The allelopathic effects of fescue (Festuca arundinacea) variety ‘Milennium’ 2 leaf aqueous extracts on 10 fescue varieties were assayed. The 50 mg·ml-1 treatment increased the biomass and physiological indices (soluble sugar content, malondialdehyde content and root activity), whereas the 100 mg·ml-1 and 150 mg·ml-1 treatments were inhibitory. There was variable response of fescue varieties to different treatments, the varieties (Aries, Millennium2, and Free star) were most sensitive to the leaf extracts, while Greenlabel, Lenge maste, and Arid3 varieties were least sensitive. The treatments most affected the physiological factor, relative electrolyte leakage, followed by the soluble sugar content, malondialdehyde content, and root activity. These results suggested that sowing an appropriate combination and proportion of grass varieties may be better to improve the lawn quality than the continuous use of a single grass variety.

AbstractRemediation of soils contaminated by mechanical oil has become a difficult problem worldwide. In this study, soil contaminated by mechanical oil was repaired by domestication and inoculation of microorganisms collected from the contaminated site, and soil quality and plant growth indexes were evaluated to verify the efficacy of our solvent extraction–indigenous microbial degradation technology. Solvent extraction of the contaminated soil removed 97.03% mechanical oil, increased soil water-holding capacity by 68.20%, and improved root activity and soluble sugar content of alfalfa plants. However, solvent extraction depleted 82.98% of the soil organic matter. Screening and domestication of strain TB-6 from the contaminated site revealed that it is anEnterobacterwith obvious degradation effects on petroleum hydrocarbons (C15–C28). After the solvent-extracted soil was inoculated with TB-6 for 30 days, the soil structure became loose; degradation rate of residual mechanical oil was 19.45%; and soil organic matter content, water-holding capacity, alfalfa root activity, and soluble sugar content increased by 35.00%, 9.01%, 44.60%, and 7.03%, respectively. These results indicate that TB-6 has a good repairing effect on the soil after solvent extraction, and the combined technology efficiently removed mechanical oil from the soil and reduced the damage caused by the solvent.

In order to know the key factors of callus development on single cell clone, characteristics of physiology and biochemistry and morphological structure on two types of Alfalfa callus was studied. The results showed that the cell membrane permeability and malondialdehyde content was same on two types of callus; but, their soluble sugar content and peroxidase activity in cells was larger different, the soluble sugar content: soft callus > huge callus, and soft callus was 2.09 times of huge callus; peroxidase activity: huge callus > soft callus, and huge callus was 1.35 times of soft callus. Huge callus cells were larger, loosely arranged, cell vacuolization and cytoplasm was thinner than soft callus. However, soft callus cells were smaller, loosely arranged, cell vacuoles was smaller and cytoplasm was thicker than hug callus. Huge cells had the same membrane metabolic with soft cells, but soft cells had higher sugar accumulation than huge cells, and soft cells metabolism are vigorous, while huge cells are more aging.

In this article, we studied to different concentrations of MCPA to creeping bentgrass Growth. Through the creeping bentgrass in four different periods of chlorophyll content, MDA and soluble sugar content determination. This test result showed:With the MCPA concentration increases, creeping bentgrass decline of chlorophyll content in the same period of growth, MDA and soluble sugar content increased. MCPA used after the early pair of creeping bentgrass growth is large, to put off with MCPA handle time, to affect to creeping bentgrass growth is gradually decreased.

Cold stress is a key factor limiting resource use in bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon). Under cold stress, bermudagrass growth is severely inhibited and the leaves undergo chlorosis. Therefore, rigorous investigation on the physiological and molecular mechanisms of cold stress in this turf species is urgent. The objective of this study was to investigate the physiological and molecular alteration in wild bermudagrass under cold stress, particularly the changes of transpiration rate, soluble sugar content, enzyme activities, and expression of antioxidant genes. Wild bermudagrass (C. dactylon) was planted in plastic pots (each 10 cm tall and 8 cm in diameter) filled with matrix (brown coal soil:sand 1:1) and treated with 4 °C in a growth chamber. The results displayed a dramatic decline in the growth and transpiration rates of the wild bermudagrass under 4 °C temperature. Simultaneously, cold severely destabilized the cell membrane as indicated by increased malondialdehyde content and electrolyte leakage value. Superoxide dismutase and peroxidase activities were higher in the cold regime than the control. The expression of antioxidant genes including MnSOD, Cu/ZnSOD, POD, and APX was vividly up-regulated after cold stress. In summary, our results contributed to the understanding of the role of the antioxidant system in bermudagrass’ response to cold.

Commercial strawberries are mainly propagated using daughter plants produced on aerial runners because asexual propagation is faster than seed propagation, and daughter plants retain the characteristics of the mother plant. This study was conducted to investigate the effective factors for runner induction, as well as the molecular mechanisms behind the runner induction. An orthogonal test with 4 factors (photoperiod, temperature, gibberellin, and 6-benzyladenine), each with 3 levels was performed. Proteins were also extracted from the crowns with or without runners and separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis. The results of the orthogonal test showed that a long-day (LD) environment was the most influential factor for the runner formation, and 50 mg·L−1 of 6-BA significantly increased the number of runners. A proteomic analysis revealed that 32 proteins were differentially expressed (2-fold, p < 0.05) in the strawberry crowns with and without runners. A total of 16 spots were up-regulated in the crowns with runners induced by LD treatment. Identified proteins were classified into seven groups according to their biological roles. The most prominent groups were carbohydrate metabolism and photosynthesis, which indicated that the carbohydrate content may increase during runner formation. A further analysis demonstrated that the soluble sugar content was positively correlated with the number of runners. Thus, it is suggested that the photoperiod and 6-BA break the dormancy of the axillary buds and produce runners by increasing the soluble sugar content in strawberry.

A pot experiment was conducted to study the effects of different biochar types [addition of rape straw biochar (RB), addition of paddy straw biochar (PB), addition of wheat straw biochar (WB) and addition of corn straw biochar (MB)] on the soluble sugar content and plant height of peach seedlings. The result showed that the soluble sugar content in roots and leaves of peach seedlings treated with biochar was lower than the control. However, the soluble sugar content in stems was higher than control compared with the control. In the soluble sugar content in the aboveground part, there was no significant difference between the treatment of adding biochar and the control except for the treatment of PB. All the treatment of adding biochar increased the plant height of peach seedlings except the treatment of MB than the control and the treatment of RB and PB were at a higher level. Compared to control, all biochar addition treatments increased stem diameter of peach seedlings and the treatment of RB and PB were at a higher level. Therefore, the treatment of RB and PB was beneficial to the growth of peach seedlings.
