Monitoring the photosystem II behavior of wild and cultivated barley in response to progressive water stress and rehydration using OJIP chlorophyll a fluorescence transient

To study the effects of progressive drought stress on photosystem II behavior of wild type (Spantaneum) and cultivated barley (Morocco), different levels of soil water availability, including control, moderate, mild, and severe water stress (70%, 50%, 30%, and 10% water holding capacity of soil, respectively) and rehydration were used. Polyphasic OJIP fluorescence transient of Morocco plants exhibited a considerable increase in fluorescence intensity at O, J, and I steps under mild and severe stress relative to slight increase in wild barley. Values of fluorescence parameters and quantum efficiencies, including minimal fluorescence, relative variable fluorescence at phase J and I, maximal quantum yield of photosystem II (PSII), performance index, electron transport yield, and excitation transfer efficiency were influenced by water stress in both genotypes. These parameters were significantly less affected in wild type barley by progressive drought stress compared to Morocco. After re-watering, both genotypes were able to restore from severe drought in most of the traits. Based on our findings, highly correlated values of relative water content (RWC) and independent JIP-test parameters (P < 0.01) indicate that the chlorophyll a fluorescence induction technique is sensitive to plant water status and performance index represent an accurate and reliable indicator for early stress detection and also explore plant vitality under water stress.     

改良剂对柴油污染土壤中黑麦草生理代谢的调节

开展了土壤柴油污染的单因素盆栽实验和柴油污染盐渍化土壤中添加锯末-硝酸铵-磷酸二氢钾的三因素正交盆栽实验,对黑麦草幼苗抗氧化酶活性和叶绿素含量进行了分析,探究了柴油污染土壤中黑麦草幼苗的生理变化与调节。结果表明,土壤柴油污染显著减小了黑麦草幼苗生物量,与对照相比,叶SOD活性在柴油浓度0.3%和0.9%时显著降低,POD和CAT活性在0.6%和0.9%柴油浓度下显著降低;根SOD活性在0.9%柴油浓度下显著增大,POD活性在0.6%和0.9%柴油浓度下显著下降。受柴油污染的盐渍化土壤,施加锯末体积分数为10%时,黑麦草幼苗叶POD和CAT活性显著增强,叶绿素a和叶绿素b含量显著增加;施氮量为0.3 g·kg~(-1)土时,黑麦草幼苗叶绿素a和叶绿素b含量显著增加。可见,土壤受柴油污染时,添加锯末和硝酸铵可有效调节黑麦草幼苗的生理代谢。     

羧甲基纤维素钠对壤砂土水分运动及水力参数的影响

科学使用羧甲基纤维素钠(CMC)实现保水控盐对于滨海壤砂盐碱土改良具有重要意义,而明晰CMC对滨海壤砂土水分运动规律的影响是科学使用CMC的重要基础。为研究施加CMC滨海壤砂土水分运动规律,本文通过开展一维垂直土柱积水入渗试验,探索不同CMC施量(0、0.1、0.2、0.4、0.6 g?kg-1) 对壤砂土入渗特性、水分分布和土壤水力参数的影响。结果表明,施用CMC土壤的最终累积入渗量增加了4.90％～15.17％、达到预设湿润锋深度的入渗时间增加了61.90%～604.73%;Philip入渗模型参数吸渗率S和Green-Ampt模型参数KsSf均随CMC施量的增加而减少,吸渗率S和平均土壤水扩散率与CMC施量之间的数学关系分别可用二次多项式和指数函数来表示;CMC增强了土壤的持水能力,土壤剖面含水量提高了0.72%～3.74%;CMC通过改变土壤结构影响了土壤水力参数,滞留含水率θr、饱和含水率θs及进气吸力倒数α均与CMC施量呈正相关关系,而与饱和导水率Ks和形状系数n呈反比关系。通过对变异系数CV的分析发现,CMC对饱和导水率Ks和进气吸力倒数α影响表现为中等差异,对滞留含水率θr、饱和含水率θs和形状系数n表现为弱差异。研究结果揭示了CMC对滨海壤砂土减渗保水的内在机理,为滨海盐碱地的改良提供了理论参考。

作物的综合光合作用能力直接决定粮食产量,探明作物光合特性分布机制是开发新品种、研发新农艺的一个关键科学问题。为探究玉米植株光合特性的垂直分布规律,该研究利用荧光成像技术对不同品种和不同氮、水处理的5叶期样本进行图像采集,对植株不同叶片的荧光淬灭特性及荧光参数进行分析。荧光淬灭特性分析表明,叶片光量子产量随垂直高度的增加呈上升趋势;由非加权组平均法聚类产生的四类淬灭特性中,郑单958在不同环境中的荧光淬灭垂直分布异质性小于先玉335和浚单20。关键荧光参数分析结果表明,叶片最大光能转换效率、实际光能转换效率、光反应电子传递活性随垂直高度的增加呈上升趋势,除衰老叶片外的非光化学能量耗散差异性不显著。光合特性垂直分布分析表明,不同土壤氮含量下样本的最大光量子效率（Fv/Fm）有较为显著的二次函数分布特征,随着土壤氮含量的降低,垂直分布的异质性增大;不同品种间的稳态光适应光化学淬灭（qL_Lss）有较为显著的一次函数分布特征,郑单958表现出较强的抗逆性。基于机器学习方法,以荧光参数垂直分布数据分类植株组别的结果表明,郑单958样本的最大光量子效率（Fv/Fm）、微量土壤氮含量下样本的最大光量子效率（Fv/Fm）和干旱环境下样本的稳态非光化荧光淬灭（NPQ_Lss）判别准确率分别达0.82、0.94和0.88,与其他处理及荧光参数相比,垂直分布规律更显著;其他荧光参数的分布特征并不能有效判别样本组别。将叶片按植株形态学自下而上排序,由植株叶片光合垂直异质性关键叶片分析,第2片叶片可以作为垂直分布的\

Responses of Batis maritima plants challenged with up to two‐fold seawater NaCl salinity

Batis maritima is a promising halophyte for sand‐dune stabilization and saline‐soil reclamation. This species has also applications in herbal medicine and as an oilseed crop. Here, we address the plant response to salinity reaching up to two‐fold seawater concentration (0–1000 mM NaCl), with a particular emphasis on growth, water status, mineral nutrition, proline content, and photosystem II integrity. Plant biomass production was maximal at 200 mM NaCl, and the plants survived even when challenged with 1000 mM NaCl. Plant water status was not impaired by the high accumulation of sodium in shoots, suggesting that Na⁺ compartmentalization efficiently took place in vacuoles. Concentrations of Mg²⁺ and K⁺ in shoots were markedly lower in salt‐treated plants, while that of Ca²⁺ was less affected. Soluble‐sugar and chlorophyll concentrations were hardly affected by salinity, whereas proline concentration increased significantly in shoots of salt‐treated plants. Maximum quantum efficiency (F_v/F_m), quantum yield of PSII (Φ_PSII), and electron‐transport rate (ETR) were maximal at 200–300 mM NaCl. Both nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) and photochemical quenching (qP) were salt‐independent. Interestingly, transferring the plants previously challenged with supraoptimal salinities (400–1000 mM NaCl) to the optimal salinity (200 mM NaCl) substantially restored their growth activity. Altogether, our results indicate that B. maritima is an obligate halophyte, requiring high salt concentrations for optimal growth, and surviving long‐term extreme salinity. Such a performance could be ascribed to the plant capability to use sodium for osmotic adjustment, selective absorption of K⁺ over Na⁺ in concomitance with the stability of PSII functioning, and the absence of photosynthetic pigment degradation.     

脱水菠菜贮藏过程中颜色变化动力学

为了探讨脱水菠菜在贮藏过程中叶绿素变化及其与颜色损失的关系,鲜菠菜经过热烫处理后冷冻干燥,包装后在25、35、45和55℃下贮藏,测定贮藏过程中叶绿素和颜色变化,以确定脱水菠菜叶绿素和颜色变化动力学。结果表明：无论是否经过热烫前处理,经过冻干技术得到的脱水菠菜,在贮藏过程中其叶绿素的降解与颜色损失都遵循一级反应动力学方程,且叶绿素的减少与颜色损失密切相关（R2＞0.95,p＜0.05）。在未经热烫和经热烫处理后冻干的菠菜其叶绿素降解的活化能分别为39.99 kJ/mol和41.44 kJ/mol。而用色度计测定的红绿值a*和色彩角值h中,经过热烫前处理的脱水菠菜其活化能分别是18.93 kJ/mol和48.08 kJ/mol,而未经烫漂的分别为18.20 kJ/mol和44.04 kJ/mol。与热烫处理的样品相比,未热烫的脱水菠菜更容易失去叶绿素,热烫处理有利于延长脱水菠菜的货架期。相同前处理的脱水菠菜,在设定的贮藏温度下,叶绿素降解、红绿值a*和色彩角值h的速率常数随贮藏温度的升高均逐渐增大,低温贮藏有利于延长脱水菠菜的货架期。在常温下（20℃）脱水菠菜的货架期为168 d（未热烫）或465 d（热烫）。     

大气O3浓度升高对麦田土壤重金属铜生物有效性和生理毒性的影响

在开放式空气O3浓度增加（FACE）平台下,采用盆栽试验,初步研究了O3浓度升高后麦田重金属Cu的生物有效性变化以及对各生长阶段小麦叶片生理毒性的影响。结果表明,在FACE条件下,小麦地上部对Cu的吸收相比于正常大气对应组有增加的现象;与正常大气对应组相比,FACE条件下土壤中有效态Cu的含量也有所增加;随着小麦的生长发育,FACE圈小麦叶片内的MDA含量总体呈上升趋势,O3升高铜污染组的小麦叶片内MDA的含量最高;与正常大气对照组相比,O3升高铜污染组的小麦叶片SOD酶和POD酶比较敏感,在分蘖期其活性受到诱导,但随着暴露时间的增加,抗氧化系统的各个酶的活性逐渐受到抑制。O3加剧了Cu对小麦的牛理胁迫．增加了Cu的牛物有效性。     

4种多年生禾本科牧草种子萌发对Na2CO3胁迫的响应

采用培养眦室内培养方法,研究了4种多年生根茎型耐旱植物俄罗斯新麦草（Elymus junceus Fisch）、苇状羊茅（Festucaarundinacea Schreb）、羊草（Leymus chinensis Trin．Trzvel．）和高冰革（Agropygron elongatum Host Nevski）种子对不同浓度（0、25、50、75和100mmol·L^-1）Na2CO3胁迫及胁迫解除后种子发芽率和幼苗生长的响应。结果表明,4种牧草发芽率均在没有Na2CO3胁迫时最高,且以苇状羊茅最高达到96．8％,羊草最低73．1％;随着胁迫浓度的增加发芽率呈下降趋势,高冰草在100mmol·L^-1Na2CO3下发芽率仍达到14．9％,而其他3种牧草在此浓度下没有观察到萌发的种子。4种牧草的发芽速率均与Na2CO3浓度呈显著负相关,相同Na2CO3浓度下,4种牧草中苇状羊茅最高,羊草最低。Na2CO3胁迫对根长的抑制明显高于苗长,且对不同物种影响不同;75mmol·L^-1Na2CO3胁迫下,除了高冰草根长为3．4cm之外,其他3个物种根的伸长几乎完全被抑制。解除胁迫后,羊草种子发芽恢复最快,且发芽率与原Na：CO,浓度成正比;高冰草、俄罗斯新麦草和苇状羊茅几乎均为0。上述结果说明,4种牧草中,种子萌发期以高冰革耐Na2CO3能力最强,其次是俄罗斯新麦草和苇状羊茅,羊草种子最差;但当胁迫解除后,羊草种子具有较高的萌发恢复率,这也是其适应盐碱环境的一个重要原因.
