Rising global temperature and CO2 levels may sustain late-season net photosynthesis of evergreen conifers but could also impair the development of cold hardiness. Our study investigated how elevated temperature, and the combination of elevated temperature with elevated CO2, affected photosynthetic rates, leaf carbohydrates, freezing tolerance, and proteins involved in photosynthesis and cold hardening in Eastern white pine (Pinus strobus). We designed an experiment where control seedlings were acclimated to long photoperiod (day/night 14/10 h), warm temperature (22°C/15°C), and either ambient (400 μL L−1) or elevated (800 μmol mol−1) CO2, and then shifted seedlings to growth conditions with short photoperiod (8/16 h) and low temperature/ambient CO2 (LTAC), elevated temperature/ambient CO2 (ETAC), or elevated temperature/elevated CO2 (ETEC). Exposure to LTAC induced down-regulation of photosynthesis, development of sustained nonphotochemical quenching, accumulation of soluble carbohydrates, expression of a 16-kD dehydrin absent under long photoperiod, and increased freezing tolerance. In ETAC seedlings, photosynthesis was not down-regulated, while accumulation of soluble carbohydrates, dehydrin expression, and freezing tolerance were impaired. ETEC seedlings revealed increased photosynthesis and improved water use efficiency but impaired dehydrin expression and freezing tolerance similar to ETAC seedlings. Sixteen-kilodalton dehydrin expression strongly correlated with increases in freezing tolerance, suggesting its involvement in the development of cold hardiness in P. strobus. Our findings suggest that exposure to elevated temperature and CO2 during autumn can delay down-regulation of photosynthesis and stimulate late-season net photosynthesis in P. strobus seedlings. However, this comes at the cost of impaired freezing tolerance. Elevated temperature and CO2 also impaired freezing tolerance. However, unless the frequency and timing of extreme low-temperature events changes, this is unlikely to increase risk of freezing damage in P. strobus seedlings.Land surface temperature is increasing, particularly in the northern hemisphere (IPCC, 2014), which is dominated by boreal and temperate forests. At higher latitudes, trees rely on temperature and photoperiod cues to detect changing seasons and to trigger cessation of growth and cold hardening during the autumn (Ensminger et al., 2015). For boreal and temperate evergreen conifers, cold hardening involves changes in carbohydrate metabolism, down-regulation of photosynthesis, accumulation of cryoprotective metabolites, and development of freezing tolerance (Crosatti et al., 2013; Ensminger et al., 2015). These processes minimize freezing damage and enable conifers to endure winter stresses. However, rising temperatures result in asynchronous phasing of temperature and photoperiod characterized by delayed arrival of first frosts (McMahon et al., 2010), which may impact the onset and development of cold hardening during autumn.Short photoperiod induces the cessation of growth in many tree species (Downs and Borthwick, 1956; Heide, 1974; Repo et al., 2000; Böhlenius et al., 2006). As a consequence, carbon demand in sink tissue decreases toward the end of the growing season, and the bulk of photoassimilate is translocated from source tissues to storage tissues (Hansen and Beck, 1994; Oleksyn et al., 2000). In addition, cryoprotective soluble sugars, including sucrose, raffinose, and pinitol, accumulate in leaf tissues to enhance freezing tolerance (Strimbeck et al., 2008; Angelcheva et al., 2014). Thus, by winter, leaf nonstructural carbohydrates are mainly comprised of mono- and oligosaccharides, and only minimal levels of starch remain (Hansen and Beck, 1994; Strimbeck et al., 2008). The concurrent decrease of photoassimilate and demand for metabolites that occur during the cessation of growth also impacts the citric acid cycle that mediates between photosynthesis, respiration, and protein synthesis. The citric acid cycle generates NADH to fuel ATP synthesis via mitochondrial electron transport, as well as amino acid precursors (Shi et al., 2015). In C3 plants, the enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) converts phosphoenolpyruvate to oxaloacetic acid in order to supplement the flow of metabolites to the citric acid cycle and thus controls the regulation of respiration and photosynthate partitioning (O’Leary et al., 2011).Cessation of growth, low temperature, and presumably short photoperiod decrease the metabolic sink for photoassimilates, resulting in harmful excess light energy (Öquist and Huner, 2003; Ensminger et al., 2006) and increased generation of reactive oxygen species (Adams et al., 2004). During autumn and the development of cold hardiness, conifers reconfigure the photosynthetic apparatus in order to avoid formation of excess light and reactive oxygen species. This involves a decrease in chlorophylls and PSII reaction center core protein D1 (Ottander et al., 1995; Ensminger et al., 2004; Verhoeven et al., 2009), as well as aggregation of light-harvesting complex proteins (Ottander et al., 1995; Busch et al., 2007). Additionally, photoprotective carotenoid pigments accumulate in leaves, especially the xanthophylls, zeaxanthin, and lutein that contribute to nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) via thermal dissipation of excess light energy (Busch et al., 2007; Verhoeven et al., 2009; Demmig-Adams et al., 2012). Prolonged exposure to low temperature induces sustained nonphotochemical quenching (NPQS), where zeaxanthin constitutively dissipates excess light energy (Ensminger et al., 2004; Demmig-Adams et al., 2012; Fréchette et al., 2015).In conifers, freezing tolerance is initiated during early autumn in response to decreasing photoperiod (Rostad et al., 2006; Chang et al., 2015) and continues to develop through late autumn in response to the combination of short photoperiod and low temperature (Strimbeck and Schaberg, 2009; Chang et al., 2015). In addition to changes in carbohydrate content, freezing tolerance also involves the expression of specific dehydrins (Close, 1997; Kjellsen et al., 2013). Members of the dehydrin protein family are involved in responses to osmotic, salt, and freezing stress (Close, 1996). Dehydrins have been associated with improved freezing tolerance in many species including spinach (Kaye et al., 1998), strawberry (Houde et al., 2004), cucumber (Yin et al., 2006), peach (Wisniewski et al., 1999), birch (Puhakainen et al., 2004), and spruce (Kjellsen et al., 2013). In angiosperms, a characteristic Lys-rich dehydrin motif known as the K-segment interacts with lipids to facilitate membrane binding (Koag et al., 2003; Eriksson et al., 2011). Several in vitro studies have demonstrated dehydrin functions including prevention of aggregation and unfolding of enzymes (using Vitis riparia; Hughes and Graether, 2011), radical scavenging (using Citrus unshiu; Hara et al., 2004), and suppression of ice crystal formation (using Prunus persica; Wisniewski et al., 1999). To date, dehydrin functions have not been demonstrated in planta.Rising temperatures since the mid-twentieth century have delayed the onset of autumn dormancy and increased length of the growing season in forests across the northern hemisphere (Boisvenue and Running, 2006; Piao et al., 2007; McMahon et al., 2010). Studies have shown that elevated temperatures ranging from +4°C to +20°C above ambient can delay down-regulation of photosynthesis in several evergreen conifers. Consistent findings were apparent among climate-controlled chamber studies exposing Pinus strobus seedlings to a sudden shift in temperature and/or photoperiod (Fréchette et al., 2016), as well as chamber studies exposing Picea abies seedlings to simulated autumn conditions using a gradient of decreasing temperature and photoperiod (Stinziano et al., 2015). Similar findings were also demonstrated in open-top chamber experiments exposing mature Pinus sylvestris to a gradient of decreasing temperature and natural photoperiod (Wang, 1996). Elevated temperature (+4°C above ambient) also impaired cold hardening in Pseudotsuga menziesii seedlings (Guak et al., 1998) and mature P. sylvestris (Repo et al., 1996) exposed to a decreasing gradient of temperature and natural photoperiod using open-top chambers. In contrast, a recent study showed that smaller temperature increments (+1.5°C to +3°C) applied using infrared heaters did not delay down-regulation of photosynthesis or impair freezing tolerance in field-grown P. strobus seedlings that were acclimated to larger diurnal and seasonal temperature variations (Chang et al., 2015). For many tree species, photoperiod determines cessation of growth (Tanino et al., 2010; Petterle et al., 2013), length of the growing season (Bauerle et al., 2012), and development of cold hardiness (Welling et al., 1997; Li et al., 2003; Rostad et al., 2006). However, the effects of climate warming on tree phenology are complex and can be unpredictable due to species- and provenance-specific differences in sensitivity to photoperiod and temperature cues (Körner and Basler, 2010; Basler and Körner, 2012; Basler and Körner, 2014).The effect of elevated CO2 further increases uncertainties in the response of trees to warmer climate. Similar to warmer temperature, elevated CO2 may also delay the down-regulation of photosynthesis in evergreens and extend the length of the growing season, as demonstrated in mature P. sylvestris (Wang, 1996). Elevated CO2 increases carbon assimilation (Curtis and Wang, 1998; Ainsworth and Long, 2005) and biomass production (Ainsworth and Long, 2005) during the growing season. The effects could continue during the autumn if dormancy or growth cessation is delayed, which suggests that elevated CO2 may increase annual carbon uptake. However, long-term exposure to elevated CO2 can also down-regulate photosynthesis during the growing season (Ainsworth and Long, 2005). Prior studies that have attempted to determine the impact of a combination of elevated CO2 and/or temperature on cold hardening in evergreens have largely focused on freezing tolerance, with contrasting results. Open-top chamber experiments showed that a combination of elevated temperature and CO2 both delayed and impaired freezing tolerance of P. menziesii seedlings (Guak et al., 1998) and evergreen broadleaf Eucalyptus pauciflora seedlings (Loveys et al., 2006) but did not affect freezing tolerance of mature P. sylvestris (Repo et al., 1996). A recent field experiment examining mature trees revealed that Larix decidua, but not Pinus mugo, exhibited enhanced freezing damage following six years of exposure to combined soil warming and elevated CO2 (Rixen et al., 2012). In contrast, a climate-controlled study showed that exposure to elevated CO2 advanced the date of bud set and improved freezing tolerance in Picea mariana seedlings (Bigras and Bertrand, 2006). In a second study on similar seedlings conducted by the same authors, exposure of trees to elevated CO2 also enhanced freezing tolerance but impaired the accumulation of sucrose and raffinose (Bertrand and Bigras, 2006). These previous experiments used experimental conditions where temperature and photoperiod gradually decreased. While this approach aims to mimic natural conditions, it is difficult to distinguish specific responses to either photoperiod or temperature. Because of the contrasting findings from previous studies, we designed an experiment aiming to separate the effects of photoperiod, temperature, and CO2 on a wide range of parameters that are involved in cold hardening in conifers.Our study aimed to determine (1) how induction and development of the cold hardening process is affected by a shift from long to short photoperiod under warm conditions and (2) how the combination of warm air temperature and elevated CO2 affects photoperiod-induced cold hardening processes in Eastern white pine (P. strobus). To assess the development of cold hardening, we measured photosynthetic rates, changes in leaf carbohydrates, freezing tolerance, and proteins involved in photosynthesis and cold hardening over 36 d. Assuming that both low temperature and short photoperiod cues are required to induce cold hardening in conifers, we hypothesized that warm temperature and the combination of warm temperature and elevated CO2 would prevent seedlings growing under autumn photoperiod from down-regulating photosynthesis. We further hypothesized that warm temperature and the combination of warm temperature and elevated CO2 would impair the development of freezing tolerance, due to a lack of adequate phasing of the low temperature and short photoperiod signals.  相似文献

Cell walls are vital to the normal growth and development of plants as they protect the protoplast and provide rigidity to the stem. Here, two poplar and Arabidopsis orthologous endoglucanases, which have been proposed to play a role in secondary cell wall development, were examined. The class B endoglucanases, Pt GH9B5 and At GH9B5, are secreted enzymes that have a predicted glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor, while the class C endoglucanases, Pt GH9C2 and At GH9C2, are also predicted to be secreted but instead contain a carbohydrate-binding module.The poplar endoglucanases were expressed in Arabidopsis using both a 35 S promoter and the Arabidopsis secondary cell wall-specific Ces A8 promoter. Additionally, Arabidopsis t-DNA insertion lines and an RNAiconstruct was created to downregulate At GH9C2 in Arabidopsis. All of the plant lines were examined for changes in cell morphology and patterning, growth and development, cell wall crystallinity, micro fibril angle, and proportion of cell wall carbohydrates. Misregulation of Pt GH9B5/At GH9B5 resulted in changes in xylose content, while misregulation of Pt GH9C2/At GH9C2 resulted in changes in crystallinity, which was inversely correlated with changes in plant height and rosette diameter. Together, these results suggest that these endoglucanases affect secondary cell wall development by contributing to the cell wall crystallization process.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: The symptom triad of autosomal dominant Currarino syndrome (CS; MIM #176450) consists of anorectal malformation, a sacral bone defect, and presacral masses. Mutations in the homeoboxHLXB9 gene have already been described in a subset of sacrococcygeal anomalies characterized by partial sacral agenesis. CASE: We report a 28-year-old male patient with Currarino syndrome due to a heterozygous novel frame-shift mutation c.336dupG (p.P113fsX224) in the homeoboxHLXB9 gene. CONCLUSIONS: Molecular diagnostics may be helpful in cases of Hirschsprung's disease accompanied by other symptoms suggestive for Currarino syndrome, since it can lead to major complications such as perianal sepsis, meningitis, and malignant transformation.  相似文献

Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells secrete vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a cytokine known to promote angiogenesis. Results from RNase protection assays (RPAs) show that RPE from non-diabetic human donors and from adult retinal pigment epithelium-19 (ARPE-19) cells expressed significant bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) message. In addition, ARPE-19 cells cultured in high glucose (25 mM), compared to those in physiological glucose (5.5 mM) released significantly more BMP-4 into the conditioned media (CM). However, the effect of BMP-4 on the release of VEGF by ARPE-19 cells has not been studied. Accordingly, ARPE-19 cells were treated with BMP-4 to determine VEGF secretion. BMP-4 and VEGF levels in the CM and cell lysates were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Cells treated with exogenous BMP-4 had higher VEGF in the CM and this treatment effect was dose- and time-dependent, while cell lysates had low levels of VEGF. Addition of cycloheximide (CHX) or actinomycin-D (ACT) significantly reduced VEGF secretion from cells treated with BMP-4, suggesting that the BMP-4-induced secretion of VEGF requires new RNA and protein synthesis. Our results suggest that BMP-4 may play a role in the regulation of ocular angiogenesis associated with diabetic retinopathy (DR) by stimulating VEGF release from RPE cells.  相似文献

Preeclampsia remains a leading cause of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity worldwide; however, its specific etiology still remains obscure. Some studies implicate poor maternal selenium status predisposing the mother to preeclampsia. This study was designed to determine changes in plasma selenium levels in women having preeclampsia as compared with those with normal pregnancy. In a nested case–control study, 650 normal primigravida in their first 24–28 weeks participated in the study. After 3 months of follow-up of all subjects, blood selenium levels were measured in 38 women presenting consecutively with preeclampsia and in 38 women having a normal pregnancy by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Birth outcomes were recorded, such as gestational age at delivery, height, weight, birth head circumflex and 1-min Apgar score. Preeclampsia affects about 5.84 % of pregnancies, and in our study, there were no significant differences in age, anthropometric indices, and family history of preeclampsia between the preeclamptic and control groups. The selenium concentrations in plasma in women with preeclampsia were significantly lower as compared with those in women with normal pregnancy (70.63?±?21.41 versus 82.03?±?15.54 μg/L, p?<?0.05). Being in the bottom tertile of selenium concentration (less than 62.2 μg/L) was associated with greater risk of preeclampsia in pregnant women. The reduced selenium in the maternal circulations observed in the preeclamptic mothers support the hypothesis that insufficient selenium concentration may be a contributing factor to the pathophysiological mechanisms associated with preeclampsia, and optimizing the dietary selenium intake through supplementation could produce demonstrable clinical benefits.  相似文献

The level of laminin receptor expression on tumor cell surface has been correlated with the capacity of tumor cells to metastasize. In the present work we show that indomethacin treatment of a low metastatic 3LL tumor cells increases the ability of these cells to form lung metastasis and the binding of [125I] laminin on their cell surface. Scatchard analysis showed that the incubation with indomethacin (10(-7) M) for 48 h induced a specific increase of laminin binding sites on 3LL cell surface (1.5 fold per cell), presenting both a high and low affinity class of binding sites. On the other hand, indomethacin treatment (2 mg/kg weight) of tumor bearing mice increased the number of spontaneous metastatic nodules on the lung surface. Likewise, when 3LL tumor cells were incubated with indomethacin (10(-7) M) for 48 h, we observed an enhancement of lung metastatic nodules after intravenous injection of tumor cells. This last effect was partially reversed by peptides DPGYIGSR or YIGSR, corresponding to the active site at the B1 chain of laminin, with ability to bind the 67-kD laminin cell surface receptors. In summary, our results show that the increased attachment of 3LL tumor cells to laminin mediated by indomethacin is directly correlated with the metastatic activity of these cells, and suggests that the indomethacin effect on the metastatic potential could involve a modulation of laminin receptors on tumor cell surface.  相似文献

Epigenomes have remarkable potential for the estimation of plant traits. This study tested the hypothesis that natural variation in DNA methylation can be used to estimate industrially important traits in a genetically diverse population of Populus balsamifera L. (balsam poplar) trees grown at two common garden sites. Statistical learning experiments enabled by deep learning models revealed that plant traits in novel genotypes can be modelled transparently using small numbers of methylated DNA predictors. Using this approach, tissue type, a nonheritable attribute, from which DNA methylomes were derived was assigned, and provenance, a purely heritable trait and an element of population structure, was determined. Significant proportions of phenotypic variance in quantitative wood traits, including total biomass (57.5%), wood density (40.9%), soluble lignin (25.3%) and cell wall carbohydrate (mannose: 44.8%) contents, were also explained from natural variation in DNA methylation. Modelling plant traits using DNA methylation can capture tissue‐specific epigenetic mechanisms underlying plant phenotypes in natural environments. DNA methylation‐based models offer new insight into natural epigenetic influence on plants and can be used as a strategy to validate the identity, provenance or quality of agroforestry products.  相似文献

The distribution pattern and the number of tumor cells arrested in the liver were studied in mouse livers. Mice were perfused intravascularly with a suspension of B16F10 melanoma cells. The animals were sacrificed at 0, 1, 5, and 20 min after tumor cell perfusion. The pattern of tumor cell distribution was studied by morphological methods, and by a combined method of fluorescent-tumor cell labelling and histochemical succinate dehydrogenase activity on frozen sections, in order to define the localization of tumor cells arrested in the liver lobule. The results show that the tumor cells have an exclusive distribution in the periportal regions of the liver lobule (identified as the high succinate dehydrogenase activity areas), and that the cells are not arrested in the pericentral regions (identified as the low succinate dehydrogenase activity areas). In addition, indomethacin treatment (2 mg/kg/day) induced an increase in the number of melanoma cells arrested in the liver, but a different distribution with respect to controls was not observed. These results show that periportal regions of the liver lobule constitute a particular domain in which the B16F10 melanoma cells present a special retention ability that can be modulated by indomethacin treatment.  相似文献

Odontogenesis is governed by a complex network of intercellular signaling events between the dental epithelium and mesenchyme. This network leads to the progressive determination of tooth shape, and to the differentiation of these tissues into enamel-producing ameloblasts and dentin-producing odontoblasts respectively. Among the main signaling pathways involved in the regulation of tooth development, Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP), Sonic hedgehog (Shh) and Wingless-type MMTV integration site (Wnt) pathways have been reported to play significant roles. Recently, the phenotype of mice deficient in Epiprofin/Sp6 (Epfn) has been found to present striking dental abnormalities, including a complete lack of differentiated ameloblasts and consequently no enamel, highly altered molar cusp patterns and the formation of multiple supernumerary teeth. In this article, we review the interaction of Epfn with the BMP, Shh and Wnt pathways in the regulation of tooth development, based on the data obtained from the study of several genetically modified mice.  相似文献
