中国暖温带落叶阔叶林中某些树种的13C自然丰度:δ13C值及其生态学意义

利用质谱分析仪对暖温带地区落叶阔叶林优势种稳定碳同位素的分析发现不同树种叶片的稳定碳同位素比率差别较大 ,大多数优势种叶片δ13C值在 -2 4.75 1‰± 0 .85 4‰～ -2 8.1 1 3‰± 1 .5 1 9‰之间。叶片的δ13C值可以分为 3个等级 , 级 ,叶片的 δ13C≥ -2 5 .5‰ , 级 ,叶片的 δ13C值在 -2 5 .5‰～ -2 7.5‰之间 , 级 ,叶片的 δ13C≤ -2 7.5‰ ,由于δ13C值在一定程度上能够反映植物的生理生态特性 ,这表明所研究的植物在生理生态特性方面也可以分为 3个类型。同时 ,由于植物的不同器官具有不同的生理生态特性 ,导致器官对 13C具有不同的分馏特性 ,也导致器官之间的δ13C值产生差异 ,分析结果显示树干、根和小枝的δ13C值一般要较叶片的δ13C值高 ,但不同树种又各具特点。生境的差异是影响稳定碳同位素比率的另一个重要原因 ,良好生境条件下生长的植物的δ13C值一般较生长在干旱瘠薄生境下的低。     

垃圾堆肥复合菌剂对干旱胁迫下草坪植物生理生态特性的影响

从生活垃圾堆肥中提取有益微生物菌种,配成不同浓度的复合微生物菌剂（CM）,施入草坪基质,研究了复合微生物菌剂对干旱胁迫下草坪植物生理生态特性的影响。结果表明：在干旱胁迫下,接种过复合微生物菌剂的草坪植物叶片的丙二醛（MDA）含量显著低于未接种菌剂的对照,超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、过氧化物酶（POD）、过氧化氢酶（CAT）活性显著高于对照。不同草坪植物品种生理生态特性在接种CM后对干旱胁迫的响应程度不同。即高羊茅（Festuca arundinacea L.）,当接种200倍稀释液的菌剂,叶片SOD、POD和CAT活性达到最大,分别是对照的8.13、1.53和2.46倍;而黑麦草（Lolium perenne L.）则当接种100倍稀释液的菌剂,POD和CAT活性分别高出对照64.4%和56.1%,而SOD活性是对照的6.50倍。和对照相比,各接种菌剂处理的脯氨酸（Pro）含量、可溶性蛋白含量明显降低,离体叶片持水力却保持了较高的水平。上述结果表明,接种复合微生物菌剂后,植物能够通过自身的保护酶活性和渗透调节物质含量来减轻干旱伤害,维持植物体的正常生理代谢功能,从而有效缓解干旱胁迫对草坪植物的伤害,提高草坪植物的抗旱性,为干旱环境草坪植物的建植提供依据。     

花同源异型基因FBP2调节叶片中过氧化物酶的表达

对碧冬茄和烟草的野生型以及FBP2转化植株(transformant)叶片中过氧化物酶 (POD)的特性做了分析 ,结果表明FBP2在花中的表达可以调节叶片特异POD的表达 ,并影响其活性。此外 ,FBP2在花中的表达还影响叶片内源植物生长物质的水平以及多酚氧化酶 (PPO)和过氧化氢酶 (CAT)的活性。结果表明 :花同源异型基因不仅调控花器官的发育 ,而且参与营养器官代谢的调节 ,使之适应于生殖器官的生长发育     

过氧化氢参与了黑暗诱导的盐地碱蓬叶片甜菜红素积累

该文比较研究了黑暗和光照条件下C₃盐生植物盐地碱蓬(Suaeda salsa)叶片甜菜红素积累和H₂O₂含量及其抗氧化酶活性的关系,实验分析了甜菜红素体外抗氧化性能,以期揭示诱导盐地碱蓬甜菜红素积累的可能机制以及甜菜红素积累的生理生态意义。结果表明:暗期处理和营养液中加入一定浓度的H₂O₂都明显促进盐地碱蓬叶片H₂O₂含量、甜菜红素的含量、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)的活性,而且叶片中 H₂O₂含量与甜菜红含量、SOD和CAT活性具有正相关性;盐地碱蓬甜菜红素体外清除羟自由基的能力明显强于维生素C,而清除超氧阴离子能力低于维生素C。这些结果表明:黑暗作为一种环境胁迫因子诱导盐地碱蓬叶片甜菜红素的积累可能是由自由基介导的,甜菜红素的积累可能与提高植物的抗氧化能力有关。     

碳量子点对模式植物拟南芥的生物效应研究

以模式植物拟南芥（Arabidopsis thaliana（L.）Heynh）为材料,从生理及分子层面研究碳量子点（Carbon quantum dots,CQDs）对拟南芥生物效应的影响。结果显示,CQDs能被拟南芥根部吸收并连续运输到叶片,对种子萌发率无明显影响,但能显著促进幼苗主根伸长和株重的增加。幼苗叶片叶绿体中色素含量随CQDs浓度的升高而显著降低。脯氨酸与丙二醛含量随CQDs浓度的升高呈先上升后下降趋势。超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）和过氧化氢酶（CAT）活性随CQDs浓度的升高呈先上升后下降趋势,在抗氧化酶系统中起主导作用;叶片内源过氧化氢（H₂O₂）的积累随CQDs浓度的升高而升高,具有显著的浓度依赖效应。与其他纳米材料处理不一样的是,硫同化及胁迫相关基因在CQDs处理后表达量下调,这可能与CQDs粒子本身的特性有关。     

引入稳定性碳同位素概念讲授光合碳代谢途径的尝试

光合作用是植物生理学中比较重要的一个章节,也是植物生命活动中的核心过程之一,有C3、C4和景天酸(CAM)3种不同类型碳代谢途径,在许多植物生理学教科书中,对此介绍得比较明白.我们在教学过程中感到,尽管多次强调C3、C4和CAM 3种途径的主要异同点和相应植物类群的主要特征,但绝大多数学生仍然对此缺少感性认识,甚至有些迷茫.鉴于此,我们在讲授植物不同光合途径的过程中,引入稳定性碳同位素概念,这不仅使学生在学习过程中掌握了一门与植物生理学相关的技术方法,也增强了学生对3种碳代谢途径的理解.现介绍如下.     

外源一氧化氮供体硝普钠浸种对盐胁迫下小麦幼苗碳氮代谢及抗氧化系统的影响

预先用0.1mmol/L的SNP(硝普钠,NO供体)浸种,研究NO预处理对120mmol/L NaCl胁迫下两小麦品种(扬麦12和淮麦17)幼苗叶片抗氧化系统、碳氮代谢及蛋白酶活性的影响。结果表明,NO预处理能有效地抑制NaCl胁迫下小麦幼苗叶片超氧阴离子释放(O.2-)和过氧化氢(H2O2)积累,提高超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性,降低丙二醛(MDA)含量,提高叶绿素、类胡萝卜素和可溶性总糖含量。另外,NO预处理显著提高叶片可溶性蛋白质含量,以及内肽酶和羧肽酶活性。分析表明,NO有利于维持盐胁迫下小麦碳氮代谢正常运转,从而促进植株生长,提高小麦幼苗株高、鲜重和干重。试验条件下,NO对淮麦17的促进作用大于扬麦12。     

沉水植物光合作用的特点与研究进展

沉水植物属于高等植物,由陆生被子植物演化而来,它们在形态、光合生态生理方面对水下生活环境发生了一系列适应性变化。沉水植物的光合作用受水体中光、温度、pH和无机碳等影响,本文对此进行了综述。水中低CO2扩散率以及细胞外较厚的扩散层阻碍了沉水植物净碳的吸收,因此,沉水植物光合作用速率受到无机碳供应的限制。为获得无机碳,沉水植物在形态结构和生理生化上表现一定的特性,包括薄的叶片层并含有叶绿体以及对HCO3-利用的能力,拟C4型和CAM型光合代谢途径的选择。这些是沉水植物碳浓缩机制的具体体现。     

3个桉树无性系过氧化氢酶活性及同工酶比较研究

本文研究杂交桉树(Eucalyptus urophylla×Eucalyptus camaldulensis)LH21无性系、LH22无性系和尾叶桉(Eucalyptus urophylla)U6无性系的过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性及同工酶的差异。结果表明,3个桉树无性系同一器官的CAT活性存在差异,同一个无性系中不同器官的CAT活性差异很显著。采用聚丙烯酰胺不连续凝胶垂直板电泳比较分析CAT同工酶,发现3个无性系的CAT同工酶存在着一定的差异,其中LH21和LH22叶片有相同的谱带,但根的谱带与叶片有差异;而U6各器官的CAT谱带与LH21和LH22有差异。3个无性系的CAT同工酶都在一定程度上具有器官的特异性。     

兼性CAM植物长叶景天叶片在C3和CAM型时的光氧化作用

通过停止浇水产生水分胁迫使兼性CAM植物长叶景天(Sedum spectabile Boreau)叶片光合途径由C3型转为CAM型.干旱15 d时观察到典型的CAM生理特征,且叶片的δ13C值与含水量成线性相关.水分胁迫改变了叶绿素荧光参数和抗氧化能力,ΦPSⅡ和qP降低50%和34%,NPQ提高约180%,SOD活性和清除DPPH@ 自由基能力也明显下降, 但膜半透性变化不大.当将处于C3(浇水)和诱导为CAM(缺水)型的叶圆片用外源甲基紫精(MV)和强光作光氧化处理后,与C3型叶片相比,诱导CAM型叶片的NPQ不能提高,qP和ΦPSⅡ降至很低水平,光系统处于高还原态,光能供给与消耗失衡(1-qP=0.86和(1-qP)/NPQ>1),膜系统几乎失去完整性.这种严重的光氧化损伤表明,与我们以前报告的专性CAM植物不同,以兼性CAM植物诱导表达的CAM型未能显示比C3型较强的耐光氧化优势.讨论了出现这种光氧化敏感性差别的可能原因.     

Photoperiodism and Crassulacean acid metabolism

Measurements of net CO₂ exchange, malate accumulation, properties and capacity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC, EC 4.1.1.31) in leaves of different ages of two short-day dependent Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana v. Poelln. Tom thumb and K. velutina Welw.) show that, in both species: a) young leaves from plants grown under long days display a CO₂ exchange pattern typical of C₃ plants; b) leaf aging promotes CAM under long-day conditions; c) short-day treatment induces CAM in young leaves to a higher degree than aging under long days; d) at least in K. blossfeldiana, the PEPC form developed with leaf aging under long days and the enzyme form synthetized de novo in young leaves grown under short days were shown to have similar properties. Short days also promote CAM in older leaves though at a lesser extent than in young leaves: The result is that this photoperiodic treatment increases the general level of CAM performance by the whole plant. The physiological meaning of the control of PEPC capacity by photoperiodism could be to afford a precisely timed seasonal increase in CAM potentiality, enabling the plant to immediately optimize its response to the onset of drought periods.Abbreviations CAM Crassulacean acid metabolism - PEP phosphoenolpyruvate - PEPC phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.31) - LD long day - SD short day     

The Distribution of Stomata and Photosynthetic Pathway in Leaves

The stoma freguency and distribution on both epidermis of leaves of 65 species of C3 plants, 49 species of C4 plants and 16 species of CAM plants were studied by impres- sion method with colorless nail oil. The results indicated that distribution of stoma on both epidermis of leaves was in relation to the photosynthetic pathway and living type. The stoma ratio of upper/lower of C3 plants was 0.45 (sun herb) and 0.07 (shade herb), no stoma was found on upper epidermis of leaves of ferns, shrubs and trees. Plants with C4 photosynthetic pathway, except a few species, showed a higher stoma ratio of upper/lower 0.64 (Cyperaceae), 0.82 (dicot) and 0.94 (Oramineae). Much less stoma frequency was found in CAM plants than in C3 and C4 plant, but the stoma ratio of upper/lower was equal. In C3 crop plants, the species with shorter growth period and higher yield, such as sunflower, peanut and some leafy vegetables had higher stoma ratio of upper/lower. It is supposed that the stoma ratio of upper/lower might be used as an helpful index for identifing the C4 plants in monocot grass. It was also considered that the photosynthetic rate of amphistomatous leaves of C3 plants with same living type was related to the stoma ratio of upper/lower.     

Effect of salinity and different nitrogen sources on the activity of antioxidant enzymes and indole alkaloid content in Catharanthus roseus seedlings

The activities of antioxidant enzymes viz. glutathione reductase, GR; superoxide dismutase, SOD; peroxidase, POD; catalase, CAT and glutathione-S-transferase, GST and alkaloid accumulation were investigated in leaf pairs (apical, middle, basal) and in roots of Catharanthus roseus seedlings under the conditions of different nitrogen sources (20 mM KNO(3) and 2 mM NH(4)Cl) and salinity, in the absence (non-saline control) and in the presence of 100 mM NaCl in the nutrient solution. Salinity caused a reduction in plant biomass. The biomass production of ammonium-fed plants was lower than that of nitrate-fed plants. The antioxidant enzymes exhibited higher activity in saline-treated plants. Changes in antioxidant enzyme activity caused by different nitrogen sources differed in all leaf pairs, as well as in roots of C. roseus. Ammonium-fed plants showed higher CAT, GR and GST activity in leaf pairs as well as in roots, while POD and SOD activity were higher in nitrate-fed plants. Higher peroxidase activity concomitant with the increased accumulation of alkaloid was found in all leaf pairs, as well as in roots of C. roseus of NO(3)(-) fed plants as compared to NH(4)(+) fed plants.     

The Identification of Photosynthetic Subpathways of Some C4 and CAM Plants

The photosynthetic subpathways of five C4 plants and one CAM plant were distinguished according to their chemical, physiological and cytological characteristics. Based on C4 acid decarboxylation enzymes, four C4 plants of Setaria glauca, Sporobolus indicus, Zoysia tenuifolia and Leptochloa chinensis all exhibited the functional high activities of PEP carboxykinase and aspartate aminotransferase as seen in the known PEP-CK subtype. The δ13C value of –12.43% in leaves of L. chinensis was also consistent with that range among PEP-CK subtype. So, these species were classified into PEP-CK subtype. However, their chloroplasts in bundle sheath cells were evenly distributed, not as that displayed centrifugally or centripetally in three typical subtypes. The even arrangement of chloroplasts in bundle sheath cells was likely to be an evolutional intermediate from centripetal (NAD ME type) to centrifugal types (NADP-ME and most PEP-CK types). The high activities of NAD-malic enzyme and aspartate aminotransferase, accompanied with the centripetally located chloroplasts, 0.057 of quantum yield and tile δ13C value of –15.3% in leaves of C4 dicot Euphobia hirta indicated characteristics of NAD-ME subtype. Moreover, CAM plant Aloe vera clearly fell into PEP-CK sybtype because of its high activity of PEP-CK both in whole leaf and green tissue.

以青藏高原东北隅的西宁和海北(海拔分别为2 300 m和3 200 m)人工栽培唐古特山莨菪为材料,对两不同海拔地区间各叶层叶片光合色素含量和抗氧化酶活性等生理指标进行比较分析.结果显示:(1)生长在海北的唐古特山莨菪叶片厚度极显著高于西宁(P<0.01),且两地区植物的叶片厚度从第1层到第4层均呈显著增加趋势;海北唐古特山莨菪叶片的叶绿素a、叶绿素b、总叶绿素、类胡萝卜素含量以及紫外吸收物质的含量均显著高于西宁地区(P<0.05),从第1层到第4层,两地植株叶片的光合色素和紫外吸收物质的含量都呈降低的趋势,且两地区让差异显著;叶绿素a/b的层间差异显著(P<0.05),但两海拔地区间差异不显著;类胡萝卜素/叶绿素比值海北高于西宁,从第1层到第4层叶片呈降低趋势.(2)生长于海北的唐古特山良菪叶片组织中的SOD、CAT活性和MDA含量比西宁的高,POD、APX则相反;从第1层叶片到第4层,西宁和海北唐古特山莨菪叶片中的SOD活性显著增高(P<0.05),但两地区各层间的CAT、POD、APX活性和MDA含量无明显的变化.研究表明,不同海拔对唐占特山莨菪叶片的生理特性有影响,同一海拔不同叶层叶片之间差异也较为明显;生长在高海拔地区的植物尽管表现出诸多生理适应特征,但膜系统依然有一定受损.     

锌胁迫对“不知火”和“椪柑”的生理指标及锌分布的影响

采用砂基培养法,研究了0、0.05和0.5 mg·L^-1Zn²⁺（0.05 mg·L^-1为对照,0.5 mg·L^-1为锌过量,0 mg·L^-1为锌缺乏）处理下“不知火”和“椪柑”叶片的一些生理指标及不同部位锌含量的变化。结果表明：1）缺锌处理的“不知火”叶绿体色素含量和叶面积均显著低于其对照和锌过量处理;锌过量处理的“椪柑”叶绿体色素含量和叶面积均显著低于对照。2) 3个锌浓度处理间,“不知火”叶片POD、“椪柑”叶片CAT活性无显著性差异,“不知火”叶片CAT、SOD活性随着锌浓度的升高而升高,锌缺乏处理下“椪柑”叶片POD、CAT、SOD活性均显著地高于“不知火”,而锌过量时“不知火”叶片SOD活性显著高于“椪柑”;锌胁迫下“不知火”和“椪柑”叶片MDA含量均显著高于对照,锌过量时“椪柑”叶片MDA含量显著高于“不知火”。3）2品种柑橘不同部位的锌含量随着锌处理浓度的升高而升高,在相同浓度的锌处理下“椪柑”叶锌含量显著高于其他部位及“不知火”叶锌含量,“不知火”上部叶锌含量显著高于其下部叶。     

小叶锦鸡儿抗沙埋生长与抗氧化酶及同工酶变化的关系

小叶锦鸡儿(Caraganas tenophylla L.)是广泛应用于流动沙丘治理的优良固沙植物。然而关于其抗沙埋生理机理目前尚不清楚。选择生长在科尔沁沙地的小叶锦儿为试验材料,依据株高对其进行不同程度沙埋(轻度、中度、重度沙埋), 并通过测定沙埋过程中植株高度、不同部位叶片丙二醛(MDA)含量、抗氧化酶活力、抗氧化酶同工酶谱变化, 以揭示其抗沙埋生理适应机理和基因调控机理。结果表明:沙埋6d,植株各部位生长加快,尤其是顶部和基部生长更快。叶片MDA含量降低、整株植物叶片平均过氧化氢酶(CAT)、过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活力增加,但重度沙埋使抗氧化酶活力下降。沙埋12d,植株各部位生长继续加大, 沙下叶片凋落。与对照相比,沙上叶片MDA含量成倍增加,并与叶片POD、SOD和CAT活力的大幅度提高呈正相关,并与对照差异显著(P < 0.01)。同时,不同厚度沙埋6d,叶片CAT同工酶出现两新带CAT III和CATII;POD同工酶谱带(6条酶带)随沙埋厚度增加,叶片PODII区带加宽、色加深,POD I 和POD III酶带消失。但是,不同厚度沙埋下,沙上和沙下叶片CAT、SOD和POD酶谱带数和活力均相同。这表明在沙埋应激适应反应期(6d),叶片抗氧化酶活力的增强与抗氧化酶基因表达增强和基因启动有关。受到沙埋重力胁迫的成熟叶可能将胁迫信号传递给沙上没有沙埋的叶子及生长点,导致整株叶片产生整体适应性反应,激活抗氧化酶系统,以致加速生长。因此,小叶锦鸡儿萌蘖生物学特性和抗氧化酶对沙埋胁迫快速响应在维护氧自由基代谢平衡和植株快速恢复生长中起重要保护作用。     

贵州特有植物美丽红山茶水分胁迫的生理响应

采用水分抗逆性指标主成分分析法,选择4年实生苗,测定和评价了连续30 d水涝和干旱胁迫的生理响应.结果表明：(1)水涝处理的叶片生长旺盛,光泽度和观赏性无明显变化,叶片相对含水量、MDA含量、SOD活性、POD活性、CAT活性的变化差异在5％以内,土壤含水量增加3．47％,细胞膜透性减少1．59％,短期水涝对美丽红山茶伤害不明显;(2)随着干旱时间延长,新叶卷缩、老叶脱落,土壤含水量、叶片相对含水量随时间呈负相关缓慢减少,细胞膜透性呈正相关缓慢增长,但复水10 d 后可恢复正常生长,无明显生理变化响应;(3)SOD活性和MDA含量分别增加了0．66％和5．31％,POD活性随干旱时间上下波动而增加6．47％, CAT活性随干旱时间延长而增加,20 d增加33．33％达最大值20．8 U??g-1??min-1.在抗性生理中,维持膜稳定性的叶片含水量、POD和CAT的变化对抗旱能力大小起主要作用.     

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase kinase is controlled by a similar signaling cascade in CAM and C(4) plants

In Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plants, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is subject to day-night regulatory phosphorylation of a conserved serine residue in the plant enzyme's N-terminal domain. The dark increase in PEPC-kinase (PEPC-k) activity is under control of a circadian oscillator, via the enhanced expression of the corresponding gene (1). The signaling cascade leading to PEPC-k up-regulation was investigated in leaves and mesophyll cell protoplasts of the facultative, salt-inducible CAM species, Mesembryanthemum crystallinum. Mesophyll cell protoplasts had the same PEPC-k activity as leaves from which they were prepared (i.e., high at night, low during the day). However, unlike C(4) protoplasts (2), CAM protoplasts did not show marked PEPC-k up-regulation when isolated during the day and treated with a weak base such as NH(4)Cl. Investigations using various pharmacological reagents established the operation, in the darkened CAM leaf, of a PEPC-k cascade including the following components: a phosphoinositide-dependent phospholipase C (PI-PLC), inositol 1,4,5 P (IP(3))-gated tonoplast calcium channels, and a putative Ca(2+)/calmodulin protein kinase. These results suggest that a similar signaling machinery is involved in both C(4) (2, 3) and CAM plants to regulate PEPC-k activity, the phosphorylation state of PEPC, and, thus, carbon flux through this enzyme during CAM photosynthesis.
