外源一氧化氮供体对渗透胁迫下小麦种子萌发和水解酶活性的影响

采用含水量测定和种子吸胀实验,发现一氧化氮(nitric oxide,NO)供体硝普钠(sodium nitroprusside,SNP)促进小麦种子在渗透胁迫下萌发的效应是通过提高种子的吸胀能力实现的;SNP还能明显诱导胁迫下种子淀粉酶同工酶Ⅰ活性的上升,加速淀粉胚乳的液化或溶解,而对酯酶影响不大.此外,在无胁迫条件下的小麦种子萌发早期(12 h),SNP处理可以显著诱导葡萄糖、果糖和蔗糖含量的上升;采用外源糖和SNP,结合NO清除剂处理小麦种子,观察到葡萄糖、果糖和蔗糖都参与萌发早期NO信号对小麦种子淀粉酶同工酶Ⅰ的激活.     

外源GA3、ABA和Ca(NO3)2缓解盐对小麦种子萌发的抑制作用

盐胁迫下,DK961(耐盐)和LM15(盐敏感)小麦种子的发芽率(Gr)、发芽指数(Gi)和活力指数(Vi)均显著下降,LM15下降的幅度大于DK961.外源100 mg/L GA3、1×10-7 mol/L ABA和0.1% Ca(NO3)2处理均能缓解盐对小麦种子萌发的抑制作用,对盐胁迫下LM15种子萌发的缓解作用显著好于DK961,并且不同程度地缓解盐处理引起的种子内源GA 1+3含量和α淀粉酶的活性下降,从而降低盐胁迫对种子萌发的抑制作用.表明盐抑制小麦种子萌发的主要原因是盐胁迫导致种子内源GA 1+3含量和α淀粉酶的活性下降.     

SA浸种对盐胁迫下小麦种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响

以小麦盐敏感品种鲁麦15为材料,研究了外源水杨酸(salicylic acid,SA)浸种对100 mmol/L NaCl胁迫下小麦种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响。研究结果表明:盐胁迫下,无论经SA浸种还是未经SA浸种,小麦幼苗的生长均受到明显抑制,干、鲜重显著下降;0.1 mmol/L、0.2 mmol/L和0.3 mmol/L SA溶液浸种均能显著缓解NaCl胁迫对小麦幼苗生长的抑制,其中以0.2 mmol/L SA溶液浸种预处理效果最好。实验中,0.2 mmol/L SA浸种可显著提高盐胁迫下小麦种子β-淀粉酶的活性和吸胀速率。此外,与未经SA浸种的盐胁迫小麦幼苗相比,0.2 mmol/L SA浸种的盐胁迫小麦幼苗整株的干、鲜重显著增加,幼苗体内Na~+含量降低,K~+含量和K~+/Na~+比值显著提高;同时,小麦幼苗叶片中超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase,SOD)、过氧化氢酶(catalase,CAT)、过氧化物酶(peroxidase,POD)活性升高,而丙二醛(MDA)含量则显著降低。由此可以得出,SA浸种能有效提高盐胁迫下小麦幼苗体内K~+/Na~+比值,提高SOD、CAT和POD的活性,减轻膜脂过氧化程度,以缓解盐胁迫对小麦幼苗生长的抑制作用,从而提高耐盐性。

Effects of nitric oxide on the germination of cucumber seeds and antioxidant enzymes under salinity stress

Effects of exogenous nitric oxide (NO) on the germination and antioxidant enzyme during cucumber seed germination were investigated under salt stress. Seeds of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Jinyou 1) were treated with distilled water or NaCl in the presence or absence of NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) during germination. Excess 50 mM NaCl reduced significantly the seed germination rate in a short term and speed of germination. When salt concentration increased, germination of cucumber seed was reduced and the time needed to complete germination lengthened. Addition of exogenous SNP in salt solution attenuated the salt stress effects in a dose-dependent manner, as indicated by accelerating the seed germination, as well as weight increase of budding seeds, and 50 μM SNP was optimal concentration. At 150 mM NaCl, the 50 μM exogenous SNP significantly increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1), catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6) and protein content, while decreased the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA). There were no obvious effects of exogenous NO on peroxidase (POD, EC 1.11.1.6) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX, EC 1.11.1.6) activities under salt stress. Exogenous NO also increased the SOD and CAT isozyme expression under salt stress, which was in accordance with the improved antioxidant activities in the germinating seeds. The NO-induced salt stress resistance was associated with activated enzymes, and enhanced protein content, thus decreasing MDA content. It is concluded that exogenous NO treatment on cucumber seeds may be a good option to improve seed germination under saline conditions.     

一氧化氮调节盐胁迫下小麦幼苗根部质膜H^＋-ATPase和焦磷酸酶活性提高耐盐性

采用外源一氧化氮(NO)供体硝普钠(SNP)研究了NO对盐胁迫下小麦(Triticum aestivum L.)幼苗耐盐性的影响。结果表明,0.1 mmol/L SNP处理显著缓解了150 mmol/L NaCl 胁迫对小麦幼苗生长的抑制效应,包括水分丧失以及叶绿素降解,从而提高了小麦幼苗的耐盐性。进一步结合1 mg/mL血红蛋白处理则显著逆转了SNP诱导的上述效应;利用亚硝酸钠和铁氰化钾作为对照也证实了NO对小麦幼苗耐盐性的专一性调节作用,并可能与NO对小麦幼苗根部质膜 H -ATPase和焦磷酸酶活性诱导有关。此外,尽管NO显著提高了盐胁迫下小麦幼苗根部细胞质膜H -ATPase和焦磷酸酶的ATP水解活性,但是对跨膜H 转运则没有明显影响。应用外源CaSO4 和 EGTA 处理也证实,Ca2 可能在NO诱导的质膜 H -ATPase和焦磷酸酶活性的提高过程中起信号作用。另外,分析盐胁迫下小麦幼苗根部 Na 和K 含量的变化也发现,NO对Na 含量没有明显影响,但是却显著提高了K 水平和K /Na 比,这可能也是NO提高小麦幼苗耐盐性的原因之一。

Induction of chilling tolerance in wheat during germination by pre-soaking seed with nitric oxide and gibberellin

Chilling depresses seed germination and seedling establishment, and is one major constraint to grain yield formation in late sown winter wheat. Seeds of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were separately pre-soaked with sodium nitroprusside (SNP, as nitric oxide donor) and Gibberellic acid (GA₃) before germination and then germinated under low temperature. SNP and GA₃ pre-treatment increased seed germination rate, germination index, weights and lengths of coleoptile and radicle, while they decreased mean germination time and weight of seeds germinating under low temperature. Exogenous NO and GA₃ increased seed respiration rate and promoted starch degradation along with increased amylase activities. In addition, efficient antioxidant systems were activated by NO, and which effectively reduced concentrations of malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). Seedling growth was also enhanced by exogenous NO and GA₃ as a result of improved seed germination and maintenance of better reactive oxygen species homeostasis in seedling growing under chilling temperatures. It is indicated that exogenous NO was more effective than GA₃ in alleviating chilling stress during seed germination and seedling establishment in wheat.

Protective roles of nitric oxide on germination and antioxidant metabolism in wheat seeds under copper stress

Nitric oxide (NO) is a multifunctional gaseous signal in plant. In the present study, we found that pretreatment with NO could significantly improve wheat seeds germination and alleviate oxidative stress against copper toxicity. With the enhancement of copper stress, the germination percentage of wheat seeds decreased gradually. Pretreatment during wheat seed imbibition with sodium nitroprusside (SNP), an NO donor, could greatly reverse the inhibitory effect of the following copper stress to wheat seeds germination. SNP-pretreated seeds also tended to retain higher amylase activities than that of the control without SNP pretreatment. On the other hand, there was no apparent difference in the activities of esterase in wheat seeds pretreated with or without SNP. Further investigations showed that pretreatment with NO donor dramatically stimulated the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1) and catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6), decreased the activities of lipoxygenases, sustained a lower level of malondialdehyde, and interfered with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) excessive accumulation compared with the control, thereby enhancing the antioxidative capacity in wheat seeds under copper stress. In addition, the seed copper contents were not significant different between those pretreated with SNP and the controls, inferring that protective roles of NO was not responsible for preventing Cu uptake.

一氧化氮对渗透胁迫下小麦种子萌发及其活性氧代谢的影响

一氧化氮供体硝普钠(Sodium nitroprusside,SNP)能明显地促进渗透胁迫下小麦(Triticum aestivum L.)种子萌发、胚根和胚芽伸长,提高萌发过程中淀粉酶和内肽酶的活力,加速贮藏物质的降解：胁迫解除后,仍能使种子维持较高的活力。此外,SNP还能显著诱导渗透胁迫下CAT、APX活力的上升和脯氨酸含量积累,抑制LOX活力,从而提高渗透胁迫下小麦种子萌发过程中抗氧化能力。进一步研究还发现,SNP诱导切胚半粒小麦种子萌发早期(6h)的淀粉酶活力上升可能与GA3无直接关系。     

Cytokinins contribute to realization of nitric oxide growth-stimulating and protective effects on wheat plants

We investigated effects of sodium nitroprusside (SNP), the donor of nitric oxide (NO), on the growth and hormonal system of wheat plants (Triticum aestivum L.) in normal conditions and after salt stress (2% NaCl). During germination of seeds treated with SNP (50–500 μM), we obtained the SNP concentration (200 μM) optimal for stimulation of seedling growth estimated by increase in seed germination capacity and seedlings' linear sizes and their fresh and dry biomass. A comparative analysis of SNP (200 μM) effects, after seed germination in the medium with SNP or pretreatment of 3-day-old seedlings, showed SNP ability to increase the wheat plant resistance to subsequent effects of sodium chloride salinity at both treatment methods. Protective SNP effects appeared in the reduction of stress inhibitory action on seedling growth rates and significant reduction in the level of lipid peroxidation and exosmosis of electrolytes. An important contribution to realization of the growth-stimulating and protective effects of NO is associated with its ability to influence the state of the hormonal system of wheat plants due to an increase in the concentration of hormones of a cytokinin nature under normal conditions and the prevention of a decrease in their level under stress.
