水稻叶片生育过程中RubisCO活性与光合,光呼吸的关系

水稻生育过程中，ＲｕＢＰ羧化酶活性与光合速率，ＲｕＢＰ加氧酶活性与光呼吸速率、ＲｕＢＰ羧化酶活性与加氧酶活性以及光合速率与光呼吸速率之间是相关的。籼型品种与粳型品种间酶活性的高低及光合、光呼吸速率的高低基本一致，籼型三系杂交稻无明显的光合优势。酶的羧化活性搞低只在一定范围内与光合速率的高低平行，在正常生育条件下，酶蛋白的数量不是水稻光合速率的限制因子。

光抑制条件下水稻籼粳亚种及其正反交F_1杂种的PSⅡ光化学效率和CO_2交换特点

测定了水稻（ＯｒｙｚａｓａｔｉｖａＬ．）不同正反交组合的ＰＳⅡ电子传递活性、Ｄ１蛋白量、叶绿素ａ荧光、净光合速率（ＰＮ）、光呼吸速率（ＰＲ）、ＲｕＢＰＣａｓｅ／Ｏａｓｅ活性,并对ＲｕＢＰＣａｓｅ进行了动力学分析。结果表明：光抑制条件下粳（ｊａｐｏｎｉｃａ）亚种中Ｄ１蛋白净降解少,ＰＳⅡ电子传递活性和光化学效率高,表现耐光抑制,而籼（ｉｎｄｉｃａ）亚种则相反,籼、粳正反交Ｆ１的上述指标介于双亲值之间且偏向其母本。进一步观察它们的ＣＯ２交换特点,所有基因型水稻ＰＲ保持稳定、ＰＮ降低,因而ＰＲ／ＰＮ增加。与耐光抑制的粳亚种相比,对光抑制敏感的籼亚种中ＰＮ降低较多、ＰＲ／ＰＮ增加较多。正反交Ｆ１杂种的ＰＲ／ＰＮ介于双亲值之间且偏向其母本。ＣＯ２交换的关键酶ＲｕＢＰＣａｓｅ／Ｏａｓｅ活性和ＲｕＢＰＣａｓｅ动力学参数没有变化且在基因型间无差异。相关分析表明,Ｄ１蛋白量与Ｆｖ／Ｆｍ、ＰＲ／ＰＮ的相关系数分别为０．９５０１和－０．９７６８。看来,质基因编码的Ｄ１蛋白是籼粳杂种稻光抑制特性及其生理遗传的分子基础。     

光呼吸和谷氨酰胺合成酶抑制剂对水稻冠层NH3挥发的影响

在营养液培养条件下,对两个不同氮效率基因型水稻品种扬稻6号和武育粳3号采用光呼吸抑制剂异烟肼（INH）和谷氨酰胺合成酶（GS）抑制剂蛋氨酸亚砜亚胺（MSO）处理,研究其对水稻光合速率、光呼吸速率、GS酶活性及冠层的NH。挥发速率的影响。结果发现：（1）MSO导致剑叶光合速率下降,光呼吸速率升高;INH导致光呼吸速率显著下降,同时一定程度上引起光合速率降低。（2）MSO处理显著降低了GS酶活性,相应地引起NH。挥发速率增加;INH在一定程度上导致NH。挥发速率降低。（3）扬稻6号NH。挥发速率比武育粳3号低的生理原因是光呼吸速率较低和GS酶活性较高。     

不同苜蓿(Medicago sativa L.)品种光合速率对光和CO2浓度的响应特征

以6个紫花苜蓿（Medicago sativa L.）品种为对象,用Licor-6400型便携式光合作用测定系统测定了紫花苜蓿光合作用对光、CO2的响应曲线,阐述了光合作用对光和CO2浓度的响应特征。结果表明,各品种光合速率随光强或CO2浓度的提高而增大均可用指数方程来模拟,并得出一些光合响应特征参数：表观量子效率、羧化效率、光补偿点、近光饱和点、暗呼吸速率、光呼吸速率、CO2补偿点、CO2饱和点等,品种间差异显著;巨人201＋Z、路宝具较高的近光饱和点、表观量子效率及羧化效率,较低的CO2补偿点,是具有较高的光能生产潜力的苜蓿品种;秋眠级数与表观量子效率、羧化效率、光补偿点、近光饱和点、暗呼吸速率、光呼吸速率均成不同程度的负相关,与CO2补偿点、CO2饱和点成微弱正相关,均未达到显著水平。

杂交水稻及其亲本光合特性的研究 Ⅲ.功能叶片碳代谢中一些酶活性

对杂交水稻青优159（母本青A,父本R159）和广优四号（母本广A,父本青六矮）及其亲本功能叶片光合碳代谢中一些酶活性进行了研究。实验结果表明了两组杂交水稻的RuBPCase活性、RuBPCase/RuBPOase活性比值超过其各自的亲本;而杂交水稻青化159和广优四号的RuBPOase活性、乙醇酸氧化酶活性、光呼吸速率、光呼吸速率与光合速率的比值明显的低于其各自双亲．对RuBPCase活性和乙醇酸氧化酶活性与光合速率进行相关分析,结果表明RuBPCase活性与光合速率有正相关关系,相关系数为0．768;而乙醇酸氧化酶活性与光合速率负相关,相关系数为-0．834;两者均达到α＝0．05显著水平。     

杂种小麦及亲本旗叶老化过程中RubisCO特性的研究

小麦（ＴｒｉｔｉｃｕｍａｅｓｔｉｖｕｍＬ．）旗叶的ＲｕＢＰｃａｓｅ活性、含量及ＲｕＢＰｏａｓｅ活性在旗叶全展或全展后１０ｄ达最大值,以后逐渐下降。与亲本相比,供试杂种小麦“麦优４号”在旗叶一生中尤其老化后期上述参数皆表现明显的杂种优势。旗叶ＲｕＢＰｃａｓｅ比活性在叶绿素缓降期保持平稳,在叶绿素速降期逐渐下降。供试杂种小麦较亲本具有较高的ＲｕＢＰ羧化酶和加氧酶活性,表明杂种小麦不仅具有较强的光合羧化作用,而且叶片光合作用过程中的光呼吸也较强。结果与旗叶ＲｕｂｉｓＣＯ亲合ＣＯ２和Ｏ２的动力学常数的测定结果相符。     

ABA和6—BA对干旱玉米幼苗PEP羧化酶活性的影响（简报）

玉米幼苗ＰＥＰ羧化酶活性随着土壤含量的下降而逐渐下降,复水后其活性虽然有回升,但未恢复到干旱前水平,叶面喷施１０＾－５ｍｏｌ／Ｌ ６－ＢＡ可提高玉米幼苗ＰＥＰ羧化酶活性,而同样浓度的ＡＢＡ则抑制ＰＥＰ羧化酶活性。６－ＢＡ还可增加干旱条件下玉米幼苗的光合速率,叶水势和叶绿素含量。     

森林次生演替优势种苗木的光可塑性比较研究

本文从研究苗木的叶绿素含量和ＲｕＢＰ羧化酶活性随着光环境的变化而发生改变的规律出发,来探讨森林次生演替优势种苗木的光可塑性大小和对弱光环境的适应能力。各种苗木的叶绿素含量都随着光强度变弱而增加,但如果较长时间生长在弱光环境中,由于叶绿素的合成小于分解,其含量也会逐渐变小。不同的演替阶段优势种苗木的叶绿素含量的增加或减少在量上有一定的区别。以叶绿素含量随着光环境变化的测定值为指标,用模糊数学分析的结果表明,苗木的耐荫性大小顺序是演替后期种（黄果厚壳桂Ｃｒｙｐｔｏｃａｒｙａｃｏｎｃｉｎｎａ）＞演替过渡种（藜蒴Ｃａｓｔａｎｏｐｓｉｓｆｉｓａ）＞演替过渡种（荷木Ｓｃｈｉｍａｓｕｐｅｒｂａ）＞演替先锋树种（马尾松Ｐｉｎｕｓｍａｓｏｎｉａｎａ）;且藜蒴和荷木很接近,稍靠近黄果厚壳桂。马尾松和荷木的ＲｕＢＰ羧化酶活性随着生长环境的光强度的增加,其活性有所增加;但黄果厚壳桂的相应值是在每日直照光１ｈ的光环境中最高。除马尾松外,演替过渡种和后期种的苗木都是在每日直照光１ｈ的光环境中生长最好,这和每日短期照光提高ＲｕＢＰ羧化酶活性的（与没有直照光的环境相比较）同时又不分解叶绿素、不降低其含量有密切的关系。     

Photosynthesis and kinetic characteristics of rubisco in Hibiscus cannabinus L

Photosynthetic characteristics in kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.), a C3 plant, were compared with Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench, another member of Malvaceae. Kenaf leaves exhibited significantly higher rate of photosynthesis (40 mg CO2 dm(-2) hr(-1)) which was 24.6 mg dm(-2) hr(-1) in A. esculentus. Rate of photo and dark respiration was similar in both the species. Kenaf leaf photosynthesis had a higher optimum temperature (32 degrees C) than that of A. esculentus (26 degrees C). Photosynthesis in kenaf leaves required higher saturation irradiance (1,600 micromole m(-2) sec(-1)). There was a significant correlation between photosynthetic rate and biomass yield in these species. The primary product of photosynthesis after 5 seconds of 14C-assimilation was 3-PGA in both the species. The kinetic properties of RuBP carboxylase/oxygenase were determined in the leaf extracts. Higher carboxylase activities were recorded with kenaf leaf extracts (245 pmole mg chl(-1) hr(-1)). Km (CO2) for kenaf leaf carboxylase was significantly lower (7.8 microM) than A. esculentus (13.5 microM) and corresponding difference in Vmax values of carboxylase was recorded between the two species. The kinetic characteristics of oxygenase were similar in both the extracts. These results indicated the variation in carboxylase activity and its kinetic characteristics reflected a significant difference in CO2 assimilation in C3 plants.     

The occurrence of both C3 and C4 photosynthetic characteristics in a single Zea mays plant

The activities of the carboxylating enzymes ribulose-1,5-biphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxylase in leaves of three-week old Zea mays plants grown under phytotron conditions were found to vary according to leaf position. In the lower leaves the activity of PEP carboxylase was lower than that of RuBP carboxylase, while the upper leaves exhibited high levels of PEP carboxylase. Carbon dioxide compensation points and net photosynthetic rates also differed in the lower and upper leaves. Differences in the fine structure of the lowermost and uppermost leaves are shown. The existence of both the C₃ and C₄ photosynthetic pathways in the same plant, in this and other species, is discussed.Abbreviations PEP phosphoenolpyruvate - RuBP ribulose-1,5-biphosphate     

Benzylaminopurine induced changes in photosynthesis and photorespiration of barley plants

Benzylaminopurine (BA) caused an enhancement of chlorophyll and protein content and a reduced elongation of primary barley leaves. BA did not change the rhythmic pattern of¹⁴CO₂ fixation and activities of RuBP carboxylase, RuBP oxygenase, glycolate oxidase and phosphoglycolate phosphatase, but the enzyme activities were enhanced and the level of¹⁴CO₂ fixation was reduced. Light/dark¹⁴CO₂ evolution ratio was affeoted by BA only in older leaves. BA acts sequentially on the activities of photosynthetic and photorespiratory enzymes.     

Limiting Factors in Photosynthesis: VI. Regeneration of Ribulose 1,5-Bisphosphate Limits Photosynthesis at Low Photochemical Capacity

Earlier work (SE Taylor, N Terry [1984] Plant Physiol 75: 82-86) has shown that the rate of photosynthesis may be colimited by photosynthetic electron transport capacity, even at low intercellular CO₂ concentrations. Here we monitored leaf metabolites diurnally and the activities of key Calvin cycle enzymes in the leaves of three treatment groups of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) plants representing three different in vivo photochemical capacities, i.e. Fe-sufficient (control) plants, moderately Fe-deficient, and severely Fe-deficient plants. The results show that the decrease in photosynthesis with Fe deficiency mediated reduction in photochemical capacity was through a reduction in ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) regeneration and not through a decrease in ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activity. Based on measurements of ATP and NADPH and triose phosphate/3-phosphoglycerate ratios in leaves, there was little evidence that photosynthesis and RuBP regeneration in Fe-deficient leaves were limited directly by the supply of ATP and NADPH. It appeared more likely that photochemical capacity influenced RuBP regeneration through modulation of enzymes in the photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle between fructose-6-phosphate and RuBP; in particular, the initial activity of ribulose-5-phosphate kinase was strongly diminished by Fe deficiency. Starch and sucrose levels changed independently of one another to some extent during the diurnal period (both increasing in the day and decreasing at night) but the average rates of starch or sucrose accumulation over the light period were each proportional to photochemical capacity and photosynthetic rate.     

Dependence of photosynthesis of sunflower and maize leaves on phosphate supply, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activity, and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate pool size

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. cv Asmer) and maize (Zea mays L. cv Eta) plants were grown under controlled environmental conditions with a nutrient solution containing 0, 0.5, or 10 millimolar inorganic phosphate. Phosphate-deficient leaves had lower photosynthetic rates at ambient and saturating CO₂ and much smaller carboxylation efficiencies than those of plants grown with ample phosphate. In addition, phosphate-deficient leaves contained smaller quantities of total soluble proteins and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) per unit area, although the relative proportions of these components remained unchanged. The specific activity of Rubisco (estimated in the crude extracts of leaves) was significantly reduced by phosphate deficiency in sunflower but not in maize. Thus, there was a strong dependence of carboxylation efficiency and CO₂-saturated photosynthetic rate on Rubisco activity only in sunflower. Phosphate deficiency decreased the 3-phosphoglycerate and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) contents of the leaf in both species. The ratio of 3-phosphoglycerate to RuBP decreased in sunflower but increased in maize with phosphate deficiency. The calculated concentrations of RuBP and RuBP-binding sites in the chloroplast stroma decreased markedly with phosphate deficiency. The ratio of the stromal concentration of RuBP to that of RuBP-binding sites decreased in sunflower but was not affected in maize with phosphate deficiency. We suggest that a decrease in this ratio made the RuBP-binding sites more vulnerable to blockage or inactivation by tight-binding metabolites/inhibitors, causing a decrease in the initial specific activity of Rubisco in the crude extract from phosphate-deficient sunflower leaves. However, the decrease in Rubisco specific activity was much less than the decrease in the RuBP content in the leaf and its concentration in the stroma. A large ratio of RuBP to RuBP-binding sites may have maintained the Rubisco-specific activity in phosphate-deficient maize leaves. We conclude that the effect of phosphate deficiency is more on RuBP regeneration than on Rubisco activity in both sunflower and maize.     

普通野生稻和武育粳8号剑叶光合功能衰退的比较

以武育粳 8号 (Wuyujing8)和普通野生稻 (Oryza.sativaL .f.spontaneaRoschev .)为材料 ,比较了它们剑叶光合功能衰退的进程。结果表明 ,在剑叶一生中 ,武育粳 8号剑叶的叶绿素含量和光合速率都高于普通野生稻 ,光合速率的最高值前者为 2 3 .5 μmolCO2 m 2 ·S 1,后者为 1 5 .5 μmolCO2 m 2 ·S 1。前者剑叶光合速率的高值持续期比后者长近 2 0d ,其叶源量是后者的 2 .8倍。武育粳 8号剑叶叶绿素含量最大值的SPAD值为 5 0 .1 ,而普通野生稻最大值的SPAD值为 42 .7。在可溶性蛋白质的基础上 ,核酮糖 1 ,5 二磷酸羧化酶比活性二者之间没有太大区别。内肽酶活力上升落后于光合功能的衰退。在光合功能衰退的早期 ,内肽酶的活力仅有小幅度提高 ,但在叶片衰老的末期升高幅度则较大。这说明内肽酶主要在光合功能衰退的后期即不可逆衰退期才发挥较大作用。     

Photosynthetic acclimation in rice leaves to free-air CO2 enrichment related to both ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylation limitation and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate regeneration limitation

Net photosynthetic rates (Pns) in leaves were compared between rice plants grown in ambient air control and free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE, about 200 micromol mol(-1) above ambient) treatment rings. When measured at the same CO2 concentration, the Pn of FACE leaves decreased significantly, indicating that photosynthetic acclimation to high CO2 occurs. Although stomatal conductance (Gs) in FACE leaves was markedly decreased, intercellular CO2 concentrations (Ci) were almost the same in FACE and ambient leaves, indicating that the photosynthetic acclimation is not caused by the decreased Gs. Furthermore, carboxylation efficiency and maximal Pn, both light and CO2-saturated Pn, were decreased in FACE leaves, as shown by the Pn-Ci curves. In addition, the soluble protein, Rubisco (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate caboxylase/oxygenase), and its activase contents as well as the sucrose-phosphate synthase activity decreased significantly, while some soluble sugar, inorganic phosphate, chlorophyll and light-harvesting complex II (LHC II) contents increased in FACE leaves. It appears that the photosynthetic acclimation in rice leaves is related to both ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylation limitation and RuBP regeneration limitation.     

Protein degradation in C3 and C4 plants with particular reference to ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase and glycolate oxidase

Determining the degradation characteristics of proteins is difficult due to the lack of appropriate methodologies, particularly in the case of leaf proteins. Previous studies suggest that ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBP carboxylase; EC 4.1.1.39) proteolysis may be fundamentally different in C3 and C4 plants. To test this hypothesis, the relative degradation rates of the total soluble protein, RuBP carboxylase and glycolate oxidase (EC 1.1.3.1) in the second leaves of intact C3 (Triticum aestivum L.) and C4 (Zea mays L) and Sorghum bicolor L.)plants was measured. The methodology utilized involved an efficient procedure to label the leaf proteins, the use of a double-labelling method to measure protein degradation and a single-step purification of the labelled proteins under study. RuBP carboxylase is subjected to continuous degradation in all plants investigated. Its rate of degradation is higher for Z. mays, intermediate for T. aestivum and lower for S. bicolor. When the rate of RuBP carboxylase degradation was compared with that of the total soluble protein a differential pattern was obtained for the plant species examined: whereas maize presents a faster rate of RuBP carboxylase degradation than of the total soluble protein, wheat and sorghum show similar rates. However, the rate of RuBP carboxylase proteolysis in the three plant species studied is much lower than the rate of glycolate oxidase degradation. The results obtained indicate that, under the conditions of study, the degradation characteristics of plant RuBP carboxylase, as those of glycolate oxidase, are species specific, in a way suggesting that they do not depend on the type of photosynthetic metabolism of the species considered (C3 or C4).     

Small decreases in SBPase cause a linear decline in the apparent RuBP regeneration rate, but do not affect Rubisco carboxylation capacity

The response of net photosynthetic CO(2) uptake (A) to increasing leaf intercellular CO(2) concentration (c(i)) was determined in antisense Nicotiana tabacum plants, derived from six independent transformation lines, displaying a range of sedoheptulose-1, 7-bisphosphatase (SBPase) activities. The maximum in vivo ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) carboxylation (V(c,max)) and RuBP regeneration (J(max)) rates were calculated from the steady-state measurements of the A to c(i) response curves. In plants with reductions in SBPase activity of between 9% and 60%, maximum RuBP regeneration capacity declined linearly (r(2)=0.79) and no significant change in apparent in vivo Rubisco activity (V(c,max)) was observed in these plants. No correlation between V(c,max) and a decrease in capacity for RuBP regeneration was observed (r(2)=0.14) in the SBPase antisense plants. These data demonstrate that small decreases in SBPase activity limit photosynthetic carbon assimilation by reducing the capacity for RuBP regeneration.     

Changes in leaf photosynthesis of transgenic rice with silenced <Emphasis Type="Italic">OsBP-73</Emphasis> gene

In comparison with its wild type (WT), the transgenic (TG) rice with silenced OsBP-73 gene had significantly lower plant height, grain number per panicle, and leaf net photosynthetic rate (P _N). Also, the TG rice showed significantly lower chlorophyll (Chl), ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBPCO), RuBPCO activase, and RuBP contents, photosystem 2 (PS2) photochemical efficiency (F_v/F_m and ΔF/F_m′), apparent quantum yield of carbon assimilation (Φ_c), carboxylation efficiency (CE), photosynthetic electron transport and photophosphorylation rates as well as sucrose phosphate synthase activity, but higher intercellular CO₂ concentration, sucrose, fructose, and glycerate 3-phosphate contents, and non-photochemical quenching of Chl fluorescence (NPQ). Thus the decreased P _N in the TG rice leaves is related to both RuBP carboxylation and RuBP regeneration limitations, and the latter is a predominant limitation to photosynthesis.
