盐胁迫对Bt棉棉蕾杀虫蛋白表达的影响

为探讨土壤盐分对转Bt基因抗虫棉棉蕾抗虫性的影响程度,采用盆栽试验,以2个Bt棉品种‘新棉33B’(盐敏感)和‘中07’(耐盐)为试验材料,设置5个土壤盐分水平(0、0.15%、0.30%、0.45%和0.60%), 研究盐分对蕾期Bt棉棉蕾中杀虫蛋白含量、Bt基因相对表达量及氮代谢相关酶和物质代谢的影响.结果表明: 棉蕾中Bt杀虫蛋白含量随土壤盐分的升高而降低,与对照相比(0%),2个不同类型棉花品种在土壤盐分0.30%及以上时,棉蕾中杀虫蛋白含量显著下降,且随土壤盐分水平的升高,Bt 杀虫蛋白含量下降幅度增大.土壤盐分胁迫提高了棉蕾中Bt基因的相对表达量.在相同土壤盐分水平下,盐敏感品种棉蕾中Bt杀虫蛋白含量受土壤盐分影响较大.杀虫蛋白表达量下降幅度大的品种,其可溶性蛋白含量、谷氨酸丙酮酸转氨酶(GPT)和谷氨酸草酰乙酸转氨酶(GOT)活性下降幅度较大,游离氨基酸含量、蛋白酶和肽酶活性上升幅度也较高.说明土壤盐分胁迫下,Bt棉棉蕾蛋白质合成能力下降,分解能力增强,可能是导致杀虫蛋白表达量下降的主要原因.     

高温胁迫对Bt棉铃壳中Bt蛋白含量及氮代谢的影响

以Bt基因来源于中国的棉花品种泗抗1 号(常规种)、泗抗3 号(杂交种)和来源于美国的棉花品种99B(常规棉)、岱杂1 号(杂交棉)为材料,研究了不同高温水平下Bt 棉盛铃期铃壳中Bt 蛋白含量变化及氮代谢生理特征.结果表明: 铃壳中Bt 蛋白含量随温度升高而降低,与对照相比(32 ℃),常规棉品种在38 ℃、杂交棉品种在40 ℃以上时,铃壳中Bt 蛋白含量大幅度下降.其中,常规种泗抗1号和99B在38 ℃时分别下降53.0%和69.5%;杂交种泗抗3号和岱杂1号在40 ℃时下降64.8%和54.1%.铃壳Bt 杀虫蛋白含量下降显著时,其可溶性蛋白含量明显下降,游离氨基酸含量明显提高,GPT活性显著下降,蛋白酶活性显著增加.高温影响铃壳的氮代谢引起Bt蛋白的分解加剧,合成减弱,从而造成Bt蛋白含量减少,抗虫性下降.     

高温对Bt棉盛蕾期蕾中Bt蛋白表达及氮代谢生理的影响

以来源于中国的Bt棉品种泗抗1号(常规种)、泗抗3号(杂交种)和来源于美国的Bt棉品种99B(常规种)、岱杂1号(杂交种)为材料,研究了不同高温对Bt棉盛蕾期蕾中Bt蛋白表达量变化及氮代谢生理特征的影响.结果表明: 与对照(32 ℃)相比,在38 ℃以上高温时,4个品种棉蕾中Bt蛋白表达量均显著下降,且随温度升高,Bt蛋白含量下降幅度增大.杂交种棉蕾中Bt蛋白表达量要高于常规种,且受高温影响较小.Bt杀虫蛋白表达量下降幅度大的品种,其可溶性蛋白含量、谷氨酸丙酮酸转氨酶(GPT)活性、谷氨酸草酰乙酸转氨酶(GOT)活性下降幅度也大,游离氨基酸含量、蛋白酶活性、肽酶活性增加幅度较大.     

盐碱土壤转Bt基因棉花外源蛋白表达量时空变化及对抗虫性的影响

盐碱地是潜在的可利用耕地资源,但土壤盐碱化严重制约了农业生产的可持续发展。基于棉花机械化程度低、劳动力成本和生产资料投入剧增、比较效益下降和实施粮食生产安全战略等因素影响,我国长江流域和黄河流域棉花面积锐减,种植区域向内陆盐碱旱地或滨海盐碱地转移,但目前针对盐碱地转Bt基因棉种植可能带来的生态安全性问题研究甚少,正成为国内外研究的焦点和热点。伴随着棉花向盐碱地大面积转移种植趋势,检测盐胁迫是否影响转基因抗虫棉抗虫性,明确其影响程度,直接关系到转基因抗虫棉种植的安全性,也是目前抗虫棉扩大生产中迫切需要解决的问题。以非转基因棉花为对照,分别在低盐、中盐和高盐土壤种植的棉花的苗期、蕾期和花铃期采样,室内测定了转Bt基因棉花叶片对棉铃虫幼虫校正死亡率和外源蛋白表达量。研究结果发现盐分胁迫下转Bt基因棉花苗期叶片对棉铃虫幼虫校正死亡率下降了9.22%—47.46%,蕾期下降了31.61%—45.42%,花铃期下降了3.59%—18.52%;土壤盐分显著降低了转Bt基因棉花叶片中外源蛋白的表达量,苗期功能叶外源蛋白表达量下降了7.66%—29.86%;蕾期下降了3.77%—36.85%;花铃期下降了18.13%—41.02%;相关性分析表明,盐分胁迫条件下转Bt基因棉花叶片中外源蛋白表达量与其对棉铃虫抗性程度存在正相关关系。结果表明,盐碱土壤显著降低了转Bt基因棉花叶片外源杀虫蛋白表达量,从而导致转Bt基因棉花叶片对棉铃虫的抗虫性下降。研究土壤盐分对转Bt基因棉花对棉铃虫的影响及其作用机制,可为建立盐碱地转Bt基因棉花田害虫综合防控技术体系、转Bt基因棉花环境安全评价及转Bt基因棉安全管理提供依据。     

基于蛋白质组学的高温干旱下Bt棉杀虫蛋白表达下降机制

研究高温干旱对Bt棉杀虫蛋白含量的影响及其蛋白质表达差异,可为Bt棉抗虫性安全表达提供理论参考.本研究以转基因抗虫棉泗抗3号为材料,设计38 ℃、土壤含水量为最大持水量40%处理(HD)和32 ℃、最大持水量60%处理(CK).使用非标定量(label-free)蛋白质组学技术分析HD处理后Bt棉棉铃中蛋白表达差异.结果表明:与CK相比,HD处理后Bt棉棉铃中杀虫蛋白下降了38.2 ng·g^-1 FM,且差异达到显著水平.HD处理有83种蛋白质比CK显著或极显著上调,104种蛋白质显著或极显著下调;新出现蛋白质122种,不表达167种.京都基因和基因组百科全书通路分析表明,两者的差异蛋白富集通路有14条受到显著影响,其中与Bt棉杀虫蛋白合成有关的通路可能有3条,分别为碳水化合物消化吸收、蛋白外运、内质网的蛋白质加工等.碳水化合物消化吸收途径中,HD处理后泗抗3号水解淀粉能力上升,但催化已糖、葡萄糖、果糖磷酸化能力下降;蛋白质外运通路中,HD处理后肽链合成未受明显影响,但合成的肽链向内质网内转移加工过程受到限制;内质网蛋白质加工通路中,HD处理棉铃中泛素介导的蛋白酶体降解能力加强.     

种植转Bt基因棉土壤中Bt蛋白的分布

采用盆栽试验结合酶联免疫法(ELISA)测定了转Bt基因抗虫棉及常规棉花不同生育期根际及非根际土壤中的Bt蛋白含量.结果表明:红壤、黄棕壤及黄褐土种植转Bt基因棉花后根际土中Bt蛋白含量显著高于非根际土,而种植常规棉花的根际土与非根际土中Bt蛋白含量差异不显著.在初蕾期转Bt基因棉根际土中的Bt蛋白含量为黄褐土＞黄棕壤＞红壤,分别为常规棉根际土的144%、121%和238%;而在盛花期为黄棕壤＞黄褐土＞红壤,分别为常规棉根际土的156%、116%和197%.无论种植转Bt基因棉还是常规棉,供试土壤的根际和非根际土中Bt蛋白含量都随棉花生育期的推进先增加后减少,在盛花期达最大值.整个生育期内,转Bt基因棉根际土中的Bt蛋白含量大于其非根际土;种植转Bt基因棉土壤中Bt蛋白含量高于常规棉,说明转Bt基因棉花的Bt蛋白可释放到根际土中.     

Bt抗虫棉秸秆还田对土壤养分特征的影响

【目的】研究转基因作物秸秆或残茬还田可能对土壤养分特性造成的影响。【方法】以不同抗虫水平Bt棉花和常规棉花(泗棉3号)为研究材料,分别在经过一、二个生长周期后将秸秆机械粉碎后原位还田,40 d后测定分析土壤中Bt蛋白含量及肥力相关的养分含量变化。【结果】Bt棉秸秆还田后,所有品种棉花土壤中Bt蛋白含量与还田前无显著增加,且转Bt基因棉与非转基因棉还田对土壤Bt蛋白含量的影响并无显著差异。同时,棉秸秆还田可显著提高土壤有机质、速效磷、碱解氮、速效钾、全氮、全磷和全钾含量,提升土壤pH值;增加幅度在不同抗虫水平Bt棉花间及与非转基因常规棉花品种间皆无显著性差异。【结论】秸秆还田对土壤肥力的提升与Bt棉的抗虫水平无关。“转Bt基因”不成为Bt棉秸秆还田提高土壤肥力的限制性因素,其秸秆还田不会对土壤肥力质量产生负面影响,可使土壤养分含量增加,有效提升土壤肥力。秸秆原位还田简单、无害又提升肥力,有条件作为转Bt基因植物秸秆无害化处理的理想方式。     

转Bt基因抗虫棉(Gossyposium)伤流中Bt毒蛋白的运输

本文以常规棉品种‘石远321'和抗虫棉品种‘SGK321'与‘99B'为材料,通过考马斯亮蓝和ELISA方法分析了伤流中可溶性蛋白和Bt(苏云金芽孢杆菌)毒蛋白含量.结果发现,转基因抗虫棉伤流中可溶性蛋白含量显著高于常规棉,并在抗虫棉伤流中检测到了Bt毒蛋白,而常规棉伤流中没有Bt毒蛋白的存在.通过嫁接实验研究发现,将常规棉嫁接到转Bt基因抗虫棉砧木上,叶片中也有Bt毒蛋白的积累.这些结果说明,Bt毒蛋白可以通过木质部伤流液向地上部运输,并在叶片中积累,Bt毒蛋白由根系向地上部的运输对棉花的抗虫性是有益的.     

土壤盐分对棉花功能叶气体交换参数和叶绿素荧光参数日变化的影响

2007—2008年在南京农业大学牌楼试验站进行盆栽试验,选择耐盐品种中棉所44和盐敏感品种苏棉12号为材料,试验设置5个土壤盐分水平(0、0.35%、0.60%、0.85%和1.00%),研究土壤盐分对棉花功能叶气体交换参数和叶绿素荧光参数日变化的影响.结果表明:随土壤盐分水平的升高,棉花功能叶中Na+、C l-和Mg2+含量升高,K+和Ca2+含量降低.低于0.35%盐分处理对叶片气体交换参数和叶绿素荧光参数的影响较小,高于0.35%的盐分处理显著降低了棉花功能叶的净光合速率(Pn),提高了棉花功能叶对日间光辐射强度和温度的敏感程度,导致光温抑制现象加重,并改变了Pn和气孔导度(Gs)的日变化趋势,使其由单峰曲线逐渐变为持续下降趋势.随日间光辐射强度和温度的变化,棉花叶片最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)、光系统Ⅱ(PSⅡ)量子产量(ΦPSⅡ)和光化学猝灭系数(qP)的日变化趋势呈V型曲线,最低值出现在12:00—13:00,非光化学猝灭系数(qN)的日变化趋势呈单峰曲线;盐分处理降低了棉花功能叶Fv/Fm、ΦPSⅡ和qP,提高了qN,且增大了其变化幅度.耐盐品种中棉所44功能叶片中较低的Na+、C l-含量及...     

高温和湿度对转Bt基因棉叶片Bt蛋白表达的影响

以来源于美国的转Bt基因棉DP410B(常规种)和岱杂1号(杂交种)以及来源于中国的转Bt基因棉泗抗1号(常规种)和泗抗3号(杂交种)为材料,研究高温(37℃)条件下,大气湿度(50％、70％、90％)变化对Bt蛋白表达的影响.结果表明:高温条件下,盛蕾期,温湿度对4个供试品种Bt蛋白表达均无显著影响;盛花期,与对照(温度25 ～ 30℃,湿度60％ ～70％)相比,常规种在50％湿度时叶片Bt蛋白含量显著降低2.6％ ～3.0％;盛铃期,DP410B、泗抗1号和泗抗3号的Bt蛋白含量在50％湿度处理下比对照显著降低3.3％ ～5.8％.4个转Bt基因棉品种中,DP410B和岱杂1号的Bt蛋白含量最高,而泗抗1号最低.     

Amino acid composition and level affect Bt protein concentration in Bt cotton

Low insect resistance has been widely observed in Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) transgenic cotton. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of amino acid compositions and their concentration on the Bt toxin content in Bt cotton to gain a better physiological understanding of the observed phenomenon. In the 2010 study, the leaf amino acid composition, contents, and Bt protein concentrations were investigated under high temperature (36?°C) and low temperature(18?°C) at both square and boll stage respectively. In 2011, the leaves were sprayed with ethionone sulfoximine (MSO), aminooxyacetic acid (AOA) or combination of MSO and AOA at the two developing stages, and the leaf amino acid composition and Bt protein concentrations were investigated. In 2012, 17 amino acid compositions were used to spray cotton plants at the same two stages, and the Bt protein concentration were measured. In comparison to the control, more amino acids changed and greater concentration changes had been observed under the extreme temperatures at boll stage compared to that at square stage, which were conformity to the changes of the leaf Bt protein concentration. More amino acids reduced and greater reduction was noted with the application of MSO, AOA or combined MSO and AOA at boll period than that at square period, which resulted in the reduction of the leaf Bt toxin concentration. The external uses of Aspartic acid, Glutamic acid, Glycine, Proline, Tyrosine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Histidine and Arginin enhanced the leaf Bt toxin level significantly at boll stage. However, only Aspartic acid, Glutamic acid, Proline, Methionine, Arginin could increase Bt protein concentration markedly at square period and the bolstered extent were low. Therefore, it was concluded that cotton amino acid composition and concentration was more sensitive to external factors at boll stage. In addition, there are close relationship between leaf Bt toxin content and Aspartic acid, Glutamic acid, Glycine, Proline, Tyrosine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Histidine and Arginin and their concentrations.     

转CpTI-Bt基因棉和转Bt基因棉对棉铃虫幼虫存活、生长及营养利用的影响

2000年7月中旬和8月中旬, 分别测定了采自田间的转CpTI-Bt基因双价抗虫棉（SGK321, 以下简称CpTI-Bt棉）和转Bt基因抗虫棉（中30,以下简称Bt棉）对棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera幼虫存活、生长的影响。结果表明：7月中旬两种转基因抗虫棉抗虫效果均较好,尤其是CpTI-Bt棉棉叶和花瓣对4龄幼虫3天内致死率为92%以上;8月中旬两种转基因棉的抗虫活性均明显降低,且Bt棉的杀虫活性显著低于CpTI-Bt棉,其幼虫死亡率与对照受体棉中16的死亡率之间无显著差异,仅显著抑制了幼虫的生长;石远321(SGK321受体品系)的花瓣具有一定的抗虫活性,可显著降低取食幼虫的体重,甚至造成部分幼虫死亡; CpTI-Bt棉中,花瓣和棉叶的抗虫性明显高于蕾和铃心。对5龄幼虫取食棉铃1日后的营养指标测定结果显示： 两种转基因抗虫棉处理的幼虫相对生长率和相对取食量均显著低于石远321,但两者之间无显著差异; CpTI-Bt棉处理的幼虫近似消化率显著低于石远321和Bt棉,但其食物利用率显著高于石远321和Bt棉。     

The effect of high temperature on the insecticidal properties of Bt Cotton

Bt transgenic cotton has not shown the same level of resistance to bollworm in China, as in other major Bt cotton growing areas of the world. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of high temperature on the CryIA insecticidal protein content and nitrogen metabolism, in the leaf of Bt transgenic cotton. The study was undertaken on two transgenic cotton cultivars, one conventional (Xinyang 822) and the other a hybrid (Kumian No. 1), during the 2001 and 2002 growing seasons at the Yangzhou University Farm, Yangzhou, China.In the 2001 study, potted cotton plants were exposed to 37 °C for 24 h under glasshouse conditions at three growth stages – peak square, peak flowering and peak boll developing periods. Based on the 2001 results, in 2002 the same two cultivars were exposed to the same temperature for 48 h at two growth stages—peak flowering and boll developing periods. The results of the study indicated that the insecticidal protein content of the leaf was not significantly affected by the stress during the square and flowering periods. However, exposure to high temperature for 24 h during the boll period reduced the CryIA protein content by approximately 51% in the cultivar Kumian No 1, and 30% in Xinyang 822 in the 2001 study, and by approximately 73 and 63% for 48 h with the same cultivars, respectively, in the 2002 study. Glutamic–pyruvic transaminase (GPT) activity, total free amino acid and soluble protein content, and the activity of protease in the leaf, showed relatively little change in response to high temperature in the flowering period. However, exposure to high temperature in the boll period resulted in the following changes - a reduction of GPT activity, a sharp increase in free amino acid content, a significant decrease in soluble protein content, and significant increases in the activity of protease.The results suggest that high temperature may result in the degradation of soluble protein in the leaf, with a resulting decline in the level of the toxin CryIA. It is believed that this may be the cause of the reduced efficacy of Bt cotton in growing conditions in China, where temperatures during the boll period often reach 36–40 °C.     

Bt毒蛋白在转Bt基因棉中的表达及其在害虫-天敌间的转移

以常规棉泗棉3号作为对照,采用酶联免疫生测法（ELISA）和室内生物测定法,研究了转Bt基因棉新棉33B和GK-12不同组织器官中Cry1Ac或Cry1Ab毒蛋白的表达及其向靶标害虫（棉铃虫）、非靶标害虫（棉蚜）以及天敌（龟纹瓢虫）的传递和影响。研究结果表明,新棉33B各组织器官中Bt毒蛋白的表达量较高,为79.7～1 390.0 ng/g鲜重,GK-012较低为165～2640 ng/g鲜重。在花盛期,新棉33B各组织器官中Bt毒蛋白的表达量依次为：柱头、花 >子房、花瓣>群尖;而5～7叶期的初展嫩叶、现蕾初期的幼蕾及花铃期的幼铃表达量相当,而且与花盛期群尖的表达量没有明显区别。同样处于花盛期的GK-12,其各组织器官中Bt毒蛋白的表达量依次为：花药>柱头>花瓣>群尖>子房;而5～7叶期的初展嫩叶、现蕾初期的幼蕾及花铃期的幼铃表达量相当,而且与花盛期群尖的表达量没有明显差异。常规对照棉的幼铃、花药、柱头以及子房中痕量Bt毒蛋白的存在可能与传粉昆虫等的活动有关。在转Bt基因棉田采集的棉蚜和棉铃虫老龄幼虫,其体内均可检测到Bt毒蛋白;在新棉33B棉田采集的龟纹瓢虫幼虫和成虫体内也可检测出Bt毒素。当以Bt棉田的棉蚜饲喂龟纹瓢虫时,龟纹瓢虫的生长发育、存活以及繁殖等基本没有受到影响。

Oviposition on and mining in bolls of Bt and non-Bt cotton by resistant and susceptible pink bollworm (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)

Transgenic cotton that produces insecticidal crystal protein Cry1Ac of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has been effective in controlling pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders). We compared responses to bolls of Bt cotton and non-Bt cotton by adult females and neonates from susceptible and Cry1Ac-resistant strains of pink bollworm. In choice tests on caged cotton plants in the greenhouse, neither susceptible nor resistant females laid fewer eggs on Bt cotton bolls than on non-Bt cotton bolls, indicating that the Bt toxin did not deter oviposition. Multiple regression revealed that the number of eggs laid per boll was negatively associated with boll age and positively associated with boll diameter. Females also laid more eggs per boll on plants with more bolls. The distribution of eggs among bolls of Bt cotton and non-Bt cotton was clumped, indicating that boll quality rather than avoidance of previously laid eggs was a primary factor in oviposition preference. Parallel to the results from oviposition experiments, in laboratory no-choice tests with 10 neonates per boll, the number of entrance holes per boll did not differ between Bt cotton and non-Bt cotton for susceptible and resistant neonates. Also, like females, neonates preferred younger bolls and larger bolls. Thus, acceptance of bolls by females for oviposition and by neonates for mining was affected by boll age and diameter, but not by Bt toxin in bolls. The lack of discrimination between Bt and non-Bt cotton bolls by pink bollworm from susceptible and resistant strains indicates that oviposition and mining initiation are independent of susceptibility to Cry1Ac.
