干旱胁迫下外源钙对石灰岩地区复羽叶栾树种子萌发的影响

以石灰岩生态恢复优选树种复羽叶栾树种子为试材,采用聚乙二醇(PEG6000)设置0%(CK)、5%、15%、25%、30%模拟石灰岩山区不同干旱环境,以CaCl₂设置0(CK)、15、20、25、30 mmol·L^-1为外源钙离子梯度,模拟石灰岩地区的土壤高钙环境,研究不同浓度CaCl₂、PEG及二者交互作用对种子萌发特征的影响.结果表明: 单纯CaCl₂作用下,中低浓度的外源钙对复羽叶栾树种子萌发参数无显著影响,而高浓度的外源钙对种子萌发具有抑制作用,中低浓度CaCl₂可以增加萌发后幼苗的鲜质量.PEG浓度从0%增至25%,各处理组的种子发芽率、发芽势、发芽指数及活力指数均与对照呈显著递减趋势,幼苗鲜质量明显减小.对各干旱处理组施加一定浓度的外源钙后,中低浓度的CaCl₂可提高种子的萌发特性,而当CaCl₂浓度达到30 mmol·L^-1时,种子难以萌发.PEG浓度达到30%时,种子无萌发.施加一定的外源钙可以提高PEG胁迫下幼苗的鲜质量,使幼苗更加适应干旱缺水的环境.     

ABA对低温胁迫下小桐子幼苗耐冷性及甜菜碱积累的影响

旨在探讨外源脱落酸(ABA)对低温胁迫下小桐子幼苗耐冷性及甜菜碱积累的影响。用150μmol/L ABA处理低温胁迫下的小桐子幼苗,研究其对小桐子幼苗存活率,根系活力,电解质渗漏率,MDA含量,甜菜碱含量及其代谢关键酶BADH活性和Jc BADH基因表达水平的影响。结果表明,外源150μmol/L ABA处理可显著提高低温胁迫下小桐子幼苗的存活率和根系活力,降低电解质渗漏率和MDA含量;ABA也提高了低温胁迫下小桐子幼苗的甜菜碱含量,上调了BADH的活性和Jc BADH的表达水平。因此,ABA可提高低温胁迫下小桐子幼苗的耐冷性,并且在ABA诱发的小桐子幼苗耐冷性的提高过程中,甜菜碱发挥着重要作用。     

葡萄糖对干旱胁迫下小麦种子萌发及幼苗生长的调节作用

干旱胁迫会抑制小麦种子的萌发及生长,20%聚乙二醇(PEG-6000)模拟干旱胁迫的同时施以不同浓度的外源葡萄糖处理小麦种子,探讨外源葡萄糖对干旱胁迫下小麦种子萌发及幼苗生长的影响。14 h光照/10 h黑暗的光周期培养条件下,较低浓度的葡萄糖(0.02 mmol/L和0.05 mmol/L)促进了干旱胁迫下小麦种子的萌发及幼苗生长,但较高浓度的葡萄糖(0.1 mmol/L,0.2 mmol/L及0.5 mmol/L)加强了干旱胁迫对小麦种子萌发及幼苗生长的抑制效应;而在黑暗条件下培养,葡萄糖的上述调节作用消失。以上结果说明葡萄糖对干旱胁迫下小麦种子萌发及幼苗生长的调节作用具有浓度效应,并且依赖于光。

干旱胁迫对鹿角杜鹃种子萌发和幼苗生理特性的影响

为探明鹿角杜鹃种子萌发和幼苗生长期的耐旱性,以鹿角杜鹃干种子和90d苗龄幼苗为材料,采用聚乙二醇(PEG-6000)模拟不同程度的干旱胁迫,研究干旱胁迫对其种子萌发、早期幼苗生长及幼苗的细胞膜透性、MDA含量、有机渗透调节物质和抗氧化酶活性的影响,并对种子萌发率、早期幼苗生长量与PEG胁迫浓度间进行了回归分析。结果表明:(1)5%~25%PEG胁迫范围内,随着干旱胁迫程度的增加,鹿角杜鹃种子的发芽启动时间推迟,发芽持续时间延长,发芽率、发芽势、发芽指数、活力指数和幼苗生长量显著降低;重度干旱胁迫(25%PEG)下,鹿角杜鹃种子完全未萌发。(2)发芽率、发芽势、发芽指数、活力指数以及幼苗生长量的变化均与干旱胁迫程度呈极显著负相关关系,回归分析求得鹿角杜鹃种子萌发的半致死PEG干旱胁迫浓度为15.68%、半致矮PEG干旱胁迫浓度为15.37%。(3)随着PEG胁迫浓度的增加,鹿角杜鹃幼苗叶片SOD活性呈先升后降的趋势,但各胁迫处理仍显著高于CK(0%PEG);细胞膜透性、MDA、脯氨酸、可溶性糖含量、POD和CAT活性则在中度(15%~20%PEG)和重度胁迫下显著升高,与干旱胁迫程度呈极显著正相关关系。研究表明,干旱胁迫显著抑制了鹿角杜鹃种子萌发和早期幼苗生长,使其细胞膜受到损伤,同时鹿角杜鹃可通过体内渗透调节物质和抗氧化酶活性的增加来适应干旱环境,使得自身受抑制、损伤程度降到最低。

Melatonin Promotes Rice Seed Germination under Drought Stress by Regulating Antioxidant Capacity

Drought stress is a serious threat to the germination of plant seeds and the growth of seedlings. Melatonin has been proven to play an important role in alleviating plant stress. However, its effect on seed germination under drought conditions is still poorly understood. Therefore, we studied the effects of melatonin on rice seed germination and physiological characteristics under drought stress. Rice seeds were treated with different concentrations of melatonin (i.e., 0, 20, 100, and 500 μM) and drought stress was simulated with 5% polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG6000). The results showed that 100 μM melatonin can effectively improve the germination potential, rate and index; the vigor index of rice seeds; and the length of the shoot and root. In addition, that treatment also increased the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT), and reduced the content of malondialdehyde (MDA). The grey relational grade between the shoot MDA content and the melatonin seed-soaking treatment was the highest, which could be useful for evaluating the effect of melatonin on drought tolerance. Two-way analysis of variance showed that the effect of single melatonin treatment on rice seeds was more significant than that of single drought stress and interaction treatment of drought and melatonin (p < 0.05). The subordinate function results showed that 100 μM melatonin significantly improved the germination and physiological indexes of rice seeds and effectively alleviated the adverse effects of drought stress on rice seedlings. The results helped to improve the understanding of the morphological and physiological involvement of melatonin in promoting seed germination and seedling development under drought stress.

Preliminary Study on Development,Germination and Desiccation Tolerance of Jatropha curcas (Euphorbiaceae)

The developmental changes in morphology and germinability of Jatropha curcas seeds, effects of temperature and light on seed germination , and changes in desiccation tolerance of mature seeds were studied in this paper. The results indicated that J. curcas seeds reached a physiological maturation at 58 days after anthesis, and that seed germination percentage reached a peak at physiological maturation, and then decreased. The optimal germination temperature was 25 to 30℃. J. curcas seeds were insensitive to dehydration at physiological maturation . There was not a notable effect of light on seed germination. Therefore, J. curcas seed was a non-photoblastic and orthodox seeds .     

Aquaporin JcPIP2 is involved in drought responses in Jatropha curcas

Water channel proteins, aquaporins, play fundamental roles in transmembrane water movements in plants. A new full-length cDNA encoding aquaporin was isolated from the seedlings of Jatropha curcas. The gene of the plasma membrane intrinsic protein （PIP） from J. curcas （JcPIP2） contained an 843 bp open reading frame encoding a protein of 280 amino acids. The amino acid sequence showed 94% identity with Ricinus communis PIP. Injection of JcPIP2 complementary RNA into Xenopus oocytes increased 10-fold the osmotic water permeability of the oocytes. Immunodetection of JcPIP2 with anti-JcPIP2 antibody indicated that this protein is ubiquitously located in all tested tissues of the plant. To investigate the relationship between aquaporins and drought resistance in J. curcas, the abundance of JcPIP2 was examined in seedlings of two J. curcas populations, GaoYou CSC63 and YanBian S 1, under water deficit with PEG6000. Under field conditions, those two populations, GaoYou CSC63 was resistant to water deficit, but YanBian S 1 was sensitive to water deprivation. With the increasing degree of drought stress, JcPIP2 level increased in seedlings of GaoYou CSC63, whereas there was no significant change in seedlings of YanBian S 1. Compared with YanBian S 1, GaoYou CSC63 also showed higher root hydraulic conductivity and lower decreasing trend in the seed- lings under water deficit. These results indicated that JcPIP2 probably played a role in drought resistance in J. curcas.

Comparative evaluation of hydro-, chemo- , and hormonal-priming methods for imparting salt and PEG stress tolerance in Indian mustard (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Brassica</Emphasis><Emphasis Type="Italic">juncea</Emphasis> L.)

The present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of different seed priming methods to enhance the sodium chloride (NaCl) and polyethylene glycol-8000 (PEG-8000) stress tolerance in Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.). Seeds subjected to different priming treatments such as water (hydro-priming), calcium chloride (CaCl₂) (chemo-priming), and abscisic acid (ABA) (hormonal-priming) showed increased rate of germination as compared to non-primed seeds. The primed and non-primed seeds were grown for 15 days and then the seedlings were independently subjected to iso-osmotic salt (150 mM NaCl) or PEG-8000 (20%) stress. The different biochemical responses were studied 10 days after treatment. Under NaCl and PEG stress, the dry weight and total chlorophyll content were higher in primed sets as compared to non-primed treatment which was also evident by the phenotype of the seedlings. In general, the higher activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione reductase resulted in lower oxidative damage, in terms of malondialdehyde content, under NaCl and PEG stress in hydro-primed set as compared to non-primed, ABA-, and CaCl₂-primed treatments. Besides, the level of total phenolics and accumulation of osmolytes such as free proline, glycine betaine, and total soluble sugars was also lower in hydro-primed set as compared to other primed and non-primed treatments. The study thus suggests the use of hydro-priming as a simple and cost-effective strategy to alleviate the NaCl and PEG induced stress in B. juncea.
