The effect of sodium fluoride (10 and 50 mol·m−3) on the activities of sucrose metabolizing enzymes, transaminases and glutamine synthetase in relation to the transformation of free sugars to starch and protein in the fruiting structures (pod wall, seed coat, cotyledons) of chickpea was studied by culturing detached reproductive shoots in a liquid medium. Addition of fluoride to the culture medium drastically reduced starch content of the cotyledons and caused a marked build-up of total free sugars comprised mainly of reducing sugars in the pod wall and seed coat, and sucrose in the cotyledons. Concomitantly, the activity of soluble invertase was stimulated in the pod wall but reduced in the cotyledons. However, soluble protein content of both the pod wall and the cotyledons increased in conjunction with an increase in the activities of glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase, glutamate-pyruvate transaminase and glutamine synthetase. Disruption of starch biosynthesis under the influence of fluoride and the resulting accumulation of free sugars possibly resulted in their favoured utilization in nitrogen metabolism. Labelling studies with [U-14C]-sucrose showed that the 14C incorporation into total free sugars was enhanced by fluoride in the pod wall but reduced in the seed coat and cotyledons, possibly due to an inhibitory effect on their translocation to the developing seeds.  相似文献

Detached ears of wheat were cultured in liquid medium manipulated for sucrose and glutamine contents, and the accumulation of starch and protein in relation to the activities of sucrose cleaving—, ammonia assimilating—, and transaminating enzymes was studied in the grain. With an increase in the concentrations of sucrose from 44 to 176 mM and glutamine from 6.4 to 25.7 mM (keeping their ratio at a constant value of 7:1), the contents of starch and protein increased in the grains. However, when the grains were cultured in the medium containing 8.5 to 34 mM glutamine and a fixed concentration of 117 mM sucrose, there was a gradual increase in protein and decrease in starch content in the grain. By such manipulation in the liquid medium, the content of free amino acids also increased in the grain up to 12 days culturing. Amongst sucrose cleaving enzymes, the activities of sucrose-UDP glucosyl transferase and soluble alkaline invertase were much lower than the activity of soluble acid invertase. At high concentration (34 mM) of glutamine in the medium, containing 117 mM sucrose, there was drastic decrease in the activities of soluble acid invertase and UDPG pyrophosphorylase but the activities of ADPG pyrophosphorylase, alkaline inorganic pyrophosphatase, glutamate dehydrogenase, glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase and glutamate pyruvate transaminase increased in the grain with increase in glutamine concentration in the culture medium. Evidently, an increase in the level of amino nitrogen, coupled with an optimum sucrose concentration in the grain raised through liquid culturing enhances the conversion of sucrose to protein at the cost of starch accumulation in wheat.  相似文献

Enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism in the developing rice grain   总被引:14,自引:5,他引:9       下载免费PDF全文
The levels of reducing and nonreducing sugars, starch, soluble protein, and selected enzymes involved in the metabolism of sucrose, glucose-1-P, and glucose nucleotides were assayed in dehulled developing rice grains (Oryza sativa L. line IR1541-76-3) during the first 3 weeks after flowering. The level of reducing sugars in the grain was highest 5 to 6 days after flowering. The level of nonreducing sugars and the rate of starch accumulation were maximum 11 to 12 days after flowering, when the level of soluble protein was also the highest. The activities of bound and free invertase, sucrose-UDP and sucrose-ADP glucosyltransferases, hexokinase, phosphoglucomutase, nucleoside diphosphokinase, and UDP-glucose and ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylases were high throughout starch deposition, and were maximum, except for nucleoside diphosphokinase which did not increase in activity, between 8 and 18 days after flowering. Soluble primed phosphorylase and ADP glucose-α-glucosyltransferase (starch synthetase) were both present during starch accumulation. Phosphorylase activity was at least 2-fold that of soluble starch synthetase but the synthetase followed more closely the rate of starch accumulation in the grain. The activity of starch synthetase bound to the starch granule also increased progressively with increased starch content of the grain.  相似文献

Three experiments of in vitro ear culture were conducted to evaluate how the substrates of C (carbon) and N (nitrogen) supply in liquid medium regulate the grain growth and synthesis of protein and starch in two winter wheat cultivars. Increasing glutamine supply with constant sucrose concentration increased the contents of total protein and protein components of albumin and globulin in grain, and the activity of glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) across most treatments, while markedly reducing the contents of total starch and components of amylose and amylopectin as well as the activities of soluble starch synthase (SSS) and granule bounded starch synthase (GBSS). The opposite patterns were observed in the experiment of increasing sucrose supply at constant glutamine concentration. When simultaneously increasing sucrose and glutamine supply at constant ratio, the contents of total protein, albumin and globulin in grain were slowly enhanced, whereas the contents of total starch, amylose and amylopectin and the activities of SSS, GBSS and GPT increased only to a certain extent and then decreased. Negative correlations were found between the contents of protein or protein components in grains and the relative ratio of sucrose to glutamine concentrations in the culture medium, while positive correlations were seen between the contents of total starch or starch components and the ratio of sucrose to glutamine. These results implied that the composition of protein and starch in wheat grain could be readily manipulated by varying the concentrations of sucrose and glutamine and their ratio in the culture medium.  相似文献

Indole-acetic acid (IAA) and abscisic acid (ABA) were fed throughcomplete liquid medium (containing 2, 4, 8% sucrose) to detached earheads of sorghum. The effect of these phytohormones on interconvertion ofsugarsand their transformation to starch in relation to the activities of-, -amylases, sucrose-synthase (synthesis), sucrose-phosphatesynthase and soluble invertases was studied in the grain. This effect on theuptake of (U-14C) sucrose by detached ear heads and incorporation of14C into free sugars and starch of grain and into free sugars ofinflorescence parts was also studied. At concentrations of up to 4%sucrose in the culture medium, IAA increased the content of total free sugarsinthe grain. However, accumulation of starch and activities of - and-amylases increased when lAA was present even beyond the 4%sucroseconcentration in the culture medium. At all sucrose concentrations, the effectsof ABA and IAA were opposite. With 4% sucrose, both phytohormones causedmaximum accumulation of starch in the grain. ABA enhanced the relativeproportion of sucrose in the sugar pool with a concomitant reduction in theactivities of soluble acid (pH 4.8) and neutral (pH 7.5) invertases. Incontrast, IAA decreased the sucrose proportion of grain sugars with asimultaneous elevation and reduction in the activities of invertases andsucrose-phosphate synthase, respectively. Irrespective of sucrose concentrationin the culture medium, the activity of sucrose synthase (synthesis) wasenhancedwith IAA as well as ABA at their 10 M concentration. IAA alsoenhanced incorporation of 14C from (U-14C) sucrose intothe EtOH extract (principally constituted by free sugars) and starch of thegrain, but ABA caused the reverse effect. Based on the results, it is suggestedthat IAA and ABA have contrasting effects on the transformation of sucrose tostarch in sorghum grain where its capacity to synthesise starch is modulatedpositively by IAA and negatively by ABA.  相似文献

Mobilization of free sugars from vegetative tissues to grain and their transformation to starch in relation to activities of some relevant enzymes during growth and development were investigated in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Vegetative tissues, viz. flag-leaf, flag-leaf sheath, nodes and internodes contained high concentration of free sugars from 70 DAS to 18 DPA and that was in the order of accumulation--flag-leaf sheath> flag-leaf and internodes > nodes. In these tissues, major portion of 14C appeared in endogenous sucrose, irrespective of the nature of (U-14C]-sugars supplied. In photosynthetic structures above flag-leaf node, namely peduncle, rachis and bracts, the free sugar make-up was maximum at anthesis (90 DAS). Activity of soluble acid invertase (EC 3.2.1.26) was high in these tissues during early stages of grain growth but reverse was true for soluble neutral invertase (EC 3.2.1.27) activity. In apical and basal portions of grain, free sugars were more or less similarly distributed in concentration. Linear and rapid accumulation of starch in endosperm paralleled with a decline in accumulation of this polymer in pericarp-aleurone. In the latter tissue, the activities of starch hydrolyzing enzymes, i.e alpha- and beta-amylases (3.2.1.1 and 3.2.1.2) were high during initial stages of grain growth. During active grain-filling, alkaline inorganic pyrophosphatase (EC 3.6.1.1) seemed to play a vital role during starch accumulation in endosperm, whereas the involvement of 3-PGA phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.38) was almost confined to pericarp-aleurone. Impairement of ear head photosynthesis by shading depressed starch synthesis (approximately 50%) indicating, thereby, the significant role of current photosynthates during grain-filling. The results suggested that grain growth in wheat was influenced by an efficient operation of source as well as regulatory factors, including enzymes, constituting intrinsic potential of grain sink.  相似文献

Accumulation of starch at expense of its free-sugar precursors was studied in the developing grains of the ‘SL-44’variety of Sorghum vulgare Pers. The content of starch gradually increased with the maturation of the grain and this increase was relatively fast until 18 days after anthesis. The daily rate of starch accumulation was at a maximum 15 days after anthesis. The content of total free sugars, reducing sugars, non-reducing sugars other than sucrose, total and non-sucrosyl fructose, and glucose also increased, reaching maximum values at 18 days after anthesis. Sucrose content gradually increased with a concomitant decrease in the activity of invertase, and sucrose was the major non-reducing sugar in the matured grains. Detached heads incubated in labelled sugars indicated that, compared to sucrose and fructose. 14C was more efficiently incorporated from glucose into grain starch, which was maximally synthesized at the mid-milky stage of grain development. Exogenous supply of NAD+ plus ATP stimulated the in vivo incorporation of 14C from sucrose to starch. The decline in the rate of starch accumulation did not synchronise with that of protein synthesis.  相似文献

The levels of free sugars, starch and enzymes involved in starch metabolism—sucrose synthetase, UDP and ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase, phosphorylase and starch synthetase—were assayed during seed development of three cultivars of mung bean (Vigna radiata). Free sugars and starch increased with increasing seed weight. Changes in levels of sucrose synthetase, UDP- and ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylases, and phosphorylase were paralleled by changes in starch accumulation. After the maximum activity levels of these enzymes had been reached, maximum activities of soluble starch synthetase and starch granule-bound starch synthetase occurred. There were high activities of sucrose synthetase and phosphorylase at maximum rates of starch accumulation. Thus, starch could be synthesized via the ADP glucose pathway in mung bean seeds. However, phosphorylase may account for the starch accumulation in the early stages of mung bean seed development.  相似文献

Sucrose and Nitrogen Supplies Regulate Growth of Maize Kernels   总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8  
The growth of maize (Zea mays L.) kernels depends on the availabilityof carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) assimilates supplied by the motherplant and the capacity of the kernel to use them. Our objectiveswere to study the effects of N and sucrose supply levels ongrowth and metabolism of maize kernels. Kernel explants of Pioneer34RO6 were culturedin vitro with varying combinations of N (5to 30 m M) and sucrose (117 to 467 m M). Maximum kernel growthwas obtained with 10 m M N and 292 m M sucrose in the medium,and a deficiency of one assimilate could not be overcome bya sufficiency of the other. Increasing the N supply led to increasesin the kernel sink capacity (number of cells and starch granulesin the endosperm), activity of certain enzymes (soluble andbound invertases, sucrose synthase, and aspartate aminotransaminase),starch, and the levels of N compounds (total-N, soluble protein,and free amino acids), and decreased the levels of C metabolites(sucrose and reducing sugars). Conversely, increasing the sucrosesupply increased the level of endosperm C metabolites, freeamino acids, and ADPG-PPase and alanine transaminase activities,but decreased the activity of soluble invertase and concentrationsof soluble protein and total-N. Thus, while C and N are interdependentand essential for accumulation of maximum kernel weight, theyappear to regulate growth by different means. Nitrogen supplyaids the establishment of kernel sink capacity, and promotesactivity of enzymes relating to sucrose and nitrogen uptake,while sucrose regulates the activities of invertase and ADPG-PPase.Copyright 1999 Annals of Botany Company Zea mays, maize,, invertase, ADPG-PPase, media composition, sucrose, nitrogen, C/N.  相似文献

The effects of increasing concentrations of nickel sulfate, NiSO4 (200 and 400 μM) in the growth medium on the content of starch and sugars and activity levels of enzymes involved in starch and sugar metabolism were examined in seedlings of the two Indica rice cvs. Malviya-36 and Pant-12. During a 5–20 day growth period of seedlings in sand cultures, with Ni treatment, no definite pattern of alteration in starch level could be observed in the seedlings. In both roots and shoots of the seedlings Ni treatment led to a significant decrease in activities of starch degrading enzymes α-amylase, β-amylase, whereas starch phosphorylase activity increased. The contents of reducing, non-reducing, and total sugars increased in Ni-treated rice seedlings with a concomitant increase in the activities of sucrose degrading enzymes acid invertase and sucrose synthase. However, the activity of sucrose synthesizing enzyme sucrose phosphate synthase declined. These results suggest that Ni toxicity in rice seedlings causes marked perturbation in metabolism of carbohydrates leading to increased accumulation of soluble sugars. Such perturbation could serve as a limiting factor for growth of rice seedlings in Ni polluted environments and accumulating soluble sugars could serve as compatible solutes in the cells under Ni toxicity conditions.  相似文献

Carbohydrate metabolism in growing rice seedlings under arsenic toxicity   总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7  
We studied in the seedlings of two rice cultivars (Malviya-36 and Pant-12) the effect of increasing levels of arsenic in situ on the content of sugars and the activity of several enzymes of starch and sucrose metabolism: alpha-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1), beta-amylase (EC 3.2.1.2), starch phosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.1), acid invertase (EC 3.2.1.26), sucrose synthase (EC 2.4.1.13) and sucrose phosphate synthase (EC 2.4.1.14). During a growth period of 10-20 d As2O3 at 25 and 50 microM in the growth medium caused an increase in reducing, non-reducing and total soluble sugars. An increased conversion of non-reducing to reducing sugars was observed concomitant with As toxicity. The activities of alpha-amylase, beta-amylase and sucrose phosphate synthase declined, whereas starch phosphorylase, acid invertase and sucrose synthase were found to be elevated. Results indicate that in rice seedlings arsenic toxicity causes perturbations in carbohydrate metabolism leading to the accumulation of soluble sugars by altering enzyme activity. Sucrose synthase possibly plays a positive role in synthesis of sucrose under As-toxicity.  相似文献

通过对洛阳地区海拔100、650和1010 m‘凤丹'牡丹籽粒发育过程中形态指标、营养成分和关键基因的表达分析,研究了不同海拔条件下‘凤丹'牡丹籽粒产量性状变化和可溶性糖、淀粉、可溶性蛋白质与脂肪酸间的转化规律,以及相关酶活性和油脂代谢关键基因差异表达。结果表明: ‘凤丹'牡丹单果籽粒产量性状随海拔的升高而升高,且高海拔‘凤丹'籽粒生长期长于低、中海拔。成熟籽粒中可溶性糖和淀粉含量随海拔的升高而增加,可溶性蛋白质和粗脂肪含量差异不显著。籽粒发育过程中蔗糖合成酶(SS)和蔗糖磷酸合成酶(SPS)活性呈现先降后升的趋势,花后90 d活性最低;丙酮酸脱氢酶(PDH)、谷丙转氨酶(GPT)和谷草转氨酶(GOT)活性均在花后50~90 d快速增加,花后90 d达到最大值。牡丹籽粒中乙酰CoA羧化酶基因(ACCase)和硬脂酰ACP脱氢酶基因(SAD)相对表达量在花后50 d达到最大值,而ω-6脂肪酸去饱和酶2(FAD2)相对表达量在花后90 d达到最大值。籽粒发育过程中可溶性糖和淀粉与蛋白质和粗脂肪的积累呈负相关;SPS活性与可溶性糖和淀粉呈正相关,与可溶性蛋白质和粗脂肪呈极显著负相关;GPT、GOT与可溶性糖呈负相关,与淀粉呈极显著负相关,与可溶性蛋白质和粗脂肪呈极显著正相关;PDH与可溶性蛋白质、GPT、GOT呈正相关,与可溶性糖呈负相关,与淀粉呈极显著负相关。表明牡丹籽粒发育过程中养分积累是由糖类向粗脂肪和蛋白质的方向转化,SPS、PDH、GPT、GOT等在此过程中起重要作用。籽油中的棕榈酸、硬脂酸和亚油酸与亚麻酸相对增量呈负相关,说明牡丹籽油中脂肪酸去饱和过程是向亚麻酸合成的方向进行。ACCaseSADFAD2相对表达量与亚麻酸的相对增量呈正相关,均在亚麻酸合成过程中起重要作用。不同海拔条件下牡丹籽粒油脂品质相对稳定,籽粒生产性能随海拔的升高而升高,故在洛阳中高海拔地区种植油用牡丹是边际土地高效利用的重要策略。  相似文献

The changes in sugars (water-soluble carbohydrates) were studied in the developing grain of rice (Oryza sativa L., variety IR28 and IR29) in relation to the role of these sugars as precursors of ADP glucose in starch accumulation. The levels of total sugars, total reducing sugars and free glucose, sucrose and other nonreducing sugars, maltooligosaccharides, and total and nonsucrosyl fructose followed closely the changes in the rate of starch accumulation, in both IR28 and 29; the peak value occurred 9 days after flowering. The level of soluble carbohydrates remained high in the caryopsis and also in milled rice after starch accumulation, suggesting that the supply of sugar precursors does not limit starch accumulation in the rice grain. Because of a higher level of reducing sugars, the level of free sugars in the grain of waxy rice IR29 was higher than that of nonwaxy IR28.  相似文献

在温室盆栽条件下,以2个不同蛋白质含量的冬小麦(Triticum aestivum L.)品种皖麦38和扬麦9为材料,研究了花后第4天开始的土壤干旱(SRWC=45%~50%)和渍水对籽粒蛋白质和淀粉积累关键调控酶活性的影响。小麦叶片和籽粒的测定结果均表明,小麦源库器官中籽粒蛋白质和淀粉积累的关键调控酶活性变化趋势在2个品种间基本一致。与对照(SRWC=75%~80%)相比,干旱和渍水均明显降低了花后旗叶中蔗糖含量和磷酸蔗糖合成酶(SPS)活性,而氨基酸含量和谷氨酰胺合成酶(GS)活性略有下降。干旱和渍水均降低了籽粒库蔗糖合成酶(SS)和结合态淀粉合成酶(GBSS)活性,可溶性淀粉合成酶(SSS)活性降低尤甚。其中干旱处理下SS的下降比渍水更为明显。与对照相比,渍水明显降低了籽粒谷丙转氨酶(GPT)和GS活性,而干旱的影响较小。相关性分析结果表明籽粒淀粉产量和含量与SPS,SSS和GBSS活性的关系比与SS活性的关系更为密切,籽粒蛋白质产量和含量与叶中GS和籽粒中GPT活性的关系比与籽粒中GS关系活性更为密切。这些结果表明小麦源库器官中调控籽粒蛋白质和淀粉积累的关键酶活性变化是花后不同水分状况影响籽粒淀粉和蛋白质特性的重要因素。  相似文献

Carbohydrate levels and activities of enzymes associated with starch, sucrose and sorbitol metabolism were assayed in leaves of peach [ Prunus persica (L.) Batsch cv. Redhaven] of different ages, in order to examine developmental changes in leaf carbohydrate metabolism. Dry matter, soluble protein, chlorophyll and the activities of key enzymes of the reductive pentose phosphate pathway increased during leaf development. The levels of leaf carbohydrates, especially sorbitol and starch, also increased. Changes of starch levels were related to increases in the activities of enzymes associated to starch metabolism, such as ADPglucose-pyrophosphorylase (E.C. 2.7.7.27) and amylase (E.C. 3.2.1.1. plus E.C. 3.2.1.2). The activities of enzymes involved in sucrose and sorbitol degradation decreased during leaf development, whereas the activities of aldose-6-phosphate reductase (E.C. 1.1.1.200) and cytosolic fructase-1,6-bisphosphatase (E.C. 3.1.3.11) increased. In contrast, the activity of sucrose-phosphate synthase (E.C. 2.4.1.14) did not vary in a significant manner. The results suggest that the ability to synthesize and utilize both sucrose and sorbitol changes as peach leaves mature, and also that there are differences in metabolism of these two transport sugars during leaf development.  相似文献

Weight of individual grains is a major yield component in wheat. The non-uniform distribution of single grain weight on a wheat spike is assumed to be closely associated with starch synthesis in grains. The present study was undertaken to determine if the enzymes involved in starch synthesis cause the differences in single grain weight between superior and inferior grains on a wheat spike. Using two high-yield winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties differing in grain weight and three nitrogen rates for one variety, the contents of amylose and amylopectin, and activities of enzymes involved in starch synthesis in both superior and inferior grains were investigated during the entire period of grain filling. Superior grains showed generally higher starch accumulation rates and activities of enzymes including SS (sucrose synthase), UDPGPPase (UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase), ADPGPPase (ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase), SSS (soluble starch synthase) and GBSS (starch granule bound starch synthase) and subsequently produced much higher single grain weight than inferior grains. Nitrogen increased enzyme activities and starch accumulation rates, and thus improved individual grain weight, especially for inferior grains. The SS, ADPGPPase and SSS were significantly correlated to amylopectin accumulation, while SS, ADPGPPase, SSS and GBSS were significantly correlated to amylose accumulation. This infers that SS, ADPGPPase and starch synthase play key roles in regulating starch accumulation and grain weight in superior and inferior grains on a wheat spike.  相似文献

The effect of increasing concentrations of Al2(SO4)3 in situ on the content of starch, sugars and activity behaviour of enzymes related to their metabolism were studied in growing seedlings of two rice cvs. Malviya-36 and Pant-12 in sand cultures. Al2(SO4)3 levels of 80 and 160 μM in the growth medium caused an increase in the contents of starch, total sugars as well as reducing sugars in roots as well as shoots of the rice seedlings during a 5–20 days growth period. The activities of the enzymes of starch hydrolysis α-amylase, β-amylase and starch phosphorylase declined in Al-exposed seedlings, whereas the activities of sucrose hydrolyzing enzymes sucrose synthase and acid invertase increased in the seedlings due to Al3+ treatment. The enzyme of sucrose synthesis, sucrose phosphate synthase showed decreased activity in Al3+ treated seedlings compared to controls. Results suggest that Al3+ toxicity in rice seedlings impairs the metabolism of starch and sugars and favours the accumulation of hexoses by enhancing the activities of sucrose hydrolyzing enzymes.  相似文献

Metabolism of free sugars, particularly sucrose, in various plant tissues enroute from leaf sheaths to grains in growing pearl millet was studied. With the enhancement in growth, the levels of both reducing and non-reducing sugars declined in middle and basal leaf sheaths but increased in flag leaf sheath towards plant maturity. In sheath, wall-bound invertase was more active than soluble invertases and the activities of all these enzymes rose towards maturity. Besides hexoses and sucrose, some fructose polymers were also detected in the internodes. In contrast with internodes, where the levels of total free sugars declined till around anthesis, in penultimate node their levels continuously increased, but attained peak values at 65 CAS in middle- and basal nodes. In both these tissues, arriving sucrose encounters invertases but in nodes wall-bound invertase appears to be the pivotal one. On feeding (U-14C)-sucrose to the detached ear-heads a large proportion of 14C was incorporated into hexoses alone in peduncle and rachis. PCMBS and HgCl2 inhibited the metabolism of sucrose supplied to peduncle and rachis pointing to the involvement of invertases in sucrose cleavage in these organs. Through the regulated operation of invertase(s), the nodes seem to maintain a controlled flow of free sugars from source to sink tissue.  相似文献

Mature grain from 31 rice ( Oryza sativa L.) cultivars grown in the same location was analyzed for soluble sugar content to determine quantitative differences in this parameter. Cultivar variation in caryopsis sucrose content was 4-fold ranging from 15 to 59 μmol sucrose (g fresh weight)−1. Soluble reducing sugar ranged from 7 to 15 μmol hexose (g fresh weight)−1. Soluble sugar content was much greater in the outer part of the grain than in the endosperm. Caryopsis enzyme activities were measured in 8 cultivars having a range of grain sucrose content. No relationship between grain sucrose content of these cultivars and the level of enzymes of sucrose metabolism, glycolysis, and oxidative pentose pathway was established. Caryopsis respiration after 1 h of imbibition also was not related to the amount of soluble sugars available in the grain among these 8 cultivars. The results show that there are significant differences in the sugar-accumulating capacity of the caryopsis of different rice cultivars. The detection of a fructose 2,6-bisphosphate-sensitive, PPi: fructose 6-phosphate phosphototransferase (EC 2.7.1.90) in the endosperm suggests the presence of a regulatory mechanism for sucrose/starch partitioning established in other plant tissues.  相似文献

蔗糖向淀粉的转化是决定小麦籽粒产量的重要因素.田间条件下研究了两个小麦(Triticum aestivum L.)品种"鲁麦22"和"鲁麦14"籽粒淀粉合成相关酶:蔗糖合酶(sucrose synthase,SS)、腺苷二磷酸葡萄糖焦磷酸化酶(ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase,ADPGPPase)、可溶性淀粉合酶(soluble starch synthase,SSS)、束缚态淀粉合酶(starch granule-bound synthase,GBSS)的活性以及籽粒ATP含量的日变化.结果表明,上述酶活性呈现明显的昼夜变化特征,酶活性一般在白天较低,而在夜间呈现较高活性,而籽粒ATP含量趋势相反.相关分析表明,白天较低的酶活性可能与气温超过其适宜温度有关.对籽粒淀粉合成相关酶活性日变化的可能因子进行了讨论.  相似文献
