Forage Chicory: A Plant Resource for Nutrient-Rich Sites   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
Grazing livestock create localized nutrient patches that increase soil ionic strength (IS) and influence plant productivity. The ability of plant root systems to control ion absorption and flux to xylem, and to sequester ions reaching leaf tissue in bound, nontoxic forms are means of minimizing IS. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to determine the growth and mineral acquisition responses of forage chicory (Cichorium intybus L. cv. Grasslands Puna) to increasing (0.9, 4, 8, and 12 dS m?1) IS in the rhizosphere obtained by additions of NaCl/CaCl2 (1 : 1 m ratio). Plants were harvested four times after planting (20, 27, 34 and 41 d) to identify responses as a function of time. Increased accumulation and localization of Na in roots in comparison to shoots suggested that chicory restricted Na transport to shoots, and that insoluble Na in tissues increased with increasing IS. Soluble cations in shoots were about 50 % of total cations, irrespective of rhizosphere IS and Na uptake. Differences in the cation:anion ratio could not be accounted for by organic acid concentrations in chicory, but substantial accumulation of nonstructural carbohydrates as fructans in roots could contribute to charge balance. Our results demonstrate that forage chicory has moderate tolerance to IS, suggesting that it might be a useful species for sites with potential for IS. Chicory growth would probably be sustained under IS conditions, and the resultant vigorous growth and accumulation of mineral nutrients in shoots would contribute to acceptable nutritive value for grazing livestock. Plants capable of growing in and acquiring nutrients from nutrient‐laden patches in the sward would help minimize erosion and nutrient transport, with positive benefits for water and soil quality.  相似文献

Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) has a large taproot to store and release starch, carbohydrates and nutrients during the plant's growth. Recommended management of the lucerne crop aims to keep the taproot stable subject to the demands for feed provision and stand longevity. Field experiments were conducted in Victoria, Australia, to examine the effects of recovery period on taproot mass and nutritive status. Both experiments used established SARDI Seven lucerne crops and were either cut every 21 days (short recovery SR) or every 42 days (long recovery LR). At each defoliation, taproots were extracted for determination of DM yield and starch, water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) and nitrogen (N) concentration and DM yield. At both sites, WSC and N DM yields along with total taproot DM yield did not change greatly as the experiment progressed. Starch was responsive to herbage accumulation with both concentration and DM yield, increasing when herbage accumulation rates were high and decreasing when herbage accumulation rates were low. At both sites, LR taproots had starch levels equal to or higher than those of SR taproots. We conclude that short intervals between defoliations disrupt the energy cycling between shoots and roots. This is likely to reduce lucerne productivity, particularly during periods of rapid growth.  相似文献

Grain yield in wheat is dependent on photosynthate production and allocation. Light intensity is one of the main factors affecting photosynthate production and allocation, and grain yield. This study was conducted to determine whether cultivars varying in grain number per spike and grain weight respond differently to pre‐anthesis shading (PRE) and post‐anthesis shading (POST), and to characterize the responses in production and allocation of photosynthate, yield and yield components, and spike traits. Both PRE and POST caused a decrease in both dry matter (DM) accumulation and allocation to grain. Cultivar Lumai 22, which has a large spike and large grains, was more sensitive to either PRE or POST. PRE reduced photosynthate production and partitioning to the spike in Lumai 22 at anthesis. In contrast, PRE had little influence on these parameters in the small‐spike, small‐grain cultivar Yannong 15. POST reduced the partitioning to the grain, especially in Lumai 22, for which marked reductions in biomass and grain yield were found for both the PRE and POST treatments. Changes in yield components attributable to shading varied with cultivars. The number of spikes m?2 was not affected by either PRE or POST. Lumai 22 was more seriously affected by shading than Yannong 15 in terms of grain number per spike and weight per grain. The decreases in grain number or weight per spikelet in both the PRE and POST treatments took place mainly in the upper and basal spikelets, especially in Lumai 22. We concluded that the adaptability of the small‐spike, small‐grain cultivar Yannong 15 to either PRE or POST was much greater than that of the large‐spike, large‐grain cultivar Lumai 22 in terms of many characteristics closely related to grain yield. Hence, we suggest that, in areas where low light intensity often occurs, the small‐spike, small‐grain cultivar would be more likely to produce high, stable grain yields.  相似文献

Activities of enzymes nitrate reductase (NR) and nitrite reductase (NiR) were determined in rice seedlings differing in salt tolerance raised under increasing levels of NaCl salinity. Salinity caused marked increase in in vivo NR activity in roots and shoots of salt tolerant cvs. CSR-1 and CSR-3 whereas in salt sensitive cvs. Ratna and Jaya a marked inhibition in in vivo NR activity was observed under salimzation. Under both controls as well as salt treatments in all cultivars roots always maintained higher level of in vivo NR activity than shoots. In vitro NR activity increased in both roots and shoots of all cultivars during early days of growth with maximum at 10–15 days and decreased thereafter. In salt tolerant cultivars salinity caused an increase in in vitro NR activity in shoots but not in roots whereas in salt sensitives activity of the enzyme was always more in salt stressed seedlings compared to controls. Salinity increased NiR activity in seedlings of sensitive cultivars whereas in tolerants suppression in root NiR activity was observed due to salinity. Like NR the activity of NiR was also higher in roots than shoots. 1 M NaCl in the enzyme assay medium suppressed in vivo NR activity in roots of 15 days old nonsalinized seedlings with more suppression in sensitive cultivars than tolerants. Results suggest possible different behaviours of nitrogen assimilatory enzymes in rice cultivars differing in salt tolerance and that salt tolerance ability is associated with high in vivo NR activity in seedlings and its further activation under salinization.  相似文献

In a 3-year field experiment conducted on a Gleyic Luvisol in Stuttgart-Hohenheim, ten maize cultivars (nine commercial and one experimental hybrid) were compared in their ability to utilize a high soil nitrogen (N) supply. Total N content of the shoots at about silage maturity ranged from 213 to 328 kg N ha−1 (1986), from 177 to 223 kg N ha−1 (1987) and from 185 to 226 kg N ha−1 (1988). In all three experimental years, total shoot N uptake was significantly positively correlated to stover yield, and also to N concentrations in the ears and in the total plant dry matter. In contrast, a negative correlation between ear yields of the cultivars and total N uptake was indicated. Differences between the cultivars in N uptake were reflected in a corresponding soil nitrate depletion. At harvest, residual nitrate-N in the 0–90 cm soil layer ranged from 34–63 kg N ha−1 m 1987 and 32–71 kg N ha−1 in 1988. The results indicate, that growing of cultivars selected for high N uptake-capactiy of the shoots may contribute to an increased utilization of a high soil N supply and thus to a reduction of nitrate leaching.  相似文献

氮肥后移对不同氮效率水稻花后碳氮代谢的影响   总被引：9，自引：0，他引：9  
以氮高效品种(德香4103)和氮低效品种(宜香3724)为材料,利用~(13)C和~(15)N双同位素示踪技术和生理生化分析方法,采用盆栽及大田试验,在施氮量180 kg hm~(–2)条件下,设置3种氮肥运筹方式,基肥∶蘖肥∶穗肥比例分别为5∶3∶2(N_1)、3∶3∶4(N_2)、3∶1∶6(N_3),以及不施氮(N_0)处理;研究其对不同氮效率水稻花后氮碳代谢的影响,并探讨氮肥后移下花后光合同化物及氮素累积、转运、分配的共性响应机制及其与产量的关系。结果表明,品种、氮肥运筹对花后氮素利用特征、光合同化物分配、生理特性及产量均存在显著影响。氮高效品种与氮肥后移量占总施氮量的40%、氮素穗肥运筹以倒四、倒二叶龄期等量追施相配套(N_2处理),能促进花后氮素累积,提高剑叶光合速率和1,5-二磷酸核酮糖羧化酶、谷氨酰胺合成酶等碳氮代谢关键酶活性,促进叶片、茎鞘、根系、穗各营养器官光合同化物及氮素累积与转运,进而提高产量及氮肥利用率,为本试验氮高效品种配套的氮肥运筹优化模式。花后不同氮肥运筹下,氮高效品种光合同化物、氮素的累积与转运,分别较氮低效品种高7.78~12.75 mg ~(13)C株~(–1)、15.14~18.78mg ~(15)N株~(–1);且叶片转运量分别较氮低效品种高1.70~2.93 mg ~(13)C株~(–1)、2.21~4.55 mg ~(15)N株~(–1),茎鞘转运量分别较氮低效品种高1.70~2.93 mg ~(13)C株~(–1)、0.05~1.14 mg ~(15)N株~(–1);而穗部氮高效与氮低效品种~(13)C同化物分别增加31.04~44.68 mg ~(13)C株~(–1)(占~(13)C总量的42.04%~46.38%)、24.94~34.26 mg ~(13)C株~(–1)(占~(13)C总量的36.45%~41.36%),~(15)N则分别增加35.56~46.58 mg ~(15)N株~(–1)(占~(15)N总量的61.82%~82.93%)、27.37~31.57 mg ~(15)N株~(–1)(占~(15)N总量的58.04%~68.31%)。氮高效品种花后具有强光合碳同化、氮素的协同吸收转运特征,以及碳氮代谢能力,来满足籽粒灌浆期对光合同化物及氮素的利用,是氮高效品种相对于氮低效品种高产、氮高效利用的重要原因。此外,从花后不同器官碳氮比(C/N)变化值综合两品种高产及氮肥高效利用来看,N_2处理下,齐穗至成熟期叶片、穗部C/N提高幅度与该时期茎鞘、根系C/N降低幅度一致,据此可将C/N作为水稻高产及氮肥高效利用同步提高的评价指标,这具有重要的参考价值。  相似文献

The phylogenetic relationship between different Cichorium intybus cultivars and cultivar groups was studied. A total of 127 random amplified polymorphic DNA markers have been used to distinguish between 51 Cichorium intybus cultivars belonging to three different cultivar groups. A principal component analysis was performed on the complete data set and a clear grouping of chicory cultivar groups was observed. The three chicory groups tested (root chicory, witloof and pain de sucre) were separated from one another in the principal component plots. The first two axes accounted for 43.9% of the total variation. Although the chicory used in traditional forcing in soil and the red chicory cultivars were related more to each other and to the chicory cultivars from the witloof group, they still formed separate groups in the principal component plot.  相似文献

Monoliths of a fertile, although N limited, C3 grassland community were subjected (or not) to an atmospheric CO2 enrichment (600 μmol mol−1), owing to the Mini-FACE system from August 1998 to June 2001, at two contrasting cutting frequencies (3 and 6 cuts per year). The present study reports the effects of elevated CO2 on the above-ground productivity and on the herbage quality. Elevated CO2 did not affect the dry matter (DM) yield of the swards in 1999. In 2000, the second year, there was a positive CO2 effect (+26%) both on the DM and on the nitrogen yields (+30%). With the frequently cut monoliths, the DM of the legume component of the sward was strongly increased by elevated CO2. This effect became also significant in July 2000 for the low cutting frequency treatment. These results are in good agreement with the concept of an increased legume development and symbiotic N2 fixation triggered by an increased ecosystem scale demand of N under elevated CO2. At a low cutting frequency, the DM of the forbs was strongly increased in elevated compared with ambient CO2. This increased development of the forbs apparently led to a competitive decline of the grasses. Therefore, the total DM yield response to CO2 was smaller at a low (+15%) compared with a high (+36%) cutting frequency in 2000. An increase in the water soluble sugar content of the bulk forage under elevated CO2 and a corresponding decline in cell wall contents (NDF) were observed. In June 1999, the decline in NDF was correlated with an increased in-vitro DM digestibility. The forage quality was also indirectly affected by elevated CO2 through changes in leaf:stem ratio and in botanical composition. At a low cutting frequency, the increased forb content favoured the herbage quality because of a higher digestibility of the forb shoots and, indirectly, through the reduction in the mass of the grass stems. These results emphasise the role of species dynamics for elevated CO2 impacts on semi-natural grassland productivity and herbage quality.  相似文献

×Festulolium ssp. are of particular interest as autumn‐saved herbage in the winter grazing system, but information concerning their performance in this low‐input system is not available. To this end, we examined dry matter (DM) yield and forage quality in winter of four different cultivars of ×Festulolium ssp. (×Festulolium pabulare, Festulolium braunii), either with festucoid or loloid attributes, compared with Festuca arundinacea Schreb. Furthermore, pre‐utilization (accumulation since June or July) and date of winter harvest (December or January) were varied examining the influence of different sward management. DM yield, crude protein, metabolizable energy (ME) (in vitro rumen fermentation technique), acid detergent fibre (ADF) and ergosterol concentration were determined. Within all years, the festucoid cultivars (mean 3.4 t ha?1) attained significant higher yields during winter than the loloid cultivars (mean 1.6 t ha?1), but their yields were comparable with F. arundinacea (mean 3.0 t ha?1). Crude protein was decisively influenced by the different yield levels of the cultivars resulting in higher values for the loloid cultivars. Energy concentrations decreased with later winter harvest, whereas ADF as well as ergosterol concentrations frequently increased from December to January. The greatest differences between festucoid and loloid cultivars were generally observed during severe winters. Obviously, the festucoid cultivars were better adapted to a utilization as autumn‐saved herbage than the cultivars with rather loloid attributes. However, the hybrids did not surpass F. arundinacea regarding yield and quality.  相似文献

This study examined the rate of herbage production and herbage quality of bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flügge) using data from five grazing trials in the low‐altitude region of Kyushu, south‐western Japan, in an effort to (a) evaluate productivity of bahiagrass pastures, (b) analyse its relationship to meteorological, vegetational and managerial variables, and (c) obtain implications for better management of bahiagrass pastures. The rate of herbage production, ranging from ?56 to 213 kg DM ha?1 day?1, tended to increase from spring (April–May) to mid‐summer (July) and decrease thereafter. The rate was expressed by a multiple regression equation where nitrogen fertilizer rate, air temperature, rainfall and herbage mass had positive effects. Dry matter digestibility (DMD) and crude protein (CP) concentration of herbage were in the range of 471–727 and 84–161 g kg?1 DM respectively. DMD was expressed by a regression equation where the day number from 1 April and herbage mass had negative effects, and the sampling height and nitrogen rate had positive effects. CP concentration was expressed by an equation showing a positive effect of nitrogen rate and a negative effect of herbage mass. The results indicate that management of bahiagrass pastures should aim at maintaining herbage mass closely above the critical level below which intake by grazing animals is restricted, in order to increase quality and ensure quantity. This is particularly important when nitrogen fertilizer is applied.  相似文献

In potato, dry matter (DM) production and partitioning between plant organs and N accumulation are affected by N application; however, since cultivars differ in these processes, N fertilization must be adjusted to each cultivar. This paper studies the response of potato cultivars differing in maturity to N fertilization in the south-east of the Buenos Aires Province (37°45'S, 58°18'W) in two growing seasons. Treatments combined four N doses (0–180 kg ha−1) and four cultivars: Jaerla (early), Spunta (mid-early), Mailén INTA (medium late) and Huinkul MAG (late). DM and N content were measured in leaves, stems and tubers throughout the growing season and intercepted photosynthetically active radiation was regularly assessed. There was an increase in tuber yield up to intermediate N doses (60 kg ha−1 in 1990 and 120 kg ha−1 in 1991). Tuber yield was similar for Spunta and Huinkul MAG. There was no interaction between cultivar and N fertilization for tuber dry matter yield. DM partitioning to leaves and tubers during the growing season differed among cultivars, but N availability affected partitioning similarly for all cultivars. Jaerla had a high and Huinkul MAG had a low radiation use efficiency between plant emergence and the beginning of tuber formation. Jaerla, Spunta and Mailén INTA reached maximum N content in foliage at ≈60 days after emergence and Huinkul MAG 20 days later. Total N content at maturity varied between 120 and 250 kg ha−1 and was affected by cultivar and N dose. The results will help to improve N fertilization recommendations and management practices as related to each cultivar under the environmental conditions of this region.  相似文献

A field study was conducted on the winter wheat cultivars Arminda and Okapi , using two seed rates (80 and 160 kg/ha) and three N applications (40, 80 and 120 kg/ha).
The cultivars did not differ in total dry matter production but did differ in grain yield. The difference in grain yield was mainly attributable to a higher harvest index (HI).
Increased plant density reduced HI; it resulted in more shoots per m2, but in a lower grain yield. The reduction in grain yield was caused by fewer kernels per ear and a lower 1000-grain weight in both cultivars.
A higher rate of N increased total dry matter production and grain yield, except in Okapi at the high plant density. The number of kernels per ear increased, but 1000-grain weight fell.
The higher the N applications, the higher the N-content of the roots was.
Total N yield was greater in Arminda than in Okapi. The cultivars differed in the amount of nitrogen they took up after anthesis.
The content of water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) differed between the cultivars, N treatments and growth stages. Carbohydrate formed before anthesis accounted for 23 % of Arminda's grain yield and for 10 % of Okapi's grain yield.
The content of cell-wall constituents (CWC) depended on cultivar, growth stage and the rate of the N dressing. Differences in CWC were more pronounced in Arminda than in Okapi. During leaf, stem and ear development there was a strong increase in content and amount of CWC. Concomitantly, WSC decreased. This implies that a large consumption of WSC is necessary for the formation of CWC. The competition for the WSC, necessary for CWC and shoot and ear development influences kernel initiation. Per unit of dry matter Okapi contained more CWC than Arminda. This was not in agreement with differences in straw sturdiness.  相似文献

研究氮肥对非充分灌溉下棉花花铃期光合特性及产量的补偿作用及其机制, 以期为干旱地区棉花水肥高效利用提供理论依据。以“新陆中54号”为试材, 采用裂区试验设计, 主区为总灌溉量2800 m 3 hm -2(非充分灌溉)和3800 m 3 hm -2(常规灌溉), 副区为4个施氮(纯N)水平(0、150、300和450 kg hm -2)。同一氮肥处理下, 非充分灌溉处理棉花花铃期叶面积指数(LAI)、净光合速率(Pn)、蒸腾速率(Tr)、单株光合产物积累与分配、单株结铃数、单铃重及籽棉产量均低于常规灌溉处理, 但籽棉增产率和灌溉水生产力高于常规灌溉处理; 同一灌溉量下, 随着氮肥施用量的增加, 棉花花铃期LAI和单株光合产物积累量先增后降, 且表现为N450>N300>N150>N0, Tr、Pn、单株光合产物向生殖器官分配比例、单株结铃数、单铃重、籽棉产量、籽棉增产率及灌溉水生产力均表现为N300>N450>N150>N0; 非充分灌溉下增施氮肥的补偿效果随着氮肥用量的增加呈先增加后下降的趋势, N300处理补偿效果最显著, 与常规灌溉处理相比, 补偿效应主要表现在棉花花铃期Pn平均提高10.9%, 单株光合产物积累向生殖积累器官分配比例提高10.7%, 单株结铃数、单铃重、籽棉增产率及灌溉水生产力分别提高5.0%、8.0%、7.1%和7.5%; 氮肥对棉花花铃期光合特性及产量构成因素的影响大于水分。非充分灌溉下氮肥施用量为300 kg hm -2时补偿效应最大, 虽然在产量上有所下降, 但从干旱地区农业缺水的现实考虑, 可准确灌溉施肥, 且籽棉产量较常规灌溉处理仅下降1.3%。因此, 在南疆自然生态条件下, 非充分灌溉下施氮300 kg hm -2时棉花花铃期LAI、Tr、Pn及单株光合产物积累量适宜, 向生殖器官转运补偿效果显著, 具有最大的产量补偿作用, 且节水26.3%。  相似文献

以菊苣(Cichorium intybus L.)为试验材料,研究了铝胁迫对菊苣种子萌发特性的影响,结果表明:随铝离子浓度增加菊苣种子发芽率和发芽势均有所降低,降幅分别为2.05％～10.24％和3.43％～12.03％;在铝浓度大于50 mg/L的处理中,菊苣发芽势虽有下降,但处理间差异不显著;在铝胁迫下,菊苣种子根生长受严重抑制,且变粗、易断、颜色加深,铝浓度达到200 mg/L时,根停止生长;随着铝离子浓度的增加,种子根的耐受指数呈指数型下降趋势(y=239.26e-0.827x,R2=0.942 3),苗长与种子根长呈显著正相关关系(R=0.900 8,p＜0.05).由此可见,铝胁迫对菊苣种子萌发及幼苗生长抑制作用明显,即菊苣对环境中铝的耐受性较差,因此,在酸铝土壤地区应该通过育种途径筛选出耐铝品种.  相似文献

Water use by semi-leafless peas (Pisum sativum L.) is usually less than that of conventional peas because of their reduced surface leaf area, suggesting that semi-leafless peas would be less sensitive to drought because drought develops later. This work aimed to study the reproductive response of peas cv. Solara (semi-leafless) and cv. Frilene (conventional) subjected to similar controlled soil drought during the critical period occurring between flowering and initial seed filling. Plants were subjected to drought by watering with a fraction of water used in the evapotranspiration of control plants. Soil, pod and seed water contents, leaf water status parameters, dry matter (DM) partitioning, seed yield, yield components and water use efficiency (WUE) were measured. Although soil water content decreased in a similar way in both cultivars, leaf Ψw and RWC only decreased significantly in Solara. Well-watered Frilene plants produced higher shoot and pod DM, but lower seed DM. Well-watered Solara plants produced lower pod DM and higher seed DM than Frilene. Under drought, Frilene increased partitioning of total plant DM to vegetative organs, particularly roots, and decreased DM allocation to pods and seeds increasing flower abortion. By contrast, droughted Solara interrupted vegetative growth and increased leaf senescence but maintained similar partitioning of total plant DM to pods and seeds as in well-watered conditions. For both cultivars there was a close relationship between the percentage of total DM partitioned into seeds and WUEy (water use efficiency on seed yield basis). Results demonstrate that when plants suffered the same level of drought in the soil, the reproductive response of the two cultivars was linked to differences in their WUE.  相似文献

Animal manure and urine deposition can cause localized patches of high ionic strength (IS) soil in pastures, influencing plant production, nutritive value and sward composition. Chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) appears to thrive in high‐nutrient input situations, but no information is available on chicory response to increasing IS. In a greenhouse experiment, we evaluated the effect of rhizosphere ionic strength (0.9, 4.0, 8.0 and 12.0 dS m?1) on productivity and nutritive value of chicory. Dry matter production decreased linearly as IS increased. Shoot concentrations for Ca, Na and Cl increased as IS increased. All mineral concentrations, except Cu, were substantially higher than or equal to the highest concentrations reported for forages. At all IS, nitrate‐N and K exceeded maximum recommendation for ruminant diets. The sodium level could be high enough to reduce dry matter intake at the highest IS level. Crude protein and energy estimates indicate chicory would support production levels equivalent to those of other high‐quality forages. In vitro organic matter disappearance increased as IS increased. Chicory as a component of a forage mixture could help stabilize forage yield in pastures and also shows promise for use as a nutrient mop in feedlot areas, where excess soil nutrients are a problem.  相似文献

Changes in Polyamine Titer in Rice Seedlings Following NaCl Salinity Stress   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  
Seedlings of four rice cultivars differing in salt tolerance were raised in sand cultures under increasing levels of NaCl salinity and metabolic levels of total polyamines, spermidine, spermine, agmatine and the diamine putrescine were determined in roots and shoots during 5-20 days growth period. Salinity caused a remarkable increase in total polyamines level in rice seedlings. At similar level of salinity roots as well as shoots of salt sensitive cvs. Ratna and Jaya showed higher level of total polyamines than tolerants. Salinity of 14 dSm−1 NaCl caused more than 2 times polyamine level in shoots of sensitive cultivars compared to tolerants. Accumulation of polyamines was greater in salt stressed shoots than roots. In nonsalinized seedlings there appeared a gradual increase in putrescine level during 5 to 20 days growth period. Salt treatment caused sharp increase in putrescine level in all cultivars, however under similar level of salinization salt stressed seedlings of sensitive cultivars had higher putrescine level than tolerants. In nonsalinized seedlings of sensitive cultivars spermidine level increased gradually during 5 to 20 days growth period whereas a decline in the level was observed in seedlings of tolerant cultivars during this period. Higher level of salinity caused marked increase in spermidine level in sensitive cultivars. Specially during 5 to 10 days of growth salinity caused increase in spermine level in seedlings of sensitive cultivars. In all cultivars salt stressed seedlings had higher agmatine level compared to non-stressed. Salinity led to greater accumulation of certain unidentified polyamines in seedlings of sensitive cultivars. Increased levels of total polyamines, putrescine, spermidine and unknown polyamines in rice seedlings under salinization suggest their possible role in combating the adverse effects of salinity stress.  相似文献

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer management for production of bread quality wheat may increase nitrate residues in the soil. To assess soil nitrate levels associated with bread quality wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) production in Eastern Canada, an experiment was conducted for 2 years at each of two sites in Québec. Four cultivars (Columbus, Katepwa, Max and Hege 155-85), four N levels (0, 60, 120 and 180 kg N ha−1) and two N timings (all at seeding time or 60 % at seeding and 40 % at anthesis) were combined in a factorial arrangement on a Bearbrook clay and a Ste-Rosalie clay. Residual soil NO3-N levels were measured in the 0–20 and 20– 60 cm soil layers. The cultivars used have potential as bread wheats. Cultivar effects on soil nitrate levels existed only in the Ste-Rosalie soil, suggesting that the cultivars used were better adapted to the conditions on the Bearbrook soil. Changes in soil NC3N levels over winter indicated that mineralization had occurred. Calculated balance-sheet values were larger than measured residual NO3-N in the autumn of each year, indicating that NO3-N was lost from the systems, possibly due to denitrification. Potential increases in, and thus potential pollution from, residual soil NO-N existed only at the 180 kg N ha−1 level. Overwinter changes in soil NO3-N levels were proportional to the inverse of the fall NC3N levels. Differences between sites were large for many of the variables measured.  相似文献

Phenotypic and genetic evaluation of morphological traits associated with herbage biomass production was undertaken in a perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) biparental F1 mapping population (n = 200) with parent plants from cultivars ‘Grasslands Impact’ and ‘Grasslands Samson’. Morphological traits measured on three clonal replicates of the parental genotypes and 200 F1 progeny in a glasshouse in two separate trials (autumn and spring) included: dry weight (DW), leaf elongation rate (LER), initial tiller number (TNs), final tiller number (TNe), site filling (Fs), tiller weight (TW), leaf lamina length, leaf tip and ligule appearance rates (ALf, ALg) and leaf elongation duration (LED). Principal component analysis of patterns of trait association identified negative correlation between TNs or TNe, and TW as the primary basis for morphological difference and indicated that either high LER or long LED could reduce TN. Plants with higher LER tended to have increased DW. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) were detected on all seven linkage groups (LG) of a perennial ryegrass linkage map for all but three traits. A total of 61 QTL were identified, many of which clustered at 15 shared genome locations. Significant genotype by environment effects were encountered, evidenced both by variation between experiments in genotype rankings and by a general lack of commonality for QTL for the same traits in the different experiments. Only five QTL, for ALf, ALg and TN, were conserved between autumn and spring trials. A QTL for TN and DW on LG6 is a strong candidate for application of MAS in future plant improvement work and was found to be co-linear with QTL for equivalent traits reported on chromosome 2 in rice.  相似文献

2557 chicory roots from 13 cultivars were analysed individually for root weight, root shape, total fructose, total glucose, potassium and amino-N contents. Fructose yield is highly correlated with root weight and slightly with fructose content, both at the inter- and intra-varietal levels. The comparison of total-sample correlations to between- and within-variation correlations suggests an important genetic variation within varieties.  相似文献
