A review of the study methods for root exudates ZHU Guo-peng, SHEN Hong 2002, 31(S1): 15-21.  Abstract ( )   PDF (257KB) ( )   Root exudates are the carrier of material, energy and information among the plant roots, soil, and microorganisms in rhizosphere. The study on types and amount of root exudates plays an important role in the interaction mechanisms among plants, soil, and microorganisms, and study methods have a significant influence on the research. In this paper, the methods for the study of root exudates, including collection, isolation, purification and identification, are reviewed. Meanwhile, the methods for specific root exudates are exampled so as to provide the references for the study of root exudates. Related Articles | Metrics

A study on shade tolerance of 13 species of palm trees DING Yin-long, YANG Sheng-chang, LIAO qi-liao, WANG Zhen-zhong, TAN Zhong-qi 2002, 31(S1): 51-56.  Abstract ( )   PDF (255KB) ( )   Under different shading treatments, the growth, contents of water and chlorophyll in leaves, and ratio of leaf dry weight to leaf area of 13 species of palm trees were studied. By system cluster analysis and principal factor analysis, 13 species of palm trees were classified into three levels of shade tolerance. The species with strong tolerance to shade included Chamaedorea cataractarum, Chuniophoenix nana and Dypsis lutescens, the medium ones included Caryota mitis, Chamaedorea elegans, Chamaedorea seifrizii, Licuala fordiana, Livistona chinensis and Rhapis exelsa, and the weak ones included Archontophoehix alexandrae, Howea forsteriana, Phoenix roebelenii and Ravenea rivularis.

Introduction and cut flower cultivation of Polianthes tuberosa WU Jian-she, HUANG Min-ling 2002, 31(S1): 57-60.  Abstract ( )   PDF (157KB) ( )   Introduction and cut flower cultivation techniques of Polianthes tuberosa were studied in Fuzhou, Fujian Province. The results showed that Polianthes tuberosa grew well in open ground and keeping them free from disease and insect injury, vase life of cut flower was 15d and the reproductive rate of solid bulb was 6-10. Controlling the blooming time with cold storage and cultivating in warm house, the solid bulb could produce flower all round the year. The flowering characteristics of Polianthes tuberosa varieties were also described. Related Articles | Metrics

Effect of temperature on Anthurium andraeanum growth and development GAO Hui-lan, LIU Zhen-yu, SHEN Qing-fa, YE Jing-shui, CHEN Rui-he 2002, 31(S1): 65-68.  Abstract ( )   PDF (172KB) ( )   The effects of temperature on growth and development of Anthurium andraeanum were investigated in four temperature experiments. The results showed that the quality and yield of cut flower of Anthurium andraeanum were closely correlated with temperature. The flowers were caused chilling injury and the production and quality of cut flower were lowest as average daily temperature (ADT) was 15℃ and it caused lightly heat damage on Anthurium andraeanum flower at ADT 29.5℃. ADT 26℃ was optimum for the flower production. When the temperature and strength of sunshine changed quickly, the spathe withered with the nutritive disturbance of plant. Related Articles | Metrics
