半根供铁对苹果砧木幼苗生长的影响

利用分根技术在水培条件下研究了半根供铁对苹果砧木幼苗生长的影响。结果表明,一半根系供铁不仅未影响植株对铁营养的需求,甚至在处理初期植株的铁吸收总量和铁吸收速率还略有提高。一半根系供铁苹果砧木小金海堂和山定子叶片活性铁质量分数均未降低,而且与对照相比无叶片黄化的现象。因此,通过半根供铁的方式来改善苹果砧木幼苗的生长,为进一步研究砧木缺铁适应性反应的调控部位打下基础,也为今后缺铁的矫正和提高铁素利用效率提供了一条新的思路。

拟松材线虫对黑松苗的致病性

测定来源于中国、日本、韩国、加拿大、挪威和法国的20个拟松材线虫种群对2年生黑松苗的致病力。根据其致病力大小分为3类：第1类致病力很强，致死率大于85％，RHS(相关寄主适生性)系数大于100，包括法国的1个种群和中国的3个种群；第Ⅱ类有较强的致病潜能，在环境适宜的情况下可能造成严重危害，这一类数量最多，包括中国的11个种群和加拿大的1个种群；第Ⅲ类几乎没有致病力，其致死率和RHS系数都是0，包括韩国的2个种群及日本和挪威各1个种群。试验证明法国BmFr种群致死速度最快，致病力最强。黑松苗在感染拟松材线虫后，用自然界水分胁迫和PEG胁迫处理，结果表明，干旱胁迫能明显加快黑松苗死亡速度，且大大提高死亡率。提示在高温干旱的年份拟松材线虫可造成松树的大面积死亡。     

干旱和盐胁迫对知母种子发芽的影响

以中药材知母种子为试材,采用聚乙二醇(PEG)干旱胁迫和混合盐胁迫的方法,研究知母种子在胁迫条件下的发芽势、发芽率以及胚根与胚芽长等生长性状指标,以期为知母人工栽培提供科学依据。结果表明:随着PEG浓度和NaCl与NaHCO3(1∶1)混合溶液浓度的增加,知母种子萌发均受到抑制,种子发芽势、发芽率、胚芽与胚根长度与直径都与之呈显著的负相关。PEG不同浓度梯度胁迫下,知母种子发芽势由16%降至4%,发芽率由80%降至52%,且知母种子萌发的致死浓度为15%;NaCl与NaHCO3(1∶1)混合溶液胁迫下,知母种子发芽势由16%降至6%,发芽率由80%降至14%,且知母种子萌发的致死浓度为1.20%。知母种子有一定的耐干旱及耐盐胁迫能力。     

苹果细胞分裂素氧化酶基因MdCKX7.2的克隆及抗性鉴定

采用同源克隆和PCR技术从‘嘎拉’苹果(Malus×domestica Borkh.)中克隆细胞分裂素氧化酶基因MdCKX7.2(基因序列号:MDP0000279125)。该基因含有1 542 bp的完整开放阅读框,编码513个氨基酸。利用Plant CARE数据库对MdCKX7.2启动子顺式作用元件进行预测分析,发现MdCKX7.2启动子序列中存在光、干旱、脱落酸、水杨酸、茉莉酸甲酯等响应元件。基因表达分析发现,‘嘎拉’幼苗中MdCKX7.2的表达明显受干旱和ABA的诱导。通过农杆菌介导的遗传转化获得MdCKX7.2转基因拟南芥植株。抗性试验表明,异位表达MdCKX7.2基因明显提高了拟南芥对干旱胁迫的抗性。拟南芥种子萌发试验表明,在拟南芥中异位表达MdCKX7.2提高了植株对ABA的敏感性,种子萌发率和幼苗鲜质量明显下降,与种子萌发相关基因的表达量明显上调。以上试验结果表明,MdCKX7.2在植物非生物胁迫响应中发挥重要作用。     

Role of chlorogenic acid in endothelial dysfunction in db/db mice

AIM: To explore the effects of chlorogenic acid (CGA) on endothelial dysfunction in db/db mice and the possible mechanism. METHODS: Male db/db mice (n=12) were divided into control group and CGA group, with 6 mice in each group. The mice in CGA group were treated with diet containing 0.02% CGA, while the mice in control group were given normal diet only. The observation period was 12 weeks. Fasting blood glucose level, tail blood pressure and the body weight were analyzed each week. At the end of the 12th week, the mice were anesthetized and blood was taken from carotid artery. The plasma levels of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), catalase (CAT), NAD(P)H dehydrogenase quinone 1 (NQO1) and glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPx-1) were measured by ELISA. The mouse aortas were isolated, and the superoxide anion and nitric oxide (NO) levels were measured by DHE and DAF-2 DA staining, respectively. Wire Myograph System was used to detect the vasorelaxation of db/db mouse aorta. The protein levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (p-AMPK), phosphorylated endothelial NO synthase (p-eNOS), P22^phox and P47^phox were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Dietary CGA decreased fasting blood glucose and body weight in db/db mice as compared with control group (P<0.01 or P<0.05). The plasma levels of HO-1, CAT, NQO1 and GPx-1 in CGA group were higher than those in control group (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Administration of CGA for 12 weeks attenuated superoxide anion level, increased NO level in the mouse endothelium and improved endothelium-dependent relaxation of the db/db mouse aorta. CGA also increased the protein levels of PPARα, Nrf2, p-AMPK and p-eNOS, and decreased P22^phox and P47^phox levels (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Dietary CGA improves db/db mouse endothelium-dependent relaxation. This effect may be related to the increases in the levels of antioxidant molecules PPARα, Nrf2 and p-AMPK, and the up-regulation of antioxidant capacity, thus decreasing the oxidative stress, promoting eNOS phosphorylation, and increasing NO level.

Lycopene protects primary mouse cerebrocortical neurons against t-BHP-induced damage in vitro

AIM: To investigate the protective effect of lycopene on primary mouse cerebrocortical neurons exposed to tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP) and its mechanisms of in vitro.METHODS: Primary cerebrocortical neurons of newborn C57 mice were extracted and divided into normal group, t-BHP group, lycopene+t-BHP group and lycopene group. The neuronal damage was induced by t-BHP exposure for 24 h, and the cell viability was examined by MTT assay. ROS content was measured by flow cytometry, and the protein levels of Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, cleaved caspase-3 and cytochrome C were examined by Western blot.RESULTS: The primary mouse cortical neurons expressed MAP-2 protein. Lycopene at concentration of 4 μmol/L reversed the decrease in cell viability. Flow cytometry revealed that lycopene treatment attenuated ROS content under the condition of t-BHP exposure. In addition, the protein level of Bcl-2 was increased, and the expression of Bax, cleaved caspase-3 and cytochrome-C was suppressed in lycopene+t-BHP group.CONCLUSION: The protective effect of lycopene on cortical neurons with t-BHP-induced injury may be involved in the mechanism of neuronal antioxidative response by down-regulating caspase-3 and Bax/Bcl-2 through the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway.     

外源Ca~(2+)对莲藕幼苗盐胁迫的缓解效应

以莲藕H_2(花藕品种,盐敏感)为材料,利用NaCl与Ca(NO_3)_2处理3片立叶的幼苗,研究外源Ca~(2+)对缓解植株盐胁迫的生理作用。结果显示:采用NaCl处理后,叶片中叶绿素、可溶性蛋白含量和SOD活性显著降低,而细胞膜透性、丙二醛和脯氨酸含量升高;利用不同浓度的Ca~(2+)进行缓解处理,发现外源施加低浓度的Ca~(2+)后,叶片叶绿素、可溶性蛋白含量和SOD活性均显著提高,脯氨酸含量较之前升高幅度更大,而细胞膜透性和丙二醛含量后期显著降低,说明Ca~(2+)对缓解莲藕盐胁迫具有较好的效果。当Ca~(2+)浓度增加时,缓解作用不明显,甚至出现抑制效果。
