Effects of Salinity on Ion Contents,Betaine Level and Betaine-Aldehyde Dehydrogenase Activity in Seepweed (Suaeda salsa) Seedlings

The changes of ion contents, betaine levels and betaine-aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) activity in seedling of halophyte seepweed (Suaeda salsa) were studied under different salinity (NaC1 and KC1). Results showed that the K+ contents in seepweed seedlings grown in NaC1 for 96 h decreased as the external salinity was increased comparing with the controls while the Na+ levels increased substantially. The levels of Na+ in seepweed treated with KC1 fell, but K+ levels rose. The betaine levels and the BADH activity rose with the increase of external NaC1 concentrations and the betaine levels increased as the time of the treatment was lengthened. The effects of KC1 on the betaine levels and BADH activity were similar to these of NaC1. These results illustrated that NaC1 and KC1 can cause a large amounts of betaine accumulation in seepweed, and preliminary data suggest that BADH activity has played a role in betaine accumulation.     

Effect of salinity and abscisic acid on accumulation of glycinebetaine and betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase mRNA in Sorghum leaves (Sorghum bicolor)

The effects of salt stress and abscisic acid (ABA) on the expression of betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) were determined in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) plants. BADH mRNA expression was induced by salinity, and the timing coincided with the observed glycinebetaine (betaine) accumulation. The leaf water potential in the leaves of the sorghum plants was significantly affected by salinity. In response to salinity, betaine, ABA, Na and Cl accumulations increased 6-, 16-, 90-, and 3-fold, respectively. In the leaf disks from unsalinized plants incubated on NaCl, or ABA solution, the BADH mRNA level was lower than in the ABA-treated disks. Exogenous application of the ABA biosynthetic inhibitor fluridone to the NaCl-treated disks reduced the ABA accumulation and BADH mRNA levels compared with NaCl-treated leaves. The results indicate that the salt-induced accumulation of betaine and BADH mRNA coincides with the presence of ABA.     

Seed germination of the halophyteSuaeda japonica under salt stress

Suaeda japonica Makino belonging to the family Chenopodiaceae, is a halophyte and grows at the shore of Ariake sea in Japan. This plant presumably possesses high salt resistant nature, thus, we examined the mechanisms of seed germination under salt stress. The seeds maintained 80% germination rates on the medium containing 0.7 M NaCl. Germination rates varied depending on salt type; the germination rates under NaCl or KCI exhibited relatively lower values than ones under sodium gluconate or potassium gluconate. This different responses for salts seemed to be as a result of the presence of Cl⁻ ions. Although very high levels of betaine (compatible solute), were kept in the seedlings grown under no salt stress, the contents gradually increased as concentration of NaCl increased. Betaine is a factor present in plants that works to alleviate the effects of excessive soil salts. It is synthesized in leaves from betaine aldehyde, and this process is catabolized by betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH). When the seedlings were cultivated on the medium without NaCl, relatively high level of BADH activity was found. The activity increased 5-fold in the seedlings grown under 0.5 M NaCl stress. Increases in betaine content and BADH activity were found during seed germination. InS. japonica, the salt stress promoted BADH activity, subsequently endogenous betaine contents were increased, and increased betaine seemed to secure seed germination under salt stress.     

Physiological and Growth Responses of Tomato Progenies Harboring the Betaine Alhyde Dehydrogenase Gene to Salt Stress

The responses of five transgenic tomato （Lycopersicon esculentum Mill） lines containing the betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase （BADH） gene to salt stress were evaluated. Proline, betaine （N, N, N-trimethylglycine, hereafter betalne）, chlorophyll and ion contents, BADH activity, electrolyte leakage （EL）, and some growth parameters of the plants under 1.0% and 1.5% NaCl treatments were examined. The transgenic tomatoes had enhanced BADH activity and betaine content, compared to the wild type under stress conditions. Salt stress reduced chlorophyll contents to s higher extent in the wild type than in the transgenic plants. The wild type exhibited significantly higher proline content than the transgenic plants at 0.9% and 1.3% NaCh Cell membrane of the wild type was severely damaged as determined by higher EL under salinity stress. K^＋ and Ca^2＋ contents of all tested lines decreased under salt stress, but the transgenic plants showed a significantly higher accumulation of K^＋ and Ca^2＋ than the wild type. In contrast, the wild type had significantly higher CI- and Na^2＋ contents than the transgenic plants under salt stress. Although yield reduction among various lines varied, the wild type had the highest yield reduction. Fruit quality of the transgenic plants was better in comparison with the wild type as shown by a low ratio of blossom end rot fruits. The results show that the transgenic plants have improved salt tolerance over the wild type.     

Glycine betaine accumulation,ionic and water relations of red-beet at contrasting levels of sodium supply

Exposure of plants to sodium (Na) and salinity may increase glycine betaine accumulation in tissues. To study this, red-beet cvs. Scarlet Supreme and Ruby Queen, were grown for 42 days in a growth chamber using a re-circulating nutrient film technique with 0.25 mmol/L K and either 4.75 mmol/L (control) or 54.75 mmol/L (saline) Na (as NaCl). Plants were harvested at weekly intervals and measurements were taken on leaf water relations, leaf photosynthetic rates, chlorophyll fluorescence, chlorophyll levels, glycine betaine levels, and tissue elemental composition. Glycine betaine accumulation increased under salinity and this accumulation correlated with higher tissue levels of Na in both cultivars. Na accounted for 80 to 90% of the total cation uptake under the saline treatment. At final harvest (42 days), K concentrations in laminae ranged from approximately 65-95 micromoles g-1 dry matter (DM), whereas Na in shoot tissue ranged from approximately 3000-4000 micromoles g-1. Leaf sap osmotic potential at full turgor [psi(s100)] increased as lamina Na content increased. Glycine betaine levels of leaf laminae showed a linear relationship with leaf sap [psi(s100)]. Chlorophyll levels, leaf photosynthetic rates, and chlorophyll fluorescence were not affected by Na levels. These results suggest that the metabolic tolerance to high levels of tissue Na in red-beet could be due to its ability to synthesize and regulate glycine betaine production, and to control partitioning of Na and glycine betaine between the vacuole and the cytoplasm.     

盐生植物盐爪爪甜菜碱醛脱氢酶基因的克隆及在盐胁迫下的BADH基因的表达

Salt-inducible betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase from sugar beet: cDNA cloning and expression

Members of the Chenopodiaceae, such as sugar beet and spinach, accumulate glycine betaine in response to salinity or drought stress. The last enzyme in the glycine betaine biosynthetic pathway is betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH). In sugar beet the activity of BADH was found to increase two- to four-fold in both leaves and roots as the NaCl level in the irrigation solution was raised from 0 to 500 mM. This increase in BADH activity was paralleled by an increase in level of translatable BADH mRNA. Several cDNAs encoding BADH were cloned from a gt10 libary representing poly(A)⁺ RNA from salinized leaves of sugar beet plants, by hybridization with a spinach BADH cDNA. Three nearly full-length cDNA clones were confirmed to encode BADH by their nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence identity to spinach BADH; these clones showed minor nucleotide sequence differences consistent with their being of two different BADH alleles. The clones averaged 1.7 kb and contained an open reading frame predicting a polypeptide of 500 amino acids with 83% identity to spinach BADH. RNA gel blot analysis of total RNA showed that salinization to 500 mM NaCl increased BADH mRNA levels four-fold in leaves and three-fold in the taproot. DNA gel blot analyses indicated the presence of at least two copies of BADH in the haploid sugar beet genome.     

甜菜碱对呼吸酶的保护效应

以菠菜（Ｓｐｉｎａｃｉａ ｏｌｅｒａｃｅａ Ｌ．）叶片为材料,研究了不同浓度的甜菜碱和ＮａＣｌ对三羧酸循环、末端氧化和光呼吸的组成酶的活性的影响。与电解质ＮａＣｌ不同,高浓度的甜菜碱对这些酶的活性是非抑制性的,并对ＮａＣｌ的抑制作用有一定保护效应。甜菜碱是很好的有机渗透调节剂。这与甜菜碱在细胞质中起渗透调节作用,以及是无机渗透调节剂的配伍溶质的假设是一致的。     

Swelling and potassium uptake in cultured astrocytes

The intracellular water content of astrocytes in primary cultures shows a biphasic swelling pattern on exposure to various increased external K+ concentrations over the range of 1.5-100 mM. The two phases (physiological, 1.5-12 mM K+; pathological, 25-100 mM K+) are based on two different mechanisms. Both can be blocked by low Cl- solutions and involve intensive net uptake of K+. However, the physiological phase consists of the activation of a KCl + NaCl carrier, while the Na+ in turn is pumped out by Na+-K+ ATPase, with a resultant net accumulation of KCl. At pathological K+ concentrations the KCl + NaCl carrier is less active because the Na+ driving force, its energy source, is reduced (owing to depolarization by K+). However, the Donnan equilibrium across the cell membrane is heavily disturbed, which leads to passive KCl accumulation. The results suggest that volume changes in cultured glial cells during exposure to high K+ should be taken into consideration since they disguise K+ accumulation when only ion activity is measured.
