With different vadeties of japonica and indica rice as the research objects, Cd contents and Cd accumulation of different rice varieties in harvest time were discussed by pot experiment, under two treatments of no adding Cd and Cd stress. Under both the two treatments, the Cd contents in different parts of rice all ranked as root〉stem〉leaf〉husk〉grain, and Cd was manly concentrated in dce roots. Cd accumulation and distribution differed among different rice varieties, especially among grains of different rice varieties. Among the 8 rice varieties, the increase of grain Cd content of Chunyou 84 was the smallest, indicating a weaker Cd accumulation ability. At the same time, the Cd accumulation in japonica rice was higher than that in indica rice under Cd stress. Under Cd stress, the yield of indica rice decreased significantly, while that of japonica rice increased. The lowest grain Cd content of Chunyou 84 indicated significant Cd tolerance. Although its yield was affected, it can still be recommended to be promoted in the Cd-polluted region of Hunan Province, considering the Cd security.展开更多

A field experiment was conducted in the Shajiang black soil of Anhui Province with Jimai 22, Wanrnai 52 and Zhoumai 22, and the effects of early sowing (October 3), optimum sowing (October 12) and late sowing (October 30) on wheat plant N content and accumulation, pre-and post-anthesis N accumula- tion (NA) of total plant, nitrogen remobUization to grain (NR), N remobilization effi- ciency (NRE), contribution of N remobilized to grain (NRC), grain yield, N use effi- ciency (NUE) and N harvest index (NHI) of different wheat cultivar were investigat- ed. The results showed that sowing date had an impact on N content, absorption and utilization in wheat plants at various growth stages. The NA, NR and NRC of aboveground vegetative organs of wheat before anthesis were higher than those af- ter anthesis. Under the condition of late sowing, the grain N accumulation mainly depended on the N absorption by vegetative organs before anthesis. Under the conditions of optimum and early sowing, the absorbed N after anthesis accounted for a large proportion in grain N accumulation. The N uptake intensity and relative cumulative rate differed greatly among different growth stages and different-genotype wheat cultivars, and the pre-anthesis NA, pre-anthesis NR, pre-anthesis NRE, post- anthesis N assimilation amount and post-anthesis NRC showed significant differ- ences among different wheat cultivars. The grain yields of different wheat cultivars under the early and optimum sowing were all higher than those under the late sowing. The NHI and grain N accumulation were highest under the optimum sow- ing, and the latter significantly decreased with the delay of sowing dates. In con- trast, the NUE was highest under the late sowing, reaching 35.95%-41.32%. It indi- cated that under the condition of late sowing, most of the nitrogen was not ab- sorbed by wheat, but the use efficiency of the absorbed nitrogen significantly in- creased. In overall, the three high-yield wheat cultivars were all suitable for early and optimum sowing. Under the condition of late sowing, the yield of Zhoumai 22 showed the smallest differences with those under early and optimum sowing, and its NUE was significantly improved. Therefore, among the three high-yield wheat culti- vars, Zhoumai 22 was most suitable for late sowing.展开更多

Miyagawa wase) fruit from primary stage of fruit enlargement up to fruit full ripe. Change in fruit photosynthetic rate was some what related to the change in the chlorophyll content of peel. Fruit photosynthetic rate markedly declined as chlorophyll degradation occurred in the peel. Before full ripe stage of the fruit, photosynthates produced by a 14C-fed leaf were mainly distributed to juice sacs even during periods when dry matter accumulation in peel was more rapid than that in juice sacs. At the full ripe stage, peel photosynthetic rate approached zero and peel became the major sink of leaf photosynthates. Most of the peel assimilates, however, remained in situ for up to 48 h after feeding 14CO 2 to the fruit, only a small portion being transported to other parts of fruit. The percentage of fruit photosynthates exported decreased with fruit development and ripening, but the peak rate of export to juice sacs amount to as high as 12%. The sugar content and dry weights of peel and juice sacs in shaded fruit were lower than that in the control fruit. These results show that peel assimilate was mainly consumed in peel respiration and growth and thus the dependence on leaf photosynthates decreased. Part of this assimiate was used in sugar accumulation in juice sacs of fruit.展开更多

Soils in shrubs, Masson pine forest, conifer and broadleaf mixed forest, evergreen broadleaved forest and bamboo forest in the mid-subtropical region along an urban-rural gradient in Nanchang City, southern China, were analyzed for total P and P fractions using the modified Hedley P sequential fractionation method. Results show that the topsoil total P and total exactable P concentrations were significantly higher in the urban area (0.71 g·kg^-1 and 378.50 mg·kg^-1, respectively) than in the suburban (0.30 g·kg^-1 and 150.74 mg·kg^-1, respectively) and rural areas (0.31 g·kg^-1 and 147.38 mg·kg^-1, respectively) (p〈0.05). Among the five P fractions of resin-P, NaHCO3-P NaOH-P, Sonication-P and HCI-P, the relative abundance of HCl-P in urban forest soils (36%) was the highest and also significantly higher than in suburban (8%) and rural soils (6%), while NaOH-P was the dominant form in suburban (41%) and rural soils (50%). Phosphorus accumulation in the urban soils could affect the cycle of P in urban forest systems, particularly the HCl-P fraction that might rapidly enrich aquatic systems in urban areas.展开更多

Under such a high Cd concentration, the subcellular accumulation of Cd in root, stem and leaf of this plant was found to be the highest in the cell wall, less in the soluble fraction and lowest in the cell organs. The mode of subcellular distribution of Cd in the mining ecotype S. alfredii was similar to other hyper accumulators of heavy metals, in which Cd was distributed more in the aerial part of plant. The results suggest that the mining ecotype S. alfredii is a new species of Cd hyperaccumulator.展开更多
