摘要:

采用水培法研究了胞外多糖(exopolysaccharides, EPS)对镉(Cd)胁迫下水稻种子萌发过程中生长发育和糖代谢的影响,并以活性氧(reactive oxygen species, ROS)抑制剂为工具,探索了ROS作为信号分子在这一过程中的作用。结果表明,Cd胁迫会严重抑制水稻种子的萌发,对根部的抑制效应尤为显著。添加EPS会显著改变Cd胁迫下水稻种子根部的构型,促进根长的延伸。ROS是种子萌发过程中的重要调控因子,ROS水平降低会严重抑制水稻根部的发育。Cd胁迫对种子萌发过程中的淀粉酶活性有一定的促进作用,同时严重影响糖酵解途径的关键酶活性和葡萄糖等单糖的含量;而添加外源EPS显著改变了Cd胁迫下丙酮酸激酶和果糖-6-磷酸激酶的活性,说明水稻通过提高淀粉降解水平并调控糖代谢来应对外界Cd胁迫。ROS水平的降低也会导致总淀粉酶和β-淀粉酶活性升高,同时对糖代谢速率有显著影响,在水稻萌发的不同阶段,ROS对水稻种子糖酵解途径的调节效应呈现不同趋势。上述结果表明,EPS可有效缓解Cd对水稻种子萌发的抑制效应,尤其对根部构型的影响更为显著;对糖代谢的调控可能是多糖类物质发挥生物学活性的重要途径之一,同时ROS可能在此过程中发挥了重要的信号分子作用。

Abstract:

A hydroponic experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of exopolysaccharides (EPS) on the growth,development and sugar metabolism of rice seeds during germination under cadmium (Cd) stress were investigated using hydroponics, with reactive oxygen species (ROS) inhibitor was used to explore the signaling role of ROS in this process. The results showed that Cd stress severely inhibited rice seed germination, particularly root development. However, EPS supplementation significantly altered root architecture under Cd stress and promoted root elongation. ROS played a crucial regulatory role in seed germination, and reducing ROS levels strongly suppressed root growth. Cd stress moderately enhanced amylase activity during germination, while severely inhibiting the activities of key enzyines in the glycolytic pathway and reducing the contents of monosaccharides (e.g., glucose). Exogenous EPS notably altered pyruvate kinase and phosphofructokinase activities under Cd stress, suggesting that rice adapts to Cd stress by enhancing starch degradation and modulating sugar metabolism. Reducing ROS levels also increased total amylase and β-amylase activities, while significantly affecting sugar metabolic rates. ROS exhibited stage-dependent regulatory effects on the glycolytic pathway during rice germination. In summary, EPS effectively alleviated Cd-induced inhibition of rice seed germination, particularly in root morphology. The regulation of sugar metabolism may be a key mechanism underlying EPS bioactivity, with ROS likely serving as an important signaling molecule in this process.
