Ultrastructural and Extracellular Protein Changes in Cell Suspension Cultures of Populus euphratica Associated with Low Temperature-induced Cold Acclimation

Populus euphratica Olive is the only tree species that can grow in the saline land and also survive cold winters in northwest China, and it plays a very important role in stabilizing the vulnerable ecosystem there. A cell suspension culture was initiated from callus derived from plantlets of Populus euphratica. Cold acclimation was induced (LT50 of-17.5 ℃) in cell suspension at 4-5 ℃ in the dark for 30 days and the freezing tolerance increased from LT50 of-12.5 ℃ in nonacclimated cells to LT50 of-17.5 ℃ in cold-acclimated cells. Microvacuolation, cytoplasmic augmentation and accumulation of starch granules were observed in cells that were cold-acclimated by exposure to low temperatures. Several qualitative and quantitative changes in proteins were noted during cold acclimation. Antibodies to carrot extracellular (apoplastic) 36 kD antifreeze protein did not cross react on immunoelectroblots with extracellular proteins in cell suspension culture medium of Populus euphratica, indicating no common epitopes in the carrot 36 kD antifreeze protein and P euphratica extracellular proteins. The relationship of these changes to cold acclimation in Populus euphratica cell cultures was discussed.     

Study on Growth and Genetic Gains of Different Families in Eucalyptus urophylla Second Generation Seed Orchards

A second-generation seedling seed orchard including 32 open-pollinated families of Eucalyptus urophylla was built at Gaoyao City, Guangdong Province to examine the genetic performance of the orchard, which were selected from the superior trees in an improvement seed orchard. Compared to the characteristics of height, DBH, individual volume, stem form, branch and blossom quantities among different families at 22 months. The results indicate that: (1) The most superior families in individual volume and blossom quantities include No. 11,8,40,27 and 2 families; (2) With the 50%-selected rate, the genetic gain of individual volume of the superior families from seed orchard was estimated to be 4.84%.     

Tropical Timber Trade Flows in P.R. China

The historical transition of timber distribution pattern in China was presented firstly with main parts of timber flows in China, which included timber markets, timber transport system and regulations of timber transport. Based on the overview on tropical timber flows in China, the trade flows of tropical timber from production and imports of tropical timber to export of tropical timber products were analyzed by vivid illustrations. At the same time, problems in timber trade flows in China were analysed in the end.     

The severity and cause of leaf spot disease of Pongamia pinnata L. and fungicidal control of the pathogen

A survey on the symptom and severity of the leaf spot disease of Pongamia pinnata L. was conducted in the nurseries of the Institute of Forestry and Environmental Sciences, University of Chittagong （IFESCU）, Bangladesh Forest Research Institute （BFRI） and Aronnak Nursery in Chittagong. The highest infection percentage and disease index were found in IFESCU nursery, followed by BFRI and the lowest was recorded in Aronnak nursery. The associated organism of leaf spot disease of P. pinnata was isolated from the diseased plant parts and the pathogenicity was established with the isolated fungus. Colletorichum gloeosprioides Penz was proved to be pathogenic. The inhibition of mycelial growth of C. gloeosporioides was observed and identified as suitable fungicides （Bavistin, Cupravite and Dithane M-45） and doses （0.05, 0.10, 0.50, 1.00, 1.50 and 2.00）. The lowest and highest mycelial growth were respectively found on Bavistin and on Cupravite at the concentration of 0.05 after 8th day of incubation. It indicates that out of the three tested fungicides, Bavistin showed most effective, followed by Diathane M-45, and Cupravite was ineffective for its very little inhibition on mycelial growth.

兰考泡桐和刺槐幼苗最适营养需要的研究

按稳态营养理论和方法,本文研究了兰考泡桐(Paulownia elongata)和刺槐(Robinia pseudoacacia)幼苗的最适营养需要。通过每天测定和调整培养液pH值和电导率,及时补偿消耗的营养物,幼苗体内营养状况和最大生长速率均保持稳定。兰考泡桐幼苗每天生长率高达25％以上,刺槐达15％。营养物利用率90％以上。确定兰考泡桐幼苗最适营养物比例为100N:75K:18P:7Ca:8.5Mg;刺槐为100N:60K:15P:8Ca:9Mg。本文还讨论了最适营养研究在育苗和林地施肥应用的前景。     

桉树—对其前景的展望

“请给我200株桉树苗。”“难道你不想要30个树种中的其他树苗吗?我们有象Gubabul,竹子和酸角(罗望子)苗,”我问这个农民。“不,谢谢,”他回答。“有人对我说,桉树吸收的水分太多。”这是我常常从城里人或农民那里听到的。从社会上可以听到两种相反的意见。很

种子重量和出苗率对自由传粉的花旗松家系早期生长的影响

观测记录了39个自由传粉的花旗松(Pseudotsuga menziesii var·menziesii[Mirb]Franco)家系的种子重量、出苗时间和苗木大小的三项标准,以便估算种子重量和出苗的家系变异及种子特性对苗木早期生长的影响。试验采用未发芽种子和萌芽种子播种,以测定用发芽种子播种能否降低种子对苗木早期生长的影响。为了评估竞争对种子重量与苗木大小、出苗率与苗木大小的关系的影响,各家系以密植混合家系区、密植纯系区、稀植非竞争区方式单株播种。结果表明:各家系在种子重量、出苗率、出苗速度方面差异显著,但种子重量与出苗率、种子重量与苗木大小、出苗速度与苗木大小间的相关关系不显著;用发茅种子播种不能降低种子对苗木早期生长的影响;家系间的竞争对增大种子效应也没有多大影响。
