The effect of water stress and subsequent rehydration on 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) content, ACC synthase activity, ethylene production, and leaf abscission was studied in Cleopatra mandarin (Citrus reshni Hort. ex Tan.) seedlings. Leaf abscission occurred when drought-stressed plants were allowed to rehydrate, whereas no abscission was observed in plants under water stress conditions. In roots of water-stressed plants, a high ACC accumulation and an increase in ACC synthase activity were observed. Neither increase in ACC content nor significant ethylene production were detected in leaves of water-stressed plants. After rehydration, a sharp rise in ACC content and ethylene production was observed in leaves of water-stressed plants. Content of ACC in xylem fluid was 10-fold higher in plants rehydrated for 2 h after water stress than in nonstressed plants. Leaf abscission induced by rehydration after drought stress was inhibited when roots or shoots were treated before water stress with aminooxyacetic acid (AOA, inhibitor of ACC synthase) or cobalt ion (inhibitor of ethylene-forming enzyme), respectively. However, AOA treatments to shoots did not suppress leaf abscission. The data indicate that water stress promotes ACC synthesis in roots of Cleopatra mandarin seedlings. Rehydration of plants results in ACC transport to the shoots, where it is oxidized to ethylene. Subsequently, this ethylene induces leaf abscission.  相似文献

The influence of cytokinins on ethylene production was examined using cotton leaf tissues. Treatment of intact cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv LG 102) seedlings with both natural and synthetic cytokinins resulted in an increase in ethylene production by excised leaves. The effectiveness of the cytokinins tested was as follows: thidiazuron BA isopentyladenine ≥ zeatin kinetin. Using 100 micromolar thidiazuron (TDZ), an initial increase in ethylene production was observed 7 to 8 hours post-treatment, reached a maximum by 24 hours and then declined. Inhibitors of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthesis and its oxidation to ethylene reduced ethylene production 24 hours post-treatment; however, by 48 hours only inhibitors of ACC oxidation were effective. The increase in ethylene production was accompanied by a massive accumulation of ACC and its acid-labile conjugate. TDZ treatment resulted in a significant increase in the capacity of tissues to oxidize ACC to ethylene. Endogenous levels of methionine remained constant following TDZ treatment. It was concluded that the stimulation of ethylene production in cotton leaves following cytokinin treatment was the result of an increase in both the formation and oxidation of ACC.  相似文献

1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) supplied via the cut base of detached olive shoots caused a burst of ethylene from leaves, but other cyclopropanes tested did not exhibit this effect. Ethephon (ET) and another ethylene-releasing compound caused a prolonged increase in ethylene evolution. ACC had only a very limited effect on leaf abscission regardless of concentration, whereas shoots placed with cut bases in ET for 60 to 80 minutes exhibited 100% leaf abscission within 90 hours. Shoots with inflorescences treated with ET just prior to anthesis began to wilt in vitro within 20 to 30 hours and failed to exhibit leaf abscission. At earlier stages of development, ET induced more leaf abscission on reproductive shoots than on vegetative shoots. It is suggested that the duration of ethylene evolution from the leaves governs their potential for abscission and that bursts of ethylene evolution even though large in amount may not induce abscission.  相似文献

Three types of whole plant experiments are presented to substantiate the concept that an important function of ethylene in abscission is to reduce the transport of auxin from the leaf to the abscission zone. (a) The inhibitory effect of ethylene on auxin transport, like ethylene-stimulated abscission, persists only as long as the gas is continuously present. Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. Stoneville 213) and bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Resistant Black Valentine) plants placed in 14 μl/l of ethylene for 24 or 48 hours showed an increase in leaf abscission and a reduced capacity to transport auxin; but when returned to air, auxin transport gradually increased and abscission ceased. (b) Ethylene-induced abscission and auxin transport inhibition show similar sensitivities to temperature. A 24-hour exposure of cotton plants to 14 μl/l of ethylene at 8 C resulted in no abscission and no significant inhibition of auxin transport. Increasing the temperature during ethylene treatment resulted in a progressively greater reduction in auxin transport with abscission occurring at [unk]27 C where auxin transport was inhibited over 70%. (c) Auxin pretreatment reduced both ethylene-induced abscission and auxin transport inhibition. No abscission occurred, and auxin transport was inhibited only 18% in cotton plants which were pretreated with 250 mg/l of naphthalene acetic acid and then placed in 14 μl/l of ethylene for 24 hours. In contrast, over 30% abscission occurred, and auxin transport was inhibited 58% in the corresponding control plants.  相似文献

An experiment was conducted with field-grown cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) to determine the effects of drought and an increase in available photosynthate on the abscisic acid (ABA) and indoleacetic acid (IAA) contents of 3-day-old bolls and their abscission zones. Photosynthate availability was manipulated by removing about two-thirds of the plants to permit increased irradiance, and thus photosynthesis, in the plant canopy. The demand for photosynthate was decreased by removing all bolls from the remaining plants. The thinning and defruiting operations were performed about 3 weeks after first flower. Control plants were neither thinned nor defruited. Effects of water deficit were observed by making three harvests at different times during a 2-week irrigation cycle. Increasing the availability of photosynthate increased boll retention, but had relatively little effect on the concentrations of ABA and IAA in bolls. However, it did increase the concentration of IAA in abscission zones. Water deficit increased the ABA content of bolls and abscission zones and decreased the IAA content of bolls and abscission zones. Across all treatments, the IAA content of abscission zones was positively correlated, and the ABA content of bolls was negatively correlated, with boll retention. The results indicate that stresses change the hormonal balance in ways that are consistent with observed increases in fruit abscission.  相似文献

[14C]sucrose was applied to the leaf subtending 14-d-old boll(cotton fruit) with and without bracts, and to bracts alonein var. Suvin (Gossypium barbadense L.). The removal of bractssubstantially enhanced the transport of radioactivity from theleaf to the carpels and seed cotton. When bracts alone weretreated, still larger quantities of radioactivity were incorporatedin the carpels and seed cotton. The bracts appeared to nourishthe developing boll through their own photosynthate and regulatethe transport of assimilate from the leaf.

An experiment was conducted in sunlit controlled environment growth chambers to determine the physiological mechanisms of fruit abscission of cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. NuCOTN 33B) grown in high temperature and enhanced ultraviolet (UV)-B radiation. Six treatments included two levels of optimum (30/22°C) and high (36/28°C) day/night temperatures and three levels of biologically effective UV-B radiation (0, 7, and 14 kJ m−2 per day). Both the temperature and UV-B treatments were imposed from seedling emergence through 79 days after emergence (DAE). High temperature did not negatively affect either leaf net photosynthetic rates (Pn) or abscission of cotton squares (floral buds with bracts) but significantly decreased boll retention. Plants exposed to 7 kJ UV-B radiation retained 56% less bolls than the 0 kJ UV-B control plants at 79 DAE, despite no significant differences in leaf Pn measured at squaring and flowering. At 53 DAE, leaf Pn of plants grown in high UV-B radiation (14 kJ m−2 per day) decreased by 11%, whereas total non-structural carbohydrate (TNC) concentrations in the leaves, floral buds, and young bolls decreased by 34, 32, and 20%, respectively, compared with the control plants. The high UV-B radiation significantly increased square abscission. Square abscission was not related to leaf TNC concentration but closely correlated with TNC in floral buds ( r  = −0.68, P  < 0.001). Young boll abscission was highly correlated with TNC concentrations in both the leaves ( r  = −0.40, P  < 0.01) and the bolls ( r  = −0.80, P  < 0.001). Our results indicate that non-structural carbohydrate limitation in reproductive parts was a major factor associated with fruit abscission of cotton grown under high temperature and enhanced UV-B radiation conditions.  相似文献

The influence of calcium nutrition on ethylene-induced abscission was studied by growing cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. Stoneville 213) and bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Resistant Black Valentine) plants for several weeks in nutrient solutions containing 2, 10 (normal level), 15, or 20 meq/l of calcium, and then treating the plants with ethylene. Increasing the calcium level of cotton from 2 to 20 meq/l resulted in a 9-fold increase in the calcium content of the abscission zone and a maximum reduction of 25% in the amount of leaf abscission induced by ethylene (9 μl/l). Bean plants grown on 10, 15, or 20 meq/l calcium solutions showed corresponding increases in the calcium content of the abscission zone but showed no significant differences in the rate of ethyleneinduced abscission. Only at the lowest calcium level of 2 meq/l, where deficiency symptoms became apparent, was a significant effect observed. These results suggest that under normal cultural practices calcium nutrition has little influence on the rate of ethylene-induced abscission.  相似文献

Apples (Malus sylvestris Mill, cv Golden Delicious) were treated before harvest with aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG). AVG is presumed to reversibly inhibit 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) activity, but not the formation of ACC synthase. AVG treatment effectively blocked initiation of autocatalytic ethylene production and ripening of harvested apples. Exogenous ethylene induced extractable ACC synthase activity and ripening in AVG-treated apples. Removal of exogenous ethylene caused a rapid decline in ACC synthase activity and in CO2 production. The results with ripened, AVG-treated apples indicate (a) a dose-response relationship between ethylene and enhancement of ACC synthase activity with a half-maximal response at approximately 0.8 μl/l ethylene; (b) reversal of ethylene-enhanced ACC synthase activity by CO2; (c) enhancement of ACC synthase activity by the ethylene-activity analog propylene.

Induction of ACC synthase activity, autocatalytic ethylene production, and ripening of preclimacteric apples not treated with AVG were delayed by 6 and 10% CO2, but not by 1.25% CO2. However, each of these CO2 concentrations reduced the rate of increase of ACC synthase activity.

The never ripe mutation blocks ethylene perception in tomato.   总被引:19,自引:1,他引:18       下载免费PDF全文
Seedlings of tomato fruit ripening mutants were screened for their ability to respond to ethylene. Ethylene induced the triple response in etiolated hypocotyls of all tomato ripening mutants tested except for one, Never ripe (Nr). Our results indicated that the lack of ripening in this mutant is caused by ethylene insensitivity. Segregation analysis indicated that Nr-associated ethylene insensitivity is a single codominant trait and is pleiotropic, blocking senescence and abscission of flowers and the epinastic response of petioles. In normal tomato flowers, petal abscission and senescence occur 4 to 5 days after the flower opens and precede fruit expansion. If fertilization does not occur, pedicel abscission occurs 5 to 8 days after petal senescence. If unfertilized, Nr flowers remained attached to the plant indefinitely, and petals remained viable and turgid more than four times longer than their normal counterparts. Fruit development in Nr plants was not preceded by petal senescence; petals and anthers remained attached until they were physically displaced by the expanding ovary. Analysis of engineered 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase-overexpressing plants indicated that they are phenotypic opposites of Nr plants. Constitutive expression of ACC synthase in tomato plants resulted in high rates of ethylene production by many tissues of the plant and induced petiole epinasty and premature senescence and abscission of flowers, usually before anthesis. There were no obvious effects on senescence in leaves of ACC synthase overexpressers, suggesting that although ethylene may be important, it is not sufficient to cause tomato leaf senescence; other signals are clearly involved.  相似文献

The effect of the defoliant thidiazuron (N-phenyl-N′-1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-ylurea) on endogenous ethylene evolution and the role of endogenous ethylene in thidiazuron-mediated leaf abscission were examined in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv Stoneville 519) seedlings. Treatment of 20- to 30-day-old seedlings with thidiazuron at concentrations equal to or greater than 10 micromolar resulted in leaf abscission. At a treatment concentration of 100 micromolar, nearly total abscission of the youngest leaves was observed. Following treatment, abscission of the younger leaves commenced within 48 hours and was complete by 120 hours. A large increase in ethylene evolution from leaf blades and abscission zone explants was readily detectable within 24 hours of treatment and persisted until leaf fall. Ethylene evolution from treated leaf blades was greatest 1 day posttreatment and reached levels in excess of 600 nanoliters per gram fresh weight per hour (26.7 nanomoles per gram fresh weight per hour). The increase in ethylene evolution occurred in the absence of increased ethane evolution, altered leaf water potential, or decreased chlorophyll levels. Treatment of seedlings with inhibitors of ethylene action (silver thiosulfate, hypobaric pressure) or ethylene synthesis (aminoethoxyvinylglycine) resulted in an inhibition of thidiazuron-induced defoliation. Application of exogenous ethylene or 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid largely restored the thidiazuron response. The results indicate that thidiazuron-induced leaf abscission is mediated, at least in part, by an increase in endogenous ethylene evolution. However, alterations of other phytohormone systems thought to be involved in regulating leaf abscission are not excluded by these studies.  相似文献

Ethylene-induced Leaf Abscission Is Promoted by Gibberellic Acid   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0       下载免费PDF全文
Gibberellic acid (GA3) promoted leaf abscission from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) plants exposed to ethylene. With mature plants, only the rate of abscission was increased, but when vegetative plants were exposed to ethylene for 4 days or less, the amount of abscission was increased markedly. Promotion of abscission occurred at near saturating ethylene levels (10 μl/liter), over a wide range of GA3 concentrations, and with both GA3 and GA7.  相似文献

Excision of main stem leaf subtending the sympodium decreasedascorbic acid turnover in the developing boll (cotton fruit)on the first node of this sympodium in var. Suvin Gossypiumbarbadense L). Ascorbic acid turnover increased substantiallyin seed cotton and carpels of the boll when sucrose was appliedto the source leaf even though the main stem leaf remained excised.The role of ascorbic acid if any in boll growth appeared tobe linked with sucrose transport.

The petiole abscission induced by deblading cotyledonary leavesof cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. Delta Pine) was acceleratedby the presence of the intact shoot apex or, in decapitatedplants and explants, by application to the stem (proximal application)of indol-3yl-acetic acid (IAA) or 1-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylicacid (ACC). IAA and ACC accelerated the abscission of debladedpetioles whether applied above or below the cotyledonary node.Transport of IAA to the node was not required for the responseto proximal IAA. [2,3-14C]ACC was readily transported to thenodal region whether applied to the stem above or below thenode. Application of IAA or ACC to the stem did not induce theabscission of intact leaves or of debladed petioles treateddistally with IAA The acceleration of abscission by proximal IAA, but not thatcaused by ACC, was prevented if explants were treated with a-aminooxyaceticacid (AOA), an inhibitor of ACC-synthase. AOA also preventedthe acceleration of abscission caused by the shoot apex. Theprogress of abscission in debladed explants was greatly delayedby silver thiosulphate (STS—an inhibitor of ethylene action),whether or not the explants were treated with IAA or ACC. Itis suggested that the speeding effects of the shoot apex andof proximal auxin on the abscission of debladed petioles requiresauxin-induced ACC synthesis. The possibility is discussed thatACC may function as a mobile abscission promoter Key words: Abscission, ACC, ACC-synthase, cotton (Gossypium), proximal auxin  相似文献

Abscission: the initial effect of ethylene is in the leaf blade   总被引:13,自引:10,他引:3       下载免费PDF全文
Beyer EM 《Plant physiology》1975,55(2):322-327
The leaf blade of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv. Stoneville 213) was investigated as the initial site of ethylene action in abscission. Ethylene applied at 14 μl/l to intact 3-week-old plants caused abscission of the third true leaf within 3 days. However, keeping only the leaf blade of this leaf in air during ethylene treatment of the rest of the plant completely prevented its abscission for up to 7 days. This inhibition of abscission was apparently the result of continued auxin production in the blade since (a) the application of an auxin transport inhibitor to the petiole of the air-treated leaf blade restored ethylene sensitivity to the leaf in terms of abscission; (b) repeated applications of naphthaleneacetic acid to the leaf blade of the third true leaf, when the entire plant was exposed to ethylene, had the same preventive effect on abscission of this leaf as keeping its leaf blade in air; and (c) the inhibitory effect of ethylene on auxin transport in the petiole, which is reduced by auxin treatment, was also reduced by placing the leaf blade in air.  相似文献

The plant growth regulator PGR-IV has been reported to improve the growth, boll retention, and yield of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) under optimum growing conditions. However, little is known about the response of cotton to PGR-IV under low light stress. A 3-year field study was conducted to determine if applying PGR-IV before an 8-day period of shade (63% light reduction) benefitted the growth and yield of shaded cotton. Shading during early squaring did not affect yield. Shading after the first flower stage significantly increased leaf chlorophyll concentration and fruit abscission and decreased the leaf photosynthetic rate, nonstructural carbohydrate concentrations, and lint yield. Foliar application of PGR-IV at 292 mL ha−1 at early squaring and first flower did not improve the leaf photosynthetic rate of shaded cotton. However, shaded plants receiving PGR-IV had higher nonstructural carbohydrate concentrations in the floral buds and significantly lower fruit abscission than the shaded plants without PGR-IV. Applying PGR-IV to the foliage before shading resulted in a numeric increase (6–18%) in lint yield compared with shaded plants without PGR-IV. The decreased fruit abscission from the application of PGR-IV was associated with improved assimilate translocation. The yield enhancement from foliar application of PGR-IV was attributed to increased fruit retention. However, the average boll weight of shaded plants with PGR-IV tended to be lower than that of shaded plants without PGR-IV. Lint percentage was not affected by PGR-IV. Foliar application of PGR-IV appears beneficial for increasing the fruit retention of shaded cotton. Received June 12, 1997; accepted January 19, 1998  相似文献

The effects of Meloidogyne incognita on the growth and water relations of cotton were evaluated in a 2-year field study. Microplots containing methyl bromide-fumigated fine sandy loam soil were infested with the nematode and planted to cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Treatments included addition of nematodes alone, addition of nematodes plus the insecticide-nematicide aldicarb (1.7 kg/ha), and an untreated control. Meloidogyne incognita population densities reached high levels in both treatments where nematodes were included. Root galling, plant height at harvest, and seed cotton yield were decreased by nematode infection. In older plants (89 days after planting [DAP]), leaf transpiration rates and stomatal conductance were reduced, and leaf temperature was increased by nematode infection. Nematode infection did not affect (P = 0.05) leaf water potential in either young or older plants but lowered the osmotic potential. The maximum rate and cumulative amount of water flowing through intact plants during a 24-hour period were lower, on both a whole-plant and per-unit-leaf-area basis, in infected plants than in control plants. Application of aldicarb moderated some of the nematode effects but did not eliminate them.  相似文献
