气象因子对宁夏枸杞果实生长及多糖含量的影响

选取宁夏枸杞(Lycium barbarum)主产区银川、白银和德令哈三地5年生宁杞1号为实验材料,探讨各地枸杞果实(横径、纵径和百粒重)生长及多糖含量与主要气象因子之间的关系,并建立回归模型。结果表明:三地果实生长类型均属双"S"型,即包括第1次快速生长期、缓慢生长期和第2次快速生长期;各产区宁夏枸杞的果实在不同生长期的发育时间和整个生长期的时间均存在差异。三产地枸杞果实的发育过程中,多糖含量始终呈现银川白银德令哈的趋势。多糖含量随枸杞果实发育成熟度的增加而升高,表现为缓慢升高和快速升高2个阶段。平均气温和平均昼夜温差是影响枸杞果实生长发育的主导气象因子。枸杞果实的整个发育过程中,银川地区枸杞果实的横、纵径和百粒重的增长首先随平均气温的升高而增加,分别达到23.71°C、23.93°C和23.55°C时最大,之后随着温度的增加而减小;白银地区枸杞果实横、纵径和百粒重一直随平均气温的增加而增加,到温度分别为22.99°C、22.16°C和21.35°C时接近最大;德令哈枸杞果实横、纵径和百粒重一直随平均气温的增加而增加,直到平均温度分别为19.55°C、21.01°C和20.64°C时接近最大。     

不同果色枸杞果实糖积累特征及其与蔗糖代谢酶活性的关系

以‘宁杞1号’（红色）、‘宁夏黄果’（黄色）和‘黑果’（黑色）3份不同果色枸杞为试材,测定枸杞果实发育过程中糖含量与蔗糖代谢酶活性的变化,并分析糖含量与蔗糖代谢酶活性的相关性,以探讨不同果色枸杞糖积累差异的生理基础,为进一步阐明枸杞品质形成及调控机理提供理论依据。结果显示：（1）气相色谱（GC）法检测结果为 ‘宁杞1号’果实含8种糖,‘宁夏黄果’含7种糖,‘黑果’仅检测到4种糖;且成熟期枸杞果实均以果糖、葡萄糖和蔗糖为主。（2）在枸杞果实发育过程中,各材料果实的果糖和葡萄糖含量呈现逐渐升高趋势,果实发育的后期升高幅度高于初期;而各材料蔗糖和赤藓糖含量却呈现出不同的变化趋势,不同发育时期材料间差异各异。（3）不同果色枸杞蔗糖代谢酶活性在枸杞果实发育过程中差异较大,其中酸性转化酶（AI）在果实发育的初期活性较低,材料间差别小,但在果实发育的后期活性高,材料间差异较大;从枸杞果实发育色变期到成熟期,供试材料AI和蔗糖合成酶（SS）活性高于中性转化酶（NI）和磷酸蔗糖合成酶（SPS）;在整个果实发育过程中‘黑果’保持着较低果糖含量和蔗糖代谢酶活性。（4）3种果色枸杞果糖含量均与AI活性达到显著相关关系,红色与黑色枸杞己糖（果糖和葡萄糖）含量与NI达到显著相关关系。研究表明,不同果色枸杞果实中的糖种类与含量、蔗糖代谢酶活性差异较大,AI活性升高有利于枸杞果糖的积累,转化酶在枸杞果实己糖积累过程中发挥着重要的作用。     

干旱胁迫对宁夏枸杞生长及果实糖分积累的影响

文章研究不同干旱胁迫下宁夏枸杞生长及果实糖分积累的变化规律,为宁夏枸杞在干旱地区高产栽培提供参考依据。采用盆栽控水试验,设置正常灌水、轻度干旱、中度干旱和重度干旱处理,研究了干旱胁迫对宁夏枸杞植株生长、生物量分配以及果实糖分积累的影响。结果表明：干旱抑制宁夏枸杞新稍、果实、株高和地径的生长：随着干旱程度加剧,根和茎中干物质分配率逐渐升高,而枝条、叶和果实中干物质分配率大幅降低;轻度干旱有利于果实发育过程中果糖的积累,中度和重度干旱胁迫则不利于成熟期果糖和蔗糖积累;干旱胁迫明显降低成熟期转化酶、蔗糖磷酸合成酶（SPS）和蔗糖合成酶（SS）的活性;果实发育过程中果糖的含量与SPS和转化酶活性存在极显著相关。可见,在果实发育期,土壤含水量为田间持水量55％以上,能促进宁夏枸杞果实中糖分积累,有效提高果实品质。     

宁夏枸杞果皮蜡质微形态及蜡质组分研究北大核心CSCD

果实制干是宁夏枸杞炮制的主要过程,宁夏枸杞不同品种在制干特性方面存在一定的差异。该研究以宁夏枸杞栽培中制干差异较大的品种‘宁杞1号’(易制干)和‘宁杞5号’(不易制干)果实为材料,采用扫描电镜技术和GC-MS技术对2个宁夏枸杞品种不同发育时期(青果期、色变期、成熟期)的果实果皮结构以及果皮蜡质微形态、含量和组分进行了观测,从果皮蜡质微形态及组分的积累变化初步揭示枸杞果皮蜡质的积累规律,以明确不同枸杞品种果皮蜡质组分差异,为不同品种适宜促干剂的筛选以及促干剂的合理使用提供理论依据。结果表明:(1)‘宁杞1号’和‘宁杞5号’枸杞表皮细胞外侧细胞壁均呈现脊状突起的结构,在果实青果期脊状突起不连续,脊和脊之间排列紧密;随着发育时期的延后,脊状突起的连续性逐渐增强,且脊与脊之间的间距逐渐变宽,蜡质呈膜状覆盖于凸起的脊和两脊之间的沟内。(2)‘宁杞1号’和‘宁杞5号’两个枸杞品种在果实发育过程中,果皮单位面积蜡质含量均呈先下降后上升的趋势,在成熟期单位面积蜡质含量最高,且‘宁杞1号’3个发育时期果皮单位面积蜡质含量均高于同期‘宁杞5号’,呈现出与扫描电镜观察到的蜡质分布基本一致的变化趋势。(3)2个品种3个时期的果实表皮蜡质组分均由烷烃类、酮类、醇类、酸类、醛类、酯类和碘代烷烃类组成,两品种青果期和色变期果皮蜡质组分相同,主要由烷烃类、醇类和碘代烷烃类组成,它们成熟期的果皮蜡质组分主要由烷烃类、醇类和酯类组成。(4)主成分分析结果显示,3个生育时期‘宁杞5号’果皮蜡质组分多为烷烃类物质,较‘宁杞1号’更利于阻挡果实水分的散失。研究发现,影响枸杞果实制干的原因在于枸杞果皮蜡质含量、结构和蜡质组分,烷烃类组分能够有效阻止果实体内水分的散失,‘宁杞5号’果皮蜡质中烷烃组分含量更高,果皮保水性更强,致果实不易制干。

橄榄果实发育成熟过程中糖积累与相关酶活性的关系

以可溶性总糖含量差异明显的2个橄榄品种为试验材料,测定果实发育成熟过程中蔗糖、葡萄糖、果糖、可溶性总糖含量及蔗糖代谢相关酶活性的动态变化,并对果实糖积累与酶活性进行相关性分析,以明确不同橄榄品种果实糖积累差异的生理基础,为进一步在代谢与分子水平探讨橄榄果实糖积累机制提供依据。结果表明:(1)蔗糖快速积累期是橄榄品种间果实蔗糖积累差异的关键时期,并影响成熟时果实可溶性总糖含量的高低,其中‘马坑22’蔗糖快速积累期较长,增长幅度较大,成熟时可溶性糖含量高;成熟时‘马坑22’、‘檀头23’果实内己糖与蔗糖比分别为0.668、0.904。(2)在蔗糖快速积累期内,‘马坑22’酸性转化酶(AI)活性低于‘檀头23’,为其蔗糖积累创造条件,而中性转化酶活性高于后者则有利于其增加果实库强;两品种蔗糖磷酸合成酶(SPS)活性变化差异不大,说明SPS不是蔗糖积累的关键酶;‘马坑22’蔗糖合成酶(SuSy)合成方向活性在花后144~186d增幅显著高于‘檀头23’,说明SuSy为果实蔗糖积累的关键酶。(3)‘马坑22’蔗糖快速积累主要依靠SuSy合成方向活性变化促进蔗糖合成,‘檀头23’蔗糖快速积累主要依靠SuSy分解方向活性变化促进蔗糖直接进入果实。     

Protoplast hexose carrier activity is a determinate of genotypic difference in hexose storage in tomato fruit

Post-phloem sugar transport in developing tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Flora-Dade) fruit follows an apoplastic route during the rapid phase of sugar accumulation. The pathway is characterized by sugar retrieval by the storage parenchyma cells from the fruit apoplast. Two tomato genotypes differing in fruit hexose content were compared in terms of the transport and transfer processes controlling fruit sugar levels. The genotypic difference in fruit sugar content was independent of photoassimilate export from source leaves. Discs of pericarp tissue were cultured in a medium based on analyses of the fruit apoplastic sap. The cultured discs maintained a composition, a relative growth rate and a respiration rate similar to those of the pericarp tissue of intact fruit. Estimates of hexose fluxes into metabolic and storage pools suggested that membrane transport regulated the genotypic difference in hexose accumulation. Short-term [¹⁴C]hexose uptake experiments demonstrated a genotypic difference in V_max for glucose, fructose and 3-O-methyl-glucose, and this difference was abolished in the presence of the inhibitor p-chloromercuribenzenesulphonic acid (PCMBS). The results support the hypothesis that the activity of energized hexose carriers on the plasma membranes of storage parenchyma cells is a significant determinate of the genotypic difference in hexose accumulation.     

Effect of carbon source and sucrose concentration on growth and hexose accumulation of grape berries cultured in vitro

Using in vitro culture of isolated small berries of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Sultana, it was possible to study the effect of different carbon sources and sucrose concentration on fruit growth, hexose accumulation and soluble invertase activity during the first stage of berry development by eliminating the source tissue. Berries cultured in vitro lack stage III of berry development which is characterised by massive accumulation of water and sugars, and thereby berries reached only 30% of the weight of those grown in the plant. Sucrose and glucose were both good carbon sources for berry growth, while fructose was not as good. Berry growth, hexose accumulation and invertase activity increased as sucrose concentration increased up to 15% in the medium. Furthermore, the onset of hexose accumulation in cultured berries depended on the concentration of sucrose in the medium, starting earlier at higher concentrations. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Effects of the Lycopersicon chmielewskii sucrose accumulator gene (sucr) on fruit yield and quality parameters following introgression into tomato

A gene controlling fruit sucrose accumulation, sucr, was introgressed from the wild tomato species Lycopersicon chmielewskii into the genetic background of a hexose-accumulating cultivated tomato, L. esculentum. During introgression, the size of the L. chmielewskii chromosomal segment containing sucr was reduced by selection for recombination between RFLP markers for the sucr gene and flanking loci. The effects of sucr on soluble solids content, fruit size, yield and other fruit parameters were studied in the genetic background of the processing tomato cultivar Huntl00. In a segregating BC₅F₂ generation, the smallest introgression containing sucr-associated markers was necessary and sufficient to confer high-level sucrose accumulation, the effects of which were completely recessive. Fruit of sucr/sucr genotypes were smaller than those of +/sucr or +/+ genotypes at all stages of development. The timing of sugar accumulation and total sugar concentration were unaffected by sugar composition. No differences in total fruit biomass (fresh weight of red and green fruit) at harvest were observed between the genotypes, and sucrose accumulators produced greater numbers of fruit than hexose accumulators in one family. However, the proportion of ripe fruit at harvest, and hence yield of ripe fruit, as well as average ripe fruit weight and seed set were reduced in sucr/sucr genotypes. Sucrose accumulation was also associated with increased soluble solids content, consistency, serum viscosity, predicted paste yield and acidity, and decreased color rating. In the first backcross to L. chmielewskii, hexose accumulators (+/sucr) had larger fruit than sucrose accumulators (sucr/sucr), while no difference in soluble solids was detected.     

遮光灵武长枣果实糖积累和代谢相关酶活性特征

于灵武长枣盛花期对果实进行遮光处理,以自然照光为对照,通过测定果实生长指标、叶绿素含量、蔗糖代谢相关酶活性及其蔗糖代谢糖分含量等,研究果实光合作用在果实糖积累中的作用及对果实多糖和总糖含量积累的影响。结果表明:(1)遮光处理后,果实单粒重、单粒体积以及果实中叶绿素含量均降低。(2)遮光处理不同程度增加了果实中转化酶、蔗糖磷酸合成酶和蔗糖合成酶分解方向酶的活性,而降低了其蔗糖合成酶合成方向酶的活性。(3)遮光处理主要影响果实着色期和成熟期的糖含量,对果实发育初期糖含量影响较小;果实多糖的形成与果实所受光照状况具有一定的关系,而果实中总糖的积累与外界光照具有密切关系。可见,果实遮光处理影响了果实发育过程中蔗糖代谢相关酶的活性,从而影响果实糖分的代谢和积累。     

Heterologous expression of the apple hexose transporter MdHT2.2 altered sugar concentration with increasing cell wall invertase activity in tomato fruit

Sugar transporters are necessary to transfer hexose from cell wall spaces into parenchyma cells to boost hexose accumulation to high concentrations in fruit. Here, we have identified an apple hexose transporter (HTs), MdHT2.2, located in the plasma membrane, which is highly expressed in mature fruit. In a yeast system, the MdHT2.2 protein exhibited high ¹⁴C‐fructose and ¹⁴C‐glucose transport activity. In transgenic tomato heterologously expressing MdHT2.2, the levels of both fructose and glucose increased significantly in mature fruit, with sugar being unloaded via the apoplastic pathway, but the level of sucrose decreased significantly. Analysis of enzyme activity and the expression of genes related to sugar metabolism and transport revealed greatly up‐regulated expression of SlLIN5, a key gene encoding cell wall invertase (CWINV), as well as increased CWINV activity in tomatoes transformed with MdHT2.2. Moreover, the levels of fructose, glucose and sucrose recovered nearly to those of the wild type in the sllin5‐edited mutant of the MdHT2.2‐expressing lines. However, the overexpression of MdHT2.2 decreased hexose levels and increased sucrose levels in mature leaves and young fruit, suggesting that the response pathway for the apoplastic hexose signal differs among tomato tissues. The present study identifies a new HTs in apple that is able to take up fructose and glucose into cells and confirms that the apoplastic hexose levels regulated by HT controls CWINV activity to alter carbohydrate partitioning and sugar content.     

The cellular pathway of postphloem sugar transport in developing tomato fruit

The cellular pathway of postphloem sugar transport was elucidated in the outer pericarp of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill cv. Floradade) fruit at 13–14 and 23–25 days after anthesis (DAA). These developmental stages are characterized by phloem-imported sugars being accumulated as starch and hexose, respectively. The symplasmic tracer, 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein, loaded into the storage parenchyma cells of pericarp discs, moved readily in the younger fruit but was immobile in fruit at 23–25 DAA. Symplasmic mobility of [¹⁴C]glucose was found to be identical to 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein. For the older fruit, the pericarp apoplasm was shown to be freely permeable to the apoplasmic tracer, trisodium 3-hydroxy-5,8,10-pyrenetrisulfonate. Indeed, the transport capacity of the pericarp apoplasm was such that the steady-state rate of in-vitro glucose uptake by pericarp discs accounted fully for the estimated rate of in-vivo glucose accumulation. For fruit at 23–25 DAA, the inhibitory effects of the sulfhydryl group modifier, p-chloromer-curibenzenesulfonic acid (PCMBS), on [¹⁴C]glucose and [¹⁴C]fructose uptake by the pericarp discs depended on the osmolality of the external solution. The inhibition was most pronounced for pericarp discs enriched in storage parenchyma. Consistent with the PCMBS study, strong fluorescent signals were exhibited by the storage parenchyma cells of pericarp discs exposed to the membrane-impermeable thiol-binding fluorochrome, mono-bromotrimethylammoniobimane. The fluorescent weak acid, sulphorhodamine G, was accumulated preferentially by the storage parenchyma cells. Accumulation of sulphorhodamine G was halted by the ATPase inhibitor erythrosin B, suggesting the presence of a plasma-membrane-bound H⁺-ATPase. A linkage between the putative H⁺-ATPase activity and hexose transport was demonstrated by an erythrosin-B inhibition of [¹⁴C]glucose and [¹⁴C]fructose uptake. In contrast, comparable evidence for an energy-coupled hexose porter could not be found in the pericarp of younger fruit at 13–14 DAA. Overall, the data are interpreted to indicate that: (i) The postphloem cellular pathway in the outer fruit pericarp shifts from the symplasm during starch accumulation (13–14 DAA) to the apoplasm for rapid hexose accumulation (23–25 DAA). (ii) An energy-coupled plasma-membrane hexose carrier is expressed specifically in storage parenchyma cells at the latter stage of fruit development.
