Changes in carbon isotope composition(13C) and leaf morphology associated withvegetative phase change were monitored in Metrosiderosexcelsa Sol. ex Gaertn. (family Myrtaceae). Plants of threeontogenetic states were used: juvenile seedlings, micropropagated plants in arejuvenated state, and reproductively mature plants bearing leaves with adultcharacteristics. The effects of temperature regime (32/24 °C,24/16 °C, and 16/8 °C day/night) and plantarchitecture (branched and single-stemmed plants) were studied in two separateexperiments. Although both juvenile and rejuvenated plants exhibited juvenileleaf morphology at the start of the experiments, there was no differencebetweenleaf 13C in these plants and that in adultplantsat this time (mean ca. –27%). Vegetative phase change occurred injuvenileand rejuvenated plants grown at 24/16 °C, and there was acorresponding increase in leaf 13C (from ca.–27% to –23%) in these two groups of plants. Leaf13C in adult plants remained relatively constant(ca. –26%) at 24/16 °C. There was little change in leaf13C in all plant states maintained at 32/24°C or 16/8 °C, and vegetative phase change didnot occur in juvenile and rejuvenated plants grown under these two temperatureregimes. Rejuvenated plants grown in a greenhouse also exhibited a progressivedevelopment of adult leaf morphology, accompanied by an increase in leaf13C, an effect that was more pronounced insingle-stemmed (from –26.4% to ca. –24%) than in branched plants. Itis suggested that increasing 13C in juvenile andrejuvenated plants undergoing phase change is a result of reduced sink strengthin single-stemmed plants, and to a lesser extent within each branch of branchedplants, causing reduced stomatal conductance and photosynthesis. 相似文献

The effect of nitrogen supply to chicory plants on carbon partitioningbetween shoot, root and tuberized root was studied at differentstages of vegetative growth, using long-term 13CO2 labelling-chaseexperiments. This approach was complemented by measurement ofstorage carbohydrates and activities of enzymes involved inroot sucrose metabolism (sucrose-sucrose fructosyl transferase(SST), sucrose synthase, invertase). In both young and matureplants, low resulted in a 3035% decrease in 13C assimilation. However, the partitioningof 13C between shoot and root was affected differently at differentstages of development. In young plants, in which carbohydrateswere being used for structural root and shoot growth, neither13C shoot/13C root ratio nor root activities of the above enzymeswere modified by supply. In contrast, in mature plants storing large amounts of carbohydratesas fructan in the tuberized root, low caused the ratio to decrease from 0.6 to 0.2, despiteunchanged net flux of 13C from shoot to root. The extractableactivity of SST was elevated in mature plants, compared to youngplants, at both low and high , consistent with its role in fructan synthesis. However, matureplants grown at low exhibited SST activity double that of plants grown at high . From these results, it is concluded that the observeddecrease in shoot/root dry weight ratio at low supply is caused by increased utilization of carbohydratesfor storage due to elevated root SST activity.

Shoot multiplication and root formation was induced in vitro from mature shoot explants of the woody ornamental plant species Dampiera diversifolia and Prostanthera rotundifolia. 0.5 M BAP+0.5 M kinetin in the absence of auxins gave the most prolific shoot multiplication in both species but there were qualitative and quantitative differences between species in rooting responses to auxin applications. A high percentage of rooted plants were successfully grown-on in pot culture. 相似文献

Roots of annual crop plants are a major sink for carbon particularly during early, vegetative growth when up to one-half of all assimilated carbon may be translocated belowground. Flowering marks a particularly important change in resource allocation, especially in determinate species, with considerably less allocation to roots and, depending on environmental conditions, there may be insufficient for maintenance. Studies with 14C indicate the rapid transfer belowground of assimilates with typically 50% translocated in young cereal plants of which 50% is respired; exudation/rhizodeposition is generally <5% of the fixed carbon. Root: total plant mass decreases through the season and is affected by soil and atmospheric conditions. Limited water availability increased the allocation of 13C to roots of wheat grown in columns so that at booting 0.38 of shoot C (ignoring shoot respiration) was belowground compared to 0.31 in well-watered plants. Elevated CO2 (700 mol CO2 mol–1 air) increased the proportion of root:total mass by 55% compared with normal concentration, while increasing the air temperature by a mean of 3 °C decreased the proportion from 0.093 in the cool treatment to 0.055 in the warm treatment. 相似文献

Cucumber plants ( Cucumis sativus L. cv. Athene F1) were grown with four treatments: unrestricted root volume fruiting (UF); unrestricted root volume non-fruiting (UN); restricted root volume fruiting (RF); and restricted root volume non-fruiting (RN). Restricting root volume to 40 ml reduced leaf area, and by day 60 leaf area was only 20% that of unrestricted plants. Leaf area reduction in restricted plants was due to a combination of smaller and fewer leaves. Root restriction strongly depressed total dry matter production in both root and shoot. Significant differences of treatments in shoot and root growth rates were akpparent 30 days after sowing. RN plants had a 70% lower net photosynthesis (Pn ), stomatal conductance (gs ) and transpiration rate (E) measured on day 50, while root restriction had no effect on Pn in fruiting plants, although gs and E were significantly decreased due to restriction. Respiration capacity of restricted roots decreased sharply after day 24 compared with unrestricted root systems. Initially, O2 may have been the limiting resource and root respiration capacity a major factor involved in root restriction, since it causes imbalances in root growth substances and related hormones that alter the plant's morphology. 相似文献

Wheat plants were grown in columns of soil until early stem elongation at a wide range of constant root temperatures. Two light environments were imposed and three levels of nitrogen fertilizer added at sowing. Shoot and root development and growth were measured by destructive sampling to investigate the combined effects of temperature and changing nutrient and assimilate supply. Both mainstem leaf and root axis production were linearly related to thermal time above a base temperature of 0°C. Low irradiance affected the appearance of mainstem tillers and associated nodal root axes. Nitrogen had little effect on shoot or root development but increased shoot area between 6 and 8 mainstem leaves. Higher temperatures and supplementary light resulted in larger root systems when compared at equivalent times after sowing. Total root length and root dry weight increased exponentially with thermal time, based on the mean of 4 cm soil and 2 cm air temperatures, but no single relation existed for all temperature and light treatments. Total plant dry matter, root length and root dry weight increased linearly with accumulated, intercepted, photosynthetically active radiation. Root growth responded less than the shoot to supplementary light. Increasing temperature reduced the proportion of root weight to total plant weight. 相似文献

Root growth patterns respond to small-scale resource heterogeneity and the presence of roots of neighboring plants, but how a plant integrates its responses to these cues is not well understood. In the presence of neighbors, plants may shift allocation to roots as a consequence of plant size and root:shoot allometry, as a response to resource depletion by neighbors, or through a direct response to neighbor presence. The same response pathways also have the potential to alter proliferation in resource-rich patches in soil.Four species of grassland plants were grown in the greenhouse as single plants, monocultures, and mixtures. Root length allocation as a function of shoot mass was examined for background soil and fertilized patches. Plants grown with same-species neighbors followed the same allometric trajectory as single plants for root length in background soil, so any change in root allocation was due only to reduced plant size. Root proliferation in patches declined with neighbors, consistent with a response to resource depletion. Mixtures overproduced roots in both background soil and in patches, relative to plants of the same size in monocultures. 相似文献

Summary The effect of P nutrition on the growth of tomato plants in peat was examined. Initially, plants received an adequate supply of P and then received either nil, 0.78 or 2.34 kg superphosphate per m3 in combination with either 50 g N/ml (N1) or 300 g N/ml (N2) as ammonium nitrate in a liquid feed. Vegetative growth was restricted in the lower P treatmentsi.e. inhibited shoot growth, reduced duration of leaf expansion phase, thinner stems and reduced vegetative dry wt. Plants receiving N2 showed a greater restriction in growth compared with N1 plants when the P supply was limiting. P deficiency disrupted protein metabolism in the leaves, in that soluble leaf protein was reduced and trichloroacetic acid-soluble N accumulated. Flower development was accelerated by low P applications but the final numbers of flowers and the fruit-setting efficiency were reduced. Lowering the N supply reduced the fruit yield by 36 per cent while an intermediate P level reduced yields by about 15 per cent. Maximum fruit yields and good vegetative growth occurred when plants contained 0.4 per cent P or above in the mature leaves, and this value was achieved by adding the highest level (2.34 kg/m3) of superphosphate to the peat. 相似文献

Rifampicin-nalidixic acid resistant mutants of a plant growth promotingPseudomonas sp., strain PsJN, were evaluated for their ability to stimulate in vitro growth of potato. Two mutant strains, MFE (a consistent growth promoter), and IIM15 (an inconsistent growth promoter), were selected for root colonization study. Root colonization of potato plants was consistently greater with MFE than with IIM15. The population density of indigenous bacteria on the root surface of potato plants inoculated with strain MFE was significantly lower as compared to non-bacterized controls and to the plants bacterized with strain IIM15. Soil sterilization did not affect plant growth in any of the treatments. Bacterization of seed tubers with strain MFE stimulated plant emergence and root development in the field, during the first two weeks after planting. Bacterized plants also formed stolons and tubers earlier and had increased yields of commercial size tubers (55 mm) as compared to non-bacterized controls. Root colonization by strain MFE was positively correlated with plant growth stimulation. 相似文献

Influence of varied zinc supply on re-translocation of cadmium (109Cd) and rubidium (86Rb) applied on mature leaf of durum wheat seedlings 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Effect of varied zinc (Zn) supply (0, 0.1, 1, 5 M) on re-translocation of radio-labeled cadmium (109Cd) and rubidium (86Rb) from mature leaf to root and other parts of shoot was studied in 11-day-old durum wheat (Triticum durum cv. C-1252) plants grown in nutrient solution under controlled environmental conditions. Application of 109Cd and 86Rb was carried out by immersing the tips (3 cm) of mature leaf in radio-labeled solutions for 10 s at three different times over a 42 h period. Differences in Zn supply for 11 days did not affect plant growth nor did it cause visual leaf symptoms, such as necrosis and chlorosis, at either the lowest or the highest Zn supply. Only at the nil Zn supply (0 M), shoot and root dry weights tended to decrease and increase, respectively, causing a lower shoot/root dry weight ratio. Partitioning of more dry matter to roots rather than shoots, a typical phenomena for Zn-deficient plants in nutrient solution experiments, indicated existence of a mild Zn deficiency stress at the nil-Zn treatment. Irrespective of Zn supply, plants could, on average, retranslocate 3.8% and 38% of the total absorbed 109Cd and 86Rb from the treated leaf to roots and other parts of shoots within 42 h, respectively. At nil-Zn treatment, 2.8% of the total absorbed 109Cd was re-translocated from the treated leaf, particularly into roots. The highest re-translocation of 109Cd (6.5%) was found in plants supplied with 0.1 M Zn. Increases in Zn supply from 0.1 M reduced 109Cd re-translocation from 6.5% to 4.3% at 1 M Zn and 1.3% at 5 M Zn. With the exception of the nil-Zn treatment, the proportion of re-translocated 109Cd was greater in the remainder of the shoot than in the roots. Contrary to the 109Cd results, re-translocation of 86Rb was not (at 0, 0.1 and 1 M Zn), or only slightly (at 5 M), affected by changing Zn supply. The results indicate an inhibitory action of increased concentrations of Zn in shoot tissues on phloem-mediated Cd transport. This effect is discussed in relation to competitive inhibition of Cd loading into phloem sap by Zn. 相似文献

Reducing rooting volume restricted root growth during theproduction of Petunia x hybrida'Orchid and resulted in an unfavorable increase in apicaldominance. Exposing young petunia seedlings to ethylene counteracted theeffects of root restriction. Rooting volumes of 9, 28, 58, or 160mL restricted the development of lateral shoots, therebyincreasing apical dominance compared to plants grown in 162 mLrooting volumes. Ethephon, an ethylene-producing compound, increased thedevelopment of lateral shoots of seedlings grown in rooting volumes rangingfrom 28 mL to 160 mL. At a rooting volume of 9mL, ethylene exposure was not capable of reducing the growth ofthe main shoot; apical dominance remained strong in both the control andethephon-treated plants. Because lateral shoot development was not restrictedby rooting volumes greater than 160 mL, exposing these plants toethylene did not result in supplementary lateral shoot development. Levels ofindole-3-acetic acid (IAA), isopentenyladenosine (iPA), and zeatin riboside(ZR) decreased on a whole shoot basis as rooting volume decreased from 162 to58 mL. Indoleacetic acid levels in ethephon-exposed plantsdecreased 20% compared to the control. The cytokinins iPA and ZR showedno response to ethylene exposure; however, the ratio of auxin/cytokinindecreased 24% compared to the control. The decrease in theauxin/cytokinin ratio was associated with an increase in the number and lengthof lateral shoots. 相似文献

Effects of root restriction on growth correlations, water relations and senescence of alder seedlings 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3
Root restriction may be of importance for productivity in both forestry and agriculture. To study the physiological effects of root restriction in European alder ( Alnus glutinosa Gaertn.), seedlings were grown in aerated liquid culture under one of four root volumes to induce the following levels of root restriction: 1.5, 6,16 and 500 ml. Root restriction for 96 days reduced shoot elongation, plant dry weight, leaf area and chlorophyll levels and increased leaf area/root dry weight ratio and correlative bud inhibition in seedlings. The initial reduction in root/shoot ratios of severely restricted seedlings was followed by a reduction in leaf water potential, the development of internal water deficits in the upper shoots, a reduction in stomatal opening and transpiration rates and, eventually, stomatal closure. Severe prolonged root restriction (1.5 ml root volume) resulted in a decline in seedling vigour and ultimately, senescence as determined by increased electrical impedance ratios, followed by visible leaf senescence and later, by whole plant senescence. Of the severely restricted seedlings, 40% were dead after 96 days of restriction. The results suggest that imbalanced root/shoot ratios caused the development of internal water stress and the consequent reduction in stomatal aperture, culminating in leaf and whole plant senescence. 相似文献

Root disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani is a common problem of spring wheat in South Australia. There are reports that nitrogen applications can reduce the incidence and severity of the disease. A glasshouse trail in pots examined the effects of disease and of applied nitrogen on wheat growth, and evaluated the utility of the basal stem nitrate concentration in diagnosing deficiency in plants with and without root disease. Plants were harvested at the mid-tillering stage. Shoot growth was increased by applied nitrogen until a maximum yield was attained, after which additional N had no effect on shoot yield. Root growth, however, responded positively only to low levels of applied N, after which it declined, and in the highest N treatment root mass was less than in the plants without applied N. Root disease caused severe reductions in plant growth, and both root and shoot mass were affected similarly. Even though growth of diseased plants responded positively to applied nitrogen the response was less than that of disease-free plants. The critical concentration of basal stem nitrate-N did not appear to be affected by root disease, and was estimated at 1200 mg kg-1, consistent with other glasshouse data. The basal stem nitrate-N concentration, either in fresh or dried tissue, appeared a better diagnostic tool of N stress than did total shoot N concentration or content, because of sharper definition of critical concentrations. Concentrations of other nutrients in shoot tissue were affected differentially by both applied nitrogen and root disease, but generally did not reach critical levels, although phosphorus and magnesium appeared deficient in very disease-stressed plants. 相似文献

A previous analysis with deletion mutants of the native -phaseolin gene demonstrated that removal of a negative element 5 upstream of–107 permitted phaseolin expression in stem cortex and secondary root (Burowet al., 1992). Here we employed the -glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene to visualize, by histochemical staining, the cell type-specificity of phaseolin expression in stem and root, and to understand further the spatial control of the -phaseolin gene. The 782 bp 5 upstream promoter and its deletion mutants were fused to the GUS gene, and these chimaeric genes were used to transform tobacco. Histochemical staining for GUS activity demonstrated that phaseolin promoters truncated downstream of –227 conferred cell-type specific expression in internal/external phloem and protoxylem of mature stem. Surprisingly, GUS staining was prominent in both apical and lateral shoot apices of plants that contain the full-length –782 promoter and mutant promoters deleted up to –64. GUS expression was extended to all cell types of shoot tips, including epidermis, cortex, vasculature, procambium and pith. Expression in vasculature of petioles was limited to plants with promoters truncated to –106 and –64. The current results are in agreement with our previous findings with the native phaseolin gene: that the major positive element (–295/–228) is sufficient for seed-specific late-temporal expression of the phaseolin gene. We conclude that the 5 upstream sequence of the -phaseolin gene directs spatially- and temporally-controlled gene expression in developing seeds during the reproductive phase, but also confers expression in shoot apices during the vegetative phase of plant development. 相似文献

The root, vegetative shoot and fruit growth of November and January sown glasshouse tomato plants grown in flowing water culture was followed over 6–7 months. The relationship between vegetative and reproductive growth was examined after two-thirds of the flowers were removed from half the experimental plants. This resulted in larger plants which had fewer, larger fruits and eventually a fruit yield almost as large as the controls. In the control plants, fruit growth increased steadily until it reached 90% of the total incremental fresh weight of the plant 50–60 days after first anthesis. Leaf growth was markedly depressed at this stage and root growth ceased 4 wk after anthesis. Some root death was observed from anthesis onwards. When fruit growth subsequently diminished, vegetative growth recovered but to a lower rate than before fruiting commenced. Following partial flower removal, only 64% or less of the total increment of fresh weight went into the fruit. Although vegetative growth at this stage was thus greater than in the control plants, both shoot and root growth followed the same qualitative pattern with time. The ratio of vegetative shoot to root fresh weight remained essentially constant throughout the fruiting phase in plants of both sowings whether flowers were removed or not. This suggests that the fruit grew in competition with the vegetative organs as a whole, although, for a short period at early fruiting, root growth was more seriously affected. The pattern and amount of fruiting in this indeterminate plant was influenced by the size of the vegetative organs at fruiting, and by the effect of the existing developing fruit on further vegetative and reproductive growth. 相似文献

Influence of phosphate and nitrate supply on root hair formation of rape,spinach and tomato plants 总被引:19,自引:2,他引:17
Summary Experiments with tomato, rape and spinach in nutrient solutions have shown that the formation of root hairs is strongly influenced by phosphate and nitrate supply. Decreasing the phosphate concentration of the nutrient solution from 100 to 2 M P resulted in an increase of root hair length from 0.1–0.2 to 0.7 mm of the three plant species. Root hair density also increased by a factor of 2–4 when the P concentration was lowered from 1000 to 2 M. The variation of these two root properties raised the root surface area by a factor of 2 or 3 compared to plants well supplied with P. Root hair length was closely related to the phosphate content of the root and shoot material. On the other hand, spinach plants grown in a split-root experiment produced root hairs in solutions of high P concentration (1000M P) if the major part of the total root system was exposed to low P concentration (2 M P). It is therefore concluded that the formation of root hairs does not depend on directly the P concentration at the root surface but on the P content of the plant.Similar experiments with nitrate also resulted in an increase in length and density of root hairs with the decrease of concentration below 1000 M. In this case marked differences between plant species occurred. At 2 M compared to 1000 M NO3 root hair length of tomato increased by a factor of 2, of rape by a factor of 5 and of spinach by a factor of 9. Root hair length was correlated, but not very closely, to the total nitrogen content of the plants. It is concluded, that the influence of nutrient supply on the formation of root hairs is a mechanism for regulating the nutrient uptake of plants.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. E. Welte on the occasion of his 70th anniversary. 相似文献

HASTY,the Arabidopsis ortholog of exportin 5/MSN5, regulates phase change and morphogenesis 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Bollman KM Aukerman MJ Park MY Hunter C Berardini TZ Poethig RS 《Development (Cambridge, England)》2003,130(8):1493-1504
Loss-of-function mutations of HASTY (HST) affect many different processes in Arabidopsis development. In addition to reducing the size of both roots and lateral organs of the shoot, hst mutations affect the size of the shoot apical meristem, accelerate vegetative phase change, delay floral induction under short days, adaxialize leaves and carpels, disrupt the phyllotaxis of the inflorescence, and reduce fertility. Double mutant analysis suggests that HST acts in parallel to SQUINT in the regulation of phase change and in parallel to KANADI in the regulation of leaf polarity. Positional cloning demonstrated that HST is the Arabidopsis ortholog of the importin beta-like nucleocytoplasmic transport receptors exportin 5 in mammals and MSN5 in yeast. Consistent with a potential role in nucleocytoplasmic transport, we found that HST interacts with RAN1 in a yeast two-hybrid assay and that a HST-GUS fusion protein is located at the periphery of the nucleus. HST is one of at least 17 members of the importin-beta family in Arabidopsis and is the first member of this family shown to have an essential function in plants. The hst loss-of-function phenotype suggests that this protein regulates the nucleocytoplasmic transport of molecules involved in several different morphogenetic pathways, as well as molecules generally required for root and shoot growth. 相似文献

A micropropagation protocol of Bupleurum fruticosumL. was developed, in order to obtain a great number of plants for the production of secondary metabolites. The combination of 1.0 mg l–1 indole-3-acetic acid and 1.5 mg l–1 6-benzyladenine added to Murashige–Skoog medium resulted in the best multiplication. Root formation gave the same results in hormone-free medium and in the medium to which various concentrations of 1-naphthaleneacetic acid had been added. In both the multiplication and the rooting phase, 2, 5, 10 and 20 g l–1 triacontanol were applied. After 4 weeks of culture, the number of shoots and nodes and the fresh weight were measured in the multiplication phase. Root number, shoot length, node number and fresh weight were determined in the root induction phase, while chlorophyll content was measured in both phases. In the multiplication phase 2 g l–1 triacontanol was found to be the optimal concentration, the same as was the case in the rooting phase, except for the production of epigeous structures, for which the optimal concentration was 10 g l–1. 相似文献

The levels of indol-3yl-acetic acid and gibberellins were determined in shoots and storage roots of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) at various times during the vegetative growth cycle of control plants and plants in which the root to shoot ratio was modified by daminozide treatment. In control plants the onset of storage organ growth was preceded by a change in the hormone root to shoot ratio to favour the root. There was a general reduction in hormone levels in daminozide-treated plants but the pattern of their distribution in roots and shoots was very similar to that in control plants. Thus the effects of daminozide on increased storage root growth cannot be explained in terms of altered root to shoot hormone ratios. 相似文献
