快中子照射唐菖蒲球茎的损伤作用初探

用快中子脉冲堆(China fast burst reactor Ⅱ,CFBR-Ⅱ)对唐菖蒲"超级"球茎进行不同剂量的照射处理,研究快中子对唐菖蒲球茎表面的刻蚀情况及对蛋白质表达的阻遏作用.扫描电镜观察发现球茎受损伤情况随照射剂量和照射角度的不同而变化,受垂直方向照射的球茎表面刻蚀程度最严重,且刻蚀程度随着剂量增大而增大.通过田间栽培试验和SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis,SDS-PAGE)分析发现,随照射剂量的增大,植株生长发育受到明显的抑制,蛋白表达数量显著减少.由此表明,快中子照射对植株能产生明显的影响.

Damages to gladiolu corm caused by fast neutron irradiation

Gladiolus corms were irradiated to 100-500kGy by fast neutrons in the CFBR-II pulsed reactor, Scanning electron microscope images of the irradiated samples revealed significant radiation damages to the gladiolus corms, and the mutagenic effects were studied by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Within the dose range, radiation damage to the corm increased with the dose, with corm epidermis of the samples irradiated in vertical incidence being more serious than those irradiated in side-incidence to the same dose. Biological characters were investigated via field experiments, and the bands of protein subunit were analyzed by SDS-PAGE. The results showed that the fast neutrons irradiation inhibited growth of M1 generation seedling significantly. Protein expression was obviously inhibited by the irradiation. The study indicates that fast neutron induction is an effective way for gladiolus breeding. And the results may lay a foundation for studies on fast neutron mutation breeding.
