Angiosperms are divided into two distinct classes—the dicotyledons (dicots) and monocotyledons (monocots)—based in part on the number of cotyledons in mature embryos. In this paper, we describe single‐cotyledon pea mutants, termed sic ( single cotyledon), all of which show a degree of fusion between the cotyledons. The fusion in sic1 is along the margin of one cotyledon and is less complete than in sic2 embryos, but the effects of the mutations are additive in the double mutant. Occasionally sic2 mutants will show fusion of the two cotyledons into one cylindrical embryo in which the shoot apex becomes surrounded by the cotyledons. Both sic1 and sic2 mutants produce fertile plants. In the sic3 embryo, a single cotyledon is generated under the shoot apex that breaks the vascular connection between root and shoot, causing embryo lethality. The pattern of cotyledon development in all these mutants is identified by in situ mRNA hybridization and antibody labeling, using the storage protein vicilin as a cotyledon‐specific marker. These patterns indicate that the joining of the cotyledons was due to zonal growth. The results indicate that there are genes in pea that influence the positioning and the morphology of the cotyledon. A model for cotyledon development in pea is proposed that is based on the regulation of the positioning of cell clusters by the sic genes. Dev. Genet. 25:11–22, 1999. © 1999 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

The cucumber cotyledon expansion test was used as a model system to study a possible relationship between cytokinin and polyamines.
When kinetin was applied to excised cotyledons incubated in the dark it caused a marked increase in the activity of arginine
decarboxylase. As a result of ADC action, putrescine content also rose markedly, whereas the level of spermidine and spermine
decreased. However, inhibition of putrescine biosynthesis with D-arginine did not affect cytokinin promotion growth. Applied
alone, putrescine had no significant effect on growth. These results indicate that the large increase in putrescine content
that derives from cytokinin treatment cotyledons is not essential for cytokinin-induced expansion of cotyledons. Addition
of K + and Ca 2+ ions to the cotyledons incubated with cytokinin caused a marked reduction in the putrescine level and ADC activity.
The higher level of putrescine (35 %) and spermine (62 %) bound to chromatin and the large increase (174 %) in spermidine
content bound to ribosomes which derive from cytokinintreated cotyledons in relation to literature data can indicate that
these polyamines may play an important role in gene expression during cytokinin-stimulated expansion of cucumber cotyledons.
The inhibition of cytokinin effect, viz. enlargement of the cotyledons by inhibitors of spermidine biosynthesis, additionally suggessted a possible involvement of
polyamines in cytokinin action. 相似文献

Rhamnose is required in Arabidopsis thaliana for synthesizing pectic polysaccharides and glycosylating flavonols. RHAMNOSE BIOSYNTHESIS1 ( RHM1) encodes a UDP‐l ‐rhamnose synthase, and rhm1 mutants exhibit many developmental defects, including short root hairs, hyponastic cotyledons, and left‐handed helically twisted petals and roots. It has been proposed that the hyponastic cotyledons observed in rhm1 mutants are a consequence of abnormal flavonol glycosylation, while the root hair defect is flavonol‐independent. We have recently shown that the helical twisting of rhm1 petals results from decreased levels of rhamnose‐containing cell wall polymers. In this study, we found that flavonols indirectly modify the rhm1 helical petal phenotype by altering rhamnose flux to the cell wall. Given this finding, we further investigated the relationship between flavonols and the cell wall in rhm1 cotyledons. We show that decreased flavonol rhamnosylation is not responsible for the cotyledon phenotype of rhm1 mutants. Instead, blocking flavonol synthesis or rhamnosylation can suppress rhm1 defects by diverting UDP‐l ‐rhamnose to the synthesis of cell wall polysaccharides. Therefore, rhamnose is required in the cell wall for normal expansion of cotyledon epidermal cells. Our findings suggest a broad role for rhamnose‐containing cell wall polysaccharides in the morphogenesis of epidermal cells. 相似文献

A high frequency shoot regeneration system for ornamental kale [ Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala (D.C.) Alef.] was firstly established from seedling cotyledon and hypocotyl explants. The ability of cotyledon and hypocotyl
to produce adventitious shoots varied depending upon genotype, seedling age and culture medium. The maximum shoot regeneration
frequency was obtained when the explants from cv. Nagoya 4-d-old seedlings were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium
supplemented with 3 mg dm −3 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and 0.1 mg dm −3 naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The frequency of shoot regeneration was 65.0 % for cotyledons, 76.1 % for hypocotyls; and the
number of shoots per explant was 4.3 for cotyledons, 8.2 for hypocotyls. Hypocotyl explants were found to be more responsive
for regeneration when compared with cotyledons. Among the 4 cultivars tested, Nagoya showed the best shoot regeneration response.
The addition of 3.0 mg dm −3 AgNO 3 was beneficial to shoot regeneration. Roots were formed on the base of the shoots when cultured on half-strength MS medium. 相似文献

The role of cotyledons in seedling establishment of the euhalophyte Suaeda physophora under non-saline and saline conditions (addition of 1 mM or 400 mM NaCl) was investigated. Survival and fresh and dry weights were greater for seedlings grown in the light (12-h light/12-h dark) than in the dark (24-h dark). The shading of cotyledons tended to decrease shoot height, shoot organic dry weight, number of leaves, and survival of seedlings regardless of NaCl treatment, but the effect of cotyledon shading was greater with 400 mM NaCl. Concentrations of Na + were higher in cotyledons than in leaves, regardless of NaCl treatment. The K +/Na + ratio was lower in cotyledons than in leaves for seedlings treated with 1 mM NaCl but not for seedlings treated with 400 mM NaCl. Addition of 400 mM NaCl decreased oxygen production in cotyledons but especially in leaves. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that, by generating oxygen via photosynthesis and by compartmentalizing Na +, cotyledons are crucial for the establishment of S. physophora seedlings in saline environments. 相似文献

The cellular pathway of sugar uptake in developing cotyledons of Vicia faba L. and Phaseolus vulgaris L. seed was evaluated using a physiological approach. The cotyledon interface with the seed coat is characterised by a specialised dermal cell complex. In the case of Vicia faba cotyledons, the epidermal component of the dermal cell complex is composed of transfer cells. Sucrose is the major sugar presented to the outer surface of both cotyledons and it is taken up from the apoplasm unaltered. Estimated sucrose concentrations within the apparent free space of Vicia and Phaseolus cotyledons were 105 and 113 mM respectively. Rates of in-vitro uptake of [ 14C]sucrose by cotyledon segments or by whole cotyledons following physical removal or porter inactivation of the outer cells demonstrated that, for both Vicia and Phaseolus cotyledons, the dermal cell complexes are the most intense sites of sucrose uptake. Accumulation of [ 14C]sucrose in the storage parenchyma of whole cotyledons was directly affected by experimental manipulation of uptake by the outer cell layers and plasmolytic disruption of the interconnecting plasmodesmata. These findings indicated that sucrose accumulated by the dermal cell complexes is transported symplasmically to the storage parenchyma. Overall, it is concluded that the dermal cell complexes of the developing legume embryo, irrespective of the presence or absence of wall ingrowths, are the major sites for the uptake of sucrose released from the maternal tissues to the seed apoplasm. Thereafter, the accumulated sucrose is transported radially inward through the symplast to the storage parenchyma.Abbreviations AFS

Summary A characteristic phenotype of highly embryogenic explants along with the location of embryogenesis- and transformation-competent
cells/tissues on immature cotyledons of soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merrill.] under hygromycin selection was identified. This highly embryogenic immature cotyledon was characterized with
emergence of somatic embryos and incidence of browning/necrotic tissues along the margins and collapsed tissues in the mid-region
of an explant incubated upwards on the selection medium. The influences of various parameters on induction of somatic embryogenesis
on immature cotyledons following Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation and selection were investigated. Using cotyledon explants derived from immature embryos of 5–8 mm
in length, a 1∶1 (v/v; bacterial cells to liquid D40 medium) concentration of bacterial suspension and 4-wk cocultivation
period significantly increased the frequency of transgenic somatic embryos. Whereas, increasing the infection period of explants
or subjecting explants to either wounding or acetosyringone treatments did not increase the frequency of transformation. An
optimal selection regime was identified when inoculated immature cotyledons were incubated on either 10 or 25 mgl −1 hygromycin for a 2-wk period, and then maintained on selection media containing 25 mgl −1 hygromycin in subsequent selection periods. However, somatic embryogenesis was completely inhibited when inoculated immature
cotyledons were incubated on a kanamycin selection medium. These findings clearly demonstrated that the tissue culture protocols
for transformation of soybean should be established under both Agrobacterium and selection conditions. 相似文献

The short-term response of redlegged earth mite, Halotydeus destructor (Tucker) (Acarina: Penthaleidae) to cotyledons of different varieties of subterranean clover ( Trifolium subterraneum subsp. subterraneum L.) was assessed by means of paired choice tests, and no-choice tests. H. destructor had lower numbers and fed less on detached cotyledons of resistant than susceptible varieties, yielding a correlation between the numbers of mites and feeding damage to the cotyledons during a three hour test period. For a number of resistant and susceptible varieties, there was a negative correlation between cotyledon deterrence in the three hour choice test and feeding damage to seedling after a two week period. Since the response of the mites to different subclover varieties occurred within three hours, it is concluded that the resistance is based on antixenosis.No evidence was obtained for antifeedant activity in organic solvent extracts from the variety DGI007 (resistant) in comparison with those from the variety Dalkeith (susceptible). Water soluble compounds from DGI007 cotyledons were preferred by mites, in feeding tests in terms of numbers, over those from Dalkeith (susceptible). Squeezed sap from the cotyledons of both varieties showed the same effects on mites as 5% glucose and were more phagostimulatory than water extracts. Mechanically damaged cotyledons of Dalkeith and DGI007 attracted more mites than the undamaged counterparts. The toughness of cotyledons in 17 varieties of T. subterraneum subsp. subterraneum was measured with a manual penetrometer. Results showed a negative correlation between toughness values and mite feeding damage scores (r 2=0.752) for all varieties except S3615D (resistant). This implies a likely involvement of epidermal toughness as a contributor in the antixenotic resistance of these varieties. Other mechanisms may be involved in the resistance of S3615D. 相似文献

During germination a decrease in both soluble and protein argmine occurs in pumpkin cotyledons ( Cucurbita moschata Poir.) and this decrease parallels the decrease in total nitrogen. Arginine is readily metabolized to urea and ornithine and the metabolism of the latter compounds were studied by allowing cotyledons of intact plants to absorb urea ?14C and by incubating cotyledon discs with ornithine-2 ?14C. Of the urea absorbed, 90 % of the label was metabolized to 14CO 2 with little free urea remaining in the plant. Urease activity in the cotyledons reached a maximum at 4 to 6 days of germination. Ornithine was extensively metabolized with 37 % of the label being incorporated into protein by 3 h. Soluble and protein arginine accounted for 23 % of the label suggesting that Krebs-Henseliet cycle enzymes were present. 相似文献

Optimal culture conditions for high frequency plant regeneration from excised cotyledons of Tamarindus indica were established. Maximum shoot bud differentiation (100%) occurred when the adaxial surface of the entire cotyledon (excised from 12-d old seedlings) was in contact with MS medium containing 5×10 –6M BAP. On MS alone only roots were formed. Shoot or root formation was confined to nodal tissue at the top of the notch present on the adaxial surface at the proximal end of the cotyledon. Thirty-four to 95 shoots were regenerated in a 4 month period from individual cotyledons. Shoots were rooted on MS with 5.7×10 –6M IAA. IAA (5.7×10 –7M) alone induced complete plant formation. Regenerated plants were established in the soil with 70% success.Abbreviations BAP

Shoot regeneration was achieved from immature cotyledons of five chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes: C235, ICC4971, ICC11531, ICC12257 and ICC12873. The cotyledons cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 3 or 5 mg dm –3 zeatin with or without 0.04 mg dm –3 indole acetic acid (IAA) showed formation of cotyledon like structures (CLS) at their proximal ends. Subsequently, shoot regeneration took place in some of the CLS forming explants. CLS were also formed in cotyledons cultured on MS + 0.2 – 1 mg dm –3 thidiazuron (TDZ); direct shoot regeneration was observed in cotyledons cultured on 1 mg dm –3 TDZ. The shoot buds elongated on media containing indole butyric acid (IBA), benzylaminopurine (BAP) and gibberellic acid (GA 3). Complete plantlets were obtained by rooting of shoots following pulse treatment with 200 mg dm –3 IBA for 5 min and culture on growth regulator free half-strength MS medium. 相似文献

Pyrus malus L. var. Golden delicious embryos were incubated with (±)-[2- 14C]abscisic acid (ABA) (10 -5 M, 355 kBq mol -1). After incubations of various durations, the radioactivity was measured in whole embryos, cotyledons, and embryonic axes.With either 48-h or 16-d incubation periods, the uptake of [ 14C]ABA depended upon the mode of culture used. The lowest values corresponded to the absorption by the embryonic axis, the highest to the absorption by the distal parts of the two cotyledons. The cotyledons accumulated the main part of the radioactivity under all conditions. Dormant and almost completely after-ripened embryos cultivated for 4 d showed no significant differences in the radioactivity uptake for identical modes of culture. There was a linear relationship between exogenous ABA concentrations (0.5 to 3.10 -5 M) and ABA uptake for embryos cultivated for 4 d with the distal parts of the cotyledons immersed in the medium.Abbreviations ABA

The quantitative anatomy of developing cotyledons of NAD-malic enzyme species Salsola incanescens and NADP-malic enzyme species S. paulsenii (Chenopodiaceae) was studied. S. incanescens belongs to the group of species with foliar type of seedling development characterized by slowly growing cotyledons and a rosette form at juvenility. The rosette is the consequence of fast leaf formation, which was correlated with a low rate of leaf growth. S. paulsenii belongs to the group with the cotyledonous type of seedling development. A high growth rate of cotyledons, slow leaf formation, and absence of the rosette characterize this type. Slow leaf formation was correlated with a high rate of leaf growth. The Kranz–anatomy in cotyledons of S. incanescens (atriplicoid type) and S. paulsenii (salsoloid type) determines the duration of cotyledon development proceeding for 15 days after seed germination. The rate of growth changes during the developmental period was correlated with the type of seedling development. Cotyledons of a foliar species S. incanescens exhibit 2 to 5 times slower growth changes in cotyledon area, width, thickness, volume of mesophyll and bundle sheath cells, and number of chloroplasts per bundle sheath cell than the cotyledons of a cotyledonous species S. paulsenii. During cotyledon development in both species, the number of chloroplasts per mesophyll cell remained unchanged, and developmental changes in the bundle sheath occurred at higher rate than in mesophyll cells. Thus, these two indices seem to be independent of the type of Kranz–anatomy. The presence of atriplicoid type cotyledons in the species with salsoloid structure of true leaves might indicate a close genetic relationship between these two patterns of Kranz-anatomy. 相似文献

Abstract The effect of sugars on growth of isolated cotyledons from germinating castor bean seeds. — The presence of sugars in the medium induces a number of biochemical and physiological changes in the cotyledons isolated from germinating castor bean seeds. In the present research, the extent and the mechanism of the effect of sugars on growth of the isolated cotyledons was investigated. The results achieved may be summarized as follows: -
Sucrose markedly stimulates the growth (as increase of fresh weight) of the isolated cotyledons; its action is already apparent when using a 10-2M concentration and reaches a maximum (stimulation by about 400%) for the concentration between 5.10-2M and 1,5.10-3M. The increase of sucrose induced growth is due in almost equal proportions to water uptake and to increase of dry weight. -
The difference (Δ P.O.) between the osmotic pressure (P.O.) of the cell sap and that of the external medium is markedly higher for the cotyledons treated with sucrose (7–8 atm.) than the Δ P.O. of cotyledons incubated in water. -
Analyses of cell contents in sugars show that sucrose is taken up by the cotyledon cells against a concentration gradient. The increase of the difference of osmotic pressure between cotyledon and the external medium is satisfactorily accounted for by this active accumulation of sugars. -
When mannitol is added to the incubating medium in addition to sucrose, the active uptake of sugar is not disturbed; but the effect of sucrose on growth decreases, and it completly disappears when mannitol concentration in the medium is such, to make the value of Δ P.O. for the cotyledons in sucrose plus mannitol equal to the Δ P.O. for the cotyledons incubated in water. -
Besides increasing the P.O. in the cotyledons, sucrose markedly accelerates the decrease of free aminoacid in the isolated cotyledons. -
Auxin (β—indolacetic acid) does not stimulate, or stimulates weakly, growth of the cotyledon incubated in water; some stimulation can be observed only when sucrose is present. Gibberellic acid stimulates growth (though to a much lower extent than sucrose) in the cotyledons in water, while its action does no longer appear when sugar is present. The decrease of free aminoacid together with other observations, indicates an effect of sucrose on protein metabolism; however, growth stimulation by sucrose seems to depend essentially on its active accumulation - against a concentration gradient - and thuson the increase of osmotic pressure. It is thus suggested that in these tissues osmotic pressure is the most important factor in limiting growth by cell extension. 相似文献

Floral induction in seedlings of Pharbitis nil Choisy cv. Violet, with one cotyledon removed, was manipulated by applying various photoperiodic treatments to the remaining cotyledon. Populations of polyadenylated RNA from treated cotyledons were examined to identify messages specifically involved in floral induction. The RNA was translated in vitro using a wheat-germ system, and the resulting translation products were analysed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Substantial qualitative and quantitative differences were found between mRNA from cotyledons of seedlings kept in continuous light (non-induced) and of seedlings given a 16-h dark period (induced). In contrast, inhibition of flowering with a night-break resulted only in one detectable, quantitative difference in mRNA.Abbreviations CL

Hairy nightshade ( Solanum sarrachoides) has the potential to be a model system for the study of plant-pathogen interactions, however, the availability of tissue
culture and transformation methods would strengthen its utility. For the development of tissue culture methods, we investigated,
explant type (cotyledons, hypocotyls, roots), hypocotyl explant origin, cotyledon orientation (abaxial vs. adaxial) in direct
contact with the medium, gelling agents (agar and agargel) and cytokinins (zeatin and 6-benzyladenine) at different concentrations.
Cotyledon explants resulted in the greatest biomass as compared to root and hypocotyl. As for hypocotyl explant origin, explants
proximal to the cotyledons had a significant effect on plant regeneration. However, cotyledon orientation and gelling agent
had no effect on plant regeneration. Medium supplemented with either zeatin or 6-benzyladenine at 1 mg L −1 resulted in significant shoot regeneration. Shoots rooted readily when cultured on a non-hormone based rooting medium. 相似文献

We examined whether developing cotyledons of soybean seed had photosynthetic activities. The cotyledons evolved oxygen under illumination and the activity was inhibited by 3-(3′,4′-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea. The rate of oxygen evolution decreased during the development of seeds; about 30 μ miol O 2 · mg chlorophyll -1 · hr -1 at the early developing stage and about 10 μ miol O 2-mg chlorophyll -1 · hr -1 at the late developing stage. The rate of oxygen uptake remained at an almost constant level of 40^mol 0 2-mg chlorophyll -1 · hr -1 throughout the development. Photosynthetic 14CO 2-fixation by the cotyledon was observed. Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase was immunochemically detected in the developing cotyledons. These results show that functional photosynthetic apparatus is present in the developing cotyledons of soybean seeds. 相似文献
