光质、光强对入侵植物紫茎泽兰种子萌发及幼苗状态的影响

为了探讨紫茎泽兰种子需光萌发特性,对光质（不同颜色、红光/远红光）和光强对种子萌发率及幼苗状态进行了研究。研究发现：不同颜色光对发芽率影响显著,其中黄光、橙光和红光等波长在（591~750 nm）之间的光更有利于提高种子的萌发率（74.3%~83.3%）,而较短波长的光（<570 nm,紫光、蓝光和绿光）促进效果显著降低（62.3%~66.7%）（p<0.05）。光强对紫茎泽兰种子发芽和幼苗影响较光的颜色更具有规律性。黑暗条件下发芽率22%,随着光照提高,发芽率指数增加(r²=0.96),芽长指数下降(r²=0.99)、根长指数增加(r²=0.98),而鲜重呈现线性增加(r²=0.70)。适量红光（630 nm）和远红光（730 nm）照射能够打破和引起休眠,红光照射量与发芽率提高量成线性正相关（r²=0.98）,而远红光照射率与发芽率降低量呈线性正相关（r²=0.92）,说明紫茎泽兰需光萌发是一个光敏色素引起的过程。紫茎泽兰通常在裸地和人为干扰土壤上泛滥,这可能与其种子需光萌发有关。而对其生态学控制可以考虑从光强、特别是光质角度（如人工造林）控制种子萌发来实现。     

光谱对小贯小绿叶蝉趋光行为的影响

为了解小贯小绿叶蝉Empoasca onukii Matsuda对光的行为反应,为茶园害虫综合防治提供新思路,本研究利用光谱行为学,采用18种LED单色光源对小贯小绿叶蝉的趋光行为进行了研究。结果显示,小贯小绿叶蝉成虫对18个光源中的黄光（590~595 nm）趋向性相对较强,其次为紫光（420~425 nm）,对白色光源（对照）的趋向性最低。趋光性由大到小分别为黄光（590~595 nm）,紫光（420~425 nm）,紫外光（390~395 nm）,蓝光（460~465 nm）。忌避性较强的分别为橙光（600~605 nm）,对照,冰蓝青光（490~495 nm）,绿光（520~525 nm）。17种光谱与对照光结合显示,小贯小绿叶蝉对不同光谱的选择发生了变化,更倾向于先择紫外光（370~375 nm、380~385 nm、385~390 nm）,紫光（420~425 nm）,其次为琥珀色光（595~600 nm）,趋光率最低的为蓝光（460~465 nm）和红光（660~665 nm）。双光谱结合时,其选择随不同的结合而发生改变。黑暗、对照和光谱间相结合处理时,白光结合下对光谱的选择趋向性显著高于黑暗条件,两者间呈负相关。小贯小绿叶蝉对黄光（590~595 nm）和紫外光（370~375 nm）的趋向性较强,而对橙光（600~605 nm）、绿光（520~525 nm）和蓝光（460~465 nm）有显著的忌避性。可利用其对光谱的选择性,在室内饲养或茶园防治中采用相应的光谱进行处理,从而达到合理利用的目的。     

光质对杉木种子萌发及幼苗生长的影响

光是影响森林早期天然更新(种子萌发和幼苗生长)的重要因子之一.但光质对杉木(Cunninghamia lanceolata(Lamb.) Hook)早期更新的影响尚不清楚.为探讨光质对杉木种子萌发及幼苗生长的影响机制,以杉木种子为研究对象,通过设置8h白光(W)、8h红光(R)、6h红光-2 h远红光(R-FR)、4h红光-2 h远红光-2 h红光(R-FR-R)、黑暗(D,对照)5种不同光质处理,观察种子萌发及幼苗生长特征.结果表明,不同光质处理对杉木种子萌发影响显著,D和R-FR-R处理促进杉木种子萌发,R处理抑制种子萌发.最后一次照光选择红光处理(R和R-FR-R)能够显著促进杉木幼苗根和子叶的伸长,促进生物量积累以及增加叶生物量分配比例,但抑制茎的伸长,远红光处理则促进茎的生长.杉木种子为光不敏感种子,黑暗处理下萌发率最高,且远红光间断处理能够相对促进其萌发,说明杉木种子可以较好地适应异质光环境.     

光质对东北次生林生态系统主要树种种子萌发的影响

以东北次生林生态系统5个主要树种（日本落叶松、黄檗、色木槭、水曲柳和红松）种子为对象,采取室内控制(5个主要树种)和野外模拟(红松和日本落叶松)相结合的方法,研究光质对种子萌发的影响.室内和实际林分下分别设置了4种不同光质类型处理（以黑暗为对照）和3个红光/远红光比值(R/FR)梯度.结果表明： 不同光质类型除对日本落叶松种子萌发的影响不显著外,对其他4个树种种子萌发影响均显著.其中,黄檗种子萌发率在白光下达到最高,色木槭、水曲柳和红松种子萌发率在红光-远红光-红光照射下达到最高.林分内试验结果与室内一致,红松种子萌发率随林内R/FR下降而明显下降,落叶松种子萌发则不受光质的影响.在自然林分条件下,R/FR随着光斑活动不断变化,色木槭、水曲柳和红松种子萌发格局可能是对森林光斑环境适应的结果.大粒种子萌发显著受光质的影响.     

不同年龄香果树种子雨和种子库及其更新特征

对宝天曼自然保护区香果树种子雨、土壤种子库进行了观测,并进行不同微生境播种实验,研究其种子萌发及幼苗生长动态。结果表明:(1)不同龄级香果树种子雨持续时间及其高峰期有所不同,种子雨强度存在极显著差异。(2)20~50龄级香果树的种子饱满率、土壤种子库中种子密度均显著低于其他龄级,但其不同类型种子的水平和垂直分布规律一致;大约80%的香果树种子在其萌发前消失,剩余种子中以霉烂种子密度最高(9.81粒·m-2),饱满种子密度最低(1.94粒·m-2)。(3)野外育苗实验表明,不同龄级香果树所产饱满种子的萌发率及幼苗存活率差异不显著,其种子萌发率约为16.93%,但仅有3.86%的幼苗寿命超过5个月;不同微生境对香果树幼苗存活率产生显著影响,林窗是其最适宜微生境。研究认为,人工采集香果树种子,于次年4月份在原生境下播种;清理母树冠下和冠缘的地被物,增加林缘空地地被物覆盖度,以减少香果树种子的损失,改善香果树种子萌发和幼苗生长的光照条件,以利于幼苗根系的生长,促进香果树的自然更新。

濒危植物香果树种子萌发特性研究

论文研究了濒危植物香果树(Emmenopterys henryi)种子萌发特性。通过室内萌发实验初步检测了香果树种子的休眠, 采用靛蓝检验法检测了生活力, 通过室内室外条件的贮藏检验了种子寿命, 通过人工气候箱研究了萌发对温度、光强条件(9—24 ℃, 500—9000 lx交互)的响应。结果表明: 香果树果实成熟后, 种子无明显的休眠, 有生活力种子75.3%±7.9%, 无生活力10.9%±9.2%, 空粒6.5%±1.8%, 涩粒7.4%±6.4%; 贮藏四个月, 室内外贮藏种子萌发率高于78.6%±6.5%, 贮藏八个月, 室外贮藏种子全部失去活力, 贮藏一年, 室内贮藏种子萌发率20.2%±8.3%。无光照时香果树种子不萌发; 在500—9000 lx处理下, 12—24 ℃香果树种子最终萌发率均高于90%, 9 ℃下均低于80%。9 ℃时, 光强显著影响最终萌发率, 500 lx下为33.3%±6.9%, 3000 lx下为70.3%±4.2%。温度升高, 香果树种子平均萌发周期缩短, 萌发指数及活力指数上升。在12℃、15 ℃下的2000 lx、3000 lx下平均萌发周期显著低其他光强处理下, 萌发指数显著高于其他光强处理。总体上, 12 ℃、15 ℃时, 光强增强, 活力指数在500—3000 lx上升, 在3000—9000 lx间下降。在温度较高的18 ℃、21 ℃、24 ℃下, 平均萌发周期, 萌发指数, 活力指数受光强的影响明显弱于12 ℃、15 ℃下。野外香果树种子萌发期间, 野外环境温度在12—18 ℃之间,光照强度对香果树种子萌发有重要影响。合适的光照环境(1000—3000 lx)可能是野外香果树种子萌发、幼苗建植的关键。

Germination characteristics of some plant species from calcareous fens in southern Germany and their implications for the seed bank

Seeds of 25 plant species from calcareous fen hay meadows were exposed to different experimental conditions and their germination was characterised. Constant temperature inhibited germination especially in Cyperaceae . Both gibberellic acid and potassium nitrate failed to terminate dormancy. Increased germination rates were found in dicot species after treatment with gibberellic acid. Temperature fluctuations increased germination of Cyperaceae as well as dicotyledons. Treatment with gibberellic acid removed the chilling requirement in some of the species. Dormancy of small seeds with thin seed coats was broken by the application of gibberellic acid or fluctuating temperature; large thick-coated seeds were unaffected by gibberellic acid. No obligatory darkness requirement was found in any species; three species germinated irrespective of light treatments. All other species achieved higher percentage germination in daylight or in red (670 nm) light. Permanent darkness and far-red light (730 nm) reduced germination drastically. The results indicate that germination characteristics of the species investigated can be related to their seed bank types.     

Visible light regulates neurite outgrowth of nerve cells

The neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells on collagen-coated glass plates under light emitting diode (LED) irradiation at several wavelengths (i.e., 455, 470, 525, 600, 630, 880 and 945 nm) was investigated. No neurite outgrowth was observed during cultivation under irradiation from the lamp of an inverted light microscope through filters (yielding mixed light at ca. 525 nm and more than 800 nm), whereas neurite outgrowth was observed during cultivation in the dark. When these cells were irradiated with monochromatic LED light, neurite outgrowth was slightly, but not completely, suppressed at 455, 525, 600, 630, 880 and 945 nm, as was observed in the case of mixed light. Long connected neuronal outgrowths (e.g., 3 mm length) were observed with LED light at 470 nm and 1.8 mW/cm² intensity. No such outgrowths were observed at other LED light wavelengths (i.e., 455, 525, 600, 630, 880 and 945 nm). Irradiation at 470 nm may have caused specific responses to transductional signals in these cells that led to the connection of neuronal outgrowths between cells. Not only suppressed neurite outgrowth but also long connected neurite outgrowths were observed when PC12 cells were cultured under several different wavelengths of light.     

Light quality effect on the seeds germination in tropical pioneer tree Heliocarpus appendiculatus (Tiliaceae)

The objective of this study was to determine whether seeds of the pioneer tree Heliocarpus appendiculatus possess photoblastic dormancy. Seeds from nine trees were collected in Los Tuxtlas, Mexico. In order to test for the presence of photoblastic dormancy, germination experiments were carried out separately on seeds of each individual tree. The seeds from each tree were sown and subjected to four light treatments: fluorescent white light, red light (660 nm), far red light (730 nm), and darkness. A total of 50 seeds were sown in each plastic Petri dish (three replicates per treatment) on an agar solution. Experiments were carried out at a constant temperature of 20 degrees C, and a 12:12 hr (L:D) photoperiod. In addition, seeds of three individuals were sown on agar and subjected to a light quality gradient from red to far red (1.1-0.2). Results show that final germination percentages of seeds were unaffected by light quality in all individuals. Nevertheless, germination was delayed by 24 hr in the seeds of four individuals under the far red light treatment. By the end of fourth day, final germination did not differ among treatments. Further, germination of the three individuals under the red/far red gradient was unaffected. Seeds of H. appendiculatus lack photoblastic dormancy and germination behavior can not be used to explain the absence of seedlings below the canopy. We propose that this absence is due to the failure of the seedlings to establish themselves under the canopy.     

Action Spectrum between 250 and 800 Nanometers for the Photoinduced Inhibition of Spore Germination in Pteris vittata

An action spectrum between 250 and 800 nm for the inhibitionof red-light-induced germination of spores in the fern Pterisvittata was determined on the Okazaki Large Spectrograph. Theresultant spectrum showed prominent peaks of effectiveness atabout 370, 440 and 730 nm and a minor peak in the neighborhoodof 260 nm. Next, a brief red light irradiation was given immediatelyafter the monochromatic irradiation to cancel the inhibitoryeffect caused by simultaneously formed P_R. This resulted ina complete disappearance of the peak at 730 nm and considerabledecrease of other peaks in the shorter wavelength region exceptat 260 nm. Further correction of the latter spectrum by consideringthe transmission spectrum of a spore coat revealed that 260nm light acted more effectively than lights of 370 and 440 nm.The inhibitory effect of UV light on spore germination was nullifiedby subsequent irradiation with red light for 24 h or darknessfor 48 h followed by a brief red irradiation, indicating thatthe inhibitory action of UV light was ascribable to a blue-ultraviolet light-absorbing pigment. ⁴Present address (KT) and permanent address (MF): Botany Department,Faculty of Science, University of Tokyo, Hongo, Tokyo 113, Japan.

Effects of light wavelength on growth and survival rate in juvenile Pacific bluefin tuna, Thunnus orientalis

The spectral sensitivity of the fish and the suitable light wavelength range for survival and growth performance of juvenile Pacific bluefin tuna (PBT) were investigated. The spectral sensitivity peak of PBT under photopic condition was observed between 449 and 503 nm, which corresponded to their natural habitat. The fish were reared in tanks irradiated continuously with 4 kinds of light emitting diodes (LEDs). The maximum wavelength of LEDs used for the rearing experiment were 460 nm (blue), 520 nm (green), 630 nm (red), and 450–680 nm (white). There was no notable difference in survival rate among fish in the four LED groups. However, the growth of juvenile PBT was lesser under red light compared to the green and white light wavelengths. These results suggest that PBT juveniles have low sensitivity to red light because the fish are rarely exposed to the red light wavelengths under natural ocean conditions. Thus, low sensitivity to red light negatively influenced the feeding behavior and growth of PBT juveniles.     

Internally illuminated photobioreactor using a novel type of light-emitting diode (LED) bar for cultivation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Arthrospira platensis</Emphasis>

The biochemical properties of Spirulina platensis in an internally illuminated photobioreactor (IlPBR) were investigated under different light-emitted diode (LED) wavelengths; blue (λ_max= 450 and 460 nm), green (λ_max= 525 nm), red (λ_max = 630 and 660 nm), and white (6,500K), with various light intensities (200, 500, 1,000, and 2,000 μmol/m²/sec) were examined. The highest specific growth rate, maximum biomass, and phycocyanin productivity occurred under the red LEDs (0.39/day, 0.10 g/L/day, and 0.14 g/g-cell/day, respectively) at 1,000 μmol/m²/sec; the lowest growth rate was obtained under blue LEDs. Indeed, the size of trichomes was changed into short form under blue LEDs at all light intensities or all LEDs at 2,000 μmol/m²/sec for the first 2 days after inoculation, and S. platensis did not grow in the IlPBR under the dark condition. These results provide a base for different approaches for designing the pilot scale photobioreactor and developing cost-effective light sources.     

Photosensibilité des graines depinus banksiana Lamb.

Germination ofPinus banksiana seeds is controlled by the photoreversible phytochrome reaction. The seeds, even unimbibed, are sensitive to red light. At 660 nm, the energy required to promote germination to the same order of magnitude is much higher for unimbibed seeds than for the imbibed ones. In both cases it is possible to reverse the effect of a single red light irradiation by applying far red light (730 nm).     

Environmental cues for germination of the invasive bunch grass <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pennisetum ciliare</Emphasis> (L.) Link

Responses of seed germination to air temperature, water potential, light, and smoke were studied in the laboratory for seeds of the invasive bunch grass Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link (syn. Cenchrus ciliare L.; buffel grass). First introduced to North America during the mid-twentieth Century for establishing pastures, this African bunch grass has become an invasive species of concern. Across all the experiments conducted, a low germination was observed for P. ciliare fascicles that never exceeded 30 % at 21 days after sowing. Optimal day/night air temperatures for germination, controlled with an environmental chamber, were 25/15 and 30/20 °C, while extreme temperatures of 15/5 and 45/35 °C inhibited germination. By sowing seeds of P. ciliare under different water potentials, created with aqueous solutions of polyethylene glycol, an optimum of ?0.03 MPa led to the highest germination, while no germination was observed at ?1.0 MPa. Monochromatic optical filters were utilized to germinate seeds under various wavelengths, of which red (650 nm) and far red (730 nm) led to the highest germination. In addition, seeds that were incubated in the dark had higher germination than those incubated under white light. Incubation in smoke water, which can stimulate germination of pyrophytic species, resulted in a marginal inhibition of germination compared with imbibition with distilled water.
