谷子(Setaria italica Beauv.)在不同光周期下酯酶同工酶和某些生理特性的比较研究

转移光周期试验结果表明,谷子的光周期敏感性主要分布于茎尖分化以前。植物生长早期叶片酯酶同工酶的变化被短日照提早,而被不断光照推迟。酶带变化可能涉及幼年植物分化状态的改变。不断光照引起植物早期奋发生叶层次内α-淀粉酶活性逐渐下降,6叶期下跌到最低值,以后再度回升。而这一酶活性水平的V型波动被短日照条件所阻止。植物叶内游离抗坏血酸含量和过氧化物酶活性水平表现在生长发育水平上的起伏变化,并都在6叶期极度下降。而短日照下6叶期也正值植物茎尖伸长。

光周期调节光敏感核不育水稻叶片抗环血酸过氧化物酶的活性

从第二次枝梗原基分化期开始用长日照(LD)或短日照(SD)处理光敏感核不育水稻农垦58S 和常规水稻农垦58。与 SD 处理比较,LD 处理明显抑制农垦58S 和农垦58的抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(AsAPOD)的活性,对农垦58S 的 AsA POD 活性的抑制效应较之农垦58的大。随着 AsAPOD 活性下降,抗坏血酸(AsA)和丙二醛(MDA)的含量逐渐增加,AsA POD 活性与 AsA 和MDA 含量之间呈负相关。LD 抑制 ASA POD 活性和抑制幼穗发育的时间有一定的一致性。推测在 LD 处理下 AsA POD 活性下降与幼穗发育受阻有某些内在的联系。

NaCl胁迫对螺旋藻生长及抗氧化酶活性的影响

在0.1％～5.0％NaCl浓度范围的培养基中培养极大螺旋藻(Spirulina maxima),发现NaCl浓度高于2.0％时螺旋藻生长受到明显抑制。培养7天后测定超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(ASA-POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性和丙二醛(MDA)含量。结果表明：在盐胁迫下,SOD酶活性升高;抗坏血酸过氧化物酶和过氧化氢酶活性在低盐胁迫下活性升高,高盐胁迫下抗坏血酸过氧化物酶活性迅速降低,过氧化物酶则完全失活;MDA含量先随盐胁迫程度增加而降低,后随盐胁迫的进一步增强恢复至对照水平。     

桃叶片抗冷性对光周期诱导休眠的响应

以6年生“春捷”桃树为试材,以自然生长的桃树为对照,研究了长日照和短日照的休眠诱导效应和休眠诱导进程中叶片抗冷性对光周期的响应.结果表明: 在逐渐降低的自然环境温度下,长日照和短日照处理树体均能进入休眠诱导期,其中长日照处理延后1周而短日照处理提前1周进入.随着休眠程度的加深,各处理叶片的总含水量、自由水含量降低,束缚水含量、束缚水/自由水比值升高.超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性在休眠诱导期内均呈单峰曲线,高峰值出现在休眠诱导期的后期,过氧化物酶(POD)活性进入休眠诱导期后迅速下降,后期回升形成小高峰.休眠诱导期内可溶性蛋白含量稳步下降,脯氨酸和丙二醛(MDA)含量持续升高,伤害率逐渐增大.长日照可显著提高SOD、CAT活性及脯氨酸含量,减缓POD活性和可溶性蛋白含量的降幅,降低MDA和伤害率的增幅.这表明长日照处理叶片受伤害程度更轻,而短日照处理相应指标的变化则不同,尤其诱导期后期叶片的伤害率显著高于对照,表现出较低的抗冷性.如果环境温度允许,实际生产中可以适当延长光照时间来提高叶片的抗冷性.     

不同耐铝型杉木幼苗叶片抗氧化系统对铝胁迫的响应特征

为探讨铝胁迫对杉木抗坏血酸-谷胱甘肽(AsA-GSH)循环的影响,明确AsA-GSH循环在杉木耐铝性中的作用,以耐铝(YX26)和铝敏感型(YX5)杉木家系为材料,分析了铝胁迫对不同耐铝型杉木叶片氧化损伤、抗氧化酶活性和AsA-GSH循环系统的影响。结果表明:(1)铝胁迫显著增加杉木叶片丙二醛(MDA)含量,而且YX5叶片中MDA含量增幅显著大于YX26。(2)铝胁迫不同程度增加了2个杉木家系叶片过氧化物酶(POD)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)和单脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(MDAR)活性以及抗坏血酸(AsA)、脱氢抗坏血酸(DHA)、还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)和氧化型谷胱甘肽(GSSG)含量,而且除AsA含量外,铝胁迫下YX26中上述酶活性和非酶性抗氧化剂含量的增幅均大于YX5。(3)铝胁迫下YX5叶片中过氧化氢酶(CAT)和脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(DHAR)的活性受到显著抑制,而YX26中这两个酶的活性却有所增加,且YX26中的DHAR活性显著高于对照。(4)铝胁迫抑制了2个杉木家系超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性,但YX26中SOD活性的降幅小于YX5。研究认为,铝胁迫下通过维持AsA-GSH循环酶活性和非酶性抗氧化系统的高效运转,增强自身活性氧清除能力是耐铝型杉木家系具有较强铝耐能力的生理基础。

Induction of flowering in the duckweed Lemna paucicostata under non-inductive photoperiods by tannic acid

Flowering in Lemna paucicostata 6746 could be induced by tannic acid under strictly non-inductive photoperiods. This polyphenol completely abolished the photoperiodic sensitivity of strain 6746 as flowering could also be obtained under continuous light (nearly 80% flowering was recorded in the plants supplied with 10⁻⁵ tannic acid). Though its mode of action is unknown, tannic acid is unlikely to act as a gibberellin-antagonist in its effect on flowering in strain 6746.     

Salicylic acid is involved in the regulation of starvation stress-induced flowering in Lemna paucicostata

The short-day plant, Lemna paucicostata (synonym Lemna aequinoctialis), was induced to flower when cultured in tap water without any additional nutrition under non-inductive long-day conditions. Flowering occurred in all three of the tested strains, and strain 6746 was the most sensitive to the starvation stress conditions. For each strain, the stress-induced flowering response was weaker than that induced by short-day treatment, and the stress-induced flowering of strain 6746 was completely inhibited by aminooxyacetic acid and l-2-aminooxy-3-phenylpropionic acid, which are inhibitors of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase. Significantly higher amounts of endogenous salicylic acid (SA) were detected in the fronds that flowered under the poor-nutrition conditions than in the vegetative fronds cultured under nutrition conditions, and exogenously applied SA promoted the flowering response. The results indicate that endogenous SA plays a role in the regulation of stress-induced flowering.     

Changes in ascorbic acid content and ascorbate peroxidase activity during the development of Acetabularia mediterranea

Abstract. The level of peroxidase activity utilizing ascorbic acid changes during the development of the green alga, Acetabularia mediterranea. During development almost parallel levels of peroxidase activity and ascorbic acid content are detectable: both steadily decrease as algae progress from very young, slowly growing cells to the rapid growth stage and then to cells exhibiting differentiation into primordium and cap. Changes in the levels of the enzyme and its substrate in the cytoplasm and periplasm were demonstrated using biochemical and cytochemical procedures. Concomitant with these developmental changes, we also observed changes in the stage-specific patterns of ascorbic acid concentration: growing algae exhibit a pronounced negative apicobasal gradient of ascorbic acid. Acetabularia cultivated at 1,200 lux (the normal intensity in a 12-h-light/12-h-dark cycle) and at 700 lux (intensity at which growth is reduced, and cap formation is delayed) were also compared. The higher light intensity induced a moderate decrease in the ascorbic acid content without noticeable changes in the compartmental distribution in the cytoplasm and periplasm, and an increase in the level of periplasmic peroxidase activity with little change in the total peroxidase activity. Catalase was found to be present at very low levels and is unlikely to play a role in H₂O₂ catabolism. Possible roles for ascorbic acid and peroxidase in the development of Acetabularia are discussed.     

Role of Antioxidant Systems in Wheat Genotypes Tolerance to Water Stress

The role of plant antioxidant systems in stress tolerance was studied in leaves of three contrasting wheat genotypes. Drought imposed at two different stages after anthesis resulted in an increase in H2O2 accumulation and lipid peroxidation and decrease in ascorbic acid content. Antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase and catalase significantly increased under water stress. Drought tolerant genotype C 306 which had highest ascorbate peroxidase and catalase activity and ascorbic acid content also showed lowest H2O2 accumulation and lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde content) under water stress in comparison to susceptible genotype HD 2329 which showed lowest antioxidant enzyme activity and ascorbic acid content and highest H2O2 content and lipid peroxidation. HD 2285 which is tolerant to high temperature during grain filling period showed intermediate behaviour. Superoxide dismutase activity, however, did not show significant differences among the genotypes under irrigated as well as water stress condition. It seems that H2O2 scavenging systems as represented by ascorbate peroxidase and catalase are more important in imparting tolerance against drought induced oxidative stress than superoxide dismutase alone. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Flower-Inducing Activity of Lysine in Lemna paucicostata 6746

Flowering of Lemna paucicostata 6746, a typical short-day plant,was induced by culture for 96 or 120 h in nitrogen-free mediumunder continuous illumination. To examine the effects of lysine,we homogenized entire plants of L. paucicostata 151 in a solutionof lysine and the supernatant obtained after centrifugationof the homogenate was added to the medium to give various concentrationsof lysine in the medium. Flowering of strain 6746 in nitrogen-freeor nitrogen-deficient culture medium was effectively promotedby the addition of a lysine-containing supernatant to the medium.The suppressive effect of elastatinal, a protease inhibitor,on the induction of flowering was almost completely reversedby the simultaneous application of a lysine-containing supernatantto the medium. During nitrogen-free culture, the level of endogenousfree lysine, expressed on the basis of the amount of total freeamino acids, increased. Lysine-containing supernatants alsoinduced flowering of plants in nitrogen-rich medium under continuousillumination. These findings suggest that endogenous lysineis involved in the induction of flowering in L. paucicostata6746 on nitrogen-free or nitrogen-deficient medium, as it isin the induction of flowering in L. paucicostata 151 (Received July 29, 1996; Accepted November 18, 1996)     

Flower-inducing Effect of Benzoic and Salicylic Acids in Various Strains of Lemna paucicostata and L. minor

The flower-inducing activities of benzoic and salicylic acidsadded to the medium differ with the species (Lemna paucicostataand L. minor), and even with the strains used. The type andpH of the medium used, full or 1/10 strength M medium at pH3.8, 4.4 or 5.1, or 1/2 or 1/20 strength NH₄⁺-free Hutner'smedium at pH 5.0, 6.0 or 7.0, also modify their activity. L.paucicostata, strain 151 is the most sensitive of the strainsused to both benzoic and salicylic acids followed by strain381. Such dramatic flowering responses were not obtained withthe other strains, but even strain 321, reportedly insensitiveto benzoic acid, could be induced to flower by adding benzoicacid to a modification of the medium. Benzoic acid is more effectivethan salicylic acid for all strains of L. paucicostata, butthe contrary is true for two L. minor strains tested. A higherpercentage of flowering is obtained in L. paucicostata in 1/2strength NH₄⁺-free Huter'sn medium than in M medium, exceptfor strain 151. When diluted, both media enhance flowering inall L. paucicostata strains. Generally, a lower concentrationof benzoic acid or salicylic acid is enough to induce floweringwhen the pH of the medium is lower. (Received March 30, 1981; Accepted May 16, 1981)     

采后荔枝果实中氧化和过氧化作用的变化

采后的荔枝（Litchi chinensts)果实的果皮和果汁中的抗坏血酸及果汁的谷胱甘肽含量逐渐下降,果皮的谷胱甘肽甘肽含量先增多（采后3天）接着减少,超氧化物歧化酶活性随采后时间加长而降低,膜脂过氧化产物丙二醛及过氧化物酶活性显著增高,采收7天后果皮中丙二醛含量增加2倍,过氧化物酶活性增高6－7倍,超氧物歧化酶活性只为原来的44％,内源清除活性氧能力的减弱与膜脂过氧化产物的积累表明,荔枝果实的衰老与活性氧的伤害有关,过氧化物酶活性增高可作为果实衰老的一个指标。     

Flower-inducing Activity of Vitamin K in Lemna paucicostata

Vitamins K₁ K₃ and K₅ induced flowering in Lemna paucicostata151, a short-day plant, cultured in 1/10 strength M medium (1/10M medium) under continuous light, and their activity was greatlyintensified by simultaneous application of benzyladenine. Themost active of these was vitamin K₅ L. paucicostata 6746 ismore sensitive to vitamin K₅ than strain 151, but the effectof vitamin K₅ on strain 6746 was not intensified by benzyladenine.The flower-inducing activity of vitamin K₅ was intensified bythe addition of benzoic acid in both strains and by the additionof copper or ferricyanide in Strain 6746, when these chemicalswere added at such low concentrations that they would scarcelyinduce flowering. In strain 6746, vitamin K₅ added to 1/10 M had little effecton flowering under a subcritical photoperiod, while it clearlyinduced flowering under continuous light. In this strain, vitaminK₅ added to full strength M medium, in which this plant wasmore sensitive to short photoperiods than in 1/10 M medium,did not induce flowering even under continuous light, and wasrather inhibitory under short photoperiods.

Interactions of nisin and pediocin PA-1 with closely related lactic acid bacteria that manifest over 100-fold differences in bacteriocin sensitivity.

The natural variation in the susceptibilities of gram-positive bacteria towards the bacteriocins nisin and pediocin PA-1 is considerable. This study addresses the factors associated with this variability for closely related lactic acid bacteria. We compared two sets of nonbacteriocinogenic strains for which the MICs of nisin and pediocin PA-1 differed 100- to 1,000-fold: Lactobacillus sake DSM20017 and L. sake DSM20497 and Pediococcus dextrinicus and Pediococcus pentosaccus. Strikingly, the bacteriocin-sensitive and -insensitive strains showed a similar concentration-dependent dissipation of their membrane potential (delta psi) after exposure to these bacteriocins. The bacteriocin-induced dissipation of delta psi below the MICs for the insensitive strains did not coincide with a reduction of intracellular ATP pools and glycolytic rates. This was not observed with the sensitive strains. Analysis of membrane lipid properties revealed minor differences in the phospho- and glycolipid compositions of both sets of strains. The interactions of the bacteriocins with strain-specific lipids were not significantly different in a lipid monolayer assay. Further lipid analysis revealed higher in situ membrane fluidity of the bacteriocin-sensitive Pediococcus strain compared with that for the insensitive strain, but the opposite was found for the L. sake strains. Our results provide evidence that the association of bacteriocins with the cell membrane and their subsequent insertion take place in a similar way for cells that have a high or a low natural tolerance towards bacteriocins. For insensitive strains, overall membrane constitution rather than mere membrane fluidity may preclude the formation of pores with sufficient diameters and lifetimes to ultimately cause cell death.
