摘要:

于2005~2006年在江苏南京农业大学卫岗试验站进行盆栽试验, 设置正常灌水(土壤含水量为田间持水量的75%左右)和棉花(Gossypium hirsutum)花铃期土壤短期干旱处理(将正常灌水的棉花自然干旱持续8 d, 以棉株出现萎蔫症状为标准, 之后复水至正常灌水水平), 每个处理再设置3个氮素水平(0、3.73、7.46 g N·pot-1, 分别相当于0、240、480 kg N·hm-2), 研究氮素对花铃期干旱及复水后棉花根系生长的影响。结果表明, 花铃期干旱条件下, 土壤相对含水量迅速减少, 并随氮素水平的提高而降低。在干旱处理结束时, 与正常灌水处理相比, 干旱处理棉花根重与氮素累积量显著降低, 但干物质根冠比(R/S)与氮素累积量根冠比(RN/SN)增大; 根系超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化物酶(POD)活性明显升高, 而过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性降低, 同时, 丙二醛(MDA)含量相应增大。花铃期短期干旱亦显著降低棉花根系活力与叶片净光合速率。施氮可提高干旱处理棉花根重与氮素累积量, 降低SOD活性, 增强POD与CAT活性, 但以240 kg N·hm-2水平最有利于根系生长, 其内在生理机制表现为R/S与RN/SN最小, 膜脂过氧化程度最低, 而根系活力最强, 其叶片的净光合速率亦最高。复水后, 干旱处理棉花根重与氮素累积量显著高于正常灌水处理; 内源保护酶活性相应变化, 其根系MDA含量与正常灌水处理已无显著差异; 根系活力显著高于正常灌水处理。施氮有助于增加复水后棉花根重与氮素累积量, 提高POD与CAT活性, 降低膜脂过氧化程度, 增强棉花根系活力, 从而提高叶片净光合速率。综合分析认为, 过量施氮或施氮不足均不利于棉花根系生长, 两年的试验结果表明, 在本试验设置的3个氮素水平中, 花铃期干旱胁迫下以240 kg N·hm-2, 且基施50%, 初花期追施50%较适宜。

Abstract:

Aim Our objective was to study effects of nitrogen on drought resistance in terms of changes in root development and activity of water-stressed cotton plants.

Methods We studied short-term water stress using pot experiments by withholding water for eight days and then watering for ten days at Nanjing Agricultural University in 2005 and 2006. Cotton plants were grown at three nitrogen levels (0, 240 and 480 kg N·hm-2).

Important findings Soil relative water content decreased with increasing N supply during the soil water stress period, while dry matter production and N accumulation increased. The root/shoot ratio and root-N/ shoot-N ratio increased with water stress and were smallest at 240 kg N·hm-2. Application of N increased the activities of peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) of roots, but decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity during water stress as well as during recovery. Malondialdehyde (MDA) content significantly (p<0.05) increased and was smallest in the 240 kg N·hm-2 treatment during water stress. On the 10th day after soil watering, MDA content at 240 kg N·hm-2was similar to that at 480 kg N·hm-2, but was less than that at 0 kg N·hm-2. Root vigor, which was adversely affected by water stress, was highest at 240kg N·hm-2. After soil watering, N application promoted root vigor. Trends of net photosynthetic rate were the same as those of root vigor during water stress. These results suggest that appropriate N supply (240 kg N·hm-2 in this investigation) may contribute to drought resistance of cotton plants by adjusting the antioxidant enzyme activities of roots, decreasing lipid peroxidation and boosting root vigor during water stress; however, excessive N supply (480 kg N·hm-2) had a deleterious effect on plant drought resistance.
