Nutritional composition,growth and enzymatic response of vetiver grass grown under crude oil contamination as influenced by gibberellic acid and surfactant

Abstract

Although crude oil contamination is a constraint for crop production, some plants can develop under crude oil contaminated conditions by utilizing crude oil as nutrients after decomposition. A greenhouse trial was conducted to investigate growth, nutritional composition and enzymatic response of vetiver grass in confronting with crude-oil contamination as affected by gibberellic acid (GA) and Tween 80. Application of GA or co-application of GA with Tween 80 significantly increased mean shoot dry weight. Application of Twee 80 alone or in combination with GA significantly increased mean root dry weight as compared to control which was attributed to the effectiveness of Tween 80 alone or in combination with GA on the removal of total petroleum hydrocarbons from polluted soil. Application of crude oil diminished shoot phosphorus, iron, zinc and manganese uptakes. Application of GA and Tween 80, however, compensated the decrease in nutrient uptakes in vetiver grass resulted from crude-oil contamination. Application of crude oil at both 2 and 4% (W/W) levels increased catalase (CAT) activity and proline (PRO) content. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity increased only following the application of 2% crude oil level, while addition of all amendments decreased CAT activity. Addition of GA decreased activity of SOD. None of the studied amendments had a significant effect on PRO content. Application of a combination of GA and Tween 80 under crude oil contamination are recommendable since such treatments not only inhibited adverse effect of crude oil on nutrients uptake but also caused that vetiver grass tolerated high level of crude oil contamination.

紫玉兰对模拟酸雨的胁迫响应

以1a生盆栽紫玉兰实生苗为试验材料,采用人工模拟酸雨的方法观测酸雨胁迫时紫玉兰的生长情况及其生理响应。结果表明:pH 3.5是酸雨对紫玉兰叶片隐性伤害的临界点。在轻度酸雨(pH3.5)胁迫下,随着酸雨酸度增加,紫玉兰叶片内可溶性蛋白含量增加,超氧化物岐化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)活性随酸度增加而增加;当pH3.5时,随酸度增加,可溶性蛋白含量有所下降,SOD、POD活性急剧下降。相关性分析表明,紫玉兰叶片内过氧化氢酶活性与丙二醛含量呈显著负相关。     

Relationship between Dry Weight at Heading and the Number ofSpikelets on Individual Rice Tillers

Abstract

The objectives of this study were to identify the growth parameters involved in determining the number of spikelets on an individual tiller (ST) and to elucidate how ST is determined in rice (Oryza sativa L.). We examined the correlation of ST with the dry weight (DWT), leaf area (LAT), and the amount of nitrogen (NT) at heading for individual tillers grown under different conditions that were expected to affect spikelet production. In 1999, the japonica rice cultivars “Mineasahi” (short-duration), “Hinohikari” (intermediate-duration), and “Akebono” (long-duration) were transplanted in a paddy field on two different dates (EARLY and LATE). In 2000, Hinohikari was grown under three different treatments (gibberellic acid application, nitrogen topdressing, and thinning of hills at panicle initiation) and without treatment (control). Covariance and partial correlation analyses indicated that ST was positively and essentially correlated with DWT rather than with LAT and NT. The regression of ST on DWT was stable within each cultivar regardless of the treatment, year, tiller order, and number of differentiated spikelets. The slope of the regression was the steepest in the short-duration cultivar. These results suggest that the steep slope is desirable for high-yielding cultivars with large panicles. We conclude that ST is mostly determined by dry matter production of an individual tiller regardless of the number of differentiated spikelets. We present a diagram showing the relationship between dry matter production and the number of differentiated, surviving, and degenerated spikelets on an individual tiller.     

Effects of Soil Temperature on Growth and Root Function in Rice

Abstract

The objective of this study was to clarify the effects of soil temperature in the stage from late tillering to panicle initiation (SI) and during the grain-filling stage (SII) on grain setting, dry matter production, photosynthesis, non-structural carbohydrate (NSC), xylem exudation and abscisic acid (ABA) levels in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Koshihikari). Rice plants were exposed to four different soil temperatures during SI or SII: 17.5, 25, 31.5 and 36.5°C (ST18, ST25, ST32 and ST37, respectively). The yield, yield components, grain filling and quality in SI were negatively influenced by high soil temperature of 37°C. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in those characters among temperature treatments in SII. The root/shoot ratio was smallest in the ST37 plants in both SI and SII, mainly due to their lighter root weight. At 7 days after initiation of treatment (DAT) in both SI and SII, the photosynthetic and xylem exudation rate tended to increase slightly as soil temperature increased up to 32°C. At 21 DAT, however, the photosynthetic rate was lowest in ST37, with concurrent decrease of diffusion conductance and SPAD value. In addition, decrease of NSC concentration in stem and xylem exudation rate, and increase of ABA level in leaves and xylem exudate were observed in ST37 plants at 21 DAT. These results suggested that high soil temperature before heading especially influenced yield, grain quality and plant growth. Possible mechanisms of the effect of soil temperature are discussed.     

Pigeonpea Nutrition and Its Improvement

Abstract

Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan [L.] Millsp.), known by several vernacular and trade names such as red gram, tuar, Angola pea, Congo pea, yellow dhal and oil dhal, is one of the major grain legume crops of the tropics and sub-tropics. It is a favorite crop of small holder dryland farmers because it can grow well under subsistence level of agriculture and provides nutritive food, fodder, and fuel wood. It also improves soil by fixing atmospheric nitrogen. India by far is the largest pigeonpea producer where it is consumed as decorticated split peas, popularly called as ‘dhal’ In other countries, its consumption as whole dry seed and green vegetable is popular. Its foliage is used as fodder and milling by-products form an excellent feed for domestic animals. Pigeonpea seeds contain about 20-22% protein and appreciable amounts of essential amino acids and minerals. Dehulling and boiling treatments of seeds get rid of the most antinutritional factors such as tannins and enzyme inhibitors. Seed storage causes considerable losses in the quality of this legume. The seed protein of pigeonpea has been successfully enhanced by breeding from 20-22% to 28-30%. Such lines also agronomically performed well and have acceptable seed size and color. The high-protein lines were found nutritionally superior to the cultivars because they would provide more quantities of utilizable protein and sulfur-containing amino acids.
