植物抗盐机理的研究进展

盐胁迫是抑制植物生长 ,降低农作物产量的主要环境因素之一 .长期以来 ,关于如何提高植物的抗盐性 ,增加在盐胁迫下农作物的产量一直是人们关注的焦点 .植物对盐胁迫的反应机制和抗盐机理的探明 ,是指导通过生物工程方法或其它措施改造植物提高其抗盐能力的前提 .由于植物的抗盐性状涉及生理生化多方面的因素 ,是一个多基因控制的极为复杂的反应过程 ,而且不同植物甚至同一种类不同品种的植物 ,对盐胁迫的反应及其适应机制也不尽相同 .植物抗盐能力的强弱差异较大 ,有些植物在 2 0 0～ 50 0ｍｍｏｌ/ＬＮａＣｌ的条件下能继续生长 ,完成其生…     

Biotic and abiotic stress effects on nitrogen chemistry in the salt marsh cordgrassSpartina alterniflora (Poaceae)

Summary Planthopper (Insecta: Homoptera) feeding stress induces a senesence-like response in the leaves ofSpartina alterniflora characterized by decreased soluble protein, an increased total amino acid pool, and elevated levels of 10 individual amino acids. Increased proline and tryptophan in response to planthopper feeding could not be fully explained by protein degradation. Low degrees of soil salinity stress resulted in an increased total free amino acid pool and elevated levels of 7 amino acids. Anaerobic soil stress resulted in decreased glutamic acid and increased asparagine. Low salinity and anaerobic stress had no effect on soluble protein levels. Glycinebetaine was not affected by the stresses examined in this study.
