摘要
苗期干旱是影响东北大豆生长的主要因素之一, 研究外源褪黑素对大豆苗期抗旱的调控效应具有重要意义。试验于2018—2019年进行, 以‘绥农26’为材料, 正常浇灌营养液处理为对照(CK), 研究了干旱胁迫(D)、干旱胁迫+叶面喷施褪黑素(LM)和干旱胁迫+浇灌褪黑素(RM)处理对大豆苗期生理指标和产量的影响。结果表明, 与干旱胁迫(D)处理相比, 施用褪黑素处理(LM和RM)提高干旱胁迫下大豆气体交换参数、苗期各器官干物质积累量、叶片中抗氧化酶活性和可溶性蛋白含量。其中, V2期和V4期的净光合速率、气孔导度以及V4期蒸腾速率、胞间二氧化碳浓度均显著提高(P<0.05); RM处理POD和CAT均显著增加(P<0.05); V2期和V4期干旱后第8天可溶性蛋白含量增幅显著(P<0.05)。与D处理相比, V2和V4期LM处理大豆产量年均增加24.2% (P<0.05)和19.1%, RM处理年均增加38.6% (P<0.05)和56.3% (P<0.05), 其中, 与LM处理相比, RM处理产量年均增加11.6%和31.3% (P<0.05)。表明, 应用褪黑素提高干旱胁迫下大豆产量, 其中浇灌褪黑素处理产量高于叶面喷施处理。

Abstract
It is of great significance to study the mechanism of improving the drought resistance ability of soybean seedlings for the growth of soybean seedlings in Northeast China. This experiment was conducted using ‘Suinong 26’ as the experimental material with four treatments to investigate the physiological indexes and yield of soybean under drought stress, including the normal nutrient solution (CK), the drought stress treatment (D), the drought stress + foliar spraying melatonin treatment (LM), and the drought stress + irrigation melatonin treatment (RM). The results indicated that the gas exchange parameters, the dry matter accumulation of organ at seedling stage, the activities of antioxidant enzyme, and the content of soluble protein were increased under LM and RM compared with D. The net photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance were significantly increased at V2 and V4 stages, and the transpiration rate and intercellular carbon dioxide concentration were significantly increased at V4 stage with P < 0.05; POD and CAT of RM were significantly increased at P < 0.05; the content of soluble protein was significantly increased after drought stress at V2 and V4 stages at P < 0.05. Compared with D, the yield of soybean with LM at V2 and V4 stages was increased by 24.2% and 19.1% at P < 0.05, RM increased by 38.6% and 56.3% at P < 0.05. Compared with LM, the yield of soybean with RM at V2 and V4 stages was increased by 11.6% and 31.3% at P < 0.05. These results revealed that the application of melatonin increased the yield of soybean under drought stress and the yield of soybean with irrigation melatonin treatment was higher than that of foliar spraying melatonin treatment.

大豆苗期生长发育状况对大豆产量的丰欠起决定作用[1]。苗期短期干旱条件下, 大豆自身会应对干旱形成防御机制[2], 产生酶促和非酶促组成的抗氧化防御系统(抗氧化酶和抗氧化剂等)和渗透保护物质(可溶性糖和可溶性蛋白等)等缓解干旱引起的氧化损伤[3,4]; 而随着干旱时间延长, 细胞会积累大量的活性氧自由基(H2O2和O2-), 打破活性氧的代谢平衡系统, 加剧膜脂过氧化作用, 造成细胞内蛋白质和酶等生物大分子失活, 导致细胞膜的结构与功能损伤, 光合能力下降, 碳水化合物合成受阻, 影响作物苗期形态建成[5,6,7]。因此, 如何在干旱胁迫条件下维持较强的自由基清除能力、光合和同化物质供应能力对于提高大豆苗期抗旱性和稳定性具有重要意义。
褪黑素(melatonin, MT)是内源性的自由基清除剂和抗氧化剂[8], 能够有效清除过量的活性氧物质(reactive oxygen species, ROS)、刺激抗氧化酶活性进行抗氧化调节、增强抗氧化剂的抗氧化能力[9,10]、提高线粒体内部氧化磷酸化进行抗氧化调节, 防止细胞过度氧化, 有效缓解作物逆境胁迫的非生物胁迫损伤[11]。逆境胁迫条件下, 外源褪黑素具有抗氧化作用, 已在大豆[12]、玉米[13]、黄瓜[14]、苹果[15]、小麦[5]等作物中有相关报道。大量研究表明, 外源褪黑素主要通过提高植株抗氧化系统, 提高光系统的电子传递速率, 加强光能向光化学反应方向的分配[16], 缓解逆境胁迫对光合系统的损伤, 清除过量的自由基, 提高渗透调节物质含量[17], 降低丙二醛(malondialdehyde, MDA)含量来保持细胞膜的完整性[10], 缓解干旱胁迫对大豆苗期生长发育的损伤。前人关于褪黑素在大豆应对非生物胁迫的研究已有较多报道, 但研究主要集中在叶面喷施处理[3,12,17-18], 而针对干旱胁迫下褪黑素不同施用方式对大豆苗期生理指标影响的相关研究报道较少。因此, 本试验通过研究在苗期干旱胁迫条件下外源褪黑素对大豆幼苗生长、物质积累、光合特性、抗氧化系统和产量等指标的影响, 探讨外源褪黑素对大豆抗旱性的生理机制, 以期为褪黑素应用于缓解大豆苗期干旱提供理论依据。

2.3 大豆苗期气体交换参数的变化

3 讨论
苗期干旱影响大豆生长发育[24,25]。随着干旱胁迫时间的延长, 大豆生长受到抑制。褪黑素作为一种广谱生理调节剂, 在干旱胁迫下, 能有效缓解植物损伤[26], 延迟苹果叶片的衰老[27], 增强大豆鼓粒期的耐旱性, 促进植物生长[28]。本研究中, 叶面喷施和浇灌褪黑素均不同程度缓解了干旱胁迫对大豆苗期生长发育状况的影响, 使株高、叶面积和生物量下降幅度减缓, 促进根系生长, 增加根体积及根表面积, 有利于水分的吸收。推测其原因可能是褪黑素具有和生长素相同的前体物质及相似的生理功能, 会诱导生长素的合成来促进植物体内生理代谢活性[28], 促进根系对水分和养分的吸收利用, 抵御干旱胁迫对植株造成的损伤, 进而增加其抗旱能力。光合作用是植物生长发育和产量形成的重要代谢过程, 是植物生长发育的物质和能量的主要来源[29]。干旱通过关闭气孔减少水分蒸腾, 阻滞胞外CO2进入, 降低叶片对光能的吸收和转化效率[30], 过剩的光能超出光合器官的利用范围, 会使光合器官受到损伤, 最终导致植物生长受到限制[31]。本试验结果表明, 干旱胁迫条件下, 通过降低叶片的气孔导度(Gs)以降低叶片的蒸腾速率(Tr)和胞间二氧化碳浓度(Ci), 气孔开合度降低导致光合作用的原料CO2不足而降低净光速率(Pn)。而应用褪黑素提高了干旱胁迫下大豆叶片光合作用, 减缓光合气体交换参数和叶面积的降低。一方面, 干旱胁迫下, 应用褪黑素可以显著提高叶片Gs和Ci, 显著降低CO2从细胞间隙向叶绿体传递阻力, 提高碳同化过程CO2的吸收速率[32], 缓解因干旱引起气孔关闭导致的光合原料不足的问题, 表明应用外源褪黑素可修复因干旱胁迫导致的光合系统损伤, 提高叶片的Pn, 增强大豆对干旱的耐受性; 另一方面, 干旱条件下, 外源褪黑素提高了叶片对光能的吸收和转化效率, 降低了过多的光能对光合器官的损伤程度[33], 提高了各器官干物质积累量及向籽粒中的分配, 最终促进大豆生长发育和产量提高。干旱胁迫引起植物对光能捕获与利用的失调, 在PSI中NADPH氧化酶与O2反应产生过量O2-, 在PSII中形成H2O2[34], 导致大量积累的光量子与氧分子结合, 加剧了ROS和膜脂过氧化产物丙二醛(MDA)产生[35], 被认为是植物损伤过程中膜脂过氧化程度的标志。随着干旱时间的延长ROS和MDA呈增加的趋势[36], 本研究中, V2和V4期干旱后的第4天至第8天O2-、H2O2和MDA含量增加, 说明干旱胁迫下膜脂过氧化程度加剧, 细胞生物膜受损, 而褪黑素处理降低了干旱胁迫下ROS (H2O2、O2-)和MDA的过量积累, 说明褪黑素处理维持细胞渗透平衡, 通过与自由基的级联互作[37], 减轻干旱胁迫下膜质过氧化物对细胞膜的伤害, 主要原因与褪黑素可以提高作物抗氧化系统, 抑制膜质过氧化的反应有关[38], 利于保护膜的完整性, 缓解植株损伤程度, 增强大豆苗期的抗旱性, 这与刘仕翔等[39]在水稻上的研究结果较为相似。另有研究表明, 在干旱胁迫下, 黄瓜[40]和大豆[12,17-18]幼苗应用褪黑素可提高叶片的抗氧化酶活性、抗氧化剂和渗透调节物质含量。本试验中同样发现干旱条件下应用褪黑素后, 可诱导提高抗氧化酶活性和非酶类抗氧化剂含量, 从而减少活性氧的积累, 缓解植株损伤程度。逆境胁迫时植株体内抗氧化防御系统随之启动, SOD可将过量的O2-歧化反应生成为H2O2和O2, POD参与H2O2的清除, CAT通过酶的血红素铁与H2O2反应生成铁过氧化物活性体, 降低植株体内的ROS[41]。本试验中, 褪黑素处理对抗氧化酶(SOD、POD、CAT)活性显著提高, 说明褪黑素可能会通过激发自身抗氧化系统相关的调控基因, 清除由干旱胁迫积累过多的H2O2和O2-, 提高可溶性蛋白等渗透调节物质含量, 平衡细胞内外渗透电位, 缓解细胞生物膜的损伤, 降低MDA含量, 其中浇灌褪黑素处理略好于叶面喷施处理。
大量研究已证实, 采用不同的施用方式应用外源激素如浸种[42]、叶面喷施[43]和浇灌[44]均可以不同程度的缓解或减轻逆境对作物造成的损伤, 具有用量小、见效快、效果显著等特点。本研究表明, 将100 µmol L -1褪黑素采用浇灌方式能较好的缓解干旱胁迫对大豆幼苗造成的损伤, 减缓对百粒重的抑制效果, 降低大豆落花落荚率, 增加荚果数量, 或许与叶片光合作用的同化产物运输有关, 可能会加速向籽粒运转, 促进籽粒发育进而提高大豆产量。基于本试验2年的生理研究结果表明, 利用褪黑素缓解干旱抑制的效果来提高作物抗逆性是一种重要的农业调节措施, 而褪黑素处理的作用机理和模式仍需要进行广泛而深入的研究。
4 结论
大豆苗期干旱胁迫下, 应用褪黑素可以提高叶片抗氧化酶活性和渗透调节物质的含量, 清除了过量的活性氧, 降低了MDA含量, 增加叶面积, 改善光合特性, 加速光合产物向各器官积累, 通过提高大豆单株荚数和单株粒数, 进而提高大豆产量, 缓解大豆苗期的干旱胁迫。其中, 浇灌褪黑素(RM)处理产量高于叶面喷施褪黑素(LM)处理。参考文献 原文顺序

We studied the effects of melatonin on soybean photosynthesis and seed growth at different developmental stages under drought stress induced by polyethylene glycol in the growth medium. Experimental groups were supplied with a normal nutrient solution after seven days of continuous treatment; overall, five treatments were completed when the early maturity stage was reached. Under normal water supply, melatonin supplementation had no significant effect on the photosynthetic characteristics or soybean seed growth. However, drought stress reduced leaf relative water content, chlorophyll content, and relative photosynthetic gas-exchange parameters, while it increased a leaf content of osmoregulatory substances, antioxidant-related enzyme activities, and seed growth-related indicators. Compared to the drought-stressed group, the melatonin treatment under drought stress improved the above indicators; specifically, melatonin effectively increased the photosynthetic rate, 100-seed mass, and total seed mass per plant. All the effects were most significant during the first seven days after the early seed-filling stage.

A comprehensive investigation was carried out to determine the changes that occurred in water-stressed cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) in response to melatonin treatment. We examined the potential roles of melatonin during seed germination and root generation and measured its effect on reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, antioxidant enzyme activities, and photosynthesis. Melatonin alleviated polyethylene glycol induced inhibition of seed germination, with 100 μm melatonin-treated seeds showing the greatest germination rate. Melatonin stimulated root generation and vitality and increased the root:shoot ratio; therefore, melatonin may have an effect on strengthening cucumber roots. Melatonin treatment significantly reduced chlorophyll degradation. Seedlings treated with 100 μm melatonin clearly showed a higher photosynthetic rate, thus reversing the effect of water stress. Furthermore, the ultrastructure of chloroplasts in water-stressed cucumber leaves was maintained after melatonin treatment. The antioxidant levels and activities of the ROS scavenging enzymes, i.e., superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and catalase, were also increased by melatonin. These results suggest that the adverse effects of water stress can be minimized by the application of melatonin. © 2012 John Wiley & Sons A/S.

In order to investigate the role of melatonin in the drought tolerance, we examined pigments, gas exchange, osmolytes, and reactive oxygen radical metabolism in soybean plants. Drought declined photosynthetic pigments and caused irreversible reduction in net photosynthesis, which was followed by stomatal limitation for 5 and 10 d and nonstomatal limitation for 15 d. Soluble sugar, soluble proteins, and proline concentrations were higher in drought-stressed seedlings compared with the control. The contents of superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, and malondialdehyde increased during drought stress indicating oxidative stress. Drought stress also increased superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and catalase activities. Melatonin treatment improved the tolerance of drought-treated plants, which was possibly due to the enhanced content of osmolytes and higher antioxidant enzyme activities that retard dehydration and lipid peroxidation.

Melatonin was measured in a species of aerobic photosynthetic bacteria, Erythrobacter longus, grown in either constant light or constant dark. A radioimmunoassay was used to quantify melatonin levels and thin-layer chromatography to confirm the identity of melatonin immunoactivity. Melatonin levels were significantly higher (nearly 2.3-fold) in the dark-grown than in the light-grown samples. Also, the homogenates of the dark-grown bacteria retained melatonin-producing enzymatic activity, whereas the light-grown homogenates did not; melatonin levels extracted from the dark-grown homogenates increased with increasing extraction time, reaching as high as 29.2 ng.mg-1 protein at 120 min. Removal of membrane fragments from homogenates did not influence melatonin levels in light-grown homogenate, but this procedure increased melatonin levels in dark-grown homogenate, indicating that at least some of the enzymes in the pathway of melatonin production are not membrane-bound. This study is the second to demonstrate the presence of melatonin at the prokaryotic level, supporting the evidence that melatonin appeared very early in evolution. Its function in prokaryotes has not been determined, but may relate to its antioxidative actions.

Melatonin is a well-known agent that plays multiple roles in animals. Its possible function in plants is less clear. In the present study, we tested the effect of melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) on soybean growth and development. Coating seeds with melatonin significantly promoted soybean growth as judged from leaf size and plant height. This enhancement was also observed in soybean production and their fatty acid content. Melatonin increased pod number and seed number, but not 100-seed weight. Melatonin also improved soybean tolerance to salt and drought stresses. Transcriptome analysis revealed that salt stress inhibited expressions of genes related to binding, oxidoreductase activity/process, and secondary metabolic processes. Melatonin up-regulated expressions of the genes inhibited by salt stress, and hence alleviated the inhibitory effects of salt stress on gene expressions. Further detailed analysis of the affected pathways documents that melatonin probably achieved its promotional roles in soybean through enhancement of genes involved in cell division, photosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, fatty acid biosynthesis, and ascorbate metabolism. Our results demonstrate that melatonin has significant potential for improvement of soybean growth and seed production. Further study should uncover more about the molecular mechanisms of melatonin's function in soybeans and other crops. © The Author 2014.
