本文采用不同浓度人工海水分别在小麦芽期和苗期进行胁迫处理,筛选不同时期、不同耐盐指标的适合处理浓度,并利用模糊数学隶属函数法计算各指标的隶属值,通过比较芽期、苗期各指标隶属值总平均值的大小来确定小麦品种耐盐性的强弱。建立了65%人工海水相对发芽率与40%人工海水相对芽长两指标相结合的小麦芽期耐盐性鉴定方法;以及在40%人工海水处理下综合株高增长量、根长增长量、地上部干重与地下部干重4个指标相对值的小麦苗期耐盐性鉴定方法。运用这两个鉴定方法可以有效地区分16个小麦品种在人工海水胁迫下的耐盐性差异。     

Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria-Mediated Adaptive Responses of Plants Under Salinity Stress

In this recent era, several approaches have been developed to alleviate the adverse effects of salinity stress in different plants. However, some of them are not eco-friendly. In this context, evolving sustainable approaches which enhance the productivity of saline soil without harming the environment are necessary. Many recent studies showed that plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are known to confer salinity tolerance to plants. Salt-stressed plants inoculated with PGPR enhance the growth and productivity of crops by reducing oxidative damage, maintaining ionic homeostasis, enhancing antioxidant machinery, and regulating gene expressions. The PGPR also regulates the photosynthetic attributes such as net photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll, and carotenoid contents and enhances the salinity tolerance to plants. Moreover, PGPR has a great role in the enhancement of phytohormones and secondary metabolites synthesis in plants under salt stress. This review summarizes the current reports of the application of PGPR in plants under salt stress and discusses the PGPR-mediated mechanisms in plants of salt tolerance. This review also discusses the potential role of PGPR in cross-talk with phytohormones and secondary metabolites to alleviate salt stress and highlights the research gaps where further research is needed.

     

硝酸镧浸种对NaCl胁迫下柳枝稷种子萌发及幼苗生理特性的影响

为探讨镧对NaCl胁迫下柳枝稷种子萌发及幼苗生理特性的影响,该研究以柳枝稷(Panicum virgatum L.)种子为研究材料,通过不同浓度(0、0.05、0.1、0.5和1.0mmol/L)La(NO3)3溶液浸种24h处理后,添加100mmol/L NaCl溶液,以蒸馏水为对照,在种子发芽箱中培养并观察柳枝稷种子萌发和幼苗生长,测定幼苗叶片相对电导率、丙二醛、脯氨酸和叶绿素的含量。结果显示:(1)0.05mmol/L La(NO3)3浸种处理可缓解100mmol/L NaCl对种子发芽的影响。(2)不同处理对幼苗苗长无显著影响,0.1mmol/L La(NO3)3浸种显著增加了幼苗的鲜重和叶面积,当浓度≥0.5mmol/L时根长、根冠比、鲜重和叶面积受到抑制。(3)幼苗叶片相对电导率和脯氨酸含量随La(NO3)3浓度的增加呈先降低后增加的趋势,其中0.05和0.1mmol/L La(NO3)3浸种处理下效果较好,丙二醛含量随La(NO3)3浓度的增加持续降低,但各浓度处理间差异不显著,叶绿素含量在0.05mmol/L La(NO3)3浸种处理下较NaCl处理显著增加,当浓度≥0.5mmol/L随着浸种浓度的增加呈下降趋势。(4)不同指标间发芽势与发芽率、根长和叶绿素含量间呈极显著正相关关系,与根冠比、电导率和脯氨酸含量均呈极显著负相关关系,而与苗长不相关。研究表明,低浓度(0.05mmol/L)La(NO3)3可缓解NaCl胁迫对柳枝稷种子萌发及幼苗生长的影响,而高浓度(1.0mmol/L)的La(NO3)3则会加重NaCl的胁迫危害。     

水分胁迫及复水过程中小麦幼苗叶片内Ca2+的定位

展现了冬小麦幼苗在干旱胁迫及干旱后复水过程中叶肉细胞内Ca2 的动态分布 :在正常水分条件下生长的小麦幼苗 ,其细胞中的Ca2 主要位于液泡内 ,同时 ,细胞间隙中有大量的Ca2 分布。在水分胁迫下 ,随着胁迫时间的加长 ,液泡和细胞间隙的Ca2 逐渐进入细胞质 ,导致细胞质中自由Ca2 浓度过高 ,并对细胞造成伤害。复水后 ,细胞质中高浓度Ca2 迅速排入液泡和细胞间隙 ,细胞质中Ca2 浓度又基本恢复正常水平 ,形象地展示了细胞内Ca2 的稳态调控机制     

Ca^2＋对小麦萌发及幼苗抗盐性的效应

以冬小麦（Triticum aestivum）临远077038为材料, 研究了施入外源Ca^2＋对150、200、250及350 mmol·L^-1NaCl胁迫下小麦种子萌发及幼苗生长发育的影响。结果表明： 20 mmol·L^-1CaCl2浸种能够提高小麦在150–250 mmol·L^-1盐胁迫下种子的发芽率, 并能增强其生长势; 当NaCl浓度为350 mmol·L^-1时, 小麦种子不能萌发, 且在以上浓度的NaCl胁迫下, 小麦种子均不能发育成苗。对NaCl胁迫下的小麦幼苗施入外源Ca^2＋后, 提高了幼苗膜稳定性, 降低了膜脂过氧化程度, 从而减轻了盐胁迫对幼苗膜的伤害, 表现为电导率降低、MDA含量降低及SOD和POD活性提高, 并且提高了幼苗的呼吸强度及叶绿素含量, 促进了幼苗生长及生物量的积累; Ca^2＋的缓解效应随着盐胁迫的加剧逐渐减弱, 在浓度为350 mmol·L^-1的盐胁迫下, 幼苗的生物量显著低于对照。以上结果表明, 与水处理相比, 20 mmol·L^-1CaCl2处理能够更大程度地促进小麦的生长发育。     

未分胁迫下不同抗旱性小麦芽鞘膨压和IAA及ABA含量变化（简报）

水分胁迫条件下,小麦细胞膨压下降与芽鞘生长抑制呈正相关。不同品种单位膨压升高引起的伸长生长有差异。水分胁迫0、3、8、20、32、45h后,抗旱性强的品种芽鞘中IAA含量及IAA／ABA比值在接近生长最快的时刻出现高峰;抗旱性差的品种IAA含量及IAA／ABA比值的高峰出现的时间与生长最快的时间不一致。单位膨压升高引起芽鞘长度增加大的品种,腔迫处理后IAA含理及IAA／ABA相对较高或下降程度相对较小;而BA含理升高则相反,抗旱性弱的品种胁迫处理后ABA含量增加相对较多。     

Silicon Application to Rice Root Zone Influenced the Phytohormonal and Antioxidant Responses Under Salinity Stress

Silicon (Si) application shows beneficial effects on plant growth; however, its effects on the phytohormone and enzymatic antioxidant regulation have not been fully understood. We studied the effects of short-term (6, 12, and 24 h) silicon (0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mM) application on salinity (NaCl)-induced phytohormonal [abscisic acid (ABA), jasmonic acid (JA), and salicylic acid (SA)] and antioxidant regulation in Oryza sativa. The results showed that Si treatments significantly increased rice plant growth compared to controls under salinity stress. Si treatments reduced the sodium accumulation resulting in low electrolytic leakage and lipid peroxidation compared to control plants under salinity stress. Enzymatic antioxidant (catalase, peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase) responses were more pronounced in control plants than in Si-treated plants under salinity stress. Stress- and defense-related phytohormones like JA were significantly downregulated and SA was irregular after short-term Si applications under salinity stress compared to control. Conversely, ABA was significantly higher after 6 and 12 h but insignificant after 24 h in Si-treated plants under salinity stress. After 6 and 12 h, Si and salinity stress resulted in upregulation of zeaxanthin epoxidase and 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase 1 and 4 (NCED1 and 4), whereas 24-h treatments significantly downregulated the expressions of these genes compared to those in the control. NCED3 expression increased after 6 and 24 h but it was insignificant after 12 h of Si application compared to control. The current findings indicate that increasing the Si concentrations for longer periods of time can regulate the salinity-induced stress by modulating phytohormonal and enzymatic antioxidants’ responses.     

Alleviation of Salinity Stress During Germination in Brassica Juncea by Pre-sowing Chilling Treatments to Seeds

Influence of pre-sowing chilling treatments to seeds on seed germination and accumulation of osmotics in Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czernj & Cosson] under NaCl stress was investigated. Germination was 100 % in water soaked non-chilled (control) seeds upto 100 mM NaCl, whereas it was upto 200 mM NaCl in chilling treated seeds. Pre-sowing chilling treatments to seeds for 5, 10 and 15 d also enhanced the dry mass of 6-d-old seedlings, and concentrations of saccharides and amino acids. The alleviation of NaCl stress by pre-sowing chilling treatments was also associated with decrease in Na⁺ and proline accumulation and a slight increase in K⁺ and Ca²⁺ contents of seedlings.

水分条件对干热河谷锥连栎种子萌发及幼苗早期生长的影响

对锥连栎(Quercus franchetii Skan)在4种施水量下的种子萌发、幼苗早期生长形态及生物量分配的响应特征进行了研究。结果表明,施水量对锥连栎的种子萌发过程具有显著影响。随着施水量增加,其种子萌发率、萌发指数以及萌发时间和萌发持续时间均呈明显的上升趋势,而萌发时滞和萌发速率系数呈下降趋势。锥连栎幼苗早期生长对施水量的适应幅度较大,每次施水4～12 mm时,幼苗均能存活,但生长状况存在明显差异,随着施水量的减少,幼苗生长和生物量的积累速度均出现显著减缓。同时,施水量对锥连栎幼苗生物量分配具有显著影响,随着施水量增加,幼苗根冠比呈显著下降趋势,表明在生物量分配上锥连栎幼苗具有极大的可塑性,施水量减少时,光合产物将向地下部分迁移,增加根冠比。     

Salicylic Acid-Mediated Regulation of Morpho-Physiological and Yield Attributes of Wheat and Barley Plants in Deferring Salinity Stress

Salinity has been observed to be a global problem that impede the physiological characteristics of plants. Salicylic acid (SA) as a phytohormone play multifaceted role in plants in terms of development as well as stress management. The current study was conducted to evaluate the effect of salinity and salicylic acid on the performance of wheat and barley plants under field experimentation followed by on-farm study to validate the results. This research was firstly conducted in a 4-year research barley field (2012–2013 and 2013–2014) and wheat (2014–2015 and 2015–2016) and subsequently in an on-farm research in four places (2017–2018). Results depicted that salinity decreased plant yield components and altered ion concentrations (Na⁺/K⁺) causing reduced grain and biological yield. However, SA foliar application induced yield components, especially grain number of plants in both years in non-saline and saline conditions. Exogenously SA application not only led to higher grain yield of barley and wheat but also significantly improved their salt tolerance. Our findings revealed that optimum SA concentrations for achieving highest barley yield were 0.85 and 0.78 mM under saline and non-saline conditions, respectively, while on-farm scale studies observed that foliar application of SA increased grain and biological yield of wheat in Ardakan, Ashkzar (saline soil and water) and Mehrabad (non-saline field) regions. There was no significant effect in Tijerd, a completely non-saline field. The grain yields were higher in SA-treated Ardakan, Ashkzar, and Mehrabad plants in field by 19, 16, and 15%, respectively. Based on present detailed studies, it was concluded that SA improved salinity tolerance and increased crop yield. So, optimum concentration (1.0–1.5 mM) with proper time application (double ridges), SA increased wheat and barley yields up to 20%. Therefore, SA priming could be used as a potent strategy to cope up salinity stress from plants.

水稻发芽期和幼苗前期耐碱性的鉴定方法研究

通过采用4种不同浓度的Na2CO3模拟碱胁迫,以水稻发芽期发芽势和发芽率的相对碱害率以及幼苗前期的根数、根长和苗高的相对碱害率为鉴定评价指标,研究水稻发芽期和幼苗前期耐碱性鉴定的碱胁迫条件。结果表明,水稻发芽势对碱胁迫的反应较发芽率更为敏感;根长对碱胁迫的反应较苗高和根数更为敏感;幼苗前期对碱胁迫的反应较发芽期更为敏感。在0．15％或0．20％Na2CO3胁迫下水稻发芽势和发芽率的相对碱害率平均值、方差和变异幅度较大。且其分布均匀合理,可作为水稻发芽期耐碱性鉴定的碱胁迫条件;而在0．10％或0．15％Na2CO3胁迫下,幼苗前期根数、根长和苗高的相对碱害率以及综合相对碱害率的平均值、方差和变异幅度较大,且分布相对均匀合理,可作为水稻幼苗前期耐碱性鉴定的碱胁迫条件。在碱胁迫下,水稻发芽势、发芽率、根数、根长和苗高的表型值分别与它们自身的相对碱害率呈极显著的负相关;发芽率的相对碱害率与根数、根长和苗高的相对碱害率呈显著的正相关;发芽期的综合相对碱害率与幼苗前期的综合相对碱害率呈显著的正相关;因此,以水稻发芽期的耐碱性可间接判断水稻幼苗前期的耐碱性。     

Synergistic and Antagonistic Effects of Salinity and pH on Germination in Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.)

The effects of salt-alkaline mixed stress on switchgrass were investigated by evaluating seed germination and the proline, malondialdehyde (MDA) and soluble sugar contents in three switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) cultivars in order to identify which can be successfully produced on marginal lands affected by salt-alkaline mixed stress. The experimental conditions consisted of four levels of salinity (10, 60, 110 and 160 mM) and four pH levels (7.1, 8.3, 9.5 and 10.7). The effects of salt-alkaline mixed stress with equivalent coupling of the salinity and pH level on the switchgrass were explored via model analyses. Switchgrass was capable of germinating and surviving well in all treatments under low-alkaline pH (pH≤8.3), regardless of the salinity. However, seed germination and seedling growth were sharply reduced at higher pH values in conjunction with salinity. The salinity and pH had synergetic effects on the germination percentage, germination index, plumular length and the soluble sugar and proline contents in switchgrass. However, these two factors exhibited antagonistic effects on the radicular length of switchgrass. The combined effects of salinity and pH and the interactions between them should be considered when evaluating the strength of salt-alkaline mixed stress.
