测定百合花粉生命力的液体培养基研究

 以东方百合品种‘索蚌’的新鲜花粉为试材, 利用单因子试验比较了液体培养基中蔗糖浓度及硼、钙、镁、钾对其萌发的影响。在此基础上进行正交试验, 比较蔗糖、H₃BO₃ 、CaCl₂ 对百合花粉萌发的影响。试验结果表明: 蔗糖和H3BO3 对百合花粉萌发有极显著影响。适宜的花粉培养液为: 蔗糖100 g·L ^{- 1} +H₃BO₃ 20 mg·L ^{- 1} +CaCl₂ 20～30 mg·L ^{- 1}。纯水培养液会造成花粉原生质体破裂, 内含物外流;高浓度的蔗糖和盐会造成原生质体失水萎缩, 质壁分离, 这两种情况都抑制花粉萌发。     

Effects of post-harvest foliar boron and calcium applications on subsequent season's pollen germination and pollen tube growth of pear (Pyrus pyrifolia)

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of foliar boron and calcium application after harvest on the quantity and activity of pollen in the ‘Housui’ and ‘Wonwhang’ pears on a subsequent year. Pollen grains of the ‘Housui’ pear were cultured on germination medium, to which had been added boric acid (0, 25, 75, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 mg L⁻¹) and calcium nitrate (0, 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, and 500 mg L⁻¹). Boric acid, which was added to the germination media, exerted a significant stimulatory effect on both pollen germination and pollen tube growth, although pollen tube growth was inhibited at higher concentrations than 300 mg L⁻¹. Calcium nitrate addition stimulated pollen germination, except at concentration of 500 mg L⁻¹. However, pollen tube growth was significantly inhibited with increasing concentrations of calcium nitrate. In the orchard experiment, boron and calcium were sprayed at concentrations of 0, 100, 200, 500 or 1000 mg L⁻¹ onto leaves after harvest, respectively. Boron and calcium content in the tissues as well as pollen production and growth were determined after these treatments. The foliar application of boron mainly resulted in an increase of boron concentration in buds. It also induced an increase in the weight of the anther and pollen in the following year. On the other hand, the foliar application of calcium resulted in an increase of calcium concentration mainly in the leaves, but pollen weight was decreased at high concentration treatment in the following year. The germination rate and tube growth of collected pollen were highest in the trees which had received boron treatment at a concentration of 200 mg L⁻¹. In contrast, the germination rate and tube growth of collected pollen were decreased by calcium application at concentrations of 500 and 1000 mg L⁻¹ without significant increase at lower concentrations. Consequently, the accumulation of boron in the developed buds of pear trees subjected to post-harvest foliar boron application generated positive effects on both the quantity and quality of pollen in the following year.     

硼、钙和农药对草莓花粉萌发和花粉管生长的影响

采用花粉液体培养法研究温度、硼、钙及农药对草莓花粉萌发和花粉管生长的影响。结果表明,(1)草莓花粉萌发和花粉管生长适宜的温度为25～30℃。(2)外源硼酸为草莓花粉萌发必需物质,适宜质量浓度为0.3g/L,低质量浓度促进花粉萌发和花粉管生长,而高于0.3g/L则起抑制作用。(3)外源钙为非必需物质,但适量的外源钙离子有利于花粉萌发,适宜质量浓度为0.3g/L,高钙抑制花粉萌发。(4)在培养液中分别加入常规浓度的7种农药,每处理几乎无花粉萌发,加入1/10常规体积分数的7种农药中,只有一遍净、速克灵、奥美特等3种农药处理有少量花粉萌发,说明农药对花粉萌发和花粉管生长有强烈抑制作用。     

Effect of pistil age and pollen parent on pollen tube growth and fruit production of pistachio

Female pistachio (Pistacia vera) trees were hand pollinated with pollen from three different male genotypes 0,1,2,3 and 4 d after anthesis. Results were measured by mature fruit set and by fluorescence microscopy of pollen germination and tube growth in the pistil. Maximum pollen tube growth and fruit set of split nuts was achieved following pollination within two days of anthesis. Three day old pistils supported pollen tube growth, but fruit set was low. Four day old pistils supported little pollen tube growth or fruit set. Significant differences were also apparent between pollen parents, with low pollen tube growth and fruit set following interspecific pollination with P. atlantica pollen. All pollen tubes were observed to penetrate chalazogamously, and parthenocarpic production of blank fruits occurred in both unpollinated and pollinated treatments. The results indicate that for optimum fruit production of pistachio, pollen transfer must be achieved within 2 d of anthesis and pollination by P. atlantica should be avoided.     

Water use and fruit yield of mango (Mangifera indica L.) grown in a subtropical Mediterranean climate

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the most important fruit crops in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. On the coast of Granada and Malaga (SE Spain), irrigated subtropical fruit species have been introduced and cultivated on terraces with a considerable economic importance as the only European production region. The subtropical fruit production in this zone is possible with intensive irrigation on terraces, which are economically more profitable than traditional rainfed crops (almond and olive), which have been replaced or abandoned. A 2-year monitoring period was conducted using drainage lysimeters to determine the crop coefficients (Kc) and fruit yield in mango (Mangifera indica L. cv. Osteen) orchards. Also, some quality parameters such as titratable acidity, total soluble solids, and vitamin C were evaluated under these conditions. The averaged Kc values of mango trees varied within production cycle of 0.43, 0.67, and 0.63 at flowering, fruit set, and fruit growth, respectively. In this study, the fruit yield under full water requirements (100% ET_C) averaged 24.1 kg tree^?1, amounting to 21.2 kg ha^?1 mm^?1 in terms of water-use efficiency. The quality parameters of the mango fruits harvested in the study area were satisfactory. Thus, this study highlights the need to optimize the irrigation-water use according to actual mango requirements, thereby achieving more sustainable Mediterranean subtropical farming in orchard terraces.

Observations on the Effect of Potash Supply on the Tension of the Tracheal Contents in Fruit Trees and Bushes

Summary

The effects of pollen source on fruit set and fruit quality characteristics (xenia effects) were examined in three commercial cultivars of mandarin, Imperial, Ellenor, and Murcott. Six trees of each cultivar received six pollination treatments: three cross-pollen sources, self-pollination, bagging and bagging with emasculation. Pollen tube growth, percentage fruit set, fruit weight, seediness, sugar and acid content were assessed in all treatments. Significant xenia effects, including effects on sugar content, were found in all cultivars. `Imperial' was found to be self-incompatible as self-pollen tubes were inhibited in the upper style. This resulted in a lower fruit set in self-pollinated fruits (P<0.01), a very low fruit weight (33–55 g, compared with 92–103 g, P<0.01), and fruits containing few or no seeds. In addition, `Ellenor' and `Murcott' pollen significantly increased sugar content of fruit by between 0.9–1.6% compared with self-pollinated and unpollinated treatments (P<0.05). Widespread problems of variable production and poor fruit quality in `Imperial' may be alleviated by interplanting with appropriate pollen sources such as `Ellenor' and `Murcott'. Pollen source significantly affected fruit set, seed number and sugar content but not fruit weight of cv. Ellenor. In particular, `Murcott' pollen produced a significantly higher fruit set, relatively low seed number, and the highest mean sugar content (13.2%), significantly higher than `Imperial' pollen, bagged, and unpollinated treatments (>12.5%, P<0.01). Fruit production, seediness and sugar content of `Ellenor' mandarin may be improved by interplanting with `Murcott'. Cross-pollination significantly increased seed number of `Murcott' (15–21 seeds per fruit, compared with 13–17 seeds per fruit, P<0.01). `Murcott' could be planted in pure blocks since self-pollinated `Murcott' fruit had slightly fewer seeds than crosses, without any significant loss of size or quality. These results demonstrate the need for careful consideration of interplanting of cultivars and management of pollinators such as the honeybee, Apis mellifera L. to maximize fruit production and quality in mandarins.     

Slowing the deterioration of mango fruit during cold storage by pre-storage application of oxalic acid

Summary

The effects of pre-storage application of oxalic acid (OA) on the incidence of decay and ripening in mango fruit, and its physiological effects on the peel and flesh of mango were investigated after mango fruit (Mangifera indica L. cv. Zill) were dipped in 5 mM OA for 10 min at 25ºC then stored at 14º ± 1ºC for 5 weeks. In addition, spore germination and mycelium growth of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz. on potato dextrose agar (PDA) media containing different concentrations of OA were measured. Application of OA decreased the incidence of decay and delayed the ripening process in mango fruit during cold storage. However, there was no reduction in fruit quality, as judged by the soluble solids content (SSC) and titratable acidity (TA) of fruit ripened at 25ºC for 3 d, following 3 weeks of cold storage. Oxalic acid-treatment resulted in decreased lipoxygenase (LOX) activity and increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the peel, and increased ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity in both the peel and the flesh, coincident with a decrease in reactive oxygen species (ROS).At or above 5 mM, OA with unaltered (natural) pH or after neutralisation, also inhibited C. gloeosporioides development in vitro. It is suggested that the physiological effects of OA, in decreasing LOX activity and enhancing defense against oxidation damage, contributed to delaying the ripening process in mango fruit during cold storage. Thus, pre-storage application of OA could be a promising method to suppress post-harvest deterioration and extend the shelf-life of refrigerated mango fruit, possibly due to a combination of its physiological effect in delaying the ripening process, coupled with an inhibition of the development of pathogens such as C. gloeosporioides.     

Zinc Ameliorates Fruit Yield and Quality of Mangoes Cultivated in Calcareous Soils

Zinc (Zn) deficiency is frequently observed in mangoes grown in calcareous soils. Inherent inability of mango to extract sufficient Zn from the soil exacerbates this situation. Therefore, mitigating effects of Zn application was investigated on flowering, fruit setting, yield and quality of mango cv. Samar Bahisht Chaunsa growing in calcareous soils. The experiment consisted of five treatments: control—no Zn, soil application of 50 and 100 g ZnSO₄ per tree and foliar application of 0.5? and 1.0?% ZnSO₄ solution. Zn was applied twice in the 2^nd week of November, 2011 and 3^rd week of March, 2012, respectively. The experiment was repeated on the same dates during the next growing season. Zn application significantly increased number of flower panicle, fruits matured panicle, leaf Zn concentrations, fruit size, peel thickness, fruit weights at harvest and after ripening and fruit yield tree, whereas it reduced malformed panicles and early fruit drop. However, flower sex ratio and fruit set remained statistically unaffected. Similarly, fruit quality in terms of total soluble solids, flesh color, aroma, flavor and overall acceptability significantly improved as compared to control. Foliar application mitigated Zn deficiency more effectively than the soil application in calcareous soils.     

钙对盐胁迫下西瓜光合特性和果实品质的影响

 采用营养液水培方式,以小型西瓜（Citrullus lanatus Mansfeld）品种‘秀丽’为试材,研究了营养液增补Ca²⁺对盐胁迫（100 mmol · L^-1 NaCl）下西瓜幼苗光合特性,叶绿素荧光,花粉萌发,果实品质的影响。结果表明,当营养液中Ca2+浓度由4 mmol · L^-1升高到6 mmol · L^-1时：①显著提高盐胁迫植株叶片的气孔导度（G_s）、胞间二氧化碳浓度（C_i）、净光合速率（P_n）、PSⅡ的最大光化学量子产量（F_v/F_m）、PSⅡ的实际光化学效率（ΦPSII）、相对电子传递速率（rETR）、光化学猝灭系数（q_P）和非光化学猝灭系数（q_N）,降低气孔限制值（L_s）和光抑制（1–q_P/q_N）;②显著提高盐胁迫果实质量及果实中抗坏血酸、可溶性固形物、可溶性总糖、可溶性蛋白质和游离氨基酸的含量,降低有机酸的含量;同时降低果实中Na+含量,提高果实中Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺、Fe、Cu、Mn含量;③明显促进盐胁迫花粉萌发和花粉管伸长。表明Ca²⁺可有效降低盐胁迫对光合作用的气孔限制,缓解盐胁迫对光合器官的伤害,使叶片保持较高的光合性能;促进盐胁迫下西瓜的生殖生长,有利于果实的生长发育及矿质营养平衡,进而改善果实品质。因此,Ca²⁺可通过调节光合代谢和生殖代谢来提高西瓜植株的耐盐性。     

Effects of simulated acid rain on the foliage and fruit yield of Malm domestica Borkh.

The effects of rain acidity on field-grown apple trees (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Sum- merred) under natural conditions were investigated. One group of four trees was exposed to ambient rainfall. Four other groups were covered with rain-shields and for two growing seasons received simulated rain consisting of deionized water or an acid solution at pH 5.6,4.0 or 3.0 respectively. Simulated acid rain, particularly at pH 3.0, injured leaves and petals, reduced fruit production and impaired marketability. SEM examination showed that damage to the leaves (necrosis and lesions) was most extensive at the moment of full leaf expansion, whereas damage to the fruit (russeting and lesions into the mesocarp) was most severe when the fruit was almost fully ripe. The reduction in production was 19% with the pH 4.0 spray and 37% with the pH 3.0 spray (compared with rainfall-fruit). The acidity of the ambient rainfall encountered in this study caused spotting and necrosis of the leaves but did not significantly affect fruit production.     

Sind Pollenspritzungen oder Pollendispenser Alternativen zur herkömmlichen Bestäubung der Apfelbäume durch Bienen?

The efficacy of different methods of applying cv. ‘Golden Delicious‘ pollen to ‘Cox Orange‘ apple trees inside insect-proof cages was investigated: (1) spraying pollen suspended in water directly into the trees while they were in bloom (treatment A); (2) pollen transfer by honeybees (treatment B) or by bumblebees (treatment C), both of which had to pass through a dispenser loaded with cv. ‘Golden Delicious‘ pollen; (3) transfer by honeybees of pollen from cv ‘Golden Delicious‘ trees bearing compatible pollen and maintained in pots within the same cages (treatment D). Naturally pollinated cv. ‘Cox Orange‘ apple trees outside the cages in the orchard served as controls. For methods A–C normal commercially available ‘Golden Delicious‘ pollen was used for hand pollination, and its efficacy was assessed with reference to the amount of fruit that set. The fruit-set at the time of harvesting differed significantly (Nemenyi test) with the different methods of pollination: 1.0% (±2.0) of the blossoms ripened to yield marketable apples after treatment A, 6.1% (±5.2) after treatment B, 4.9% (±4.6) after treatment C, and 20.4% (±11.5) after treatment D, while the corresponding figure for the control trees was 7.3% (±2.8) and that for hand pollination, 41,9%. The low fruit-set after an aqueous suspension of cv. ‘Golden Delicious‘ pollen was sprayed on the test trees shows that this procedure did not result in adequate pollination. The density of pollen grains was determined on filter papers during spraying and was an average of 3 (±2.6, range 0.0–8.6) pollen grains/cm². When the pollen dispensers were used, the fruit-set was lower than on the hand-pollinated control trees. Despite the success of manual pollination with exogenous cv. ‘Golden Delicious‘ pollen, pollen spraying to enhance pollination, as specified in current instructions, cannot be recommended for commercial apple growing in Germany.     

Pollinator selection in kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa)

SUMMARY

Pollinator performance was evaluated in kiwifruit to select pollinators for cv. Hayward adapted to the cultural conditions of southern Europe. Flowering time was determined in forty male seedlings. From, these, nine were selected for having a flowering period overlapping with ‘Hayward’. In these nine males, as well as in the commercial pollinators‘Matua’ and Tomuri’, the production of pollen was studied over two years, investigating pollen quantity through flower density and pollen production per flower. Likewise, in vitro pollen viability and its in vitro germination were recorded to study pollen quality. Finally, in vivo pollen performance was studied through fruit set and fruit characteristics in controlled hand pollinations. Two males have been selected with a flowering period coincident with ‘Hayward’, which produce more than twice as much germinable pollen than commercial pollinators. Whilst there were no significant differences in pollen quality or in fruit production, clear differences existed for pollen quantity in terms of both flower density and pollen production per flower. As pollen quantity, together with flowering time, can be easily evaluated at an early stage, this is encouraging for future selection ofkiwifruit pollinators.     

Long-term storage of yam pollen

During 1978–1979, viability of mixed hand-collected pollen from 6–10 genotypes of white yam (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.), stored under various combinations of relative humidity (Rh) and temperature, as well as the relation of pollen germination in vitro with fruit set were investigated.Yam pollen stored at 0% RH, ?5°C, remained highly viable for over one year (from one flowering-season to the next). Fluctuations in storage conditions accelerated loss of pollen viability. Pollen germination in vitro was not significantly correlated with the degree of fruit set, and pollen samples with low percent germination did give satisfactory fruit set.

Morphology and anatomy of pollen grains from male-fertile and male-sterile cultivars of chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.)

Summary

Pollen morphology and ultrastructure are described for four male-fertile cultivars (‘Firdola’, ‘Karamehmet’, ‘Sar?a?lama’, and ‘Hac?ömer’) and two male-sterile cultivars (‘Osmanog?lu’ and ‘Vakit Kestanesi’) of chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) using light microscopy and both scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Pollen grains of both male-fertile and male-sterile chestnut cultivars are tricolporate, the germinal furrow extending almost the full length of the grain axis. Pollen grains have a slightly reticulate exine. Pollen grain length varied from 13.33 – 21.30 µm, and decreased significantly in the male-sterile cultivars. Three different pollen shapes were observed among the cultivars: prolate, perprolate, and sub-prolate. The ultrastructure of the pollen grains did not differ between male-fertile and male-sterile cultivars. Intine, exine and total wall thickness (exine + intine) of pollen grains were determined as: 83.2 – 153.1 nm, 432.8 – 520.0 nm, and 516.0 – 651.6 nm, respectively; and variations were significant (P ≤ 0.05) among cultivars. The percentages of in vitro germination of pollen grains of male-fertile cultivars were between 11 – 78%, and the variations among cultivars were significant (P ≤ 0.05). The percentages of empty pollen grains observed among cultivars ranged from 3 – 32%. The correlation coefficient between the percentage of normal pollen and the germination rate was r = 0.898 (P ≤ 0.01).     

Fruit Yield,Plant Growth and Nutrient Status in Mango

Abstract

Fruit yield and nutrient concentration of mango (Mangifera indica L.) cultivar ‘Osteen’ were studied in relation to rootstocks Gomera-1 and Gomera-3 for three years. The results indicated that the Gomera-3 root system had higher nutrient uptake and transport towards the scion. Data from grafted and ungrafted Gomera-1 and Gomera-3 trees proved similar with respect to N, P, and K utilization profile, with post-harvest accumulation and a decline during flowering, P and K concentrations significantly decreasing during fruit growth. These trends were largely the opposite for Ca and Mg. The Fe, Zn, Mn, and Cu concentrations rose during dormancy and fell at flowering. Fruit yield was higher with Gomera-1, while Gomera-3 gave fruit with greater weight and width. Tree height, trunk cross-sectional area, canopy diameter and volume were greater in grafted and ungrafted Gomera-3, this rootstock being the most vigorous. The yield efficiency was significantly greater on Gomera-1. Thus, cv. ‘Osteen’ grafted to Gomera-1 offered better yield and required a lower amount of nutrients.     

Screening Capsicum species of different origins for high temperature tolerance by in vitro pollen germination and pollen tube length

Successful fruit set depends on several reproductive processes including pollen germination and tube growth processes. An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of temperature on pollen germination characteristics and to identify species/genotypic differences in Capsicum using the cumulative temperature response index (CTRI) concept. Pollen was collected from plants of seven genotypes from five Capsicum species, adapted to various parts of the world and grown outdoors in large pots. The pollen was subjected to in vitro temperatures ranging from 15 to 50 °C at 5 °C intervals. Pollen germination and tube lengths were recorded for all species after 24 h of incubation at the respective treatments. Species/genotypes differed significantly for in vitro pollen germination percentage and pollen tube length with mean values of 78% and 734 μm, respectively. The mean cardinal temperatures (T_min, T_opt, and T_max) averaged over genotypes, were 15.2, 30.7, and 41.8 °C for pollen germination and 12.2, 31.2, and 40.4 °C for pollen tube growth. The CTRI of each species/genotype calculated as the sum of eight relative individual stress response values, such as maximum pollen germination, maximum pollen tube length; T_min, T_opt, and T_max temperatures of pollen germination, and pollen tube lengths, identified species tolerance to high temperatures. Capsicum annum cv. Mex Serrano from Mexico was identified as tolerant, C. chacoense cv. 1312 and C. spp. cv. Cobanero from Argentina and Guatemala, respectively as intermediate and C. frutescens cv. Early Spring Giant from China, C. annum cv. Long Green from South Korea, C. spp. cv. NM89C130 and C. pubescens cv. 90002 from Guatemala as sensitive to high temperatures. The tolerant species/genotypes can be used in breeding programs to develop new genotypes that can withstand high temperature conditions both in the present climate and particularly in a future warmer climate.     

猕猴桃花粉萌发的影响因子

试验以美味猕猴桃4个株系帮增1号、201、35-19N1、35-18N1为材料,测定不同株系花粉的活力和花粉萌发动态,并以蔗糖、硼酸、钙、锰、钼、氯化钠等作为环境因子,看其对花粉萌发和花粉管生长的影响。结果表明:35-19N1萌发和活力最高,萌发率为51.73%;帮增1号萌发最差,萌发率为36.23%。在培养基中硼酸和蔗糖最适宜浓度分别为:150mg/L、10%;培养基中添加Ca(NO3)25mg/L,或Na6Mo7O2480mg/L、MnSO4100mg/L,能明显提高萌发率。不同株系花粉的发芽势高峰有差异。NaCl对花粉萌发和花粉管生长有抑制作用。     

Premature seed germination induced by very-long-chain fatty acids causes jelly seed disorder in the mango (Mangifera indica L.) cultivar ‘Amrapali’ in India

Jelly seed (JS) in ‘Amrapali’ mango (Mangifera indica L.) is a physiological disorder, the cause of which has long remained obscure. The disorder is distinguished by the appearance of jelly-like tissue in the pulp adjoining the stone, although the fruit show no external symptoms. The objective of this study was to determine the causative factor inducing the JS disorder in ‘Amrapali’ mango. Studies showed, for the first time, that JS in ‘Amrapali’ mango arose at the start of germination-associated events in the seed of developing fruit. The trigger for premature seed germination originated from reduced synthesis of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) in the seed of developing fruit. This then promoted the production of cytokinins, leading to the onset of premature germination-associated events in the seed. Consequently, a large increase in the activities of pectinolytic enzymes in JS pulp occurred that led to the rapid degradation of pectin and excessive softening of the pulp, to the consistency of jelly. The application of plant growth regulators to developing fruit showed that gibberellic acid (GA₃) increased the incidence of JS, while paclobutrazol reduced the incidence of JS, confirming that the onset of early germination during fruit maturation and ripening played a primary role in the incidence of the JS disorder.
