Cotyledon Expansion

Low temperature or low light intensity following germination of Pinusresinosa seeds greatly suppressed subsequent seedling development, with cotyledon expansion inhibited more than root expansion. A strong influence of shoot environment early in ontogeny was demonstrated on initiation of all but a few early-formed primary needle primordia and on expansion of all primary needles, including those formed early. Low temperatures or low light intensities during the cotyledon stage of development prevented initiation of most of the normal complement of primary needles. However, when seedlings were placed in a favorable environment following prolonged exposure to low temperature or low light intensity, primordia of primary needles formed readily and subsequently expanded. Following seed germination, the young seedling is a system of competing carbohydrate sinks. Early development of the seedling is an integrated continuum with the source of growth requirements shifting during ontogeny, from megagametophytes to cotyledons, to primary needles, to secondary needles. The importance of cotyledons and primary needles to early seedling development is emphasized.

Race 4A of Melampsora medusae Thum. produces an incompatible reaction on Populus deltoides Marsh. cv. W-79/307 when incubated at high temperature and low light intensity (26 °C and 100 μE∙m−2∙s−1) or low temperature and high light intensity (17 °C and 700 μE∙m−1∙s−1), but a compatible one at low temperature and low light intensity 17 °C and 100 μE∙m−2∙s−1). When in separate studies, a population of this race was sequentially cultured on detached leaves, at increasing temperatures (17, 20, 23, or 26 °C) or light intensities (100, 300, 500, or 700 μE∙m−2∙s−1), isolates that were adpated to each of these regimes were selected. Such isolates, particularly those from low temperature and low light intensity, exhibited some specificity to their "own" environments, although isolates selected at 26 °C and 500 μE∙m−2∙s−1 were most aggressive at all temperatures and light intensity regimes, respectively. Such adaptation appeared to result from pathogen response to host-mediated environmental selection pressure. Isolate, incubating environment, and their interaction were significant contributors to the variation in aggressiveness traits (disease timing and intensity). This rust demonstrates considerable ability to adapt to varying environmental conditions. Thus physical environmental variables may be important selective forces in the regulation of this pathosystem, as spatial and temporal heterogeneity of the environment in nature may result in polymorphism of the pathogen by disruptive selection.

Light is a major environmental factor limiting the growth and survival of plants. The heterogeneity of the light environment after gap formation in forest influences the leaf chlorophyll contents, net photosynthetic rate (Pn), and chlorophyll fluorescence, thus influencing the growth and regeneration of Castanopsis kawakamii seedlings. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of weak light on the photosynthetic physiology of C. kawakamii seedlings in forest gaps and non-gaps. The results showed that (1) the contents of chlorophyll a (Chl-a), chlorophyll b (Chl-b), and total chlorophyll (Chl-T) in forest gaps were lower than in non-gaps. Seedlings tended to increase chlorophyll content to absorb light energy to adapt to low light intensity in non-gap environments. (2) The Pn values of C. kawakamii seedlings in forest gaps were significantly higher than in non-gaps, and forest gaps could improve the seedlings’ photosynthetic capacity. (3) The C. kawakamii seedlings in forest gaps were more sensitive to weak light and control group treatment, especially the tall seedlings, indicating that seedlings require more light to satisfy their growth needs in the winter. The seedlings in non-gaps demonstrated better adaptability to low light intensity. The light intensity was not adequate in weak light conditions and limited seedling growth. We suggest that partial forest selection cutting could improve light intensity in non-gaps, thus promoting seedling growth and regeneration of C. kawakamii more effectively in this forest.
