中文摘要：

以转反义TRXs基因豫麦18和对照（豫麦18）为试材,测定了小麦种子萌发过程中胚乳内thiocalsin、苹果酸脱氢酶、谷丙转氨酶的活性以及游离氨基酸含量的变化。结果表明,反义TRX s基因的导入能够增加对thiocalsin和苹果酸脱氢酶的抑制,降低其活性,使储存蛋白更难以被降解,谷丙转氨酶增高的速度减慢,种子氨基酸代谢减弱。说明蛋白质代谢缓慢是转反义TRXs基因小麦抗穗发芽的一个主要原因。

英文摘要：

Thioredoxin, some small proteins catalyzing thiol-disulfide interchange, are involved in the cell regulation of redox environment. Both the TRX s （thioredoxin s） gene from Phalaris coerulescens and the TRX h （thioredoxin h） gene from wheat belong to the thioredoxin gene family. The sequences of their eDNA are highly homologous, and their expression products have similar biological functions. Transgenic wheat （ Triticum aestivum L. ） was obtained by introducing antisense trxs into wheat with particle bombardment. It has been shown that the thioredoxin h content in the transgenic wheat seeds is reduced, and that the transgenic wheat is highly resistant to pre-harvest sprouting. The leading function of the wheat storage proteins is to offer N for the germination of wheat seeds and the growth of the seedlings. Thiocalsin （ a 14-kD serine protease which is specific for gliadins and glutenins）, malate dehyrogenase（MDH） and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase （GPT） have the close relation to the hydrolysis of the storage proteins in the germination of wheat seeds. To clarify the mechanism of pre-harvest sprouting resistance of transgenic wheat seeds, the activities of thiocalsin, MDH and GPT and the content of amino acids in wheat endosperm were determined during the germination of wheat seeds. The inhibitory effects to thiocalsin and MDH were enhanced so that their activities were reduced in transgenic wheat. During the synthesis of the wheat storageproteins, protein disulfide isomerase （PDI） can catalyze the disulfide-bond-forming reaction, helping the protein to fold into protein polymer. PDI is one of the target proteins of thioredoxin h, and its activity can be depressed by TRX h. The TRX h content of seeds was lower and the PDI activity was higher in transgenic wheat than in wild-type wheat. Compared with wild-type wheat seeds, the results indicated that it was easier for cysteines to form inter-molecular disulfide bond at N-end and C-end of HMW-GS, and that bigger molecular weight protein wa
