Abstract

Abstract:

Leaves and roots respond to drought stress through morphological, physiological, and biomass accumulation changes. Alhagi sparsifolia is the dominant plant in the desert-oasis transition zone of Cele. We analyzed the characteristics of growth and physiological changes in leaves and roots of 1-year-old A. sparsifolia seedlings through a pot experiment. Results revealed the adaptive strategy of A. sparsifolia to drought stress. We simulated three water conditions (CK is well-watered: 70%-75% field capacity (FC); W₁ is mild stress: 50%-55% FC; W₂ is severe stress: 25%-30% FC). The results show the following: (1) Drought significantly inhibited the growth of the aboveground and underground tissues of A. sparsifolia. The main manifestations are: leaf area, root length, root surface area, root tissue density, and soluble sugar content of leaves and roots decreased significantly under stress (P < 0.05). The leaf tissue density, leaf dry matter content, specific root length, proline and malondialdehyde contents of leaf and root increased. (2) In the early growth stage, the aboveground biomass of A. sparsifolia under all treatments was relatively high (root-shoot ratios under CK, W₁, and W₂ were 0.43 ± 0.14, 0.59 ± 0.1, and 0.83 ± 0.83), while in the late growth stage, the below-ground biomass under all treatments was relatively high. The root-shoot ratio was the highest under severe stress (3.12 ± 0.32). The results indicate that A. sparsifolia enhanced the investment of resources underground in the late growth stage, and the resource allocation characteristic is more obvious under severe drought stress. (3) Pearson-correlation analysis showed that there was a significant tradeoff between core traits related to leaf morphology and root physiology in A. sparsifolia (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the leaf and root had synergistic changes in physiological metabolism. The results preliminary indicate the adaptive characteristics and A. sparsifolia seedlings under drought exhibit high dry matter storage, defense capacity, and low water consumption. A. sparsifolia can coordinate the resource allocation relationship between leaves and roots. At the same time, with drought stress time increased, the adaptive strategy of slow investment and conservative growth of A. sparsifolia was gradually formed. The results provide a reference for the restoration and management of desert vegetation in this region.
