The effects of Ca^(2+) concentrations on the accumulation of mineral elements in the bark,leaf and root of Pteroceltis tatarinowii were studied under controlled conditions. The types ofHoagland nutrient solution with three Ca^(2+) concentrations levels (200, 400 and 600 μg·g^(-1))and a control (without Ca^(2+)) were designed to culture Pteroceltis tatarinowii. After 6 months,contents of seven mineral elements including Ca, K, Mg, Mn, Zn, Cu and Na in the root, leaf and barkwere analyzed. The results indicated that Ca accumulations content in the root, leaf and bark hadpositively relation with Ca^(2+) concentrations (200, 400, 600 μg · g^(-1)), and the order of theCa content in the three components was root>leaf>bark. Ca content in the root treated with 600 μg·g^(-1) Ca^(2+) concentrations was 5.5 times as high as that of the control, and about 1.4 times ashigh as that of the root treated in 200 and 400 μg/g Ca^(2+) concentrations respectively. On thecontrary, K and Mg contents in the root, leaf and bark were negatively related to Ca^(2+)concentrations, especially in the bark, and their accumulation trend followed the order ofleaf>root>bark. K content in the bark treated with 600 μg ·g^(-1) Ca^(2+) concentrations was 39.3%of that of the control, and was 79.0% and 91.8% of that of the bark treated with 200 μg ·g^(-1)and 400 μg ·g^(-1) Ca^(2+) concentrations respectively; Mg content in the bark treated with 600μg ·g^(-1) Ca^(2+) concentrations was 23.4% of that of the control, and was 27.1% and 35.4% ofthat of the bark treated with 200 and 400 μg·g^(-1) Ca^(2+) concentrations respectively. Comparedwith the control, the general tendency of Mn, Zn and Cu content decreased with increasing of Ca^(2+)concentrations and their contents were in the order: root>leaf>bark. Based on the results of thisstudy, the experiment has been useful for providing academic bases in improving the bark quality ofPteroceltis tatarinowii on non-limestone soil.展开更多

Study demonstrated that the bidirectional promoter of CLCuV had activity in Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Smith et Townsend) Conn. This is the first report for the activity of the bidirectional promoter of geminivirus in A. tumefaciens. Results showed that the activity of the complementary sense promoter was stronger than that of virion sense promoter, and was detected 2-fold higher than that of CaMV 35S promoter in A. tumefaciens. Moreover, the promoter 5' deletion analysis indicated that the mean GUS activity driven by a 287 nucleotides complementary sense promoter fragment (from-287 to the translation initiation site) is 4 times higher than that driven by the whole complementary sense promoter in A. tumefaciens. This result suggested that there might exist negative regulatory elements in this deleted fragment. The function of other cis-elements included in CLCuV complementary sense promoter was also discussed in this paper.展开更多

Methods To measure the aqueous solubility and dissolution rates of daidzein in three diffe rent states (within solid dispersions, physical mixtures and as a pure drug) and investigate drug-polymer interactions in the solid state using X-ray powder d iffraction and fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Results The negative values of the Gibbs free energy and enthalpy of transfer explaine d the spontaneous transfer of daidzein from phosphate buffer solution (PBS) to a solution of PVP in PBS. X-ray powder diffraction patterns showed that the drug was in the amorphous state (ratio of the drug ∶ PVP<1∶5) when dispers ed i n PVP K30. The infrared spectra indicated there exist interactions between the O H of daidzein and the C=O of PVP K30.

The results show that the pH values of rhizosphere soil for all the plant ations except the pure walnut stand, which was slightly higher, were lower than those of bulk soils, while the organic matter contents in the rhizosphere soil f or all the plantations except the mixed plantation, which was slightly lower, we re higher than that in bulk soil. There exists a relative nitrogen accumulation in the rhizosphere and the extent to which the nitrogen accumulates is closely r elated to tree species and mixed pattern. As far as the total P and K contents a re considered, there exists a deficient tendency in rhizosphere in comparison wi th bulk soil. The element N, P and K are all mobilized in the rhizosphere of the pure or mixed plantation, characterized by the higher contents of the available N, P and K in the rhizosphere. The available N content in the rhizosphere of th e larch in mixed plantation was obviously higher than that of its pure plantatio n, whereas the available P and K contents in the rhizosphere of walnut in the mi xed plantation, on the other hand, were significantly higher than those of its p ure plantation.展开更多

The soil was amended with two different forms of nitrogen fertilizers: NO3- as Ca(NO3)2, NH4+ as NH4Cl at the concentrations of 50, 100, 200 and 400 mgkg-1 respectively. The experiment was carried out with 2-yr-old Pinus koraiensis seedlings in pot. The pH change of rhizosphere soil and the contents of available Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn in soil and leaves were analyzed. The result indicated that the addition of NH4--N decreased the rhizosphere pH value, while the addition of NO3--N increased the rhizosphere pH value in contrast with the control treatment. The direction and extent of the pH change mainly depended on N source and its concentrations applied. The rhizosphere pH change had a remarkable influence on the availability of the micronutrients in the rhizosphere, and thereafter affected the nutrient uptake by the seedlings. The contents of available mineral nutrients had a negative correlation with the pH value in the rhizosphere soil. The contents of available mineral nutrients in leaves were positively correlated to the levels of the available nutrients in the rhizosphere soils.展开更多

Soil samples collected in each season were excavated at three sampling points (0.30 m, 0.57 m and 1.00 m distance from the base of each tree) from nine trees of the agroforestry and forestry plots. Result showed that the density of live fine root had significant differences in between seasons and treatments (P 〈 0.001). The mean weight density of live fine root over the four seasons in agroforestry and forestry was 0.27±0.01 kg·m^-3 and 0.54±0.03 kg·m^-3, respectively. Weight density of dead root in each system remained constant throughout the year. The mean weight density of dead root was also significantly different (P 〈 0.01) between forestry and agroforestry systems. Weight density of live and dead root nodule was both constant throughout the year and between the different sampling distances. The mean weight densities of live and dead root nodule over the four seasons were 0.09±0.03 kg·m^-3 and 0.05±0.03 kg·m^-3 in agroforestry and 0.08±0.02 kg·m^-3 and 0.03±0.01 kg·m^-3 in the forestry plots, respectively.展开更多

By using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the genes related to N nutrition, including ammonium transporters (AMTs) and ammonium assimilatory enzymes (GS and GOGAT), were transcriptionally analyzed in rice plants grown in the absence and presence of NO4^- in the NH4^+-containing medium. The results showed that NH4^+ uptake by rice was enhanced by the NO3^- supply to the medium. At the same time and in parallel, the amount of transcripts of seven genes (OsAMT1;1, OsAMT1;2, OsAMT4;1, OsGLNP, OsGLU1, OsGLT1, and OsGLTP) was increased in rice roots, but the expression of two genes (OsGLN1;1 and OsGLN1;P) was decreased and that of OsAMT1;3 remained without change. Up- or downregulation of these genes involved in NH4^+ uptake and assimilation correlated with the increase in NH4^+ uptake in the presence of NO3^- in rice roots.展开更多

The depletion and accumulation rates of mineral nutrients differed in degree with K application rate, soil type, and tobacco variety. The content of a vailable K in both rhizosphere and bulk soil and K concentration in tobacco leaf increased significantly, and the available P in rhizosphere dropped with more K applicatin. The DTPA-Fe content of red soil much lower in pH was higher than that of calcareous soil in bulk soil. But the DTPA-Fe content of calcareous soil was much higher than that of red soil in rhizosphere, which was considered perhaps to be mainly related to releasing of Fe phytosiderophore. Nitrate could increase depletion of available K in rhizosphere and also soil pH in comparison with ammonium.展开更多

文摘The study on the behaviourof potassium, phosphate and trace elements, Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn, in the rhizosphere of different varieties of flue-cured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) with high and low potassium application rate with rhizobag technique showed that soil available K, soil available P, and slow available K was in depletion status, whereas DTPA extractable Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu accumulated obviously in rhizosphere. The depletion and accumulation rates of mineral nutrients differed in degree with K application rate, soil type, and tobacco variety. The content of a vailable K in both rhizosphere and bulk soil and K concentration in tobacco leaf increased significantly, and the available P in rhizosphere dropped with more K applicatin. The DTPA-Fe content of red soil much lower in pH was higher than that of calcareous soil in bulk soil. But the DTPA-Fe content of calcareous soil was much higher than that of red soil in rhizosphere, which was considered perhaps to be mainly related to releasing of Fe phytosiderophore. Nitrate could increase depletion of available K in rhizosphere and also soil pH in comparison with ammonium.
