华北农牧交错带退化草地土壤种子库动态变化

对华北农牧交错带不同退化演替阶段土壤种子库的数量和物种组成及与地上植被的关系进行了初步的研究,结果表明:农牧交错带草地在刈割和放牧等干扰下,发生逆行演替,土壤种子库中植物种类及种子数量呈递减的趋势,轻度退化类型土壤种子库物种组成最高,有23种植物,种子数量最多,有4 303粒,禾本科所占比例较大,为32.3%;而极度退化草地物种组成最低,有14种植物,种子数量仅有1 156粒,禾本科只占8.4%.草地逆行演替过程中植被与土壤种子库在物种组成上存在一定差别,中度退化阶段差别最大,有18种植物未在种子库中出现,极度退化阶段差别最小,有2种未在种子库中出现.     

野生甘草资源植冠种子库特性的初步研究

甘草(Glycyrrhiza uralensis)是荒漠地区具有植冠种子库的植物。成熟种子硬实率高达80%以上[1],自然条件下种子萌发率很低(约为5%-15%)[2]。本文研究了荒漠区野生甘草植冠种子库大小、种子活力、对土壤种子库的补充、种子脱落机理及植冠种子库的生态功能,指出野生甘草资源植冠种子库在甘草资源保护和恢复方面的重要作用。     

不同覆盖方式对旱地玉米田土壤环境及玉米产量的影响

分析普通地膜覆盖、小麦秸秆覆盖及露地栽培3种不同处理对旱地玉米田土壤环 境、玉米产量构成因素的影响,结果表明:覆盖栽培能改善土壤环境,降低土壤容重,提高土壤 水分利用率,调节土温、湿度,协调水热资源利用的同步性;秸秆覆盖能增加土壤养分含量,特 别是速效钾含量;在玉米生长后期,提高叶面积指数,延长叶片功能,提高玉米的光合能力从而 防止玉米早衰,增加穗重,提高玉米产量。     

Influence of alkyl oleates on efficacy of phenmedipham applied as an acetone:water solution on Galium aparine

Galium aparine plants were treated at the two-whorl stage with technical-grade phenmedipham. The active ingredient was applied at 10 doses as an acetone:water solution, without emulsifier, alone or in mixture with an ester of oleic acid (methyl, butyl, octyl, dodecanyl, octadecanyl). The plant response was described by a log-logistic regression model. Phenmedipham applied alone did not kill the plants even at the highest dose (1621 g a.i. ha⁻¹). In contrast, addition of any alkyl oleate to phenmedipham killed the plants at the 200–400 g a.i. ha⁻¹ doses. The alkyl oleates differently affected activity of phenmedipham. Their effects could be ranked as follows: butyl ≥ methyl; octyl> methyl; dodecanyl ≤ methyl; octadecanyl < methyl oleate. Thus, butyl and octyl oleate promoted phenmedipham activity more than methyl oleate.     

Complementary host–pathogen genetic analyses of the role of fumonisins in the Zea mays–Gibberella moniliformis interaction

Zea mays often is colonized with the fungus Gibberella moniliformis, which produces fumonisin toxins. The role of fumonisins in seedling colonization and blight was studied using complementary genetic analyses of host and pathogen. Only one of two fumonisin B1 (FB1)-insensitive maize backcross lines was more resistant than the FB1-sensitive parent to seedling blight, indicating that the increase in FB1-insensitivity was not associated with an increase in resistance. FB1-producing and nonproducing isogenic fungal strains did not differ in ability to cause seedling blight, but the FB1-producing strain was more effective in systemic colonization of seedlings in reciprocal strain challenge tests. Together, these and previous results indicate that the role of fumonisins depends on complex environmental and genetic contexts in this host–pathogen interaction.     

Effects of Pre-Stratification Storage Conditions on Black Walnut Seed Post-Stratification Germination Capacity

The objective of this work was to quantify changes in the germination capacity of Juglans nigra seeds following storage and then artificial stratification. Seeds were stored at 5 and –20 °C under 5% and 14% internal moisture content (IMC) for 0, 8, 10, and 12 months under conditions with oxygen or under vacuum. Germination percentage (GP) was affected by storage temperature, IMC, and storage period. Seeds stored with 5% IMC succeeded in germinating regardless of the temperature. Seeds stored with 14% IMC did not germinate (–20 °C) or germinated during storage (5 °C). The GP was reduced with the time of storage in seeds at –20 °C and 5% IMC and this effect was avoided in storage under vacuum. In conclusion, the germination capacity of black walnut seeds did not change for up to 12 months at low above-zero temperature and low IMC (5 °C, 5% IMC), being the most cost-effective alternative for long-term storage of black walnut seeds in commercial nurseries. Vacuum storage avoided the decrease of around 50% in average germination capacity of seeds stored for a year at –20 °C.     

生物活性水对番茄种子萌发及幼苗生长的影响

用生物活性水对番茄种子进行浸种处理,稀释倍数分别为10、100、200、400、800,以清水作为对照,探索生物活性水对番茄种子萌发及幼苗生长的影响。结果表明:番茄种子发芽势、发芽率、幼苗株高、根长及叶绿素含量(SPAD)均高于对照,其中稀释100倍的生物活性水最有利于番茄种子萌发,稀释100倍和200倍的生物活性水均有利于促进主根伸长,且生物活性水在一定范围内存在浓度效应。     

艾蒿对不同植物幼苗的化感作用初探

在室内用离体生物测定方法测定了艾蒿水浸提物对黄瓜、油菜、高粱、萝卜和小麦种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响,并同时测定了黄瓜和萝卜幼苗丙二醛(MDA)含量的变化。结果表明,艾蒿水浸提液对5种植物种子的萌发和幼苗生长均有较强的抑制作用,5种受体植物中,以油菜最为敏感,其次为萝卜。0.025g/mL浓度的艾蒿水提液对5种受体油菜、萝卜、黄瓜、小麦和高粱种子的综合效应(SE)分别为100%,87.26%,69.88%,61.11%和52.77%。艾蒿水提物能引起黄瓜和萝卜幼苗MDA含量的升高,表明艾蒿化感作用对受体植物的影响很可能与其引起MDA含量升高,从而导致植物细胞膜的破坏有关。     

纳罗克非洲狗尾草种子产量构成因子分析

为了解纳罗克非洲狗尾草单株种子产量构成因子,探索提高种子产量的解决途径,试验选择7个纳罗克非洲狗尾草单株种子产量构成因子;另取4个单株穗子10等分,从基部依次编为1-10号,试验中脱落的种子为11号。单株种子产量构成因子相关性分析结果表明,纳罗克非洲狗尾草单株种子产量(W)与生殖枝数(X₃)呈极显著正相关(P<0.01),与分蘖数(X₂)呈显著正相关(P<0.05);多元逐步回归单株种子产量W=-16.59156+0.42479X₃-0.03082X₅+0.04923X₆。对穗子不同部位的种子分析结果表明,试验中脱落的种子11号质量最好,其次为7号种子。不同部位的种子产量以1、3、8号种子产量较高,而9、10号种子产量最低。提示,纳罗克非洲狗尾草穗子中部的种子产量较为稳定,产量也较高,而穗尾1/3部的产量最低,收种时应确定以穗子中部的种子成熟为最佳收种时机。
