荔枝果皮对外源钙和蔗糖吸收及向细胞壁沉着的研究

利用放射性同位素示踪技术研究荔枝果皮对外源钙和蔗糖的吸收及细胞壁构建规律。结果表明,进入果皮的蔗糖主要被用以构建细胞壁,但随果实发育,蔗糖用于构建细胞壁比例减少,更多分布于果皮组织的可溶性成分中;果梗向果实运输钙的效率远远低于蔗糖运输效率;NAA处理果实短期内可明显促进蔗糖向果实运输,但不能促进果梗的钙进入果实,说明蔗糖和钙向果实运输有不同调控机制;施于果实表面的钙虽可被吸收并成为细胞壁的结构钙,但比例不到千分之一;硝酸(根)离子和NAA可一定程度促进外源钙向细胞壁沉着;抗裂的怀枝果皮细胞壁的钙含量比易裂的糯米糍高,其细胞壁结合外源钙的能力也强于后者,说明前者细胞壁中果胶半乳糖醛酸残基含量高于后者,也是怀枝具有较强抗裂性的物质基础之一;2品种14C-蔗糖向果皮细胞壁沉着均在果实发育初期最活跃,怀枝细胞壁构建也只是在果实发育初期比糯米糍更活跃,这就意味着抗裂性形成的关键时期是在果皮发育的初期。     

富士苹果施钙肥效应

以8年生富士苹果(Malusdomesticacv.Fuji)为试材进行不同组合钙肥试验,结果表明,土施CaSO4肥显著提高了土壤总钙、交换性钙和果实钙含量,以3.5kg/株CaSO4处理效果最显著;将3.5kgCaSO4分为幼果期和膨大期2次使用增钙效果明显,分期施肥无论配合秋施有机肥还是春季喷氨基酸钙都极显著提高了果实钙含量,以S2+1.5AM处理(春施2kgCaSO4+喷3遍氨基酸钙+夏施1.5kgCaSO4+秋施5kg苹果专用有机肥)的钙含量最高,达到179.17mg/kg;秋施苹果专用有机肥明显提高果实钙含量,增加根系和枝条的贮藏钙,以10kg/株配合春施1kg/株CaSO4的效果较好。当有机肥施用量达到15kg/株或CaSO4超过3.5kg/株时增钙效果下降。交换性钙、土壤及果实Ca/Mg比值与果实钙含量呈正相关,土壤速效磷、钾、果实N/Ca比值与果实钙含量呈显著负相关。不同施肥处理果实的N/Ca比值和Ca/Mg比值差异显著,采收时富士果实N/Ca比值<17,Ca/Mg比值≥7,贮藏期间的苦痘病发生率较低。有利于富士苹果钙素营养的施肥组合是秋冬施有机肥加钙化肥、幼果期喷钙和果实膨大期土施钙肥。     

叶面喷施硼酸对苹果果实硼和钙含量的影响

 以‘富士’苹果为试材，通过幼果期、果实膨大期和果实成熟期叶面喷施硼酸，研究硼对果实硼和钙含量的影响。结果表明：从叶面喷硼对果实吸收硼的短期效果来看，果实发育的不同时期叶面喷施硼酸均促进果实对硼、钙的吸收，并且处理的效果顺序是：幼果期>果实膨大期>果实成熟期；在果实采收时硼含量为：果实膨大期>果实成熟期>幼果期。不同时期叶面喷施硼酸均提高了果肉细胞中水溶态硼、半束缚态硼和束缚态硼的绝对含量，从3种形态硼所占的比例来看，随着果实不断发育，水溶态硼和半束缚态硼比例升高，而束缚态硼比例下降。     

Mitogen-activated protein kinase is involved in the changes of intracellular free calcium concentration induced by wound exudate in cultured rat epidermal stem cells

AIM: To observe the effects of harvested wound exudate on intracellular free Ca²⁺ in epidermal stem cells (ESCs) in vitro, and to investigate the relationship between mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) signal pathways and Ca²⁺ mobilization in this condition.METHODS: Wound exudate was harvested from the 80 full-thickness wounds produced on both sides of the back in 40 adult Wistar rats. ESCs were isolated, purified from neonatal Wistar rats by referring to the formerly records and binding our ideas. When the cultured cells showed up clone growing, they were divided into five groups as follows: group A: control group (no-treatment); group B: only treatment with wound exudate; group C: treatment with wound exudate and PD98059; group D: treatment with wound exudate and SB203580; group E: treatment with wound exudate, PD 98059 and SB203580. Then, the cells were incubated with fluorescence Ca²⁺ dye fluo-3/AM at 37 ℃ for 30 min, and measured by using laser scanning confocal microscope.RESULTS: The results showed that the fluorescent intensity of group B was higher than that in group A. A phenomenon of calcium oscillation was found in group C and group D. Furthermore, a rapid decrease of fluorescent intensity was observed in the cells that were preincubated with PD98059 and SB203580 at the same time. CONCLUSION: Based on above results, we propose that wound exudate can directly induce an increase in intracellular free Ca²⁺concentrations of ESCs. MAPKs signaling pathway has an important function of feedback regulation for free Ca²⁺ mobilization of ESCs in this condition, and also is capable of affecting the biological behaviour of epidermal stem cells.     

Neuropeptide Y induced redistribution of intracellular free calcium in rat cardiomyocytes

AIM: To investigate the effect of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on intracellular free calcium(［Ca²⁺］_i) and Ca²⁺ sarcoplasmic reticulum of cardiomyocytes in rats.METHODS: Cardiomyocytes of neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats were incubated with NPY at concentration of 100 nmol/L for 24 h. Fluorescent indicator Fluo-4 AM was used to detect ［Ca²⁺］_i and Fluo-5N AM was used to detect Ca²⁺ in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Calcium image was recorded by laser scanning confocal microscope. The SR Ca²⁺ load was estimated by caffeine-induced Ca2+ transient (CCT). RESULTS: 24 h after incubation with NPY, compared with control group, the concentration of ［Ca²⁺］_i was significantly elevated (P<0.05), and the concentration of free Ca2+ in SR (［Ca²⁺］_SR) was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the peak of CCT was attenuated.CONCLUSION: Stimulation with NPY for 24 h causes redistribution of free calcium in rat cardiomyocytes, namely the elevation in ［Ca²⁺］_i and decline in ［Ca²⁺］_SR.     

Potato brown rot incidence and severity under different management and amendment regimes in different soil types

Ralstonia solanacearum race 3 biovar 2, the causative agent of potato brown rot (bacterial wilt), is an economically important disease in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions of the world. In view of previous reports on suppression of the disease by organic amendments, and the expansion of organic agriculture, it was timely to compare the effects of organic and conventional management and various amendments on brown rot development in different soils (type: sand or clay; origin: Egypt or the Netherlands). Brown rot infection was only slightly reduced in organically compared to conventionally managed sandy soils from Egypt, but organic management significantly increased disease incidence and pathogen survival in Dutch sandy and clay soils, which correlated with high DOC contents in the organic Dutch soils. There was no correlation between disease incidence or severity and bacterial diversity in the potato rhizosphere in differently managed soils (as determined by 16S DGGE). NPK fertilization reduced bacterial wilt in conventional Egyptian soils but not in Dutch soils. Cow manure amendment significantly reduced disease incidence in organic Dutch sandy soils, but did not affect the bacterial population. However, cow manure did reduce densities of R. solanacearum in Egyptian sandy soils, most probably by microbial competition as a clear shift in populations was detected with DGGE in these and Dutch sandy soils after manure amendment. Amendment with compost did not have a suppressive effect in any soil type. The absence of a disease suppressive effect of mineral and organic fertilization in Dutch clay soils may be related to the already high availability of inorganic and organic nutrients in these soils. This study shows that the mechanism of disease suppression of soil-borne plant pathogens may vary strongly according to the soil type, especially if quite different types of soil are used.     

Calcium ion promotes successful penetration of powdery mildew fungi into barley cells

To determine whether Ca²⁺ promotes powdery mildew penetration, Ca²⁺-treated barley coleoptiles were inoculated with conidia of pathogenic and nonpathogenic fungi. Penetration efficiency of the pathogenic powdery mildew Blumeria graminis was enhanced by Ca²⁺ treatment, but that of the necrotrophic pathogen Helminthosporium sp. remained unaffected. Similarly, when actin-dependent penetration resistance is suppressed with cytochalasin A, Ca²⁺ treatment specifically enhanced penetration of the nonpathogenic powdery mildew Erysiphe pisi but not that of other nonpathogens. Calmodulin inhibitors suppressed the promotive effect of Ca²⁺ on B. graminis penetration. These results suggest that barley powdery mildew specifically requires Ca²⁺ and calmodulin for penetration.

外源钙处理对马铃薯块茎重量和数量的影响

以马铃薯品种费乌瑞它(Favorita)为试材,采用营养液无土栽培法,设5个外源钙浓度水平(25,75,150,300和500 mg/L),研究外源钙浓度对马铃薯单株块茎平均重量、数量和块茎内钙浓度的影响。结果表明,随外源钙浓度的升高,马铃薯单株块茎的数量减少。单株块茎的平均重量,以钙水平150,300和500 mg/L增幅较大,显著高于钙水平为25和75 mg/L的处理。单株产量以钙水平25、75、150和300 mg/L的处理显著高于钙水平500 mg/L处理。然而随外源钙浓度的升高,马铃薯商品率明显提高,块茎内钙浓度也相应升高,但块茎内钙浓度与块茎数量呈负相关关系。
