生长素和赤霉素对离体水仙花茎切段伸长的影响

以离体水仙(Narcissustazettavar.chinensis)花茎切段为材料,通过外源吲哚-3-乙酸(Indole-3-aceticacid,IAA)和赤霉素A3(GA3)处理,结合内源激素分析,研究了这两种激素对水仙花茎切段伸长的影响,以及它们之间的相互作用。结果表明:外源50μmol/LIAA和30μmol/LGA3均能促进花茎切段的伸长,其中IAA的促进作用大于GA3。200μmol/L生长素运输抑制剂2,3,5-三碘苯甲酸(2,3,5-Triiodobenzoicacid,TIBA)和65μmol/L赤霉素合成抑制剂烯效唑(Uniconazole,S-3307)均显著抑制花茎切段的伸长。外源50μmol/LIAA处理明显增加内源GA1 3的含量,是对照的3.40倍;外源30μmol/LGA3处理对内源IAA含量影响不明显,说明IAA对维持花茎切段内源活性GA水平起重要作用,IAA和活性GA共同发挥调控花茎切段伸长的作用。     

多胺对菊花激素含量与花芽分化的影响

以切花菊（Dendranthema morifolium）品种‘神马’为试材,外源喷施0．1mmol·L-1的亚精胺（Spd）与多胺合成抑制剂D-精氨酸（D．Arg）,转入昼10h／夜14h的短日条件下进行开花诱导,测定不同花芽分化时期顶芽内源多胺[腐胺（Put）、亚精胺（Spd）、精胺（spm）]和几种激素[生长素（IAA）、玉米素核苷（ZR）、异戊烯基腺苷（iPA）、赤霉素（GA）]含量的动态变化,分析多胺对激素和花芽分化的作用关系。结果表明,外源多胺和多胺合成抑制剂能够显著影响顶芽内源多胺（Put、Spd、Spm）和激素（IAA、ZR、iPA、GA）的含量,顶芽内高水平多胺有利于菊花花芽分化的启动和保持;外源多胺及多胺合成抑制剂可能通过影响内源多胺含量从而影响内源激素或者直接影响内源激素和内源多胺,进而调控花芽分化：内源Put与IAA关系密切,高水平的内源Put不利于IAA的积累;ZR和iPA含量与内源多胺总量的变化趋势一致;外源多胺及多胺合成抑制剂对GA的影响主要在花序分化期和小花分化期,且高水平的内源Spd和Put不利于GA的积累。

Soluble and insoluble invertase activity in elongating Tulipa gesneriana flower stalks

Previously 'frozen' Tulipa gesneriana L. bulbs cv. Apeldoorn, were planted and grown at higher temperatures to study the role of invertase (EC 3.2.1.26) in the cold-induced elongation of the flower stalk internodes. After planting, flower stalks were left intact, or, the leaves and flower bud were both removed to inhibit internode elongation. In intact flower stalks, elongation of the internodes was accompanied by an accumulation of glucose and an initial decrease in the sucrose content g,⁻¹ dry weight. Insoluble invertase activity g,⁻¹ dry weight hardly changed, but soluble invertase activity showed a peak pattern, that was related, at least for the greater part, to the changes in the sugar contents. Peak activities of soluble invertase were found during (lower- and uppermost internodes) or around the onset of the rapid phase of internode elongation (middle internodes). Internode elongation and glucose accumulation immediately ceased when the leaves and flower bud were removed. Insoluble invertase activity g,⁻¹ dry weight remained at its initial level (lowermost internode) or increased more towards the upper internodes. Soluble invertase activity did not further increase (uppermost internode) or decreased abruptly to a low level. It is concluded that soluble invertase may be one of the factors contributing to glucose accumulation and internode elongation in the tulip flower stalk.     

EUI1, encoding a putative cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, regulates internode elongation by modulating gibberellin responses in rice

Elongation of rice internodes is one of the most important agronomic traits, which determines the plant height and underlies the grain yield. It has been shown that the elongation of internodes is under genetic control, and various factors are implicated in the process. Here, we report a detailed characterization of an elongated uppermost internode1 (eui1) mutant, which has been used in hybrid rice breeding. In the eui1-2 mutant, the cell lengths in the uppermost internodes are significantly longer than that of wild type and thus give rise to the elongated uppermost internode. It was found that the level of active gibberellin was elevated in the mutant, whereas its growth in response to gibberellin is similar to that of the wild type, suggesting that the higher level accumulation of gibberellin in the eui1 mutant causes the abnormal elongation of the uppermost internode. Consistently, the expression levels of several genes which encode gibberellin biosynthesis enzymes were altered. We cloned the EUI1 gene, which encodes a putative cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, by map-based cloning and found that EUI1 was weakly expressed in most tissues, but preferentially in young panicles. To confirm its function, transgenic experiments with different constructs of EUI1 were conducted. Overexpression of EUI1 gave rise to the gibberellin-deficient-like phenotypes, which could be partially reversed by supplementation with gibberellin. Furthermore, apart from the alteration of expression levels of the gibberellin biosynthesis genes, accumulation of SLR1 protein was found in the overexpressing transgenic plants, indicating that the expression level of EUI1 is implicated in both gibberellin-mediated SLR1 destruction and a feedback regulation in gibberellin biosynthesis. Therefore, we proposed that EUI1 plays a negative role in gibberellin-mediated regulation of cell elongation in the uppermost internode of rice.     

Role of polyamines in gibberellin-induced internode growth in peas

To determine the requirement for polyamines in gibberellin (GA) induced internode growth polyamine content was measured in internodes of peas of various internode phenotypes (slender, tall, dwarf, nana) with and without applied gibberellin (GA₃) and polyamine synthesis inhibitors. Polyamines were assayed as dansyl derivatives which were separated by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography and detected by fluorescence spectrophotometry. The amounts of polyamines in the different genetic lines of peas, which differed in internode lengths and extractable GA content, correlated with the extent of internode elongation. High polyamine concentrations were associated with young internodes and decreased with internode expansion. Extremely short internodes of nana plants without GA exhibited equal or higher amine concentrations relative to internodes of other lines of peas and GA-stimulated nana seedlings. The polyamine synthesis inhibitors, α-difluoromethylornithine and α-difluoromethylarginine, independently or in combination, inhibited polyamine accumulation and internode elongation of tall peas and GA-stimulated nana plants. Agmatine and putrescine restored growth and endogenous polyamine content to variable degrees. However, exogenous polyamines were not effective in promoting growth unless intracellular amines were partially depleted.

These results suggest that polyamines do not have a role in cell elongation, but may be required to support cell proliferation. Polyamines do not mediate the entire action of GA in internode growth of peas since GA induction of growth involves both cell division and cell elongation, whereas polyamines appear to affect cell division only.

     

Effects of CCC and GA on internodal development of barley

Summary The effect of applying (2-chloroethyl)trimethylammonium chloride (CCC) or gibberellic acid (GA) as foliar sprays on internodal development of barley was studied. CCC applied to the whole plant at main tiller leaf stages 1, 2 or 3 decreased shoot elongation, and prevented elongation of internode 6 (internode 5 subtended the head). CCC at all stages delayed senescence of the lower leaves. CCC sprayed at all 6 leaf stages and GA sprayed at main tiller leaf stages 1, 2, 3 or 4 reduced plant height at maturity. GA treatment at leaf stages 2, 3 or 4 initially stimulated internodal elongation; elongation of later developed internodes was inhibited resulting in shorter plants at maturity. Only the treatment with GA at leaf stages 5 and 6 resulted in increased plant height.

Spiral growth and cell wall properties of the gibberellin-treated first internodes in the seedlings of a wheat cultivar tolerant to deep-sowing conditions

The Hong Mang Mai wheat cultivar is tolerant to deep-sowing conditions because it has an elongated first internode that is sensitive to gibberellin (GA₃). The cells in the GA-treated first internodes were approximately 4.2 mm long, twice as long as the untreated Hong Mang Mai first internode cells. The elongation of the first internode of Hong Mang Mai, particularly when treated with GA₃, was accompanied by remarkable spiral growth. In contrast, the first internodes of the GA-insensitive cultivar Norin 10 did not exhibit GA₃-induced elongation or spiral growth. The walls of the first internode cells of GA₃-treated Hong Mang Mai seedlings showed increased extensibility and higher (1→3), (1→4)- β - d -glucanase activity, autolysis and glucan contents than the cell walls of untreated Hong Mang Mai first internodes. The changes in the cell wall extensibility due to GA₃ treatment correlated strongly with the GA₃-induced changes in cell wall glucan content, autolysis, and glucanase activity. GA₃-treated Hong Mang Mai seedlings showed elevated expression of Glucanase EI gene in the first internode compared to GA₃-treated Norin 10. Thus, GA aids first internode elongation in Hong Mang Mai by enhancing glucan turnover and thus increasing cell wall loosening. The spiral growth of the first internode also helps the plant elongate against soil resistance, thereby promoting the deep-sowing tolerance of this cultivar.     

Effect of morphactin on stem growth in relation to auxin in precooled rooted tulip bulbs

Effect of morphactin IT 3456, an auxin transport inhibitor, on tulip stem elongation induced by indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was investigated. Tulip stem growth induced by IAA 0.1 % in lanolin paste applied on the top internode after excision of flower bud and removal of all leaves was greatly inhibited by 0.2 % morphactin IT 3456 applied on the 4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st internode. The inhibitory effect of the morphactin on tulips stem growth promoted by IAA was restored by additional application of IAA below the morphactin treatment place. Morphactin inhibited also the growth of all internodes induced by flower bud in the absence of leaves. These results suggest a crucial role of auxin in the control growth of all internodes in tulip stem.     

Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase activity in pea internodes. Effects of applied gibberellic acid.

Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase (XET) activity extractable from internodes of tall and dwarf varieties of pea (Pisum sativum L.) was assayed radiochemically using tamarind seed xyloglucan as donor substrate and an oligosaccharidyl-[3H]alditol as acceptor substrate. Internodes I and II showed little elongation during the period 15 to 21 d after sowing; XET activity remained relatively constant and was unaffected by exogenous gibberellic acid (GA3). A single application of GA3 to the dwarf genotype resulted in a small enhancement of elongation in internode III between d 17 and 21 and caused a small increase in XET activity in internode III. Repeated applications of GA3 caused internode V to elongate between d 20 and 26, to the same extent as in the tall variety, and concomitantly led to greatly elevated XET activity (expressed per unit fresh weight, per unit of extractable protein, and per internode). Thus, XET activity correlated with GA3-enhanced length in pea internodes; the possibility that this represents a causal relationship is discussed.     

Gibberellins and heterosis in maize : I. Endogenous gibberellin-like substances

Under controlled environment and/or field conditions, vegetative growth (height, internode length, leaf area, shoot dry weight, grain yield) was greater in an F₁ maize hybrid than in either parental inbred. Endogenous gibberellin (GA)-like substances in apical meristem cylinders were also higher in the hybrid than in either inbred, both on a per plant and per gram dry weight basis. There were no apparent qualitative differences in GA-like substances, however. Levels of GA-like substances in all genotypes were highest prior to tassel initiation. Chromatographic comparisons of the GA-like substances and authentic standards of GA native to maize on gradient-eluted SiO₂ partition and reverse-phase C₁₈ high-pressure liquid chromatography columns are described. No consistent differences in abscisic acid levels of the three genotypes were observed. This correlation of heterosis for endogenous GA-like substances with heterosis for growth suggests that amounts of endogenous GA may be related to hybrid vigor in maize.     

Temperature alternations and the influence of gibberellins and indoleacetic acid on elongation growth and flowering of Begonia x hiemalis Fotsch

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of plant hormones, particularly the gibberellins (GAs), in the thermoperiodic regulation of stem elongation in the short day plant (SDP) Begonia x hiemalis. Effects of GAs and some GA precursors were tested on plants grown under alternating day/night temperatures (DT/NT; 12/12 h), and the effects of these temperature regimes on endogenous plant hormones were analyzed using combined gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS).Compared with constant temperatures (19/19 °C; 21/21 °C), stem elongation was significantly inhibited by low DT/high NT (14/24 °C; 18/24 °C) and enhanced by the opposite treatments (24/14 °C; 26/17 °C). GA1 stimulated elongation of internodes and petioles while ent-kaurene, kaurenoic acid, GA12, GA19, GA20 had no significant effect. The effect of GA1 was enhanced by a simultaneous application of calcium 3,5-dioxo-4-propionylcyclohexanecarboxylate (BX-112). BX-112 inhibited internode elongation at high DT/low NT (24/14 °C) but not at the reverse temperature regime.Gibberellins A53, A19, A20, A1, A4, A9, and indoleacetic acid (IAA), were identified by GC-MS from both leaves, including the petioles, and stems of B. x hiemalis. There were no apparent relationships between elongation of internodes and petioles and endogenous contents of gibberellins A53, A19, A20, and A1. Recoveries of deuterated GA4 and GA9 were generally too low for estimation of endogenous levels of these GAs.Constant temperature resulted in more open flowers and flower buds compared to alternating DT and NT. BX-112 decreased the time to anthesis.
