地面臭氧(O-3)减少了全世界许多地区的农业生产。然而,O-3毒性的病因仍不清楚。活性氧物种似乎造成生物化学病变和传播复合植物损伤的防御反应。由于一些植物防御反应涉及膜界定的GTP酶,(G蛋白),我们评估了异源三聚体G蛋白途径中改变的拟南芥突变体的O-3敏感性0、100、175和250 nmol mol mol(-1))处理13 d后,通常在野生型叶中观察到的上向性在缺乏G蛋白复合体α亚基(gpal)的突变体植物中不发生。O-3诱导的抑制叶片叶绿素水平和单位叶面积的叶质量的gpal突变体较少,并没有由于O-3 flux.There是一个G-蛋白α亚基的缺乏和O-3敏感性下降之间的正相关。我们的研究结果表明,异源三聚体G蛋白是至关重要的参与O-3的影响在植物中的表达。
Ground-level ozone (O-3) curtails agricultural production in many regions worldwide. However, the etiology of O-3 toxicity remains unclear. Activated oxygen species appear to inflict biochemical lesions and propagate defense responses that compound plant injury. Because some plant defense responses involve membrane-delimited GTPases (G proteins), we evaluated the O-3 sensitivity of Arabidopsis mutants altered in the heterotrimeric G-protein pathway.Eight genotypes were treated with a range of O-3 concentrations (0, 100, 175 and 250 nmol mol(-1)) for 13 d in controlled environment chambers.After treatment with O-3, the epinasty typically observed for wild type leaves did not occur in mutant plants lacking the alpha subunit of the G-protein complex (gpal). O-3-induced suppression of leaf chlorophyll levels and leaf mass per unit leaf area were less for gpal mutants and were not due to differences in O-3 flux.There was a positive correlation between the lack of a G-protein alpha subunit and decreased O-3 sensitivity. Our results suggest that a heterotrimeric G-protein is critically involved in the expression of O-3 effects in plants.
