The relationship between root and shoot growth were determined for water-seeded rice and Echinochloa phyllopogon in greenhouse experiments. When grown in monoculture at four nitrogen rates (0, 60, 120, 180 kg N ha−1), root dry weight was highly correlated with canopy structure for both species. Echinochloa phyllopogon showed a significantly stronger response to the nitrogen rate than rice. When rice and E. phyllopogon were grown in competition, with roots either separated or allowed to mingle, root competition contributed more than shoot competition to reductions in the growth of the target species. The results suggest that root competition may be the primary mechanism determining competitive outcomes between water-seeded rice and E. phyllopogon . The importance of root competition and the relationship between root and shoot growth demonstrated in this study suggest that researchers should not rely solely on correlations between shoot traits and competitive ability as evidence that competition is primarily for light. Our results also suggest the importance of considering the whole plant when assessing rice cultivars for competitive ability.  相似文献

Laboratory and greenhouse experiments were conducted to evaluate the allelopathic potential of dwarf lily turf ( Ophiopogon japonicus Ker-Gawler) on lettuce, alfalfa, timothy and mustard plant growth. Dry leaf debris, aqueous extract of fresh leaves and O. japonicus grown soil were investigated. Emergence, dry weight, and root and shoot length of all bioassay species were inhibited when grown in soil incorporated with oven-dried leaves of O. japonicus. The inhibitory effects were often dependent on the concentration. However, the degree of inhibition varied among the test plant species. The aqueous leaf extract was highly phytotoxic and it significantly reduced germination, seedling growth, and the fresh weight of all the test species at all rates. The emergence and growth of all four tested plants were severely inhibited when planted in O. japonicus contaminated soil. These results indicate that O. japonicus incorporated leaf debris, leaf aqueous extract and its rhizosphere soil suppress seed germination, radicle growth, seedling emergence and seeding growth of certain weeds and suggest that these responses were attributed to an allelopathic effect.  相似文献

Height and fresh weight of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. var GA 522 DR) grown in sand were reduced by metolachlor (2-chloro-N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl) acetamide) (0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, or 1 ppmw) applied preemergence. Significantly different responses were obtained from plants grown at two light intensities (270 and 27 μein/m2/sec). When grown in nutrient solution containing 0, 0.0156, 0.0625, 0.25, 1, 16, or 64 ppmw metolachlor, shoot and root lengths were inhibited by metolachlor; fresh and dry weights of shoot, root, and total plant decreased as metolachlor concentration increased. Carotene content (micrograms per gram fresh weight) in sorghum leaves was decreased by metolachlor. Specific activity of carotene synthesized from [2-14C] mevalonic acid by carrot (Daucus carota L.) disks was reduced 50% by 10?5 and 10?4M metolachlor. Thus, terpenoid biosynthesis is influenced by metolachlor. Gibberellins are terminal products of plant terpenoid biosynthesis, and GA3 reverses metolachlor inhibition of growth at specific ratios of GA3 and metolachlor but not at other concentrations. Thus, one effect of metolachlor on plants may be an inhibition of GA synthesis that results in shoot and root growth reductions as metolachlor concentration increases. Other growth responses of plants to metolachlor are unexplained.  相似文献

In many arid and semiarid regions worldwide, high levels of soil salinity is a key driver of land degradation, as well as a key impediment to re-establishing plant cover. Combating land degradation and erosion associated with soil salinity requires experimental determination of plant species that can grow in soils with high levels of salinity and can be used to re-establish plant cover. Herein, we evaluated the responses of untested candidate cultivars of two halophytic grass species to high soil salinity: alkali sacaton (Sporobolus airoides Torr.) and seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum Swartz). We evaluated the growth responses of both species in a greenhouse under control (no-salt) and various levels of NaCl salinity (EC 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, and 48?dSm?1) using Hoagland solution in a hydroponics system in a randomized complete block design trial. At all salinity levels, sacaton grass had a greater shoot height, shorter root length, lower shoot fresh and dry weights, and poorer color and general quality compared to seashore paspalum. The shoot fresh and dry weights of both grasses were greatest at the low to medium levels of salinity, with the greatest response observed at EC 16?dSm?1. At the highest level, salinity significantly reduced shoot fresh and dry weights of both grasses. Because growth of both halophytic species exhibited high tolerance to salinity stress and were stimulated under low to medium levels of salinity, both species could be considered suitable candidates for re-establishing plant cover in drylands to combat desertification and land degradation associated with high levels of soil salinity.  相似文献

The allelopathic effect of Amaranthus retroflexus L., Amaranthus blitoides S. Wats, and Amaranthus gracilis Desf. on wheat Triticum durum L. was investigated under laboratory, glasshouse and field conditions. Laboratory experiments showed that fresh shoot or root extract of the three weed species reduced germination, coleoptile length, root length and root dry weight of wheat seedlings. The inhibitory effects were rate dependent, with low concentrations of shoot extract promoting shoot growth of wheat. Fresh plant extracts were more phytotoxic than dried plant extracts and shoot extracts had higher detrimental effects than root extracts. In pot experiments, dried shoot extract of A. gracilis increased shoot and root dry weights of wheat seedlings. For A retroflexus and A. blitoides the extracts of these and dried shoots (8 g kg?1), which had been added to soil mixtures significantly reduced ger-mination and growth of wheat seedlings. Addition of up to 16 g kg?1 of A. gracilis residues promoted shoot growth of wheat and had no significant harmful effect on root growth. Roots appeared more sensitive to allelopathic effect than shoots. Under field conditions, incorporation of A. retroflexus or A. blitoides residues in the soil reduced height, grain and straw yield of wheat, whereas A. gracilis residues stimulated plant height and increased yield.  相似文献

The allelopathic activity of Mexican sunflower [ Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsl.) A. Gray] in soil under natural field conditions and the effect of water stress on the growth and allelopathic activity of this plant were investigated. Seed germination, shoot growth and root growth of tested plant species in soil collected from a field where Mexican sunflower had been grown for 5 years were less than those in soil from an area without the plant. Growth of young leaves, mature leaves, senescent leaves, stem and roots of Mexican sunflower was reduced with decrease in soil moisture level. The allelopathic activity of water extracts (per dry weight of starting material) from each part of the plants grown at low soil moisture levels was greater than that of the water extracts from the same part of the plants grown at high soil moisture levels. The allelopathic activity was found in the soil from the pots previously planted with Mexican sunflower to a similar extent (per plant) at different soil moisture levels. These results suggested that, in the field, under water stress conditions, the growth of Mexican sunflower was reduced but the plants contained a greater amount of allelopathic substance(s) per dry weight than in the absence of water stress. It was considered that allelopathic activity of Mexican sunflower in soil was maintained to a similar extent under various soil moisture conditions in natural fields.  相似文献

The allelopathic potential of buckwheat ( Fagopyrum esculentum ) was investigated. Field study showed that living buckwheat reduced weed biomass compared with plots without buckwheat. Laboratory study revealed that root exudates suppressed root and shoot growth of weeds and reduced weed dry weight. Sequential partitioning of the aqueous ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of buckwheat showed that the chloroform extract caused an 80% reduction in radicle elongation of lettuce seedlings at a concentration of less than 100 p.p.m. Fagomine, 4-piperidone and 2-piperidinemethanol were isolated and identified by 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance from the chloroform extract. These compounds caused a 50% inhibition of radicle elongation in lettuce seedlings at concentrations of less than 100 p.p.m. These results suggest that compounds 1, 2, and 3 might act as allelochemicals and affect the growth or germination of different plant species.  相似文献

The effects of leaches from dry leaves of 71 ground cover plant species on lettuce were tested at the first screening. The inhibitory effects on radicle and hypocotyl elongations of lettuce varied with the different species of cover plants that were used. Eight species of Oxalis showed strong inhibitions (4–27% of untreated control on radicle elongation). Inhibitory activities of seven species of cover plants on three weed species, live amaranth ( Amaranthus lividus ), southern crabgrass ( Digitaria ciliaris ) and common lambsquarters ( Chenopodium album ), were tested at the second screening. Moss pink ( Phlox subulata ), trefoil ( Oxalis brasiliensis ), red spiderlily ( Lycoris radiata ), creeping thyme ( Thymus serpyllum ), European pennyroyal ( Mentha pulegium ), roman chamomile ( Chamaemelum nobile ) and star-of-Bethlehem ( Ornithogalum umbellatum ) were selected as donor plants because of their high inhibitory effects on lettuce growth and their usefulness as ornamental ground cover plants. Effects of leaches from dry leaves and exudates from the roots of these species were assayed on agar. Radicle elongations of all tested weed species were inhibited by leaches from trefoil and red spiderlily (8–31% and 14–24% of untreated control, respectively) and exudates from moss pink, trefoil and creeping thyme (11–43%, 31–74% and 22–67% of untreated control, respectively).  相似文献

Competition between wild oat (Avena fatua L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was studied in two experiments; a replacement series model and a technique for separation of root and shoot systems. Wild oat and wheat in association resulted in a relative yield total very close to unity showing that the two species were‘crowding for the same space’(or competing for the same resources) and were‘mutually exclusive'. Wild oat was more competitive than wheat, as shown by its aggressivity relative to wheat, relative yields, shoot dry weights and other plant attributes. The greater competitive ability of wild oat was predominantly due to its greater root competitive ability, while the two species had similar shoot competitive ability. Root competition had a much greater effect on the relative performance of the two species than did shoot competition. The effects of root and shoot competition were additive.  相似文献

Crude extract-induced oxidative damage using the cyanobacterium, Hapalosiphon sp., was investigated in wheat seedlings ( Triticum aestivum L. cv. Norin 61) and onion seedlings ( Allium cepa L. cv. Raputa II). The analysis of root cell viability or cell death using Evans blue uptake showed that the root-tip cells of wheat and onion lost viability after 24 h and 48 h treatment with 3 g dry weight (DW) L−1 of the crude extract, respectively. Lipid peroxidation was induced in the roots of both species and the shoots of onion, whereas no increase in lipid peroxide formation was observed in the wheat shoots. In onion, the degree of random DNA fragmentation increased with the increasing concentration of the extract and laddering of the DNA was observed with 6 g DW L−1 of the extract, but no apparent DNA ladder formation occurred in the wheat. Pretreatment for 1 h with the NADPH oxidase inhibitors, diphenyleneidonium or imidazole, reduced the crude extract-induced root cell death in both species. From the results, we suggest that the Hapalosiphon sp. crude extract might enhance reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, which causes membrane lipid damage and fragmentation of the DNA of plant cells, resulting in cell death and growth inhibition. The crude extract-mediated phytotoxic damage might be caused by ROS, triggered by NADPH oxidase.  相似文献

The phytotoxic activities of the crude extract from the cyanobacterium, Hapalosiphon sp., on the initial growth and root cell division of several plant species were investigated. Although the germination percentages of the plants were not affected by the extract, their root and shoot growth were remarkably suppressed, depending on the extract concentrations. Roots were more sensitive to the extract than shoots and the sensitivity, determined by the I50 concentrations between the susceptible and tolerant species, differed by 5 and 11 times in dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants, respectively. The mitotic index for wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. cv. Norin 61) root cells was not affected, but the mitotic index for onion ( Allium cepa L. cv. Raputa II) was reduced with the increasing concentration of the extract. In the onion root meristem, the number of cells in prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase were decreased significantly with 6 g DW L−1 (g dry weight of algae L−1). This suggests that the extract might inhibit the processes regulating the entry of cells into mitosis.  相似文献

The agronomic characteristics of a newly bred potent allelopathic rice, K21, including morphological appearance, resembled its female parent, Dongjinbyeo, except for 8 days' earlier heading and 9 cm shorter plant height. The water extract of K21 showed a greater inhibitory effect on the shoot and root growth of barnyardgrass than its female parent, but less than the male parent, Kouketsumochi. At the highest extract concentration of 5.0%, the inhibitory effect of K21 on the shoot growth of barnyardgrass was ≈ 64%, similar to its male parent. The dry weight of the barnyardgrass shoot was reduced by 13.0% when grown with K21 and 30.2% when grown with its male parent. There was no inhibitory effect on the shoot dry weight of barnyardgrass when grown with the female parent. The activity of cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase in K21 was ≈ 1.8-fold higher than that of the female parent, but significantly lower than that of the male parent. The ρ-coumaric acid content in K21 was ≈ 60% higher than that of the female parent, but it was about half of the male parent. The total amount of phenolic compounds in K21 was ≈ 11.5% higher than in the female parent, but about half of the male parent. The results obtained suggest that the newly bred K21 contains desirable allelopathic traits derived from the male parent, Kouketsumochi, and acceptable agronomic traits from its female parent, Dongjinbyeo.  相似文献

A study in growth chambers with three irradiance levels was carried out over a four-week period on individual seedlings of spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and five weed species (Brassica rapa L. ssp. oleifera (DC.) Metzger, Chenopodium album L., Galeopsis tetrahit L., Stellaria media (L.) Vill., and Viola arvensis Murray). Increased irradiance resulted in larger dry weight, net photosynthetic rate, relative growth rate (RGR), net assimilation rate (NAR), and lower leaf area ratio (LAR). The number of leaves per plant, plant length, leaf area, and shoot/root ratio were unaffected by irradiance levels, During the experimental period the net photosynthetic rate increased, while NAR remained the same, and RGR, LAR, and shoot/ root ratio decreased. On the basis of leaf area and dry weight, especially at the high irradiance level during the last part of the experimental period, barley, B. rapa, and C. tetrahit had the largest values, followed by C. album and S. media with medium values, and V. arvensis with the smallest values. As for leaf area and dry weight, S. media took more advantage of the low than the high irradiance level compared with C. album. Species differences are discussed with regard to competitive ability.  相似文献

ABSTRACT Using Murashige and Skoog (MS) as a basal medium, the effects of varying levels and combinations of plant growth regulators required for shoot tip and root proliferation in healthy and aster yellows phytoplasma (AYP)- and Spiroplasma citri-infected periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) shoots were studied. Number of shoots and fresh and dry mass of healthy and AYP-infected shoots increased when benzyladenine (BA) concentrations were increased from 0.5 to 4 mg/liter. The maximum number of shoots for both healthy and AYP-infected plants was obtained when grown in MS medium supplemented with BA at 4 mg/liter and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) at 0.5 mg/liter. S. citri-infected shoots proliferated the most when grown in MS medium containing BA at 2 mg/liter and IAA at 0.5 mg/liter. The best medium for root production in healthy periwinkle shoots contained alpha-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) at 0.5 mg/liter, whereas the best medium for AYP-infected shoots contained indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) at 2.5 mg/liter, both in combination with kinetin at 0.1 mg/liter. S. citri-infected shoots had the best root growth when grown in medium supplemented with IBA at 5.0 mg/liter and kinetin at 0.1 mg/liter. The concentration of cytokinin and auxin needed for maximum shoot proliferation differed between AYP- and S. citri-infected shoot tips, strongly indicating that the two mollicutes may cause different changes in endogenous cytokinin and auxin levels. The concentrations of NAA and IBA needed for root growth of S. citri-infected shoots were two- to fivefold higher than the concentrations needed for healthy and AYP-infected shoots, clearly demonstrating that S. citri infection caused a shortage of auxins that resulted in retardation of secondary root growth. Chlorophyll content was markedly reduced in periwinkles infected with AYP or S. citri compared with chlorophyll in healthy periwinkles. AYP caused a decrease in carotenoid in leaves 6 weeks after graft-inoculation, but carotenoid content was unchanged in S. citri-infected leaves throughout the test period. Anthocyanin content in periwinkles infected with AYP decreased significantly by 4 weeks postinoculation, whereas anthocyanin content in periwinkles infected with S. citri increased. Anthocyanin content in leaf tissues, however, was reduced as a result of AYP and S. citri infection. Pigment changes induced by AYP and S. citri, whether similar or different compared with those of healthy periwinkle shoots, provide important information for interpreting pathogenesis when linked with plant growth regulators.  相似文献

We evaluated the morphological and physiological responses to contrasting above- and below-ground resources for the invasive weed, Isatis tinctoria L. (dyer's woad). Plants were grown under low and high levels of light [shade (50% of ambient) and full sun], soil water (50 and 100 mL day−1), and soil nitrogen (N) (0 and 20 mg N kg−1 soil) in 8 L pots in 63 day glasshouse experiments conducted during winter and spring. Soil-N enrichment did not increase any of the growth variables (shoot and root dry mass, shoot:root ratio, leaf area, and specific leaf area) or physiological variables (stomatal conductance and 13C discrimination) in either experiment. The absence of plasticity in response to changes in soil-N supply suggests that I. tinctoria may survive and persist in nutrient-poor conditions by having low-N requirements, low-N productivity, or both. In contrast, plants compensated for shaded conditions by altering leaf area, specific leaf area, and shoot:root ratio to improve light capture. We discuss the potential mechanisms whereby response to these variable resources may be associated with a series of adaptations that favour the ability to tolerate and colonize harsh, nutrient-poor conditions, as well as invade shaded and undisturbed sites.  相似文献

The role of cysteine proteinases in the growth and development of healthy and PVYNTN infected potato plants (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. ‘Désirée’) and the subcellular localization of a particular potato leaf cysteine proteinase PLCP-2 were studied in tissue culture. The immunolocalization of PLCP-2 on the ultrathin sections of potato plants was examined by electron microscopy. PLCP-2 was found in protein bodies in vacuoles, in cytoplasm and in cell walls of shoot tips, leaves, stems and root tips. PLCP-2 was observed at all locations where its endogenous inhibitors PCPI 6·6 and multicystatin were localized, which indicates the possible regulation of PLCP-2 by these inhibitorsin vivo . In order to study the physiological role of cysteine proteinases in potato plants, their total activity was diminished by introducing Ep-475 into the growth media and further into the plant through root absorption. The morphological characteristics of healthy and PVYNTN infected plants grown on media with added Ep-475 were followed. The results suggest that cysteine proteinases are involved in the synthesis and transport of plant metabolites and in processes that lead to organogenesis. Observations also indicate that the ratio between cysteine proteinases and their endogenous inhibitors in potato plants is altered after infection with PVYNTN.  相似文献

This study investigated the allelopathic effects of kudzu litter on the seed germination and early growth of Bidens pilosa and Lolium perenne . The bioassays, with various concentrations (10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 g L−1) of aqueous kudzu litter leachate, significantly affected the germination percentages and radicle growth of both species. These parameters decreased progressively when the seedlings were exposed to increasing concentrations of leachate. The root and shoot length, dry weight, and chlorophyll concentration of the B. pilosa and L. perenne seedlings also were significantly affected when they were grown in leachate-amended soil. However, the chlorophyll fluorescence values of the seedlings subjected to different concentrations of aqueous kudzu litter leachate indicated that the mere presence of leachate in the soil was not stressful for the plants. The seedlings of both species were under stressful conditions only when they were grown in the soil that was treated with higher concentrations of leachate (30, 40, or 50 g L−1). A 6 week decomposition study of the kudzu litter in soil was conducted to observe the retention of phenolic content in the soil. The results showed that, although the concentration of dissolved organic carbon decreased with increasing decomposition, the phenolic concentration was not significantly affected when the observation period ended. This suggests that the phytotoxic properties of kudzu litter remain stable in soil systems for a considerable amount of time after incorporation into the soil.  相似文献
