增强UV-B辐射对柚树苗生长和生理特性效应研究

增强的UV-B辐射明显降低柚树苗的株高,叶面积,比叶面积,增加叶片厚度和叶肉密度.柚树苗叶片叶绿素,可溶性蛋白含量和硝酸还原酶活性降低,可溶性糖含量上升.不同品种柚苗对UV-B辐射反应存在差异,酸柚抗性较强.经UV-B增强处理后,叶片Pn值下降,Rd先上升后恢复原有水平.Fv/Fm,ΦPSⅡ,qP均有不同程度的降低,而qN和KD升高,表明增强UV-B导致PSⅡ失活,PSⅡ原初光化学效率、开放PSⅡ中心数目和非环式电子传递效率下降.部分激发能通过非光化学荧光猝灭形式耗散.UV-B辐射使叶片膜脂过氧化产物MDA含量大幅度上升.SOD和APX活性在处理初期提高,随后下降,初步推测:增强UV-B辐射诱导膜脂过氧化作用,攻击光合作用中心靶点并导致PSⅡ失活,进而降低植物光合能力和物质代谢强度,最终导致柚树苗生长受到抑制.     

长期增强UV-B辐射对高寒矮嵩草草甸植物光合作用的影响

以高寒矮嵩草(Kobresia humilis)草甸地区的强光和天然太阳短波辐射为背景,在植物生长季每天人工增补15.8 kJ·m-2的辐射剂量,模拟平流层臭氧破坏5%时近地表面增加的太阳UV-B辐射强度,探讨高寒矮嵩草草甸植物光合作用对UV-B辐射增强的响应.结果显示:(1)长期增强UV-B辐射对高寒矮嵩草草甸大多数植物的光合作用没有明显的负面影响;其中异针茅(Stipa aliena)、苔草(Carex atrofusca)、黄芪(Astragalus sp.)的光合作用受到抑制,但棘豆(Oxytropis ochrocephala)、异叶米口袋(Gueldenstaedtia multiflora)、鹅绒委陵菜(Potentilla anserina)、柔软紫菀(Aster flaccidus)、羌活(Notoperygium forbesii)的净光合速率和表观量子效率增加,这与它们的形态特征,气孔因素以及水分利用效率有关.(2)长期增强UV-B辐射使高寒矮嵩草草甸大多数植物的类胡萝卜素含量增加,叶绿素a/叶绿素b比值和类胡萝卜素/叶绿素比值升高,这更有利于植物吸收更多的紫外辐射,减少UV-B辐射增加对高寒矮嵩草草甸植物的伤害,起到了光合保护的作用,有利于植物光合作用的进行,也是高寒矮嵩草草甸植物适应环境的一种策略.研究表明,长期增强UV-B辐射不会减少高寒矮嵩草草甸生态系统的初级生产力.     

外源茉莉酸对牛皮杜鹃UV-B辐射缓解作用研究

为了探究外源茉莉酸在UV-B辐射中可能的作用及缓解作用机制。茉莉酸预处理牛皮杜鹃4 d,PAR和UV-B下辐射48 h,对叶绿素荧光、过氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、丙二醛(MDA)、NADPH氧化酶和花青素进行测定。结果显示,UV-B辐射使Fm、Fv/Fm、Fv'/Fm'、Fv/Fo、qP、花青素含量以及CAT活性显著降低,qP和rETR快速光响应曲线下降幅度增大,同时显著提高SOD和NADPH氧化酶的活性。JA预处理显著提高Fm、Fv/Fm、Fv'/Fm'、Fv/Fo、qP、花青素含量以及SOD和NADPH氧化酶活性,并且维持MDA含量和CAT活性在对照水平,且使qP、NPQ和rETR快速光响应曲线呈现出最佳状态。这些结果证实了外施茉莉酸能够使牛皮杜鹃具有抗胁迫能力,部分抵消了UV-B辐射对牛皮杜鹃的负面影响的假说。     

He-Ne激光和增强UV-B辐射对小麦幼苗叶绿素荧光特性的影响

选用"ML7113"小麦幼苗为材料,分别采用He-Ne激光(5mW·mm-2)和增强UV-B(10.8 kJ/m-2·d-1)辐射以及两者的复合辐照进行处理,利用PAM-2100便携式叶绿素荧光仪测定小麦幼苗在不同处理天数(5、6、7、8)下叶绿素荧光特性的变化。结果表明:增强UV-B辐射后,随着处理时间的延长,小麦幼苗的Fo、Fm、Fv/Fm、qP、ФPSⅡ、叶绿素含量的值均逐渐下降,qN值均逐渐升高,从而不断减弱小麦幼苗的叶绿体荧光特性;而低剂量的He-Ne激光辐照后能够在一定程度上修复经UV-B辐射后对小麦幼苗叶绿素荧光所造成的损伤。     

NaCl胁迫下星星草幼苗MDA含量与膜透性及叶绿素荧光参数之间的关系

星星草幼苗在不同浓度NaCl胁迫处理7d后,测定了叶绿素荧光参数、MDA含量和叶片电解质外渗率。结果表明,在低浓度NaCl(小于1·2%)胁迫下,星星草幼苗叶绿体MDA含量随胁迫强度的增强而降低,而在高浓度NaCl(1·2%~2·4%)胁迫下则相反。在低浓度NaCl(小于1·2%)胁迫下,Fv/Fm(PSⅡ原初光能转化效率)、Fv/Fo(表PSⅡ潜在活性)、Fv′/Fm′(类囊体能化时PSⅡ固有效率)和qP(荧光光化学淬灭效率)随着胁迫强度的增强而增高,而在高浓度NaCl(1·2%~2·4%)胁迫下则随着胁迫强度的增强而降低;而qNP(荧光非光化学淬灭效率)和HDR(热耗散速率)却随着胁迫强度的增强而增高。ΦPSⅡ(PSⅡ实际光化学效率)在低浓度NaCl(小于0·4%)胁迫下随着胁迫强度增强而升高,在0·4%~1·6%之间迅速下降,大于1·6%时,ΦPSⅡ又迅速升高。Fv/Fm、Fv/Fo、Fv′/Fm′和qP均随着MDA含量的增高而降低,而EL(叶片电解质外渗率)、qNP和HDR在MDA含量较低的范围(0·9753~1·1901μmol·g-1FW)内均减小,在MDA含量较高的范围(1·3080~1·8518μmol·g-1FW)内,均迅速增大。ΦPSⅡ在MDA含量较低范围(0·9753~1·0953μmol·g-1FW)内时上升,但变化不大,随着MDA含量的增高(在1·1172~1·1901μmol·g-1FW)范围内迅速降低,但当MDA含量进一步增高时(在1·3080~1·8518μmol·g-1FW)范围内又迅速升高。这些结果表明,星星草幼苗的荧光参数具体的变化规律与盐胁迫强度和幼苗细胞膜的受损伤程度密切相关,即低浓度NaCl胁迫(小于1·2%)下,星星草幼苗由于活性氧的增加而发生膜脂过氧化可能主要通过体内较高活性的保护酶系统来清除,而高浓度NaCl胁迫(大于1·2%)下,星星草幼苗可能具有与其它植物不同的保护机制,即可能主要通过增加qNP(荧光非光化学淬灭效率)、HDR(热耗散速率)耗散过剩的光能和提高ΦPSⅡ增强假循环式光合磷酸化过程,消耗掉多余的能量,以保护光合器官免受过剩光能的损伤,从而减轻膜脂过氧化作用。     

云杉幼苗对气候变暖和UV-B辐射增强的光合响应

采用开顶式有机玻璃罩(OTCs)及紫外灯分别模拟气候变暖和紫外辐射B(UV-B)增强,对位于气候变暖和UV-B增强突出的青藏高原东缘、高山峡谷地云杉(Picea asperata)幼苗的光合气体交换和叶绿素荧光参数进行测定分析,探讨云杉幼苗对气候变暖和UV-B增强的光合响应特性。结果显示:(1)UV-B辐射增强显著抑制了云杉幼苗茎和根的伸长生长以及生物量的累积,显著降低了云杉幼苗的净光合速率(Pn)、最大光合速率(Pmax)和表观量子产量(Φ),但是提高了光补偿点(LCP);UV-B辐射增强导致了云杉幼苗光合系统Ⅱ(PSⅡ)的光抑制,使PSⅡ有效量子产量(ΦPSⅡ)显著降低。(2)单纯OTC模拟增温显著提高了云杉幼苗的Pn和Pmax,而对气孔导度(Gs)、蒸腾速率(Tr)和Φ无显著影响。(3)模拟增温缓解了UV-B增强对云杉幼苗光合作用的抑制作用,显著提高了UV-B胁迫下幼苗的Pn、Pmax、PSⅡ的潜在量子效率(Fv/Fm)和有效量子产量(ΦPSⅡ),并且提高了UV-B胁迫下幼苗茎、根的生长以及生物量的累积。研究表明,在未来气候变暖和UV-B辐射增强同时存在时,气候变暖能够在一定程度上缓解UV-B增强对云杉林光合作用的抑制作用。     

CaCl_2对UV-B辐射下菠菜叶片光合特性的影响

以"丹麦旺盛菠菜"为材料,通过UV-B和CaCl2复合处理,测定光合色素含量、Hill反应活力、叶绿素荧光、MDA含量和抗氧化酶活性等参数,探讨了CaCl2对UV-B辐射下菠菜叶片电子传递链和光合膜酶保护系统的影响。结果表明,UV-B处理下,光合色素含量、chl/car、类囊体膜上PSII潜在活性(Fv/Fo)、光化学淬灭系数(qP)、非光化学淬灭系数(qN)、PSII光量子产量(ΦPSⅡ)、原初光能转化效率(Fv/Fm),以及Hill反应活力等降低,chla/chlb和MDA含量升高;喷洒CaCl2可不同程度缓解UV-B的伤害。不同处理下,POD、SOD和CAT活性的变化呈现补偿效应。UV-B强度与菠菜叶片PSII功能受损程度呈正相关,CaCl2则主要通过提高chlb含量、类囊体膜上的光量子产量和POD活性,以缓解伤害。重度UV-B辐射下,CaCl2使chlb含量显著提高可能是导致PSII捕光效率提高的重要因素。     

不同剂量UV-B辐射对冬小麦幼苗形态及生理指标的影响

UV-B辐射增强对植物的影响效果存在差异,即使是同一物种的不同品种之间也存在差异。本研究以对UV-B不同耐性的2个冬小麦品种科遗26和泰山269为材料,比较了品种间及UV-B的剂量间的形态指标、生物量及生理指标的差异。结果表明:高剂量UV-B处理抑制了株高、叶色、茎数、鲜质量、光反应系统Ⅱ(PSⅡ)最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)和光合速率,促进了丙二醛、类黄酮含量的增加及相对电导率的提高,2个品种的趋势基本相同,但泰山269的变化幅度大于科遗26,说明泰山269比科遗26敏感;低剂量的UV-B对株高、叶色、茎数、鲜质量表现出促进的趋势,对类黄酮的促进作用较大,对Fv/Fm、丙二醛及相对电导率的影响相对较小。     

He-Ne激光对增强UV-B辐射下小麦幼苗膜脂过氧化的缓解作用

采用He-Ne激光(5 mW/mm2)辐照增强UV-B辐射(10.08 kJ/m2.d)的晋麦8号小麦幼苗,通过测定小麦幼苗叶片细胞质膜透性、丙二醛(MDA)的含量以及脂氧合酶(LOX)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)和谷光苷肽过氧化物酶(GPX)的活性变化,研究He-Ne激光对增强UV-B辐射的小麦幼苗膜脂过氧化的影响。结果显示,He-Ne激光辐照可使经UV-B辐射后小麦幼苗叶片质膜相对透性、MDA含量、LOX活性降低,而使CAT、APX和GPX的活性均升高。分析表明UV-B辐射增强可导致膜脂过氧化加剧,而一定剂量的He-Ne激光能够通过促进酶促抗氧化系统酶的活性来缓解紫外线辐射下小麦幼苗的膜脂过氧化作用。     

三角褐指藻和小角毛藻对UV-B辐射增强的生理生化响应

通过实验生态学和生物化学的方法,研究了UV-B辐射对三角褐指藻和小角毛藻的生长、叶绿素a、类胡萝卜素、丙二醛、可溶性蛋白含量和抗氧化物酶活性的影响。结果表明:(1) UV-B辐射增强抑制了2种微藻的生长,低剂量(0.75J/m²)UV-B辐射对三角褐指藻的生长具有一定刺激作用。(2) 三角褐指藻的叶绿素a含量随辐射剂量的增加先上升后下降,小角毛藻chl-a含量缓慢下降。2种微藻MDA含量随UV-B辐射剂量的增加而升高。(3) 随着辐射剂量的增加,三角褐指藻可溶性蛋白含量先稍有升高后较快下降。小角毛藻可溶性蛋白含量始终呈下降趋势。(4) UV-B辐射增强使2种微藻的SOD 、POD和CAT活性先升高后下降,小角毛藻的酶活性变化相对稳定。     

Presence of Rhizobium Etli bv . Phaseoli and Rhizobium Gallicum bv . Gallicum in Egyptian Soils

Seven bean rhizobial strains EBRI 2, 3, 21, 24, 26, 27 and 29 identified as Rhizobium etli, and EBRI 32 identified as Rhizobium gallicum, isolated from Egyptian soils and which nodulated Phaseolus vulgaris efficiently, were subjected to hybridization with a nifH probe in order to estimate the copy number of this gene. Seven strains (EBRI 2, 3, 21, 24, 26, 27 and 29) which were only able to nodulate Phaseolus vulgaris, contained three copies of the nifH gene, consistent with their identification as Rhizobium etli bv. phaseoli. Only one strain (EBRI 32) which nodulated both Phaseolus vulgaris and Leucaena leucocephala, had one copy of nifH gene. This confirmed the classification of this strain as Rhizobium gallicum bv. gallicum.     

Effects of MULTIFOLIATE-PINNA, AFILA, TENDRIL-LESS and UNIFOLIATA genes on leafblade architecture in Pisum sativum

In order to dissect the genetic regulation of leafblade morphogenesis, 16 genotypes of pea, constructed by combining the wild-type and mutant alleles of MFP, AF, TL and UNI genes, were quantitatively phenotyped. The morphological features of the three domains of leafblades of four genotypes, unknown earlier, were described. All the genotypes were found to differ in leafblade morphology. It was evident that MFP and TL functions acted as repressor of pinna ramification, in the distal domain. These functions, with and without interaction with UNI, also repressed the ramification of proximal pinnae in the absence of AF function. The expression of MFP and TL required UNI function. AF function was found to control leafblade architecture multifariously. The earlier identified role of AF as a repressor of UNI in the proximal domain was confirmed. Negative control of AF on the UNI-dependent pinna ramification in the distal domain was revealed. It was found that AF establishes a boundary between proximal and distal domains and activates formation of leaflet pinnae in the proximal domain.     

Characterisation of cell wall polysaccharides, arabinogalactans-proteins (AGPs) and phenolics of Cola nitida, Cola acuminata and Garcinia kola seeds

Many Cola plant species are endemic to West and Central Africa. Cola acuminata and Cola nitida are used as masticatory when fresh, while the dried nuts are used for beverages and pharmaceutical purposes in Europe and North America. Garcinia kola seeds, that serve as a substitute for the true kola nuts, are used in African traditional medicine for the treatment of various diseases, including colic, headache and liver cirrhosis. Seeds extracts of G. kola are also known for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antiviral properties. To gain information on the chemical properties of the kolas, we have isolated and analyzed cell wall polysaccharides, arabinogalactan-proteins and phenolic substances from the seeds of the three kola species. The sugar composition of cell wall material of C. acuminata, C. nitida and G. kola revealed that Gal (up to 30%), Ara, GalA and Glc as the predominant monosaccharides, representing approximately 90% by mol of the total hydrolysable sugar present in this material. In Ammonium oxalate cell wall fraction, GalA was found to be the major sugar present in all kola species. In the alkali-soluble fraction, there were significant differences in the level of Glc and Gal. The level of Glc was high in C. acuminata and C. nitida while the level of Gal and Xyl were high in C. nitida and G. cola. Isolation and quantification of arabinogalactan-proteins demonstrate that G. kola seeds contained four to eight times more of these proteoglycans than the seeds of the other two species. Finally, analysis of soluble phenolic substances shows that caffeine and catechin were largely represented in C. acumina and C. nitida seeds, with caffeine accounting for 50% of all soluble phenolics. These findings indicate that the three Kola seeds are highly enriched in pectins and proteoglycans and that C. acuminata and C. nitida can be used as a possible source of caffeine and catechin.

The phylogenetic placement of Ostropales within Lecanoromycetes (Ascomycota) revisited

Results of molecular studies regarding the phylogenetic placement of the order Ostropales and related taxa within Lecanoromycetes were thus far inconclusive. Some analyses placed the order as sister to the rest of Lecanoromycetes, while others inferred a position nested within Lecanoromycetes. We assembled a data set of 101 species including sequences from nuLSU rDNA, mtSSU rDNA, and the nuclear protein-coding RPB1 for each species to examine the cause of incongruencies in previously published phylogenies. MP, minimum evolution, and Bayesian analyses were performed using the combined three-region data set and the single-gene data sets. The position of Ostropales nested in Lecanoromycetes is confirmed in all single-gene and concatenated analyses, and a placement as sister to the rest of Lecanoromycetes is significantly rejected using two independent methods of alternative topology testing. Acarosporales and related taxa (Acarosporaceae group) are basal in Lecanoromycetes. However, if the these basal taxa are excluded from the analyses, Ostropales appear to be sister to the rest of Lecanoromycetes, suggesting different ingroup rooting as the cause for deviating topologies in previously published phylogenies.

Hydroxylation of steroids by Fusarium oxysporum, Exophiala jeanselmei and Ceratocystis paradoxa

The potential of Fusarium oxysporum var. cubense UAMH 9013 to perform steroid biotransformations was reinvestigated using single phase and pulse feed conditions. The following natural steroids served as substrates: dehydroepiandrosterone (1), pregnenolone (2), testosterone (3), progesterone (4), cortisone (5), prednisone (6), estrone (7) and sarsasapogenin (8). The results showed the possible presence of C-7 and C-15 hydroxylase enzymes. This hypothesis was explored using three synthetic androstanes: androstane-3,17-dione (9), androsta-4,6-diene-3,17-dione (10) and 3α,5α-cycloandrost-6-en-17-one (11). These fermentations of non-natural steroids showed that C-7 hydroxylation was as a result of that position being allylic. The evidence also pointed towards the presence of a C-15 hydroxylase enzyme.The eleven steroids were also fed to Exophialajeanselmei var. lecanii-corni UAMH 8783. The results showed that the fungus appears to have very active 5α and 14α-hydroxylase enzymes, and is also capable of carrying out allylic oxidations.Ceratocystis paradoxa UAMH 8784 was grown in the presence of the above-mentioned steroids. The results showed that monooxygenases which effect allylic hydroxylation and Baeyer–Villiger rearrangement were active. However, redox reactions predominated.
