Nitrogen Utilization in N-limited Barley During Vegetative and Generative Growth: IV. TRANSLOCATION AND REMOBILIZATION OF NITROGEN 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L., cvs Golf and Laevigatum) was grownunder nitrogen limitation in solution culture until near maturity.Three different nitrogen addition regimes were used: in theHN culture, the relative rate of nitrate-N additionwas 0·08 d1 until day 48 and then stepwise decreasedto, finally, 0·005 d1 during late grain-filling;the LN culture received 45% of the nitrogen addedin HN; the CN culture was maintained at RA 0·0375d1 throughout growth. At four different growth stages(vegetative,anthesis, and twice during grain-filling), 15N-nitrate was fedto the plants. In some cases (split root cultures),label was fed only to one-half of the root system. These wereharvested directly after labelling, whereas standardcultured plants were harvested at termination of theexperiment (day 148). Absorption of added nitrate was nearlycomplete in the HN and LN cultures, and translocation of nitrogenwithin the plants could thus be studied independently of differencesin nitrate absorption. Cycling of nitrogen absorbed by vegetativeplants accounted for up to 50% of the nitrogen recovered inthe roots. The sink strength of the roots for cycling nitrogen,however, declined during post-anthesis growth, and net lossof nitrogen from both roots and vegetative shoot tissue occurredconcomitantly with incorporation of labelled 15N-nitrogen. Thenitrogen of the vegetative shoot tissue was substantially lesslabelled than the nitrogen entering the ears, indicating thattranslocation of recently absorbed nitrogen to ears occurs withminor prior exchange with the bulk nitrogen of shoots. In caseswhere the sink strength of the ears was weak, as in LN-culturedLaevigatum (due to high frequency of sterile flowers) and inCN-cultured Golf, nitrogen translocated from roots appearedto be incorporated into the vegetative shoot tissue. There werealso indications that a fraction of the remobilized nitrogenwas actually lost from the plants in these cases. It is concludedthat the root remains efficient in translocation of nitrogento the aerial parts throughout ontogeny and that nitrogen takenup during grainfilling is preferentially directly translocatedto the developing grains. The further translocation of nitrogenreceived by vegetative shoot parts to ears appears mainly relatedto the potential of the ear to accumulate nitrogen. Nitrogenabsorbed/remobilized in excess of the sink strength of the earsis either invested in continued shoot growth, or is irreversiblylost from the plants.

Growth and nitrate uptake kinetics in vegetatively growing barley(Hordeum vulgare L., cvs Laevigatum, Golf, and Mette) were investigatedin solution culture under long-term limitations of externalnitrogen availability. Nitrate was fed to the cultures at relativeaddition rates (RA) ranging from 0.02 to 0.2 d1. Therelative growth rate (RG, calculated for total plant dry weight)correlated well with RA in the range 0.02 to 0.07 d1.In the RA range from 0.07 to 0.2 d1 RG continued to increase,but an increasing fraction of nitrogen, added and absorbed,was apparently stored rather than used for structural growth.The RG of the roots was less affected by RA. Vmax, for net nitrateuptake increased with RA up to 0.11 d1, but decreasedat higher RA. The decline in Vmax coincided with a build-upof nitrate stores in both roots and shoots. Vmax, expressedper unit nitrogen in the plants (the relative Vmax, was higherthan required for maintenance of growth (up to 30-fold) at lowRA, whereas at higher RA the relative Vmax decreased. Kineticpredictions of steady-state external nitrate concentrationsduring N-limited growth ranged from 0.2 to 5.0 mmol m3over the RG range 0.02 to 0.11 d1. It is suggested thatthe nitrate uptake system is not under specific regulation atlow RA, but co-ordinated with root protein synthesis and growthin general. At RA higher than 0.11 d1, however, specificregulation of nitrate uptake, possibly via root nitrate pools,become important. The three cultivars showed very similar growthand nitrate uptake characteristics. Key words: Barley, growth, nitrogen limitation, nitrate uptake, kinetics 相似文献

Growth of barley (Hordeum vulgare L., cvs Golf, Mette, and Laevigatum)under N-limitation was investigated in solution culture, withspecial emphasis on the generative growth stage. Three differentregimes for limiting nitrate-N availability while keeping otherelements in surplus were employed. In the high, decreasingnitrogen (HN) treatment, the relative nitrogen additionrate (RA) was maintained at 0.08 d1 until the ears startedto develop and was then decreased stepwise to, finally, RA 0·005d1. In the low, decreasing nitrogen (LN)treatment, plants received 45% of the nitrogen added in HN.In the constant nitrogen (CN) treatment, RA washeld constant at 0·0375 d1. Cumulative nitrogenadditions at termination of the experiment (day 147 after sowing)were 192, 179 and 87 mg plant1 for HN, CN, and LN cultures,respectively. Nitrogen availability limited nitrogen acquisitionin all treatments except in the CN culture at plant ages above110 d. Stepwise decrease of RA largely synchronized transitionsin developmental stages in the different cultivars and nitrogenregimes (HN and LN), and eventually yielded plants that wereclose to completing their life cycle. Normal maturation wasnot obtained in the CN treatment. The HN and LN treatments wereused for formal analysis of post-anthesis growth. A sigmoidfunction was fitted to growth data and from this, organ weightsand nitrogen concentrations at maturity (defined as cessationof growth) were derived. The two modern cultivars, Golf andMette, clearly outperformed the more primitive cv. Laevigatumin terms of allocation of nitrogen to ears, particularly inthe LN culture. The stepwise decrease of RA appears suitablefor studies of post-anthesis growth and nitrogen relations inbarley, with regard to both genotypic variation and variationcaused by differences in cumulative amounts of nitrogen added.

Nitrogen-13 Studies of Nitrate Fluxes in Barley Roots: II. EFFECT OF PLANT N-STATUS ON THE KINETIC PARAMETERS OF NITRATE INFLUX 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Influx of nitrate into the roots of intact barley plants wasfollowed over periods of 115 min using nitrogen-13 asa tracer. Based on measurements taken over 15 min from a rangeof external nitrate concentrations (0·2250 mmolm3), the kinetic parameters of influx, Imax and Km, werecalculated. Compared with plants grown in the presence of nitrate throughout,plants that had been starved of N for 3 d showed a significantlygreater value ofImax for 13N-nitrate influx (by a factor of1·41·8), but a similar value of Km (1214mmol m3). Pre-treating N-starved plants with nitratefor about 5 h further increased the subsequent rate of 13N-nitrateinflux, but had little effect in the unstarved controls. Allowingfor this induction of additional nitrate transport, the differencein rates of nitrate influx in control and N-starved plants wassufficient to account for the previously-observed differencein net uptake by the two groups of plants. In barley plants grown without any exposure to nitrate, butwith ammonium as N-source, both Imax and Km for subsequent 13N-nitrateinflux were significantly decreased (by about one-half) comparedwith the corresponding nitrate-grown controls. The importance of changes in the rate of influx in the regulationof net uptake of nitrate is discussed. Key words: Ion transport, nitrate, influx, kinetic parameters, N-deficiency 相似文献

Imsande, J. 1986. Inhibition of nodule development in soybeanby nitrate or reduced nitrogen.J. exp. Bot. 37: 348355. Nodulation of hydroponically grown soybean plants [Glycine max(L.) Merr.] is inhibited by continuous growth in the presenceof 4· mol m3 KNO3 The presence of 4·0 molm3 starter nitrate for 3-6 d during noduledevelopment, however, subsequently stimulates nodule dry weightaccumulation and nitrogenase activity. These stimulations occureven though 4· mol m3 nitrate temporarily delaysnodule development, i.e. the late steps of nodule developmentare reversibly inhibited by a short-term exposure to 4·0mol m3 nitrate. On the other hand, treatment with 4·0mol m3 nitrate in excess of 14 d significantly reducesnodule dry weight Thus, extended growth in the presence of 4·0mol m3 KNO3 seems to block both early and late stepsof nodule development. Nodulation of hydroponically grown soybeansis also inhibited by continuous growth in the presence of 2·0mol m3 (NH4)2SO4 This inhibition is not caused by acidityof the growth medium. On the other hand, nodule development6 d after inoculation with Rhizoblum japonicum is not delayedby a 7-d exposure to 2·0 mol m3 (NH4)2SO4 butis partially inhibited by a prolonged exposure to (NH4)2SO4Because repression of nodulation by 4·0 mol m3KNO3 is more severe than that by 2·0 mol m3 (NH4)2SO4and because ammonium taken up by the soybean plant is not activelyoxidized to nitrate, it is suggested that there are at leasttwo mechanisms by which nitrate utilization represses noduleformation in soybean.

Imsande, J. 1986. Nitrate-ammonium ratio required for pH homeostasisin hydroponically grown soybean.J. exp. Bot. 37: 341347. Plant acid-base homeostasis is achieved when the mmoles of hydroxylions produced in the plant equal the mmoles of protons. Reductionof nitrate to ammonia is the major source of hydroxyl ions whereasammonium uptake-assimilation and the metabolism of neutral sugarsto organic acids are the primary sources of protons. Soybean[Glycine max (L.) Merr plants were grown hydroponically on mediumsupplemented with 3·0 mol m3 nitrogen providedas various combinations of KNO3 and NH4NO3 Plant growth consumedessentially all available nitrogen in each case; however, onlyin flasks supplemented with approximately 1·8 minolesof KNO3 plus 0·6 mmole of NH4NO3 was the pH of the mediumunchanged. Thus, for every mmole of nitrogen assimilated, approximately0·6 mmole of dissociable protons must have been producedby the conversion of neutral sugars to carboxylic acids. Also,it was shown that a plant obtaining all of its nitrogen fromnitrate must neutralize or excrete approximately 0·5mmole of hydroxyl ion d1. Conversely, the plant derivingall of its nitrogen from dinitrogen must excrete or neutralizeat least 0·8 mmole of hydrogen ion d1 whereasthe plant deriving all of its nitrogen from aminonium must excreteor neutralize approximately 2·1 mmoles of hydrogen iond1. Nevertheless, plants grown on medium supplementedwith 2·4 mol m1 nitrate plus 0·6 mol m3ammonium did not achieve a higher growth rate than plants grownon 3·0 mol m3 nitrate.

A microsomal flavonoid 3'-hydroxylase (F3'H) catalyzing themetabolism of naringenin to eriodictyol in Citrus sinensis (L.)Osbeck cv. Hamlin cell suspension cultures wasshown to be a cytochrome P450 enzyme. This reaction requiredO2 and NADPH and was inhibited by CO, with partial reversalof CO-inhibition by light at 450 nm. Cytochrome P450 contentranged from 1020 pmol (mg microsomal protein)1.The F3'H reaction was shown to be linear in regard to proteinconcentration between 2.5 and 25 µg of microsomal protein.The optimum pH for the reaction was 7.47.6 and the temperatureoptimum was between 30 and 37°C. The apparent Km and Vmaxfor naringenin were 24 µM±3.2 and 81.4±7.9pmol eriodictyol min1 (mg protein)1, respectively.The microsomal F3'H was also capable of forming dihydroquercetinfrom dihydrokaempferol (40 pmol min1 (mg protein)1)and of quercetin from kaempferol (3.25 pmol min1 (mgprotein1). Cytochrome c and ketoconazole were the bestinhibitors of WH activity followed by piperonyl butoxide anda-naphthoflavone. Light was shown to be an inducer of the F3'Halmost doubling the specific activity and increasing the microsomalcytochrome P450 content by 30% over that of dark grown cells.F3'H activity was also confirmed in microsomal preparationsof young (new flush) leaves from Hamlin treesand flavedo of Hamlin oranges, Marshgrapefruit, and Lisbon lemon. No activity wasobserved in older, hardened leaves and albedo of all the fruittested. Initiation of embryogenesis in the Hamlincell suspension cultures by switching from a sucrose mediumto a glycerol-based medium resulted in the down-regulation ofF3'H.

Occurrence of mycosporine-like amino acids in the red-tide dinoflagellate Alexandrium excavatum: UV-photoprotective compounds? 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Water extracts of the red-tide dinoflagellate Alexandrium excavatumgrown at high light intensity (200 µE m2s1) show a broad absorbance maximum in the UV regionof the spectrum (310360 nm). Using TLC and reverse-phaseHPLC a series of mycosporine-like amino acids have been characterized:mycosporine-glycine (max = 310 nm), palythine (max = 320 nm),asterina-330 (max = 330 nm), shinorine (max = 334 nm), porphyra-334(max= 334 nm), palythenic acid (max = 337 nm) and the isomericmixture of usujirene and palythene (max = 359 nm). From theobserved spectral changes during transference from low(20 µE m2 s1) to high (200µE m2 s1) light intensities and vice versa,the series of compounds are supposed to be biogenically relatedto one another. The presence of these compounds in A.excavatumis discussed in relation to their possible role in the photoprotectionto deleterious UV radiation. 相似文献

The effect of the leafless mutation (in whichtendrils replace leaflets and the stipules are reduced to avestigial form) upon foliage area, photosynthetic net CO2 uptakepotential, dry matter production and seed yield in Pisum sativumwas studied by comparing two near-isogenic lines of genotypeafafstst and ++++. The mutation is of potential agronomic valuein that it offers improved lodging resistance, crop drying andharvester throughput. In the conventional phenotype the total foliage area of themain axis attained a plateau (456 cm2) at day 56 from seedlingemergence, whereas corresponding values for the leaflessmutant showed a total area of 208 cm2 at day 68 with no indicationof a plateau. The agronomic consequence of this is discussed.During the vegetative phase of the plant the maximum CO2 uptakepotential in the fully expanded conventional leaf was 8·5mg CO2 leaf1 h1 and in the leaflessmutant this value was 7·0 mg CO2 leaf1 h1.For most leaves of the latter phenotype this valuewas between 30 and 60 per cent less than for their conventionalcounterpart. There was a consistently higher photosyntheticpotential per unit area in tendrils of the leaflessmutant than in leaflets of the conventional phenotype. The respectivemean specific values for the two phenotypes were 53 and 37 mgCO2 dm2 h1. The problem of obtaining a meaningfulsurface area value for tendrils is discussed and the cylindricalnature of tendrils is taken into account. The leafless mutant consistently accumulated 50per cent less dry matter than did conventional plants in theperiod from seedling emergence to anthesis and yield of maturedry seed per plant showed a reduction of 50 per cent both inseed number and total seed weight. The implications for future breeding and selection programmesaimed at haulm reduction are discussed in relation to evaluatingthe ability of the background genotype to produce adequate tendrilsin the presence of afafstst.

Two approaches to quantifying relationships between nutrientsupply and plant growth were compared with respect to growth,partitioning, uptake and assimilation of NO3 by non-nodulatedpea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Marma). Plants grown in flowing solutionculture were supplied with NO3 at relative addition rates(RAR) of 0·03, 0·06, 0·12, and 0·18d1, or constant external concentrations ([NO3)of 3, 10, 20, and 100 mmol m3 over 19 d. Following acclimation,relative growth rates (RGR)approached the corresponding RARbetween 0·030.12 d-1, although growth was notlimited by N supply at RAR =0.18 d-1. Growth rates showed littlechange with [NO3] between 10100 mmol m3(RGR=0·15 0·16 d-1). The absence of growthlimitation over this range was suggested by high unit absorptionrates of NO3, accumulation of NO3 in tissues andprogressive increases in shoot: root ratio. Rates of net uptakeof NO3 from 1 mol m3 solutions were assessed relativeto the growth-related requirement for NO3, showing thatthe relative uptake capacity increased with RGR between 0·030·06d1 , but decreased thereafter to a theoretical minimumvalue at RGR 相似文献

Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) roots maintain nutrient uptake capacity under water stress 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Phosphorus and nitrogen uptake capacities were assessed during3658 d drying cycles to determine whether the abilityof sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) to absorb these nutrientschanged as the roots were subjected to increasing levels ofwater stress. Water was withheld from mature plants in large(6 I) containers and the uptake capacity of excised roots insolution was determined as soil water potentials decreased from0.03 MPa to 5.0 MPa. Phosphorus uptake rates of excised roots at given substrateconcentrations increased as preharvest soil water potentialsdecreased to 5.0 MPa. Vmax and Km also increased as soilwater potentials declined. Declining soil water potentials depressednitrogen uptake at set substrate concentrations, but uptakecapacity, calculated as the sum Vmax for both NH+4+NO3,did not change significantly with drying. The sum Vmax correlatedwith root nitrogen concentration. Root uptake capacity for nitrogen and phosphorus was extremelystable under severe water stress in this aridland shrub. Maintenanceof uptake capacity, coupled with a previously demonstrated abilityto conduct hydraulic lift, may enable A. tridentata better tomaintain nitrogen and phosphorus uptake as soil water availabilitydeclines. These mechanisms may be important in the ability ofA. tridentata to maintain growth, complete reproduction, andgain an advantage against competitors late in the season whenthe soil layers with higher nutrient availability are dry.

Interaction between Nitrogen Deficit of a Plant and Nitrogen Content in the Old Leaves 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
We examined changes in nitrogen content of the first leavesin relation to growth and nitrogen status of sunflower (Helianthusannuus L.) plants that were raised hydroponically at two irradiancelevels (high and low light, HL and LL) and at two nitrogen concentrations(high and low nitrogen, HN and LN). Initial increases in totaldry mass and total nitrogen of the whole plant were faster inHL-plants than in LL-plants irrespective of nitrogen supply,but in LN-plants the increase in total nitrogen was soon blunted.When plants grown under the same irradiance were compared, nitrogencontent of the first leaves (leaf N) decreased faster in LN-plantsthan in HN-plants, while for the plants grown at the same nitrogenconcentrations, it decreased faster in HL-plants than in LL-plants.Since these changes in leaf N were not explained solely by thechanges in plant dry mass or plant nitrogen, we introduced anindex, nitrogen deficit (ND*), to quantify nitrogendeficit of the whole plant. ND* was expressed as ND*(t)=[NmaxN(t)]xDM(t),where Nmax and N(t) were nitrogen contents in the young, expandingleaves that had just unfolded to expand, at the initial stagewith sufficient nitrogen and at time t, respectively, and DM(t),plant dry mass at t. The decrease in leaf N was expressed asa liner function of ND* irrespective of the growth conditions,which indicates validity of this index. Limitation of the useof ND*, and mechanisms by which leaves sense nitrogen demandare also discussed. (Received June 17, 1996; Accepted August 30, 1996) 相似文献

Millhouse, J. and Strother, S. 1987. Further characteristicsof salt-dependent bicarbonate use by the seagrass Zostera muelleri.J.exp. Bot. 38: 10551068. The contribution of HCO3to photosynthetic O2 evolutionin the seagrass Zostera muelleri Irmisch ex Aschers. increasedwith increasing salinity of the bathing seawater when the inorganiccarbon concentration was kept constant. K1/2 (seawater salts)for HCO3 -dependent photosynthesis was 66% of seawatersalinity. Both short- and long-term pretreatment at low salinitiesstimulated photosynthesis in full strength seawater. Twentyfour hours pre-incubation of seagrass plants in 3·0 molm3 NaHCO3 resulted in increased photosynthesis at allsalinities, apparently due to stimulation of HCO3 use(K1/2 (seawater salts) = 26%). Vmax (HCO3) was not affectedby low salinity pretreatment. The kinetics of HCO3 stimulationby the major seawater cations was investigated. Ca2+ was themost effective cation with the highest Vmax (HCO3) andwith K1/2(Ca2+) = 14 mol m3. Mg2+ was also very effectiveat less than 50 mol m3 but higher concentrations wereinhibitory. This inhibition cannot be accounted for solely byprecipitation of MgCO3. Na+ and K+ were both capable of stimulatingHCO3 use. Stimulation was in two distinct parts. Up to500 mol m3, both citrate and chloride salts gave similarresults (K1/2(Na+) 81 mol m3, Vmax(HCO3) 0·26µmol O2 mg1 chl min1), but use of citratesalts above 500 mol m2 caused a second stimulation ofHCO3 use (K1/2(Na+) 830 mol m3, Vmax(HCO3)0·68 µmol O2 mg1 chl min1). Vmax(HCO3)for the second-phase Na+ or K+ stimulation was of the same orderas for Ca2+-stimulated HCO3 use. To further characterizesalt-dependent HCO3 use, the sensitivity of photosynthesisto Tris and TES buffers was investigated. The effects of Trisappear to be due to the action of Tris+ causing stimulationof HCO3 -dependent photosynthesis in the absence of salt,but inhibition of HCO3 use in saline media. TES has noeffect on photosynthesis. External carbonic anhydrase, althoughimplicated in salt-dependent HCO3 use in Z. muelleri,could not be detected in whole leaves.

Uptake of 13C and 15N (ammonium, nitrate and urea) by Microcystis in Lake Kasumigaura 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The uptake rate of carbon and nitrogen (ammonium, nitrate andurea) by the Microcystis predominating among phytoplankton wasinvestigated in the summer of 1984 in Takahamaira Bay of LakeKasumigaura. The Vmax values of Microcystis for nitrate (0.0250.046h1) and ammonium (0.150.17 h1) were considerablyhigher than other natural phytoplankton. The ammonium, nitrateand urea uptake by Microcystis was light dependent and was notinhibited with nigh light intensity. The K1 values were farlower than the Ik values. The carbon uptake was not influencedby nitrogen enrichment. Microcystis accelerated the uptake rateby changing Vmax/K s value when nitrogen versus carbon contentin cells declined. Nitrate was scarcely existent in TakahamairiBay during the summer, when Microcystis usually used ammoniumas the nitrogen source. However, the standing stock of ammoniumin the water was far lower than the daily ammonium uptake rates.Therefore, the ammonium in this water had to be supplied becauseof its rapid turn-over time (0.72.6 h). 相似文献

The Sensitivity of Net Photosynthesis in Several Plant Species to Short-term Fumigation with Sulphur Dioxide 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The effects of exposure of up to 2 h with sulphur dioxide ona range of plant species was observed by measuring changes inthe rate of net photosynthesis under closely controlled environmentalconditions. Ryegrass, Lolium perenne S23 was thespecies most sensitive to SO2; significant inhibition was detectedat 200 nl l1. Fumigations at 300 nl l1 also inhibitedphotosynthesis in field bean (Vicia faba cv. Three FoldWhite and Blaze) and in barley (Hordeumvulgare cv. Sonja). No effect was detected inwheat (Triticum aestivum cv. Virtue) at concentrationsup to 600 nl l1 SO2, or in oil-seed rape (Brassica napuscv. Rafal) except at 800 nl l1 SO2). Recoverycommenced immediately after the fumigation was terminated andwas complete within 2 h when inhibition had not exceeded 20%during the SO2 treatment.

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) varieties differed in their raponseto [K+]0, in terms of their utilization efficiencies (UE = freshweight. concentration of [K+]11). At low [K+]0, Compana,an efficient-non-responder demonstrated superior utilizationof absorbed K+. On the other hand, at high [K+]0, Fergus (anefficient responder) and BT 334 (an inefficient responder) hadhigher UE values for K+ than Compana which performed poorlyat this [K+]0. Kinetic parameters for K+ activation of the enzyme pyruvatekinase from 12 barley varieties, representing a range of UEvalues, were determined. Varieties showed substantial differencesin their Vmax values (P<0·01). Compana, an efficientvariety, had the highest Vmax (31 µmol g1 freshwt. h1) which was about 50% higher than that of Mingo,an inefficient variety. By contrast, Km values for the enzymeswere not significantly different among varieties The mean valuesfor all varieties (3·9±0·15 mol m3K+) is far below the estimated cytoplasmic [K+] (100-200 molm3). It is, therefore, unlikely that differences in theutilization of K+ by these varieties can be explained on thebasis of differential requirements for (K+) activation of theseenzymes. Alternative possibilities for differences in the utilizationof K+ are discussed. Key words: K+ utilization efficiency, Pyruvate kinase, Barley varieties 相似文献

We employed a glycogen-depleting session of exercise followed by a low-carbohydrate (CHO) diet to investigate modifications that occur in muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-cycling properties compared with low-CHO diet alone. SR properties were assessed in nine untrained males [peak aerobic power (O2 peak) = 43.6 ± 2.6 (SE) ml·kg1·min1] during prolonged cycle exercise to fatigue performed at 58% O2 peak after 4 days of low-CHO diet (Lo CHO) and after glycogen-depleting exercise plus 4 days of low-CHO (Ex+Lo CHO). Compared with Lo CHO, Ex+Lo CHO resulted in 12% lower (P < 0.05) resting maximal Ca2+-ATPase activity (Vmax = 174 ± 12 vs. 153 ± 10 µmol·g protein1·min1) and smaller reduction in Vmax induced during exercise. A similar effect was observed for Ca2+ uptake. The Hill coefficient, defined as slope of the relationship between cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration and Ca2+-ATPase activity, was higher (P < 0.05) at rest (2.07 ± 0.15 vs. 1.90 ± 0.10) with Ex+Lo CHO, an effect that persisted throughout the exercise. The coupling ratio, defined as the ratio of Ca2+ uptake to Vmax, was 2330% elevated (P < 0.05) at rest and during the first 60 min of exercise with Ex+Lo CHO. The 27 and 34% reductions (P < 0.05) in phase 1 and phase 2 Ca2+ release, respectively, observed during exercise with Lo CHO were not altered by Ex+Lo CHO. These results indicate that when prolonged exercise precedes a short-term Lo CHO diet, Ca2+ sequestration properties and efficiency are improved compared with those during Lo CHO alone. calcium cycling; vastus lateralis; contractile activity; glycogen; phosphorylation potential 相似文献

Acid phosphatase role in chickpea/maize intercropping 总被引:7,自引:1,他引:6
Background and aims Organic P comprises 3080 %of the total P in most agricultural soils. It has been proventhat chickpea facilitates P uptake from an organic P sourceby intercropped wheat. In this study, acid phosphatase excretedfrom chickpea roots is quantified and the contribution of acidphosphatase to the facilitation of P uptake by intercroppedmaize receiving phytate is examined. Methods For the first experiment using hydroponics, maize(Zea mays Zhongdan No. 2) and chickpea (Cicerarietinum Sona) were grown in either the sameor separate containers, and P was supplied as phytate, KH2PO4at 0·25 mmol P L1, or not at all. The second experimentinvolved soil culture with three types of root separation betweenthe two species: (1) plastic sheet, (2) nylon mesh, and (3)no barrier. Maize plants were grown in one compartment and chickpeain the other. Phosphorus was supplied as phytate, Ca(H2PO4)2at 50 mg P kg1, or no P added. Key results In the hydroponics study, the total P uptakeby intercropped maize supplied with phytate was 2·1-foldgreater than when it was grown as a monoculture. In the soilexperiment, when supplied with phytate, total P uptake by maizewith mesh barrier and without root barrier was 2·2 and1·5 times, respectively, as much as that with solid barrier.In both experiments, roots of both maize and chickpea suppliedwith phytate and no P secreted more acid phosphatase than thosewith KH2PO4 or Ca(H2PO4)2. However, average acid phosphataseactivity of chickpea roots supplied with phytate was 23-foldas much as maize. Soil acid phosphatase activity in the rhizosphereof chickpea was also significantly higher than maize regardlessof P sources. Conclusions Chickpea can mobilize organic P in both hydroponicand soil cultures, leading to an interspecific facilitationin utilization of organic P in maize/chickpea intercropping. 相似文献
