A transient increase in apoplastic peroxidase activity precedes decrease in elongation rate of B73 maize (Zea mays) leaf blades 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) activity from homogenized tissue or in apoplastic fluid was analyzed along the developmental gradient of expanding B73 maize ( Zea mays L.) leaf blades. Soluble plus ionically bound peroxidase activity from homogenized tissue was present in high levels at the leaf base, which includes the region of cell division, and decreased as tissue was displaced away from the base by growth. A different pattern of change in peroxidase activity was seen in apoplastic fluid extracted from segments of intact tissue, where an increase in peroxidase activity preceded a rapid decrease in leaf elongation rate. Similar patterns in peroxidase activity from homogenized and intact tissue have been found in leaf blades of tall fescue ( Festuca arundinacea Schreb.), suggesting a common phenomenon. At the location within the elongation zone where the increase in apoplastic peroxidase activity occurred, the activities of neutral and acidic (pl 4.6) peroxidase isoforms were also elevated in both the homogenate and in apoplastic fluid. The coincidence of these isoforms with the decline in leaf elongation rate suggests they may contribute to cessation of growth. At the distal end of the elongation zone, the activities of other acidic peroxidases (pI 5.6 and 5.7) increased in the homogenate and in apoplastic fluid, and remained elevated as tissue was displaced into the maturation region. The location of their appearance and their relatively high activity in the maturation region suggest the involvement of these isoforms in lignification. 相似文献

The relationship between apoplastic peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) activity and cessation of growth in maize (Zea mays L.) leaf blades was investigated by altering elongation zone length. Apoplastic peroxidase activity in the elongation and secondary cell wall deposition zones of elongating leaf blades of the maize inbred line B73 was used as a control and compared to leaves of the dwarf mutant D8-81127, a near-isogenic line of B73 unresponsive to gibberellins, and to leaves of B73 plants to which gibberellic acid (GA(3)) had been applied via root uptake. Elongation zone length was increased by treatment with GA(3) through an increase in cell number as well as increased final cell length. The shorter elongation zone of dwarf leaves occurred primarily through reduced final cell length. Although elongation zone length differed among dwarf, control, and GA(3)-treated leaf blades, in all three treatments a transient increase in apoplastic peroxidase activity preceded a reduction in the segmental elongation rate in leaves. A peroxidase isoenzyme with pI 7.0 occurred in the leaf elongation zone during growth deceleration in all three treatments, and its activity decreased as growth displaced tissue into the region of secondary cell wall deposition. Growth cessation for all treatments coincided with the first appearance of peroxidase isozymes with pIs of 5.6 and 5.7. Based on the activity of particular isozymes relative to growth and differentiation, the pI 7.0 isoenzyme is most likely to be involved in cessation of cell elongation, while isozymes with pIs 5.6 and 5.7 are likely to be active in lignification. 相似文献

We examined relationships among cell wall feruloylation, diferulate cross-linking, p-coumarate deposition, and apoplastic peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) activity with changes in the elongation rate of leaf blades of slow and rapid elongating genotypes of tall fescue ( Festuca arundinacea Schreb.). Growth was not directly influenced by ferulic acid deposition but leaf elongation decelerated as 8-5-, 8- O-4-, 8-8-, and 5-5-coupled diferulic acids accumulated in cell walls. Growth rapidly slowed and stopped with the deposition of p-coumarate, which is primarily associated with lignification in grass cell walls. Accretion of ferulate, diferulates and p-coumarate continued after growth ended, into the later stages of secondary wall formation. The concentration of 8-coupled diferulates dwarfed that of the more commonly measured 5-5-coupled isomer, suggesting that the latter dimer is a poor indicator of diferulate cross-linking in cell walls. Further work is required to clearly demonstrate the role of diferulate cross-linking and p-coumaroylated lignins in the cessation of leaf growth in grasses. 相似文献

Cessation of cell expansion has been associated with cell wall cross-linking reactions catalyzed by peroxidase. This study utilized two genotypes of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) that differ in length of the leaf elongation zone to investigate the relationship between ionically bound peroxidase activity and the spatial distribution of leaf elongation. Peroxidase activity was also localized histochemically in transverse sections of the leaf blade using 3,3′ -diaminobenzidine. Soluble or soluble plus ionically bound peroxidase activities were extracted from homogenized segments of the elongating leaf blade and assayed spectrophotometrically. Activity of the ionically bound fraction, expressed per milligram fresh weight or per microgram protein, increased as cells were displaced through the distal half of the elongation zone, corresponding to the region in which the elongation rate declined. In both genotypes, the initial increase in activity preceded the onset of growth deceleration by about 10 hours. In the basal region where elongation began, histochemical localization showed that peroxidase activity was found only in vascular tissues. As cells were displaced farther through the elongation zone, peroxidase activity appeared in walls of other longitudinally continuous tissues such as the epidermis and bundle sheaths. Increase in ionically bound peroxidase activity and changes in localization of peroxidase activity occurred at comparable developmental stages in the two genotypes. The results indicate that cessation of elongation followed an increase in cell wall peroxidase activity. 相似文献

Investigations were performed to better understand the carbon economy in the elongation zone of tall fescue leaf blades. Plants were grown at constant 21°C and continuous 300 micromoles per square meter per second photosynthetic photon flux density where leaf elongation was steady for several days. Elongation occurred in the basal 20 mm of the blade (0-20 millimeters above the ligule) and was maximum at 9 to 12 millimeters. Eight 3-millimeter long segments were sampled along the length of the elongation zone and analyzed for water-soluble carbohydrates. Sucrose concentration was high in the zone of cell division (0-6 millimeters) whereas monosaccharide concentration was high at and distal to the location where cell elongation terminated (20 millimeters). Fructan concentration increased in the basal part, then remained constant at about 85% of the total mass of water-soluble carbohydrates through the remainder of the elongation zone. Data on spatial distribution of growth velocities and substance contents (e.g. microgram fructan per millimeter leaf length) were used to calculate local net rates of substance deposition (i.e. excess rates of substance synthesis and/or import over substance degradation and/or export) and local rates of sucrose import. Rates of sucrose import and net deposition of fructan were positively associated with local elongation rate, whereas net rates of sucrose deposition were high in the zone of cell division and those of monosaccharide were high near the termination of elongation. At the location of most active elongation imported sucrose (29.5 milligrams per square decimeter per hour) was used largely for synthesis of structural components (52%) and fructan (41%). 相似文献

A gradient of development consisting of successive zones of cell division, cell elongation and cell maturation occurs along the longitudinal axis of elongating leaf blades of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.), a C3 grass. An increase in specific leaf weight (SLW; dry weight per unit leaf area) in the maturation region has been hypothesized to result from deposition of secondary cell walls in structural tissues. Our objective was to measure the transverse cell wall area (CWA) associated with the increase in SLW, which occurs following the cessation of leaf blade elongation at about 25 mm distal to the ligule. Digital image analysis of transverse sections at 5, 15, 45, 75 and 105 mm distal to the ligule was used to determine cell number, cell area and protoplast area of structural tissues, namely fibre bundles, mestome sheaths and xylem vessel elements, along the developmental gradient. Cell diameter, protoplast diameter and area, and cell wall thickness and area of fibre bundle cells were calculated from these data. CWA of structural tissues increased in sections up to 75 mm distal to the ligule, confirming the role of cell wall deposition in the increase in SLW (r2 = 0.924; P < or = 0.01). However, protoplast diameter of fibre cells did not decrease significantly as CWA increased, although mean thickness of fibre cell walls increased by 95 % between 15 and 105 mm distal to the ligule. Therefore, secondary cell wall deposition in fibre bundles of tall fescue leaf blades resulted in continued radial expansion of fibre cells rather than in a decrease in protoplast diameter. 相似文献

Elongating grass leaves have successive zones of cell division, cell elongation, and cell maturation in the basal portion of the blade and are a strong sink for photosynthate. Our objective was to determine dry matter (DM) deposition and partitioning in basal zones of elongating tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) leaf blades. Vegetative tall fescue plants were grown in continuous light (350 micromoles per square meter per second photosynthetic photon flux density) to obtain a constant spatial distribution of elongation growth with time. Content and net deposition rates of water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) and DM along elongating leaf blades were determined. These data were compared with accumulation of 14C in the basal zones following leaf-labeling with 14CO2. Net deposition of DM was highest in the active cell elongation zone, due mainly to deposition of WSC. The maturation zone, just distal to the elongation zone, accounted for 22% of total net deposition of DM in elongating leaves. However, the spatial profile of 14C accumulation suggested that the elongation zone and the maturation zone were sinks of equal strength. WSC-free DM accounted for 55% of the total net DM deposition in elongating leaf blades, but only 10% of incoming 14C-photosynthate accumulated in the water-insoluble fraction (WIF ≈ WSC-free DM) after 2 hours. In the maturation zone, more WSC was used for synthesis of WSC-free DM than was imported as recent photosynthate. 相似文献

Changes in Peroxidase Activity Associated with Cell Walls During Pine Hypocotyl Growth 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Peroxidase active against 2,2'-azino-bis-[3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonicacid] (ABTS) and guaiacol were found in the apoplastic fluid,as well as ionically and covalently associated with pine cellwalls. The highest activity was found covalently bound to cellwalls, while the lowest activity was in the apoplastic fluid.Both ABTS and guaiacol peroxidases increased with the hypocotylage in the three fractions, apoplastic, ionically and covalentlybound. Furthermore, the changes in both peroxidases along thehypocotyl were also studied. Both apoplastic ABTS- and guaiacol-peroxidasesincreased from the apical towards the basal region of the hypocotylsof 10-d-old seedlings. A relation between peroxidase activityin the apoplastic fluid and the cell wall stiffening in pinehypocotyls is proposed.Copyright 1995, 1999 Academic Press Cell wall, growth, hypocotyl, peroxidase, pine, Pinus pinaster Aiton 相似文献

Knowledge about the spatial distribution of growth is essential for understanding the leaf growth process. In grasses the elongation zone is located at the base of the leaf blade and is enclosed by sheaths of older leaves. Assessment of spatial growth distribution, therefore, necessitates use of a destructive method. We used a fine needle to make holes through bases of tillers at the location of the leaf elongation zone of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.), then measured the displacement of the holes after a 6 or 24 h interval. Needle holes caused a 22 to 41% decrease in daily leaf elongation so experiments were conducted to investigate if the spatial distribution of growth in the elongation zone was altered. Leaf elongation rate was reduced similarly when needle holes were made within or above the zone where cell elongation occurs. Distribution of elongation within the zone was the same when estimated by displacement of needle holes or ink marks placed on the epidermis of the elongation zone after surrounding tissue had been removed. Making holes at different locations within the elongation zone did not differentially affect the relative contribution of the damaged or undamaged parts to leaf elongation. These findings demonstrate that needle holes or ink marks in paired leaves can be used to estimate the relative distribution of growth in the elongation zone of undamaged tall fescue leaf blades. 相似文献

Specific Leaf Weight in Zones of Cell Division, Elongation and Maturation in Tall Fescue Leaf Blades 总被引:7,自引:2,他引:5
Patterns of change in specific leaf weight (SLW), water-solublecarbohydrate (WSC) content and leaf width were used to delineatethe region of secondary cell wall accumulation, and determinethe rate of increase in structural material along a developingleaf blade of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.). Structuralspecific leaf weight (SSLW) was determined by subtracting WSCmass from dry weight to emphasize structural material. Becausemeristematic activity, cell elongation, and cellular maturationare arranged successively in the grass leaf, these patternsrepresent a developmental sequence through which each segmentof the leaf blade passes. Patterns were generally similar fortwo genotypes, one selected for high (HYT) and the other forlow (LYT) yield per tiller, for a single genotype grown at 17or 25 C, and for two field-grown populations which differedin leaf area expansion rate (LAER). In all three studies, the elongation zone of the developingleaf had 31 to 39 per cent WSC on a dry weight basis. The LYTgenotype had a higher SLW at all stages of development whengrown at 17 than at 25 C, due to greater WSC accumulation.At 20 C, the HYT genotype had a higher SLW all along the elongatingleaf blade than the LYT genotype. This difference was due toa difference in SSLW, while WSC content was similar. The LERwas 64 per cent higher in the high population than the low,but elongation zones were similar in WSC. In all cases, SSLWwas high in the meristematic region, lowest near the distalend of the cell elongation zone, then increased linearly astissue matured. Rate of increase in SSLW was 8.5 and 5.2 g m2d1 for the HYT and LYT genotypes, respectively, and 7.6and 6.7 g m2 d1 for the high and low LAER populations,respectively.

The spatial distributions of net deposition rates of water soluble carbohydrate-free dry matter (WSC-free DM) and WSC were evaluated within and above the elongation zone of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) leaf blades during light and darkness. Imported DM used for WSC-free DM synthesis during darkness (67% of the total in experiment I and 59% in experiment II) was greater than during light (47% in both experiments), suggesting that the 65% higher leaf elongation rate during darkness was accompanied by higher rates of synthesis of cellular structural components. Deposition rates of WSC in the basal and central part of the elongation zone (0-20 mm from the ligule) were similar during light and darkness, but above 20 millimeters WSC deposition occurred during light and WSC loss occurred during darkness. WSC deposition and loss throughout the elongation zone and the recently expanded tissue were mostly due to net synthesis and degradation of fructan. Fructan was predominantly low molecular weight and contributed about 50% of the total osmotic partial pressure of WSC. In the most actively growing region, where fructan synthesis was most rapid, no diurnal change occurred in molecular weight distribution of fructan. WSC solute concentrations were diluted in the most actively growing tissue during darkness because net monosaccharide and fructan deposition were unaltered and sucrose deposition was decreased, but growth-associated water deposition was increased by 77%. Net rates of fructan synthesis and degradation were not related to tissue sucrose concentration, but appeared to respond to the balance between assimilate import and assimilate use in synthesis of cellular structural components (i.e. WSC-free DM) and deposition of monosaccharides. Fructan synthesized in tissue during most active elongation was degraded when the respective tissue reached the distal limit of the elongation zone where assimilate import in darkness was insufficient to maintain synthetic processes associated with further differentiation of cells. 相似文献

Solutions were obtained from the cell wall free space of red light-grown cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) hypocotyl sections by a low-speed centrifugation technique. The centrifugate contained NAD and peroxidase but no detectable cytoplasmic contamination, as indicated by the absence of the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from the cell wall solution. Peroxidase activity centrifuged from the cell wall of red light-grown cucumber hypocotyl section could be resolved into at least three cathodic isoforms and two anodic isoforms by isoelectric focusing. Treatment of red light-grown cucumber seedlings with a 10-minute pulse of high-intensity blue light increased the level of cell wall peroxidase by about 60% and caused a qualitative change in the anodic isoforms of this enzyme. The increase in peroxidase activity was detectable within 25 minutes after the start of the blue light pulse, was maximal at 35 minutes, and declined to control levels by 45 minutes of irradiation. The inhibitory effect of blue light on hypocotyl elongation was more rapid than the effect of blue light on total wall peroxidase activity, leading to the conclusion that growth and peroxidase activity are not causally related. 相似文献

Water-soluble carbohydrate composition of mature (ceased expanding) leaf blades and the elongation zone of developing leaf blades was characterized in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.), and timothy (Phleum pratense L.). These species were chosen because they differ in mean degree of polymerization (DP) of fructan in the mature leaf blade. Our objective was to compare the nature and DP of the fructan. Vegetative plants were grown with a 14-hour photoperiod and constant 21°C at the leaf base. Gel permeation chromatography of leaf blade extracts showed that the apparent mean fructan DP increased in the order wheat < tall fescue < timothy. Apparent mean DP of elongation zone fructan was higher than that of leaf blade fructan in wheat and timothy, but the reverse occurred for tall fescue. Low DP (≤10) and high DP (>10) pools were found in both tissues of tall fescue and wheat, but concentration of low DP fructan was very low in either tissue of timothy. All three species have high DP fructan. Comigration with standards on thin-layer chromotography showed that wheat contained 1-kestose and a noninulin fructan oligomer series. Tall fescue contained neokestose, 1-kestose and higher oligosaccharides that comigrated with neokestose-based compounds and inulins. Thin-layer chromatography showed that small amounts of fructose-containing oligosaccharides were present in timothy. 相似文献

High concentrations of water-soluble carbohydrates, mainly fructan, accumulate in the growth zone of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) leaf blades. We studied sucrose-hydrolyzing activities in the leaf growth zone because of their importance in carbohydrate partitioning. Sucrose hydrolysis in the basal 1.5 cm was largely due to fructosyltransferases, which had activities up to 10 times higher than in fully developed leaf tissue. Three fructosyltransferases (F1, F2, and F3) were purified from the leaf growth zone. Each synthesized, from either sucrose or 1-kestose, a mixture of trisaccharides and higher-order oligofructans identical with the low-degree of polymerization fructan extracted from similar plant tissue. The highly purified fructosyltransferases retained ability (13%) to transfer fructose from sucrose to water. Time-dependent and substrate-dependent studies, using sucrose as the substrate, showed proportional production of fructose and glucose, indicating that both products are from the same enzyme. Fructosyltransferase was calculated to contribute about half the total transfer of fructose to water in the basal 1.5 cm. Invertase activity increased to near 2.0 cm when fructosyl transfer to sucrose and other oligofructans decreased. Invertase was the major activity for sucrose hydrolysis at positions distal to 3.0 cm. 相似文献

Elongation of onion (Allium cepa L.) roots was highly stimulated by ascorbate (ASC) and its natural precursor I-galactone-[gamma]-lactone (GL). When incubation media were supplemented with lycorine (Lyc), an inhibitor of the ASC biosynthesis, root growth was negligible even in the presence of ASC or GL. ASC completely inhibited in vitro guaiacol peroxidase activities that were isolated from both the apoplast and the cell wall. However, ferulic-acid-dependent peroxidase from the cell wall was partially inhibited by ASC, whereas ferulic acid peroxidase activity from the apoplastic fluid was completely inhibited by ASC as long as ASC was present in the assay medium. ASC content in cells was increased by preincubations with ASC or GL, whereas Lyc reduced it. On the other hand, ASC or GL treatments decreased both apoplast and cell-wall-bound peroxidase activities, whereas Lyc had a slight stimulating effect. These results are discussed on the basis of a possible control of root elongation by ASC via its action on peroxidases that are involved in the regulation of cell-wall extensibility. 相似文献

Tall fescue leaf blades elongate at near constant rates during most of the light and dark periods of the diurnal cycle, with the dark rate being higher by 60 to 65%. Our objective was to determine relationships among diurnal rates of leaf elongation, deposition of water and deposition of dry matter (DM) into the elongation zone. Two separate experiments were conducted, both with a 15-hour photoperiod and constant 21°C at the growth zone. Increased rates of leaf elongation in darkness were due to proportionally increased rates of elongation of 4-millimeter segments of the elongation zone. Length of the total elongation zone was 30 millimeters in both light and darkness. The spatial distribution of water contents in the elongation zone varied little during the diurnal cycle. Thus, dark stimulation of leaf elongation rate (+65%) and of water deposition (+77%) into elongation zones were similar. Water content per unit leaf length increased by 50% between the basal and distal limits of the elongation zone, indicating that tissue also grew in the lateral and vertical dimensions. Longitudinal growth of tissue, however, allowed 5 to 7 times more water deposition into the elongation zone than growth in cross-sectional area. This relationship was similar in light and darkness. In both light and darkness net rates of DM deposition (microgram per millimeter leaf length per hour) increased from the zone of cell division towards the region of most active elongation, 10 to 15 millimeters from the ligule, then decreased towards the distal end of the elongation zone. Net DM deposition rates (microgram per hour) integrated over the 30-millimeter elongation zone were similar during light and darkness. Thus, DM in the elongation zone was diluted during darkness as a result of increased water deposition. Net DM deposition rates at and above the distal end of the elongation zone were clearly positive during the light, but were close to zero or negative in darkness. Thus, DM deposition into the elongation zone and the adjacent recently expanded tissue was differentially affected in the diurnal cycle, DM deposition occurred in both tissues in light, but was restricted to the elongation zone in darkness. 相似文献

Two maize genotypes differing in leaf elongation rate (high-LER and low-LER) were used for the investigation of the effects of nitrogen deficiency on leaf growth and development and activity of enzyme cell wall peroxidase in the leaf growth zone. Plants were grown in a growth cabinet in perlite as a substrate and watered with complete N-NO3 solution (+N) and N-NO3 deficient solution (–N). Comparison between the investigated genotypes showed that final leaf length in both N treatments was related with LER, but not with the duration of leaf elongation. Faster leaf elongation rate in high-LER compared with low-LER genotype, was associated with longer growth zone, a bigger number of cells in it, and higher cell flux rate, although cell elongation rate was similar in both genotypes. These lines of evidence indirectly indicated that leaves of the faster growing genotype were characterized by higher meristematic activity. Nitrogen deficiency reduced the flux of cells and cell elongation rate, length of cell division zone and the number of cells in whole zone, significantly for both genotypes, although duration of cell elongation was increased and final epidermal cell length was unchanged. These results showed that N deficiency reduced both cell division and cell elongation, which in turn resulted in decreased leaf length and prolonged time for leaf development. Nitrogen deficiency significantly increased both bulk and segmental cell wall peroxidase activity in the growth zone of both investigated genotypes, thus showing an interaction between leaf growth cessation and enzyme activity. 相似文献

Previous work on the adaptation of maize (Zea mays) primary roots to water deficit showed that cell elongation is maintained preferentially toward the apex, and that this response involves modification of cell wall extension properties. To gain a comprehensive understanding of how cell wall protein (CWP) composition changes in association with the differential growth responses to water deficit in different regions of the elongation zone, a proteomics approach was used to examine water soluble and loosely ionically bound CWPs. The results revealed major and predominantly region-specific changes in protein profiles between well-watered and water-stressed roots. In total, 152 water deficit-responsive proteins were identified and categorized into five groups based on their potential function in the cell wall: reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism, defense and detoxification, hydrolases, carbohydrate metabolism, and other/unknown. The results indicate that stress-induced changes in CWPs involve multiple processes that are likely to regulate the response of cell elongation. In particular, the changes in protein abundance related to ROS metabolism predicted an increase in apoplastic ROS production in the apical region of the elongation zone of water-stressed roots. This was verified by quantification of hydrogen peroxide content in extracted apoplastic fluid and by in situ imaging of apoplastic ROS levels. This response could contribute directly to the enhancement of wall loosening in this region. This large-scale proteomic analysis provides novel insights into the complexity of mechanisms that regulate root growth under water deficit conditions and highlights the spatial differences in CWP composition in the root elongation zone. 相似文献
