生长调节物质和可溶性糖含量对丹参中丹酚酸类物质积累的影响

采用盆栽实验研究了生长调节物质水杨酸（SA）、茉莉酸甲酯（MeJA）、赤霉素（GA3）对不同生长时期丹参植株中非结构糖含量、碳/氮比及根中丹酚酸类物质积累的影响;并进一步测定培养基中不同浓度蔗糖、葡萄糖、果糖对丹参毛状根中丹酚酸类物质积累的影响,对盆栽实验的结论进行了验证。结果显示,SA处理的丹参幼苗及花后期植株中蔗糖含量有增加趋势,而MeJA处理的丹参幼苗及花后期植株及GA3处理的丹参花后期植株中蔗糖积累均有降低趋势;且SA、MeJA和GA3处理对花后期植株地上和地下部分碳/氮比的影响不同。然而,SA和MeJA处理的丹参幼苗及花后期植株地上部分和根中还原糖含量、GA3处理的花后期植株根中还原糖含量均显著增加;同时,SA和MeJA处理的丹参幼苗根中迷迭香酸含量,以及SA、MeJA、GA3处理的花后期植株根中迷迭香酸含量和丹酚酸类总量显著增加。毛状根培养结果进一步证明,葡萄糖促进毛状根中迷迭香酸的产生,增加丹酚酸类总量,毛状根中迷迭香酸、丹酚酸B的积累及丹酚酸类总量与培养基中蔗糖浓度不相关。可见,丹参（植株）根中丹酚酸类物质的产生和积累受SA、MeJA和GA3的诱导,其与碳/氮比及植株中蔗糖含量没有相关性,推测植株中葡萄糖含量的增加促进根中丹酚酸类物质的积累。     

UV-B辐射和干旱对丹参生长和叶片中酚酸类成分的影响

在3种UV-B辐射强度以及3种干旱的单因子以及复合作用下,采用盆栽法对丹参植株生物量、叶面积、株高等形态指标和光合参数以及叶片中丹酚酸B、迷迭香酸、咖啡酸和丹参素含量的变化进行研究。旨在探索西北干旱、半干旱地区强光和干旱对丹参生物量和叶片中酚酸类含量的影响,为丹参的深入开发利用提供依据。结果表明:干旱和UV-B辐射单因子作用均对丹参生长指标有抑制作用,而对酚酸积累有促进作用;相比于干旱,UV-B辐射的影响更加显著。UV-B辐射显著引起植株矮化、叶面积减小、生物量降低、净光合速率降低以及叶片中酚酸类物质含量增加,两种因子复合作用对酚酸类物质积累的效果表现为复杂的加强或交互抗性作用。两种因子单独和复合作用处理下,适宜水分和重度UV-B辐射复合处理(75%T2)最有利于丹参叶片中酚酸类物质积累。     

水杨酸和茉莉酸甲酯对丹参幼苗叶片显微结构、光合及非结构糖积累的影响

研究了水杨酸(SA)和茉莉酸甲酯(MeJA)处理对丹参(Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge)幼苗叶片显微结构、叶片光合能力及幼苗中非结构糖积累的影响.结果显示:SA处理增加了丹参幼苗叶片气孔密度;叶肉细胞排列紧密、体积减小,叶肉细胞内叶绿体数目减少,但叶绿体体积增大,叶绿体基粒片层结构的数目增加;叶片中叶绿素a、b含量、叶气孔导度、蒸腾速率以及净光合速率均增加;同时,幼苗根中和叶片中酸性转化酶活性降低,幼苗地上部分蔗糖含量及可溶性糖总量显著高于对照.MeJA处理减少了叶片气孔密度,气孔发育畸形;叶肉细胞间隙增大,栅栏细胞层数减少,叶肉细胞内叶绿体数目减少,叶绿体体积减小,叶绿体基粒片层结构被破坏;叶片中叶绿素a及类胡萝卜素含量、叶片的净光合速率低于对照,叶气孔导度、蒸腾速率增强;同时,幼苗根中及叶中酸性转化酶活性增加,幼苗根中蔗糖含量及可溶性糖总量显著低于对照.可见,SA处理能促进植物叶片显微结构发育,增强叶片光合能力,抑制蔗糖降解并促进蔗糖积累;而MeJA处理则破坏了植物叶片显微结构,降低了叶片光合能力,促进了蔗糖降解并减少蔗糖积累.     

镉胁迫对丹参生长及有效成分积累的影响研究

采用盆栽试验方法,研究了镉（Cd2＋）对丹参（Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge）的生长及其有效成分积累的影响。结果表明,镉胁迫下丹参的生长受到了显著抑制,体内Cd2＋残留量、可溶性蛋白含量和膜脂过氧化程度显著增加,叶绿素含量降低。与对照相比,镉胁迫下丹参叶片水溶性酚酸类化合物咖啡酸和迷迭香酸的含量显著降低（P〈0．05）,原儿茶酸含量增加,丹参素、原儿茶醛和丹酚酸B的含量也降低,但变化均不显著（P〉0．05）。而根系中这6种酚酸类化合物含量均降低,其中迷迭香酸的含量变化极显著（P〈0．01）。镉胁迫下丹参根系脂溶性丹参酮类化合物二氢丹参酮、丹参酮I和隐丹参酮含量均显著降低,而丹参酮lIA含量变化不显著。丹参叶片中水溶性酚酸类化合物合成关键酶苯丙氨酸解氨酶（PAL）和酪氨酸氨基转移酶（TAT）的活性显著降低,而肉桂酸4一羟化酶（C4H）和4一香豆酸CoA连接酶（4CL）的活性显著升高。这些结果均说明镉胁迫可以降低丹参的产量和质量。     

不同生长季节丹参营养器官中有效成分的动态变化

分析了三年生丹参不同季节营养器官中几种有效成分的变化规律。结果表明：（1）丹参地上部分丹参素、原儿茶醛和咖啡酸的含量在整个生长季节中显著高于根的;丹酚酸B和迷迭香酸的含量除8月份达到最高和最低外,其他月份差异不显著;（2）6-8月地上部分的5种水溶性酚酸类成分的含量均显著变化,而根中除咖啡酸在6月积累较低外,其它酚酸在整个生长季节的积累量变化不明显;（3）在整个生长季节,根系丹参酮ⅡA和隐丹参酮含量变化不显著,而二氢丹参酮和丹参酮Ⅰ的含量呈现上升趋势。总体来说,三年生丹参秋季采挖为宜,其地上部分水溶性成分含量较大,值得进一步开发。     

丹参水溶性成分的地域分布特点分析

分析全国不同产地丹参中水溶性成分的含量变化情况及其地域分布特点。采用HPLC法测定不同产地丹参水溶性成分的含量,运用SAS统计软件分析丹参水溶性成分相关性及其地域分布特点。回归分析表明,丹参素与丹酚酸A含量呈负相关,原儿茶醛与迷迭香酸含量呈负相关,咖啡酸与丹参素含量呈负相关,丹酚酸B与丹酚酸A、丹参素含量呈正相关。聚类分析表明,三个野生药材与山东和河南大部分产地、四川中江栽培药材水溶性成分较高聚为一类。建议丹参药材中丹参素≥0.14%,原儿茶醛≥0.01%,咖啡酸≥0.01%,迷迭香酸≥0.17%,丹酚酸B≥3.0%,丹酚酸A≥0.01%。丹参的水溶性成分呈现地域性差异,传统道地产区的含量较高。     

一氧化氮信号在脱落酸诱导丹参酚酸类成分积累中的作用

为探讨一氧化氮(Nitric oxide,NO)信号在脱落酸(Abscisic acid,ABA)诱导丹参酚酸类成分积累中的作用,采用不同浓度一氧化氮外源供体硝普钠(Sodium nitroprusside,SNP)处理丹参毛状根,6 d后采收,测定酚酸类成分含量;ABA联合一氧化氮清除剂(2-(4-carboxy-2-phenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide,c-PTIO)或一氧化氮合酶抑制剂(N~G-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester,L-NAME)对丹参毛状根进行处理,测定酚酸类成分含量和关键基因表达量。结果表明,100μmol/L SNP对丹参毛状根中迷迭香酸与丹酚酸B积累的诱导效果最显著,迷迭香酸和丹酚酸B含量分别增加了3倍和4倍。ABA处理能显著促进PAL(Phenylalanine ammonia lyase)、TAT(Tyrosine aminotransferase)和RAS(Rosmarinic acid synthase)基因的表达,促进丹参毛状根中酚酸类成分的积累,而联合c-PTIO或L-NAME共同处理后,3种关键基因表达下调,并显著抑制了酚酸类成分的积累。研究证明NO和ABA均能够促进丹酚酸类成分的积累,NO信号可能介导了ABA对丹酚酸生物合成的诱导作用。     

Cu2+胁迫对丹参生长及有效成分积累的影响

研究了土壤Cu²⁺胁迫对丹参（Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge）的生长和有效成分积累的影响。结果表明,与对照相比,Cu²⁺胁迫下丹参的生长受到抑制,土壤和丹参体内Cu²⁺残留量、膜脂过氧化程度增加,而叶绿素含量降低。此外,与对照相比,Cu²⁺胁迫下丹参地上部分中水溶性酚酸类成分咖啡酸、丹参素和原儿茶酸含量增加,迷迭香酸、原儿茶醛和丹酚酸B含量显著降低,而根系中这6种酚酸类成分和4种脂溶性丹参酮类成分二氢丹参酮、隐丹参酮、丹参酮Ⅰ、丹参酮ⅡA的含量均降低。表明铜胁迫抑制了丹参的生长,影响了有效成分的积累。

Redox-related peroxidative responses evoked by methyl-jasmonate in axenically cultured aeroponic sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) seedling roots

Methyl-jasmonate (MeJA) has been proposed to be involved in the evocation of defense reactions, as the oxidative burst in plants, substituting the elicitors or enhancing their effect. 48 h dark- and sterilely cultured (axenic) aeroponic sunflower seedling roots excised and treated with different concentrations of MeJA showed a strong and quick depression of the H(+) efflux rate, 1.80 microM MeJA totally stopping it for approximately 90 min and then reinitiating it again at a lower rate than controls. These results were wholly similar to those obtained with nonsterilely cultured roots and have been interpreted as mainly based on H(+) consumption for O(2)(*-) dismutation to H(2)O(2). Also K(+) influx was strongly depressed by MeJA, even transitorily reverting to K(+) efflux. These results were consistent with those associated to the oxidative burst in plants. MeJA induced massive H(2)O(2) accumulation in the middle lamella and intercellular spaces of both the root cap cells and the inside tissues of the roots. The native acidic extracellular peroxidase activity of the intact (nonexcised) seedling roots showed a sudden enhancement (by about 52%) after 5 min of MeJA addition, maintained for approximately 15 min and then decaying again to control rates. O(2) uptake by roots gave similar results. These and other results for additions of H(2)O(2) or horseradish peroxidase, diphenylene iodonium, and sodium diethyldithiocarbamate trihydrate to the reaction mixture with roots were all consistent with the hypothesis that MeJA induced an oxidative burst, with the generation of H(2)O(2) being necessary for peroxidase activity. Results with peroxidase activity of the apoplastic fluid were in accordance with those of the whole root. Finally, MeJA enhanced NADH oxidation and inhibited hexacyanoferrate(III) reduction by axenic roots, and diphenylene iodonium cancelled out these effects. Redox activities by CN(-)- preincubated roots were also studied. All these results are consistent with the hypothesis that MeJA enhanced the NAD(P)H oxidase of a redox chain linked to the oxidative burst, so enhancing the generation of O(2)(*-) and H(2)O(2), O(2) uptake, and peroxidase activity by roots.     

Coregulation of soybean vegetative storage protein gene expression by methyl jasmonate and soluble sugars

The soybean vegetative storage protein genes vspA and vspB are highly expressed in developing leaves, stems, flowers, and pods as compared with roots, seeds, and mature leaves and stems. In this paper, we report that physiological levels of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and soluble sugars synergistically stimulate accumulation of vsp mRNAs. Treatment of excised mature soybean (Glycine max Merr. cv Williams) leaves with 0.2 molar sucrose and 10 micromolar MeJA caused a large accumulation of vsp mRNAs, whereas little accumulation occurred when these compounds were supplied separately. In soybean cell suspension cultures, the synergistic effect of sucrose and MeJA on the accumulation of vspB mRNA was maximal at 58 millimolar sucrose and was observed with fructose or glucose substituted for sucrose. In dark-grown soybean seedlings, the highest levels of vsp mRNAs occurred in the hypocotyl hook, which also contained high levels of MeJA and soluble sugars. Lower levels of vsp mRNAs, MeJA, and soluble sugars were found in the cotyledons, roots, and nongrowing regions of the stem. Wounding of mature soybean leaves induced a large accumulation of vsp mRNAs when wounded plants were incubated in the light. Wounded plants kept in the dark or illuminated plants sprayed with dichlorophenyldimethylurea, an inhibitor of photosynthetic electron transport, showed a greatly reduced accumulation of vsp mRNAs. The time courses for the accumulation of vsp mRNAs induced by wounding or sucrose/MeJA treatment were similar. These results strongly suggest that vsp expression is coregulated by endogenous levels of MeJA (or jasmonic acid) and soluble carbohydrate during normal vegetative development and in wounded leaves.     

Effect of Methyl Jasmonate on the Germination and the Degradation of Storage Reserve in Rice Seed

The effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJA, Nippon Zeon Co., Ltd, Tokyo, Japan) on germination and the degradation of storage reserve in rice （Oryza sativa L.） seeds were studied. There were dual effects of MeJA on seed germination and seedling growth of rice, low concentration of MeJA promoted germination and seedling growth whereas high concentration of MeJA inhibited germination and seedling growth. The optimal concentration of promotion was 5×10-7 mol/L. The acid phosphatase activity, α-amylase activity, degradation of starch and salt-soluble proteins were affected same as germination by MeJA. MeJA inhibited the degradation of glutelins, the higher the concentration, the higher the extent of inhibition above 5×10-7 mol/L.The results showed that either promotion or inhibition of germination by MeJA was very close to the effect on the activity of α-amylase. The mechanisms between abscisic acid and MeJA affection on seed germination and seedling growth were compared.     

Effect of water deficit on carbohydrate status and enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism in seedlings of wheat cultivars

The effect of water deficit on carbohydrate status and enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism (alpha and beta amylases, sucrose phosphate synthase, sucrose synthase, acid and alkaline invertases) in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was investigated in the seedlings of drought-sensitive (PBW 343) and drought-tolerant (C 306) cultivars. The water deficit was induced by adding 6% mannitol (water potential -0.815 Mpa) in the growth medium. The water deficit reduced starch content in the shoots of tolerant seedlings as compared to the sensitive ones, but increased sucrose content in the shoots and roots of tolerant seedlings, indicating their protective role during stress conditions. It also decreased the alpha-amylase activity in the endosperm of seedlings of both the cultivars, but increased alpha and beta amylase activities in the shoots of tolerant ones. Sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) activity showed a significant increase at 6 days of seedling growth (DSG) in the shoots of stressed seedlings of tolerant cultivar. However, SPS activity in the roots of stressed seedlings of sensitive cultivar was very low at 4 DSG and appeared significantly only at day 6. Sucrose synthase (SS) activity was lower in the shoots and roots of stressed seedlings of tolerant cultivar than sensitive ones at early stage of seedling growth. Higher acid invertase activity in the shoots of seedlings of tolerant cultivar appeared to be a unique characteristic of this cultivar for stress tolerance. Alkaline invertase activity, although affected under water deficit conditions, but was too low as compared to acid invertase activity to cause any significant affect on sucrose hydrolysis. In conclusion, higher sucrose content with high SPS and low acid invertase and SS activities in the roots under water deficit conditions could be responsible for drought tolerance of C 306.     

Redox-related peroxidative responses evoked by methyl-jasmonate in axenically cultured aeroponic sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) seedling roots

Summary.  Methyl-jasmonate (MeJA) has been proposed to be involved in the evocation of defense reactions, as the oxidative burst in plants, substituting the elicitors or enhancing their effect. 48 h dark- and sterilely cultured (axenic) aeroponic sunflower seedling roots excised and treated with different concentrations of MeJA showed a strong and quick depression of the H⁺ efflux rate, 1.80 μM MeJA totally stopping it for approximately 90 min and then reinitiating it again at a lower rate than controls. These results were wholly similar to those obtained with nonsterilely cultured roots and have been interpreted as mainly based on H⁺ consumption for O₂ ^•− dismutation to H₂O₂. Also K⁺ influx was strongly depressed by MeJA, even transitorily reverting to K⁺ efflux. These results were consistent with those associated to the oxidative burst in plants. MeJA induced massive H₂O₂ accumulation in the middle lamella and intercellular spaces of both the root cap cells and the inside tissues of the roots. The native acidic extracellular peroxidase activity of the intact (nonexcised) seedling roots showed a sudden enhancement (by about 52%) after 5 min of MeJA addition, maintained for approximately 15 min and then decaying again to control rates. O₂ uptake by roots gave similar results. These and other results for additions of H₂O₂ or horseradish peroxidase, diphenylene iodonium, and sodium diethyldithiocarbamate trihydrate to the reaction mixture with roots were all consistent with the hypothesis that MeJA induced an oxidative burst, with the generation of H₂O₂ being necessary for peroxidase activity. Results with peroxidase activity of the apoplastic fluid were in accordance with those of the whole root. Finally, MeJA enhanced NADH oxidation and inhibited hexacyanoferrate(III) reduction by axenic roots, and diphenylene iodonium cancelled out these effects. Redox activities by CN⁻- preincubated roots were also studied. All these results are consistent with the hypothesis that MeJA enhanced the NAD(P)H oxidase of a redox chain linked to the oxidative burst, so enhancing the generation of O₂ ^•− and H₂O₂, O₂ uptake, and peroxidase activity by roots.

MeJA熏蒸叶片对新疆沙冬青根细胞跨膜离子流及抗盐性的影响

土壤盐渍化是植物生长的主要逆境之一。茉莉酸类物质与植物抗逆性密切相关。以国家二级保护植物新疆沙冬青为实验材料,利用非损伤微测技术,从动态离子流转运的角度研究了MeJA预处理后Nacl处理对新疆沙冬青根部K＋、H＋、Na＋流的影响。结果表明,MeJA预处理的新疆沙冬青经盐胁迫后根冠区瞬时K＋外流低于未经MeJA预处理的对照植株,H＋外流强度大于对照植株;新疆沙冬青根尖区域（0～3000μm）经MeJA和Nacl（50mmol·L-1,24h）预处理,解除NaCl胁迫后观察到Na＋外流和H＋内流,流速高于对照植株。表明适当浓度MeJA预处理能有效提高新疆沙冬青苗期抗盐性。     

Reflexions on some aspects of the interactions among ROS,RNS, and Ca2+ in response to a mycorrhizal or a pathogenic fungus

In vivo redox activities in the apoplast of axenically cultured intact seedling roots (superoxide anion generation, and superoxide dismutase and peroxidase activities) in contact with the compatible arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) were clearly attenuated in comparison with those in contact with the pathogenic fungus (PF) or treated with MeJA, even at the early stages of treatment. Contact of roots with the AMF did not enhance the biosynthesis of phenolic compounds (total phenolics, flavonoids, and phenylpropanoid glycosides), while contact with the PF significantly enhanced the biosynthesis of all phenolic fractions. Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species both seemed to be involved in these responses from the first moments of contact, but the fluorescence imaging of roots showed that ROS were mainly accumulated in the apoplast while NO was mainly stored in the cytosol. In conclusion, intact olive seedling roots clearly differentiated between AMF and PF.
