Changes in key enzyme activities and metabolites during in vitro maturation of Apostichopus japonicus oocyte under desiccation stress

Understanding the physiological changes of oocyte in vitro maturation are important for improving in in vitro fertilization rates and embryonic development. In this study, Apostichopus japonicus gonads were dissected, and the oocytes and gonadal fluid extracted from the gonads were dried in darkness to induce oocyte maturation. The changes in the germinal vesicle breakdown percentage (GVBDP), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and the concentrations of glutathione (GSH), cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), adenylyl cyclase (AC), protein kinase C (PKC), oestradiol (E2), and metabolites in gonadal fluid–oocyte complexes (GFOC) were detected during desiccation. The GVBDP peaked at 85% after 2 hr of desiccation. The SOD activity and GSH concentration in GFOC increased significantly during desiccation, reaching their maximum values at 0.5 and 2 hr of desiccation respectively (p < 0.05). The concentrations of cAMP, AC, PKC, and E2 decreased significantly during the desiccation treatment (p < 0.05) and reached relatively stable levels after 1 hr of desiccation. After 2 hr of desiccation, among the 68 metabolites detected in the GFOC, the concentrations of 52 metabolites increased and those of 16 metabolites decreased. This study not only provides an effective and simple technique for in vitro induction of A. japonicus oocyte maturation under desiccation stress, but also improves our understanding of gamete biology in this species.     

茶叶生物化学研究进展

茶叶生物化学是研究茶树生命化学的科学,主要在生物化学与分子水平上探讨茶树特别是新梢中特征性次级代谢产物的合成途径、结构与功能,以及在茶叶加工及贮藏过程中的转化规律,与茶叶品质形成的关系。近年来,茶叶生物化学主要侧重在与茶叶品质和健康功效密切相关的儿茶素、咖啡碱、茶氨酸、萜烯类香气物质等合成途径的研究,并在茶树基因组、特异性茶树种质资源代谢组、茶叶加工过程代谢谱、茶叶品质化学等领域开展了深入研究,取得了一些突破性进展。茶叶生物化学作为茶叶科学的基础,其研究成果为茶树栽培和育种、茶叶加工和深加工、茶叶贸易和茶文化提供了理论依据和方法手段。随着行业和科技的发展,茶叶生物化学研究的深入和拓展,在茶产业的可持续发展中发挥着愈来愈重要的作用。     

Metabolite profiling of Komatsuna (Brassica rapa L.) field-grown under different soil organic amendment and fertilization regimes

Among agricultural soil fertility management options, the environmental benefits of organic amendments have recently drawn particular attention. However, little information exists about their effects on crop metabolites or quality. Field plots of Komatsuna (Brassica rapa L. var. perviridis) were planted in a fractional factorial design with the following treatments: soil amendments of cattle manure (0, 2 or 4?kg?m^?2), wheat straw (0, 0.05 or 0.1?kg?m^?2), fast release nitrogen (N) (0, 6 or 12?g?N?m^?2 of ammonium sulfate), slow release N (0, 3 or 6?g?N?m^?2 of coated ammonium nitrate), phosphorus (P) [0, 5 or 10?g phosphorus pentoxide (P₂O₅)?m^?2 of lime superphosphate] and potassium (K) [0, 6 and 12?g potassium oxide (K₂O)?m^?2 as potassium sulfate]. Metabolite profiling was carried out using a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MS), which yielded 62 and 67 metabolites in the leaves and the petioles, respectively. Metabolite peak areas were subjected to principal component analysis (PCA). The first component accounted for 44.1% of the total variance and bore a close relationship to N. The third component accounted for 8.8% of the total variance and was used to distinguish between different levels of manure application. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) of treatment factor effects on individual metabolites showed that the three most significant factors, from highest to lowest, were N absorption, manure amendments and slow release N. The effects of the manure amendments were not fully explained by its attendant N, P or K inputs. This result raises the question as to what mechanisms may bring about the metabolic changes caused by the manure amendment. The current findings will serve to direct further studies on the relationship between crop quality and cultivation procedures and will lead to more efficient quality control methods.
