PEG胁迫对文冠果种子萌发和幼苗生理特性的影响

在种子发芽箱中,以清水为对照,用5%、10%、15%、20%、25%、30%和35%共7个浓度聚乙二醇(PEG-6000)溶液浇灌栽培基质,观察文冠果种子的萌发和幼苗生长情况,以及幼苗叶片脯氨酸、丙二醛的含量和细胞膜相对透性的变化,探讨文冠果种子萌发对土壤水分的要求及其幼苗忍耐干旱的能力。结果显示:(1)在PEG浓度5%～35%范围内,文冠果种子发芽率、成苗率、幼苗根长和细胞膜透性均随着胁迫强度的增加呈明显的下降趋势;细胞膜透性随着胁迫强度的增加先升高后降低,但脯氨酸、丙二醛含量和幼苗根数量则呈现逐渐上升趋势。(2)5%的PEG浓度能够促进文冠果种子萌发,提高成苗率和根数量,降低幼苗死亡率;5%～10%的PEG能够明显促进苗高生长,但对根长影响不大;当PEG浓度高于15%后,种子萌发受到抑制,成苗率明显降低。(3)当PEG浓度高于25%时幼苗死亡率急剧上升,幼苗脯氨酸含量、丙二醛含量和细胞膜透性显著增加,细胞膜结构受到严重伤害。研究表明,低浓度PEG处理有利于文冠果种子萌发和幼苗生长,但过高浓度却对文冠果种子萌发和幼苗生长具有一定的抑制作用;文冠果种子萌发及其幼苗可忍受5%～25%的PEG渗透胁迫,即文冠果种子萌发和幼苗生长可忍受土壤水势为-7.94～-11.05MPa的干旱胁迫。

该研究利用实验室不同恒温和变温控制试验,考察了不同温度[恒温(15℃、25℃、35℃)和变温(25℃/15℃、30℃/20℃,高温12 h,低温12 h)]处理对迷人杜鹃种子萌发、幼苗形态指标和生理生化指标的影响,探讨温度对迷人杜鹃种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响机制。结果表明:(1)迷人杜鹃种子在25℃/15℃变温条件下萌发率(87.69%)和萌发指数(8.65)均最高。(2)25℃/15℃变温有利于迷人杜鹃幼苗的地径、苗高、平均根长和萌枝数的增加,以及根、茎、叶生物量的积累。(3)25℃/15℃变温处理下幼苗叶片的总叶绿素、可溶性糖和可溶性蛋白含量最高,而MDA含量、CAT活性和SOD活性较低。研究认为,迷人杜鹃种子萌发和幼苗生长的最适宜温度条件为25℃/15℃(昼/夜),而在高温(35℃)和低温(15℃)环境下均会受到显著抑制。     

磁化水对小麦种子萌发、幼苗生长和生理特性的生物学效应

为研究磁化水对作物的生物学效应,本文详细分析了磁化水处理对小麦种子萌发、幼苗生长和生理特性的影响。研究结果显示：磁化水处理小麦的种子发芽参数与对照相比无显著差异;磁化水处理对小麦的株高、根长、地上部和根部鲜重等生长参数也无显著影响;同样,磁化水处理在叶片色素含量、可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白质含量、含水量、细胞汁液渗透势等重要生理特征参数方面也未显示出显著差异。此外,磁化水并未显著影响小麦叶片的光合作用。综上所述,磁化水处理对小麦种子萌发和幼苗生长无明显的生物学效应。     

铝浸种对荞麦种子萌发和幼苗生理的影响

对2个荞麦(Fagopyrum esculentumMoench)品种(小白花叶和溪荞5号)在铝浸种后萌发特性和幼苗的生理变化进行了初步研究。结果表明,10~1000mg.L-1的铝浸种处理对2个荞麦品种的发芽率和发芽指数影响不明显,低浓度铝(≤100mg.L-1)处理可降低荞麦种子细胞膜透性,减少细胞内营养物质的外渗,促进种子的萌发。5000mg.L-1的铝处理降低了荞麦的发芽指数。种子萌发后,铝对荞麦根的伸长有抑制作用,并且随着铝浓度的增加,抑制作用增大。10~1000mg.L-1的铝浸种处理对荞麦叶片内MDA含量影响较小,但高浓度的铝处理(5000mg.L-1)明显增加了MDA的含量;POD、SS、Pro随着铝浓度增加都有先降低后增加的趋势;不同品种叶片内CAT活性变化趋势不同,小白花叶内CAT活性对铝的敏感性大于溪荞5号。试验结果可以看出,荞麦种子和幼苗对环境中的铝都有较强的耐受性,在铝胁迫下,荞麦可以通过升高POD活性以及增加SS和Pro含量来缓解铝毒害,不同荞麦的基因型对铝毒害的反应有一定的差异性。     

CdCl2对豌豆种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响

以豌豆为实验材料,采用水培方法研究了Cd2 单盐胁迫对豌豆种子萌发与生长的影响。结果显示:(1)Cd2 质量浓度≤1 mg/L时,促进种子萌发,Cd2 质量浓度达到5 mg/L时抑制种子的萌发。(2)随Cd2 质量浓度的增加Cd2 对幼苗根生长的抑制作用逐渐增强;Cd2 质量浓度≤5 mg/L时,促进茎的生长,≥10 mg/L时,抑制茎的生长;且Cd2 对幼苗根生长的抑制作用大于茎。(3)低浓度Cd2 能促进幼苗叶绿素合成,当Cd2 质量浓度高于1 mg/L时,则对幼苗叶绿素合成有抑制作用,且随Cd2 质量浓度增加叶绿素含量逐渐下降。(4)Cd2 诱发的胚根细胞核、染色体畸变率随着Cd2 质量浓度增加而增大。(5)过氧化物酶(POD)同工酶的活性随着Cd2 质量浓度升高而明显增强,Cd2 质量浓度为1 mg/L时POD活性最强,但当Cd2 质量浓度达10 mg/L时,POD的灰度值明显下降。

多裂骆驼蓬提取物对黄瓜种子萌发和幼苗生理特性的影响

通过室内培养和盆栽土培试验研究了多裂骆驼蓬提取物对黄瓜种子萌发和幼苗生长及生理特性的影响。结果表明,多裂骆驼蓬总生物碱提取液、水溶性生物碱提取液和脂溶性生物碱提取液浸种均抑制黄瓜种子萌发过程中淀粉酶、蛋白酶和脂肪酶活性,种子活力和萌发速率降低,呼吸速率减慢;幼苗生长过程中根系活力、硝酸还原酶活性升高,叶绿素含量增加,超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）和过氧化物酶（POD）活性提高。说明用多裂骆驼蓬提取液浸种能够促进黄瓜幼苗生长,有利于培育壮苗。     

干旱胁迫对鹿角杜鹃种子萌发和幼苗生理特性的影响

为探明鹿角杜鹃种子萌发和幼苗生长期的耐旱性,以鹿角杜鹃干种子和90d苗龄幼苗为材料,采用聚乙二醇(PEG-6000)模拟不同程度的干旱胁迫,研究干旱胁迫对其种子萌发、早期幼苗生长及幼苗的细胞膜透性、MDA含量、有机渗透调节物质和抗氧化酶活性的影响,并对种子萌发率、早期幼苗生长量与PEG胁迫浓度间进行了回归分析。结果表明:(1)5%~25%PEG胁迫范围内,随着干旱胁迫程度的增加,鹿角杜鹃种子的发芽启动时间推迟,发芽持续时间延长,发芽率、发芽势、发芽指数、活力指数和幼苗生长量显著降低;重度干旱胁迫(25%PEG)下,鹿角杜鹃种子完全未萌发。(2)发芽率、发芽势、发芽指数、活力指数以及幼苗生长量的变化均与干旱胁迫程度呈极显著负相关关系,回归分析求得鹿角杜鹃种子萌发的半致死PEG干旱胁迫浓度为15.68%、半致矮PEG干旱胁迫浓度为15.37%。(3)随着PEG胁迫浓度的增加,鹿角杜鹃幼苗叶片SOD活性呈先升后降的趋势,但各胁迫处理仍显著高于CK(0%PEG);细胞膜透性、MDA、脯氨酸、可溶性糖含量、POD和CAT活性则在中度(15%~20%PEG)和重度胁迫下显著升高,与干旱胁迫程度呈极显著正相关关系。研究表明,干旱胁迫显著抑制了鹿角杜鹃种子萌发和早期幼苗生长,使其细胞膜受到损伤,同时鹿角杜鹃可通过体内渗透调节物质和抗氧化酶活性的增加来适应干旱环境,使得自身受抑制、损伤程度降到最低。     

外源甲醇对油菜种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响

Molecular analysis of a null mutant for pea (Pisum sativum L.) seed lipoxygenase-2

A mutant line of Pisum fulvum was identified that lacked seed lipoxygenase-2 (LOX-2). The mutant phenotype was introgressed into a standard Pisum sativum cv. Birte to provide near-isogenic lines with or without seed LOX-2. Genetic analyses showed the mutation to behave as a single, recessive Mendelian gene. Northern and dot-blot analyses showed a large reduction in LOX-2 mRNA from developing seeds of the LOX-2-null mutant. A restriction fragment length polymorphism associated with the 5 end of the LOX-2 gene(s) co-segregated with the null phenotype, indicating that the reduction of LOX-2 mRNA was neither a consequence of deletion of the LOX genes nor a consequence of the action of a genetically distant regulatory gene. Analysis of the 5-flanking sequences of LOX-2 genes from Birte and the near-isogenic LOX-2-null mutant revealed a number of insertions, deletions and substitutions within the promoter from the LOX-2-null mutant that could be responsible for the null phenotype. Incubation of crude seed LOX preparations from Birte and the LOX-2-null mutant showed that the latter generated relatively less 13-hydroperoxides and also produced relatively more hydroxy- and ketoacid compounds that have implications for the fresh-frozen pea industry.     

Effects of enhanced UV-B radiation on pea (Pisum sativum L.) grown under field conditions in the UK

A new modulated lamp system is described. This system has successfully provided an ultraviolet-B (UV-B) supplement in proportion to ambient UV-B. The modulated system was used to simulate the UV-B environment resulting from an annual mean reduction of 15% in the stratospheric ozone under UK field conditions, but taking account of seasonal variation in depletion. The effects of this enhanced level of UV-B on the growth, physiology and yield of four cultivars of pea were assessed. Enhanced UV-B resulted in small reductions in the number of stems and total stem length per plant (respectively 4.7 and 8.7%). There were also significant decreases in the dry weight of peas (10.1%), pods (10.3%) and stems (7.8%) per plant. UV-B treatment had no effect on the number of peas per pod or average pea weight, but did significantly reduce (12.1%) the number of pods per plant. This decrease in pod number was partly due to enhanced abscission of pods during the final month of plant growth. UV-B treatment had no significant effect on chlorophyll fluorescence characteristics or CO₂assimilation rate per unit leaf area. These results are consistent with previous controlled environment experiments, and suggest that reduction in yield may be due to direct effects of UV-B on plant growth rather than a decrease in photosynthetic capacity per unit leaf area.

Solute Heterogeneity and Osmotic Adjustment in Different Leaf Structures of Semi-Leafless Pea (Pisum sativum L.) Subjected to Water Stress

Abstract: Semi-leafless varieties of pea have considerable agronomic importance and it has been suggested that they may have a superior response to water deficits than conventional varieties. However, these varieties are poorly characterized from a physiological point of view and there is lack of a physiological basis for their supposed better performance under conditions of water deficit. Here, we describe the solute distribution in the different leaf structures of a semi-leafless pea variety ( Pisum sativum L.) under non-limiting water conditions and under water stress. A conventional variety was subjected to the same conditions for comparative purposes. A detailed study was carried out both at the tissue level and at the single cell level. In control conditions, epidermal vacuoles of tendrils showed a different ion distribution of those of the laminar leaf structures. However, under water deficit, only stipules of the semi-leafless variety showed a significantly higher capability to increase osmolarity. This occurred by accumulating potassium, magnesium and chloride to a higher extent than other leaf structures. The inability of performing an adequate osmotic adjustment in tendrils may be the cause of the lack of a better response to water deficit.     

A temperature-sensitive nodulation mutant (sym 5) of Pisum sativum L.

Abstract. In peas ( Pisum sativum L.) homozygous for sym 5, nodulation has an unusual temperature dependence. These sym 5 mutants nodulate poorly at a root temperature of 20°C but nodulate better at 12°C. By lowering the root temperature of the sym 5 mutants from a lightroom temperature of 20/15°C to a constant 12°C, 8d after planting, the number of nodules can be further increased. A cool period (12°C) as short as 6h, early in the infection process, is sufficient to significantly increase nodulation of plants otherwise growing at 20/15°C. This temperature-sensitivity of nodulation is not due to a temperature induced change of a sym 5-related, 66-kD peptide but may involve accumulation of a gas in the rhizosphere.
