Abstract:
Stable carbon isotope discrimination(Δ13C)is a good predictions of water use efficiency(WUE),and is already applied in crop breeding programs,and some high WUE cultivars have been selected with the method.At present,the study on estimation of the WUE of different poplar clones by Δ13C is a few.In order to probe the WUE changes on different temporal scales during growth process of field-cultured poplar,and the relationship between Δ13C and growth,the WUE of 7 clones were respectively determined by Δ13C in leaves,branches and stems(respectively abbreviate to Δ13C leaf,Δ13Cbranchand Δ13Cstem)as well as gas exchange method.The results indicated that the Δ13Cleaf,Δ13Cbranchand Δ13Cstemsignificantly and orderly decreased as well as the corresponding WUEs increased orderly.The estimations on WUE for 7 clones by gas exchange method were approximately consistent with the results derived from Δ13Cleaf,but they did not agree with the outcomes based on Δ13Cbranch and Δ13Cstem, which were consistent with each other.Because the Δ13Cstem reflects integrated WUE on a longer period than the Δ13Cleaf and Δ13Cbranch,the Δ13Cstem was considered as a good index for WUE determination at whole plant level.The correlation analysis between the Δ13C in different organs and growth showed that there was no correlation between Δ13Cleaf and growth,but both Δ13Cbranch and Δ13Cstem had a significantly positive correlation with growth,so the Δ13Cbranch and Δ13Cstem have a potential application to determine growth of poplar besides their application on WUE.
