不同铁形态对水稻根表铁膜及铁吸收的影响

通过溶液培养试验研究了FeCl2?4H2O和FeCl3?6H2O对水稻根表铁膜数量及铁吸收的影响。结果表明,FeCl2处理时水稻根表铁膜浓度是FeCl3处理的197%～233%。利用EDTA-BPDS对铁膜形态分析看出,根表铁膜中Fe3+占85%～92%,Fe2+占8%～15%。水稻天优998根表铁膜数量显著高于培杂泰丰,其铁吸收是培杂泰丰的115%～138%。两种铁形态处理明显提高水稻的根系活力,其中,FeCl2处理时水稻根系活力增加24%～69%,FeCl3为16%～54%。FeCl2处理时水稻根系SOD、POD和CAT活性分别增加11%～32%、15%～30%和30%～31%,但FeCl3处理没有明显影响。上述结果表明一定浓度铁处理明显增加水稻根表铁浓度和铁吸收;与FeCl3处理相比,FeCl2处理能提高根系抗氧化酶活性,增加水稻的铁吸收和根表铁膜数量。     

Distribution pattern of root‐supplied 59iron in iron‐sufficient and iron‐deficient bean plants

In order to study the iron (Fe) distribution pattern in bean plants with different Fe nutritional status, french bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) seedlings were precultured in a complete nutrient solution with 8x10^‐5 M FeEDTA for five days. Thereafter, plants were further supplied with 8x10^‐5 M FeEDTA (Fe‐sufficient) or with only 2x10^‐6 M FeEDTA (Fe‐deficient) for another eight days. At this stage, the Fe‐deficient plants had much lower chlorophyll contents and lower dry weight of the leaves but higher reducing capacity of the roots compared with the Fe‐sufficient plants. For studies on short‐term distribution of Fe, the Fe‐sufficient plants were supplied 8x10^‐5 M ⁵⁹FeEDTA (specific activity 9.9 GBq/mol) and the Fe‐deficient plants 1x10⁶ M ⁵⁹FeEDTA (specific activity 98.8 GBq/mol). The plants were harvested after 4 and 24 hours. Despite a much lower supply of ⁵⁹FeEDTA/(factor 80), the Fe‐deficient plants took up significantly more ⁵⁹Fe but translocated less to the shoots (14.6% after 24 h) compared with the Fe‐sufficient plants (29.4% after 24 h). However, regardless of the Fe nutritional status of the plants, the majority of ⁵⁹Fe was translocated in the primary leaves. Our results demonstrate a similar distribution patterns of root‐derived ⁵⁹Fe in the shoots of Fe‐sufficient and Fe‐deficient plants, and thus, no preferential direct translocation of Fe to the shoot apex in the Fe‐deficient plants.     

Determination of iron chlorosis with extractable iron analysis in peach leaves

Iron (Fe) though indispensable for the biosynthesis of chlorophyll, but its total content in the plant was not associated with the occurrence of chlorosis. Iron, which is the ferrous‐iron (Fe²⁺) form—termed “active”; Fe— and extracted with weak acids and some chelating agents, has been closely related to Fe chlorosis. In this study, three different methods were tested in order to determine suitable methods for extractable‐Fe analysis in a Dixired peach cultivar. In the first two methods, o‐phenantroline (o‐Ph) and 1N hydrochloric acid (HCl) were used to extract Fe²⁺ from fresh leaves. In the third method, 1N HCl were used as an extractant on dried leaf samples. The relationship between chlorophyll content of the leaves and Fe extracted by the three methods, was statistically significant. Hydrochloric acid extraction with dried leaves which gave the highest significant correlation (r = 0.930) with chlorophyll content, can be used for the determination of Fe²⁺ ("active”; Fe) status in peach trees.     

Analysis of iron chelates in commercial iron fertilizers by gel chromatography

A gel chromatographic method for the quality control of iron chelate fertilizers is described. The iron chelates are separated on a column of Sephadex G-10 and the eluates are analysed for iron. Using a sample quantity of 25 mg in a volume of 5 ml water and eluting with 0.15 M soidum chloride solution, a separation was achieved of commercial products of Fe-EDDHA or Fe-EDDHMA. The chromatographic analysis of Fe-EDTA or Fe-DTPA calls for a better resolution. This was obtained by decreasing the sample quantity and eluting with 0.035 M calcium chloride solution of pH 7.0. In this way it is possible to eliminate the interference of iron chelates of moderate stability which can be present in commercial products containing Fe-EDTA or Fe-DTPA.     

Comparison of HCl extraction versos total iron analysis for iron tissue analysis

Extraction of Fe from fresh leaves with 0.1 N HCl proved to be a better indicator of the Fe status of a variety of ornamental tropical foliage and flowering plants compared to total Fe, 0.1 N HCl‐ether, and IN HCl extraction. It consistently gave higher correlations (r = 0.73 to 0.95 depending on the species) with chlorophyll concentration than the other methods tested. However, even 0.1 N HCl extraction did not distinguish levels of Fe deficiency accurately when compared between species.     

Differences in iron stress response and iron uptake in some sorghum varieties

Six sorghum (Sorghum vulqaris Pers.,) varieties representing male and female lines and hybrids were examined for their response to Fe‐stress, and their ability to absorb and transport Fe in the absence and presence of phosphate or CaCO,. It was found that the variety 2077‐A (male sterile female line) and the variety CSH‐5 (hybrid of 2077‐A r CS‐3541) showed distinct mechanism to tolerate and recover completely from chlorosis induced by Fe‐stress in 10 days. Furthermore, these 2 varieties were able to reduce the pH from 6.4 to 3.8 in about 9 days, and this was increased to about 6.2 in another 6 days, which period corresponded with the onset of chlorosis and subsequent recovery. The variety 2219‐A (male‐sterile female line) was also able to withstand Fe‐stress, although the chlorosis appeared only mild throughout. This variety also reduced pH from 6.4 to 4.5, but only after 14 days in the presence of CaCO₃ (8 mg/1), and this time corresponded to the period of complete recovery from chlorosis.

There appears to be no correlation between Fe uptake capacity and tolerance to Fe‐stress in these varieties. The presence of phosphate or CaCO₃ in the absorption medium was found to increase Fe absorption and transport in a few varieties.     

硼促进缺铁条件下拟南芥根系细胞壁铁的再利用

【目的】为了探讨在缺铁条件下外源施加硼对植株表型以及体内铁含量的影响,揭示拟南芥在缺铁状态下体内铁的再分配机理,为缓解植株缺铁症状提供一个新的策略。【方法】以模式作物拟南芥(野生型)为供试材料进行了水培试验。供试营养液以正常铁浓度为加铁(+Fe)处理,不含铁营养液为缺铁(-Fe)处理,在两种铁营养液中分别加入H_3BO_3 100、1000μmol/L,共形成6个处理。拟南芥幼苗在全营养液中培养3周后,在处理溶液中培养7 d,收集根系和地上部,分别测定植株全铁、有效铁以及细胞壁吸附的铁含量;剪下根尖部位检测内源NO含量,提取根系RNA检测铁运输相关基因的表达量。【结果】在缺铁条件下,外源添加硼(1000μmol/L H_3BO_3)后植株根系和地上部有效铁含量分别是不加硼时的1.56倍和2.65倍,拟南芥新叶缺铁黄化的症状受到显著缓解。细胞壁组分含量分析结果表明,与不加硼相比,添加1000μmol/L H_3BO_3后植株根系细胞壁铁含量、半纤维铁含量以及半纤维素含量分别降低了60%、52%和53%,同时与100μmol/L H_3BO_3相比也分别降低了41%、41%和43%,说明随着外源添加硼浓度的增加,细胞壁以及细胞壁铁的解析作用也愈加明显。通过对植株不同部位总铁含量以及铁运输相关基因表达量分析后发现,只有在添加1000μmol/L H_3BO_3时缺铁胁迫下铁运输相关的3个基因才能受到显著诱导,具体表现为:与不加硼相比,1000μmol/L H_3BO_3处理后AtFRD3、AtYSL2和AtNAS1 3个基因的表达量分别上调了1.44、1.15和0.75倍,并且伴随着植株体内总铁含量的升高;而100μmol/L H_3BO_3浓度处理对铁相关基因的表达以及总铁含量的积累影响不大。最后,通过对根系内源NO含量的检测分析显示,硼可以影响内源NO的代谢,且外源施加硼后根系NO含量是不施加硼时的1.5倍,暗示信号分子NO可能参与这一过程。【结论】硼主要是通过改变细胞壁中的半纤维素含量和半纤维素上结合的铁含量来增加拟南芥根系细胞壁铁的释放,进而提高植株体内有效铁的含量,促进植株在缺铁的条件下正常生长。在缺铁的条件下,外源添加硼(1000μmol/L H_3BO_3)可以通过促进拟南芥植株体内铁的再利用机制来缓解植物缺铁症状,而添加100μmol/L H_3BO_3则对植株体内铁的再分配过程影响不大。     

Screening for resistance to iron deficiency chlorosis in dry bean using iron reduction capacity

Identifying cultivars resistant to iron (Fe) deficiency chlorosis so prevalent in calcareous soils is a more economical solution than fertilizer application in field crops. The current method of screening for resistance using chlorosis ratings in field trials is time consuming and highly variable. Root Fe reduction successfully separated cultivars or rootstocks, varying widely in resistance, of soybean (Glycine max L.), peach (Prunus persica L.), and grape (Vitis spp.), but was unsuccessful in sub‐clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.). Dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) exhibits Fe deficiency chlorosis in calcareous soils and initiates Fe reduction by the roots in response to such stress. The resistance of 24 dry bean cultivars to Fe deficiency chlorosis was assessed by measuring and summing daily Fe reduction by the roots. The cultivars were grown both hydroponically in an environmental chamber in low Fe solutions (0.05 mg‐L^‐1) and at three field sites in both 1995 and 1996. A significant relationship (P<0.01) between field chlorosis scores made 36 days after planting and root Fe reduction summations was observed for all sites in 1995 and 1996 (r = ‐0.42 to ‐0.71). The variability of chlorosis scores among sites, especially in 1996, points out the difficulty of using field chlorosis scores for screening. These results indicate that measurements of root Fe reduction can be used to predict resistance to Fe deficiency chlorosis in dry bean. Successful implementation of this technique should reduce if not eliminate field trials for screening resistance to Fe deficiency chlorosis.

Annual losses of iron from moorland soils and their relation to free iron contents

The temporal pattern of iron loss from a moorland catchment was investigated by intensive stream water sampling. The total loss in 1 year was 2.11 kg ha^?1 of Fe, with a pronounced autumn maximum. Iron concentrations in stream water were strongly correlated with dissolved organic matter content, but again with seasonal variation. Free iron content measured on a number of soils in the catchment ranged from 3.1 to 8.7 kg m^?2. Assuming soil development over 10 000 years, predicted loss of iron from the catchment is comparable in quantity to the amounts of free iron in the soils.     

Remobilization of iron from primary leaves of bean plants grown at various iron levels

In order to study the effect of different growth rates of the shoot apex, i.e. shoot demand, on the remobilization of iron (Fe) from mature (primary) leaves, bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) plants were precultured with 8x10^‐5 M FeEDTA for four days. Thereafter, plants were grown for another six days at various levels of Fe (0.0, 1.0, and 10.0μM FeEDTA), and simultaneously treated with or without shading of one primary leaf. Dry weight increment of the shoot apex decreased with decreased Fe in the nutrient solution. Shading of one primary leaf decreased total dry weight of plants irrespective of Fe supply, but increased the dry weight of the shoot apex of plants supplied without Fe or with only 1.0μM Fe. In these plants, the concentration of chlorophyll and Fe in the shoot apex corresponded with the treatment effects on dry weight of the shoot apex. Shading induced senescence of the shaded leaf, decreased the content of “active Fe”; (extractable in dilute acid), and also enhanced the remobilization of Fe and copper (Cu) from the shaded leaf. The remobilization of Fe from primary leaves was not related to the severity of chlorosis in the shoot apex (the Fe demand of sink tissue), indicating that only a certain fraction of the total Fe in mature leaves can be remobilized.     

Contact between root and iron substrate and the mobilization of iron by soybean roots

The question of whether a direct (uninterrupted) contact between plant roots and solid substrate is a prerequisite for the mobilization of sparingly soluble iron (Fe) by plant roots was investigated. Factorial combinations of two types of contact between the roots and rooting medium [direct or interrupted (roots placed inside a dialysis tube (DT)], two rooting media (nutrient solution or vermiculite), and two Fe supply conditions [without soluble Fe (control) or plus Fe‐EDDHA] were investigated. Placing the roots inside DT, with no visible mechanical impedance for the root, reduced the growth of tops and roots in most cases. Iron mobilization, judged by the total amount of Fe in the tops, strongly decreased if roots were enclosed in DT. This was true in plants grown in vermiculite as well as in nutrient solution containing Fe‐EDDHA. It is concluded that a direct contact between the surface of root cell walls and the Fe substrate is a prerequisite for the Fe mobilization by the plant roots.     

Effects of green iron nanoparticles on iron changes and phytoavailability in a calcareous soil

Green iron nanoparticles (Fe NPs) can be a practical solution to combat iron (Fe) deficiency in calcareous agricultural soils. The main aim of the present work was to assess the effects of green Fe NPs on Fe availability in calcareous soils. For this purpose, green Fe NPs were synthesized using green tea (G-Fe NPs), Shirazi thyme (T-Fe NPs), walnut green hull (W-Fe NPs), and pistachio green hull (P-Fe NPs) extracts and applied as a source of Fe fertilizer to sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) plants. Results of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) indicated that the green Fe NPs were amorphous in nature and the polyphenols obtained from plant-part extracts acted as both capping and reducing agents. Similar to the behavior of Fe-ethylenediamine-N,N''-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl) acetic acid (Fe-EDDHA) in calcareous soils, G-Fe NPs, T-Fe NPs, W-Fe NPs, and P-Fe NPs increased Fe release compared with the control and FeSO₄ treatment. Cumulative Fe release data fitted well to the power function, intra-particle diffusion, and Elovich kinetic models. According to the pot experiment, the increment in soil Fe availability upon Fe-EDDHA and Fe NPs application led to an increase in Fe uptake, growth, and photosynthetic pigment contents of the sorghum plants. Although further research is needed to evaluate the residual effect and environmental impact of green Fe NPs, they may be an appropriate substitute for traditional Fe fertilizers in calcareous soils.     

Microencapsulated iron for milk fortification

This study was designed to develop a microencapsulated iron that could be used to fortify milk and to determine the sensory properties of milk fortified with microencapsulated iron. Coating material was polyglycerol monostearate (PGMS), and selected core material was ferric ammonium sulfate. The highest efficiency of microencapsulation was 75% with 5:1:30 ratio (w/w/v) as coating to core materials to distilled water. Iron release was 12% when stored at 4 degrees C for 3 days. The TBA value was the lowest when 100 ppm of capsulated iron was added into milk and was significantly lower in capsulated groups compared with that in uncapsulated groups. In an in vitro study, only 3-5% of iron was released in simulated gastric fluid (pH 3, 4, 5, and 6). Comparatively, iron release increased dramatically from 12.3% (pH 5) to 95.7% (pH 8) for 60 min of incubation in simulated intestinal fluid. In a sensory analysis, most aspects except for metallic taste and color were not significantly different between control and capsulated iron fortified milk at 3 days of storage. However, between capsulated and uncapsulated groups, astringency, metallic, color, and overall scores were significantly different. The present study indicated that the use of microencapsulated iron with PGMS is effective for fortifying milk.     

Phosphorous levels on the ability of an iron‐inefficient and an iron‐efficient corn inbred to take up iron from nutrient solution

Abstract

The Fe‐inefficient corn (Zea mays L.) inbred Ys₁/YS₁ was compared with the Fe‐efflcient WF9 inbred for ability to take up Fe from solution culture at different P levels. A high level of P depressed Fe uptake more in the Ys₁/Ys₁ than in the WF9 inbred. The Ys₁/Ys₁ roots were high in P.
