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 leaf13Cbranchand Δ13Cstem)as well as gas exchange method.The results indicated that the Δ13Cleaf13Cbranchand 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.

The spot experiments of Pteroceltis tatarinowii seedlings were carried out by simulating soil condition of drying-wetting alternation similar to karst region.The variation of physiological indexes,growth indexes and the restoration ability of seedlings after re-watering were studied.The results showed that the variation of physiological indexes was different with the times of soil drying-wetting alternation.The variation of water saturation deficit,xylem water potential of root and stem,net photosynthetic rate,transpiration rate,leaf plasm membrane permeability of seedlings changed greatly at one cycle,and relatively stable at two cycles,but the variation enlarged again at three cycles.These changes reflected a process from the reaction,and adaptation to inadaptation of the seedlings to soil drying-wetting alternation condition.After re-watering,the restoration degree of these indexes had a negative correlation with the cycle times.The compensatory effect was common in the restore process,especially for growth indexes,it is an adaptative strategy of seedlings to soil drying-wetting alternation condition.The effects of soil drying-wetting alternation on physiological indexes of P.tatarinowii seedlings were more serious at the early growth stage than at the rapid growth stage,but for the growth indexes were contrary.Therefore,the growth potential of seedlings would be restricted by repeated drying-wetting alternation condition at the rapid growth stage.

Previous studies revealed some anatomic and physiological mechanism about bamboo shoot development.But little is known about the molecular mechanism of shoot branching during bamboo shoot development.The studies on shoot branching related genes would therefore be helpful to elucidate the molecular mechanism.In this paper a 1 296 bp cDNA sequence was cloned from bamboo shoot of Phyllostachys violascens by RT-PCR method with degenerated primers based on the sequence conservation of Poaceae TB1 homologous genes.It has an open reading frame encoding 349 amino acids which has 64.7% identity with maize TB1 and thus is named PpTB1.Sequence alignment indicates that PpTB1 contains SP,TCP and R domain which are main characteristics of TB1 homologs in TCP protein family.Phylogeny analysis indicates that the divergence time of bamboo TB1 homologs are later than rice OsTB1 but earlier than other Poaceae TB1 homologs.Taken together,these TB1-like sequences are probably the TB1 homologous genes in bamboo.Although RT-PCR indicates that PpTB1 expression can be detected in leaf,bamboo shoot and young floret,the in situ hybridization reveals that the gene is highly expressed in axillary bud of bamboo shoot.Thus,PpTB1 may have similar function with its counterpart in grass and has the potential to regulate the production of bamboo shoot.In addition,TB1 homologous genes may also be valuable on the studies of bamboo taxonomy and evolution.

Monimopetalum chinense is a rare and endangered clonal plant endemic to China,which is limited to a small area from north Jiangxi to south Anhui and southeast Hubei.In the present study,population genetic diversity of M.chinense was investigated using inter-simple sequence repeat(ISSR)markers.Ten ISSR primers were used to amplify 190 individuals of 10 natural populations in the whole distribution region,39.2%of which being polymorphic.The Shannon diversity index(Ho)ranged from 0.045 to 0.101,with an average of 0.083 at the population level(Hpop)and 0.183 at the species level(Hsp).The results indicated that the level of genetic variation at the species level or at the population level was all lower than that of most clonal plants.Moreover,the genetic differential index(GST= 0.567 2)based on POPGENE indicated that 56.72% of molecular variation was among populations,and the results revealed a strong genetic differentiation among populations in M.chinense.Such factors as population fragmentation due to the geologic change and vegetation damage,small population size hindering gene flow,and the reproductive type of self-pollination may have contributed to the population genetic variation of this species.The results also show that the genetic distance is related to the geographical distance among populations in M.chinense.
