在温室条件下,研究叔胺类活性物质DCPTA和DTA-6喷施处理后对大豆和玉米苗期叶片内源激素与氧自由基代谢的影响.实验结果表明:(1)DCPTA和DTA-6处理使玉米和大豆叶片IAA、GA和ZR含量增加,ABA含量降低,提高了叶片中IAA/ABA、GA/ABA、ZR/ABA之比.(2)DCPTA和DTA-6处理提高了玉米和大豆叶片SOD和POD活性,降低了MDA含量.(3)同一浓度DCPTA和DTA-6处理玉米和大豆后,叶片中IAA、GA、ZR的含量以及SOD、POD活性呈现先增后降的趋势,ABA的含量呈现一直上升的趋势,叶片中IAA、GA含量以及SOD、POD活性在第12天达到最大,叶片中ZR的含量在第9天达到最大.同一浓度DCPTA和DTA-6处理玉米和大豆后,MDA含量呈现先降后增的趋势,叶片中MDA含量在第12天最小.     

低温条件下拔节期小麦叶片内源激素含量和抗氧化酶活性的变化

以扬麦16和徐麦30为试验材料,利用人工气候室模拟低温逆境,研究拔节期-3 ℃和-5 ℃低温胁迫对小麦植株受冻率、叶片内源激素含量和抗氧化酶活性的影响.结果表明： 随着处理温度的降低、胁迫时间的延长,小麦植株冻害等级与冻害指数增加,-5 ℃处理72 h两品种五级冻害率均为100%.低温处理结束当天,小麦叶片中内源激素脱落酸（ABA）、玉米素核苷（ZR）含量、抗氧化酶超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、过氧化物酶（POD）、过氧化氢酶（CAT）活性随胁迫程度加重呈先升高后降低的趋势;处理结束后3 d,ABA、ZR含量及抗氧化酶活性较处理结束当天升高;至处理结束后6 d,与自然生长的对照处理接近.低温胁迫叶片中赤霉素（GA₃）含量下降,处理结束后3和6 d,扬麦16叶片中GA₃含量呈上升趋势,徐麦30则表现为先升高后下降.-5 ℃ 72 h重度胁迫处理叶片中ABA、ZR、GA₃含量和SOD、POD、CAT活性均较对照显著下降.相关分析表明,较高的ABA、ZR含量、SOD、POD、CAT活性以及较低的GA₃含量可减缓低温胁迫对小麦植株的伤害.     

脱落酸对甜椒幼苗抗寒性的诱导效应及其机理研究

以砂培甜椒幼苗为材料,先用不同浓度脱落酸(ABA)进行灌根处理,再分两组分别于常温(25℃～30℃)生长7 d(常温苗)或低温驯化(10℃～15℃)30 d(驯化苗)之后进行低温胁迫(5℃)处理,分析幼苗的生长状况及其细胞质膜伤害、渗透调节物质、活性氧清除系统、内源激素的变化特征,以探讨脱落酸对甜椒抗寒性的诱导效应及机理.结果显示,(1)各浓度ABA对甜椒常温苗和驯化苗的株高、茎重均无显著影响,但显著促进驯化苗的侧根生长,在低温胁迫下,显著降低驯化苗叶片的呼吸速率;(2)常温苗的相对电导率仅在10 mg/L ABA处理中比对照显著降低,而驯化苗在各处理浓度下均显著降低,MDA含量表现出与此类似的变化;(3)叶片脯氨酸、可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白、钾离子等渗透调节物质含量在各浓度ABA处理常温苗和驯化苗中均有所增加,但仅脯氨酸含量的增加达到显著水平.(4)各浓度ABA处理都一定程度上提高了常温苗的SOD活性,显著降低了常温苗的CAT和POD活性,H2O2积累量均显著降低,但对于驯化苗,1.0 mg/L和10 mg/L ABA处理却显著降低其SOD活性,POD和CAT活性无显著差异,H2O2积累量也无显著变化.(5)茎尖的ZR、JA-Me含量及IAA/ZR、均与对照无显著差异,但IAA、ABA含量、ABA/ZR比值明显提高,其中1.0和10 mg/L处理的内源ABA含量以及10 mg/L处理的ABA/ZR比值显著高于对照.研究表明,脱落酸能通过降低甜椒幼苗呼吸速率,提高叶片脯氨酸、可溶性糖、钾离子等渗透调节物质以及ABA的积累来诱导增强甜椒幼苗的抗寒性,减少活性氧自由基的产生和累积量,从而减轻低温胁迫造成的伤害,且低温驯化条件下比常温下效果更加明显.     

施氮量对花铃期短期渍水棉花叶片抗氧化酶活性和内源激素含量的影响

于2005-2006年在江苏南京（32°02′ N,118°50′ E）南京农业大学卫岗试验站进行盆栽试验,设置正常灌水和棉花花铃期短期渍水处理（渍水8 d,恢复15 d）,每个水分处理设置3个施氮水平（0、240、480 kg N·hm^-2）,研究施氮量对渍水棉花叶片抗氧化酶活性和内源激素含量的影响.结果表明：在渍水结束时,与正常灌水相比,渍水棉花叶片可溶性蛋白含量、超氧化物歧化酶和过氧化氢酶活性降低,过氧化物酶活性升高,丙二醛（MDA）含量升高;与此同时,内源激素含量发生变化,脱落酸（ABA）含量升高,玉米素核苷（ZR）、赤霉素（GA）、生长素（IAA）含量及ZR/ABA、GA/ABA、IAA/ABA降低;其中以240 kg N·hm^-2渍水棉花MDA和ABA含量最低,而ZR、GA和IAA含量及ZR/ABA、GA/ABA和IAA/ABA最高,净光合速率最高.到停止渍水15 d时,渍水棉花叶片的抗氧化酶活性、MDA含量、内源激素含量与正常灌水处理的差异较小;施氮可提高渍水处理棉花叶片抗氧化酶活性,降低MDA含量,使ABA水平降低,ZR、GA、IAA水平及ZR/ABA、GA/ABA、IAA/ABA升高.本试验中,渍水条件下以240 kg N·hm^-2处理的效果最好,生物量和籽棉产量最高.     

锌钼营养对苦瓜产量、叶片多胺、激素含量与活性氧代谢的影响

苦瓜(株洲长白Momordica charantia cv．Zhuzhou Changbai)叶片喷施硫酸锌和钼酸钠均可显著增加苦瓜产量,提高叶片多胺(PAs)、抗坏血酸(ASA)、吲哚乙酸(IAA)、赤霉素(GA3)含量以及超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)的活性,减少脱落酸(ABA)、丙二醛(MDA)含量和自动氧化速率(AOR),从而抑制膜脂过氧化,延缓叶片衰老。苦瓜产量与叶片IAA、GA3、PAs、SOD、POD、CAT呈极显著正相关,而与MDA、AOR、ABA呈极显著负相关,叶片MDA含量与ABA、AOR呈极显著正相关,而与PAs、IAA、GA3、SOD、POD、CAT呈显著负相关。     

2种杨树光合色素和抗氧化系统对UV-B与NaCl胁迫的响应

以胡杨和俄罗斯杨(黑杨杂交种)为材料,通过设置增强UV-B辐射、NaCl胁迫(100mmol/L NaCl)、复合胁迫(增强UV-B辐射+100mmol/L NaCl)及对照(不额外施加NaCl和UV-B)4组处理,研究2种杨树对UV-B辐射、NaCl胁迫及其复合胁迫的生理响应及其种间差异。结果显示:(1)增强UV-B辐射、NaCl胁迫及其复合胁迫下,2种杨树的叶绿素含量降低,叶绿素a/b比值减小,类胡萝卜素含量升高;叶片中的膜脂过氧化产物(MDA)和H2O2含量均显著升高;但在复合胁迫下,俄罗斯杨MDA含量要明显低于各单一胁迫处理,而胡杨MDA含量和2种杨树H2O2含量均介于2种单一胁迫处理之间。(2)在3种不同胁迫条件下,俄罗斯杨和胡杨叶片中过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性比对照显著升高,且POD活性在复合胁迫下最高。(3)2种杨树叶片中渗透调节物质(脯氨酸、甜菜碱、可溶性蛋白)含量在各胁迫条件下均比对照明显升高,且脯氨酸和可溶性蛋白含量在复合胁迫下最高;胡杨甜菜碱含量在3种胁迫条件下的升高幅度均远大于俄罗斯杨,而俄罗斯杨可溶性蛋白含量升高的幅度在增强UV-B辐射和复合胁迫下却明显高于胡杨。研究表明,增强UV-B辐射、NaCl胁迫及其复合处理对2种杨树生长均造成不同程度的胁迫伤害,但2种杨树在复合胁迫下表现出的抗氧化保护能力比在2种单一胁迫下更强,因而复合胁迫对2种杨树的伤害更小,UV-B辐射可能与NaCl胁迫相互拮抗最终减缓了对植物的伤害。     

镉胁迫对烟草根抗氧化能力和激素含量的影响

采用水培试验,研究了镉胁迫对烟草(Nicotiana tabacum)根内的超氧阴离子含量、可溶性蛋白质含量、抗氧化系统SOD、POD、CAT、APX、GR活性、膜质过氧化水平及激素IAA、ABA、GA3、ZR含量的影响。结果显示烟草根中的超氧阴离子含量随着镉浓度增大而升高;镉浓度为5mg/L时,可溶性蛋白质含量增加,但随着镉浓度增加,可溶性蛋白质含量急剧下降;SOD、CAT、APX活性在镉浓度为5mg/L时上升,但随着镉浓度升高其活性下降;POD,GR活性在镉浓度为5-25mg/L时上升,在镉浓度为50mg/L时下降,但仍高于对照;MDA含量随着镉浓度增加而升高;IAA氧化酶活性在镉浓度5mg/L时下降,但随着镉浓度的升高而降低;IAA含量在镉浓度为5mg/L时上升,但随着镉浓度增加,IAA氧化酶活性升高,导致IAA含量逐渐下降;镉胁迫对烟草根中ABA合成表现为促进作用;GA3含量在镉浓度为5mg/L时上升,但随着镉浓度的增加其含量逐渐下降;ZR含量在镉胁迫下迅速减少。     

不同成花量金花茶花果期果枝叶内源激素的变化

该研究运用酶联免疫法(ELISA)对不同成花量(花多、花少、无花)金花茶花果期果枝叶内源激素吲哚乙酸(IAA)、赤霉素(GA_3)、玉米素核苷(ZR)、脱落酸(ABA)含量进行了测定。结果表明:始花期金花茶果枝叶内源IAA先升高后降低,花多株含量低于花少株;有花株ZR含量高于无花株;GA_3含量呈现整体上升趋势,有花株高于无花株;ABA含量先降低后升高,无花株高于花多株。盛花期IAA、GA_3、ABA含量整体下降,ZR含量先降低后升高,花多株叶内源IAA、ZR、GA_3含量高于花少株或无花株,ABA含量低于花少株或无花株。花期内,有花株果枝叶IAA/ZR、IAA/ABA、ZR/ABA、GA_3/ABA比值均高于无花株,而(IAA+GA_3)/ZR比值低于无花株,说明金花茶花果的发育不仅和单个激素的含量有关,还和激素平衡有关。秋梢期营养生长旺盛时无花株IAA/ZR比值较大,花果期生殖生长强烈时比值较小,(IAA+GA_3)/ZR与之相反。这说明花蕾期高水平的内源IAA、ZR和ABA及低水平的内源GA_3有利于金花茶开花;末花期高含量的IAA、ZR和低含量的GA_3、ABA可减少落花落果,提高坐果率,有利于果实快速生长;果实生长后期高含量的ABA有利于果实成熟。该研究结果为生产上应用生长调节剂调控金花茶成花、坐果提供了理论依据。     

辣椒胞质雄性不育系和保持系内源激素含量的比较

以2个辣椒品系(199807、199803)的胞质雄性不育系和相应保持系为实验材料,采用酶联免疫吸附法(ELISA)测定IAA、(Z ZR)、GA3和ABA等内源激素含量,用气相色谱分析仪测定乙烯(ETH)释放量,对辣椒胞质雄性不育系和相应保持系内源激素含量变化规律进行研究.实验结果表明:在四分小孢子之前,花药中的IAA含量不育系显著高于保持系,在四分小孢子时期花药和花蕾中的IAA含量出现转折,到花粉粒成熟期的花蕾和花药以及开花期叶片中的IAA含量均是不育系显著低于保持系;小孢子各发育时期花药以及花期叶片中GA3含量均是不育系高于保持系,但花粉粒成熟期化蕾中GA3含量为不育系低于保持系;小孢子不同发育时期的花药以及花期叶片中ABA含量始终足不育系显著高于保持系,而花粉粒成熟期花蕾中ABA含量不育系与保持系没有显著差异;花粉粒成熟期的花蕾和花期叶片中ETH释放量表现为不育系显著高于保持系.同时,花粉粒成熟期的花蕾、花药和叶片中IAA/ABA、(Z ZR)/ABA、GA3/ABA、IAA/GA3、(Z ZR)/GA3等5个激素的比值均有不育系低于保持系的趋势.本实验结果说明辣椒的育性表现与花器和叶片等组织中内源激素的含量变化有关,花药和花期叶片中IAA亏缺、GA3和ABA增加以及化蕾和叶片中ETH过度产生,都有可能导致辣椒雄性不育.     

镉和增强紫外线-B辐射复合作用对大豆生长的影响

研究了Cd^2+和增强紫外线-B(UV-B)辐射以及二者复合胁迫(Cd+UV-B)对大豆生长、光合作用、抗氧化酶活性和吲哚乙酸(IAA)氧化酶活性的影响,结果表明,UV-B辐射对大豆生长较CA^2+有更明显的抑制作用,主要是降低了光合作用,生物量减小;抑制节间的分化和伸长,节间减少,株高降低。UV-B辐射对POD、SOD活性有显著诱导作用,而Cd^2+明显颉颃UV-B对POD活性的诱导并抑制IAA氧化酶活性．在复合作用下,植物体内IAA氧化酶和POD活性较UV-B单独作用下显著降低,这两种酶活性降低会引起植物体内IAA含量升高,同时光合作用略有升高,这是株高和生物量较UV-B作用下有所增加的重要原因,复合胁迫还增强了对根伸长生长的抑制作用,根长度较对照显著降低(P<0．05)。IAA氧化酶和POD活性变化以及光合强度变化与大豆株高和生物量变化密切相关,这也是复合胁迫影响大豆生长状况的重要因素。     

不同成花量金花茶花果期果枝叶内源激素的变化

该研究采用ISSR分子标记,对黄枝油杉7个自然种群的遗传多样性进行了分析。结果表明：用12条ISSR引物对218个黄枝油杉个体进行扩增,共扩增出125个位点。在物种水平上,多态性位点百分数( PPL)为100.00％,Shannon信息多样性指数( I)为0.4177,Nei’ s基因多样性指数( H)为0.2666;在种群水平上,多态性位点百分数(PPL)在71.20％~92.00％之间,平均值为80.69％,Shannon信息多样性指数(I)在0.3273~0.3886之间,平均值为0.3548,Nei’ s基因多样性指数( H)在0.2139~0.2478之间,平均值为0.2291。这说明黄枝油杉在物种水平和种群水平上均显示出较高的遗传多样性。 Nei’ s遗传多样性分析( Gst＝0.1433)和AMOVA分析(Φst＝17.91％)表明,黄枝油杉的遗传变异主要存在于种群内,种群间的遗传分化程度较低,种群间保持一定的基因交流( Nm＝2.9890>1)。 Mantel分析显示,黄枝油杉种群间的遗传距离和地理距离之间不存在显著的相关关系( r＝0.4567, P＝0.0610>0.05)。     

Interactive effects of α-NAA and UV-B radiation on the endogenous hormone contents and growth of Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim seedlings

The impact of UV-B radiation on endogenous hormones in plants has recently drawn attention from researchers. The mechanism for reduced stem elongation by UV-B might be due to changes in the phytohormone levels, especially IAA, which plays a role in stem elongation. In this study, effects of UV-B radiation on Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim (T. kirilowii) seedlings in greenhouse-grown plants were investigated. The results indicated that: (1) In comparison to controls, exposure to 0.029 Jm^?2 s^?1. UV-B radiation led to accumulation of endogenous abscisic acid (ABA) and zeatinriboside (ZR) in the plant contents, and decreased contents of endogenous indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and gibberellic acid (GA_1/3). Exposure to UV-B radiation reduced the height and leaf area of plants. As a result, total biomass (plant dry weight) was lower. (2) In comparison to controls, addition of 2 mg l^?1 α-naphthaleneacetic acid (α-NAA) slightly increased the contents of IAA, GA_1/3 and ZR, and decreased the content of ABA in leaves. This addition of α-NAA significantly increased plant height and leaf area, but only slightly increased total biomass. (3) Addition of α-NAA to UV-B-exposed plants: increased the content of endogenous IAA, GA_1/3 and ZR; decreased accumulation of endogenous ABA; and increased plant height and leaf area in comparison to plants that only were exposed to UV-B. Moreover, total biomass increased slightly. This suggests that addition of α-NAA may compensate to a certain extent for the lack of IAA resulting from UV-B radiation; it also increases the content of GA_1/3 and ZR, decreases the accumulation of ABA, and promotes the growth of plants.     

Effects of elevated carbon dioxide and/or ozone on endogenous plant hormones in the leaves of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Ginkgo biloba</Emphasis>

Four-year-old Gingko (Ginkgo biloba L.) trees were exposed to ambient and elevated concentrations of CO₂ and O₃, and their combination for 1 year, using open-top chambers in Shenyang, China in 2006. Growth parameters and endogenous plant hormones were measured simultaneously over the experiment period. Elevated CO₂ increased leaf area and leaf dry weight but had no effect on shoot length, increased indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), gibberellins A₃ (GA₃), zeatin riboside (ZR), dihydrozeatin (DHZR) and isopentenyl-adenosine (iPA) content but decreased abscisic acid (ABA) content. Elevated O₃ significantly decreased leaf area, leaf dry weight, shoot length, and decreased IAA, GA₃, ZR content but increased ABA content and had a little effect on iPA, DHZR content. Elevated CO₂ + O₃ decreased IAA, iPA and DHZR content while increased ABA and GA₃ content in the early stage of the exposure and then decreased in the late stage. The evidence from this study indicates that elevated CO₂ ameliorated the effects of elevated ozone on tree growth, and elevated CO₂ may have a largely positive impact on forest tree growth while elevated O₃ will likely have a negative impact.     

Reduced abscisic acid content is responsible for enhanced sucrose accumulation by potassium nutrition in vegetable soybean seeds

In order to understand the physiological mechanism of potassium (K) application in enhancing sugar content of vegetable soybean seeds, pot experiments were conducted in 2014 and 2015 with two vegetable soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) cultivars (c.v. Zhongkemaodou 1 and c.v. 121) under normal rate of nitrogen and phosphorus application. Three potassium (K) fertilization treatments were imposed: No K application (K0), 120 kg K₂SO₄ ha^?1 at seeding (K1), and 120 kg K₂SO₄ ha^?1 at seedling?+?1% K₂SO₄ foliar application at flowering (K2). Contents of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), gibberellins (GA), cytokinins (ZR) and abscisic acid (ABA) in seeds were determined from 4 to 8 weeks after flowering. K fertilization increased the contents of IAA, GA, ZR, soluble sugar, sucrose and fresh pod yield, but reduced ABA content consistently. When the contents of soluble sugar and sucrose reached the highest level at 7 weeks after flowering for the 2 cultivars, the contents of IAA、GA、ZR all reached the lowest level in general. The content of ABA in seed was negatively correlated with the sucrose content (P?<?0.01, r = ?0.749**, ?0.768** in 2014 and ?0.535**, ?0.791** in 2015 for c.v.121 and c.v. Zhongkemaodou 1 respectively). The changes in ratio of the ABA to (IAA?+?GA?+?ZR) from 4 to 8 weeks after flowering affected by K application were coincident to the changes of sucrose accumulation. The reduced ratio of ABA/(IAA?+?GA?+?ZR) affected by K nutrition particularly reduced abscisic acid content plays a critical role in enhancing sucrose content, which might be a partial mechanism involved in K nutrition to improve the quality of vegetable soybean.     

中国沙棘克隆生长对灌水强度的响应规律及其激素调控机制

关于中国沙棘克隆生长调节研究目前局限于外在机制,旨在探讨其克隆生长对灌水强度的响应规律及其激素调控的内在机制。结果表明:随着灌水强度的增大,分株生长、克隆繁殖、克隆扩散能力先升后降,IAA(吲哚-3-乙酸)、ZR(玉米素核苷)、GA_3(赤霉酸)含量及其与ABA(脱落酸)的比值先升后降而ABA含量先降后升。同时,分株生长、克隆繁殖、克隆扩散能力与IAA、ZR、GA_3含量以及IAA/ABA、ZR/ABA、GA_3/ABA呈极显著或显著正相关,与ABA含量呈极显著负相关。灌水强度过小或过大,IAA、ZR、GA_3含量以及IAA/ABA、ZR/ABA、GA_3/ABA低而ABA含量高,克隆生长潜力受到抑制,种群以分株小、数量少(分布稀疏)、扩散(水平根延伸和分枝)能力弱为特征,克隆生长格局倾向于"游击型"、种群早衰概率高;灌水强度适宜,IAA、ZR、GA_3含量以及IAA/ABA、ZR/ABA、GA_3/ABA高而ABA含量低,克隆生长潜力得以充分发挥,种群以分株大、数量多(分布密集)、扩散能力强为特征,克隆生长格局倾向于"聚集型"、种群稳定性高。随着灌水强度过小-适宜-过大的连续变化,中国沙棘通过改变激素状况调控克隆生长,从而形成与灌水强度相适应的克隆生长格局连续体"游击型-聚集型-游击型",种群稳定性呈"低-高-低"的连续变化过程。由此可见:灌水强度诱导内源激素发生改变,激素特征调控克隆生长格局,克隆生长格局决定种群稳定性。     

小麦‘兰考矮早八’茎蘖分蘖节的内源激素差异及其密度调控效应

选用分蘖成穗率低的大穗型品种‘兰考矮早八’,研究主茎和两分蘖间分蘖节部位的激素差异与分蘖成穗的关系及其密度调控效应。结果表明,在分蘖两极分化过程中,不同茎蘖间分蘖节中IAA和zR含量及其IAA／ABA和z刚ABA比值为主茎〉分蘖Ⅰ〉分蘖Ⅱ,而ABA含量为分蘖Ⅱ〉分蘖Ⅰ〉主茎。ZR含量、ABA含量及其IAA／ABA和zR／ABA比值与分蘖成穗关系密切,较高的zR含量、IAA／ABA和zR／ABA比值以及较低削BA含量有利于分蘖成穗,反之则将导致分蘖衰亡。随种植密度增加和蘖位升高,激素含量及其平衡在分蘖与主茎间差距加大,分蘖弱势程度更突出,进而导致分蘖衰亡,且分蘖衰亡时间提前。     

大气二氧化碳浓度升高对银杏叶片内源激素的影响

采用开顶箱系统,研究了银杏叶片内源激素脱落酸(ABA)、吲哚乙酸(IAA)、玉米素核苷(ZR)和赤霉素(GA₃)对大气CO₂浓度升高(环境CO₂浓度+350 μmol·mol^-1,EC)的响应.结果表明,EC处理能使ABA含量降低,与对照(CK)相比, ABA含量最大降低63.0%(处理后120 d).EC处理使叶片IAA和ZR含量增加,而且随着处理时间的延长,差异均达显著水平;IAA含量在处理后100 d为CK的2倍,ZR含量在处理后80 d时为CK的2.5倍.EC处理使叶片GA₃峰值提前出现. (IAA+GA₃+ZR)/ABA比值随着银杏的生长逐渐降低,在处理后期(处理后40～120 d)明显高于CK,表明大气CO₂浓度升高可促进银杏的生长发育.     

Differences in growth and physiological traits of Populus cathayana populations as affected by enhanced UV-B radiation and exogenous ABA

During one growing season, the effects of enhanced ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation, exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) and their combination on biomass accumulation, gas exchange, endogenous ABA, the concentration of UV-absorbing compounds, antioxidant system and on the carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) content and C/N ratio were investigated in two contrasting Populus cathayana Rehd. populations, originating from high and low altitudes in south-west China. Exogenous ABA was sprayed to the leaves, and enhanced UV-B treatments were applied using a square-wave system to expose the seedlings to ambient (1×) or twice ambient (2×) doses of biologically effective UV-B radiation (UV-B_BE). Enhanced UV-B radiation significantly decreased height, basal diameter, total leaf area, total biomass, net CO₂ assimilation rate (A), stomatal conductance (g_s), transpiration rate (E) and carbon (C) content in leaves, and significantly increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and guaiacol peroxidase (GPx), and the contents of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and malonaldehyde (MDA), as well as the accumulation of UV-absorbing compounds and endogenous ABA concentrations among different organs in both populations. In contrast, exogenous ABA induced a significant decrease in A and significant increases in the activities of SOD and GPx, in the content of H₂O₂ and MDA, and in the endogenous ABA concentrations. Compared with the low altitude population, the high altitude population was more tolerant to enhanced UV-B and exogenous ABA. Significant interactions between UV-B and ABA were observed in A, E, and in the activities of SOD and GPx, as well as in endogenous ABA in the leaves and roots of both populations. Across all treatments, the C and N contents of leaves were strongly correlated with their contents in stems and roots. Additionally, the N content of leaves and stems were significantly correlated with the C content of stems.     

Intraspecific variation in sensitivity to ultraviolet-B radiation in endogenous hormones and photosynthetic characteristics of 10 wheat cultivars grown under field conditions

Field studies were conducted to determine the potential of altering endogenous hormones and photosynthetic characteristics and intraspecific variation in sensitivity of 10 wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivars (four tolerant, two middle sensitive and four sensitive) to enhanced ultraviolet-B (UV-B, 280–315 nm) radiation under field conditions. The supplemental UV-B radiation was 5.00 kJ m⁻², simulating a depletion of 20% stratospheric ozone. Responses were cultivar-specific. Out of the 10 tested wheat cultivars, six showed significant decrease in IAA content. UV-B radiation significantly increased ZR content in two wheat cultivars and significantly decreased in five cultivars. ABA content of three wheat cultivars was increased significantly, while that of five cultivars was decreased significantly. UV-B radiation significantly increased the stomatal conductance of three cultivars, and significantly decreased that of four cultivars. Intercellular CO₂ concentrations were significantly increased in five cultivars and significantly decreased in one cultivar (Mianyang 20). Transpiration rate of three cultivars significantly increased, while that of three cultivars significantly decreased. UV-B radiation significantly decreased the net photosynthetic rate of six cultivars. Intraspecific differences were found for the different measured parameters. For seven measured parameters, UV-B radiation had significant effects on five wheat cultivars, while no effect on the others. Significant correlations were observed between net photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance, intercellular CO₂ concentrations and transpiration rate in eight cultivars. UV-B radiation might change stomatal conductance, intercellular CO₂ concentrations and transpiration rate, thus resulting in changes in net photosynthetic rate.
