摘要
The well-known detrimental effects of cadmium （Cd） on plants are chloroplast destruction, photosynthetic pigment inhibition, imbalance of essential plant nutrients, and membrane damage. Jasmonic acid （JA） is an alleviator against different stresses such as salinity and drought. However, the functional attributes of JA in plants such as the interactive effects of JA application and Cd on rapeseed in response to heavy metal stress remain unclear. JA at 50 pmol/L was observed in literature to have senescence effects in plants. In the present study, 25 pmol/L JA is ob- served to be a ＂stress ameliorating molecule＂ by improving the tolerance of rapeseed plants to Cd toxicity. JA reduces the Cd uptake in the leaves, thereby reducing membrane damage and malondialdehyde content and increasing the essential nutrient uptake. Furthermore, JA shields the chloroplast against the damaging effects of Cd, thereby in- creasing gas exchange and photosynthetic pigments. Moreover, JA modulates the antioxidant enzyme activity to strengthen the internal defense system. Our results demonstrate the function of JA in alleviating Cd toxicity and its underlying mechanism. Moreover, JA attenuates the damage of Cd to plants. This study enriches our knowledge regarding the use of and protection provided by JA in Cd stress.
目的:本研究目的在于了解:(1)喷施外源茉莉酸对受到镉胁迫油菜的作用;(2)是否茉莉酸能够通过增强气体交换,从而保护受到氧化胁迫的地上部分组织的叶绿体,进而通过减少镉的吸收来维持离子平衡;(3)是否通过喷施茉莉酸来对具有减缓镉毒害效应的抗氧化酶的活性进行调节。创新点:茉莉酸能够调节响应胁迫的抗氧化酶的活性,从而通过保护叶绿体免受活性氧(ROS)伤害而提高光合产物的能力,最大限度地缓解油菜植株受到的镉毒害。方法:(1)叶片气体交换;(2)叶片光合色素分析;(3)丙二醛与抗氧化酶活性分析;(4)营养成分分析;(5)透射电镜亚细胞水平观察。结论:茉莉酸对于植物受镉毒害的缓解作用的机理在于减少叶片中镉的积累,从而减轻氧化胁迫过程中产生的ROS对于膜系统的损害程度。
