Gibberellin A3 reverses the effect of salt stress in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) seedlings by enhancing amylase activity and mobilization of starch in cotyledons

The percentage germination of chickpea seeds (Cicer arietinum L.cv. PBG-1) gradually decreased with increasing concentration of NaCl in the growth medium and was completely inhibited with 200 mM NaCl. In the presence of 75 mM NaCl, only 51% of the seeds germinated. Gibberellic acid (GA3) and kinetin at 6 µM concentration induced the maximum increase in % germination and seedling growth under salt stress. However, IAA further inhibited both the germination and growth of stressed seedlings. The reduction in amylase activity in cotyledons of stressed seedlings was partially reversed with GA3 and kinetin whereas IAA did not show any positive effect. GA3 was more effective than kinetin in enhancing the reduced germination and seedling growth of chickpea seeds along with amylase activity in cotyledons under NaCl induced saline conditions. The reduced uptake of radiolabelled 14C sucrose by cotyledons and its reduced distribution in the shoots and roots of stressed seedlings was increased with addition of GA3 in the medium. Cotyledonary amylase was separated into amylase 1 and amylase 2 by sephadex G 150 column chromatography. The reduced activities of both amylase 1 and amylase 2 in cotyledons under salt stress was returned to near normal levels with GA3 and there was also an increase in starch utilization, resulting in its lower concentration in cotyledons of GA3-supplemented stressed cotyledons.     

外源脱落酸和马来酰肼对杂交水稻F1穗上种子发芽的抑制效应

杂交稻F1齐穗后21 d(灌浆期)施用ABA 1000mg/L或MH 4000 mg/L,可以抑制穗芽的发生,降低种子活力.ABA处理F1发芽种子使GA1含量下降,淀粉酶活性表达滞后,活性下降,有效发芽期延长;MH处理没有引起F1发芽种子GA1含量与淀粉酶活性下降,但使未发芽种子中GA1与淀粉酶活性明显下降,并丧失发芽能力.因此,ABA对杂交稻F1穗芽的抑制作用可视为"后熟效应",而MH对穗芽的抑制作用可视为"遏制作用".     

Germanium oxide inhibits the transition from G2 to M phase of CHO cells

We report here for the first time that germanium oxide (GeO(2)) blocks cell progression. GeO(2) is not genotoxic to Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and has limited cytotoxicity. However, GeO(2) arrests cells at G2/M phase. The proportion of cells stopped at G2/M phase increased dose-dependently up to 5 mM GeO(2) when treated for 12 h, but decreased at GeO(2) concentration was greater than 5 mM. Analysis of 5-bromodeoxyuridine-labeled cells indicated that GeO(2) delayed S phase progression in a dose-dependent manner, and blocked cells at G2/M phase. Microscopic examination confirmed that GeO(2) treatment arrested cells at G2 phase. Similar to several other events that cause G2 block, the GeO(2)-induced G2 block can also be ameliorated by caffeine in a dose- and time-dependent manner. To explore the mechanism of G2 arrest by GeO(2), cyclin content and cyclin-dependent kinase activity were examined. Cyclin B1 level was not affected after GeO(2) treatment in CHO cells. However, GeO(2) decreased p34(cdc2) kinase (Cdk1) activity. The kinase activity recovered within 9 h after GeO(2) removal and correlated with the transition of G2/M-G1 phase of the cells. This result suggests that GeO(2) treatment reduces Cdk1 activity and causing the G2 arrest in CHO cells.

Role of β-amylase in starch metabolism during soybean seed development and germination

Differences in starch metabolism during seed development and germination of two soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merrill] genotypes with normal seed β-amylase activity ['Williams' ( Sp 1^b and 'Altona' ( Sp 1^b)] and two soybean genotypes with undetectable seed β-amylase activity ['Chestnut' ( Sp 1^au) and 'Altona' ( Sp 1)] were investigated. Starch and soluble sugar profiles were essentially the same during seed development and germination. Total amylase activity of Williams and Altona ( Sp 1^b) peaked just prior to seed maturity and then dropped off slowly; whereas, the total amylase activity of Chestnut and Altona ( sp 1) was very low throughout seed development and germination. The differences in amylase activity between Altona ( Sp 1 ^b) and Altona ( sp 1) was also seen in leaves. α-Amylase activity was similar in the four genotypes when β-amylase was inhibited with Hg²⁺ but was higher in the two genotypes with normal β-amylase activity when β-amylase was inhibited with heat plus Ca²⁺. Low levels of starch phosphorylase activity were detected throughout seed development and germination, and the activity was similar in three of the genotypes and higher in Altona ( sp 1).
The protein, oil and oligosaccharide contents of mature seeds of the four genotypes were similar. Altona ( sp 1 ^b) and ( sp 1), which appear to be near isogenic lines, were not different in any morphological character or yield.
Altona ( Sp 1 ^b) showed greater hydrolysis of soybean seed starch than Altona ( sp 1), but the evidence indicates that the mutation resulting in greatly reduced or missing β-amylase activity has no effect on starch metabolism of developing and germinating soybean seeds.     

Effects of Ageing on Amylase Activity and Scutellar Cell Structure during Imbibition in Wheat Seed

In wheat seed the scutellum plays an important role in the hydrolysisof stored substrate during germination. This layer is activatedfirst, whilst the aleurone becomes activated later. A good correlationexists between the initiation of visible germination and theappearance of enzyme activity in the scutellum. Enzyme activityin the aleurone becomes apparent only when the germinating seedlingreaches the rapid growth phase. Electron microscopic observationsshow that during the later stages of germination the scutellarcells develop finger like projections. These may serve to absorbendospermic reserves hydrolysed by aleurone amylase. The scutellumof aged non-germinating seeds showed no amylase activity andno finger like projections were produced even after prolongedimbibition.Copyright 1993, 1999 Academic Press Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), deteriorated, germination, scutellum, scanning electron microscopy, aleurone     

Germanium oxide enhances the radiosensitivity of cells

We investigated here the combined effect of GeO(2) and radiation on cell viability. Cells were treated with 0 to 22 mM GeO(2) for 12 h followed by 1 Gy X irradiation. A synergistic cytotoxic effect was observed for the combined treatment with a dose-dependent reduction of cell viability. Complete survival curves showed a 2.3- and 2.75-fold increase in radiosensitivity for 50% cell death in the presence of 5 and 15 mM GeO(2), respectively. The increased radiosensitivity also occurred when GeO(2) was given either 4 h prior to irradiation or immediately after radiation exposure. GeO(2) did not affect the total soluble thiol content or the activities of catalase and glutathione S-transferase. Analysis of the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) revealed that the combined treatment dramatically increased the synthesis of ROS. Addition of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC, 20 mM) decreased the production of ROS in cells. NAC, however, increased cell viability only slightly after treatment with GeO(2) and radiation. Thus increased production of ROS makes little or no contribution to the observed death. The combination of GeO(2) and X radiation, however, significantly increased the frequency of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Notably, the presence of GeO(2) also reduced the efficiency of DNA repair. We conclude that treatment with GeO(2) followed by X irradiation increases DNA DSBs and cell death.     

Amylase isozyme polymorphism in maize

Summary Amylase isozyme polymorphisms were shown to exist in certain genetic stocks of Zea mays, using the technique, of starch gel electrophoresis. The earliest period of amylase activity was detected during the second day after germination of seeds. The third day after germination gave the best resolution of amylase activity in the form of distinct zones. Tissues examined from adult plants showed no amylase activity. Several hybrid patterns were of interest, but the most unique situation is the F₁ hybrid AA9xAA2. One of the zones in this hybrid appears to be intermediate to the parental types, suggesting the formation of a hybrid enzyme. In the F₁ hybrid AA7xP51 there are two zones of enzyme activity neither of which is present in the parental strains; this is also suggestive of hybrid enzymes with altered electrophoretic mobilities.Supported by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission under contract No. AT (11-1) 1338.

Enzymic mechanisms of starch breakdown in germinating rice seeds: 7. Amylase formation in the epithelium

The time sequence analysis of the starch digestion pattern of the thin sectioned germinating rice (Oryza sativa L.) seed specimens using the starch film method showed that at the initial stage amylase activity was almost exclusively localized in the epithelium septum between the scutellum and endosperm. Starch breakdown in the endosperm tissues began afterward; amylase activity in the aleurone layers was detectable only after 2 days. Polyacrylamide gel electrofocusing (pH 4 to 6) revealed nearly the same zymogram patterns between endosperm and scutellum extracts, although additional amylase bands appeared in the endosperm extracts at later germination stages (4 to 6 days). These are presumably attributable to the newly synthesized enzyme molecules in the aleurone cells.     

Phytotoxic effects of fumonisin B1 on maize seedling growth

Fumonisin B₁ toxin is produced by the fungusFusarium moniliforme Sheldon, which is systemic to maize (Zea mays L.) and maize seeds. The effects of zero to 100 parts per million fumonisin B₁ on the germination process of maize seeds was determined. The presence of fumonisin had no effect on percent seed germination, but fumonisin inhibited radicle elongation by up to 75% after 48 hours of imbibition. An analysis of amylase secretion in the maize endosperm indicated that fumonisins inhibited amylase production in the germinating seed. Isoelectric focusing of endosperm extracts indicated that secretion of the low pI class of amylases was affected more that other amylase isozymes. The results suggested that the presence of high levels of fumonisin in maize seed may have deleterious effects on seedling emergence.
