金边卫矛抗寒性研究初探

比较观察了金边卫矛在自然越冬及人工冷驯化期间叶片组织结构及胞内淀粉的变化,并测定了未经冷驯化和经冷驯化的金边卫矛幼苗叶片的光响应曲线及两种处理苗在低温胁迫下的光合速率。结果表明：自然越冬及人工冷驯化期间叶片栅栏细胞出现的液泡分割现象以及胞内淀粉在低温驯化前累积、驯化后降解并在脱锻炼后重新积累,均表现出与植物抗寒性发育高度的一致性;与未驯化苗相比,驯化苗叶片的光合速率和光补偿点下降,光饱和点增大。低温胁迫72h后,驯化苗仍能维持一定的光合作用,而未驯化苗已无光合作用,表明冷驯化提高了幼苗在低温胁迫下光合作用的稳定性。亦对上述适应性变化与抗寒性的关系作了探讨。     

荞麦亲和与不亲和授粉后柱头和花粉管中ATP酶的超微细胞化学定位

利用磷酸铅淀淀技术对荞麦（Fagopyrum esculentum Monch.)pin型植株分别进行亲和授粉和不亲和授粉后的柱头、花粉粒、花粉管进行了ATPase的超微细胞化学定位。结果表明（1）亲和授粉和不亲和授粉后0.5h,柱头细胞的ATPase活性反应水平较低或基于无酶活性;柱头表面、柱头上附着的花粉粒内ATPase活性在不亲和授粉时较低,亲和授粉时较高,花粉粒内ATPase主要定位于线粒体和精子细胞;（2）授粉后1.5h,不亲和授粉的柱头细胞及花粉管的ATPase活性均较低,花粉管停止生长,细胞质开始解体;而亲和授粉的柱头细胞及花粉管的ATPase活性均较高,ATPase主要定位于柱头细胞的质膜、胞基质以及花粉管的壁、质体的膜、高尔基体、线粒体上。根据不同时期不同部位ATPase活性的差异,我们认为荞麦发生自交不亲和时,花粉管在花柱中停止生长不仅是因此花粉管得不到花柱中的营养物质而引起的,可能也与花粉管自身物质代谢发生障碍有关。

利用磷酸铅沉淀技术对荞麦(Fagopyrum esculentum Month.)pin型植株分别进行亲和授粉和不亲和授粉后的柱头、花粉粒、花粉管进行了ATPase的超微细胞化学定位。结果表明(1)亲和授粉和不亲和授粉后0.5h,柱头细胞的ATPase活性反应水平较低或基本无酶活性;柱头表面、柱头上附着的花粉粒内ATPase活性在不亲和授粉时较低,亲和授粉时较高,花粉粒内ATPase主要定位于线粒体和精子细胞;(2)授粉后1.5h,不亲和授粉的柱头细胞及花粉管的ATPase活性均较低,花粉管停止生长,细胞质开始解体;而亲和授粉的柱头细胞及花粉管的ATPase活性均较高,ATPase主要定位于柱头细胞的质膜、胞基质以及花粉管的壁、质体的膜、高尔基体、线粒体上。根据不同时期不同部位ATPase活性的差异,我们认为荞麦发生自交不亲和时,花粉管在花柱中停止生长不仅是因为花粉管得不到花柱中的营养物质而引起的,可能也与花粉管自身物质代谢发生障碍有关。     

小麦珠心细胞衰退过程中ATP酶的超微细胞化学定位

采用磷酸铅沉淀技术对小麦（Ｔｒｉｔｉｃｕｍ ａｅｓｔｉｖｕｍ ）珠心细胞衰退过程进行了ＡＴＰ酶的超微细胞化学定位。初始衰退的珠心细胞,ＡＴＰ酶只定位于细胞膜上,其它部位未见有ＡＴＰ酶活性。衰退中期的珠心细胞,细胞膜上ＡＴＰ酶活性减弱并逐渐消失;细胞核染色质和细胞质中一些细胞器上存在ＡＴＰ酶活性。在严重衰退的珠心细胞中,只在细胞核染色质上存在ＡＴＰ酶活性。珠心细胞的细胞核以两种方式衰退。衰退的细胞核染色质碎片仍存在ＡＴＰ酶活性,并向胚囊方向转移。推测小麦珠心细胞衰退过程中细胞膜上ＡＴＰ酶变化反映了珠心细胞生理状态转变;细胞核染色质上ＡＴＰ酶与其形态变化和运动等有关     

冷和盐预处理提高水稻幼苗抗寒性期间细胞Ca^2＋—ATP酶活性的变化

冷和盐预处理显著提高水稻（OryzasatwaL．）幼苗的抗寒性,但两预处理诱导提高的抗寒性可为钙的螫合剂EGTA和钙调素的抑制剂CPZ所抑制。冷预处理有提高很质膜、液泡膜和叶片的叶绿体Ca2 ．ATPase活性和质膜Fe（CN）3-6还原活性的作用,其中对提高根质膜Ca2 －ATPase活性和Fe（CN）3-6还原活性的作用尤为显著。盐预处理对提高根质膜、幼叶叶绿体Ca2 ATP酶活性和质膜Fe（CN）3-6还原活性的作用类似于冷预处理。虽然盐预处理苗液泡膜Ca2 －ATPase活性有所下降,但其活性仍明显高于未预处理苗,表明在低温胁迫下,两预处理苗都有较强的维持Ca2 稳态能力。结果揭示,冷和盐预处理诱导水稻幼苗抗寒性的提高,可能均与在低温胁迫下两预处理能有效地维持或激活Ca@ －ATPase活性有关,两者有着类似的适应机制。

Changes in parameters of the plasmalemma ATPase during cold acclimation of apple (Mains domestica) tree bark tissues

A plasmalemma fraction was isolated from homogenized apple tree (Mains domestica Borkh 'Golden Delicious') hark tissues using aqueous phase partitioning and ultra-centrifugation. Results of marker enzyme assays indicated that a membrane preparation highly enriched in plasma membranes was obtained. ATPase activity in this preparation possessed a high specificity for ATP as substrate, was inhibited by vanadate, diethylstilbcsterol and dicyclohexylcarbocHimide, and was insensitive to inhibitors of mitochondria! and tonoplasl ATPases. Specific activity of the plasma-lemma ATPase increased during cold acclimation prior to the attainment of vegetative maturity. Kinetic parameters (Km, Vln) determined from assays performed at different temperatures (10, 30°C) indicated a differential effect of cold acclimation on enzyme activity. Vm increased during cold acclimation, whereas Km increased when determined at 30°C but declined at 10°C. Acclimation treatments during April and May resulted in alteration of ATPase kinetics in the absence of any increase in bark frost hardiness. Changes in ATPase kinetics may be related more to enhanced low temperature metabolism than to frost hardiness per se.     

Proteins accumulate in the apoplast of winter rye leaves during cold acclimation

During cold acclimation, winter rye ( Secale cereale L.) plants develop the ability to tolerate freezing temperatures by forming ice in intercellular spaces and xylem vessels. In this study, proteins were extracted from the apoplast of rye leaves to determine their role in controlling extracellular ice formation. Several polypeptides in the 15 to 32 kDa range accumulated in the leaf apoplast during cold acclimation at 5°C and decreased during deacclimation at 20°C. A second group of polypeptides (63, 65 and 68 kDa) appeared only when the leaves were maximally frost tolerant. Ice nucleation activity, as well as the previously reported antifreeze activity, was higher in apoplastic extracts from cold-acclimated than from nonacclimated rye leaves. These results indicate that apoplastic proteins exert a direct influence on the growth of ice. In addition, freezing injury was greater in extracted cold-acclimated leaves than in unextracted cold-acclimated leaves, which suggests that the proteins present in the apoplast are an important component of the mechanism by which winter rye leaves tolerate ice formation     

Photoinhibition at chilling temperatures and effects of freezing stress on cold acclimated spinach leaves in the field. A fluorescence study

The role of high light stress in a natural environment was studied on spinach plants ( Spinacia oleracea L. cv. Wolter) grown in the field during the winter season. Fluorescence induction (at 293 K and 77 K) of leaves was used to characterize the stress effects. Night frost with minimum temperatures between – 1.5°C and –7.5°C (i.e. above the'frost killing point'at ca. –11.5°C) led to impaired photosynthesis. This was seen as increased initial fluorescence (F_o), decreased ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence (F_V/F_M) and lowered rates of O₂ evolution. The freezing injury was reversible within several frostless days. Exposure to high light (about 900 mol m_–2 s_–1) at chilling temperatures in the field caused photoinhibition, manifested as decreased variable fluorescence (F_V) and F_V/F_M ratio without changes in F_O. The photoinhibitory fluorescence quenching was not stronger after frost than after frostless nights; synergism between light stress and preceding freezing stress was not observed. Fluorescence induction signals at 77 K showed that F_V of photosystems I and II decreased to the same extent, indicating increased thermal deactivation of excited chlorophyll. Photoinhibition was fully reversible at +4°C within 1 h in low light, but only partially in moderate light. Preceding night frosts did not affect the recovery. The photoinhibition observed here is regarded as a protective system of thermal dissipation of excess light energy.     

The expression of a rab-related gene,rab18, is induced by abscisic acid during the cold acclimation process of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh

We have isolated a rab-related (responsive to ABA) gene, rab18 from Arabidopsis thaliana. The gene encodes a hydrophilic, glycine-rich protein (18.5 kDa), which contains the conserved serine- and lysine-rich domains characteristic of similar RAB proteins in other plant species. The rab18 mRNA accumulates in plants exposed to low temperature, water stress or exogenous ABA but not in plants subjected to heat shock. This stress-related accumulation of the rab18 mRNA is markedly decreased in the ABA-synthesis mutant aba-1, the ABA-response mutant abi-1 or in wild-type plants treated with the carotenoid synthesis inhibitor, fluridone. Exogenous ABA treatment can induce the rab18 mRNA in the aba-1 mutant but not in the abi-1 mutant. These results provide direct genetic evidence for the ABA-dependent regulation of the rab18 gene in A. thaliana.     

Changes in levels of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP in various tissues of the rat induced by cold acclimation

In the rat, the effects of cold acclimation on the content of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP were studied in various tissues concerned with increased heat production: brown and white adipose tissue, liver, heart, diaphragm, lungs, adrenals, thyroid. Significant cold-induced variations were observed only in those tissues in which the lipid metabolism is enhanced by cold (adipose tissues and liver). In these tissues, decrease in the cAMP/cGMP ratio indicates a role of cGMP in the regulation of the increased lipid metabolism.     

外源一氧化氮提高一年生黑麦草抗冷性机制

用不同浓度的一氧化氮(NO)供体硝普纳(sodiumnitroprusside,SNP)处理低温胁迫下1年生黑麦草幼苗,探讨外源NO对提高黑麦草幼苗抗冷性的作用。结果表明外源NO能减缓低温胁迫下黑麦草幼苗质膜相对透性的增加,促进脯氨酸(Pro)的积累,提高超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和过氧化物酶(POD)保护酶活性,其中POD酶活性的提高尤为显著。恢复生长时,经SNP处理的幼苗膜透性、脯氨酸和保护酶活性恢复较快,其中0.5mmol/LSNP处理的效果最为明显,0.2、1.0mmol/LSNP处理的效果次之。
