氮离子束对小麦种子不同部位作用的突变效应

本文描述了荷能重离子束（^14氮^1 和^14氮^7 ）在作物改良上的应用。为了探讨离子束轰击小麦种子不同部位（例如：种皮,种胚和整粒种籽,包括胚乳、胚和种皮）后的不同反应,采用了不同能量的氮离子。轰击不同部位是通过改变离子能量来实现的。在这个研究中,我们选择了三种能量以达到轰击不同部位的目的,它们是超低能区的110keV,低能区的15．7MeV/u和中能区的72MeV/u.根据TRIM 91程序计算,它们在种子内的射程依次为0．44μm,0.61mm和9.6mm。所以,110keV的离子不能贯穿种皮,因为它的厚度72μm,只能极浅层注入种皮而不能触及胚细胞（称这种情况为轰击部位1）,15．7MeV/u的离子能够贯穿种皮并注入胚内（厚度约1mm),但不能进入胚乳（称这为轰击部位2）,72MeV/u的离子能从种子的胚部到顶部贯穿整个麦粒（麦粒长约7mm)（称这为轰击部位3）。上述三种能量的氮离子辐照了三个品种（定西24、88－12、82－579）的春小麦种子。而后进行了室内实验和大田培育,得到了50％出苗率时的剂量D50,统计了上述三个轰击部位下根尖细胞中的微核率及染色体畸变率,大田中产生了一些新的变异,例如增产（达百分之几十）,早熟（五天左右）,矮杆（低约20cm),抗（条锈）病,并且显示了轰击不同部位的突变频率与突变谱,还简略地讨论了三种情况的突变机理。     

桃儿七种子休眠解除过程中细胞壁代谢及种皮超微结构的变化北大核心CSCD

为探究低温层积过程中桃儿七种子细胞壁代谢及种皮超微结构与休眠解除的内在联系,该研究通过低温层积解除桃儿七种子休眠,分析休眠解除过程中种子不同部位细胞壁组分及相关代谢酶的变化,同时利用扫描电镜对种皮的超微结构进行观察。结果表明,(1)桃儿七种皮主要由角质层、栅状石细胞层及海绵组织层3层构成,在层积过程中,种皮内部的海绵组织逐步疏松膨胀,种皮表面破损加剧;(2)种子不同部位的细胞壁组分具有明显差异,整个层积过程中,种胚、种皮和胚乳中的纤维素含量均在层积中期(45 d和60 d)降至最低,3个部位的纤维素酶活性在层积中期对应升高;种胚和种皮内的半纤维素含量均在层积中期显著下降,种皮中甘露聚糖酶活性和木糖苷酶活性在层积中期时相应达到最大;3个部位的果胶含量均在层积后期(75 d和90 d)时显著下降,而种皮和胚乳中多聚半乳糖醛缩酶活性也在层积后期相应升高;(3)种胚和胚乳内过氧化物酶活性在层积75 d和90 d时明显下降,而SOD活性在此时显著上升。(4)种子不同部位3种木质素单体的组成比例具有明显区别,同时3种木质素单体含量均随层积时间的延长而显著降低,且胚乳和种皮中的S-木质素含量对种子萌发存在显著的负向影响关系。研究认为,在低温层积过程中,桃儿七种子内细胞壁组分纤维素、半纤维素及木质素的逐步酶解,活性氧作用下的细胞壁松弛以及海绵组织层的疏松膨胀和种皮的破裂,破坏了细胞壁的刚性结构,促使种子机械束缚力降低,吸水性能提高、胚根生长能力增强,最终导致其休眠解除。     

荔枝胚蛋白质的提取方法

以不同体积的Tris-HCl(0.1mol／L,pH8．8)为提取液,结合不同含量(以胚鲜重计)的PVP40,对怀枝、黑叶和桂味等荔枝(Lithi chinensis)品种的胚蛋白质进行提取。结果表明,提取液体积为胚鲜重的5倍(ml g-1 FW),并加入15％的 PVP40时,提取蛋白质的效果最好,可用于荔枝胚可溶性蛋白质含量的测定;胚乳蛋白质的提取则以等体积的提取液(内含2％的PVP40)为佳。加入10% PVP40的胚蛋白提取液可直接进行SDS-PAGE电泳,用10倍于蛋白质提取液体积的乙醇沉淀胚和胚乳的蛋白提取液,可得到最佳的SDS-PAGE电泳效果。     

He-Ne激光和增强UV-B辐射对小麦幼苗蛋白质代谢的影响

采用He-Ne激光(5 mW.mm-2)和增强UV-B(10.08 kJ.m-2.d-1)辐照‘晋麦8号’小麦幼苗,5 d后测定各处理组小麦叶片的蛋白酶、转氨酶活性以及可溶性蛋白质含量与组成的变化。结果显示,增强UV-B辐射使小麦叶片蛋白酶活性极显著升高,转氨酶活性降低,可溶性蛋白质含量极显著下降,蛋白质谱带增加;单独He-Ne激光处理使蛋白酶活性下降,转氨酶活性升高,可溶性蛋白质含量增加,对蛋白质条带影响不明显;与单独UV-B辐射相比,经He-Ne激光辐照和UV-B辐射复合处理后,蛋白酶的活性明显降低,转氨酶的活性增加,可溶性蛋白质含量增加,并且使UV-B辐射诱导出的新带减弱或消失。研究发现,增强UV-B辐射能减弱小麦幼苗蛋白代谢中正常基因的表达,但又激活了一些抗性基因的表达而诱导产生新的胁迫蛋白;一定剂量的He-Ne激光辐照可解除UV-B对小麦幼苗正常基因表达的抑制而使其蛋白质代谢加强。     

低温和GA3对凤丹种子萌发及碳氮代谢物和内源激素含量的影响

研究了低温(4℃)和300 mg·L-1GA3对凤丹(Paeonia suffruticosa‘Fengdan’)种子萌发过程中子叶、上胚轴和叶原基形态及种胚中碳氮代谢物(包括淀粉、可溶性糖和可溶性蛋白质)和内源激素(包括ZR、IAA、ABA和GA)含量的影响。结果表明:GA3处理后第11天凤丹种子上胚轴萌发,且形态细长;经低温处理后第27天上胚轴萌发,且形态较粗壮。低温处理后种子萌发的幼苗叶片较大、株高居中、根系发育较好、须根多且长,生长状况总体上优于对照和GA3处理组。与处理后第3天相比,对照和低温处理后第27天以及GA3处理后第11天,种胚中淀粉、可溶性糖、ZR、IAA和GA含量升高,ABA含量降低;而对照和低温处理后第27天种胚中可溶性蛋白质含量降低,GA3处理后第11天可溶性蛋白质含量无显著变化。各处理组凤丹种子蛋白质电泳条带的相对分子质量多集中在12 000~80 000,在对照和低温处理后第27天蛋白质条带颜色均较处理后第11天略深,但条带数量不变。研究结果显示:低温及GA3处理均可导致凤丹种胚中碳氮代谢物和内源激素含量变化,促进种胚发育及上胚轴生长,但低温处理更有利于上胚轴萌发及幼苗生长。

Endosperm protein of wheat seed as a determinant of seedling growth

Seed of a Mexican semidwarf wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Inia 66), was obtained from a nitrogen fertilizer field trial grown in Mexico. A high positive correlation was obtained between seed protein content and seedling dry weight after 3 weeks growth (r = +0.92^**). The seedling dry weight was positively related to the protein content of the aleurone layer and endosperm, but not to the embryo. Small, 35 milligrams, high protein seeds (4.7 milligrams protein per seed) produced larger seedlings than large, 45 milligrams, low protein seeds (4.3 milligram protein per seed). There was no difference in the weight or protein content of embryos from low and high protein seeds and their growth was similar. Composite seeds of the two protein levels were produced by transferring embryos from one endosperm type to the other. After 4 weeks, there was no difference between the different embryo types grown on the same endosperm type. High protein endosperm produced more vigorous seedlings regardless of the embryo type grown on it, indicating that the factor(s) responsible for the greater growth of high protein seed is in the endosperm.     

AAP1 regulates import of amino acids into developing Arabidopsis embryos

The embryo of Arabidopsis seeds is symplasmically isolated from the surrounding seed coat and endosperm, and uptake of nutrients from the seed apoplast is required for embryo growth and storage reserve accumulation. With the aim of understanding the importance of nitrogen (N) uptake into developing embryos, we analysed two mutants of AAP1 (At1g58360), an amino acid transporter that was localized to Arabidopsis embryos. In mature and desiccated aap1 seeds the total N and carbon content was reduced while the total free amino acid levels were strongly increased. Separately analysed embryos and seed coats/endosperm of mature seeds showed that the elevated amounts in amino acids were caused by an accumulation in the seed coat/endosperm, demonstrating that a decrease in uptake of amino acids by the aap1 embryo affects the N pool in the seed coat/endosperm. Also, the number of protein bodies was increased in the aap1 endosperm, suggesting that the accumulation of free amino acids triggered protein synthesis. Analysis of seed storage compounds revealed that the total fatty acid content was unchanged in aap1 seeds, but storage protein levels were decreased. Expression analysis of genes of seed N transport, metabolism and storage was in agreement with the biochemical data. In addition, seed weight, as well as total silique and seed number, was reduced in the mutants. Together, these results demonstrate that seed protein synthesis and seed weight is dependent on N availability and that AAP1-mediated uptake of amino acids by the embryo is important for storage protein synthesis and seed yield.

A Seed Coat Bedding Assay to Genetically Explore In Vitro How the Endosperm Controls Seed Germination in Arabidopsis thaliana

The Arabidopsis endosperm consists of a single cell layer surrounding the mature embryo and playing an essential role to prevent the germination of dormant seeds or that of nondormant seeds irradiated by a far red (FR) light pulse. In order to further gain insight into the molecular genetic mechanisms underlying the germination repressive activity exerted by the endosperm, a "seed coat bedding" assay (SCBA) was devised. The SCBA is a dissection procedure physically separating seed coats and embryos from seeds, which allows monitoring the growth of embryos on an underlying layer of seed coats. Remarkably, the SCBA reconstitutes the germination repressive activities of the seed coat in the context of seed dormancy and FR-dependent control of seed germination. Since the SCBA allows the combinatorial use of dormant, nondormant and genetically modified seed coat and embryonic materials, the genetic pathways controlling germination and specifically operating in the endosperm and embryo can be dissected. Here we detail the procedure to assemble a SCBA.     

Changes in germination, growth and soluble sugar contents of Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench seeds under various abiotic stresses

The effect of various abiotic stresses on germination rate, growth and soluble sugar content in Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench cv. CSH 6 seed embryos and endosperm during early germination was investigated. Under stress conditions germination, water potential and tissue water content decreased markedly. Subsequently, this reduction resulted in marked decreases in fresh weight both in embryos and endosperm. Conversely, a substantial increase in dry weight was observed. Furthermore, a considerable increase in the sugar contents in both embryo and endosperm was detected. The fructose level was always higher than glucose and sucrose in response to various stresses. However, as compared to the control the level of glucose and sucrose was higher in embryos and endosperm after stress treatments. Based upon these results a possible physiological role of sugars in the germination of sorghum seeds is discussed.     

Seeds of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) which develop in a fully hydrated environment in the fruit switch from a developmental to a germinative mode without a requirement for desiccation

Seed water content is high during early development of tomato seeds (10–30 d after pollination (DAP)), declines at 35 DAP, then increases slightly during fruit ripening (following 50 DAP). The seed does not undergo maturation drying. Protein content during seed development peaks at 35 DAP in the embryo, while in the endosperm it exhibits a triphasic accumulation pattern. Peaks in endosperm protein deposition correspond to changes in endosperm morphology (i.e. formation of the hard endosperm) and are largely the consequence of increases in storage proteins. Storage-protein deposition commences at 20 DAP in the embryo and endosperm; both tissues accumulate identical proteins. Embryo maturation is complete by 40 DAP, when maximum embryo protein content, size and seed dry weight are attained. Seeds are tolerant of premature drying (fast and slow drying) from 40 DAP.Thirty-and 35-DAP seeds when removed from the fruit tissue and imbibed on water, complete germination by 120 h after isolation. Only seeds which have developed to 35 DAP produce viable seedlings. The inability of isolated 30-DAP seed to form viable seedlings appears to be related to a lack of stored nutrients, since the germinability of excised embryos (20 DAP and onwards) placed on Murashige and Skoog (1962, Physiol. Plant. 15, 473–497) medium is high. The switch from a developmental to germinative mode in the excised 30- and 35-DAP imbibed seeds is reflected in the pattern of in-vivo protein synthesis. Developmental and germinative proteins are present in the embryo and endosperm of the 30- and 35-DAP seeds 12 h after their isolation from the fruit. The mature seed (60 DAP) exhibits germinative protein synthesis from the earliest time of imbibition. The fruit environment prevents precocious germination of developing seeds, since the switch from development to germination requires only their removal from the fruit tissue.Abbreviations DAP days after pollination - kDa kilodaltons - SP1-4 storage proteins 1–4 - SDS-PAGE sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - HASI hours after seed isolation - MS medium Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium This work is supported by National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada grant A2210 to J.D.B.     

银杏种子和叶的蛋白质分析

采用分级提最方法提取银杏（Ginkgo biloba L.）种子和银杏叶蛋白质,并进行各组分蛋白质含量测定和银杏种子后熟过程中蛋白质含量动态变化的分析。结果表明,银杏种子以水溶性和盐溶性蛋白质为主,银杏叶以醇溶性蛋白质为主。银杏叶中主要蛋白质在HPLC柱中的保留时间为3.457min,相对含量达70%以上。银杏叶蛋白质含有丰富的亮氨酸、缬氨酸、赖氨酸和色氨酸,其含量分别为20.23%、13.35%、4.81%和3.73%。萌发种子胚体中的蛋白质主要是醇溶性蛋白质和谷蛋白类蛋白质。在种子萌发过程中,胚乳蛋白质含量明显增加,播种后第3周和萌发时总蛋白质含量达到高峰。     

人工老化处理对结球甘蓝种子生理生化特性的影响

以结球甘蓝品种‘冬升’种子为材料,研究高温(40℃)高湿(相对湿度100%)人工老化处理过程中种子的萌发特性、种子浸出液相对电导率和丙二醛、可溶性蛋白、可溶性糖含量以及抗氧化酶活性的变化,以揭示种子劣变的机理。结果表明:(1)人工老化处理甘蓝种子的含水量和不正常苗率均随着老化时间的延长逐渐增加,而种子发芽势、发芽率、发芽指数和活力指数的增加均逐渐降低。(2)随着处理天数的延长,老化处理甘蓝种子的浸出液电导率显著增大,浸出液可溶性糖含量逐渐升高,可溶性蛋白含量表现出显著下降趋势,而种子MDA含量呈先升高后逐渐下降的趋势。(3)在结球甘蓝种子老化进程中,其种子中SOD、POD、CAT活性变化的趋势相似,均随老化程度的加深而逐渐降低;而APX活性在老化处理的最初2d显著增加,第6天显著降低。研究发现,在结球甘蓝种子老化进程中,种子活力和萌发率显著降低,其种子浸出液电导率、可溶性蛋白含量、可溶性糖含量、保护酶活性变化与种子老化及劣变程度密切相关,膜脂过氧化作用可能是引起或加剧种子老化劣变的重要原因之一。     

Activity and distribution of nitrogen-metabolism enzymes in the developing maize kernel

The activities of glutamine synthetase (EC 6.3.1.2), glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.2), aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1), alanine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.2) and soluble protein content in the developing endosperm and embryo of normal (Oh-43) and mutant (Oh-430₂) maize were investigated. Maize inbred lines were grown under field conditions and all plants were self-pollinated. Ears for experiments were harvested over the period of 15 lo 45 days after pollination. After pollination kernel capacity for soluble protein synthesis is located mainly in the endosperm. This progressively decreases and about 40 days after pollination soluble protein synthesis is taken over by the embryo. Comparative data on the activity of the investigated enzymes in the embryo and endosperm indicate that the capacity for synthesis of glutamine and glutamate predominates in the embryo tissue, whereas transamination processes at the initial stages of the embryo development are less intensive than their counterparts in the endosperm. The roles of embryo and endosperm subsequently interchange. Biosynthetic processes of soluble precursors for protein synthesis in the embryo and endosperm of the developing kernel are mutually coordinated.
