东洞庭湖莲藕种植区土壤重金属污染及其对莲藕重金属含量的影响

通过对东洞庭湖莲藕种植区的野外调查, 揭示了土壤重金属污染的潜在生态风险及其对莲藕重金属含量的影响。土壤重金属镉(Cd)、铅(Pb)、铜(Cu)、锌(Zn)含量均高于洞庭湖背景值, 以Cd 污染最为严重, 潜在生态风险指数高, 属极重度生态风险级。莲藕干物质中重金属含量较高, 其中Cd、Pb 含量分别达到3.43 mg·kg^-1 和6.84 mg·kg^-1。不同种植区域之间, 莲藕重金属含量差异显著, 以君山区挂口镇的莲藕重金属含量最高。莲藕重金属含量的高低与土壤重金属含量呈显著正相关关系(P<0.01)。可见, 东洞庭湖莲藕种植区土壤重金属污染是导致莲藕重金属含量过高的直接原因, 建议在污染较重的区域, 减少莲藕种植, 开展土壤重金属污染治理, 引导莲藕产业健康发展。

莲藕多酚氧化酶同工酶的比较分析

采用垂直板聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳技术,对同一植株莲藕的不同部位、不同湖区野生莲藕以及不同品种的特定部位的多酚氧化酶(PPO)同工酶进行了分析。结果表明,同一植株莲藕不同部位PPO同工酶带有一定的特异性, 其主要表现在区带数目、迁移位置和区带染色深浅三方面;而不同湖区野生莲藕以及不同品种莲藕,处于同一生长周期、同一部位中的PPO同工酶遗传多样性则较低。

莲藕对金属污染物的吸收与富集

莲藕(Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn)有“出污泥而不染”的美誉。莲藕给人们突出的印象:生命力强,长势旺盛,能抵抗一般自然灾害,对土壤无过高要求,pH值在5.6—7.4之间,莲藕长势无差异。在低或高浓度SO2的污染环境中,莲藕生长发育均无影响1。       

花青素合成基因bz1和bz2在莲藕染色体上的定位

Bronze 1(bz1)是编码UDP葡萄糖类黄酮葡糖基转移酶(UFGT)的基因,UFGT是种子糊粉层中的花青素生物合成酶。Bronze 2(bz2)是另一种花青素生物合成基因,与类黄酮的酰化、糖基化、转运、沉积等有关。以生物素标记的重组质粒pUC19中含有玉米bz1和bz2基因作为探针,与莲藕(Nelumbo nucifera L．)的有丝分裂染色体标本进行荧光原位杂交(fluorescence in situ hybridization,FISH)。结果显示,bz1和bz2基因分别位于莲藕的第2和第4号染色体长臂上,与着丝粒的相对距离分别为79％和67％。这是首次提供莲藕染色体上的FISH杂交信息,从而为增加莲藕染色体组中的遗传标记和建立遗传图谱奠定基础。     

不同预冷方式对采后莲藕贮藏品质的影响

以青浦莲藕为主要对象,研究冷水预冷和冷库预冷两种方式对于莲藕贮藏保鲜的影响,考察其在保鲜柜（4±0.5）℃、15天的贮藏期间的失重率、色泽、硬度、可溶性固形物、相对电导率等的变化。结果表明：与未经预冷的莲藕样品相比,冷水和冷库预冷能够显著降低莲藕失重率、延缓莲藕表皮色泽变化、维持莲藕的可溶性固形物含量,然而冷库预冷对莲藕在贮藏后期的细胞膜造成损伤,从而降低莲藕品质,而冷水预冷能够保持莲藕硬度,由此表明冷水预冷对莲藕具有更好的保鲜效果。     

粉末X射线衍射图谱计算植物淀粉结晶度方法的探讨

植物淀粉有A-型、B-型和C-型3种晶体。以水稻(Oryza sativa)、马铃薯(Solanum tuberosum)、豌豆(Pisum sativum) 和莲藕(Nelumbo nucifera)淀粉为材料, 利用粉末X-射线衍射仪(XRD)调查了不同晶体类型淀粉的波谱特征, 探讨XRD波谱相对结晶度的计算方法。软件峰拟合法、软件曲线法、直线作图法和曲线作图法均可用于计算淀粉XRD波谱的相对结晶度, 以曲线作图法计算结果较为可靠。利用曲线作图法得出的结果表明, 稻米淀粉的结晶度与直链淀粉含量呈显著线性负相关, 酸解莲藕淀粉的结晶度与淀粉酸水解度呈显著线性正相关。酸水解使莲藕淀粉的C-型晶体转变为A-型晶体。上述研究结果为利用XRD分析植物淀粉晶体类型和计算相对结晶度提供了重要参考。

基于SSR标记的荷花品种遗传多样性及群体结构分析

采用SSR标记技术对42个荷花品种( Nelumbo spp.)的基因组DNA进行扩增,在此基础上,对供试品种进行UPGMA聚类分析、群体结构分析和主坐标分析( PCoA)。结果表明：采用17对SSR引物从42个荷花品种的基因组DNA中扩增出77个位点,多态性位点百分率为88.31%;每对引物可扩增出1~9个多态性位点。根据Nei's遗传距离,供试的42个荷花品种可被分成Ⅰ和Ⅱ两组,分别包含3和39个品种;在Nei's遗传距离0.150处,Ⅱ组被进一步分成Ⅱa、Ⅱb和Ⅱc 3个亚组,分别包含3、16和20个品种。群体结构分析结果表明：组分概率高于等于0.80时,供试的42个荷花品种被分成Pop1、Pop2和混合群3个亚群,分别包含17、16和9个品种。 PCoA分析结果表明：在F1水平上,供试的42个荷花品种被分成2个部分;其中,Pop1亚群的品种均分布在第二和第三象限,而Pop2亚群的品种则分布在第一和第四象限。总体来看,聚类分析、群体结构分析和PCoA分析的结果基本一致。综合分析结果表明：玉组包含美洲黄莲( N. lutea Pers.)品种‘艾江南',且与传统中国莲( N. nucifera Gaertn.)品种的亲缘关系最远,故认为该组为美洲黄莲;Ⅱ组为中国莲,其中,Ⅱc亚组以传统中国莲品种为主,而Ⅱb亚组则偏重于美洲黄莲。总体上看,供试的42个荷花品种主要被分为中国莲和美洲黄莲两组,而中美杂交莲并没有独立成组,其成因有待进一步研究。

Whole genome re‐sequencing reveals evolutionary patterns of sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera)

Sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera or lotus) is an important aquatic plant in horticulture and ecosystems. As a foundation for exploring genomic variation and evolution among different germplasms, we re‐sequenced 19 individuals from three cultivated temperate lotus subgroups (rhizome, seed and flower lotus), one wild temperate lotus subgroup (wild lotus), one tropical lotus group (Thai lotus) and an outgroup (Nelumbo lutea). Through genetic diversity and polymorphism analysis by non‐missing SNP sites widely distributed in the whole genome, we confirmed that wild and Thai lotus exhibited greater differentiation with a higher genomic diversity compared to cultivated lotus. Rhizome lotus had the lowest genomic diversity and a closer relationship to wild lotus, whereas the genomes of seed and flower lotus were admixed. Genes in energy metabolism process and plant immunity evolved rapidly in lotus, reflecting local adaptation. We established that candidate genes in genomic regions with significant differentiation associated with temperate and tropical lotus divergence always exhibited highly divergent expression pattern. Together, this study comprehensive and credible interpretates important patterns of genetic diversity and relationships, gene evolution, and genomic signature from ecotypic differentiation of sacred lotus.     

古莲子与现代莲子ABA含量和SOD活性的比较研究

本研究选用种龄为580±70年的古莲子──太子莲,和与之亲缘相近的种龄为8年的现代哈尔滨莲,对比测定其脱落酸的含量及超氧物歧化酶活性,以期探讨距今已有几百年种龄的古莲仍能保持其活力、萌发、开花的现象与这两项生理指标的关系。实验结果表明,两种莲子的皮（果皮和种皮）ABA含量均很高,太子莲和哈尔滨莲分别为4.18 μg/g, 5.69 μg/g。SOD活性在莲子吸胀期和幼苗期两种莲子的子叶中差异不明显,而在胚和幼芽中,太子莲比哈尔滨莲分别高出50%和27%。基于以上结果,说明其胚中具有较强的抗逆性物质,利于保持其生命力。莲皮中高含量的ABA及胚中高活性的SOD有利于莲子的休眠和增强其抗逆性,并保持胚的生命力。     

Extracting Lotus Fields Using the Spectral Characteristics of GF-1 Satellite Data

The lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) is an aquatic plant that grows in shallow water and has long been cultivated in South China. It can improve the incomes of farmers and plays an important role in alleviating poverty in rural China. However, a modern method is required to accurately estimate the area of lotus fields. Lotus has spectral characteristics similar to those of rice, grassland, and shrubs. The features surrounding areas where it is grown are complex, small, and fragmented. Few studies have examined the remote sensing extraction of lotus fields, and automatic extraction and mapping are still challenging methods. Here, we compared the spectral characteristics of lotus fields and other ground objects and devised a remote sensing method for the rapid extraction of lotus fields. Using this method, the extraction accuracy of lotus was 96.3%. The Kappa coefficient was 0.926, which is higher than those of the unsupervised K-means classification, Mahalanobis distance, and support vector machine supervised classification, and demonstrates the potential of this method for extracting and mapping lotus fields by remote sensing.     

Analyses of genetic relationships in Nelumbo nucifera using nuclear ribosomal ITS sequence data,ISSR and RAPD markers

Despite the economic importance of Nelumbo nucifera, there have been no molecular studies on genetic relationships among cultivars in the species. In the present study 38 accessions were sampled including 37 accessions of N. nucifera or hybrids between N. nucifera and Nelumbo lutea and a single accession of N. lutea. In the ITS analyses, Chinese and Japanese lotus comprise a single cluster with a moderate bootstrap support 68% indicating there is very high similarity between them. Moreover, these ISSR and RAPD results also indicate that there is very close genetic relationship between Chinese and Japanese lotus. In the ISSR and RAPD analyses, although 38 accessions all are distinctly separately into two groups, viz. N. nucifera and N. lutea, there is a high Jaccard similarity coefficient (0.785 and 0.656) between the two species. In N. nucifera the two different groups of the species, viz. flower lotus and rhizome lotus accessions show clear genetic variations. Seed lotus accessions do not form a distinct cluster but are interspersed among the flower accessions indicating that seed lotus is phylogenetically close to flower lotus and they might originate from close wild lotus in genetic relationship. In flower lotus, big-flower type accessions and medium-small type accessions have obvious genetic variation, indicating height is an important criterion in the classification system of flower lotus.     

莲的非可食用部分中生物碱分布

研究了莲的非可食用部分荷叶、莲子心、莲房、藕节、莲子壳和藕皮中生物碱的组分及含量。采用乙醇水溶液从非可食用部分提取生物碱,然后用高效液相色谱法进行测定。结果表明莲子心提取物中含有5种主要的生物碱,其中4种为莲心碱、异莲心碱、荷叶碱和甲基莲心碱。除莲子心外的其他部分的提取物组分较相似,都含有6～8种主要的生物碱。荷叶碱在荷叶中的含量最高,可达149.64μg/g;莲心碱、异莲心碱和甲基莲心碱在莲子心中的含量最高,分别为457.76、6155.85、1420.90μg/g。莲的六个非可食用部分中都含有5～8种主要的生物碱,有很好的开发利用价值。     

The anatomy of lotus fibers found in petioles of Nelumbo nucifera

Lotus fibers are the isolated helical secondary cell wall thickenings from tracheary elements of lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn) petioles. In this study the anatomical characteristics of lotus petioles and microstructures of tracheary elements were studied using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that vascular bundles of lotus petioles are scattered throughout ground tissue. Their tracheary elements are of various sizes and there are several patterns of secondary wall thickening present. However, only secondary thickening in a ribbon-like helical pattern can be drawn out from the petiole to form lotus fibers for subsequent utilization. Study of the microstructure of the tracheary elements reveals that there are two pit structures present in the end walls in addition to pits with intact pit membranes: those with porose or web-like remnants pit membrane and those that lack pit membranes. This is an indication of the transitional stage between tracheids and vessel elements. This study provides supportive evidence that lotus fibers are found in both helically thickened tracheids and helically thickened primitive vessels.

莲品种资源的SRAP遗传多样性分析

利用分子标记SRAP技术对国内广泛栽培以及新近育成的39个莲品种进行了DNA多态性分析。选取5对引物扩增基因组DNA,共获得101条带,其中88条为多态性条带,每对引物平均提供20个标记信息。由UPMGA方法得到的聚类分析结果表明了39个品种间的遗传关系,结果表明:花莲、籽莲和藕莲三大类群有明显的界限,花莲和籽莲的遗传距离较近,藕莲与它们的遗传距离较远。分子方差分析结果表明:莲品种间和品种内均存在遗传变异,藕莲品种内的遗传变异略低于品种间的遗传变异,而诱变籽莲、诱变花莲和常规籽莲品种内遗传变异均大于品种间的遗传变异,尤其是诱变籽莲、诱变花莲品种内遗传变异占总变异的分量分别超过了70%和60%,这种品种内的遗传变异,一方面对于莲的高产稳产具有重要的意义,另一方面也说明了从这些国内广泛栽培的品种以及新近育成的莲品种中可以直接进一步选育出更优良的新品种。
