FACE条件下大气O3浓度增高对小麦花后剑叶显微结构的影响

2008-2009年,应用FACE研究平台,采用烟农19、扬麦16、嘉兴002和扬辐麦2号4个小麦品种,以O₃自然浓度为对照,研究了大气O₃浓度增高50%对不同基因型小麦剑叶显微结构、叶绿素含量和粒重的影响.结果表明： 在开花期,大气O₃浓度增高对小麦产生轻微伤害,剑叶的叶肉细胞和叶绿体结构开始遭到破坏,基粒片层断裂并且开始松散;花后21 d,与对照的叶片微结构差异显著增大,剑叶内膜系统基本解体,叶绿体基本解散,基粒片层消失,加速了剑叶的衰老进程,剑叶的叶绿素含量、净光合速率和成熟期粒重均低于对照.小麦剑叶微结构和光合功能对大气O₃浓度增高的响应存在明显的基因型差异,嘉兴002对O₃胁迫的耐受性较好,而扬辐麦2号对O₃胁迫的反应较敏感.     

FACE条件下大气O3浓度增高对小麦剑叶光合色素含量的影响

应用FACE研究平台,采用烟农19、扬麦16、嘉兴002、扬麦15和扬辐麦2号等5个小麦品种,以O3自然浓度为对照,研究了大气O3浓度增高50％对不同小麦品种剑叶光合色素含量的影响.结果表明:开放式大气O3浓度增高条件下,小麦剑叶叶绿素a(Chl a)、叶绿素b(Chl b)、叶绿素总量Chl(a+b)和类胡萝卜素含量在孕穗期和开花期与对照差异不显著,而花后各时期均不同程度的降低,其中,Chl a、Chl b和Chl(a+b)含量下降达显著水平,说明大气O3浓度增高对叶绿素合成影响较小,但加速了其衰降过程.不同品种小麦剑叶光合色素含量对大气O3浓度增高的反应存在基因型差异,扬麦15和嘉兴002对大气O3浓度增高的敏感性弱于扬麦16、扬辐麦2号和烟农19.在籽粒灌浆盛期(花后21 d左右),剑叶Chl a、Chl b和Chl(a+b)含量与千粒重呈显著正相关.

弱光胁迫对花生功能叶片RuBP羧化酶活性及叶绿体超微结构的影响

间作套种是我国主要的花生(Arachis hypogaea)种植方式之一。然而, 与单作相比, 在间作套种体系中, 花生截获的光能较少, 生长发育差, 产量低, 研究不同品种耐阴机理对选择适宜间作套种的花生品种具有重要意义。该研究用耐阴性不同的两个花生品种‘花育22号’ (强耐阴性)和‘白沙1016’ (弱耐阴性)为材料, 在大田条件下采用不同透光率遮阴网设置50%自然光强(中度弱光胁迫)和15%自然光强(严重弱光胁迫) 2个弱光处理, 从出苗期开始遮阴40天, 以自然光强为对照, 研究了弱光胁迫对花生功能叶片RuBP羧化酶活性和叶绿体超微结构的影响。结果表明: 光强为自然光照50%和15%的处理, ‘花育22号’ RuBP羧化酶活性与对照相比虽有降低, 但差异不显著, 而‘白沙1016’分别比对照低40.1%和59.4%, 显著低于对照。与对照相比, 50%自然光强下‘花育22号’叶绿体数不变, 叶绿体基粒数和基粒片层数显著增多, 叶绿体变长且发育完好, 15%自然光强下, 叶绿体数、基粒数和淀粉粒数显著减少, 叶绿体膜和基粒片层出现破损, 但叶绿体变长, 基粒片层数增加; ‘白沙1016’在50%自然光强下, 叶绿体数目和超微结构变化同‘花育22号’相似, 在15%自然光强下叶绿体变圆, 基粒数的降幅和基粒片层破损程度大于‘花育22号’且基粒片层数减少, 淀粉粒数增多。因此, 弱光胁迫特别是严重弱光胁迫条件下, 功能叶RuBP羧化酶活性降低幅度小、叶绿体超微结构受损程度低是‘花育22号’耐阴的光合生理基础。     

小麦黄化突变体叶绿体超微结构研究

利用透射电镜对小麦自然黄化突变体及其突变亲本(西农1718)叶片细胞叶绿体的数目、形态及超微结构进行比较分析。结果发现:(1)3种不同黄化程度突变体的叶绿体分布、数目、形状及大小与突变亲本无明显差异;(2)突变体叶绿素含量为野生型58%的黄绿植株与其突变亲本叶绿体超微结构无明显差异,基质类囊体与基粒类囊体高度分化,基粒数目以及基粒片层数目较多;(3)突变体金黄和绿黄植株的叶绿素含量分别为野生型的17%、24%,其叶绿体超微结构与突变亲本明显不同,突变体的叶绿体发育存在明显缺陷,其中突变体金黄植株的叶绿体内无基粒、基质片层清晰可见,有淀粉粒,嗜锇颗粒较多,而突变体绿黄植株的叶绿体内有基粒,但明显少于突变亲本,且基粒片层较少,基质类囊体较发达。结果表明该黄化突变体叶绿体超微结构的改变,是由于叶绿素含量降低造成,推测,该黄化突变是由于叶绿素合成受阻导致的。     

高温对水稻黄叶突变体剑叶光合特性和叶绿体超微结构的影响

以水稻黄叶突变体为材料,进行高温胁迫处理(9:30～17:30,40℃;其它时间段与自然温度相同),研究高温胁迫对其剑叶光合特性和叶绿体超微结构的影响。结果表明:高温胁迫使水稻黄叶突变体剑叶净光合速率(Pn)、PSⅡ原初光化学效率(Fv/Fm)、PSⅡ光量子效率(фPSⅡ)和非循环光合电子传递速率(ETR)显著降低,初始荧光(F0)显著增加,同时使剑叶叶绿素、可溶性蛋白质含量显著降低,细胞膜透性显著增加,叶片的叶绿体内基粒和基质片层模糊、疏松,结构紊乱。研究发现,40℃高温胁迫致使水稻黄叶突变体剑叶叶绿体超微结构破坏,引起PSⅡ反应中心的光化学效率降低,最终造成叶片光合能力减弱。     

CO2和O3浓度倍增及其交互作用对大豆叶绿体超微结构的影响

应用透射电镜观察了模拟大气CO2和O3浓度倍增及其交互作用(开顶箱法)对大豆叶肉细胞叶绿体超微结构的影响。结果表明,CO2浓度倍增促进了大豆叶绿体的发育,内含淀粉粒积累明显增多、体积增大;叶绿体被膜保持完好;叶绿体基粒片层排列整齐,而O3浓度倍增抑制了叶绿体内淀粉粒的累积,并导致叶绿体被膜破碎,片层解体,严重地破坏了叶绿体的结构和功能CO2和O3浓度倍增的交互作用对叶绿体超微结构有不同程度的破坏,但二者浓度呈梯度增加对叶绿体的损害作用要大于二者浓度持续倍增对叶绿体的影响,进一步表明CO2正效应对O3负效应的补偿作用。     

1,2,4-三氯苯胁迫对不同基因型水稻灌浆期生理特性及产量的影响

在盆栽土培条件下,研究了5种浓度(0、10、20、40、80 mg/kg土)的1,2,4-三氯苯(TCB)对两种基因型水稻品种宁粳1号(敏感基因型)和扬辐粳8号(耐性基因型)产量及灌浆期生理特性的影响。结果表明:TCB对两种基因型水稻产量和灌浆期生理特性的影响具有显著差异,随着TCB浓度的增加,宁粳1号的产量呈现递减趋势,而扬辐粳8号呈低浓度下产量增加高浓度下产量显著降低的趋势,在中高浓度TCB(40、80 mg/kg)处理时,宁粳1号每盆穗数,每穗粒数,结实率显著降低且降幅显著大于扬辐粳8号,两个基因型品种千粒重变化都不明显。宁粳1号株高、干物重受TCB抑制程度较明显,降幅显著大于扬辐粳8号。在低浓度TCB(20 mg/kg)处理时,宁粳1号根系活力、叶绿素含量、可溶性蛋白质含量显著降低,而扬辐粳8号有所提高。随着TCB浓度的增加,两个基因型品种叶片抗氧化酶SOD、POD、CAT活性均呈先升后降趋势,且在低浓度TCB(10 mg/kg、20mg/kg)处理时,扬辐粳8号抗氧化酶活性极显著高于宁粳1号,在高浓度TCB(80 mg/kg)TCB浓度胁迫下,宁粳1号抗氧化酶活性极显著低于对照,且降幅极显著大于扬辐粳8号,且MDA含量增幅较大,膜质过氧化程度高。总体而言,低浓度TCB对扬辐粳8号的产量和灌浆期株高、干物重、叶绿素含量、叶片蛋白质含量和抗氧化酶活性具有一定的促进作用,中高浓度TCB对宁粳1号的抑制作用显著大于扬辐粳8号,扬辐粳8号在不同浓度的TCB处理下较宁粳1号表现出较强的耐迫性和适应性。     

花粒期光照对夏玉米光合特性和叶绿体超微结构的影响

在大田条件下,以夏玉米品种‘登海605’为试验材料,研究花粒期不同光照强度(正常光照、开花至收获期遮阴和开花至收获期增光)对夏玉米叶片光合、荧光性能和叶绿体超微结构的影响.结果表明:与对照相比,花粒期遮阴影响叶绿体排布及内部结构发育,基粒个数和基粒片层数均有不同程度减少,叶片的净光合速率、蒸腾速率、气孔导度、叶绿素含量下降,PSⅡ反应中心的实际光化学效率和最大光化学效率降低,非光化学淬灭系数数值增加,导致产量降低;增光后叶绿体结构良好,基粒片层排列紧致、清晰且数量增加,PSⅡ反应中心的实际光化学效率增加,净光合速率、蒸腾速率、气孔导度、叶绿素含量上升,叶片光合性能增强,产量增加.即花粒期遮阴破坏了夏玉米叶片叶绿体超微结构,降低了叶片光合能力,产量下降;花粒期增光增加了叶肉细胞中叶绿体的基粒和基粒片层,导致基粒片层排列紧密有序,有利于增加作物产量潜力.     

水稻叶绿体基粒缺乏突变体的叶绿素蛋白质复合体分析

我们曾报道一个细胞核隐性基因控制的黄绿色水稻突变体。其叶片的叶绿素含量仅为正常品种叶片的1/3,Chla:Chlb比值很高;叶绿体缺乏基粒,即基粒数和每一基粒的片层数均很少;但以叶绿素量为基数的光合活性较高。为了认识色素含量、基粒结构和光合功能之间相互关系,对正常品种和突变体叶绿体膜的叶绿素蛋白质复合体作了比较分析。结果表明,突变体缺乏24KD的捕光叶绿素a/b蛋白质复合体,但富有28KD的叶绿素a蛋白质复合体CPa。从试验结果推论,叶绿体片层的垛叠和捕光叶绿素a/b蛋白质复合体的含量有正的相关,非垛叠片层则富有叶绿素a蛋白质复合体CPa;     

Survival and recovery of perennial forage grasses under prolonged Mediterranean drought: II. Water status, solute accumulation, abscisic acid concentration and accumulation of dehydrin transcripts in bases of immature leaves

Effects of ozone on spring wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. cv. Satu) were studied in an open-top chamber experiment during two growing seasons (1992–1993) at Jokioinen in south-west Finland. The wheat was exposed to filtered air (CF), non-filtered air (NF), non-filtered air+35 nl l⁻¹ ozone for 8 h d⁻¹ (NF⁺) and ambient air (AA). Each treatment was replicated five times. Two wk after anthesis, after 4 wk of ozone treatment (NF⁺, 45 nl l⁻¹ 1000–1800 hours, seasonal mean) the net CO₂ uptake of wheat flag leaves was decreased by c . 40% relative to CF and NF treatments, both initial and total activity of Rubisco and the quantity of protein-bound SH groups were decreased significantly. Added ozone also significantly accelerated flag leaf senescence recorded as a decrease in chloroplast size. The effect was significant 2 wk after anthesis, and senescence was complete after 4 wk. In the CF and NF treatments senescence was complete 5 wk after anthesis. The significant effect of ozone on the chloroplasts and net CO₂ uptake 2 wk after anthesis did not affect the grain filling rate. However, since the grain filling period was shorter for ozone fumigated plants, kernels were smaller. The decrease in 1000-grain weight explained most of the yield reduction in the plants under NF⁺ treatment. The results indicate that wheat plants are well buffered against substantial decrease in source activity, and that shortened flag leaf duration is the major factor causing ozone-induced yield loss.     

开放式O3浓度增高对小麦籽粒蛋白的影响

于2006—2009年应用FACE研究平台,设计O₃浓度增高50%(E)和自然浓度(CK)两个处理,采用烟农19、扬麦16、扬麦15和扬辐麦2号4个品种,研究了O₃浓度增高对不同类型小麦品种籽粒蛋白质组分及其动态的影响.结果表明：随着O3浓度增高,籽粒蛋白质含量上升,3个年度上升幅度分别为7.55%～16.37%（2006—2007年度）、4.93%～22.63%（2007—2008年度）和2.29%～17.65%（2008—2009年度）,处理间、品种和年度间差异显著;但籽粒蛋白质产量显著或极显著下降,3个年度降幅分别为1.83%～11.64%（2006—2007年度）, -0.41%～24.22%（2007—2008年度）和-1.90%～15.81%（2008—2009年度）.籽粒蛋白质4种组分（清蛋白、球蛋白、醇溶蛋白和谷蛋白）含量均表现为O₃浓度增高处理高于自然浓度处理,品种间和年度间差异显著,且处理间醇溶蛋白和球蛋白含量差异显著,而清蛋白和谷蛋白含量差异不显著.     

Effects of elevated carbon dioxide and ozone on the growth and yield of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Spring wheat cv. Minaret was grown under three carbon dioxide(CO₂) and two ozone (O₃) concentrations from seedling emergenceto maturity in open-top chambers. Under elevated CO₂ concentrations,the green leaf area index of the main shoot was increased, largelydue to an increase in green leaf area duration. Biomass increasedlinearly in response to increasing CO₂ (ambient, 550 and 680ppm). At anthesis, stem and ear dry weights and plant heightwere increased by up to 174%, 5% and 9 cm, respectively, andbiomass at maturity was 23% greater in the 680 ppm treatmentas compared to the ambient control. Grain numbers per spikeletand per ear were increased by 0.2 and 5 grains, respectively,and this, coupled with a higher number of ears bearing tillers,increased grain yield by up to 33%. Exposure to a 7 h daily mean O₃ concentration of 60 ppb inducedpremature leaf senescence during early vegetative growth (leaves1–7) under ambient CO₂ concentrations. Damage to the mainshoot and possible seedling mortality during the first 3 weeksof exposure altered canopy structure and increased the proportionof tillers 1 and 2 which survived to produce ears at maturitywas increased; as a result, grain yield was not significantlyaffected. In contrast to the older leaves, the flag leaf (leaf8) sustained no visible O₃ damage, and mean grain yield perear was not affected. Interactions between elevated CO₂ andO₃ influenced the severity of visible leaf damage (leaves 1–7),with elevated CO₂ apparently protecting against O₃-induced prematuresenescence during early vegetative growth. The data suggestthat the flag leaf of Minaret, a major source of assimilateduring grain fill, may be relatively insensitive to O₃ exposure.Possible mechanisms involved in damage and/or recovery are discussed. Key words: Carbon dioxide, ozone, spring wheat (cv. Minaret), leaf damage, tiller, yield     

Differential responses in two varieties of winter wheat to elevated ozone concentration under fully open‐air field conditions

Two modern cultivars [Yangmai16 (Y16) and Yangfumai 2 (Y2)] of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) with almost identical phenology were investigated to determine the impacts of elevated ozone concentration (E‐O₃) on physiological characters related to photosynthesis under fully open‐air field conditions in China. The plants were exposed from the initiation of tillering to final harvest, with E‐O₃ of 127% of the ambient ozone concentration (A‐O₃). Measurements of pigments, gas exchange rates, chlorophyll a fluorescence and lipid oxidation were made in three replicated plots throughout flag leaf development. In cultivar Y2, E‐O₃ significantly accelerated leaf senescence, as indicated by increased lipid oxidation as well as faster declines in pigment amounts and photosynthetic rates. The lower photosynthetic rates were mainly due to nonstomatal factors, e.g. lower maximum carboxylation capacity, electron transport rates and light energy distribution. In cultivar Y16, by contrast, the effects of E‐O₃ were observed only at the very last stage of flag leaf ageing. Since the two cultivars had almost identical phenology and very similar leaf stomatal conductance before senescence, the greater impacts of E‐O₃ on cultivars Y2 than Y16 cannot be explained by differential ozone uptake. Our findings will be useful for scientists to select O₃‐tolerant wheat cultivars against the rising surface [O₃] in East and South Asia.     

Copy Number Variation of Cytokinin Oxidase Gene Tackx4 Associated with Grain Weight and Chlorophyll Content of Flag Leaf in Common Wheat

As the main pigment in photosynthesis, chlorophyll significantly affects grain filling and grain weight of crop. Cytokinin (CTK) can effectively increase chlorophyll content and chloroplast stability, but it is irreversibly inactivated by cytokinin oxidase (CKX). In this study, therefore, twenty-four pairs of primers were designed to identify variations of wheat CKX (Tackx) genes associated with flag leaf chlorophyll content after anthesis, as well as grain weight in 169 recombinant inbred lines (RIL) derived from Triticum aestivum Jing 411 × Hongmangchun 21. Results indicated variation of Tackx4, identified by primer pair T19-20, was proven to significantly associate with chlorophyll content and grain weight in the RIL population. Here, two Tackx4 patterns were identified: one with two co-segregated fragments (Tackx4-1/Tackx4-2) containing 618 bp and 620 bp in size (as in Jing 411), and another with no PCR product. The two genotypes were designated as genotype-A and genotype-B, respectively. Grain weight and leaf chlorophyll content at 5~15 days after anthesis (DAA) were significantly higher in genotype-A lines than those in genotype-B lines. Mapping analysis indicated Tackx4 was closely linked to Xwmc169 on chromosome 3AL, as well as co-segregated with a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) for both grain weight and chlorophyll content of flag leaf at 5~15 DAA. This QTL explained 8.9~22.3% phenotypic variations of the two traits across four cropping seasons. Among 102 wheat varieties, a third genotype of Tackx4 was found and designated as genotype-C, also having two co-segregated fragments, Tackx4-2 and Tackx4-3 (615bp). The sequences of three fragments, Tackx4-1, Tackx4-2, and Tackx4-3, showed high identity (>98%). Therefore, these fragments could be considered as different copies at Tackx4 locus on chromosome 3AL. The effect of copy number variation (CNV) of Tackx4 was further validated. In general, genotype-A contains both significantly higher grain weight and flag leaf chlorophyll content at 5~15 DAA than those in genotype-B and genotype-C, among 102 varieties under various environments.     

Contribution of the wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) flag leaf to grain yield in response to plant growth regulators

In West-Europe, intensive cereal management uses plant growth regulators (PGRs) especially for wheat. A green-house experiment compared the effects of two PGRs on flag leaf characteristics and yield of winter wheat. Chlormequat chloride + choline chloride (CCC) and chlormequat chloride + choline chloride + imazaquin (CCC+I) were applied to winter wheat at growth stage 5 (Feekes Large scale). CCC and CCC+I significantly increased flag leaf surface area at anthesis. Both treatments also enhanced chlorophyll content of the main stem flag leaf. The grain filling period was extended with PGR application by 2 days. CCC and CCC+I significantly increased net CO₂ assimilation rates during the flag leaf life. No effects of PGR spraying were observed on the pattern of ¹⁴C labelled assimilate distribution. Increased grain yield was due to the increase in average grain weight. The results indicate that PGR treatments increased flag leaf contribution to grain filling. The addition of imazaquin (I) to chlormequat (CCC) improved the effects of CCC.
