Japanese black pine (Pinus thunbergii) seedlings resistant to pine wood nematode (PWN; Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) are routinely selected in Japanese field inoculation trials. Correlations between morphological factors (such as height, stem diameter at ground level and number of branches on seedlings) and disease resistance were examined to improve the production efficiency of 1‐year‐old black pine seedlings for inoculation. Family relatedness and environmental conditions strongly affected seedling resistance; accordingly, logistic regression analysis was used to separate effects of these two variables. Height and stem diameter at ground level significantly correlated with disease resistance in seedlings inoculated with PWN. Because (a) interactions between stem diameter at ground level and environmental condition were significant and (b) height did not interact with any other factor, it was concluded that height of 1‐year‐old Japanese black pine seedlings independently correlated with PWN resistance. Thus, field inoculation tests should use tall seedlings to achieve enhanced survival rates. 相似文献

Production of quality seedlings is an important aspect of successful tree planting. No information is available on the effect of nutrients and water on the growth and development of the seedlings of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss), an important component of many tropical agroforestry systems. In an experiment in central India, the growth and nutrient-use efficiency of neem seedlings grown at various levels of light, nutrients (N and P), and water stress were determined. Seedlings were given light (diffused and complete) and nutrient (N and P) treatments comprising either high N-high P, high N-low P, low N-high P, or low N-low P. Seedlings grown in complete light (800 mol/m2/s) had four times more biomass than those grown in diffused light (200 mol/m2/s). Significant increase in seedling biomass was observed with nitrogen application, while phosphorus had no effect on biomass. Leaves contributed maximum biomass, followed by roots and stem. Nutrient use efficiency decreased with an increase in the supply of nutrients. In another experiment, containerized and bare-root seedlings were subjected to five watering treatments, viz., watering twice a week, watering weekly, watering every alternate week, watering every third week, and natural precipitation. Plant moisture stress affected both growth and survival of neem seedlings. Only 50 per cent of seedlings survived in severe drought treatment (no. 4) whereas 90 to 95 per cent seedlings showed growth in all other treatments. Plant moisture stress in severe drought treatment averaged –21 bar while in other treatments it ranged from –9 to –12 bar. Shoot-root ratio was high in bare-root seedlings as compared to containerized seedlings. Containerized seedlings had shown better endurance against drought than the bare-root seedlings. The results suggest that neem seedlings adjust their nutrient use efficiency and can be grown even under limited available resources. It is also inferred that the species can tolerate soil resource depletion caused by competitor species.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date. 相似文献

Responses of the endemic leguminous shrub Bauhinia faberi var. microphylla, to various soil water supply regimes were studied in order to assess water stress tolerance of seedlings. Two-month-old
seedlings were grown under water supply regimes of 100, 80, 60, 40, and 20% water field capacity (FC), respectively, in a
temperature and light-controlled greenhouse. Plant height and leaf number were measured monthly over a 4-month period, while
water use (WU), water-use efficiency (WUE), leaf relative water content (RWC), biomass production and its partitioning were
recorded at the end of the experiment. Seedlings exhibited the greatest biomass production, height, basal diameter, branch
number, leaf number, and leaf area when soil content was at 100% FC, and slightly declined at 80% FC. These parameters declined
significantly under 60% FC water supply, and severely reduced under 40 and 20% FC. RWC, WU and WUE decreased, while the ratio
of root mass to stem mass (R:S) increased in response to decreasing water supply. Water stress caused leaf shedding, but not
plant death. The results demonstrated that B. faberi var. microphylla seedlings could tolerate drought by reducing branching and leaf area while maintaining a high R:S ratio. However, low dry
mass and WUE at 40 and 20% FC suggested that the seedlings did not produce significant biomass under prolonged severe water
deficit. Therefore, before introducing B. faberi var. microphylla in vegetation restoration efforts, water supply above 40% FC is recommended for seedlings to maintain growth. 相似文献

An inverse relationship exists between stem water potential and electrical resistance (ER) in healthy red maple Acer rubrum L. (r = - .93 to r = - .98). Stem ER of red maple seedlings was measured at 1 to 2 day intervals during a 14 week course of infection by Verticillium dahliae Klebahn. No significant differences (P = .05) in ER were found between moderately to severely infected and control plants, although stem water potential of infected plants was significantly lower than the control plants. In plants which displayed only slight if any symptoms and in which no significant change in stem water potential occurred, ER of the infected plants was significantly lower than that of the control plants. 相似文献

Trees of tropical semi-deciduous forests range from "drought-avoiding" stem-succulent species with low-density wood (< 0.5 g cm(-3)), which maintain high stem water potentials (psi(STEM) > -0.7 MPa) throughout the year, to "drought-tolerant" deciduous hardwood species (wood density > 0.75 g cm(-3)), which dehydrate strongly during seasonal drought (psi(STEM) < -6 MPa). In stem-succulent and other drought-avoiding species, xylem vessels are surrounded by extensive parenchyma providing intracellular water storage, whereas in deciduous species stem water storage is mainly extracellular. Thirteen tropical and two temperate tree species, representing different functional types, were studied. The contribution of stem water storage to these species' water use during water stress was determined by time-series analysis of dehydration and rehydration of excised leaf-bearing branches of these trees. During dehydration, stem water potential slowly declined 1-2 MPa in drought-avoiding species, but in deciduous species it rapidly fell 4-5 MPa, suggesting that water storage capacitance was related to xylem anatomy. After immersion of dehydrated, leafless branches in water, the decline in xylem tension and rate of water uptake during rehydration were linearly related, as predicted by application of Ohm's law to water flux. The decline of xylem tension during rehydration was biphasic, with a phase of rapid water uptake into extracellular spaces being followed by a prolonged phase of slow water uptake into living cells. The rate of water uptake during rehydration and the minima of leaf water potential observed in the field during the dry season were highly correlated with water storage capacitance, indicating that wood anatomy is a major determinant of drought adaptation. 相似文献

Summary
Eucalyptus gomphocephala A.DC seedlings grown horizontally for 103 days had less terminal shoot elongation and higher internal and emanated ethylene levels in the basal portion of the stem than seedlings grown vertically under otherwise identical conditions. Horizontal seedlings had greater radial growth in the upper stem half than in the lower half of the basal portion of the stem. Upper halves contained 60–80 percent tension wood by volume, lower halves 0–10 percent tension wood. Radial growth in vertical seedlings was symmetrical, and they contained negligible tension wood. Upper halves of the basal portion of the stem of horizontal seedlings had greater amounts of internal and emanated ethylene than lower halves and vertical seedling halves. Ethylene differences between random halves of vertical seedlings were smaller than differences between upper and lower halves of horizontal seedlings. The data suggest an association between increased ethylene levels and tension wood formation.This work was made possible through the award of a Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellowship and an Honorarium to N. D. Nelson by the Australian-American Educational Foundation and CSIRO Division of Building Research, respectively, and is part of a larger body of research by the authors on hormonal aspects of wood quality in rapidly grown Eucalyptus spp. Appreciation is experssed to Peter Fitzgibbon and Jugo Ilic for competent technical assistance. 相似文献

The adaptation responses to different water conditions and the drought tolerance of Sophora davidii seedlings were assessed in a greenhouse experiment. Two-month-old seedlings were subjected to the following water supplies
for 95 days: 100, 80, 60, 40 and 20% of field water capacity. The seedlings at 100% FC had the greatest productivity, height,
basal diameter, branch number, leaf number and leaf area. Water supply <80% FC was the threshold of drought-initiated negative
effects on seedling growth, yield and physiological processes; these parameters were severely reduced at 20% FC, however,
there was no plant death during the experiment. Moreover, water stress decreased leaf relative water content, specific leaf
area, leaf area ratio, and water-use efficiency (WUE), whereas it increased the biomass allocation to roots, which resulted
in a higher root:stem mass ratio under drought. The S. davidii seedlings tolerated drought by maintaining high leaf relative water content and by reducing branching and leaf expansion.
However, low productivity and WUE at 20% FC suggested that seedlings did not produce high biomass under severe drought. Therefore,
prior to introducing S. davidii in forestation efforts, a water supply >40% FC is recommended for seedlings to maintain growth and productivity. These results
provide insights into limitations and opportunities for establishment of S. davidii in arid regions. 相似文献

In order to assess the influence of water stress on the development of Sphaeropsis sapinea cankers in Pinus halepensis, the stems of 4‐ to 5‐year‐old potted seedlings were artificially inoculated with the fungus before and after being kept at controlled water regimes from April 1997 to March 1998. In the pre‐water‐stress inoculation experiment, the canker length, measured 5 months after inoculation (September 1997), was greater in seedlings predisposed to extreme water deficit (midday needle water potential between ?4.5 and ?5.5 MPa). In the post‐water‐stress inoculation experiment, the fungus was inoculated in April 1998, after irrigation had enabled the seedlings to resume normal needle water potential. In this case also, at 5 months after inoculation, longer cankers were visible in seedlings that had been subjected to extreme water deficit. These findings suggest that the occurrence of marked water stress, although apparently tolerated by Aleppo pine, can enhance the development of S. sapinea cankers in this species, regardless of whether the stress occurs before or after infection by the fungus. 相似文献

At Florence, Italy, several species of pine were experimentally infected with blister rust. Inoculations were carried out on 3 and 15 months-old seedlings. After antificial and natural inoculation, Brutia, Aleppo, Austrian, Swiss mountain, Maritime and Italian stone pine showed pyenia and aecia. Spotted seedlings of Ponderosa pine showed only mycelium of C. flaccidum in needle and stem tissues. The exotic species seemed to have a very high degree of resistance to blister rust. 相似文献

The association between water stress and susceptibility of Quercus cerris to the fungal parasite Hypoxylon mediterraneum was studied in field-grown trees and greenhouse-grown seedlings. Susceptibility of Q. cerris to the fungus, expressed as extension of wood discolorations, increased in field-grown trees during drought and increased in greenhouse-grown seedlings in response to limited water supply. In both seedlings and trees, spread of the fungus in the vascular system was higher when leaf water potentials were low than when leaf water potentials were high, and was significantly correlated to loss of hydraulic conductivity of xylem. The presence of the fungus in the xylem suggests that H. mediterraneum could use embolized vessels to spread in the host. 相似文献

The effect of water-stress conditioning on water relations and histological features ofPinus thunbergii Parl. inoculated with avirulent isolate ofBursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Buhrer) Nickle, pine wood nematode, were investigated. Pines were kept under 8 days cycle of severe water stress.
One-half of the water-stressed pines died as a result of infection by avirulent pine wood nematode and water stress tended
to induce increased susceptibility and/or decreased resistance of pines to avirulent pine wood nematode. In dead pines, the
water conducting function of xylem was lost, and all of the parenchyma cells died. In surviving pines, the xylem hydraulic
conductivity and the xylem water content were significantly reduced (12 to 23% and 77 to 83%, respectively) compared to controls.
Safranin dye perfusion of excised axis stem segments indicated that the water conductance was limited to the very narrow peripheral
area of xylem. Embolism caused by cavitation in the tracheids occurred in the central part of xylem and in that dysfunctional
region of the xylem the axial parenchyma cells surrounding the epithelial cells, and ray parenchyma cells partly degenerated
but the epithelial cells survived. The disruption of tracheid shape observed in surviving pines indicates that avirulent pine
wood nematode temporarily disturbed cell division of the cambium. Considering the differences in responses between dead pines
and surviving pines after inoculation with avirulent pine wood nematode, the death of water-stressed pines apparently resulted
from death of cells, in particular the vascular cambium and the loss of xylem hydraulic function by cavitation. 相似文献

The effects of the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus mosseae on plant growth, leaf solutes and root absorption area of trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.) seedlings were studied in potted culture under water stress conditions. Inoculation with G. mosseae increased plant height, stem diameter, leaf area, shoot dry weight, root dry weight and plant dry weight, when the soil water
content was 20%, 16% and 12%. AM inoculation also promoted the active and total absorption area of root system and absorption
of phosphorus from the rhizosphere, enhanced the content of soluble sugar in leaves and roots, and reduced proline content
in leaves. AM seedings had higher plant water use efficiency and higher drought tolerance than non-AM seedlings. Effects of
G. mosseae inoculation on trifoliate orange seedlings under 20% and 16% soil water content were more significant than under 12% soil
water content. AM infection was severely restrained by 12% soil water content. Thus, effects of AM fungi on plants were probably
positively related to the extent of root colonization by AM fungi. The mechanism of AM fungi in enhancing drought resistance
of host plants ascribed to greater osmotic adjustment and greater absorption area of root system by AM colonization.

Seedling growth is often hampered on sites dominated by Kalmia angustifolia. In June 2000, a trial was established on a clear-cut site in Quebec, Canada, with a high cover of Kalmia and Vaccinium species. The objectives were to evaluate how soil scarification and fertilization at the time of planting influence early growth and establishment of black spruce [Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP] and jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) seedlings. During the first 2 years, scarification reduced Kalmia cover three-fold and doubled the distance from seedlings to the nearest Kalmia stem. Scarification did not increase soil-extractable NH4-N concentration, and reduced soil potassium, calcium and magnesium. Scarification had no effect on seedling water stress. Seedling growth improved and foliar nutrient concentrations were generally higher in scarified plots than in unscarified control plots. No differences were observed between single- and double-pass scarification for any variables except for ground-level stem diameter of seedlings, which was greater with double-pass scarification (12.1 vs 13.1 mm). Spot fertilization increased seedling growth and foliar nitrogen concentrations. Jack pine growth was greater than black spruce growth, an effect enhanced when seedlings were fertilized. 相似文献

Two-year-old, container-grown red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) seedlings from a New Hampshire seed source were exposed to 10 or 11 drying cycles in which the seedlings were not watered until their midday (1400 h) xylem water potentials averaged -1.57 MPa. Control seedlings were kept well watered to maintain midday water potentials of about -0.73 MPa. After the final drying cycle, the water-stressed seedlings were rehydrated and osmotic potentials were determined by pressure-volume analysis. Gas exchange at ambient CO(2) concentration (338 ppm) and at an elevated CO(2) concentration (838 ppm) was measured on both groups of plants as they slowly dried down. No osmotic adjustment or photosynthetic acclimation occurred as a result of the water-stress treatment and both groups of seedlings maintained photosynthesis to water potentials as low as -3.0 MPa. Twenty-four hours after rehydration, the water-stressed seedlings had photosynthetic rates as high as the control seedlings. Estimated stomatal limitation to photosynthesis was approximately 30% down to water potentials of -1.4 MPa, but increased steadily as water potentials decreased further. At ambient CO(2) concentrations (338 ppm) and water potentials averaging -2.45 MPa, photosynthetic rates of water-stressed seedlings were 15% those of well-watered seedlings, whereas when the same water-stressed seedlings were measured in the presence of an elevated concentration of CO(2) (838 ppm) their photosynthetic rates were 73% those of well-watered seedlings measured at an ambient CO(2) concentration (338 ppm). 相似文献

Water relation patterns and subsequent growth were studied on bare-root and container jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) and black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) seedlings during the first growing season on boreal cut-over sites.Containerized seedlings of both species had greater needle conductance compared to bare-root seedlings over a range of absolute humidity deficits. Needle conductance of containerized seedlings in both species remained high during periods of high absolute humidity deficits and increasing plant moisture stress. Bare-root seedlings of both species had a greater early season resistance to water-flow through the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC) than container seedlings. Resistance to water flow through the SPAC decreased in bare-noot seedlings of both species as the growing season progressed, and was comparable to container seedlings 9 through 14 weeks after planting. Four weeks after field planting jack pine container seedlings had greater new root development compared to bare-root seedlings, while at the end of the summer both stock types had similar new root development. Black spruce bare-root seedlings had greater new root development compared with container seedlings throughout the growing season. 相似文献

Reduced physiological efficiency as well as low and irregular germination rate under environmental stress conditions (e.g., salinity) are among the major factors affecting the propagation of numerous plants, in particular medicinal ones. A factorial experiment using a completely randomized design was employed to evaluate the effect of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on hopbush seed germination and seedling growth under salinity stress. After the seeds were inoculated with the Azospirillum lipoferum, Azotobacter chroococcum, and Azospirillum + Azotobacter and exposed to salinity stress at six levels, they were placed into a germinator at 20°C temperature and 65% relative humidity with a photoperiodic regime of 16 h light/8 h dark at 1,000 lux fluorescent light. The seeds inoculated with the bacterial strains could tolerate salinity levels of up to 50 dS/m and germinate. The combined treatment of Azospirillum + Azotobacter increased germination percentage at 20 and 50 dS/m levels by 21.67 and 10%, respectively. Also, A. chroococcum at 15 and 20 dS/m and Azospirillum + Azotobacter at 50 dS/m stress levels increased germination rate by 88, 316, and 155%, respectively, compared with the control. Furthermore, plant growth parameters—e.g., root and stem length, root and stem dry and fresh weights, as well as the ratios of root length and weight to the stem counterparts—were considerably enhanced by Azotobacter chroococcum treatment under elevated salinity stress (15 and 20 dS/m), relative to the control. Inoculation with A. chroococcum more favorably affected on and was also more compatible with Dodonaea viscosa seedlings leading to considerably improved seedlings growth parameters as well as seed germination under salinity stress. 相似文献

The overall aim of this study was to provide comprehensive durability characteristics of wood species underutilized but frequently occurring in Central and Northern Europe: Common juniper (Juniperus communis L.), Black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.), English yew (Taxus baccata L.), and Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia L.). Decay resistance was tested against white and brown rot causing basidiomycetes and soft rot causing micro-fungi in terrestrial microcosms. Their wetting ability was determined in terms of capillary water uptake at the end-grain, the liquid water uptake during submersion, the water vapor uptake at high humidity, and the water release during drying. All tests were performed with unleached and leached specimens. Durability classes were assigned based on results from the different tests. Juniper and Yew were classified very durable (Durability class DC 1); Black cherry and Rowan were found to be less durable (DC 3–5). Leaching did not affect the durability classification significantly. Durability characteristics were completed with different indicators for the wetting ability of the four wood species. The combined effect of wetting ability and inherent decay resistance was considered for service life modeling based on a resistance model using dose–response relationships between material climate (dose) and fungal decay above ground (response). 相似文献

The effects of j-rooting on water stress and growth of loblolly (Pious taeda L.) and eastern white pine (Pious strobus L.) were examined over three growing seasons in the field. Seedlings were planted in an area with severe herbaceous competition with either their roots planted straight or bent into a j shape. All seedlings were planted with their root collars placed at the soil surface. During the first year j-rooted seedlings consistently had lower water potentials but never statistically significant. Since both treatments were planted with the root collar at the soil surface, this trend was likely due to an initial shallower root system in j-rooted seedlings. In year three no differences in water potential were significant and no trends were evident. Growth did not differ significantly by treatment at any time but, by year three, j-rooted plants were consistently larger for both species. 相似文献

Pinus densiflora and P. thunbergii, native to Japan, are highly susceptible to pine wilt disease caused by infection with a pine wood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus). Trees of these susceptible species have occasionally been found surviving in forests that are extensively damaged by this disease. Seedlings from a part of surviving trees that were selected as resistant families indicate lower mortality rates after the infection. The factors that prevent the symptoms from developing in resistant families of a susceptible species, P. densiflora, as based on the analysis of the pathogens behavior in the tree tissue and the anatomy of the resistant families, are presented in this paper. Nematode populations remained lower in the stems of seedlings from resistant families of P. densiflora than in the stems of non-resistant families. Areas dysfunctional in water transport developed in the stems of resistant families, but did not reach a size large enough to seriously block the ascent of sap. These results suggest that there are systems within the seedlings that prevent nematode migration and reproduction. The 2-year-old seedlings from resistant families of P. densiflora, however, did not suppress the pathogen activity. Numerous branches are a visible characteristic in the seedlings of some resistant families. The arrangement of the resin canals, the only channels in the tree to the pathogen migration, was disoriented at the joints between the branches and the main stem. Such a structure may be effective as a barrier to nematode dispersal. 相似文献
