虫害诱导的植物挥发物:基本特性、生态学功能及释放机制

植物在遭受植食性昆虫攻击时,能通过释放挥发物调节植物、植食性昆虫及其天敌三者间的相互关系,并由此而防御植食性昆虫。主要就虫害诱导的植物挥发物的基本特性、生态学功能及其释放机制进行了系统性综述,并提出了今后的研究方向。     

植物的诱导抗虫性

植物对植食性昆虫的抗性可包括两个方面,即植物的组成抗性（constitutiveresistance）和诱导抗性（inducedresistance）。组成抗性是指植物在遭受植食性昆虫进攻前就已存在的抗虫特性;而诱导抗性是指植物在遭受植食性昆虫进攻后所表现出来的一种抗虫特性[1,2]。根据作用世代的不同,诱导抗性又分为迅速的诱导抗性（rapidlyinducedre－sistance,RIR）和滞后的诱导抗性（delayedinducedresistance,DIR）。前者是指对当前世代的植食性昆虫的影响,而后者是指对后续的1～几个世代的植食性昆虫的影响[2]。研究植物的诱导抗虫性,不仅能在…     

虫害诱导的植物挥发物代谢调控机制研究进展

长期受自然界的非生物/生物侵害,植物逐步形成了复杂的防御机制,为防御植食性昆虫的为害,植物释放虫害诱导产生的挥发性化合物(herbivore-induced plant volatiles,HIPVs)。HIPVs是植物-植食性昆虫-天敌三级营养关系之间协同进化的结果。HIPVs的化学组分因植物、植食性昆虫种类的不同而有差异。生态系统中,HIPVs可在植物与节肢动物、植物与微生物、虫害植物与邻近的健康植物、或同一植株的受害和未受害部位间起作用,介导防御性反应。HIPVs作为寄主定位信号,在吸引捕食性、寄生性天敌过程中起着重要作用。HIPVs还可以作为植物间信息交流的工具,启动植株的防御反应而增强抗虫性。不论从生态学还是经济学角度来看,HIPVs对于农林生态系中害虫综合治理策略的完善具有重要意义。前期的研究在虫害诱导植物防御的化学生态学方面奠定了良好基础,目前更多的研究转向阐述虫害诱导植物抗性的分子机制。为了深入了解HIPVs的代谢调控机制,主要从以下几个方面进行了综述。因为植食性昆虫取食造成的植物损伤是与昆虫口腔分泌物共同作用的结果,所以首先阐述口腔分泌物在防御反应中的作用。挥发物诱导素volicitin和β-葡萄糖苷酶作为口腔分泌物的组分,是产生HIPVs的激发子,通过调节伤信号诱发HIPVs的释放。接着阐述了信号转导途径对HIPVs释放的调节作用,并讨论了不同信号途径之间的交互作用。就HIPVs的代谢过程而言,其过程受信号转导途径(包括茉莉酸、水杨酸、乙烯、过氧化氢信号途径)的调控,其中茉莉酸信号途径是诱发HIPVs释放的重要途径。基于前人的研究,综述了HIPVs的主要代谢过程及其过程中关键酶类的调控作用。文中的HIPVs主要包括萜烯类化合物、绿叶挥发物和莽草酸途径产生的芳香族化合物,如水杨酸甲酯和吲哚等。作为化学信号分子,这些化合物中的一部分还能激活邻近植物防御基因的表达。萜烯合酶是各种萜烯类化合物合成的关键酶类,脂氧合酶、过氧化氢裂解酶也是绿叶挥发物代谢途径中的研究热点,而苯丙氨酸裂解酶和水杨酸羧基甲基转移酶分别是合成水杨酸及其衍生物水杨酸甲酯的关键酶类。这些酶类的基因在转录水平上调控着HIPVs代谢途径。最后展望了HIPVs的研究前景。     

虫害诱导的植物挥发物:植物与植食性昆虫及其天敌相互作用的进化产物

综述了植物、植食性昆虫及其天敌相互作用的进化过程。虫害诱导的植物挥发物的特征和功能是植物-植食性昆虫-天敌之间长期进化的结果。在植物、植食性昆虫与天敌相互作用的进化过程中,3个不同营养级,包括植物、植食性昆虫和天敌有着各自的调节和利用虫害诱导的植物挥发物的策略。但有一些问题,如通过实验研究得出的诱导防御在田间是否真正能起到保护作用等需进一步研究、阐明。     

虫害诱导植物挥发物(HIPVs)对植食性昆虫的行为调控

虫害诱导植物挥发物(herbivore induced plant volatiles,HIPVs)具有植物种类、品种、生育期和部位的特异性,也具有植食性昆虫种类、虫龄、为害程度、为害方式和其他一些环境因子的特异性。由于其释放量明显大于健康植株,因此更易被天敌、害虫以及邻近的植物等所利用,从而调节植物、植食性昆虫与天敌三者之间的相互作用关系,增强植物在自然界的生存竞争能力。本文对HIPVs在植食性昆虫寄主定位行为中的作用、HIPVs对植食性昆虫的种群调控功能及其应用现状2个方面加以综述,并在展望中对目前研究中存在的一些问题进行了探讨。     

昆虫对植物抗虫性的诱导

植物的抗虫性主要表现为受遗传因素控制的遗传抗性和受环境因素控制的生态抗性两个方面。植物的抗性主要由遗传因素决定,但其抗性表达和抗虫幅度又受到环境因子的影响。环境因子可改变植物的生理状态和理化性质,使植物不合适作为某种昆虫的寄主,从而提高了植物的抗性水平。植食性昆虫对植物抗虫性的诱导是环境影响抗性表达的一个重要方面,它是植物对取食者的一种重要的防御策略,同时也是植物与植食者协同进化的结果,进一步了解和充分发挥诱导抗性的作用,对抗虫有种工作和害虫的综合治理都有指导意义。三植食性昆虫对植物抗虫性的诱导…

Isolation of a psychrotolerant Debaryomyces hansenii strain from fermented tea plant (Camellia sinensis) leaves

Abstract

A psychrotolerant, halotolerant and alkalophilic yeast was isolated from fermented leaves of Camellia sinensis Kuntze, the tea plant. The yeast strain, named Tea-Y1, was both phenotypically and genotypically identified as belonging to the species Debaryomyces hansenii. This assignment was confirmed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The analysis of growth curves demonstrated the ability this yeast strain to grow in a temperature range between 4°C and 28°C, with an optimum of 23°C. The ecology of this yeast in the C. sinensis phyllosphere, as well as its possible role in tea fermentation and storage, with particular reference to iced tea, are discussed.     

Potentiality of actinobacteria to combat against biotic and abiotic stresses in tea [Camellia sinensis (L) O. Kuntze]

Tea (Camellia sinensis (L) O. Kuntze) is a long-duration monoculture crop prone to several biotic (fungal diseases and insect pest) and abiotic (nutrient deficiency, drought and salinity) stress that eventually result in extensive annual crop loss. The specific climatic conditions and the perennial nature of the tea crop favour growth limiting abiotic factors, numerous plant pathogenic fungi (PPF) and insect pests. The review focuses on the susceptibility of tea crops to PPF/pests, drought, salinity and nutrient constraints and the potential role of beneficial actinobacteria in promoting tea crop health. The review also focuses on some of the major PPF associated with tea, such as Exobasidium vexans, Pestalotiopsis theae, Colletotrichum acutatum, and pests (Helopeltis theivora). The phylum actinobacteria own a remarkable place in agriculture due to the biosynthesis of bioactive metabolites that assist plant growth by direct nutrient assimilation, phytohormone production, and by indirect aid in plant defence against PPF and pests. The chemical diversity and bioactive significance of actinobacterial metabolites (antibiotics, siderophore, volatile organic compounds, phytohormones) are valuable in the agro-economy. This review explores the recent history of investigations in the role of actinobacteria and its secondary metabolites as a biocontrol agent and proposes a commercial application in tea cultivation.     

Theanine transporters identified in tea plants (Camellia sinensis L.)

Theanine, a unique non‐proteinogenic amino acid, is an important component of tea, as it confers the umami taste and relaxation effect of tea as a beverage. Theanine is primarily synthesized in tea roots and is subsequently transported to young shoots, which are harvested for tea production. Currently, the mechanism for theanine transport in the tea plant remains unknown. Here, by screening a yeast mutant library, followed by functional analyses, we identified the glutamine permease, GNP1 as a specific transporter for theanine in yeast. Although there is no GNP1 homolog in the tea plant, we assessed the theanine transport ability of nine tea plant amino acid permease (AAP) family members, with six exhibiting transport activity. We further determined that CsAAP1, CsAAP2, CsAAP4, CsAAP5, CsAAP6, and CsAAP8 exhibited moderate theanine affinities and transport was H⁺‐dependent. The tissue‐specific expression of these six CsAAPs in leaves, vascular tissues, and the root suggested their broad roles in theanine loading and unloading from the vascular system, and in targeting to sink tissues. Furthermore, expression of these CsAAPs was shown to be seasonally regulated, coincident with theanine transport within the tea plant. Finally, CsAAP1 expression in the root was highly correlated with root‐to‐bud transport of theanine, in seven tea plant cultivars. Taken together, these findings support the hypothesis that members of the CsAAP family transport theanine and participate in its root‐to‐shoot delivery in the tea plant.     

Isolation and characterization of highly polymorphic microsatellites in tea (Camellia sinensis)

Relatively little is known about the diversity and origins of tea. The highest value tea products are sold on the basis of their region of origin but there are currently no methods available to verify the claims made on packages. We have developed 15 microsatellite loci for tea. These have been evaluated for polymorphism in a set of tea clones to determine their usefulness for authentication purposes. The majority of the microsatellites developed proved to be highly polymorphic both between and within different geographical origins and offer the potential to investigate the population genetics and genetic origins of tea.     

Micropropagation of tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) using Thidiazuron

The effect of thidiazuron (TDZ) on the micropropagation of Camellia sinensis (China hybrid) was compared with that of benzylaminopurine (BAP) using nodal segments from in vitro raised seedlings. Extremely low concentrations of TDZ (1pM–100nM) alone were effective in inducing shoot bud proliferation and maintaining high rates of shoot multiplication on hormone-free media. On the other hand, higher concentrations of BAP (1–10M) and its continued presence were required to initiate and sustain shoot proliferation. While wider ranges of BAP combined favourably with auxins like NAA or IBA, only specific combinations of TDZ and NAA were effective for shoot proliferation. TDZ treated explants yielded healthy shoots, with sturdy leaves, even during the initial stages of growth, whereas, the effect of BAP was cumulative over subcultures in attaining a high proliferative rate.     

茶(Camellia sinensis L.)对铜的吸收与累积

对广东省5个大型茶场中不同土壤背景值的8个茶园进行了土壤及茶(CamelliasinensisL.)树各部位的铜含量分析调查。地处我国南方的广东省茶园,土壤中铜含量在2.39～53.05mg kg之间。有效态铜含量相对较低,仅在0.45～3.17mg kg之间。茶树中各部位铜含量大小依次为枝条>幼叶>根>成熟叶。茶树枝条和幼叶铜含量较高,平均分别达14.5和14.3mg kg,远高于成熟叶铜含量水平(9.7mg kg)。而同时期相应茶场的茶叶制成品铜含量则较幼叶(一芽两叶)铜的含量高。土壤中的总钾、有效磷和总铜等都对茶树各部位铜的累积产生较大影响,但只有土壤有效磷含量对铜在茶树体内向枝条部分的转移和累积影响达显著程度,枝条铜含量与土壤有效磷之间的相关系数r=-0.74,呈显著负相关(P<0.05)。     

The impact of pH and calcium on the uptake of fluoride by tea plants (Camellia sinensis L.)

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Tea plants (Camellia sinensis L.) accumulate large amounts of fluoride (F) from soils containing normal F concentrations. The present experiments examined the effects of pH and Ca on F uptake by this accumulating plant species. METHODS: The effect of pH was assessed in two experiments, one using uptake solutions with different pHs, and the other using lime, as CaO, applied to the soil. The effect of Ca was examined by analysing F concentrations in plants supplied with varying amounts of Ca, as Ca(NO3)2, either in uptake solutions or through the soil. KEY RESULTS: F uptake was highest at solution pH 5.5, and significantly lower at pH 4.0. In the soil experiment, leaf F decreased linearly with the amounts of lime, which raised the soil pH progressively from 4.32 to 4.91, 5.43, 5.89 and, finally, 6.55. Liming increased the water-soluble F content of the soil. Including Ca in the uptake solution or adding Ca to soil significantly decreased leaf F concentrations. The distribution pattern of F in tea plants was not altered by Ca treatment, with most F being allocated to leaves. The activity of F- in the uptake solution was unaffected and water-soluble F in the soil was sometimes increased by added Ca. CONCLUSIONS: F uptake by tea plants, which are inherently able to accumulate large quantities of F, was affected both by pH and by Ca levels in the medium. The reduced F uptake following Ca application appeared not to be due simply to the precipitation of CaF2 in solution and soil or to the complexing of Ca and F in roots, although these factors cannot be dismissed. It was more likely due to the effect of Ca on the properties of cell wall or membrane permeability in the solution experiments, and to alteration of F speciations and their quantities in soil solutions following Ca application.     

依赖于叶黄素循环的热耗散对茶树叶片防御强光破坏的相关试验研究
