Hyperspectral Models for Estimating SPAD Value of Cotton Leaves under Waterlogging Stress

[Object] To setup the hyperspectral sensing models for estimating SPAD value of cotton leaves under waterlogging stress. [Method] Irrigation and drainage controllable plots were introduced to simulate the waterlogging stress treatment in the flowering and boll forming stage, during which the change characteristics of the cotton leaf spectral reflectance and SPAD value were observed after 1 d, 3 d, 6 d, 9 d waterlogging, respectively. To find out the hyperspectral sensing models for estimating SPAD value of cotton leaves under waterlogging stress, the correlation and regression relationships between SPAD value and spectrum parameters were analyzed. [Result] (1) The SPAD value of the fourth cotton leaf from the top was significantly lower than control when suffers from waterlogging for 3 d, when waterlogged 9 d the SPAD value decreased by around 15% compared with the control. (2) The cotton suffering from waterlogged damage in the flowering and boll forming stage caused the reflection peak in green light wave band became steep, while the near infrared spectral reflectance increased, and caused the reduction of red absorption and red edge position "blue shifts", the red edge position drifts towards short wave with 4～5 nm when suffers from waterlogging for 9 d. With increase of the waterlogged days, the red edge slope and red edge area increased with a maximum value at 6 d of waterlogging, meanwhile, the skewness and kurtosis of red edge increased. (3) After waterlogging, the SPAD value of the fourth cotton leaf from the top (chlorophyll content) had a remarkable correlation with red edge slope(Dr), red edge position(λr), green peak reflection(Rg), green peak position(λg), red well position(λo), blue edge area(SDb), yellow edge skewness(Sy), yellow edge kurtosis(Ky), red edge skewness(Sr), red edge kurtosis(Kr), etc. An experience linear, polynomial and exponential models for estimating SPAD value had been built through using the Sy, Sr, Kr as independent variables, respectively, their determination coefficient (R²) were greater than 0.9, and the root mean square error (RMSE) were less than 1; and an experience binary linear regression equation for estimating SPAD value had been built through multivariate regression using the λg, SDr/SDb(VI3), Sb, Sy, Ky as independent variables, the R² was as high as 0.973, and the RMSE was 0.393. [Conclusion] The model can be remote sensing model used as estimating leaf SPAD of cotton value under waterlogging stress.     

Effect of waterlogging stress on grain nutritional quality and pod yield of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)

To investigate the effects of waterlogging stress on grain nutritional quality and pod yield, peanut plants were waterlogged for 3 and 6 days at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56 and 63 days after gynophores touched the ground in 2019 and 2020. Results revealed that compared with the control treatment, the oil and starch content in grain increased, while crude protein and soluble sugar content decreased under waterlogging. Waterlogging stress increased the unsaturated fatty acids content but decreased the saturated fatty acids, essential amino acids, non-essential amino acids and total amino acids content. In addition, waterlogging stress decreased the total pod number per plant by 6.78%–49.33%, 100-pod weight by 1.11%–14.08% and 100-grain weight by 1.85%–16.41%, which caused a 34.33%–55.90% reduction in pod yield per plant. After the gynophore touched the ground for 7 days, waterlogging had a greater negative effect on grain nutritional quality, and longer waterlogging duration led to greater yield reduction. In summary, waterlogging stress caused peanut yield reduction and grain quality deterioration.     

花生生育早期耐涝性室内鉴定对大田期的意义

为探索花生不同品种生育早期耐涝性差异及与大田耐涝性的关系,对8个品种的种子进行室内180 h浅、深水处理,对幼苗进行10 d淹涝和大田短（10 d）、长期（88 d）湿涝,测定发芽能力、幼苗生长发育和乙醇脱氢酶（ADH）活性、大田湿涝产量（WY10、WY88）和产量耐性系数（WTC10、WTC88）。结果表明,(1)花生对淹涝较敏感,其耐涝性因淹涝时期、程度（水深）和品种而异。浅涝时种子先露尖而后发芽;深涝时只露尖而不能形成幼芽。不同品种发芽期耐涝性差异较大。幼苗的根部受害程度远甚于地上部,根色、根重是不同品种耐性差异的主要表征指标。(2)花生幼苗根系ADH活性受淹涝即厌氧诱导的效应极为明显,其中淹涝3~10 d的ADH活性与耐涝性负相关,尤其是淹涝10 d后ADH活性高的品种,植株发育不良。(3)与大田所有产量耐涝性指标的相关性,ADH活性、根色均为负相关,单株根重、单株地上部重、单株总重则为正相关,尤其是根重与WY10 2年均呈显著正相关。(4)耐涝性鉴定时间,在发芽期浅、深水中分别以180、120 h为宜,幼苗期以3~10 d为宜。因此,花生生育早期耐涝性室内鉴定对大田期有重要参考价值。

以抗涝基因型河南1号与不抗涝基因型冀芝1号为试验材料,研究了在不同生育时期渍涝对不同基因型芝麻生理指标和产量性状的影响。研究结果表明,在渍水条件下芝麻的生长速率明显减慢;比叶重下降,在盛花期淹水后相对受害率最大;叶绿素含量均下降;受渍涝伤害的芝麻根系TTC还原强度急剧下降,淹水处理与对照相比差异均达到极显著水平(P<0.01);渍水条件下的单株结蒴数、每蒴粒数、单株千粒重、单株产量均较对照有不同程度的降低,单株秕粒率较对照升高。     

渍涝与干旱对不同转Bt基因抗虫棉的影响

对 3个转 Bt基因棉花品种的研究表明 ,花铃期田间渍涝显著降低皮棉产量和棉株内的 Bt蛋白含量。积水后棉花主茎功能叶和幼蕾的 Bt蛋白含量平均分别比对照降低 2 7.7%和 2 9.9% ,主茎下部老叶的 Bt蛋白含量仅降低 6 .6 % ,说明渍涝对生长旺盛器官 Bt蛋白合成的影响远远大于衰老器官。干旱对棉株内 Bt蛋白合成的抑制更强 ,当花铃期干旱使棉叶致萎时 ,主茎下部老叶、幼蕾和主茎功能叶的 Bt蛋白含量分别降低了52 .9%、3 7.0 %和 3 0 .0 %。为充分发挥和利用转Bt基因棉花品种的产量与抗虫潜力 ,棉花生长发育的关键时期应尽量避免缺水干旱 ,及时排除田间积水 ,防止渍涝危害     

Low Incident Light Combined with Partial Waterlogging Impairs Photosynthesis and Imposes a Yield Penalty in Cotton

Through field studies, cotton responses to dual stresses – waterlogging and low light (shade) were investigated. The hypothesis was that shade would amplify yield losses in waterlogged (WL) cotton. Either early or late in the reproductive phase, the crop was WL (96 h and 120 h, in 2012–2013 and 2013–2014, respectively) and/or shaded (6 days or 9 days in 2012–2013 and 2013–2014, respectively). Waterlogging at early reproductive phase significantly reduced lint yield (17 % averaged across both years) of cotton, although shade‐induced yield losses (18 %) were only significant in 2013–2014. Shade significantly exacerbated yield losses only when the impact of waterlogging damage was modest (2013–2014). More intense waterlogging impaired lint yield independently of the light levels. Yield reductions in these experiments were the consequence of both accelerated fruit abscission and fewer fruiting nodes produced. Plants had lower leaf nitrogen levels and photosynthetic rates after waterlogging and/or shade treatments and produced fewer fruiting nodes. Although long‐term shade increased specific leaf area (30 %) and leaf N (20 %) immediately following 5 days of waterlogging, it did not restore shoot growth, node formation or lint yield because of suppressed photosynthetic performance (area basis) and carbohydrate supply.     

植物响应淹水胁迫的研究进展

淹水胁迫是影响植物分布与生长发育的重要因素,植物耐涝性研究是提高作物耐涝性以应对日益严峻的极端气候及规模化生产管理的关键。为了合理开展植物耐涝性研究,深入挖掘不同植物响应淹水胁迫的调控机理,本文归纳了淹水胁迫对植物生长发育的影响,总结了植物响应淹水胁迫的调节机制,并详细分析了淹水胁迫对植物表型性状、生物量、光合作用、活性氧离子积累、糖含量和生物膜的影响,以及乙烯信号分子、活性氧清除机制、渗透调节、形态调节、分子和代谢调控在植物响应淹水胁迫中的调节机制。最后,通过总结,提出了合理开发外源调节物质提高作物耐涝性值得进一步的深入研究。     

盐渍和涝渍对棉苗生长和叶片某些生理性状的复合效应

 以陆地棉鲁棉研17和鲁棉研28为材料,以无盐正常供水为对照,研究了在盐渍、涝渍和盐涝复合胁迫14 d后棉苗干物质积累、叶片光合速率、叶绿素荧光参数和叶绿素含量等的变化。结果表明,盐渍、涝渍和盐涝复合胁迫都显著影响两个品种的光合速率和干物质积累。盐渍对棉苗的影响程度小于涝渍,而涝渍又小于盐涝复合胁迫,盐涝双重胁迫对棉苗生长和干物质积累的抑制表现出累加效应。盐渍胁迫下叶绿素含量的下降是光合作用受抑制的重要原因,而涝渍和盐涝胁迫下光合速率下降可能是叶绿体结构和PSⅡ稳定性的下降引起的。     

棉花对淹水胁迫的适应机制

淹涝是造成棉花减产的重要灾害因素。在淹水胁迫下,棉花的生长发育会受到不利影响,中、重度持续淹水还会引起棉花减产甚至绝产。但是,棉株自身具有完整的适应保护机制,遭受淹水胁迫后通过启动逃避机制、静止适应机制和再生调节补偿机制,适应淹水胁迫、减少涝害损失。本文重点就棉花对淹水胁迫的3个适应机制进行了详细论述,就淹水胁迫对棉花生长发育、生理特性和产量性状的影响以及缓解棉花淹水伤害的主要措施与方法也作了简要评述。     

Leaf carbohydrates assimilation and metabolism affect seed yield of rapeseed with different waterlogging tolerance under the interactive effects of nitrogen and waterlogging

Waterlogging is a main factor causing rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) yield loss, and reasonable nitrogen (N) applications can compensate for this loss. To investigate the effects of N rates on seed yield of waterlogged rapeseed, the waterlogging-tolerant rapeseed variety ZS 9 and sensitive variety GH01 were waterlogged for 0 and 10 days with five leaves at the seedling stage under four N rates (0, 90, 180 and 270 kg/ha). Waterlogging significantly decreased seed yield, while N application can alleviate the yield loss. The yield decrease rate of waterlogged GH01 was greater than that of ZS 9 under the same N rate. During the seedling and bolting stage, the leaf photosynthetic rate (Pn) and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) activity increased, while activities of adenosine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase), sucrose synthase (SuSy) and sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) decreased with more N under the same watering conditions. Compared to the plants without waterlogging, the leaf Pn and Rubisco activity, starch and sucrose contents of waterlogged rapeseed decreased at the two stages; activities of AGPase, SuSy and SPS of waterlogged rapeseed decreased at the seedling while increased at the bolting stage for both the two varieties. At the flowering stage, the Pn, the activities of Rubisco, AGPase, SuSy, SPS and contents of sucrose, starch increased with more N application for both ZS 9 and GH01. Compared to the plants without waterlogging, the Pn and Rubisco activity for waterlogged plants of the two varieties increased; the waterlogged plants of tolerant variety had higher activities of AGPase, SuSy and SPS, while those of sensitive variety was significantly lower. However, the decreased starch and sucrose content were found in both tolerant and sensitive varieties. The activities of AGPase, SuSy and SPS at flowering were highly positively correlated with yield under the interactive effects of N and waterlogging. These results suggested that the flowering stage is the most important stage that N had the positive regulation on waterlogged rapeseed growth. The carbohydrates translocation from leaves to seeds of the tolerant variety were enhanced after waterlogging, while that of the sensitive variety was still inhibited. This was the main reason for the difference in yield between the two waterlogged varieties.     

Physiological response of ‘Larry Ann’ plums to cold storage and 1-MCP treatment

The aim of this work was to study the specific effects of low temperature and 1-MCP treatment on ethylene metabolism and oxidative behaviour in plums (Prunus × salicina cv. Larry Ann). Control fruit were stored at 20 °C or 0 °C and the 1-MCP (625 nL L^?1) treated fruit at 0 °C. Changes in the kinetics of ethylene production upon removal were related to changes in ACC metabolism (ACC and MACC levels), oxidative behaviour (H₂O₂ content) and enzymatic antioxidant potential (SOD, CAT and POX enzymes) during cold storage. Low temperature stress inhibited the synthesis of MACC, which appeared to be the basic process that regulated ACC and ethylene production at ambient temperature. Although 1-MCP treatment inhibited ethylene production and ACC accumulation in the cold, it did not inhibit the accumulation of MACC. Neither cold nor 1-MCP treatment induced oxidative stress. Nevertheless, the 1-MCP treatment significantly impaired the increase in POX activity observed during cold storage. Collectively these results showed the underlying role that ACC metabolism plays in the ripening behaviour of cold-stored plums, confirming previous results. The results also indicate that MACC and malonyl transferase activity are the key regulatory factors that control ripening and possibly some ethylene-related disorders such as chilling injury in cold-stored plums.     

Effects of Population Density of Bolboschoenus planiculmis on the Absorption and Accumulation of Cotton Nutrients

[Objective] The aim of this study is to clarify the competition of the absorption and accumulation of nutrients in cotton by the Bolboschoenus planiculmis (F. Schmidt) T. V. Egorova. [Method] In this experiment, the population densities of B. planiculmis were set at 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 plant·m^－2. The contents of phosphorus, potassium, nitrate nitrogen, soluble sugar and soluble protein in cotton seedling stage, bud stage and flowering and boll stage were detected to study the effect of population density of B. planiculmis on the nutrient absorption and accumulation of cotton. [Result] At the cotton seedling stage, when the population density of B. planiculmis was 20 plants·m^－2, the soluble protein content of cotton leaves increased significiantly (P＜0.05) compared with the CK, but there was no significant difference in other indicators. However, the higher population density of B. planiculmis could reduce the soluble protein content of cotton leaves and increase the soluble sugar content of cotton leaves. At the cotton bud stage, when the population density of B. planiculmis was lower than 40 plants·m^－2, the phosphorus content in cotton leaves increased significantly. At the cotton boll stage, the population density of all B. planiculmis populations could reduce the content of potassium and soluble sugar in cotton leaves. When the population density of B. planiculmis was 20 plants·m^－2, no significant effects were found on cotton yield. But under other population densities, the cotton yield was significantly reduced. [Conclusion] When the population density of B. planiculmis was higher than 20 plants·m^－2, significant effects were found on the absorption and accumulation of cotton nutrients and cotton yield.

Waterlogging events during stem elongation or flowering affect yield of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) but not seed quality

Oilseed rape suffers from serious waterlogging in many regions of the world limiting the cultivation area for rapeseed. Due to the man‐induced climate change, the risk of severe waterlogging events and associated therewith the damage of rapeseed plants will increase, even in Europe and North America. To investigate the effects of waterlogging on growth, yield and seed quality, rapeseed was cultivated throughout its vegetation period and waterlogged for 14 days at two different growth stages: at stem elongation (BBCH 31) or at floral bud appearance (BBCH 55). The experiments revealed that waterlogging at BBCH 31 affected plant growth and nutrient accumulation and finally resulted in lower yields. Waterlogging at BBCH 55 seriously impaired main racemes, but due to an increased production of secondary racemes, yield losses were lower than after waterlogging at BBCH 31. Oil quality was not affected by any waterlogging treatment under the chosen experimental conditions.

Spraying exogenous synthetic cytokinin 6‐benzyladenine following the waterlogging improves grain growth of waterlogged maize in the field

6‐Benzyladenine (6‐BA, a synthetic cytokinin) could improve the ability to resist adversity. However, very little attention has been given to its role in alleviating waterlogging damages on grain growth. A field experiment was performed to investigate effects of exogenous 6‐BA after waterlogging for 6 days at the third leaf stage (V3‐WL + 6‐BA) or the sixth leaf stage (V6‐WL + 6‐BA) on grain filling, and endogenous hormone of summer maize hybrids DengHai605 (DH605) and ZhengDan958 (ZD958), which were planted popularly in China. Exogenous 6‐BA alleviated waterlogging damages on grain filling by improving grain weight and volume, which was beneficial to yield increase. Grain yield of DH605 under V3‐WL + 6‐BA and V6‐WL + 6‐BA increased by 16% and 12%, respectively, compared with that of V3‐WL (waterlogging at the third leaf stage) and V6‐WL (waterlogging at the sixth leaf stage), while the corresponding values for ZD958 increased by 20% and 15%, respectively. Moreover, exogenous 6‐BA alleviated waterlogging damages on grain endogenous hormone content by increasing levels of endogenous indole‐3‐acetic acid, zeatin riboside, and gibberellic acid, and decreasing level of abscisic acid in grain of waterlogged summer maize during grain‐filling periods. Clearly, exogenous 6‐BA improved grain‐filling characteristics, and endogenous hormone, resulting in a significant yield increase of waterlogged summer maize.     

Specific response of apple skin and pulp tissues to cold stress and 1-MCP treatment

It is now widely accepted that 1-MCP reduces ethylene production and prevents scald disorder in apple skin tissue. However, despite this beneficial effect, very little is known about the effects of 1-MCP on this tissue. This study aimed to determine how this treatment affects ACC metabolism in both skin and pulp tissues in relation to cold storage. Changes in ACC metabolism were monitored in control and 1-MCP treated fruit stored in air and removed after 0, 15, 30, 90 and 150 days of storage. 1-MCP treatment caused an inhibition of ethylene production but also of ACC synthase (ACS) activity and ACC levels both in pulp and skin. Compared to the control, 1-MCP treatment also induced a significant reduction in ACC oxidase (ACO) activity, but the inhibition remained incomplete in both tissues. High levels of MACC were found in 1-MCP treated fruit, showing the presence of a malonyl transferase insensitive to 1-MCP treatment. Collectively, these results showed that apple skin and pulp exhibited similar climacteric behaviour. The results also showed that the different parameters involved in ACC metabolism were differentially inhibited by the 1-MCP treatment during cold storage. ACS was completely inhibited in both tissues, ACO only partially and the treatment was ineffective to prevent MACC accumulation.
