Temporal and spatial expression patterns of genes encoding 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase (ACS1 and ACS2) and ACC oxidase (ACO), ACC concentration, and ethylene production in leaves and fruit of 'Valencia' orange (Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck) were examined in relation to differential abscission after treatment with 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (ethephon) alone or in combination with guanfacine or clonidine, two G-protein-coupled alpha(2A)-adrenoreceptor selective agonists. Guanfacine and clonidine markedly reduced ethephon-enhanced leaf abscission, but had little effect on ethephon-enhanced fruit loosening. Ethephon-enhanced fruit and leaf ethylene production, and ACC concentration in fruit abscission zones, fruit peel, leaf abscission zones, and leaf blades were decreased by guanfacine. Guanfacine reduced ethephon-enhanced expression of ACS1 and ACO genes in leaf abscission zones and blades, but to a lesser extent in fruit abscission zones. The expression pattern of the ACS2 gene, however, was not associated with abscission. The results demonstrate that differential expression of ACS1 and ACO genes is associated with reduction of ethephon-enhanced leaf abscission by guanfacine, and suggest a link between G-protein-related signalling and abscission. 相似文献

The latest advances in our understanding of the relationship between ethylene and fruit ripening are reviewed. Considerable progress has been made in the characterisation of genes encoding the key ethylene biosynthetic enzymes, ACC synthase (ACS) and ACC oxidase (ACO) and in the isolation of genes involved in the ethylene signal transduction pathway, particularly those encoding ethylene receptors ( ETR ). These have allowed the generation of transgenic fruit with reduced ethylene production and the identification of the Nr tomato ripening mutant as an ethylene receptor mutant. Through these tools, a clearer picture of the role of ethylene in fruit ripening is now emerging. In climacteric fruit, the transition to autocatalytic ethylene production appears to result from a series of events where developmentally regulated ACO and ACS gene expression initiates a rise in ethylene production, setting in motion the activation of autocatalytic ethylene production. Differential expression of ACS and ACO gene family members is probably involved in such a transition. Finally, we discuss evidence suggesting that the NR ethylene perception and transduction pathway is specific to a defined set of genes expressed in ripening climacteric fruit and that a distinct ETR pathway regulates other ethylene-regulated genes in both immature and ripening climacteric fruit as well as in non-climacteric fruit. The emerging picture is one where both ethylene-dependent and -independent pathways coexist in both climacteric and non-climacteric fruits. Further work is needed in order to dissect the molecular events involved in individual ripening processes and to understand the regulation of the expression of both ethylene-dependent and -independent genes. 相似文献

The present study was carried out to understand the mechanism of salt stress amelioration in red pepper plants by inoculation
of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase-producing halotolerant bacteria. In general, ethylene production,
ACC concentration, ACC synthase (ACS), and ACC oxidase (ACO) enzyme activities increased with increasing levels of salt stress.
Treatment with halotolerant bacteria reduced ethylene production by 47–64%, ACC concentration by 47–55% and ACO activity by
18–19% in salt-stressed (150 mmol NaCl) red pepper seedlings compared to uninoculated controls. ACS activity was lower in
red pepper seedlings treated with Bacillus aryabhattai RS341 but higher in seedlings treated with Brevibacterium epidermidis RS15 (44%) and Micrococcus yunnanensis RS222 (23%) under salt-stressed conditions as compared to uninoculated controls. A significant increase was recorded in red
pepper plant growth under salt stress when treated with ACC deaminase-producing halotolerant bacteria as compared to uninoculated
controls. The results of this study collectively suggest that salt stress enhanced ethylene production by increasing enzyme
activities of the ethylene biosynthetic pathway. Inoculation with ACC deaminase-producing halotolerant bacteria plays an important
role in ethylene metabolism, particularly by reducing the ACC concentration, although a direct effect on reducing ACO activity
was also observed. It is suggested that growth promotion in inoculated red pepper plants under inhibitory levels of salt stress
is due to ACC deaminase activity present in the halotolerant bacteria. 相似文献

1 Introduction The simple gaseous phytohormone ethylene as apotent modulator has various roles in plant growth,development and in response to biotic and abioticstress, such as germination, fruit ripening, flower andleaf senescence, and responsiveness to pathogen attack and mechanical damage[1]. The opening and senes-cence of many kinds of flowers are correlated tightly to ethylene, including carnation, petunia, orchid and rose[2]. Generally, roses are classified as ethylene-sen-sitive, however… 相似文献

The plant hormone ethylene is involved in many plant processes ranging from seed germination to leaf and flower senescence
and fruit ripening. Ethylene is synthesized from methionine, via S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) and 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC). The key ethylene biosynthetic enzymes are
ACC synthase (ACS) and ACC oxidase (ACO). Manipulation of ethylene biosynthesis by chemicals and gene technology is discussed.
Biotechnological modification of ethylene synthesis is a promising method to prevent spoilage of agricultural and horticultural
products. 相似文献

The differential expression of the petunia 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) oxidase gene family during flower development and senescence was investigated. ACC oxidase catalyzes the conversion of ACC to ethylene. The increase in ethylene production by petunia corollas during senescence was preceded by increased ACC oxidase mRNA and enzyme activity. Treatment of flowers with ethylene led to an increase in ethylene production, ACC oxidase mRNA, and ACC oxidase activity in corollas. In contrast, leaves did not exhibit increased ethylene production or ACC oxidase expression in response to ethylene. Gene-specific probes revealed that the ACO1 gene was expressed specifically in senescing corollas and in other floral organs following exposure to ethylene. The ACO3 and ACO4 genes were specifically expressed in developing pistil tissue. In situ hybridization experiments revealed that ACC oxidase mRNAs were specifically localized to the secretory cells of the stigma and the connective tissue of the receptacle, including the nectaries. Treatment of flower buds with ethylene led to patterns of ACC oxidase gene expression spatially distinct from the patterns observed during development. The timing and tissue specificity of ACC oxidase expression during pistil development were paralleled by physiological processes associated with reproduction, including nectar secretion, accumulation of stigmatic exudate, and development of the self-incompatible response. 相似文献

Purified malformin A1 (cyclo-D-Cys-D-Cys-L-Val-D-Leu-L-lle), a cyclicpentapeptide toxin fromAspergillus niger, was applied to the hypocotyl segments of mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) seedlings to investigate its role in regulating ethylene biosynthesis. Production of ethylene was induced by treating
the plants with 0.1 mM indole-3-acetic acid (1AA). When 0.1 μM malformin A1 was then applied, ethylene production increased
and the activities of two key enzymes for its biosynthesis, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC)-synthase (ACS) and
ACC-oxidase (ACO), were also stimulated. However, at levels of 1 or 10 μM malformin A1, both ethylene production and enzymatic
activities were significantly reduced. In the case of ACO,in vitro activity was regulated by malformin A1, independent of ACS activity or the influence of IAA. Furthermore, the conjugate form
of ACC, N-malonyl ACC, was significantly promoted by treatment with 0.1 μM malformin A1. These data suggest that malformin
A1 can modulate ethylene production through diverse paths and that its effect depends on the concentration of the treatment
administered. 相似文献

Citrus fruits infected with the fungus Penicillium digitatum substantially increase the production of the plant hormone ethylene. In this study, the regulation of ethylene biosynthesis in Citrus sinensis-infected fruits and its putative involvement in an active defence response against P. digitatum infection is examined. Ethylene production is demonstrated as being the result of the co-ordinated and differential up-regulation of at least three ethylene biosynthetic genes: ACS1, ACS2, and ACO. Blocking ethylene perception by 1-MCP resulted in an increased ethylene production and ACS2 expression during infection and mechanical wounding, suggesting that this gene is negatively regulated by ethylene. ACO expression was induced by ethylene in the absence of wounding or infection, although further results indicate that its induction during the course of infection may not be primarily mediated by ethylene. Treatment with 1-MCP also increased susceptibility to Penicillium decay, showing an involvement of ethylene perception in promoting defence responses in citrus fruits. The changes in the expression of two defence-related genes up-regulated during infection were also studied: the ones coding for phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and an acidic class II chitinase (ACR311). The onset of PAL expression after mechanical wounding or inoculation was not changed in 1-MCP-pretreated fruits, while its later increase during the course of infection was abolished. Chitinase gene induction was more related to mechanical damage and was partially repressed by ethylene. These studies indicate distinct possible regulatory mechanisms of plant fruit defence genes in the context of fungal infection and ethylene perception. 相似文献

Increased ethylene evolution accompanies seed germination of many species including Pisum sativum L., but only a little is known about the regulation of the ethylene biosynthetic pathway in different seed tissues. Biosynthesis
of the direct ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), the expression of ACC oxidase (ACO), and ethylene
production were investigated in the cotyledons and embryonic axis of germinating pea seeds. An early onset and sequential
induction of ACC biosynthesis, accumulation of Ps-ACO1 mRNA and of ACO activity, and ethylene production were localized almost exclusively in the embryonic axis. Maximal levels
of ACC, Ps-ACO1 mRNA, ACO enzyme activity and ethylene evolution were found when radicle emergence was just complete. Treatment of germinating
seeds with ethylene alone or in combination with the inhibitor of ethylene action 2,5-norbornadiene showed that endogenous
ethylene regulates its own biosynthesis through a positive feedback loop that enhances ACO expression. Accumulation of Ps-ACO1 mRNA and of ACO enzyme activity in the embryonic axis during the late phase of germination required ethylene, whereas Ps-ACS1 mRNA levels and overall ACC contents were not induced by ethylene treatment. Ethylene did not induce ACO in the embryonic
axis during the early phase of germination. Ethylene-independent signalling pathways regulate the spatial and temporal pattern
of ethylene biosynthesis, whereas the ethylene signalling pathway regulates high-level ACO expression in the embryonic axis,
and thereby enhances ethylene evolution during seed germination.

为了研究乙烯在西瓜(Citrullus lanatusThunb.Mansfeld)果实水渍化败坏过程中的作用,先将果实在5μL/L 1-甲基环丙烯(1-MCP)气体中处理18 h,然后在50 μL/L乙烯和20℃温度下贮藏.西瓜果实对乙烯处理的最初反应表现为胎座组织的电导率和游离汁液增加,同时出现组织软化和水渍化.水渍化的症状最初在靠近花萼端的内果皮中发生,在乙烯处理的第2天开始出现,ACC合成酶(ACS)和ACC氧化酶(ACO)的活性明显提高.1-MCP单独处理不产生任何明显的作用,但是会完全抑制外源乙烯诱导的水渍化败坏.没有经过乙烯处理的西瓜果实,贮藏2 d以后出现呼吸强度和乙烯释放量的高峰,10 d以后水渍化现象也零星出现.这些结果和1-MCP的预防效果说明,西瓜果实的水渍化败坏是一种由乙烯诱导的衰老现象. 相似文献

Ethylene has profound effect on fruit development and ripening, and the role of ethylene biosynthesis enzymes involving 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase (ACS), ACC oxidase (ACO), and S-Adenosyl-l-methionine synthetase (SAMS) in peach fruit (cv. Xiahui-8) was characterized under 25 and 4 °C, respectively. All these enzymes in ethylene synthesis pathway were identified using 2-DE and real-time PCR. Both protein and gene expressions of ACO and SAMS were much higher at 25 °C than at 4 °C. Among five members of ACS family, PpaACS4 may belong to system II ethylene biosynthesis, while PpaACS3 involved in system I during development stage, and low temperature can induce PpaACS1 expression. The ethylene release and low expressions of proteins and genes of most enzymes indicated that low temperature can effectively postpone ripening stage by reducing ethylene evolution. High gene expression of PpaSAMS did not cause excessive expression of SAMS protein under low temperature, and over-expression of PpaACS1 at low temperature still did not induce increase of ethylene production. The mechanism underlying the phenomenon about how temperature affects ethylene release was also discussed. 相似文献
