甜高粱种子人工老化过程中活性氧清除酶活性的变化

研究甜高粱品种‘意达利’种子人工老化过程中种子活力与活性氧清除酶活性之间关系的结果表明：随着老化处理（100％RH,43℃）的时间进程,种子的萌发率、活力指数以及由存活种子形成的幼苗鲜重下降,相对渗漏率增加,丙二醛含量下降。超氧物歧化酶、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶、过氧化氢酶、谷胱甘肽还原酶和脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶的活性在人工老化初期增加,而后下降。据此认为活性氧清除酶活性下降可能是甜高粱种子活力丧失的原因之一。

以1、5mmol·L(-1)抗坏血酸及0．1、0．5mmol·L(-1)过氧化氢于暗中处理小麦离体叶片的结果表明：前者明显提高抗坏血酸过氧化物酶、过氧化氢酶活性,减少脂质过氧化产物丙二醛的产生,使小麦叶片衰老延缓;后者对抗坏血酸过氧化物酶活性影响不大,略微降低过氧化氢酶活性,也明显促进蛋白水解酶活性的上升,导致可溶性蛋白质含量下降加速,从而促进小麦叶片衰老。

The effect of kinetin and naphthalenacetic acid upon localized accumulation as related to senescence in detached leaves

Summary Naphthaleneacetic acid, when applied together with kinetin to defined areas of detached leaves of Xanthium pensylvanicum Wallr. or broccoli (Brassica oleracea L., var. italica), reduced the senescence-retarding effect of kinetin but synergistically increased the kinetin-induced accumulation of ¹⁴C from labeled glycine. Naphthaleneacetic acid by itself did not accelerate senescence. The ability of kinetin to delay senescence in these detached leaves therefore can not be explained as a result of the gross accumulation (mobilization) of protein precursor.     

Protease activity during rice leaf senescence

A protease activity was detected in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Ratna) leaves that hydrolysed hemoglobin more efficiently than bovine serum albumin. The activity was high when the enzyme was extracted and assayed with tris-maleate buffer [tris (hydroxymethyl) methyl amino-maleate] pH 7.0 rather than with water or with citrate-phosphate buffer pH 7.0. The enzyme had a strong dependence on sulfhydryl groups for its activity without which it was inaotive. The pH optimum was 7.0 and the temperature optimum was 40 °C. Protease activity expressed per unit leaf fresh weight (absolute activity) increased only little during senescence of detached rice leaves while the same activity expressed per unit soluble protein content (specific activity) increased by a greater factor (about 5 times) than absolute activity. Total and soluble protein content decreased during the senescence of detached leaves. Benzimidazole (10-3M) and kinetin (0.5xl0-5M) treatment arrested the increase of the protease activity and the deorease in the protein content during detached leaf senescence. It was indicative that protease protein was more stable than the bulk of other proteins in senescing leaves.     

Catalase, Peroxidase, and Polyphenoloxidase Activities during Rice Leaf Senescence

The activities of catalase, peroxidase, and polyphenoloxidase were studied in attached and detached rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Ratna) leaves. Catalase activity decreased while peroxidase and polyphenoloxidase activities increased during senescence of both attached and detached rice leaves. Kinetic (5 mum) and benzimidazole (1 mm), which are known to delay the senescence of detached rice leaves, retarded the decrease of catalase activity during detached leaf senescence. On the other hand, these chemicals accelerated the increase of peroxidase and polyphenoloxidase activities over the water control. Total phenolics accumulated in detached and darkened rice leaves, but in attached leaf senescence in light no accumulation of phenolics was observed.     

Differential Induction of Endoproteinases during Senescence of Attached and Detached Barley Leaves

Endoproteinase activities and species were compared during dark-induced senescence of attached and detached primary barley leaves by isoelectric focusing and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of cell-free extracts. Neither of the two major endoproteinases (EP1 and EP2) changed in amounts during senescence of attached leaves, nor did new endoproteinases appear. In contrast, during senescence of detached leaves, both EP1 and EP2 activities increased and four new species of endoproteinases appeared. Proteolytic activity was evenly distributed throughout attached leaves, but activity in the detached leaf increased sharply from the tip to the base with the four new higher molecular weight species of proteinases present only in the bottom half of the leaf nearest the cut end. Thus a wound response may be superimposed on the processes of senescence in detached leaves. Cycloheximide and kinetin both inhibited the increase of EP1, EP2, and the induction of the four new endoproteinases; chloramphenicol had no effect. Indications are that both the increases in activity and the induction of new species of proteinases were the result of activity of cytoplasmic ribosomes.

Hydrolysis of total protein and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase protein in vivo was somewhat faster in detached than attached leaves. The difference, however, was much less than would be expected from the great increase in proteolytic activity in detached leaves.

     

The Role of Abscisic Acid in Senescence of Detached Tobacco Leaves

The role of abscisic acid in the regulation of senescence was investigated in detached tobacco leaves (Nicotiana rustica L.). Leaves senesced in darkness showed a sharp rise in abscisic acid level in the early stage of aging, followed by a rapid decline later. The same trend was found when leaves were aged in light, but the rise in abscisic acid occurred four days later than in darkness. Senescence was slower in light than in darkness, while salt stress accelerated the processes. Leaves treated with kinetin which senesced in light and darkness, did not show an increase in abscisic acid. Application of kinetin led to a transformation from free to bound ABA. These results may indicate that ABA and cytokinin are involved in a trigger mechanism which regulates senescence; the stage at which this trigger is activated determines the rate of senescence.     

The Control of Leaf Senescence in Kleinia articulata by Photoperiod

Experiments with attached and detached leaves of K. articulatahave shown that senescence rates are determined by the daylengthprevailing during early growth (leaf-expansion stage) and thatthis effect is lasting, long days leading to early leaf death.Daylength also affects longevity after full expansion has occurred,long days hastening senescence. Tests with numerous plant-growthregulators have revealed beneficial effects of gibberellic acid,while kinetin is detrimental to survival at 50 ppm. Entire detachedleaves and isolated petioles behave similarly to leaves on theplant, but leaf discs do not behave in the same way. Other parametersaffected by daylength include: leaf shape, the capacity of leavesto form roots, and enlargement of mesophyll cells normal tothe leaf surface.     

Leaf Nucleic Acids:: II. METABOLISM DURING SENESCENCE AND THE EFFECT OF KINETIN

The nucleic acids in the green and in the senescent leaves ofthree types of plant have been studied. High and low molecularweight RNA of the chloroplast is not present in senescent leavesof Xanthium pensylvanicum, but both cytoplasmic and chloroplasticfractions are found in yellow leaves of Vicia faba and Nicotianatabacum. RNA is more rapidly degraded than DNA in the leavesof these plants when they are detached, and kinetin treatmenttemporarily arrests the loss of chlorophyll and nucleic acid.Once X. pensylvanicum leaves are yellow and senescent they cannotbe re-greened, whereas those of Nicotiana spp., and to someextent those of V. faba, can be rejuvenated. We suggest thatthe retention of chloroplast RNA in yellow leaves may be a majorfactor determining their ability to re-green and that the patternof organelle senescence prior to the first stages of leaf autolysisand dehydration is species-specific.     

The senescence of detached leaves of tropaeolum

The senescence of detached Tropaeolum majus leaves was compared with that described earlier for Avena. Tropaeolum was chosen as being not only a dicot but also as having a nearly circular leaf, thus needing only the smallest minimum of wounding, since wounding delays the loss of chlorophyll and protein in darkness. Tropaeolum resembles Avena in that closing the stomata osmotically or with ABA causes rapid senescence in light. As in Avena also, n-hexanol and α,α′-dipyridyl delay senescence in darkness but cause `bleaching' of chlorophyll in light. Unlike Avena, however, kinetin and gibberellic acid, which delay senescence in the dark in both species, do so in Tropaeolum without causing any significant stomatal opening. The senescence of Tropaeolum leaves is actually promoted by fusicoccin, which powerfully delays senescence in Avena, although fusicoccin does cause stomatal opening in darkness in both species. Thus, many of the phenomena of senescence are alike in the monocot and dicot, but there are several significantly different responses to the senescence-modifying reagents. It is concluded that while stomatal closure accelerates senescence in both species, stomatal opening is not directly linked to the prevention of leaf senescence.     

Structural-functional changes in detached cucumber leaves, and modelling these by hormone-treated leaf discs

Senescence and rejuvenation were investigated in detached cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) leaves after cultivation in nutrient solution for one week or four weeks. Rooting of the petiole (visible generally from the 7th day) elicited a combination of different morphological, anatomical, and physiological changes in the lamina. Extensive growth in area and thickness, extreme regreening, changes of chloroplast structure and activity, as well as the pattern of Chl-protein complexes were observed and compared either to the corresponding parameters of young detached leaves or mature attached leaves. These responses could be provoked separately by treating excised leaf discs with kinetin, benzyladenine, or indolylacetic acid. The hormones showed mutuality in their effects, benzyladenine being responsible for the growth of cells, while indolylacetic acid and kinetin promoted an increase in chlorophyll content. However, none of the treatments resulted in the growth of the chloroplasts in the leaf discs, which was only prominent in the rooting leaves.
