外源NO对2+胁迫下小桐子幼苗抗氧化能力的影响

为探讨外源一氧化氮(NO)供体硝普钠(SNP)对铜(Cu2+)胁迫的缓解效应,该试验以小桐子幼苗为材料,先通过小桐子幼苗根茎生长指标的变化筛选出后续实验适宜的SNP(0.2mmol/L)和Cu2+浓度(90mmol/L),再进一步考察SNP预处理对Cu2+胁迫下幼苗脯氨酸(Pro)和丙二醛(MDA)的含量及抗氧化酶活性的影响。结果显示:(1)Cu2+处理能诱导小桐子幼苗叶片中Pro和MDA含量显著升高,且过氧化氢酶(CAT)、超氧物歧化酶(SOD)、愈创木酚过氧化物酶(POD)及抗坏血酸专一性过氧化物酶(APX)的活性增强。(2)用SNP预处理能显著提高Cu2+胁迫下幼苗叶片Pro的含量,进一步增强叶片中CAT、SOD、POD和APX活性,降低MDA的含量。研究表明,0.2mmol/L的SNP能够通过提高小桐子幼苗的抗氧化酶活性和游离脯氨酸含量来增强其抗氧化胁迫能力,从而显著缓解Cu2+胁迫对幼苗造成的氧化伤害,维持其正常生长发育。     

外源MeJA对镉胁迫下波斯菊生长及抗氧化系统的影响

以波斯菊种子和幼苗为试验材料,采用滤纸上发芽和叶面喷施盆栽幼苗的方法,探讨不同浓度(0、0.5、1.0、5.0、10.0和25.0μmol·L~(-1))茉莉酸甲酯(MeJA)对镉(100μmol·L~(-1) Cd~(2+))胁迫下波斯菊种子萌发、幼苗生长以及抗氧化系统的影响。结果表明,镉胁迫条件下,波斯菊的生长受到严重抑制,施加低浓度MeJA(1.0～5.0μmol·L~(-1))可以促进波斯菊种子萌发,增加波斯菊幼苗叶绿素含量,促进叶片干物质含量的积累和叶片相对含水量增加,提高叶片超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)、谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)的活性,增加氧化型谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量和氧化型谷胱甘肽/还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH/GSSG)比值,降低游离脯氨酸(Pro)和丙二醛(MDA)含量;而高浓度的MeJA(大于10μmol·L~(-1))则表现出相反的抑制作用,影响镉胁迫下波斯菊种子萌发和幼苗的相关代谢。研究发现,适宜浓度的外源MeJA,在镉胁迫条件下可通过降低渗透调节物质的含量,诱导增强抗氧化酶活性,增加氧化型谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量,调整GSH/GSSG比例等途径促进波斯菊种子萌发和幼苗的生长,有效缓解镉胁迫对波斯菊的伤害,从而提高波斯菊幼苗的耐镉性能。

以‘津春4号’黄瓜幼苗为试材,采用叶面喷施的方法,研究了外源褪黑素对高温胁迫下黄瓜幼苗叶片抗坏血酸代谢系统的影响.结果表明:高温胁迫后,黄瓜幼苗叶片过氧化氢(H2O2)和丙二醛(MDA)含量明显增加;还原型抗坏血酸(AsA)和还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量持续下降,脱氢抗坏血酸(DHA)和氧化型谷胱甘肽(GSSG)含量逐渐升高,AsA/DHA和GSH/GSSG大幅下降;抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APx)、单脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(MDHAR)、脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(DHAR)和谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)活性明显升高,并在12 h达到最大.外施褪黑素能有效抑制高温胁迫下黄瓜幼苗叶片H2O2和MDA的积累,提高抗氧化物质AsA和GSH含量及抗坏血酸代谢相关酶APx、MDHAR、DHAR和GR活性,从而增强对H2O2的清除能力,抑制活性氧的产生,维持细胞膜的稳定性,减轻高温对植株造成的伤害,提高黄瓜幼苗抵御高温胁迫的能力.     

壳聚糖对镉胁迫下玉米幼苗叶片AsA-GSH循环的调控效应

以玉米（Zea mays L.）品种‘郑单958’为实验材料,分析外施壳聚糖对镉胁迫下玉米幼苗生物量、叶片镉含量、叶片超氧阴离子（O₂^·-）产生速率和过氧化氢（H₂O₂）的含量,以及抗坏血酸-谷胱甘肽（AsA-GSH）循环中抗氧化酶的活性及抗氧化物含量的影响。结果显示,随着镉胁迫时间的延长,玉米幼苗发生氧化胁迫,叶片抗氧化酶（APX、GR、DHAR、MDHAR）活性和抗氧化物（AsA、GSH）的含量降低,镉积累过量会抑制玉米幼苗的生长。施加壳聚糖可以降低镉胁迫下玉米幼苗叶片O₂^·-的产生速率和H₂O₂含量,提高上述抗氧化酶活性和抗氧化物的含量,促进AsA和GSH的再生,维持细胞的氧化还原状态,促进玉米幼苗的生长。研究结果表明壳聚糖处理后玉米幼苗保持了较高的AsA-GSH循环运作效率,提高了抗氧化能力,可有效缓解镉胁迫对玉米幼苗生长的抑制。     

NaCl胁迫对茄子嫁接幼苗叶片抗坏血酸和谷胱甘肽代谢的影响

以Torvum Vigor为砧木,栽培品种苏崎茄为接穗,研究NaCl胁迫对茄子嫁接苗和自根苗抗氧化物质含量和H2O2产生及清除酶活性的影响.结果表明;(1)NaCl胁迫可诱导叶片中H2O2的产生,导致膜脂过氧化产物丙二醛(MDA)的积累,嫁接苗叶片中H2O2和MDA的含量显著低于自根苗.(2)在NaCl胁迫下,嫁接苗叶片中谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)活性上升,自根苗则下降;NaCl胁迫促进了嫁接苗还原型抗坏血酸(AsA)和还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)的合成,嫁接苗叶片中AsA和GSH的含量显著高于自根苗.由此认为,茄子嫁接苗耐盐性优于自根苗的原因之一在于嫁接苗保持较快的AsA-GSH循环,从而保证GSH和AsA的再生以减轻氧化损伤.     

外源表油菜素内酯对NaHCO3胁迫下黄瓜幼苗生长及氧化还原平衡的影响

以‘津研四号’黄瓜为试材,以30 mmol·L^-1 NaHCO₃模拟盐碱环境,采用水培法研究了0.2 μmol·L^-1外源2,4表油菜素内酯(2,4-epibrassinolide,EBR)对盐碱胁迫下黄瓜幼苗生长和活性氧代谢的影响.结果表明: NaHCO₃胁迫显著诱导了叶片及根系中O₂^-·的产生和H₂O₂的积累,导致丙二醛含量和电解质渗透率提高.NaHCO₃胁迫下,超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化物酶、过氧化氢酶、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶、脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶、单脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶、谷胱甘肽还原酶活性及还原型抗坏血酸、还原型谷胱甘肽含量随胁迫时间延长呈现先升后降的趋势.外源EBR显著提高了NaHCO₃胁迫下黄瓜叶片和根系中抗氧化酶活性、抗氧化物质的含量以及AsA/DHA(双脱氢抗坏血酸)和GSH/GSSG(氧化型谷胱甘肽)比值,维持了植株内的氧化还原平衡,降低了活性氧积累水平,缓解了膜脂过氧化,从而提高了黄瓜幼苗的盐碱耐受性.     

镉胁迫对萝卜幼苗活性氧产生、脂质过氧化和抗氧化酶活性的影响

镉胁迫使萝卜幼苗超氧阴离子(O2)、过氧化氢(H2O2)和丙二醛(MDA)含量增加;随着镉浓度提高,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性首先明显上升,然后逐渐下降,甚至低于对照;叶片过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性明显增加,根系CAT活性则减少;根系以及较高浓度镉处理后期叶片的谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)活性均显著增加.由此推测:在胁迫初期可能主要由SOD和CAT发挥抗氧化作用,而在胁迫后期由于抗坏血酸-谷胱甘肽(AsA-GsH)循环途径的激活,还原型谷胱甘肽和植物络合素含量的提高可能在清除活性氧或者直接螯合镉中起作用.     

外源一氧化氮供体对NaCl胁迫下多裂骆驼蓬幼苗叶片ASA-GSH循环的影响

研究了外源一氧化氮(NO)供体硝普钠(SNP)对NaCl胁迫下多裂骆驼蓬幼苗抗坏血酸(ASA)-谷胱甘肽(GSH)循环抗氧化系统及H2O2和丙二醛(MDA)含量的影响。结果表明,0.15mmol.L-1SNP能提高300mmol.L-1NaCl胁迫下多裂骆驼蓬幼苗叶片抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)、谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)和谷胱甘肽转硫酶(GST)活性,增加还原型抗坏血酸(ASA)和谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量,降低脱氢抗坏血酸(DHA)和氧化型谷胱甘肽(GSSG)含量,提高ASA/DHA、GSH/GSSG比率,降低H2O2和MDA水平,对单脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(MDAR)和脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(DHAR)活性无显著影响。NO信号转导途径关键酶鸟苷酸环化酶(GC)抑制剂亚甲基蓝(MB)逆转了SNP对盐胁迫下APX、GR、GST活性和ASA、GSH、DHA,H2O2、MDA含量及ASA/DHA、GSH/GSSG比率的调节效应。由此表明,NO可能通过GC介导的cGMP信号转导参与ASA-GSH循环活性氧清除系统的调节,从而缓解盐胁迫诱导的氧化伤害。     

重金属铜、锌、镉复合胁迫对麻疯树幼苗生理生化的影响

该研究以Cu~(2+)、Zn~(2+)、Cd~(2+)单一胁迫为对照,探讨不同浓度的Cu~(2+)、Zn~(2+)、Cd~(2+)复合胁迫对麻疯树幼苗生理生化指标的影响。结果表明:随着Cu~(2+)、Zn~(2+)、Cd~(2+)浓度的增加,麻疯树幼苗叶片中的蛋白质(Pro)、丙二醛(MDA)含量均逐渐增加,其叶片叶绿素含量随着Zn~(2+)胁迫浓度的增加呈现出先降后升的趋势,在中等浓度(100 mg·L-1)的Zn~(2+)胁迫时含量最低、随着Cu~(2+)胁迫浓度的增加叶绿素含量先升高后降低,在Cu~(2+)浓度为200 mg·L-1时含量最高,达到1 200 mg·g-1FW; Cd~(2+)胁迫对叶绿素含量和根系活力无明显影响。根系活力在Zn~(2+)浓度为100 mg·L~(-1)时最强,随着Cu~(2+)浓度的增加而减弱。低浓度的Cu~(2+)、Zn~(2+)、Cd~(2+)对过氧化物酶活性和可溶性糖含量都具有促进作用。Cu~(2+)、Zn~(2+)、Cd~(2+)复合胁迫时对可溶性蛋白、叶绿素和丙二醛含量均无明显影响,随着复合胁迫时浓度的增加,可溶性糖含量和根系活力先增后减。这表明麻疯树对三种重金属的胁迫具有一定的抗性,过高浓度的胁迫会影响麻疯树幼苗生理生化的一些指标,但是麻疯树可以通过自身的防御系统使伤害降到最小。此外,重金属复合胁迫可以在一定程度上减轻单一胁迫对麻疯树幼苗造成的毒害作用。     

Effect of cadmium on antioxidative enzymes,glutathione content,and glutathionylation in tall fescue

The aim of this work was to assess the effect of different Cd2+concentrations on some antioxidant enzymes in Festuca arundinacea. Increased activities of ascorbate peroxidase, monodehydroascorbate reductase, dehydroascorbate reductase, glutathione S-transferase, and glutathione reductase were ascertained in response to low Cd²⁺ concentrations (0–20 μM), whereas the enzyme activities were less increased or decreased at a higher Cd²⁺ dosage (50 μM) and a longer exposure. The content of reduced glutathione (GSH) decreased significantly with increasing Cd²⁺ concentrations, whereas the content of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) increased proportionally to the amount of Cd²⁺ applied. Further experiments, performed by incubating the enzyme extracts with oxidized glutathione, evidenced that the addition of GSSG to the incubation mixtures caused significant decreases of some enzymatic activities. Finally, the effect of glutathione S-transferase, FaGST I, extracted from fescue seedlings and purified till homogeneity, on these enzyme activities was investigated. It was found that FaGST I enhanced the decreased enzymatic activities caused by GSSG.     

Calcium protects <Emphasis Type="Italic">Trifolium repens</Emphasis> L. seedlings against cadmium stress

The effect of calcium (Ca²⁺) on Trifolium repens L. seedlings subjected to cadmium (Cd²⁺) stress was studied by investigating plant growth and changes in activity of antioxidative enzymes. Physiological analysis was carried out on seedlings cultured for 2 weeks on half-strength Hoagland medium with Cd²⁺ concentrations of 0, 400 and 600 μM, and on corresponding medium supplied with CaCl₂ (5 mM). Exposure to increasing Cd²⁺ reduced the fresh weight of the upper part (stems + leaves) of the seedlings more strongly than that of the root system. In both parts of T. repens seedlings H₂O₂ level and lipid peroxidation increased. In the upper part, Cd²⁺ exposure led to a significant decrease in the activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase and an increase in ascorbate peroxidase activity. In contrast, the roots showed an increase in the activity of antioxidative enzymes under Cd²⁺ stress. Ca²⁺ addition to medium reduced the Cd²⁺ accumulation, and considerably reversed the Cd²⁺-induced decrease in fresh mass as well as the changes in lipid peroxidation in the both parts of T. repens seedlings. Ca²⁺ application diminished the Cd²⁺ effect on the activity of antioxidative enzymes in the upper part, even though it did not significantly affect these enzymes in the roots. So the possible mechanisms for the action of Ca²⁺ in Cd²⁺ stress were considered to reduce Cd²⁺ accumulation, alleviate lipid peroxidation and promote activity of antioxidative enzymes.     

不同浓度Fe2+与Zn2+对羊草幼苗生长和生理特性的影响

以羊草幼苗为研究对象,通过调整全营养培养基(CK,0.05 mmol/L Fe²⁺、0.015 mmol/L Zn²⁺)中铁或者锌含量设置0、10倍、20倍Fe²⁺(Zn²⁺)浓度处理Fe₀(Zn₀)、Fe₁₀(Zn₁₀)、Fe₂₀(Zn₂₀),以及在高铁培养基中单独添加0.15 mmol/L Zn²⁺或同时添加10 mmol/L Ca²⁺、5 mmol/L Mg²⁺、20 mmol/L K⁺处理,测定培养6 d后幼苗生长指标和矿质元素含量、以及高铁(Fe₂₀)处理下幼苗根中抗氧化指标和相关基因表达量,探究不同浓度Fe²⁺、Zn²⁺对羊草幼苗生长、矿质元素吸收积累及抗氧化指标、基因表达的影响。结果表明：(1)缺锌(Zn₀)显著抑制羊草幼苗鲜重的增加和Zn元素的积累,但促进Fe、Mg元素的积累;高浓度锌(Zn₁₀、Zn₂₀)显著促进幼苗叶片生长和Zn元素的积累;缺铁(Fe₀)显著抑制幼苗的根长、鲜重和Fe元素的积累,促进Mg、Zn元素的积累;高浓度铁(Fe₁₀、Fe₂₀)显著抑制羊草幼苗根叶生长、根毛发育和Ca、Zn、Mg、K元素的积累。(2)增加Zn²⁺和Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺、K⁺浓度无法恢复高铁胁迫对幼苗生长的抑制作用。(3)高浓度铁(Fe₂₀)处理羊草幼苗48 h后,根部过氧化物酶、超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化氢酶、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶、谷胱甘肽还原酶活性和丙二醛、抗坏血酸、还原型谷胱甘肽含量显著升高;烟酰胺合成酶基因、过氧化物酶基因表达量显著下调,植物类萌发素蛋白基因表达量显著上调。研究发现,羊草幼苗生长发育和矿质元素积累对环境中Zn²⁺浓度变化不敏感,却受到环境中高浓度Fe²⁺的显著抑制,并造成严重的氧化胁迫伤害,这种伤害无法在添加Zn²⁺或同时添加Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺、K⁺的条件下恢复。     

Stress response in two strains of the aquatic hyphomycete <Emphasis Type="BoldItalic">Heliscus lugdunensis</Emphasis> after exposure to cadmium and copper ions

Biochemical responses to cadmium (Cd²⁺) and copper (Cu²⁺) exposure were compared in two strains of the aquatic hyphomycete (AQH) Heliscus lugdunensis. One strain (H4-2-4) had been isolated from a heavy metal polluted site, the other (H8-2-1) from a moderately polluted habitat. Conidia of the two strains differed in shape and size. Intracellular accumulation of Cd²⁺ and Cu²⁺ was lower in H4-2-4 than in H8-2-1. Both␣strains synthesized significantly more glutathione (GSH), cysteine (Cys) and γ-glutamylcysteine (γ-EC) in the presence of 25 and 50 μM Cd²⁺, but quantities and rates of synthesis were different. In H4-2-4, exposure to 50 μM Cd²⁺ increased GSH levels to 262% of the control; in H8-2-1 it increased to 156%. Mycelia of the two strains were analysed for peroxidase, dehydroascorbate reductase, glutathione reductase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. With Cd²⁺ exposure, peroxidase activity increased in both strains. Cu²⁺ stress increased dehydroascorbate reductase activity in H4-2-4 but not in H8-2-1. Dehydroascorbate reductase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activities progressively declined in the presence of Cd²⁺, indicating a correlation with Cd²⁺ accumulation in both strains. Cd²⁺ and Cu²⁺ exposure decreased glutathione reductase activity.     

Amelioration of salt-induced oxidative stress in eggplant by application of 24-epibrassinolide

The effects of exogenous 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) on the growth, oxidative damage, antioxidant system and ion contents in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) seedlings under salt stress were investigated. Eggplant seedlings were exposed to 90 mM NaCl with 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.20 mg dm⁻³ EBR for 10 d. EBR, especially at concentration 0.05 mg dm⁻³, alleviated growth suppression caused by NaCl stress, decreased electrolyte leakage, superoxide production and content of malondialdehyde and H₂O₂ in NaCl-treated plants. EBR also increased activities of superoxide dismutase, guaiacol peroxidase, catalase and ascorbate peroxidase and the contents of ascorbic acid and reduced glutathione. Furthermore, we also found that Na⁺, Cl⁻ contents were decreased, K⁺, Ca²⁺ contents and K⁺/Na⁺, Ca²⁺/Na⁺ ratios were increased in the presence of EBR under salt stress.     

Involvement of oxidative stress and role of antioxidative defense system in growing rice seedlings exposed to toxic concentrations of aluminum

When seedlings of rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivar Pant-12 were raised in sand cultures containing 80 and 160 μM Al³⁺ in the medium for 5–20 days, a regular increase in Al³⁺ uptake with a concomitant decrease in the length of roots as well as shoots was observed. Al³⁺ treatment of 160 μM resulted in increased generation of superoxide anion (O₂ ⁻) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), elevated amount of malondialdehyde, soluble protein and oxidized glutathione and decline in the concentrations of thiols (-SH) and ascorbic acid. Among antioxidative enzymes, activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD EC 1.15.1.1), guaiacol peroxidase (Guaiacol POX EC 1.11.1.7), ascorbate peroxidase (APX EC 1.11.1.11), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR EC 1.6.5.4), dehydroascorbate reductase (EC 1.8.5.1) and glutathione reductase (EC 1.6.4.2) increased significantly, whereas the activities of catalase (EC EC 1.11.1.6) and chloroplastic APX declined in 160 μM Al³⁺ stressed seedlings as compared to control seedlings. The results suggest that Al³⁺ toxicity is associated with induction of oxidative stress in rice plants and among antioxidative enzymes SOD, Guaiacol POX and cytosolic APX appear to serve as important components of an antioxidative defense mechanism under Al³⁺ toxicity. PAGE analysis confirmed the increased activity as well as appearance of new isoenzymes of APX in Al³⁺ stressed seedlings. Immunoblot analysis revealed that changes in the activities of APX are due to changes in the amounts of enzyme protein. Similar findings were obtained when the experiments were repeated using another popular rice cv. Malviya-36.

为揭示植物适应锰胁迫的生理机制,通过在不同Mn²⁺浓度(0、1、5、10、15、20 mmol/L)下开展盐肤木(Rhus chinensis)种子萌发以及幼苗生长实验,检测锰胁迫处理7、15、30 d后幼苗生理生化特性的变化。结果表明:(1)随着Mn²⁺浓度的升高,盐肤木种子发芽率变化不显著,在80.0%-81.6%之间,发芽势、发芽指数和活力指数则呈先升后降的趋势;其幼苗生物量也呈现先升后降的趋势;(2)随着Mn²⁺浓度的升高与胁迫时间的延长,盐肤木幼苗叶绿素a、叶绿素b含量均呈现先增加后降低的趋势,类胡萝卜素含量呈现下降的趋势;(3)胁迫7 d时,随着Mn²⁺浓度的升高,盐肤木幼苗超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性均显著上升;胁迫15、30 d时,高Mn²⁺浓度(15-20 mmol/L)下POD、CAT活性则均降低;(4)胁迫7 d时,随着Mn²⁺浓度的升高,可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白、游离脯氨酸含量升高;胁迫15、30 d时,在Mn²⁺浓度为20 mmol/L时可溶性蛋白与游离脯氨酸含量显著降低;(5)随着Mn²⁺浓度的升高与胁迫时间的延长,丙二醛(MDA)含量均升高。研究说明盐肤木具有较强的耐受锰胁迫能力,它可通过增强抗氧化酶活性、积累渗透调节物质含量来应对锰胁迫。     

Combined action of antioxidant defense system and osmolytes in chilling shock-induced chilling tolerance in Jatropha curcas seedlings

Low non-freezing temperature is one of the major environmental factors affecting growth, development and geographical distribution of chilling-sensitive plants, Jatropha curcas is considered as a sustainable energy plants with great potential for biodiesel production. In this study, chilling shock at 5 °C followed by recovery at 26 °C for 4 h significantly improved survival percentage of J. curcas seedlings under chilling stress at 1 °C. In addition, chilling shock could obviously enhance the activities of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT) and glutathione reductase (GR), and the levels of antioxidants ascorbic acid (AsA) and glutathione (GSH), as well as the contents of osmolytes proline and betaine in leaves of seedlings of J. curcas compared with the control without chilling shock. During the process of recovery, GR activity, AsA, GSH, proline and betaine contents sequentially increased, whereas SOD, APX and CAT activities gradually decreased, but they markedly maintained higher activities than those of control. Under chilling stress, activities of SOD, APX, CAT, GR and GPX, and contents of AsA, GSH, proline and betaine, as well as the ratio of the reduced antioxidants to total antioxidants [AsA/(AsA + DHA) and GSH/(GSH + GSSG)] in the shocked and non-shock seedlings all dropped, but shocked seedlings sustained significantly higher antioxidant enzyme activity, antioxidant and osmolyte contents, as well as ratio of reduced antioxidants to total antioxidants from beginning to end compared with control. These results indicated that the chilling shock followed by recovery could improve chilling tolerance of seedlings in J. curcas, and antioxidant enzymes and osmolytes play important role in the acquisition of chilling tolerance.
