钙-钙调素在零下低温诱导毛白杨扦插苗抗冻性中的作用

以零下低温锻炼和结合效应剂(CaCl2、钙离子螯合剂EGTA、钙离子通道阻断剂LaCl3或钙调素拮抗剂CPZ)处理的低温锻炼下的毛白杨(Populus tomentosa)扦插苗为试材,对其体内丙.醛(M D A)及钙调素(CaM)含量,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)及线粒体腺苷三磷酸酶(Ca2 -ATPase)活性,以及幼苗的半致死温度(LT50)分别进行测定.结果表明,低温锻炼不仅在一定程度上提高了幼苗 CaM含量,SOD、POD和线粒体Ca2 -ATPase活性,降低了MDA含量和幼苗半致死温度;而且减小了低温胁迫所引起的SOD、POD、线粒体Ca2 -ATPase活性和CaM含量的下降程度以及MDA的增加幅度,促进了胁迫后恢复过程中SOD、POD、线粒体Ca2 -ATPase活性和CaM水平的迅速回升以及MDA的下降.在低温锻炼的同时,用CaCl2处理能加强低温锻炼的效果,但这种效应可被EGTA、LaCl3或CPZ处理抑制.经或未经CaCl2处理的低温锻炼后,幼苗中CaM含量的增加有助于SOD、POD和线粒体Ca2 -ATPase活性的提高,进而对幼苗抗冻性的提高有明显的促进作用.看来,Ca2 -CaM信号系统可能参与了SOD、POD和线粒体Ca2 -ATPase活性的调节和抗冻性的低温诱导.     

Ca2+和钙调素对H2O2诱导的玉米幼苗耐热性的调控

外源H2O2预处理提高了玉米幼苗内源H2O2的含量和钙调素(CaM)活性,缓解了高温处理过程中CaM活性的下降,增加了玉米幼苗在高温胁迫下的存活率.H2O2诱导的玉米幼苗耐热性的形成可被外源Ca2 处理所加强,被Ca2 螯合剂EGTA、质膜Ca2 通道阻塞剂La3 、胞内Ca2 通道阻断剂RR(钌红),以及CaM抑制剂CPZ(氯丙嗪)和TFP(三氟拉嗪)所抑制,表明Ca2 和CaM参与了H2O2诱导的玉米幼苗耐热性形成的调控.     

水稻幼苗根细胞质膜和液泡膜微囊Ca2+-ATP酶的特性

水稻幼苗根质膜和液泡膜Ca2 -ATP酶对ATP的Km值分别为7.1和4.5 μ mol·L-1;反应的最适pH分别为8.0和7.0.两者活性均受Na3VO4和曙红B(EB)抑制;CPZ抑制质膜Ca2 -ATP酶活性,但促进液泡膜Ca2 -ATP酶活性.30mmol·L-1CaCl2浸种和CaCl2浸种结合低温锻炼预处理,均可提高此酶的活性和冷稳定性.     

甲基紫精对水稻幼苗根细胞膜微囊Ca2+-ATP酶活性的影响

10μmool/L甲基紫精(MV)预处理水稻幼苗可明显提高其抗冷力,但这种功效可被钙的螯合剂EGTA(10 mmol/L)和钙调素(CaM)的抑制剂氯丙嗪(CPZ,0.5 mmol/L)所抑制.MV预处理提高了幼苗质膜、液泡膜Ca2+-ATP酶活性,同时也有提高质膜Fe(CN)3-6还原速率和这些活性的冷适应性,但这些效果均可被EGTA和CPZ所抑制.离体条件下,膜微囊的Ca2+-ATP酶活性对H2O2、O-2、-OH敏感.结果显示,MV预处理提高幼苗的抗冷力可能是通过钙信使介导起作用的,钙信使或CaM可能刺激了质膜、液泡膜Ca2+-ATP酶活性;而该预处理有增加质膜、液泡膜Ca2+-ATP酶的冷稳定性则可能与该处理有提高细胞抗氧化能力、稳定冷胁迫下细胞膜系统结构有关.     

低温、高pH胁迫对水稻幼苗根系质膜、液泡膜ATP酶活性的影响

以耐冷性不同的两个水稻品种为材料,比较研究了幼苗根系质膜、液泡膜ATP酶对低温(8℃)及高pH(8.0)胁迫的反应。结果表明水稻根细胞质膜和液泡膜上均存在Ca3+-ATP酶,但活性远低于H+-ATP酶。耐冷品种武育粳3号经低温(8℃)处理2d,根系质膜和液泡膜H+-ATP酶、Ca2+-ATP酶活性均明显升高,至冷处理12d,H+-ATP酶、Ca2+-ATP酶活性有所下降,但仍与对照相近;而冷敏感品种汕优63经低温(8℃)处理2d,根系质膜H+-ATP酶活性略有升高,而质膜Ca2+-ATP酶以及液泡膜H+-ATP酶、Ca2+-ATP酶活性已明显下降;至冷处理12d,4种酶活性均明显低于对照。高pH胁迫使质膜和液泡膜H+-ATP酶活性下降,而使Ca2+-ATP酶活性上升。高pH胁迫会加剧低温冷害。结果表明,耐冷品种质膜、液泡膜ATP酶比冷敏感品种对低温胁迫有更强的适应能力。     

脱硫废弃物对碱胁迫下水稻叶片钙分布、Ca2+-ATPase活性及抗氧化特征的影响

为了探讨脱硫废弃物提高水稻抗盐碱的作用机制,采用盆栽法,研究脱硫废弃物对碱胁迫下水稻幼苗叶片总钙含量、Ca2+分布、细胞膜Ca2+-ATPase活性及活性氧含量等的变化.结果表明:对照处理的细胞中钙颗粒零星分布于细胞壁和叶绿体中,添加脱硫废弃物和CaSO4处理的细胞质膜、细胞间隙、细胞壁和液泡中有大量的钙颗粒分布;随着脱硫废弃物和CaSO4添加量的增加,叶片总钙含量增加,质膜和液泡膜Ca2+-ATPase活性呈上升趋势,质膜透性、MDA含量和活性氧O2-产生速率呈下降趋势,SOD、POD等保护酶活性升高.添加脱硫废弃物在一定程度上能够减缓碱胁迫对水稻造成的细胞伤害,起主要作用的物质可能是其主要成分CaSO4.     

Ca2+预处理对热胁迫下辣椒叶肉细胞中Ca2+-ATP酶活性的影响

在常温下生长的辣椒(Capsicum annum L.)叶肉细胞中Ca2+-ATP酶主要分布于质膜、液泡膜上,叶绿体的基质和基粒片层上也有少量分布;在40℃下热胁迫不同的时间,酶活性逐渐下降,直至叶绿体超微结构解体.同样条件下,经过Ca2+预处理后,分布在上述细胞器膜或片层上的酶活性大大提高,表明Ca2+预处理对该酶活性具有激活作用;Ca2+预处理对热胁迫下的超微结构的完整性具有一定的保护作用,并且能使Ca2+-ATP酶在热胁迫下维持较高活性.结果表明,Ca2+预处理增强辣椒幼苗的抗热性,可能与其稳定细胞膜、从而使Ca2+-ATP酶在热胁迫下保持较高活性有一定关系.     

低温胁迫下氯丙嗪和氯化镧对水稻幼苗脯氨酸积累的影响

低温胁迫下水稻幼苗质膜透性增大、相对含水量(RWC)下降、丙二醛(MDA)含量增加,同时脯氨酸(Pro)积累。以氯丙嗪(CPZ)和氯化镧(LaCl3)对水稻幼苗预处理以阻碍Ca2+·CaM(钙调素)信使传导后,加剧了低温胁迫下水稻幼苗质膜透性的增加、RWC的下降、MDA含量的增加和Pro的积累,说明水稻幼苗受伤害程度将加重。     

外源Ca2+浸种对Cd2+胁迫下红三叶种子萌发和幼苗生长及其生化特性的影响

用不同浓度Ca2 溶液浸种处理红三叶种子后、用0.1 mmol·L-1Cd2 溶液培养,探讨外源Ca2 对Cd2 胁迫下红三叶种子萌发、幼苗生长及其保护酶活性和子叶叶绿素含量的影响.结果显示:(1)0.1 mmol·L-1Ca2 浸种处理能显著缓解Cd2 胁迫的影响,可使红三叶种子发芽势、发芽指数及活力指数显著升高,全苗长、胚根长和胚根/胚芽显著增加(分别增加21.38%、44.06%和38.63%),并显著提高叶绿素含量(14.59%);(2)0.11、.0 mmol·L-1Ca2 浸种预处理均能显著提高Cd2 胁迫下红三叶幼苗子叶SOD活性(43.17%、218.95%)和POD活性(34.00%、14.28%),并显著降低其CAT活性(17.43%、29.19%)和MDA含量(21.92%、24.51%).结果表明,0.1mmol·L-1外源Ca2 浸种处理能显著缓解Cd2 (0.1 mmol·L-1)胁迫对红三叶种子萌发及幼苗生长及其保护酶活性的抑制作用,可明显提高红三叶幼苗对Cd2 胁迫的抵抗能力,缓解效果最优.     

Ca2+-CaM对过氧化氢诱导玉米幼苗耐冷性的影响

H2O2预处理可提高玉米幼苗的耐冷性及其体内钙调素(CaM)活性。阻断胞内Ca2 库的动员(钌红处理)、降低细胞中Ca2 水平(EGTA处理)及抑制CaM活性(TFP和CPZ处理)均可完全消除H2O2诱导的玉米幼苗的耐冷性。阻止胞外Ca2 跨膜进入胞内(La3 处理)并不抑制、甚至还能轻微地提高H2O2诱导的耐冷性。高Ca2 (20mmol.L^-1)处理削弱H2O2诱导的耐冷性。这些结果表明,CaM及胞内Ca2 库在H2O2诱导的玉米幼苗耐冷性的形成过程中起重要作用,而质外体中高浓度Ca2 和跨膜进入胞内会削弱H2O2诱导的耐冷性。     

低温对植物叶片中超氧物歧化酶、过氧化氢酶和过氧化氢水平的影响

番茄和鸡蛋果叶片中可提取的SOD活性不受低温的影响。在电泳谱带上SOD主同工酶带被氰化物而不被低温抑制,次同工酶带在低温下不稳定,且活性很低,它的变化不影响总的SOD活性。一些冷敏感植物叶片中CAT活性被低温抑制,而H_2O_3水平在低温下稳定或有增加,这可能使毒性更强的羟基离子(OH·)易于形成。     

Chilling‐induced Ca2+ overload enhances production of active oxygen species in maize (Zea mays L.) cultured cells: the effect of abscisic acid treatment

Chilling (4 °C) induced a prolonged high level of intracellular Ca²⁺ (Ca²⁺ overload) and lipid peroxidation in maize (Zea mays L. cv Black Mexican Sweet) cultured cells. However, such Ca²⁺ overload and enhanced lipid peroxidation were not seen in abscisic acid (ABA)‐treated cells, which had an improved chilling tolerance. A Ca²⁺ ionophore, A23187, caused Ca²⁺ overload in both ABA‐treated maize cells and the untreated control, whereas an enhanced lipid peroxidation was detected only in the control. The high level of active oxygen species (AOS) in the control during chilling at 4 °C could be reduced by the presence of lanthanum (La³⁺), a Ca²⁺ channel blocker, in the medium. Moreover, both the A23187‐induced lipid peroxidation and AOS production in the control could be reduced by extracellular EGTA, a Ca²⁺ chelator. Laser‐scanning confocal microscopy revealed that mitochondria were one of the major AOS sources under chilling and during A23187 treatment. In vitro assays showed that superoxide production in isolated maize mitochondria was enhanced by the presence of Ca²⁺. Findings suggest that chilling‐induced Ca²⁺ influx in the control triggers a marked generation of AOS, which in turn results in the enhanced lipid peroxidation. The ability of ABA‐treated cells to avoid the chilling‐induced Ca²⁺ influx may serve as a mechanism that prevents the chilling‐induced oxidative stress and thus results in less chilling injury.     

Chilling injury: a plea for uniform terminology

Abstract This article proposes definitions for the terms now commonly applied to studies of both the molecular and cellular aspects of chilling injury. They are proposed with the intent of increasing the precision and clarity of communications on the subject and arc based on the present understanding and current hypotheses regarding the molecular events underlying the development of the visible symptoms of chilling injury.

使用1961-2009年云南烤烟种植区62个气象代表站的逐日平均气温和最低气温,基于低温指标和权重指数构建了烤烟低温冷害指数模型,采用线性趋势及M-K突变检测方法,分析了低温冷害指数的变化特征.结果表明:1961-2009年春、夏、秋烤烟低温冷害指数全省平均值逐年变化均呈减弱趋势,春季减弱最为显著,夏秋减弱趋势不及春季且不显著;春、夏烤烟低温冷害指数全省平均值在20世纪60年代和70年代最高,在2001-2009年最低,秋季则为60年代最高,70年代最低;各季节中低温冷害指数呈减弱趋势及变化显著的站点春、夏季最多,秋季最少;M-K检测表明,春季低温冷害指数全省逐年平均值变化趋势显著,并在1997年出现突变点,而夏季和秋初变化均不显著,春季全省发生显著突变的站点达30％,但夏秋季不到10％,各站点出现突变的时间以20世纪80年代及90年代末期为主.     

Water relations under root chilling in a sensitive and tolerant tomato species

The shoots of cultivated tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum cv. T5) wilt if their roots are exposed to chilling temperatures of around 5 °C. Under the same treatment, a chilling‐tolerant congener (Lycopersicon hirsutum LA 1778) maintains shoot turgor. To determine the physiological basis of this differential response, the effect of chilling on both excised roots and roots of intact plants in pressure chambers were investigated. In excised roots and intact plants, root hydraulic conductance declined with temperature to nearly twice the extent expected from the temperature dependence of the viscosity of water, but the response was similar in both species. The species differed markedly, however, in stomatal behaviour: in L. hirsutum, stomatal conductance declined as root temperatures were lowered, whereas the stomata of L. esculentum remained open until the roots reached 5 °C, and the plants became flaccid and suffered damage. Grafted plants with the shoots of one genotype and roots of another indicated that the differential stomatal behaviour during root chilling has distinct shoot and root components.     

Role of thermal dissipation in the photoprotection in cucumber plants after exposure to a chill stress

Experiments were carried out to investigate the changes in CO₂ assimilation, photon allocation, and photosynthetic electron flux in leaves of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plants after chilling stress. Chilling significantly decreased CO₂ assimilation, the energy flux via linear electron transport (J _PS2) and non-constitutive thermal dissipation (J _NPQ) but increased fluorescence and constitutive thermal dissipation (J _f,D) in chilling-sensitive genotype Jinyan No. 4. In contrast, chilling had little effects on J _NPQ and J _f,D although CO₂ assimilation and J _PS2 were inhibited in chilling-tolerant genotype Jinchun No. 3. In parallel with the reduction in J _PS2, electron flux to oxygenation and carboxylation by ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase all significantly decreased while electron flux to O₂ significantly increased, especially in chilling-sensitive genotype. Thermal and fluorescence dissipation were the main energy dissipation pathways whilst water-water cycle was an important electron sink when photosynthetic carbon reduction was suppressed after chilling. Chilling sensitivity of the photosynthetic apparatus was related to the operation of different photoprotection mechanisms.     

Brassinosteroid signaling positively regulates abscisic acid biosynthesis in response to chilling stress in tomato

Brassinosteroids (BRs) and abscisic acid (ABA) are essential regulators of plant growth and stress tolerance. Although the antagonistic interaction of BRs and ABA is proposed to ensure the balance between growth and defense in model plants, the crosstalk between BRs and ABA in response to chilling in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), a warm-climate horticultural crop, is unclear. Here, we determined that overexpression of the BR biosynthesis gene DWARF (DWF) or the key BR signaling gene BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT1 (BZR1) increases ABA levels in response to chilling stress via positively regulating the expression of the ABA biosynthesis gene 9-CIS-EPOXYCAROTENOID DIOXYGENASE1 (NCED1). BR-induced chilling tolerance was mostly dependent on ABA biosynthesis. Chilling stress or high BR levels decreased the abundance of BRASSINOSTEROID-INSENSITIVE2 (BIN2), a negative regulator of BR signaling. Moreover, we observed that chilling stress increases BR levels and results in the accumulation of BZR1. BIN2 negatively regulated both the accumulation of BZR1 protein and chilling tolerance by suppressing ABA biosynthesis. Our results demonstrate that BR signaling positively regulates chilling tolerance via ABA biosynthesis in tomato. The study has implications in production of warm-climate crops in horticulture.     

Chilling sensitivity in higher plants: the role of phosphatidylglycerol

Abstract A compilation of data on the level of high melting point fatly acids in the phosphalidylglycerol of leaves of higher plants suggests that the content of these acids is not directly related to the chilling sensitivity of the plant. Within a given plant family the level of high melting point fatty acids in phosphatidylglycerol appears to be relatively constant, although the individual species may differ widely in their susceptibility to low temperature. It seems possible that differences observed in the levels of high melting point fatty acids in the phosphatidylglycerols of chilling-sensitive and chilling-tolerant plants may be largely due to choice of experimental material.     

外源H2O2对水稻幼苗抗寒性的调节作用

在常温下用不同浓度的外源H2O2(0～20 mmol·L-1)预处理水稻幼苗,再进行12 h 6℃低温胁迫,根据幼苗相对含水量和质膜相对透性筛选最佳外源H2O2处理浓度,并分析最佳外源H2O2浓度下幼苗的渗透调节物质和活性氧相关指标的变化.结果表明:(1)0～8 mmol·L-1 H2O2预处理可以增加水稻幼苗的相对含水量,降低其质膜相对透性,并以4 mmol·L-1 H2O2的效果最佳.(2)低温胁迫后,与对照组相比,4 mmol·L-1外源H2O2预处理降低了水稻幼苗萎蔫程度,并使其总呼吸速率、交替途径容量都有增加,同时还抑制了丙二醛的含量,增加了可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白质和脯氨酸的含量.(3)外源H2O2预处理对水稻幼苗的内源H2O2含量以及O(-)/(·)2产生速率没有显著影响.研究发现,外源H2O2可以通过提高呼吸速率、降低脂质过氧化程度、增加碳氮代谢来有效增强水稻幼苗的抗寒性,它可能以一种独立于内源活性氧系统之外的方式发挥作用.     

Temporal organization of chilling resistance in cotton seedlings: effects of low temperature and relative humidity

The effect of temperature and relative humidity (RH) on the time course of the rhythmic endogenous changes of chilling resistance was studied in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. Deltapine 50) seedlings grown under light-dark cycles of 12:12 h. The resistant phase to 5° C, 85% RH lasted during most of the dark period while to 5° C, 100% RH it was longer and extended into the last half of the light period because a transient phase advance occurred when chilling started at the middle of the light period. Seedlings acclimated by low temperature were resistant throughout the light-dark cycle. A treatment with 100% RH before chilling to acclimated seedlings introduced a sensitive phase that corresponded to that of non-acclimated seedlings. In non-acclimated seedlings, this treatment decreased the resistance but the basic pattern of the rhythm was sustained. Changes in chilling resistance were analyzed under fluctuating temperatures and RHs, and explained taking into consideration the functioning of the circadian clock and environmental induction of resistance.Abbreviations CR chilling resistance - LDC light-dark cycle of 24 h - RH relative humidity
