Guye, M G., Vigh, L. and Wilson, J. M. 1986. Polyamine titrein relation to chill-sensitivity in Phaseolus sp.J. exp.Bot. 37: 10361043. Endogenous levels of the polyamines putrescine, spermidine andspermine were quantified in the primary leaves of five cultivarsof bean (Phaseolus sp.) differing in their wilting responseto a chilling exposure of 5 ?C for 24 h. Levels of polyamines prior to chilling treatment did not appearto be correlated with chill-tolerance as levels in the non-chilledcontrols were highest in cultivars of medium chill-sensitivity.Plants grown under a vapour saturation deficit (VSD) of 8?4gm3 day/6?1 g m3 night exhibited a mild hardeningas compared to plants grown under a VSD of 5?7 gm3 day/4?1gm3 night, as the former showed less wilting on chilling.Hardening at high VSD had the effect of slightly lowering theputrescine content of non-chilled tissue but total polyaminecontent remained unchanged. However, on chilling, the largestrelative increase in polyamine levels, in particular that ofputrescine, occurred in hardened plants. There was also a significantrelative increase in putrescine titre in response to chillingin non-hardened genotypes of high chill-tolerance, whereas morechill-sensitive genotypes remained unchanged or slightly declinedin putrescine content on chilling. Relative changes in putrescine content rather than absolutelevels appears to be correlated with chill-tolerance. Theseresults are discussed in view of present knowledge on the adaptivesignificance of stress-induced changes in polyamines, especiallywith regard to membrane stability Key words: Chilling, polyamines, Phaseolus sp. 相似文献

Suspension cultures of Oryza sativa L. var IR 20 grew in Murashigeand Skoog medium (MS) supplemented with 2,4-D and kinetin ina density-dependant manner with a critical minimum inoculation-densityof 10,000 cells ml1. Conditioned medium obtained fromthese cultures and added to MS+2,4-D+kinetin induced the growthof cultures at 1,000 cells ml1. Growth stimulation byconditioned medium was mimicked by spermidine but not by otherpolyamines viz. putrescine and spermine. This is the first reportof a polyamine substituting for conditioned medium in cultures.

Effect of Inorganic Phosphate on the Biosynthesis of Purine and Pyrimidine Nucleotides in Suspension-Cultured Cells of Catharanthus roseus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The levels of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides in suspensioncultures of Catharanthus roseus were determined 24 h after stationary-phasecells were transferred to fresh complete (+Pi)or phosphate-deficient (Pi) Murashige-Skoogmedium. The levels of ATP, GTP, UTP and CTP were from approx.3 to 5-fold greater in the cells grown in +Pimedium than in the cells grown in Pi medium.The levels of almost all other nucleotides were slightly higherin the cells in +Pi medium. The rates of de novoand salvage biosynthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotideswere estimated from the rates of incorporation of radioactivityfrom [14C]formate, [214C]glycine, NaH14CO3, [614C]orotate,[814C]adenine, [814C]adenosine, [214C]uraciland [214C]uridine. The results indicated that the activityof both the de novo and the salvage pathway was higher in thecells in +Pi medium than in the cells in Pimedium. The rate of degradation estimated from the rate of releaseof 14CO2 from labelled purines and pyrimidines indicated thatdegradation of uridine was significantly reduced in the cellsin +Pi medium, but no significant difference wasfound in the degradation of adenine, adenosine and uracil. Thepossible role of Pi in the control of the biosynthesis of nucleotidesand in the degradation of uridine is discussed.

Techniques are described for the culture of developing barley(Hordeum vulgare L.) caryopses. Over a 7 d period in culturethe dry weights and the amounts of starch and protein increasedby at least twofold. Growth was sustained for at least 20 d.The effects of glutamine and cysteine on the amount and compositionof the hordein storage proteins were also studied. Glutaminestimulated total hordein accumulation but caused a disproportionateincrease in the amount of the S-poor C hordeinswhen supplied at 100 mol m3. Addition of cysteine at1·0 mol m3 did not increase the amount of SrichB hordeins. The results suggest that althoughisolated caryopses are able to take up sucrose and glutamineand convert them to starch and protein there is some limitationin their ability to convert externally supplied cysteine intoproteins.

Variation in 14C Partitioning in the Tips of Growing Stolons of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
14C partitioning was examined in growing stolons of field-grownpotato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cv. Maris Piper. Considerablevariation was evident on single plants and on a fresh weightbasis many stolon tips, which showed no signs of sub-apicalswelling, had higher specific activities (cpm g1 f. wt)of 14C in both ethanol soluble and insoluble forms than larger,visibly tuberized stolons. Furthermore, many tips of low freshweight had a higher insoluble to soluble 14C ratio than visiblytuberized stolons suggesting greater efficiency of conversionof soluble 14C to insoluble 14C in the smaller stolons. Theresults suggest that the onset of visible tuberization,namely the sub-apical swelling of the stolon, is preceded byincreased soluble carbon accumulation at the stolon tip togetherwith an increase in the conversion of soluble to insoluble formsof carbon.

Proline and Polyamine Involvement in Chilling Tolerance of Maize Suspension Cultures 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
We have assessed the effect of various medium supplements inpromoting the ability of maize (Zea mays L.) inbred FR27rhmsuspension cultures to grow following a period of 4 °C chillingstress. Following a 4 week exposure to 4 °C in culture mediumwithout proline, no cell growth occurred upon subsequent incubationat 28°C for 2 weeks. This inhibition was reversed when 3to 48 mol m3 proline or 0.1 mol m3 putrescineor 0.01 mol m3 spermidine were present in the mediumduring the chilling stress. On the other hand, suspensions weremade more sensitive to 4°C by blocking polyamine biosynthesiswith 1.0 mol m3 methylglyoxal bis (guanylhydrazone) (MGBG)or a combination of 1.0 mol m3 difluoromethylornithine(DFMO) and 1.0 mol m3 difluoromethylarginine (DFMA).The addition of 10 mol m3 putrescine to the suspensioncontaining DFMO and DFMA prevented the increased chilling sensitivity.Electrolyte leakage studies conducted to assess membrane integrityafter 4 weeks at 4°C and a 2 week regrowth period showedthat cells treated with no polyamines (control), 0.01 mol m3spermidine, 1.0 mol m3 putrescine, or 1.0 mol m3MGBG lost 43, 32, 14, and 100% of the total electrolyte pool,respectively. These results suggest that proline and polyaminesare beneficial for inducing chilling tolerance in FR27rhm suspension. Key words: Proline, polyamine, chilling stress 相似文献

The Effect of Water Stress upon Polyamine Levels in Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Leaves 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effect of water stress on leaf polyamine content of fourHordeum vulgare varieties, Alger/Ceres, Palmella Blue, Rihaneand Roho, with different drought characters was studied After6 d without water Alger/Ceres, Palmella Blue and Rihane hadaccumulated putrescine, although only in concentrations up totwice those found in the controls, but Roho had a decreasedputrescine content. However, one common response was identified;the accumulation and subsequent loss of putrescine was dependentupon the maintenance and loss of leaf turgor respectively. Consequentlyvarietal differences in putrescine accumulation were relatedto water consumption rates and the extent of osmotic adjustment.Spermine behaved in a similar manner to putrescine but spermidinelevels always decreased. Polyamine levels were never high enoughto be an important component of solute accumulation. Prolinelevels were 150-fold higher and glycine-betaine levels 50-foldhigher than polyamines in stressed plants. Proline and glycine-betaineaccumulation occurred once a threshold turgor was reached, whichin Roho appeared to be a reduction by 02025MPa or 3040%. The importance of polyamine accumulationduring water stress is discussed. Key words: Hordeum vulgare, polyamine, water stress 相似文献

The level of the three main polyamines putrescine, spermidine, and spermine and the biosynthetic enzyme arginine decarboxylase
(ADC) decreased in Helianthus annuus L. seedlings subjected to increasing (50, 100, and 150 mm) NaCl concentrations. The pattern of polyamines in control plants increased during the initial 72 h and then reached a plateau.
The putrescine level showed an increase of 370% after 72 h of development. The lower salt treatment slightly diminished the
overall polyamine content. The highest NaCl concentration (150 mm) induced a strong putrescine diminution (from 381 to 78.9 nmol g−1 FW) at 72 h whereas a small decrease in ADC activity was detected. ODC was detected in neither control nor treated plantlets
during the experimental period. The level of spermidine also decreased, but the magnitude of the decay was less pronounced
than putrescine. The fact that ODC was not detected and ADC activity followed a pattern similar to that of putrescine led
us to suppose that the variation in putrescine content could be attributed entirely to the decrease in ADC activity. α-Difluoromethylarginine
and α-difluoromethylornithine (ADC and ODC inhibitor, respectively) did not inhibit but delayed the onset of germination of
sunflower seeds, and α-difluoromethylornithine increased the content of spermidine and spermine. The present data suggest
that polyamines could be involved in the germination process of H. annuus seeds and in response to salt stress.

Soybean plants (Glycine max L. Merr. cv. Tamahomare) accumulatesufficient putrescine and spermidine in their nodules to inhibitthe growth of bacteroids of Bradyrhizobium japonicum strain138NR. Gas-chromatographic analysis showed that the mature nodulesfrom 35-d-old plants contained approximately 1.5 µmoleseach of putrescine and spermidine per g fresh weight. Water-soluble(free) putrescine and spermidine were present at concentrationsof 0.39 and 0.13 µmoles per g fresh weight, respectively.Cadaverine and spermine were not detected in the nodules. Ina yeast-extract mannitol broth at a pH above 7.0, putrescine,cadaverine, spermidine, and spermine at more than 0.5, 0.2,0.05, and 0.05 mM, respectively, inhibited the growth of thebacteroids. The effect of the polyamines was bactericidal athigher concentrations. More than 95% of bacteroids were notable to form colonies on agar plates that contained 0.5 mM spermidineat pH 7.0. The high sensitivity to polyamines was a unique characteristicof the bacteroidform cells of this strain. The bacteroids losttheir sensitivity to the polyamines within 24 hours after theirisolation from nodules. The cultured cells of this strain multipliedin the presence of 2 mM spermidine or spermine.

The metabolic fate of [U-14C]sucrose in suspension culturesof Catharanthus roseus cells was monitored for 96 h after thecells were transferred to fresh complete (+Pi)or to phosphate-deficient Murashige and Skoog (Pi)medium. Sucrose was hydrolysed extracellularly to glucose andfructose. The rate of uptake of sugars by the cells was 1.53times higher in +Pi culture than in Piculture. Little difference in the rate of incorporation of radioactivityinto the ethanol-soluble fraction was found between the +Piand Pi cultures during the initial 24h of culture, but after 48 h the rate in +Picultures was higher than that in Pi cultures.Incorporation of radioactivity into ethanol-insoluble macromoleculeswas always significantly higher in the cells in +Picultures than in those in Pi cultures.The results suggest that Pi strongly affects the utilizationof sugars by cultured plant cells through the stimulation oftransport of sugars as well as through the activation of metabolism.

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L., cvs Golf, Mette, and Laevigatum)was grown under nitrogen limitation in solution culture untilnear maturity. Three different nitrogen addition regimes wereused: in the HN culture the relative rate of nitrate-Naddition (RA) was 0·08 d1 until day 48 and thendecreased stepwise to, finally, 0·005 d1 duringgrain-filling; the LN culture received 45% ofthe nitrogen added in HN; the CN culture was maintainedat RA 0·0375 d1 throughout. Kinetics of net nitrateuptake were measured during ontogeny at 30 to 150 mmol m3external nitrate. Vmax (which is argued to reflect the maximuminflux rate in these plants) declined with age in both HN andLN cultures. A pronounced transient drop was observed just beforeanthesis, which correlated in time with a peak in root nitrateconcentration. Similar, but less pronounced, trends were observedin CN. The relative Vmax (unit nitrogen taken up per unit nitrogenin plants and day) in all three cultures declined from 1·32·3d1 during vegetative growth to 0·10·7d1 during generative growth. These values are in HN andLN cultures 15- to more than 100-fold in excess of the demandset by growth rates throughout ontogeny. Predicted balancingnitrate concentrations (defined as the nitrate concentrationrequired to support the observed rate of growth) were below6·0 mmol m3 in HN and LN cultures before anthesisand then decreased during ontogeny. In CN cultures the balancingnitrate concentration increased during grain-filling. Apartfrom the transient decline during anthesis, most of the effectof ageing on relative Vmax can be explained in terms of reducedcontribution of roots to total biomass (R:T). The loss in uptakeper unit root weight is largely compensated for by the declinewith time in average tissue nitrogen concentrations. The quantitativerelationships between relative Vmax and R:T in ageing plantsare similar to those observed for vegetative plants culturedat different RAs. The data support the contention that the capacity for nitrateacquisition in N-limited plants is under general growth control,rather than controlled by specific regulation of the biochemicalpathway of nitrate assimilation.

This study was conducted with Lolium temulentum, Festuca pratensis,and the two hybrids L. multiflorum x F. pratensis Elmetand L. perenne x F. pratensis Prior. In a comparisonof various durations (742 d) of pretreatment at 4 or7 °C the highest yield of microspore-derived callus of L.temulentum was obtained after pretreatment of spikes at 7 °Cfor 28 d, conditions which also proved optimal for panicle pretreatmentwith F. pratensis. For Elmet, durations of 2142d were optimal, and for Prior the responses tendedto decline with increasing duration.

Growth of the Vicia faba seedling is accompanied by a rapid15-day increase in amine oxidase activity of the apical parts.Cotyledons and roots were found to be devoid of activity. Thepartially purified enzyme from leaves readily oxidized putrescine,cadaverine, agmatine and spermidine, while dopamine (3-hydroxytyramine)and L- and D-lysine were oxidized more slowly. The Km valueswere 1.9?103 M for cadaverine, 3.7?105 M for putrescine,7.8?104 M for spermidine, and 5.9?103 M for dopamine.Carbonyl reagents and copper-binding agents were effective inhibitorsof Vicia faba amine oxidase. The diethyldithiocarbamate-treatedenzyme could be reactivated specifically by cupric copper. (Received May 25, 1977; ) 相似文献

The Sensitivity of Net Photosynthesis in Several Plant Species to Short-term Fumigation with Sulphur Dioxide 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The effects of exposure of up to 2 h with sulphur dioxide ona range of plant species was observed by measuring changes inthe rate of net photosynthesis under closely controlled environmentalconditions. Ryegrass, Lolium perenne S23 was thespecies most sensitive to SO2; significant inhibition was detectedat 200 nl l1. Fumigations at 300 nl l1 also inhibitedphotosynthesis in field bean (Vicia faba cv. Three FoldWhite and Blaze) and in barley (Hordeumvulgare cv. Sonja). No effect was detected inwheat (Triticum aestivum cv. Virtue) at concentrationsup to 600 nl l1 SO2, or in oil-seed rape (Brassica napuscv. Rafal) except at 800 nl l1 SO2). Recoverycommenced immediately after the fumigation was terminated andwas complete within 2 h when inhibition had not exceeded 20%during the SO2 treatment.

Polyamines and Adventitious Root Formation in the Juvenile and Mature Phase of English Ivy 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The involvement of polyamines during adventitious root formationwas evaluated using a de-bladed petiole rooting assay for theeasy-to-root juvenile and difficult-to-root mature phase ofEnglish ivy (Hedera helix L.). Auxin (NAA 0.1 mM) stimulatedroot formation in juvenile phase cuttings, but failed to promoterooting in the mature phase. The addition of putrescine, spermineor spennidine (1.0 mM) with or without NAA (0.1 mM) did notaffect the rooting response in either the juvenile or maturephase cuttings. There was a significant increase in endogenouslevels of putrescine and spermidine in NAA-treated cuttings,but the only significant difference between the root formingjuvenile and the non-root forming mature phase cuttings wasan increase in putrescine levels. In NAA-treated juvenile cuttings,the polyamine biosynthesis inhibitor DFMA (1.0 mM) promotedroot formation from 9.2 to 14.5 roots per cutting, while DFMO(1.0 mM) reduced root formation from 9.1 to 1.4 roots per cutting.The promotion of rooting by DFMA was completely reversed byputrescine (1.0 mM), but putrescine, spermine or spermidine(1.0 mM) could not reverse the inhibitory effect of DFMO. NeitherDFMA nor DFMO promoted root formation in mature phase cuttings.DFMA was also added to NAA-treated juvenile petioles at variousstages during the root formation process. DFMA promoted rootingwhen applied during the early stages of root induction (03d), but became inhibitory to root formation when applied duringthe organization (69 d) or root elongation stages (912d).

The effect of the leafless mutation (in whichtendrils replace leaflets and the stipules are reduced to avestigial form) upon foliage area, photosynthetic net CO2 uptakepotential, dry matter production and seed yield in Pisum sativumwas studied by comparing two near-isogenic lines of genotypeafafstst and ++++. The mutation is of potential agronomic valuein that it offers improved lodging resistance, crop drying andharvester throughput. In the conventional phenotype the total foliage area of themain axis attained a plateau (456 cm2) at day 56 from seedlingemergence, whereas corresponding values for the leaflessmutant showed a total area of 208 cm2 at day 68 with no indicationof a plateau. The agronomic consequence of this is discussed.During the vegetative phase of the plant the maximum CO2 uptakepotential in the fully expanded conventional leaf was 8·5mg CO2 leaf1 h1 and in the leaflessmutant this value was 7·0 mg CO2 leaf1 h1.For most leaves of the latter phenotype this valuewas between 30 and 60 per cent less than for their conventionalcounterpart. There was a consistently higher photosyntheticpotential per unit area in tendrils of the leaflessmutant than in leaflets of the conventional phenotype. The respectivemean specific values for the two phenotypes were 53 and 37 mgCO2 dm2 h1. The problem of obtaining a meaningfulsurface area value for tendrils is discussed and the cylindricalnature of tendrils is taken into account. The leafless mutant consistently accumulated 50per cent less dry matter than did conventional plants in theperiod from seedling emergence to anthesis and yield of maturedry seed per plant showed a reduction of 50 per cent both inseed number and total seed weight. The implications for future breeding and selection programmesaimed at haulm reduction are discussed in relation to evaluatingthe ability of the background genotype to produce adequate tendrilsin the presence of afafstst.

Plantlets of Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Sirtema were used to studythe regulation of the long-distance transport of potassium.The effects of polyamines and two plant hormones, abscisic acid(ABA) and benzyladenine (BA), on this process were investigated.Foliar sprays of putrescine or BA increased the transport of(K) 86Rb to the upper part of the plant. In contrast, spermidinetreatment enhanced the translocation into the growing tuber,as did ABA. These specific effects were partially correlatedto the distribution of endogenous polyamines within the plant.Spermidine was the predominant polyamine in the tuber whileputrescine was as abundant as spermidine in the leaves. Thetotal amount of putrescine, spermidine and spermine decreasedwith the physiological age of the leaves and tubers. Moreover,from heat-girdling experiments, it was shown that the polyamine,14C-putrescine, supplied to a leaf, was transported via thephloem. It is suggested that polyamines like phytohormones havea regulatory role in long-distance transport.

The role of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in polyamine metabolism has long been established, but the exact source of ornithine has always been unclear. The arginase enzymes are capable of producing ornithine for the production of polyamines and may hold important regulatory functions in the maintenance of this pathway. Utilizing our unique set of arginase single and double knockout mice, we analyzed polyamine levels in the livers, brains, kidneys, and small intestines of the mice at 2 wk of age, the latest timepoint at which all of them are still alive, to determine whether tissue polyamine levels were altered in response to a disruption of arginase I (AI) and II (AII) enzymatic activity. Whereas putrescine was minimally increased in the liver and kidneys from the AII knockout mice, spermidine and spermine were maintained. ODC activity was not greatly altered in the knockout animals and did not correlate with the fluctuations in putrescine. mRNA levels of ornithine aminotransferase (OAT), antizyme 1 (AZ1), and spermidine/spermine-N1-acetyltransferase (SSAT) were also measured and only minor alterations were seen, most notably an increase in OAT expression seen in the liver of AI knockout and double knockout mice. It appears that putrescine catabolism may be affected in the liver when AI is disrupted and ornithine levels are highly reduced. These results suggest that endogenous arginase-derived ornithine may not directly contribute to polyamine homeostasis in mice. Alternate sources such as diet may provide sufficient polyamines for maintenance in mammalian tissues. ornithine; putrescine; spermidine; spermine; decarboxylase 相似文献

Drakeford, D. R., Mukherjee, I. and Reid, D. M. 1985. Some earlyresponses of Helianthus annuus L. to flooding. I. The effectsof flooding on the uptake and leakage of non-electrolytesby roots.J. exp. Bot. 36: 17051715. The object of this work was to examine some of the early effectsof flooding on roots. A hydroponic system was developed thatgave good control over watering, degree of oxygenation of thebathing medium and allowed measurement of short term changesin the composition of the bathing medium. Excised roots, floodedfor 24 h, were shown to take up less [3H) ß-alaninethan non-flooded roots and also leaked more [3H] ß-alanineinto a distilled water bathing medium. Further, flooded excisedroots lost more protein to the bathing medium, with young(57 d) roots showing greater losses than old(1114 d) roots. However, young roots had more proteinin the tissue even after greater loss. Young roots remainedhealthier and lost less fresh weight than old roots. Abscisicacid was shown to have a small role in protecting youngroots from the effects of flooding. Key words: ABA, abscisic acid, anaerobic, flooding, leakage, roots, uptake, waterlogging 相似文献
