During investigations of their metabolism fragments of plant tissue are most commonly incubated in watery solutions in order to replace the conditions within the intact organ approximately. — This paper reports experiments performed to investigate the influence of a hypotonic medium on several parameters of importance in cell metabolism (protein synthesis, enzymatic activity, concentrations of metabolic intermediates, respiration and cell division). — It could be shown that protein synthesis is severely inhibited in hypotonically exposed potato tuber discs. As a consequence the activities of two dehydrogenases of the pentose phosphate shunt (glucose-6-phosphate- and 6-phosphogluconate-dehydrogenase) are very low as compared with tissue in air. Since the activated pentose shunt evidently contributes to the respiratory reaction after derepression of the tissue, lowered activities of these dehydrogenases must consequently result in lower respiratory activity. This is actually realized in washed tissue. Likewise the mitotic activity is inhibited to a considerable extent. — The destruction of permeability barriers within the cell as a consequence of slicing causes leakage of a variety of metabolites such as glucose, glucose-6-phosphate, fructose-6-phosphate and pyruvate. Thus leaching of metabolic active substances is certainly one of the causal factors in the complex reaction of tissue slices exposed to a hypotonic medium, although such important parameters as changed gas conditions and the various effects of altered hydration of cell cytoplasm must be considered. 相似文献

The effects of natural growth inhibitors in potato tuber periderm on respiration were studied. The following results are presented in this paper: 1. The respiratory rate of potato tuber slices increased by application of inhibitors at concentration suppressing the growth of wheat coleoptile sections. This fraction of respiration induced by inhibitors was insensitive to DNP. According to inhibiting ex- periments with iodoacetic acid, malonic acid and KCN, it seems that this induced respiration is mediated by the EMP-TCA pathway and the CN-sensitive electron transfer chain. 2. The effects of various growth regulators on respiration are different depending on whether they are used in single or in combination. When the endogenous inhibitors at Rf 0.4—0.8 plus IAA or GA were studied, the inhibitors induced respiration rise was partially reduced by IAA, but completely depressed by GA. It seems reasonable to consider that the manner and the site of action of various growth zegulators on, respiration are not same. 相似文献

Actinomycin D prevents the full development in a 24-hour period of both wound respiration and cyanide resistance only when given in the first 10 to 12 hours following the cutting of potato tuber ( Solanum tuberosum var. Russet) slices. The capacity for choline incorporation into phosphatidylcholine increases with slice aging and is inhibited by actinomycin D in the same time-restricted way. The time-restricted effectiveness of actinomycin D applies to the cutting-elicited enhanced synthesis of three critical enzymes of phosphatidylcholine synthesis, namely phosphorylcholine-glyceride transferase, phosphorylcholine-cytidyl transferase, and phosphatidylphosphatase. By contrast, actinomycim D given at any time is without effect on the measurable levels after 24 hours of a selection of glycolytic and mitochondrial respiratory enzymes. Neither succinic dehydrogenase nor cytochrome oxidase activity increases with time in aging potato slices in the presence or absence of chloramphenicol. The foregoing observations emphasize the central role of phospholipid, and ultimately membrane biosynthesis, in the development of wound-induced respiration. 相似文献

Incubation of potato tuber tissue discs on B5 medium supplemented with 1-naphtyl-acetic acid (NAA) led to callus formation, irrespective of the presence of kinetin; without NAA no callus formation occurred. Incubation in the presence of abscisic acid (ABA) reduced the increases in fresh weight and dry weight both in callus-forming and in non-callus-forming tissue. Mitochondrial respiration was lowered by ABA as well. The induction of the alternative, CN-resistant pathway was inhibited by the presence of ABA, especially in mitochondria from non-callus-forming tissue.The in vivo respiration of the callus-forming tissue was higher than that of the non-callus-forming tissue. Total respiration, cytochrome pathway activity and the capacity of the alternative pathway were all lowered in callus-forming tissue by treatment with ABA. The in vivo activity of the alternative pathway was low in all tissue types, especially after ABA-treatment. The slight stimulation by hydroxamates of the oxygen uptake of callus-forming tissue incubated on medium with NAA and ABA indicates the involvement of a hydroxamate-activated peroxidase in the oxygen uptake of this tissue; this peroxidase seemed not to participate in the oxygen uptake of the other tissues types.In non-callus-forming tissue the oxygen uptake of ABA-treated tissue was very low and almost completely resistant to the combined addition of inhibitors of both the cytochrome and the alternative pathway, indicating that the in vivo activity of the mitochondria in the oxygen uptake of the tissue was very low. The possible causes for this ABA-effect are discussed. In non-callus-forming tissue the treatment with ABA creates a situation which is comparable with that observed in intact potato tubers. This situation is characterized by a tissue respiration lower than that of the isolated mitochondria and an alternative pathway capacity that is low or absent. 相似文献

The respiration of fresh potato slices was sensitive to CN-, and was not inhibited by m-CLAM in the presence or absence of CN-. By contrast, the wound-induced respiration of slices, incubated in air for 24 hours, was not only relatively resistant to CN-, but also markedly inhibited by m-CLAM in the presence or absence of CN-. When m-CLAM and CN- were added togather, the inhibitory effect was higher than that of them when used separately. The observations indicated that the alternate path is operative in aged potato slices. The data determined by the method of m-CLAM titration showed that the actual contribution of alternate path and cytochrome path in aged potato slices was approximately 28% and 54% of the total respiration respectively in the absence of CN-. When the cytochrome path was inhibited by CN-, the maximal capacity of alternate path (Valt was higher than the actual contribution of them (ρ·Valt). The increased contribution of alternate path in presence of CN- might be thought to indicate that there is a diversion of electron flux from the cytochrome path to the alternate path. When the respiratory flux of aged slices was reduced by treatment with iodoacetate and malonate, the proportions of respiration inhibited by CN- and m-CLAM respectively were not changed. 相似文献

A seven fold increase in the rate of respiratory O2 uptake was observed 24 h after slicing of potato tuber disks. The maximum activity of pyrophosphate:fructose-6-phosphate phosphotransferase (PFP) was 5-7 times greater than that of ATP-dependent phosphofructokinase (PFK) in fresh or aged potato slices. Thus, PFP may participate in glycolysis which supplies respiratory substrate in potato tubers. The PFP activity of desalted extracts determined in the absence of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (F2,6BP) increased by 4.5 fold 24 h after slicing. However, maximal PFP activity determined with saturating (1 microM) F2,6BP was not changed. The Ka values of PFP for F2,6BP was lowered from 33 to 7 nM after 24 h of aging treatment. This increased susceptibility of the PFP activity to its allosteric activator, F2,6BP, may be involved in the increased respiration in wounded disks of potato tubers. Immunoblotting experiments indicated that both the alpha (66 kDa) and the beta (60 kDa) subunits of PFP were present in fresh or 24 h aged tuber slices. 相似文献

The 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex constitutes a mitochondrially localized tricarboxylic acid cycle multienzyme system responsible for the conversion of 2-oxoglutarate to succinyl-coenzyme A concomitant with NAD(+) reduction. Although regulatory mechanisms of plant enzyme complexes have been characterized in vitro, little is known concerning their role in plant metabolism in situ. This issue has recently been addressed at the cellular level in nonplant systems via the use of specific phosphonate inhibitors of the enzyme. Here, we describe the application of these inhibitors for the functional analysis of the potato (Solanum tuberosum) tuber 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. In vitro experiments revealed that succinyl phosphonate (SP) and a carboxy ethyl ester of SP are slow-binding inhibitors of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, displaying greater inhibitory effects than a diethyl ester of SP, a phosphono ethyl ester of SP, or a triethyl ester of SP. Incubation of potato tuber slices with the inhibitors revealed that they were adequately taken up by the tissue and produced the anticipated effects on the in situ enzyme activity. In order to assess the metabolic consequences of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex inhibition, we evaluated the levels of a broad range of primary metabolites using an established gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method. We additionally analyzed the rate of respiration in both tuber discs and isolated mitochondria. Finally, we evaluated the metabolic fate of radiolabeled acetate, 2-oxoglutarate or glucose, and (13)C-labeled pyruvate and glutamate following incubation of tuber discs in the presence or absence of either SP or the carboxy ethyl ester of SP. The data obtained are discussed in the context of the roles of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex in respiration and carbon-nitrogen interactions. 相似文献

Mitochondria isolated from various plant tissues (leaves, etiolated shoots and hypocotyls, and stem tubers) oxidize exogenous NADPH with respiratory control values and ADP:O ratios similar to those obtained with exogenous NADH as substrate. In all the mitochondria investigated, the electron-transfer inhibitors rotenone and amytal each had the same effect on the oxidation of NADPH as they had on the oxidation of NADH. The oxidation of exogenous NADPH by white potato tuber mitochondria was much more sensitive to inhibition by citrate or ethylene glycol bis-(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N-tetraacetic acid than was the oxidation of NADH. Mitochondria isolated from aged beetroot slices showed an increased capacity for the oxidation of exogenous NADH (compared with mitochondria from fresh tissue) but no such increase in the capacity to oxidize exogenous NADPH. These results suggest that exogenous NADPH and NADH are oxidized via different flavoproteins in plant mitochondria. 相似文献

The respiration of fresh sweet potato ( Ipomoea batatas) slices is resistant to, and often stimulated by, cyanide and antimycin A. m-Chlorobenzhydroxamic acid (CLAM), a selective inhibitor of the alternate path, inhibits respiration in the presence of cyanide and has a limited inhibitory effect in the presence of antimycin A. Thus, a partial bypass of the antimycinsensitive site is indicated. Respiration rises 2-fold at best with slice aging, the increment being cytochrome-mediated. The cyanide-resistant pathway contributes neither to coupled fresh slice respiration nor to the induced respiration in the absence of inhibitors of the cytochrome path. In the presence of uncoupler, however, the alternate path is engaged both in fresh and aged slices. V cyt, the maximal capacity of the cytochrome path, remains essentially the same with slice aging, whereas V alt decreases from 20 to 60 per cent. The induced respiration is readily accommodated by the potential cytochrome path capacity of fresh slices, which is realized on aging. Accordingly, there is no need to invoke mitochondrial proliferation in explanation of the development of the induced respiration. The engagement of the alternate path in response to uncoupler reflects substrate mobilization to a degree that substrate oxidation exceeds the electron transport capacity of the cytochrome path. Fresh slices do not utilize exogenous substrates, whereas aged slices do so readily. Cerulenin, a specific inhibitor of fatty acid synthesis, prevents the development of the induced respiration as well as the capacity to oxidize exogenous substrates. It is suggested that lipid, and ultimately membrane, biosynthesis is central to the development of the induced respiration and the ability to use exogenous substrates, much as in potato. 相似文献

Ethanol, when added to the incubation medium of callus-forming potato tuber discs, inhibits callus growth and causes an increase of the mitochondrial antimycin-A resistant respiration, expressed as a percentage of state III-respiration. This increase in resistance to antimycin-A is the result of a poor development of the cytochrome pathway in tissue discs treated with ethanol. The development of the antimycin-A resistant alternative oxidase sensitive to chelator is about the same for treated and untreated discs. The respiratory control (RC) ratio of the mitochondrial respiration increases after addition of a chelator, which inhibits the alternative pathway. The RC ratio of the uninhibited mitochondrial respiration appears to be inversely related to the capacity of the alternative pathway, when mitochondrial preparations with different capacities to transfer electrons via the alternative path are compared. From the experimentally observed relation between RC-ratio and alternative oxidase capacity, it was concluded that at least half of the capacity of the alternative path is used in uninhibited state IV respiration. 相似文献

The growth (fresh and dry weight increase) of potato tuber ( Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Bintje) callus discs was stimulated by incubation in air with 500 ppm 2,5-norbornadiene (NBD, a competitive inhibitor of ethylene action) and inhibited by incubation in air with 4 000 ppm NBD. Ethylene formation by the callus was stimulated by NBD. The development of the alternative pathway, measured in isolated mitochondria was inhibited by NBD in a concentration-dependent way. The alternative pathway capacity, measured in vivo, was inhibited by 4 000 ppm NBD, but not by 500 ppm. Uninhibited in vivo respiration, which consists of cytochrome path activity and alternative path activity, was stimulated by the treatment with 500 ppm NBD. The main contribution to this stimulation was made by the cytochrome pathway. In 4 000 ppm NBD-treated callus, uninhibited respiration seemed to be unaffected as a consequence of an inhibited cytochrome path activity, which was compensated by a stimulated alternative path activity. Both in 500 and 4 OIK) ppm NBD-treated callus the alternative path activity in vivo was stimulated. The regulatory role for endogenous ethylene in potato tuber callus is discussed in relation to: 1) The induction of respiratory pathways, 2) the supply of reduction equivalents in vivo and 3) growth. 相似文献

Potato tuber ( Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Bintje) callus shows a decrease in fresh weight and an increase in dry weight upon transfer to nutrient medium supplemented with 0.3 or 0.5 M mannitol. The osmolarity of the intracellular fluid increases simultaneously. Probably mannitol is taken up from the medium till the osmolarity of the tissue is in equilibrium with that of the medium. After osmotic adaptation, on a medium with 0.5 M mannitol, growth is negligible, although the tissue retains its viability. Respiration increases upon transfer to medium with extra mannitol, especially when expressed on a fresh weight basis. On this basis cytochrome and alternative pathway capacities do not change appreciably. The respiratory increase is exclusively caused by an increased engagement of the alternative pathway. The participation of this pathway in uninhibited respiration increases from about 10 to 90% upon transfer to medium with extra mannitol. The increase in respiration is partly correlated with the decrease in fresh weight upon transfer. Per disc, the capacities of the cytochrome and alternative pathway decline. Yet, total respiration per disc significantly increases due to the increased participation of the alternative pathway. This results in an almost equal ATP-production per disc before and after transfer. We suggest, that the alternative pathway functions as a reserve capacity in potato callus, which is switched on when ATP-production coupled to the cytochrome pathway is impaired. 相似文献

A study of a variety of bulky storage organs and fruits reveals that fresh slices fall into two categories with respect to their sensitivity to CN. Fresh slices in the first class are CN-sensitive, whereas slices of the second class are resistant to, and often stimulated by, CN. In tissue slices which are initially CN-sensitive, cutting initiates a burst of lipolytic activity. In CN-resistant fresh slices, there is no measurable lipid breakdown.Slicing evokes the wound-respiration which is 5- to 10-fold that of the parent organ. Slice aging, in turn, evokes a further 2- to 3-fold respiratory increase, the wound-induced respiration, whether fresh slice respiration is CN-sensitive or -resistant. Estimation of the contribution by the cytochrome and alternative paths shows that the wound respiration in both groups is mediated by the cytochrome path. On the other hand, the wound-induced respiration in the first class is cytochrome path mediated, whereas, in some members of the second group, both pathways are utilized. Uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation elicit a CN-sensitive increment in fresh slices as great or greater than the wound-induced respiration. Accordingly, de novo synthesis of mitochondria is ruled out as an explanation of the latter.The integrity of endomembranes, perhaps including mitochondrial membranes, is seemingly a prerequisite for the operation of the alternative path, that is, alternative path activity is lost concomitantly with membrane lipid breakdown. The development of the wound-induced respiration is not co-extensive with the development of the CN-resistant path in all tissue slices. The fundamental process of aging appears to involve activation of pre-existing respiratory capacity.Fresh slices from whatever source fail to utilize exogenous (14)C-labeled glucose, whereas aged slices do so readily. A transport lesion is indicated, the healing of which does not depend on the development of the wound-induced respiration but does depend on fatty acid, and presumably membrane lipid, biosynthesis. 相似文献

The uninhibited respiration of mitochondria, isolated from potato tuber discs ( Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Bintje) incubated on a callus-inducing medium at 28°C, is higher than that of mitochondria from tissue incubated at 8°C. This respiration is composed of a CN-sensitive and a CN-resistant part. The capacity of the CN-resistant alternative oxidase pathway is larger in mitochondria from 28°C tissue than in mitochondria from 8°C tissue (35% and 8% of uninhibited respiration, respectively). The alternative pathway is operative both in mitochondria from 28°C tissue and 8°C tissue. The observed difference in uninhibited respiration, is not only caused by lower values of respiration via the alternative pathway in mitochondria from 8°C tissue, but also by lower values of respiration via the cytochrome pathway. A positive correlation has been demonstrated between the incubation temperature (ranging from 4-37°C) and the relative capacity of respiration via alternative pathway in the mitochondria. Induction of alternative pathway is not directly correlated with growth (in terms of increase in fresh weight) of the potato tuber discs. 相似文献

The respiration of fresh slices of preclimacteric avocado ( Persea americana Mill. var. Hass) and banana ( Musa cavendishii var. Valery) fruits is stimulated by cyanide and antimycin. The respiration is sensitive to m-chlorobenzhydroxamic acid in the presence of cyanide but much less so in the presence of antimycin. In the absence of cyanide the contribution of the cyanide-resistant pathway to the coupled preclimacteric respiration is zero. In uncoupled slices, by contrast, the alternate path is engaged and utilized fully in avocado, and extensively in banana. Midclimacteric and peak climacteric slices are also cyanide-resistant and, in the presence of cyanide, sensitive to m-chlorobenzhydroxamic acid. In the absence of uncoupler there is no contribution by the alternate path in either tissue. In uncoupled midclimacteric avocado slices the alternate path is fully engaged. Midclimacteric banana slices, however, do not respond to uncouplers, and the alternate path is not engaged. Avocado and banana slices at the climacteric peak neither respond to uncouplers nor utilize the alternate path in the presence or absence of uncoupler. The maximal capacities of the cytochrome and alternate paths, Vcyt and Valt, respectively, have been estimated in slices from preclimacteric and climacteric avocado fruit and found to remain unchanged. The total respiratory capacity in preclimacteric and climacteric slices exceeds the respiratory rise which attends fruit ripening. In banana Valt decreases slightly with ripening. The aging of thin preclimacteric avocado slices in moist air results in ripening with an accompanying climacteric rise. In this case the alternate path is fully engaged at the climacteric peak, and the respiration represents the total potential respiratory capacity present in preclimacteric tissue. The respiratory climacteric in intact avocado and banana fruits is cytochrome path-mediated, whereas the respiratory climacteric of ripened thin avocado slices comprises the alternate as well as the cytochrome path. The ripening of intact fruits is seemingly independent of the nature of the electron transport path. Uncouplers are thought to stimulate glycolysis to the point where the glycolytic flux exceeds the oxidative capacity of the cytochrome path, with the result that the alternate path is engaged. 相似文献

Several aspects of wound healing in tuber tissue of potato (Solanum tuberosum var. Kennebec), known to require protein synthesis, are inhibited by 2,4-dichlorobenzyltributylphosphonium chloride (Phosphon D). Cell division was completely blocked by 60 mum Phosphon and markedly reduced by concentrations as low as 3 mum. When applied at the time of wounding, 0.25mm Phosphon completely prevented the wound-induced respiratory increase. Application at 15 hours after wounding arrested respiration at the rate present at that time. The same concentrations of Phosphon inhibited auxin-induced cell expansion of the tissue, protein synthesis as measured by the incorporation of leucine-(14)C into the trichloroacetic acid-insoluble fraction of tissue disks, and the appearance of wound-induced peroxidase isozymes. None of these inhibitory effects of Phosphon could be prevented or reversed by the application of gibberellic acid. All wound-induced processes inhibited by Phosphon are also inhibited by cycloheximide. It is suggested that inhibitory effects of Phosphon on wound healing in potato and on other developmental processes in excised plant tissues which cannot be reversed by gibberellin are due to interference with protein synthesis. 相似文献

The in planta induction of anaerobic nitrate respiration by Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica in relation to the in situ oxygen status in soft rotting potato tubers has been investigated. In vitro experiments have shown that nitrate was required for the induction of respiratory nitrate reductase activity in E. carotovora. In addition, oxygen was found to repress this activity. Expression of respiratory nitrate reductase was found in E. carotovora cells extracted from soft rotting potato tuber tissue. However, the rate of nitrite production in these cells was approximately 70-fold lower than the rate recorded in fully induced anaerobic cultures. Oxygen measurements in soft rotting potato tubers indicated that the invading bacteria encounter the lowest oxygen concentration at the interphase between healthy and macerated tissue. Consequently, growth of bacteria present in this specific zone will be stimulated by nitrate which is present in sufficient amounts in tuber tissue. A high nitrate content of the tuber will most likely facilitate the proliferation of E. carotovora in the tuber tissue. 相似文献
