外源胆固醇对离体原生质体在冰冻—化冻过程中的保护作用

在适宜浓度(0.1～0.4m mol/L)的胆固醇存在下,经冰冻处理的小麦叶肉原生质体在化冻后存活率均高于对照,其中以0.4m mol/L胆固醇对原生质体的保护效果最佳。胆固醇对卷心菜叶肉原生质体的抗冰冻能力具有类似效果。从而表明外源胆固醇与质膜结合后,对稳定质膜结构和保持正常功能具有一定的作用。     

细叶黄芪叶肉原生质体植株再生

从细叶黄芪(Astragalus tenuis)外植体愈伤组织分化出的再生苗叶片分离原生质体。原生质体培养在改良 K8p 培养基中形成了愈伤组织。增殖后的愈伤组织转入分化培养基中分化出苗。幼苗在生根培养基中长出不定根,再生成为完整植株。再生苗叶肉原生质体在 AY培养基中,种子无菌苗叶肉原生质体在改良 K8p 或 AY 培养基中均不能形成愈伤组织。较低的2,4-D 浓度有利于原生质体愈伤组织的形成和分化,过高的2,4-D 浓度对愈伤组织的形成和分化有不利的影响。

植物原生质体质膜表面电荷性质的研究——Ⅰ.pH及某些酶制剂对元麦叶肉原生质体电泳率的影响

用细胞电泳方法研究了pH 及胰蛋白酶,脂—蛋白脂酶、碱性磷酸酶等酶制剂对元麦叶肉原生质体电泳率的影响。结果表明,新鲜制备的元麦叶肉原生质体表面具负电性,但在低pH(<2.8)条件下其表面具正电荷;当pH>2.8时,其表面电性才由具正电性转变为具负电性。上述三种酶制剂处理原生质体后,均能改变原生质体的电泳率,随酶浓度增高均使原生质体的电泳速度减慢。文章并对所获得的结果在阐明质膜表面电荷的化学特性上的意义进行了讨论。     

茶树叶肉原生质体的分离与纯化

以茶树幼苗叶片为材料,分析了甘露醇浓度、不同酶液组合、酶解时间等因素对叶肉原生质体分离及2种高密度分离液对原生质体纯化的影响。结果表明,叶片在含0.6 mol/L的甘露醇、1.5%的纤维素酶和2.5%的离析酶的酶解液中黑暗酶解16~18 h,叶肉原生质体的分离效果最好。此外,研究发现原生质体在10%的甘露醇与25%的碘克沙醇界面处聚集形成了一条带。     

关于卅烷醇对农作物的增产效果问题

编辑同志: 近年来,报刊杂志、广播等宣传三十烷醇的文章和广告很多。多数认为三十烷醇对农作物具有增产效果,并说有的研究成果已通过了省市级鉴定。但最近《四川日报》(1985年5月13日)报道,由农牧渔业部组织中国农业科学院蔬菜研究所等十几个省级以上农业科研单位和大专院校参加的三十烷醇在农作物上应用效果的

紫云英叶片及叶肉原生质体的培养

本工作研究了豆科植物紫云英的叶片及叶肉原生质体的培养。叶片培养实验表明,诱导愈伤组织的最适培养基为MS加1.0-2.0毫克/升2,4-D和0.25毫克/升KT;诱导根分化需加1.0—5.0毫克/升NAA和0.5毫克/升BA;而苗分化则以0—0.5毫克/升IAA和0.5毫克/升BA为好。高浓度的NAA有利于根分化而抑制茎芽形成;高浓度的IAA对根和芽分化都有抑制作用。叶肉原生质体分离和培养试验表明,紫云英叶肉原生质体的释放及其培养活力受叶龄、植株生理状态和酶浓度的影响。叶肉原生质体在改良的KM8P培养基中能分裂。用改良KM8细胞培养基定期稀释,可使分裂持续进行而得到细胞团。BA和2,4-D为诱导紫云英叶肉原生质体分裂所必需。其最佳组合激素为BA 0.21毫克/升和2,4-D 1.13毫克/升。葡萄糖作为渗透压稳定剂时,其浓度明显影响原生质体的存活率。弱光条件下培养比黑暗培养有利于叶肉原生质体分裂。由叶肉原生质体形成的愈伤组织能形成瘤状结构和根。

甘蔗和烟草幼叶原生质体的核酸含量与核酸酶活性及其影响因素

与幼叶组织相比,酶法新鲜分离的甘蔗和烟草幼叶原生质体内的ＲＮＡ、ＤＮＡ及总核酸含量均降低。其原因可能是刚游离的原生质体内酸性和碱性ＲＮＡ酶与ＤＮＡ酶等活性提高所致。甘蔗叶原生质体内的核酸降低量和ＲＮＡ酶与ＤＮＡ酶活性的增加程度均高于烟草。随用作渗透压稳定剂的甘露醇浓度增加,甘蔗和烟草叶原生质体的ＲＮＡ酶和ＤＮＡ酶活性均相应提高。其中以甘蔗叶原生质体的核酸酶活性增加水平较明显。在细胞壁降解产物的作用下,除了甘蔗原生质体内的ＲＮＡ酶活性略被促进外,其ＤＮＡ酶和烟草叶原生质体内的核酸酶均不受影响

Plasmalemma hyperpolarity and culture of sense and antisenseabp transgenic tobacco protoplasts

The relationship among transfer and expression of auxin binding protein gene (abp), auxin (NAA)-induced plasmalemma hyperpolarity and sensibility to auxin during protoplast culture was studied by measuring transmembrane potential difference (Em) and culturing the protoplasts of sense and antisenseabp transgenic tobacco. The concentration of NAA inducing the highest degree of hyperpolarity of senseabp transgenic tobacco protoplasts was lower than the control, and in protoplast culture, their sensibility to auxin increased. The concentration of antisenseabp transgenic tobacco protoplasts was higher than the control, and in protoplast culture, their sensibility to auxin decreased. These results demonstrated that ABP synthesized in endoplasmic reticulum needed to transport to cell membrane and functioned there.

The relationship between xylem conduit diameter and cavitation caused by freezing

The centrifuge method for measuring the resistance of xylem to cavitation by water stress was modified to also account for any additional cavitation that might occur from a freeze-thaw cycle. A strong correlation was found between cavitation by freezing and mean conduit diameter. On the one extreme, a tracheid-bearing conifer and diffuse-porous angiosperms with small-diameter vessels (mean diameter <30 μm) showed no freezing-induced cavitation under modest water stress (xylem pressure = −0.5 MPa), whereas species with larger diameter vessels (mean >40 μm) were nearly completely cavitated under the same conditions. Species with intermediate mean diameters (30–40 μm) showed partial cavitation by freezing. These results are consistent with a critical diameter of 44 μm at or above which cavitation would occur by a freeze–thaw cycle at −0.5 MPa. As expected, vulnerability to cavitation by freezing was correlated with the hydraulic conductivity per stem transverse area. The results confirm and extend previous reports that small-diameter conduits are relatively resistant to cavitation by freezing. It appears that the centrifuge method, modified to include freeze–thaw cycles, may be useful in separating the interactive effects of xylem pressure and freezing on cavitation.     

Augmenting in vitro shoot multiplication by vipul (triacontanol) and adventitious rhizogenesis by rice bran extract in Dendrocalamus strictus

Like other bamboo species, Dendrocalamus strictus flowers gregariously after a prolonged intermast period of 48 years and constitutes an ideal material for in vitro clonal propagation. In this study, MS liquid medium containing 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mL/L vipul (Godrej Agrovet, Ltd., Sachin, India), a commercial formulation of triacontanol, with or without BA (3.0 mg/L) was tested for in vitro shoot multiplication and 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 mL/L of 20% (w/v) alcoholic/aqueous rice bran extract (alone or in combination) with NAA (3 mg/L) used for in vitro adventitious rhizogenesis in single node culture derived shoots of Dendrocalamus strictus.. After a multiplication cycle for 4-5 week, vipul (0.5 mL/L) with BA (3.0 mg/L) in the culture medium induced 4.59 fold shoot multiplication rate whereas application of BA and vipul alone had corresponding values of 3.29 and 0.53 fold respectively. Maximum vipul concentration (2 mL/L) with BA (3 mg/L) exhibited shoot multiplication higher than (or equal to) that of BA alone. Maximum in vitro rooting percentage (55.66%) was obtained on half MS medium enriched with alcoholic rice bran extract (2.5 mL/L) and NAA (3 mg/L). This is the first investigation reporting amelioration of in vitro shoot multiplication rate by triacontanol and rooting percentage by rice bran extract in explants from mature bamboo culms. The protocol is economical and rapid for in vitro clonal propagation of Dendrocalamus strictus.     

An Alternative Mode of Elimination of Resin from Epithelial Cells of Resin Ducts in Pinus sylvestris

The fine structure of resin secreting cells of the cortical resin ducts in stem of Pinus sylvestris Carr. was studied with the help of high pressure freezing and freeze-substitution techniques. An unprecedented mode of resin elimination was observed. It seems that the hydrolase-contained Golgi vesicles take part in the dissolution of plasmalemma, and a passage is formed, through which resin material may quickly pass outside of the protoplast. Then, the ruptured plasmalemma was repaired by some vesicles, possibly derived from Golgi bodies.     

An electron microscopic study of the initial stages of infection of isolated tomato fruit protoplasts by tobacco mosaic virus

Summary Protoplasts were isolated from tomato fruit locule tissue and incubated with tobacco mosaic virus. Electron microscope observations on sections of suitably fixed and embedded material revealed that virus particles readily became attached to the plasmalemma, particularly in small invaginations in the surface of the protoplast. Virus particles were later observed in vesicles within the cytoplasm and it was clear that these vesicles were being formed as a result of pinocytic activity at the surface of the protoplast. Later, virus particles were observed near the nucleus. It is suggested that an initial attachment of the virus to the plasmalemma followed by a pinocytic uptake may represent the initial stages of virus infection of plant cells and that the pinocytic vesicle, containing virus, serves as the vehicle of cellular infection.     

The Arrangement and Spacing of Sugarcane Planting Influence Root Distribution and Crop Yield

Change in the planting arrangement can provide roots a different environment that alters access to soil resources, which can subsequently impact the productivity of above ground crop compartments. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the sugarcane yield as well as the distribution and biomass accumulation of roots across different spacing configuration treatments, in the absence of the confounding effect of machine traffic between the crop rows, in two areas with contrasting soil conditions. Two experiments were conducted under field conditions, in clayey and sandy soil. The experiments were conducted across two crop seasons and incorporated a randomized block design that tested six planting configurations: CS, conventional spacing (1.50 m); AS, alternated spacing (0.90?×?1.50 m); TS, triple spacing (0.75?×?0.75?×?1.50 m); PP 1.0 m, precision planting (1.0?×?1.0 m); PP 0.75 m, precision planting (0.75?×?0.75 m); and PP 0.50 m, precision planting (0.5?×?0.5 m). Results showed, in clayey soil, higher sugarcane yield for the PP 0.75 m spacing in the two crops evaluated; while, the PP 1.0 m spacing had the higher production in sandy soil, but only during the first ratoon. In relation to the total sugarcane production per unit area, the yield gains from reduced spacing were most evident for the first two crop cycles. The distribution and root biomass accumulation of sugarcane did not explain the above ground productivity in planting configurations.
