冬季融冻过程中白三叶叶片抗氧化酶活力和渗透调节物含量变化与抗冻性的关系

入冬气温大幅变化引起的冻融既是抗冻植物抗冻力形成的重要阶段也是非抗冻植物大量死亡的主要原因,但是抗冻植物为何能在冬季融冻条件下生存的生理机理尚不清楚。以生长在烟台地区抗冻白三叶(Trifolium repens)为材料,分析研究了不同微生态环境下生长的白三叶在冬季融冻过程中叶片抗氧化物酶活性、渗透调节物含量、丙二醛和细胞膜透性的变化,以了解它们在白三叶抗冻中的作用。结果表明:在气温突然下降至零度以下(融-冻阶段),三样地白三叶叶片冻结,叶片细胞膜透性在经历短暂下降后迅速急剧增加2倍,MDA含量增加85%,叶片中脯氨酸和蛋白质含量、抗氧化酶(过氧化氢酶(CAT)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD))活力增加。在气温上升至日均温零度以上(冻-融阶段), 叶片开始融化,白三叶叶片膜透性、丙二醛和脯氨酸含量、POD和CAT活力先增加后降低,SOD活力和蛋白质含量持续增加。由此可见,快速增强的抗氧化物酶活力和快速增加的渗透调节物及时清除氧自由基防止细胞内膜脂过氧化保护了细胞膜的完整性而使细胞能在冷冻条件下生存,这可能是白三叶能在反复融冻过程中正常生长的重要生理机理。     

白三叶和红三叶对人工融冻胁迫的生理响应差异

采用人工模拟融冻胁迫方法,通过测定白三叶(Trifolium repens)和红三叶(T.prat-ense)在融冻胁迫中叶片细胞膜透性、MDA含量、抗氧化酶(SOD、POD、CAT)活力、渗透调节物(脯氨酸、可溶性糖和蛋白质)含量变化,以揭示未来气候变化对三叶草的影响。结果表明,经历融冻胁迫循环后抗冻力强的白三叶植株能恢复生长,而抗冻力弱的红三叶枯萎死亡。在融冻阶段,两三叶草叶片细胞膜透性增大、抗氧化酶活力增高、MDA和渗透调节物含量大幅增加;在冻融阶段,两三叶草叶片细胞膜透性降低、MDA含量下降、抗氧化酶活力降低。但在融冻胁迫循环中,白三叶叶片POD和CAT活力高于红三叶,脯氨酸含量较红三叶高5倍,但细胞膜透性低于红三叶。白三叶在-5℃抗逆生理指标达到最大值,而红三叶在-10℃。白三叶对环境温度变化反应敏感,在-5℃通过快速激活抗氧化酶系统和积累渗透调节物以抑制膜脂过氧化和维护细胞水分平衡在融冻适应上起重要作用。白三叶具有较强的抗融冻能力,是未来值得应用推广的优良园林绿化植物。     

白三叶不同叶龄叶片对不同季节温度适应的生理调控机理

对不同季节白三叶(Trifolium repens)不同叶龄叶片(幼叶、中叶和老叶)抗氧化酶(SOD、POD和CAT)活力、渗透调节物(可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白和游离脯氨酸)含量、MDA含量和叶绿素含量进行分析,揭示白三叶不同叶龄叶片对不同季节温度适应的生理调控机理和白三叶叶片短寿在维护匍匐茎生长中的生态作用。结果表明:(1)冬季低温生出的幼叶MDA含量较低,而叶绿素a、POD和SOD活力、可溶性糖和脯氨酸含量均最高;夏季高温生出的幼叶MDA和叶绿素b含量较高,而POD和SOD活力、可溶性糖和脯氨酸含量较低。白三叶幼叶具有较强的生理调控可塑性以适应冬夏季温度。(2)不同季节幼叶成长过程中,其生理调控模式相近,随叶片长大成熟,叶绿素含量和SOD、POD、CAT活力及脯氨酸和可溶性糖含量均增高,而MDA含量降低。(3)不同季节老化叶片生理特征相同,叶片中可溶性糖和脯氨酸含量趋于增高,CAT活力及MDA含量均下降。研究表明,抗氧化酶和渗透调节物通过维护氧自由基代谢和水分代谢平衡而在幼叶适应不同季节温度、叶片快速生长中起重要保护作用。不同季节叶片抗氧化能力下降和持续积累的脯氨酸、可溶性糖抑制光合作用可能是叶片衰老和短寿的诱因。不同季节匍匐茎上叶片的短寿、快速衰老可使匍匐茎将能量物质分配给其顶部,促进匍匐茎顶部幼叶萌生和匍匐茎的延伸生长及种群的扩散,其在维护白三叶植株持续生存中具有重要的调控作用。     

氮肥、钙肥和盐处理在冬小麦融冻胁迫适应中的生理调控作用

采用盆栽法种植冬小麦(烟农19号),在出苗7d后分别用氮肥(60mmol/L NH4CO3)、钙肥(100 mmol/L CaCl2)和NaCl(100 mmol/L)处理,生长30 d后开始冻融处理(15℃,0℃,-15℃,0℃,15℃各处理3h).结果表明,在融冻和冻融胁迫过程中冬小麦叶片细胞膜透性变化和膜脂过氧化程度与温度变化呈显著负相关(R=-0.89**,R=-0.85**).与对照相比,经氮肥、钙肥和盐处理的冬小麦叶片细胞膜透性和丙二醛含量较低,而SOD、CAT和POD活力均较高,这表明施肥能降低细胞膜脂过氧化作用,提高细胞膜抗氧化能力.但不同肥料和盐处理在冬小麦融冻胁迫中对渗透调节物质的调节作用存在差异.施氮肥使冬小麦叶片脯氨酸和可溶性蛋白质含量分别高于对照44.3％和23.6％,可溶性糖含量低于对照(-17.3％);而钙肥和盐处理却使冬小麦叶片可溶性糖含量高于对照(57.5％和37.1％).研究表明,氮肥通过调节氮代谢提高脯氨酸和蛋白质含量,钙肥通过促进糖代谢提高可溶性糖含量.因此,冬季给冬小麦幼苗施一定的混合肥,不仅可促使植物细胞积累较多的渗透调节物质防止细胞结冰,激活体内保护酶系统防止细胞膜脂过氧化,而且施肥还可促使来年春季幼苗的快速返青健壮生长.通过合理施肥改善植物的代谢提高作物的抗融冻能力,这可能是目前投资少,见效快的有效途径.     

海滨沙滩单叶蔓荆对沙埋的生理响应特征

海滨沙滩单叶蔓荆(Vitex trifolia L.var.simplicifolia)是优良的抗沙埋地被植物.以烟台海岸沙地单叶蔓荆为材料,通过不同厚度沙埋过程中沙上和沙下叶片抗逆生理指标的测定以揭示其抗沙埋生理调控机制.结果表明,轻度和中度沙埋5d,成株和幼株整株叶片细胞膜透性增大、POD和SOD活力增高、MDA和脯氨酸含量和叶片相对含水量(RWC)增加、可溶性糖含量下降.但同株沙上叶片细胞膜透性、MDA含量、SOD和POD活力和可溶性糖含量均高于沙下,而沙上叶片脯氨酸含量低于沙下叶片.在轻度和中度沙埋lOd,沙上叶片细胞膜透性、MDA和可溶性糖含量、叶片POD活力降低,叶片SOD活力仍有小幅度增高,但脯氨酸含量增加,沙上叶片生长旺盛.研究表明,沙埋下叶片抗氧化酶活力和脯氨酸含量与细胞膜透性和膜脂过氧化成正相关.沙埋使植株上部叶片接近沙表面而经受干旱和地面热辐射胁迫引起细胞膜脂过氧化加剧和细胞膜透性加大.同时沙埋也使沙下叶片遭遇黑暗和缺氧胁迫诱导细胞内膜脂过氧化,但也激活了叶片抗氧化酶保护系统和叶片脯氨酸的积累抑制细胞膜脂过氧化维护细胞膜的稳定.因此在沙埋过程中,叶片快速响应沙埋胁迫激活叶片抗氧化酶系统抑制膜脂过氧化作用维持氧自由基和抗氧化酶系统的动态平衡在单叶蔓荆适应轻度和中度沙埋,维护沙上叶片旺盛生长中起重要作用,也是重度全埋下沙下植株茎顶端能快速延伸弯曲生长最后顶出沙面再生的主要生理保护原因.     

冬小麦抗氧化酶对冬季节律性日变温和非节律性变温的响应

通过对冬季室内和室外分别生长30d的冬小麦在节律性和非节律性融冻变温过程中抗氧化酶活力和渗透调解物含量变化的分析,揭示其在冬小麦适应日融冻胁迫中的作用。结果表明:生育期不同的室内(均温11℃,拔节期)和室外(均温1℃,分蘖静滞期)冬小麦叶片抗氧化酶和脯氨酸对日光强和温度节律变化的响应趋势是一致的,即随日出而增高,中午气温较高时最高,日落而降低;在非节律性变温处理中,室外冬小麦抗氧化酶活力和脯氨酸含量随气温上升至18℃而增高,气温迅速下降到-2.5℃而降低,经历冻-融-冻胁迫冬小麦生长良好。室内冬小麦抗氧化酶活力随气温降低到-6℃,叶片结冻,迅速下降,气温升高到18℃而增加,经历融-冻-融胁迫后植株死亡;室外冬小麦光合速率(Pn)和比室内的低,而抗氧化酶活力高于室内;冬小麦快速提高抗氧化酶活力和脯氨酸含量,抑制氧自由基积累、维护细胞水分平衡,这在适应冬季节律性融冻胁迫中起重要作用;暖冬中冬小麦较高的Pn和较低的抗氧化酶活力可能是引起冬小麦在"倒春寒"中死亡的生理原因。     

越冬期间高羊茅叶片和根颈的抗冻性与碳水化合物和脯氨酸含量的关系

随着冬季气温的降低,高羊茅叶片、根颈中可溶性糖类和脯氨酸含量逐渐上升,抗冻性逐渐增强;春季气温逐渐回升时,两者含量则缓慢地减少,抗冻性逐渐减弱.半致死温度(LT50)与总可溶性糖、脯氨酸含量之间呈极显著负相关.     

强风沙流吹袭对樟子松幼苗生长特性及其逆境生理特征的影响

为了解樟子松幼苗对强风沙流不同时间吹袭的生理生态响应,2013年春季在内蒙古科尔沁沙地研究了8级大风下强风沙流(风速18 m·s-1,风沙流强度173 g·cm-1·min-1)吹袭10、20和30 min樟子松幼苗生长特性和一些生理指标的变化。结果表明:随着风吹时间增加,其株高生长速率下降,茎粗和冠幅生长加快,叶色发黄脱落量增加;与非风吹对照(CK)相比,30 min风吹处理的株高增长量下降52.6%,茎粗增长量、冠幅增长量和叶色发黄脱落量分别增加251.9%、256.0%和466.7%;随风吹时间增加,叶片相对含水量(RWC)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性下降,丙二醛(MDA)含量、膜透性、过氧化物酶(POD)活性、可溶性糖和脯氨酸含量趋于增加;与CK相比,30 min风吹处理的RWC下降4.1%,MDA和膜透性分别增加10.3%和9.3%,SOD活性下降1.9%,POD活性、可溶性糖和脯氨酸含量分别增加55.5%、26.4%和50.0%。结果说明,强风沙流持续吹袭造成樟子松幼苗水分胁迫,使其高生长受抑,部分叶片发黄脱落,叶片膜脂过氧化加剧,细胞膜受损,为适应强风沙流吹袭,樟子松幼苗加快了茎粗和冠幅生长,通过增加POD活性和可溶性糖、脯氨酸含量以减轻细胞膜伤害,维持细胞正常膨压。

土壤水分胁迫对燕麦叶片渗透调节物质含量的影响

以旱棚内盆栽的'内农大莜一号'燕麦品种为材料,测定了其不同水分胁迫下各生育期叶片的脯氨酸、可溶性糖含量和细胞膜相对透性,分析土壤含水量对燕麦叶片渗透调节物质的影响,以明确燕麦不同生育时期的抗旱特性.结果表明:(1)随着土壤相对含水率的下降,燕麦各生育期叶片脯氨酸含量、可溶性糖含量、细胞膜相对透性均呈上升趋势.(2)随着生育期的推进,燕麦叶片脯氨酸含量在30%和45%土壤含水量下呈持续上升趋势,而在含水量 60%、75%、90%处理下则于生育前期上升,灌浆期略有下降;随着生育期的延续,可溶性糖的含量呈先升后降的抛物线型变化,且其最大值随水分胁迫强度增加而提前,含水量 30%和45%处理的最大值均出现在拔节期,含水量60%和75%处理则分别出现在孕穗期和开花期;随着生育期的延续,各处理燕麦叶片的细胞膜相对透性均呈持续上升趋势.可见,水分胁迫能诱导燕麦叶片渗透调节物质的积累,且增幅随着胁迫强度的增加而上升,从而使燕麦表现出较强的抗旱性.     

Fixation and transfer of nitrogen in a white clover-grass sward under hill conditions

Experiments are described to illustrate the different effect of defoliation and diurnal changes in light intensity and temperature on grazed white clover (Trifolium repens) ecotypes and pot grown clover. Removing all the fully expanded leaves from grazed clover has no effect on nodule numbers or on nitrogen fixing activity during the phase of early season rapid growth. No diurnal rhythm in nitrogen fixing activity is apparent in grazed clover swards. Isotope dilution experiments demonstrate that in the first half of the growing season underground transfer of nitrogen is low in cut plots in a previously grazed hill situation. The results are briefly described in the context of improved hill pasture utilisation.

小型无脊椎动物对混播草地白三叶叶片伤害程度研究

采用非破坏性的田间观测方法,以主匍匐茎的叶片伤害数,叶片伤害率和叶片伤害程度3个变量为指标,综合评价了小型无脊椎动物对多年生黑麦草与白三叶的混播草地白三叶叶片的伤害程度,系统探讨了白三叶品种类型（Alice,Retor和Gwenda),刈割频率（高与低）及草地特征（如三叶含量,地上生物量和草层高度）对小型无脊椎动物对叶片伤害的影响。研究表明,高频率刈割的草地白三叶叶片总的伤害数及中等程度伤害的叶片数明显地高于低频率刈割处理（分别为21％和35％）,另外,研究期总的叶片伤害数不同程度伤害的叶片数因白三叶品种的不同而存在着很大差异,且这种差异在春季,夏末和秋季等3个时期均十分明显,在这3个时期,在两种频率刈割下,均是品种Retor的叶片伤害数和叶片伤害率明显高于品种Alice和Gwenda,研究还表明,叶片的伤害与白三叶种群特征如白三叶含量和地上生物量存在显著的负相关,白三叶含量和地上生物量越低,则叶片的伤害数和伤害率就越高,回归模型显示,白三叶含量和地上生物量可以解释叶片的伤害数在春季,夏末,秋季各65％,59％和50％的变异,可以解释叶片伤害率在这3个时期各58％,57％和45％。     

Host plant recognition by the root feeding clover weevil, Sitona lepidus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

This study investigated the ability of neonatal larvae of the root-feeding weevil, Sitona lepidus Gyllenhal, to locate white clover Trifolium repens L. (Fabaceae) roots growing in soil and to distinguish them from the roots of other species of clover and a co-occurring grass species. Choice experiments used a combination of invasive techniques and the novel technique of high resolution X-ray microtomography to non-invasively track larval movement in the soil towards plant roots. Burrowing distances towards roots of different plant species were also examined. Newly hatched S. lepidus recognized T. repens roots and moved preferentially towards them when given a choice of roots of subterranean clover, Trifolium subterraneum L. (Fabaceae), strawberry clover Trifolium fragiferum L. (Fabaceae), or perennial ryegrass Lolium perenneL. (Poaceae). Larvae recognized T. repens roots, whether released in groups of five or singly, when released 25 mm (meso-scale recognition) or 60 mm (macro-scale recognition) away from plant roots. There was no statistically significant difference in movement rates of larvae.     

The Effect of Temperature on Photosynthesis of Ryegrass and White Clover Leaves

The rate of photosynthesis of leaves of perennial ryegrass (Loliumperenne L.) and white clover (Trifollum pratense L.) grown atdifferent temperatures was measured at a range of temperatures.There was a small effect of the temperature at which a leafhad grown on its photosynthetic rate, but a large effect ofmeasurement temperature, especially in bright light, where photosyntheticrates at 15°C were about twice those at 5°C. It appearsthat temperature could affect sward photosynthesis in the field.Ryegrass and clover had similar photosynthetic rates which respondedsimilarly to temperature.

Antioxidant response to drought in red and white clover

Antioxidant response to drought in red (Trifolium pratense L., cv. ??Start??) and white clover (Trifolium repens L, cv. ??Haifa?? and cv. ??Debut??) grown as soil cultures was evaluated in water-deprived and recovered plants. Drought provoked oxidative stress in leaves confirmed by the considerable changes in electrolyte leakage, malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxides and proline contents. Immunoblot of ??-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS), which catalyzes the first two steps in proline biosynthesis, revealed strong induction of the enzyme in red clover plants submitted to drought. Water-deprived white clover plants exhibited distinct P5CS profiles. This was related to different drought tolerance of the studied T. repens cultivars. Isoenzyme analyses of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POX) and catalase (CAT) demonstrated certain differences in antioxidant defence among the tested varieties. It was confirmed that MnSOD (in both T. repens and T pratense) and FeSOD (in T. repens) isoforms were the most affected by drought. The red clover cultivar ??Start?? exhibited the lowest FeSOD and POX activities which could contribute to its poor performance under water deprivation.     

Leaf phosphorus fractionation and growth responses to phosphorus of the forage legumes Trifolium repens, T. dubium and Lotus pedunculatus

'Grasslands Huia' white clover ( Trifolium repens L.), 'Grasslands Maku' lotus ( Lotus pedunculatus Cav.) and suckling clover ( T. dubium Sibth) were grown in a controlled environment at various levels of P supply. Dry weights and the concentration of inorganic-, lipid-, ester- and residual-P in trifoliate leaves were measured. Lotus grew better than white or suckling clover at low P. White clover and lotus responded steeply to increased P and had similar shoot dry weights at high P. Suckling clover had lower shoot weights than the other species at all P levels. The superior growth of lotus at low levels of p was probably due to better root growth and P uptake. Lotus had higher shoot P concentrations at low levels of P but lower concentrations than the others at high levels. White clover and suckling clover had similar shoot P concentrations at all levels of supply. In white and suckling clover total leaf P concentration rose with P supply. Of the P fractions, inorganic-and residual-P showed the largest rises in concentration. The increases in lipid- and ester-P were smaller. Increases in lotus leaf P were small, primarily because of the relatively small rises in inorganic- and residual-P. White clover is a vigorous species but requires high levels of P for best growth. Suckling clover has a relatively small response to improvements in P availability. The behaviour of the various P fractions is similar to that in white clover. Lotus grows well at low P but also shows rapid growth at high P supply. Whether efficiency is defined as the ability to extract P from the environment or to maintain low internal P concentration, lotus makes efficient use of P over the whole range of P supply.

Effects of temperature and photoperiod on frost resistance of white clover (Trifolium repens) ecotypes

Effects of photoperiod and temperature on frost resistance of seedling populations and clones of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) originating from various latitudes (58°48'–69°54'N) and altitudes (up to 1100 m above sea level) were studied in a phytotron. Low-temperature-induced cold acclimation in all populations was significantly stimulated by short photoperiod and low temperature. The highest levels of frost resistance were found in the northernmost seedling populations and in clones from northern coastal locations.
