Summary Allelopathy includes both positive and negative effects of one plant on the other through environment, though most of the studies seem to focus on its deleterious impacts. It plays a key role in both natural and managed ecosystems. In agroecosystems, several weeds, crops, agroforestry trees and fruit trees have been shown to exert allelopathic influence on the crops, thus, affecting their germination and growth adversely. Some of the agricultural and horticultural crops affect their own seedlings grown in succession which is commonly known as replant problem/syndrome. Available studies indicate that allelochemicals act via bringing certain changes in physiological functions like respiration, photosynthesis and ion uptake. These, in turn, result in visible changes in seed germination, further growth reduction and overall performance of the target plants. The studies on interplant interactions assume significance in agroforestry programmes for selecting the types of crops complementary to the selective tree species. In the recent past, however, scientific attention has also been drawn to exploit the positive significant roles this phenomenon can play in enhancing crop productivity. In this context, we discuss the tremendous scope of allelopathy towards weed and pest management, apart from nitrogen conservation, and synthesis of novel agrochemicals based on natural product chemistry. The use of natural products of plant or microbial origin as pesticides/herbicides have gained much attention of the scientists as they offer many advantages over synthetic chemicals. The production of such chemicals should be enhanced by devising suitable protocols based on biotechnological procedures for their widespread utilization. 相似文献

SUMMARY Over the course of millennia and most dramatically in recent years, agriculture has eroded natural capital as it has supplied human demands. These tendencies can be offset by infusions of fossil fuels for fertility, pest control and traction, but only partially and not over the long term. This could be called the “problem of agriculture,” in contrast to problems in agriculture. Natural ecosystems are unmatched for efficient nutrient recycling, solar energy use, and biodiversity preservation, but they cannot feed dense human populations. An ecological agriculture that is a synthesis of natural and agricultural systems can save soils from erosion and reduce chemical and water use. Reducing chemical pollution of air, water and soils will conserve wildlife habitat, improve water quantity and quality and protect human health. By practicing an agriculture that has conservation as a direct result, farmers can become better stewards of the land. Lower input costs and inherent sustained soil fertility will mean more profit for farmers and communities. Principles of natural systems agriculture (NSA) are applicable to any food- or fiber-production system worldwide. In the central Great Plains of the United States, agriculture should mimic the native prairie, which is a polyculture of herbaceous perennial plants. The Land Institute has spent 25 years studying the structure and function of prairies. Now we and other research organizations are breeding perennial grain crops, including cool- and warm-season grasses, legumes, and composites. We are following two parallel strategies: selecting wild perennials for greater seed production and other traits of domestication and hybridizing wild perennials with annual crops to combine desired traits. Although the breeding process will take many years, the effort will be repaid many times over if we achieve our goal: a lasting solution to the 10,000-year-old problem of agriculture. 相似文献

Summary Courses and curricula in agriculture are traditionally organized within disciplinary boundaries, while study of integrated systems has been confined to aggregation of components and often superficial analysis. Agroecology is emerging as an integrative field that expands our focus to embrace the broad complexities of agricultural production and the entire food system. Education in agroecology must provide the skills and knowledge needed to design and evaluate new systems, as well as the capacity to vision into the future and anticipate the impacts of systems as well as new challenges that will face humanity. Agricultural universities need to be organized to prepare students to meet these increasingly complex challenges in the food and natural resource arena. Agroecology courses can build awareness and competence in using ecological principles to inform the design of future systems that are productive, economically sound, environmentally sustainable, and socially viable for the indefinite future. A model program in the Nordic region is presented as an example of one innovative curriculum. Study of the ecology of food systems can put natural resource, human population, and agricultural production into a balanced perspective that can guide our research and development efforts toward a sustainable food system for the future. 相似文献

Yunnan Province of China is one of the important centers for origin and evolution of cultivated rice worldwide.Wild rice is the ancestor of the cultivated rice.Many elite traits of wild rice have widened the genetic basis in cultivated rice.However,many populations of wild rice species have disappeared in the past few years.Therefore,the current status of wild rice resources should be updated and the genetic diversity of wild rice species should be examined for further germplasm preservation and utilization.Our investigations showed that the number of natural wild rice populations declined sharply in Yunnan Province during the past few years due to various reasons.Fortunately,one population of Oryza rufipogon,three of O.officinalis and ten of O.granulata have been newly found in different ecological sites,which were confirmed by inter-simple sequence repeat(ISSR) marker analysis in this study.ISSR analysis and investigation of some important traits of nutritional values indicated that the genetic diversity of the currently existing wild rice resources in Yunnan is still rich.The demonstration of genetic diversity of wild rice by a combined use of geographical distribution,morphological traits,nutrition contents and ISSR markers would be helpful for the conservation and exploration of these important wild rice resources. 相似文献

Summary Soil organisms are a diverse group that can influence the nutrient dynamics in temperate agroecosystems profoundly. Many organisms interact in a symbiotic or mutualistic way with plants, and these relationships have co-evolved, permitting plants and soil organisms to flourish in the soil environment. Numerous controlled lab or small plot-scale studies have demonstrated that soil organisms can mobilize or transfer substantial quantities of nutrients to crops, in relationship to crop requirements. However, the simple scaling up of such results to explain conditions on a large field scale is very much constrained by a lack of information on the spatio-temporal distribution of soil organisms in temperate agroecosystems. The numbers, diversity and activity of soil organisms in temperate agroecosystems are affected by agricultural management practices such as tillage operations, but our knowledge of the key organisms or groups of organisms that contribute to nutrient cycling and crop production under different sets of management practices is limited. Better management of nutrients in temperate agroecosystems requires better knowledge of soil biota, their effects on nutrient cycling and their contribution to crop production. 相似文献

In this review, we aim to explore the potential of microalgal biodiversity and ecology for biotechnological use. A deeper exploration of the biodiversity richness and ecophysiological properties of microalgae is crucial for enhancing their use for applicative purposes. After describing the actual biotechnological use of microalgae, we consider the multiple faces of taxonomical, morphological, functional and ecophysiological biodiversity of these organisms, and investigate how these properties could better serve the biotechnological field. Lastly, we propose new approaches to enhancing microalgal growth, photosynthesis, and synthesis of valuable products used in biotechnological fields, mainly focusing on culture conditions, especially light manipulations and genetic modifications. 相似文献

云南古茶树(园)遗传多样性的ISSR分析 总被引:12,自引:1,他引:11
云南省保存有20多万亩古茶园,这些古茶树(阿萨姆变种Camellia sinensis var. assamica)种质资源可能含有各种优良基因,对未来茶树良种选育有重要意义。本研究采用ISSR分子标记技术对云南省十个有代表性的古茶园遗传多样性进行分析,十个居群的多态位点百分率(P)为56.5%~90.9%;Nei’氏遗传距离(He)居群平均是0.281,阿萨姆变种水平内是0.461;Shannon多样性指数(Ho)居群平均是0.418,阿萨姆变种水平内是0.653。而居群间遗传分化系数Gst=0.391,和Shannon多样性指数分析(36.0%)和AMOVA分析结果(39.7%)相一致,说明阿萨姆变种60.9%的遗传变异来自居群內的个体间,39.1%的遗传变异来自居群间。研究结果揭示阿萨姆变种居群遗传多样性高,居群间遗传变异存在中度的遗传分化,这可能是由于茶树种内高度异交的特性和生境片段化所致。基于观察到的居群遗传信息,建议采取就地保护和迁地保护的保护策略。 相似文献
