Summary Circular F-actin on a photooriented chloroplast was observed by rhodamine-phalloidin staining in the fernAdiantum protonemal cells in which phytochrome- or blue light receptor-mediated intracellular photoorientation of chloroplasts was induced. The circular structure located along the edge of chloroplast on the side facing the plasma membrane but not on the opposite side. Most of the chloroplasts in protonemal cell have dumbbell-shape and the circular ring-like structure was found on each half of the dumbbell. The structure was not observed in the cells which were kept in the dark, indicating the change of F-actin organization by the light condition. Possible role of the structure on the anchorage of chloroplast in its intracellular photoorientation was discussed. 相似文献

Photoorientation of chloroplasts mediated by phytochrome and blue light-absorbing pigment in protonemal cells of the fernAdiantum was studied by use of inhibitors of the cytoskeleton and was analyzed with a video-tracking system. The photoorientation responses were inhibited by cytochalasin B and by N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) but not by colchicine, suggesting that the photomovement depends on the actomyosin system. In the dark, chloroplasts moved randomly, being independent of one another. After induction of photoorientation by polarized red light, most chloroplasts that had been located at the margin of cells moved almost perpendicularly to the cell axis toward the site of photoorientation. This type of movement was hardly ever observed in the dark. Under polarized blue light, such specific movements were less evident but were still observed in the case of a few chloroplasts. After photoorientation was complete, chloroplasts still moved in random directions but their mobility was lower than that in the dark, indicating the presence of some anchoring mechanism. When EGTA was applied, photoorientation was inhibited but this inhibition was overcome by the addition of CaCl2. Video-tracking of chloroplasts in the dark revealed that the mobility of chloroplasts was higher in medium with EGTA than in medium with EGTA plus CaCl2 and that many of the chloroplasts moved jerkily in the medium with EGTA. This change in the nature of movements was also seen under polarized light, resulting in the disturbance of photoorientation. These results indicate that the inhibition of photoorientation at low concentrations of Ca2+ ions may be due to change in the nature of chloroplast movement. 相似文献

Movements of the chloroplasts induced by a directional stimulus of light are found to occur in various plant materials ranging
from algae to terrestrial angiosperms. Depending on the fluence rate of light, chloroplasts move toward the area of the maximum
light absorption and escape from it, which are named as low- and high-fluence-rate responses, respectively. In most materials
the effective wavelengths are exclusively found in the blue-UV region of spectrum, (a) flavin pigment(s) being considered
as the photoreceptor, while in a few species of plants phytochrome is involved. The arrangement of chloroplasts as a result
of the movement depends on the orientation of the electrical vector of light, which reflects the dichroic orientation of the
photoreceptor for perception of light direction. Photosystems involved in these responses, however, are not only for perception
of light direction, but also for realization of the movement and for holding of the chloroplasts in the reached site. Possible
interactions and dual roles of photosystems in regulation of chloroplast movement are discussed. 相似文献

Aspergillus nidulans senses red and blue-light and employs a phytochrome and a Neurospora crassa White Collar (WC) homologous system for light perception and transmits this information into developmental decisions. Under
light conditions it undergoes asexual development and in the dark it develops sexually. The phytochrome FphA consists of a
light sensory domain and a signal output domain, consisting of a histidine kinase and a response regulator domain. Previously
it was shown that the phytochrome FphA directly interacts with the WC-2 homologue, LreB and another regulator, VeA. In this
paper we mapped the interaction of FphA with LreB to the histidine kinase and the response regulator domain at the C-terminus
in vivo using the bimolecular fluorescence complementation assay and in vitro by co-immunoprecipitation. In comparison, VeA
interacted with FphA only at the histidine kinase domain. We present evidence that VeA occurs as a phosphorylated and a non-phosphorylated
form in the cell. The phosphorylation status of the protein was independent of the light receptors FphA, LreB and the WC-1
homologue LreA. 相似文献

When exposed to constant white light for four weeks, isolated nodes of Chara fragilis Desv. regenerated side branches, rhizoids, and multicellular protonemata, the latter being similar to those germinated from oospores. When kept in darkness the nodes developed protonemata exclusively. These were single-celled, colourless, and tip-growing and, with the light microscope, they looked like rhizoids. Upon exposure to blue light, but not to red or far-red, the growth rates of the protonemata rapidly declined, the cell apices swelled, and the nucleus migrated acropetally. Within 24 h the cells went through the first of a series of divisions resulting in the formation of multicellular protonemata. When returned to darkness after a blue light pulse of 5 h the cell divisions proceeded normally, but the protonemata showed etiolated growth. While growth of the internode was drastically promoted, the development of the multicellular apex and the lateral initial were suppressed. Both uni- and multicellular etiolating protonemata showed negative gravitropism but were phototropically insensitive. It is argued that the single-celled protonema is an organ specialized for the penetration of mud covering the nodes or oospores of Chara and thus serves to search for light, comparable to etiolated hypocotyls and stems in seedlings of higher plants. 相似文献

Summary The F-actin distribution in caulonemal tip cells of the mossCeratodon purpureus was examined by rhodamine-phalloidin staining. Gravitropically-growing caulonemal tip cells of the moss possess a distinct alignment of microfilaments (MFs) in their apices. Axially oriented actin bundles run from subapical regions to the apex where they converge towards a central area of the tip, although bundles are absent from the central area itself thus forming a collar-like structure. During a unilateral red light irradiation the actin strands of the apical dome become reoriented towards the irradiated apical flank and still surround an area free of MFs, the point of prospective outgrowth. This process is closely correlated with the morphological effect of bulging and precedes the light-directed outgrowth. The collar structure is essential for the tubular growth form. In darkness, under the influence of antimicrotubule agents the structure is decomposed, the actin strands drift along the cell flanks and finally accumulate in randomly distributed areas where further growth takes place. The microtubules (MTs) are not involved in the phytochromemediated reorientation of the microfilaments. Unilateral red light suppresses the distorting effect of antimicrotubule drugs and restores the collar structure with a pronounced light-directed orientation. Instead, the MTs seem to be responsible for restricting the reorientation to the cell tip. This notion is based on the observation that the small area in the apical dome, which is normally the exclusive location of the light-regulated MF rearrangement, extends towards the cell base when MT inhibitors are applied before the unilateral red light irradiation. This in turn leads to a non-tubular expansion of the light-directed cell flank.Abbreviations DIG

Summary Two dynamic changes are associated with the phytochrome-regulated phototropic response in tip cells of the mossCeratodon purpureus: a tip-located gradient shift of chlortetracy-cline (CTC)-stained calcium and a structural reorganization of apical microfilaments (MFs). We examined the interdependence of these processes. Cells were treated with the antimicrotubule drug oryzalin, the antimicrofilament drug cytochalasin-D, and the calcium channel blocker nifedipine. respectively. The effects on phototropic growth, on the structural alignment of the cytoskeleton (microtubules, MTs; microfilaments) and on the distribution of CTC-stained calcium were studied under each of these conditions. In gravitropically growing tip cells the apical MFs form a cortical collar-like structure, consisting of actin bundles with a parallel axial alignment. These MFs point towards the presumptive growing point, a weakly stained region in the tip of the cell from which bundles are absent. MTs are present in the cortex and in the endoplasm of the tip, predominantly oriented longitudinally. The MTs converge within the central apex. The cells show a steep tip-to-base CTC-calcium gradient with its highest signal in the central apex. Destruction of MTs by 1 M oryzalin induces several translocational effects: (i) the growing zone and phototropic outgrowth shift from the apex to subapical parts of the cell; (ii) the structural integrity of the apical MFs and the tip-to-base alignment of the CTC-calcium gradient are disturbed; and (iii) the red light induced gradient shift and the reorientation of MFs proceed in an expanded area spanning from the tip to subapical parts of the cell. Cytochalasin-D (10 g/ml) destroys the MFs. Under these conditions tip growth stops and the phototropic outgrowth is suppressed. The apical MT-structure and the CTC-calcium gradient are not influenced by the agent. Unilateral red light still induces the light-directed translocation of the gradient. Tip cells memorize a unilateral irradiation applied during growth inhibition with cytochalasin-D. After recovery in darkness the cells start to grow in the former light direction. The restoration of the MFs precedes the outgrowth. The structural alignment of the rebuilt actin bundles indicates the future growth direction. The calcium channel blocker nifedipine (10 M) also inhibits tip growth and concurrently phototropic outgrowth. Nifedipine destroys the CTC-calcium gradient and apical MFs; MTs are not influenced by the channel blocker.Abbreviations CTC

An action spectrum for the low-fluencerate response of chloroplast movement in protonemata of the fern Adiantum capillus-veneris L. was determined using polarized light vibrating perpendicularly to the protonema axis. The spectrum had several peaks in the blue region around 450 nm and one in the red region at 680 nm, the blue peaks being higher than the red one. The red-light action was suppressed by nonpolarized far-red light given simultaneously or alternately, whereas the bluelight action was not. Chloroplast movement was also induced by a local irradiation with a narrow beam of monochromatic light. A beam of blue light at low energy fluence rates (7.3·10-3-1.0 W m-2) caused movement of the chloroplasts to the beam area (positive response), while one at high fluence rates (10 W m-2 and higher) caused movement to outside of the beam area (negative response). A red beam caused a positive response at fluence rates up to 100 W m-2, but a negative response at very high fluence rates (230 and 470 W m-2). When a far-red beam was combined with total background irradiation with red light at fluence rates causing a low-fluence-rate response in whole cells, chloroplasts moved out of the beam area. When blue light was used as background irradiation, however, a narrow far-red beam had no effect on chloroplast distribution. These results indicate that the light-oriented movement of Adiantum chloroplasts is caused by red and blue light, mediated by phytochrome and another, unidentified photoreceptor(s), respectively. This movement depends on a local gradient of the far-red-absorbing form of phytochrome or of a photoexcited blue-light photoreceptor, and it includes positive and negative responses for both red and blue light.Abbreviations BL

Summary Circular arrays of cortical microtubules (MTs) and microfilaments (MFs) are found in the subapical region of tip-growing protonemal cells of the fernAdiantum capillus-veneris. Reorganization of the two cytoskeletal structures during phytochrome-mediated phototropism and blue light-induced apical swelling was investigated by double-staining of MTs and MFs with rhodaminephalloidin and an indirect immunofluorescence method with tubulinspecific antibody. Before any growth responses were detectable, the MF and MT structures were reorganized according to similar patterns in both photoresponses, that is, oblique orientation and transient disappearance of the structures occurred during the phototropic response, and the disappearance of the structures occurred during apical swelling. The reorganization of MF structures clearly preceded that of the MT structures in the phototropic response. In the case of apical swelling, both types of circular array disappeared with an almost identical time course.These results provide evidence for the significant role of the circular organization of MFs as well as of MTs, in the light-induced growth responses of tip-growing fern protonemal cells. Possible roles of the circular array of MFs in the regulation of tip growth are discussed.Abbreviations DMSO

The three-dimensional organization of the microfilamental cytoskeleton of developingGasteria pollen was investigated by light microscopy using whole cells and fluorescently labelled phalloidin. Cells were not fixed chemically but their walls were permeabilized with dimethylsulphoxide and Nonidet P-40 at premicrospore stages or with dimethylsulphoxide, Nonidet P-40 and 4-methylmorpholinoxide-monohydrate at free-microspore and pollen stages to dissolve the intine.Four strikingly different microfilamentous configurations were distinguished. (i) Actin filaments were observed in the central cytoplasm throughout the successive stages of pollen development. The network was commonly composed of thin bundles ramifying throughout the cytoplasm at interphase stages but as thick bundles encaging the nucleus prior to the first and second meiotic division. (ii) In released microspores and pollen, F-actin filaments formed remarkably parallel arrays in the peripheral cytoplasm. (iii) In the first and second meiotic spindles there was an apparent localization of massive arrays of phalloidin-reactive material. Fluorescently labelled F-actin was present in kinetochore fibers and pole-to-pole fibers during metaphase and anaphase. (iv) At telophase, microfilaments radiated from the nuclear envelopes and after karyokinesis in the second meiotic division, F-actin was observed in phragmoplasts.We did not observe rhodamine-phalloidin-labelled filaments in the cytoplasm after cytochalasin-B treatment whereas F-actin persisted in the spindle. Incubation at 4° C did not influence the existence of cytoplasmic microfilaments whereas spindle filaments disappeared. This points to a close interdependence of spindle microfilaments and spindle tubules.Based on present data and earlier observations on the configuration of microtubules during pollen development in the same species (Van Lammeren et al., 1985, Planta165, 1-11) there appear to be apparent codistributions of F-actin and microtubules during various stages of male meiosis inGasteria verrucosa.Abbreviation DMSO

Apical cells of protonemata of the moss Ceratodon purpureus (Hedw.) Brid. are negatively gravitropic in the dark and positively phototropic in red light. Various fluence rates of unilateral
red light were tested to determine whether both tropisms operate simultaneously. At irradiances ≥140 nmol m−2 s−1 no gravitropism could be detected and phototropism predominated, despite the presence of amyloplast sedimentation. Gravitropism
occurred at irradiances lower than 140 nmol m−2 s−1 with most cells oriented above the horizontal but not upright. At these low fluence rates, phototropism was indistinct at
1 g but apparent in microgravity, indicating that gravitropism and phototropism compete at 1 g. The frequency of protonemata that were negatively phototropic varied with the fluence rate and the duration of illumination,
as well as with the position of the apical cell before illumination. These data show that the fluence rate of red light regulates
whether gravitropism is allowed or completely repressed, and that it influences the polarity of phototropism and the extent
to which apical cells are aligned in the light path.

The mutant dark-germinating 1 (dkg1) of the fern Ceratopteris richardii was originally characterized by two phenotypes, germination in the dark and inhibition of germination by light. In this work, we examined whether other phenotypes are present in the gametophytic generation of the dkg1 mutant. Although dkg1 prothalli grown in darkness were elongated as in the case of the wild type, some developmental processes were found to proceed even in complete darkness: (1) the apical and subapical zones developed largely by forming a lateral meristem; (2) asymmetric cell division for rhizoid differentiation occurred in the subapical elongation zone; (3) an archegonium was formed in the proximity of the meristem; and (4) chloroplast relocation could occur without de novo protein synthesis. Furthermore, these processes were shown to be under the control of phytochrome in the wild-type gametophytes on the basis of red/far-red reversibility. These results indicate that the DKG1 gene is pleiotropic and is involved in several phytochrome-mediated responses in the gametophyte development of C. richardii. 相似文献

Summary The rate of organelle movement during progression of the cell cycle in single-celled protonemata of the fernAdiantum capillus-veneris is determined microscopically with a time-lapse video system. Under red light organelle movement is very slow (1.8 m/min) in early G1 in the apical 100-m region. The rate of organelle movement becomes higher in proportion to distance from the nuclear region, reaching a plateau in the neighborhood of 300 m from the tip. Organelle movement during the progression of G1 and S phases in the dark does not show a significant difference from that in early G1 under red light. In M phase, however, organelle movement in the nuclear region slows down a few minutes after nucleolar disappearance and then stops until the beginning of cell plate formation. Organelle movement in the basal region of the protonema slows down, but does not stop, shortly after movement in the nuclear region has ceased. This indicates that a message is sent from the nuclear region to the basal region. 相似文献

Reorientation of microtubules at the outer epidermal wall of maize coleoptiles by phytochrome,blue-light photoreceptor,and auxin 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Summary The effects of red and blue light on the orientation of cortical microtubules (MTs) underneath the outer epidermal wall of maize (Zea mays L.) coleoptiles were investigated with immunofluorescent techniques. The epidermal cells of dark-grown coleoptiles demonstrated an irregular pattern of regions of parallel MTs with a random distribution of orientations. This pattern could be changed into a uniformly transverse MT alignment with respect to the long cell axis by 1 h of irradiation with red light. This response was transient as the MTs spontaneously shifted into a longitudinal orientation after 1–2 h of continued irradiation. Induction/reversion experiments with short red and far-red light pulses demonstrated the involvement of phytochrome in this response. In contrast to red light, irradiation with blue light induced a stable longitudinal MT alignment which was established within 10 min. The blue-light response could not be affected by subsequent irradiations with red or far-red light indicating the involvement of a separate blue-light photoreceptor which antagonizes the effect of phytochrome. In mixed light treatments with red and blue light, the blue-light photoreceptor always dominated over phytochrome which exhibited an apparently less stable influence on MT orientation. Long-term irradiations with red or blue light up to 6 h did not reveal any rhythmic changes of MT orientation that could be related to the rhythmicity of helicoidal cell-wall structure. Subapical segments isolated from dark-grown coleoptiles maintained a longitudinal MT arrangement even in red light indicating that the responsiveness to phytochrome was lost upon isolation. Conversely auxin induced a transverse MT arrangement in isolated segments even in blue light, indicating that the responsiveness to blue-light photoreceptor was eliminated by the hormone. These complex interactions are discussed in the context of current hypotheses on the functional significance of MT reorientations for cell development.Abbreviations MT

BackgroundSome ferns have medicinal properties and are used in therapeutic interventions. However, the classification and phylogenetic relationships of ferns remain incompletely reported. Considering that chloroplast genomes provide ideal information for species identification and evolution, in this study, three unpublished and one published ferns were sequenced and compared with other ferns to obtain comprehensive information on their classification and evolution.Materials and MethodsThe complete chloroplast genomes of Dryopteris goeringiana (Kunze) Koidz, D. crassirhizoma Nakai, Athyrium brevifrons Nakai ex Kitagawa, and Polystichum tripteron (Kunze) Presl were sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq 4,000 platform. Simple sequence repeats (SSRs), nucleotide diversity analysis, and RNA editing were investigated in all four species. Genome comparison and inverted repeats (IR) boundary expansion and contraction analyses were also performed. The relationships among the ferns were studied by phylogenetic analysis based on the whole chloroplast genomes.ResultsThe whole chloroplast genomes ranged from 148,539 to 151,341 bp in size and exhibited typical quadripartite structures. Ten highly variable loci with parsimony informative (Pi) values of > 0.02 were identified. A total of 75–108 SSRs were identified, and only six SSRs were present in all four ferns. The SSRs contained a higher number of A + T than G + C bases. C‐to‐U conversion was the most common type of RNA editing event. Genome comparison analysis revealed that single‐copy regions were more highly conserved than IR regions. IR boundary expansion and contraction varied among the four ferns. Phylogenetic analysis showed that species in the same genus tended to cluster together with and had relatively close relationships.ConclusionThe results provide valuable information on fern chloroplast genomes that will be useful to identify and classify ferns, and study their phylogenetic relationships and evolution. 相似文献

Branches were induced in centrifugedAdiantum protonemal cells by partial irradiation with polarized red light. Nuclear behavior and microtubule pattern change during
branch formation were investigated. A branch formed at any part where a red microbeam was focused along a long apical cell.
The nucleus moved towards the irradiated area and remained there until a branch developed. The pattern of microtubules changed
from parallel to oblique at the irradiated area and then a transverse arrangement of microtubules appeared on both sides of
the area. It appeared as if the nucleus was suspended between two microtubule rings. This nuclear behavior and the changes
in microtubule pattern were different from those observed during branch formation under whole cell irradiation. From the results
of this work we suggest that there is an importance for precise control of experimental conditions. 相似文献

In etiolated seedlings of Raphanus sativus L. the inhibition of hypocotyl elongation by continuous light showed a major bimodal peak of action in the red and far-red, and two minor peaks in the blue regions of the spectrum. It is argued that, under conditions of prolonged irradiation, phytochrome is the pigment controlling the inhibition of hypocotyl elongation by red and far-red light, but that its mode of action in far-red is different from that in red. A distinct pigment is postulated for blue light.Abbreviations B blue - FR far red - G green - R red - HIR high irradiance reaction - Pr and Pfr red and far red absorbing forms of phytochrome - R red 相似文献

For the taxonomic revision of the problematic species Ceratopteris thalictroides, molecular analyses and crossing tests were conducted for 16 sources in the world. An analysis of allozyme composition of five enzymes revealed the presence of three intraspecific entities, which were called the south type, the north type, and the third type. An analysis of the nucleotide sequences of chloroplast DNA also distinguished the same entities. Crossing tests showed that the south type was completely cross-sterile with the other two types, and that the other two were considerably cross-sterile with each other. These results suggest that the three entities should be regarded as different biological species. Although the south type and the other two meet in several regions, complete cross-sterility between them seems to sustain their genetic distinctiveness in spite of occasional crossing. The results from the present study suggest that widely distributed fern species are apt to comprise several cryptic species. Received: August 1, 2001 / Accepted: November 1, 2001 相似文献
