盐生植物角果碱蓬种子二型性对环境的适应策略

角果碱蓬(Suaeda corniculata)是藜科一年生盐生植物, 在我国分布于北方盐碱滩涂和盐碱荒漠地区。角果碱蓬具有棕色和黑色两种异型体种子(简称棕色和黑色种子)。对采自内蒙古鄂托克前旗盐渍化生境的角果碱蓬二型种子的形态、休眠和萌发特性开展对比研究, 测定了二型种子休眠和萌发行为对温度、光照和盐分(NaCl)的响应, 以揭示盐生植物异型种子对温带盐漠生境的适应对策。结果表明: (1)二型性种子在大小、种皮特性和结实比例方面有显著差异。与黑色种子相比, 棕色种子个体较大, 种皮透水性强。黑色种子与棕色种子的结实比例约为5.6 : 1。(2)新成熟的棕色种子的萌发对各温度梯度和光照条件不敏感, 萌发率较高(84%-100%); 而新成熟的黑色种子萌发率较低(8%-78%), 萌发对光照敏感。(3)黑色种子具有浅度生理休眠, 种皮划破、赤霉素处理和低温层积均可有效地提高种子的萌发率。(4)二型种子萌发对土壤盐分的胁迫具有不同的响应。与黑色种子相比, 棕色种子对盐分胁迫不敏感, 在较高的盐分浓度下仍有较高的萌发率, 低温层积处理能够降低黑色种子对盐胁迫的敏感性, 有效地提高种子的初始萌发率、萌发恢复率和最终萌发率。角果碱蓬二型种子不同的形态、休眠和萌发特性, 提高了该物种在高度异质性生境中的适合度, 对种群成功地适应温带盐漠环境具有重要的意义。     

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Analysis of the physiological mechanism of salt-tolerant transgenic rice carrying a vacuolar Na+/H+ antiporter gene from Suaeda salsa

Salt stress is one of the most serious factors limiting the productivity of agricultural crops. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that vacuolar Na⁺/H⁺ antiporters play a crucial role in plant salt tolerance. In the present study, we expressed the Suaeda salsa vacuolar Na⁺/H⁺ antiporter SsNHX1 in transgenic rice to investigate whether this can increase the salt tolerance of rice, and to study how overexpression of this gene affected other salt-tolerant mechanisms. It was found that transgenic rice plants showed markedly enhanced tolerance to salt stress and to water deprivation compared with non-transgenic controls upon salt stress imposition under outdoor conditions. Measurements of ion levels indicated that K⁺, Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ contents were all higher in transgenic plants than in non-transformed controls. Furthermore, shoot V-ATPase hydrolytic activity was dramatically increased in transgenics compared to that of non-transformed controls under salt stress conditions. Physiological analysis also showed that the photosynthetic activity of the transformed plants was higher whereas the same plants had reduced reactive oxygen species generation. In addition, the soluble sugar content increased in the transgenics compared with that in non-transgenics. These results imply that up-regulation of a vacuolar Na⁺/H⁺ antiporter gene in transgenic rice might cause pleiotropic up-regulation of other salt-resistance-related mechanisms to improve salt tolerance.Fengyun Zhao and Zenglan Wang contributed equally to this work.     

Microsatellite markers for the tetraploid halophyte Suaeda maritima (L.) Dumort. (Chenopodiaceae) and cross-species amplification in related taxa

We developed 12 polymorphic microsatellite markers for the tetraploid halophyte Suaeda maritima (Chenopodiaceae). Population genetic parameters were estimated for three populations from different habitats (coastal and inland), using the program Tetrasat. Between two and 15 alleles per locus were observed. Mean expected heterozygosities (H(E) ) and Shannon-Wiener Diversity Indices (H') per locus and population ranged from zero to 0.852, and from zero to 2.990, respectively. The two inland populations were less diverse than the coastal one at most of the loci. All markers cross-amplified in the closely related Suaeda salsa, and all but one were transferable to Suaeda spicata and Suaeda salinaria.

Molecular cloning and characterization of betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase gene from Suaeda liaotungensis and its use in improved tolerance to salinity in transgenic tobacco

cDNA encoding betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) from the halophyte Suaeda liaotungensis has been cloned, sequenced and expressed in tobacco (Nictiana tabacum 89). The full-length cDNA is 1506 base pairs (bp) long and encodes a 502 amino-acid polypeptide. The cDNA fragment coding for the mature enzyme was cloned into vector pCAMBIA-1301 for expression in tobacco. Southern blotting analysis showed that that the Badh gene was integrated into the genome of tobacco. Tobacco expressing BADH survived on MS medium containing 200 mM NaCl, whereas the untransformed plants turned yellow after about 20 d and died.

研究了生长在正常大气CO₂和CO₂倍增环境中的盐生植物碱蓬(Suaedasalsa)幼苗呼吸酶活性对KCl和NaCl的反应。结果表明,在CO₂倍增(700μl·L^-1)和正常大气CO₂(350μl·L^-1)下,300mmol·L^-1KCl和NaCl均能抑制琥珀酸脱氢酶(SDH)和苹果酸脱氢酶(MDH)活性,而异柠檬酸脱氢酶(IDH)活性为NaCl抑制、KCl促进; NaCl和KCl明显抑制细胞色素氧化酶(CO)和光呼吸中乙醇酸氧化酶(GO)、羟基丙酮酸还原酶(HPR)活性; 并指出在KCl胁迫下,CO₂使三羧酸循环(TCAC)的运行变慢,NaCl胁迫下使其加快,TCAC运行限速步骤与MDH无关,CO为盐对呼吸代谢影响的重要位点。另外,K⁺、Na⁺对蛋白表达的影响有差异,CO₂可使盐胁迫下的碱蓬幼苗蛋白表达降低。     

A Remarkable New Leaf Type With Unusual Photosynthetic Tissue in a Central Asiatic Genus of Chenopodiaceae

Abstract: From the hygrohalophyte Borszczowia aralocaspica Bunge (Chenopodiaceae), a new leaf type with 1-layered chlorenchyma is described as "borszczovoid" and compared with other leaf types in subfamily Salsoloideae. The chlorenchyma is suspected to represent a unique C₄ type. Evidence is cited from anatomical studies and documented by micrographs and Carbon isotope determinations (ä¹³C values). The 1-layered photosynthetic tissue combines all essential anatomical characters of a 2-layered chlorenchyma of regular C₄ plants and is in intimate contact with concentrically arranged peripheral bundles. The ä¹³C values are − 13.03 ‰ from young stems and − 13.78 ‰ from leaves. The results are discussed in the anatomical, physiological and taxonomic framework. In addition, from distantly-related Suaeda species of section Conosperma the conospermoid leaf type is re-described. It is characterized by typical palisade and Kranz layers and differs from the C₄ suaedoid type by an external water-storaging hypodermis and an arrangement of Kranz cells reminiscent of the atriplicoid type from subfamily Chenopodioideae. From eight other species of Chenopodiaceae ä¹³C values are given for the first time.
