Effect of paclobutrazol on water stress-induced ethylene biosynthesis and polyamine accumulation in apple seedling leaves

Ethylene biosynthesis and polyamine content were determined in [(2RS,3RS)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)pentan-3-ol] (paclobutrazol) pre-treated and non-treated water-stressed apple seedling leaves. Paclobutrazol reduced water loss, and decreased endogenous putrescine spermidine content. Gibberellic acid (GA) counteracted the inhibitory effect of paclobutrazol on polyamine content. Paclobutrazol also prevented accumulation of water stress-induced 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), 1-(malonylamino)cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (MACC), ethylene production and polyamines in apple leaves. α-Difluoromethylarginine (DFMA), but not α-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), inhibited the rise of putrescine and spermidine in stressed leaves. S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM) was maintained at a steady state level even when ethylene and the polyamines were actively synthesized in stressed apple seedling leaves. The conversion of ACC to ethylene did not appear to be affected by paclobutrazol treatment.     

Translocation of paclobutrazol, a gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitor, in apple seedlings

The [(2RS,3RS)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1,2,4-triazol-1- yl)-pentan-3-ol] (paclobutrazol, PP333) measured in apple seedlings (`York Imperial' Malus domestica Borkh) was confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Data showed that paclobutrazol was taken up through roots and transported primarily in the xylem through the stems and accumulated in leaves. No detectable basipetal movement of paclobutrazol in apple seedlings was found.     

Relative efficacy of paclobutrazol, propiconazole and tetraconazole as stress protectants in wheat seedlings

The stress protective effects of triazoles including paclobutrazol, a plant growth regulator, and two fungicides, propiconazole and tetraconazole, are compared. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv Katepwa) seeds were imbibed for 18 h in distilled water (Ck) or in aqueous solutions of each triazole (50 mg L-1). Seeds were then air dried, planted in sectioned plastic flats and grown in a greenhouse. After 10 days, one set of seedlings were allowed to continue growing under optimal conditions while additional sets were exposed to various stresses including high temperatures, drought and spray with the herbicide paraquat. Compared to wheat leaves from plants grown under optimal conditions, heat stress decreased shoot fresh weight, fluorescence values and chlorophyll levels. It also increased ion leakage. All symptoms of damage were alleviated by the triazoles, with paclobutrazol being the most potent. Similar trends were found under acute drought conditions, where seedlings treated with paclobutrazol had the highest percent survival and the most shoot regrowth upon rewatering. Paclobutrazol was also the best triazole in protecting wheat leaves from damage caused by paraquat, a free radical generator. It is concluded that while all the triazoles have the potential to be stress protectants, paclobutrazol was consistently the most effective.     

Effect of polyamines on glutathione reductase activity in spinach

The effects of polyamines (putrescine, spermidine and spermine) on glutathione reductase (glutathione: NADP+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.8.1.7; GR) activity of spinach leaves (Spinacia oleracea L. cv. Gladiator) were investigated under in vivo and in vitro conditions. Spinach was grown in sand culture under controlled conditions for 30 d. In in vivo assays 30-day-old plants were sprayed with polyamines once, and leaves were harvested 1, 5, 10 and 15 d after treatment. The three polyamines decreased the GR activity to different degrees, depending on time after application, type of compound and their concentration. In order to study whether or not polyamines can exert a direct effect on GR, the enzyme was partially purified from spinach leaves and incubated with polyamines in the reaction medium. Under these in vitro conditions, GR was inhibited by polyamines in a polyamine type- and concentration-dependent manner. Interestingly, spermine exerted the most intense inhibitory effect in both in vivo and in vitro experiments. It is proposed that the early decrease of glutathione reductase activity in leaves treated with polyamines can be due to a direct interaction of these compounds with the enzyme.     

Effect of paclobutrazol and chilling on leaf membrane lipids in cucumber seedlings

The effects of paclobutrazol on the leaf membrane lipid composition of seedlings of cucumber ( Cucumis sativus L. cv. Victory) subjected to chilling temperatures were assessed. At a non-injurious temperature (12.5°C), there was no difference in the polar lipid fatty acid composition or in the glycolipid, phospholipid or free sterol content of leaves from treated vs untreated seedlings, regardless of whether paclobutrazol was administered 1 or 7 days prior to analysis. In the latter case (7 days pretreatment), there were clear effects of the bioregulator on plant growth and morphology as well as on leaf chlorophyll content. At an injurious chilling temperature (5°C), desaturation of leaf polar lipid fatty acids was markedly reduced in both treated and untreated seedlings. Chilling at 5°C resulted in losses of fresh weight and membrane lipids in leaves of both groups of plants. These losses were either reversible or irreversible, depending upon the duration of chilling and of pretreatment with paclobutrazol. Seedlings pretreated with 10 μg ml⁻¹ paclobutrazol generally sustained less chilling injury than untreated controls, as judged by the extent of wilting, necrosis and desiccation. This correlated with reduced losses of leaf fresh Weight and membrane lipids.     

The effects of exogenous polyamines on some biochemical changes during drought stress in Ctenanthe setosa (Rosc.) Eichler

Morphological and biochemical changes in plant cells are known as important events for adaptation to stress. In this study, in Ctenanthe setosa leaves to which polyamines were applied during drought stress, changes in the activity of peroxidase, reducing sugar, proline and soluble protein levels were investigated. The three common polyamines, putrescine, spermidine and spermine were exogenously treated through the leaves. The polyamines were sprayed onto the leaves at 5 x 10(-5) M. In the leaves to which polyamines were applied the peroxidase activity decreased, soluble protein increased. Also, it was determined that putrescine and spermidine caused an increase in the amount of proline and in reducing sugar. However, increase was not observed in the leaves to which spermine was applied. In addition, we observed an increase in the activity of peroxidase, proline and reducing sugar levels, and a decrease in soluble protein level in the control ones and the leaves to which polyamines were applied during drought stress. As a result, the effect of polyamine on leaf rolling may be explained through the contribution to osmotic adjustment of the increase in proline, reducing sugar and soluble protein contents.     

Controlling plant growth via the gibberellin biosynthesis system – II. Biochemical and physiological alterations in apple seedlings

Some physiological and biochemical changes in apple seedlings ( Malus domestica Borkh cv. 'York Imperial') caused by an inhibitor of gibberellin biosynthesis, paclobutrazol [(2RS, 3RS)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) pentan-3-ol], were determined. Paclobutrazol shifted assimilate partitioning from leaves to roots, increased carbohydrates in all parts of apple seedlings, increased chlorophyll content on a leaf area basis, increased soluble protein in leaves, increased mineral element concentration in leaf tissue and increased root respiration. Foliar application of gibberellic acid (GA₃) counteracted the effects induced by paclobutrazol.     

Changes of polyamines and ethylene in cucumber seedlings in response to chilling stress

Cucumber ( Cucumis sativus L. cv. Victory) seedlings were exposed to chilling at 5°C and endogenous levels of polyamines and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) were measured after chilling and after warming at 20°C. The level of spermidine was higher in the chilled seedlings than in the non-chilled seedlings. Treatment with a plant bioregulator, (2RS,3RS)-1-(4-cholorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)pentan-3-ol (paclobutrazol), reduced the chilling injury and the levels of spermidine in the chilled seedlings. The levels of ACC and production of ethylene showed sharp increases after warming following exposure to chilling. These increases were suppressed by the application of aminooxyacetic acid (AOA). However, AOA treatment did not reduce chilling injury or affect the levels of polyamines in the tissue. These data indicate that the increase in ACC and ethylene is a response of the tissue to the chilling exposure and is not a cause of the injury. The data also suggest that the syntheses of polyamines and ethylene are not competitive with each other even under chilling stress conditions.     

Control of development of amylolytic and proteolytic activities in cotyledons of germinating black gram seeds

The effect of polyamines and related metabolites on several parameters of leaf senescence was followed in detached radish ( Raphanus sativus L. var. radicular cv. "Giant Butter") leaves floated on test solutions in darkness. Leaf senescence was accompanied by a marked loss of chlorophyll, which started at 24–48 h of incubation. The polyamines, spermine and spermidine, and the diamines, putrescine and cadaverine, were highly effective in arresting chlorophyll loss over a period of at least 96 h. l -arginine, and especially l -ornithine, were less active. Polyaminens prevented the marked chlorophyll loss in dark-incubated leaves, but did not compensate for the moderate chlorophyll loss when the leaves were aged in light. Polyamines were also highly effective in retarding earlier events of leaf senescence, prior to chlorophyll loss: both protein degradation and ribonuclease activity were inhibited by spermidine. Chlorophyll and protein loss in dark-or light-incubated suspensions of either "intact" or disrupted chloroplasts was not affected by polyamines. – It is concluded that polyamines are highly effective in preventing chlorophyll loss from detached leaves, possibly by controlling early senescence-linked events which occur in darkness rather than by direct inhibition of chlorophyll degradation.
