为明确金龟子绿僵菌Metarhizium anisopliae在促进植物生长和提高植物抗性方面的作用,以金龟子绿僵菌拌土种植紫花苜蓿Medicago sativa,于室内测定植株的生长参数、苜蓿斑蚜Therioaphis trifolii的取食选择性及其发育历期和繁殖力。结果表明,金龟子绿僵菌处理后7 d,植株株高比对照显著增加了0.87 cm;处理后14 d,植株分枝数为3.88个,根长为54.67 mm,均显著高于对照。株龄14 d的植株接入苜蓿斑蚜,至株龄28 d时,金龟子绿僵菌处理的植株株高、分枝数和根长均较对照显著增加;同时生物量、叶绿素含量和类胡萝卜素含量也有不同程度的升高。选择性试验结果显示,24 h内选择并驻留在金龟子绿僵菌处理植株叶片上的苜蓿斑蚜数量较对照显著减少28.57%。以金龟子绿僵菌处理的植株叶片饲喂苜蓿斑蚜,1～4龄若虫的发育均有所减缓,各龄若虫的发育历期均较对照叶片饲喂的各龄若虫有所延长,而成虫寿命较以对照叶片饲喂时显著缩短了30.09%,总生命历期显著缩短了18.83%。表明金龟子绿僵菌促进了紫花苜蓿植株的生长,同时增强了植株对苜蓿斑蚜的耐害性、排趋性与...     

Mode of action of the anilino-pyrimidine fungicide pyrimethanil. 2. Effects on enzyme secretion in Botrytis cinerea

The effect of pyrimethanil on the levels of cell wall degrading enzymes secreted by Botrytis cinerea Pers. was investigated in diseased plant tissues and in liquid B. cinerea cultures. Total proteinase activity isolated from infected carrot slices which were treated with 5.0 μM pyrimethanil was decreased by 76%, 3 d after inoculation. Polygalacturonase, cellulase, proteinase and laccase activities were all decreased in the medium of three day-old cultures grown in the presence of pyrimethanil. The pyrimethanil concentrations resulting in 50% reduction in total enzyme activities (IC₅₀) were approximately 0.25 μM for polygalacturonase, cellulase and proteinase, and approximately 1.0 μM for laccase. No significant growth inhibition was observed at these pyrimethanil concentrations. Pyrimethanil did not inhibit the enzymes directly, nor did it inhibit the synthesis of cytosolic proteins. Therefore, it was proposed that the fungicide inhibits protein secretion at a post-translational stage in the secretory pathway. Large differences were found in the effects of pyrimethanil on the growth of B. cinerea in liquid cultures and on agar plates, depending on the composition of the medium. In liquid media containing cellulose and protein as carbon and nitrogen sources, growth inhibition occurred at 5.0 μM pyrimethanil, whilst no growth inhibition was observed with 50 μM pyrimethanil in malt extract. Similarly, growth occurred on potato/dextrose agar (PDA) at 0.5 μM pyrimethanil, but no growth was seen at this concentration on agars containing cellulose and protein. Thus it appears that pyrimethanil is most active in media where the fungus has to utilise extracellular enzymes to mobilise the nutrients it requires for growth.     

The influence of water level and nutrient availability on growth and root system development of Myriophyllum aquaticum

Myriophyllum aquaticum is an aquatic plant of still or slow flowing waters. The species mostly occurs in its emerged growth form in dense stands, but submerged shoots can also be found. Due to its rapid growth, M. aquaticum is considered one of the most important aquatic weeds worldwide. In southern Europe, M. aquaticum occurs in irrigation and drainage systems, rice fields and lowland wetlands. In this study, root development and growth response of M. aquaticum to different water levels and nutrient availabilities were investigated in a rhizotron experiment under Central European climatic conditions. The species shows an ability to respond to drained soil conditions by a rapid root growth (up to >1 cm day⁻¹), resulting in a deep root system under drained conditions. In waterlogged soil, the root system spreads more horizontally. Root density increased with increasing nutrient availability. Root:shoot ratio increased significantly with decreasing nutrient availability. In addition, total shoot length, shoot biomass, root biomass and total biomass differed significantly between different water levels and different nutrient availabilities. Relative growth rate increased with increasing water level and nutrient availability. Shoot porosity was higher in nutrient rich substrate than in nutrient low substrate. Root porosity increased with increasing water level. In conclusion, M. aquaticum shows a high tolerance to different water levels, which may be important for future habitat conditions in waterbodies and wetlands in Central Europe under the impact of global change with increased water level fluctuations.     

水分胁迫下荒漠地区2种草本植物生物量分配策略

水分胁迫是荒漠地区生态系统结构和功能变化的主要驱动力。分析水分胁迫下,不同生长阶段荒漠植物生物量在地上-地下的分配比例,对精确估算地下有机碳存储量有重要的理论意义。通过盆栽控制实验,设置对照、中度和重度胁迫的水分梯度,选取荒漠地区2种草本植物涩荠（Malcolmia africana）和角果藜（Ceratocarpus arenarius）,分析其生物量在地上-地下的分配比例变化。结果表明：无论水分胁迫存在与否,总生物量累积均符合Sigmoidal生长模型;水分胁迫对植株早期发育阶段总生物量的累积无明显影响,但显著减少了发育后期总生物量的累积;植株每生长10 d,涩荠和角果藜叶片占总生物量的比例分别减少8.9%～10.6%和3.1%～3.4%。几乎等同于茎所增加的比例。水分胁迫使得地下生物量显著增加,但总生物量的累积仍以地上部分为主;根冠比在整个生长过程中呈4个渐变的阶段。     

Phenotypic plasticity of Artemisia ordosica seedlings in response to different levels of calcium carbonate in soil

Plant phenotypic plasticity is a common feature that is crucial for explaining interspecific competition, dynamics and biological evolution of plant communities. In this study, we tested the effects of soil CaCO_3(calcium carbonate) on the phenotypic plasticity of a psammophyte, Artemisia ordosica, an important plant species on sandy lands in arid and semi-arid areas of China, by performing pot experiments under different CaCO_3 contents with a two-factor randomized block design and two orthogonal designs. We analyzed the growth responses(including plant height, root length, shoot-leaf biomass and root biomass) of A. ordosica seedlings to different soil CaCO_3 contents. The results revealed that, with a greater soil CaCO_3 content, A. ordosica seedlings gradually grew more slowly, with their relative growth rates of plant height, root length, shoot-leaf biomass and root biomass all decreasing significantly. Root N/P ratios showed significant negative correlations with the relative growth rates of plant height, shoot-leaf biomass and root length of A. ordosica seedlings; however, the relative growth rate of root length increased significantly with the root P concentration increased, showing a positive correlation. These results demonstrate that soil CaCO_3 reduces the local P availability in soil, which produces a non-adaptive phenotypic plasticity to A. ordosica seedlings. This study should prove useful for planning and promoting the restoration of damaged/degraded vegetation in arid and semi-arid areas of China.

Simulated rainfall sequences affect germination and biomass allocation of Chihuahuan desert native plants

Ecological restoration of many arid zones is a pressing issue because of recurrent loss of plant cover. Here, we conducted a germination and growth study of three framework plant species, native to the Chihuahuan Desert in Northern Mexico, to optimize the establishment for arid zone restoration. The plant species were Zinnia grandiflora Nutt., Menodora scabra A. Gray, and Yucca elata (Engelm.) Engelm, which were selected for their potential for restoration as drought tolerant species. We evaluated seed germination, survival, and biomass allocation of seedlings under four (high, medium, low, and very low) simulated rainfall sequences as irrigation treatments. Rainfall sequences were obtained from a previous study that considered 35?years of precipitation records. Each sequence is accounted for 20% of probability of a wet, normal, low, or very low year in terms of precipitation occurring in the study area. Germination was conducted in controlled greenhouse conditions and seeding was done in pots containing soil mix. Sequences produced soil moisture fluctuations in which germination percent was higher for M. scabra (88%) and Z. grandiflora (31%) on the high sequence compared to the other sequences. Survival at the end of the treatments was above 80% of all the three species, and seedlings allocated more aboveground biomass as the moisture increased and more belowground biomass as moisture decreased. Implications under our study conditions include that germination of Y. elata would not be negatively affected by low soil moisture, and the best germinative results for Z. grandiflora and M. scabra would be achieved under higher soil moisture.     

种间相互作用对牧草间作体系生产力的影响

为了揭示种间相互作用对柱花草/黑籽雀稗间作体系生产力的影响,试验设计三个处理,分别是单作柱花草、单作黑籽雀稗、柱花草/黑籽雀稗间作,观测了三个不同种植模式作物整个生育的物候期、整个植株生长量、生物量、生物量的当量比及不同种植体系土壤有机质、全氮和全磷的差异。结果表明:1种植牧草270天后,间作体系地上部和地下部生物量的当量比分别是3.05和3.52,土地当量比大于1,表明柱花草/黑籽雀稗间种具有间作优势。2与单作相比,间作体系黑籽雀稗物候期推迟5天;其生长量、生物量均高于单作,株高、根长、干草产量和根系产量分别高于单作9.67 cm、7.33 cm、345.50 g·株~(-1)、131.67 g·株~(-1)。与柱花草单作对比,间作的分枝期、现蕾期、花期比单作分别推迟5天、15天、5~15天;其生长量和生物量低于单作,柱花草株高、根系深、根冠比、根瘤量、干草产量和根系产量分别低于单作10.64 cm、0.54 cm、0.08、0.84粒·株~(-1)、14.29 g·株~(-1)和1.48 g·株~(-1);3间作体系土壤养分有机质、全氮、全磷比种植前增加的量分别为0.039%、0.003%、0.001%。单作柱花草样地有机质、全氮比种植前增加的量分别为0.063%、0.006%,磷比种植前减少0.001%;单作黑籽雀稗样地有机质、全氮比种植前减少0.017%、0.002%。表明,柱花草的间作提高了样地土壤有机质、全氮和全磷含量;柱花草在生物固氮过程中,以磷固氮,消耗磷素致使单作柱花草样地全磷量减少,全氮量增加。     

Effects of rainfall patterns on annual plants in Horqin Sandy Land,Inner Mongolia of China

Growth of annual plants in arid environments depends largely on rainfall pulses. An increased understanding of the effects of different rainfall patterns on plant growth is critical to predicting the potential responses of plants to the changes in rainfall regimes, such as rainfall intensity and duration, and length of dry intervals. In this study, we investigated the effects of different rainfall patterns(e.g. small rainfall event with high frequency and large rainfall event with low frequency) on biomass, growth characteristics and vertical distribution of root biomass of annual plants in Horqin Sandy Land, Inner Mongolia of China during the growing season(from May to August) of 2014. Our results showed that the rainfall patterns, independent of total rainfall amount, exerted strong effects on biomass, characteristics of plant growth and vertical distribution of root biomass. Under a constant amount of total rainfall, the aboveground biomass(AGB), belowground biomass(BGB), plant cover, plant height, and plant individual and species number increased with an increase in rainfall intensity. Changes in rainfall patterns also altered the percentage contribution of species biomass to the total AGB, and the percentage of BGB at different soil layers to the total BGB. Consequently, our results indicated that increased rainfall intensity in future may increase biomass significantly, and also affect the growth characteristics of annual plants.     

摩西球囊霉对紫花苜蓿烟色织孢霉根腐病的影响

紫花苜蓿Medicago sativa是一种优质的多年生豆科牧草,素有"牧草之王"的美称。根腐病是紫花苜蓿生产中的主要限制因素,可抑制植物生长,严重时导致植物死亡,造成巨大的经济损失。丛枝菌根真菌（Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi,AM）广泛存在于农业系统中,可与植物根系形成内生菌根,提高宿主植物对营养元素和水分的吸收,增加植物产量和抗逆性。本研究以紫花苜蓿为试验材料,探究接种AM真菌摩西球囊霉Glomus mosseae对紫花苜蓿根腐病烟色织孢霉Microdochium tabacinum的影响。结果表明,摩西球囊霉可抑制烟色织孢霉的侵染,植株发病率降低了20.78%;病原菌的侵染显著抑制紫花苜蓿根系生长和养分吸收,植物地下生物量降低12.87%,根长降低20.52%,根系P含量降低了18.29%,丙二醛（MDA）含量提高了12.78%;AM真菌可以缓解病原菌的危害,促进紫花苜蓿生长,与不接种AM真菌的处理相比,地上生物量、地下生物量、根长分别提高了47.77%,38.67%和20.67%;防御酶超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、过氧化物酶（POD）和过氧化氢酶（CAT）活性分别提高了42.25%、26.05%和33.62%;地上部分和地下部分P含量分别提高了58.63%和75.38%。     

应用农业措施控制加拿大一枝黄花的技术研究

应用植物替代、人工拔除和机械旋耕等农业措施控制加拿大一枝黄花研究结果表明,种植替代植物水稻、小麦、玉米和大豆等作物对加拿大一枝黄花均有一定的防效,鲜重防效明显高于株数防效,对株高的防效最小。其中种植水稻的防效达100%。人工拔除加拿大一枝黄花的地上部分和地下部分后种植青菜和芝麻,其株数防效和鲜重防效均可达95%以上。机械旋耕对加拿大一枝黄花株高的控制效果在50%左右,鲜重的防效可达70%,但旋耕后其密度会大量增加。     

Influences of herbicides, uprooting and use as cut flowers on sexual reproduction of Solidago canadensis

Solidago canadensis is a noxious invasive species in China. We examined the influences of herbicides on pollen germination and pollen tube growth and the effects of cutting flowers and herbicides on seed production and quality. We also determined the seed production and resource allocation to different organs of S. canadensis after uprooting the plants during their reproductive periods. The main results were as follows: (i) 49% pollen of S. canadensis was able to germinate on an appropriate medium; (ii) compared with paraquat, ethephon and 2,4-D, glyphosate had an ideal inhibitory effect on pollen germination and the formation of seeds of S. canadensis ; (3) cut flowering branches, when placed in water or nutrient solution, were still able to produce viable seeds; (4) resources were allocated more to the inflorescences to facilitate seed maturation after plants were uprooted at the flowering stage. Uprooted flower branches were still able to produce viable seeds, especially those in full flower. Therefore, in order to reduce the seed production of S. canadensis and spread of the species we suggest: (i) apply glyphosate at the flower bud stage, (ii) completely destroy uprooted plants at flowering stages and (iii) avoid using the flowering branches as ornamental materials.     

Effects of rye cover crop residue and herbicides on weed control in narrow and wide row soybean planting systems

Α three‐year, non‐irrigated field study was conducted in 1998, 1999, and 2000 at the Southern Weed Science Research Unit farm, Stoneville, MS to study the effects of rye cover crop residue, soybean planting systems, and herbicide application programs on the control, density and biomass of several weed species and soybean yield. The soybean planting systems comprised 19 cm rows with high plant density, 57 cm rows with medium plant density, and 95 cm rows with low plant density. The herbicide programs evaluated were pre‐emergence, postemergence, pre‐emergence followed by postemergence, and no herbicide. Flumetsulam and metolachlor were applied pre‐emergence, and acifluorfen, bentazon, and clethodim were applied postemergence. The presence or absence of rye cover crop residue and a soybean planting system did not affect weed control of the species evaluated (browntop millet, barnyard grass, broadleaf signal grass, pitted morningglory, yellow nutsedge, Palmer amaranth and hyssop spurge), when herbicides were applied, regardless of the application program. In addition, rye cover crop residue was not an effective weed management tool when no herbicide was applied, because density and biomass of most weeds evaluated were higher than a no cover crop residue system. Among soybean planting systems, narrow with high plant density soybeans reduced density of grasses, broadleaf weeds and yellow nutsedge by 24–83% and total weed biomass by 38%, compared to wide with low plant density soybeans. Although weed pressure was reduced by narrow with high plant density soybeans, herbicide applications had the most impact on weed control, weed density and biomass. All herbicide programs controlled all weed species 81–100% at two weeks after postemergence herbicide applications, in comparison to no‐herbicide. Density of grasses and all broadleaf weeds as well as total weed biomass was lower with the pre‐emergence followed by postemergence program than these programs alone. Soybean yields were higher in the pre‐emergence followed by postemergence, and postemergence only programs than the pre‐emergence alone program. Planting crops in narrow rows is one cultural method of reducing weed pressure. However, even with the use of this cultural practice, prevalent weed pressure often requires management with herbicides.     

施氮量对膜下滴灌棉花氮素吸收、积累及其产量的影响

2004年在膜下滴灌条件下,研究了施氮量0,180,270,360kg/hm2对膜下滴灌棉花氮素的吸收、累积和产量及氮肥利用率的影响。结果表明:施用氮肥可以显著提高棉花的生物和经济产量及地上部分总吸氮量,但过量施用氮肥对经济产量和生物产量增产不显著,各施氮处理氮肥利用率在27.6~33.8%之间,随施氮量的增加而降低。植株中氮素含量随生育延长而降低,氮素累积总体呈增加趋势,施氮量对棉花氮素吸收有显著影响,同一生育时期,氮素含量和累积量都随着施氮量增加而提高。本试验条件下,棉花的合理施氮量应控制在270 kg/hm2左右。     

Root growth inhibition of rice by bensulfuron

Bensulfuron inhibited root growth of waterseeded rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants in a solution culture system. Rice root growth was more sensitive to bensulfuron than was shoot growth. A1 2.5 × 10^-9 M bensulfuron, plant height, number of leaves and number of roots were not significantly affected, while root growth was reduced, Seedlings treated 3 or 4 days after emergence showed a significant reduction of total root length by the second day after treatmeni. Root growth inhibition was proportional to duration of treatment; however, treatment for 2 days was necessary to affect root growth, Bensulfuron decreased the mitotic index and the mitotic height in root tips. At 5 days after treatment, only 0.7% of the cells were dividing and mitotic height was 68% of control     

Cropping systems modify soil biota effects on wheat (Triticum aestivum) growth and competitive ability

Plants alter soil biota which subsequently modifies plant growth, plant–plant interactions and plant community dynamics. While much research has been conducted on the magnitude and importance of soil biota effects (SBEs) in natural systems, little is known in agro‐ecosystems. We investigated whether agricultural management systems could affect SBEs impacts on crop growth and crop–weed competition. Utilising soil collected from eight paired farms, we evaluated the extent to which SBEs differed between conventional and organic farming systems. Soils were conditioned by growing two common annual weeds: Amaranthus retroflexus (redroot pigweed) or Avena fatua (wild oat). Soil biota effects were measured in wheat (Triticum aestivum) growth and crop–weed competition, with SBEs calculated as the natural log of plant biomass in pots inoculated with living soil divided by the plant biomass in pots inoculated with sterilised soil. SBEs were generally more positive when soil inoculum was collected from organic farms compared with conventional farms, suggesting that cropping systems modify the relative abundance of mutualistic and pathogenic organisms responsible for the observed SBEs. Also, as feedbacks became more positive, crop–weed competition decreased and facilitation increased. In annual cropping systems, SBEs can alter plant growth and crop–weed competition. By identifying the management practices that promote positive SBEs, producers can minimise the impacts of crop–weed competition and decrease their reliance on off‐farm chemical and mechanical inputs to control weeds, enhancing agroecosystem sustainability.     

加拿大一枝黄花的防控措施

加拿大一枝黄花人工拔除需与春季化除结合起来配套实施。耕翻复种是一项经济有效的防除措施,可有效控制加拿大一枝黄花再生。草甘膦＋磺酰脲类除草剂在加拿大一枝黄花生长期内使用,对地上部分和地下根状茎都有很好的杀伤效果,但需注意的是,这类除草剂仅限在非耕地使用。南京农业大学杂草研究室研制的NJW001抑制剂能明显抑制加拿大一枝黄花花序的伸展和花蕾的开放,同时对株高也有明显的抑制作用。     

水分和温度对紫茎泽兰幼苗生长的影响

比较2个水分和3个温度梯度条件下,中国和墨西哥两种群紫茎泽兰（Eupatorium adenophorum Spreng）的形态、生物量分配和光合色素的可塑性反应,探讨两种群在幼苗阶段生长特点及入侵潜力。结果表明：（1）各温度水分处理下墨西哥种群株高、叶片数、总叶面积、总生物量、叶生物量比、叶根比、总叶绿素较高,中国种群根长、根生物量、根冠比较高。表明墨西哥种群在适宜的环境条件下比中国种群有更高的资源捕获能力,而中国种群对干旱和低温条件有更好的适应能力。（2）两种群紫茎泽兰对水分响应显著,100%水分下总叶面积、平均叶面积、总生物量、叶生物量比、叶面积比、叶根比、总叶绿素均高于50%水分条件。对温度响应显著,尤其20℃时,中国种群根长,墨西哥种群总叶面积,100%水分下平均叶面积、总生物量、叶生物量比、叶根比5,0%水分下根生物量比,均达最高值。两种群喜湿润的环境,温度20℃时生长较好。     

Role of ice nucleation and antifreeze activities in pathogenesis and growth of snow molds

ABSTRACT We examined the ability of snow molds to grow at temperatures from -5 to 30 degrees C and to influence the growth of ice through assays for ice nucleation and antifreeze activities. Isolates of Coprinus psychromorbidus (low temperature basidiomycete variant), Microdochium nivale, Typhula phacorrhiza, T. ishikariensis, T. incarnata, and T. canadensis all grew at -5 degrees C, whereas Sclerotinia borealis and S. homoeocarpa did not grow at temperatures below 4 degrees C. The highest threshold ice nucleation temperature was -7 degrees C. Because snow molds are most damaging to their hosts at temperatures above this, our results imply that the pathogenesis of these fungi is not dependent on ice nucleation activity to cause freeze-wounding of host plants. All snow molds that grew at subzero temperatures also exhibited antifreeze activity in the growth medium and in the soluble and insoluble hyphal fractions, with the exception of M. nivale and one isolate of T. canadensis. The lack of high ice nucleation activity combined with the presence of antifreeze activity in all fungal fractions indicates that snow molds can moderate their environment to inhibit or modify intra- and extracellular ice formation, which helps explain their ability to grow at subzero temperatures under snow cover.
