大苞鞘石斛原球茎玻璃化超低温保存技术的研究

本文研究建立了大苞鞘石斛(Dendrobium wardianum Warner)原球茎玻璃化法超低温保存的技术体系。结果发现,预处理和玻璃化溶液(plant vitrification solution 2,PVS2)装载脱水是影响大苞鞘石斛原球茎相对存活率的两个关键步骤,高渗与低温-高渗两种预处理方法测定的相对存活率具有显著性差异;玻璃化溶液的种类以及脱水时间对冻后存活率具有重要的影响。基于此,建立了大苞鞘石斛原球茎的超低温保存体系,即:以继代培养60 d的大苞鞘石斛原球茎为材料,1/2MS+0.8 mol/L蔗糖的培养基上4℃低温预处理6 d后,转至1/2 MS+2 mol/L甘油+0.4 mol/L蔗糖的装载液中室温下装载40 min,在0℃下装载PVS2脱水40 min,然后转入装有新鲜PVS2冷冻管中并迅速投入液氮。在液氮保存1 h后放在40℃水浴中快速解冻1 min,利用含1.2 mol/L蔗糖的1/2MS培养液洗涤3次,每次间隔10 min;待恢复培养30 d后统计存活率,可使大苞鞘石斛原球茎超低温保存后存活率达到20.0%。

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。

五种豆科药用植物种子超低温保存技术研究

以豆科药用植物降香檀、决明、含羞草、灰毛豆和猪屎豆的成熟种子为材料,探讨含水量对其发芽率的影响,以及超低温冷冻方式对种子超低温保存的影响。结果表明,降香檀、决明、猪屎豆和灰毛豆种子发芽率均随含水量的下降而从80%左右降至20%以下,而含羞草种子含水量低于10%时,其发芽率仍在75%以上。经超低温冷冻后,五种豆科药用植物种子发芽率较对照组均有显著差异;适宜的含水量下,种子经过超低温冷冻后其发芽率与对照组差异不显著,甚至高于对照组。三种冷冻方法中,玻璃化冷冻法更适合降香檀种子的超低温保存,缓慢冷冻法更适合猪屎豆种子的超低温保存,快速冷冻法适合于决明种子、灰毛豆种子和含羞草种子的超低温保存。由此可知,液氮超低温冷冻法保存降香檀等五种豆科药用植物种子是可行的。     

萝卜种子萌发的逆温耐性诱导研究

以萝卜种子为试材,研究不同温度预处理对萌发期萝卜种子逆温耐性的影响。结果表明:萝卜种子在低于15℃和高于35℃下萌发,种子活力显著下降,而通过适度的温度胁迫处理,可提高萝卜种子在高温（35℃）下的萌发活力。15℃和25℃分别是预处理的适宜低温和高温,6 h是低温（15℃）预处理的适宜时间。萝卜种子经高温（30℃）预处理12 h后,在随后的低温（10℃）下萌发,也提高其种子活力,说明萝卜种子对高温和低温胁迫具有交叉适应性。     

束花石斛的繁育生物学特性

为了探究束花石斛（Dendrobium chrysanthum）的繁育生物学特性,对其开花习性、花粉活力、柱头分泌特性、人工授粉结实率、自然结实种子育性和贮藏特性进行研究,结果表明：（1）束花石斛花芽萌动期为19 d,现蕾期为23 d,群体花期为28 d,单花寿命10~15 d;（2）开花1~3 d花粉活力保持在90%左右,开花至第9天时花粉活力仅为23.7%,初始3 d开花的花粉活力与其他时间取样的活力差异均达极显著水平（P<0.01）,花粉活力随开花时间延长呈由强到弱的趋势;（3）束花石斛的柱头腔从开花第2天开始有分泌物,第6 d时分泌物最多,柱头过氧化氢染色结果表明在开花5~6 d时柱头可授性最强,柱头可授性随开花时间延长呈由弱到强再到弱的趋势;（4）选取花朵开放4 d的花粉和柱头人工授粉,同株异花和同花授粉未见结实。野外结实果质量2.02~4.83 g,种子长0.628~0.845 mm,宽0.082~0.110 mm,长宽比为7.798,成胚率达97.35%,种子活力为90.80%,室温条件保存6个月的种子活力维持在73.20%。上述结果说明,束花石斛单花花期不长,开花初期花粉活力最高,柱头发育要滞后于花粉的发育;束花石斛不存在无融和生殖,人工同株自花授粉不育。但自然状况下能正常结实,种子发育良好,胚活力较高,干燥种子在自然条件下有一定的耐贮特性。本研究揭示了束花石斛的开花生物学特性和雌雄蕊异熟特点,其交配系统应为自交不亲和,为其野生种质资源的保育和人工精准授粉提供科学依据。

以新疆野苹果（Malus sieversii（Lebed.）M．Roem.）无菌试管苗为试材,对其离体茎尖玻璃化超低温保存的影响因素进行研究。结果表明,新疆野苹果茎尖在含有5％二甲基亚砜（DMSO）的0．4mol／L蔗糖培养基上预培养3d,60％玻璃化溶液（PVS2）中室温装载30min,PVS：0℃下处理40min,经液氮保存至少24h后,转入继代培养基上再培养,成活率和再生率分别为93．3％和86．7％。再生植株生长和分化正常;同时对再生植株进行SSR标记检测,未发现超低温保存前后的DNA谱带存在差异。     

Cryopreservation,early seedling development,and genetic stability of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Oncidium flexuosum</Emphasis> Sims

An efficient cryopreservation protocol was developed for mature seeds of Oncidium flexuosum Sims. Seed morphology, protocorm formation, and early seedling development were also assessed. The effects of phloroglucinol and Supercool X-1000^® as cryoprotectant additives in the vitrification solution were investigated. Dehydration using the plant vitrification solution 2 (PVS2) for 60 and 120 min prior to immersion in liquid nitrogen promoted the highest frequency of in vitro seed germination 6 weeks following culture on half-strength Murashige and Skoog (½ MS) medium. Mature seeds submitted to vitrification for 120 min in PVS2 and 1 % phloroglucinol at 0 °C enhanced germination by 68 %, whereas in PVS2 and 1 % Supercool X-1000^® germination was just moderately enhanced (26 %). In vitro-germinating seedlings developed healthy shoots and roots without the use of plant growth regulators. After 6 months of growth, there were no differences between in vitro- and ex vitro-grown seedlings for various phenotypic characteristics, including shoot length, number of leaves, number and length of roots, and fresh and dry weight. Seedlings were transferred to greenhouse conditions and successfully acclimatized, further developing into normal plants with over 90 % survival. Comparative analysis of seedlings from control and vitrified seeds using flow cytometry indicated that no change in ploidy levels occurred as a result of cryopreservation, therefore maintaining seedlings genetic stability. In this study, vitrification with PVS2 for 120 min with the addition of 1 % phloroglucinol offers a simple, safe, and feasible protocol for cryopreservation of O. flexuosum mature seeds.     

短命植物独行菜种子萌发过程对低温的耐受特性

以独行菜（Lepidium apetalum）为材料,研究了其种子在萌发过程中耐受低温的特性,并对耐受低温的机制作了初步的探讨。结果表明：1.萌发至I、II、III期的独行菜种子经过冷诱导处理后,对零下低温-5℃、-10℃胁迫具有较强的耐受性,这种耐受性随萌发发展相对有所降低。2.独行菜种子萌发过程中胚根生长速度明显受到低温抑制,但也仍然能够生长。3.适当时间的低温层积能使独行菜萌发势显著提高,对终萌发率影响不大;过长时间的低温层积会使独行菜种子萌发势和最终萌发率降低。4.独行菜种子在4℃条件下不能萌发,但4℃层积2d的种子经25℃处理6h以上后,可耐受4℃低温而萌发,且萌发率随25℃处理时间增加而升高。如果25℃处理时间少于5h则不能在4℃低温下萌发。经4℃层积10d、再经25℃萌发处理1h的独行菜种子就能在4℃低温下萌发。综合分析认为独行菜种子不能耐受4℃低温萌发,原因可能是在露白前存在一个关键的生理阶段,在4℃胁迫逆境中不能越过这个阶段,该阶段之前与之后的萌发过程都能耐受4℃低温,因此对低温胁迫有良好的耐受性。这为探索早春短命植物耐受低温萌发的机制提供了新的思路。     

茸毛赤瓟种子不同发育时期脱水耐性和发芽力的初步研究

茸毛赤瓟种子自花后30 d发育至55 d,发芽率、发芽指数和活力指数由0升至最大;含水量逐渐下降,但下降速率不等,发育后期存在显著的成熟脱水期。花后45 d果实干重接近最大,种子干重在45 d达到最大,种子和果实的发育基本同步。自然风干1d后,花后40~50 d的种子含水量下降2%~4%。花后40 d的种子发芽力显著提高,花后45~50 d的种子无明显变化,继续干燥,发芽率、发芽指数和活力指数均有不同程度的降低,而花后50 d的种子直到含水量低至4%后才明显下降;花后35 d和55 d的种子经过不同天数干燥后,发芽力均下降。不同发育时期茸毛赤瓟种子耐脱水力有差别,由强至弱依次为花后50、45、55、40、35 d。用半致死含水量可准确地反映不同发育时期茸毛赤瓟种子的脱水敏感性的强弱。     

Seed size and seed germination in the Mediterranean fire-prone shrub <Emphasis Type="Italic">Cistus </Emphasis><Emphasis Type="Italic">ladanifer</Emphasis>

The germination response of different sized seeds from individuals of a Mediterranean fire-prone shrub (Cistus ladanifer) was investigated in relation to pre-germination heating. A control (no heating), a low temperature during a short exposure time (50°C during 5 min), a high temperature during a short exposure time (100°C during 5 min) and a high temperature during a long exposure time (100°C during 15 min) were applied to seeds from different individual plants with different mean seed weight. These pre-germination treatments resemble natural germination scenarios for the studied species, absence of fire, low intensity pasture fire, typical Mediterranean shrub fire, and severe fire with high fuel load. Mean seed weight only showed a marginally significant positive correlation with the proportion of germinated seeds whatever the pre-germination treatment. These results suggest that seed dormancy is unrelated to seed size and that under the experimental conditions used in this study, the effect of seed size on seed germination is low. Nevertheless, larger seeds could be favoured in natural conditions, especially under the high competition scenario which arise after wildfires. Control seeds showed a negative correlation between seed size and germination velocity suggesting that lighter seeds could take advantage from early germination in recruitment events in the absence of wildfires. Nevertheless, even the lower pre-germination heating treatment turns this correlation in not significant, suggesting a strong selection pressure (unrelated to seed size) for early germination after fire events. In our study, different sized seeds of C. ladanifer seem to perform better under different germination scenarios suggesting that seed size variation could be maintained by the alternation of recruitments without wildfires and recruitments after wildfire events.     

外源激素与温度对花楸树种子萌发的影响

三种外源激素和萌发温度对花楸树种子萌发影响的研究结果表明,25℃（16h光／8h暗,10d）-5℃（暗110d）变温可极显著提高种子发芽率和种子发芽势,但极显著延迟发芽初始时间。200mg·L^-16-BA溶液中吸胀2d后经历25℃·5℃变温可使种子发芽初始时间最短（33d）,发芽率（62．25％）和发芽势（57．88％）最高。GA3或ABA与温度的结合处理对种子萌发的促进作用小于6-BA与温度的综合处理。     

温水浸种对蒙古黄芪种子萌发特性的影响

研究温水浸种破除蒙古黄芪（Astragalus membranaceus Bge.var.mongholicus（Bge.） Hsiao）种子休眠的适宜条件,采用恒温和变温2种浸种方式,测定蒙古黄芪种子在不同时间、不同温度梯度条件下的发芽率、发芽势和发芽指数。结果表明,温水浸种破除蒙古黄芪种子休眠的效果显著,变温浸种效果略优于恒温浸种。不同温度破除休眠效果排序依次为60℃> 70℃> 80℃,其中60℃变温浸种2 min和5 min的发芽率分别为对照的2.87倍和2.31倍。浸种时间、浸种温度均可显著影响蒙古黄芪种子萌发,与对照相比,随着浸种时间增加,发芽率总体呈现出先急速升高后逐渐降低的趋势;发芽指数与浸种温度极显著正相关;浸种温度与发芽势和发芽指数均显著正相关。本研究结果表明温水浸种可以提高种子发芽率,保持种子活力。     

假槟榔种子催芽技术和脱水耐性的研究

为提高假槟榔的人工种植技术,对其种子做了不同的化学催芽处理,以寻求种子的有效催芽方法,并对种子脱水耐性进行了探讨。结果表明:20%过氧化氢和98%浓硫酸浸泡5min,0.3%亚硝酸钠和0.2%硝酸钾溶液浸种24h后,发芽率显著升高,速度显著加快,尤以浓硫酸和硝酸钾处理效果为好;200～1000mg/L赤霉素和20～100mg/L激动素溶液浸泡24h也显著促进种子萌发,但催芽效果与溶液浓度有关。成熟种子轻度脱水,发芽率有所上升,但含水量下降至17%以下,发芽率急剧下降,当含水量下降10%以下,发芽力完全丧失。由此可见,种子很可能是中间型种子。     

Inactivation of Escherichia coli O157:H7 on radish seeds by sequential treatments with chlorine dioxide, drying, and dry heat without loss of seed viability

We developed and validated a treatment to inactivate Escherichia coli O157:H7 on radish seeds without decreasing seed viability. Treatments with aqueous ClO(2) followed by drying and dry-heat treatments were evaluated for efficacy to inactivate the pathogen. Conditions to dry radish seeds after treatment with water (control) or ClO(2) were established. When treated seeds with high water activity (a(w)) (>0.99) were stored at 45°C and 23% relative humidity (RH), the a(w) decreased to <0.30 within 24 h. Drying high-a(w) seeds before exposing them to dry-heat treatment (≥60°C) was essential to preserve seed viability. The germination rate of radish seeds which had been immersed in water for 5 min, dried at 45°C and 23% RH for 24 h, and heated at 70°C for 48 h or at 80°C for 24 h was not significantly decreased (P ≤ 0.05) compared to that of untreated radish seeds. Sequential treatments with ClO(2) (500 μg/ml, 5 min), drying (45°C, 23% RH, 24 h), and dry heating (70°C, 23% RH, 48 h) eliminated E. coli O157:H7 (5.9 log CFU/g) on radish seeds and, consequently, sprouts produced from them without decreasing the germination rate. These sequential treatments are recommended for application to radish seeds intended for sprout production.     

Endoreduplication in cucumber (Cucumis sativus) seeds during development, after processing and storage, and during germination

Flow cytometry was used to study endoreduplication in developing, stored and germinating seeds of cucumber ( Cucumis sativus ). Fruits growing in a commercial seed production field were collected every 7 days, starting 14 days after pollination (DAP) up to 63 DAP (commercial harvest time). Seeds were isolated and the proportion of nuclei with different DNA contents in the whole seeds and in the embryos was analysed. Germination capacity of fresh and dried seeds at 25°C was established. In addition, the same analyses were performed on the seeds after processing (fermentation, drying and cleaning), following 1 and 2 years of storage, and after imbibition for 3, 6 and 12 h. In the young developing seeds, endoreduplication up to 128C occurred but this decreased to 8C by maturity. The proportion of endosperm nuclei was the highest at 21 DAP (30%) and then decreased to below 14% at harvest and 8% after processing. In the mature processed seeds, the majority of embryo nuclei (about 80%) contained 2C DNA; however, about 2% of endoreduplicated (8C) nuclei were still present. Seeds did not show any germination capacity up to 21 DAP; then it gradually increased to reach 100% as early as 49 DAP, 2 weeks before commercial harvest time. The relationship between seed maturity, germination and cell cycle status is discussed. The mean C-value of the seed cells as well as the (4C + 8C + 16C)/2C ratio are recommended as markers of cucumber seed maturity and the advancement of germination/priming (the stage of germination sensu stricto ).
