Abstract

This study compared the effects of container type on early root system morphology of jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) seedlings to determine impacts of container type on root characteristics that may be important for tree stability. Seedlings were grown for one season in Multipots®, Ventblocks®, Copperblocks®, Starpots® and Jiffy® pellets, and for a second season in sand culture in pots. After the first growing season, roots that had grown between Jiffy plugs were cut using a knife, either “early”, in September, or “late”, in November. Seedlings produced in non-pruning containers, Multipots and Ventblocks, had more vertical structural roots, less even root distribution and high shoot:root mass after a second season. Seedlings grown in pruning containers, Copperblocks, Starpots and Jiffy pellets, had more horizontal structural roots and more evenly distributed roots. Jiffy seedlings had high shoot:root mass after pruning, but ratios decreased to low levels similar to Starpots and Copperblocks after a second season in pots. Early pruning of Jiffy seedlings removed less root mass than late pruning, but total live root mass of early and late pruned seedlings was similar after the potting trial. Pruning containers thus produced structural root forms with more desirable characteristics for tree stability. These characteristics were evident after the first season and persisted after the second season in the potting trial.  相似文献

平邑甜茶根系形态构型对氯化镉处理的响应   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
以平邑甜茶幼苗为试材,在水培条件下研究氯化镉对根系形态构型及根系丙二醛(MDA)含量的影响。结果表明:处理第5天时,只有10～20mg.L-1的氯化镉使根系分形维数、主根长度、根系直径显著变小;处理第15天时,2.5～20mg.L-1氯化镉均使根系分形维数、侧根长度、根系表面积、根系体积以及根系直径显著降低,降低程度随着氯化镉浓度的升高而增大;侧根生长比主根生长更易受到氯化镉抑制。2.5～20mg.L-1氯化镉可显著提高粗根所占比例并进而改变根系组成,随着氯化镉浓度的提高根系组成改变更明显。在2.5～20mg.L-1范围内,根系MDA含量随着氯化镉浓度的提高而显著增加;同样氯化镉浓度下,MDA变化幅度大于根系形态构型的变化幅度。氯化镉导致的细胞损伤是其改变根系组成和形态构型的重要原因。  相似文献

Stem cuttings of Eucalyptus globulus are used within tree improvement programs and for mass deployment. To be successful, cuttings must perform as well or better than seedlings. The root systems of cuttings are fundamentally different from those of seedlings. If these differences influence growth, the differences and their consequences must be identified and the propagation system manipulated to improve performance of the propagules.Cuttings are only a viable alternative to seedlings as planting stock if the method of propagation does not affect their growth and development adversely. Full-sibling cuttings and seedlings of Eucalyptus globulus were compared under controlled environmental conditions to minimise extraneous sources of variation, and to establish whether changes in growth or development were induced by propagation. On three occasions over a period of eight weeks root-collar diameter, shoot height, leaf and stem weight, shoot/root ratios and root system morphology were measured on cuttings and seedlings. Seedlings were taller than cuttings throughout the experiment, but both plant types had similar height growth rates. Diameter growth rates were lower in cuttings than seedlings, and there were differences in both height and diameter growth rates between families. Root system configuration differed between the plant types. Seedlings had strongly gravitropic tap-roots, with two types of primary roots from which secondary roots emerged. Cuttings had no tap roots, and the main structural components of their root systems were adventitious roots formed during propagation. Cuttings did not develop further structural roots during the experiment, whereas seedlings continued to develop primary roots. Individual primary roots of cuttings were longer and had larger mid-point diameters than those of seedlings, but the total length of primary roots was greater in seedlings. Seedlings also had a greater number and total length of secondary roots. Shoot/root ratios, calculated from a range of functional measures, were higher in cuttings than seedlings.  相似文献

Magnesium (Mg) nutrition and photosynthesis were studied in clones of Pinus radiata D. Don grown in sand culture for 21 weeks at four Mg concentrations (0.008, 0.04, 0.2 and 0.4 mM) and three potassium (K) concentrations (0.25, 0.5 and 2.5 mM). We found significant clonal variation in Mg nutrition of P. radiata. Plants grown at 0.04 mM [Mg] or less showed pronounced visible symptoms of foliar Mg deficiency. Net photosynthetic rate and leaf conductance were closely related to shoot Mg concentrations below a concentration of 0.6 mg Mg g(DW) (-1). Potassium enhanced the development of visible symptoms of foliar Mg deficiency. At the lowest Mg concentration tested (0.008 mM), the severity of needle chlorosis and necrosis increased with increasing K concentration in the culture solution. With increasing Mg concentration, 2.5 mM [K] in the culture solution markedly increased root Mg concentration, but decreased shoot Mg concentration, suggesting that excessive K inhibited Mg mobilization from roots to shoots. Rates of growth and photosynthesis were both severely inhibited at 0.008 mM [Mg].  相似文献

The objective of this study was to determine if seedbed substrates consisting of F and H organic matter and Ae and Bf mineral material inhibited seed germination and subsequent seedling growth of black spruce. The study was conducted with seedbed substrates collected from eight pure blackspruce stands of four age classes (15, 30, 45 and 60 years) in central Newfoundland.No significant effect on percentage germination or primary shoot growth of seedlings was obtained when grown on F and H organic matter, Ae and Bf mineral material. However, growth and development of primary roots was significantly reduced in the F and H organic matter and Ae mineral material compared to the controls (washed sand). The inhibitory effect increased with stand age. The affected seedlings did not produce normal primary roots with root hairs. The primary root cells of the affected seedlings were significantly broader and shorter compared to the control seedlings. Mineral material from the Bf horizon did not have any significant effect on primary root growth of black spruce seedlings.  相似文献

We compared root system morphogenesis of micropropogated transplants of Prunus cerasifera L. inoculated with either of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi Glomus mosseae or Glomus intraradices or with the ericoid mycorrhizal species Hymenoscyphus ericae. All plants were grown in sand culture, irrigated with a nutrient solution that included a soluble source of phosphorus, for 75 days after transplanting. Arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization increased both the survival and growth (by over 100%) of transplants compared with either uninoculated controls or transplants inoculated with H. ericae. Arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization increased root, stem and leaf weights, leaf area, root length and specific leaf area, and it decreased root length/leaf area ratio, root/shoot weight ratio and specific root length. Both uptake of phosphorus and its concentration in leaves were increased by AM infection, although the time course of the relationships between intensity of AM infection and P nutrition were complex and suggested a role for factors other than nutrition. The time course for the development of infection varied. It was most rapid with G. mosseae, but it was ultimately higher with G. intraradices. None of the treatments significantly affected the lengths of adventitious roots or the first-, second- or third-order laterals that developed from them. Arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization increased the intensity of branching in all root orders with the effect being most obvious on first-order lateral roots where the number of branches increased from under 100 to over 300 brances m(-1). As a result, although first-order laterals made up 55% of the root systems of control plants, the comparable value was 36% in AM-infected plants. In contrast, second-order laterals represented 25% of control root systems, but 50% of AM-colonized root systems. Glomus intraradices but not G. mosseae increased root diameter. Anatomical studies revealed no changes in the overall form of the root tip, although there were changes in the diameter of the root cap, cell numbers and cell size. Hymenoscyphus ericae increased the duration of the metaphase index. Both AM fungal treatments increased the concentrations of soluble proteins in root extracts and modified the protein profiles by the elimination and addition of protein bands detected by PAGE analysis. We conclude that AM fungal inoculation influenced processes in the root system at different levels, but not all effects were due to improved P nutrition or increased physiological age.  相似文献

We studied the effects of ectomycorrhizal colonization by Laccaria bicolor (Maire) Orton S238 and Paxillus involutus (Batsch) Fr. 533 on cadmium (Cd) toxicity in Norway spruce seedlings (Picea abies (L.) Karst.). Both mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal seedlings were exposed to 0 (control), 0.5 or 5 &mgr;M CdSO(4) for 9 weeks in a sand culture system with frequent addition of nutrient solutions. In pure culture, P. involutus and L. bicolor showed similar Cd tolerance. However, in symbiosis, the Cd treatments decreased colonization by L. bicolor but not by P. involutus. Paxillus involutus ameliorated the negative effects of 0.5 &mgr;M Cd on shoot and root growth and chlorophyll content of old needles, whereas L. bicolor did not. Mycorrhizal colonization did not affect Cd concentrations of old needles and roots of seedlings. Despite differences between the ectomycorrhizal fungi in colonization and ability to alleviate Cd toxicity of seedlings, both species reduced Cd concentrations of young needles to a similar degree compared with nonmycorrhizal seedlings. However, in the 0.5 &mgr;M Cd treatment, the Cd content of needles of seedlings colonized by P. involutus was increased, whereas the Cd content of needles of seedlings colonized by L. bicolor was similar to that of needles of nonmycorrhizal seedings. When the amount of Cd translocated to needles was expressed on a root length basis to account for differences in the size of the root systems, the amount of Cd translocated to the needles was similar in seedlings mycorrhizal with P. involutus and in nonmycorrhizal seedlings. All mycorrhizal seedlings were similarly affected by 5 &mgr;M Cd, indicating that the amelioration efficiency of ectomycorrhizal fungi is dependent on the metal concentration to which the roots are exposed. Concentrations of P, K, Ca, Mg and Mn were decreased by 5 &mgr;M Cd to a similar extent in both nonmycorrhizal and mycorrhizal seedlings. In contrast to L. bicolor, P. involutus increased P uptake and altered patterns of root branching. We conclude that mycorrhizas alleviate Cd-induced reductions in growth of Picea abies seedlings. Although the two mycorrhizal fungi examined differed in their ability to alleviate Cd toxicity, these differences were not related to differences in Cd uptake or translocation to the shoot of the mycorrhizal seedlings. We suggest that amelioration of Cd toxicity by P. involutus may be a result of improved P nutrition or changes in root morphology, or both.  相似文献

Effects of Al on growth, nutrient uptake and proton efflux were studied in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) seedlings grown for about nine months in culture solutions with a pH between 3.4 and 3.6 and with both calcium and magnesium (Ca + Mg) at a concentration of 0.1, 0.5 or 2.5 mM. In the absence of Al, plant dry matter production and root development increased with increasing concentrations of (Ca + Mg) in the culture solution. At the low and intermediate (Ca + Mg) concentrations, optimal root and shoot development were observed at an Al concentration of 4 mg l(-1). At the highest (Ca + Mg) concentration, Al up to 4 mg l(-1) did not affect growth, but at higher concentrations, it significantly reduced both shoot and root growth. As the concentration of (Ca + Mg) in the nutrient solution increased, the concentrations of Ca and Mg increased in shoots and roots also. The concentrations of Ca and Mg in the roots were unaffected by the presence of Al, whereas in the shoots they were either unaffected, or increased, by Al. Concentrations of Al in, or on, roots, or in shoots, did not change in response to changing concentrations of Ca + Mg in the nutrient medium. In general, concentrations of P and K in shoots and roots were higher in seedlings grown in nutrient solutions containing Al. Stimulation of growth by moderate concentrations of Al, which was observed at suboptimal (Ca + Mg) concentrations, was associated with a low NH(4) preference and a low root proton efflux. The Al-induced increase in internal K concentration and reduction in NH(4) preference may be explained by a lower efflux of K and NO(3), respectively.  相似文献

Effects of sodium naphthenates (NAs) on root hydraulic conductivity (Lp) and gas exchange processes were examined in aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) seedlings grown in solution culture. Exposure of roots to NAs for 3-5 weeks significantly decreased Lp and stomatal conductance. Root-absorbed NAs also decreased leaf chlorophyll concentration, net photosynthesis and leaf growth. Short-term (< or = 2 h) exposure of excised roots to NAs significantly decreased root water flow (Qv) with a concomitant decline in root respiration. We conclude that NAs metabolically inhibited Lp, likely by affecting water channel activity, and that this inhibition could be responsible for the observed reductions in gas exchange and leaf growth.  相似文献

Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) and Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis(Bong.) Carr.) were grown in sand culture in glasshouses withtwo levels of N supplied with irrigation 1.0 (deficient) and6.0 (sufficient) molNm–3, all as NH4NO3. Providing trees with a sufficient N supply increased both theirabove ground growth and N content compared with the N deficientplants. Provision of the generous N supply also altered thedistribution of growth between leaves and roots, with the N-deficientplants having a higher root:leaf or root:needle ratio than thewell fertilized trees. Provision of a generous N supply stimulatedroot growth, especially at the later harvests, which was reflectedmainly in growth of the tap root in sycamore. There was an increasein both root mass and root diameter with N supply. When thegrowth of white roots was monitored using a borescope, it wasshown that there were significantly more new roots producedby the well-fertilized trees. The borescope data also showeddetail of the bimodal seasonal pattern of root growth underhigh N in Sitka spruce which related to trends in nitrogen uptake.  相似文献

Restricted gas exchange between the rhizosphere and aerial environment reduces the concentration of oxygen (O(2)) and elevates the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO(2)) in the root zone, thereby leading to increased resistance to root water uptake. In this study, the effects of hypoxia and 20% CO(2) on water flux (J(v)) through roots of hybrid poplar (Populus trichocarpa Torr. & A. Gray x P. deltoides Bartr. ex Marsh) were measured in detached root systems under pressure in solution culture. Because stomata closed and there was no change in foliar water potential in hypoxic plants, root resistance was measured in detached systems as opposed to using whole plant measurements. However, under aerated conditions root resistance values were similar in intact plants and excised roots. Water fluxes through pressurized root systems treated with nitrogen and low oxygen (< 2% O(2)), elevated CO(2) (20% CO(2)), and low O(2) with elevated CO(2) concentrations were reduced to 40, 51 and 58%, respectively, of J(v) of plants aerated with ambient air. Reductions in J(v) occurred more rapidly in response to elevated CO(2) than to low O(2) concentrations. The effects of low O(2) and elevated CO(2) were not additive. Changes in pH that resulted from elevated CO(2) concentrations did not account for the reduction in J(v). When root systems of intact plants were pretreated for 24 or 48 h with low O(2) concentration, J(v) measured on pressurization was reduced by 33 and 48%, respectively, compared to aerated roots. Stomatal conductance was also reduced, however, so leaf water potential of plants with hypoxic roots were similar to those of aerated controls.  相似文献

Hydroponically cultivated Pinus pinaster Ait. seedlings of a drought-sensitive population from France (Landes) and of a more drought-adapted population from Morocco (Tamjoute) were subjected to a progressive increase in water stress by additions of an osmoticum (polyethylene glycol 600) to the nutrient solution. The final osmotic potential (Psi(ms)) of the nutrient solution was achieved over a period of up to 6 days, and ranged from -0.03 (control, no added osmoticum) to -0.8 MPa. In the 6 days during which water stress was imposed, roots elongated faster in the Moroccan provenance than in the French provenance, but the applied water deficits did not inhibit root elongation in either population. Among treatments, root dry weight per unit root length, total root dry weight and root/shoot dry weight ratio increased with decreasing Psi(ms) in both provenances. Both the water potential (Psi(w)) of the roots (apices) and the water potential difference between the roots and the nutrient solution decreased as Psi(ms) decreased. The reduction in Psi(w) was matched by a decrease of comparable magnitude in cell osmotic potential (Psi(pi)) so that root turgor was unaffected by the Psi(ms). Osmotic adjustment was greater, however, in the Moroccan provenance than in the French provenance. Consequently, under the osmotically imposed water stress, the water potential difference between root and nutrient solution was greater in the Moroccan provenance than in the French provenance. Similar changes in plant water relations were observed when seedlings were grown in drying sand.  相似文献

Maximization of short-rotation forest plantation yield requires frequent applications of nutrients, especially nitrogen (N). Whole-plant growth is known to be sensitive to the proportion of ammonium to nitrate (NH4:NO3). However, the extent to which N form affects root growth, branching and morphology is poorly understood, and these variables may have substantial impacts on plant nutrient and water acquisition. We used rooted cuttings of cottonwood (Populus deltoides Bartr. ex Marsh.) to investigate the effect of various NH4:NO3 ratios on root growth in N-enriched patches. A sand culture study with split-root systems was carried out in which 1-3% of the total root system of each cutting was supplied with 2 mM N at NH4:NO3 ratios of 0:100, 20:80, 40:60, 60:40, 80:20 and 100:0 (molar basis), with the rest of the plant supplied with 0 mM N, resulting in the whole plant becoming N deficient. During the experiment, whole-plant growth was unaffected by the treatments. Of the NH4:NO3 ratios tested, greatest total root length, specific root length, and root N concentration of roots in enriched patches occurred in the 20:80 NH4:NO3 treatment. The largest response of roots in enriched patches was third- and fourth-order root production. We conclude that N form has a profound effect on root development and morphology in enriched patches.  相似文献

We assessed the effects of Cu on root growth and morphology of stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) and maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) seedlings grown in culture solutions supplied with 0.012 (control), 0.1, 1 or 5 micro M CuSO(4). The presence of 5 micro M Cu in the nutrient solution completely inhibited root growth of both species within 3 days. In both species, taproot elongation was reduced in the presence of 1 micro M Cu, although partial growth recovery occurred after 7 days of treatment. The presence of 0.1 micro M Cu in the culture solution slightly enhanced root elongation in P. pinaster, but did not significantly influence root elongation in P. pinea. In both species, root weight per unit length increased in response to Cu exposure, and in P. pinaster, root diameter was significantly increased. The Cu treatments also affected lateral root number and length. In the presence of 1 micro M Cu, both species formed only short lateral primordia. The 1 micro M Cu treatment increased the lateral root index (number of roots per cm of root length) of P. pinaster, but decreased that of P. pinea, compared with control values. Neither the 0.1 nor 1 micro M Cu treatment had a significant effect on the mitotic index of either species. We conclude that cell elongation is more sensitive to Cu than cell division. Cell membrane damage, as indicated by Trypan blue staining, occurred after 10 days of exposure to 1 micro M Cu.  相似文献

The variation in shoot and root seedling growth traits was compared among three Faidherbia albida(Del).A. Chev. provenances originating from Kenya(Taveta),Malawi(Bolero) and Ghana(Bolgatanga); representing east, south and west Africa, respectively. Bulked seeds from three provenances were grown in two soil types(clay and sand) at the World Agroforestry Centre nursery,Nairobi. Seedlings grown in clay soil had high shoot growth and shoot to root ratios but shorter root length,lower number of nodules and specific root length compared to seedlings in sand soil. Shoot to root ratios reduced with time and this was more pronounced in sand soil. Overall,the Bolero and Taveta provenances had higher growth than the Bolgatanga provenance. This was probably because plants grown in nutrient-rich clay soil invest more in shoot growth as compared to root growth. Longer root growth in sand soil shows a better adaptive mechanism that increases competitive ability and survival in nutrient-poor systems.Variations observed among the seedling variables such us shoot and root growth could be used for early selection for reforestation and agroforestry in predominantly clay and sand soil areas.  相似文献

Seasonal changes in starch were studied at the tissue and cellular levels in roots and stems of Salix viminalis L. cuttings. Cuttings were planted in pots containing sand and grown in a controlled environment chamber in which seasons were artificially induced by changes in temperature and photoperiod. Nitrogen was supplied at optimum and low rates, and during dormancy, one-half of the plants were decapitated. Starch concentrations in root and stem tissues were determined regularly during shoot extension growth, dormancy and resprouting after dormancy. We used light microscopy (LM) combined with image analysis (IA) to determine the cellular localization and amount of starch in different cell types of stem and root tissues. Chemical analysis confirmed that starch concentrations were lower in plants receiving a high-N supply rate than in plants receiving a low-N supply rate. In all plants, the highest concentration of starch was in the roots. Light microscopy and IA showed that starch accumulated mainly in the phloem and cortical cells of both root and stem tissues. Starch grains were also regularly found in ray parenchyma cells. The amount of starch as well as the size of the grains showed strong seasonal fluctuations. In both roots and stems, starch concentrations were highest during predormancy and lowest during periods of shoot extension growth. At the time of resprouting, root cells of decapitated plants were more depleted of starch than root cells of intact plants, supporting the hypothesis that starch reserves in roots are important during the early phase of resprouting in coppice systems.  相似文献

Post-storage water relations, stomatal conductance, and root growth potential were examined in ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws.) seedlings from high- and low-elevation seed sources that had been lifted either in October or November and freezer stored, or in March, and then grown hydroponically in a greenhouse for 31 days. Seedlings lifted in October had poor root initiation (< 17 new roots per seedling), low predawn leaf water potentials (< -1.5 MPa), and low stomatal conductance (7.10 mmol m(-2) s(-1)) compared with seedlings lifted in November or March. There was little difference in post-storage water relations and stomatal conductance between seedlings lifted in November and those lifted in March. Throughout the 31-day test, seedlings from the high-elevation seed source produced 3-9 times more new roots, had higher predawn leaf water potentials (-0.6 to -0.7 MPa versus -1.1 to -1.6 MPa), and 1.3-5 times greater stomatal conductance than seedlings from the low-elevation seed source. For all seedlings on Day 31, the number of new roots was significantly related to predawn leaf water potential (r(2) = 0.65) and stomatal conductance (r(2) = 0.82). Similarly, the dry weight of new roots per seedling on Day 31 accounted for a significant amount of the variation in predawn leaf water potential (r(2) = 0.81) and stomatal conductance (r(2) = 0.49).  相似文献

Three-year-old clonal cuttings of Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr. were grown for two years (1988-1989) in sand irrigated with a nutrient solution containing either 1.0 mol N m(-3) (low N) or 6.0 mol N m(-3) (high N) NH(4)NO(3). In 1988, all the N provided was enriched with (15)N to 4.95 atom % (labeled N). In 1989, N was supplied with (15)N at natural abundance (unlabeled N). The recovery of unlabeled and labeled N in new foliage was used to quantify the internal cycling of N. In the high-N treatment, trees had two flushes of shoot growth and a period of rapid root growth, which coincided with the second flush of shoot growth in August. The timing of root growth and the first flush of shoot growth was similar in the low-N treatment, but there was no second flush of shoot growth and a greater proportion of biomass was recovered in roots. By November 1989, the root/needle dry matter ratio was 1.95 for the low-N trees and 1.36 for the high-N trees. Nitrogen was stored overwinter in roots and current-year needles. During the first six weeks of growth in the spring of 1989, stored N was remobilized for new foliage growth. Subsequent growth depended on root uptake of N. Remobilization of stored N was apparently not affected by the current N supply, because the amount of unlabeled N recovered in foliage produced in 1988 was the same for both N treatments. During 1989, the proportion of (15)N remobilized from roots relative to that from leaves produced in 1988 was greater in low-N trees than in high-N trees. In the autumn of both years, there was rapid uptake of N into roots and current-year needles. The effects of N supply on tree growth and nitrogen use efficiency are discussed in terms of the capacity for both N storage and internal cycling.  相似文献
