Screening of transposon-associated mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana for altered starch metabolism resulted in the isolation of a mutant that did not accumulate starch in any tissue or at any
developmental stage (starch-free mutant, stf1). Allelism tests with known mutants showed that stf1 represents a new mutant allele of the plastid isoform of the enzyme phosphoglucomutase (PGMp). The mutation was mapped to
chromosome 5. An Arabidopsis EST that showed significant homology to the cytosolic isoform of phosphoglucomutase (PGM) from maize was able to complement
the mutant phenotype. The Arabidopsis EST was transcribed and translated in vitro and the protein product was efficiently imported into isolated chloroplasts and
processed to its mature form. The lack of starch biosynthesis in stf1 is accompanied by the accumulation of soluble sugars. The rate of CO2 assimilation measured in individual leaves was substantially diminished only under conditions of high CO2 and low O2. Remarkably, stf1 exhibits an increase rather than a decrease in total leaf PGM activity, suggesting an induction of the cytosolic isoform(s)
in the mutant. The substrate for PGM, glucose 6-phosphate, accumulated in stf1 during the day, resulting in 10-fold higher content than in the wild type at the end of the photoperiod.

Plant culture in oxygen concentrations below ambient is known to stimulate vegetative growth, but apart from reports on increased leaf number and weight, little is known about development at subambient oxygen concentrations. Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. (cv. Columbia) plants were grown full term in pre-mixed atmospheres with oxygen partial pressures of 2·5, 5·1, 10·1, 16·2, and 21·3 kPa O2, 0·035 kPa CO2 and the balance nitrogen under continuous light. Fully expanded leaves were harvested and processed for light and transmission electron microscopy or for starch quantification. Growth in subambient oxygen concentrations caused changes in leaf anatomy (increased thickness, stomatal density and starch content) that have also been described for plants grown under carbon dioxide enrichment. However, at the lowest oxygen treatment (2·5 kPa), developmental changes occurred that could not be explained by changes in carbon budget caused by suppressed photorespiration, resulting in very thick leaves and a dwarf morphology. This study establishes the leaf parameters that change during growth under low O2, and identifies the lower concentration at which O2 limitation on transport and biosynthetic pathways detrimentally affects leaf development. 相似文献

A full-length cDNA clone encoding carbonic anhydrase was isolated from an Arabidopsis thaliana (Columbia) leaf library. Comparison of the derived amino acid sequence obtained from this clone with those of pea and spinach reveals a considerable degree of identity. The carbonic anhydrase cDNA was used to probe the level of RNA encoding this protein in the leaves of plants grown in elevated CO2 (660 ppm). We have found that under these conditions the steady-state level of carbonic anhydrase mRNA was increased in comparison with control plants grown in normal atmospheric concentrations of CO2 (330 ppm). This raises the intruiging possibility that there exists in higher plants a mechanism for perceiving and responding to changes in environmental CO2 concentrations at the genetic level. 相似文献

The photosynthetic linear electron transport rate in excess of that used for CO2 reduction was evaluated in Sorghum bicolor Moench. [NADP-malic enzyme (ME)-type C4 plant], Amaranthus cruentus L. (NAD-ME-type C4 plant) and Helianthus annuus L. (C3 plant) leaves at different CO2 and O2 concentrations. The electron transport rate (J
F) was calculated from fluorescence using the light partitioning factor (relative PSII cross-section) determined under conditions
where excess electron transport was assumed to be negligible: low light intensities, 500 μmol CO2 · mol−1 and 2% O2. Under high light intensities there was a large excess of J
F/4 at 10–100% O2 in the C3 plant due to photorespiration, but very little in sorghum and somewhat more in amaranth, showing that photorespiration is
suppressed, more in the NADP-ME- and less in the NAD-ME-type species. It is concluded that when C4 photosynthesis is limited by supply of atmospheric CO2 to the C4 cycle, the C3 cycle becomes limited by regeneration of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) which in turn limits RuBP oxygenase activity and
photorespiration. The rate of excess electron transport over that consumed for CO2 fixation in C4 plants was very sensitive to the presence of O2 in the gas phase, rapidly increasing between 0.01 and 0.1% O2, and at 2% O2 it was about two-thirds of that at 21% O2. This shows the importance of the Mehler O2 reduction as an electron sink, compared with photorespiration in C4 plants. However, the rate of the Mehler reaction is still too low to fully account for the extra ATP which is needed in C4 photosynthesis.

Cuttings of a single birch clone (Betula pendula) were grown in field fumigation chambers throughout the growing season in either filtered air (control) or 90/40 nl O3 l–1 (day/night). Both regimes were split into plants under high and low nutrient supply (macro- and micronutrients). The stomatal
density of leaves was increased by ozone but was lowered at high nutrition, while the inner air space was hardly affected
by the treatments. Ozone induced macroscopic leaf injury regardless of nutrition, but leaf shedding was delayed in the low-fertilized
plants, despite O3 uptake being similar to that in high-fertilized plants. The leaf turn-over was enhanced in the O3-exposed high-fertilized plants, but length growth and leaf formation of stems were not affected by ozone in either nutrient
regime. Leaves of high-fertilized plants showed O3-caused decline in photosynthetic capacity, water-use efficiency, apparent carbon uptake efficiency and quantum yield earlier
as compared with low-fertilized plants, whereas chlorophyll fluorescence (FV/FM) and leaf nitrogen concentration were rather stable. CO2 uptake rate and rubisco activity of young leaves compensated for the O3 injury in the ageing leaves of the low-fertilized plants. In 8-week-old leaves, however, the O3-induced decline in CO2 uptake did not differ between the nutrient regimes and was associated with increased dark respiration rather than changed
photorespiration. The balance between CO2 supply and demand was lost, as was stomatal limitation on CO2 uptake. High nutrition did not help leaves to maintain a high photosynthetic capacity and life span under O3 stress.

Previous studies have indicated that the rate of photorespiration in C4 plants is low or negligible. In this study, wild-type and mutant leaves of the C4 plant Amaranthus edulis were treated with the glutamine synthetase inhibitor, phosphinothricin and the glycine decarboxylase inhibitor, aminoacetonitrile, at different concentrations of CO2. The time course of ammonia accumulation in leaves of the wild type was compared with a mutant lacking phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity (EC 4.1.1.31), and with three different mutants that accumulated glycine. The increase in the concentration of ammonia in the leaves, stimulated by the treatments was used as a measurement of the rate of photorespiration in C4 plants. The application of glutamine and glycine maintained the rate of photorespiratory ammonia production for a longer period in the wild type, and increased the rate in a mutant lacking phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase suggesting that there was a lack of amino donors in these plants. The calculated rate of photorespiration in Amaranthus edulis wild-type leaves when the supply of amino donors was enough to maintain the photorespiratory nitrogen flow, accounted for approximately 6% of the total net photosynthetic CO2 assimilation rate. In a mutant lacking phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, however, this rate increased to 48%, when glutamine was fed to the leaf, a value higher than that found in some C3 plants. In mutants of Amaranthus edulis that accumulated glycine, the rate of photorespiration was reduced to 3% of the total net CO2 assimilation rate. The rate of ammonia produced during photorespiration was 60% of the total produced by all metabolic reactions in the leaves. The data suggests that photorespiration is an active process in C4 plants, which can play an important role in photosynthetic metabolism in these plants. 相似文献

Five decades ago, a novel mode of CO2 assimilation that was later described as C4-photosynthesis was discovered on mature leaves of maize (Zea mays L.) plants. Here we show that 3- to 5-day-old developing maize leaves recapitulate the evolutionary advance from the ancient,
inefficient C3 mode of photosynthesis to the C4 pathway, a mechanism for overcoming the wasteful process of photorespiration. Chlorophyll fluorescence measurements documented
that photorespiration was high in 3-day-old juvenile primary leaves with non-specialized C3-like leaf anatomy and low in 5-day-old organs with the typical “Kranz-anatomy” of C4 leaves. Photosynthetic gas (CO2)-exchange measurements on 5-day-old leaves revealed the characteristic features of C4 photosynthesis, with a CO2 compensation point close to zero and little inhibition of photosynthesis by the normal oxygen concentration in the air. This
indicates a very low photorespiratory activity in contrast to control experiments conducted with mature C3 sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) leaves, which display a high rate of photorespiration. 相似文献

Control of photosynthesis in barley plants with reduced activities of glycine decarboxylase 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A mutant (LaPr 87/30) of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) deficient in glycine decarboxylase (GDC; EC 2.1.2.10) was crossed with wild-type plants to generate heterozygous plants
with reduced GDC activities. Plants of the F2 generation were grown in air and analysed for reductions in GDC proteins and GDC activity. The leaves of heterozygous plants
contained reduced amounts of H-protein, and when the content of H-protein was lower than 60% of the wild-type, the P-protein
was also reduced. The contents of the other two proteins of the GDC complex, T-protein and L-protein were not affected. Glycine
decarboxylase activities, measured as the decarboxylation of [1-14C]glycine by intact mitochondria released from protoplasts, were between 47% and 63% of the wild-type activity in heterozygous
plants and between 86% and 100% in plants with normal contents of H-protein. The enzyme activity was linearly correlated with
the relative content of H-protein. Plants with reduced GDC activities developed normally and did not show major pleiotropic
effects. In air, the reduction in GDC activity had no effect on the leaf metabolite content or photosynthesis, but under conditions
of enhanced photorespiration (low CO2 and high light), glycine accumulated and the rates of photosynthesis decreased compared to the wild-type. The accumulation
of glycine did not lead to a depletion of amino donors or to the accumulation of glyoxylate. The lower rates of photosynthesis
were probably caused by an impaired recycling of carbon in the photorespiratory pathway. It is concluded that GDC has no control
over CO2 assimilation under normal growth conditions, but appreciable control by GDC becomes apparent under conditions leading to
higher rates of photorespiration.

The seasonal trends in water use efficiency of sun and shade leaves of mature oak (Quercus robur) and sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) trees were assessed in the upper canopy of an English woodland. Intrinsic water use efficiency (net CO2 assimilation rate/leaf conductance, A/g) was measured by gas exchange and inferred from C isotope discrimination (δ13C) methods. Shade leaves had consistently lower δ13C than sun leaves (by 1–2‰), the difference being larger in sycamore. Buds had distinct sun and shade isotopic signatures
before bud break and received an influx of 13C-rich C before becoming net autotrophs. After leaf full expansion, δ13C declined by 1–2‰ gradually through the season, emphasising the importance of imported carbon in the interpretation of leaf
δ13C values in perennial species. There was no significant difference between the two species in the value of intrinsic water
use efficiency for either sun or shade leaves. For sun leaves, season-long A/g calculated from δ13C (72–78 μmol CO2 [mol H2O]−1) was 10–16% higher than that obtained from gas exchange and in situ estimates of leaf boundary layer conductance. For shade
leaves, the gas exchange–derived values were low, only 10–18% of the δ13C-derived values. This is ascribed to difficulties in obtaining a comprehensive sample of gas exchange measurements in the
rapidly changing light environment. 相似文献

Various factors affect the CO2 compensation point of detached leaves of Lolium perenne L. These include oxygen concentration, temperature, leaf age, and season (spring and summer). Analysis of the results using the model of G.D. Farquhar, S. von Caemmerer and J.A. Berry (1980) Planta 149, 78–90, indicates that some of the CO2 evolved by leaves in the light is derived from sources other than photorespiration. It is suggested that the operation of the tricarboxylic acid in the light can account for most of this CO2.Azcón-Bieto—experimental work was done in Barcelona, the further analyses white at the A.N.U. 相似文献

The CURLY LEAF (CLF ) gene in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. is required for stable repression of a floral homeotic gene, AGAMOUS in leaves and stems To clarify the function of CLF in organ development, we characterized clf mutants using an anatomical and genetic approach. The clf mutants had normal roots, hypocotyls, and cotyledons, but the foliage leaves and the stems had reduced dimensions. A decrease
both in the extent of cell elongation and in the number of cells was evident in the clf mutant leaves, suggesting that the CLF gene might be involved in the division and elongation of cells during leaf morphogenesis. An analysis of the development
of clf mutant leaves revealed that the period during which cell division or cell elongation occurred was of normal duration, while
the rates of both cell production and cell elongation were lower than in the wild type. Two phases in the elongation of cells
were also recognized from this analysis. From analysis of an angustifolia clf double mutant, we found that the two phases of elongation of leaf cells were regulated independently by each gene. Thus,
the CLF gene appears to affect cell division at an earlier stage and cell elongation throughout the development of leaf primordia.

Ontogenetic patterns of leaf CO2 exchange, morphology and chemistry in Betula pendula trees 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
J. Oleksyn R. Żytkowiak P. B. Reich M. G. Tjoelker P. Karolewski 《Trees - Structure and Function》2000,14(5):271-281
In order to explore ontogenetic variation in leaf-level physiological traits of Betula pendula trees, we measured changes in mass- (A
mass) and area-based (A
area) net photosynthesis under light-saturated conditions, mass- (RSmass) and area-based (RSarea) leaf respiration, relative growth rate, leaf mass per area (LMA), total nonstructural carbohydrates (TNC), and macro- and
micronutrient concentrations. Expanding leaves maintained high rates of A
area, but due to high growth respiration rates, net CO2 fixation occurred only at irradiances >200 μmol photons m–2 s–1. We found that full structural leaf development is not a necessary prerequisite for maintaining positive CO2 balance in young birch leaves. Maximum rates of A
area were realized in late June and early July, whereas the highest values of A
mass occurred in May and steadily declined thereafter. The maintenance respiration rate averaged ≈8 nmol CO2 g–1 s–1, whereas growth respiration varied between 0 and 65 nmol CO2 g–1 s–1. After reaching its lowest point in mid-June, leaf respiration increased gradually until the end of the growing season. Mass
and area-based dark respiration were significantly positively correlated with LMA at stages of leaf maturity, and senescence.
Concentrations of P and K decreased during leaf development and stabilized or increased during maturity, and concentrations
of immobile elements such as Ca, Mn and B increased throughout the growing season. Identification of interrelations between
leaf development, CO2 exchange, TNC and leaf nutrients allowed us to define factors related to ontogenetic variation in leaf-level physiological
traits and can be helpful in establishing periods appropriate for sampling birch leaves for diagnostic purposes such as assessment
of plant and site productivity or effects of biotic or abiotic factors.

A mutant of Amaranthus edulis (Speg.) lacking activity of the C4 leaf form of NAD-malic enzyme (ME; EC 1.1.1.39) has been isolated. Homozygous mutant (5% wild-type ME activity) and heterozygous
(50% wild-type ME activity) F2 plants were shown to contain both the α and β NAD-ME subunits in similar amounts to those detected in the wild-type leaves.
The rate of photosynthetic CO2 assimilation was reduced in the homozygous mutant to 5% of that observed for the wild-type leaves. Other C4 enzymes were not down-regulated in the mutant plants. There was little difference in photosynthetic rate of the heterozygous
plants compared to the wild-type, suggesting that NAD-ME exerts little control over the rate of C4 photosynthesis, and that in the wild-type the enzyme has a very low control coefficient. The activity loss in the heterozygote
may therefore be compensated by regulatory mechanisms that increase the activity of the enzyme in vivo. Data for bundle-sheath
strands indicated that although the homozygous mutants were able to oxidise malate via the Krebs cycle, they were unable to
convert malate to pyruvate and alanine via NAD-ME.

The impact of elevated CO2 (1000 μmol/mol) was assessed on the common weed,Arabidopsis thaliana (Landsberg erecta), which is used as a model plant system. Elevated CO2 stimulated relative growth rate (RGR) and leaf area gain ofArabidopsis beginning from the cotyledon stage and continuing through the juvenile stage. This early advantage in growth enabled the plants grown in elevated CO2 to gain more DW despite similar RGRs throughout the latter stages of development. The greater accumulation of DW in leaves grown in elevated CO2 resulted in a lower specific leaf area (SLA). However, the amount of cell wall investment per unit of leaf area, specific “wall” area (SWA), was similar indicating that elevated CO2 did not affect the distribution of cell carbon to the cell wall of leaves beyond that needed for cell and leaf expansion. Furthermore, cell wall composition changed with time due to developmental changes and was not affected by elevated CO2. Associated with the increase in RGR by elevated CO2 was a concomitant increase in the activity of UDP-Glc dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.1.1.22), a key enzyme in the nucleotide-sugar interconversion pathway necessary for biosynthesis of many cell-wall polysaccharides. 相似文献

Expression analysis of a high-affinity nitrate transporter isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana by differential display 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
We used the differential display technique on total RNAs from roots of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. plants which had or had not been induced for 2 h by nitrate. One isolated cDNA clone, designated Nrt2:1At, was found to code for a putative high-affinity nitrate transporter. Two genomic sequences homologous to Nrt2:1At were found to be localized on the same fragment of chromosome 1 in the Arabidopsis genome. Expression analyses of both low- and high-affinity nitrate transporter genes, respectively Nrt1:1At (previously named Chl1) and Nrt2:1At, were carried out on plants grown under different nitrogen regimes. In this paper, we show that both genes are induced by
very low levels of nitrate (50 μM KNO3). However, stronger induction was observed with Nrt2:1At than with Nrt1:1At. Moreover, these two genes, although both over-expressed in a nitrate-reductase-deficient mutant, were differently regulated
when N-sufficient wild-type or mutant plants were transferred to an N-free medium. Indeed, the steady-state amounts of Nrt1:1At mRNA declined whereas the amount of Nrt2:1At mRNA increased, probably reflecting the de-repression of the high-affinity transport system during N-starvation.

The differences in pigment levels, photosynthetic activity and the chlorophyll fluorescence decrease ratio R
Fd (as indicator of photosynthetic rates) of green sun and shade leaves of three broadleaf trees (Platanus acerifolia Willd., Populus alba L., Tilia cordata Mill.) were compared. Sun leaves were characterized by higher levels of total chlorophylls a + b and total carotenoids x + c as well as higher values for the weight ratio chlorophyll (Chl) a/b (sun leaves 3.23–3.45; shade leaves: 2.74–2.81), and lower values for the ratio chlorophylls to carotenoids (a + b)/(x + c) (with 4.44–4.70 in sun leaves and 5.04–5.72 in shade leaves). Sun leaves exhibited higher photosynthetic rates P
N on a leaf area basis (mean of 9.1–10.1 μmol CO2 m−2 s−1) and Chl basis, which correlated well with the higher values of stomatal conductance G
s (range 105–180 mmol m−2 s−1), as compared to shade leaves (G
s range 25–77 mmol m−2 s−1; P
N: 3.2–3.7 μmol CO2 m−2 s−1). The higher photosynthetic rates could also be detected via imaging the Chl fluorescence decrease ratio R
Fd, which possessed higher values in sun leaves (2.8–3.0) as compared to shade leaves (1.4–1.8). In addition, via R
Fd images it was shown that the photosynthetic activity of the leaves of all trees exhibits a large heterogeneity across the
leaf area, and in general to a higher extent in sun leaves than in shade leaves. 相似文献

The anatomical features of leaves in 11 species of plants grown in a temperature gradient and a temperature + CO2 gradient were studied. The palisade parenchyma thickness, the spongy parenchyma thickness and the total leaf thickness were
measured and analyzed to investigate the effects of elevated temperature and CO2 on the anatomical characteristics of the leaves. Our results show that with the increase of temperature, the leaf thickness
of C4 species increased while the leaf thickness of C3 species showed no constant changes. With increased CO2, seven out of nine C3 species exhibited increased total leaf thickness. In C4 species, leaf thickness decreased. As for the trend on the multi-grades, the plants exhibited linear or non-linear changes.
With the increase of temperature or both temperature and CO2 for the 11 species investigated, leaf thickness varied greatly in different plants (species) and even in different branches
on the same plant. These results demonstrated that the effect of increasing CO2 and temperature on the anatomical features of the leaves were species-specific. Since plant structures are correlated with
plant functions, the changes in leaf anatomical characteristics in elevated temperature and CO2 may lead to functional differences.
