[Method] Root system soil sample and plow pan sample were collected from the main muskmelon planting area in Hetao irrigation area, so as to analyze the contents of heavy metal elements. By comparing with the Soft Environmental Quality Standard （GB15618-1995）, the research explored whether the heavy metal elements in root system met the national standard. [Result] Heavy metal elements in root system soil had the maximum content in recession area of Yellow River, followed by saline soils. The content of heavy metal elements in chestnut-brown soil was the minimum. Harmful elements As, Cd, Hg, F and Pb in anthropogenic-alluvial soil of Hetao irrigation area showed enrichment characteristics in earth surface, with zonality vertically. Trace elements Cu and Zn, and beneficial elements P, K20, CaO, MgO and Se showed depletion. In anthropogenic-aUuvial soil of Ulansuhai of the Yellow River, harmful elements As and Cd showed significant enrichment in root system soil, while other elements showed depletion or was close to background value. In soil of plow pan, both beneficial component and harmful component showed enrichment characteristics. [Conclusion] Hetao irrigation area has the ideal geochemical conditions and heavy metal elements in muskmelon area meet the national standards.展开更多

[Method] The introduced Cupressus lusitanica seedlings at different ages were re- searched to explore biomass （ground or underground） morphological shape, surface area and volume of a root system. [Result] As age grew, plant height and ground diameter increased significantly, varying dramatically upon seed provenance, and root-canopy ratio, root length, surface area and volume of seedlings were increas- ing. Specifically, seedlings at two-year-old and three-year-old kept a stable growth; moderate and big roots took higher proportions in a root system; underground parts for a plant required more photosynthetic products; root systems of young seedlings grew to moderate and big roots. [Conclusion] Ground biomass is of correlation with root system indices and the morphological characteristics of root systems are close to biomass. The accumulation capacity of biomass differed for seedlings from differ- ent provenances, even in the same environment and at the same time.展开更多

Field and greenhouse experiments were carried out to study N accumulation, root dry weights, total root lengths, root surface areas, and root bleeding rates of two rice cultivars, Elio with low N-use efficiency and Nanguang with high N-use efficiency. Low （1 mmol N L^-1） and high （5 mmol N L^-1） N applications were established in the greenhouse experiment, and the N rates were 0, 120, and 240 kg ha^-1 in the field experiments at Jiangning and Jiangpu farms, Nanjing, China. The results showed that the N accumulation, root dry weight, total root length, and root surface area increased with an increase in N application. At the heading stage, N accumulation in the shoots and roots of Nanguang was greater than that of Elio in the field experiments and that of Elio at 5 mmol N L^-1 in the greenhouse experiment. After the heading stage, N accumulation was higher for Nanguang at both 1 and 5 mmol N L^-1 in the greenhouse experiment. The total root length and root surface area were significantly different between the two cultivars. Over the range of the fertilizer application rates, the root lengths of Nanguang at Jiangning Farm were 49%-6170 greater at booting and 26%-39% greater at heading than those of Elio, and at Jiangpu Farm they were 22%-42% and 26%-38% greater, respectively. Nanguang had a greater root bleeding rate than Elio. It was concluded that the N-use efficiency of the two rice cultivars studied depended to a great extent on the root morphological parameters and root physiological characteristics at different growth stages.展开更多
