Acclimation abilities of three tropical rainforest seedlings to an increase in light intensity

Current practices in many nurseries involve the germination of tropical rainforest seedlings in shaded conditions and transferral, at a later date, to environments with greater light intensities. Determination of the ability of these seedlings to acclimate to increased light intensities will allow seedling stock to be processed with maximum efficiency within the nursery. The acclimation abilities of three species, Agyrodendron actinophyllum, Cardwellia sublimis, and Flindersia brayleyana, commonly found in north Queensland's rainforests were investigated in this study. These particular species are highly valued for their cabinet timber qualities and are being reared in nurseries for use in reforestation trials and programs in north Queensland. Seedlings were initially raised in greenhouse conditions under two layers of shade cloth (16% of full sunlight) and then transferred into full sunlight at three different ages (3 weeks, 10 weeks, 14 weeks). Upon transfer, organ ratios and the direction of dry matter distribution was determined for each species and age group. Approximately 3 months after the seedlings were transferred, the acclimation ability of each species and age group was then determined. Dry matter distribution was found to change with age, irrespective of light environment. Individuals within a species with larger root systems and thicker or more dense leaves had a greater acclimation ability than those with smaller root systems and thinner or less dense leaves. Furthermore, individuals within a species whose dry matter distribution upon transfer was directed towards developing a large root system, and a small photosynthetic area and mass, had a greater acclimation ability than those whose dry matter distribution was directed away from such morphologies. Awareness of these relationships allows a better understanding of seedling response to gap formation in natural forests, and also allows plant nursery operators to make a more informed decision about when to move seedlings to environments with a higher light intensity.     

超级稻“三定”栽培法研究Ⅲ．不同栽培方式对超级杂交稻产量形成的影响

超级杂交稻的优化(稀植、结构施肥)栽培试验于2002-2004年在长沙进行,以比较不同栽培方法对超级杂交稻产量及物质生产的影响。以两优培九为材料,并以汕优63作为对照。结果表明,两种栽培法,两个供试品种的产量表现不同,其中两优培九采用优化栽培单产为8.20～10.37t/hm2,比传统栽培增产显著。主要表现为有效穗多,而结实率、千粒重、穗实粒等产量因子差异不明显。汕优63采用优化栽培单产比传统栽培减产0.37%～8.8%。两种栽培方法间的茎蘖发生动态和单株分蘖数存在极显著差异,两组合单株分蘖数优化栽培比传统栽培分别多110.36%和110.64%,但由于移栽密度不同,两种栽培方式间的单位面积分蘖数没有明显差异。两优培九采用优化栽培的在各个生育时期,植株体内的含氮量比传统栽培的高。     

Electrocorticogram disturbances detected in rats exposed from early stages of life to residual doses of lindane

Functional brain alterations induced by lindane were examined in Rat chronically exposed to low doses of lindane (1 and 2 μg L⁻¹ in drinking water) from conception. Histological and electrophysiological investigations were conducted at 14 weeks of age. Lindane did not induce histological changes. It did not significantly modify the sleep-wakefulness cycle and EEG did not show major alterations. The spectral EEG analysis, by recording cortical variations in both energy spectrum and energy levels of different frequency bands, showed an increase in the 11-15 Hz activity in both groups exposed to lindane. This activity was characterised by spindles well-depicted during slow wave sleep or associated with fast activity during wakefulness and theta activity in paradoxical sleep. These data suggest that chronic exposure to lindane doses as low as 1 μg L⁻¹ in drinking water could lead to central electrophysiological effects possibly involving GABA-benzodiazepine mechanisms.     

茭白主茎地上部养分积累和转运规律

以两个有代表性的茭白品种为试材,测定了植株主茎生育过程中地上各部位干、鲜质量的积累及叶片净光合速率的变化。结果表明在田间封行前,植株主茎叶和短缩茎的干、鲜质量持续缓慢增加;封行后至肉质茎快速膨大前,短缩茎的物质积累超过叶片和叶鞘;肉质茎快速膨大期间,干物质积累主要在其前期,同时短缩茎等其余部位干、鲜质量明显下降;之后肉质茎干、鲜质量增加趋缓,叶片、叶鞘质量仍持续下降,而短缩茎质量回升,进入新一轮物质积累期;主茎的总干物质量在封行后迅速提高,在肉质茎充分膨大后下降。功能叶片净光合速率在生育进程中总体呈持续缓慢下降的趋势,肉质茎快速膨大期间迅速大幅上升,紧接着又快速回落。     

干露胁迫对鼠尾藻生理生化影响的研究

鼠尾藻(Sargassum thunbergii)集生于中潮带和低潮带岩石上,在高、中潮带的水陆或石沼中,有的甚至在低潮时较长时间暴露于日光下。低潮露空下的干露胁迫是影响鼠尾藻生存的关键因子。本研究采集野生鼠尾藻为实验材料,在培养箱中分别失水干露0、1、3、6 h,并在海水中恢复培养,测定不同胁迫时间下藻体的失水率、叶绿素荧光参数和生化参数。结果显示,不同大小的鼠尾藻干露胁迫不同时间后的失水率显著不同,胁迫时间越短,藻体越大,失水率越低,大藻体鼠尾藻的保水能力高于小藻体;干露胁迫使鼠尾藻的叶绿素荧光值显著降低,同株鼠尾藻不同部位对干露胁迫的耐受程度显著不同,梢部耐受能力较差,基部耐受能力较强,小藻体和大藻体的梢部伤害较大,不能恢复,鼠尾藻基部可恢复正常生理状态,干露胁迫时,鼠尾藻以非调节性能量耗散机制为主;干露胁迫时,藻体梢部通过抗氧化酶类[(抗超氧阴离子自由基(ASAFR)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD))和非抗氧化物质(可溶性糖、脯氨酸)共同作用来应对胁迫,藻体基部主要是通过上调蛋白、可溶性糖和脯氨酸等含量抵抗胁迫。高中潮带的鼠尾藻较易处于高温、强光和干露失水叠加的胁迫状态,同时,又因外部形态和生活环境的不同,藻体各部分的生理生化特性也有一定的差异。本研究探讨了鼠尾藻干露胁迫下的生理生化状态,对研究鼠尾藻抵抗环境胁迫的生态适应性具有重要的指导意义。

微囊藻毒素-LR对生菜非结构性碳水化合物代谢的影响

【目的】研究低质量浓度微囊藻毒素-LR（MC-LR）慢性暴露对生菜（Lactuca sativa）叶片及根系非结构性碳水化合物代谢的影响,为富营养化水体在生菜灌溉中的应用提供理论指导。【方法】以散叶生菜为试验材料,采用土培试验方法,设置不同质量浓度（0（对照组）,1,5,10,30 μg/L）MC-LR的水溶液灌溉生菜30 d,通过分析生菜叶片及根系中可溶性糖（葡萄糖、果糖和蔗糖）及淀粉含量、蔗糖和淀粉代谢相关酶活性的变化,探讨生菜非结构性碳水化合物代谢对MC-LR慢性暴露的响应。【结果】10和30 μg/L MC-LR组生菜对MC-LR的富集系数较5 μg/L MC-LR组分别显著上升10.85%和17.83%（P＜0.05）,而对MC-LR的转运系数分别显著下降17.46%和13.85%（P＜0.05）。与对照组相比,1 μg/L MC-LR组生菜净光合速率显著提高了9.17%（P＜0.05）,叶片中果糖含量及根系中葡萄糖含量和淀粉酶（AMS）活性分别显著增加了52.71%,19.13%和37.01%（P＜0.05）;5,10和30 μg/L MC-LR组生菜净光合速率提高,但差异不显著（P＞0.05）,叶片和根系中葡萄糖、果糖和蔗糖含量均显著增加（P＜0.05）,叶片中性转化酶（NI）活性分别显著降低了27.10%,38.01%和37.29%（P＜0.05）,淀粉合成酶活性分别显著增加20.92%,24.57%和30.28%（P＜0.05）,根系蔗糖合成酶、蔗糖磷酸合成酶（SPS）和AMS活性均显著增加（P＜0.05）。【结论】1 μg/L MC-LR水溶液灌溉对生菜叶片和根系中非结构性碳水化合物的分布和代谢影响较弱;而5～30 μg/L MC-LR水溶液灌溉通过促进生菜根系淀粉分解和蔗糖代谢活性,维持体内较高浓度的可溶性糖,从而提高生菜的抗逆性。
