盐胁迫下镧对水稻幼苗生长的保护效应

通过液培实验,研究水稻幼苗在盐胁迫下,镧对水稻幼苗的保护作用。结果表明：水稻幼苗植株在≤1．5％的盐浓度的盐胁迫下,10mg·L^-1镧能提高幼苗植株超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）和过氧化氢酶（CAT）的活性;降低幼苗植株脂质过氧化产物丙二醛（MDA）的含量和脯氨酸（Pro）的含量;减小质膜透性;提高叶片叶绿素含量和叶绿素a／b的比值;增强根系的活力,进而促进水稻幼苗的生长。10mg·L^-1镧对盐胁迫的缓解作用与盐浓度有关,随着盐浓度增大,镧的缓解作用将逐渐消失。分析表明,在≤1．0％和≥0．5％的盐浓度胁迫下,镧对水稻幼苗的生长存在更有效的防御机制,能够促进水稻幼苗的生长代谢。

干旱、盐和低温胁迫对水稻幼苗脯氨酸含量的影响

以三叶期的水稻幼苗为材料,研究了干旱（－０．６ＭＰａ ＰＥＧ模拟）、盐（０．１５ｍｌ／Ｌ ＮａＣｌ）和低温（６℃）胁迫下,不同水稻品种脯氨酸积累的变化。结果表明,干旱、盐和低温胁迫下稻苗均可积累脯氨酸,且随着胁迫时间的处长而加剧。在同一胁迫条件下,耐性强的品种脯氨酸积累较少,而敏感品种脯氨酸积累则较多。脯氨酸的积累不宜作为稻苗抗逆性的筛选指标。

以耐盐性不同的水稻品种Pokkali(耐盐)和Peta(盐敏感)为材料,研究了叶绿体中保护系统对盐胁迫的响应。结果表明：随着NaCl胁迫时间的增加,供试两品种叶绿体中H2O2和MDA含量增加,耐盐品种Pokkali增加的幅度明显小于盐敏感品种Peta;NaCl胁迫下叶绿体内的SOD活性下降,APX、GR活性和．ASA、GSH含量均为先升后降,耐盐品种Pokkali下降的幅度小于Peta。在200mmol／L NaCl胁迫过程中,Pokkali叶绿体内SOD、APX、GR活性和ASA、GSH含量均高于Peta,说明在NaCl胁迫下耐盐品种叶绿体内清除活性氧的能力强于盐敏感品种。     

不同耐盐性水稻幼苗根氨同化酶对盐胁迫的反应

在盐胁迫下,检测了耐盐性不同的水稻(Oryza sativa L.)品种根部氨同化酶及其相关参数的变化.结果表明,根的可溶性蛋白、谷氨酰胺合成酶(GS)及依赖于NADH的谷氨酸合酶(NADH-GOGAT)活性在高盐浓度下不同程度地降低,其影响大小依次为早花二号(盐敏感品种)、金珠一号(正常栽培品种)、津稻779(耐盐品种),与其耐盐性相一致.在盐胁迫条件下,在耐盐性较高的水稻品种中,GS和GOGAT活性比盐敏感品种高,NH4 浓度维持在较低的水平.Native-PAGE和活性染色结果表明,GSrb更容易受到外界环境的影响.在高浓度盐的胁迫下,早花二号、金珠一号的依赖于NADH的谷氨酸脱氢酶(AADH-GDH)活性都有较显著的升高,津稻779却无明显的变化,这和NH4 含量的变化相一致.盐不同程度地导致可溶性糖(TSS)在金珠一号和津稻779根部积累,而在早花2号的根部,可溶性糖的水平则随盐浓度的不同而表现出不同的变化.在所检测的品种中,脯氨酸的含量均有不同程度的升高,但在高盐浓度下,盐敏感品种的含量较低.这些结果提示,不同的水稻品种对盐胁迫的敏感程度与该品种GS以及GOGAT活性的高低有关.

Expression of a calcineurin gene improves salt stress tolerance in transgenic rice

Calcineurin is a Ca²⁺- and calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine phosphatase and has multiple functions in animal cells including regulating ionic homeostasis. We generated transgenic rice plants that not only expressed a truncated form of the catalytic subunit of mouse calcineurin, but also were able to grow and fertilize normally in the field. Notably, the expression of the mouse calcineurin gene in rice resulted in its higher salt stress tolerance than the non-transgenic rice. Physiological studies have indicated that the root growth of transgenic plants was less inhibited than the shoot growth, and that less Na⁺ was accumulated in the roots of transgenic plants after a prolonged period of salt stress. These findings imply that the heterologous calcineurin plays a significant role in maintaining ionic homeostasis and the integrity of plant roots when exposed to salt. In addition, the calcineurin gene expression in the stems of transgenic plants correlated with the increased expression of the Rab16A gene that encodes a group 2-type late-embryogenesis-abundant (LEA) protein. Altogether our findings provide the first genetic and physiological evidence that expression of the mouse calcineurin protein functionally improves the salt stress tolerance of rice partly by limiting Na⁺ accumulation in the roots.     

An RNA chaperone,AtCSP2, negatively regulates salt stress tolerance

Cold shock domain (CSD) proteins are RNA chaperones that destabilize RNA secondary structures. Arabidopsis Cold Shock Domain Protein 2 (AtCSP2), one of the 4 CSD proteins (AtCSP1-AtCSP4) in Arabidopsis, is induced during cold acclimation but negatively regulates freezing tolerance. Here, we analyzed the function of AtCSP2 in salt stress tolerance. A double mutant, with reduced AtCSP2 and no AtCSP4 expression (atcsp2–3 atcsp4–1), displayed higher survival rates after salt stress. In addition, overexpression of AtCSP2 resulted in reduced salt stress tolerance. These data demonstrate that AtCSP2 acts as a negative regulator of salt stress tolerance in Arabidopsis.     

Enhanced tolerance to salt stress in transgenic rice that overexpresses chloroplast glutamine synthetase

The potential role of photorespiration in the protection against salt stress was examined with transgenic rice plants. Oryza sativa L. cv. Kinuhikari was transformed with a chloroplastic glutamine synthetase (GS2) gene from rice. Each transgenic rice plant line showed a different accumulation level of GS2. A transgenic plant line, G39-2, which accumulated about 1.5-fold more GS2 than the control plant, had an increased photorespiration capacity. In another line, G241-12, GS2 was almost lost and photorespiration activity could not be detected. Fluorescence quenching analysis revealed that photorespiration could prevent the over-reduction of electron transport systems. When exposed to 150 mM NaCl for 2 weeks, the control rice plants completely lost photosystem II activity, but G39-2 plants retained more than 90% activity after the 2-week treatment, whereas G241-12 plants lost these activities within one week. In the presence of isonicotinic acid hydrazide, an inhibitor of photorespiration, G39-2 showed the same salt tolerance as the control plants. The intracellular contents of NH₄ ⁺ and Na⁺ in the stressed plants correlated well with the levels of GS2. Thus, the enhancement of photorespiration conferred resistance to salt in rice plants. Preliminary results suggest chilling tolerance in the transformant.     

Receptor‐like kinase OsSIK1 improves drought and salt stress tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa) plants

Receptor‐like kinases (RLKs) play essential roles in plant growth, development and responses to environmental stresses. A putative RLK gene, OsSIK1, with extracellular leucine‐rich repeats was cloned and characterized in rice (Oryza sativa). OsSIK1 exhibits kinase activity in the presence of Mn²⁺, and the OsSIK1 kinase domain has the ability to autophosphorylate and phosphorylate myelin basic protein (MBP). OsSIK1 promoter‐GUS analysis revealed that OsSIK1 is expressed mainly in the stem and spikelet in rice. The expression of OsSIK1 is mainly induced by salt, drought and H₂O₂ treatments. Transgenic rice plants with overexpression of OsSIK1 show higher tolerance to salt and drought stresses than control plants. On the contrary, the knock‐out mutants sik1‐1 and sik1‐2, as well as RNA interference (RNAi) plants, are sensitive to drought and salt stresses. The activities of peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and catalase are enhanced significantly in OsSIK1‐overexpressing plants. Also, the accumulation of H₂O₂ in leaves of OsSIK1‐overexpressing plants is much less than that of the mutants, RNAi plants and control plants, as measured by 3,3′‐diamino benzidine (DAB) staining. We also show that OsSIK1 affects stomatal density in the abaxial and adaxial leaf epidermis of rice. These results indicate that OsSIK1 plays important roles in salt and drought stress tolerance in rice, through the activation of the antioxidative system.     

Spermine accumulation under salt stress

Polyamines have long been recognized to be linked to stress situations, and it is generally accepted that they have protective characteristics. However, little is known about their physiological relevance in plants subjected to long-term salt stress. In order to precise their importance, two rice (Oryza sativa) cultivars differing in their salt tolerance were salinized for 7, 14 and 21 days. The activities of some of the enzymes involved in polyamine metabolism, free polyamines and proline contents were evaluated. Arginine decarboxylase and S-adenosyl-L-methionine decarboxylase activities were reduced in both cultivars as a consequence of salt treatment. However, spermidine synthase activity was reduced in the salt tolerant cultivar (var Giza) but not in the salt sensitive (var El Paso), while no polyamine oxidase activity was detected. During the salinization period, putrescine and spermidine levels decreased in both cultivars, although less dramatically in Giza. Simultaneously, spermine accumulations occur in both varieties, while proline accumulation was major in the sensitive one. However, spermine accumulation induced by treatment with spermidine synthase inhibitor cyclohexylamine, determined no reduction in leaf injury associated with salt stress in both cultivars. The data presented suggest that spermine accumulation is not a salt tolerance trait.
