外源一氧化氮对镉胁迫下玉米幼苗根生长及氧化伤害的影响

以玉米幼苗为材料,通过在镉处理的同时补充外源一氧化氮(NO)供体硝普钠(SNP)及其类似物[K3Fe(CN)6]、以及NO消除剂,分析NO对植物耐镉性的影响,探讨NO在植物逆境胁迫响应中的作用及其机理。结果显示:添加20μmol·L-1 SNP能显著降低镉引发的玉米幼苗根生长抑制及根尖内源镉的积累,减少电解质的渗漏以及超氧化物自由基(O2.-)和过氧化氢(H2O2)的上升幅度,抑制超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)活性的增加,进一步提高镉胁迫下谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)的活性。SNP的上述效应可被NO消除剂2-(4-羧基-2-苯基)-4,4,5,5-四甲基咪唑-1-氧-3-氧化物(cPTIO)所逆转,而SNP类似物K3Fe(CN)6的应用对上述反应几乎无影响,说明该反应具有NO特异性。研究表明,外源NO能够显著缓解镉胁迫对玉米幼苗生长造成的伤害,该缓解作用主要是通过降低植株体内内源镉积累和减轻镉诱发的氧化伤害来实现的。     

Effect of leaf water status and xylem pH on metabolism of xylem-transported abscisic acid

Metabolism and distribution of xylem-fed ABA were investigated in leaves of maize (Zea mays) and Commelina communis when water stress and xylem pH manipulation were applied. ³H-ABA was fed to excised leaves via the transpiration stream. Water stress was applied through either a previous soil-drying before leaves were excised, or a quick dehydration after leaves were fed with ABA. Xylem-delivered ABA was metabolised rapidly in the leaves (half-life 0.7 h and 1.02 h for maize and Commelina respectively), but a previous soil-drying or a post-feeding dehydration significantly extended the half-life of fed ABA in both species. In the first few hours after ABA was fed into the detached leaves, percentages of applied ABA remaining unmodified were always higher in leaves which received water stress treatments than in control leaves. However the percentage decreased to below the control levels several hours later in leaves which received a previous soil-drying treatment prior to excision, but had then been rehydrated by the xylem-feeding process itself. One possible explanation for this could be a changed pattern of compartmentalisation for xylem-carried ABA. A post-feeding dehydration treatment also changed the distribution of xylem-fed ABA within the leaves: more ABA was found in the epidermis of Commelina leaves which had been dehydrated rapidly after ABA had been fed, compared to the controls. The levels of xylem-delivered ABA remaining unmodified increased as the pH of the feeding solution increased from 5 to 8. The results support the hypothesis that water stress and a putative stress-induced xylem pH change may modify stomatal sensitivity to ABA by changing the actual ABA content of the leaf epidermis.

2002～2004年间从国内养殖鲤科鱼类和观赏鱼类中分离出8株鲤春血症病毒(SVCV).根据SVCV参考株全序列,设计引物,用逆转录聚合酶链式反应扩增出8株SVCV糖蛋白编码基因片段,并对扩增产物进行了克隆和序列测定.用生物信息学方法对测得的序列进行分析,结果8个国内分离株的糖蛋白基因序列与参考株的基因序列相似性均在92%以上,8个国内分离株之间基因序列相似性均在97.7%以上;8个国内分离株之间糖蛋白推导出的氨基酸序列相似性均在94.5%以上,与参考株氨基酸序列相似性在92.9%-94.9%之间.系统发育树分析结果表明,SVCV国内分离株与USA株、980451株、980528株和970469株的进化方向一致,与其它SVCV毒株在进化方向上不同.8个毒株有19个共同的酶切位点,推导出的氨基酸序列中有10个亲水区、10个可能的抗原位点和10个跨膜蛋白区域,其峰值基本一致.对SVCV国内分离株的糖蛋白6个功能位点(天冬酰胺糖基化位点、精氨酸-甘氨酸-天冬氨酸序列、酪蛋白激酶Ⅱ磷酸化位点、蛋白激酶C磷酸化位点、酪氨酸磷酸化位点和肉豆蔻酰基化位点)进行了初步分析.     

锌对不同基因型玉米幼苗碳氮代谢的影响

选用不同耐锌玉米品种‘四单19’（低锌敏感型）和‘牡丹9’（低锌不敏感型）,采用营养液水培,研究不同锌浓度对碳酸酐酶（CA）活性、光合特性、可溶性糖含量等的影响。结果表明：玉米对锌具有选择运输的能力,当锌浓度过大对幼苗造成伤害时,根系吸收的锌向地上部运输的比例减少,以减少过量的锌对地上部造成的伤害。锌与CA活性密切相关,而CA活性与净光合速率的变化并非密切相关。低锌和高锌均显著增加了‘四单19’的可溶性糖含量,而‘牡丹9’的可溶性糖含量在缺锌与低锌处理下增加幅度并不明显,但在高锌处理下可溶性糖含量迅速增加。低锌和高锌处理都显著降低了‘四单19’叶片的蛋白质含量,而‘牡丹9’低锌处理下叶片可溶性蛋白含量下降并不明显,但在高锌处理下叶片可溶性蛋白含量大幅度下降。低锌处理下,‘四单19’的蛋白质合成受到抑制,而游离氨基酸大量积累,明显抑制了植株的生长;‘牡丹9’的蛋白质和氨基酸含量变化较小。     

Water stress effects on leaf elongation,leaf water potential,transpiration, and nutrient uptake of rice,maize, and soybean

A pot experiment was conducted in the greenhouse to determine and compare the responses of rice (Oryza sativa L. var, IR 36), maize (Zea mays L. var. DMR-2), and soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. var. Clark 63) to soil water stress. Leaf elongation, dawn leaf water potential, transpiration rate, and nutrient uptake in stressed rice declined earlier than in maize and soybean. Maize and soybean, compared with rice, maintained high dawn leaf water potential for a longer period of water stress before leaf water potential. Nutrient uptake under water stress conditions was influenced more by the capacity of the roots to absorb nutrients than by transpiration. Transport of nutrients to the shoots may occur even at reduced transpiration rate It is concluded that the ability of maize and soybean to grow better than rice under water stress conditions may be due to their ability to maintain turgor as a result of the slow decline in leaf water potential brought about by low, transpiration rate and continued uptake of nutrient, especially K, which must have allowed osmotic adjustment to occur.     

Production of Polyamines Is Enhanced by Endogenous Abscisic Acid in Maize Seedlings Subjected to Salt Stress

It is known that salt stress and exogenously applied abscisic acid （ABA） can enhance the polyamine content in plants and that salt stress itself can lead to an increase in endogenous ABA production. In the present study, the relationships between salt-induced ABA and polyamine accumulation were inves- tigated using ABA-deficient mutant （vp5/vp5） maize （Zea mays L.） seedlings and ABA and polyamine biosynthesis inhibitors. The results show that reduced endogenous ABA levels, as a result of either the mutation or by using a chemical inhibitor （sodium tungstate）, also reduced the accumulation of polyamines in salt-stressed leaves of maize seedlings. The polyamine synthesis inhibitors D-arginine and α- difluoromethylornithine also reduced the polyamine content of the leaves of maize seedling under salt stress. Both ABA and polyamine enhanced the dry weight accumulation of salt-stressed seedlings and also increased the activities of the two dominant tonoplast membrane enzymes, H^＋-ATPase and H^＋-PPase, when plants were under salt stress. The results suggest that salt stress induces an increase in endogenous ABA levels, which then enhances polyamine synthesis. Such responses may increase a plant＇s tolerance to salt.     

不同杂种优势类群玉米幼胚愈伤组织的诱导及植株再生特性的研究

以Reid、唐四平头和其它种质等3个杂种优势类群共19份玉米自交系为试验材料,以玉米幼胚作为外植体,研究了基因型、培养基和激素对玉米幼胚愈伤组织的诱导及植株再生的影响,结果表明供试材料均能进行愈伤组织的诱导,但是仅有12个自交系能再生植株。N6和改良N6培养基有助于提高愈伤组织的质量及其生长速度,2,4-D在愈伤组织的诱导中起着关键性作用。在诱导培养基中添加0.2mg／L的6-BA或KT会使胚性愈伤组织的诱导频率下降以及降低愈伤组织的质量。在胚状体诱导培养基中添加1mg／L的KT能促进绿苗的分化,但是浓度过高会使丛生苗分化过多。此外,通过对不同杂种优势类群自交系玉米幼胚培养特性的分析,发现在唐四平头类群的4个自交系中,黄早四的绿苗分化率仅为0.5％,其它3个自交系不能再生植株。但是,从Reid和其它种质类群的供试自交系中筛选出了胚性愈伤组织的诱导频率和绿苗分化率均较高的、适合于遗传转化的受体材料,如3189／4380、4380／陕综5、8103、先早17、18-599红、18-599白、501、178和冀53。

Invertase and maltase in the free space of the maize scutellum

When maize scutellum slices were incubated in solutions of sucrose or maltose, there was a release of glucose into the bathing solution. The pH optima for glucose release were 2.5 for sucrose and 3.5 for maltose. From measurement of rates of glucose uptake into slices in the presence or absence of sucrose, it is calculated that glucose uptake will introduce errors of 3–9%, depending on the sucrose concentration, in estimates of free-space sucrose-hydrolase activity at pH 2.5. At their respective pH optima, maltose was hydrolysed at a rate 2.5 times that of sucrose. When frozen-thawed slices were used the same pH optima were obtained, but rates of hydrolysis were increased. Raffinose and melezitose also were hydrolysed with pH optima of 2.5 and 3.5, respectively. α-Methyl glucose was not hydrolysed. A 60-min HCl treatment (pH 2) of scutellum slices destroyed 69% of the sucrose-hydrolase activity and 100% of the maltose-hydrolase activity. In contrast, sucrose uptake and sucrose synthesis from exogenous fructose were not affected by HCl treatment. It is concluded that there are two hydrolases, acid invertase and maltase; that they are either on or outside the plasmalemma (in the free space); and that they are not necessary to the disaccharide uptake processes either by supplying exogenous hexose or by acting as transporters.     

干旱胁迫下大豆与玉米叶片光破坏的防御

随干旱强度的增加,大豆叶片光呼吸速率（Pr）降低的幅度小于Pn,使Pr／Pn比率升高。在轻度及中度干旱下,PSII光化学效率（Fv／Fm）能在暗置后较快地恢复。随干旱强度的增加,叶片光化学猝灭系数下降,非光化学猝死系数升高。干旱使叶片β－胡萝卜素及紫黄质含量下降,而玉米黄质含量（Z）与叶黄素库增加。与大豆相比,玉米在干旱条件下具有较高的Z含量和较大的叶黄素库。
