缺磷条件下不同磷效率水稻品种光合特性和细胞保护酶活性

以6个不同磷吸收效率粳稻品种为材料,研究了缺磷条件下各种磷效率类型水稻品种的光合特性和细胞保护酶活性.结果表明:缺磷条件下,随着植株生长进程,不同磷效率水稻品种的光合速率(Pn)和可溶性蛋白质含量(pro)均不断下降;与丰磷处理相比,缺磷处理各测定时期的Pn和pro均有所降低.不同磷效率水稻品种中,磷高效品种的Pn(10.06～10.83μmolCO2.m-2.s-1)、叶绿素含量(3.32～3.56mg.g-1FM)和pro(33.08～33.95mg.g-1FM)最高,磷中效品种次之,磷低效品种最低;不同品种的气孔导度(Gs)差异不明显.随着磷胁迫时间的延长,各品种的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性降低,表现为磷高效品种>中效品种>低效品种;各品种丙二醛含量的变化趋势与SOD活性相反;而过氧化物酶(POD)活性的变化规律不明显.因此,缺磷条件下,较高的SOD活性和较低的细胞膜脂过氧化程度在改善磷高效品种的光合生理功能中具有重要作用.     

去除氯化钠胁迫后的蓝藻固氮去铵阻抑

蓝藻在去除NaCl胁迫后,其固氮活性可以恢复,几乎接近生长蓝藻的水平,铵阻抑效应也逐渐消失。光合受抑(弱光下和加抑制剂)或呼吸代谢受阻(厌氧下),以致能源供应受限以及有分子氯或氧的条件下,蓝藻固氮活性恢复和去铵阻抑速率减慢,而改善能源或还原剂供应、外源蔗糖、H_2、CO_2、CO_2+N_2和H_2+O_2等处理则对去铵阻抑有不同程度促进。     

过氧化氢对镉胁迫下水稻种子萌发的缓解效应

为了探讨外源H_2O_2对镉胁迫下水稻种子萌发受抑的缓解作用,以水稻品种‘中优169’为材料,通过培养皿滤纸发芽法,研究不同浓度H_2O_2对200μmol·L~(-1)镉胁迫下水稻种子萌发、幼苗生长及相关生理指标的影响。结果表明,在200μmol·L~(-1)镉胁迫下,水稻种子的萌发和幼苗生长表现出明显的抑制现象,发芽势、发芽指数、活力指数及幼苗的根长、芽长和可溶性蛋白含量均显著降低,MDA含量显著增加,POD活性上升,SOD、APX及CAT的活性显著受到抑制。较低浓度(≤10μmol·L~(-1))H_2O_2处理能不同程度地增加幼苗的根长、芽长、根鲜重和芽鲜重,提高镉胁迫下水稻种子的发芽指数和活力指数,增强SOD、POD和APX活性并降低MDA含量,从而缓解镉的毒害效应。其中5μmol·L~(-1) H_2O_2浸种处理对镉胁迫下水稻种子萌发和幼苗生长的缓解作用最好。高H_2O_2浓度对镉胁迫的缓解作用逐渐减弱,当H_2O_2浓度达到50μmol·L~(-1)时,会加重镉胁迫的毒性。表明适宜浓度的H_2O_2可以提高水稻幼苗抗氧化能力,缓解镉胁迫伤害。     

干旱胁迫对菜苔叶片保护酶活性和膜脂过氧化的影响

以3个不同耐旱性的菜苔（Brassica parachinensis L.H.Bailey）品种为试材,研究了干旱胁迫对叶片保护酶活性和膜脂过氧化的影响及其与抗旱性的关系。干旱胁迫条件下,菜苔叶片的电解质外渗率和MDA含量呈上升趋势,叶绿素含量、抗坏血酸含量和SOD活性呈下降趋势,CAT活性表现为先上升后下降。耐旱品种比不耐旱品种具有较高的叶绿素含量和抗坏血酸含量,具有较低的电解质外渗率和MDA含量;耐旱品种的SOD活性比不耐旱品种下降幅度小。轻度干旱胁迫下,耐旱品种的CAT活性上升幅度比不耐旱品种高;重度干旱胁迫下耐旱品种的CAT活性下降程度比不耐旱品种低。耐旱品种的POD活性在干旱条件下先上升而后降低,不耐品种的POD活性处于下降趋势。干旱6d后,耐旱品种的SOD、CAT和POD活性显著高于不耐旱品种。     

水稻耐光氧化和耐荫特性的生理基础

用简易、有效的人工光氧化和遮荫技术对30个水稻(Oryza sativa L.)种质进行筛选,鉴定出既耐光氧化又耐荫、耐光氧化不耐荫、耐荫不耐光氧化、既不耐荫又不耐光氧化等4种品种类型,并用既耐光氧化又耐荫的品种"武育粳3号"和对光氧化和遮荫均敏感的品种"香籼"进行光合特性研究.结果表明:在遮荫条件下,与对光氧化和遮荫敏感的品种"香籼"比较,"武育粳3号"的PSⅡ活性差异不大,RuBisCO活性降低较少,光合能力、光合生产力较高.在光抑制条件下,"武育粳3号"的PSⅡ活性,PSⅡ光化学效率(Fv/Fm),PSⅡ-D1蛋白含量降低较少,光合作用光抑制较轻.在光氧化条件下,内源活性氧清除剂SOD诱导活性高,清除O-能力强,因而叶绿素衰减较慢.上述研究为水稻育种提供了配套的优良生理特性的鉴定技术和生理依据.     

干旱胁迫下桑树叶片中超氧阴离子的变化规律

该研究以6个四川桑树品种为对象,对供试桑树品种进行连续的人工干旱处理,利用生理方法明确保护酶系(SOD)的变化规律,并采用硝基四氮唑蓝(NBT)还原试验进行超氧阴离子O_2~-·组织化学的可视化检测。结果表明:随着干旱胁迫的加剧,SOD的含量明显高于对照组,其中SOD活性呈先升后降的变化趋势,而超氧阴离子一直呈加重的趋势。6个桑树品种的SOD含量从正常到中度胁迫都呈现不同程度的上升趋势,上升趋势明显的品种是九龙拐和湖桑32,上幅分别为62.7%和60.1%,其次是云桑1号和荷叶白一号上幅,分别为52.2%、58.2%,油桑和充桑的上幅为50.8%和47.4%,说明SOD正发挥着积极的作用。在中度胁迫之后SOD的含量与活性氧的水平表现出相反的趋势,原因可能是随着干旱胁迫的加剧,O_2~-·达到最大值且超出一定域值,从而导致SOD活性的降低。通过电镜观察发现,超氧阴离子由叶脉向周围扩散,同时面积逐渐增大。其中,抗旱性强的品种湖桑32叶片表面茸毛比较长,且基部膨大,端部有明显的刺状突起,而抗旱性弱的品种荷叶白1号叶片表面茸毛比较细短且端部的刺状突起不明显,因此推测叶片表面茸毛的特性与抗旱性存在一定关系。     

旱后复水对不同倍性小麦光合及抗氧化特性的影响

利用盆栽控水试验方法,在干旱和复水条件下,于拔节期对不同倍性小麦叶片的光合参数以及抗氧化指标进行测定.结果表明:(1)与干旱处理相比,拔节期恢复供水可使受旱小麦叶片的光合参数增大,叶水势、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性、细胞膜透性以及质膜过氧化程度都有所降低,其中净光合速率(Pn)和蒸腾速率(Tr)的增加超过对照,叶水势和细胞膜透性的降低也超过对照,产生了生理补偿效应;(2)旱后复水条件下,叶水势很快恢复到正常水平,Pn显著提高且高于正常对照水平,其中野生一粒和小偃6号,在干旱条件下,SOD酶活性高,具有较强的活性氧清除能力,复水后,MDA的积累减少,膜透性迅速恢复,抗氧化系统更好地保护和修复了光合机制,表现出较强的光合优势.     

小麦白粉病菌对小麦幼苗光合生理特性的影响

为探讨小麦白粉病菌对不同抗性小麦品种幼苗光合生理特性的影响,本研究采用白粉病强致病力生理小种E09感染高抗小麦白粉病品种青春38、高感小麦白粉病品种龙麦33幼苗,研究接菌后0 d、1 d、2 d、4 d、6 d、8 d、10 d小麦叶片总叶绿素含量、光合速率(Pn)、叶片可溶性蛋白、叶片细胞内超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、过氧化物酶(POD)活性的变化。研究数据表明,接种小麦白粉病菌后,两小麦品种青春38和龙麦33的体内相对叶绿素含量、光合速率及可溶性蛋白含量均不同程度的降低,且感病品种龙麦33降低幅度较抗病品种青春38高。接菌后,两个品种的相对SOD、POD及CAT活性均表现为先升高后降低的变化趋势,相对SOD活性表现为感病品种龙麦33的峰值高于抗病品种青春38的峰值;相对POD活性则是抗病品种青春38的增加幅度极显著高于感病品种龙麦33的增加幅度;相对CAT活性则表现为两品种出现峰值的时间不同,但峰值幅度差异不显著。     

生理高温对佛州侧耳超氧物歧化酶的影响*

佛州侧耳(PleurotusfloridanusSinger)子实体在生理高温(32±l℃)条件下,O2吸收速率和超氧阴离子(O2-)产生的速率增加;脂质过氧化产物丙二醛(MDA)的积累增多.超氧物歧化酶(SOD)活性升高;过氧化氢酶(CAT)和过氧化物酶(POD)的活性相应地发生变化;放线菌素D抑制生理高温下SOD活性的升高;O2-清除剂甘露醇和外源SOD都影响生理高温对SOD的诱导效应;表明该侧耳在生理高温条件下SOD酶活性激应性的升高是O2-参与了SOD基因表达的调控,促进酶蛋白的合成.     

渗透胁迫对花生幼叶细胞性氧伤害的定量分析

在渗透胁迫条件下不同花生（Arachis hypogaea Linn．）品种的水势、质膜相对透性（RPMP）、超氧离子、丙二醛（MDA）含量和超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性两两之间都呈显著相关。而花生各品种的过氧化氢酶活性、过氧化物酶活性、谷胱甘肽含量和抗坏血酸含量与水势、RPMP、超氧离子、MDA含量和SOD活性等指标之间相关程度波动较大。水势对RPMP、MDA含量、超氧离子和SOD活性的弹性系数处于负效应阶段。SOD活性对RPMP、MDA含量和超氧离了的弹性系数的效应处于递减阶段。超氧离了对RPMP和MDA含量的生系数的效应处于递减阶段。各指标的弹性系数和相应的边际量因花生品种的抗旱能力不同而异。     

碳酸酐酶在中肋骨条藻光合作用中的作用

探讨了在正常空气条件下生长的中肋骨条藻(Skeletonema costatum)的碳酸酐酶(CA)在其光合固碳中的作用.在中肋骨条藻的胞内和胞外均有CA活性,但胞外CA活性很低.CA抑制剂AZ(乙酰唑磺胺)对中肋骨条藻的光合放氧速率没有明显影响,而CA抑制剂EZ(乙氧苯唑胺)对其光合放氧速率有强烈的抑制作用.EZ的抑制作用使细胞最大光合速率、饱和光强和无机碳亲和力下降,无机碳的补偿点和光呼吸提高,使强光下光抑制作用增强.这些结果表明:中肋骨条藻的胞外CA在其光合作用中所起的作用较小,而其胞内CA通过催化胞内碳库中的HCO-3快速转化成CO2,提高胞内CO2的有效供给,从而提高细胞光合固碳能力和对逆境(高O2、强光和低CO2)的适应能力.     

蓝藻Anabaena7120的固氮活力及其和光合作用的关系

蓝藻Anabaena 7120经用Ar+CO_2、空气和Ar处理后,固氮活性有明显不同。Ar+CO_2处理的活性比空气处理的高出数倍,而Ar处理的则比空气中的低很多。以上三种处理的Anabaena 7120固氮对不同生理条件反应不一样,固氮活性高者对CO和O_2的敏感程度小些、受到CO_2和N_2的抑制程度也轻。但是分子氢对三者固氮作用的支持效用相同,并且也是和氢酶活动有联系。弱光下固氮活力低的蓝藻固氮活性下降得更大些。光合抑制剂和结合态氮对固氮活力高的蓝藻固氮活性的抑制显著比固氮活力低者小。三者的放氢和放氧能力也不同,固氮活力高者放氧高而放氢量小些,低固氮活力的蓝藻正好相反。     

THE ROLE OF REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES IN COPPER TOXICITY TO TWO FRESHWATER GREEN ALGAE1

The role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in copper (Cu) toxicity to two freshwater green algal species, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (Korshikov) Hindák and Chlorella vulgaris Beij., was assessed to gain a better mechanistic understanding of this toxicity. Cu‐induced formation of ROS was investigated in the two algal species and linked to short‐term effects on photosynthetic activity and to long‐term effects on cell growth. A light‐ and time‐dependent increase in ROS concentrations was observed upon exposure to environmentally relevant Cu concentrations of 50 and 250 nM and was comparable in both algal species. However, effects of 250 nM Cu on photosynthesis were different, leading to a 12% reduction in photosynthetic activity in P. subcapitata, but not in C. vulgaris. These results indicate that differences in species‐specific sensitivities measured as photosynthetic activity were not caused by differences in the cellular ROS content of the algae, but probably by different species‐specific ROS defense systems. To investigate the role of ROS in Cu‐mediated inhibition of photosynthesis, the ROS scavenger N‐tert‐butyl‐α‐phenylnitrone (BPN) was used, resulting in a reduction of Cu‐induced ROS production up to control level and a complete restoration of photosynthetic activity of Cu‐exposed P. subcapitata. This finding implied that ROS play a primary role in Cu toxicity to algae. Furthermore, we observed a time‐dependent ROS release process across the plasma membrane. More than 90% of total ROS were determined to be extracellular in P. subcapitata, indicating an efficient method of cellular protection against oxidative stress.     

Photoinhibition and Photooxidation in Leaves of indica and  japonica Rice Under Different Temperatures and Light Intensities

Physiological indices related to the efficiency （ Fv/Fm ） of light energy conversion in PSⅡ and the peroxidation of membrane lipid were measured in leaves of Oryza sativa L. sp. indica rice cv. “Shanyou 63” and sp. japonica rice cv. “9516” under different temperatures and light intensities for 4 days. No changes in Fv/Fm and membrane lipid peroxidation product (MDA) were observed, so neither photoinhibition nor photooxidation happened in both rice cultivars under moderate temperature and medium light intensity. However, Fv/Fm dropped obviously with no change in MDA contents, and photoinhibition appeared in indica rice cv. “Shanyou 63” under medium temperature and strong light intensity. Furthermore, both photoinhibition and photooxidation were observed in two rice cultivars under chilling temperature and strong light intensity. Experiments with inhibitors under chilling temperature and strong light intensity showed that indica rice had a decrease in D1 protein content and SOD activity, and the extent of inhibition of xanthophyll cycle and nonphotochemical quenching ( qN ) was larger, and a higher level of MDA was observed. The photoinhibition and photooxidation in indica rice were more distinct as compared with japonica rice. The authors suggested that PSⅡ light energy conversion efficiency ( Fv/Fm ) and membrane lipid peroxidation were the key indices for the detection of photooxidation.     

光下无CO_2气体处理对叶片光合强度的影响

小麦等C_3植物的叶片在光下经无CO_2或低CO_2气体处理后,通入高CO_2气体,光合强度出现“升、降、升”的波动,而玉米等C_4植物无此现象。不同植物的光合波动幅度不同。强光、高CO_2、低O_2等能缩短第一次光合上升时间,增大光合下降幅度;而低CO_2、高O_2等则减少光合下降幅度。此现象与RuBP及ATP的含量变化有关。     

Rubisco activase is a key regulator of non-steady-state photosynthesis at any leaf temperature and, to a lesser extent, of steady-state photosynthesis at high temperature

The role of Rubisco activase in steady-state and non-steady-state photosynthesis was analyzed in wild-type (Oryza sativa) and transgenic rice that expressed different amounts of Rubisco activase. Below 25°C, the Rubisco activation state and steady-state photosynthesis were only affected when Rubisco activase was reduced by more than 70%. However, at 40°C, smaller reductions in Rubisco activase content were linked to a reduced Rubisco activation state and steady-state photosynthesis. As a result, overexpression of maize Rubisco activase in rice did not lead to an increase of the Rubisco activation state, nor to an increase in photosynthetic rate below 25°C, but had a small stimulatory effect at 40°C. On the other hand, the rate at which photosynthesis approached the steady state following an increase in light intensity was rapid in Rubisco activase-overexpressing plants, intermediate in the wild-type, and slowest in antisense plants at any leaf temperature. In Rubisco activase-overexpressing plants, Rubisco activation state at low light was maintained at higher levels than in the wild-type. Thus, rapid regulation by Rubisco activase following an increase in light intensity and/or maintenance of a high Rubisco activation state at low light would result in a rapid increase in Rubisco activation state and photosynthetic rate following an increase in light intensity. It is concluded that Rubisco activase plays an important role in the regulation of non-steady-state photosynthesis at any leaf temperature and, to a lesser extent, of steady-state photosynthesis at high temperature.     

Photosynthetic and growth responses of two mustard cultivars differing in phytocystatin activity under cadmium stress

Cadmium inhibits photosynthetic capacity of plants by disturbing protein conformations, whereas phytocystatins prevent degradation of target proteins and are involved in abiotic stress tolerance. Two mustard (Brassica juncea L.) cultivars, Ro Agro 4001 and Amruta, were grown with Cd (50 µM) in order to study physiological and biochemical basis of differences in Cd tolerance. Amruta accumulated higher Cd and H₂O₂ concentrations in leaves than that of Ro Agro 4001. Cd significantly decreased photosynthesis and growth of plants in both cultivars by reducing a chlorophyll content, gas exchange parameters, and activity of Rubisco; the effects were more prominent in Amruta than those in Ro Agro 4001. The greater photosynthesis and growth of Ro Agro 4001 under Cd stress might be attributed to its higher phytocystatin activity together with greater ascorbate peroxidase activity, photosynthetic nitrogen-use efficiency, sulphur assimilation (ATP-sulphurylase activity and S content), and contents of cysteine and reduced glutathione compared to Amruta. In contrast, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was higher in Amruta than that of Ro Agro 4001 under control conditions, whereas the Cd treatment increased significantly the SOD activity in both cultivars with the greater increase in Ro Agro 4001. The fluorescence spectra of phytocystatin showed a lesser change in Ro Agro 4001 under Cd stress than that in Amruta suggesting higher resistance of Ro Agro 4001 to Cd. The higher phytocystatin activity under Cd stress in Ro Agro 4001 compared to Amruta enabled the plants to protect their proteins more efficiently. This resulted in a greater increase of photosynthetic capacity in Ro Agro 4001 than that of Amruta. Thus, the phytocystatin activity may be considered as a physiological parameter for augmenting photosynthesis and growth of mustard under Cd stress.     

Effects of a Short-Term Shift to Low Temperature and of Long-Term Cold Hardening on Photosynthesis and Ribulose-1,5-Bisphosphate Carboxylase/Oxygenase and Sucrose Phosphate Synthase Activity in Leaves of Winter Rye (Secale cereale L.)

The effect of a short-term (hours) shift to low temperature (5[deg]C) and long-term (months) cold hardening on photosynthesis and carbon metabolism was studied in winter rye (Secale cereale L. cv Musketeer). Cold-hardened plants grown at 5[deg]C exhibited 25% higher in situ CO2 exchange rates than nonhardened plants grown at 24[deg]C. Cold-hardened plants maintained these high rates throughout the day, in contrast to nonhardened plants, which showed a gradual decline in photosynthesis after 3 h. Associated with the increase in photosynthetic capacity following cold hardening was an increase in ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase and sucrose phosphate synthase activity and 3- to 4-fold increases in the pools of associated metabolites. Leaves of nonhardened plants shifted overnight to 5[deg]C required 9 h in the light at 5[deg]C before maximum rates of photosynthesis were reached. The gradual increase in photosynthesis in leaves shifted to 5[deg]C was correlated with a sharp decline in the 3-phosphoglycerate/triose phosphate ratio and by an increase in the ribulose bisphosphate/3-phosphoglycerate ratio, indicating the gradual easing of aninorganic phosphate-mediated feedback inhibition on photo-synthesis. We suggest that the strong recovery of photosynthesis in winter rye following cold hardening indicates that the buildup of photosynthetic enzymes, as well as those involved in sucrose synthesis, is an adaptive response that enables these plants to maximize the production of sugars that have both cryoprotective and storage functions that are critical to the performance of these cultivars during over-wintering.     

Different drought-stress responses in photosynthesis and reactive oxygen metabolism between autotetraploid and diploid rice

Photosynthetic light curve, chlorophyll (Chl) content, Chl fluorescence parameters, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) activity and reactive oxygen metabolism were studied under drought stress in two autotetraploid rice lines and corresponding diploid rice lines. Net photosynthetic rate decreased dramatically, especially under severe drought stress and under high photosynthetic active radiation in diploid rice, while it declined less under the same conditions in autotetraploid lines. Compared with the corresponding diploid lines, the Chl content, maximum photochemical efficiency of photosystem (PS) II, and actual photochemical efficiency of PSII were reduced less in autotetraploid lines. PEPC activities were higher in autotetraploid rice lines. PEPC could alleviate inhibition of photosynthesis caused by drought stress. The chromosome-doubling enhanced rice photoinhibition tolerance under drought stress. The lower MDA content and superoxide anion production rate was found in the autotetraploid rice indicating low peroxidation level of cell membranes. At the same time, the superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) activities were higher in autotetraploid rice lines. SOD, POD, and CAT could effectively diminish the reactive oxygen species and reduced the membrane lipid peroxidation.     

光照强度、温度、pH、盐度对小球藻（Chlorella）光合作用的影响

利用测定净光合放氧速率的方法研究了光照强度、温度、pH、盐度对小球藻（Chlorella sp.XQ-200419）和海洋小球藻（Chlorella marina NJ-016）光合作用的影响。小球藻（Chlorella sp.XQ-200419）的适宜光照强度范围为100～〉1600μmo·lm-2·s-1,光饱和点在500μmo·lm-2·s-1附近;适宜温度范围为25～42.5℃,最适温度为37.5℃;适宜pH值范围为6.5～9.0,最适pH值为7.0;对盐度的适应范围较广,在0～0.6mol/L范围内,随着盐度的升高,净光合放氧速率有下降趋势。海洋小球藻（Chlorella marina NJ-016）的适宜光照强度范围为400～〉1600μmol·m-2·s-1,光饱和点在1400μmo·lm-2.s-1附近;适宜温度范围为25～42.5℃,最适温度为37.5℃;适宜pH值范围为5.0～9.0,最适pH值为8.0;对盐度有很好的适应性,在0～0.6mol/L范围内,随着盐度升高,净光合放氧速率明显上升。小球藻和海洋小球藻的净光合放氧速率随光照强度、温度、pH值和盐度变化的规律,表明了两种小球藻的基本生理生态学特性：能适应较强的光照强度、较高的温度、中性偏碱的环境和较高的盐度。研究结果有助于小球藻培养条件的优化。两种小球藻对光照强度、温度、pH值和盐度变化的反应也有所不同：与小球藻（Chlorella sp.XQ-200419）相比,海洋小球藻（Chlorella marina NJ-016）对光照强度有更好的适应性,对pH值变化有更宽的适应范围,适当提高盐度对其光合作用有明显的促进作用。这表明海洋小球藻（Chlorella marina NJ-016）在快速生长繁殖方面具有更大的潜力,这一研究结果为筛选适合于大量培养的优良藻种提供了依据。
