Dynamics of vacuoles and actin filaments in guard cells and their roles in stomatal movement

Vacuoles and actin filaments are important cytoarchitectures involved in guard cell function. The changes in the morphology and number of vacuoles and the regulation of ion channel activity in tonoplast of guard cells are essential for stomatal movement. A number of studies have investigated the regulation of ion channels in animal and plant cells; however, little is known about the regulating mechanism for vacuolar dynamics in stomatal movement. Actin filaments of guard cells are remodelling with the changes in the stomatal aperture; however, the dynamic functions of actin filaments in stomatal movement remain elusive. In this paper, we summarize the recent developments in the understanding of the dynamics of actin filaments and vacuoles of guard cells during stomatal movement. All relevant studies suggest that actin filaments might be involved in stomatal movement by regulating vacuolar dynamics and the ion channels in tonoplast. The future study could be focused on the linker protein mediating the interaction between actin filaments and tonoplast, which will provide insights into the interactive function of actin and vacuole in stomatal movement regulation.

Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases Mediate the Signaling Pathway of Stomatal Closure of Vicia faba L.

The regulation of stomatal movement is one of the most important signaling networks in plants.The H -ATPase at the plasma membrane of guard cells plays a critical role in the stomata opening, while there are some conflicting results regarding the effectiveness of the plasma membrane H -ATPase inhibitor,vanadate, in inhibiting stomata opening. We observed that 2 mmol/L vanadate hardly inhibited light-stimulated stomata opening in epidermal peels of Viciafaba L., but significantly inhibited dark- and ABA-induced stomatal closure. These results cannot be explained with the previous findings that H -ATPase was inhibited by vanadate. In view of the fact that vanadate is an inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases),we investigated whether the stomatal movement regulated by vanadate is through the regulation of PTPase.As expected, phenylarsine oxide (PAO), a specific inhibitor of PTPase, has very similar effects and even more effective than vanadate. Typical PTPase activity was found in guard cells of V. faba; moreover, the phosphatase activity could be inhibited by both vanadate and PAO. These results not only provide a novel explanation for conflicting results about vanadate modulating stomatal movement, but also provide further evidence for the involvement of PTPases in modulating signal transduction of stomatal movement.     

Photosynthesis affects following night leaf conductance in Vicia faba

Night-time stomatal opening in C₃ plants may result in significant water loss when no carbon gain is possible. The objective of this study was to determine if endogenous patterns of night-time stomatal opening, as reflected in leaf conductance, in Vicia faba are affected by photosynthetic conditions the previous day. Reducing photosynthesis with low light or low CO₂ resulted in reduced night-time stomatal opening the following night, irrespective of the effects on daytime stomatal conductance. Likewise, increasing photosynthesis with enriched CO₂ levels resulted in increased night-time stomatal opening the following night. Reduced night-time stomatal opening was not the result of an inability to regulate stomatal aperture as leaves with reduced night-time stomatal opening were capable of greater night-time opening when exposed to low CO₂. After acclimating plants to long or short days, it was found that night-time leaf conductance was greater in plants acclimated to short days, and associated with greater leaf starch and nitrate accumulation, both of which may affect night-time guard cell osmotic potential. Direct measurement of guard cell contents during endogenous night-time stomatal opening will help identify the mechanism of the effect of daytime photosynthesis on subsequent night-time stomatal regulation.     

一氧化氮在乙烯诱导蚕豆气孔关闭中的作用

以蚕豆为材料研究了一氧化氮(nitric oxide,NO)和乙烯对气孔运动的影响。结果表明,10μmol/L的NO供体硝普钠(sodium nitroprusside,SNP)以及0.04%的乙烯能明显诱导蚕豆气孔关闭,并且二者共同处理后,能够增强其促进气孔关闭的作用。乙烯合成抑制剂AVG可以减弱NO诱导气孔关闭的程度,NO清除剂c-PTIO和NR抑制剂NaN3也可减弱乙烯诱导气孔关闭的程度,而一氧化氮合酶(nitric oxide synthase,NOS)抑制剂L-NAME对乙烯诱导气孔关闭的作用不明显。推测,在调控蚕豆气孔关闭过程中,NO可能主要通过NR途径参与乙烯调控气孔关闭过程。     

Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases Mediate the Signaling Pathway of Stomatal Closure of Vicia faba L.

The regulation of stomatal movement is one of the most important signaling networks in plants.The H^ -ATPase at the plasma membrane of guard cells plays a critical role in the stomata opening, while there are some conflicting results regarding the effectiveness of the plasma membrane H^ -ATPase inhibitor,vanadate, in inhibiting stomata opening. We observed that 2 mmol/L vanadate hardly inhibited light-stimulated stomata opening in epidermal peels of Vicia faba L., but significantly inhibited dark- and ABA-induced stomatal closure. These results cannot be explained with the previous findings that H~-ATPase was inhibited by vanadate. In view of the fact that vanadate is an inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases),we investigated whether the stomatal movement regulated by vanadate is through the regulation of PTPase,As expected, phenylarsine oxide (PAO), a specific inhibitor of PTPase, has very similar effects and even more effective than vanadate.

Regulation Mechanisms of Stomatal Oscillation

Stomata function as the gates between the plant and the atmospheric environment. Stomatal movement, including stomatal opening and closing, controls CO2 absorption as the raw material for photosynthesis and water loss through transpiration. How to reduce water loss and maintain enough CO2 absorption has been an interesting research topic for some time. Simple stomatal opening may elevate CO2 absorption, but, in the meantime, promote the water loss, whereas simple closing of stomatal pores may reduce both water loss and CO2 absorption, resulting in impairment of plant photosynthesis. Both processes are not economical to the plant. As a special rhythmic stomatal movement that usually occurs at smaller stomatal apertures, stomatal oscillation can keep CO2 absorption at a sufficient level and reduce water loss at the same time, suggesting a potential improvement in water use efficiency. Stomatal oscillation is usually found after a sudden change in one environmental factor in relatively constant environments. Many environmental stimuli can induce stomatal oscillation. It appears that, at the physiological level, feedback controls are involved in stomatal oscillation. At the cellular level, possibly two different patterns exist： （i） a quicker responsive pattern; and （ii） a slower response. Both involve water potential changes and water channel regulation, but the mechanisms of regulation of the two patterns are different. Some evidence suggests that the regulation of water channels may play a vital and primary role in stomatal oscillation. The present review summarizes studies on stomatal oscillation and concludes with some discussion regarding the mechanisms of regulation of stomatal oscillation.     

外源喜树碱对植物叶片气孔导度的影响

前人研究表明,保卫细胞微管系统在气孔运动中起到重要作用:保卫细胞质膜上内向K⁺通道的正常活性有赖于微管的正常解聚/聚合的动态变化,微管系统可能通过调节保卫细胞K⁺通道而控制气孔运动,即微管解聚导致内向K⁺通道关闭,保卫细胞无法因膨压调节吸收水分而抑制气孔开放。有学者认为,喜树碱或其类似物能够与微管蛋白结合,并降低微管结构稳定性,其机制则可能是抑制细胞高分子量微管结合蛋白对微管组装的辅助作用,但这方面的实验证据相对匮乏。因此,为了进一步研究喜树碱的生态生物化学功能,我们采取叶面喷施喜树碱和PEG模拟干旱诱导气孔关闭的方法,研究了外源喜树碱对喜树幼苗气孔导度的影响,同时以没有内源喜树碱的烟草为实验材料进行了对照研究。研究结果表明:0.0115mmol·L^-1的喜树碱水饱和溶液对喜树和烟草幼苗叶片气孔导度的影响规律一致,均表现出明显的抑制气孔开放的效果,这为喜树碱与微管蛋白结合提供了部分证据。
