The anti-photooxidation of anthocyanins-rich leaves of a purple rice cultivar

In the leaf of rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivar Yunnan purple rice,the anthocyanins with an obvious absorption peak at 530nm were distributed in the cells of upper and lower epidermis,bulliform tissue and bristle. The maximal photosynthetic oxygen evolution rate and chlorophyll content in flag leaves were 28% and 23%,respectively,more than the common green leaf rice cultivar Chijiaoru-anzhan. Higher chlorophyll content is probably one of the physiological adaptations for enhancing light harvesting capacity of the antenna in photosystems in this cyanic leaves species. Upon the photooxidation of leaf segments mediated by methyl viologen in weak light for 3 days,the distinct bleaching of anthocyanins in purple rice was associated with the reduction of scavenging ability to DPPH· free radical ability and the increase in membrane leakage rate. But almost no changes in contents of flavonoids and total phenolics were observed. Chlorophyll fluorescence parameters Fv/Fo,qP and φPSⅡ decreased with the increase in NPQ and DES of xanthophylls cycle after photooxidation treatment. Green rice leaves showed more decrease in DPPH· scavenging rate and more increase in cell membrane leakage rate but showed a trace of anthocyanins during photooxidation. It is sug-gested that anthocyanin may be a beneficial and primary antioxidant in sun cyanic rice leaves against oxidative stress induced by environmental adversity. And photooxidation could induce different changing patterns of anthocyanins between the tested purple and green rice leaves.     

Mechanism for photoinactivation of PSII by methyl viologen at two temperatures in the leaves of rice (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Oryza sativa</Emphasis> L.)

We studied the photooxidative effects of methyl viologen (MV) on PSII in rice (Oryza sativa L). Leaves were held at either room temperature (RT) or 4°C. In the presence of MV, the photochemical efficiency of PSII, or F_v/F_m, was more depressed at RT than at the low temperature (LT), but the loss of D1 protein that was detected at RT was not observed at LT. However, the decline in the content of functional PSII, 1/F_o - 1/F_m, was similar for MV-treated leaves at either temperature. These results suggest that, at LT, PSII is not protected from MV-induced photooxidation, although degradation of the D1 protein is delayed. The 1/F_o - 1/F_m decreased by MV treatment at RT was significantly recovered during dark incubation for 2 h. Recovery of a small portion of 1/F_o - 1/F_m was also possible, even for tissues treated with MV at LT. Therefore, we believe that MV-induced reversible photoinactivation may exist This possibility is further discussed in terms of changes in the de-epoxidation state and the rate of PSII-driven electron transport.

两种入侵能力不同的莲子草光合系统稳定性的比较研究

为揭示恶性杂草空心莲子草入侵的部分机制,并为采取防控措施降低其危害提供理论依据,比较了空心莲子草与其同属的入侵能力相对较弱的刺花莲子草对光氧化胁迫(由10μmol·L-1甲基紫精在光强100μmol·m-2·s-1条件下诱导产生)的生理响应。结果表明:在光氧化胁迫下,空心莲子草和刺花莲子草两者的叶绿素、类胡萝卜素、总酚和类黄酮含量均显著下降,叶片细胞死亡率相应升高,但空心莲子草对光氧化胁迫具有较高的忍耐性,这可能与其总酚和类黄酮含量以及DPPH·(1,1-二苯基苦基苯肼)自由基清除能力有关。这种特性可能是空心莲子草光合系统稳定性更高、入侵能力更强和危害性更大的重要因素之一。

The effect of copper on chlorophyll organization during greening of barley leaves

The effect of copper on chlorophyll organization and function during greening of barley was examined, using chlorophyll fluorescence and photoacoustic techniques. Copper was found to inhibit pigment accumulation and to retard chlorophyll integration into the photosystems, as evident from low temperature (77 K) fluorescence spectra. Resolution of the minimal fluorescence (F₀) into active and inactive parts, indicated a higher inactive fraction with copper treatment. This was attributed to chlorophyll molecules which failed to integrate normally, a conclusion supported by the longer fluorescence lifetime observed in copper treated plants. A lower ratio of chlorophyll a to b and fluorescence induction transients, showing accelerated Photosystem II closure, both indicate that copper treatment resulted in a larger light-harvesting antenna. Another effect of copper treatment was the suppression of oxygen evolution, indicating a decrease in photosynthetic capacity. We suggest that the non-integrated chlorophyll fraction sensitizes photodamage in the membrane, contributing to disruption of electron flow and pigment accumulation.

Evaluation of a technique for the measurement of chlorophyll fluorescence from leaves exposed to continuous white light

Abstract An instrument for the generation and measurement of modulated chlorophyll fluorescence signals from leaves exposed to continuous, highintensity white light is described. Modulated fluorescence is generated in the leaf by pulsed diodes emitting low-intensity yellow radiation and is detected with a photodiode whose output is fed to an amplifier locked in to the frequency of the lightemitting diodes. Comparisons are made between the modulated fluorescence signals measured with this instrument and the continuous fluorescence signals emitted from dark-adapted leaf tissue and isolated thylakoids when photosynthetic activity is induced by exposure to a range of intensities of continuous broad-band, blue-green light. The modulated fluorescence signals were similar to the continuous fluorescence signals, but they were not always identical. The small differences between the two signals are mainly attributable to differences in the populations of chloroplasts being monitored in the two measurements as a result of differential penetration of the modulated and actinic light sources into the sample.     

Influence of bacterial leaf blight on the photosynthetic characteristics of resistant and susceptible rice

The effect of crop disease on photosynthetic characteristics is important for disease control. Two varieties, Shenzhou 98 and Neiwuyou 8015 with resistance and susceptibility to bacterial leaf blight (BLB), respectively, were selected, and the responses of the net photosynthetic rate (P_N) to active photon flux density (PPFD) and intercellular carbon dioxide concentration (C_i), as well as chlorophyll fluorescence, pigments and stomatal resistance (SR), were measured. The results showed that BLB infection greatly decreased the maximum photosynthetic rate (P_max), light saturation point (LSP), carboxylation efficiency (CE), maximal fluorescence (F_m) and actual photochemical efficiency of PSII ( Φ _PSII) but increased the light compensation point (LCP) and dark respiratory rate (R_D), which suggested that the performance of rice photosynthesis was decreased by BLB infection. The BLB infection had a lower effect on resistant rice Shenzhou 98 than on susceptible rice Neiwuyou 8015. The reduction of pigment and increased SR caused by BLB infection may have resulted in the decline in the photosynthetic rate. Significant effects of the BLB infection were observed on chlorophyll fluorescence F_m and Φ_PSII in resistant and susceptible rice. These parameters may be useful for noninvasive monitoring of plant disease considering the negative effect caused by other stresses.     

Feedback inhibition of photosynthesis in rice measured by O2 dependent transients

The kinetic properties of photosynthesis (both transient and steady-state) were monitored using three non-invasive techniques to evaluate limitations on triose-phosphate (triose-P) conversion to carbohydrate in rice. These included analyzing the O₂ sensitivity of CO₂ fixation and the assimilatory charge (AC) using gas exchange (estimate of the ribulose 1,5- bisphosphate pool) and measuring Photosystem II activity by chlorophyll fluorescence analysis under varying light, temperature and CO₂ partial pressures. Photosynthesis was inhibited transiently upon switching from 20 to 2 kPa O₂ (reversed O₂ sensitivity), the degree of which was correlated with a terminal, steady-state suppression of low O₂ enhancement of photosynthesis. Under current ambient levels of CO₂ and moderate to high light, the transient pattern was more obvious at 18 °C than at 26 °C while at 34 °C no tra nsient response was observed. The transient inhibition at 18 °C ranged from 15% to 31% depending on the pre-measurement temperature. This pattern, symptomatic of feedback, was observed with increasing light and CO₂ partial pressures with the degree of feedback decreasing from moderate (18 °C) up to high temperature (34 °C). Under feedback conditions, the rate of assimilation is shifted from being photorespiration limited to being triose-P utilization limited. Transitory changes in CO₂ assimilation rates (A) under low O₂ indicative of feedback coincided with a transitory drop in assimilatory charge (AC) and inhibition of electron transport. In contrast to previous studies with many C₃ species, our studies indicate that rice shows susceptibility to feedback inhibition under moderate temperatures and current atmospheric levels of CO₂.     

Spatial and temporal analysis of non-steady elongation of rice leaves

A precise knowledge of the temporal and spatial distributions of cell division and tissue expansion is essential for appropriate leaf sampling in omics studies and for analyses of plant–environment relations. Elongating leaves of rice were studied during their whole development for elongation rate, distribution of cell length, cell production rate and spatial distribution of growth in the leaf. In seven genotypes, the pattern of leaf elongation rate followed three phases: (1) an exponential increase before leaf appearance; (2) a short phase (2–4 d at 20 °C) with a stable leaf elongation rate around leaf appearance; and (3) a phase of 8–10 d with a progressive decrease in elongation rate. The profile of cell length along the leaf changed with time during the first and last phases, but was time invariant around appearance. We propose a method adapted to non-steady elongation based on anatomical measurements, which was successfully tested by comparing it with the pricking method. It allowed analysis of the change with time in the spatial distribution of growth from initiation to end of leaf growth. The length of leaf zones with cell division and tissue elongation varied with time, with maximums of 21 and 60 mm respectively around leaf appearance.
