The time constant of the dehardening of one‐year‐old Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seedlings was studied in three experiments started at different times of the year. The seedlings were transferred from outside to the different controlled conditions in January (Exp. 1), March (Exp. 2) and April (Exp. 3). Changes in the frost resistance of the seedlings were followed on the basis of the temperature response of the specific impedance difference in the shoot. The time constant for dehardening at a temperature of 7.5°C was found to be about 12 days in Exp. 1, about 8 days in Exp. 2, and about 5 days in Exp. 3. the terminal bud burst when the frost resistance of the shoot had risen to about ‐10°C.  相似文献

Roots of 1‐year‐old containerized seedlings of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) were experimentally frozen in December. The seedlings were then grown for 3 weeks in a growth chamber and evaluated with regard to root growth capacity (RGC) and shoot elongation. The subsequent RGC of Scots pine declined as root zone temperatures were lowered from ‐6°C to ‐11°C and from ‐11°C to ‐16°C. Almost no root growth was observed after exposure to ‐20°C. Shoot growth was also negatively affected by low root temperatures but less than root growth. Low root temperatures did not affect Norway spruce as much as Scots pine, although root and shoot growth of Norway spruce were reduced after exposure to the lowest test temperatures (‐16°C and ‐20°C). The length of exposure, ranging between 1 and 8 hours had no effect on subsequent growth.  相似文献

A method for estimating frost hardiness in seedlings of Larix leptolepis in their first stage of acclimation is demonstrated. Cuttings of the shoot tip were frozen linearly from +2°C to ‐36°C. The viability was determined by TTC‐assay. Data were fitted to a logistic regression model, and hardiness was calculated from the fitting parameters. It was shown that hardiness is influenced by the duration of the fertilizer application period. No effect of the nutrient status of N, P or K in the shoots was found.  相似文献

Frost resistance and ice formation in different developmental states of needles of P. canariensis seedlings were assessed. Regrowth after frost damage was used to determine the overall frost survival capacity. Two distinct freezing exotherms (E1, E2) were registered. E1 was between ?1.7 and ?2.0 °C. Initial frost damage (LT10) was 1.5–2.7 °C below E1. E2 was between ?5.6 and ?6.0 °C, and either corresponded with LT50 or occurred in between LT10 and LT50. Current year needles were less frost resistant than 1-year-old needles. The overall recuperation capacity of seedlings revealed that frost survival may be underestimated when only needle damage is assessed. Freezing of seedlings with or without roots had no effect on the frost resistance of needles but recuperation capacity was significantly affected. Seedlings survived ?10 °C during summer indicating that they withstand the lowest naturally occurring frosts in Tenerife.  相似文献

Frost hardiness of tissues along the length of the stem and the root was investigated in first‐year black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) seedlings. Frost hardiness of 1 cm long stem and root segments was evaluated based on Index of Injury, calculated from post‐freezing electrolyte leakage. Frost hardiness was tested approximately weekly beginning seven weeks after seedlings were transferred from an 18 to a 10 h photoperiod, both at day/night temperatures of 26°C/16°C. Trees were transferred to temperatures of 10°C day and 5°C night at a 10 h photoperiod after a further 18 days. Frost hardiness was greater at the terminal bud and least at the root tips. Although shoots were generally more frost hardy than roots, differences in hardiness along the stem and root axes were gradual, rather than abruptly differing at the shoot‐root interface. All tissues, including root tips, increased in frost hardiness after conditioning for 18 days under short photoperiods (10 h) and warm temperatures (26?C/16°C, day/night). Under cold temperatures (10°C/5°C, day/night) all tissues, excepting the root tips, tolerated — 16°C with little subsequent electrolyte leakage.  相似文献

Seedlings of Larix leptolepis were grown in a growth chamber under short day conditions (8 h day) at 4 different photosynthetic photon flux densities (PPFD's). After a period of 8 weeks frost hardiness of the shoot tips and roots, dry matter content, dry weight (dw), content of glucose and starch were determined. The frost hardiness in the shoot tips increased from ‐15°C at a PPFD of 55μmol m‐2s‐1 to about ‐35°C at 440 μmol m‐2s‐1. No effect of PPFD was found on frost hardiness of the roots. A high PPFD results in a high dry matter content. The effect on dry matter content was most pronounced for the shoot tips and less pronounced for the roots. The total dry weight increased for both root and top with increasing PPFD. The height of the plants increased when the PPFD increased up to 220 μmol m‐2s‐1.  相似文献

Seedlings of Pinus sylvestris were cold‐stored for three or six months at ‐4°C or 2°C or overwintered outdoors. Dry weight development and net photosynthetic capacity were then measured during a 60‐day cultivation period in a controlled environment. In all storage regimes the longer storage period gave a faster growth initiation. Photosynthetic recovery was faster for seedlings stored at 2°C than at ‐4°C, due to better recovery of stomatal conductance. The results suggest that there is little difference in seedling development between storage temperatures of ‐4°C and 2°C whereas outdoor storage might cause certain negative effects on subsequent growth of seedlings. This result is discussed with regard to the present winter climate.  相似文献

Photosynthetic performance and root respiration were measured for seedlings of Scots pine and Norway spruce under constant conditions in an open gas exchange system in the laboratory. Measurements were carried out after root exposure to ‐20, ‐5 and 0°C and subsequent longtime storage in darkness at +1 or +4°C. Stomatal conductance in relation to net photosynthetic rates was also investigated after the same treatment of seedlings. Root respiration was low for seedlings whose root system had been exposed to ‐20°C, Scots pine showing lower rates than Norway spruce. This was probably an indication of root damage. At least for one provenance of Scots pine, respiration rates were higher for seedlings stored at +1 than at +4°C. Photosynthetic performance was also lowest for seedlings whose roots had been exposed to +20°C compared to higher temperatures, the difference being more clear‐cut for Norway spruce than for Scots pine. Storage at +1 gave slightly higher photosynthetic rates than at +4°C. There was a close relation between stomatal conductance measured on individual needles and photosynthetic performance measured on the whole seedling.  相似文献

Seventeen‐week‐old black spruce seedlings were hardened under short daylengths and one of three short day length environments, which were either warm (24/16°C, day/night) throughout a 10 week hardening period (WW), cool (10/5°C) throughout hardening (CC), or warm for three weeks followed by seven weeks of cool temperatures (WC). Greatest root and shoot frost hardiness resulted from the exposure of seedlings to three weeks of warm followed by seven weeks of cool temperatures. Seedlings receiving warm temperatures throughout hardening increased in root and shoot frost hardiness, but to a lesser extent than seedlings exposed to cool temperatures. The frost hardiness of woody roots was generally greater than that of fine roots, but the extent of the difference in frost hardiness depended on the time since bud initiation and on the hardening treatment.  相似文献

The patterns of current‐year shoot, needle and terminal bud elongation in seedlings of three Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and three lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. var. latifolia Engelm.) provenances were compared during the third and fourth growing seasons after planting. Lodgepole pine produced longer shoots and buds than did Scots pine, mainly because lodgepole pine formed more stem units and elongated at a faster rate. Stem unit length and the duration of shoot and bud elongation differed relatively little between species and provenances. Lammas or polycyclic growth occurred in some lodgepole pine provenances, but not in any Scots pine provenance, and was associated with enhanced shoot elongation. Needle elongation commenced earlier, proceeded at a faster rate, and was greater in lodgepole pine than in Scots pine, but ceased about the same time in all species and provenances. The heat sum required to attain 50% of final length was lower for shoots and needles in lodgepole pine than in Scots pine, and for shoots in northern provenances than in southern ones. Mitotic activity in the apical meristem of the terminal bud, which occurred less than one week after the seedlings were free from snow, started and ceased about the same time in each species, but was higher in lodgepole pine than in Scots pine early in the shoot elongation period.  相似文献

Operational stock-testing facilities that estimate overwinter storability of seedlings (ability to survive and grow after storage) need a reliable method that provides fast results to forest nurseries. We compared three methods using container-grown seedlings of Douglas-fir, interior spruce, lodgepole pine, and western larch from forest nurseries in British Columbia. On three to nine dates in autumn, frost hardiness at −18°C was estimated using visible injury of foliage or stems (VI), electrolyte leakage from needles or stems (EL), and chlorophyll fluorescence of shoots (CF). Seedlings were placed into overwinter cold storage (−2°C). In the spring, stored seedlings were planted in nursery beds; survival and growth were assessed after one growing season. There were close correlations (r ≥ 0.93) between the assessment methods. Seedlings lifted after they reached thresholds of 69% or higher for CF and 25% or lower for EL and VI had over 90% survival at harvest and doubled shoot dry weight compared with seedlings lifted earlier. Measuring CF was the fastest and most easily replicated method to estimate successful storability, and reduced testing time by 6 days relative to VI tests.  相似文献

We studied effects of soil temperature on shoot and root extension growth and biomass and carbohydrate allocation in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seedlings at the beginning of the growing season. One-year-old Scots pine seedlings were grown for 9 weeks at soil temperatures of 5, 9, 13 and 17 degrees C and an air temperature of 17 degrees C. Date of bud burst, and the elongation of shoots and roots were monitored. Biomass of current and previous season roots, stem and needles was determined at 3-week intervals. Starch, sucrose, glucose, fructose, sorbitol and inositol concentrations were determined in all plant parts except new roots. The timing of both bud burst and the onset of root elongation were unaffected by soil temperature. At Week 9, height growth was reduced and root extension growth was much less at a soil temperature of 5 degrees C than at higher soil temperatures. Total seedling biomass was lowest in the 5 degrees C soil temperature treatment and highest in the 13 degrees C treatment, but there was no statistically significant difference in total biomass between seedlings grown at 13 and 17 degrees C. In response to increasing soil temperature, below-ground biomass increased markedly, resulting in a slightly higher allocation of biomass to below-ground parts. Among treatments, root length was greatest at a soil temperature of 17 degrees C. The sugar content of old roots was unaffected by soil temperature, but the sugar content of new needles increased with increasing soil temperature. The starch content of all seedling parts was lowest in seedlings grown at 17 degrees C. Otherwise, soil temperature had no effect on seedling starch content.  相似文献

Effects of soil temperature on gas exchange of Scots pine seedlings were studied to evaluate the significance of reduced gas exchange in seedlings planted in cold soils. The patterns of net photosynthesis during the 3‐week period at the two constant soil temperatures (8°C and 12°C) were quite similar but at 12°C the photosynthetic rate was higher. After U days differences were no more significant. Photosynthesis at the increasing soil temperature, from 5.5°C to 13°C, decreased for the first 18 days and then recovered up to the level of other treatments. The same patterns were found for transpiration, stomatal conductance, and photosynthetic efficiency. Xylem pressure potentials and relative resistance to water flow after 3 weeks did not differ among soil temperatures. Initiation and development of current‐year needles affected all the results of gas exchange parameters.  相似文献

An uncommonly harsh winter occurred in Finland in 1986/1987, when the minimum monthly temperatures were lower than ‐30°C in December, January and February. This study reports the development of visible symptoms, changes in electrolyte leakage and ultrastructure in Picea abies needles from a rural and an industrial area during this period. The first frost‐induced visible symptoms, entirely or partially greyish needles, appeared in late February following a mild spell. Gradually the discoloured needles turned reddish‐brown and most of the injured needles were shed before the onset of the new season growth. Electrolyte leakage, measured as relative conductivity (RC %), showed substantially higher wintertime values (RC ca 75%) in greyish needles compared with healthy looking green needles (RC ca 30%). Light microscopy showed contracted protoplasts and collapsed cell walls in the greyish part of the needle. The main ultrastructural symptoms in all the samples were the withdrawal of plasma membrane from the cell wall, darkening of the cytoplasm, disappearance of the tonoplast (and central vacuole), contraction of the protoplast and finally collapse of the cell walls and total disintegration of the protoplast. There were no qualitative differences in the frost‐induced visible or structural symptoms between the rural and industrial area.  相似文献

Growth, mycorrhiza and frost resistance of Picea abies seedlings following fertilization with different levels of nitrogen . NPK fertilization with varying levels of nitrogen causes increased growth of spruce seedlings and faster flushing in spring. During the growing season, the frost resistance of all organs of the plants, especially new needles and shoots is the lower, the more nitrogen the plants have received. Consequently, spruce plantations, especially at high altitudes, may be liable to late frost damage.  相似文献

Scots pine seedlings, 20–30 days old, were exposed to simulated summer frost in controlled environment growth chambers. The responses observed showed extreme variation between individual seedlings; seedlings suffering from needle-necrosis, healthy-looking, and dead seedlings were found in the same treatment. Four days exposure to temperatures below –4.5°C caused multiple-leaders maximally in 7.7 % of the pine seedlings and resulted in decreased shoot and root dry weight and shoot length.  相似文献

Damage to Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) seedlings by summer frost was monitored on 10 clear-cuttings of various ages to which slash removal and four types of site preparation had been applied. The clear-cuttings were established on two sites (5 on each) in southern Sweden from 1989 through 1993 and planted each year from the year of cutting until 1993. In total, 7680 seedlings were analysed for frost injuries during the first three years following planting. The site preparation methods evaluated were: application of herbicide to ground vegetation; mowing of ground vegetation; scarification (mounding); and control. Two seedling types, bare-rooted and containerised seedlings, were evaluated.Periods of frost susceptibility were calculated using data on bud and shoot development during 1997 together with weather data for each of the studied years and sites. The date of flushing was well correlated to the air temperature sum (+5°C threshold value) in spring. Frost damage varied considerably between sites and study years. The lowest measured minimum air temperature and the frost-day sum during the frost-susceptible period were correlated to the frequency of frost damage. Soil scarification reduced frost damage in the first growing season. Bare-rooted seedlings had a considerably lower frequency of frost injury compared with containerised ones, possibly because flushing of the former was delayed. There was no statistically significant effect of herbicide application, mowing or slash removal on the frequency of frost damage. Seedling growth was significantly reduced by frost injury, especially in cases where injuries were sustained during several years. Survival was only slightly affected by frost damage.  相似文献

Side - effects of the permethrin formulations Gori 920 and Gori 920 L, the fenvalerate formulation Sumicidin 10 FW and the emulsifier of the Gori formulations were studied in seedlings of Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.]. Whole plant treatment with the Gori formulations in early autumn resulted in a 5-10°C poorer frost tolerance (TDI) later in the autumn. Moreover, this treatment increased mortality by 30% within 2 yrs of testing in field trials. In contrast, a basal part treatment with the Gori formulations and whole plant treatment with Sumicidin 10 FW containing 10% fenvalerate had no negative effects during 2 yrs of field testing. Late autumn treatment with Gori 920 and Gori 920 L, followed by cold storage for 6 months, revealed poorer frost tolerance (3-4°C) in the spring than that in the control. These treatments also reduced leader shoot growth in the first year and increased the frequency of seedlings lacking a dominant leader after 2 yrs by 20-40%. The detrimental agent in Gori 920 L was found to be the emulsifier, ethoxylated nonylphenol, alone and in combination with the dispersal agent, linseed oil. The linseed oil had no significant additional negative effect on frost resistance and growth after the cold storage during the winter. The investigation demonstrates the necessity of testing for possible side - effects before practical use of any commercial pesticide formulation.  相似文献

Containerized seedlings of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) were overwintered on the ground and above ground on pallets. Soil temperatures in elevated containers were lower and showed greater fluctuation than containers on the ground. The lowest temperatures (‐15 to ‐16°C) were observed in containers stored on pallets with little or no snow cover during the winter. Temperatures in the edge rows of containers were lower than interior bed soil temperatures. Lower temperatures were also observed in the top than in the bottom of the container. The storage on pallets resulted in reduced shoot and root growth. Although insulation preventing air movements beneath the container units improved soil temperature conditions and subsequent seedling growth, the best result was obtained when seedlings were stored directly on the ground surface.  相似文献

First‐ and second‐year containerized Norway spruce seedlings were inoculated with conidia of type A (large tree type) and type B (small tree type) of Gremmeniella abietina var. abietina at different times during the summer. The appearance of symptoms after artificial inoculation and natural infection on spruce seedlings were recorded the following spring and compared with the disease symptoms on Scots pine seedlings. The proportion of diseased seedlings after inoculation reached as high as 80%. The susceptible period during the summer began later on the first‐year seedlings than on the second‐year seedlings, and was similar for the pine seedlings. Susceptibility of first‐year seedlings was highest in August and on second‐year seedlings in July. The accumulated temperature sum, relative humidity and height growth for first‐ and second‐year seedlings was assessed. Natural infection in 2002 caused more disease on pine than on spruce seedlings. Experimental thinning of seedlings had no effect on disease incidence. In a preliminary comparison between the ability of A and B types to cause disease in Norway spruce seedlings, type B caused more damage than type A after inoculation. However, type A caused a high disease frequency in other experiments in this study. Symptoms on Norway spruce seedlings often first occurred in the mid‐section of the shoot, and were similar to those observed on pine seedlings: needles turned brown, starting at the needle base, in the spring following inoculation. On first‐year spruce, diseased needles were shed rapidly, in contrast to a slower rate of shedding on first‐year pine seedlings. Pycnidia developed about 2 years after inoculation (on pine 1 year after inoculation). On Norway spruce seedlings the lower part of the shoot, including the lateral shoots, often remained alive. The experiments show that G. abietina can cause disease on containerized Norway spruce seedlings under nursery conditions in Finland. The coincidence of spore dispersal, seedling susceptibility and predisposing factors are important in disease development.  相似文献
