模拟酸雨及其酸化土壤对小麦幼苗体内可溶性糖和含氮量的影响

以小麦为试材,采用盆栽方法研究了模拟酸雨及其酸化土壤对小麦幼苗体内可溶性糖和含N量的影响.结果表明,pH值为5.6、4.5、3.5、3.0和2.5的系列模拟酸雨引起了土壤酸化和盐基流失.当模拟酸雨的pH值由5.6下降到2.5时,被淋溶土壤的pH值由.0下降到3.41,土壤中交换性盐基总量从56.5下降到41.1mmol·kg^-1.将小麦幼苗栽培在该系列酸化土壤上,并分别用5种不同pH值的模拟酸雨喷淋地上器官,导致小麦幼苗体内的可溶性糖含量、含N量迅速下降,某些生理活动降低.其中,模拟酸雨喷淋对小麦幼苗茎叶可溶性糖含量、含N量、叶绿素含量以及光合速率的影响大于酸化土壤对其产生的影响.而酸化土壤对小麦幼苗根系中可溶性糖含量、含N量、硝酸还原酶(NR)和谷氨酸合成酶(GOGAT)活性的影响大于模拟酸雨喷淋的影响.pH≤3.0的高强度酸雨以及由其产生的酸化土壤(T₄、T₅土壤)对小麦幼苗的碳素代谢和氮素代谢具有明显的抑制作用.     

模拟酸雨对农作物生长和产量影响的初步研究

 本文报道了模拟酸雨对小麦、水稻、大豆和白菜的生长与产量影响的试验。模拟酸雨含自然酸雨中已知的离子成分。模拟酸雨PH值为5.6、4.5、4.0、3.5、3.0、2.5和2.0。结果指出：大豆和白菜叶片的可见伤害阈值为pH2.5,水稻和小麦的可见伤害阈值分别为pH2.0和pH3.0,大豆和白菜的电导度随酸雨的pH值下降而增加,pH3.5的模拟酸雨可引起白菜叶片叶绿素含量减少,叶绿素a／叶绿素b的比值发生变化;pH3.0的模拟酸雨使大豆和小麦叶片叶绿素含量下降,叶绿素a／叶绿素b比值改变。pH3.5的模拟酸雨就可抑制白菜生长;pH3.0的模拟酸雨对小麦和大豆生长产生抑制．pH3.5的模拟酸雨造成小麦和白菜减产;pH3.0引起大豆产量下降;pH2.5时,对水稻生长和产量没有影响。大麦和大豆减产主要由酸雨引起籽粒重下降而造成的。

Purification and characterization of nitrate reductase from nodule cytosol of soybean plants

Nodulated soybean ( Glycine max [L.] Merr.) plants were grown in a nitrogen-free liquid culture medium prepared with distilled water. The cytosol fraction from root nodules showed a significant level of NADH-dependent nitrate reductase activity, even when the root did not show activity. This nitrate reductase was purified by column chromatography and native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The purified protein showed a main band at 100 kDa on sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-PAGE. The K _m value for nitrate was 0.16 m M , and the highest activity was obtained at around pH 7.5. These characteristics are very similar to the inducible type of nitrate reductase, previously purified from soybean leaves. The developmental change in activity of this enzyme corresponded to that in nitrogenase activity.     

Combined Effect and Mechanism of Acidity and Lead Ion on Soybean Biomass

Heavy metal pollution and soil acidification are serious global environmental issues. The combined pollution from acidification and heavy metal has become a new environmental issue in regions where the two issues simultaneously occur. However, studies on combined pollution are still limited. In the current study, we investigated the combined effect and mechanism of acidity and heavy metal [lead ion (Pb²⁺)] on soybean biomass as well as on growth, nitrogen nutrition, and antioxidant system in soybean roots. Results showed that the combined treatment with acidity and Pb²⁺ decreased the soybean biomass. At pH 4.5, the soybean biomass in the combined treatment with acidity and 0.9 mmol L^?1 Pb²⁺ was lower than that in the combined treatment with acidity and Pb²⁺ at 0.3 or 1.5 mmol L^?1. This result was also observed at pH 3.5 and 3.0. The combined treatment with acidity and Pb²⁺ also resulted in the following consequences: root growth inhibition; decrease in nitrate, ammonium, and malondialdehyde contents; increase in nitrite reductase activity; and decrease in peroxidase activity. The extent at which the test indexes decreased/increased in the combined treatment was higher than that in the single acidity treatment. The correlation analysis results indicated that the decrease in the soybean biomass in the combined treatment with acidity and Pb²⁺ resulted from the decrease in the root growth, nitrate–nitrogen assimilation, and peroxidase activity.     

Responses of maternal siblings ofPinus densiflora to simulated add rain

Because most research on acid rain does not consider the genetic composition of seeds and the inherent variations in seed mass and germination date, the potentially diverse patterns of plant response are neglected within a population. Therefore, we examined the effects of both family identity and simulated acid rain onPinus densiflora seedlings over a 34-week period, beginning at germination. We were able to evaluate the importance of family and pH treatment independent of seed mass and germination date by considering the latter two variables as covariates. Seeds were collected from six randomly chosen trees that were assumed to represent different genotypes. After germination in a controlled environment, the seedlings were moved outdoors. Each was then subjected twice a week to 40 mL of simulated acid rain, at a pH of either 3.0 or 5.6. We examined variations in germination date, seedling height, needle numbers and lengths, and root and shoot masses. The maternal family effect was significant for all characters over the entire test period. Strong effects of pH treatment were detected only at the later growth stages. Artificial rain with a pH of 3.0 enhanced growth rates, particularly aboveground, compared with seedlings treated with pH 5.6 rain. However, regardless of pH, certain groups of maternal siblings consistently performed better in almost all parameters. The exception was for mean germination date, which differed among families only at a pH of 3.0. Therefore, although we demonstrated that acid rain affected both the date of germination as well as seedling growth rates inP. densiflora, the responses differed among maternal families, and were also associated with seed mass and germination date.     

模拟秋季酸雨对三角枫叶片光合生理特性的影响

以三角枫幼苗为材料,采用盆栽方法,研究了pH 5.6、pH 4.0、pH 3.0和pH 2.0酸度模拟酸雨胁迫对三角枫叶片光合生理特性的影响,以探讨酸雨胁迫下三角枫的光合生理响应机制。结果显示:(1)随着酸雨浓度的增加和胁迫时间的延长,三角枫叶片相对叶绿素含量下降幅度逐步增大;叶片丙二醛含量呈逐渐上升的趋势,且各处理均显著高于对照;叶片质膜透性和脯氨酸含量均呈先升高后降低的趋势,且pH 2.0处理的叶片质膜透性在试验20d时迅速增大,升高幅度最大(146.3%)。(2)叶片净光合速率、蒸腾速率、水分利用效率、表观光能利用效率以及表观CO2利用效率在胁迫下也均呈显著下降趋势,且以pH 3.0和pH 2.0处理降幅最大。研究表明,pH 4.0的模拟酸雨对三角枫叶片的光合生理指标无显著影响,而pH≤3.0的强酸雨胁迫使三角枫叶片叶绿素含量显著下降、膜保护系统受损、光合作用效率显著下降;三角枫能适应弱酸雨(pH≥4.0)环境,可作为酸雨地区的园林绿化树种。     

Effect of amino compounds on nitrate utilization by roots of dwarf bean

Amino compounds (1 mM, pH 5) were given prior to, together with, or after the addition of nitrate to study their effect on nitrate uptake and in vivo nitrate reductase activity (NRA) in roots of Phaseolus vulgaris. The effect of amino compounds varied with the amino species, the nitrate status of the plant (induced vs uninduced) and the aspect of nitrate utilization. Cysteine inhibited the nitrate uptake rate and root NRA under all conditions tested. NRA in uninduced roots was stimulated by tryptophan, and arginine inhibited NRA under all conditions tested. Uptake was inhibited by aspartate and glutamate and stimulated by leucine when these amino compounds were given prior to or after completion of the apparent induction of nitrate uptake. In the presence of β-alanine and tryptophan, induction of uptake was accelerated.     

Impact of low pH and aluminium on nitrogen uptake and metabolism in roots of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Lotus japonicus</Emphasis>

The effect of low pH and aluminum on nitrogen uptake and metabolism was studied in roots of Lotus japonicus grown in hydroponic cultures. The low pH slightly suppressed root elongation, and this effect was accompanied by the suppression of nitrate and ammonia uptake, as well as the nitrate reductase activity. In spite of high resistance of young Lotus plants to short-term Al application, the one-day treatment of Al strongly reduced nitrate uptake and also the activity of nitrate reductase (NRA) in the apical parts of roots. The glutamine synthetase activity was also suppressed by Al treatment, but in lower extent. On the other hand, the ammonium uptake and nitrite reductase activity stayed unchanged by Al treatment and the values were practically the same as in control plants. These results support the view that nitrate uptake and nitrate reduction might be the main processes responsible for Al induced growth retardation in Lotus plants grown in mineral acid soils.     

Effects of simulated acid rain on germination,seedling growth and oxidative metabolism of recalcitrant‐seeded Trichilia dregeana grown in its natural seed bank

Increased air pollution in a number of developing African countries, together with the reports of vegetation damage typically associated with acid precipitation in commercial forests in South Africa, has raised concerns over the potential impacts of acid rain on natural vegetation in these countries. Recalcitrant (i.e. desiccation sensitive) seeds of many indigenous African species, e.g. must germinate shortly after shedding and hence, may not be able to avoid exposure to acid rain in polluted areas. This study investigated the effects of simulated acid rain (rainwater with pH adjusted to pH 3.0 and 4.5 with 70:30, H₂SO₄:HNO₃) on germination, seedling growth and oxidative metabolism in a recalcitrant‐seeded African tree species Trichilia dregeana Sond., growing in its natural seed bank. The results suggest that acid rain did not compromise T. dregeana seed germination and seedling establishment significantly, relative to the control (non‐acidified rainwater). However, pH 3.0 treated seedlings exhibited signs of stress typically associated with acid rain: leaf tip necrosis, abnormal bilobed leaf tips, leaf necrotic spots and chlorosis, reduced leaf chlorophyll concentration, increased stomatal density and indications of oxidative stress. This may explain why total and root biomass of pH 3.0 treated seedlings were significantly lower than the control. Acid rain also induced changes in the species composition and relative abundance of the different life forms emerging from T. dregeana's natural seed bank and in this way could indirectly impact on T. dregeana seedling establishment success.     

Influence of ammonium and nitrate nutrition on enzymatic activity in soybean and sunflower

Under conditions of controlled pH, nitrate and ammonium are equally effective in supporting the growth of young soybean (Glycine max var. Bansei) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. var., Mammoth Russian) plans. Soybean contains an active nitrate reductase in roots and leaves, but the low specific activity of this enzyme in sunflower leaves indicates a dependency upon the roots for nitrate reduction. Suppression of nitrate reductase activity in sunflower leaves may be due to high concentrations of ammonia received from the roots. Nitrate reductase activity in leaves of nitrate-supplied soybean and sunflower follows closely the distribution of nitrate reductase. For the roots of both species, glutamic acid dehydrogenase activity was greater with ammonium than with nitrate. The glutamic acid dehydrogenase of ammonium roots is wholly NADH-dependent, whereas that of nitrate roots is active with NADH and NADPH. In leaves, an NADPH-dependent glutamic acid dehydrogenase appears to be responsible for the assimilation of translocated ammonia and ammonia formed by nitrate reduction.     

Effect of salicylic acid on nitrate reductase activity in maize seedlings

The effect of different concentrations of salicylic acid on total Kjeldahl nitrogen and nitrate reductase activity in the maize ( Zea mays L.) seedling was studied. The total nitrogen of the maize embryonic axis (root + shoot) from seedlings raised with 10 m M Ca(NO₃)₂ for 5 days was substantially higher than that from the control when 0.01 m M salicylic acid was supplied. As supply of high (1 m M ) concentrations of salicylic acid decreased the accumulation of organic nitrogen. The in vivo activity of nitrate reductase in the roots increased at low concentrations of salicylic acid, while high concentrations were inhibitory. The stimulative concentration of the acid protected in vivo loss of nitrate reductase activity under non-inducing conditions, whereas it had no effect on in vitro loss of enzyme. It is suggested that salicylic acid increases in vivo enzyme activity indirectly, to some extent by protecting the natural inactivation of the enzyme.     

模拟酸雨对杜仲叶氮代谢的影响

 探讨了春夏两季模拟酸雨对杜仲(Eucommia ulmoides Oliv.)叶氮代谢的几个关键酶及相关物质含量的影响。结果表明：春夏两季杜仲叶硝酸还原酶(NR)、谷酰胺合成酶(GS)、谷氨酸脱氢酶(GDH)和谷丙转氨酶(GPT)活性在一定pH值酸雨胁迫下随酸雨pH值的降低而降低,夏季各酶活性下降率比春季高。杜仲叶可溶性蛋白质和总氮含量春夏两季也随酸雨pH值降低而降低(夏季可溶性蛋白含量与pH值呈正相关),总游离氨基酸含量则随pH值的降低而升高(二者呈负相关)。由此可见,酸雨对杜仲叶氮代谢产生了显著影响。
