外源茉莉酸对牛皮杜鹃UV-B辐射缓解作用研究

为了探究外源茉莉酸在UV-B辐射中可能的作用及缓解作用机制。茉莉酸预处理牛皮杜鹃4 d,PAR和UV-B下辐射48 h,对叶绿素荧光、过氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、丙二醛(MDA)、NADPH氧化酶和花青素进行测定。结果显示,UV-B辐射使Fm、Fv/Fm、Fv'/Fm'、Fv/Fo、qP、花青素含量以及CAT活性显著降低,qP和rETR快速光响应曲线下降幅度增大,同时显著提高SOD和NADPH氧化酶的活性。JA预处理显著提高Fm、Fv/Fm、Fv'/Fm'、Fv/Fo、qP、花青素含量以及SOD和NADPH氧化酶活性,并且维持MDA含量和CAT活性在对照水平,且使qP、NPQ和rETR快速光响应曲线呈现出最佳状态。这些结果证实了外施茉莉酸能够使牛皮杜鹃具有抗胁迫能力,部分抵消了UV-B辐射对牛皮杜鹃的负面影响的假说。     

UV-B辐射对菹草成株叶绿素荧光参数的影响

以春末夏初南京地表实际UV-B剂量为参考,将菹草成株分别置于50、100、150和200μW·cm-2剂量的UV-B辐射下,测定其叶绿素荧光参数。结果表明:Fo、Fm在辐射早期随辐射剂量增加而递增,但后期随辐射剂量增加而递减;Fv/Fm、ΦPSII、NPQ随辐射剂量增加而递减。因此,菹草成株在遭遇UV-B辐射后,PSII反应中心出现可逆性失活或出现不易逆转的破坏,致使原初光能转换效率、电子传递速率下降,实际光化学效率降低,最终加速菹草衰亡。因此,春末夏初UV-B辐射增强可能是促进野外菹草大批衰亡的重要原因,但是否与其他环境因素之间存在联合作用机制,还需要进一步研究。     

增强UV-B辐射对柚树苗生长和生理特性效应研究

增强的UV-B辐射明显降低柚树苗的株高,叶面积,比叶面积,增加叶片厚度和叶肉密度.柚树苗叶片叶绿素,可溶性蛋白含量和硝酸还原酶活性降低,可溶性糖含量上升.不同品种柚苗对UV-B辐射反应存在差异,酸柚抗性较强.经UV-B增强处理后,叶片Pn值下降,Rd先上升后恢复原有水平.Fv/Fm,ΦPSⅡ,qP均有不同程度的降低,而qN和KD升高,表明增强UV-B导致PSⅡ失活,PSⅡ原初光化学效率、开放PSⅡ中心数目和非环式电子传递效率下降.部分激发能通过非光化学荧光猝灭形式耗散.UV-B辐射使叶片膜脂过氧化产物MDA含量大幅度上升.SOD和APX活性在处理初期提高,随后下降,初步推测:增强UV-B辐射诱导膜脂过氧化作用,攻击光合作用中心靶点并导致PSⅡ失活,进而降低植物光合能力和物质代谢强度,最终导致柚树苗生长受到抑制.     

短期UV-B辐射对青藏高原美丽风毛菊PS Ⅱ光化学效率的影响

通过短期增补UV-B辐射模拟试验,研究了青藏高原典型天气(晴天、多云、阴天)下高山植物美丽风毛菊叶片的叶绿素荧光参数变化.结果表明:随天气由晴变阴,美丽风毛菊叶片暗适应3 min的PSⅡ最大光化学量子效率(Fv/Fm)显著升高,实际PSⅡ光化学效率(ФPSⅡ)和光化学猝灭系数(qp)也升高,而非光化学猝灭系数(NPQ)则降低,可见光辐射(PAR)是影响PSⅡ光能转化效率的主要因素.增补UV-B辐射后,3种典型天气下,美丽风毛菊叶片的Fv/Fm和NPQ略有降低,ФPSⅡ和qp略微增加,但对光合气体交换过程没有产生负影响.叶片净光合速率Pn和ФPSⅡ的增高趋势与增补UV-B辐射下相对较多的UV-A成分有关,同时也得益于叶片厚度的增加.UV-B辐射对叶片光合机构具有潜在负影响.     

有棱丝瓜苗期耐热性及其对热胁迫的生理响应

为鉴定有棱丝瓜(Luffa acutangula)的耐热性,对32个品种进行了耐热性筛选,并对不同耐热性品种在热胁迫下的生理响应进行了研究。结果表明,这些品种中有耐热品种3个,热敏品种4个,居中的25个。对耐热品种WB121,较耐热品种YL8和热敏品种WB105进行高温处理,结果表明,随着高温胁迫时间的延长,3个品种叶片的丙二醛含量、相对电导率、可溶性糖含量均逐渐增加。3种保护酶(SOD、CAT和POD)活性未表现出与耐热性一致的变化。3个品种的叶绿素荧光参数Fv/Fm、Yeild和ETR随着高温胁迫时间的延长均下降,以热敏品种下降幅度最大。Pearson相关分析表明,热害指数与相对电导率呈显著正相关(r=0.693*),与丙二醛和可溶性糖含量呈极显著正相关(r=0.814,0.899**),与叶绿素荧光参数(Fv/Fm,Yield,ETR)呈极显著负相关(r=-0.892,-0.896,-0.897**),与3种保护酶活性的相关性不显著。由此可见,叶绿素荧光参数(Fv/Fm,Yield,ETR)可以快速、准确地反映植物热害,建议将其作为有棱丝瓜耐热性鉴定的重要生理指标。

UV-B辐射增强对紫茎泽兰和艾草抗性生理特性的影响

以外来入侵杂草紫茎泽兰(Eupatorium adenophorum L.)和本地土著杂草艾草(Artemisia argyi Levl)为材料,以自然光照为对照,用增强UV-B(0.46mW·cm-2·h-1)对材料进行7周辐射处理,随后停止辐射增强进行恢复试验,观察2种植物的生长状况,测定分析其光合特性、氧化物和抗氧化物含量、抗氧化酶活性的变化,探讨在紫外UV-B辐射增强条件下2种植物光合作用、光保护及损伤修复能力的差异。结果表明:(1)随着辐射时间的增长,2类植物叶片开放的PSⅡ反应中心激发能捕获效率(Fv′/Fm′)和PSⅡ凌晨最大潜在最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)受到轻微抑制,但紫茎泽兰最大净光合速率(Pn max)受到的抑制比艾草更明显。(2)2类植物叶片内过氧化产物丙二醛(MDA)和超氧基离子(O-·2)的含量增加,但艾草中O-·2的相对累积比例比紫茎泽兰要高很多。(3)紫茎泽兰的抗氧化物抗坏血酸(ASA)和谷胱甘肽(GSH)的含量先增加后减少,艾草中的含量则保持在更高水平;2种植物的过氧化物酶(POD)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性都显著增强,抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)活性都先增强后减弱,紫茎泽兰的过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性逐渐被抑制,而艾草则是先增强后减弱。研究认为,紫茎泽兰和艾草对UV-B辐射增强的光合作用和抗氧化系统响应过程类似但存在差异,对增强UV-B辐射环境的适应能力及抗逆性均较强。     

低温胁迫下不同甘蔗品种(系)光合特性的变化及其与耐寒性的关系

以广西农科院甘蔗研究所自育的7个新材料和2个生产上的主栽品种为研究对象,在甘蔗苗期进行低温胁迫处理,研究了各品种(系)甘蔗形态特征的冷害指数、叶绿素含量及光合特性相关指标的变化及其光合特性相关指标与甘蔗抗寒性间的相关性。结果表明:随着低温胁迫处理时间的延长,冷害指数不断增大,但变化的大小与快慢因品种(系)不同表现不一样。各甘蔗品种(系)叶片叶绿素含量均随时间延长而降低。叶片净光合速率、气孔导度在低温处理与常温处理间具有显著差异。低温胁迫处理显著降低了各甘蔗品种(系)最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)、PSⅡ实际光能转化效率ΦPSⅡ、光适应下PSⅡ反应中心的最大光能转化效率Fv′/Fm′、光化学猝灭系数qP、电子传递速率ETR,而显著提高了初始荧光Fo、稳态荧光Fs、非光化学猝灭系数qNP。相关性分析表明整个测定时期各指标间相关显著,Fv/Fm、Fv′/Fm′、ΦPSⅡ与冷害指数I之间的相关系数在0.800以上,Fv/Fm、Fv′/Fm′、ΦPSⅡ可以作为甘蔗品种(系)抗寒性鉴定的重要参考指标。     

UV-B辐射增强对水稻生长发育及其产量形成的影响

在盆载条件下,研究UV-B辐射（280-320nm）增强对3个不同类型水稻品种（组合）的生长发育及其产量构成的影响。结果表明,UV-B辐射增强明显抑制水稻生长,使株高变矮、分蘖数减少、叶面积和干物质量下降,但其抑制程度依品种、水稻所处的生长阶段的不同而不同;株高在苗期下降幅度最大,为9.4%-12.2%,干物质量在分蘖期下降幅度最大,地下部和地上部干物质量分别下降45.3%-59.8%、54.9%-59.0%,增强的UV-B辐射使水稻主茎不同叶位的出叶时间延迟,生育期延长,汕优63、南川、IR65600-85的抽穗时间分别比对照延迟2d、3d和7d,成熟期分别推迟3d、4d和9d,UV-B辐射增强明显降低水稻叶片的叶绿素和类胡萝卜素含量,叶片叶绿素a荧光诱导动力学参数Fv、Fv/Fm、Fv/Fo下降,与对照相比,汕优6.3、南川、IR65600-85叶片的净光合速率分别下降了11.9%、12.8%、29.7%,UV-B辐射增强使水稻每株有效穗、每穗总粒数、结实率、千粒重下降,最终导致水稻籽粒产量下降25.2%-31.1%。

为筛选红小豆（Phaseolus angularis Linn.）幼苗抗旱性鉴定指标,采用盆栽控水方法,对红小豆3个品种‘保红947’、‘东北大红袍’、‘晋小豆5号’进行了苗期形态特征及根系生理生化特性的研究。结果表明：干旱胁迫抑制了红小豆3个品种植株的生长;重度干旱胁迫下,3个品种光系统Ⅱ（PSⅡ）的潜在活性（可变荧光/初始荧光,Fv/Fo）、最大光化学效率（可变荧光/最大荧光产量,Fv/Fm）、株高、叶面积、茎粗、根鲜重、根系活力、可溶性蛋白质含量等指标均随干旱胁迫强度的增加呈明显下降趋势,根冠比、根系脯氨酸（Pro）含量、可溶性糖含量、SOD活性、POD活性、MDA含量等指标随着干旱胁迫强度的增加呈明显上升趋势。综合各项生理指标,‘东北大红袍’在干旱胁迫下能保持相对较优的生理状态,抗旱性最强。通过主成分分析表明,株高、叶面积、茎粗、主根长、根鲜重、最大光化学效率、根系活力、可溶性糖含量、可溶性蛋白质含量、SOD活性、MDA含量等生理生化特性可作为鉴定红小豆苗期抗旱性的指标。     

Interactions between willows and insect herbivores under enhanced ultraviolet-B radiation

We studied the effects of elevated ultraviolet-B radiation on interactions between insect herbivores and their host plants by exposing two species of phytochemically different willows, Salix myrsinifolia and S. phylicifolia, to a modulated increase in ultraviolet radiation in an outdoor experiment and monitoring the colonisation of insect herbivores on these willows. We examined the effect of increased ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation on (1) the quality of willow leaves, (2) the distribution and abundance of insect herbivores feeding on these willows, (3) the resulting amount of damage, and (4) the performance of insect larvae feeding on the exposed plant tissue. Six clones of each of the two willow species were grown in eight blocks for 12 weeks in the UV-B irradiation field. The clones were exposed to a constant 50% increase in UV-B radiation (simulating 20-25% ozone depletion), to a small increase in UV-A radiation or to ambient solar irradiation. We allowed colonisation on the willows by naturally occurring insects, but also introduced adults of a leaf beetle, Phratora vitellinae, a specialist herbivore on S. myrsinifolia. Increased UV-B radiation did not affect any of the measured indices of plant quality. However, numbers of P. vitellinae on S. myrsinifolia were higher in plants with UV-B treatment compared with UV-A and shade controls. In laboratory tests, growth of the second-instar larva of P. vitellinae was not affected by UV-B treatment of S. myrsinifolia, but was retarded on UV-B treated leaves of S. phylicifolia. In addition, naturally occurring insect herbivores were more abundant on willows exposed to elevated UV-B radiation compared to those grown under control treatments. In spite of the increased abundance of insect herbivores, willows treated with elevated UV-B did not suffer more herbivore damage than willows exposed to ambient solar radiation (shade control). The observed effects of UV-B on herbivore abundance, feeding and growth varied significantly due to spatial variation in environment quality, as indicated by the UV-treatment x block interaction. The results suggest that (1) environmental variation modifies the effects of UV-B radiation on plant-insect interactions and (2) specialist herbivores might be more sensitive to chemical changes in their secondary host plants (S. phylicifolia) than to changes in their primary hosts (S. myrsinifolia).     

The effects of increased UV-B radiation on growth,pollination success,and lifetime female fitness in two Brassica species

The increasing levels of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation reaching the earth's surface caused by ozone destruction have prompted many studies of UV-B effects on plants. Most of these studies have focused on physiological and growth responses of plants to increased UV-B, but these measures may not be closely related to future survival of plant populations. We examined the effects of two different levels of increased UV-B on total female fitness, including seed number and quality, in rapid-cycling strains of Brassica nigra and B. rapa (Brassicaceae). We also measured the effects of UV-B on fitness components, particularly those related to pollination success. Two separate experiments, examining two different levels of UV-B, were performed. Sixty plants of each species were grown under control and enhanced levels of UV-B for a total of 480 plants (60 plantsx2 speciesx2 UV-B levelsx2 experiments). Increased UV-B was generally detrimental to growth and flowering in both species; however, total seed production was actually greater at higher UV-B doses in three of four dose/plant species combinations examined. UV-B had little effect on pollination success or offspring quality in either species. Therefore, in spite of the detrimental effects of UV-B on growth and flowering that we found, there is little evidence that fitness of these plant species would suffer with increasing UV-B, and we caution against using solely physiological or growth measurements to infer effects of UV-B on plant population fitness.     

Modulated increased UV-B radiation affects crop growth and grain yield and quality of maize in the field

Current research on the effect of increased UV-B radiation on crop production has been limited to exposing plants to improbable UV-B dose or growth condition. The objective of this study was to test the effects of short-term modulated increased UV-B radiation on maize (Zea mays L.) growth, grain yield, and quality under field conditions for three years. A modulated irradiance system was used to maintain UV-B radiation at 30% above the ambient level and was applied daily between the elongation and silking stages of maize. The result indicated that increased UV-B radiation adversely affected maize growth and yield, especially on plant height when UV-B was enhanced at the elongation stage and on yield when UV-B was enhanced near the silking stage. Yield reduction that induced by enhanced UV-B radiation was associated with reductions in number of kernels per row and kernel mass. Protein content of grains was increased with enhanced UV-B radiation, but oil and starch contents were not affected. This study confirmed the sensitivity of maize to increased UV-B radiation under the field condition, and contributed to understand the full negative and positive effects of increased UV-B radiation on crop production.     

Interactions between drought, ABA application and supplemental UV-B in Populus yunnanensis

To test whether drought and ABA application alter the effects of enhanced UV-B on the growth and biomass allocation of Populus yunnanensis Dode, cuttings were grown in pots at two ABA levels, two watering regimes and two UV-B levels for one growth season. Exposure to enhanced UV-B radiation significantly decreased plant growth and photosynthesis under well-watered conditions, but these effects were obscured by drought, which alone caused growth reduction. Drought may contribute to masking the effects of UV-B radiation. The accumulation of UV-B absorbing compounds and the increase of the ABA content induced by drought could reduce the effectiveness of UV-B radiation. ABA application did not have large direct effects on biomass accumulation and allocation. Evidence for interactions between UV-B and ABA was detected for only a few measured traits. Therefore, there was little evidence to support a pivotal role for ABA in regulating a centralized whole plant response to enhanced UV-B. Yet, we recorded an ABA-induced decrease in stomatal conductance (g(s)) and increase in UV-B absorbing compounds and carbon isotope composition (delta(13)C) in response to enhanced UV-B. The allometric analysis revealed that regression models between root and shoot biomass in response to enhanced UV-B are different for plants under well-watered and drought conditions. Enhanced UV-B led to a significant displacement of the allometric regression line under well-watered condition, while allometric trajectories for both UV-B regimes did not differ significantly under drought condition.     

The Tradescantia-micronucleus test on the genotoxicity of UV-B radiation.

Lanzhou city is located in north central China near inner Mongolia. The solar UV-B background radiation in this area is occasionally extremely high (8 microW/cm2). Such high background solar UV-B radiation could be attributed to the sporadic depletion of the ozone layer in the stratosphere. The excessive UV-B radiation is a potential hazard in the environment. This prompted the present study on the effect of UV-B radiation on the cytogenetic damage to pollen mother cells of the plant Tradescantia. The Tradescantia-micronucleus (Trad-MCN) test was used to determine the genotoxicity of UV-B radiation. In addition to the usual 10 h of solar emission of UV light a series of increasing dosages (2, 4, 6, 8 h) of artificial UV-B radiation was applied to Tradescantia (clone 3) plant cuttings. Inflorescences of the treated and control plants were fixed and used for preparation of microslides. Micronuclei frequencies were observed in the early tetrads to show the degree of genotoxicity. Results of two repeated experiments show a dose-related increase of MCN frequencies under normal sunshine days. In the third experiment conducted under a cloudy and rainy day and an extraordinary high solar UV-B background, the MCN frequencies were markedly higher than that of the negative control but did not show the clear dose response to the treatment as in the first two experiments. The Trad-MCN test has successfully detected the effect of artificial UV-B radiation over the solar UV-B background radiation.     

增强UV-B辐射及氮水平对长春花生长和生理代谢的影响

地表UV-B 辐射增强和氮沉降增加目前已成为影响植物生长的重要生态因子。本文以药用植物长春花（Catharanthus roseus）为材料,研究UV-B辐射和氮供应增加对长春花生长、生理及长春碱含量的协同效应。研究结果表明,紫外辐射增加对长春花生长和生物量积累具有显著的抑制作用。同时外源增加氮供应能明显缓解紫外辐射引起的生长抑制效应。紫外辐射引起的叶片膜脂过氧化胁迫导致了长春花叶片丙二醛含量显著增加,但同时增加氮供应能显著降低丙二醛水平。增强UV-B辐射处理显著促进长春花叶片UV-B吸收化合物合成积累,并随氮供应增加其含量进一步增加;氮供应增加和UV-B辐射增强共同作用时,长春花叶片中长春碱的含量较其单独作用时均显著增加。上述结果表明,增加氮供应不但可以缓解紫外辐射引起的生长抑制和生理伤害,同时对长春花叶片中生物碱的合成积累具有协同促进效应,其原因可能是增强UV-B辐射能促使长春花利用更多的氮源合成积累长春碱。     

UV-B辐射对马尾松凋落叶分解和养分释放的影响

由大气臭氧层减薄导致的UV-B辐射变化将直接影响到凋落物的分解。目前,有关UV-B辐射影响木本植物凋落物分解的研究还很少,在国内还没有开展。采用分解袋法开展了马尾松凋落叶在自然环境和UV-B辐射滤减两种辐射环境下的分解试验。结果表明：在UV-B辐射滤减环境下的马尾松凋落叶年分解速率比对照环境减慢了47.74%。UV-B辐射极显著(p<0.01)地加快了马尾松凋落叶的分解速率,促进了凋落叶中碳、磷、钾的释放和木质素的降解,对氮的释放无明显影响。研究结果意味着UV-B辐射将加快马尾松林的营养循环速度,降低马尾松林凋落物层的碳储量。     

低纬高原地区UV-B辐射对报春花丙二醛、蛋白质含量的影响

以同期种植的云南报春花为试验材料,利用获得的云南不同纬度、不同海拔高度,而经度差异不大的4个试验点的UV-B辐射观测资料,初步研究了低纬高原地区不同UV-B辐射强度变化对云南报春花丙二醛、可溶性蛋白质的影响。结果表明,UV-B辐射强度从2~5月呈上升趋势,辐射值最高为丽江点,5月份达12·90w·m-2,相对来说高海拔地区的紫外辐射强度较强,各试验点报春花叶片的丙二醛含量以3、4月份较高,可溶性蛋白质含量以2、4月份较高。随着UV-B辐射强度增强,报春花丙二醛含量先升高后降低,叶片丙二醛含量也较高,不同生育期丙二醛含量不同,其含量以开花期和结实期最高;而随着UV-B辐射强度的变化,各实验点报春花叶片蛋白质含量变化不一致,不同生育期可溶性蛋白质含量不同,其含量以开花期为最高。     

The effects of ultraviolet-B radiation and intraspecific competition on growth, pollination success, and lifetime female fitness in Phacelia campanularia and P. purshii (Hydrophyllaceae)

While a considerable amount of attention has been devoted to the effects that increased ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation has on vegetative plant growth and physiological function, the impact that UV-B may have on plant fitness has been the focus of fewer studies, with attention given primarily to a few crop species. Further, the possible interactions between UV-B and additional potential stresses found in natural environments have rarely been studied experimentally. Because the reported effects of increased UV-B on plant growth and fitness have been highly variable, studies that focus on factors that may lead to these differences in results are important for the formulation of accurate predictions about future plant success under varying UV-B levels. We examined the effects of UV-B dose and intraspecific competition on growth, phenology, pollen production, pollination success, fruit and seed production, and offspring quality in two species of Phacelia. Increased UV-B was neutral or beneficial for all traits, while competition was neutral or detrimental. There were no significant interactions between UV-B and competition in the parental generation. Phacelia campanularia offspring were unaffected by parental competition, but derived indirect beneficial effects on germination, growth, and fitness traits from parental enhanced UV-B.
