Effects of Exogenous Cinnamic Acids on the Growth and Physiological Characteristics of Cucumber Seedlings

In order to study the effects of exogenous cinnamic acids on plant growth, contents of photosynthetic pigment, root activities and ATPase activities of root membrane at cucumber seedling stage, the seedlings of Shandong Mici cucumber were tested. The results showed that seedlings growth, contents of photosynthetic pigment, root activities and ATPase activities of root membrane were inhibited by cinnamic acids. The growth and root activities of seedlings were significantly （P〈0.05） lower in the soil amended with 100 mg kg^-1 cinnamic acids compared to the control. The contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll a＋b and carotenoid of seedlings significantly （P〈0.05） decreased in the soil amended with 200 mg kg^-1 cinnamic acids, whereas ATPase activities exhibited a higher sensitivity and greatly decreased in the soil amended with 50 mg kg^-1 cinnamic acids. These results suggested that cinnamic acids could induce a stress condition, and the stress intensities increased with enhanced cinnamic acid concentration.     

渗透胁迫下小麦幼苗根质膜ATP酶活性与膜透性的关系

经-1．0MP。聚乙二醇PEG渗透胁迫处理72h的小麦根系质膜透性可逆升高，抗旱品种（陕合6号）增幅小于干旱敏感品种（郑引1号），反复胁迫易导致质膜透性的不可逆伤害；PMH^＋-ATPase活性降低下降比质膜透性严重受伤害早，且不易恢复，可能是渗透胁迫伤害的原初作用点；PMCa^2＋-ATPase活性强弱取决于小麦抗旱性强弱；渗透胁迫下的质膜透性变化与PM ATPase活性变化不呈现直接相关。     

渗透胁迫对玉米幼苗根尖线粒体ATPase活性与结合态多胺含量的影响

[目的]探讨线粒体膜上结合态多胺与渗透胁迫的关系。[方法]以抗旱性不同的玉米(Zea maysL.)品种农大108(抗旱性较强)和掖单13(抗旱性较弱)幼苗为材料,研究在聚乙二醇(PEG)-6000渗透胁迫下,幼苗根线粒体ATPase水解活性与膜上非共价结合态亚精胺(Spd)含量的关系。[结果]渗透胁迫条件下,抗性强的农大108的ATPase活性下降的幅度明显小于抗性弱的品种掖单13,而农大108的线粒体膜上非共价结合亚精胺的上升幅度明显大于掖单13。外源Spd处理,明显促进了掖单13在胁迫条件下非共价结合Spd含量的增加,同时抑制其在胁迫条件下ATPase活性的降低,从而提高了掖单13幼苗的抗性;Spd生物合成的专一性抑制剂——甲基乙二醛-双(鸟嘌呤腙)(MGBG)处理,显著抑制了农大108在胁迫条件下膜上非共价结合Spd的增加,同时促进其在胁迫条件下ATPase活性的降低,从而明显降低了农大108幼苗的抗性。[结论]线粒体膜上的非共价结合的Spd可能通过维持ATPase活性的稳定来提高玉米幼苗的抗渗透胁迫能力。     

Fluctuating salinity effect on Sphoeroides annulatus (Jenyns 1842) physiological responses

Euryhaline fish, such as the Bullseye puffer Sphoeroides annulatus (Jenyns 1842), experience sudden salinity changes in their natural environment, which is more common than the exception, so they must adapt to survive and cope with extreme salt conditions. Therefore, Bullseye puffer juveniles were exposed to short‐term stress (39 hr) by fluctuating salinity conditions (41, 35, 29, 23, 17, 11, 5, 11, 17, 23, 29, 35, 41 psu) with a 3‐hr interval between each point at 26 ± 1ºC in a respirometer chamber and acclimation reservoirs. Responses to oxygen consumption rate (OCR: 23–35 mg O₂ h^–1 kg^–1), ammonium excretion rate (AER: 1–1.85 mg NH4⁺ h^?1 kg^?1), oxygen‐nitrogen atomic ratio (O:N 17–30), osmoregulatory pattern (blood osmotic pressure from 342.4 to 332.8 mmol/kg) and changes in expression levels of Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase in the gills (higher values at higher salinities) were measured. Although some signs of stress were detected below the iso‐osmotic point (11.4 psu), the puffer fish is a strong euryhaline fish that survives under these conditions. Nonetheless, it could recover when salinity returned to the initial acclimation point because Sphoeroides annulatus is able to live in a wide range of environments with wide natural salinity fluctuations; thus, a common practice in aquaculture has been to expose fish to low salinity for several reasons discussed in this study. This capacity reveals its high plasticity to saline adaptation from 41 to 5 psu an up from 5 to 41 psu, all in less than 2 days.

西瓜柱头ATP酶活性及分泌活动研究

用光学显微镜和电子显微镜研究了西瓜柱头结构、ATP酶活性和分泌活动。结果表明,柱头属于湿柱头类型,最外层是乳突细胞,内层为薄壁组织。授粉后10min,乳突细胞质膜和胞间连丝上ATP酶活性强;30min后,质膜上ATP酶活性极弱,但液泡膜上有很强的ATP酶活性;授粉1h后,ATP酶活性很难检测到。分泌活动始于开花前1d;开花后,授粉的柱头分泌活动急剧增强,授粉10min后分泌物最多,30min后不再产生新分泌物;1h后,细胞解体;24h后分泌物变干燥;未授粉的柱头分泌活动没有激增过程。     

水杨酸与高温锻炼对高温胁迫下葡萄叶肉细胞质膜ATPase活性的影响

采用水性两相分配法对经水杨酸(SA)和高温锻炼处理过的葡萄幼苗叶肉细胞中ATPase进行了分离和测定.结果表明:高温下,细胞质膜ATPase活性随着胁迫程度的加深均呈下降趋势,经SA和高温锻炼预处理后再经高温胁迫,发现质膜ATPase的活性低于正常条件下的水平(CK1),但明显高于未经处理直接进行高温胁迫后ATPase活性水平,即高温锻炼和SA预处理的质膜酶活仍保持了较高的活性,并且后一种处理效果更明显.说明质膜上ATPase活性的变化对高温胁迫作出了一定的响应,SA和高温锻炼对提高葡萄幼苗叶片的抗热性与二者可以维持细胞质膜上ATPase活性的稳定有关.     

Effects of Xinkang recipe on myocardial miR-25-3p expression and SERCA2a activity in heart failure rats

AIM: To investigate the effects of Xinkang recipe on myocardial miR-25-3p expression and sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase 2a (SERCA2a) activity in heart failure rats. METHODS: Male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, sham group, model group, Xinkang recipe group (Xinkang group), and captopril group. The heart failure rat model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of doxorubicin. Distilled water, Xinkang recipe and captopril were administrated by gastric gavage for 35 d, respectively. The indexes of cardiac function and plasma level of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were measured. The SERCA2a activity was determined by the inorganic phosphorus method. The myocardial protein expression of SERCA2a and phospholamban (PLB) was detected by Western blot. The myocardial expression of miR-25-3p was detected by stem-loop RT-qPCR. RESULTS: Cardiac output (CO), left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in Xinkang group and captopril group were significantly higher while the plasma levels of BNP were significantly lower than those in model group (P<0.01). The myocardial expression levels of miR-25-3p in Xinkang group and captopril group were significantly lower while the myocardial protein le-vels of SERCA2a and PLB were significantly higher than those in model group (P<0.01). The SERCA2a/PLB ratio and SERCA2a activity in Xinkang group were significantly higher than those in model group (P<0.05), and no significant change was observed between captopril group and model group. CONCLUSION: Xinkang recipe therapy may improve cardiac function in heart failure rats, which may be related to inhibiting the expression of miR-25-3p, increasing the SERCA2a/PLB ratio and enhancing SERCA2a activity in the myocardium.
