Improving Photosynthetic Capacity, Alleviating Photosynthetic Inhibition and Oxidative Stress Under Low Temperature Stress With Exogenous Hydrogen Sulfide in Blueberry Seedlings.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we investigated the mechanism of photosynthesis and physiological function of blueberry leaves under low temperature stress (4-6°C) by exogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) by spraying leaves with 0.5 mmol·L-1 NaHS (H2S donor) and 200 ?mol·L-1 hypotaurine (Hypotaurine, H2S scavenger). The results showed that chlorophyll and carotenoid content in blueberry leaves decreased under low temperature stress, and the photochemical activities of photosystem II (PSII) and photosystem I (PSI) were also inhibited. Low temperature stress can reduce photosynthetic carbon assimilation capacity by inhibiting stomatal conductance (G s) of blueberry leaves, and non-stomatal factors also play a limiting role at the 5th day of low temperature stress. Low temperature stress leads to the accumulation of Pro and H2O2 in blueberry leaves and increases membrane peroxidation. Spraying leaves with NaHS, a donor of exogenous H2S, could alleviate the degradation of chlorophyll and carotenoids in blueberry leaves caused by low temperature and reduce the photoinhibition of PSII and PSI. The main reason for the enhancement of photochemical activity of PSII was that exogenous H2S promoted the electron transfer from Q A to Q B on PSII acceptor side under low temperature stress. In addition, it promoted the accumulation of osmotic regulator proline under low temperature stress and significantly alleviated membrane peroxidation. H2S scavengers (Hypotaurine) aggravated photoinhibition and the degree of oxidative damage under low temperature stress. Improving photosynthetic capacity as well as alleviating photosynthetic inhibition and oxidative stress with exogenous H2S is possible in blueberry seedlings under low temperature stress.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to explore the effect of exogenous hydrogen sulphide (H2S) on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress (ERS) in a rat model of hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. A total of 48 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups (n=12/group) as follows: Sham, I/R, I/R preceded by NaHS (I/R-NaHS) and I/R preceded by L-C-propargylglycine (PAG), a H2S inhibitor (I/R-PAG). With the exception of the sham group, the rats in the other groups were subjected to 30 min hepatic warm ischemia followed by reperfusion for 6 or 12 h. Hepatic function was evaluated by serum concentrations of alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Apoptosis of hepatic cells was assessed by TUNEL staining and measurement of caspase-12 expression. The expression levels of ERS-associated proteins and mRNAs of pancreatic ER eukaryotic translation initiation factor-2a kinase (PERK), activating transcription factor-6 (ATF6), glucose-regulated protein (GRP) 78, TNF-receptor-associated factor (TRAF)-2, C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and caspase-12 were also measured by western blotting and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. The serum concentrations of ALT in the I/R and I/R-PAG groups were found to be significantly higher compared with those in the sham and I/R-NaHS groups after 6 h of reperfusion; in addition, the ALT level returned to normal in the I/R group, while it increased further in the I/R-PAG group after 12 h of reperfusion. A higher cell apoptosis rate was observed in the I/R and I/R-PAG groups and the highest cell apoptosis rate was observed in the I/R-PAG group; correspondingly, the expression of caspase-12 was increased in the I/R and I/R-PAG groups. H2S appeared to significantly attenuate hepatic I/R-induced ERS response, as indicated by the decreased expression of ATF6, PERK, GRP78, TRAF2 and CHOP. Endogenous H2S may serve a hepatoprotective function after I/R, and inhibition of endogenous H2S results in aggravation of I/R damage. Exogenous H2S was shown to inhibit ERS-related gene expression, leading to suppression of inflammatory reaction and improvement of I/R damage. Therefore, exogenous H2S has therapeutic potential to alleviate hepatic I/R injury.
