Role of Polyamines in SO2-Polluted Pea Plants

The effect of SO₂ fumigation on free and bound putrescine andspermidine has been investigated in pea plants grown in nitrate-basedand ammonium-containing nutrient solutions. Both amines increasesignificantly more in response to SO₂ fumigation when 50% ofthe nitrate nitrogen is substituted by ammonium. Amine levelsare also increased in the unfumigated, ammonium-supplied plantsrelative to the exclusively nitrate-supplied ones. Since bothSO₂ pollution and ammonium nutrition increase the H⁺ ion concentrationof the cells and cause a shift in the cation/anion ratio, itis concluded that with both treatments amines are synthesizedto bind these H⁺ ions and to compensate the relative cationdeficit. The importance of this mode of metabolic bufferingis discussed and its effectiveness calculated.     

Effect of SO2 on phloem loading

Phloem loading, measured in vivo using carbon-11, is shown to be immediately reduced when SO₂ is applied to a leaf of a C₃ plant, but no immediate effect is seen on a C₄ plant. This C₃-C₄ difference is similar to that seen with anoxia, and it is proposed that it is associated with the different anatomical structures in the vicinity of the vascular tissue, the Kranz anatomy of the C₄ plants providing a barrier so that SO₂ does not have an immediate effect on phloem loading.     

SO2 Tolerance of Tobacco Plants Regenerated from Paraquat-Tolerant Callus

To establish whether SO₂ tolerance of plants is related to theirability to defend themselves against the toxicity of activeoxygen, this study examined the SO₂ tolerance of paraquat-toleranttobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Samsun), which hadbeen regenerated from paraquattolerant callus. When the testplants, which had higher superoxide dismutase activity thanthe control ones, were fumigated with 2ppm SO₂, they showedtolerance, while the control ones suffered severe damages. Theseresults indicate that SO₂ toxicity in plants is caused by activeoxygen and that superoxide dismutase participates in counteractingSO₂ toxicity.

The Protective Effect of Phosphate Buffer on SO2 Harmed Wheat Seedling

When 1/15 mol/L of phosphate buffer at pH 6. 4, was used to spray wheat seedling three times, the plasmolemma structure become stabilized and k+ efflux was decreased. After fumigation with SO2 the K+ efflux of wheat seedling ,sprayed with phosphate buffer, decreased markedly. At SO2 dosage of 1.54 ppm × 4h, the decreasing rate of K+ efflux was 54. 11%–81.29% and the decrease rate was in concert with the increase of SO2 dosage. Therefore, the authors consider that the phosphate buffer, at pH 6.4, has a good protective effect against SO2 insult.     

The Effect of Plants on Mineral Weathering

This paper is centered on the specific effects of plants on the soil weathering environment; we attempt to address how to quantify this component of the ecosystem and assess feedbacks between plants and weathering processes that influence the degree and rates of mineral weathering. The basic processes whereby plants directly influence the soil chemical environment is through the generation of weathering agents, biocycling of cations, and the production of biogenic minerals. Plants may indirectly influence soil processes through the alteration of regional hydrology and local soil hydrologic regime which determines the residence time of water available for weathering. We provide a brief review of the current state of knowledge regarding the effects of plants on mineral weathering and critical knowledge gaps are highlighted. We summarize approaches that may be used to help quantify the effects of plants on soil weathering such as state factor analyses, mass balance approaches, laboratory batch experiments and isotopic techniques. We assess the changes in the soil chemical environment along a tropical bioclimatic gradient and identify the possible effects of plant production on the soil mineralogical composition. We demonstrate that plants are important in the transfer of atmospheric carbon dioxide into the mineral weathering cycle and speculate how this may be related to ecosystem properties such as NPP. In the soils of Hawaiian rainforests subjected to deforestation, pasture grasses appear to change the proportion of non crystalline to crystalline minerals by altering the soil hydrologic regime or partitioning silica into more stable biogenic forms. A better understanding of the relationship between soil weathering processes and ecosystem productivity will assist in the construction predictive models capable of evaluating the sensitivity of biogeochemical cycles to perturbations.     

Effect of SO2 on control of breathing in anesthetized cats

In seven anesthetized tracheotomized cats we studied the acute respiratory effects of SO2 inhalation at different steady-state levels of arterial CO2 tension (Paco2). During room air breathing, SO2 (0.05%) addition caused a progressive reduction in tidal volume (VT) and increases in both respiratory frequency (f) and pulmonary resistance (RL). Atropine sulfate abolished the bronchoconstriction response to SO2 and thus permitted the study of the influence of SO2 on VT and f in the absence of constricted airways. Despite marked reductions in the VT VS. PaCO2 relationships with SO2 exposure after atropine, the relationship between pulmonary ventilation (VE) and PaCO2 was not signifcantly altered. This was the case since SO2 caused solely a reduction in inspiratory duration (Ti), affecting neither the mean rate of rise of inspiratory activity (i.e., VT/Ti) nor the relationship between Ti and breath duration. Thus, airways irritation with SO2 produced rapid, shallow breathing characterized by a shortening of inspiratory and total respiratory cycle times with no change in the rate of development of inspiratory activity. The findings suggest an influence exclusively concerned with the timing of inspiration. Perhaps premature onset of inspiratory activity accounts for the observed effects.     

Improvement of photoluminescence of Cu+ ion in Li2SO4

The synthesis of the Li₂SO₄: Cu phosphor using a wet chemical method is reported here. The XRD technique showed the crystalline nature of the prepared material. The presence of Na and K in the host affected the observed photoluminescence characteristics of Li₂SO₄: Cu. Photoluminsecent emission spectra of Li₂SO₄: Cu phosphor showed a very strong prominet peak at 387 nm in the indigo region due to 3d⁹ 4 s¹ ? 3d¹⁰ transition of the Cu⁺ ion. The increase in peak intensity of the PL spectrum suggests that Cu⁺ acts as the luminescence center in the present matrix. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Effect of industrial SO2 immissions on the epiphytic microflora of spruce

In regions highly influenced by immissions the concentrations of serobic and ammonifying bacteria and yeasts on the surface of apical shoots of spruce were 10–30 times higher in summer than in regions that were relatively less influenced; concentrations of micromycetes were almost two-fold. Deterioration by immissions eliminated the autotrophic oxidizers of sulphur and decreased the number of asymbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria to zero. Counts of proteolytic bacteria decreased pronoucedly. On the other hand, the number of bacteria capable of multiplication at pH 4.0 in the presence of 10 mM sulphite increased. The proportion of lipolytic bacteria, micromycetes and mainly of yeasts increased considerably. A similar trend was observed in the case of amylolytic bacteria. Heterotrophic sulphur oxidizers could not be detected. The possible significance of this phenomenon for senescence of conifer needle is discussed.

Detoxification of SO2 in conifers differing in SO2-tolerance

Contents of organic sulfur, sulfate and the inorganic cations K⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Mn²⁺ and Na⁺ were compared in needles of three conifer species differing in tolerance to chronic SO₂ immissions. Sulfate and organic sulfur compounds were also measured in bark and wood. Field material was collected from Norway Spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.), Colorado Spruce (Picea pungens Engelm.) and Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) at sites where the SO₂ concentration in air was high, and at another site where it was low. In general, sulfate contents were higher but cation contents lower at the sites where SO₂ concentrations were high than where they were low. Up to 114mmol · (kg DW)^–1 sulfate was measured in fouryear-old needles of Norway Spruce from the Erzgebirge (annual mean of SO₂ in air 32 nl · 1^–1). Sulfate accumulation in this SO₂-sensitive conifer increased with SO₂ concentration in ambient air and with needle age, indicating that the main part of the sulfate resulted from the oxidative detoxification of SO₂. Loss of inorganic cations from ageing needles was reduced, or cation levels even increased, with increasing needle age, while sulfate accumulated. Apparently, cations served as counter-ions for sulfate, which is sequestered in the vacuoles. Individual trees differed in regard to the nature of cations which accumulated with sulfate. Calcium, potassium and magnesium were the dominating cations. Sodium levels were very low. Needles of the SO₂-tolerant conifers Colorado Spruce and Scots Pine growing next to Norway Spruce in the Erzgebirge did not accumulate, or accumulated less, sulfate with increasing needle age as compared to needles of Norway Spruce. However, somewhat more sulfate was found in the bark of the SO₂-tolerant species than in the bark of Norway Spruce. Scots Pine contained distinctly more sulfate in the wood than the other conifers. Since accumulation of organic sulfur compounds could not be observed with increasing needle age, or in bark and wood, reduction does not appear to play a major role in the detoxification of SO₂ by the investigated species. Physiological mechanisms permitting Colorado Spruce and Scots Pine to avoid the sulfate accumulation in the needles and the accompanying sequestration of cations that are observed in neighbouring Norway Spruce are discussed on the basis of the obtained data.Abbreviations S_org organic sulfur compounds Died June 10, 1991, aged 29, in a traffic accident.

The role of photophosphorylation in SO2 and SO 3 2- inhibition of photosynthesis in isolated chloroplasts

Sulphur dioxide inhibits noncyclic photophosphorylation in isolated envelope-free chloroplasts. This inhibition was shown to be reversible and competitive with phosphate, with an inhibitor constant of K_i=0.8mM. The same inhibition characteristics were observed when phosphoglycerate (PGA)- or ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP)-dependent oxygen evolution was examined in a reconstituted chloroplast system in the presence of SO ₃ ^2- . Using an ATP-regenerating system (phosphocreatine-creatine kinase), it was demonstrated that the inhibition of PGA-dependent oxygen evolution is solely the result of inhibited photophosphorylation. It is concluded that at low SO₂ and SO ₃ ^2- concentrations the inhibition of photophosphorylation is responsible for the inhibition of photosynthetic oxygen evolution.Abbreviations Chl chlorophyll - PGA D-3-phosphoglyceric acid trisodium salt - Pi inorganic phosphate - RuBP D-ribulose-1,5-bisphosphoric acid tetrasodium salt
