Hydrogen peroxide is involved in abscisic acid-induced adventitious rooting in cucumber (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Cucumis sativus</Emphasis> L.) under drought stress

Abscisic acid (ABA) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) are important regulatory factors involved in plant development under adversity stress. Here, the involvement of H₂O₂ in ABA-induced adventitious root formation in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) under drought stress was determined. The results indicated that exogenous ABA or H₂O₂ promoted adventitious rooting under drought stress, with a maximal biological response at 0.5 μM ABA or 800 μM H₂O₂. The promotive effects of ABA-induced adventitious rooting under drought stress were suppressed by CAT or DPI, suggesting that endogenous H₂O₂ might be involved in ABA-induced adventitious rooting. ABA increased relative water content (RWC), leaf chlorophyll content, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (Fv/Fm, ΦPS II and qP), water soluble carbohydrate (WSC) and soluble protein content, and peroxidase (POD), polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and indoleacetate oxidase (IAAO) activities, while decreasing transpiration rate. However, the effects of ABA were inhibited by H₂O₂ scavenger CAT. Therefore, H₂O₂ may be involved in ABA-induced adventitious root development under drought stress by stimulating water and chlorophyll content, chlorophyll fluorescence, carbohydrate and nitrogen content, as well as some enzyme activities.

Ca<Superscript>2+</Superscript> and CaM are Involved in NO- and H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>2</Subscript>-Induced Adventitious Root Development in Marigold

Our previous results have demonstrated that both nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) are involved in the promotion of adventitious root development in marigold (Tagetes erecta L.). However, not much is known about the intricate molecular network of adventitious root development triggered by NO and H₂O₂. In this study, the involvement of calcium (Ca²⁺) and calmodulin (CaM) in NO- and H₂O₂-induced adventitious rooting in marigold was investigated. Exogenous Ca²⁺ was capable of promoting adventitious rooting, with a maximal biological response at 50 μM CaCl₂. Ca²⁺ chelators and CaM antagonists prevented NO- and H₂O₂-induced adventitious rooting, indicating that both endogenous Ca²⁺ and CaM may play crucial roles in the adventitious rooting induced by NO and H₂O₂. NO and H₂O₂ treatments increased the endogenous content of Ca²⁺ and CaM, suggesting that NO and H₂O₂ enhanced adventitious rooting by stimulating the endogenous Ca²⁺ and CaM levels. Moreover, treatment with Ca²⁺ enhanced the endogenous levels of NO and H₂O₂. Additionally, Ca²⁺ might be involved as an upstream signaling molecule for CaM during NO- and H₂O₂-induced rooting. Altogether, the results suggest that both Ca²⁺ and CaM are two downstream signaling molecules in adventitious rooting induced by NO and H₂O₂.

取四倍体刺槐3年生采穗圃中当年生枝条为插穗,研究了外源激素种类、浓度、处理时间对硬枝插穗生根的影响及生根过程中3种关联酶吲哚乙酸氧化酶(IAAO)、过氧化物酶(POD)和多酚氧化酶(PPO)活性变化规律,以揭示四倍体刺槐插穗生根难的机理.结果显示:(1)四倍体刺槐硬枝插穗生根过程可分愈伤组织诱导期(0～20d)、根源基诱导期(20～30 d)、不定根表达与伸长期(30～45 d)3个阶段.(2)未经外源激素处理的插穗不生根,而激素处理可显著提高插穗生根率,促进根系发育,且IBA处理效果优于GGR6;激素处理浓度与时间无显著互作效应,但插穗生根综合效果随着处理时间和浓度的增加而升高;插穗的平均生根量和生根率在1 000 mg?L-1IBA处理6 h时达到最高,分别为11.74和55.56%.(3)IAAO、PPO是影响四倍体刺槐生根的关键酶,POD影响较小;外源激素处理插穗内IAAO和PPO活性呈先升高后下降的趋势,且均在根源基诱导期达到峰值;对照插穗内IAAO活性峰值出现在愈伤组织诱导期,而其PPO活性一直降低;激素处理和对照插穗内POD活性随着处理时间持续升高.研究表明,外源IBA和GGR6处理均可明显改变与四倍体刺槐插穗生根密切关联的氧化酶IAAO和PPO活性,提高生根率,促进根系发育,且IBA处理效果优于GGR6.     

The interaction between H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>2</Subscript> and NO,Ca<Superscript>2+</Superscript>, cGMP,and MAPKs during adventitious rooting in mung bean seedlings

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), an active oxygen species, is widely generated in many biological systems and mediates various physiological and biochemical processes in plants. In the present study, we present a signaling network involving H₂O₂, nitric oxide (NO), calcium (Ca²⁺), cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade during adventitious rooting in mung bean seedlings. Both exogenous H₂O₂ and the NO donor sodium nitroprussiate were capable of promoting the formation and development of adventitious roots. H₂O₂ and NO signaling pathways were elicited in parallel in auxin-induced adventitious rooting. Cytosolic Ca²⁺ was required for adventitious rooting, and Ca²⁺ served as a downstream component of H₂O₂, as well as cGMP or MAPK, signaling cascades. cGMP and MAPK cascades function downstream of H₂O₂ signaling and depend on auxin responses in adventitious root signaling processes.     

Promotion of adventitious root formation by 4-chlororesorcinol: A polyphenol oxidase inhibitor

The extent of rooting in cuttings of Phaseolus vulgaris L., and Vigna radiata Wilcz. was affected by 4-chlororesorcinol, a polyphenol oxidase inhibitor. More root primordia and more roots were formed after 4-chlororesorcinol treatment both with and without 10^-5M Indole butyric acid. Promotion of rooting was observed also in cuttings of Elaeagnus pungens, Gypsophilia elegans and Kalanchoe blossfeldiana. The enhancement in bean and mung bean was accompanied by a concomitant wider spatial distribution of the primordia and the resulting adventitious roots. The formation of primordia in the treated cuttings was delayed by 12–24 hours, compared to untreated cuttings. The treatment was effective only when given during the first hours after the preparation of the cutting of bean and mung bean, suggesting involvement in the initiation stage. Hypocotyl extracts of mung bean cuttings, pretreated with 4-chlororesorcinol, exhibited reduced polyphenol oxidase activity. The inhibition was not reversed by washing of the treated extract in 50% acetone or by an overnight dialysis, suggesting tight or maybe even irreversible binding of the inhibitor to the enzyme.Abbreviations 4-CR 4-chlororesorcinol - IBA Indole butyric acid - PPO polyphenol oxidase

Effects of extracellular ATP on local and systemic responses of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) leaves to wounding

Wounding increased the extracellular Adenosine 5?-triphosphate (eATP) level of kidney bean leaves. Treatment with wounding or exogenous ATP increased the hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) content, activities of catalase and polyphenol oxidase, and malondialdehyde content in both the treated and systemic leaves. Pre-treatment with ATP-degrading enzyme, apyrase, to the wounded leaves reduced the wound-induced local and systemic increases in H₂O₂ content, activities of catalase and polyphenol oxidase, and malondialdehyde content. Application of dimethylthiourea (DMTU) and diphenylene iodonium (DPI) to the wounded and ATP-treated leaves, respectively, reduced the wound- and ATP-induced local and systemic increases in H₂O₂ content, activities of catalase and polyphenol oxidase, and malondialdehyde content. Moreover, the wound- and ATP-induced systemic increases of these physiological parameters were suppressed when DMTU or DPI applied to leaf petiole of the wounded and ATP-treated leaves. These results suggest that eATP at wounded sites could mediate the wound-induced local and systemic responses by H₂O₂-dependent signal transduction.     

Hydrogen Peroxide Is a Second Messenger in the Salicylic Acid-Triggered Adventitious Rooting Process in Mung Bean Seedlings

In plants, salicylic acid (SA) is a signaling molecule that regulates disease resistance responses, such as systemic acquired resistance (SAR) and hypertensive response (HR). SA has been implicated as participating in various biotic and abiotic stresses. This study was conducted to investigate the role of SA in adventitious root formation (ARF) in mung bean (Phaseolus radiatus L) hypocotyl cuttings. We observed that hypocotyl treatment with SA could significantly promote the adventitious root formation, and its effects were dose and time dependent. Explants treated with SA displayed a 130% increase in adventitious root number compared with control seedlings. The role of SA in mung bean hypocotyl ARF as well as its interaction with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) were also elucidated. Pretreatment of mung bean explants with N, N’-dimethylthiourea (DMTU), a scavenger for H₂O₂, resulted in a significant reduction of SA-induced ARF. Diphenyleneiodonium (DPI), a specific inhibitor of membrane-linked NADPH oxidase, also inhibited the effect of adventitious rooting triggered by SA treatment. The determination of the endogenous H₂O₂ level indicated that the seedlings treated with SA could induce H₂O₂ accumulation compared with the control treatment. Our results revealed a distinctive role of SA in the promotion of adventitious rooting via the process of H₂O₂ accumulation. This conclusion was further supported by antioxidant enzyme activity assays. Based on these results, we conclude that the accumulation of free H₂O₂ might be a downstream event in response to SA-triggered adventitious root formation in mung bean seedlings.     

Role and relationship of nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide in adventitious root development of marigold

Several lines of evidence suggest that nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) are important signal molecules involved in plant development and other physiological processes. Marigold (Tagetes erecta L. ‘Marvel’) was used to understand the role and relationship of NO and H₂O₂ in adventitious root development of plants. The results showed that the effects of H₂O₂ or NO on adventitious root organogenesis of explants were dose dependent, with maximal biological responses at 200 μM H₂O₂ or 50 μM NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP). The results also indicated the importance of both putative NO synthase (NOS)-like and nitrate reductase (NR) enzymes, which might be responsible for the production of NO in explants during rooting. Additionally, guanosine 3′, 5′ -cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) was involved in NO- induced root formation of marigold, but it was not involved in H₂O₂- mediated rooting process. The root number and length of explants treated with NO and H₂O₂ simultaneously were significantly higher than those of explants treated with H₂O₂ or NO alone. Moreover, NO treatments enhanced endogenous H₂O₂ levels in hypocotyls. Together, these results indicate that NO and H₂O₂ play crucial roles in the adventitious root development of marigold explants both synergistically and independently.     

The lose of juvenility elicits adventitious rooting recalcitrance in apple rootstocks

For perennial woody plants, softwood cutting is an efficient technique for larger scale propagation and adventitious rooting of cuttings is one of the most crucial steps. To evaluate the significance of juvenility on adventitious rooting, rooting rates was compared between softwood cuttings collected from apomictic seedlings (juvenile), in vitro cultured plants (rejuvenated), suckers (juvenile like) and canopy shoots (adult) of reproductively mature trees in Malus xiaojinensis. After pre-treatment with indole-3-butytric acid (IBA) (3,000 mg L^?1) + H₂O₂ (50 mM), rooting rates in cutting from juvenile, juvenile like and rejuvenated donor plants were significantly higher (>90 %) than that from adult trees. The effects of IBA on adventitious rooting were enhanced significantly by exogenous H₂O₂. After 15 passages of in vitro subculture, the micro-shoots from adult phase explants were rejuvenated successfully, marked by the elevated expression of miR156 in the leaflets of the micro-shoots. But the rooting ability of rejuvenated micro-shoots was recovered delayed at the 18th or 21st passage of subculture. During the process of rejuvenation, the leaf indole-3-acetic acid contents and the expressions of rooting related genes CKI1, ARRO-1, ARF7 and ARF19 increased significantly. In contrary, the leaf abscisic acid contents decreased. A lack of juvenility is the most important limiting factor governing adventitious rooting of softwood cuttings in apple rootstocks.     

Influence of elevated CO2 and O3 on IAA, IAA oxidase and peroxidase in the leaves of ginkgo trees

This study examined the impacts of elevated CO₂ or O₃ on indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) content, activities of IAA oxidase (IAAO) and peroxidase (POD) in Ginkgo biloba leaves. Plants grown in open-top chambers were exposed to ambient atmosphere (control; C), elevated CO₂ and elevated O₃ from 1 June to 30 September. An increase in IAA content and decrease in IAAO and POD activities were observed in plants exposed to elevated CO₂ compared with C. Elevated O₃ had no significant effect on IAA content and IAAO activity, but increased POD activity during the early days. When trees pre-exposed to elevated CO₂ were transferred to elevated O₃ or C, the increase in IAAO activity resulted in the decrease in IAA content. When trees pre-exposed to elevated O₃ were transferred to elevated CO₂ or C, IAA content, IAAO and POD activities showed no significant changes. The influence of POD activity on the IAA activity was low.     

插壤温度对四倍体刺槐硬枝插条生根过程中生理生化的影响

取四倍体刺槐3年生采穗圃中1年生硬枝插条为材料,研究扦插过程中插壤温度对插穗内源激素含量、酶活性和营养物质含量的影响,揭示四倍体刺槐扦插生根机制。结果表明：四倍体刺槐硬枝扦插过程中,插壤经加热处理,插穗内源IAA含量降低,ABA和ZR含量升高;根原基诱导期插穗内源IAA含量的变化趋势与未加热插穗相反,ABA和ZR含量的变化趋势与未加热插穗相同。插壤经加热处理,插穗IAAO、PPO和POD活性的变化趋势与未加热插穗相同,两处理间插穗IAAO、PPO和POD活性差异不显著。插壤经加热处理,可显著提高插穗可溶性蛋白和可溶性糖含量,而对淀粉和植物总氮含量的影响差异不显著。因此,插壤加热处理,主要是通过降低四倍体刺槐硬枝插穗内源IAA含量,提高插穗可溶性蛋白和可溶性糖含量来促进插条不定根发生。

Temporal changes in the growth, saponin content and antioxidant defense in the adventitious roots of Panax ginseng subjected to nitric oxide elicitation

Nitric oxide (NO) is a diffusible, gaseous signaling molecule. In plants, NO influences growth and development, and it can also affect plant responses to various stresses. Because NO induces root differentiation and interacts with reactive oxygen species, we examined the temporal effect of NO elicitation on root growth, saponin accumulation and antioxidant defense responses in the adventitious roots of mountain ginseng (Panax ginseng). The observations revealed that NO is involved in root growth and saponin production. Elicitation with sodium nitroprusside (SNP) activated O₂ ⁻-generating NADPH oxidase (NOX) activity, which most probably subsequently enhanced growth of adventitious roots of mountain ginseng. A severe inhibition of NOX activity and decline in dry weight of SNP elicited adventitious roots in the presence of NOX inhibitor (diphenyl iodonium, DPI), which further supports involvement of NOX in root growth. Enhanced activities of antioxidant enzymes by SNP appear to be responsible for low H₂O₂, less lipid peroxidation, and modulation of ascorbate and non-protein thiol statuses in the adventitious roots of mountain ginseng. Dry mass, saponin content and NOX activity was related with NO content present in adventitious roots of mountain ginseng.     

Hydrogen peroxide acts as a signal molecule in the adventitious root formation of mung bean seedlings

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), an active oxygen species, is widely generated in many biological systems and mediates various physiological and biochemical processes in plants. In this study we demonstrated that the exogenous H₂O₂ was able to promote the formation and development of adventitious roots in mung bean seedlings. Treatments with 1–100 mM H₂O₂ for 8–18 h significantly induced the formation and development of adventitious roots. Catalase (CAT) and ascorbic acid, which are H₂O₂ scavengers or inhibitors, eliminated the adventitious root-promoting effects of exogenous H₂O₂. H₂O₂ may have a downstream signaling function in the auxin signaling pathway and be involved in auxin-induced adventitious root formation. 2,3,5-Triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA), an inhibitor of auxin polar transport, strongly inhibited adventitious rooting of mung bean seedlings; however, the inhibiting effects of TIBA on adventitious rooting can be partially reversed by the exogenous IBA or H₂O₂. Diphenylene iodonium (DPI) strongly inhibits the activity of NADPH oxidase, which is one of the main sources of H₂O₂ formation in plant cells. DPI treatment strongly inhibited the formation of adventitious roots in mung bean, but the inhibitory effects of DPI on rooting can be partially reversed by the exogenous H₂O₂ or IBA. This indicates that the formation of adventitious roots was blocked once the generation of H₂O₂ through NADPH oxidase was inhibited, and H₂O₂ mediated the IBA-induced adventitious root formation. Furthermore, a rapid increase in the endogenous level of H₂O₂ was detected during incubation with water 12–36 h after the primary root removal in mung bean seedlings. Three hours after the primary root removal, the generation of endogenous H₂O₂ was markedly induced in IBA-treated seedlings in comparison with water-treated seedlings. This implies that IBA induced overproduction of H₂O₂ in mung bean seedlings, and that IBA promoted adventitious root formation via a pathway involving H₂O₂. Results obtained suggest that H₂O₂ may function as a signaling molecule involved in the formation and development of adventitious roots in mung bean seedlings.     

Function of nitric oxide and superoxide anion in the adventitious root development and antioxidant defence in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Panax ginseng</Emphasis>

The involvement of NO in O₂ ^·− generation, rootlet development and antioxidant defence were investigated in the adventitious root cultures of mountain ginseng. Treatments of NO producers (SNP, sodium nitroprusside; SNAP, S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine; and sodium nitrite with ascorbic acid), and NO scavenger (PTIO, 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl3-oxide) revealed that NO is involved in the induction of new rootlets. Severe decline in number of new rootlets compared to the control under PTIO treatment indicates that NO acts downstream of auxin action in the process. NO producers (SNP, SNAP and sodium nitrite with ascorbic acid) activated NADPH oxidase activity, resulting in greater O₂ ^·− generation and higher number of new rootlets in the adventitious root explants. Moreover, treatment of diphenyliodonium chloride, a NADPH oxidase inhibitor, individually or along with SNP, inhibited root growth, NADPH oxidase activity and O₂ ^·− anion generation. NO supply also enhanced the activities of antioxidant enzymes that are likely to be responsible for reducing H₂O₂ levels and lipid peroxidation as well as modulation of ascorbate and non-protein thiol concentrations in the adventitious roots. Our results suggest that NO-induced generation of O₂ ^·− by activating NADPH oxidase activity is related to adventitious root formation in mountain ginseng.
