摘　要：

本文以小桐子为材料, 研究了外源脱落酸(ABA)对低温胁迫下小桐子幼苗脯氨酸积累的影响。结果表明, 低温胁迫(5℃)可促进小桐子幼苗体内脯氨酸的积累, 上调脯氨酸合成关键酶Δ1-吡咯琳-5-羧酸合成酶(P5CS)和鸟氨酸转氨酶(OAT)的活性, 上调P5CS基因(JcP5CS)的表达, 及抑制脯氨酸降解酶脯氨酸脱氢酶(ProDH)的活性。用外源ABA处理低温胁迫下的小桐子幼苗, 发现150 μmol•L^-1的ABA可显著提高其低温胁迫下的脯氨酸含量, 上调P5CS的活性和JcP5CS的表达水平, 及抑制ProDH的活性。表明外源ABA可通过活化脯氨酸合成的谷氨酸途径和抑制脯氨酸的降解途径来促进低温胁迫下小桐子幼苗脯氨酸的积累。

Abstract:

Jatropha curcas seedlings were used as materials to study the effect of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) on proline accumulation under cold stress. The results showed that cold stress (5 ℃) led to a significant accumulation of proline in J. curcas seedlings. It also induced a rapid increase of activities of the key enzymes Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS) and ornithine aminotransferase (OAT) of proline biosynthesis, and an up-regulation of P5CS gene (JcP5CS) expression, and a decrease of the activity of the key enzyme proline dehydrogenase (ProDH) of proline degradation. Treatment with 150 μmol•L^-1 abscisic acid (ABA) could enhance the accumulation of proline in J. curcas seedlings under cold stress. ABA also increased the activity of P5CS, and improved the expression level of JcP5CS. Furthermore, the ABA treatment decreased the activity of ProDH in J. curcas seedlings under cold stress. These results showed that the ABA-induced proline accumulation in the J. curcas seedlings under cold stress might be a combined result of the activation of glutamate pathways of proline biosynthesis and inhibition of proline degradation pathway.
