Anti-chikungunya activity of luteolin and apigenin rich fraction from Cynodon dactylon

Objective:To obtain Iuteolin and apigenin rich fraction from the ethanolic extract of Cynodon dactylon(L.)(C.dactylon) Pers and evaluate the fraction's cytotoxicity and anti-Chikungunya potential using Vero cells.Methods:The ethanolic extract of C.dactylon was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to obtain anti-chikungunya virus(CHIKV) fraction.Reverse phase-HPLC and GC-MS studies were carried out to identily the major phytochemicals in the fraction using phylochemical standards.Cytotoxicity and the potential of the fraction against CHIKV were evaluated in vitro using Vero cells.Reduction in viral replication was assessed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) after treating the viral infected Vero cells with the fraction.Results:Reverse Phase-HPLC and GC-MS studies confirmed the presence of flavonoids,luteolin and apigenin as major phytochemicals in the anti-CHIKV ethanolic fraction of C.dactylon- The fraction was found to exhibit potent viral inhibitory activity(about 98%) at the concentration of 50 μg/mL as observed by reduction in cytopathic effect,and the cytotoxic concentration of the fraction was found to be 250 μg/mL.RT-PCR analyses indicated that the reduction in viral mRNA synthesis in fraction treated infected cells was much higher than the viral infected control cells.Conclusions:Luteolin and apigenin rich ethanolic fraction from C.dactylon can be utilized as a potential therapeutic agent against CHIKV infection as the fraction does not show cytotoxicity while inhibiting the virus.

The genome of the warm-season turfgrass African bermudagrass (Cynodon transvaalensis)

Cynodon species can be used for multiple purposes and have high economic and ecological significance.However,the genetic basis of the favorable agronomic traits of Cynodon species is poorly understood,partially due to the limited availability of genomic resources.In this study,we report a chromosome-scale genome assembly of a diploid Cynodon species,C.transvaalensis,obtained by combining Illumina and Nanopore sequencing,BioNano,and Hi-C.The assembly contains 282 scaffolds(~423.42 Mb,N50=5.37 Mb),which cover~93.2%of the estimated genome of C.transvaalensis(~454.4Mb).Furthermore,90.48%of the scaffolds(~383.08 Mb)were anchored to nine pseudomolecules,of which the largest was 60.78Mb in length.Evolutionary analysis along with transcriptome comparison provided a preliminary genomic basis for the adaptation of this species to tropical and/or subtropical climates,typically with dry summers.The genomic resources generated in this study will not only facilitate evolutionary studies of the Chloridoideae subfamily,in particular,the Cynodonteae tribe,but also facilitate functional genomic research and genetic breeding in Cynodon species for new leading turfgrass cultivars in the future.

Antidiabetic and antidiarrhoeal potentials of ethanolic extracts of aerial parts of Cynodon dactylon Pers

Objective: To explore the antidiabetic and the antidiarrhoeal effects of ethanolic extracts of Cynodon dactylon Pers. aerial parts(EECA) in Wistar rats.Methods: To assess the antidiabetic activity of EECA, oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT) model and alloxan induced diabetic test(AIDT) model were performed. The EECA was used at the doses of 2 g/kg, 1 g/kg and 500 mg/kg body weight in OGTT model and 1.5 g/kg was used for AIDT model. Castor oil-induced diarrhoeal model and gastrointestinal motility test with barium sulphate milk model were performed for evaluating the antidiarrhoeal effects at doses of 1 g/kg, 750 mg/kg respectively.Results: The dose 2 g/kg in OGTT and 1.5 g/kg in AIDT model blood glucose levels decreased significantly(P < 0.01) in Wistar rats that showed antidiabetic effect of EECA. After administration of EECA at the dose of 1 g/kg, the extract showed significant(P < 0.05) antidiarrhoeal activity in castor oil-induced diarrhoeal model. The results were also significant(P < 0.01) in barium sulphate milk model for the same dose by using above mentioned animals.Conclusions: It is concluded that EECA contains both antidiabetic and the antidiarrhoeal properties.

Cynodon dactylon extract ameliorates cognitive functions and cerebellar oxidative stress in whole body irradiated mice

Objective: To explore the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of Cynodon dactylon on the whole body radiation-induced oxidative status of the cerebellum and cognitive impairments in mice. Methods: Swiss albino mice were randomly divided into the control group, radiation control group, low dose and high dose Cynodon dactylon extract treated groups and pre-treated with Cynodon dactylon extract before irradiation. Cynodon dactylon extract was administered for 7 d daily in low dose(0.25 g/kg) and high dose(1 g/kg). On day 7, mice were irradiated with a sublethal dose of 5 Gy gamma rays. Motor coordination was assessed by elevated rotarod test and spatial memory was studied by water maze test. Subsequently, biochemical markers(glutathione, lipid peroxidation and nitric oxide levels) in the cerebellum were evaluated. Results: The gamma irradiated group showed significant impairment in motor coordination and spatial memory compared to normal mice. Mice treated by Cynodon dactylon extract prior to gamma radiation showed good improvement in both paradigms compared to the radiation control group. Moreover, glutathione level was increased, while lipid peroxidation and nitric oxide levels were significantly reduced in mice receiving low dose and high dose of Cynodon dactylon extract compared to the radiation control group. Conclusions: The present study suggests the neuroprotective role of Cynodon dactylon against radiation-induced cognitive impairment and oxidative stress on the cerebellum of mice.

氮沉降对城市绿地植物及土壤养分的影响初探——以果岭草(Cynodon dactylon)为例

大气氮沉降是近年来全球变化研究的焦点问题之一,大量而持续的氮沉降对陆地生态系统造成了广泛的影响,但关于氮沉降对城市绿地生态系统的影响及其机制仍然缺少足够的研究。通过模拟氮沉降控制试验,以NH_4NO_3作为外加氮源,设置了N0、N1、N2和N3(分别相当于氮沉降0、5、10、15 g·m^(-2)·a^(-1))4个不同处理,历时12个月,探讨不同程度氮沉降增加对典型城市绿化物种果岭草(Cynodon dactylon)生长状况及土壤化学性质的影响。研究结果表明:(1)氮沉降量为5 g·m^(-2)·a^(-1)时,果岭草地上、地下生物量以及植株密度最大;氮沉降量为10 g·m^(-2)·a^(-1)时,株高最高;根冠比随着施氮量的增加呈减小趋势;适量氮沉降处理有利于植株的生长以及生物量的积累;同时,降水的季节变化可能影响植物对氮的吸收利用;(2)城市绿地土壤pH值随施氮量的增加呈减少趋势,低度适量的氮沉降作用于城市碱性土壤可以中和土壤酸碱度,调节土壤pH值;(3)施氮处理使得城市绿地土壤中的有效氮含量和城市绿地生产力得到一定程度提高。本研究结果证明氮沉降将对城市绿地植物及土壤理化性质产生持续的影响,同时一定程度的氮沉降对城市绿地植物生产力的提高具有促进作用。

NaCl胁迫下pH值和氮素形态对狗牙根生长及钠钾离子调控的影响

以狗牙根〔Cynodon dactylon(Linn.)Pers.〕品种‘阳江’(‘Yangjiang’)为实验材料、2-(N-吗啡啉)乙磺酸(MES)为pH缓冲剂,采用水培法研究NaCl胁迫下pH值和氮素形态(铵态氮和硝态氮)对狗牙根生长和钠钾离子调控的影响。结果表明:处理1周后,若不添加MES,铵态氮处理组培养液的pH值下降到pH 4.0左右,而硝态氮处理组培养液的pH值则上升到pH 9.0左右;添加20 mmol·L^(-1)MES的铵态氮处理组培养液的pH值也下降到pH 4.0左右,而硝态氮处理组培养液的pH值则接近pH 7.0。与0 mmol·L^(-1)NaCl处理组相比,300 mmol·L^(-1)NaCl处理组狗牙根的枝条长度和枝条干质量显著(P<0.05)下降,而根长度、根干质量、根和叶中Na^(+)含量和Na^(+)/K^(+)比、钠钾选择性转运系数、叶Na^(+)和K^(+)的分泌量及分泌物Na^(+)/K^(+)比总体上显著升高。300 mmol·L^(-1)NaCl胁迫下,硝态氮处理组狗牙根的枝条长度、根长度、根干质量、根冠比、根中Na^(+)含量总体上显著高于铵态氮处理组,而叶中Na^(+)和K^(+)含量及Na^(+)/K^(+)比、叶Na^(+)和K^(+)的分泌量明显低于铵态氮处理组。300 mmol·L^(-1)NaCl胁迫下,20 mmol·L^(-1)MES处理组狗牙根的多数生长指标显著高于0 mmol·L^(-1)MES处理组,而根和叶中Na^(+)和K^(+)含量及Na^(+)/K^(+)比、钠钾选择性转运系数在0和20 mmol·L^(-1)MES处理组间的差异不显著。三因素方差分析结果表明:3个因子的单一和交互作用对多数生长指标、叶中Na^(+)含量和泌盐量相关指标的影响具有统计学意义。研究结果显示:硝态氮能缓解NaCl胁迫对狗牙根的伤害,而用MES缓冲根际酸碱环境对NaCl胁迫下狗牙根生长有一定的促进作用,因此,施用硝态氮或添加MES均有利于提高狗牙根的抗盐性。

Enhanced Cadmium Accumulation in Transgenic Tobacco Expressing the Phytochelatin Synthase Gene of Cynodon dactylon L

Bermudagrass （Cynodon dactylon L. cv. Goldensun） is highly resistant to and accumulates large amounts of cadmium （Cd）. A phytochelatin synthase （PCS） cDNA （CdPCS1） was isolated from this grass by rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The putative CdPCS1 protein shared a high homology with PCS from other plants, with 79% homology at the N-terminal and 47% homology at the C-terminah However, 16 Cys residues were found at the C-terminal of CdPCS1, and among these residues, three positions were different from other PCS proteins. Semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that Cd stress induced CdPCS1 expression in both roots and leaves in Bermudagrass. We verified that CdPCS1 plays an important role in Cd tolerance in yeast cells by expressing the gene in ABDE1, a Cdsensitive mutant. CdPCS1 was then introduced into tobacco plants. The phytochelatin level in some transgenic tobacco lines increased 3.88-fold more than in wild type plants and Cd accumulation in these transgenic plants was enhanced 3.21-fold accordingly. The results suggested that CdPCS1 could be used as a gene element for phytoremediation in the future.

Phytochemical analysis and antifertility potential of Cynodon dactylon in female Wistar rats:A herbal approach towards contraception

Objective:The objective of the present study was to evaluate the antifertility activity of ether(ErCD),chloroform(CeCD)and ethyl alcohol(EyCD)extracts of the whole plant of Cynodon dactylon in female Wistar albino rats.Methods:Acute oral toxicity and an antifertility study were performed in female Wistar rats with two dose levels(200 and 400 mg/kg,orally)of EyCD.The estrogenic and progestogenic effects of EyCD were further observed by administering it to immature Wistar rats by investigations of vaginal cornification,hormonal level,uterus weight,biochemical parameters,histopathology of the uterus and deciduoma formation,respectively.Isolation of EyCD was carried out by Flash Chromatography and isolated fraction was estimated by HPLC.Results:No toxicity with any of the extract was found up to the dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight.EyCD treated rats exhibited maximum reduction in pregnancy(83.33%).Estimation of EyCD on vaginal cornification,estrogen-induced uterotrophic assay and deciduoma model demonstrated vaginal cornification,significant(P<0.01)increase in uterine weight and uterine proliferation in histopathology and reduced deciduoma formation respectively.Hormonal and biochemical parameters confirmed the above findings indicating estrogenic potential and antiprogestogenic potential of EyCD that might be attributed to the presence of phytoestrogen(apigenin)in EyCD.Conclusion:The results suggested that extracts of C.dactylon possess significant antifertility activity,which is consistent with the literature reported in folk medicine of this plant in fertility regulation.

中国野生狗牙根(Cynodon dactylon)种质资源非常丰富,但育成品种较少。为选育更多优良狗牙根新品种以供草坪建植应用,中国热带农业科学院热带作物品种资源研究所自2000年起开展了狗牙根新品种的选育研究,从国内外收集的狗牙根种质资源中筛选出坪用性状优良的种质,经过连续多次单株选择和扩繁、坪用价值系统评价、品种比较试验、区域试验及生产性试验,选育出坪用性状优良的狗牙根新品种‘桂南’狗牙根,于2020年审定通过。‘桂南’狗牙根具有质地细腻、草坪密度大、均一性好、绿色期长、成坪速度快等特点。适于在我国长江中下游及以南地区作为景观绿化和水土保持草坪建植。本研究对‘桂南’狗牙根的选育过程、品种特征特性、栽培技术要点等进行总结,为‘桂南’狗牙根新品种的推广利用提供科学依据。

狗牙根根系抗拉性能对水淹时长的响应

为明确水淹胁迫下植物根系对水淹时长的响应特征,该研究以三峡库区消落带优势植物狗牙根根系为研究对象,以未水淹为对照,分析不同水淹时长下(0,15,30,60,90,120,150和180 d)狗牙根根重密度、根系活力及抗拉性能的变化规律,明确根系抗拉性能对水淹时长的响应规律。结果表明:随着时间的增加,对照组根重密度和根系活力基本无明显变化,而淹没组根重密度与根系活力均随水淹时长增加呈先急剧减小后缓慢减小的变化规律,水淹初期(15 d)减小量分别占根重密度和根系活力总减小量的65.15%和75.86%。水淹环境会明显降低狗牙根根系抗拉性能,根系最大抗拉力和抗拉强度均随水淹时长的增加而下降,180 d水淹分别造成根系抗拉系数和抗拉强度系数减小了59.46%和59.48%。不同直径根系对水淹的响应程度有所不同,根系最大抗拉力下降程度随其直径的增加而增加,0.6~0.7 mm直径狗牙根根系最大抗拉力下降幅度最大,达7.56 N,抗拉强度下降程度则随根系直径的减小而增加,0.1~0.2 mm直径狗牙根根系抗拉强度下降幅度最大,达36.42MPa。因此,水淹显著降低狗牙根根重密度、根系活力和抗拉性能(P<0.05),根系活力能够较好的解释其抗拉性能的变化。研究结果对进一步探究水淹胁迫下根系固土机理具有重要科学意义。

不同抗旱性狗牙根地上地下表型特征及内源激素对干旱胁迫的响应

为了研究干旱胁迫对不同抗旱性狗牙根形态建成及内源激素的影响,明确不同抗旱性狗牙根响应干旱的表型特征及内源激素差异,探讨狗牙根表型特征与内源激素的相关性,丰富狗牙根抗旱理论以及生产实践中利用外源激素调控其抗旱性提供参考。采用PVC管栽植狗牙根,控制不同水分达到预设梯度维持10 d,对其叶、根相对含水量、相对电导率、内源激素[吲哚乙酸(IAA)、脱落酸(ABA)、赤霉素(GA_(3))、玉米素核苷(ZR)、油菜素内酯(Br)]、叶部特征(叶长、叶宽、叶面积)、根部特征(总根长、根表面积、根体积、根平均直径、根干重、最长根长、根系活力)进行测定,分析干旱胁迫下不同抗旱性狗牙根叶、根内源激素比例变化及表型特征与激素的相关性。结果表明,随着干旱胁迫加剧,显著降低了2类狗牙根的叶长、叶宽、叶面积、根平均直径,促进了根部生长发育;提高了叶、根ABA含量,降低了IAA、GA_(3)、ZR、Br含量,且IAA/ABA、GA_(3)/IAA与叶部指标、根部指标呈相反相关性,这均从侧面表明狗牙根叶、根在干旱胁迫下选择了相反的生存策略,即促进地下部生长,抑制地上部生长。抗旱狗牙根通过本身具有较大叶面积或者更发达的根系系统,以及相同胁迫下较高的ZR/ABA、GA_(3)/ABA、IAA/ABA、Br/ABA来维持一定的生长以及减缓衰老来更好地适应干旱胁迫环境。

三峡消落带不同坡度狗牙根及实生土壤生态化学计量特征

三峡库区消落带反季节水位波动驱使下植物的养分适应策略和内稳态特征研究对消落带植被恢复及生态功能调控有重要意义。然而,三峡消落带范围广、地形复杂,不同生境下植物适应特征仍存在不确定性。本研究以三峡消落带广泛分布的优势植物狗牙根为研究对象,选取28个地形差异较大的样地进行采样分析,重点探讨不同坡度(0—5°、5—10°、10—15°、15—20°、>20°)狗牙根及其实生土壤生态化学计量特征的变异关系,揭示坡度对狗牙根养分适应及内稳态的影响机制。结果表明:(1)坡度对狗牙根实生土壤的养分及化学计量特征具有显著影响,土壤有机碳(SOC)、全氮(STN)、速效氮(SAN)、全磷(STP)、速效磷(SAP)含量均随坡度增加而降低,<10°的缓坡消落带土壤养分显著高于10°以上的样地;土壤碳氮比(C∶N)、碳磷比(C∶P)均随坡度增加而降低,而氮磷比(N∶P)比相对稳定,表明坡度增大,土壤营养物的流失具有同步性,且流失速度较有机碳慢;(2)随坡度增加,狗牙根各营养器官C含量呈增加趋势,而氮(N)、磷(P)则呈降低趋势,且坡度变化改变了狗牙根各营养器官间的养分分配;植物根、茎C∶N、C∶P随坡度增加而增加,N∶P随坡度增加而降低,而叶片均没有明显变化,表明在坡度改变了土壤养分供应水平的情况下,狗牙根优先稳定其叶片化学计量比以提高适应能力;(3)坡度与土壤中SOC、STN、SAN含量呈现显著负相关,而土壤STN与狗牙根植物养分及化学计量特征均有显著相关关系,由此可见,坡度变化导致土壤氮素流失增加是影响狗牙根生态化学计量特征分异的主要机制;(4)狗牙根与实生土壤的碳氮磷元素内稳性整体表现为C>P>N,化学计量比内稳性表现为C∶P>C∶N>N∶P,随着坡度增加,狗牙根N、P的内稳性呈增强趋势,而C∶N、N∶P呈显著降低,表明坡度变化导致狗牙根形成了不同的适生策略。研究表明,在三峡库区复杂的地形条件下,狗牙根能有效维持体内化学计量平衡以响应不同的坡度条件,并且内稳性较好,是三峡库区消落带植被恢复与保护的优势植物物种。

不同抗旱性狗牙根种质的抗旱生理响应差异分析

为揭示狗牙根抗旱生理机制,筛选不同干旱胁迫下影响其抗旱性的关键指标,探明不同抗旱性狗牙根对干旱胁迫的响应差异,以2种类型不同抗旱性狗牙根(Cynodon dactylon)种质(敏旱种质:C10和C32;抗旱种质:C118和C138)为供试材料,研究其在渐进式缓慢干旱胁迫下叶片相对含水量、相对电导率、光合色素含量、抗氧化酶活性及渗调物质含量等的变化规律。结果表明,随着土壤含水量降低、干旱胁迫加剧,供试狗牙根叶片的相对含水量不断下降,相对电导率及丙二醛、可溶性蛋白、脯氨酸含量呈升高趋势,光合色素含量及3种抗氧化酶活性呈现先升后降趋势。与敏旱材料相比,抗旱狗牙根种质在中、重度干旱胁迫下能够维持较高的抗氧化酶活性,积累更多的脯氨酸和可溶性蛋白,导致其相对电导率及丙二醛含量增加缓慢。即使同为抗旱类型,不同种质对干旱的响应机制也存在差异,C118具有较高的叶绿素含量,而C138维持较高的类胡萝卜素含量。灰色关联分析表明,中度干旱下,相对电导率、类胡萝卜素含量及超氧化物歧化酶活性受狗牙根的抗旱性影响较大;而重度干旱下,脯氨酸和可溶性蛋白含量与抗旱性的关联度更高。以上结果明确了不同抗旱性狗牙根种质的干旱生理响应机制,为选育耐旱草种及节水技术奠定基础。

赤霉素和细胞分裂素对狗牙根分蘖芽形态结构的影响

分蘖是禾本科植物的生物学特征,分蘖数是草坪草密度评价的关键指标之一。狗牙根(Cynodondactylon)是一种连续分蘖的禾本科草坪草,分蘖促进产生新枝,对于狗牙根草坪迅速返青、形成致密的草坪具有重要的作用。目前有关狗牙根分蘖还没有深入的研究报道,本研究以‘新农1号’狗牙根(‘Xinnong No.1’)为材料,分别喷施1μmol·L^(-1)赤霉素(GA3)和细胞分裂素(6-BA),对分蘖芽的形成进行组织切片,分析解剖结构和表型。结果显示:狗牙根在三叶期形成分蘖原基,在八叶期形成新的分蘖芽后突破母茎;喷施GA3和6-BA使狗牙根形成分蘖芽时间提前,GA3处理分蘖芽提前5 d在七叶期形成,6-BA处理分蘖芽提前8 d在六叶期形成;同时喷施两种激素狗牙根分蘖数和根长均增加,且6-BA处理后分蘖数增加最多,是对照的1.18倍。通过对不同激素处理下分蘖芽形成叶期的解剖结构观察,发现无论表皮厚度、皮层厚度,还是维管束直径均表现为6-BA>GA3>CK,且在6-BA处理下是GA3处理的1.28倍、2.33倍、1.34倍。研究结果表明,在狗牙根分蘖初期喷施6-BA促进分蘖芽生长发育效果优于喷施GA3。
