通过胚珠试管受精获得烟草种间杂种

用试管受精的方法,在栽培红花烟草(2n=48)与栽培黄花烟草(2n=48)、光叶烟草(2n=24)的杂交中克服了种间的远缘杂交不亲和性并获得了杂种种子和植株。其杂种F_1是不育的。通过杂种叶片以及子叶的组织培养,诱导出了许多杂种的再生植株。因此,试管受精方法并结合组织培养,是得到和保存远缘杂种的一种有效途径。     

应用过氧化物酶同工酶鉴定山茶属植物杂种F1代的研究

对4个杂交组合的12个杂种F1代植株与亲本进行了形态学比较和过氧化物酶同工酶分析,结果表明以金花茶为父本,云南山茶或云南野山茶为母本杂交产生的11个杂种的幼枝、叶的特征均与母本相似,H-86-1-1的花与母本一致,H-87-2-2的花兼有父母本的特征;H-78-1-1的幼枝、叶的特征与父本相似,其花也兼有父母本的特征。有9株的酶谱为“互补型酶带”,且都出现了杂种带,为真正的杂种;其余2株的酶谱与母本一致,与其形态特征表现出一定的相关性,可能为非真正的杂种。同一个杂交组合产生的杂种,酶谱却有差异,金花茶最为特征的一条带(Rf=0.813)在其所有11个杂种F1代植株中都未表达。

异细胞质诱发硬粒小麦雌雄蕊败育的研究

本文研究以具有D染色体组的偏凸山羊草(Aegliops ventricosa 2n=4x=28 DDM~vM~v)为母本,硬粒小麦(Triticum durum D_(213)和阿波罗[Appulo]2n=4x=28 AABB)为父本的异细胞质硬粒小麦杂种的结实性。采用(偏凸山羊草×D_(213))F_1(以下简称F_1)为母本,用硬粒小麦阿波罗置换回交,至(偏凸山羊草×D_(213))×阿波罗(以下简称BC_3)时,杂种植株雄蕊、雌蕊发生退化、败育和各种畸变,导致植株结实率下降到零。这种D染色体组异细胞质杂种经多代回交后不结实的现象是遗传育种工作中不可忽视的问题。     

黄皮种子线粒体呼吸速率和活性氧清除酶活性对脱水的响应及其生态学意义

顽拗性种子脱落时具有较高的含水量和代谢活性, 对脱水高度敏感; 但顽拗性种子脱水敏感性的机理至今仍然不清楚。该文以顽拗性黄皮(Clausena lansium)种子为材料, 研究了种子和胚轴对水分丧失的响应, 在脱水过程中胚轴和子叶的呼吸速率, 胚轴和子叶线粒体的细胞色素c氧化酶(CCO)活性、外膜完整性、CCO和交替氧化酶(AOX)途径以及线粒体活性氧清除酶活性的变化。结果表明, 随着水分的丧失, 种子和胚轴的存活率逐渐下降, 种子的脱水敏感性大于胚轴; 胚轴和子叶的呼吸速率以及线粒体外膜的完整性降低。胚轴和子叶线粒体的CCO途径以及胚轴AOX途径的呼吸速率在脱水初期增加, 随着继续脱水下降, 胚轴线粒体AOX途径的呼吸速率则随着脱水显著下降。胚轴线粒体的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)和谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)活性和子叶线粒体的APX活性随着脱水迅速下降; 胚轴线粒体的脱氢抗坏血酸还原酶(DHAR)活性和子叶线粒体的SOD、DHAR和GR活性在脱水初期增加, 然后下降。这些数据表明黄皮种子的脱水敏感性与线粒体的呼吸速率和活性氧清除酶的活性降低密切相关, 也与长期适应热带/亚热带的生境有关。

种子萌发出苗过程中胚轴的伸长和胚根的发展

在讲种子的萌发时,对胚各部分的发展变化,曾听到过如下的解释:胚轴发育成植物的主茎,胚根发展成植物的根系.这样说是否确切呢?下面谈谈与此有关的问题. 一株植物的主茎是否完全由胚轴发育而成的问题,了解了胚轴伸长的情况,就很容易得到答案.大家知道,双子叶植物种子胚中的胚轴以子叶为界可区分为两部分:子叶以下与胚根连接的部分叫下胚轴,从子叶着生位置以上至第一真叶着生处之间的部分叫上胚轴.单子叶植物常见的禾本科种子胚的胚轴则可区分为下胚轴(子叶即盾状体着生处以下与胚根连接的部分)、中胚轴(盾状体着生处以上至胚芽鞘着

Altered lignin composition in phenylalanine ammonia-lyase-inhibited radish seedlings: implications for seed-derived sinapoyl esters as lignin precursors

We earlier reported that when phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity in radish seedlings was inhibited by the competitive inhibitor 2-aminoindan-2-phosphonic acid (AIP), soluble sinapoyl esters carried over from the seed were converted to wall-bound esters in young cotyledons. We now report that these soluble sinapoyl esters may also be converted into lignin in the cotyledons. When radish seedlings were grown in the presence of 100 microM AIP, lignin formation (determined as lignothioglycolic acid) was inhibited ca. 74% in the cotyledons and ca. 80% in hypocotyls plus roots. The syringyl to guaiacyl (S/G) ratio in the lignin of AIP-grown plants, as determined by alkaline cupric oxidation and from Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, was higher in cotyledons, but lower in hypocotyls plus roots, as compared to plants grown on distilled water. These results support the view that soluble sinapoyl esters preformed in seeds may contribute to the syringyl moiety of lignin in cotyledons during early seedling development and that there is no appreciable transport of soluble sinapoyl esters from cotyledons to the hypocotyls and roots.     

ENZYME ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH RIBOSOMES FROM SOYBEAN SEEDLINGS

Ribosomes from cotyledons of soybean seeds soaked overnightin water (resting-cotyledon ribosomes) and respective ribosomesfrom cotyledons (working-cotyledon ribosomes) and hypocotyls(hypocotyl ribosomes) of 5 day-old seedlings were prepared.These ribosomes mainly consisted of 80 S particles. However,hypocotyls contained 115 S particles in a small amount and working-cotyledonscontained 115 and 150 S particles which may correspond to thepolymers of ribosomes or polysomes. The abundant 80 S ribosomeswere fractionated by the sucrose density gradient centrifugation,and enzyme activities in the fractionated ribosomes were estimated.RNase, PDase, acid phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, XTPase, peroxidaseand ß-glucosidase were found in the ribosomes. Theenzyme activities were lower in the resting-cotyledon ribosomesand higher in the hypocotyl ribosomes. Working-cotyledon ribosomesshowed the middle of them. All these enzymes were also foundin the cytoplasmic solution (supernatant) of cotyledon and hypocotylcells. However, RNase, PDase, 5'-nucleotidase and peroxidasewere concentrated in ribosomes, and the specific activitiesof 5'-nucleotidase and ß-glucosidase were increasedby washing the ribosomes. The status of the enzymes found inthe ribosomes was discussed. (Received May 12, 1966; )     

Phosphoproteome analysis of Lotus japonicus seeds

In this study, we report the first dataset of phosphoproteins of the seeds of a model plant, Lotus japonicus. This dataset might be useful in studying the regulatory mechanisms of seed germination in legume plants. By proteomic analysis of seeds following water absorption, we identified a total of 721 phosphopeptides derived from 343 phosphoproteins in cotyledons, and 931 phosphopeptides from 473 phosphoproteins in hypocotyls. Kinase‐specific prediction analyses revealed that different kinases were activated in cotyledons and hypocotyls. In particular, many peptides containing ATM‐kinase target motifs, X‐X‐pS/pT‐Q‐X‐X, were detected in cotyledons. Moreover, by real‐time RT‐PCR analysis, we found that expression of a homolog of ATM kinase is upregulated specifically in cotyledons, suggesting that this ATM‐kinase homolog plays a significant role in cell proliferation in the cotyledons of L. japonicus seeds. The data have been deposited to the ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD000053 ( http://proteomecentral.proteomexchange.org/dataset/PXD000053 ).

Secondary somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration in myrtle (Myrtus communis L.)

Immature seeds, as well as hypocotyls and cotyledons excised from seedlings of Myrtus communis L., were cultured on media containing half-strength Murashige and Skoog macronutrients (MS/2) with combinations of auxins and cytokinins, in order to study their morphogenetic competence. Somatic embryogenesis was obtained from cotyledons, hypocotyls and 2-month-old immature seeds with 0.1 mg/l 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The percentage of explants showing this primary somatic embryogenesis ranged from 4% for hypocotyls to 12% for 2-month-old immature seeds. In the latter, somatic embryogenesis was also obtained in media containing 2,4-D plus a cytokinin, and with only a cytokinin. Somatic embryos obtained from hypocotyls, cotyledons or immature seeds were able to develop on MS/2 medium without plant growth regulators. Subculture of primary somatic embryos obtained from immature seeds on MS/2 medium without plant growth regulators gave rise to clusters with secondary somatic embryos and embryogenic calli. These clusters were subcultured every 8 weeks, and they were the source of highly embryogenic cultures. An average of 10% of the secondary somatic embryos developed into plantlets in each subculture. Therefore, the same culture on MS/2 medium without growth regulators yielded both plantlets and de novo secondary embryos.

Studies on the role of the Arabidopsis gene MONOPTEROS in vascular development and plant cell axialization

Three cDNA clones encoding lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) were isolated by applying the rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) protocol to imbibed seeds and germinating seedlings of Brassica napus. The deduced amino-acid sequences show a great degree of homology and they exhibit the common features shared by all LTPs. Their expression pattern indicates a strong developmental, hormonal, and environmental regulation. They are expressed only in cotyledons and hypocotyls of germinating seedlings and their levels of expression increase upon treatment with cis-abscisic acid and NaCl. Their distribution in the cotyledons of young seedlings is suggestive of a role related to the mobilization of lipid reserves.     

Comparative effects of gibberellic acid and N6-benzyladenine on dry matter partitioning and osmotic and water potentials in seedling organs of dwarf watermelon

Apical applications of 0.2 μg N⁶-benzyladenine (BA), a synthetic cytokinin, or 5 μg of gibberellic acid (GA₃) significantly enhanced hypocotyl elongation in intact dwarf watermelon seedlings over a 48-h period. Accompanying the increase in hypocotyl length was marked expansion of cotyledons in BA-treated seedlings and inhibition of root growth by both compounds. A study on dry matter partitioning indicated that both growth regulators caused a preferential accumulation of dry matter in hypocotyls at the expense of the roots; however, GA₃ elicited a more rapid and greater change than did BA. In comparison to untreated seedlings, BA decreased total translocation of metabolites out of the cotyledons. Water potentials of cotyledons and hypocotyls were determined by allowing organs to equilibrate for 2 h in serial concentrations of polyethylene glycol 4000. Osmotic potentials were determined by thermocouple psychrometry. During periods of rapid growth in cotyledons and hypocotyls of BA-treated seedlings and in hypocotyls of GA-treated seedlings, the osmotic potential increased and the turgor pressure decreased in relation to untreated seedlings, indicating that cell wall extensibility was being increased. Osmotic potentials were lower in hypocotyls of GA-treated than in those of BA-treated seedlings, even though growth rates were higher in GA-treated seedlings, indicating that the latter treatment was generating more osmotically active solutes in hypocotyls.     

Effect of chlorsulfuron on ethylene evolution from sunflower seedlings

The effect of the herbicide chlorsulfuron (2-chloro-N-[(4-methoxy - 6 - methyl -1, 3,5 - triazin - 2 - yl)aminocarbonyl]benzenesulfonamide) on ethylene production in light-grown sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) seedlings was examined. Application of chlorsulfuron to the apex stimulated ethylene production in all tissues examined: cotyledons, hypocotyls, and roots. The greatest stimulation occurred in the upper portion of the hypocotyl adjacent to, and including, the cotyledonary node. Ethylene evolution from hypocotyls excised from treated seedlings was stimulated over control levels 1 day after herbicide application and reached a maximum (approx. 75 x control or 17 nl/g f wt/h) 2 to 3 days after treatment. Labeling and inhibitor studies indicated that the ethylene produced was derived primarily from methionine. Chlorsulfuron treatment stimulated the rate of accumulation of the ethylene precursor, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), as well as the ability of the tissue to convert exogenous ACC to ethylene. Chlorsulfuron had little effect on ethylene production when administered to the hypocotylsin vitro. Removal of the cotyledons from treated seedlings reduced the rate of ethylene evolution from the hypocotyls. These results suggest that stimulation of ethylene production in sunflower hypocotyls by chlorsulfuron is not a wound response but rather is dependent on factors derived from the cotyledons.     

Comparative effects of gibberellic acid and N6-benzyladenine on dry matter partitioning and osmotic and water potentials in seedling organs of dwarf watermelon

Apical applications of 0.2 g N⁶-benzyladenine (BA), a synthetic cytokinin, or 5 g of gibberellic acid (GA₃) significantly enhanced hypocotyl elongation in intact dwarf watermelon seedlings over a 48-h period. Accompanying the increase in hypocotyl length was marked expansion of cotyledons in BA-treated seedlings and inhibition of root growth by both compounds. A study on dry matter partitioning indicated that both growth regulators caused a preferential accumulation of dry matter in hypocotyls at the expense of the roots; however, GA₃ elicited a more rapid and greater change than did BA. In comparison to untreated seedlings, BA decreased total translocation of metabolites out of the cotyledons. Water potentials of cotyledons and hypocotyls were determined by allowing organs to equilibrate for 2 h in serial concentrations of polyethylene glycol 4000. Osmotic potentials were determined by thermocouple psychrometry. During periods of rapid growth in cotyledons and hypocotyls of BA-treated seedlings and in hypocotyls of GA-treated seedlings, the osmotic potential increased and the turgor pressure decreased in relation to untreated seedlings, indicating that cell wall extensibility was being increased. Osmotic potentials were lower in hypocotyls of GA-treated than in those of BA-treated seedlings, even though growth rates were higher in GA-treated seedlings, indicating that the latter treatment was generating more osmotically active solutes in hypocotyls.Scientific Contribution No. 1219 from the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station.
