摘要
This paper summarized the possible physiological mechanism by which anthocyanins strengthen the tolerance of plants to drought. Drought stress can in-duce plant cel s to synthesize and accumulate anthocyanins. The photochemical properties, subcel ular accumulation sites and spatial distributions in plant organs and tissues of anthocyanins determine their function of strengthening plant tolerance, which is realized by three possible physiological mechanisms： （1） anthocyanins and their chelated metal ions can optimize the osmoregulation ability of the plant cel s by directly acting as the osmoregulation substances of the cel s, （2） anthocyanins with suitable spatial locations can reduce the photoinhibition of the plants under drought stresses, （3） anthocyanins can effectively maintain and improve the active oxygen-scavenging capacity of the plant cel s under drought conditions. Therein, that the anthocyanins enhance the antioxidant capacity of the plant cel s under drought stresses is probably the main reason for the anthocyanins to strengthen the drought tolerance of plants. This review could provide a reference for the mechanism re-search of the drought resistance and the breeding of the drought-resistant cultivars for the plants holding the ability to synthesize and accumulate anthocyanins.
综述了花色苷提高植物耐旱性的可能生理机制。干旱胁迫可诱导植物细胞合成和积累花色苷。花色苷的光化学性质、亚细胞积累位点及其在植物器官、组织中的空间分布决定了花色苷能强化植物的耐旱性,其生理机制可能涉及3个方面,即:花色苷本身及其螯合的金属离子可直接通过充当植物细胞的渗透调节物质而优化细胞的渗透调节能力;恰当空间定位的花色苷能减轻植物在干旱胁迫下的光抑制、花色苷可有效维持并强化植物细胞在干旱条件下的活性氧清除能力。其中,花色苷提高植物细胞在干旱胁迫下的抗氧化能力可能是花色苷强化植物耐旱性的主要原因。该研究可为具花色苷合成和积累能力植物的抗旱机理探究和抗旱品种的培育提供参考。
