We compared the foliar antioxidant status of native Agrostis stolonifera L. communities growing at two distinct CO2‐enriched sites of geothermal origin (E) and at a control field location with normal CO2. Compared to the control, plants from both E‐sites showed an increased size of the GSH pool, essentially due to enhanced GSSG levels, and a consequent decrease in the ratio between reduced and oxidised glutathione forms. Such differences were maintained and even enhanced in the vegetatively‐propagated progenies of control and E‐plants, grown under both greenhouse conditions and normal CO2 levels. The above results confirmed previous observations on native and crop plants exposed to elevated CO2. It is therefore suggested that changes in the glutathione redox balance might be of adaptive significance under conditions of permanent exposure to high CO2.  相似文献

The present study examined the response of antioxidant systems to NaCl stress and the relative importance of Na+ and Cl in NaCl-induced antioxidant systems in roots of rice seedlings. NaCl treatment caused an increase in the activities of ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR) in roots of rice seedlings, but had no effect on the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). There were detectable differences in APX and GR isoenzymes between control and NaCl-treated roots. Levels of activity for SOD and CAT isoenzymes did not change in NaCl-stressed roots compared with the control roots. NaCl treatment produced an increase in H2O2, ascorbate (AsA), dehydro-ascorbate (DHA), reduced glutathione (GSH), and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) levels. Treatment with 50 m M Na-gluconate (whose anion is not permeable to membrane) led to a similar Na+ level in roots to that with 100 m M NaCl. It was found that treatment with 50 m M Na-gluconate affected H2O2, AsA, and DHA levels, APX and GR activities, OsAPX and OsGR mRNA induction in the same way as 100 m M NaCl. These observed changes seem to be mediated by Na+ toxicity and not by Cl toxicity. On the other hand, it was found that NaCl, but not Na-gluconate and NaNO3, caused an increase in GSH and GSSG levels, indicating that Cl, rather than Na+, is responsible for the NaCl-increased GSH and GSSG levels in roots of rice seedlings.  相似文献

It was assumed that the genetic manipulation of the proline (Pro) level would also affect the (homo)glutathione content as both compounds have a common precursor, glutamate. To test this hypothesis, the levels of Pro, reduced and oxidized (homo)glutathione [(h)GSH and (h)GSSG] and other antioxidants were compared under simultaneous drought and heat stress conditions and in a control treatment in a time course experiment on wild-type soybean ( Glycine max cv. Ibis) and on transgenic plants containing the cDNA coding for l -Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase (EC 1.5.1.2), the last enzyme involved in Pro synthesis, in the sense and antisense directions. At the end of the recovery period, the highest H2O2 and lipid hydroperoxide concentrations were observed in the antisense transformants, which exhibited the greatest injury, while the lowest H2O2 content was detected in the sense transformants, which exhibited the lowest injury percentage. During stress treatment, the highest Pro and ascorbate (AA) levels were detected in the sense transformants, while the highest GSH and hGSH contents, AA/dehydroascorbate (DHA) and (h)GSH/(h)GSSG ratios and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity were found in the antisense transformants. The greatest APX (EC 1.11.1.11) activity was observed in the first part of the stress treatment in the antisense transformants, and the greatest glutathione reductase (EC 1.6.4.2) activity was observed in the second part of the treatment in the same genotype. The present experiments indicate that the manipulation of Pro synthesis affects not only the (h)GSH concentrations, but also the levels of other antioxidants.  相似文献

Photosystem II membranes (D-PSII) were isolated from dark-grown spruce seedlings. All major PSII proteins except the 17- and 23-kDa extrinsic proteins were present in D-PSII. O2 evolution and Mn content in D-PSII were negligible, while PSII-donor activity showed a value comparable to that of NH2OH-treated PSII membranes (NH2OH-L-PSII) from light-grown seedlings. Light incubation of D-PSII with 1 m M MnCl2, 50 m M CaCl2 and 100 μ M DCIP at pH 5.3 resulted in activation of the latent water-oxidizing complex. Accomplishment of photoactivation of PSII membranes from dark-grown spruce seedlings clearly indicates that only ligation of Mn2+ to the apo-water oxidizing complex is required for expression of O2 evolution, and that protein synthesis is not involved in the photoactivation process. There was no essential difference between 'photoactivation' of naturally Mn-free PSII membranes and 'photoreactivation' of artificially Mn-depleted PSII membranes on kinetics, pH dependence, Mn2+-concentration dependence. However, kinetics and pH dependence of photoactivation were appreciably different in spruce PSII membranes and in PSII membranes of angiosperms such as wheat and spinach.  相似文献

Ross, J. J. and Reid, J. B. 1989. Internode length in Pisum. Biochemical expression of the Le gene in darkness.
The Le gene appears to be biochemically expressed in dark-grown pea ( Pisum sativum L.) plants since the previously reported difference in metabolism of [3H]-GA30 between light-grown Le and Le plants was also observed in darkness. Furthermore, both light- and dark-grown Le plants contained more endogenous GA1, -like substance than did comparable Le plants. Darkness did not appear to significantly increase the accumulation of GA1, in either Le or Le plants, although confirmation of GA1 levels by gas chromatography-selected ion monitoring is still required. The results support previous findings that the overall metabolism of [3H]-GA20, is accelerated by darkness. The evidence presented here supports previous suggestions that darkness acts on internode length by increasing some aspect of GA sensitivity.  相似文献

Plant cell elongation depends on the physical properties of the primary cell wall. Because xyloglucan endotransglycosylases (XETs) are enzymes that mediate cleavage and rejoining of the beta(1-4)-XG backbone of primary cell wall, they are potentially involved in cell elongation. In this paper, the growth of the barley coleoptile was related to the expression patterns of two genes from this family (hvEXT, hvXEB) in experiments where coleoptile elongation varied according to light/dark treatments in order to assess the potential role of these genes in cell elongation. In dark-grown and light-grown coleoptiles, growth rate variations were associated with altered levels of expression of hvEXT and hvXEB: they were higher in dark-grown than in light-grown seedlings, and decreased after 5 d in darkness, and after 4 d in continuous light. In 4-d-old seedlings, coleoptile elongation decreased significantly 4 h after the onset of a continuous white- light irradiation, and hvXEB and hvEXT mRNA levels decreased, respectively, 2 h and 4 h after the onset of white-light irradiation. Moreover, the distribution of hvXEB and hvEXT along the coleoptiles of 4-d-old dark-grown seedlings were different. Altogether, these results suggest a complex pattern of temporal and positional expression for the different genes of the XET-related family.  相似文献

The effect of x-rays on GSH and GSSG levels in blood was studied in mice and humans. An HPLC method that we recently developed was applied to accurately determine GSSG levels in blood. The glutathione redox status (GSH/GSSG) decreases after irradiation. This effect is mainly due to an increase in GSSG levels. Mice received single fraction radiotherapy, at total doses of 1.0 to 7.0 Gy. Changes in GSSG in mouse blood can be detected 10 min after irradiation and last for 6 h within a range of 2.0–7.0 Gy. The highest levels of GSSG (20.1 ± 2.9 ), a 4.7-fold increase as compared with controls) in mouse blood are found 2 h after radiation exposure (5 Gy). Breast and lung cancer patients received fractionated radiotherapy at total doses of 50.0 or 60.0 Gy, respectively. GSH/GSSG also decreases in humans in a dose–response fashion. Two reasons may explain the radiation-induced increase in blood GSSG: (a) the reaction of GSH with radiation-induced free radicals resulting in the formation of thyl radicals that react to produce GSSG; and (b) an increase of GSSG release from different organs (e.g., the liver) into the blood. Our results indicate that the glutathione redox ratio in blood can be used as an index of radiation-induced oxidative stress. © 1997 Elsevier Science Inc.  相似文献

The carbamate insecticide carbaryl, at concentrations of 10 mg/l and above, significantly stimulated glutathione reductase (GR) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the cyanobacterium Nostoc muscorum. A low content of total glutathione (GSH + GSSG), decreased photosynthetic activity, and an increased level of H2O2 was observed in pesticide treated cyanobacteria. As no glutathione peroxidase was observed in this species, stimulation of GR and SOD activity, higher production of H2O2, and low glutathione level was attributed to the utilization of GSH to remove H2O2 spontaneously and nonenzymatically under conditions of pesticide toxicity.  相似文献
