After the treatment with different concentrations of sodium nitroprusside, the effects on the metabolites and key enzyme activities in carbon-nitrogen metabolism of cherry tomato cuhivar Zhuyun as an experimental material were investigated. The results showed that from seed germination to seedling period, the contents of starch and total nitrogen decreased, but the contents of soluble sugar, reducing sugar, sucrose and soluble protein increased firstly and then decreased; and free amino acids content increased gradually. Sodium nitroprusside made the contents of starch, sucrose and free amino acids higher than CK. From seed germination to seedling period in cherry tomato, the activities of amylase, glutamine synthetase (GS) and sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) decreased; the activities of nitrate reductase (NR) and glutamate synthase (GOGAT) increased at first and decreased then; and the CK and the 0.25 mmol/L sodium nitroprusside treatments exhibited de- creased sucrose synthase (SS) activity, and the trend was increasing at first and decreasing then after the treatment with 0.50 and 1.00 mmol/L sodium nitroprus- side. Sodium nitroprusside treatment improved amylase activity; and the carbon-nitrogen ratio of the CK increased at first and decreased then, while the values of other treatments tended to decrease. In addition, sodium nitroprusside did not affect seed germination potential and germination rate, but significantly improved biomass accumulation, root length and height of seedlings. These data suggest that sodium nitroprusside could affect the conversion of starch and sugar accumulation, delay the decomposition of total nitrogen and soluble protein, and achieve the effects of accelerating the accumulation of free amino acids, and promoting seed germination and seedling growth, and 0.50 mmol/L sodium nitroprusside has the best effect.展开更多

Some physiological indexes and yield ofD. styracifolium were compared among five nitrogen top-dressing levels (0, 37.5, 75.0, 112.5 and 150.0 kg N. hm-2). Results showed that the nitrogen top-dressing could significantly increase the contents of chlorophyll, soluble protein, sucrose and nitrogen as well as nitrate reducase activity. However, there were no significant differences in most of these indexes under high nitrogen levels. Consistently, there was no significant difference in yield among nitrogen top-dressing levels of 75 kg N.hm-2, 112.5 kg N. hm-2 and 150 kg N-hm-2. Therefore, the optimum nitrogen top-dressing level ofD. styracifolium was 75 kg N. hm-2.展开更多

Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of water stress and FB on seed protein, oil, fatty acids, nitrate reductase activity (NRA), and nitrogenase activity (NA). A repeated greenhouse experiment was conducted where one set of soybean plants were subjected to water stress (WS), and the other set was watered (W). Foliar boron (B) was applied at rate of 0.45 kg·ha-1. Treatments were watered-plants with no FB (W), watered-plants with FB (WB), water-stress plants with no FB (WS), and water-stress plants with FB (WSB). The results showed that seed protein and oil percentage were significantly (P 15N/ 14N and 13C/12C natural abundance were altered between watered-and watered-stressed plants. These results suggest that water stress and FB can influence seed composition, and nitrogen metabolism, and 15N/14N and 13C/12C ratios, reflecting environmental and metabolic changes in carbon and nitrogen fixation pathways. Lack of B translocation from leaves to seed under water stress may suggest a possible mechanism of limited B translocation under water stress. These findings may be beneficial to breeders to select for B translocation efficiency under drought conditions. Altered 15N/14N and 13C/12C under water stress can be used as a tool to select for drought tolerance using N and C isotopes in the breeding programs.展开更多

[Method] With Shangqie1 as an experiment material, the effects of red light, blue light, red-blue light, red-blue light and white light(control) on the carbon-nitrogen metabolism and root vitality of eggplant were investigated. [Result] Different light quality significantly affected sugar and starch contents in leaves of eggplant. Under the red-blue light(5∶1) treatment, the sucrose, total sugar and starch contents were the highest, and the values were higher than those under the white light treatment by 3.47%, 13.61% and 33.49%,respectively. The fructose content was the highest under white light. Under red-blue light(3∶1) and red-blue light(5∶1), the nitrate nitrogen contents were higher than that under white light, indicating that compound light affects nitrate content not only by simple superposition of light quality, but also by other type of interaction effect. The free amino acid and soluble protein contents under blue, red-blue(3∶1), red-blue(5∶1) and red light treatments were all higher than those under the white light treatment, and the blue light treatment exhibited the highest values, which were higher than those under white light by 24.89% and 46.62%, respectively, with significant differences. The red-blue light(5 ∶1) treatment exhibited the highest root vitality of eggplant, which was higher than that under the white light treatment by 31.85%. The red light treatment had the second highest root vitality, which was higher than that under the white light treatment by 19.30%, followed by the red-blue light(5∶1) treatment, and the blue light treatment showed the lowest value. [Conclusion] Under red-blue light(5 ∶1) treatment, eggplant had vigorous carbon-nitrogen metabolism and the highest root vitality.展开更多

The results showed that the effects of magnesium at low nitrogen rate on N content, soluble protein, soluble sugar contents were not alike at different growth stage, although nodule dry weights raised, the yield and protein content of seeds decreased, however, the oil content was improved. The application of magnesium at medium and high nitrogen supplying levels promoted the uptake of N effectively, increased the soluble protein and soluble sugar contents, but the nodule dry weights of application magnesium at medium nitrogen supplying level decreased and the yield increased only a little despite the improved quality. Application of magnesium at high nitrogen supplying level raised nodule dry weights and soybean yield significantly, the quality of seeds was also improved.展开更多
