Abstract:

To determine the changes of root cell structure and leaf physiological characteristics of Angelica sinensis after infected with Ditylenchus destructor, ‘Mingui 1’ and D. destructor were used in this study. The cell structure of roots and the physiological characteristics of leaves were tested in filed by natural diseased condition. Microscopic observation showed that the cell structure of the diseased roots were seriously damaged and broken after infected with D. destructor. The chlorophyll content in diseased leaves decreased to 1.18 mg/g, while the electrolyte leakage conductivity increased to 76.19 ws/cm. The net photosynthetic rate, the stomatal conductance and transpiration rate decreased, whereas the concentration of intercellular CO2 increased. Moreover, compared with the control, the light saturation point, the maximum net photosynthetic rate, the dark respiration rate and the CO2 saturation point decreased, while the light compensation point and the CO2 compensation point increased. The content of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and some nutrient elements including Zn, Mn, Fe decreased to 2.41, 5.71, 36.07, 33.53, 112.37 and 1318.03 g/kg, respectively, while the content of Cu, Ca, Mg increased to 8.07, 538.13 and 33.13 g/kg, respectively. The results could provide a theoretical basis for elucidating the pathological mechanism of A. sinensis disease caused by D. destructor.
