为了探讨外源硫化氢(H_2S)对黄瓜耐冷性的调控机理,以‘津优3号’黄瓜为试材,叶面喷施H_2S供体硫氢化钠(NaHS),以清水处理为对照,研究H_2S对温度变化的响应,以及对黄瓜叶片光合作用和抗氧化系统的影响。结果表明:随着日光温室内气温降低和低温持续时间的延长,黄瓜叶片的H_2S含量及D–/L–半胱氨酸脱巯基酶(CDes)活性先升高,后降低;光合速率(P_n)、气孔导度(G_s)、蒸腾速率(T_r)、核酮糖–1,5–二磷酸羧化酶(RuBPCase)活性,以及暗下光系统Ⅱ最大光化学效率(F_v/_F_m)、光下实际光化学效率(Φ_(PSⅡ))、电子传递效率(ETR)和光化学猝灭(q_P)逐渐降低,胞间CO_2浓度(Ci)、初始荧光(F_o)和非光化学猝灭(NPQ)趋于升高。低温胁迫可使MDA含量增加,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)和谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)活性先升高后降低。与对照相比,NaHS处理叶片的H_2S含量和CDes活性及P_n、G_s、T_r、RuBPCase活性、F_v/_Fm、Φ_(PSⅡ)、ETR和q_P明显升高,C_i、F_o和NPQ显著降低。低温下NaHS处理的MDA含量显著低于对照,而SOD、POD、CAT、APX和GR活性明显高于对照。NaHS处理的黄瓜产量比对照增加15.3%。可见CDes催化合成H_2S受低温胁迫诱导,外源H_2S可增强活性氧清除能力,减轻低温对黄瓜叶片光合机构的伤害。
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the regulation mechanism of exogenous hydrogen sulfide(H_2S)on chilling tolerance in cucumber(Cucumis sativa L.)plants.‘Jinyou 3'cucumber plants were used as materials. The respond of H_2S to temperature and the effect of sodium hydrosulfide(NaHS,the donor of H_2S)on photosynthesis and antioxidant system in cucumber were investigated, with distilled water as the control. The results showed that H_2S content and D-/L-cysteine desulfhydrase(CDes)activity increased at first and then decreased as the temperature decreased and lasted. Low temperature led to decrease in photosynthetic rate(P_n),stomatal conductance(G_s),transpiration rate(T_r),ribulose bisphosphate carboxylic enzyme(RuBPCase)activity,maximum photochemical efficiency of PSⅡ in darkness(F_v/F_m),actual photochemical efficiency of PSⅡ(Φ_(PSⅡ)),electron transport rate(ETR)and photochemical quenching(q_P),while increase in intercellular CO_2 concentration(C_i),initial fluorescence(Fo)and non-photochemical quenching(NPQ). Low temperature increased malondialdehyde(MDA)content. The superoxide dismutase(SOD),peroxidase(POD),catalase(CAT),ascorbate peroxidase(APX)and glutathione reductase(GR)activities increased in the early days of chilling stress,but subsequently decreased. Compared with the control,the NaHS treated leaves showed significantly higher H_2S content,CDes activity,P_n,G_s,T_r,RuBPCase activity,F_v/F_m,Φ_(PSⅡ),ETR and q_P,whereas markedly lower C_i,F_o and NPQ. NaHS caused a significant decrease in MDA content,but an increase in SOD,POD,CAT,APX and GR activities. The yield of NaHS-treated cucumber plants was 15.3% higher than that of the control. This indicated that H_2S which is catalyzed by CDes was induced by chilling stress. Exogenous H_2S can enhance the ROS scavenging activity,and alleviate the injury of photosynthetic apparatus in cucumber leaves against low temperature.
