不同光质对烟草叶片中类半胱氨酸蛋白酶基因表达和活性的影响(英文)

Effects of Different Light Qualities on Activity and Gene Expression of Caspase-like Proteases in Tobacco Leaves

[目的]探讨不同光质对烟草叶片生长发育及衰老进程中类半胱氨酸蛋白酶活性及其基因表达的调控。[方法]通过覆盖不同颜色滤膜(白膜、红膜、黄膜、蓝膜和紫膜)获得不同的光质,监测不同光质下的烟草叶片在生长发育及衰老过程中叶绿素含量、类半胱氨酸蛋白酶活性及相关几个基因表达的变化。[结果]与白、红、黄膜处理相比,蓝膜和紫膜处理延缓了烟草叶片生长后期叶绿素含量的下降和衰老进程,同时蓝、紫膜处理的烟草叶片有相对较低的类半胱氨酸蛋白酶活性和相关的几个基因的表达量。[结论]不同光质对烟草叶片的生长发育及衰老进程有不同的影响,这在某种程度上是通过影响类半胱氨酸蛋白酶及其相应的基因表达来实现的。

[Objective] The study aimed to investigate the activity and gene expression of caspase-like proteases in tobacco leaves growing under different light qualities. [Method] By covering tobacco plants with white, red, yellow, blue and purple films to obtain different light quality, the changes of chlorophyll content, activity and gene expression of caspase-like proteases in the tobacco leaves were studied. [Results] Compared with treatments of white, red and yellow film, blue and purple films delayed the decrease of chlorophyll content and senescence of tobacco leaves at the late growth stage, and relatively lowered the activity and gene expression of caspase-like proteases during growth, development and senescence periods. [Conclusion] Different light qualities exhibited various effects on the growth, development and senescence of tobacco leaves, possibly by affecting the activity and gene expression of caspase-like proteases to some extent.
