内源脱落酸和赤霉素对番茄发育果实和种子水分关系的影响

利用热偶湿度计（ｔｈｅｒｍｏｃｏｕｐｌｅｐｓｙｃｈｒｏｍｅｔｅｒ）研究了野生型、ＧＡ－缺陷型和ＡＢＡ－缺陷型番茄发育过程中果实种子的水分关系,发现除ＡＢＡ－缺陷型种子胶囊和果肉水势变化特殊外,３种类型果实水分状况变化基本一致;在整个发育时期内．前期种子胶囊和果肉水分流向种子,中期种子水分流向种子胶囊和果肉,后期种子和果实间的水势达到平衡。鉴于种胚脱水是一种主动过程,种胚水势一直低于整个种子、种子胶囊和果肉。内源赤霉素可明显增加果实和种子的重量,但对增加种胚溶质的作用不大。由于内源脱落酸可以促使果实成熟和衰老,促进果实细胞解体,大大降低种子胶囊和果肉水势,因而抑制成熟种子在果实内萌发。     

海甘蓝种子成熟过程中脂肪酸含量以及脱落酸和山梨醇的效应

海甘蓝种子在成熟过程中,棕榈酸、硬脂酸和亚麻酸的含量不断下降,而二十碳烯酸和芥酸的含量呈上升趋势。选用开花后２５～２７ｄ的海甘蓝幼胚分别在含不同浓度的ＡＢＡ或高渗透剂的培养基中培养１～３ｄ,发现其各种脂肪酸的变化趋势和种子自然成熟过程中脂肪酸的变化相似,说明ＡＢＡ或高渗透剂可能是种子成熟过程中各种脂肪酸合成和相互转化所需的条件。     

玉米根微粒体ABA结合蛋白的性质及逆境胁迫的影响

以玉米根微粒体为材料进行的微量放射配体结合（ＭＲＬＢ）实验表明玉米根微粒体膜上存在着ＡＢＡ结合位点,ＡＢＡ与ＡＢＡ结合蛋白（ＡＢＡ－ＢＰ）结合的最适ｐＨ为６．５,结合反应对温度（０℃和２５℃）不太敏感,ＡＢＡ与ＡＢＡ－ＢＰ的结合反应是一个动态平衡过程,５ｍｉｎ即可达最大结合（Ｂｍａｘ）的５０％,３０ｍｉｎ达到最大结合,１ｈ内基本保持不变。胰蛋白酶处理表明此结合位点为蛋白质,冻融实验则表明此蛋白与ＡＢＡ的结合不仅要求其自身具有特定构象而且需要有一定的膜脂环境,ＤＴＴ处理实验结果显示ＡＢＡ－ＢＰ中可能存在着二硫键。逆境处理可以提高玉米根微粒体膜对ＡＢＡ的结合活性,盐胁迫、渗透胁迫、干旱胁迫和热冲激处理分别使结合活性上升３４．９％、１７．８％、２３．１％和１３．３％。

Influence of nitrate supply on concentrations and translocation of abscisic acid in barley (Hordeum vulgare)

Spring barley ( Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Golf) was grown at different nitrate supply rates, controlled by using the relative addition rate technique, in order to elucidate the relationship between nitrate-N supply and root and shoot levels of abscisic acid (ABA). The plants were maintained as (1) standard cultures where nitrate was supplied at relative addition rates (RAs) of 0.03, 0.09 and 0.18 day⁻¹, and (2) split-root cultures at RA 0.09 day⁻¹ but with the nitrate distributed between the two root parts in ratios of 100:0, 80:20 and 60:40. Time-dependent changes in root and shoot concentrations of ABA (determined by radioimmunoassay using a monoclonal antibody) were observed in both standard and split-root cultures during 12 days of acclimation to the different nitrate regimes. However, the ABA responses were similar at all nitrate supply rates. Further experiments were performed with split-root cultures where the distribution of nitrate between the two root parts was reversed from 80:20 to 20:80 so that short-term effects to local perturbations of nitrate supply could be studied without altering whole-plant N absorption. Transient increases in ABA concentrations (maximum of 25 to 40% after 3 to 4 h) were observed in both subroot parts, as well as in xylem sap and shoot tissue. By pruning the root system it was demonstrated that the change in ABA had its origin in the subroot part receiving the increased nitrate supply (i.e. switched from 20 to 80% of the total nitrate supply). The data indicate that ABA responses are easily transmitted between different organs, including transmission from one set of seminal roots to another via the shoot. The data do not provide any indication that long-term nitrate supplies or general nitrogen status of barley plants affect, or are otherwise related to, the average tissue ABA concentrations of roots and shoots.     

赤霉素与脱落酸对番茄种子萌发中细胞周期的调控

利用细胞流检仪检测番茄（Ｌｙｃｏｐｅｒｓｉｃｏｎ ｅｓｃｕｌｅｎｔｕｍ Ｍｉｌｌ．） ＧＡ－缺陷型、ＡＢＡ－缺陷型和相应的正常品种（野生型）成熟种子胚根尖细胞倍性水平时发现：ＧＡ－缺陷型和野生型种子绝大多数细胞ＤＮＡ 水平为２Ｃ,而ＡＢＡ－缺陷型种子则含有较多的４Ｃ细胞。在标准发芽条件下,ＡＢＡ－缺陷型和野生型种子浸种１ ｄ 后胚根尖细胞ＤＮＡ 开始复制,随后胚根突破种皮而发芽。然而ＧＡ－缺陷型种子除非加入外源ＧＡ,否则既不发生细胞ＤＮＡ 复制,也不发芽。这说明内源ＧＡ 是启动番茄种子胚根尖细胞ＤＮＡ 复制的关键因素,同时也说明番茄根尖细胞ＤＮＡ 复制是种子发芽的必要条件。实验证明：ＡＢＡ 不抑制细胞ＤＮＡ 合成,但阻止Ｇ２ 细胞进入到Ｍ 期。外源ＡＢＡ处理野生型种子与渗控处理结果相似,可以大幅度提高胚根尖４Ｃ／２Ｃ细胞的比例,但抑制种子的最终发芽     

玉米根ABA结合蛋白的亚细胞定位及动力学性质

以玉米（Ｚｅａ ｍａｙｓＬ．）根或胚芽鞘为材料,经匀浆、分级离心得到胞质部分和膜部分（微粒体）,进一步用６．２％ （Ｗ／Ｗ ） Ｄｅｘｔｒａｎ Ｔ５００ 和ＰＥＧ ３３５０ 两相系统制备质膜,用１％ 和８％ （Ｗ ／Ｗ） Ｄｅｘｔｒａｎ Ｔ７０ 梯度离心制备液泡膜． 电镜鉴定及多种标志酶检测表明,制备获得了高纯度正向型质膜和富含液泡膜的组分,其它内膜的污染很少． 用微量放射配体结合（ＭＲＬＢ）实验证明,玉米根微粒体的ＡＢＡ专一性结合位点主要分布在液泡膜和质膜上,这两种膜组分与ＡＢＡ 的特异结合活性分别为２４８５．４ ｆｍ ｏｌ／ｍ ｇ ｐｒｏｔｅｉｎ 和１２５７．３ ｆｍ ｏｌ／ｍ ｇ ｐｒｏ－ｔｅｉｎ,玉米根段胞质部分结合活性最低（差一个数量级）．质膜上ＡＢＡ－ＢＰ与ＡＢＡ 的结合平衡解离常数（ＫＤ）为１．５７ ｎｍ ｏｌ／Ｌ．     

番茄种子发芽及渗控处理过程中的水分关系

干燥番茄（Ｌｙｃｏｐｅｒｓｉｃｏｎ ｅｓｃｕｌｅｎｔｕｍ Ｍｉｌｌ． ｃｖ． Ｍｏｎｅｙｍ ａｋｅｒ）种子浸种吸水有明显的３ 个阶段,尽管种子不同部分吸水的速度不一样,但整粒种子需１０～１２ ｈ 才能基本完成第一阶段的吸水。胚乳对种胚伸长和生长的机械压力明显阻碍种胚的吸水,即使在第二阶段整个种子水势与浸种溶液基本达到水分平衡时,种胚的水势仍然低于整个种子水势０．６～０．９ ＭＰａ。发芽过程中ＧＡ 和ＡＢＡ不直接影响番茄种子吸水。番茄种胚水势与含水量的关系呈幂指数的正相关。无论在浸种还是渗控处理过程中,番茄种胚压力势的总变化趋势是下降的     

脱落酸对植物线粒体膜生物物理特性的影响

采用１,６－二苯基－１,３,５－已三乙烯（ＤＰＨ）荧光偏振法和中性红法分别研究了脱落酸（ＡＢＡ）对玉米黄化芽及大豆子叶离体线粒体膜的微粘度（η）、表面电位（ψ）等生物物理特性的影响。结果表明：ＡＢＡ有降低线粒体膜的微粘度及提高线粒体膜的表面电位作用,并导致呼吸速率升高,呼吸控制和氧化磷酸化偶联下降。ＡＢＡ对线粒体膜微粘度的作用具有浓度饱和效应;ＡＢＡ对线粒体膜表面电位的提高作用,因植物不同而有差异,对玉米的作用要大于对大豆的。追踪线粒体Ａ（３５０）值的变化,还证实,ＡＢＡ提高了大豆线粒体的Ａ（３５０）值,即导致大豆线粒体的相互聚集（ａｇｇｒｅｇａｔｉｏｎ）。     

Improvement of anther culture technique: Activated charcoal bound in agar medium in combination with liquid medium and elevated CO2 concentration

Anthers of different species of the genera Anemone, Clematis, Papaver and Nicotiana were cultured by floating on a liquid medium which overlay an agarified charcoal medium . This technique proved to be superior to conventional methods i.e. culture on either solid or liquid media. Cold treatment of Anemone anthers for 7 days after inoculation on the double layer medium gave about the same frequency of embryos per anther as corresponding cultures cold treated before inoculation. An elevation of the CO₂ concentration to 2% stimulated embryogenesis in anther cultures of Anemone canadensis, Anemone vitifolia, Papaver setigerum and Papaver radicatum . Cold treatment of cultures of Anemone canadensis inhibited embryogenesis if the ensuing culture was performed in 2% CO_2. On the other hand, cold treatment was stimulating, with an optimum of about 20 days, if the cultures were maintained in normal air. Chemical analysis of untreated anthers of Anemone canadensis showed the presence of abscisic acid (2.2 × 10⁻⁶ g/g anthers). Cold treatment reduced the concentration of abscisic acid to 0.6 × 10⁻⁶ g/g anthers. By use of assays with Lemna gibba as test organism, activated charcoal was shown to adsorb abscisic acid that was added to the medium. Medium treated with charcoal before inoculation of anthers of Anemone canadensis provided to inhibit embryo production.
