异质养分环境中一年生分蘖草本黍根系的生长特征

为揭示黍（Panicum miliaceum L.)根系对异质养分环境的生长反应,作研究了黍根系从起始斑块向目标斑块水平生长时,时始斑块和目标斑块养分水平根生长的影响,就低养分起始珏块而言,粗根生物量,粗根长度,粗根表面积和细极长度在高养分目标斑块中的分配比例均小于其在低养分目标斑块中的分配比例,而细根长度及其密度,细根表面积指及其密度的变化恰好相反,就高养分起始斑块而言,高养分目标斑块的细根长度,细根长度密度,细根表面积指数和细根表面积密均不于低养分目标斑块,而粗根对目标斑块中养分状的反应不明显。当黍根系从桢的起始斑块进入不同的目标斑块后,目标斑块的养分状况对细根生物量及其分配无影响,而显影响细根长度和表现积,这指示细根是通过长度和表面积可塑性而不是生物量变化响应目标斑块中的养分差异。

AgNO_3对颠茄毛状根生物碱及关键酶基因表达的影响

为了研究不同浓度AgNO_3对颠茄毛状根生长过程中托品烷类生物碱及影响其合成关键酶基因表达的影响,该研究使用五种不同浓度的AgNO_3处理黑暗培养12 d的颠茄毛状根,2 d后收集毛状根并测定其鲜、干质量、托品烷类生物碱的含量、部分生理指标(MDA、Pro、可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白)、关键酶基因(pmt、trI、h6h)表达量。结果表明:AgNO_3虽然抑制了颠茄毛状根的生长,但却促进了托品烷类生物碱的积累,与对照相比,50、100、150μmol·L~(-1)处理均显著性地提高了托品烷类生物碱的产量。同时在150μmol·L~(-1)处理下,毛状根代谢途径中MDA与对照相比均具有显著性的提高,脯氨酸含量在150μmol·L~(-1)下也有了显著性提高,达到了5.92μg·g~(-1)FM,是对照的2.91倍。可溶性糖与可溶性蛋白含量在150μmol·L~(-1)浓度下处理时其含量分别是对照的1.55倍和1.67倍。托品烷类生物碱合成过程中关键酶基因(pmt、trI、h6h)的表达量在不同浓度AgNO_3处理下均有不同程度的提高。由此可以推断,AgNO_3在150μmol·L~(-1)处理下,可能通过调控脯氨酸、可溶性蛋白、可溶性糖这几种初级代谢产物或某几种关键酶基因的表达来影响颠茄毛状根托品烷类的合成。     

Root Growth Inhibitors from Root Cap and Root Meristem of Zea mays L.

A micro-assay based on the growth inhibition of root segmentsof the seminal roots of Zea mays has been used to investigatethe root-growth-inhibiting substances in root caps and meristemsrespectively of the roots of Zea mays. This micro-assay is sensitiveto 50 pg of IAA or less. Paper chromatography of the acid fractionof methanolic extracts shows the presence of one main inhibitorin root caps and a different main inhibitor in root meristems.Neither is IAA, whose presence in meristems is sometimes indicatedby small inhibitions (or stimulations) at the characteristicRf of IAA. A Commelina leaf-epidermis assay shows the presenceof one stomata-closing ABA-like substance in root caps and onein meristems, one corresponding in Rf to the main root-growthinhibitor from the root cap. The implications of these findingsfor the geotropic responses of roots is briefly discussed.     

Dependence of Root Cell Growth and Division on Root Diameter

Primary roots of 98 species from different families of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants and adventitious roots obtained from bulbs and rhizomes of 24 monocot species were studied. Root growth rate, root diameter, length of the meristem and elongation zones, number of meristematic cells in a file of cortical cells, and length of fully elongated cells were evaluated in each species after the onset of steady growth. The mitotic cycle duration and relative cell elongation rate were calculated. In all species, the meristem length was approximately equal to two root diameters. When comparing different species, the rate of root growth increased with a larger root diameter. This was due to an increase in the number of meristematic cells in a row and, to a lesser degree, to a greater length of fully elongated cells. The duration of the mitotic cycle and the relative cell elongation rate did not correlate with the root diameter. It is suggested that the meristem size depends on the level of nutrient inflow from upper tissues, and is thereby controlled during further growth.     

Shoot and Root Growth of Lettuce Seedlings Following Root Pruning

Hydroponically-grown lettuce seedlings with 13 to 18 primarylateral roots were root pruned in one of four ways; the rootapices were removed from the main root only (1) or from allthe root membranes (2), or half the total root system was removedwith the remaining apices left intact (3) or removed (4). Duringthe following 8 d the rate of lateral root production on prunedplants increased, decreased, and then increased again relativeto the unpruned control. Conversely, the rate of increase intotal root length decreased, then increased, and if all theroot apices were removed, declined again, prior to increasingon day 8. These changes in the rates of lateral root productionand growth resulted in similar, but less pronounced, patternsof change in the total root length and the total number of lateralroots with time. The changes in total lateral root productionwere related to differences in the rates of primary, secondaryand tertiary root emergence. The shoot d. wt of the most severely root pruned seedlings (treatment4) fell below that of the control 4 d after pruning and remainedlower than the control on day 14, whereas the root d. wt hadrecovered to the control level by day 6. The root: shoot d.wt ratio, which was reduced by root pruning, rose above thatof the control on days 6 and 8.

The Effect of Coumarin on Root Growth and Root Histology

The effect of coumarin on the root growth was studied on roots from intact plants, isolated roots and isolated elongating zones. All material was cultivated aseptically. A new method was developed for sterile culture of intact plants in flowing nutrient medium. The effects on cell division and cell elongation were studied separately. An effect on both these processes can be established at all concentrations that affect the root growth. The concentration-growth curve has an “all-or-none” appearance. Coumarin inhibits the transverse divisions in all cell layers; the perivascular layers seem to be more sensitive. Also the mitotic activity that is involved in the initiation of laterals is inhibited. The longitudinal divisions within the stele are enhanced. Coumarin decreases the cell length in all cell layers, most likely with greater relative sensitivity in the perivascular layers. Studies on the time course of cell elongation in both attached corn roots and isolated elongating zones reveal that the decrease in cell length is caused exclusively by a decrease in the maximal rate of elongation, whereas the duration of the elongation is unchanged. With each decrease of the cell length, the cell diameter is increased. The two changes are intimately connected within the greater part of the active region of concentration. Studies on the time course of the radial expansion in isolated elongating zones show a strict connection in time between cell elongation and radial expansion. The radial expansion leads to unchanged or increased cell volume at most concentrations and for most cell types. Coumarin causes an inhibition of the longitudinally directed processes and a stimulation of the radially directed ones. This is interpreted as indicating that the formative system is disengaged or reorientated, i.e., the polarity of the cells is changed. Through experiments partly with isolated elongating zones and partly by disruption of the linear phase by means of mannitol, the inhibitory effect of coumarin could be localized to the first non-linear phase of the elongation. The results were compared with earlier findings in the literature. The microtubuli are proposed as a conceivable main Component in the formative system common to both cell division and cell elongation. These are assumed to be affected by changes in the SH/SS balance produced by coumarin.     

Root Growth, Secondary Root Formation and Root Gravitropism in Carotenoid-deficient Seedlings of Zea mays L.

The effect of ABA on root growth, secondary-root formation androot gravitropism in seedlings of Zea mays was investigatedby using Fluridone-treated seedlings and a viviparous mutant,both of which lack carotenoids and ABA. Primary roots of seedlingsgrown in the presence of Fluridone grew significantly slowerthan those of control (i.e. untreated) roots. Elongation ofFluridone-treated roots was inhibited significantly by the exogenousapplication of 1 mM ABA. Exogenous application of 1 µMand 1 nM ABA had either no effect or only a slight stimulatoryeffect on root elongation, depending on the method of application.The absence of ABA in Fluridone-treated plants was not an importantfactor in secondary-root formation in seedlings less than 9–10d old. However, ABA may suppress secondary-root formation inolder seedlings, since 11-d-old control seedlings had significantlyfewer secondary roots than Fluridone-treated seedlings. Rootsof Fluridone-treated and control seedlings were graviresponsive.Similar data were obtained for vp-9 mutants of Z. mays, whichare phenotypically identical to Fluridone-treated seedlings.These results indicate that ABA is necessary for neither secondary-rootformation nor for positive gravitropism by primary roots.

Effect of Root Moisture Content and Diameter on Root Tensile Properties

The stabilization of slopes by vegetation has been a topical issue for many years. Root mechanical characteristics significantly influence soil reinforcement; therefore it is necessary to research into the indicators of root tensile properties. In this study, we explored the influence of root moisture content on tensile resistance and strength with different root diameters and for different tree species. Betula platyphylla, Quercus mongolica, Pinus tabulaeformis, and Larix gmelinii, the most popular tree species used for slope stabilization in the rocky mountainous areas of northern China, were used in this study. A tensile test was conducted after root samples were grouped by diameter and moisture content. The results showedthat:1) root moisture content had a significant influence on tensile properties; 2) slightly loss of root moisture content could enhance tensile strength, but too much loss of water resulted in weaker capacity for root elongation, and consequently reduced tensile strength; 3) root diameter had a strong positive correlation with tensile resistance; and4) the roots of Betula platyphylla had the best tensile properties when both diameter and moisture content being controlled. These findings improve our understanding of root tensile properties with root size and moisture, and could be useful for slope stabilization using vegetation.     

Effect of Root Position on Measured Root Position on Measured Root Membrane Potentials

Root membrane potentials were measured by interposing a plantroot between two KCI solutions of different concentrations.The potentials measured across the two calomel electrodes werefound to depend on the position of the root. The potentialswere found to be lower when the root tip rather than the rootbase was in contact with the more concentrated solution. Thisindicates that the two parts of the root do not have the samein transport properties. Using an approximate theoretical treatmentthe observed potentials could be accounted for.     

Root Density and Water Potential Gradients near the Plant Root

The models of Gardner (1960) and Cowan (1965) for water transferto the plant root are used to estimate the differences in waterpotential between the root and the bulk soil for a wide rangeof root densities and water extraction rates at a series ofmatric potentials for a Yolo light clay. For root densities and extraction rates reported both in theliterature and in this paper there is good evidence to suggestthat the large potential gradients originally predicted by Gardnerand Cowan are restricted to situations involving very low rootdensities and high extraction rates in relatively dry soil.     

根瘤形成过程中豆科植物根毛和根外层传递细胞的诱发

对7种豆科植物接种根瘤菌后根部的形态和内部结构进行了研究.结果表明:根瘤菌可诱发根瘤形成部位根段的根毛增生、形变和根外层传递细胞的发育.根外层传递细胞发生在根毛伸长形变时期,一直可持续到根瘤形成,传递细胞壁内突发育过程是先由根表皮细胞外切向壁一侧细胞质膜向细胞质内陷形成囊状壁傍体,次生细胞壁物质在初生壁上沉积并逐渐充满囊状体,最终形成传递细胞典型的壁内突结构.根瘤形成过程中根外层传递细胞的诱发与培养方式(水培、固培)没有直接关系.在不接菌的对照苗的根段内未发现壁内突结构,研究证明豆科植物根外层传递细胞的形成是由根瘤菌诱导所致.     

Root Cap and Georeaction

CIRCULATING lymphoid cells suffer alterations in a localized disease, chronic viral keratitis; we have established long term lymphoctye cultures from the blood of such patients¹. We have used capillary migration technique to study cellular immunity in the disease. Leucocytes from patients were challenged with corneal antigen and with the virus which had initiated the infection^2,3. Migration inhibition is specific for the antigen to which the animal is sensitive and on contact with antigen, sensitized lymphocytes produce migratory inhibitory factor (MIF).
