田间应用拮抗酵母菌对甜樱桃果实采后病害的防治效果

研究了应用拮抗酵母菌丝孢酵母(Trichosporon pullulans(Lindner.)Diddens et Lodder)、罗伦隐球酵母(Cryptococcus laurentii(Kuffer.)Skinner)和粘红酵母(Rhodotorula glutinis(Fresenius)Harrison)后拮抗菌在果实表面的繁殖能力以及对不同贮藏条件下甜樱桃(Pranus avivum L.cv.Hongdeng)果实采后病害的防治效果。酵母菌的使用浓度为1×10~8CFU/mL。结果表明,田间3种拮抗菌都能够在果实表面增值,但是只有C.laurentii和R.glutinis能够持续稳定地生长。C.laurentii的抑病效果最好,它对田间环境和采后低温低氧及高CO_2都具有很强的适应能力。     

Induction of umbelliferone in sweet potato cell suspension culture using mercuric chloride

HgCl₂ was used at up to 10 mg l^–1 as an elicitor of phytoalexins in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam. cv Centennial) cell suspension cultures. Maximum stimulation of a coumarin compound was after one day of exposure using 1 mg HgCl₂ l^–1. The compound was identified by HPLC and GC-MS analyses as 7-hydroxycoumarin (umbelliferone).     

Expression of the ipomoelin gene from sweet potato is regulated by dephosphorylated proteins, calcium ion and ethylene

A wound‐inducible cDNA, ipomoelin (IPO) was isolated from the subtraction library of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas cv. Tainung 57) and used as a molecular probe to investigate the transduction pathway of wounding signal within plant cells. Following mechanical wounding of the leaves of sweet potato, IPO mRNA accumulation peaked at 6 h and then continuously declined. However, IPO gene expression in the apical unwounded leaves began at 6 h after wounding and continued for a further 10 h. Besides mechanical wounding, methyl jasmonate (MeJA) was identified as a signal transducer leading to the accumulation of IPO mRNA. Treatment with salicylic acid reduced the production of IPO mRNA, further supporting the involvement of the octadecanoid pathway in the signal transduction of wounding in sweet potato. In addition, ethylene was involved in the signal pathway and induced the expression of the IPO gene. Furthermore, the application of okadaic acid, a protein phosphatase inhibitor, blocked the accumulation of IPO mRNA induced by MeJA or ethylene, indicating that activation of the IPO gene by both MeJA and ethylene was via dephosphorylated proteins. The presence of a calcium ion chelator or channel blockers also inhibited the expression of the IPO gene after wounding. However, investigation by confocal scanning microscopy further pointed out that mechanical wounding rather than the application of MeJA induced the accumulation of the calcium ion. These results may indicate that the calcium ion is also involved in the activation of IPO mRNA. In addition, wounding signals the accumulation of calcium ion first and then stimulates the biosynthesis of MeJA in sweet potato. Hence, the reaction sequence of signal transducers, including the calcium ion, MeJA and protein kinase/phosphatase, in the wounding signalling pathway of sweet potato is suggested in this report.

甘薯愈伤组织中的淀粉酶

从甘薯愈伤组织和块根可溶性提取物中淀粉酶的非变性凝胶电泳和活性染色发现 ,愈伤组织和块根的淀粉酶完全不同。前者有 4种不同大小的淀粉酶 (2种α 淀粉酶和 2种 β 淀粉酶 ) ,而后者只有一种 (β 淀粉酶 ) ;其次 ,块根 β 淀粉酶对EDTA和 β 巯基乙醇都不敏感 ,而愈伤组织的淀粉酶对EDTA和 β 巯基乙醇都敏感。这些结果表明甘薯愈伤组织中不仅淀粉酶同工酶的数量多 ,而且包括α和 β两种类型。     

冷锻炼对甜椒叶片光合作用及其低温光抑制的影响

以冷敏感植物甜椒 (CapsicumannuumL .)抗冷性不同的两个品种为试材 ,利用CIRAS 1光合测定系统和FMS2调制式荧光仪 ,在控温控光条件下分析比较了冷锻炼苗与未经锻炼苗的叶片光合特性、叶绿素荧光参数对温度的响应。结果表明 ,随着温度的降低 ,无论是否经过锻炼 ,低温主要通过抑制碳同化能力来影响光合作用 ,并使光能过剩 ,导致低温光抑制。提高环境CO2 浓度以增强暗反应对光能的利用 ,低温光抑制减轻。 5d的亚适温锻炼过程中甜椒叶片已发生一定程度的光抑制 ,但锻炼苗叶片能在低温下维持较高的光系统II光化学效率(ФPSII)、光化学猝灭系数 (qP)和光适应下光系统II最大光化学效率 (Fv′/Fm)值 ;冷锻炼提高了两品种低温下对光抑制的抗性 ,而且对抗冷品种的作用效果更明显     

Triacontanol-supported micropropagation of woody plants

 The effectiveness of triacontanol in the micropropagation of two woody, economically important fruit plant species was investigated. Triacontanol was added to the routine multiplication and rooting media of apple (Malus domestica cv. JTE-E4) and sour cherry (Cerasus fruticosa cv. Probocskai) rootstocks at concentrations of 2, 5, 10 and 20 μg/l. It was found to increase the number of shoots and the fresh weight of apple in the multiplication phase and to enhance root number and chlorophyll content in the rooting phase. The addition of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) to the media further improved the effect of triacontanol. A less pronounced effect could be seen in the multiplication phase of sour cherry, although there was an enhancement of shoot proliferation. In the rooting phase, however, the application of triacontanol caused a significant increase in the number of roots per plant, and this effect was further improved when triacontanol was combined with 0.5 mg indole-3-butyric acid/l.

Aphid and host‐plant genotype × genotype interactions under elevated CO2

1. Elevated CO₂ can alter plant physiology and morphology, and these changes are expected to impact diet quality for insect herbivores. While the plastic responses of insect herbivores have been well studied, less is known about the propensity of insects to adapt to such changes. Genetic variation in insect responses to elevated CO₂ and genetic interactions between insects and their host plants may exist and provide the necessary raw material for adaptation. 2. We used clonal lines of Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) aphids to examine genotype‐specific responses to elevated CO₂. We used the host plant Schedonorus arundinaceus (tall fescue; Schreb), which is capable of asexual reproduction, to investigate host plant genotype‐specific effects and possible host plant‐by‐insect genotype interactions. The abundance and density of three R. padi genotypes on three tall fescue genotypes under three concentrations of CO₂ (ambient, 700, and 1000 ppm) in a controlled greenhouse environment were examined. 3. Aphid abundance decreased in the 700 ppm CO₂ concentration, but increased in the 1000 ppm concentration relative to ambient. The effect of CO₂ on aphid density was dependent on host plant genotype; the density of aphids in high CO₂ decreased for two plant genotypes but was unchanged in one. No interaction between aphid genotype and elevated CO₂ was found, nor did we find significant genotype‐by‐genotype interactions. 4. This study suggests that the density of R. padi aphids feeding on tall fescue may decrease under elevated CO₂ for some plant genotypes. The likely impact of genotype‐specific responses on future changes in the genetic structure of plant and insect populations is discussed.
