22、间设置处理水平，对3种枫香两年生实生苗进行干旱胁迫试验，每隔4-6d开始测定各项动态指标，一个月后复水观察统计死亡率，测定部分生理生化指标，保留一半，继续干旱处理另一半，干旱至60d时复水一周，统计死亡率，测定部分生理生化指标，通过反复干旱试验，以探讨3种枫香苗的耐旱性强弱，结果如下：（1）干旱30天复水后，缺萼枫香无死苗现象，中国枫香死亡率为0.85%，北美枫香死亡率为5.12%；干旱60d后复水一周发现，3种枫香都出现了一定程度的死苗现象，缺萼枫香死亡率约为18%，中国枫香与北美枫香死亡率分别为19.66%、6.84%。株高净生长量随干旱胁迫时间的延长一直处于降低的趋势，总体生长幅度低于对

23、照组。3种枫香幼苗生物量随干旱胁迫时间的延长，根、茎、叶、总生物量均降低，叶重比随干旱胁迫时间的延长处于降低趋势，茎重比升高，根重比先降低后又升高。表明干旱胁迫会改变枫香株高生长、生物量在各器官间的分配比例以与幼苗存活率，其中根、茎比例增加和叶重比减少会有利于其在干旱条件下吸收水分和维持水分平衡。（2）短期（30d）干旱胁迫条件下，3种枫香Yield、qP、ETR在干旱12d左右均出现不同程度地降低，NPQ则出现缓慢上升的趋势。Fv/F0、Fv/Fm在干旱24d左右开始降低。缺萼枫香与中国枫香在短期干旱（30d）与长期干旱（60d）胁迫下，其Yield、Fv/F0、Fv/Fm、qP、ETR降低

24、，NPQ升高，而北美枫香各参数在短期干旱（30d）时与对照相比均无明显差异,处理60d后与对照组相比，其Yield、qP、Fv/F0、qN、ETR降低，Fv/Fm不变。说明枫香苗叶片色素吸收的光能出现不正常的散失，导致暗适应条件下的初始荧光值增大，即荧光发射散失的能量比例增大。（3）缺萼枫香在短期（30d）干旱条件下，叶片SOD活性上升、SOD/CAT值降低、MDA含量降低，长期干旱（60d）则导致SOD活性降低、POD活性升高、SOD/POD、SOD/CAT值与对照组相比均有所降低；中国枫香在短期干旱（30d），叶片SOD活性降低，POD活性升高，SOD/POD、SOD/CAT值降低，MDA

25、含量升高，CAT活性无明显变化，长期干旱（60d），SOD活性升高，SOD/POD值升高,SOD/CAT值降低,MDA 含量降低。北美枫香在短期干旱（30d），叶片SOD/POD值上升，MDA含量升高,长期干旱（60d），SOD与POD活性均出现不同幅度地降低，SOD/POD值升高。中国枫香根系SOD活性、CAT活性均表现出先升高后降低的趋势，POD活性先降后升，SOD/POD值降低，SOD/CAT值先升高后降低；缺萼枫香根系SOD活性、CAT活性先降低后升高，SOD/POD值、SOD/CAT值先升高后降低，POD值升高；北美枫香的SOD活性、CAT活性、SOD/POD值先升高后又降低，POD

26、活性、SOD/CAT值降低，MDA含量均处于上升趋势。说明在一定的胁迫程度和时间，枫香能够激活 SOD、POD 、CAT等酶活性来调节胁迫对其造成的伤害。（4）随干旱胁迫时间的延长，枫香叶片有机碳含量无显著变化，缺萼枫香叶片N含量有所上升,中国枫香无一致变化，北美枫香在干旱60d以后叶氮量降低。缺萼枫香叶片C/N表现出一定程度的下降趋势，中国枫香与北美枫香则表现出一定的上升趋势，根系有机C、全N、C/N比均随干旱胁迫程度的变化，表现出明显的种间差异。（5）3种枫香叶片可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白、脯氨酸等有机渗透物质含量都有不同程度的上升趋势，根系有机渗透调节物质可溶性蛋白、脯氨酸含量均有上升的趋势，

27、可溶性糖含量无一致变化，叶片Ca2+、Mg2+含量稍有降低的趋势，K+含量有上升的趋势，根系无机渗透离子（Ca2+、K+、Mg2+）含量均稍有上升的趋势。在短期，随干旱时间的延长，3种枫香叶片相对含水量（RWC）逐渐降低，水分饱和亏缺(WSD)逐渐升高，组织密度(TD)在干旱的前12d有所降低，在干旱的后期有逐渐升高的趋势，3种枫香叶水势随土壤含水量的降低逐渐升高。（6）3种枫香根系比根长(SRL)、比表面积(SRA)、相对表面积(RSA)均表现出先升高后降低的趋势，平均直径(ARD)表现出先降低后升高的趋势，随干旱胁迫时间的延长，3种枫香根系活力表现出明显的种间差异，其中中国枫香随干旱时间延

28、长根系活力上升，缺萼枫香有升有降，北美枫香则随干旱胁迫时间的延长根系活力一直处于下降的趋势，根系相对电导率与根冠比升高。表明短期干旱促进了枫香苗根系的生长，长期干旱抑制了根系生长。（7）通过主成分分析对3种枫香叶片与根系的性状指标进行筛选，优选出最具代表性的21项指标对3种枫香实生苗的抗旱性进行评价，结果表明3种枫香的耐旱性强弱顺序依次为缺萼枫香北美枫香中国枫香。关键词：干旱胁迫；枫香；死亡率；荧光参数；抗氧化酶活性；根系形态；渗透调节Response of plants of the genus (Liquidambar.) to different degree of drought st

58、7-CD65A5644C0F3支持北美枫香与合枫香是复系（并系）种，以与morris等 ADDIN NE.Ref.FA659C17-0222-4613-BDE4-8AF52ACB54584评估了这两个种具有一样的分支时间，根据分析的五个非编码序列数据，他们证实了其他研究人员的发现。枫香属植物在我国主要分布于长江流域与其以南地区，西至四川、贵、云南，南至广东，东至，垂直分布于海拔在1000-1500m的南方丘陵与平原地区。枫香属植物是我国亚热带地区优良速生落叶阔叶树种，在鄂东南低丘马尾松林中是重要的伴生树种，其在天然和人工林的更新中具有重要的意义 ADDIN NE.Ref.F4A89A01-5D

59、29-44EB-AC49-2D629414C35A5，也是改良土壤、美化环境、保持水土的首选树种，其性耐火烧,耐干旱瘠薄，素有“荒山先锋”之称,也是香茹、木耳栽培段木的重要来源。其材质均匀，纹理美观,是胶合板和造纸的良好用材树种,具有广泛的利用价值 ADDIN NE.Ref.F13E8FC4-9AC2-4295-9C62-1D456CA84E7B6。此外，枫香树冠广裘，气势雄伟；十月上旬秋叶色泽始红，渐五彩斑斓、靓艳醉人，为欧美著名园景树种、行道树，被广泛种植在小区庭园、公园绿地和风景区等场所：孤植、丛植、群植均相宜，纯林者，霜侵红叶、层林尽染，更为壮观。更因生长快、生物量大、萌发力强、根深抗

60、风，很强的土壤适应性,水域边林地、干燥沙地都能生长，同样适合做用材林、防护林和湿地生态林。因其对SO2、Cl2有较强的抗性，适合在污染较重的工厂、城区栽植绿化，其树脂有香气，可用来调配香料，其树皮、叶片、果实含有丰富的萜类、黄酮类、酚酸类、苯丙素类、挥发油类化合物，可作为治疗湿热肿毒等症状的中药材。总之，枫香树属植物所含化合物类型丰富，药理作用多样且显著，具有很高的药用价值。枫香为高大落叶乔木，幼树树皮灰褐色，平滑，老树树皮暗褐色，有粗糙的纵裂痕，单叶互生 3-5 裂(偶而可见 1-2 裂) 多为草质或革质,边缘有细锯齿,冬季变黄或变红,春季新叶与花约同时绽开，花单性，雌雄同株，雄花为密集的圆
