温度对棉纤维糖代谢相关酶活性的影响

以棉纤维比强度高的科棉1号和中等强度的美棉33B 2个基因型棉花品种为材料,于2005年在江苏南京(长江流域下游棉区)和徐州(黄河流域黄淮棉区)设置不同播期(4月25日和5月25日)试验,研究了不同温度下棉纤维发育过程中蔗糖酶、蔗糖合成酶、磷酸蔗糖合成酶和β-1,3-葡聚糖酶等糖代谢相关酶活性的动态变化特征及其与纤维长度和比强度形成的关系.结果表明：棉纤维伸长发育期,蔗糖酶、β-1,3-葡聚糖酶活性较高;纤维加厚发育期,蔗糖合成酶和磷酸蔗糖合成酶活性上升速度快、活性高,蔗糖酶和β-1,3-葡聚糖酶活性下降速度快.纤维伸长期,蔗糖酶活性升高对纤维的伸长具有明显促进作用;纤维加厚发育期,提高蔗糖合成酶、磷酸蔗糖合成酶活性及加快蔗糖酶和β-1,3-葡聚糖酶活性下降速度有利于提高纤维比强度.科棉1号前期蔗糖酶、β-1,3-葡聚糖酶活性及中后期蔗糖合成酶、磷酸蔗糖合成酶活性均较美棉33B高.在本试验条件下,23.3 ℃是高强纤维形成的适宜温度,23.3 ℃～25.5 ℃是纤维长度形成的适宜温度.     

寡糖对向日葵叶片细胞病程相关蛋白及细胞壁物质的诱导作用

用寡糖对向日葵叶片进行喷雾,研究了该寡糖对向日葵叶片细胞内几丁质酶和β-1,3-葡聚糖酶2种病程相关蛋白(PRs蛋白)以及木质素、富含羟脯氨酸蛋白(HRGP)2种细胞壁物质含量的影响.结果表明,经寡糖处理后,向日葵叶片中β-1,3-葡聚糖酶和几丁质酶的活性均升高,最高值分别比同期CK增加36.38%和6.35%;木质素及HRGP含量也诱导增加,最高值分别比同期CK显著增加39.15%和47.13%.在寡糖处理后接种病原菌的向日葵叶片中,β-1,3-葡聚糖酶及细胞壁物质被诱导合成,且合成量均较单独寡糖处理与单独接种锈菌处理要高.研究发现,诱导向日葵幼苗叶片的几丁质酶、β-1,3-葡聚糖酶活性增强和细胞壁木质素、HRGP含量增加,可能是寡糖预处理增强向日葵抗锈性的内在机制.     

6-BA和ABA缓解棉纤维发育低温胁迫的生理机制

以科棉1号棉花品种为材料,于2006、2007年在江苏南京(长江流域下游棉区)设置播期(4月25日、5月25日)和生长调节剂(6-BA、ABA)试验,研究低温条件下,外施6-BA、ABA对棉铃及棉纤维发育的影响及其生理机制.结果表明:常温和低温条件下,6-BA处理均能使相应部位棉铃铃质量增加、纤维品质提高;ABA处理在常温条件下会导致品质下降,而在低温逆境条件下可使纤维品质下降幅度减小;6-BA显著提高了棉铃蔗糖含量及蔗糖合成酶、蔗糖磷酸合成酶活性,而ABA则可诱导β-1,3-葡聚糖酶活性;6-BA、ABA对纤维发育关键酶蔗糖转化酶活性的作用效果均不显著.低温条件下外施6-BA、ABA均可提高棉纤维品质,但两者作用机制不尽相同:6-BA主要通过提高纤维素合成相关酶的活性,而ABA则主要通过诱导棉株抗逆性来提高纤维品质.     

不同温度敏感性棉花纤维发育相关酶活性变化对低温的响应

选用纤维比强度形成存在温度敏感性差异的两个棉花品种（科棉1号：温度弱敏感型品种,苏棉15：温度敏感型品种）为材料,于2006—2007年在江苏南京设置大田分期播种试验,使棉纤维发育处于不同的温度条件,研究低温对棉纤维发育相关酶（蔗糖酶、蔗糖合成酶、磷酸蔗糖合成酶、β-1,3-葡聚糖酶）活性及相应基因表达的影响.结果表明：由晚播造成的低温（棉纤维发育期日均最低温分别为21.1、20.5和18.1 ℃）影响了纤维发育相关酶的活性变化,从而影响了棉纤维素累积和纤维比强度的形成.低温提高了纤维中蔗糖酶和β-1,3-葡聚糖酶的活性,降低了蔗糖合成酶和磷酸蔗糖合成酶的活性.低温使Expansin、蔗糖合成酶基因的高表达时间延长,β-1,3-葡聚糖酶基因的表达峰值出现时间延迟,且表达量降低.两个棉花品种的纤维素合成相关酶对低温的响应存在差异,温度敏感型品种（苏棉15）的酶活性的变化幅度明显高于温度弱敏感型品种（科棉1号）, 可能是导致不同棉花品种纤维比强度形成存在温度敏感性差异的主要原因.     

生防木霉菌β-1,3-葡聚糖酶活性研究

通过采取还原糖法对生防木霉菌真菌2号和真菌4号菌株在不同发酵时间产β-1,3-葡聚糖酶活性进行测定,对其产β-1,3-葡聚糖酶特性进行初步研究。结果表明,同一菌株在不同发酵时间β-1,3-葡聚糖酶活性大小变化的趋势大致相同,并均在培养72 h时β-1,3-葡聚糖酶活性达到最大,在相同发酵时间,真菌2号菌株比真菌4号菌株的β-1,3-葡聚糖酶活性要高。     

棉花纤维发育关键酶对氮素的响应及其与纤维比强度形成的关系

大田栽培条件下,于2005～2006年在江苏南京（118°50′E,32°02′N,长江流域下游棉区）以美棉33B（平均比强度32cN／tex）和科棉1号（平均比强度35cN／tex）2个品种为材料,进行氮素水平（O（零氮）,240（适氮）和480kgN／hm^2（高氮））实验,研究棉花纤维发育关键酶（蔗糖合成酶和β-1,3-葡聚糖酶）活性变化特征对氮素的响应及其与纤维比强度形成的关系．结果表明,棉纤维发育关键酶活性及其基因表达强度均受氮素影响,并影响棉纤维素的累积特征及纤维比强度的形成．蔗糖合成酶活性随铃龄增加呈单峰曲线,峰值出现在铃龄31天,其基因表达强度在7～21天维持较高水平;氮素水平间比较,以240kgN／hm^2处理的蔗糖合成酶活性及其基因表达强度最高,酶活性高表达持续时间长．β-1,3-葡聚糖酶活性随铃龄增加呈下降趋势,其基因表达在铃龄7～24天间呈单峰曲线,铃龄18天时达到峰值;氮素水平间比较,以240kgN／hm^2处理的β-1,3-葡聚糖酶活性最高,其基因表达量在纤维发育前期（铃龄9～12天）较低,之后大幅增加且稳定表达．240kgN／hm^2下棉纤维发育关键酶的上述变化促进纤维素累积持续期长且整个纤维发育过程中纤维素累积速率平缓,最终形成纤维比强度较高。     

棉纤维加厚发育相关物质对纤维比强度的影响

以高、中、低纤维比强度棉花品种科棉1号、美棉33B、苏棉15号和德夏棉1号为材料,研究与棉纤维加厚发育密切相关的可溶性糖、蔗糖和-β1,3-葡聚糖含量动态变化特性及其对纤维比强度形成的影响.结果显示,与中、低强纤维品种相比,高强纤维品种棉花铃龄为10 d时纤维可溶性糖、蔗糖含量高,全铃期内其转化率高且转化彻底,铃龄为24~31 d期间蔗糖累积量高;纤维加厚发育起始期的-β1,3-葡聚糖含量峰值高,其中后期转化迅速而彻底.高强纤维品种棉纤维中可溶性糖、蔗糖和-β1,3-葡聚糖含量动态变化特性利于纤维素累积特性的优化,即快速累积期长、累积速率平缓,易形成高强纤维.研究表明,在物质变化水平上,可溶性糖、蔗糖和β-1,3-葡聚糖含量动态变化特性影响到棉纤维素累积特性,是导致棉纤维比强度品种差异的重要原因.     

小麦叶片β-1,3-葡聚糖酶的诱导、纯化与抗菌活性

三个小麦品种331、抗倒680和鲁麦23经氯化汞、水杨酸或核黄素处理后,叶片中的β-1,3-葡聚糖酶活性均有不同程度的升高.氯化汞处理24h对品种331该酶活性的诱导作用最强.因此取用氯化汞处理24 h的331小麦叶片研磨得到粗酶液.将粗酶液经硫酸铵分级沉淀、Phenyl-Sepharose Fast Flow疏水层析、DEAE-Sepharose Fast Flow阴离子交换层析和Sephacryl S-100分子筛层析,得到了SDS-PAGE凝胶电泳谱带单一的β-1,3-葡聚糖酶样品.经SDS-PAGE(12%)和凝胶过滤层析,测得其分子量约为52.0～53.6 kD.抗菌试验测定显示,纯化的β-1,3-葡聚糖酶对供试的4种病原真菌的生长、孢子萌发或芽管伸长都有一定程度的抑制作用.     

PEG和表面活性剂对棉纤维细胞合成葡聚糖的影响

以陆地棉岱字-15号棉纤维细胞为材料,用3H-葡聚糖示踪方法测定β-1,3-葡聚糖和纤维素的合成。PEG4000促进β-1,3-葡聚糖和纤维素的合成,对刺激纤维素的合成更有效;随着非离子型表面活性剂 Trion X-100和Tween 20浓度的升高,抑制β-1,3-葡聚糖和纤维素的合成程度也增加,但抑制纤维素的合成更为强烈;而阴离子表面活性剂SDS则有所不同,在较高浓度下,又出现对β-1,3-葡聚糖合成抑制的减弱,这可能与SDS载负电荷的缘故有关。结果提示,完整的细胞膜有利于纤维素的合成,细胞膜损伤则利于β-1,3-葡聚糖的合成。     

低温对棉纤维比强度形成的生理机制影响

通过设置播期试验使棉纤维加厚发育过程(铃龄25~50 d)处于不同的温度条件下,研究低温对棉花纤维比强度形成的内在生理机制影响,为采取调控措施解决目前棉花(Gossypium)生产中存在的晚熟劣质问题提供理论依据。两年试验结果表明:棉纤维加厚发育期24.0 ℃左右的日均温是高强纤维形成的最佳温度,其内在生理机制表现为棉纤维蔗糖合成酶活性最高,β_1,3_葡聚糖酶活性最低,纤维素的累积量和累积速率均明显高于其它低温条件,纤维超分子结构取向参数角较小,处于优化状态,最终表现为纤维比强度亦最大;低于21.0 ℃时即对棉纤维加厚发育相关酶活性产生明显影响,纤维比强度降低。当温度降到15.0 ℃左右时,棉纤维蔗糖合成酶活性显著降低,而β-1,3_葡聚糖酶活性显著升高,同时纤维素累积量和累积速率均显著降低,纤维超分子结构取向参数角明显宽化,棉纤维不能正常发育,不利于高强纤维的形成(铃重仅为3.22 g,纤维比强度仅为15.73 cN·tex^-1)。     

糖代谢相关酶在灵武长枣叶片和果柄糖积累中的作用

以不同发育时期灵武长枣为试材,测定果实生长发育过程中叶片、果柄可溶性糖含量及蔗糖代谢相关酶活性的变化,探讨果实生长发育过程中叶片、果柄糖的积累与蔗糖代谢相关酶活性的关系。结果表明:(1)灵武长枣叶片、果柄均主要以积累蔗糖为主,叶片、果柄中葡萄糖和果糖含量的变化平缓且随果实发育略有上升,蔗糖含量则呈先下降后迅速上升的趋势,且蔗糖含量始终高于葡萄糖和果糖的含量。(2)在果实的整个发育期,叶片和果柄的酸性转化酶(AI)活性均远高于中性转化酶(NI),AI在前期升高后变化较平稳,而蔗糖合成酶(SS)和蔗糖磷酸合成酶(SPS)活性的变化各不相同。(3)SS分解方向酶活性(SSd)对叶片和果柄蔗糖的积累具有重要的调节作用。研究认为,蔗糖合成酶分解方向酶活性(SSd)对灵武长枣叶片和果柄蔗糖的积累起主要的调控作用。     

Dynamic changes in carbohydrate metabolism and endogenous hormones during <Emphasis Type="Italic">Tulipa edulis</Emphasis> stolon development into a new bulb

The stolon is the main asexual reproductive organ of Tulipa edulis (Miq.) Baker. It has a special morphology and can develop into a new bulb for propagation. In the current greenhouse experiment, the dynamic changes in carbohydrates and related enzymes, protein and endogenous hormones during T. edulis stolon development were investigated. The results showed that soluble sugar levels were basically declining, whereas starch and protein content rose continuously during stolon development. The adenosine diphosphoglucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) activity peaked in the initial swelling stage and stayed a relative high level in the middle swelling stage; sucrose synthase (SS), soluble starch synthase (SSS) and granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS) activities followed the same law that showed rising trends during stolon development. SS activity was significantly inversely related to sucrose content but had significantly positive relations with starch content, SSS and GBSS activities. Gibberellin (GA), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and zeatin riboside (ZR) peaked in the initial swelling stage and maintained high levels in the middle swelling stage; they then decreased significantly in the later swelling stage. A substantial increase was observed in abscisic acid (ABA) content until the middle swelling stage, followed by a significant reduction in the later swelling stage. The ratios of ABA to IAA, GA and ZR reached their lowest levels in the initial swelling stage. In conclusion, T. edulis stolon development is a process of new bulb morphogenesis along with the starch accumulation catalyzed by AGPase, SSS and GBSS, using the product of sucrose cleavage caused by SS. Initial low ABA content and low ratios of ABA to IAA, GA and ZR, together with the GA, IAA and ZR of high-content, soluble sugars worked more efficiently to induce new bulb formation.     

Abscisic acid, indole-3-acetic acid and mineral–nutrient changes induced by drought and salinity in longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.) plants

Longan species (Dimocarpus longan Lour.) exhibit a high agronomic potential in many subtropical regions worldwide; however, little is known about its responses to abiotic stress conditions. Drought and salinity are the most environmental factors inducing negative effects on plant growth and development. In order to elucidate the responses of longan to drought and salinity, seedlings were grown under conditions of drought and salt stresses. Drought was imposed by suspending water supply leading to progressive soil dehydration, and salinity was induced using two concentrations of NaCl, 100 and 150 mM in water solution, for 64 days. Data showed that salt concentrations increased foliar abscisic acid (ABA) and only 150 mM NaCl reduced indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and increased proline levels. NaCl treatments also increased Na⁺ and Cl^? content in plant organs proportionally to salt concentration. Drought increased leaf ABA but did not change IAA concentrations, and also increased proline synthesis. In addition, drought and salt stresses reduced the photosynthesis performance; however, only drought decreased leaf growth and relative leaf water content. Overall, data indicate that under severe salt stress, high ABA accumulation was accompanied by a reduction of IAA levels; however, drought strongly increased ABA but did not change IAA concentrations. Moreover, drought and high salinity similarly increased (or maintained) ion levels and proline synthesis. Data also suggest that ABA accumulation may mitigate the impact of salt stress through inducing stomatal closure and delaying water loss, but did not mediate the effects of long-term drought conditions probably because leaves reached a strong dehydration and the role of ABA at this stage was not effective to detain leaf injuries.     

Effects of gibberellins, darkness and osmotica on endosperm rupture and class I β-1,3-glucanase induction in tobacco seed germination

The “Havana 425” cultivar of Nicotiana tabacum L. is photodormant. Gibberellins (e.g. 10^?5 M GA₄ or GA₇) can substitute for light in releasing dormancy. Measurements of β-1,3-glucanase activity, mRNA accumulation and the activity of the class I β-1,3-glucanase B promoter indicated that class I β-1,3-glucanases are induced by GA₄ in the dark in association with germination. As in the light, this induction occurred prior to endosperm rupture and was localized exclusively in the micropylar region of the endosperm where the radicle will penetrate. Abscisic acid (ABA, 10^?5 M) did not appreciably affect GA-induced release of photodormancy or seed-coat rupture, but it delayed endosperm rupture and inhibited the rate of class I β-1,3-glucanase accumulation. Seeds imbibed in the light in the presence of osmotica, e.g. 0.04 M polyethylene glycol 6000, showed delayed seed-coat and endosperm rupture, delayed onset of β-1,3-glucanase induction, and decreased rates of β-1,3-glucanase accumulation. These delays were shortened by GA₄ treatment. Our results suggest that GAs and ABA act at two distinct sites during germination and that expansive growth of the embryo acts in two ways by triggering β-1,3-glucanase induction and by providing force for endosperm penetration. This provides further support for our working hypothesis that class I β-1,3-glucanases promote endosperm weakening and facilitate radicle penetration.     

枣花芽分化过程中营养物质和内源激素含量及抗氧化酶活性变化研究

以新疆主栽品种灰枣和骏枣的花芽为材料,测定不同分化时期花芽的可溶性糖、还原糖、淀粉、可溶性蛋白含量,SOD、POD、PPO、CAT活性以及内源GA₃、IAA、ABA、ZT水平的变化,并分析它们与花芽分化的关系,为枣花芽分化调控提供理论参考。结果表明:(1)灰枣和骏枣花芽可溶性糖、还原糖和淀粉含量在花芽分化过程的变化趋势基本相似,于花原基分化期至雌蕊分化期先降低后升高,至雌蕊分化期到达峰值;而可溶性蛋白质含量变化趋势相反,在花原基分化期至雌蕊分化期先上升再降低。(2)在整个花芽分化过程中,其POD、PPO、CAT活性变化趋势基本一致,从花芽开始分化后逐步降低,最低点出现在雌蕊分化期;两个品种花芽SOD活性在花原基分化期至分化初期时显著上升,之后SOD活性在灰枣中不断降低,而在骏枣中则显著上升。(3)两品种花芽IAA、GA₃、ZT含量在分化过程中的变化规律基本相似,它们均在萼片分化期前呈下降趋势,之后GA₃、ZT含量及灰枣中IAA含量逐渐上升,而骏枣IAA含量在萼片分化期至花瓣分化期呈先显著上升后下降再上升;灰枣ABA含量在花原基分化期至萼片分化期显著上升,而同期骏枣则显著降低,随着分化进程的推进,灰枣ABA含量在萼片分化期后逐步降低,而骏枣则逐步上升并在雌蕊分化期达到峰值。(4)花芽分化开始后,骏枣ABA/IAA、ZT/IAA、GA₃/IAA比值快速上升,但GA₃/ABA、ZT/ABA的比值呈下降趋势;灰枣ZT/IAA、GA₃/IAA在花原基分化期至萼片分化期显著上升后降低,分化结束后低于花原基分化期。研究认为,枣花芽开始分化后会消耗大量的营养物质,导致花芽的可溶性糖、淀粉和还原糖含量降低,且整个分化过程中淀粉含量始终高于可溶性糖和还原糖含量;两个品种枣花芽分化过程中POD、CAT、PPO活性下降以及骏枣花芽分化过程中SOD活性的上升均有利于枣营养生长向生殖生长的转变,且枣花芽分化过程中低水平的GA₃和IAA、中等水平的ABA、较高水平的ZT,以及较高的ZT/IAA、ABA/IAA和GA₃/IAA有利于枣花芽分化和花芽形成。     

Changes in the Levels of IAA and ABA in Cucumber Leaves under Progressive Soil Drought

Changes in the IAA and ABA contents in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) leaves during adaptation to drought were studied. An increase in the water-retaining capacity and heat resistance of leaves indicating the onset of adaptation occurred when the leaf growth has been already suppressed. There was a transient increase in the ABA content during the initial stage of adaptation. An increased IAA content was maintained for a longer period, throughout about two-third of the adaptation period. A second increase in the ABA content was observed before the onset of leaf permanent wilting, when IAA content already decreased. Our data suggest that not only ABA, but also IAA are involved in the development of defense responses during the adaptation to drought.     

Genotypic differences in some physiological characteristics during cotton fiber thickening and its influence on fiber strength

Cotton (Gossypium L.) fiber strength is linked with many complex physiological and biochemical processes in the stage of secondary fiber cell wall thickening. With the aim of further exploiting of the relationship between fiber strength and genotypic differences in physiological characteristics, the experiment was implemented in Nanjing, China (in the lower reach of Yangtze River Valley in China) at the stage of cotton fiber thickening stage in 2004–2005. The result showed that the higher strength fiber (genotype Kemian 1) always had higher activities of sucrose synthetase (SuSy) and β-1,3-glucan synthase, and more sucrose and callose existed and transformed for cellulose synthesis than these of the other genotypes during the fiber secondary wall thickening period These resulted in a longer and more gently cellulose accumulation and wider range and longer period of fiber strength enhancing. Interestingly, the opposite effects were observed in lower strength fiber of Dexiamian 1 and intermediary indices were found in NuCOTN 33B with middle strength fiber. Taken together, above results suggested the variations in the transformation of sucrose and callose contents, and the dynamics of sucrose synthase and β-1,3-glucan synthase activities, might be one of the physiological reasons causing the differences in the speed of cellulose accumulation and fiber strength formation. Additionally, other results showed: (1) the occurrence of callose content peak might be an important sign of the onset of the secondary wall thickening in the fiber cell; (2) the duration and the maximum growth rate of cellulose rapid accumulation contribute more to fiber strength development than other indices of cellulose rapid accumulation.     

Phytohormone-mediated transformation of sugars to starch in relation to the activities of amylases, sucrose-metabolising enzymes in sorghum grain

Indole-acetic acid (IAA) and abscisic acid (ABA) were fed throughcomplete liquid medium (containing 2, 4, 8% sucrose) to detached earheads of sorghum. The effect of these phytohormones on interconvertion ofsugarsand their transformation to starch in relation to the activities of-, -amylases, sucrose-synthase (synthesis), sucrose-phosphatesynthase and soluble invertases was studied in the grain. This effect on theuptake of (U-¹⁴C) sucrose by detached ear heads and incorporation of¹⁴C into free sugars and starch of grain and into free sugars ofinflorescence parts was also studied. At concentrations of up to 4%sucrose in the culture medium, IAA increased the content of total free sugarsinthe grain. However, accumulation of starch and activities of - and-amylases increased when lAA was present even beyond the 4%sucroseconcentration in the culture medium. At all sucrose concentrations, the effectsof ABA and IAA were opposite. With 4% sucrose, both phytohormones causedmaximum accumulation of starch in the grain. ABA enhanced the relativeproportion of sucrose in the sugar pool with a concomitant reduction in theactivities of soluble acid (pH 4.8) and neutral (pH 7.5) invertases. Incontrast, IAA decreased the sucrose proportion of grain sugars with asimultaneous elevation and reduction in the activities of invertases andsucrose-phosphate synthase, respectively. Irrespective of sucrose concentrationin the culture medium, the activity of sucrose synthase (synthesis) wasenhancedwith IAA as well as ABA at their 10 M concentration. IAA alsoenhanced incorporation of ¹⁴C from (U-¹⁴C) sucrose intothe EtOH extract (principally constituted by free sugars) and starch of thegrain, but ABA caused the reverse effect. Based on the results, it is suggestedthat IAA and ABA have contrasting effects on the transformation of sucrose tostarch in sorghum grain where its capacity to synthesise starch is modulatedpositively by IAA and negatively by ABA.
