棉铃虫持续取食对棉花三种防御酶活性的作用

昆虫取食作为一种关键的生物胁迫因子对棉花防御机制产生了重要影响。植物对昆虫取食产生的防御响应,在昆虫与植物的生态关系中具有重要作用。为了明确棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera取食与棉花防御性之间的动态互作关系,本文研究了棉铃虫持续取食下及停止取食后,棉花中3种防御相关酶活性变化的时间效应。在明确了棉花受损程度与棉铃虫取食时间关系的基础上,分别考察了棉铃虫持续取食2、6、12、18和24h,对棉花中苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)、脂氧合酶(LOX)和多酚氧化酶(PPO)活性的影响。针对棉铃虫持续取食棉叶12h后停止取食,研究了去除虫害胁迫后0、6、12、24和36h,棉花体内PAL、LOX、PPO活性的变化。结果表明:在棉铃虫持续取食棉叶24h内,棉花中3种防御酶的活性响应有所不同,其中,棉铃虫持续取食2和6h对棉花体内PAL活性没有产生显著影响,而持续取食12h显著诱导了PAL活性,持续取食24和36h,均极显著诱导了PAL活性;棉铃虫持续取食2、6、12、和18h均显著诱导了棉花体内LOX活性,持续取食24h极显著诱导了LOX活性;棉铃虫持续取食6h极显著诱导了棉花体内PPO活性,持续取食24h显著诱导了PPO活性。棉铃虫取食12h后停止取食,在去除虫害除胁迫后0、6、12、24和36h,棉花体内PAL活性均显著升高;而LOX活性则呈现出先升高后恢复正常的现象;PPO活性开始无变化,但在胁迫去除后12和24h显著增高,到36h恢复正常。可见,棉花体内PAL、LOX和PPO活性对棉铃虫取食产生的防御响应,与其受虫害持续取食胁迫时间的增长呈正相关,随着取食时间和受危害的程度加大而升高。并且,在虫害胁迫去除后的一定时间内,棉花体内PAL、LOX和PPO活性依然会保持较高的活性状态,而同等程度机械损伤后的棉叶内PAL、LOX、PPO活性均没有发生显著性变化。说明棉花对于棉铃虫取食胁迫的防御与棉花生理生化性质的改变有关,且具有持续性。     

不同抗性猕猴桃品种感染溃疡病前后几种保护酶活性变化

研究了不同猕猴桃品种展叶孕蕾期自然感染溃疡病菌前后一年生枝条、叶片内过氧化物酶(POD)、多酚氧化酶(PPO)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)酶活性的变化情况.结果表明:感染溃疡病菌前后,抗病品种和感病品种枝条及成叶中防御酶系活性变化规律存在一定的差异.品种未受溃疡病菌感染时,一年生枝条、叶片中的POD、PPO、SOD、CAT酶活性抗病品种的酶活性均低于感病品种.品种自然感染溃疡病菌后,一年生枝条、叶片POD、PPO、SOD、CAT、PAL酶活性均升高,且酶活性的增加幅度是抗病品种中酶活提高倍数高于感病品种.而且这种增量在不同保护酶类以及不同组织部位是有差异的.     

南美斑潜蝇对不同黄瓜品种的寄主选择性

采用自由选择法测定了南美斑潜蝇Liriomyza huidobrensis对黄瓜不同品种的寄主选择性。结果表明,南美斑潜蝇成虫产卵和取食选择性最强的黄瓜品种为冬棚王,其对冬棚王的选择性与对光和地黄瓜、新四号黄瓜、津优2号、双杂一号、津杂2号、冬雪王、早春王、神农春四号、津春4号等品种的选择性存在显著差异,而与山东密刺、津优1号、春四号黄瓜、津杂4号、鲁优二号、津优4号、唐山秋瓜、神农春五号、津绿4号等品种差异不显著。测定结果表明,黄瓜不同品种间的叶毛数、可溶性蛋白质及可溶性糖含量存在显著差异。相关分析表明,南美斑潜蝇对不同黄瓜品种的寄主选择性与其叶毛数存在显著的负相关,相关系数r=-0.475 5(P=0.039 5<0.05),而与叶片的可溶性蛋白质及可溶性糖含量关系不显著。     

硝酸银对雌性黄瓜植株三种氧化酶同工酶的影响

雌性黄瓜植株经硝酸银处理后其茎尖和真叶过氧化物酶活性极显著地增加,茎尖２４小时、真叶３６小时酶活性达到最大值,分别增加１７８．２％和２８４．６％,随后酶活性逐渐下降,但酶活性仍然较对照植株高。多酚氧化酶和超氧化物歧化酶的同工酶活性也增加。同时硝酸银能诱发黄瓜植株过氧化物酶、多酚氧化酶和超氧化物歧化酶产生新的同工酶。用等电聚焦更能有效地观察新产生的同工酶。

香蕉芒果果皮中酶活性与炭疽病菌潜伏侵染的关系

在树上正生长发育的香蕉果实,随着果实长大,果皮中过氧化物酶(POD)和多酚氧化酶(PPO)活性不断升高。采后的香蕉和芒果果实的果皮中,POD和PPO活性变化与呼吸代谢相关。苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)主要分布在果皮中,并随着果实成熟度的提高,其活性呈极显著下降趋势。感病果实的果皮中三种酶活性均比健康果皮高。说明果皮中三种酶活性的变化与炭疽菌的潜伏侵染有关。

Effect of drought on biomass, protein content, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzymes in two sesame cultivars

The effects of drought on growth, protein content, lipid peroxidation, superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POX), catalase (CAT) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) were studied in leaves and roots of Sesamum indicum L. cvs. Darab 14 and Yekta. Four weeks after sowing, plants were grown under soil moisture corresponding to 100, 75, 50 and 25 % field capacity for next four weeks. Fresh and dry masses, and total protein content in leaves and roots decreased obviously under drought. However, several new proteins appeared and content of some proteins was affected. Measurement of malondialdehyde content in leaves and roots showed that lipid peroxidation was lower in Yekta than in Darab 14. Severe stress increased SOD, POX, CAT and PPO activities in leaves and roots, especially in Yekta. According to the present study Yekta is more resistant to drought than Darab 14.     

Expression of phenolics and defence-related enzymes in relation to red root rot disease of tea plants

Red root rot caused by Poria hypolateritia is a dreadful disease in tea plant due to sudden death of bushes. In response to fungal pathogen, variation in the defence-related enzymes was investigated. The infected tea root was undertaken to study about various defence-related and pathogen-related enzymes. The infected root, as a prime response to disease attack, was subjected to the analysis of phenolics, phenylalanine ammonia lyase, tyrosine ammonia lyase, peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, catalase, chitinase, β-1,3-glucanase and protease were assayed. The results on assay of defence-related enzymes revealed that the activity was significantly higher in infected roots when compared with healthy roots. Phenolics were accumulated more in infected roots. The sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis further confirmed the presence of induced pathogenesis-related proteins in the infected root tissues. The activity of all enzymes was increased up to threefold amount when compared with normal ones. The accumulation of defence enzymes in plants revealed the virulence of root pathogen in stimulating induced systemic resistance of tea plants and phytopathogenicity causing pathogenesis. This study exemplify to recognise underlying processes in causing infection and to identify the existence of host–pathogen relationship.     

Changes in defence-related enzymes in rice responding to challenges by Rhizoctonia solani

Sheath blight disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn is becoming a major constraint to rice production, especially in the intensified cultivation system. To know the in rice, it is important to get the knowledge of the activity of defence-related enzymes due to the fungal infection. The pathogen induced superoxide dismutase (SOD) and chitinase activities in rice plants, while suppressing peroxidase (POD) and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activities at 36 and 24 h after inoculation, respectively. Induction of two POD isozymes, POD-3 and -4, up to 48 h after inoculation and disappearance of the said isomers at 72 h onwards in rice–Rhizoctonia interaction implicated the role of these isomers in susceptible host–pathogen interaction. Apart from POD and SOD, the activities of other stress-related enzymes, viz. PAL, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and β-1,3-glucanase were also studied. From this study, it was found that these defence-related enzymes are most significantly related to host–pathogenic interaction.     

Changes in composition of essential oils and volatile emissions of Minthostachys mollis, induced by leaf punctures of Liriomyza huidobrensis

Plant defensive mechanisms against herbivores include chemical changes following damage. Effects of feeding punctures produced by Liriomyza huidobrensis (pea leafminers) adult females on the plant's dominant monoterpenes, pulegone and menthone were assessed by monitoring essential oil composition at 24, 48, and 120 h; emission of volatiles was also measured 24 and 48 h after wounding. We studied such changes in Minthostachys mollis, a Lamiaceae species native to Central Argentina with medicinal and aromatic uses. Leaf puncturing resulted in reduced menthone throughout the experiment and increased pulegone concentration in M. mollis essential oil during the first 48 h. The adjacent undamaged leaves showed similar changes, suggesting a systemic response. Composition of volatiles released from damaged leaves was also altered, most noticeably by increasing pulegone and diminishing menthone emissions. Such herbivore-induced chemical changes in aromatic plants are economically relevant, since the quality of essential oils and volatile emissions are altered.     

Plant growth regulator interactions results enhancement of antioxidant enzymes in Catharanthus roseus

Abstract

The present investigation was carried out with the objectives to understand the effect of paclobutrazol, gibberellic acid and Pseudomonas fluorescens on the enzymatic antioxidants like Ascorbate peroxidase (APX, EC: 1.11.1.11), Superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC: 1.15.1.1), Catalase (CAT, EC: 1.11.1.6), Peroxidase (POX, EC 1.11.1.7) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO, Ec 1.10.3.1) activities of Catharanthus roseus plants under field conditions. 10 mg l^?1 paclobutrazol, 5 µM gibberellic acid and 1 mg P. fluorescens concentrations were used for the treatments, and control plants were irrigated with well water. The treatments were given 38, 53, 68 and 83 days after planting (DAP) by soil drenching. The plants were taken randomly 45, 60, 75 and 90 DAP and separated into root, stem, leaves and flowers and used for estimating the antioxidant enzymes. The results showed that these plant growth regulators have significant effects on antioxidant enzymes of C. roseus.     

Peroxide metabolism in the cestodes Hymenolepis diminuta and Moniezia expansa

The enzymes of hydrogen peroxide metabolism have been investigated in the cestodes H. diminuta and M. expansa. Neither catalase, lipoxygenase, glutathione peroxidase, NADH peroxidase nor NADPH peroxidase could be detected in homogenates of either species. However, both H. diminuta and M. expansa possessed a peroxidase which had a high affinity for reduced cytochrome c. The peroxidase was characterized by substrate and inhibitor studies and cell fractionation showed the enzyme to be located in the mitochondrial membrane fraction. The peroxidase could act as a substitute for catalase, by destroying metabolic hydrogen peroxide. Appreciable superoxide dismutase activity was found in M. expansa and H. diminuta and it is possible that this enzyme is the source of helminth hydrogen peroxide.
