Abstract:

Under natural conditions, we carried out physiological observation on Phyllostachys aurea. In order to find out it’s real ability of drought resistance and reduce the interference of special year, the contents of chlorophyll, SOD, soluble sugar, MDA and membrane permeability of Phyllostachys aurea’s and P.arcana cv.arcana’s leaves were studied and compared with each other. Results showed that under the persistent drought conditions, SOD, soluble sugar, MDA increased in different degrees while membrane permeability decreased, and that for the resistant index all above, the two species of bamboo shared the same variation tendency. The results also indicated that Phyllostachys aurea had a good transplanting rate –nearly reach 99%. So Phyllostachys aurea might also have advantage in drought resistance. In short, Phyllostachys aurea could be introduced to Qingdao and used for landscaping successfully. It provides a basis for the further utilization of Phyllostachys aurea.
