盐分和水分胁迫对芦荟幼苗渗透调节和渗调物质积累的影响 总被引:31,自引:0,他引:31
用不同浓度NaCl和等渗聚乙二醇(PEG 6000)处理芦荟(Aloe vera L.)幼苗,10 d后测定叶片相对生长速率和厚度、叶片中主要有机溶质、无机离子含量及渗透调节能力.结果表明,-0.44、-0.88 MPa NaCl和PEG处理使芦荟叶片的相对生长速率和叶片厚度明显下降,且盐胁迫对幼苗生长的抑制和叶片含水量降低的效应明显高于等渗的水分胁迫,其叶片渗透调节能力随处理渗透势的降低而增加, -0.88 MPa PEG胁迫的芦荟幼苗的渗透调节能力高于等渗盐分胁迫.在主要渗透调节物质可溶性糖、有机酸、K 、Ca2 和Cl-中,-0.88 MPa PEG处理下含量比相同渗透势的NaCl处理下显著增加的是有机溶质,因此推断有机溶质含量高是PEG胁迫下渗透调节能力较强的主要因素. 相似文献

In order to discriminate between the ionic and osmotic components of salt stress, sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L. cv. Co 86032) calli were cultured on media containing NaCl or polyethylene glycol (PEG) 8000 that exerted the same osmotic
pressure (−0.7 MPa). PEG stress exposure for 15 days led to significant growth reduction and loss in water content than salt
stressed and control tissues. Osmotic adjustment (OA) was observed in callus tissues grown on salt, but was not evident in
callus grown on PEG. Oxidative damage to membranes, estimated in terms of accumulation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances-TBARS
and electrolytic leakage was significantly higher in both the stressed calli than the control however, the extent of damage
was more in the PEG stressed calli. The stressed callus tissues showed inhibition of ascorbate peroxidase activity, while
catalase activity was increased. These results indicate sensitivity of cells to PEG-mediated stress than salt stress and differences
in their OA to these two stress conditions. The sensitivity to the osmotic stress indicate that expression of the stress tolerance
response requires the coordinated action of different tissues in a plant and hence was not expressed at the cellular level. 相似文献

Effects of water stress at different stages of plant growth on leaf relative water content (RWC), osmotic potential (Ψos)
and changes in contents of chlorophyll, abscisic acid (ABA), zeatin riboside (t-ZR), ethylene and proline in six cultivars
of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were studied. Under water stress, Ψos and RWC were highest in cv. Contender and lowest
in cvs. IIHR-909 and Sel-2. The increase in contents of ABA and proline was marked in cv. Contender followed by cv. UPF-626.
Decrease in t-ZR and chlorophyll contents was prominent in cv. IIHR-909. Ethylene production surged in all the cultivars under
4- and 8-d stress and declined under 12-d stress.

Salt-tolerant selected cells of Shamouti orange (Citrus sinensis) and Sour orange (Citrus aurantium) grew considerably better than nonselected cells at any NaCl concentration tested up to 200 millimolar. Also, the growth response of each treatment was identical in the two species. However, the performance of cells of the two species under osmotic stress induced by polyethylene glycol (PEG), which is presumably a nonabsorbed osmoticum, was significantly different. The nonselected Shamouti cell lines were significantly more sensitive to osmotic stress than the selected cells. The salt adapted Shamouti cells were apparently also adapted to osmotic stress induced by PEG. In Sour orange, however, the selected lines had no advantage over the nonselected line in response to osmotic stress induced by PEG. This response was also similar quantitatively to the response of the selected salt-tolerant Shamouti cell line. It seems that the tolerance to salt in Shamouti, a partial salt excluder, involves an osmotic adaptation, whereas in Sour orange, a salt accumulator, such an adaptation apparently does not occur. PEG-induced osmotic stress causes an increase in the percent dry weight of salt-sensitive and salt-tolerant cells of both species. No such increase was found under salt stress. The size of control and stressed cells is not significantly different. 相似文献

Changes in leaf solute contents in response to saline (NaCl) and osmotic (polyethylene glycol, PEG, 6000) stresses were measured in three different salt tolerant cultivars of Lycopersicon esculentum (L.) Mill. (Pera, P-73 and Volgogradskij), and its wild relative L. pennellii (Correll) D'Arcy accession PE-47. Iso-osmotic stresses (–0. 5 MPa) of NaCl (140 mM) and PEG 6000 (150 g l-1) were applied to one-month old plants for 3 weeks. Decreasing leaf dry weight was similar in L. pennellii or L. esculentum cv. P-73 and Volgogradskij under both stresses, while leaf dry weight of L. esculentum cv. Pera decreased more under PEG stress than under NaCl stress. Water contents decreased in all the PEG treated populations, while their calculated solute potential (Ψs increased. Under osmotic stress, the total ion contents decreased in relation to control, whereas organic solutes (sugars, amino acids and organic acids) markedly increased in both tomato species, specially in the tomato cultivars, where these solutes represented 50% of the Ψ5 calculated. Soluble sugar increase was three times higher in leaves of L. esculentum than in the leaves of L. pennellii. Free proline increased under both stresses and its content was highest in L. esculentum and in L. pennellii, respectively, under NaCl and PEG stresses. Nevertheless, the contribution of this metabolite to Ψs did not exceed 5%, irrespective of treatment and species. The greater organic solute accumulation in L. esculentum than in L. pennellii– which was not reflected in their Ψ5 values – was not correlated with the tolerances of the two species to osmotic stress. Therefore, osmotic adjustment may not be the only process influencing salt and drought tolerances in tomato; the ability of plants to regulate their metabolic and physiological functions could also play an important role under these harmful conditions. The possible roles of inorganic solutes and metabolites in osmotic adjustment, energetic metabolism and redox regulation are discussed 相似文献

Germinated seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum L. (fenugreek) were grown in water or in polyethylene glycol (PEG) solutions. After endosperm removal, the water relations, growth, dry weight, sucrose and reducing sugar content of the embryo were determined. Under water sstress conditions, water content and osmotic potential (π0 ) at saturation, growth and dry weight were lower than in non-stressed controls. The reduction in dry weight indicated a lower uptake of solutes from the endosperm and the decrease in π0 was not accompanied by an increase in the amount of the accumulated solutes. It is suggested that embryos of stressed fenugreek seeds control osmotic potential by reduction of water uptake and that this results in reduction of growth. Embryos isolated from germinated seeds ("naked" embryos) were grown in water or in PEG solutions, with or without galactose (as an external solute source substituting for the endosperm). The results indicate that a decrease in the external solute did not account for growth reduction under conditions of water stress, and that decreased solute transport to the embryo may be important. The sucrose contents of "naked" embryos and of embryos from whole seeds were higher after PEG treatment, while reducing sugar contents were lower compared to non-stressed controls. The increased sucrose accumulation may be due to decreased sucrose hydrolysis. 相似文献

The biocontrol potential of Pochonia chlamydosporia, a fungus with parasitic activity against economically important plant-parasitic nematodes, can be influenced by abiotic factors such as water availability. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different water stress regimes on in vitro growth, sporulation, germination and parasitism of P. chlamydosporia isolates. The osmotic water potential of 1.7% corn meal agar (CMA) was modified by addition of potassium chloride (KCl) or glycerol, and the matric water potential was modified using polyethylene glycol (PEG 8000). The fungus was able to grow over a range of potentials but radial growth rates decreased with the increase of osmotic and matric stress. No growth was observed at −10 MPa on 1.7% CMA amended with glycerol and at −7.1 MPa on medium with PEG 8000 but all isolates were able to resume growth when transferred onto unmodified 1.7% CMA. The production of chlamydospores was repressed in both osmotic and matric modified media. Although the production of conidia increased in medium modified with KCl, the germination rate was lower. Spores/hyphal fragments remained viable in all isolates that were previously inoculated onto media with growth-limiting water potential (−10 MPa on 1.7% CMA amended with glycerol and −10 MPa on medium with PEG 8000). The percentage of viable conidia produced on 1.7% CMA, after inoculation under osmotic or matric stress conditions for 25 days, was over 74.5% in all isolates (osmotic stress) and ranged from 1% (Pc1) to 65.8% (Pc280) (matric stress). The in vitro infection of potato cyst nematodes, Globodera rostochiensis eggs by P. chlamydosporia isolates, grown under these limiting conditions, was studied using a standard bioassay. The percentage of parasitized eggs was significantly higher under osmotic stress except for isolates Pc2 and Pc3. P. chlamydosporia spores/hyphal fragments can remain viable at water potentials limiting for growth, for prolonged periods of time, suggesting that the osmoregulation mechanisms, used to compensate water stress, affect in vitro sporulation and increased pathogenicity. Knowledge on water requirements of P. chlamydosporia enables a better understanding of its survival and growth strategies in the soil environment and could aid the development of effective strategies to increase the production and quality of inoculum, thus contributing to the implementation of biosafe, sustainable management strategies against plant-parasitic nematodes. 相似文献

One-month old calli of two indica rice genotypes, i.e., Basmati-370 and Basmati-Kashmir were subjected to two iso-osmotic
concentrations (−0.57 MPa and −0.74 MPa) created with 50 and 100 mol m−3 NaCl or 10 and 18% solutions of PEG-8000. Both genotypes tolerated only low levels of stress and showed severe growth suppression
at −0.74 MPa. The degree of stress tolerance of both genotypes was greater for PEG induced stress than for NaCl induced stress.
The relative growth rate of callus was reduced under both stresses, however, the reverse was true for callus dry weight. Sodium
(Na+) content of the callus tissue was increased only under NaCl induced stress. Salt induced stress reduced K+ and Ca2+ contents, but the PEG induced stress increased them. Higher levels of stress increased the proline content many folds with
more increase being under PEG stress than that under NaCl. Water and osmotic potentials of the callus tissue decreased, whereas
turgor potential increased under both abiotic stresses. Overall, Basmati-370 was more tolerant to both NaCl and PEG induced
stresses than Basmati-Kashmir, because of less reduction in growth and more dry weight. Moreover, Basmati-370 accumulated
higher amounts of cations, free proline, and maintained maximum turgor as compared to Basmati-Kashmir. In conclusion, at cellular
level, mechanism of NaCl induced osmotic stress tolerance was found to be associated with more ionic accumulation of inorganic
solutes and that of PEG induced osmotic stress tolerance with the accumulation of free proline, as an important osmolyte in
the cytosol. 相似文献

Summary Callus growth from 10 cultivars ofSorghum bicolor (L.) Moench was measured with increasing levels of polyethylene glycol (PEG) as an osmoticum in the medium to determine whether
differences among these cultivars at the cellular level in response to osmotic stress existed. These cellular ratings were
compared to field ratings from the 10 tolerant-to-susceptible cultivars when grown under drought conditions to determine whether
cellular ratings corresponded to differences in drought tolerance at the plant level. Callus cultures were grown on Murashige
and Skoog inorganic salt formulation plus vitamins, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), kinetin and sucrose, supplemented
with 0 to 25% (wt/vol) PEG corresponding to −0.2 to −1.62 MPa osmotic potential. Results suggest that PEG-induced osmotic
stress on callus cultures can be used to screen sorghum cultivars for potential early field (preflowering) drought tolerance.
This implies that at least a component of the early field drought tolerance in sorghum may have a cellular basis.

RNA gel hybridization showed that the expression of monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) in the wild type (WT) tomato was
decreased firstly and then increased under salt- and polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced osmotic stress, and the maximum level
was observed after treatment for 12 h. WT, sense transgenic and antisense transgenic tomato plants were used to analyze the
antioxidative ability to cope with osmotic stresses. After salt stress, the fresh mass (FM) and height of sense transgenic
lines were greater than those of antisense lines and WT plants. Under salt and PEG treatments, sense transgenic plants showed
a lower level of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA), a higher net photosynthetic rate (P
N), and the maximal photochemical efficiency of PSII (Fv/Fm) compared with WT and antisense transgenic plants. Moreover, sense lines maintained higher ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity
than WT and antisense plants under salt- and PEG-induced osmotic stress. These results indicate that chloroplastic MDHAR plays
an important role in alleviating photoinhibition of PSII by elevating ascorbate (AsA) level under salt- and PEG-induced osmotic
stress. 相似文献

In order to discriminate between the ionic and osmotic components of salt stress, sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L. cv. Co 86032) plants were treated with salt-NaCl or polyethylene glycol-PEG 8000 solutions (?0.7 MPa) for 15 days. Both the salt and PEG treatments significantly reduced leaf width, number of green leaves, and chlorophyll stability index. Osmotic adjustment (OA) indicated that both the stresses led to significant accumulation of osmolytes and sugars. Salt stressed plants appeared to use salt as an osmoticum while the PEG stressed plants showed an accumulation of sugars. Oxidative damage to membranes was not severe in plants subjected to salt or PEG stress. The salt stressed plants showed an increase in the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), while PEG stress led to an increase in SOD but not APX activity as compared to the control. Thus, results indicate that the iso-osmotic salt or PEG stress led to differential responses in plants especially with respect to growth, OA, and antioxidant enzyme activities. 相似文献

We designed two experiments to investigate the osmotic stress and ion-specific effects on xylem abscisic acid (ABA) and the relevance to salinity tolerance in one-year-old seedlings of Populus euphratica Oliv. (a salt-resistant genotype) and one-year-old rooted cuttings of P. 'popularis 35-44' (P. popularis) (a salt-sensitive genotype). Net photosynthetic rates (Pn) and unit transpiration rates (TRN) of the two genotypes were significantly decreased upon osmotic shock caused by PEG 6000 (osmotic potential = -0.24 MPa) or iso-NaCl (50 mM). Shoot xylem ABA concentrations in both genotypes increased rapidly after the onset of PEG stress, resulting from a decreased water flow. NaCl-treated trees of P. euphratica maintained considerably greater concentrations of ABA than PEG-treated plants in a longer term, whereas salinized P. popularis exhibited a transient accumulation of ABA in the shoot. TRN was greatly enhanced in both genotypes when pressure (0.24 MPa) was applied to counteract the osmotic suction of 50 mM NaCl. Pressurizing of root systems diluted solutes in the root xylem, but the dilution effect was more pronounced in P. popularis. Root xylem ABA concentrations in P. euphratica steadily increased with salt stress although pressurization lowered its levels. In contrast, there were no observed changes in ABA response to salinity in pressured P. popularis. Therefore, we concluded that the salt-tolerant P. euphratica had a greater capacity to synthesize ABA under saline conditions, which may partially result from specific salt effects. In addition, P. euphratica exhibited a higher capacity for salt (Na+ and Cl-) transport control under salt stress, compared with P. popularis. The possible association between ABA and salt transport limitation, and the relevance to salinity tolerance were discussed. 相似文献

Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins are associated with tolerance to water-related stress. A wheat (Triticum durum) group 2 LEA proteins, known also as dehydrin (DHN-5), has been previously shown to be induced by salt and abscisic acid
(ABA). In this report, we analyze the effect of ectopic expression of Dhn-5 cDNA in Arabidopsis thaliana plants and their response to salt and osmotic stress. When compared to wild type plants, the Dhn-5 transgenic plants exhibited stronger growth under high concentrations of NaCl or under water deprivation, and showed a faster
recovery from mannitol treatment. Leaf area and seed germination rate decreased much more in wild type than in transgenic
plants subjected to salt stress. Moreover, the water potential was more negative in transgenic than in wild type plants. In
addition, the transgenic plants have higher proline contents and lower water loss rate under water stress. Also, Na+ and K+ accumulate to higher contents in the leaves of the transgenic plants. Our data strongly support the hypothesis that Dhn-5, by its protective role, contributes to an improved tolerance to salt and drought stress through osmotic adjustment. 相似文献

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) were grown in a greenhouse with roots divided between sand irrigated with nutrient solution (–0.097 MPa) or nutrient solution containing polyethylene glycol (PEG) (–0.570 MPa) to compare the effect of unequal root zone stress on plant water relations of a C4 (sorghum) and a C3 (sunflower) plant. Roots also were divided between two pots of sand irrigated only with nutrient solution (controls) or only with PEG in nutrient solution. In addition to plant water-status measurements, photosynthetic rate, growth (height, root, and shoot dry weights), and evolution of ethylene (a gaseous hormone indicative of stress) were measured. Under all three split-root treatments, sunflower had a lower leaf water potential and produced more ethylene than sorghum. Sunflower was able to survive the PEG stress if half of its root system was under nonstressed conditions. Sunflower with half its root system irrigated with PEG usually had values of leaf water potential, osmotic potential, stomatal resistance, transpiration rate, photosynthetic rate, ethylene evolution, height, and dry weights that were close to those of the control plants. Sunflower with all roots exposed to PEG was wilted severely. Sorghum was little affected by PEG stress applied either to half or all the root system. Growth of sorghum was the same under all treatments. Apparently because stomata of sorghum were more closed in the partial stress test than those of sunflower, sorghum conserved water and had a higher leaf water potential, which might have permitted growth with stress. 相似文献

A non-plasmolysing moisture stress effected by polyethyleneglycol (PEG) was beneficial when applied to maturing white spruce(Picea glauca) somatic embryos for the following reasons. Anosmotic treatment of 5.07.5% PEG stimulated a threefoldincrease in the maturation frequency. The osmotically treatedsomatic embryos displayed higher dry weights and lower moisturecontents than the controls, indicating a greater accumulationof storage reserves. Moisture contents of mature, osmotically-treated,hydrated somatic embryos were 4045%, in contrast to 57%for the non-osmotically treated controls. Desiccation was achievedby placing the somatic embryos in a range of relative-humidityenvironments. No clear trend for the effect of PEG on survivalof desiccated somatic embryos was observed; mean survival valuesranged from 34 to 62% when somatic embryos from all osmotictreatments were desiccated for 14 d at 81% relative humidity.Following this desiccation treatment, somatic embryos from allosmotic concentrations had moisture contents of 2631%,similar to the 32% recorded for unimbibed zygotic embryos. Afterimbibition, moisture contents for these zygotic and somaticembryos were in the order of 60%. Somatic embryos matured withPEG remained quiescent during desiccation due to their low initialmoisture contents, and gave rise to plantlets of normal appearance.Gradual desiccation of the somatic embryos directly followingmaturation with abscisic acid (ABA) was crucial to survivalduring desiccation. A plasmolysing water stress effected bysucrose at osmotic potentials similar to PEG was detrimentalto somatic embryo maturation, thereby emphasizing the importanceof the choice of osmoticum.

Carbendazim (methyl-2-benzimidazole carbamate) promoted root growth of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) seedlings subjected to polyethylene glycol (PEG, osmotic potential −0.5 MPa) induced water stress. The relative water
content, membrane stability index, 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride reduction and contents of some osmolytes (proline,
sucrose, glucose and fructose) enhanced significantly while the contents of lipid peroxides and hydrogen peroxide diminished
effectively by addition of 0.05 % carbendazim into PEG solution.

A field experiment was conducted with a non-irrigated waterstress treatment and an irrigated control using four sorghum(Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) cultivars. We investigated the effectsof water deficits on leaf water relations, osmotic adjustment,stomatal conductance, cuticular conductance, cell membrane stability(CMS) measured by the polyethylene glycol (PEG) test, epicuticularwax load (EWL), cytoplasmic lipid content, solute concentrationin cell sap, and growth. Osmotic adjustment was observed under water deficit conditions.Lower osmotic potential enabled plants to maintain turgor anddecreased the sensitivity of turgor-dependent processes. Sugarand K were identified as the major solutes contributing to osmoticpotential in sorghum. Sugar and K concentrations in cell sapincreased by 37·4% and 27%, respectively, under waterdeficit conditions in favour of decreasing osmotic potential.Stomatal conductance and cuticular conductance were lower inthe non-irrigated plants. A wide range in CMS among four cultivarswas observed. CMS increased with increasing water deficits.EWL increased on leaves of water deficient plants and was positivelycorrelated with cuticular conductance and CMS. Membrane phospholipidcontent increased in water-stressed plants. CMS as measured by the PEG test, was influenced by EWL, cuticularthickness, and osmotic concentration of leaf tissues. The cultivarswhich maintained higher CMS, higher EWL, lower cuticular conductance,higher turgor and higher osmotic adjustment under water deficitconditions were identified as drought tolerant.
