The photosynthetic response of trees to rising CO2 concentrations largely depends on source-sink relations, in addition to differences in responsiveness by species, genotype, and functional group. Previous studies on elevated CO2 responses in trees have either doubled the gas concentration (>700 μmol mol−1) or used single large addition of CO2 (500-600 μmol mol−1). In this study, Gmelina arborea, a fast growing tropical deciduous tree species, was selected to determine the photosynthetic efficiency, growth response and overall source-sink relations under near elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration (460 μmol mol−1). Net photosynthetic rate of Gmelina was ∼30% higher in plants grown in elevated CO2 compared with ambient CO2-grown plants. The elevated CO2 concentration also had significant effect on photochemical and biochemical capacities evidenced by changes in FV/FM, ABS/CSm, ET0/CSm and RuBPcase activity. The study also revealed that elevated CO2 conditions significantly increased absolute growth rate, above ground biomass and carbon sequestration potential in Gmelina which sequestered ∼2100 g tree−1 carbon after 120 days of treatment when compared to ambient CO2-grown plants. Our data indicate that young Gmelina could accumulate significant biomass and escape acclimatory down-regulation of photosynthesis due to high source-sink capacity even with an increase of 100 μmol mol−1 CO2. 相似文献

Lolium perenne and Trifolium repens were grown in a Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) system at elevated (600 μimol mol-1) and ambient (340 μmol mol-1) carbon dioxide concentrations during a whole growing season. Using a root ingrowth bag technique the extent to which CO2 enrichment influenced the growth of L, perenne and T. repens roots under two contrasting nutrient regimes was examined. Root ingrowth bags were inserted for a fixed time into the soil in order to trap roots. It was also possible to follow the mortality of roots in bags inserted for different time intervals. Root ingrowth of both L. perenne and T. repens increased under elevated CO2 conditions. In L. perenne, root ingrowth decreased with increasing nutrient fertilizer level, but for T. repens the root ingrowth was not affected by the nutrient application rate. Besides biomass measurements, root length estimates were made for T, repens. These showed an increase under elevated CO2 concentrations. Root decomposition appeared to decrease under elevated CO2 concentrations. A possible explanation for this effect is the observed changes in tissue composition, such as the increase in the carbon: nitrogen ratio in roots of L. perenne at elevated CO2 concentrations. 相似文献

Changes in the concentrations of phytochemical compounds usually occur when plants are grown under elevated atmospheric CO2. CO2-induced changes in foliar chemistry tend to reduce leaf quality and may further affect insect herbivores. Increased atmospheric CO2 also has a potential influence on decomposition because it causes variations in chemical components of plant tissues. To investigate the effects of increased atmospheric CO2 on the nutritional contents of tree tissues and the activities of leaf-chewing forest insects, samples of Populus pseudo-simonii [Kitag.] grown in open-top chambers under ambient and elevated CO2 (650 μmol mol-1) conditions were collected for measuring concentrations of carbon, nitrogen, C : N ratio, soluble sugar and starch in leaves, barks, coarse roots (>2 mm in diameter) and fine roots (<2 mm in diameter). Gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) larvae were reared on a single branch of experimental trees in a nylon bag with 1 mm 1 mm grid. The response of larval growth was observed in situ. Elevated CO2 resulted in significant reduction in nitrogen concentration and increase in C : N ratio of all poplar tissues. In all tissues, total carbon contents were not affected by CO2 treatments. Soluble sugar and nonstructural carbohydrate (TNC) in the poplar leaves significantly increased with CO2 enrichment, whereas starch concentration increased only on partial sampling dates. Carbohydrate concentration in roots and barks was generally not affected by elevated CO2, whereas soluble sugar contents in fine roots decreased in response to elevated CO2. When second instar gypsy moth larvae consuming poplars grew under elevated CO2 for the first 13 days, their body weight was 30.95% lower than that of larvae grown at ambient CO2, but no significant difference was found when larvae were fed in the same treatment for the next 11 days. Elevated atmospheric CO2 had adverse effects on the nutritional quality of Populus pseudo-simonii [Kitag.] tissues and the resultant variations in foliar chemical components had a significant but negative effect on the growth of early instar gypsy moth larvae. 相似文献

Background and Aims
Masting, i.e. synchronous but highly variable interannual seed production, is a strong sink for carbon and nutrients. It may, therefore, compete with vegetative growth. It is currently unknown whether increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations will affect the carbon balance (or that of other nutrients) between reproduction and vegetative growth of forest species. In this study, reproduction and vegetative growth of shoots of mature beech (Fagus sylvatica) trees grown at ambient and elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations were quantified. It was hypothesized that within a shoot, fruiting has a negative effect on vegetative growth, and that this effect is ameliorated at increased CO2 concentrations.Methods
Reproduction and its competition with leaf and shoot production were examined during two masting events (in 2007 and 2009) in F. sylvatica trees that had been exposed to either ambient or elevated CO2 concentrations (530 µmol mol−1) for eight consecutive years, between 2000 and 2008.Key Results
The number of leaves per shoot and the length of terminal shoots was smaller or shorter in the two masting years compared with the one non-masting year (2008) investigated, but they were unaffected by elevated CO2 concentrations. The dry mass of terminal shoots was approx. 2-fold lower in the masting year (2007) than in the non-masting year in trees growing at ambient CO2 concentrations, but this decline was not observed in trees exposed to elevated CO2 concentrations. In both the CO2 treatments, fruiting significantly decreased nitrogen concentration by 25 % in leaves and xylem tissue of 1- to 3-year-old branches in 2009.Conclusions
Our findings indicate that there is competition for resources between reproduction and shoot growth. Elevated CO2 concentrations reduced this competition, indicating effects on the balance of resource allocation between reproduction and vegetative growth in shoots with rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations. 相似文献5.

Nutrients such as phosphorus may exert a major control over plant response to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration (CO2), which is projected to double by the end of the 21st century. Elevated CO2 may overcome the diffusional limitations to photosynthesis posed by stomata and mesophyll and alter the photo-biochemical limitations resulting from phosphorus deficiency. To evaluate these ideas, cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) was grown in controlled environment growth chambers with three levels of phosphate (Pi) supply (0.2, 0.05 and 0.01 mM) and two levels of CO2 concentration (ambient 400 and elevated 800 μmol mol−1) under optimum temperature and irrigation. Phosphate deficiency drastically inhibited photosynthetic characteristics and decreased cotton growth for both CO2 treatments. Under Pi stress, an apparent limitation to the photosynthetic potential was evident by CO2 diffusion through stomata and mesophyll, impairment of photosystem functioning and inhibition of biochemical process including the carboxylation efficiency of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxyganase and the rate of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate regeneration. The diffusional limitation posed by mesophyll was up to 58% greater than the limitation due to stomatal conductance (gs) under Pi stress. As expected, elevated CO2 reduced these diffusional limitations to photosynthesis across Pi levels; however, it failed to reduce the photo-biochemical limitations to photosynthesis in phosphorus deficient plants. Acclimation/down regulation of photosynthetic capacity was evident under elevated CO2 across Pi treatments. Despite a decrease in phosphorus, nitrogen and chlorophyll concentrations in leaf tissue and reduced stomatal conductance at elevated CO2, the rate of photosynthesis per unit leaf area when measured at the growth CO2 concentration tended to be higher for all except the lowest Pi treatment. Nevertheless, plant biomass increased at elevated CO2 across Pi nutrition with taller plants, increased leaf number and larger leaf area. 相似文献

Elevated CO2 reduces the drought effect on nitrogen metabolism in barley plants during drought and subsequent recovery 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The objective of this study was to determine the response of nitrogen metabolism to drought and recovery upon rewatering in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) plants under ambient (350 μmol mol−1) and elevated (700 μmol mol−1) CO2 conditions. Barley plants of the cv. Iranis were subjected to drought stress for 9, 13, or 16 days. The effects of drought under each CO2 condition were analysed at the end of each drought period, and recovery was analysed 3 days after rewatering 13-day droughted plants. Soil and plant water status, protein content, maximum (NRmax) and actual (NRact) nitrate reductase, glutamine synthetase (GS), and aminant (NADH-GDH) and deaminant (NAD-GDH) glutamate dehydrogenase activities were analysed. Elevated CO2 concentration led to reduced water consumption, delayed onset of drought stress, and improved plant water status. Moreover, in irrigated plants, elevated CO2 produced marked changes in plant nitrogen metabolism. Nitrate reduction and ammonia assimilation were higher at elevated than at ambient CO2, which in turn yielded higher protein content. Droughted plants showed changes in water status and in foliar nitrogen metabolism. Leaf water potential (Ψw) and nitrogen assimilation rates decreased after the onset of water deprivation. NRact and NRmax activity declined rapidly in response to drought. Similarly, drought decreased GS whereas NAD-GDH rose. Moreover, protein content fell dramatically in parallel with decreased leaf Ψw. In contrast, elevated CO2 reduced the water stress effect on both nitrate reduction and ammonia assimilation coincident with a less-steep decrease in Ψw. On the other hand, Ψw practically reached control levels after 3 days of rewatering. In parallel with the recovery of plant water status, nitrogen metabolism was also restored. Thus, both NRact and NRmax activities were restored to about 75-90% of control levels when water supply was restored; the GS activity reached 80-90% of control values; and GDH activities and protein content were similar to those of control plants. The recovery was always faster and slightly higher in plants grown under elevated CO2 conditions compared to those grown in ambient CO2, but midday Ψw dropped to similar values under both CO2 conditions. The results suggest that elevated CO2 improves nitrogen metabolism in droughted plants by maintaining better water status and enhanced photosynthesis performance, allowing superior nitrate reduction and ammonia assimilation. Ultimately, elevated CO2 mitigates many of the effects of drought on nitrogen metabolism and allows more rapid recovery following water stress. 相似文献

Background and Aims Plants growing under elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations often have reduced stomatal conductance and subsequently increased leaf temperature. This study therefore tested the hypothesis that under long-term elevated CO2 the temperature optima of photosynthetic processes will shift towards higher temperatures and the thermostability of the photosynthetic apparatus will increase.Methods The hypothesis was tested for saplings of broadleaved Fagus sylvatica and coniferous Picea abies exposed for 4–5 years to either ambient (AC; 385 µmol mol−1) or elevated (EC; 700 µmol mol−1) CO2 concentrations. Temperature response curves of photosynthetic processes were determined by gas-exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence techniques.Key Results Initial assumptions of reduced light-saturated stomatal conductance and increased leaf temperatures for EC plants were confirmed. Temperature response curves revealed stimulation of light-saturated rates of CO2 assimilation (Amax) and a decline in photorespiration (RL) as a result of EC within a wide temperature range. However, these effects were negligible or reduced at low and high temperatures. Higher temperature optima (Topt) of Amax, Rubisco carboxylation rates (VCmax) and RL were found for EC saplings compared with AC saplings. However, the shifts in Topt of Amax were instantaneous, and disappeared when measured at identical CO2 concentrations. Higher values of Topt at elevated CO2 were attributed particularly to reduced photorespiration and prevailing limitation of photosynthesis by ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) regeneration. Temperature response curves of fluorescence parameters suggested a negligible effect of EC on enhancement of thermostability of photosystem II photochemistry.Conclusions Elevated CO2 instantaneously increases temperature optima of Amax due to reduced photorespiration and limitation of photosynthesis by RuBP regeneration. However, this increase disappears when plants are exposed to identical CO2 concentrations. In addition, increased heat-stress tolerance of primary photochemistry in plants grown at elevated CO2 is unlikely. The hypothesis that long-term cultivation at elevated CO2 leads to acclimation of photosynthesis to higher temperatures is therefore rejected. Nevertheless, incorporating acclimation mechanisms into models simulating carbon flux between the atmosphere and vegetation is necessary. 相似文献

New tetradentate ligands 2-(2-mercaptoethylthio)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)acetamide H2L1 and 2-chloro-2-(2-mercaptoethylthio)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)acetamide H2L2 were synthesised from the reaction of 2-aminomethanepyridine with 1,4-dithian-2-one and 3-chloro-1,4-dithian-2-one, respectively. Monomeric complexes of these ligands, of general formulae K[CrIII(Ln)Cl2], K2[MnII(Ln)Cl2] and [M(Ln)] (M = Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) or Hg(II); n = 1, 2) are reported. The mode of bonding and overall geometry of the complexes were determined through IR, UV-Vis, NMR and mass spectral studies, magnetic moment measurements, elemental analysis, metal content and conductance. These studies revealed octahedral geometries for the Cr(III), Mn(II) complexes, square planar for Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes and tetrahedral for the Fe(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) complexes. The study of complex formation via molar ratio in DMF solution has been investigated and results were consistent to those found in the solid complexes with a ratio of (M:L) as (1:1). 相似文献

The influence of sulphur on the accumulation and metabolism of arsenic in rice was investigated. Rice seedlings were grown in nutrient solutions with low sulphate (1.8 μM SO42−) or high sulphate (0.7 mM SO42−) for 12 or 14 d, before being exposed to 10 μM arsenite or arsenate for 2 or 1 d, respectively. In the arsenite exposure treatment, low sulphate-pretreated rice accumulated less arsenite than high sulphate pretreated plants, but the arsenite concentrations in shoots of low sulphate pretreated rice were higher than those of high sulphate pretreated. In the arsenate exposure treatment, the low sulphate pre-treatments also resulted in less arsenite accumulation in rice roots. Sulphur deprivation in nutrient solution decreased the concentrations of non-protein thiols in rice roots exposed to either arsenite or arsenate. The low sulphate-pretreated plants had a higher arsenic transfer factor than the high sulphate-pretreated plants. The results suggest that rice sulphate nutrition plays an important role in regulating arsenic translocation from roots to shoots, possibly through the complexation of arsenite-phytochelatins. 相似文献

We investigated the effects of increased atmospheric CO2 on the biomass, photosynthesis, protein and phenolic concentrations and content of Plantago maritima and Armeria maritima. This enabled us to test the protein competition model (PCM) for predicting C allocation to phenolics. Three contrasting responses to elevated CO2 (600 μmol CO2 mol−1) between the two study species were observed. (1) In P. maritima, plant biomass increased and the maximum carboxylation rate of Rubisco (Vc,max) was decreased. However, in A. maritima, shoot biomass decreased and the Vc,max of Rubisco was unchanged. (2) The total phenolic content increased in P. maritima but decreased in A. maritima. (3) Protein concentrations and content decreased in P. maritima and root protein concentrations and content increased in A. maritima. We conclude that C and N allocation to phenolics and proteins is species- and organ-specific and the PCM predictions were correct when phenolics and proteins were expressed on a per plant content basis. 相似文献

Bicarbonate blocks iron translocation from cotyledons inducing iron stress responses in Citrus roots

The effect of bicarbonate ion (HCO3−) on the mobilization of iron (Fe) reserves from cotyledons to roots during early growth of citrus seedlings and its influence on the components of the iron acquisition system were studied. Monoembryonic seeds of Citrus limon (L.) were germinated “in vitro” on two iron-deprived media, supplemented or not with 10 mM HCO3− (−Fe+Bic and −Fe, respectively). After 21 d of culture, Fe concentration in seedling organs was measured, as well as gene expression and enzymatic activities. Finally, the effect of Fe resupply on the above responses was tested in the presence and absence of HCO3− (+Fe+Bic or +Fe, respectively). −Fe+Bic seedlings exhibited lower Fe concentration in shoots and roots than −Fe ones but higher in cotyledons, associated to a significative inhibition of NRAMP3 expression. HCO3− upregulated Strategy I related genes (FRO1, FRO2, HA1 and IRT1) and FC-R and H+-ATPase activities in roots of Fe-starved seedlings. PEPC1 expression and PEPCase activity were also increased. When −Fe+Bic pre-treated seedlings were transferred to Fe-containing media for 15 d, Fe content in shoots and roots increased, although to a lower extent in the +Fe+Bic medium. Consequently, the above-described root responses became markedly repressed, however, this effect was less pronounced in +Fe+Bic seedlings. In conclusion, it appears that HCO3− prevents Fe translocation from cotyledons to shoot and root, therefore reducing their Fe levels. This triggers Fe-stress responses in the root, enhancing the expression of genes related with Fe uptake and the corresponding enzymatic activities. 相似文献

Synthesis of complexes with the formulations [M(CPI)2Cl2] (M = Zn, 1; M = Cd, 4) and [M(CPI)6](X)2 (M = Zn, X = NO3−, 2; X = ClO4−, 3; M = Cd, X = NO3−, 5; X = ClO4−, 6) have been achieved from the reactions of MCl2, M(NO3)2·xH2O and M(ClO4)2·xH2O (M = Zn, Cd) with 1-(4-cyanophenyl)-imidazole (CPI). Complexes 1-6 have been characterized by elemental analyses and spectral studies (IR, 1H, 13C NMR, electronic absorption and emission). Molecular structures of 1, 2, 3 and 6 have been determined crystallographically. Weak interaction studies on the complexes revealed presence of various interesting motifs resulting from C-H···N, C-H···Cl and π-π stacking interactions. The complexes under study exhibit strong luminescence at ∼450 nm in DMSO at room temperature. 相似文献

Mixed ligand complexes: [Co(L)(bipy)] · 3H2O (1), [Ni(L)(phen)] · H2O (2), [Cu(L)(phen)] · 3H2O (3) and [Zn(L)(bipy)] · 3H2O (4), where L2− = two -COOH deprotonated dianion of N-(2-benzimidazolyl)methyliminodiacetic acid (H2bzimida, hereafter, H2L), bipy = 2,2′ bipyridine and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline have been isolated and characterized by elemental analysis, spectral and magnetic measurements and thermal studies. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies show octahedral geometry for 1, 2 and 4 and square pyramidal geometry for 3. Equilibrium studies in aqueous solution (ionic strength I = 10−1 mol dm−3 (NaNO3), at 25 ± 1 °C) using different molar proportions of M(II):H2L:B, where M = Co, Ni, Cu and Zn and B = phen, bipy and en (ethylene diamine), however, provides evidence of formation of mononuclear and binuclear binary and mixed ligand complexes: M(L), M(H−1L)−, M(B)2+, M(L)(B), M(H−1L)(B)−, M2(H−1L)(OH), (B)M(H−1L)M(B)+, where H−1L3− represents two -COOH and the benzimidazole N1-H deprotonated quadridentate (O−, N, O−, N), or, quinquedentate (O−, N, O−, N, N−) function of the coordinated ligand H2L. Binuclear mixed ligand complex formation equilibria: M(L)(B) + M(B)2+ ? (B)M(H−1L)M(B)+ + H+ is favoured with higher π-acidity of the B ligands. For Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II), these equilibria are accompanied by blue shift of the electronic absorption maxima of M(II) ions, as a negatively charged bridging benzimidazolate moiety provides stronger ligand field than a neutral one. Solution stability of the mixed ligand complexes are in the expected order: Co(II) < Ni(II) < Cu(II) > Zn(II). The Δ log KM values are less negetive than their statistical values, indicating favoured formation of the mixed ligand complexes over the binary ones. 相似文献

We investigated the responses of phytochelatins (PCs), glutathione (GSH) and other non-protein thiols in Cd hyperaccumulator Arabis paniculata after Cd exposure. Applying γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase (γ-ECS) inhibitor, l-buthionine-sulfoximine (BSO), the roles of PCs in Cd tolerance and Cd accumulation in A. paniculata were evaluated. Plants were exposed to four Cd concentrations (0, 50, 100 and 250 μM) for different times (2w or 3w) with and without BSO. Overall, Cd exposure had little impact on plant biomass after 2w or 3w of growth except at the highest Cd level. A. paniculata tolerated ≤100 μM Cd with up to 1127 mg kg?1 Cd in the shoots and 5624 mg kg?1 Cd in the roots after 3w of Cd exposure. Cd exposure induced formation of PCs and three unknown thiols in the roots, but none were detected in the shoots. BSO had no significant effect on Cd sensitivity in plants though it reduced Cd accumulation in the roots. In addition, the molar ratio of PCs:Cd, which ranged from 0.7 to 1.3 after exposing to 50–100 μM Cd without BSO in the roots, was close to the value expected for PC-mediated Cd sequestration in plants. Those data indicate that GSH and PCs did not contribute to Cd tolerance in the shoots and Cd transport from the root to shoot in A. paniculata, but they may play an important role in Cd accumulation and Cd complexation in the roots of A. paniculata. 相似文献

Background and Aims Following the consensus view for unitary origin and conserved function of stomata across over 400 million years of land plant evolution, stomatal abundance has been widely used to reconstruct palaeo-atmospheric environments. However, the responsiveness of stomata in mosses and hornworts, the most basal stomate lineages of extant land plants, has received relatively little attention. This study aimed to redress this imbalance and provide the first direct evidence of bryophyte stomatal responsiveness to atmospheric CO2.Methods A selection of hornwort (Anthoceros punctatus, Phaeoceros laevis) and moss (Polytrichum juniperinum, Mnium hornum, Funaria hygrometrica) sporophytes with contrasting stomatal morphologies were grown under different atmospheric CO2 concentrations ([CO2]) representing both modern (440 p.p.m. CO2) and ancient (1500 p.p.m. CO2) atmospheres. Upon sporophyte maturation, stomata from each bryophyte species were imaged, measured and quantified.Key Results Densities and dimensions were unaffected by changes in [CO2], other than a slight increase in stomatal density in Funaria and abnormalities in Polytrichum stomata under elevated [CO2].Conclusions The changes to stomata in Funaria and Polytrichum are attributed to differential growth of the sporophytes rather than stomata-specific responses. The absence of responses to changes in [CO2] in bryophytes is in line with findings previously reported in other early lineages of vascular plants. These findings strengthen the hypothesis of an incremental acquisition of stomatal regulatory processes through land plant evolution and urge considerable caution in using stomatal densities as proxies for paleo-atmospheric CO2 concentrations. 相似文献

Polydentate nitrogen heterocycle ligand 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine (2,3-dpp) reacted with M(NO3)x (M = Ag, x = 1; M = Cd, x = 2) to give two new complexes [Ag(2,3-dpp)(NO3)]2 (1) and [Cd(2,3-dpp)(NO3)2]n (2). Both complexes have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analyses, IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Single-crystal X-ray analyses showed that complex 1 crystallized in monoclinic, space group P21/n is a dimmer containing penta-coordinated Ag+ ion. While compound 2 has 1D chain-like structure with repeat unit Cd(2,3-dpp)(NO3)2, in which the Cd(II) presents octa-coordinated N4O4 donor set with two four-membered chelating rings and two five-membered chelating rings around Cd(II) ion. Meanwhile, every neutral chain [Cd(2,3-dpp)(NO3)2]n is mutually connected by face-to-face π?π packing interactions to form a two dimensional layer. Furthermore, antibacterial activities of compound 1 and luminescent property of the compound 2 are also investigated. 相似文献

(E)-2-(2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)hydrazono)-1-phenylbutane-1,3-dione (H2L) was synthesized by azocoupling of diazonium salt of 2-hydroxyaniline with 1-phenylbutane-1,3-dione and characterized by IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopies and X-ray diffraction analysis. In solution, H2L exists as a mixture of the enol-azo and hydrazone tautomeric forms and a decrease of temperature and of solvent polarity shifts the tautomeric balance to the hydrazone form. In the solid state, H2L crystallizes from ethanol-water in the monohydrate hydrazone form, as shown by X-ray analysis. The dissociation constants of H2L (pK1 = 5.98 ± 0.04, pK2 = 9.72 ± 0.03) and the stability constants of its copper(II) complex (log β1 = 11.01 ± 0.07, log β2 = 20.19 ± 0.08) were determined by the potentiometric method in aqueous-ethanol solution. The copper(II) complex [Cu2(μ-L)2]n was isolated in the solid state and found by X-rays to be a coordination polymer of a binuclear core with a distorted square pyramidal metal coordination geometry. 相似文献

Unlike superoxide dismutases (SODs), superoxide reductases (SORs) eliminate superoxide anion (O2•−) not through its dismutation, but via reduction to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the presence of an electron donor. The microaerobic protist Giardia intestinalis, responsible for a common intestinal disease in humans, though lacking SOD and other canonical reactive oxygen species-detoxifying systems, is among the very few eukaryotes encoding a SOR yet identified. In this study, the recombinant SOR from Giardia (SORGi) was purified and characterized by pulse radiolysis and stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The protein, isolated in the reduced state, after oxidation by superoxide or hexachloroiridate(IV), yields a resting species (Tfinal) with Fe3+ ligated to glutamate or hydroxide depending on pH (apparent pKa = 8.7). Although showing negligible SOD activity, reduced SORGi reacts with O2•− with a pH-independent second-order rate constant k1 = 1.0 × 109 M− 1 s− 1 and yields the ferric-(hydro)peroxo intermediate T1; this in turn rapidly decays to the Tfinal state with pH-dependent rates, without populating other detectable intermediates. Immunoblotting assays show that SORGi is expressed in the disease-causing trophozoite of Giardia. We propose that the superoxide-scavenging activity of SOR in Giardia may promote the survival of this air-sensitive parasite in the fairly aerobic proximal human small intestine during infection. 相似文献

Background
Orthophosphate (Pi) is a central compound in the metabolism of all organisms, including parasites. There are no reports regarding the mechanisms of Pi acquisition by Trypanosoma cruzi.Methods
32Pi influx was measured in T. cruzi epimastigotes. The expression of Pi transporter genes and the coupling of the uptake to Na+, H+ and K+ fluxes were also investigated. The transport capacities of different evolutive forms were compared.Results
Epimastigotes grew significantly more slowly in 2 mM than in 50 mM Pi. Influx of Pi into parasites grown under low Pi conditions took place in the absence and presence of Na+. We found that the parasites express TcPho84, a H+:Pi-symporter, and TcPho89, a Na+:Pi-symporter. Both Pi influx mechanisms showed Michaelis–Menten kinetics, with a one-order of magnitude higher affinity for the Na+-dependent system. Collapsing the membrane potential with carbonylcyanide-p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone strongly impaired the influx of Pi. Valinomycin (K+ ionophore) or SCH28028 (inhibitor of (H+ + K+)ATPase) significantly inhibited Pi uptake, indicating that an inwardly-directed H+ gradient energizes uphill Pi entry and that K+ recycling plays a key role in Pi influx. Furosemide, an inhibitor of the ouabain-insensitive Na+-ATPase, decreased only the Na+-dependent Pi uptake, indicating that this Na+ pump generates the Na+ gradient utilized by the symporter. Trypomastigote forms take up Pi inefficiently.Conclusions
Pi starvation stimulates membrane potential-sensitive Pi uptake through different pathways coupled to Na+ or H+/K+ fluxes.General significance
This study unravels the mechanisms of Pi acquisition by T. cruzi, a key process in epimastigote development and differentiation to trypomastigote forms. 相似文献20.

Community respiration and primary production were measured in a dense intertidal Zostera noltii bed on the Banc d’Arguin, Mauritania (West Africa) under aerial and submerged conditions. Metabolism was studied in situ in dark and transparent benthic chambers. CO2 fluxes in the air were measured over a series of short-term incubations (3 min) using an infrared gas analyzer. Dissolved inorganic carbon fluxes were calculated from concentration changes during one-hour underwater incubations. Air and underwater irradiance levels were measured every minute throughout the experiments. Carbon respiration was lower in the air (2.2 mmol m−2 h−1) than underwater (5.0 mmol m−2 h−1); similarly, a production-irradiance model fitted to the data indicated that gross maximal photosynthetic rate was markedly lower during emergence (6.0 mmol C m−2 h−1) than under water (42.7 mmol C m−2 h−1). The δ13C values observed in shoots indicated a decrease in atmospheric CO2 contribution, compared to dissolved inorganic carbon, in Z. noltii metabolism along a depth gradient within a single location. As the seagrass bed remains under a thin layer of water at low tide at the studied site, the large difference in primary production can be mainly attributed to photosynthesis inhibition by high pH and oxygen concentration, as well as to the negative feedback of self-shading by seagrass leaves during emersion. The observed differences in respiration can be explained by the oxygen deficit at night during low tide near the sediment surface, a deficit that is consistent with the abundance of anoxia-tolerant species. 相似文献
