不同营养状态下金鱼藻的生理响应

通过静态模拟实验,比较研究了不同营养水平(中营养、富营养、重富营养和Hoagland植物培养液)下培养的金鱼藻(Ceratophyllum demersum)的蛋白质、叶绿素含量,过氧化物酶(POD)及超氧化物酶(SOD)活性变化.研究发现,总N、总P的变化会影响金鱼藻的生物合成,当水环境总氮浓度低于1 mg·L^-1,总磷浓度低于0.1 mg·L^-1时,金鱼藻茎叶的叶绿素合成较低,其茎蛋白含量迅速下降.金鱼藻在富营养水平(1 mg TN·L^-1,0.1 mg TP·L^-1)下抗氧化防御酶活跃,POD、SOD活性增高.研究表明,金鱼藻较适应于富营养水环境,水体营养盐继续增加对金鱼藻有胁迫作用,过高营养盐浓度(重富营养和Hoagland 培养液)影响金鱼藻的抗逆能力.     

吲哚乙酸对铝胁迫下栝楼生理响应及DNA损伤的缓解作用

为探究IAA(吲哚乙酸)对铝胁迫下栝楼生理响应及DNA损伤的缓解,本研究以河北安国栝楼(耐铝品种)和浙江浦阳栝楼(铝敏感品种)为材料进行水培试验,研究300、800 μmol·L^-1(分别用Al₃₀₀和Al₈₀₀表示)铝环境下不同浓度IAA(0、10、25、50、75 μmol·L^-1,分别以I₀、I₁₀、I₂₅、I₅₀和I₇₅表示)对2个栝楼品种的抗氧化酶活性、丙二醛(MDA)、光合特性、根系活力、叶绿素含量和DNA损伤的影响。结果表明: 与对照相比,铝胁迫条件下,安国和浦阳品种栝楼的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性、光合作用能力、根系活力等生理指标受到不同程度的抑制,MDA含量明显升高,DNA损伤加重。铝胁迫条件下,与无IAA喷施相比,10～50 μmol·L^-1IAA作用下安国和浦阳栝楼的SOD、CAT和POD酶活性最大增幅分别为15.0%、31.2%、72.3%和13.8%、26.9%、26.4%,叶绿素含量显著增加49.9%和17.9%,MDA积累量减少39.2%和22.4%,荧光参数得到明显改善。25 μmol·L^-1IAA使安国和浦阳栝楼根系活力显著增加159.1%和90.9%,50 μmol·L^-1IAA可有效减缓2个品种栝楼根系DNA拖尾现象,尾部 DNA 百分含量与尾部距离的乘积(OTM)值最大降幅可达27.6%。10～50 μmol·L^-1 IAA能有效提升铝胁迫下栝楼的生理活性,减缓DNA损伤程度,且安国品种的耐铝胁迫能力大于浦阳品种。     

聚苯乙烯微塑料对黑藻生长及生理生化特征的影响

为探讨淡水环境中微塑料的污染对沉水植物产生的生理生化影响,选择典型沉水植物黑藻为供试材料,以粒径3 μm的聚苯乙烯微塑料颗粒(PS-MPs)为外源胁迫污染物,通过添加不同浓度的PS-MPs(5、10、30、50、100 mg·L^-1)设置不同暴露组及对照组,测定沉水植物的株高、生物量、叶绿素含量、抗氧化酶活性、光合荧光参数及荧光成像的变化特征。结果表明: 50～100 mg·L^-1PS-MPs下黑藻的株高显著下降;较低浓度下(如5 mg·L^-1)黑藻的鲜重显著升高,但随着PS-MPs暴露浓度进一步增加,黑藻鲜重降低,干重无显著变化。黑藻叶绿素总量、叶绿素a和叶绿素a/b均随PS-MPs浓度的增加呈显著下降趋势,叶绿素b无明显变化。PS-MPs处理下超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和过氧化物酶(POD)活性均随胁迫浓度的增加呈先上升后下降的趋势,叶绿素荧光参数(F_o、F_m、F_v/F_m)均呈下降趋势,而稳态下的PSⅡ反应中心关闭程度(1-Q_p-Lss)总体呈上升趋势,这可能与PS-MPs抑制黑藻PSⅡ反应中心有关。黑藻的荧光成像强度随PS-MPs浓度的增加而降低,在PS-MPs浓度为10 mg·L^-1及以下时,黑藻叶片表现出正常的光合活性;当PS-MPs为30 mg·L^-1及以上时,叶片边缘的光合强度小于茎秆及其周边,叶片呈现发黄、残叶等现象。推测黑藻基本能适应低浓度PS-MPs(0～30 mg·L^-1)的污染水域,而在PS-MPs高于30 mg·L^-1的污染水域中其生长和光合作用将受到抑制。     

苯丙烯酸对黄瓜幼苗生理特性的影响

采用基质栽培模拟实验,研究了不同浓度苯丙烯酸对黄瓜幼苗生理特性的影响.结果表明,苯丙烯酸对黄瓜幼苗的光合色素、光合速率、蒸腾速率和根系活力产生了抑制作用.当处理浓度为25μmol·L^-1时,对类胡萝卜素产生抑制作用,对叶绿素a、叶绿素b为促进作用;当浓度为50μmol·L^-1时,对光合速率、蒸腾速率和根系活力均产生显著的抑制作用(P<0.05),并随着处理浓度的增加抑制作用增强;当浓度为150μmol·L^-1时,对叶绿素a、叶绿素b产生显著抑制作用(P<0.05);随着处理浓度的增加,对黄瓜上述生理特性的抑制作用增强.低浓度苯丙烯酸(25～50μmol·L^-1)对幼苗根系活力的抑制强度不大,可在处理后期得到恢复;高浓度(100～150μmol·L^-1)处理则表现出显著的抑制作用,随着处理时间延长,抑制作用增强(P<0.05).

研究了3种重金属离子(Cu²⁺、Zn²⁺、Cd²⁺)在96 h内对凡纳滨对虾(Litopenaeus vannamei)对肝胰脏、鳃丝和血液超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活力的影响.结果表明,凡纳滨对虾SOD活力在3种重金属离子作用下随取样时间变化显著(P＜0.0),Cu²⁺在实验浓度范围内(0.1～1 mg·L^-1),肝胰脏、鳃丝和血液的SOD活力随时间延长呈一峰值变化,Zn²⁺在10 mg·L^-1时对肝胰脏表现为显著抑制作用,Cd²⁺在0. mg·L^-1时对肝胰脏和鳃丝起显著抑制作用,0.2 mg·L^-1对鳃丝SOD活力无显著变化(P＞0.0),其他浓度Zn²⁺(＜10 mg·L^-1)、Cd²⁺(＜0.2 mg·L^-1)对各组织器官SOD活力的影响随时间延长均呈现先升高后下降的趋势.3种重金属离子对凡纳滨对虾肝胰脏、鳃丝、血液SOD活力的影响呈现明显的剂量-时间效应关系.其SOD活力大小顺序为肝胰脏＞鳃丝＞血液,3种重金属离子对凡纳滨对虾伤害大小顺序为Cd²⁺＞Cu²⁺＞Zn²⁺.     

不同浓度硒酸钠对茶树的生长和生理指标的影响

该文以一年生扦插苗为材料,采用水培试验,研究不同浓度的硒酸钠(0、0.15、0.3、1.5、3、5、8 mg·L^-1)对茶苗的硒积累、植株生长、生理指标和根尖显微结构等参数的影响。结果表明:茶苗的根和新梢中的硒含量与营养液中的硒浓度正相关;随着硒浓度升高,茶苗的鲜重、侧根数量、根系生物量、光合色素含量、根系活力等生长指标,茶多酚、可溶性蛋白、可溶性糖等茶叶质量指标均呈现先升后降趋势;而丙二醛、过氧化氢、脯氨酸含量等抗逆生理指标则呈现先降后升趋势。显微结构分析显示在不同硒浓度处理条件下根尖的显微构造存在差异。低硒浓度(0.15、0.3、1.5 mg·L^-1)处理的茶苗根尖的皮层薄壁细胞饱满、完好,表皮细胞较小;高硒浓度(Se≥3 mg·L^-1)处理的茶苗根尖的皮层薄壁细胞变形或受损,表皮细胞增厚,表现出胁迫反应。上述结果说明硒对茶树具有双重效应,合适浓度(0.3 mg·L^-1)硒对茶树生长和茶叶品质有益,表现为光合作用和根系活力增强,过氧化物和脯氨酸含量降低,生物量增加,茶叶茶多酚含量增加;硒浓度过高(≥3 mg·L^-1)对茶苗的生长和茶叶品质有害,表现为茶苗出现胁迫反应,茶多酚降低。该研究结果为进一步研究硒对茶树的双重作用机制和富硒茶的栽培提供参考。

以光核桃(Prunus mira)幼苗为材料, 通过控制根系温度研究了根系温度变化与叶片脱落酸(ABA)的关系及其对光合机构热稳定性的影响。结果表明: 1)环境高温(37和40 ℃)胁迫下保持根系温度适宜((25±2) ℃)时, 幼苗叶片相对含水量(Relative water content, RWC)下降较少, 但叶片ABA含量低, 超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)、过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性低, 过氧化氢(H₂O₂)含量和膜质过氧化水平(丙二醛(Malondialdehyde, MDA)浓度)提高, 最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m)下降程度较大; 2)而同等环境高温(37和40 ℃)条件下根系温度逐步升高时, 幼苗叶片RWC降低, 叶片ABA含量增加, SOD、APX、POD、CAT活性高, H₂O₂含量高, MDA生成量低, F_v/F_m降低程度较小。与37 ℃相比, 40 ℃处理条件下各生理指标变化趋势相似, 但差异加大。因此认为: 高温胁迫条件下, 根系温度适宜时RWC高, 但导致光合机构伤害较重; 根系感受高温胁迫能够增加叶片ABA含量, 有助于保护光合机构、提高光合机构的抗热性。     

An alginate-derived oligosaccharide enhanced wheat tolerance to cadmium stress

Hydroponic experiments were carried out to study the role of alginate-derived oligosaccharides (ADO) in enhancing wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) tolerance to cadmium stress. Data were collected on plant biomass, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate, antioxidant enzyme activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content. Under 100 μM Cd stress, plant growth was significantly inhibited. Shoot length, root length, fresh and dry weight were sharply reduced by 24.21, 34.59, 22.1 and 14.7%, respectively of the control after 10 day of Cd exposure. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) activities were increased and MDA content increased. Wheat seeds were soaked for 5 h in 1,000 mg L⁻¹ ADO solution before cadmium stress. ADO pretreatment alleviated cadmium toxicity symptoms, which were reflected by increasing root and shoot lengths, fresh and dry weight, chlorophyll content and photosynthetic rate (P _n ). Furthermore, ADO pretreatment significantly increased antioxidant enzyme (SOD, CAT and POD) activities and reduced MDA content in leaves and roots. The results indicated that ADO pretreatment partially protected the seedlings from cadmium toxicity during the following growth period.     

Impact of exogenously applied tocopherol on some key physio-biochemical and yield attributes in mungbean [<Emphasis Type="Italic">Vigna radiata</Emphasis> (L.) Wilczek] under limited irrigation regimes

The lipophilic vitamin E, α-Tocopherol (α-Toc), has been considered as a potent cellular antioxidant naturally occurring in biological membranes. It plays a number of key metabolic roles in plants exposed to various stressful cues. A field experimental was conducted on mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] under varying water-limited regimes and the plants were sprayed with four levels of α-Toc (0, 100, 200, and 300 mg L^?1) at the vegetative stage of plant growth. The results showed that limited field irrigation regimes (desiccated conditions) caused a marked reduction in growth parameters (shoot and root fresh and dry weights; shoot and root lengths), photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a and b), total soluble proteins (TSP) and yield attributes (number of pods, seeds per plant, weight of ripened pods and 100-seeds weight), while, in contrast, water deficiency induced an increase in phenolics, proline, glycine betaine (GB), hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), malondialdehyde (MDA), reducing and non-reducing sugars, total free amino acids, endogenous tocopherol levels, and activities of antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT). However, the foliar spray of α-Toc significantly improved shoot and root fresh and dry weights, shoot and root lengths, chlorophyll a and b contents, phenolics, proline, GB, reducing and non-reducing sugars, TSP, total free amino acids, endogenous tocopherol level, and activities of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, POD, and CAT), as well as yield parameters. On the other hand, it significantly decreased the MDA and H₂O₂ levels. Of all varying levels of α-Toc used, 100 mg L^?1 was most effective in causing enhanced accumulation of ascorbic acid (AsA), MDA, and cellular tocopherols particularly in cv. Cyclone 7008, while proline and catalase in cv. Cyclone 8009. Of both cultivars, Cyclone 7008 was superior to the other cultivar in proline, TSP, SOD, and POD enzymes, but cv. Cyclone 8009 being superior in shoot fresh weights, root fresh weight, shoot and root lengths, chlorophyll a and b, phenolics, H₂O₂, AsA, MDA, CAT, number of pods, seeds, weight of ripened pods, and weight of 100 seeds under dry land conditions. Overall, exogenously applied tocopherol improved yield and myriad of key physio-biochemical attribute in mungbean.     

皇竹草活性氧代谢对阿特拉津胁迫的响应特征

采用水培实验研究了4个浓度（5、10、20、40 mg·L^-1）除草剂阿特拉津胁迫下,皇竹草（Pennisetum hydridum）叶片内超氧阴离子生成速率、过氧化氢（H₂O₂）含量、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性、过氧化氢酶（CAT）活性、过氧化物酶（POD）活性、丙二醛（MDA）含量、原生质膜透性的变化,探讨皇竹草对阿特拉津的抗性及其生理机制。结果显示:（1）低浓度（5、10 mg·L^-1）的阿特拉津胁迫使皇竹草叶片内超氧阴离子生成速率和CAT活性升高,却使H₂O₂含量及SOD和POD活性降低,但随着培养时间的延长,培养液中阿特拉津浓度的降低导致上述指标又有恢复到正常水平的趋势;而高浓度（40 mg·L^-1）的阿特拉津胁迫则使皇竹草叶片内H₂O₂含量、SOD、POD和CAT活性持续降低。（2）在各胁迫浓度下持续胁迫10 d后,皇竹草叶片内MDA含量开始逐渐升高,并且升高幅度随着胁迫浓度的提高而明显增加,但各胁迫浓度下叶片原生质膜相对透性未见明显的变化。研究表明,皇竹草可能通过活性氧等信号分子调控自身保护酶系统的活性来缓解阿特拉津造成的伤害,从而对低浓度（5、10 mg·L^-1）的阿特拉津胁迫表现出较强抗性。     

The Possible Roles of Priming with ZnO Nanoparticles in Mitigation of Salinity Stress in Lupine (Lupinus termis) Plants

To our knowledge, little attention has been paid to evaluating ZnO nanoparticles (ZNPs) roles in plants grown under salinity stress. In this study, seeds of lupine (Lupinus termis) plants were grown in plastic pots and exposed to 0 (control) and 150 (S) mM NaCl with or without priming with different concentrations of ZnO [20 mg L^?1 (ZNPs1), 40 mg L^?1 (ZNPs2), and 60 mg L^?1 (ZNPs3)] for 20 days. Salinized plants showed a reduction in plant growth parameters (root length, shoot length, fresh weight, and dry weight) and in the contents of photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a and b, and carotenoids) and Zn, as well as in the activity of catalase (CAT) against control plants. On the other side, salinity stress boosted the contents of organic solutes (soluble sugar, soluble protein, total free amino acids, and proline), total phenols, malondialdehyde (MDA), ascorbic acid and Na, as well as the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) in stressed plants over control plants. However, seed-priming with ZNPs mostly stimulated growth of stressed plants, which was accompanied by reinforcement in the levels of photosynthetic pigments, organic solutes, total phenols, ascorbic acid and Zn, as well as in the activities of SOD, CAT, POD, and APX enzymes over stressed plants alone. On the contrary, priming with ZNPs caused a decrement in the contents of MDA and Na in stressed plants relative to salinized plants alone. It is worthy to mention that, this improvement in salt tolerance of plants primed with ZNPs was more obvious in plants primed with ZNPs3 and grown both in unstressed and stressed regimes. Thus, our findings suggest that seed-priming with ZNPs, especially 60 mg L^?1 ZnO is an effective strategy that can be used to enhance salt tolerance of lupine plants.

     

Synergistic effects of drought and ascorbic acid on growth,mineral nutrients and oxidative defense system in canola (Brassica napus L.) plants

A study was conducted to find out the role of ascorbic acid (AsA) in modulating growth and different physio-biochemical attributes of canola plants under well-watered as well as water-deficit conditions. Drought stress imposed on 60 % field capacity significantly decreased the shoot and root fresh and dry weights, leaf chlorophyll contents, shoot and root P, root K⁺, and activity of CAT enzyme, while increased chlorophyll a/b contents, MDA, NPQ, leaf total phenolics, free proline and GB contents in both canola cultivars. Foliar-applied varying levels (50, 100 and 150 mg L^?1) of AsA enhanced shoot and root fresh and root dry weights, qN, NPQ, shoot and root P, AsA as well as the activity of POD enzyme particularly under drought stress conditions. Of both canola cultivars, cv. Dunkeld was higher in shoot fresh weights, ETR and F _v /F _m, MDA, proline and GB contents, and POD activity, however, cv. Cyclone in total phenolics and qN under well-watered and water-deficit conditions. Overall, the foliar-applied AsA had a positive effect, though not marked, on salt sensitive cv. Cyclone in terms of improved growth and other attributes, whereas exogenously applied AsA had a non-significant effect on relatively salt tolerant cv. Dunkeld.     

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.     

Morphological and physiological characterization of different genotypes of faba bean under heat stress

Heat stress (HS) is the major constraint to crop productivity worldwide. The objective of the present experiment was to select the tolerant and sensitive genotype(s) on the basis of morpho-physiological and biochemical characteristics of ten Vicia faba genotypes. These genotypes were as follows: Zafar 1, Zafar 2, Shebam 1, Makamora, Espan, Giza Blanka, Giza 3, C4, C5 and G853. The experimental work was undertaken to study the effects of different levels of temperature (control, mild, and modest) on plant height (PH) plant⁻¹, fresh weight (FW) and dry weight (DW) plant⁻¹, area leaf⁻¹, content of leaf relative water (RWC), proline content (Pro) and total chlorophyll (Total Chl), electrolyte leakage (EL), malondialdehyde level (MDA), hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), and activities of catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes. HS significantly affected growth performance of all genotypes. However, the magnitude of reduction in genotypes ‘C5’ was relatively low, possibly due to its better antioxidant activities (CAT, POD and SOD), and accumulation of Pro and Total Chl, and leaf RWC. In the study, ‘C5’ was noted to be the most HS tolerant and ‘Espan’ most HS sensitive genotypes. It was concluded that the heat-tolerant genotypes may have better osmotic adjustment and protection from free radicals by increasing the accumulation of Pro content with increased activities of antioxidant enzyme.

马尾松幼苗生长及生理特性对铝胁迫的响应

以马尾松幼苗为试验材料,采用水培法研究铝胁迫（Al³⁺浓度为0、0.2、0.4、0.8、1.6 mmol·L^-1）对马尾松幼苗生长及其针叶中叶绿素、渗透调节物质（可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白、脯氨酸）、丙二醛（MDA）和超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、过氧化物酶（POD）等保护酶活性的影响,为揭示马尾松铝毒害生理机制及提高马尾松的耐铝能力提供理论依据。结果显示：当Al³⁺处理浓度为0.2 mmol·L^-1时对马尾松株高和基径生长的影响较小,但对马尾松根系生长有一定的促进作用;Al³⁺处理浓度大于0.2 mmol·L^-1时对马尾松株高、基径和根长的生长均会产生一定的抑制作用,且这种抑制作用随着Al³⁺浓度的增大而增强。马尾松针叶中叶绿素含量和SOD、POD活性均随着Al³⁺处理浓度的增加呈先上升后下降的趋势;Al³⁺处理浓度大于0.2 mmol·L^-1时马尾松针叶中可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白、脯氨酸等渗透调节物质均呈上升趋势,且随着Al³⁺浓度的升高而增大;Al³⁺处理浓度大于0.2 mmol·L^-1时马尾松针叶中MDA含量也呈上升趋势,且随着Al³⁺浓度的增大而升高,说明大于0.2 mmol·L^-1的Al³⁺处理可导致马尾松膜脂产生氧化。研究表明,马尾松幼苗具有一定的耐铝能力,在铝胁迫生境下可通过提高自身SOD和POD等保护酶的合成和主动积累脯氨酸、蛋白质和可溶性糖等渗透物质,产生适应性生理响应以维持自身的生理平衡来降低铝毒害作用。     

盐胁迫对长春花幼苗生长和生物碱含量的影响

以NaCl浓度分别为0、50、100、150、200和250 mmol·L^-1的1/2 Hoagland营养液处理长春花幼苗,7 d后测定其鲜质量、干质量、丙二醛(MDA)和叶绿素含量、色氨酸脱羧酶（TDC）和过氧化物酶（POD）活性等生理指标及文多灵、长春质碱、长春新碱和长春碱等生物碱含量.结果表明：NaCl显著地降低长春花幼苗的鲜质量和干质量,提高MDA含量;叶绿素含量在低盐浓度(50 mmol·L^-1)下与对照相比差异不显著,在高于50 mmol·L^-1时随NaCl浓度的增加而逐渐降低;在NaCl处理下,POD活性与对照相比显著上升;TDC活性在50 mmol·L^-1 NaCl处理下活性最高,而后随盐浓度的增加逐渐降低;文多灵、长春质碱、长春新碱和长春碱含量都是在50 mmol·L^-1NaCl处理下最高,分别为4.61、3.56、1.19和2.95 mg·g^-1,并显著高于对照及其他处理.盐胁迫虽然在一定程度上抑制了长春花幼苗生长,但促进了其生物碱的代谢,提高了生物碱含量;50 mmol·L^-1NaCl处理对长春花吲哚生物碱代谢的促进作用最大.
