机械刺激对匍匐茎型植物蛇莓(Duchesnea indica)克隆可塑性的影响（英文）

机械刺激(mechanical stimuli, MS)在自然界的分布较为普遍,然而关于机械刺激对匍匐茎型克隆植物影响的研究相对较少。为此,实验对匍匐茎型克隆植物蛇莓(Duchesneaindica)进行了对照(无机械刺激)、克隆片段顶部刺激、半克隆片段刺激和整克隆片段刺激共四个水平的机械刺激处理,通过研究蛇莓克隆生长的响应,探讨机械刺激对其作用机理。结果表明:与对照相比,机械刺激导致蛇莓产生较多的分株、较多的匍匐茎、短而细的叶柄及较多的根生物量分配。同时,不同作用位点的机械刺激对各生理生长指标的效应差异并不显著。另外,通过对各生长指标表型可塑性指数的分析发现,分株数具有较高的可塑性指数。上述实验结果表明,蛇莓可以较好地适应机械刺激干扰的生境,其分株数可以作为其响应程度的较好的指示指标。

Municipal sludge-induced phytotoxicity

Municipal sludge (MS), containing various types of environmental pollutants, can exert phytotoxic effects in plants. Seed germination, chlorophyll content, plant weight, root and shoot growth, and metal levels, were measured as endpoints to assess the phytotoxic effects of leachates of MS from Lucknow city in three plants, Triticum aestivum, Brassica campestris and Phaseolus aureus. Among the five metals analysed, lead was found to be present at the highest concentration, and chromium at the lowest. Aqueous MS leachates had lower amounts of metals than pure MS. Seed germination was inhibited significantly in all three plants. The greatest inhibition of root and shoot growth was observed in B. campestris and T. aestivum. Total chlorophyll was depleted in all three plants, but the maximum depletion was observed in T.aestivum exposed to 10% leachate. Symptoms such as necrosis, leaf discoloration and root curling were also observed after exposure to 10% leachate, and plant weight was reduced significantly. It is evident that MS from Lucknow city exerted phytotoxic effects on all three test plant species.     

Mass spectrometric exploration of phytohormone profiles and signaling networks

Phytohormones have crucial roles in plant growth, development, and acclimation to environmental stress; however, measuring phytohormone levels and unraveling their complex signaling networks and interactions remains challenging. Mass spectrometry (MS) has revolutionized the study of complex biological systems, enabling the comprehensive identification and quantification of phytohormones and their related targets. Here, we review recent advances in MS technologies and highlight studies that have used MS to discover and analyze phytohormone-mediated molecular events. In particular, we focus on the application of MS for profiling phytohormones, elucidating phosphorylation signaling, and mapping protein interactions in plants.     

Comparative Studies of Phytochemical Screening,HPLC‐PDA‐ESI‐MS/MS‐LC/HR‐ESI‐MS Analysis,Antioxidant Capacity and in Vitro Fermentation of Officinal Sage (Salvia officinalis L.) Cultivated in Different Biotopes of Northwestern Tunisia

We aimed in the present study to investigate the chemical composition, the antioxidant capacities as well as the in vitro fermentation properties of Salvia officinalis leaves aqueous extract (SOLAE) grown in four regions of northwestern Tunisia. Our data firstly indicated a spatial variation (P<0.05) in condensed tannins, total lipids, polyphenols and flavonoids contents. The HPLC‐PDA‐ESI‐MS/MS‐LC/HR‐ESI‐MS technique allowed to the identification of 13 phenolic compounds and showed that protocatechuic acid is the major constituent of the plant leaves grown in Tabarka, Ain Draham and Testour. The SOLAE of the plant grown in Tabarka presents the most potent scavenging activity against DPPH radical and had the highest percentage of inhibition. More importantly, we found in the present study that the digestibility of dry matter and in vitro fermentation showed a significant variation between the regions and the animal species. Also, we showed a very positive correlation between antioxidant properties and phenolic compounds contents. In conclusion, we suggest that SOLAE had potential beneficial effects owing in part to its antioxidant and ROS scavenging activities. Therefore, S. officinalis can be proposed as an additive food for animals’ nutrition and health.     

Plant sterols: Friend or foe in CNS disorders?

In mammals, the central nervous system (CNS) is the most cholesterol rich organ by weight. Cholesterol metabolism is tightly regulated in the CNS and all cholesterol available is synthesized in situ. Deficits in cholesterol homeostasis at the level of synthesis, transport, or catabolism result in severe disorders featured by neurological disability. Recent studies indicate that a disturbed cholesterol metabolism is involved in CNS disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), multiple sclerosis (MS), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In contrast to circulating cholesterol, dietary plant sterols, can cross the blood–brain barrier and accumulate in the membranes of CNS cells. Plant sterols are well-known for their ability to lower circulating cholesterol levels. The finding that they gain access to the CNS has fueled research focusing on the physiological roles of plant sterols in the healthy and diseased CNS. To date, both beneficial and detrimental effects of plant sterols on CNS disorders are defined. In this review, we discuss recent findings regarding the impact of plant sterols on homeostatic and pathogenic processes in the CNS, and elaborate on the therapeutic potential of plant sterols in CNS disorders.     

Towards the identification of late-embryogenic-abundant phosphoproteome in Arabidopsis by 2-DE and MS

Late-embryogenesis-abundant (LEA) proteins accumulate as plant seeds desiccate and also in vegetative organs during periods of stress. They are predicted to play a role in plant stress tolerance. In the present study, we have initiated the characterization of phosphorylated LEA proteins present in the Arabidopsis seed, using a strategy that combines the thermostability (solubility upon heating) of many LEA-type proteins with the use of phosphoaffinity chromatography to obtain an enriched subpopulation of phosphoproteins. The specificity and efficiency of the procedure was assessed by alkaline phosphatase treatment and by a specific stain for phosphoproteins, in addition to the immunodetection of AtRab18, a phosphorylated LEA protein present in the mature dry seed. The phosphoproteins were identified by MS either by PMF using MALDI-TOF MS after 2-DE separation, or by peptide sequencing using both capillary LC MS/MS (LC muESI-ITMS/MS) and nanoLC coupled to nanoESI-MS/MS (LC-nanoESI-Q-TOF-MS/MS). Several LEA-type and storage-like proteins were identified as components of the phosphoproteome of the Arabidopsis seed.     

Phytoextraction of copper from contaminated soil by Elsholtzia splendens as affected by EDTA, citric acid, and compost

Phytoextraction of copper (Cu) from contaminated soils greatly depends on the metal bioavailability in the soils and metal uptake ability of the plant. In this study, the effects of chelators [ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), citric acid (CA)] and compost amendments on Cu phytoextraction potential by a tolerant and accumulating plant species (E. splendens) were examined in two types of contaminated soils, ie., the mined soil from Cu-mined area (MS) and a paddy soil polluted by Cu refining (PS). The results showed that EDTA application at 2.5-5.0 mmol kg(-1) increased phytoextraction of Cu by four- and eight-fold from both MS and PS, respectively, which is mainly attributed to increased H2O extractable Cu in the soil. The Cu amount extracted by the shoots of E. splendens reached 800-1000 microg Cu plant(-1) from the MS and 400-700 microg Cu plant(-1) from the PS at EDTA application rates of 2.5-5.0 mmol kg(-1). The application of CA at 5.0 mmol kg(-1) had minimal effects on Cu extractability in both soils and slightly decreased Cu extraction efficiency by E. splendens. Plant biomass production was enhanced by CA at 0.25 mmol L(-1) in nutrient solution, but inhibited by CA at 5.0 mmol kg(-1) in both MS and PS. Increasing the compost rate significantly decreased H2O extractable Cu in the MS, but raised H2O-extractable Cu in the PS, which resulted mainly front the reduced exchangeable Cu in the MS and the increased exchangeable and organic fractions of Cu in the PS by compost. At high compost rate (5%), the shoots of E. splendens extracted 3.6-fold higher Cu from the PS than from the MS. These results indicate that, among the soil amendments, efficiency of Cu phytoextraction is enhanced mostly by 2.5-5.0 mmol kg(-1) EDTA, followed by 5% (w:w) compost, whereas < 5.0 mmol kg(-1) CA has minimal effects on Cu phytoextraction by E. splendens in the PS. As for the MS, only 2.5-5.0 mmol kg(-1) EDTA can elevate the efficiency of Cu, while 5% compost amendment and < 5.0 mmol kg(-1) CA application have no marked effects on Cu phytoextraction by E. splendens.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">In vitro</Emphasis> germination and axillary shoot propagation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Centaurea zeybekii</Emphasis>

In vitro culture is an important aid for ex situ conservation of rare, endemic or threatened plants. In this work, we establish an efficient method for the seed germination, seedling development, and axillary shoot propagation of Centaurea zeybekii Wagenitz. The seeds, collected from a wild population, were surface sterilised and cultured on various in vitro germination media. The effects of photoperiod and temperature on seed germination were also investigated. Germinations were obtained after 6 weeks in culture and the radicle emergence was evaluated as a main indicator. A high frequency of germination was obtained on distilled water supplemented with vitamines and 1 mg/L GA₃. Although the seed germination frequencies were not affected by photoperiod, the highest germination frequency was obtained at 24 ± 2°C. A high frequency of axillary shoot proliferation was produced on MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/L BA. Then, the axillary shoots were separated and transferred to MS medium with or without plant growth regulators for rooting. Rhizogenezis was promoted after 6 weeks only in MS and 1/2 MS media containing 0.5 mg/L IBA. The rooting process was very slow and the percentage of shoot rooting was also very low (15%). The present study not only enables reinforcement of wild plant populations using ex situ growth of individuals, but it also helps to large number of aseptic seedling to use it in clonaly micropropagation studies.     

Advances in qualitative and quantitative plant membrane proteomics

The membrane proteome consists of integral and membrane-associated proteins that are involved in various physiological and biochemical functions critical for cellular function. It is also dynamic in nature, where many proteins are only expressed during certain developmental stages or in response to environmental stress. These proteins can undergo post-translational modifications in response to these different conditions, allowing them to transiently associate with the membrane or other membrane proteins. Along with their increased size, hydrophobicity, and the additional organelle and cellular features of plant cells relative to mammalian systems, the characterization of the plant membrane proteome presents unique challenges for effective qualitative and quantitative analysis using mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. Here, we present the latest advancements developed for the isolation and fractionation of plant organelles and their membrane components amenable to MS analysis. Separations of membrane proteins from these enriched preparations that have proven effective are discussed for both gel- and liquid chromatography-based MS analysis. In this context, quantitative membrane proteomic analyses using both isotope-coded and label-free approaches are presented and reveal the potential to establish a wider-biological interpretation of the function of plant membrane proteins that will ultimately lead to a more comprehensive understanding of plant physiology and their response mechanisms.
