[Method] Through indoor bioassay method, the inhibition effects of culture filtrates of seven species of plant disease fungi on seed germination and seedling growth of M. micrantha were studied, and the security of P. heveae culture filtrate on pepper (Capsicum annuum) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) was also evaluated. [Result] The culture filtrates of P. heveae had strong inhibition effects on seed germination and the growth of root, shoot and seedling of M. micrantha, and the inhibition rates were 72.7%, 93.0%, 32.4%, and 54.6% (fresh weight), respectively. Security tests showed that culture filtrates of P. heveae were safe to seed germination and root and shoot growth of tomato, and the growth rate had no significant difference with control, but they inhibited seed germination of pepper. [Conclusion] As potential biological herbicide, the culture filtrate and metabolites of P. heveae is worthy of further development. .展开更多

Arg. was investigated ...The relationship between the effect of exogenous jasmonic acid (JA) on the induction of secondary laticifer differentiation and the distribution of JA in the seedling of Hevea brasiliensis Mull. Arg. was investigated with the aid of experimental morphological and radioisotope technique. Most radioactivity of H-3-JA sustained in treated site within one hour while no radioactivity was detected in new shoot and the radioactivity in upper leaf was much less than that in the parts below the treated site, suggesting that JA was mainly transported downwards in the shoot of H brasiliensis. Mechanical wounding hindered the entrance of exogenous JA remarkably while held back the entered JA to the regions around wounded site. The effect of exogenous JA and mechanical wounding on the induction of the secondary laticifer differentiation was limited to treated site where high level of JA was expected. Mechanical wounding reduced the effect of exogenous JA on the differentiation of secondary laticifer, which could be ascribed to the hindrance of mechanical wounding to the entrance of exogenous JA. It was concluded from the combined data that a high accumulation of JA was required for inducing the secondary laticifer differentiation in H. brasiliensis.展开更多

[Method]The situs was in Danzhou city,western region of Hainan Island,and the samples were four kinds of rubber plantations soil at different ages and one kind of control check (pepper,Piper nigrum L.) soil. In this research,four quadrats were set up in each sample,and the size of each was 20 cm×20 cm. Four specimens were gathered from four layers of 0-15,15-30,30-45,45-60,and the average of them was the last analysis result of each sample. Soil density was measured by cutting ring method,soil containing and hygroscopic water was detected by oven drying method,soil organic carbon (SOC) was measured by low temperature heated outside potassium dichromate oxidation-colorimetry method,and soil total nitrogen (STN) was detected by semimicro Kjeldahl method. [Result]SOC contents of different layers in rubber plantations soil at different age stages (including the CK pepper soil,the same as below) varied little,and the content of SOC in surface layer (0-15 cm) was higher,while the underlayer (45-60 cm) was lower than the average value; there was significant difference in SOC content among different kinds of soil,and the content was of 6.03-7.78 g/kg,tapping young trees (7 years) CK pepper mature age trees (30 years) prophase of young trees (2 years) tapping trees (16 years); there was no significant difference in SOC storage among different kinds of soil,and the storage was of 61.33-74.29 t/hm2,mature age trees (30 years) tapping young trees (7 years) prophase of young trees (2 years) CK pepper tapping trees (16 years); there was significant difference in STN content among rubber plantations soil at different age stages,the content was of 410.86-664.14 mg/kg2,CK pepper tapping young trees (7 years) prophase of young trees (2 years) mature age trees (30 years) tapping trees (16 years),and STN content of tapping trees (16 years) soil was extremely lowest; there was significant difference in C/N ratio among different kinds of soil,the ratio was of 10.94-14.47,and the ratio of tapping trees (16 years) mature age trees (30 years) tapping young trees (7 years) CK pepper prophase of young trees (2 years). [Conclusion]There wasn't unhealthy effect of rubber trees planted in tropical area on the content and storage of SOC,the content of STN and the ratio of C/N. there was no significant difference between rubber plantations and CK pepper soil,and the effects of rubber plantation on soil carbon-nitrogen was similar to that of other tropical crops (such as pepper).展开更多

Arg. Two forms of the inclusions could be distinguished under the electron microscope, each in separate lutoids. As revealed by SDS-PAGE, the 59.5 kD and 63.5 kD proteins were the major components of the microfibrillar protein purified by isoeleettic point precipitation. Western-blotting analysis indicated that they were immunorelated with the 67 kD protein accumulated in the protein-storing cells. The 59.5 kD and 63.5 kD proteins were abundant in the uppermost part, the stem of new shoot and sustained their abundance during the growth and development of new shoot while their contents decreased remarkably in the lower parts of the trunk, accompanying by the accumulation of 3-5 kinds of proteins with low molecular weights. This fluctuating pattern suggested that the degradation of the 59.5 kD and 63.5 kD proteins had nothing to do with the new shoot growth and may be closely related to the primary laticifer differentiation. The 67 kD protein could not be detected in the young stem of new shoot when its leaves were broze-colored while the protein started to be accumulated in the stem, when the leaves of new shoot had matured, behaving like a typical vegetative storage protein.展开更多

The results showed that there was no significant correlation between rubber yield and ethylene concentration applied by microtapping on PR107. Too high level of ethylene was not conducive to improvement of rubber yield. When the ethylene concentration for micro-tapping was higher than60%, physical deficiencies appeared in rubber tree PR107, the dry rubber content was reduced, and the yield was unstable. Instead, when the ethylene concentration was lower than 40%, the physiological features of PR107 were steady, the dry rubber content was stable, and the yield was relatively high.展开更多

Aiming to elucidate the molecular mechanism of tapping panel dryness occurrence, this study carried out molecular cloning and bioinformatical analysis of a mRPL21 cDNA sequence, a gene associated with TPD. [Method] In a preliminary study, an expressed sequence tag (EST) encoding a deduced protein homologous to mitochondrial 50S ribosomal protein L21 (mRPL21), which showed to be down-regulated in the latex of TPD-affected rubber trees, was isolated by suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH). After ESTs assembling and RT-PCR validation, an 853 bp cDNA sequence with an open reading frame (ORF) was cloned, which was named as HbmRPL21 under GenBank accession number of HM230670. [Result] Bioinformatical analysis suggests that HbmRPL21 encodes a deduced polypeptide of 271 amino acids with a theoretical molecular weight (Mw) of 30.52 kDa and isolectric point (pI) of 8.40, and HbmRPL21 is a mitochondrion-targeted protein with a conserved domain of Ribosomal_L21p involving translation. Homology analysis reveals high amino acid sequence identity of mRPL21 from plants, while diversity of that between plant and animal kingdom. [Conclusion] This study laid the basis for further revealing the biological functions of mRPL21 in TPD-affected rubber trees.展开更多

The constructed cDNA library was high integrity through detection of the critical processes of SSH, such as efficiency of adaptor connection, subtraction and conversion, as well as the type of recombinant genes. The positive rate was 99% after identification with random 400 white spots. The size of the cDNA clone inserted fragments was various but most in 400 bp - 1000 bp. There were 23 cDNA sequences matching the function of energy and basic metabolism, signal transduction, membrane and transport, secondary metabolism and so on after detection of the 42 positive clone sequences selected randomly from the cDNA library and comparison on nucleic acid sequences in Genbank. 7 ESTs were logged in Genbank and accession numbers were GW873071 and GW874604- GW874610. The results implicated that BTH could effectively induced rubber tree resistance to powdery mildew through increasing expresses of defense-related genes in leaves of rubber tree susceptible clone. It should provide a new approach for rubber disease management.展开更多
