In this work, we transferred the Tamarix androssowii LEA gene into hybrids of Populus davidiana xp. bolleana. We compared relative rates of height growth, chlorophyll fluo- rescence kinetic parameters, and leaf Na＋ levels of six TaLEA-containing lines with non-transferred plants （NT）, all grown under 0.8% NaC1 stress condition. Survival percentages of transgenic lines were all higher than for NT controls after rehydration and the sur- vival percentage of SL2 was five-fold higher than for NT controls. Seed- ling height increased 48.7% in SL2 （from the onset of induced stress to the end of the growing season）, 31% more than for the NT controls. Chlorophyll fluorescence kinetic parameters showed a marked increase in photosynthetic capacity in SL2 and SL5. Na＋ levels in young leaves of transgenic lines were lower than in control NT leaves, but higher in yel- low and withered leaves, indicating improved salt tolerance in transgenic lines.展开更多

At the same time, the factors that influenced the vitrification of the plant as well as de-vitrification method were also studied by changing medium’s component, which was to provide useful information for commercial propagation of good hybrid clones of aspen. The results were as follows: 1)The ABA and IAA contents in the vitrificated plants were higher than those in the non-vitrificated plants obviously, and the GA content was little lower than that of the non-vitrificated plants. Therefore, the higher IAA or ABA content in the vitrificated plants was possibly the main reason for the vitrification of the plant.2)The ratios of endogenous plant hormones such as ABA/GA and IAA/GA in the vitrificated plants of hybrid aspen by tissue culture were higher than those in the non-vitrificated plants, which indicated that the equilibrium relationship among different endogenous hormones in vitrificated plants was deviated from the normal, then possibly resulting in the vitrification of the plant.展开更多
