超干种子的膜功能与糖组分的研究

采用两相法分离种子质膜,研究超干处理对种子质膜ATP酶活力及膜流动性的影响.结果表明,白菜(Brassica pekinensis(Lour.)Rupr.)、榆树(Ulmus pumila L.)种子经超干处理后,在人工老化和自然老化条件下,与在-20℃条件下贮藏的种子比较,超干贮藏种子质膜ATP酶活力和微粘度无显著变化,过于贮藏种子的效应虽有所下降,但仍比高含水量室温贮藏的对照种子为好.此结果与超干种子具较高活力水平完全一致,说明超干贮藏种子保持了质膜的生理功能,因此提高了种子的耐藏性.高效液相色谱分析结果显示超干种子中还原糖/非还原糖的比值低于高含水量种子,积累的蔗糖、水苏糖含量与超干种子的耐干力有关.玉米(Zea mays L.)种子中不含水苏糖,这可能是玉米种子较其他种子耐干力下降的原因之一.

为了研究菜豆种子超干贮藏的适宜含水量及其机理,采用人工老化法对不同含水量的菜豆种子在老化过程中的活力变化与生理特性进行了研究。通过对含水量为3．4％～9．0％老化菜豆种子的发芽率、脱氢酶和酸性磷酸酶活性以及丙二醛含量等指标的检测,结果表明菜豆种子含水量(MC)降至3．8％,能显著提高抗老化劣变的能力。在同等老化处理(50C、20d)后,未超干种子(MC=6．9％～9．0％)发芽率已大幅度下降,而超干种子(MC=3．8％～3．4％)的发芽率仍保持一个很高的水平。与未超干种子相比,超干种子脱氢酶和酸性磷酸酶活性明显升高,而丙二醛含量则显著降低。不同含水量菜豆种子POD同工酶谱不同。

Effects of Moisture Content on Germination of Seeds of Hancornia speciosa Gom. (Apocynaceae)

Seeds of Hancornia speciosa germinated best at a temperatureof 20–30 °C. The viability of the seeds during storagewas short and the best storage conditions for viability entailedkeeping the seeds in polyethylene bags. Seed viability was maintainedonly when the seeds were stored at a moisture content above30%; storage conditions which allowed dehydration resulted ina rapid loss of viability (the seeds showed recalcitrant behaviour). Low temperature during storage did not improve longevity. Arelationship between germination and moisture content was established,but when the moisture content fell below 25% there was a drasticreduction of germination. After 9 weeks of storage, even athigh moisture content, seeds lost viability. Loss of seed viability during seed dehydration was associatedwith increased leakage of electrolytes and organic solutes,and reduced tetrazolium staining during subsequent imbibition.

Starch Mobilization in Ultradried Seed of Maize (Zea mays L.) During Germination

The effects of ultradry storage on the starch mobilization in maize (Zea mays L.) seed after aging were investigated. The results indicated that there were no significant differences in the content of ATP,starch, and soluble sugar, as well as the activity of amylase, between ultradried seeds and seeds stored at -20 ℃ during germination. These results were consistent with the higher level of vigor of the ultradried seed. Sieve tube introduction of a fluorescence dye (carboxyl fluoresceindiacetate) and laser confocal microscopy were used to study the development of plasmodesmata in the ultradried seeds. The results indicated that plasmodesmata developed well in ultradried seeds. Fluorescence analysis also showed that the fluorescence intensity in the radicle of ultradried seeds was stronger than that in seeds with a higher moisture content. This suggests that ultradry treatment has no adverse effects on the seeds. After seed imbibition, cell orgaelles could be resumed. It is concluded that ultradry seed storage is beneficial for maintaining seed vigor and that starchy mobilization proceeds regularly during germination.     

Germination-associated events and the desiccation sensitivity of recalcitrant seeds — a study on three unrelated species

The storage behaviour of recalcitrant seeds was assessed using three diverse species: a gymnosperm, Araucaria angustifolia (Bert.) O. Kuntze; a herbaceous monocotyledon, Scadoxus membranaceus (Bak.) Friis Nordal; and a woody dicotyledon, Landolphia kirkii Dyer. Seeds were stored under conditions of high relative humidities that maintained seed moisture content and under low relative humidities that caused drying. At regular intervals moisture content was determined, germinability assessed and the ultrastructure of radicle meristem cells examined. Under storage at high relative humidity, seed moisture content was maintained at the original level and subcellular germination events were initiated in the short-term. Such seeds showed enhanced rates of germination when removed from storage and planted. Long-term storage under these conditions resulted in the initiation of subcellular damage which intensified with time and ultimately resulted in the loss of viability. The rate at which germination events proceeded varied among the three species, and could be directly correlated with the period of viability retention under humid storage conditions. Storage under desiccating conditions resulted in subcellular damage and rapid loss of viability. The rate at which the seeds dried varied among the three species. The proportion of water loss tolerated by the different species before loss of viability, correlated with the rate of drying. The storage behaviour of the seeds of these three species is discussed in terms of a previously described model.

Studies on Desiccation and Storage of Mango Seeds

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) seed is recalitrant which taken from ripened fruits con,ained as high as 69.2'–75.5% moisture content (The moisture content of embryonic axis is 73.8–86.3%). When seeds were naturally dried for 8 days, the moisture content declined to 39.1% (in embryonic axis the moisture content declined to 46.5%) and the viability of seeds completely lost. Embryonic axis lost water slower than whole seed because of the prevention of desiccation by the large cotyledons. During natural desiccation, the conductivity of leachate increased rapidly from 2.2 μΩ·cm-1·g-1 (the same unit below) to 56.7, whereas the activities of dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase decreased drastically. When seeds were rapidly dried for 42 hours, the moisture content declined from 75.5 to 29.9%, the conductivity of leachate increased from 1.8 to 36.9 and the percentage germination changed from 100% to 10%. Desiccation damaged the cell membrane and decreased the activities of enzymes. Rapid drying was better for maintaining longevity than natural (slow) drying because the former did less damage to the cell membrane than natural (slow) drying as shown in the conductivity changes. The moisture content of excised embryonic axis decreased to 11.8% when they were dried for 8 hours by silicagel. The survival percentage of these embryonic axis was 80% when they were incubated in MS+0.2 mg/L BA+2.0 mg/L NAA+500 mg/L gln+3% sucrose+0–9% agar medium. Seeds with 51.0% moisture content (rapidly dried for l0 hours by electric fan blowing) had 65% viability after 7 months wet storage with the polyethylene bag at 15℃.     

顽拗性竹柏种子的贮藏特性

文章对竹柏(Podocarpus nagi)种子的脱水耐性和贮藏特性进行了研究,结果表明:竹柏种子成熟时初始含水量约为(35±0.7)%,种子对脱水敏感,其最低安全含水量约为(16.86±0.73)%,具有顽拗性种子的典型特征;湿藏和半干藏都可以作为短期保存竹柏种子的方法,且以4℃保存优于15℃保存,但不管种子含水量如何,零下低温保存对竹柏种子都是致命的;半干藏法保存实验中,未进行脱水处理的种子(对照)在4℃贮藏6个月,种子萌发率没有发生明显下降,但贮藏期延长到9个月时,临界含水量的种子萌发力保存最高;不管贮藏介质的含水量高低,也无论贮藏在4℃还是15℃,湿藏种子在9个月的贮藏期内萌发率均没有明显的降低,但当贮藏到12个月时,15℃湿藏种子的萌发率显著高于4℃贮藏的种子,但15℃湿藏的种子在贮藏到3个月时即发现种子在贮藏期间萌发,且随着贮藏介质含水量的升高和贮藏期的延长,萌发的种子增多;竹柏的离体胚经过2 h硅胶快速脱水至含水量7%后再冷冻即可获得90%以上的融后存活率,且超低温保存1年的离体胚解冻后,与只保存1周的存活率没有明显差异,表明超低温长期保存竹柏种子是可行的。本研究可以为进一步探究顽拗性种子的短期贮藏和长期保存提供理论基础和基础资料。

The Potential for Newly-Germinated Cabbage Seed Survival and Storage at Sub-Zero Temperatures

The moisture content of newly germinated cabbage seed (radicles1 05 mm long) was reduced to 14% of f.wt without loss of viability.As the moisture content was reduced below 45%, the temperatureat which the germinated seeds froze, and therefore died, decreasedprogressively to a minimum of –34 C at 19% moisture content.No freezing exotherms were recorded in seeds with moisture contentsbelow 19%. Seeds with a moisture content between 14 and 16%maintained viability for at least 1 week when cooled at 26C.min^–1to –20 C and held at this temperature, indicating thepotential for prolonged storage of these low-moisture-contentgerminated (LMCG) seeds.
