Exudation of peroxidase from roots of Festuca rubra and its effects on exuded phenolic acids

Peroxidase is exuded from roots of Festuca rubra under axenic conditions. No phenolase was detected. Peroxidase can use phenolic acids. probably differentially, as hydrogen donors for the H₂O₂ substrate and could thus have an effect on the qualitative and quantitative determinations of phenolic acids also exuded by plants.     

Efficacy of antioxidants on incidence of Fusarium root and pod rot diseases in peanut

Several antioxidants namely ascorbic acid, salicylic acid, sodium benzoates, thiouria and catechol were used as seed treatment and foliar spraying to reduce the incidence of root and pod rot diseases of peanut caused by (Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium solani and Fusarium moniliforme) as well as to determine of phenolic compounds and oxidative enzymes in the treated plants. Each antioxidant was used at different concentrations (2, 4, 6 and 8 mM) against tested pathogenic fungi in vitro. All antioxidants at 8 mM showed the greatest reduction of mycelial growth of the pathogens. In greenhouse experiments, treated seeds (Giza 5 cv.) or foliar spraying of peanut plants after 30 and 60 days from planting date with each antioxidant at 8 mM reduced severity of both diseases. The treated plants with antioxidants increased accumulation of phenolic compounds and activity levels of oxidative enzymes (catalase, peroxidase and polyphenoloxidase) in infected plants compared to healthy plants.

Biochemical Investigations of Sclerotial Exudates of Sclerotium rolfsii and their Antifungal Activity

Exudates from sclerotia of two Sclerotium rolfsii isolates (one causing collar rot in Cicer arietinum, isolate VC971, and the other leaf spots in Rauvolfia serpentina, isolate VL016) were assayed for their antifungal activity against 26 fungi consisting of plant parasites as well as saprophytes. Spore germination of all the test fungi was affected by the exudates reaching 100% in some cases. Foliar spray with exudates of isolate VL016 significantly reduced disease incidence of balsam (Impatiens balsamina) powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe cichoracearum and pea (Pisum sativum) powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe pisi, under field conditions. Characterization of exudates from 25 isolates of S. rolfsii revealed pH ranging from 3.8 to 5.3 and colour from light yellow to deep yellow. Among the phenolic acids found in the exudates were tannic, gallic, caffeic, vanillic, ferulic, chlorogenic and cinnamic acids. Oxalic acid was also found in varied amounts. Among the phenolic acids, ferulic acid was found to be present at high concentration in exudates of most isolates (3.9–153.4 μg/ml). The antioxidant properties of phenolics, which generally inhibit fungal morphogenesis including spore germination along with the antifungal nature of some phenolics are chiefly attributed to the inhibitory effect of sclerotial exudates of S. rolfsii. Additionally, both the isolates VC971 and VL016 showed almost similar antifungal activities despite they are of different origin and thereby demonstrate the antifungal nature of sclerotial exudates.     

Role of pectin methylesterases in cellular calcium distribution and blossom-end rot development in tomato fruit

Blossom-end rot (BER) in tomato fruit (Solanum lycopersicum) is believed to be a calcium (Ca(2+) ) deficiency disorder, but the mechanisms involved in its development are poorly understood. Our hypothesis is that high expression of pectin methylesterases (PMEs) increases Ca(2+) bound to the cell wall, subsequently decreasing Ca(2+) available for other cellular functions and thereby increasing fruit susceptibility to BER. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of PME expression, and amount of esterified pectins and Ca(2+) bound to the cell wall on BER development in tomato fruit. Wild-type and PME-silenced tomato plants were grown in a greenhouse. At full bloom, flowers were pollinated and Ca(2+) was no longer provided to the plants to induce BER. Our results show that suppressing expression of PMEs in tomato fruit reduced the amount of Ca(2+) bound to the cell wall, and also reduced fruit susceptibility to BER. Both the wild-type and PME-silenced fruit had similar total tissue, cytosolic and vacuolar Ca(2+) concentrations, but wild-type fruit had lower water-soluble apoplastic Ca(2+) content and higher membrane leakage, one of the first symptoms of BER. Our results suggest that apoplastic water-soluble Ca(2+) concentration influences fruit susceptibility to Ca(2+) deficiency disorders.     

Uneven distribution of nutrients in the root zone affects the incidence of blossom end rot and concentration of calcium and potassium in fruits of tomato

Tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. var. DRK) were grown hydroponically to determine the effect of an uneven distribution of nutrients in the root zone on blossom end rot (BER) and Ca and K concentrations in the fruits. The plants were grown in rockwool with their root system divided into two portions. Each portion was irrigated with nutrient solutions with either the same or the different electrical conductivity (EC) in the range 0 to 6 dS m^–1. Solutions with high EC supplied to both sides of the root system significantly increased the incidence of BER. However, when only water or a solution of low EC was supplied to one portion, BER was reduced by 80%. Fruit yields were significantly higher (P<0.01) for plants that received solutions of the uneven EC treatments (6/0 or 4.5/0 EC treatment). Plants supplied with solutions of uneven EC generally had higher leaf and fruit concentrations of Ca but lower concentrations of K than those supplied with solutions of high EC. There was no difference in Ca concentration at the distal end of young fruits of the uneven EC treatment but it was reduced in the high EC treatments. The concentration of K in the mature fruits of the uneven EC treatments was lower than that of the high EC treatments and higher or similar that of the 3/3 or 2.5/2.5 EC treatments (controls). A clear relationship was found between the incidence of BER and the exudation rate. High rate of xylem exudation was observed in the uneven EC treatments. Reduction of BER in the uneven EC treatments is most likely to be the effect of high exudation rate on Ca status in the young fruits. It was concluded that high EC of solution had positive effects on Ca concentration and incidence of BER provided that nutrient solution with low EC or water is supplied to the one portion of the root system.     

Biochemical and pharmacological studies on a lethal neurotoxic polypeptide fromPhoneutria nigriventer spider venom

Fractionation ofPhoneutria nigriventer spider venom by gel filtration and HPLC yielded a few fractions that induced different effects when administered intraperitoneally in mice. One of these fractions, PF3, was chemically characterized as a cysteine-rich polypeptide of 8360 MW. Administered at 0.1 mg/kg, i.p., PF3 induced a progressive paralysis and death of mice within 30 minutes. Partial sequence analysis of PF3 revealed certain homologies with other spider toxins already described, particularly omega-AGAIIA (60%) fromAgelenopsis aperta. Pharmacological characterization carried out in superfused chopped rat striatal tissues preloaded with [³H]-Dopamine ([³H]-DA) showed that PF3 (0.1 g/ml) decreased the [³H]-DA release induced by 20 mM K⁺ or 100 M glutamate without changing the basal release. At 1 g/ml, PF3 inhibited 33% of the basal release of [³H]-DA; the transmitter release stimulated by K⁺ or by glutamate was reduced by respectively, 87% and 77% of corresponding control values. PF3 (0.1 g/ml) altered the doseresponse curves of glutamate (1 M–10mM), by reducing by 36% of its maximal effect. Naloxone (1 M) did not influence the effect of PF3. The results indicate that PF3 inhibits the [³H]-DA release induced by membrane depolarization or that mediated by NMDA glutamate receptors. These data suggest that the mechanism of action of PF3 may involve a blockade of Ca²⁺ channels as well as a direct effect on the exocytotic machinery.Financial support of FAPESP—Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo.     

Association of Genetic Structure and Diversity in Iranian Wild Germplasms of Mentha longifolia L. Based on Phenotypical,Biochemical, and Molecular Markers

Mentha longifolia L. is well-known to be one of the most pervasive wild-growing species of the Lamiaceae family, which has extensive beneficial properties in the fields of pharmacology and biological products. In the present study, the correlation between Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers and morpho-chemical parameters of twenty different M. longifolia accessions (MLACs) were assessed. The geographic information system (GIS) has been employed to interpret the original habitat of the accessions in Iran. ISSR analysis indicated a remarkable difference in the studied accessions, segregated them into three main groups, constructed by an unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic (UPGMA) and principal coordinate analysis (PCoA). A total of 89 bands were generated by 12 ISSR primers, among which 82 (91.97 %) of them were polymorphic. The cluster analysis based on agro-morphological data scattered MLACs into two main groups. The essential oils (EOs) were analyzed through GC/FID/MS, and four chemotypes were characterized according to the major constituents. Pulegone ranged from 0.17 to 69.50 % was the main oil constituent with the highest content. Also, HPLC-PDA was employed to identify and to quantify the phenolic compounds in the MeOH extracts of MLACs. Heatmap cluster based on phenolic compounds produced three main categories of accessions. The components identified in the extracts were rosmarinic acid, rutin, vanillic acid, ferulic acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, and p-coumaric acid, which among them rosmarinic acid (RA) varied from 39.16 to 261.55 mg/100 g (DW) as a predominant constituent. Subsequently, multiple regression analyses between ISSR fragments and morpho-chemical data illustrated considerable relationships in the plant materials. The high variation and correlation observed in metabolic and phenotypic traits of MLACs establish an adequate source to conduct reserves conservation programs.     

Effect of fluoxetine on neuromuscular function in acetylcholinesterase (AChE) knockout mice

Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are a heterogeneous group of diseases caused by genetic defects affecting neuromuscular transmission. The causal mutations have been described in number of cases. The slow channel myasthenic syndrome (slow-channel-CMS) results in a marked prolongation of channel opening in stimulated receptors (nAChR) and the end plate acetylcholinesterase (AChE) deficiency congenital myasthenic syndrome (ColQ-CMS) results in an increased action of acetylcholine (ACh) at the synapse. Anticholinesterase medication is detrimental in these cases. The successful treatment of slow-channel-CMS patients with the antidepressant serotonin re-uptake inhibitor fluoxetine has been reported. At high concentration it has a non-depolarizing effect on nicotinic receptors. This led us to the idea that fluoxetine could protect AChR from a relative excess of ACh. We investigated the possible use of fluoxetine as treatment in the AChE KO mouse. Treatment at 6mg/kg from 3 weeks to 2 months increased slightly the daily weight gain but not the final weight at 2 months in AChE-/- mice. Isometric force production of Tibialis anterior in response to electric nerve stimulation was measured in situ in AChE-/- and wild type mice treated or not by fluoxetine. The results show that the maximum twitch force in response to a single nerve stimulation, the maximal tetanic force (P0) in response to repetitive nerve stimulation and the tetanic fade are not changed in AChE-/- mice treated with fluoxetine versus control AChE-/- mice.     

Biochemical and nucleic acid hybridisation studies on Brevibacterium linens and related strains

Twenty coryneform bacteria identified as Brevibacterium linens or related strains from different private and public collections were studied biochemically in respect to the composition of the cell walls and in respect to the nucleic acid hybridisation. Investigation of the cell walls revealed an identical meso-diaminopimelic acid containing directly cross-linked peptidoglycan type which is not amidated. The characteristic polymers of the polysaccharide moiety of the cell walls were found to be teichoic acids which belong to the poly(glycerolphosphate) and the poly(ribitolphosphate) type. Furthermore a novel mannitol containing teichoic acid is present which is tentatively characterized as poly(mannitolphosphate). Arabinoglactan and ribose as distinctive sugar components together with galactose and glucose in the cell walls of B. linens could not be detected in any strain. The biochemical findings lend support to the view that B. linens and related strains form a distinctive group which is clearly distinguished from all other coryneform bacteria. This is supported by DNA-23S/16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid reassociation studies. Deoxyribonucleic acid-deoxyribonucleic acid homology studies show the incoherency of B. linens which obviously comprises two species.     

Physiological and Biochemical Mechanisms of Exogenous Calcium Chloride on Alleviating Salt Stress in Two Tartary Buckwheat (<i>Fagopyrum tataricum</i>) Varieties Differing in Salinity Tolerance

Salt stress is one of the most serious abiotic stresses limiting plant growth and development. Calcium as an essential nutrient element and important signaling molecule plays an important role in ameliorating the adverse effect of salinity on plants. This study aimed to investigate the impact of exogenous calcium on improving salt tolerance in Tartary buckwheat cultivars, cv. Xinong9920 (salt-tolerant) and cv. Xinong9909 (salt-sensitive). Four-week-old Tartary buckwheat seedlings under 100 mM NaCl stress were treated with and without exogenous calcium chloride (CaCl₂), Ca²⁺ chelator ethylene glycol tetraacetic acid (EGTA) and Ca²⁺-channel blocker lanthanum chloride (LaCl₃) for 10 days. Then, some important physiological and biochemical indexes were determined. The results showed that salt stress significantly reduced seedling growth, decreased photosynthetic pigments, inhibited antioxidants and antioxidant enzyme activities. However, it increased the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in the two Tartary buckwheat cultivars. Exogenous 10 mM CaCl₂ application on salt-stressed Tartary buckwheat seedlings obviously mitigated the negative effects of NaCl stress and partially restored seedlings growth. Ca²⁺-treated salt-stressed seedlings diplayed a suppressed accumulation of ROS, increased the contents of total chlorophyll, soluble protein, proline and antioxidants, and elevated the activities of antioxidant enzymes compared with salt stress alone. On the contrary, the addition of 0.5 mM LaCl₃ and 5 mM EGTA on salt-stressed Tartary buckwheat seedlings exhibited the opposite effects to those with CaCl₂ treatment. These results indicate that exogenous Ca²⁺ can enhance salt stress tolerance and Ca²⁺ supplementation may be an effective practice to cultivate Tartary buckwheat in saline soils.     

Water exchange through erythrocyte membranes: Biochemical and nuclear magnetic resonance studies re-evaluating the effects of sulfhydryl reagents and of proteolytic enzymes on human membranes

Summary The water permeability of human red blood cell (RBC) membrane has been monitored by a doping nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique on intact cells and resealed ghosts following exposure to various sulfydryl-reacting (SH) reagents and proteolytic enzymes. The main conclusions are the following: (i) When appropriate conditions for exposure of erythrocytes or ghosts to mercury-containing SH reagents (concentration, temperature and duration of incubation) were found, the maximal inhibition of water diffusion could be obtained with all mercurials (including HgCl₂ and mersalyl that failed to show their inhibitory action on RBC water permeability in some investigations). While previous studies claimed that long incubation times are required for the development of maximal inhibition of water diffusion by mercurials, the present results show that it can be induced in a much shorter time (5–15 min at 37°C) if relatively high concentrations of PCMBS (2–4mm) are used and no washings of the inhibitor are performed after incubation. Higher than optimal concentrations of mercurials and/or longer incubation times result in lower values of inhibition, sometimes a loss of inhibition, or can even lead to higher values of permeability compared to control RBCs. (ii) The conditions for inhibition by mercurials are drastically changed by preincubation of erythrocytes with noninhibitory SH reagents (such as NEM or IAM) or by exposure to proteolytic enzymes. If the cells are digested with papain, the duration of incubation with PCMBS should be decreased in order for inhibition to occur. This explains the lack of inhibition reported previously, when a relatively long duration of incubation with PCMBS was used subsequent to papain digestion. (iii) The degree of inhibition of water diffusion induced by mercurials appeared to be dependent upon the temperature of which the water permeability was measured. The values of maximal inhibition ranged from 45–50% at 37°C, increased 10–15% at 20°C and further increased at lower temperatures, reaching values above 75% below 10°C; these results clarify the conflicting reports of various authors. (iv) The inhibition of water diffusion, either reversible, or irreversible, was not accompanied by significant changes in the pattern of RBC membrane polypeptides fractionated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. (v) The mean value of the activation energy of water diffusion (E _a,d) obtained on 42 donors was 25.6 kJ/mol. The values ofE _a,d increased in parallel with the values of the inhibition of water diffusion induced by PCMBS until the maximal inhibition was reached (whenE _a,d=41 kJ/mol) and then both sets of values decreased in parallel.

Influence of Acidity on Growth and Biochemistry of Pennisetum clandestinum

Hydroponics were used to study the impact of acidity on growth, nutritive properties and metabolic changes in kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst). Four treatments (pH 6.0, 5.0, 4.0, and 3.0) were compared for effects on biomass, leaf and root length, crude protein, amino acid content and key enzymes of sugar metabolism. Reduction in biomass, root and leaf length, amino acid contents, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and pyruvate kinase (PK) content was observed only at pH 3.0, in association with increased leaf proline content. Kikuyu grass is able to grow normally under mild acidity (down to at least pH 4.0).     

Inhibition behaviours of some phenolic acids on rat kidney aldose reductase enzyme: an in vitro study

Aldose reductase (AR) inhibitors have vital importance in the treatment and prevention of diabetic complications. In this study, rat kidney AR was purified 19.34-fold with a yield of 3.49% and a specific activity of 0.88?U/mg using DE-52 Cellulose anion exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography and 2′5′ ADP Sepharose-4B affinity chromatography, respectively. After purification, the in vitro inhibition effects of some phenolic acids (tannic acid, chlorogenic acid, sinapic acid, protocatechuic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, vanillic acid, syringic acid, α-resorcylic acid, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid and gallic acid) were investigated on purified enzyme. We determined IC₅₀, K_i values and inhibition types of these phenolic acids. As a result, tannic and chlorogenic acid had a strong inhibition effect. On the other hand, gallic acid had a weak inhibition effect. In this study, all phenolic acids except for chlorogenic acid and p-coumaric acid showed non-competitive inhibition effects on rat kidney AR.     

Effects of glyphosate on phenolic metabolism in yellow nutsedge leaves

The action of the herbicide glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine] on phenolic metabolism and phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL; EC 4.3.1.5) activity was investigated in yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus L.). Glyphosate caused significant increases in the amount of total soluble hydroxyphenolics in the three fractions studied (neutral, acid and residual). Qualitative and quantitative differences in relation to these fractions and the amount of applied glyphosate were observed. Most of the phenolic compounds which increased after glyphosate treatment were benzoic acids (gentisic. p -OH-benzoic, salicylic and vanillic). Gentisic acid showed the greatest increase in neutral and acid fractions, being twenty- and four-fold, respectively, of the amount found in the control. PAL activity was not affected by the lowest doses of glyphosate (10−⁴and 10−³ M) , but a dramatic decrease in PAL activity was observed after 10−² M treatment. These findings, together with the low levels of cinnamic acids measured in treated yellow nutsedge plants, suggest that PAL activity is only marginally involved in glyphosate action. Since the herbicidal action probably takes place at 5-enol-pyruvylshikimate-3-P synthase (EC 2.5.1.19), an alternative pathway to PAL in phenolic biosynthesis should be activated yielding benzoic acids.     

Control of postharvest decay on cherry tomatoes by marine yeast Rhodosporidium paludigenum and calcium chloride

Aims: In this study, the potential of calcium chloride (CaCl₂) application to improve the efficacy of the marine antagonist Rhodosporidium paludigenum in controlling postharvest diseases of cherry tomatoes was assessed. Methods and Results: CaCl₂ alone was found not to have any direct influence on the population growth of R. paludigenum in NYDB cultures or in cherry tomato wounds. However, the combined treatments with 1 × 10⁸ cells ml^?1R. paludigenum and CaCl₂ at the concentration from 0·5 to 2% showed high activities to reduce black rot caused by Alternaria alternata in cherry tomato wounds, significantly higher than those of R. paludigenum or CaCl₂ alone. Meanwhile, 0·5% CaCl₂ in combination with 1 × 10⁸ cells ml^?1R. paludigenum greatly inhibited the natural decay of cherry tomatoes in 21 days’ storage at 25°C. Conclusions: The combination of R. paludigenum and CaCl₂ enhances the inhibition of black rot and natural decay of postharvest cherry tomatoes. The results from this study provide a new way to improve the efficiency of R. paludigenum in maintaining the quality of postharvest fruits and vegetables. Significance and Impact of the Study: The marine yeast R. paludigenum combined with CaCl₂ has greatly potential use as an alternative to chemical fungicides in inhibiting postharvest decay on cherry tomatoes.

盐胁迫下胡杨愈伤组织生理生化特性

目的：探讨胡杨愈伤组织的耐盐性与生理生化指标的关系。方法：不同浓度NaCl胁迫下,对胡杨愈伤组织的丙二醛（MDA）含量、过氧化物酶（POD）、过氧化氢酶（CAT）、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性以及酯酶同工酶、过氧化物酶同工酶、超氧化物歧化酶同工酶酶谱进行研究。结果：随着盐浓度的增加,丙二醛（MDA）含量逐渐升高;从三种保护酶活性来看,过氧化物酶（POD）和过氧化氢酶（CAT）活性均呈先上升后下降的趋势,在70mmol/L NaCl胁迫下达到最高值,POD、CAT酶活分别为2748u/g．min和152u/g．min,分别比对照高104％和72％;超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性则呈先降低后稍上升的趋势,总体均比对照低。过氧化物酶同工酶的第2、3条酶带在70mmol/L NaCl胁迫下颜色最深,且酶带较宽;超氧化物歧化酶同工酶的第1条酶带仅在未经盐胁迫时存在,说明该酶带所代表的酶对盐很敏感;第4条酶带随盐胁迫浓度加大先消失后出现,可能是愈伤组织逐渐适应盐胁迫的结果。结论：经盐胁迫的胡杨愈伤组织中,POD和CAT酶主要起保护作用;结合同浓度盐胁迫下愈伤组织的形态观察,总体上看,胡杨愈伤组织能较好地耐受70mmol/L NaCl。
