Effects of NaCl stress on seed germination, leaf gas exchange and seedling growth of Pteroceltis tatarinowii

Effects of NaCl on seed germination, leaf gas exchange and seedling growth were investigated. The germination of P. tatarinowii seeds was delayed in the presence of NaCl, and was significantly inhibited when NaCl concentration exceeded 17 mM (1.0 g·L⁻¹). NaCl treatments induced reductions of transpiration rate, stomatal conductance and net photosynthetic rate and their reductions were significant with the increasing of NaCl concentration. However, intercellular CO₂ concentration in seedling leaves under salt stress was significantly higher than that of controls. There was a significant reduction in survival, basal diameter increment and height increment with increasing NaCl concentration 50 days after NaCl treatment, and a significant reduction in the dry weight increment of roots, stems, and leaves was also observed in the NaCl treatments. The deleterious effect on the biomass increment was more evident in the case of stems and leaves. Results from this study suggest that P. tatarinowii is sensitive to salinity stress and the salinity threshold for seedling growth might be less 34 mM (2.0 g·L⁻¹).

中国生态区划分与评价和保护建设的研究（V）

生态区评价是国际上新近发展起来的一种科学方法和实践。有利解决资源开发利用保护生态环境的矛盾。中国生态区划分以地面景观为标准，并建立二级分类系统，区一亚区，同时充分利用政府行为。将全国共划分为10个一级生态区：天然林保护生态区、自然保护区生态区、水土保持生态区、防护林生态区、荒漠生态区、湿地生态区、林业生态区、草原生态区、农业生态区、青藏高原高寒生态区。     

油桐林生物量和养分循环的研究

对不同生育期的油桐林生物量和大量营养元素(N、P、K、Ca、Mg)的生物循环进行了研究。结果表明,桐林的生物量随树龄的增大逐渐积累,从幼龄期开始到20年生的桐林,其生物量的积累值为79,61t/ha。桐林不同生育期的光合产物在各器官中的分配比例不同。经济产量(果生物量或种仁生物量)随树龄的动态变化服从二次抛物线函数:W_(FR)=-2.11398+0.82471(t-1)-0.03540(t-1)~2W_S=-1.37257+0.38539t-0.01706t~2不同生育期,桐林中大量营养元素的吸收量、存留量、归还量和输出量均不同。     

Establishment of a high-frequency regeneration system in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Cerasus humilis</Emphasis>, an important economic shrub

Cerasus humilis is a species of small, perennial, drought-resistant and multipurpose deciduous shrub grown in arid and semi-arid conditions in northern China. In this study, an efficient protocol for the rapid micropropagation of C. humilis has been standardized using stem and/or leaf explants. Direct multiple shoot induction was observed when the stem explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different plant growth regulators. The highest shoot induction was obtained when stem explants from adult trees were cultured on MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg L^?1 6-benzyladenine (6-BA) and 0.9 mg L^?1 α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The leaf and stem explants cultured on MS medium with 1.0 mg L^?1 6-BA and 0.6 mg L^?1 NAA, and 0.5 mg L^?1 6-BA and 0.8 mg L^?1 NAA, respectively, produced the highest induction frequency of callus. Maximum proliferation of callus was observed on MS medium containing a combination of 0.5 mg L^?1 6-BA with 0.6 mg L^?1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-d). Optimal shoots differentiated from callus were obtained on MS medium supplemented with 5.0mg L^?1 6-BA and 0.9 mg L^?1 NAA. In vitro rooting was achieved on half-strength (1/2) MS medium containing 0.5 mg L^?1 NAA. Rooted plantlets were hardened under control conditions and successfully acclimatized under field conditions.     

Effects of density and resin content on the physical and mechanical properties of scrimber manufactured from mulberry branches

The silk industry in China produces a large amount of mulberry branches as by-product every year. Mulberry branches have high longitudinal toughness and good overall mechanical properties. However, these branches are incinerated because their utility in other industries is limited by their small size. This study determines the feasibility of manufacturing scrimber from mulberry branches by using cold pressing method, followed by thermo-curing with different densities and resin contents. Results show that density [ranging from (0.81–1.24) g/cm³] exerts a greater effect on the shear strength, modulus of rupture (MOR), and modulus of elasticity (MOE) than resin content (changing from 8 to 20 %). The increase rate slows down when the density exceeds 1.1 g/cm³ and the resin content reaches more than 12 %. The strength-to-weight ratio analysis shows that the MOR/density and MOE/density maximum at 1.02–1.10 g/cm³. The density and resin contents of mulberry scrimber with cold compress and heat setting can be set to 1.0–1.1 g/cm³ and at approximately 12 %, respectively. The mechanical properties of the product meet the maximum requirement indicated in the Chinese national standard for construction. Mulberry scrimber can be a very promising supplement for wood because of its good performance, abundant supply, and renewability.
