二氧化碳升高与干旱对植物生理、土壤碳及土壤酶活的影响

Global climate models have indicated high probability of drought occurrences in the coming future decades due to the impacts of climate change caused by a mass release of CO2.Thus,climate change regarding elevated ambient CO2 and drought may consequently affect the growth of crops.In this study,plant physiology,soil carbon,and soil enzyme activities were measured to investigate the impacts of elevated CO2 and drought stress on a Stagnic Anthrosol planted with soybean (Glycine max).Treatments of two CO2 levels,three soil moisture levels,and two soil cover types were established.The results indicated that elevated CO2 and drought stress significantly affected plant physiology.The inhibition of plant physiology by drought stress was mediated via prompted photosynthesis and water use efficiency under elevated CO2 conditions.Elevated CO2 resulted in a longer retention time of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in soil,probably by improving the soil water effectiveness for organic decomposition and mineralization.Drought stress significantly decreased C:N ratio and microbial biomass carbon (MBC),but the interactive effects of drought stress and CO2 on them were not significant.Elevated CO2 induced an increase in invertase and catalase activities through stimulated plant root exudation.These results suggested that drought stress had significant negative impacts on plant physiology,soil carbon,and soil enzyme activities,whereas elevated CO2 and plant physiological feedbacks indirectly ameliorated these impacts.

尕海湿地区沼泽草甸退化对土壤氮转化酶活性的影响

为探讨高寒湿地退化对土壤氮转化酶活性的影响,以青藏高原东缘尕海湿地未退化（ND）、轻度退化（LD）、中度退化（MD）和重度退化（HD）4种不同退化程度0~40 cm土层沼泽草甸为研究对象,研究不同退化与土层中土壤氮转化酶（蛋白酶、脲酶、硝酸还原酶和亚硝酸还原酶）活性的变化特征及其与土壤理化性质之间的关系。结果表明：1）随沼泽草甸退化程度加剧,土壤含水量、全氮、铵态氮和微生物生物量氮含量均显著降低,土壤温度与硝态氮含量却显著增加。2）随退化程度加剧,各土层土壤脲酶活性增加、蛋白酶活性降低,且仅在20~40 cm土层存在显著差异;硝酸还原酶活性增加、亚硝酸还原酶活性降低,在0~20 cm土层存在显著差异。3）各退化程度中,土壤脲酶、蛋白酶、亚硝酸还原酶活性均随土层深度的增加而显著下降,硝酸还原酶活性仅在HD显著下降。4）退化程度和土层对4种土壤氮转化酶活性均存在显著影响,且对土壤硝酸酶和亚硝酸还原酶活性存在显著交互作用。5）冗余分析表明土壤含水量对土壤氮转化酶活性变化的贡献率高达67.1%,其是驱动尕海沼泽草甸退化演替过程中土壤氮转化酶活性变化的主导因素。研究结果可为高寒湿地生态系统退化中的土壤酶活性变化规律提供理论依据。     

三氯生与镉单一及复合污染对土壤呼吸和酶活性的影响

为了解典型药品和个人护理品(PPCPs)——三氯生与镉复合污染的生态效应,采用室内培养实验和联合毒性预测模型,首次评价了三氯生与镉单一及复合污染对土壤呼吸及参与土壤碳氮循环的相关酶活性的生态毒性。结果表明:三氯生与镉单一及复合污染对土壤呼吸呈现激活—抑制—激活的生态效应;刺激了蛋白酶活性,激活率先降低后升高,56 d时达到最大。整个实验期间均抑制了蔗糖酶活性,镉(10.0 mg kg-1)单一污染培养14 d抑制率达到最大值(81%),三氯生单一胁迫呈现负的剂量效应关系,两者复合污染无显著的剂量效应关系。联合效应评价模型预测表明,相比三氯生或镉单一污染,两者的复合胁迫对土壤呼吸呈现随时间变化的拮抗—协同—加和效应,对土壤蛋白酶呈现协同—加和—协同的联合效应,而对土壤蔗糖酶活性则主要为协同效应。     

葡萄霜霉菌候选效应子RXLR5信号肽的鉴定

利用Getorf、SignalP 3.0、BLASTP等生物信息学软件和PERL语言从葡萄霜霉菌基因组中预测到一条编码RXLR-EER结构域的效应蛋白候选基因,将该基因编码的蛋白命名为RXLR5。将RXLR5信号肽SP5编码序列连接到pSUC2T7M13ORI载体并转化到酵母蔗糖酶缺陷菌株YTK12后,重组菌株能成功分泌蔗糖酶,促使棉籽糖分解成单糖,因此,能在YPRAA培养基上正常生长;同时生成的单糖能与TTC反应产生红色不溶于水的氯化三苯基四氮唑。由此推测,SP5具有信号肽活性,可能在RXLR5从葡萄霜霉菌细胞内泌到胞外的过程中起重要作用。     

Comparison of Salt and Drought‐Stress Effects on Maize Growth and Yield Formation with Regard to Acid Invertase Activity in the Kernels

The long‐term effects of salt stress (11 dS m^?1) and drought stress (35 % WHC) were investigated for two maize genotypes, focusing on the relation between metabolic changes around the time of pollination and the impact on yield determinants at maturity. The relatively salt‐resistant hybrid Pioneer 3906 and the relatively drought‐resistant hybrid Fabregas were compared. The experiments were conducted in large plastic containers in a vegetation hall in two consecutive years (2011 and 2012). Plant height and leaf area were significantly reduced under both stress conditions. The transpiration rate was only slightly reduced under drought stress; but under salt stress, a significant reduction occurred 40–53 days after sowing. As a significant increase in sucrose concentrations was observed in the salt‐treated maize kernels 2 days after pollination, the availability of assimilates was not limiting and the plants could afford to save water by reduced stomatal opening. Although under both stress conditions the soluble acid invertase activity was reduced 2 days after pollination, concomitantly, an increase in hexose concentrations was observed. Thus, in these experiments, the delivery of hexoses by acid invertase activity did not limit kernel development. Differences in grain yield at maturity between salt and drought stress were most likely caused by salt‐specific effects (Na⁺ toxicity), Fabregas being more affected than Pioneer 3906.     

菠萝酸性转化酶基因家族初步生物信息学及表达分析

酸性转化酶（acid invertase, AIN）在菠萝采后蔗糖降解过程中起着重要作用,基于菠萝全基因组数据库,预测菠萝AIN家族基因并进行生物信息学分析,解析其在采后菠萝不同贮藏温度下的表达变化情况,为阐明AIN基因在采后菠萝果实贮藏特性中的作用奠定基础。以水稻AIN家族基因为探针,在菠萝全基因组中鉴定到2个菠萝细胞壁酸性转化酶基因（cell wall acid invertase, CWIN）和2个液泡酸性转化酶基因（vacuolar acid invertase, VIN）,分别命名为AcCWIN1、AcCWIN2、AcVIN1、AcVIN2,设计编码区引物进行测序验证,并进行生物信息学分析。进化分析结果表明,AcCWIN1、AcCWIN2和AcVIN1、AcVIN2蛋白分别归于细胞壁酸性转化酶和液泡酸性转化酶2个进化支上,且均属于糖基水解酶家族GH32,基因结构、保守域和保守基序均一致。荧光定量分析结果表明,菠萝果肉中AcVIN1和AcVIN2在果实采后贮藏过程中表达量升高,且AcVIN1在发生黑心病的部位大量表达,而AcCWIN1和AcCWIN2在采后贮藏过程中表达量逐渐降低,且随着贮藏温度的升高其表达量降低,预示AcVIN1、AcVIN2较AcCWIN1、AcCWIN2在菠萝采后蔗糖降解和黑心病的发生方面发挥着更为重要的作用。     

Effects of late planting on fiber quality and within-boll yield components as mediated by sucrose metabolism in cotton bolls

ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of late planting on sucrose metabolism in cotton bolls and the relationship to fiber properties and within-boll yield components. Two cotton lines A201 and A705 were employed in a sowing date experiment where two temperature regimes during boll maturation period were created at mean daily temperature of 26.8°C, 28.3°C for early planting and 25.2°C, 23.1°C for late planting in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Boll size, seed mass per boll, seed index and fiber length were increased, and lint percentage was decreased by late planting. Greater cell wall invertase activity and the resultant hexose concentration in fibers were observed in late planting, and thus led to decreased osmotic potential accounting for the enhanced fiber length. Similarly, late planting increased the maximum of vacuolar invertase activity in ovules occurring at 5 days post anthesis (DPA) and hexose concentrations in embryos from 10 DPA afterwards which may favor embryo cell division, and thus increase final seed size. Our data indicate that acid invertase and hexose are implicated in the formation of within-boll yield components and fiber properties as affected by the lower temperature regime due to late planting.
