We used light microscope, scanning electron microscope and histochemical localization techniques to study the relations between secondary vascular tissue and the ecological adaptation of Populus euphratica. P.euphratica has many structural characteristics and tuber member characteristics, which are adapt to ecological environment. The ratio of secondary phloem with developed phloem fiber to secondary xylem is 1/7 in width, and much cells with rich protein distributed in parenchyma. Less vessels in large diameter, with thick wall and multiple-pore distributed in the wood arranged radially, as a result, the tubal complex, mainly multiple-pore, supplemented by tracheid or bundle tracheid, was formed in secondary xylem of P.euphratica’ stem, while the xylem ray remained or evolved into fibrous tracheid. There are mainly pitted vessels in stem, occasionally trapeziform-pitted type, and both type vessels are very short with truncatus and leveled-perforation. The characteristics descripted above can explain the evolution and adaptation of secondary vascular tissue and tuber members of P.euphratica in a specific habitat.

We set three plots of 40 m×40 m to study the stand spatial structure pattern at different successional stages of secondary forest with different densities of masson pine in Qiandao Lake, and took censusing of every individual and coordinate positioning. We compared and analyzed the main tree species and stand holistic spatial structure for three plots by using three structure parameters (mingling, neighborhood comparison, and uniform angle indexneighboring tree distribution pattern). The masson pine was the dominant species and presented an aggregating distribution at the No.1 plots, the rest tree species were basically scattered and the growth were seriously suppressed. Masson pine and blue Japanese oak were the dominant species and all presented an aggregating distribution at the No.2 plots, the other tree species were scattered and the growth were suppressed. Castanopsis sclerophylla significantly presented an aggregating distribution at the No.3 plots, the mingling of the whole stand was higher, the size differences of C.sclerophylla forest were small, the growth of forest was in the mean state, and the tall trees with absolute advantage lacked. The whole stand of three plots presented an aggregating distribution. The results suggested that the No.1 and No.2 plots were all in the initial stage of succession, and alternative cutting management was needed to accelerate the succession of stands. The No.3 plots had a succession with dominant C.sclerophylla evergreen broad-leaved forest, and it still would take time to be mature climax community.

Browning takes place generally in tissue culture of Juglans mandshurica Maxim. and influences the growth and proliferation of cultures. We established the regeneration system for axillary bud of J.mandshurica Maxim. and studied the factors influencing the browning of cultures by changing culture environment and adding anti-browning agents into the culture medium. The inducing rate of 1-2 year axillary bud as explant was 75.8%, significantly higher than those of 10 and 30 year axillary buds. Browning rate was 56.7%, which was significantly lower than the others. DKW+BA 2.0 mg·L^-1+IBA 0.1 mg·L^-1 culture medium reduced browning and promoted plant growth, and the browning rate was lowered by about 10%. Na₂S₂O₃ and AC effectively alleviated the browning, while the alleviated effect of PVP and VC on browning was not significant. Fiveday dark treatment after inoculation delayed browning time, and the browning rate reduced by about 10%. Adding 6 g·L^-1 agar in culture medium resulted in browning rate of 56.7%. After subculture on DKW+BA 2.0 mg·L^-1+IBA 0.01 mg·L^-1 culture medium, the proliferation coefficient of seedlings was 14.4, and the seedling height was 2.33 cm. There was no significant difference between subculture cycles of 21 and 28 days, and a subculture cycle of 21-28 days was suitable for proliferation culture.

We studied the response of photosynthetic physiological characteristics of three poplar clone seedlings to NaCl stress with three kinds of poplar(Populus L.) clones of poplar(Populus L.) clone seedlings including ‘A5’(Populus pseudo-simonii×P.nigra)×(P.simonii×P.nigra), ‘J7’(P.deltoidis×P.catyana CL.‘J7’) and ‘1344’(P.deltoids×P.cathayana CL.‘1344’) in Heilongjiang Province. Three NaCl stress treatments were established at the contents of 0.3%, 0.5% and 0.7% (percentage of NaCl in total dry soil mass). The salt injury symptoms first appeared in ‘1344’ under NaCl stress, followed by ‘J7’ and ‘A5’. Furthermore, under the same NaCl content, the maximum damage due to NaCl stress also occurred first in ‘1344’, followed by ‘J7’ and ‘A5’. The mean tree diameter at breast height and total tree height differed signi?cantly under three NaCl stress treatments. Moreover, the difference between three NaCl stress treatments gradually become bigger, which was 10%-35% lower than the control treatment during the late period of this experiment. With the increase of NaCl, the chlorophyll content decreased, with the decrease in ‘J7’ being much more obvious than in ‘A5’ and ‘1344’. With the increase of NaCl, the content of carotenoid in ‘A5’ increased, and ‘J7’ and ‘1344’ decreased. Chlorophyll b content under 0.3% NaCl stress in ‘A5’ and ‘1344’ was higher than that in the control, while the ‘A5’ chlorophyll b content under the 0.5% and 0.7% NaCl stress levels were in contrast not significantly different, but ‘1344’ under 0.3% and 0.5% NaCl stress levels was significantly higher than that in the control and the 0.7% NaCl stress level. ‘J7’ showed no significant difference when compared with the 0.3% NaCl stress, but was higher than the 0.5% and 0.7% levels. The photosynthesis of the clone seedlings reduced due to the NaCl stress. The G_s and C_i of the leaves decreased with the increase of the salt, while the L_s mainly decreased. One possible explanation for the phenomenon in this study may be that the photosynthetic physiology was greatly influenced by stomatal limitation and non-stomatal limitation. The WUE of three poplar seedlings under NaCl was maintained at a higher level, which may suggest that these poplar seedlings have a strong resistance to NaCl stress. Therefore, ‘A5’ had the strongest salt-tolerant ability among these three clones.

We studied the main factors with different levels for morphological after-ripening of Magnolia sieboldii seeds through repeated experiments with multi factorial. When the seeds of M.sieboldii were treated by soaking in the mixed solutions with 1.30-1.40 mg·L^-1 6-BA and 2.00-2.20 mg·L^-1 2,4-D for three days, mixing the seeds and sand (1∶4), with temperature change in 100-114 d, 18±2℃ and 8h in day, 7±2℃ and 16 h in night, the incidence rate of the heart-shape embryo was 97.8%, the incidence rate of the embryo with cotyledons was 95.6%, and the germination rate of seed was 98.0%. The morphological after-ripening of seed of M.sieboldii is suitable for industrial seedlings of M.sieboldii.

We studied 49 six-year Betula platyphylla progeny testing forest families to determine their growth and wood traits in Maoershan Experimental Forest, and selected the superior families of B.platyphylla by using continuous selection and index selection of growth and wood traits. There were very significant variations in height, diameter at breast height (DBH), volume per plant and preservation rate within the families. By the multiple comparison of four growth traits, we selected five superior families and three inferior superior families. By variance analysis for the wood traits of eight superior families, there were significant differences in wood basic density, content of ligin and holocellulose except fiber length. We constructed index equations using selection index and selected I₂ as the idealist multi-trait index equation, and determined the families for pulpwood production of 655, 604 and 630.

We cloned a new bHLH transcription factor named TcMYC by RT-PCR technology from Taxus chinensis var. mairei, with GenBank accession number KC878013. By the Blast analysis, it belongs to MYC subgroup. By the bioinformatic analysis, the sequences length of TcMYC is 1 959 bp encoding one opening reading frame with 650 amino acid residues with hydrophilic property. The molecular weight of TcMYC is 71.4 kD, and the theoretical pI is 4.87. The predicated protein TcMYC is localized to cell nucleus, as well as contained one helix-loop-helix structure. By Blast and multiple sequences alignment analysis, TcMYC shares 98%, 45% and 44% identity with Taxus cuspidata, Vitis vinifera and Nicotiana tabacum, respectively. The constructed tree shows that the MYC transcription factors of the plants belonging to the same family clustered together, and as Taxus is a gymnosperms plant, TcMYC and TaMYC are not clustered with other angiosperms plants. The expression of TcMYC is a little declined in Methyl jasmonate induced Taxus cell culture. TcMYC may regulate Taxol biosynthesis in negative.

We constructed a suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) library for the early response genes in wheat Brock under Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici(Bgt) stress by using the cDNA from Bgt-inoculated Brock leaf as the tester and the cDNA from Bgt-uninoculated Brock leaf as the driver. Fifty positive clones were picked randomly and sequenced, 38 redundant sequences were acquired. By sequence comparison against the GenBank database, 28 sequences was homolog of known genes. The transcriptional levels were assayed by fluorescence quantitative PCR, and the ABC transporter, serine/threonine protein kinase, Lr1 gene-related protein, Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase and Chlorophyll a/b binding protein were involved in the early response to Bgt stress in wheat cultivar Brock. Our work was useful for the powdery mildew resistance mechanism in wheat.

Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) was employed to study the genetic analysis and genetic distance (GD) among 48 clones in Populus L. Sixteen polymorphism markers produced 81 alleles (size ranged from 100-600 bp) totally. GD ranged from 0.061 7-0.530 9 among 48 poplar clones with the average of 0.250 4. GD ranged from 0.148 2-0.274 1 between inter-section and from 0.330 2-0.401 2 between different sections. By cluster analysis, 48 clones were clustered into 5 groups at 0.70, of which the clones divided into 5 section (sect.Leuce; sect.Aigeiros; sect.Tacamahaca; sect.Leucoides and sect.Turanga) clearly. Genetic distance of different section of Populus by molecular method can provide theoretical basis for cross breeding and molecular breeding in poplar.

ICE1 encodes a MYC-like bHLH transcriptional activator, which could specially bind to active domain of CBF3 promoter and induce transcriptal expression of cold-responsive genes downstream of CBF3, play important roles in stress response. A 1 247 bp sequence of PnsICE1 promoter was cloned from DNA of Populus simonii×P.nigra by PCR amplification method. By sequence analysis, it consisted of a typical core promoter region of eukaryotic, beside the basic elements: TATA-box and CAAT-box, and there were some hormone responsive elements and multiple stress-induced elements of ABRE, DOFCOREZM, MYBCORE, MYCCONSENSUSATHSE and W-box. PnsICE1 promoter may associated with adversity stress and play important roles in response to various stresses in P.simonii×P.nigra. To verify the biology function, recombinant vector was designated as pBI121-ICEPro through replacing CaMV35S promoter in pBI121 by cloned PnsICE1 promoter fragment. In the vector, gus reporter gene was driven by PnsICE1 promoter. GUS histochemical assay in Arabidopsis thaliana after transient infection showed that gus expressed in both flower and root.

We established 50 seed rain traps in a 5 hm² forest plot in Baishanzu National Natural Reserve to study the composition and temporal dynamics of seed rain in community of Baishanzu broad-leaved evergreen forest. We collected seeds and fruits twice a month during 2009-2012, then identified and divided into four types, including mature fruit, immature fruit, young fruit and seed, and counted by types. During the four-year research period, we collected 13 627 fruits and 10 132 seeds, including 5 632 mature fruits accounting for 41.33%, belonging to 47 species, 30 genuses and 16 families. Six dominant species' mature fruits took a comparatively low rate in total fruit number of that species, showing the feature of r-stratagem in Grime's theory. There was no significant correlation (P>0.05) between the important value of the dominant species in the plot and their seed density, indicating the different conditions between seed rain and life history pattern afterwards. The asynchrony in seed rain dispersal peak time can relieve interspecific competition and increase species co-existence. The seed rain density of dominant species, except Schima superba and Cyclobalanopsis multinervis, showed obvious interannual variability.

As the most widely distributed Mycorrhizal type, arbuscular mycorrhizal plays a very important role in plant growth and environmental improvement. Many studies confirmed that the arbuscular mycorrhizal can affect the process of plant secondary metabolism, and change the secondary metabolites. We screened three kinds of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungis, and chose three different sources of amur cork seedings as the research object in the inoculation experiment. By combining the different species and different kinds of sources, we explored the impact of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on the growth and alkaloid content of amur cork and its difference among different provenances. The growth and the alkaloid content of amur cork with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungis are better than those of the control group. The mycorrhizal fungi can effectively promote the growth of amur cork and the accumulation of alkaloid content. Overall, it is the Glomus mosseae that affects the content of berberine and jatrorrhizine mostly, and for palmatine it is Glomus intraradices. From the experimental results, there is difference among provenances in the impact on alkaloid with arbuscular mycorrhizal, and the difference may be related to the provenance.

In the burned area of Betula platyphylla and Larix gmelinii forests shortly after the fire in Yichun, we used the chloroform fumigation extraction method to examine the content of soil microbial biomass carbon(C_mic) and soil microbial biomass nitrogen(N_mic) from the two forest types in different months(June, August, October and December). We explored the relationship between C_mic and N_mic, and the influencing factors including soil water content, soil pH, soil temperature, soil organic carbon and soil total nitrogen after the fire. The overall mean C_mic of the burned plots was lower than that in the unburned plots, and the overall mean N_mic was increased after the fire in B.platyphylla. Compared with the unburned plots, C_mic had no significant effect in different months shortly after the fire, the mean C_mic in June, August, October and December in the burned plots(unburned plots) was 1 389.6(1247.2), 886.7(759.0), 1 098.9(1 052.6) and 1 421.4(1 749.7) mg·kg^-1, respectively, yet the N_mic was significant higher than that in the unburned plots in June, August and October with the mean N_mic of 214.5(143.4), 101.9(67.5), 119.6(89.4) and 150.2(183.3) mg·kg^-1, respectively. The soil microbial biomass was positively correlated to the soil water content, and N_mic was influenced by soil pH significantly. Compared with the unburned plots, the overall mean C_mic and N_mic of the burned plots were lower than those in L.gmelini. The soil microbial biomass had no significant effect throughout different months of L.gmelinii. The mean C_mic in June, August, October and December in the burned plots(unburned plots) was 689.7(695.9), 612.3(910.4), 361.6(474.7) and 1288.5(1353.8) mg·kg^-1, respectively, and the mean N_mic was 105.7(124.4), 91.4(111.4), 44.0(76.9) and 118.9(134.5) mg·kg^-1, respectively. C_mic and N_mic were significantly positively correlated with soil water content, but negatively with soil pH. The overall mean soil pH ,soil organic carbon and soil total nitrogen of the burned plots were higher than the unburned plots, yet oil water content was decreased in Betula platyphylla. The overall mean soil pH ,soil organic carbon and soil total nitrogen of the burned plots were lower than that in the unburned plots, however, soil water content was increased after the fire in L.gmelinii.

We used young-age Poplar-birch stands to set three thinning treatments level to collect litter decomposition rate, carbon storage of soil Layer A and Layer B and soil respiration rate, analyzed the effect of differ thinning treatments of soil carbon storage, and discussed the theory of impact of soil carbon accumulation. Thinning was helpful to the accumulation and decomposition of forest litter, leaf litter decomposition weightlessness rate average size of T₂>T₀>T₁, but at the end of litter decomposition T₁ intensity carbon to release a quantity was the largest, 34.73% of the total weight before decomposition, higher than T₀ and T₂. Different thinning intensity was not significant effect on soil carbon content in each layer, but has a tendency to increase forest soil carbon, T₁ thinning intensity of soil total carbon storage is largest and it’s Layer A of soil total carbon ratio reached 80.95%, higher than T₀ and T₂. The regression of the soil respiration rate and soil temperature relationship was not significant, but thinning changed the soil temperature with the increase of thinning intensity, and soil respiration rate had a tendency to reduce. Different thinning of sensitivity of soil respiration rate of soil temperature was different, Q10 value for T₁<T₂<T₀. Thinning accelerated the decomposition of forest litter accumulation and had a tendency to reduce the soil respiration rate, so the appropriate intensity of tending thinning achieved the aim to increase the forest carbon fixed amount.

We investigated the role of Ca²⁺ in the MeJA-induced biosynthesis of triterpenoid by treating suspending cells of Betula platyphylla with CaCl₂, MeJA and combining with inhibitors of Ca²⁺. MeJA could promote the synthesis of total triterpenes and oleanolic acid in the cells significantly, which, respectively reached the peak of 46.90 and 1.31 mg·g^-1 after 48 hours’ treatment. The induction effect of MeJA decreased after treating by MeJA+EGTA and MeJA+LaCl₃·7H₂O. The accumulation amount of oleanolic acid were still higher than that of the control. By analyzing the activity of defense enzyme, the activities of CAT, PAL, APX were enhanced after treated by CaCl₂ and MeJA+CaCl₂, while the SOD was inhibited by Ca²⁺. After adding two inhibitors of Ca²⁺, all enzymes were effected significantly. The expression of key enzyme genes in the triterpene pathway such as FPS, SS, SE, BPW, BPY BPX2 was significantly upregulated after two hours’ MeJA treatment. The expression of BPW was reduced after two hours’ treating with MeJA+LaCl₃·7H₂O. The expression of BPY, BPX2, SS and SE regulated by MeJA+LaCl₃·7H₂O were higher than those treated by MeJA. Meanwhile the expression of BPW, BPX2, SS, SE and FPS were down-regulated at two hours after MeJA+EGTA treatment compared with MeJA treatment.

We optimized the polysaccharide extraction from the peony pod and studied its antioxidant activity. By single factor design, we identified extraction parameters of particle size of material, extraction temperature, extraction time, liquid-solid ratio and final concentration of ethanol in precipitation step. A 3-factor, 3-level central composite design involving three independent variables followed by response surface analysis was performed for the further optimization of the extraction parameters. The optimal extraction conditions were 60-80 mesh of particle size, extraction temperature of 100℃, extraction time of 40 min, liquid-solid ratio of 20 mL·g^-1, and precipitated ethanol with the final concentration of 80%. Under these conditions, the predicted and experimental extraction yields of pod polysaccharides were 8.76% and 8.77%, respectively. The antioxidant capacity of pod polysaccharide was determined by DPPH and reducing activity. The pod polysaccharide has the antioxidant capacity.

Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge, belonging to the family Sapindaceae, is one of the most valuable oil trees widely distributed in northern China. We studied the lipid accumulation and its relationship with carbohydrates and protein in developing X.sorbifolia seeds. Seed development can be divided into stage Ⅰ from flowering to 33 days after anthesis(d), stage Ⅱ(34-47 d), stage Ⅲ(48-68 d) and stage Ⅳ(69 d to maturity) based on morphological traits combined with weight measurements. Oil bodies were first observed in the green embryo at around 33 d. Rapid lipid accumulation commenced at around 40 d and continued to 68 d. The long period of rapid lipid accumulation contributes to a high lipid level in the mature embryo (60% of dry mass). Differences in the accumulation patterns of lipid, carbohydrates and protein indicate that the lipid synthesis is achieved largely by soluble sugar directly from the photosynthesis of source leaves rather than transiently accumulated starch, and the lipid and protein accumulation are independent processes in the developing embryo. We detected six fatty acids in the developing embryo. Among them, oleic and linoleic acid dominated the lipid composition, but they exhibited contrasting accumulation patterns.

We studied the effects of three submersed macrophytes of Hydrilla verticillata, Ceratophyllum demersum L. and Myriophyllum verticillatum L. on eutrophication water under different nutrition conditions. Three submersed macrophytes eliminated total nitrogen(TN) and total phosphorus(TP) effectively in water. The eliminate capacity for TN from high to low was H.verticillata, C.demersum L. and M.verticillatum L., and for TP the order was H.verticillata, M.verticillatum L. and C.demersum L.. Therefore, the submersed macrophytes is a significant method to reconstruct the eutrophic water ecosystem, and H.verticillata is a good purifying plant in eutrophic water.

In cold resistance appraisal of fine varieties hybrid hazelnut leaves, stems, axillary bud cotyledons, we studied various treatments on cold resistance hybrid hazelnut micro-propagation system with different culture medium, hormones and contents. By using ten tissue cultures of a fine varieties hardiness of F1 hybrid varieties, we selected the effect of three superior varieties 84 226, 84 310, 84 253. By using three culture medium of DKW, MS and WPM, WPM was more suitable for cold resistance hazelnut callus induction medium, and MS was the most suitable medium culture propagation. The basic training callus induction based formulations was cultured in WPM+6-BA 2.0 mg·L^-1+NAA 1.5 mg·L^-1, and axillary bud propagation was in MS in good condition with the hormone of 6-BA 1.5 mg·L^-1+NAA 0.1 mg·L^-1. Our study can be used in cold resistance of hybrid hazelnut low coefficient, and can provide a theoretical basis for further industrial production plantlets.

Catharanthus roseus root enrichment ability of Zn is stronger on exogenous zinc stress, so Zn damage to the root is larger. C.roseus root response to enrichment ability of zinc stress on the absorption of Zn with the concentration of Zn increased exhibit advanced in low concentration but controled in high concentration, Zn content of stem, leaves increased gradually with increasing Zn concentration, shows strong enrichment ability of C.roseus for Zn, and there is some potential hyperaccumulator. While the Zn transport ability is strong from mature tissue to young tissues. In the zinc stress based on adding exogenous ethylene, reducing the organization position of plant enrichment ability of Zn, reducing the zinc stress of C.roseus. To promote the Zn transport rate of mature tissue to young tissue, but inhibited Zn transport in C.roseus other tissue.
