解淀粉芽胞杆菌菌株HRH317对感染串珠镰孢菌玉米幼苗伏马毒素B1含量及相关防御酶活性的影响

为探讨解淀粉芽胞杆菌Bacillus amyloliquefaciens菌株HRH317对感染串珠镰孢菌Fusarium moniliforme玉米幼苗产生伏马毒素B_1(FB_1)的影响,采用牛津杯法测定菌株HRH317对串珠镰孢菌的抑制活性,并通过浸种处理进行盆栽试验,应用高效液相色谱技术对生长至3叶期后不同时间玉米幼苗叶片中FB_1含量进行测定,同时于室内测定玉米幼苗叶片防御酶超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)和过氧化物酶(POD)的活性。结果表明:解淀粉芽胞杆菌菌株HRH317能明显抑制串珠镰孢菌生长,抑菌圈直径平均可达33.31 mm;玉米幼苗生长至3叶期后1～6 d,菌株HRH317能有效抑制玉米植株体内FB_1含量,经串珠镰孢菌分生孢子悬浮液与菌株HRH317菌悬液1∶1混合液处理玉米种子后,对幼苗中FB_1的抑制率为59.20%～75.70%;而玉米种子先接种菌株HRH317菌悬液后接种串珠镰孢菌分生孢子悬浮液处理对幼苗中FB_1的抑制率为76.77%～88.10%。且这2种处理中幼苗叶片的SOD、CAT、PAL和POD活性均较对照有不同程度提高,其峰值是对照的1.24～5.45倍。表明解淀粉芽胞杆菌菌株HRH317可通过抑制FB_1产生来降低串珠镰孢菌对玉米幼苗的侵害,同时能诱导玉米植株体内防御酶活性的表达而增强其系统抗性,在防治玉米穗腐病方面具有潜在的应用价值。     

水稻磷酸核酮糖激酶基因OsPRK克隆、亚细胞定位与诱导表达分析

为探究水稻磷酸核酮糖激酶基因OsPRK在水稻诱导抗虫反应中的功能,以水稻秀水110为材料克隆OsPRK基因的全长,通过生物信息学软件分析其序列特征,并应用实时荧光定量PCR技术分析OsPRK基因在水稻不同组织中的分布情况以及在虫害诱导、激素和机械损伤处理水稻中的表达特征。结果显示,水稻OsPRK基因序列全长为1 212 bp,编码403个氨基酸,分子量为44.86 kD,具有1个磷酸核酮糖激酶保守结构域。OsPRK蛋白亚细胞定位结果显示其定位于叶绿体。OsPRK基因在水稻中的表达具有组织特异性,其在内叶、外叶、内叶鞘、外叶鞘和根系这5个组织中相对于内参基因ACTIN的表达量分别为35.83、20.53、6.25、3.21和0.03。与对照相比,二化螟Chilo suppressalis为害能够强烈抑制水稻茎秆中OsPRK基因的表达;褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens怀卵雌成虫为害1.5、24 h、白背飞虱Sogatella furcifera怀卵雌成虫为害1、8、24 h以及机械损伤处理3、6、24 h均能显著诱导水稻茎秆中OsPRK基因的表达;而OsPRK基因的表达量在茉莉酸处理6、12 h时以及水杨酸处理0.5、1.5 h时被显著抑制,在茉莉酸处理48 h和水杨酸处理24 h时被显著诱导。表明OsPRK基因可能参与了水稻对害虫的诱导防御反应。     

硬质海岸防护设施的生态效应与对策

虽然滨海地区占地球陆地面积不足4%,但沿海生境是全球最有价值的自然资源之一。世界上超过三分之一的人口生活在距海岸线100 km的范围内。气候变化和人类活动使得全球海岸侵蚀和风暴潮威胁加重。海岸防护可以有效抵御海岸侵蚀、风暴风险和海平面上升。本文概述了全球主要沿海国家和地区（欧盟、美国、中国）海岸硬化情况以及海岸硬化带来的生态效应。欧洲海岸线硬化比例为10%（2006年）,美国海岸的硬化比例为14%（2015年）,而中国海岸线的硬化比例近60%（2014年）。海岸硬化会引起滨海湿地重要物理、化学和生物过程的改变,生境丧失和破碎化,以及生物连通性的改变。增加硬化设施的结构复杂性或由混合型海岸代替传统硬化海岸可以减轻海岸硬化对滨海湿地生态系统的威胁,但对硬质海岸和混合型海岸的生态服务功能以及抵御风暴能力的评估还比较缺乏,有待进一步研究。     

茉莉酸甲酯调控防御酶活性诱导猕猴桃果实抗采后软腐病

以‘金魁’猕猴桃果实为试验材料,研究茉莉酸甲酯(methyl jasmonate,MeJA)调控防御酶活性抗猕猴桃采后软腐病的效应。测定了MeJA对猕猴桃软腐病病斑直径、软腐病菌Botryosphaeria dothidea抑菌作用及超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、过氧化物酶(POD)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)和多酚氧化酶(PPO)等防御酶活性的影响。结果表明:在0.001～10 mmol/L浓度范围内,MeJA对猕猴桃软腐病菌B.dothidea的抑制作用随浓度升高而增强;MeJA对猕猴桃果实最佳诱导浓度和熏蒸时间分别为0.1 mmol/L和24 h,其诱导效果分别为26.01%和26.85%;猕猴桃果实经0.1 mmol/L MeJA熏蒸处理24 h后,SOD、POD、CAT、APX和PPO活性提高,其中SOD和POD活性分别较对照增加33.85%和61.61%,差异达显著水平(P<0.05)。以上结果暗示MeJA诱导猕猴桃果实抗采后软腐病可能与其提高防御酶活性有关。     

B型烟粉虱和温室白粉虱分别为害烟草后对烟草生长特性的影响

为比较B型烟粉虱和温室白粉虱分别取食烟草后对烟草生长特性的影响,明确2种粉虱取食诱导的烟草防御反应的差异和时间效应,探讨B型烟粉虱诱导的烟草防御反应在竞争取代温室白粉虱中的作用,采用直尺测量和烘箱烘干称重的方法,研究比较B型烟粉虱和温室白粉虱分别取食烟草不同时间后对烟草自身生长指标影响的差异。结果表明:在诱导寄主防御的虫口密度下,B型烟粉虱和温室白粉虱分别取食烟草不同时间后对烟草自身生长的影响存在显著差异,且具有时间效应。与对照烟草相比,B型烟粉虱取食烟草5天后对烟草生长没有明显的不利影响,但从取食10天开始出现显著不利影响,随着取食时间的延长对烟草的不利影响逐渐增加。烟粉虱取食15、20天后烟草株高分别降低了6.9、8.5 cm,平均节间距分别缩短了0.6、0.53 cm,叶片数量分别减少了2.1、2.6叶/株,系统叶叶面积明显增大,叶片变薄,单位面积干重分别降低了0.99、1.01 mg/cm2。温室白粉虱取食烟草不同时间后对烟草生长没有明显的不利影响。与温室白粉虱为害烟草后相比,B型烟粉虱为害烟草后产生了对烟草的特异性抑制反应,这可能与B型烟粉虱诱导烟草表达的特异性防御反应对自身资源的消耗有关。     

Induction of Defense Gene Expression and the Resistance of Date Palm to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Albedinis in Response to Alginate Extracted from Bifurcaria bifurcata

In many African countries, the Bayoud is a common disease spread involving the fungus Fusarium oxusporum f. sp. albedinis (Foa). The induction of plant natural defenses through the use of seaweed polysaccharides to help plants against pathogens is currently a biological and ecological approach that is gaining more and more importance. In the present study, we used alginate, a natural polysaccharide extracted from a brown algae Bifurcaria bifurcata, to activate date palm defenses, which involve phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), a key enzyme of phenylpropanoid metabolism. The results obtained showed that at low concentration (1 g·L⁻¹), alginate stimulated PAL activity in date palm roots 5 times more compared to the negative control (water-treated) after 24 h following treatment and 2.5 times more compared to the laminarin used as a positive stimulator of plant natural defenses (positive control of induction). Using qRT-PCR, the expression of a selection of genes involved in three different levels of defense mechanisms known to be involved in response to biotic stresses were investigated. The results showed that, generally, the PAL gene tested and the genes encoding enzymes involved in early oxidative events (SOD and LOX) were overexpressed in the alginate-treated plants compared to their levels in the positive and negative controls. POD and PR protein genes selected encoding β-(1,3)-glucanases and chitinases in this study did not show any significant difference between treatments; suggesting that other genes encoding POD and PR proteins that were not selected may be involved. After 17 weeks following the inoculation of the plants with the pathogen Foa, treatment with alginate reduced the mortality rate by up to 80% compared to the rate in control plants (non-elicited) and plants pretreated with laminarin, which agrees with the induction of defense gene expression and the stimulation of natural defenses in date palm with alginate after 24 h. These results open promising prospects for the use of alginate in agriculture as an inducer that triggers immunity of plants against telluric pathogens in general and of date palm against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis in particular.     

Agmatine protection against chlorpromazine-induced forebrain cortex injury in rats

This study was conducted to investigate whether agmatine (AGM) provides protection against oxidative stress induced by treatment with chlorpromazine (CPZ) in Wistar rats. In addition, the role of reactive oxygen species and efficiency of antioxidant protection in the brain homogenates of forebrain cortexes prepared 48 h after treatment were investigated. Chlorpromazine was applied intraperitoneally (i.p.) in single dose of 38.7 mg/kg body weight (BW) The second group was treated with both CPZ and AGM (75 mg/kg BW). The control group was treated with 0.9% saline solution in the same manner. All tested compounds were administered i.p. in a single dose. Rats were sacrificed by decapitation 48 h after treatment Treatment with AGM significantly attenuated the oxidative stress parameters and restored antioxidant capacity in the forebrain cortex. The data indicated that i.p. administered AGM exerted antioxidant action in CPZ-treated animals. Moreover, reactive astrocytes and microglia may contribute to secondary nerve-cell damage and participate in the balance of destructive vs. protective actions involved in the pathogenesis after poisoning.     

Lysis of pathogenic bacteria by epidermal cathepsins L and B in the Japanese eel

Cysteine proteases, cathepsins L and B, in Japanese eel epidermis are suspected bacteriolysins against aquatic pathogens. This work examines the lysis of three species of gram-negative pathogenic bacteria by the eel epidermal extract according to the assay method for cysteine proteases. The optimum pH for the lysis of the three species of bacteria were commonly determined to be 5.0, where both of eel epidermal cathepsins L and B caused active proteolysis. Four kinds of specific inhibitors for cysteine proteases strongly inhibited these catheptic proteolyses and bacteriolyses. The activities for the lysis of three types of bacteria were at a similar level, but the effects on the bacterium which infects predominantly eel skin largely varied with individual fish. These results suggest that epidermal cathepsins L and B are responsible for lysis of any pathogenic bacteria in the nonspecific defense of Japanese eel.
