黄瓜幼苗光合作用对高温胁迫的响应与适应

以‘津优35号’黄瓜幼苗为试材,研究高温(HT: 42 ℃/32 ℃)和亚高温(SHT: 35 ℃/25 ℃)胁迫对黄瓜幼苗光合作用及生长量的影响.结果表明: 高温、亚高温明显抑制幼苗生长.随着胁迫时间的延长,黄瓜幼苗叶片的光合速率(P_n)逐渐降低,胞间CO₂浓度(C_i)趋于升高,气孔导度(g_s)、蒸腾速率(T_r)、光呼吸速率(P_r)和暗呼吸速率(D_r)先上升后下降,高温、亚高温引起P_n降低的主要原因是非气孔限制.高温、亚高温可使黄瓜幼苗叶片的暗下光系统Ⅱ最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m)、光下实际光化学效率(Φ_PSII)、光化学猝灭系数(q_P)和电子传递效率(ETR)显著降低,初始荧光(F_o)和非化学猝灭系数(NPQ)逐渐升高.随着胁迫时间的延长,HT处理的RuBP羧化酶(RuBPCase)和Rubisco活化酶(RCA)活性及其mRNA表达量逐渐降低,而SHT处理的胁迫初期变化不大,3 d后趋于降低;HT和SHT处理的景天庚酮糖-1,7-二磷酸酶(SBPase)和果糖-1,6-二磷酸醛缩酶(FBA)活性与mRNA表达均呈先升高后降低趋势.可见,适宜光强下短时亚高温处理黄瓜幼苗不会产生明显光抑制,高温胁迫会对其PSⅡ反应中心造成严重损伤;光合酶受高温胁迫诱导,但其诱导效应与温度升高幅度和高温持续时间有关.     

三唑酮对黄瓜幼苗生长及抗寒性的影响

研究了不同浓度三唑酮浸种对黄瓜幼苗生物量及抗寒性的影响。结果表明,20～100μmol·L^-1三唑酮能显著抑制黄瓜幼苗的株高、根长,增加了根重、根冠比和叶绿素含量,30d幼苗经过3d低温胁迫后,10～50μmol·L^-1三唑酮处理能保持较高的叶绿素含量,有效地降低质膜相对透性,维持较高的SOD活性,50μmol·L^-1三唑酮处理明显减缓低温胁迫过程中MDA的累积。另外,50μmol·L^-1三唑酮处理在低温胁迫第1d促进脯氨酸的累积,在第3d脯氨酸反而低于对照。但高浓度(>100μmol·L^-1)三唑酮不利于幼苗抵御低温伤害,总的来看,三唑酮增强了黄瓜幼苗的耐寒性。     

Cadmium-induced ammonium ion accumulation of rice seedlings at high temperature is mediated through abscisic acid

Significant increases in aboveground biomass production have been observed in mixed plantations of Eucalyptus globulus and Acacia mearnsii when compared to monocultures. However, this positive growth response may be enhanced or lost with changes in resource availability. Therefore this study examined the effect of the commonly limiting resources soil N, P and moisture on the growth of E. globulus and A. mearnsii mixtures in a pot trial. Pots containing two E. globulus plants, two A. mearnsii plants or one of each species were treated with high and low levels of N and P fertiliser. After 50 weeks, E. globulus plants grew more aboveground biomass in mixtures than monocultures. A. mearnsii were larger in mixtures only at low N, where both species were similar in size and the combined aboveground biomass of both species in mixture was greater than that of monocultures. At high N and both high and low levels of P fertiliser E. globulus appeared to dominate and suppress A. mearnsii. In these treatments, the faster growth of E. globulus in mixture did not compensate the reduced growth of A. mearnsii, so mixtures were less productive than (or not significantly different from) E. globulus monocultures. The greater competitiveness of E. globulus in these situations may have resulted from its higher N and P use efficiency and greater growth response to N and P fertilisers compared to A. mearnsii. This trial indicates that the complex interactions between species in mixtures, and thus the success of mixed plantations, can be strongly influenced by site factors such as the availability of N and P.     

Effect of paclobutrazol on abscisic acid levels in wheat seedlings

Contradictory results have been reported for the effects of triazoles on abscisic acid (ABA) levels in plants. Paclobutrazol reduced the height, fresh weight, and ABA levels of wheat seedlings. The magnitude of the inhibitory effect of paclobutrazol on ABA levels was dependent on the length of time after application. ABA levels in plants as determined by gas chromatography-selected ion monitoring-mass spectrometry (GC-SIM-MS) were reduced by 50–60% 2 days after soil application. A further 15% reduction occurred by the seventh day after treatment. ABA level analyses began at the time of treatment with 4-day-old seedlings and continued until 21 days after treatment when only a 20% reduction was detected. These determinations using GC-SIM-MS should increase the understanding of triazole effects on ABA levels.

外源亚精胺对高温胁迫下黄瓜幼苗氮素代谢的影响

以较为耐热的黄瓜品种‘津春4号’为试材,在人工气候箱中,采用石英砂培加营养液浇灌的栽培方式,研究了外源亚精胺( Spd)对高温胁迫(42℃)下黄瓜幼苗氮素代谢的影响.结果表明:短期高温胁迫处理,尤其是4h内,植株硝态氮含量降低而铵态氮含量升高;外源Spd预处理使幼苗体内硝态氮和铵态氮含量升高且硝酸还原酶(NR)活性增强.较长期高温胁迫处理下,幼苗根系中硝态氮含量升高但向地上部运输受阻,根系NR钝化,根系和叶片中铵态氮含量均显著升高;高温胁迫下喷施Spd,除进一步促进根系吸收硝态氮且向地上部运输外,根系和叶片NR活性亦有所升高,从较长期的效果看,外源Spd还具有防止铵态氮过度积累、促进幼苗体内氮素代谢趋于正常的作用.     

Analysis of the grasspea proteome and identification of stress-responsive proteins upon exposure to high salinity, low temperature, and abscisic acid treatment

Abiotic stress causes diverse biochemical and physiological changes in plants and limits crop productivity. Plants respond and adapt to such stress by altering their cellular metabolism and activating various defense machineries. To understand the molecular basis of stress tolerance in plants, we have developed differential proteomes in a hardy legume, grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.). Five-week-old grasspea seedlings were subjected independently to high salinity, low temperature and abscisic acid treatment for duration of 36 h. The physiological changes of stressed seedlings were monitored, and correlated with the temporal changes of proteome using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Approximately, 400 protein spots were detected in each of the stress proteome with one-fourth showing more than 2-fold differences in expression values. Eighty such proteins were subjected to LC-tandem MS/MS analyses that led to the identification of 48 stress-responsive proteins (SRPs) presumably involved in a variety of functions, including metabolism, signal transduction, protein biogenesis and degradation, and cell defense and rescue. While 33 proteins were responsive to all three treatments, 15 proteins were expressed in stress-specific manner. Further, we explored the possible role of ROS in triggering the stress-induced degradation of large subunit (LSU) of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco). These results might help in understanding the spectrum of stress-regulated proteins and the biological processes they control as well as having implications for strategies to improve stress adaptation in plants.     

Abscission-promoting activities of abscisic acid and five abscisic acid analogs in cotton seedlings and explants

The abscission-promoting activities of abscisic acid (ABA) and 5 ABA analogs were examined in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv LG102) seedlings and cotyledonary node explants. The analogs tested included a series of acetylenic derivatives that differ in the oxidation state of the C-1 atom, a 2,3 dihydro-derivative of ABA and a 2,3 dihydro-derivative of an acetylenic analog with a C-1 carboxyl moiety. ABA and all five analogs were active in stimulating petiole abscission in explants. Following treatment with 100,µM ABA or analog, 50% abscission of explants was observed after 29 h and complete abscission occurred within 40 h. With one exception, none of the treatments resulted in an increase in explant ethylene production. Pretreatment of the explants with the ethylene antagonist silver thiosulfate completely abolished the abscission-promoting activities of ABA and all of the analogs. Daily application of ABA or any of the analogs had no effect on cotyledon abscission in intact seedlings. The implications of the results with respect to the development of a commercial ABA-like regulator as well as to ABA structure-activity studies are discussed.Mention of trademark or proprietary product does not constitute a guarantee or warranty of the product by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and does not imply its approval to the exclusion of other products that may also be suitable.

Effects of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) on cucumber seedling leaf carbohydrate metabolism under low temperature

Seedlings with four true leaves of cucumbers (Cucumis sativus L.), Guonong No.25 (a cold-tolerant cultivar) and Guonong No.41 (a cold sensitive cultivar), were grown under normal or low temperature conditions: 25°C/18°C or 15°C/8°C (day/night). The seedlings of Guonong No.25 under low temperature were also treated with or without exogenous ABA. The purpose of our study was to find out the effects of low temperature and exogenous ABA application on the carbohydrate metabolism in the cucumber plants. Time course changes of carbohydrate contents and activities of stachyose synthase and alkaline α-galactosidase in the seedling leaves were investigated after the treatment. Our results show that compared to the seedlings under temperatures of 25°C/18°C, the seedlings of the both tested genotypes under 15°C/8°C (day/night) have significantly higher contents of all measured soluble carbohydrates. Significant difference in stachyose synthase activity is observed between the two genotypes under normal temperature or low temperature. Under normal temperature, leaf stachyose synthase activity in Guonong No.41 is higher than that in Guonong No.25. The stachyose synthase activity of Guonong No.41 decreases sharply under low temperature, but that of Guonong No.25 increases 3 days after treatment and then decreases to the original level. In contrast, there is no significant genotypic difference in alkaline α-galactosidase activity. Additionally, compared to the control seedlings treated with 0 μM ABA, the seedlings treated with 50 and 150 μM ABA accumulate substantial amounts of all tested soluble carbohydrates except galactose whereas 250 μM ABA treated seedlings show decreased levels of all these soluble carbohydrates. Stachyose synthase activity increases significantly upon 50 and 150 μM ABA treatments. Fan-zhen Menga, Li-ping Hu, and Shao-hui Wang contributed equally to the paper.     

脱落酸调节植物抵御水分胁迫的机制研究

干旱、盐渍、低温等均可导致植物可利用水分的亏缺,表现为水分胁迫。植物感受到水分胁迫,诱导脱落酸（abscisic acid,ABA）生物合成。ABA可通过促使气孔关闭或抑制气孔开放,使作物尽可能地降低蒸腾失水,以抵御水分胁迫。该文就植物激素ABA及其下游信号过氧化氢（hydrogenperoxide,H2O2）、一氧化氮（nitric oxide,NO）以及Ca2＋等在植物气孔运动调节方面的研究进展进行概述,以构建水分胁迫下ABA调节植物气孔运动的可能模式。     

Some growth responses of apple seedlings to abscisic acid and growth stimulators

Antonovka seedlings were obtained from the embryos soaked in abscisic acid (ABA) alone, gibberellin A₄₊₇, benzyladenine or the mixtures of these regulators. The inhibitory effect of ABA on the growth of the seedlings was of temporary duration. The height of the 12 week-old seedlings was dependent only on the degree of seed after-ripening and not on the ABA treatment. The growth stimulators studied were unable to overcome the inhibitory effect of ABA observed in the early stages of seedling growth. The growth stimulators did not substitute, for cold treatment of apple seeds which is the only treatment so far known to overcome the dwarf conditions of the seedlings obtained from non-after-ripened embryos. ABA greatly suppressed the early stages of apple seedling growth (up to 6 weeks) during which they resembled physiological dwarfs. The highest concentrations of ABA (2·0 μg ml^?1) greatly modified the root system of the seedlings, and produced a larger percentage of seedlings with unbranched roots.     

Effect of chlorocholine chloride and gibberellic acid on the anthocyanin synthesis in radish seedlings

Anthocyanin synthesis in radish ( Raphanus sativus L. cv. Scarlet Globe) seedlings after treatment with chlorocholine chloride (CCC) and gibberellic acid (GA) has been investigated. CCC promotes and GA₃ inhibits the synthesis. When both substances are given together, CCC reverses the inhibition caused by GA₃. Simultaneous external feeding of anthocyanin precursors (sucrose and phenylalanine) reverses the GA₃ inhibition. A higher amount of total free amino acids, in particular phenylalanine, was present in CCC-treated seedlings compared to controls grown on distilled water. The amount of phenylalanine was lower in seedlings treated with both CCC and GA₃ as compared to seedlings treated with CCC alone, and total free sugars (reducing plus non-reducing) was lower in CCC treated seedlings than in controls grown on distilled water. We conclude that CCC and GA3 control the anthocyanin synthesis at the level of precursors.

脱落酸对低温下雷公藤幼苗光合作用及叶绿素荧光的影响

以1年生雷公藤扦插苗为试材,研究低温胁迫下不同浓度外源脱落酸（ABA,0、5、10、15、20、25 mg·L^-1)叶面喷施处理对雷公藤叶片光合作用及叶绿素荧光参数的影响.结果表明：喷施20 mg·L^-1的ABA能显著提高雷公藤幼苗的抗冷性,减缓低温下雷公藤叶片净光合速率(P_n)、蒸腾速率(T_r)、气孔导度(g_s)、胞间CO₂浓度(C_i)的下降幅度,提高幼苗叶片的光合能力.低温处理6 d后,随着ABA浓度上升,雷公藤叶片的初始荧光(F_o)下降,最大荧光(F_m)和PSII最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m)上升,PSII实际光化学量子产量(Φ_PSⅡ)、光化学猝灭系数(q_P)先下降后上升,而非光化学猝灭系数(q_N)呈下降－上升－下降趋势.P_n、g_s、q_P、F_m和F_v/F_m均在20 mg·L^-1ABA处理时达到峰值.不同浓度ABA的相对电子传递速率(rETR)随着光化光强度增加呈先上升后下降的趋势,当光化光强度(PAR)达到395 μmol·m^-2s^-1时,各处理的rETR达到最高值,其中25 mg·L^-1和20 mg·L^-1ABA处理分别比对照高17.1%和5.2%.雷公藤叶片Φ_PSⅡ的光响应曲线均随光化光强度升高而下降,q_N的光响应曲线则呈相反趋势.     

Involvement of abscisic acid and ethylene in the responses of citrus seedlings to salt shock

The responses of salt‐sensitive citrus rootstocks to 200 m M NaCl were periodically determined on seedlings of citrange Carrizo ( Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck × Poncirus trifoliata [L.] Raf) during 30 days. The stressed seedlings adjusted osmotically, reduced stomatal conductance, increased proline content and ethylene production, and showed massive leaf abscission (92%). The salt shock also increased abscisic acid (ABA) and aminocyclopropane‐1‐carboxylic acid (ACC) in roots, xylem fluid and leaves, and in addition promoted Cl⁻ accumulation. The pattern of change of ABA, ACC and proline followed a two‐phase response: an initial transient increase (10‐12 days) overlapping with a gradual and continuous accumulation. This biphasic response appears to be compatible with the proposal that the transitory hormonal rises are induced by the osmotic component of salinity, whereas the Cl⁻ increase determines the subsequent accumulations. During the second phase, Cl⁻ levels correlated with abscission in leaves. Production of leaf ethylene was also concomitant with the increase in the abscission rate. Salt‐induced abscission was either reduced with CoCl₂ (52%) or inhibited with silver thiosulphate (14%). The results suggest that in salt‐stressed citrus, leaf abscission is induced by the chloride build‐up through a mechanism that stimulates leaf ACC synthesis and further conversion to ethylene.     

Identification by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of phaseic acid and dihydrophaseic acid and characterization of further abscisic acid metabolites in pea seedlings

Seven day old seedlings of Pisum sativum L., cv. Kleine Rheinländerin, were wilted for 3 days. After partially removing the roots, they were rewatered and at the same time radioactive abscisic acid([1-¹⁴C]ABA, spec. activity 1.7·10⁸d s^-1mmol^-1) was applied for 1 h via the xylem of the roots. After 24 h, 4 days, and 12 days the seedlings were extracted and the metabolites of ABA were analyzed by means of thin-layer and gas chromatography in combination with mass spectrometry, autoradiography, and scintillation counting. Phaseic acid (PA) and dihydrophaseic acid (DPA) were identified as metabolites of ABA. The presence of another ABA-metabolite was also demonstrated. From its mass spectrum it has been postulated that this metabolite is 4-desoxy-ABA. In addition to these substances, several other metabolites, which are more polar than ABA and its known degradation products, were present in the seedlings. The quantity and number of these unknown metabolites increased with time.Abbreviations ABA abscisic acid - PA phaseic acid - DPA dihydrophaseic acid - TLC thin-layer chromatography - GC gas chromatography - PPO 2,5-diphenyloxazole - POPOP 2,2-p-phenylen bis(5-phenyloxazole)
