抑制表达谷氨酸合酶基因对水稻碳氮代谢的影响

提高水稻的氮素利用率对农业生产极为重要,水稻谷氨酸合酶（GOGAT,EC1．4．1．14）被认为具有提高水稻氮素利用率的潜力,但该酶在水稻中的功能以及其对碳氮代谢的影响一直未被系统的报道．本研究以抑制表达谷氨酸合酶基因的转基因水稻为材料,结合谷氨酸合酶基因家族全生育期表达谱数据,研究该基因家族在水稻体内的功能及其对碳氮代谢的影响．结果表明,谷氨酸合酶家族基因成员的表达模式各不相同,具有明显的组织和器官特异性,表明其在体内行使着不同的功能．与野生型相比,抑制表达谷氨酸合酶基因的转基因植株的分蘖数、地上部干重以及单株产量显著下降．同时,转基因植株叶片中的硝酸盐、部分游离氨基酸、叶绿素、糖、糖磷酸以及吡啶核苷酸含量也显著降低,但游离铵、仅一酮戊二酸以及异柠檬酸含量上升．分析表明,谷氨酸合酶在水稻的碳氮代谢过程中扮演着重要角色,是水稻氮素高同化过程中必不可少的因子．

缺氮和复氮对菘蓝幼苗生长及氮代谢的影响

对基质育苗后水培的菘蓝进行缺氮与复氮处理,分析其生长情况及氮代谢产物含量的变化,探讨缺氮和复氮对菘蓝幼苗生长及氮代谢的影响,以提高菘蓝产量和品质以及栽培过程中的氮素利用效率。结果显示:(1)正常供氮条件下,菘蓝幼苗的叶绿素含量、谷氨酰胺合成酶(GS)活性、硝态氮含量、靛玉红含量为最高,而其株高、主根直径、根的鲜重与干重、叶的鲜重与干重、根系活力均最小。(2)缺氮处理增加了菘蓝幼苗的主根直径和根干重,提高其根系活力和硝酸还原酶(NR)活性,促进游离氨基酸在叶中的积累;但降低了GS的活性,也降低了叶中硝态氮、可溶性蛋白、靛玉红及根中游离氨基酸的含量;缺氮对叶中靛蓝的含量无明显影响。(3)复氮处理增加了菘蓝幼苗的株高、主根长、根鲜重、叶鲜重、叶干重,提高了其根系活力,降低了NR和GS的活性;与对照相比,复氮降低了叶中硝态氮含量,提高了叶中可溶性蛋白、靛蓝及根中游离氨基酸的含量,但对叶中游离氨基酸和靛玉红含量影响较小。研究表明,缺氮后再复氮有利于菘蓝幼苗叶的生长,同时有利于增加其叶内靛蓝含量,从而提高其产量和品质。

不同海拔下烤烟碳氮代谢相关酶基因的表达差异分析

为探讨贵州乌蒙烟区不同海拔的烤烟特色形成的分子机理,本文利用实时荧光定量PCR技术对的烤烟碳氮代谢相关酶基因的表达进行检测。结果表明,液泡转化酶(VIN)基因在烤烟移栽后50 d的中海拔表达较强,移栽后60 d高海拔表达比较活跃,烤烟成熟期低海拔表达略强。蔗糖合成酶(SS)和蔗糖磷酸合成酶(SPS)基因在烤烟旺长期高海拔表达较强,烤烟成熟期低海拔表达较强,中海拔表达较弱。在4个取样时期,海拔越高,蔗糖磷酸化酶(SPP)基因表达越强,高海拔地区烟叶的颗粒结合型淀粉合成酶(GBSSI)基因表达均最强。淀粉分支酶(SBE)基因在烤烟移栽后50、60和70 d高海拔下表达较强,在移栽后80 d低海拔下表达相对较强。从同一时期不同海拔的结果分析,烤烟硝酸还原酶(NR)基因表达强度随海拔降低而逐渐增强。谷氨酰胺合成酶(GS1-3和GS1-5)基因表达在4个取样时期表现为低海拔强于中、高海拔的。     

砷对烤烟碳氮代谢及其产量和品质的影响

采用盆栽试验,系统地研究了砷对烤烟全生育期的碳氮代谢及其产量和品质的影响。结果表明,砷毒害对烤烟全生育期的碳代谢有显著影响,抑制了碳的同化和转化,降低了整个生育期的叶绿素含量、光合速率,造成了全生育期可溶性糖的积累,导致了生育后期淀粉含量的降低,最终使碳积累减少。砷毒害也改变了烤烟的氮代谢,造成生育前期氮同化能力的降低,表现出硝酸还原酶(NR)活性下降、总氮和蛋白质含量低于CK。砷毒害烤烟的氮转化表现活跃,提高了其中的游离氨基酸含量和谷氨酸-丙酮酸转氨酶(GPT)活性,最终导致烤烟生育中后期总氮和蛋白质的积累,但使整个生育期的烟碱含量降低。研究还表明,砷毒害降低了烤烟的产量和经济性状,增加了叶片中砷的积累,可溶性总糖含量的提高和糖氮比的协调虽好,但烟碱含量的降低和总氮、蛋白质含量的增加,以及糖碱比和氮碱比的失调,不利于碳氮代谢有关的化学品质形成。     

锌对不同基因型玉米幼苗碳氮代谢的影响

选用不同耐锌玉米品种‘四单19’（低锌敏感型）和‘牡丹9’（低锌不敏感型）,采用营养液水培,研究不同锌浓度对碳酸酐酶（CA）活性、光合特性、可溶性糖含量等的影响。结果表明：玉米对锌具有选择运输的能力,当锌浓度过大对幼苗造成伤害时,根系吸收的锌向地上部运输的比例减少,以减少过量的锌对地上部造成的伤害。锌与CA活性密切相关,而CA活性与净光合速率的变化并非密切相关。低锌和高锌均显著增加了‘四单19’的可溶性糖含量,而‘牡丹9’的可溶性糖含量在缺锌与低锌处理下增加幅度并不明显,但在高锌处理下可溶性糖含量迅速增加。低锌和高锌处理都显著降低了‘四单19’叶片的蛋白质含量,而‘牡丹9’低锌处理下叶片可溶性蛋白含量下降并不明显,但在高锌处理下叶片可溶性蛋白含量大幅度下降。低锌处理下,‘四单19’的蛋白质合成受到抑制,而游离氨基酸大量积累,明显抑制了植株的生长;‘牡丹9’的蛋白质和氨基酸含量变化较小。

施氮对不同有机碳水平桉树林土壤微生物群落碳代谢的影响

土壤微生物群落碳代谢功能既受土壤氮素水平的影响,也与土壤有机碳水平密切相关,但二者如何共同影响土壤微生物群落碳代谢功能的研究尚不多见。以我国南方广泛种植的桉树林为对象,采用野外控制实验比较研究了4种施氮处理(对照:0kg/hm2,低氮:84.2 kg/hm2,中氮:166.8 kg/hm2,高氮:333.7 kg/hm2)对有机碳水平差异显著的两桉树林样地土壤微生物群落碳代谢功能的影响,结果表明:(1)两种有机碳水平桉树林土壤微生物群落碳代谢强度和代谢碳源丰富度显著不同,高有机碳水平桉树林土壤微生物群落碳代谢强度和代谢碳源丰富度显著高于低有机碳水平桉树林(P0.01);(2)施氮显著改变了桉树林土壤微生物群落的碳代谢强度和代谢碳源丰富度(P0.05),随着施氮水平的升高,土壤微生物群落碳代谢强度和代谢碳源丰富度均呈现先增加后降低的变化规律,但是高、低有机碳水平桉树林土壤微生物群落碳代谢强度和代谢碳源丰富度对施氮梯度的响应各不相同,高、低有机碳水平桉树林的土壤微生物群落碳代谢指标分别在中氮、低氮处理中达到最高值;(3)施氮影响土壤微生物群落代谢的碳源类型主要是碳水化合物类、氨基酸类和羧酸类,土壤微生物生物量是影响土壤微生物碳代谢强度和代谢碳源丰富度的重要因素。由此可知,施氮对土壤微生物碳代谢功能影响,也与土壤本底中有机碳水平的调节有关,所以在研究土壤微生物群落对施氮等条件的响应时,不能忽略土壤中有机碳水平。     

施氮时期对酿酒葡萄叶片氮代谢酶及相关基因表达的影响

以10年生‘蛇龙珠’葡萄为材料,在萌芽期(S1)、新梢旺长期(S2)、开花期(S3)、果实第一次膨大期(S4)、副梢生长旺期(S5)和果实第二次膨大期(S6)分别一次性施入尿素300kg·hm-2,以不施氮肥为对照(CK),分析了花前5d(DBF5)、花后25d(DAF25)、花后55d(DAF55)和花后85d(DAF85)叶片的各项指标,以明确氮素施用时期对葡萄叶片氮代谢的调控与影响。结果表明:(1)S1和S2处理葡萄叶片中总氮及可溶性蛋白含量在DAF25时显著增加。(2)S3和S4处理的NR及GS活性在DAF85时显著高于其他处理;在DAF25时,S1和S2处理的GOGAT活性,以及S3和S4处理的GDH活性均显著高于同期对照和其他施肥处理。(3)各施肥处理叶片VvNR表达水平在不同时期均高于同期对照,S3处理VvNR表达水平在DAF25和DAF85时分别为对照的3.4倍和2.7倍;S3和S4处理的VvGS表达水平分别在DAF55和DAF85时达到最高值,S3处理的VvGOGAT和S4处理的VvGDH表达水平在DAF55和DAF85均显著高于其他处理,S3处理的VvGDH表达水平在DAF55和DAF85仅次于S4处理。研究表明,氮素通过诱导叶片氮素代谢基因的响应,从而调控叶片中氮素代谢酶活性增加,促进了氮素的积累,S3和S4处理在不同时期氮代谢酶活性和对应的基因表达水平均较高,更有利于叶片中氮素的转化和代谢。

水稻金属耐受蛋白基因OsMTP2生物信息学及表达分析

为了解水稻(Oryza sativa)响应重金属污染及对重金属积累的机制,利用生物信息学手段对水稻金属耐受蛋白(metal tolerance protein, MTP) OsMTP2的结构特征进行预测,并分析OsMTP2基因的表达特征。结果表明,该蛋白由415个氨基酸组成,具有很强的疏水性。mRNA原位杂交结果表明,OsMTP2在叶片输导组织中有较强的表达,但在根、花药中没有检测到明显的杂交信号。这说明水稻金属耐受蛋白基因OsMTP2主要在输导组织中表达,并在金属离子运输中发挥重要作用。     

Prey selection and the functional response of sea stars (Asterias vulgaris Verrill) and rock crabs (Cancer irroratus Say) preying on juvenile sea scallops (Placopecten magellanicus (Gmelin)) and blue mussels (Mytilus edulis Linnaeus)

Predators in nature include an array of prey types in their diet, and often select certain types over others. We examined (i) prey selection by sea stars (Asterias vulgaris) and rock crabs (Cancer irroratus) when offered two prey types, juvenile sea scallops (Placopecten magellanicus) and blue mussels (Mytilus edulis), and (ii) the effect of prey density on predation, prey selection, and component behaviours. We quantified predation rates, behavioural components (proportion of time spent searching for prey, encounter probabilities) and various prey characteristics (shell strength, energy content per prey, handling time per prey) to identify mechanisms underlying predation patterns and to assess the contribution of active and passive prey selection to observed selection of prey. Sea stars strongly selected mussels over scallops, resulting from both active and passive selection. Active selection was associated with the probability of attack upon encounter; it was higher on mussels than on scallops. The probability of capture upon attack, associated with passive selection, was higher for mussels than for scallops, since mussels can not swim to escape predators. Sea stars consumed few scallops when mussels were present, and so did not have a functional response on scallops (the target prey). Rock crabs exhibited prey switching: they selected mussels when scallop density was very low, did not select a certain prey type when scallop density was intermediate, and selected scallops when scallop density was high relative to mussel density. The interplay between encounter rate (associated with passive selection) and probability of consumption upon capture (associated with both active and passive selection) explained observed selection by crabs. Scallops were encountered by crabs relatively more often and/or mussels less often than expected from random movements of animals at all scallop densities. However, the probability of consumption varied with scallop density: it was lower for scallops than mussels at low and intermediate scallop densities, but tended to be higher for scallops than mussels at high scallop densities. When mussels were absent, crabs did not have a functional response on scallops, but rather were at the plateau of the response. When mussels were present with scallops at relatively low density, crabs exhibited a type II functional response on scallops. Our results have implications for the provision of protective refuges for species of interest (i.e., scallops) released onto the sea bed, such as in population enhancement operations and bottom aquaculture.

Genetic Analysis and Physical Mapping of Lk-4(t), a Major Gene Controlling Grain Length in Rice, with a BC2F2 Population

Grain size and shape are important factors affecting grain quality and yield in rice. Mapping, tagging and identification of their related genes can lead us to understand their expression pattern and mechanism network, which is to their control. In this study we mapped a grain length controlling gene named Lk-4(t) with SSR and CAPs markers by screening 800 recessive plants in a BC₂F₂ population derived from a cross of Shuhui527xXiaoli and backcrossed with Xiaoli as the donor parent. The distribution of grain shape parameters and thousand grain weight in F₂ and BC₂F₂ population showed that backcross can diminish most unnecessary variations to identify the target gene more clearly. There were only two grain length phenotypes found among the 3 209 BC₂F₂ plants, long and short, indicating it is a qualitative trait. The frequency distribution for the grain length showed a typical segregation ratio of 3 : 1, suggesting that only one allele was responsible for the variation. By screening the recessive long grain plants with three CAPs markers, P1-EcoR V, P2-Sac I and P3-Mbo I, we tagged the locus on the arm of chromosome 3 near the centromere. Lk-4(t) was located between P1-EcoRV and P2-Sac I, with genetic distance of 0.90 cM and 0.50 cM from the two markers respectively. Mapping of the gene is a foundation for its final identification and function analysis.     

Identification of Related QTLs at Late Developmental Stage in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Under Two Nitrogen Levels

QTL underlying related traits at the late developmental stage under two different nitrogen levels were investigated in rice using a population of chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSL) derived from a cross between Teqing and Lemont. A total of 31 QTLs referring 5 traits, that is, plant height (PH), panicle number per plant (PN), chlorophyll content (CC), shoot dry weight (SDW) and grain yield per plant (YD), were detected. Under normal N level, 3 QTLs were detected for each trait, while under low N level, 5,4, 5 and 2 QTLs were detected for PH, PN, CC and SDW respectively. Most of the QTLs were located on chromosome 2, 3, 7, 11 and 12. QTLs controlling different traits or the same trait under different N levels were mapped on the same or adjacent intervals, forming several clusters in rice chromosomes. More than two traits were controlled by QTLs on one of four intervals (RM30-RM439, RM18-RM478, RM309-RM270, and RM235-RM17), suggesting that there were some pleiotropic effects. It was supposed that some QTLs only detected at low N level might be associated with the ability to tolerate the low N stress in rice.
