脱落酸对UV-C胁迫下小麦幼苗光合特性及抗氧化酶活性的影响

研究了UV-C辐射下短期和长期脱落酸(ABA)处理对小麦幼苗CO2同化作用、羧化效率、光合CO2响应以及抗氧化酶活性等的影响.结果表明,在无UV-C辐射情况下,短期和长期ABA处理能提高光合速率,比对照增加14·69%和20·46%,降低气孔导度,比对照降低14·74%和17·31%,但对胞间CO2浓度和羧化效率影响不大.当受到UV-C辐射时,光合速率、羧化效率、气孔导度和胞间CO2浓度逐渐降低.长期ABA处理变化最小,其次为ABA短期处理,对照降低最大.ABA处理能够提高小麦光合对CO2的响应,UV-C辐射抑制光合对CO2的响应.ABA处理能够提高小麦抗氧化酶(CAT、SOD、POD)活性而降低MDA含量.在UV-C辐射下,CAT活性先升高随后降低,在辐射处理1h时活性达最大值,ABA处理的SOD和POD活性先升高后降低,且ABA长期处理比短期处理增加明显,对照则逐渐降低.ABA处理可能通过提高小麦CO2同化作用和抗氧化酶活性增强对UV-C胁迫的抗性,且ABA长期处理比短期处理效果更明显.

增强UV-C辐射作用下小麦和豌豆幼苗光合响应及其相对抗性

以小麦和豌豆为材料,研究了UV-C辐射(波长<280nm)对叶片光合特性及抗氧化酶活性的影响.结果表明:UV-C辐射增强,可使豌豆叶片光合速率减弱,气孔导度、胞间CO2浓度、蒸腾速率和羧化效率明显降低,而对小麦叶片上述各项指标的影响则是先增加、后降低;在UV-C辐射下,豌豆的CO2补偿点逐渐升高,而小麦的CO2补偿点先降低、后升高.UV-C辐射除了使豌豆的POD活性和小麦的SOD活性逐渐降低外,其他抗氧化酶活性则呈先升高、后降低的变化趋势.小麦对短时间UV-C辐射的抗性比豌豆强,但随着UV-C辐射时间的延长,小麦和豌豆的抗氧化酶活性均降低,光合作用减弱.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering from surfactant-free 3D gold nanowire networks substrates

A useful method for the fabrication of three-dimensional gold nanowire networks based on the chemical reduction of HAuCl4 with trisodium citrate was presented. The coverage of the 3D gold nanowire networks was tunable by altering precursor concentration. The as-prepared 3D gold nanowire networks could be used as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates and examined by 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) as a probe molecules.

Adsorption of 4,4 '-thiobisbenzenethiol on silver surfaces: surface-enhanced Raman scattering study

Adsorption of 4,4'-thiobisbenzenethiol (4,4'-TBBT) on a colloidal silver surface and a roughened silver electrode surface was investigated by means of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for the first time, which indicates that 4,4'-TBBT is chemisorbed on the colloidal silver surface as dithiolates by losing two H-atoms of the S-H bond, while as monothiolates on the roughened silver electrode. The different orientations of the molecules on both silver surfaces indicate the different adsorption behaviors of 4,4'-TBBT in the two systems.

Facile fabrication of gold nanoparticle arrays for efficient surface-enhanced Raman scattering

An effective and facile method for the fabrication of a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-active film with closely packed gold nanoparticle (AuNP) arrays is proposed by self-assembly of different sizes ( 16, 25, 40 and 70 nm) of AuNPs at a toluene/water interface with ethanol as the inducer. The as-prepared AuNP arrays exhibit efficient Raman scattering enhancement, and the enhancement factors estimated using p-aminothiophenol as a probe molecule range from 10(5) to 10(7).

Facile fabrication of large area of aggregated gold nanorods film for efficient surface-enhanced Raman scattering

An effective and facile method for fabrication of large area of aggregated gold nanorods (AuNRs) film was proposed by self-assembly of AuNRs at a toluene/water interface for the first time. It was found that large area of aggregated AuNRs film could be formed at the interface of toluene and water due to the interfacial tension between the two phases. The obtained large area of aggregated AuNRs film exhibits strong surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity with 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) and 2-aminothiophenol (2-ATP) as the probe molecules based on the strong electromagnetic coupling effect between the very adjacent AuNRs.

Large-area silver-coated silicon nanowire arrays for molecular sensing using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy

A new and facile method to prepare large-area silver-coated silicon nanowire arrays for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based sensing is introduced. High-quality silicon nanowire arrays are prepared by a chemical etching method and used as a template for the generation of SERS-active silver-coated silicon nanowire arrays. The morphologies of the silicon nanowire arrays and the type of silver-plating solution are two key factors determining the magnitude of SERS signal enhancement and the sensitivity of detection; they are investigated in detail for the purpose of optimization.

Microarray based Raman spectroscopic detection with gold nanoparticle probes

microarray approach based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic (SERS) was developed for detection of spotted peptide, peptide-protein or protein-antibody interaction. The procedure involves the attachment of peptide-capped gold nanoparticles followed by silver deposition for signal enhancement. The attachment of the gold nanoparticles is achieved by standard avidin-biotin chemistry. The well-known biomolecular recognition pairs, IgG/protein A and biotin/avidin, were used to demonstrate proof-of-concept of the SERS assay.

Gold nanoparticle-based surface enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopic assay for the detection of protein-protein interactions

In the present work, a sensitive spectroscopic assay based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) using gold nanoparticles as substrates was developed for the rapid detection protein-protein interactions. Detection is achieved by specific binding biotin-modification antibodies with protein-stabilized 30 nm gold nanoparticles, followed by the attachment of avidin-modification Raman-active dyes. As a proof-of-principle experiment, a well-known biomolecular recognition system, IgG with protein A, was chosen to establish this new spectroscopic assay. Highly selective recognition of IgG down to 1 ng/ml in solution has been demonstrated.
