利用开顶式气室(Open Top Chamber,OTC),通过测定大豆叶片中黄酮类物质(总黄酮、芦丁、槲皮素和桑色素)和酚类物质(总多酚、阿魏酸和P-香豆酰)含量变化,以及苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)、多酚氧化酶(PPO)及脂肪氧化酶(LOX)3种酶活性变化,研究O_...利用开顶式气室(Open Top Chamber,OTC),通过测定大豆叶片中黄酮类物质(总黄酮、芦丁、槲皮素和桑色素)和酚类物质(总多酚、阿魏酸和P-香豆酰)含量变化,以及苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)、多酚氧化酶(PPO)及脂肪氧化酶(LOX)3种酶活性变化,研究O_3浓度升高对大豆叶片黄酮类和多酚类物质及其氧化酶的影响。以大气臭氧浓度为对照,设置110n L·L^(-1) O_3浓度为一个处理,每个处理设3个OTCs重复。结果表明,随着大豆生育期的延长,与对照相比,总黄酮、芦丁、槲皮素和桑色素都表现出先上升后下降的趋势,在开花期达到峰值,且显著(P<0.05)高于对照;P-香豆酰含量表现出先上升后下降的趋势,在开花期达到峰值,总多酚和阿魏酸都显著(P<0.05)上升;PAL、PPO、LOX 3种酶的活性与对照相比都显著(P<0.05)升高。O_3浓度升高会诱导大豆叶片内PAL和PPO活性增强,进而增加叶片内黄酮类和多酚类物质的含量,提高大豆叶片抗氧化性,抵抗O_3的伤害。但随着O_3熏蒸时间的延长,大豆抗氧化性下降,导致籽粒产量下降。展开更多

However, how the UV radiation affects the litter decomposition on the forest floor remains unclear. Here, we conducted a field-based experiment in 2011 in the southeastern Horqin Sandy Land, Northeast China, to investigate the effects of UV radiation, litter layer thickness, and their interaction on the mass loss and chemical properties of decomposing litter from Xiaozhuan poplar(Populus × xiaozhuanica) and Mongolian pine(Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica) plantation trees. We found that UV radiation accelerated the decomposition rates of both the Xiaozhuan poplar litter and Mongolian pine litter. For both species, the thick-layered litter had a lower mass loss than the thin-layered litter. The interaction between UV radiation and litter layer thickness significantly affected the litter mass loss of both tree species. However, the effects of UV radiation on the chemical properties of decomposing litter differed between the two species, which may be attributed to the contrasting initial leaf litter chemical properties and morphology. UV radiation mostly had positive effects on the lignin concentration and lignin/N ratio of Xiaozhuan poplar litter, while it had negative effects on the N concentration of Mongolian pine litter. Moreover, litter layer thickness and its interaction with UV radiation showed mostly positive effects on the N concentration and lignin/N ratio of Xiaozhuan poplar litter and the ratios of C/N and lignin/N of Mongolian pine litter, and mostly negative effects on the C/N ratio of Xiaozhuan poplar litter and the N concentration of Mongolian pine litter. Together, these results reveal the important roles played by UV radiation and litter layer thickness in the process of litter decomposition in this semi-arid region, and highlight how changes in the litter layer thickness can exert strong influences on the photodegradation of litter in tree plantations.展开更多
