乙烯诱导西瓜果实的水渍化败坏

为了研究乙烯在西瓜(Citrullus lanatusThunb.Mansfeld)果实水渍化败坏过程中的作用,先将果实在5μL/L 1-甲基环丙烯(1-MCP)气体中处理18 h,然后在50 μL/L乙烯和20℃温度下贮藏.西瓜果实对乙烯处理的最初反应表现为胎座组织的电导率和游离汁液增加,同时出现组织软化和水渍化.水渍化的症状最初在靠近花萼端的内果皮中发生,在乙烯处理的第2天开始出现,ACC合成酶(ACS)和ACC氧化酶(ACO)的活性明显提高.1-MCP单独处理不产生任何明显的作用,但是会完全抑制外源乙烯诱导的水渍化败坏.没有经过乙烯处理的西瓜果实,贮藏2 d以后出现呼吸强度和乙烯释放量的高峰,10 d以后水渍化现象也零星出现.这些结果和1-MCP的预防效果说明,西瓜果实的水渍化败坏是一种由乙烯诱导的衰老现象.     

1-甲基环丙烯对低温贮藏的香蕉果实后熟的影响

香蕉果实先在6℃下贮藏不同时间后转入常温用1-甲基环丙烯(1-MCP)处理或先以1-MCP处理后转入6℃下贮藏不同时间,然后在常温下用乙烯利处理,结果表明, 经1-MCP处理过的果实对乙烯不敏感,后熟过程受抑;而未经1-MCP处理的果实能够后熟,并有明显的呼吸及乙烯峰出现.     

1-甲基环丙烯对台湾青枣采后生理效应的影响

研究了台湾青枣(Ziziphus mauritiana Lam．cv．Liuxiang)在25℃下贮藏期间1-甲基环丙稀(1-MCP)处理对果实品质和一些生理指标的影响。结果表明：250μgL^-1的1-MCP有效抑制了果实腐烂和褐变。在25℃下贮藏12d,对照和处理的好果率分别为12．5％和92．5％。果实经1-MCP处理后,乙烯合成受到显著抑制,乙烯高峰出现延迟,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化物酶(POD)活性提高,从而减缓了丙二醛(MDA)的积累和细胞膜透性的升高。     

Non‐specificity of ethylene inhibitors: ‘double‐edged’ tools to find out new targets involved in the root morphogenetic programme

In the last decade, genetic and pharmacological approaches have been used to explore ethylene biosynthesis and perception in order to study the role of ethylene and ethylene/auxin interaction in root architecture development. However, recent findings with pharmacological approaches highlight the non‐specificity of commonly used inhibitors. This suggests that caution is required for interpreting these studies and that the use of pharmacological agents is a ‘double‐edged’ tool. On one hand, non‐specific effects make interpretation difficult unless other experiments, such as with different mutants or with multiple diversely acting chemicals, are conducted. On the other hand, the non‐specificity of inhibitors opens up the possibility of uncovering some ligands or modulators of new receptors such as plant glutamate‐like receptors and importance of some metabolic hubs in carbon and nitrogen metabolism such as the pyridoxal phosphate biosynthesis involved in the regulation of the root morphogenetic programme. Identification of such targets is a critical issue to improve the efficiency of absorption of macronutrients in relation to root the morphogenetic programme.

Influence of 1‐methylcyclopropene (1‐MCP) on the production of bacterial cellulose biosynthesized by Acetobacter xylinum under the agitated culture

Aims: Bacterial cellulose is an extracellular polysaccharide secreted by Acetobacter xylinum, which has become a novel material increasingly used in food and medical industries. However, its broad application is limited by its low yield and high cost. 1‐Methylcyclopropene (1‐MCP) is a potent inhibitor to either exogenous or endogenous ethylene during the biological senescence of plants, which has been broadly applied in commercial preservation of fruits and vegetables. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 1‐MCP on both the growth of Acet.  xylinum and its cellulose production to demonstrate the potential enhancement of bacterial cellulose yield. Methods and Results: Three groups of samples were fermented under agitated culture with 125 rev min^?1 rotational speed. To the culture media, 0·14 mg of 1‐MCP contained in 100 mg dextrose powder was added on assigned days or on the first culture day only. Results from the measurement of bacterial cell concentration and bacterial cellulose yield at the end of a 12‐day culture demonstrated that cultures excluding 1‐MCP displayed a higher cell concentration and a lower cellulose production, while cultures containing 1‐MCP produced 15·6% more cellulose (1‐MCP added on day 1) and 25·4% (1‐MCP added on each assigned day) with less biomass. Conclusions: 1‐MCP was able to affect the growth of Acet. xylinum cells and resulted in increasing bacterial cellulose yield up to 25·4% over controls, which did not contain 1‐MCP. Significance and Impact of the Study: This was the first study to use the growth inhibitor of plants to investigate its effects on bacterial growth and production. It also demonstrated a significant enhancement of bacterial cellulose yield by the addition of 1‐MCP during the common agitated culture of Acet. xylinum.
