Physiological responses and adaptive strategies of wheat seedlings to salt and alkali stresses

Abstract

Effects of salt (NaCl?:?Na₂SO₄) and alkali (NaHCO₃?:?Na₂CO₃) stresses on the contents of inorganic ions and organic solutes in wheat shoots were compared to explore the physiological responses and adaptive strategies of wheat to these stresses. Wheat significantly accumulated Na⁺ and simultaneously accumulated Cl^?, soluble sugars and proline to maintain osmotic and ionic balance under salt stress. Compared with salt stress, the high pH from alkali stress enhanced Na⁺ accumulation and affected the absorption of inorganic anions. To maintain ionic and osmotic balance, wheat accumulated organic acids, soluble sugars and proline. The accumulation of Cl^? and organic acids was the main difference in the physiological responses and adaptive mechanisms to salt and alkali stresses, respectively.     

Effects of saline and alkaline stresses on the germination, growth, photosynthesis, ionic balance and anti-oxidant system in an alkali-tolerant leguminous forage Lathyrus quinquenervius

We compared the effects of saline stress (9:1 molar ratio of NaCl : Na₂SO₄, pH 6.44–6.65) and alkaline stress (9:1 molar ratio of NaHCO₃ : Na₂CO₃, pH 8.71–8.89) on the germination, growth, photosynthesis, ionic balance and activity of anti-oxidant enzymes of Lathyrus quinquenervius to elucidate the physiological adaptive mechanism of plants to alkaline stress (high pH). The results showed that, at a low stress intensity, the effects of saline stress and alkaline stress on L. quinquenervius were similar. Compared with saline stress, high alkaline stress intensity clearly inhibited germination, growth, photosynthesis and root system activity, and led to a sharp increase in Na⁺ and an ion imbalance in the shoots, as well as enhanced H₂O₂ and malondialdehyde content, resulting in severe intracellular oxidative stress. The results indicated that the accumulation of organic acid was a central adaptive mechanism by which L. quinquenervius maintained intracellular ionic balance under alkaline stress. Lathyrus quinquenervius may enhance organic acid synthesis to remedy the shortage of negative charge resulting from the massive influx of Na⁺ and decreased inorganic anions. In addition, saline stress and low alkaline stress slightly enhanced the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), but did not affect catalase (CAT) activity. However, strong alkaline stress significantly enhanced the activities of SOD and APX, and reduced CAT activity. We propose that enhancing the activities of SOD and APX may be a vital mechanism by which L. quinquenervius resists oxidative stress caused by alkaline stress.     

Protective role of proline against salt stress is partially related to the improvement of water status and peroxidase enzyme activity in cucumber

A salt-sensitive cucumber cultivar "Jinchun No. 2" ( Cucumis sativus L.) was used to investigate the role of proline in alleviating salt stress in cucumber. Proline was applied twice (day 0 and day 4 after salt treatment) as a foliar spray, with a volume of 25 mL per plant at each time. Plant dry weight, leaf relative water content, proline, malondialdehyde (MDA), Na⁺, K⁺ and Cl⁻ contents, as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activities in the plants were determined at day 8 after salt treatment. The results showed that 100 mmol L^–1 NaCl stress significantly decreased plant dry weight, leaf relative water and K⁺ contents, and increased leaf MDA, Na⁺ and Cl⁻ contents and SOD, POD, CAT and APX activities. However, leaf proline accumulation was not affected by salinity. The exogenous application of proline significantly alleviated the growth inhibition of plants induced by NaCl, and was accompanied by higher leaf relative water content and POD activity, higher proline and Cl⁻ contents, and lower MDA content and SOD activity. However, there was no significant difference in Na⁺ and K⁺ contents or in CAT and APX activities between proline-treated and untreated plants under salt stress. Taken together, these results suggested that the foliar application of proline was an effective way to improve the salt tolerance of cucumber. The enhanced salt tolerance could be partially attributed to the improved water status and peroxidase enzyme activity in the leaf.     

Interactive effect of salinity and silver nanoparticles on photosynthetic and biochemical parameters of wheat

The present study investigated the influence of seed priming with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), 0, 2, 5 and 10 mM, on growth and biochemical parameters of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under salt stress. As expected, 150 mM of NaCl decreased the shoot fresh and dry weights and chlorophyll contents and increased the catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) activities. Salinity enhanced the concentration of proline, soluble sugars, malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide. Seed priming with Ag NPs increased the shoot fresh and dry weight of normal and salt-stressed plants. Lower concentration of Ag NPs decreased the total soluble sugars and proline contents, while the higher Ag NPs levels increased these contents compared to the control. The combined application of Ag NPs and salt stress increased the soluble sugars and proline contents, while it decreased CAT activity and increased POD activity compared to the respective Ag NPs treatments alone. Overall, our results demonstrated that Ag NPs enhanced the salt tolerance in wheat, but the long-term response of Ag NPs under salt stress needs further investigation.     

荆芥幼苗对盐胁迫的生理响应

为探究盐胁迫对荆芥幼苗生理特性的影响,采用盆栽砂培试验,研究不同浓度盐胁迫(0、25、50、75和100 mmol·L^-1 NaCl)下荆芥幼苗生长、质膜稳定性、渗透调节、抗氧化酶系统、离子吸收和分配的变化。结果表明,随着盐浓度的增加,荆芥盐害指数逐渐升高,幼苗株高增加速率和比叶面积均逐渐降低,单株干重和叶绿素含量均呈先增加后减少的趋势,且均在25 mmol·L^-1 NaCl处理下达到最大;叶片中丙二醛(MDA)含量和电解质渗漏率均显著增加;可溶性蛋白和脯氨酸含量均呈先增加后减少趋势,且分别在50和75 mmol·L^-1 NaCl处理下达到最大,而可溶性糖含量则不断上升;超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性均呈先上升后下降的趋势,在25 mmol·L^-1 NaCl处理下达到最大,而过氧化物酶(POD)活性则持续下降。盐胁迫下,荆芥的根、茎、叶大量积累Na^+,但主要集中在地上部分,同时各部位K^+、Ca²⁺含量及K^+/Na^+、Ca²⁺/Na^+值均显著下降。综上,荆芥幼苗对盐胁迫极为敏感,但对低浓度的盐胁迫(25 mmol·L^-1 NaCl)具有一定的耐受性。本研究结果为荆芥的规范化栽培和抗逆驯化研究奠定了理论基础。     

Carbon and nitrogen mineralization of sewage sludge compost in soils with a different initial pH

Soil properties may affect the decomposition of added organic materials and inorganic nitrogen (N) production in agricultural soils. Three soils, Potu (Pu), Sankengtzu (Sk) and Erhlin (Eh) soils, mixed with sewage sludge compost (SSC) at application rates of 0 (control), 25, 75 and 150 Mg ha⁻¹ were selected from Taiwan for incubation for 112 days. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of SSC application rates on the carbon decomposition rate, N transformation and pH changes in three soils with different initial soil pH values (4.8–7.7). The results indicated that the highest peaks of the CO₂ evolution rate occurred after 3 days of incubation, for all treatments. The Pu soil (pH 4.8) had a relatively low rate of CO₂ evolution, total amounts of CO₂ evolution and percentage of added organic C loss, all of which resulted from inhibition of microbial activity under low pH. For the Pu and Sk soils, the concentration of NH₄⁺-N reached its peak after 7–14 days of incubation, which indicated that ammonification might have occurred in the two soils with low initial pH values. NO₃⁻-N rapidly accumulated in the first 7 days of incubation in the Eh soil (pH 7.7). The direction and extent of the soil pH changes were influenced by the N in the SSC and the initial soil pH. Ammonification of organic N in the SSC caused the soil pH to increase, whereas nitrification of mineralized N caused the soil pH to decline. Consequently, the initial soil pH greatly affected the rate of carbon decomposition, ammonification and nitrification of SSC.

Total selenium content of agricultural soils in Japan

To evaluate the selenium (Se) level in agricultural soils in Japan and to investigate its determining factors, 180 soil samples were collected from the surface layer of paddy or upland fields in Japan and their total Se contents were determined. Finely ground soil (50 mg) was wet-digested with HNO₃ and HClO₄ solution and the released Se was reduced to Se(IV). The concentration of Se(IV) was then determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with a fluorescence detector after treatment with 2,3-diaminonaphthalene and extraction with cyclohexane. The total Se content ranged from 0.05 to 2.80 mg kg⁻¹ with geometric and arithmetic means of 0.43 and 0.51 mg kg⁻¹, respectively. The overall data showed a log-normal distribution. In terms of soil type, volcanic soils and peat soils had relatively high Se content and regosols and gray lowland soils had relatively low Se content. In terms of land use, upland soils had significantly higher Se content than paddy soils. Among regions, soils in the Kanto, Tohoku, Hokkaido and Kyushu regions had relatively high content. The total Se content had a significant positive correlation with the organic carbon content ( P  < 0.01) and the equation for the estimation of total Se content with organic carbon suggested that on average approximately 48% (0.24 mg kg⁻¹) of the total Se was in inorganic forms and approximately 52% (0.25 mg kg⁻¹) was in organic forms. Soil pH, on the contrary, did not show a significant relationship with the total Se content. In conclusion, the organic matter content, in combination with volcanic materials, was the main determining factor of the total Se content of agricultural soils in Japan.     

外源24-表油菜素内酯对NaCl胁迫下桑树幼苗的缓解效应

为探究施加外源24-表油菜素内酯(EBR)对桑树耐盐性的影响,以桑品种桂桑优12为材料进行盆栽试验,在200 mmol·L^-1 NaCl胁迫下,研究外施不同浓度(0.01、0.10、1.00 μmol·L^-1)EBR对盐胁迫下桑树幼苗质量、根系特征、光合色素含量、活性氧(ROS)水平、丙二醛(MDA)含量、相对电导率、抗氧化酶活性和渗透调节物质含量等生理指标的影响。结果表明,与单一NaCl胁迫相比,外源添加0.10 μmol·L^-1EBR后,桑树幼苗地上鲜质量和干质量、主根长、总根长、根表面积、根平均直径、根总体积、叶绿素和类胡萝卜素含量均提高,叶片与根中产生羟基自由基(·OH)能力、产生超氧阴离子自由基($\text{O}_{2}^{\frac{{}}{\cdot }}$)活力、过氧化氢(H₂O₂)含量降低;叶片与根中的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性升高;脯氨酸、可溶性蛋白和可溶性糖含量增加;相对电导率和MDA含量降低。其中地下部鲜质量和根体积是盐胁迫下的1.56和1.57倍,叶片中CAT活性和可溶性糖含量达到盐胁迫下的1.57和1.68倍。本研究为揭示外施油菜素内酯增强桑树耐盐性的生理调控机制提供了参考依据。     

Soil physical fertility and crop performance as affected by long term application of FYM and inorganic fertilizers in rice–wheat system

Soil fertility, one of the important determinants of agricultural productivity, is generally thought to be supplemented through the application of nutrients mainly through inorganic fertilizers. The physical fertility of the soil, which creates suitable environment for the availability and uptake of these nutrients, is generally ignored. The present study aims to characterize the soil physical environment in relation to the long term application of farm yard manure (FYM) and inorganic fertilizers in rice–wheat. The treatments during both rice and wheat crops were (i) farm yard manure @ 20 t ha⁻¹ (FYM); (ii) nitrogen @ 120 kg ha⁻¹ (N₁₂₀); (iii) nitrogen and phosphorus @ 120 and 30 kg ha⁻¹ (N₁₂₀P₃₀) and (iv) nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium @ 120, 30 and 30 kg ha⁻¹ (N₁₂₀P₃₀K₃₀) in addition to (iv) control treatment, i.e. without any fertilizer and/or FYM addition. The treatments were replicated four times in randomized block design in a sandy loam (typic Ustipsament, non-saline, slightly alkaline). Bulk density, structural stability of soil aggregates and water holding capacity of 0–60 cm soil layer were measured.

The average mean weight diameter (MWD) was highest in FYM-plots both in rice (0.237 mm) and wheat (0.249 mm) closely followed by that in N₁₂₀P₃₀K₃₀ plots. The effect of FYM in increasing the MWD decreased with soil depth. The addition of both FYM and N₁₂₀P₃₀K₃₀ increased the organic carbon by 44 and 37%, respectively in rice. The total porosity of soil increased with the application of both FYM and N₁₂₀P₃₀K₃₀ from that in control plots. In 0–15 cm soil layer, the total porosity increased by 25% with FYM from that in control plots. This difference decreased to 13% in 15–30 cm soil layer. The average water holding capacity (WHC) was 16 and 11% higher with FYM and N₁₂₀P₃₀K₃₀ application from that in control plots. The MWD, total porosity and WHC improved with the application of balanced application of fertilizers. The grain yield and uptake of N, P and K by both rice and wheat were higher with the application of FYM and inorganic fertilizers than in control plots. The carbon sequestration rate after 32 years was maximum (0.31 t ha⁻¹ year⁻¹) in FYM-plots, followed by 0.26 t ha⁻¹ year⁻¹ in N₁₂₀P₃₀K₃₀-plots, 0.19 t ha⁻¹ year⁻¹ in N₁₂₀P₃₀ and minimum (0.13 t ha⁻¹ year⁻¹) in N₁₂₀-plots.     

外源NO对盐胁迫下甜高粱种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响

为探究外源NO对盐胁迫下甜高粱种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响,以国能4号甜高粱为试验材料,采用不同浓度(0.05、0.1和0.2 mmol·L^-1)硝普钠(SNP,NO供体)处理1.6%NaCl胁迫下的种子和幼苗,统计种子发芽数,测定幼苗叶片叶绿素、脯氨酸、可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白、丙二醛(MDA)含量及超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)活性等生理生化指标。结果表明,盐胁迫抑制了甜高粱种子的萌发,种子发芽指标(种子发芽率、发芽势和发芽指数)显著降低,1.6%NaCl是甜高粱种子萌发的敏感盐浓度;喷施不同浓度SNP可显著提高盐胁迫下甜高粱种子的发芽率及幼苗叶片叶绿素、可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白和脯氨酸含量,降低叶片MDA含量,增强抗氧化酶活性,其中0.1 mmol·L^-1SNP处理效果最佳。0.1 mmol·L^-1SNP处理下,与单独盐浓度处理相比,甜高粱种子发芽率、发芽势和发芽指数分别增加了29.51%、39.21%和38.91%;幼苗叶片叶绿素a、叶绿素b、总叶绿素、可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白和脯氨酸含量分别提高了230.00%、184.38%、214.13%、17.00%、8.78%和40.63%;MDA含量降低了34.01%;SOD、POD、CAT和APX活性分别增强了33.38%、55.75%、23.17%和116.46%。综上,盐胁迫下适宜浓度的SNP处理,可提高甜高粱幼苗叶片渗透调节物质含量,增强抗氧化酶活性,清除体内活性氧,从而促进幼苗生长,增强植株抗盐性。本研究结果为提高甜高粱耐盐性及揭示其耐盐机制提供了理论依据。     

Interaction forces between soil particles: shear moduli of the < 2 μm size fraction

The shear moduli of the < 2 μm size fraction of three soils have been measured for samples of 10–35% w/w solid. Samples were thixotropic, the shear modulus increasing with time. This increase can be described by simple models and visualized in terms of the formation of links between particles. For a given soil the shear modulus increases with ionic form in the order Ca²⁺∼Mg²⁺ + + < Li⁺ and varies in a complex manner with electrolyte concentration.     

Ca2+ Effects on K+ Fluxes in Arabidopsis Seedlings Exposed to Al3+

Potassium transport was investigated in the root elongation zone of Arabidopsis seedlings during the first minutes of Al³⁺ exposure, using the non-invasive MIFE microelectrode technique. To prevent pH changes during Al³⁺ application, and to separate aluminium from acidic stress, plants were pre-treated with 5 mM homoPIPES before addition of AlCl₃ (pH 4.2). The 30-min treatment with 50 or 500 μM AlCl₃ led to a significant increase in K⁺ efflux in solutions containing 100 μM CaCl₂. This efflux was suppressed by high concentrations of Ca²⁺ (10 mM) in the bathing solution. Our results suggest that elevated external Ca²⁺ activities can sustain K⁺ influx in the root elongation zone during Al³⁺ exposure either by maintaining [Ca²⁺]_cyt or by affecting Al³⁺ uptake across the plasma membrane.     

Physiological Responses of Leymus Chinensis to Long-Term Salt,Alkali and Mixed Salt-Alkali Stresses

The aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological responses of Leymus chinensis (Trin.) Tzvel exposed to long-term salt, salt-alkali, and alkali stress in order to elucidate how L. chinensis can survive under alkaline-sodic soils. L. chinensis (30 days after germination) were stressed with salt [SS; sodium chloride (NaCl)], mixed salt-alkali [MS; molar ratio of NaCl: sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) = 2:1] and alkali salt (AS; Na₂CO₃) at four different levels of sodium (Na⁺) concentration (0, 75, 150, and 300 mM) for 60 days. L. chinensis showed 100% survival rate at all treatments except 300 mM SS (33.3%) and AS (18.9%). The growth and physiological parameters of survival plants were measured. As anticipated, growth of L. chinensis was inhibited after stresses, which reflected in the decline of plant height, dry weight and tiller number following the increased Na⁺ concentration. The content of Na⁺, proline, and soluble sugar in L. chinensis increased with the increasing Na⁺ concentration, suggesting that L. chinensis need to accumulate inorganic and organic solutes for resisting osmotic stress induced by various salt stresses. These processes ensure the water balance that can provide a relative normal physiological environment for L. chinensis. Potassium (K⁺) content of L. chinensis kept at a relative lower level than control to ensure the normal physiological processes. Chlorophyll content of stressed plant increased slightly compared to control plants, which can produce more energy for L. chinensis resisting various stresses. The increased malondialdehyde (MDA) content of stressed plants showed the damage of various stresses. Among the three treatments (SS, MS, and AS), the injury extent for L. chinensis can be expressed by AS>SS>MS, and MS was the most complicated for the counterbalance effects of soil electrical conduction and pH.     

Exchangeable potassium and potassium balances in organic crop rotations on a coarse sand

Abstract. Crops on sandy soils (<5% clay) are exposed to K deficiency due to the small release and high leaching losses of K. Reliable tools are needed to improve the K management in cropping systems with limited K input, such as organic farming where import of nutrients are restricted according to the EC regulations. We investigated K balances and exchangeable K (K_exch) changes in an organic crop rotation experiment. Potassium leaching decreased from 42 kg ha⁻¹ in 1998/99 to 21 kg ha⁻¹ in 2000/01 as an average of a crop rotation (spring barley, grass-clover, winter wheat and pea/barley) with manure application and without catch crops. In the same period, spring K_exch decreased from 5.0 to 3.0 mg K 100 g soil⁻¹ (0–20 cm). The retention of the straw K left in the field after harvest increased with decreasing levels of K_exch. The cereal crops did not respond to K application but in the pea/barley mixture the pea yield increased by 46%. The concordance between measured K balances and changes in K_exch was weak. Exchangeable K is suitable as a tool for K management on a rotational basis, and a K_exch above 3 mg 100 g soil⁻¹ in the autumn should be avoided to minimize K leaching.     

Is burial of wheat straw in ditches a way to reduce CH4 emissions from rice cultivation?

Burial of wheat straw in ditches and incorporation of wheat straw are the two main ways of returning wheat straw prior to rice cultivation in China. To examine the effect of burying wheat straw in ditches on CH₄ emissions from rice cultivation, a field experiment was conducted at Yixing, Jiangsu, China in 2004. CH₄ flux was measured using a closed-chamber technique in three treatments (CK, no wheat straw application; WI, evenly incorporating 3.75 t ha⁻¹ wheat straw into the 0.1 m topsoil; WD, burying 3.75 t ha⁻¹ wheat straw in 0.14-m deep by 0.25-m wide ditches). Seasonal CH₄ emissions ranged from 49.7 to 218.4 kg CH₄ ha⁻¹. The application of wheat straw in these two ways significantly increased CH₄ emissions by 4.0-fold and 4.4-fold, respectively ( P  < 0.05). Although CH₄ flux from the non-ditch area in the WD treatment was as low as that in the CK treatment, it was counter-balanced by extremely high CH₄ flux from the ditch, which was approximately 6.0-fold as much as that from WI, leading to comparability between treatments WI and WD in total CH₄ emissions ( P  > 0.05). No significant difference was observed between the three treatments in grain yield ( P  > 0.05). The results indicated that burial of wheat straw in ditches is not a way to reduce CH₄ emission from rice cultivation.

Influence of arbuscular mycorrhizae on yield,nutrients, organic solutes,and antioxidant enzymes of two wheat cultivars under salt stress

The efficacy of arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) on nutrients, organic solutes, and antioxidant enzymes of wheat under salt stress was investigated and related to root colonization and plant productivity. The mycorrhizal inoculation increased N, P, K, Ca, and Mg uptake, soluble sugars, free amino acids, and proline accumulation, as well as peroxidase and catalase activities under saline conditions as compared to nonmycorrhizal plants. On the other hand, Na concentration was lower in mycorrhizal than in nonmycorrhizal plants grown under saline conditions. Arbuscular mycorrhizae protected wheat against the detrimental effects of salinity and stimulated its productivity. Hence, mycorrhizal colonization can play a vital role in the mitigation of the adverse effects of salinity by improving the wheat osmotic adjustment response, enhancing its defense system, and alleviating oxidative damage to cells. Arbuscular mycorrhizae are able to alter plant physiology in a way that empowers the plant to grow more efficiently on salt‐affected lands.     

Net nitrogen mineralization and nitrification rates in forest soil in northeastern Taiwan

We used a laboratory incubation approach to measure rates of net N mineralization and nitrification in forest soils from Fu-shan Experimental Forest WS1 in northern Taiwan. Net mineralization rates in the O horizon ranged from 4.0 to 13.8 mg N kg⁻¹ day⁻¹, and net nitrification rates ranged from 2.2 to 11.6 mg N kg⁻¹ day⁻¹. For mineral (10–20 cm depth) soil, net mineralization ranged from 0.06 to 2.8 mg N kg⁻¹ day⁻¹ and net nitrification rates ranged from 0.02 to 2.8 mg N kg⁻¹ day⁻¹. We did not find any consistent differences in N mineralization or nitrification rates in soils from the upper and lower part of the watershed. We compared the rates of these processes in three soil horizons (to a soil depth of 30 cm) on a single sampling date and found a large decrease in both net N mineralization and nitrification with depth. We estimated that the soil total N pool was 6,909 kg N ha⁻¹. The present study demonstrates the importance of the stock of mineral soil N in WS1, mostly organic N, which can be transformed to inorganic N and potentially exported to surface and ground water from this watershed. Additional studies quantifying the rates of soil N cycling, particularly multi-site comparisons within Taiwan and the East Asia–Pacific region, will greatly improve our understanding of regional patterns in nitrogen cycling.
