低钾胁迫下不同钾效率甘薯的钾吸收利用规律研究

以钾高效品种徐薯28和低效品种济薯22为材料,采用室内土培试验研究了不同施钾量下,甘薯钾的积累与分配及利用规律。结果显示:不施钾显著促进甘薯地上部生长,抑制块根膨大,但品种间变幅不同,钾高效型徐薯28具有更强的根系膨大能力。徐薯28苗期地上部钾浓度显著高于济薯22,叶片和叶柄钾含量分别比济薯22高33.1%、33.9%;但收获期徐薯28植株钾含量为8.7 g/kg,显著低于济薯22的9.8 g/kg。施钾或不施钾下,收获期徐薯28钾分配系数分别为4.2、3.2,济薯22分别为2.0、1.5,表明徐薯28将钾更多分配到块根部分,而济薯22更多分配到茎叶部分。各处理的块根钾利用效率(KIUE-T)为65.1~135.9,施钾及不施钾下,徐薯28块根钾利用效率都显著高于对应的济薯22处理。甘薯植株内钾含量高低是决定济薯22及徐薯28钾利用效率高低的关键因素。因此,两甘薯基因型间钾的利用效率差异主要体现在:徐薯28即使在不施钾下,苗期地上部尤其是茎叶能维持较高的钾含量,为后期块根膨大奠定基础,而收获期维持较高的钾分配系数及植株较低的钾浓度,而济薯22则相反。     

钾高效基因型棉花的筛选及其生理机制的研究

通过营养液培养,设缺K和适K处理,进行棉花苗期培养,以苗期干物质的K效率系数(-K/ K)评价K效率差异,从86个不同系谱的棉花品种中分次逐步筛选,获得4个候选品种.对候选品种进行全生育期土培试验,设施K和不施K处理,获得皮棉产量,以皮棉产量的K效率系数(-K/ K)来反映品种间的K效率差异,确定103为K高效高潜力基因型,122为K低效低潜力基因型,163和165为K高效低潜力基因型.103具有较强的吸收土壤速效K、活化土壤缓效K的能力,并以较低的K含量往繁殖器官运输分配,建成较多的子棉和皮棉,这可能是其K高效的机制之一.     

不同供钾水平下水稻钾素吸收利用与产量的基因型差异

通过田间试验研究了不同供钾水平对8个水稻品种钾紊吸收利用和稻谷产量的影响。研究结果表明，两种供钾水平下，水稻的稻谷产量、钾利用效率和各生育期地上部钾积累都存在显著的基因型差异。低钾胁迫显著降低水稻的稻谷产量和各生育期地上部钾积累量，显著提高水稻的钾利用效率。相关性分析表明．低钾胁迫下水稻生育前期（秧苗期＋分蘖期）地上部钾积累量以及生育中期（抽穗期）地上部钾积累量呈显著正相关；正常供钾条件下水稻生育前期地上部钾积累量呈显著正相关。因此筛选和培育具有较高钾利用效率和在生育前期具有较强钾索积累特性的水稻基因型可能是缓解南方水稻土钾素严重缺乏的有效途径之一。     

Effects of foliar Fe and Zn fertilizers on storage root Fe,Zn, and beta-carotene content of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.)

Foliar sprays of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) fertilizers are effective in improving Fe and Zn concentrations in sweet potato. The objective of this experiment was to examine the effects of foliar fertilization with Fe and Zn in association with amino acids (AA) on Fe and Zn biofortification and the nutritional quality of sweet potato under both greenhouse and field conditions. Compared with treatment CK, foliar Fe, Zn, and Fe-Zn fertilizer applications could biofortify Fe and Zn concentrations and other nutrients in sweet potato to different extents. However, when 0.4% (wt/vol) AA was added to Fe-Zn fertilizer, the average Fe and Zn concentrations were increased by 70.2% and 59.8% under greenhouse conditions, and 52.9% and 43.7% under field conditions, respectively. The Fe-Zn-AA fertilizer application also resulted in incremental increases in root yield and beta-carotene content. This research identified some useful foliar fertilizers for accelerating Fe and Zn accumulation in selected sweet potato cultivars.     

Characterization of root morphology and root-derived low molecular weight organic acids in two sweet potato cultivars exposed to cadmium

The mechanisms of low cadmium (Cd) accumulation in sweet potato cultivars are obscure. In this study, seedlings of a low-Cd (Nan88, N88) and a high-Cd cultivar (Xiang 16, X16) were grown in Hoagland’s solution containing Cd concentrations of 0 (control), 1 (Cd₁), and 10 µM (Cd₁₀) for 20 days. We analyzed the Cd accumulation, root morphology and low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs) excreted by the root tips (RTs). The total root length (RL) and specific root length (SRL) in X16 were greater than those in N88 following Cd treatments. In the Cd₁ treatment, RL and surface area for root diameter was ≤0.2 mm, and RTs in X16 were also greater than those in N88. LMWOAs excreted from the RTs initially increased and then decreased as Cd concentration increased. The RTs of N88 were more efficient at excreting organic acids than were those of X16. The low-Cd cultivar with lower RL and SRL displayed greater ability to excrete organic acids in Cd treatments, which can decrease Cd translocation from roots to shoots. Furthermore, root morphology and some LMWOAs released from the root tips played an important role in the differing rates of Cd accumulation in the two sweet potato cultivars.     

Potassium efficiency of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)

The oil crop safflower may have a certain production potential under low‐input conditions (organic farming, developing countries), where the putatively low nutrient requirement is highly welcomed. However, current knowledge regarding the nutrient use efficiency of safflower as compared to similar oil crops is limited. It was thus the aim of this study to determine the potassium (K) use efficiency of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) as compared to sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). Safflower and sunflower were cultivated with increasing K supply in a mixture of equal volumes of sand, nutrient‐poor limed soil, and perlite in 5 L Mitscherlich pots. Both species responded strongly to increasing K supply with respect to growth and yield. Safflower out‐yielded sunflower at low K supply, while at high K level, the opposite was observed. Both species accumulated similar amounts of K in shoots at low K supply. Only at extremely low K supply, safflower took up more K than sunflower. However, achene yield of sunflower exceeded that of safflower at optimal and high K supply. Safflower utilized absorbed K more efficiently than sunflower to produce achene yield at suboptimal K supply in terms of both efficiency ratio and utilization index. The efficiency of a crop to use supplied or accumulated K for dry‐matter and achene production was interpreted in terms of Michaelis‐Menten kinetics, specifically addressing the shape of the yield response curve. Indeed, the efficiency of safflower to use K for growth and yield, analogue to a low K_m in enzyme kinetics, was higher than in sunflower, while the K supply or K accumulation required to initiate yield formation in safflower was significantly lower. Similarly, safflower had a lower external K requirement for achene yield than sunflower at low and optimal K supplies. It can be concluded that safflower represents a low‐input crop and outperforms sunflower on soils low in available K. The data analysis also reveals that using just one efficiency indicator is usually not sufficient to adequately describe the K efficiency of the crop under consideration.     

Durum Wheat Genotypic Variation of Yield and Nitrogen use Efficiency and Its Components Under Different Water and Nitrogen Regimes in the Mediterranean Region

Farmers in dry areas of the Mediterranean region are reluctant to apply nitrogen (N) fertilizer to rainfed wheat because of frequent drought. So, it is desirable to select varieties with high nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). The objectives of this study, conducted in 2009/10 and 2010/11 in Syria, were to study the response of genotypes of durum wheat to low and high N applications and to evaluate the contribution of N uptake efficiency and utilization efficiency to NUE under rainfed and supplemental irrigation conditions. Under the rainfed regime, grain yield decreased significantly in year 1 and year 2 when applying N fertilizer at a high rate. The early maturing genotypes gave the highest average yields under rainfed and irrigated regimes. High N fertilizer rate decreased significantly NUE from 36.1 to 24.3 in year 1 and 37.0 to 5.8 in year 2. Under irrigation, NUE fell from 84.6 to 67.1 in year 1 and from 117.7 to 33.3 in year 2. The contribution of N uptake efficiency and utilization efficiency to NUE varied from one year to another. In year 1, the contribution of N utilization efficiency was more important at all nitrogen levels; while the opposite was observed in year 2 when more N was applied. The fractions of the genotype sum of squares, respectively, for N uptake efficiency and utilization efficiency were in average 0.15 and 0.78 in year 1 and 0.75 and 0.25 in year 2. From this study we conclude that high N levels in the soil exacerbate the effect of water stress on productivity and NUE of wheat. Early maturing new genotypes tend to be better adapted and to use nitrogen more efficiently under limited water conditions. N utilization efficiency contributes more to NUE under high N availability than N uptake efficiency and vice-versa.     

Exploration of bacterial N2-fixation systems in association with soil-grown sugarcane,sweet potato,and paddy rice: a review and synthesis

N₂ fixation systems in the nonleguminous crops and bacteria associations have been intensively studied over the last 50 years. Their structure and regulation have been investigated to explore the enhancement of N acquisition in these ecosystems leading to crop-growth with minimum chemical fertilizers. Several lines of important evidence have been accumulated indicating that the magnitudes of associative (nonsymbiotic) N₂ fixation in sugarcane (Saccharum spp.), sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.), and paddy rice (Oryza sativa L.) are agronomically significant. In these three crops, unique bacterial N₂-fixation systems may function in addition to the low-level activity (due to the competition in carbon/energy use) of the commonly occurring rhizosphere-associated system by free-living bacteria such as Beijerinckia, Azotobacter, and Klebsiella. Active expressions of the dinitrogenase reductase-encoded gene (nifH) phylogenetically similar to those of Bradyrhizobium spp. and Azorhizobium sp. were abundantly found in the N₂-fixing sugarcane stems, sweet potato stems, and storage tubers. These rhizobia micro-aerobically fix N₂ in the carbon compounds-rich apoplasts. Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus and Herbaspirillum spp. were previously isolated from inside the sugarcane stems, as the candidates of endophytic N₂ fixers. However, the current molecular and physiological investigations suggest that their major role is production of phytohormonal substances. In paddy rice fields, methane is produced from organic compounds in anoxia and oxidized by contacting with oxygen gas. An active N₂-fixation by methane-oxidizing methanotrophs such as Methylosinus sp. takes place in the root tissues (aerenchyma) and also in the surface soil. This methanotrophic N₂-fixation supports the sustainability of soil fertility although the N₂-fixation and soil fertility are affected by chemical fertilizers. Finally, we discuss the ecological implications of the newly identified rhizobia and methanotroph systems in the N nutrition in nonlegumes and N reservation in field environments.     

甘薯肌醇-1-磷酸合成酶基因的克隆及序列分析

甘薯(Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.)新品系农大603是从感茎线虫(Ditylenchus destructor)病品种徐薯18的辐照后代中获得的一个抗茎线虫病的突变体。以农大603和徐薯18块根的mRNA为模板，根据植物抗线虫病基因NBS保守氨基酸序列设计引物，进行 RT-PCR分析，发现农大603的肌醇-1-磷酸合成酶(Myo inositol-1-phosphate synthase , MIPS)基因的表达量高于徐薯18。采用3'RACE技术扩增出MIPS基因的3'末端cDNA。根据植物MIPS基因 5'端一段保守的氨基酸序列设计兼并引物，并与3'端的特异引物组合，扩增出该基因的5'端cDNA序列。DNA序列比对表明，甘薯MIPS基因与大豆(Glycine max)、番茄(Lycopersicon esculentum )的MIPS基因同源性较高，分别达83.63 %和83.89 %。甘薯MIPS基因全长cDNA的克隆，有利于进一步研究该基因与抗甘薯茎线虫病的关系。     

不同生育期干旱胁迫条件下施钾对水稻生理性状和产量的影响

明确不同生育时期干旱胁迫对水稻影响与钾素调控干旱胁迫机制，可为水稻的钾素管理和节水抗旱提供理论依据。采用不同时期水分和钾素管理两因素盆栽试验，设置施钾（+K）、不施钾（-K）两个钾肥处理；有效分蘖期干旱胁迫（TD）、孕穗期干旱胁迫（BD）、灌浆期干旱胁迫（MD）和正常灌溉（WW）四个水分处理，分析在不同生育期干旱胁迫钾肥对水稻产量和生理性状的影响。结果表明：干旱胁迫显著降低了稻谷产量，TD、BD、MD处理相较于WW处理，在-K条件下稻谷分别减产53.9%、45.2%、7.6%；而在+K条件下稻谷分别减产28.3%、16.5%和5.9%，不同生育期的干旱胁迫对产量的影响程度为：TD>BD>MD，且缺钾加剧了水分亏缺的负面影响。同时，干旱胁迫也造成冠层蒸腾速率、叶水势和叶片净光合速率下降，减少干物质积累，TD、BD处理相较于WW处理，叶片生物量分别平均降低42.9%、31.2%；茎鞘生物量分别降低43.8%和38.0%。不同生育期水分亏缺对生物量的影响为：TD＞BD。而缺钾不仅造成净光合速率下降，也使叶面积和叶绿素含量降低，植株截获光辐射能力显著下降，干物质积累量减少，相较于+K处理，TD、BD及相应同时期WW处理的叶片生物量在缺钾条件下分别降低52.6%、32.7%、42.1%、31.2%，茎鞘生物量分别降低55.3%、63.6%、52.2%、28.0%，干旱胁迫加剧缺钾的消极影响。综上，干旱胁迫会降低净光合速率与叶水势，造成水稻减产，其中有效分蘖期和孕穗期的减产效应较灌浆期明显；缺钾不仅降低叶片净光合速率，也减少叶面积与叶绿素含量，水稻同化积累物质能力下降，抗旱性显著降低。     

甘薯茎线虫诱导抑制差减杂交cDNA文库的构建及表达序列标签分析

以甘薯(Ipomoea batatas(L.)Lam.)抗茎线虫病品种鲁薯3号为材料,利用抑制差减杂交(suppression subtractive hybridization,SSH)技术,构建了甘薯茎线虫诱导的甘薯块根cDNA文库.从中筛选出1379个阳性克隆进行测序,用CAP3软件聚类拼接,得到185个unique EST.Blast2Go比对ESTs,并进行GO功能分类,结果发现151条非重复序列与已知基因同源性很高,占全部非重复序列的81.6%.已知功能的EST涉及植物的能量代谢、信号转导、抗病防卫、蛋白质合成等多方面.通过对已知功能的基因进行分析,推测促分裂原活化蛋白激酶、丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶、过氧化氢酶、几丁质酶、葡聚糖酶等可能参与甘薯接种茎线虫后相关的抗性反应.实时荧光定量PCR分析结果表明,与抗茎线虫病相关的4个基因在甘薯接种线虫后不同时间点具有不同的表达模式.     

不同供磷水平下水稻磷素吸收利用和产量的基因型差异

通过田间试验研究了不同供磷水平对8个水稻品种磷素吸收利用和稻谷产量的影响。研究结果表明,两种供磷水平下,水稻的稻谷产量、磷利用效率和各生育期地上部磷积累都存在显著的基因型差异。低磷胁迫显著降低水稻的稻谷产量和各生育期地上部磷积累,显著提高水稻的磷利用效率。相关性分析表明,低磷胁迫下水稻稻谷产量与水稻磷利用效率、生育前期(秧苗期+分蘖期)地上部磷积累以及生育中期(抽穗期)地上部磷积累呈显著正相关(p<0. 05);正常供磷条件下水稻稻谷产量与磷利用效率、生育前期地上部磷积累呈显著正相关(p<0. 05)。因此筛选和培育具有较高磷利用效率和在生育前期具有较强磷素积累特性的水稻基因型可能是缓解南方水稻土磷素严重缺乏的有效途径之一。     

钾肥和营养调节剂对烤烟含钾量及重金属含量的效应研究

通过田间试验,采用二元二次饱和D-最优设计,研究了钾肥与营养调节剂(NR)对烤烟产量、含钾量和重金属Cu、Zn、Cd、Pb含量的影响,并对烤烟中重金属Cd、Pb的潜在危害性进行了初步评估。结果表明:钾肥和营养调节剂(NR)配合施用能够显著提高烤烟的产量和含钾量,其中施高量钾并配施较高量NR的处理5效果最佳,与单施低量钾的处理1相比,产量增加了29.03%,上、中、下各部位烤烟含钾量分别增加了109.09%、115.54%和86.29%;钾肥配施营养调节剂(NR)有效地降低了烤烟重金属Cu、Zn、Cd、Pb含量,其中施较高用量钾并配施高量NR的处理6降低效果最明显,与单施低量钾的处理1相比,分别降低了27.30%,9.74%,34.46%,39.01%。供试烟区中烤烟重金属Cd、Pb的人均日暴露量都低于FAO/WHO规定的允许摄入量(ADI值),施用营养调节剂降低了烤烟重金属Cd、Pb人均日暴露量,从而降低了烤烟中重金属对人体的潜在危害性。     

Silicon Effect on Nutrient Acquisition of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Under Aluminum Stress

Aluminum (Al) toxicity represents one of the main yield-limiting factors for crops in acid soils. Silicon (Si) is known to increase tolerance in higher plants. This study was conducted to determine whether treatment with Si could improve nutrient uptake by peanut under Al stress. Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L. cv Zhonghua 4) was raised with or without Si (1.5 mM) in the growth chamber under 0 and toxic Al (0.3 mM) levels. Aluminum stress significantly decreased the root- and total-dry weight by 52.4% and 32.0%, respectively. The content of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) was significantly decreased, but that of Al increased markedly in shoots and roots after Al exposure at seedling, flower-needle, and pod-setting stage. Silicon alleviates Al toxicity in peanut plants in relation to Al distribution and allocation of tissue P, K, Ca, and Mg by favoring the partitioning of dry mass to roots.     

Influence of Salicylic Acid and Jasmonic Acid on Wheat Under Drought Stress

Salicylic acid and jasmonic acid play an important role in plants coping with abiotic stresses. An experiment was conducted to examine the effect of salicylic acid and jasmonic acid on wheat under drought. Seeds were primed with jasmonic acid (100µM) and salicylic acid (10 Mm). Water stress was applied by withholding water and each treatment was replicated three times with a factorial block design. Application of Salicylic acid and Jasmonic acid mitigated drought effects in wheat. Results revealed that 100µM Jasmonic acid was more effective than 10 mM SA. Drought decreased germination by 26%, whereas application of Jasmonic acid and Salicylic acid ameliorated stress with the increase of germination by 27% and 21%, respectively. An increase in the shoot length of 23% and 20% was observed with Jasmonic acid and Salicylic acid, under drought conditions. The increase in water potential was 60% and 47% with JA and SA while the increase in proline and soluble sugar was 14% and 25% respectively. The application of Jasmonic acid and Salicylic acid has a potential to enhance the growth of wheat plants under drought.     

Salt Tolerance and K/Na Ratio of Some Introduced Forage Grass Species Under Salinity Stress in Irrigated Areas

Salinity is a limiting factor for forage productivity in irrigated areas. The aim of this study was to evaluate the salt tolerance index (STI), the K/Na ratio, and the forage quality of several introduced cool season grass species in irrigated agriculture. Four irrigated water salinity concentrations were used (control, 4000, 8000, and 12000 ppm sodium chloride (NaCl)), and four grass cultivars belonging to three species were established under greenhouse conditions at the Qassim University Agricultural Research and Experimental Station during the 2012 and 2013 growing seasons (perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L., cvs. Aries and Quartet), endophyte-free tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb., cv. Fawn), and orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L., cv. Tekapo)). A randomized complete block design (RCBD) using three replications was used. Cultivars were evaluated based on their dry weights (g m^?2) and forage quality. Additionally, the STI and potassium (K⁺) and sodium (Na⁺) concentrations in the studied grass cultivars were evaluated. The dry weights of the grasses decreased significantly as the salinity level of the irrigation water increased. At a salinity of 4000 ppm, the Aries perennial ryegrass had the highest dry weight at both sample cuttings. The Aries, Fawn, and Quartet grasses had the highest STI values. The percent of K⁺ and the K/Na ratio increased as the salinity of the irrigation water increased for the Fawn tall fescue and Quartet perennial ryegrass. In the previously cultivars, the percentage of Na⁺ decreased as the salinity level of the irrigation water increased, which was in contrast with the results observed for the Tekapo orchardgrass.     

Effect of Green Waste Compost and Mycorrhizal Fungi on Calcium,Potassium, and Sodium Uptake of Woody Plants Grown Under Salt Stress

Sodium chloride is the most often used chemical to malt ice and snow on the roads and has negative effects on the roadside environment. Searching for ways to improve the conditions for growth of trees and shrubs near the roads becomes an urgent matter. One such method of improving growth conditions for plants under salinity might be to use organic matter (green waste compost) and mycorrhizal fungi. This study studied the effect of application in soil different salts on several trees and shrubs growth in growing media. Also, effect of green waste compost and arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) added to the growing medium was evaluated in terms of growth and K⁺, Ca⁺², and Na⁺ uptake. The highest pH of the growing medium was noted when sodium carbonate was used. The pH ranged from 8.7 to 9.0 after eight doses of sodium carbonate. The pH of the growing medium was also significantly higher regardless of whether or not green waste compost or mycorrhizal fungi were used. The type of growing medium had a great effect on the growth of most of the trees, but among shrubs the growing medium was only important for Cornus alba, Sambucus nigra, and Spiraea vanhouttei. Growth of all these plants was much better under salinity when green waste compost or green waste compost with AM fungi was used. In all the cases, when salinity of the growing medium retarded growth of trees and shrubs, sodium chloride was the compound that had the strongest growth retarding effect. Leaf ionic composition was significantly affected by salinity in the growing medium, and in some cases also by micorhizal fungi. The type of growing medium had various effects on sodium uptake, depending on species. In most cases, the addition of green waste compost to the growing medium caused a greater amount of sodium in the leaves of tested plants. The use of mycorrhizal fungi had no effect on the uptake of sodium, compared to the control plants (without AM fungi).     

不同覆盖对夏玉米叶片光合和水分利用效率日变化的影响

在中国气象局农业气象试验基地,对留残茬和秸秆覆盖措施下夏玉米叶片光合作用和叶片水平上的水分利用效率进行了试验研究,以探索夏玉米在这两种方式下的节水抗旱高产的生理生态机制。试验结果表明:光合速率日变化差异主要表现在上午;下午虽不甚明显,但也是覆盖和残茬两个处理略高于对照,说明2种土表覆盖方式促进了该时段光合速率的提高。留残茬和覆盖能明显提高夏玉米叶片水平上的水分利用效率,尤其在下午表现更为明显,最终提高产量水平上的水分利用效率,使农田的光、温和水资源得以科学有效地利用。     

Macronutrient Balance of Nickel-Stressed Lettuce Plants Grown under Different Sulfur Levels

This study investigated whether intensive nutrition with sulfur–sulfate (S-SO₄) (2, 6, or 9 mM S) of nickel-stressed (0, 0.0004, 0.04, or 0.08 mM Ni) butterhead lettuce cv. Justyna may improve macronutrient balance and reduce Ni bioaccumulation. Nickel exposure resulted in various unfavorable changes in the macronutrient content together with increase of Ni accumulation in the biomass. Intensive S nutrition of Ni-treated lettuce seems to have no beneficial effect on macronutrient balance. In general, it significantly reduced the root and foliar phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and S content and simultaneously did not affect the magnesium (Mg) content in the biomass. At the same time, the nitrogen (N) content was reduced in roots and elevated in shoots. Supplementation of Ni-exposed lettuce with high S doses raised in roots and reduced foliar Ni accumulation; however, Ni content in useable parts exceeded the acceptable limits established for consumption.
