超高产杂交稻Oryza sativa L.光合作用和光抑制特性的研究

较系统地比较研究了超高产杂交稻两优培九培矮64S 93-11和华安3号X07S 紫恢100与多年来大规模推广种植的杂交稻品种汕优63珍汕97A 明恢63的光合生理特性结果表明 1 从苗期到抽穗期超高产杂交稻两优培九和华安3号的净光合速率Pn都比汕优63高而在苗期的午间强光条件下和分蘖期的早晨以及抽穗期的早晚相对弱光条件下其Pn的差别尤为显著说明超高产杂交稻两优培九和华安3号不仅有较高的Pn和较强的抗光抑制能力而且还能充分利用早晨和傍晚较弱的光照条件有效地进行光合作用 2 超高产杂交稻剑叶具有较高的光合色素含量和Chla/b比值同时也具有较高的水分利用效率WUE较高的Chla/b比值表明超高产杂交稻剑叶能够更有效地利用太阳能而较高的WUE则有利于后期节约稻田用水 3 两优培九和华安3号类囊体膜的77K荧光光谱在不同发育时期均高于对照汕优63对其进行Gaussan分析发现这两个超高产杂交稻的反应中心以及天线复合物的发射峰均优于汕优63表明超高产杂交稻具有更强光能吸收能力并且能够将所吸收的光能高效地应用于光合电子传递 4 超高产杂交稻在苗期和分蘖期的净光合速率Pn都明显高于对照可以为群体的扩大后期的生长发育和高产奠定坚实的物质基础 5 三个杂交稻品种抽穗期剑叶的净光合速率相差不大但两优培九和华安3号具有较汕优63高得多的表观量子效率和羧化效率即超高产杂交稻能够高效地利用光能和田间二氧化碳首次提出对光能和二氧化碳的高效利用是两优培九和华安3号高产地重要原因 在对杂交稻净光合速率日变化的研究中发现超高产杂交稻两优培九和华安3号在午间强光条件下具有较对照汕优63更高的净光合速率表明超高产杂交稻具有更强的抗光抑制能力为了研究其光保护机理进一步研究了杂交稻对光抑制的响应结果表明 1超高产杂交稻两优培九和华安3号较对照品种汕优63具有更强的抗光抑制及光保护能力同时在光抑制结束后又能够更迅速地恢复光合功能较强的抗光抑制能力和较高的恢复能力可能是其高产的重要生理原因之一 2光抑制过程中超高产杂交稻叶黄素循环玉米黄素积累速率和积累量都明显高于对照并且在其后的恢复过程中其恢复速率和恢复程度也明显高于汕优63发现叶黄素循环的脱环化作用在光抑制处理30min时即基本接近最大值并未随着光抑制的进一步加重而不断上升认为叶黄素循环在杂交稻光保护中的重要作用可能在于玉米黄素的快速积累对光保护作用的启动 3在对自然条件下光抑制的研究中发现汕优63比超高产杂交稻两优培九和华安3号更容易受到午间光抑制的伤害 4午间光抑制条件下叶黄素循环的玉米黄素Z和环氧玉米黄素A大量积累而叶黄素循环库则没有什么变化认为是叶黄素循环脱环化组分A和Z的积累而不是叶黄素循环库对水稻在中午强光条件下的光保护起重要作用 5在所研究水稻品种的午间光抑制实验中叶绿素荧光的非光化学猝灭系数和叶黄素循环的脱环化状态DES之间没有正比例关系进一步推论环式电子传递可能在杂交稻的光保护中起重要作用 6对用不同试剂处理的杂交稻叶片进行光抑制处理研究发现ASAVDE酶底物其含量可以有效地调节活性处理对杂交稻的抗光抑制能力并没有带来多大改善而DTTVDE酶的特异抑制剂处理也没有使其光抑制大大加重而用DBMIB环式电子传递抑制剂处理则使杂交稻受到比对照强得多的光抑制对qN解析的结果发现强光下qE并未上升反而下降而qT却在光抑制条件下表现出上升现象这些实验结果首次阐明叶黄素循环的热耗散在杂交稻的光保护中不起关键作用而环式电子传递则对于杂交稻的光保护起至关重要的作用其机理可能在于强光条件下环式磷酸化的加剧生成大量ATP用于光破坏的修复作用同时避免类囊体膜的过度酸化从而导致强光下qN的下降这也是光抑制条件下qE下降和qT上升的原因所在此外在研究中发现光抑制处理导致Chla/b比值的上升并且提出这种上升的原因可能在于强光条件下光合系统对LHCII需求减少从而导致对Chlb需求减少最终使得部分Chlb向Chla转化这种转化可能是杂交稻在光抑制条件下的一种保护性响应 7对超高产杂交稻华安3号冠层不同衰老程度叶片的光合功能比较研究的结果表明剑叶的光合功能最强第二叶次之第三叶具有一定的光合功能第四和第五叶则相当衰老基本上丧失光合能力而光合机构的衰老可能始于反应中心的衰老天线系统的衰老要迟于反应中心的衰老叶片衰老进程中Chla和Chlb同步降解但是Chlb先还原为Chla导致Chla/b比值的上升并且认为衰老过程中的这种Chlb的还原是Chlb降解的一个早期的和不可避免的步骤

The Genomes of Oryza sativa: A history of duplications

We report improved whole-genome shotgun sequences for the genomes of indica and japonica rice, both with multimegabase contiguity, or almost 1,000-fold improvement over the drafts of 2002. Tested against a nonredundant collection of 19,079 full-length cDNAs, 97.7% of the genes are aligned, without fragmentation, to the mapped superscaffolds of one or the other genome. We introduce a gene identification procedure for plants that does not rely on similarity to known genes to remove erroneous predictions resulting from transposable elements. Using the available EST data to adjust for residual errors in the predictions, the estimated gene count is at least 38,000 - 40,000. Only 2% - 3% of the genes are unique to any one subspecies, comparable to the amount of sequence that might still be missing. Despite this lack of variation in gene content, there is enormous variation in the intergenic regions. At least a quarter of the two sequences could not be aligned, and where they could be aligned, single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP) rates varied from as little as 3.0 SNP/kb in the coding regions to 27.6 SNP/kb in the transposable elements. A more inclusive new approach for analyzing duplication history is introduced here. It reveals an ancient whole-genome duplication, a recent segmental duplication on Chromosomes 11 and 12, and massive ongoing individual gene duplications. We find 18 distinct pairs of duplicated segments that cover 65.7% of the genome; 17 of these pairs date back to a common time before the divergence of the grasses. More important, ongoing individual gene duplications provide a never-ending source of raw material for gene genesis and are major contributors to the differences between members of the grass family.

Effects of microcystins on the growth and the activity of superoxide dismutase and peroxidase of rape (Brassica napus L.) and rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Microcystins are naturally occurring hepatotoxic cyclic heptapeptides produced by some toxic freshwater cyanobacterial species. In this study, crude extract of toxic cyanobacterial blooms from Dianchi Lake in southwestern China was used to determine the effects of microcystins on rape (Brassica napus L.) and rice (Oryza sativa L.). Experiments were carried out on a range of doses of the extract (equivalent to 0, 0.024, 0.12, 0.6 and 3 mug MC-LR/ml). Investigations showed that exposure to microcystins inhibited the growth and development of both rice and rape seedlings, however, microcystins had more powerful inhibition effect on rape than rice in germination percentage of seeds and seedling height. Microcystins significantly inhibited the elongation of primary roots of rape and rice seedlings. Determination of the activities of peroxidase and superoxide dismutase demonstrated that microcystin stress was manifested as an oxidative stress. Using ELISA, microcystins were examined from the extract of exposed rape and rice seedlings, indicating that consumption of edible plants exposed to microcystins via irrigation route may have health risks. Significantly different levels of recovered microcystins between exposed rice and rape seedlings Suggested that there might be different tolerant mechanisms toward microcystins.

Introdução e avaliação de cultivares de alface (Lactuca sativa L.), para o período seco no Acre.

Os trabalhos de pesquisa em melhoramento com alface no país, têm obtido grandes progressos, com desenvolvimento de cultivares de alface lisa e, mais recentemente, crespa, com maior resistência ao pendoamento precoce e às principais doenças. Tendo em vista a reduzida informação no Estado em relação às novas cultivares disponíveis no mercado, este trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar o comportamento de doze cultivares de alface, durante o período seco (julho a agosto) em Rio Branco, Acre.
