摘要
以青藏高原高寒草甸中常见的24种菊科植物为材料,在去离子水、河沙加蒸馏水、河沙加半强度霍格兰营养液和河沙加标准霍格兰营养液四种营养基质中培养幼苗,在10d、20d和30d三个幼苗生长期研究种子重量对幼苗生长的影响,结果表明:(1)在10d、20d和30d三个不同的幼苗生长期,在不同培养基质中种子重量与幼苗重量均呈显著的正相关,但R值在去离子水中变化不大,而在其它3种培养基质中持续减少。(2)种子重量与相对生长率负相关,这种负相关性在去离子水中10d和20d生长期表现较弱,在其它3种培养基质中同一生长期的幼苗相对生长率变化不明显。(3)除在10d去离子水中种子重量与幼苗根冠比率呈显著的正相关外,其余均没有显著的相关关系。
Effects of seed weight on seedling growth were investigated in 24 common species of Compsoitae in an alpine meadow on the Tibet plateau. Seedlings were cultured in deionized water, washed sand with added distilled water, washed sand with added halfstrength Hoagland solution and washed sand with added standard Hoagland solution. Seedling growth was observed after 10 days, 20 days and 30 days. The results were as follows:(1) There was a highly significant positive correlation between log seed weight and log seedling weight with a geometrical mean regression after all three different observation periods (p<0001), regardless of culture media, that is, heavierseeded species had larger seedlings than lighterseeded species. The relation between seed weight and seedling weight remained relatively constant in deionized water and decreased continuously in the other three culture media after 10d, 20d and 30d. This is probably because the seedlings in deionized water completely depend on the seed reserve, while seedlings in other three culture media can absorb external nutrients when the seed reserve is used up.(2) There were significant negative correlations between log seed weight and log relative growth rate in all the culture media after 10d, 20d and 30d, but these correlations were only weak after 10d and 20d in deionized water. It seems that relative growth rate of any species was relatively constant, despite variations in nutrient supply, suggesting that relative growth rate may be a conservative character of a species. However, we could account neither for the weakness of the correlation between seed size and relative growth rate in deionized water after 10d and 20d, compared to 30d, nor why this was not apparent in the other three culture media.(3) There were no significant correlations between log seed weight and log root shoot ratio, except for a significant positive correlation after 10d in deionized water. So the advantage of large seeds in alpine meadows does not lie in higher root allocation in early seedling growth, as found in arid zones in other studies.
