对温敏转绿型素突变体1103S和武金4B“斑马叶”性状表达过程中叶绿素含量,叶绿体超微结构的变化进行了比较研究,结果表明,在一定条件下,叶片的失绿,复绿与叶绿素含量的下降,上升变化趋势一致;叶绿体结构在失绿区表现为严重退化,基粒和基粒片层减少,淀粉粒和嗜饿粒增多,复绿后,其叶绿体结构重建和恢复。     

水稻温敏型突变体叶片间断失绿的超微结构

在短时降温诱导下,水稻温敏型突变体１１０３ｓ（Ｏｒｙｚａ　ｓａｔｉｖａ　ｓｓｐ．ｉｎｄｉｃａ）植株间断失绿性状表达（临界温度２３．１℃）过程中,叶绿体含量的增减与叶色变化相符。电镜观察发现,性状表达时叶片间断失绿区叶绿体内部结构发生退化,呈现基粒垛叠片层数的异常减少,或基粒消失仅剩基粒残迹,有的甚至整个叶绿体为高电子密度的囊泡状结构。但在同一叶片的绿区,叶绿体仅表现基粒片层数减少、排列不规则,嗜锇小球聚集。在叶片失绿区的复绿过程中,叶绿体的这些变化又可逆转,内部结构重建,最后整个叶绿体结构基本恢复正常。水稻温敏突变体１１０３ｓ叶片间断失绿性状表达过程,实质上是一个由温度调控的叶绿体结构退化与修复的可逆过程。     

小麦黄化突变体叶绿体超微结构研究

利用透射电镜对小麦自然黄化突变体及其突变亲本(西农1718)叶片细胞叶绿体的数目、形态及超微结构进行比较分析。结果发现:(1)3种不同黄化程度突变体的叶绿体分布、数目、形状及大小与突变亲本无明显差异;(2)突变体叶绿素含量为野生型58%的黄绿植株与其突变亲本叶绿体超微结构无明显差异,基质类囊体与基粒类囊体高度分化,基粒数目以及基粒片层数目较多;(3)突变体金黄和绿黄植株的叶绿素含量分别为野生型的17%、24%,其叶绿体超微结构与突变亲本明显不同,突变体的叶绿体发育存在明显缺陷,其中突变体金黄植株的叶绿体内无基粒、基质片层清晰可见,有淀粉粒,嗜锇颗粒较多,而突变体绿黄植株的叶绿体内有基粒,但明显少于突变亲本,且基粒片层较少,基质类囊体较发达。结果表明该黄化突变体叶绿体超微结构的改变,是由于叶绿素含量降低造成,推测,该黄化突变是由于叶绿素合成受阻导致的。     

小麦旗叶黄化转绿突变体的生理分析及细胞学研究

叶色突变体是研究植物光合作用机理的理想材料。该研究以小麦旗叶黄化转绿突变体LF2090及其野生型H_261为材料,对其主要农艺性状、光合色素含量、光合参数和叶绿体超微结构进行比较分析。结果显示:突变体在旗叶黄化期叶绿素b含量显著降低,叶绿体结构基本正常,光合速率无显著变化;在旗叶转绿期,突变体叶绿素b相对含量提高,但各色素含量均显著下降,叶绿体内基粒大部分消失,细胞间CO_2浓度及光合速率均显著下降。研究表明,叶绿素a与叶绿素b间的比例变化导致突变体旗叶叶片颜色发生由黄转绿的变化;突变体LF2090旗叶气孔部分关闭是该突变体光合速率降低和农艺性状较差的主要原因,同时色素含量降低导致叶绿体结构的改变也影响着旗叶的光合效率。     

水稻叶绿体基粒缺乏突变体的叶绿素蛋白质复合体分析

我们曾报道一个细胞核隐性基因控制的黄绿色水稻突变体。其叶片的叶绿素含量仅为正常品种叶片的1/3,Chla:Chlb比值很高;叶绿体缺乏基粒,即基粒数和每一基粒的片层数均很少;但以叶绿素量为基数的光合活性较高。为了认识色素含量、基粒结构和光合功能之间相互关系,对正常品种和突变体叶绿体膜的叶绿素蛋白质复合体作了比较分析。结果表明,突变体缺乏24KD的捕光叶绿素a/b蛋白质复合体,但富有28KD的叶绿素a蛋白质复合体CPa。从试验结果推论,叶绿体片层的垛叠和捕光叶绿素a/b蛋白质复合体的含量有正的相关,非垛叠片层则富有叶绿素a蛋白质复合体CPa;

花粒期光照对夏玉米光合特性和叶绿体超微结构的影响

在大田条件下,以夏玉米品种‘登海605’为试验材料,研究花粒期不同光照强度(正常光照、开花至收获期遮阴和开花至收获期增光)对夏玉米叶片光合、荧光性能和叶绿体超微结构的影响.结果表明:与对照相比,花粒期遮阴影响叶绿体排布及内部结构发育,基粒个数和基粒片层数均有不同程度减少,叶片的净光合速率、蒸腾速率、气孔导度、叶绿素含量下降,PSⅡ反应中心的实际光化学效率和最大光化学效率降低,非光化学淬灭系数数值增加,导致产量降低;增光后叶绿体结构良好,基粒片层排列紧致、清晰且数量增加,PSⅡ反应中心的实际光化学效率增加,净光合速率、蒸腾速率、气孔导度、叶绿素含量上升,叶片光合性能增强,产量增加.即花粒期遮阴破坏了夏玉米叶片叶绿体超微结构,降低了叶片光合能力,产量下降;花粒期增光增加了叶肉细胞中叶绿体的基粒和基粒片层,导致基粒片层排列紧密有序,有利于增加作物产量潜力.     

铁皮石斛叶色突变体的叶绿体超微结构、光合色素和叶绿素荧光特性的研究

以铁皮石斛(Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo)(‘TP35’)经自然突变的白绿杂色突变体(‘TP-MA’)和太空诱变的绿黄杂色突变体(‘TP-MG’)为材料,研究不同光照强度(0、50、100μmol·m^-2·s^-1)处理后,植株叶片的叶绿体超微结构、光合色素含量以及叶绿素荧光动力学参数的变化规律,并阐明叶色突变体与正常植株光合特性的差异。结果显示,‘TP-MA’和‘TP-MG’的叶绿体形态均发生了一定程度的缺失,且叶绿体分布不均匀、无规则,基粒片层结构不完整且排列疏松,基本与其表型性状相一致。‘TP-MA’光合色素的含量和叶绿素荧光参数F v/F m、ΦPSⅡ及F v′/F m′等显著低于‘TP35’,但非光化学淬灭系数(NPQ和q P)则相对较高;‘TP-MG’的光合色素含量及叶绿素荧光参数均低于‘TP35’,但差异不显著,且对较强的光照(100μmol·m^-2·s^-1)条件具有一定的适应性。研究结果表明不同光强处理后,铁皮石斛叶色突变体的叶绿体结构和光合生理指标均发生了不同程度的变化,且对植株的叶绿素含量及荧光参数产生一定影响,过低和过高的光照强度均不利于植株的正常生长。     

CHROMOPLAST ULTRASTRUCTURE AS AFFECTED BY GENES CONTROLLING GRANA RETENTION AND CAROTENOIDS IN FRUITS OF CAPSICUM ANNUUM

Plastids in the fruits of isogenic lines of pepper (Capsicum annuum) were examined by electron microscopy with reference to four genotypes determining the carotenoid composition and the colors red, yellow, brown, and green of the ripe fruit. One gene pair (y⁺/y) influences carotenoid content and the other pair (cl⁺/cl) controls the chlorophyll. The retention of the grana and chlorophyll in the ripe fruits of the brown and green phenotypes is correlated with the cl cl genotype. The y⁺ gene increases the total carotenoids and promotes the formation of red pigments. Giant grana were found in the yellow and green phenotypes, but during ripening these disappeared in the yellow. Unusual dichotomous and concentric grana were observed in the green. Globule-associated carotenoids forming fibrillar crystalloids were present in all color types, although to a lesser degree in the yellow fruit. Membrane-associated carotenoids occurred only in the yellow and green phenotypes.     

金叶连翘叶片色素含量和解剖结构研究

金叶连翘不同冠层的成熟叶片呈现为不同颜色。以朝鲜连翘深绿色叶为对照,观察金叶连翘冠层上、中、下位叶色,测定其叶片大小和叶绿素a、叶绿素b、总叶绿素及类胡萝卜素含量,同时观察分析叶片横切面解剖结构,旨在阐明叶片色素含量和解剖结构对叶色的影响。研究表明:上层黄色、中层黄绿色、下层浅绿色,黄、黄绿、浅绿色叶总叶绿素含量分别是对照组的0.51%、4.44%和66.47%,均极显著低于对照(P <0.01),但黄绿叶的叶绿素a/b比值显著升高(P <0.05),黄、黄绿叶的总叶绿素/类胡萝卜素比值极显著降低(P <0.01)。黄、黄绿叶的叶绿体发育停滞于单片层时期,类囊体分化程度低,浅绿叶类囊基粒片层肿胀;黄叶细胞器降解,栅栏组织细胞形状难以辨别,黄绿叶上表皮细胞凸起。金叶连翘属于总叶绿素及叶绿素b合成减少型突变体,表现为叶绿素严重缺失,类胡萝卜素相对含量升高;其叶绿体发育停滞,类囊体结构异常,是金叶连翘叶片呈现不同颜色的主要因素,与其叶片解剖显微结构无关。     

Changes in peel pigmentation during ripening of mango fruit (Mangifera indica var. Tommy Atkins)

The pigments in the peel of Tommy Atkins mango were analysed at six stages during ripening at 22 ^oC. The loss of green colour and the development of yellow colouration was associated with an almost complete loss of chlorophyll and an increase in carotenoids. Anthocyanin content showed a slight decrease during ripening. An ultrastructural study showed plastids in green fruit with a well developed grana network system. On ripening the chloroplasts underwent extensive disorganisation which was associated with the development of large osmiophilic globules.     

The effect of kinetin and auxin on the chloroplast structure and chlorophyll content in wheat coleoptiles

Kinetin and auxin when applied to excised segments of wheat coleoptiles bring about changes in chloroplast structure and chlorophyll content of parenchymatous cells. Auxin (IAA) alone at a concentration of 10^-5M stimulated the elongation (growth), but the chloroplast membrane system was less developed and the chlorophyll content was lowest in comparison with control and other variants. Kinetin (KIN) exhibited various effects depending on the concentration used. 10^-6M KIN somehow stimulated the elongation and enhanced the amount of grana coming to one chloroplast section, but the individual grana were relatively small and the chlorophyll content a little higher than in the control. On the other hand 10^-5M KIN which did not promote the elongation of wheat coleoptiles, had the maximum stimulatory effect on the chloroplast membrane system, especially on the occurrence of large grana, and the chlorophyll content was highest in comparison with the other variants. The occurrence of starch grains in chloroplasts was lower than in the other variants. The effect of a joint treatment of KIN and IAA did not exceed that of KIN (10^-5M) alone. Thus the development of chloroplasts and the accumulation of chlorophyll in wheat coleoptiles are stimulated by the concentration of KIN which does not promote the elongation of coleoptiles.     

Chlorophyll-deficient Lespedeza procumbens

Summary A native plant of Lespedeza procumbens with yellow, chlorophyll-deficient leaves was discovered near Tallahassee, Florida. When selfed this plant yielded only yellow offspring. Normal, green plants of L. procumbens contained about 5.5 times more chlorophyll (dry weight basis) than yellow plants. At high light intensities photosynthetic rates on a chlorophyll basis in yellow plants were 3 to 8 times greater than in green plants. Chloroplasts in yellow plants did not possess high-stacked grana, and the thylakoids displayed unusual cross channels reported previously only in Cassia [7] and Rhodopseudomonas [15]. Chlorophyll deficiency in Lespedeza closely parallels that reported in yellow (Su/su) tobacco [11]. The present paper is the most detailed report on chlorophyll deficiency in a wild plant, all comparable work having been done on cultivars.These studies were partially supported by contract No. AT-(40-1)-2687 from the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission to Professor H. Gaffron.     

The Fine Structure of Avocado Plastids

Ultrastructural studies of both young and harvest-ripe avocadofruits have established that the skin and outer green layersof flesh contain chloroplasts with an extensive thylakoid system.Etioplasts occur in the yellow flesh adjacent to the stone.The pale-green flesh contains plastids, intermediate betweenchloroplasts and etioplasts, which have prominent prolamellarbodies from which radiate grana. When segments of both the yellow and pale-green flesh of maturefruit (7 cm diam.) are cultured in the light their prolamellarbodies do not disperse although there is a change in their crystallinity.The palegreen tissues of immature (4 mm and 2 cm diam.) fruitsalso contain etioplasts but on culturing these differentiateinto chloroplasts. Both chlorophyll content and the ratio ofchlorophyll a to b varied in the different tissues of youngand mature fruits.     

金叶银杏半同胞子代无性系的叶色和色素含量变化及呈色机制分析

对4月份至11月份金叶银杏‘万年金'( Ginkgo biloba ‘Wannianjin')32个半同胞子代无性系与亲本的叶色差异进行比较;比较了不同色系叶片的色素含量和比值及叶色参数(L*、a*和b*)的变化,分析了叶色参数与叶片色素含量的相关性;并观察了不同色系的叶绿体超微结构。结果表明：32个半同胞子代无性系可被分为金黄、浅黄、草绿和蓝绿4个色系。随时间推移,草绿和蓝绿色系叶片的总叶绿素( Chl)、叶绿素a( Chla)、叶绿素b( Chlb)和类胡萝卜素( Car)含量均呈“双峰型”变化趋势,Car/Chl和Car/Chla比值的变幅均较小;而金黄和浅黄色系叶片的上述色素含量呈“升高—降低—升高”变化趋势,Car/Chl和Car/Chla比值总体呈“迅速下降—相对稳定—缓慢升高”的变化趋势。各色系叶片的上述色素含量在夏季均不同程度下降,Car/Chlb比值变化差异较大,且金黄和浅黄色系的各色素含量均低于草绿和蓝绿色系。随时间推移,金黄和浅黄色系叶片的L*、a*和b*值以及草绿和蓝绿色系叶片的L*和b*值均先降低后升高,后2个色系的a*值则先升高后下降;并且,前2个色系的L*和b*值总体上显著高于后2个色系,而a*值则总体上低于后2个色系。金黄色系的Chla和Chl含量与L*和a*值显著负相关,而其Car/Chl和Car/Chla比值则与L*、a*和b*值显著或极显著正相关;浅黄色系的Chlb含量与a*值显著负相关,其Car/Chla比值与L*和b*值以及Car/Chlb比值与a*值均显著正相关;草绿色系的Chla含量与L*值显著负相关,其Car/Chla比值与L*和b*值以及Car/Chlb比值与a*值均显著正相关;这3个色系叶片的其余指标间以及蓝绿色系叶片的各指标间均无显著相关性。观察结果显示：金黄和浅黄色系的叶绿体基粒片层发育不健全,基粒片层可见但排列较疏松,且无明显垛叠,分布范围小而稀疏;蓝绿和草绿色系叶绿体的基粒类囊体垛叠层数均较多,基粒片层发达且排列紧致、整齐,分布范围大而稠密。综合分析结果表明：‘万年金'4个色系半同胞子代无性系叶片的呈色差异和叶色变化由多种因素控制,其中,Car/Chl和Car/Chla比值高且叶绿体基粒片层发育不健全是叶片呈黄色的主要原因。     

Comparative ultrastructural properties of pallisade tissue and spongy tissue chloroplasts from normal and mutant leaves of Pisum sativum L.*

Abstract. The ultrastructure of chloroplasts from palisade and spongy tissue was studied in order to analyse the adaptation of chloroplasts to the light gradient within the bifacial leaves of pea. Chloroplasts of two nuclear gene mutants of Pisum sativum (chlorotica-29 and chlorophyll b-less 130A), grown under normal light conditions, were compared with the wild type (WT) garden-pea cv. ‘Dippes Gelbe Viktoria’. The differentiation of the thylakoid membrane system of plastids from normal pea leaves exhibited nearly the same degree of grana formation in palisade and in spongy tissue. Using morphometrical measurements, only a slight increase in grana stacking capacity was found in chloroplasts of spongy tissue. In contrast, chloroplasts of mutant leaves differed in grana development in palisade and spongy tissue, respectively. Their thylakoid systems appeared to be disorganized and not developed as much as in chloroplasts from normal pea leaves. Grana contained fewer lamellae per granum, the number of grana per chloroplast section was reduced and the length of appressed thylakoid regions was decreased. Nevertheless, chloroplasts of the mutants were always differentiated into grana and stroma thylakoids. The structural changes observed and the reduction of the total chlorophyll content correlated with alterations in the polypeptide composition of thylakoid membrane preparations from mutant chloroplasts. In sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), polypeptide bands with a relative molecular mass of 27 and 26 kilodalton (kD) were markedly reduced in mutant chloroplasts. These two polypeptides represented the major apoproteins of the light harvesting chlorophyll a/b complex from photosystem II (LHC-II) as inferred from a comparison with the electrophoretic mobility of polypeptides isolated from the LHC-II.     

The effects of lead and kinetin on greening barley leaves

The content of lead in greening etiolated barley leaves remained the same, regardless the time of incubation of excised leaves in the presence of lead ions (8–24 h). The lead deposits have not been detected within mesophyll cells, but were found in intercellular spaces of mesophyll, in guard cells and in cuticle covering stomata. This suggests that lead may be transported in the leavesvia transpiration stream. Lead reduced the content of chlorophyll, especially chlorophyllb content and the average number of grana, whereas in the presence of kinetin the content of chlorophyll increased. In the combined treatment (lead + kinetin) kinetin diminished the inhibitory effect of lead on the chlorophyll content. The number of chloroplasts in mesophyll cells remained unchanged after lead treatment, whereas kinetin alone or applied together with lead increased the average chloroplasts number. The thylakoids system in chloroplasts of kinetin and kinetin + lead treated plants was similar to that observed in control, although the grana number was smaller. Both lead and kinetin increased the content of condensed chromatin in nuclei.
