Intracytoplasmic sperm injection with mouse spermatozoa preserved without freezing for six months can lead to full-term development

Preservation of mammalian spermatozoa now plays an important role in fertility treatment, in generating hybrid animals, and in protecting endangered or extinct species. To date, the most common method of sperm preservation is freezing in liquid nitrogen (LN(2)). However, this method requires constant supplementation of the LN(2) and also involves some safety issues in transporting LN(2). Here we describe a new sperm preservation method that does not involve freezing. Mouse spermatozoa were cultured in four basic media (HEPES-CZB, potassium simplex optimization medium with amino acids [KSOMaa], K(+)-rich nuclear isolation medium [NIM], and PBS) with or without 10% bovine serum albumin (BSA) or 15% Ficoll as a protectant, and preserved in a refrigerator for up to 6 mo. These preserved sperm were then injected into fresh oocytes and cultured to the blastocyst stage in vitro or transferred into recipient females to demonstrate their genetic integrity. The results of sperm preservation for 1 mo suggested that NIM and PBS were better media than HEPES-CZB or KSOMaa and that BSA and Ficoll could improve either blastocyst or full-term development. Surprisingly, 18 pups were obtained using spermatozoa stored in these media for 6 mo. Moreover, this new method allowed easy production of healthy offspring even after transport of spermatozoa between two countries by aircraft at room temperature. In conclusion, this method allows for easy long-term preservation of mouse spermatozoa in a simple, modified medium at refrigerator temperature with very low cost and wide application.     

Microprobe analysis of calcifying matrices and formative cells in developing mouse molars

Summary The distribution of Calcium and Phosphorus and of Na, K, S and Cl was studied in the mineralizing matrices and strata of ameloblasts and odontoblasts in developing mouse molars (5–14 days). Sections cut in a cryostat were prepared by freeze-drying and examined in an SEM by the method of energy dispersive x-ray analysis. In enamel a gradient of mineralization was observed with respect to age and topography. Progressive loss of sulfur was also demonstrated. Less striking mineralization gradients were found in dentin. Predentin accumulated Ca at a concentration about 2% that of dentin and the Ca/P ratio was lower than that for apatite. Significant concentrations of calcium were localized in ameloblast and odontoblast strata. The concentration increased five-fold in ameloblasts as the cells matured and enamel mineralization entered the final phases, levels in odontoblasts remained stable. With age in both cellular strata, potassium counts decreased. In maturing ameloblasts the concentrations of sodium and chloride rose.This work was supported in part by a grant from the Graduate College, University of Illinois at the Medical Center     

Overexpression of the Na(+)/K(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter gene induces cell proliferation and phenotypic transformation in mouse fibroblasts

Na(+)/K(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter activity is stimulated in early G(1) phase of the cell cycle and this stimulation was shown to be an essential event in fibroblast cell proliferation. In order to elucidate further the role of the Na(+)/K(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter in cell proliferation, we overexpressed the gene encoding the Na(+)/K(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter in mouse fibroblasts, and analyzed cellular phenotypic changes. Mouse Balb/c 3T3 cells were stably transfected with the cDNA of the shark rectal gland Na(+)/K(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter gene (NKCC1), and expressed in a mammalian vector under the cytomegalovirus promoter (Balb/c-NKCC1 cells). The transfected cells exhibited up to 10-fold greater bumetanide-sensitive Rb(+) influx compared to the control cells. The Balb/c-NKCC1 cells have acquired a typical transformation phenotype indicated by: (1) Loss of contact inhibition exhibited by growth to a higher cell density in confluent cultures, and formation of cell foci; (2) proliferation in low serum concentrations; and (3) formation of cell colonies in soft agar. The control cells transfected with the NKCC1 gene inserted in the opposite orientation in the vector retained their normal phenotype. Furthermore, the two specific inhibitors of the Na(+)/K(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter activity; bumetanide and furosemide inhibited the clonogenic efficiency in the NKCC1 transfected cells. These control experiments indicate that the apparent transformation phenotype acquired by the Balb/c-NKCC1 cells was not merely associated with the process of transfection and selecting for the neomycin-resistant clones, but rather with the overexpression of the Na(+)/K(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter gene. In order to ascertain that the regulated and normal expression of the Na(+)/K(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter control cell proliferation, the effect of bumetanide a specific inhibitor of the cotransporter, was tested on Balb/c 3T3 cell proliferation, induced by fibroblasts growth factor (FGF) and fetal calf serum (FCS). Bumetanide inhibited synchronized Balb/c 3T3 cell exit from the G(0)/G(1) arrest and entering S-phase. The inhibition was reversible, as removal of bumetanide completely released cell proliferation. Taken together, these results propose that the NKCC1 gene is involved in the control of normal cell proliferation, while its overexpression results in apparent cell transformation, in a manner similar to some protooncogenes.     

Na(+)/K(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter activates mitogen-activated protein kinase in fibroblasts and lymphocytes.

In a previous work, we have shown that overexpression of the Na(+)/K(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter (NKCC1) induces cell proliferation and transformation. We investigate in the present study the role of the NKCC1 in the mitogenic signal transduction. We show that overexpression of the cotransporter gene (NKCC1) in stablely transfected cells (Balb/c-NKCC1), resulted in enhanced phosphorylation of the extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) to produce double phosphorylated ERK (DP-ERK). Furthermore, the level of DP-ERK was reduced by 50-80% following the addition of bumetanide, a specific inhibitor of the Na(+)/K(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter, in quiescent as well as in proliferating cultures of the Balb/c-NKCC1 clone. In order to explore further the role of the Na(+)/K(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter in mitogenic signal transduction, we measured the effect of the two specific inhibitors of the cotransporter; bumetanide and furosemide, on DP-ERK level in immortalized non-transformed cells. In Balb/c 3T3 fibroblasts stimulated with FGF, bumetanide, and furosemide inhibited 50-60% of the ERK 1/2 phosphorylation. The inhibitor concentration needed for maximal inhibition of ERK 1/2 phosphorylation was similar to the concentration needed to block the K(+) influx mediated by the Na(+)/K(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter in these cells. To analyze whether the Na(+)/K(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter has a role in the mitogenic signal of normal cells, we measured the effect of bumetanide on ERK phosphorylation in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. The phosphorylation of ERK 1/2 in resting human lymphocytes, as well as in lymphocytes stimulated with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) was inhibited by bumetanide. The effect of bumetanide on ERK 2 phosphorylation was much lower than that of ERK 1 phosphorylation. The finding that the Na(+)/K(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter controls the ERK/MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) signal transduction pathway, support our hypothesis that Na(+) and K(+) influxes mediated by this transporter plays a central role in the control of normal cell proliferation. Exploring the cellular ionic currents and levels, mediated by the Na(+)/K(+)/Cl(-) cotransporter, should lead to a better comprehension of cell proliferation and transformation machinery.     

Na- and Cl-dependent glycine transport in human red blood cells and ghosts. A study of the binding of substrates to the outward-facing carrier

Na- and Cl-dependent glycine transport was investigated in human red blood cells. The effects of the carrier substrates (Na, Cl, and glycine) on the glycine transport kinetics were studied with the goal of learning more about the mechanism of transport. The K1/2-gly was 100 microM and the Vmax-gly was 109 mumol/kg Hb.h. When cis Na was lowered (50 mM) the K1/2-gly increased and the Vmax-gly decreased, which was consistent with a preferred order of rapid equilibrium loading of glycine before Na. Na-dependent glycine influx as a function of Na concentration was sigmoidal, and direct measurement of glycine and Na uptake indicated a stoichiometry of 2 Na:1 glycine transported. The sigmoidal response of glycine influx to Na concentration was best fit by a model with ordered binding of Na, the first Na with a high K1/2 (greater than 250 mM), and the second Na with a low K1/2 (less than 10.3 mM). In the presence of low Cl (cis and trans 5 mM), the K1/2-gly increased and the Vmax-gly increased. The Cl dependence displayed Michaelis-Menten kinetics with a K1/2-Cl of 9.5 mM. At low Cl (5 mM Cl balanced with NO3), the glycine influx as a function of Na showed the same stoichiometry and Vmax-Na but a decreased affinity of the carrier for Na. These data suggested that Cl binds to the carrier before Na. Experiments comparing influx and efflux rates of transport using red blood cell ghosts indicated a functional asymmetry of the transporter. Under the same gradient conditions, Na- and Cl-dependent glycine transport functioned in both directions across the membrane but rates of efflux were 50% greater than rates of influx. In addition, the presence of trans substrates modified influx and efflux differently. Trans glycine largely inhibited glycine efflux in the absence or presence of trans Na; trans Na largely inhibited glycine influx and this inhibition was partially reversed when trans glycine was also present. A model for the binding of these substrates to the outward-facing carrier is presented.     

Preservation methods for the storage of anaerobic sludges

Different preservation methods were evaluated for the storage of anaerobic sludges: room temperature, refrigeration at 4 °C, freezing at –20 °C and freeze-drying. Specific methanogenic activity for glucose and acetate were used as indicators of the subsequent recovery of the anaerobic sludge. Storage at room temperature and refrigeration resulted in a better conservation of the methanogenic activity than freezing and freeze-drying.     

Rates of efflux and intracellular concentrations of potassium, sodium and chloride ions in isolated fat-cells from the rat

1. The metabolism of K(+), Na(+) and Cl(-) has been investigated in isolated fat-cells prepared from the epididymal adipose tissue of rats. 2. Methods are described for measuring the intracellular water space, the rates of loss of intracellular (42)K(+), (22)Na(+) and (36)Cl(-) and the intracellular concentrations of K(+), Na(+) and Cl(-) in isolated fat-cells. 3. The intracellular water space, measured as the [(3)H]water space minus the [carboxylic acid-(14)C]inulin space, was 3.93+/-0.38mul./100mg. cell dry wt. 4. The first-order rate constants for radioisotope effluxes from isolated fat-cells were 0.029min.(-1) for (42)K(+), 0.245min.(-1) for (22)Na(+) and 0.158min.(-1) for (36)Cl(-). 5. The intracellular concentrations of K(+), Na(+) and Cl(-) were 146m-equiv./l., 18.6+/-2.9m-equiv./l. and 43+/-2.4m-equiv./l. respectively. 6. The total intracellular K(+) content of isolated fat-cells was determined by atomic-absorption spectrophotometry to confirm the value obtained from the radioisotope-efflux data. 7. The ion effluxes from isolated fat-cells were: K(+), 1.5pmoles/cm.(2)/sec., Na(+), 1.6pmoles/cm.(2)/sec., and Cl(-), 2.4pmoles/cm.(2)/sec. 8. The membrane potential of isolated fat-cells calculated from the Cl(-) distribution ratio was -28.7mv.     

Quantitative histochemical determination of Na+ and K+ in microscopic samples using carbon furnace atomic absorption spectrometry

Carbon furnace atomic absorption spectrometry was used to measure the Na and K content of freeze-dried microscopic tissue samples. This method was sufficiently sensitive to measure pmol amounts of Na and K from tissue weighing 10-60 ng. Within the spatial resolution of the microdissection procedure, ion diffusion that might occur during cryosectioning, freeze-drying, and dissection of the tissue did not seem to be a problem. Data obtained with this methodology were in agreement with previously reported values of the Na and K content of various tissues, thus supporting the usefulness of this quantitative histochemical technique.     

Effect of freezing rates and excipients on the infectivity of a live viral vaccine during lyophilization

Lyophilization is the most popular method for achieving improved stability of labile biopharmaceuticals, but a significant fraction of product activity can be lost during processing due to stresses that occur in both the freezing and the drying stages. The effect of the freezing rate on the recovery of herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) infectivity in the presence of varying concentrations of cryoprotectant excipients is reported here. The freezing conditions investigated were shelf cooling (223 K), quenching into slush nitrogen (SN2), and plunging into melting propane cooled in liquid nitrogen (LN2). The corresponding freezing rates were measured, and the ice crystal sizes formed within the samples were determined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The viral activity assay demonstrated the highest viral titer recovery for nitrogen cooling in the presence of low (0.25% w/v sucrose) excipient concentration. The loss of viral titer in the sample cooled by melting propane was consistently the highest among those results from the alternative cooling methods. However, this loss could be minimized by lyophilization at lower temperature and higher vacuum conditions. We suggest that this is due to a higher ratio of ice recrystallization for the sample cooled by melting propane during warming to the temperature at which freeze-drying was carried out, as smaller ice crystals readily enlarge during warming. Under the same freezing condition, a higher viral titer recovery was obtained with a formulation containing a higher concentration of sugar excipients. The reason was thought to be twofold. First, sugars stabilize membranes and proteins by hydrogen bonding to the polar residues of the biomolecules, working as a water substitute. Second, the concentrated sugar solution lowers the nucleation temperature of the water inside the virus membrane and prevents large ice crystal formation within both the virus and the external medium.     

Sodium-dependent chloride transport in basolateral membrane vesicles isolated from rabbit proximal tubule

The mechanisms for Cl transport across basolateral membrane vesicles (BLMV) isolated from rabbit renal cortex were examined by using the Cl-sensitive fluorescent indicator 6-methoxy-N-(3-sulfopropyl)quinolinium (SPQ). The transporters studied included Cl/base exchange, Cl/base/Na cotransport, K/Cl cotransport, and Cl conductance. Initial rates of chloride influx (JCl) were determined from the measured time course of SPQ fluorescence in BLMV following inwardly directed gradients of Cl and gradients of other ions and/or pH. For a 50 mM inwardly directed Cl gradient in BLMV which were voltage and pH clamped (7.0) using K/valinomycin and nigericin, JCl was 0.80 +/- 0.14 nmol S-1 (mg of vesicle protein)-1 (mean +/- SD, n = 8 separate preparations). In the absence of Na and CO2/HCO3 in voltage-clamped BLMV, JCl increased 56% +/- 5% in response to a 1.9 pH unit inwardly directed H gradient; the increase was further enhanced by 40% +/- 3% in the presence of CO2/HCO3 and inhibited 30% +/- 8% by 100 microM dihydro-4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid. Na gradients did not increase JCl in the absence of CO2/HCO3; however, an outwardly directed Na gradient in the presence of CO2/HCO3 increased JCl by 31% +/- 8% with a Na KD of 7 +/- 2 mM. These results indicate the presence of Cl/OH and Cl/HCO3 exchange, and Cl/HCO3 exchange trans-stimulated by Na. There was no significant effect of K gradients in the presence or absence of valinomycin, suggesting lack of significant K/Cl cotransport and Cl conductance under experimental conditions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

A model of Na-K-2Cl cotransport based on ordered ion binding and glide symmetry

In the duck red blood cell, Na-K-2Cl cotransportexhibits two modes of ion movement: net cotransport and obligate cationexchange. In high-K cells, the predominant exchange is K/K (or K/Rb).In high-Na cells, it becomes Na/Na (or Na/Li). Both represent partial reactions in which a fully loaded carrier releases part of its cargo,rebinds fresh ions, and returns back across the membrane fully loaded.Net cotransport occurs when the carrier unloads completely and returnsempty. This mode has a fixed stoichiometry of 1Na:1K:2Cl under allconditions tested. The ion requirements of the two exchanges differ:K/K exchange requires only K and Cl outside but all three ions inside.Na/Na exchange requires all three ions outside but only Na inside. Wepropose a simple model in which the carrier can only move when eitherfully loaded or completely empty and in which the ions bind in astrictly ordered sequence. For example, externally, a Na binds firstand then a Cl, followed by a K and a second Cl. Internally, the firston is the first off (glide symmetry), so the Na is released first andthen the first Cl, followed by the K and finally by the second Cl. Onlythen can the empty form return to the outside to start a new cycle.

     

Rapid freezing without cooling equilibration in canine sperm

The aim of this study was to develop a rapid method of canine semen freezing without cooling equilibration using treatment with different cryoprotectant agents (CPAs) and freezing in liquid nitrogen (LN(2)) vapor in a 0.5-mL straw via modifying vitrification. Ejaculates from eight beagle dogs were frozen with different CPAs (CPA-free, 5% glycerol, 5% ethylene glycol, and 10% ethylene glycol) and freezing times (direct plunging into LN(2) or freezing for 1, 2, 3, or 10 min in LN(2) vapor before plunging into LN(2)). Frozen-thawed sperm were evaluated for motility, viability, normal morphology, and plasma- and acrosome-membrane integrities. The 5% glycerol treatment resulted in improved sperm motility, plasma-membrane integrity and acrosome-membrane integrity (P<0.05). Freezing in LN(2) vapor showed improved sperm motility, viability, and plasma membrane integrity (P<0.05), and freezing for more than 2 min in LN(2) vapor increased acrosome-membrane integrity compared with direct plunging into LN(2) (P<0.05). The direct plunging into LN(2) showed no motile sperm. However, freezing for more than 2 min in LN(2) vapor increased the total abnormalities compared to direct plunging into LN(2) (P<0.05). In conclusion, use of 5% glycerol and freezing in LN(2) vapor were essential for the rapid freezing of canine sperm without cooling equilibration. In particular, holding for 2 min in LN(2) vapor was sufficient to yield successful rapid freezing. This rapid freezing method is simple and effective in canine sperm and would be helpful to offer information for trial of vitrification in large volumes of canine sperm.     

A new freeze-drying method for the preservation of nitrogen-fixing and other fragile bacteria

A simple effective and compact freeze-drying method involving skim milk 20% (w/v) and glutamate 5% or meso-inositol 5% or honey 10% or raffinose 5% for the long-term preservation of bacteria is described. As a case example more than 160 strains representing 36 species of nitrogen-fixing bacteria, 11 species of chemolithorutotrophic bacteria and five species of Aquaspirillum were successfully preserved. All tested strains proved viable and showed about 10–100% survival after freeze-drying and during 2–3 years of storage at +9°C. In such lyophilized cultures no loss in plasmids or other desirable characters was observed. The method is also suitable for the preservation of other fragile and difficult microorganisms as several other strains including bacteria with introduced plasmids could equally survive well and retained plasmids after lyophilization with this method.     

X-ray microanalysis of myotomal muscle in the sunbleak, Leucaspius delineatus (Heckel) and goldfish, Carassius auratus gibelio

The functioning of a group of muscle fibres as a tissue that performs a well characterized type of contraction (slow or fast) depends on their biochemical and structural organization that is already well established. The biochemical and structural diversities between three types of fish muscle fibres found also a reflection in the content of light elements. The present work demonstrates significant differences in the content of diffusible elements (Cl, K, Na, and Mg) and bound elements (P and S) between the muscle fibres types. In general all muscle fibre types of goldfish (Carassius auratus gibelio) that belongs to stationary slow-swimming fish has lower K/Na ratios than those in all three fibre types of fast swimming sunbleak (Leucaspius delineatus).     

Effect of protective agents and previous acclimation on ethanol resistance of frozen and freeze-dried Lactobacillus plantarum strains

The aim of this work was to study the protective effect of sucrose, trehalose and glutamate during freezing and freeze-drying of three oenological Lactobacillus plantarum strains previously acclimated in the presence of ethanol. The efficiency of protective agents was assessed by analyses of membrane integrity and bacterial cultivability in a synthetic wine after the preservation processes. No significant differences in the cultivability, with respect to the controls cells, were observed after freezing at −80 °C and −20 °C, and pre-acclimated cells were more resistant to freeze-drying than non-acclimated ones. The results of multiparametric flow cytometry showed a significant level of membrane damage after freeze-drying in two of the three strains. The cultivability was determined after incubation in wine-like medium containing 13 or 14% v/v ethanol at 21 °C for 24 h and the results were interpreted using principal component analysis (PCA). Acclimation was the most important factor for preservation, increasing the bacterial resistance to ethanol after freezing and freeze-drying. Freeze-drying was the most drastic method of preservation, followed by freezing at −20 °C. The increase of ethanol concentration from 6 to 10% v/v in the acclimation medium improved the recovery of two of the three strains. In turn, the increase of ethanol content in the synthetic wine led to a dramatic decrease of viable cells in the three strains investigated. The results of this study indicate that a successful inoculation of dehydrated L. plantarum in wine depends not only on the use of protective agents, but also on the cell acclimation process prior to preservation, and on the ethanol content of wine.     

Cyclooxygenase pathway is involved in the vascular reactivity and inhibition of the Na+, K+-ATPase activity in the tail artery from L-NAME-treated rats

L-NAME (LN) induces hypertension by blocking nitric oxide (NO) synthesis. It produces vascular hyperreactivity to phenylephrine (PHE) associated with a reduced vascular Na+, K+-ATPase activity. The aim of this work was to investigate whether products of the cyclooxygenase pathway are involved in alterations of vascular reactivity and Na+-pump activity in the tail artery from LN-induced hypertension rats. Four groups of rats were used: Control (CT, normotensive), LN (50 mg/kg/day, hypertensive), indomethacin (Indo-4 mg/kg/day, normotensive), and LN plus Indo (LN + Indo, partially prevented hypertension). All drugs were administered in drinking water during 7 days. In isolated rat tail vascular beds; the reactivity to PHE, acetylcholine (ACh), sodium nitroprusside (SNP), the functional activity of the Na+, K+-ATPase (K+-induced relaxation) and the modulation of PHE-induced vasoconstriction by constitutively available NO were evaluated. LN increased vascular sensitivity (pD2) and reactivity (Emax) to PHE and Indo blocked the effect of LN on Emax without changing pD2. Emax and pD2 values for ACh were reduced by LN and partially reverted by Indo. SNP-induced vasodilatation was similar in all groups. LN reduced the activity of Na+, K+-ATPase and Indo prevented LN effects. LN also abolished NO ability to modulate PHE-induced contractions. This effect was partially prevented by Indo suggesting that products from the cyclooxygenase pathway might reduce NO actions. Indo itself did not affect vascular reactivity to PHE, ACh or SNP or the Na+,K+-ATPase activity. Results suggested that products from cyclooxygenase pathway are involved in the genesis or maintenance of LN-induced hypertension, playing a role in the increased vascular reactivity, in the reduction of the endothelium-dependent relaxation and in the inhibition of the functional activity of the Na+, K+-ATPase.

Na+ and K+ binding by glycerinated muscle fibers at equal concentrations of the chlorides of these cations in the medium

The Na+ and K+ equilibrium distribution between the medium and glycerinated muscle fibres of the frog has been investigated under equal concentrations of NaCl and KCl in solutions. Concentrations of NaCl and KCl varied from 0.5-1.5 mkM till 50 mM. Ion strength (0.11) was constant owing to the imidazol--HCl buffer. The binding of Na+ and K+ by model fibres occurred in accordance with the Langmur equation. Two kinds of cation-binding sites were found. The one with a low limiting ion sorption (A infinity approximately 1.3 mmol/kg dry weight of fibres) and high affinities (-delta F0 approximately 4.3 kcal/mol) was saturated at 0.5 mM concentrations (Na+ = K+) in the medium, and the other--with A infinity exceeding the previous one by an order and low -delta F0 (2.5 kcal/mol) was discovered at Na+, K+-1-10 mM. At ion concentrations equal to 0.5-1 mM the Langmur-binding is disturbed. At Na+-K+ less than or equal to 1 mM Na+ bound:K+ bound approximately to 1:1. At higher concentrations of cations Na+ bound:K+ bound approximately equal to 3:2. It is concluded that at least part of the sites in model fibres is capable of interacting only with Na+, but not with K+. It is supposed that at equal concentrations of Na+ and K+ in the medium the cations are bound by Na+, K+-ATPase of glycerinated muscle fibres.     

NaCl胁迫对黄瓜幼苗体内K+、Na+和Cl-分布的影响

采用营养液水培,以2个耐盐性不同的黄瓜品种为材料,研究了不同浓度NaCl处理下幼苗植株体内K 、Na 和Cl-在器官间的区域化分布及其吸收和运输特性的变化。结果表明:NaCl胁迫下,黄瓜植株体内K 含量下降,Na 和Cl-含量升高,变化幅度随NaCl浓度的升高而增大;不同器官间,茎中Na 和Cl-含量最高,上位叶中Na 和Cl-含量最低、K 含量下降幅度最小。与耐盐性较弱的“津春2号”相比,耐盐性较强的“长春密刺”根向茎运输的SK,Na值较高,根系对Na 的截留作用较强,茎向上位叶运输的SK,Na和SCl,Na值均较高,叶片中K 含量下降幅度较小,K/Na和Cl/Na比值均较高,功能叶中盐分离子尤其是Na 积累较少,植株生物量较高。说明根系对Na 的截留能力较强且向上位叶运输Na 的选择性较低,是“长春密刺”耐盐性较强的主要原因之一。
