植物间正相互作用对种群动态和群落结构的影响:基于个体模型的研究进展

植物间的相互作用对种群动态和群落结构有着重要的影响。大量的野外实验已经揭示了正相互作用(互利)在群落中的普遍存在及其重要性。为了弥补野外实验方法的不足, 模型方法被越来越多地应用于正相互作用及其生态学效应的研究中。该文基于个体模型研究, 探讨了植物间正相互作用对种群动态和群落结构的影响。介绍了植物间正相互作用的定义和发生机制、植物间相互作用与环境梯度的关系。正相互作用是指发生在相邻的植物个体之间, 至少对其中一个个体有益的相互作用。植物通过直接(生境改善或资源富集)或间接(协同防御等)作用使局部环境有利于邻体而发生正相互作用。胁迫梯度假说认为互利的强度或重要性随着环境胁迫度的增加而增加, 但是越来越多的经验研究认为胁迫梯度假说需要改进。以网格模型和影响域模型为例, 介绍了基于个体的植物间相互作用模型方法。基于个体模型, 对近年来国内外正相互作用对种群时间动态(如生物量-密度关系)、空间分布格局和群落结构(如群落生物量-物种丰富度关系)影响的研究进行了总结。指出未来的研究应集中在对正相互作用概念和机制的理解, 新的模型, 新的种群、群落, 甚至生态系统问题, 以及在全球变化背景下进行相关的研究。

NaCl胁迫下海马齿(Sesuvium portulacastrum L.)植株内游离脯氨酸的合成积累途径

以海马齿(Sesuvium portulacastrum L.)为材料,测定了在6个NaCl胁迫水平上(0、0.2、0.4、0.6、0.8、1.0mol· L-1)的植株内游离脯氨酸的含量及其δ-OAT、PSCS、POD、SOD等酶的活性.结果表明:在NaCl胁迫下,海马齿植株内游离脯氨酸积累量比CK显著地增多了14.5％～33.5％,δ-OAT和P5CS活性分别比对照(CK)增强3.1％～10.1％和26.7％ ～46.1％,因此,在NaCl胁迫下海马齿植株内游离脯氨酸合成积累的两个途径均被启动和发生合成积累作用,并表现出以Glu→Pro途径为主,Orn→Pro途径为辅;在5个NaCl胁迫水平上,海马齿植株内游离脯氨酸有显著的积累效应,在0.6 mol·L-1处理水平时达到积累量的高峰值.同时,δ-OAT、P5CS、POD、SOD等酶的活性呈现出与游离脯氨酸积累量有大致相同的变化趋势.     

锌胁迫下小麦SSH文库的构建及初步分析

Zn是植物必需的微量元素,同时也是近年来造成环境污染的重金属元素之一.为了从基因表达水平揭示小麦Zn胁迫响应的分子机制,本研究利用抑制差减杂交(suppression subtractive hybridization,SSH)技术构建了Zn胁迫（0.5 mmol/L,1 mmol/L）下小麦的正反向SSH文库.从正反向文库中随机挑选阳性单克隆,并利用通用引物T7/Sp6对其进行验证. 结果显示,正反库中分别获得307和821个EST序列,其片段长度在200～1 000 bp之间,它们反映了Zn胁迫下特异响应的基因.利用BLASTn和BLASTx将这些EST序列进行比对分析,在正、反库中分别筛选出221和641个uniESTs,其中751个uniESTs被注释（包括正库中193个和反库中558个）.这些序列的功能主要涉及信号转导、抗氧化防御、转录与翻译、物质运输、核糖体结构、能量代谢,以及一些功能未知的基因.     

Expression and signal regulation of the alternative oxidase genes under abiotic stresses

Plants in their natural environment frequently face various abiotic stresses, such as drought, high salinity, and chilling. Plant mitochondria contain an alternative oxidase （AOX）, which is encoded by a small family of nuclear genes. AOX genes have been shown to be highly responsive to abiotic stresses. Using transgenic plants with varying levels of AOX expression, it has been confirmed that AOX genes are im- portant for abiotic stress tolerance. Although the roles of AOX under abiotic stresses have been extensively studied and there are several excellent reviews on this topic, the differential expression patterns of the AOX gene family members and the signal regulation of AOX gene（s） under abiotic stresses have not been extensively summarized. Here, we review and discuss the current progress of these two important issues.

番茄AT-hook基因家族的鉴定及胁迫条件下的表达分析

AT-hook蛋白家族在植物生长发育、器官构建及逆境胁迫和激素信号应答中发挥重要作用。本研究在番茄基因组范围内,利用生物信息学方法对番茄AT-hook基因家族的成员、分布、结构和功能进行分析。结果表明,番茄AT-hook家族包含32个成员,分为3种类型,其中类型Ⅰ含有13个成员;遗传进化分析表明番茄AT-hook基因成员与拟南芥家族基因具有相似分类。利用实时荧光定量PCR对番茄32个基因开展组织表达分析,结果表明AT-hook基因具有表达差异,主要在根和花中表达较高。氧化胁迫分析结果表明,32个基因受ABA、SA、盐、高温和低温诱导表达,其中部分基因显著上调或下调表达,很可能参与了番茄逆境胁迫条件下的防御应答反应。本研究结果将为番茄AT-hook家族基因的深入研究提供依据,为进一步解析番茄AT-hook基因的功能奠定基础。     

高温胁迫对葡萄幼树叶绿素荧光特性和抗氧化酶活性的影响

为了探讨短期和长期高温处理后葡萄生理应答反应,本研究在人工气候室环境中模拟夏季高温发生时间段(10:00~16:00)对一年生盆栽葡萄‘夏黑’进行25°C、35°C、45°C温度处理,测定处理6 h时(短期)和150 h时(长期)功能叶片的叶绿素荧光动力学及抗氧化酶活性。结果显示:在35°C处理6 h时‘夏黑’叶片ΨEo、ΦEo、ETo/RC显著上升;45°C处理6 h时‘夏黑’各荧光参数表现出显著性差异,而在150 h时主要荧光参数恢复至原初水平;高温处理下‘夏黑’的叶绿素含量和SOD酶活增长趋势较不明显;35°C/45°C处理均导致抗氧化酶活性POD和CAT以及过氧化物产物MDA(丙二醇)表现出较强的增长趋势。综上可知,短期高温处理(6 h)‘夏黑’叶片PSII活性遭到破坏,但是长期高温处理(150 h)‘夏黑’的PSII活性得到恢复,推测‘夏黑’有较强高温逆境适应能力;高温逆境打破‘夏黑’氧化还原平衡,MDA含量增加。这些结果对于了解葡萄在高温胁迫下的耐受能力具有参考价值。     

Effects of groundwater salinity on the characteristics of leaf photosynthesis and stem sap flow in Tamarix chinensis

AimsThe objective of this study was to investigate the change pattern of leaves photosynthesis and stem sap flow of Tamarix chinensisin under different groundwater salinity, which can be served as a theoretical basis and technical reference for cultivation and management of T. chinensis in shallow groundwater table around Yellow River Delta.MethodsThree-year-old T. chinensis, one of the dominated species in Yellow River Delta, was selected. Plants were treated by four different salinity concentrations of groundwater—fresh water (0 g∙L^-1), brackish water (3.0 g∙L^-1), saline water (8.0 g∙L^-1), and salt water (20.0 g∙L^-1) under 1.2 m groundwater level. Light response of photosynthesis and the diurnal courses of leaf transpiration rate, stem sap flux velocity and environment factors under different groundwater salinity were determined via LI-6400XT portable photosynthesis system and a Dynamax packaged stem sap flow gauge based on stem-heat balance method, respectively.Important findings The result showed that groundwater salinity had a significant impact on photosynthesis efficiency and water consumption capacity of T. chinensis by influencing the soil salt. The net photosynthetic rate (P_n), maximum P_n, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, apparent quantum yield and dark respiration rate increased first and then decreased with increasing groundwater salinity, while the water use efficiency (WUE) continuously decreased. The mean P_n under fresh water, brackish water and salt water decreased by 44.1%, 15.1% and 62.6%, respectively, compared with that under saline water (25.90 µmol∙m^-2∙s^-1). The mean WUE under brackish water, saline water and salt water decreased by 25.0%, 29.2% and 41.7%, respectively, compared with that under fresh water (2.40 µmol∙mmol^-1). With the increase of groundwater salinity from brackish water to salt water, light saturation point of T. chinensisdecreased while the light compensation point increased, which lead to the decrease of light ecological amplitude and light use efficiency. Fresh water and brackish water treatment helped T. chinensis to use low or high level light, which could significantly improve the utilization rate of light energy. The decrease in P_n of T. chinensis was mainly due to non-stomatal limitation under treatment from saline water to fresh water, while the decrease in P_n of T. chinensis was due to stomatal limitation from saline water to salt water. With increasing groundwater salinity, stem sap flux velocity of T. chinensis increased firstly and then decreased, reached the maximum value under saline water. The mean stem sap flux velocity under fresh water, brackish water and salt water decreased by 61.8%, 13.1% and 41.9%, respectively, compared with that under saline water (16.96 g·h^-1). Tamarix chinensis had higher photosynthetic productivity under saline water treatment, and could attained high WUE under severe water deprivation by transpiration, which was suitable for the growth of T. chinensis.
