蚕豆叶片尿囊素酶性质初探

酰尿输出型蚕豆有一定程度合成和同化酰脲的能力(刘承宪和黄维南1987a),蚕豆叶片尿囊素酶(B-ALNase)和酰脲输出型大豆叶片尿囊素酶(S-ALNase)(Thomas等1983)不同,是热敏感的(刘承宪和黄维南 1987b)。我们进一步分离和纯化B-ALNase,并作了初步的鉴     

蚕豆叶片发育与衰老过程中超氧物歧化酶活性与丙二醛含量变化

蚕豆植株叶片随茎节自上而下表现出明显的发育与衰老顺序,可作为衰老特征的是叶绿素和蛋白质含量明显下降。蚕豆叶中SOD活性主要定位于12 000× g离心后所得的上清液和叶绿体组分。衰老叶片的SOD总活性和叶绿体组分的相对活性都有所下降,SOD同工酶谱也发生了改变。O_2~ 产生速率随叶龄增大而稍上升;而MDA含量在叶片外观表现枯黄衰老征兆前就急剧上升。可能因为衰老叶片过氧化氢酶活性大幅度下降与SOD之间的不平衡,致使O_2~ 代谢中间产物累积而引起膜的损伤.     

A laboratory-based method to measure relative pesticide and spray oil efficacy against broad mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks)(Acari: Tarsonemidae)

Six pesticides and two spray oils were tested against Polyphagotarsonemus latus. The chemicals were evaluated under laboratory conditions, requiring the development of a novel bioassay method, which is reported here. The pesticide toxicities fell into three distinct groups, namely abamectin, conventional pesticides and oils. The relative pesticide toxicities at the LC₅₀ level were abamectin 4.9×10^-8 g ai l^-1, endosulfan 1.1×10^-3 g ai l^-1, fenpyroximate 2.3×10^-3 g ai l^-1, pyridaben 4.1×10^-3 g ai l^-1, tebufenpyrad 4.4×10^-3 g ai l^-1, dicofol 4.5×10^-3 g ai l^-1, petroleum spray oil 3.4×10^-1 g ai l^-1 and canola oil 4.1×10^-1 g ai l^-1. The calculation of the LC_99.9 values allows for resistance monitoring in P. latus and the suggested discriminating concentrations are abamectin 1.0×10^-4 g ai l^-1; endosulfan, pyridaben and dicofol 1.0×10^-1 g ai l^-1 fenpyroximate and tebufenpyrad 5.0×10^-1 g ai l^-1.     

Turgor-dependent unloading of assimilates from coats of developing legume seed. Assessment of the significance of the phenomenon in the whole plant

The in vivo significance of turgor-dependent unloading was evaluated by examining assimilate transport to and within intact developing seeds of Phaseolus vulgaris (cv. Redland Pioneer) and Vicia faba (cv. Coles Prolific). The osmotic potentials of the seed apoplast were low. As a result, the osmotic gradients to the seed coat symplast were relatively small (i.e. 0.1 to 0.3 MPa). Sap concentrations of sucrose and potassium in the seed apoplast and coat symplast accounted for some 45 to 60% of the osmotic potentials of these compartments. Estimated turnover times of potassium and sucrose in the seed apoplast of < 1 h were some 5 to 13 times faster than the respective turnover times in the coat symplast pools. The small osmotic gradient between the seed apoplast and coat symplast combined with the relatively rapid turnover of solutes in the apoplast pool, confers the potential for a small change in assimilate uptake by the cotyledons to be rapidly translated into an amplified shift in the cell turgor of the seed coat. Observed adjustments in the osmotic potentials of solutions infused between the coat and cotyledons of intact seed were consistent with the in vivo operation of turgor-dependent unloading of solutes from the coat. Homeostatic regulation of turgor-dependent unloading was indicated by the maintenance of apoplast osmotic potentials of intact seeds when assimilate balance was manipulated by partial defoliation or elevating pod temperature. In contrast, osmotic potentials of the coat symplast adjusted upward to new steady values over a 2 to 4 h period. The resultant downward shift in coat cell turgor could serve to integrate phloem import into the seed coat with the new rates of efflux to the seed apoplast. Circumstantial evidence for this linkage was suggested by the approximate coincidence of the turgor changes with those in stem levels of ³²P used to monitor phloem transport. The results obtained provide qualified support for the in vivo operation of a turgor homeostat mechanism. It is proposed that the homeostat functions to integrate assimilate demand by the cotyledons with efflux from and phloem import into the coats of developing legume seed.     

NMR imaging of root water distribution in intact Vicia faba L plants in elevated atmospheric CO2

The effect of elevated atmospheric CO₂ on water distribution in the intact roots of Vicia faba L. bean seedlings grown in natural soil was studied noninvasively with proton (¹H) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging. Exposure of 24-d-old plants to atmospheric CO₂-enriched air at 650 cm³ m^?3 produced significant increases in water imaged in upper roots, hypogeal cotyledons and lower stems in response to a short-term drying-stress cycle. Above ground, drying produced negligible stem shrinkage and stomatal resistance was unchanged. In contrast, the same drying cycle caused significant depletion of water imaged in the same upper root structures in control plants subject to ambient CO₂ (350 m³ m^?3), and stem shrinkage and increased stomatal resistance. The results suggest that inhibition of transpiration caused by elevated CO₂ does not necessarily result in attenuation of water transport from lower root structures. Inhibition of water loss from upper roots and lower stem in elevated CO₂ environments may be a mitigating factor in assessing deleterious effects of greenhouse changes on crops during periods of dry climate.
