荔枝蒂蛀虫成虫对LED光的趋性及其繁殖响应特征

为明确荔枝蒂蛀虫Conopomorpha sinensis成虫对不同LED光的趋性行为反应,初步筛选出该虫趋光性不同的光色并进一步研究其对成虫繁殖生物学特性的影响,以期为今后研发特异性强且绿色高效的荔枝蒂蛀虫灯光防控技术提供理论依据.本文采用对比实验法,测试了荔枝蒂蛀虫雌蛾对9种供试光源的趋性行为反应,并进一步研究夜间LED光照射对荔枝蒂蛀虫成虫交配率、繁殖力及寿命的影响.结果显示,荔枝蒂蛀虫雌成虫对不同LED光的趋光反应率由高到低为:蓝(445～450 nm)>紫(400～405 nm)>红(655～665 nm)>蓝绿(475～480 nm)>橙(600～605 nm)>绿(515～520 nm)>黄(570～575 nm)>白(400～700 nm)>黑暗>紫外(365 nm),试虫对紫外光表现出明显的避光性,对7种单色光表现为不同程度的趋光性,其中对黄光和白光的趋光率在50％以下.在繁殖生物学方面,夜间50 lx的LED黄光和白光持续照射能使荔枝蒂蛀虫成虫的交配率由93.75％降低至50％以下,且产卵前期延长,雌蛾产卵量显著降低.此外,夜间不同LED光源照射能抑制已交配荔枝蒂蛀虫雌蛾产卵活动,白光照射组的单雌日均产卵量降低程度最大,为50.71％,黄光次之(48.96％),蓝光最小,为38.06％.综上所述,荔枝蒂蛀虫雌蛾对LED白光和黄光的趋光性较弱,夜间适当的LED白光(400～700 nm)和黄光(570～575 nm)持续照射可有效降低成虫交配率和繁殖力,该结果对促进LED白光干扰防控荔枝蒂蛀虫技术的优化升级具有一定指导意义.     

Light‐induced stabilization of ACS contributes to hypocotyl elongation during the dark‐to‐light transition in Arabidopsis seedlings

Hypocotyl growth during seedling emergence is a crucial developmental transition influenced by light and phytohormones such as ethylene. Ethylene and light antagonistically control hypocotyl growth in either continuous light or darkness. However, how ethylene and light regulate hypocotyl growth, including seedling emergence, during the dark‐to‐light transition remains elusive. Here, we show that ethylene and light cooperatively stimulate a transient increase in hypocotyl growth during the dark‐to‐light transition via the light‐mediated stabilization of 1‐aminocyclopropane‐1‐carboxylic acid (ACC) synthases (ACSs), the rate‐limiting enzymes in ethylene biosynthesis. We found that, in contrast to the known inhibitory role of light in hypocotyl growth, light treatment transiently increases hypocotyl growth in wild‐type etiolated seedlings. Moreover, ACC, the direct precursor of ethylene, accentuates the effects of light on hypocotyl elongation during the dark‐to‐light transition. We determined that light leads to the transient elongation of hypocotyls by stabilizing the ACS5 protein during the dark‐to‐light transition. Furthermore, biochemical analysis of an ACS5 mutant protein bearing an alteration in the C‐terminus indicated that light stabilizes ACS5 by inhibiting the degradation mechanism that acts through the C‐terminus of ACS5. Our study reveals that plants regulate hypocotyl elongation during seedling establishment by coordinating light‐induced ethylene biosynthesis at the post‐translational level. Moreover, the stimulatory role of light on hypocotyl growth during the dark‐to‐light transition provides additional insights into the known inhibitory role of light in hypocotyl development.     

光处理对白头翁愈伤组织生长及代谢产物合成的影响

以白头翁试管苗叶片为外植体,于MS＋TDZ0.2 mg/L＋2,4-D 0.2 mg/L上进行愈伤组织诱导和增殖,进行不同光质照射,观察光处理下白头翁愈伤组织的生长和代谢产物合成情况.结果表明：黄光能提高愈伤组织的诱导率,产生的愈伤组织质地最好;光质对愈伤组织的鲜重增殖倍数依次为：黄（16.69）〉 红（11.41）〉 绿（8.97）〉 白（6.74）〉蓝（5.97）,延长光照时间会促进细胞生长;与白光相比,黄光和红光能显著促进干物质的积累,而蓝光明显抑制,绿光与白光两处理之间差异不明显.自然光照下,白头翁叶片中代谢产物极少,而黄、蓝和绿光均诱导合成了包括皂苷在内的数种代谢产物,而红光处理同白光一样只诱导出了一种代谢产物.由此可见,光处理可以调控白头翁愈伤组织的生长状态及皂苷等次生代谢物的积累.     

Effects of incident light intensity and light path length on cell growth and oil accumulation in Botryococcus braunii (Chlorophyta)

Botryococcus braunii was cultured in different light path length under different incident light intensity to investigate the effect of light on alga growth as well as hydrocarbon and fatty acid accumulation. Results indicated that longer light path length required higher incident light intensity in order to meet the light requirement of algal growth and hydrocarbon accumulation during the course of cultivation. However, hydrocarbon profile was only affected by the incident light intensity and not influenced by the light path length. High incident light intensity enhanced the accumulation of hydrocarbons with longer carbon chains. Besides, the fatty acid content and profiles were significantly influenced by both incident light intensity and light path. Higher fatty acid content and higher percentage of C18 and monounsaturated fatty acid components were achieved at the higher incident light intensity and lower light path length. Taken together, these results are benefit to improve its biomass and oil productivity through the optimization of light and photobioreactor design.     

Relationship between light conditions and behavior of the freshwater snail Biomphalaria glabrata (Say)

The influence of light upon behavior of Biomphalaria glabrata was investigated in snails submitted for 48 h to one of the following regimes: normal light cycle, continuous darkness, continuous light. Time-lapse cinematography was used to provide data about snail locomotor activity in response to (a) continuous light or darkness; (b) light or dark phases; (c) light transitions. Snails were significantly less active under continuous light than under continuous or intermittent darkness. Under the normal light cycle, the activity rate was significantly higher in the dark than in the light. Changes from light to dark corresponded to increases in the activity rate which persisted long afterwards. No significant variation in activity occurred upon changes from dark to light.     

Effect of different light qualities on the ultrastructure, thylakoid membrane composition and assimilation metabolism of Chlorella fusca

Chlorella fusca (Shihira et Krauss) strain C-1.1.10 was grown under three different light qualities (red, white or blue light) in homocontinuous cultures. Under electron microscopy, blue light cultures showed enlarged cells, thinner cell walls and lower starch content than red light cells. Under blue light, the degree of stacking of the thylakoid membranes was significantly lower than under white or red light conditions. Changing the light from blue to red the ratio of exposed to appressed membranes was doubled. Compared to red light cells, blue light cells exhibited higher photosynthetic rates per chlorophyll molecule and contained less chlorophyll per dry weight. Blue light stimulated the content of soluble protein as well as that of soluble carbohydrates. The dry weight productivity per unit time was enhanced under blue light conditions. The thylakoid protein complexes which are generally assumed to be localized in the exposed membranes were found in higher concentrations under blue light than under red light. In blue light, both the Photosystem II/Photosystem I ratio and the ratio of light-harvesting chlorophyll protein to P-700 chlorophyll a -protein were lower than in red light. Blue light cells contained twice the concentration of cytochrome f , which correlates well with their higher photosynthetic capacity. When altering the light quality, the degree of change in the reaction center complexes was much lower than expected given the corresponding degree of change in the ratio of exposed to appressed membranes. These results are discussed in light of the question as to whether the variation in the stoichiometry of the laterally distributed complexes can be explained by changes in the degree of stacking alone.     

Light quality influences adventitious shoot production from cotyledon explants of lettuce (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Lactuca sativa</Emphasis> L.)

Summary The influence of light quality on competence and determination for organogenesis was investigated using lettuce cotyledon explants. Lettuce seedlings from four genotypes were germinated in the dark or under white, red, or blue light. Cotyledon explants were excised and cultured on a shoot-inducing medium for 28 d under white light. Germination in the dark reduced shoot numbers, suggesting that light improves the competence of explants for organogenesis. When explants from seedlings germinated under white light were cultured under different light qualities, blue was found to inhibit shoot production while red light either promoted production or had no effect on shoot number compared to controls. Treatment with blue plus red light failed to overcome the inhibition by blue light. To ascertain the temporal responses of explants to light quality, they were cultured under red or blue light prior to transfer to the alternate treatment. Exposure to blue light within 7 d of excision permanently reduced explant competence for organogenesis. Exposure after this time had a minimal effect. These results suggest that both phytochrome and cryptochrome can regulate shoot production from lettuce cotyledon explants and blue light can only inhibit organogenesis, in lettuce, during a relatively small developmental window.     

Ultrastructure of the vegetative gametophytic cells of Porphyra leucosticta (Rhodophyta) grown in red, blue and green light

The ultrastructure of the vegetative gametophytic cells of Porphyra leucosticta Thuret grown in red, blue and green light was studied both in ultrathin sections and in replicas of rapidly frozen cells. High activity of dictyosornes and mucilage sacs results in a dramatic decrease of the protoplasmic area and in thicker cell walls in red light in comparison with blue light and the control. There are numerous well‐formed phycobili‐somes in blue light, whereas not well‐formed ones are present in red and especially in green light. There are also many phycobilisomes in the intrapyrenoidal thylakoids in blue light, fewer in green light, but they are absent in red light and in the control. It seems that in red and especially in green light, the phycobilisomes have fewer rods than in blue light. In green light, chloroplasts bear numerous genophores in contrast to blue and red light. The spacings of neighboring parallel thylakoids are as follows: control 64.3 nm, blue light 90.6 nm, red light 41.3 nm, green light 43.7 nm. Due to the relatively small spacing of the neighboring parallel thylakoids in red (41.3 nm) and in green light (43.7 nm) and of the given height of phycobilisomes (35 nm), the alternate phycobilisomes attached to neighboring lamellae are forced to interdigitate. The density of phycobilisomes per square micrometer of thylakoid surface dramatically increases in blue light (800 μm^?2) in relation to red (250 μm^?2) and green light (180 μm^?2). The protoplasmic fracture face of the thylakoids reveals numerous, tightly packed, but randomly distributed particles. The particle size distribution is uniform in the two types of fracture faces, with an average diameter of about 11.5 nm. In blue light, both the phycobilisomes and exoplasmic face particles are organized into rows with a spacing of 60–70 nm. The results (changes: in the protoplasmic area; in the spacing of the thylakoids; in phycobilisome arrangement; in structure, shape and size of phycobilisomes; and in the accumulation of plastoglobuli), have shown that the monochromatic light (blue, red and green) brings about marked changes in the package effect and consequently in the efficiency of light absorption. In addition, the blue light contributes to the intense production of chlorophyll a, phycoerythrin, phycocyanin and soluble proteins, while intense production of polysaccharidic material is attributed to red light.

Effect of light on seed germination of eight wetland Carex species

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In wetland plant communities, species-specific responses to pulses of white light and to red : far-red light ratios can vary widely and influence plant emergence from the seed bank. Carex species are the characteristic plants of sedge meadows of natural prairie wetlands in mid-continental USA but are not returning to restored wetlands. Little is known about how light affects seed germination in these species-information which is necessary to predict seed bank emergence and to develop optimal revegetation practices. The effects of light on germination in eight Carex species from prairie wetlands were investigated. METHODS: Non-dormant seeds of eight Carex species were used to determine the influence of light on germination by examining: (a) the ability of Carex seeds to germinate in the dark; (b) the effect of different lengths of exposures to white light on germination; (c) whether the effect of white light can be replaced by red light; and (d) whether the germination response of Carex seeds to white or red light is photoreversible by far-red light. KEY RESULTS: Seeds of C. brevior and C. stipata germinated >25 % in continuous darkness. Germination responses after exposure to different lengths of white light varied widely across the eight species. Carex brevior required <15 min of white light for > or =50 % germination, while C. hystericina, C. comosa, C. granularis and C. vulpinoidea required > or =8 h. The effect of white light was replaced by red light in all species. The induction of germination after exposure to white or red light was reversed by far-red light in all species, except C. stipata. CONCLUSIONS: The species-specific responses to simulated field light conditions suggest that (a) the light requirements for germination contribute to the formation of persistent seed banks in these species and (b) in revegetation efforts, timing seed sowing to plant community development and avoiding cover crops will improve Carex seed germination.

干季末雨季初以西双版纳热带雨林中木奶果和玉蕊2种树苗为材料,研究了将生长于12.5%自然光（相当于小林窗的光强）和36%自然光（相当于大林窗的光强）下的这2种树苗分别移至36%自然光和12.5%自然光下之后各自叶片最大净光合速率（Pmax）、叶绿素荧光参数、光合色素含量、比叶重（LMA）以及叶片悬挂角（MA）的变化过程,探讨了2种植物幼苗在生长环境光强改变后其形态和生理生态特性做出的相应调整以适应新的光环境的过程与机制。结果表明,这2种树苗均不适宜生长在大林窗的强光环境下,但木奶果对光环境的增强表现出一定的耐受力,光合适应潜力强于玉蕊,2种树苗对低光环境都能较好地适应;新叶的生成在整株植物对生长光环境变化的适应过程中也起到至关重要的作用。     

Effects of different LED sources on the growth and nitrogen metabolism of lettuce

Using a light-emitting diode (LED) as the light source, the effects of eight different light treatments [white light (control, W), purple light (P), blue light (B), red light (R), green light (G), yellow light (Y), red–blue light in a 9:1 ratio (9R/1B), and red–blue light in a 4:1 ratio (4R/1B)] on the growth, quality and nitrogen metabolism of lettuce were studied. The results showed that compared with the white light, the purple light, blue light, red light, and the red-blue light combination could all increase the biomass of the aboveground part of lettuce to various degrees, while green light and yellow light inhibited lettuce growth. Under blue light, the contents of soluble protein and flavonoid in lettuce were the highest; under red light, the soluble sugar content was the highest, while the contents of soluble protein, free amino acids, and vitamin C (VC) were relatively higher under the 4R/1B light condition. Compared with white light, the sources of purple, blue, and red lights as well as the red–blue light combination all significantly reduced nitrate accumulation in lettuce, and the activities of the nitrogen (N) metabolism-related enzymes such as nitrate reductase, nitrite reductase, glutamine synthetase, glutamate synthase, and glutamate dehydrogenase were increased to varying degrees. In contrast, the contents of nitrate and ammonium N were significantly accumulated in lettuce under green light, and the activities of relative enzymes were significantly reduced. Therefore, the purple light, blue light, and red–blue combination light sources could promote N assimilation and improve the aboveground biomass accumulation in lettuce by improving the activity of the N metabolism-related enzymes in lettuce. Particularly under the 4R/1B light source, the biomass, soluble protein, VC, and total amino acid content were rather high in lettuce, which indicated that the 4R/1B light source could better effectively improve the nutritional quality and promote the growth of lettuce, while yellow light and green light are not suitable to serve as direct sources in a plant factory. These results provide a certain theoretical basis for the regulation of the light environment in cultivation facilities.     

Photosynthesis-related infrared light transmission changes in spinach leaf segments

The time courses of infrared light transmission changes and fluorescence induced by light in spinach leaf segments were measured. The illumination by red light exhibited a complex wave pattern. The transmission approached the baseline after repeating decreases and increases. Illumination by far-red light decreased the transmission. One of the differences between the two responses was the difference between the two amplitudes of the first increasing component. The component in the red light response was larger than the component in the far-red light response. The transmission decrease by far-red light is supposed to correspond to "red drop." The transmission decrease by far-red light was suppressed by red light. This is due to an activation of a transmission-increasing component. This probably corresponds to "enhancement." A proportional correlation existed between the intensity of far-red light and the minimum intensity of red light that suppressed the transmission decrease induced by far-red light. The component which made Peak D in the time course of fluorescence yield and the first increasing component in the transmission changes were suppressed by intense light.     

Circadian Rhythms in Stomatal Responsiveness to Red and Blue Light

Stomata of many plants have circadian rhythms in responsiveness to environmental cues as well as circadian rhythms in aperture. Stomatal responses to red light and blue light are mediated by photosynthetic photoreceptors; responses to blue light are additionally controlled by a specific blue-light photoreceptor. This paper describes circadian rhythmic aspects of stomatal responsiveness to red and blue light in Vicia faba. Plants were exposed to a repeated light:dark regime of 1.5:2.5 h for a total of 48 h, and because the plants could not entrain to this short light:dark cycle, circadian rhythms were able to "free run" as if in continuous light. The rhythm in the stomatal conductance established during the 1.5-h light periods was caused both by a rhythm in sensitivity to light and by a rhythm in the stomatal conductance established during the preceding 2.5-h dark periods. Both rhythms peaked during the middle of the subjective day. Although the stomatal response to blue light is greater than the response to red light at all times of day, there was no discernible difference in period, phase, or amplitude of the rhythm in sensitivity to the two light qualities. We observed no circadian rhythmicity in net carbon assimilation with the 1.5:2.5 h light regime for either red or blue light. In continuous white light, small rhythmic changes in photosynthetic assimilation were observed, but at relatively high light levels, and these appeared to be attributable largely to changes in internal CO2 availability governed by stomatal conductance.     

Effects of light on somatic embryo development and abscisic levels in carrot suspension cultures

Carrot cells were cultured under various light spectra and intensities at different times following the initiation of suspension cultures from callus. The highest intensity white and blue light treatments were inhibitory to growth and somatic embryogenesis. Red and green light were not different from dark treatments which produced the highest total number of embryoids. After extended time in culture, carrot cells in blue light produced secondary embryoids and anthocyanin. Cultures in red light had multiple cotyledons and orange-pigmented radicles. Leafy cotyledons occurred in all light treatments. Abscisic acid production peaked at the heart stage of embryogenesis and synthesis was most pronounced in blue light. Red light enhanced development to the heart stage. Both the red and blue light spectra may be used to manipulate carrot cell cultures to optimize growth.     

Specific growth rate of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Chlorella sorokiniana under medium duration light/dark cycles: 13–87 s

The specific growth rate of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Chlorella sorokiniana decreased under square-wave light/dark cycles of medium duration, 13–87 s, in comparison to continuous illumination. Three experiments were done in three different turbidostats at saturating and sub-saturating light intensities during the light period, 240–630 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹. Within each experiment the light intensity during the light periods of the intermittent light regimes was equal and this intensity was also applied under continuous illumination. The specific growth rate decreased proportional or more than proportional to the fraction of time the algae were exposed to light; this light fraction ranged from 0.32 to 0.88. We conclude that under these light regimes the chlorophyta C. reinhardtii and C. sorokiniana are not able to store light energy in the light period to sustain growth in the dark period at the same rate as under continuous illumination. C. reinhardtii increased its specific light absorbing surface by increasing its chloropyll-a content under light/dark cycles of 13 s duration and a light fraction of 0.67 at 240 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹; the chloropyll-a content was twice as high under intermittent illumination in comparison to continuous illumination. The combination of a higher specific light absorption together with a lower specific growth rate led to a decrease of the yield of biomass on light energy under intermittent illumination.     

拟南芥PRRs基因在红光和蓝光信号转导中的作用初探

以拟南芥为材料,在红光和蓝光下对PRRs(pseudo-response regulators)突变体prr5p、rr7、prr9和toc1及其野生型的下胚轴表型进行比较观察,并采用实时定量PCR方法对突变体中光信号通路相关基因ZTL(zeitlupe)和CO(constans)的节律表达进行分析.结果表明:在红光下,prr5和toc1的下胚轴长度比野生型显著增长,在蓝光下,prr7p、rr9和toc1较野生型短,表明突变体降低了拟南芥对红光的敏感性,却增强了对蓝光的敏感性.红光和蓝光下,PRRs突变体中ZTL和CO的mRNA节律表达与野生型明显不同,其中红光下prr5和prr7、蓝光下prr5和toc1中的ZTLmRNA的表达显著下降且节律消失;红光下prr7和prr9以及蓝光下prr5突变体中的COmRNA表现基本无节律.因此推测,PRRs与ZTL的相互作用很可能在红光和蓝光信号转导途径中发挥作用,且PRRs基因极有可能参与了红光和蓝光对CO的调控.     

Myosin light chains of guinea-pig striated muscles. Similarities and differences with rat myosin light chains

1. Myosin light chains of guinea-pig striated muscles have been screened by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and compared to rat myosin light chains. 2. The fast type light chains 1F and 3F, slow type light chains 1S and 2S, and embryonic type light chain 1E are shown to differ in the two rodents; only the fast type light chains 2F co-electrophorese on the gel. 3. In guinea-pig, as in rat, ventricle muscle light chains appear the same as the 1S and 2S light chains and atrial light chain type 1 the same as the 1E light chain. We show that this embryonic light chain of guinea-pig myosin is difficult to identify and may be confused with the adult 1F light chain.     

Microalgae cultivation in air-lift reactors: modeling biomass yield and growth rate as a function of mixing frequency

The slow development of microalgal biotechnology stems from the failure in the design of large-scale photobioreactors where light energy is efficiently utilized. Due to the light gradient inside the reactor and depending on the mixing properties, algae are subjected to certain light/dark cycles where the light period is characterized by a light gradient. These light/dark cycles will determine productivity and biomass yield on light energy. Air-lift reactors can be used for microalgae cultivation and medium-frequency light/dark cycles will be found in these systems. Light/dark cycles are associated with two basic parameters: first, the light fraction, i.e., the ratio between the light period and the cycle time and second, the frequency of the light/dark cycle. In the present work, light/dark cycles found in air-lift reactors were simulated taking into account the light gradient during the light period. The effect of medium-frequency cycle time (10-100 s) and light fraction (0.1-1) on growth rate and biomass yield on light energy of the microalgae Dunaliella tertiolecta was studied. The biomass yield and growth rates were mainly affected by the light fraction, while cycle time had little influence. Response surface methodology was used and a statistical model describing the effect of light fraction and cycle time on growth rate and biomass yield on light energy was developed. The use of the model as a reactor design criterion is discussed.     

Red-light and blue-light photoreceptors controlling chlorophyll a synthesis in the red alga Porphyra umbilicalis and in the green alga Ulva rigida

Chlorophyll synthesis is stimulated by red light in the green alga Ulva rigida C. Ag. and in the red alga Porphyra umbilicalis (L.) Kützing. Because the effect of red light showed some far-red reversibility in successive red and far-red light treatments, the involvement of phytochrome or a phytochrome-like photoreceptor is suggested. The extent of the response is dependent on exposure and photon fluence rate of red-light pulses. In addition to the effect of red light, a strong stimulation of chlorophyll synthesis by blue light was only observed in Ulva rigida. The effect of blue light shows also some far-red reversibility. In the green alga the accumulated chlorophyll is higher after blue light pulses than after red light pulses. In Porphyra umbilicalis , however, the contrary is observed. In Ulva rigida the involvement of a blue light photoreceptor in addition to phytochrome or a phytochrome-like photoreceptor is proposed. The different responses to red and blue light in both algae are explained in terms of their adaptation to the natural light environment.
