High genetic diversity is beneficial for the resistance of plant populations to salinity and coexistence with other plants.
In plant communities, genetic diversity among dominant species can not only affect the fitness of the population, but also interactions with concomitant species. Soil salinity is a common factor that influences plant growth in estuarine wetlands. However, few studies have tested whether their high genetic diversity will be beneficial for the resistance of plant populations to salinity and the presence of concomitant plants. Four different genotypes of Phragmites australis, a dominant species of the Yellow River Delta in China, were selected to construct populations with three different genotypic levels. These populations were planted either with or without concomitant species and were subjected to control or salinity treatments. At the end of treatments, growth variables of P. australis populations were measured. In response to soil salinity, the total biomass of 1-, 2-, and 4-genotype populations decreased by 35%, 24%, and 13%, respectively, indicating higher resistance of P. australis populations with high genetic diversity. Correspondingly, 2-, and 4-genotype populations showed higher biomass allocation to roots, which can maintain adequate water uptake for plants. The biomass accumulation of 1-genotype populations with concomitant plants was significantly lower compared with populations without concomitant plants; however, no significant difference was found for 4-genotype populations between both control and salinity treatments, suggesting their higher capacities when coexisting with concomitant species. However, the genotypic level of populations did not significantly affect their biomass accumulation. High genetic diversity is greatly beneficial for the resistance of P. australis populations to salinity and coexistence with other plants. This information should be considered in the construction or restoration of this species in estuarine wetlands. (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
