黑脉羊肚菌(Morchella angustieeps),尖顶羊肚菌(M．Conwa)和羊肚菌(M．Esculenta)三种不同的羊肚菌在相同的培养液及培养条件下,菌丝体产量、总蛋白及可溶性蛋白质的含量无显著的差异;同一个种在含不同浓度麦芽糖、蛋白胨和维生素Bl的培养基上生长时,总蛋白和可溶性蛋白质的含量无显著的差异,但菌丝体的产量的差异较大,可溶性蛋白质的种类和数量,以及酯酶同功酶的组成也有一定的差异。     

薇甘菊花芽分化前后内源激素及相关基因表达的研究

以云南省瑞丽市勐秀林场扦插种植的薇甘菊为试材,采用液相色谱串联质谱(LC-MS/MS)技术对花芽未分化期和花序原基分化期花芽中的生长素(IAA)、赤霉素(GA)、脱落酸(ABA)、反式玉米素(tZ)、异戊烯腺嘌呤(IP)、1-氨基环丙烷羧酸(ACC)、茉莉酸(JA)和水杨酸(SA)含量进行定量分析,同时基于转录组基因功能注释数据对内源激素合成、代谢及信号转导途径相关基因进行表达分析,以探讨不同内源激素对薇甘菊花芽形成的调控作用,以及内源激素合成和信号转导途径相关基因调控薇甘菊花芽分化的机制,为后期通过外源激素调控薇甘菊内源激素水平的方式来控制薇甘菊的有性繁殖提供理论和技术支持。结果表明：(1)薇甘菊未分化期花芽中GA₁₅、GA₁₉、GA₂₀、GA₂₄、IAA、ABA和ETH含量低于花序原基分化期,而未分化期花芽中两种细胞分裂素tZ和IP含量显著高于花序原基分化期。(2)基于RNA-seq测序结果,在薇甘菊两个花芽分化时期共获得7 116个差异表达基因(DEGs),其中上调3 907个,下调3 209个。(3)在内源激素合成方面,参与GA₁₅、GA₁₉、GA₂₀、GA₂₄、IAA、ABA和ACC合成的大量DEGs在花序原基分化期上调表达,这与它们在薇甘菊花序原基分化期的高含量趋势相一致;参与IAA合成的YUCCA基因家族和ACC合成的ACS基因在花序原基分化期的高表达也可能参与促进薇甘菊花芽分化。(4)在植物激素转导途径中,在花序原基分化期,生长素信号转导途径通过AUX/IAA(gene-E3N88_07743)的下调表达和ARF(gene-E3N88_41119)的上调表达,乙烯信号转导途径通过ERF(gene-E3N88_41547)的上调表达,赤霉素信号转导途径通过GID1(gene-E3N88_19448)基因的上调表达,细胞分裂素信号转导途径通过B-ARR(gene-E3N88_28086)和A-RRR(gene-E3N88_40764)基因的下调表达,脱落酸途径通过AREB(gene-E3N88_18558)基因的上调表达,茉莉酸信号转导途径通过JAZ(gene-E3N88_05628)的上调表达和MYC2(gene-E3N88_32405)的下调表达来调控薇甘菊花芽分化。研究发现,高水平的GA₁₅、GA₁₉、GA₂₀、GA₂₄、IAA、ABA和ACC有利于薇甘菊的花芽分化;薇甘菊在花芽分化过程中通过改变不同种类内源激素合成、代谢基因的表达来调控激素浓度,而激素又通过信号转导途径引起下游基因的表达,进而调控薇甘菊的花芽分化。     

没食子酸对水稻细菌性条斑病菌细胞结构的影响

没食子酸(gallic acid, GA)是一种植物酚类化合物,具有多种生物活性。前期实验发现,GA对水稻细菌性条斑病菌(Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola, Xoc)具有较强的抑制作用。为了解该物质对Xoc的细胞结构和细胞膜的影响,该研究用电子显微镜观察GA对Xoc的形态结构的影响,通过测定GA处理后的Xoc培养液的电导率、紫外吸收物含量(260 nm的吸光值)、乳酸脱氢酶的活性以及菌体的二乙酸荧光素(fluorescein diacetate, FDA)的强度等,探讨了GA对Xoc细胞膜的完整性和通透性的影响。结果表明:经浓度为200 μg·mL^-1的 GA处理后,Xoc的菌体形态结构发生改变,表面有明显的凹陷或不规则囊泡状突起,表明GA对Xoc细胞壁有损伤作用。200 μg·mL^-1的GA处理24 h后,病菌培养液的电导率为135.48 μS·cm^-1(对照处理为127.85 μS·cm^-1)。GA处理2 h后,Xoc细胞荧光强度下降58.10%,说明病菌细胞内电解质外渗和细胞溶质发生渗漏; 同时,乳酸脱氢酶的活性增加,表明菌体的细胞膜受到破坏。此外,GA处理24 h后,Xoc培养液在260 nm下的吸光值为1.004(对照处理为0.018),表明病菌细胞膜的完整性受到破坏。这表明GA不仅破坏Xoc的细胞膜通透性,而且还影响膜的完整性。

不同水分条件下杨树-玉米复合系统凋落物分解特性

为探讨水分变化对农林复合生态系统凋落物分解特性的影响,以河西走廊杨树（Populus）-玉米（Zea mays）凋落物为研究对象,设置正常水分（9200 m³/hm²,对照）,轻度干旱胁迫（减少15%,7800 m³/hm²）,中度干旱胁迫（减少30%,6400 m³/hm²）3种不同水分处理条件,采用分解袋法研究了不同水分条件下杨树叶和玉米秸秆的质量残留率、分解速率和养分含量变化特征。结果表明：（1）随着干旱胁迫的加剧,两种凋落物的质量残留率均增加,而分解速率降低。经过164 d的分解后,杨树叶和玉米秸秆的质量残留率分别为70.43%-77.49%、63.55%-68.29%。分析表明：水分和时间对各类型凋落物的质量残留率均有极显著的影响（P<0.001）,但二者的交互作用不显著（P>0.05）;干旱胁迫显著降低了玉米秸秆的分解速率,但杨树叶的分解速率却只是在中度干旱胁迫下显著降低（P<0.05）。对于不同类型凋落物而言,分解速率表现为玉米秸秆>杨树叶。（2）两种类型凋落物的氮（N）残留率在分解过程中表现为降低的趋势,但随着干旱程度的加大,N的残留率增加,表明水分抑制了N的释放过程。分解164d后,同一类型凋落物不同水分条件下的N残留率均存在显著差异。对于同一水分条件下不同凋落物而言,玉米秸秆的N残留率最低,而杨树叶最高。总的来说,水分降低对干旱区农林复合系统内凋落物的分解和氮元素含量具有显著的抑制作用。     

马尾松林两种林下植被土壤碳氮特征及其与凋落物质量的关系

以飞播马尾松林为研究对象,通过典型样地调查和样品测定,采用配对样本t检验和冗余分析（RDA）方法分析芒萁类和禾草类两种林下植被类型土壤碳、氮特征及其与凋落物质量之间的关系。结果表明：（1）土壤有机碳、微生物量碳、可溶性有机碳、全氮、速效氮、微生物量氮和可溶性有机氮含量在0-10、10-20 cm土层均表现为禾草类显著高于芒萁类（P < 0.05）,而在20-40、40-80 cm土层两种植被类型碳氮指标的大小未表现出相同的变化规律,且差异不显著（P > 0.05）。（2）两种植被类型凋落物半分解和未分解层的C含量及C/N值均表现为芒萁类显著高于禾草类（P < 0.05）,而N含量则表现为禾草类显著高于芒萁类（P < 0.05）;同一植被类型的未分解层C含量及C/N值均显著大于半分解层,N含量则半分解层显著大于未分解层（P < 0.05）。（3）0-10 cm土层两种类型凋落物C/N值和C含量均与土壤碳氮各指标呈显著负相关（P < 0.05）,N含量与土壤碳氮各指标的相关性不显著（P > 0.05）;10-20 cm土层,芒萁类的半分解层C/N值与土壤碳氮各指标存在显著相关性（P < 0.05）,禾草类的凋落物C含量与土壤碳氮各指标也存在显著相关性（P < 0.01）。林下植被凋落物C/N值越小,其分解速率越快,有利于土壤养分的积累,禾草类凋落物C/N值低于芒萁类是导致其土壤碳氮指标高于芒萁类的重要原因。

A method for profiling classes of plant hormones and their metabolites using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry: an analysis of hormone regulation of thermodormancy of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) seeds

A highly selective and sensitive method for the simultaneous analysis of several plant hormones and their metabolites is described. The method combines high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with positive and negative electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) to quantify a broad range of chemically and structurally diverse compounds. The addition of deuterium-labeled analogs for these compounds prior to sample extraction permits accurate quantification by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Endogenous levels of abscisic acid (ABA), abscisic acid glucose ester (ABA-GE), 7'-hydroxy-abscisic acid (7'-OH-ABA), phaseic acid (PA), dihydrophaseic acid (DPA), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-aspartate (IAAsp), zeatin (Z), zeatin riboside (ZR), isopentenyladenine (2iP), isopentenyladenosine (IPA), and gibberellins (GA)1, GA3, GA4, and GA7 were determined simultaneously in a single run. Detection limits ranged from 0.682 fmol for Z to 1.53 pmol for ABA. The method was applied to the analysis of plant hormones and hormonal metabolites associated with seed dormancy and germination in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. cv. Grand Rapids), using extracts from only 50 to 100 mg DW of seed. Thermodormancy was induced by incubating seeds at 33 degrees C instead of 23 degrees C. Germinating seeds transiently accumulated high levels of ABA-GE. In contrast, thermodormant seeds transiently accumulated high levels of DPA after 7 days at 33 degrees C. GA1 and GA3 were detected during germination, and levels of GA1 increased during early post-germinative growth. After several days of incubation, thermodormant seeds exhibited a striking transient accumulation of IAA, which did not occur in seeds germinating at 23 degrees C. We conclude that hormone metabolism in thermodormant seeds is surprisingly active and is significantly different from that of germinating seeds.     

Scale-up of a liquid static culture process for hyperproduction of ganoderic acid by the medicinal mushroom Ganoderma lucidum

Scale-up of a liquid static culture process was studied for hyperproduction of ganoderic acid (GA) by a famous Chinese traditional medicinal mushroom, Ganoderma lucidum. Initial volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient (K(L)a) and area of liquid surface per liquid volume (A(s)) were identified as key factors affecting cell growth and GA accumulation in liquid static cultures of G. lucidum, on the basis of which a multilayer static bioreactor was designed. At a low initial K(L)a level of 2.1 h(-1), a thick layer of white mycelia was formed on the liquid surface, and an optimal production of total GA (i.e., GA production in the liquid and on the liquid surface) was obtained. Both the formation of white mycelia and production of GA on the liquid surface were enhanced with an increase of A(s) within the range as investigated (0.24-1.53 cm(2)/mL). At an A(s) value of 0.90 cm(2)/mL, the total GA production reached maximum. A successful scale-up from a 20-mL static T-flask to a 7.5-L three-layer static bioreactor was achieved based on initial K(L)a. The maximum biomass (20.8 +/- 0.1 g DW/L), GA content (4.96 +/- 0.13 mg/100 mg DW), and total GA production (976 +/- 35 mg/L) were attained in static bioreactors. Not only GA content but also its production obtained in this work were the highest ever reported.     

Identification of Antheridiogens in Lygodium circinnatum and Lygodium flexuosum

Antheridiogens in two species of Schizaeaceous ferns, Lygodium circinnatum and Lygodium flexuosum, were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. In L. circinnatum, gibberellin A73 (GA73) methyl ester (GA73-Me), which had originally been identified in L. japonicum, was identified as a principal antheridiogen, and the methyl esters of five known GAs (GA9, GA20, GA70, GA88, and 3-epi-GA88) were also identified as minor antheridiogens. In addition, four compounds corresponding to isomers of monohydroxy-GA73-Me were detected. One of these was shown to be 12[beta]-hydroxy-GA73-Me, the parent acid of which has been allocated the GA assignment GA96. The other three compounds, tentatively named X1, X2, and X3, have not been fully characterized. In L. flexuosum, GA73-Me was also identified as a major antheridiogen, with X2 being detected as a minor one. The total antheridium-formation activity in the culture medium of 7-week-old prothallia of L. circinnatum and L. flexuosum was more than 1000 times higher than that of L. japonicum. On the other hand, the response of gametophytes of the former two Lygodium ferns to GA73-Me was more than 100 times lower than that of L. japonicum.     

Marked changes in volume of mesophyll protoplasts of pea (Pisum sativum) on exposure to growth hormones

The present study reports quick and significant changes induced by plant hormones in the volume of mesophyll protoplasts of pea (Pisum sativum). Four plant hormones: gibberellic acid (GA3), indole 3-acetic acid (IAA), abscisic acid (ABA)(+/-) and methyl jasmonate (MJ), caused marked changes in the volume of mesophyll protoplasts. GA3 and IAA increased the volume of the protoplasts (up to 90%) whereas the ABA and MJ decreased (by about 40%) the volume. Aquaporins or water channels appear to play an important role in swelling/shrinkage of the protoplasts as indicated by the suppression of volume changes by HgCl2 and reversal by mercaptoethanol. The possible role of secondary messengers in volume changes induced by GA3 was investigated by using selected pharmacological reagents. The GA3 induced swelling was restricted by GDP-beta-S (G-protein antagonist), U73122 (phospholipase C inhibitor), and TFP (calmodulin antagonist), but was not affected by 1-butanol (phospholipase D inhibitor), GTP-gamma-S (G-protein agonist), or verapamil (calcium channel blocker). The results suggest that the mesophyll protoplasts can be a simple and useful system for further studies on volume changes in plant tissues.     

Exogenous hormone applications at pollination for in vitro and in vivo production of cotton interspecific hybrids

Interspecific hybridization of cotton (Gossypium) has been assisted by ovule and embryo culture. These culture methods were compared to exogenous hormone applications for efficient plant production from crosses between Upland cotton, G. hirsutum L., as the maternal parent, and various diploid and tetraploid wild species as the pollen donor. The best exogenous hormone treatment resulted in an average production of five seeds per boll and 4% boll abscission. Generally, exogenous hormones used with standard hybridization techniques were superior to in vitro methods, but for some crosses, embryo culture following hormone applications was warranted.Abbreviations GA gibberellic acid, >90% A₃ - NAA 1-naphthaleneacetic acid - NOA 2-naphthoxyacetic acid.     

Distribution of gibberellin biosynthetic genes and gibberellin production in the Gibberella fujikuroi species complex

Gibberella fujikuroi is a species-rich monophyletic complex of at least nine sexually fertile biological species (mating populations, MP-A to MP-I) and more than 30 anamorphs in the genus Fusarium. They produce a variety of secondary metabolites, such as fumonisins, fusaproliferin, moniliformin, beauvericin, fusaric acid, and gibberellins (GAs), a group of plant hormones. In this study, we examined for the first time all nine sexually fertile species (MPs) and additional anamorphs within and outside the G. fujikuroi species complex for the presence of GA biosynthetic genes. So far, the ability to produce GAs was described only for Fusarium fujikuroi (G. fujikuroi MP-C), which contains seven clustered genes in the genome all participating in GA biosynthesis. We show that six other MPs (MPs B, D, E, F, G, and I) and most of the anamorphs within the species complex also contain the entire gene cluster, except for F. verticillioides (MP-A), and F. circinatum (MP-H), containing only parts of it. Despite the presence of the entire gene cluster in most of the species within the G. fujikuroi species complex, expression of GA biosynthetic genes and GA production were detected only in F. fujikuroi (MP-C) and one isolate of F. konzum (MP-I). We used two new molecular marker genes, P450-4 from the GA gene cluster, and cpr, encoding the highly conserved NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase to study phylogenetic relationships within the G. fujikuroi species complex. The molecular phylogenetic studies for both genes have revealed good agreement with phylogenetic trees inferred from other genes. Furthermore, we discuss the role and evolutionary origin of the GA biosynthetic gene cluster.
