制种玉米密度对土壤水分及产量构成的影响研究

通过田间试验,就制种玉米密度对土壤水分、农艺性状、产量构成及产量的影响进行了研究分析。结果表明:1在拔节期以前,低密组的土壤含水量比高密组的高;在拔节期到灌浆期,高密组的比低密组的高。在整个生育期,拔节期前土壤含水量比较高,而后逐渐降低,吐丝期达到最低,然后又逐步上升。2在一定密度范围内,制种玉米株高、亩产量随着密度的增大而增加单株产量产量相反;叶长、穗粗、穗粒数先随着密度的增大而减小,后随着密度的增大而增大;叶宽、穗长、百粒重、出籽率先随着密度的增大而增加,后随着密度的增大而减小;叶面积、茎粗、穗位先随着密度的增大而减小,后随着密度的增大而增加,然后又随着密度的增大而减小,秃顶变化规律相反。     

不同紫花苜蓿品种植株浸提液对种子萌发和幼苗生长的自毒效应

以5个紫花苜蓿品种为浸提液提取材料,分别用不同浓度(0、10、30、50、70g/L)的根、茎、叶浸提液处理甘农3号紫花苜蓿种子及幼苗,研究不同处理对其种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响。结果表明:5个苜蓿品种植株浸提液对甘农3号种子萌发和幼苗生长具有明显自毒效应,其效应因苜蓿品种、器官和浸提液浓度不同而存在显著差异。同一品种、相同浓度下自毒效应强弱顺序为叶茎根;同一品种和器官的浸提液随着浓度的增大,甘农3号苜蓿种子的发芽势、发芽率、发芽指数、活力指数均显著降低,胚根长、胚芽长及根系活力显著减小;随着浸提液浓度逐渐增大(10~70g/L),种子发芽势、发芽率的化感指数(RI)也逐渐增大(0.002 6~12.640 0),同时受抑制程度逐步增强,而且,叶浸提液对种子发芽势、发芽率抑制作用最强,根浸提液抑制作用最弱,茎浸提液抑制作用居中。同样的,随着浸提液浓度增大,幼苗的胚根长、胚芽长受抑制程度也逐步增大(1.3%~54.1%),其中根浸提液抑制率在1.3%~31.3%,茎浸提液抑制率在4.0%~34.1%,而浓度为50g/L叶浸提液抑制率达到54.1%,浓度为70g/L叶浸提液甚至致使苜蓿种子和幼苗腐烂或死亡,检测不到胚根长、胚芽长。不同苜蓿品种的自毒作用存在差异;同一苜蓿品种,根、茎、叶浸提液的自毒效应叶浸提液最强,其次为茎浸提液,根浸提液自毒效应最弱。苜蓿自毒作用会抑制种子萌发和幼苗的胚根、胚芽生长。     

不同改良措施对退化高寒草甸土壤种子库的影响

利用萌发法研究了甘南退化高寒草甸不同改良措施(经综合恢复即围封+划破草皮+补播+灭鼠(ESRD)、围封+灭鼠(ED)、围封(E))下土壤种子库的特征。结果表明,在所调查的样地中共统计到35种植物,隶属18科29属。对甘南退化高寒草甸采取综合恢复(ESRD)时,土壤种子库物种数趋于增加,比ED高出16.9%,比E高出63.9%。ESRD措施下土壤种子库密度为2451.5粒/m2,比ED高出354.8粒/m2,比E高出957.1粒/m2;杂类草所占的比例也有所减少,比ED低19.3%,比E低26.2%;物种的丰富度和多样性指数均低于其他两种措施。3组改良措施鼠丘种子库密度依次为ESRD(938.1粒/m2)ED(762.8粒/m2)E(719.1粒/m2);鼠丘上禾本科物种所占比率为综合恢复ESRD(23.26%)ED(12.31%)E(11.92%)。ESRD改良下鼠丘上的物种的丰富度和多样性指数均小于其他组。说明对退化高寒草甸草地及时进行综合恢复和灭鼠以及对鼠丘进行补播是改良天然退化草地的重要手段。     

去除果皮和晒种处理对红豆草种子萌发特性的影响

试验研究了去除果皮和晒种处理对红豆草种子(荚果)萌发特性的影响。结果表明:和对照相比,去除果皮处理显著缩短了红豆草种子的初次发芽时间,且显著提高了发芽率、发芽指数、活力指数和根、芽生长,显著降低了发霉率;晒种处理能显著促进未去掉果皮红豆草种子(荚果)的萌发。晒种1~3d对去掉果皮的红豆草种子的发芽率和发霉率无显著影响(P0.05)。去掉果皮晒种2、3d处理红豆草种子的发芽率显著高于未去皮晒种0d(对照),发霉率显著低于对照(P0.05),发芽指数和活力指数显著高于去掉果皮晒种0d和1d,初次发芽时间比对照提前2d,其根长和芽长显著高于对照(P0.05);经过去掉果皮和晒种的红豆草种子在室内贮存75d后其发芽指数、根长、芽长均有所降低,而发芽率却有所增加。试验得出,去除红豆草种子(荚果)果皮并晒种2~3d能显著促进其萌发、降低发霉率,而且短期(75d)贮藏后其发芽率未降低。     

Effects of smoke,ash and heat shock on seed germination of seven species from Central Zagros rangelands in the semi-arid region of Iran

Fire products have been widely identified as germination cues for a number of species from both fire-prone and fire-free ecosystems. However, there is uncertainty about the effects of fire products on seed germination of semi-arid rangeland species. We examined the germination of seven dominant species from Central Zagros rangelands in the semi-arid region of Iran under various heat shock (60, 80 and 120 °C), aerosol smoke, ash and control treatments. Our findings showed that fire products could enhance, inhibit or not affect the seed germination of rangeland species in this area. The germination percentage of Astragalus adscendens increased following 60 °C heat treatment in comparison with the control. The germination of Astragalus verus, Bromus tectorum, B. tomentellus and Phlomis olivieri were increased significantly using smoke treatment (P<0.0001). The seed germination of B. tomentellus and B. tectorum was promoted by ash treatment, whereas the other species exhibited no response or were inhibited by fire products. In addition, smoke treatment shortened the overall germination time of B. tectorum. These findings suggest that fire products affect the germination of several species and can serve as potential tools for understanding the vegetation dynamics and restoration of disturbed semi-arid rangelands.     

Optimising cutting method and timing for the control of Abutilon theophrasti seed production

Abutilon theophrasti (velvetleaf) is a widespread and problematic annual weed. Greenhouse and field experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of different cutting methods on the viability of A. theophrasti seeds. Three cutting methods were assessed: (1) Entire plant cut and dried (EPD)—plants were cut at soil level and dried with capsules attached on the greenhouse bench or soil surface for 4 weeks; (2) capsules detached and dried (CD)—capsules were removed from plants and dried for 4 weeks; and (3) capsules detached and tested while fresh (CF)—a control treatment. Before drying, the developmental stage (stage one, dark green; stage two, light green; stage three, yellowish-green; or stage four, black with the slightly open capsule) and age (days after flowering, DAF) of each capsule was recorded. Seed viability was measured immediately in the CF treatment and after the 4-week drying period in the EPD and CD treatments. No seeds in the EPD and CD treatments were viable when harvested at the first developmental stage (1–8 DAF) in either experiment, but 100% of seeds in the CF treatment in the field were viable when harvested at 8 DAF. In both greenhouse and field experiments, seeds attained full viability at earlier harvest ages in CF than in EPD or CD treatments, suggesting that seeds might become viable relatively early in development but lose viability if allowed to dry. These findings could be applied to optimise late-season mechanical control of A. theophrasti.     

赤霉素浓度和温水浸种时间对猕猴桃不同品种种子萌发的影响

以美味猕猴桃‘徐香’、中华猕猴桃‘宜黄2号’、毛花猕猴桃‘赣绿1号’和‘赣绿2号’4个猕猴桃品种的种子为试验材料,设置5个梯度的赤霉素浓度和5个浸种时间进行处理,通过统计种子萌发的发芽率、发芽势和发芽时滞,探讨赤霉素浓度和温水浸种时间对猕猴桃种子发芽的影响。结果表明：4种猕猴桃种子发芽率与发芽势均受赤霉素浓度和温水浸种时间的影响,其中‘徐香’的种子发芽率和发芽势最高,其次是‘赣猕1号’、‘赣猕2号’和‘宜黄2号’。‘徐香’、‘赣绿1号’和‘赣绿2号’、‘宜黄2号’种子发芽率最高所对应的赤霉素处理浓度和浸种时间组合分别为：0.6 g/L赤霉素+30 min温水浸种、0.4 g/L赤霉素+30 min温水浸种、0.6 g/L赤霉素+30 min温水浸种和0.6 g/L赤霉素+60 min温水浸种。不同品种猕猴桃发芽时滞也有一定差异,其中‘徐香’发芽最早,其次是‘宜黄2号’,‘赣绿1号’和‘赣绿2号’开始发芽最晚。
