[Method] The Elaeagnus angustifolia L. from Ningxia Province were sown in nursery and practice base of Forestry College in Beihua University to observe their phenophase, growth state, stress resistance and study the relations between survival rate and different cutting medium, grafting methods. [Result] Elaeagnus angustifolia L. could adapt to climate condition in Jilin area and grow well . Among 3 cold-proof measures, there was no freezing injury by soil burial method, although there was 2.8% and 3.9% mortality by covering grassy marshland and winding straw, the cold injury degree was light, so they could go through winter normally. Meanwhile, Elaeagnus angustifolia L. had good saline-alkali tolerance, drought resistance and flood resistance. The successful cutting and graft of Elaeagnus angustifolia L. provided a condition for planting in large-scale and knew the rooting rate of different cutting medium. [Conclusion] Elaeagnus angustifolia L. could be introduced to plant in West Jilin Province.展开更多

Materials were selected from Linze County, Gansu Province （material A） and Qitai County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region （material B） of China. Results show that lamina thickness was higher in material A, with one layer of epidermal cells in both adaxial and abaxial surfaces, and epidermal cell radial length was significantly longer in the adaxial surface. E. angustifolia leaves are typically bifacial, with a higher ratio of palisade to spongy tissue in material A. The thickness of trichome layer of epidermis was thicker in material A. In contrast, cell wall and cuticular wax of the epidermal cells were thinner in material A than in material B. Chloroplast ultrastructure was different with the approximate spherical chloroplast containing numerous starch grains and osmiophilic granules in ma- terial A, while only the spindly chloroplast contained starch grains in material B. Multiple layers of peltate or stel- late-peltate trichomes occupied both leaf surfaces in material A and the abaxial surface in material B, while the adaxial surface of material B contained few trichomes. Stomata were not observed on the leaf surfaces in materials A and B by SEM because of trichome obstruction. Our results indicate that the leaf structure of E. angustifolia is closely correlated with environmental factors, and the combination of leaf epidermal micromorphology and mesophyll structure afford re- sistance to environmental stress.展开更多
