Root growth and statocyte polarity in lentil seedling roots grown in microgravity or on a slowly rotating clinostat 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The ability of clinostats to simulate microgravity was evaluated by comparing lentil ( Lens culinnrias L. cv. Verte du Puy) seedlings grown in space (Spacelab D1 Mission) with seedlings grown on a slowly rotating elinostat. Seeds were germinated and incubated for 25.5 h at 22°C (1) in microgravity, (2) on a 1g-centrifuge in space. (3) on a slowly rotating elinostat and (4) on the ground. Morphological (root length and orientation) and ultrastructural (distribution of amyloplasts, location of the nucleus in statocytes) parameters were studied. For clinostat experiments, two different configurations were employed: the longitudinal axis of the root was parallel (horizontal elinorotation) or perpendicular (vertical elinorotation) to the axis of rotation. the same configurations were used for the lg-controls. Root length and orientation were similar for roots grown on the clinostat and in microgravity. The amyloplasts were identically distributed in statocytes of horizontally clinorolated roots and in statocytes differentiated in microgravity. However, the location of the nucleus was similar in vertically rotated roots and microgravity samples. Since the involvement of the nucleus in graviperception is not known, it can be concluded that horizontal clinorotation simulates microgravity better than vertical elinorotation. 相似文献

Primary roots of 98 species from different families of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants and adventitious roots obtained from bulbs and rhizomes of 24 monocot species were studied. Root growth rate, root diameter, length of the meristem and elongation zones, number of meristematic cells in a file of cortical cells, and length of fully elongated cells were evaluated in each species after the onset of steady growth. The mitotic cycle duration and relative cell elongation rate were calculated. In all species, the meristem length was approximately equal to two root diameters. When comparing different species, the rate of root growth increased with a larger root diameter. This was due to an increase in the number of meristematic cells in a row and, to a lesser degree, to a greater length of fully elongated cells. The duration of the mitotic cycle and the relative cell elongation rate did not correlate with the root diameter. It is suggested that the meristem size depends on the level of nutrient inflow from upper tissues, and is thereby controlled during further growth. 相似文献

Organization of tubulin cytoskeleton in epidermis and cortex cells in different root growth zones in Brassica rapa L. 6-day-old seedlings under clinorotation has been investigated. It was shown that changes in cortical microtubules orientation occur only in the distal elongation zone. In control, cortical microtubule arrays oriented transversely to the root long axis. Whereas under clinorotation an appearance of shorter randomly organized cortical microtubules was observed. Simultaneously, a significant decrease in a cell length in the central elongation zone under clinorotation was revealed. It is suggested that the decline of anisotropic growth, typical for central elongation zone cells, is connected with cortical microtubules disorientation under clinorotation. 相似文献

Using confocal microscopy the organization of tubulin cytoskeleton including endoplasmic and cortical microtubules (CMTs) has been studied in epidermal and cortical cells of the different growth zones of main root of Brassica rapa L. 6-days-old seedlings in control conditions and under clinorotation. It was shown that changes in CMTs orientation occured only in the distal elongation zone (DEZ). In the control, CMT arrays oriented transversely to the root long axis. Under clinorotation appearance of the shorter randomly organized CMTs was observed. Simultaneously, a significant decrease in the cell length in the central elongation zone (CEZ) under clinorotation was detected. It is suggested that the decline of anisotropic growth typical for CEZ cells is connected with CMTs disorientation under clinorotation. 相似文献

The effect of the slow rotating clinostat (1 rpm) on the growth of the primary root was studied on Brassica napus seedlings. After 5 d in darkness, the primary root was longer and thinner in seedlings grown on the clinostat than in seedlings grown in the vertical position. However, the breakdown of lipid reserves, sucrose level and transport of 14C-labeled sucrose from the cotyledons to the primary root, were not altered by growth on the clinostat. Moreover, the activity of isocitrate lyase, one of the two enzymes necessary for the conversion of lipids into glucids also was also not modified in the cotyledons of clinorotated seedlings. Thus, there was clear evidence that clinorotation had a direct effect on the growth of the primary root that was independent of the mobilisation of lipid reserves in the cotyledons. As a sink, the primary root had the same strength on the clinostat as in the vertical position, but the reserves were used in a different way. The increase in root elongation on the clinostat could be due to the slight, but continuous, omnilateral gravitropic stimulation due to the rotation of the seedlings about a horizontal axis. 相似文献

The anatomy, cytoskeleton orientation, and thickness of the cell wall of the root growth zones generated de novo in vitro under clinorotation (simulated microgravity) were studied. The anatomical structure of the roots generated de novo from the cambium cells of the leaf explant petiole is similar to the structure of embryonic roots. The root cell differentiation in vitro during the clinorotation does not differ from the control in main features. Changes in the tubulin cytoskeleton orientation under clinorotation were detected in the epidermis of distal elongation zone (that is apparently associated with specific physiological properties of the cells in this zone). A tendency towards the thinning of the root cell walls in vitro under conditions of simulated microgravity was established. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Phaseolus vulgaris L. seed germination and seedling root anatomy were investigated on a slowly rotating clinostat in 1g. Clinostat rotating seeds were oriented as follows: the first group with the longer axis parallel to the rotation pole (horizontal), the other with the longer axis normal to the rotation pole with due attention to the position of the root apex primordium in the dry seeds (vertical). Germination time, percent germination and curvature of developing roots were monitored. Furthermore, the anatomy of the root apex was quantitatively analysed. Seeds placed on the clinostat germinated earlier than controls, and columella cells of roots developed while rotating lost the strict polarity with the nucleus positioned near the proximal periclinal cell wall and amyloplasts sedimented on the distal periclinal wall. Irrespective of seed orientation on the rotation axis, loss of cell polarity occurred as well as a decrease in starch content, modification in cell size, and damage to statocytes whose walls appeared partially digested. Cell size in the elongation zone was also larger in roots rotating on the clinostat than in controls, both in vertically and horizontally placed specimens. Our results demonstrate that prolonged rotation has an effect on the statocyte that continuously perceives gravity from ever-changing directions, although this effect is irrespective of seed position on the rotating axis in P. vulgaris. 相似文献

The effects of simulated microgravity conditions produced by a horizontal clinostat on the entire life cycle of Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Columbia and Landsberg erecta were studied. Horizontal clinorotation affected little germination of seeds, growth and development of rosette leaves and roots during early vegetative growth stage, and the onset of the bolting of inflorescence axis and flower formation in reproductive growth stage, although it suppressed elongation of inflorescence axes. The clinorotation substantially reduced the numbers of siliques and seeds in Landsberg erecta, and completely inhibited seed production in Columbia. Seeds produced in Landsberg erecta on the clinostat were capable of germinating and developing rosette leaves normally on the ground. On the other hand, growth of pin formed mutant (pin/pin) of Arabidopsis ecotype Enkheim, which has a unique structure of inflorescence axis with no flower and extremely low levels of auxin polar transport activity, was inhibited and the seedlings frequently died during vegetative stage on the clinostat. Seed formation and inflorescence growth of the seedlings with normal shape (pin/+ or +/+) were also suppressed on the clinostat. These results suggest that the growth and development of Arabidopsis, especially in reproductive growth stage, is suppressed under simulated microgravity conditions on a clinostat. To complete the life cycle probably seems to be quite difficult, although it is possible in some ecotypes. 相似文献

Lentil seedlings were grown for 28 h in space, on board Spacelab (IML 1 Mission) and growth of the primary root was analysed. The length of cortical cells was less in near weightlessness than on the 1 g centrifuge (flight control) and mitotic index was lower but there was no apparent perturbation in the mitosis. To further investigate which phase of cell cycle was modified, densitometric analysis of nuclear DNA content in cortical cells was carried out by the mean of an image processing system (SAMBA). In microgravity there was a decrease in DNA synthesis and a promotion of the arrest in the G2 phase of cell cycle. These results, and other ones obtained elsewhere on a slowly rotating clinostat, led us to think that in microgravity the perturbation of the gravisensing cells and/or the absence of convection could account for the modification of cell growth registered in the primary root. 相似文献

The morphometry of the root system, the meristematic activity and the level of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), abscisic acid (ABA) and zeatin in the primary root tips of rapeseed seedlings were analyzed as functions of time on a slowly rotating clinostat (1 rpm) or in the vertical controls (1 rpm). The fresh weight of the root system was 30% higher throughout the growth period (25 days) in clinorotated seedlings. Morphometric analysis showed that the increase in biomass on the clinostat was due to greater primary root growth, earlier initiation and greater elongation of the secondary roots, which could be observed even in 5-day-old seedlings. However, after 15 days, the growth of the primary root slowed on the clinostat, whereas secondary roots still grew faster in clinorotated plants than in the controls. At this time, the secondary roots began to be initiated closer to the root tip on the clinostat than in the control. Analysis of the meristematic activity and determination of the levels in IAA, ABA and zeatin in the primary root tips demonstrated that after 5 days on the clinostat, the increased length of the primary root could be the consequence of higher meristematic activity and coincided with an increase in both IAA and ABA concentrations. After 15 days on the clinostat, a marked increase in IAA, ABA and zeatin, which probably reached supraoptimal levels, seems to cause a progressive disturbance of the meristematic cells, inducing a decrease of primary root growth between 15 and 25 days. These modifications in the hormonal balance and the perturbation of the meristematic activity on the clinostat were followed by a loss of apical dominance, which was responsible for the early initiation of secondary roots, the greater elongation of the root system and the emergence of the lateral roots near the tip of the primary root. 相似文献

The actin cytoskeleton has been proposed to be a major player in plant gravitropism. However, understanding the role of actin in this process is far from complete. To address this problem, we conducted an analysis of the effect of Latrunculin B (Lat B), a potent actin-disrupting drug, on root gravitropism using various parameters that included detailed curvature kinetics, estimation of gravitropic sensitivity, and monitoring of curvature development after extended clinorotation. Lat B treatment resulted in a promotion of root curvature after a 90 degrees reorientation in three plant species tested. More significantly, the sensitivity of maize (Zea mays) roots to gravity was enhanced after actin disruption, as determined from a comparison of presentation time of Lat B-treated versus untreated roots. A short 10-min gravistimulus followed by extended rotation on a 1-rpm clinostat resulted in extensive gravitropic responses, manifested as curvature that often exceeded 90 degrees. Application of Lat B to the cap or elongation zone of maize roots resulted in the disruption of the actin cytoskeleton, which was confined to the area of localized Lat B application. Only roots with Lat B applied to the cap displayed the strong curvature responses after extended clinorotation. Our study demonstrates that disrupting the actin cytoskeleton in the cap leads to the persistence of a signal established by a previous gravistimulus. Therefore, actin could function in root gravitropism by providing a mechanism to regulate the proliferation of a gravitropic signal originating from the cap to allow the root to attain its correct orientation or set point angle. 相似文献

Roots of Pisum sativum were exposed for 48 h to 60-Hz electric fields of 430 V/m in an aqueous inorganic growth medium. The growth in length of the exposed roots was 44% of that for control roots. Root tips were analyzed for mitotic index and cell cycle duration. Mature, differentiated root sections from tissue produced after electrode energization were analyzed for cell lengths and number of files. The major reason for the observation that exposed roots are shorter than control roots is that cell elongation in the former is greatly diminished relative to controls. 相似文献

The meristematic activity of the apical cell and its derivatives (merophytes) in the unbranched, determinate roots of Azolla filiculoides Lam. was investigated. The plane of division of the apical cell indicates that it is the initial of each merophyte. The division plane of each newly formed merophyte is strictly periclinal to the root surface and provides confirmation that the immediate derivatives of the apical cell cannot be the ultimate root initials. The frequency of cell division as determined by the mitotic index, and by the duration of the cell cycle as determined by the colchicine method, confirmed the meristematic activity of the apical cell. As roots increase in length, the duration of the cell cycle in the total meristem increases, with the apical cell possessing the longest cell cycle, whereas the immediate derivatives maintain approximately the same cycle duration as in shorter roots. In determinate Azolla roots, cell division appears to play a major role up to a certain root length, then increase in length is produced mainly by cell elongation. 相似文献

Spermidine applied for 18 h to intact maize seedlings through their roots reduces root growth 70%, and the effect is reversible. Histological observations of longitudinal sections of 0.4-cm root apical segments from 2-day-old maize seedlings grown for 18 h in 0.5 m CaSO4 solution with or without 1 mm spermidine contribute to the explanation of spermidine-dependent slow root growth. In the meristematic zone a strong reduction of the mitotic index and in the elongation zone an inhibition of cell elongation occur simultaneously. Cell shape analysis along the growth axis of the maize root apex expressed in terms of form factor (FCircle) values substantiates the dual effect of spermidine on mitotic activity and cell elongation.Abbreviations PA

The effect of mechanical impedance on root growth in pea (Pisum sativum). I. Rates of cell flux, mitosis, and strain during recovery 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We studied the effect of mechanical impedance on cell flux and meristematic activity in pea roots. Pea seedlings ( Pisum sativum L. cv. Helka) were grown in cores of sand packed to dry bulk densities of either; 1.4 Mg m−3 with an additional 2.4 kg uniaxial load applied to the surface to increase the mechanical resistance to growth (penetration resistance of 1.5 MPa); or 1.0 Mg m−3 (penetration resistance of 0.05 MPa). A water content of 0.06 g g−1 was chosen for optimum root growth. After 3 days, the seedlings were transferred to hydroponics, colchicine was added and the rate of cell doubling, mitotic index and length of the cell cycle was assessed. Cell flux in the third cortical layer was calculated for roots immediately removed from sand.Mechanical impedance slowed root extension to about 20% of the unimpeded rate, and final cell length was reduced to 50% of the unimpeded length. The rate of cell doubling was 3.4 times slower for roots recovering from mechanical impedance mostly as a result of a longer period spent in interphase. Cell flux in impeded roots was approximately half that of unimpeded roots (5 cells h−1 ), and contributed to a shorter cell file and elongation zone, and a slower rate of root elongation. 相似文献

We studied the effect of 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-(indole-3-)butyric acid (TFIBA), a recently described root growth stimulator, and 5,6-dichloro-indole-3-acetic acid (DCIAA) on growth and microtubule (MT) organization in roots of Lactuca sativa L. DCIAA and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) inhibited root elongation and depolymerized MTs in the cortex of the elongation zone, inhibited the elongation of stele cells, and promoted xylem maturation. Both auxins caused the plane of cell division to shift from anticlinal to periclinal. In contrast, TFIBA (100 micromolar) promoted elongation of primary roots by 40% and stimulated the elongation of lateral roots, even in the presence of IBA, the microtubular inhibitors oryzalin and taxol, or the auxin transport inhibitor naphthylphthalamic acid. However, TFIBA inhibited the formation of lateral root primordia. Immunostaining showed that TFIBA stabilized MTs orientation perpendicular to the root axis, doubled the cortical cell length, but delayed xylem maturation. The data indicate that the auxin-induced inhibition of elongation and swelling of roots results from reoriented phragmoplasts, the destabilization of MTs in elongating cells, and promotion of vessel formation. In contrast, TFIBA induced promotion of root elongation by enhancing cell length, prolonging transverse MT orientation, delaying cell and xylem maturation. 相似文献

Root growth, developmental changes in the apex, and hydraulic conductivity for Opuntia ficus-indica during drought 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Developmental changes in the root apex and accompanying changes in lateral root growth and root hydraulic conductivity were examined for Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Miller during rapid drying, as occurs for roots near the soil surface, and more gradual drying, as occurs in deeper soil layers. During 7 d of rapid drying (in containers with a 3-cm depth of vermiculite), the rate of root growth decreased sharply and most root apices died; such a determinate pattern of root growth was not due to meristem exhaustion but rather to meristem mortality after 3 d of drying. The length of the meristem, the duration of the cell division cycle, and the length of the elongation zone were unchanged during rapid drying. During 14 d of gradual drying (in containers with a 6-cm depth of vermiculite), root mortality was relatively low; the length of the elongation zone decreased by 70%, the number of meristematic cells decreased 30%, and the duration of the cell cycle increased by 36%. Root hydraulic conductivity ( L P ) decreased to one half during both drying treatments; L P was restored by 2 d of rewetting owing to the emergence of lateral roots following rapid drying and to renewed apical elongation following gradual drying. Thus, in response to drought, the apical meristems of roots of O. ficus-indica near the surface die, whereas deeper in the substrate cell division and elongation in root apices continue. Water uptake in response to rainfall in the field can be enhanced by lateral root proliferation near the soil surface and additionally by resumption of apical growth for deeper roots. 相似文献

Root growth and cell differentiation were analysed in lentil seedlings grown (1) in microgravity (F microg), (2) on the 1 x g centrifuge (F1 x g), (3) in microgravity and placed on the 1 x g centrifuge for 4 h [F(microg + 1 x g)], (4) on the 1 x g centrifuge and placed in microgravity for 4 h [F(1 x g + microg)]. In microgravity, there were strong oscillations of the root tip, even when the seedlings were grown first on the 1 x g centrifuge [F(1 x g + microg)]. In the [F(microg + 1 x g)] sample, the roots grown in microgravity were oblique with respect to the 1 x g acceleration when the seedlings were placed on the centrifuge. They were therefore gravistimulated. However, root length was similar in the 4 samples after 29 h of growth and growth rate of the root was the same between 25 h and 29 h although it appeared to be slightly greater in the [F(microg + 1 x g)] sample. Cell elongation was analysed as a function of the distance from the root cap junction. Cell length was similar in the seedlings grown in microgravity or on the 1 x g centrifuge. The transfer from the 1 x g centrifuge to microgravity [F(1 x g + microg)] did not modify cell elongation in the roots. Cell length in the roots which were grown in microgravity and gravistimulated [F(microg + 1 x g)] was different from that observed in microgravity but this was only due to gravistimulation. Thus, gravity does not have an effect on cell elongation when the roots are strictly oriented in the vertical position but it does as soon as the root tip deviates from this orientation. 相似文献

Gravitropism describes curvature of plants in response to gravity or differential acceleration and clinorotation is commonly used to compensate unilateral effect of gravity. We report on experiments that examine the persistence of the gravity signal and separate mechanostimulation from gravistimulation. Flax roots were reoriented (placed horizontally for 5, 10 or 15 min) and clinorotated at a rate of 0.5 to 5 rpm either vertically (parallel to the gravity vector and root axis) or horizontally (perpendicular to the gravity vector and parallel to the root axis). Image sequences showed that horizontal clinorotation did not affect root growth rate (0.81 ± 0.03 mm h−1) but vertical clinorotation reduced root growth by about 7%. The angular velocity (speed of clinorotation) did not affect growth for either direction. However, maximal curvature for vertical clinorotation decreased with increasing rate of rotation and produced straight roots at 5 rpm. In contrast, horizontal clinorotation increased curvature with increasing angular velocity. The point of maximal curvature was used to determine the longevity (memory) of the gravity signal, which lasted about 120 min. The data indicate that mechanostimulation modifies the magnitude of the graviresponse but does not affect memory persistence.Key words: mechanostimulation, memory, clinorotation speed and direction, signal persistence, signal saturation 相似文献
