铜胁迫条件下AMF对海州香薷光合色素含量、抗氧化能力和膜脂过氧化的影响

以盆栽海州香薷为研究对象,模拟Cu胁迫条件下,接种丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)对海州香薷叶片光合色素含量、抗氧化酶活性、抗氧化剂含量、膜脂过氧化程度的影响。结果表明:(1)与对照相比,Cu胁迫使海州香薷叶片叶绿素a(Chl a)、叶绿素b(Chl b)、总叶绿素(Chl(a+b))、类胡萝卜素(Car)含量以及叶绿素a/b(Chl a/b)均显著降低,抗氧化酶活性和抗氧化剂含量也显著下降,质膜相对透性(MRP)和丙二醛(MDA)含量显著增大。(2)与Cu胁迫相比,Cu胁迫下接种AMF可使海州香薷叶片叶绿素含量显著增加;超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)活性显著提高;还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)、抗坏血酸(As A)含量显著增加;MDA含量、MRP显著下降。总之,接种AMF可提高Cu胁迫下海州香薷叶片光合色素含量和抗氧化能力,降低膜脂过氧化水平,从而缓解Cu胁迫对植株造成的伤害,增强海州香薷对Cu胁迫的适应性,提高了植株的生物量。     

铜胁迫条件下土壤微生物对海州香薷光合特性和叶绿素荧光参数的影响

为探讨铜（Cu）胁迫条件下土壤微生物对海州香薷（Elsholtzia splendens）光合生理和叶绿素荧光参数的影响,实验设置添加Cu（Cu胁迫）、接种土壤微生物、添加Cu与接种土壤微生物等3个处理,以不添加Cu与不接种土壤微生物为对照（CK）。结果表明：接种土壤微生物处理的植株相对叶绿素含量、净光合速率（P_n）、水分利用效率（WUE）均显著高于CK;且对初始荧光（F_o）和最大光化学效率（F_v/F_m）均有显著性影响。与CK相比,添加Cu降低了海州香薷的P_n和气孔导度（G_s）,但胞间CO₂浓度（C_i）的变化与P_n相反,表明其对光合作用的影响主要是非气孔限制因素。添加Cu的植株相对叶绿素含量显著下降,但Cu胁迫下接种土壤微生物提高了植株相对叶绿素含量,差异显著。在Cu胁迫条件下,接种土壤微生物的植株具有较高的F_v/F_m及较低的F_o,显著提高了海州香薷的WUE、P_n、G_s。说明接种土壤微生物可通过提高相对叶绿素含量、改善叶绿素荧光和光合作用来减轻Cu胁迫对海州香薷植株造成的伤害,从而提高海州香薷耐受Cu胁迫的能力。     

模拟岩溶旱钙土壤基质中AM真菌对玉米幼苗光合生长的影响

利用盆栽试验,探讨了AM真菌在模拟岩溶区干旱、高钙及其双重胁迫的土壤基质中对玉米幼苗光合生长的影响。结果表明:玉米幼苗的菌根侵染率在不同处理下的大小顺序为对照干旱双重胁迫高钙。无论接种与否,干旱、高钙及其双重胁迫均导致玉米幼苗生物量、净光合速率下降。未接种AM真菌条件下,玉米幼苗生物量在干旱、高钙及其双重胁迫下较对照分别低3.2%、63.7%、76.0%,净光合速率较对照分别低33.4%、86.9%、98.8%;接种AM真菌条件下,玉米幼苗生物量在干旱、高钙及其双重胁迫下较对照分别低16.3%、78.4%、80.2%,净光合速率较对照分别低9.7%、92.8%、91.7%。与同种条件下的非菌根植株相比,干旱及双重胁迫下的菌根植株生物量、叶绿素含量、光合蒸腾速率、最大光化学效率,以及P吸收均呈上升趋势;高钙胁迫下的菌根植株叶绿素含量、最大光化学效率有所增加,但生物量、光合蒸腾速率以及N、P的吸收未体现菌根促进效应。AM真菌与干旱及双重胁迫的交互作用对玉米幼苗的净光合速率影响显著,与高钙交互作用对玉米幼苗净光合速率无显著影响。AM真菌能够通过促进玉米幼苗N、P吸收及叶绿素含量增加,光化学效率、气孔导度增大,从而提高玉米幼苗光合作用能力促进生长。实验结果对岩溶生态系统中合理利用菌根技术及制定合理的农业生产措施具有重要的理论和实践意义。     

外源GSH对海州香薷铜毒害的缓解作用

采用溶液培养的方法,研究了外源GSH对海州香薷铜毒害的缓解作用。结果表明,100μmol·L~（-1）Cu处理6天可以抑制海州香薷根系伸长生长,降低叶片中叶绿体色素含量,增加植株中膜脂过氧化物丙二醛（MDA）的含量。100μmol·L~（-1）Cu处理下施加GSH可以缓解Cu对海州香薷的毒害作用,促进根系伸长生长,增加生物量,提高叶绿体色素含量,降低MDA含量,减少植株中Cu含量。     

铝胁迫对接种丛枝菌根真菌樟树幼苗光合作用的影响

在实验室条件下用低(0.5 mmol·L-1)、中(8 mmol·L-1)、高(15 mmol·L-1)浓度Al3 溶液胁迫接种和未接种丛枝菌根(AM)的樟树幼苗,10周后测定植株叶片的叶绿素含量、净光合速率(Pn),气孔导度(Gs)、蒸腾速率(Tr)、胞间CO2浓度(Ci)和气孔限制值(Ls).结果表明:未接种和接种樟树幼苗叶片叶绿素含量在低浓度Al3 胁迫时与相应对照无显著差异,而在中、高浓度Al3 胁迫下均显著低于相应对照,并均随Al3 浓度增加而逐渐下降;接种植株的叶绿素含量在对照和中、低浓度Al3 胁迫下均高于相应未接种植株,而在高浓度Al3 胁迫下显著低于未接种植株.未接种和接种樟树幼苗叶片Pn在低浓度Al3 胁迫时均显著高于对照(P<0.05),在中、高浓度时均显著低于对照,且在Al3 浓度间差异显著;末接种和接种樟树幼苗叶片Ci均随Al3 胁迫浓度增加逐渐提高,而其余参数则逐渐下降;在同一Al3 浓度处理下,接种和未接种植株的叶片光合参数均无显著差异.研究发现,中、高浓度Al3 胁迫能显著降低樟树幼苗的净光合速率,且光合机构活性降低是主要原因;接种AM真菌能显著增加中、低浓度Al3 胁迫樟树幼苗的叶片叶绿素含量,但不能显著减轻中、高浓度Al3 胁迫对樟树幼苗光合速率的抑制作用.     

干旱生境中接种丛枝菌根真菌对三叶鬼针草

为阐明丛枝菌根真菌对石灰岩地区适生植物三叶鬼针草(Bidens pilosa L.)光合作用的影响,设置正常浇水(A)、中度干旱胁迫(B)和重度干旱胁迫(C)3个水分处理梯度,比较了不同水分处理条件下接种丛枝菌根真菌Glomus mosseae和未接种三叶鬼针草之间净光合速率、气孔导度、蒸腾速率、胞间CO2浓度、羧化效率、水分利用效率等特征的差异.结果表明,水分胁迫显著降低三叶鬼针草的净光合速率、气孔导度、蒸腾速率和羧化效率.胞间CO2浓度在处理的前期(7d)因干旱胁迫而降低,在后期随土壤含水量的降低而升高;水分利用效率则是中度胁迫的植株、正常浇水处理植株、重度胁迫植株依次降低.在正常浇水条件下接种G. mosseae 对三叶鬼针草光合参数没有产生显著性影响;在中度胁迫条件下,接种植株较未接种植株在水分处理的前28d有更高的净光合速率、气孔导度、蒸腾速率和羧化效率;在重度胁迫条件下,虽然净光合速率、气孔导度、蒸腾速率和羧化效率接种植株高于未接种植株,但是二者并不显著.研究认为,干旱胁迫对三叶鬼针草光合作用的影响在水分处理的前期表现为气孔因素制约,在后期则主要是非气孔因素的影响;在正常浇水条件下接种G. mosseae 对三叶鬼针草的光合作用没有显著性影响,在干旱胁迫条件下,丛枝菌根真菌通过改善三叶鬼针草气孔导度和羧化效率等减弱干旱胁迫对植株的伤害,但是这种保护作用因为土壤水分的严重匮乏以及土壤干旱的时间延长而受到限制.     

羊草和紫花苜蓿生长特征及光合特性对不同土壤水分的响应

采用人工控制实验,对12%(T1)、16%(T2)和20%(T3)3种土壤水分条件下羊草和紫花苜蓿的净光合速率Pn、实际光化学量子效率ФPSⅡ、光化学淬灭q P、非光化学淬灭q N、水分利用效率WUE、株高、分枝分蘖数、生物量等参数进行测定。结果表明,在实验范围内,(1)ФPSⅡ和q P共同影响净光合速率,羊草和紫花苜蓿净光合速率对土壤水分的响应不同,紫花苜蓿的土壤水分生态幅要比羊草窄,羊草生长的最适土壤含水量为20%,随着土壤含水量的降低,净光合速率呈单调递减趋势;紫花苜蓿的最适土壤含水量为16%,其净光合速率与土壤含水量之间呈非线性关系,存在明显阈值。(2)适宜土壤含水量有助于羊草和紫花苜蓿株高和分枝分蘖的生长。(3)在土壤水分低于适宜土壤含水量范围时,羊草和紫花苜蓿有相似的响应机制,都通过增加根系生物量来适应环境胁迫。     

盐碱胁迫对山葡萄光合特性及生长发育的影响

以棚内盆栽山葡萄品种‘双优’(抗逆性弱)和‘左山一’(抗逆性强)扦插苗为材料,利用气体交换分析和叶绿素荧光诱导动力学分析手段,研究了轻度、中度和重度盐碱胁迫对不同抗逆性山葡萄品种的光合特性及PSⅡ活性以及生长发育的影响,为山葡萄耐盐碱品种的评价提供理论依据。结果显示:(1)‘双优’各胁迫程度下的净光合速率(P_n)、气孔导度(Gs)和重度胁迫下的蒸腾速率(T_r)显著低于对照,而‘左山一’重度胁迫下的Pn和T_r、中重度胁迫下的Gs、各胁迫程度下的胞间二氧化碳浓度(Ci)显著低于对照,净光合速率下降主要归因于气孔限制和非气孔限制。(2)轻度、中度盐碱胁迫‘双优’叶片单位反应中心吸收的光能(ABS/RS)、单位面积内有活性反应中心数目(RS/CS)和吸收光能为基础的性能指数(PIABS),以及重度盐碱胁迫下‘左山一’的ABS/RS、RS/CS、用于电子传递的光能(ETo/CS)均显著低于相应对照,其余均无显著变化。(3)2品种山葡萄植株茎流率及株高、叶片数和根系生物量等生长指标在不同盐碱胁迫水平下均比对照显著降低,并以‘双优’品种降低幅度更大。研究表明,盐碱胁对山葡萄‘左山一’的叶片净光合速率、PSⅡ光能吸收和传递效率以及生长的抑制作用均小于‘双优’,‘左山一’的耐盐碱性更强。     

外源亚精胺对盐胁迫下黄瓜幼苗光合作用的影响

采用营养液栽培,研究了外源亚精胺对50mmol·L-1NaCl胁迫下黄瓜幼苗植株生长、叶片叶绿素含量、光合气体交换参数和叶绿素荧光参数(PSⅡ光化学效率)的影响。结果表明:NaCl胁迫显著降低了黄瓜植株生长量、净光合速率(Pn)、气孔导度(Gs)、胞间CO2浓度(Ci)(P<0.05),但对PSⅡ实际光化学效率(ФPSⅡ)、光化学淬灭(qP)、有效光化学效率(Fv′/Fm′)、非光化学淬灭(qN)和PSⅡ最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)无显著影响(P>0.05);外源亚精胺显著提高了盐胁迫下黄瓜植株生长量、叶绿素含量、净光合速率、气孔导度、胞间CO2浓度,增加了ФPSⅡ、qP、Fv′/Fm′,降低了qN(P<0.05);外源亚精胺对Fv/Fm影响不显著(P>0.05)。外源施加亚精胺可增强盐胁迫下黄瓜植株的光合能力,主要是由于减弱了盐胁迫对植株的气孔限制,但对PSⅡ实际光化学效率影响较小,且叶面喷施比根施处理对改善盐胁迫下植株的生长和光合作用更有效。     

干旱胁迫下接种丛枝菌根真菌对七子花非结构性碳水化合物积累及C、N、P化学计量特征的影响

以濒危植物七子花二年生幼苗为研究材料,采用盆栽试验方法,研究干旱胁迫和接种丛枝菌根真菌(AMF)处理对幼苗不同器官C、N、P化学计量关系和非结构性碳水化合物(NSC)含量的影响。试验共设计4个处理:对照(CK)、干旱胁迫(D)、接种AMF(AMF)、干旱胁迫和接种AMF(D+AMF)。结果表明: 在干旱胁迫下七子花根系AMF的侵染率显著下降,但接种AMF处理植株的株高、叶片数显著高于未接种处理。接种AMF显著提高了干旱胁迫下植株根、叶可溶性糖和NSC含量及茎、叶淀粉含量,且茎和叶可溶性糖与淀粉比显著下降。干旱胁迫导致植株C含量在根和叶中显著增加,P含量在茎中显著减少;与干旱胁迫相比,胁迫下接种AMF植株根、茎、叶P含量及叶C含量显著提高,而根C、N含量及茎C含量显著降低。胁迫下接种AMF植株根、茎C∶N、C∶P、N∶P和叶N∶P均显著低于单一胁迫处理。NSC与C∶N∶P计量比的相关性分析表明,根、叶P含量与可溶性糖和NSC含量呈显著正相关,茎P含量与淀粉和NSC含量呈显著正相关,各器官N∶P与NSC含量呈显著负相关。综上,干旱胁迫显著抑制了七子花幼苗的生长,接种AMF通过提高植株根和叶的可溶性糖含量、根的可溶性糖/淀粉,增加地上部分淀粉含量,促进P元素吸收和降低各器官N∶P来增强植株耐旱性,从而提高七子花幼苗在干旱环境中的存活率。     

山豆根叶片光合特性对光强和干旱的响应

山豆根(Euchresta japonica)为我国II级重点保护野生植物。该研究通过设置不同遮阴网的层数和采用不同浓度的聚乙二醇溶液浇灌,探讨了山豆根光合特性对光强和干旱的响应。结果表明, 山豆根叶片的饱和光强为683.06~907.07mmol/(m²·s); 单层遮阴处理叶片的最大电子传递速率和最大净光合速率整体高于双层遮阴处理,其中单层遮阴且未进行干旱处理的叶片最大电子传递速率和最大净光合速率最高,分别为55.36和6.73mmol/(m²·s);相同遮阴条件下,叶片的最大净光合速率及其对应的饱和光强均随干旱程度增加整体呈下降趋势;单层遮阴条件下的蒸腾速率和水分利用效率均整体高于双层遮阴条件下的。不同处理下叶片光系统II的实际光化学效率、光化学猝灭系数以及非光化学猝灭系数等整体上均无显著差异(P>0.05)。山豆根属半阳生植物,其叶片利用弱光能力较强,植株具有较强的耐干旱能力。因此,建议在开展野外回归、迁地保护、人工栽培等工作时,进行适当遮阴处理并保持充足的土壤含水量。     

Increased plant growth and copper uptake of host and non-host plants by metal-resistant and plant growth-promoting endophytic bacteria

The effects of inoculation with two metal-resistant and plant growth-promoting endophytic bacteria (Burkholderia sp. GL12 and Bacillus megaterium JL35) were evaluated on the plant growth and Cu uptake in their host Elsholtzia splendens and non-host Brassica napus plants grown in natural Cu-contaminated soil. The two strains showed a high level of ACC deaminase activities. In pot experiments, inoculation with strain GL12 significantly increased root and above-ground tissue dry weights of both plants, consequently increasing the total Cu uptake of E. splendens and Brassica napus by 132% and 48.2% respectively. Inoculation with strain JL35 was found to significantly increase not only the biomass of B. napus, consequently increasing the total Cu uptake of B. napus by 31.3%, but Cu concentration of E. splendens for above-ground tissues by 318% and roots by 69.7%, consequently increasing the total Cu uptake of E. splendens by 223%. The two strains could colonize the rhizosphere soils and root interiors of both plants. Notably, strain JL35 could colonize the shoot tissues and significantly increase the translocation factors and bioaccumulation factors of E. splendens. These results suggested that Burkholderia sp. GL12 and B. megaterium JL35 were valuable bacterial resource which had the potential in improving the efficiency of Cu phytoextraction by E. splendens and B. napus in a natural Cu-contaminated soil.     

Heavy metal uptake by arbuscular mycorrhizas of Elsholtzia splendens and the potential for phytoremediation of contaminated soil

A pot culture experiment and a field experiment were carried out separately to study heavy metal (HM) uptake from soil contaminated with Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd by Elsholtzia splendens Nakai ex F. Maekawa inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and the potential for phytoremediation. The HM-contaminated soil in the pot experiment was collected from the field experiment site. Two AM fungal inocula, MI containing only one AM fungal strain, Glomus caledonium 90036, and M II consisting of Gigaspora margarita ZJ37, Gigaspora decipens ZJ38, Scutellospora gilmori ZJ39, Acaulospora spp. andGlomus spp., were applied to the soil under unsterilized conditions. In the pot experiment, the plants were harvested after 24 weeks of growth. Mycorrhizal colonization rate, plant dry weight (DW) and P, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd concentrations were determined. MI-treated plants had higher mycorrhizal colonization rates than MII-treated plants. Both MI and MII increased shoot and root DW, and MII was more effective than MI. In shoots, the highest P, Cu, Zn and Pb concentrations were all observed in the plants treated with MII, while MI decreased Zn and Pb concentrations and increased P but did not alter Cu, and Cd concentrations were not affected by either of two inocula. In roots, MII increased P, Zn, Pb concentrations but did not alter Cu and Cd, and MI did not affect P, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd concentrations. Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd uptake into shoots and roots all increased in MII-treated plants, while in MI-treated plants, Cu and Zn uptake into shoots and Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd into roots increased but Pb and Cd uptake into shoots decreased. In general, MII was more effective than MI in promoting plant growth and HM uptake. The field experiment following the pot experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of MII under field conditions. The 45-day-old nonmycorrhizal and MII-colonized seedlings of E. splendens were transplanted to HM-contaminated plots and harvested after 5 months. MII-inoculation increased shoot DW and shoot P, Cu, Zn, Pb concentrations significantly but did not alter shoot Cd concentrations, which led to higher uptake of Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd by E. splendens shoots. These results indicate that the AM fungal consortium represented by MII can benefit phytoextraction of HMs and therefore play a role in phytoremediation of HM-contaminated soils.     

Dual inoculation of dark septate endophytes and Trichoderma viride drives plant performance and rhizosphere microbiome adaptations of Astragalus mongholicus to drought

Rhizosphere microbiome adapts their structural compositions to water scarcity and have the potential to mitigate drought stress of plants. To unlock this potential, it is crucial to understand community responses to drought in the interplay between soil properties, water management and exogenous microbes interference. Inoculation with dark septate endophytes (DSE) (Acrocalymma vagum, Paraboeremia putaminum) and Trichoderma viride on Astragalus mongholicus grown in the non-sterile soil was exposed to drought. Rhizosphere microbiome were assessed by Illumina MiSeq sequencing of the 16S and ITS2 rRNA genes. Inoculation positively affected plant growth depending on DSE species and water regime. Ascomycota, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi and Firmicutes were the dominant phyla. The effects of dual inoculation on bacterial community were greater than those on fungal community, and combination of P. putaminum and T. viride exerted a stronger impact on the microbiome under drought stress. The observed changes in soil factors caused by inoculation could be explained by the variations in microbiome composition. Rhizosphere microbiome mediated by inoculation exhibited distinct preferences for various growth parameters. These findings suggest that dual inoculation of DSE and T. viride enriched beneficial microbiota, altered soil nutrient status and might contribute to enhance the cultivation of medicinal plants in dryland agriculture.     

Effect of aromatic plant species on vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal establishment in Pistacia terebinthus

The inoculation of Pistacia terebinthus with vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi and the spread of the infection were studied using a mixed cropping system, under glasshouse conditions, with Salvia officinalis, Lavandula officinalis and Thymus vulgaris colonized by Glomus mosseae as an inoculation method. This method was compared with soil inoculum placed under the seed or distributed evenly in the soil. Indirect inoculation with all the aromatic plants tested significantly increased VAM root colonization of P. terebinthus compared with the use of soil inoculum, although the effect on plant growth was different for each one of the aromatic species used as inoculum source. Inoculation with L. officinalis and T. vulgaris were the best treatments resulting in high VAM colonization and growth enhancement of P. terebinthus.     

The ecological significance of the coarse soil fraction for Picea abies (L.) Karst. seedling nutrition

Elsholtzia splendens is a Cu-tolerant plant growing in copper mine areas in the south of China. In this study, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) was used to investigate the Cu speciation and biotransformation in E. splendens with 300 μM Cu treatment from 10 days to 60 days. The results showed that 300 μM Cu was phytotoxic to E. spendens. The Cu K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) revealed that most copper in roots, stems and leaves exists as divalent Cu. Cu speciation changed depending on the treatment time, but there was no unidirectional trend in roots, stems, and leaves. The percentages of potential Cu ligands in all samples were estimated by fitting the XANES spectra with linear combinations. Most Cu in roots, stems and leaves was bound with cell wall and histidine (His)-like ligands, while a minor proportion of the Cu was bound to oxalate and glutathione-like ligands. The fitting results of Cu K-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EAXFS) showed that nitrogen/oxygen (N/O) ligands were dominant in roots, stems and leaves of the plant, while S ligands were rare. All these results suggest that Cu bound by N/O ligands plays a key role in Cu detoxification of E. splendens, and a role for classical metal-detoxifying S ligands, such as metallothioneins and phytochelatins, in Cu detoxification of E. splendens is not supported in the present study. Due to the phytotoxicity of 300 μM Cu to E. splendens, the question of whether S ligands play a significant role in Cu detoxification in E. splendens exposed to lower levels of Cu should be further studied.     

Field response of chickpea to inoculation withGlomus versiforme

The response ofCicer arietinum to inoculation withGlomus versiforme under field conditions was investigated in a phosphorus deficient sandy loam soil. Inoculation with the mycorrhizal fungusGlomus versiforme increased the rate of VAM development in chickpea. The weight of nodules and the number of nodules per plant were higher in inoculated than in uninoculated plants. The phosphorus content of the shoots and its total uptake, were increased by either the application of single super-phosphate, or by inoculation withG. versiforme. Inoculation increased shoot dry weights and grain yields by 12% and 25% respectively, as compared with the 33% and 60% increases respectively produced by P-treated plants.
