The role of the apical shoot as a source of inhibitors preventing fruit growth in the absence of a stimulus (e.g. pollination or application of gibberellic acid) has been investigated in pea (Pisum sativum L.). Plant decapitation stimulated parthenocarpic growth, even in derooted plants, and this effect was counteracted by the application of indole acetic acid (IAA) or abscisic acid (ABA) in agar blocks to the severed stump. The treatment of unpollinated ovaries with gibberellic acid blocked the effect of IAA or ABA applied to the stump. [3H]IAA and [3H]ABA applied to the stump were transported basipetally, and [3H]ABA but not [3H]IAA was also detected in unpollinated ovaries. The concentration of ABA in unpollinated ovaries increased significantly in the absence of a promotive stimulus. The application of IAA to the stump enhanced by 2- to 5-fold the concentration of ABA in the inhibited ovary, whereas the inhibition of IAA transport from the apical shoot by triiodobenzoic acid decreased the ovary content of ABA (to approximately one-half). Triiodobenzoic acid alone, however, was unable to stimulate ovary growth. Thus, in addition to removing IAA transport from the apical shoot, the accumulation of a promotive factor is also necessary to induce parthenocarpic growth in decapitated plants.  相似文献

In pea, normal pod (pericarp) growth requires the presence of seeds; and in the absence of seeds, gibberellins (GAs) and/or auxins can stimulate pericarp growth. To further characterize the function of naturally occurring pea GAs and the auxin, 4-chloroindole-3-acetic acid (4-Cl-IAA), on pea fruit development, profiles of the biological activities of GA3, GA1, and 4-Cl-IAA on pericarp growth were determined separately and in combination on pollinated deseeded ovaries (split-pericarp assay) and nonpollinated ovaries. Nonpollinated ovaries (pericarps) responded differently to exogenous GAs and 4-Cl-IAA than pollinated deseeded pericarps. In nonpollinated pericarps, both GA3 and 4-Cl-IAA stimulated pericarp growth, but GA3 was significantly more active in stimulating all measured parameters of pericarp growth than 4-Cl-IAA. 4-Cl-IAA, GA1, and GA3 were observed to stimulate pericarp growth similarly in pollinated deseeded pericarps. In addition, the synergistic effect of simultaneous application of 4-Cl-IAA and GAs on pollinated deseeded pericarp growth supports the hypothesis that GAs and 4-Cl-IAA are involved in the growth and development of pollinated ovaries.  相似文献

Information on the involvement of elongation-controlling hormones, particularly gibberellin (GA), in UV-B modulation of stem elongation and leaf growth, is limited. We aimed to study the effect of UV-B on levels of GA and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) as well as involvement of GA in UV-B inhibition of stem elongation and leaf expansion in pea. Reduced shoot elongation (13%) and leaf area (37%) in pea in response to a 6-h daily UV-B (0.45 W m?2) exposure in the middle of the light period for 10 days were associated with decreased levels of the bioactive GA1 in apical stem tissue (59%) and young leaves (69%). UV-B also reduced the content of IAA in young leaves (35%). The importance of modulation of GA metabolism for inhibition of stem elongation in pea by UV-B was confirmed by the lack of effect of UV-B in the le GA biosynthesis mutant. No UV-B effect on stem elongation in the la cry-s (della) pea mutant demonstrates that intact GA signalling is required. In conclusion, UV-B inhibition of shoot elongation and leaf expansion in pea depends on UV-B modulation of GA metabolism in shoot apices and young leaves and GA signalling through DELLA proteins. UV-B also affects the IAA content in pea leaves.  相似文献

In plants such as the garden pea (Pisum sativum L.), it is widely thought that the auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is synthesised mainly in the immature tissues of the apical bud and then transported basipetally to other parts of the plant. Consistent with this belief are results showing that removal of the apical bud markedly reduces the IAA content in the stem. However, it has also been suggested that the mature leaves may synthesise substantial amounts of IAA, which enters the basipetal transport stream after being transported to the shoot apex in the phloem (Cambridge and Morris in Planta 99:583–588, 1996). To examine this theory, we defoliated pea plants and measured the effect on IAA content in the remaining shoot tissues. IAA levels were reduced in the internodes, and to a lesser extent in the apical bud, after defoliation, suggesting that mature leaves are indeed an important source of auxin for the shoot. Consistent with this idea, we have demonstrated that mature, fully expanded leaves are capable of de novo IAA synthesis. Furthermore, we report evidence for the presence of IAA in the phloem sap of pea. Together these results support those of Cambridge and Morris, suggesting that mature leaves are a source of the IAA in the basipetal transport stream.  相似文献

Stems of mango (Mangifera indica L.) rest in a nongrowing, dormant state for much of the year. Ephemeral flushes of vegetative or reproductive shoot growth are periodically evoked in apical or lateral buds of these resting stems. The initiation of shoot growth is postulated to be primarily regulated by a critical ratio of root-produced cytokinins, which accumulate in buds and by leaf-produced auxin, which decreases in synthesis and transport over time. Exogenously applied gibberellic acid (GA3) delays initiation of bud break but does not determine whether the resulting flush of growth is vegetative or reproductive. We tested the hypothesis that endogenous GA3, which influences release of these resting buds, may decrease in stem tips or leaves with increasing age of mango stems. GA3 and several other GAs in stem tip buds and leaves were identified and quantified in stems of different ages. The major endogenous GAs found in apical buds and leaves of vegetative mango stems were early 13-hydroxylation pathway gibberellins: GA1, epi-GA1, GA3, GA19, GA20, and GA29, as identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A novel but unidentified GA-like compound was also present. The most abundant GAs in apical stem buds were GA3 and GA19. Contrary to the hypothesis, the concentration of GA3 increased within buds with increasing age of the stems. The concentrations of other GAs in buds were variable. The concentration of GA3 did not change significantly with age in leaves, whereas that of most of the other GAs declined. GA1 levels were greatest in leaves of elongating shoots. These results are consistent with the concept that rapid shoot growth is associated with synthesis of GAs leading to GA1. The role of GA3 in delaying bud break in mango is not known, but it is proposed that it may enhance or maintain the synthesis or activity of endogenous auxin. It, thereby, maintains a high auxin/cytokinin ratio similar to responses to GA3 that maintain apical dominance in other plant species.  相似文献

Lateral buds of pea plants can be released from apical dominance and even be transformed into dominant shoots when repeatedly treated with synthetic exogenous cytokinins (CKs). The mechanism of the effect of CKs, however, is not clear. The results in this work showed that the stimulatory effects of CKs on the growth of lateral buds and the increase in their fresh weights in pea plants depended on the structure and concentration of the CKs used. The effect of N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N'-phenylurea (CPPU) was stronger than that of 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA). Indoleacetic acid (IAA) concentration in shoot, IAA export out of the treated apex and basipetal transport in stems were markedly increased after the application of CPPU or 6-BA to the apex or the second node of pea plant. This increase was positively correlated with the increased concentration of the applied CKs. These results suggest that the increased IAA synthesis and export induced by CKs application might be responsible for the growth of lateral shoots in intact pea plants.  相似文献

The role of gibberellins (GAs) during germination and early seedling growth is examined by following the metabolism and transport of radiolabeled GAs in cotyledon, shoot, and root tissues of pea (Pisum sativum L.) using an aseptic culture system. Mature pea seeds have significant endogenous GA20 levels that fall during germination and early seedling growth, a period when the seedling develops the capacity to transport GA20 from the cotyledon to the shoot and root of the seedling. Even though cotyledons at 0–2 days after imbibition have appreciable amounts of GA20, the cotyledons retain the ability to metabolize labeled GA19 to GA20 and express significant levels of PsGA20ox2 message (which encodes a GA biosynthesis enzyme, GA 20-oxidase). The large pool of cotyledonary GA20 likely provides substrate for GA1 synthesis in the cotyledons during germination, as well as for shoots and roots during early seedling growth. The shoots and roots express GA metabolism genes (PsGA3ox genes which encode GA 3-oxidases for synthesis of bioactive GA1, and PsGA2ox genes which encode GA 2-oxidases for deactivation of GAs to GA29 and GA8), and they develop the capacity to metabolize GAs as necessary for seedling establishment. Auxins also show an interesting pattern during early seedling growth, with higher levels of 4-chloro-indole-3-acetic acid (4-Cl-IAA) in mature seeds and higher levels of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in young root and shoot tissues. This suggests a changing role for auxins during early seedling development.  相似文献

Treatment of pollinated pea (Pisum sativum L. cv Alaska, line V1) ovaries with 3,5-dioxo-4-butyryl-cyclohexane carboxylic acid ethyl ester (LAB), an acylcyclohexanedione derivative that competitively inhibits 2-oxoglutarate-dependent gibberellin (GA) dioxygenases, caused a reduction of pod elongation proportional to the amount of inhibitor applied. The effect of LAB was counteracted by GA1 and GA3, and partially by GA20. The inhibitor decreased the contents of GA1 and GA3 (the purported active GAs) and GA8, increased those of GA19 and GA20, and did not affect that of GA29 in both the pod and the developing seeds. These results provide evidence that GA1 and/or GA3 control pod development in pea and show that GA20 is not active per se. In contrast to its effect on pollinated ovaries, LAB promoted parthenocarpic development of unpollinated ovaries, which is associated with an increase of GA1 and GA8 content. The inhibitor enhanced the response of unpollinated ovaries to GA1 and GA20, but it did not alter the response to GA3. LAB is proposed to promote parthenocarpic development and enhance the response to exogenous GAs by blocking the 2[beta]-hydroxylation of GA1 more efficiently than 3[beta]-hydroxylation of GA20.  相似文献

The pin1-1 mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana has been pivotal for studies on auxin transport and on the role of auxin in plant development. It was reported previously that when whole shoots were analysed, levels of the major auxin, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) were dramatically reduced in the mutant, compared with the WT (Okada et al. 1991). The cloning of PIN1, however, provided evidence that this gene encodes a facilitator of auxin efflux, raising the question of how the pin1-1 mutation might reduce overall IAA levels as well as IAA transport. We therefore re-examined IAA levels in individual parts of pin1-1 and WT plants, focusing on inflorescence stems. Our data show that there is in fact no systemic IAA deficiency in the mutant. The previously reported difference between mutant and WT may have been due to the inclusion of reproductive structures in the WT harvest: we show here that the inflorescence itself contains high levels of IAA. We reconcile the normal IAA levels of pin1-1 inflorescence stems with their (previously-reported) reduced ability to transport IAA by presenting evidence that the auxin in mutant stems is not imported from their apical portion. Our data also indicate that levels of another auxin, indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), are very low in stems of the genotypes used in this study.  相似文献

Maleic hydrazide (MH) and gibberellic acid (GA) were applied alone and in combination at various doses to dwarf and tall varieties of garden pea, and their effect on stem extension measured. Combinations of MH and 3-indolylacetic acid (IAA) were also studied. Stern extension of dwarf peas was accelerated by GA and inhibited by MH. Their effects were not additive, since MH reduced the response to GA at all concentrations of each tested. IAA did not affect stem extension, whether applied alone or in combination with MH. Stem extensions of tall peas was not affected by GA or IAA alone. MH severely inhibited growth and this inhibition was not reduced either by GA or by IAA. At low doses MH broke apical dominance and side branches developed; extension of these was stimulated by GA and IAA and extension of the main axis correspondingly still further reduced. The results show that MH prevents the response to GA of GA-sensitive plants. It is suggested that the rapid growth of tall peas, as compared with that of dwarfs, and their lack of response to GA, are due to a greater capacity to synthesize a 'GA-like hormone'. Growth of tall peas is much more drastically inhibited by MH than that of dwarf peas and the suggestion is made that the inhibition of shoot growth induced by MH is due primarily to blocking the activity of the postulated 'GA-like hormone'.  相似文献

Fruit-set of unpollinated ovaries of Pisum sativum L.   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The influence of removing the apical shoot and different leaves above and below the flower on the fruit-set of unpollinated pea ovaries (Pisum sativum L. cv. Alaska) has been studied. Unpollinated ovaries were induced to set and develop either by topping or by removing certain developing leaves of the shoot. Topping had a maximum effect when carried out before or on the day of anthesis, and up to four consecutive ovaries were induced to set in the same plant. The inhibition of fruit-set was due to the developing leaves and not to the apex. The third leaf above the first flower, which had a simultaneous development to the ovary, had the stronger inhibitory effect on parthenocarpic fruit-set. The application of different plant-growth regulators (indoleacetic acid, naphthylacetic acid, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, gibberellic acid, benzyladenine and abscisic acid) did not mimic the negative effect of the shoot.Abbreviations CCC (2-chloroethyl)trimethylammonium chloride - MH maleic hydrazide - IAA indole-3-acetic acid - NAA 1-naphthaleneacetic acid - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - GA3 gibberellic acid - 6-BAP benzyladenine - ABA abscisic acid  相似文献

The bushy mutant of pea ( Pisum sativum L.) is characterized by short, thin stems, very small leaves and profuse branching. The bushy phenotype is conferred by a dominant allele, termed bsh . Here we show that bushy plants contain lower levels of free indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) than wild-type (WT) plants. On emergence from the growth medium, bushy seedlings do not immediately display the mutant phenotype, and the effect of bsh on IAA content is small. After 10–14 days, the bushy phenotype begins to develop, and while the IAA content rises in WT plants, it falls in the mutant. The resulting difference in IAA level between WT and mutant can be up to 12-fold. Although there is a deficiency of free IAA in bushy plants, the total IAA content (including free and conjugated forms) was not reduced in comparison with the WT. Furthermore, in bushy plants, the level of the main IAA conjugate in pea, IAAsp, was not reduced to the same extent as that of IAA, and metabolism studies indicated that faster IAA deactivation might contribute to IAA deficiency in the mutant. Application of IAA to bushy plants did not result in a WT phenocopy. However, the short internodes and profuse branching of bushy plants is consistent with classical views on how IAA affects plant development.  相似文献

The transport of exogenous indol-3yl-acetic acid (IAA) from the apical tissues of intact, light-grown pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Alderman) shoots exhibited properties identical to those associated with polar transport in isolated shoot segments. Transport in the stem of apically applied [1-14C]-or [5-3H]IAA occurred at velocities (approx. 8–15 mm·h-1) characteristic of polar transport. Following pulse-labelling, IAA drained from distal tissues after passage of a pulse and the rate characteristics of a pulse were not affected by chases of unlabelled IAA. However, transport of [1-14C]IAA was inhibited through a localised region of the stem pretreated with a high concentration of unlabelled IAA or with the synthetic auxins 1-napthaleneacetic acid and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and label accumulated in more distal tissues. Transport of [1-14C]IAA was also completely prevented through regions of the intact stem treated with N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA) and 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid.Export of IAA from the apical bud into the stem increased with total concentration of IAA applied (labelled+unlabelled) but approached saturation at high concentrations (834 mmol·m-3). Transport velocity increased with concentration up to 83 mmol·m-3 IAA but fell again with further increase in concentration.Stem segments (2 mm) cut from intact plants transporting apically applied [1-14C]IAA effluxed 93% of their initial radioactivity into buffer (pH 7.0) in 90 min. The half-time for efflux increased from 32.5 to 103.9 min when 3 mmol·m-3 NPA was included in the efflux medium. Long (30 mm) stem sections cut from immediately below an apical bud 3.0 h after the apical application of [1-14C]IAA effluxed IAA when their basal ends, but not their apical ends, were immersed in buffer (pH 7.0). Addition of 3 mmol·m-3 NPA to the external medium completely prevented this basal efflux.These results support the view that the slow long-distance transport of IAA from the intact shoot apex occurs by polar cell-to-cell transport and that it is mediated by the components of IAA transmembrane transport predicted by the chemiosmotic polar diffusion theory.Abbreviations IAA indol-3yl-acetic acid - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - NAA 1-naphthaleneacetic acid - NPA N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid - TIBA 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid  相似文献

The role and source of gibberellins (GAs) involved in the development of parthenocarpic fruits of Pisum sativum L. has been investigated. Gibberellins applied to the leaf adjacent to an emasculated ovary induced parthenocarpic fruit development on intact plants. The application of gibberellic acid (GA3) had to be done within 1 d of anthesis to be fully effective and the response was concentration-dependent. Gibberellin A1 and GA3 worked equally well and GA20 was less efficient. [3H]Gibberellin A1 applied to the leaf accumulated in the ovary and the accumulation was related to the growth response. These experiments show that GA applied to the leaf in high enough concentration is translocated to the ovary. Emasculated ovaries on decapitated pea plants develop without application of growth hormones. When [3H] GA1 was applied to the leaf adjacent to the ovary a substantial amount of radioactivity accumulated in the growing shoot of intact plants. In decapitated plants, however, this radioactivity was mainly found in the ovary. There it caused growth proportional to the accumulation of CA1. Application of LAB 150978, an inhibitor of GA biosynthesis, to decapitated plants inhibited parthenocarpic fruit development and this inhibition was counteracted by the application of GA3 (either to the fruit, or the leaf adjacent to the ovary, or through the lower cut end of the stem). All evidence taken together supports the view that parthenocarpic pea fruit development on topped plants depends on the import of gibberellins or their precursors, probably from the vegetative aerial parts of the plant.Abbreviations FW flesh weight - GAn gibberellin An - HPLC high-performance liquid chromatography  相似文献

We investigated the role of gibberellins (GAs) in the effect of pat-2, a recessive mutation that induces facultative parthenocarpic fruit development in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) using near-isogenic lines with two different genetic backgrounds. Unpollinated wild-type Madrigal (MA/wt) and Cuarenteno (CU/wt) ovaries degenerated, but GA(3) application induced parthenocarpic fruit growth. On the contrary, parthenocarpic growth of MA/pat-2 and CU/pat-2 fruits, which occurs in the absence of pollination and hormone application, was not affected by GA(3). Pollinated MA/wt and parthenocarpic MA/pat-2 ovary development was negated by paclobutrazol, and this inhibitory effect was counteracted by GA(3). The main GAs of the early-13-hydroxylation pathway (GA(1), GA(3), GA(8), GA(19), GA(20), GA(29), GA(44), GA(53), and, tentatively, GA(81)) and two GAs of the non-13-hydroxylation pathway (GA(9) and GA(34)) were identified in MA/wt ovaries by gas chromatography-selected ion monitoring. GAs were quantified in unpollinated ovaries at flower bud, pre-anthesis, and anthesis. In unpollinated MA/pat-2 and CU/pat-2 ovaries, the GA(20) content was much higher (up to 160 times higher) and the GA(19) content was lower than in the corresponding non-parthenocarpic ovaries. The application of an inhibitor of 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases suggested that GA(20) is not active per se. The pat-2 mutation may increase GA 20-oxidase activity in unpollinated ovaries, leading to a higher synthesis of GA(20), the precursor of an active GA.  相似文献
