氮素水平对小麦幼苗叶绿体色素蛋白复合体含量的影响

在水培条件下,研究了不同氮素水平对小麦幼苗叶绿体色素、色素蛋白复合体含量及其光谱特征的影响。结果显示:(1)氮素水平较低时PSⅡ捕光色素蛋白复合体LHCⅡ在24~30 kD范围内的蛋白含量降低,不供氮时,色素蛋白复合体含量最低,而高分子量区域的蛋白组分相对较为稳定,说明氮素水平影响PSⅡ的多肽组分,而对PSⅠ多肽组分的影响相对较小。(2)室温吸收光谱分析表明,氮素水平较低时结合态色素的含量及比例发生改变,影响植物对光的吸收能力;荧光激发及发射光谱的峰值均随氮素浓度的升高而升高,说明增加施氮量时,叶绿体类囊体中受激发的色素分子数目增加,荧光强度也随之增大;叶绿体蛋白含量在16.86 mg.L-1氮素浓度时最大。

LIGHT-HARVESTING PIGMENT-PROTEIN COMPLEXES OF THE ULVOPHYCEAE (CHLOROPHYTA):CHARACTERIZATION AND PHYLOGENETIC SIGNIFICANCE1

Photosystem II light-harvesting complexes were isolated from a number of ulvophycean algae. Some of these light-harvesting complexes displayed unusual features, most notably a high apparent molecular weight (ca. 58,000) when isolated by lithium doderyl sulfate polyarrylamide gel electrophoresis. Other ulvophycean light-harvesting complexes had a low-molecular weight (ca. 30,000). The distribution of the high-molecular weight complex was limited to certain members of the Caulerpales and Blastophysa rhizopus (Siphanocladales). Within the Caulerpales, there were also spectral differences between the high-molecular weight and low-molecular weight light-harvesting complex types. The differences in light-harvesting complexes in the Ulvophyceae suggest that there are two lines of evolution in the Caulerpales and that Blastophysa may be an intermediate between the Siphon-ocladales and the Caulerpales.

EVALUATING PATTERNS OF CONVERGENT EVOLUTION AND TRANS‐SPECIES POLYMORPHISM AT MHC IMMUNOGENES IN TWO SYMPATRIC STICKLEBACK SPECIES

The immunologically important major histocompatibility complex (MHC) harbors some of the most polymorphic genes in vertebrates. These genes presumably evolve under parasite‐mediated selection and frequently show inconsistent allelic genealogies, where some alleles are more similar between species than within species. This phenomenon is thought to arise either from convergent evolution under parallel selection or from the preservation of ancient allelic lineages beyond speciation events (trans‐species polymorphism, TSP). Here, we examine natural populations of two sympatric stickleback species (Gasterosteus aculeatus and Pungitius pungitius) to investigate the contribution of these two mechanisms to the evolution of inconsistent allelic genealogies at the MHC. Overlapping parasite taxa between the two host species in three different habitats suggest contemporary parallel selection on the MHC genes. Accordingly, we detected a lack of species‐specific phylogenetic clustering in the immunologically relevant antigen‐binding residues of the MHC IIB genes which contrasted with the rest of the coding and noncoding sequence. However, clustering was not habitat‐specific and a codon‐usage analysis revealed patterns of similarity by descent. In this light, common descent via TSP, in combination with intraspecies gene conversion, rather than convergent evolution is the more strongly supported scenario for the inconsistent genealogy at the MHC.     

EFFECTS OF VARIATION IN TEMPERATURE. II. ON THE FATTY ACID COMPOSITION OF EIGHT SPECIES OF MARINE PHYTOPLANKTON1

Eight species of marine phytoplankton showed significant variation in the relative amount of some fatty acids (FAs) in response to variation in temperature. Large changes in relative amounts of certain FAs occurred as a result of a 15° C change in growth temperature. For example, 14:0 increased from ?4% of total FAs at 10° C to > 20% at 25° C for Chaetoceros simplex and Isochrysis aff. galbana but decreased for Phaeodactylum tricornutum. The percentage of the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) 16:ω1 was consistently greater at 10° C than at 25° C, and the converse was usually true for 16: 4ω3. Calculated over all eight species, there was a modest but significant inverse relationship between the percentage of PUFAs and temperature. Only for Thalassiosira pseudonana was the percentage of either of the PUFAs and nutritionally essential fatty acids (EFAs) also an inverse function of temperature. For T. pseudonana, the percentage of the EFA 22:6ω3 decreased linearly with increasing temperature over the range from 10 to 25° C. For three species, the ratio of unsaturated/saturated FAs was correlated with growth rate when growth rate was controlled by variation in irradiance and temperature. Only for Thalassiosira pseudonana was the ratio of unsaturated/saturated FAs also an inverse function of temperature alone.     

THE PIGMENT-PROTEIN COMPOUND IN PHOTOSYNTHETIC BACTERIA : II. THE ABSORPTION CURVES OF PHOTOSYNTHIN FROM SEVERAL SPECIES OF BACTERIA

Absorption curves have been obtained in the spectral region of 450 to 900 mµ for the water soluble cell juice of four species of photosynthetic bacteria, Spirillum rubrum (strain S1), Rhodovibrio sp. (strain Gaffron), Phaeomonas sp. (strain Delft), and Streptococcus varians (strains C11 and orig.). These curves all show maxima at 790 and 590 mµ due to bacteriochlorophyll, whose highest band, however, occurs at 875, 855, or 840 mµ depending on the species. The bacteria that appear red rather than brown have a band at 550 mµ due to a carotinoid pigment. An absolute absorption curve of bacteriophaeophytin has maxima at 530 and 750 mµ. The extraction of cell juice by supersonic vibration does not change the position of the absorption bands or of the light absorbing capacity of the pigment.     

Rapid isolation of photosystem I chlorophyll-binding proteins by anion exchange perfusion chromatography

With the new method of anion exchange perfusion chromatography we have devised an extremely rapid technique to subfractionate spinach Photosystem I into its chlorophyll a containing core complex and various components of the Photosystem I light-harvesting antenna (LHC I). The isolation time for the LHC I subcomplexes following solubilisation of native Photosystem I was reduced from 50 h using traditional density centrifugation procedures down to only 10–25 min by perfusion chromatography. Within this very short period of isolation, LHC I has been obtained as subfractions highly enriched in Lhca2+3 (LHC I-680) and Lhca1+4 (LHC I-730). Moreover, other highly enriched subfractions of LHC I such as Lhca2, Lhca3 and Lhca1+2+4 were obtained where the later two populations have not previously been obtained in a soluble form and without the use of SDS. These various subfractions of the LHC I antenna have been characterised by absorption spectroscopy, 77 K fluorescence-spectroscopy and SDS-PAGE demonstrating their identities, functional intactness and purity. Furthermore, the analyses located a chlorophyll b pool to preferentially transfer its excitation energy to the low energy F735 chromophore, and located specifically the origin of the 730 nm fluorescence to the Lhca4 component. It was also revealed that Lhca2 and Lhca3 have identical light-harvesting properties. The isolated Photosystem I core complex showed high electron transport capacity (1535 moles O₂ mg Chl^–1 h^–1) and low fluorescence yield (0.4%) demonstrating its high functional integrity. The very rapid isolation procedure based upon perfusion chromatography should in a significant way facilitate the subfractionation of Photosystem I proteins and thereby allow more accurate functional and structural studies of individual components.Abbreviations a.u. arbitrary units - DCIP 2.6-dichlorophenol indophenol - LHC light harvesting complex     

EFFECTS OF VARIATION IN TEMPERATURE. I. ON THE BIOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF EIGHT SPECIES OF MARINE PHYTOPLANKTON1

The influence of temperature on the biochemical composition of eight species of marine phytoplankton was investigated. Thalassiosira pseudonana Hasle and Heim-dal, Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin and, Pavlova lutheri Droop (three of eight species studied) had minimum values of carbon and nitrogen quotas at intermediate temperatures resulting in a broad U-shaped response in quotas over the temperature range of 10 to 25°C. Protein per cell also had minimum values at intermediate temperatures for six species. For T. pseudonana, P. tricornutum, and P. lutheri, patterns of variation in carbon, nitrogen, and protein quotas as a function of temperature were similar. Over all species, lipid and carbohydrate per cell showed no consistent trends with temperature. Only chlorophyll a quotas and the carbon: chlorophyll a ratios (θ) showed consistent trends across all species. Chlorophyll a quotas were always lower at 10°C than at 25°C. Carbon: chlorophyll a ratios (θ) were always higher at 10°C than at 25°C. We suggest that although θ consistently increases at lower temperatures, the relationship between temperature and θ ranges from linear to exponential and is species specific. Accordingly, the interspecific variance in θ that results from species showing a range of possible responses to temperature increases as temperature declines and reaches a maximum at low temperatures. High photon flux densities appear to increase the potential interspecific variance in the carbon: chlorophyll a ratio and therefore exacerbate these trends.     

CHARACTERIZATION OF THE LIGHT-HARVESTING COMPLEX OF GIRAUDYOPSIS STELLIFER (CHRYSOPHYCEAE) AND EFFECTS OF LIGHT STRESS1

The light-harvesting complex (LHC) of Giraudyopsis stellifer Dangeard was isolated on a sucrose density gradient after digitonin treatment, and the pigment composition was analyzed by reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. The LHC is a chlorophyll (Chl) a/c/ fucoxanthin/violaxanthin complex, depleted of β-carotene, comparable to the LHC of Fucophyceae. The excitation transfer from Chl c and fucoxanthin to Chl a is efficient in whole cells. Immunological reactions indicate a close relationship between Chrysophyceae and Fucophyceae. The immunocytochemical labeling confirms the lack of segregation of the LHC in the appressed membranes of the three associated thylakoids and its localization in the intrapyrenoid thylakoid. The violaxanthin-antheraxanthin-zeaxanthin cycle is operative in the cells and efficiently protects photosystem II reaction centers against photoinhibition.
