丝氨酸内肽酶在黄瓜叶片衰老中的作用

采用丝氨酸内肽酶抑制剂和植物生长调节剂处理离体黄瓜叶片,研究了黄瓜叶片暗诱导衰老过程中丝氨酸内肽酶的作用。结果表明,6-BA50μmol／L与丝氨酸内肽酶抑制剂AEBSF能抑制叶片内肽酶活性的升高,延缓蛋白质降解,而ABA50μmol/L则促进了内肽酶活性的升高：其作用效果与AEBSF相反。活性电泳结果显示,黄瓜叶片中检测到6条内肽酶同工酶,其中4条（CEP2、3、4、6）为丝氨酸类型内肽酶,而ABA使丝氨酸内肽酶CEP2、3、4、6的活性明显增强,提示了丝氨酸类型内肽酶在黄瓜叶片衰老过程中具有重要作用。     

小麦叶片暗诱导衰老期间内肽酶的特性

The characterization of senescence-associated endopeptidase (EP) isoenzymes in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. var. Yangmai 158) leaves during dark-induced senescence was performed. It was found that there was much higher endoproteolytic activity in dark-induced wheat leaves than in control. Six endopeptidase isoenzymes (EP1-EP6) were identified by natural gradient杙olyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) co-polymerized gelatin in the gel, five of which (EP1, EP2, EP4, EP5 and EP6) were only detected in senescing leaves. Treatment with 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) delayed the expression of these EP isoenzymes and abscisic acid (ABA) accelerated it. The activity of EP3 could be detected at a wider range of pH and temperature levels while EP4, EP5 and EP 6 could be only detected at pH 4-5 and 30 45 ℃, EP1 and EP2 at pH 3 5 and 30 ℃ 45 ℃. All of the EP isoenzymes showed high thermal stability, especially EP3, EP5 and EP6 which still had activities even by incubation at 55 ℃ for 1 h. By using different class-specific inhibitors, EP1 and EP2 were characterized as metal-dependent cysteine-proteases, EP4 as a serine-protease.

细胞分裂素在维持紫萍叶状体生命中的重要作用

将无根和囊的紫萍(Spirodela polyrrhiza)P143品系半叶状体分别放在含有和不含6-苄基嘌呤的培养液上于长日照条件下培养。在不含6-BA的培养液上培养4d以后,半叶状体开始失绿,光合能力降低;第12天时,半叶状体已接近死亡。但是,培养在含有6-BA的培养液上的半叶状体干重、叶绿素和可溶性蛋白质含量、希尔反应活力、核酮糖-1,5-二磷酸羧化酶/加氧酶的小亚基和其编码基因rbcS mRNA水平显著增加。这些6-BA处理过的半叶状体平均寿命可达80d,几乎等同于完整植物体上叶状体的寿命,因此提出细胞分裂素对于紫萍叶状体生物学功能的维持是必需的。

Abscisic-acid-induced turion formation in Spirodela polyrrhiza L III. Specific changes in protein synthesis and translatable RNA during turion development

Abstract The developmental process leading to the formation of the abscisic acid (ABA) induced turion of Spirodela polyrrhiza was accompanied by a repression of nucleic acid and protein synthesis. DNA synthesis in the developing lurion (induced by 10⁻⁴mol m⁻³ ABA) was inhibited within 3h of ABA addition, followed by a repression of protein synthesis after 24 h, while RNA synthesis was not inhibited until 3 d. The inhibitory effect of ABA on protein synthesis was found to be selective and the synthesis of several novel proteins appeared to be induced. These effects were specific to ABA-sensitive tissue. The relationship between the changes in the protein and mRNA profiles during the development of the turion was investigated. The rapid general inhibition of protein synthesis at early stages of lurion formation could not be accounted for by the level of translatable mRNA, indicating an effect of ABA at the translational level. The specific alteration to the pattern of in vivo labelled proteins could have resulted, however, from control of the level of specific mRNAs for those particular proteins. Only after 3 d in ABA, when the developing primordium is committed to the turion developmental pathway, is there a total inhibition in the production of mRNA leading to the shutdown of all primary processes and the onset of the irreversible events leading to the dormant state.     

Biodegradation of direct blue 129 diazo dye by Spirodela polyrrhiza: An artificial neural networks modeling

Phytoremediation potential of the aquatic plant Spirodela polyrrhiza was examined for direct blue 129 (DB129) azo dye. The dye removal efficiency was optimized under the variable conditions of the operational parameters including removal time, initial dye concentration, pH, temperature and amount of plant. The study reflected the significantly enhanced dye removal efficiency of S. polyrrhiza by increasing the temperature, initial dye concentration and amount of plant. Intriguingly, artificial neural network (ANN) predicted the removal time as the most dominant parameter on DB129 removal efficiency. Furthermore, the effect of dye treatment on some physiologic indices of S. polyrrhiza including growth rate, photosynthetic pigments content, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzymes were studied. The results revealed a reduction in photosynthetic pigments content and in multiplication of fronds after exposure to dye solution. In contrast, malondialdehyde content as well as catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) activities significantly increased that was probably due to the ability of plant to overcome oxidative stress. As a result of DB129 biodegradation, a number of intermediate compounds were identified by gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy (GC–MS) analysis. Accordingly, the probable degradation pathway of DB129 in S. polyrrhiza was postulated.     

Endopeptidase Isoenzyme Characteristics in Cucumis sativus Leaves During Dark-induced Senescence

The changes and characteristics of endopeptidase （EP） isoenzymes in cucumber （Cucumis sativus L.） leaves during dark-induced senescence were investigated by activity staining after gradient-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis （G-PAGE） containing co-polymerized gelatin as substrate. The results showed that both the chlorophyll and the protein contents of leaves were decreased, and the protein degradation was correlated with the increase of proteolytic activity during the course of leaf senescence. Meanwhile, nine cucumber endopeptidases isoenzymes （CEP） with 140, 120, 106, 94, 76, 55, 46, 39 and 35 kDa molecular weights were detected. Four of these, CEP2, 3, 4 and CEP9 appeared all the time, but the changes of the activity were different during incubation. Another four CEPs （CEP5, 6, 7 and CEP8） whose activities increased with dark-induced time were only detected in senescent leaves. Furthermore, the biochemical properties of these nine CEP were also characterized. All the CEPs had high activities from 35 ℃ to 45 ℃, and the optimum temperature was found to be 40 ℃. However, the activities of CEPs were not detected below 25 ℃ or over 60 ℃. The activity bands appeared at a wide range of pH from 5.0 to 9.0, but the optimum pH was found at 7.0. No CEPs were detected at pH 4 or pH 10. By inhibition analysis we concluded that CEP2, 3, 4 and CEP9 were serine endopeptidases and CEP6 was a kind of cysteine protease. It is suggested that serine endopeptidases might play a major role in cucumber leaf senescence, and for the first time, six senescencerelated endopeptidases （CEP1, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9） were found in cucumber leaves.     

Abscisic-acid-induced turion formation in Spirodela polyrrhiza L. II. Ultrastructure of the turion; a stereological analysis

Abstract The ultrastructural features of the abscisic-acid-induced turion of Spirodela polyrrhiza are briefly described and a comparison between turion and vegetative frond tissue was made by stereological analysis. The turion is characterized by its small size, reniform shape, and dark-brown coloration; the mesophyll is undifferentiated and totally lacking the substantial acrenchyma development found in the vegetative frond. The turion cells have a smaller vacuole and a denser cytoplasm than the cells of the vegetative frond. Stereological analysis showed that the tissues differed quantitatively only in three main respects: air space formation, vacuolation, and starch and cell wall material accumulation. During development, it is suggested that the cells of the turion, while reaching the same final size as the vegetative frond cells, accumulate numerous starch grains, thick cell walls, and large deposits of tannins and anthocyanin pigment at the expense of the vacuolar expansion characteristic of the normal maturity programme. Certain features of the turion ultrastructure indicate a differential cell sensitivity to ABA.     

Abscisic-acid-induced turion formation in Spirodela polyrrhiza L. IV. Comparative ion flux characteristics of the turion and the vegetative frond and the effect of ABA during early turion development

Abstract Using the method of compartmental analysis, the ion fluxes and compartment concentrations of Ca²⁺, K⁺ and Cl^- have been compared in the untreated vegetative frond and the abscisic acid (ABA) induced turion of Spirodela polyrrhiza. The ABA-induced turion is characterized by reduced Ca²⁺ exchange across the tonoplast and low vacuolar Ca²⁺ concentration relative to the vegetative frond. In addition the turion exhibits a higher plasmalemma flux with a correspondingly high Ca²⁺ concentration in the cytoplasm. The concentration of K⁺ and Cl^- is much lower in the cytoplasm of the ABA-induced turion than in the vegetative frond with the influx/efflux ratio at both the plasmalemma and the tonoplast being less than 1, a finding exhibited also in dormant storage tissue. Treatment of vegetative fronds with ABA for 18 h resulted in a reduced K⁺ plasmalemma efflux relative to untreated vegetative fronds and a concomitant increase in the cytoplasmic concentration. There was no rapid effect of ABA on Ca²⁺, K⁺ or Cl^- fluxes through either membrane. These results are consistent with the notion that drastic changes in ion fluxes and concentrations in the turion are a secondary consequence of ABA-induced development, possibly due to prior regulation by ABA of enzymes inherent to processes involved in membrane transport.
