Subcellular distribution and chemical forms of cadmium in Morus alba L.

Morus alba L. (mulberry) is a perennial woody tree and a species with great potential for Cd phyremediation owing to its large biomass and extensive root system. The mechanisms involved in Cd detoxification were investigated by analyzing the subcellular distribution and chemical forms of Cd in mulberry in the present study. These results indicated that 53.27–70.17% of Cd mulberry accumulated was stored in the root and only about 10% were in the leaves. Lots of the Cd was located in the cell wall of the mulberry root and in soluble fraction of the mulberry leaf. Moreover, in roots, the largest amount of Cd was in the form of undissolved Cd-phosphate. While in mulberry leaves and stems, most of the Cd was extracted by 2% Acetic acid and 0.6 M HCl, representing Cd-phosphate and Cd-oxalate. It could be concluded that the Cd combination with peptides and organo-ligands in vacuole of leaf or complexed with proteins or cellulose in the cell wall of root might be contributed to the tolerance of mulberry to Cd stress. The mulberry could be used to remediate the Cd polluted farmland soils.     

黑藻早期个体发育的研究

对黑藻（Hydrilla verticillata）个体发育中的胚胎发育（从合子到种子胚）和种苗发育（从种子到种苗）进行了研究。发现沉水植物黑藻与挺水植物泽泻（Alisma orientale）在胚柄只有1～2个细胞、种子胚苗端发达根端未分化、萌发后根端始分化、分生区之上产生根环与下胚轴毛、初生根短命等特点上基本相同,并对这些特点进行了讨论。     

Subcellular distribution and chemical forms of antimony in Ficus tikoua

Ficus tikoua (F. tikoua) was a potential species for antimony (Sb) phytoremediation due to its wide growth in the mining area. However, little was known about its tolerance mechanisms toward Sb. The determination of the distribution and chemical speciation of Sb in F. tikoua is essential for understanding the mechanisms involved in Sb accumulation, transportation, and detoxification. The present study investigated the subcellular distribution and chemical forms of Sb in F. tikoua. The plant was exposed to different Sb concentrations (0, 30, 90, and 180 μmol/L) for 30 days. The results showed that F. tikoua possessed a marked ability to tolerate and accumulate Sb. The proportional Sb increased with increasing Sb concentration in the solution, and the highest Sb concentration occurred in roots (1274.5–1580.9 mg/kg), followed by stems (133.5–498.9 mg/kg) and leaves (4.1–15.7 mg/kg). In the subcellular sequestration of Sb in F. tikoua, the largest accumulation of Sb occurred in cell walls (72.4–87.5%) followed by cytoplasmic organelles (8.2–18.6%) and cytoplasmic supernatant. The results suggested that cell walls act as important protective barriers against Sb toxicity in F. tikoua. Although Sb in all plant tissues found primarily in the fractions extracted by ethanol and distilled water, the current study found that the Sb amounts in the HAc-extractable fraction, HCl-extractable fraction, and residue fraction increased at the highest Sb level (180 μmol/L) compared to that under lower Sb levels. These results indicate that excessive Sb accumulated in F. tikoua under Sb stress is bound to non-dissolved or low-bioavailable compounds, a biochemical mechanism that benefits F. tikoua because it helps alleviate Sb toxicity.     

镉在水生植物中的富集与亚细胞分布及其化学形态特征

以7种水生植物(长苞香蒲、水生美人蕉、黑藻、粉绿狐尾藻、花叶芦竹、香根鸢尾、水葫芦)为研究材料,构建生物塘系统,通过差速离心法和五步提取法,提取植物各亚细胞组分和不同化学形态的镉,并用原子吸收分光光度法测定镉含量,分析镉在水生植物体中富集特征,揭示植物对镉的耐性机制。结果表明:(1)水生植物根中镉富集量大于茎和叶;3种类型水生植物富集镉能力表现为沉水植物(粉绿狐尾藻、黑藻)浮水植物(水葫芦)挺水植物(长苞香蒲、水生美人蕉、花叶芦竹、香根鸢尾)。(2)镉在黑藻、水葫芦和花叶芦竹中的亚细胞分布量均呈现为细胞壁可溶组分原生质体线粒体,所占比例分别为37.16%~50.86%、20.69%~31.21%、10.81%~23.83%、8.15%~19.83%。(3)赋存化学形态表现为以氯化钠提取态、醋酸提取态为主,所占比例分别为29.37%~56.27%和15.06%~36.19%。研究发现,粉绿狐尾藻、水葫芦、水生美人蕉和花叶芦竹4种植物为富集镉较好的植物,而黑藻、香根鸢尾和长苞香蒲3种植物的镉富集能力相对较弱;镉主要以果胶酸盐、蛋白质结合态或吸附态存在于植物根的细胞壁和液泡中,以减弱镉对根细胞器和植物地上部分的毒害。     

Subcellular distribution,chemical forms and thiol synthesis involved in cadmium tolerance and detoxification in Siegesbeckia orientalis L.

Siegesbeckia orientalis L. is a promising species for cadmium (Cd) phytoextraction with large biomass and fast growth rate, while little information about their intracellular mechanisms involved in Cd tolerance and detoxification has been explored. A soil pot experiment with total target Cd concentrations of 0, 10, 50, 100, and 150 mg kg^?1 were designed to investigate the subcellular distribution, chemical forms and thiol synthesis characteristics of Cd in S. orientalis. More than 90% of Cd was bound to the soluble fractions (48.4–76.5%) and cell walls (19.9–46.3%). Increasing soil Cd concentrations enhanced Cd sequestration into the cell walls. Most of the Cd (69.8–82.7%) in the plant organ was mainly in the forms of pectate and protein integrated Cd and undissolved Cd phosphate, while a minor portion (6.8–20.9%) was in the forms of the inorganic Cd and the water soluble Cd. Nonprotein thiols and phytochelatins significantly increased with increasing soil Cd treatment levels, while glutathione concentrations had no obvious change trends. Therefore, intracellular detoxification mechanisms of Cd in S. orientalis mainly rely on formation of less toxic Cd chemical forms, store of a large amount of Cd in cell wall and synthesis of thiol compounds.     

黑藻对水体和沉积物理化性质的改善和营养元素的去除作用

通过人工模拟实验,研究了不同种植密度(50、100和150株/ m2)的黑藻(Hydrilla verticillata)对富营养湖泊水体和沉积物理化性质的改善和营养元素的去除作用。结果表明：种植黑藻能显著提高水体溶解氧(DO)和沉积物的氧化还原电位(Eh), DO由3.95mg/L提高到10.42mg/L;沉积物Eh提高了58.6-109.4mV。黑藻的生长有效地降低了水体和沉积物中的氮、磷含量,水体中TP降低了38.9%-57.1%;NH4+-N的含量降低了90.2%; 沉积物中TN的含量比试验前中期降低了70.0%。50、100和150株/ m2 三个种植密度间对水质和沉积物的改善效果差异不明显,说明当单位面积生物量达到一定程度后改善效果也趋于饱和,故在富营养湖泊的植被恢复中种植密度不宜过大。     

Lanthanum- and cerium-induced oxidative stress in submerged Hydrilla verticillata plants

Oxidative stress was induced in 10-day treated with lanthanum and cerium Hydrilla verticillata plants. Low 10 μM concentrations did not exert harmful effects. The plants treated with higher concentrations showed higher H₂O₂ content and lower chlorophyll and soluble protein contents as compared to control plants. At the same time, malondialdehyde content rose with increasing concentrations of La and Ce. As La and Ce concentrations increased, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities declined progressively, while peroxidase activity increased. Proline content decreased slightly at 10 μM La or Ce and then rose with higher concentrations. The results indicated that La and Ce caused oxidative damage as evidenced by increased lipid peroxidation and decreased chlorophyll and protein levels.

水体泥沙对黑藻幼苗生长发育的影响

用粒径小于100μm的泥沙分别配置浊度为30、60NTU和90NTU的浑浊水体,将黑藻(Hydrilla verticillata)幼苗分别种植于上述水体中,水深约60cm,定期统计植株的节间距、株高、分枝数、叶宽、叶长、鲜重和泥沙附着量,利用水下饱和脉冲荧光仪(DIVING-PAM)测定叶片的Fv/Fm,并测定附着泥沙叶片和未附着叶片快速光响应曲线。结果表明,前40d随着水体浊度的增加黑藻植株的节间距、株高呈显著的增加趋势,而分枝数和生物量增长速率呈显著降低趋势。植株生长接近水面后接受的光照强度增加,第60天时株高和叶宽增长受到显著抑制,但植株上层的分枝受到促进,生物量显著增加。同时,随着水体浊度的增加植株上的泥沙附着显著增加,第100天时在30、60NTU和90NTU水体中植株的叶宽分别比对照宽71.4%、57.1%、48.6%,叶长分别为对照的113.0%、85.5%和75.1%,差异极显著(P0.01);在高浊度(60NTU和90NTU)水体中,水体下部生物量显著降低,冠层叶片的Fv/Fm分别仅降低了5.5%(P0.05)、2.9%(P0.05),rETRmax分别降低了2.0%(P0.05)、16.8%(P0.01)。表明在水深较浅的泥沙水体中可以适当引种黑藻幼苗,植株可以正常生长发育。     

芦苇抗镉污染机理研究

研究了芦苇幼苗体内 Cd的积累、亚细胞微区分布、存在形态和其诱导蛋白以及植物络合素合成抑制剂 (BSO)对芦苇光合作用和生长的影响。在 Cd污染条件下 ,芦苇幼苗植株和根皮层细胞中可积累大量的Cd,但 Cd在芦苇各器官和根皮层细胞亚细胞结构中的分布显著不均 ;Cd在芦苇幼苗体内的分配为 :根 >叶片 >茎 >地下茎 ,在根皮层细胞中的分布为 :细胞间隙 >细胞壁 >液泡 >细胞质。受 Cd污染的芦苇幼苗体内的 Cd以不同化学形态存在 ,其中 Na Cl提取态的 Cd在根和叶片中占的比例均为最大 ,其次为根内的醋酸提取态 ;在叶片中以水提取态为主 ,其它形态的含量相对较低。层析结果表明 ,根和叶片中各存在一种Cd结合蛋白 ,其中根内的 Cd结合蛋白可能是一种植物络合素聚合体。受 Cd诱导 ,芦苇幼苗根中还新合成了一种小分子蛋白或多肽 ,但另有一种蛋白因 Cd影响而消失。此外 ,BSO实验证明了植物络合素对 Cd的解毒作用。可见 ,芦苇的抗 Cd机理与以下几个方面有关 :根部截留 ,细胞间隙积累 ,细胞壁沉淀 ,液泡区域化 ,形成活性较低的难溶化合物 ,形成 Cd结合蛋白     

不同浓度氨氮对轮叶黑藻的生理影响

在实验室条件下,比较研究了不同浓度（0.5、1、2、4、8、16mg/L）的氨氮（NH4＋-N）对沉水植物黑藻（Hydrilla verticillata）的生理生化影响,测定了黑藻生物量、叶绿素、可溶性糖、蛋白质含量和过氧化物酶（POD）、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、谷氨酰氨合成酶（GS）的活性变化。实验结果表明低浓度的氨氮（0.5、1、2mg/L）对轮叶黑藻的生长稍有促进作用,但培养液中氨氮浓度超过4mg/L时,黑藻的相对生长率（R）明显下降,当浓度达到16mg/L时,黑藻在20多天内全部死亡。在低浓度氨氮条件下,黑藻叶绿素和可溶性糖含量随氨氮浓度增加呈上升趋势,当培养液中氨氮浓度超过4mg/L时,叶绿素和可溶性糖含量在第24、32、40天取样时较对照组明显降低。低浓度氨氮处理组（0.5、1、2mg/L）的蛋白质含量先下降后又上升,而对照组的蛋白质含量一直在上升,高浓度氨氮处理组（8、16mg/L）的蛋白质含量则呈明显下降趋势。POD、SOD和GS活性变化趋势基本一致,在高浓度氨氮条件下增加显著,并表现为先上升再下降的格局,在第16天或第24天达到最大值。研究结果提示在富营养化条件下氨氮氨氮条件下增加显著,并表现为先上升再下降的格局,在第16天或第24天达到最大值。研究结果提示在富营养化条件下氨氮浓度的升高将影响其生理功能,过高浓度的氨氮对轮叶黑藻是一种逆境胁迫,可抑制其生长甚至导致植物死亡。轮叶黑藻对氨氮浓度变化虽有一定耐性,但耐性会随时间延长而变弱。     

控制性分根区交替滴灌对苹果幼树形态特征与根系水分传导的影响

采用固定滴灌(根区一侧固定供水)、控制性分根区交替滴灌(根区两侧交替供水)和常规滴灌(紧贴幼树基部供水)3种灌水方式和3种灌水定额(固定滴灌和交替滴灌均为10、20和30 mm,常规滴灌为20、30和40 mm),对比研究了控制性分根区交替滴灌对苹果幼树形态特征与根系水分传导的影响.结果表明： 交替滴灌的根区两侧土壤出现反复干湿交替过程,常规滴灌的根区两侧土壤含水率差异不显著.在灌水定额相同时,灌水侧的土壤含水率在3种灌水方式间差异不显著.与常规滴灌和固定滴灌相比,交替滴灌显著增加了苹果幼树的根冠比、壮苗指数和根系水分传导,在30 mm灌水定额处理下,交替滴灌的根冠比分别增加31.6%和47.1%,壮苗指数增加34.2%和53.6%,根系水分传导增加9.0%和11.0%.3种灌水方式下,根干质量和叶面积均与根系水分传导呈显著线性正相关.控制性分根区交替滴灌增强了苹果幼树根系水分传导的补偿效应,促进了根系对水分的吸收利用,有利于干物质向各个器官均衡分配,显著提高了根冠比和壮苗指数.     

水体悬浮泥沙对黑藻生长和叶绿素荧光特性的影响

利用粒径小于100 μm的泥沙调制水体浊度分别维持在30、60和90 NTU,将黑藻幼苗种植于上述水体中,定期测定植株的分枝长、分枝数和鲜质量,利用水下饱和脉冲荧光仪（DIVING-PAM）测定叶片在光化光下的荧光参数.结果表明：随着泥沙含量的增加,植株分枝数受到明显抑制,生物量逐渐降低,而分枝长则呈显著增加趋势;随着试验时间的延长,浑浊水体中光化学最大量子产量（F_v/F_m）值呈明显〖JP2〗降低趋势,但显著高于对照.在17 μmol·m^-2·s^-1光化光照射下,与第30天相比,第60天时30、60和90 NTU组植株叶片的有效荧光产量（△F_v′/F_m ′）分别增加了48.9%、36.8%和17.2%（P<0.01）,相对光合电子传递速率（rETR）分别增加了56.7%、42.2%和21.4%（P<0.01）;而在104 μmol·m^-2·s^-1光化光照射下,第60天时植株的△F_v′/F_m′、光化学淬灭系数（q_P）和rETR显著降低,且热耗散能力（q_N）也显著降低,表明黑藻植株适应低光环境, 且在高光强条件下黑藻叶片易受到光伤害.可引种黑藻幼苗于混浊的浅水水体中.     

两种生态型香根草对镉的耐受和积累特性比较

以Monto和Veriveria nermorlis两种生态型香根草［Chrysopogon zizanioides (L.) Roberty］为材料,采用室内水培试验,在不同浓度(0、200、800、2 000 μmol·L^-1)硝酸镉溶液处理7 d后,比较、分析两类型香根草的叶片生长状况、叶绿素荧光参数、镉的积累、亚细胞分布和化学形态分布等指标的差异,明确两类香根草对镉的耐受能力和积累特性。结果表明,(1)在中度(800 μmol·L^-1)和重度(2 000 μmol·L^-1)镉胁迫条件下,Monto的叶片生长状况优于Veriveria nermorlis,其F_m、F_v/F_m和F_v/F_o等叶绿素荧光参数显著高于Veriveria nermorlis,而其叶片、根部镉含量、富集系数和镉转移系数则显著低于Veriveria nermorlis。(2)镉主要分布在香根草根和叶细胞壁组分和可溶性组分中,两者镉含量占比之和达95%以上;对于两种生态型香根草的叶片和Monto的根部而言,细胞壁组分和可溶组分镉占比随着镉胁迫浓度增加分别呈增加和下降趋势,但两参数在Veriveria nermorlis根中的变化趋势则相反;Monto叶中细胞壁组分的镉占比要高于Veriveria nermorlis。(3)镉的化学形态分布分析显示,两种生态型香根草叶片中以氯化钠提取态镉为主,而根中以乙醇提取态和氯化钠提取态镉为主;Monto根中乙醇提取态的镉含量占比远大于Veriveria nermorlis。研究发现,Monto香根草的镉耐受能力较强,主要因为其根、叶中的镉积累量、镉富集系数和转移系数均低于Veriveria nermorlis,且Monto叶片中细胞壁组分的镉占比和根中乙醇提取态镉的占比更高。

该研究运用差速离心法和化学试剂逐步提取法,分析了重金属铅在紫茎泽兰亚细胞内的分布和主要化学形态。结果表明:随着Pb浓度的升高,紫茎泽兰的叶、根、茎中各亚细胞组分Pb含量逐渐增加;紫茎泽兰中的Pb在叶片分布于可溶性部分和细胞壁中,两者占总量的75.34%~84.63%;茎也主要分布于可溶性部分和细胞壁中,占总量的36.10%~57.14%和20.07%~36.52%;而在根中则富集于细胞壁和可溶性部分,分别占39.2%~49.78%和28.27%~37.62%,其他细胞器中的Pb含量均较少。紫茎泽兰叶中的Pb以盐酸提取态和水提取态为主,两者占总量的58.74%~73.04%;茎中的Pb以醋酸提取态和氯化钠提取态为主;而根中的Pb则以醋酸提取态和盐酸提取态占优势,两者占总量的39.15%~52.91%。     

温度和光照对黑藻生长及净化污水效果的影响

研究温度和光照对黑藻(Hydrilla verticillata(Linn.f.)Royle)生长和净化污水效果的影响。结果表明在35℃、25℃的培养中黑藻生长旺盛,经过15d的培养,植株生物量显著高于5℃的处理(P0.05),对总氮(TN)的去除率达到78%,对总磷(TP)的去除率达到98%;在15℃中黑藻生长较慢,对污水的净化效果有所下降,但对TN和TP的去除率仍达到76%和82%;在5℃的培养中黑藻的生长受到抑制,对TN和TP的去除率都仅为46%,显著低于15、25℃和35℃的处理(P0.05)。在较高光照强度(2000—4000lx)的培养中黑藻的生长和对污染物的去除率无显著差异,而在较低光照强度(1000lx)下,黑藻生长量和对TN和氨态氮(NH4-N)的去除率显著降低(P0.05)。     

汞,镉污染对黑藻叶细胞伤害的超微结构研究

黑藻（Ｈｙｄｒｉｌｌａ ｖｅｒｔｉｅｉｌｌａｎ（Ｌ．ｆ．）Ｒｏｙｌｅ）植株分别在Ｈｇ＾２＋、Ｃｄ＾２＋梯度浓度的污染水中培养,在培养的时间段中（Ｈｇ＾２＋为３ｘｄ,Ｇｄ＾２＋为６ｄ）,随着浓度的递增,叶片逐渐出现均匀退绿症状。电镜观察发现,叶细胞遭受Ｈｇ＾２＋、Ｃｄ＾２＋毒害初期,高尔基体消失,内质网膨胀后解体,叶绿体中的类囊体和线粒体中的脊突胀成呈囊泡状,核中染色质涕 集。随着叶细胞遭受毒害程度
