Invasive plants can change soil microbial communities and therefore promote invasion. While vegetation restoration has been adopted in certain infested lands to curb the invasion of Solanum rostratum, changes in the composition and function of rhizosphere soil bacterial communities of the species before and after the restoration has not yet been reported. In this study, two vegetation combinations used in previous studies were selected as candidates:Astragalus adsurgens+Elymus dahuricus+Bromus inermis (T1) and A. adsurgens+Festuca arundinacea+Agropyron cristatum+Leymus chinensis (T2). Rhizosphere soil samples were collected from each combination (T1 and T2), a S. rostratum invaded area (SR), and the native plant (NP) control to analyze the bacterial community structure and diversity using 16S rDNA gene sequencing on the Illumina MiSeq platform. PICRUSt was further used to predict the functional abilities of soil bacterial communities. Results of 16S rDNA gene sequencing showed that both the Simpson and Chao1 indices were higher in the SR treatment than in the NP treatment, but neither reached a significant level, although both indices decreased significantly after vegetation restoration (T1 and T2; P<0.05). The relative abundance of Microvirga, Skermanella, and Sphingomonas from phylum Proteobacteria and Bryobacter from the phylum Acidobacteria were significantly lower in the SR treatment (P<0.05) when compared with the NP treatment and higher in restoration treatments (T1 and T2). The RDA analysis showed that soil organic matter (OM), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), total potassium (TK), and available potassium (AK) were important factors affecting the composition of the bacterial community. Based on the PICRUSt analysis of soil bacterial community functions, the relative abundance of gene families related to biosynthesis of amino acids, purine metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, ribosome, and aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis were higher in the rhizosphere samples of the SR treatment than those of the NP treatment and reduced significantly after vegetation restoration (T1 and T2; P<0.05). The structure and function of rhizosphere soil bacterial community of S. rostratum and vegetation restoration were analyzed and provided a theoretical basis for the invasion mechanism and ecological restoration of S. rostratum.

外来入侵植物会影响入侵地土壤氮库结构,研究外来植物与土壤氮转化的关系可以为揭示其入侵机制提供理论依据.以中国北方农牧交错带大面积发生的入侵植物少花蒺藜草为研究对象,选取裸地及本土植物鹅观草样地作为对照,研究少花蒺藜草入侵与外源氮对土壤氮转化速率的影响,以期从土壤氮转化速率的角度探讨少花蒺藜草的入侵机制.结果表明:与裸地及本地植物鹅观草样地相比,少花蒺藜草入侵地土壤氮净矿化速率增加;在分蘖期前(6—7月),土壤硝化速率增加、氨化速率降低;自分蘖开始至枯萎(8—10月),土壤硝化速率降低、氨化速率增加.添加NH4+-N或NO3?-N对整体的氮转化速率水平有影响,并使分蘖期后少花蒺藜草入侵地的氮矿化速率降低,但不改变分蘖前后三样地间硝化和氨化速率的大小关系.与净硝化速率及净氨化速率的关联性大小顺序为:添加外源氮处理>少花蒺藜草入侵>交互效应.与净矿化速率的关联性大小顺序为:添加外源氮处理>交互效应>少花蒺藜草入侵.添加外源氮更有利于裸地及本地植物鹅观草样地的氮矿化作用.少花蒺藜草在低氮素含量环境中表现出的生长优越性揭示了其适应沙质草地生态系统的一种入侵机制.
空心莲子草(Alternanthera philoxeroides)是一种多年生的全球性恶性杂草,破坏入侵地生物多样性,给航运及水产养殖业带来巨大损失.利用生物防治可以有效控制空心莲子草(Alternanthera philoxeroides)的扩散蔓延,是国内外的研究热点之一.空心莲子草叶甲(Agasicles hygrophila)是从美国引入的专食性天敌昆虫,对空心莲子草有很好的防治效果,且具有生态环保性良好、投入低、防效长等特点.天敌昆虫的释放量可显著影响防控效果,有关其最佳释放量的研究对实际应用具有重要指导意义.依托空心莲子草天敌工厂,采用环境条件控制试验,对空心莲子草的种群密度、植株形态、叶绿素含量、生物量等生物学和生理生化指标进行测定,结合对各种条件下空心莲子草叶甲种群数量的分析,研究了不同天敌释放量(0~8对·m?2)对空心莲子草的防治效果.结果表明,在初始种群密度为40 stems·m?2条件下,随着释放量的增加,空心莲子草叶甲成虫和羽化孔的数量均呈现先增加后减少的趋势,而卵、各龄幼虫、蛹的数量变化规律各不相同;空心莲子草的茎密度、生物量(湿质量、干质量)均随天敌释放量增加而逐渐降低,而节间距、茎直径等形态指标则呈现先降低后增加的趋势.研究结果显示,释放4对空心莲子草叶甲可达到最佳防治效果.在此释放量下,空心莲子草叶甲羽化孔数量和成虫数量均达到最高,空心莲子草种群密度最低,测得的节间距和茎直径最短,叶片中叶绿素含量较低,生物量最少.进一步分析表明,该释放量既能保证空心莲子草叶甲的稳定繁育和数量增加,又可获得对空心莲子草最佳的取食和控制效果,具有成本低、效率高的特点.试验结果可为进一步优化空心莲子草叶甲的繁育和释放技术提供理论依据.
Alternanthera philoxeroides is an typical alien invasive amphibious perennial herbaceous plant with a wide range of ecological adaptability and strong asexual reproduction ability. In this study, to further reveal the main survival strategies of A. philoxeroides in different habitats,we tried to explore the difference on the phenotypic plasticity and nitrogen migration amount of A. philoxeroides in three different habitats including terrestrial(I),amphibious(II)and aquatic(III)environment.The results showed that there were significant differences in biomass of different organs and nitrogen migration amount of A.philoxeroides in different habitats. Importantly, nitrogen migration amount was significant difference (P<0.05), which were all reflected to II>III>I in three different treatments. The average growth rate of habitat II was 23.32% higher than III and 54.49% higher than I, respectively. The total biomass of A. philoxeroides was highest in habitat II but lowest in habitat I, respectively. The distribution of biomass underground part showed a significant negative correlation with water content of habitat, which wasⅠ>Ⅱ>Ⅲ. The distribution of average biomass in stem was 15.57% higher than that in leaf. In different habitats. The plant height and internodes length of A. philoxeroides both were reflectedⅡ>Ⅲ>Ⅰ.Therefore,it displays stronger phenotypic plasticity and adaptability to heterogeneous environment in amphibious habitat base on the difference of the nitrogen migration quantity and distribution pattern and biomass of different organs of A. philoxeroides under different habitats. This research reveals the clonal plant A. philoxeroides has stronger invasive ability in amphibious habitats than other two habitats. It will give great helpful to provide theoretical basis for the prevention and control of A.philoxeroides.
Kiwifruit originated in China and later introduced to international market by New Zealand.As one of the main producers of kiwifruit in the world,kiwifruit industry in China has rapidly expanded over the last decade.Pathogen is one of the key factors affecting sustainable development of kiwifruit industry.Plant pathology in kiwifruit is mainly focused on bacterial and fungal causing diseases,such as bacterial canker caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv.actinidiae.Over the last few years,outbreaks of bacterial canker on Actinidia chinensis and A.deliciosa have caused a huge impact on international kiwifruit industry.For viruses in kiwifruit,our knowledge of them is still limited.Virus which can be latent is a hidden danger in the fruit production.Mounting evidence indicates that kiwifruit viruses are widely present in fields.The first incidence of virus in kiwifruit was reported in the year of 2003 by scientists from New Zealand,who detected the presence of apple stem grooving virus in kiwifruit plants imported from China.To date,fifteen viruses have been reported worldwide,including two tobamoviruses,Ribgrass mosaic virus (RMV) and Turnip vein clearing virus (TVCV);a tombusvirus,Cucumber necrosis virus (CNV);a novel potexvirus,Actinidia virus X;a capillovirus,Apple stem gooving virus;a alfamovirus,Alfalfa mosaic virus;a cucumovirus,Cucumber mosaic virus;a nepovirus,Cherry leaf roll virus;a anulavirus,Pelargonium zonate spot virus;two vitiviruses,Actinidia virus A and Actinidia virus B;a citrivirus,Actinidia citrivirus;a novel emaravirus Actinidia chlorotic ringspots associated virus;a tospovirus,Tomato necrotic spot tospovirus;and a novel virus belonged to the family Closteroviridae.However,only few of them are documented in details.It largely remained unclear how these viruses can affect kiwifruit production.Most of these viruses are non special-ists infecting a wide range of hosts.They are easily transmissible via multiple ways,by grafting,vectors and mechanical transmission.Symptoms include vein clearing,necrotic ringspots,chlorotic mosaics and mottling on leaves,but can be latent or show no obvious symptoms.It has been reported that diseases induced by Cherry leaf roll virus and Pelargonium zonate spot virus cause severe damages on kiwifruit production in orchards.A group of viruses are kiwifruit adapted as they either infect kiwifruit only or to limited host range,such as Actinidia citrivirus,Actinidia virus A and Actinidia virus B,Actinidia chlorotic ringspots associated virus,Tomato necrotic spot tospovirus.By now,there are five viruses described in China,including Actinidia virus A,Actinidia virus B,Actinidia citrivirus,Tomato necrotic spot tospovirus and Actinidia chlorotic ringspots associated virus.Recently,we carried out a survey of virus infection of kiwifruit in Henan province.A total of 68 kiwifruit samples were tested by RT-PCR.Actinidia citrivirus was the only virus detected out of 13 viruses,with an incidence rate of 17.6%.Several diagnostic tools are used for virus detection,such as herbaceous indicators,electron microscopy,ELISA and RT-PCR.Herbaceous indicators are old fashioned method for virus detection which is easy to handle,but it usually takes long time to show symptoms.It is less accurate if infected plants are symptomless or virus infection is latent.ELISA has been applied for plants virus detection since 1970s,and now it commonly used for testing.This serologic method has high specificity which is more accurate and faster than the approach of herbaceous indicators.However,the main limitation for detecting by ELISA is a requirement of specific antibody against a particular virus.Nowadays,RT-PCR is more frequently used for virus detection,which is highly specific and sensitivity than ELISA.It also can be used for detection of viroids.China is one of the main producing countries of kiwifruits.Lack of understanding of kiwifruit viruses and their related diseases poses potential threats on kiwifruit industry.Future research should investigate the potential impacts of virus infection on kiwifruit industry and expand our knowledge of molecular mechanisms of virus infection and transmission.With rapid development of kiwifruit industry,we should raise awareness of kiwifruit viruses of growers which will help to increase understanding about the diseases in kiwifruit production.Establishment of rapid detection technology will further progress on research of kiwifruit viruses.Moreover,it is necessary to promote scientific and effective field management for improving disease control,which will minimise and prevent the spread of virus.There is a need of selecting varieties resistant to diseases,improving the quality of kiwifruits available on the market.These strategies should be implemented to ensure a safe,effective and sustainable development of kiwifruit industry which will bring social and economical benefits to our growers and consumers.In this review,it describes the viruses of kiwifruit and discusses their potential damages to kiwifruit production.This paper summarizes current research progress of viruses of kiwifruit in China,and finally reviews routine diagnostic tools commonly used for virus detection in kiwifruits.
[Objective]In order to obtain the knowledge of genetic variation and relationship of various cultivars in the genus Actinidia Lindl.,the pollen morphological characteristics of three Actinidia species were investigated.[Methods] Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe pollen morphology of thirty samples collected from three cultivated Actinidia species,A.deliciosa,A.chinensis and A.arguta.Parameters of pollen grains such as the length of polar axis,length of equatorial axis,length of colpus and width of colpus were measured and analyzed using an image software (Imagepro-Plus).[Results] The pollens of A.deliciosa,A.chinensis and A.arguta were in the form of a single grain,being prolate or perprolate.Only one sample ofA.deliciosa contained the prolate-shaped pollen grains whereas all samples of A.chinensis contained the perprolate-shaped pollen grains.A total of ten samples of A.arguta were included in this study,four of them contained the prolate-shaped pollen grains while others contained perprolateshaped pollen grains.Each pollen grain contained three colpi which elongated along the polar axis till they reached the ends.One or two colpi could be observed in the equatorial view,whereas all three corpi that were furrows in trifid circular could be seen in the polar view.The results of the measurements of A.deliciosa pollen grain were as follows:The length of colpus was 18.08-31.48 μm and the coefficient variation was 9.59%.The width of colpus was 4.65-11.42 μm and the coefficient variation was 12.40%.The length of polar axis was 21.54-36.05 μm and the coefficient variation was 7.6%.The length of equatorial axis was 9.60-17.66 μm and the coefficient variation was 10.01%.The ratio between the polar and the equatorial axis was 1.65-3.05 and the coefficient variation was 9.68%.The pollen size was 244.90-608.52 μm2 and the coefficient variation was 15.06%.The results of the measurements of A.chinensis pollen grain were as follows:The length of colpus was 14.09-24.96 μm and the coefficient variation was 14.00%.The width of colpus was 4.09-9.37 μm and the coefficient variation was 15.88%.The length of polar axis was 15.60-30.11 μm and the coefficient variation was 11.17%.The length of equatorial axis was 8.85-17.87 μm and the coefficient variation was 11.80%.The ratio between the polar and the equatorial axis was 1.26-2.65 and the coefficient variation was 9.93%.The pollen size was 182.58-443.18 μm2 and the coefficient variation was 21.52%.The results of the measurements of A.arguta pollen grain were as follows:the length of colpus was 16.34-30.06 μm and the coefficient variation was 11.62%.The width of colpus was 6.11-11.23 μm and the coefficient variation was 14.13%.The length of polar axis was 18.66-32.11 μm and the coefficient variation was 9.21%.The length of equatorial axis was 8.76-18.42 μm and the coefficient variation was 10.79%.The ratio between the polar and the equatorial axis was 1.33-2.68 and the coefficient variation was 10.90%.The pollen size was 166.62-547.07 μm2 and the coefficient variation was 16.70%.There are three types of surface ornamentation in Actinidia pollens.(1) The corrugated ornamentation was covered with a smooth surface composed of irregular strips.Sixteen samples showed corrugated ornamentation,which accounted for 53.33% of the total samples used in this study.Among them,five samples belonged to A.deliciosa,which accounted for 38.46% of A.deliciosa pollens.Five samples belonged to A.chinensis,which accounted for 71.43% of A.chinensis pollens.Seven samples belonged to A.arguta,which accounted for 70% of A.arguta pollens.(2) The pollen with warty ornamentation was covered by regular or irregular block like protrusions.The size of these protrusions was irregular.Eleven samples showed warty ornamentation,which accounted for 36.67% of all samples included in this study.Eight samples belonged to A.deliciosa,which accounted for 61.54% of A.deliciosa pollens.Two samples belonged to A.chinensis,which accounted for 10% of A.chinensis pollens.One sample belonged to A.arguta,which accounted for 10% ofA.arguta pollens.(3) The surface of pollens with granular ornamentation was distributed with particles or in the pattern of granules.Three samples showed granular ornamentation,which accounted for 10% of all samples included in this study.The samples with granular ornamentation belonged to A.arguta which was originated from the province of Heilongjiang.It accounted for 30% of A.arguta pollens.[Conclusion] There was a certain degree of conservation in pollen morphology and size of Actinidia pollens derived from the same species or environmental background.Overall,the pollen size of A.deliciosa was the largest among these species,followed by A.arguta and A.chinensis.The length the polar axis,length of equatorial axis,length of colpus and width of colpus,of A.chinensis were lower than those of A.deliciosa.Hence,the morphological differences of pollens between A.chinensis and A.deliciosa would provide some evidence for taxonomy of these species.
