木奈叶片乙醇酸氧化酶基因全长 cDNA的分离与表达研究

乙醇酸氧化酶（ glycolate oxidase,GLO）是植物光呼吸途径中的一种限速酶,催化羟乙酸盐氧化成乙醛酸盐和H2 O2,与植物的诱导抗病性密切相关。试验从已构建好的木奈（ Prunus salicina Lindl．var．cordata J．Y．Zhang et al．）5个不同生长发育时期叶片的均一化全长cDNA文库中分离得到了一个乙醇酸氧化酶（ GLO）基因,命名为PsGLO。序列分析表明,PsGLO基因cDNA全长为1531 bp,开放阅读框为1122 bp,编码374个氨基酸。氨基酸多重序列比对表明,该基因与陆地棉乙醇酸氧化酶基因相似性最高,为90％。荧光定量PCR分析表明, PsGLO基因在木奈叶中木奈叶芽、展开叶、幼叶、成熟叶、老叶5个不同生长发育时期中都有表达,其中,老叶中表达量最高,叶芽最低。

Effect of aluminum uptake on growth and enzyme activity in Pisum sativum var. ‘Alaska’ and ‘Little Marvel’

It is usually assumed that plant tissue responses to nutritional elements are due to specific genetic differences that may exist either between inbred or closely related species. Little Marvel (dwarf) and Alaska (normal) varieties of 14‐day old pea seedlings were treated with four different concentrations of Al‐containing nutrient solution (0.0mM, 0.2mM, 0.6mM and distilled H₂O), prior to being exposed for 14 days to either DARK, LIGHT, or UV. Selected tissues (root tip, main root, main stem and proximal stem) were bioassayed for peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase enzyme activities, fresh wt vs. dry wt, water uptake and stem growth. The present study suggests that Little Marvel and Alaska pea tissue responds to high toxicity levels of Al by demonstrating an enhancement of enzymic activity. Tissue weight, growth and water uptake also show differential tissue specificity in both Little Marvel and Alaska tissue, in terms of Al toxicity response, given a particular external exposure.     

葡萄多酚含量和多酚氧化酶（PPO）活性与组培苗生根关系的初步研究

研究测定了葡萄属10个种(品种)组培苗的多酚含量和多酚氧化酶(PolyphenolOxidase,PPO)的活性,对其与组培苗的生根指数进行相关性分析,并建立生根指数与多酚含量、多酚氧化酶的多项式回归方程。结果表明:不同种(品种)间多酚含量和PPO活性有显著性差异;多酚含量和PPO活性相关性显著,PPO活性和生根指数不相关,而多酚含量与生根指数呈显著负相关;从回归方程可以看出,PPO活性对生根指数的作用是非线性的,多酚含量对生根指数的作用是线性的,这说明多酚含量对组培苗生根的直接作用很大,PPO活性通过多酚含量间接影响组培苗生根而且直接作用较小。     

小麦质不育系花药及雌蕊邻苯二酚氧化酶同工酶分析

小麦细胞质雄性不育系、保持系花药三个不同发育时期的邻苯二酚氧化酶同工酶存在明显差异,不育系中的同工酶谱带数多于保持系.考虑到小麦细胞质雄性不育系的细胞核与保持系相同,但具有与保持系不相同的不育细胞质,故邻苯二酚氧化酶同工酶可能与植物的雄性不育特性有某种联系.雌蕊中的邻苯二酚氧化酶同工酶在不育系与保持系间基本相同,这可能与雌蕊中不育系、保持系间的核质组成相同有关,这一事实似乎从另一侧面说明了邻苯二酚氧化酶与不育特性存在着某种联系.     

Characterization of cytoplasmic male sterility in Petunia hybrida and Zea mays. Localization and activity of cytochrome c oxidase

Summary Anthers of male fertile, cytoplasmic male sterile (cms), and restored male fertile Petunia hybrida, are analyzed for cytochrome c oxidase (cox) activity in subsequent stages of microsporogenesis, and compared with anthers of male fertile, cms-S and cms-C Zea mays. The cox activity is determined in anther extracts and cytochemically. In petunia anthers, the first differences in cox activity occur from meiosis onward. However, at these stages, the initial symptoms of degeneration are already apparent. It is suggested that the decline in enzyme activity of the cms petunia anthers is the result rather than the cause of the non-formation of functional pollen.In maize anthers, the cox activity of sterile-type anthers is reduced in comparison with fertile-type anthers from premeiosis onward. There are also consistent cytochemical differences in the mitochondrial organization of cox activity between pollen of cms-S and male ferile maize anthers. In fertile-type mitochondria, the DAB reaction product indicating cox activity is localized in the cristae and within the space between the outer and inner limiting membranes of the organelles. In mitochondria of pollen of cms-S maize, cox activity is only observed between the outer and inner membranes of the mitochondria. The biochemical and cytochemical differences are observed at stages of development at which no structural signs of degeneration are apparent. The results suggest that cms in maize correlates with deviations in cytochrome c oxidase activity.Abbreviations cox cytochrome c oxidase - DAB 3,3-diaminobenzidine     

热胁迫对大豆花荚离层细胞HSP70基因表达、能量供应及花荚脱落率的影响

实验运用Northern blot检测和生理生化分析等技术研究热胁迫对大豆(Glycine max)品种花荚离层细胞的HSP70基因表达、能量供应及花荚脱落的影响。结果显示，热胁迫能够提高所有6个供试大豆品种花荚离层细胞的HSP70基因表达水平、线粒体及其蛋白含量以及细胞色素氧化酶表达量，而不同程度地降低了所有供试品种的花荚脱落率。结果说明，大豆花荚离层细胞HSP70基因的高效表达可能是通过有效地改善花荚离层细胞的能量供应，从而达到抑制花荚脱落的目的。关键词: 大豆；热胁迫；HSP70基因；线粒体；细胞色素氧化酶；花荚脱落率     

Contribution of mineral nutrition to the response of barley seedlings to polyethylene glycol–induced mild water stress

The effect of polyethylene glycol–induced osmotic stress on the activity of nitrate reductase, glutamine synthetase, and glycolate oxidase in leaves of young barley plants grown under two nutrient‐supply regimes was studied. The activity of nitrate reductase gradually decreased after polyethylene glycol (PEG) application, while glutamine synthetase and glycolate oxidase were increased. It is speculated that the enhanced glutamine synthetase and glycolate oxidase activities are due to increased flux of metabolites through the photorespiratory cycle. Prominent increase in concentrations of free proline, reducing sugars, and free amino acids was observed. The possible contribution of these cellular solutes to the process of osmotic adjustment and the role of mineral supply is discussed. It is suggested that low N supply in combination with stress conditions switched the preferred osmolyte type from amino acids (N‐containing) to sugars (C‐containing).     

Influence of selenium on oxidoreductive enzymes activity in soil and in plants

The aim of this greenhouse experiment was the assessment of the influence of H₂SeO₃ at soil concentrations of 0.05, 0.15 and 0.45 mmol kg⁻¹, on the activity of selected oxidoreductive enzymes in wheat (Triticum aestivum). The wheat plants were grown in 2 dm³ pots filled with dust-silt black soil of pH 7.7. Applied H₂SeO₃ caused activation of plant nitrate reductase at all concentrations, but activation of plant polyphenol oxidase at only two lower concentrations. The highest concentration caused inhibition of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase. Plant catalase activity decreased under the influence of 0.15 and 0.45 mmol kg⁻¹ concentration. After the final analysis Se was quantified in plants and soil. The amounts in plants were: control (unamended soil) 1.95 mg kg⁻¹; I dose (0.05 mmol kg⁻¹) 18.27 mg kg⁻¹; II dose (0.15 mmol kg⁻¹) 33.20 mg kg⁻¹ and III dose (0.45 mmol kg⁻¹) 38.37 mg kg⁻¹, in soil: 0.265 mg kg⁻¹; 3.61 mg kg⁻¹; 10.53 mg kg⁻¹; 30.53 mg kg⁻¹; respectively. Simultaneously, a laboratory experiment was performed, where the activity of soil catalase and peroxidase were tested after 1, 3, 7, 14, 28, 56, and 112 days after Se treatment. Peroxidase activity in soil decreased with increasing Se content, over the whole experiment. The lowest dose of Se caused activation a significant 10% increase in catalase activity, but the influence of others doses was unclear.     

Metabolism mediated interaction of α-asarone and Acorus calamus with CYP3A4 and CYP2D6

The present study was aimed to investigate the possible interaction of the standardized extract of Acorus calamus (AC) with Cytochrome P450 enzyme, quantitative determination of the α-asarone in the AC rhizome was performed by RP-HPLC method. In vitro interaction of the plant extract was evaluated by CYP450-carbon monoxide complex (CYP450-CO) assay. Effect on individual isoforms such as CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 isozymes were analyzed through fluorescence product formation and respective IC₅₀ values were determined. CYP450-CO assay showed moderate interaction potential. Extract showed higher IC₅₀ values (46.84 ± 1.83-32.99 ± 2.21 μg/ml) comparing to the standard inhibitors and lower IC₅₀ value than α-asarone (65.16 ± 2.37-42.15 ± 2.45 μg/ml).
