嫁接对铜胁迫下黄瓜幼苗根系多胺代谢的影响

采用营养液栽培法,研究了嫁接(以黑籽南瓜为砧木)对铜胁迫下黄瓜幼苗根系活力及多胺代谢的影响.结果表明:铜胁迫下黄瓜幼苗根系活力下降,电解质渗漏率升高,而嫁接苗的变化幅度显著小于黄瓜自根苗;铜胁迫下黄瓜嫁接植株根系中除游离态腐胺(Put)含量显著低于自根苗外,结合态和束缚态Put、3种形态亚精胺(Spd)和精胺(Spm)含量均显著高于自根苗,嫁接苗根系中游离态Put含量及腐胺/多胺(Put/PAs)显著低于自根苗;铜胁迫下,嫁接苗根系精氨酸脱羧酶(ADC)、鸟氨酸脱羧酶(ODC)和S-腺苷蛋氨酸脱羧酶(SAMDC)活性高于自根苗,而二胺氧化酶(DAO)和多胺氧化酶(PAO)活性显著低于自根苗.表明嫁接黄瓜幼苗根系PAs的合成增加,降解减少,使PAs含量维持在较高水平,从而提高了黄瓜幼苗抗铜胁迫能力.

钙对低氧胁迫下黄瓜幼苗体内多胺及多胺氧化酶的影响

以‘中农8号’黄瓜品种为实验材料,采用营养液栽培法研究了钙对根际低氧胁迫下黄瓜幼苗体内多胺(PAs)含量及多胺氧化酶(PAO)活性的影响。结果表明:(1)各处理黄瓜幼苗根系和叶片中的PAs含量以及3种形态的腐胺(Put)、亚精胺(Spd)、精胺(Spm)含量均表现为低氧高钙(8 mmol.L-1Ca2 )>低氧常钙(2 mmol.L-1Ca2 )>低氧缺钙(0 mmol.L-1Ca2 )>通气常钙(2 mmol.L-1Ca2 )处理,而PAO活性却表现出相反的趋势(通气常钙>低氧缺钙>低氧常钙>低氧高钙),且处理间大多存在显著差异(P<0.05);根系中的PAs含量明显高于叶片,而PAO活性明显低于叶片。(2)黄瓜幼苗体内3种形态的PAs以游离态含量最高,其次是结合态,最低为束缚态;游离态和结合态PAs在叶片中均以Spd为主,在根系中均以Put为主,束缚态PAs含量在根系和叶片中均为Spd>Put>Spm。研究表明,在低氧胁迫下,营养液加钙引起黄瓜幼苗体内多胺含量的上升和PAO活性下降,钙参与了黄瓜幼苗体内多胺的代谢过程,对缓解低氧胁迫有重要作用。     

盐胁迫下大麦幼苗多胺的种类和状态与多胺氧化酶活性的关系

200 mmol/L的NaCl胁迫8 d大麦幼苗叶片和根系中的三种形态多胺都有不同程度地下降,其中游离态多胺含量的下降幅度最大;高氯酸不溶性结合态多胺含量变化较小.根系中PAO的活性先上升后下降,而叶片中PAO的活性先下降后上升.游离态多胺中,亚精胺和精胺(Spd Spm)的含量变化与相应部位PAO的活性变化趋势相反,表明PAO在盐胁迫下可能调节了游离态多胺的含量从而影响高氯酸可溶结合态与高氯酸不溶结合态多胺的含量.     

盐碱混合胁迫对裸燕麦幼苗叶片脯氨酸和多胺代谢的影响

为探讨裸燕麦对盐碱混合胁迫的脯氨酸(Pro)和多胺(PAs)响应机制,采用温室砂培试验,研究了低(25 mmol·L-1)、高(75 mmol·L~(-1))浓度盐碱混合胁迫0、1、3、5和7 d幼苗叶片Pro和PAs含量及相关代谢酶活性的变化。结果表明:与对照相比,盐碱混合胁迫在整个胁迫期间提高了裸燕麦叶片Pro含量,高浓度胁迫提高的幅度大于低浓度胁迫;低浓度胁迫下吡咯啉-5-羧酸合成酶(P5CS)活性提高,而鸟氨酸-δ-氨基转移酶(δ-OAT)和脯氨酸脱氢酶(Pro DH)活性受抑;高浓度胁迫下δ-OAT活性提高,而P5CS和Pro DH活性下降,说明低浓度胁迫下Pro合成以谷氨酸途径为主,高浓度胁迫下以鸟氨酸途径为主;低、高浓度盐碱混合胁迫下,游离态腐胺(Put)、亚精胺(Spd)和精胺(Spm)及结合态Spd和束缚态Spd、Spm含量提高,结合态Put、Spm和束缚态Put含量在胁迫1~5 d时提高,胁迫7 d时下降,且高浓度胁迫的变幅大于低浓度胁迫;Put/PAs和(c PAs+b PAs)/f PAs在胁迫1~3 d时提高,胁迫5~7 d时下降或变化不明显,(Spd+Spm)/Put的变化却相反;整个胁迫期间低浓度胁迫保持了较低的Put/PAs和较高的(Spd+Spm)/Put,(c PAs+b PAs)/f PAs除胁迫1 d时低浓度胁迫低于高浓度胁迫外,其余胁迫时间两浓度处理间差异不显著;精氨酸脱羧酶(ADC)和鸟氨酸脱羧酶(ODC)活性在低、高浓度盐碱混合胁迫期间提高,二胺氧化酶(DAO)活性在胁迫1~3 d下降或变化不大,胁迫5~7 d时升高,多胺氧化酶(PAO)活性的变化与DAO相反,且高浓度胁迫下ADC、ODC、DAO和PAO的变幅大于低浓度胁迫。说明盐碱混合胁迫初期(1~3 d)游离态PAs(f PAs)向结合态和束缚态PAs(cPAs+bPAs)转化增强,低浓度胁迫后期(5~7 d)Put向Spd和Spm转化的能力强于高浓度胁迫,但高浓度胁迫在整个胁迫期间PAs合成和分解的速率更高。     

盐胁迫对黄瓜幼苗根系脯氨酸和多胺代谢的影响

以2个黄瓜品种‘长春密刺’(抗盐性较强)和‘津春2号’(抗盐性较弱)为材料,采用营养液栽培,研究了盐胁迫对幼苗根系脯氨酸(Pro)和多胺(PAs)代谢的影响。结果表明,盐胁迫能提高黄瓜幼苗根系吡咯啉-5-羧酸合成酶(P5CS)活性,抑制脯氨酸脱氢酶(ProDH)活性,从而显著增加Pro含量,且‘长春密刺’变化幅度显著大于‘津春2号’;盐胁迫下,‘长春密刺’根系精氨酸脱羧酶(ADC)、鸟氨酸脱羧酶(ODC)和S-腺苷蛋氨酸脱羧酶(SAMDC)活性升高幅度显著大于‘津春2号’,而多胺氧化酶(PAO)活性升高幅度显著低于‘津春2号’,引起其根系内亚精胺(Spd)和精胺(Spm)含量显著增加;盐胁迫下,2品种根系腐胺(Put)含量呈先上升后下降的变化趋势,随着Put积累降低,Pro含量显著增加。可见,盐胁迫诱导根系较高的Pro、Spd和Spm积累有利于提高黄瓜幼苗对盐胁迫逆境的适应能力,盐胁迫下PAs代谢和Pro代谢密切相关,Put的积累一定程度上促进了Pro含量的增加。     

外源γ-氨基丁酸对低氧胁迫下甜瓜幼苗活性氧代谢的影响

以甜瓜品种‘西域一号’幼苗为材料,采用营养液水培方法,设置正常通气(对照)、正常通气+GABA(5mmol.L-1)、低氧胁迫、低氧胁迫+GABA(5mmol.L-1)4个处理,研究了外源γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)对正常通气和低氧胁迫下甜瓜幼苗活性氧代谢的影响。结果表明:与正常通气处理相比,低氧胁迫处理导致甜瓜幼苗体内O2.-产生速率和H2O2、MDA含量显著增加,同时SOD、POD、CAT、APX、GR等抗氧化酶活性和抗氧化物质AsA、GSH含量显著提高。低氧胁迫下外源GABA能显著提高甜瓜幼苗叶片SOD、CAT、APX、GR等酶活性和AsA、GSH含量,降低了植株体内O2.-产生速率和H2O2、MDA含量;而正常通气条件下添加外源GABA处理对甜瓜幼苗活性氧代谢的影响较小,仅CAT、GR活性和AsA、GSH含量显著提高,而H2O2、MDA含量显著降低。结果证明,添加外源GABA可以通过显著提高低氧胁迫下抗氧化酶活性和抗氧化物质含量来降低甜瓜幼苗活性氧积累,维持其细胞膜结构稳定性,从而有效减轻低氧胁迫对甜瓜幼苗的伤害。     

盐胁迫对黄瓜幼苗根系生长和多胺代谢的影响

以两个不同抗盐性黄瓜品种为试材,采用营养液水培法,研究了NaCl胁迫对幼苗根系生长和多胺代谢的影响.结果表明:盐胁迫下黄瓜幼苗根系生长受抑制,膜脂过氧化和电解质渗漏升高,而弱抗盐品种‘津春2号'的变化幅度大于抗盐品种‘长春密刺';盐胁迫下‘长春密刺'根系精氨酸脱羧酶、鸟氨酸脱羧酶和S-腺苷蛋氨酸脱羧酶活性升高幅度均大于‘津春2号',其最高值分别比对照增加了149.3%、60.1%、69.4%和118.6%、56.2%、50.6%;'长春密刺'多胺氧化酶活性升高幅度小于‘津春2号',而二胺氧化酶活性仅在‘长春密刺'中增加.'长春密刺'根系游离态亚精胺和精胺、结合态和束缚态多胺含量均显著增加,而‘津春2号'根系游离态腐胺含量显著增加.表明黄瓜根系中较高的游离态亚精胺和精胺、结合态和束缚态多胺以及较低的游离态腐胺含量有利于提高幼苗对盐胁迫逆境的适应能力.     

The recalcitrance to rooting of the micropropagated shoots of the rac tobacco mutant: Implications of polyamines and of the polyamine metabolism

Rooting of wild-type tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi) shoots raised in vitro was promoted by polyamines in the absence of any other growth regulator and was inhibited by two inhibitors of polyamine metabolism. The auxin insensitive and recalcitrant to rooting rac mutant shoots did not respond to the same treatments. The activities of arginine decarboxylase (ADC), ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), diamine oxidase (DAO), polyamine oxidase (PAO) and transglutaminases (TGases), and the titres of free and conjugated polyamines were estimated in the whole shoots and the basal parts of the stems of both tobaccos in the course of multiplication in vitro. The rac shoots grew at a lower rate. The wild-type rooted from the 7th day without special treatment. During the second week of culture, the shoots of both tobaccos were actively growing and showed an increase in ADC, ODC, DAO, PAO and TGase activities. Afterwards all these activities declined. These changes were concomitant with an increase in the polyamine contents (free and conjugated). Biosynthesis and oxidation of polyamines apparently occurred simultaneously and seemed directly correlated. In the basal part of the mutant stems however, the accumulation of free and conjugated putrescine as well as the transient increase in biosynthetic enzyme activities were delayed compared to the wild-type. These results are discussed in relation to growth behaviour and to root formation.     

Polyamine metabolism and in vitro cell multiplication and differentiation in leaf explants of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat

Arginine decarboxylase (ADC), ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), diamine oxydase (DAO) free amine and conjugated amine titers were estimated in leaf explants of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat. var. Spinder cultivated in vitro in relation to hormone treatment. Addition of benzyladenine (BA) to a basal medium caused the formation of buds on the explants. BA plus 2,4 dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4 D) caused callus formation and proliferation. Formation of roots was obtained by addition of indolylacetic acid (IAA). Arginine decarboxylase (ADC) ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and diamine oxidase (DAO) activities increased during the first days of culture when cell multiplication was rapid, followed by a sharp decline as the rate of cell division decreased and differentiation took place. DAO activities increased rapidly in proliferating and growing organs and decreased during maturity. This increase was concomitant with ADC and ODC activities and polyamine content (free and conjugated polyamines). The biosynthesis and oxidation of polyamines which occurred simultaneously in physiological states of intense metabolism such as cell division or organ formation were directly correlated. In callus cultures DAO activity was blocked throughout development and regulated neither the cellular levels of polyamines nor polyamine conjugates. Levels of polyamine conjugates were high in callus cultures throughout development. In foliar explants cultivated on a medium promoting callus, inhibition of ODC activity by DFMO (-DL-difluoromethylornithine, a specific enzyme-activated ODC inhibitor) resulting in an amide deficiency facilated the expression of differentiated cell function; substantial activation of DAO was observed until the emergence of the buds. On a medium promoting bud formation, -OH ethylhydrazine (DAO inhibitor) promoted callus formation without differentiation. In this system DAO activity was blocked and there were high levels of polyamines, especially polyamine conjugates, throughout the culture period. The relationship among free and conjugated polyamines related biosynthetic enzyme activities, DAO activities, cell division and organ formation is discussed.Abbreviations ADC = arginine decarboxylase - ODC = ornithine decarboxylase - DOA = diamine oxidase - DFMA = -DL-difluoromethylarginine - DFMO = -DL-difluoromethylornithine - Put = putrescine     

Polyamine metabolism in barley reacting hypersensitively to the powdery mildew fungus Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei

Polyamine levels and activities of enzymes of polyamine biosynthesis and catabolism were examined in the barley cultivar Delibes (Ml1al + Ml(Ab)) reacting hypersensitively to the powdery mildew fungus, Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei (race CC220). Levels of free putrescine and spermine and of conjugated forms of putrescine, spermidine and spermine were greatly increased 1–4 d following inoculation of barley with the powdery mildew. These changes in polyamine levels were accompanied by elevated activities of the polyamine biosynthetic enzymes ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), arginine decarboxylase (ADC) and S‐adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC) and the polyamine catabolic enzymes diamine oxidase (DAO) and polyamine oxidase (PAO). Activities of two enzymes involved in conjugating polyamines to hydroxycinnamic acids, putrescine hydroxycinnamoyl transferase (PHT) and tyramine feruloyl‐CoA transferase (TFT) were also examined and were found to increase significantly 1–4 d after inoculation. The possibility that the increased levels of free spermine, increased polyamine conjugates, and increased DAO and PAO activities are involved in development of the hypersensitive response of Delibes to powdery mildew infection is discussed.     

Polyamine metabolism and physiological responses of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Potamogeton crispus</Emphasis> leaves under lead stress

Aquatic macrophytes were found to be the potential scavengers of heavy metals from aquatic environment. In this study, influences of ladder concentration of lead (Pb) on the leaves of Potamogeton crispus Linn were studied after 7 days of treatment. The accumulation of Pb, nutrient element contents, the generation rate of superoxide radical (O₂^·−), MDA, proline, and polyamine (PAs) contents, as well as the activities of diamine oxidases (DAO), polyamine oxidases (PAO), arginine decarboxylase (ADC), and ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in P. crispus leaves were investigated. The result indicated that Pb treatment decreased the activity of DAO, whereas the proline content, MDA content, the generation rate of O₂^·− and the activity of ODC increased in different degrees. Meantime, Pb treatment significantly increased the free putrescine (Put) level and made other PAs levels dynamic changes. The activities of PAO and ADC were declined firstly and then enhanced with the increase in the Pb concentration.     

Spatial and temporal dynamics of peroxidase and amine oxidase activity is linked to polyamines and lignin in wheat grains

The regulation of contents and activities of peroxidase (POX), diamine oxidase (DAO) and polyamine oxidase (PAO) were determined in relation to polyamines and lignin content in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grains. Two cultivars WH 542 (heat susceptible) and PBW 343 (heat tolerant) were used. Activities of POX, DAO and PAO were substantially higher in PBW 343 as compared with WH 542 and appeared to be independently regulated. POX and PAO showed peak activities at mid-milky stage (15 d post anthesis) while the activity of DAO showed continuous decline. Histochemical localization of POX and PAO in situ revealed their presence in the chalazal cell walls, crease and seed coat. Substantially higher activities of enzymes in PBW 343 correlated well with a higher degree of lignification in the chalazal cells as compared to WH 542.     

Correlation of gibberellin-induced growth, polyamine levels and amine oxidases in epicotyl, root and leaf blade of barley seedlings

The potential role of diamine oxidase (DAO) and polyamine oxidase (PAO) in relation to polyamines was investigated in epicotyls, roots and leaf blades at 3 and 6 days after gibberellic acid (GA) application in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) seedlings of cvs. Maythorpe (non-mutant parent) and Golden Promise (semi-dwarf mutant). There was a significant increase in epicotyl and leaf-blade elongation rates in GA-treated seedlings of cv. Maythorpe as compared to cv. Golden Promise. DAO and PAO were detectable in all segments of the leaf blade, but the highest activities were present in basal segments. These enzymes, which are thought to have a role in the elimination of cellular polyamines, increased in activity following GA application compared to controls. Application of 10⁻⁶ M GA to the first leaf, significantly increased endogenous bound putrescine (Put) levels in both the epicotyl and leaf blade of cv. Maythorpe. In contrast, there was only a slight increase in cv. Golden Promise. Levels of soluble Put increased in roots and leaf blades of both cultivars following GA treatment but the effect was greatest in leaves of cv. Maythorpe. It is suggested that polyamines may play a role in GA-induced epicotyl and leaf-blade elongation in barley.
