橙皮素对金黄葡萄球菌α-溶血素表达的抑制作用

α-溶血素在金黄葡萄球菌的致病过程中发挥着不可或缺的作用。本研究采用最小抑茵浓度测定、茵液上清溶血活性以及α-溶血素含量测定、荧光定量PCR及细胞毒性的测定等相关试验验证了橙皮素对金黄葡萄球菌α-溶血素表达的影响。结果显示,无抗茵活性的橙皮素在较低质量浓度下即可抑制金黄葡萄球菌α-溶血素的表达及其编码基因的转录,是-种潜在的以毒力因子为靶标的前导化合物,并可进一步开发用于抗金黄葡萄球茵感染。     

橙皮素对铅致大鼠睾丸损伤的保护作用

为研究橙皮素对铅致大鼠睾丸损伤的保护作用,将24只健康雄性SD大鼠随机分为4组(对照组、铅组、橙皮素组、铅+橙皮素组),各组每日分别灌服生理盐水(0.9%)、醋酸铅(500mg/L)、橙皮素(50mg/kg)、醋酸铅(500mg/L)+橙皮素(50mg/kg),连续8周后,处死大鼠并收集睾丸。检测大鼠睾丸组织中丙二醛(MDA)含量、还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPx)活性和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性。结果表明,铅可显著提高MDA含量和GPx活性(P<0.05),增幅分别为62.74%和65.67%,显著降低GSH含量和CAT活性(P<0.05),降幅分别为33.08%和45.88%;橙皮素能显著降低铅处理组MDA含量和GPx活性(P<0.05),显著提高GSH含量和CAT活性(P<0.05)。说明铅可导致大鼠睾丸组织脂质过氧化损伤,橙皮素对铅导致的损伤具有一定保护作用。     

施氮量对间作小麦蚕豆根系分泌槲皮素和橙皮素的影响

【目的】系统探讨间作条件下,不同施氮水平不同生育期小麦和蚕豆根系分泌槲皮素和橙皮素的动态变化及累积特征,为进一步探明间作增产控病机制提供依据。【方法】通过盆栽试验,采用小麦与蚕豆根系尼龙分隔(MB)和塑料分隔(PB)两种间作种植模式,测定间作小麦蚕豆不同氮水平(低氮1/2N:常规施氮量的一半;常规施氮N;高氮3/2N:常规施氮量的1.5倍)条件下,不同生育期根系分泌槲皮素和橙皮素数量。【结果】施氮水平和间作体系根系不同分隔方式影响作物生物量和根冠比。随着施氮量增加,小麦和蚕豆生物量增加45%—62.5%和3.2%—18.9%,根冠比降低33.8%—47.3%和11.8%—26.9%;与塑料分隔相比,相同施氮水平条件下,作物生长60 d时,尼龙分隔小麦和蚕豆生物量分别提高4.2%—25%、19%—38.6%,随生长天数增加差异逐渐不显著。间作根系不同分隔方式和施氮量均能影响小麦蚕豆根系槲皮素和橙皮素的分泌量。随施氮量增加,小麦蚕豆槲皮素和橙皮素分泌量减少,与低氮条件相比,常规施氮和高氮条件下,小麦槲皮素分泌量减少了23.4%和62.3%,橙皮素分泌量减少了32.2%和64.5%;蚕豆槲皮素分泌量减少了35.4%和44.1%,橙皮素减少了11.9%和23.9%。相同氮水平条件下,尼龙分隔小麦蚕豆槲皮素和橙皮素分泌量高于塑料分隔,低氮和常规施氮条件下,尼龙分隔小麦槲皮素的分泌量分别高于塑料分隔15.3%和27.1%,橙皮素的分泌量分别高于塑料分隔21%和13.7%;蚕豆根系尼龙分隔槲皮素分泌量高于塑料分隔34.6%和56.6%,橙皮素高于塑料分隔16.9%和5.1%;高氮条件下两种根系分隔方式之间差异不显著。【结论】间作根系不同分隔方式影响小麦和蚕豆根系槲皮素和橙皮素的分泌,但这种影响受施氮水平的调控,低氮和常规施氮条件下,尼龙分隔小麦和蚕豆根系槲皮素和橙皮素分泌量高于塑料分隔,高氮条件下差异不显著。     

Influences of intercropping and nitrogen supply on flavonoid exudation in wheat roots

Abstract

Soil and hydroponic experiments were carried out to examine the influences of intercropping and nitrogen supply on flavonoid exudation in wheat roots. Both experiments comprising three cropping patterns (wheat intercropped with faba bean, monocropped wheat, and monocropped faba bean) and three N supply levels (deficient, adequate, and excessive) with three replicates in a randomized complete block design. Across two experiments, intercropping increased but N fertilization decreased flavonoids of wheat roots frequently. Intercropping variably increased secretion of naringenin from 0.5 to 1.9 folds (P?<?0.5) in wheat roots at all three N levels, but rarely increased secretion of genistein and hesperetin in wheat at the deficient N level. Intercropped wheat secreted more flavonoids than monocropped wheat at its tillering (60^th d) and flowering (95^th d) stages; after the flowering stage, however, the differences between intercropping and monocropping were not significant at any N level. Secretion of flavonoids in wheat roots decreased with increased N supply. Interspecies and N supply altered the contents and proportions of flavonoids in wheat root exudations under wheat and faba bean intercropping. These results indicate facilitative root–root interactions and provide insight into cereal promote nodule of legume in intercropping system.
