海岸带复合梨园的光能分布与利用规律

采用方格法和分层法相结合的技术对江苏省如东县棉花原种场林网保护区内13年生梨园的树冠结构特征和光能分布与利用规律进行了系统研究。结果表明:梨树叶幕光能分布状况直接受叶面积系数、树冠结构、太阳位置及光强的影响。各层叶幕中的光合有效辐射(PAR)分布随自然光照条件的变化而改变,其日平均透光率大小和PAR日变化范围均从叶幕外围向内膛随累积叶面积系数(LAI)的增加而减弱;不同生长时期及不同天气变化下树冠光能分布存在明显的差异性;树冠结构与累积LAI对PAR的分布及利用率具有决定性的影响。在生产实践中,通过密度调控、整形修剪等农业技术措施,维持成年梨园盛果期高效光合生产的叶幕厚度在2.5m以上,有效LAI为4左右,是增强梨树光合生产能力、提高产量和品质的有效措施。     

亚热带季雨林植物罗伞气体交换对光质的反应

亚热带季雨林林下阴生植物罗伞(Ardisia quinquegona)叶片的气体交换速率(PN.μmol.m~(-2),s~(-1))随光强(PFD,μmol,m~(-2),s~(-1))增高而增大。在光强低于80μmol,m~(-2),s~(-1),PN=29.21PFD×10~(-3)+0.36。在光强150μmol,m~(-2),s~(-1)对出现气体交换的光饱和现象。在低光强下,气孔传导率(G,m mol,m~(-2),s~(-1)与光强(m mol,m~(-2),s~(-1)的关系为G=265.6 PFD+4.6。在低光强下。开阔地的阳生灌木桃金娘(Rhodmyrtus tomentosa)的气体交换速率和气孔传导率与光强关系曲线的直线部分斜率皆较罗伞的低,在红光上,罗伞叶片气体交换速率(μmol,m~(-2),s~(-1)与光强(μmol,m~(-2),s~(-1)的关系为PN=32.4 PFD×10~(-3)-0.04。气孔传导率(m mol,m~(-2),s~(-1)与光强(m mol,m~(-2),s~(-1)的关系为G=339.08 PFD+7.37。同时气体交换速率的饱和红光光强亦较白光的高。在蓝光光强低时,气体交换速率(μmol,m~(-2),s~(-1))与光强(μmol,m~(-2),s~(-1))的关系为PN=13.54 PFD×10~(-3)—0.17,而气孔传导率(m mol,m~(-2),s~(-1))与光强(mμmol,m~(-2),s~(-1))的关系为G=80.5 PFD+4.35。在低的蓝光下,体交换速率和气孔传导率与光强关系曲线的直线部分斜率显著较在白光和红光下的低。罗伞叶片气体交换对红光的反应敏感。     

不同CO2浓度下番茄幼苗叶片的光能利用效率

光能利用效率(LUE)是评价植物叶片光能利用能力的重要参数,更是影响生态系统生产力大小和质量的主要因素.本文基于植物光合作用对光响应的机理模型推导出植物叶片的光能利用效率模型以及叶片的最大光能利用效率(LUE_max)和对应的饱和光强(I_L-sat)的数学表达式,并用光能利用效率模型研究了番茄幼苗叶片在CO₂浓度分别为350、450、550和650 μmol·mol^-1下的光能利用效率.拟合结果表明: 所推导的叶片光能利用效率模型可以很好地描述4种CO₂浓度条件下番茄幼苗叶片的光能利用效率;在这4种CO₂浓度条件下,番茄的LUE_max在光合有效辐射(I)为70～90 μmol·m^-2·s^-1时就可以达到;番茄在CO₂浓度为550和650 μmol·mol^-1时叶片的LUE_max和I_L-sat没有差异.产生这种现象的原因可能是由于番茄幼苗长时间处于较低光强下,番茄幼苗叶片的光合功能已经适应了低光强环境,以致于高CO₂浓度难以改变它的捕光色素分子的内秉特性,如有效光能吸收截面以及处于激发态和基态色素的比例等.     

臭氧胁迫对冬小麦光响应能力及PSⅡ光能吸收与利用的影响

为准确评价O3胁迫对冬小麦光响应能力和PSⅡ光能吸收、分配与利用的影响,通过OTC设置了活性碳过滤空气(CF,4—28 nL/L)、不通风(5H,15—68 nL/L)、环境空气(NF,7—78 nL/L)、100nL/L O3 (CF100,96—108 nL/L)和150nL/L O3 (CF150,145—160nL/L) 等5种O3熏蒸处理,用IMAGING-PAM测量了冬小麦（丰抗13）扬花期的Fo、Fm及自然光下的快速光曲线。结果表明,O3胁迫显著降低了冬小麦PSⅡ的最大量子效率(Fv/Fm)、最大光合速率(Pm)、半饱和光强(Pm/α)、吸光系数(IA)、调节性热耗散的量子产额(Y(NPQ))和非光化学淬灭系数(NPQ),显著提高了冬小麦的初始光能利用效率(α)、非调节性热耗散的量子产额(Y(NO))和PSⅡ吸收光能的日累计损失（Daily ∑Y(NO)+ Daily ∑Y(NPQ)）;CF处理显著提高了冬小麦的Pm、α、Y(NPQ)、NPQ及PSⅡ日累计利用的光能（Daily ∑Y(Ⅱ)）;当其余4组的Y(NPQ)和NPQ趋于饱和时,NF仍在以较快的速率上升。O3胁迫显著降低了冬小麦吸收、利用光能的能力和光保护能力,改变了PSⅡ吸收光能的分配结构,提高了冬小麦对光强变化的敏感性,加剧了光抑制,致使冬小麦受到O3和过剩光能的双重伤害;CF处理下冬小麦的光合能力和光保护能力显著提高,但对强光的潜在耐受能力低于NF;固城的空气质量已对冬小麦造成一定影响,极可能导致产量损失。     

青藏高原药用植物唐古特山莨菪和唐古特大黄光合作用对强光的响应

与唐古特大黄相比,唐古特山莨菪的表观光合量子效率(AQY)较高,但最大净光合速率(Pmax)较低。在光强小于1200μmolm-2s-1时,后者用于碳同化的电子传递占总光合电子传递的比例(JC/JF)比前者高,而分配于光呼吸的电子传递(JO/JF)及Rubisco氧化和羧化速率的比值(VO/VC)则相反;光强大于1200μmolm-2s-1以后两种植物的这些参数都趋向稳定。随光强增加,后者叶片吸收光能分配于热耗散(D)的增加斜率较前者高,表明两高山植物对强辐射的适应方式略有不同。加强光呼吸途径的耗能代谢和PSII天线热耗散份额是唐古特山莨菪适应高原强辐射的主要方式,而提高叶片光合能力则是唐古特大黄的一种适应方式。     

低平均光强下波动光对铜绿微囊藻生长的影响

为了研究波动光对藻类的影响, 以典型水华藻种铜绿微囊藻Microcystis aeruginos为研究对象, 运用了基于单片机系统的光强控制实验装置, 开展了不同光照条件下铜绿微囊藻的生长研究。共设置了四种光照条件, 分别为不同周期波动光强FL(Fluctuating Light)组(10min FL、1h FL和6h FL)和平均光强AL(Average Light)组。实验结果表明, 在低平均光强下, 6h FL、1h FL和10min FL组铜绿微囊藻藻密度相对于AL组分别增加了28.3%(P<0.05)、18.2%(P<0.05)和7.7(P>0.05)。三组波动光强下铜绿微囊藻的比增长速率、F_v/F_m和rETR均显著大于平均光强组(P<0.05), 且随着波动光周期的增大, 各指标也会显著增加(P<0.05), 而热耗散NPQ平均值、单个细胞类胡萝卜素含量等指标与上述指标呈相反的规律并且差异显著(P<0.05)。结果也表明在低平均光强下, 相比于恒定光照, 铜绿微囊藻在波动光下能更好地调节自身光合作用机制去利用光能, 且波动周期越大, 铜绿微囊藻对光能利用效率越高。这暗示了低强度波动光可以作为提高藻类产量的一种手段。

A Comparative Study of Internal Light Environment in Bifacial Leaves of Different Plants

Parameters of light propagation in plant leaves — absorption and scattering coefficients, asymmetry of scattering — have been estimated on the basis of measured transmission and emission as well as internal fluxes. This estimation has been carried through by solving the inverse problem of the 4-flux radiative transfer — a theory considering forward and backward diffuse as well as directed components of the overall radiation in a multiple scattering sample. Using the gained parameters, light flux gradients in a two-layered model leaf have been calculated at different wavelengths. Monte Carlo simulation of absorption spectra performed with the parameters obtained with this treatment is in a good agreement with experimental spectra, thus substantiating the theory. Parallel calculations with the two-flux (Kubelka-Munk) theory provide an estimation of the accuracy and applicability of this more simple treatment. Calculations have been performed for three different plants: Catalpa bignonioides, Tilia americana and Vitis riparia.     

Dynamic Light Scattering Application to Study Protein Interactions in Electrolyte Solutions

The concentration dependence of the diffusion coefficient of particles suspended in solution depends primarily on the occupied volume fraction and on repulsive and attractive forces. This dependency is expressed by the interaction parameter, which can be assessed experimentally by light scattering measurements and have been determined for the diffusion coefficient of BSA under different salt concentration conditions in the present work. The result shows that the diffusion coefficient of protein grows up with increasing protein concentration, and when the ionic strength turns up gradually the diffusion coefficient decreases with protein concentrations increasing. The concentration dependence of BSA diffusion coefficients is interpreted in the context of a two-body potential of mean force, which includes repulsive hard-sphere and Coulombic interactions and attractive dispersion. With the increase of ionic strength, Debye screening decreases, protein interaction changes from repulsion to attraction, and protein begins to aggregate. By means of the concentration dependence of BSA diffusion coefficients, one can obtain the parameters of protein interactions and can find that protein bears a net effective charge of –9.0 e and has a Hamaker constant of 2.8k_BT. This work demonstrates that DLS is an effective technique of studying protein interactions.     

环形光瞳滤波径向偏振光紧聚焦特性研究

环形光瞳滤波常被用于径向偏振光聚焦系统,以实现焦斑压缩,进而提高共焦显微的横向分辨率。但是在对不同孔径的光瞳进行分析时缺乏比较的标准,无法进行定量的对比。本文对三种不同的光瞳孔径变化方式进行了定量对比研究,它们分别是:固定环角宽度,增大环孔径;固定环有效入射面积,增大环孔径;固定环形瞳外半径,改变遮光比。结果表明,不同模式下,焦平面处纵、横向场分布变化方式明显不同,只有当三者均为大孔径(大于1.1 rad)的窄光环时才基本等同。另外随着孔径的增大,纵、横向场之比也随之增大,说明孔径的增大可以抑制旁瓣光场。三种孔径增大方式均表明当窄环孔径角增大到1.26 rad时焦斑压缩将到达极限值0.4λ,与同数值孔径标量实心光束相比,窄环对焦斑压缩了1.6倍。     

Use of dynamic light scattering to determine second virial coefficient in a semidilute concentration regime

The present work discusses an alternative procedure to obtain static light scattering (SLS) parameters in a dilute and semidilute concentration regime from a dynamic light scattering (DLS) instrument that uses an avalanche photodiode (APD) for recording the scattered intensity signal. An APD enables one to perform both SLS and DLS measurements by photon counting and photon correlation, respectively. However, due to the associated recovery time, the APDs are susceptible to saturation (above 1000 kcps), which may limit the measurements in systems that scatter too much light. We propose an alternative way of obtaining the SLS parameters with instruments that use APD for recording signal intensities.     

Determination of membrane permeability to water from osmotically induced light-scattering changes of membrane vesicles: Analysis of the method

The kinetics of osmotically induced changes in vesicular volume and internal solute concentration were analyzed for membrane vesicles containing fixed quantity of impermeable osmoticum in the lumen. The kinetic curves of the concentration and volume changes were shown to be dissimilar. The average durations of these two processes may differ by several tens of percents, depending on the extent and polarity of the initially imposed osmotic gradient. For vesicles containing identical solutes in the internal and external solutions, the problem is analyzed of how the concentration and volume changes are manifested in changes of the effective scattering cross-section of the vesicle. The light scattering changes, directed oppositely to volume changes, were found to coincide roughly with the kinetics of volume changes. The analysis shows that calculations of water permeability coefficient should be based on average duration of volume changes rather than the duration of concentration changes. The replacement in calculations of the first parameter with the second one may result in overestimation of water permeability by a factor of 1.5. This might be relevant to the reported discrepancies in water permeability values determined by the osmotic and isotope methods. Although the allowance for 1.5-fold overestimation cannot fully account for the differences observed, it significantly lowers the discrepancy between these estimates in some cases. The opposite signs of light scattering and volume changes originate from the presence of two components in the optical path of the vesicle, i.e., the membrane and the lumenal solution.     

Limnology of two lake systems of Katmai National Park and Preserve, Alaska: Part II. Light penetration and Secchi depth

Seven large lakes in the Naknek River drainage and four in the Alagnak River drainage within the Katmai National Park and Preserve, Alaska, were surveyed once a summer during the period 1990–92 to determine baseline limnological conditions. All of the lakes are oligotrophic based on Secchi depth (SD) transparency and light penetration. Overall, SD transparency varied from 4.4 m to 17 m, the vertical light extinction coefficient (K _d) ranged from 0.411 m^-1 to 0.070 m^-1 and the depth of 1% light penetration (I_1%) varied from 11 m to 67 m. However, because of greater light scattering, the percent of photosynthetic radiation (PAR) at SD was nearly twice as much in Battle Lake (30.4%) and Naknek Lake (32.8%), compared with the other nine lakes (mean 16%). Consequently, the ratio of I_1% to SD was about 4 in these two lakes compared to a mean value of 2.6 for the other lakes. However, Battle Lake is a deep blue calcium sulfate lake with little phytoplankton, whereas Naknek Lake contains some inorganic glacial flour and volcanic ash, as well as planktonic algae, but where sampled exhibits minimal turbidity. Biomass of planktonic algae (indexed by total chlorophyll concentration) explained most of the variation in SD (r ²=0.66), K _d (r ²=0.75), and I _1% (r ²=0.85). In contrast, neither color nor turbidity were significant predictors of any optical variable. Considering all 11 lakes, there was a significant linear relationship between SD and both K _d (r ²=0.80) and I _1% (r ²=0.72); however, most of the unaccounted for variation was attributed to Battle Lake and Naknek Lake. Although changes in water transparency are often linked to changes in algal biomass (chlorophyll), simple measures of SD transparency alone may not be appropriate for assessing whole-scale watershed or regional changes toward oligotrophication or eutrophication in lakes of the remote and pristine Katmai National Park and Preserve.     

The likelihood of aggregation during protein renaturation can be assessed using the second virial coefficient

Protein aggregation is commonly observed during protein refolding. To better understand this phenomenon, the intermolecular interactions experienced by a protein during unfolding and refolding are inferred from second virial coefficient (SVC) measurements. It is accepted that a negative SVC is indicative of protein-protein interactions that are attractive, whereas a positive SVC indicates net repulsive interactions. Lysozyme denatured and reduced in guanidinium hydrochloride exhibited a decreasing SVC as the denaturant was diluted, and the SVC approached zero at approximately 3 M GdnHCl. Further dilution of denaturant to renaturation conditions (1.25 M GdnHCl) led to a negative SVC, and significant protein aggregation was observed. The inclusion of 500 mM L-arginine in the renaturation buffer shifted the SVC to positive and suppressed aggregation, thereby increasing refolding yield. The formation of mixed disulfides in the denatured state prior to refolding also increased protein solubility and suppressed aggregation, even without the use of L-arginine. Again, the suppression of aggregation was shown to be caused by a shift from attractive to repulsive intermolecular interactions as reflected in a shift from a negative to a positive SVC value. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that SVC data have been reported for renaturation studies. We believe this technique will aid in our understanding of how certain conditions promote renaturation and increase protein solubility, thereby suppressing aggregation. SVC measurements provide a useful link, for protein folding and aggregation, between empirical observation and thermodynamics.

Measuring protein self-association using pulsed-field-gradient NMR spectroscopy: Application to myosin light chain 2

Summary At the millimolar concentrations required for structural studies, NMR spectra of the calcium-binding protein myosin light chain 2 (MLC2) showed resonance line widths indicative of extensive self-association. Pulsed-field-gradient (PFG) NMR spectroscopy was used to examine whether MLC2 aggregation could be prevented by the zwitterionic bile salt derivative 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS). PFG NMR measurements indicated that CHAPS was capable of preventing MLC2 self-association, but only at concentrations well above the critical micelle concentration of 7.5 mM. CHAPS was most effective at a concentration of 22.5 mM, where the apparent molecular mass of MLC2 correponded to a protein monomer plus seven molecules of bound detergent. The resolution and sensitivity of 2D ¹⁵N-¹H HSQC spectra of MLC2 were markedly improved by the addition of 25 mM CHAPS, consistent with a reduction in aggregation following addition of the detergent. The average amide nitrogen T₂ value for MLC2 increased from 30 ms in the absence of CHAPS to 56 ms in the presence of 25 mM CHAPS. The results of this study lead us to propose that PFG NMR spectroscopy can be used as a facile alternative to conventional techniques such as analytical ultracentrifugation for examining the self-association of biological macromolecules.     

Interactions of lysozyme in guanidinium chloride solutions from static and dynamic light-scattering measurements

The interactions of partially unfolded proteins provide insight into protein folding and protein aggregation. In this work, we studied partially unfolded hen egg lysozyme interactions in solutions containing up to 7 M guanidinium chloride (GdnHCl). The osmotic second virial coefficient (B(22)) of lysozyme was measured using static light scattering in GdnHCl aqueous solutions at 20 degrees C and pH 4.5. B(22) is positive in all solutions, indicating repulsive protein-protein interactions. At low GdnHCl concentrations, B(22) decreases with rising ionic strength: in the absence of GdnHCl, B(22) is 1.1 x 10(-3) mLmol/g(2), decreasing to 3.0 x 10(-5) mLmol/g(2) in the presence of 1 M GdnHCl. Lysozyme unfolds in solutions at GdnHCl concentrations higher than 3 M. Under such conditions, B(22) increases with ionic strength, reaching 8.0 x 10(-4) mLmol/g(2) at 6.5 M GdnHCl. Protein-protein hydrodynamic interactions were evaluated from concentration-dependent diffusivity measurements, obtained from dynamic light scattering. At moderate GdnHCl concentrations, lysozyme interparticle interactions are least repulsive and hydrodynamic interactions are least attractive. The lysozyme hydrodynamic radius was calculated from infinite-dilution diffusivity and did not change significantly during protein unfolding. Our results contribute toward better understanding of protein interactions of partially unfolded states in the presence of a denaturant; they may be helpful for the design of protein refolding processes that avoid protein aggregation.
