植物对UV-B辐射增强应答的分子机制及信号级联研究进展

地表的UV-B辐射量伴随着大气平流层臭氧层的变薄而不断增强,给地球生态系统带来严重影响.UV-B主要通过抑制植物光合作用、伤害生物膜及DNA等生物大分子来影响其生长发育,最终导致生物量及产量降低,甚至致死.植物在进化过程中形成了自我防护及防御机制,如DNA损伤的自我修复,活性氧自由基的酶促及非酶促清除机制,以及紫外吸收物质的诱导合成等;同时,在植物中也有许多物质及不同途径来感受和应答UV-B胁迫.本文从UV-B辐射增强对植物造成损伤的主要途径、植物对UV-B辐射增强的应答机制及信号级联过程等方面的研究进展进行综述.     

增强UV-B辐射及氮水平对长春花生长和生理代谢的影响

地表UV-B 辐射增强和氮沉降增加目前已成为影响植物生长的重要生态因子。本文以药用植物长春花（Catharanthus roseus）为材料,研究UV-B辐射和氮供应增加对长春花生长、生理及长春碱含量的协同效应。研究结果表明,紫外辐射增加对长春花生长和生物量积累具有显著的抑制作用。同时外源增加氮供应能明显缓解紫外辐射引起的生长抑制效应。紫外辐射引起的叶片膜脂过氧化胁迫导致了长春花叶片丙二醛含量显著增加,但同时增加氮供应能显著降低丙二醛水平。增强UV-B辐射处理显著促进长春花叶片UV-B吸收化合物合成积累,并随氮供应增加其含量进一步增加;氮供应增加和UV-B辐射增强共同作用时,长春花叶片中长春碱的含量较其单独作用时均显著增加。上述结果表明,增加氮供应不但可以缓解紫外辐射引起的生长抑制和生理伤害,同时对长春花叶片中生物碱的合成积累具有协同促进效应,其原因可能是增强UV-B辐射能促使长春花利用更多的氮源合成积累长春碱。     

UV-B辐射方向对白三叶克隆整合的影响

增强UV-B辐射会对植物生长和生理生化过程产生有害效应。克隆植物中,相连的克隆分株对经常共享资源和激素,然而鲜有关于异质性UV-B辐射下UV-B辐射方向对克隆整合的影响及克隆植物形态结构变化的报道。模拟同质(克隆分株片段均处于自然背景辐射)和异质(克隆分株一端处于自然背景辐射,另一端处于补加的UV-B辐射)UV-B辐射,以克隆植物白三叶为材料,进行连接和隔断处理,研究UV-B辐射方向对克隆整合强度变化、叶片形态结构特化及生理可塑性的影响。结果表明:异质性UV-B辐射下,15N同位素标记端保留的15N百分比高于同质UV-B辐射处理,转移到无标记相连端的15N含量则降低,紫外辐射处理和同位素标记是否处于同一分株端对结果无显著性影响,说明克隆植物白三叶生理整合存在但整合强度降低,辐射方向与克隆整合强度无关;隔断处理组气孔长度增加,栅栏组织增厚,但连接处理组却无此变化,表明生理整合在白三叶叶片形态结构特化中发挥作用。UV-B辐射下,最小荧光、电子传递速率及光化学淬灭系数降低但非光化学淬灭系数升高,而生理整合却使结果相反;叶绿素和紫外吸收物可在异质性UV-B辐射相连的两端运输分享。以上均表明异质UV-B辐射环境中,UV-B辐射胁迫端克隆分株通过生理整合从非胁迫端获益,并以此提高胁迫环境中克隆植物对资源的利用效率。     

UV-B辐射增强对陆地生态系统碳循环的影响

作为全球变化的重要现象之一,紫外射线B(UV-B,波长280～320 nm)辐射增强对陆地生态系统碳循环具有重要影响.UV-B辐射增强主要通过改变植物的光合作用、凋落物分解以及土壤呼吸来影响陆地生态系统碳的输入和转化输出.其他气候因子(大气CO2浓度、温度和水分)可能会促进或减缓UV-B辐射对陆地生态系统碳循环的作用.本文介绍了UV-B辐射增强的背景,综述了国内外近年来UV-B辐射增强及与其他气候因子交互作用对陆地生态系统碳循环的影响,总结了目前研究存在的不足,讨论了未来的研究重点和方向.     

种子植物对中波紫外辐射胁迫的响应研究进展

臭氧层的破坏导致到达地表的中波紫外辐射(UV-B)增加。增强的UV-B对植物产生不同程度的胁迫作用。综合论述了近些年来有关种子植物对UV-B胁迫响应的研究进展。对UV-B敏感的种子植物经UV-B处理,外部形态表现为植物变矮、叶面积减小、茎缩短等;内部结构表现为叶绿体结构失去完整性、叶肉面积减小等。种子植物受UV-B影响的主要部位包括光合器官、遗传物质、蛋白质等。为了减轻UV-B的伤害,种子植物形成了一系列的保护机制,包括表皮结构对UV-B的散射、反射,叶片厚度的增加、UV-B吸收物质的积累、受损DNA的修复、自由基的去除。此外,UV-B与干旱、增强C02具有互作效应。增强的UV-B对木本植物、生态系统等方面的影响研究应加以重视。     

植物酶系统对UV-B辐射的响应机制

紫外辐射作为一种自然界存在的环境因子,影响着植物的生长发育。在植物从太阳辐射中获得光照和热量的同时,不可避免地要受到UV-B辐射的胁迫。植物在长期对环境的适应中,在体内形成了防御系统,以保护自身的安全,酶系统是其中之一。植物酶系统在实施防护的同时也受到了UV-B辐射的影响,信号分子对调节酶响应UV-B胁迫起了关键作用。本文重点论述了UV-B辐射增强下,植物酶系统的变化、植物酶系统的响应机制以及酶系统与信号物质的关系,并对该领域未来的研究方向提出了展望。     

设施作物响应UV-B辐射的研究进展

基于生态学和能量角度,早期对增强UV-B辐射影响植物生长发育及光合能力的报道多为负面性报道,例如,损伤DNA、改变蛋白质结构;增加活性氧及细胞膜透性;破坏光合作用;使植株矮化、株型缩小,抑制生长等。然而,UV-B并不是只对植物有不利影响,特别是在设施内UV-B不足或缺乏的情况下,适量补充反而有利于作物体内修复机制的激活,表现出对生长、产量和品质的正向调控。本文综述了设施栽培作物的信号转导、次生代谢物质、光合能力、生长发育、果实品质及产量等响应UV-B的研究进展,以期为设施栽培生产中UV-B的合理利用提供参考。     

增强UV-B辐射和氮素互作对植物生长代谢影响的研究进展

不同氮源条件下,UV-B辐射增强能改变植株对氮的吸收利用以及植株叶片的碳氢比和碳氮比,增加氨基酸的生物合成.缺氮条件下, UV-B辐射增强使植物叶片中SOD、POD活性增强,MDA含量增加;氮素过量时,UV-B辐射增强会降低植物对UV-B辐射的耐性.UV-B辐射增强和氮缺乏相互作用会降低叶片的光合速率、叶绿素含量、可溶性糖及淀粉含量,从而抑制植物的生长,降低生物量.该文对近年来国内外有关UV-B辐射增强与氮素相互作用对植物抗氧化系统、氮代谢、光合作用、生物量和形态结构的影响进行综述.     

植物对增强UV-B辐射的防御机制研究进展

由于大气同温层的臭氧层逐渐被破坏变薄,增加了太阳UV-B辐射抵达地球表面的强度,对植物产生不同程度的影响.本文综述了近年来有关植物对增强UV-B辐射的防御机制,包括植物在生长、繁育与次生代谢过程中存在的防御机制、植物体内生物大分子对于UV-B辐射增强的防御和不同植物对于UV-B辐射增强的防御能力的差异,以及如何有效地利用该机制;同时提出了今后研究的方向和重点.     

Differential effects of elevated ultraviolet-B radiation on plant species of a dune grassland ecosystem

In a greenhouse study, plants of three monocotyledonous and five dicotyledonous species, which occur in a Dutch dune grassland, were exposed to four levels of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation. UV-B levels simulated up to 30% reduction of the stratospheric ozone column during summertime in The Netherlands. Six of the plant species studied in the greenhouse were also exposed to enhanced UV-B irradiance in an experimental field study. In the field experiment plants either received the ambient UV-B irradiance (control) or an enhanced UV-B level simulating 15–20% ozone depletion during summertime in The Netherlands. The purpose of both experiments was to determine the response of the plant species to UV-B radiation and to compare results obtained in the greenhouse with results of the field experiment. Large intraspecific differences in UV-B sensitivity were observed in the greenhouse study. Total dry matter accumulation of monocotyledons was increased, while dry matter accumulation of dicotyledons remained unaffected or decreased. The increase in biomass production of monocotyledons at elevated UV-B was not related to the rate of photosynthesis but to alterations in leaf orientation. In the greenhouse study, UV-B radiation also affected morphological characteristics. Shoot height or maximum leaf length of five out of eight species was reduced. In the field study only one species showed a significantly decreased maximum leaf length at enhanced UV-B. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed. The absorbance of methanolic leaf extracts also differed between species. UV absorbance of field-grown plants was higher than greenhouse-grown plants. In the greenhouse study, the highest UV-B level increased UV-B absorbance of some species. In the field study however, this stimulation of UV absorbance was not observed. In general, results obtained in the greenhouse study were similar to results obtained in the field study. Difficulties in extrapolating results of UV-B experiments conducted in the greenhouse to the field situation are discussed.     

Effects of ultraviolet-B irradiance on soybean. VI. Influence of phosphorus nutrition on growth and flavonoid content

Soybeans Glycine max (L.) cv. Essex were hydroponically grown in a greenhouse at 2 levels of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation (0 and 2 500 J m⁻¹ day⁻¹ biologically effective UV-B radiation) and 4 levels of P (6.5, 13, 26 and 52 μ M ). Plants were grown in each treatment combination to the complete expansion of the 4th trifoliolate leaf. UV-B radiation and reduced P supply generally decreased plant height, leaf area and total biomass, but increased specific leaf weight and flavonoid content (measured as absorbance of methanolic extracts). Although both UV-B radiation and low P supply produced deleterious effects on plant biomass, the effects were non-additive. The combination of UV-B and the lowest P level (6.5 μ M ) had no effect on total biomass or leaf area. This was at least partially due to the accumulation of flavonoids and leaf thickening. The results show that the sensitivity of soybean to UV-B radiation is dependent upon plant P supply. Plants experiencing P deficiency are less sensitive to UV-B than plants at optimum P levels.     

Effects of enhanced UV-B radiation on plant physiology and growth on the Tibetan Plateau: a meta-analysis

Uncertainties about the response of plant physiology and growth to enhanced UV-B radiation cause uncertainty to predict how plant production will vary under future radiation change on the Tibetan Plateau. Here, we used a meta-analysis approach to test the influence of UV-B radiation on plant physiology and growth. This hypothesis was tested by investigating the response of plants, which was expressed by some measurable variables. Enhanced UV-B radiation decreased plant biomass, plant height, basal diameter, leaf area index, maximal PSII efficiency, and Chl a+b, but increased intercellular CO₂ concentration, malondialdehyde (MDA), hydrogen peroxide, superoxide anion radical, peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, proline and UV-B absorbing compounds. The effect of enhanced UV-B radiation on net photosynthesis rate (P _n ) increased with mean annual precipitation and experimental duration. The effect of enhanced UV-B radiation on MDA decreased with experimental duration. The effect of enhanced UV-B radiation on superoxide dismutase (SOD) increased with the magnitude of enhanced UV-B radiation. Forests rather than grasslands exhibited a positive response of SOD and a negative response of P _n to enhanced UV-B radiation. Therefore, the effect of enhanced UV-B radiation on alpine plants varied with ecosystem types. Local climate conditions may regulate effects of enhanced UV-B radiation on alpine plants.     

UV-B辐射对马尾松凋落叶分解和养分释放的影响

由大气臭氧层减薄导致的UV-B辐射变化将直接影响到凋落物的分解。目前,有关UV-B辐射影响木本植物凋落物分解的研究还很少,在国内还没有开展。采用分解袋法开展了马尾松凋落叶在自然环境和UV-B辐射滤减两种辐射环境下的分解试验。结果表明：在UV-B辐射滤减环境下的马尾松凋落叶年分解速率比对照环境减慢了47.74%。UV-B辐射极显著(p<0.01)地加快了马尾松凋落叶的分解速率,促进了凋落叶中碳、磷、钾的释放和木质素的降解,对氮的释放无明显影响。研究结果意味着UV-B辐射将加快马尾松林的营养循环速度,降低马尾松林凋落物层的碳储量。     

The effect of solar UV-B radiation on terpenes and biomass production in Grindelia chiloensis (Asteraceae), a woody perennial of Patagonia,Argentina

UV-B radiation is absorbed effectively by nucleic acids and other sensitive targets, potentially causing harmful photochemical effects. Protection against UV-B radiation may be afforded by flavonoids and other phenolics, which absorb strongly in the UV region, but little is known about the role played by other compounds, such as terpenes. Grindelia chiloensis, native of Patagonia (Argentina), can accumulate as much as 25% resin (terpenes) in its leaves. The present investigation was carried out to test the effect of solar UV-B radiation on the allocation of photoassimilates to biomass and terpenes. Exposure to UV-B radiation reduced whole plant biomass, plant height and leaf area, and increased leaf thickness and resin accumulation in Grindelia chiloensis. Higher absorbance was found for refined resin in the UV-B waveband from plants grown under solar UV-B radiation than plants without UV-B radiation. These chemical and structural changes could protect the plant from UV radiation, and may help elucidate the importance of epicuticular resins for a species as G. chiloensis native to an environment with maximum daily integrated values of solar UV-B irradiance.     

Leaf thickness and UV-B absorbing pigments of plants in relation to an elevational gradient along the Blue Mountains,Jamaica

Terrestrial plant species vary widely in their adaptation to (increasing) solar UV-B radiation. Among the various responses of higher plants to enhanced UV-B are increasing leaf thickness and increasing concentrations of UV-B absorbing compounds. In some (UV-B resistant) plant species increased leaf thickness and UV-B absorbance may form part of mechanisms protecting plants from UV-B damage. However, in UV-B sensitive plant species leaf thickness and UV-B absorbance may increase as well with enhanced UV-B radiation. In the latter case however, this response cannot prevent plant damage and disturbance. In the present field study the relationship between these plant parameters and a natural elevational UV-B gradient on the tropical island of Jamaica was described. Four plant species of the Blue Mountain Tropical Montane Forest, occurring on open forest sites along the roadside and paths were studied along an elevational gradient. Plant species studied are Redbush (Polygonum chinense), Wild ginger (Hedychium gardneranum), John Crow Bush (Bocconia frutescens) and White clover (Trifolium repens). The elevational sites were at 800, 1000, 1200, 1400 and 1600 m above sea level. Leaf thickness was measured of leaves of intact plants around midday in the field. Leaf disks (5 mm) were sampled and extracted with a methanol/HCl mixture. UV-B absorption of these leaf extracts was measured spectrophotometrically. For all species leaves from higher elevations were thicker than those from lower elevations. In addition, the absorption of UV-B of leaf extracts increased with increasing elevations. It is assumed that the calculated gradient of the UV-B_BE from 800 m above sea level: 9.45 kJ m^-2 day^-1 to 9.75 kJ m^-2 day^-1 at 1600 m is related to the measured increase of leaf thickness and UV-B absorbing compounds. The responsiveness of these plant parameters to the elevational gradient does not necessarily imply that the plant species are UV-B resistant. One possibility is that the species studied, which are growing on open, disturbed sites on the forest floor and along mountain-roads, are relatively sensitive to UV-B. In addition to clear sky conditions, mist and clouds occur frequently in this tropical mountane forest at Jamaica. Also, the low nutrient status of the soil (low pH, nutrient deficiency) and the high content of polyphenols in leaves of many plant species of the tropical montane rain forest may relate to the marked response of the species studied with increasing elevation.

UV-B辐射胁迫对杨桐幼苗生长及光合生理的影响

通过对UV-B辐射胁迫下亚热带典型木本杨桐幼苗的生长及光合生理的研究,探讨植物对于UV-B辐射胁迫的生理响应及适应性机理,进而揭示UV-B辐射变化对亚热带森林树种的影响.实验设置UV-B辐射滤光组、自然光对照组以及辐射增强组,选择亚热带典型树种杨桐(Cleyera japonica Thunb.)幼苗为实验材料.研究结果表明:(1)增强UV-B辐射会降低杨桐幼苗的叶绿素含量,而降低辐射则会显著促进叶绿素的增加,且这种胁迫在时间上具有积累性.(2)增强或降低辐射强度都会抑制杨桐地径的生长,增强辐射会产生更显著的抑制;降低辐射强度会对杨桐幼苗的株高生长产生促进作用,反之,则会抑制其生长.3个测定期数据综合分析显示随着处理时间的加长,这种胁迫作用有减小的趋势.(3)对光响应曲线的分析表明相对于自然光条件下的UV-B辐射,降低其强度对杨桐幼苗光合作用有显著的促进作用,反之则会抑制,不过抑制作用并不显著;对于光合特征参数的分析表明增强或降低UV-B辐射会显著降低杨桐幼苗的光饱和点(LSP)和光补偿点(LcP),而对最大净光合速率(Amax)、表观光合量子效率(AQY)、暗呼吸速率(Rd)影响均不显著,表明辐射胁迫对杨桐幼苗利用光能的效率影响不大,从而也并未对杨桐的光合作用产生显著性的伤害,但是由于森林树种的多年生特性,这种影响将是积累性的或延迟的,UV-B所造成的光合作用或光能利用率的微小变化都可能会积累成长期影响.因此,对森林树种进行长期研究是必要的.     

Stratospheric Ozone Depletion: High Arctic Tundra Plant Growth on Svalbard is not Affected by Enhanced UV-B after 7 years of UV-B Supplementation in the Field

The response of tundra plants to enhanced UV-B radiation simulating 15 and 30% ozone depletion was studied at two high arctic sites (Isdammen and Adventdalen, 78° N, Svalbard).The set-up of the UV-B supplementation systems is described, consisting of large and small UV lamp arrays, installed in 1996 and 2002. After 7 years of exposure to enhanced UV-B radiation, plant cover, density, morphological (leaf fresh and dry weight, leaf thickness, leaf area, reproductive and ecophysiological parameters leaf UV-B absorbance, leaf phenolic content, leaf water content) were not affected by enhanced UV-B radiation. DNA damage in the leaves was not increased with enhanced UV-B in Salix polaris and Cassiope tetragona. DNA damage in Salix polaris leaves was higher than in leaves of C. tetragona. The length of male gametophyte moss plants of Polytrichum hyperboreum was reduced with elevated UV-B as well as the number of Pedicularis hirsuta plants per plot, but the inflorescence length of Bistorta vivipara was not significantly affected. We discuss the possible causes of tolerance of tundra plants to UV-B (absence of response to enhanced UV-B) in terms of methodology (supplementation versus exclusion), ecophysiological adaptations to UV-B and the biogeographical history of polar plants
