摘要/Abstract

摘要： 种子异型性是入侵植物适应环境异质性的关键策略。为探究少花蒺藜草（Cenchrus spinifex Cav.）异型种子对环境因子的响应机制，本研究通过控制光照（全黑暗与12 h光照/12 h黑暗）和水分胁迫[聚乙二醇（Polyethylene glycol，PEG）模拟]观察异型种子（M型：大种子；P型：小种子）的萌发特性，并通过水分（正常、轻度干旱、重度干旱）与光照（高光、低光）交互作用分析幼苗生长、生物量分配及表型可塑性差异。结果表明：异型种子萌发率不受光照影响但受水分胁迫显著抑制；重度干旱下M型种子萌发能力更强且胚根、胚芽及生物量表现优于P型。M型植株在株高、分蘖、叶面积等形态性状上表型可塑性更高，倾向于增加地上资源投入以快速完成生活史；P型植株则在生物量分配格局上更具可塑性，通过提升根系占比增强胁迫耐受能力。研究表明，少花蒺藜草异型种子通过萌发与生长策略的“两头下注”形成适应机制，为其在逆境中成功入侵和扩展提供了生态基础。

Abstract: Seed heteromorphism is a critical adaptive strategy for invasive plants to cope with environmental heterogeneity. To investigate the response mechanisms of heteromorphic seeds of Cenchrus spinifex， we examined germination characteristics of its two seed types （M-type： larger； P-type： smaller） under varying light （complete darkness vs. 12 h light/12 h dark） and moisture conditions （simulated by PEG gradients）. Subsequent seedling growth， biomass allocation， and phenotypic plasticity were analyzed in response to the interaction between water availability （normal， mild， and severe drought） and light intensity （high and low intensity）. The results showed that germination was unaffected by light but strongly inhibited by water stress； under severe drought， M-type seeds outperformed P-types in root length， bud length， and biomass. As seedlings， M-type plants showed higher phenotypic plasticity in morphological traits （plant height， tiller number， leaf area）， favoring increased aboveground resource investment for rapid life cycle completion， whereas P-type plants exhibited greater plasticity in biomass allocation， enhancing stress tolerance through increased root biomass proportion. In summary， the complementary germination and growth strategies of heteromorphic seeds in C. spinifex represent an effective “bet-hedging” mechanism， which is crucial for its successful invasion and spread across environmentally stressful and variable habitats.
