Light (about 3,000 foot-candles) neither increased nor decreased the sink strength of young, rapidly expanding leaves of Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Black Valentine, as measured by the comparative rates of import of 14C-labeled photosynthates by sink leaves in the light versus dark in short term experiments. Although irradiated sink leaves accumulated more 14C activity, the difference was fully accounted for by photosynthetic reabsorption of respiratory CO 2 derived from substrates translocated to the sink leaves. Maximum sink strength was attained when the sink leaf reached 7 to 8 cm2 in area (9 to 10% of its fully expanded size). Thereafter sink strength declined rapidly and asymptotically to a near zero value at about 45% final area. During this period, however, the rapid decline in translocation was offset by a rapid rise in the photosynthetic rate of the sink leaf, maintaining a near constant relative rate of dry weight increase until the sink leaf had expanded to about 17% of its final area. Although the increasing photosynthetic capacity was associated with a decreasing import capacity, suggesting that the rate of translocation to the sink leaf was controlled by the developing capacity of the sink leaf for photosynthesis, it was not possible to vary the total (true) translocation rate to the sink leaf by varying the photosynthetic rate of the sink leaf in short term light-dark experiments. Despite a high ratio of source to sink in these experiments, no evidence accrued that translocation into young bean leaves was ever sink-limited. 相似文献

63Ni was applied to nonsenescent source leaves and found to be transported to sink tissues in pea ( Pisum sativum L.) and geranium plants ( Pelargonium zonale L.). The comparative mobilities (percent tracer transported out of source leaf ÷% 86Rb transported) for 63Ni in peas was 2.12 and in geranium 0.25. The value for the phloem mobile 86Rb was 1.00. By contrast, the comparative mobility of 45Ca, which is relatively immobile in the phloem, was low (0.05 in peas, 0.00 in geranium). Interruption of the phloem pathway between source and sink leaves by steam girdling almost completely inhibited 63Ni accumulation in the sink leaves of both species. We conclude that Ni is transported from nonsenescent source leaves to sink tissues via the phloem of leguminous and nonleguminous plants. 相似文献

When seven crop species were grown under identical environmental conditions, decreased sink:source ratio led to a decreased photosynthetic rate within 1 to 3 days in Cucumis sativus L., Gossypium hirsutum L., and Raphanus sativus L., but not in Capsicum annuum L., Solanum melongena L., Phaseolus vulgaris L., or Ricinus communis L. The decrease was not associated with stomatal closure. In cotton and cucumber, sink removal led to an increase in starch and sugar content, in glucose 6-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate pools, and in the proportion of 14C detected in sugar phosphates and UDPglucose following 14CO 2 supply. When mannose was supplied to leaf discs to sequester cytoplasmic inorganic phosphate, promotion of starch synthesis, and inhibition of CO 2 fixation, were observed in control discs, but not in discs from treated plants. Phosphate buffer reduced starch synthesis in the latter, but not the former discs. The findings suggest that sink removal led to a decreased ratio inorganic phosphate:phosphorylated compounds. In beans 14C in sugar phosphates increased following sink removal, but without sucrose accumulation, suggesting tighter feedback control of sugar level. Starch accumulated to higher levels than in the other plants, but CO 2 fixation rate was constant for several days. 相似文献

The presence of Bacillus in natural biofilms which develop in sink drainage pipes is not widely studied. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to isolate and identify Bacillus spp. using the BIOLOG GEN III system as a phenotypic fingerprint and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A total of 61 biofilms samples were collected from sink drainage pipes in a kitchen and bathroom of different households in Helwan area and both laboratory and hospital collected from National Research Centre (NRC). Bacillus was isolated from the biofilms using HiCrome Bacillus Agar followed by isolates identification by both BIOLOG to the species level and PCR using genus specific primers to the genera level. Bacillus was detected in all tested biofilm samples (61 samples). The highest counts were observed in hospital sink drainage pipes (10 5?CFU/10?cm 2) while; the lowest counts were observed in both bathroom and laboratory sink drainage pipes (10 2?CFU/10 cm ?2). In total, 61% Bacillus isolates were identified by BIOLOG while, 67% isolates were confirmed by PCR. The diversity of Bacillus among species level using BIOLOG were 34% B. cereus, 23% B. subtilis ss subtilis, 17% B. thuringiensis, 16% B. licheniformis and 13% B. amyloliquefaciens. It can be concluded that; PCR is more sensitive than BIOLOG for identification of Bacillus. However, BIOLOG can identify Bacillus at species level and test 94 carbon and chemical sources on a microplate in one shot. Thus, the combination between phenotyping by BIOLOG and molecular approaches such as PCR for identification of bacterial isolates is recommended. 相似文献

Physiological and transport data are presented in support of a symplastic pathway of phloem unloading in importing leaves of Beta vulgaris L. (`Klein E multigerm'). The sulfhydryl reagent p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonic acid (PCMBS) at concentration of 10 millimolar inhibited uptake of exogenous [ 14C]sucrose by sink leaf tissue over sucrose concentrations of 0.1 to 5.0 millimolar. Inhibited uptake was 24% of controls. The same PCMBS treatment did not affect import of 14C-label into sink leaves during steady state labeling of a source leaf with 14CO 2. Lack of inhibition of import implies that sucrose did not pass through the free space during unloading. A passively transported xenobiotic sugar, l-[ 14C]glucose, imported by a sink leaf through the phloem, was evenly distributed throughout the leaf as seen by whole-leaf autoradiography. In contrast, l-[ 14C]glucose supplied to the apoplast through the cut petiole or into a vein of a sink leaf collected mainly in the vicinity of the major veins with little entering the mesophyll. These patterns are best explained by transport through the symplast from phloem to mesophyll. 相似文献

Maize ( Zea mays L.) stem is thought to function alternately as a net importing and net exporting organ during ontogeny, depending on whole plant photosynthetic source and sink status. The [ 14C]sucrose and [ 14C]glucose uptake capacity of stem tissues was investigated to increase our understanding of the transport factors which may influence sink status. 相似文献

Apical senescence but not flower initiation is delayed by short days (SD) compared to long days (LD) in pea plants ( Pisum sativum L.) of genotype E Sn Hr. We recently reported that delay of senescence correlated with slower reproductive development, suggesting that fruits are weaker sinks for assimilates under delayed senescence conditions. Thus, we have examined assimilate partitioning in peas to determine if genotype and photoperiod regulate relative sink strength. Assimilate diversion by developing fruit has been implicated in senescence induction. A greater percentage of leaf-exported 14C was transported to fruits and a smaller percentage to the apical bud of G2 peas (genotype E Sn Hr) in LD than in SD. Relatively more of the 14C delivered to the apical bud of G2 peas was transported to flower buds than to young leaves in LD as compared to SD. There was no striking photoperiodic difference in carbon partitioning in genetic lines without the Sn Hr allele combination. The Sn Hr allele combination and photoperiod may regulate the relative strength of reproductive and vegetative sinks. Photoperiodic differences in sink strength early in reproduction suggest that these genes regulate sink strength by affecting the physiology of the whole plant. High vegetative sink strength in SD may maintain assimilate supply to the apical bud, delaying senescence. 相似文献

BackgroundThe decline of photosynthesis in plants under low sink demand is well known. Previous studies focused on the relationship between stomatal conductance ( g
s) and net photosynthetic rate ( P
n). These studies investigated the effect of changes in Photosystem II (PSII) function on the P
n decline under low sink demand. However, little is known about its effects on different limiting steps of electron transport chain in PSII under this condition. Methodology/Principal FindingTwo-month-old bean plants were processed by removing pods and flowers (low sink demand). On the 1 st day after low sink demand treatment, a decline of P
n was accompanied by a decrease in g
s and internal-to-ambient CO 2 concentration ratio ( C
i/ C
a). From the 3 rd to 9 th day, P
n and g
s declined continuously while C
i/ C
a ratio remained stable in the treatment. Moreover, these values were lower than that of control. W k (a parameter reflecting the damage to oxygen evolving complex of the donor side of PSII) values in the treatment were significantly higher than their corresponding control values. However, RC QA (a parameter reflecting the number of active RCs per excited cross-section of PSII) values in the treatment were significantly lower than control from the 5 th day. From the 11 th to 21 st day, P
n and g
s of the treatment continued to decline and were lower than control. This was accompanied by a decrease of RC QA, and an increase of W k. Furthermore, the quantum yield parameters φ
Po, φ
Eo and ψ
Eo in the treatment were lower than in control; however, C
i/ C
a values in the treatment gradually increased and were significantly higher than control on the 21 st day. ConclusionsStomatal limitation during the early stage, whereas a combination of stomatal and non-stomatal limitation during the middle stage might be responsible for the reduction of P
n under low sink demand. Non-stomatal limitation during the late stages after the removal of the sink of roots and pods may also cause P
n reduction. The non-stomatal limitation was associated with the inhibition of PSII electron transport chain. Our data suggests that the donor side of PSII was the most sensitive to low sink demand followed by the reaction center of PSII. The acceptor side of PSII may be the least sensitive. 相似文献

The incorporation and distribution of photosynthetically fixed 14CO 2 was followed for 48 hours in a recently matured source leaf (LPI 7) and in young expanding source and sink leaves (LPI 4) of cottonwood ( Populus deltoides Bartr.). The major chemical constituents of leaf laminae and petioles were separated by sequential solvent extractions and enzyme hydrolyses. Two hours after labeling, about 80% of the 14C was found in water-alcohol-soluble constituents in the mature source lamina as compared to about 45% in those of the young expanding leaf. In both mature and expanding source leaves the water-alcohol-soluble constituents decreased while the CHCl 3-soluble and -insoluble compounds increased with time. After 48 hours, 7 and 37% of the total 14C was recovered from structural carbohydrates and from protein + CHCl 3-soluble fractions, respectively, in the mature source leaf; and 4 and 65%, respectively, in the young source leaf. When the distribution of 14C among major chemical fractions was calculated on per cent dpm/mg basis, the data showed that a young sink leaf incorporated over twice as much 14C into structural carbohydrates as a young source leaf (11% versus 4%). However, when calculated on an absolute dpm/mg basis, activity in this fraction of the young source leaf exceeded that in the sink leaf by a ratio of about 11:1 (9528 versus 845 dpm/mg). Thus, most of the material for synthesis of structural carbohydrates was derived from in situ photosynthate. 相似文献

The translocation of 14C-sucrose to the different parts of the mustard ( Brassica juncea) crop has been evaluated in the context of understanding the source to sink relationship in the thiol-induced enhanced crop yield. The foliar application of thiols like TU, TGA and DTT to the plant gave maximum sucrose phosphate synthase activity, which was found to have direct correlation with the movement of sucrose. The distribution pattern of 14C-sucrose follows the path from internode and node to pod via leaf. The translocation of 14C-sucrose was found to be a light dependent process. Among the nucleotides ATP and GTP, only ATP was able to promote the translocation and GTP was ineffective. In this unique in situ tracer experiment using 14C-sucrose, we could establish that thiols are able to enhance the translocation of sucrose from source to sink. 相似文献

The conversion of farmland to forestland not only changes the ecological environment but also enriches the soil with organic matter and affects the global carbon cycle. This paper reviews the influence of land use changes on the soil organic carbon sink to determine whether the Chinese “Grain-for-Green” (conversion of farmland to forestland) project increased the rate of SOC content during its implementation between 1999 and 2010 in the hilly and gully areas of the Loess Plateau in north-central China. The carbon sink was quantified, and the effects of the main species were assessed. The carbon sink increased from 2.26×10 6 kg in 1999 to 8.32×10 6 kg in 2010 with the sustainable growth of the converted areas. The black locust ( Robinia pseudoacacia L.) and alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.) soil increased SOC content in the top soil (0–100 cm) in the initial 7-yr period, while the sequestration occurred later (>7 yr) in the 100–120 cm layer after the “Grain-for-Green” project was implemented. The carbon sink function measured for the afforested land provides evidence that the Grain-for-Green project has successfully excavated the carbon sink potential of the Shaanxi province and served as an important milestone for establishing an effective organic carbon management program. 相似文献

The partitioning of recently fixed 14C to setting and abscising flowers within the axillary raceme of `Clark' isoline E1t soybeans ( Glycine max L. Merr) was examined as a function of time after anthesis of individual flowers. In such racemes, the first four flowers showed a 17% abscission while the next four flowers showed 47% abscission. Source/sink relations of flowers I-IV (normally setting) were compared to those of flowers V-VIII (normally abscising) by pulse labeling source leaves with 14CO2 and determining the radioactivity of individual flowers after a 4-hour chase period. The relative specific activity (RSA;% disintegrations per minute per% dry weight), sink strength (% disintegrations per minute), and its components, sink size (milligrams dry weight) and sink intensity (% disintegrations per milligram dry weight) were then calculated as a function of days after anthesis. Sink intensity (i.e. the competitive ability to accumulate photoassimilate per unit mass) was very high prior to anthesis of both setting and abscising flowers. Sink intensity then became very low for the first 3 days following anthesis after which it recovered in normally setting flowers, but failed to recover in normally abscising flowers. It is concluded that soybean reproductive abscission is determined at or very near the day of anthesis. 相似文献

Mixed fluorescent and incandescent light increased growth and sink strength of the uppermost young shoot of rose plants ( Rosa hybrida cv. Marimba) in comparison to pure fluorescent light. This was manifested by increased apical dominance. Monochromatic low-energy red light, given by means of optic fibers for 24 hours to shoot tips that had been previously darkened for 5 days, increased the transport of 14C-labeled assimilates to the intact tips and the uptake of [ 14C]sucrose by detached tips. Far-red had little or no effect, and blue was not effective at all in these reactions. Red light given directly to detached shoot tips, in vitro, increased the uptake of [ 14C]sucrose by the isolated tips. Adding far-red to the red greatly promoted the uptake, whereas blue and blue plus far-red were not active. The main character of the light reaction promoting sink activity in the shoot is that it is perceived by the shoot tip itself. It is operated by red light; far-red promotes the red effect but has little or no effect when alone. Light apparently promotes shoot sink activity by increasing the unloading process. 相似文献

Background and AimsNitrogen (N) remobilization is the major source of N for grain filling in wheat, the other being N uptake after anthesis ( Nup); however, variations in remobilization efficiency are not fully understood. It is hard to tell whether the source or the sink effects predominate, because N in the culm at anthesis ( Nant) correlates strongly with both N remobilization ( Nrem) and grain number ( Gn), respectively the main source and the main sink. MethodsA pot experiment was thus designed to assess the relative contributions of the source and sink to Nrem regulation. Using two cultivars of winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum, ‘Apache’ and ‘Autan’), three pre-anthesis and two post-anthesis N fertilization levels were applied in order to vary the N sources, while ear trimming at anthesis reduced sink size. Key ResultsUnlike results observed at a scale of m 2, the equation binding Nant to Nrem exhibited a negative intercept, challenging the concept of nitrogen remobilization efficiency. Before ear trimming, Gn fitted well to Nant, with a slope dependent on genotype. To obtain a sink variable that was less correlated with Nant, the difference δ Gn was calculated between actual grain number and that which could be predicted from culm N before trimming. A multiple regression then predicted Nrem ( r2 = 0·95) from Nant, Nup and δ Gn, with fitting unbiased by fertilization treatment, trimming or genotype. ConclusionsIn untrimmed culms, δ Gn had a negligible effect, so that Nrem could be fitted to Nant and Nup only: grain N filling appeared to be determined by sources only ( Nant and Nup), not by sink, and the reduction of Nrem by Nup was quantified. In these ‘normal’ cases, the regulation of Nrem should thus be located within the N sources themselves. In contrast, ear-trimming needs to be considered with caution as it introduced a sink limitation on Nrem; moreover one with an important genotype effect.Key words: Triticum aestivum, winter wheat, source/sink, grain filling, nitrogen uptake, grain number, nitrogen harvest index, nitrogen remobilization efficiency, genotype × environment 相似文献

In the Orinoco lowlands, savannas have been often replaced by pastures composed of the C 4 grass, Brachiaria decumbens Stapf. We addressed following questions: ( 1) How does the replacement of the native vegetation affect CO 2 exchange on seasonal and annual scales? ( 2) How do biophysical constraints change when the landscape is transformed? To assess how these changes affect carbon exchange, we determined simultaneously the CO 2 fluxes by eddy covariance, and the soil CO 2 efflux by a chamber-based system in B. decumbens and herbaceous savanna stands. Measurements covered a one-year period from the beginning of the dry season (November 2008) to the end of the wet season (November 2009). During the wet season, the net ecosystem CO 2 exchange reached maximum values of 23 and 10 μmol(CO 2) m ?2 s ?1 in the B. decumbens field and in the herbaceous savanna stand, respectively. The soil CO 2 efflux for both stands followed a temperature variation during the dry and wet seasons, when the soil water content (SWC) increased above 0.087 m 3 m ?3 in the latter case. Bursts of CO 2 emissions were evident when the dry soil experienced rehydration. The carbon source/sink dynamics over the two canopies differed markedly. Annual measurements of the net ecosystem production indicated that the B. decumbens field constituted a strong carbon sink of 216 g(C) m ?2 y ?1. By contrast, the herbaceous savanna stand was found to be only a weak sink [36 g(C) m ?2 y ?1]. About 53% of the gross primary production was lost as the ecosystem respiration. Carbon uptake was limited by SWC in the herbaceous savanna stand as evident from the pattern of water-use efficiency (WUE). At the B. decumbens stand, WUE was relatively insensitive to SWC. Although these results were specific to the studied site, the effect of land use changes and the physiological response of the studied stands might be applicable to other savannas. 相似文献

Background and AimsRubus chamaemorus (cloudberry) is a herbaceous clonal peatland plant that produces an extensive underground rhizome system with distant ramets. Most of these ramets are non-floral. The main objectives of this study were to determine: ( a) if plant growth was source limited in cloudberry; ( b) if the non-floral ramets translocated carbon (C) to the fruit; and ( c) if there was competition between fruit, leaves and rhizomes for C during fruit development. MethodsFloral and non-floral ramet activities were monitored during the period of flower and fruit development using three approaches: gas exchange measurements, 14CO 2 labelling and dry mass accumulation in the different organs. Source and sink activity were manipulated by eliminating leaves or flowers or by reducing rhizome length. Key ResultsPhotosynthetic rates were lower in floral than in deflowered ramets. Autoradiographs and 14C labelling data clearly indicated that fruit is a very strong sink for the floral ramet, whereas non-floral ramets translocated C toward the rhizome but not toward floral ramets. Nevertheless, rhizomes received some C from the floral ramet throughout the fruiting period. Ramets with shorter rhizomes produced smaller leaves and smaller fruits, and defoliated ramets produced very small fruits. ConclusionsPlant growth appears to be source-limited in cloudberry since a reduction in sink strength did not induce a reduction in photosynthetic activity. Non-floral ramets did not participate directly to fruit development. Developing leaves appear to compete with the developing fruit but the intensity of this competition could vary with the specific timing of the two organs. The rhizome appears to act both as a source but also potentially as a sink during fruit development. Further studies are needed to characterize better the complex role played by the rhizome in fruit C nutrition.Key words: Allocation pattern, 14C labelling, carbon translocation, carbon reserves, cloudberry, defoliation, fruit production, gas exchange, Rubus chamaemorus, source–sink relationship, flowering 相似文献

The possibility that phloem loading may occur in the reproductive sink tissues of soybeans ( Glycine max Merr. cv Chippewa 64) was examined. When [ 14C]sucrose was applied to seed coat tissues from which the developing embryo had been surgically removed, 0.1% to 0.5% of the radioactivity was translocated to the vegetative plant parts. This sink to source translocation was largely unaffected by destroying a band of phloem with steam treatment on the stem above and below the labeled pod. The same steam treatment, however, completely abolished translocation of [ 14C]sucrose between mature leaves and developing fruits. These results indicate that the movement of nutrients from developing seed coats to the vegetative plant parts occur in the xylem and that phloem loading does not occur in this sink tissue. 相似文献

Receptor-stimulated phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis is an important and ubiquitous mechanism of intracellular signaling. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP 3), generated by phosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis, binds to and gates an intracellular Ca 2+ channel, the IP 3 receptor (IP 3R), which is therefore a central component of this signaling cascade. Here we describe the development of a baculovirus (BV)/ Sf(S. frugiperda) cell system that can be used to look at IP 3R function. Agonist-evoked changes in intracellular Ca 2+ levels [Ca 2+] i were measured (using Fura2) in Sf cells expressing the gene encoding the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (vmlAchR). Furthermore, we have constructed a recombinant BV (vlP3R), with the core of the IP 3R ligand-binding domain from the Drosophila IP 3R, under the polyhedrin promoter. The recombinant protein from such a virus was expected to act as a large ligand sink for IP3, generated by stimulation of vmlAchR. Cells coinfected with recombinant BV carrying the potential dominant-negative vIP3R construct and vmlAchR have been used to assay the modulation of IP 3R-mediated Ca 2+ release, by the ligand sink. 相似文献
