Higher flower bud formation in haploid tobacco is connected with higher peroxidase/IAA-oxidase activity,lower IAA content and ethylene production

Haploid tobacco plants (cv. Samsun) form inflorescences with a larger number of flowers than diploid plants. Leaves of haploid plants were shown to have lower free IAA level (by 40 %), higher peroxidase (by 160 %) and IAA-oxidase (by 70 %) activities and produce less ethylene (by 25 %) than leaves of corresponding diploid plants. The increase of peroxidase activity in haploids was due to the increase in the activity of the cathodic isozyme which is known to have high IAA-oxidase activity. It is proposed that higher peroxidase/IAA-oxidase activity in haploid plants may take part in IAA catabolism, at least duringin vitro culture of haploid explants. Lowered IAA level and ethylene production may then be directly correlated with a larger number of flower buds; as a higher IAA level is generally considered to act as a background inhibitor of flowering.     

Peroxidase and IAA Oxidase Activity and Isoenzyme Patterns in Cucumber Plants, as Affected by Sex Expression and Ethephon

Peroxidase and IAA-oxidase activity, electrophoretic patterns of total proteins and isoenzymes and the effect of Ethephon (= Ethrel, 2-chloroethane phosphonic acid) on these patterns were compared in extracts of monoecious and gynoecious cucumber plants. The activity of both peroxidase and IAA oxidase was greater in gynoecious than in monoecious plants. Ethephon treatments given at the 2-leaf stage increased peroxidase activity, especially in monoecious plants, and decreased IAA-oxidase activity. Ethephon treatment did not affect total protein or isoenzyme patterns, but increased band intensity, especially that of one band in monoecious plant extracts. No differences between monoecious and gynoecious plants were found in total protein, peroxidase and IAA-oxidase isoenzyme patterns. Peroxidase and IAA-oxidase activity sites on the gel were similar.     

Differences in Protein Synthesis and Peroxidase isoenzymes between recalcitrant and regenerating ProtoPlasts

The reasons for the inability of recalcitrant mesophyll protoplasts to divide and re-enter the cell cycle are unknown. Changes in protein profile, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)-oxidase and peroxidase activities, and isoenzymes were compared in protoplasts of recalcitrant grapcvine ( Vitis vinifera ) L. cv. Sultanina) and regenerating tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum ) L. cv. Xanthi). Using [³⁵S]-methionine. SDS-PAGE and two-dimensional separation of proteins, differences in protein profile during protoplast culture were assessed. The changes in the de novo synthesized proteins were both qualitative and quantitative between the two species. The number of proteins which changed was double in tobacco compared to grapevine protoplasts. Peroxidase and IAA-oxidase activities increased significantly in tobacco protoplasts during culture whereas in grapevine they remained low. In tobacco protoplasts. 3 and 7 basic and acidic peroxidases, respectively, were induced during protoplast culture. which were not detected in the intact leaf, whereas in grapevine no new peroxidases were induced during protoplast culture.     

洋桔梗体细胞胚性愈伤组织诱导过程中超氧化物歧化酶和酯酶变化

通过转移洋桔梗非胚性愈伤组织到含有1.0mg/L2,4-D的MS培养基(ecIM)上诱导了洋桔梗胚性愈伤组织形成,而非胚性愈伤组织在含1.0mg/L2,4-D和0.5mg/LKT的MS培养基(necSM)上继代培养。本研究比较分析了洋桔梗愈伤组织在ecIM和necSM上的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性及其同工酶酶谱、酯酶同工酶酶谱随着培养天数的变化。实验结果表明在ecIM和necSM上培养的洋桔梗愈伤组织的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性在培养早期较低,然后随着培养天数增加而升高,维持在较高水平上,但SOD活性变化无明显规律性;另一方面,SOD同工酶在第4天后出现一新的同工酶谱带;此外,在ecIM和necSM上培养洋桔梗愈伤组织的酯酶(EST)同工酶在培养至第16~20天期间呈现显著缺失。     

Alterations in surface-associated peroxidases during in vitro root development of explants of Linum usitatissimum

Hypocotyl explants of Linum usitatissimum were induced to form roots without an intermediate eallus phase by incubation on a defined medium. Loosely bound and ionically bound surface-associated proteins were extracted from the explants during root development by sequential vacuum infiltration using distilled water and 100 mM calcium chloride solution. The ionically extracted samples generally had higher peroxidase activity than the secreted samples, but both had reached maxima after 28 days culture. In contrast, the secreted samples were more able to oxidise indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) than the ionically-extracted samples. After 14 days culture the peroxidase and IAA-oxidase activities of the two samples were approximately equal, but by 35 days the secreted sample was twice as effective in oxidising IAA as the ionically extracted sample. The results suggest an accumulation of a loosely associated IAA-oxidase/peroxidase on the surfaces of the explants during root growth and development. Five anionic (A₁–A₅) and five cationic (C₁–C₅) isozymes were identified using non-denaturing PAGE. All five anionic isozymes were present throughout the development of roots and became more abundant from 14 days to 35 days culture. In contrast, root development was accompanied by a reduction in the levels of cationic isozymes that are characteristic of hypocotyl tissue. Two cationic isozymes (C₃ and C₄) were exclusively present during the early phases of root development (14 days) and the other three cationic isozymes were present at 14 days, dropped in abundance at 21 days and then recovered to higher levels after 35 days.The possible roles and consequence of these cationic isozymes and the significance of their removal from the explant surface during root development is discussed.Abbreviations NAA -naphthaleneacetic acid - IAA indole-3-acetic acid - TMB tetramethylbenzidine - o-D bar-dianisidine - SYR syringaldazine - MES 2[morpholino]ethane sulfonic acid - BSA Bovine Serum Albumin     

药用植物栝楼的组织培养及其表达蛋白的分析

对栝楼的快速繁殖、愈伤组织的诱导与再分化,以及不同培养体系中天花粉蛋白的表达进行了初步研究。结果表明：栝楼茎切段的腋芽和顶芽在MS+0.5、1.0mg/L 6-BA培养基上可以快速繁殖;组织培养苗的叶片切块在MS+4.0mg/L 6-BA +0.2mg/L IAA的培养基上可形成愈伤组织,该愈伤组织在30d后再分化为绿苗,绿苗分化率为0.25苗/外植体;绿苗转移至MS+0.1mg/L NAA的培养基可100%生根;生根苗移栽至土壤中100%成活;移栽成活的栝楼在30d后长出小块根,并检测到天花粉蛋白的表达。     

LaCl3对水稻幼苗生长 两种酶的活性及根尖细胞有丝分裂的影响

用不同浓度的LaCl3处理水稻种子,结果表明,当LaCl3浓度在0.1～1.0 mg/L时可提高发芽率,促进幼苗生长、根尖细胞有丝分裂指数明显上升,过氧化物酶和吲哚乙酸氧化酶活性下降。但随LaCl3浓度提高,则抑制幼苗生长,细胞有丝分裂减缓,两种酶活性均增加。且随浓度提高,其作用效果急剧加大。     

番茄离体培养过程中器官发生的细胞组织学观察

对番茄下胚轴、子叶、茎段、叶片、叶柄不同类型外植体离体培养中有关细胞启动、分裂、分化以及器官发生作了细胞组织学观察。研究结果表明番茄不同类型外植体在同样的培养条件下,愈伤组织生长表现出明显差异,其中下胚轴、子叶诱导产生愈伤组织时,细胞启动最早,生长最快,其分裂方式基本为无丝分裂,未见有丝分裂,因此我们认为以不定芽方式获得转基因植株时,植株的所有性状变化,是否纯属目的基因所为,应该反复考察,不能忽视不定芽产生过程中的种种变化;下胚轴诱导愈伤组织形成时,细胞不规则的无丝分裂少于子叶,故下胚轴离体培养得到的正常芽的比例高于子叶的;番茄离体培养中不定芽通常发生在愈伤组织的周边区,也可起源于维管组织结节周围的形成层状细胞。不定根则由茎中柱鞘处发生。     

Plant Development from Isolated Microspores of Oryza sativa L. ssp. indica Derived from the Anther Culture of F2 Hybrids of Photoperiod-Sensitive Male-Sterile Rice

Microspores from a highly anther culturable rice line (Oryza sativa L. spp. indica) derived from the anther culture of F2 hybrids of photoperiod-sensitive male-sterile rice, after 7 days of low temperature treatment and another 7 days of preculture within anthers, were isolated mmechanically. They were cultured in Ne medium containing 3% manitol, 6% sucrose, 5 g/L inositol, 100 mg/L serine, 800 mg/L glutamine, 1 000 mg/L L-proline, 10% (V/V) coconut milk and 2 mg/L, 2,4-D, and 1 mg/L kinetin. After 5 days, microspores initiated first division and subsequently developed into multicellular pollens and calli. Green plant could be recovered when compact calli were transferred onto agar-solidified MS medium containing 3% sucrose, 0.5 mg/L kinetin, 2 mg/L 6-BA and 1 mg/L IAA.     

Mesophyll Protoplast Culture and Plant Regeneration of Oriental Planetree (Platanus orientalis)

Large populations of mesophyll protoplasts were released from the leaves of 1.5–2 month old sterile seedlings, with a high protoplast yield (3.7× 10 6g-1FW) after protoplast purification. The purified protoplasts were cultured in a modified K8p liquid medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D, 1 mg/L NAA and 0.5 mg/L BA. Higher density (1× 106/ml) in the initial culture of protoplasts is favourable to the division of cultured mesophyll protoplasts of this woody species among the densities tested. The protoplasts started to divide after 6 days of culture, and achieved 26.8% division frequency by 14 days. Sustained divisions resulted in mass production of cell colonies and small calli in 8 weeks. The calli further grew to 2–3mm on the gelrite-solidified K8 medium supplemented with 0.2 mg/L NAA aud 0.5 mg/L BA. Then, they were transferred onto the MSB proliferation medium with 0.1 mg/L NAA and 0.25 mg/L BA, where compact and cream-coloured calli were formed. Shoot formation was initiated on MSB differentiation medium coraming 0.5 mg/L IAA, 1 mg/L each of BA and ZT. It was observed that the frequency of shoot formation was about 28.7%. Whole plantlets were regenerated upon transferring 3 cm shoots to 1/2MS medium with 0.5mg/L IBA and 0.1mg/L BA, from which they were already transplanted into pots and grew well in the phytotron of Shanghai Institute of Plant Physiology.

乙烯利对甘蔗分蘖期茎三种酶活性的影响及其与分蘖的关系

在分蘖前期喷施适宜浓度(100mg/L)乙烯利提高了蔗茎的过氧化物酶活性和IAA氧化酶的活性。用100mg/L乙烯利处理后,两个品种根部的过氧化物酶和IAA氧化酶活性明显高于上部的活性,并且比对照和400mg/L乙烯利处理的效果明显。乙烯利处理后新台糖16号上部节间的酸性转化酶活性始终高于下部节间的酶活性,其中100mg/L乙烯利处理下部节间的明显低于对照的;乙烯利处理后新台糖22号茎内的酸性转化酶活性也低于对照的,但与对照的差异相对比新台糖16号的小。     

Effect of manganese toxicity on the indoleacetic Acid oxidase system of cotton

The effect of substrate manganese on tissue manganese levels and activity of the indoleacetic acid (IAA)-oxidase system of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum, L.) was investigated. A sand culture technique was used with 1, 3, 9, 27 and 81 mg manganese (MnSO₄) per liter nutrient solution applied in various experiments.

The following relationships held for both long-term (126 days) and short-term (12-14 days) exposures to manganese treatment: A) There was a direct relationship between substrate and tissue manganese. B) Only the 81 mg/liter Mn plants exhibited severe manganese toxicity symptoms. C) At the toxic level of manganese an increased IAA-oxidase activity and decreased IAA-oxidase inhibitor activity was observed. There was a direct relationship between degree of enzyme response and severity of visible symptoms. D) With the manganese toxicity plants, but none of the other treatments, extracts of the young leaves contained as much IAA-oxidase activity as extracts of much older leaves. E) Crude extracts from the plants grown with 81 mg manganese per liter solution, in contrast to those of other treatments, destroyed IAA without addition of MnCl₂ to the assay medium.

A hypothesis is advanced stating that manganese toxicity symptoms in cotton are expressions of auxin deficiency caused by IAA-oxidase activity increased by the abnormal tissue levels of manganese.

     

Indoleacetic acid oxidase activity in main stem homogenates of flax genotrophs and genotypes

The IAA-oxidase and peroxidase capabilities along the length of the main stem tissues of two flax genotrophs L and S and two flax genotypes R and M were examined in vitro. Stem gradients for peroxidase activity increased basipetally in all plant types, as did IAA-oxidase activity gradients at non-rate-limiting concentrations of Mn²⁺. Correlations between peroxidase activity and non-rate-limited IAA-oxidase activity supported the contention of dual activities on the same molecule. At rate-limiting concentrations of Mn²⁺, IAA-oxidase activity did not correlate with peroxidase activity. Plant type differences were detected in rate-limited IAA-oxidase activity. This activity was higher in the stem region immediately above the cotyledons (axillary buds) of the more branched types, L and R, than in the sparsely branched types, S and M.

Plant regeneration from protoplasts of soybean (Glycine max L.)

Protoplasts were isolated from immature cotyledons of six cultivars of Glycine max L. and cultured in the KP8 liquid medium supplemented with 0.2 mg/L 2,4-D, 1 mg/L NAA and 0.5 mg/L ZT. The protoplasts started to divide after 3–5 days of culture. Sustained divisions resulted in mass production of cell colonies and small calli in 6 weeks. The calli further grew to 2–3 mm on the gelritesolidified K8 medium and were transferred onto the MSB medium with 1 mg/L 2,4-D and 0.25 mg/L BA, to obtain compact and nodular calli. Shoot formation was initiated on MSB medium with 0.15 mg/L NAA, and BA, KT and ZT, 0.5 mg/L of each, with or without 500 mg/L CH. It was followed by plant regeneration. So far, 87 plants have been regenerated from 4 cultivars, and normal seeds were obtained from them after transplanting into pots.Abbreviation IAA indol-3-acetic acid - NAA naphthalene acetic acid - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid - KT kinetin - BA 6-benzyladenine - ZT zeatin - CH casein hydrolysate     

Callus induction and plantlet regeneration from mature cotyledonary segments of groundnut (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Arachis hypogaea</Emphasis> L.)

We evaluated the efficiency of callus induction and plantlet regeneration from mature cotyledonary segments of groundnut cultivars VRI-2 and VRI-3. Callus cultures were induced from mature tissues using NAA and IAA in combination with KIN or BAP. Maximum induction was recorded with 3.0 mg/L IAA and 1.0 mg/L BAP. However, green, compact, and nodular calli were obtained in 2.5 mg/L of IAA or NAA combined with 1.0 mg/L of either BAP or KIN. Fresh and dry weights were highly influenced by auxin concentration. Compact and nodular calli were then transferred to shoot induction media. The highest mean number of shoots was observed in 3.0 mg/L BAP plus 0.5 mg/L IAA. Finally, the resulting plantlets were rooted with IBA and NAA.     

Peroxidase and IAA-oxidase in crude and partially purified enzyme extracts of growing and differentiating root cells

Crude enzyme extracts from the zones of division, elongation and differentiation of cells of primary maize (Zea mays) root show peroxidase activity but lack IAA-oxidase activity. After partial purification of the extracts by gel filtration on Sephadex G-25, the specific peroxidase activity increases almost twice and a high IAA-oxidase activity appears. The partial purification of the enzyme extracts does not change the electrophoretic pattern of the peroxidase isoenzymes, but significantly improves the separation and the visualization of isoenzymes with IAA-oxidase activity. The data obtained were interpreted in connection with the different modifying effect of the low molecular compounds (mainly phenolics) on the activity and the isoenzyme patterns of the peroxidase and the IAA-oxidase.     

Endogenous Hormonal Levels in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Scutellaria baicalensis</Emphasis> Calli Induced by Thidiazuron

Callusing was induced from three kinds of explants of Chinese medical plant Scutellaria baicalensis with thidiazuron (TDZ) as an exogenous growth regulator. Multiple shoots were formed from these calli on hormone-free media. Calli induced by 0.3 mg/l TDZ produced shoots directly on the induction medium after culturing for 30–40 days without any interval, while at a higher concentrations of TDZ (1.0, 2.0, and 5.0 mg/l), regeneration occurred only after transfer to hormone-free medium. Endogenous hormones were detected by reverse-phase HPLC-MS and ELISA. The higher TDZ concentrations decreased endogenous benzyladenine (BA) and IAA levels, while iPA and ZR levels and their ratios to IAA were not correlated with TDZ concentrations, growth of calli, or plant regeneration. BA was the dominant cytokinin during calli growth and bud formation, 10 000-fold more abundant than iPA and ZR. Moreover, low IAA/BA ratio, rather than low IAA or high cytokinin levels alone, is the most important factor for shoot formation by calli. TDZ might act indirectly by changing endogenous hormonal levels, most likely the IAA/BA ratio which controls the calli growth and bud formation.__________From Fiziologiya Rastenii, Vol. 52, No. 3, 2005, pp. 392–398.Original English Text Copyright © 2005 by Zhang, Li, Mao, Zhao, Dong, Guo.This article was submitted by the authors in English.
