NaCl胁迫对草木樨种子萌发及幼苗生长的影响

采用室内种子萌发及温室幼苗培养实验方法,研究不同浓度NaCl胁迫对耐盐植物草木樨种子萌发及幼苗生长的影响,结果表明：低浓度的NaCl胁迫可以提高种子的萌发率、累积发芽率、发芽势,增加幼苗地上部分的鲜干比、叶绿素含量,并促进幼苗根和芽的生长,而高浓度的NaCl胁迫则对其有显著的抑制作用;不同浓度的NaCl胁迫对草木樨种子的发芽指数均有一定的抑制作用,而对幼苗叶片的丙二醛含量却有一定的促进作用。因此得出：低浓度的NaCl胁迫对草木樨种子萌发及幼苗生长具有一定的促进作用,而高浓度的NaCl胁迫则对其有一定的抑制作用。     

影响丰花草种子萌发和幼苗生长的主要环境因子

运用培养皿滤纸法和盆栽法,分别研究温度、光照和水分条件对热带常见杂草丰花草种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响。结果表明:丰花草种子萌发温度范围广泛(5~40℃),随温度升高,丰花草幼苗的鲜质量和生长长度均呈现先升高后降低的趋势;恒温下30℃为其种子萌发的最适温度,其发芽率、发芽指数、活力指数均相对较高,而平均发芽时间最短;25℃时生长的幼苗最健壮,其芽长、根长和芽鲜质量、根鲜质量均显著高于其他温度时的对应值。而变温条件更有利于丰花草种子萌发,12 h D/12 h L、5℃/15℃时发芽率达55.63%,15℃/25℃时发芽率90%,25℃/35℃时的种子萌发率、幼苗长度、幼苗鲜质量均最大。光照不是影响丰花草种子萌发的关键因子,但光照可能有利于促进丰花草幼苗生物量向根部分配,光暗交替(12 h D/12 h L)条件下丰花草幼苗生长情况相对最好(长度根冠比为1.05∶1;鲜质量根冠比为0.51∶1)。水分是决定丰花草种子能否萌发的关键因素,25℃、12 h D/12 h L条件下,在土壤最大持水量60%时丰花草种子萌发和幼苗生长状况均最佳。     

保水剂包衣对柠条种子萌发及幼苗生长的影响

使用5种保水剂（A、B、C、D、E）做为添加剂,研究了在干旱条件下,5种保水剂丸化包衣对柠条种子萌发及幼苗生长的影响。结果表明：不同水分条件对柠条种子发芽率有显著影响,不同保水剂吸水倍数差异显著;保水剂可以显著提高种子的发芽率、发芽势、发芽指数、活力指数及幼苗生长量,促进程度与保水剂吸水倍数呈正相关;使用保水剂包衣后,萌发中种子的电导率、丙二醛（MDA）含量、过氧化氢（H2O2）含量、脯氨酸含量、过氧化物酶（POD）活性明显低于对照组。综合实验结果,5种保水剂包衣处理效果依次为: D>E>B>A>C。

圆柏果实水浸提液化感作用的初步研究

圆柏(Sabina chinensis L.)成年母树周围很少有实生苗生长,为了检测该植物组织是否具有抑制种子发芽的作用,通过测定圆柏果皮和种子水浸提液对萝卜、白菜和圆柏种子萌发及幼苗根长和苗高的影响,对圆柏果实化感物质的作用进行了研究。结果显示:在高浓度0.1 g/mL果皮水浸提液处理下,萝卜和白菜种子的萌发、苗高和根长生长均受到显著的抑制作用,随着浸提液浓度的降低,其抑制作用逐渐减弱;低浓度(0.01 g/mL,0.03 g/mL)的果皮水浸提液对萝卜种子的萌发、幼苗苗高和根长均表现为促进作用,对白菜种子萌发、幼苗苗高和根长有抑制作用;圆柏种子浸提液对萝卜、白菜种子萌发及幼苗生长的抑制作用不显著。圆柏果实水浸提液对萝卜和白菜具有明显的化感作用,化感物质主要存在于果皮中,而且圆柏果实的化感作用对参加试验的萝卜和白菜种子具有选择性。圆柏种子在该试验中未发芽,TTC法检测参加试验圆柏种子的活力,发现果皮浸提液处理的圆柏种子有34%具有生活力,子叶在转绿;种子浸提液处理的圆柏种子有37%具有生活力,子叶也在转绿,圆柏种子的发芽率比较低,很大程度上取决于种子的质量,圆柏对自身种子的发芽及幼苗生长的自毒效应需要进一步研究。

差巴嘎蒿(Artemisia Halodendron)种子萌发对土壤温度、水分和埋深的响应

差巴嘎蒿(Artemisia halodendron)是科尔沁沙地植被的关键种之一,它在沙地植被的恢复演替过程中扮演着重要角色,也被广泛应用于人工固沙活动中。为了了解差巴嘎蒿对风沙环境的适应特点,试验研究了其种子萌发对土壤温度、水分和埋藏深度的响应模式。结果表明:差巴嘎蒿种子在4月和5月的土壤温度条件下萌发良好,总萌发率可达到96%,在7月的土壤温度条件下萌发较差,总萌发率低于50%;若以试验前3天的总萌发率为准,则5月的萌发率远大于其它两个月。在0MPa、-0.1MPa、-0.2MPa、-0.4MPa、-0.8MPa和-1.6MPa水势下,差蒿种子的总萌发率分别为89%、83%、80%、46%、17%和0%。在0.5cm、1.0cm和2.0cm埋深下,最终出苗率分别为90%、32%和9%,当埋深大于4cm后,种子无法出苗。种子萌发对温度、水势和埋深的这种响应模式总体上不利于差巴嘎蒿实生苗在科尔沁沙丘生境中的存活。     

Comparison of seed germination of four Artemisia species (Asteraceae) in northeastern Inner Mongolia, China

Two psammophile-dominated Artemisia semi-shrubs (A.wudanica and A.halodendron) and two annual Artemisia forbs (A.sieversiana and A.scoparia) bear significant ecological functions in Horqin Sandy Land,but systematical information on their achenes' germination is very limited.A set of studies were conducted to evaluate seed germination responses to storage periods and methods,different temperatures,lights conditions and sand burial depths,in order to determine inter-specific germination variation in the same genus and to explain how the species adapt to its microhabitat.Fresh achenes of A.wudanica,A.halodendron and A.sieversiana showed high germination capacities,but those of A.scoparia had obvious innate dormancy,which could be broken by chilling and dry storage,especially long-term dry storage.Achene germination of the two semi-shrubs preferred lower temperature fluctuation (10 to 22oC) and was not sensitive to light.But the two annuals preferred higher temperature fluctuation (34 to 22oC) and strong light for their achene germination.These four Artemisia species showed similar responses to sand burial,i.e.soil surface was most favorable for seedling emergence,and the deeper the sand burial,the fewer the seedling emergence.For the two semi-shrubs,their microhabitats are sand dunes with high temperature and intense light,which are not favorable for germination and seedling survival.Only rainfall contributes to temporary decrease of temperature and then triggers germination.We deduced that germination is not the main but a supplementary reproductive mode for the two semi-shrubs in sand dunes.For the two annuals,achene germination is the only reproductive mode,but different responses have been developed for microhabitat adaptation.For A.sieversiana,high germination capacities in wide temperature ranges and all light conditions could improve its competition and advancement in the wettest microhabitats.For A.scoparia,obvious innate dormancy of fresh achenes and germination inhabitation under unfavorable conditions are important adaptation to environmental disturbances.     

Effectiveness of water permeable joint filling materials for weed prevention in paved areas

The recent phase‐out of herbicide use on public pavements in Flanders has triggered the development of alternative strategies for weed prevention and control. In this study, growth chamber experiments investigated the ability of various water permeable joint filling materials for pavements to prevent weed growth. Joint fillers included in the tests comprised five innovative (iron slag sand, polymeric bound sand and three sodium silicate enriched fillers) and eight standard joint fillers (four fine materials, for example, sea sand, white sand, sandstone and fine limestone, and four coarse materials based on porphyry and limestone). Their ability to suppress weeds was investigated by examining seedling emergence and biomass production of seven test species in pure or organically polluted (5%, 10%, 20%, 40% and 80% compost by volume) filler substrate. Selected test species were dominant, hard‐to‐control weeds found on pavements. Seedling emergence and weed biomass were lowest in iron slag sand, polymeric bound sand and most sodium silicate enriched fillers, irrespective of pollution level or test species. Within standard joint fillers, pure white sand, sandstone and the coarse materials also reduced biomass, but their inhibitory effect dropped quickly once organically polluted, in contrast to fine limestone and sea sand for which weed suppression lasted longer (up to 40% compost by volume). Weed suppression of joint fillers was species specific. Our results show that there is potential for preventing weed growth using fillers that prevent the growth of a wide spectrum of plant species over a long period.     

Effects of the seed weight and burial depth on the seed behavior of common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia)

Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) is one of the annual plants that were described recently as invasive weeds in Europe. This species is described as an invasive plant that produces seeds that are highly variable. Its production of variably sized seeds is regarded as promoting its spread in different environments. Experiments were carried out to determine the influence of the seed weight and temperature on germination and the influence of the seed weight and burial depth on seedling emergence. The seeds were divided into a number of classes of weight and the seed weight effect on germination was evaluated by Petri dish assays. In another experiment, the seeds were buried at different depths in a clay soil/sand mix to estimate the burial effect on germination and seedling emergence. The germination level of A. artemisiifolia was high overall, between 76.8% and 94.2%. The seed germination was modified by temperature but it was not influenced by the seed weight. The amounts of germination and seedling emergence were greater for the seeds on the soil surface and decreased with an increasing burial depth, from 2 to 8 cm. No germination or emergence was observed for the seeds that were buried at 10 and 12 cm. The lightest seeds were more sensitive to burial. A greater level of seedling emergence for those seeds that were placed near the soil surface could explain the success of this species in open habitats, where the probability of deeper burial is low. After high seed production, the management of A. artemisiifolia in fields could be partly achieved through soil tillage, burying seeds below 10 cm, and not carrying out deep soil tillage the following year.     

Performance of potential non-crop or wild species under OECD 208 testing guideline study conditions for terrestrial non-target plants

The inclusion of 52 potential non-crop or wild species in new OECD guidelines for terrestrial non-target plant (TNTP) testing led to a ring test conducted by four laboratories experienced in regulatory testing. Species selected had shown potential to meet validity criteria of emergence for TNTP studies in a previous evaluation of the 52 species. OECD 208 guideline conditions were applied, with and without seed pretreatments recommended to enhance germination. These species were Abutilon theophrasti (L.) Medic., Avena fatua L., Fallopia convolvulus (L.) Adans., Galium aparine L., Ipomoea hederacea (L.) Jacq. and Veronica persica Poir. Only I. hederacea met the validity criterion of 70% emergence in all laboratories and showed a low variability in biomass. Of the other species, none led to 70% emergence in all four laboratories. The recommended pretreatments did not have a major impact on emergence. Biomass was also investigated with A. theophrasti, A. fatua, Centaurea cyanus L., I. hederacea and Rumex crispus L. Variability of biomass, a key parameter in TNTP regulatory studies, exceeded normal biomass variability of crop species used for TNTP studies. The addition of a thin layer of quartz sand to the soil surface resulted in improved emergence of C. cyanus, G. aparine and V. persica; however, such a procedure, while routine in screening studies to improve germination, is a deviation from the TNTP guidelines. These initial studies indicate that some species could meet the emergence criteria for TNTP testing. However, there is a need for further studies on seed source, seed quality and conditions for uniform emergence before their use in routine regulatory testing.     

Potential allelopathic effects of Suregada multiflorum and the influence of soil type on its residue's efficacy

This experiment was conducted to determine the potential allelopathic effects of the aqueous extracts and dried leaf powder of Suregada multiflorum and to find the herbicidal effects of its granule on the weed species, barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus‐galli) and slender amaranth (Amaranthus viridis), in various growth media (germination paper, sand, and soil). Observations in this study demonstrated that the potential and magnitude of their inhibitory effects varied among the plant parts. The leaves and branches possessed the strongest inhibition levels, followed by the bark. The aqueous extract from the leaves of S. multiflorum had a remarkably stronger inhibitory effect on the germination and growth of slender amaranth, compared with barnyardgrass; when applied at the concentration of 100 g L^–1, it completely inhibited the germination and initial seedling growth of slender amaranth. In addition, all the treatments of the dried leaf powder had stronger inhibition effects than the aqueous extract. Interestingly, the inhibitory effects of the dried leaf granule of S. multiflorum were stronger than the effects of the dried leaf powder at equal rates. The degree of inhibitory effect of the S. multiflorum granule, applied in various growing media, can be classified in order of decreasing inhibition as germination paper = sand > clay soil. The present study indicates that the S. multiflorum granule product that was developed in this research has the potential to provide a powerful organic herbicide for controlling slender amaranth.     

不同环境因素对猪殃殃种子萌发及出苗的影响

Germination, emergence, and dormancy of Mimosa pudica

Mimosa pudica (common sensitive plant) is a problematic weed in many crops in tropical countries. Eight experiments were conducted to determine the effects of light, seed scarification, temperature, salt and osmotic stress, pH, burial depth, and rice residue on the germination, seedling emergence, and dormancy of M. pudica seeds. Scarification released the seeds from dormancy and stimulated germination, though the germination of the scarified seeds was not influenced by light. The scarification results indicate that a hard seed coat is the primary mechanism that restricts germination. The germination increased markedly with the exposure to high temperature "pretreatment" (e.g. 150°C), which was achieved by placing non-scarified seeds in an oven for 5 min followed by incubation at 35/25°C day/night temperatures for 14 days. The germination of the scarified seeds was tolerant of salt and osmotic stress, as some seeds germinated even at 250 mmol L⁻¹ NaCl (23%) and at an osmotic potential of −0.8 MPa (5%). The germination of the scarified seeds was >74% over a pH range of 5–10. The seedling emergence of the scarified seeds was 73–88% at depths of 0–2 cm and it gradually decreased with an increasing depth, with no seedling emergence at the 8 cm depth. The rice residue applied to the soil surface at rates of ≤6 t ha⁻¹ did not influence the seedling emergence and dry weight. The information gained from this study identifies some of the factors that facilitate M. pudica becoming a widespread weed in the humid tropics and might help in developing components of integrated weed management practises to control this weed.     

Seed-to-seed allelopathic effects between two invaders of burned Pampa grasslands

The establishment of Lotus tenuis can interfere with colonization by Carduus acanthoides during the early post-burn recovery of Flooding Pampa grasslands. The purpose of this research was to determine the potential role of L. tenuis seeds as a source of allelopathic compounds involved in that interaction. Imbibed seeds of L. tenuis and aqueous leachates from them were bioassayed for their ability to inhibit germination and seedling growth of C. acanthoides , both on sterilized filter paper and on pasteurized soil as substrata. Germination and/or emergence of C. acanthoides were inhibited and root length was reduced on filter paper or soil, by both the presence of L. tenuis seeds and their leachate, at densities of L. tenuis near the maximum values observed in the field. Germination and seedling growth of C. acanthoides were less affected by the presence of L. tenuis seeds than by the addition of their leachate, and the presence of L. tenuis seeds or their leachate showed stronger effects on emergence of C. acanthoides from soil than on its germination on filter paper. Methods applied for leachate sterilization, ultrafiltration or autoclaving did not modify C. acanthoides responses. Neither the germination rate nor the root length of C. acanthoides seedlings were affected by solutions of polyethylene glycol with similar osmolarity to the leachates. We conclude that the release of inhibitory substances on to filter paper and into pot soil from imbibed L. tenuis seeds would be the mechanism responsible for the observed effects.
