刺槐幼苗形态、生物量分配和光合特性对水分胁迫的响应

采用人工控水设置4个水分梯度,研究1年生刺槐幼苗形态结构、光合特性、生物量积累及其分配对水分胁迫的可塑性响应。结果表明:随干旱胁迫程度的增强,形态指标均逐渐降低;结合异速生长曲线的分析,说明植物能根据干旱胁迫的强度和持续时间采取不同的适应策略。叶片水分饱和亏缺逐渐增加的同时,净光合速率和蒸腾速率逐渐减少,光合限制因素由气孔限制为主逐渐转变为非气孔限制为主。光能利用效率降低,同时光系统的保护机制减弱,造成光抑制程度的加剧。土壤干旱降低了各器官的生物量积累,光合产物向地下部分尤其是侧根迁移,使根生物量比增加;而这种分配方式是以降低叶生物量比为代价的,因此造成根冠比的增大、叶面积比率和比叶面积的减少。可塑性指数分析表明:刺槐幼苗主要通过调节形态和光合能力来适应水分环境的变化,生物量积累和分配的差异可能存在异速生长的影响。

Effects of water stress on morphology,biomass allocation and photosynthesis in Robinia pseudoacacia seedlings

A water gradient experiment with four different water supply levels was conducted by artificial water control in the rainout shelters to study the plasticity of morphological architecture,photosynthetic characters,biomass accumulation and allocation in one-year-old Robinia pseudoacacia L. seedlings in response to diverse water stress. The results showed that morphological variables decreased with an increase in water stress. Seedlings could introduce different strategies based on the intensity and duration ...
