两种麻疯树苗对盐胁迫的生理生态响应

研究两种不同基因型麻疯树苗(南油2、3号)在不同NaCl浓度下生理生态响应特征,并比较不同基因型麻疯树苗的耐盐差异性。结果表明:①用25、50 mmo.lL-1NaCl处理,南油2号全株干重与对照无显著差异,而南油3号全株干重比对照显著降低。用100 mmol.L-1l或以上浓度的NaCl处理,随着盐度增加,两种树苗全株干重皆比对照显著降低,且3号苗降低的幅度大于2号苗。②在用200 mmol.L-1或以下浓度的NaCl处理,南油2、3号叶片相对含水量(RWC)皆与对照无显著差异,而在用300 mmol.L-1NaCl处理,则分别比对照显著降低5%和8%。③用25、50 mmol.L-1NaCl处理,南油2号可溶性糖(SS)含量比对照显著降低,3号与对照无显著差异;用200、300 mmo.lL-1NaCl处理后,两者SS含量均比对照显著降低。同时,2号苗可溶性蛋白(SP)含量比对照显著增加,3号苗SP含量与对照无显著差异。④随着盐度增加,南油2号苗超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性先增加后降低。用300 mmol.L-1NaCl处理,比对照显著降低。随着盐度增加,3号苗的SOD活性递减,皆显著低于对照。用25、50 mmo.lL-1NaCl处理,两种树苗的过氧化物酶(POD)活性与对照无显著差异。随着盐度增加,2号苗的POD活性比对照显著增加,而3号苗比对照显著降低。用25、50 mmo.lL-1NaCl处理,两种树苗的过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性皆比对照显著增加,且随着盐度增加,其变化趋势如SOD活性。结果表明,麻疯树幼苗具有较好的耐盐性,且南油2号比南油3号具有更高的耐盐性,因为前者具有更高的保护酶活性、叶片保水能力和叶片SP含量。     

用GC-MS分析不同采收和贮存时期的麻疯树种子油的脂肪酸

将采收于青果期、黄果期、黑果期及储存1a、2a的麻疯树种子提油,测定其理化性质,并利用GC-MS分析这5个不同时期的种子所提取的麻疯树种子油成分。结果表明:5个油样的水分、酸值、出油率有较大差异,主要化学成分、碘值、皂化值差异不大。青果的出油率为13.13%,水分为0.66%,酸值为69.21,不饱和脂肪酸含量最低。新采成熟果实的出油率为54.64%,水分为0.36%,酸值为1.51,不饱和脂肪酸含量也相对较高。因此,新采的成熟果实较为适合作生物柴油的原料。

麻疯树不同种源的结实性差异与初期选择

采用随机完全区组设计对5年生麻疯树Jatropha curcas种源林进行结实性调查。结果表明,不同种源麻疯树单株产种量有不同程度的差异,云南元阳种源最高,达218.96 g,四川盐边种源最低,仅为48.42 g。不同种源麻疯树种子平均含油率也有所不同,广西隆林种源最高,达42.80%,贵州望谟种源最低,为37.23%。单株产种量与种源地纬度、年均气温显著相关,而与种源地无霜期极显著相关,其中与纬度为负相关,与年均气温、无霜期为正相关,说明纬度较低、气温较高和无霜期较长的种源在福建平和县的单株产种量高。而种子平均含油率与各地理气象因子之间没有显著相关性。根据单株产种量和种子平均含油率聚类分析,分别将9个种源分成优、良、中、差4个不同的类别,综合来看,云南东南部和广西西北部可能是麻疯树的优良种源区,该区域内的5个种源,单株产种量达147.43 g,种子平均含油率达41.07%。     

多效唑浸种对NaCl胁迫麻疯树幼苗的生长调节效应

以'南油1号'麻风树幼苗为材料,通过盆栽试验研究了200 mmol·L-1 NaCl胁迫处理对不同浓度(0～1 000 mg·L-1)多效唑(PP333)浸种麻疯树幼苗生长和光合作用的影响.结果显示:在盐胁迫下,不同浓度的PP333浸种处理均显著降低麻疯树植株株高,但是均显著提高了盐胁迫下株高相对生长速率,同时提高了其干物质积累速率、根含水量、根冠比、叶绿素含量和净光合速率;并提高了幼苗根、叶的K+含量,降低根、叶的Na+和Cl-含量,从而提高根、叶的K+/Na+比率.研究表明,PP333浸种能缓解盐胁迫下麻疯树幼苗的失水程度和光合色素的下降幅度,有效改善其光合作用效率,同时维持体内的离子平衡,从而减轻盐胁迫伤害,促进植株生长,并以600 mg·L-1 PP333浸种效果最好.     

麻疯树种子的发育、萌发和脱水耐性的初步研究

研究了麻疯树种子的形态和萌发能力的变化,温度和光照对种子萌发的影响以及种子脱水耐性的变化.结果表明:麻疯树种子在开花后58 d达到生理成熟期,此时种子的萌发率达到最大值;生理成熟期种子的适宜萌发温度范围为25～30℃,对脱水不敏感,且光照对种子的萌发率无显著影响.因此麻疯树种子是一种光中性的正常性种子.     

麻疯树雌雄花中MADS-BOX基因的表达分析

麻疯树(Jatropha curcas)种子含油率高,种子中的油类物质可作为生物柴油被开发和利用,是极具潜力的生物质能源树种之一。麻疯树雌雄异花,在自然条件下雄花数量通常远远大于雌花,这大大限制了种子和油的产量,因此开展麻疯树性别分化与花发育分子机理的研究具有重要意义。该研究选取10个麻疯树的MADS-BOX基因(JcAGL1,JcAGL6,JcAGL9,JcAGL11,JcAGL15,JcAGL61-3,JcAGL62-1,JcAGL62-6,JcAGL62-7,JcAGL80-2),提取麻疯树早期发育各个阶段的雌雄花总RNA,并反转录成cDNA,采用实时荧光定量方法,探索早期发育不同阶段的麻疯树雌雄花目的基因的表达情况。结果表明:目的基因在发育起始的雌雄花中的表达具有差异,比如JcAGL6和JcAGL15在雄花中表达量要高于雌花,而JcAGL1,JcAGL9和JcAGL11在雌花中的表达量要高于雄花,这说明花原基中目的基因表达会直接或间接决定性别分化的方向;在之后的发育过程中,目的基因的表达情况在雌雄花中有所不同:随着花的发育,目的基因在雌雄花中的表达量变化存在差别,这反应出麻疯树雌雄花发育中目的基因表达模式上的差异;另外,也能看出在此过程中各个目的基因又发挥着不同的功能。该研究结果为进一步探究麻疯树雌雄花发育相关基因的表达提供了理论依据,为了解麻疯树性别分化和花发育的分子机理奠定了基础。     

施用污泥等废料对稀土矿废弃地土壤中麻疯树生长和元素吸收的影响

城市污泥等废料可以用于调理稀土矿废弃地土壤,而能源植物麻疯树有望成为稀土矿废弃地的先锋植物。本研究通过向稀土矿废弃地土壤中添加污泥(T₁)、污泥+蔗渣(T₂)、污泥+蔗渣+钝化剂(T₃),并以矿区土壤为对照(CK),研究盆栽条件下各处理对麻疯树生长和元素吸收的影响。结果表明: 与CK相比,T₁仅显著提高麻疯树株高,T₂、T₃显著提高麻疯树株高、地径和生物量,其中总生物量提高184.7%以上;3个处理均显著促进麻疯树对N、P、K、Cu的吸收;T₁、T₂显著提高基质中可交换态Zn、Cd、Ni比例,T₃则相反,并显著降低Zn、Cd、Ni在基质中的迁移系数和活性系数,抑制麻疯树对Zn、Pb、Cd、Ni的吸收,抑制率达36.1%以上。隶属函数综合评价结果表明,各处理对麻疯树生长的促进顺序为T₂>T₃>T₁>CK,对麻疯树吸收Cu、Zn、Pb、Cd、Ni的抑制顺序为T₃>CK>T₂>T₁。混施污泥和蔗渣显著促进麻疯树生长和元素吸收,进一步加入钝化剂则显著抑制麻疯树对重金属的吸收,但不影响麻疯树生长。     

酵母菌促进铅和镉胁迫下麻疯树生长的研究

为了筛选对铅和镉具有抗性和吸附性的酵母菌,构建麻疯树根系-酵母菌联合修复体系,促进高浓度铅和镉胁迫下麻疯树的生长。该研究分别从麻疯树的根段、珙桐的茎段、珙桐的根段分离到3株具有铅、镉抗性的酵母菌,分别命名为Jc、Di1、Di2,测定了三者对铅、镉的抗性和吸附性,并将筛选出的2株能吸附铅、镉的酵母菌菌株接种到麻疯树幼苗,研究接种两种酵母菌的麻疯树植株对铅、镉胁迫的响应。结果表明:经形态学和生理生化特征观察,Jc初步鉴定红酵母属(Rhodotorula sp.),Di1为假丝酵母属(Candida sp.),Di2为德巴利酵母属(Debaryomyces sp.)。三种酵母菌对铅、镉都有一定的抗性,其抗性能力的大小为JcDi2Di1。Di1和Jc对铅和镉都具有一定的吸附性将其用于接种麻疯树幼苗。与不接种酵母菌(CK)的麻疯树植株相比,接种Di1和Jc的麻疯树植株在根、茎、叶、全株干重方面显著增加,叶绿素、全株氮、全株磷浓度显著增加,SOD、POD、CAT的活性提高,丙二醛(MDA)浓度显著下降。从综合接种效应来看,Jc、Di1作为铅、镉的钝化剂,是铅、镉胁迫下促进麻疯树生长的备选菌株,这对于提高麻疯树对铅、镉污染土壤修复效率具有重要的意义。     

Physicochemical properties of cold pressed sunflower,peanut, rapeseed,mustard and olive oils grown in the Eastern Mediterranean region

Fatty acid composition and stability of vegetable oils have taken more attention as an essential source of biologically active compounds in a good balanced diet. The purpose of the study was to determine peroxide value, free fatty acids, unsaponifiable matter, total carotenoid content, iodine value and fatty acid composition of sunflower, rapeseed, mustard, peanut and olive oils. Rapeseed and peanut oils had the highest peroxide values, while sunflower oil had the lowest peroxide values. The free fatty acid value of the tested oils varied between 0.43 and 1.36% oleic. The peanut oil had the highest free acid value and the mustard oil had the lowest one. Total carotenoid contents of mustard and rape seed oil were higher than those of the other oils tested. Palmitic acid (C16:0), oleic acid (C18:1) and stearic acid (C18:0) were the common main fatty acid components of the vegetable oils tested. Followed by linoleic acid, the amount of oleic acid was the highest among other fatty acid components. Mustard oil had the highest erucic acid (C22:1) with the amount of 11.38%, indicating that it cannot be used for human consumption. Among the oils investigated, sunflower and mustard oils were more stable than rapeseed, peanut and olive oils.     

Redirection of metabolic flux for high levels of omega‐7 monounsaturated fatty acid accumulation in camelina seeds

Seed oils enriched in omega‐7 monounsaturated fatty acids, including palmitoleic acid (16:1?9) and cis‐vaccenic acid (18:1?11), have nutraceutical and industrial value for polyethylene production and biofuels. Existing oilseed crops accumulate only small amounts (<2%) of these novel fatty acids in their seed oils. We demonstrate a strategy for enhanced production of omega‐7 monounsaturated fatty acids in camelina (Camelina sativa) and soybean (Glycine max) that is dependent on redirection of metabolic flux from the typical ?9 desaturation of stearoyl (18:0)‐acyl carrier protein (ACP) to ?9 desaturation of palmitoyl (16:0)‐acyl carrier protein (ACP) and coenzyme A (CoA). This was achieved by seed‐specific co‐expression of a mutant ?9‐acyl‐ACP and an acyl‐CoA desaturase with high specificity for 16:0‐ACP and CoA substrates, respectively. This strategy was most effective in camelina where seed oils with ~17% omega‐7 monounsaturated fatty acids were obtained. Further increases in omega‐7 fatty acid accumulation to 60–65% of the total fatty acids in camelina seeds were achieved by inclusion of seed‐specific suppression of 3‐keto‐acyl‐ACP synthase II and the FatB 16:0‐ACP thioesterase genes to increase substrate pool sizes of 16:0‐ACP for the ?9‐acyl‐ACP desaturase and by blocking C18 fatty acid elongation. Seeds from these lines also had total saturated fatty acids reduced to ~5% of the seed oil versus ~12% in seeds of nontransformed plants. Consistent with accumulation of triacylglycerol species with shorter fatty acid chain lengths and increased monounsaturation, seed oils from engineered lines had marked shifts in thermotropic properties that may be of value for biofuel applications.     

Bioenergetic considerations in the improvement of oil content and quality in oil-seed crops

Summary Production values (PVs), defined as the weight of the end product/weight of the substrate required for carbon skeletons and energy production, were calculated for plant fatty acids. The PVs varied from 0.361 to 0.300 with linolenic acid having the lowest value. In general, the PVs of unsaturated fatty acids were lower than those of saturated fatty acids of similar chain lengths. Using this basic information, PVs of (A) oils from different oilseed crops, based on their standard fatty acid composition and (B) seed biomass with specified oil content and fatty acid composition were calculated. 1/PV gives the glucose required for the biosynthesis of 1 g end product and thus an estimate of the photosynthate requirement for the desired breeding goal can be estimated. Such calculations show that increasing oil percentage in seeds has a maximum energy cost when the increase in oil is associated with a decrease in the amount of carbohydrates where there is no change in protein concentration. Reduction of erucic acid content in the rapeseed oil did not alter its PV. It is inferred that there are no serious bioenergetic constraints in altering the fatty acid composition.

High-value oils from plants

The seed oils of domesticated oilseed crops are major agricultural commodities that are used primarily for nutritional applications, but in recent years there has been increasing use of these oils for production of biofuels and chemical feedstocks. This is being driven in part by the rapidly rising costs of petroleum, increased concern about the environmental impact of using fossil oil, and the need to develop renewable domestic sources of fuel and industrial raw materials. There is also a need to develop sustainable sources of nutritionally important fatty acids such as those that are typically derived from fish oil. Plant oils can provide renewable sources of high-value fatty acids for both the chemical and health-related industries. The value and application of an oil are determined largely by its fatty acid composition, and while most vegetable oils contain just five basic fatty acid structures, there is a rich diversity of fatty acids present in nature, many of which have potential usage in industry. In this review, we describe several areas where plant oils can have a significant impact on the emerging bioeconomy and the types of fatty acids that are required in these various applications. We also outline the current understanding of the underlying biochemical and molecular mechanisms of seed oil production, and the challenges and potential in translating this knowledge into the rational design and engineering of crop plants to produce high-value oils in plant seeds.     

Reduction in plasma cholesterol and increase in biliary cholesterol by a diet rich in n-3 fatty acids in the rat

Cholesterol and lipoprotein metabolism were investigated in a group of rats fed a fish oil-supplemented diet, a rich source of n-3 fatty acids. For comparison purposes, other groups of rats were fed either safflower oil (n-6 fatty acids) or coconut oil (saturated fatty acids). Diets were isocaloric and contained identical amounts of cholesterol. Rats fed fish oils for 2 weeks showed a 35% lower plasma cholesterol level than rats fed safflower oil, who in turn showed a 14% lower plasma cholesterol level than those fed coconut oil. The fall in plasma cholesterol level with fish oils was associated with significant falls in low density and high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, but with no significant change in the ratio of low density to high density lipoprotein cholesterol. The fatty acid compositions of plasma, hepatic, and biliary lipids showed relative enrichment with n-3 fatty acids, reflecting the composition of the diet. The fish oil diet increased the basal secretion rate of cholesterol into bile, but the bile acid secretion rate remained unchanged. It is suggested that n-3 fatty acids reduce the plasma cholesterol level in rats by increasing the transfer of cholesterol into bile.     

Metabolic engineering of fatty acid biosynthetic pathway in sesame (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Sesamum indicum</Emphasis> L.): assembling tools to develop nutritionally desirable sesame seed oil

Vegetable oils are an essential component of human diet, in terms of their health beneficial roles. Despite their importance, the fatty acid profile of most commonly used edible oil seed crop plants are imbalanced; this skewed ratio of fatty acids in the diet has been shown to be a major reason for the occurrence of cardiovascular and autoimmune diseases. Until recently, it was not possible to exert significant control over the fatty acid composition of vegetable oils derived from different plants. However, the advent of metabolic engineering, knowledge of the genetic networks and regulatory hierarchies in plants have offered novel opportunities to tailor-made the composition of vegetable oils for their optimization in regard to food functionality and dietary requirements. Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is one of the ancient oilseed crop in Indian subcontinent but its seed oil is devoid of balanced proportion of ω-6:ω-3 fatty acids. A recent study by our group has shed new lights on metabolic engineering strategies for the purpose of nutritional improvement of sesame seed oil to divert the carbon flux from the production of linoleic acid (C18:2) to α-linolenic acid (C18:3). Apart from that, this review evaluates current understanding of regulation of fatty acid biosynthetic pathways in sesame and attempts to identify the major options of metabolic engineering to produce superior sesame seed oil.     

七种植物籽油中脂肪酸成分的比较分析(英文)

为寻求新的食用油资源,发展了一种快速可靠的气相色谱-质谱联用方法,用于植物籽油中脂肪酸成分的定性鉴定和含量测定。所建立的方法成功用于葡萄籽、南瓜籽和猕猴桃籽等七种植物籽油中的棕榈酸、十八烷酸、油酸、亚油酸和α-亚麻酸的定性定量分析。结果表明,刺葡萄籽油、普通葡萄籽油、国外葡萄籽油、南瓜籽油、枸杞籽油和西番莲籽油均具有相似的脂肪酸谱,尽管其中它们所含上述五种脂肪酸含量不同,由于均存在人体所必需的饱和与不饱和脂肪酸,故可以用作替代食用油。猕猴桃籽油因为其存在高含量的α-亚麻酸成分,可能是更好的食用油和营养油资源。本文首次对枸杞籽油、西番莲籽油和猕猴桃籽油脂肪酸成分进行绝对含量分析,为新的食用油资源的开发提供了重要的依据。
