不同盐胁迫对柳枝稷生物量、品质和光合生理的影响

为明确不同盐胁迫对柳枝稷生物量、品质及光合生理的影响,以无盐胁迫作为对照(CK),选取0.40%Na Cl、0.80%Na2SO4和0.80%Na HCO3进行了土柱试验。结果表明:(1)与CK相比,Na Cl、Na2SO4、Na HCO3胁迫下柳枝稷地上生物量、地下生物量、总生物量、籽粒产量及根冠比均显著降低(P0.05),总生物量分别降低49.39%、60.52%、76.45%,Na HCO3对柳枝稷的生长抑制作用最强,Na Cl最弱;(2)Na Cl胁迫下柳枝稷地上生物质灰分含量显著增高14.89%,Na2SO4胁迫下硫(S)含量显著增高262.32%,纤维素含量显著降低13.71%,Na HCO3胁迫下钾(K)含量显著增高54.95%,半纤维素含量显著增高10.87%,灰分和S含量的增高不利于柳枝稷地上生物质的燃烧利用,纤维素含量的降低和半纤维素含量的增高不利于其转化利用;(3)Na Cl、Na2SO4、Na HCO3胁迫下柳枝稷叶片净光合速率(Pn)分别显著降低21.89%、29.54%和24.59%,气孔限制因素可能是其光合作用受到抑制、生物量下降的关键因素。

Effects of salt stress and rhizobial inoculation on growth and nitrogen fixation of three peanut cultivars

Increasing soil salinity represents a major constraint for agriculture in arid and semi‐arid lands, where mineral nitrogen (N) deficiency is also a frequent characteristic of soils. Biological N fixation by legumes may constitute a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilisation in salinity‐affected areas, provided that adapted cultivars and inoculants are available. Here, the performance of three peanut cultivars nodulated with two different rhizobial strains that differ in their salt tolerance was evaluated under moderately saline water irrigation and compared with that of N‐fertilised plants. Shoot weight was used as an indicator of yield. Under non‐saline conditions, higher yields were obtained using N fertilisation rather than inoculation for all the varieties tested. However, under salt stress, the yield of inoculated plants became comparable to that of N‐fertilised plants, with minor differences depending on the peanut cultivar and rhizobial strain. Our results indicate that N fixation might represent an economical, competitive and environmentally friendly choice with respect to mineral N fertilisation for peanut cultivation under moderate saline conditions.

Effect of extreme salt concentrations on the physiology and biochemistry of Halobacteroides acetoethylicus.

Halobacteroides acetoethylicus grew in media with 6 to 20% NaCl and displayed optimal growth at 10% NaCl. When grown in medium with an [NaCl] of 1.7 M, the internal cytoplasmic [Na+] and [Cl-] were 0.92 and 1.2 M, respectively, while K+ and Mg2+ concentrations in cells were 0.24 and 0.02 M, respectively. Intracellular [Na+] was fourfold higher than intracellular [K+]. Since Na+ and Cl- ions were not excluded from the cell, the influence of high salt concentrations on key enzyme activities was investigated in crude cell extracts. Activities greater than 60% of the maximal activity of the following key catabolic enzymes occurred at the following [NaCl] ranges: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, 1 to 2 M; alcohol dehydrogenase (NAD linked), 2 to 4 M; pyruvate dehydrogenase, 0.5 to 1 M; and hydrogenase (methyl viologen linked), 0.5 to 3 M. These studies support the hypothesis that obligately halophilic, anaerobic eubacteria adapt to extreme salt concentrations differently than do halophilic, aerobic eubacteria, because they do not produce osmoregulants or exclude Cl-. This study also demonstrated that these halophilic, anaerobic eubacteria have a physiological similarity to archaebacterial halophiles, since Na+ and Cl- are present in high concentrations and are required for enzymatic activity.

Calcium can moderate changes on membrane structure and lipid composition in cowpea plants under salt stress

The effects of supplemental Ca²⁺ on membrane integrity and lipid composition of cowpea plants submitted to salt stress (75 mM NaCl) were evaluated. The experimental design was factorial (2 × 6 + 1) corresponding to six saline treatments supplemented with CaCl₂ and six saline treatments supplemented with CaSO₄, both at 0.5, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 mM, plus control treatment (plants grown in half-strength Hoagland’s nutrient solution without supplemental calcium addition). Samples of leaves and root tips were analyzed for total lipid, glycolipid and fatty acid contents and membrane damage symptoms. Salt stress greatly reduced total lipid content in leaves and roots and caused great damage to membrane structures. In leaves, the glycolipid content was differently influenced by calcium treatments. Moreover, salinity increased the saturated/unsaturated fatty acid ratio in leaves and an increase in the concentration of calcium intensified this response. In roots, only saturated fatty acids were detected and their content was strongly influenced by salinity and very little by calcium treatments. Supplemental Ca²⁺ was unable to ameliorate the negative effects of salinity on the structural integrity and fluidity of plant membranes in cowpea.     

Effects of saline and osmotic stress on proline and sugar accumulation in Populus euphratica in vitro

The use of in vitro shoot cultures to evaluate osmotic and salt tolerance and the effects of salt and mannitol in the medium on proline and sugar accumulation were investigated in two poplar species, P. euphratica and P. alba cv. Pyramidalis × P. tomentosa. Shoot length, leaf number, whole plant dry weight, and the accumulation of proline and total soluble sugars in leaves were quantified after 2 weeks. All P. euphratica plantlets survived at all levels of mannitol and NaCl, while the mortality of P. alba cv. Pyramidalis × P. tomentosa increased both at the mannitol and the NaCl treatments. A significant increase in proline accumulation was observed in both young and mature P. euphratica leaves at 200 mM mannitol and above, and at 150 mM NaCl and above. The total soluble sugar content increased in young P. euphratica leaves at 250 mM NaCl; however, it decreased in the mature leaves. Similar increases of the total soluble sugar content were not seen in P. alba cv. Pyramidalis × P. tomentosa plants in response to either mannitol or NaCl treatment. Our results suggest that accumulated proline and sugars promote osmotic and salt tolerance. The effects of accumulated proline and total soluble sugars on leaves are discussed in relation to growth and osmotic adjustment. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

FT-IR spectroscopic evidence of sugar ring conformational changes in GpC and CpG on platination and intercalation

An FT-IR spectroscopic study concerning changes in the conformation of sugar in the dinucleotides; GpC and CpG, on platination and intercalation is presented. The results are compared with the FT-IR spectral data of 5′-CMP, 5′-GMP, 3′-GMP and their metal adducts. The spectra of free GpC, free CpG, proflavine-GpC, proflavine-CpG, and cis-[Pt(NH₃)₂(GpC)₂]²⁺ exhibit the diagnostic band at 800 cm⁻¹ which was assigned to a sugar phosphate vibrational mode and diagnostic of C3′-endo sugar pucker. In the case of 9-aminoacridine-GpC and cis-[Pt(NH₃)₂(CpG]⁺ the diagnostic bands of the C2′-endo and C3′-endo conformations are observed at 810–820 cm⁻¹ and near 800 cm⁻¹ respectively. The results are in good agreement with X-ray data. The infrared diagnostic bands are important for distinguishing the sugar pucker conformational changes.     

Effects of rhizobia inoculation and nitrogen fertilization on photosynthetic physiology of soybean

Plant growth, contents of photosynthetic pigments, photosynthetic gas exchange, and chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Heinong37] were investigated after it was inoculated with Sinorhizobium fredii USDA191 or treated with 5 mM (NH₄)₂SO₄ (N5) and 30 mM (NH₄)₂SO₄ (N30), respectively. In the plants following N5 fertilization, not only plant biomass, leaf area, and Chl content, but also net photosynthetic rate (P _N), stomatal conductance (g _s), carboxylation efficiency (CE), maximum photochemical efficiency (F_v/F_m) of photosystem 2 (PS2), and quantum yield of PS2 (Φ_PS2) were markedly improved as compared with the control plants. There were also positive effects on plant growth and plant photosynthesis after rhizobia inoculation, but the effects were much less than those of N5 fertilization. For N30 plants there were no significant positive effects on plant growth and photosynthetic capacity. Plant biomass, P _N, and g _s were similar to those of N-limited (control) plants. Φ_PS2 and photochemical quenching (q_P) were obviously declined while content of carotenoids and non-photochemical quenching (q_N) were significantly enhanced in N30 treated plants. This indicated that excess N supply may cause some negative effects on soybean plants.     

接种土壤微生物对铜胁迫下海州香薷生长及光合生理的影响

采用框栽试验方法,模拟Cu胁迫条件下,探讨接种土壤微生物对海州香薷(Elsholtzia splendens)生长和光合生理的影响。结果表明:(1)在Cu胁迫下,海州香薷株数、株高、基径、生物量、茎重比均显著低于对照;与Cu胁迫相比,接种土壤微生物能显著缓解Cu胁迫对海州香薷生长的抑制作用,使植株的株数、株高、生物量、茎重比显著提高。Cu胁迫下,接种土壤微生物均降低了植株体内不同器官Cu含量,茎和叶Cu的累积量显著减少,但对其它器官的Cu含量影响不显著。(2)秋季,各处理的海州香薷的净光合速率(Pn)日变化均呈"单峰"曲线,接种土壤微生物显著提高了Cu胁迫下海州香薷的日均Pn、日均蒸腾速率(Tr),而日均气孔导度(Gs)、日均胞间CO2浓度(Ci)显著降低。(3)Cu胁迫下,接种土壤微生物显著提高了植株的最大净光合速率(Pnmax)、光饱和点(LSP)、表观量子效率(AQY)、最大羧化速率(Vcmax)、最大电子传递速率(Jmax)、磷酸丙糖利用率(TPU),且使光补偿点(LCP)显著降低。表明接种土壤微生物通过提高光能利用率、利用弱光和碳同化能力来增强光合作用能力及有机物的积累,缓解Cu胁迫对海州香薷的毒害。因此,接种土壤微生物可促进Cu胁迫下海州香薷的生长,在重金属污染土壤的植物修复中具有较好的应用潜力。     

不同形态氮素配比对盐胁迫下菊芋幼苗生理的影响

采用砂培方法研究了不同铵硝配比(NH4+/NO3-分别为4/1、1/1、1/4)的氮素营养和盐分胁迫耦合作用下菊芋幼苗的光合作用和离子吸收运输.结果表明:低浓度的盐胁迫对植物生长的抑制作用不大,而高浓度的盐胁迫却能明显抑制菊芋幼苗生物量的积累,在同一盐浓度下,提高硝态氮比例能够缓解盐胁迫对菊芋幼苗生长的抑制,促进菊芋幼苗鲜重和干重的增加;随着盐浓度的增加,菊芋幼苗地上部和地下部的Na+含量显著增加,而K+、Ca2+含量较对照显著降低,提高硝态氮比例有利于菊芋幼苗对K+和Ca2+的吸收和向上运输,从而维持地上部较高的K+/Na+和Ca2+/Na+;在3种铵硝比的氮素营养处理下,随着盐浓度的增加,菊芋幼苗叶片叶绿素含量、净光合速率、蒸腾速率、气孔导度和水分利用效率较对照均呈显著下降的趋势,细胞间隙CO2浓度则显著增加,提高硝态氮比例可显著提高盐胁迫下菊芋幼苗的叶绿素含量、净光合速率、蒸腾速率、气孔导度和水分利用效率,同时也能显著降低胞间CO2浓度,其中以铵硝比为1/4的氮素营养供应对盐胁迫的缓解作用相对较好,在100 mmol·L-1NaCl处理下其叶片叶绿素含量、净光合速率、蒸腾速率、气孔导度和水分利用效率分别是铵硝比为4/1的氮素营养处理值的1.63、1.57、1.39、1.37、1.2倍,而胞间CO2浓度则减少了17%.因此相对于铵态氮来说,硝态氮比例的增加有利于维持盐胁迫下菊芋幼苗体内矿质营养元素含量平衡,促进盐胁迫下菊芋光合功能的改善,增强菊芋对盐胁迫的抗性.

In vitro water stress bioassays with the nematophagous fungus Pochonia chlamydosporia: Effects on growth and parasitism

The biocontrol potential of Pochonia chlamydosporia, a fungus with parasitic activity against economically important plant-parasitic nematodes, can be influenced by abiotic factors such as water availability. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different water stress regimes on in vitro growth, sporulation, germination and parasitism of P. chlamydosporia isolates. The osmotic water potential of 1.7% corn meal agar (CMA) was modified by addition of potassium chloride (KCl) or glycerol, and the matric water potential was modified using polyethylene glycol (PEG 8000). The fungus was able to grow over a range of potentials but radial growth rates decreased with the increase of osmotic and matric stress. No growth was observed at −10 MPa on 1.7% CMA amended with glycerol and at −7.1 MPa on medium with PEG 8000 but all isolates were able to resume growth when transferred onto unmodified 1.7% CMA. The production of chlamydospores was repressed in both osmotic and matric modified media. Although the production of conidia increased in medium modified with KCl, the germination rate was lower. Spores/hyphal fragments remained viable in all isolates that were previously inoculated onto media with growth-limiting water potential (−10 MPa on 1.7% CMA amended with glycerol and −10 MPa on medium with PEG 8000). The percentage of viable conidia produced on 1.7% CMA, after inoculation under osmotic or matric stress conditions for 25 days, was over 74.5% in all isolates (osmotic stress) and ranged from 1% (Pc1) to 65.8% (Pc280) (matric stress). The in vitro infection of potato cyst nematodes, Globodera rostochiensis eggs by P. chlamydosporia isolates, grown under these limiting conditions, was studied using a standard bioassay. The percentage of parasitized eggs was significantly higher under osmotic stress except for isolates Pc2 and Pc3. P. chlamydosporia spores/hyphal fragments can remain viable at water potentials limiting for growth, for prolonged periods of time, suggesting that the osmoregulation mechanisms, used to compensate water stress, affect in vitro sporulation and increased pathogenicity. Knowledge on water requirements of P. chlamydosporia enables a better understanding of its survival and growth strategies in the soil environment and could aid the development of effective strategies to increase the production and quality of inoculum, thus contributing to the implementation of biosafe, sustainable management strategies against plant-parasitic nematodes.
