“…The current study was carried out at the experimental field of Heilongjiang University, Harbin (longitude: 126.61°, latitude: 45.71°), Heilongjiang, China. The B-efficient (H) genotyped sugar beet cultivar KWS1197 and B-inefficient (L) genotyped cultivar KWS0143 were selected from a previous study conducted by ( Song et al., 2021a ). The plants were cultivated in an artificial climate chamber (24°C/20°C).…”

“…In previous studies, 57 sugar beet cultivars grown worldwide for B utilization efficiency were identified ( Song et al., 2021a ; Wu et al., 2021 ; Song et al., 2022 ), and have obtained sugar beet B-efficient cultivars. Nevertheless, it is still unclear whether the physiological traits of B-efficient sugar beet cultivars correlate with leaf photosynthetic parameters under B-deficient conditions.…”

Boron (B) deficiency severely affects the quality of sugar beet production, and the employment of nutrient-efficient varieties for cultivation is a crucial way to solve environmental and resource-based problems. However, the aspect of leaf photosynthetic performance among B-efficient sugar beet cultivars remains uncertain. The B deficient and B-sufficient treatments were conducted in the experiment using KWS1197 (B-efficient) and KWS0143 (B-inefficient) sugar beet cultivars as study materials. The objective of the present study was to determine the impacts of B deficiency on leaf phenotype, photosynthetic capacity, chloroplast structure, and photochemical efficiency of the contrasting B-efficiency sugar beet cultivars. The results indicated that the growth of sugar beet leaves were dramatically restricted, the net photosynthetic rate was significantly decreased, and the energy flux, quantum yield, and flux ratio of PSII reaction centers were adversely affected under B deficiency. Compared to the KWS0143 cultivar, the average leaf area ratio of the KWS1197 cultivar experienced less impact, and its leaf mass ratio (LMR) increased by 26.82% under B deficiency, whereas for the KWS0143 cultivar, the increase was only 2.50%. Meanwhile, the light energy capture and utilization capacity of PSII reaction centers and the proportion of absorbed light energy used for electron transfer were higher by 3.42% under B deficiency; KWS1197 cultivar managed to alleviate the photo-oxidative damage, which results from excessive absorbed energy (ABS/RC), by increasing the dissipated energy (DIo/RC). Therefore, in response to B deprivation, the KWS1197 cultivar demonstrated greater adaptability in terms of morphological indices and photosynthetic functions, which not only explains the improved performance but also renders the measured parameters as the key features for varietal selection, providing a theoretical basis for the utilization of efficient sugar beet cultivars in future.

“…It was much better when it was far away from the lakes. Furthermore, root-shoot ratio was one of the features for characterizing plant drought tolerance, and specific leaf area reflects the ability of plants to utilize light in the community [37]. Both the root-shoot ratio and specific leaf area of the major plants in the wetland ecosystems in the reserve area were measured.…”

Desert wetlands play a significant role in flood regulation, water purification, biodiversity maintenance, and regional ecological environment improvement. Vegetation is a key factor affecting wetland function and it is important to study the features of plant community and the driving forces of plant community succession. The Ningxia Habahu National Nature Reserve, a typical desert wetland ecosystem, was selected to study the features of wetland plant communities including plant density, biomass and frequency, and vegetation coverage, as well as the habitats, structural characteristics, species composition, dominant population structure, and other characteristics of different ecosystems. Data was collected using long-term fixed-point observation, sampling monitoring, and other methods. The results showed that the total plant density, total biomass, Magalef index and Shannon–Wiener index of the different desert wetlands in the reserve area were all relatively low, which was caused by the poor habitat and salinization of the arid environment. There was no significant difference between the root–shoot ratio of the wetland plants in the reserve area and that of the construct species of other ecosystems. The specific leaf area of the wetland plants was also not significantly different from that of the construct species of other ecosystems. Vegetation nitrogen-to-phosphorus (N/P) ratios were found to be the key driving force for the succession of plant community in the desert wetlands. These results not only provide underlying insights for the improvement of species diversity and ecological environment, but also provide a scientific basis for the sustainable protection and restoration of typical desert wetlands.

Study on phytotoxicity evaluation and physiological properties of nicosulfuron on sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.)

Nicosulfuron is an herbicide widely used in corn fields. In northeast China, sugar beet is often planted adjacent to corn, resulting in frequent phytotoxicity of nicosulfuron drift in sugar beet fields. This study was conducted by spraying nicosulfuron to assess the phytotoxicity and clarify the mechanism of nicosulfuron toxicity on sugar beet. The results showed that nicosulfuron impaired growth and development by reducing photosynthetic capacity and disrupting antioxidant systems at a lethal dose of 81.83 g a.i. ha–1. Nicosulfuron damaged the function of photosynthetic system II (PSII), lowered photosynthetic pigment content, and inhibited photosynthetic efficiency. Compared with the control, the electron transfer of PSII was blocked. The ability of PSII reaction centers to capture and utilize light energy was reduced, resulting in a weakened photosynthetic capacity. The maximum net photosynthetic rate (Amax), light saturation point (LSP), and apparent quantum yield (AQY) decreased gradually as the nicosulfuron dose increased, whereas the light compensation point (LCP) and dark respiration (Rd) increased. Nicosulfuron led to reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in sugar beet leaf, a significant rise in malondialdehyde (MDA) content, electrolytic leakage (EL), and considerable oxidative damage to the antioxidant system. This study is beneficial for elucidating the effects of nicosulfuron toxicity on sugar beet, in terms of phytotoxicity, photosynthetic physiology, and antioxidative defense system.
