Promotive Effect of Low Concentrations of NaHSO3 on Photophosphorylation and Photosynthesis in Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Transgenic Rice Leaves

Spraying a 1-2 mmol/L solution of NaHSO3 on the leaves of wild-type rice (Oryza sativa L.)Kitaake (WT), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) transgenic (PC) rice and PEPC phosphate dikinase(PPDK) transgenic rice (PC PK), in which the germplasm was transformed with wild-type Kitaake as the gene receptor, resulted in an enhancement of the net photosynthetic rate by 23.0%, 28.8%, and 34.4%,respectively, for more than 3 d. It was also observed that NaHSO3 application caused an increase in the ATP content in leaves. Spraying PMS (a cofactor catalysing the photophosphorylation cycle) and NaHSO3 separately or together on leaves resulted in an increase in photosynthesis with all treatments. There was no additional effect on photosynthetic rate when the mixture was applied, suggesting that the mechanism by which NaHSO3 promotes photosynthesis is similar to the mechanism by which PMS acts and that both of compounds enhanced the supply of ATE After spraying a solution of NaHSO3 on leaves, compared with the WT Kitaake rice, a greater enhancement of net photosynthetic rate was observed in PEPC transgenic(PC) and PEPC PPDK transgenic (PC PK) rice, with the greatest increase being observed in the latter group. Therefore ATP supply may become the limiting factor that concentrates CO2 in rice leaves transformed with an exogenous PEPC gene and exogenous PEPC PPDK genes.     

Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Chitosan-Binding Protein from Non-Heading Chinese Cabbage Leaves

To know the mechanism of ammonia assimilation in non-heading Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis (L.) Makino) leaves regulated by chitosan (CTS), a CTS-binding protein was isolated from non-heading Chinese cabbage leaves using the chitosan affinity chromatography approach and this CTS-binding protein was partially characterized. The profile of the 53.1 kDa purified protein on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was compared with the native molecular weight of 106.5 kDa, which indicated that the purified protein was a dimer with identical subunits. After isoelectric focusing, a band was obtained at pH 8.25. The agglutination test and periodic acid-Schiff staining further revealed that the protein was a glycoprotein with lectin activity. Moreover, the purified protein contained 17.4% (w/w) neutral carbohydrate and 82.56% (w/w) protein. The comparison of this protein and the 67 kDa CTS-binding protein isolated previously from Rubus culture tissue exhibited some differences in characterization. According to results of peptide mass fingerprinting analysis, the protein purified in the present study does not show any similarity with any protein in the protein data bank. Thus, it was deduced that the protein purified in the present study is a novel CTS-binding protein.     

镉污染对烟草叶片超微结构及部分元素含量的影响

采用水培试验,利用电感耦合等离子体、透射电镜、扫描电镜等技术研究了镉污染对烟草(N icotiana tabacum)叶绿素含量及叶绿素a/b值、叶下表皮气孔器密度、腺毛密度、叶片细胞超微结构和P、K、C a等元素含量的影响,以及叶片细胞、腺毛对镉污染的反应。结果表明随着营养液中镉浓度的增高,烟草叶绿素含量及叶绿素a/b值降低;叶下表皮气孔器的密度及腺毛的密度增加;叶绿体中组成基粒的类囊体层数减少、分布不均、或粘连成索状,叶绿体膜系统崩溃,内外膜均解体,类囊体消失;但烟草可通过将镉隔离于细胞壁中或排出表皮细胞或通过腺毛分泌作用来减少其毒害。随着营养液中镉浓度的增高,腺毛分泌物中S i、K、A l、C a、M g、F e的含量增加;浓度为3m g/L的镉污染可增加叶片中P、C a、M g、F e、Cu、Zn、A l元素的含量,但浓度为30m g/L的镉污染造成叶片中P、C a、M g、F e、Cu、Zn、A l元素含量的减少;镉污染可引起叶片中N a含量增加,且随着营养液中镉浓度的增高N a含量增加;镉污染造成K、M n在叶片中的含量下降,而且随着营养液中镉浓度的增高,K、M n含量下降幅度增加。     

中国稻属植物叶片亚显微结构比较研究

用扫描电镜对原产中国的3种野生稻和2个栽培稻品种的叶片表面亚显微结构,尤其是气孔列数、气孔频度、气孔器乳突、大瘤状乳突、小栓细胞乳突等进行比较研究。结果显示,气孔频度的变化趋势是沿着疣粒野生稻-药用野生稻-栽培稻IR36-簿通野生稻-栽培稻珍汕97逐渐增大,其变化幅度在635-1737个／mm^2之间;气孔器乳突除疣粒野生稻为6个外,其余通常为4个;疣粒野生稻既无大瘤状乳突亦无木栓细胞乳突．药用野生稻无木栓细胞乳突。这些性状不仅具什种的特异性,而且与亲缘关系远近有关,可以作为稻属分类的依据。     

钙对烟草叶片热激忍耐和活性氧代谢的影响

热胁迫导致烟草叶片细胞膜系统显著受损,表现为SOD活性降低和MDA含量明显升高,叶片叶绿素含量下降,活性氧增加。10mmol/LcaCl2溶液处理烟草幼苗后,能有效降低热胁迫下叶片细胞膜透性,维持较高的SOD和CAT等抗氧化酶活性,减缓O2^-形成和膜脂过氧化反应。研究结果表明,CaCl2处理提高了烟草叶片膜稳定性和膜保护酶活性,有利于保护细胞膜结构,降低高温对烟草幼苗的伤害。钙离子螯合剂EGTA能在一定程度上降低烟草叶片的抗热性。     

鼎湖山森林群落不同演替阶段优势种叶生态解剖特征研究

对南亚热带鼎湖山森林群落不同演替阶段8种优势树种进行了叶生态解剖学研究。观察的叶片解剖特征有：叶腹角质膜厚度、栅栏组织厚度、海绵组织厚度、叶背角质膜厚度及叶总厚度等。马尾松（Pinus massoniana)在针叶林群落和针阔叶混交林群落生境中,针阔叶混交林中叶片厚度变小,主脉管胞、树脂道平均直径变小。从针阔叶混交林演替阶段到季风常绿阔叶林演替阶段,锥栗（Castanopsis chinensis)叶片厚度、海绵组织厚度增加,栅栏组织厚度、P／S值（栅栏组织与海绵组织厚度比）减少;荷木（Schima superba)和黄果厚桂（Cryptocarya concinna)叶片厚度、栅栏组织厚度、叶腹及叶背角质膜厚度差异显著;从针阔叶混交林演替阶段到季风常绿阔叶林演替阶段,锥栗、荷木、黄果厚寺叶片厚度和栅栏组织厚度等差异均显著。不同生境下林内气温、相对湿度、光合有效辐射等小气候特征是叶片结构特征差异的主要影响因子,叶片结构差异反映了叶片结构在一定程度上对生境的适应。     

内生真菌感染对干旱胁迫下黑麦草生长的影响

 内生真菌是生活在健康植物的茎叶内,形成不明显感染的一类真菌。以黑麦草（Lolium perenne L.）为实验材料,研究在不同强度的干旱胁迫下内生真菌（Neotyphodium lolii）侵染对其叶片延伸生长、分蘖数和生物量的影响。结果表明,与非感染种群相比,内生真菌感染对黑麦草叶片延伸速率无明显促进作用;内生真菌感染种群具有明显较多的分蘖数;在重度胁迫并经过恢复期后,内生真菌感染种群具有较高的根冠比。因而内生真菌可能通过提高植物的分蘖能力和促进有机物向根系的分配来促进宿主植物的营养生长并提高其抗旱性
