Effects of Phosphate and Lime Application on Growth of Trifolium repens,Chamaecrista rotundifolia and Macroptilium atropurpureum in Red Soils

[Objective] The aim was to research effects of P fertilizer and lime on growth of Trrifolium repens, Chamaecrista rotundifolia and Macroptilium atropur- pureum, to provide references for cultivation of the three plants. [Method] Pot experiments were conducted with Trrifolium repens, Charnaecrista rotundifolia and Macroptilium atropurpureum in 2010 in order to research effects of lime and P fer-tilizer mixture on growth of the plants in southern hilly acidic red soils. [Result] With lime amount fixed, application of P fertilizer would enhance plant height, total tiller number and dry matter. When P fertilizer was not applied, however, plant height of the three plants achieved the peak by lime at 1.4 g/kg which proved best for improvement of acidity of red soils. With P fertilizer at 200 mg/kg was applied, biomass of Trifolium repens and Macroptilium atropurpureum achieved the highest by lime at 2.1 g/kg, but total biomass of Chamaecrista rotundifolia was the highest by lime at 1.4 g/kg. [Conclusion] The research provides references for planting and production of Trifolium repens, Chamaecrista rotundifolia and Macroptilium atropur-pureum in southern hilly regions.

Response of Chlorophyll Fluorescence Characteristic of Trifolium repens L. to Water Stress

[Objective] The aim was to study response of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters in Trifolium repens L.leaves to water stress from perspective of physiology.[Method] With T.repens cultivar ＂Haifa＂ as tested material,three soil water content levels were set to culture plants,including 75% （no stress,CK）,50% （moderate stress,LD） and 25% （severe stress,HD）,the effects of water stress on chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were determined.[Result] The results showed that the chlorophyll fluorescence parameters changed a little when the relative soil moisture content was 75% and 50%,while the chlorophyll fluorescence parameters such as conversion efficiency of primary light energy （Fv/Fm） of PS Ⅱ,the photochemical quenching coefficient （qP） and the quantum yield of PS Ⅱ electron transport （φPS Ⅱ） decreased respectively when the relative soil moisture content was 25%.[Conclusion] When T.repens in severe drought conditions,the physiological functions were damaged,showing symptoms of drought injury.

Selection,Identification and Growth Promotion of Inorganic Phosphorus-dissolving Bacterial Strains in Rhizosphere of Trifolium repens

[Objective] The aim was to select and identify inorganic phosphorus-dissolving bacteria in rhizosphere of Trifolium repens,and to research related effects of growth promotion.[Method] Phosphate solubilizing bacteria in rhizosphere of Trifolium repens in Guizhou Province were separated and selected to determine its ability of phosphate solubilizing and IAA secretion,and growth promotion effect.[Result] Phosphate solubilizing bacteria were multiple and varied in rhizosphere of Trifolium repens;solubilizing quantities of phosphorus from calcium phosphate by RW2,RW6 and RW18 were 337.39,447.45 and 462.03 μg/ml;solubilizing quantity was none of linear relation with organic acid;RW2 proved the one secreted most IAA at 12.69 μg/ml,followed by RW18 at 12.34 μg/ml;the three strains were all of Leclercia sp.,but were of none pathogenicity for seedlings of Trifolium repens,instead,a kind of growth promotion was found.Detailedly,RW18 was most effective in growth promotion for Trifolium repens and plant height,root length and weight,and aboveground biomass increased by 110.98%,9.17%,46.17% and 2% respectively.Hence,RW18 is of great potential.[Conclusion] The research provides scientific references for developing phosphate solubilizing bacteria and compound inoculation and develops a novel way to relieve barren soils,save phosphorus resource,reduce environment pollution,and guarantee sustainable development of agriculture and animal husbandry.

Construction of Clonal Growth Models in Trifolium repens

The suitability of models for describing the clonal growth of Trifolium repens population was discussed. The results showed that deterministic models were inadequate for describing its clonal growth, but the diffusion models and the randomwalk models suited for the clonal growth characteristics of the population. And it was found that random-walk models were better than diffusion models for describing a population in an environment with rich natural resources, and the latter was better in a poor environment.

Changes in Florets’Vertical Direction within Inflorescence Affects Pollinator Behavior,and Fitness in Trifolium repens

interactions,many flowers are known to display their attractive qualities,such as scent emission,flower rewards and floral vertical direction,in a rhythmic fashion.However,less is known about how plants regulate the relationship between these flower traits to adapt to pollinator visiting behavior and increase reproduction success.Here we investigated the adaptive significance of the flower bending from erect to downward in Trifolium repens.We observed the flowering dynamic characteristics(changes of vertical direction of florets,flowering number,pollen grain numbers,pollen viability and stigma receptivity over time after blossom)and the factors affecting the rate of flower bending in T.repens.Then we altered the vertical direction of florets in inflorescence of different types(upright and downward),and compared the pollinator behaviors and female reproductive success.Our results showed that florets opened sequentially in inflorescence,and then bend downwards slowly after flowering.The bending speed of florets was mainly influenced by pollination,and bending angle increased with the prolongation of flowering time,while the pollen germination rate,stigma receptivity and nectar secretion has a rhythm of“lowhigh-low”during the whole period with the time going.The visiting frequency of all the four species of pollinators on upward flowers was significantly higher than that of downward flowers,and they especially prefer to visit flowers with a bending angle of 30°–60°,when the flowers was exactly of the highest flower rewards(nectar secretion and number of pollen grains),stigma receptivity and pollen germination rate.The seed set ratio and fruit set ratio of upward flowers were significantly higher than downward flowers,but significantly lower than unmanipulated flowers.Our results indicated that the T.repens could increase female and male fitness by accurate pollination.The most suitable flower angle saves pollinators’visiting energy and enables them to obtain the highest nectar rewards.This coordination between plants and pollinators maximizes the interests of them,which is a crucial factor in initiating specialized plant-pollinator relationships.

Resource Sharing by the Different Clonal White Clover Plant(Trifolium repens L.)

Resource sharing in the different parts of the clonal white clover plant (Trifolium repens L.) was investigated in this study. The results showed that the integration of water and nitrogen metabolism occured among parental, young and old branches of a plant when water passed through its stolons. Under the sufficient supply of light, water and nutrients from soil the newly developed branches showed similar capacity in taking in sufficient water and nitrogen to that of old branches. The development of the new branches did not affect the growth of the old and parental branches attached. The results also indicated that energy values in roots was significantly related with plant age, however, the energy values were various in the different parts of a plant.

Responses of two cultivars of Trifolium repens L. to ethylene diurea in relation to ambient ozone

Three ethylene diurea （EDU） concentrations （0, 150 and 300 mg/L） were used to evaluate the negative impact of ozone （O3） on two cultivars of Trifoliurn repens L. cv. Vardan and Bundel grown under natural field conditions in a suburban area of Varanasi, India. Mean O3 concentrations varied from 30.3 to 46.6 μg/L during the experimental period. Higher photosynthetic pigments and ascorhic acid concentrations were noticed in both EDU-treated cultivars over non-EDU-treated ones, but a reverse trend was found for lipid peroxidation. Growth parameters and biomass also showed increments under EDU treatment of both cultivars. The ratio of variable fluorescence to maximum fluorescence increased significantly in Vardan but not in Bundel upon EDU treatment. Results revealed that EDU concentration of 300 mg/L was more effective to combat the oxidative stress as well as protecting plants from O3 injury symptoms. The test cultivar Vardan is relatively sensitive to O3, thereby can be used as a bioindicator of O3 pollution in areas having higher O3 concentrations. Results also indicated that Bundel has more efficient antioxidant defense system than Vardan and hence was more tolerant to O3 stress.

Effects of Condensed Tannins from Quebracho Extract on the Kinetic of in vitro Gas Production on Trifofium repens, Lotus corniculatus and Lofium perenne

The aim of this work was to study the effect of condensed tannins （CT） on the kinetic of gas production in vitro, on the three main species of Azorean pasture： Trifolium repens, Lotus corniculatus and Lolium perenne, using Quebracho extract as the source of CT, and also to calculate total tannins and condensed tannins on the species studied. Lotus corniculatus, Lolium perenne and Trifolium repens were tested in vitro with the inclusion of Quebracho extract in doses of 0%, 2.5% and 5% DM. The total content in tannins was determined in the 3 species. We have found, in comparison with standard tannic acid, that tannins exist in the flower of T. repens （0.81 equivalents of tannic acid） and in L .corniculatus （1.07 equivalents of tannic acid） but not in L .perenne （0 equivalents of tannic acid）. The concentration of condensed tannins in the 3 species was： 0.34 mg/mL for T. repens; 0.83 mg/mL for L. corniculatus and 0 mg/ml for L. perenne. We verified that a significant reduction （P 〈 0.05） of gas production happened for doses of 5% of CT in comparison with the other two concentrations： 0% and 2.5% of CT. The results of this study express a reduction of the fermentation rate, which implies a reduction of gas production, so, a reduction of methane emission to the atmosphere and an increase of exploitation of the protein by ruminants.

Study on the Degradation Trend of Ryegrass-White Clover Artificial Grassland

[Objective] The study aimed to explore the degradation law and trend of artificial grassland. [Method] Taking the ryegrass （Lolium perenne） - white clover （ Trifolium repens） artificial grassland in Maiping Township, Guizhou Province as the research object, the grassland vegetation of 40 quadrate from different areas （area around the sheep shed, hilltop, hillside, flatland at the foot of the hill） were analyzed by comparing the dominance and richness index. [ Result] Degradation of different degrees appeared in various areas of this artificial grassland. To be specific, the degradation of grassland around the sheep shed was not serious for less consumption by the sheep; however, the areas on the hilltop and hillside degenerated to the grassland types of dallis grass （ Paspalum dilatatum Poir. ） -Indian lovegrass （ Eragrostis pilosa） and dallis grass - cogongrass [ Imperata cylindrica （ Linn. ） Beauv. ], respectively, and the area at the foot of the hill degenerated to the grassland type dominated by garland chrysanthetnum （ Chrysanthemum coronarium L. ） and knotgrass （ Paspalum distichum L. ）. [ Conclusion ] This study provided a basis for grassland improvement as well as the efficient and sustainable utilization of grazing-type artificial grassland in South China.

白三叶坪用价值研究

通过白三叶Trifolium repens对花灌木、观赏草坪的侵入试验,用最直观的测试方法证明了开放性三叶草观赏草坪对园林景观的破坏性是非常巨大的,可在短期内使景观草坪失去观赏价值,并最终将其“吞噬”。但时至今日,三叶草对于草坪景观的危害性还只是停留在理论层面的讨论中,在造园实践中尚未引起足够的重视,许多园林种子公司仍将三叶草作为景观草种出售,不少城市园林造景中还在建植大片的开放性三叶草草坪。针对以上问题,提出了5条对策。

影响海法白三叶生长的营养元素及磷钾施用效果

取云南省广南畜牧场原生红砂壤土,在温室采用盆栽手段对指示植物海法白三叶进行矿物营养元素筛分和磷、钾施量试验。结果表明:影响海法白三叶在红砂壤上生长的主要矿物元素是磷、钾,其次为钼。施用磷肥效果明显,并且施磷量与白三叶地上部分生物量间呈极显著的直线正相关YP=0.851+9.93X(r=0.94)。初步推断以施24kg/hm2磷、26～52kg/hm2钾为白三叶当年定植的有效施用量。

Combining Ability in Mixtures of Prairie Grass and Clovers

Our objective was to evaluate the combining ability among cultivars of forage species, commonly sown in temperate regions of Argentina using a short rotation system. Three genetically diverse cultivars of prairie brome grass (Bromus catharticus, cv Copetona, cv ?andú and cv Tango), a white clover cultivar (Trifolium repens, cv Lucero) and a red clover cultivar (T. pratense, cv Tropero) were evaluated. A randomized complete block design experiment was established in 2005. The treatments included five monocultures and ten binary mixtures. The experiment was harvested 6 times over an 18-month period. Cumulative dry matter yield (kg?ha–1) was calculated as the sum of the six individual harvests. Diallel analysis provided estimates of the general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA). Red clover in monoculture and mixtures produced the highest yields, with significant positive GCA effects (P P P P < 0.01). Given the short-term nature of this study, we must limit our inference to short-term pastures (<2 years). Under these conditions, red clover had the best combination with prairie brome grass.

为评价103份白三叶种质资源萌发期的耐铜性,筛选出耐铜性白三叶种质资源,本研究对103份白三叶种质资源进行100 mg/L Cu^2+浓度胁迫和去离子水对照的萌发试验,对白三叶种质资源的发芽势、发芽率、发芽指数等萌发指标及总根长等根系生长指标进行统计学分析。结果表明:铜胁迫对白三叶萌发及根系生长均有抑制作用,不同白三叶种质资源各指标性状差异显著(p<0.05)。结合相关性分析和主成分分析,筛选出相对发芽指数、相对总根长、相对根系平均直径以及相对根系表面积等4项指标为白三叶耐铜性评价指标。通过加权隶属函数评价和聚类分析,筛选出CF022353等69份耐铜性白三叶种质资源,为白三叶耐铜性品种选育与推广提供了丰富的种质资源。

钙和钙离子通道阻断剂对丛枝菌根真菌吸收镉的影响

本试验以三叶草(Trifolium repense L.)为宿主植物,Glomusintra radices为供试菌种,通过分室系统将外生菌丝与植物根系分隔开,并对菌丝室加以不同含量水平的Ca2+、Cd2+和Ca2+通道阻断剂(Verapamil、LaCl3)进行处理,研究在菌丝吸收过程中Cd2+与Ca2+以及Ca2+通道之间的关系.试验结果表明,高Cd2+和LaCl3处理可促进菌丝发育;高Cd2+和Verapamil、LaCl3处理不同程度地降低了菌丝对Ca2+的吸收;高Ca2+和LaCl3处理则可提高菌丝对Cd2+的吸收.根据本试验结果可以认为,Cd2+在菌丝上的跨膜转运不是通过Ca2+通道完成,而且高Ca2+水平有利于Cd2+被菌丝吸收.
