镉胁迫对马蔺根系形态及部分生理指标的影响

以野生马蔺种子培育的实生苗为试验材料,采用水培法研究不同质量浓度镉(0、10、25、50、100、150 mg·L^-1)对马蔺幼苗生长、根系形态及部分生理指标的影响,分析镉胁迫下马蔺根系形态和生理指标的变化特征,以探讨马蔺的耐镉能力及耐镉机制。结果表明：(1)与对照相比,低浓度镉(10~25 mg·L^-1)促进了马蔺株高、地上部干重、根干重、总根长、根表面积、根体积和根系活力的增加,中高浓度镉(50~150 mg·L^-1)抑制根系生长,其株高、根干重、总根长等低于对照,根表面积、根体积和根系活力显著低于对照。(2)随镉浓度增加,马蔺叶片和根系中相对电导率、丙二醛(MDA)含量、过氧化物酶(POD)活性、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性和脯氨酸(Pro)含量增加,但可溶性蛋白含量(SP)则先升高后降低;根系的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性随镉浓度增加先升高后降低,而叶片SOD活性则持续增加。(3)马蔺地上部和地下部镉含量随镉离子浓度升高而增加,根系和地上部镉含量分别达到829.39~8 944.54 和200.60~519.76 mg·kg^-1,转移系数为0.06~0.32(<1.0),大多数镉离子被保留在根中,只有少量被转移到地上部。研究发现,在镉胁迫条件下,马蔺幼苗可能是通过根系对镉离子的积累,减少镉离子从根部到地上部的转移,并通过提高抗氧化酶活性、保持渗透平衡和清除过量自由基,从而提高其对镉的耐受性。     

不同菊花品种根系、地上部和叶片相关指标分析及抗逆性评价

采用盆栽法对6个菊花(Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.)品种幼苗的根系和地上部相关指标及叶片光合和气体交换参数进行了比较和相关性分析;并基于叶片相对含水量、相对电导率、丙二醛含量和可溶性糖含量4个生理生化指标,采用隶属函数法对不同菊花品种幼苗的抗旱性和耐热性进行了评价.结果表明:不同菊花品种间幼苗的根系和地上部相关指标及叶片光合和气体交换参数存在一定差异.相关性分析结果表明:根系的大多数相关指标与株高呈显著(P<0.05)或极显著(P<0.01)正相关,但与茎粗和单株叶数却没有显著相关性;并且,单株的根体积、根鲜质量和干质量与单株地上部鲜质量呈极显著正相关(相关系数分别为0.598、0.642和0.599),与单株地上部干质量呈极显著或显著正相关(相关系数分别为0.736、0.606和0.553).主根长与净光合速率和蒸腾速率,平均根长与水分利用效率及单株根鲜质量与蒸腾速率呈显著正相关(相关系数分别为0.475、0.517、0.570和0.477);单株根干质量与蒸腾速率及根系活力与净光合速率和水分利用效率呈极显著正相关(相关系数分别为0.641、0.877和0.814).抗逆性评价结果表明:品种'南农红霞'('Nannong Hongxia')、'大白托桂'('Qx073')和'天使'('Angelina')的平均隶属函数值分别为0.93、0.93和0.72,据此判断这3个菊花品种的抗旱性最强;品种'馒头菊'('Cayman')和'南农红霞'的平均隶属函数值分别为0.82和0.70,据此判断这2个菊花品种的耐热性最强.综上所述,不同菊花品种幼苗的根系相关指标差异明显,并且根系生长状况能够影响地上部的生长和发育,品种'南农红霞'的抗旱性和耐热性均很强,具有较高的抗性育种价值.

丛枝菌根真菌对砷胁迫下棉花根系形态和生理特征的影响

以棉花品种‘大铃棉69号’为材料,通过室内盆栽试验,将两种丛枝菌根真菌根——内根孢囊霉(Rhizophagus intraradices,RI)和摩西斗管囊霉(Funneliformis mosseae,FM)分别接种棉花根部,分析不同土壤砷浓度(0、100、200 mg/kg)条件下丛枝菌根真菌对棉花生长、根系特征、细胞膜透性、抗氧化酶活性以及砷在棉花体内积累和转移的影响,为丛枝菌根真菌在土壤砷污染修复中的合理应用提供理论支撑。结果表明:(1)随着砷胁迫的加重,棉花生长、根系发育、根系活力、抗氧化酶系统(SOD、POD、CAT)和渗透调节系统(可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白、脯氨酸)均受到明显抑制。(2)接种RI和FM显著提高了棉花的株高、生物量、根冠比,根系活力;降低了棉花地上和地下部的砷含量和砷转移系数;提高了棉花总根长、根表面积、根体积、根尖数、根叉数等根系形态指标,并降低其0～0.2 mm径级的根长百分比,增加其0.5～1.0 mm和1.0 mm径级的根长百分比;促使棉花叶和根中可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白、脯氨酸等渗透调节物质含量和SOD、POD、CAT等抗氧化酶活性不同程度升高,并使相对电导率、MDA含量降低;其中,摩西斗管囊霉接种效果优于根内根孢囊霉。研究发现,在土壤砷胁迫条件下,接种丛枝菌根真菌可促进棉花生长和根系发育,降低棉花体内砷浓度并抑制其向地上转移,同时激活抗氧化系统和渗透调节系统来减轻砷对棉花的毒害作用,增强棉花对土壤砷胁迫的耐受能力,且摩西斗管囊霉接种效果更佳。     

水杨酸对锌胁迫下小麦幼苗生长抑制的缓解效应

以小麦品种‘新麦18’为材料,采用室内水培实验研究了不同浓度水杨酸(SA)处理对300 mg.L-1锌胁迫下小麦种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响。结果表明:在Zn2+胁迫下,小麦种子的发芽势和发芽率、幼苗根长、芽长以及幼苗叶片的可溶性蛋白含量、根系活力显著降低,而脯氨酸和丙二醛(MDA)含量显著增加(P<0.05);外施SA显著提高了Zn2+胁迫下小麦种子的发芽势和发芽率,同时也使Zn2+胁迫7 d后的小麦幼苗的根长、芽长,幼苗叶片的脯氨酸和可溶性蛋白含量以及根系活力显著升高,膜脂过氧化产物MDA含量却显著降低(P<0.05)。由此可见,外施SA可通过提高小麦幼苗根长和芽长来增加幼苗根系活力,通过提高小麦幼苗可溶性蛋白含量、脯氨酸含量来维持细胞膜的稳定性,降低膜脂过氧化伤害程度,从而缓解了Zn2+胁迫对幼苗生长的抑制,并以14 mg.L-1外源水杨酸缓解效果最好。     

低温胁迫下玉米幼苗根系受外源海藻糖调控的生理表现

为了探究海藻糖对增强玉米幼苗抗低温能力的生理表现,以玉米"先玉335"为试验材料,采用盆栽试验,分析12 mmol·L-1外源海藻糖对低温胁迫不同时间(0、2、4、6和8d)下玉米幼苗根系生物量、抗氧化酶活性及渗透调节物质的影响。结果表明:低温胁迫显著抑制玉米幼苗根系生长及干物质累积,诱导抗氧化酶活性增加,破坏细胞渗透调节水平;低温胁迫后应用外源海藻糖,玉米幼苗根系根表面积、根长及鲜干重显著增加,根系内SOD、POD和CAT活性呈现先升高后降低趋势,MDA含量及相对电导率在玉米幼苗根系内显著降低,脯氨酸、可溶性蛋白、可溶性糖含量也呈现先升高后降低趋势;在低温胁迫第6天时,T+L处理的根系根表面积、根长及鲜干重分别较CK+L增加了18.25%、4.73%、2.48%和21.43%;T+L处理后根系内SOD、POD和CAT活性分别较CK+L处理提升17.26%、23.79%和30.78%;T+L处理后根系内MDA含量和相对电导率值分别较CK+L处理降低45.13%和63.25%;T+L处理后的脯氨酸、可溶性蛋白和可溶性糖含量在低温胁迫第6天时最高,与CK+L处理相比差异显著,且分别较CK+L高出2.93、0.51和2.58倍。可见,海藻糖能够调控低温胁迫下玉米幼苗根系生理水平,提高玉米幼苗抗逆能力,促进玉米根系生长及生物量增加,海藻糖对作物生长的生理调控能力与低温存在协同作用,在低温环境下,海藻糖对作物体内抗氧化系统酶活表达及渗透物质的积累有显著提升效果。

为探讨薄壳山核桃根系水浸提液对小麦、大豆的影响,采用蒸馏水浸提法收集薄壳山核桃根系化感物质,并运用室内生物测定法检测不同浓度(0.025、0.05和0.1 g·mL~(-1))根系水浸提液对小麦、大豆种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响。结果表明:各浓度处理的根系水浸提液对小麦、大豆萌发及幼苗生长的化感抑制作用较为显著,且具有显著的浓度效应(浓度低抑制作用弱,浓度高抑制作用强);薄壳山核桃根系水浸提液对小麦、大豆种子发芽率、发芽指数、发芽势和活力指数的抑制作用分别依次为:活力指数发芽势发芽指数发芽率和活力指数发芽势发芽率发芽指数;薄壳山核桃根系水浸提液各浓度处理对小麦、大豆幼苗根长、苗高、鲜质量和干质量的化感效应均为:根长苗高鲜质量干质量,其中薄壳山核桃根系水浸提液对2种受体植物幼苗根长均有显著的抑制作用,而对幼苗干、鲜质量的影响则因受体植物种类的不同而不同;薄壳山核桃根系水浸提液对2种受体植物的综合化感效应顺序为:小麦大豆;生长7 d的幼苗体内,SOD活性降低,MDA含量、POD活性和CAT活性与对照相比均随浓度的增加而增加。综合分析认为:小麦对薄壳山核桃根系水浸提液更为敏感。     

一氧化氮(NO)对镉胁迫下小麦幼苗氧化损伤的影响

为探讨一氧化氮(NO)对重金属镉胁迫后小麦幼苗氧化损伤的影响。采用营养液水培法,以"晋麦8号"为材料,一氧化氮供体硝普钠(SNP),NO清除剂牛血红蛋白(Hb)及SNP类似物亚铁氰化钠(SF)分别处理小麦幼苗,研究NO在镉(Cd)胁迫下对小麦幼苗抗氧化系统的影响。结果显示,SNP处理可以缓解镉胁迫对幼苗生长抑制,显著增加可溶性蛋白、叶绿素和GSH含量,减少丙二醛(MDA)和过氧化氢(H2O2)的含量,并降低超氧阴离子(O2·-)产生速率、可溶性糖和脯氨酸的积累。而NO清除剂牛血红蛋白(Hb)处理使镉胁迫对小麦幼苗的毒害增强,SNP类似物亚铁氰化钠(SF)处理则没有缓解效应;进一步实验发现,SNP降低了镉胁迫下超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)等抗氧化相关酶的活性,减轻了镉胁迫的氧化损伤。NO可以通过调节抗氧化酶系统来缓解Cd对植物的毒害。

以小桐子幼苗为材料,设置不同浓度CdCl_2处理,测定Cd~(2+)胁迫对小桐子幼苗叶片中可溶性蛋白、丙二醛(MDA)含量,以及5种抗氧化酶活性和2种抗氧化剂含量的变化,探讨镉胁迫对小桐子幼苗抗氧化系统的影响。结果表明:(1)Cd~(2+)胁迫导致小桐子幼苗叶片中可溶性蛋白含量降低、MDA含量增加;(2)随着镉胁迫时间的延长,幼苗叶片中愈创木酚过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、抗坏血酸专一性过氧化酶(APX)、谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)等抗氧化酶活性表现出先升高然后降低的变化趋势;(3)幼苗叶片中还原型抗坏血酸(ASA)和还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量随着胁迫时间延长而降低,但其中氧化型抗坏血酸(DHA)和氧化型谷胱甘肽(GSSG)含量则升高。研究表明,镉胁迫初期能诱导小桐子幼苗抗氧化系统活性显著增强,提高其抗氧化能力,但随着胁迫时间的延长,致使其抗氧化酶的活性和抗氧物质含量下降,植株遭受明显氧化胁迫,幼苗生长受到镉的严重毒害。     

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.     

Entwicklungsgeschichte und Ultrastruktur von Pollenkitt und Exine bei nahe verwandten entomophilen und anemophilen Angiospermensippen derAlismataceae,Liliaceae, Juncaceae,Cyperaceae, Poaceae undAraceae

Some closely related members of the monocotyledonous familiesAlismataceae, Liliaceae, Juncaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae andAraceae with variable modes of pollination (insect- and wind-pollination) were studied in relation to the ultrastructure of pollenkitt and exine (amount, consistency and distribution of pollenkitt on the surface of pollen grains). The character syndromes of pollen cementing in entomophilous, anemophilous and intermediate (ambophilous or amphiphilous) monocotyledons are the same in principal as in dicotyledons. Comparing present with former results one can summarize: 1) The pollenkitt is always produced in the same manner by the anther tapetum in all angiosperm sub-classes. 2) The variable stickiness of entomophilous and anemophilous pollen always depends on the particular distribution and consistency of the pollenkitt, but not its amount on the pollen surface. 3) The mostly dry and powdery pollen of anemophilous plants always contains a variable amount of inactive pollenkitt in its exine cavities. 4) A step-by step change of the pollen cementing syndrome can be observed from entomophily towards anemophily. 5) From the omnipresence of pollenkitt in all wind-pollinated angiosperms studied one can conclude that the ancestors of anemophilous angiosperms probably have been zoophilous (i.e. entomophilous) throughout.
