Soluble carbohydrates of dry and developing seeds

Sucrose was present in seeds of 31 species at all ages and stages of their development. The raffinose family of oligosaccharides is present in most mature and dry seeds; tomato and tobacco seeds contain planteose, whereas sesame seeds contain this sugar and a higher member of the planteose series. Cotton seeds contain raffinose, stachyose, verbascose and an unidentified ketose. Free monosaccharides were not detected in any of the dry seeds; although free glucose and fructose were detected in some immature seeds, these sugars decreased in amount and eventually disappeared during seed maturation. Sucrose, stachyose, raffinose and verbascose accumulated, in developing soybeans, in that sequence. Maltose, a sugar rarely found in plant tissues, is present in immature soybean and honey locust seeds but does not occur in the other seeds examined. It increases to a maximum during development, subsequently decreases in amount during maturation and ripening and eventually disappears completely. The petioles of old leaves and stems of the soybean plant contain maltose, but the petioles of young soybean leaves, empty pods, leaf blades and roots do not.     

SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS AND PLANT REGENERATION IN HYOSCYAMUS NIGER

Culture of segments of leaves, petioles, and stems and of germinated seeds and whole ovaries enclosing unpollinated ovules of Hyoscyamus niger in a medium containg 2, 4-dichlorophen-oxyacetic acid caused massive growth of calluses. In cultured germinated seeds and ovaries, calluses were formed from the hypocotyl and placenta, respectively. Leaf and stem explants generally gave rise to hard, white, and compact calluses. Upon transfer of these calluses to an auxin-free medium they regenerated roots or buds but showed no further signs of morphogenesis. Calluses formed on petioles, germinated seeds, and ovaries were a mixture of the white, compact and brown, friable types. Subsequent morphogenesis of the friable calluses in a medium lacking auxin was characterized by the formation of somatic embryos whose pattern of development was similar to that of zygotic embryos.     

Diet and Food Choice of Trachypithecus francoisi in the Nonggang Nature Reserve, China

We studied the diet and food choice of 1 group of Fran?ois’ langurs (Trachypithecus francoisi) from August 2003 to July 2004 in the Nonggang Nature Reserve, Guangxi province, China. The langurs consumed 90 plant species, including 14 unidentified species. Leaves constituted 52.8% of the diet (38.9% young leaves and 13.9% mature leaves). Fruits and seeds accounted for 17.2% and 14.2%, respectively. Flowers and other items—including petioles, stems, roots, and bark—contributed to 7.5% and 7.4% of the diet, respectively. The langur diet varied according to season. They fed on more young leaves from April to September. Consumption of seeds, petioles, and stems increased between October and March, when young leaves were scarce. The diet shift corresponded to higher dietary diversity during the young leaf-lean period. Though the langurs fed on many plant species, 10 species accounted for 62.2% of the diet, only 2 of which were among the 10 most common tree species in vegetation quadrants, and the percentage of feeding records on a plant species and the percentage of individuals of the species in vegetation quadrants does not correlate significantly. Fran?ois’ langurs fed selectively, and they did not base their diet simply on the abundance of plant species in the habitat.     

Localization and Distribution of 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ in Citrus and Periwinkle by Direct Tissue Blot Immuno Assay with an Anti-OmpA Polyclonal Antibody

‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CaLas), a non-cultured member of the α-proteobacteria, is the causal agent of citrus Huanglongbing (HLB). Due to the difficulties of in vitro culture, antibodies against CaLas have not been widely used in studies of this pathogen. We have used an anti-OmpA polyclonal antibody based direct tissue blot immunoassay to localize CaLas in different citrus tissues and in periwinkle leaves. In citrus petioles, CaLas was unevenly distributed in the phloem sieve tubes, and tended to colonize in phloem sieve tubes on the underside of petioles in preference to the upper side of petioles. Both the leaf abscission zone and the junction of the petiole and leaf midrib had fewer CaLas bacteria compared to the main portions of the petiole and the midribs. Colonies of CaLas in phloem sieve tubes were more frequently found in stems with symptomatic leaves than in stems with asymptomatic leaves with an uneven distribution pattern. In serial sections taken from the receptacle to the peduncle, more CaLas were observed in the peduncle sections adjacent to the stem. In seed, CaLas was located in the seed coat. Many fewer CaLas were found in the roots, as compared to the seeds and petioles when samples were collected from trees with obvious foliar symptoms. The direct tissue blot immuno assay was adapted to whole periwinkle leaves infected by CaLas. The pathogen was distributed throughout the lateral veins and the results were correlated with results of qPCR. Our data provide direct spatial and anatomical information for CaLas in planta. This simple and scalable method may facilitate the future research on the interaction of CaLas and host plant.

Cavitation resistance of peduncle,petiole and stem is correlated with bordered pit dimensions in Magnolia grandiflora

Variation in resistance of xylem to embolism among flowers, leaves, and stems strongly influences the survival and reproduction of plants. However, little is known about the vulnerability to xylem embolism under drought stress and their relationships to the anatomical traits of pits among reproductive and vegetative organs. In this study, we investigated the variation in xylem vulnerability to embolism in peduncles, petioles, and stems in a woody plant, Magnolia grandiflora. We analyzed the relationships between water potentials that induced 50% embolism (P₅₀) in peduncles, petioles, and stems and the conduit pit traits hypothesized to influence cavitation resistance. We found that peduncles were more vulnerable to cavitation than petioles and stems, supporting the hypothesis of hydraulic vulnerability segmentation that leaves and stems are prioritized over flowers during drought stress. Moreover, P₅₀ was significantly correlated with variation in the dimensions of inter-vessel pit apertures among peduncles, petioles and stems. These findings highlight that measuring xylem vulnerability to embolism in reproductive organs is essential for understanding the effect of drought on plant reproductive success and mortality under drought stress.     

Occurrence of endodermis with a casparian strip in stem and leaf

It is well known that an endodermis with casparian strip always occurs in roots, but few people are aware that it also occurs in stems and leaves of some vascular plants. The rather sparse literature on endodermis in aerial organs was last included in a review in 1943. The present compilation, which does not consider hydathodes, nectaries, or other secretory structures, emphasizes distribution of cauline and foliar endodermis with casparian strip. It occurs unevenly among major taxa: quite common in rhizomes and leaves among pteridophyte groups, with exceptions; absent in gymnosperm stems but found in leaves at least among some conifers; in stems of at least 30 mostly herbaceous angiosperm families, but far less common in leaves, where it is mostly reported from petioles. Etiolation can induce casparian strips in stems and petioles of some herbaceous plants, but results from leaf blades are questionable. There are recent reports of an endodermis with casparian strip in leaves of both woody and herbaceous taxa. The physiological function, if any, of a casparian strip in aerial organs remains unknown.     

Drought-induced leaf shedding in walnut: evidence for vulnerability segmentation

Trees of Juglans regia L. shed leaves when subjected to drought. Before shedding (when leaves are yellow), the petioles have lost 87% of their maximum hydraulic conductivity, but stems have lost only 14% of their conductivity. This is caused by the higher vulnerability of petioles than stems to water-stress induced cavitation. These data are discussed in the context of the plant segmentation hypothesis.     

Temporal variation in density of epiphytic bacteria on submerged vegetation in a calcareous stream

The density of epiphytic bacteria on (1) leaves, (2) stems and petioles, and (3) whole shoots of submerged Nasturtium officinale, Apium nodiflorum and Glyceria fluitans was determined from January to June 1984 in a calcareous stream in North Humberside. The density on leaves was less than on stems and petioles; reasons for this are suggested. The density on all three species decreased from late January to February-March and then increased to June. This temporal change was related to environmental variables (e. g. negative correlation with discharge and positive correlation with temperature), a situation which contrasts with Baker & Orr (1986) who found no such relationships in a Southern England chalk stream.
