NaCl胁迫下胡杨(Populus euphratica)和群众杨(P.popularis)抗氧化能力及耐盐性

在盐浓度逐渐提高的胁迫条件下，对抗盐的胡杨（Populuseuphratica）和盐敏感的群众杨（Ppopularis35-44）1年实生苗木叶片中Na^＋、Cl^-水平、O2^-产生速率以及抗氧化酶：超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶（APX）、过氧化氢酶（CAT）和谷胱甘肽还原酶（GR）的动态变化以及抗盐性进行了研究。结果表明，在盐浓度不断提高的胁迫条件下，群众杨叶片中Na^＋、Cl^-浓度持续增加，盐胁迫18d时，群众杨叶中Na^＋、Cl^-含量分别达到对照的17．8和14．6倍，此时O2^-产生速率也达到最高水平。而在盐胁迫期间，群众杨叶片SOD活性没有明显提高，CAT活性维持在对照水平以下，只有APX和GR活性在盐胁迫13—18d，即盐害症状出现前才有所上升，属于典型的盐害反应。胡杨与群众杨明显不同：在盐胁迫初期，胡杨叶片Na^＋、Cl^-含量虽然没有明显的变化，但胡杨叶片中O2^-产生速率在盐胁7d时明显提高，SOD、APX、CAT活性也都先后相应上升，表明胡杨能响应盐胁迫并上调SOD、APX和CAT等保护酶类，降低盐诱导的膜脂过氧化，从而减少了电解质外渗，最终提高了树木的抗盐性。

Two novel eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A genes from Populus simonii×P.nigra confer tolerance to abiotic stresses in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The role of plant eIF5A proteins in multiple biological processes, such as protein synthesis regulation, translation elongation, mRNA turnover, programmed cell death and stress tolerance is well known. Toward using these powerful proteins to increase stress tolerance in agricultural plants, in the present study, we cloned and characterized PsneIFSA2 and PsneIFSA4 from young poplar （P. simonii × P. nigra） leaves. The deduced amino acid sequences of PsneIF5A2 and PsneIF5A4 were 98 % similar to each other, and they are orthologs of eIF5A 1 in Arabidopsis. In a subcellular localization analysis, PsneIF5A2 and PsneIF5A4 proteins were localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm, qRT-PCR analysis showed that PsneIF5A2 and PsneIF5A4 were transcribed in poplar flowers, stem, leaves, and roots. In addition, they were also induced by abiotic stresses. Transgenic yeast expressing PsneIF5A2 and PsneIF5A4 had increased salt, heavy metal, osmotic, oxidative tolerance. Our results suggest that PsneIF5A2 and PsneIF5A4 are excellent candidates for genetic engineering to improve salt and heavy metal tolerance in agricultural plants.

Emissions of saturated C6-C10 aldehydes from poplar (Populus simonii×P. pyramidalis ‘Opera 8277’) cuttings at different levels of light intensity

Aldehydes play an important role in atmospheric chemistry and plant direct and indirect defense against environmental stresses.In this study,the emissions of saturated C6-C10 aldehydes from Populus simonii × P.pyramidalis ＇Opera 8277＇ cuttings were examined by using a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry（GC/MS） technique at three levels of light intensity（400,800 and 1 200 μmol·m-2·s-1）.A positive correlation between the emissions of these aldehydes and light intensity was found.Moreover,nordi-hydroguaiaretic acid（NDGA）,a special inhibitor of lipoxygenase（LOX）,significantly inhibited the emissions of C6-C9 aldehydes at three levels of light intensity,but did not influence the emission of decanal（C10）.The emissions of C6-C10 aldehydes in NDGA treated poplar cuttings,exhibited the same positive correlation with light intensity.The results indicated that LOX pathway contributes to the emissions of C6-C9 aldehydes,whereas some pathways regulated by light intensity might be a universal mechanism for emissions of C6-C10 aldehydes.

Responses of germination and radicle growth of two Populus species to water potential and salinity

Abstract The effects of water potential, NaCl and Na2SO4 on germination and radicle growth of two riparian tree species, Populus euphratica Oliv. and P. pruinosa Schrenk （Salicaceae）, were tested. Growth chamber studies revealed an optimum temperature range for seed germination of both species between 15-35℃. The final germination percentage of both species decreases with decreasing water potential in all types of solution applied in the experiments. P. pruinosa was less tolerant to low ψw stress than P. euphratica, especially in salt solutions. Germination percentages fell below 20% for P. pruinosa at -0.6 MPa （NaCl） or -0.4 MPa （Na2SO4） and for P. euphratica at -1.2 MPa （NaCl） or -0.6 MPa （Na2SO4）. Radicle growth of both species was inhibited by high concentrations of PEG1 NaCl and Na2SO4. However, growth was enhanced at -0.13 and -0.29 MPa in PEG or at -0.13 MPa in NaCl solutions compared to distilled water. Radicle growth of P. euphratica was higher than that of P pruinosa. Germination and radicle growth of both species exhibited ion toxicity. Na2SO4 was more toxic than iso-osmotic solutions of NaCl. Radicle growth proved to be more sensitive than seed germination. Thus, flooding does not only yield the necessary soil moisture for germination but also favors seedling establishment of both species through leaching of salts from the soil surface. The different sensitivity of the species during their early growth stages might, moreover, contribute to the observed differences in their distribution in the Talim Basin （northwest China）.

昆虫取食和挥发物诱导的杨树叶片中LOX和PAL活性变化(英文)

为了探索昆虫取食诱导的木本植物体内所产生的防御反应,以合作杨(Populus simonii×P.pyramidalis,‘Opera8277’)扦插苗为实验材料,经杨扇舟蛾(Clostera anachoreta)幼虫取食后,检测叶片中茉莉酸(jasmonate,JA)途径中的关键酶——脂氧合酶(lipoxygenase,LOX)及苯基丙酸类合成途径中的限速酶——苯丙氨酸解氨酶(phenylalanine ammonia lyase,PAL)的活性变化。结果显示,LOX和PAL的活性不仅在虫咬叶片中出现增加,在虫咬叶片上部的系统叶片中也有显著升高,表明茉莉酸途径和苯基丙酸类合成途径被激活,而且防御反应被系统性诱导。并且,与虫咬植株邻近的健康杨树叶片中LOX和PAL的增加表明,杨树间存在由昆虫取食诱导挥发物介导的信息传递。熏蒸实验也证明,茉莉酸甲酯(methyl jasmonate,MeJA)能够作为气体信号诱导合作杨植株产生防御反应。

Analysis on the change of water potential of Populus euphratica Oliv.and P.Russkii Jabl under different irrigation volumes in temperate desert zone

The measurement of plant water potential is considered to be a direct approach to confirming the irrigation time in present irrigation systems.In this current study,two shelter forests species in the Junggar Basin (Central Asia),Populus euphratica and P.Russkii Jabl,were studied.We monitored leaf water potential (ψl),stem water potential (ψs) and soil water potential (ψsoil) under different irrigation conditions.The characteristics of the variation in leaf and stem water potential (ψl and ψs) of P.euphratica and P.Russkii Jabl,as well as the impact of soil water potential (ψsoil) on the leaf and stem water potential (ψl and ψs) under different irrigation conditions were discussed.Our results showed the following.(1) With increased irrigation,the intensity of drought stress on P.euphratica and P.Russkii Jabl decreased.(2) The intensity of drought stress experienced was less for P.Russkii Jabl than for P.euphratica under the same irrigation conditions.(3) The more intense the drought,the less sensitive was P.Russkii Jabl,but the more sensitive was P.euphratica,and vice versa.(4) For the P.euphratica community the soil water potential (Ψsoil) at 60 cm depth responded to variation in irrigation more strongly than at 30 and 90 cm depths.For the P.Russkii Jabl community the soil water potential (ψsoil) in the shallow surface layer responded to irrigation variation more strongly than that in deep layers.(5) In the event of relatively sufficient soil water,predawn stem water potential (ψpds) of plant was a reasonable indicator reflecting soil water potential (ψsoil).(6) The water demand of P.euphratica and P.Russkii Jabl shelter forests can be met with different irrigation policies:large volume and less frequency for P.euphratica but small volume and more frequency for P.Russkii Jabl.

Rhizosphere organic phosphorus fractions of Simon poplar and Mongolian pine plantations in a semiarid sandy land of northeastern China

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of rhizosphere organic phosphorus （P） in soil P supply in semiarid forests and the effects of tree species on rihizosphere organic P. We examined organic P fractions in rhizosphere and bulk soils of mono-specific Simon poplar （Populus simonii） and Mongolian pine （Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica） plantations in a semiarid sandy soil of Horqin Sandy Land in Northeast China. Total organic P （TPo） accounted for 76% of total P across the two stands. The concentration of organic P （Po） fractions decreased in the order of NaOH-Po〉Res-Po〉HCI-Po〉NaHCO3-Po in both plantations. The concentration of NaHCO3-Po was 38% and 43% lower in rhizosphere soil than in bulk soil in Simon poplar and Mongolian pine plantations, respectively. In contrast, total P, TPo and NaOH-Po significantly accumulated in rhizosphere soil in Simon poplar plantations, but no change in Mongolian pine plantations. Soil recalcitrant organic P fractions were positively correlated with soil organic carbon. The results suggest that rhizosphere labile organic P was an important source of plant-available P in this semiarid region, but the dynamic of rhizosphere recalcitrant organic P fractions varied with tree species and was correlated to organic carbon dynamics.

虫咬及挥发物诱导后合作杨叶片中多酚氧化酶活性的变化

经杨扇舟蛾(Clostera anachoreta)幼虫取食,杨扇舟蛾幼虫诱导的挥发物熏蒸,及茉莉酸甲酯(MeJA)、水杨酸甲酯(MeSA)、顺式己烯醛(cis-hexenal)、反式己烯醛(trans-hexenal)及苯骈噻唑(benzothiazole)熏蒸后,分析了合作杨(Populus simonii×P.pyramidalis‘Opera 8277’)叶片中多酚氧化酶(PPO)活性的变化。虫咬叶及其上部叶片中PPO活性增加了2～4倍,表明合作杨产生了系统抗性。经虫咬诱导的挥发物熏蒸后,合作杨叶片中的PPO活性增加了1倍,推测是合作杨受伤后释放出了具有信号作用的挥发物,诱导邻近植株产生了防御反应。5种外源挥发物都引起了叶片PPO活性升高,因此均可能是合作杨间潜在的气体信号,并且混合挥发物的诱导效果显著高于单一挥发物。EGTA(钙离子螯合剂)和氯化镧(钙通道抑制剂)明显抑制了合作杨虫咬叶片、虫咬上部叶片及虫咬诱导挥发物熏蒸叶中PPO活性的升高,说明钙信号在虫咬及挥发物诱导的PPO活性升高中起着重要作用。

小胡杨小孢子发生及微管骨架变化

利用间接免疫荧光结合DAPI(4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole)染色方法,进行了小胡杨小孢子母细胞减数分裂过程中微管骨架变化和染色体行为的研究。结果表明:①小胡杨小孢子发生过程中细胞内微管骨架呈动态变化过程,中期Ⅱ形成平行纺锤体和垂直纺锤体;末期Ⅱ未观察到典型的成膜体结构,同时型胞质分裂由子核间微管系统的相对界面发生,胞质分裂后形成四边形和四面体型四分体。②小胡杨小孢子母细胞减数分裂过程中还存在各种异常细胞学现象,中期Ⅰ和中期Ⅱ存在落后染色体;中期Ⅱ相互平行纺锤体发生联合;中期Ⅱ和后期Ⅱ孢母细胞两个纺锤体间的胞质会出现裂沟;四分体时期存在三分体和二分体等,说明由于远缘杂交而造成小胡杨染色体的异质性,并在减数分裂过程中得到体现。

盐胁迫条件下杨树盐分与甜菜碱及糖类物质变化

以抗旱耐盐性强的胡杨 (Populuseuphratica)和非抗盐的群众杨 (P .popularis‘35 - 44’)为实验材料 ,研究了盐胁迫条件下盐分与甜菜碱、还原糖、蔗糖以及水溶性糖等细胞相容溶质的动态变化。两种杨树在盐处理期间表现出明显差异 :群众杨下部叶片首先表现出盐害症状 ,处理后两周苗木上部叶片也出现盐害并脱落。而胡杨在试验期间仅下部叶片发黄脱落 ,盐处理 1 5天后落叶量仅为 1 6%。群众杨盐害症状的出现主要是由叶片中盐离子的大量累积所致。与之比较 ,胡杨拒吸Na+的能力及控制Cl- 转运的能力均优于群众杨。另外 ,胡杨的耐盐性强于群众杨也与其有机溶质的变化有关。受到盐胁迫后胡杨根叶中甜菜碱浓度显著提高 ,在处理后 1 5天达到最高值 ,特别是叶片中甜菜碱的浓度提高了 2 4 3倍 ,达到 1 899.8μmol/L ,根中甜菜碱含量也增加了 9倍。此外 ,盐处理后胡杨叶和根中的还原糖、水溶性糖和蔗糖含量均呈明显上升趋势 ,分别在第 4天和第 1 5天达到峰值。与胡杨相反 ,耐盐性弱的群众杨在盐胁迫期间 ,叶中甜菜碱和糖含量并无显著提高 ,根中糖分水平还明显降低。由此可以得出结论 ,胡杨渗透调节能力高于群众杨 。

通辽杨花粉母细胞减数分裂及其染色体行为研究

在温室水培条件下对通辽杨（Populus simonii Carr．×P．nigra L,‘Tongliao’）花粉母细胞减数分裂进程及其染色体行为进行了研究。结果表明：（1）通辽杨花粉母细胞减数分裂与其雄花芽／花序外部特征和花药颜色有着密切关系，前期Ⅰ作为减数分裂过程中最关键而复杂的一个阶段，大约占整个减数分裂进程90％的时间；中期Ⅰ存在单价体，后期Ⅰ有落后染色体出现，表现出较强的遗传杂合性，而且中期Ⅱ平行纺锤体的出现与天然花粉中大花粉的存在之间可能有着一定的联系；（2）在通辽杨减数分裂过程中核仁数目存在1～8个的动态变化，这种现象可能与杨属植物古多倍性起源有关，并推测通辽杨染色体组内至少存在8对带有次缢痕的染色体；（3）在同一个花芽，同一个小花，乃至同一个花药中，往往能同时观察到5～9个不同的分裂相，这种减数分裂不同步性是通辽杨适应环境的一种进化表现，对其种群繁殖具有重要意义。
