چکیده مقاله :
گوجهفرنگی یکی از محصولات عمده کشاورزی در ردهی محصولات زراعی است که در بسیاری از کشورهای جهان و همچنین ایران از جنبههای مختلف دارای اهمیت میباشد. در این تحقیق تحت تنش سرما به بیان ژن SlNCED1در مسیر بیوسنتز هورمون آبسیزیک اسید به روش Real-Time qRT-PCR و اندازهگیری برخی خواص فیزیولوژیکی پرداخته شده است. بدینمنظور پس از میوهدهی، بوتهها بهمدت 12 و 24 ساعت در دمای 2 و 4 درجه سانتیگراد قرار گرفتند. پس از این مدت میوهها جهت سنجش آنتی اکسیدانهای غیرآنزیمی به روش DPPD و فنل کل به روش فولین سیکالتو و بیان ژن جدا شدند. نتایج حاکی از آن بود که بیشترین میزان بیان ژن SlNCED1مربوط به دمای 4 درجه بهترتیب در ساعات 24 و12 بود. همچنین نتایج آنالیز مقایسه میانگین نشان داد که فعالیت معنی دار آنتی اکسیدان وفنل کل در دمای 2درجه و 12 ساعت اتفاق افتاد. بهطورکلی میتوان گفت که از آنجایی که گوجه فرنگی رد کلود متعلق به نواحی گرمسیری است لذا در دماهای پایینتر از 12 درجه سانتیگراد دچار تنش سرمایی شده و متعاقب آن تغییرات بیان ژنها و آنتی اکسیدانها را جهت حفاظت از خود در برابر تنش ایجاد میکند.
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicom L.) a main agricultural crops that is important in most countries including Iran. In this study, we investigated the SlNCED1 gene expression of biosynthetic Abscisic acid pathway by Real Time qRT-PCR and measured some of the physiological characteristics under cold stress. After fruiting, plants were placed under 2° and 4° C temperatures for 12 and 24 hours. Then, the fruits were collected for gene expression and measuring non-enzymatic antioxidant by DPPH and total phenols by Folin Ciocalteo. Results showed that the fruits at 4° C for 24 and 12 hours had more gene expression compared to other treatments. Also, non-enzymatic and total phenols had increased significantly at 2° C for 12 hours. Generally, since tomato Red Cloud cultivar belongs to tropical region, at temperatures below 12° C it is influenced by cold stress and, subsequently, it makes changes in gene expression and antioxidants to protect itself against stress.
