Responses of apical ion fluxes to NaCl stress in Elaeagnus angustifolia seedlings

Aims Elaeagnus angustifolia is one of the most salt-tolerant species. The objective of this study was to understand the mechanisms of ion transporation in E. angustifolia exposed to different salt concentrations through manipulations of K⁺/Na⁺ homeostasis.
Methods Seedlings of two variants of the species, Yinchuan provenance (YC, salt-sensitive type) and the Alaer provenance (ALE, salt-tolerant type), were treated with three different NaCl application modes, and the ion fluxes in the apical regions were measured using non-invasive micro-test technology (NMT). In mode 1, Na⁺ and K⁺ fluxes were measured after 150 mmol·L^-1 NaCl stress lasted for 24 h. In mode 2, K⁺ and H⁺ fluxes were quantified with a transient stimulation of NaCl solution. In mode 3, Amiloride (Na⁺/H⁺ antiporters inhibitor) and tetraethylammonium (TEA, K⁺ channel inhibitor) was used to treat apical regions of E. angustifolia seedlings after NaCl stress for 24 h, respectively.
Important findings Under NaCl stress for 24 h, net effluxes of Na⁺ and K⁺ were increased significantly. The net Na⁺ effluxes of YC provenance seedlings (720 pmol·cm^-2•s^-1) were lower than that of ALE provenance (912 pmol·cm^-2·s^-1), but the net K⁺ efflux was higher in YC provenance. Under the instantaneous NaCl stimulation, net K⁺ efflux was remarkably increased, with the net K⁺ efflux of YC provenance always higher than that of ALE provenance. Interestingly, H⁺ at the apical regions was found from influx to efflux, with the net H⁺ efflux of ALE provenance greater than that of the YC provenance. Under the NaCl and NaCl + Amiloride treatment, the net Na⁺ efflux of ALE provenance seedlings was higher than that of YC provenance, while the net K⁺ efflux was less in ALE provenance seedlings. On the other hand, the differences in net Na⁺ and K⁺ effluxes were insignificant between the two provenances under the control group and NaCl + TEA treatment. In conclusion, NaCl stress caused Na⁺ accumulation and K⁺ outflows of E. angustifolia seedlings; The E. angustifolia seedlings utilize Na⁺/H⁺ antiporters to reduce Na⁺ accumulation by excretion; and the maintenance of K⁺/Na⁺ homeostasis in salt-tolerant E. angustifolia provenance seedlings roots accounted for a greater Na⁺ extrusion and a lower K⁺ efflux under NaCl stress. Results from this study provide a theoretical basis for further exploring salt-tolerant E. angustifolia germplasm resource.

Expression of an inwardly rectifying K+ channel from rat basophilic leukemia cell mRNA in Xenopus oocytes

Rat basophilic leukemia cells (RBL-2H3) have previously been shown to contain a single type of voltage-activated channel, namely an inwardly rectifying K⁺ channel, under normal recording conditions. Thus, RBL-2H3 cells seemed like a logical source of mRNA for the expression cloning of inwardly rectifying K⁺ channels. Injection of mRNA isolated from RBL-2H3 cells into Xenopus oocytes resulted in the expression of an inward current which (1) activated at potentials negative to the K⁺ equilibrium potential (E_K), (2)decreased in slope conductance near E_K, (3) was dependent on [K⁺]_o and (4) was blocked by external Ba²⁺ and Cs⁺. These properties were similar to those of the inwardly rectifying K⁺ current recorded from RBL-2H3 cells using whole-cell voltage clamp. Injection of size-fractionated mRNA into Xenopus oocytes revealed that the current was most strongly expressed from the fraction containing mRNA of approximately 4–5 kb. Expression of this channel represents a starting point for the expression cloning of a novel class of K⁺ channels.     

磁化微咸水灌溉对欧美杨I-107离子稳态的影响

为探究微咸水磁化处理条件下植株的离子稳态特征,以欧美杨I-107一年生扦插苗为试材,于生长季节分别采用Hoagland营养液和4.0 g·L^-1 NaCl微咸水,经磁化处理后连续灌溉30 d.采用原子吸收分光光度法对叶片和根系中K⁺、Na⁺、Ca²⁺和Mg²⁺含量进行测定,分析离子平衡系数(K)和根-叶之间的离子选择性运输系数(S_Xi,Na).结果表明: 与非盐分胁迫处理相比,盐分胁迫处理根系和叶片中Na⁺和Ca²⁺含量及S_K,Na、S_Mg,Na升高,K⁺和Mg²⁺含量、K⁺/Na⁺及S_Ca,Na降低.与非磁化微咸水灌溉处理相比,磁化微咸水灌溉处理的根系和叶片中Na⁺含量降低、K⁺含量及K⁺/Na⁺提高;根系和叶片中Ca²⁺含量降低、Mg²⁺含量提高;磁化微咸水灌溉处理中K提高,且叶片中K值显著高于根系;S_K,Na和S_Mg,Na较非磁化微咸水灌溉提高,S_Ca,Na较其降低.磁化微咸水灌溉中根系和叶片Na⁺积累量减少,K⁺、Ca²⁺和Mg²⁺含量增加,且维持了较高水平的K⁺/Na⁺,这有利于植株整株水平生理代谢的调控.因此,盐分胁迫下磁化作用可通过调节离子的选择性吸收和运输来维持植株体内的离子平衡.     

外生菌根真菌通过调节离子平衡提高蒙古栎耐盐性

为探究盐胁迫对蒙古栎生长的影响以及外生菌根真菌(ECMF)对蒙古栎离子平衡的调节作用,对蒙古栎幼苗接种4种ECMF(铆钉菇、褐环乳牛肝菌、厚环粘盖牛肝菌和美味牛肝菌)后,以1年生非菌根化与菌根化幼苗为试验材料,进行36 d的NaCl胁迫(0、100、200、300 mmol·L^-1)处理,分析幼苗的菌根特征、生长量、叶伤害症状、叶片电解质渗透率及含水量、根茎叶离子含量的变化特征。结果表明: 4种ECMF均能与蒙古栎建立共生体系,菌根化幼苗的根系较非菌根化幼苗粗壮。盐胁迫下,蒙古栎幼苗的生长受到抑制并出现焦叶症状,其叶片质膜损伤和失水程度随盐胁迫浓度升高而加重。低盐胁迫时(100 mmol·L^-1),蒙古栎优先将Na⁺积累在根和茎中,中高浓度盐胁迫下(200～300 mmol·L^-1),根成为积累Na⁺的首要器官。ECMF通过增加根部的Na⁺水平和减少茎、叶的Na⁺积累,加强对K⁺和Ca²⁺的吸收以提高K⁺/Na⁺和Ca²⁺/Na⁺,进而调节蒙古栎的离子平衡。4种ECMF对蒙古栎盐毒害的缓解作用存在差异,铆钉菇作用效果最好,褐环乳牛肝菌次之,厚环粘盖牛肝菌和美味牛肝菌的作用相对较小。     

钙对盐胁迫下冰叶日中花不同器官离子含量和根部K~+、Na~+吸收的影响

以冰叶日中花(Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.)实生苗为材料,经NaCl、NaCl+ CaCl_2、NaCl+LaCl_3处理后,利用电感耦合等离子发射光谱仪检测叶、茎、根中Na~+、K~+、Ca~(2+)、Mg~(2+)含量,计算K~+/Na~+、Ca~(2+)/Na~+和Mg~(2+)/Na~+比值,利用非损伤微测技术测定根尖Na~+流和K~+流,研究盐胁迫下钙在维持离子平衡中的作用。结果显示,NaCl处理后,冰叶日中花各器官中Na~+含量增加,K~+、Ca~(2+)、Mg~(2+)含量降低,离子比值降低;CaCl_2处理降低了Na~+含量,提高了K~+、Ca~(2+)、Mg~(2+)含量,离子比值升高,而LaCl_3处理后的结果相反。经NaCl处理24 h后,冰叶日中花根尖Na~+和K~+明显外流,加入CaCl_2后,Na~+外流速度显著增加,K~+外流速度受到抑制,而加入LaCl_3后则降低了Na~+的外流速度,促进了K~+的外流。研究结果表明冰叶日中花受到盐胁迫后,钙参与了促进根部Na~+外排、抑制K~+外流的过程,进而保持各器官中较低的Na~+含量,表明钙在维持和调控离子平衡中起到重要作用。     

Gill microsomal (Na+,K+)-ATPase from the blue crab Callinectes danae: Interactions at cationic sites

Euryhaline crustaceans tolerate exposure to a wide range of dilute media, using compensatory, ion regulatory mechanisms. However, data on molecular interactions occurring at cationic sites on the crustacean gill (Na⁺,K⁺)-ATPase, a key enzyme in this hyperosmoregulatory process, are unavailable. We report that Na⁺ binding at the activating site leads to cooperative, heterotropic interactions that are insensitive to K⁺. The binding of K⁺ ions to their high affinity sites displaces Na⁺ ions from their sites. The increase in Na⁺ ion concentrations increases heterotropic interactions with the K⁺ ions, with no changes in K_0.5 for K⁺ ion activation at the extracellular sites. Differently from mammalian (Na⁺,K⁺)-ATPases, that from C. danae exhibits additional NH₄⁺ ion binding sites that synergistically activate the enzyme at saturating concentrations of Na⁺ and K⁺ ions. NH₄⁺ binding is cooperative, and heterotropic NH₄⁺ ion interactions are insensitive to Na⁺ ions, but Na⁺ ions displace NH₄⁺ ions from their sites. NH₄⁺ ions also displace Na⁺ ions from their sites. Mg²⁺ ions modulate enzyme stimulation by NH₄⁺ ions, displacing NH₄⁺ ion from its sites. These interactions may modulate NH₄⁺ ion excretion and Na⁺ ion uptake by the gill epithelium in euryhaline crustaceans that confront hyposmotic media.     

植物响应缺钾胁迫的机制及提高钾利用效率的策略

钾是植物体内含量最大的阳离子,在植物生长发育过程的诸多生理生化反应中起关键作用。缺钾会抑制植株根系的生长,使根冠比降低;同时阻碍光合产物的合成和向韧皮部转运,导致生物量下降。因此,提高植物钾营养的吸收转运和利用效率对于作物品种改良和增产具有重要的理论和生产实践意义。该文综述了植物响应低钾的生理机制和提高植物钾利用效率的四大策略,并对改善钾营养吸收利用以提高作物产量和品质进行了讨论及展望。     

Functional expression of the plant K channel KAT1 in insect cells

Following the biophysical analysis of plant K⁺ channels in their natural environment, three members from the green branch of the evolutionary tree of life KAT1, AKT1 and KST1 have recently been identified on the molecular level. Among them, we focused on the expression and characterization of the Arabidopsis thaliana K⁺ channel KAT1 in the insect cell line Sf9. The infection of Sf9 cells with KAT1-recombinant baculovirus resulted in functional expression of KAT1 channels, which was monitored by inward-rectifying, K⁺-selective (impermeable to Na⁺ and even NH₄⁺) ionic conductance in whole-cell patch-clamp recordings. A voltage threshold as low as −60 to −80 mV for voltage activation compared to other plant inward rectifiers in vivo, and to in vitro expression of KAT1 in Xenopus oocytes or yeast, may be indicative for channel modulation by the expression system. A rise in cytoplasmic Ca²⁺ concentration (up to 1 mM), a regulator of the inward rectifier in Vicia faba guard cells, did not modify the voltage dependence of KAT1 in Sf9 cells. The access to channel function on one side and channel protein on the other make Sf9 cells a suitable heterologous system for studies on the biophysical properties, post-translational modification and assembly of a green inward rectifier.
