    To explore the effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes in gametophyte development and sporophyte production of Ceratopteris thalictroides, and to lay a foundation for conservation and breeding of endangered ferns.C. thalictroides was used as material, and five treatment group of 0(the control), 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 mg·L-1 was set,and the effects of different mass concentrations of multi-walled carbon nanotubes on gametophyte development and sporophyte formation of C. thalictroides were observed by light microscope. The results showed that compared with the control group, 0.5-2.5 mg·L-1 multi-walled carbon nanotube treatment could advance spore germination by about 15 d, among them, 0.5 mg·L-1 multi-walled carbon nanotubes had the best effect on spore germination, 0.5-1.5 mg·L-1 multi-walled carbon nanotubes had the best effect on protonema and plate formation, and 2.5 mg·L-1 multi-walled carbon nanotubes had the best effect on prothallus and sporophyte formation. High mass concentration (5.0 mg·L-1) of multi-walled carbon nanotubes led to deformity of some gametophytes, and spermogonium degradation, chlorosis of chloroplasts in cells, and chlorosis of chloroplasts in some cells on the developing sporophytes cells. In addition, male gametophytes was promoted by the addition of multi-walled carbon nanotube. In conclusion,0.5-2.5 mg·L-1 multi-walled carbon nanotube treatment might significantly promote gametophyte development and sporophyte production of C. thalictroides, and the number of spermogonium increased significantly, and both monoecious and dioecious gametophytes appeared simultaneously, high mass concentration of multi-walled carbon nanotube treatment might result in‘high concentration inhibition’ of gametophyte development of C. thalictroides. In the process of practical application, the corresponding addition amount should be selected based on the specific need.

    Mixed-species plantations can promote soil nutrient cycling, productivity, and ecosystem functions. Mycorrhizal associations play important roles in affecting species coexistence and nutrient cycling in mixed plantations. However, our understanding on the effects of mixed tree species with different mycorrhizal types on soil microbial community associated with soil nutrients of Eucalyptus plantations remains limited. In this study, we conducted metagenomic sequencing to investigate the changes in soil microbial community structure and functions, co-occurrence networks between bacteria and fungi, and their relationships with soil nutrients for one monospecific Eucalyptus plantation and three mixed Eucalyptus plantations with different mycorrhizal tree species, including Dalbergia odorifera(arbuscular mycorrhizal and N2-fixing, AM-NF), Michelia macclurei(arbuscular mycorrhizal, AM), and Quercus acutissima(ectomycorrhizal, ECM). The results indicated that the mixed stands significantly increased the richness of soil microbial community, enhanced the abundance of genes related to soil nutrient cycling, and increased the complexity of microbial co-occurrence networks. The mixed plantations of Eucalyptus with D. odorifera had the highest soil microbial richness, relative abundance of bacterial community associated with aerobic chemoheterotrophy and fermentation, and the modularity of fungal-bacterial co-occurrence network; meanwhile, either the bacterial or fungal communities were significantly different from the other three plantations. The mixed Eucalyptus plantations with M. macclurei or Q. acutissima species had the highest abundance of microbial functional genes such as hydrocarbon degradation, nitrogen fixation, and methanotrophy. In addition, the microbial co-occurrence networks in the mixed Eucalyptus plantations with Q. acutissima have the highest number of edges, average degree, and network stability. The richness of key microbes in co-occurrence networks was closely correlated with soil $NO^{-}_{3}$ level. However, the richness of microbial community of the networks in the mixed Eucalyptus plantations with D. odorifera and M. macclurei was largely associated with soil $NO^{+}_{4}$ level.

    Populus simonii×P. nigra is a fast-growing and cold-tolerant tree species with elite wood properties in northeast China. In order to produce a new forest germplasm with more widely planting and improved drought tolerance, this study successfully generated transgenic P. simonii×P. nigra using PsnNAC007, a key drought response transcription factor gene. Growth characteristics, drought tolerant ability, net photosynthetic rate(Pn), transpiration rate(Tr), stomatal conductance(Gs), water conductance, cell morphology and wood components of overexpressed PsnNAC007 transgenic plants were analyzed respectively. The results showed that there was no significant difference in growth between transgenic and wild-type plants, but drought survival rate was increased by 26.15%. Under drought condition, transgenic plants exhibited reduced Cleaf and Tr, improved water use efficiency, and lower water conductance loss. Anatomical analysis showed that the overexpression of PsnNAC007 led to more and smaller stem xylem vessels, which were conducive to the continuous and efficient water transport in plants under drought conditions. Based on wood components analysis, lignin deposition in stems of transgenic plants was increased significantly, and monosaccharides that constituted cellulose and hemicellulose showed no significant change.

    This study evaluated the antioxidant, antimicrobial, UV radiation resistance properties, and secondary metabolite content of fermented extracts from 20 endophytic fungi of diverse plant origins to assess their potential in cosmetic applications. ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging rates of fermentation broths and mycelial extracts were measured using microplate reader colorimetry, while ferric ion reduction capacity was determined via FRAP assay. Antimicrobial activity was assessed using the Oxford cup method. The results indicated strong antioxidant activity in fermentation broths of strains XY1, YZ6, ZJ29, XG4-2, and ZBS49. ZJ29 exhibited the highest DPPH radical scavenging rate (93.62%), while XY1 showed the highest ABTS radical scavenging rate (90.47%). ZJ29 fermentation broth also demonstrated an ABTS radical scavenging rate >50% and the highest FRAP value (2 974.55 μmol·L-¹). Tyrosinase inhibition by ZJ29 and ZL18-1 mycelial extracts reached 60.62% and 98.10%, respectively, with ZJ29 fermentation broth showing the strongest inhibition(69.78%). ZJ29 fermentation broth exhibited the highest inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus. The UVA and UVB absorbance of YZ6 and ZJ29 was higher than 2.8, and the UVA absorbance of YZ6 and ZJ29 was higher than 2.0 and 1.5, respectively. YZ6 mycelial extract also showed strong resistance to UVB and UVA, with absorbance of 1.5-2.5. YH3 and XY1 mycelial extracts contained the higher polyphenol (18.47 and 15.36 mg·g-¹) and flavonoid (4.35 and 7.15 mg·g-¹) content, respectively. ZL23 and ZJ29 had the higher triterpene content (16.79 and 11.20 mg·g-¹, respectively). In conclusion, ZJ29 mycelial extracts had superior antimicrobial, UV radiation resistance, and antioxidant activities, followed by YZ6 and XY1, highlighting their significant potential for daily chemical products.

    Germin-like proteins (GLPs) are a class of highly conserved stress-responsive proteins that can specifically respond to symbiotic interactions. This study, based on the whole-genome information of maize B73, used bioinformatics approaches to identify and analyze the characteristics of the ZmGLP gene family. The expression patterns of ZmGLP genes during arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(AMF) symbiosis were examined by using transcriptome data. This study identified a total of 45 ZmGLP genes, which were distributed across nine chromosomes, with 25 of the genes being tandem duplications. By analysis of a phylogenetic tree, ZmGLP genes were classified into five distinct subfamilies. Notably, there were significant differences in tissue expression patterns among different ZmGLP genes. Promoter cis-element analysis showed that ZmGLP promoters contained elements responsive to light, stress, and growth and development. Interestingly, the promoter of ZmGLP4-8 contained the mycorrhiza-responsive element MYCS, and 20 ZmGLP promoters contained the potential mycorrhiza-responsive element GCCGGC. Analysis of transcriptome data from maize roots at different days after inoculation with AMF revealed that the expression of 12 ZmGLP genes was significantly changed following inoculation with AMF. Among them, ZmGLP3-3ZmGLP4-8ZmGLP4-16ZmGLP4-20ZmGLP5-1, and ZmGLP6-1 were significantly upregulated in expression during the late stage of symbiosis. These genes were located in different evolutionary branches compared to the reported symbiosis-related GLP genes, suggesting that these genes may be involved in functions related to the late stage of mycorrhizal symbiosis. Functional studies of ZmGLP3-3 showed that, compared to wild-type maize plants, the mycorrhizal symbiosis rate of the mutant zmglp3-3 was significantly reduced. In summary, this study provided a comprehensive theoretical basis for the exploration of symbiosis-related ZmGLP genes in maize, offering insights into their potential roles and functions in plant-fungal interactions.

    高等植物在高于最适温度且低于逆境高温的温和高温范围内,发生的一系列形态变化统称为热形态建成。在这些形态变化中,以高温诱导的下胚轴伸长受到的关注最多,研究也最为深入。SMALL AUXIN UP RNA(SAUR)基因家族在促进生长和细胞伸长过程中发挥着重要作用。然而,对于高温调控SAURs的分子机制还知之甚少。该研究以拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana)Col-0野生型、pif4-2突变体和4种转基因植物为材料,采用实时荧光定量PCR、染色质免疫共沉淀、双荧光素酶报告基因检测和表型分析的方法探索了热形态建成中高温调控SAUR1~SAUR4的分子机制。结果表明:高温促进SAUR1~SAUR4转录,并且这一促进作用需要转录因子PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 4(PIF4);转录因子PIF4结合SAUR1~SAUR4启动子区中含有E-box的区域,并且温和高温会提高这些结合的强度;在热形态建成信号转导通路中SAUR1处于PIF4的下游;PIP4对SAUR1~SAUR4的调控需要生长素信号转导通路的参与。以上结果表明,高温通过影响PIF4与SAUR1~SAUR4启动子染色质的结合强度来调控这4个基因的转录。该研究有助于理解热形态建成中高温调控下胚轴伸长的下游分子机制,从而丰富抗热育种理论。

    以热带胎生睡莲‘鲁比’(Nymphaea ‘Ruby’)和‘蓝鸟’(N.‘Blue Bird’)的胎生与非胎生叶片为材料,非胎生睡莲‘蓝星’(N.‘Colorata’)叶片为对照(CK),测定并比较3个品种的叶片形态特征参数,并采用石蜡切片技术观察卷叶期和展叶后的叶片解剖结构,旨在探讨热带睡莲叶片形态特征与胎芽发育的关系。结果表明:3个品种均具有典型的热带睡莲特征‘,鲁比’和‘蓝鸟’的胎生叶片除叶脐形成胎芽以外,叶长、叶宽和叶面积略低于非胎生叶片,但差异均不显著(P>0.05),而叶片解剖结构特征参数随着叶片的发育发生了改变。胎生睡莲展叶后叶片上、下表皮以及海绵组织厚度较卷叶期变薄,均高于非胎生叶片,而栅栏组织厚度、栅海比较卷叶期增加,且低于非胎生叶片,说明胎芽的发育导致栅栏组织结构紧密度降低,而海绵组织结构疏松度增加,但与叶片整体厚度无关;非胎生品种‘蓝星’叶片栅海比和细胞结构紧密度均显著高于胎生品种的叶片。各指标的可塑性变异较高,且存在一定的相关关系,具有明显的协同进化趋势。主成分分析显示,上下表皮厚度、海绵组织厚度、栅栏组织厚度、栅海比、叶片组织结构紧密度和疏松度均可视为反映睡莲胎生叶片解剖结构特征的主要指标。因此,胎生叶片通过改变叶肉组织结构的方式来响应胎萌的发生。

    为了探究刺五加(Acanthopanax senticosus)种子的休眠类型以及种子萌发过程中生理和代谢特征,以东北地区刺五加种子为研究对象,分别在不同温度条件(20℃,4℃,20℃/4℃)下对种子进行140 d沙藏层积处理。通过观察胚的表型变化,筛选出5个典型时期。研究5个典型时期种子中的内源激素、主要营养物质及其水解酶、抗氧化系统和代谢组学的动态变化规律。结果表明(:1)刺五加种子吸水性能良好,20℃恒温条件只能促进胚的伸长,不能萌发。4℃恒温条件下胚率无增长。只有0~110 d保持20℃恒温,110~140 d保持4℃恒温,胚率增长且种子能够萌发。(2)随着胚率增长,赤霉素含量上升,脱落酸含量下降,吲哚乙酸、吲哚丁酸和萘乙酸含量均下降;脂肪含量下降,可溶性糖含量上升。脂肪含量与脂肪水解酶活性呈显著负相关,与可溶性糖含量呈极显著负相关。(3)共筛选出92个差异代谢物,碳代谢、能量代谢和抗氧化代谢是主要的差异代谢通路。此外,倍半萜和三萜生物合成、脂肪酸生物合成、甘油脂类代谢等也存在差异。总之,刺五加种子属于形态生理性休眠,变温层积是打破种子休眠的必要条件,内源激素能够调控种子的休眠与萌发。脂肪等大分子营养物质被水解酶分解,为种子萌发提供物质和能量,这也是种子萌发的必要条件之一。该研究可为鉴定刺五加种子休眠类型以及人工繁殖提供理论依据。

    为了揭示硒(Se)对膜荚黄芪(Astragalus membranaceus)镉(Cd)胁迫的缓解机制,以传统药用植物膜荚黄芪为材料,利用水培技术综合研究了离子拮抗作用、抗氧化酶系统、重金属螯合物以及异黄酮在Se缓解Cd胁迫中的作用。结果表明:10μmol·L-1 Se显著改善了50μmol·L-1 Cd胁迫下膜荚黄芪幼苗生长状况并减轻了植株的活性氧积累水平以及膜脂过氧化水平。Cd处理下Se添加显著降低了膜荚黄芪各部位Cd含量,同时Cd添加也显著降低了各部位Se含量,说明膜荚黄芪在Se与Cd的吸收上具有明显的拮抗作用。抗氧化酶活性测定结果显示,Se添加降低了Cd胁迫下膜荚黄芪各部位过氧化物酶(POD)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)活性,通过相关性分析发现多种抗氧化酶活性与■含量具有显著正相关关系,暗示抗氧化酶活性的变化更多的是与植物体内活性氧水平相适应的结果。此外,Se添加也降低了Cd处理下膜荚黄芪各部位非蛋白巯基和金属硫蛋白含量,且两者在各部位的含量与对应Cd含量呈现出良好的正相关,表明重金属螯合物含量是由各部位Cd含量所调节的。与抗氧化酶和金属硫蛋白不同,Se添加显著提高了Cd胁迫下膜荚黄芪幼苗根系中3种异黄酮成分的含量。进一步对异黄酮合成途径关键酶基因CHS、IFS、I3'H、IOMT和UCGT表达水平进行研究,发现Se明显上调了Cd处理下所有酶基因的表达水平。综上,Se通过吸收过程中与Cd的拮抗作用降低了Cd处理下膜荚黄芪幼苗中的Cd含量,降低了植物受胁迫程度,同时通过上调异黄酮等次生代谢物质合成,提高了植物对Cd胁迫的耐性。

The results showed that: Nitrogen addition increased the biomass accumulation of different tissues of C.bodinieri seedlings in rare earth tailings, and the leaf biomass and canopy biomass at N1 level were significantly increased by 44.75% and 57.43%(P<0.05), respectively, compared with N2. Compared with CK and N1 treatment, the leaf mass ratio of N2 level was significantly increased by 123.53% and 15.85%(P<0.05), respectively. Nitrogen addition significantly promoted the root length and root surface area of both coarse roots(diameter>2mm) and fine roots(diameter≤2mm)(P<0.05), and the promotion effect of N1 treatment was the most significant(P<0.05). The specific root length and specific surface area under N2 treatment were higher than those of CK and N1, and significantly different from CK(P<0.05). For NSC, N1 treatment increased the soluble sugar mass fraction in leaves and stems, while the NSC mass fraction of fine roots under N2 treatment was significantly lower than that of CK and N1 by 46.49% and 28.61%, respectively. In summary, during vegetation restoration in rare earth mine tailings, 1.8 g per plant calcium ammonium nitrate fertilizer might be suitable for fertilization management of C.bodinieri seedlings.

    Protected plants usually have high utilization value or a small population size, and are the plant groups facing the highest survival threat, and are also one of the focus objects of biodiversity conservation. Based on the systematic survey of key protected wild plants in Wenshan Prefecture, the abundance and geographic distribution of them were analyzed, and the weights were determined by using four indicators, including endangerment coefficient, genetic value coefficient, protection coefficient, and utilization value coefficient, and then the integrated value of priority protection for these plants were calculated, and the different levels of priority protection to species were classified. The results showed that the387 species of wild plants were identified under priority protection in Wenshan Prefecture, including 36 species under national-level priority protection, 259 species at the second level, 24 species under priority protection at the second level in Yunnan Province, and 78 species at the third level, respectively. Orchidaceae family accounted for 38%(112 species) of the wild plants under national-level priority protection, was an important protected taxon in Wenshan Prefecture. From the horizontal distribution level, Malipo, Maguan and Xichou Counties in the south had high species richness with 228, 224, and 200 species, respectively. On the other hand, Guangnan, Qubei and Yanshan Counties in the north-central part had lower species richness with 87, 68 and 52 species, respectively. In terms of vertical distribution, the elevation range of 1 301 to 1 500 m was the most concentrated area for wild key protected plants. Therefore, biodiversity protection efforts should focus on the southern region and areas with an altitude of 1 301 to 1 500 m. The combined value of priority protection ranged from 0.372 to 0.940, resulting in 39 species classified as Class Ⅰ, 142 species as Class Ⅱ, 123 species as Class Ⅲ, and 83 species as Class Ⅳ. Eight species, including Begonia gulinqingensisCamellia fascicularisHorsfieldia tetratepalaCymbidium qiubeienseCamellia crassicolumna var. multiplexDysosma pleiantha and Cypripedium henryi, were not listed as threatened species in the “China Biodiversity Red List-Higher Plants Volume(2020)”, but were assessed as Class Ⅰ Priority Conservation due to their small number of distribution individuals, and significant human disturbance and high conservation value. These species should be considered urgent targets for rescue and protection.

The hybrid of C. bungei and C. ovata was pseudo three-branch, with strong differentiation ability of flower buds, and multiple rounds of flowering in the year of grafting, and the flowering period of over 100 days, exhibited maternal traits. The floral organ characteristics of hybrid species of C. bungei were significantly different, with seven to nine rounds of lateral branches in the inflorescence axis, and the main axis was an infinite inflorescence, and the lateral branches were dichasium, and the transition from the bottom to the top was a cyme inflorescence, which was a transitional trait from a limited inflorescence of C. bungei to an infinite inflorescence of C. ovata. The variation ranges of total flower length, flower tube diameter, flower tube length, corolla width, peduncle length, pistil length, anther length, stamen length, and sterile stamen length were 35.42-50.36, 10.84-16.13, 16.57-24.68, 31.58-44.87, 9.07-31.99, 19.44-27.52, 4.85-5.89, 13.93-21.10, 3.66-6.79 mm, respectively. The variation coefficient ranged from 10.88%-31.02%, and the diversity index ranged from 1.36-1.93. Based on the nine traits, the 12 hybrids were clustered into three types: large flower type, medium flower type and small flower type. There were significant differences in flower color among C. bungei hybrids.The values of L*, a* and b* were used to cluster the labellum flower spots color of the 12 hybrids into three categories, namely pinkish purple, purplish red and purple.

    Leaf is the main photosynthetic organ, and the leaf morphology beneficial for photosynthesis has become an important breeding target. atscamp was screened from the Arabidopsis thaliana mutant library(about 6 000 lines) with wide leaves. Tail-PCR analysis revealed a T-DNA insertion at the AT1G11180 locus, which encodes a secretory carrier membrane protein(SCAMP). RT-PCR showed that the transcriptional expression level of the gene was basically zero. The leaf width and area of the mutant were significantly larger than those of wild type plants(P<0.01), while the crown diameter was essentially unchanged. Additionally, chlorophyll content, chlorophyll maximium fluorescence, and photosystem II potential photochemical efficiency were all increased in the atscamp mutant(P<0.05). Correspondingly, the mutants showed significant increases in transpiration coefficient(Tr), net photosynthetic rate(Pn), and leaf water use efficiency(WUE)(P<0.05). Spatial-temporal specific expression analysis of the AT1G11180 gene revealed that the gene was highly expressed only in leaves, with low expression levels in other organs, and the gene expression gradually increased with the development and maturity of plants. The results suggested that AtSCAMP might play an important role in leaf shape development.

    To explore the mixing effect of Cunninghamia lanceolata and Elaeocarpus sylvestris, 20-year-old pure and mixed C. lanceolata and E. sylvestris plantations in Fengshushan Forestry Farm in Jingdezhen were selected as test objects, and three slope positions(up slope position, middle slope position and down slope position) were set for each stand type, and the effect of mixed tree species on the plantation growth was analyzed, and the responses of the mixed effects on site condition and on environmental factors was investigated, respectively. The results showed that the volume of the mixed forests ircreased by 5% compared with the expected volume, showing a slightl increase. Compared with pure stands, the diameter distributions of the two species showed opposite trends to the mixed, the peak of diameter distribution of C. lanceolata in mixed stands moved towards higher order, however, the peak of diameter distribution of E. sylvestris in mixed stands moved towards lower order. The allometric analysis of coarse root diameter-stem diameter of pure and mixed plantations showed that C. lanceolata allometry in mixed forests was focused on stem growth, while E. sylvestris allometry in mixed forests was focused on root growth, regardless of forest type and tree species, tree growth would focus on stem growth from slope position to bottom. There was a significant negative correlation between the mixed effect of C. lanceolata and E. sylvestris and the site index, the soil available phosphorus was the main limiting factor for the growth of the mixed forests. The mixed forest of C. lanceolata and E. sylvestris might improve stand growth, and the mixed stands had better adaptability to poor site conditions.
