The results showed that net photosynthesis rate (NPR), transpiration rate (TR) and stomatal conductance (Sc) of seedlings of the three species decreased with the decease of soil moisture content, and Amur maple seedlings had the greatest change in those physiological indices, followed by Ussurian pear, David peach. Amur maple and Ussurian pear seedlings also presented a decrease tendency in water use efficiency (WUE) under lower soil moisture content, whereas this was reversed for David peach. Under water stress the biomass allocation to seedling root had a significant increase for all the experimental species. As to root/shoot ratio, Amur maple seedlings had the biggest increase, while David peach had the smallest increase. The leaf plasticity of Amur maple seedlings was greater, the leaf size and total leaf area decreased significantly as the stress was intensified. No significant change of leaf size and total leaf area was found in seedlings of Ussurian pear and David peach. It was concluded that Amur maple was more tolerant to soil moisture stress in comparison with David peach and Ussurian pear.展开更多

Pyrus ussuriensis Maxim is used as a starting material to clone the full-length cDNA of NPR1（nonexpressor of pathogenesis- related genes 1） which is a key regulator in SA （salicylic acid）-mediated systemic acquired resistance （SAR） by homologous cloning and RACE techniques. The length of the cDNA sequence was 1 767 bp, the ORF was 1 761 bp, it coded 586 amino acids, pi=5.58, the relative molecular weight was 65.009 ku, contained 19 kinds of amino acids, and had full BTB/POZ and ANK domains. Compared the homology of NPR1 gene in GenBank database, the homology with Pyrus pyrifolia, Arabidopsis thaliana, Nicotiana tabacum, Lycopersicon esculentum, Oryza sativa, Helianthus annuus were 98%, 62%, 68%, 65%, 57%, 63%. The homology offunctional area were 99%, 78%, 82%, 79%, 74%, 77%. This NPR1 gene was considered as homologic gene of Pyrus ussuriensis Maxim and named PumNPR1.展开更多
