Effects of applied auxin,gibberellin and cytokinin on the activity of peroxidases in the peduncles of rose flowers

The activity of peroxidases in the proximal part of the flower peduncle of rose cv. Nubia was promoted by exogenous application of auxin but not by gibberellin or cytokinin. In cv. Mercedes the activity was promoted also by gibberellin and cytokinin. In the distal parts of the peduncles of both cultivars, peroxidase activity was not affected by any of the applied growth regulators. In young flowers of cv. Nubia the protein content of the penduncles was affected only by cytokinin, and in aged flowers only by auxin, while in Mercedes peduncles the content of protein was not affected by any of the applied growth regulators. The specific activity of peroxidases was promoted by auxin in peduncles of Nubia and by both auxin and cytokinin in peduncles of Mercedes flowers.     

Vascular occlusion in stems of cut rose flowers exposed to air: Role of xylem anatomy and rates of transpiration

Stems of cut rose flowers were exposed to air at 20°C and 60% relative humidity and then placed in water. The rate of water uptake in Frisco, Sonia, Madelon, and Cara Mia roses was maximally inhibited after 72, 36, 24, and 3 h of exposure to air. respectively. Anatomical observations showed no tyloses, gums, or deposition of hydrophobic material in the xylem conduits (tracheids and vessels) of any of the investigated cultivars. Frisco, Sonia, Madelon, and Cara Mia roses showed no difference in the number, the length, the wall thickness, or the diameter of the lumina of either the tracheids or the vessels. This indicates that differences in recovery are not related to capillary diameter or length.
During exposure to air the decrease in transpiration rate, fresh weight, and water potential was the same in Sonia, Madelon, and Cara Mia roses. Upon exposure to air Frisco roses lost less water than the other cultivars studied In Frisco roses stomatal conductance was similar to that of other cultivars, but the rate of cuticular transpiration was lower.
It is concluded that conservation of water through low cuticular transpiration is one of the reasons for the relatively slow development of the vascular occlusion in Frisco roses, but the differences between Sonia. Madelon and Cara Mia roses were not related to their rates of transpiration.     

Cytokinins in Rosa hybrida in relation to bud break

To assess the role of endogenous cytokinins in growth and development of Rosa hybrida , their concentrations in bleeding sap and in roots, stem, leaves, axillary shoots and bottom breaks in three stages of development were quantified. Cytokinins were purified by means of immunoaffinity chromatography and HPLC, and identified by retention time, UV spectrum and GC-MS. The major translocation form in the xylem was zeatin riboside (ZR). In all mature tissues, cytokinins of the zeatin-type were predominant, amounting to 80–90% of the total cytokinin concentration. The stems contained high concentrations of cytokinins, probably caused by lateral movement of ZR from the xylem to adjacent stem tissue and the ability of the stem to metabolize cytokinins. In young leaves the contribution of isopentenyl adenine (iP)-type cytokinins to the total cytokinin pool was about 50%, indicating that these leaves might be capable of de novo synthesis of cytokinins. In older leaves, the concentration of an unidentified cytokinin-like compound increased to more than 50% of total cytokinins. This compound, which was also found in the roots, might be a storage form of cytokinins. In young axillary shoots, about 50% of the cytokinins are iP-compounds, suggesting either import of iP-type cytokinins via the phloem or de novo synthesis of cytokinins. In buds forming bottom breaks, ZR and zeatin riboside monophosphate (ZRMP) are the main cytokinins, indicating that these buds receive their cytokinins from the roots.

Sucrose uptake and metabolism in a double layer system for micropropagation ofRosa multiflora

Uptake and metabolism of sucrose in micropropagatedRosa multiflora using the double layer technique was investigated. In the multiplication as well as the root induction stage, hydrolysis of sucrose in the culture medium was observed. A mathematical model was developed to quantify sucrose hydrolysis and the uptake of sucrose, glucose and fructose, based on the time series for the different sugars in the culture medium. These data were linked to a study of the sugar metabolism in the microshoots. After 48 h of incubation on¹⁴C-[U]-glucose containing medium, the incorporated label was mainly detected in the ethanol soluble fraction; within this fraction sucrose was the most important compound. This indicates a significant re-synthesis of sucrose in the plant material after the uptake of hexose. To assess the extent that different enzymes of sucrose metabolism (invertases, sucrose synthase and sucrose-P-synthase) were involved, their activity in different plant parts (of final stage III microshoots) were assayed. A decreasing gradient for sucrose metabolising enzymes from the roots toward the leaves gave a good indication of how the different tissues depend on sucrose absorbed from the medium.     

Physiological response of cut rose flowers to cold storage

The effects of low temperature storage on the physiology of cut rose flowers ( Rosa hybridaL. cv. Mercedes) were studied. Extension of cold storage or increase in temperature (from 3 to 8°C) was accompanied by shortening of vase life and advancement of petal senescence, as reflected in an advance in the timing of the rise in ethylene production and an increase in membrane permeability (ion leakage). Although storage at a relative humidity (RH) of 65% reduced petal water content by 20% in comparison with flowers stored at 95% RH, it did not shorten vase life. The progression of petal senescence was measured during storage at 3°C and during aging at 22°C. Both ethylene production rates and membrane microviscosity measured by fluorescence depolarization increased with time at 3°C and at 22°C, but more slowly at 3°C. At 3°C membrane permeability measured by ion leakage did not increase. Following cold storage the rate of ethylene production in the petals was increased by up to eight times the rate in unstored flowers. Silver thiosulphate extended the vase life of both stored and fresh flowers equally by 2 days, but did not increase the life of stored flowers to that of treated fresh flowers. It is concluded that the primary effect of cold storage on roses is to slow down senescence and that the continued slow senescence leads to shorter vase life. The possible occurrence of sequential processes during senescence and the effects of temperature on these processes is discussed.     

Somatic embryogenesis in callus cultures of Rosa hybrida L. cv. Landora

Callus was initiated from immature leaf and stem segments of rose (Rosa hybrida cv. Landora) and subcultured every four weeks on a basal medium of half-strength Murashige & Skoog (1962) salts plus 30 g l^-1 sucrose (1/2 MS) and supplemented with 2.2 M BA, 5.4 M NAA and 2.2–9.0 M 2,4-D. Embryogenic callus and subsequently somatic embryos were obtained from 8-week-old callus culture on 1/2 MS+2.2 M BA+0.05 M NAA+0.3 M GA₃+200–800 mg l^-1 L-proline. Long-term cultures were established and maintained for up to 16 months by repeated subculture of embryogenic callus on L-proline deficient medium. About 12% of cotyledonary stage embryos taken from cultures cold-stored at 8±1°C for 4 days germinated on 1/2 MS+2.2 M BA+0.3 M GA₃+24.7 M adenine sulphate.Abbreviations BA benzyladenine - NAA -naphthaleneacetic acid - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - GA₃ gibberellic acid     

刺梨胚及胚乳的发育

本研究对单瓣刺梨胚及胚乳的发育过程进行了观察,获得如下主要结果:1.刺梨胚的发育属于紫菀型的一种变异类型。原胚发育早期,在胚体顶端具有明显的胚芽原细胞。成熟胚为典型的双子叶植物胚的形态,在子叶中贮藏大量的蛋白质粒。2.刺梨的胚乳属核型。经游离核时期以后形成胚乳细胞。紧邻胚囊周界壁的表层胚乳细胞可以进行平周分裂,产生层叠状的胚乳周缘层。此种后形成的胚乳,我们称之为次生胚乳。当次生胚乳形成时,其余的胚乳细胞逐渐解体,最后几乎完全消失。次生胚乳只在合点处解体,其余保留至种子成熟。3.发现了开花后一些胚珠中无胚或胚和胚乳在发育早期退化的现象,可认为是刺梨种子不育的一个重要原因。
