Abstract

To investigate the regulatory mechanisms of exogenous hormones on early maturation in Brassica napus, two cultivars, 'Nongda No.1' and 'Zhongshuang 11', were utilized as experimental materials. Plants at the 5-6 leaf stage were treated with foliar sprays of brassinosteroids (BR), gibberellic acid (GA3), or 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), with a distilled water spray serving as the control. Agronomic traits and physiological indicators were analyzed 7 days after treatments. The application of BR, GA3, or NAA promoted pre-winter rapid growth, resulting in reduced leaf length and width but increased root and stem thickness. Notably, NAA treatment significantly enhanced plant height in 'Nongda No.1'. At harvest, all hormone treatments increased final plant height. Moreover, NAA and GA3 significantly shortened the time to maturity, with 'Nongda No.1' maturing 7 days earlier and 'Zhongshuang 11' maturing 5 days earlier compared to the control. The NAA treatment also positively influenced yield-related traits by increasing pod length and seed number per pod, while reducing glucosinolate content. Physiological analyses revealed that 7 days after treatments, NAA significantly elevated leaf catalase (CAT) activity, with 'Zhongshuang 11' exhibiting the highest level (356.80 μmol/g). During the bolting stage, leaf CAT activity in 'Nongda No. 1' exceeded that of the control across all treatments except NAA. Conversely, NAA treatment significantly enhanced stem CAT activity, reaching 1.3-fold (146.31 vs. 111.82 μmol/g) and 1.6-fold (135.89 vs. 87.14 μmol/g) of the control levels in 'Nongda No.1' and 'Zhongshuang 11', respectively.BR treatment significantly increased the malondialdehyde (MDA) content in 'Nongda No.1' after 7 days, which gradually decreased during the bud-to-spike stage. At the spike stage, GA3 treatment resulted in an MDA content twice that of the control, while NAA increased leaf MDA content to 1.9 times the control level. Both NAA and GA3 treatments significantly enhanced peroxidase (POD) activity during the bud-to-spike stage, reaching 1.6-fold and 2.3-fold of the control, respectively. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in 'Nongda No.1' leaves increased 7 days after treatment. During the budding and stem elongation stages, 'Zhongshuang 11' exhibited enhanced SOD activity in leaves under GA3 treatment. However, SOD activity in both the leaves and stems of GA3- and BR-treated 'Zhongshuang 11' plants was lower than in the control during this period.In conclusion, the foliar application of NAA, GA3, and BR enhances stress tolerance and promotes early maturity in rapeseed. NAA enables both leaves and stems to better withstand stress, while NAA and GA3 exert a more pronounced effect on stem elongation. The period 7 days after application represents a critical phase for these hormonal regulations of plant growth and development.

Similar to animal hormones, classic plant hormones are small organic molecules that regulate physiological and developmental processes. In development, this often involves the regulation of growth through the control of cell size or division. The plant hormones auxin and brassinosteroid modulate both cell expansion and proliferation and are known for their overlapping activities in physiological assays. Recent molecular genetic analyses in the model plant Arabidopsis suggest that this reflects interdependent and often synergistic action of the two hormone pathways. Such pathway interactions probably occur through the combinatorial regulation of common target genes by auxin- and brassinosteroid-controlled transcription factors. Moreover, auxin and brassinosteroid signaling and biosynthesis and auxin transport might be linked by an emerging upstream connection involving calcium-calmodulin and phosphoinositide signaling.

以耐旱性大豆品种晋豆21和干旱敏感性大豆品种徐豆22为试验材料,通过盆栽试验,研究&alpha;-萘乙酸(NAA)对花期干旱大豆碳代谢的影响.结果表明: 干旱胁迫下,与徐豆22相比,晋豆21净光合速率(P<sub>n</sub>)下降幅度较小,光呼吸速率(P<sub>r</sub>)和叶片可溶性糖含量增加幅度较小,而叶片蔗糖磷酸合成酶(SPS)、蔗糖合成酶(SS)(合成方向)活性、根系蔗糖含量增加幅度较大.NAA处理提高了干旱胁迫下P<sub>n</sub>,并降低了P<sub>r</sub>,进而明显缓解了干旱胁迫对大豆植株的生长抑制;降低了叶片淀粉分解酶、酸性转化酶(AI)和SS(分解方向)活性,从而抑制了干旱胁迫诱导的可溶性糖积累;NAA处理也能增加干旱胁迫下叶片SPS、SS(合成方向)活性、根系蔗糖含量、根冠比,表明NAA处理促进了叶片中蔗糖向根系的转运.总之,在干旱胁迫下,外源NAA能够通过调控碳代谢增强大豆植株对干旱胁迫的耐受性.

This field experiment analyzed the phytoremediation effects of oilseed rape in moderately cadmium (Cd)-contaminated farmland and the food safety of successive rice in an oilseed rape-rice rotation system. Two oilseed rape cultivars accumulated Cd at different rates. The rapeseed cultivar Zhucang Huazi exhibited high Cd accumulation rates, higher than the legal limit for human consumption (0.2mgkg(-1)); Cd concentrations in the cultivar Chuanyou II-93 were all below the maximum allowed level. Planting oilseed rape increased the uptake of Cd by the successive rice crop compared with a previous fallow treatment. Most Cd concentrations of brown rice were below the maximum allowed level. The phytoextraction efficiency was lower in the moderately Cd-contaminated soil in field experiments. The results suggest screening rice cultivars with lower Cd accumulation can assure the food safety; the mobilization of heavy metals by roots of different plant species should be considered during crop rotation to assure food safety.

Although gibberellins (GAs) are well known for their growth control function, little is known about their effects on primary metabolism. Here the modulation of gene expression and metabolic adjustment in response to changes in plant (Arabidopsis thaliana) growth imposed on varying the gibberellin regime were evaluated. Polysomal mRNA populations were profiled following treatment of plants with paclobutrazol (PAC), an inhibitor of GA biosynthesis, and gibberellic acid (GA(3)) to monitor translational regulation of mRNAs globally. Gibberellin levels did not affect levels of carbohydrates in plants treated with PAC and/or GA(3). However, the tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates malate and fumarate, two alternative carbon storage molecules, accumulated upon PAC treatment. Moreover, an increase in nitrate and in the levels of the amino acids was observed in plants grown under a low GA regime. Only minor changes in amino acid levels were detected in plants treated with GA(3) alone, or PAC plus GA(3). Comparison of the molecular changes at the transcript and metabolite levels demonstrated that a low GA level mainly affects growth by uncoupling growth from carbon availability. These observations, together with the translatome changes, reveal an interaction between energy metabolism and GA-mediated control of growth to coordinate cell wall extension, secondary metabolism, and lipid metabolism.
