A theoretical model about the size-dependent interface energy between two thin films with different materials is developed by considering the chemical bonding contribution based on the thermodynamic expressions and the structure strain contribution based on the mechanical characteristics. The interface energy decreases with reducing thickness of thin films, and is determined by such available thermodynamic and mechanical parameters as the melting entropy, the melting enthalpy, the shear modulus of two materials, etc. The predicted interface energies of some metal/MgO and metal/Al2O3 interfaces based on the model are consistent with the results based on the molecular mechanics calculation. Furthermore, the interface fracture properties of Ag/MgO and Ni/Al2O3 based on the atomistic simulation are further compared with each other. The fracture strength and the toughness of the interface with the smaller structure interface energy are both found to be lower. The intrinsic relations among the interface energy, the interface strength, and the fracture toughness are discussed by introducing the related interface potential and the interface stress. The microscopic interface fracture toughness is found to equal the structure interface energy in nanoscale, and the microscopic fracture strength is proportional to the fracture toughness.

A critical Biot number, which determines both the sensitivity of spherical ceramics to quenching and the durations of the temperature-wave propagation and the thermal stresses in the ceramics subjected to thermal shock, is theoretically obtained. The results prove that once the Biot number of a ceramic sphere is greater than the critical number, its thermal shock failure will be such a rapid process that the failure only occurs in the initial regime of heat conduction, whereas the thermal shock failure of the ceramic sphere is uncertain in the course of heat conduction. The presented results provide a guide to the selection of the ceramics applied in the thermostructural engineering with thermal shock.

The deformation of [0001]-oriented ZnO nanorods with hexagonal cross sections under uniaxial tensile loading is analyzed through molecular statistical thermodynamics (MST) simulations. The focus is on the size dependence of mechanical behavior in ZnO nanorods with diameters ranging from 1.95 to 17.5 nm. An irreversible phase transformation from the wurtzite (P6(3)mc space group) structure to a tetragonal structure (P4(2)/mnm space group) occurs during the tensile loading process. Young's modulus before the transformation demonstrates a size dependence consistent with what is observed in experiments. A stronger size dependence of response is seen after the transformation and is attributed to the polycrystalline nature of the transformed structure. A comparison of the MST and molecular dynamics (MD) methods shows that MST is 60 times faster than MD and yields results consistent with the results of MD.

人类向大气中排放的大量氮氧化合物和氟氯烃类化合物(CFC’s)引起臭氧分子的分解,导致到达地球表面的紫外辐射增加,特别是UV-B辐射增强。本项目以青杨组杨树为模式植物,从形态和生理方面研究了来自不同UV-B背景下的康定杨与青杨在增强UV-B下的反应及其反应差异,并探讨了干旱、施肥对它们抗UV-B能力的影响。杨树具有分布广、适应性强、在生态环境治理和解决木材短缺方面均占有重要位置,研究成果可为生态系统的恢复与重建提供理论依据和科学指导。主要研究结果有以下: 1. 在温室中经过增强UV-B处理,杨树的外部形态及生理活动受到了一定程度的影响。增强UV-B导致康定杨、青杨的生物量、叶面积及节间长度降低,叶片增厚,SOD活性升高,膜伤害增加,而对叶片数目、R/S、叶绿素A、叶绿素B及整个叶绿素含量没有影响。两种杨树对UV-B胁迫的响应存在差异:在增强UV-B条件下,青杨的植株高度、生物量、叶面积、脯氨酸含量、长期用水效率受到的影响大于康定杨,相比而言,康定杨在比叶面积、叶片厚度、可溶性糖含量、UV-B吸收物质的含量及SOD和GPX活性方面增加的程度大于青杨。这些区别说明,来自于高海拔的康定杨比来自于低海拔的青杨对增强UV-B 具有更强的耐性。我们认为二者在叶片厚度、比叶面积、UV-B吸收物质含量及SOD、GPX活性差异是导致对增强UV-B耐性不同的原因。 2. 干旱与增强UV-B对杨树的生长和生理特性均产生了影响,而且两种胁迫共同作用时干旱表现减弱或加剧了UV-B对杨树某些形态和生理特性的影响。 据试验结果,干旱显著地降低了杨树的株高、叶片数目、叶面积,增加了叶片厚度,促进ABA的积累,提高了CAT活性。对于干旱,两种杨树之间也表现出了一定的差异性。可溶性蛋白质和脯氨酸在青杨叶片中得到显著积累,而在康定杨中没有变化。此外,CAT、长期用水效率在康定杨中受到的影响更加明显。长期用水效率的不同变化趋势说明两种杨树对水分胁迫采用了不同的用水策略,康定杨采用的是节水用水策略,提高用水效率,而青杨采用的是耗水的用水策略。根据干旱对叶面积、脯氨酸、ABA含量、CAT活性及长期用水效率等方面的影响,我们认为来自高海拔地区的康定杨比来自低海拔的青杨有更大的耐旱性,这是对生长环境长期适应的结果。在高海拔地区,因霜冻常带来土壤水分不可利用,降低了根系对水分的吸收,树木容易受到的生理性干旱。另外,高海拔的地区低的气温使植株对严寒有较强的耐性,减少了水分的需要。 生长于增强UV-B下的康定杨和青杨植株表现为高度降低,叶面积缩小,比叶面积增加;叶片栅栏组织、海绵组织均受到增强UV-B的影响,其厚度的增加导致整个叶片变厚。增强UV-B还显著提高了杨树的APX活性、UV-B吸收物质含量,而对叶片数目、ABA、可溶性蛋白质含量及CAT活性没有产生影响。试验中也观察到了两种杨树对增强UV-B响应的差异:与康定杨相比,在增强UV-B下青杨株高、叶面积降低的程度更大一些,SOD活性显著提高。另外UV-B吸收物质受到的影响不同。根据这些差别,高海拔的康定杨(3500 m)比来自低海拔的青杨(1500 m)增强UV-B有较强的耐性。 与水分充足情况下UV-B对植株的影响相比,干旱对杨树抗增强UV-B产生了一定的影响,表现为加剧或减弱UV-B对植物的影响,但这种影响与形态、生理指标有关。当干旱与增强UV-B共同作用时,杨树植株的株高、叶面积进一步降低、叶片进一步增厚。就脯氨酸的积累的而言,在没有水分胁迫时,增强UV-B促使它显著增加,而在干旱处理下这种效果变得不明显。干旱对增强UV-B的影响还与杨树的种类有一定的关系。在康定杨中,干旱减弱了增强UV-B对栅栏组织与海绵组织的影响,且在植株高度、叶面积上表现出累加效应,而在CAT上交互作用显著;但在青杨中干旱则加剧增强UV-B对栅栏组织与海绵组织的影响,在植株高度、叶面积及比叶面积上表现出显著的交互作用。据碳同素分析,在水分充足的条件下,无论是康定杨,还是青杨,增强UV-B均导致其长期用水效率的提高,然而当两种胁迫共同作用时,长期用水效率则表现出差异,在青杨中,长期用水效率得到进一步增高,而康定杨中干旱的效应被增强UV-B所减轻。 3. 田间试验表明,杨树的生长、生理特征都受到养分和增强UV-B的影响。施肥对杨树的影响表现为:提高了叶面积、生物量及SOD的活性,降低了抗坏血酸含量。对于施肥作用,两种杨树的反应也有区别:在康定杨中施肥显著增加了的叶片长度、宽度及光合色素的含量,降低了净光合速率、气孔导度及胞间CO2浓度;在青杨中,则SOD、GPX、APX活性表现增加。从试验看出,施肥对来自于高海拔地区的康定杨(3500 m)的影响较大,对来自低海拔的青杨(1500 m)影响较小,这与它们对原产地的生境适应有一定关系。在康定杨生长的高海拔地区,低温度和湿度不能为地上凋落物或土壤中的根分解提供理想的条件,造成当地土壤的低养分状况,所以当肥料施用以后,效果显著。 经过增强UV-B处理,杨树叶片中UV-B吸收物质含量、GPX的活性得到提高,而脯氨酸、丙二醛、可溶性蛋白质、叶绿素及类胡萝卜素含量没有受到影响。对于增强UV-B两种杨树受到的影响也有所不同:在青杨中增强UV-B导致叶面积缩小,生物量、净光合速率降低,APX的活性及长期用水效率的提高,而对康定杨的这些指标没有产生显著影响,相反抗氧化酶的活性明显高于青杨。这些差异性是由于两种杨树对原产地不同UV-B背景的长期适应结果。康定杨长期生长在较高UV-B环境中,对UV-B有较强的耐性。而青杨适应于较低的UV-B环境,对增强UV-B较为敏感。 试验中施肥也影响了植株对增强UV-B的反应,不过这种影响与杨树的种类及测定指标有一定的相关性。例如,在缺肥的情况下,青杨的长期用水效率和康定杨的叶绿素含量都受到增强UV-B的显著影响,而施肥以后这种影响变得不显著。在缺肥的条件下,GPX、APX在青杨中的活性、GPX在康定杨中的活性对增加UV-B反应不敏感;而施肥以后则变化显著,同样胞间CO2浓度在康定杨也有类似的变化。 For past decades, Ultraviolet radiation, especially UV-B reaching the Earth’s surface increased because of depletion of ozone layer resulted from emission of NxO and CFC’s from human activities. In this experiment, different species of Populus section Tacamahaca Spach from different UV-B background were selected as a model plant to assess the effects of enhanced UV-B radiation. Morphological and physiological traits induced by enhanced UV-B were observed and the different responses between P. kangdingensis and P. cathayana were discussed, furthermore the influences of drought and fertilizer on responses induced by enhanced UV-B were studied. Since poplars play an important role in lumber supply, and are important component of ecosystems due to their fast growth and wide adaptation, the study could provide a strong theoretical evidence and scientific direction for the afforestation, and rehabilitation of ecosystem. The results are as follows: 1. The experiment conducted in a greenhouse indicated that morphological and physiological traits of two poplars were affected by enhanced UV-B radiation. Enhanced UV-B radiation not only reduced biomass, leave area and internode length, but also increased leaf thickness and SOD activity as well as MDA concentration and electrolyte rate. However, no significant changes in leaf numbers, root shoot ratio, and total chlorophyll and chlorophyll component were observed. There were different responses to enhanced UV-B radiation between two species. Compared with P. kangdingensis, cuttings of P. cathayana, exhibited lower height increment and smaller leaf area. In addition, there were significant differences in free proline, soluble protein, and UV-B absorbing compounds, and the activity of SOD and GPX, long-term WUE between them. Differences in plant height, biomass, leaf area, free proline concentration, and long-termed WUE showed that P. cathayana were more affected by enhanced UV-B radiation than P. kangdingensis. In contrast, more increase of specific leaf mass, leaf thickness, and soluble sugar, and UV-B absorbing compounds, and activity of SOD and GPX were observed in P. kangdingensis. According to these results, we suggested that P. kangdingensis from high elevation, which adapted to higher UV-B environments, had more tolerance to enhanced UV-B than P. cathayana from low elevation, which adapted to lower UV-B environment. We believe it was the difference of leaf thickness, specific leaf mass, and UV-B absorbing compounds as well as the activity of SOD and GPX resulted in lower adaptation of P. cathayana to enhanced UV-B radiation. 2. Growth and physiological traits of two poplars were affected by both drought and enhanced UV-B radiation. Moreover, it was observed that when two stresses applied together drought could exacerbate UV-B effects or decrease sensitivity to UV-B. In the experiment, drought significantly decreased plant height, leaf numbers, leaf area, and increased leaf thickness, and ABA, and CAT activity of two poplars. There were significant interspecific differences to drought stress. Exposed to drought, soluble protein and proline concentration were increased in P. cathayana but not in P. kangdingensis. However, more changes in CAT and long-term WUE were observed in kangdingensis. Different change in long-term WUE suggests that two poplars adapted different water-use strategies. P. kangdingensis employ a conservative water-use strategy, whereas P. cathayana employ a prodigal water-use strategy. Based on the differences in leaf area, accumulation of free proline and ABA, CAT activity as well as long-term WUE, we believed that P. kangdingensis from high elevation had a greater tolerance to drought than P. cathayana from low elevation,which is the result of adaptation to local environment. In high elevation area, trees are prone to suffer from physiological drought because of un-movable water caused by frost. Besides lower temperature enable the plants had greater adaptability to frost as a results the requirement of water is reduced Enhanced UV-B radiation decreased shoots height, leaf area, and increased specific leaf mass and thickness of palisade and sponge layer as well as APX activity and UV-B absorbing compounds in both species. Whereas, leaf numbers, ABA content, soluble protein and CAT activity showed no differences to enhanced UV-B radiation. Interspecific differences were also observed. Compared with P. kangdingensis, P. cathayana showed lower shoot height and smaller leaf area, higher SOD activity. Besides, variation in UV-B absorbing compounds was found. These differences suggested that P. kangdingensis from high elevation (3500 m) was more tolerant to enhanced UV-B radiation than P. cathayana from low elevation (1500 m). Compared with morphological and physiological changes induced by enhanced UV-B radiation under well-watered conditions, drought exacerbated or decreased these changes. However, these effects vary with parameters measured. When two stresses applied together, shoot height and leaf area further decreased while leaf thickness further increased. Under well-watered conditions, enhanced UV-B radiation significantly increased proline content, but such effect was not observed under drought conditions. The effect of drought on enhanced UV-B radiation was related to species. For example, drought reduced the effects of enhanced UV-B radiation on palisade parenchyma and sponge mesophyll in P. kangdingensis, and additive effects in shoot height and leaf area and interactive effect CAT activity were observed. In contrast, for P. cathayana drought significantly exacerbated the effects of enhanced UV-B radiation on palisade parenchyma and sponge mesophyll; there were noticeable interaction in shoot height, leaf area and specific leaf mass. As far as long-term WUE is concerned, it was increased by enhanced UV-B radiation under well-watered conditions in both species. While different effect was observed between two species in combination of two stresses. Long-term water use efficiency was further increased in P. cathayana whereas the effect was less significant in P. kangdingensis. 3. The field experiment showed that growth and physiological traits of poplars were affected by nutrition and enhanced UV-B radiation. Fertilization significantly increased leaf area, biomass and SOD activity, reduced Ascorbic acid concentration. There was interspecific difference in response to fertilization. For P. kangdingensis, fertilization significantly increased leaf width, leaf length and photosynthetic pigments content while net photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance, intercellular CO2 concentration were significantly decreased. However, for P. cathayana, these parameters were unaffected except the increase of SOD, GPX and APX activity. From above, it could concluded that P. kangdingensis from high elevation was more affected by fertilization than P. cathayana, This difference was due to adaptation to local environment., The low temperature and moisture where P. kangdingensis was collected can not provided optimum to decompose roots and litter fall as a result the nutrition in soil was poor. Exposed to enhanced UV-B radiation, for both species UV-B absorbing compounds and GPX activity were significantly increased while proline, MDA, soluble protein, chlorophyll, carotenoids were not affected. Different responses were also observed between the two species. Enhanced UV-B radiation caused significant decreases in leaf area, biomass, net photosynthetic rate and increase in APX activity and long-term WUE in P. cathayana but not in P. kangdingensis. In addition, activity in antioxidant enzymes was much higher in P. kangdingensis than in P. cathayana. In the experiment fertilization affected responses of cuttings to enhanced UV-B radiation, but it concern species and parameters measured. Long-term WUE in P. cathayana and chlorophyll in P. kangdingensis were significantly increased by enhanced UV-B radiation under non-fertilization treatments while the increase was not found under fertilization treatment. In contrast, under no fertilization treatment enhanced UV-B radiation did not affected GPX and APX activity in P. cathayana and GPX in P. kangdingensis while significant increase appeared after application of fertilization. Similar effect of enhanced UV-B radiation on intercellular CO2 concentration in P. kangdingensis was observed.

本研究通过粗枝云杉不同种群进行的温室半控制试验,采用植物生态学、生理学和生物化学的研究方法,系统地研究了粗枝云杉不同种群抗旱性的生长、形态、生理和生化机理,并结合有关研究进行综合分析,得出主要研究结论如下: 1.粗枝云杉对干旱胁迫的综合反应 粗枝云杉在干旱胁迫下的适应机制为:(1)相对生长速率及植株结构的调整:干旱胁迫下虽然植株相对生长速率显著降低,且有相对较多的生物量向根部分配,但并未发现细根/总根比增加。(2)粗枝云杉对干旱胁迫的光合作用表现为:干旱胁迫显著地降低了控制的理想条件下的气体交换,但干旱胁迫对PSII最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)没有影响,表明干旱并未影响到光合机构。(3)干旱还影响了很多生理生化过程,包括渗透调解物质(游离脯氨酸)、膜脂过氧化产物、脱落酸(ABA)含量的增加,以及保护酶活性的升高。这些结果证明植物遭受干旱胁迫后发生了一系列的形态、生理和生化响应,这些变化能提高干旱时期植物的存活和生长能力。 2.粗枝云杉不同种群对干旱胁迫反应的种群差异 粗枝云杉三个种群-干旱种群(四川丹巴和甘肃迭部)和湿润种群(四川黑水)对干旱适应不同,这种不同应归因于它们采用的用水策略不同:在水分良好和干旱胁迫条件下,受试种群在相对生长速率和水分利用效率(WUE)方面都表现出显著的种群间差异。与湿润种群相比,干旱种群在两种水分条件下有更高的WUE。粗枝云杉不同种群的碳同位素组分(δ13C)只在干旱胁迫下有显著差异,并且这种差异在水分良好时比干旱胁迫条件下小,说明生理响应和干旱适应性之间的关系受植物内部抗旱机制和外部环境条件(如水分可利用性)或两者互作效应的影响。这些结果说明干旱种群和湿润种群所采用的用水策略不同。干旱种群有更强的抗旱能力,采用的是节水型的用水策略,而湿润种群抗旱能力较弱,采用的是耗水型的用水策略。 3. 遮荫对粗枝云杉不同种群抗旱性影响 干旱胁迫显著降低了全光条件下叶相对含水量(RWC)、相对生长速率、气体交换参数、PSII的有效量子产量(Y),提高了非光化学猝灭效率(qN)、水分利用效率、脯氨酸(PRO)积累、脱落酸(ABA)含量及保护酶活性。然而这种变化在遮荫条件下不明显。我们得出结论适度遮荫降低了干旱对植物的胁迫作用。另一方面,在干旱条件下,与湿润种群相比,干旱种群抗旱性更强,表现在干旱种群净光合速率与单位重量上叶氮含量(Nmass)降低较少。另外,干旱种群表现出更为敏感的气孔导度,更高的热耗散能力(qN)能力、用水效率、ABA积累、保护酶活性,以及更低的总用水量、相对生长速率。这一结果表明这两种群采用不同的生理策略对干旱和遮荫做出反应。许多生长和生理反应差异与这两个种群原产地气候条件相适应。 4. 外源脱落酸(ABA)喷施对粗枝云杉不同种群抗旱性影响 外源ABA喷施在干旱和水分良好条件下均不同程度地提高了根/茎比,表明根和茎对ABA敏感程度不同。实验结果还表明,外源ABA喷施对这两个种群在干旱胁迫期间影响不同。干旱胁迫期间,伴随着ABA喷施,湿润种群净光合速率(A)显著降低,而干旱种群净光合速率变化不明显。另一方面,外源ABA喷施显著提高了干旱条件下干旱种群的单位叶面积重(LMA)、根/茎比、细根/总根(Ft)比、水分利用效率(WUE)、ABA含量, 以及保护酶活性。然而,外源ABA喷施对湿润种群的上述测定指标没有显著影响。这一结果表明干旱种群对外源ABA喷施更为敏感, 反应在更大的气孔导度降低,更高的生物量可塑性,及更高的水分利用效率、ABA含量和保护酶活性。综上所述,我们得出结论,粗枝云杉对外源ABA敏感性因种群的不同而不同。该研究结果可为两个明显不同种群在适应分化方面提供强有力的证据。 Arid or semi-arid land covers more than half of China's land territory. In arid systems, severe shortages of soil water often coincide with periods of high temperatures and high solar radiation, producing multiple stresses on plant performance. Protection from high radiation loads in shaded microenvironments during drought may compensate for a loss of productivity due to reduced irradiance when water is available. Additionally, ABA, a well-known stress-inducible plant hormone, has long been studied as a potential mediator for induction of drought tolerance in plants. Picea asperata Mast., which is one of the most important tree species used for the production of pulp wood and timber, is a prime reforestation species in western China. In this experiment, different population of P. asperata were used as experiment material to study the adaptability to drought stress and population differences in adaptabiliy, and the effects of shade and exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) application on the drought tolerance. Our results cold provide a strong theoretical evidence and scientific direction for the afforestation, and rehabilitation of ecosystem in the arid and semi-arid area, and provide a strong evidence for adaptive differentiation of different populations, and so may be used as criteria for species selection and tree improvement. The results are as follows: 1. A large set of parallel response to drought stress Drought stress caused pronounced inhibition of the growth and increased relatively dry matter allocation into the root; drought stress also caused pronounced inhibition of photosynthesis, while drought showed no effects on the maximal quantum yield of PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm) in dark-adapted leaves, indicating that drought had no effects on the primary photochemistry of PSII. However, in light-adapted leaves, drought reduced the quantum yield of PSII electron transport (Y) and increased the non-photochemical quenching (qN). Drought also affected many physiological and biochemical processes, including increases in superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activities, malondialdehyde and ABA content. These results demonstrate that there are a large set of parallel changes in the morphological, physiological and biochemical responses when plants are exposed to drought stress; these changes may enhance the capability of plants to survive and grow during drought periods. 2. Difference in adaptation to drought stress between contrasting populations of Picea asperata There were significant population differences in growth, dry matter allocation and water use efficiency. Compared with the wet climate population (Heishui), the dry climate population (Dan ba and Jiebu) showed higher LMA, fine root/total root ratio and water use efficiency under drought-stressed treatments. The results suggested that there were different water-use strategies between the dry population and the wet population. The dry climate population with higher drought tolerance may employ a conservative water-use strategy, whereas the wet climate population with lower drought tolerance may employ a prodigal water-use strategy. These variations in drought responses may be used as criteria for species selection and tree improvement. 3. The effects of shade on the drought tolerance For both populations tested, drought resulted in lower needle relative water content (RWC), relative growth rate (RGR), gas exchange parameters and effective PSII quantum yield (Y), and higher non-photochemical quenching (qN), water use efficiency (WUE), proline (PRO) and abscisic acid (ABA) accumulation, superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activities as well as malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and electrolyte leakage in sun plants, whereas these changes were not significant in shade plants. Our study results implied that shade, applied together with drought, ameliorated the detrimental effects of drought. On the other hand, compared with the wet climate population, the dry climate population was more tolerant to drought in the sun treatment, as indicated by less decreases in A and mass-based leaf nitrogen content (Nmass), more responsive stomata, greater capacity for non-radiative dissipation of excitation energy as heat (analysed by qN), and higher WUE,higher level of antioxidant enzyme activities,higher ABA accumulation as well as lower MDA content and electrolyte leakage. Many of the differences in growth and physiological responses reported here are consistent with the climatic differences between the locations of the populations of P. asperata. 4. The effects of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) application on the drought tolerance For both populations tested, exogenous ABA application increased root/shoot ratio (Rs) under well-watered and drought-stressed conditions, indicating that there was differential sensitivity to ABA in the roots and shoots. However, it appeared that ABA application affected the two P. asperata populations very differently during drought. CO2 assimilation rate (A) was significantly decreased in the wet climate population, but only to a minor extent in the dry climate population following ABA application during soil drying. On the other hand, ABA application significantly decreased stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration rate (E) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and significantly increased leaf mass per area (LMA), Rs, fine root/total root ratio (Ft), water use efficiency (WUE), ABA contents, superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and catalase (CAT) activities under drought condition in the dry climate population, whereas ABA application did not significantly affect these parameters in the wet population plants. The results clearly demonstrated that the dry climate population was more responsive to ABA application than the wet climate population, as indicated by the strong stomata closure and by greater plasticity of LMA and biomass allocation, as well as by higher WUE, ABA content and anti-oxidative capacity to defense against oxidative stress, possibly predominantly by APX. We concluded that sensitivity to exogenous ABA application is population dependent in P. asperata. Our results provide strong evidence for adaptive differentiation between populations of P. asperata.

沙棘广泛分布于亚欧大陆的温带地区和亚洲亚热带的高海拔地区。沙棘能适应多种生态环境,能耐受多种逆境(如干旱、低温、高温和盐害等)。在中国,沙棘常常被用作植被恢复中的先锋树种而大量栽培。本文以中国沙棘为试验材料,探索沙棘适应干旱机制,以及沙棘对干旱胁迫的适应机制是否存在种群间的差异,同时试图通过分析干旱胁迫下沙棘叶片蛋白质表达变化探索沙棘适应干旱胁迫的分子机理。 对三个分别来自低海拔湿润地区、低海拔干旱地区和高海拔湿润地区的中国沙棘种群进行干旱胁迫处理。干旱胁迫能提高根冠比,比叶面积,降低平均叶面积和总生物量,提高沙棘的抗氧化性酶活性、脯氨酸含量、脱落酸(ABA)含量、降低光合作用,提高长期用水效率。实验中的这两个低海拔种群比高海拔种群抵抗干旱的能力更强,不同的种群采用了不同的策略来耐受干旱胁迫和过氧化胁迫。 在2004 年度的实验中,干旱胁迫处理下,高海拔湿润种群(道孚种群)严重失水,生长也受到更大的抑制,非气孔因素在抑制光合作用方面占支配地位,抗坏血酸含量下降,ABA和脯氨酸含量增加幅度比九寨沟种群的要高,这可能是因为道孚种群严重失水而引起的;而低海拔湿润种群(九寨沟种群)的体内水分状况几乎不受干旱的影响,生长情况也较道孚种群要好。 在2005 年度的试验中,和高海拔湿润地区种群(道孚)相比较,低海拔干旱地区种群(定西)在叶片相对水含量、根冠比、抗氧化酶活性(过氧化氢酶、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶)、保护性物质(脯氨酸,脱落酸)含量等方面都要高,光能热耗散能力也更强,而且气体交换参数(气孔扩散阻力和胞间CO2浓度等)对干旱也更不敏感。 分析了干旱胁迫下沙棘叶片蛋白质表达的变化。共发现319 个蛋白质,有4 个蛋白在干旱胁迫下消失(Putative ABCtransporter ATP-binding protein 、Hypothetical proteinXP-515578,热激蛋白Hslu219 和一个没得到鉴定的蛋白),4 个只在干旱胁迫下出现(没命名的蛋白质产物,对甲基苯-丙酮酸双加氧酶,NTrX 和一个没得到鉴定的蛋白),46 个蛋白质的表达丰度变化显著,包括32 个干旱负调蛋白,14 个干旱正调蛋白(3 个Rubisco 的大亚基、J-type–co-chaperone Hsc20、putative protein DSM3645-2335、putative acyl-COA 脱氢酶、nesprin-2 和两个没有得到鉴定的蛋白质)。这些蛋白质参与了氮代谢调控、抗氧化行物质的合成、脂肪酸β-氧化、核骨架构造、[Fe-S]基团组装、物质跨膜运输、细胞分裂或作为分子伴侣和蛋白质酶起作用。putative ABC transporter ATP-binging protein、NtrX、nesprin-2 和Hslu 是本试验新发现的高等植物蛋白,我们主要从它们的保守结构域或在其他生物中的同源物来猜测它们的功能。实验结果为我们研究植物抗干旱机制提供了新线索和新视野。 Seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) is widly distributed throughtout the temperatureresiogn of Europe and Asia and sub-tropical plateau zone of Asia. H. rhamnoides can adapatseveral different environments, and can tolerant several envioronmental stresses (e.g, lowtemperature, high temperature, drought and salty). It has been widely used in forest restoration asthe pioneer species in China. In present study, we applied H.rhamnoides subsp. Sinensis asexperimental materials to study its drought-tolerant mechanism, and expected to findpopulational difference in drought-tolerant mechanism that may exist among populations, and tryto get some insight in drought-tolerant mechanism of it at morecular level through analyzing thechange of leaf protein expression. Three populations from high altitude wet zone, low altitude wet zone and low altitude arid znoe,respectively, were applied in our experiment, and were subjected to drought. Drought increasedthe root/shoot ratio(RS), special leaf area, long-term water use efficinency, activity of antioxidantenzymes, proline content and abscisic acid (ABA) content, declined the net photosynthesis rate(A), average leaf area (ALA), total biomass (TB). Both two low altitude populations were moredrought-tolerant than the high altitude population, and different population applied differentstratedgies to tolerant oxidant stress and drought stress. The results of the exprement in 2004 showed that Daofu population was more drought-sensitivethan Jiuzhai population. Under drought conditions, leaf relative water content (RWC) greatlydecreased in Daofu population, but not in Jiuzhai population. The large loss of water in Daofupopulation resulted in a limitation on A mainly caused by non-stomatal factors, severer suppression in growth rate and a significant reduction in ascorbic acid (AsA) content, comparedwith Jiuzhai population. The greater increase in content of ABA and proline in Daofu populationmay be also induced by large loss in water, so that enable plants to cope with sever drought. In the exprement of 2005, drought significantly increased RS, activities of catalase (CAT),peroxidase (POD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and alsosignificantly increased ABA and proline contents. On the other hand, compared with Daofupopulation, drought induced larger RS and activities of CAT, GPX and APX, and higher ABAcontent in Dingxi population, whereas gas exchange traits, e.g., stomatal limitation value (LS) andintercellular CO2 concentration (Ci), were less responsive to drought in Dingxi population thanthose in Daofu population. All these factors enable Dingxi population to tolerant drought betterthan Daofu population. The leaf protein profile of seabuchthorn subjected to drought was analyzed. Altogether 319proteins were detected in well-watered sample, four proteins disappeard by drought (putativeABCtransporter ATP-binding protein, hypothetical protein XP-515578, Hslu219and aunidentified protein), four only appeared under drought (a probable nitrogen regulation protein(NtrX), a 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase , an unnamed protein product and an identified protein), 32 drought down-regulated proteins, and 14 drought up-regulated proteins (nine wereidentified: three large subunits of Rubisco, a hypothetical protein DSM3645-23351, a putativeacyl-COA dehydrogenase, a nesprin-2, a J-type-co-chaperone HSC20 and two unmatchedproteins). These proteins may involve in β-oxidation, cross-membrane transport, cell division,cytoskeleton stabilization, iron-sulfur cluster assembly, nitrogen metabolism regulation andantioxidant substance biosynthesis or function as molecular chaperone or protease. Four proteins(a putative ABC transporter ATP-binging protein, NtrX, nesprin-2, Hslu) were new found in highplants, and their functions were estimated from their conserved domain or their homologues inother organism. Our results provided new clue and new insight for us to study thedrought-tolerant mechanism in plants.

作物的抗旱性是一个多基因控制的、极为复杂的数量性状,植物对干旱在分子水平上的差异反应通过植物组织生理和细胞生物学水平,最终表现为植物抗旱性的不同。在我国,旱地农业超过耕地面积的50%,但水资源短缺,因此培育和选育抗旱高产作物是发展节水型农业最有效的途径。 青藏高原气候恶劣、年均降雨量少,也是世界大麦初生起源中心,因而蕴藏了十分丰富的与抗逆相关的种质资源材料,从这些特殊的资源材料克隆抗旱基因,不仅对培育抗旱、优质、高产大麦新品种具有重要理论意义和经济价值,而且对整个作物抗旱基础和育种应用研究都具重大促进作用。 为了筛选青稞(裸大麦,Hordeum vulgare ssp. vulgare)抗旱性材料,本研究选用来自青藏高原不同地区的84份青稞为材料,在叶片失水率(water loss rate, WLR)检测分析的基础上,选择失水率值差异显著的12个品种,通过相对含水量(relative water content, RWC)和反复干旱法评价其抗旱性,并通过植株对干旱胁迫下的丙二醛(MDA)含量和游离脯氨酸(free-proline)含量变化,了解不同抗旱性材料的生理反应特性。选择抗旱性强弱不同的品种各两份进行LEA2蛋白基因(Dhn6基因)、LEA3蛋白基因(HVA1基因)的克隆,比较LEA蛋白结构差异与作物抗旱性之间的关系。同时,对抗旱性不同的青稞品种受到干旱时间不同的失水变化率(dynamics water loss rate, DWLR)进行了检测;对抗旱性不同的青稞对照材料进行2 h、4 h、8 h和12 h的快速干旱处理,通过SYBR Green实时荧光定量RT-PCR技术对Dhn6基因、Dhn11基因、Dhn13基因和HVA1基因在不同抗旱性材料受到不同干旱时间处理后的相对表达水平进行了检测。本研究对LEA蛋白基因在抗旱性不同的青稞材料中的干旱胁迫分子水平上的差异反应进行了研究,也对植物的抗旱机理进行了初步探讨。主要研究结果如下: 1. 青稞苗期进行离体叶片失水率测定结果表明,来自青藏高原的84份青稞材料的WLR在0.086~0.205gh-1g-1DW之间。选择WLR低于0.1gh-1g-1DW和WLR高于0.18gh-1g-1DW的品种各6份,并对苗期分别进行未干旱及干旱12小时的处理。相对含水量检测结果表明,低失水率青稞材料干旱后的具有更高的相对含水量,盆栽缺水试验也显示叶片失水率低的材料耐旱能力强于失水率高的材料。通过水合茚三酮法测定离体叶片游离脯氨酸的含量,结果表明,所有品种未干旱处理时,游离脯氨酸含量差异不大(17.10~25.74 µgg-1FW);干旱12小时后,低失水率的品种游离脯氨酸含量明显增高(32.99~53.45µgg-1FW),高失水率品种的游离脯氨酸含量与干旱前变化不明显(P<0.05)。硫代巴比妥酸法测定离体叶片丙二醛(MDA)含量,结果显示,12份所选对照品种中,丙二醛的含量在0.97~2.74nmolg-1FW,干旱12小时后丙二醛的含量显著上升(1.46~4.74nmolg-1FW),高失水率的6个品种的丙二醛含量在未干旱和干旱处理时都明显高于低WLR品种。本研究结果表明青稞的低失水率、低丙二醛含量、高相对含水量和高脯氨酸含量具相关性(P<0.05)。综上研究,我们认为作物失水率的测定可以作为快速检测作物抗旱性的指标之一,因此,强抗旱品种喜玛拉10号(TR1)、品比14号(TR2)和弱抗旱品种冬青8号(TS1)、QB24 (TS2)被选作抗旱基因克隆和表达分析的研究材料。 2. 高等植物胚胎发育晚期丰富蛋白(late embryogenesis abundant proteins, LEA proteins)与植物耐脱水性密切相关,为了探讨青稞LEA蛋白结构差异性与植物抗旱性的关系,本研究以强抗旱品种(喜玛拉10号、品比14号)和弱抗旱品种(冬青8号、QB24)为材料,利用同源克隆法,通过RT-PCR,分别克隆了与抗旱性密切相关的Dhn6基因和HVA1基因。Dhn6基因序列分析结果表明,强抗旱品种品比14号和弱抗旱品种冬青8号Dhn6基因所克隆到的序列为1026bp,它们之间只有5个碱基的差异;喜玛拉10号和QB24克隆到的序列长963bp。在强弱不同的抗旱品种中有22个核苷酸易突变位点,相应的脱水素氨基酸序列推导结果表明,22个核苷酸突变位点中,仅有8个位点导致相应的氨基酸残基的改变,其余的位点系同义突变,另外,21个富含甘氨酸序列的缺失并没有联系作物抗旱性特征。推测这些同义突变位点的氨基酸残基对维持青稞DHN6蛋白的正常结构和功能起着非常重要的作用,也可能DHN6蛋白对青稞长期适应逆境胁迫和遗传进化的结果。对HVA1基因的序列分析结果表明,冬青8号、QB24、品比14号和喜玛拉10号的目的基因核苷酸序列全长分别为661bp、697bp、694bp和691bp,它们都包含1个完整的开放阅读框。相应的LEA3蛋白氨基酸序列结果表明,11个高度保守的氨基酸残基组成基元重复序列的拷贝数与青稞抗旱性之间没有必然关系,在强抗旱品种(喜玛拉10号、品比14号)中三个共同的氨基酸突变位点Gln32、Arg33和Ala195可能对抗旱蛋白的结构和功能有影响;另外,强抗旱青稞品种LEA3蛋白质中11-氨基酸保守基元序列拷贝数和极性氨基酸占蛋白的比例更高,推测LEA3蛋白中基元序列拷贝数和极性氨基酸占蛋白的比例对该蛋白的结构和功能影响更大。 3. LEA蛋白基因的表达水平的上调与植物的耐脱水性密切相关,我们对强抗旱性材料(喜玛拉10号、品比14号)和弱抗旱材料(冬青8号、QB24)进行干旱处理2 h、4 h、6 h、8 h和10 h的失水变化率进行测定,结果表明弱抗旱品种在2~4小时之间失水率变化最明显,而四个对照品种的失水率在8小时后和24小时的失水率值变化不大。进一步提取青稞苗期进行2 h、4 h、8 h和12 h的干旱处理后的总RNA,通过SYBR Green实时荧光定量RT-PCR技术对青稞脱水素基因(Dhn6、Dhn11和Dhn13)和LEA3蛋白基因(HVA1)的相对表达水平受干旱时间和作物抗旱性的影响进行了检测。研究发现,抗旱性不同的青稞品种随干旱处理的时间延长,Dhn6、Dhn11、Dhn13和HVA1基因的相对表达水平不同。 Dhn6基因的相对表达水平在强抗旱青稞品种干旱8小时后快速上升,但在弱抗旱青稞品种干旱处理12小时后检测到更高表达量;Dhn11基因在对照青稞抗旱品种的表达累积水平随干旱时间的延长持续下降;整个干旱过程中,Dhn13基因的相对表达水平在弱抗旱品种持续上升,在强抗旱品种中干旱处理8小时快速上升并达到最高,干旱12小时后降低。与脱水素基因相比较,强抗旱青稞品种在干旱2小时后HVA1基因的相对表达水平显著升高,相对表达量随干旱处理的时间持续上升,在干旱12小时后达到最高;与之相比较,在整个干旱过程中,弱抗旱品种的相对表达水平显著低于强抗旱品种,在干旱8小时之前弱抗旱品种的相对表达水平变化不明显;在干旱8~12小时后却显著上升。上述结果表明,不同的LEA蛋白在植物耐脱水过程中的干旱表达累积水平不同;干旱不是诱导高等植物Dhn11基因表达的主要因素;植物的抗旱性不同,不同LEA蛋白基因对干旱的反应有差异。推测某些LEA蛋白基因的干旱胁迫早期表达累积程度与植物的抗旱性直接相关;其中,Dhn11基因和Dhn12基因不同的表达模式可能与干旱调控表达顺式作用成分(dehydration responsive element, DRE)的有无或结构上的差异有关。 本研究结果认为,(1)失水率和相对含水量可作为植物抗旱性检测的指标之一;(2) DHN6同义突变位点的氨基酸残基对维持该蛋白的正常结构和功能起着重要作用;(3) 11-氨基酸保守基元序列拷贝数和极性氨基酸的比例对LEA3蛋白结构和功能有重要影响;(4)LEA蛋白表达随着干旱胁迫程度而增加,但Dhn11基因并不受干旱诱导表达;(5)作物的抗旱性不同,LEA蛋白对干旱的累积反应并不相同,干旱早期LEA蛋白的累积程度可能会影响植物的抗旱性。 Drought resistance was a complex trait which involved multiple physiological and biochemical mechanisms and regulation of numerous genes. Because its complex traits, it is difficult to understand the mechanisms of drought resistance in plants. Plants respond to water stress through multiple physiological mechanisms at the cellular, tissue, and whole-plant levels. Tibetan hulless barley, a pure line, is a selfing annual plant that has predominantly penetrated into the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and remains stable populations there. The wide ecological range of Tibetan hulless barley differs in water availability, temperature, soil type and vegetation, which makes it possess a high potential of adaptive diversity to abiotic stresses. This adaptive genetic diversity indicates that the potential of Tibetan hulless barley serves as a good source for drought resistance alleles for breeding purposes. 12 contrasting drought-tolerant genotypes were selected to measure relative water content (RWC), maldondialdehyde (MDA) and proline content, based on values of water loss rate (WLR) and repeated drought methods from Tibetan populations of cultivated hulless barley. As a result of the screening, sensitive and tolerant genotypes were identified to clarify relationships between characteristics of LEA2/LEA3 genes sequences and expression and drought-tolerant genotypes, associated with resistance to water deficit. In addition, dynamics water loss rate (DWLR) was measured to observe the changes on diffrential drought-tolerant genotypes. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR was applied to detect relative expression levels of Dhn6, Dhn11, Dhn13 and HVA1 genes in sensitive and tolerant genotypes with 2 h, 4 h, 8h and 12 h of dehydration. In the present study, differential sequences and expression of LEA2/LEA3 genes were explored in Tibetan hulless barley, associated with phenotypically diverse drought-tolerant genotypes. 1. The assessments of WLR and RWC were considered as an alternative measure of plant water statues reflecting the metabolic activity in plants, and the parameters of MDA and proline contents were usually consistent with the resistance to water stress. The values of detached leaf WLR of the tested genotypes were highly variable among 84 genotypes, ranging from 0.086 to 0.205 g/h.g DW. The 12 most contrasting genotypes (6 genotypes with the lowest values of WLR and 6 genotypes with the highest values of WLR) were further validated by measuring RWC, MDA and free-proline contents, which were well watered and dehydrated for 12 h. Results of RWC indicated that the values of 12 contrasting genotypes RWC ranged from 89.94% to 93.38% under condition of well water, without significant differences, but 6 genotypes with lower WLR had higher RWC suffered from 12 h dehydration. The results indicated that lower MDA contents, lower scores of WLR and higher proline contents were associated with drought-tolerant genotypes in hulless barley. Remarkably, proline amounts were increased more notable in 6 tolerant genotypes than 6 sensitive genotypes after excised leaves were dehydrated for 12 h, with control to slight changes under condition of well water. Results of MDA contents showed that six 6 tolerant genotypes had lower MDA contents than the 6 sensitive genotypes under both stressed and non-stressed conditions. As a result of that screening, drought- resistant genotypes (Ximala 10 and Pinbi 14) and drought-sensitive genotypes (Dongqing 8 and QB 24) were chosen for comparing the differential characteristics of LEA2/LEA3 genes and their expression analysis. It was conclusion that measurements of WLR could be considered an alternative index as screening of drought-tolerant genotypes in crops. 2. Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins were thought to protect against water stress in plants. To explore the relationships between configuration of LEA proteins and phenotypically diverse drought-tolerant genotypes, sequences of LEA genes and their deduced proteins were compared in Tibetan hulless barley. Results of comparing Dhn6 gene in Ximala 10 and QB24 indicated that absence of 63bp was found, except that only 5 mutant nucleotides were found. While 22 mutant sites were taken place in Dhn6 gene between sensitive and tolerant lines, 14 synonymous mutation sites appeared in the contrasting genotypes. The additional/absent polypeptide of 21 polar amino acid residues was not consistent with phenotypically drought-tolerant genotypes in hulless barley. It was deduced that synonymous mutation sites would play important roles in holding out right configurations and functions on DHN6 protein. The sequencing analysis results indicated that each cloned HVA1 gene from four selected genotypes contained an entire open reading frame. The whole sequence of HVA1 gene from Dongqing 8, QB24, Pinbi 14 and Ximala 10 was respectively 661bp, 697bp, 694bp and 691bp. Results of DNA sequence analyses showed that the differences in nucleotides of HVA1 gene in sensitive genotypes were not consistent with that of tolerant genotypes, except for absence of 33 nucleotides from +154 to +186 (numbering from ATG) in QB24. Database searches using deduced amino acid sequences showed a high homology in LEA3 proteins in the selected genotypes. Multiple sequence alignments revealed that LEA3 protein from Dongqing 8 was composed of 8 repeats of an 11 amino acid motif, less the fourth motif than Pinbi 14, Ximala 10 and QB24. Consistent mutant amino acid residues appeared in contrasting genotypes by aligning and comparing the coding sequence region, including Gln32, Arg33 and Ala195 in tolerant genotypes as compared to Asp32, Glu33 and Thr195 (Thr184 in Dongqing 8) in sensitive lines. It was concluded that consistent appearance of Gln32, Arg33 and Ala195 would contributed to functions of LEA3 protein in crops, as well as higher proportion of 11-amino-repeating motifs and polar amino acid residues. 3. Most of the LEA genes are up-regulated by dehydration, salinity, or low temperature, are also induced by application of exogenous ABA, which increases in concentration in plants under various stress conditions and acts as a mobile stress signal. Higher levels of proteins of LEA group 3 accumulated was correlated well with high level of desiccation tolerance in severely dehydrated plant seedlings. Dehydrins (DHNs), members of LEA2 protein, are an immunologically distinct protein family, and Dhn genes expression is associated with plant response to dehydration. Dynamic water loss rate was measured between sensitive genotypes and tolerant genotypes after they were dehydrated for 2 h, 4 h, 6h and 8 h. Detailed measurements of WLR at the early stage of dehydration (2, 4, 6, and 8 h) showed that WLR was stabilizing after 8 h, and there were no significant changes between these values and WLR after 24 h. Drought stress was applied to 10-day-old seedlings by draining the solution from the container for defined dehydration periods. Leaf tissues of the selected genotypes were harvested from control plants (time 0); and after 2, 4, 8, and 12 h of dehydration. Differential expression trends of Dhn6, Dhn11, Dhn13 and HVA1 genes were detected in phenotypically diverse drought-tolerant hulless barleys, related to different time of dehydration. Results of quantitative real-time PCR indicated that relative level of HVA1 expression was always higher in tolerant genotypes, rapidly increasing at the earlier stages (after 2-4 h of dehydration). However, HVA1 expressions of sensitive genotypes had a fast increase from 8 h to 12 h of stress. Significant differences in expression trends of dehydrin genes between tolerant genotypes and sensitive lines were detected, mainly in Dhn6 and Dhn13 gene, depending on the duration of the dehydration stress. The relative expression levels of Dhn6 gene were significantly higher in tolerant genotypes after 8 h dehydration, by control with notable higher expression levels after 12 h water stress in sensitive ones. The relative expression levels of Dhn13 gene tended to ascend during exposure to dehydration in drought-sensitive genotypes. However, fluctuate trends of Dhn13 expression level were detected in drought-resistant lines, including in lower expression levels of 12 h dehydration as compared to 8 h water stress. It was conclusion that (1) diverse LEA proteins would play variable roles in resisting water stress in plants; (2) expression of Dhn11 gene was not induced by dehydrated signals because of the trends of expression descended in contrasting genotypes suffered from water deficit and (3) variable accumulations on LEA proteins would be appear in diverse drought-tolerant genotypes during dehydrations. It is deduced that higher accumulations of Dhn6 and Dhn13 expression in 8 h dehydration are related to diverse drought-tolerant lines in crops. The present results indicated that different dehydrin genes would play variable functional roles in resisting water stress when plants were suffered from water deficit. The authors suggest physiologically different reactions between resistant and sensitive genotypes may be the results of differential expression of drought-resistant genes and related signal genes in plants. In addition, contrarily induced expression of Dhn11 and Dhn12 was related to dehydration responsive element (DRE) in barleys. The present study indicated that (1) measurements of WLR and RWC could be considered as one index of drought-tolerant screenings; (2) synonymous mutation sites would play important roles in holding out right configurations and functions on DHN6 protein, (3) higher proportion of 11-amino-repeating motifs and polar amino acid residues would contribute to functions on LEA3 protein, (4) the longer drought, the more accumulation on LEA proteins, except for Dhn11 gene in crops and (5) differential responses on expression of LEA protein genes would result in physiological traits of drought tolerance in plants.
