To determine the role of adventitious roots in supplying water to Ipomoea pes-caprae (L.) Sweet (Convolvulaceae), we examined the effects of water deficit on water uptake and the growth patterns of leaves and
shoots. After stopping the water supply from the primary root or adventitious roots, the water-uptake rate of the other root
system increased steeply within 90–100 min to a level of 90% of the pretreatment water-uptake rate of the whole plant. Thus,
the primary and adventitious roots can compensate for a decrease in the water-uptake rate of the whole plant caused by dehydration.
The continuous growth of leaves and shoots after dehydration suggests that an increase in the water-uptake rate by either
root system can support plant growth, although the growth rates of immature leaves in plants with no water supply from the
primary or adventitious roots were lower than in controls. We conclude that the water supply from adventitious roots contributes
to the survival and growth of plants, and will be important for vegetative propagation. 相似文献

The acrodermatitis enteropathica (AE) mutation affects zinc (Zn) metabolism in human fibroblasts. We hypothesize that the
mutation affects the cell Zn content, which subsequently affects the activity of various zinc-dependent enzymes, such as 5′-nucleotidase.
Therefore, normal and AE fibroblasts were grown in normal medium containing physiological levels of Zn (16 Μmol/L) for ∼24
h. The medium was replaced by normal medium (16 Μmol/L Zn), Zn-depleted medium (1.5 Μmol/L Zn), or Zn-supplemented medium
(200 Μmol/L Zn) for another 24 h. Regardless of the Zn concentration of the growth medium, the AE fibroblasts contained significantly
less Zn than normal fibroblasts grown in comparable medium. Nevertheless, growth of the fibroblasts in 200 Μmol/L Zn medium
significantly increased the cell Zn content fourfold of both normal and AE fibroblasts. The activity of 5′-nucleotidase in
the AE fibroblasts grown in 16 Μmol/L Zn or 1.5 Μmol/L Zn medium was also significantly lower than in normal fibroblasts.
Changing the growth medium from 16 Μmol/L Zn to 1.5 Μmol/L Zn medium did not affect the activity of the enzyme in either genotype.
Cells grown in 200 Μmol/L Zn medium exhibited threefold greater 5′-nucleotidase activity in AE fibroblasts, but had no affect
on enzyme activity in normal cells. In summary, altering the cell Zn content of normal fibroblasts did not result in a significant
change in their 5′ -nucleotidase activity. However, AE fibroblasts grown in 200 Μmol/L Zn medium exhibited recovery of their
5′-nucleotidase activity to normal levels. These results support the hypothesis that the AE mutation affects the cellular
Zn content. The lower cell Zn content subsequently affects the activity of 5′-nucleotidase. 相似文献

Targeted mapping of ESTs linked to the adult plant resistance gene Lr46 in wheat using synteny with rice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Mateos-Hernandez M Singh RP Hulbert SH Bowden RL Huerta-Espino J Gill BS Brown-Guedira G 《Functional & integrative genomics》2006,6(2):122-131
The gene Lr46 has provided slow-rusting resistance to leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina in wheat (Triticum aestivum), which has remained durable for almost 30 years. Using linked markers and wheat deletion stocks, we located Lr46 in the deletion bin 1BL (0.84–0.89) comprising 5% of the 1BL arm. The distal part of chromosome 1BL of wheat is syntenic
to chromosome 5L of rice. Wheat expressed sequence tags (ESTs) mapping in the terminal 15% of chromosome 1BL with significant
homology to sequences from the terminal region of chromosome 5L of rice were chosen for sequence-tagged site (STS) primer
design and were mapped physically and genetically. In addition, sequences from two rice bacterial artificial chromosome clones
covering the targeted syntenic region were used to identify additional linked wheat ESTs. Fourteen new markers potentially
linked to Lr46 were developed; eight were mapped in a segregating population. Markers flanking (2.2 cM proximal and 2.2 cM distal) and cosegregating
with Lr46 were identified. The physical location of Lr46 was narrowed to a submicroscopic region between the breakpoints of deletion lines 1BL-13 [fraction length (FL)=0.89–1] and
1BL-10 (FL=0.89–3). We are now developing a high-resolution mapping population for the positional cloning of Lr46. 相似文献

The photosynthetic uptake of root-zone CO2 was determined forEriocaulon septangulare, Gratiola aurea, Isoetes macrospora,Littorella uniflora var. americana and Lobelia dortmanna aspart of a study of the photosynthetic carbon economy of submergedaquatic isoetids. The pH and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC)of the sediment interstitial water in four Wisconsin lakes reflectedthe water column character, where the DIC increased with depthin the sediment to concentrations five to ten times those ofthe water column. Sediment free CO2 concentrations were 550times those in the water column and were similar at all sites(about 051.0mM CO2 in the root-zone). In pH-driftstudies these plants were unable to take up HCO2. Laboratory determinations of the carbon uptake from the rootand shoot-zones were made for all five species. These experimentsshowed that CO2 in the root-zone accounted for 6595 percent of external carbon uptake for the five species. For G.aurea and E. septangulare, root-zone CO2 was > 85 per centof carbon uptake.

Hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) originated about 8,000 years ago from the hybridization of tetraploid wheat with diploid Aegilops tauschii Coss. containing the D-genome. Thus, the bread wheat D-genome is evolutionary young and shows a low degree of polymorphism in the bread wheat gene pool. To increase marker density around the durable leaf rust resistance gene Lr34 located on chromosome 7DS, we used molecular information from the orthologous region in rice. Wheat expressed sequence tags (wESTs) were identified by homology with the rice genes in the interval of interest, but were monomorphic in the ‘Arina’ × ‘Forno’ mapping population. To derive new polymorphic markers, bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones representing a total physical size of ∼1 Mb and belonging to four contigs were isolated from Ae. tauschii by hybridization screening with wheat ESTs. Several BAC clones were low-pass sequenced, resulting in a total of ∼560 kb of sequence. Ten microsatellite sequences were found, and three of them were polymorphic in our population and were genetically mapped close to Lr34. Comparative analysis of marker order revealed a large inversion between the rice genome and the wheat D-genome. The SWM10 microsatellite is closely linked to Lr34 and has the same allele in the three independent sources of Lr34: ‘Frontana’, ‘Chinese Spring’, and ‘Forno’, as well in most of the genotypes containing Lr34. Therefore, SWM10 is a highly useful marker to assist selection for Lr34 in breeding programs worldwide. 相似文献

Following the induction of allosyndetic pairing between the Thinopyrum-derived Lr19 translocation in ‘Indis’ wheat and homoeologous wheat chromatin, eight suspected recombinants for the Lr19 region were recovered. These selections were characterised for marker loci that were previously used to construct a physical
map of the Lr19 segment. At the same time near-isogenic lines were developed for some of the selected segments and tested for seedling leaf-rust
resistance in order to confirm the presence of Lr19. It appeared that three of the four white-endosperm selections do not possess Lr19 and only one, 88M22-149, is a true Lr19 recombinant. The resistance gene in the three non-Lr19 selections resides on chromosome 6B, appears to derive from ‘Indis’, and was selected unintentionally during backcrossing.
The pedigree of ‘Indis’ is suspect and it is believed that the Lr19 translocation in ‘Indis’ is in reality the Th. ponticum-derived (T4) segment rather than being of Th. distichum origin as was believed earlier. The white-endosperm recombinant, 88M22-149, retained the complete Lr19 resistance and was apparently re-located to chromosome arm 7BL in a double-crossover event. 88M22-149 has lost the Sd1 gene and often shows strong self-elimination in translocation heterozygotes. This effect may result from additional gametocidal
loci or from an altered chromosome structure following re-location of the segment. 88M22-149 in fact contains a duplicated
region involving the Wsp-B1 locus. Three selections had partially white endosperms and expressed Lr19 and other Thinopyrum marker alleles. Polymorphisms for the available markers confirmed that the translocated segment in at least one of them had
been shortened through recombination with chromosome arm 7DL. Further markers need to be studied in order to determine whether
the translocation in the remaining two partially white recombinants had also undergone recombination with wheat. The eighth
selection has yellow endosperm and appears to self-eliminate in certain translocation heterozygotes. No evidence of recombination
could be found with the markers used. If the latter selections are in fact recombinants they may prove useful in attempts
to unravel the complex segregation distortion mechanism.

Alternate partial root-zone irrigation (APRI) is a new water-saving technique and may improve crop water use efficiency without
much yield reduction. We investigated if the benefits of APRI on biomass accumulation, water and nitrogen use efficiencies
could be modified by different soil fertilization and watering levels in pot-grown maize (Zea mays L. cv. super-sweet No 28,
a local variety). Three irrigation methods, i.e. conventional irrigation (CI), alternate partial root-zone irrigation (APRI,
alternate watering on both sides of the pot) and fixed partial root-zone irrigation (FPRI, fixed watering on one side of the
pot), two watering levels, i.e. water deficit (W1, 45–55% of field capacity) and well-watered (W2, 70–80% of field capacity), and two N fertilization levels, i.e. no fertilization and fertilization, were designed. Results
showed that APRI and FPRI methods led to more reduction in transpiration than in photosynthesis, and thus increased leaf water
use efficiency (leaf WUE, i.e. the ratio of leaf net photosynthetic rate to transpiration rate). Compared to the CI treatment,
APRI and FPRI increased leaf WUE by 7.7% and 8.1% before the jointing stage and 3.6% and 4.2% during the jointing stage, respectively.
Under the fertilization and well-watered conditions, APRI treatment saved irrigation water by 38.4% and reduced shoot and
total dry masses by 5.9% and 6.7%, respectively if compared to the CI treatment. APRI also enhanced canopy WUE (defined as
the amount of total biomass per unit water used) and nitrogen (N) apparent recovery fraction (Nr, defined as the ratio of
the increased N uptake to N applied) by 24.3% and 16.4%, respectively, indicating that effect of APRI can be better materialized
under appropriate fertilization and water supply.

A mathematical model for describing light-response curves in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Nicotiana tabacum</Emphasis> L. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A modified exponential model was used to describe light-response curves of Nicotiana tabacum L. The accuracies of an exponential model, a nonrectangular hyperbola model, a rectangular hyperbola model, a modified rectangular
hyperbola model and the modified exponential model were evaluated by Mean square error (MSE) and Mean absolute error (MAE).
The tests MSE and MAE of the modified exponential model were the lowest among the five models. The light saturation point
(LSP) obtained by the exponential model, the nonrectangular hyperbola model and the rectangular hyperbola model were much
lower than the measured values, and the maximum net photosynthetic rates (P
max) calculated from these models, were greater than the measured values. P
max at LSP of 1,077 μmol m−2 s−1 calculated by the modified exponential model was 12.34 μmol(CO2) m−2 s−1, which was more accurate than the values obtained from the modified rectangular hyperbola model. The results show that the
modified exponential model is superior to other models for describing light-response curves. 相似文献

Lactobacillus reuteri Lr1, isolated from healthy horses, remained viable after 2 h at pH 2.0 and in the presence of 1.5 % (w/v) bile. Strain Lr1 survived passage through the equine gastro-intestinal tract (GIT). However, no viable cells of L. reuteri Lr1 were detected on the third day after administration, suggesting that the strain did not colonise the GIT for longer than two days. Strain Lr1 adhered to non-viable, but not to viable, buccal epithelial cells in vitro. Adherence of strain Lr1 to buccal epithelial cells increased 25 % after treatment of the bacterial cells with pepsin. Treatment with pronase prevented the adhesion to epithelial cells. This suggested that specific proteins on the cell surface of L. reuteri Lr1 are involved in adhesion to epithelial cells. Strain Lr1 aggregated with Clostridium difficile C6, isolated from the GIT of a horse that died from severe colic. Adherence of C. difficile C6 to epithelial cells declined from 60 % to 3 % when challenged with L. reuteri Lr1 and the number of viable clostridia decreased tenfold during dosage. Red blood cell, haemoglobin and haemocrit levels were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) lower after dosage with L. reuteri Lr1. Cholesterol and glucose levels were mildly elevated for one day during dosage, but decreased significantly thereafter to levels similar than before dosage. Genes encoding adhesion to collagen, production of aggregation substances, cytolysin and β hemolysin III, resistance to vancomycin A, B and C, and gelatinase activity were not detected, suggesting that L. reuteri Lr1 is a potential probiotic that may be used to control C. difficile cell numbers in the GIT. 相似文献

The effects of 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) added to nutrient solution on growth of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) under root-zone hypoxia were investigated. Cucumber seedlings were hydroponically grown for 8 days in normoxic and hypoxic
nutrient solutions with and without addition of EBR at 1 μg l−1. EBR exerted little influence on plant performance in the normoxic nutrient solution, while the chemical alleviated root-zone
hypoxia-induced inhibition of root and shoot growth and net photosynthetic rate (Pn). EBR added to hypoxic nutrient solution
caused an increase in the concentration of fructose, sucrose, and total soluble sugars in the roots but not in the leaves.
Root-zone hypoxia enhanced the activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), and pyruvate decarboxylase
in the roots. Interestingly, EBR further enhanced ADH activity but lowered LDH activity in hypoxic roots. These results suggest
that EBR added to hypoxic nutrient solution may stimulate the photosynthate allocation down to roots and the shift from lactate
fermentation to alcohol fermentation in hypoxic roots, resulting in the increase in ATP production through glycolysis and
the avoidance of cytosolic acidosis and eventually enhanced tolerance of cucumber plants to root-zone hypoxia. 相似文献

Occurrence of wheat leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) races and virulence changes in Slovakia in 1994–2004 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In 1995–2004 we investigated leaf rust virulence in Slovakia on Thatcher near isogenic lines (NILs) with genes Lr1, Lr2a, Lr2b, Lr2c, Lr3a, Lr9, Lr10, Lr11, Lr15, Lr17, Lr19, Lr21, Lr23, Lr24, Lr26 and Lr28. According to reaction of leaf rust isolates resistance genes Lr9 and Lr19 were completely effective to all examined pathotypes in all years. The resistance genes Lr24 and Lr28 were also completely effective to all examined pathotypes till the year 2001. In the year 2001 we detected 20% and 10% virulent
isolates on NILs Lr24 and Lr28, respectively. According to the reaction of investigated isolates from the territory of Slovakia on NILs, resistance genes
Lr2c, Lr3a, Lr11, Lr17, Lr21, Lr23 and Lr26 were mostly ineffective.
During the 1994–2004 period we detected 16 races of leaf rust (races 2, 2SaBa, 6, 6SaBa, 12, 12SaBa, 14, 14SaBa, 57, 57SaBa,
61, 61SaBa, 62SaBa, 77, 77SaBa, 77/57SaBa). The most frequently determined races were 61SaBa and 77SaBa, which occurred in
all years. Among frequently determined races we can assign race 12SaBa as well.
According to the field tests in 2001–2004 good resistance to leaf rust was displayed by the cvs Arida (Lr13, Lru), Eva (Lr3, Lru) and Solara (Lru). 相似文献

The rust resistance genes Lr53 and Yr35, transferred to common wheat from Triticum dicoccoides, were reported previously to be completely linked on chromosome 6B. Four F
3 families were produced from a cross between a line carrying Lr53 and Yr35 (98M71) and the leaf rust and stripe rust susceptible genotype Avocet “S” and were rust tested using Puccinina triticina pathotype 53-1,(6),(7),10,11 and Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici pathotype 110 E143 A+. The homozygous resistant lines produced infection types of “;1−” and “;N” to these pathotypes, respectively.
The Chi-squared tests indicated goodness-of-fit of the data for one leaf rust gene and one stripe rust gene segregation. Linkage
analysis using this population demonstrated recombination of 3% between the genes. Microsatellite markers located on the short
arm of chromosome 6B were used to map the genes, with the markers cfd1 and gwm508 being mapped approximately 1.1 and 4.5 cM, respectively, proximal to Lr53. Additional studies of the relationship between Lr36, also located on the short arm of chromosome 6B, and Lr53 indicated that the two genes were independent. 相似文献

The leaf rust resistance gene Lr25, transferred from Secale cereale L. into wheat and located on chromosome 4B, imparts resistance to all pathotypes of leaf rust in South-East Asia. In an F2-derived F3 population, created by crossing TcLr25 that carries the gene Lr25 for leaf rust resistance with leaf rust-susceptible parent Agra Local, three microsatellite markers located on the long arm
of chromosome 4B were found to be linked to the Lr25 locus. The donor parent TcLr25 is a near-isogenic line derived from the variety Thatcher. The most virulent pathotype of
leaf rust in the South-East Asian region, designated 77–5 (121R63-1), was used for challenging the population under artificially
controlled conditions. The marker Xgwm251 behaved as a co-dominant marker placed 3.8 cM away from the Lr25 locus on 4BL. Two null allele markers, Xgwm538 and Xgwm6, in the same linkage group were located at a distance of 3.8 cM
and 16.2 cM from the Lr25 locus, respectively. The genetic sequence of Xgwm251, Lr25, Xgwm538, and Xgwm6 covered a total length of 20 cM on 4BL. The markers were validated for their specificity to Lr25 resistance in a set of 43 wheat genetic stocks representing 43 other Lr genes. 相似文献

The distribution of alleles at the Lr34 locus associated with leaf rust resistance has been studied in soft winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars developed in Ukraine. To determine the allelic state of the Lr34 locus, codominant molecular marker cssfr5 has been used. Cultivars with the revealed Lr34(+) and Lr34(−) alleles have been identified as potentially resistant or susceptible, respectively. A collection of 81 cultivars from
the main breeding centers of Ukraine has been examined; the Lr34(+) allele has been revealed in 44% of the tested cultivars. The obtained results have been compared with general data on
the leaf rust resistance of wheat cultivars from different countries. 相似文献

The Lr34/Yr18 locus has contributed to durable, non-race specific resistance against leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) and stripe rust (P. striiformis f. sp. tritici) in wheat (Triticum aestivum). Lr34/Yr18 also cosegregates with resistance to powdery mildew (Pm38) and a leaf tip necrosis phenotype (Ltn1). Using a high resolution mapping family from a cross between near-isogenic lines in the “Thatcher” background we demonstrated
that Lr34/Yr18 also cosegregated with stem rust resistance in the field. Lr34/Yr18 probably interacts with unlinked genes to provide enhanced stem rust resistance in “Thatcher”. In view of the relatively
low levels of DNA polymorphism reported in the Lr34/Yr18 region, gamma irradiation of the single chromosome substitution line, Lalbahadur(Parula7D) that carries Lr34/Yr18 was used to generate several mutant lines. Characterisation of the mutants revealed a range of highly informative genotypes,
which included variable size deletions and an overlapping set of interstitial deletions. The mutants enabled a large number
of wheat EST derived markers to be mapped and define a relatively small physical region on chromosome 7DS that carried Lr34/Yr18. Fine scale genetic mapping confirmed the physical mapping and identified a genetic interval of less than 0.5 cM, which contained
Lr34/Yr18. Both rice and Brachypodium genome sequences provided useful information for fine mapping of ESTs in wheat. Gene order was more conserved between wheat
and Brachypodium than with rice but these smaller grass genomes did not reveal sequence information that could be used to identify a candidate
gene for rust resistance in wheat. We predict that Lr34/Yr18 is located within a large insertion in wheat not found at syntenic positions in Brachypodium and rice.
W. Spielmeyer and R. P. Singh contributed equally to the study through the “Thatcher” and “Lalbahadur” genetic stocks, respectively. 相似文献

Resistance based on slow-rusting genes has proven to be a useful strategy to develop wheat cultivars with durable resistance
to rust diseases in wheat. However this type of resistance is often difficult to incorporate into a single genetic background
due to the polygenic and additive nature of the genes involved. Therefore, markers, both molecular and phenotypic, are useful
tools to facilitate the use of this type of resistance in wheat breeding programs. We have used field assays to score for
both leaf and yellow rust in an Avocet-YrA × Attila population that segregates for several slow-rusting leaf and yellow rust resistance genes. This population was analyzed
with the AFLP technique and the slow-rusting resistance locus Lr46/Yr29 was identified. A common set of AFLP and SSR markers linked to the Lr46/Yr29 locus was identified and validated in other recombinant inbred families developed from single chromosome recombinant populations
that segregated for Lr46. These populations segregated for leaf tip necrosis (LTN) in the field, a trait that had previously been associated with
Lr34/Yr18. We show that LTN is also pleiotropic or closely linked to the Lr46/Yr29 locus and suggest that a new Ltn gene designation should be given to this locus, in addition to the one that already exists for Lr34/Yr18. Coincidentally, members of a small gene family encoding β-1 proteasome subunits located on group 1L and 7S chromosomes implicated
in plant defense were linked to the Lr34/Yr18 and Lr46/Yr29 loci. 相似文献

Lactic acid is an environmentally benign organic acid that could be used as a raw material for biodegradable plastics if it
can be inexpensively produced by fermentation. Two genes (IdhL andIdhD) encoding the L-(+) and D-(−) lactate dehydrogenases (L-LDH and D-LDH) were cloned fromLactobacillus sp., RKY2, which is a lactic acid hyper-producing bacterium isolated from Kimchi. Open reading frames ofIdhL for andIdhD for the L and D-LDH genes were 962 and 998 bp, respectively. Both the L(+)- and D(−)-LDH proteins showed the highest degree
of homology with the L- and D-lactate dehydrogenase genes ofLactobacillus plantarum. The conserved residues in the catalytic activity and substrate binding of both LDHs were identified in both enzymes. 相似文献

Tolerance of salt stress in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) increased when the plants were pre-exposed to low concentrations of salt (salt acclimation). This acclimation was accompanied
by increased levels of abscisic acid (ABA) in the shoot. To further study the role of roots and shoots in this acclimation
process, reciprocal grafts were made between a salt-tolerant (9506) and salt-sensitive ABA(−) mutant and its ABA(+) normal
sibling potato genotype. The grafted plants were acclimated with 75 or 100 mM NaCl for 3 weeks and then exposed to 150–180 mM
NaCl, depending on the salt tolerance of the rootstock. After 2 weeks of exposure to the salt stress, the acclimated and unacclimated
plants were compared for physiologic and morphologic parameters. The response to the salt stress was strongly influenced by
the rootstock. The salt-tolerant 9506 rootstock increased the salt tolerance of scions of both the ABA-deficient mutant and
its ABA(+) sibling. This salt tolerance induced by the rootstock was primarily modulated by salt acclimation and manifested
in the scion via increased plant water content, stem diameter, dry matter accumulation, stomatal conductivity, and osmotic
potential, and is associated with a reduction in leaf necrosis. There was also a pronounced scion effect on the rootstock.
Using 9506 as a scion significantly increased root fresh and dry weights, stem diameter, and root water content of ABA(−)
mutant rootstocks. Specific evidence was found of the role of exogenous ABA in the enhancement of water status in grafted
plants under salt stress beyond that of grafting alone. This was verified by more positive stomatal conductivity and upward
water flow in ABA-treated grafted and nongrafted plants and the absence of upward water flow in nontreated grafted plants
through NMR imaging. Grafting using either salt-tolerant scions or rootstocks with inherently high ABA levels may positively
modify subsequent responses of the plant under salt stress. 相似文献
