中文摘要：

在人工气候室水培条件下,以玉米（ZeamaysL.）杂交种F1户单4号及其亲本478和天四为材料,用根压力探针技术研究了正常供水和PEG-6000模拟-0.2MPa水分胁迫条件下,玉米单根吸水能力及渗透吸水过程中水和溶质相互作用的基因型差异。结果表明,3个玉米品种在静水压驱动下的单根水流导度（包括径向导度和轴向导度）以及在渗透压驱动下的单根水流导度均为F1（户单4号）〉母本天四〉父本478,而水分胁迫普遍降低了单根水流导度;溶质NaCl存在条件下,根的透过系数为F1〉母本〉父本,而反射系数则趋势相反,水分胁迫并未显著降低根的透过系数,但显著提高了其反射系数。试验证明杂交种F1的单根吸水能力优于亲本,体现了杂种优势。

英文摘要：

The mechanism of heterosis in maize（Zea mays L.） has been studied mainly on kernel character to increase the growth and yield,but whether roots have heterosis on water uptake was not clear.Pressure probe techniques are extensively used to study water utiligation of plants,however,the feasibility of applying this technique to investigate the difference of water relation parameters among varieties of the same plant species has not been reported.In this study,the root pressure probe was employed to study hydraulic properties and interactions between water and solute flows of single primary root of three maize genotypes,478,T4 and F1 of hybrid HD4（T4×478） under hydroponic conditions with two treatments（normal culture condition and water stress imitated by PEG-6000,ψs=-0.2 MPa）.In the process of water flow across the single root,there are two different driving forces,hydrostatic pressure and osmotic pressure.Under hydrostatic pressure gradient,the pressure/time curves are monophasic,but in the presence of a permeable solution（50 mmol L-1 NaCl）,the curves are biphasic（water phase and solute phase）.Under both normal and water stress conditions,hydrostatic hydraulic conductivity（Lp）（radial Lp and Lx） of single root was different among genotypes,F1 was the highest and the male parent was the lowest.Osmotic Lp of single root in different genotypes showed the same trend with hydrostatic Lp and F1 was significantly higher than the parents,but the difference between the two parents was indistinctively both under the two water levels.Compared with osmotic Lp,hydrostatic Lp was 30-53 times higher.Permeability coefficient（Ps） and reflection coefficient（σs） are important parameters in describing the interactions between water and solute flows.Ps means solute uptake ability by plant roots,and σs（0≤σs≤1） implies the passive selectivity of roots for given solute.Ps represented as F1〉the female parent〉the male parent,and σs showed the reverse trend.Water stress reduced both the hy
