Salt-tolerant reed plants ( Phragmites communis Trinius) and salt-sensitive rice plants ( Oryza sativa L. cv. Kinmaze) were grown in salinized nutrient solutions up to 50 m M NaCl, and growth, Na+ contents and kinetics of 22Na+ uptake and translocation were compared between the species to characterize the salt tolerance mechanisms operating in reed plants. When both plants were grown under the same salinity, Na+ contents of the shoots were lower in reed plants, although those of the roots were quite similar. The shoot base region of both species accumulated Na+ more than the leaf blades did. Sodium-22 uptake and pulse-chase experiments suggested that the lower Na+ transport rate from root to shoot could limit excessive Na+ accumulation in the reed shoot. There was a possibility that the apparently lower 22Na+ transport rate to the shoot of reed plants was due to net downward Na+ transport from shoot base to root.  相似文献

Salinity response of a freshwater charophyte, Chara vulgaris   总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0  
Abstract. Chara vulgaris L. growing in an oligohaline lake was adapted to laboratory conditions and subjected to long-term salinity treatments ranging from 0 to 350 mol m 3 NaCl added to the lake water (40–680 mosmol kg 1). Osmotic potential and concentration of the main osmotically active solutes (K+, Na+, Mg2+, Cl and sucrose) in the vacuolar sap of the central internodal cells were estimated. C. vulgaris did regulate turgor but incompletely. Turgor decreased from 335 mosmol kg 1 under control conditions to 52–111 mosmol kg 1 at 350 mol m 3 NaCl. The enhancement of πi was achieved by increase in both ions and sucrose. Sterile and fertile plants differed in their response to osmotic stress. In sterile plants, the ions accounted for about 87% of the vacuolar osmotic potential. The increase of πi under osmotic stress was exclusively due to an accumulation of Na+ and Cl-. In fertile plants, sucrose accounted for about 35% of πi and ions for about 51% Under osmotic stress, sucrose content increased together with the ionic content of Na+ and Cl-.  相似文献

NaCl (140 m M ) was applied to 14-day-old plants of salt-sensitive Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Volgogradskij and its wild relative L. pimpinellifolium Mill. accession PE-2. Changes in the relative growth rate of whole plant, and in the levels of inorganic and organic solutes in leaves, stems and roots were followed for 15 days after the application. Short-term salt exposure (4–6 days of salinization) resulted in enhanced relative growth rates for L. pimpinellifolium , but did not affect growth of L. esculentum , After 6 days of salinization, the relative growth rates of both species decreased significantly; leading to practically comparable growth rates for them by day 15. In all parts of both species, the contribution of organic solutes to the osmotic potential (Ψs) gradually decreased from 30% on day 0 to a value lower than 5% on day 4. In L. pimpinellifolium , compared to L. esculentum , short-term salt exposure resulted in (1) a higher percentage of adjustment of Ψs; and (2) increases in Na+ and K+ uptake rates, and in the levels of organic acids and proline (the level of which reached that of sugars, i.e., 10 μmol g-1 dry weight. Conversely, in L. esculentum , drastic reductions of K+ uptake rates and organic acid levels occurred already on day 1. During long-term salt exposure, both species were able to adjust osmotically and both exhibited decreases in organic acid levels as well as in K+ uptake and accumulation rates in all parts. The results are discussed in an attempt to explain the adaptive responses during short-term salt exposure and the metabolic dysfunctions that lead to growth decrease after long-term exposure to salt.  相似文献

Long‐term salt effects on plant growth have often been related to direct ion toxicity due to the accumulation of high ion concentrations in plant tissue. This work examines the relative importance of endogenous ABA, as well as Na+ and Cl toxicity, in the inhibition of leaf growth and photosynthesis, in bean plants grown at 1, 25, 50 and 75 m M NaCl until the fruit‐bearing stage. All salt‐treated plants showed very high leaf Cl concentrations, with little difference between plants exposed to 50 or 75 m M NaCl. The 25 and 50 mM salt‐treated plants were able to successfully exclude Na+ from their leaves, and only suffered an initial decline in the rate of leaf growth. Plants exposed to 75 m M NaCl showed an increase in Na+ leaf concentrations with an accompanying decrease in growth and photosynthesis as salt exposure progressed. A high correlation was found between leaf Na+ and leaf growth. Leaf ABA significantly increased with salt supply, and was highly correlated with both leaf Na+ and leaf growth. Our results suggest that in bean plants under long‐term salt stress, leaf ABA may participate in the regulation of leaf growth, and leaf Na+ would be at least partly responsible for increased ABA levels.  相似文献

Hypocotyl-derived callus cultures of Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis cv. Kim-jung (Chinese cabbage) were grown on Murashige and Skoog medium containing no additional salt, NaCl or Na2SO4. Na2SO4 was more than twice as inhibitory in comparison to the same concentration of NaCl when growth and fresh:dry weight ratios of established callus were measured. Levels of protein, starch, sucrose and α-amino nitrogen were not significantly altered in salt-grown callus. Concentrations of reducing sugars and chlorophyll were 2–3 times greater in callus grown on either salt. Proline concentration increased 15–20 fold on the highest levels of salt. Final concentrations (reached in 20–24 days) were closely correlated to the initial Na+ concentration of the medium, regardless of salt type. The osmotic potential in callus transferred to NaCl or Na2SO4 reached a maximum negative value after 16 days. For both salts, subsequent increases were correlated to increases in fresh:dry weight and growth. On both salts, turgor remained relatively constant (0. 6–0.75 MPa). Changes in Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ content were correlated to initial Na+ concentration in the medium, not salt type. Accumulation of Na+ was accompanied by loss of K+ and Mg2+. Six to seven times less sulfate was measured in callus grown on Na2SO4 than chloride in callus grown on similar concentrations of NaCl.  相似文献

Arabidopsis mutants with reduced response to NaCl and osmotic stress   总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11  
We isolated 6 mutant lines of Arabidopsis thaliana that expressed reduced sensitivity to salt and osmotic stress during germination. All 6 lines cum recessive mutations in a single gene, designated reduced salt sensitivity (rss), linked to the ADH marker on chromosome 1. The rss mutants are less sensitive than wild type for NaCl and osmotic stress inhibition of germination, tolerating approximately 150 mM higher concentrations of NaCl and about 250 mM higher concentrations of sorbitol in the media. Germination assays on media containing various salts indicate that the rss mutations reduce sensitivity lo Na+ and Rh+ but also, to a much lesser degree, to K+ and Css+. However, the rss mutation does not improve plant growth when plantlets are transferred to high salt or high osmotic pressure media after germination. The rss plantlets accumulate praline to a significantly lesser degree than wild type when they are exposed to either salt or osmotic stress. Thus, the rss mutants differ from wild type both at germination and during vegetative growth indicating that the rss mutations are pleiotropic and might affect perception of solutes or some aspect of stress-induced signaling. The rss mutations do not alter ABA sensitivity and therefore probably do not affect ABA-mediated signaling.  相似文献

Gas exchange parameters, water relations and Na+/Cl- content were measured on leaves of one-year-old sweet orange ( Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck cv. Hamlin) seedlings grown at increasing levels of salinity. Different salts (NaCl, KCl and NaNO3) were used to separate the effects of Cl and Na+ on the investigated parameters. The chloride salts reduced plant dry weight and increased defoliation. Accumulation of Cl in the leaf tissue caused a sharp reduction in photosynthesis and stomatal conductance. By contrast, these parameters were not affected by leaf Na+ concentrations of up to 478 m M in the tissue water. Leaf water potentials reached values near −1.8 MPa at high NaCl and KCl supplies. This reduction was offset by a decrease in the osmotic potential so that turgor was maintained at or above control values. The changes in osmotic potential were closely correlated with changes in leaf proline concentrations. Addition of Ca2+ (as calcium acetate) increased growth and halved defoliation of salt stressed plants. Furthermore, calcium acetate decreased the concentration of Cl and Na+ in the leaves, and increased photosynthesis and stomatal conductance. Calcium acetate also counteracted the reductions in leaf water and osmotic potentials induced by salinity. In addition, calcium acetate inhibited the accumulation of proline in the leaves which affected the reduction in osmotic potential. These results indicate that adverse effects of salinity in Citrus leaves are caused by accumulation of chloride.  相似文献

Salt tolerance of the reed plant Phragmites communis   总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6  
Reed plants ( Phragmites communis Trinius) were grown at NaCl concentrations up to 500 m M and their growth, mineral contents and leaf blade osmotic potential were determined. Addition of NaCl up to 300 m M did not affect growth significantly. Sucrose, Cl-and Na+ concentrations in the shoots increased with the salinity of the medium and the shoot water content decreased. K+ always contributed most to the leaf osmotic potential. Even in the presence of 250 m M NaCl in the rooting medium, the leaf blade contained only 50 mM Na+, suggesting that the plants have an efficient mechanism for Na+ exclusion. 22Na+ uptake experiments suggested that the retranslo-cation of absorbed Na+ from shoots to the rooting medium lowered the uptake of Na+.  相似文献

Puccinellia tenuiflora is a useful monocotyledonous halophyte that might be used for improving salt tolerance of cereals. This current work has shown that P. tenuiflora has stronger selectivity for K+ over Na+ allowing it to maintain significantly lower tissue Na+ and higher K+ concentration than that of wheat under short- or long-term NaCl treatments. To assess the relative contribution of Na+ efflux and influx to net Na+ accumulation, unidirectional 22Na+ fluxes in roots were carried out. It was firstly found that unidirectional 22Na+ influx into root of P. tenuiflora was significantly lower (by 31–37%) than in wheat under 100 and 150 m m NaCl. P. tenuiflora had lower unidirectional Na+ efflux than wheat; the ratio of efflux to influx was similar between the two species. Leaf secretion of P. tenuiflora was also estimated, and found the loss of Na+ content from leaves to account for only 0.0006% of the whole plant Na+ content over 33 d of NaCl treatments. Therefore, it is proposed that neither unidirectional Na+ efflux of roots nor salt secretion by leaves, but restricting unidirectional Na+ influx into roots with a strong selectivity for K+ over Na+ seems likely to contribute to the salt tolerance of P. tenuiflora .  相似文献

Abstract Many species of bacteria isolated from saline environments require Na+ specifically for membrane transport. Transport occurs by a Na+ symport process energized by an electrochemical gradient of Na+ ions. The gradient at neutral pH appears to be produced by a primary electrogenic extrusion of protons coupled to a secondary, outwardly directed Na+ pump, a Na+/proton antiporter. At alkaline pH Vibrio alginolyticus may also produce the gradient by an energy-dependent primary extrusion of Na+ ions. Alteromonas haloplanktis and Vibrio costicola require salts in the medium to retain intracellular solutes. For A. haloplanktis the effects of the salts are primarily osmotic. For V. costicola , only NaCl is effective in retaining solutes and Na+ is required by this organism to maintain the membrane potential. In Escherichia coli a single substitution in the nucleotide sequence of the gene coding for the melibiose transport protein changed the cation specificity of the transport system. The possible ecological significance of this finding has been considered.  相似文献

This paper studies the relative importance of endogenous ABA and ion toxicity in the leaf growth inhibition caused by NaCl in salt-adapted and unadapted bush beans. Adaptation to salt-stress was achieved by germination of seeds in 75 m M NaCl, while unadapted plants were germinated in tap water. The adaptation process caused a transitory increase in leaf ABA, Na+ and Cl concentrations, while leaf expansion was inhibited. However, when grown for 8 or 13 days in 75 m M NaCl-containing nutrient solution, primary and first trifoliolate leaves of salt-adapted plants had greater areas than those of unadapted plants. Concentrations of ABA, Na+ and Cl in these leaves were lower in adapted plants, and a strong negative correlation between leaf expansion growth and either leaf Na+, Cl or ABA concentrations could be established. However, in the second trifoliolate leaves only the ABA, but not the Na+ or Cl, concentrations were significantly correlated with leaf expansion. Our results suggest that salt-induced inhibition of leaf expansion growth in bush beans is mediated by ABA rather than Na+ or Cl toxicity. Moreover, the increase of ABA, induced by the salt-pretreatment, seems to play an important role in limiting the accumulation of Na+ and Cl in the leaves, leading to adaptation of bush beans to salt-stress.  相似文献

We have investigated whether the overexpression of RCI2A gene causes an enhanced salt-tolerant phenotype in Arabidopsis thaliana . Although the growth of RCI2A -overexpressing transgenic plants was comparable with that of wild type under normal conditions, high salinity treatment caused decreased accumulation of Na+ and ameliorated suppression of the shoot growth of transgenic plants than that of wild type. Under high salinity treatment, the chlorophyll content of the shoots of wild-type plants significantly decreased compared with transgenic plants. The increases of malondialdehyde (MDA) and of H2O2 production caused by high salinity were greater in the shoots of wild type than in that of transgenic plants. These results suggest that overexpression of RCI2A can alleviate salinity-induced growth suppression and photooxidative damages via reducing Na+ uptake into the shoots.  相似文献

Previous studies have shown that the overexpression of betA (encoding choline dehydrogenase from Escherichia coli ) or AtNHX1 (a vacuolar Na+/H+ antiport from Arabidopsis thaliana ) gene can improve the salt tolerance of transgenic plants. However, little is known about the effects of the transgene pyramiding of betA and AtNHX1 . Here, betA  +  AtNHX1 transgene pyramiding tobacco was produced by sexual crossing, and the salt tolerance was evaluated at the cellular and plant levels. In NaCl stress, the Na+ concentration in vacuoles and vacuolar membrane potential of transgene pyramiding cells were similar to those of AtNHX1 -transgenics, and much higher than those of betA -transgenics when detected using fluorescent dye staining; transgene pyramiding cells showed a higher protoplast viability and comparable mitochondrial activity as compared with single transgenics; and transgene pyramiding plants showed comparable Na+ content in leaves as compared with AtNHX1 -transgenics and remarkably higher than betA -transgenics; and transgene pyramiding lines exhibited higher percentage of seed germination, better seedling growth and higher fresh weight than lines that had betA or AtNHX1 alone. Based on the integrative analysis of salt tolerance, the consistency between the cellular level and the whole plant level was confirmed and the transgene pyramiding plants exhibited improved salt tolerance, but compared with the plants with betA or AtNHX1 alone, the differences were relatively small. Other mechanisms involved in salt tolerance should be considered to further enhance transgene pyramiding plants salt tolerance.  相似文献

Plantago species differ in their strategy towards salt stress, a major difference being the uptake and distribution of Na+ ions. A salt-sensitive ( Plantago media L.) and a salt-tolerant ( P. maritima L.) species were compared with respect to Na+/H+ antiport activities at the tonoplast. After exposure of the plants to 50 m M NaCl for 6 days isolated tonoplast vesicles of P. maritima showed Na+/H+ antiport activity with saturation kinetics and a Km of 2.4 m M Na+, NaCl-grown P. media and the control plants of both species showed no antiport activity. Selectivity of the antiport system for Na+ was high and was determined by adding different chloride salts after formation of a Δ pH in the vesicles. Specific tonoplast ATPase activities were similar in the two species and did not alter after exposure to NaCl stress.  相似文献

Abstract: Na+ flux was studied in cultured neuroblastoma cells grown in medium containing increased glucose or L - fucose concentrations. Chronic exposure of neuroblastoma cells to 30 m M glucose or 30 m M L-fucose caused a decrease in ouabain-sensitive and veratridine-stimulated 22Na+ uptake compared with cells cultured in unsupplemented medium. The Na+ current, determined by using whole-cell configuration of the patch clamp, was also decreased in these cells. Tetrodotoxin (3 μ M ), which blocked whole cell Na+ currents, also blocked veratridine-stimulated 22Na+ accumulation. Culturing cells in medium containing 30 m M fructose as an osmotic control had no effect on Na+ flux. Specific [3H] saxitoxin binding was not affected by 30 m M glucose or 30 m M L-fucose compared with cells grown in unsupplemented medium, suggesting that the number of Na+ channels was not decreased. These studies suggest that exposing cultured neuronal cells to conditions that occur in the diabetic milieu alters Na+ transport and Na+-channel activity.  相似文献

Twenty‐day‐old sunflower plants ( Helianthus annuus L. cv. Sun‐Gro 380) grown in nutrient solutions with different KCl levels were used to study the effects of K+ status of the root and of abcisic acid (ABA) on the exudation rate (Jv), the hydraulic conductivity of the root (Lp), the fluxes of exuded K+ and Na+ (JK and JNa), and the gradient of osmotic pressure between the xylem and the external medium. Jv and Lp increased in direct proportion to the K+ starvation of the root. Also addition of ABA (4 µ M ) at the onset of exudation in the external medium made Jv and Lp rise, and this effect also increased with the degree of K+ starvation. Similarly, K+ starvation and ABA promoted both the flux of exuded Na+ and the accumulation of Na+ in the root. We suggest that ABA acts as a regulating signal for the radial transport of water across the root, and that potassium may be an effector of this mechanism.  相似文献
