WATER STRESS AND NITROGEN MANAGEMENT EFFECTS ON GAS EXCHANGE,WATER RELATIONS,AND WATER USE EFFICIENCY IN WHEAT

A field experiment was conducted over two years to evaluate the gas exchange, water relations, and water use efficiency (WUE) of wheat under different water stress and nitrogen management practices at Crop Physiology Research Area, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Four irrigation regimes and four nitrogen levels, i.e., 0, 50, 100, and 150 kg N ha^?1 were applied in this study. The photosynthetic gas exchange parameters [net carbon dioxide (CO₂) assimilation rate, transpiration rate and stomatal conductance] are remarkably improved by water application and nitrogen (N) nutrition. Plants grown under four irrigation treatments as compared with those grown under one irrigation treatment average stomatal conductance increased from 0.15 to 0.46 μ mol m^?2s^?1mol during 2002–2003 and 0.18 to 0.33 μ mol m^?2s^?1mol during the year 2003–2004 and photosynthetic rate from 9.33 to 13.03 μmol CO₂ m^?2 s^?1 and 3.99 to 7.75 μmol CO₂ m^?2 s^?1 during the year 2002–2003 and 2003–2004, respectively. The exposure of plants to water and nitrogen stress lead to noticeable decrease in leaf water potential, osmotic potential and relative water content. Relative water content (RWC) of stressed plants dropped from 98 to 75% with the decrease in number of irrigation and nitrogen nutrition. The higher leaf water potential, and relative water contents were associated with higher photosynthetic rate. Water use efficiency (WUE) reduced with increasing number of irrigations and increased with increasing applied nitrogen at all irrigation levels.

不同水分条件下水稻苗期根系性状的QTL分析

以超级杂交稻协优9308(协青早B/中恢9308)衍生的234个重组自交系(RIL)为材料,在正常水分和20%聚乙二醇(PEG-6000)模拟水分胁迫处理下对水稻苗期最长根长、总根长、根表面积、根体积、根平均直径、根尖数、根鲜重和根冠比进行QTL定位分析。采用复合区间作图法,共检测到影响8个根部性状的21个QTL,单个QTL可解释的表型变异介于4.80%～11.35%。其中,正常水分条件下检测到7个QTL,分布在第2、3、9、10、11染色体上;水分胁迫条件下检测到14个QTL,分布在第2、3、5、6、9染色体上。不同水分条件下检测到的QTL位点差异很大,表明不同水分条件下的遗传机制不同。在第3和第6染色体上各检测到1个根部性状的QTL簇,尤其在第3染色体RM6283-RM7370区间发现苗期根系性状与抗旱性及产量相关性状之间存在连锁关系,利用这些QTL紧密连锁的分子标记进行辅助选择,可望同时对多个相关性状进行遗传改良。     

局部根系水分胁迫下氮形态对玉米幼苗光合特性的影响

本文通过测定玉米幼苗光合特性的变化来研究局部根系水分胁迫下氮形态对植物生长的影响及其机理。试验采用分根装置,聚乙二醇(PEG6000)只向一侧根室加入以模拟局部根系水分胁迫。设置3种形态氮(铵态氮;硝态氮;含铵态氮、硝态氮各为50%的混合氮),两侧根室均匀供应。水分胁迫后第4、5、7天测定玉米幼苗光合与叶绿素荧光参数、生物量等的变化。结果发现在局部根系水分胁迫时,相对于另外2种氮形态,在胁迫初期铵态氮供应的植株光合速率(Pn)、实际光化学量子产量(Yield)、电子传递速率(ETR)、光化学淬灭系数(qP)较高,玉米幼苗生长较快;而在水分胁迫第7天,铵态氮供应的植株光合速率、Yield、ETR、qP较低,叶绿素含量下降,植株生长滞缓,而硝态氮以及混合氮处理的植株生长相对加快。     

氮素水平对不同氮效率基因型水稻的物质生产与分配的影响

研究了在群体水培条件下,3种氮素水平(5、15和25mg.kg-1)对6种不同氮效率利用基因型迟熟中粳水稻物质生产与分配的影响。结果表明:氮素水平、基因型对水稻氮素干物质生产效率(NUEdm)、氮素籽粒生产效率(NUEg)均有极显著的影响。6种不同氮效率基因型可分成氮高效和氮低效利用型2类。NUEdm在2类基因型水稻中总体上均随着氮素水平升高呈现上升趋势;而NUEg在氮低效基因型中表现为随氮素浓度升高而先升后降。在水稻的4个关键生育期,不同氮素水平、2类基因型之间水稻干物质积累量差异显著。成熟期,氮素水平对水稻茎鞘、根、穗的干物质分配比例影响显著,对叶片干物质分配比例影响不显著。相同氮素水平下,就平均值而言,水稻茎鞘、叶片、根系干物质比例均表现为氮低效基因型>氮高效基因型,而穗的干物质比例均表现为氮高效基因型>氮低效基因型。氮素水平对不同基因型水稻产量影响显著,同一氮素水平下均表现为氮高效型基因型水稻产量显著高于氮低效型基因型,且施氮量越大差异越大。相关分析表明,水稻各关键生育期的干物质生产量、产量、每穗粒数均与氮素水平、基因型的NUEg、NUEdm显著或极显著相关,与成熟期水稻各器官干物质分配比例相关性则相对较弱。

BIOMASS ALLOCATION AND NITROGEN DISTRIBUTION IN RYEGRASS UNDER WATER AND NITROGEN SUPPLIES

Ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) in grassland is known to sustain with water and nitrogen (N). This study investigates biomass and N partitioning in plant organs (roots, main and the youngest tillers) under water-nitrogen interactions. Nitrogen was applied at the rates of 50 and 100 mg N kg^?1 as N₁ (low N) and N₂ (high N) treatments, respectively, with uniform irrigation until 440 growing degree-days (GDD). Thereafter, the water supply was restricted to 50 mL on a weekly basis (W₁) against 50 mL on a daily basis (W₂) and concurrently, N enriched with 1 atom% ¹⁵N isotopes. Cumulative tillers’ biomass increased linearly from 1st to 8th order, but thereafter reached a plateau with further increases in number of negligible weights. Initially tiller mass and number per plan did not differ (P < 0.05) with water and/or N applications but changed at 788 GDD with clear differences at 911 GDD with the highest under N₂W₂ and lowest under N₁W₁. Nitrogen concentration sharply decreased from 530 to 700 GDD and then levelled off with age. The decline was more pronounced in tillers than roots. The high N treatment showed elevated N-concentration under both water treatments. Watering on a daily basis promoted vegetative growth. High water and N levels significantly (P < 0.05) influenced concentration of N absorbed during ¹⁵N labeling (N_L) in all organs with relatively pronounced N_L under N₂. The additive positive effect of W₂ and N₂ was obvious on N_L as compared to N_T, which showed that plants discriminate N-uptake on mass basis. Nitrogen (mobile) was higher in young and ¹⁵N (heavier) was low in young tillers and vice versa. Accumulation of N absorbed during ¹⁵N labeling (¹⁵N_A) was significant knowing that water is a strong determining factor of N concentration in ryegrass organs.     

不同水分管理对水稻生长与氮素利用的影响

应用土柱模拟法和15N示踪技术研究了长期淹水和严重渗漏条件下水稻的生长和氮肥的吸收与转化。结果表明，两种水分条件下，水稻根系生长量和地上部干物质积累量明显不同。水稻在淹水条件下因根系生长受阻，氮积累在拔节后明显变缓；而渗漏条件下水稻对氮的吸收在孕穗期仍保持较高水平。前者对肥料氮的利用率较后者显著地低，且土壤矿化氮在所吸收的氮中的贡献率也相对较高。这与水稻在两种水分管理条件下的生长状况和氮在两种情形下的转化特点密切相关。本试验条件下，水稻于拔节后对土壤矿化氮的吸收数量明显增加，似有脱肥现象，因此，应提倡追施孕穗肥。     

NATURAL ABUNDANCES OF 15NITROGEN AND 13CARBON INDICATIVE OF GROWTH AND N2 FIXATION IN POTASSIUM FED LENTIL GROWN UNDER WATER STRESS

Dual natural abundance analysis of ¹⁵Nitrogen (N) and ¹³Carbon (C) isotopes in lentil plants subjected to different soil moisture levels and rates of potassium (K) fertilizer were determined to assess crop performance variability in terms of growth and N₂-fixation (Ndfa). The δ¹⁵N values in lentils ranged from +0.67 to +1.36‰; whereas, those of the N₂-fixed and reference plant were ?0.45 and +2.94‰, respectively. Consequently, the Ndfa% ranged from 45 and 65% of total plant N uptake. Water stress reduced Δ¹³C values. However, K fertilization enhanced whole plant Δ¹³C along with dry matter yield and N₂-fixation. The water stressed plants amended with K fertilizer seemed to be the best treatment because of its highest pod yield, high N balance, and N₂-fixation with low consumption of irrigation water. This illustrates the ecological and economical importance of K fertilizer in alleviating water stress occurring during the post-flowering period of lentil.     

水分胁迫下AM真菌对甘草生长的影响

利用盆栽试验研究了水分胁迫下接种摩西球囊霉（Glomus mosseae）对甘草（Glycyrrhiza inflata）生长和抗旱性的影响。结果表明,土壤含水量对AM真菌接种效果有显著影响;不同水分条件下,接种AM真菌显著提高了甘草菌根侵染率和全株黄酮以及氮、磷含量。水分胁迫30 d,接种株POD活性和MDA含量显著降低,而土壤含水量为60%和80%时,接种株可溶性蛋白含量显著降低;水分胁迫60d,接种株SOD活性和可溶性蛋白含量显著降低,土壤含水量为60%和80%时,接种株POD活性和可溶性糖含量显著升高,接种株叶绿素含量只在土壤含水量为60 %时显著升高。以胁迫60d土壤含水量为60 %时接种效果最佳。AM真菌可能通过提高宿主植物根系对土壤水分和矿质元素吸收以及改善植物体内生理活动、调节保护酶活性以提高其抗旱性,促进宿主植物生长。     

用~(15)N示踪法研究不同土壤水分条件下小麦对氮的吸收利用

本研究结果表明,同一施氮量处理小麦地上生物量、茎叶产量和籽粒产量随土壤水分含量的增加而提高,在同一土壤含水量下,这３ 种产量则随氮素肥料施用量的增加而增加。小麦成熟后地上部吸收总氮量的方差分析显示出施氮处理和水分处理对小麦吸氮量的影响达到显著水平,同一施氮处理小麦地上部吸氮总量随土壤含水量的增加而增加,在３ 种土壤水分含量条件下,小麦的吸氮量均随施尿素氮肥量的增加而提高。施尿素处理的土壤Ａ 值随土壤含水量的增加而降低;尿素与猪粪配施处理的土壤Ａ 值则随土壤含水量的增加而增加。在相同施肥量下,尿素氮的利用率随土壤含水量的增加而提高,当田间持水量分别为５０ ％ 、７０ ％ 和９０ ％ 时,小麦对土壤中氮素利用率分别为１３３０ ％ 、２７９７ ％ 和３２２６ ％ ,尿素与猪粪配施处理在３ 种土壤水分条件下的氮肥利用率分别为１９９６ ％ 、２９９０ ％ 和３４３９ ％ 。说明在水分缺乏的情况下,尿素氮的利用率受土壤水分条件的制约,土壤水分充足及无机氮肥与有机肥配施可以提高氮肥的利用率。     

Cd、Cu、Pb处理下增施氮对巨桉生长和光合特性的影响

为验证氮在植物解除重金属毒害中的积极作用和生理机制,本试验对巨桉(Eucalyptus grandis)幼苗在3种重金属(Cd、Cu和Pb)处理下增施氮肥的生长和光合生理效应进行研究。结果表明:Cd2+、Cu2+和Pb2+处理下,巨桉植株的叶绿素含量、光合作用、PSⅡ原初光化学反应量子产率等均显著低于对照植株;而在重金属处理的同时增施氮肥,则能显著促进植株生长,提高叶绿素含量,增强光合作用和PSⅡ原初光化学反应量子产率。由此说明,氮在植物对重金属的解毒中起到重要作用,增施氮肥可缓解重金属对植物的毒害,提高叶绿素含量和光合速率。     

HIGH FERTILIZER RATES INCREASE SUSCEPTIBILITY OF TEA TO WATER STRESS

A study to determine the association of fertilizer with soil water deficit in tea [Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze] was conducted in a rain-out shelter using potted plants, in which five rates of fertilizer (0, 75, 150, 225 and 300 kg Nitrogen ha^?1) and six levels of soil water content (38, 34, 30, 26, 22 and 18% v/v) were applied in a complete randomized design and replicated three times. The soil water treatment was maintained for a period of 12 weeks during which shoot growth, plant water relations, and dry matter partitioning in tea were determined. A parallel field experiment with the above fertilizer rates was conducted at three sites in which shoot density and shoot weight were determined during the dry season. Fertilizer improved leaf-to-root and leaf-to-total mass ratios (P < 0.001), reduced shoot growth, shoot water potential and specific leaf area (P < 0.001). The fertilizer exacerbated drought effect on tea through disproportionate assimilate partitioning which consequently weakened the ability of tea to tolerate water stress. Results suggest an indirect contribution of fertilizer supply to drought susceptibility in tea.     

施氮水平对甘蔗氮素吸收与利用的影响

以新台糖22号(ROC22)为试材,设15N标记尿素2.5、5.0和7.5g/盆(相当于225、450和675kg/hm2)3个处理,采用网室盆栽试验方式,研究施氮水平对甘蔗氮素吸收与利用的影响。结果表明:甘蔗吸收的氮素17.27%～27.28%来自施用的氮肥,72.72%～82.73%来自土壤和种茎;甘蔗氮肥利用率为34.21%～42.46%。随施氮水平提高,甘蔗干物质积累、氮素积累及来源于肥料氮素的比率显著增加,同时蔗叶对氮素的吸收利用呈上升趋势,但蔗茎对氮素的吸收利用呈下降趋势,氮肥利用率也显著下降。土壤碱解氮和硝态氮在各土层中的含量随施氮水平的提高而增加,且两者在0～20cm土层的积累明显大于20～40cm土层。本试验条件下,甘蔗氮肥施用为尿素5.0g/盆(相当于450kg/hm2)及土层深度为20cm较为适宜。     

施肥水平对冬大麦干物质和氮素积累与转运的影响

为合理利用氮肥,进一步提高大麦产量和品质,以扬饲麦3号、港啤1号、扬农啤2号和Frankin共4个品种为供试材料,研究了0(CK),90(NL),180(NM)和270kg/hm2(NH)4个氮肥水平下冬大麦干物质和氮素积累、转运及对籽粒贡献的规律。结果表明,随着施氮量的提高,大麦干物质花前积累量呈增加趋势,积累率及对籽粒的贡献率呈下降趋势,各器官的转运量在NM处理(180kg/hm2)范围内呈增加趋势,高于此范围则下降。氮素营养花前积累量和转运量各品种均呈上升趋势,花前积累率、转运率和对籽粒氮的贡献率都呈下降趋势。不同品种不同氮肥处理下大麦干物质转运量以茎秆为最大,转运率大部分以芒壳+穗轴为最高,对籽粒的贡献率以茎秆为最高。各器官氮素转运量以叶片最高,转运率以芒壳+穗轴最大,氮素转运对籽粒的贡献率以叶片最高。大麦各品种籽粒产量与施氮量呈二次曲线关系,氮素积累量与施氮量呈显著线性正相关关系。表明在本试验条件下,大麦最高产量的最佳施氮范围为212.42～261.97kg/hm2。     

COURSE OF DRY MATTER AND NITROGEN ACCUMULATION OF SPRING WHEAT GENOTYPES KNOWN TO VARY IN PARAMETERS OF NITROGEN USE EFFICIENCY

Field experiments were conducted for two years to compare and identify bread spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes which make the most efficient use of nitrogen (N). Such information is required for breeding strategies to reverse the negative relationship between yield and protein content. Three Swiss spring wheat cultivars (‘Albis’, ‘Toronit’, ‘Pizol’) and an experimental line (‘L94491’) were grown without (N0; 0 kg N ha^?1) and with high fertilizer N [(NH₄NO₃); (N1; 250 kg N ha^?1) supply on a clay loam soil with low organic matter content. Biomass and nitrogen accumulation in biomass as well as the leaf growth and senescence patterns (SPAD) were investigated in an attempt to explain the physiology of growth and N translocation of these genotypes. The pre-anthesis accumulation of biomass and N in the biomass depended on genotype only at N1 in 2000. In this year, conditions were less favorable for the pre-anthesis accumulation of biomass and N, which was, on average, 10 and 20% lower, respectively, of the total than in 1999. The contribution of pre-anthesis assimilates to the grain yield (CPAY) was higher in 1999 for all genotypes (36.9%) compared to 2000 (13.5%) except ‘Toronit’. Between anthesis and maturity the climate influenced the genetic variability of some N use efficiency components: N translocation efficiency (NTE) and dry matter translocation efficiency (DMTE). NTE was higher in 1999 (68.1%) compared to 2000 (50.7%); 1999 was a year in which the post-anthesis period was drier and warmer than usual. ‘Toronit’ produced the highest biomass by maturity due mainly to greater and longer lasting green leaf area after anthesis. ‘Albis’ performed relatively well under low input conditions, with considerable amounts of N being re-translocated to the seeds at maturity (NHI), whereas ‘Pizol’ accumulated in grains N as high as for ‘L94491’. In a humid temperate climate breeding for greater N uptake and partitioning efficiency may be a promising way to minimize N losses and produce high phytomass and grain yields. Using high protein lines as selection material and combining them with high biomass genotypes may lead to high protein contents without decreasing yield.     

春大豆生长中对不同氮源的吸收利用

利用15N示踪技术和框栽方法,对大豆不同生育期(苗期V4,初花期R1,盛花期R2,结荚初期R4,鼓粒期R5,成熟期R6,收获期R8)各部位及全株氮素来源进行系统的研究。结果表明,在大豆生育前期土壤氮和肥料氮是根、茎、叶片氮素的主要来源,在生育后期根瘤固氮开始增加;随生长大豆荚果氮素中土壤氮所占比例逐渐减小,根瘤固氮所占比例逐渐增加,并在收获期(R8)达到总量的70.6%,肥料氮所占比例一直很低。苗期至初花期(V4~R1)是无机氮营养期,大豆主要依靠土壤氮和肥料氮;初花期至鼓粒期(R1~R5)是无机氮营养与根瘤固氮并行期,既依靠土壤氮和肥料氮,又有根瘤固氮的供应;鼓粒期至收获期(R5~R8)是根瘤固氮营养期,主要依靠根瘤固氮。     

水分胁迫及VA菌根接种对绿豆生长的影响

本文采用土培试验研究了水分胁迫下接种VA菌根真菌Glomusmosseae,G .sp .和G .caledonium对绿豆生长及代谢活动的影响。结果表明 ,水分胁迫严重抑制了植株的生长 ,但对VA菌根真菌的侵染能力影响不大。接种VA菌根真菌不仅有利于植株对土壤中磷和氮的吸收 ,而且明显改善了植株的水分状况 ,降低了植株叶片的脯氨酸含量 ,提高了接种株叶片的光合效率 ,显著增加了植株干物质量 ,增强了绿豆的抗旱性或耐旱性。 3种真菌中 ,以Glomusmosseae的接种效果最好。
