水分胁迫下苹果幼苗超弱发光及一些生理特性的变化

以苹果属八棱海棠和平邑田茶当年实生幼苗为试材,研究了在用15％ PEG 6000溶液模拟干旱处理条件下幼苗的超弱发光(ultraweak luminescence,UWL)及ATP含量、呼吸与活性氧(O2^-)产生速率等一些生理特性的变化。结果表明,随水分胁迫时间的延长,幼苗的UWL、ATP含量、蛋白质含量均呈下降趋势,呼吸速率先升后降,而丙二醛(MDA)含量与O2^-的产生速率呈明显上升趋势。品种间各指标比较表明,八棱海棠比平邑田茶具有较强的抗水分胁迫能力,UWL反映幼苗品种抗旱性结果与用其它生理指标测定的结果一致。分析认为,幼苗UWL强度没有随胁迫下氧自由基的增加而增加,说明活性氧不是导致UWL的唯一原因。苹果幼苗UWL的变化是受环境及体内代谢等多种因素的影响,并且与其自身的生长与代谢活性更密切。     

干旱胁迫下景天植物能量水平与超微弱发光的关系

该试验以德景天幼苗为材料,设计PEG、PEG+H_2O_2、PEG+苯甲酸钠、蒸馏水(CK)4个处理,分析PEG模拟干旱胁迫及活性氧调控干旱胁迫下超微弱发光(ultraweak luminescence,UWL)和能量水平的变化及两者的关系,为揭示UWL的产生及其来源提供理论依据。结果表明:(1)在PEG模拟干旱胁迫过程中,CK和PEG处理德景天叶片的ATP含量、能荷和UWL强度均随着胁迫时间延长呈下降趋势,但PEG处理的上述指标的下降较CK更快、降幅更大。(2)进一步采用H_2O_2和苯甲酸钠调控活性氧的PEG干旱胁迫过程中,PEG+H_2O_2、PEG+苯甲酸钠处理的德景天叶片ATP含量、能荷和UWL强度的变化趋势与PEG处理基本一致,均随胁迫时间的延长呈下降趋势;但PEG+H_2O_2处理的上述指标均低于PEG处理,而PEG+苯甲酸钠处理的上述指标却高于PEG处理。(3)相关分析表明,在干旱胁迫及活性氧调控干旱胁迫下,德景天叶片UWL强度均与ATP含量和能荷呈显著正相关。研究发现,在干旱胁迫和活性氧调控干旱胁迫下,德景天叶片ATP含量和能荷较CK均明显下降,UWL强度也随之明显降低;UWL强度随着以ATP为代表的能量水平的下降而降低,说明植物中UWL的产生与其能量水平的高低显著相关。     

多裂骆驼蓬的生物碱对黄瓜种子萌发的影响

经多裂骆驼蓬中生物碱处理过的黄瓜种子吸水量、呼吸速率、α-淀粉酶活性、GA1_( 3)和ATP含量均下降,种子膜透性增大,丙二醛含量提高;子叶中异柠檬酸裂解酶和羟基丙酮酸还原酶活性以及超弱发光(UWL)值也受到明显抑制。其抑制或促进作用的程度均随着多裂骆驼蓬中生物碱浓度的提高而增强。     

草莓果实线粒体呼吸代谢与超微弱发光的关系

该试验以草莓(Fragaria ananassa Duch.)品种‘红颜’果实为试材,采用水杨基氧肟酸(SHAM)抑制线粒体交替呼吸途径,使细胞色素途径单独运行,并用电子传递与氧化磷酸化偶联促进剂[二磷酸腺苷(ADP)、琥珀酸钠(C_4H_4Na_2O_4)]和抑制剂[2,4-二硝基苯酚(DNP)、原钒酸钠溶液(NaVO_4)]对线粒体提取液进行处理,对比分析在促进和抑制呼吸代谢情况下,草莓果实线粒体呼吸代谢与超微弱发光(UWL)的变化及二者之间的关系。结果显示:(1)草莓果实线粒体经促进剂处理后,呼吸代谢关键酶琥珀酸脱氢酶(SDH)、细胞色素氧化酶(COX)、ATP合酶(H~+-ATPase)活性以及呼吸速率、三磷酸腺苷(ATP)含量均随着促进剂浓度的增加而增加,UWL强度亦增强,且各浓度下的呼吸代谢指标和UWL强度均高于对照;经抑制剂处理后,以上呼吸代谢各指标及UWL强度的变化与促进剂处理相反,且均低于对照。(2)各促进剂、抑制剂处理条件下,草莓果实线粒体呼吸代谢各指标均与其UWL强度呈正相关。研究表明,草莓果实线粒体UWL强度随着呼吸代谢的变化而变化;促进剂促进了呼吸代谢,导致UWL强度增加,而抑制剂却抑制了呼吸代谢,导致UWL强度减弱;线粒体是UWL产生的细胞器之一,线粒体呼吸代谢过程中激发了UWL。     

Ce^3+和La^3+对人工老化沙葱种子活力及生理特性的影响

以未老化和人工老化后的沙葱(Allium mongolicum Regel.)种子为材料,采用氯化铈(Ce3+)和氯化镧(La3+)浸种,测定种子萌发和生理指标,探讨Ce3+和La3+浸种对种子萌发、老化种子活力和生理特性的影响。结果显示:(1)在老化0~5 h时,Ce3+和La3+处理可显著促进沙葱种子萌发,提高种子活力;在老化5 h后,Ce3+和La3+处理对种子萌发无明显促进作用。(2)在老化0~15 h时,Ce3+和La3+处理的沙葱种子中抗氧化酶活性和抗坏血酸(AsA)含量提高,其超氧阴离子自由基(O2-·)产生速率、过氧化氢(H2O2)含量和丙二醛(MDA)含量显著降低;在老化15 h后,Ce3+和La3+处理的种子抗氧化酶活性提高、AsA含量降低,O2-·产生速率和MDA含量提高。(3)在老化5 h时,沙葱种子呼吸速率发生跃变达到最大,Ce3+和La3+处理显著降低了种子呼吸速率。(4)Ce3+和La3+处理在老化0~5 h时提高了沙葱种子超弱发光(UWL)强度,但在老化5 h后沙葱种子的UWL强度降低。研究认为,在沙葱种子人工老化初期,Ce3+和La3+浸种处理可以诱导增强种子抗氧化酶活性和提高AsA含量,有效清除因老化产生积累的过量活性氧(ROS),减轻过氧化伤害,提高种子活力;种子老化中后期,其内部ROS产生与清除系统发生紊乱,加剧了ROS对种子结构的损伤,Ce3+和La3+浸种处理的缓解效应丧失。     

盐胁迫下欧李叶片叶绿体结构及功能与超微弱发光激发的关系

为初步探索叶绿体及其功能与超微弱发光（Ultraweak luminescence,UWL）激发的关系,揭示UWL与植物生长生理的关系及植物中UWL产生的来源,本试验以欧李（Cerasus humilis）为材料,采用室内盆栽试验,设置不同浓度盐胁迫处理,研究盐胁迫下欧李叶片的叶绿体结构和功能（叶绿素代谢、光系统Ⅱ活性、光合性能和能量水平）及UWL的变化规律和相关性。结果表明：（1）盐胁迫降低了欧李叶片的UWL强度,且盐浓度越高,UWL强度下降程度越大;（2）盐胁迫破坏了欧李叶片叶绿体结构,并降低了其功能,具体表现为叶绿素合成主要前体物质（ALA、Mg-ProtoⅨ）含量显著降低,叶绿素降解酶叶绿素酶（Chlase）活性显著升高,导致叶绿素（Chla、Chlb、Car和Chla+b）含量显著降低;同时欧李叶片FV/Fm、FV/FO、PIABS、RC/CSm、φE0和ΨE0快速下降,光系统Ⅱ活性受到严重抑制;进一步Pn、Tr、Gs下降,Ci同时升高,光合性能显著减弱;ATP含量和EC的显著降低,导致能量水平整体下降;（3）欧李叶片UWL强度与其叶绿素代谢物质及叶绿素含量（ALA、Mg-ProtoⅨ、Chla、Chlb、Car和Chla+b）、光系统Ⅱ活性（FV/Fm、FV/FO、PIABS、RC/CSm、φE0、ΨE0）、光合性能（Pn、Tr、Gs）及能量水平（ATP、EC）等参数均呈显著或极显著性正相关关系。（4）盐浓度越高,胁迫时间越长,欧李叶片UWL强度与叶绿体功能各指标变化程度越大,且高浓度处理下的相关性整体高于低浓度处理。可见,在盐胁迫条件下,欧李叶片叶绿体结构被破坏,同时其功能受到损伤活力下降,从而导致UWL强度降低;UWL强度与叶绿体及其功能关系密切,叶绿体可能是UWL的细胞器之一;UWL强度可以用来反映欧李叶片受盐胁迫伤害的程度。     

干旱胁迫下景天植物光合作用与超微弱发光的关系

该试验以德景天幼苗为试材,设计PEG、PEG+H_2O_2、PEG+苯甲酸钠、蒸馏水(CK)4个处理,分析20%PEG模拟干旱胁迫、以及活性氧调控干旱胁迫下超微弱发光(UWL)和光合作用参数的变化特征及其两者的关系,为揭示UWL的产生及其来源提供理论依据。结果表明:(1)在PEG模拟干旱胁迫过程中,CK和PEG处理的德景天叶片的净光合速率(Pn)、蒸腾速率(Tr)、胞间二氧化碳浓度(Ci)、气孔导度(Gs)和叶绿素a(Chla)、叶绿素b(Chlb)、叶绿素总量(Chl)以及UWL强度均随处理时间呈下降趋势,但PEG处理的以上所有指标的下降较CK更快、降幅更大。(2)H_2O_2和苯甲酸钠调控PEG干旱胁迫过程中,PEG+H_2O_2、PEG+苯甲酸钠处理的Pn、Tr、Gs、Ci、Chla、Chlb、Chl以及UWL强度的变化趋势与PEG处理基本一致,均随处理时间呈下降趋势,但PEG+H_2O_2处理的上述光合指标和UWL强度均低于PEG处理,PEG+苯甲酸钠处理的光合指标和UWL强度却均高于PEG处理。说明苯甲酸钠处理具有缓解干旱胁迫并提高UWL强度的作用。(3)相关分析显示,干旱胁迫及活性氧调控干旱胁迫下UWL强度均与各光合指标呈显著正相关关系。研究发现,在干旱胁迫和活性氧调控干旱胁迫下德景天光合作用参数较CK均明显下降,UWL强度也随之明显降低;德景天叶片UWL强度随着光合作用效率的下降而降低,说明植物UWL的产生与其光合作用的强弱显著相关,植物UWL强度能够反映植物受到的逆境胁迫的程度。

Manipulation of cellular energy reveals the relationship between ultraweak luminescence and cellular energy during senescence of strawberry (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Fragaria</Emphasis> × <Emphasis Type="Italic">ananassa</Emphasis>) fruits

The goal of this study was to investigate the ultraweak luminescence (UWL) of strawberry fruits in relation to mitochondrial functions and energy production during strawberry senescence. Fully ripe strawberry fruits and mitochondria isolated from those fruits were treated with either adenosine triphosphate (ATP) or the respiratory chain uncoupler 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP). The activities of H⁺-ATPase and Ca²⁺-ATPase, the content of ATP, the free radical O₂^? as well as the UWL intensity were measured. Our results showed that activities of H⁺-ATPase and Ca²⁺-ATPase as well as the ATP content gradually decreased during fruit senescence in all three groups. Compared with the control, DNP treatment exacerbated, while ATP treatment reduced the decrease of H⁺-ATPase and Ca²⁺-ATPase activity, the energy charge and UWL intensity. UWL intensity was positively correlated with mitochondrial function and ATP content. Our results strongly suggest that mitochondria are a major source of UWL of strawberry fruits, and that the cellular energy ATP plays important roles in senescence of strawberry fruits, and in UWL formation. Our study provides convincing evidence of the interrelationship between cellular energy and UWL, which helps researchers to better understand the process of senescence in strawberry fruits.     

Effect of Adenine Nucleotides on the Respiration of Carrot Root Slices

Sodium pyruvate and dinitrophenol stimulated O(2) uptake of freshly cut phloem parenchyma from carrot roots by 63 and 120% at optimal concentrations, indicating that production of pyruvate by glycolysis regulates over-all respiratory rate. Adding 0.5 to 6.7 mm Na(3)ADP and Na(3)ATP to slices rapidly stimulates respiration rate by 20 to 85%. The effect is greater at the lower end of this concentration range and is not due to change in pH or active cation uptake. It is suggested that treating tissue with both nucleotides stimulates pyruvate kinase, the rate-limiting step in respiration of freshly cut slices, by increasing the concentration of endogenous ADP. Adenosine diphosphate continued to stimulate O(2) uptake until the peak of induced respiration, but ATP inhibited respiration during development and decline of this peak. Absence of respiratory stimulation by NaH(2)PO(4) and of respiratory inhibition by added nucleosides confirms that inorganic phosphate is not a limiting factor of respiration in freshly cut slices. The stimulation of respiration rate of these slices by dinitrophenol is consistent with results from experiments in which ADP and ATP were applied to the tissue.     

A comparison of the rate of oxygen uptake and the adenosine triphosphate content of routine and experimental BCG preparations

The ATP content and oxygen uptake rate, two parameters of viability of a BCG suspension, are compared. The lack of correlation between measurements made on fresh routine preparations indicates that the ATP measurements is affected by the degree of dispersion of the preparation. Experimental preparations made under standard conditions (constant semi-dry weight and stepwise dispersive grinding) from cultures of the same age as the fresh routine cultures (14 days) had a smaller ATP content, which correlated well with the respiration rate. In experimental preparations from seven-day cultures this correlation was significant. Between days 7 and 14 the ATP content declined much more rapidly than the respiration rate.     

Respiration,ATP level,and sugar accumulation in potato tubers during storage at 4°

A kinetic study was made of the relationship between respiration rate, sugar content and ATP levels, in fresh and aged potato tubers stored at 4°. The ATP content in tubers rose rapidly immediately after the chilling stress, while respiration rate decreased below the initial rate and sugar accumulation was not detected. After 4 days of storage, the ATP level declined and the sugars started to accumulate. The typical increase in respiration rate that usually follows chilling stress, appeared only in fresh tubers (at about the 6th day of storage). In dinitrophenol-treated tubers, the ATP level remained below the initial level and sugar accumulation was blocked completely. The evidence presented suggests that ATP elevation is not generated by the respiration burst.     

Patterns of respiration in Locusta migratoria nymphs when feeding

Flow‐through respirometry was used to investigate patterns of respiration of fifth‐instar Locusta migratoria L. nymphs fed a chemically defined, synthetic food. Each animal was recorded for up to 2.7 h, during which they had access to food and water ad libitum, and at least one meal was taken. The start of feeding was coincident with a sudden and rapid rise in respiration. Both carbon dioxide (CO₂) production and oxygen (O₂) consumption rose, the traces for the two gasses showing a high degree of alignment. The end of a meal correlated with a sudden and rapid decrease in respiratory rate towards resting levels. When feeding was interrupted by an intra‐meal pause, respiratory rate tended to drop marginally and then stabilize, before rising rapidly upon the resumption of feeding within the meal. Maximal rates of respiration during feeding represented a 3–4‐fold increase over those at rest. Walking and climbing within the chamber were not associated with any noticeable change in respiratory rate above baseline. When locusts were quiescent between feeding episodes, respiration was steady and continuous, rather than discontinuous. Possible causes for large changes in respiration during feeding are discussed.     

大血藤叶片生化成分的动态变化

Possible apical respiration in the olfactory epithelium of the frog Rana temporaria

Bioluminescent analysis has been made of the effect of oxygen supply on the content of ATP in the isolated olfactory epithelium of the frog. It was shown that storage of epithelium preparations in the air increases their ATP content. When preparations are kept in the atmosphere of an inert gas, ATP level in the epithelium rapidly decreases, being recovered after transition of preparations to the air medium. The data obtained indicate the existence of apical type of respiration in the olfactory epithelium of the frog.     

Effects of Antimycin, Glucose Deprivation, and Serum on Cultures of Neurons, Astrocytes, and Neuroblastoma Cells

The resistance of cultured mouse neuroblastoma cells, primary cultures of rat cerebellar neurons, and rat brain astrocytes to a block of aerobic metabolism was studied. Parameters such as lactate production and ATP content were measured in the presence of antimycin A and under various conditions of glucose, oxygen, and serum supply. The following conclusions can be drawn: (1) All cell types studied were characterized by an active production of lactate; (2) Incubation of the various cell types in the absence of glucose at normal oxygen tension did not affect ATP levels; (3) Respiration blocked by antimycin led to a Pasteur effect; (4) Neuroblastoma cells, but not the other cell types, were fully resistant to inhibition of respiration provided that sufficient glucose was supplied; (5) In the absence of glucose no stores of energy or utilizable substrate were present in the cell types studied when respiration was blocked; (6) In the presence of fetal calf serum anoxic neurons showed irreversible signs of degeneration.     

Control of respiration and metabolism in growing Klebsiella aerogenes. The role of adenine nucleotides

1. A rapid-sampling technique was used to obtain perchloric acid extracts of cells growing in a chemostat culture, so that meaningful values for ATP content could be obtained in spite of the fact that the turnover time for the total ATP content was about 1sec. 2. For steady-state growth, it was found that, in a glucose-limited chemostat culture, the ATP/ADP concentration ratio was approximately constant with changes in dissolved-oxygen tensions above the critical value, but fell when the culture was grown under oxygen-limited conditions and was at a minimum in anaerobically grown cultures. The steady-state ATP content was lower in cells growing under nitrogen-limited conditions with glucose in excess than in glucose-limited cells. The steady-state ATP content was independent of growth rate at growth rates over 0.1hr.(-1). 3. When the respiration rate of the cells was stimulated by lowering the oxygen tension the ATP content did not increase, indicating either an increased turnover rate of ATP or a fall in the P/O ratio. The sudden addition of extra glucose or succinate to a glucose-limited culture increased the respiration rate of the cells, but the ATP content quickly returned to the steady-state value after initial perturbations. This control over ATP content is explained in terms of regulation by adenine nucleotides of the catabolism and anabolism of glucose. An exception to this control over ATP content was found when the respiration rate was stimulated by addition of an antifoam.
