The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) inhibits blue light‐induced apoplastic acidification of guard cells. The signal transduction pathway of ABA, mediating this response, was studied using ABA‐insensitive ( abi ) mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana . Apoplastic acidification was monitored with a flat tipped pH‐electrode placed on epidermal strips, in which only guard cells were viable. Blue light‐induced apoplastic acidification was reduced by vanadate and diethylstilbestrol (DES), indicating involvement of plasma membrane‐bound H+ ‐ATPases. In wild type epidermal strips, ABA reduced blue light‐induced acidification to 63%. The inhibition did not result from an increased cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration in guard cells, since factors that increase the Ca2+ concentration stimulated apoplastic acidification. Apoplastic acidification was not inhibited by ABA in abi1 and abi2 mutants. In abi1 epidermal strips ABA had no effect on the acidification rate, while it stimulated apoplastic acidification in abi2 . The ABA response in both mutants could be partially restored with protein kinase and phosphatase inhibitors. The abi1 guard cells became ABA responsive in the presence of okadaic acid, a protein phosphatase inhibitor. In abi2 guard cells the wild type ABA response was partially restored by K‐252a, a protein kinase inhibitor. Apoplastic inhibition is thus mediated through the protein phosphatases encoded by ABI1 and ABI2 . The results with protein kinase and protein phosphatase inhibitors indicate that ABI1 and ABI2 are involved in separate signal transduction pathways. 相似文献

Environmental stresses dramatically affect plant survival and productivity. Because plants are immobile, presumably different strategies are required for protection against transient stresses. Under stress, plants synthesize specific proteins, and their accumulation has a role in protecting the tissue from possible damage. An increasing number of studies show the existence of cross‐tolerance in plants: Exposure of tissue to moderate stress conditions often induces resistance to other stresses. Many varied mechanisms explaining the phenomenon of cross‐tolerance have been proposed, and they often, but not always, suggest that specific proteins are induced by one kind of stress and are involved in the protection against other kinds. Although various cross‐protections have been demonstrated in a number of plants, a common mechanism has not been found. This review discusses heat‐shock proteins and their possible roles in protecting the plant under heat and other stresses. 相似文献

The Fe-deficiency stress response is induced in most plants under Fe-deficient conditions, but whether the shoot and/or the root control development of the stress response is not known. The objectives of the present study were to determine whether in-vitro-cultured subclover roots can develop Fe-deficiency stress response and to examine this approach as a possible screening technique for Fe-deficiency resistance. One-cm long root tips of subclover seedlings were cultured in modified White's medium without (-Fe) or with (+Fe) 100 μM Fe3+EDTA. Root Fe3+ reduction and H+ release were evaluated. On the first day after transfer to the -Fe medium, the Fe-deficiency-resistant cultivar Koala (Trifolium brachycalycinum Katzn. and Morley) started to release H+, resulting in a decrease in pH of the culture medium, while the susceptible cultivar Karridale (T. subterraneum L.) did not release H+ until the second day. The H+-release rate of the -Fe Koala was approximately twice as high as that of the -Fe Karridale for the first 4 days of -Fe treatment. Both Koala and Karridale reached their highest H+-release rates on the fourth day after -Fe treatment initiation. The +Fe Koala released H+ after several days of culture, but the H+ release of the -Fe Koala was severalfold greater than that of the +Fe Koala. The implicit correlation between H+ release and Fe-deficiency resistance was substantiated by using a series of subclover cultivars with a range of susceptibilities to Fe deficiency. The pH of the -Fe culture media of the series of cultivars was positively correlated to their Fe-chlorosis scores reported in previous research. The results of the present study indicate that root itself has the full ability to develop Fe-deficiency stress response and the response is dependent on the root Fe status. The results also suggest that root culture could be used as a simple and efficient alternative technique for screening germplasm for Fe-deficiency resistance. 相似文献

A combination of fluorescein‐isothiocyanate (FITC), coumarin‐benzothiazol (BTC), and chlorotetracycline (CTC) fluorescence was used to simultaneously monitor apoplastic pH, apoplastic free Ca2+ , and plasma membrane‐bound Ca2+ . As early boron deficiency reactions supposedly include alterations of plasma membrane‐bound transport processes besides rapid effects on cell wall physical properties, the corresponding changes were followed in leaves and roots of Vicia faba L. cv. Troy.
Boron deficiency did not alter the apoplastic pH, but it reduced plasma membrane‐bound Ca2+ in roots at 4 h and leaves at 3 days after starting the deficiency treatment. The decrease in plasma membrane‐bound Ca2+ coincided with an increase in apoplastic free Ca2+ and K+ , and occurred before the first visible symptoms were noticed.
It is proposed that less Ca2+ is bound to the plasma membrane due to a reduction of specific Ca2+ ‐binding sites (borate esters with vic ‐diols or polyhydroxy‐carboxylates) before plasma membrane integrity deteriorates. 相似文献

Seed populations of white clover polymorphic for the presence/absence of both ovariogenic glucosides and the hydrolysing enzyme linamarase, were introduced into three natural populations. Over the first six months of life a significant increase in the frequency of linamarase containing individuals occurred. Estimated selection coefficients against plants lacking linamarase were in the region of 0.3. This result may have been due to selection at the enzyme locus alone, or to selection favouring cyanogenic individuals which possess both cyanogenic glucosides and enzyme. 相似文献

The H+ /PPi stoichiometry of the mitochondrial H+ ‐PPi ase from pea ( Pisum sativum L.) stem was determined by two kinetic approaches, and compared with the H+ /substrate stoichiometries of the mitochondrial H+ ‐ATPase, and the vacuolar H+ ‐PPi ase and H+ ‐ATPase. Using sub‐mitochondrial particles or preparations enriched in vacuolar membranes, the rates of substrate‐dependent H+ ‐transport were evaluated: by a mathematical model, describing the time‐course of H+ ‐gradient (ΔpH) formation; or by determining the rate of H+ ‐leakage following H+ ‐pumping inhibition by EDTA at the steady‐state ΔpH. When the H+ ‐transport rates were divided by those of PPi or ATP hydrolysis, measured under identical conditions, apparent stoichiometries of ca 2 were determined for the mitochondrial H+ ‐PPi ase and H+ ‐ATPase, and for the vacuolar H+ ‐ATPase. The stoichiometry of the vacuolar H+ ‐PPi ase was found to be ca 1. From these results, it is suggested that the mitochondrial H+ ‐PPi ase may, in theory, function as a primary H+ ‐pump poised towards synthesis of PPi and, therefore, acting in parallel with the main H+ ‐ATPase. 相似文献

Young‐of‐the‐year smelt Osmerus eperlanus in Lake Tuusulanjärvi were examined for Glugea hertwigi cysts. Cysts were visible on smelt in the beginning of August and showed a peak at the end of August. Glugea hertwigi may cause mortality among the most heavily infected young‐of‐the‐year smelts. 相似文献

The effectiveness of resistance to subterranean clover mottle sobemovirus (SCMoV) previously identified in different genotypes of subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum) inoculated with infective sap in the glasshouse, was tested in two field experiments which used the grazing animal as virus vector. Replicated plots each consisting of paired test rows of 20 different genotypes were used. Clover plants infected with SCMoV were transplanted in between the paired test rows and these acted as sources of the virus for spread by grazing sheep. Although used in different years at different sites with different virus isolates, the field exposure methodology employed produced consistent results. The genotypes each behaved similarly in both experiments as regards the relative extents of SCMoV infection that developed, levels ranging from 0–98%. The previously identified resistance in six ‘highly resistant’ and three ‘partially resistant’ cultivars was effective under field conditions. However, the ‘partial resistance’ in three others was overcome, cvs Green Range and Mt Barker developing levels of infection approaching those in ‘susceptible’ cultivars, while an intermediate infection level developed in cv. Karridale. The three cultivars in which partial resistance was not effective all belonged to ssp. subterraneum. In subterranean clover breeding programmes, field screening using the grazing animal as a vector is advisable to determine whether SCMoV resistance found by sap inoculation is still effective under field conditions. 相似文献

Seed-borne cucumber mosaic virus infection of subterranean clover in Western Australia 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
In Western Australia, infection with cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was widespread in all three subspecies of subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum) growing in plots belonging to the Australian National Subterranean Clover Improvement Programme. Seed-borne CMV was detected in seed harvested in 1984–1986 of 18/25 cultivars from two collections of registered cultivars; seed transmission rates ranged up to 8.8%. Seed samples from CMV-inoculated plants of 11 cultivars transmitted the virus to 0.5–8.7% of seedlings. Seed transmission rates greater than 5% were obtained only with cvs Enfield, Green Range and Nangeela. CMV was not detected in seed harvested in 1975–1981 from one of the registered cultivar collections, in 17 commercial seed stocks from 1986 or in a survey of subterranean clover pastures.
Symptoms in subterranean clover naturally infected with CMV included mottle, leaflet downcurling and dwarfing but severity varied with cultivar and selection. CMV isolates from different sources varied in virulence when inoculated to subterranean clover; two (both from subterranean clover) were severe, two moderate and three (including one from subterranean clover) mild. In pot tests, CMV decreased herbage production and root growth (dry wts) of cv. Green Range by 49% and 59% respectively. In spaced-plants growing in plots, CMV decreased herbage production and root growth of cvs Green Range and Northam by 59–630 and seed production of cv. Green Range by 45%. In rows sown with infected seed, aphid spread increased infection levels to 75% in cv. Green Range and 44% in cv. Esperance and losses in herbage production of 42% and 29% respectively were recorded.

Seeds of white clover ( Trifolium repens L., cv. Podkowa) were germinated at water potential ψ=−0.3 MPa in darkness, at 25°C. A short exposure to blue light (B) inhibited germination in a manner similar to that described earlier for red (R) and far‐red (FR) light (Niedźwiedź‐Siegień and Lewak 1989). No reversibility of B, R and FR effects was observed. Saturation irradiance and energy was the lowest for R and the highest for B. The reciprocity of irradiance versus time of exposure was observed only for non‐saturating irradiances of B, R and FR. 相似文献

Field trials were done in 1988 - 89 at two sites to examine the effects of sowing seed stocks in which a low proportion (1.6–7.0%) of the seed was carrying cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) infection (= infected seed) and the subsequent CM V spread that results, on the productivity of swards of subterranean clover cvs Esperance, Green Range and Karridale. Except in irrigated plots of cv. Green Range, a variable proportion of the CMV-infected seedlings always failed to establish, so sowing infected seed normally resulted in plots containing fewer or far fewer seed-infected plants than expected. The rate of virus spread by aphids was faster and resulted in more extensive infection at maturity when the plots contained more seed-infected source plants. In two irrigated trials at South Perth, in which healthy and infected seed of cvs Esperance and Green Range was sown, CMV spread was extensive. When the plots were left undefoliated, herbage dry wt yields were decreased by 12 – 30% and seed yields by 53 – 64% due to infection. When they were mown, the herbage dry wt losses recorded were 17 – 24%. In three trials at Mt Barker sown with healthy and infected seed, extensive spread of CMV occurred with cv. Green Range but not with cvs Esperance and Karridale. With cv. Green Range, losses of 25 – 28% in herbage dry wt were recorded inside CMV-affected patches in mown or grazed plots, while losses were up to 13% when herbage was sampled at random. Seed yield losses were 40–42% and 53% in infected mown and undefoliated cv. Green Range plots, respectively. In the mown or grazed plots of cvs Esperance and Karridale, herbage dry wt losses recorded were up to 7% while seed yield losses were 9 – 16% in mown and 9% in undefoliated plots. The mean wt/seed of seed harvested from mown plots of cvs Green Range and Karridale sown with infected seed was 8–12% less than that of seed from mown control plots. CMV was detected in seed harvested from undefoliated cv. Green Range plots and mown plots of cvs Green Range and Karridale sown with infected seed but levels of seed infection with the mown plots were 3–5 times less than in the seed sown. Field trials were done at two sites in 1987 – 90 to examine the persistence of CMV in subterranean clover swards. CMV infection was established in 1987 and the plots were grazed in subsequent years. At Badgingarra, infection gradually decreased with little CMV being recovered by 1990. At Mt Barker, recovery of CMV was relatively poor in 1988 and even poorer in 1989, but there was some resurgence of CMV infection in 1990. 相似文献

1 A survey of plant and soil parameters was carried out in dry dune grasslands along the Dutch coast in the lime‐ and iron‐poor Wadden district and initially lime‐ and iron‐rich Renodunaal district, in order to detect differences in nutrient availability related to soil characteristics and potential sensitivity to atmospheric deposition of nitrogen.
2 Plant biomass and phosphorus pools in the shoot were higher in the Wadden district. The low foliar nitrogen concentrations and nitrogen/phosphorus ratios in the Wadden district suggested nitrogen‐limitation, while in the Renodunaal district there appeared to be a balanced supply of both nitrogen and phosphorus.
3 Soil pH, soil organic matter, soil nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and total amounts were generally higher in the Renodunaal district. In both districts mineral phosphorus decreased with acidification and phosphorus oxalate (iron and aluminium bound) increased.
4 In the Wadden district iron is present primarily in iron–organic matter complexes, which leads to reversible binding of phosphorus. In the Renodunaal district large amounts of iron (hydr)oxides occur and at high pH may contribute to reversible phosphorus‐sorption, but at low pH this probably leads to immobilization of phosphorus.
5 While pools of soil phosphorus are low in the Wadden district, the phosphorus availability may be relatively high due to the comparatively loose nature of phosphorus‐sorption. As a result the area may be nitrogen‐limited and grass‐encroachment may thus have resulted from atmospheric deposition of nitrogen.
6 In the Renodunaal district, atmospheric deposition probably only accelerates grass‐encroachment, because deposition of acid and nitrogen increases the availability of both nitrogen and phosphorus and maintains the 'co‐limitation'. 相似文献

Although Al‐induced iron chlorosis has been observed in many plants, the mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon are yet to be understood. We investigated the effect of Al on iron acquisition in a Strategy II plant, wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) using both Al‐tolerant (Atlas 66) and ‐sensitive (Scout 66) cultivars. When iron was supplied as insoluble iron, ferric hydroxide, in the culture solution, both cultivars without Al treatment grew normally, while those with 100 µ M AlCl3 developed chlorosis of the young leaves after 3 days of the treatment. A 21‐h treatment with 100 µ M AlCl3 in 0.5 m M CaCl2 solution (pH 4.5) decreased the amount of 2'‐deoxymugineic acid (DMA) secreted by Fe‐deficient Atlas 66 and Scout 66 plants by 85 and 90%, respectively. The amount of DMA secreted decreased with increasing external Al concentrations. Al treatment during the biosynthesis process caused the inhibition of that of DMA within 3 h. The secretion process was also found to be inhibited by Al, resulting in the biosynthesized DMA remaining in the roots. These results demonstrate the inhibition by Al of both biosynthesis and secretion of DMA attributed to Al‐induced iron chlorosis. 相似文献

Production of nitrogenous waste by livestock agriculture is a significant environmental concern in terms of pollution of land and water. In the rumens of cattle and sheep, the excessive proteolysis which contributes to inefficiency of nutrient use involves both the rumen microbial population and the intrinsic plant proteases that can mediate protein degradation in ingested fresh forage on exposure to the environmental stresses of the rumen. Here, white clover (Trifolium repens) plants that do not form root nodules, and so are dependent on nitrate supplied to the roots, have been used to determine how nitrogen status of the plant affects the rate of plant‐mediated proteolysis in forage under conditions that simulate ingestion by grazing ruminants. Plants were grown from seed and supplied with nutrient solution containing 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 or 10 mM nitrate. Protein, free amino acid and protease activity were determined in leaves which had been placed in an in vitro system designed to simulate conditions experienced in the rumen (anaerobic phosphate buffer maintained at 39°C in the dark). Foliar protein content increased with increasing nitrate supply, while in vitro incubation of leaves resulted in time‐dependent decreases in protein concentration and increases in amino acid concentration. Regardless of nitrate supply, 50% of the protein was degraded in 6 h and 80% after 24 h. As the extent of protein decrease was determined by initial protein content, more protein degradation occurred in those plants grown with the highest nitrate supply: after 6 h, 130.7 mg g?1 dry matter (DM) was degraded in leaves grown at 10 mM nitrate but only 52.3 mg g?1 DM in leaves grown at 2.5 mM nitrate. Hence, although the percentage of proteolysis is independent of foliar protein concentration, the latter is critical to the quantity of protein degraded. Heat‐stable serine and cysteine proteases were active throughout the term of the in vitro incubation. Although proteolysis in ingested forage can continue for many hours, mediated by heat‐stable proteases, maximum amino acid accumulation accounted for less than 40% of initial protein. Therefore, it is proposed that continued and extensive proteolysis occurs following leaf excision and exposure to rumen conditions because amino acid accumulation is insufficient to initiate those feedback systems which sense cytoplasmic amino acid concentration and prevent excessive proteolysis during normal source–sink relations. 相似文献

The role of glutathione and the response of components of the ascorbic acid‐glutathione cycle in cold acclimation and the acquired freezing tolerance of jack pine ( Pinus banksiana Lamb.) seedlings were investigated. An increase in the reduced to oxidized glutathione mole ratio was correlated with the increase in root soluble and membrane‐bound protein thiol concentrations during cold acclimation and after a freeze and thaw event. All the enzymes involved in the ascorbic acid‐glutathione cycle were regulated by low temperatures and increased activities of ascorbic peroxidase, dehydroascorbate reductase, monodehydroascorbate reductase, and glutathione reductase were observed after the conditioning of the seedlings to low temperatures. Our results suggest that these enzymes play a protective role following the exposure of the seedlings to freezing temperatures. 相似文献
