紫外光对几种水生植物过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性的影响

通过测定被照射植物分解过氧化氢后放出氧气的体积,确定植物过氧化氢酶(CAT)的活性。结果表明,满江红,浮萍和水花生3种植物受过量紫外光不同时间照射,CAT活性都明显升高。但活性峰值因植物不同而异,即满江红的CAT峰值出现在被照射72h后;浮萍的CAT峰值出现在被照射24h后;水花生则出现在被照射8h后。撤除过量紫外光照射后,3种植物的CAT活性逐渐降低。说明过量紫外光对3种植物的CAT活性有刺激作用,同时又使植物体组织受到损害,最终导致植物的CAT活性降低,而且不同植物对过量紫外光的效应是不同的。     

满江红花青素在镉胁迫下的抗氧化作用

为了研究镉胁迫诱导满江红体内花青素合成的生理功能,采用镉诱导和体外实验的方法评价了满江红体内花青素的抗氧化作用.测试指标包括还原力、清除超氧阴离子(O-2)、过氧化氢(H2O2)、羟自由基(·OH)的能力.结果表明,花青素的还原力和对氧自由基的清除作用随花青素提取物浓度的增加而增加.因此,镉胁迫下合成的花青素是一种清除活性氧自由基的良好抗氧化剂.镉胁迫对满江红活性氧代谢影响的试验结果表明,在0.5mg·L-1Cd胁迫下,满江红体内O-2和H2O2大量积累,造成活性氧胁迫,说明花青素只能在一定程度上保护满江红免受过氧化伤害.本实验初步证实,花青素含量的增加是满江红抗性机理之一,可缓解镉的毒害.     

Global Analysis of Anthropogenic Debris Ingestion by Sea Turtles

Ingestion of marine debris can have lethal and sublethal effects on sea turtles and other wildlife. Although researchers have reported on ingestion of anthropogenic debris by marine turtles and implied incidences of debris ingestion have increased over time, there has not been a global synthesis of the phenomenon since 1985. Thus, we analyzed 37 studies published from 1985 to 2012 that report on data collected from before 1900 through 2011. Specifically, we investigated whether ingestion prevalence has changed over time, what types of debris are most commonly ingested, the geographic distribution of debris ingestion by marine turtles relative to global debris distribution, and which species and life‐history stages are most likely to ingest debris. The probability of green (Chelonia mydas) and leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) ingesting debris increased significantly over time, and plastic was the most commonly ingested debris. Turtles in nearly all regions studied ingest debris, but the probability of ingestion was not related to modeled debris densities. Furthermore, smaller, oceanic‐stage turtles were more likely to ingest debris than coastal foragers, whereas carnivorous species were less likely to ingest debris than herbivores or gelatinovores. Our results indicate oceanic leatherback turtles and green turtles are at the greatest risk of both lethal and sublethal effects from ingested marine debris. To reduce this risk, anthropogenic debris must be managed at a global level. Análisis Global de la Ingesta de Residuos Antropogénicos por Tortugas Marinas     

镉诱导满江红(Azolla imbricata)花色素苷的初步鉴定、抗氧化活性及其作用机理
