Aquaporin JcPIP2 is involved in drought responses in Jatropha curcas

Water channel proteins, aquaporins, play fundamental roles in transmembrane water movements in plants. A new full-length cDNA encoding aquaporin was isolated from the seedlings of Jatropha curcas. The gene of the plasma membrane intrinsic protein （PIP） from J. curcas （JcPIP2） contained an 843 bp open reading frame encoding a protein of 280 amino acids. The amino acid sequence showed 94% identity with Ricinus communis PIP. Injection of JcPIP2 complementary RNA into Xenopus oocytes increased 10-fold the osmotic water permeability of the oocytes. Immunodetection of JcPIP2 with anti-JcPIP2 antibody indicated that this protein is ubiquitously located in all tested tissues of the plant. To investigate the relationship between aquaporins and drought resistance in J. curcas, the abundance of JcPIP2 was examined in seedlings of two J. curcas populations, GaoYou CSC63 and YanBian S 1, under water deficit with PEG6000. Under field conditions, those two populations, GaoYou CSC63 was resistant to water deficit, but YanBian S 1 was sensitive to water deprivation. With the increasing degree of drought stress, JcPIP2 level increased in seedlings of GaoYou CSC63, whereas there was no significant change in seedlings of YanBian S 1. Compared with YanBian S 1, GaoYou CSC63 also showed higher root hydraulic conductivity and lower decreasing trend in the seed- lings under water deficit. These results indicated that JcPIP2 probably played a role in drought resistance in J. curcas.     

Structure prediction and binding sites analysis of curcin protein of Jatropha curcas using computational approaches

Ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) are defense proteins in a number of higher-plant species that are directly targeted toward herbivores. Jatropha curcas is one of the biodiesel plants having RIPs. The Jatropha seed meal, after extraction of oil, is rich in curcin, a highly toxic RIP similar to ricin, which makes it unsuitable for animal feed. Although the toxicity of curcin is well documented in the literature, the detailed toxic properties and the 3D structure of curcin has not been determined by X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy or any in silico techniques to date. In this pursuit, the structure of curcin was modeled by a composite approach of 3D structure prediction using threading and ab initio modeling. Assessment of model quality was assessed by methods which include Ramachandran plot analysis and Qmean score estimation. Further, we applied the protein-ligand docking approach to identify the r-RNA binding residue of curcin. The present work provides the first structural insight into the binding mode of r-RNA adenine to the curcin protein and forms the basis for designing future inhibitors of curcin. Cloning of a future peptide inhibitor within J. curcas can produce non-toxic varieties of J. curcas, which would make the seed-cake suitable as animal feed without curcin detoxification.

Isolation of novel microsatellites from Jatropha curcas L. and their cross-species amplification

Jatropha curcas L., a member of the Euphorbiaceae, is widely distributed in different parts of the globe. In the present study, 12 microsatellites were isolated from J. curcas and their cross-species amplification was checked in six species of genus Jatropha. Within J. curcas, observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.94 to 0.54 and from 0.95 to 0.56, respectively. Of the 12 loci, five showed significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. There was no significant linkage disequilibrium detected between any of the loci. The markers isolated in the present investigation will be useful for assessing the population diversity and genetic structure of J. curcas and also in other species of Jatropha.

氮离子注入对麻疯树幼苗抗氧化能力的影响

本文分析了能量为25kev的不同剂量N^＋对麻疯树种子萌发和幼苗的抗氧化能力的影响。结果表明N^＋注入降低了麻疯树种子的发芽率和成苗率以及幼苗的SOD和APX活性和MDA含量,增强了CAT活性。6×10^16-9×10^16N^＋·cm^2的剂量增加了还原型抗坏血酸含量,12×10^16-15×10^16N^＋·cm^2的剂量降低了总抗氧化能力,但增强了POD活性。18×10^16N^＋·cm^2可能是能量为25kev的N^＋诱变麻疯树干种子的合适剂量。     

Smooth muscle relaxant evaluation of Jatropha Curcas Linn (Euphorbiaceae) and isolation of triterpenes

Jatropha curcas is a herbal preparation used in the tropics for the treatment of threatened abortion and related problems associated with pregnancy. The Stem bark of Jatropha curcas is used ethno medicinally in Nigeria especially in the eastern part of the country for the treatment of infertility and spontaneous abortion (miscarriage). The present study was undertaken in order to validate the folkloric claim, using scientific experimental procedures and bioassay guided fractionation. The crude powdered sample was subjected to phytochemical screening testing for the presence of alkaloids, tannins, saponins and carbohydrates. Chromatographic analysis (TLC and VLC) were carried out using various solvent systems. The effect of methanolic extracts on rat uterine contractions was studied in vitro, in 40ml organ baths containing physiological salt solution of De Jalon maintained at 370C, aerated with 95% O2 and 5% CO2 with an isometric transducer connected an UgoBasile recorder under a resting tension of 750mg. The result of the phytochemical screening revealed the presence of glycosides, tannins, saponins and alkaloids. The extract abolished significantly the spontaneous contraction of the uterus and reduced acetylcholine induced uterine contractions at a dose of 50mg/ml. The tocolytic effects indicate the presence of active principle(s) which would explain the ethno medicinal use of the stem bark of Jatropha curcas to treat spontaneous abortion.     

镉胁迫下麻疯树转录组测序分析

麻疯树是一种能适应多种恶劣环境条件的能源植物,目前关于其抵抗重金属胁迫的分子调控机理尚不清楚。从组学水平整体分析其基因表达模式对于筛选关键基因、解析镉胁迫响应调控网络和促进分子育种具有重要意义。利用Illumina测序技术对水培条件下培养的处理组(Cd 100)和对照组(CK)麻疯树幼苗叶的转录组进行高通量测序,两个数据库的测序数据经de novo组装得到50448条高质量的Unigene。两个样品中发现了2551条差异表达基因,其中539条上调基因,2012条下调基因。根据不同数据库的注释信息,发现麻疯树镉胁迫引起叶片中多种代谢途径的变化,包括碳代谢,光合作用,植物激素信号转导以及植物病原响应途径。DAVID分析显示镉胁迫引起了麻疯树叶中与离子转运相关基因的变化,导致叶片中Na离子和铁离子稳态的变化。转录因子分析发现WRKY和ZIP在镉胁迫中发挥重要作用。用qRT-PCR技术对随机挑选的5个基因进行荧光定量验证,结果与测序数据一致,证实了差异表达基因数据的有效性。深入探讨了麻疯树镉胁迫的分子机理,为进一步应用于基因工程和植物修复提供基础。     

土壤水、氮供应对麻疯树幼苗光合特性的影响

在盆栽半控制试验中, 采用两因素的随机区组设计, 在3个土壤水分梯度(分别为80%、50%和30%的田间持水量(FC))下研究了施氮肥和不施氮肥处理麻疯树(Jatropha curcas)幼苗的光合特性。比较了不同水分和氮素供应条件下麻疯树幼苗的光合-光响应和CO₂响应曲线、PSII的最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m)、氮含量和光合色素含量之间的差异。结果表明: 1)施氮肥处理中, 随着土壤水分含量的增加, 叶片表观量子效率(AQY)、光补偿点、最大净光合速率、羧化效率、光呼吸速率、暗呼吸速率和叶片氮含量均呈现增加的趋势, 而且均在80% FC下最高。2)不施氮肥处理中, 随着土壤水分含量的增加, 麻疯树各光合参数均与施氮肥处理呈现相反的变化趋势。3)在30% FC下, 施氮肥处理和不施氮肥处理相比, 氮含量显著增加, AQY、F_v/F_m、光合色素含量无显著的变化, 其他各项指标均显著降低。这些结果表明, 水氮耦合效应对麻疯树光合特性有显著影响, 尤其是在80% FC下增施氮肥的效果最为明显。因此, 在土壤氮素含量不高的情况下, 麻疯树更适宜在较低的土壤水分下生长, 土壤水分较高反而不利于麻疯树的光合作用; 而如果增施氮肥, 麻疯树在土壤水分含量较高时生长更好。     

Preliminary Study on Development,Germination and Desiccation Tolerance of Jatropha curcas (Euphorbiaceae)

The developmental changes in morphology and germinability of Jatropha curcas seeds, effects of temperature and light on seed germination , and changes in desiccation tolerance of mature seeds were studied in this paper.
