Increased phosphate concentration, higher temperature and addition of glucose all increased the number of fronds and turions of the duckweed Spirodela polyrhiza formed under in vitro conditions. Increasing the number of turions by increasing the plant biomass does not mean that the developmental process (switch of the programme of the primordia from vegetative fronds toward resting turions) has been specifically influenced. The specific turion yield (STY; number of turions formed by one frond) and the time of onset of turion formation have been used as more specific measures of turion induction. At more than 30 µm initial phosphate the STY was increased by lower temperature (15 °C) and became independent of the phosphate concentration. Between 10 and 30 µm and at higher temperatures (25 °C) the STY was increased by lower phosphate levels. The stimulatory effect of lower temperature was more pronounced than that of lower phosphate concentrations. Decreased phosphate concentration highly accelerated the formation of the first turions. The influence of low temperature was small at lower phosphate concentration but became dominant at higher concentrations (especially in autotrophic cultures). Low phosphate levels (e.g. 10 µm ) and low temperatures (e.g. 15 °C) both represent specific turion‐inducing factors having significant interactive effects. In S. polyrhiza, these signals may replace the interactive effects of photoperiods and low temperature known from other hydrophytes in turion induction under natural conditions. 相似文献

The turions of Potamogeton crispus L. develop in early summer and function in propagation and dispersal. Under natural conditions during longday periods, an average minimum air temperature of more than 12°C was found to be important for turion formation. Experiments with controlled environments indicate that both temperature and photoperiod regulate turion formation. Turions can be induced at 13°C or above but not at 8 or 10°C. At a temperature range of 13–24°C turions form in both 12- and 16-h days, but not in 8-h days. By increasing temperature from 24 to 30 or 35°C turions can be induced under 8-h days. Light intensity was found to be important in the formation of turions. 相似文献

Abstract: Turion (survival organ) formation in Spirodela polyrhiza includes a switch in the programming of the primordia from the formation of vegetative fronds toward resting turions. The specific turion yield (SY; number of turions formed by one frond) is used to evaluate the effect of three turion-inducing signals: low phosphate concentration (depleted due to frond growth), low temperature (15 °C) and exogenously applied abscisic acid (1 μM). The formation of turions was observed in the presence of any of the turion-inducing factors in all three clones of S. polyrhiza investigated (clones 9256 from Finland, SJ from Germany and SC from Cuba). The clone SC showed no specific induction by low temperature or phosphate limitation in one nutrient medium. Regardless of the specific signal applied, the SYs were highest in clone 9256 and lowest in clone SC, demonstrating signal-independent clonal differences. Clonal differences are therefore located in the developmental-specific common phase of the transduction chains leading to turion formation. We intend to use clonal differences in the molecular analysis of turion formation, e.g., by cDNA-based amplified fragment length polymorphism, to distinguish signal-specific and developmental-specific gene expression. In contrast, the total turion yield is useful in an ecological context to evaluate the number of turions available to support the survival of a population of plants but gives little information about the physiological process. 相似文献

The exogenous application of hormones has led to their implication in a number of processes within the plant. However, proof of their function in vivo depends on quantitative data demonstrating that the exogenous concentration used to elicit a response leads to tissue hormone levels within the physiological range. Such proof is often lacking in many investigations. We are using abscisic acid (ABA)-induced turion formation in Spirodela polyrrhiza L. to investigate the mechanism by which a hormone can trigger a morphogenic switch. In this paper, we demonstrate that the exogenous concentration of ABA used to induce turions leads to tissue concentrations of ABA within the physiological range, as quantified by both enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and high-performance liquid chromatography/gas chromatography-electron capture detection analysis. These results are consistent with ABA having a physiological role in turion formation, and they provide an estimate of the changes in endogenous ABA concentration required if environmental effectors of turion formation (e.g. nitrate deficiency, cold) act via an increased level of ABA. In addition, we show that the (+)- and (-)-enantiomers of ABA are equally effective in inducing turions. Moreover, comparison of the ABA; levels attained after treatment with (+)-, (-)-, and ([plus or minus])-ABA and their effect on turion induction and comparison of the effectiveness of ABA on turion induction under different pH regimes suggest that ABA most likely interacts with a plasmalemma-located receptor system to induce turion formation. 相似文献

The turions of Myriophyllum verticillatum, an aquatic vascularplant, develop in the fall and function in propagation and dispersalas well as in over-wintering. Experiments with controlled evnironmentsindicate that both temperature and photoperiod regulate turionformation. Turions can be induced at 15°C or lower, butnot at 20°C. At 15°C, turions form in both 8- and 12-hrdays, but not in 16-hr days. Plants collected in early springdo not form turions readily in response to short days unlesspreviously exposed to long days; thus, turion formation is along-day-short-day response. This combination of photoperiodand temperature requirements probably prevents turion developmentin early spring when the temperature and photoperiod are similarto those in the fall. Treatment of plants with ABA (105M) enhances turion development under marginally inductive conditions(12-hr days at 15°C) but cannot induce it under long days.On the other hand, the cytokinin benzyladenine (105 M)blocks turion formation. GA3 (105 M) and AMO-1618 (105M) exert only small qualitative effects on turion development,while IAA (105 M) retards it. During turion development,the level of ABAlike activity and of one or two unidentifiedinhibitors increases. Cytokinin activity decreases at the startof turion formation, increases during development, then decreasesat abscission. Thus two lines of evidence suggest that a decreasein cytokinin activity and an increase in acidic inhibitor activityplay important roles in turion induction.

Two main dormancy states, innate and imposed dormancy, were characterized in turions (winter buds) of the aquatic carnivorous plant Aldrovanda vesiculosa L. (Droseraceae) kept at 3 ± 1 °C in a refrigerator over the winter. As a result of the breaking of imposed dormancy by a temperature increase (at 15 – 20 °C), some of the turions rose to the water surface within 1 – 3 d and germinated. Turion leaves contained large lacunae with a slimy reticulum and were filled by water over winter. As a result of breaking imposed dormancy, the proportion of gas volume in inner turion leaves rose from 10 – 20 % to 100 % of leaf lacunae volume. The aerobic dark respiration rate of the turions [0.74 – 1.5 μmol O2) kg−1(FM) s−1] slightly increased during innate dormancy after 1 – 2 d at 20 °C, while it was almost constant during the breaking of imposed dormancy. The anaerobic fermentation rate of the turions was only 1.5 – 7 % of the oxygen respiration rate and also was constant during the breaking of imposed dormancy. In turions, the content of glucose, fructose, and sucrose was the same for the two states of dormancy, but starch content was greatly reduced for the imposed dormancy (10 – 11 vs. 32 % DM). It may be suggested that a temperature increase causes an increase of fermentation or respiration which is responsible for the evolution of gas in turion lacunae and, thus, for turion rising. 相似文献

Formation of turions, the vegetative perennation organs, plays an important role in the survival strategy of Spirodela polyrhiza (L.) Schleiden. Turion formation [quantified as number of turions formed per frond; specific turion yield (SY)] was investigated in 27 clones collected from a wide geographical range. The Pearson correlation was tested with (1) duration of growing season (monthly average temperature of ≥10°C), (2) relative growth rate of the fronds, (3) longitude and latitude, and (4) several climatic parameters, in all possible single and multiple regressions. All single coefficients of determination were below 0.10. The highest correlation (R2 = 0.61; adjusted for the number of explaining variables 0.54) was found in a multiple linear regression with the following five parameters: average temperatures over the year and during the growing season, duration of the growing season and precipitation over the year and during the growth period. All these parameters were shown to have significant contributions. This equation was used successfully to predict the SY of five newly isolated clones. Finally, on the basis of all 32 clones the following conclusions were drawn: The mean annual temperature has the highest impact. It is suggested that lower temperatures decrease the survival rate of turions and that adaptation refers to increasing SY. The different levels of SY in the clones (ranging from SY = 0.22 to 5.9) were detected even after several years of in vitro cultivation. It is therefore assumed that these adaptations to the climatic conditions are genetically determined. 相似文献

Three clones of Spirodela polyrhiza L. (Schleid.) formed dormant bodies called turions. A clone from Puerto Rico did not form turions under all conditions tried. In those clones producing turions, formation was stimulated by the addition of sucrose (10–50 mM) to the nutrient solution. Increased levels of Ca(NO3)2 plus sucrose stimulated turion production. In the absence of NO3–, Ca++ was more effective than K+ in stimulating turion formation. Turion buoyancy was not light dependent, nor was it promoted by sucrose. Normal turions required light for germination, whereas sucrose-induced turions germinated in the dark. Dark germination was not promoted by either Ca++ or K+. Sucrose stimulation of turion formation and subsequent promotion of dark germination was attributed to metabolic rather than osmotic effects. One hundred mM sucrose concentrations inhibited turion buoyancy and germination. Turions formed one primary abscission layer which separated them from the stolon and the mother frond. Subepidermal idioblasts appeared to seal the stolon stump after separation. 相似文献

Environmental unpredictability is known to result in the evolution of bet‐hedging traits. Variable dormancy enhances survival through harsh conditions, and is widely cited as a diversification bet‐hedging trait. The floating aquatic plant, Spirodela polyrhiza (Greater Duckweed), provides an opportunity to study diversification because although partially reliable seasonal cues exist, its growing season is subject to an unpredictable and literally “hard” termination when the surface water freezes, and overwinter survival depends on a switch from production of normal daughter fronds to production of dense, sinking “turions” prior to freeze‐over. The problem for S. polyrhiza is that diversified dormancy behavior must be generated among clonally produced, genetically identical offspring. Variation in phenology has been observed in the field, but its sources are unknown. Here, we investigate sources of phenological variation in turion production, and test the hypothesis that diversification in turion phenology is generated within genetic lineages through effects of parental birth order. As expected, phenotypic plasticity to temperature is expressed along a thermal gradient; more interestingly, parental birth order was found to have a significant and strong effect on turion phenology: Turions are produced earlier by late birth‐order parents. These results hold regardless of whether turion phenology is measured as first turion birth order, time to first turion, or turion frequency. This study addresses a question of current interest on potential mechanisms generating diversification, and suggests that consistent phenotypic differences across birth orders generate life history variation. 相似文献

The aquatic duckweed Spirodela polyrhiza propagates itself vegetatively by forming turions – bud‐like perennation organs – in the autumn, which spend the winter on the bottom of ponds and then germinate in the following spring and proliferate on the water surface. Newly formed turions usually require a period of cold after‐ripening and light to germinate effectively, but an ample supply of exogenous sugar can lead to germination even in the dark and independent of after‐ripening. The results of the present study indicate that the availability of readily metabolised carbohydrates is a determining factor for turion germination. Freshly harvested turions do not contain soluble, low‐molecular weight carbohydrates at a level sufficient to allow germination to take place, but after‐ripened turions do. Augmentation of the soluble carbohydrate content during after‐ripening derives from gradual breakdown of reserve starch of the turions. The long time required for any germination to be observed in turions incubated in darkness and the limited frequency of germination in the dark (about 50% of turion population), even with an ample external sugar, supply emphasise that both after‐ripening and light are essential for ensuring rapid germination and subsequent frond proliferation at an ecologically appropriate time. The carbohydrate supply required for rapid proliferation of the fronds produced at germination is provided by the rapid light‐induced breakdown of turion reserve starch. 相似文献

Abscisic-acid-induced turion formation in Spirodela polyrrhiza L. I. Production and development of the turion 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
Abstract The production, growth, and development of the abscisic-acid-induced turion (a small dormant bud) of Spirodela polyrrhiza were investigated. Addition of ABA to a culture of S. polyrrhiza resulted in growth inhibition at concentrations as low as 10−6molm−3, growth being completely arrested at 10−2 mol m. Over a single order of magnitude range around I0−4molm−3, ABA also induced the production of turions. The range of turion-producing concentrations of ABA was found to be much narrower than previously reported, turion production having a clearly defined threshold, optimum, and upper limit. The possibility that growth inhibition and turion formation are integrally linked aspects of a single response is discussed. Only primordia ≤0.7 mm long at the time of ABA addition could be induced to develop into turions and the events leading to turion formation were found to be reversible up to 72 h in ABA . It is concluded that in terms of turion formation there is a sensitivity window to abscisic acid lasting some 4–20h in the normal developmental life of frond cells. Providing cells experience the appropriate signal in this sensitivity window they initiate a new programme which eventually leads to turion formation. Microscopical analysis showed that the cells within this sensitivity window were still actively dividing. It is suggested that the developmental switch-over to rapid cell expansion and separation marks the end of this ABA sensitivity window. 相似文献

The relative impacts of daytime and night-time warming on photosynthetic capacity in Populus deltoides 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
In order to investigate the relative impacts of increases in day and night temperature on tree carbon relations, we measured night‐time respiration and daytime photosynthesis of leaves in canopies of 4‐m‐tall cottonwood (Populus deltoides Bartr. ex Marsh) trees experiencing three daytime temperatures (25, 28 or 31 °C) and either (i) a constant nocturnal temperature of 20 °C or (ii) increasing nocturnal temperatures (15, 20 or 25 °C). In the first (day warming only) experiment, rates of night‐time leaf dark respiration (Rdark) remained constant and leaves displayed a modest increase (11%) in light‐saturated photosynthetic capacity (Amax) during the day (1000–1300 h) over the 6 °C range. In the second (dual night and day warming) experiment, Rdark increased by 77% when nocturnal temperatures were increased from 15 °C (0·36 µmol m?2 s?1) to 25 °C (0·64 µmol m?2 s?1). Amax responded positively to the additional nocturnal warming, and increased by 38 and 64% in the 20/28 and 25/31 °C treatments, respectively, compared with the 15/25 °C treatment. These increases in photosynthetic capacity were associated with strong increases in the maximum carboxylation rate of rubisco (Vcmax) and ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate (RuBP) regeneration capacity mediated by maximum electron transport rate (Jmax). Leaf soluble sugar and starch concentration, measured at sunrise, declined significantly as nocturnal temperature increased. The nocturnal temperature manipulation resulted in a significant inverse relationship between Amax and pre‐dawn leaf carbohydrate status. Independent measurements of the temperature response of photosynthesis indicated that the optimum temperature (Topt) acclimated fully to the 6 °C range of temperature imposed in the daytime warming. Our findings are consistent with the hypothesis that elevated night‐time temperature increases photosynthetic capacity during the following light period through a respiratory‐driven reduction in leaf carbohydrate concentration. These responses indicate that predicted increases in night‐time minimum temperatures may have a significant influence on net plant carbon uptake. 相似文献

The life cycle and growth ofPotamogeton crispus L. were studied in a shallow pond, Ojaga-ike. With respect to the shoot elongation and seed and turion formations, the life
cycle of this plant in the pond could be divided into following five stages: germination, inactive growth, active growth,
reproductive and dormant stages. It was suggested that the plant showed these successive stages depending mainly upon water
temperature. The turions germinated on the bottom in autumn when the water temperature fell below ca. 20 C. The plant showed
hardly any growth during winter (December—early March) when the temperature was below 10 C. In the spring when the bottom
water temperature rose to above 10 C (mid-March), the plant started to grow again and the shoot elongated rapidly at the rate
of 4.2 cm day−1 until the shoot apex reached the pond surface in late April. Both the increment of node number and the internodal elongation
were associated with this rapid shoot growth. On 10 May (last sampling date), the mean values of shoot length, internodal
length and the number of nodes estimated for 10 predominant plants were 238.2±5.6 cm, 7.1±0.8 cm and 34.9±4.0 cm, respectively.
The turion formation and flowering occurred during the period from mid-April to mid-May when the surface water temperature
ranged 19 and 22 C. The dry weight of a plant reached the maximum mean value of 1180 mg on 10 May. At its peak biomass, an
individual plant produced 1–10 turions (5.5 on average) of which the mean individual turion dry weight was 53.2 mg. The turion
dry weight accounted for ca. 42% of the total plant biomass m−2 at that time. 相似文献

Growth and turion formation of Potamogeton crispus in response to different phosphorus concentrations in water 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The vegetative growth and turion formation of Potamogeton crispus, a submersed aquatic macrophyte, was investigated under a range of phosphorus (P) concentrations (0.025, 0.25, 2.5 and 25 mg P L?1) in the ambient water free of algae, aiming to identify the responses of submersed aquatic macrophytes to nutrient enrichment, a common eutrophication problem in China and worldwide. Plant growth was not affected by different P concentrations in terms of biomass accumulation of stems and leaves. However, the contents of chlorophyll a and starch in plants decreased with increasing water P levels, whereas chlorophyll b and carotenoids declined with P level ranging from 0.025 to 2.5 mg P L?1. The soluble sugar content decreased when water P concentration increased up to 2.5 mg L?1. The P content in plants increased with increasing water P levels, whereas plant N content decreased and soluble protein increased when water P concentration increased over 0.25 mg L?1, implying that P. crispus may have modified its metabolism to adapt to water P availability. When P concentration increased to 25 mg L?1, the number and dry matter production of turions per plant decreased significantly. Meanwhile, there was a significant reduction in turion weight and the accumulations of soluble sugar and starch in turion, when water P concentration was over 0.25 mg L?1. The results suggest that turion formation in P. crispus is sensitive to P concentration in the ambient water, and high P levels may lead to decreases in P. crispus populations due to the decline in turion production. 相似文献

Some clones of Spirodela polyrrhiza form dormant bodies called turions which require several weeks of chilling treatment before they proceed to renew growth and develop into vegetative fronds. The individual fronds of Spirodela are less than 5 mm long and can be grown aseptically in liquid culture. Turion formation and germination can serve as a bioassay for the various compounds involved in dormancy development.
Turion formation can be induced by manipulation of light intensity during the day, photoperiod, night temperature, day temperature, and concentration of nitrate in the culture medium. Different clones of Spirodela from northeastern United States, Puerto Rico, and Argentina had different requirements for turion formation. The clones from Argentina and Puerto Rico did not form turions under any of the experimental conditions imposed. Turions of some clones required chilling treatments for renewed vegetative growth while others did not. Both gibberellic acid and long photoperiods were required to bypass the chilling requirements of some clones, but not others.

Turion yield in Spirodela polyrhiza, strain SJ, is increasedby increasing the daily light period. This effect is more pronouncedin autotrophic than in mixotrophic conditions. Night-break irradiation(15 mins) increased turion yield by 150 % under the conditionsof an 8-h daily light period. Besides the effect of night-breakirradiation, end-of-day far-red irradiation decreased turionyield with increasing photoperiod, whereas end-of-day red irradiationwas without any effect. This demonstrates the promoting effectof the Pfr form of phytochrome on formation of light-grown turions. Formation of dark-grown turions was increased by about 240%by a single red light pulse and was reversed by an immediatelyapplied far-red light pulse. Consequently, under heterotrophicconditions phytochrome modulates the turion formation process. Spirodela polyrhiza L. Schleiden, duckweed, Lemnaceae, photomorphogenesis, phytochrome, turion 相似文献

Red-light-induced (via phytochrome) germination decreased with increasing numbers of turions per germination flask (overcrowding). Three hypotheses
concerning the mechanism of this germination inhibition were tested, related to abscisic acid, ethylene, and oxygen deficiency:
(i) Although abscisic acid is a powerful inhibitor of turion germination it had to be excluded as a cause, because abscisic
acid was not secreted from turions into the nutrient solution, (ii) Ethylene (ethrel) strongly inhibited growth of newly formed
sprouts, but germination response itself was not inhibited, (iii) Germination inhibition did not appear if short light pulses
were substituted by continuous irradiation. It reappeared in the presence of the photosynthesis inhibitor 3-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)-l,
1-dimethylurea, but it was not observed in aerated nutrient solutions, or when Petri dishes instead of Erlenmeyer flasks were
used. Decreased oxygen concentrations in the nutrient solution were produced by turion respiration. Consequently, anaerobiosis
within the nutrient solution caused by turion respiration was the reason for germination inhibition by overcrowding. 相似文献

The influence of daily photoperiod (8, 16, 24 h) on eight clones of Spirodela polyrhiza was tested in two different nutrient media. The number of vegetative fronds and resting turions formed after 50 days of cultivation were scored. The specific turion yield (STY; number of turions formed per vegetative frond) was used to evaluate the effectiveness of turion formation of the tested clones. All clones formed turions in both nutrient media. The STY varied substantially between the different clones, ranging from 0.22 +/- 0.03 (clone SC from Cuba) to 3.9 +/- 0.3 (clone 9256 from Finland) in continuous light. The STY increased with increasing duration of the photoperiod. This increase may have been due to the extended period of photosynthesis rather than that of a photoperiodic long-day response. Shorter photoperiods did not stimulate turion formation in any of the clones. S. polyrhiza is a day-neutral plant with respect to turion formation, as noted previously (Appenroth et al. 1990. Annals of Botany 66: 163-168). In accordance with this conclusion, no correlation was detected between the STY and the latitude at which the clones occur naturally. Environmental factors other than shortening of photoperiods seem to be effective in signalling seasonal changes of growth conditions in advance to S. polyrhiza. 相似文献

Germination of Spirodela polyrhiza turions: the role of culture conditions during turion development
The rapidly germinating "old" turions of Spirodela polyrhizawere shown to derive mainly from the slowly germinating "young"turions. This modification to "old" turions could occur evenin isolated "young" turions, and was accelerated by sucrose.It is suggested that this modification is a form of turion senescenceand that turion initiation and maturation are strongly influencedby exogenous carbon and nitrogen sources.
