盐胁迫下宁夏枸杞苯丙烷代谢相关基因差异表达分析北大核心CSCD

为探究盐胁迫条件下宁夏枸杞苯丙烷代谢相关基因差异表达规律,以不同浓度NaCl(0,100,200,300 mmol/L)处理的水培宁夏枸杞幼苗为研究材料,利用高通量测序技术和qRT-PCR对盐胁迫下宁夏枸杞苯丙烷代谢相关基因差异表达进行分析,同时对该途径中关键酶活性及产物含量进行测定。结果表明,(1)宁夏枸杞在不同浓度NaCl处理下共有58个苯丙烷代谢相关基因差异表达,且随着盐胁迫程度的增加大部分基因表达水平上调或不变;(2)随着NaCl浓度的增加,宁夏枸杞叶片抗氧化酶SOD、POD、CAT的活性均下降,而酚类物质、类黄酮和木质素的含量在100 mmol/L NaCl处理下均显著积累。研究发现,宁夏枸杞可能通过调控苯丙烷代谢相关基因上调表达,增加酚类物质、类黄酮和木质素的合成,来清除过多活性氧和提升细胞壁强度以适应盐胁迫;宁夏枸杞可耐受的NaCl浓度在100~200 mmol/L之间。     

燕麦盐胁迫响应基因的差异表达与生理响应的关系

以耐盐燕麦品种VAO-9为材料,通过Illumina测序与数字基因表达谱技术对300mmol/L NaCl处理前后的叶片cDNA文库进行RNA-Seq与DGE分析,同时测定0(CK)、100、200、250、300mmol/L NaCl胁迫下VAO-9幼苗叶片的相对电导率、丙二醛含量和脯氨酸含量,探讨燕麦盐胁迫响应基因的差异表达与生理响应的关系。结果表明:(1)RNA-Seq分析得到Unigenes 65 801条,其基因表达呈现高度的不均一性和冗余性;若差异基因表达谱鉴定分析以log2Ratio≥2且FDR值≤0.001为选择标准,则发现上调和下调表达基因在胁迫0.5h时分别有306和64个,在胁迫3h时分别有639和290个,胁迫24h时分别有1 488和882个。(2)KEGG代谢分析显示,有23 652条Unigenes比对到KEGG中的128条代谢途径,包括与逆境胁迫相关的植物激素信号转导途径、ABC转运蛋白途径、肌醇磷酸代谢途径、渗透调节途径等。(3)在300mmol/L NaCl处理下燕麦叶片的相对电导率、丙二醛含量、脯氨酸含量等生理指标的变化与相关差异表达基因的变化趋势基本一致,说明基因差异表达量与生理反应密切相关。研究认为,在相同的栽培及胁迫处理条件下,可根据植物盐响应生理指标的变化判断耐盐基因的表达情况。     

盐胁迫盐芥和拟南芥褪黑素含量及合成相关基因表达模式分析

盐生植物盐芥（Eutrema salsugineum）耐盐适应性强且具备模式植物特征,是研究植物逆境适应机理的理想材料。作为一种多功能的激素信号分子,褪黑素在盐芥耐盐性中的作用仍不清楚。本研究以盐芥为主要材料,以拟南芥做对比,主要通过褪黑素酶联免疫以及实时荧光定量PCR分析,比较了二者在不同组织中褪黑素的积累和在响应盐胁迫过程中褪黑素合成、相关基因的表达模式以及外源褪黑素处理对其盐应答表型的影响。结果显示,两种植物的褪黑素合成均在幼叶中最高,盐芥本底褪黑素合成水平显著高于拟南芥,且盐胁迫诱导了两种植物中的褪黑素含量,但不同于盐芥,拟南芥在处理7 d后褪黑素合成明显下降。通过序列比对发现在不同植物中,盐芥和拟南芥褪黑素合成相关基因的亲缘关系较近。盐应答表达分析显示,盐芥SNAT1、ASMT和COMT在盐处理3 d表达上调,而拟南芥中的相关基因在处理1 d和3 d后受盐诱导,7 d后拟南芥中表达下降而盐芥中则无明显变化,表明两种植物相关基因响应盐信号的表达变化存在差异。此外,外源褪黑素处理明显缓解了两种植物在盐逆境下的胁迫表型。综上,褪黑素有效贡献于盐芥抗盐性,参与调节盐芥和拟南芥的耐盐适...     

外源脯氨酸对盐胁迫下甜瓜脯氨酸代谢的影响

为探明外源脯氨酸对盐胁迫下甜瓜脯氨酸代谢的影响,以甜瓜品种‘雪美’为材料采用营养液栽培,对盐胁迫(100mmol·L-1 NaCl)、盐胁迫下添加外源脯氨酸(100mmol·L-1 NaCl+0.2mmol·L-1 Proline)以及对照3种处理后甜瓜幼苗叶片脯氨酸(Pro)含量、吡咯啉-5-羧酸合成酶(P5CS)、鸟氨酸转氨酶(OAT)和脯氨酸脱氢酶(ProDH)活性进行测定,并对OAT和ProDH基因进行克隆及半定量表达分析。结果显示:与对照相比较,盐胁迫条件下甜瓜幼苗叶片内Pro含量显著增加,P5CS活性增幅大于OAT活性,OAT基因表达量大部分时段内没有增加,ProDH活性下降,ProDH基因表达量减少;盐胁迫下添加外源脯氨酸进一步使幼苗叶片内Pro含量增加、OAT、ProDH活性提高、P5CS活性降低,并且使OAT基因表达量迅速增加、ProDH基因表达量先增加后回落。研究表明,盐胁迫条件下,甜瓜幼苗体内脯氨酸积累主要是通过增强脯氨酸的谷氨酸合成途径和抑制脯氨酸降解来实现;适量外源脯氨酸可以增强盐胁迫幼苗脯氨酸的鸟氨酸合成途径,但对谷氨酸合成途径有一定的抑制作用;通过调节合成和降解2种代谢途径进一步提高了脯氨酸含量,从而增强甜瓜幼苗耐盐胁迫能力。     

小麦根系在碱胁迫下的生理代谢反应

为明确碱胁迫对小麦(Triticum aestivum)根系离子组及代谢组的影响,探讨其响应变化规律及机制,该研究以小麦为实验材料,采用两种碱性盐(Na HCO3和Na2CO3)按摩尔比1:1混合模拟不同碱胁迫强度,利用气相色谱-质谱联用(GC-MS)技术结合多元变量分析方法,系统分析小麦根系在碱胁迫下的矿质元素、游离阴离子、代谢产物及代谢途径变化。结果显示:低浓度碱胁迫下小麦根系仍能维持一定的生长,但在高浓度碱胁迫下根系生长受到了明显抑制。当碱胁迫强度超过小麦根系调节能力时,根系中Na含量急剧增加的同时K含量明显减少。碱胁迫刺激根中Ca积累,而Mg、Cu和Fe含量呈现下降趋势。碱胁迫明显减少根中游离阴离子(主要是Cl–)含量。检测代谢物组包括有机酸、氨基酸、碳水化合物、嘧啶和嘌呤等70个代谢产物,主成分分析结果表明代谢物均分布在95%的置信区间内。碱胁明显迫促进苹果酸、琥珀酸等代谢物积累,但造成糖类(果糖、蔗糖)及多元醇(肌醇、山梨糖醇)和氨基酸(γ-氨基丁酸、丙氨酸)含量显著下降。结果表明:根系中Na+含量剧增,加上高pH值危害,导致根系生长率降低;与此同时,游离阴离子明显减少,造成根系内负电荷亏缺和pH不稳定,导致离子平衡遭到破坏,进而引起一系列代谢途径的协变反应。小麦根系在碱胁迫下糖酵解、细胞膜脂代谢和氨基酸合成受到明显的抑制,但三羧酸循环显著增强。这些结果表明碱胁迫(高pH值)对碳素合成和储存有明显的负效应,降低代谢合成碳骨架和能量,使得清除活性氧能力明显下降。碱胁迫下根外部质子缺乏造成NO3–含量降低,影响氮素吸收利用,导致氨基酸合成受阻。三羧酸循环增强为生成有机酸类化合物和调控pH平衡提供能量,这可能是植物适应碱胁迫的一种特殊对应策略。

钙离子对盐胁迫小麦幼苗氮代谢的影响

为探讨增强小麦抗盐能力的调控途径,以普通小麦豫麦34为材料,研究了Ca2+对盐胁迫下小麦幼苗氮代谢及生长的影响.采用全营养液培养小麦幼苗至第一片叶完全展开,更换无钙营养液,并开始不同处理.处理分别为低盐胁迫(150 mmol · L-1 NaCl)、低盐胁迫+4 mmol · L-1 Ca2+、高盐胁迫(300 mmol · L-1 NaCl)、高盐胁迫+4mmol · L-1 Ca2+,以无NaCl胁迫的小麦为对照.5 d后取样,测定了氮同化酶活性、代谢物含量、积累量及幼苗生长状况.结果表明,Ca2+明显缓解了低盐胁迫对小麦幼苗的生长抑制,表现在鲜重、叶绿素及可溶性蛋白含量的增加,而对高盐胁迫下小麦幼苗的生长无明显改善效果;Ca2+改善了低盐胁迫下小麦幼苗的氮营养状况,表现在氮积累量的增加,这一效应主要是通过硝酸还原酶(NR)、谷氨酰胺合成酶(GS)以及异柠檬酸脱氢酶(NADP-ICDH)活性的增强而实现的.Ca2+未能改善高盐胁迫下小麦幼苗氮营养状况的主要限制因子在于NADP-ICDH活性未明显增加.     

盐胁迫对拟南芥和盐芥莲座叶芥子油苷含量的影响

芥子油苷是十字花科植物中一类含氮、含硫的次生代谢产物,与其水解产物在植物防御功能中有重要意义且与环境因子关系密切。以模式植物拟南芥（Arabidopsis thaliana）和盐生模式植物盐芥（Thellungiella halophila）为研究对象,系统地分析了盐胁迫下二者芥子油苷组成和含量的变化规律。拟南芥（生长4周）和盐芥（生长6周）叶片的芥子油苷组成在盐胁迫后没有改变。拟南芥的芥子油苷总量、脂肪族芥子油苷总量、吲哚族芥子油苷总量受盐胁迫的影响均不显著,而盐芥的则随盐胁迫增强先减少、后增加并高于对照水平。拟南芥脂肪族的3MSOP、5MSOP和吲哚族的4OHI3M、4MOI3M随盐胁迫增强而含量降低,而脂肪族的6MSOH、吲哚族的I3M以及盐芥脂肪族的3MSOP则随盐胁迫增强有含量增加的趋势。拟南芥脂肪族的8MSOO和吲哚族的1MOI3M,盐芥脂肪族的3MTP、Allyl、10MSD和吲哚族的4MOI3M,在盐胁迫下的含量变化与盐芥芥子油苷总量的变化趋势一致。     

外源水杨酸对盐胁迫下小桐子幼苗脯氨酸代谢的影响

以小桐子幼苗为材料,设置盐胁迫(200mmol·L-1 NaCl)和外源水杨酸处理(0~2.0mmol·L-1 SA)水培试验,通过检测幼苗叶片脯氨酸含量、脯氨酸代谢关键酶活性及相关代谢酶基因的表达水平,研究了外源水杨酸对盐胁迫下小桐子幼苗脯氨酸代谢机理的影响。结果显示:(1)外源0.9mmol·L-1 SA处理可显著提高盐胁迫下小桐子幼苗的脯氨酸含量,上调脯氨酸合成关键酶Δ1-吡咯琳-5-羧酸合成酶(P5CS)和鸟氨酸转氨酶(OAT)活性,以及上调JcP5CS和JcOAT基因的表达水平。(2)SA也显著抑制了脯氨酸降解酶ProDH的活性及JcProDH基因的表达水平。(3)SA处理还显著提高了盐胁迫下小桐子幼苗的组织活力,降低了叶片电解质渗漏率和丙二醛(MDA)含量。研究发现,外源SA可通过活化脯氨酸合成的谷氨酸途径和鸟氨酸途径,以及抑制脯氨酸的降解途径来促进盐胁迫下小桐子幼苗脯氨酸的积累;外源SA处理也可提高小桐子幼苗的耐盐性,且这种提高可能与SA诱导脯氨酸的积累密切相关。     

盐芥miRNAs耐盐表达研究

以盐生植物盐芥为实验材料,选择经过Solexa测序筛选的盐芥tsa-miR172a和tsa-miR398b为目标基因,采用茎环的反转录PCR(stem-loop RT-PCR)方法分析其在盐芥根中的耐盐表达模式,以探讨盐芥miRNAs的stem-loop RT-PCR验证体系。结果显示,经过300mmol.L-1 NaCl处理72h后,与对照相比,盐芥根中的tsa-miR172a上调表达,tsa-miR398b下调表达。用stem-loop RT-PCR方法进行tsa-miR172a和tsa-miR398b扩增,对其电泳图进行光密度分析结果显示,盐胁迫处理与对照的比值分别为1.8和0.55,Solexa测序结果分别为2.00和0.44,说明两种方法所得结果基本一致。表明该研究建立了盐芥miRNAs的stem-loop RT-PCR验证体系:每个miRNA设计3个引物(miRNA stem-loop引物、miRNA正向引物和miRNA通用反向引物);扩增条件为94℃2min,94℃15s,55℃45s,23个循环。     

盐胁迫对4种短命植物种子萌发及植株生长的影响

以新疆北部4种十字花科短命植物为材料,研究不同浓度NaCl胁迫下其种子萌发及植株生长特性,以明确它们的耐盐性强弱。结果显示:(1)随着NaCl浓度的增加,4种植物种子萌发率、萌发指数和相对萌发率均不同程度下降,而相对盐害率则逐渐升高,并以绵果荠的耐盐性最好,其在300 mmol.L-1NaCl胁迫下仍有22.22%的萌发率。(2)4种植物的生长在50~150 mmol.L-1NaCl胁迫下没有受到明显抑制,在200 mmol.L-1浓度下受不同程度的抑制,而在300 mmol.L-1NaCl胁迫下抑制作用更严重,其中绵果荠在各浓度处理下长势均最好,能够在300 mmol.L-1NaCl胁迫下存活10 d。(3)在盐胁迫条件下,4种植物细胞质膜透性不同程度增加,而叶片相对含水量和光合色素含量均不同程度降低,并以绵果荠各项指标的变化幅度最小。可见,4种新疆短命植物种子萌发和植株生长均受到盐胁迫的伤害,但它们的耐盐阈值明显不同,并以绵果荠的耐盐性最强。

Inductive responses of some organic metabolites for osmotic homeostasis in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) seedlings during salt stress

The salt tolerance of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) seedlings was evaluated by analyzing growth, nutrient uptake, electrolyte leakage, lipid peroxidation and alterations in levels of some organic metabolites under NaCl stress. The plant height, leaf area and plant biomass decreased significantly in salt-treated seedlings as compared with control. The relative water content (RWC %) of leaf decreased by 16 % at high concentrations of NaCl. There was an increase in the lipid peroxidation level and decrease in the electrolyte leakage at high concentrations of NaCl. The total free amino acid and proline contents of leaf increased by 5.5- and 43-folds, respectively in 150 mM NaCl-treated plants as compared with control. Total sugar and starch content increased significantly at high concentrations of NaCl. Chl a, Chl b, total chlorophyll and carotenoid contents decreased significantly at high salinity. Na⁺ contents of leaf, stem and root increased in dose-dependent manner. K⁺ content remained unaffected in leaf and root and decreased in stem by salinity. The results from present study reveal that the peanut plants have an efficient adaptive mechanism to tolerate high salinity by maintaining adequate leaf water status associated with growth restriction. In order to circumvent the stress resulting from high salinity, the levels of some organic metabolites such as total free amino acids, proline, total sugars and starch were elevated. The elevated levels of the organic metabolites may possibly have some role in maintenance of osmotic homeostasis, nutrient uptake and adequate tissue water status in peanut seedlings under high-salinity conditions.     

Cloning and characterization of TsMT3, a type 3 metallothionein gene from salt cress (Thellungiella salsuginea).

A full-length type 3 plant metallothionein cDNA was isolated from 200 mM NaCl stressed shoots of the salt cress (Thellungiella salsuginea). The 447 bp TsMT3 cDNA sequence has a 207 bp open reading frame (ORF) and encodes a deduced 69 residue peptide of molecular weight 7.52 kDa. Southern blot analysis indicates that, there is only one copy of TsMT3 in the T. salsuginea genome. The accumulation of TsMT3 mRNA is enhanced by the stress imposed by PEG6000, 200 mM NaCl, 50 microM ABA, 4 degrees C, 40 microM CuSO(4) or 25 microM CdCl2. The expression vector pET28-TsMT3 was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli to define the contribution of TsMT3 to heavy metal tolerance. In the presence of 2 mM CuSO4, 0.3 mM Pb(NO3)2 or 0.4 mM CdCl2, TsMT3 expressing cells exhibited enhanced metal tolerance and accumulated more metal than the controls. We believe that TsMT3 is probably involved in the processes of metal homeostasis, tolerance, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging.     

外源海藻糖对小麦幼苗耐盐性的影响

以盐敏感小麦品种鲁麦15为材料,分别用完全Hoagland营养液、150mmol／L NaCl和150mmol／L NaCl 10mmol／L海藻糖处理小麦幼苗,测定小麦幼苗生长、离子含量、根系质膜H^ -ATPase、SOD活性、MDA含量等指标,旨在探讨外源海藻糖在抗盐性中的作用。结果表明：外源海藻糖可明显缓解盐胁迫对小麦幼苗生长的抑制作用;明显提高NaCl胁迫条件下小麦幼苗叶片中K^ 的含量,降低Na^ 的含量,降低其Na^ ／K^ ;提高NaCl胁迫条件下小麦幼苗SOD活性,降低MDA的含量,降低细胞质膜透性,缓解根系质膜H^ -ATPase活性抑制。以上结果表叫外源海藻糖可能通过增加活性氧清除能力、缓解质膜伤害、维持胞质离子稳态提高植物抗盐性。     

Scion and Rootstock Effects on ABA-mediated Plant Growth Regulation and Salt Tolerance of Acclimated and Unacclimated Potato Genotypes

Tolerance of salt stress in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) increased when the plants were pre-exposed to low concentrations of salt (salt acclimation). This acclimation was accompanied by increased levels of abscisic acid (ABA) in the shoot. To further study the role of roots and shoots in this acclimation process, reciprocal grafts were made between a salt-tolerant (9506) and salt-sensitive ABA(−) mutant and its ABA(+) normal sibling potato genotype. The grafted plants were acclimated with 75 or 100 mM NaCl for 3 weeks and then exposed to 150–180 mM NaCl, depending on the salt tolerance of the rootstock. After 2 weeks of exposure to the salt stress, the acclimated and unacclimated plants were compared for physiologic and morphologic parameters. The response to the salt stress was strongly influenced by the rootstock. The salt-tolerant 9506 rootstock increased the salt tolerance of scions of both the ABA-deficient mutant and its ABA(+) sibling. This salt tolerance induced by the rootstock was primarily modulated by salt acclimation and manifested in the scion via increased plant water content, stem diameter, dry matter accumulation, stomatal conductivity, and osmotic potential, and is associated with a reduction in leaf necrosis. There was also a pronounced scion effect on the rootstock. Using 9506 as a scion significantly increased root fresh and dry weights, stem diameter, and root water content of ABA(−) mutant rootstocks. Specific evidence was found of the role of exogenous ABA in the enhancement of water status in grafted plants under salt stress beyond that of grafting alone. This was verified by more positive stomatal conductivity and upward water flow in ABA-treated grafted and nongrafted plants and the absence of upward water flow in nontreated grafted plants through NMR imaging. Grafting using either salt-tolerant scions or rootstocks with inherently high ABA levels may positively modify subsequent responses of the plant under salt stress.     

Ion allocation in two different salt-tolerant Mediterranean Medicago species

The relationship between Na+, major cation concentrations and salt tolerance under long-term saline conditions of Medicago arborea and Medicago citrina was studied. Plants were grown in solution culture in 1, 50, 100, or 200 mmol/L NaCl for 30 days in a climate-controlled greenhouse. Stem and petiole growth was the most affected by salt in both species. Leaf growth was inhibited in M. arborea, with increased salt, while only the 200 mmol/L NaCl-treated M. citrina plants were significantly affected. Both species had the highest Na+ concentrations in the shoots, however, the allocation pattern was different; M. arborea showed the highest concentrations in the leaf blades, whereas M. citrina distributed the salt into the petioles. K+/Na+ ratio decreased with salt in both species; however, leaf K+ use efficiency (g leaf DW mg-1 leaf K+) was higher in M. citrina. The difference in Na+ allocation and cation concentrations found in these medic species and their importance is discussed in relation to their response to NaCl salinity.     

Arabidopsis sos1 mutant in a salt-tolerant accession revealed an importance of salt acclimation ability in plant salt tolerance

An analysis of the salinity tolerance of 354 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions showed that some accessions were more tolerant to salt shock than the reference accession, Col-0, when transferred from 0 to 225 mM NaCl. In addition, several accessions, including Zu-0, showed marked acquired salt tolerance after exposure to moderate salt stress. It is likely therefore that Arabidopsis plants have at least two types of tolerance, salt shock tolerance and acquired salt tolerance. To evaluate a role of well-known salt shock tolerant gene SOS1 in acquired salt tolerance, we isolated a sos1 mutant from ion-beam-mutagenized Zu-0 seedlings. The mutant showed severe growth inhibition under salt shock stress owing to a single base deletion in the SOS1 gene and was even more salt sensitive than Col-0. Nevertheless, it was able to survive after acclimation on 100 mM NaCl for 7 d followed by 750 mM sorbitol for 20 d, whereas Col-0 became chlorotic under the same conditions. We propose that genes for salt acclimation ability are different from genes for salt shock tolerance and play an important role in the acquisition of salt or osmotic tolerance.     

碱蓬属植物耐盐机理研究进展

碱蓬属(Suaeda)植物是一类典型的真盐生植物,属于重要的盐生植物资源,全球广泛分布.人们已经对20种碱蓬属植物进行了观察和盐胁迫实验,研究了不同器官或组织的生理生化特征及其对盐胁迫的反应,并基于这些研究分析了盐胁迫的应答机制.叶片肉质化、细胞内离子区域化、渗透调节物质增加和抗氧化系统能力增强是碱蓬属植物响应和适应盐胁迫的重要方式和途径.但迄今为止的研究工作尚有一定的局限性,主要包括:研究工作主要集中在植物地上部分,而对植物地下部分的研究较少;多是少数生物学指标或生理学现象的单独观察,而缺乏对生理代谢过程的整体和综合分析;针对某种碱蓬的独立分析较多,而与近缘种的比较研究较少;植物对中性盐胁迫的反应研究较多,而对碱性盐的研究较少.为进一步系统阐明碱蓬属植物的耐盐机制,今后的工作应注重碱蓬属植物响应和适应盐胁迫的信号网络和调控机制研究,基于系统生物学研究思路,采用现代组学技术探索该属植物响应盐胁迫的由复杂信号网络调控的特殊生理特征和特异代谢途径.
