安徽大龙山国家森林公园东亚小金发藓配子体与孢子体个体性状及其相互关系

Individual Traits and Their Interrelationships of Gametophyte and Sporophyte of a Moss Pogonatum inflexum in the Dalongshan National Forest Park in Anhui Province

  • 摘要: 植物性状是植物对环境变化响应和适应的综合反映。目前对苔藓植物个体水平功能性状的研究较为匮乏。以安徽大龙山国家森林公园分布的东亚小金发藓(Pogonatum inflexum)雌株为例,在其孢子体成熟期测定地上部分孢子体和配子体的形态特征及生物量,系统分析了植株性状变异特征、异速生长关系及协变(整合)格局。结果表明,东亚小金发藓配子体形态性状变异性高于孢子体,且二者生物量变异系数最大。孢子体高度是配子体的2倍,但其生物量仅占地上部分的23%。孢子体和配子体功能性状之间有一定相关性;形态性状(Y)与生物量(X)之间多为指数<1.0异速生长关系,而孢子体和配子体生物量之间为等速生长关系(指数为1.135±0.158)。孢子体生物量分配比例随个体增大而显著减小,体现出显著的负的个体大小依赖。主成分分析表明,东亚小金发藓孢子体和配子体主要个体性状具有不同的协变方向(即两个不同的性状群),其中孢子体生物量是两类性状群的关键结点。综合来看,东亚小金发藓个体性状间具有与维管植物相似的协变关系。

     

    Abstract: Plant functional traits are the comprehensive expression of plants responding and adapting to the changing environments. So far, studies on individual functional traits of bryophytes are still rare. In this study, the female plants of Pogonatum inflexum distributed in the Dalongshan National Forest Park in Anhui Province was chosen as the target, the morphological features and biomass of sporophytes and gametophytes were determined in the period that the sporophytes are mature; and then, the variation characteristics, allometric relationship and covariation(integration) pattern of individual plant traits were analyzed systematically. The results indicated that, the variation coefficient of morphological traits of gametophytes was higher than that of sporophytes, and meanwhile the biomass both of gametophyte and sporophyte showed the highest variation. The height(length) of sporophytes was two times greater than that of gametophytes, while the biomass of the former only accounted 23% of the total aboveground biomass(total sporophyte and gametophyte biomass). The functional traits of sporophytes and gametophytes represented correlations to a certain extent; the allometric relationships with scaling exponent <1.0 were detected mostly between morphological traits(Y-axis) and biomass(X-axis), whereas an isometric relationship(the scaling exponent is 1.135±0.158) was found between biomasses of sporophytes and gametophytes. The biomass allocation ratio of sporophytes decreased with the increasing of gametophyte size, indicating significant negative size-dependent reproductive allocation. The principal component analysis indicated that the main functional traits of sporophytes and gametophytes of P.inflexum represented different covariation directions(i.e., two different trait groups), among them, the sporophyte biomass was the key linkage of the two trait groups. In conclusion, the plant traits at individual level of P.inflexum showed a similar covariation relationship with vascular plants.
