Some Biochemical Changes Associated with Paclobutrazol-Induced Adventitious Root Formation on Bean Hypocotyl Cuttings 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Phaseolus vulgaris hypocotyl cuttings were placed in solutionscontaining either 0 (controls) or 43 µM paclobutrazolfor 24 h after which they were placed in peat perlitefor 8 d. Paclobutrazol more than doubled the number of rootsformed on the cuttings but did not affect individual root length.Compared with controls, treated cuttings exhibited increasedactivities of catalase, peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, malatedehydrogenase, protease and RNase in the base of the cuttings.These enhanced enzyme activities were particularly evident between3 and 5 d after excision. The largest paclobutrazol-inducedpromotion of enzyme activity occurred with malate dehydrogenasewhich was increased more than 2-fold compared with the controls.In contrast, paclobutrazol reduced amylase activity in comparisonto controls, suggesting that this enzyme may not be directlyrelated to root formation. These data indicate that the enhancementof adventitious root formation by paclobutrazol is accompaniedby changes in the activities of a number of enzymes which havepreviously been postulated to be involved in rooting. However,these changes in activity are generally greatest later in therooting period, suggesting that they may be involved in thedevelopment rather than the initiation of roots.

Griselinia littoralis roots quickly and vigorously from cuttingsof seedlings and mature plants and also forms roots on detachedleaves. Cuttings root in the dark but leaves must be present.In contrast G. lucida roots vigorously only from cuttings takenfrom seedlings. Light is essential for root formation on oldermaterial. Detached leaves will not root. Although callus formationat the cut base commonly occurs in both species it is not directlyassociated with root formation.

Sucrose was supplied to stock plants of Pisum sativum L. cv. Alaska grown at different levels of irradiance. There was no significant effect on the rooting of the cuttings by sucrose supply to intact plants regardless of the irradiance. However, an increase in the number of roots per cutting was obtained at increasing concentrations of sucrose when the stock plants had been grown at 4 W m?2 and their cotyledons had been removed two days before the cuttings were excised. Cotyledons were removed from stock plants at different times before the excision of cuttings with the intent to regulate the endogenous supply of carbohydrate. The number of roots per cutting was reduced by removal of the cotyledons and this reduction was correlated to the number of days the stock plants had grown without cotyledons as well as to the irradiance pre-treatment. A greater reduction occurred in cuttings from plants grown under 4 W m?2 than from those grown under 38 W m?2. The growth of the stock plants and the subsequent stem growth of the cuttings was determined by the irradiance to the stock plants and by the time of removal of the cotyledons. Exogenous supply of sucrose had no effect on the stem growth of the cuttings. 相似文献

Endopeptidase (azocaseolytic enzyme) and carboxypeptidase activitiesin cotyledons of germinating Vigna mungo seeds increased until3 days after the onset of imbibition and decreased thereafter.In detached and incubated cotyledons, the endopeptidase activityincreased only a little while the carboxypeptidase activitycontinued increasing even after 3 days of incubation. The activitiesof leucine-aminopeptidase and alanine-aminopeptidase, exceptfor that of one leucine-aminopeptidase isoenzyme relativelyabundantly present in unimbibed dry cotyledons, increased slightlyon the first day and declined during germination. In detachedcotyledons, the activities maintained their initial levels throughoutthe incubation period. When cotyledons were detached from germinatingseedlings on days 2 and 4 then incubated, the endopeptidaseactivity started to decrease just after removal of the axisbut the carboxypeptidase activity increased more markedly thanwhen the axis remained attached. Exogenously supplied GA3, kinetin,IAA, or their combinations, showed no significant effect onthe developmental patterns of the endopeptidase and carboxypeptidaseactivities in cotyledons. These results are discussed in relationto the role of the axis in controlling peptidase formation incotyledons of germinating V. mungo seeds.

Three-day-old light-grown sunflower seedlings were de-rootedand incubated in nutrient solutions that either contained orlacked boric acid (B). In the absence of B, in the majorityof the seedlings, no adventitious roots were formed. The micronutrientB caused the development of numerous roots in the lower partof the hypocotyl. The effect of B occurred without the supplyof any phytohormones. A dose-response curve of B-induced rootingyielded an optimum concentration of 0.1 mM boric acid. Histologicalstudies revealed that cell divisions occurred in the controlbut no root primordia developed. In cuttings that were incubatedin B (0.1 m M) root primordia were observed that rapidly developedinto well-differentiated adventitious roots. Sunflower cuttingsthat were planted with their cut end in vermiculite that wasmoistened with nutrient solutions without B degenerated afterseveral weeks. In the presence of B the cuttings formed numerousadventitious roots that entirely replaced the tap root systemof intact seedlings. The rooted cuttings developed into sturdyadult sunflower plants. Our results are discussed with respectto the possible role of B in the evolution of vascular fromprevascular plants.Copyright 1999 Annals of Botany Company Adventitious roots, boron, cuttings, organogenesis, sunflower seedlings. 相似文献

Removal of the main root system of sunflower ( Helianthus annuus ) initiates adventitious root development on the lower portion of the hypocotyl. The first cytological changes (enlarged nuclei in the interfascicular parenchymatous cells adjacent to the phloem and some cell divisions) are observed 24 h after root excision. On the basis of experiments in which (a) roots, apical buds and various amounts of cotyledonary tissue were removed, (b) cuttings were subjected to various light regimes, (c) benzyladenine oas applied to cotyledons to create an artificial sink, it was concluded that the roots normally produce factors inhibiting to adventitious rooting and might be a sink for stimulatory substances produced in the shoots. The cotyledons seem to be the major source of these stimulators. Application of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of cotyledons and hypocotyls to cuttings promoted adventitious rooting. 相似文献

Compactin (ML-236B), a specific inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutarylCoA reductase, inhibited the elongation of roots and hypocotylsof Medicago sativa seedlings when it was applied to the roots.Addition of mevalonic acid, the direct product of the enzyme,together with compactin relieved the growth inhibition of roots. The contents and compositions of sterols were studied in threeparts of M. sativa seedlingsroots, hypocotyls and cotyledons.Compactin (20 µM) decreased the sterol contents of rootsand hypocotyls by about a half but did not affect that of cotyledons.On the other hand, mevalonic acid (2 mM) increased the sterolcontent of roots more than threefold the nontreated controllevel but not the contents of hypocotyls and cotyledons. Mevalonicacid added in combination with compactin had a similar effecton the sterol content of roots as when it was added alone. The major sterol in all three parts was stigmasterol whetheror not compactin or mevalonic acid was present. However, thevariation of the sterol composition in the roots was distinct;mevalonic acid-treated roots markedly accumulated 7-sitosterol,24-methylenecycloartanol and squalene.

Pulse-chase experiments indicated that the higher levels ofa-amylase in detached and incubated cotyledons of Vigna mungothan those in cotyledons attached to the embryonic axis weredue to both faster synthesis and slower degradation of the enzymein the detached cotyledons than in the attached cotyledons.Levels of a-amylase in the cotyledons were examined in termsof possible effects of end-products and the effects of exogenouslyapplied plant hormones and growth regulators. Levels of a-amylaseactivity and content were reduced by high concentrations ofglucose and sucrose, and it is suggested that this effect wascaused mostly by osmotic stress and partly by end-product repression.The level of a-amylase was nearly twice that in controls after1 to 10µM GA3 had been applied to the cotyledons. In addition,0.1 mM kinetin, 0.1 mM 2,4-D and 0.1 to 0.S mM naphthaleneaceticacid also increased the level by 34% to 66% as compared to thecontrol. ABA and uniconazole both prevented the synthesis ofa-amylase. (Received July 4, 1994; Accepted November 14, 1994) 相似文献

This paper has investigated the regulation of the activitiesof glutamine synthetase (GS) and NADH-dependent glutamate synthase(NADH-GOGAT) of Phaseolus vulgaris in relation to the nitrogensupply. The activity of NADH-GOGAT II, which is the most abundantisoenzyme of glutamate synthase in root nodules of P. vulgaris,was either absent or barely detectable in other organs of thisspecies. Moreover, its activity in roots could not be inducedby ammonium. In nodules NADH-GOGAT II activity was detectedin nodules grown under an atmosphere of 80% argon: 20% oxygenand in nodules formed with a Fix- Rhizobium mutant. However,in these non-fixing nodules the activity of this isoenzyme attainedless than 15% of the activity in fixing nodules and switchingargon/oxygen grown nodules to nitrogen/oxygen led to an increasein this isoenzyme within 24 h. This effect could not be mimickedby the addition of exogenous ammonium. Ammonium addition, however,promoted nodule senescence and also led to a decrease in theactivities of nitrogenase and plant GS. In particular, the nodule-enhancedGS isoenzyme but not the GSß isoenzyme was affectedby these changes and in a manner similar to the changes in NADH-GOGATII. The activity of the NADH-GOGAT I isoenzyme was detectablein other organs of P. vulgaris and in nodules its activity alsoshowed some changes in response to the rate of dinitrogen fixation.

Species of the genus Veronica differ in habitat preferences,growth form and in adventitious root production. The annualspecies rarely or never produce adventitious roots in intactplants in the field but some, for example V. persica and V.arvensis will root vigorously from single node stem segmentsin culture. Others, such as V. agrestis require the presenceof IAA for substantial levels of root formation to occur incultured stem segments. Veronica hederifolia cuttings rarelyproduce roots. Stem cuttings of the perennial species, in general,rooted more vigorously than those of annual plants. Both V.fihiformis and V. serpyllifolia root very strongly. The position of root production from the stem cuttings differedfrom species to species. Roots arose either from the node, theregion of the base or at some intermediate point. Veronica arvensis,V. chamaedrys and V. persica rooted mainly from the basal regionwhereas V. filiformis rooted mainly from the node. Veronicaserpyllifolia cuttings rooted at both of these locations. Veronica filiformis, a perennial species that is infertile inBritain, produces root primordia in intact plants at nodes whichare close to the shoot apex. Thus, even very young stem segmentshave preformed root primordia. For this reason,detached stem segments of V. filiformis root very rapidly andthis probably has been of great significance in its successfulinvasion and spread in lawns and short turf areas.

Slightly squashed and transversely sectioned sprouts (seedlingroot + hypocotyl to cotyledons) of Pisum arvense, Ornithopussativus and Helianthus annuus were examined. The presence ofstomata is described on seedling roots, including the root hairzone, in Pisum and Ornithopus and in the root hair zone of thehypocotyl of Helianthus. The stomata found in the root hairzones are almost always open, usually without chloroplasts andare not sensitive to the action of abscisic acid (ABA). TheABA sensitivity of the stomata appears first above the roothair zone and increases gradually towards the cotyledons. Thepossible role of stomata in the root hair zone is discussed.

Stimulation of Adventitious Rooting in Cuttings of Four Herbaceous Species by Piperazine 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Piperazine, a chemical used as buffer component, greatly promotedadventitious root formation in cuttings of sunflower (Helianthusannuus L.), pea (Pisum sativum L.), mung bean (Vigna radiataL.) and to a lesser extent in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) seedlings.Piperazine was more effective in acidic pH. The studies withpiperazine analogues showed that any substantial modificationof the structure caused the chemical to be less effective, oreven inhibitory. Histological studies in sunflower hypocotylsdemonstrated that piperazine did not alter the timing of theinitial cell division. In the presence of piperazine, sunflowerhypocotyls failed to develop primary phloem fibres. Piperazineat the concentrations that promote rooting did not kill or damagethe tissue at the base of the hypocotyl. Compared to controls,piperazine treatment did not alter the proportion of primordiathat eventually developed into actively elongating roots. Sixdays after treatment 45% of the control roots in the basal sectionwere actively growing, compared to 51% in the piperazine. Therewas little evidence suggesting that the piperazine-induced promotionof rooting was caused by the removal of basal dominance in whichpiperazine killed the basal part of hypocotyl.Copyright 1995,1999 Academic Press Helianthus annuus, Phaseolus vulgaris, Pisum sativum, Vigna radiata, adventitious roots, mung bean, pea, piperazine, sunflower 相似文献

When etiolated seedlings of squash (Cucurbita maxima Duch. cv.Houkou-aokawaamaguri) were exposed to light, their cotyledonsbegan to accumulate chlorophyll at a low rate for the firsthour but at a high rate therafter. After 0, 1 and 2 h of illumination,cytokinin levels in cotyledons, hypocotyls and roots were analyzedby ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and GC-SIM (gaschromatography-selected ion monitoring). Cytokinin levels measuredby ELISA were about 10 times higher than those measured by GC-SIM,suggesting that ELISA was not suitable for the measurementsof cytokinin levels in the extracts from these tissues. Cytokininsfound by GC-SIM were t-RZ (t-ribosyl zeatin), c-RZ, t-Z (t-zeatin),c-Z, RiP (ribosyl isopentenyladenine) and iP (isopoentenyladenine).Levels of biologically active cytokinins (t-RZ and t-Z) didnot show marked changes after illumination. Levels of c-RZ andc-Z did, however, decrease in cotyledons and increase in hypocotylsafter illumination. Promotion of the accumulation of the chlorophyllin detached squash cotyledons by exogenously applied t-Z waspartially inhibited by the addition of c-Z, suggesting thatthe decrease in the endogenous level of c-Z in cotyledons ofintact seedlings after illumination permits the light-inducedformation of chlorophyll.

A cutting of Phaseolus mungoproduced about 4 adventitious rootsat the basal 1 mm region when the basal part of the cuttingwas dipped in water. Rootlets became visible after a 36 hr lagperiod in untreated cuttings. Treatment with 2-thiouracil or5-bromodeoxyuridine increased the number of roots formed onthe cutting and prolonged the lag period. Effects of 2-thiouraciland 5-bromodeoxyuridine were reversed by simultaneously applieduracil and thymidine. The number of roots decreased and thelength of lag period was shortened. The increases in the numberof roots by 2-thiouracil or 5-bromodeoxyuridine was reducedby gibberellic acid, which did not cause a decrease in the numberof roots to be formed on control cuttings. Roots formed at thebasal region seem to suppress further root formation at theupper part of the hypocotyl. Inhibitors used here probably workby blocking the formation of these bottommost roots.

Seedlings with leaf-like photosynthetic cotyledons such as Cucumissativus, Sinapis alba and Trifolium pratense have higher growthrates and a greater requirement for an external supply of potassiumthan hypogeal species (Pisum sativum, Vicia faba) or epigealspecies with very fleshy cotyledons (Phaseolus vulgaris, Lupinusalbus, Lupinus angustifolius). The initial stages of seedlingdevelopment in the latter two groups involve mainly transferof reserves from cotyledons to axis and a relatively small increasein total seedling dry weight takes place during the first 2to 3 weeks. Potassium may be drawn either from the supply already presentin the cotyledons or from an external source. Species with expandingphotosynthetic cotyledons utilize the reserve potassium duringcotyledon development and it is not transported to the epicotyl.Thus, in these species an external supply of potassium is essentialfor full development of the photosynthetic system and the roots.In species whose cotyledons are not major photosynthetic organsthe reserve potassium is transported from the cotyledons tothe developing axis. In these species culture in a nutrientsolution deficient in potassium or in distilled water increasesroot dry weight but reduces plumule weight (although to a lesserextent than in species with leaf-like cotyledons). In general,the response of seedlings to culture in a nutrient solutiondeficient in potassium was very similar to culture in distilledwater only. Thus, although all the species studied had similar levels ofpotassium in the seed (µg potassium/mg dry weight) itssite of utilization differs. It appears that seedlings withleaf-like cotyledons are more susceptible during early seedlinggrowth to deficiencies in external factors, such as potassium,than are species with fleshy cotyledons. 相似文献

Experiments were conducted to determine the influence of glyphosate[N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] on extractable nitrate reductaseactivity during light and dark growth of soybean (Glycine max)seedlings. Glyphosate (5?104 M), applied via root-feedingto three-day-old etiolated seedling, significantly reduced enzymeactivity in roots (48 to 96 h) and leaves (96 h) of seedlingsplaced in the light, but had little effect on enzyme activityin cotyledons compared to enzyme levels in tissues of untreatedseedlings. During dark-growth, nitrate reductase activity increasedwith time in cotyledons of untreated seedlings (activity about85-fold less than in cotyledons of light-grown plants) but muchlower enzyme levels were found in cotyledons of glyphosate-treatedseedlings after 72 and 96 h. In leaves of dark-grown seedlings,glyphosate reduced nitrate reductase levels by 95%. Most inhibitionof extractable enzyme activity occurred in newly developingorgans (leaves and roots) which correlates well with reportsthat glyphosate is rapidly translocated to these sites. However,the fact that glyphosate inhibits growth prior to lowering enzymeactivity levels indicates a secondary effect on nitrate reductase. (Received May 18, 1984; Accepted February 12, 1985) 相似文献

The development of glyoxysomal malate dehydrogenase (gMDH, EC 1.1.1.37) during early germination of watermelon seedlings (Citrullus vulgaris Schrad.) was determined in the cotyledons by means of radial immunodiffusion. The active isoenzyme was found to be absent in dry seeds. By density labelling with deuterium oxide and incorporation of [14C] amino acids it was shown that the marked increase of gMDH activity in the cotyledons during the first 4 days of germination was due to de novo synthesis of the isoenzyme. The effects of protein synthesis inhibitors (cycloheximide and chloramphenicol) on the synthesis of gMDH indicated that the glyoxysomal isoenzyme was synthesized on cytoplasmic ribosomes. Possible mechanisms by which the glyoxysomal malate dehydrogenase isoenzyme reaches its final location in the cell are discussed.Abbreviations mMDH

Six accessions of Glycine canescens and four of G. clandestinawere evaluated for their response to inoculation with Agrobacteriumrhizogenes strain LBA 9402. The response was accession-dependent,with 9% to 70% of the seedlings producing roots following infectionof the hypocotyl. Excised cotyledons were less responsive thanhypocotyls. Roots exhibited plagiotropic and negatively geotropicgrowth in culture on hormone-free agar medium; those of G. canescensproduced shoots on B5 based medium containing 10 mg dm3BAP and 0.05 mg dm3 IBA. Cultured roots and regeneratedshoots synthesized opines. DNA sequences homologous to thoseof pRi TL and TR-DNA were present in a clonally propagated regeneratedplant of G. canescens.

Changes in total nitrogen and free amino acid contents in stemcuttings of Morus alba have been studied. The fresh and dryweights and total nitrogen amounts of the parent stems of cuttingsdecreased initially after cutting. Their increase follows theformation of main roots in cuttings, suggesting that, like carbohydrates,sugars and starch, stored nitrogenous substances are used forsprouting and rooting of cuttings. Amino acids found in stems,roots and shoots are those common in other higher plants withthe exception of pipecolic acid and 5-hydroxypipecolic acid.Significant changes in the levels of asparagine, proline, arginine,-aminobutyric acid and alanine in roots, bark and wood of parentstems were observed during cutting growth, whereas those ofother amino acids remained comparatively constant; the mostpredominant amino acid in the starting materials was proline.while that in the cuttings during growth was asparagine. Theresults suggest that, among free amino acids, asparagine, prolineand arginine play the major part in storage of nitrogen in mulberry.The importance of glut-amine and asparagine in nitrogen metabolismin mulberry has been discussed. 相似文献
