Frost hardiness of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaves was increased by high concentrations of NaCl in the hydroponic culture medium. Freezing damage was determined by measurement of slow chlorophyll fluorescence quenching after freezing of leaves. Both the osmolality of the leaf sap and forst hardiness of the leaves were linearly correlated with the salt concentration in the hydroponic culture medium. Freezing damage occurred, irrespective of the extent of frost hardening, when dehydration of cells during extracellular ice formation decreased cellular volume to approximately 14% of the volume of unfrozen cells. The resistance of isolated, washed thylakoids against mechanical and chemical damage by freezing was investigated. Chemical damage by freezing caused by salt accumulation was measured as release of chloroplast coupling factor (CF1; EC 3.6.1.3), and mechanical damage was measured as release of the lumenal protein plastocyanin from the membranes during an in-vitro freeze-thaw cycle. Isolated thylakoids from salt-treated frost-hardy spinach and those from plants hardened under natural conditions did not exhibit improved tolerance against chemical freezing stress exerted by high salt concentrations. They were, however, more hardy than thylakoids from unhardened control leaves against mechanical damage by freezing.Abbreviation CF1

Heat sensitivity of chloroplasts and leaves: Leakage of protons from thylakoids and reversible activation of cyclic electron transport 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18

In illuminated intact spinach chloroplasts, warming to and beyond 40 °C increased the proton permeability of thylakoids before linear electron transport through Photosystem II was inhibited. Simultaneously, antimycin A-sensitive cyclic electron transport around Photosystem II was activated with oxygen or CO2, but not with nitrite as electron acceptors. Between 40 to 42 °C, activation of cyclic electron transport balanced the loss of protons so that a sizeable transthylakoid proton gradient was maintained. When the temperature of darkened spinach leaves was slowly increased to 40°C, reduction of the quinone acceptor of Photosystem II, QA, increased particularly when respiratory CO2 production and autoxidation of plastoquinones was inhibited by decreasing the oxygen content of the atmosphere from 21 to 1%. Simultaneously, Photosystem II activity was partially lost. The enhanced dark QA reduction disappeared after the leaf temperature was decreased to 20 °C. No membrane energization was detected by light-scattering measurements during heating the leaf in the dark. In illuminated spinach leaves, light scattering and nonphotochemical quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence increased during warming to about 40 °C while Photosystem II activity was lost, suggesting extra energization of thylakoid membranes that is unrelated to Photosystem II functioning. After P700 was oxidized by far-red light, its reduction in the dark was biphasic. It was accelerated by factors of up to 10 (fast component) or even 25 (slow component) after short heat exposure of the leaves. Similar acceleration was observed at 20 °C when anaerobiosis or KCN were used to inhibit respiratory oxidation of reductants. Methyl viologen, which accepts electrons from reducing side of Photosystem II, completely abolished heat-induced acceleration of P700+ reduction after far-red light. The data show that increasing the temperature of isolated chloroplasts or intact spinach leaves to about 40 °C not only inhibits linear electron flow through Photosystem II but also activates Photosystem I-driven cyclic electron transport pathways capable of contributing to the transthylakoid proton gradient. Heterogeneity of the kinetics of P700+ reduction after far-red oxidation is discussed in terms of Photosystem I-dependent cyclic electron transport in stroma lamellae and grana margins. 相似文献

The annual changes in frost hardiness were studied for three Eucalyptus gunnii genotypes. Frost resistance evaluated on leaf discs by the electrolyte leakage method reached a maximum in the coldest period and a minimum in summer demonstrating winter frost hardening. Genotype 634 exhibited a higher intrinsic resistance than the other genotypes both in the hardened and in the non-hardened stages. Plants of this genotype were also frost acclimated in controlled conditions by a progressive decrease of culture temperature (25 to 0 °C) but the degree of hardening appeared to be lower in these conditions. The carbohydrate patterns in leaves varied with acclimation. In controlled conditions the leaves of genotype 634 exhibited a rise in sucrose, fructose and raffinose concentration up to a temperature of 10 to 7 °C which subsequently decreased. In natural conditions a comparison of the three genotypes allowed us to correlate the higher intrinsic resistance of genotype 634 to a higher soluble sugar content. During acclimation fructose and raffinose changes were also correlated to an increase in cold resistance even though the kinetics of these changes differed in controlled and natural conditions. The starch content was very low in the various genotypes in the different conditions but oligosaccharides such as stachyose and possibly verbascose were detected. The results point out the relationships occurring between increased frost resistance and changes in fructose and raffinose concentration in E. gunnii leaves. 相似文献

A 3 hours heating at 39 degrees C of 14-day old wheat plants increases the termotolerance of photosynthesis, and also the length and number of thylakoids in chloroplast in mature leaves. The acquired termotolerance disappears within 10 days. Simultaneously the intensity of photosynthesis and the length of thylakoids decrease. Reduction of photosynthesis ability and of thylakoid membranes occurs in the first leaves of non-hardened plants during 14-29 days after sowing. The intensity of photosynthesis in plants of both variants positively correlates with the length of grana membranes and with the total length of membranes of all thylakoids. Besides, a positive correlation was detected between the intensity of photosynthesis and the share of small (2-7 thylakoids) grana and the length of their membranes in non-hardened plants. The level of thermotolerance of photosynthesis in leaves in heat hardened plants correlates positively with the length of grana membranes and with the total length of all thylakoid membranes and the share of small grana. 相似文献

Membrane lipids in heat injury of spinach chloroplasts 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
KURT A. SANTARIUS 《Physiologia plantarum》1980,49(1):1-6
Heat treatment of intact leaves and of isolated thylakoid membranes from spinach (Spinacia oleracea L. cvs. Monatol and Montako) caused inactivation of photochemical processes such as electron transport through photosystem II and photophos-phorylation. Membrane lipid analysis demonstrated that heat-induced damage to thylakoids is not caused by chemical alterations in the lipids such as oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids, or release of free fatty acids due to hydrolysis of lipids. Partial extraction of lipids from isolated chloroplast membranes before and after thermal inactivation do not point to drastic changes in the binding relations of the lipids within the membranes. However, it cannot be excluded that during high temperature treatment changes in lipid-lipid interactions and/or delocalization of specific lipids within the thylakoids might be responsible for the disorganization of the functional integrity of the membranes. Since thermostability of chloroplast membranes is decreased when they are exposed to free unsaturated fatty acids, small amounts of membrane lipids which become hydrolyzed during extended heat treatment may partly contribute to primary heat damage. 相似文献

A galactolipid lipase from primary bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) leaves has been used to partially deplete spinach chloroplast inner membranes of their galactolipids. Chloroplasts treated with the lipase in the absence of bovine serum albumin lost 91% of their monogalactosyl diglyceride, 83% of their digalactosyl diglyceride, all of their phosphatidyl choline, but none of their sulfolipid. Electron microscopy of this sections revealed that the treated chloroplasts were greatly enlarged and lacked membrane stacking. Linolenic acid had similar effects on the structure of the chloroplasts. Chlorophyll, carotenoids, and coupling factor 1 remained bound to the treated membranes. 相似文献

Thylakoids isolated from spinach leaves ( Spinacia oleracea L. cvs. Monatol and Montako) were exposed to supraoptimal temperatures that inactivated their photochemical reactions. Membrane injury was accompanied by release of a small amount of membrane proteins. When sucrose was present during high-temperature treatment, thylakoids were partially protected and release of membrane proteins was less pronounced than in the absence of sugar. From thylakoids, which were isolated from heat-damaged spinach leaves, less protein was released when heated again after the isolation procedure, indicating that protein release also takes place during heat inactivation in vivo . Sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electropherograms of thylakoids demonstrated that heat inactivation of the lamellae was not accompanied by significant changes in the pattern of the proteins, which remained in the membranes. The same was found when thylakoids were solubilized with Triton X-100 before and after heat damage. It is suggested that the protein release that occurs during heat treatment is a consequence of irreversible alterations in the membrane structure; these changes may be responsible for thermal damage of chloroplast membranes. 相似文献

In the leaves of rye seedlings (Secale cereale L.) grown at an elevated temperature of 32°C the formation of plastidic 70S ribosomes is specifically prevented. The resulting plastid ribosome-deficient leaves, which are chlorotic in light, represent a system for the identification of translation products of the 80S ribosomes among the chloroplastic proteins. Searching for the primary heat-sensitive event causing the 70S ribosome-deficiency, the thermostability of the chloroplastic capacity for RNA synthesis was investigated. The RNA polymerase activity of isolated normal chloroplasts from 22°-grown rye leaves was not inactivated in vitro at temperatures between 30° and 40°C. The ribosome-deficient plastids purified from bleached 32°-grown leaf parts contained significant RNA polymerase activity which was, however, lower than in functional chloroplasts. After application of [3H]uridine to intact leaf tissues [3H]uridine incorporation was found in ribosome-deficient plastids of 32°C-grown leaves. The amount of incorporation was similar to that in the control chloroplasts from 22°C-grown leaves. According to these results, it is unlikely that the non-permissive temperature (32°C) causes a general inactivation of the chloroplastic RNA synthesis in rye leaves. 相似文献

After a 6 min exposure of isolated thylakoids to 43 °C, the extent of phosphorylation of light-harvesting complex of photosystem 2 (LHC2) was higher than in control thylakoids kept at 25 °C. Similarly, the exposure of intact spinach plants to 43 °C in dark for 11 h induced higher extent of thylakoid LHC2 phosphorylation than in control plants kept at 25 °C. The induced ability of LHC2 for enhanced phosphorylation may enable better energy distribution in favour of photosystem 1. 相似文献

Spinach plants (Spinacia oleracea L.) were frost-hardened by cold-acclimation to 1° C or kept in an unhardy state at 20°/14° C in phytotrons. Detached leaves were exposed to temperatures below 0°C. Rates of photosynthetic CO2 uptake by the leaves, recorded after frost treatment, served as a measure of freezing injury. Thylakoid membranes were isolated from frost-injured leaves and their photosynthetic activities tested. Ice formation occurred at about-4° to-5° C, both in unhardened and cold-acclimated leaves. After thawing, unhardened leaves appeared severely damaged when they had been exposed to-5° to-8° C. Acclimated leaves were damaged by freezing at temperatures between-10° to-14° C. The pattern of freezing damage was complex and appeared to be identical in hardened and unhardened leaves: 1. Inactivation of photosynthesis and respiration of the leaves occurred almost simultaneously. 2. When the leaves were partly damaged, the rates of photosynthetic electron transport and noncyclic photophosphorylation and the extent of light-induced H+ uptake by the isolated thylakoids were lowered at about the same degree. The dark decay of the proton gradient was, however, not stimulated, indicating that the permeability of the membrane to-ward protons and metal cations had not increased. 3. As shown by partial reactions of the electron transport system, freezing of leaves predominantly inhibited the oxygen evolution, but photosystem II and photosystem I-dependent electron transport were also impaired. 4. Damage of the chloroplast envelope was indicated by a decline in the percentage of intact chloroplasts found in preparations from injured leaves. The results are discussed in relation to earlier studies on freezing damage of thylakoid membranes occurring in vitro.Abbreviations Chl

Resistance of cold-hardened winter rye leaves (Secale cereale L.) to photo-oxidative stress 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
Catalase and photosystem II (PSII) were strongly inactivated during exposure to 4 °C and moderate light in 22 °C-grown non-hardened leaves (NHL) of winter rye (Secale cereale L.), but highly resistant to photo-inactivation at low temperature in 4 °C-grown cold-hardened leaves (CHL). Resistance of CHL to chilling-induced photo-inactivation of catalase and PSII depended partially on more efficient de novo synthesis at 4 °C and partially on improved protection. Lower rates of chloroplast-mediated inactivation of catalase in vitro indicated that less reactive oxygen was released by chloroplasts from CHL than by chloroplasts from NHL. The contents of xanthophyll cycle carotenoids, α-tocopherol, ascorbate, glutathione, the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione reductase, and the tolerance against paraquat-induced photo-oxidative damage were greatly increased in CHL, relative to NHL. Zeaxanthin-related thermal energy dissipation was only of minor importance for paraquat-tolerance and protection of catalase in CHL. When CHL were transferred to a higher temperature of 22 °C the increased resistance to photo-inactivation of catalase and PSII and the increased paraquat-tolerance were largely lost within 3 d, whereas most non-enzymic and enzymic antioxidants retained higher levels than in NHL. The decline of resistance to photodamage during dehardening was not related to concomitant changes of antioxidants or antioxidative enzymes. 相似文献

Leaf discs of four dicotyledonous species, when incubated at temperatures of 4 to 18°C (optimum at 12°C) for 30 or 60 minutes, responded by accumulations of membranes in the chloroplast stroma in the space between the inner membrane of the envelope and the thylakoids. The accumulated membranes, here referred to as the low temperature compartment, were frequently continuous with the envelope membrane and exhibited kinetics of formation consistent with a derivation from the envelope. Results were similar for expanding leaves of garden pea (Pisum sativum), soybean (Glycine max), spinach (Spinacia oleracea), and tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). We suggest that the stromal low temperature compartment may be analogous to the compartment induced to form between the transitional endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus at low temperatures. The findings provide evidence for the possibility of a vesicular transfer of membrane constituents between the inner membrane of the chloroplast envelope and the thylakoids of mature chloroplasts in expanding leaves. 相似文献

Proteins from frost-hardy leaves protect thylakoids against mechanical freeze-thaw damage in vitro 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We have isolated protein fractions from cold-acclimated, frost-hardy cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.) and spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaves which protect isolated thylakoids from non-hardy spinach against mechanical membrane rupture during an in-vitro freeze-thaw cycle. No protective activity was found in similar preparations from non-hardy leaves. The proteins protected the membranes from damage by reducing their solute permeability during freezing and by increasing their expandability during thawing. The proteins act by increasing the resistance of the membranes against the osmotic stress to which they are exposed during a freeze-thaw cycle. In the absence of cryoprotectants this stress results in membrane rupture.This investigation was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsge-meinschaft. 相似文献

The heat-sensitivity of photosynthetic oxygen evolution of thylakoids isolated from spinach increases by increasing the pH above neutral value. The temperature for inactivation (transition temperature) is lowered from about 45° C (pH 6.0–7.4) to 33°C (pH 8.5). Similar results are obtained with intact chloroplasts. At pH 7.0 the transition temperature of washed thylakoids decreases by lowering the salt concentration below 20 mM with monovalent cations (Li+, Na+, K+) and below 3–4 mM with divalent cations (Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+). Illumination decreases the heat-sensitivity of oxygen evolution in intact chloroplasts, but even increases the heat-sensitivity in uncoupled chloroplasts. In intact chloroplasts the transition temperature of the heat-induced rise in chlorophyll fluorescence yield (Fo; see Schreiber and Armond 1978) decreases from 44° C to 38° C when the pH of the suspending medium is increased from 6.5 to 8.5. At 20° C, Fo is almost insensitive to pH (6.0–8.5). At 40° C, however, Fo is constant between 6.0 and 7.0, but strongly increases by increasing the pH above neutral value. The results are discussed in terms of a close relation between electrostatic forces at the thylakoid membrane and thermal sensitivity of photosynthetic apparatus. It is suggested that the heat-sensitivity of the photosystem II complex partially depends on the ionization state of fixed groups having alkaline pK. The packed volume of thylakoids suspended in a low salt medium increases when the temperature is increased above 30° C (pH 7.0) and above 20° C (pH 8.0), respectively. This result suggests a heat-induced increase in surface charge density of the thylakoid membrane.Abbreviations HEPES

Heating of the leaves of 15-day-old wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants at 42°C in the light (370 W/m2 PAR) suppressed their ability to fix CO2 twice stronger than heating in darkness. Heat hardening (3 h at 38–39°C) improved the tolerance of photosynthesis to combined action of high light and temperature but did not affect the tolerance to photoinhibition at 30°C. Hardening did not induce changes in the levels of photosynthetic pigments and their ratios. De-epoxidation of violaxanthin turned out to be more tolerant to photoinhibition at 42°C than CO2 fixation. Protective effect of hardening was not related to the accumulation of zeaxanthin and activation of the xanthophyll cycle. Hardening protected the most sensitive population of chloroplasts against heat-induced photodamage and simultaneously increased the number and length of thylakoids. An increase in the volume of the thylakoid system was also induced by heating at 42°C and exposure to high light at 30°C. The formation of additional thylakoids and grana of shade type was not associated with improved tolerance of photosynthesis to heat and light stresses. 相似文献

Typical chestnut thylakoid extracts isolated by mechanical disruption of leaf tissues had an equivalent of 0.28 kg m−3 chlorophyll (Chl) which is six times less than in thylakoids obtained from spinach, although Chl content in leaves was only half as small. According to optical microscopy, the vesicles showed a good integrity, exhibiting at 21 °C a high capacity of photon-induced potential membrane generation, which was demonstrated by the almost full 9-amino-6-chloro-2-methoxyacridine fluorescence quenching in a hyper-saline medium containing 150 mM KCl and having osmotic potential of −1.5 MPa. The half-time of the thylakoid potential generation was 11.7 s with the time of dissipation around 8.9 s. In such conditions, spinach thylakoids showed an increased swelling and also differences in the half-time generation which was almost four times faster than was observed in chestnut. However, when spinach thylakoids were incubated in a typical hypo-saline medium without KCl with osmotic potential −0.8 MPa, no additional swelling was observed. Consequently the half-time of potential dissipation was 35 s. Studies with nigericin suggested a chestnut thylakoid ΔpH significantly smaller than that observed in spinach, which was confirmed by the measurements of the ATP driven pumping activity. 相似文献

To determine the sites of synthesis of chloroplast-envelope proteins, we have analysed several enzyme and translocator functions ascribed to the envelope membranes, and investigated the envelope polypeptide composition of plastids isolated from 70S ribosome-deficient leaves of rye (Secale cereale L.) generated by growing the plants at a temperature of 32°C. Since the ribosomedeficient plastids are also achlorophyllous in light-grown leaves, not only were chloroplasts from mature, green leaves used for comparison, but also those from yellowing, aged leaves as well as etioplasts from dark-grown leaves raised at a temperature of 22° C. A majority of the plastidenvelope polypeptides appeared to be of cytoplasmic origin. The envelopes of ribosome-deficient plastids possessed ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) activity; this was not, however, dependent on divalent cations, in contrast to the Mn2+- or Mg2+-dependent ATPase which is associated with chloroplast envelopes. Adenylate kinase (EC 2.7.4.3) was present in the stromal fraction of ribosome-deficient plastids and the stromal form of this enzyme is, therefore, of cytoplasmic origin. In contrast to previous findings, adenylate kinase was not, however, specifically associated with the chloroplast-envelope membranes, either in rye or in spinach. Measurements of the uptake of l-[14C]-malate into ribosome-deficient plastids indicated the presence and cytoplasmic origin of the dicarboxylate translocator. Malate uptake into rye etioplasts was, however, low. The phosphate translocator was assayed by the uptake of 3-phospho-[14C]glycerate. While rapid 3-phosphoglycerate uptake was observed for rye chloroplasts and etioplasts, it was hardly detectable for ribosome-deficient, plastids and rather low for chloroplasts from aged leaves. A polypeptide of M
r approx. 30000 ascribed to the phosphate translocator was greatly reduced in the envelope patterns of ribosome-deficient plastids and of chloroplasts from aged leaves. 相似文献

Bean leaves grown under periodic illumination (56 cycles of 2 min light and 98 min darkness) were subsequently exposed to continuous illumination, and in connection with granum formation and accumulation of the light-harvesting pigment-protein complex thermoluminescence and light-induced shrinkage of thylakoid membranes were studied. Juvenile chloroplasts with large double sheets of thylakoids obtained under periodic light exhibited low temperature spectra of polarized fluorescence yielding fluorescence polarization (FP) values < 1 at 695 nm, characteristic for pheophytin emission. In the course of maturation under continuous light when normal grana appeared and the chlorophyll a/b light-harvesting photosystem II complex was incorporated into the membrane, at 695 nm the relative intensity of fluorescence dropped and FP changed to a value of > 1, suggesting an overlap between the emission of pheophytin and that of the chlorophyll a/b light-harvesting photosystem II complex. Thermoluminescence glow curves recorded with juvenile thylakoids displayed a relatively high proportion of emission at low temperatures (around -10°C) while with mature chloroplasts, more thermoluminescence originated from energetically deeper traps (discharged around 28°C). This means that during thylakoid development the capacity of the membrane to stabilize the separated charges increases, which might be favourable for the ultimate conservation of energy. The more extensive energization of mature thylakoids was also indicated by a light-induced decrease in the thickness of the membranes upon illumination; a change which could not be detected in juvenile thylakoids.Abbreviations EDTA
