渗透胁迫对黑麦幼苗活性氧和抗氧化酶活性的影响

用20%聚乙二醇(PEG 6000)研究了渗透胁迫对黑麦(Secale cereale L.)幼苗活性氧(reactive oxygen species, ROS)和主要抗氧化酶—— 超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase, SOD)、过氧化氢酶(catalase, CAT)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(ascorbate peroxidase, APX)和谷胱甘肽还原酶(glutathione reductase, GR)活性的影响。结果表明, 与对照相比, PEG处理明显提高了叶子和根中丙二醛(malondialdehyde, MDA)的含量、ROS的水平和以上4种抗氧化酶的活性。渗透胁迫下,叶子和根中MDA和ROS水平变化的规律基本相似, 但抗氧化酶活性在2种器官中表现不完全相同, 叶子中CAT的活性在对照和处理中无显著差异, 但在根中差异明显, 表明叶子中SOD、APX和GR在植物应答渗透胁迫中起重要作用, 而根中这4种抗氧化酶都参与植物对胁迫的反应。GR活性随PEG处理变化幅度显著高于其它抗氧化酶, 表明GR在黑麦应答渗透胁迫中所起作用可能强于其它抗氧化酶。     

6-苄（基）腺嘌呤和抗坏血酸对渗透胁迫时杨树光合作用光抑制的影响

研究了6-BA和A5A对渗透胁迫时杨树幼苗叶片光合作用光抑制和活性氧代谢的影响．结果表明,渗透胁迫时杨树叶片净光合速率(Pn)和表观量子效率(AQY)降低,光合作用光抑制加剧,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性升高,抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)活性降低,O2产生加快,H2O2和膜脂过氧化产物丙二醛(MDA)含量升高．6-BA和A5A预处理使胁迫时叶片SOD和APx活性升高。O2生成减少。H2O22和MDA含量降低,同时缓解了光合作用的光抑制．相关分析表明,杨树叶片活性氧水平和MDA含量与Pn和AQY呈负相关．胁迫时杨树叶片活性氧的积累与光合作用光抑制有一定关系,6-BA和A5A对光抑制的缓解作用与其对活性氧清除系统的促进作用有关。     

Nitric oxide is involved in abscisic acid-induced antioxidant activities in Stylosanthes guianensis

Previous studies suggest that abscisic acid (ABA) stimulates the activities of antioxidant enzymes under normal and chilling temperature and enhanced chilling resistance in Stylosanthes guianensis. The objective of this study was to test whether nitric oxide (NO) is involved in the ABA-induced activities of the antioxidant enzymes in Stylosanthes guianensis due to its nature as a second messenger in stress responses. Plants were treated with NO donors, ABA, ABA in combination with NO scavengers or the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor and their effects on the activity of antioxidant enzymes and NO production were compared. The results showed that ABA increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX). The effect of ABA on antioxidant enzyme activities was suppressed by the NOS inhibitor, N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA), and the NO scavenger, 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl3-oxide (PTIO). NO content increased after 5 h of ABA treatment. The NO-scavenger, PTIO, and the NOS-inhibitor, L-NNA, inhibited the accumulation of NO in ABA-treated Stylosanthes guianensis. NO donor treatment enhanced the activities of SOD, CAT, and APX. The results suggested that NO was involved in the ABA-induced activities of SOD, CAT, and APX in Stylosanthes guianensis. ABA triggered NO production that may lead to the stimulation of antioxidant enzyme activities.     

Thermotolerance and antioxidant systems in Agrostis stolonifera: involvement of salicylic acid, abscisic acid, calcium, hydrogen peroxide, and ethylene

This study investigated whether pre-treating plants with specific putative signaling components and heat acclimation would induce tolerance of a cool-season grass, creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera var. palustris), to subsequent heat stress and whether thermotolerance induction of those pretreatments was associated with the regulation of antioxidant regenerating enzymes. The treatments included foliar application of salicylic acid (SA), abscisic acid (ABA), calcium chloride (CaCl2), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC, a precursor of ethylene prior to the exposure of plants to heat stress (35 degrees C) in a growth chamber. Physiological measurements including turf quality, leaf photosynthetic rate, and levels of oxidative damage demonstrated that all treatments increased heat tolerance. The better heat tolerance for pre-treated plants as compared to controls was related to the protection of oxidative damage under heat stress. APX activity increased over the first 2 days and 5 days of heating for ACC and CaCl2 respectively, but for only 12 h for H2O2. SA and ABA pre-treatments had no effects on APX activity earlier, but maintained APX activity at a significantly higher level than in controls after 24 h of heating. SA and ABA pre-treatments had no effects on POX activity. ACC treatment significantly increased POX activity. Pre-treatment with CaCl2, H2O2, and HA reduced POX activity, particularly during the later phase of heating. Plants treated with SA, CaCl2, H2O2 and HA had lower CAT activity than their control plants prior to heating and within 48 h of heat stress. ABA and ACC pre-treatments maintained higher CAT activity than the controls after 48 h of heating. ACC, CaCl2, or HA pre-treatments increased SOD activity only before 5 days of heat stress. SA and ABA pre-treatments had less effect on APX activity earlier under heat stress. These results suggest that specific groups of potential signaling molecules may induce tolerance of creeping bentgrass to heat stress by reducing oxidative damage.     

根系渗透胁迫时杨树光合作用光抑制与活性氧的关系

为更多地了解自然条件下活体叶片的光抑制,研究了渗透胁迫时杨树无性系幼苗叶片的光抑制与活性氧代谢的关系．结果表明,随胁迫时间的延长和胁迫强度的增大,杨树叶片O2^-生成加快,H2O2和丙二醛(MDA)含量增多,超氧物歧化酶(SOD)活性升高,过氧化氢酶(CAT)和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)活性降低,活性氧代谢失衡,光合作用的光抑制加剧．用二乙基二硫代氨基甲酸铜盐抑制SOD活性,或用甲基紫精加速O2^-的生成,亦可使杨树叶片发生光抑制．渗透胁迫时杨树无性系幼苗清除H2O2能力降低,限制了叶片通过Mehler反应耗散过剩光能,防御光破坏作用的发挥;光抑制的发生与活性氧的积累有关．     

Silicon-mediated changes on some physiological and enzymatic parameters symptomatic of oxidative stress in barley grown in sodic-B toxic soil

The effect of silicon (Si) on the growth, sodium (Na), chloride (Cl), boron (B) concentrations, lipid peroxidation (MDA), membrane permeability (MP), lypoxygenase activity (LOX), proline (PRO) and H(2)O(2) accumulation, and the activities of major antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, SOD; catalase, CAT and ascorbate peroxidase, APX) of barley grown in original sodic-B toxic soil were investigated. Si applied to the sodic-B toxic soil at 70, 140 and 280 mg kg(-1) levels significantly increased Si concentrations of the plants and counteracted the deleterious effects of sodicity (Na ions) and B on shoot growth. Membrane permeability and the concentrations of H(2)O(2) and MDA increased, while PRO concentration decreased in plants grown in sodic-B toxic soil without Si. LOX activity was increased by applied Si. Compared with control plants, the activities of SOD and CAT were decreased, but APX was increased by applied Si levels.     

木薯华南8号组培苗对盐胁迫的生理响应

以NaCl胁迫生长的木薯(Manihot esculenta)华南8号(SC8)组培苗为材料,研究不同浓度(0、5、20、35、50 mmol·L-1及R50 mmol·L-1)NaCl处理对SC8组培苗的生长状况及叶绿素、过氧化氢(H2 O2)、丙二醛(MDA)含量,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、过氧化物酶(POD)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)活性的影响.结果表明:≤20 mmol·L-1的NaCl胁迫60 d对SC8组培苗的生长基本无影响;≥35 mmol·L-1的NaCl胁迫60 d抑制了SC8组培苗的生长,但高浓度(50 mmol·L-1)胁迫30 d后正常培养30 d,可以使SC8组培苗的长势得到恢复.叶绿素和MDA含量在≤35 mmol·L-1 NaCl处理下较对照出现积累现象,随NaCl浓度升高(≥50 mmol·L-1)含量开始下降;与对照相比,H2 O2含量在NaCl胁迫下未出现积累现象.NaCl胁迫下,POD、CAT和APX活性较对照均有所提高;较高浓度的NaCl处理下,SOD、CAT和APX活性开始降低.实时荧光定量PCR结果表明,≥50 mmol·L-1NaCl胁迫下,SOD、CAT、POD和APX的表达水平较对照出现上升现象.这说明短时间的盐胁迫不会对木薯造成致死伤害,可以通过调节生理指标的活性来提高木薯的耐盐性.     

水分胁迫下山黧豆中ABA及ODAP的积累研究

用PEG、PEG+ABA、ABA分别处理15d龄的山黧豆幼苗,取其叶片为实验材料,测定内源ABA、ODAP、MDA和H₂O₂含量以及几种抗氧化酶活性,结果表明,与对照相比处理材料叶片中ABA和ODAP含量显著增加;外源ABA的加入降低了PEG胁迫引起的MDA和H₂O₂含量的增加,延缓了PEG胁迫引起的CAT活性的衰减,提高了GR活性.用外源ABA长时间处理山黧豆,发现叶片中ABA含量显著增加,随后出现ODAP的积累;ABA处理初期(0～3d)对叶片中活性氧代谢影响不大,随着ABA处理时间的延长(7～15d),可引起叶片中SOD、POD、CAT、GR活性的降低,MDA、H₂O₂含量的增加,表明ABA确实可促进ODAP的积累.     

外源亚精胺对荇菜抗Hg2+胁迫能力的影响

3 mg/L的Hg2降低了叶内亚精胺(spermidine,Spd)、精胺(spermine,Spm)含量,促进了腐胺(put resci ne,Put)合成,喷施Spd可提高叶内Spd、Spm含量,对Put含量则在低浓度下使其下降、高浓度(将近1mmo1/L)下使之上升.3mg/L的Hg2 可显著降低SOD、CaT、APx活性,提高02-产生速率,导致膜脂过氧化物(MDA)过量积累,造成叶绿素、可溶性蛋白大幅度下降.而喷施Spd可减轻Hg2 处理的这些作用,喷施的最适浓度为0.1～0.5 mmol/L.     

Effects of Exogenous Spermidine on Antioxidant System Responses of Typha latifolia L. Under Cd^2＋ Stress

The effects of foliar spraying with spermidine (Spd), ranging in concentration from 0.25 to 0.50 mmol/L, on the antioxidant system under Cd^2 stress (range 0.1- 0.2 mmol/L Cd^2 ) in Typha latifolia L. grown hydroponically were investigated in order to offer a referenced evidence for an understanding of the mechanism by which polyamines (PAs) relieve the damage to plants by heavy metal and improve the phytoremediation efficiency of heavy metal-contaminated water. The results showed that Cd^2 stress induced oxidative injury, as evidenced by an increase in the generation of superoxide anion (O2), as well as the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in both leaves and caudices. With the exception of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the leaves, an increase in the activities of catalase (CAT), guaiacol peroxidase (GPX), and glutathione reductase (GR) was observed in both leaves and caudices, SOD activity was increased in caudices, and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity was increased in leaves following Cd^2 treatment. The reduced glutathione (GSH) content in both leaves and caudices and the reductive ascorbate content in leaves was obviously increased, which were prompted by the application of exogenous Spd. Spraying with Spd increased the activity of GR and APX in both leaves and caudices, whereas the activity of SOD, CAT, and GPX was increased only in caudices following spraying with Spd. The generation of O2 and the H2O2 and MDA content in both leaves and caudices decreased after spraying with Spd. The decrease in MDA was more obvious following the application of 0.25 than 0.50 mmol/L Spd. It is supposed that exogenous Spd elevated the tolerance of T. latifolia under Cd^2 stress primarily by increasing GR activity and the GSH level.     

外源γ-氨基丁酸对低氧胁迫下甜瓜幼苗活性氧代谢的影响

以甜瓜品种‘西域一号’幼苗为材料,采用营养液水培方法,设置正常通气(对照)、正常通气+GABA(5mmol.L-1)、低氧胁迫、低氧胁迫+GABA(5mmol.L-1)4个处理,研究了外源γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)对正常通气和低氧胁迫下甜瓜幼苗活性氧代谢的影响。结果表明:与正常通气处理相比,低氧胁迫处理导致甜瓜幼苗体内O2.-产生速率和H2O2、MDA含量显著增加,同时SOD、POD、CAT、APX、GR等抗氧化酶活性和抗氧化物质AsA、GSH含量显著提高。低氧胁迫下外源GABA能显著提高甜瓜幼苗叶片SOD、CAT、APX、GR等酶活性和AsA、GSH含量,降低了植株体内O2.-产生速率和H2O2、MDA含量;而正常通气条件下添加外源GABA处理对甜瓜幼苗活性氧代谢的影响较小,仅CAT、GR活性和AsA、GSH含量显著提高,而H2O2、MDA含量显著降低。结果证明,添加外源GABA可以通过显著提高低氧胁迫下抗氧化酶活性和抗氧化物质含量来降低甜瓜幼苗活性氧积累,维持其细胞膜结构稳定性,从而有效减轻低氧胁迫对甜瓜幼苗的伤害。     

Role of abscissic acid in water stress-induced antioxidant defense in leaves of maize seedlings

Roles of abscisic acid (ABA) in water stress-induced oxidative stress were investigated in leaves of maize ( Zea mays L.) seedlings exposed to water stress induced by polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000). Treatment with PEG at -0.7 MPa for 12 and 24 h led to a reduction in leaf relative water content (RWC) by 7.8 and 14.1%, respectively. Duration of the osmotic treatments is considered as mild and moderate water stress. The mild water stress caused significant increases in the generation of superoxide radical ( O 2 - ) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR) and the contents of ascorbate (ASC), reduced glutathione (GSH). The moderate water stress failed to further enhance the capacity of antioxidant defense systems, as compared to the mild water stress. The contents of catalytic Fe, which is critical for H 2 O 2 -dependent hydroxyl radical ( •OH) production, and the oxidized forms of ascorbate and glutathione pools, dehydroascorbate (DHA) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG), markedly increased, a significant oxidative damage to lipids and proteins took place under the moderate water stress. Pretreatment with ABA caused an obvious reduction in the content of catalytic Fe and significant increases in the activities of antioxidant enzymes and the contents of non-enzymatic antioxidants, and then significantly reduced the contents of DHA and GSSG and the degrees of oxidative damage in leaves exposed to the moderate water stress. Pretreatment with an ABA biosynthesis inhibitor, tungstate, significantly suppressed the accumulation of ABA induced by water stress, reduced the enhancement in the capacity of antioxidant defense systems, and resulted in an increase in catalytic Fe, DHA and GSSG, and oxidative damage in the water-stressed leaves. These effects were completely prevented by addition of ABA, which raised the internal ABA content. Our data indicate that ABA plays an important role in water stress-induced antioxidant defense against oxidative stress.     

The activity of antioxidant enzymes in Arabidopsis thaliana exposed to colchicine and H2O2

Studies on the possible interference of colchicine and H2O2 with the activity of some antioxidant enzymes were carried out on Arabidopsis thaliana v. Columbia grown in Murashige and Skooge nutrient medium. Measurements of superoxide dismutase (SOD), guaiacol peroxidase (POX), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and catalase (CAT) activities were conducted spectrophotometrically. In the presence of colchicine, SOD activity increased, while CAT, APX and POX activities decreased. Inhibitory H2O2 effects on the activity of the enzymes were found. Colchicine pre-treatment resulted in an increase in CAT activity and a further increase in SOD activity in plants treated with H2O2.     

Effects of Exogenous Spermidine on Antioxidant System Responses of Typha latifolia L. Under Cd2+ Stress

The effects of foliar spraying with spermidine (Spd), ranging in concentration from 0.25 to 0.50mmol/L, on the antioxidant system under Cd2 stress (range 0.1- 0.2 mmol/L Cd2 ) in Typha latifolia L.grown hydroponically were investigated in order to offer a referenced evidence for an understanding of the mechanism by which polyamines (PAs) relieve the damage to plants by heavy metal and improve the phytoremediation efficiency of heavy metal-contaminated water. The results showed that Cd2 stress inhydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in both leaves and caudices. With theexception of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the leaves, an increase in the activities of catalase (CAT), guaiacol peroxidase (GPX), and glutathione reductase (GR) was observed in both leaves and caudices,SOD activity was increased in caudices, and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity was increased in leaves following Cd2 treatment. The reduced glutathione (GSH) content in both leaves and caudices and the reductive ascorbate content in leaves was obviously increased, which were prompted by the application of exogenous Spd. Spraying with Spd increased the activity of GR and APX in both leaves and caudices,whereas the activity of SOD, CAT, and GPX was increased only in caudices following spraying with Spd.with Spd. The decrease in MDA was more obvious following the application of 0.25 than 0.50 mmol/L Spd.It is supposed that exogenous Spd elevated the tolerance of T. latifolia under Cd2 stress primarily by increasing GR activity and the GSH level.     

2-Benzoxazolinone (BOA) induced oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation and changes in some antioxidant enzyme activities in mung bean (Phaseolus aureus)

2-Benzoxazolinone (BOA), a well-known allelochemical with strong phytotoxicity, is a potential herbicidal candidate. The aim of the present study was to determine whether phytotoxicity of BOA is due to induction of oxidative stress caused by generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the changes in levels of antioxidant enzymes induced in response to BOA. Effect of BOA was studied on electrolyte leakage, lipid peroxidation (LP), hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) generation, proline (PRO) accumulation, and activities of antioxidant enzymes-superoxide dismutase (SOD, 1.15.1.1), ascorbate peroxidase (APX, 1.11.1.11), guaiacol peroxidase (GPX, 1.11.1.7), catalase (CAT, 1.11.1.6) and glutathione reductase (GR, 1.6.4.2) in Phaseolus aureus (mung bean). BOA significantly enhanced malondialdehyde (MDA) content, a product of LP, in both leaves and roots of mung bean. The amount of H(2)O(2), a product of oxidative stress, and endogenous PRO increased many-fold in response to BOA. Accumulation of PRO, MDA and H(2)O(2) indicates the cellular damage in the target tissue caused by ROS generated by BOA. In response to BOA, there was a significant increase in the activities of scavenging enzymes SOD, APX, GPX, CAT, and GR in root and leaf tissue of mung bean. At 5 mM BOA, GR activity in roots showed a nearly 22-fold increase over that in control. The present study concludes that BOA induces oxidative stress in mung bean through generation of ROS and upregulation of activities of various scavenging enzymes.     

等渗盐胁迫对番茄抗氧化酶和ATP酶及焦磷酸酶活性的影响

用Ca(NO3)2 80 mmol/L和NaCl 120 mmol/L等渗溶液处理番茄幼苗后,细胞质和叶绿体中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)的活性升高,并且NaCl胁迫的作用明显高于Ca(NO3)2胁迫.Ca(NO3)2处理提高了线粒体中SOD、CAT、APX的活性,而NaCl处理降低了它们的活性.根系质膜H -ATPase、液泡膜H -ATPase、焦磷酸酶(H -PPase)的活性和叶片丙二醛(MDA)及脯氨酸含量在两种盐胁迫后明显增加.NaCl处理对植株生长的抑制程度明显高于Ca(NO3)2处理.     

Effect of abiotic stresses on the activity of antioxidative enzymes and contents of phytohormones in wild type and AtCKX2 transgenic tobacco plants

The responses of antioxidant enzymes (AOE) ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) in soluble protein extracts from leaves and roots of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Samsun NN) plants to the drought stress, salinity and enhanced zinc concentration were investigated. The studied tobacco included wild-type (WT) and transgenic plants (AtCKX2) harbouring the cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase gene under control of 35S promoter from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtCKX2). The transgenic plants exhibited highly enhanced CKX activity and decreased contents of cytokinins and abscisic acid in both leaves and roots, altered phenotype, retarded growth, and postponed senescence onset. Under control conditions, the AtCKX2 plants exhibited noticeably higher activity of GR in leaves and APX and SOD in roots. CAT activity in leaves always decreased upon stresses in WT while increased in AtCKX2 plants. On the contrary, the SOD activity was enhanced in WT but declined in AtCKX2 leaves. In roots, the APX activity prevailingly increased in WT while mainly decreased in AtCKX2 in response to the stresses. Both WT and AtCKX2 leaves as well as roots exhibited elevated abscisic acid content and increased CKX activity under all stresses while endogenous CKs and IAA contents were not much affected by stress treatments in either WT or transgenic plants.
