三唑酮对绿豆幼苗叶片衰老的延缓作用

三唑酮处理可提高离体绿豆（ＰｈａｓｅｏｌｕｓｒａｄｉａｔｕｓＬ．）幼苗叶片叶绿素和蛋白质含量。叶片衰老过程中超氧物歧化酶（ＳＯＤ）、过氧化物酶（ＰＯＤ）、过氧化氢酶（ＣＡＴ）和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶（ＡｓＡＰＯＤ）活性及抗坏血酸（ＡｓＡ）和还原型谷胱甘肽（ＧＳＨ）含量降低。２０ｍｇ／Ｌ三唑酮可提高ＰＯＤ、ＡｓＡＰＯＤ活性和ＡｓＡ、ＧＳＨ含量,对ＳＯＤ、ＣＡＴ活性无影响。丙二醛（ＭＤＡ）含量在叶片衰老过程中提高,并与ＰＯＤ、ＡｓＡＰＯＤ活性和ＡｓＡ、ＧＳＨ含量呈显著负相关,三唑酮可降低ＭＤＡ含量。表明三唑酮有提高植物对膜脂过氧化作用的保护能力,延缓叶片的衰老作用。     

水分胁迫对龙眼幼苗叶片膜脂过氧化及内源保护体系的影响

对龙眼（ＤｉｍｏｃａｒｐｕｓｌｏｎｇａｎａＬｏｕｒ．）实生幼苗进行人工水分胁迫,检测其抗氧化酶和抗氧化剂的变化,研究了干旱对叶片膜脂过氧化及内源保护体系的影响,结果表明,在水分胁迫下,龙眼叶片ＲＷＣ下降,电解质渗漏上升,ＲＷＣ的下降和电解质渗漏的上升呈极显著负相关;叶片中ＳＯＤ和ＰＯＤ活性及ＭＤＡ含量明显上升,且与电解质渗漏的增加呈极显著正相关;叶片中可溶性蛋白质,ＧＳＨ含量和ＡｓＡ－ＰＯＤ活性显     

钙对水稻幼苗抗冷性的影响

ＣａＣｌ２浸种提高水稻幼苗叶片中结合态钙、内源抗氧化剂（ＧＳＨ、ＡｓＡ）含量和膜保护酶（ＣＡＴ、ＳＯＤ和ＰＯＤ）活性,也增加可溶性蛋白质中煮沸稳定蛋白质（ｂｏｉｌｉｎｇ－ｓｔａｂｌｅｐｒｏｔｅｉｎ）的含量。冷胁迫期间,ＣａＣｌ２并能减少因冷胁迫引起的ＧＳＨ、ＡｓＡ含量,ＣＡＴ、ＳＯＤ和ＰＯＤ活性以及煮沸稳定蛋白质下降的程度。在恢复期间,经ＣａＣｌ２处理的幼苗其ＧＳＨ、ＡＳＡ、ＣＡＴ、ＳＯＤ和ＰＯＤ以及煮沸稳定蛋白质水平均有回升。     

冷锻炼和ABA诱导水稻幼苗提高抗冷性期间膜保护系统的变化

冷锻炼和ＡＢＡ处理提高了水稻幼苗叶绿体ＳＯＤ和ＧＲ活性及叶片抗氧化剂ＡｓＡ和ＧＳＨ的含量,降低了膜电解质泄漏,增强了幼苗的抗冷性．等电聚焦电泳分析表明,冷锻炼和ＡＢＡ处理苗叶绿体ＳＯＤ三条同工酶带和ＧＲ１、２、３和６同工酶带都有不同程度的增强．低温胁迫后,处理和未处理首的ＳＯＤ、ＧＲ活性和ＡＳＡ、ＧＳＨ含量均有所下降．但处理苗的水平仍维持在未处理苗之上．亚胺环已酮可抑制因冷锻炼和ＡＢＡ诱导增加的ＳＯＤ和ＧＲ活性,并使叶片电解质泄漏增大．本试验结果表明冷锻炼或ＡＢＡ诱导水稻幼苗抗冷性提高时,对防御活性氧的保护系统有类似的影响。     

水杨酸对黄瓜叶片抗氧化剂酶系的调节作用

分析了水杨酸（ＳＡ）对黄瓜（ＣｕｃｕｍｉｓｓａｔｉｖｕｓＬ．）叶片抗氧化剂酶系活性及活性氧水平的调节作用。不同浓度的ＳＡ（０．５ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ、１ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ、２．５ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ、５ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ）均能显著地提高被处理叶片超氧化物歧化酶（ＳＯＤ）和过氧化物酶（ＰＯＤ）活性,而且还能诱导同株的非处理叶片中ＳＯＤ和ＰＯＤ活性增加。用１ｍｍｏｌ／ＬＳＡ处理第一片真叶,在处理后６～７２ｈ,ＰＯＤ活性增加了２２％～６７％,同株非处理的第二片真叶ＰＯＤ活性增加了１４％～８６％,但是,在ＳＡ处理后３ｈ之前以及处理９６ｈ之后,ＰＯＤ活性没有变化。ＳＡ能够显著降低超氧物阴离子含量和提高过氧化氢水平,但它对过氧化氢酶（ＣＡＴ）活性的抑制作用很弱,表明ＳＡ提高体内过氧化氢含量的原因主要是通过提高ＳＯＤ活性而不是抑制ＣＡＴ活性。同工酶分析表明,ＳＡ不能诱导新的ＳＯＤ同工酶,但可以诱导新的ＰＯＤ同工酶。     

识别未衍生化的13—羟化GAs及其葡萄糖苷的单克隆抗体

抗ＧＡ３ 及其葡萄糖苷的ＭＡＢ１０单克隆抗体源于以ＧＡ３ 中的３ 位羟基（３－ＯＨ）为偶联位点,人血清白蛋白（ＨＳＡ）为载体合成的ＧＡ３－３－ＨＳＡ 免疫原． 该抗体对１３－羟化ＧＡｓ（１３－ＯＨＧＡｓ、ＧＡ１、ＧＡ３、ＧＡ５ 等）和ＧＡ３ 葡萄糖苷具有高亲和力． ７ 位羧基的甲酯化可显著降低ＭＡＢ１０ 对１３－ＯＨ ＧＡｓ的亲和力,而３－ＯＨ 的糖苷化却未降低其亲和力． 用该抗体建立的两种分别用于ＧＡ３ 及其葡萄糖苷测定的酶联免疫吸附法（ＥＬＩＳＡ）,其检测线性范围均为０．２～２０ ｐｍ ｏｌ． 借助这两种ＥＬＩＳＡｓ,研究了羊蹄（Ｒｕｍ ｅｘ ｊａｐｏｎｉｃｕｓ）叶片中ＧＡ３ 及其类似ＧＡｓ和葡萄糖苷的动态变化．结果表明,叶片衰老与游离态ＧＡｓ的糖苷化有关;而６－ＢＡ 延缓衰老则可能与其减缓ＧＡｓ的糖苷化有关     

水稻幼苗冷锻炼过程中钙的效应

冷锻炼处理提高了水稻（Ｏｒｙｚａ ｓａｔｉｖａ Ｌ．）幼苗叶片中抗氧化剂（还原型谷胱甘肽,ＧＳＨ;抗坏血酸,ＡｓＡ）含量和膜保护酶（超氧化物歧化酶,ＳＯＤ）的活性,同时也提高了可溶性蛋白质中热稳定蛋白的含量。ＣａＣｌ２ 浸种处理对上述冷锻炼的作用有加强的效果,且明显地提高了过氧化氢酶（ＣＡＴ）和过氧化物酶（ＰＯＤ）的活性。有无ＣａＣｌ２ 处理的冷锻炼处理均减轻冷胁迫引起的ＧＳＨ 及ＡｓＡ 含量、ＳＯＤ 活性及热稳定蛋白质含量的下降程度,有利于幼苗在恢复过程中ＧＳＨ、ＡｓＡ、ＣＡＴ、ＳＯＤ、ＰＯＤ及热稳定蛋白质水平迅速回升。结合ＣａＣｌ２ 处理的冷锻炼苗在冷胁迫恢复生长时增长迅速,且苗健壮浓绿,说明ＣａＣｌ２浸种对冷锻炼处理提高水稻幼苗的抗冷力有明显的促进作用,这与ＣａＣｌ２ 浸种结合冷锻炼能更有效的提高细胞膜保护能力有关     

冷锻炼对水稻和黄瓜幼苗SOD,GR活性及GSH,AsA含量的影响

水稻（Ｏｒｙｚａ ｓａｔｉｖａ Ｌ．）和黄瓜（Ｃｕｃｕｍ ｉｓｍ ｅｌｏ Ｌ．）幼苗在昼夜温度为１５ ℃／１０ ℃、白天光照１２ ｈ,光强为２５０ μｍ ｏｌ·ｍ － ２·ｓ－ １的条件下锻炼３ ｄ,明显地提高幼苗叶片中膜保护酶——超氧物歧化酶（ＳＯＤ）、谷胱甘肽还原酶（ＧＲ）活性和内源抗氧化剂——还原型谷胱甘肽（ＧＳＨ）、抗坏血酸（ＡｓＡ）的含量。经冷锻炼和未锻炼的幼苗移置４ ℃、光强为２５０ μｍ ｏｌ·ｍ － ２·ｓ－ １下胁迫处理２ ｄ,未锻炼苗叶片中ＳＯＤ、ＧＲ 活性和ＧＳＨ、ＡｓＡ 含量明显下降,而经冷锻炼的苗则相对比较稳定。从脂质过氧化产物——丙二醛（ＭＤＡ）含量及幼苗的存活率亦看出：冷锻炼苗具有较低的脂质过氧化水平和较高的幼苗存活率。由此认为：冷锻炼能提高水稻和黄瓜幼苗细胞膜的稳定性,从而增强了耐低温光胁迫的能力

臭氧胁迫下春小麦叶片胁迫乙烯产生与多胺含量的变化与调控

应用开顶式熏气装置,研究了０．７９６ ｍ ｇ／ｍ ３ Ｏ３ 浓度下,四叶期春小麦（Ｔｒｉｔｉｃｕｍ ａｅｓｔｉｖｕｍＬ．）叶片内胁迫乙烯产生和多胺含量的变化及其调控。结果表明：Ｏ３ 使胁迫乙烯的产生呈现先升后降的变化。ＣｏＣｌ２ 能强烈抑制胁迫乙烯产生。胁迫初期,精氨酸脱羧酶（ＡＤＣ）活性增强,当叶片伤害加重后,ＡＤＣ活性下降。对氯汞苯甲酸（ＰＣＭＢ）能抑制ＡＤＣ活性,并使腐胺（Ｐｕｔ）含量减少,而亚精胺（Ｓｐｄ）和精胺（Ｓｐｍ ）含量稍有增加。ＣｏＣｌ２ 对叶片ＡＤＣ活性影响不大,未见Ｐｕｔ的积累,Ｓｐｄ 和Ｓｐｍ 含量急剧增加,且一直保持较高水平,叶片所表现的伤害也较轻。较高浓度的Ｓｐｄ 和Ｓｐｍ 能抑制Ｏ３ 对植株的伤害,Ｓｐｄ 和Ｓｐｍ 的抑制作用大于Ｐｕｔ。由此认为,多胺含量变化是植物体对Ｏ３ 胁迫适应的调节机制之一     

Physiological significance of ascorbic acid in relation to drought resistance in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Summary A pot-culture experiment was undertaken to assess the physiological significance of ascorbic acid in relation to drought resistance in two high-yielding varieties of rice — Taichung Native — 1 and I.R. 8. The soil-moisture stresses were maintained at 7–10 and 15–20 per cent moisture at field capacity. The wilting treatments were given only at tillering and shooting stages. Observations pertaining to survivality of rice plants and determinations of ascorbic acid, acorbigen and ascorbic acid utilization in fresh leaves were made. The two varieties of rice,i.e. Taichung Native-1 and I.R. 8 were not identical in their drought tolerance. Taichung Native-1 was more drought resistant which may be presumed in view of their differences in morphological make-up and demand for water at different stages of growth. The leaves of Taichung Native-1 showed greater contents of ascorbic acid and ascorbigen following increased rate of ascorbic acid utilization as compared to I.R. 8. These values were significantly reduced during shooting stage, a critical period to drought. This confirms the significance of ascorbic acid towards drought resistance in plants with special reference to rice.     

Effects of Irradiance and Copper on the Activity of Ascorbate Oxidase in Detached Rice Leaves

The effects of copper on the activity of ascorbic acid oxidasc (AAO) in detached rice leaves under both light and dark conditions and in etiolated rice seedlings were investigated. CuSO₄ increased AAO activity in detached rice leaves in both light and darkness, however, the induction in darkness was higher than in the light. In the absence of CuSO₄, irradiance (40 μmol m^-2 s^-1) resulted in a higher activity of AAO in detached rice leaves than dark treatment. Both CuSO₄ and CuCl₂ increased AAO activity in detached rice leaves, indicating that AAO is activated by Cu. Sulfate salts of Mg, Mn, Zn and Fe were ineffective in activating AAO in detached leaves. CuSO₄ was also observed to increase AAO activity in the roots but not in shoots of etiolated rice seedlings.

高温对杂交水稻籽粒灌浆和剑叶某些生理特性的影响

以杂交籼稻特优559为材料,探讨了高温胁迫对水稻灌浆期剑叶中有关生理特性和籽粒灌浆速率的影响.结果表明:高温胁迫加速了剑叶叶绿素的丧失,使SOD活性明显降低,质膜透性和MDA含量明显增加,脯氨酸、AsA、GSH、可溶性蛋白质以及可溶性糖含量明显降低,籽粒灌浆速率和籽粒重下降.高温使灌浆期水稻叶片衰老加速、光合能力下降是其导致灌浆速率、结实率、粒重和籽粒产量降低的主要生理原因.     

Low phosphorus tolerance mechanisms: phosphorus recycling and photosynthate partitioning in the tropical forage grass, Brachiaria hybrid cultivar Mulato compared with rice

The Brachiaria hybrid cv. Mulato is well adapted to low-fertility acid soils deficient in phosphorus (P). To study the grassy forage's mechanisms for tolerating low P supply, we compared it with rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Kitaake). We tested by using nutrient solution cultures, and quantified the effects of P deficiency on the enzymatic activities of phosphohydrolases and on carbon metabolism in P-deficient leaves. While P deficiency markedly induced activity of phosphohydrolases in both crops, the ratio of inorganic phosphorus to total P in leaves was greater in Brachiaria hybrid. Phosphorus deficiency in leaves also markedly influenced the partitioning of carbon in both crops. In the Brachiaria hybrid, compared with rice, the smaller proportion of (14)C partitioned into sugars and the larger proportion into amino acids and organic acids in leaves coincided with decreased levels of sucrose and starch. Hence, in P-deficient leaves of the Brachiaria hybrid, triose-P was metabolized into amino acids or organic acids. Results thus indicate that the Brachiaria hybrid, compared with rice, tolerates low P supply to leaves by enhancing sugar catabolism and by inducing the activity of several phosphohydrolases. This apparently causes rapid P turnover and enables the Brachiaria hybrid to use P more efficiently.     

外源施加AsA和MeJA对乙烯利诱导水稻叶片衰老的影响

以野生型水稻(Oryza sativa)株系中花11(ZH-11)及其抗坏血酸合成关键酶基因GLDH下调株系(GI-2)为材料,研究了外源抗坏血酸(AsA)与茉莉酸甲酯(MeJA)对乙烯利诱导下水稻叶片早衰现象的影响。结果表明,外源AsA提高了水稻GI-2中的抗坏血酸含量、Rubisco含量及叶绿素的含量,减缓了其光合特性参数的下降速率,但对水稻ZH-11没有显著影响。外源MeJA降低了两株系的抗坏血酸、Rubisco及叶绿素含量,加快了叶内光合特性参数的下降速率,且对ZH-11的影响大于GI-2。因此,外源AsA处理能有效缓解乙烯利诱导的水稻叶片早衰现象,使叶片的衰老进程得以延缓,而外源MeJA作用相反。     

Hydrogen peroxide is necessary for abscisic acid-induced senescence of rice leaves

The role of H₂O₂ in abscisic acid (ABA)-induced rice leaf senescence is investigated. ABA treatment resulted in H₂O₂ production in rice leaves, which preceded the occurrence of leaf senescence. Dimethylthiourea, a chemical trap for H₂O₂, was observed to be effective in inhibiting ABA-induced senescence, ABA-increased malondialdehyde (MDA) content, ABA-increased antioxidative enzyme activities (superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase and catalase), and ABA-decreased antioxidant contents (ascorbic acid and reduced glutathione) in rice leaves. Diphenyleneiodonium chloride (DPI) and imidazole (IMD), inhibitors of NADPH oxidase, and KCN and NaN₃, inhibitors of peroxidase, prevented ABA-induced H₂O₂ production, suggesting NADPH oxidase and peroxidase are H₂O₂-generating enzymes in ABA-treated rice leaves. DPI, IMD, KCN, and NaN₃ also inhibited ABA-promoted senescence, ABA-increased MDA contents, ABA-increased antioxidative enzyme activities, and ABA-decreased antioxidants in rice leaves. These results suggest that H₂O₂ is involved in ABA-induced senescence of rice leaves.     

Growth deficiency of a Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae fur mutant in rice leaves is rescued by ascorbic acid supplementation

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae causes bacterial leaf blight, a serious disease of rice. A mutation was isolated in the ferric uptake regulator (fur) gene of X. oryzae pv. oryzae and it was shown to result in the production of siderophores in a constitutive manner. The fur mutant is hypersensitive to the metallo-antibiotic streptonigrin, a phenotype that is indicative of intracellular free-iron overload, and also exhibits a slow growth phenotype on rich medium. The fur mutant is virulence deficient, hypersensitive to hydrogen peroxide, and exhibits reduced catalase activity. Exogenous supplementation with ascorbic acid (an antioxidant) rescues the growth deficiency of the fur mutant in rice leaves. The virulence deficiency of the X. oryzae pv. oryzae fur mutant is proposed to be due, at least in part, to an impaired ability to cope with the oxidative stress conditions that are encountered during infection.     

Role of oxidative stress, mitochondrial membrane potential, and calcium homeostasis in nickel sulfate-induced human lymphocyte death in vitro

When isolated human lymphocytes were treated in vitro with various concentrations of nickel sulfate (NiSO4) (0-4 mM) at 37 degrees C for 4 h, both concentration- and time-dependent effects of NiSO4 on lymphocyte death were observed. Increased generation of hydrogen peroxide, depletion of both nonprotein and protein sulfhydryl contents, and lipid peroxidation were induced by NiSO4. NiSO4-induced lymphocyte death was significantly prevented by pre-treatment with either catalase, or dimethylthiourea/mannitol, or deferoxamine, or excess glutathione/N-acetylcysteine. Cotreatment with cyclosporin A (a specific inhibitor of mitochondrial membrane potential) not only inhibited NiSO4-induced mitochondrial membrane potential, but also significantly prevented Ni compound-induced lymphocyte death. NiSO4-induced lymphocyte death was also significantly prevented by modulating intracellular calcium fluxes using both Ca2+ channel blockers and intracellular Ca2+ antagonist. Thus, the mechanism of NiSO4-induced activation of lymphocyte death signalling pathways involves not only the excess generation of different types of oxidative stress but also NiSO4-induced loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and destabilization of cellular calcium homeostasis as well.     

Nitric oxide alleviates manganese toxicity by preventing oxidative stress in excised rice leaves

In the present study, we have investigated the effects of nitric oxide (NO) on alleviating manganese (Mn)-induced oxidative stress in rice leaves. Exogenous MnCl₂ treatment to excised rice leaves for 24 and 48 h resulted in increased production of H₂O₂ and lipid peroxides, decline in the levels of antioxidants, glutathione and ascorbic acid, and increased activities of antioxidative enzymes, superoxide dismutase, guaiacol peroxidase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, dehydroascorbate reductase, and glutathione reductase. Treatment of rice leaves with 100 μM sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a NO donor, was effective in reducing Mn-induced increased levels of H₂O₂, lipid peroxides and increased activities of antioxidative enzymes. The levels of reduced ascorbate and glutathione were considerably recovered due to SNP treatment. The effect of SNP was reversed by the addition of NO scavenger, 2-(4-carboxy-2-phenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-imidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (c-PTIO) suggesting that ameliorating effect of SNP is due to release of NO. The results indicate that MnCl₂ induces oxidative stress in excised rice leaves, lowers the levels of reduced ascorbate and glutathione, and elevates activities of the key antioxidative enzymes. NO appears to provide a protection to the rice leaves against Mn-induced oxidative stress and that exogenous NO application could be advantageous in combating the deleterious effects of Mn-toxicity in rice plants.     

Cloning and Analysis of a cDNA Encoding psbL and psbJ Gene in Rice Chloroplast Genome

A 505 bp cDNA was cloned from the leaves of rice ( Oryza sativa L.) Shanyou 63 combination. DNA sequence analysis showed that it is a part of rice chloroplast genome. Its homology comparison with those known in GenBank found that it encodes 38 amino acid peptide deduced from psbL gene and 40 amino acid peptide deduced from psbJ gene in rice chloroplast PSⅡ. Northern hybridization showed that the cDNA was differentially displayed in hybrid F1 and its parental lines.
