盐胁迫过程中抗坏血酸对植物的保护功能

以拟南芥抗坏血酸突变体 vtc- 1 和野生型 wt 为材料 ,研究了抗氧化系统对盐胁迫的响应机制 ,以揭示抗坏血酸 ASA 的抗氧化机理及对植物的保护功能 .结果显示 :10 0 mm ol/ L Na Cl处理 12、2 4、4 8、72 h,vtc- 1和 wt体内 MDA 丙二醛 及 H2 O2 过氧化氢 的含量均明显增加 ,但 vtc- 1增加的程度明显高于 wt,说明盐胁迫可能对vtc- 1造成了更严重的氧化伤害 .胁迫过程中 ,wt体内的几种抗氧化酶 [超氧化物歧化酶 SOD 、过氧化氢酶 CAT 、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶 APX ]活性均升高 ,而 vtc- 1体内 SOD、CAT活性降低 ,APX活性在胁迫 2 4 h之前增加 ,2 4 h之后降低 ;同时 ,vtc- 1中总的抗坏血酸含量和还原型谷胱甘肽 /氧化型谷胱甘肽 GSH/ GSSG 的比值下降 ,而 wt与此相反 .本研究表明 :抗坏血酸参与活性氧 AOS 的代谢 ,减轻 AOS对植物的伤害 ;并可能对植物细胞内的抗氧化酶具有调节作用 ,增强逆境胁迫下植物的抗逆能力 ,对植物有重要的生物学保护功能

Protective of ascorbic acid against salt stress

We examined the response of antioxidant system in ascorbic acid mutant of Arabidopsis to salt stress so as to reveal the biological function of ascorbic acid. The results showed that the contents of MDA and H_2O_2 increased more dramatically in vtc-1 than that in wt under salt stress. The activities of SOD, and CAT decreased under salt stress, and that of APX increased in first 24 h and decreased after 24 h in vtc-1, but all these enzymatic activities were enhanced in wt by 100 mmol/L NaCl treatment. The amount of ASA and the values of GSH/GSSG decreased in vtc-1, but increased in wt after NaCl treatment. These results suggested that ascorbic acid played an important role in the regulation of growth and may convey resistance to salt stress.
