不同施肥方式对温室樱桃番茄果实和土壤硝酸盐含量变化的影响

主要研究了不同施肥处理(肥料种类不同和施肥量配比不同)对温室樱桃番茄果实和土壤硝酸盐含量变化的影响.结果表明:不同施肥处理果实中硝酸盐含量随追肥次数的增加,逐渐加大,到采收中期达生育期内最大值,最终略有累积;果实中硝酸盐含量为49.6~273.0 m g.k-g 1,亚硝酸盐含量为0.011~0.054 m g.kg-1.第4次追肥后果实与土壤(0~40 cm土层)中硝酸盐含量在追肥后6~9 d达最大值,以后开始下降.果实内硝酸盐的累积量与土壤硝酸盐含量成显著正相关.合理的氮肥施用量不会造成果实内硝酸盐含量的过量累积;有机肥配施适量化肥对改善果实品质、提高果实产量、调节土壤硝酸盐含量变化有着很好的效果.

胸腺肽基因对樱桃番茄的遗传转化

胸腺肽基因是一343bp的小肽基因,是从动物中克隆得到的。本文以“美味樱桃”番茄为植物材料,用农杆菌侵染法进行了胸腺肽基因的遗传转化。对所得再生植株进行了PCR和Southern blot检测及RT-PCR检测,34棵Kam抗性株通过目的基因PCR检测,4棵为阳性株,阳性株率为11．8%。实验中还对目的基因之后的Nos终止序列区进行了扩增,通过Nos Ter．引物对4株目的基因PCR阳性株作PCR检测．只有1株为阳性株,该植株经Southern blot检测和RT-PCR检测,均为阳性。这些检测结果说明胸腺肽基因成功地整合到番茄基因组中,并在转录水平上得以表达。

乙烯对番茄成熟过程中果皮细胞核超微结构的影响

应用冰冻蚀刻和透射电镜观察了番茄成熟过程中果皮细胞核染色质的变化。成熟过程开始启动时(发白期),异染色质不断减少、分散,直至转色成熟。果实成熟衰老时细胞核形态畸变,染色质结构瓦解。经外源乙烯处理后果实成熟加速,异染色质减少,核孔数量增加,NBD可消除乙烯的作用。     

番茄果实成熟过程中钙调素含量变化及其与乙烯生成的关系

应用酶联免疫吸附法(ELISA)测定番茄(Lycopersicon esculentum Mill大红品种)果实成熟过程中钙调素(CaM)含量的变化。果实开始成熟(发白期),CaM含量随着呼吸跃变上升,成熟时(粉红期)达到最大,过熟衰老时则下降。果实内部乙烯浓度、ACC含量及其合成酶活性也随跃变而增加,随过熟衰老而降低。GaM含量在果实不同部位中的分布有明显差异,跃变上升期以子房腔组织含量最高,并由中心向外逐渐降低,外周果皮含量最低。此时用外源乙烯催熟处理促进各部位CaM增加。成熟衰老时子房腔组织首先衰老,CaM含量大为降低,但在中柱和果皮中却高于跃变上升期。外源乙烯促进衰老使CaM下降。Ca~(2+)促进番茄圆片CaM含量增高和乙烯产生,CaM抑制剂CPZ,TFP在降低CaM含量的同时也抑制乙烯的产生。     

PG在番茄果实成熟中的作用及二价金属离子与乙烯对PG活性的影响

对采后番茄果实的电镜观察表明:当果实成熟衰老时,叶绿体数量减少,多数基粒结构丧失;成熟果实胞壁中胶层水解成中空的电子透明区,初生壁的纤丝也发生一定程度的水解,相邻细胞分离;外源 PG(多聚半乳糖醛酸酶)提取物处理绿熟期果实组织,也可引起胞壁结构和叶绿体发生与正常衰老相同的变化。Ca~(2+)、Mg~(2+)、Co~(2+)二价金属离子处理果实,可明显降低番茄红素含量和 PG 活性,延缓果实软化。外源乙烯处理果实,可促进番茄红素的形成,提高 PG活性,并能解除钙对 PG 活性的抑制。本文也对 PG 在乙烯和 Ca~(2+)调节果实成熟中的作用进行了讨论。     

Symptomatic Evidence for Differential Root Invasion by Fusarium Crown and Root Rot Pathogens Between Common Tomato Lycopersicon esculentum and Its Varieties

The pathogenic isolates (Kin2001a, Kin2001b and Kin2003) of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis‐lycopersici were obtained from hydroponically cultured seedlings of pear tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum var. pyriforme) infected at different times and their pathogenicity examined in an in vitro assay system on cotyledonal seedlings of pear tomato, cherry tomato (L. esculentum var. cerasiforme) and common tomato (L. esculentum). With the in vitro assay, infection and subsequent disease progress could be microscopically observed. Pear and cherry tomatoes suppressed invasion by all isolates at the junctions of epidermal cells along the root, comparable with the resistant cultivars of common tomato. The pathogen entered pear and cherry tomatoes at the tips of lateral roots and tap roots, in contrast to infection of susceptible cultivars of common tomato. In Kin2003‐inoculated roots, the top of the lateral rootlets first became discoloured, followed by the cortical parenchyma, central xylem vessel and finally the crown. This dark‐brown discolouration expanded rapidly and severe rot developed in the discoloured regions. In contrast, the dark‐brown discolouration in Kin2001b‐infected roots expanded into the cortical parenchyma cells abutting the originally infected lateral rootlets and at a much slower rate. Kin2001a was in a new group that entered via the cortical cleavage formed by the emergence of lateral rootlets, in addition to the tips of taproots and lateral roots. In this in vitro assay system, the Japanese pathogenic isolates collected from different districts of Japan were characterized and classified by the mode of host invasion. Of 13 isolates, four were placed with Kin2003, six with Kin2001a and three with Kin2001b.     

昼间亚高温对花后番茄叶和果实中光合产物代谢的影响

于日光温室中栽培的番茄第一花序第一花开花和开花10d时分别作昼间35℃亚高温处理(以25℃为对照),检测不同生育期的番茄叶与果实中同化产物积累与代谢变化的结果表明:番茄开花后叶中果糖、葡萄糖和蔗糖含量均下降,花后亚高温处理时期越早,叶中糖含量越低;果实发育过程中的果糖、葡萄糖和蔗糖含量比25℃下的高,但成熟时趋于一致。叶和果实中蔗糖代谢相关酶的活性变化基本一致,酸性转化酶(AI)与中性转化酶(NI)活性下降,蔗糖合成酶(SS)和蔗糖磷酸合成酶(SPS)活性升高。     

Ca2+对离体培养的番茄花柄脱落的影响以及脱落过程中离区内钙形态的变化

在自然条件下,Ca~(2 )对离体培养的番茄花柄脱落有抑制作用,而对经乙烯处理的则有显著的促进。无论是在自然还是乙烯条件下,未经任何处理的番茄花柄脱落过程中总钙与果胶酸钙含量下降,而水溶性钙含量升高,Ca~(2 )在不同程度上提高脱落过程中离区总钙、果胶酸钙和水溶性钙含量,尤其是在乙烯下的效果更显著,而经EGTA处理的则相反。     

乙酰水杨酸在番茄果实发育期间对蔗糖代谢相关酶活性的影响

研究不同浓度乙酰水杨酸(ASA)对番茄品种‘辽园多丽’果实发育期间蔗糖代谢相关酶影响的结果表明:ASA可抑制果实的维管束和胶质胎座中酸性转化酶(AI)和中性转化酶(NI)活性,而提高蔗糖合成酶(SS)与蔗糖磷酸合成酶(SPS)活性;心室隔壁和中果肉中ASA的作用与此相反。ASA促进果实维管束中可溶性糖积累主要通过调控AI和NI活性实现,而在胶质胎座中主要通过调控SS活性实现;在中果肉和心室隔壁中主要通过调控SS和AI活性实现。     

1-甲基环丙烯(1-MCP)对油桃果实软化的影响

1-甲基环丙烯(1-MCP)可延缓油桃果实硬度的下降,阻止引起果实软化的细胞物质(淀粉、纤维素、果胶)的降解,抑制与果实软化相关的酶(淀粉酶、纤维素酶、多聚半乳糖醛酸酶)活性。     

Changes in Structural Features of Free N-Glycan and Endoglycosidase Activity during Tomato Fruit Ripening

In developing plants, free N-glycans occur ubiquitously at micromolar concentrations. Such oligosaccharides have been proposed to be signaling molecules in plant development. As a part of a study to elucidate the physiological roles of de-N-glycosylation machinery involved in fruit ripening, we analyzed changes in the amounts and structural features of free N-glycans in tomato fruits at four ripening stages. The amount of high-mannose type free N-glycans increased significantly in accordance with fruit ripening, and the relative amounts of high-molecular size N-glycans, such as Man_8-9GlcNAc₁, became predominant. These observations suggest that the de-N-glycosylation machinery, including endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (ENGase) activity, is stimulated in the later stages of fruit ripening. But contrary to expectation, we found that total ENGase activities in the tomato fruits did not vary significantly with the ripening process, suggesting that ENGase activity must be maintained at a certain level, and that the expression of α-mannosidase involved in the clearance of free N-glycans decreases during tomato fruit ripening.     

Changes in polar lipids during ripening and senescence of cherry tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum): Relation to climacteric and ethylene increases

The entire senescence period, including ripening, is characterized in cherry tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. var. cerasiforme Alef.) by two successive changes in overall polar lipid content. The rise in respiration of the fruit in the climacteric phase is accompanied by a large increase in lipids, notably phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidic acid. This suggests the coexistence of anabolic and catabolic processes in this first period. At the degreening stage of the fruit, decreased levels of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol and the disappearance of trigalactosyldiacylglycerol may indicate some degradation of the chloroplast compartment. Following a respiratory upsurge, a sudden breakdown of total lipids occurs concomitantly with maximal ethylene production. This breakdown is essentially caused by a parallel decrease in the amounts of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidic acid and also phosphatidylglycerol. However, in the cherry tomato, lipid peroxidation, evaluated by alteration of fatty acid distribution, seems insufficient to account for the ethylene peak.     

昼间亚高温下番茄叶中糖含量与蔗糖代谢相关酶的活性日变化

研究番茄品种‘辽园多丽’幼苗在昼间35℃亚高温条件下叶中糖含量及蔗糖代谢相关酶活性日变化的结果表明,昼间亚高温处理后的幼苗叶中果糖、葡萄糖和淀粉含量下降,蔗糖含量升高。与蔗糖代谢相关的酶活性有明显的昼夜节律性变化,转化酶、蔗糖合成酶呈现昼间活性低、夜间活性高的节律性,而蔗糖磷酸合成酶活性在进入夜间时立刻升高。35℃昼间亚高温处理后的幼苗叶中,转化酶活性下降,蔗糖合成酶活性明显升高,蔗糖磷酸合成酶活性则略有升高。     

Plant Regeneration from Cotyledon Protoplasts of Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.)

otyledon protoplasts of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) isolated from 2–3 week grown seedlings were cultured in MS liquid medium (2,4-D 1, 6-BA 0.1 mg/l) and fresh medium added subsequently. After 6 weeks culture, the cell clusters were transferred to semisolid medium (the additive same as in liquid medium, agar 0.3%). When the calli grew to 0.5 cm in diameter, transfer them to MS medium (6-BA 2, IAA 0.2 mg/l) for differentiation. The regenerated plants were obtained. After comparing different culture methods, tomato protoplasts grew better in double layers than in agar plate and hanging drops.     

Cropping system influences Tomato spotted wilt virus disease development,thrips population and yield of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum)

Yield of tomato is limited by many diseases including Tomato spotted wilt virus disease. This study was conducted in the field at Kenya Agriculture Research Institute Njoro, Kenya, in 2004 and 2006 to determine the effect of intercropping on disease development, thrips population and yield of tomato variety Cal J grown under four intercrop systems involving kale, onion, maize and sole tomato. The experimental design was a Randomised Complete Block Design (RCBD) replicated three times. Disease scores on tomato–maize differed significantly from tomato–kale and tomato–onion in both years of the study. Maize cropping system had a low significant thrips population from the other cropping systems. Tomato–maize intercrop produced the lowest fruit weights and marketable yield in 2004 and 2006, while yield of onion, kale and maize in intercrops were not significantly different from their monocrops. Land equivalent ratio was >1 in all the cropping systems.
