摘要
The relationship between Ca 2+ and ethylene response was investigated through analyzing the effect of Ca 2+ on the response to ethylene in etiolated tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill cv. Lichun) seedling grown in darkness. When the etiolated tomato seedlings were treated with different concentrations of Ca 2+, the 'triple response' phenotype, ethylene production, the expression of ethylene receptor gene NEVER-RIPE (NR) and the content of cytosolic CaM were determined. With the concentration of Ca 2+ in the culture medium increasing from 0 mmol/L to 3.8 mmol/L, the 'triple response' phenotype of etiolated tomato seedling was correspondingly strengthened; meanwhile the ethylene production, the amount of NR gene expression and the concentration of CaM increased respectively. However, when the concentration of Ca 2+ was increased from 3.8 mmol/L to 10 mmol/L, the phenotype of 'triple response', ethylene production, NR gene expression, and the CaM content didn't increase further, but decreased consequently. The results indicated that the effect of Ca 2+ on the ethylene triple response in etiolated tomato seedling was relevant to ethylene biosynthesis and ethylene receptor gene expression which were influenced by applied Ca 2+, and these effects might be mediated through the change of CaM concentration in plant cell.
研究了Ca2 + 对番茄 (LycopersiconesculentumMillcv.Lichun)黄化幼苗乙烯反应的影响。通过测定不同Ca2 + 浓度条件下番茄黄化幼苗的“三重反应”、内源乙烯释放量、乙烯受体基因NEVER_RIPE(NR)表达量及胞内CaM含量的变化 ,结果发现 ,随着培养基中Ca2 + 浓度从 0mmol/L增加到 3.8mmol/L ,番茄黄化幼苗的“三重反应”表型明显增强 ,内源乙烯释放量、NR基因的表达量及胞内CaM的含量都有不同程度的增加 ;当Ca2 + 浓度由 3.8mmol/L进一步增加到 10mmol/L时 ,番茄黄化幼苗“三重反应”表型受到抑制 ,内源乙烯释放量、NR基因的表达量及胞内CaM的含量都有所下降。因此 ,Ca2 + 对番茄黄化幼苗“三重反应”的影响与Ca2 + 调节内源乙烯合成和乙烯受体基因的表达有关 ,而且Ca2 +
