干旱是制约农业生产的主要因素之一,会造成作物大面积减产[1]。黄土高原地区是中国最大的苹果优势产区[2],该地区适宜苹果的生长,生产出的苹果品质好、风味佳。但黄土高原地区常年干旱缺水,且大部分苹果种植地位于山区,缺乏灌溉条件。因此,干旱缺水是中国黄土高原地区苹果产业发展的限制因素之一。水对植物的生存至关重要,缺水会限制植物的生长[3]。干旱胁迫会对植物的各种生物活动产生影响,如种子萌发、繁殖和成熟。干旱胁迫会影响植物的形态、生理、生化和代谢途径,并最终导致植物生产力的降低[4-5]。植物也进化出相应的耐旱策略以应对水分胁迫,可通过对植物细胞、组织、器官及整个植株的调控维持生存。通过气孔的调控和更大更深的根系来增加水分运输,从而减少水分的损失。通过抗氧化活性系统清除活性氧(ROS),保持膜的完整性,与胁迫相关的蛋白质和水通道蛋白活性也有助于植物产生耐旱性。通过脯氨酸(PRO)等渗透物质的积累维持细胞膨胀压力。脱落酸(ABA)是植物适应环境胁迫的重要信号分子,在干旱胁迫下,ABA 可以调控植物的气孔开放,从而减缓植物体内水分的亏缺,增强植物抗旱性[6]。9-顺式-环氧类胡萝卜素双加氧酶(NCED)是干旱引发诱导的ABA生物合成的关键酶,NCED基因属于一个具有9个成员的多基因家族[7]

在西北农林科技大学洛川苹果试验站种质资源圃,笔者发现P5、L51、L37、LC36、L7、LC54、ZN18和C31 的果实具有特异性,可作为品种资源选育抗逆优质的苹果新品种。为探究其抗旱性,笔者在本研究中以这8 份苹果种质资源为试验材料,以抗旱性较强的富平楸子和新疆野苹果为对照,对各苹果种质资源的抗旱性进行研究,测定各苹果种质资源的净光合速率(Pn)、叶绿素含量、叶片相对含水量、相对电导率、丙二醛(MDA)含量、过氧化氢(H2O2)含量、超氧阴离子(O2-)含量、抗氧化酶活性、PRO含量、ABA 含量及其合成相关基因的表达量,并利用隶属函数法对各苹果种质资源的抗旱性进行评价。

RWC/%=(FW-DW)/(TW-DW)×100。

相对电导率测定,利用打孔器在叶片上打20个圆片,避开叶脉,装入15 mL 离心管,加入10 mL 纯净水,浸泡4 h 后,混匀利用电导率仪测量电导率(S1),沸水浴20 min,冷却至室温后混匀再次测量电导率(S2),测量纯净水的电导率(S0),计算叶片相对电导率,每个种质资源5 次重复。相对电导率计算公式如下:

MDA、PRO含量测定,按照生产厂家说明书(苏州科铭生物技术有限公司,江苏苏州),利用相应试剂盒进行测定。

1.4 Pn及叶绿素含量测定

在晴朗天气的上午,利用CⅠRAS-3 便携式光合作用系统(CⅠRAS,Amesbury,MA,USA)测定各苹果种质资源的Pn

将叶片剪碎成细条状称取0.1 g 置于15 mL 试管中,加入8 mL 80%丙酮,将叶片全部浸没,避光浸泡24 h,其间每隔一定时间对试管进行晃动,直至叶片上的绿色完全褪去。混匀吸取1 mL加入比色皿,利用UV-2600分光光度计(日本岛津)分别在663 nm、645 nm、470 nm 处测定吸光值,计算各苹果种质资源的总叶绿素含量,每个种质资源5次重复。

1.5 活性氧含量及抗氧化酶活性测定

按照生产厂家说明书(苏州科铭生物技术有限公司,江苏苏州),利用相应试剂盒测定H2O2含量、O2-含量、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性和过氧化物酶(POD)活性。

1.6 ABA含量的测定

称取0.1 g 经研磨的冻样于2 mL 离心管中,加入1 mL 经-20 ℃预冷的提取液(V 异丙醇V 甲醇V 乙酸=79∶20∶1),涡旋震荡混匀,4 ℃提取12 h,4 ℃条件下12 000 r·min-1离心10 min,用一次性注射器吸取上清液经0.22 μm 有机过滤器过滤后加入棕色进样瓶,利用液质联用仪测定[8]

1.8 隶属函数的计算

考虑到试验材料遗传背景不同,各项生理指标存在较大差异,故利用短期干旱第0天和第9天各项指标的相对变化率进行隶属函数的计算,以评价各苹果种质资源的抗旱性。

若该指标与抗旱性呈正相关,该指标的隶属函数计算公式为:

若该指标与抗旱性呈负相关,该指标的隶属函数计算公式为:

式中,UX)为隶属函数值,X 指某一指标的相对变化率[(S 第9 -S 第0 )/S 第0 ×100%],S为某一指标的测量数值;Xmax指某一指标相对变化率的最大值,Xmin指某一指标相对变化率的最小值。在测定的指标中,与抗旱性负相关的有相对电导率、MDA含量、H2O2含量和O2-含量,其余指标与抗旱性呈正相关。

2 结果与分析

2.1 自然干旱胁迫下各苹果种质资源的表型及生理指标

在自然干旱胁迫后,各苹果种质资源的叶片均出现不同程度的失水萎蔫(图1),干旱处理第9天各苹果种质资源间的差异最显著,其中LC54叶片的萎蔫程度最为严重。在干旱处理后,各苹果种质资源的叶片相对含水量(w,后同)显著降低(图2-A),变化范围为0.72%~30.3%,其中LC54的叶片相对含水量降幅最大。在干旱处理后,各苹果种质资源叶片的相对电导率显著升高(图2-B),变化范围为14.16%~61.99%。在干旱胁迫下,各苹果种质资源叶片的MDA 含量也显著升高,变化范围为9.42%~65.82%,在干旱处理第9 天,LC54 的MDA 含量最高,LC36 的MDA 含量最低(图2-C)。在干旱胁迫第0 天,各苹果种质资源叶片的PRO 含量维持在较低水平,分布范围为9.81~17.11 μg·g-1,在干旱处理第9天,各苹果种质资源叶片的PRO含量显著增加,分布范围为67.8~152.66 μg·g-1,LC36的PRO含量在干旱处理后显著高于其他种质资源,LC54、L37、P5的PRO 含量在干旱处理后显著低于其他种质资源(图2-D)。

2.2 自然干旱胁迫下各苹果种质资源的Pn和叶绿素含量

在干旱处理第0 天,各苹果种质资源叶片的Pn在12.3~19.06 μmol·m-2·s-1之间,在干旱处理第9天,各苹果种质资源叶片的Pn显著降低,变化范围为40.65%~68.03%,其中LC54的Pn显著低于其他种质资源,LC36、富平楸子和新疆野苹果的Pn较高(图3-A)。在干旱处理后,各苹果种质资源叶片的叶绿素含量也显著降低(图3-B),这些结果表明,在干旱处理后,各苹果种质资源均遭受到了不同程度的损伤,其中以LC54的损伤最严重,初步表明在各苹果种质资源中LC54的抗旱性最差。

2.3 自然干旱胁迫下各苹果种质资源的活性氧含量及抗氧化酶活性

植物在遭受到干旱胁迫时会产生大量的O2-等活性氧(ROS),以抵御外界环境的变化[10],然而过量的ROS 积累会导致植物氧化损伤[11]。在干旱处理第0天,各苹果种质资源叶片的H2O2含量较低,在干旱胁迫第9 天,各苹果种质资源的H2O2含量(b,后同)显著增加,分布范围为25.23~35.49 μmol·g-1,LC36的H2O2含量显著低于其他种质资源(图4-A)。如图4-B所示,在干旱处理第0天,各苹果种质资源叶片的O2-含量分布范围为29.31~42.69 nmol·g-1,在干旱处理第9天,各苹果种质资源叶片的O2-含量显著增加,LC54、P5和L37的O2-含量显著高于其他种质资源。为防止过量的ROS对植物的损伤,植物可通过相应抗氧化酶系统清除植物体内过量的ROS[12]。通过对各苹果种质资源SOD活性和POD活性测定可知,在干旱处理后,各苹果种质资源叶片内的SOD活性和POD活性显著升高。在干旱处理第9天,L7的POD活性最高,LC54的POD活性最低,LC36的SOD活性最高,LC54的SOD活性最低(图4-C~D)。

2.4 自然干旱胁迫下各苹果种质资源的ABA含量

ABA 在植物应对干旱等胁迫时具有重要作用[13],因此测量了各苹果种质资源叶片的ABA含量(图5-A)。在干旱处理第0天,各苹果种质资源叶片的ABA 含量有显著差异,但均维持在相对较低水平,分布范围为14.60~45.97 ng·g-1,在干旱处理第9天,各苹果种质资源叶片的ABA 含量显著增高,分布范围为117.52~526.48 ng·g-1,LC54 的ABA 含量显著高于其他种质资源。通过测定各苹果种质资源与ABA 生物合成有关的2 个基因发现,MdNCED1MdNCED3 基因相对表达量均在干旱处理第0 天维持在较低水平,在干旱处理第9天显著升高,与叶片内ABA含量的变化趋势相一致(图5-B、C)。

2.5 利用隶属函数法评价各苹果种质资源的抗旱性

以各苹果种质资源干旱胁迫第0 天和第9 天各指标的相对变化率计算隶属函数值,以各苹果种质资源隶属函数值的平均值为依据进行抗旱性的评价,平均隶属函数值越高说明对干旱的敏感度越低,则愈抗旱。综合Pn、叶绿素含量、叶片相对含水量、相对电导率、MDA含量、H2O2含量、O2-含量、SOD活性、POD活性、PRO含量、ABA含量共计11项指标,计算出各苹果种质资源的平均隶属函数值,结果(表2)表明,LC36 的平均隶属函数值最大,表明在干旱胁迫下LC36 各指标的相对变化程度最小,与其他种质资源相比抗旱性最强。平均隶属函数值最小的是LC54,表明其抗旱性最弱。由此笔者得出各苹果种质资源的抗旱性依次为:LC36>L7>富平楸子>新疆野苹果>L51>C31>P5>ZN18>L37>LC54。

3 讨 论

干旱严重制约了农业的发展,在生产上每年造成重大损失[14]。干旱胁迫会影响植物的生长发育,在植物中表现出不同的形态、生理、生化和分子变化[4-5]。光合作用是植物碳同化最重要的代谢过程[15],植物在遭受干旱胁迫后会对光合器官造成损伤,导致植物光合能力的下降[16]。在本研究中,干旱胁迫后各苹果种质资源叶片的Pn显著降低,这与前人研究结果一致[17-18]。叶绿素是植物主要的光合色素,在光合色素获取光方面起着重要作用[19]。Zhao等[20]研究发现,长期水分胁迫下植株的叶绿素含量均降低,梁博文[21]研究发现,自然干旱胁迫下植株的叶绿素浓度显著降低,这与笔者在本研究中的结果一致。本研究中,短期干旱处理后各苹果种质资源的叶绿素含量显著降低。研究表明,在干旱胁迫下,植物叶绿素的降解主要与活性氧(ROS)的过量产生有关[22-23]。这些研究结果表明,植物在干旱胁迫中Pn的降低可能与叶绿素含量的降低有关。

植物在进行光合作用时会产生大量活性氧(ROS)[24-25],活性氧(ROS)会引起膜脂质的过氧化和去酯化,并导致蛋白质变性,从而进一步损伤植物细胞[26]。前人研究表明,植物在干旱胁迫下,体内的活性氧(ROS)水平会显著增加[27-29]。在本研究中,干旱胁迫后各苹果种质资源的O2-含量显著增加,各苹果种质资源O2-含量的增长范围在84.31%~197.97%之间。H2O2含量在干旱胁迫第0 天的含量较低,在干旱胁迫第9 天显著增高,这与前人研究结果相同[14,30]。此外,笔者在本研究中测定了各苹果种质资源的POD、SOD 活性,结果表明,干旱胁迫后,各苹果种质资源的POD、SOD 活性显著增强,且抗旱性越强的种质资源抗氧化酶活性越强。这些研究结果表明,各苹果种质资源在干旱胁迫下,植株体内的活性氧(ROS)因胁迫显著增加,同时植株产生大量抗氧化酶抑制活性氧(ROS)的产生,但LC36等种质资源的抗氧化酶SOD、POD 活性较高,因此积累的活性氧(ROS)较少,表现出更强的抗旱能力。

植物在干旱胁迫下ABA 含量会显著增加[31],ABA可维持植物水分状态、增强光合作用从而减弱干旱的影响[32]。在本研究中,干旱胁迫后各苹果种质资源的ABA含量显著升高,且LC36的ABA含量增幅最大,这与前人研究结果相同。9-顺式-环氧类胡萝卜素双加氧酶(NCED)是ABA 合成的关键酶[33]。在本研究中,笔者检测了MdNCED1MdNCED3 的基因表达量,结果表明,MdNCED1MdNCED3 的基因表达量在干旱处理第0 天维持在较低水平,在干旱处理第9 天显著升高,与叶片内ABA含量的变化相一致。前人研究表明,在干旱胁迫下,PRO 等渗透保护剂可降低活性氧(ROS)对植物细胞膜的损伤[34],同时它们不会干扰细胞水平的正常代谢过程[35]。在本研究中,在干旱胁迫第9天,各苹果种质资源的PRO含量显著增加,这与前人研究结果相同[36-37]

隶属函数值是从隶属度的角度出发,运用模糊数学的基本理论,采用隶属度函数法计算得到的综合评估值[38-39]。目前,隶属函数法在作物抗性评价方面广泛应用。冯琛等[40]利用隶属函数法对不同苹果矮化砧穗组合的抗旱性进行研究,发现宫藤富士/SH6组合的抗旱性比宫藤富士/G935、宫藤富士/M9-T337的强。王健强等[41]利用隶属函数法对7种矮化砧木进行了抗旱性评价,研究结果表明冀砧1号和SH40的抗旱性较其他砧木更强。在本研究中,利用11种测定指标进行了隶属函数分析,对各苹果种质资源的抗旱性进行评价,研究发现各苹果种质资源的抗旱性依次为:LC36>L7>富平楸子>新疆野苹果>L51>C31>P5>ZN18>L37>LC54。

4 结 论

在干旱胁迫下植物的Pn降低、膜完整性被破坏、ABA和PRO含量显著增加,但由于各苹果种质资源对干旱的抗性不同,干旱胁迫前后各指标的变化幅度也不同,根据隶属函数值得出各苹果种质资源的抗旱性依次为:LC36>L7>富平楸子>新疆野苹果>L51>C31>P5>ZN18>L37>LC54。LC36、L7 两份种质资源的抗旱性高于普遍认为抗旱性强的富平楸子和新疆野苹果,而其他资源的抗旱性则低于富平楸子和新疆野苹果,因此,LC36和L7是改善苹果抗旱性的重要资源。

Abstract: 【Objective】Drought is one of the main factors restricting agricultural production, which would cause a large scale yield reduction.The Loess Plateau is the largest apple producing area in China.However,the Loess Plateau is faced with perennial drought and water shortage,and most of the apple planting areas are located in mountainous areas short of irrigation conditions. Drought and water shortage are the main limiting factors for the development of apple industry in the Loess Plateau of China.Therefore,it is of great significance to breed rootstocks and varieties with strong drought resistance.Ⅰn the previous study, 8 apple germplasm resources with utilization value were found in our laboratory.This study evaluated their drought resistance in order to provide reference for the utilization and resistance breeding.【Methods】Ⅰn this study,P5(Malus asiatica),L51(M.robusta),L37(M.hybrid‘Dwarf Tree’),LC36(M.hybrid‘Cranberry’),L7(M.soulardii),LC54(M.domestica‘Oekonomierat Echtermeyer’),ZN18(M.domestica,Sciros×Scifresh)and C31(M.domestica‘Trail’)were used as experimental materials, and M. prunifolia and M. sieversii were used as controls. Ⅰn the spring of 2022, the bud grafting method was used to graft them on the M.hupehensis Rehd.When the height of all test materials reached 70-80 cm, the plants with the same height were selected for experiment. The treatment group was watered thoroughly the day before the treatment and stopped watering until the 9th day of the treatment. The control group was watered normally every day, and the soil relative water content was maintained at 75%-85%. From the 0th day of treatment, the net photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content,relative water content and relative conductivity of leaves were measured every other day.Completely mature leaves were collected from 7-15 leaves below the top of the stem,wrapped in the tin foil paper,immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen,and stored at-80 ℃for the determination of the malondialdehyde content,hydrogen peroxide content,superoxide anion(O2-)content,antioxidant enzyme activity, proline,ABA content and the expression of the synthesis-related genes of each apple germplasm resource. The drought resistance of each apple germplasm resource was evaluated by membership function method.【Results】(1) After natural drought stress, the leaves of the apple germplasm resources wilted to varying degrees. The leaves of LC54 wilted most seriously, and the leaves of LC36 wilted most lightly.After drought treatment, the leaf relative water content of each apple germplasm resource decreased significantly,and the leaf relative water content of LC54 decreased most apparently.(2)After drought treatment,the relative conductivity,MDA content and proline content of the leaves of the apple germplasm resources increased significantly.On the 9th day of the drought stress,the net photosynthetic rate and chlorophyll content of various germplasm resources decreased significantly.(3)The O2-content of the apple germplasm resources increased significantly after drought stress, and the increase range of the O2-content of the apple germplasm resources was between 84.31%and 197.97%.The content of H2O2 was lower on the 0th day of drought stress,and significantly increased on the 9th day of the drought stress. (4) The ABA content of the apple germplasm resources increased significantly after the drought stress. The gene expression of the MdNCED1 and MdNCED3 remained at a low level on the 0th day of the drought treatment, and increased significantly on the 9th day of the drought treatment,which was consistent with the change of the ABA content in the leaves.(5)The comprehensive net photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, leaf relative water content, relative conductivity, malondialdehyde content,hydrogen peroxide content,superoxide anion(O2-)content,superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity, peroxidase (POD) activity, proline,ABA content, a total of 11 indicators, were used to calculate the average membership function value of each apple germplasm resource.The results showed that the average membership function value of LC36 was the largest, indicating that the relative change degree of each index of LC36 was the smallest under the drought stress,and the drought resistance was the strongest among the 8 apple germplasm resources.The average membership function value of LC54 was the smallest, indicating that its drought resistance was the weakest.【Conclusion】The results of this study showed that under the drought stress, the net photosynthetic rate of plants decreased, the membrane integrity was destroyed,and the contents of ABA and proline increased significantly.However,due to the different resistance of the apple germplasm resources to drought, the changes of each index before and after the drought stress were also different.According to the membership function value, we concluded that the drought resistance of each apple germplasm resource is:LC36>L7>M.prunifoliaM.sieversii>L51>C31>P5>ZN18>L37>LC54.The drought resistance of LC36 and L7 germplasm resources is greater than that of M. prunifolia and M. sieversii, while the drought resistance of other resources is lower than that of M.prunifolia and M.sieversii.Therefore,LC36 and L7 are important resources for improvement of the drought resistance of apple.
