外源腐胺对油桃采后生理及与其相关酶活性的影响

研究外源腐胺(Put)对油桃品种‘秦光2号’果实采后生理及与其相关酶活性影响的结果表明:在0℃贮藏条件下Put处理的油桃冷害比未经Put处理的延迟10d发生,冷害发生率和冷害指数下降,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)的活性均提高,脂氧合酶(LOX)活性受抑,果实的乙烯释放量和呼吸速率下降,二者跃变高峰出现推迟,果实硬度下降延缓,可溶性固形物(TSS)含量保持在较高水平,但Put对油桃中可滴定酸(TA)含量影响不显著。     

采后荔枝果实冷害过程中多胺含量的变化

以桂味荔枝果实为材料,研究冷害及外源亚精胺(Spd)处理对果实膜透性和内源多胺含量变化的影响。结果表明,在0℃下贮藏时果实发生冷害过程中,荔枝果皮中腐胺(Put)、Spd、精胺(Spm)含量在14d后明显增加,膜透性快速增大,21d时果皮出现明显的冷害褐变,Put进一步积累,而Spm含量下降,Spd保持较高水平。非冷害温度(3℃)下贮藏时,果皮多胺含量变化相对较小。0℃下果肉的多胺含量和变化幅度低于3℃果实,并延迟7d衰老。外源Spd处理明显提高果实内源多胺含量的同时,延缓了果皮相对膜透性增加,减轻了冷害。这表明果皮中Put的积累可能是荔枝果实冷害的结果,冷藏初期Spm含量的上升可能是果实对冷害的防卫反应。     

低温胁迫对麻竹叶片和根系抗性生理指标的影响

采用室内人工低温处理,研究了麻竹(Dendrocalamus latiflorus)叶片及根部质膜透性、丙二醛、可溶性蛋白、可溶性糖含量,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)活性和膜脂脂肪酸组成的变化,寻找与竹类植物耐寒性关系最密切的抗性生理指标。结果表明:低温预处理(8℃)15d后,麻竹叶片中可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白含量、POD活性显著提高,根部可溶性糖含量、POD活性显著升高;低温胁迫处理(-2℃)72h后,经低温预处理的麻竹叶片可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白质含量、SOD、POD活性显著高于未经低温预处理,而质膜透性显著低于未经低温预处理,但膜脂过氧化程度显著高于-2℃处理前;经低温预处理的麻竹根部SOD、POD活性及膜脂不饱和脂肪酸相对含量显著高于未经低温预处理,而质膜透性、膜脂过氧化程度较-2℃处理前无显著差异。说明剧烈降温对麻竹生理特征造成严重影响,叶片通过提高可溶性蛋白、可溶性糖含量,维持较高的POD活性以减轻低温伤害;根系则通过维持较高的SOD、POD活性以减轻低温下膜脂过氧化水平,并通过提高膜脂不饱和脂肪酸比例降低质膜透性来抵御低温对膜的伤害。

Effects of paclobutrazol and chilling temperatures on lipids, antioxidants and ATPase activity of plasma membrane isolated from green bell pepper fruits

The effects of paclobutrazol treatment on plasma membrane lipid composition and ATPase activity of bell pepper fruit ( Capsicum annuum ) subjected to chilling temperatures were assessed. Application of the growth regulator paclobutrazol affected plant growth and fruit morphology. The plants were more compact and the fruits were less elongated than control fruits. There was about 60% more plasma membrane on a fresh weight basis from treated fruits. At harvest there was no difference in sterol to phospholipid ratio, or in phospholipid fatty acid composition of control compared with paclobutrazol treated fruit. However, plasma membrane ATPase acitivity of treated fruit was two times higher than that of control fruit. After storage at chilling temperature (2°C), the control fruit developed more chilling iniury, and had greater weight loss and a higher rate of K⁺ leakage than paclobulrazol treated fruit. Plasma membrane phospholipid content decreased and saturation of phospholipid fatty acids was higher than in control fruit. These two changes were largely absent in plasma membrane from treated fruit. At harvest antioxidant levels in the plasma membrane of paclobutrazol treated peppers were higher than in those of controls and changed little during storage, whereas levels in control fruit plasma membrane decreased 66%. ATPase activity increased and then decreased in control fruit held at low temperature, whereas in treated fruit activity was constant. The protective effect of paclobutrazol against chilling injury of pepper fruit may result from a combination of its effect on fruit morphology, and protection of the lipids against oxidative stress.     

Effect of chilling and subsequent storage at 20°C on electrolyte leakage and phospholipid fatty acid composition of tomato pericarp

Mature green tomato fruit ( Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Caruso) were stored at 1°C or 20°C and analyzed on day 0, 18 and 22 for electrolyte leakage, ripening-associated changes in pigmentation and phospholipid fatty acid composition. Chilled fruit were also analyzed 4 days after they were returned to 20°C. Fruit did not ripen significantly during chilling and subsequent storage at 20°C, and showed visible chilling injury symptoms only at 20°C. Electrolyte leakage increased in control and chilled fruit, indicating enhanced membrane permeability during both ripening and chilling. Returning the fruit to ambient temperature gave an apparent decrease in electrolyte leakage. Phospholipid and linolenic acid content and double bond index decreased during ripening at 20°C. The small changes in phospholipid fatty acid composition during chilling cannot account for the enhanced membrane permeability. The significant decrease in percentage of linolenic acid and in double bond index in the total lipids, but not in the phospholipids, upon returning the fruit to 20°C suggests loss of galactolipid polyunsaturated fatty acids     

Low temperature alters plasma membrane lipid composition and ATPase activity of pineapple fruit during blackheart development

Plasma membrane (PM) plays central role in triggering primary responses to chilling injury and sustaining cellular homeostasis. Characterising response of membrane lipids to low temperature can provide important information for identifying early causal factors contributing to chilling injury. To this end, PM lipid composition and ATPase activity were assessed in pineapple fruit (Ananas comosus) in relation to the effect of low temperature on the development of blackheart, a form of chilling injury. Chilling temperature at 10 °C induced blackheart development in concurrence with increase in electrolyte leakage. PM ATPase activity was decreased after 1 week at low temperature, followed by a further decrease after 2 weeks. The enzyme activity was not changed during 25 °C storage. Loss of total PM phospholipids was found during postharvest senescence, but more reduction was shown from storage at 10 °C. Phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine were the predominant PM phospholipid species. Low temperature increased the level of phosphatidic acid but decreased the level of phosphatidylinositol. Both phospholipid species were not changed during storage at 25 °C. Postharvest storage at both temperatures decreased the levels of C18:3 and C16:1, and increased level of C18:1. Low temperature decreased the level of C18:2 and increased the level of C14:0. Exogenous application of phosphatidic acid was found to inhibit the PM ATPase activity of pineapple fruit in vitro. Modification of membrane lipid composition and its effect on the functional property of plasma membrane at low temperature were discussed in correlation with their roles in blackheart development of pineapple fruit.     

Effect of paclobutrazol and chilling on leaf membrane lipids in cucumber seedlings

The effects of paclobutrazol on the leaf membrane lipid composition of seedlings of cucumber ( Cucumis sativus L. cv. Victory) subjected to chilling temperatures were assessed. At a non-injurious temperature (12.5°C), there was no difference in the polar lipid fatty acid composition or in the glycolipid, phospholipid or free sterol content of leaves from treated vs untreated seedlings, regardless of whether paclobutrazol was administered 1 or 7 days prior to analysis. In the latter case (7 days pretreatment), there were clear effects of the bioregulator on plant growth and morphology as well as on leaf chlorophyll content. At an injurious chilling temperature (5°C), desaturation of leaf polar lipid fatty acids was markedly reduced in both treated and untreated seedlings. Chilling at 5°C resulted in losses of fresh weight and membrane lipids in leaves of both groups of plants. These losses were either reversible or irreversible, depending upon the duration of chilling and of pretreatment with paclobutrazol. Seedlings pretreated with 10 μg ml⁻¹ paclobutrazol generally sustained less chilling injury than untreated controls, as judged by the extent of wilting, necrosis and desiccation. This correlated with reduced losses of leaf fresh Weight and membrane lipids.     

The role of ethylene in the prevention of chilling injury in nectarines

Woolliness is a chilling injury phenomenon occurring in nectarines held at low temperatures for extended periods. It is a disorder marked by altered cell wall metabolism during ripening leading to a dry, woolly texture in the fruit. Two treatments were found to alleviate this disorder. One was holding the fruits for 2 days at 20 °C before 0 °C storage (delayed storage) and the second was having ethylene present during cold storage (ethylene). Immediately stored fruit (control) had 88 percnt; woolliness while 7 percnt; of delayed storage and 15 percnt; of ethylene fruit showed woolliness. The severity of the injury in individual fruits was closely related to inhibition of ethylene evolution. Woolly fruit had higher levels of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) and less 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase (ACO, EC 1.4.3) activity than healthy fruit. It is suggested that ethylene is essential for promoting the proper sequence of cell wall hydrolysis necessary for normal fruit softening. This is in contrast to chilling injury in other fruits, whereby ethylene is often a sign of incipient damage. Respiration was also found to be associated with chilling injury, in that fruit with woolliness had a depressed respiration.

Incidence of ripening and chilling injury on the oxidative activities and Fatty Acid compositions of the mitochondria from mango fruits

The succinate oxidation capacities of mitochondria isolated from mango fruits (Mangifera indica L.) stored at 4, 8, 12, and 20 C were investigated during storage. In normally ripening fruits (at 12 and 20 C) the oxidative capacities increased during the first 10 days and then decreased slowly. At lower temperatures (4 and 8 C), the fruits showed chilling injury symptoms, after about 10 days of storage and the succinate oxidation capacities of mitochondria decreased progressively. Plots of succinate oxidation capacities as against storage temperature showed a marked discontinuity between 12 and 8 C, only when chilling injury was observed on fruits stored at low temperature.

The variations of mitochondrial fatty acid composition during the storage of fruits at different temperatures were also investigated. A marked decrease of the molar ratio palmitoleic acid/palmitic acid, the predominant fatty acids in mitochondrial lipids, was observed to accompany both the succinate oxidation decrease and the induction of chilling injury.

     

Osmopriming-Regulated Changes of Plasma Membrane Composition and Function were Inhibited by Phenylarsine Oxide in Soybean Seeds

The aim of the present work was to investigate the effects of osmoconditioning on chilling injury in chilling-sensitive soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr. Zhonghuang No. 22) seeds during imbibition. Low temperatures reduced the germination rate and no seed germinated at 1 °C. Osmoconditioning of seeds at 20 °C with a polyethylene glycol-8000 (PEG8000) solution at 1.5 MPa for 72 h followed by drying back to their initial moisture content (MC) reduced their chilling sensitivity. The phenylarsine oxide (PAO), an inhibitor of protein tyrosinephosphatases, was used to investigate the possible involvement of phosphorylation-dephosphorylation of Tyr residues in the plasma membrane composition and function when seeds were osmoconditioned. The results showed the germination of osmoconditioned seeds decreased significantly when PAO was added in PEG solution after chilling treatment. PAO inhibited changes in composition of plasma membrane phospholipids and fatty acid induced by osmocondition, indicated that tyrosine protein phosphorylation is involved in the regulatory mechanisms of osmocondition-responsive chilling in soybean seeds. Western blot result further indicated that osmocondition treatment improved the activity of plasma membrane H⁺-ATPase after chilling treatment, but this effect was abolished by PAO. The possible regulation mechanism by Tyr protein phosphorylation is discussed.     

Membrane lipid dynamics and lipid peroxidation in the early stages of low‐temperature sweetening in tubers of Solanum tuberosum

Sugar accumulation and membrane lipid parameters associated with membrane permeability in chilling injury and senescence were followed in the early stages of low‐temperature sweetening in Solanum tuberosum tubers to monitor their dynamics. Norchip, a low‐temperature sweetening‐susceptible potato cultivar, and North Dakota 860‐2, a low‐temperature sweetening‐tolerant selection, were stored for 55 days at 4 and 12°C. Sugar accumulations were not linear and were characterized by fluctuations or cycles over storage time. Sucrose cycling and accumulation were greatest for Norchip tubers stored at 4°C as compared to the other treatments. Increases in membrane permeability were not detected by increases in electrolyte leakage. No significant changes in the phospholipid, galactolipid, free sterol levels or phospholipid to free sterol ratio were observed. The double bond index obtained from the fatty acid profiles of the total lipid fraction decreased significantly (decreased unsaturation) for Norchip tubers at 4°C over time. Free fatty acid and diene conjugation values fluctuated and increased over time for all treatments with greater amplitude of fluctuations observed for Norchip tubers stored at 4°C. These latter effects may be due to the high levels of lipid acyl hydrolase and lipoxygenase found in potato tubers. When free fatty acid and diene conjugation values were plotted with glucose accumulation over time, a possible relationship among the variables was revealed. The observed peroxidation products could relate low‐temperature stress and the resultant low‐temperature sweetening to chilling injury and drought stress. The anti‐oxidative potential of potato tubers should be considered for future cultivar development as a mechanism to lessen the severity or rate of low‐temperature sweetening development.     

Overexpression of glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase gene improves chilling tolerance in tomato

A tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase gene (LeGPAT) was isolated. The deduced amino acid sequence revealed that LeGPAT contained four acyltransferase domains, showing high identities with GPAT in other plant species. A GFP fusion protein of LeGPAT was targeted to chloroplast in cowpea mesophyll protoplast. RNA gel blot showed that the mRNA accumulation of LeGPAT in the wild type (WT) was induced by chilling temperature. Higher expression levels were observed when tomato leaves were exposed to 4 degrees C for 4 h. RNA gel and western blot analysis confirmed that the sense gene LeGPAT was transferred into the tomato genome and overexpressed under the control of 35S-CaMV. Although tomato is classified as a chilling-sensitive plant, LeGPAT exhibited selectivity to 18:1 over 16:0. Overexpression of LeGPAT increased total activity of LeGPAT and cis-unsaturated fatty acids in PG in thylakoid membrane. Chilling treatment induced less ion leakage from the transgenic plants than from the WT. The photosynthetic rate and the maximal photochemical efficiency of PS II (Fv/Fm) in transgenic plants decreased more slowly during chilling stress and recovered faster than in WT under optimal conditions. The oxidizable P700 in both WT and transgenic plants decreased obviously at chilling temperature under low irradiance, but the oxidizable P700 recovered faster in transgenic plants than in the WT. These results indicate that overexpression of LeGPAT increased the levels of PG cis-unsaturated fatty acids in thylakoid membrane, which was beneficial for the recovery of chilling-induced PS I photoinhibition in tomato.
