外源钙对镉胁迫下南美蟛蜞菊毛状根生长、抗氧化酶活性和镉吸收的缓解效应

为了探讨外源钙对重金属镉(Cd)缓解南美蟛蜞菊Wedelia trilobata毛状根毒害的生理机理,采用溶液培养法研究了重金属Cd单独及其与Ca组合对南美蟛蜞菊毛状根生长、抗氧化酶超氧化物岐化酶(SOD)和过氧化物酶(POD)活性及对Cd2+吸收的影响。结果表明,Cd≤50μmol/L时促进毛状根生长;高于100μmol/LCd则抑制其生长,使其侧根短小,根尖变褐或变黑。与对照相比,不同浓度Cd培养的毛状根POD活性、SOD活性和MDA含量都比对照明显提高,但高于100μmol/L Cd培养的毛状根可溶性蛋白含量均比对照降低。与仅添加200μmol/L或300μmol/L Cd的毛状根相比,Cd和10~30 mmol/L Ca组合培养可促进毛状根生长,使其主、侧根变粗;提高其可溶性蛋白含量;降低其MDA含量、POD活性及SOD活性。原子吸收分光光度法测定结果表明,南美蟛蜞菊毛状根能吸收和吸附重金属Cd2+,当Cd2+浓度为100μmol/L时毛状根对Cd2+的吸收量最大,而Cd2+浓度为300μmol/L时毛状根对Cd2+的吸附量最大。外源加入10~30 mmol/L Ca2+可显著减少毛状根对Cd2+的吸收和吸附,并可调节其抗氧化酶活性,降低其膜脂过氧化水平而解除重金属镉对毛状根生长的抑制或毒害。     

镉及其与钙组合对褐脉少花龙葵毛状根生长、抗氧化酶活性和吸收镉的影响

为了探讨利用褐脉少花龙葵毛状根来修复重金属镉(Cd)污染的可能性,采用溶液培养法研究了Cd单独及其与钙(Ca)组合对褐脉少花龙葵毛状根生长、抗氧化酶超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化物酶(POD)活性及对Cd吸收的影响。结果表明,Cd≤50μmol/L时能促进毛状根生长,而高于100μmol/LCd则抑制毛状根生长,使其侧根根尖变褐和变短,数目减少。与对照相比,不同浓度Cd培养的毛状根可溶性蛋白含量和SOD活性先升高后逐渐下降;其丙二醛(MDA)含量显著提高;100μmol/LCd使毛状根POD活性逐渐升高,但300μmol/LCd则使毛状根POD活性逐渐降低。与对照(仅添加100μmol/L或300μmol/LCd的毛状根)相比,Cd和10～30mmol/LCaCl2组合培养使毛状根可溶性蛋白含量和MDA含量降低;但提高其SOD活性;而100μmol/LCd和10～30mmol/LCaCl2结合培养的毛状根POD活性均比对照低;而300μmol/LCd和10～30mmol/LCaCl2结合培养的毛状根POD活性则均比对照提高。原子吸收分光光度法测定结果表明,毛状根吸收和吸附的重金属Cd含量随着培养基中Cd浓度的升高而增加。但外源加入10～30mmol/LCaCl2能减少毛状根对Cd的吸收,并调节其抗氧化酶SOD和POD活性,降低其膜脂过氧化水平而解除重金属Cd对毛状根生长的抑制或毒害。     

培养基磷缺乏对黄瓜毛状根生长、抗氧化酶活性及氮源利用的影响

采用液体培养的方法研究了培养基磷缺乏对黄瓜毛状根生长及其抗氧化酶活性及培养基中氮源和钙利用的影响.结果表明,黄瓜毛状根在完全缺磷的培养基中几乎不能生长;而培养基无机磷缺乏会抑制黄瓜毛状根的生长,且浓度越低,其抑制作用越明显,毛状根变得越纤细而长,侧根数减少且短小.与全磷培养相比,磷缺乏培养基培养的黄瓜毛状根可溶性蛋白含量明显偏低,但其SOD和POD活性则明显升高.与完全缺磷(对照)相比,在培养过程中不同无机磷浓度培养的黄瓜毛状根的SOD和POD活性均比对照低.当黄瓜毛状根在不同磷缺乏浓度的液体培养基中培养时,随着培养时间的延长,培养基的电导率逐步下降,并与培养基起始无机磷浓度成正比;其培养基的铵态氮和硝态氮不断被吸收和利用,培养至15d时,培养基中的铵态氮已绝大部分被消耗完毕,但直至培养30d时培养基的硝态氮仍未被消耗完毕.培养基中无机磷缺乏会降低黄瓜毛状根对培养基硝态氮的吸收和消耗以及抑制黄瓜毛状根对钙的吸收.而适当提高培养基的无机磷浓度可促进黄瓜毛状根对培养基中钙的吸收和消耗.     

镉、铜和锌胁迫下黑藻活性氧的产生及抗氧化酶活性的变化研究

研究了不同Cd、Cu、Zn处理浓度对黑藻体内活性氧()产生及对抗氧化酶(SOD、POD、CAT)活性的分子毒理学效应以探讨高等水生植物抗氧化酶对重金属胁迫的反应。结果表明,三种重金属都不同程度地加快了产生速率;Cu使SOD、POD、CAT活性下降;Cd也都减弱了SOD和POD活性,而CAT活性在0.5—5mg/L处理浓度时增加;Zn对SOD活性也为抑制作用,当浓度为0.5—5mg/L时POD和CAT活性都上升。关联度分析发现Cd、Cu和Zn胁迫下黑藻起主要保护作用的分别为SOD、POD和CAT,而SOD最易受到影响。Cd、Cu处理下的叶绿素含量也都呈下降趋势,而0.5—5mg/L的Zn浓度刺激了叶绿素合成。所有Zn处理、0.5mg/L的Cu处理和0.5—1mg/L的Cd处理的叶绿素a/b值都大于对照值。除了Cu使可溶性蛋白含量减少外,0.5—5mg/L的Zn和0.5—1mg/L的Cd都使其含量增加。综合起来,Cu的毒性最强,其次为Cd,Zn最弱。致死阈浓度分别为:Cu:0.5—1mg/L;Cd:1—2mg/L;Zn:5—6mg/L。SOD是评价重金属对沉水植物毒性效应的灵敏指标。黑藻对水环境Cu污染反应敏感。       

硒对三裂叶野葛毛状根生长及抗氧化酶活性的影响

本文研究硒(Se)对三裂叶野葛毛状根生长及抗氧化酶活性的影响。结果表明,低浓度亚硒酸钠(0~0.5 mg/L)可促进毛状根生长及异黄酮的生物合成,而高浓度亚硒酸钠抑制其生长和异黄酮的积累,且浓度愈高抑制作用愈强。此外,硒可促进可溶性蛋白的生物合成,亚硒酸钠浓度愈高促进作用愈明显;硒还可降低毛状根中SOD活性,提高POD活性,降低MDA含量。说明硒对三裂叶野葛毛状根生长和抗氧化酶活性有重要的调节作用。     

CdCl2对豌豆种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响

以豌豆为实验材料,采用水培方法研究了Cd2 单盐胁迫对豌豆种子萌发与生长的影响。结果显示:(1)Cd2 质量浓度≤1 mg/L时,促进种子萌发,Cd2 质量浓度达到5 mg/L时抑制种子的萌发。(2)随Cd2 质量浓度的增加Cd2 对幼苗根生长的抑制作用逐渐增强;Cd2 质量浓度≤5 mg/L时,促进茎的生长,≥10 mg/L时,抑制茎的生长;且Cd2 对幼苗根生长的抑制作用大于茎。(3)低浓度Cd2 能促进幼苗叶绿素合成,当Cd2 质量浓度高于1 mg/L时,则对幼苗叶绿素合成有抑制作用,且随Cd2 质量浓度增加叶绿素含量逐渐下降。(4)Cd2 诱发的胚根细胞核、染色体畸变率随着Cd2 质量浓度增加而增大。(5)过氧化物酶(POD)同工酶的活性随着Cd2 质量浓度升高而明显增强,Cd2 质量浓度为1 mg/L时POD活性最强,但当Cd2 质量浓度达10 mg/L时,POD的灰度值明显下降。     

黄瓜毛状根的诱导及细胞分裂素6-BA对其生长和形态的影响

含农杆碱型Ri质粒pRiA4b的发根农杆菌(Agrobacteriumrhizogenes)ATCC15834感染黄瓜子叶外植体5d后产生毛状根,毛状根可直接从叶片外植体叶脉处产生。感染10d后,约90%的子叶外植体产生毛状根。毛状根能在无外源生长调节剂的MS固体和液体培养基上自主生长。PCR扩增结果证实,发根农杆菌Ri质粒的rolB和rolC基因已在黄瓜毛状根基因组中整合并得到表达。挑选一无菌黄瓜毛状根系置于含不同浓度6-BA的MS培养基中悬浮培养来探讨细胞分裂素6-BA对黄瓜毛状根生长及其形态变化的影响。结果表明,细胞分裂素6-BA能促进黄瓜毛状根的生长及改变其生长形态。随着培养基中6-BA浓度的升高,黄瓜毛状根变得越来越短而粗,更少分枝。与对照相比,培养基中添加0·1~3·0mg/L6-BA能推迟毛状根最大生长峰的出现,降低其可溶性蛋白含量、SOD和POD酶活性;而黄瓜毛状根的乙烯释放高峰比其最大生长峰和SOD和POD酶活性高峰提前5天,但6-BA处理能降低毛状根的内源乙烯释放量。该结果表明细胞分裂素6-BA可能通过对乙烯生成和释放的调节来影响黄瓜毛状根的生长和形态并延缓毛状根的衰老。     

镉对花生幼苗生长及生理生态特性的影响

通过溶液培养,研究不同浓度镉(Cd2 ,0～1.00mmoL/L)时花生幼苗生长及生理生态特性的影响.结果表明,Cd2 影响花生种子的萌发和幼苗的生长.当Cd2 浓度高于0.50mmol/L时,显著抑制种子的发芽率,随Cd2 浓度的增加,苗高、根长和侧根数减少;叶绿素含量随Cd2 浓度的增加而下降,过氧化物酶(POD)活性随Cd2 浓度增加而增加;丙二醛(MDA)含量同样呈上升趋势;超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)与根系活力表现为低浓度下升高、超过0.5mmoL/L后下降的变化趋势.     

铅、锌及其交互作用对鱼腥草(Houttuynia cordata)叶绿素含量及抗氧化酶系统的影响

采用营养液培养方法研究铅、锌及其交互作用对鱼腥草叶绿素含量及抗氧化酶系统的影响。实验结果显示，随着Pb浓度的增加，鱼腥草叶绿素含量逐渐降低但无显著变化。Zn在一定浓度下能提高鱼腥草叶绿素含量，而在高浓度Zn胁迫下，叶绿素含量急剧下降。鱼腥草叶片中SOD、POD和CAT3种酶活性都是随着Pb浓度的增加先上升后下降。随着Zn浓度的增加，SOD和CAT也是先上升后下降，POD则是逐渐上升。Pb—Zn交互作用增加了鱼腥草叶绿素含量，对SOD和POD活性具有抑制作用，对CAT活性影响不明显。同时研究结果还表明，单一Pb、Zn对鱼腥草叶绿素含量和抗氧化酶系统的影响大于Pb、Zn二者的共同作用，其中高浓度Zn对鱼腥草的伤害作用最大，而当溶液Pb处理浓度达到400mg／L时，鱼腥草仍能正常生长，说明鱼腥草具有较强的耐Pb能力。

Hyperaccumulation of cadmium by hairy roots of Thlaspi caerulescens

Hairy roots were used to investigate cadmium uptake by Thlaspi caerulescens, a metal hyperaccumulator plant with potential applications in phytoremediation and phytomining. Experiments were carried out in nutrient media under conditions supporting root growth. Accumulation of Cd in short-term (9-h) experiments varied with initial medium pH and increased after treating the roots with H(+)-ATPase inhibitor. The highest equilibrium Cd content measured in T. caerulescens roots was 62,800 microg g(-1) dry weight, or 6.3% dry weight, at a liquid Cd concentration of 3710 ppm. Cd levels in live T. caerulescens roots were 1.5- to 1.7-fold those in hairy roots of nonhyperaccumulator species exposed to the same Cd concentration, but similar to the Cd content of autoclaved T. caerulescens roots. The ability to grow at Cd concentrations of up to 100 ppm clearly distinguished T. caerulescens hairy roots from the nonhyperaccumulators. The specific growth rate of T. caerulescens roots was essentially unaffected by 20 to 50 ppm Cd in the culture medium; in contrast, N. tabacum roots turned dark brown at 20 ppm and growth was negligible. Up to 10,600 microg g(-1) dry weight Cd was accumulated by growing T. caerulescens hairy roots. Measurement of Cd levels in whole roots and in the cell wall fraction revealed significant differences in the responses of T. caerulescens and N. tabacum roots to 20 ppm Cd. Most metal was transported directly into the symplasm of N. tabacum roots within 3 days of exposure; in contrast, T. caerulescens roots stored virtually all of their Cd in the wall fraction for the first 7 to 10 days. This delay in transmembrane uptake may represent an important defensive strategy against Cd poisoning in T. caerulescens, allowing time for activation of intracellular mechanisms for heavy metal detoxification.     

Hyperaccumulation of cadmium by roots, bulbs and shoots of garlic (Allium sativum L.)

The effects of cadmium chloride concentration on root, bulb and shoot growth of garlic (Allium sativum L.), and the uptake and accumulation of Cd2+ by garlic roots, bulbs and shoots were investigated. The range of cadmium chloride (CdCl2 x 2.5H2O) concentrations was 10(-6) - 10(-2) M. Cadmium stimulated root length at lower concentrations (10(-6) - 10(-5) M) significantly (P < 0.005) during the entire treatment period. The seedlings exposed to 10(-3) - 10(-2) M Cd exhibited substantial growth reduction (P < 0.005), but did not develop chlorosis. Garlic has considerable ability to remove Cd from solutions and accumulate it. The Cd content in roots of garlic increased with increasing solution concentration of Cd2+. The roots in plants exposed to 10(-2) M Cd accumulated a large amount of Cd. approximately 1,826 times the control. The Cd contents in roots of plants treated with 10(-3), 10(-4), 10(-5) and 10(-6) M Cd were approximately 114, 59, 24 and 4 times the control, respectively. However, the plants transported only a small amount of Cd to their bulbs and shoots and concentrations in these tissues were low.     

The influence of plant growth regulators on callus induction in pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) hairy roots

Following in vitro infection with Agrobacterium rhizogenes wild strain (mannopine, 8196) and two A. tumefaciens transconjugant strains (C58C1 pArA4abc and C58C1 pArA4b) transformed (hairy) roots were induced in pumpkin (C. pepo L.) cotyledons. The presence of pRi T-DNA in pumpkin long-term hairy root cultures was determined by Southern hybridization. The influence of plant growth regulators on callus induction in root explants from hairy root lines, which differed mutually in morphology and growth rate, was tested by the addition of growth regulators to basal nutrient medium; while 2.4-D inhibited root proliferation in all hairy root lines tested, callus induction depended both on plant growth regulators and the root line.     

Maize plant growth and accumulation of photosynthetic pigments at short- and long-term exposure to cadmium

A wide range of cadmium concentrations (from 4 to 200 μM for seedlings and up to 2 mM for germinating kernels) was used to assess Cd toxic effects on maize (Zea mays L.) plants at the different developmental stages: germinating kernels, seedlings (4–9 days), and juvenile plants (34 days). Cd accumulation in plant organs was followed, and its lethal concentration was elucidated. In maize, cadmium was accumulated predominantly in roots; in shoots it was mainly accumulated in the lower leaves, and the higher was leaf position the lower was Cd content in it. At high concentrations (80 and 200 μM), kernels became the substantial cadmium depot. Germinating kernels manifested the lowest sensitivity to cadmium; seedlings were more sensitive; the inhibition of juvenile plant growth attained 90% and more. In the tested range of concentrations, cadmium suppressed shoot mass accumulation harder than that of roots. In 34-day-old plants, water content in shoots was stronger reduced than in roots. Plant death was also manifested earlier in shoots. It was concluded that maize plant sensitivity to cadmium increases with plant growing and that, under conditions of normal mineral nutrition, cadmium inhibits shoot growth more severe than root growth.     

Ri质粒转化的青蒿发根培养及青蒿素的生物合成

用发根农杆菌(Agrobacterium rhizogenes)转化药用植物青蒿(Artemisia annua L．)并建立了发根体外培养系统。Southern杂交、NPT Ⅱ酶的检测证明Ri质粒的T—DNA转移并整合到植物的核基因组上。在发根培养系统中,检测了青蒿的重要次生代谢物一青蒿素的含量,检测了不同理化因子对发根生长及青蒿素含量的影响。结果表明：光照(日光灯,12h光周期,20001x)有利于次生产物青蒿素的积累。培养基的pH值为5．4。蔗糖浓度为3％不仅促进发根的生长,而且促进青蒿素的积累。低浓度萘乙酸(NAA)对发根生长具有促进作用,但抑制青蒿素的合成。赤霉素GA,对发根的生长及次生产物的合成都具有促进作用,其最适浓度为4．8mg／L。     

Use of Chenopodium murale L. transgenic hairy root in vitro culture system as a new tool for allelopathic assays

We investigated Chenopodium murale transgenic hairy root in vitro culture system as a new tool for allelopathic assays. Transgenic hairy roots were induced by Agrobacterium rhizogenes A4M70GUS from roots, cotyledons, leaves, and internodes of C. murale seedlings. Roots were found to be the best target explants, providing transformation efficiency of up to 11.1%. Established hairy root clones differed in their morphology and growth potential. Molecular characterization of these clones was carried out by PCR, RT-PCR and histochemical GUS analyses. No differences in rol gene expression were observed. Liquid culture system of characterized hairy root clones was maintained for over 2 years. Six hairy root clones were selected for assaying the allelopathic effect of their growth medium against germination and seedling elongation of wheat and lettuce test plants. The inhibitory potential varied depending on the hairy root clone. Some transgenic clones showed significantly higher inhibition compared to wild-type roots. These results revealed that hairy roots as an independent system synthesize some bioactive substances with allelopathic activity and exude them into the growth medium. Concentrations of caffeic, ferulic and p-coumaric acids (0.07-2.85 μmol/L) identified by HPLC analysis in the growth media were at least 1000 times lower than the inhibitory active concentration (5 mmol/L) of pure grade phenolic acids, suggesting that they have a limited role in the allelopathic phenomena of C. murale. The presented hairy root system appears to be a suitable tool for further investigation of the potential and nature of root-mediated allelopathic interference of C. murale.
