Girdling and summer pruning in apple increase soil respiration

The root system of plants derives all its energy from photosynthate translocated from the canopy to the root system. Canopy manipulations that alter either the rate of canopy photosynthesis or the translocation of photosynthate are expected to alter dry matter partitioning to the root system. Field studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of trunk girdling (2008 and 2009) and summer pruning (2009) on soil respiration, maximum quantum yield efficiency of photosystem II and leaf carbohydrate content. In apple trees, following trunk girdling there was increased soil respiration in association with a significant rainfall event suggesting rapid release of organic matter and subsequent microbial decomposition of the carbon. Soil respiration rates returned to baseline levels over time. Reduction in midday maximum quantum efficiency of photosystem II (RPSII) was increased by girdling when crop load was low and this reduction was not related to leaf carbohydrate levels. Girdling reduced leaf sucrose and sorbitol levels in both years, however, total leaf carbohydrates were not affected by girdling. Summer pruning increased soil respiration within 2 weeks of treatment in association with a significant rainfall event, also suggesting a release of organic matter and microbial decomposition of the carbon. Cultural practices that severely affect canopy sink source relationships such as girdling and summer pruning increase soil respiration, however these effects appear to be very short lived, 3–10 days, followed by recovery of the soil/root system to similar levels of soil carbon dioxide efflux. These cultural practices do not likely pose a long-term detrimental effect on root system efficiency because the effects are of short duration with apparent recovery.

Rapid separation of developing Arabidopsis seeds from siliques for RNA or metabolite analysis

Background

Root growth is highly responsive to temporal changes in the environment. On the contrary, diel (24 h) leaf expansion in dicot plants is governed by endogenous control and therefore its temporal pattern does not strictly follow diel changes in the environment. Nevertheless, root and shoot are connected with each other through resource partitioning and changing environments for one organ could affect growth of the other organ, and hence overall plant growth.

Results

We developed a new technique, GROWMAP-plant, to monitor growth processes synchronously in leaf and root of the same plant with a high resolution over the diel period. This allowed us to quantify treatment effects on the growth rates of the treated and non-treated organ and the possible interaction between them. We subjected the root system of Nicotiana tabacum seedlings to three different conditions: constant darkness at 22°C (control), constant darkness at 10°C (root cooling), and 12 h/12 h light–dark cycles at 22°C (root illumination). In all treatments the shoot was kept under the same 12 h/12 h light–dark cycles at 22°C. Root growth rates were found to be constant when the root-zone environment was kept constant, although the root cooling treatment significantly reduced root growth. Root velocity was decreased after light-on and light-off events of the root illumination treatment, resulting in diel root growth rhythmicity. Despite these changes in root growth, leaf growth was not affected substantially by the root-zone treatments, persistently showing up to three times higher nocturnal growth than diurnal growth.

Conclusion

GROWMAP-plant allows detailed synchronous growth phenotyping of leaf and root in the same plant. Root growth was very responsive to the root cooling and root illumination, while these treatments altered neither relative growth rate nor diel growth pattern in the seedling leaf. Our results that were obtained simultaneously in growing leaves and roots of the same plants corroborate the high sensitivity of root growth to the environment and the contrasting robustness of diel growth patterns in dicot leaves. Further, they also underpin the importance to carefully control the experimental conditions for root growth analysis to avoid or/and minimize artificial complications.

Deficit irrigation as a strategy to control growth in ornamental plants and enhance their ability to adapt to drought conditions

The shortage of water in many parts of the world has led to the development of new irrigation strategies such as regulated deficit irrigation and sustained deficit irrigation. Water deficit induces different morphological and physiological responses in ornamental plants, but the application of irrigation strategies can obtain quality plants well adapted to the environment. Deficit irrigation controls plant growth, and can be considered a sustainable technique which avoids the use of plant growth regulators. In addition, root system morphology can be modified by water stress to improve the ability to extract water from the soil and strengthen a plant’s physical support. In addition, the application of deficit irrigation during nursery period is a technique frequently used to harden plants before transplanting. Water deficit affects morphological and physiological aspects that might provide a capacity to adapt to adverse conditions. All these features contribute to increasing water use efficiency and the root to shoot ratio and root density, promoting the more rapid establishment of ornamental plants in garden or landscape settings. In view of the results obtained, it is possible to apply and validate the most appropriate irrigation strategy for each species and to obtain the full benefits of applying deficit irrigation.

Changes in nutrient concentrations and leaf gas exchange parameters in banana plantlets under gradual soil moisture depletion

Changes in mineral nutrient concentration, growth, water status and gas exchange parameters were investigated in young banana plants (Musa acuminata cv. ‘Grand Nain’) subjected to gradual soil moisture diminution. Experiments were performed in glasshouse under controlled temperature, and water stress was imposed by ceasing irrigation for 62 days. The data showed a parallel decrease of leaf gas exchange parameters and soil moisture initiated few days after the imposition of water stress. However, the leaf relative water content (RWC) showed a minor decrease in response to drought. The onset of growth reduction evaluated as plant height, pseudostem circumference, number of newly emerged leaves, leaf area, and leaf and root biomass took place approximately between 34 and 40 days after the beginning of the stress period. In addition, drought did not modify nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in foliar and root tissues; however, it increased potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium and chloride in leaves, and only calcium, sodium and chloride in roots. Collectively, the data reveal that banana plants show a drought avoidance mechanism in response to water stress. After a prolonged drought period, leaf RWC was hardly reduced, while gas exchange and growth parameters were reduced drastically. Increasing leaf mineral concentration could have help to maintain leaf RWC due to osmotic adjustment mechanism.     

Effect of aeration of the nutrient solution on the growth and quality of purslane (Portulaca oleracea)

Summary

The aim of this work was to assess the influence of three levels of aeration of the nutrient solution (high, low, or no aeration) on the growth and quality of two cultivars of purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.): the commercial cultivar, ‘Golden Purslane’, and a local Spanish accession, C-215. Both were grown in a floating system over four crop cycles. Our results showed purslane to be a crop that exhibited little sensitivity to oxygen depletion in the rooting medium, since it was able to adapt to a gradual reduction in oxygen content. Under such conditions, purslane plants created an aerenchyma tissue (equivalent to approx. 10% of root sections in the non-aerated treatments in both cultivars) that helped to maintain growth. Under conditions in which no aeration was provided, there was a slight decrease in plant growth. The final quality of the product was improved because leaf nitrate concentrations were reduced (by more than 1,300 mg kg^–1 FW) compared with the high aeration treatment, and the content of functional phytochemicals and SPAD values (chlorophyll contents) were increased.     

Transpiration,photosynthetic responses,tissue water relations and dry mass partitioning in Callistemon plants during drought conditions

Callistemon is an Australian species used as ornamental plant in Mediterranean regions. The objective of this research was to analyse the ability of Callistemon to overcome water deficit in terms of adjusting its physiology and morphology. Potted Callistemon laevis Anon plants were grown in controlled environment and subjected to drought stress by reducing irrigation water by 40% compared to the control (irrigated to container capacity). The drought stress produced the smallest plants throughout the experiment. After three months of drought, the leaf area, number of leaves and root volume decreased, while root/shoot ratio and root density increased. The higher root hydraulic resistance in stressed plants caused decreases in leaf and stem water potentials resulting in lower stomatal conductance and indicating that water flow through the roots is a factor that strongly influences shoot water relations. The water stress affected transpiration (63% reduction compared with the control). The consistent decrease in g_s suggested an adaptative efficient stomatal control of transpiration by this species, resulting in a higher intrinsic water use efficiency (P_n/g_s) in drought conditions, increasing as the experimental time progressed. This was accompanied by an improvement in water use efficiency of production to maintain the leaf water status. In addition, water stress induced an active osmotic adjustment and led to decreases in leaf tissue elasticity in order to maintain turgor. Therefore, the water deficit produced changes in plant water relations, gas exchange and growth in an adaptation process which could promote the faster establishment of this species in gardens or landscaping projects in Mediterranean conditions.     

Impact of Mononychellus progresivus and Oligonychus gossypii (Acari: Tetranychidae) on cassava growth and yield in Central Africa

Growth of cassava was investigated in Central Africa (Congo) on crops attacked by two phytophagous mites: Mononychellus progresivus and Oligonychus gossypii. Change and distribution of dry matter in leaves, stems and roots were monitored for the 24 month crop cycle on infested and mite-free plants. Leaf dry matter increased during the rainy season and decreased during the dry season. Stems contain the reserves used for initiating plant growth after the dry season. Dry matter increased in the roots which form true storage organs. At the start of the second year of cultivation, one third of the root biomass was used to support the recovery of plant growth and development. Mite densities fewer than 50 mobile forms per leaf (maximum number of mites) were not sufficient to cause significant loss of leaf, stem and root dry matter. Nevertheless the mites diverted part of the biomass allocated to the roots thereby reducing the efficiency of storage root production in the infested plot.     

Response to water stress of some oleander cultivars suitable for pot plant production

Oleander (Nerium oleander L.) is an evergreen shrub of great ornamental interest which, in recent times, has been increasingly used as a flowering pot plant. Plants grown in pots undergo more frequent water stress conditions than those grown in the soil, due to the limited volume of substrate available for the roots. Oleander is a species adaptable to dry conditions and able to survive long periods of drought. It is well known that under water stress conditions all plants reduce photosynthetic activity, resulting in reduced plant growth. In case of severe water stress, leaves undergo strong wilting and senescence resulting in the loss of ornamental value. In the present work, a study was conducted to evaluate the ecophysiological response to water stress in four oleander cultivars previously recognised (on the basis of traits such as size, habit, earliness, abundance and duration of flowering, aptitude for cutting propagation and rapidity of growth) as suitable for pot plant production. Our data confirm the high drought tolerance of oleander. In the studied cultivars, plants submitted to water stress showed only minor variations in leaf gas exchange parameters [transpiration (E), stomatal conductance (g_s) and CO₂ net assimilation (A)] for at least 10 days without a change in leaf water content [assessed as relative water content (RWC)] for 22 days from the beginning of the stress treatment. During this period, non-irrigated plants maintained the same water status as control plants and were visually undistinguishable from them. Moreover, plants survived without water supply for one month. Following the supply of water again, they were able to restore RWC, gas exchange parameters and instantaneous water use efficiency [A/E ratio (WUE_inst)] to the values of control plants. Furthermore, if at the end of the stress period plants appeared withered and were pale green in colour, they regained their normal appearance after they were irrigated again. Although the four studied cultivars showed some minor differences in leaf gas exchange parameters and in the manner in which the latter parameters changed after irrigation was stopped, the response to water stress was essentially the same. Therefore, as far as drought tolerance is concerned, all these cultivars have a good aptitude for use as flowering pot plants.

Cytokinins in citrus. II. Fluctuations during growth in juvenile and adult plants

Juvenile and adult plants of ‘Pickstone Valencia’ orange (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck) were compared for differences in shoot and root growth and for endogenous cytokinins in a synchronized growth flush. Dry-mass accumulation in both shoots and roots of juvenile-budded plants was significantly greater than in adult plants. Cytokinins extracted from leaves and roots of plants removed from the dormancy-induction environment, and subsequently during active growth, were mostly of the non-polar type. Buds of juvenile scions appeared to accumulate higher levels of polar cytokinins during dormancy than adult scion buds. In both plant categories, the level of polar cytokinins decreased once growth was stimulated by higher temperatures. However, cytokinin levels in buds were markedly higher than in new shoot, leaf or root material. Polar cytokinins were present in particularly low concentrations in the developing new shoots, and non-polar cytokinins only increased after the extent of shoot enlargement reached a maximum at about 50 days after warm-temperature incubation.The possible involvement of cytokinins in growth differences between adult and juvenile plants seems to be at the stage of bud activation, prior to breaking of dormancy. At this stage, polar cytokinins reached a much higher level of activity in juvenile buds, and this may have resulted in the greater scion growth of juvenile plants.     

Root growth,water relations and mineral uptake of young ‘Delicious’ apple trees treated with soil- and stem-applied paclobutrazol

Paclobutrazol (2R,3R + 2S,3S)-1-(4 chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1,2,4-trizol-1-yl) pentan-3-ol), at 25, 50 and 150 mg active ingredient, was applied as a soil drench or stem application to 1-year-old ‘Topred Delicious’ apples. Root growth measured as relative root surface area was reduced by both soil and stem applications. There was no significant difference in dry weight of the root tissue. The root-to-leaf-area ratio was significantly increased in paclobutrazol-treated plants.Water relations measured as leaf conductance and leaf water potential were significantly influenced by paclobutrazol. Leaf conductance was higher in paclobutrazol-treated plants when the plants were turgid, as well as under some water stress. Leaf water potential was significantly higher in treated plants.There were no significant differences in the total nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium levels found in the leaf or root tissue.     

Heritage conservation and environmental threats at the 192-year-old botanical garden in Pondicherry,India

Urban botanical gardens conserve historical flora, improve the local environment and promote human well-being. Unfortunately they are often undervalued due to lack of public awareness or resources. Analysis of species diversity and turnover at long-lived gardens can improve the understanding of long-term plant resilience and help adapt management actions to align with rapidly changing urban contexts. Given the various threats faced by urban botanical gardens, we examined tree species diversity, historical changes and survival of plants at the Botanical Garden in Pondicherry (BGP), southern India, which was established 192 years ago by the colonial French government.A complete census of trees was carried out to compare current species diversity with two historical lists compiled 151 years ago and 57 years ago, respectively. These lists were also used to identify heritage trees. Effects of environmental threats, including the very severe cyclonic storm Thane (December 2011) and various damages to young stems, were analysed with Google Earth images and field inventories.There were 284 identified tree species, including 25 endangered/vulnerable/threatened species and 53 tropical dry evergreen forest species. Turnover had occurred, and approximately half of the historical species had been replaced with new species. Tropical Cyclone Thane caused severe damage to large trees and anthropogenic activities damaged saplings. Yet, at least 65 large resilient individuals had survived all the threats, and signifiy the adaptability and heritage value of the BGP.Our study revealed multiple values of this heritage green space in a rapidly developing South Asian city and suggests strategies for modernisation that are aligned with international conservation guidelines. We recommend better monitoring and utilisation of cyclone-damage data to guide future plant introductions at this coastal site.

模拟干旱胁迫对垂盆草生长和光合特性的影响

为研究干旱胁迫对垂盆草生长和光合特性的影响,以垂盆草为试材,设置4个不同干旱处理(干旱时间为1、3、6、9 d)测定在不同水分条件处理下垂盆草的生长发育状况和叶绿素荧光特性。结果表明:随着干旱程度的加剧,垂盆草植株的叶片总数、比叶面积、叶厚、株高、根长等生长指标数值显著降低;根干质量、茎干质量、叶干质量和总生物量显著降低;叶生物量比和比叶面积明显降低,茎生物量比显著上升,根生物量比无明显变化;叶绿素含量先上升后下降,在轻度干旱时(持续干旱3 d)达到最大值,重度干旱时(持续干旱9 d时)含量最少;PSII最大光化学量子效率(Fv/Fm)、电子传递速率(ETR)、光化学猝灭系数(qP)显著下降,而非光化学猝灭系数(NPQ)随干旱程度加剧显著上升。垂盆草植株干旱条件下,生长发育受到抑制,轻度干旱下垂盆草幼苗的光合能力表现出一定的适应性,而重度干旱则对幼苗光合作用影响较为严重。     

铅对油麦菜和四季菜心幼苗生长的影响

为了解铅对油麦菜和四季菜心生长的影响,通过无土栽培的方法,用不同浓度的硝酸铅溶液对2种植物的幼苗进行了胁迫处理,分析不同浓度铅处理对植物生长的影响。结果表明:铅处理不同程度的影响了2种植物的生长,降低了其生长速度。但是,除茎叶鲜重和干重外,各指标仍呈现增加趋势。在相同处理时间内,高浓度的铅处理使油麦菜叶片数、叶面积、株高和茎叶鲜重、干重指标明显下降,根系鲜重、干重则呈增加趋势。在高浓度铅处理下,四季菜心的各项指标呈现降低趋势。在0.005mg/L的铅处理时,四季菜心各项指标略好于对照,油麦菜各项指标则略有降低;表明在低浓度下油麦菜对铅更敏感。在0.015mg/L处理时,油麦菜和四季菜心各项生长指标均明显降低,四季菜心降低的更多;在0.045mg/L铅高浓度处理下,油麦菜和四季菜心各项指标变化最大,生长受到明显抑制;高浓度铅对四季菜心的生长影响更大。     

The response of different almond genotypes to moderate and severe water stress in order to screen for drought tolerance

In order to screen almond genotypes for drought tolerance, three different irrigation levels including moderate and severe stress (Ψs = −1.2 and −1.8 MPa respectively) and a control treatment (Ψs = −0.33 MPa) were applied for five weeks to six different cultivated almond seedlings. A factorial experiment was conducted with a RCBD which included 3 irrigations factors, 6 genotype factors and 3 replications. Seeds were prepared from controlled pollination of the bagged trees (after emasculation and flower isolation using isolator packets in the previous year). Genotypes included: homozygote sweet (Butte), heterozygote sweet (SH12, SH18, SH21 and White) and homozygote Bitter (Bitter Genotype). Leaf and root morphological and physiological traits including; midday relative water content, midday leaf (xylem) water potential, shoot dry weight and growth, total leaf area, leaf size, total leaf dry weight, specific leaf area, leaf greenness (SPAD), stomatal size and density, root and leaf nitrogen content and chlorophyll fluorescence were measured throughout the study. Results showed the six genotypes had different reactions to water stress but all genotypes showed an ability to tolerate the moderate and severe stresses and they showed different degrees of response time to drought stress. Almond seedling leaves could tolerate Ψ_w between −3 and −4 MPa in short periods. Water availability did not significantly affect stomatal density and size of young almond plants. The analysis of leaf anatomical traits and water relations showed the different strategies for almond genotypes under water stress conditions. Although almond seedlings even in severe stress kept their leaves, they showed a reduction in size to compensate for the stress effects. All genotypes managed to recover from moderate stress so Ψ_w = −1.2 could be tolerated well by almond seedlings but Ψ_w = −1.8 limited young plant growth. Leaf greenness, leaf size, shoot growth, shoot DW, TLDW and stomatal density were not good markers for drought resistance in almond seedlings. Root DW/LA, lower stomatal size and lower SLA might be related to drought resistance in cultivated almonds. Butte had the least resistance and White showed better performance during water stress while other genotypes were intermediate. Bitter seedlings showed no superiority in comparison with other genotypes under water stress conditions except for better germination and greater root DW which might make them suitable as rootstocks under irrigation conditions.     

不同形态氮素对盐胁迫下番茄细胞超微结构与光合作用的影响

研究了在150 mmol ? L-1 NaCl胁迫下含铵态氮、硝态氮和硝酸铵（氮素浓度均为3 mmol ? L-1）的营养液培养的番茄幼苗生长、细胞超微结构、根系活力和光合作用参数的变化。结果表明：NaCl胁迫下,硝态氮处理叶片细胞出现伤害现象,而硝酸铵处理未见明显变化。铵态氮处理细胞超微结构明显发生破坏性变化,盐胁迫下,其伤害加剧。NaCl处理下,不同氮素形态处理下的植株生物量和根系活力均显著下降,其中硝酸铵处理的植株生物量和根系活力维持最高。NaCl胁迫下3种氮素形态处理的植株净光合速率（Pn）和蒸腾速率（Tr）均显著下降,其中硝酸铵处理的Pn和Tr要明显高于其他氮素处理。NaCl胁迫下,硝态氮处理和硝酸铵处理的水分利用效率（WUE）和气孔限制值（Ls）均明显上升,而铵态氮处理显著降低。综上,盐胁迫下,硝酸铵处理下番茄幼苗可维持较好的细胞超微结构、根系活力和较高的光合作用,维持较高的生物量,从而维持较高的耐盐性。
