Water deficiency was imposed with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 and the phosphorus (P) levels were controlled by complete Hoagland solution with and without P nutrient. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of P nutrition on root Lpr under water deficiency. The results showed that the Lpr in P deficiency treatments decreased markedly, but the Lpr recovered to the same value as that of control when sufficient P was supplied for 4-24 h. Water deficiency decreased Lpr, but the hydraulic conductivity of the roots with sufficient P supply was still higher than that of plants without P supply. When resuming water supply, the Lpr of the water-deficient plants under P supply recovered faster than that of plants without P supply, which indicates that plants with sufficient P nutrient are more drought tolerant and have a greater ability to recover after drought. The treatment of HgCl2 indicated that P nutrient could regulate the Lpr by affecting the activity and the expression levels of aquaporins.展开更多

[ Method ] The pure pathogenic fungus was isolated from ginseng B. cinerea collected in the field by tissue segregation and purification cultivation. Subsequently, using PDA medium plate culture method, the effect of various culture conditions on mycelium growth and sporulation of ginseng B. cinerea was detected. [ Result] The optimum temperature for mycelium growth and sporulation of B. cinerea was 25 ℃. The appropriate temperature for conidia germination ranged from 20 to 25 ℃. And the optimum pH value for mycelium growth and conidia germination was 6.0. The optimum carbon source was sucrose, followed by glucose and fructose. The optimum nitrogen source was peptone, fol- lowed by beef extract, yeast extract, alanine and ammonium nitrate. Among the media, the growth of mycelium cultured on PDA medium was the fastest with the production of gray mycelium and dense colonies. Lethal temperatures for sclerotia, mycelium and conidia were 60, 55 and 50 ℃, respectively. [ Conclusion] The study provided the scientific basis for the research on the incidence law of B. cinerea and its control.展开更多
