为明确低温胁迫后恢复过程中水杨酸(SA)对植物光合特性的影响,以黄瓜品种‘津研四号’幼苗为材料,通过沙培试验,研究了外源SA对夜间5℃低温胁迫后常温(25℃)恢复中黄瓜幼苗叶绿素含量、光合速率、叶绿素荧光参数、气体交换参数等的影响。结果显示:(1)与喷施清水处理相比,外源SA处理显著促进了夜间低温胁迫后的常温(25℃)恢复效果,显著提高了恢复速度和水平,表现在黄瓜幼苗叶绿素含量、净光合速率(Pn)、蒸腾速率(Tr)、气孔导度(Gs)和胞间CO2浓度(Ci)显著升高,黄瓜幼苗净光合速率在恢复6h时达到对照水平的82.18%。(2)外源SA还明显加快了恢复过程中黄瓜幼苗叶片最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)、实际光化学效率(ΦPSⅡ)及非循环电子传递速率(ETR)的恢复,提高了非光化学猝灭系数(NPQ)值,增强了幼苗自身光保护能力。(3)外源SA也促进了黄瓜幼苗叶片表观量子效率(AQY)和羧化效率(CE)的恢复,它们在恢复2d时分别达到对照水平的92.59%和90.62%。研究表明,在夜间低温胁迫后的常温恢复过程中,外源SA可有效地促进黄瓜幼苗光合作用的恢复,增强其对低温环境的适应能力。     

供镁水平对油桐幼苗生长及光合特性的影响

采用营养液砂培试验,研究不同供镁水平对油桐幼苗生长、光合特性及叶绿素荧光参数等的影响。结果表明,低镁浓度(Mg2+2 mmol·L-1)显著抑制了油桐的生长,叶绿素含量、Ru BP羧化酶及PEPC活性、净光合速率(Pn)、气孔导度(Gs)、蒸腾速率(Tr)、气孔限制值(Ls)、水分利用效率(WUE)、最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)、实际光化学量子效率(ΦPSII)、PSII的潜在活性(Fv/Fo)及光化学淬灭系数(q P)显著下降(P0.05),胞间CO2浓度(Ci)、初始荧光(Fo)、非光化学淬灭系数(NPQ)有所升高;高镁浓度(Mg2+4 mmol·L-1)也抑制了油桐幼苗的生长,导致叶片叶绿素含量、Ru BP羧化酶活性、Pn、Gs、Fv/Fm、Fv/Fo及q P均下降(P0.05);随着供镁水平的增加,油桐的生长量、叶绿素含量、Ru BP羧化酶及PEPC活性、Pn呈先增加后降低的趋势;当镁离子浓度为2~4 mmol·L-1时,有利于油桐幼苗正常生长,缺镁胁迫下油桐光合速率的下降主要是由光合机构活性降低的非气孔因素引起的。     

氯化胆碱对盐胁迫黄瓜幼苗渗透调节物质及活性氧代谢系统的影响

以盐敏感型黄瓜品种津春4号为材料,采用水培方法研究了叶面喷施不同浓度(0.5、1.0和1.5 mmol·L-1)氯化胆碱(CC)对NaCl胁迫(75 mmol·L-1)下黄瓜幼苗鲜重、叶片叶绿素、渗透调节物质含量及活性氧代谢系统的影响.结果表明:(1)单独CC处理可提高黄瓜叶片的叶绿素、可溶性糖和可溶性蛋白含量以及过氧化氢酶(CAT)与过氧化物酶(POD)活性,降低O2·-产生速率,但对植株鲜重及超氧化物岐化酶(SOD)活性影响不大;(2)NaCl胁迫处理增加了黄瓜幼苗叶片中可溶性糖和可溶性蛋白含量,增强了SOD、POD和CAT活性,提高了O2·-产生速率及丙二醛(MDA)的含量,但同时降低了叶绿素含量与植株鲜重;(3)盐胁迫前CC预处理可缓解黄瓜幼苗叶绿素含量和植株鲜重的下降、以及MDA含量和O2·-产生速率的上升趋势,且进一步提高了盐胁迫下黄瓜叶片中SOD、POD和CAT活性.因此,适宜浓度的氯化胆碱可显著提高盐胁迫下黄瓜叶片的抗氧化酶活性,提高清除活性氧的能力,缓解盐胁迫对黄瓜幼苗细胞膜的伤害,增强黄瓜幼苗的耐盐性.

干旱胁迫对不同土壤基质下核桃楸幼苗的生理特性的影响

为探究不同土壤基质条件下核桃楸幼苗对干旱胁迫生理特性的响应,以两年生核桃楸幼苗为研究对象,在腐殖土、壤土和砂壤土三种基质条件下进行控水试验,水分梯度分别设置为CK(正常供水,80%田间持水量)、T1(轻度胁迫,60%田间持水量)、T2(中度胁迫,40%田间持水量)和T3(重度胁迫,20%田间持水量),测定幼苗叶片叶绿素、丙二醛、脯氨酸、抗氧化酶和光合指标。结果表明,随着胁迫程度的加深,叶绿素含量和Chla/b均呈逐渐降低的趋势(P<0.05),在胁迫60d时,T3处理下的叶绿素a(Chla)和叶绿素b(Chlb)分别比CK低65.41%和51.57%,3种基质中叶绿含量大小顺序为:腐殖土>壤土>砂壤土。随着胁迫程度的加深,叶片脯氨酸(Pro)、丙二醛(MDA)则呈逐渐升高的趋势(P<0.05),胁迫60d时,砂壤土中T3处理的Pro含量最高为83.37mg·g-1,比CK高86.32%。腐殖土中幼苗叶片超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性均随胁迫程度加深而升高,壤土中叶片SOD活性则呈先升高后降低的变化规律。3种土壤基质中核桃楸叶片净光合速率(Pn)、蒸腾速率(Tr)和气孔导度(Gs)均随着胁迫程度的加深而降低,但不同基质中幼苗叶片的气孔限制和非气孔限制发生的时间不同,T3处理的叶片胞间CO2浓度(Ci)在腐殖土中是12:00时最低,而在壤土和砂壤土中则是10:00时最低。土壤全氮、全磷、渗透速率和蒸腾速率与叶绿素含量存在显著的正相关关系(P<0.05),土壤容重与叶绿素含量存在显著的负相关关系(P<0.05)。因此,土壤基质和干旱胁迫对核桃楸幼苗的生理生化和光合特性产生了显著的影响,重度胁迫对幼苗的叶绿素、渗透物质和酶体系产生了严重的损伤,同时降低了核桃楸幼苗的光合生产力。总体上,腐殖土中的幼苗有着较好的抗旱表现。     

不同钙素水平对厚皮甜瓜叶片光合作用和保护酶活性的影响

采用深液流无土栽培方式,研究不同钙素水平对厚皮甜瓜叶片光合作用和保护酶活性的影响。结果表明,在缺钙、低钙、高钙胁迫下,厚皮甜瓜叶片中的叶绿素和类胡萝卜素含量明显下降,叶绿素a/叶绿素b比值升高;同时叶片中的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)的活性及丙二醛(MAD)含量、相对电导率、可溶性蛋白质含量都明显高于正常供钙的植株。缺钙胁迫下,基础荧光(Fo)下降,低钙和高钙胁迫下Fo 升高,但缺钙、低钙、高钙胁迫下叶片叶绿素荧光参数Fv/Fm、Fv/Fo、Fm、Yield和ETR都明显下降。缺钙胁迫下叶片净光合速率(Pn)、气孔导度(Gs)下降,胞间 CO2 浓度(Ci)升高;而高钙胁迫下 Pn、Gs 下降的同时,Ci 也相应下降,表明缺钙胁迫下的光合抑制主要是由于非气孔限制引起,而高钙胁迫下的光合抑制主要是由于气孔限制引起。     

盐胁迫对转AtNHX1基因杨树光合特性与叶绿体超微结构的影响

以欧美107杨(Populus×euramericana ‘Neva',Wt)和转拟南芥液泡膜Na~+/H~+逆向转运蛋白基因AtNHX1的欧美107杨新品系(Tr) 幼苗为材料,研究了高低度盐胁迫对两品系幼苗光合色素含量、光合参数和叶绿体超微结构的影响,以阐明转AtNHX1基因杨树的耐盐性与其光合作用及叶绿体结构之间的关系.结果表明:(1)盐处理后,两品系叶片叶绿素含量、类胡萝卜素含量、净光合速率、蒸腾速率和气孔导度均下降,且高盐度处理下降幅度更大;同等盐度处理下,Tr品系叶片叶绿素含量、净光合速率和气孔导度的下降幅度显著低于Wt品系,且在高盐度处理间差异更大;两品系杨树叶片P_n下降的原因在低盐处理时以气孔限制为主,而在高盐下则是气孔限制和非气孔限制共同作用的结果.(2)盐胁迫对T_r 品系叶片叶绿体超微结构的影响较轻,其在高盐下仍保持了较好的内部结构;盐胁迫Wt品系叶绿体则缩皱成球形,内部结构趋向简单,以至解体,脂质球显著增多.可见,盐胁迫导致杨树叶绿体结构破坏而引起叶绿体色素含量下降,最终降低其光合作用效率;同等盐度胁迫下,转AtNHX1基因品系叶片保持了较完整的叶绿体超微结构、更高的叶绿素含量,能维持较好的光合状态,从而表现出较高的耐盐能力.     

How plants sense low oxygen

The recent identification of the oxygen-sensing mechanism in plants is a breakthrough in plant physiology. The presence of a conserved N-terminal motif on some ethylene responsive factors (ERFs), targets the protein for post-translational modifications finally leading to degradation under normoxia and thus providing a mechanism for sensing the presence of oxygen. The stabilization of the N-terminus under low oxygen activates these ERFs, which regulate low oxygen core genes that enable plants to tolerate abiotic stress such as flooding. Additional mechanisms that signal low-oxygen probably also exist, and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been observed under low oxygen, suggesting that ROS might be part of the network involved in plant acclimation. Here, we review the most recent findings related to oxygen sensing.     

Exposure of goldsinny, rock cook and corkwing wrasse to low temperature and low salinity: survival, blood physiology and seasonal variation

Wrasse used as cleaner fish with farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar can be subjected to large and rapid temperature and salinity fluctuations in late autumn and early winter, when summer-warmed surface water is affected by early snowmelt episodes. Because of their containment in sea cages, wrasse which are essentially acclimated to summer temperatures may be rapidly exposed to winter conditions. Short-term tolerance of low temperature and low salinity by three species of wrasse, goldsinny Ctenolabrus rupestris rock cook Centrolabrus exoletus corkwing Crenilabrus melops caught during the summer, and winter-caught corkwing, was investigated. A 3–day period at 30 or 32‰ salinity and temperature 8, 6 or 4° C (for summer-caught fish; 4° C only for winter-caught) was followed by a decline in salinity to 24, 16 or 8‰ over c. 36 h, followed by a further 24 h at these salinities held constant, at each of the three temperatures. Controls in 30 or 32‰ were maintained at 8, 6 or 4° C. Mortality of summer-caught corkwing and rock cook was high at 4° C, whereas the influence of salinity on mortality was small. Mortality of goldsinny was low or zero in all treatments. Surviving corkwing and rock cook after 3 days at 4° C and 32‰ salinity had elevated plasma osmolality: in summer-caught corkwing, plasma [Cl°] and [Na⁺] were high, whereas in rock cook only [Na⁺] was high. Haematocrit was low in summer-caught corkwing, high in rock cook. In survivors of all three species at the end of the experiment, values of all these parameters were comparable with those of fish at the beginning of the experiment, except that survivors at low salinity (8, 16‰) had low plasma osmolality, at all temperatures, and in surviving rock cook in these treatments haematocrit was high and plasma [Cl^?] was low. Winter-caught corkwing had higher osmolality, [Na⁺] and [Cl^?] than summer-caught corkwing; there was no difference in haematocrit. Survival of wintercaught corkwing exposed to four salinities at 4° C was much higher than that of summercaught corkwing under the same conditions. Little change in blood physiology was recorded for winter-caught corkwing, with only fish subjected to 8‰ and 4° C showing signs of osmoregulatory stress. The interspecific and seasonal differences in survival and blood physiology at low temperature and low salinity are discussed in relation to wrasse survival over winter, both in the field and in salmon farms.     

低温下的植物光抑制机理

低温是影响许多植物的产量和地理分布的一个主要环境因素。如果低温与光照交互作用,则对植物的伤害会更大。本文论述了低温对植物伤害的原初反应,例如低温对膜的伤害、低温对两个光系统和卡尔文循环中某些酶类的影响,并讨论了植物体内的冷敏感组分以及提高植物防御低温光抑制能力的途径。

Mechanism of bacterial adaptation to low temperature

Survival of bacteria at low temperatures provokes scientific interest because of several reasons. Investigations in this area promise insight into one of the mysteries of life science —namely, how the machinery of life operates at extreme environments. Knowledge obtained from these studies is likely to be useful in controlling pathogenic bacteria, which survive and thrive in cold-stored food materials. The outcome of these studies may also help us to explore the possibilities of existence of life in distant frozen planets and their satellites.

A low molecular weight DNA polymerase from wheat embryos

The study of plant DNA polymerases lags far behind that concerning their animal or yeast counterpart. In this work we describe the first extensive purification to apparent homogeneity, as well as a detailed biochemical and immunological characterization, of a low molecular weight DNA polymerase (DNA polymerase C_I) purified from wheat embryos. The monomeric enzyme is a basic protein having a molecular weight of 52 kDa. Polyclonal antibodies raised in rabbits against DNA polymerase C_I did not inhibit animal DNA polymerases and or wheat DNA polymerase A, whereas wheat DNA polymerases C_II and B were much less affected than the C_I enzyme. Several properties of enzyme C_I were studied. Some known inhibitors of DNA polymerase activity including aphidicolin, phosphonoacetic acid and heparin, did not affect DNA polymerase C_I while the activity of this enzyme was strongly inhibited by ddTTP and N-ethylmaleimide. The polyamine spermine decreased markedly the enzyme activity, while spermidine produced a strong stimulation at the same concentrations that spermine inhibited the enzyme. The best template for this enzyme is poly dA-oligo dT, although polymerase C_I can recognize significantly some synthetic polyribonucleotide templates (poly rC-oligo dG, poly rA-oligo dT) but only at a given protein/template primer ratio. The enzyme is blocked at the amino terminus, thus preventing the automatic sequencing of the protein. The amino acid analysis showed a striking similarity with the animal low molecular weight DNA polymerase . The latter observation, as well as the effect of inhibitors (except N-ethylmaleimide which does not inhibit the animal polymerase) indicate that the DNA polymerase described in this work is a plant DNA polymerase very similar to the low molecular weight animal DNA polymerase , an enzyme believed to be involved in nuclear DNA repair.

Monoacylglycerol accumulation in low and high density lipoproteins during the hydrolysis of very low density lipoprotein triacylglycerol by lipoprotein lipase.

We have demonstrated that low and high density lipoproteins from monkey plasma are capable of accepting and accumulating monoacylglycerol that is formed by the action of lipoprotein lipase on monkey lymph very low density lipoproteins. Furthermore, the monoacylglycerol that accumulates in both low and high density lipoproteins is not susceptible to further hydrolysis by lipoprotein lipase but is readily degraded by the monoacylglycerol acyltransferase of monkey liver plasma membranes. These observations suggest a new mechanism for monoacylglycerol transfer from triacylglycerol rich lipoproteins to other lipoproteins. In addition, the finding that monoacylglycerol bound to low and high density lipoprotein is degraded by the liver enzyme but not lipoprotein lipase lends support to the hypothesis that there are distinct and consecutive extrahepatic and hepatic stages in the metabolism of triacylglycerol in plasma lipoproteins.
