The beneficial effect of low doses of ozone on wound healing has been well documented and attributed mainly to its bactericidal and pro-oxidant properties. Because ozone itself does not penetrate the cells but immediately reacts with polyunsaturated fatty acids, its effects are the results of oxidative mediators. Among the molecule produces by the interaction of ozone with biological systems, there are HNE and H2O2. At today, the cellular mechanisms accounting for the positive effects of mild ozonization on wound closure are still largely unexplored. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of different non-toxic doses of ozonated saline ranging from 2 to 300?μM, in an in vitro wound scratch model by the use of human keratinocytes. The results showed that ozonated saline is able to improve in vitro wound healing by stimulating cell proliferation as measured by BrdU assay and PCNA protein levels. In order to better elucidate the molecules that play the main role in the beneficial effect of ozonated saline in wound healing, HNE and H2O2 were used alone or in combination to mimic ozonated saline effect. Surprisingly, keratinocytes treated with different doses of HNE and H2O2 did not significantly improve the wound closure, while the combination of the two compounds was able to improve wound closure. In addition, Nrf2 pathways were also activated as determined by its translocation to the nucleus and the increased HO1 gene expression. The present work suggests that ozonated saline effect on wound closure is the results of the combination of more molecules among which HNE and H2O2 play a key role.  相似文献

Lipid peroxide (LPO) formation was remarkable when isolatedtobacco chloroplasts were bubbled with high concentrations ofozone, though the fatty acid composition and the fractionationpattern of glycolipids and phospholipids in the chloroplastlipids changed little after ozone fumigation of the leaves.Piperonyl butoxide (PB), a potent protectant against ozone injury,strongly inhibited LPO formation in ozonated chloroplasts. PBalso prevented ozone-induced decreases in the amounts of linolenicand linoleic acids in the chloroplast lipids. These resultssuggest that PB inhibition of LPO formation may be involvedin the protective mechanism against ozone phytotoxicity. However,the mode of PB action differed on some points from that of diphenylamine,which is an antioxidant and also effective against ozone injury.The mode of PB action is discussed. 1 Present address: The Central Research Institute, Japan Tobacco& Salt Public Corporation, Umegaoka, Midori-ku, Yokohama227, Japan.

LDL particles that enter the arterial intima become exposed to proteolytic and lipolytic modifications. The extracellular hydrolases potentially involved in LDL modification include proteolytic enzymes, such as chymase, cathepsin S, and plasmin, and phospholipolytic enzymes, such as secretory phospholipases A2 (sPLA2-IIa and sPLA2-V) and secretory acid sphingomyelinase (sSMase). Here, LDL was first proteolyzed and then subjected to lipolysis, after which the effects of combined proteolysis and lipolysis on LDL fusion and on binding to human aortic proteoglycans (PG) were studied. Chymase and cathepsin S led to more extensive proteolysis and release of peptide fragments from LDL than did plasmin. sPLA2-IIa was not able to hydrolyze unmodified LDL, and even preproteolysis of LDL particles failed to enhance lipolysis by this enzyme. However, preproteolysis with chymase and cathepsin S accelerated lipolysis by sPLA2-V and sSMase, which resulted in enhanced fusion and proteoglycan binding of the preproteolyzed LDL particles. Taken together, the results revealed that proteolysis sensitizes the LDL particles to hydrolysis by sPLA2-V and sSMase. By promoting fusion and binding of LDL to human aortic proteoglycans, the combination of proteolysis and phospholipolysis of LDL particles potentially enhances extracellular accumulation of LDL-derived lipids during atherogenesis.  相似文献

We report that the burst of oxygen consumption, as well as the resultant production of O2?? and H2O2, occurring in activated human polymorphonuclear leukocytes is inhibited by various compounds which have in common the ability to antagonize the effects of proteolytic enzymes. This effect of protease inhibitors was observed with a variety of stimuli, both phagocytic and non-phagocytic, used to activate O2?? production in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Inhibition was also noted in rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes and alveolar macrophages. The results indicate that proteolysis may be involved in activating the burst of oxygen consumption following stimulation of phagocytic cells.  相似文献

Proteolytic enzymes were characterized in the midgut and the excreta of the stable fly Stomoxys calcitrans (L) with proteins, synthetic substrates, and inhibitors. Inhibition studies suggested trypsinlike activity in sugar-fed fly midguts, whereas excreta and blood-fed fly guts exhibited other proteases. Trypsinlike activity in midguts removed 20 and 30 h after a blood meal increased from 20% to 50% of the total proteolytic enzymes present. Trypsinlike activity was inhibited with human sera, trypsin-specific inhibitors, and a protein isolated from the stable fly thorax. When human albumin and globulin fractions were incubated with trypsinlike enzymes isolated from the midgut and excreta, the albumin fraction was less inhibitory than the globulin fractions and was readily hydrolyzed by the proteolytic enzymes. These results may indicate that the proteolytic enzymes produce an abortive complex with the globulin fractions of the sera. Such a complex may explain the temporary inhibition of proteolysis by the blood meal. Soybean trypsin inhibitor fed to stable flies caused 50% inhibition in proteolytic activity in the midguts of sugar-fed stable flies and 25% inhibition in the midguts of blood-fed stable flies. Complete inhibition of proteolytic enzyme activity was achieved only in vitro. pH profiles of proteolytic enzyme activity isolated from the excreta of blood-fed stable flies indicated that several proteolytic enzymes were excreted.  相似文献

The present study was designed to evaluate the hepatoprotective effects of newly isolated stigmast-4, 20 (21), 23-trien-3-one (STO) against carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic injury in Wistar albino rats. Hepatotoxicity was induced by the administration of a single intraperitoneal dose of CCl4 (0.5 mL/kg CCl4 in olive oil) in experimental rats. Three different doses (2.5, 5.0, and 10 mg/kg, p.o) of STO was administered to the test groups during whole experimental protocol. Changes in the activity of serum ALT, AST, ALP, TB, and TP, anti-oxidant enzymes like SOD, CAT, GPx, GST, and LPO were studied in CCl4-induced hepatocellular carcinogenesis. The altered levels of serum ALT, AST, ALP, TB, and TP restored toward normalization significantly by STO in a dose dependant manner. The biochemical observations were supplemented with histopathological examination of rat liver sections. Meanwhile, it also produced a significant and dose-dependent reversal of CCl4-diminished activity of anti-oxidant enzymes like SOD, CAT, GPx, GST, and the reduced CCl4-elevated level of LPO. STO significantly prevented the increased levels of serum markers, also suppressed the free radical processes by scavenging hydroxyl radicals. It also modulates the levels of LPO and markedly increases the endogenous anti-oxidant enzymes level in CCl4-induced hepatic injury.  相似文献

Manduca sexta pharate pupal molting fluid contains more than 10 proteolytic enzymes that differ in relative mobility during electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels containing sodium dodecyl sulfate and gelatin. The major gelatin digesting enzyme was an endoprotease with an apparent molecular weight of 100 kDa. Gel filtration on a Sephacryl S-300 column resolved another endoprotease of similar size that digests azocoll and [3H]casein. In addition we found an aminopeptidase-like enzyme (MWapp 500 kDa) and at least three carboxypeptidase-like enzymes (MWapp 10–60 kDa). Use of pseudosubstrates and inhibitors suggested the presence of both trypsin-like and chymotrypsin-like enzymes with the former activity approx. 10-fold greater than the latter. However, none of the proteolytic enzymes were substantially inhibited by diisopropylphosphorofluoridate or phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride which are poteint inhibitors of trypsin and chymotrypsin. No carboxyl or sulfhydryl proteases were detected. The enzymes were most active in the neutral to alkaline pH range, but they were relatively unstable during storage which precluded their purification to homogeneity. Proteolysis of Manduca cuticular protein appears to involve a rather complex and unique mixture of endo- and exo-cleaving proteolytic enzymes.  相似文献

Urban waste waters were treated with pure ozone or combinations of ozone, hydrogen peroxide and/or UV radiation to study the course of resulting BOD (biological oxygen demand)-time profiles and to propose a kinetic model. BOD-time profiles of chemically treated waste waters show an initial lag period that first order kinetic models cannot describe. A second order kinetic model is then proposed that satisfactorily fits experimental BOD-time profiles, except when hydrogen peroxide has been used. In these cases, BOD-time profiles present the highest lag periods observed. By applying this model, three parameters are determined: the biokinetic constant (k) which is an index of the biological removal rate; the potential amount of biodegradable matter (BODT), and the measure of the size of inocula and microbial activities of microoganisms (λ). The model was checked with experimental results of BOD-time profiles corresponding to both untreated and chemically ozonated urban waste waters. Ozonated waste waters showed the highest values of k and BODT, which implies an improvement of waste water biodegradability after ozonation. However, values of λ corresponding to ozonated waste waters presented lower values than those of untreated waste waters. This was due to the lag period observed in the BOD-time profile, which was a consequence of a lack of microorganism acclimation to ozonated waste waters. The effect of the ozone does, pH and carbonates during ozonation on COD (chemical oxygen demand) and the above indicated parameters was also studied. There was an optimum ozone dose which was 138 mg/l for this specific system. This led to the highest biodegradable fraction (φ) and the highest biokinetic constant (39% increase in φ and 4.7- fold increase in the value of k, respectively, compared to untreated waste waters.). Another significant fact was that a higher COD reduction was observed in the absence of carbonate during ozonation at basic pH values. In addition, the percentage of variation in the biodegradable fraction (Δφ) of ozonated waste water increased compared to the untreated waste water at acid pH. The results suggest that ozonolysis, the direct molecular ozone way of reaction, due to its selective character, increases the biodegradability of waste water more than other chemically advanced oxidation processes based on hydroxyl radical reactions.  相似文献

Regulatory subunits (R subunits) of mouse lung cAMP-dependent protein kinases undergo age-dependent changes in endogenous proteolysis, with the greatest amount of the major Mr = 37,000 proteolytic fragment detectable during fetal and neonatal development. Homogenization of lung in the presence of various protease inhibitors does not affect this age-related difference, suggesting that the observed quantitative change in R subunit proteolysis occurs in vivo. Mechanisms were sought to account for this age-dependent change. The production of a Mr = 37,000 proteolytic fragment can be stimulated in lung extracts by the addition of exogenous calcium and is due to the action of an endogenous Ca2+-stimulated protease. Neonatal lung extracts show more Ca2+-stimulated proteolysis of R subunits than adult extracts, although only slight agerelated differences in either the Ca2+-stimulated protease or its specific endogenous inhibitor were observed. Age-dependent differences in R subunits which may affect sensitivity to proteases were also examined. Analysis of the two-dimensional patterns of adult and neonatal 8-N3-[32P]cAMP-labeled R subunits before or after limited proteolysis with trypsin suggests that the R subunits are structurally similar. Differences are found, however, in the relative proportions of adult and neonatal Type I R subunits (RI) in the holoenzyme or dissociated forms. An increased proportion of neonatal R subunits exist in the dissociated state, whereas adult R subunits exist primarily in the holoenzyme form. Dissociated R subunits from mouse lung are more susceptible than the holoenzyme to limited proteolysis by the partially purified lung Ca2+-stimulated protease. Dissociation of the holoenzyme in vivo may be a major factor in the age-dependent proteolytic changes observed in mouse lung protein kinases.  相似文献

Isolated pea thylakoids were experimentally unstacked in low-salt buffer and incubated with Pronase or trypsin. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that brief treatment with a very low concentration (1 μg/ml) of either enzyme had an effect primarily on the light-harvesting chlorophyll ab-protein complexes, which are more sensitive to proteolytic attack than the other proteins of the thylakoid membranes. This mild proteolysis cleaves a ~1000-dalton portion from the predominant 28,000-dalton polypeptide of these complexes. Extensive proteolysis (100 μg Pronase/ml for 15 min) degraded almost all membrane polypeptides not associated with the pigment-protein complexes and degraded the chlorophyll ab-protein complexes further than milder proteolysis. Pronase treatment of thylakoids in the presence of horseradish peroxidase was used to monitor membrane breakage during proteolysis. Treatment with 100 μg Pronase/ ml enabled considerable amounts of peroxidase activity, and presumably, proteolytic enzymes to enter into the intrathylakoid space. This trapping of peroxidase activity was seen only minimally with milder proteolysis (1 μg Pronase/ml). These results suggest that brief exposure to low concentrations of proteolytic enzymes affects only the outer, stromal thylakoid surface, while at higher concentrations, significant proteolysis takes place at both sides of the membrane.  相似文献

CO2 assimilation, xanthophyll cycle pigments and PSII efficiency were analyzed in two different ages of pumpkin leaves (Cucurbita pepo L. cv. Ambassador) exposed to 150 nmol mol-1 of ozone (5 days, 5 h day-1). Gas-exchange measurements revealed a reduction in CO2 assimilation and stomatal conductance, accompanied by an increase in the intercellular CO2 concentration both in young and in mature leaves as compared to their respective controls. In both leaves, F0 remained unchanged, while Fm and the Fv/Fm ratio decreased after O3 fumigation, indicating that ozone may induce an alteration in the capability of photosystem II (PSII) to reduce the primary acceptor QA. In the mature leaves the photochemical quenching (qp) was significantly lowered by the pollutant, but this was not the case in the young leaves where qp did not change. In both mature and young ozonated pumpkin leaves, the development of non-photochemical quenching caused a decrease in the PSII photochemical rate, as shown by the correlation between Fv/Fm and the de-epoxidation state of dark-adapted leaves. Decreases in the Fv/Fm ratio are generally attributed to damage to the PSII reaction centre, apart from the down-regulation of the capacity of PSII electron transport. While in young ozonated leaves the decrease in the Fv/Fm ratio was not associated with damage to the D1 protein, in mature ozonated pumpkin leaves, the decrease in the Fv/Fm was accompanied by a significant decline in the D1 content. In conclusion, ozone exposure induces alterations in the light reactions of photosynthesis in both young and mature leaves. However, in young leaves the engagement of the xanthophyll cycle appears to counteract ozone effects against the photosynthetic apparatus as demonstrated by the absence of damage to the D1 protein. On the other hand, the loss of D1 protein in mature fumigated leaves suggests that the activation of the xanthophyll cycle is not sufficient to prevent photoinhibition, probably because a physiological state of senescence adds to the oxidative stress.  相似文献

Seedlings of spring barley, meadow fescue, and winter rape were fumigated with 180 μg kg−1 of ozone for 12 d, and effect of O3 on photosynthesis and cell membrane permeability of fumigated plants was determined. Electrolyte leakage and chlorophyll fluorescence were measured after 6, 9, and 12 d of fumigation, while net photosynthetic rate (P N) and stomatal conductance (g s) were measured 9 d after the start of ozone exposure. O3 treatment did not change membrane permeability in fescue and barley leaves, while in rape a significant decrease in ion leakage was noted within the whole experiment. O3 did not change the photochemical efficiency of photosystem 2 (PS2), i.e., Fv/Fm, and the initial fluorescence (F0). The values of half-rise time (t1/2) from F0 to maximal fluorescence (Fm) decreased in fescue and barley after 6 and 9 d of fumigation. P N decreased significantly in ozonated plants, in the three species. The greatest decrease in P N was observed in ozonated barley plants (17 % of the control). The ozone-induced decrease in P N was due to the closure of stomata. Rape was more resistant to ozone than fescue or barley. Apparently, the rape plants show a large adaptation to ozone and prevent loss of membrane integrity leading to ion leakage.

Neurodegenerative effects of MPP+, the main metabolite of MPTP include dopamine (DA) depletion and enhanced lipid peroxidation (LPO) in mice striata, both associated to free radicals overproduction. Since copper is related to several antioxidant enzymes, we tested its neuroprotective effect against MPP+-induced neurotoxicity (20 g/3 l). CuSO4 pretreatment was administrated by either acute (2.5 mg/kg, i.p) or chronic (350 or 700 mg/l doses through drinking water, for 30 days) schemes. Acute administration blocked MPP+-induced striatal LPO only when administered 16 or 24 hours before MPP+, and prevented the DA-depleting effect only at 24 hours. Chronic CuSO4 prevented the LPO increase, and blocked the DA depletion only at the higher dose used (700 mg/l). Neuroprotective effect of CuSO4 was dependent on the dose and the time of pretreatment, which suggest that this lag could be related with mechanisms of activation or synthesis of copper-dependent proteins responsible of cellular defense against MPP+.  相似文献

Cuticular phenoloxidase (Tyrosinase) in the larval stage of the coconut pest Oryctes rhinoceros has been extracted in the stable proform using cane sugar saline/borate buffer. The extracted prophenol oxidase can be activated by the addition of proteolytic enzymes such as trypsin, chymotrypsin, thermolysin, and subtilisin. Detergents such as SDS and Tween-80 also activated the enzyme. Electrophoretical analysis revealed dissociation of the enzyme into two molecular forms after its activation by proteolytic enzymes. The functional significance of the enzyme is suggested to involve the generation of quinone compounds in the wound healing process: most phenoloxidase inhibitors prevented melanization when applied topically to surgical wounds. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

Digestion of rabbit liver microsomal smooth vesicles with Bacillus subtilis protease released proteins and peptide fragments from the vesicles, without solubilizing phospholipids and cholesterol. The proteolysis was, however, limited when about 30% of the protein had been solubilized. The same limitation was observed when the vesicles were treated with trypsin, chymotrypsin, or their combinations with the bacterial protease. The limited proteolysis was accompanied by selective solubilization of cytochrome b5 and microsomal NADPH-specific flavoprotein, leaving the CO-binding hemoprotein and some other enzymes still attached to the vesicular membranes. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation of protease-treated vesicles indicated that all the vesicles had been attacked by the protease to similar extents. The behavior of intact and digested vesicles in dextran density gradient centrifugation suggested that the vesicles, even after proteolytic digestion, existed in the form of closed sacs which were impermeable to macromolecules such as dextran and proteases. It was concluded that only the outside surface of the vesicles is susceptible to the proteolytic action and that cytochrome b5 and the NADPH-specific flavoprotein are located in the susceptible area.  相似文献

Insect midgut proteases are excellent targets for insecticidal agents such as protease inhibitors. These inhibitors are used for producing transgenic plants, resistant to pests. For achieving this goal, it is necessary to find the nature of specific proteases and their properties for adopting possible pest management procedure. Therefore, characterisation of the enzymes in the gut of the rose sawfly, Arge rosae (Hymenoptera: Argidae), responsible for proteolysis, was performed using a range of synthetic substrates and specific inhibitors. The optimum conditions for general proteases and trypsin were achieved at pH 10. The highest activity for general proteases was obtained at a temperature of 45°C. The use of specific inhibitors and SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) provided evidence to suggest that most of the proteases belonged to the serine group because of high inhibitory effect of phenyl methane sulfonyl fluoride on total proteolytic activity. Also, inhibition assays and zymogram analysis showed that metalloproteases are present in A. rosae digestive system. These results indicated that A. rosae larvae mainly used serine proteases for protein digestion, with chymotrypsin as the dominant form. The kinetic parameters of trypsin-like proteases using N-benzoyl-dl-arg-p-nitroanilide as substrate indicated that the K m and V max values of trypsin in the gut of the fifth instar larvae were 730 ± 17.3 μM and 456 ± 13.85 nmol min?1 mg?1 protein, respectively.  相似文献

Water deficit is an important constraint to rice (Oryza sativa L.) productivity. The present study was undertaken to investigate whether the level of oxidative stress, carbonylation of proteins, proteolysis and status of antioxidative defense could serve as a model to distinguish water deficit tolerant and sensitive rice cultivars. When 10-day-grown seedlings of two rice cultivars, Malviya-36 (drought-sensitive) and Brown Gora (drought-tolerant) were subjected to ?1.0 and ?2.1 MPa water deficit treatments for 24–72 h with polyethylene glycol 6000 in the medium, a greater decline in the growth of the seedlings and levels of leaf water potential, relative water content, Chl a, Chl b, carotenoids and greater increase in leaf water loss were observed in the sensitive cultivar than the tolerant. Under similar level of water deficit seedlings of sensitive cultivar showed higher level of superoxide anion generation, H2O2, lipid peroxidation and proteolysis in roots as well as shoots compared to the tolerant. Drought-tolerant cultivar had higher constitutive level of antioxidative enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase and the activities of these two enzymes alongwith of guaiacol peroxidase showed greater increase in this cultivar under water deficit compared to the sensitive. A significant decline in the level of protein thiol and a higher increase in protein carbonyls content, also confirmed by protein gel blot analysis with an antibody against 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine was observed in the seedlings of drought sensitive cv. Malviya-36 compared to the tolerant cv. Brown Gora when subjected to similar level of water deficit. Seedlings of drought sensitive cultivar, under water deficit, showed higher proteolytic activity, higher number of in-gel activity stained proteolytic bands and higher expression of oxidized proteins in roots compared to the tolerant cultivar. Results suggest that poor capacity of antioxidative enzymes could be, at least partly, correlated with water deficit sensitivity of sensitive cultivar and that higher activity of antioxidative enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase, guaiacol peroxidase, low proteolytic activity, lower level of protein carbonyls and protein thiolation could serve as a model to depict water deficit tolerance in Indica rice seedlings.  相似文献

Rats were injected intraperitoneally withPseudomonas aeruginosa (septic group) or sterile 0.9% NaCl (controls). Soleus muscles were excised 7 h later, and muscle prostaglandin E2 release and tyrosine release were measured in vitro. Muscles of septic rats exhibited 226–326% higher release of prostaglandin E2 and 54–84% higher net proteolysis than muscles of controls. Inclusion of aspirin or indomethacin in the incubation medium almost completely inhibited prostaglandin E2 production, but had no effect on net proteolysis in muscles from either group. Inclusion of cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor, increased tyrosine release of control muscles by 42%, whereas no statistically significant increase was observed in muscles from infected rats. However, total proteolytic rate, indexed by tyrosine release in the presence of cycloheximide, was 22% higher in muscles of septic rats compared to that of control animals. Concomitantly, inclusion of cycloheximide inhibited prostaglandin E2 release by muscles of infected rats by 91% and that of controls by 65%. It is concluded that (a) muscles of septic animals exhibit a pronounced stimulation of prostaglandin E2 release and net proteolysis, combined with a small increase in total proteolytic rate, (b) the stimulation of net proteolysis is mainly due to inhibition of protein synthesis, (c) the increases in net and total proteolysis appear to be independent of prostaglandin E2 production, (d) cycloheximide has a previously unrecognized inhibitory effect on muscle prostaglandin E2 production.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to determine whether exposure of plants to ozone (O3) increased the foliar levels of glucose, glucose sources, e.g., sucrose and starch, and glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), because in leaf cells, glucose is the precursor of the antioxidant, L-ascorbate, and glucose-6-phosphate is a source of NADPH needed to support antioxidant capacity. A further objective was to establish whether the response of increased levels of glucose, sucrose, starch and G6P in leaves could be correlated with a greater degree of plant tolerance to O3. Four commercially available Spinacia oleracea varieties were screened for tolerance or susceptibility to detrimental effects of O3 employing one 6.5 hour acute exposure to 25O nL O3 L-1 air during the light. One day after the termination of ozonation (29 d post emergence), leaves of the plants were monitored both for damage and for gas exchange characteristics. Cultivar Winter Bloomsdale (cv Winter) leaves were least damaged on a quantitative grading scale. The leaves of cv Nordic, the most susceptible, were approximately 2.5 times more damaged. Photosynthesis (Pn) rates in the ozonated mature leaves of cv Winter were 48.9% less, and in cv Nordic, 66.2% less than in comparable leaves of their non-ozonated controls. Stomatal conductance of leaves of ozonated plants was found not to be a factor in the lower Pn rates in the ozonated plants. At some time points in the light, leaves of ozonated cv Winter plants had significantly higher levels of glucose, sucrose, starch, G6P, G1P, pyruvate and malate than did leaves of ozonated cv Nordic plants. It was concluded that leaves of cv Winter displayed a higher tolerance to ozone mediated stress than those of cv Nordic, in part because they had higher levels of glucose and G6P that could be mobilized during diminished photosynthesis to generate antioxidants (e.g., ascorbate) and reductants (e.g., NADPH). Elevated levels of both pyruvate and malate in the leaves of ozonated cv Winter suggested an increased availability of respiratory substrates to support higher respiratory capacity needed for repair, growth, and maintenance.Abbreviations ADPG-PPiase ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase - ASC L-ascorbic acid - APX ascorbate peroxidase - Ce CO2 concentration in air in the measuring cuvette during photosynthesis measurements - Ci CO2 concentration in the leaf intercellular spaces during photosynthesis measurement - Chl chlorophyll - DHA dehydroascorbic acid - DHA reductase dehydroascorbate reductase - DHAP dihydroxyacetone phosphate - GAP glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate - Gluc glucose - GR glutathione reductase - Gsw stomatal conductance with units as mmol H2O m-2 s-1 - GSSG oxidized glutathione - GSH reduced glutathione - G1P glucose-1-phosphate - G6P glucose-6-phosphate - G6P dehydrogenase glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase - 6PG 6-phosphogluconate - 6PG dehydrogenase 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase - F6P fructose-6-phosphate - FBP fructose-1,6-bisphosphate - MAL malate - MDHA reductase monodehydroascorbate reductase - PE post-emergence - PEP phosphoenolpyruvate - PGA 3-phosphoglycerate - Pi orthophosphate - PYR pyruvate - Pn net CO2 photoas-similation in leaves - PPFD photosynthetic photon flux density with units of mol photons m-2 s-1 - PPRC pentose phosphate reductive cycle - RuBP ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate - rubisco ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase - SLW specific leaf weight - TCA cycle tricarboxylic acid cycle - Triose-P DHAP+GAP  相似文献
