Effect of shoot size and phenological variation of host plants on the spatial patterns of cynipid galls

The effects of shoot size and differences in budburst phenology ofQuercus serrata trees on the spatial patterns of galls were investigated for two cynipid species: the sexual generation ofAndricus moriokae and the agamic generation ofAphelonyx glanduliferae. There were marked differences in budburst phenology, but these did not affect the gall density on the tree. The galls of both cynipids showed a contagious distribution in their respective trees, but different abundance patterns under high gall density. The mean number of galls ofA. glanduliferae over a shoot size range was positively correlated with shoot size. More galls ofA. moriokae appeared on larger shoots on trees on which many buds had started growing before oviposition by the agamic adults. In the case of a tree on which a few buds had burst by the time of oviposition, the mean numbers ofA. moriokae galls on shoots of particular size ranges depended on the frequency of shoots in the size class. These results suggest that, although these cynipids prefer to attack larger shoots within a host tree, they may exhibit plasticity in their preference in response to changes in budburst phenology of the host plant relative to the time of oviposition.     

榉树茎尖的培养

选用成年榉树 Schneideriana 的当年生嫩枝作为外植体,经常规消毒后,接种于附加不同质量浓度的激素BA、NAA、2,4-D的MS培养基上,诱导茎尖萌芽.结果表明:诱导芽萌发的最适宜的培养基为MS BA( 1.0 mg·L-1),继代培养后,在每个芽的基部又可长出3～7个小芽;小芽在MS BA(0.5 mg·L-1) CH(500 mg·L-1)培养基上培养30～40 d,即可长成小植株;在 1/2MS IBA(0.5 mg·L-1)的生根培养基上培养3～4周后可形成正常植株.     

毛竹笋,材加工剩余物的饲用价值

对毛竹笋、材加工剩余物作为反刍动物饲料的营养价值进行研究表明，竹笋加工剩余物营养价值较高，可直接或经适当处理后用作饲料，竹材加工剩余物因蛋白质含量低，木质素含量高，直接作为饲料的营养价值不及作物秸秆。由于竹材加工剩余物中含有３／４的碳水化合物，故具有作为反刍动物饲料的潜在价值。对竹材加工剩余物进行氨化处理，可明显提高粗蛋白含量，并使质地变得松软，而竹材加工过程中的高温蒸煮、切削加工和烘干处理等，可破坏其细胞壁，使碎料膨松柔软，降低了粗纤维含量，作为食物纤维素定量的ＮＤＦ、ＡＤＦ和木质素值均有不同程度下降。     

樟树幼林生物化学参数与高光谱遥感特征参数相关分析

高光谱遥感在植被研究中的应用使定量估算植被的生物化学参数和生物物理参数成为可能.分析了樟树幼林生物化学参数与高光谱特征变量之间的相关关系.结果表明:樟树幼林的大部分生物化学参数(叶绿素a含量、叶绿素b含量、叶绿素总含量、类胡萝卜素含量和总磷含量)与高光谱遥感特征参数(蓝边内最大的一阶微分、绿峰反射率、红边位置、蓝边面积、绿峰反射率和红谷反射率构成的比值与归一化植被指数、红边面积和蓝边面积构成的比值和归一化植被指数)之间的相关系数达到了0.01极显著性检验水平;纤维素、总氮含量与高光谱特征参数的相关系数没有达到显著性检验水平.因此,可以利用相关系数达到了0.01极显著性检验水平的高光谱特征参数建立樟树幼林生物化学参数的高光谱遥感估算模型.     

蓝桉幼林施肥效应研究

在云南省保山市石灰岩红壤地区进行了历时4年的蓝桉幼林N、P、K不同配比的10种处理施肥试验。结果表明，施肥能明显促进蓝桉（Eucalyptusglobulus）幼林的生长；其中处理6、9、10增产效果极显著，树高增加16．31％～20．40％，胸径分别增加18．78％～19．21％，材积增加65．04％～70．19％。有机肥对蓝桉生长有促进作用，施过有机肥的处理10生长始终保持优势；磷肥是蓝桉增产的主要因素，每株施430g钙镁磷肥做底肥能使树高、胸径分别增加14．67％、15．87％，每株施215g钙镁磷肥则树高、胸径分别增加11．44％、7．83％；氮肥各水平间无差异，增产效果不明显；钾肥1、2水平间无差异，3水平可能过量，阻碍了肥效发挥。施肥能提高蓝桉生产的经济效益，较好的几个处理依次为6、9、2、10、3产出投入比值均大于对照。综合以上几个因素，N2P3K2为蓝桉幼林的最佳施肥方案。     

中国竹子的种植前途

在过去,中国竹类资源主要被农户作为林副产品自用,很少与市场关联。近年来,由于谷物供应的过剩和农业环境的恶化,大家都在寻找既能够保护环境又能满足市场需求的替代作物。竹子紧密关联着农、林二业,完全有可能用以应对中国农业面临的新挑战。在有记载的534种中国竹子中,153种生产可食竹笋,其中56种为优秀种;139种竹子可用于木材生产,其中58种为优秀种;116种竹子可生产优质竹篾,其中22种为优秀种;88种竹子适用于公园种植,其中34种为优秀种;45种竹子可生产纸浆,其中18种为优秀种。图5附录5参32。     

Rooting of baldcypress cuttings

A test of the rooting performance and growth of cuttings from 1-year-old and 25-to 50-year old baldcypress (Taxodium distichum L.) branch tips is reported. Rooting of cuttings from one-year-old trees averaged 75% (0.1% IBA treatment) and 88% (control), cuttings from 25 to 50-year-old trees averaged 12% in both the IBA treatment and the control treatment. Indole-3-butyric acid at a 0.1% concentration did not enhance rooting, but resulted in a significant increase in shoot dry weight on cuttings from one-year-old trees. The results of this experiment suggest that cuttings from mature baldcypres trees have the potential to root, thereby, additional rooting techniques such as girdling and stump sprouts is worthy of pursuing.     

Evaluation of Dutch elm disease susceptibility and pathogenicity of Ophiostoma ulmi using micropropagated elm shoots

Elm (Ulmus sp.) shoots from in vitro micropropagated plants were tested with Ophiostoma ulmi culture filtrates, at different dilutions to determine the susceptibility of different host clones to Dutch elm disease (DED). ‘Commelin’, a susceptible Dutch hybrid, showed a high wilting index but that of American elm was higher. Although U. pumila × japonica (Sapporo gold 2) was the most tolerant to spore inoculation, its wilting index was as high as that of ‘Commelin’. The absorption capacity and wilting index of the elm shoots showed consistent correlation to isolate effectiveness (as determined by inoculation experiments), to production of toxin (cerato-ulmin) and to filtrate dilution. This method could be used to assess the effectiveness of the different O. ulmi isolates and for the detection of elm genotypes that are highly susceptible to Dutch elm disease.     

海涂哺鸡竹与角竹春笋产出,笋株重量变化的比较研究

在海涂含盐土壤中，角竹造林后成园快，笋单产高于哺鸡竹；角竹笋期５月１４日～６月１０日，哺鸡竹为４月２９日～５月１０日，盛笋期在出笋中前期，延续约１０～１２ｄ；竹笋单株重量哺鸡竹明显大于角竹，笋株粗重期在出笋初期和中前期，比盛笋期约早３ｄ，延续时间同盛笋期。因此，宜扩大角竹造林面积，延长供笋期，多产市场淡季笋，以获得更佳的效益。     

Stem respiration in leafy cuttings of Prosopis juliflora during the rooting process

An oxygen electrode was used to estimate the respiration rate of basal 1 cm sections of Prosopis juliflora cuttings. The respiration rate per unit dry mass decreased linearly with increasing diameter at a rate of 0.42 nmol0₂g^–1s^–1mm^–1 between the range of 1–3 mm diameter. However, as a result of increased mass, total respiration for the whole 1 cm section of tissue increased linearly with increasing diameter. The average respiration rate of the basal 1 cm of stem tissue, measured 14 days after insertion in the propagator, was almost double that of the 1 cm section of tissue above it (1.01 nmol0₂g^–1s^–1 compared to 0.57 nmol0₂g^–1s^–1). The value of this technique as an aid to our understanding of the development of adventitious roots is discussed.
