Stage Sensitivity of Mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) to an Elevated Level of Carbon Dioxide     

M. Das  P. H. Zaidi  M. Pal  & U. K. Sengupta 《Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science》2002,188(4):219-224

An experiment was undertaken using open‐top chambers to study the effect of CO₂ enrichment on crop growth and to assess the variation related to the time of CO₂ exposure. In general, enriched CO₂ conditions (600 ± 50 p.p.m.) in the chamber positively affected the growth and development of mungbean (Vigna radiata), a short‐duration (60–65 days) summer pulse crop. However, there was significant variability in the effect of the crop stage/time of CO₂ exposure. It was observed that high CO₂ exposure at an early growth stage [0–20 days after germination (DAG)] had a larger effect than that at a later growth stage (21–40 DAG). The experiment also provided a means of assessing the short‐ and long‐term effects of elevated CO₂ on the carbon exchange rate at both stages of exposure. The study revealed that the sensitivity of plants to high CO₂ was more pronounced with respect to net photosynthetic rate. The overall photosynthetic activity gave greater growth and development of plants under high CO₂.  相似文献

Summary

Micropropagation of Darjeeling orange (Darjeeling mandarin) was done by shoot-tip grafting on the local rootstocks rough lemon, sour orange and Rangpur lime. Seedlings of these plants were raised in MS medium in standard conditions of temperature, light duration and plant age. Microbuds (0.2 mm long), aseptically excised from the scion, were grafted onto the decapitated rootstock seedlings. The micrografts in culture medium were grown under standard lighting. Rootstock seedlings showed optimum growth at 25–30°C. Optimum growth of the micrografts resulted from treatment in complete darkness for 4 d after grafting followed by exposure to 750 W for 16 h d^?1 for 15 d and 1500–2000 W for 16 h d^?1 for 39 d. The success of micrografting depended on the age of the rootstock seedling which was 21 d, 14 d and 14 d for sour orange, rough lemon and Rangpur lime respectively. The micrografts were then double grafted to the two year old rootstocks seedlings of the respective species and the age of the micrografts for the successful double grafts was also standardized. The survival rate was high with 40 d, 45 d and 45 d micrografts on sour orange, rough lemon and Rangpur lime respectively. The double-grafts were then indexed for tristeza virus and greening disease after six months’ growth in an insect-proof screenhouse and found to be free from these graft transmissible diseases.  相似文献

Landscape characteristics of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Rhizophora mangle</Emphasis> forests and propagule deposition in coastal environments of Florida (USA)   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Field dispersal studies are seldom conducted at regional scales even though reliable information on mid-range dispersal distance is essential for models of colonization. The purpose of this study was to examine the potential distance of dispersal of Rhizophora mangle propagules by comparing deposition density with landscape characteristics of mangrove forests. Propagule density was estimated at various distances to mangrove sources (R. mangle) on beaches in southwestern Florida in both high-and low-energy environments, either facing open gulf waters vs. sheltered, respectively. Remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems were used to identify source forests and to determine their landscape characteristics (forest size and distance to deposition area) for the regression analyses. Our results indicated that increasing density of propagules stranded on beaches was related negatively to the distance of the deposition sites from the nearest stands of R. mangle and that deposition was greatly diminished 2 km or more from the source. Measures of fragmentation such as the area of the R. mangle forests were related to propagule deposition but only in low-energy environments. Our results suggest that geographic models involving the colonization of coastal mangrove systems should include dispersal dynamics at mid-range scales, i.e., for our purposes here, beyond the local scale of the forest and up to 5 km distant. Studies of mangrove propagule deposition at various spatial scales are key to understanding regeneration limitations in natural gaps and restoration areas. Therefore, our study of mid-range propagule dispersal has broad application to plant ecology, restoration, and modeling.  相似文献   

Mesoporous silicates prepared using preorganized templates in supercritical fluids     

Pai RA  Humayun R  Schulberg MT  Sengupta A  Sun JN  Watkins JJ 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》2004,303(5657):507-510

Well-ordered mesoporous silicate films were prepared by infusion and selective condensation of silicon alkoxides within microphase-separated block copolymer templates dilated with supercritical carbon dioxide. Confinement of metal oxide deposition to specific subdomains of the preorganized template yields high-fidelity, three-dimensional replication of the copolymer morphology, enabling the preparation of structures with multiscale order in a process that closely resembles biomineralization. Ordered mesoporous silicate films were synthesized with dielectric constants as low as 1.8 and excellent mechanical properties. The films survive the chemical-mechanical polishing step required for device manufacturing.  相似文献

Lateral phase separation in adsorbed binary protein films at the air-water interface.     

T Sengupta  S Damodaran 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2001,49(6):3087-3091

Lateral phase separation in two-dimensional mixed films of soy 11S/beta-casein, acidic subunits of soy 11 (AS11S)/beta-casein, and alpha-lactalbumin/beta-casein adsorbed at the air-water interface has been studied using an epifluorescence microscopy method. No distinct lateral phase separation was observed in the mixed protein films when they were examined after 24 h of adsorption from the bulk phase. However, when the soy 11S/beta-casein and AS11S/beta-casein films were aged at the air-water interface for 96 h, phase-separated regions of the constituent proteins were evident, indicating that the phase separation process was kinetically limited by a viscosity barrier against lateral diffusion. In these films, beta-casein always formed the continuous phase and the other globular protein the dispersed phase. The morphology of the dispersed patches was affected by the protein composition in the film. In contrast with soy 11S/beta-casein and AS11S/beta-casein films, no lateral phase separation was observed in the alpha-lactalbumin/beta-casein film at both low and high concentration ratios in the film. The results of these studies proved that proteins in adsorbed binary films exhibit limited miscibility, and the deviation of competitive adsorption behavior of proteins at the air-water interface from that predicted by the ideal Langmuir model (Razumovsky, L.; Damodaran, S. J. Agric. Food Chem. 2001, 49, 3080-3086) is in fact due to thermodynamic incompatibility of mixing of the proteins in the binary film. It is hypothesized that phase separation in adsorbed mixed protein films at the air-water and possibly oil-water interfaces of foams and emulsions might be a source of instability in these dispersed systems.  相似文献   

Communication through a diffusive medium: coherence and capacity     

Moustakas AL  Baranger HU  Balents L  Sengupta AM  Simon SH 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》2000,287(5451):287-290

Coherent wave propagation in disordered media gives rise to many fascinating phenomena as diverse as universal conductance fluctuations in mesoscopic metals and speckle patterns in light scattering. Here, the theory of electromagnetic wave propagation in diffusive media is combined with information theory to show how interference affects the information transmission rate between antenna arrays. Nontrivial dependencies of the information capacity on the nature of the antenna arrays are found, such as the dimensionality of the arrays and their direction with respect to the local scattering medium. This approach provides a physical picture for understanding the importance of scattering in the transfer of information through wireless communications.  相似文献   

Standing biomass and carbon storage of above-ground structures in dominant mangrove trees in the Sundarbans   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Abhijit MitraKasturi Sengupta  Kakoli Banerjee 《Forest Ecology and Management》2011,261(7):1325-1335

We evaluated carbon stocks in the above-ground biomass (AGB) of three dominant mangrove species (Sonneratia apetala, Avicennia alba and Excoecaria agallocha) in the Indian Sundarbans. We examined whether these carbon stocks vary with spatial locations (western region vs. central region) and with seasons (pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon). Among the three studied species, S. apetala showed the maximum above-ground carbon storage (t ha⁻¹) followed by A. alba (t ha⁻¹) and E. agallocha (t ha⁻¹). The above-ground biomass (AGB) varied significantly with spatial locations (p < 0.05) but not with seasons (p < 0.05). The variation may be attributed to different environmental conditions to which these areas are exposed to such as higher siltation and salinity in central region compared to western region. The relatively higher salinity in central region caused subsequent lowering of biomass and stored carbon of the selected species.  相似文献
