光呼吸对光合过程中磷代谢的影响

与光呼吸受抑制的 2％O_2浓度下相比,在 21％O_2浓度下.离体甘薯叶细胞光合作用最适介质无机磷浓度较低.另外,在21％O_2浓度下,降低甘薯叶细胞介质 NaHCO_3浓度,叶细胞光下吸收介质~(32)Pi的量减少;降低完整菠菜叶绿体介质 NaHCO_3浓度,乙醇酸形成相对加强,而介质~(32)Pi掺入到有机磷化合物的量则相对减少.这些结果表明,有利于光呼吸的条件,可降低光合对外界Pi的需求量.     

大豆和玉米光呼吸的控制

本文根据RuDP(1,5-二磷酸核酮糖)羧化酶的动力学特性测定了大豆光合作用和光呼吸的相对速率。在该羧化酶上,CO_2和O2对RuDP进行着争夺。高浓度的CO_2和低浓度的O_2,有利于RuDP羧化为三磷酸甘油酸,因而促进光合作用。低浓度的CO_2和高浓度的O_2则有利于RuDP的加氧反应而成为P-乙醇酸,因而促进光呼吸。在玉米上,PEP(磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸)羧化酶-苹果酸酶偶起了增加维管束鞘细胞中CO_2浓度的作用。四碳植物的维管束鞘细胞是RuDP羧化酶存在的场所。玉米的RuDP羧化酶对O_2也敏感,所以在维管束鞘内提高CO_2的浓度就能促进光合而减弱光呼吸。由于在800ppmCO_2和21％O_2的标准大气条件下,光呼吸及其相伴随的氧对光合的抑制作用,会明显地抑制大豆的净光合,同时由于迄未证明光呼吸有何重要的生理功能,因而正在试图设法减少或消除大豆和其他三碳植物的光呼吸。     

断光后的急骤耗氧现象及其与光呼吸的关系(英文)

用氧电极研究叶圆片断光后的耗氧变化,观察到断光后急骤耗氧(rapid postilluminationoxygen consumption RPIOC)现象。在不更换反应液的情况下,随着连续测定次数的增加,烟草叶圆片和番薯叶肉细胞的RPIOC增强。烟草、水稻、番薯、木瓜、黄瓜的叶圆片和番薯叶肉细胞表现出RPIOC,而高粱、甘蔗和玉米则没有这种现象。烟草叶国片的RPIOC随以下因素变化而增强:氧浓度从0.077mmol/L 气相O_27％)增加到 0.230 mmol/L(气相O_2 21％)、光强从111W/m~2增加到350W/m~2、温度从20℃增加到40℃,NaHCO_3(pH7.8)浓度从1 mmol/L(气相CO_2 1188ppm)降低到0.05mmol/L(气相CO_260 ppm)。0.4 mmol/L的HPMS完全抑制烟草叶圆片的RPIOC;10mmol/L的环氧丙酸抑制烟草叶圆片的RPIOC 57.8％。因此认为RPIOC是光呼吸的另一种形式的表现,它对环境因子的变化与已知的影响光呼吸的因子具有一致的反应。     

关于光呼吸与光合作用关系的研究——Ⅱ 环境因素对光合作用的影响及其与光呼吸的关系

采用光强、光质、照光时间、温度、气体成分以及叶水势、光合抑制剂等多种因素处理小麦叶片,观察这些因素对光合作用影响及其与光呼吸关系。结果证明,在各种因素的影响下,光合作用与光呼吸变化始终保持平行关系,而且在多数情况下,二者始终保持25％左右的比值,并发现二者比值变化受温度的调节。 发现光合与光呼吸从照光初始达最大速率(饱和值),要经过一个“滞后期”,小麦在10～15℃下,大约需55分钟,水稻在30℃下约需30分钟。 光呼吸猝发现象受光强、照光时间及高O_2影响;提高光强、延长照先时间或提高O_2浓度都可提高猝发强度,猝发强度一般可达33～81×10~(-3)CO_2mg dm~(-2)min~(-1)     

不同磷营养水平对烟草叶片光合作用和光呼吸的影响

随着磷营养水平的提高,烟草叶片的CO_2补偿点下降、光合速率上升。光呼吸在缺磷时最高。用光呼吸抑制剂处理烟草叶片后,光合的最适磷浓度提高。当CO_2浓度为560μl/L时,缺磷的烟草叶片在从21％O_2转入2％O_2时出现光合振荡,表明光呼吸与磷营养有密切关系。光呼吸在形成乙醇酸时所释放的磷,有回补叶绿体进行光合作用所需的磷的作用。     

单核细胞促进人外周血淋巴细胞离体增殖的自由基机理

在人外周血淋巴细胞培养体系中加入不同数量的单核细胞共同培养,以~3H-TdR掺入法和细胞色素C还原法分别测定淋巴细胞增殖能力和培养介质中O_2~-浓度;加入NADPH氧化酶抑制剂DPI实验性地下调O_2~-浓度,观察淋巴细胞增殖能力的变化。结果显示加入单核细胞可增加培养介质中O_2~-浓度,进而促进淋巴细胞增殖,提示O_2~-浓度的升高是淋巴细胞和单核细胞共培养体系中淋巴细胞增殖的重要因素。     

不同磷营养水平对烟草叶片光合作用和光呼吸的影响(英文)

研究了不同磷营养水平(0,1/4,1/2,1,2 P)对烟草(Nicotiana rustica L.)叶片光合、光呼吸、乙醇酸合成和乙醇酸氧化酶活性的影响,结果如下; 光合强度在0～1P范围内随磷水平的提高而增高,但在2P水平中略为下降。光呼吸强度在1/4～2P范围内与光合强度有相同的变化趋势,但在磷水平为零时最高;光呼吸/光合比值亦在磷水平为零时最高,并随磷营养的增加而下降。 HPMS抑制乙醇酸氧化酶活性,乙醇酸的积累量随磷水平的变化与光呼吸有一致的趋势。 在加入FMN时,不同磷营养水平的烟草叶片中乙醇酸氧化酶的活性随磷水平的提高而下降;加入FMN对酶活性的促进作用亦随磷水平的提高而下降。 叶片无机磷、有机磷及总磷含量均随磷营养水平的提高而增加。 用不同浓度的磷酸盐溶液真空渗入在1P培养的烟草叶圆片,并在0.25,0.5,10mmol/LNaHCO_3溶液中测定光合和光呼吸,结果表明在0.25和 0.5mmol/L NaHCO_3中,光呼吸随磷浓度的增加而下降;在 10mmol/L中光呼吸完全受抑制。光合作用与磷浓度关系呈单峰曲线,随着NaHCO_3浓度的提高,其高峰位置向右移,即光合最适磷浓度增大。 根据试验结果及从化学计量学推算,认为磷营养有抑制光呼吸的作用,而光呼吸的运转则有补充叶绿体内进行光合作用所需的无机磷的功能。

用50μmol/L GM_3处理J6-2细胞6天,经组化与细胞学检查,证实细胞沿单核巨噬细胞途径分化。以[~(32)P]Pi或[CH_3-~(14)C]胆碱冲激(Pulse)后,将洗净的细胞进行Folch分配。取下相进行薄层层析,再做放射自显影。结果表明:GM_3的处理能促进[~(32)P]Pi或[CH_3-~(14)C]胆碱向磷脂酰胆碱的参入,而抑制向其他磷脂组分的参入。用[CH_3-~(14)C]胆碱冲激的Folch分配上相含水溶性胆碱代谢物,经TLC,结果表明CM_3的处理使[CH_3-~(14)C]胆碱向CDP-胆碱的参入减少。本研究证实,GM_3能调节J6-2细胞的磷脂代谢,其调节机制值得研究。     

二氧化碳和臭氧浓度升高对四季竹矿质养分含量和运输的影响

为阐明CO_2和O_3浓度升高对竹子矿质养分含量和运输的影响,以2年生四季竹(Oligostachyum lubricum)为试材,采用开顶式气室(OTCs)设置了环境背景大气[CK,(40±5)nmol·mol~(-1) O_3,(360±20)μmol·mol~(-1) CO_2]、O_3浓度升高[EO,(100±10)nmol·mol~(-1) O_3,(360±20)μmol·mol~(-1) CO_2]、CO_2浓度升高[EC,(40±5)nmol·mol~(-1) O_3,(700±35)μmol·mol~(-1) CO_2]、CO_2和O_3浓度复合升高[EOEC,(100±10)nmol·mol~(-1) O_3,(700±35)μmol·mol~(-1) CO_2]4个处理,测定了竹叶、竹枝、竹秆和竹根的Na+、Fe(~(2+,3+)、Ca~(2+)和Mg~(2+)含量,并分析了矿质营养在器官间的转运情况。结果显示:与CK比较,EO处理显著降低了四季竹植株体内Na+和Fe(~(2+,3+)含量,特别是竹根和竹叶,同时也明显降低Na+和Fe(~(2+,3+)器官间的运输能力。EC处理显著降低了四季竹植株体内Na+含量,而未改变其他矿质元素含量,但其器官中的分配格局和运输能力发生变化,尤其是竹枝向竹叶运输Ca~(2+)和Mg~(2+)的能力增强。EOEC处理显著降低了四季竹植株体内Na+含量,但显著提高了Fe(~(2+,3+)、Ca~(2+)和Mg~(2+)含量及其向上运输能力。研究表明,O_3浓度升高降低了四季竹植株体内矿质养分含量和器官间养分运输能力,在一定程度上影响四季竹的正常生长;CO_2浓度升高通过提高Ca~(2+)和Mg~(2+)向光合器官叶片的运输能力,促进四季竹生长;CO_2和O_3浓度升高复合作用能够通过提高四季竹光合器官竹叶中Fe(~(2+,3+)、Ca~(2+)和Mg~(2+)含量及其向光合器官叶片的运输能力,以维持体内矿质养分元素的平衡,提高四季竹对高浓度CO_2和O_3浓度复合环境下的适应能力。     

GM3抑制人白血病J6－2细胞肌醇磷脂代谢循环

采用无载体 ³²P和[ ³H]肌醇标记磷脂,观察了促分化剂神经节苷脂GM₃对人单核样白血病J6-2细胞肌醇磷脂代谢的影响.GM₃抑制[ ³²P]Pi和[ ³H]肌醇掺入J6-2细胞磷脂酰肌醇(PI),促进[ ³²P]Pi和[ ³H]肌醇掺入磷脂酰肌醇-4,5-二磷酸(PIP₂),抑制[ ³²P]Pi掺入磷脂酸(PA),抑制[ ³H]肌醇掺入三磷酸肌醇(IP₃).GM₃的上述作用均为浓度依赖性的,随GM₃浓度的提高而增强.上述结果表明,GM₃抑制J6-2细胞的肌醇磷脂代谢循环.     

pH Dependence of Photosynthesis and Photorespiration in Soybean Leaf Cells

The effect of pH on the kinetics of photosynthesis, O(2) inhibition of photosynthesis, and photorespiration was examined with mesophyll cells isolated from soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) leaves. At constant, subsaturating bicarbonate concentration (0.5 mm), O(2) inhibition of photosynthesis increased with increasing pH because high pH shifts the CO(2)-bicarbonate equilibrium toward bicarbonate, thereby reducing the CO(2) concentration. At constant, substrating CO(2) concentrations, cell photorespiration decreased with increasing pH. This was indicated by decreases in the CO(2) compensation concentration, O(2) inhibition of photosynthesis, and glycine synthesis. Km(CO(2)) values for isolated cell photosynthesis and in vitro ribulose-1, 5-diphosphate carboxylase activity decreased with increasing pH, while the Ki(O(2)) for both systems was similar at all pH values. The responses to pH of the corresponding kinetic constants of cell photosynthesis and in vitro RuDP carboxylase with respect to CO(2) and O(2) were identical. This provides additional evidence that the relative rates of photosynthesis and photorespiration in C(3) plants are determined by the kinetic properties of RuDP carboxylase.     

C4 Photosynthesis (The CO2-Concentrating Mechanism and Photorespiration)

Despite previous reports of no apparent photorespiration in C4 plants based on measurements of gas exchange under 2 versus 21% O2 at varying [CO2], photosynthesis in maize (Zea mays) shows a dual response to varying [O2]. The maximum rate of photosynthesis in maize is dependent on O2 (approximately 10%). This O2 dependence is not related to stomatal conductance, because measurements were made at constant intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci); it may be linked to respiration or pseudocyclic electron flow. At a given Ci, increasing [O2] above 10% inhibits both the rate of photosynthesis, measured under high light, and the maximum quantum yield, measured under limiting light ([phi]CO2). The dual effect of O2 is masked if measurements are made under only 2 versus 21% O2. The inhibition of both photosynthesis and [phi]CO2 by O2 (measured above 10% O2) with decreasing Ci increases in a very similar manner, characteristically of O2 inhibition due to photorespiration. There is a sharp increase in O2 inhibition when the Ci decreases below 50 [mu]bar of CO2. Also, increasing temperature, which favors photorespiration, causes a decrease in [phi]CO2 under limiting CO2 and 40% O2. By comparing the degree of inhibition of photosynthesis in maize with that in the C3 species wheat (Triticum aestivum) at varying Ci, the effectiveness of C4 photosynthesis in concentrating CO2 in the leaf was evaluated. Under high light, 30[deg]C, and atmospheric levels of CO2 (340 [mu]bar), where there is little inhibition of photosynthesis in maize by O2, the estimated level of CO2 around ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) in the bundle sheath compartment was 900 [mu]bar, which is about 3 times higher than the value around Rubisco in mesophyll cells of wheat. A high [CO2] is maintained in the bundle sheath compartment in maize until Ci decreases below approximately 100 [mu]bar. The results from these gas exchange measurements indicate that photorespiration occurs in maize but that the rate is low unless the intercellular [CO2] is severely limited by stress.     

Crassulacean acid metabolism enhances underwater photosynthesis and diminishes photorespiration in the aquatic plant Isoetes australis

? Underwater photosynthesis by aquatic plants is often limited by low availability of CO(2), and photorespiration can be high. Some aquatic plants utilize crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis. The benefits of CAM for increased underwater photosynthesis and suppression of photorespiration were evaluated for Isoetes australis, a submerged plant that inhabits shallow temporary rock pools. ? Leaves high or low in malate were evaluated for underwater net photosynthesis and apparent photorespiration at a range of CO(2) and O(2) concentrations. ? CAM activity was indicated by 9.7-fold higher leaf malate at dawn, compared with at dusk, and also by changes in the titratable acidity (μmol H(+) equivalents) of leaves. Leaves high in malate showed not only higher underwater net photosynthesis at low external CO(2) concentrations but also lower apparent photorespiration. Suppression by CAM of apparent photorespiration was evident at a range of O(2) concentrations, including values below air equilibrium. At a high O(2) concentration of 2.2-fold the atmospheric equilibrium concentration, net photosynthesis was reduced substantially and, although it remained positive in leaves containing high malate concentrations, it became negative in those low in malate. ? CAM in aquatic plants enables higher rates of underwater net photosynthesis over large O(2) and CO(2) concentration ranges in floodwaters, via increased CO(2) fixation and suppression of photorespiration.     

Phosphate Deficiency in Maize. I. Leaf Phosphate Status, Growth, Photosynthesis and Carbon Partitioning

Maize plants (Zea mays L.) were cultured with nutrient solutioncontaining 0.001 or 0.5 mM orthophosphate (Pi). Effects of lowphosphate (low-P) nutrition on growth, leaf phosphate status,photosynthesis, and carbon partitioning were investigated. Withlow-P treatment, the fresh weight of aerial parts decreasedby about 40% by 24 days after planting. Detailed studies ofthe effects of low-P treatment on the other characteristicsof maize leaves-were done using the middle part of the thirdleaf, counting from the base. Low-P treatment had almost noeffect on specific leaf weight or soluble protein content measured13 to 21 days after planting. Low-P treatment decreased Chicontent slightly (by 15% 19 days after planting). Twenty onedays after planting, low-P treatment had greatly decreased thelevels of leaf acid extractable Pi (by 77%) and photosynthesisrates (by 68%). The detrimental effects of low-P treatment onthe rates of photosynthesis and the amounts of acid extractablePi became progressively greater with time. There was a strongcorrelation between levels of leaf acid extractable Pi and ratesof photosynthesis. The minimum level of Pi necessary to sustainthe maximum photosynthesis rate was 0.6 mmol m^–2. Belowthis minimum content of Pi, the rate of photosynthesis decreasedsharply with decreasing Pi. To investigate the direct effectof Pi depletion on photosynthate partitioning at equivalentrates of photosynthesis, the rates in controls were reducedto almost the same as those in 18 or 19 day old low-P plants(about 50% of those in controls) by lowering light intensityand/ or ambient CO₂ concentration. The data clearly indicatesthat low-P treatment had a direct effect in lowering photosynthatepartitioning into starch. Starch mobilization during the nightwas also inhibited under low-P conditions.

Effects of prolonged restriction in water supply on photosynthesis, shoot development and storage root yield in sweet potato

Besides the paucity of information on the effects of drought stress on photosynthesis and yield in sweet potato [ Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.], available reports are also contradictory. The aim of this study was to shed light on the effects of long-term restricted water supply on shoot development, photosynthesis and storage root yield in field-grown sweet potato. Experiments were conducted under a rainout shelter where effects of restricted water supply were assessed in two varieties (Resisto and A15). Large decreases in stomatal conductance occurred in both varieties after 5 weeks of treatment. However, continued measurements revealed a large varietal difference in persistence of this response and effects on CO₂ assimilation. Although restricted water supply decreased leaf relative water content similarly in both varieties, the negative effects on stomatal conductance disappeared with time in A15 (indicating high drought acclimation capacity) but not in Resisto, thus leading to inhibition of CO₂ assimilation in Resisto. Chlorophyll a fluorescence measurements, and the relationship between stomatal conductance, intercellular CO₂ concentration and CO₂ assimilation rate, indicated that drought stress inhibited photosynthesis primarily through stomatal closure. Although yield loss was considerably larger in Resisto, it was also reduced by up to 60% in A15, even though photosynthesis, expressed on a leaf area basis, was not inhibited in this variety. In A15 yield loss appears to be closely associated with decreased aboveground biomass accumulation, whereas in Resisto, combined effects on biomass accumulation and photosynthesis per unit leaf area are indicated, suggesting that research aimed at improving drought tolerance in sweet potato should consider both these factors.     

Evaluation of the light/dark C assay of photorespiration: tobacco leaf disk studies with glycidate and glyoxylate

Preincubation of illuminated tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) leaf disks in glycidate (2,3-epoxypropionate) or glyoxylate inhibited photorespiration by about 40% as determined by the ratio of ¹⁴CO₂ evolved into CO₂-free air in light and in darkness. However, under identical preincubation conditions used for the light/dark ¹⁴C assays, the compounds failed to reduce photorespiration or stimulate net photosynthesis in tobacco leaf disks based on other CO₂ exchange parameters, including the CO₂ compensation concentration in 21% O₂, the inhibitory effect of 21% O₂ on net photosynthesis in 360 microliters per liter of CO₂ and the rate of net photosynthetic ¹⁴CO₂ uptake in air.

The effects of both glycidate and glyoxylate on the ¹⁴C assay are inconsistent with other measures of photorespiratory CO₂ exchange in tobacco leaf disks, and thus these data question the validity of the light to dark ratio of ¹⁴CO₂ efflux as an assay for relative rates of photorespiration (Zelitch 1968, Plant Physiol 43: 1829-1837). The results of this study specifically indicate that neither glycidate nor glyoxylate reduces photorespiration or stimulates net photosynthesis by tobacco leaf disks under physiological conditions of pO₂ and pCO₂, contrary to previous reports.

     

The stoichiometry of photorespiration during C3-photosynthesis is not fixed: evidence from combined physical and stereochemical methods

The stoichiometry of photorespiration, S, is defined as the fraction of glycolate carbon photorespired. It is postulated that under steady-state conditions there are two determinants of the ratio of photorespiration to net photosynthesis: the partitioning of ribulose bisphosphate between oxidation and carboxylation, and the partitioning of glycolate between reactions leading to complete oxidation to CO2 (S = 100%) and those yielding CO2 plus serine (S = 25%). S may be calculated using two independent probes of the system. The physical probe, using an infrared gas analyzer, measured photorespiration and net photosynthesis, and hence their ratio PR/NPS = pn(phys). The metabolic probe employed tracer (3R)-D-[3-3H1,3-14C]glyceric acid to determine r, the fraction of 3H retained in the triose phosphates leaving the chloroplasts. It is deduced from the postulated model that S = pn(phys) . r/(1 - r). Experiments have been performed with illuminated tobacco leaf discs (inverted) under varying concentrations of O2 and CO2. Increasing O2 at constant CO2 increased pn(phys) and decreased r, whereas increasing CO2 at constant O2 had the opposite effect. S more than doubled at 32 degrees C on going from 16 to 40% O2 (340 microliters CO2/liter) and decreased 40% on going from 200 to 700 microliters CO2/liter (21% O2). For discs in normal air S was somewhat greater than 27%. It is suggested that net photosynthesis, and therefore crop yields, could be increased by selecting for crop plants with reduced photorespiration stoichiometry.     

The relationship between phosphate status and photosynthesis in leaves

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) were grown in hydroponic culture with varying levels of orthophosphate (Pi). When leaves were fed with 20 mmol·l^–1 Pi at low CO₂ concentrations, a temporary increase of CO₂ uptake was observed in Pi-deficient leaves but not in those from plants grown at 1 mmol·l^–1 Pi. At high concentrations of CO₂ (at 21% or 2% O₂) the Pi-induced stimulation of CO₂ uptake was pronounced in the Pi-deficient leaves. The contents of phosphorylated metabolites in the leaves decreased as a result of Pi deficiency but were restored by Pi feeding. These results demonstrate that there is an appreciable capacity for rapid Pi uptake by leaf mesophyll cells and show that the effects of long-term phosphate deficiency on photosynthesis may be reversed (at least temporarily) within minutes by feeding with Pi.Abbreviation Pi orthophosphate     

转铜/锌超氧化物歧化酶和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶基因甘薯的耐旱性

水分胁迫使转铜／锌超氧化物歧化酶基因（Cu／Zn SOD）和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶基因（APX）甘薯及未转基因甘薯中超氧阴离子（O2^-）、过氧化氢（H2O2）、丙二醛（MDA）含量和细胞膜相对透性增加,在相同条件下以上指标均为转基因甘薯低于未转基因甘薯;而叶片含水量、净光合速率（Pn）和气孔导度（Gs）均下降,SOD和APX酶活性随胁迫程度的加重先增大后减小,胞间CO2浓度（Ci）则先减小后增大,在相同条件下转基因甘薯中以上指标均高于未转基因甘薯。这些结果表明：转入Cu／Zn SOD和APX基因使转基因甘薯清除活性氧的能力增强,在水分胁迫下能保持较高的叶片含水量和Pn,耐旱性得到提高。
