The aim of this work was to examine the correspondence between apoplastic/symplastic antioxidant status and previously reported plant age-related shifts in the ozone (O3) resistance of Plantago major L. Seed-grown plants were fumigated in duplicate controlled environment chambers with charcoal/Purafil®-filtered air (CFA) or CFA plus 70 nmol mol−1 O3 for 7 h d−1 over a 42 d period. Measurements of stomatal conductance and antioxidants were made after 14, 28 and 42 d fumigation, on leaves at an equivalent stage of development (youngest fully expanded leaf, measured c . 9 d after emergence). Ozone exposure resulted in a similar decline in stomatal conductance across plant ages, indicating that increases in O3 resistance with plant age were mediated through changes in the tolerance of leaf tissue rather than enhanced pollutant exclusion. Leaf apoplastic washing fluid was found to contain 'unspecific' peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and ascorbate, but not glutathione and the enzymes required to facilitate the regeneration of ascorbate from its oxidized forms. A weak induction in the activity of certain symplastic antioxidants was found after 14 d O3 fumigation, despite a lack of visible symptoms of injury, but shifts in symplastic antioxidant enzyme activity were not consistent with previously observed increases in resistance to O3 with plant age. By contrast, changes in 'unspecific' peroxidase activity and in the small pool of ascorbate in the leaf apoplast were found to accompany age-related shifts in O3 resistance. It is concluded that constituents of the leaf apoplast may constitute a potentially important front line defence against O3.  相似文献

Global climatic change scenarios predict a significant increase in future tropospheric ozone (O3) concentrations. The present investigation was done to assess the effects of elevated O3 (70 and 100 ppb) on electron transport, carbon fixation, stomatal conductance and pigment concentrations in two tropical soybean ( Glycine max L.) varieties, PK 472 and Bragg. Plants were exposed to O3 for 4 h·day−1 from 10:00 to 14:00 from germination to maturity. Photosynthesis of both varieties were adversely affected, but the reduction was higher in PK 472 than Bragg. A comparison of chlorophyll a fluorescence kinetics with carbon fixation suggested greater sensitivity of dark reactions than light reactions of photosynthesis to O3 stress. The O3-induced uncoupling between photosynthesis and stomatal conductance in PK 472 suggests the reduction in photosynthesis may be attributed to a factor other than reduced stomatal conductance. An increase in internal CO2 concentration in both O3-treated soybean varieties compared suggests that the reduction in photosynthesis was due to damage to the photosynthetic apparatus, leading to accumulation of internal CO2 and stomatal closure. The adverse impact of O3 stress increased at higher O3 concentrations in both soybean varieties leading to large reductions in photosynthesis. This study suggests that O3-induced reductions in photosynthesis in tropical and temperate varieties are similar.  相似文献

Nitric oxide (NO) is involved together with reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the activation of various stress responses in plants. We have used ozone (O3) as a tool to elicit ROS-activated stress responses, and to activate cell death in plant leaves. Here, we have investigated the roles and interactions of ROS and NO in the induction and regulation of O3-induced cell death. Treatment with O3 induced a rapid accumulation of NO, which started from guard cells, spread to adjacent epidermal cells and eventually moved to mesophyll cells. During the later time points, NO production coincided with the formation of hypersensitive response (HR)-like lesions. The NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and O3 individually induced a large set of defence-related genes; however, in a combined treatment SNP attenuated the O3 induction of salicylic acid (SA) biosynthesis and other defence-related genes. Consistent with this, SNP treatment also decreased O3-induced SA accumulation. The O3-sensitive mutant rcd1 was found to be an NO overproducer; in contrast, Atnoa1/rif1 ( Arabidopsis nitric oxide associated 1/resistant to inhibition by FSM1 ), a mutant with decreased production of NO, was also O3 sensitive. This, together with experiments combining O3 and the NO donor SNP suggested that NO can modify signalling, hormone biosynthesis and gene expression in plants during O3 exposure, and that a functional NO production is needed for a proper O3 response. In summary, NO is an important signalling molecule in the response to O3.  相似文献

Pollutants like O3 and NO2 enter leaves through the stomata and cause damage during reactions with components of biological cell membranes. The steady-state flux rates of these gases into the leaf are determined by a series of physical and biochemical resistances including stomatal aperture, reactions occurring within the cell wall and the ability of the leaf to remove the products of apoplastic reactions. In the present study, multiple regression models incorporating stomatal conductance, apoplastic and symplastic ascorbate concentrations, and nitrate reductase (NR) activities were generated to explain the observed variations in leaf-level flux rates of O3 and NO2. These measurements were made on the plant Catharanthus roseus (Madagascar periwinkle). The best-fit model explaining NO2 flux included stomatal conductance, apoplastic ascorbate and NR activity. This model explained 89% of the variation in observed leaf fluxes and suggested physical resistances, reaction between NO2 and apoplastic ascorbate, and the removal rate of nitrate (generated by reactions of NO2 and water) from the apoplast all play controlling roles in NO2 flux to leaves. O3 flux was best explained by stomatal conductance and symplastic ascorbate explaining 66% of the total variation in leaf flux. Both models demonstrate the importance of measuring processes other than stomatal conductance to explain steady-state leaf-level fluxes of pollutant gases.  相似文献

Genetically tractable model plants offer the possibility of defining the plant O3 response at the molecular level. To this end, we have isolated a collection of ozone (O3)-sensitive mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana . Mutant phenotypes and genetics were characterized. Additionally, parameters associated with O3 sensitivity were analysed, including stomatal conductance, sensitivity to and accumulation of reactive oxygen species, antioxidants, stress gene-expression and the accumulation of stress hormones. Each mutant has a unique phenotypic profile, with O3 sensitivity caused by a unique set of alterations in these systems. O3 sensitivity in these mutants is not caused by gross deficiencies in the antioxidant pathways tested here. The rcd3 mutant exhibits misregulated stomata. All mutants exhibited changes in stress hormones consistent with the known hormonal roles in defence and cell death regulation. One mutant, dubbed re-8 , is an allele of the classic leaf development mutant reticulata and exhibits phenotypes dependent on light conditions. This study shows that O3 sensitivity can be determined by deficiencies in multiple interacting plant systems and provides genetic evidence linking these systems.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate how physiological processes of potted Pinus halepensis plants, grown under controlled conditions, were affected by ozone (O3) and/or water stress, integrating the gas exchange and biochemical data with fluorescence OJIP polyphasic transient data. Plants submitted to only water stress (T1) and with ozone (T3) showed a strong decrease in stomatal conductance and gas exchange, coinciding with a reduction of maximum yield of photochemistry ( φ po) and very negative values of leaf water potential. Simultaneously, a great increase of both PSII antenna size, indicated by absorption per reaction centre, and electron transport per reaction centre were found. The reduction of photosynthesis in the O3-treated plants (T2) by a slowing down of the Calvin cycle was supported by the increase of related fluorescence parameters such as relative variable fluorescence, heat de-excitation constant, energy de-excitation by spillover, and the decrease of φ po. We suggest an antagonistic effect between the two stresses to explain the delayed ozone-induced decrease of stomatal conductance values for T3 with respect to T1 plants, by an alteration of the physiological mechanisms of stomatal opening, which involve the increase of intra-cellular free-calcium induced by ABA under co-occurring water shortage. We emphasise the importance of considering the intensity of the individual stress factor in studies concerning the interaction of stresses.  相似文献

A , carbon assimilation rate
ABA, abscisic acid
Ci , intercellular space CO2 concentration
g , leaf conductance
WUE, water use efficiency

Carbon dioxide and abscisic acid (ABA) are two major signals triggering stomatal closure. Their putative interaction in stomatal regulation was investigated in well-watered air-grown or double CO2-grown Arabidopsis thaliana plants, using gas exchange and epidermal strip experiments. With plants grown in normal air, a doubling of the CO2 concentration resulted in a rapid and transient drop in leaf conductance followed by recovery to the pre-treatment level after about two photoperiods. Despite the fact that plants placed in air or in double CO2 for 2 d exhibited similar levels of leaf conductance, their stomatal responses to an osmotic stress (0·16–0·24 MPa) were different. The decrease in leaf conductance in response to the osmotic stress was strongly enhanced at elevated CO2. Similarly, the drop in leaf conductance triggered by 1 μ M ABA applied at the root level was stronger at double CO2. Identical experiments were performed with plants fully grown at double CO2. Levels of leaf conductance and carbon assimilation rate measured at double CO2 were similar for air-grown and elevated CO2-grown plants. An enhanced response to ABA was still observed at high CO2 in pre-conditioned plants. It is concluded that: (i) in the absence of stress, elevated CO2 slightly affects leaf conductance in A. thaliana ; (ii) there is a strong interaction in stomatal responses to CO2 and ABA which is not modified by growth at elevated CO2.  相似文献

Ozone, leaf age and water stress each affected leaf conductance in soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr. Hodgson], but there were no interactions among these factors. Exposure to increased concentrations of O3 (0.01, 0.05, 0.09. and 0.13 μl l−1) resulted in linear declines in abaxial and adaxial conductances in leaves of all ages. There were no differences in relative response to O3 between the two leaf surfaces. For well-watered plants, water use efficiency also decreased with exposure to increased O3 concentrations (water-stressed plants were not tested). Abaxial conductance increased as leaves aged from 4 to 10 days and then declined with further aging. Adaxial conductance decreased with all increases in leaf age beyond 4 days, and the ratio of abaxial/adaxial conductance increased continuously throughout the leaf lifespan. During water-stress cycles (water withheld for 2–3 days) leaves of water-stressed plants had lower conductances than those from well-watered plants, and there was no difference in relative response between abaxial and adaxial stomata.  相似文献

Highbush blueberry plants ( Vaccinium corymbosum L. cv. Bluecrop) growing in containers were flooded in the laboratory for various durations to determine the effect of flooding on carbon assimilation, photosynthetic response to varying CO2 and O2 concentrations and apparent quantum yield as measured in an open flow gas analysis system. Hydraulic conductivity of the root was also measured using a pressure chamber. Root conductivity was lower and the effect of increasing CO2 levels on carbon assimilation less for flooded than unflooded plants after short-(i-2 days), intermediate-(10–14 days) and long-term (35–40 days) flooding. A reduction in O2 levels surrounding the leaves from 21 to 2% for unflooded plants increased carbon assimilation by 33% and carboxylation efficiency from 0.012 to 0.021 mol CO2 fixed (mol CO2)−1. Carboxylation efficiency of flooded plants, however, was unaffected by a decrease in percentage O2, averaging 0.005 mol CO2 fixed (mol CO2)−1. Apparent quantum yield decreased from 2.2 × 10−1 mol of CO2 fixed (mol light)−1 for unflooded plants to 2.0 × 10−3 and 9.0 × 10−4 for intermediate- and long-term flooding durations, respectively. Shortterm flooding reduced carbon assimilation via a decrease in stomatal conductance, while longer flooding durations also decreased the carboxylation efficiency of the leaf.  相似文献

Net CO2 exchange rates (CERs) were measured in seedlings of two loblotly pine ( Pinus taeda L.) families following 6- or 13-week exposures to ozone (charcoalfiltered or ambient air + O3) and acid rain treatments (pH 3.3, 4.5 and 5.2). Ozone exposures (14 or 170 nl l−1) were made in open-top chambers, and in continously stirred tank reactors (14, 160 or 320 nl l−1) located in the field and laboratory, respectively. The CERs of whole shoots were measured in an open infrared gas analysis system at 6 levels of photosynthetic photon flux density (0, 33, 60, 410, 800 and 1660 μmol m−2 s−1). Treatment effects were not consistent between field- and laboratory-exposed seedlings. Ozone-treated field seedlings exhibited statistically significant reductions in light-saturated CER of 12.5 and 25% when measured at 6 and 13 weeks, respectively. Laboratory seedlings exhibited mixed responses to O3, with one family showing reduced CER only after 6 weeks of O3 exposure and the other only after 13 weeks (O3 >160 nl l−1 for both). After 13 weeks of exposure, pH 3.3, and 4.5 rain treatments enhanced light-saturated CER by an average of 52% over that observed in seedlings exposed to the pH 5.2 treatment. Enhanced CERs due to acid rain were of the same magnitude (3–5 μmol CO2g−1 s−1) as ozone-induced CER reductions. No differences in dark respiration were detected between treatments. Although ozone and acid rain treatments altered seedling CER, the differences were not translated into altered final plant dry weights over the 13-week exposure period.  相似文献

The oxygen requirement for stomatal opening in maize plants ( Zea mays L. hybrid INRA 508) was studied at different CO2 concentrations and light intensities. In the absence of CO2, stomatal opening always required O2, but this requirement decreased with increasing light intensity. In darkness, the lowest O2 partial pressure needed to obtain a weak stomatal movement was about 50 Pa. This value was lowered to ca 10 Pa in light (320 μmol m−2 s−1).
On the other hand. in the absence of O2, CO2enabled stomatal opening to occur in the light, presumably due to the evolved photosynthetic O2. Thus, CO2, which generally reduced stomatal aperture, could induce stomatal movement in anoxia and light. The effect of CO2 on stomatal opening was closely dependent on O2 concentration and light intensity. Stomatal aperture appeared CO2-independent at an O2 partial pressure which was dependent on light intensity and was about 25 Pa at 320 umol m−2 s−1.
The presence of a plasmalemma oxidase, in addition to mitochondrial oxidase, might explain the differences in the O2 requirement at various light intensities. The possible involvement of such a system in relation to the effect of CO2 is discussed.  相似文献

Abstract Two denitrifying bacteria ( Pseudomonas chlororaphis and P. aureofaciens ) and a plant (barley, Hordeum vulgare ) were used to study the effect of O2 concentration on denitrification and NO3 uptake by roots under well-defined aeration conditions. Bacterial cells in the early stationary phase were kept in a chemostat vessel with vigorous stirring and thus a uniform O2 concentration in the solution. Both Pseudomonads lacked N2O reductase and so total denitrification could be directly measured as N2O production.
Denitrification decreased to 6–13% of the anaerobic rate at 0.01% O2 saturation (0.14 μM O2) and was totally inhibited at 0.04% O2 saturation (0.56 μM O2). In this well-mixed system denitrification was 10-times more oxygen sensitive than stated in earlier reports. Uptake of nitrate by plants was measured in the same system under light. The NO3 uptake rate decreased gradually from a maximum in 21% O2-saturated medium (air saturated) to zero at 1.6% O2 saturation (22.4 μM O2). Owing to the very different non-overlapping oxygen requirements of the two processes, direct competition for nitrate between plant roots and denitrifying bacteria cannot occur.  相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are implicated in seed death following dehydration in desiccation-intolerant 'recalcitrant' seeds. However, it is unknown if and how ROS are produced in the apoplast and if they play a role in stress signalling during desiccation. We studied intracellular damage and extracellular superoxide (O2·−) production upon desiccation in Castanea sativa seeds, mechanisms of O2·− production and the effect of exogenously supplied ROS. A transient increase in extracellular O2·− production by the embryonic axes preceded significant desiccation-induced viability loss. Thereafter, progressively more oxidizing intracellular conditions, as indicated by a significant shift in glutathione half-cell reduction potential, accompanied cell and axis death, coinciding with the disruption of nuclear membranes. Most hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-dependent O2·− production was found in a cell wall fraction that contained extracellular peroxidases (ECPOX) with molecular masses of ∼50 kDa. Cinnamic acid was identified as a potential reductant required for ECPOX-mediated O2·− production. H2O2, applied exogenously to mimic the transient ROS burst at the onset of desiccation, counteracted viability loss of sub-lethally desiccation-stressed seeds and of excised embryonic axes grown in tissue culture. Hence, extracellular ROS produced by embryonic axes appear to be important signalling components involved in wound response, regeneration and growth.  相似文献

The photosynthetic response was studied in two clones ( Populus deltoides × maximowiczii Eridano and Populus × euramericana I‐214), known for their differential response to ozone (O3) in terms of visible symptoms, when exposed to O3 (60 nl l−1 5 h day−1, 7 and 15 days). The photosynthetic ability was tested using gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence analysis. O3 caused a decrease in the CO2 assimilation rate at light saturation level in mature leaves of both clones. Alterations of Chl fluorescence parameters, in particular the Fv/Fm ratio and non‐photochemical quenching were also observed. The effects were similar for both clones and it could not be concluded that differential effects on electron transport capacity were responsible for the observed reduction in photosynthesis. The reduction of photosynthetic rate in Eridano was due mainly to a reduced mesophyll activity, as evidenced by the increase in intercellular CO2 concentration and the minimal changes in stomatal conductance. In contrast, in I‐214, stomatal effects were primarily responsible, although effects on the mesophyll cannot be excluded. Data obtained indicate that the effects observed at the mesophyll level may be attributed to indirect effects caused by membrane disorders.  相似文献

Electric arc welding was suspected to have damaged about 25000 potted Spathiphyllum wallisii plants in a commercial greenhouse. Therefore, the effects of UV-C radiation, phytotoxic gases and smoke particles on some basic physiological processes and on growth of Spathiphyllum plants were investigated in a controlled environment. The phytotoxic gases (NO, NO2, O3), separately and in combination, were harmless at exposure concentrations (2 mg m−3) well above incident levels, for several hours. The smoke particles, mainly ZnO, Fe2O3 and MnO, did not disturb the root environment and plant growth, even at 25 g m−2, which is approximately 400 times the calculated dose after the adverse incident. UV-C radiation from electric welding significantly reduced photosynthesis and transpiration shortly after exposure at 1 m (80 μW cm−2 nm−1 at 254 nm), while dark respiration was significantly increased. Effects at 3 m were less pronounced. The effect persisted for 2–4 days, after which recovery was complete. Further experiments with continuous measurement of gas exchange in whole plants confirmed that short-term UV-C radiation (Philips 30W germicidal tubes) dramatically affects photosynthesis, dark respiration and transpiration. Plants irradiated with more than 10 μW cm−2 nm−1 at 254 nm did not recover completely within the week of the experiments. The immediate effects of UV-C on photosynthesis is caused by stomatal closure. However, most effects are transient, and electric are welding does not appear to have caused the investigated damage.  相似文献

The presence of oxygen in rumen liquor and its effects on methanogenesis   总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3  
In situ measurement of O2 in the rumen liquor of cows, sheep and goats using a membrane-covered O2 electrode revealed the presence of up to 1630 nmol/l O2; O2 became undetectable immediately after feeding of animals. The effects of O2 on H2 production and methanogenesis in samples of rumen liquor were investigated using a mass spectrometer fitted with a membrane inlet system. Methanogenesis was totally and irreversibly inhibited after short term exposure (about 10 min) to 5 KPa (0·05 atm) O2; H2 production was unaffected. Glucose additions produced rapid transient increases in H2 levels and increased O2 uptake.  相似文献

Volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L. var. Bel W3) plants exposed to ozone (O3) were investigated using proton-transfer-reaction mass-spectrometry (PTR-MS) and gas chromatography mass-spectrometry (GC-MS) to find a quantitative reference for plants' responses to O3 stress. O3 exposures to illuminated plants induced post-exposure VOC emission bursts. The lag time for the onset of volatile C6 emissions produced within the octadecanoid pathway was found to be inversely proportional to O3 uptake, or more precisely, to the O3 flux density into the plants. In cases of short O3 pulses of identical duration the total amount of these emitted C6 VOC was related to the O3 flux density into the plants, and not to ozone concentrations or dose–response relationships such as AOT 40 values. Approximately one C6 product was emitted per five O3 molecules taken up by the plant. A threshold flux density of O3 inducing emissions of C6 products was found to be (1.6 ± 0.7) × 10−8 mol m−2 s−1.  相似文献

Abstract. The apparatus described here is a fully portable, steady-state gas exchange system for simultaneous measurements of the CO2 exchange and transpiration of single, attached leaves. The leaf cuvette provides temperature, humidity, and CO2-concentration control. The system is suitable for either surveys or detailed studies of photosynthetic and stomatal responses to environmental variables. Representative data demonstrate the response time characteristics of the system and constitute the first field evidence of stomatal behaviour consistent with a recent hypothesis concerning the optimum pattern of stomatal conductance for the maximization of water-use-efficiency.  相似文献

An experiment was carried out in open-top chambers located in eastern Spain. One-yr-old Pinus halepensis Mill. seedlings were exposed during three consecutive summers to the following ozone (O3) treatments: charcoal-filtered air (CFA), non-filtered air (NFA) or non-filtered air plus 40 nl l−1 O3, 9 h d−1, 5 d wk−1 (NFA+40). Seasonal variations in Aleppo pine performance were observed since reductions in chlorophyll and cellular peroxidase levels associated with increases in superoxide dismutase activity, were recorded during the summer. Similarly, a reduction in epoxidation state was found at midday during the summer, derived from an activation of the xanthophyll cycle associated to an increment in radiation and temperature levels.
The first O3-induced effects were recorded in previous-year needles (1991) during the first summer exposure as an increase in extracellular and total peroxidase activities and in zeaxanthin levels in the NFA+40 treatment along with a trend to a higher SOD activity in this treatment. A carry-over effect was detected since a lower winter recovery of chlorophyll levels was found in the NFA+40 seedlings along with a reduction of xanthophyll levels. A reduction in chlorophyll levels was observed in the previous-year needles (1992) from the NFA+40 treatment at the end of the second fumigation period. Realistic ozone exposures induced alterations in plant antioxidative systems and plant pigments as shown in this paper. These observations together with the reductions in stomatal conductance and net photosynthesis recorded in the same experiment, indicate that Aleppo pine is a species sensitive to ozone.  相似文献

Seedlings of three species native to central North America, a C3 tree, Populus tremuloides Michx., a C3 grass, Agropyron smithii Rybd., and a C4 grass, Bouteloua curtipendula Michx., were grown in all eight combinations of two levels each of CO2, O3 and nitrogen (N) for 58 days in a controlled environment. Treatment levels consisted of 360 or 674 μmol mol-1 CO2, 3 or 92 nmol mol-1 O3, and 0.5 or 6.0 m M N. In situ photosynthesis and relative growth rate (RGR) and its determinants were obtained at each of three sequential harvests, and leaf dark respiration was measured at the second and third harvests. In all three species, plants grown in high N had significantly greater whole-plant mass, RGR and photosynthesis than plants grown in low N. Within a N treatment, elevated CO2 did not significantly enhance any of these parameters nor did it affect leaf respiration. However, plants of all three species grown in elevated CO2 had lower stomatal conductance compared to ambient CO2-exposed plants. Seedlings of P. tremuloides (in both N treatments) and B. curtipendula (in high N) had significant ozone-induced reductions in whole-plant mass and RGR in ambient but not under elevated CO2. This negative O3 impact on RGR in ambient CO2 was related to increased leaf dark respiration, decreased photosynthesis and/or decreased leaf area ratio, none of which were noted in high O3 treatments in the elevated CO2 environment. In contrast, A. smithii was marginally negatively affected by high O3.  相似文献
