芒果老叶在增强UV-B辐射处理下的损伤和保护反应

以‘台衣一号’芒果盆栽苗离体老叶为试材,研究增强UV—B辐射条件下芒果老叶的损伤和保护反应。结果表明：UV—B辐射处理使芒果叶片MDA含量和相对电导率升高、叶绿素含量和叶绿素a／b降低,表明叶片受到损伤,且随处理时间延长叶片损伤加重。UV—B辐射处理叶片可溶性蛋白含量、抗氧化酶（SOD、CAT、POD）活性、保护色素（类胡萝卜素、类黄酮）和还原型GSH含量显著高于对照叶片,UV—B辐射处理叶片维生素C含量显著低于对照叶片,表明增强UV—B辐射可诱导叶片细胞通过提高活性氧清除能力和积累保护色素而直接吸收部分UV—B辐射来提高抗增强UV—B辐射损伤的能力。     

微藻叶绿素荧光值与传统生长指标的关联性研究

利用TD-700型叶绿素荧光仪测定了6种不同海洋和淡水微藻,即锥状斯氏藻(Scrippsiella trochoidea)、球形棕囊藻(Phaeocystis globosa)、三角褐指藻(Phaeodactylum tricornutum)、眼点拟微绿球藻(Nannochloropsis oculata)、四列藻(Tetraselmis tetrethele)和雨生红球藻(Haematococcus pluvialis)的叶绿素荧光值,同时采用经典方法同步测定其细胞密度和叶绿素a含量。统计分析结果显示,微藻细胞密度、叶绿素a含量、叶绿素荧光值三者之间具有显著或极显著的正相关关系。因此,利用叶绿素荧光仪测定微藻生物量的方法是切实可行的,具有快捷方便、灵敏度高的优点。     

远紫外辐射对紫杉幼苗针叶膜脂过氧化及内源保护系统的影响

实验室条件下用远紫外线(UV-BC)光源照射紫杉幼苗,随照射时间延长,针叶的离子渗出率、膜脂过氧化水平、组织自动氧化速率及H₂O₂含量显著增加,可溶性蛋白、抗坏血酸、类胡萝卜素和叶绿素含量下降,叶绿体光系统II电子传递活性显著下降,外源活性氧清除剂苯甲酸钠和抗坏血酸对针叶膜脂过氧化有抑制作用;甲基紫精和DDC对针叶膜脂过氧化有促进效果,远紫外线引起的紫杉伤害可能和针叶树的越冬光氧化伤害有类似之处.紫杉苗对紫外辐射的抗性远高于一般农作物.     

田间增加紫外线（UV）辐射对大豆幼苗生长和光合作用的影响

 两个增加的UV(UV-AB,280～400nm)辐射强度分别相当于大气臭氧减少3.6％和5.1％时增加的UV-B辐射。UV辐射增强明显降低大豆的株高、叶面积、干重、水分含量和叶绿素含量,大豆生长受抑程度随人工UV光源照射时间和强度增加而增强,是增加UV辐射剂量的累积效应,叶绿素b的降幅大于叶绿素a,表明UV辐射对大豆幼苗捕光色素的破坏较严重。同时,增加UV辐射还使大豆幼苗的表观光合速率、蒸腾速率、水分利用效率、气孔导度下降,作用效果与辐射强度正相关。与生长等比较,UV辐射条件下,冠／根比值减少幅度不大。分析认为,大豆幼苗生长和光合能力的下降可以使植物避免或减轻UV辐射的进一步伤害,对植物适应UV辐射有利。

为考察葛仙米(Nostoc sphaeroides)群体粒径变化对营养成分和光合活性的影响, 测定了生长过程中不同粒径群体的色素成分、光合特性和多糖含量。结果表明: 叶绿素a、藻胆蛋白含量随群体粒径增大而降低; 类胡萝卜素含量在粒径4.85 mm时最高, 藻蓝蛋白/叶绿素a、藻红蛋白/叶绿素a以及别藻蓝蛋白/叶绿素a的比值随粒径增大先降低后升高; 最大潜在光合能力(F_v/F_m)随群体粒径增大逐渐降低, 大群体可通过光系统I介导的环式电子传递链耗散多余能量以保护光合作用系统; 多糖含量在粒径3.03 mm时最高。研究结果显示葛仙米生长具有明显的尺度效应, 细胞组分与光合活性对群体粒径变化具有显著的响应, 开展规模化培养和采收需要关注这一效应。     

绿色巴夫藻受紫外(UV－B)胁迫后的超补偿生长效应

以绿色巴夫藻(Pavlova viridis)为实验材料,设置了18、36、54、65、86和108 J·m^-2 6个UV-B辐射剂量处理组,以无紫外辐射为对照,解除胁迫后,处理组和对照组在相同接种密度和相同条件下培养12 d,测定了生长过程中的吸光值、生物量、叶绿素a、类胡萝卜素、可溶性蛋白质和胞内多糖含量.结果表明,在UV-B胁迫下,绿色巴夫藻细胞生长受到显著抑制,6个处理组细胞的相对增长率比对照下降了16.15%～60.00% (P＜0.05).但在胁迫解除后,各胁迫处理的藻细胞生长指标均显著高于对照(P＜0.05),证明绿色巴夫藻在胁迫后的恢复生长中出现超补偿生长现象.恢复培养第12天,最大吸光值、生物量、叶绿素a、类胡萝卜素、可溶性蛋白质和胞内多糖含量分别比对照提高了22.38%、15.00%、26.15%、23.81%、11.63%和27.58%.藻类中存在超补偿生长特性为微藻生物活性物质的开发提供了有效途径.

建立了米糠多糖的提取工艺,荧光法研究头发光损伤,并用色氨酸的荧光分析方法研究了微波浸提法得到的米糠粗多糖RBPa,RBPb应用到头发中的抗UVB辐射效果.将米糠粗多糖-吐温-80模拟发胶喷洒到头发上,自然干燥,置于紫外灯下照射.头发样品以5.5 mol/L氢氧化钠在110℃下水解20 h,在pH 10.5的磷酸二氢钠-氢氧化钠缓冲液中,激发波长为280 nm、发射波长为360 nm处测定色氨酸的荧光强度变化,加有多糖保护的头发较对照样品中色氨酸的受破坏量降低.表明米糠多糖具有一定的抗紫外辐射效果.     

自然条件下滤减UV-B辐射对烤烟光合色素含量的影响

在自然环境中,以烟草栽培品种K326为材料,通过覆盖不同透明薄膜滤减UV—B辐射,研究100％（CK）、75％（T1）、50％（T2）、35％（T3）UV—B辐射透过率处理下,不同强度UV—B辐射对烟草光合色素含量的影响。结果表明：烤烟三类光合色素对UV—B辐射有不同响应。类胡萝卜素对UV—B辐射响应较敏感。成熟初期,类胡萝卜素含量与UV—B辐射强度变化具有较好的正相关性,而chl a和chl b含量基本与UV—B辐射强度呈反向变化关系。成熟后期,由于UV—B辐射累积效应,光合色素含量变化没有明显规律。现蕾期至成熟采烤烟初期,chl a：chl b与UV—B辐射的反向变化关系较明显,后期则无明显规律,其含量的下降与UV—B辐射的累积效应有关。     

α-NAA和UV-B辐射对栝楼幼苗光合色素及保护酶活性的影响

温室条件下研究 UV- B辐射 ( 0 .0 2 9J/( m2·s) )和外施 α-萘乙酸 ( α- NAA) ( 2 mg/L)对栝楼叶片光合色素及保护酶活性的影响。实验结果表明 :外施α- NAA,能提高栝楼幼苗叶片叶绿素及类胡萝卜素的含量 ,提高保护酶 SOD、CAT、POD、ASP的活性 ,细胞膜相对透性和膜脂过氧化产物 MDA含量相对稳定。UV- B辐射单独处理 ,则极显著地降低叶绿素 a的含量 ,叶绿素 b含量也呈明显地下降趋势 ,类胡萝卜素含量稍有下降 ,极显著降低栝楼幼苗叶片 SOD、POD、CAT、ASP活性 ,引起细胞膜相对透性明显增大 ,MDA含量显著增加。α- NAA与 UV- B辐射共同处理栝楼幼苗 ,与 UV- B辐射处理相比 ,叶绿体色素含量都有不同程度增加 ,而细胞膜相对透性、MDA含量则有不同程度降低 ,SOD、POD、ASP活性上升 ,CAT活性显著上升。以上结果暗示 ,UV- B辐射对生长的影响可能是 :( 1 )破坏光合色素而导致光合能力下降 ;( 2 )降低保护酶 SOD、POD、CAT、ASP活性 ,导致膜脂过氧化 ,膜结构遭到破坏 ,膜透性增加。而外施α- NAA,能部分减轻由增强的 UV- B辐射对栝楼幼苗造成的这种伤害 ,其原因可能是 α- NAA提高了保护酶活性 ,维持了活性氧产生与清除之间的平衡 ,即是维持了膜结构的稳定性。可见 ,α- NAA能增加栝楼对 UV- B辐射的抗性。     

多蒴灰藓对强紫外线照射的生理响应

将多蒴灰藓(Hypnum fertile)置于紫外辐射下照光3周,研究了紫外辐射对多蒴灰藓的损害及其生理响应。结果表明： 与对照(自然环境)相比,多蒴灰藓的叶绿素和类胡萝卜素含量均随紫外辐射时间的延长而减少,MDA含量却明显增加,SOD、POD和CAT活性也相应增加;增加紫外辐射量会引起多蒴灰藓的氧化胁迫,其能通过增加抗氧化酶的活性来减轻这种胁迫。     

Action of the organophosphorous insecticide parathion on the free-living marine dinoflagellate Prorocentrum micans Ehrbg

Growth of cultures of the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum micans Ehrbg. was slowed by parathion greater than 1 ppm. Parathion also decreased chlorophyll content and perturbed cellular ultrastructure, eliciting especially plastoglobuli in their chloroplasts. Toxicity of this organophosphorous insecticide is unlikely to be due to its anticholinesterase activity since P. micans appears not to contain cholinesterase. Fluorescence kinetics show that parathion affects the photosynthetic system, particularly photosystem II.     

Response of Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo,a Prized Medicinal Plant,to Continuous UV-B Irradiation at Different C/N Ratios

The response of Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo (D. officinale) to continuous UV-B irradiation at different carbon to nitrogen ratios (C/N ratios) was investigated. Seedlings grown for 60 days were incubated under aseptic conditions with UV-B irradiation (15.6 µW cm⁻²) at different C/N ratios: control group (CK; C/N 30 without UV-B), UV-B + CK (C/N 30 with UV-B irradiation, similarly hereafter), UV-B + C/N 120, UV-B + C/N 60, UV-B + C/N 15, UV-B + C/N 10, UV-B + C/N 7.5. Growth parameters (the defoliation rate and the sprout number), photosynthetic pigments (carotenoids, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b), total polysaccharides, total alkaloids, and activities of antioxidant enzymes were determined following 4, 8, 12, and 16 days of continuous UV-B exposure. Results indicated that UV-B irradiation increased the defoliation rate and the content of carotenoids, total polysaccharides and total alkaloids, as well as the activities of antioxidant enzymes. Conversely, UV-B irradiation reduced the sprout number and chlorophyll content in D. officinale. Compared with UV-B + CK, lower C/N ratio treatments (UV-B + C/N 15, UV-B + C/N 10 and UV-B + C/N 7.5) enhanced the defoliation rate and sprout number, but decreased antioxidant enzyme activities and total polysaccharide content during the whole period, and reduced total alkaloid content after 4 days of UV-B exposure. Following initial UV-B irradiation, lower C/N ratios increased the contents of carotenoid and chlorophyll b, while after 8 days, a reversal in carotenoid content was observed, and after 12 days, a reversal in chlorophyll b content was observed. Optimizing the C/N ratio (C/N 60) resulted in lower defoliation rate, higher photosynthetic pigments and total polysaccharides, and increased activities of antioxidant enzymes, whereas no significant change in sprout number and total alkaloid content was recorded under long-term UV-B irradiation. Furthermore, the UV-B + C/N 120 treatment negatively affected D. officinale in terms of an increased defoliation rate and reduced sprout number, photosynthetic pigments, and total alkaloids. Therefore, results suggested that an appropriate C/N ratio (C/N 60) could ameliorate the adverse effects of continuous UV-B irradiation on D. officinale.

     

UV-B and cadmium induced changes in pigments,photosynthetic electron transport activity,antioxidant levels and antioxidative enzyme activities of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Riccia</Emphasis> sp.

UV-B and cadmium, alone and together, induced changes in photosynthetic pigment levels, photosynthetic electron transport activity, enzymatic and non-enzymatic (low molecular weight) antioxidants, level of hydrogen peroxide and lipid peroxidation in Riccia sp. were evaluated. Chlorophyll content was found to decrease with the rising concentration of cadmium and UV-B exposure alone and its level further declined when both the stresses were applied together. In contrast to this, carotenoids exhibited varied response, as it showed enhancement with UV-B (15, 30 and 45 min exposure) and low concentration of Cd (1 and 10 μM) treatment alone and in combination. Both the stresses caused strong inhibitory effect on PS II activity (H₂O → p-BQ), while PS I activity (DCPIP/ASC → MV) appeared to be less sensitive. Total peroxide content increased with simultaneous increase in lipid peroxidation. The level of non-enzymatic antioxidant ascorbate and enzymatic antioxidants superoxide dismutase and peroxidase activity were found to increase with simultaneous decrease in catalase activity following UV-B and Cd treatments. These results indicate that 45 min of UV-B exposure and 10, 100 and 1000 μM cadmium alone and together, strongly arrested electron flow through PS II which caused accelerated generation of reactive oxygen species (H₂O₂) and excess accumulation of H₂O₂ due to significant inhibition of catalase activity, led to the oxidative damage in Riccia sp.     

Phototaxis, gravitaxis and vertical migrations in the marine dinoflagellate Prorocentrum micans

Abstract The phototactic orientation of the marine dinoflagellate Prorocentrum micans was studied at three different ages and at several light intensities. High irradiances caused the cells to show negative phototaxis and low irradiances caused positive phototaxis. The precision of negative phototaxis reached a maximum in the early afternoon, while the precision of positive phototaxis was found to peak in the morning and at night. The cells also showed a pronounced negative gravitactic orientation, which had a maximum in precision in the early afternoon. The degree of gravitaxis was found to be constant over time when the cells were confined to a closed cuvette for up to 9 h. As a consequence of the orientation strategies, populations of Prorocentrum micans showed daily vertical migrations in a 3-m Plexiglas column. They accumulated in the top layers in the afternoon and were almost randomly distributed during the rest of the day.     

Lectin analysis of surface saccharides during the cell cycle in four dinoflagellate species

The surface glycocalyx of four dinoflagellate species were examined by fluorescent lectins. Cultures were synchronized by darkness for 82 h and changes in DNA content, cell density and surface sugars composition were monitored at 2 h intervals for 52 h in populations of four species: Alexandrium minutum, Gymnodinium catenatum, Prorocentrum micans and Gyrodinium impudicum. Lectin binding properties indicated changes in the glycoconjugate composition of the cell surface during the cell cycle. Differences in the lectin binding pattern among species were also observed. No detectable alpha-D-N-acetyl-galactosaminyl residues were found in A. minutum and G. catenatum at the cell surface and only small and irregular amounts of alpha-L-fucose were detected. However, large amounts of alpha-mannose, alpha-glucose, (N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosamine)(2) and, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl were found during the greater part of the cell cycle of this species. P. micans only showed positive labeling when ConA was used, suggesting the presence of alpha-mannosyl and alpha-glucosyl residues. More complex sugars such alpha-L-fuc and alpha-galNAc were never observed or were present in low amounts. All the sugar residues analyzed were present in the cell surface of G. impudicum in significant amounts. Evidence was also obtained for internalization of WGA receptors in P. micans and its binding to the nuclear membrane.     

The effects of altered levels of UV-B radiation on an Antarctic grass and lichen

We report a long-term experiment on the photosynthetic response of natural vegetation of Deschampsia antarctica (Poaceae) and Turgidosculum complicatulum (Lichenes) to altered UV-B levels on Léonie Island, Antarctica.UV-B above the vegetation was reduced by filter screens during two seasons. Half of the screens were transparent to UV-A and UV-B (ambient treatment) or absorbing UV-B and part of the UV-A (below-ambient treatment). Half of the wedge- shaped filters had side walls leading to an enhancement of the daily mean temperature in summer by 2–4 °C, simulating rising mean air temperature on the Antarctic Peninsula. The other half of the filters were without side walls resulting in close-to-ambient temperature underneath. Plots without filters served as controls.UV-B supplementation of an extra 1.3 kJ UV-B_BE was achieved using UV-mini-lamp systems during 15 days in the second season.We found no evidence that altered incident UV-B levels and temperature had an effect on maximum photosystem II efficiency (F _v/F _m) and effective photosystem II efficiency (F/F _m) in both species. UV-B reduction did not influence contents of chlorophyll, carotenoids and methanol-soluble UV absorbing compounds in D. antarctica.Flowering shoot length of D. antarctica was not affected by UV-B reduction. Temperature enhancement tended to result in longer inflorescence axes. Results of two austral summer seasons of UV- reduction in natural stands of D. antarctica and T. complicatulum suggest that current ambient levels of UV-B do not have a direct effect on the photosynthetic performance and pigment contents of these species. Cumulative effects on growth have not been recorded after two years but can not be excluded on a longer term.     

Acclimation and photoprotection of young gametophytes of Acrostichum danaeifolium to UV-B stress

The effect of ultraviolet B radiation (UV-B) on cellular ultrastructure, chlorophyll (Chl), carotenoids, and total phenolics of Acrostichum danaeifolium gametophytes was analyzed. The control group of spores was germinated under standard conditions, while the test group of spores was germinated with additional UV-B for 30 min every day for 34 d. The cell characteristics were preserved in gametophytes irradiated with UV-B, but the number of starch grains increased in the chloroplasts and the more developed grana organization in contrast to the chloroplasts of the control group. Chl a content decreased, while Chl b content increased in the gametophytes cultivated with UV-B for 34 d. Contents of lutein and zeaxanthin decreased and trans-β-carotene concentration was enhanced in the gametophytes irradiated with UV-B. The content of total phenolic compounds increased in the gametophytes cultivated with UV-B. Therefore our data suggest that the gametophytes of A. danaeifolium, a fern endemic to the mangrove biome, were sensitive to enhancement of UV-B radiation at the beginning of their development and they exhibited alterations in their ultrastructure, pigment contents, and protective mechanisms of the photosynthetic apparatus, when exposed to this radiation.     

UV-B radiation and cadmium induced changes in growth,photosynthesis, and antioxidant enzymes of cyanobacterium <Emphasis Type="Italic">Plectonema boryanum</Emphasis>

UV-B (0.4 W m^–2) irradiation and cadmium (2 and 8 M) treatments separately inhibited the survival, growth, pigment content, and photosynthetic electron transport in Plectonema boryanum. Phycocyanin was the main target to UV-B and Cd and it was followed by chlorophyll a and carotenoids. UV-B and Cd caused strong inhibition on activities of photosystem 2 (PS2) and the whole electron transport chain, whereas photosystem 1 (PS1) was the least affected. UV-B and Cd treatment accelerated respiration, lipid peroxidation, and the activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase. However, enhancement in catalase activity was considerably less (5 – 50 %) as compared to SOD activity. As compared to individual treatment, the effect of their combination (UV-B + Cd) was more detrimental to the above parameters. A synergistic interaction of UV-B and Cd is probably due to increased cadmium uptake as a result of increased membrane permeability caused by lipid peroxidation in P. boryanum after UV-B exposure.     

Evidence of an endogenous circannual rhythm in growth-rates in dinoflagellates

Prorocentrum micans and Gonyaulax excavata clonal cultures grown under constant laboratory environmental conditions (continuous light and 20 +/- 1 degree C), over a two-year period, exhibit significative changes in growth rate. When rhythmometrically analyzed by cosinor, a pattern resembling a circannual rhythm became apparent. Significant rhythmometric differences appeared between species. Endogenous rhythms of microorganisms may have ecological implications.     

一株北极小球藻Chlorella sp.的分离鉴定及其对增强的UV-B辐射的生理生化响应

为了了解微藻对UV-B辐射增强效应的响应,以一种分离纯化于北极冰川融水的淡水微藻（Chlorella sp.）为实验材料,在不同强度UV-B辐射下对其生长、生化组分和细胞超微结构等进行了研究。研究结果显示：3种不同强度的UV-B（22μW/cm2,45μW/cm2,70μW/cm2）辐射均可导致藻的比生长速率及色素含量下降,且辐射强度越强,两者的下降越明显;而MDA含量和SOD活性会随辐照强度的增强而提高。表明辐射强度增强,UV-B对藻的伤害程度加大,而该小球藻SOD活性随UV-B强度增强而提高,表明其对上升的UV-B辐射有一定的适应能力。
