Summary Premeiotic colchicine treatment brings about the production of one to five quadrivalents in Zea mays ssp. mays (maize, 2n=20) and an increase in the number of quadrivalents from five to ten in Zea perennis (2n=40). The results confirm the allotetraploid nature of maize and suggest that the species possesses two homoeologous genomes (A2A2 B2B2) that fail to pair, probably due to the presence of Ph-like genes. Moreover, the autoallooctoploid nature of Zea perennis, with a genome formula A1A1 A1A1 C1C1 C2C2, is supported by the present results. 相似文献

Summary The nuclear DNA amount and the heterochromatin content in species and hybrids of Zea were analyzed in telophase nuclei (2C) of the root apex of germinating seeds. The results revealed significant differences among taxa and also among lines and races of maize. The hybrids between Z. mays ssp. mays x Z. mays ssp. mexicana (2n=20), Z. diploperennis x Z. perennis (2n=30), and Z. diploperennis x Z.perennis (2n=40) showed DNA content intermediate between that of the parents. The number of chromosomal C-bands and the proportion of the genome comprising C-band heterochromatin were positively related to genome size. In the different lines and races of maize studied, there was a positive correlation between genome size and the interval from germination to flowering. Octoploid Z. perennis (2n=40) showed the smallest DNA content per basic genome and the smallest heterochromatic blocks, suggesting that the DNA lost by this species consisted mainly of repetitive sequences. Considering that the extant species of Zea are tetraploid (2n=20) and octoploid (2n=40) and that the ancestral diploids are extinct, any consideration of the direction (increase or decrease) of the DNA change would be entirely speculative. The extant species could be the product of natural and artificial selection acting on different genotypic and nucleotypical constitutions at the diploid and/or tetraploid levels. 相似文献

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), fusicoccin and weak acids all lower the cytoplasmic pH (pHi) and induce elongation growth of maize (Zea mays L.) coleoptiles. Gibberellic acid (GA3) also induces elongation growth and we have used confocal laser scanning microscopy to study the effects of GA3 on pHi employing the pH-indicator dyes, 2,7-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5-(and-6) carboxyfluorescein and carboxy-semi-naphthorhodafluor-1. We confirm that GA3 induces growth significantly in light-grown but only slightly or not at all in dark-grown coleoptiles. The growth induced by IAA treatment was similar in light- and dark-grown coleoptiles. The pHi decreased by up to 0.6 units during the first 7 min of GA3 or IAA treatment of both light- and dark-grown coleoptiles. Gibberellic acid inhibited IAA-induced growth of dark-grown coleoptiles. Hence, in dark-grown coleoptiles GA3 may activate either directly or indirectly reactions that interfere with the signalling pathway leading to elongation growth. The possible role of pHi in growth is discussed.Abbreviations ABA

Heterogeneity of storage proteins in maize 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The extensive charge heterogeneity of maize (Zea mays L.) zeins observed in isoelectric focusing (IEF) (about 15 bands with pI's in the pH range 6–9) has been found to be independent of extraction procedures or of endosperm development. Zeins do not stain for glycoproteins and exhibit only one lipoprotein component, with pI 3, representing 3–5% of the total protein.Zeins are very resistant to in vitro deamidation, at both acidic and alkaline pH, at high temperatures, and for rather prolonged times. On the basis of the zein content in acidic and basic amino acids, and of the respective pI's exhibited in IEF (mostly in the pH range 7–8) it has been calculated that at least 90% of the glutamic and aspartic acids (52 residues out of a total of 190) are present as asparagine and glutamine.Amino acid analysis of zein fractions isolated by preparative IEF has demonstrated changes in the composition of 18 amino acid residues. However, since these changes affect only neutral and hydrophobic residues, it is concluded that the observed zein heterogeneity is partly based on in vivo deamidation of glutamine and asparagine and partly to spot mutations in some of the genes responsible for zein synthesis.Abbreviations A

Summary Germ plasm from the A-genome of Pennisetum purpureum Schum. (AABB) of the secondary gene pool was transferred to cultivated pearl millet (AA) [P. glaucum (L.) R. Br.] by pollinating cytoplasmicnuclear male-sterile (cms) pearl millet with fertile allohexaploid pearl millet x P. purpureum hybrids (AAAABB). Certain allohexaploids used as pollinators on cms pearl millet resulted in 14-chromosome diploid pearl millet progenies. Three types of diploid pearl millet plants were produced in addition to the expected 28-chromosome AAAB-genome plants: (1) cms plants with only the A-genome, (2) cms plants with the A- and A-genomes, and (3) fertile plants with the A- and A-genomes. The latter group has allowed the utilization of genes for fertility restoration, stiff stalk, maturity, height, and morphological characteristics from the A-genome of P. purpureum in the pearl millet breeding program. Production of monoploid gametes by the allohexaploids appeared to be genetically controlled. 相似文献

The localization of photosynthetic activity in developing maize (Zea mays L.) chloroplasts was studied in situ by two electron-microscopic-cytochemical methods. The activity of photosystem I was detected by photooxidation of 3,3-diaminobenzidine (DAB) and the activity of the photosystem II by photoreduction of thiocarbamyl nitrotetrazolium blue (TCNBT). During the transformation of proplastids into chloroplasts, at the base of the leaf blade the DAB reaction appeared before the TCNBT reaction. A positive DAB reaction was observed in the single thylakoids of plastids in cells located only about 0.5 mm above the base. Dark, osmiophilic DAB polymers accumulated in the lumina of the thylakoids. Plastid envelopes and tubules of the prolamellar bodies in immature chloroplasts were DAB-negative. In fully differentiated leaf tissue the DAB reaction was intense in the thylakoids of bundle-sheath chloroplasts, as well as in the stroma thylakoids and the peripheral grana thylakoids of mesophyll chloroplats. The photoreduction of TCNBT started in leaf tissue about 1 mm above the base. Dark granular material of reduced TCNBT appeared mostly in the partitions of grana, i.e. interthylakoidally, but some granules were also attached to the stroma thylakoids. The membranes of plastid envelopes and the tubules of prolamellar bodies showed a negative TCNBT reaction. Young bundle-sheath chloroplasts contained some reduced TCNBT in their grana; these deposits largely disappeared in the course of further differentiation. In mature leaf tissue the photoreduction of TCNBT was conspicuous in the grana of mesophyll chloroplasts, but very weak in the single thylakoids and in the granal rudiments of bundle-sheath chloroplasts.Abbreviations DAB

Comparison of the kinetic properties,inhibition and labelling of the phosphate translocators from maize and spinach mesophyll chloroplasts 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The kinetic properties of the phosphate translocator from maize (Zea mays L.) mesophyll chloroplasts have been determined. We have used a double silicone-oil-layer centrifugation system in order to obtain true initial uptake rates in forward-reaction experiments. In addition, it was possible to perform back-exchange experiments and to study the effects of illumination and of preloading the chloroplasts with different substrates on transport. It is shown that the phosphate translocator from mesophyll chloroplasts of maize, a C4 plant, transports inorganic phosphate and phosphorylated C3 compounds in which the phosphate group is linked to the C3 atom (e.g. 3-phosphoglycerate and triose phosphate). The affinities of the transported metabolites towards the translocator protein are about one order of magnitude higher than in mesophyll chloroplasts from the C3 plant, spinach. In contrast to the phosphate translocator from C3-mesophyll chloroplasts, that of C4-mesophyll chloroplasts catalyzes in addition the transport of C3 compounds where the phosphate group is attached to the C2 atom (e.g. 2-phosphoglycerate, phosphoenolpyruvate). The phosphate translocator from both chloroplast types is strongly inhibited by pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PLP), 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid and 4,4-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid (DIDS). In the case of the spinach translocator protein these inhibitors were shown to react with the same amino-acid residue at the substrate binding site, and one molecule of either DIDS or PLP is obviously required per substrate binding site for the inactivation of the translocation process. In the functionally active dimeric translocator protein only one substrate-binding site appears to be accessible at a particular time, indicating that the site might be exposed to each side of the membrane in turn. Using [3H]-H2DIDS for the labelling of maize mesophyll envelopes the radioactivity was found to be associated with two polypeptides of about 29 and 30 kDa. Since Western-blot analysis showed that only the 30 kDa polypeptide reacted with an antiserum directed against the spinach phosphate translocator protein it is suggested that this polypeptide presumably represents the phosphate translocator from maize mesophyll chloroplasts.Abbreviations DIDS

Nuclei were isolated from the shoots of Zea mays and assayed for endogenous RNA polymerase activity in vitro. Maximum incorporation from radioactive precursors (70 pmol [3H]uridine 5 monophosphate/100 g DNA) was reached after incubation for 1 h at 25°C. The RNA product, analysed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, was polydisperse in size with an upper limit of 2x106 daltons. Discrete peaks of rRNA were not detected, probably because of endogenous ribonuclease activity. The inclusion of -amanitin (4 g/ml) in the incubation reduced the total incorporation by approximately 40% but did not significantly alter the size of the RNA product. Although 40% of the total activity could be attributed to RNA polymerase II, [3H]RNA synthesised in vitro was found not to contain long sequences of poly (A).Abbreviations oligo (dT)

The effects of temperature on the dark relaxation kinetics of nonradiative energy dissipation in photosystem II were compared in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) chloroplasts and leaves of Aegialitis annulata R. Br. After high levels of violaxanthin de-epoxidation in the light, Aegialitis leaves showed a marked delay in the dark relaxation of nonradiative dissipation, measured as non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) of photosystem II chlorophyll a fluorescence. Aegialitis leaves also maintained a moderately high adenylate energy charge at low temperatures during and after high-light exposure, presumably because of their limited carbon-fixation capacity. Similarly, dark-sustained NPQ could be induced in lettuce chloroplasts after de-epoxidizing violaxanthin and light-activating the ATP synthase. The duration and extent of dark-sustained NPQ were strongly enhanced by low temperatures in both chloroplasts and leaves. Further, the NPQ sustained at low temperatures was rapidly reversed upon warming. In lettuce chloroplasts, low temperatures sharply decreased the ATP-hydrolysis rate while increasing the duration and extent of the resultant trans-thylakoid proton gradient that elicits the NPQ. This was consistent with a higher degree of energy-coupling, presumably due to reduced proton diffusion through the thylakoid membrane at the lower temperatures. The chloroplast adenylate pool was in equilibrium with the adenylate kinase and therefore both ATP and ADP contributed to reverse coupling. The low-temperature-enhanced NPQ quenched the yields of the dark level (Fo) and the maximal (Fm) fluorescence proportionally in both chloroplasts and leaves. The extent of NPQ in the dark was inversely related to the efficiency of photosystem II, and very similar linear relationships were obtained over a wide temperature range in both chloroplasts and leaves. Likewise, the dark-sustained absorbance changes, caused by violaxanthin de-epoxidation (A508nm) and energy-dependent light scattering (A536nm) were strikingly similar in chloroplasts and leaves. Therefore, we conclude that the dark-sustained, low-temperature-stimulated NPQ in chloroplasts and leaves is apparently directly dependent on lumen acidification and chloroplastic ATP hydrolysis. In leaves, the ATP required for sustained NPQ is evidently provided by oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria. The functional significance of this quenching process and implications for measurements of photo-protection versus photodamage in leaves are discussed.Abbreviations and Symbols A

The genus Zea is here divided into the Sect. Luxuriantes Doebley & litis sect. n., including the perennials Z. diploperennis (2n = 20) and Z. perennis (2n = 40) and the annual Z. luxurians (2n = 20); and Sect. Zea , including the wild Z. mays ssp.parviglumis and Z. mays ssp. mexicana (both 2n = 20), and Z. mays ssp. mays (2n = 20), the highly domesticated and tremendously variable derivate of the latter. This division is verified by a multivariate analysis of a large number of morphological characters of the male inflorescence. Cytogenetic and chemotaxonomic evidence supports the morphological conclusions. A consideration of the phylogeny of Zea within the conceptual framework offered by this new sectioning of the genus points convincingly to annual teosinte (Z. mays ssp. mexicana) as the ancestor of cultivated maize. 相似文献

The molecular mechanism of membrane-associated reactions induced by auxin was investigated in membranes isolated from cultured cells of soybean (Glycine max L.). Auxins increased the activity of phospholipase A2 in microsomes isolated from suspensioncultured soybean cells. The reaction was measured as the accumulation of radioactive lysophosphatidylcholine hydrolyzed from radioactive phosphatidylcholine in membranes which had been prelabelled with [14-C]choline in vivo. Stimulation by auxin was detectable after 1 min and was auxin-specific in that weak auxins had little effect. Auxin concentrations as low as 2·10–8 M and up to 2·10+3 M -naphthaleneacetic acid already stimulated the phospholipase A2 activity. Guanosine and adenosine diphosphate at 100 M, if applied during homogenization of cells, completely abolished the stimulation of phospholipase A2 by auxin and, when applied after homogenization, had no effect. Guanosine and adenosine 5-O-thiotriphosphate, uridine 5-diphosphate, and uridine 5-triphosphate, all at 100 M, had no effect in either treatment, suggesting that only nucleotides entrapped in the vesicles could exert an effect. The effect of auxin on phospholipase A2 had an optimum at pH 5.5 and was abolished completely by an antibody against the membrane-associated auxin-binding protein from maize coleoptiles, applied after homogenization. This antibody recognized a 22-kDa polypeptide in highly purified plasma membranes from cultured soybean cells. This suggests a receptor function for this auxin-binding protein and a role for a cytosolic nucleotide-binding protein in the activation of phospholipase A2 by auxin. It is concluded that phospholipase A2 has a function in plant signal transduction.Abbreviations ABP

Mid-log-phase cell suspensions of Corydalis sempervirens Pers., when incubated in micromolar or submicromolar concentrations of fusicoccin, strongly acidified the culture medium. High-affinity fusicoccin-binding sites were found in microsomes prepared from these cells using the radioligand [3H]-9-norfusicoccin-8-alcohol. Binding was saturable with an apparent dissociation constant (K
d) of 2.8 nM, a pH optimum of 6.0, a temperature optimum of 35° C and was rapid (t1/2 = 8 min). The site abundance was 0.76±0.17 pmol · (mg of protein)–1. In the same membrane preparations, the K+, Mg2+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) was characterized. The enzyme was highly vanadate-sensitive (IC50=6.5 M) and nucleotide-specific (ATPNTP), had a pH optimum of 6.2, an apparent K
m for ATP of 0.23±0.12 mM, and V
max of 10.6±1.8 nkat (mg of protein)–1. Fusicoccin doubled V
max and lowered, by a factor of 2, the apparent K
m for ATP of the enzyme when the cells were incubated with the toxin for 30 min prior to homogenization of the cells. The stimulation of the enzyme was also pronounced when fusicoccin was added to the homogenization medium just prior to homogenization of the cells, but was slight to zero when the toxin was added at the microsomal stage. The pronounced stimulatory effect of fusicoccin on the ATPase was seen at pH 7.1, i.e. at a pH typical for the cytoplasmic compartment, but was not detectable at pH 6.2, the pH optimum of the enzyme. The implications of these findings for an understanding of fusicoccin action are discussed.Abbreviations [3H]ABE-FC

Crude extracts or supernatants of broken cells of Clostridium formicoaceticum reduce unbranched, branched, saturated and unsaturated carboxylates at the expense of carbon monoxide to the corresponding alcohols. The presence of viologens with redox potentials varying from E
0=-295 to-650 mV decreased the rate of propionate reduction. The more the propionate reduction was diminished the more formate was formed from carbon monoxide. The lowest propionate reduction and highest formate formation was observed with methylviologen. The carbon-carbon double bond of E-2-methyl-butenoate was only hydrogenated when a viologen was present. Formate as electron donor led only in the presence of viologens to the formation of propanol from propionate. The reduction of propionate at the expense of a reduced viologen can be followed in cuvettes. With respect to propionate Michaelis Menten behavior was observed. Experiments are described which lead to the assumption that the carboxylates are reduced in a non-activated form. That would be new type of biological reduction.Non-standard abbreviations glc

Formation of thermoluminescence signals is characteristics of energy- and charge storage in Photosystem II. In isolated D1/D2/cytochrome b-559 Photosystem II reaction centre preparation four thermoluminescence components were found. These appear at -180 (Z band), between -80 and -50 (Zv band), at -30 and at +35°C. The Z band arises from pigment molecules but not correlated with photosynthetic activity. The Zv and -30°C bands arise from the recombination of charge pairs stabilized in the Photosystem II reaction centre complex. The +35°C band probably corresponds to the artefact glow peak resulting from a pigment-protein-detergent interaction in subchloroplast preparations (Rózsa Zs, Droppa M and Horváth G (1989) Biochim Biophys Acta 973, 350–353).Abbreviations Chl

Photosystem II (PS II) chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence lifetimes were measured in thylakoids and leaves of barley wild-type and chlorina f104 and f2 mutants to determine the effects of the PS II Chl a+b antenna size on the deexcitation of absorbed light energy. These barley chlorina mutants have drastically reduced levels of PS II light-harvesting Chls and pigment-proteins when compared to wild-type plants. However, the mutant and wild-type PS II Chl a fluorescence lifetimes and intensity parameters were remarkably similar and thus independent of the PS II light-harvesting antenna size for both maximal (at minimum Chl fluorescence level, Fo) and minimal rates of PS II photochemistry (at maximum Chl fluorescence level, Fm). Further, the fluorescence lifetimes and intensity parameters, as affected by the trans-thylakoid membrane pH gradient (pH) and the carotenoid pigments of the xanthophyll cycle, were also similar and independent of the antenna size differences. In the presence of a pH, the xanthophyll cycle-dependent processes increased the fractional intensity of a Chl a fluorescence lifetime distribution centered around 0.4–0.5 ns, at the expense of a 1.6 ns lifetime distribution (see Gilmore et al. (1995) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 92: 2273–2277). When the zeaxanthin and antheraxanthin concentrations were measured relative to the number of PS II reaction center units, the ratios of fluorescence quenching to [xanthophyll] were similar between the wild-type and chlorina f104. However, the chlorina f104, compared to the wild-type, required around 2.5 times higher concentrations of these xanthophylls relative to Chl a+b to obtain the same levels of xanthophyll cycle-dependent fluorescence quenching. We thus suggest that, at a constant pH, the fraction of the short lifetime distribution is determined by the concentration and thus binding frequency of the xanthophylls in the PS II inner antenna. The pH also affected both the widths and centers of the lifetime distributions independent of the xanthophyll cycle. We suggest that the combined effects of the xanthophyll cycle and pH cause major conformational changes in the pigment-protein complexes of the PS II inner or core antennae that switch a normal PS II unit to an increased rate constant of heat dissipation. We discuss a model of the PS II photochemical apparatus where PS II photochemistry and xanthophyll cycle-dependent energy dissipation are independent of the Peripheral antenna size.Abbreviations Ax

Summary Treatment of Allium cepa L. cellsuspension cultures with a biotic elicitor derived from the fungus Botrytis cinerea, resulted in phytoalexin synthesis. Two phytoalexins, 5-octylcyclopenta-1,3-dione and 5-hexyl-cyclopenta-1,3-dione, were accumulated in cultured onion cells. Removal of extracellular Ca2+ by the calcium chelator ethylene glycol bis(b-aminoethyl ether) N,N-tetraacetic acid abolished the elicitor-mediated phytoalexin synthesis. The calcium channel blockers, verapamil and 8-N,N-(dimethylamino)octyl-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate caused similar effects, whereas the addition of the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 enhanced the accumulation of phytoalexins in the absence of the elicitor. Increase in the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration in elicitor-treated onion cells was observed as monitored by the fluorescent calcium indicator indo-1. These observations suggest that Ca2+ acts as a second messenger in the regulation of phytoalexin synthesis in cultured onion cells.Abbreviations A23187

Phytochrome is confirmed to be the photoreceptor pigment in the germination response of Onoclea sensibilis L. by demonstrating red-far-red (R-FR) photoreversibility. External Ca2+ is required for this response with a threshold at a submicromolar concentration. Ethylene glycol-bis(-amino-ethyl ether)-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid, La3+ and Co2+ reversibly inhibit germination. Lanthanum only inhibits germination when applied before or during irradiation, indicating that the external Ca2+ requirement is transient, although in the absence of Ca2+ the R-stimulated system remains maximally poised to accept the ion for over 4 h after irradiation. The ability to respond to Ca2+ 4.1 h after R-irradiation is not reversed by FR-irradiation, indicating that Ca2+ transport has been uncoupled from phytochrome. Barium and Sr2+, but not Mg2+ can substitute for Ca2+. Artificially increasing the concentration of intracellular free Ca2+ with the ionophore A 23187 stimulates germination in the dark. The Ca2+-calmodulin antagonists, trifluoperizine and chlorpromazine, reversibly inhibit germination. Calcium is required in phytochrome-mediated fern spore germination; it may be acting as a second messenger.Abbreviations EGTA
