和 YY-1, 其根表铁膜数量明显高于根系氧化力较弱的品 种KZ89-113 和KZ89-112。 根系氧化能力高, 根表形成的铁膜数量多, 富集的磷、锌数量也多, 反之则少。 这就构成 了“ 根系氧化力不同的水稻品种—根表形成的铁氧化物胶膜数量不同—富集在铁膜上的磷、锌数量不同—水稻的 磷、锌营养状况不同” 的连锁关系。     

根表铁氧化物和缺铁根分泌物对水稻吸收镉的影响

在人工光照植物培养室中采用营养液培养方法,研究了不同镉浓度条件下,水稻根表沉积的铁氧化物及缺铁根分泌物对水稻吸收镉的影响。结果表明：（１）水稻根只的铁氧化物对其生长介质的镉有富集作用,并在一定程度上能促进水稻对镉的吸收。水稻生长的铁营养状况不同,则地上部镉含量不同,地上部镉含量达到最大峰值时根表铁氧化物的数量也不同。（２）当根表铁氧化物数量一定时,随着营养液中镉浓度的增大（镉的处理浓度为０、０．０     

缺磷对不同作物根系形态及体内养分含量浓度的影响

采用营养液培养方法,以水稻、 小麦、 玉米和大豆为试验材料,研究了短期缺磷（2周）诱导根表沉积铁氧化物是否为水稻特有的性质,以及缺磷对不同作物根系形态及其吸收钾、 钙、 铁、 锰、 铜、 锌营养元素的影响。结果表明,供磷和缺磷处理并没有影响小麦、 玉米和大豆3种作物根系的颜色,而缺磷处理水稻根表沉积了铁氧化物而呈红（黄）棕色,且铁氧化物不均匀地富集在根细胞壁的孔隙中; 缺磷促进了水稻,小麦,玉米和大豆根系的生长,分别比供磷处理伸长了11%、 11%、 20%和11%（P0.05）。此外,缺磷胁迫下水稻根表铁氧化物增强了钙、 铁、 锰、 铜和锌在根表的富集而成为其进入根系的缓冲层。缺磷处理水稻根中铁浓度明显高于供磷处理（P0.05）,而地上部铁的浓度仅为磷营养正常水稻植株的18%,这说明缺磷诱导的铁氧化物促进了根系对铁的吸收但抑制了铁由根系向地上部的转运。短期缺磷对其他养分在水稻根中和地上部的浓度没有明显影响。对于其他 3 种作物,短期缺磷没有明显影响钾、 钙、 铁、 锰、 铜和锌在其根表富集及在植物体内的浓度。因此,在供试的4 种作物中,由于磷胁迫诱导根表形成铁氧化物是水稻特有的性质,铁氧化物的沉积可促进铁的吸收但抑制了铁向地上部的转运,而短期缺磷并没有影响其他3种作物对钾、 钙、 铁、 锰、 铜和锌养分的吸收和转运。     

硅铁施用对水稻生长及磷吸收的影响

为探讨硅铁施用对水稻生长和磷吸收的影响,指导合理施肥、提高磷素利用率,利用水培试验研究了不同浓度铁(0、0.5、1、2 mmol·L~(-1))预处理下施加不同浓度硅(0、1、4 mmol·L~(-1))对水稻生长及磷吸收的影响。结果表明,低浓度的铁预处理对水稻SPAD、株高、根长和地上部干质量无显著影响,而高浓度的铁预处理下,这些指标则显著降低(P0.05)。中低浓度铁处理下施硅在一定程度上增加了水稻株高、根长和地上部干质量,但未达到显著水平(P0.05)。铁预处理显著增加了水稻根表铁膜的厚度及根表铁膜中的磷含量(P0.05),施硅则显著降低了0.5 mmol·L~(-1)和1 mmol·L~(-1)铁预处理的水稻根表铁膜的厚度(P0.05)。铁预处理对水稻根部的磷含量无显著影响,但显著降低了地上部磷的含量(P0.05)。施硅对水稻根和地上部的磷含量无显著影响。研究表明,施铁处理显著诱导了根表铁膜的出现,增加了铁膜中的磷含量并且显著降低了地上部的磷含量;施硅在一定程度上缓解了水稻生长中的铁毒害现象,并且能够改变根表铁膜厚度,减少根冠比,从而影响水稻磷的吸收转运。     

不同铁形态对水稻根表铁膜及铁吸收的影响

通过溶液培养试验研究了FeCl2?4H2O和FeCl3?6H2O对水稻根表铁膜数量及铁吸收的影响。结果表明,FeCl2处理时水稻根表铁膜浓度是FeCl3处理的197%～233%。利用EDTA-BPDS对铁膜形态分析看出,根表铁膜中Fe3+占85%～92%,Fe2+占8%～15%。水稻天优998根表铁膜数量显著高于培杂泰丰,其铁吸收是培杂泰丰的115%～138%。两种铁形态处理明显提高水稻的根系活力,其中,FeCl2处理时水稻根系活力增加24%～69%,FeCl3为16%～54%。FeCl2处理时水稻根系SOD、POD和CAT活性分别增加11%～32%、15%～30%和30%～31%,但FeCl3处理没有明显影响。上述结果表明一定浓度铁处理明显增加水稻根表铁浓度和铁吸收;与FeCl3处理相比,FeCl2处理能提高根系抗氧化酶活性,增加水稻的铁吸收和根表铁膜数量。     

铁膜对水稻根表面电化学性质和氮磷钾短期吸收的影响

通过水培试验研究了水稻根表铁膜对根表电化学性质、根表对NH4+、K+和磷酸根吸附和吸收的影响。结果表明,铁膜降低根表阳离子交换量,使根表zeta电位绝对值减小,说明根表负电荷数量减少。与对照相比,铁膜抑制了水稻根表对NH4+和K+的吸附,但促进了其对磷酸根的吸附。6 h培养实验结果表明,铁膜使水稻对NH4+、K+、H2PO4-的吸收速率分别降低了21.1%、42.7%、59.1%。因此,作为物理、化学屏障或者临时储存库,铁膜抑制了水稻对大量营养元素的短期吸收。     

水分状况和铁,锰肥对水稻根表铁,锰氧化物胶膜厚度的影响

采用４００目尼龙娟网制作的网袋进行土－砂联合培养的盆栽试验,研究了不同水分处理和铁、锰肥用量对水稻根表铁、锰氧化物胶膜厚度及水稻铁、锰营养的影响,结果表明,水分状况是影响水稻根表铁、锰胶膜厚度的重要因素,长期淹水条件下水稻根表形成的铁、锰胶膜较厚,而干－湿交替和湿润处理形成的铁、锰胶胶较薄;施用铁、锰肥力明显增加根表铁、锰胶膜厚度。试验还表明水稻根表铁、锰胶膜以铁胶膜为主,即使在含锰丰富土壤上施用     

磷饥饿诱导水稻根表铁膜形成机理初探

采用溶液培养的方法,初步探索了磷饥饿诱导水稻根表铁膜形成的机理。磷饥饿24h后水稻的根表出现了明显的红棕色物质的沉积,扫描电镜的能谱分析结果显示,红棕色物质是铁的氧化物。针对这一现象,首先研究了没有水稻生长的正常磷营养液和缺磷营养液的变化,结果表明二者之间全波长的扫描图谱没有出现差异。采用酸碱混合指示剂的琼脂染色方法,观察了水稻根系表面及根际pH值的变化情况,并分别测定了正常磷营养（P）和缺磷（P0）2种条件下水稻的根系活力。结果看出,缺磷时水稻根系活力高于磷营养正常的处理,尤其是基因型Jin23A,其P和P0处理间根系活力差异极显著。水稻根表三价铁的浓度高于二价铁,并且缺磷根系表面三价铁和二价铁浓度均明显高于供磷处理;缺磷处理水稻根质外体沉积的铁浓度也明显高于供磷处理。因此,初步确定磷饥饿诱导水稻根表铁膜形成是生物学基础上的化学反应过程。     

水稻不同生育期对硒吸收累积及铁膜的吸附特性

采用盆栽试验方法,研究不同生育期水稻各部位对硒的吸收累积及根表铁膜对水稻吸收积累硒的影响机制。结果表明:水稻营养器官生物量在拔节期积累最快,不同时期营养器官中硒含量不同,根中的硒在拔节期达到最大,根和茎中的硒在灌浆期和成熟期被转运至其他部位。水稻各组织中约50%的硒在拔节期和孕穗期被吸收,小穗吸收总硒的47.22%且是在孕穗期完成的,说明这两个时期对于水稻硒吸收累积非常关键。铁膜中硒占总硒的比例在幼苗期高达73.63%,是同时期茎中硒所占比例的4.87倍。随着生育期的推进,铁膜中硒所占比例显著递减,在成熟期降低至20.02%,同时期茎中硒占总硒的比例为65.42%。这表明,根表铁膜在水稻整个生长周期内通过吸附作用使其表面能够富集一定量的硒,在水稻生育后期,当土壤溶液中硒含量较少时,根表铁膜可能会作为一个硒源,吸附在根表铁膜中的硒重新被水稻所利用,铁膜在水稻硒吸收转运的过程中扮演了"缓冲器"的角色。明确不同生育期根表铁膜对水稻硒累积特性,在生产管理中可在不同生育期采取措施提高稻田硒生物有效性,从而为进一步提高农产品中硒含量提供科学依据。     

中轻度砷污染土壤-水稻体系中砷迁移行为研究

通过土-砂根袋培养生物学模拟试验,运用砷形态分级的连续提取方法研究了水稻整个生育时期内砷在中轻度砷污染土壤-氧化性根际-水稻体系中的时空分布规律。结果表明:(1)该品种水稻(远诱一号)生长旺期(第三生长时期和第四生长时期)由于根系活化作用产生明显根际效应,根际土壤中各砷形态总量、无定形态砷含量均显著高于非根际土(p0.05),而有效性最低的残渣态则低于非根际土。(2)水稻根表铁氧化物膜(简称:铁膜)主要以无定型态铁和结晶态铁为主(90%),在生长旺盛期老化程度最高,且对砷富集能力与第一时期相比降低60%,与第二时期相比降低10%;根表铁膜对砷的富集作用并不完全随铁膜数量的增减而变化,还与铁膜中铁的组成形态(尤其无定形态铁)密切相关。(3)砷在土壤-根际-水稻(远诱一号)体系中迁移规律:砷随铁氧化物的还原由非根际向根际迁移并在氧化性根际富集,由于铁膜的缓冲层作用,砷很少进入作物根系,迁移至地上部的砷含量低于根中砷含量;生育初期(前两个生长时期),水稻根表铁膜主要起富集库作用,具有很强的富集砷能力,但富集的砷易解吸进入作物根系,生育后期(后三个生长时期),铁膜逐渐老化,主要起缓冲层作用,使根系砷含量与生育初期相比降低50%～90%。     

缺铁水稻根表铁膜对硒的转运和吸收的影响

Under anaerobic conditions, ferric hydroxide deposits on the surface of rice roots and affects uptake and translocation of certain nutrients. In the present study, rice plants were cultured in Fe-deficient or sufficient solutions and placed in a medium containing selenium （Se） for 2 h. Then, FeSO4 was added at the various concentrations of 0, 10, 40, or 70 mg L-1 to induce varying levels of iron plaque on the root surfaces and subsequent uptake of Se was monitored. The uptake of Se was inhibited by the iron plaque, with the effect proportional to the amount of plaque induced. The activity of cysteine synthase was decreased with increasing amounts of iron plaque on the roots. This may be the important reason for iron plaque inhibition of Se translocation. At each level of iron plaque, Fe-deficient rice had more Se than Fe-sufficient rice. Furthermore, with plaque induced by 20 mg Fe L-1, plants from Fe-deficient media accumulated more Se than those from Fe-sufficient media, as the Se concentration was increased from 10 to 30 or 50 mg L^-1. We found that phytosiderophores, highly effective iron chelating agents, could desorb selenite from ferrihydrite. Root exudates of the Fe-deficient rice, especially phytosiderophores in the exudates, could enhance Se uptake by rice plants with iron plaque.     

硒(Ⅳ)预处理下根表铁膜对水稻幼苗吸收和转运汞的影响

采用水培试验的方法研究硒(Se,Ⅳ)预处理下,根表铁膜对水稻幼苗吸收和转运汞(Hg)的影响。将水稻幼苗置于Se0和Se0.5(mg L-1)培养液中培养2周,再用4种不同浓度的Fe2+溶液(0、25、50和100 mg L-1即Fe0、Fe25、Fe50、Fe100)诱导水稻根表形成不同数量的铁膜,随后置于0.3 mg L-1的Hg Cl2培养液中继续培养72 h。结果表明,根表铁膜对水稻幼苗生长无显著影响,但硒可以增加其生物量。碳酸氢钠―柠檬酸三钠―连二亚硫酸钠(DCB)提取液(即根表铁膜)中含铁比例(57.3%~96.2%)显著高于水稻幼苗地上部(1.1%~17.5%)和根部(2.7%~25.9%),水稻幼苗的大部分铁被积累至DCB提取液中。随着根表铁膜数量的增加,根和地上部汞含量均显著降低。在Fe50和Fe100处理中,硒的加入显著减少了地上部和根部的汞含量,也显著降低了汞的分配系数,Se(Ⅳ)预处理能明显提高铁膜固持汞的量。综上所述,Se(Ⅳ)预处理和根表铁膜均能阻碍水稻幼苗对汞的吸收和向地上部的转运,减轻水稻汞胁迫,从而起到保护水稻避免汞毒害的作用。本研究对于提高汞污染区稻米质量和保证粮食安全具有一定的现实意义。     

硅缓解水稻根系铁毒害

Silicon (Si) can enhance the resistance of plants to many abiotic stresses. To explore whether Si ameliorates Fe2+ toxicity, a hydroponic experiment was performed to investigate whether and how Si detoxifies Fe2+ toxicity in rice (Oryza sativa L.) roots. Results indicated that rice cultivar Tianyou 998 (TY998) showed greater sensitivity to Fe2+ toxicity than rice cultivar Peizataifeng (PZTF). Treatment with 0.1 mmol L-1 Fe2+ inhibited TY998 root elongation and root biomass significantly. Reddish iron plaque was formed on root surface of both cultivars. TY998 had a higher amount of iron plaque than PZTF. Addition of Si to the solution of Fe treatment decreased the amount of iron plaque on root surface by 17.6% to 37.1% and iron uptake in rice roots by 37.0% to 40.3%, and subsequently restored root elongation triggered by Fe2+ toxicity by 13.5% in the TY998. Compared with Fe treatment, the addition of 1 mmol L-1 Si to the solution of Fe treatment increased xylem sap flow by 19.3% to 24.8% and root-shoot Fe transportation by 45.0% to 78.6%. Furthermore, Si addition to the solution of Fe treatment induced root cell wall to thicken. These results suggested that Si could detoxify Fe2+ toxicity and Si-mediated amelioration of Fe2+ toxicity in rice roots was associated with less iron plaque on root surface and more Fe transportation from roots to shoots.     

Photocatalytic Decolorization of Commercial Acid Dyes using Solar Irradiation

Four wetland plants were selected to study the effect of Fe plaque formation on phosphorus (P) accumulation in the rhizosphere and P uptake. There were significant positive correlations between the sorbed Fe content in the rhizosphere and the Fe plaque concentration (r ²?=?0.8454, p?<?0.01) and between P accumulation and the amount of the sorbed Fe in the rhizosphere (r ²?=?0.8460, p?<?0.01). The concentration of the Fe plaque on the root surface of four wetland plants species tested followed the order of Zizania cedu Ciflora Turez > Scirpus tabernaemontani Gmel > Iris pseudacorus Linn > Canna indica Linn. The Fe plaque formation increased P uptake, apparently through enhancing the diffusion of P into the roots of the wetland plants; this resulted in increased P concentration in shoots. However, this effect decreased in the higher Fe plaque concentration status, apparently due to physical blocking and immobilization of P by Fe plaque. Therefore, adequate surface coverage of roots of wetland plant by the Fe plaque would increase the uptake of P by wetland plants, which depend on the optimum amendment of Fe. These effects also varied with wetland plant species.     

Uptake and Accumulation Characteristics of Arsenic and Iron Plaque in Rice at Different Growth Stages

Arsenic (As) uptake by rice plants and its toxicity to human beings have caused worldwide concerns. Investigating the characteristics of As accumulation in rice in relation to root surface iron plaque during the whole growth of rice would provide important information for devising measures to mitigate rice As uptake in As-polluted areas. Uptake and accumulation characteristics of As in rice at different growth stages as well as iron plaque on rice root surfaces were investigated in a pot culture experiment in a greenhouse. The results showed that As concentrations in roots, stems, and leaves increased with rice growth, while As concentration in spikelets decreased with grain development: 53.63% of As content in leaves, 61.51% in spikelets, and 82.09% in stems were found at both the jointing and booting stages, which suggested that the two stages were the key stages of As uptake. Root surface iron plaque at different growth stages was extracted by DCB (dithionite-citrate-bicarbonate). DCB-extractable iron (Fe) and DCB-extractable As were significantly increased with rice growth (P < 0.001), and there was a significant positive correlation between DCB-extractable Fe and As (P < 0.001), indicating that iron plaque was very important to sequester As on rice root surfaces.     

Underlying dynamics and effects of humic acid on selenium and cadmium uptake in rice seedlings

Purpose

Natural organic acids, such as humic acid (HA), play crucial roles in biogeochemistry of anions and cations in soil due to their numerous functional groups on their surfaces. Selenium (Se) and cadmium (Cd) could bind strongly to HA; nevertheless, it is still unclear as to the effects of HA on Se and Cd uptake in rice which will be focused on in this paper.

Materials and methods

Pot experiments were carried out at Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. Agricultural soils were treated with different concentrations of HA (0, 4, and 8 g kg^?1 soil) and Se (Se^IV or Se^VI) (0 and 2 mg kg^?1 soil) as well as with base fertilizer 3 days prior to planting. For Cd treatment, experimental soils were treated with Cd (0 and 2 mg kg^?1 soil) 1 month before sowing. For element determination, root (after DCB extraction) and shoot samples were digested with a mixed solution of HNO₃-HClO₄, and the Se and Cd in digest solution were measured by HG-AFS and ICP-MS, respectively. Fe, Se, and Cd in iron plaque were extracted by DCB extraction and measured by AAS, HG-AFS, and ICP-MS, respectively.

Results and discussion

HA reduced Se (or Cd)-induced growth stimulation and Se and Cd uptake in rice seedlings, whereas iron plaque formation varied little with different treatments. HA inhibited Se^IV (or Se^VI) uptake in rice seedlings by reducing Se translocations from soil to iron plaque (or by increasing Se adsorption capacity of iron plaque and decreasing Se transport from iron plaque to root). HA reduced Cd uptake in rice seedlings by reducing Cd transport from soil to iron plaque and from iron plaque to root. Compared with single addition of Se^IV or Se^VI or HA, adding HA combined with Se^IV or Se^VI could further reduce Cd uptake in rice seedlings, whereas Se contents of aerial tissues did not change obviously.

Conclusions

HA inhibited the accumulation of Se (Se^IV or Se^VI) and Cd in rice seedlings; nevertheless, the mechanism was different. Compared with adding Se (or HA) alone, application of Se mixed with HA might be a more effective way to produce Se-enriched and Cd-deficient crop in Cd-contaminated soil.

     

Root Growth,Nutrient Uptake,and Nutrient-Use Efficiency by Roots of Tropical Legume Cover Crops as Influenced by Phosphorus Fertilization

Roots are important organs that supply water and nutrients to growing plants. Data related to root growth and nutrient uptake by tropical legume cover crops are limited. The objective of this study was to evaluate root growth of tropical legume cover crops and nutrient uptake and use efficiency under different phosphorus (P) levels. The P levels used were 0 (low), 100 (medium), and 200 (high) mg kg^?1 of soil, and five cover crops were evaluated. Root dry weight, maximum root length, and specific root length were significantly influenced by P and cover crop treatments. Maximum values of these root growth parameters were achieved with the addition of 100 mg P kg^?1 soil. The P?×?cover crops interactions for all the macro- and micronutrients, except manganese (Mn), were significant, indicating variation in uptake pattern of these nutrients by cover crops with the variation in P rates. Overall, uptake pattern of macronutrients was in the order of nitrogen (N) > calcium (Ca) > potassium (K) > magnesium (Mg) > P and micronutrient uptake pattern was in the order of iron (Fe) > Mn > zinc (Zn) > copper (Cu). Cover crops which produced maximum root dry weight also accumulated greater amount of nutrients, including N, compared to cover crops, which produced lower root dry weight. Greater uptake of N compared to other nutrients by cover crops indicated that use of cover crops in the cropping systems could reduce loss of nitrate (NO₃ ^?) from soil–plant systems. Increase in root length and root dry weight with the addition of P can improve nutrient uptake from the soil and lessen loss of macro- and micronutrients from the soil–plant systems.
