Abstract

Premise

We developed a novel, cost-effective protocol that facilitates testing anoxia tolerance in plants without access to specialized equipment.

Methods and Results

Arabidopsis thaliana and barley (Hordeum vulgare) seedlings were treated in airtight 2-L Kilner jars. An anoxic atmosphere was generated using Oxoid AnaeroGen 2.5-L sachets placed on in-house, custom-built wire stands. The performed experiments confirmed a higher sensitivity to low oxygen stress previously observed in anac017 A. thaliana mutants and the positive effect of exogenous sucrose on anoxia tolerance reported by previous studies in A. thaliana. Barley seedlings displayed typical responses to anoxia treatment, including shoot growth cessation and the induction of marker genes for anaerobic metabolism and ethylene biosynthesis in root tissue.

Conclusions

The results validate the novel method as an inexpensive, simple alternative for testing anoxia tolerance in plants, where access to an anaerobic workstation is not possible. The novel protocol requires minimum investment and is easily adaptable.

研究植物耐缺氧性的一种简单而经济的方法

我们开发了一种新颖的，具有成本效益的方案，便于在没有专门设备的情况下测试植物的耐氧性。方法与结果拟南芥和大麦(Hordeum vulgare)幼苗在密闭的2-L Kilner罐中处理。在室内定制的金属支架上放置2.5 l的Oxoid AnaeroGen小袋，产生缺氧气氛。实验证实了先前在anac017拟南芥突变体中观察到的对低氧胁迫的更高敏感性，以及先前研究报道的外源蔗糖对拟南芥耐氧性的积极影响。大麦幼苗对缺氧处理表现出典型的反应，包括茎部生长停止以及根组织中厌氧代谢和乙烯生物合成标记基因的诱导。结果验证了这种新方法是一种廉价、简单的替代方法，可用于在无法获得厌氧工作站的植物中测试耐氧性。该协议投资最小，适应性强。

期刊介绍： Applications in Plant Sciences (APPS) is a monthly, peer-reviewed, open access journal promoting the rapid dissemination of newly developed, innovative tools and protocols in all areas of the plant sciences, including genetics, structure, function, development, evolution, systematics, and ecology. Given the rapid progress today in technology and its application in the plant sciences, the goal of APPS is to foster communication within the plant science community to advance scientific research. APPS is a publication of the Botanical Society of America, originating in 2009 as the American Journal of Botany''s online-only section, AJB Primer Notes & Protocols in the Plant Sciences. APPS publishes the following types of articles: (1) Protocol Notes describe new methods and technological advancements; (2) Genomic Resources Articles characterize the development and demonstrate the usefulness of newly developed genomic resources, including transcriptomes; (3) Software Notes detail new software applications; (4) Application Articles illustrate the application of a new protocol, method, or software application within the context of a larger study; (5) Review Articles evaluate available techniques, methods, or protocols; (6) Primer Notes report novel genetic markers with evidence of wide applicability.
