镉诱导拟南芥幼苗DNA损伤

采用随机扩增多态性DNA(random amplified polymorphic DNA,RAPD)标记技术,并结合幼苗的形态和生理指标,研究镉(Cd)胁迫对拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana)幼苗基因组DNA损伤的影响.结果表明,不同浓度(0.25 ～5.0 mg·L-1)Cd处理24 d后,拟南芥幼苗根生长受到显著抑制,地上部分可溶性蛋白质含量呈先升高后降低的趋势,但对拟南芥幼苗叶片数、鲜重及叶绿素含量影响不大.选用12条寡核苷酸引物对拟南芥幼苗地上部分与根系基因组DNA进行PCR( polymerase chain reaction)扩增,发现处理组与对照组RAPD图谱之间存在明显差异,且与镉浓度之间存在剂量-效应关系.基因组模板的稳定性(genomic template stability,GTS)随着Cd浓度的增加而降低.3个处理组幼苗地上部分GTS分别为91％、89％和80％;相应根部GTS分别为71％、67％和60％.研究表明,利用RAPD技术获得的拟南芥DNA多态性变化可作为检测镉遗传毒性效应的生物标记物.比照其他几个指标,拟南芥幼苗根部RAPD谱带变化的敏感性更为优异,具有较好的应用前景.     

盐胁迫对高羊茅(Festuca arundinacea)幼苗生长和离子分布的影响

盐胁迫环境抑制植物的生长，影响植物组织的离子分布，不同的盐分组成对植物的抑制伤害存在差异，为了研究上海市临港新城滨海盐渍土的生态恢复和重建，模拟该地区的盐分组成，进行了高羊茅（Festuca arundinacea）幼苗的盐胁迫试验。高羊茅种子在非盐胁迫条件下萌发，出苗5d后，进行了不同浓度NaCl：0、50、100、150、200、300、400mmol／L处理，15d后测定生长情况、组织含水量和Na^＋、K^＋、Ca^2＋、Mg^2＋等离子含量。研究结果表明：盐分对高羊茅幼苗的抑制作用随NaCl浓度增加而加剧，低盐胁迫环境下，幼苗地上部分和根系的鲜重、干重和含水量都与对照没有显著性差异，但是高盐环境严重影响了高羊茅幼苗的生长，而且对地上部分的抑制作用大于根部；盐胁迫影响植物组织的离子分布，Na^＋浓度持续增加，Ca^2＋和K^＋浓度下降，Mg^2＋含量的影响不大；各组织中K／Na、Ca／Na和Mg／Na随盐胁迫增加而下降。     

重金属诱导拟南芥原生质体DNA损伤的单细胞凝胶电泳检测

以拟南芥原生质体为实验体系,研究不同浓度的3种重金属离子对拟南芥原生质体的毒性和DNA损伤的差异。结果表明,用1-5mmol·L^-1的Zn^2＋、Cd^2＋和Cu^2＋分别处理的拟南芥原生质体,2小时内活力逐渐下降,并表现出明显的浓度依赖性：与相同浓度的Cd^2＋和Cu^2＋相比,Zn^2＋对拟南芥原生质体活力的影响程度较小,表现出较低的毒性。单细胞凝胶电泳检测发现,用0．1-0．8mmol·L^-1的Zn^2＋、Cd^2＋和Cu^2＋分别处理拟南芥原生质体30分钟,以OTM值表示的原生质体DNA损伤量随重金属离子浓度的增加而递增：相同浓度（0．5mmol·L^-1）的3种重金属离子相比,Zn^2＋对原生质体的遗传毒性明显低于Cu^2＋和Cd^2＋。综合原生质体活力和DNA损伤的单细胞凝胶电泳检测结果,发现ZnO^2＋对拟南芥原生质体的遗传毒性较低,而CdO^2＋和Cu^2＋的遗传毒性较高。本研究建立的拟南芥原生质体实验体系,结合运用单细胞凝胶电泳技术,能够快速、灵敏地检测重金属对植物细胞的遗传毒性。

镧浸种对水稻种子萌发及幼苗生长的影响

以水稻种子为材料,研究了稀土元素镧对水稻种子活力和幼苗生长的影响。结果表明,1~20mg.L-1La3+处理能提高水稻种子的活力,提高蛋白酶、淀粉酶和脂肪酶的活性,并能促进水稻茎、叶和根系的生长,其中10mg.L-1La3+处理效果最佳。当浓度超过30mg.L-1时,水稻种子萌发和幼苗生长受到抑制。此外,镧对水稻植株地下部分(根系)生长的影响比地上部分(茎叶)生长的影响要明显。镧对水稻种子萌发期间3种酶活性的影响程度表现为蛋白酶>脂肪酶>淀粉酶。     

镉腔迫下小麦根系分泌物的变化

通过水培和砂培两种方法,研究了镉胁迫下小麦（Triticum aestivm L.)根系分泌物变化。通过研究镉对小麦根系分泌氨基酸和糖,根系分泌其它一次次生代谢物质等的影响,以及根系分泌物对蔬菜种子萌发的影响,探讨镉胁迫下植物根系的生理生态效应。研究结果表明：镉胁迫下,小麦根系分泌物无论在量上还是质上都有变化。镉胁迫下根系分泌的电解质,糖类,氨基酸以及其它一些次生代谢物质都有所变化,但变化情况有差异。电解质外渗率,糖类随Cd^2＋浓度升高而增加,在低浓度Cd^2 作用下（0.5mg/L),随处理浓度的升高,氨基酸分泌量增加,当处理浓度高于相应浓度时,氨基酸分泌量随浓度升高而减少。随Cd^2 浓度升高,次生代谢物分泌种类减少。这说明小麦通过改变根分泌作用而缓解镉危害。由于根系分泌次生代谢物的活动比较复杂,因而根系的分泌作用有待于进一步研究。根系分泌物中可能含有某些物质抑制萝卜,白菜种子萌发,这是涉及到植物他感作用的问题,值得并有待于进一步研究。初步分析小麦根系在不同的环境中对镉胁迫的响应方式,为以后根分泌物的深入研究提供了一定的思路,也为镉污染区农作物的合理栽培提供新的参考资料。     

Zn、Cd及其复合对小麦幼苗吸收Ca、Fe、Mn的影响

研究了溶液培养条件下Cd、Zn及其复合对小麦幼苗吸收Ca、Fe、Mn的影响.结果表明,小麦幼苗对Zn、Cd的吸收随溶液中Cd²⁺、Zn²⁺浓度的升高而增加,Cd、Zn同时存在时与其单独作用时幼苗对它们的吸收不同,Zn影响幼苗对Cd的吸收,Cd对Zn的吸收起抑制作用.Ca、Mn的吸收随溶液中Cd²⁺、Zn²⁺浓度升高而呈下降趋势,在Cd单独处理组和Zn单独处理组中Fe的吸收随Cd²⁺、Zn²⁺浓度升高而增加,但在Zn+Cd处理组中,Fe的吸收则呈下降趋势,其效应方式还与作物具体部位有关.     

外源脱落酸对小麦幼苗抗镉胁迫能力的影响

以小麦(Triticum aestivum L.)为试材,采用水培法研究了100mg/L镉(Cd2+)胁迫条件下施用外源脱落酸(ABA)对小麦幼苗生长及某些生理生化指标的影响。结果表明:(1)100mg/L Cd2+胁迫下,小麦叶片膜脂过氧化产物丙二醛(MDA)含量显著提高,植株生长受到抑制;(2)外源ABA能够明显提高Cd2+胁迫小麦幼苗的根系活力,增加其叶片SOD、CAT和POD活性,促进其脯氨酸积累,降低MDA的含量,并以5.0μmol/L ABA的效果最明显;(3)1.0～5.0μmol/L外源ABA不同程度地缓解Cd2+胁迫对小麦幼苗生长的抑制作用,且5.0μmol/L时效果最明显,其株高、根长、总干重分别比单一Cd2+胁迫处理显著提高6.73%、149%和10.52%,而10.0μmol/LABA反而加重了Cd2+对小麦幼苗生长的伤害。因此,适宜浓度的外源ABA能够通过增加体内保护酶活性和脯氨酸含量来缓解Cd2+胁迫对小麦幼苗生长的抑制作用,增强小麦幼苗的抗Cd2+胁迫能力,并以5.0μmol/L ABA处理效果最好。     

Aluminum effects on calcium fluxes at the root apex of aluminum-tolerant and aluminum-sensitive wheat cultivars

The role of Ca²⁺ transport in the mechanism of Al toxicity was investigated, using a Ca²⁺-selective microelectrode system to study Al effects on root apical Ca²⁺ fluxes in two wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars: Al-tolerant Atlas 66 and Al-sensitive Scout 66. Intact 3-day-old low-salt-grown (100 micromolar CaCl₂, pH 4.5) wheat seedlings were used, and it was found that both cultivars maintained similar rates of net Ca²⁺ uptake in the absence of Al. Addition of Al concentrations that were toxic to Scout (5-20 micromolar AlCl₃) immediately and dramatically inhibited Ca²⁺ uptake in Scout, whereas Ca²⁺ transport in Atlas was relatively unaffected. The Al-induced inhibition of Ca²⁺ uptake in Scout 66 was rapidly reversed following removal of Al from the solution bathing the roots. Similar studies with morphologically intact root cell wall preparations indicated that the Al effects did not involve Al-Ca interactions in the cell wall. These results suggest that Al inhibits Ca²⁺ influx across the root plasmalemma, possibly via blockage of calcium channels. The differential effect of Al on Ca²⁺ transport in Al-sensitive Scout and Al-tolerant Atlas suggests that Al blockage of Ca²⁺ channels could play a role in the cellular mechanism of Al toxicity in higher plants.     

Cd2+胁迫对小麦幼苗生长及呼吸作用的影响

以小麦品种郑州9023为材料,研究了不同浓度Cd2 胁迫对小麦幼苗生长及呼吸作用的影响.结果显示:(1)随Cd2 胁迫浓度的升高,小麦幼苗根和芽的呼吸速率及琥珀酸脱氢酶(SDH)活性均呈先上升后下降的趋势.(2)Cd2 胁迫对小麦幼苗根中细胞色素氧化酶(COD)、苹果酸脱氢酶(MDH)、异柠檬酸脱氢酶(IDH)同工酶表达的影响较小,都呈低浓度诱导、高浓度抑制的效应,且Cd2 处理诱导了根中新的MDH、IDH同工酶带的表达;而不同浓度Cd2 对小麦幼苗芽中COD、MDH、IDH同工酶的表达影响较小.(3)随Cd2 胁迫浓度的增加,芽长、根长、芽干重、根干重均呈持续下降的趋势,且对根的抑制作用明显大于对芽.研究表明,Cd2 胁迫可以改变小麦幼苗根和芽中SDH、COD、MDHI、DH等呼吸作用关键酶的活性或同工酶表达,从而影响其呼吸作用,最终抑制了幼苗的生长.     

A comparative study on the aluminium- and copper-induced organic acid exudation from wheat roots

It is well established that aluminium (Al) and some heavy metals can elicit organic acid exudation from a range of species. In the present research we found that copper (Cu) can also induce organic acid exudation from the roots of wheat, rye, triticale, maize and soybean. Using intact wheat plants, we made a comparative study of Al- and Cu- induced organic acid exudation. In 5-day-old wheat seedlings, severe Cu stress (40 µ M CuCl₂) mainly induced the exudation of malate and citrate, and Al-tolerant genotypes could release significantly greater amounts of malate than Al-sensitive genotypes. The time course of the exudation of malate and citrate from the roots of 5-day-old seedlings of wheat (cv. Atlas) in 200 µ M AlCl₃ was similar to that in 40 µ M CuCl₂. In older wheat plants (15-day-old), moderate Cu stress (12 µ M CuCl₂) induced the exudation of large amounts of citrate and addition of Al or La sharply reduced Cu-induced citrate exudation, while Cu or La did not affect Al-induced malate efflux. When half of the root system of Atlas wheat was immersed in Al- or Cu-containing solution and the remaining half in Al- or Cu-free solution, organic acids were only exuded into the solution containing Al or Cu. This suggests that no long distance signal transport is involved in organic acid exudation induced by Al or Cu, and that direct contact of Al or Cu with plant roots is a prerequisite for the induction of organic acid exudation. The anion-channel inhibitor niflumic acid (NIF) significantly stimulated the exudation of both citrate and malate from 5-day-old wheat seedlings under severe Al or Cu stress. Our results suggest that Cu-induced organic acid efflux may be a common response, which may play a role in alleviating Cu toxicity in plants.     

镉对小麦幼苗脂质过氧化和保护酶活性的影响

小麦幼苗经镉胁迫后,随着镉浓度的增高,叶征和根系中的膜脂过氧化产物丙二醛（ＭＤＡ）的含量和过氧物酶（ＰＯＤ）活性明显升高,超氧物歧化酶（ＳＯＤ）活性也有所提高。叶片中ＭＤＡ积累量和ＳＯＤ活性都高于根,而ＰＯＤ活性则是根高于叶片。随幼苗生长时间延长,叶片和根中的ＭＤＡ积累量增加,而ＳＯＤ活性却降低。     

Effect of hypobaric conditions on ethylene evolution and growth of lettuce and wheat

Elevated levels of ethylene occur in enclosed crop production systems and in spaceflight environments, leading to adverse plant growth and sterility. There are engineering advantages in growing plants at hypobaric (reduced atmospheric pressure) conditions in biomass production for extraterrestrial base or spaceflight environments. Objectives of this research were to characterize the influence of hypobaria on growth and ethylene evolution of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and wheat (Triticum aestivum). Plants were grown under variable total gas pressures [from 30 to 101 kPa (ambient)]. In one study, lettuce and wheat were direct seeded, germinated and grown in the same chambers for 28 d at 50 or 101 kPa. Hypobaria increased plant growth and did not alter germination rate. During a 10-day study, 28-day-old lettuce and 40-day-old wheat seedlings were transplanted together in the same low and ambient pressure chambers; ethylene accumulated in the chambers, but the rate of production by both lettuce and wheat was reduced more than 65% under 30 kPa compared with ambient pressure (101 kPa). Low O2 concentrations [partial pressure of O2 (pO2) = 6.2 kPa] inhibited ethylene production by lettuce under both low (30 kPa) and ambient pressure, whereas ethylene production by wheat was inhibited at low pressure but not low O2 concentration. There was a negative linear correlation between increasing ethylene concentration and decreasing chlorophyll content of lettuce and wheat. Lettuce had higher production of ethylene and showed greater sensitivity to ethylene than wheat. The hypobaric effect on reduced ethylene production was greater than that of just hypoxia (low oxygen).
