镉、硒处理对碎米荠生长和生理特性的影响研究

通过水培法研究不同浓度镉、硒离子溶液处理对碎米荠(Cardamine Flexuosa)生长和生理特性的影响。结果表明:高浓度镉、硒溶液使碎米荠植株地上部分鲜重、株高、根长、叶片大小等生物量明显下降,低浓度镉、硒能促进植株地上部分生物量的增加。随着镉、硒浓度的增加,植株的叶绿素a、b及类胡萝卜素含量整体呈显著降低趋势;其中在5、10μmol L~(-1)浓度硒处理时,植株叶片中类胡萝卜素含量显著高于对照组。与对照相比,镉处理时植株叶片中叶绿素a/b值降低,类胡萝卜素占总光合色素含量的比值无明显变化;硒处理下,叶绿素a/b值无明显变化规律,类胡萝卜素占比呈上升趋势。在镉处理下,碎米荠植株的抗氧化酶系统中CAT和POD活性显著升高,SOD活性则呈先降低后升高的趋势;在硒处理下,SOD总体呈不断升高的趋势,CAT总体呈先降低后升高的趋势(15μmol L-1处理除外),POD则总体呈先升高后降低的趋势;镉、硒浓度相同时,植株体内抗氧化酶对硒处理敏感性更强,变化幅度大于镉处理。     

硅处理对镉锌胁迫下水稻产量及植株生理特性的影响

以郑稻18为材料,通过盆栽试验研究了镉(Cd)、锌(Zn)污染胁迫和硅(Si)处理对水稻产量、不同生育时期植株生理特性的影响,从而揭示硅缓解Cd、Zn胁迫的生理机制。结果表明,水稻植株受到Cd、Zn毒害时,不同生育期植株生物量、产量、叶片叶绿素含量及可溶性蛋白质含量均显著下降,而叶片质膜透性、丙二醛(MDA)含量、可溶性糖含量和过氧化物(POD)活性显著增加。施硅处理显著提高水稻植株对重金属的抗性,主要反映在植株生物量显著增加,叶片叶绿素含量及可溶性蛋白质含量显著上升,而叶片质膜透性、MDA含量、POD活性和可溶性糖含量显著降低,产量显著增加,说明硅缓解植株体内重金属毒害的代谢机制与其对抗氧化酶系统的调控作用及作物抗性的提高有关。     

稀土元素铈缓解镉对菱叶的毒害效应研究

利用不同浓度的Cd^2＋和不同浓度的Cd^2＋加5mgL^-1Ce^3＋分别处理菱植株，对菱叶中的叶绿素、脯氨酸、保护酶——超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、过氧化物酶（POD）和过氧化氢酶（CAT）活性的动态变化进行了研究：实验结果表明：在镉胁迫下，随着镉浓度的上升（0～4mgL^-1）菱叶中叶绿素含量下降，SOD、POD活性和脯氨酸含量在镉低浓度时上升而高浓度时下降，相反，CAT活性在镉低浓度时下降而高浓度时上升。与镉离子单一处理相比，Cd^2＋-Ce^3＋复合处理中的Ce^3＋可提高叶片中叶绿素的含量和SOD、POD的活性，尤其是在1mgL^-1 Cd^2＋加5mgL^-1Ce^3＋复合处理中，POD活性较对照提高了8．33倍。由此表明，5mgL^-1Ce^3＋对低浓度镉引起菱叶片的毒害作用有较为明显的缓解效果。     

高温干旱共胁迫下外源甜菜碱和CaCl2对烟草生理响应的影响

以烤烟品种云烟85为材料,采用盆栽试验研究了对高温干旱共胁迫的反应,以及外源甜菜碱（GB）和CaCl2对烟草抗高温干旱共胁迫方面的作用。结果表明,叶面喷施GB和CaCl2能显著提高烟草植株生物量。在高温干旱共胁迫下,叶面喷施GB较蒸馏水处理能极显著提高烟草叶片叶绿素含量、SOD和POD活性,维持较高的脯氨酸含量及较低的丙二醛（MDA）含量和质膜相对透性;叶面喷施CaCl2较蒸馏水处理能极显著提高烟草叶片叶绿素含量、SOD和POD活性,极显著降低质膜相对透性,显著降低丙二醛（MDA）含量,维持较高的脯氨酸含量。高温干旱共胁迫恢复生长后,GB、CaCl2和蒸馏水处理的烟草其叶绿素含量、SOD和POD活性均有不同程度回升,丙二醛含量、脯氨酸含量、细胞质膜透性都有所下降。因此,GB和CaCl2对有效减轻双逆境胁迫引起的伤害,提高烟草的抗高温干旱胁迫能力具有积极的作用。     

不同浓度镉胁迫对玉米幼苗光合作用、脂质过氧化和抗氧化酶活性的影响

以玉米为材料,通过营养液培养试验,研究浓度为5~100 μmol/L的镉胁迫后不同时间内,植株体内活性氧代谢及其抗氧化酶活性的变化特征,探讨镉胁迫导致植物体内活性氧自由基累积的原因及不同程度镉胁迫对植物体内活性氧代谢的影响。随着加镉量的增加,玉米地上部生物量明显降低,而根部生物量未表现出差异。镉处理降低了叶片光合作用速率,高镉处理的影响较早。镉处理4d后,5、20、和100 mol/L Cd2+浓度处理玉米叶片Fv/Fm减小,PSII系统的原初光能转换效率下降,但比光合作用速率下降的时间要晚;镉处理7d的叶片中丙二醛（MDA）含量还没有受到明显影响,但20和100 μmol/L Cd2+处理4d后,根系膜质过氧化增强,MDA含量升高。随着镉浓度升高,处理时间延长,活性氧酶清除系统包括超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、过氧化物酶（POD）、过氧化氢酶（CAT）和谷胱甘肽还原酶（GR）等酶活性明显增加,受到镉胁迫诱导,高浓度镉处理该现象出现更早。本文试验结果表明,镉胁迫下植物体内活性氧形成增多,诱导活性氧酶清除系统活性升高,其中一个重要原因是与CO2同化受到限制有关。     

镉对玉米苗中钙调蛋白含量和Ca2+-ATPase 活性的影响

试验采用营养液培养的方法,以玉米为试材,研究了不同供镉浓度（0、5、20和100μmol／L）和处理时间（12、2,4、48、96、168h）对植株体内钙调蛋白（CaM）含量及生物膜上的Ca^2＋＋ATPase活性的影响。结果表明,植株可溶性Ca^2＋含量在镉胁迫后较不加镉处理增加,镉处理在叶和根中分别在48和24h后达最高,然后随镉处理浓度和处理时间的增加逐步下降;同时镉诱导了植株CaM的合成,其含量随镉处理浓度和处理时间增加逐步增加,但20μmol／L和100μmol／L镉处理在168h后有所下降;与不加镉处理相比,镉胁迫导致植株生物膜上的Ca^2＋-ATPase活性迅速升高,但随镉处理浓度提高和时间延长,镉胁迫植株的Ca^2＋-ATPase活性在48h（质膜、液泡膜和内质网膜）和24h（线粒体膜）后逐步降低。各膜上的Ca^2＋-ATPase活性依次为质膜〉液泡膜〉内质网膜〉线粒体膜,且同一微囊膜,根中的活性大于叶中。     

硅作用下铜对小麦幼苗生理特性影响研究

通过水培试验,研究了在不同加硅量(0,30,60,90,120,150 mg/L,以SiO2计)作用下,铜(10 mg/L,以Cu计)对小麦幼苗叶绿素含量、抗氧化酶系统活性(SOD、POD、CAT)、脯氨酸含量、可溶性蛋白含量以及MDA含量的影响,结果表明:在加硅量(30,60,90 mg/L,以SiO2计)作用下,小麦幼苗叶绿素a含量、抗氧化酶系统(SOD、POD)活性、脯氨酸含量、可溶性蛋白含量的升高以及MDA含量的降低,减轻了铜对小麦幼苗的毒害作用;在加硅量150 mg/L作用下,小麦幼苗叶片可溶性蛋白含量的降低,MDA含量的升高,加重了铜对小麦幼苗的毒害作用。研究结果表明,加硅处理能够在一定浓度范围内缓解铜对小麦幼苗的毒害作用,从而为铜毒害的小麦区域增施硅肥提供理论依据。     

缺镁对菜豆幼苗膜脂过氧化及体内活性氧清除酶系统的影响

营养液中培养菜豆幼苗,缺镁菜豆植株生长受抑,生物量显著低于正常供应镁的植株,体内镁浓度和镁的积累总量均较低。严重缺镁黄化叶片中叶绿素含量下降。完整叶绿体的希尔反应值在缺镁与正常植株间无差别。缺镁菜豆植株的根和叶膜造性（以相对电导率表示）增加,叶片中丙二醛含量升高。活性氧清除酶系统:SOD、POD、CAT活性在缺镁菜豆真叶中高于正常植株,老叶中抗坏血醒过氧化物酶（AsA-POD）活性增加程度也较大。     

镉胁迫下钙对镉在玉米细胞中分布及对叶绿体结构与酶活性的影响

采用溶液培养试验、亚细胞组分分级分离技术、透射电子显微镜观察及生化分析等方法研究钙对镉胁迫下玉米根、叶组织镉的亚细胞分布、叶绿体超微结构及叶片RuBP 羧化酶和PEP 羧化酶活性的影响。结果表明,与缺钙加镉处理比较,镉毒害下添加钙,玉米根、叶细胞器和细胞质Cd 组分均显著下降,相应Ca 组分则显著增加,而细胞壁Cd 、Ca 含量各处理间均十分接近;镉毒害下添加钙,维管束鞘细胞基质片层及叶肉细胞基粒和基粒片层排列较好,维管束鞘细胞嗜锇粒大为减少,叶片RuBP和PEP羧化酶活性显著增加。说明Ca 对于Cd 胁迫下玉米叶片正常结构与功能的保持具有十分重要的意义。     

菜心耐Cd性的基因型差异及其机制研究

采用水培试验方法,研究不同品种菜心(31号、四九、石排)耐镉(Cd)能力的差异及其机制。结果表明,镉(1、3、6μg/mL)抑制菜心生长,使植株生物产量显著降低。地上部是镉对菜心毒害的主要部位,镉处理后菜心的根/冠比增加。镉处理使不同品种菜心叶片中的镉含量和丙二醛(MDA)含量增加,但不同品种菜心生长受镉影响的程度、叶片中的镉含量、MDA含量及过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性存在明显的基因型差异。镉(3、6μg/mL)处理后,四九菜心的相对生物量、POD活性和CAT活性最高而叶片中镉含量、MDA含量最低;相反,31号菜心的相对生物量、POD活性和CAT活性最低,而叶片中镉含量、MDA含量最高;石排菜心则介于二者之间。这些结果表明,四九菜心是耐镉品种,而31号菜心是对镉较敏感的品种,菜心耐镉性的差异与叶片对镉的积累量及抗氧化酶活性不同有关。     

Zinc alleviates growth inhibition and oxidative stress caused by cadmium in rice

A hydroponic experiment with two rice cultivars differing in cadmium (Cd) tolerance was conducted to investigate the alleviating effect of zinc (Zn) on growth inhibition and oxidative stress caused by Cd. Treatments consisted of all combinations of two Zn concentrations (0.2 and 1 μM), three Cd concentrations (0, 1, and 5 μM), and two rice cultivars (Bing 97252, Cd‐tolerant; Xiushui 63, Cd‐sensitive). Cd toxicity caused a dramatic reduction in plant height and biomass, chlorophyll concentration and photosynthetic rate, and an increase in Cd concentration in both roots and shoots, malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) activities in shoots. The response of all these parameters was much larger for Xiushui 63 than for Bing 97252. Addition of Zn to the medium solution alleviated Cd toxicity, which was reflected in a significant increase in plant height, biomass, chlorophyll concentration, and photosynthetic rate, and a marked decrease in MDA concentration and activity of anti‐oxidative enzymes. However, it was noted that Zn increased shoot Cd concentration at higher Cd supply, probably due to the enhancement of Cd translocation from roots to shoots. Therefore, further studies are necessary to determine the effect of Zn supply on Cd translocation from vegetative organs to grains or grain Cd accumulation before Zn fertilizer is applied to Cd‐contaminated soils to alleviate Cd toxicity in rice.     

外源NO对镉胁迫下长春花质膜过氧化ATP酶活性及光合特性的影响

为了解镉胁迫下外源NO对地被植物生理响应的调控机制,采用盆栽试验研究了外源NO（SNP）对镉胁迫下长春花幼苗生长、活性氧代谢、质膜ATP酶活性及光合特性的影响。结果表明,外施100μmol·L^-1SNP能缓解25mg·kg一镉胁迫对长春花幼苗生长的抑制,增加叶长、叶宽、株高、基径和生物量。与镉胁迫相比,施用SNP能够降低叶片和根系中丙二醛（MDA）、过氧化氢（H2O2）含量和过氧根离子自由基（O2^-·）产生速率,提高过氧化氢酶（CAT）、过氧化物酶（POD）、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性及还原型谷胱甘肽（GSH）含量。SNP能显著缓解镉胁迫对叶绿素a（Chla）、叶绿素b（Chlb）和总叶绿素的抑制,提高叶片净光合速率（Pn）、气孔导度（Gs）、蒸腾速率（Tr）和气孔限制值（Ls）,降低胞间CO2浓度（G）和瞬时光能利用效率（LUE）。同时,外源NO能诱导叶片和根系中质膜H＋-ATPase和Ca2＋-ATPase活性提升到正常水平（对照）。但外施100μmol·L-1 NO分解产物NaNOx或SNP相似物Na3Fe（CN）6对镉胁迫则无明显缓解作用。因此,外源NO可通过提高活性氧清除能力,增加叶绿素含量,增强质膜ATP酶活性,从而提高叶肉细胞光合能力,加强离子跨膜运输和信号转导,缓解镉胁迫对细胞质膜的损伤。     

RESPONSES OF SOME ENZYMES AND KEY GROWTH PARAMETERS OF SALT-STRESSED MAIZE PLANTS TO FOLIAR AND SEED APPLICATIONS OF KINETIN AND INDOLE ACETIC ACID

The study examined the effects of kinetin (KIN) and indoleacetic acid (IAA) applied as seed treatment or sprayed on leaves of salinity stressed plants. Five -week old maize (Zea mays L. cv. ‘DK 647 F1’) plants were grown in pots containing peat and perlite in 1:1 (v/v) mixture. Different treatments used were: 1) control (nutrient solution alone), 2) salt stress [100 mM sodium chloride (NaCl)], 3) 100 mM NaCl and 1 mM kinetin (KIN), 4) 100 mM NaCl and 2 mM KIN, 5) 100 mM NaCl and 1 mM indole acetic acid (IAA), 6) 100 mM NaCl and 2 mM IAA, 7) 100 mM NaCl and 25 mg L^?1 KIN and 8) 100 mM NaCl and 25 mg L^?1 IAA. In treatments 7 and 8 application was to the seeds, for treatments 3-6 it was applied to foliage. The seeds were soaked in KIN or IAA solution for 12 h. Salt stress reduced the total dry matter, chlorophyll content, and relative water content (RWC), but increased proline accumulation, activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD; EC 1.15.1.1), peroxidase (POD; EC. 1.11.1.7), catalase (CAT; EC. 1.11.1.6) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO; 1.10.3.1) and electrolyte leakage. Both foliar applications of KIN and IAA treatments overcame to variable extents the adverse effects of NaCl stress on the above mentioned physiological parameters. However, seed treatments with KIN or IAA did not improve salinity tolerance in maize plants. Furthermore, foliar application or seed treatments with KIN and IAA reduced the activities of antioxidant enzymes in the salt stressed-plants. Salt stress lowered some macronutrient concentrations [calcium (Ca) and potassium (K) in leaves and roots, phosphorus (P) in roots] but foliar application of both KIN and IAA increased Ca in both leaves and roots and P in leaves. Foliar application of IAA increased K concentrations in leaves of the salt-stressed plants. Foliar application of KIN and IAA, especially at 2 mM concentration, counteracted some of the adverse effects of NaCl salinity by causing the accumulation of proline and essential inorganic nutrients as well as by maintaining membrane permeability.     

不同光强下龙葵对镉的吸收积累及生理响应

采用土培方法探讨了不同光强（自然光和50%遮光）和镉（Cd）不同添加量（0、 25、 50、 75和100 mg/kg）复合处理下,龙葵对Cd的吸收累积特征,超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、 过氧化物酶（POD）、 过氧化氢酶（CAT）和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶（APX）活性以及叶绿素、 丙二醛（MDA）、 谷胱甘肽（GSH）和植物螯合肽（PCs）含量等的变化特征。结果表明, 自然光条件下龙葵叶绿素b、 叶绿素a+b以及地上和地下部Cd富集量均显著低于遮光处理; 叶和根的SOD、 POD、 CAT和APX活性在自然光条件下随土壤Cd添加量的增大先升后降,而在遮光处理下则持续升高; 除Cd 25 mg/kg处理时根POD及叶CAT活性在不同光强处理下没有显著差异外,其余Cd添加量处理下SOD、 POD、 CAT和APX活性在自然光条件下均显著高于遮光处理; 自然光条件下龙葵叶和根的MDA含量显著高于遮光处理,而叶和根的GSH含量和叶中PCs含量均显著低于遮光处理。研究结果表明,遮光环境促进了龙葵对Cd的富集,并且减轻了Cd对龙葵的氧化胁迫。     

Growth and Physiological Changes in Bitter-Gourd Plants Grown with Variable Calcium Supply in Sand Culture

Bitter-gourd (Momordica charantia L.) cv. ‘Jhallari’ plants were grown in refined sand at graded levels of calcium (Ca) supply ranging from acute deficiency (0.02 mM) to excess (8 mM). Apart from the production of characteristic visible symptoms of the respective stresses, deficient (< 4 mM) or excess (8mM) supply of Ca restricted plant biomass and fruit yield. In leaves, the concentration of chlorophyll, Hill reaction activity and the activities of catalase, peroxidase, acid invertase, ATPase, and α-amylase were reduced, but the activity of acid phosphatase was increased by deficiency of Ca. Excess Ca (8 mM) supply significantly reduced the concentration of chlorophyll, Hill reaction activity and the activity of catalase and increased the specific activities of peroxidase, acid invertase, ATPase, α -amylase, and acid phosphatase. Tissue concentration of Ca in leaves and fruits increased with increase in Ca supply from 0.02 to 8 mM. Tissue concentrations in young leaves representing the thresholds of deficiency or toxicity of Ca are found to be 1.12 and 1.98%, respectively. The critical tissue concentration in these leaves suggestive of severe deficiency of Ca is 0.85%.     

Uptake,distribution, and binding of cadmium and nickel in different plant species

For better understanding of mechanisms responsible for differences in uptake and distribution of cadmium (Cd) and nickel (Ni) in different plant species, nutrient solution experiments were conducted with four plant species [bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), rice (Oryza saliva L.), curly kale (Brassica oleracea L.) and maize (Zea mays L.)]. The plants were grown in a complete nutrient solution with additional 0.125 and 0.50 μM Cd or 0.50 and 1.00 μM Ni. Large differences in Cd and Ni concentrations in shoot dry matter were found between plant species. Maize had the highest Cd concentration in the shoots, and bean the lowest. Contrary to Cd, the Ni concentrations were highest in the shoots of bean and the lowest in maize. A gradient of Cd concentrations occurred in bean and rice plants with the order roots > > stalk base >> shoots (stems/sheaths > leaves). A similar gradient of Ni concentrations was also found in maize and rice plants. In the xylem sap, the Cd and Ni concentrations were positively correlated with Cd and Ni concentrations in the shoot dry matter. In the roots of maize, about 60% of Cd could be extracted with Tris‐HCl buffer (pH 8.0), while in roots of other plant species this proportion was much lower. This higher extractability of Cd in the roots of maize is in accordance with the higher mobility as indicated by the higher translocation of Cd from roots to shoots and also the higher Cd concentrations in the xylem sap in maize than in the other plant species. Similarly, a higher proportion of Ni in the soluble fraction was found in the roots of bean compared with maize which is in agreement with the higher Ni accumulation in the shoots of bean. The results of gel‐filtration of the soluble extracts of the roots indicated that phytochelatins (PCs) were induced in the roots upon Cd but not Ni exposure. The higher Cd concentrations and proportions of Cd bound to PC complexes in the roots of maize compared with the other plant species suggest that PCs may be involved in the Cd trans‐location from roots to shoots.     

Effects of root addition and foliar application of nitric oxide and salicylic acid in alleviating iron deficiency induced chlorosis of peanut seedlings

Nitric oxide (NO) and salicylic acid (SA) are two important signaling molecules, which could alleviate chlorosis of peanut under iron (Fe) deficiency. Here, we further investigated the mechanism of different combinations of sodium nitroprusside (SNP, a nitric oxide donor) and SA supplying in alleviation Fe deficiency symptoms and selected which is the best combination. Thus, peanut was cultivated in hydroponic culture under iron limiting condition with different combinations of SNP and SA application. After 21 days, Fe deficiency significantly inhibited peanut growth, decreased soluble Fe concentration and chlorophyll contents, and disturbed ionic homeostasis. In addition, the content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration increased, which led the lipid peroxidation. Application of SNP and SA significantly changed Fe trafficking in cells and organs, which increased Fe uptake from nutrient solution, and transport from root to shoot, enhanced the activity of ferric-chelate reductase (FCR), that increased the available Fe in cell organelles, and the active Fe, chlorophyll contents in leaves. Furthermore, ameliorated the inhibition of calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and zinc (Zn) uptake and promoted plant growth in Fe deficiency. At the same time, it increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) to protect the plasmolemma from peroxidation. Results demonstrated that different combinations of SNP and SA application could alleviate the chlorosis of peanut in Fe deficiency by various mechanisms. Such as increased the available Fe and chlorophyll concentrations in leaves, improved the activities of antioxidant enzymes and modulated the mineral elements balance and so on. Foliar application of SNP and SA is the best to protect leaves while directly adding them into nutrient solution is the best to protect roots. These results also indicated that the effects of SNP and SA supplying together to leaves or roots are better than respectively adding to roots and spraying to leaves. The best combination is foliar application of SNP and SA.
