Interactions of zinc and cadmium toxicity in their effects on growth and in antioxidative systems in tomato plants （Solanum lycopersicum）

The interaction between zinc and cadmium was investigated in tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum). Ten-day-old seedlings were treated with 10 mol/L CdCl2 associated to di erent concentrations of ZnCl2 (10, 50, 100, and 150 mol/L). Zn supply clearly reduced Cd accumulation in leaves and simultaneously increased Zn concentration. Cd induced oxidative stress in leaves as indicated by an increase in thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) level and chlorophyll breakdown. Furthermore, compared with control, Cdtreated plants had significantly higher activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1), whereas, catalase (CAT, EC 1.111.1.6), ascorbate peroxidase (APX, EC 1.11.1.11), and glutathione reductase (GR, EC 1.6.4.2) activities were significantly suppressed by Cd addition. Zn supplementation, at low level, restored and enhanced the functional activity of these enzymes (SOD, CAT, APX and GR) as compared to Cd-alone-treated plants. The beneficial e ect of adequate Zn level on Cd toxicity was confirmed by a significant decrease in TBARS level and restoration of chlorophyll content. However, when Zn was added at high level in combination with Cd there was an accumulation of oxidative stress, which was higher than that for Cd or excess Zn alone treatments. These results suggested that higher Zn concentrations and Cd are synergistic in their e ect on plant growth parameters and oxidative stress.     

Phytotoxicity of cadmium on protein, proline and antioxidant enzyme activities in growing Arachis hypogaea L. seedlings

Phytotoxicity of cadmium on growing Arachis hypogaea L. seedlings was studied. Seeds were exposed to 25, 50, and 100 μmol/L CdCl2 concentrations, for a period of 10, 15, 20 and 25 d. The extent of damage to chlorophyll, protein, proline, nitrate and nitrite reductase, antioxidant enzyme activity in leaves and roots were evaluated after 10 d of cadmium stress. The higher concentration of cadmium （100 μmol/L） resulted （leaves and roots） total chlorophyll 91.01%, protein 79.51%, 83.61%, nitrate reductase 79.39%, 80.72% and nitrite reductase 77.07%, 75.88% activity decreased with increase in cadmium concentrations and exposure periods. Cadmium caused significant changes in the activity of antioxidative enzymes. Contrastingly Cd treated plant tissues showed an increase in proline 159.87%, 239.6%, gluthion reductase （GR） 337.72%, 306.14%, superoxide disumutase （SOD） 688.56%, 381.72%, ascorbate peroxidase （APX） 226.47%, 252.14%, peroxidase （POD） 72.19%, 60.29% and catalase （CAT） 228.96%, 214.74% as compared to control. Cadmium stress caused a significant increase in the rate of SOD activity in leaves and roots of plant species. Results show the crop A. hypogaea is highly sensitive even at very low cadmium concentrations.

通过室内盆栽实验研究了玉米幼苗在镉、菲污染胁迫14 d后的生理生化响应,并探讨了镉、菲单一与复合污染对玉米幼苗的毒性效应及其致毒机制.结果表明,单一镉(0～50 mg/kg)污染时,镉处理对玉米幼苗地上部分和根系生物量以及可溶性蛋白都无显著影响;随镉处理浓度的增加,玉米幼苗叶片SOD酶活性表现为先增加后降低的趋势,而P...     

The effects of exogenous salicylic acid on growth and H2O2-metabolizing enzymes in rice seedlings under lead stress

Salicylic acid （SA） was an essential component of the plant resistance to pathogens and also plays an important role in mediating plant response to some abiotic stress. The possible effects of SA on the growth and H2O2-metabolizing enzymes in rice seedlings under lead stress were studied. When rice seedlings grown in nutrient solution containing Pb^2＋ （0, 0.05, 0.15, 0.25 mmol/L） for 18 d, the plant biomass as well as the chlorophyll content of leaves decreased with increasing Pb concentration. The pre-treatment with SA （treated with 0.1 mmol/L SA for 48 h before Pb stress） partially protected seedlings from Pb toxicity. The chlorophyll contents were significant higher in leaves of Pb-exposed with SA pre-treatment seedlings than in Pb-exposed plants at the same Pb intensity. SA pre-treated alone could significantly increase the length of shoot and root of seedlings but the vigour difference was not marked under long-term exposure to Pb toxicity. SA pre-treated influence the H2O2 level in leaves of seedlings by up-regulating the activity of superoxide dismutase （SOD）, repressing the activity of catalase （CAT） and ascorbate peroxidase （APX） depending on the concentrations of Pb^2＋ in the growth medium. The results supported the conclusion that SA played a positive role in rice seedlings against Pb toxicity.

采用土培的方法研究了不同Cd2+添加量(0、10、20、40、80、160、240mg.kg-1)对多金属超富集植物圆锥南芥(Arabis paniculata Franch)抗氧化酶(超氧化物歧化酶SOD、过氧化氢酶POD、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶CAT、过氧化物酶APX)活性、非酶物质(巯基SH、谷胱甘肽GSH、植物络合素PCs)含量以及生物量、叶绿素、丙二醛(MDA)、半胱氨酸(Cysteine)、脯氨酸(Proline)含量的影响.结果表明,随着Cd添加量的增加,圆锥南芥的生物量、Cd含量、富集系数、转运系数呈增加趋势,SOD活性、叶绿素含量呈下降趋势.POD、CAT、APX活性以及MDA含量均呈先升高后降低的变化趋势.圆锥南芥叶片中SH、GSH、PCs含量随Cd添加量的增加而增加,当Cd添加量为240mg.kg-1时,SH、GSH、PCs含量分别比对照提高了92.7%、70.2%、143.4%,表明SH、GSH、PCs在解毒Cd毒害中起着重要作用.     

不同光强下镉胁迫对紫茉莉光合作用和抗氧化系统的影响

通过土培实验,比较分析了3种光强(全光照(HL)、50%全光照(ML)和10%全光照(LL))下镉胁迫(30 mg·kg-1)对紫茉莉植株生长、光合作用、光合色素、镉、镁、铁和钾含量、脂质过氧化、抗氧化酶活性、抗坏血酸和谷胱甘肽含量的影响.结果发现,镉胁迫显著降低紫茉莉叶片的净光合速率,对HL植株的抑制程度高于ML和LL植株;HL和LL植株最大光化学效率在镉胁迫下显著降低,而ML植株所受影响不明显;镉胁迫显著提高了紫茉莉叶片的暗呼吸速率,ML植株提高幅度最大.镉胁迫对紫茉莉植株生长的抑制作用显著,对HL植株的抑制最大.镉胁迫显著增加了紫茉莉叶片的镉含量,减小叶片叶绿素、类胡萝卜素、Mg、Fe和K的含量,对HL植株影响最大.镉胁迫下,HL植株超氧化物歧化酶和过氧化物酶活性增强,过氧化氢酶和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶活性降低,谷胱甘肽和抗坏血酸含量减小,过氧化氢和丙二醛含量、超氧阴离子产生速率增高,电解质渗漏加重.上述结果表明,镉加重了叶片氧化胁迫程度和强化了对紫茉莉生长的抑制,特别在高光强条件下.     

Ultraviolet irradiation induced oxidative stress and response of antioxidant system in an intertidal macroalgae Corallina officinalis L.

The response of the antioxidant defense system of an intertidal macroalgae Corallina officinalis L. to different dosages of UV-B irradiation was investigated. Results showed that superoxide dimutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POX) increased and then maintained at a relatively stable level when subjected to UV-B irradiation. Catalase (CAT) activity under medium dosage of UV-B irradiation (Muv) and high dosage of UV-B irradiation (Huv) treatments were significantly decreased. Ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity first remained unaltered and then increased in Huv treatment. In addition, the assay on isozymes was carried out using non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The activities of some SOD isoforms were altered by UV-B. Two new bands (POX V and POX Ⅶ) appeared upon exposure to all three UV-B dosages. CAT Ⅲ activity was increased by low dosage of UV-B irradiation (Luv),whereas CAT Ⅲ and CAT Ⅳ disappeared when the alga was exposed to Muv and Huv. Two bands of APX (APX Ⅵ and APX Ⅶ)were increased and a new band (APX X) was observed under Huv exposure. H2O2 and thiobarbituric acid reacting substance (TBARS)increased under Muv and Huv treatments. Overall, UV-B protection mechanisms are partly inducible and to a certain extent sufficient to prevent the accumulation of damage in C officinalis.     

Cd胁迫对大豆各发育阶段生长及生理指标的影响

采用土壤盆栽试验方法,研究了不同浓度Cd胁迫下,大豆幼苗期、花荚期和成熟期植株的生长及叶片叶绿素含量、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性、过氧化物酶(POD)活性和丙二醛(MDA)含量的变化.结果表明,大豆植株的生长在3个生长期均表现为低浓度Cd(￡0.50mg/kg)下的刺激效应和高浓度Cd(31.00mg/kg)下的抑制效应;随着Cd胁迫浓度的累积,大豆生长整体上受到抑制.在幼苗期,大豆植株的叶绿素含量下降、SOD活性受到抑制、POD活性迅速激活,共同缓解Cd毒性;在花荚期,大豆植株的防御系统得到有效激发,保护性酶POD、SOD的活性急剧升高,叶绿素含量呈上升趋势;在成熟期,因为长时间的Cd毒害,尤其是Cd浓度较高的情况下,大豆植株的SOD、POD活性和叶绿素含量急剧下降.在Cd胁迫下,大豆植株的生长发育以及生理生化指标在大豆的3个生长期的变化模式差异显著,且大豆植株的生物量和株高与SOD活性在整个生长期均表现出显著的相关性.

不同浓度锌处理下水稻幼苗对镉的累积效应

为探究锌（Zn）对水稻镉（Cd）累积的影响及其根表铁膜所发挥的作用,选取Cd高累积型水稻品种中9优547（简称"Z547"）和Cd低累积型水稻品种金优402（简称"J402"）,采用温室水培试验,研究0、2、5、10、15和20 μmol/L等6个Zn浓度下水稻幼苗对Cd的累积效应,以及不同浓度Zn处理对根表铁膜生成量的影响.结果表明:①随着c（Zn）的增加,Z547和J402水稻幼苗生物量均呈先增后减的趋势,分别在c（Zn）为2和10 μmol/L时达到最大值.②Z547和J402水稻幼苗中w（Cd）均呈先降后增的趋势,分别在c（Zn）为5和2 μmol/L时达到最小值;当水稻幼苗中w（Cd）达到最小值时,Z547根和地上部中w（Cd）分别为31.65和11.47 mg/kg,J402根和地上部中w（Cd）分别为22.58和14.36 mg/kg.③不同浓度Zn处理下水稻幼苗各部位中w（Cd）均与根表铁膜中w（Mn）、w（Fe）、w（Fe+Mn）呈显著正相关,高铁膜处理水稻幼苗中w（Cd）显著高于低铁膜处理,表明根表铁膜生成量的增加会促进Cd在水稻幼苗中的累积.研究显示,当c（Zn）较低时,c（Zn）的增加会抑制水稻幼苗对Cd的累积;当c（Zn）较高时,c（Zn）的增加会促进水稻幼苗对Cd的累积,而Zn可通过控制根表铁膜的生成来影响水稻幼苗对Cd的累积.      

菲-Cd单一与联合作用对毛蚶的氧化胁迫及损伤

采用静态染毒实验研究了菲和Cd2+单一作用与联合作用下胁迫9 d和清洁海水恢复过程中毛蚶体内超氧化歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活力和丙二醛(MDA)含量的变化。结果表明,在本实验的染毒条件下,毛蚶体内SOD和CAT活力呈现被诱导的趋势,MDA含量水平低于对照组。高浓度(菲50g/L,Cd 500g/L)比低浓度(菲10g/L,Cd 100g/L)的作用明显。菲对毛蚶的氧化胁迫作用大于Cd2+的作用,菲和Cd2+联合作用对毛蚶的氧化胁迫大于菲和Cd2+的单独作用。这两种污染物对毛蚶的氧化胁迫在消除污染后可以逐渐恢复,其中,Cd2+低浓度组(100g/L)在进行清水恢复后,SOD和CAT活力与对照组无显著性差异,说明毛蚶具有较好的抗氧化胁迫性和自我恢复能力。     

Cd、Cu单一污染对小麦体内活性氧消除系统影响

采用溶液培养法,研究不同浓度Cd、Cu单一污染对小麦SOD、POD、CAT活性及MDA含量的影响。结果表明:(1)SOD和CAT活性对Cd胁迫反应较敏感,而POD活性变化不大,叶片中有效的活性氧自由基清除系统的平衡被打破,MDA含量增加;(2)Cu胁迫下,小麦叶片中MDA含量的变化趋势与根部的相反,在Cu处理浓度为25、50mg/L时,叶片中有效的活性氧自由基清除系统的平衡未被打破,MDA含量保持在较低的水平;而根部恰好相反,该系统出现了失衡现象,MDA含量偏高。     

Oxidative stress and DNA damages induced by cadmium accumulation

Experimental evidence shows that cadmium （Cd） could induce oxidative stress and then causes DNA damage in animal cells, however, whether such effect exists in plants is still unclear. In the present study, Vicia faba plants was exposed to 5 and 10 mg/L Cd for 4 d to investigate the distribution of Cd in plant, the metal effects on the cell lipids, antioxidative enzymes and DNA damages in leaves. Cd induced an increase in Cd concentrations in plants. An enhanced level of lipid peroxidation in leaves and an enhanced concentration of H2O2 in root tissues suggested that Cd caused oxidative stress in Vicia faba. Compared with control, Cd-induced enhancement in superoxide dismutase activity was significant at 5 mg/L than at 10 mg/kg in leaves, by contrast, catalase and peroxidaseactivities were significantly suppressed by Cd addition. DNA damage was detected by neutral/neutral, alkaline/neutral and alkaline/alkaline Comet assay. Increased levels of DNA damages induced by Cd occurred with reference to oxidative stress in leaves, therefore, oxidative stress induced by Cd accumulation in plants contributed to DNA damages and was possibly an important mechanism of Cd-phytotoxicity in Vicia faba plants.     

叶面喷施2,3-二巯基丁二酸对水稻幼苗镉吸收转运及抗氧化系统的影响

稻米Cd超标问题已成为社会各界广泛关注的热点问题之一,探索降低Cd向地上部转运并缓解水稻Cd胁迫的新方法,对保障食品安全具有重要意义.本研究拟通过在水稻幼苗叶面喷施2,3-二巯基丁二酸(DMSA)评估利用该重金属螯合剂降低Cd向水稻地上部转运并缓解Cd胁迫的可行性.以我国南方水稻主栽品种之一中早35幼苗为研究材料,采用水培法研究了叶面喷施不同浓度DMSA对Cd在水稻幼苗体内吸收转运的影响,同时考察了对水稻幼苗丙二醛(MDA)、谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量以及对抗氧化酶过氧化氢酶(CAT)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性的影响.结果表明,叶面喷施DMSA 0.2、 0.4和1.0 mmol·L~(-1) 4次后,水稻幼苗地上部Cd含量随着DMSA喷施浓度增加呈显著降低趋势, 3种处理浓度与对照相比分别降低22.1%、 39.7%和43.5%,但是对水稻幼苗根部Cd含量无显著影响;对地上部及根中K、Ca、Mg、Fe、Zn和Mn这6种矿质元素含量无显著影响;喷施4次DMSA后显著降低了幼苗地上部MDA和GSH含量,同时使CAT和SOD活性显著增加,有效缓解了Cd对水稻幼苗造成的胁迫效应.DMSA能抑制Cd从水稻根部向地上部转运,同时不影响对人体必需矿质营养元素的吸收和转运,具备成为水稻降Cd叶面调理剂的潜力.

为研究城市污水处理厂(STPs)尾水是否会引起海洋生物的氧化逆境,将取自青岛市李村河污水处理厂的尾水用海水稀释到不同浓度(0%、1%、5%、10%、20% V/V), 对文蛤(Meretrix meretrix)暴露培养15d, 分析其内脏中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPx)、谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)的活性. 结果表明:SOD活性随尾水暴露时间延长基本表现为“抛物线型”的响应特征,体积比10%、20%的尾水暴露6~12d期间,文蛤体内SOD活性均受到诱导,最大增幅为15.88%;CAT和GPx对尾水的主要响应特征是抑制效应,分别在暴露9d、12d时最为明显,最大抑制率分别为64.38%和52.39%;较高浓度(20%)的尾水能够持续抑制GR活性,而其他处理组中,GR对尾水表现为“抛物线型”的响应特征,即:暴露3d或6d时活性增加,而后显著降低.GR活性的最大诱导出现在暴露3d和6d时,分别比对照组上升81.47%和80.91%.研究结果进一步表明STPs不能有效降解有害化学物质以消除尾水的毒性, 文蛤内脏SOD、CAT、GPx和GR活性能够敏感指示尾水诱导的氧化逆境.     

球果蔊菜脯氨酸的积累及与Cd耐性的关系

采用盆栽方法,以风花菜(Rorippa islandica)为对照植物,研究Cd超积累植物球果蔊菜[Rorippa globosa (Turcz.) Thell.]脯氨酸的积累、丙二醛含量、生物量及叶绿素含量的变化,及其与Cd生物积累的关系.结果显示,Cd处理能明显促进2种植物体内脯氨酸的积累,当土壤中Cd浓度≤25μg/g时,球果蔊菜叶片脯氨酸的积累效应尤为显著;此时叶片生物量、叶绿素及丙二醛含量与对照相比均无显著差异,表明其叶片脯氨酸的积累在一定程度上可缓解Cd胁迫造成的氧化损伤.相关分析表明,球果蔊菜根系脯氨酸可指示球果蔊菜根系中Cd的积累.     

商陆对镉锌铜胁迫的生理响应与金属积累特性

丁草胺对镉胁迫条件下水稻生长、镉积累及活性氧代谢的影响

以2个水稻品种(秀水110和秀水11)为材料,通过水培试验和土培试验研究了除草剂丁草胺对Cd2 胁迫条件下水稻植株生长、Cd2 积累和活性氧代谢的影响.研究结果表明.水培条件下,丁草胺浓度的增加显著地加剧了Cd2 胁迫条件下水稻生长抑制程度,进一步导致叶绿素含量显著下降,促进了2个品种水稻植株对Cd2 的吸收,引起水稻叶片的O-2产生速率、H202和MDA含量增加.且显著改变了SOD、CAT和G-POD活性;同条件下丁草胺浓度的增加使水稻叶片SOD/O-2、SOD/G-POD、SOD/CAT、CAT/H2O2和G-POD/H2O2的比值均发生了偏离;推测丁草胺加剧了水稻Cd2 胁迫时植株活性氧代谢不平衡过程.土培条件下,丁草胺对水稻糙米中Cd2 积累量也具有显著促进作用.     

钝顶螺旋藻对Cd胁迫的生理反应

研究了钝顶螺旋藻在Cd胁迫下的生理指标的变化.结果表明,在CdCl2浓度为0～24 mg/L范围的Cd胁迫下,随着CdCl2浓度的增加,可溶性蛋白的含量明显低于对照组,抗氧化系统也受到了不同程度的影响.SOD(超氧化物歧化酶)和POD(过氧化物酶)活力呈先增后降趋势,其中POD活力增加的程度较大,最高可达对照的360%,最低也为对照组的262%.在0～24 mg/L浓度范围内,APX(抗坏血酸氧化酶)活力均低于对照组,但随CdCl2浓度的增加呈递增状态.CAT(过氧化氢酶)均高于对照组,整体呈增加的趋势.GSH-PX(谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶)活力均低于对照,最低降至对照组的25%.MDA(丙二醛)作为膜脂质过氧化的产物,其累积是Cd胁迫的突出的生理变化之一,MDA的含量与CdCl2的浓度呈正相关.     

细胞分裂素类物质对镉胁迫下玉米幼苗生长和抗氧化酶活性及脯氨酸含量的影响

采用水培试验,研究了镉胁迫下喷施细胞分裂素类物质6-苄氨基嘌呤(6-BA)和激动素(KT)对玉米幼苗生长、叶片叶绿素含量、脯氨酸含量、植株镉含量和活性氧清除酶活性的影响.结果表明,与单纯镉胁迫相比,喷施6-BA和KT提高了玉米幼苗的生物量、根和地上部镉含量、叶绿素和脯氨酸含量,降低了叶片丙二醛(MDA)含量,促进了叶片过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性的升高,但对超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性的影响不明显.说明细胞分裂素类物质6-BA和KT可缓解镉胁迫对玉米幼苗的伤害,其机制可能与细胞分裂素物质能维持叶绿素稳定、刺激细胞内H2O2清除酶类活性及促进脯氨酸积累有关.当6-BA浓度在0～20mg·L-1之间时,其对玉米幼苗镉胁迫的缓解效应随喷施浓度的提高而增强,而KT的最适喷施浓度为70mg·L-1.
