فرآیندها و کارکردهای ژنوتیپ‌های عدس (.lens culinaris medik) در مقابله با تنش یخ‌زدگی

در این مطالعه ویژگی‌های فیزیولوژیک موثر در تحمل به یخ‌زدگی ژنوتیپ‌‌های عدس، به‌صورت فاکتوریل در قالب طرح کاملاً تصادفی با سه تکرار در شرایط کنترل‌شده در دانشگاه فردوسی مشهد در سال 1397 بررسی شد. عوامل موردمطالعه شامل 20 ژنوتیپ عدس و سه دمای یخ‌زدگی (صفر، 18- و 20- درجه سانتی‌گراد) بودند. نتایج نشان داد که 14 ژنوتیپ در دمای 18- درجه سانتی‌گراد دارای 100 درصد بقاء بودند و در دمای 20- درجه سانتی‌گراد تمامی ژنوتیپ‌ها از بین رفتند. تجزیه خوشه‌ای براساس صفات مورد مطالعه ژنوتیپ‌ها را به چهار گروه تقسیم نمود. درصد بقاء در گروه‌های اول، دوم و چهارم نسبت به میانگین کل برتری داشت. ژنوتیپ‌های متعلق به گروه‌های اول (mlc84، mlc407،mlc454 ) و دوم (mlc38،mlc303 ،mlc74 ،mlc334 ) ازنظر فعالیت آنتی‌اکسیدانی، غلظت متابولیت‌ها، رنگ‌دانه‌ها، ارتفاع بوته، سطح برگ و وزن خشک دارای برتری نسبی در مقایسه با سایر گروه‌ها بودند. تجزیه به مولفه‌های اصلی (pca) نشان داد که مولفه اول 32.77 درصد از تغییرات صفات شامل کارایی مصرف آب، کاروتنوئیدها، کلروفیل a/b، هدایت مزوفیلی، فتوسنتز، درصد بقاء، ارتفاع بوته، سطح برگ و وزن خشک را دارا بود و مولفه دوم تغییرات غلظت کلروفیل‌های a و b، کل رنگ‌دانه‌ها، کربوهیدرات‌های محلول، مهار فعالیت رادیکال آزاد dpph، فنول، آنتوسیانین، پتانسیل اسمزی، تبخیر و تعرق و هدایت روزنه‌ای را با 16.31 درصد توضیح داد. ژنوتیپ‌های mlc74، mlc334، mlc11، mlc84، mlc454 و mlc407 ازنظر ظرفیت آنتی‌اکسیدانی و متابولیت‌ها و ژنوتیپ‌های mlc303، mlc17، mlc38، mlc286 و mlc469 ازنظر درصد بقاء و رشد مجدد از وضعیت مطلوبی برخوردار بودند. به‌طور‌کلی بر اساس نتایج تجزیه خوشه‌ای و pca، این ژنوتیپ‌ها دارای برتری نسبی در اکثر صفات موردمطالعه بوده و برای بررسی تکمیلی تحمل به یخ‌زدگی در شرایط مزرعه در مناطق سرد توصیه می‌گردند.

Physiology of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) genotypes against freezing stress

IntroductionLentil is usually sowned in late winter and early spring. In this conditions, flowering and seed filling stage usually coincide with late drought stress and high temperature which reduce seed yield. Therefore, supplemental irrigation at the end of the growth season is necessary to overcome this problem. But since in Iran, lentil is mostly cultivated as a rainfed crop in mountain areas and slopes, supplemental irrigation is impossible. By autumn cultivation, plant maturity could be accelerated and higher efficiency of precipitation use, coincidence of growth stages with favorable weather conditions and finally increasing plant height and yield could be achieved. On the other hand, autumn cultivation exposes the plants to sever winter coldness; so, using freezing tolerant cultivars is necessary. The aim of the present study was to identify the role of antioxidants and physiological parameters in improving the cold tolerance of lentil genotypes in controlled conditions.Materials and methodsThe study was conducted in autumn and winter of 2018 in research greenhouse of research center for plant sciences, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran. the experiment was conducted as factorial based on completely randomized design with three replications in controlled conditions. Experimental factors were consisted of 20 lentil genotypes and three freezing temperatures (0, 18 and 20⁰C). Seeds were sown in October and Seedlings were kept in a natural environment for four months and then were transferred to a thermogradiant freezer. Gas exchange parameters (photosynthesis rate, evapotranspiration, substomatal CO2 concentration, stomatal and mesophilic conductance) as well as water use efficiency, relative water content of leaf, photosynthetic pigments, DPPH radical scavenging activity, Anthocyanin, total phenol and soluble carbohydrates were measured before the plants were exposed to freezing temperatures. Survival percentage, plant height, leaf area and plant dry weight were measured four weeks after freezing stress. Lethal temperature 50% of plants according to the survival percentage (LT50su), Reduced temperature 50% of height plant (HT50), Reduced temperature 50% of leaf area (RLAT50) and Reduced temperature 50% of dry matter (RDMT50) were also determined.ResultsResults indicated that in 18⁰C, 14 genotypes had 100% survival while in 20⁰C, all the genotypes were killed. Based on the studied parameters, lentil genotypes were divided in four groups by cluster analysis. Survival percentage in first, second and fourth group was superior compared to the total average. According to the antioxidant activity, metabolites and pigments concentration, plant height, leaf area and dry weight, genotypes in the first (MLC84, MLC407, MLC454) and second (MLC38, MLC303, MLC74, MLC334) groups were relatively superior compared to the other groups. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the first component explained 32.77% of changes in water use efficiency, carotenoids, chlorophyll a/b ratio, mesophilic conductance, photosynthesis, survival percentage, plant height, leaf area and dry weight while the second component explained 16.31% of changes in the concentration of chlorophylls a and b, total pigments, soluble carbohydrates, DPPH radical scavenging activity, phenol, anthocyanin, osmotic potential, evapotranspiration and stomatal conduction. Genotypes of MLC74, MLC334, MLC11, MLC84, MLC454 and MLC407 were better in terms of antioxidant capacity and metabolites and MLC303, MLC17, MLC38, MLC286and MLC469 were superior according to the survival percentage and regrowth.ConclusionThe correlation between concentration of chlorophyll b, carotenoids and photosynthesis rate with survival percentage showed that these traits are suitable indicators for determining cold tolerance of lentil genotypes before exposing to freezing stress. Results of cluster analysis and group mean comparison also indicated the relative superiority of MLC84, MLC407, MLC454 and second MLC38, MLC303, MLC74, MLC334 in most studied parameters. Generally, these genotypes are recommended to be used for complementary studies of freezing tolerance in field conditions in cold regions.
