DNA超甲基化在小麦耐盐胁迫中的作用

运用高效液相色谱技术测定小麦(Triticum aestivumL.)耐盐品种‘德抗961’和盐敏感品种‘豫麦34’盐胁迫后叶片和根DNA中5-甲基胞嘧啶百分含量的变化,结果表明,经150 mmol/L NaCl处理6 d后,‘德抗961’叶片和根DNA中的5-甲基胞嘧啶的百分含量显著下降,但经150 mmol/L NaCl处理10 d后,耐盐品种‘德抗961’叶片和根DNA中的5-甲基胞嘧啶的百分含量都比盐敏感品种‘豫麦34’的高。由此推测DNA超甲基化可能是植物耐盐机制的一部分。     

重金属胁迫引起的水稻和小麦幼苗DNA损伤

供试浓度的重金属Cu2 、Cd2 和Hg2 能在不同程度上导致水稻和小麦DNA损伤。 (1)Hg2 ≥ 0 .0 2 5mmol L、Cu2 和Cd2 ≥ 0 .1mmol L处理使水稻幼苗期外DNA合成速率显著高于对照 ,且当Cu2 、Cd2 和Hg2 浓度进一步增高时 ,水稻幼苗期外DNA合成速率呈现先上升而后较最大值有所下降的规律。 (2 ) 0 .1～1.0mmol L的Cu2 及 0 .1mmol L的Cd2 、Hg2 能引起水稻、小麦叶内DNA和蛋白质交联 ,并且这种和DNA交联的蛋白质易被胰蛋白酶水解。 (3) 0 .1～ 1.0mmol L的Hg2 及 1.0mmol L的Cd2 还能使水稻、小麦叶片内DNA链间发生交联     

重金属Cr6+胁迫下小麦幼苗DNA 5-MeC含量的改变

运用高效液相色谱法(HPLC)研究了3d龄和10 d龄小麦幼苗在5～100mg/L Cr6+胁迫下根系和地上部分DNA 5-甲基胞嘧啶(5-MeC)含量的变化.方法:色谱柱为Hypersil BDS-C18键合柱(5μm,150×4.6 mm I.D.);流动相由5％甲醇,4.75 mmol/L己烷磺酸钠,0.2％三乙醇胺组成,三蒸水配制,pH值为5.5;流速为0.7 mL/min;检测波长为273 nm.结果发现:除100 mg/L Cr6+降低了3d龄小麦幼苗根系DNA 5-MeC的百分含量外,所试不同浓度Cr6+均引起两苗龄幼苗叶片和根系DNA甲基化水平的上升;3d龄幼苗对Cr6+胁迫比10 d龄幼苗敏感,根系比地上部分敏感.结论:Cr6+胁迫引起的DNA甲基化水平改变可能影响到小麦幼苗的正常生长发育.     

不同营养环境条件下铜、锌、锰等二价金属营养元素对水稻吸收运转镉的调控

利用水培试验研究了在不同营养环境条件下几种二价金属营养元素与镉的互作关系及其水稻吸收运转镉的影响。研究结果表明,培养液中全部营养元素供应水平变化,二价金属元素浓度变化均对水稻吸收镉产生显著影响。Cd浓度保持为2μmol/L不变,随着全部必须元素浓度系数从0. 25提高到2. 0,水稻根系和茎叶Cd含量分别降低42. 5%和64. 5%。在没有其它二价阳离子干扰的情况下,Mg^(2+)、Fe^(2+)、Zn^(2+)、Mn^(2+)、Cu^(2+)均强烈抑制水稻对镉的吸收,水稻根系镉含量降低至对照的15. 4%～61. 6%,茎叶镉含量降低至对照的20. 2%～87. 5%。在木村B培养液中增量供应Zn^(2+)或Mn^(2+)均大幅度促进镉在根系、茎叶和稻谷积累,其中增量供应Zn^(2+)处理的水稻根、茎叶和稻谷镉含量分别比对照增加45. 5%、177. 4%、250. 8%,而增量供应Mn^(2+)处理的水稻根系、茎叶、稻谷镉含量分别比对照增加20. 2%、117. 4%、227. 1%。在所有二价金属元素中,Cu^(2+)对水稻吸收Cd^(2+)的拮抗作用最强,而且铜-镉拮抗关系受营养环境的影响较小。培养液中增量供应Cu^(2+)导致水稻吸收镉大幅减少,根系、茎叶、稻谷镉含量分别比对照降低51. 4%、45. 2%、52. 2%;培养液缺Cu^(2+)则导致根系和茎叶镉含量分别比对照增加177%和114%。研究结果表明,在镉污染稻田适度施用铜肥、控制锌锰的输入、在水稻生长发育期保持较高土壤营养水平可能是控制水稻积累镉的营养调控方法。     

重金属诱导拟南芥原生质体DNA损伤的单细胞凝胶电泳检测

以拟南芥原生质体为实验体系,研究不同浓度的3种重金属离子对拟南芥原生质体的毒性和DNA损伤的差异。结果表明,用1-5mmol·L^-1的Zn^2＋、Cd^2＋和Cu^2＋分别处理的拟南芥原生质体,2小时内活力逐渐下降,并表现出明显的浓度依赖性：与相同浓度的Cd^2＋和Cu^2＋相比,Zn^2＋对拟南芥原生质体活力的影响程度较小,表现出较低的毒性。单细胞凝胶电泳检测发现,用0．1-0．8mmol·L^-1的Zn^2＋、Cd^2＋和Cu^2＋分别处理拟南芥原生质体30分钟,以OTM值表示的原生质体DNA损伤量随重金属离子浓度的增加而递增：相同浓度（0．5mmol·L^-1）的3种重金属离子相比,Zn^2＋对原生质体的遗传毒性明显低于Cu^2＋和Cd^2＋。综合原生质体活力和DNA损伤的单细胞凝胶电泳检测结果,发现ZnO^2＋对拟南芥原生质体的遗传毒性较低,而CdO^2＋和Cu^2＋的遗传毒性较高。本研究建立的拟南芥原生质体实验体系,结合运用单细胞凝胶电泳技术,能够快速、灵敏地检测重金属对植物细胞的遗传毒性。

采用饲料含毒法,测定了棕尾别麻蝇Boettcherisca peregrine 1日龄幼虫连续取食含不同浓度Cd^2＋或Cu^2＋的人工饲料,体内丙二醛含量的变化过程。实验结果表明：二种重金属离子能诱导昆虫的脂质过氧化反应,并且存在浓度依赖效应和时间依赖效应。在0—1600μg/g饲料浓度范围内,丙二醛（malondialdehyde,MDA）含量与幼虫取食Cd^2＋和Cu^2＋的浓度呈线性关系,所求回归方程分别为y=0．2789＋0．0002x和y=0．3141＋0．0002x。当处理浓度为800μg/g时,在0-120h时间内,MDA含量与幼虫取食Cd^2＋和Cu^2＋的时间呈线性关系,回归方程分别为y=0．3041＋0．0042x和y=0．3251＋0．0029x。

钙和聚乙二醇浸种对小麦幼苗水分胁迫的缓和效应

小麦（Triticumaestivum）品种PH82－2－2种子,用0．25％CaCl2和20％聚乙二醇（PEG6000）溶液（对照用无离子水）分别浸种18h后盆栽。盆栽上为研镶上,pH6.6,有机质含量1．1％,速效氮0.47mmol／L,速效磷0．18mmol／L,速效钾0.23mmol／L。施肥量为1kg拌入0．15g脲素、0．15     

胁迫时间与非毒性离子对重金属抑制拟南芥种子发芽及幼苗生长的影响

测定了Hg²⁺、Cd²⁺、Cu²⁺、Pb²⁺单一重金属胁迫对拟南芥种子发芽和幼苗生长的影响.结果表明,重金属对幼苗生长的毒性大于对种子发芽的毒性,以抑制种子发芽的IC₅₀为指标,4种重金属的毒性顺序为Hg²⁺＞Cd²⁺＞Pb²⁺/Cu²⁺,以幼苗生长为指标,则毒性顺序为:Cu²⁺＞Hg²⁺＞Cd²⁺/Pb²⁺,并随着胁迫时间延长,种子萌发率下降.此外,不同重金属在不同发芽时段对种子的毒性也不尽相同,Cd²⁺的毒性在种子吸水后的0～12 h大于12～24 h,而Hg²⁺毒性在12～24 h大于0～12 h,其中,种皮对减轻重金属毒性起着十分重要的作用.通过非毒性离子(Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺、K⁺、Na⁺)与重金属离子(Hg²⁺、Cd²⁺、Cu²⁺、Pb²⁺)交互作用对拟南芥种子发芽及幼苗生长效应的研究发现, mmol·L^-1的Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺、K⁺、Na⁺可以增强Hg²⁺对种子发芽的毒性,但对Cd²⁺的毒性却没有影响.对于幼苗来说,Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺、K⁺、Na⁺可以显著增强Hg²⁺的毒性,Ca²⁺可以缓解Cd²⁺的毒性,但却增加Cu²⁺的毒性,K⁺可以缓解Pb²⁺对幼苗的毒害作用.最后,本文对重金属的毒害机理进行了探讨.

Impact of long-term application of industrial wastewater on the emergence of resistance traits in Azotobacter chroococcum isolated from rhizospheric soil

A total of 57 (36 and 21) Azotobacter chroococcum were isolated from wheat (Triticum aestivum) rhizospheric soil irrigated with industrial wastewater (about a decade) and ground water (uncontaminated) and characterized on the basis of morphological, cultural and biochemical characteristics. Rhizospheric soils were analyzed for metal concentrations by atomic absorption spectrophotometery and the test soil samples were contaminated with Fe, Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni and Pb. All the isolates of A. chroococcum were tested for their resistance against Hg2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, Cr3+, Cr6+, Zn2+, Ni2+ and Pb2+. Among 36 isolates of Azotobacter from soil irrigated with industrial wastewater, 94.4% were resistant to Pb2+ and Hg2+ and 86.1%, 77.5% and 63.8% were resistant to Zn2+, Cr6+ and Cr3+ respectively. The highest minimum inhibitory concentration of 200 microg/ml for Hg2+ and 1600 microg/ml for other metals were observed against these bacteria from soil. The incidences of metal resistance and MICs of metals for A. chroococcum from wastewater irrigated soil were significantly different to those of uncontaminated soil. All A. chroococcum isolates were tested for their resistance against 11 commonly used antibiotics/drugs. 91.6% were found to be resistant against nitrofurantoin while 86.4% and 80.5% were found to be resistant against polymyxin-B and co-trimoxazole respectively. Agarose gel electrophoresis using the miniprep method for plasmid isolation revealed that these isolates harboured plasmids of molecular weights 58.8 and 64.5 kb using EcoRI and HindIII digests of X DNA and undigested X DNA as standard markers.

一氧化氮对盐胁迫下小麦幼苗根生长和氧化损伤的影响

0.05和0.10 mmol/L一氧化氮(NO)供体硝普钠(sodium mtropmsside,SNP)处理明显减轻NaCl浓度为150 mmo1/L左右的盐胁迫对小麦幼苗根生长的抑制效应,其中0.05mmol/L的SNP效果最明显;0.30mmol/L以上的SNP处理对根抑制无明显缓解作用;当NaCl浓度大于300 mmol/L时,各种浓度的SNP均不能减轻盐胁迫对根生长的抑制.以N O清除剂血红蛋白(hemoglobin,Hb)以及NOx-,K3Fe(CN)6等为对照,观察到0.05 mmol/L的SNP能不同程度地提高150mmo/L盐胁迫下小麦幼苗根尖细胞中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(ascorbateperoxidase,APX)活性,明显降低MDA、H2O2和O2-.的积累,阻断盐胁迫诱导的根尖细胞DNA片段化,表明NO能有效缓解盐胁迫引起的小麦幼苗根尖细胞的氧化损伤.     

Purification and properties of urease from bovine rumen.

Urease (urea amidohydrolase, EC 3.5.1.5) was extracted from the mixed rumen bacterial fraction of bovine rumen contents and purified 60-fold by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, calcium phosphate-gel adsorption and chromatography on hydroxyapatite. The purified enzyme had maximum activity at pH 8.0. The molecular weight was estimated to be 120000-130000. The Km for urea was 8.3 X 10(-4) M+/-1.7 X 10(-4) M. The maximum velocity was 3.2+/-0.25 mmol of urea hydrolysed/h per mg of protein. The enzyme was stabilized by 50 mM-dithiothreitol. The enzyme was not inhibited by high concentrations of EDTA or phosphate but was inhibited by Mn2+, Mg2+, Ba2+, Hg2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Ni2+ and Co2+. p-Chloromercuribenzenesulfphonate and N-ethylmaleimide inhibited the enzyme almost completely at 0.1 mM. Hydroxyurea and acetohydroxamate reversibly inhibited the enzyme. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis showed that the mixed rumen bacteria produce ureases which have identical molecular weights and electrophoretic mobility. No multiple forms of urease were detected.     

Influence of cadmium and nickel on growth,net photosynthesis and carbohydrate distribution in rice plants

Six day old rice seedlings (Oryza sativa L. cv. Bahía) were grown for 5 or 10 days in a nutrient solution with either Cd (0.01, 0.1 mmol/l) or Ni (0.1, 0.5 mmol/l). Both Cd and Ni reduced the length of shoots and roots depending on the concentration and type of ion tested. On the other hand, the dry weight to fresh weight ratio was increased by heavy metal treatments, especially in the aerial part of 0.5 mmol/l Ni treated plants. The application of 0.1 mmol/l Cd and 0.5 mmol/l Ni to the seedlings produced an inhibition of the transport of carbohydrate reserves from the seeds from which plants were developing, to the rest of the plant. Net photosynthesis was also inhibited in treated plants. However, the total carbohydrate content in the shoots of these plants was higher than in controls. Thus, the starch, soluble sugars and sucrose content in the shoots of 0.5 mmol/l Ni treated plants was respectively up to 2.6, 2.8 and 4 times greater compared to controls. The distribution of assimilates between organs was also affected by the treatment: the carbohydrate content increased in the stem and second leaf but it was not affected or decreased in the root and third leaf. Although less evident, the effect of Cd on carbohydrate distribution and content was similar to that of Ni. The possible mechanisms involved in the abnormal carbohydrate accumulation and distribution are discussed.Abbreviations 0 DT plants at day zero of treatment - 5 DT five days treated plants - 10 DT ten days treated plants - DW dry weight - FW fresh weight
