FDA‐active fungal mycelium and lignin concentrations in some needle and leaf litter types     

《Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research》2012,27(1-4):451-462

The concentration of live fungal biomass (FDA mycelium) was investigated in seven chemically very different litter types, i.e. grey alder leaves, green and brown leaves of white birch, green and brown needles of both Scots pine and lodgepole pine. Concentration of FDA mycelium in the litters changed with the season, being low during the dry late summer and relatively higher during the more rainy, wet autumn. During autumns, when moisture was not limiting, lignin concentration and live fungal biomass were negatively related. It was concluded that the concentration of live fungal biomass in litter decreased linearly as the lignin concentration increased and thus also decreased linearly to decomposition level of the litter.  相似文献   

Decomposition of tree root litter in a climatic transect of coniferous forests in northern Europe: A synthesis     

《Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research》2012,27(1-4):402-412

The purpose of this study was to understand the variation in root litter mass‐loss rates in a climatic transect across a large region ranging from the Arctic Circle (66°N) in Scandinavia to Berlin (52°N) in north‐east Germany, dominated by coniferous monocultural forests. To investigate the combined influence of litter quality and climate, data were used from 37 sites and plots at which root litters of three coniferous species (Pinus sylvestris, Pinus contorta and Picea abies) had been incubated. In spite of the considerable climatic differences among sites, there were no strong relationships between any climatic variable and the lst‐yr mass loss (range 17.0–40.9%). For the lst‐yr mass loss, the average annual temperature was the most rate‐regulating factor for all litter combined, with a value for R ² _adj of 0.186. Substrate quality also had an influence. Thus, for the whole region lignin concentration was significant, with a value for R ² _adj of 0.142. For the separated groups of pine and spruce stands the value for r ² increased but the factor average temperature still dominated and for pine the R ² _adj reached a value of 0.346. Over the region N concentration in the fresh pine root litter was significant (R² _adj = 0.232). For the root litter of P. abies the average temperature in July was the strongest rate‐regulating climatic factor, with a value for R ² _adj of 0.381. A combination of temperature in July and the initial P concentration in the litter gave an R ² _adj value of 0.713 for P. abies litter, thus explaining about 71% of the variation.  相似文献

陈晏  戴传超  王兴祥 《土壤学报》2010,47(3)

通过向盆栽土壤中分别添加茅苍术(Atractylodes lancea (thunb) DC.)凋落物（CK）、内生真菌拟茎点霉（Phomopsis sp. 编号B3）和灭菌凋落物(MB)、内生真菌和凋落物(WB)、内生真菌和凋落物及菌体发酵液(WBF)、凋落物和灭菌发酵液 (WMF) 后,定期检测凋落物纤维素、木质素降解率,测定土壤纤维素酶和木质素酶活性,并利用巢式PCR方法跟踪土壤中活体内生真菌B3动态变化,研究了土壤施加内生真菌对掉落的茅苍术残体的分解及土壤降解酶活性影响。结果表明,植物内生真菌离开宿主进入土壤仍具有生理活性,能适应非宿主环境,存活30d之久。在此期间,内生真菌在富含凋落物的土壤中明显加快纤维素、木质素的降解,在10d、30d、60d取样测定,处理组中WBF和MB的土壤纤维素酶活性显著高于其他处理组,处理组MB和WB的土壤木质素酶活性显著高于其他处理组。  相似文献   

Pod Dehiscence in Relation to Chemical Components of Pod Shell in Soybean     

《Plant Production Science》2013,16(3):278-282

Abstract

The relationship between chemical components of pod shell and pod dehiscence was investigated using 25 soybean cultivars; 16 with easily dehiscing pods (susceptible cultivars) and 9 with hardly dehiscing pods (resistant cultivars). After air-drying for about three weeks, the pod shells were ground and analyzed for the contents of neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), acid detergent lignin (ADL), hemi-cellulose (HCe), cellulose (Ce), uronic acid and calcium. The correlation of the contents of chemical components with the percentage of pod dehiscence (%PD) was examined by principal component analysis. The first principal ingredient score was given by the formula; score = – 0.421[ADF] – 0.038[ADL] + 0.821[HCe] – 0.382[Ce] + 20.556, where, [ADF], [ADL], [HCe] and [Ce] are percentage of each component in dried pod shell. This score gave an eigenvalue of 30.2 and contribution rate of 97.1%, and the score was higher in the susceptible cultivars than in the resistant cultivars on the average. The multiple regression analysis of the relationship between %PD and the content of chemical components also showed that %PD was best predicted by the regression equation with two chemical components, [HCe] and [Ce]. Water retention capacity and cellulose crystallinity of the pod shell were less different between the susceptible and resistant cultivars. The results in this study suggested that the chemical analysis of dry pod shell may provide useful information on breeding and selection of the resistant cultivars.  相似文献   

Decomposition Dynamics and Nutrient Release Pattern from Leaf Litters of Five Commonly Occurring Homegarden Tree Species in Mizoram,India     

K. Upadhyaya  K. Vanlalhriatpuia  S. Roy 《Journal of Sustainable Forestry》2013,32(8):711-726

Leaf litter decomposition and nutrient release patterns from five common multipurpose tree species—viz., Artocarpus heterophyllus, Mangifera indica, Areca catechu, Citrus sp., and Tamarindus indica, found in homegardens of Mizoram—were evaluated using a litter bag technique. The result of the study indicates a varying pattern of decomposition and nutrient release (N&P) among the species. Citrus sp. and T. indica were found to be the most labile species with comparatively much higher decay constant and faster nutrient release. Initial nitrogen concentration, lignin content, and lignin/N ratio of foliage litter showed significantly higher (p < .01) correlation with the decay coefficient and were found to be the important determinants in the decay process. The initial slow release and immobilization of N in A. heterophyllus and M. indica leaf litter reflect their potential as a source of nitrogen storage and effective mulching material. While litter from T. indica and Citrus sp. can provide the short-term nutrient need, foliage for the other three species may supply the long-term nutrient requirement for the understory crops in such agroforestry systems.  相似文献

Vegetation-type effects on performance and meat quality of growing Engadine and Valaisian Black Nose sheep grazing alpine pastures     

H. Willems  M. KreuzerF. Leiber 《Livestock Science》2013,151(1):80-91

Lambs of two Swiss mountain breeds, Engadine Sheep (ES; n=55) and Valaisian Black Nose Sheep (VS; n=55), were fattened in 2010 and 2011 on one lowland and three alpine pastures. Groups of six to seven lambs per breed were allocated to pastures of a size allowing ad libitum intake on the following four vegetation types: (i) species-poor and nutrient-rich lowland (400 m a.s.l.) ryegrass–clover ley on flat terrain (‘lowland-rich’); (ii) alpine, species-rich and nutrient-rich vegetation type on a flat terrain (1950 m; ‘alpine-rich’); (iii) alpine, species-rich vegetation type, moderate in nutrients on steep terrain (2150 m; ‘alpine-moderate’); and (iv) alpine, species-rich and nutrient-poor vegetation type on steep terrain (2150 m; ‘alpine-poor’). Lambs were slaughtered after 9 weeks of grazing in a commercial slaughterhouse. Carcasses were subjected to the Swiss CH-TAX classification grid. Meat quality was analysed on the Musculus longissimus dorsi (LD) in the segment of Musculus longissimus lumborum. Forage quality varied among vegetation types as anticipated. Across all sites, ES were superior (P<0.001) to VS in dressing percentage (43.9 vs. 38.4), carcass weight (18.4 vs. 16.4 kg), meat conformation and fat cover scores, even though daily gains had been lower (105 vs. 122 g/d; P<0.05). Meat of ES contained more dry matter, protein, total ash (P<0.001) and fat (P<0.05). Their meat was darker and more intensive red, had lower cooking losses (23.0 vs. 25.1%) but was less tender (65.6 vs. 58.1 N) compared to VS (P<0.001). Vegetation types offering good quality forage (lowland-rich and alpine-rich) enhanced average daily gains, dressing percentage, meat conformation and fat cover scores (mostly P<0.05 against alpine-moderate and -poor). Similarly, a higher vegetation quality promoted a higher intramuscular fat and lower cooking losses. Meat from lowland-rich was darkest and had the lowest shear force (P<0.05). Almost no breed×site interactions occurred in growth performance as well as carcass and meat quality. It was therefore concluded that both breeds are similarly well adapted to the extensive pasture production system in alpine regions. Still, ES seem to be the more efficient one of the two sheep breeds. The results also indicate that growth performance and meat quality clearly vary between vegetation types in animals grazing alpine pastures.  相似文献

研究添加木质素和生物炭对土壤氮、磷养分及水分损失的影响,降低土壤改良剂使用成本,增加造纸黑液中木质素的利用途径,促进木质素在土壤改良中的应用。试验选取生物炭改良剂与木质素作为对比,通过土柱淋溶和静态吸收法,研究不同添加量(质量分数为0,1%,2%,4%)的木质素和生物炭对土壤氮磷养分、水分、脲酶活性以及pH的影响。土壤中添加木质素和生物炭均能减缓pH变化程度;抑制土壤脲酶的活性,且在添加氮肥后的1～20天抑制效果明显,其抑制效果与添加量呈正相关。添加量为1%,2%,4%的木质素和生物炭与对照组相比,铵态氮挥发量分别显著减少8.29%,14.29%,14.86%和3.79%,11.65%,15.26%;全氮淋溶量分别显著减少32.37%,37.70%,42.49%和25.43%,30.70%,39.54%;全磷淋溶量分别显著减少23.68%,40.48%,48.12%和6.97%,22.88%,35.30%;水分淋溶量分别显著减少7.71%,15.82%,9.29%和9.91%,15.00%,16.06%。在本试验中,木质素、生物炭质量分数分别为2%和4%时对降低土壤氮、磷养分和水分损失的效果最佳。因此,可以说明木质素和生物炭在水肥保持上的效果相近,在一定程度上可以替代生物炭改良剂在土壤中的应用。  相似文献   

Using vibrational molecular spectroscopy to detect moist heating induced carbohydrates structure changes in cool-climate adapted barley grain     

《Journal of Cereal Science》2020

There is limited research to study how moist heating affects internal structure of barley grain on a molecular basis. The objectives of this study were to use vibrational molecular spectroscopy: 1) to determine the moist heating induced changes of barley carbohydrate (CHO) structure on a molecular basis, 2) to study the effects of moist heating on CHO chemical profiles, Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS) subfractions, in situ rumen degradation, and predicted intestinal carbohydrate supply of barley grain; and 3) to reveal the association between molecular structure spectral features and CHO related metabolic characteristics. Barley samples (CDC cowboy) were collected from Kernen Crop Research Farm (Saskatoon, Canada) during two consecutive years. Half of each sample was kept as raw barley and the other half underwent moist heating (autoclaving at 120 °C for 60 min). The molecular spectroscopy (attenuated total reflectance-fourier transform infrared, ATR-FTIR) was used to detect the barley CHO related molecular structure spectral features. Moist heating did not affect carbohydrate related chemical profiles and CNCPS subfractions but it decreased rumen degradable carbohydrate. Rumen undegradable and intestinal digestion of CHO subfractions were not affected by moist heating. The advanced vibrational molecular spectroscopy can be used to detect carbohydrate molecular spectral features. Nutrient utilization prediction using molecular spectral characteristics is warranted and further investigation is encouraged.  相似文献   

Analysis of the Phenylpropanoid Enzyme Activities and Products in the Soft- and Hard-Seeded Pomegranate Genotypes During Fruit Development     

Abdolkarim Zarei  Zabihollah Zamani  Reza Fattahi  Alireza Salami  Amir Mousavi 《International Journal of Fruit Science》2016,16(3):242-258

To find out more about the biochemical aspects of seed-softness trait in pomegranate (Punica granatum L.), some of the phenylpropanoid pathway enzymes as well as their products were evaluated in the various soft- and hard-seeded genotypes during fruit development. Results showed that peroxidase (POD) activity decreased in all studied genotypes during fruit growth, while increasing at the last stages only in the hard-seeded genotypes. Although laccase (LAC) activity did not show high differences during fruit ripening and in different genotypes, but its general trend was increasing. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity decreased during the fruit development and approximately diminished for the hard-seeded genotypes. All genotypes had lignin components in their seeds and amount of lignin increased during the growth season. Total phenolic decreased drastically and antioxidant capacity increased gradually showing an opposite trend and probable competitive effect for the same substrate during fruit development. Considerable differences that were observed in the POD activity at the last sampling stage, and higher activity that was observed in POD than LAC, may indicate that POD is more important for polymerization of lignin in the pomegranate seed and this enzyme might have some role in the development of seed softness trait in pomegranate. Also, this is the first report about lignin detection in the seeds of soft-seeded pomegranate genotypes, and represents a different mechanism (such as monolignol conformation in the final polymer) from lignin content for development of the soft-seeded pomegranate genotype.  相似文献
