Abstract An instrument has been built which reproducibly exerts measured amounts of force in an up and down rubbing motion to bean plant stems (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Cherokee Wax). The thigmostimulator has, for the first time, permitted an accurate determination of the relationship between the amount of mechanical stimulus or stress (MS) and the resulting elongation of the plant (E). Over the stress range used, the analyzed relationship is best expressed by the equation: E = m In MS + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the E-intercept. The sensory function is saturated at very low forces (e.g. 2 rubs at 3.59 N). Reciprocity between force and the number of stimuli holds only at low forces and numbers of stimuli (e.g. 12 rubs at 0.97 N to four rubs at 2.92 N). Analysis using linear regression and differential calculus reveals that for five 1-cm rubs, the sensory system is saturated at 6 N and that there is a threshold of 0.3 N below which no response occurs. Using the thigmostimulator for calibration, two 1-cm rubs given by hand are equivalent to a force of 4.41 ± 0.60 N. The thigmostimulator also allows equivalent calibration of other types of mechanical perturbations. 相似文献

Mechanical perturbation of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) internodes results in reduced elongation and increased diameter of the internodes (thigmomorphogenesis). Perturbation of a single lower internode results in thigmorphogenesis in that internode and all of those internodes above it, the degree of which depends on the age (size) of the internodes and the frequency of perturbation. Application of ethephon to the internodes mimics mechanical perturbation. Early removal of the shoot tip or the cotyledons does not effect thigmomorphogenesis, indicating that those organs do not exert control over the response. Mechanical perturbation of one plant of a pair grafted together at the first internodes results in thigmomorphogenesis in both plants. This indicates the transport of some factor from the mechanically perturbed donor to the non-treated receiver. Evidence is presented to support the contention that ethylene is not this transportable factor. 相似文献

Effects of Chlorpromazine on Gravitropism in Avena Coleoptiles 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Chlorpromazine (CPZ), an inhibitor of the calcium-activatedform of calmodulin, is readily taken up by the roots of intactoat seedlings but poorly translocated from the roots to thecoleoptile of these plants. However, plants repeatedly rotatedthrough solutions containing low concentrations of CPZ (108105M)are infiltrated, and under these conditions, CPZ significantlyinhibits the negative gravitropic response of the coleoptilewithout retarding elongation growth. This effect is observablein decapitated (apical 12 mm removed) coleoptilesections and in intact whole coleoptiles. If exogenous auxinis supplied to the decapitated sections, both their growth ratesand gravitropic responsiveness are increased and, under theseconditions, CPZ can reduce the gravitropic curvature withoutreducing the overall growth rate. These results are discussedin relation to the possible role of calmodulin-dependent calcium-ionpumps in gravitropism. chlorpromazine, gravitropism, calmodulin, calcium, oat, Avena sativa 相似文献

Thigmomorphogenesis: Changes in Cell Division and Elongation in the Internodes of Mechanically-perturbed or Ethrel-treated Bean Plants 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Examination of first internodes of young Phaseolus vulgarisL. plants which have been subjected to mechanical perturbationshows decreased elongation and increased radial growth. Thedecreased elongation can be attributed to both reduced cellelongation of epidermal and cortical cells and a reduced numberof cells in the vascular and pith tissues. The increased radialenlargement is due to increased cortical cell expansion andincreased secondary xylem production resulting from increasedcambial activity. All of these responses are observable withina few hours of a single mechanical perturbation. Treatment ofplants with ethrel mimics all of these effects of mechanicalperturbation.
