High zinc (Zn) concentration of seeds has beneficial effects both on seed vigor and human nutrition. This study investigated the effect of Zn biofortification on growth of young durum wheat (Triticum durum cv. Yelken) seedlings under varied Zn and water supply. The seeds differing in Zn concentrations were obtained by spraying ZnSO4 to durum wheat plants at different rates under field conditions. Three groups of seeds were obtained with the following Zn concentrations: 9, 20, and 50 mg Zn kg?1. The seeds differing in Zn were tested for germination rate, seedling height, shoot dry matter production, and shoot Zn concentration under limited and well irrigated conditions in a Zn‐deficient soil with and without Zn application. In an additional experiment carried out in solution culture, root and shoot growth and superoxide dismutase activity (SOD) of seedlings were studied under low and adequate Zn supply. Low seed Zn concentration resulted in significant decreases in seedling height both in Zn‐deficient and sufficient soil, but more clearly under water‐limited soil condition. Decrease in seed germination due to low seed Zn was also more evident under limited water supply. Increasing seed Zn concentration significantly restored impairments in seedling development. Drought‐induced decrease in seedling growth at a given seed Zn concentration was much higher when soil was Zn‐deficient. Increasing seed Zn concentration also significantly improved SOD activity in seedlings grown under low Zn supply, but not under adequate Zn supply. The results suggest that using Zn‐biofortified seeds assures better seed vigor and seedling growth, particularly when Zn and water are limited in the growth medium. The role of a higher antioxidative potential (i.e., higher SOD activity) is discussed as a possible major factor in better germination and development of seedlings resulting from Zn‐biofortified seeds.  相似文献

The effect of aluminum (Al) ions on the germination of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seeds has been investigated using two varieties, one sensitive to Al (Robin) and the other relatively Al‐tolerant (Carazinho). High concentrations of Al (i.e. greater than 1 mM) were required to inhibit the growth of the emerging roots and shoots of germinating seeds of both varieties. Moreover, Al at concentrations up to 10 mM did not affect the mobilization of carbohydrate reserves in the germinating seeds. It was concluded that germinating seeds of both wheat varieties were much less sensitive to the effects of Al than were established seedlings.  相似文献

Abstract

The effects of pretreatment with salicylic acid on wheat seed germination (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Roshan), lipid peroxidation, and superoxide dismutase, catalase, polyphenol oxidase, and peroxidase activity were studied under conditions of salt stress. Seeds treated with different concentrations of salicylic acid were used for measuring germination traits. Salt stress was induced by sodium chloride solution. Seeds were soaked in salicylic acid solution for 24 h, dried with sterile paper, transferred to sterile Petri dishes, and treated with 10 ml NaCl solution at different concentrations. After 1 week, the number of germinated seeds, root length, seedling length, and dry weight were recorded. Antioxidant enzyme activity and lipid peroxidation were also assayed. Salinity decreased seed germination. Thus, a high concentration of NaCl (200 mM) decreased germination by 17.6% compared with control treatment. Salicylic acid significantly increased germination in stressed and control seeds. Salicylic acid increased the level of cell division of seedlings and roots, which increased plant growth. Salt stress significantly increased the activity of the antioxidative enzymes catalase, superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and polyphenol oxidase in wheat seedlings, and salicylic acid reduced the activity of antioxidant enzymes as stress signal molecules. Our results indicated that scavenging of reactive oxygen species was effective, especially by salicylic acid, and that membrane damage was limited. The aim of the present work was to study the character of changes in enzymatic systems induced by NaCl and salicylic acid in wheat seedlings under conditions of salt stress. In brief, salicylic acid treatment reduced the damaging action of salinity on embryo growth and accelerated a restoration of growth processes; thereupon it may be effective for the improvement of seed germination in arid and semi-arid regions.  相似文献

Aluminum (Al) is one of the major factors limiting plant production in acid soils. Calcium (Ca) plays a very important role in the response of plants to salt stress. Little information is available about ratios of Al/Ca on the growth of mungbean seedlings under Al stress. Mungbean seedlings were grown in solution with combined concentrations of Al (0, 2, and 5 mM) and Ca (0–10 mM) in a randomized complete block design experiment for 16 days, to evaluate effects of the ratios on alleviation of Al toxicity for the morphological growth under Al stress. The results showed that Al0 + CaO significantly decreased the epicotyl length, seedling height, root length, fresh weight, and dry weight by 25%, 15%, 16%, 16%, and 16%, respectively, compared with a control (Al0 + Ca0.5). At 2mM Al without Ca in the solution (Al2 + Ca0), the epicotyl length, seedling height, root length, fresh weight, and dry weight were decreased by 26%, 12%, 12%, 14%, and 12%, respectively, compared with a control (Al2 + Ca0.5). At 5mM Al without Ca in the solution (Al5 + Ca0), the epicotyl length, seedling height, root length, fresh weight, and dry weight were also decreased by 16%, 8%, 4%, 9%, and 7%, respectively, compared with a control (Al5 + Ca0.5). At 2mM Al stress, with the ratio of Al/Ca = 1:2 (Al2 + Ca4), the epicotyl length, seedling height, and fresh weight increased 13%, 5%, and 15%, respectively, compared with the control (Al2 + Ca0.5). While at 2mM Al stress, the root length at Al/Ca = 2:1 (Al2 + CA1) and dry weight at Al/Ca = 1:1 (Al2 + Ca2) were shown to be increased by 4% and 5%, respectively. At 5mM Al stress, with the ratio of Al/Ca = 2:1 (Al5 + Ca2.5), the epicotyl length, seedling height, and fresh weight increased 12%, 4%, and 7%, respectively, compared with the control (Al5 + Ca0.5). However, the root length and dry weight with the ratio either of Al/Ca = 2:1, 1:1 or 1:2, had no ameliorating effect, but was shown to have a negative effect, compared with the control (Al5 + Ca0.5). This suggests that the alleviation effect and its extent of Ca on Al toxicity for the seedling morphological growth are dependent on characters, the degree of Al stress, and the ratio of Al to Ca.  相似文献

The effects of calcium and humic acid on seed germination, growth and macro- and micro-nutrient contents of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) seedlings in saline soil conditions were evaluated. Different levels of humic acid (0, 500, 1000 and 2000 mg kg?1) and calcium (0, 100, 200 and 400 mg kg?1) were applied to growth media treated with 50 mg NaCl kg?1 before sowing seeds. Seed germination, hypocotyl length, cotyledon width and length, root size, shoot length, leaf number, shoot and root fresh weights, and shoot and root dry weights of the plant seedlings were determined. Macro- and micro-nutrient (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn) contents of shoot and root of seedlings were also measured. Humic acid applied to the plant growth medium at 1000 mg kg?1 concentration increased seedling growth and nutrient contents of plants. Humic acid not only increased macro-nutrient contents, but also enhanced micro-nutrient contents of plant organs. However, high levels of humic acid arrested plant growth or decreased nutrient contents. Levels of 100 and 200 mg kg?1 Ca2+ application significantly increased N, Ca and S contents of shoot, and N and K contents of root.  相似文献

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy‐metal pollutant in the environment. Salicylic acid (SA) is an essential component of plant resistance to pathogens and also plays an important role in mediating plant responses to some abiotic stresses. In the present investigation, the potential effects of SA in alleviating Cd toxicity during seedling stage of rice were studied. Seeds of rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Xiushui 11) were sterilized and divided into two groups. Half of the seeds were presoaked in 0.1 mM SA solution for 24 h, then both groups were allowed to germinate under various Cd concentrations for 7 d. Cadmium treatments caused a gradual decrease in vigor index, root length, α‐amylase activity, and the mitotic index of root tips. However, pretreatment with SA partially alleviated the negative effect of Cd on germination parameters and increased enzyme activity and mitotic index. Cadmium uptake by seedlings increased with increasing Cd concentration and followed Michaelis‐Menten kinetics. Salicylic acid pretreatment of seeds influenced the Cd level in the seedlings by decreasing Vmax. The results suggest that SA plays a positive role in rice‐seed germination and early seedling growth by protecting it against Cd toxicity.  相似文献

Abstract

Salinity is one of the serious abiotic stresses that has adverse effects on plant growth. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of sodium chloride (NaCl) on germination and growth parameters of tomato plant as well as the role of Ca2+as an ameliorating agent. 100?mM NaCl and two concentrations of calcium (5 and 10?mM) were applied to tomato seeds and seedlings. This study was carried out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a total of six treatments each comprising of three replicates. The application of 100?mM of NaCl delayed the germination time by 27.6%, reduced the seedling length and seedling vigor by 24.33% and germination stress tolerance by 27.6% as compared to control. Salinity also reduced the plant growth (root and shoot length, root fresh and dry weight, shoot fresh and dry weight, membrane stability, relative water content and leaf area), whereas the application of calcium mitigated the negative effects of salinity on germination and growth to a greater extent. With increased calcium concentration, growth and germination increased significantly both alone and in the salt-affected plant. 10?mM calcium showed best results and enhanced the promptness index by 20.7%, seedling length and vigor by 15.1% and GSI by 20.7%. It also improved root fresh and dry weight, shoot fresh and dry weight, relative water content and leaf area. Similarly, 5?mM calcium also increased plant height and membrane stability index. The present study suggests that application of Ca2+ enhanced the growth of tomato plant under saline conditions.  相似文献

The present study evaluated effects of seed zinc (Zn) priming at concentrations from 0 to 25 mM ZnSO4 on seedling vigor and viability in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Zinc priming substantially increased Zn concentration in the husk, but not in brown rice. The movement of primed Zn from the husk into the inner layers of rice seed during germination was suggested by Zn concentration declining in the husk coinciding with the increase in brown rice over time (r = –0.62; p < 1%), which did not happen in unprimed seed. Zinc priming significantly enhanced seedling growth and development up to 5 mM. Germination rate, root number, and dry weight were much higher than in unprimed seed, but higher Zn concentrations (10 and 25 mM) depressed seedling vigor. Priming rice seed with 2.5 mM Zn also improved the germination rate of rice in a Zn‐deficient soil, with or without soil Zn application. The results confirm that priming rice seed with Zn can improve germination and seedling vigor and for the first time show how Zn requirement of germinating rice seed and seedlings can be met by the prime Zn accumulated in the husk.  相似文献

为揭示低温等离子体处理对小麦种子活力及幼苗生理特性的影响,该研究以济麦22、百农307为处理对象,对其进行不同时长(0、6、9、12、15 s)的介质阻挡放电(dielectric barrier discharge,DBD)低温等离子体处理,分析其对小麦种子萌发、幼苗生长、种皮形态结构、幼苗代谢生理及抗氧化性指标的影响。结果表明:以氩气为气源的DBD低温等离子体处理明显提高了小麦种子发芽率及其幼苗根苗长、鲜干重、活力指数;各处理时长条件下小麦种子吸水率均有所增加,当处理时间为9 s时,两种小麦种子的吸水率增幅最大,分别显著增加了6.4%(济麦22)、5.9%(百农307)(P<0.05);小麦种子接触角随处理时间的延长而逐渐减小,表明其润湿性能逐渐提高;处理9 s时小麦的种皮结构组织轮廓模糊,呈现明显裂纹;处理后小麦种子的新生幼苗中光合色素含量、可溶性蛋白含量均得到不同程度的增加;处理后小麦种子的新生幼苗抗氧化能力有所提高,当处理时间为9 s时,两种小麦幼苗中的丙二醛含量降幅最大,分别显著降低了15.6%(济麦22)、18.0%(百农307)(P<0.05)。因此,DBD低温等离子体有效改善了小麦种子活力及其幼苗生理特性,可作为潜在的种子强化方法用于提高作物生产中的种子质量及促进后续小麦生长。  相似文献

The effects of silicon (Si) on the toxicity of aluminum (Al) to mungbean (Phaseolus aureus Roxb.) seedlings were studied in a growth chamber. Mungbean seedlings were grown in a nutrient solution with combinations of three concentrations of Si (0,1, and 10 mM) and three concentrations of Al (0, 2, and 5 mM) in randomized completely block design experiments for 16 days. Silicon at 1 mM in the solution decreased root length, fresh and dry weights, and chlorophyll content, and showed no significant effect on epicotyl length and seedling height, and protein contents of shoots or roots in mungbean seedling under no Al stress. But, Si at 10 mM showed marked toxic effects on mungbean seedling growth and increased protein contents of the shoots or roots. In contrast, under 2 mM Al stress, Si addition at 1 mM had significant increasing effect on root length, fresh and dry weights, and chlorophyll content. It also had decreasing effect on protein contents of the shoots or roots, and had no effect on epicotyl length and seedling height. Silicon addition at 10 mM showed no effect on morphological and physiological measurements of mungbean seedling. However, Si at 1 mM added to solution only increased seedling height, epicotyl length, fresh weight, and chlorophyll content, but decreased dry weight and protein content of the roots under 5 mM Al stress, significantly. Silicon addition at 10 mM showed similar toxic effects on mungbean seedling growth under 5 mM Al stress to that under no Al stress.  相似文献

A filter-paper bioassay method was used to investigate the differential response of 23 barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) genotypes to boron (B) toxicity. Two-day-old seedlings with equal radicles were treated with 10 (B10) or 100 (B100) ppm B for 10 d. Root and shoot growth was not affected by B10, but root growth was significantly reduced by B100. The shoot growth at B100 was either unaffected or affected to a smaller extent than the root. A significant inverse correlation was found between B content of seed and seed germination, and between root growth and B contents of root and shoot under B100. The barley genotypes with lower B contents in seeds had a higher germination, longer root length, and accumulated less B in roots and shoots when treated with B100. The B-tolerant genotypes with longer roots had lower B contents in their seed, root, and shoot and vice versa. These results suggest that a great variation exists among barley genotypes in response to high B application. There was no difference between naked (uncovered) and covered varieties in response to B100. The B tolerance could be attributed to the lower B content of seed and lower uptake or accumulation of B in the root and shoot.  相似文献

Abstract

Most investigations on the effect of acid soil on legumes have focused on growth, nodulation, nitrogen fixation, and mineral nutrient uptake. Very little attention has been given to the effects of H+ toxicity per se and calcium (Ca) deficiency per se on germination and seedling survival of legumes, particularly groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.). This paper reports the effects of solution pH and external Ca on seed germination, seedling survival, and growth of groundnut cv. Falcon in sand culture. The treatments consisted of solution pH values ranging from 3.0 to 6.0 in Experiments 1 and 2, and a factorial combination of pH (3.5, 4.5, and 5.5) and Ca (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mM) in Experiments 3 and 4. The percentage of groundnut kernels that germinated was little affected by solution pH, and ranged from 86% at pH 3.0 to 92% at pH 6.0. By contrast, seedling survival was more sensitive to pH, with only 51% surviving at pH 3.0 compared with 85% and 92% at pH 5.0 and 6.0, respectively. Increasing the solution Ca concentration diminished the adverse effects of low pH on germination and seedling survival. Total root length increased 425‐fold as the pH was increased from 3.0 to 6.0. Increasing the Ca concentration from 0 to 2.0 mM Ca increased root length by 140% and total root surface area by 95%. Lateral root formation was retarded by the combination of low Ca and low pH. Shoot and root dry mass increased with increasing solution pH and Ca concentration. Results of this study indicate that low pH per se did not impact on germination of groundnut, but significantly reduced seedling survival and early growth. The adverse effects of low pH on seedling growth of groundnut were alleviated by high solution Ca concentrations.  相似文献

A greenhouse experiment was conducted using twelve Japonica rice genotypes differing in grain Cd concentration, to study the genotypic difference in germination and early seedling growth in response to Cd stress and its relation to Cd accumulation. The results showed that under low Cd level (0.5 mM), germination was significantly enhanced for most rice genotypes, but higher Cd levels (2.5 and 10.0 mM) inhibited germination dramatically. When exposed to 10.0 mM Cd, a few genotypes could still germinate, but the seedlings of all genotypes would die in early stage. Shoot height and dry weight, and root length and dry weight of seedling were significantly inhibited at 0.5 and 2.5 mM Cd levels, irrespectively of genotypes, and the inhibition became more severe under higher Cd level. There was a significant genotypic difference in response of germination, early seedling growth and shoot Cd concentration to Cd stress. The difference was the largest for germination, followed by root growth, the least for shoot growth. A cluster analysis of tolerance indices, including germination rate, shoot height and weight, root length and weight of the plants exposed to 2.5 mM Cd level showed that 12 rice genotypes may be grouped into three clusters, i.e. high-, intermediate- and weak Cd-tolerance. No significant correlation was found between grain Cd concentration and Cd-tolerance in terms of germination and seedling growth, and shoot Cd concentrations, suggesting that it is possible to develop rice cultivars with high Cd-tolerance and low grain Cd accumulation.  相似文献

Abstract

There has been strong support for the hypothesis that the adverse effects of plant residues on crop yields are due to phytotoxic compounds derived from these residues. This hypothesis is based largely on studies showing that, when compared with distilled water, aqueous extracts of plant residues have an adverse effect on seed germination and seedling growth. Because seed germination and seedling growth are reduced by a delay in germination resulting from slow uptake of water by seeds, we studied the possibility that the adverse effects of aqueous extracts of plant residues on seed germination and seedling growth might be at least partly due to water uptake by seeds being retarded by water‐soluble constituents of these residues. To test this possibility, we compared the rates of water uptake and germination of seeds of corn (Zea mays L.), soybean [Glycine max. (L.) Merrill], and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) when these seeds were treated with distilled water and with aqueous extracts of corn, sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], and wheat residues. We found that the rates of water uptake and germination of seeds treated with aqueous extracts of plant residues were appreciably slower than the corresponding rates for seeds treated with distilled water. This may be due to the water potentials of these extracts (ca. ‐50 kPa) because when seeds of corn, sorghum, and wheat were treated with a solution of polyethylene glycol 8000 having a water potential similar to that of the extracts of plant residues tested, the rates of water uptake and germination were also slower than the corresponding rates for seeds treated with distilled water. These observations suggest that the adverse effects of aqueous extracts of plant residues on seed germination and seedling growth when compared with distilled water may be partly due to constituents of these extracts inducing water potential effects that reduce water uptake by germinating seeds.  相似文献

以采集于河西走廊中部荒漠边缘的苦豆子(Sophora alopecuroides L.)和披针叶黄华(Thermopsis lanceolate L.)种子为试验材料, 以不同渗透势PEG-6000 溶液模拟干旱条件, 研究了2 种植物种子萌发和幼苗生长对干旱胁迫的响应特征。研究结果显示, 随着干旱胁迫程度的加剧, 2 种植物种子吸胀速率、萌发率、萌发指数、活力指数、苗高、根长和组织饱和含水量等指标均表现出明显降低趋势, 而幼苗干重、根干重和根冠比均呈先升后降趋势。2 种植物种子萌发对干旱胁迫均较为敏感, 苦豆子和披针叶黄华种子能够萌发的最低渗透势阈值分别为-0.65 MPa 和-0.42 MPa。2 种植物因干旱胁迫未能萌发的种子复水后萌发率均较高。分析认为, 2 种植物种子萌发和幼苗生长对干旱胁迫的响应特征对幼苗的成功定植和种群的自然更新具有重要生态学意义, 但在人工栽培时保证土壤墒情应是保障建植成功的关键措施。  相似文献

The influence of seed priming with sorghum water extract (SWE) and benzyl amino purine (BAP) on germination metabolism and early seedling growth of wheat was evaluated in this study. For priming, wheat seeds were soaked in SWE (5%), BAP (5 mg L?1) alone and mixed with nonionic surfactant Tween-80 (0.05%). All the seed priming treatments significantly (p ≤ 0.05) improved the germination metabolism and early seedling growth as compared with dry seeds. Seed priming with combination of SWE, BAP and Tween-80 was the most effective treatment in improving the final germination percentage (34%), number of tillers per pot (50%), fresh weight (32%), dry weight (63%), chlorophyll contents (7%) and total phenolic contents (36%) over dry seed control. Similarly, maximum total soluble proteins, total soluble sugars and α-amylase activity were observed from the combined priming with SWE, BAP and Tween-80. Total soluble proteins were maximum in growing seedlings followed by germinating seeds than primed seeds. The germination and growth improvement by priming with SWE was comparable to BAP which makes it a cost-effective natural growth regulator. Combined applications are more effective, which may be due to enzymatic regulation in a synergistic manner.  相似文献

极低频脉冲电场与高压静电场对作物种子萌发影响的差异   总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0  
为了明确基于极低频脉冲电场(pulsed electric field,PEF)的种子处理技术与基于高压静电场(highvoltage electrostatic field,HVEF)的种子处理技术的有效性及其差异,研究了极低频PEF和HVEF对绿豆生长的影响。结果表明,极低频PEF处理对绿豆幼苗的质量、芽长和根长都有明显的促进作用,相同强度的HVEF处理对绿豆幼苗的根长生长有一定促进作用,对芽长的影响不显著。机理研究显示,极低频PEF和HVEF处理均对萌发绿豆的氧化代谢和蛋白质代谢有一定影响,在种子萌发初期,极低频PEF处理促进了种子储藏蛋白的分解,在后期促进了新蛋白的合成,HVEF处理则对萌发后期的蛋白合成有一定促进作用。研究还发现,极低频PEF和HVEF均可通过诱发超氧阴离子自由基激活种子超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性,促进过氧化物酶(POD)的合成,但是,极低频PEF对SOD和POD的影响大于HVEF。讨论了极低频PEF和HVEF对绿豆萌发影响差异的原因。  相似文献

Different concentrations of aqueous extract of fly ash were prepared by soaking air dried fly ash and mixing thoroughly with an electric blender. Extracts were then applied to the seeds of corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) after being filtered through a Whatman No. 42 filter paper. Fly ash extract in the lower concentration range of 0.5 to 1.0% (W/V) had no significant effect on germination and seedling growth of each of the two crops. Higher concentrations of fly ash extracts, however, had deleterious effects on the percentage of germination, viability, number of roots, shoot and root length, fresh weight and dry weight of seedlings of both the crops. The elemental concentrations in shoot and root systems of control seedlings of corn and soybean were found to be the same, whereas in the extract treated corn and soybean seedlings, a relatively high elemental concentration was found in roots as compared to shoots.  相似文献
