摘要/Abstract

摘要： 种子质量是植物生活史的一个关键性状，反映了亲代资源投入，影响幼苗生长与根、叶器官构建。然而，豆科植物的种子质量如何调控根、叶功能性状尚不明确。本研究以16种常见的草本豆科植物为对象，通过盆栽实验发现：种子质量与细根直径和细根生物量均呈现U形二次函数关系。种子质量与单叶面积、比叶面积及气孔长度显著正相关，但与叶氮浓度、叶脉性状及气孔密度无显著关联。同时，这些豆科植物的种子-根、种子-叶性状协同关系，与全球尺度的非固氮植物有显著不同。综上，种子质量可能选择性调控部分根、叶性状，这对于我们认识豆科植物生活史策略的形成，以及对环境变化的响应和适应提供了新的视角。

Abstract: Seed mass is a key trait influencing plant form and function. It reflects parental resource investment and influences seedling growth as well as the construction of root and leaf organs. However, how seed mass regulates root and leaf functional traits in legume species remains unclear. In this study, we selected 16 common herbaceous legume species growing in pots. The results showed that seed mass exhibited a U-shaped quadratic relationship with both fine root diameter and fine root biomass. Seed mass was significantly positively correlated with single leaf area, specific leaf area, and stomatal length. However, it showed no significant correlation with leaf nitrogen concentration, leaf vein traits, or stomatal density. Meanwhile, the relationships between seed and root traits and between seed and leaf traits in these legume species were markedly different from those reported for global non-nitrogen-fixing plants. In summary, seed mass may selectively regulate certain root and leaf traits. These findings provide a new perspective for understanding the formation of life history strategies in legumes and their responses and adaptations to environmental change.
