八种红树植物幼苗的叶片可溶性蛋白和抗氧化酶活性对光强的响应

Abstract: The restoration and reconstruction of mangrove wetland ecosystems is one of the key research fields in ecological restoration in the coastal zones of South China. How to optimize the assembly of mangrove species is the priority to be concerned in the restoration and transformation of mangrove forest community. In order to reveal the physiological and ecological strategies to light conditions of mangrove plant species and provide theoretical guidance for optimal assembly of mangrove community structure, the characteristics of leaf total soluble protein content and activities of five antioxidant enzymes in seedlings of eight mangrove plant species (Sonneratia apetala, Kandelia candel, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Aegiceras corniculatum, Acanthus ilicifolius, Acrostichum aureum, Heritiera littoralis and Hibiscus tiliaceus) under different light intensities (100%, 45%, 30%, and 10% of natural sunlight) were studied using shading control experiment. The results were as follows: (1) Low light intensities had little impact on the leaf total soluble protein content of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Acanthus ilicifolius and Acrostichum aureum, whereas the other five species showed a decreasing trend in the leaf soluble protein content with the decline in light intensity. (2) The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) in the leaves of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Acanthus ilicifolius and Acrostichum aureum in 10% of natural light intensity were not significantly from control, while the other five mangrove species showed a decreasing trend in activities of all the five antioxidant enzymes. In conclusion, our results indicate that Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Acanthus ilicifolius and Acrostichum aureum are suitable for planting under the forest with high canopy density, while Sonneratia apetala, Kandelia candel, Aegiceras corniculatum, Heritiera littoralis, Hibiscus tiliaceus are suitable to be planted under forest with lower canopy density or planted as upper layer tree species in mangrove.
