Developing grains of rain-fed wheat must obtain S from reserves that the
plant accumulated during vegetative growth. The effect of S nutrition on
the sources of S that were transported from vegetative tissues during grain
development was examined. Wheat was grown in solution culture with 2 mM N
and either 200 M S (high-S) or 50 M S (low-S). All nutrients were withdrawn either at
booting, ear emergence, anthesis, or 8 d post anthesis. At 13 d post
anthesis, high-S plants contained sulphate in roots and leaves, GSH
(glutathione) in leaves, and S in leaf proteins. Between harvests, sulphate
was lost from roots and GSH was lost from leaves. Sulphate and GSH were not
detected in roots or leaves of low-S plants at 13 d post anthesis, and
between harvests, S in leaf-proteins decreased During reproductive growth,
redistribution of sulphate from roots was likely to be in response to S
demand, redistribution of GSH was likely to result from the breakdown of
chloroplasts, and in low-S plants, hydrolysis of leaf proteins in response
to N demand was the most important source of S for grain
development. 相似文献

In a companion paper several methods of calculating the marginal unit water
cost of plant carbon gain (E/A) were tested to determine
whether stomata were behaving optimally in relation to regulating leaf gas
exchange. In this paper one method is applied to several tropical tree
species when leaf-to-air vapour pressure difference (D), photosynthetic
photon flux density, leaf temperature, and atmospheric soil water
availability were manipulated. The response of leaves that had expanded
during the dry season were also compared to that of leaves that had
expanded in the wet season. Few differences in absolute value of
E/A, or the form of the relationship, were observed
between species or between seasons. In the majority of species,
E/A increased significantly as either leaf-to-air vapour
pressure difference increased, at a leaf temperature of either 33C or 38C, or as in
photosynthetic photon flux density increased. In contrast, as leaf
temperature increased at constant D, E/A was generally
constant. As pre-dawn water potential declined, E/A
declined. The relationship between E/A and D did not
differ whether internal or ambient carbon dioxide concentration were kept
constant. It is concluded that stomata are only behaving optimally over a
very small range of D. If a larger range of D is used, to incorporate
values that more closely reflect those experienced by tropical trees in a
savanna environment optimization is incomplete.Key
words: Stomatal optimization theory, marginal unit water cost.

The objective was to determine whether the protein of
rolB affects shoot formation and whether this
potential relationship depends on the developmental stages of the plant
and/or on the culture conditions. Thin cell layers (TCL) and leaf explants
were excised from tobacco plants in the vegetative and flowering stages and
cultured under various hormonal conditions. In TCLs of vegetative-stage
plants, the expression of rolB enhanced the formation
of the shoot buds under hormone-free conditions and with specific
concentrations of auxin and/or cytokinin. Histological examination showed
that the induction of the shoot meristemoids was particularly enhanced by
rolB protein and that meristemoid growth was
accelerated. In leaf explants from vegetative-stage plants, the expression
of rolB increased the formation of shoot buds in the
presence of 1 M IAA plus 1 or 10 M cytokinin. With BA alone, at a 0.1 M concentration, shoot formation occurred in the
transgenic explants only, whereas with concentrations ranging from 0.5 to
10 M, it was higher in these explants than in
controls.RolB protein enhanced the formation of shoot
buds in TCLs from flowering plants under all hormonal conditions. In the
presence of 1 M IAA and kinetin, the protein also increased the
flowering response. In leaf explants from flowering plants, the expression
of rolB increased the number of shoot buds in the
presence of 1 M IAA with 10 M BA.In conclusion,
rolB protein promotes shoot formation; it seems to
have a positive interaction with cytokinin and an effect on the induction
of the meristematic condition. 相似文献

The water potential () at which stomata completed closure (8Lmin)was determined for pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum [L.]Leeke) at two growth stages by monitoring changes in leaf conductance(gL) and following shoot detachment. Leaf water status wasevaluated concurrently using a pressure-volume (P-V) technique. In a pot experiment with young vegetative plants, 8Lmin closelyapproximated to the estimated at zero turgor (u) both for controland for drought-conditioned plants which had osmotically adjusted.However, for penultimate leaves of field-grown flowering plants,8Lmin was found to be 0.61 (irrigated plants) and 0.87 (droughtedplants) MPa below u. In drought-stressed field-grown plants,osmotic adjustment (characterized by a decrease in solute (osmotic)potential (s ) at both full hydration and zero turgor) was insufficientto maintain a positive bulk leaf turgor potential (p) once had declined to below about -1.5 MPa. It is suggested that localizedadjustment by the stomatal complex in response to environmentaldifferences, leaf ageing and/or ontogenetic change, is responsiblefor the uncoupling of stomatal from bulk leaf water status.

Mastoparan analogues stimulate phospholipase C- and phospholipase D-activity in Chlamydomonas: a comparative study 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The G-protein activator mastoparan and its analogues are becoming popular
tools for studying signalling in plants. Therefore the abilities of
mastoparan, mas7, mas8, and mas17 to activate phospholipase C (PLC), PLD
and to induce the deflagellation response in Chlamydomonas
moewusii Gerloff were compared. The aim was to test whether
their relative potencies in a plant system resemble those reported for
bovine brain Go and Gi, as is generally assumed, and to determine at which
concentrations cells become permeabilized, a known effect of higher
concentrations. The concentrations at which 50% deflagellation was induced,
were 2.0 M mastoparan, 3.0 M mas8, 3.6 M mas7, and 5.8 M
mas17. Similar activities were found for the production of phosphatidic
acid, which is the result of the combined activities of PLD and PLC
(together with diacylglycerol kinase). PLD activity alone was measured
in vivo by its ability to phosphatidylate
n-butanol. Surprisingly, the concentrations that
stimulated maximum activity were about 10-fold lower (1
M) than those that stimulated maximum PLC activity (10
M). Mas17 was an exception with both maxima above 10 M.
All the compounds except mas17 permeabilized C.
moewusii cells. The concentrations at which 50% of the cells
were permeabilized to Evan's blue were 7.4 M mas8, 16.0 M
mas7 and 22.4 M mastoparan. In conclusion, only mastoparan itself
and the least active analogue mas17 induced maximum deflagellation, PLC and
PLD activities without permeabilizing the cells.Keywords:

Changes in components of leaf water potential during soil waterdeficits influence many physiological processes. Research resultsfocusing on these changes during desiccation of peanut (Arachishypogeae L.) leaves are apparently not available. The presentstudy was conducted to examine the relationships of leaf waterl, solute s and turgor p potentials, and percent relative watercontent (RWC) of peanut leaves during desiccation of detachedleaves and also during naturally occurring soil moisture deficitsin the field. The relationship of p to l and RWC was evaluated by calculatingp from differences in l and s determined by thermocouple psychrometryand by constructing pressure-volume (P-V) curves from the land RWC measurements. Turgor potentials of Early Bunchand Florunner leaves decreased to zero at l of1.2 to 1.3 MPa and RWC of 87%. There were no cultivardifferences in the l at which p became zero. P-V curves indicatedthat the error of measuring s after freezing due to dilutionof the cellular constituents was small but resulted in artefactualnegative p values. Random measurements on two dates of l, s, and calculation ofp from well-watered and water-stressed field plots consistingof several genotypes indicated that zero p occurred at l of1.6 MPa. It was concluded that the relationships of p,l, s, and RWC of peanut leaves were similar to leaves of othercrops and that these relationships conferred no unique droughtresistance mechanism to peanut. 相似文献

A karyopherin (LeKAP1) cDNA was isolated from tomato
plants. The deduced LeKAP1 protein sequence of 527 amino acids
showed similarity to other plant karyopherin proteins. When
LeKAP1 was expressed in a yeast two-hybrid
system together with the gene coding for the capsid protein (CP) of the
tomato yellow curl leaf virus (TYLCV), it interacted directly with CP.
Thus, LeKAP1 may be involved in the nuclear import of TYLCV CP
and, potentially, the TYLCV genomes during viral infection of the host
tomato cells. 相似文献

An error occurs in the calibration of xylem pressure potential() against leaf-water potential () when the calibration is madeusing plant material in which the water stress has been inducedartificially after excision. The impostion of water stress afterexcision affects the determination more than it affects , consequentlythe relationship between these two indices of water stress isaltered. Care should be exercised to ensure that identical proceduresare adopted during . calibrations and during susbsequent fieldmeasurements of with the pressure-chamber apparatus. 相似文献

Aspects of the water relations of spring wheat (Triticum aestivumL.) are described for cultivars Highbury (low ABA) and TW269/9(high ABA), and low and high ABA accumulating F6selections derivedfrom a cross between them. In a pot experiment, pressure-volume (P-V) curves were constructedfor main stem leaf four (MSL4) of well-watered plants of Highburyand TW269/9. Estimates of solute potential (2) from these curveswere similar for the two cultivars, but varied with the timeof sampling and the time allowed for hydration in dim light. In a field experiment with four low and four high ABA F6lines,P-V curves for flag leaves from both droughted and irrigatedplants gave at both zero turgor (p) and zero water potential(1) which differed with degree of stress, sampling time andgenotype. 1was strongly dependent on the initialL of the leafand was reduced on average by c. 0.4 MPa per MPa decline ininitial L.5, was lower (more negative) by c. 0.1-MPa in theafternoon than in the morning. Overall, was also 0.1 MPa lowerin low ABA lines than in high ABA lines. In another field experiment, flag leaves of five low and fivehigh ABA F6lines were sampled over a 4 week period from droughtedplots and L and 5, measured (the latter by osmometry with expressedsap). For these leaves 5, at zero p or zero L was consistentlylower by 0.30.5 MPa than estimates of 5, from the P-Vcurves with flag leaves. However, data for the low ABA lineswere again lower (by c. 0.1 MPa) than those for high ABA lines. The consequences of these differences in 1 are discussed inrelation to the stimulation of ABA accumulation in low and highABA selections.

Embryo/scutellar tissue of pre-mature wheat grains usually containslittle -amylase but readily produces the enzyme upon removalfrom the caryopsis. Enzyme production is accompanied by cytologicalchanges in the scutellar epithelium cells characteristic ofgerminating mature embryos, although -amylase production bypre-mature tissue is not always associated with germinativegrowth of the embryonic axis. Production of -amylase is influencedby embryo age, stimulated by GA3 and overall is inhibited byABA. Examination by isoelectric focussing and rocket-line immuno-electrophoresisreveals the presence of both -AMYl and -AMY2 isoenzymes, thelatter being the major constituent. In the presence of ABA certain-AMY2 isoenzymes not detected previously are observed. Key words: a-Amylase, wheat, embryo 相似文献

The Meaning of Matric Potential 总被引:6,自引:1,他引:5
The commonly used equation, = P - + , which describes thepartitioning of plant water potential, , into components ofhydrostatic pressure, P, osmotic pressure, , and matric potential,, is misleading. The term , which is supposed to show the influenceof a solid phase on , is zero if a consistent definition ofpressure is used in the standard thermodynamic derivation. However,it can be usefully defined by = + D, where D is the osmoticpressure of the equilibrium dialysate of the system. The practicaland theoretical significance of this definition is discussed. 相似文献

The Structure and Functions of Xyloglucan 总被引:14,自引:1,他引:13
Xyloglucan is a polysaccharide found in the primary cell wallsof all higher plants examined. Its cellulose-like backbone,which is about 0.15 to 1.5 µm long, consists of 300 to3 000 ß-(14)-linked D-glucopyranose residues. About6075% (or, in grasses, about 3040%) of the glucoseresidues have side-chains attached to position 6. The majorside-chains are: D-xylopyranosyl--1 -, D-galactopyranosyl-ß-(12)-D-xylopyranosyl--I , L-arabinofuranosyl-(1 -2)-D-xylopyranosyl--1-, and (except in grasses) L.-fucopyranosyl--(1 -2)-D-galactopyranosyl-ß-(1-2)-D-xylopyranosyl--1-. There is some regularity in the distribution of these side-chainsalong the backbone. Xyloglucan plays two very different r?les in the control ofcell growth: (a) as a major building material of the wall [concentrationof xyloglucan in the wall in vivo 10% (w/v)] it probably directlydictates wall extensibility and, therefore, the rate of cellexpansion and (b) it can be broken down to a fucose-containingoligosaccharide which [at a concentration of 0.0000001% (w/v)]exerts a hormone-like anti-auxin effect on growth. In addition,xyloglucan lacking fucose is used by certain dicotyledonousseeds as a food reserve which is mobilized after germination.Xyloglucan is, therefore, the subject of considerable currentinterest in several apparently disparate areas of botany.

Leaf diffusion resistance interpreted as stomatal resistance,leaf water potential (w), solute potential (s) and leaf turgorpotential (p) of the chilling sensitive species Phaseolus vulgariswere determined during chilling at 4 °C in the light. Bothchill-hardened and non-hardened plants were used. For comparison,the chilling resistant species Pisum sativum was also used. The results for chilled P. sativum were similar to those obtainedfor chill-hardened P. vulgaris plants receiving a chilling treatment.In both cases a reduction in stomatal aperture and the maintenanceof a positive leaf turgor were the responses to chilling. Leavesof chilled but non-hardened P. vulgaris plants were found tomaintain open stomata throughout the chilling treatment despitea severe wilt developing after 7 h at 4 °C. This was incontrast to the chill-resistant P. sativum. which showed a rapidclosing and subsequent re-opening of the stomata to a new reducedaperture. During the first 12 h of chilling wof P. vulgaris leaves changedfrom 0.47 MPa to 1.24 MPa. On more prolonged chillingw tended to return to pre-chilling values. In addition. p decreasedfrom 0.42 MPa to zero after only 9 h of chilling, and remainedat this value for the remainder of the chilling period, s, changedrapidly from 0.89 MPa to 1.35 MPa in the first7.5 h, and after 9 h. w and s, were equal, i.e. zero p. In contrast,the chilling resistant plant P. sativum maintained a positivep throughout the chilling period, and there was little differencebetween values of w, and s in control and chilled leaves.

Photorespiratory glycine enhances glutathione accumulation in both the chloroplastic and cytosolic compartments 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Transformed poplars overexpressing -glutamylcysteine synthetase (-ECS) in the chloroplast (Lggs) were used to
investigate chloroplastic biosynthesis of glutathione (GSH). In Lggs
leaves, GSH contents were enhanced by up to 3.7 fold. In general, the
highest GSH contents were observed in lines with highest
-glutamylcysteine (-EC) contents. These lines had
relatively low glycine. In darkness, foliar GSH decreased and -EC
increased. Illumination of pre-darkened Lggs in air resulted in a 5-fold
decrease in the -EC : GSH ratio. This light-induced decrease was
largely abolished if leaves were illuminated at high CO2. Consequently, the
-EC : GSH ratio of illuminated leaves was much higher at high CO2
than in air. At high CO2 total foliar amino acids were
higher, but glycine and serine were lower, than in air. These results
suggest that photorespiratory glycine is used in chloroplastic GSH
synthesis. Despite this net CO2 fixation was similar in Lggs to
untransformed poplars. Pre-illuminated leaf discs from Lggs, and poplars
overexpression -ECS in the cytosol (ggs), were incubated in
darkness with a range of metabolites. After 15 h, discs for both types of
transformant incubated on water had accumulated high levels of -EC
and showed marked increases in the -EC : GSH ratio. Feeding
glycine, serine, glycollate or phosphoserine, attenuated the dark-induced
changes in the -EC : GSH ratio, whereas 3-phosphoglycerate (PGA),
phosphoenolpyruvate, glycerate, and hydroxypyruvate did not. Glycine
produced from glycollate was therefore required for maximal GSH
accumulation in both the chloroplastic and cytosolic compartment.
Production of glycine from PGA failed to meet the demand of increased GSH
synthetic capacity. 相似文献

Mycorrhizal influence on hydraulic and hormonal factors implicated in the control of stomatal conductance during drought 总被引:17,自引:1,他引:16

During drying, mycorrhizal plants often maintain higher stomatalconductance (gs) than similarly-sized and -nourished non-mycorrhizalplants, but the mechanism of mycorrhizal influence remains unclear.Several hydraulic and non-hydraulic factors previously implicatedin control of stomatal behavior during drought were measured,to learn which are affected when roots of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata[L.] Walp. cv. White Acre) are extensively colonized by Glomusintraradices Schenck and Smith isolate UT143. At low soil watercontents (), mycorrhizal plants maintained higher gs, transpirationand shoot water potential () than non-mycorrhizal plants. Thesehigher foliar water status characters were associated with lowerxylemsap abscisic acid concentrations ([ABA]) and lower ABAfluxes to leaves in mycorrhizal plants at low soil . Stomatalconductance was most closely correlated with xylem-sap [ABA],ABA flux to leaves and shoot . Stomatal conductance was notcorrelated with xylemsap concentrations of calcium or zeatinriboside equivalents, or with xylem-sap pH, nor were these xylem-sapconstituents affected by mycorrhizal symbiosis. Stomata of mycorrhizaland non-mycorhizal leaves showed similar sensitivities to ABA,whether leaves were intact or detached. It is concluded thatmycorrhizal fungi probably increased the capability of rootsystems to scavenge water in drier soil, resulting in less strainto foliage and hence higher gs, and shoot at particular soil.

Influence of UV-B radiation and Cd2+ on chlorophyll fluorescence, growth and nutrient content in Brassica napus 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
The possible interaction of two stresses, UV-B radiation and cadmium,
applied simultaneously, was investigated in Brassica
napus L. cv. Paroll with respect of chlorophyll fluorescence,
growth and uptake of selected elements. Plants were grown in nutrient
solution containing CdCl2, (0, 0.5, 2 or 5 M)
and irradiated with photosynthetically active radiation
(PAR, 400-700 nm, 800 mol m-2
s-1) with or without supplemental ultraviolet-B
radiation (UV-B, 280-320 nm, 15 kJ m-2
d-1, weighted irradiance). After 14 d of treatment,
the most pronounced effects were found at 2 and 5 M CdCl2 with and
without supplemental UV-B radiation. Exposure to cadmium significantly
increased the amount of Cd in both roots and shoots. In addition, increases
occurred in the concentrations of Fe, Zn, Cu, and P in roots, while K was
reduced. In shoots the S content rose significantly both in the presence
and absence of UV-B radiation, while significant increases in Mg, Ca, P,
Cu, and K occurred only in plants exposed to Cd and UV-B radiation.
Manganese decreased significantly under the combined exposure treatment.
The rise in S content may have been due to stimulated glutathione and
phytochelatin synthesis. Cadmium exposure significantly decreased root dry
weight, leaf area, total chlorophyll content, carotenoid content, and the
photochemical quantum yield of photosynthesis. As an estimation of energy
dissipation processes in photosynthesis, non-photochemical quenching
(qNPQ) was measured using a pulse amplitude modulated
fluorometer. The qNPQ increased with increasing Cd,
while the combination of cadmium and UV-B reduced the
qNPQ compared to that in plants exposed only to
cadmium or UV-B radiation. The chlorophyll a:b ratio
showed a reduction with UV-B at no or low Cd concentrations (0 M,
0.5 M CdCl2), but not at the higher Cd concentrations used (2
M, 5 M CdCl2). Thus in some instances there appeared to
be a UV-B and Cd interaction, while in other plants response could be
attributed to either treatment alone.Keywords:

Water Relations of Chromium VI Treated Bush Bean Plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Contender) under both Normal and Water Stress Conditions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The effect of Chromium VI on leaf water potential (w), solutepotential (a), turgor potential (p) and relative water content(RWC) of primary and first trifoliatc leaves of Phaseolus vulgarisL. was studied under normal growth conditions and during anartificially induced water stress period in order to establishthe possible influence of this heavy metal on the water stressresistance of plants. Plants were grown on perlite with nutrientsolution containing 0, 10, 25, 50 or 100µg cm3 Cr as Na2Cr2O7.2H2O. The effect of Cr onwater relations was highly concentration dependent, and primaryand first trifoliate leaves were affected differently. The growthreducing concentrations of Cr (25, 50 and 100µg cm3) generally decreased s and w and increasedp in primary leaves. The 10 µg cm3 Cr treatmentdid not affect growth, but altered water relations substantially:in primary leaves w and p were increased and s decreased, whilein trifoliate leaves the effect was the opposite. All Cr treatedplants resisted water stress for longer than control plants.The higher water stress resistance may be due to the lower sand to the increased cell wall elasticity observed in Cr VItreated plants.

Phytosulphokine-{alpha}, a peptidyl plant growth factor, stimulates somatic embryogenesis in carrot 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Phytosulphokine- (PSK-) is the first chemically characterized peptide
that acts as a plant growth factor. It stimulates the proliferation of
asparagus and rice cells, but no information is yet available on its
effects on plant morphogenesis. The effects of PSK- on somatic
embryogenesis in carrot (Daucus carota L.) were
examined. PSK-, when added to the induction medium for somatic
embryogenesis, increased the number of somatic embryos. The chemical
analogues [2-5]PSK- and tyrosine sulphate ester (Tyr-SO3 H), which
have been used as negative controls in other systems, had no effect.
Moreover the proliferation of cells during somatic embryogenesis was also
enhanced by PSK- these results indicate that PSK-
enhanced cell division and, as a consequence, stimulated carrot somatic
embryogenesis. PSK- also stimulated the proliferation of
embryogenic cells in medium that contained 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid
(2,4-D), in which somatic embryos did not form, as well as the
proliferation of non-embryogenic cells (cells that had lost the ability to
form somatic embryos) in medium without 2,4-D. These results indicate that
PSK- has a stimulatory effect on cell division generally in carrot
cell cultures.Key words: Daucus carota, plant growth
factor, somatic embryogenesis, sulphated peptide.

In recent years alternative ways have been proposed to transformmeasurements of leaf water potential, , and relative water content,R*, in order to derive values of osmotic pressure at full turgidityin leaves and shoots, o(when 0). Two types of transformationsare usually considered: 1/ versus R* and versus 1/R*, and linearregression is used to fit the data in the region where turgoris thought to be zero. It appears that when o is estimated bylinear extrapolation of 1/Psi; versus R* then apoplastic watermight not influence the accuracy of o but when the versus \/R*transformation is used apoplastic water causes an underestimateof o. We examine the accuracy of the estimate of o obtainedfrom the two transformations when there are random errors in, systematic errors in , and when the osmotic solutions arenon-ideal. The 1/ versus R* transformation generally producesthe best estimate of 0 by linear extrapolation. 相似文献
