Fluorescence characteristics and photophysical parameters of light-harvesting chlorophyll <Emphasis Type="Italic">a/b</Emphasis> complex aggregates

Fluorescence characteristics and molecular photophysical parameters of light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b complexes isolated from pea were studied in relation to their aggregation state. The aggregate size was varied by changing the Triton X-100 concentration from 0 to 0.23 mM at a chlorophyll concentration of 2.45 μg/ml. Molecular photophysical parameters were determined with laser fluorimetry. Dispersion of large aggregates into smaller ones drastically decreased the intensity of low-temperature (77 K) fluorescence at 700 nm, reduced the singlet-singlet annihilation rate by more than two orders of magnitude, and prolonged the fluorescence lifetime from 0.16 to 3.2 ns.     

On the possibilities of diagnosis of the state of the phytoplankton photosynthetic apparatus by the method of nonlinear laser fluorimetry

The possibilities of diagnosis of the state of the phytoplankton photosynthetic apparatus by the method of nonlinear laser fluorimetry (saturation fluorimetry), which can be realized in remote sensing mode, were investigated. A procedure for the determination of the nonsaturated fluorescence parameter phi0, which is proportional to the concentration of chlorophyll a molecules, and the parameter A, which is a product of three photophysical parameters of chlorophyll a molecule in native chloroplast, was elaborated. Laboratory experiments with the axenic culture of eurihaline Thalassiosira weissflogii showed that the parameter A depends on the state of the photosynthetic apparatus of the alga, which was varied by either DCMU treatment or exposure to actinic light.     

Cadmium stress in wheat seedlings: growth,cadmium accumulation and photosynthesis

Seedlings of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars Jing 411, Jinmai 30 and Yangmai 10 were exposed to 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 μM of CdCl₂ in a solution culture experiment. The effects of cadmium (Cd) stress on wheat growth, leaf photon energy conversion, gas exchange, and Cd accumulation in wheat seedlings were investigated. Gas exchange was monitored at 3, 9, 24 days after treatment (DAT). Growth parameters, chlorophyll content, leaf chlorophyll fluorescence, and Cd concentration in shoot and root were measured at 24 DAT. Seedling growth, gas exchange, chlorophyll content, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were generally depressed by Cd stress, especially under the high Cd concentrations. Cd concentration and accumulation in both shoots and roots increased with increasing external Cd concentrations. Relationships between corrected parameters of growth, photosynthesis and fluorescence and corrected Cd concentrations in shoots and roots could be explained by the regression model Y = K/(1 + exp(a + bX)). Jing 411 was found to be Cd tolerant considering parameters of chlorophyll content, photosynthesis and chlorophyll fluorescence in which less Cd translocation was from roots into shoots. The high Cd concentrations were in shoots and roots in Yangmai 10 which has been found to be a relative Cd tolerant cultivar in terms of most growth parameters.     

NO3-胁迫及恢复对黄瓜幼苗叶片叶绿素荧光参数及ATPase活性的影响

通过水培试验,探讨了不同NO₃^-浓度胁迫及恢复对黄瓜幼苗叶片叶绿素含量、叶绿素荧光参数及ATPase活性的影响.结果表明,胁迫7 d后,高浓度NO₃^-(168 mmol·L^-1)可极显著提高叶绿素a、叶绿素b、总叶绿素和类胡萝卜素含量,极显著提高初始荧光(F_o)、Mg ATPase和Ca-ATPase活性,而PSⅡ原初光能转化效率(F_v/F_m)、PSⅡ潜在活性(F_v/F_o)和PSⅡ光合电子传递量子效率(ΦPSⅡ),却随NO₃^-浓度的增加而降低.恢复7 d后,所有处理叶绿素和类胡萝卜素含量均低于对照;初始荧光基本都恢复至对照水平;PSⅡ原初光能转化效率和PSⅡ光合电子传递量子效率在NO₃^-浓度低于126 mmol·L^-1时,基本恢复至对照水平,而高于这一水平时,仍显著低于对照;PSⅡ潜在活性在NO₃^-浓度为42和126 mmol·L^-1的处理基本达对照水平,其它处理仍极显著低于对照;Mg-ATPase和Ca-ATPase活性均出现先降低后升高的变化趋势.     

Photophysical properties and photodynamic activity in vivo of some tetrapyrroles

Some of the photophysical properties (stationary absorbance and fluorescence, fluorescence decay times and singlet oxygen quantum yields) of pheophorbide a, metal-free, ClAl-, Cu- and Mg-t-butyl-substituted phthalocyanines, metal-free, ClAl- and Cu-t-butyl-substituted naphthalocyanines and of a number of tetraphenylporphyrins (5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin, 5,10,15,20-tetra(m-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin, 5,10,15,20-tetra(p-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin) have been studied in comparison with hematoporphyrin IX in order to select potent photosensitizers for the photodynamic treatment of cancer. The photodynamic activity of these compounds was investigated using Lewis lung carcinoma in mice. As a consequence of the photophysical parameters (relatively short singlet state lifetimes, and high singlet oxygen quantum yields) the photodynamic activities of pheophorbide a, t-butyl-substituted ClAl-phthalocyanine and ClAl-naphthalocyanine were selected for study in greater detail. Under the conditions employed in the present study, pheophorbide a was found to be the most effective sensitizer, as judged from its strong absorption at the excitation wavelength as compared with the hematoporphyrin derivative and greater singlet oxygen quantum yield relative to the phthalocyanines and naphthalocyanines. The photodynamic activity was observed to be strongly dependent on the photophysical parameters of the compounds. The primary mechanism underlying the photodynamic activity of these sensitizers probably consists of energy transfer from the lowest triplet state of the dyes to molecular oxygen, resulting in the formation of singlet oxygen (type II of photosensitization).     

冬麦春播条件下旗叶光合特性、叶绿素荧光参数变化及其与产量的关系

以长江中下游、西南麦区的5个优良冬播小麦品种为材料,在忻定盆地春播(早播、适播)条件下,于2013-2014年对开花期、灌浆期的旗叶光合指标、叶绿素含量及叶绿素荧光参数进行测定,并分析这些参数与产量的相关性.结果表明： 品种间大多荧光参数(除叶绿素外)差异显著,且相关性显著;叶绿素变异系数较小(0.12～0.17),吸收光能为基础的性能指数(PI_abs)变异系数较大(0.32～0.39),两参数与产量偏相关系数为0.70～0.81;早播条件下,籽粒产量与PI_abs(灌浆期、开花期)、灌浆期叶绿素呈显著正效应,与灌浆期旗叶在I点的相对可变荧光强度(V_i)呈显著负效应,且产量的81.1%～82.8% (2013、2014年)可由这3因素的变异决定;不同品种表现出不同的播期效应,且两年变化趋势基本一致：扬麦13(春性、中早熟)旗叶光合速率、叶绿素及绝大多数荧光参数和产量均显著高于其他品种,且适宜早播.早播条件下灌浆期旗叶叶绿素含量、PI_abs、光合速率可作为选择高光效小麦资源的重要评价指标.     

聚苯乙烯微塑料对黑藻生长及生理生化特征的影响

为探讨淡水环境中微塑料的污染对沉水植物产生的生理生化影响,选择典型沉水植物黑藻为供试材料,以粒径3 μm的聚苯乙烯微塑料颗粒(PS-MPs)为外源胁迫污染物,通过添加不同浓度的PS-MPs(5、10、30、50、100 mg·L^-1)设置不同暴露组及对照组,测定沉水植物的株高、生物量、叶绿素含量、抗氧化酶活性、光合荧光参数及荧光成像的变化特征。结果表明: 50～100 mg·L^-1PS-MPs下黑藻的株高显著下降;较低浓度下(如5 mg·L^-1)黑藻的鲜重显著升高,但随着PS-MPs暴露浓度进一步增加,黑藻鲜重降低,干重无显著变化。黑藻叶绿素总量、叶绿素a和叶绿素a/b均随PS-MPs浓度的增加呈显著下降趋势,叶绿素b无明显变化。PS-MPs处理下超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和过氧化物酶(POD)活性均随胁迫浓度的增加呈先上升后下降的趋势,叶绿素荧光参数(F_o、F_m、F_v/F_m)均呈下降趋势,而稳态下的PSⅡ反应中心关闭程度(1-Q_p-Lss)总体呈上升趋势,这可能与PS-MPs抑制黑藻PSⅡ反应中心有关。黑藻的荧光成像强度随PS-MPs浓度的增加而降低,在PS-MPs浓度为10 mg·L^-1及以下时,黑藻叶片表现出正常的光合活性;当PS-MPs为30 mg·L^-1及以上时,叶片边缘的光合强度小于茎秆及其周边,叶片呈现发黄、残叶等现象。推测黑藻基本能适应低浓度PS-MPs(0～30 mg·L^-1)的污染水域,而在PS-MPs高于30 mg·L^-1的污染水域中其生长和光合作用将受到抑制。     

锰胁迫对垂序商陆光合特性及叶绿素荧光参数的影响

垂序商陆(Phytolacca americana L.)是我国首次发现的锰超富集植物。通过温室营养液培养实验,研究垂序商陆锰耐性与光合特性及叶绿素荧光参数的关系。结果表明,随着生长介质中锰浓度的升高,垂序商陆叶片的叶绿素a、叶绿素b和总叶绿素含量下降,净光合速率(Pn)和气孔导度(Gs)呈下降趋势,而胞间CO2浓度(Ci)却逐渐升高;叶绿素a/b值和蒸腾速率(Tr)在1 000μmol.L-1锰供应水平时达到最大值;叶片PSⅡ的最大量子产量(Fv/Fm)、PSⅡ有效光化学量子产量(EQY)和光合电子传递速率(ETR)呈下降趋势,而光化学淬灭系数(qP)和光合有效辐射(PAR)高于239μmol photons.m-.2s-1下的非光化学淬灭系数(NPQ)在5 000μmol.L-1锰供应水平时达到最大值。因此,垂序商陆在锰胁迫下可能具有一定的光合保护机制。     

Apparent absence of viruses in most symptomless field-grown sweet potato in Uganda

Heat tolerance of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes was evaluated by solute leakage and chlorophyll fluorescence techniques in heat-hardened and non-hardened plants. To determine the appropriate hardening treatment, 1-month-old plants of two groundnut genotypes, ICGV 86707 and Chico were conditioned at five combinations of hardening (37°C) and non-hardening (30°C) air temperatures over a 5-day period. Heat injury, was assessed through measurements of electrolyte leakage after stressing leaf discs to 55°C for 15 min. The relative injury was significantly influenced by the conditioning temperatures and by the temperature during 24 h prior to measurement if those involved non-hardening conditions. Relative injury and chlorophyll fluorescence were measured after stressing leaves of six genotypes at a range of temperatures between 49°C and 55°C. Significant genotype × hardening treatment interactions were observed in relative injury and chlorophyll fluorescence. Chico was susceptible to heat stress, the relative injury test identified ICGV 86707 as tolerant, and the chlorophyll fluorescence test identified ICGV 86707 as tolerant under hardened conditions and ICGV 87358 as tolerant when non-hardened. When expressed as percentage of control values, the relative injury and chlorophyll fluorescence measurements over the 49–53°C stress temperature range were strongly correlated. Chlorophyll concentrations were increased by hardening in all genotypes except Chico. In Chico, chl_b concentration was decreased and the chl_a/b ratio increased by hardening, and chlorophyll concentrations were correlated with chlorophyll fluorescence parameters. Chlorophyll concentration may therefore provide an alternative means of screening for heat tolerance.

研究了不同Cu²⁺处理浓度(0、0.002、0.004、0.006、0.008 mmol.L^-1)对菱叶片叶绿素含量和叶绿素荧光参数、膜脂过氧化和抗氧化系统等的影响,并用透射电镜观察了其叶细胞超微结构的变化。试验结果表明:随着Cu²⁺浓度的增加:(1)叶绿素含量、Fv/Fo和Fv/Fm显著下降,Fo显著上升;(2)活性氧(AOS)产生速率、丙二醛(MDA)含量、过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)活性逐渐升高;超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、游离脯氨酸(Pro)和可溶性糖含量显著下降;抗坏血酸(AsA)、还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)和谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)含量呈先升后降趋势,且始终高于对照;(3)电镜观察发现,Cu²⁺对叶片细胞器的超微结构特别是叶绿体、线粒体和细胞核造成严重损伤。以上结果表明,本试验过量Cu²⁺的胁迫破坏了菱正常生理生化活动,并造成功能紊乱,最终导致菱的死亡。     

Excitation spectra and brightness optimization of two-photon excited probes

Two-photon probe excitation data are commonly presented as absorption cross section or molecular brightness (the detected fluorescence rate per molecule). We report two-photon molecular brightness spectra for a diverse set of organic and genetically encoded probes with an automated spectroscopic system based on fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. The two-photon action cross section can be extracted from molecular brightness measurements at low excitation intensities, while peak molecular brightness (the maximum molecular brightness with increasing excitation intensity) is measured at higher intensities at which probe photophysical effects become significant. The spectral shape of these two parameters was similar across all dye families tested. Peak molecular brightness spectra, which can be obtained rapidly and with reduced experimental complexity, can thus serve as a first-order approximation to cross-section spectra in determining optimal wavelengths for two-photon excitation, while providing additional information pertaining to probe photostability. The data shown should assist in probe choice and experimental design for multiphoton microscopy studies. Further, we show that, by the addition of a passive pulse splitter, nonlinear bleaching can be reduced--resulting in an enhancement of the fluorescence signal in fluorescence correlation spectroscopy by a factor of two. This increase in fluorescence signal, together with the observed resemblance of action cross section and peak brightness spectra, suggests higher-order photobleaching pathways for two-photon excitation.     

微量元素营养对桉树无性系苗木叶绿素及荧光参数影响

研究了不同微量元素营养液,对栽培的三种桉树无性系苗木叶绿素及荧光参数变化。结果表明:各无性系苗木在全部测试性状的差异表现出极显著。在六个测试的微量元素因子中,Fe(B)显著地影响苗木的Fo、Fm、Fv/Fo、Fv/Fm,Zn(C)显著地影响Fo、Fv/Fm,Mn(D)显著地影响叶绿素含量(SPAD值),Mo(F)显著地影响叶绿素含量、Fo,B(G)显著地影响叶绿素含量Fo、Fv/Fo、Fv/Fm。相关分析表明Fm与Fo、Fv/Fo与Fo、叶绿素含量与Fo、Fm、Fv/Fm与Fv/Fo均存在显著的相关性。随着微量元素Fe、Zn、Cu、Mo、B浓度增大,Fo、Fv/Fm均呈增大趋势,但在不利的高浓度环境下,Fv/Fm降低。对三个无性系叶绿素荧光比较,U₆与DH_32-29具有高的Fo、Fm和低的Fv/Fm、Fv/Fo,DH_201-2却具有低的Fo、Fm和高的Fv/Fm、Fv/Fo。对微量元素浓度变化,DH_32-29较敏感。因此,叶绿素荧光参数可作为诊断植物微量元素营养状况的指标之一。     

The arrangement of chloroplasts in cells influences the reabsorption of chlorophyll fluorescence emission. The effect of desiccation on the chlorophyll fluorescence spectra of Rhizomnium punctatum leaves

Chlorophyll fluorescence spectra measured with leaves are distorted by the effect of fluorescence reabsorption. A heterogeneous theoretical model simulating the effect of chloroplast arrangement in a cell on the distortion of chlorophyll fluorescence spectra due to reabsorption was formulated. Desiccation of leaves of the moss Rhizomnium punctatum was carried out as a simple model experiment. The parameters entering the model (maximal number of chloroplasts forming columns in a cell, chloroplast size and chlorophyll concentration in a chloroplast) were estimated by means of light microscopy and spectrophotometry. During the desiccation, a grouping of chloroplasts was observed by light microscopy and the chlorophyll fluorescence emission and excitation spectra of the leaves were measured at room temperature and at 77 K. The leaves were infiltrated with DCMU. The ratio F685/F735 of the main emission bands decreased by about 50% at room temperature and by about 30% at 77 K upon decreasing the leaf water content. No significant changes were found in the ratio E475/E436 of the bands of the leaf fluorescence excitation spectra at 77 K for both 685- and 735-nm emission wavelengths. The excitation spectra and mechanical dilution experiments indicated that no functional changes appeared upon desiccation at the level of energy transfer. Theoretical simulations were in a good agreement with the experimental dependencies. We were able to conclude that the grouping of chloroplasts in cells may enhance the effect of chlorophyll reabsorption and thereby cause a significant decrease of the F685/F735 ratio in the chlorophyll fluorescence spectrum.     

施氮和大气CO2浓度升高对小麦旗叶光合电子传递和分配的影响

采用开顶式气室盆栽培养小麦,设计2个大气CO2浓度(正常:400 μmol.mol-1;高:760 μmol·mol-1)、2个氮素水平(0和200 mg·kg-1土)的组合处理,通过测定小麦抽穗期旗叶氮素和叶绿素浓度、光合速率(Pn)-胞间CO2浓度(C1)响应曲线及荧光动力学参数,来测算小麦叶片光合电子传递速率等,研究了高大气CO2浓度下施氮对小麦旗叶光合能量分配的影响.结果表明:与正常大气CO2浓度相比,高大气CO2浓度下小麦叶片氮浓度和叶绿素浓度降低,高氮处理的小麦叶片叶绿素a/b升高.施氮后小麦叶片PSⅡ最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)、PSⅡ反应中心最大量子产额(Fv'/Fm')、PSⅡ反应中心的开放比例(qr)和PSⅡ反应中心实际光化学效率(φPSⅡ)在大气CO2浓度升高后无明显变化,虽然叶片非光化学猝灭系数(NPQ)显著降低,但PSⅡ总电子传递速率(JF)无明显增加;不施氮处理的Fv'/Fm'、φPSⅡ和NPQ在高大气CO2浓度下显著降低,尽管Fv/Fm和qp无明显变化,JF仍显著下降.施氮后小麦叶片JF增加,参与光化学反应的非环式电子流传递速率(Jc)明显升高.大气CO2浓度升高使参与光呼吸的非环式电子流传递速率(J0)、Rubisco氧化速率(V0)、光合电子的光呼吸/光化学传递速率比(J0/Jc)和Rubisco氧化/羧化比(V0/Vc)降低,但使Jc和Rubisco羧化速率(Vc)增加.因此,高大气CO2浓度下小麦叶片氮浓度和叶绿素浓度降低,而增施氮素使通过PSⅡ反应中心的电子流速率显著增加,促进了光合电子流向光化学方向的传递,使更多的电子进入Rubisco羧化过程,Pn显著升高.     

三种外源植物激素对黄花风铃木幼苗生物量、叶绿素荧光参数及光合特性的影响

以黄花风铃木(Tabebuia chrysantha (Jacq.) Nichols)幼苗为材料,采用L16(45)正交实验方法,测定生根粉(GGR)、3-吲哚乙酸(IAA)、多效唑(PP333) 3种外源植物激素不同组合处理下黄花风铃木幼苗的生物量、叶绿素含量、叶绿素荧光参数以及光合特性,研究3种外源植物激素不同组合对黄花风铃木幼苗生长和光合作用的影响,筛选出适宜黄花风铃木幼苗生长的最佳浓度组合。结果显示:11号处理(GGR 400 mg/L、IAA 400 mg/L、PP333400 mg/L)幼苗鲜重、干重均大于其他组合处理。3种外源植物激素中,GGR对幼苗鲜重、幼苗干重增长起主导作用,IAA和PP333的作用不明显。11号处理下的幼苗净光合速率、气孔导度、蒸腾速率、叶绿素含量、叶绿素荧光参数均大于其他处理,胞间二氧化碳浓度值最低。分析得出IAA对黄花风铃木幼苗的净光合速率、气孔导度、蒸腾速率、光合系统潜在活性、最大光能转换效率和叶绿素含量起主导作用,GGR和PP333的作用不明显。综合分析各指标得出,适宜黄花风铃木幼苗生长的最佳外源激素浓度组合为11号处理,此浓度下黄花风铃木幼苗综合质量最佳。     

向日葵对苯胺废水的光合生理响应及净化效果

为探讨向日葵对苯胺废水的耐受性及其应用于苯胺污染废水植物修复的可行性,采用水培试验方法,以美国油葵1号为材料,研究了不同苯胺浓度胁迫对向日葵光合和叶绿素荧光参数的影响,以及向日葵对苯胺的吸收、积累和净化效果。研究发现:100 mg/L的苯胺对向日葵的净光合速率(P_n)、气孔导度(L_s)和蒸腾速率(T_r)有显著的促进作用,而对生长与叶绿素荧光相关参数无显著的影响。当苯胺浓度升高到200—400 mg/L时,向日葵的鲜重、净光合速率(P_n)、实际光化学效率(Φ_(PSⅡ)),最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m)以及光化学淬灭系数(qP)比对照组显著降低,而胞间CO_2浓度(C_i)显著升高,NPQ呈现出先升高后降低的趋势,并在苯胺浓度为200 mg/L时达到最大值。综合分析表明,当苯胺浓度升高到200 mg/L到400 mg/L时,苯胺对向日葵的净光合速率的抑制以非气孔因素为主。当苯胺浓度为500 mg/L时,导致向日葵死亡。另外,向日葵对100 mg/L苯胺废水中苯胺的去除率最高,达到80.97%。苯胺主要在向日葵的地上部分积累,随着苯胺浓度的升高,向日葵中叶片苯胺的浓度逐渐升高,茎中的苯胺含量变化不显著,而根中的苯胺含量较低。     

不同水氮梯度下典型挺水植物叶绿素荧光的响应特性

叶绿素荧光测量分析可以揭示植物叶片光化学效率的变化,已越来越多地应用于植物生态监测。以再生水为主要补给水源的北京门城湖湿地公园为研究区,选取典型湿地挺水植物芦苇(Phragmites australis)、香蒲(Typha angustifolia)和茭白(Zizania latifolia)为研究对象,通过野外测量叶片尺度的叶绿素荧光参数和室内测定对应样点的水体总氮含量指标,研究了再生水补给条件下,不同水氮梯度植物叶绿素荧光的响应特性。结果表明,3种典型挺水植物的初始荧光(Fo)与最大荧光(Fm)随着水体总氮含量的增加呈现上升的趋势;PSII的量子效率(F_v/F_m)与实际量子效率(ΦPSII)受水氮含量的影响先升高,达到15–20 mg·L~(–1)区间时,则与之持平;光化学淬灭(qP)参数则呈现先升高后降低的变化趋势,而非光化学淬灭(NPQ)参数的变化没有明显的规律。当水氮含量为15–20 mg·L~(–1)时,光化学反应减弱,光合作用出现抑制。不同类型植物的荧光参数也有所不同,处于生长期(6月)植物的光合作用显著强于生长成熟期(9月)。     

毛白杨幼苗叶片生长及其光合参数和硼转运蛋白基因对高硼胁迫的响应

该研究采用毛白杨(Populus tomentosa)为试验材料,分析了温室条件下沙培幼苗对短期高硼胁迫(1、5、10 mmol/L硼酸)下的叶片生长、光合参数和硼转运蛋白的响应特征。结果显示:(1)与对照(0.05 mmol/L硼酸)相比,1 mmol/L硼酸处理导致毛白杨幼苗叶片叶绿素荧光参数上调,活性氧含量上升,树苗基部叶片出现少量黑色坏死斑;5 mmol/L硼酸胁迫下,叶片净光合速率、气孔导度和蒸腾速率下调,胞间二氧化碳浓度上升,叶绿素荧光参数和过氧化氢含量进一步上调,超氧阴离子含量较1 mmol/L硼酸胁迫时下调但仍然高于对照,除顶部叶片之外的其他叶片上出现大量坏死斑;10 mmol/L硼酸胁迫下,气体交换参数、叶绿素荧光参数和活性氧含量与5 mmol/L硼酸胁迫时相似,所有叶片均在平行于次级叶脉的方向出现呈带状分布的坏死斑。(2)毛白杨幼苗根和茎硼含量在硼胁迫条件下与对照相比变化幅度较小,而叶片硼含量在5 mmol/L和10 mmol/L硼酸胁迫下比对照显著上升,此时硼转移系数和生物富集系数均维持较高的水平。(3)硼转运蛋白(BOR)基因家族成员中PtoBOR4和PtoBOR8在根中的表达水平随着外界硼浓度的增加呈先上升后下降的趋势;在茎中,PtoBOR3基因下调表达,PtoBOR5上调表达;在叶片中,PtoBOR4表达先上升后下降,而PtoBOR7和PtoBOR8上调表达。研究表明,毛白杨幼苗叶片叶绿素荧光参数、活性氧、气体交换参数及硼转运蛋白基因家族表达对高硼胁迫较为敏感,硼胁迫症状在较短的时间内在叶片上以坏死斑的形式出现,可能与其较强的控制根系硼浓度的能力和向地上部分迅速运输硼的能力有关。     

典型城区与郊区环境大叶黄杨气体交换及叶绿素荧光特性比较

采用Li-6400便携式光合作用测定系统对夏秋季典型城区与郊区环境下大叶黄杨的气体交换和叶绿素荧光特性进行了现场实验比较研究.研究显示,叶片净光合速率的大小由总光合速率(光合能力)和呼吸速率共同决定,城区环境温度较高、相对湿度较低、大气CO2浓度较高, 不同月份城区和郊区样点大叶黄杨的净光合速率差异显著性存在不同.城区环境下大叶黄杨的胞间CO2浓度、叶面水气压亏缺、蒸腾速率高于郊区环境.城区环境中温度、大气CO2浓度等的变化会影响叶片呼吸作用,造成呼吸速率升高或是降低,城区环境中污染物浓度变化也会损伤叶片光合结构从而导致总光合能力降低,这两者都会引起净光合速率的变化.通过大叶黄杨叶片叶绿素荧光指标的进一步对比分析发现,城区大叶黄杨叶片叶绿素总量、叶绿素a/b、Fv/Fm、Fv/Fo、qP、ΦPSⅡ、ETR降低,但qN升高.表明叶片叶绿体PSⅡ的功能受到负面影响.城区大叶黄杨叶片荧光参数的变化,从微观机制上表明城区环境中污染物浓度的上升导致叶绿素及叶绿体光合结构受损的确是叶片光合能力下降的主要原因之一.
