  • The net photosynthetic rates ( Pn) of young pear ( Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai) trees were determined under field condition with a CIRAS-1 portable photosynthesis system in the late of May and the early of October, respectively. The results showed that Pn of most leaves in the middle of shoots were rather high and
    stable, while that in the base or top were low. Among 19 cultivars, the highest Pn, 13.13 μmol·m- 2 ·s- 1 , was found in‘Zhongli 1’, and the lowest in‘Akitsuge’, only 8.08 μmol·m- 2 ·s- 1 , and the others were the medium between them. The analysis of factors that affected leaf photosynthesis showed that leaf Pn was not dependent on shoot length directly, but on their growth situation. Pn of the leaves on a growing long shoot were significantly higher than that on a terminated middle or short shoot. The Pn when the upper surface of leaves was irradiated were significantly higher than that when the lower surface of leaves was irradiated. The Pn of young healthy leaves about 50-day-age on autumn shoots were significantly higher than that of older leaves about 150-day-age on sp ring shoots. The Pn determined in the morning were higher than that in the afternoon. The theoretical calculation showed that light compensation point of leaf photosynthesis of pear was 59.40μmol ·m- 2 ·s- 1 , apparent quantum efficiency 0.038, dark respiration 2.25μmol·m- 2 ·s- 1 , CO2 compensation point 42.17μmol·mol- 1 , the lowest leaf temperature 13.77℃, the optimum leaf temperature 26.86℃, the highest leaf temperature 39.96℃, the optimum atmospheric relative humidity 26.50% , and the highest 84.23%.

  • Changes in the micro-distribution of calcium in litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn. ) pericarp ( fruit skin) were compared using electron probe ( X-ray despersive spectrometer ) between ‘Huaizhi’ and‘Nuomici’, which differ significantly in cracking susceptibility. The results showed that cracking-resistant ‘Huaizhi’has a stronger ability to accumulate calcium than the susceptible ‘Nuomici’. Before spongy tissue was visible 〔10 days after anthesis (DAA) 〕, calcium had accumulated at the site of spongy tissue formation, which formed calcium-rich zones in the inner mesocarp. These calcium-rich zones largely disappeared as the spongy tissue was formed (52 - 66 DAA) , with endocarp becoming“calcium rich”, indicating intercellular re-localization of calcium occurred within the pericarp. At later stages of fruit development (66 and 80 DAA) , calcium accumulated abundantly in the ep idermis cells, which formed a calcium-rich layer in both cultivars.However, the lowest calcium region was localized in the sclerenchyma tissue immediately beneath the ep idermis. The paper also discussed the interrelation between difference in calcium accumulation ability within the two cultivars and their seed development aswell as the roles of calcium in various parts in mechanical properties of the pericarp.

  • Abstract ( 2056 ) HTML ( 1830 ) PDF (264KB) ( 1830 )    
  • The experiment was conducted with 7-year-old ‘Hongdeng’ and‘Zaohongbaoshi’ sweetcherry (Prunus avium L. ) trees, and effects of p lant growth regulators on the content of phenolics and relate enzymes activity and rate of germination were analyzed and studied. Results showed that the effects of different plant growth regulators were different: ABA p romoted the accumulation of phenolics 6-BA and GA3 postponed the accumulation of phenolics in the primary stage; In the middle stage, ABA kep t the content of phenolics high while 6-BA and GA3 promoted the content of phenolics peak then it dropped; In the last period, ABA postponed the drop of the phenolics content, 6-BA and GA3 were contrary to ABA. The effect of CA3 was better than that of ABA. ABA made PAL activity raise, and dropped the PPO activity; 6-BA and GA3 made PAL dropped but raised the PPO activity. Effects of different plant growth regulators on the germination rate were different in different periods of dormancy. In the primary stage, 6-BA and GA3 on the rate of germination were not obvious; In the middle stage, 6-BA and GA3 can break dormancy and made the rate of germination more than 50%; In the last period, effects of 6-BA and GA3 were similar to the middle of stage. In the whole period of dormancy, ABA made the rate of germination lowerd and inhibited the dormancy-release.

  • Acta Horticulturae Sinica. 2005, 32(4): 589-593.
  • Abstract ( 1346 ) HTML ( 1266 ) PDF (204KB) ( 1266 )    
  • Using sodium nitrop russide as a nitric oxide (NO) donor, the effect of different concentration of SNP treatment on the activities of the softening enzymes of the post-harvest strawberry (‘Fengxiang’) was investigated. The results showed that in the fruits treated by 5μmol·L - 1 SNP aqueous solution, the activity of CAT could be obviously increased and those of PME, cellulase PPO and LOX could be significantly inhibited. However, exo-PG activity was hardly changed. This further opened out the mechanism that p roper concentration of NO could inhibit senescence of fruits by the way of effecting the activities of softening enzymes and p roved NO took on dual biological effects on senescence of fruits.

  • ‘Cabernet Shelongzhu’ is an important grape cultivar in China used for wine. However, its genetic origin is not clear yet. In this study, depending on the RAPD (Random Amp lification Polymorphism DNA) analysis with 36 primers, 14 wine grape cultivars were classified into four groups by UPGMA ( unweighted pair group method using arithmetic average) cluster analysis. Four cultivars of them, i. e. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Shelongzhu, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, belonged to the same group. The SSR ( Simple Sequence Repeat) analysis further indicated that they were four independent cultivars. Also, the results from SSR analysis showed that three phenotypes of‘Cabernet Shelongzhu’ sampled from different regions were genetically distinct with Euclidean distances ranging from 1.41 to 1.73, which were much smaller than those among distinct cultivars. Comparingwith other cultivars, the phenotype of Cabernet Shelongzhu from Beigou at Penglai was the closest to Cabernet Franc with the Euclidean distance of 2.45, and followed by Changli and
    Yantai with the Euclidean distances of 2.56 and 2.64, respectively. The historical origin of the cultivar ‘Cabernet Shelongzhu’was investigated and discussed.

  • Abstract ( 1476 ) HTML ( 1631 ) PDF (290KB) ( 1631 )    
  • Comparison of the activities of protective enzymes, contents of osmotic adjustment substances and photosynthetic characteristics was made between grafted and self-root tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. ) seedlings under NaCl stress. The results showed that activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) , peroxidase ( POD) , ascorbate2specific peroxidase (APX) and content of ascorbic acid (AsA) in leaves of grafted seedlings were significantly higher than those of self-root seedlings. Malondiadehyde (MDA) content in leaves of grafted seedlings was significantly lower than that of self-root seedlings. The contents of free proline, soluble sugar and soluble protein in the leaves of grafted seedlings were significantly higher than those of self-root seedlings. Photosynthesis was inhibited under NaCl stress, but the performance of the grafted seedlings was superior to that of self-root seedlings. The Na+/ K+ value in the roots of grafted seedlings was significantly lower than that of self-root seedlings. Base on these results, it could be concluded that the resistance to NaCl stress of grafted tomato seedlings was stronger than that of self-root seedlings.

  • Tomato plants were dealed with 35℃ sub-high temperature in greenhouse from the first bud of tomato effloresced to 30 days after florescence. The results showed that under the condition of sub2high temperature, the net photosynthetic rate, stomatal limitation of photosynthesis and the content of chlorophyll of tomato leaves decreased. Ultrastructure of chlorop last was changed. The numbers of stoma increased obviously, and the opening degree of stoma was much larger than the control at 25℃. The envelope of chloroplast was partially injured, the number of grana decreased, and the thylakoids of grana was loose. The number of oil body increased while the starch grain decreased first then increased. Effects of 35℃ sub-high temperature on the photosynthesis of tomato leaveswere independent of stoma factors.

  • Acta Horticulturae Sinica. 2005, 32(4): 632-637.
  • Abstract ( 1684 ) HTML ( 1088 ) PDF (503KB) ( 1088 )    
  • The effect of spermidine and polyamine biosynthetical inhibitor-MGBG on endogenous polyamine contents and p rotein p rofiles of ovary and its correlation with cucumber parthenocarpy and ovary development were studied using parthenocarpic line EP26 and non-parthenocarp ic line ZR-2 treatedwith exogenous spermidine andMGBG. The resultswere as follows: the exogenous app lications of Spd at 1 mmol/L at 2 days before anthesis could significantly increase endogenous Spd, Spm and Put levels in the non-pollinated ovaries of ZR-2 at 2 days after anthesis, and the increasing in fruit length and fresh fruitmass could also be observed, which resulted in parthenocarp ic ovary ( young fruit) growth in the line ZR-2 when non-pollinated. However, the contents of Spd and Spm in the ovary of EP26, treated withMGBG, were decreased dramatically, while the content of Put was increased. The growth of fruit length and fresh fruit mass was inhibited, which led to ovary wither.
    The results suggested that both Spd and Spm promote cucumber parthenocarpy and ovary (young fruit) growth. We also studied changes of specific protein profiles during ovary /young fruit development treated with exogenous Spd on ZR-2 andMGBG on EP26. The results showed that specific proteins of 88 kD, 82 kD, 55 kD and 37 kD were identified in the ovary/young fruit of ZR-2 with exogenous Spd application. Application of polyamine
    biosynthesis inhibitorMGBG on EP26 ovary could induce the biosynthesis of specific proteins of 47 kD and 25 kD, but lead to the disappearance of the proteins of 85 kD, 45 kD and 10 kD. Those results indicated that exogenous application of Spd and MGBG might stimulate ovary/young fruit growth and induce parthenocarpy by regulating endogenous Spd and Spm levels and inducing the synthesis of some specific proteins.

  • A hydroponic experiment was carried out to study effects of different ammonium /nitrate ratios on content and distribution of nitrate and oxalate in sp inach. The results showed that biomass increased with increased ammonium p roportion firstly, then decreased obviously and sp inach had the highest biomass as ammonium /nitrate ratioswere 25 /75 and 50 /50. Nitrate content of different tissues decreased markedlywith ammonium proportion increasing. Total oxalate and soluble oxalate content of leaf decreased obviously in response to elevating ammonium proportion, while oxalate content of petiole and lateral root was the lowest as ammonium /nitrate ratio was 50 /50, oxalate content of tap root decreased with increasing ammonium proportion, too. Distribution of oxalate in different tissues of spinach was uneven, and decreased in the following order: leaf >tap root > petiole > lateral root, and oxalate content of leafwas far higher than that of other tissues. Soluble oxalate was predominant form of oxalate in spinach, which occupied up to more than 69% of total oxalate in the other treatments except that soluble oxalate constituted 38% of total oxalate in leaves as ammonium is sole nitrogen resource. Therefore, ammonium /nitrate ratios of 25 /75 and 50 /50 are benefit for growth of spinach and can reduce soluble oxalate and total oxalate content in sp inach.

  • The spore sterile culture and routine propagation of Pteris cretica ‘Albo-lineata’were studied respectively. The results showed that the spore germination was of the Vittaria2type while the gametophyte development was of the Ceratop teris2type. The maximum germination rate was obtained in 1 /2MS medium, which reached 82.3%; the medium with sucrose concentration being less than 2% was appropriate for spore germination; the highest rate of gametophyte to sporophyte was achieved in MS medium, which reached
    53.4%; the transplant survival rate of sporophyte in vitro reached above 80%. The mixed soil ( the turf and the sand blend in the volume ratio of 1 to 1) was the optimal growing medium for spore routine propagation, in which the rate of gametophyte to the sporophyte was up to 89.2%. When the first cotyledon of the sporophyte seedling grew to 1 - 2 cm, the sporophyte seedlings should be rep lanted in the growing medium which was composed of turf, vermiculite, sand and organic fertilizers. The highest survival rate reached 98.1%. The
    young gametophyte seedlings of 10 cm height had already possessed ornamental values.

  • The plant growth reduced in salinity by inhibition in nitrogen, phosphate, potassium up take, but little study of supplemental nitrogen effects with plant was available. Plant growth and the contents of several nutrient ingredients which included nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, free amino acids, soluble sugar,soluble protein and total anthraquinone in leaves of Aloe vera seedlings by 200 mmol·L -1 NaCl stresswith different concentrations of NH4NO3 were studied. The results showed that the plant dry mass was increased with the application of NH4NO3 (3.75 - 18.75 mmol·L - 1 ) under salt stress, i. e. supplemented nitrogen promoted salt tolerace of Aloe vera seedlings. Increased with nitrogen level, content of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, free amino acids, soluble sugar, soluble p rotein and total anthraquinone in leaves were increased obviously and reached the maximum value at 11.25 - 15 mmol·L - 1 NH4 NO3 level while the excessive NH4NO3 application ( 18.75 mmol·L-1 ) led to the negative effect. It appeared distinct difference among different-site leaves for the content of nutritional ingredients. Content of total P, thraquinone and soluble protein in the upper leaveswere higher and the same with soluble sugar in mid leaves, total N in down leaves. Nitrogen, phosphate, potassium increase in Aloe vera leaves with supplemental NH4NO3 in salinity played an important role in maintaining ion homeostasis, nutrient content and cell potential, while free amino acids, soluble sugar and soluble protein was significant organ osmoticas in plant responsing to salt stress. In some extent, high salt tolerance of Aloe vera was improved by supp lemental N was main caused by the enhancement of N, P, K, free amino acids, soluble sugar and soluble protein content in leaves.

  • Abstract ( 1363 ) HTML ( 1223 ) PDF (168KB) ( 1223 )    
  • The changes of pollen germination rate ( PGR) and endogenous hormones during single flower opening of Chinese jujube ( Ziziphus jujuba Mill. ) were studied using two cultivars‘Dongzao’and ‘Hunan Jidanzao’. The results showed that the PGR of Chinese jujube changed significantly during single flower opening. The PGR reached its highest at the stage of sepal flat in‘Hunan Jidanzao’and at the begining stage of opening in‘Dongzao’. PGR of‘Dongzao’kep t lower than 3% duringwhole flower season. High level ethylene, low level GA3 and Z during single flower opening were related to very low PGR in‘Dongzao’. In view of its severely low PGR, high fertility of embryo, aswell as high quality for fresh consuming, ‘Dongzao’could be used as a desirable female parent in the cross breeding of Chinese jujube.

  • Genetic DNAs from ‘Shixia’ longan (Dimocarpus longana Lour. ) and its sport line which could generate larger fruits containing sweet osmanthus flavour were amplified by RAPD with 160 10 bp single and mixed random primers to study the genetic substance change of the sport. Six single and fourmixed primers were screened which could produce stable polymorphic segments between the two clones. 13 out of the total 99 fragments amp lified were distinctive including the loss of a normal segment and appearance of a new one.The polymorphic fragments amplified were S71-560, S161-813, Z70-800, etc. The difference of amplified DNA segments showed that the large fruit and sweet osmanthus mutant was closely related to changes of some genetic substances in the sport line. Further studying also showed that the genotype of the sport could be inherited stablely by way of asexual propagation. The polymorphic segments could be used to forecast the fruit characters of the grafted seedlings from the sport scion.

  • The effect of dicyandiamide (DCD) on the accumulation of nitrate in Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis var. utilis Tsen. et Lee. was investigated in the present study. The results indicated that DCD, which was applied at 20 d before harvest of the vegetable, had a significant effect on lowering the
    amount of NO 3--N and enhancing the level of NH4+-N in the substrate. Consequently, DCD supp ressed excessive accumulation of nitrate in the vegetable, while yield of the vegetable was not affected by the app lication of
    DCD, suggesting that the decrease of nitrate accumulation in vegetable treated with DCD was resulted from the inhibition of nitrification and the reduction of nitrate absorption.

  • The first flowering time, changes of p lant height, crown diameter, branch number, and flower number of Petunia hybrida ‘Fantasy Pink’cultivated separately in long days and short days were recorded. Seedlings of petunia ‘Fantasy Pink’were transferred from short days to long days upon reaching 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 leaf stages respectively, the time from transfer to first floweringwere measured. It is concluded that petunia ‘Fantasy Pink’ tends to have an up right habit under long days and a compact habit under
    short days; petunia ‘Fantasy Pink’ is a quantitative long day plant; it should be more vegetatively developed before flowering under short days; and the end of the juvenile phase of petunia ‘Fantasy Pink’ is 8-leaf stage. Primary suggestion was p resented that petunia ‘Fantasy Pink’planted under short days before 8-leaf stage to be compacted in morphology, and then under long days to be fast in flowering.
