以番茄品种合作903为试验材料,设置0、0.1、0.2、0.4 mmol · L~(-1 )亚精胺(Spd)浸种10 h,研究不同浓度Spd浸种对番茄种子萌发、幼苗生长及高温抗性的影响。结果表明:不同浓度Spd浸种处理均能显著提高番茄种子的发芽指数和活力指数,幼苗地下部干质量和壮苗指数明显提高,其中0.2 mmol · L~(-1 )Spd浸种处理发芽最快,活力指数最高。Spd浸种处理降低了高温胁迫下番茄叶片的相对电解质渗透率、丙二醛(MDA)和H_2O_2含量,其中0.2 mmol · L~(-1 )Spd处理的相对电解质渗透率、MDA和H_2O_2含量最低;抗氧化酶(SOD、APX、DHAR)活性增加,并在0.2 mmol · L~(-1)时达到最大值。综上,0.2 mmol · L~(-1 )Spd浸种能有效促进番茄种子萌发和幼苗生长,提高番茄幼苗高温抗性。

低氮胁迫对谷子苗期性状的影响和耐低氮品种的筛选

筛选和培育耐低氮能力强的作物品种,是提高作物氮素利用效率,减少氮肥施用量,降低环境污染的有效措施。本研究以45份谷子品种为试材,采用水培的方法,在低氮(0.1mmol·L~(-1))和正常氮(5mmol·L~(-1))条件下,测定苗高、根长和根数等22个氮效率相关指标,采用综合耐低氮系数法以及基于主成分分析的隶属函数法评价参试谷子品种的耐低氮性。结果表明,与正常氮条件相比,低氮胁迫下,谷子苗期根长、根冠比、地上部氮素生理效率、地下部氮素生理效率、单株氮素生理效率有不同程度提高,其余17个指标都有不同程度降低。两种评价方法均根据45个谷子品种的耐低氮能力将其划分为强耐低氮型、耐低氮型、中间型、较敏感型和敏感型5类。筛选出耐低氮性较强的品种5份,编号分别为11、14、17、35和39。利用GGE双标图对品种-耐低氮相关指标的分析表明,编号39和14的耐低氮品种主要耐低氮性状为地下部干重、地下部鲜重、根长;编号为11、35和17的耐低氮品种主要耐低氮性状为地上部鲜重、叶片数、叶宽、叶长、单株氮累积量、地上部氮累积量、单株干质量、地上部干重、地下部氮累积量、根数、苗高和SPAD。可见不同谷子品种的耐低氮机制存在一定差异,研究结果可为谷子耐低氮品种的选育提供材料基础。

Simultaneous selection for seed and forage production in cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata): application of drought tolerance and susceptibility indices

An experiment was conducted to estimate drought tolerance of some cocksfoot genotypes based on seed and forage yield and related indices (including tolerance index, mean productivity, geometric mean productivity, reduction percentage index, stress tolerance index and stress susceptibility index) and to identify relationships between measured traits. Twenty‐five genotypes were evaluated in the field under control and drought‐stress environments over 2 years. The results revealed a high variation for seed yield and forage yield and the measured indices under both moisture conditions. No correlation was observed between seed yield and forage yield under the control treatment, but this correlation was positively significant under the water‐stress treatment. Drought‐tolerant and susceptible genotypes were identified based on seed and forage yield performance. Genotypes 2, 4 and 7 had high seed yield, while genotypes 7 and 10 had high forage yield under both stressed and non‐stressed conditions and were identified as the most tolerant genotypes in each category. The results also revealed that genotypes 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 24 had relatively high seed and forage yield in both control and drought‐stressed conditions. These genotypes can be used for further studies to improve both seed and forage yields concurrently.     

Azospirillum brasilense mitigates water stress imposed by a vascular disease by increasing xylem vessel area and stem hydraulic conductivity in tomato

Water stress, with its negative consequences on plant growth and survival, can be mitigated by Azospirillum brasilense inoculation. In tomato, A. brasilense delays wilting caused by a vascular pathogen, Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis, by yet unknown mechanisms. We studied morphological, anatomical and physiological changes induced by A. brasilense in tomato that relate to water stress tolerance, which could explain the deferral in symptom expression. For this purpose, tomato seeds were treated or not with A. brasilense BNM65, and 5 weeks later plants were challenged with C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis or mock inoculated with water. There was a large growth promotion associated to Azospirillum: treated plants had higher total biomass and leaf area. In relation to water stress tolerance, Azospirillum treated plants had larger xylem vessel area, higher stem specific hydraulic conductivity, thicker stems, and lower shoot/root dry matter and specific leaf area. These changes were opposite to those induced by C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis. We conclude that A. brasilense favoured a better adjustment of plant-water relations by several mechanisms, and thus, transitorily alleviated symptoms expression of a vascular disease.     

Effects of prebiotic mannan oligosaccharide on the growth,survival, and anxiety-like behaviors of zebrafish (Danio rerio)

A study was designed to investigate the possible positive prebiotic effects of mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) on growth and reduction of anxiety behaviors in zebrafish (Danio rerio). The experimental diets were supplemented with 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 g MOS kg^?1 and were fed to juvenile fish (0.47 ± 0.017 g) in triplicates for six weeks. Significant differences were found in the final body weight, body weight intake, percent body weight intake, and specific growth rate among treatments. The regression analyses showed that the optimum MOS level was 4–4.1 g MOS kg^?1 diet. Fish fed 4 g MOS kg^?1 feed showed higher survival than the other treatments. Also, using the novel tank test, fish fed with 4 g MOS kg^?1 diet showed lower anxiety by swimming in the upper portion of the tank. The other behavior parameters remained unaffected by the prebiotic. The results indicated the beneficial effect of the prebiotic MOS on growth and partly on welfare of zebrafish juveniles.     

盐碱复合胁迫对白茎盐生草种子萌发的影响

为了解盐碱胁迫对种子萌发的影响，本研究以白茎盐生草(Halogeton arachnoideus)为研究对象，采用室内模拟试验，以盐分种类和盐浓度为控制因素，按照NaCl ? Na2SO4 ? NaHCO3 ? Na2CO3的顺序，以A (1 ? 1 ? 0 ? 0)、B (1 ? 2 ? 1 ? 0)、C (1 ? 9 ? 9 ? 1)、D (1 ? 1 ? 1 ? 1)、E (9 ? 1 ? 1 ? 9) 5种不同比例进行混合，共5个组别，记为A－E；每个组别分为6个浓度，共30个处理，研究盐碱复合胁迫对其种子萌发的影响。结果表明：随着盐溶液浓度的升高，种子发芽率、发芽势、发芽指数均呈下降趋势；将盐溶液中未萌发的种子转移到蒸馏水中后，种子可以不同程度地恢复萌发。经过回归分析得出，A－E的耐盐阈值依次为0.26、0.24、0.23、0.25、0.16 mol·L?1，耐盐极限值分别为0.65、0.62、0.62、0.60、0.52 mol·L?1；聚类分析得出，A－E的耐盐阈值依次为0.3、0.2、0.3、0.3、0.1 mol·L?1。对回归与聚类分析结果取均值，得出白茎盐生草种子萌发在盐碱复合胁迫下的耐盐阈值为0.234 mol·L?1，耐盐极限值为0.602 mol·L?1。盐分浓度对种子萌发的影响大于盐分种类。相较于碱性盐，白茎盐生草更耐受中性盐环境。
