荔枝花芽分化过程中多胺、核酸和蛋白质的动态

荔枝茎尖由营养生长转变为生殖生长时,多胺含量达到高峰(115.79nmol g-1,FW),该过程先于核酸和蛋白质的大量合成,表明多胺影响了DNA的复制、转录和翻译.成熟秋梢叶片不含腐胺(Putrescine,Put),但含亚精胺(Spermind-ine,Spd)和精胺(Spermine,Spm),其F/L的比值维持在1~3;叶片中可溶性蛋白的含量随顶芽或花(序)芽中含量的增加而增加,其相关系数R=0.9294,表明叶片含氮化合物的代谢对荔枝茎尖由营养生长转变为生殖生长及其发育过程极为重要.图1表3参19     

Cd2+胁迫下中肋骨条藻细胞内多胺的生理响应

通过室内添加Cd2+培养中肋骨条藻(Skeletonema costatum),开展了Cd2+胁迫对中肋骨条藻生长的影响及藻细胞内超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、二胺氧化酶(DAO)、多胺氧化酶(PAO)的活性以及丙二醛(MDA)和各形态多胺含量变化的实验,以探究多胺对于海洋微藻在重金属胁迫下的响应及生理作用.结果显示,Cd2+对中肋骨条藻的生长产生胁迫作用,且Cd2+浓度越大对藻细胞生长的抑制作用越强.Cd2+胁迫下中肋骨条藻细胞内MDA含量略有升高,SOD活性显著降低,DAO和PAO活性分别增强.随着Cd2+胁迫作用的增强,藻细胞内游离态腐胺(Put)、亚精胺(Spd)、精胺(Spm)含量先降低后升高;结合态Put、Spd和Spm含量先升高后降低;束缚态Put、Spm和Spd含量及Put总量和Spm总量升高.表明Cd2+胁迫会导致中肋骨条藻细胞产生氧化损害,同时细胞内DAO和PAO活性的增强以及游离态Put、束缚态Spd和Spm、Put总量和Spm总量的升高可能会增强藻细胞抵抗Cd2+胁迫的能力.     

Relationship between AtPase activity and conjugated polyamines in mitochondrial membrane from wheat seedling roots under osmotic stress

The effects of osmotic stress on the ATPase activity, the contents of —SH group and conjugated polyamines in mitochondrial membrane from wheat seedling [ Triticum aestivum L. cv. Yumai No. 18 (drought-tolerant) and cv. Yumai No.9(drought-sensitive)] roots were investigated. The results showed that ATPase activity and --SH group content decreased with polyethylene glycol(PEG) 6000( - 0.55 MPa) treatment for 7 d, in concert with the decrease of the ratio of noncovalently conjugated spermidine (NCC-Spd)/noncovalently conjugated putrescine(NCC-Put) and increase of the covalently conjugated putrescine (CC-Put). Osmotic stress injury to Yangmai No.9 seedlings was alleviated greatly with 1 mmol/L exogenous spermidine(Spd), in concert with marked increases of the ratio of NCC-Spd/NCC-Put, --SH group contents and ATPase activity in mitochondrial membrane. Under osmotic stress, the concomitant treatment of Yumai No. 18 seedlings with methylglyoxyl bis(guanylhydrazone) (MGBG), an inhibitor of S-adenosyl methionine decarboxylase(SAMDC), and phenanthrolin ( o-Phen), an inhibitor of transglutaminase(TGase), caused a significant decrease of the ratio of NCC-Spd / NCC-Put, CC-Put contents, respectively, in concert with the marked decreases of ATPase activity, --SH group content and its tolerance to osmotic stress. All the results above suggested that osmotic stress tolerance of wheat seedlings was associated with the ATPase activity, the contents of --SH group, NCC-Spd and CC-Put in mitochondrial membrane.     

Epibrassinolide ameliorates Cr (VI) stress via influencing the levels of indole-3-acetic acid, abscisic acid, polyamines and antioxidant system of radish seedlings

The present investigation determined the effects of epibrassinolide (EBL) on the levels of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), abscisic acid (ABA), and polyamine (PA) and antioxidant potential of 7-d old Raphanus sativus L. cv. ‘Pusa chetki’ seedlings grown under Cr (VI) metal stress. Reduced titers of free (0.767 μg g⁻¹ FW) and bound (0.545 μg g⁻¹ FW) IAA in Cr (VI) stressed seedlings were observed over untreated control. Supplementations of EBL to Cr (VI) stressed seedlings were able to enhance both free (2.14-5.68 μg g⁻¹ FW) and bound IAA (2.45-7.78 μg g⁻¹ FW) concentrations in comparison to Cr (VI) metal treatment alone. Significant rise in free (13.49 μg g⁻¹ FW) and bound (12.17 μg g⁻¹ FW) ABA contents were noticed for Cr (VI) stressed seedlings when compared to untreated control. No significant increase in ABA contents were recorded for Cr (VI) stressed seedlings upon supplementation with EBL over Cr (VI) treatment alone. A significant increase in Put (18.40 μg g⁻¹ FW) and Cad (9.08 μg g⁻¹ FW) contents were found for 10⁻⁹ M EBL plus Cr (VI) metal treatments when compared to Cr (VI) treatment alone. Spermidine (Spd) contents were found to decline significantly for EBL treatment alone or when supplemented with Cr (VI) treatments over untreated controls and Cr (VI) treatment alone. Antioxidant levels were found to enhance, with glutathione (57.98 mg g⁻¹ FW), proline (4.97 mg g⁻¹ FW), glycinebetaine (39.01 μmol mL⁻¹), ascorbic acid (3.17 mg g⁻¹ FW) and phytochelatins (65.69 μmol g⁻¹ FW) contents noted for EBL supplemented to Cr (VI) metal solution over Cr (VI) treatment alone. Reduced activities of guaiacol peroxidase (0.391 U mg⁻¹ protein) and catalase (0.221 U mg⁻¹ protein) and enhanced activities of glutathione reductase (7.14 U mg⁻¹ protein), superoxide dismutase (15.20 U mg⁻¹ protein) and ascorbate peroxidase (4.31 U mg⁻¹ protein) were observed in seedlings treated with EBL plus Cr (VI) over Cr metal treatment alone. Reduced MDA (2.55 μmol g⁻¹ FW) and H₂O₂ (33.24 μmol g⁻¹ FW) contents were recorded for 10⁻⁹ M EBL supplemented to Cr (VI) stress over Cr (VI) treatment alone. Enhancement in free radical scavenging potential as indicated by higher values of 1,1-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl, deoxyribose and reducing power activity assays, and increased levels of phenols and soluble sugars also showed significant influence of EBL in alleviating Cr (VI) stress in radish seedlings.
