Gaud.) were grown in dark rooms under the photoperiods of 9.5h, 11h or 12.5h d-1 in spring and summer seasons (dif-ferent environmental temperatures) to test their developmental response to photoperiod and temperature. The MSLs showed little difference in vegetative growth duration, but different de-velopment rates in the reproductive growth stage under the tested conditions. Higher tem-perature (grown in summer) mainly accelerated vegetative growth, while the short photoperiod treatment accelerated the reproductive growth of the MSLs. Moreover, the short photoperiod treatment combined with higher temperature obviously accelerated both the vegetative and reproductive growth of the MSLs. But the effect of higher temperature decreased, or even dis-appeared along with the photoperiod elongation. The MSLs were divided into 5 photo-temperature response types, based on the flower budding acceleration of short pho-toperiod and the approximate temperature re-sponse index.展开更多

Effects of two ethylene inhibitors on sex expression in ramie were investigated. The ethylene release rate of stem apex was higher in the second crop or female ramie than that in the third crop or hermaphrodite ramie during growth. Although ethylene release rates between lower nodes and higher nodes were little different, it was lower in the middle nodes in hermaphrodite ramie. The ethylene release rates were higher in the higher nodes of female ramie at the second crop. At the third crop, the ethylene release rates were higher in lower nodes, lower in middle nodes and then highest in higher nodes in female ramie. However, an opposite ethylene release pattern was observed in hermaphrodite ramie. The ethylene release rate was higher in female flower than male flower and mixed inflorescence in hermaphrodite ramie. The male flower could be distinctly induced by AVG （aminooethoxyvinylglycine）. The node of the first male flower, percentage of female flowers and ratio of female flowers to male in ramie were evidently depressed by AVG in contrast to water. The percentage of mixed male and female flowers was also increased and the percentage of female flower decreased by spraying AgNO3. There was a close relationship between sexual differentiation and ethylene release rate in ramie. The female ramie could be induced by high ethylene release rate. The female flower could be inhibited by AVG and AgNO3. AVG at a concentration of 300 mg L^-1 was most effective.展开更多

Morphologic differences between different ploidy plants were analyzed. Average bark area percentages in ramie stem transection of haploids, tetraploids, diploids and triploids were 28. 91, 27. 05, 26. 97 and 24.77% respectively. Average percentages of fiber layer area of diploids, haploids, tetraploids and triploids were 16.80, 16. 58, 15.52 and 13.78% respectively. Average fiber cell diameter and cell wall thickness were increased along with the increase of the ploidy of the plants. Average fiber length of diploids, triploids and haploids were 8. 49, 7. 96 and 6. 93 cm respectively. Average L/B (length/breadth) of diploids, triploids and haploids were 2 470. 7, 2 390. 6 and 1 616.3 respectively. Average breadths of fiber of haploids, diploids and triploids were 29. 30, 33. 87 and 49. 20μm respectively. However, there were relatively large variations in the above characteristics among the ramie materials of the same ploidy levels. Field performance of different ploidy plants was also investigated. As the chromosome ploidy increasing, there was a tendency of declining in shoot number per plant and increasing in stem diameter. Average shoots per plant of haploids, diploids, triploids and tetraploids were 5.83, 5.30, 3.77 and 3. 65 whereas their average stem diameters were 0.66, 0. 67, 0. 74 and 0. 76 cm respectively. Triploids were the tallest, while haploids were the shortest. Triploids had strong growth vigour, diploids and tetraploids had moderate growth vigour, while haploids appeared to be lack of growth vigour. Cold stress tolerance of tetraploids were the strongest, diploid had the moderate tolerance, while haploids and triploids were the least tolerant to cold stress. Both haploids and triploids were sterile.展开更多
