氯化镧对水稻幼苗耐冷性的影响(简报)

EFFECTOFLaCl3ONCOLDTOLERANCEOFRICESEEDLINGSLiMeiruLiuHongxianWangYirou(SouthChinaInstituteofBotany,AsademiaSinica,Guangzhou510650)钙既是植物必需的大量元素,对细胞膜的稳定有积极的调节作用,又是胞内的第二信使物质。近年来,在研究植物耐冷性的机理中,钙的作用正引起人们的注意[1]。Minorskyl[2]首次提出Ca可能是传导植物细胞冷害的胞内信使物质。当胞液中的Ca升高之后,由于参予Ca运转机制之一的膜上Ca－ATP酶失活,使细胞积累大量Ca,造成细胞Ca毒害,这可能是植物冷害的原因之一。La为稀土元素…     

淹水玉米幼苗根尖分生细胞内Ca2+超微细胞化学定位

采用焦锑酸钾沉淀法,对遭受淹水胁迫的玉米幼苗初生根根尖分生细胞内钙离子分布变化情况进行了电镜细胞化学观察。在正常状态下,根尖分生细胞内Ca^2＋沉淀颗粒的分布较少．主要位于细胞核和细胞质中。在淹水1h后,根尖分生细胞内呈现有大量Ca^2＋沉淀颗粒分布,细胞核和细胞质中分布的Ca^2＋沉淀颗粒密度,远大于正常细胞。随着淹水时间的延长,根尖分生细胞的细胞核和细胞质中分布的Ca^2＋沉淀颗粒呈现不断增多的趋势,而液泡中分布的Ca^2＋沉淀颗粒则逐步明显减少。根据实验结果本文对受淹根尖分生细胞的死亡与Ca^2＋分布变化的关系进行了研究。     

玉米耐冷性的数值分类研究

1928年,Sellschop和Salman研究了起源于热带的若干农作物的耐冷性反应,将其分为抗冷类型、中间类型和敏感类型。玉米是喜温作物,玉米种植受温度制约。随玉米耐冷性研究不断深入,运用多因子试验综合评估玉米耐冷性,为选育耐冷玉米品种提供依据。我们研究了8个玉米自交系的52个耐冷特征,结果表明,玉米自交系可分为耐冷性强、中等和弱三种类型。

水杨酸提高香蕉幼苗的抗冷性与H2O2代谢有关

探讨了水杨酸(salicylic acid,SA)提高香蕉幼苗抗冷性的可能机理。在常温下(30／22℃)用不同浓度(0—3．5mmol／L)的SA水溶液喷洒叶片1d,置于7℃低温下冷胁迫3d,随后于常温下恢复2d后测定电解质泄漏率,结果表明：SA0．3～0．9mmol／L能显著提高香蕉幼苗的抗冷性,以0．5mmol／L效果最佳。若把冷胁迫温度降到5℃,SA0．5mmol／L预处理可显著减少幼苗叶片的萎蔫面积。但当SA浓度高于1．5mmol／L时,恢复期间的电解质泄漏甚至高于对照(蒸馏水处理),表明它们加剧了冷害。SA提高香蕉幼苗的抗冷性可能需要H2O2的参与：1)SA0．5mmol／L常温处理诱导了H2O2的积累和活性氧造成的膜脂过氧化——三氯乙酸反应物质(TBARS)的增加,这可能与H2O2的清除酶——过氧化氢酶(CAT)和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)活性的受抑和H2O2的产生酶—超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性几乎不受影响有关;2)外源H2O2(1．5—2．5mmoL／L)也能显著降低低温胁迫期间的电解质泄漏,表明也能提高抗冷性;3)而用H2O2的捕捉剂——二甲基硫脲(DMTU)可明显抑制SA诱导的抗冷性;4)在低温胁迫与恢复期间,SA预处理明显提高了CAT和APX的活性,抑制了H2O2与TBARS的快速上升。

Ca^2＋信号介导植物对外界信号的刺激反应,并调节多种生理过程。CBL是一种在植物中发现的Ca^2＋结合蛋白,其靶蛋白为CIPK,现对CBL-CIPK信号转导系统及其如何解密Ca^2＋信号转导特异性进行综述。     

Ca2+和钙调素对H2O2诱导的玉米幼苗耐热性的调控

外源H2O2预处理提高了玉米幼苗内源H2O2的含量和钙调素(CaM)活性,缓解了高温处理过程中CaM活性的下降,增加了玉米幼苗在高温胁迫下的存活率.H2O2诱导的玉米幼苗耐热性的形成可被外源Ca2 处理所加强,被Ca2 螯合剂EGTA、质膜Ca2 通道阻塞剂La3 、胞内Ca2 通道阻断剂RR(钌红),以及CaM抑制剂CPZ(氯丙嗪)和TFP(三氟拉嗪)所抑制,表明Ca2 和CaM参与了H2O2诱导的玉米幼苗耐热性形成的调控.     

Na+和Ca2+对拟南芥根原生质体质膜内向K+通道电流的影响

以拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana Columbia)根为材料,利用膜片钳技术测定其根细胞原生质体质膜内向K^ 电流,并对Na^ 对其K^ 电流的影响进行了初步研究,发现Na^2 可明显抑制拟南芥根细胞原生质体的内向K^ 电流,外施Ca^2 可缓解Na^ 对内向K^ 电流的抑制．说明Ca^2 参与了质膜上K^ 通道对K^ ／Na^ 的选择性吸收的调节,从而使植物适应盐胁迫．     

水杨酸诱导的玉米幼苗适应高温和低温胁迫的能力与抗氧化酶系统的关系

玉米种子经水杨酸(SA)预处理后其幼苗的耐热性与耐冷性提高.其中以300μmol·L-1SA预处理的玉米幼苗对46℃高温胁迫2 d的耐热性提高最大,150μmol·L-1SA预处理的玉米幼苗对1℃低温胁迫5 d的耐冷性提高最大.在高温和低温胁迫过程中,SA预处理过的玉米幼苗中过氧化氢酶(CAT)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)、过氧化物酶(GPX)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)的活性水平均高于未经SA处理的.     

抗氧化系统在热激诱导的玉米幼苗耐热性形成中的作用

玉米幼苗经过42℃热激4h并恢复4h后,显著提高了玉米幼苗在高温处理下的存活率。热激并恢复4h后,不同程度地提高了抗氧化酶系统过氧化氢酶(CAT),超氧化物歧化酶(SOD),谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR),抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)和过氧化物酶(GPX)的活性以及抗氧化剂还原型抗坏血酸(ASA)和谷胱甘肽(GSH)的含量,且经过热激的玉米幼苗在高温处理期间及其后的恢复过程中均能保持相对较高的抗氧化酶活性和抗氧化剂水平,说明保持较高的抗氧化酶活性和抗氧化剂水平是热激诱导的玉米幼苗耐热性形成的生理基础之一。     

Calcium-calmodulin is required for abscisic acid-induced antioxidant defense and functions both upstream and downstream of H2O2 production in leaves of maize (Zea mays) plants

* Using pharmacological and biochemical approaches, the role of calmodulin (CaM) and the relationship between CaM and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) in abscisic acid (ABA)-induced antioxidant defense in leaves of maize (Zea mays) plants were investigated. * Treatment with ABA or H(2)O(2) led to significant increases in the concentration of cytosolic Ca(2+) in the protoplasts of mesophyll cells and in the expression of the calmodulin 1 (CaM1) gene and the content of CaM in leaves of maize plants, and enhanced the expression of the antioxidant genes superoxide dismutase 4 (SOD4), cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase (cAPX), and glutathione reductase 1 (GR1) and the activities of the chloroplastic and cytosolic antioxidant enzymes. The up-regulation of the antioxidant enzymes was almost completely blocked by pretreatments with two CaM antagonists. * Pretreatments with CaM antagonists almost completely inhibited ABA-induced H(2)O(2) production throughout ABA treatment, but pretreatment with an inhibitor or scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS) did not affect the initial increase in the contents of CaM induced by ABA. * Our results suggest that Ca(2+)-CaM is involved in ABA-induced antioxidant defense, and that cross-talk between Ca(2+)-CaM and H(2)O(2) plays a pivotal role in ABA signaling.     

外源H2O2对水稻幼苗抗寒性的调节作用

在常温下用不同浓度的外源H2O2(0～20 mmol·L-1)预处理水稻幼苗,再进行12 h 6℃低温胁迫,根据幼苗相对含水量和质膜相对透性筛选最佳外源H2O2处理浓度,并分析最佳外源H2O2浓度下幼苗的渗透调节物质和活性氧相关指标的变化.结果表明:(1)0～8 mmol·L-1 H2O2预处理可以增加水稻幼苗的相对含水量,降低其质膜相对透性,并以4 mmol·L-1 H2O2的效果最佳.(2)低温胁迫后,与对照组相比,4 mmol·L-1外源H2O2预处理降低了水稻幼苗萎蔫程度,并使其总呼吸速率、交替途径容量都有增加,同时还抑制了丙二醛的含量,增加了可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白质和脯氨酸的含量.(3)外源H2O2预处理对水稻幼苗的内源H2O2含量以及O(-)/(·)2产生速率没有显著影响.研究发现,外源H2O2可以通过提高呼吸速率、降低脂质过氧化程度、增加碳氮代谢来有效增强水稻幼苗的抗寒性,它可能以一种独立于内源活性氧系统之外的方式发挥作用.     

Phytohormones in Seedlings of Maize Hybrids Differing in Their Tolerance to High Temperatures

The contents of phytohormones (IAA, ABA, cytokinins, and gibberellin-like compounds) were measured in shoots and roots of eight-day-old seedlings of two maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids differing in their tolerance to elevated temperatures. More tolerant seedlings initially contained more ABA and cytokinins, and the contents of these hormones changed less after a temperature increase than in seedlings of the sensitive hybrid. Hyperthermia induced a destruction of chloroplast lamellar structure in the leaf sheath cells of the sensitive but not of the tolerant hybrid.     

Chilling injury and recovery in detached and attached leaves measured by chlorophyll fluorescence

Smillie, R. M., Nott, R., Hetherington, S. E. and Öyustt, G. 1987. Chilling injury and recovery in detached and attached leaves measured by chlorophyll fluorescence Chilling injury was compared in detached and attached leaves chilled at 0 or 0.5°C by measuring the decrease in induced chlorophyll fluorescence in vivo. The fluorescence parameter measured was F_R, the maximal rate of rise of induced chlorophyll fluorescence emission after irradiating dark-adapted leaves. The plants used were bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Pioneer, and maize, Zea mays L. cvs hybrid GH 390 and Northern Belle. Leaves were detached and placed on wet paper and covered with thin polyethylene film to prevent water loss during chilling. Leaves left attached on plants were treated similarly. When chilled in this way at 100% relative humidity, the chilling-induced decrease in F_R was the same in detached and attached leaves. For the attached leaves, the same result was obtained whether just a single leaf was chilled or the whole plant. Expression of chilling injury was greatest in fully turgid leaves and comparisons can be invalid unless the water status of the detached and attached leaves are the same. Problems arising from diurnal fluctuations in water potential of plants grown in a glasshouse were circumvented by placing leaves on the wet filter paper under polyethylene film prior to chilling, which allowed high water potentials to be regained, or mist sprays in the glasshouse were employed. Determinations of the time course for changes in F_R of maize (cv. Northern Belle) during chilling at 0°C showed that F_R decreased exponentially, at the same rate (time to 50% decrease in F_R was 9.3 h) in detached and attached leaves. Chilling injury was largely reversible for the first 20 h of chilling stress as both detached and attached leaves recovered their pre-chilling values of F_R after a further 20 h at 20°C in darkness. Leaves chilled for 48 h showed partial recovery, while those chilled for 72 h did not recover. Recovery was impeded by light. Inability to recover from chilling as indicated by measurements of F_R was paralleled by the incidence of visible symptoms of injury. It is concluded that detached and attached leaves behave similarly during chilling and short-term recovery, provided a similarity in treatments is rigorously maintained.     

Spatial variation in H2O2 response of Arabidopsis thaliana root epidermal Ca2+ flux and plasma membrane Ca2+ channels

Hydrogen peroxide is an important regulatory agent in plants. This study demonstrates that exogenous H2O2 application to Arabidopsis thaliana root epidermis results in dose-dependent transient increases in net Ca2+ influx. The magnitude and duration of the transients were greater in the elongation zone than in the mature epidermis. In both regions, treatment with the cation channel blocker Gd3+ prevented H2O2-induced net Ca2+ influx, consistent with application of exogenous H2O2 resulting in the activation of plasma membrane Gd3+-sensitive Ca2+-influx pathways. Application of 10 mm H2O2 to the external plasma membrane face of elongation zone epidermal protoplasts resulted in the appearance of a hyperpolarization-activated Ca2+-permeable conductance. This conductance differed from that previously characterized as being responsive to extracellular hydroxyl radicals. In contrast, in mature epidermal protoplasts a plasma membrane hyperpolarization-activated Ca2+-permeable channel was activated only when H2O2 was present at the intracellular membrane face. Channel open probability increased with intracellular [H2O2] and at hyperpolarized voltages. Unitary conductance decreased thus: Ba2+ > Ca2+ (14.5 pS) > Mg2+ > Zn2+ (20 mM external cation, 1 mM H2O2). Lanthanides and Zn2+ (but not TEA+) suppressed the open probability without affecting current amplitude. The results suggest spatial heterogeneity and differential sensitivity of Ca2+ channel activation by reactive oxygen species in the root that could underpin signalling.
