激动素在黄瓜子叶器官分化中的作用

采用在培养初期分阶段供应激动素 (KT)的方法 ,研究了其对黄瓜子叶器官分化的影响 ,并对全程供应和不供应KT下子叶中内源多胺和内源激素的变化进行了动态测定。结果表明 :1)供应KT使不定根分化率下降 ,不影响营养芽的分化 ,而对于花芽分化则是必需的。2 )供应KT使多胺中腐胺 (Put)含量变化最为显著 ,在培养第 2、 6d出现峰值 ,在第 4d呈低谷 ,对照则在第 4d出现峰值。 3)供应KT使培养 2d的子叶中吲哚乙酸 (IAA)和脱落酸(ABA)含量显著降低 ,4d时IAA含量显著升高。据上结果 ,就这些生理变化和花芽分化之间是否存在相关进行了充分讨论。     

多胺对离体黄瓜子叶花芽构建的影响

研究了外源多胺对离体黄瓜(CucumissativusL.)子叶内在多胺含量和花芽构建的影响。在MS培养基中添加5×10-2mmol·L-1亚精胺(Spd)、精胺(Spm)能明显提高子叶内Spd含量和SpdPut值,子叶成花率也明显高于对照组,而添加5×10-2mmol·L-1Put、5mmol·L-1环己胺硫酸盐(CHAS)培养的结果则相反。表明子叶内Spd含量和SpdPut与成花率呈正相关关系。在添加5mmol·L-1D精氨酸(DArg)处理后,子叶内SpdPut高于Spd处理,但子叶成花率低于对照组,表明Put、Spd含量也影响离体子叶花芽的构建。在实验中添加CHAS处理后子叶内Spm含量高出对照组10倍,子叶成花率却为0,其它各处理与对照组的内源Spm变化基本一致,成花率却差别明显,表明子叶内Spm含量与黄瓜子叶花芽构建之间无明显相关性。

Changes in the subcellular distribution of glutathione during virus infection in Cucurbita pepo (L.)

Changes in the subcellular distribution and quantification of glutathione were studied with electron microscopic immunogold cytochemistry in Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV)-infected Styrian pumpkin plants (Cucurbita pepo L. ssp. pepo var. styriaca Greb.) two weeks after inoculation. The amount of gold particles bound to glutathione was statistically evaluated for different cell structures, including mitochondria, plastids, nuclei, peroxisomes, and cytosol. In general, ZYMV-infected plants showed higher gold labelling density in intact mesophyll cells of the 5th (older leaves) and the youngest fully developed leaves (younger leaves), and decreased levels of glutathione within root tip cells when compared to the control. In general, within older and younger leaves the highest amount of gold particles was found in mitochondria and the lowest amount in plastids. In ZYMV-infected older leaves, an increase in glutathione was found in peroxisomes (1.7-fold), the cytosol (1.6-fold), mitochondria (1.4-fold), and nuclei (1.2-fold), whereas glutathione levels in plastids did not differ significantly when compared to control cells. In ZYMV-infected younger leaves elevated glutathione contents were found in the cytosol (3-fold), nuclei (2.1-fold), peroxisomes (1.8-fold), and plastids (1.5-fold), whereas mitochondria showed an insignificant decrease in glutathione levels in comparison to the control. In root tip cells of ZYMV-infected plants the amount of gold particles bound to glutathione was decreased in all investigated cell structures by between 0.7- to 0.8-fold. Additionally, total glutathione contents were determined in older and younger leaves using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which revealed no significant differences between control and ZYMV-infected leaves. The relevance of the results of both methods were compared and are discussed.     

Cold tolerance and plant growth promotion potential of Serratia marcescens strain SRM (MTCC 8708) isolated from flowers of summer squash (Cucurbita pepo)

Aim: To determine the cold tolerance and plant growth promotion potential of Serratia marcescens strain SRM (MTCC 8708). Methods and Results: Serratia marcescens strain SRM was isolated from the flowers of summer squash plants, showing no apparent symptoms of yellow vine disease. It was evaluated for growth and plant growth promotion attributes at 15 and 4°C. At 15°C, the isolate was able to solubilize 76·6 μg ml^?1 of P and produce Indole Acetic Acid, IAA (11·1 μg ml^?1). HCN and siderophore production were also detected at 15°C. The isolate retained all the plant growth promotion traits at 4°C. Seed bacterization with the isolate significantly enhanced plant biomass and nutrient uptake of wheat seedlings grown in cold temperatures. Conclusion: Serratia marcescens strain SRM is a promising cold‐tolerant isolate that can significantly influence wheat seedling growth at cold temperatures. Significance and Impact of the Study: This strain can be employed as a bioinoculant in cold temperature conditions.

Intraspecific Variation of Floral Scent Chemistry in Magnolia kobus DC. (Magnoliaceae)

Magnolia kobus was examined at 32 sites in Japan (109 female-stage flowers from 52 plants) by GC-MS. Major chemical compounds (a total of 36 chemicals) emitted from the flowers were: linalool (and its oxides), limonene, cis- and trans-β-Ocimene, benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, benzyl cyanide, and 2-aminobenzaldehyde. Linalool and its oxides were the most abundant components of floral scents in 21 individuals. The rate at which chemical volatiles were emitted ranged from 0.002 to 0.929 μg/flower/hour (average 0.211). High quantitative and qualitative variation in floral scent chemistry among individuals was found throughout the range of M. kobus, especially in central Honshu. The high variability in floral scent chemistry may be due to the importance of visual cues in the reproductive biology of M. kobus which flowers in early spring, resulting in decreased selection for specific floral scent profiles. Alternatively, different scent compounds or chemical profiles may be equally effective in attracting pollinators. Received 25 June 2001/ Accepted in revised form 25 August 2001     

Volatiles in Different Floral Organs, and Effect of Floral Characteristics on Yield of Extract fromBoronia megastigma(Nees)

The relative amounts of volatile compounds in the extract andheadspace from each floral organ were assessed in order to identifythe main organs for accumulation and emission. The mass of flowers/organs,the number/density of oil glands and yield of volatiles wereexamined for their relationship with extract yield, in clonaland non-clonal plants. Boronia flowers were divided into componentorgans and the solvent extractable product and headspace aboveeach organ type was quantified. The petals comprised 50% ofthe weight of the flowers, and the stigma 20%; however, thestigma contributed 70% of the total volatile compounds to extractfrom the whole flower. Proportionately more ß-iononeand dodecyl acetate were emitted from the stigma and anthersthan were contained in the extract, compared with other volatiles.The sexual organs are morphologically equipped for emissionof volatiles to attract pollinators. Between non-clonal plants, there was a lower coefficient ofvariation for extract yield than for values relating to extractcomposition, indicating that the former is more heritable thanthe latter. Variation between clonal plants was reduced comparedwith variation between non-clonal plants. The environment modifiesyield and quality of extract in clonal plants, indicating thatboth have relatively low heritability. No significant relationshipsbetween any floral characteristics and extract yield were found.Biosynthetic potential to accumulate extract is therefore ofprime importance, and the effect of environment on this potentialshould be the subject of future work.

The Effect of Root Formation on the Levels of Protein, Chlorophyll, RNA, DNA and Carbohydrates in Excised Cotyledons of Cucurbita pepo

In attached cotyledons of Cucurbita pepo L. protein, chlorophyll, RNA, DNA and carbohydrates were found to increase to a maximum level 14 days after commencement of germination, followed by a sharp decline thereafter. Cotyledons excised and planted in a nutrient solution 14 days after sowing showed maximum levels of protein, chlorophyll, RNA, DNA and soluble and insoluble sugars 52 days after planting. The increase in these compounds coincides with the full development of the root system. Excision earlier or later than 14 days resulted in lower levels of protein and other compounds. The decrease in the level after 52 days was parallel to the senescing phase of the cotyledons.     

Kinetin-Mediated Prolongation of Viability in Recalcitrant Sal (Shorea robusta Gaertn. f.) Seeds at Low Temperature: Role of Kinetin in Delaying Membrane Deterioration during Desiccation-Induced Injury

The effects of kinetin (6-furfurylaminopurine) on viability during storage of recalcitrant sal (Shorea robusta Gaertn. f.) seeds at low temperature (15°C) were investigated. The freshly mature sal seeds showed an absolute loss of viability within 6–7 dah (days after harvest) when stored at ambient or at 15°C (control). Storage of these seeds at 15°C after kinetin (10 ppm) treatment prolonged the viability period up to 35 days with 20% germination. The kinetin-treated seeds exhibited 100% germination up to 10 days compared with 3 days in controls. Measurements of leachate conductivity, ·O⁻ ₂ and lipid peroxidation registered gradual increases from 0 dah onward to 35 dah with significantly low levels compared with controls. On the other hand, an enormous increase in superoxide dismutase activity was discernible for a longer duration (0–35 dah) in kinetin-treated seeds than in control seeds where it remained for 3 dah. The role of kinetin in prolonging seed viability by reducing the loss of leachates, lipid peroxidation, ·O⁻ ₂, and enhancing of superoxide dismutase is discussed.
