不同供磷水平对辣椒根系形态和根际特征的影响

以辣椒品种线椒王为试验材料，采用盆栽方式，通过分析不同施磷水平下辣椒根系形态和根系生理的变化，探究辣 椒磷高效利用的主要根系及根际过程。结果表明，辣椒地上部和根系生物量随供磷水平的增加呈现先增加后下降的趋势，整 株磷浓度以及整株磷累积量呈增加趋势。随供磷水平增加，根系总根长呈先增加后下降趋势，根系平均直径、根冠比呈逐渐 降低趋势；辣椒根系菌根侵染率和土壤酸性磷酸酶活性呈现先增加后下降的趋势。相关分析结果表明，土壤有效磷浓度和整 株磷浓度与根系平均直径、菌根侵染率呈极显著负相关，与总根长可用一元二次方程拟合，表明辣椒根系适应低磷的根际特 征可能是通过增加根系生物量及总根长，同时降低根系平均直径来实现的。     

Challenges for the sustainable use of water and land resources under a changing climate and increasing salinization in the Jizzakh irrigation zone of Uzbekistan

Jizzakh Province in Uzbekistan is one of the largest irrigated areas in Central Asia without natural drainage.In combination with aridity,climate change and extensive irrigation practices,this has led to the widespread salinization of agricultural land.The aim of this study was to identify opportunities to improve the reclamation status of the irrigated area and how best to effectively use the water resources in Jizzakh Province based on investigations conducted between 1995 and 2016.A database of field measurements of groundwater levels,mineralization and soil salinity conducted by the provincial Hydro-Geological Reclamation Expeditions was used in the study.The total groundwater mineralization was determined using a portable electric conductometer(Progress 1T)and the chloride concentration was determined using the Mohr method.The soil salinity analyses were conducted by applying two different methods:(1)the extraction and assessment of the soluble salt content,and(2)using an SM-138 conductivity sensor applied to a 1:1 mixture of soil sample and water.The analyses of the monitoring results and the salt balance in the"irrigation water–soil–drainage water"system clearly demonstrated that the condition of the irrigated land in the province was not significantly improved.Under these conditions,the stability of crop yields is achieved mainly through the use of large volumes of fertilizer.However,excess amounts of mineral fertilizers can also cause the salinization of soils.The average groundwater salinization value in most of the irrigated land(75.3%)fluctuated between 1.1 and 5.0 g/L,while the values were less than 1.0 g/L in 13.1%of the land and in the range of 5.1–10.0 g/L in 10.5%of the land.During the period of 1995–2016 the salinization level of the irrigated land in Jizzakh Province increased slightly and the area could be divided into the following classes:no salinity(17.7%of the total area),low salinity(51.3%),moderate salinity(29.0%),and high salinity(2.0%).Detailed studies of the salt balance in irrigated land,the impact of climate change,increased fertilizer use,and repeated remediation leaching on the groundwater level and mineralization should be conducted in the future,due to the possibility of accelerated salinization,fertility decline,and reduced yields of agricultural crops.     

茶树凋落叶浸提液对菘蓝生理生化的化感效应

为研究茶树凋落叶浸提液对菘蓝生长与生理生化的化感效应,以模拟自然条件下雨雾淋溶方式,采用不同浓度的茶树凋落叶浸提液(CK:0 mg·mL^-1、T1:6.25 mg·mL^-1、T2:12.5 mg·mL^-1、T3:25 mg·mL^-1 和T4:50 mg·mL^-1)处理菘蓝,测定其生长、抗氧化酶活性及其基因表达量、细胞膜损伤率以及丙二醛(MDA)、过氧化氢(H₂O₂)、渗透调节物质和次生代谢物含量的变化。结果表明,茶树凋落叶浸提液对菘蓝生长表现出“低促高抑”的浓度效应,与CK相比,T1对菘蓝生长具有一定的促进作用,而浸提液浓度超过菘蓝的耐受阈值时,会对其生长产生不利的影响。随着浸提液浓度的升高,可溶性糖和可溶性蛋白含量呈先上升后下降的趋势,而脯氨酸含量则持续增加。与CK相比,T1的MDA含量、细胞膜损伤率和H₂O含量差异不显著,而T3、T4则显著升高。茶树凋落叶浸提液对抗氧化酶活性及其基因表达有不同的影响,T1的过氧化物酶(POD)与抗坏血酸氧化物酶(APX)活性最高,T2的过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性最高,而T3、T4的4种抗氧化酶活性均显著低于CK。T1的Pod、Cat、Apx基因表达量最高,而T4则抑制了抗氧化酶基因的表达。此外,POD活性与其基因表达量呈显著正相关,而超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、CAT和APX活性与其基因表达量的相关性不显著。不同浓度的茶树凋落叶浸提液对于菘蓝次生代谢物质积累的影响存在显著差异,低浓度茶树凋落叶浸提液对菘蓝生长、靛蓝和靛玉红含量积累有促进作用,而高浓度茶树凋落叶浸提液对总黄酮含量积累有一定的促进作用。本研究结果可为幼龄茶园中茶树-菘蓝复合种植提供理论参考。     

山葡萄VaCIPK18原核表达与多克隆抗体制备

类钙调磷酸酶B亚基蛋白(CBLs)互作蛋白(CIPKs) 作为类丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶,在植物响应非生物胁迫信号转导中起着重要作用。基于前期山葡萄响应低温胁迫转录组测序结果,发现低温胁迫引发的早期伤害及感知阶段的激酶基因中涉及CBL-CIPK 信号通路的VaCIPK18表达显著上调。为进一步研究山葡萄(Vitis amurensis)VaCIPK18激酶参与低温胁迫的功能,采用同源克隆获得了VaCIPK18基因,其开放阅读框为1 320 bp,编码439个氨基酸。基于对VaCIPK18蛋白生物信息学分析,获取胞外结构域中抗原表位丰富的肽段,并将其C端调控结构域(230~439 aa)构建到原核表达载体pET28a-SUMO。将重组表达载体转化至大肠杆菌(E. coli Rosetta)中,经0.8 mmol·L^-1 IPTG、37℃诱导4 h表达出大小为42 kDa的包涵体蛋白。将重组蛋白作为抗原免疫日本大耳白兔,获得anti-VaCIPK18多克隆抗体,经检测具有高效价及特异性。Western Blot结果表明,该抗体可以与葡萄内源CIPK18特异性结合,且在50 kDa位置出现与预期一致的条带。同时,CIPK18在低温胁迫后葡萄叶片中蛋白表达水平与室温下相一致,但两种状态下均存在可能的磷酸化与泛素化修饰现象。本研究结果为进一步探究VaCIPK18的蛋白定位、表达及其功能奠定了基础。     

Lipid metabolism in juveniles of Yellowtail,Seriola dorsalis,fed different levels of dietary methionine containing a low level of cholesterol: Implication in feed formulation

The involvement of dietary methionine in the lipid metabolism of Seriola dorsalis, at different levels of dietary methionine (Met), and low content of cholesterol was investigated. Four diets containing different Met levels and a low amount of cholesterol (0.23 g/kg diet) were prepared. One hundred and eighty juveniles (16.2 ± 1.5 g) were randomly distributed into each 12 500‐L ponds. After 60 days, the growth in weight (%) significantly increased following the Met supplementation, whereas SGR of all the experimental treatments was higher than the Basal Diet. The expression of the insulin‐like growth factor (IGF‐1) increased significantly (0.2‐fold) and was complemented by significant changes in Mat, BHMT and HMG‐CoA, for fish that were in the low and higher Met levels. The cholesterol content in the whole body and liver increased following methionine supplementation, similarly to that observed for crude lipids, in particular in the whole body and liver tissues. However, the relative amount of most fatty acids remained unchanged. Only the oleic acid increased at a higher amount of Met. Therefore, once the dietary requirement of methionine is met, the methionine is used to synthesize cholesterol. It is recommended to supply a higher amount of methionine to spare energy for growth.     

白背飞虱酚氧化酶原PPO基因特性及其免疫应答

【目的】酚氧化酶（phenoloxidase,PO）是昆虫体内的免疫蛋白,在昆虫体内起重要的调节作用,主要以无活性的酚氧化酶原（prophenoloxidase,PPO）形式存在。本研究在转录组测序获得白背飞虱（Sogatella furcifera）3条PPO序列的基础上,通过分析白背飞虱体内不同SfPPO的发育和组织表达模式,并进一步抑制SfPPO的表达以及病原菌诱导,探讨SfPPO在白背飞虱体内的生物学功能。【方法】以白背飞虱3条SfPPO序列为研究对象,利用生物信息学方法分析其蛋白结构以及与其他昆虫之间的同源性。并以注射绿色荧光蛋白（green fluorescent protein,GFP）的dsRNA作为对照组,通过注射合成的dsSfPPO后采用实时荧光定量PCR（qRT-PCR）检测基因表达抑制效果;此外,为了探究SfPPO在白背飞虱生长发育和免疫应答方面的作用,利用qRT-PCR检测SfPPO在不同发育阶段及组织中的表达情况,以及注射大肠杆菌（Escherichia coli）和枯草芽孢杆菌（Bacillus subtilis）后3个SfPPO的诱导表达情况。【结果】SfPPO1、SfPPO2-1、SfPPO2-2的开放阅读框长度分别为2 079、999、2 070 bp,分别编码692、332、689个氨基酸,预测蛋白分子量分别为79.84、37.67、79.53 kD,等电点分别为6.43、9.56、6.20。生物信息学分析表明,白背飞虱的3个PPO蛋白具有较高的同源性,且与褐飞虱（Nilaparvata lugens）的亲缘关系最近;SfPPO1、SfPPO2-1、SfPPO2-2均在成虫第3天表达量最高,其中SfPPO2-1和SfPPO2-2的发育表达模式相似;SfPPO1和SfPPO2-1在表皮和脂肪体内表达量较高,而SfPPO2-2在翅和脂肪体内表达量较高,在头、足、中肠、马氏管中表达量相对较低;与注射dsGFP组相比,注射靶标基因的dsRNA后都能够显著沉默目的基因的表达,而且当SfPPO2-1表达被沉默后,SfPPO1出现显著高表达,说明不同的PPO之间可能具有补偿功能;大肠杆菌诱导后12 h,SfPPO2-1和SfPPO2-2表达量显著升高,SfPPO1表达量则在诱导24 h后显著升高;枯草芽胞杆菌诱导24 h后,SfPPO1、SfPPO2-1和SfPPO2-2表达量均显著升高。【结论】SfPPO1、SfPPO2-1、SfPPO2-2的表达存在组织和龄期特异性,且在不同菌诱导情况下存在免疫应答差异性。研究结果有助于更加全面、深入地探索白背飞虱酚氧化酶在调控昆虫发育及免疫中的潜在分子机理。
