Light was required for induction of nitrate reductase (NR, E.C. 1.6.6.1) in intact cotyledons of 2-day old seedlings ofLactuca sativa L. Molybdate strongly enhanced efficiency of induction. Benzyladenine (BA), gibberellin, and succinic acid-2,2-dimethylhydrazide
reduced the enzyme activity. BA thrice enhanced incorporation of labelled leucine to the protein fraction. (2-chloroethyl)trimethylammonium
chloride did not affect NR activity and markedly inhibited greening and protein synthesis. KNO3 stimulated protein synthesis as well as growth of the cotyledons. 相似文献

Cytokinins in addition to nitrate induce nitrate reductase activity (NRA) in some plants. Effects of cytokinins onNRA was investigated in stem pith parenchyma of kale, intact wheat and barley seedlings and isolated cucumber cotyledons.
The most profound effect onNRA was found in barley and wheat seedlings.NRA in seedlings sprayed with 100 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) for three subsequent days was increased in leaves and decreased
in roots. These changes were further enhanced in seedlings grown in nutrient solution lacking nitrate:NRA in wheat and barley leaves was increased by 57% and 202%, respectively, in plants supplied with nitrate theNRA increase was not significant: in wheat and barley leaves by 22% and 9%, respectively.
Similar effect of BAP and kinetin was found in kale stem parenchyma and cucumber cotyledons. The cytokinin kinetin or BAP
alone increasedNRA about twice in kale and three times in cucumber. Addition of nitrate to the medium enhanced the effect of kinetin in kale
discs, but the two effects were not additive. Additive effect of nitrate and BAP onNRA was found in cucumber cotyledons in light.
In general NRA was more affected by cytokinins in intact seedlings of wheat and barley as compared to explanted tissue of
kale and cucumber, and lack of nitrogen made their effect more expressive. 相似文献

The effects of NO3
– and BAP on organogenesis in shoot primordia of Utricularia praelonga subcultured in B5 liquid medium were studied. In B5 liquid basal medium supplemented with 24.73 mM KNO3 and 2.0 mg/l BAP the subcultured shoot primordia continuously multiplied into numerous small, globular masses, while with
dilution of the KNO3 to 3 mM organogenesis was promoted. Pulse treatment of the shoot primordia with 3 mM KNO3 in B5 liquid medium for 72 h and then transplantation to the B5 basal liquid-medium induced meristemoids in this tissue.
When the shoot primordia regenerated meristemoids, they never reverted back into the proliferation cycle. The addition of
BAP in the B5 liquid medium with 3 mM KNO3 regulated the differentiation rate of the stems and leaves in the meristemoids induced in the masses of shoot primordia.
The control produced 3 parts stems to 1 part leaves; medium with 0.02 mg/l BAP regenerated approximately 2 parts stems and
1 part leaves; that of 0.20 mg/l BAP 1 part stems and 2 parts leaves; and medium with 2.00 mg/l BAP regenerated leaves only.

Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seedlings pretreated with different hormones viz. kinetin, gibberellic acid and abscisic acid were subjected to different
N-forms. The seedlings were treated with different concentrations of KNO3, NH4Cl and NH4NO3 and the changes in nitrate reductase activity were seen in light and dark conditions in the cotyledons. Nitrate reductase
activity was affected differently by hormone application. Nitrate increased and ammonia decreased nitrate reductase activity;
in both light and dark-grown seedlings KNO3 induced more in vitro nitrate reductase activity. NH

Abstract. The effects of norflurazon (San 9789) on light-increased extractable NADH nitrate reductase activity (NRA) in soybean seedlings were studied. Continuous white light (W) increased NRA steadily in root and cotyledonary tissues over a 5 d period. Morflurazon, a pyridazinone herbicide which causes chlorophyll bleaching in W, reduced the initial NRA induction rate in roots and cotyledons. However, in cotyledons of norfiurazon-treated plants NRA increased at a more rapid rate than in the control after 24 h of W, with activity levels reaching three times those of control seedlings after 5 d. NRA induced by W in control and norflurazon-treated cotyledons was fluence-rate dependent. Continuous FR induced equal amounts of NRA in control and norflurazontreated tissues, suggesting that the superinduceable NRA of norflurazon-treated plants under W is not phytochrome induced. The FR-induced NRA of control and norflurazon-treated cotyledons had pH optima of 6.6, but during development under W the pH optimum of control cotyledons changed from 6.3 to between 6.6 and 7.1. The pH optimum of the norflurazon-induced NRA of the cotyledon under W was about 7.5. The NADH/NADPH NRA ratio after 4 d of W was 1.3 in control and 2.5 in norflurazontreated cotyledons. These data indicate that photosynthelic pigments are involved only secondarily in light-induction of NRA in this system. 相似文献

The effect of exogenous NH4+ on the induction of nitrate reductase activity (NRA; EC 1.6.6.1) and nitrite reductase activity (NiRA; EC 1.7.7.1) in roots of 8-day-old intact barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) seedlings was studied. Enzyme activities were induced with 0.1, 1 or 10 mM NO3+ in the presence of 0, 1 or 10 mM NH4+, Exogenous NH4+ partially inhibited the induction of NRA when roots were exposed to 0.1 mM, but not to 1 or 10 mM NO3+, In contrast, the induction of NiRA was inhibited by NH4+ at all NO3+ levels. Maximum inhibition of the enzyme activities occurred at 1.0 mM NH4+ Pre-treatment with NH4+ had no effect on the subsequent induction of NRA in the absence of additional NH4+ whereas the induction of NiRA in NH4+-pretreated roots was inhibited in the absence of NH4+ At 10 mM NO3+ L-methionine sulfoximine stimulated the induction of NRA whether or not exogenous NH4+ was present. In contrast, the induction of NiRA was inhibited by L-methionine sulfoximine irrespective of NH4+ supply. During the postinduction phase, exogenous NH4+ decreased NRA in roots supplied with 0.1 mM but not with 1mM NH3+ whereas, NiRA was unaffected by NH4+ at either substrate concentration. The results indicate that exogenous NH4+ regulates the induction of NRA in roots by limiting the availability of NO3+. Conversely, it has a direct effect, independent of the availability of NO3+, on the induction of NiRA. The lack of an NH4+ effect on NiRA during the postinduction phase is apparently due to a slower turnover rate of that enzyme. 相似文献

Nitrate reductase activity (NRA) was found to be induced in9-day-old pumpkin seedlings by nitrate and light. NRA was greatestin leaves and cotyledons and in vitro measurements gave highervalues than in vitro measurements. NRA was found in roots bythe in vivo method but not by the in vitro method. NRA changedwith the age of the seedling with maximum activity in 7-day-oldcotyledons and 9-day-old roots of light grown plants; and rootsof 7-day-old etiolated plants. Little activity was found inetiolated cotyledons.

Nitrate reductase activity (NRA) was found in primary roots, but not in foliage of red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) seedlings. Nitrate induced NRA:NH4+ did not induce and slightly depressed NRA in older seedlings. Induction required 8 hours and, once induced, NRA decreased slowly in the absence of exogenous NO3−. Seedlings were grown in perlite with a complete nutrient solution containing NH4+ to limit NR induction. Established seedlings were stressed with nutrient solutions at pH 3, 4, or 5 supplemented with Cl− salts of Al, Cd, Pb, or Zn each at two concentrations. NRA in primary root tips was measured at 2, 14, 28, and 42 days. NRA induction was greatest at pH 3, and remained high during the period of study. NRA induction at pH 4 was lower. Metal ions suppressed NRA at pH 3 and 5, but enhanced NRA at pH 4. It is concluded that acidity and soluble metals in the root environment of red spruce are unlikely to be important factors in nitrogen transformations in red spruce roots. 相似文献

Regulation by the active form of phytochrome (PFR ) and the effect of Ca2+ was examined with nitrate reductase (NR) in etiolated cucumber ( Cucumis sativus cv. Beilpuig). Nitrate reductase activity (NRA) was studied in excised cotyledons of cucumber seedlings grown in distilled water and in darkness for seven days at 24 ± 0.5°C. All experiments were performed in the dark and a dim green safelight was used during analyses. In etiolated cucumber cotyledons NRA was induced by nitrate and a brief irradiation (15 min) with red light (R) resulted in 62% increase in NRA. This effect was nullified when R was followed immediately by a brief (5 min) far-red light (FR). NRA also showed a semidian (12 h) rhythmicity. Both PFR , and nitrate effects were age dependent. Calcium seemed to be involved since the phytochrome effect was only observed when calcium was supplied in the external solution. The effect of R on NRA depended on the period of calcium nitrate incubation. An external supply of calcium ionophore mimicked the effect of R and, if supplied to R-irradiated cotyledons, produced a higher NR level than that caused by R alone. This suggested that intracellular free calcium was involved. 相似文献

We have developed a highly efficient three-stage protocol for plant regeneration in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) from embryonal cotyledons. This protocol uses phenylacetic acid (PAA) for both shoot-bud induction and the elongation of smaller buds. The medium used for inducing bud formation from the cotyledons was modified MS medium supplemented with 3 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 0.5 mg/l PAA. Buds were elongated on MS medium supplemented either with only 0.2 mg/l gibberellic acid (GA3) or with 0.2 mg/l GA3 + 0.1 mg/l PAA + 0.3 mg/l BAP. The elongated shoots were then transferred onto rooting medium containing 1 mg/l PAA. The complete plantlets with well-developed roots were transferred to field conditions where they survived and set normal seeds. The induction of shoot buds from embryonal cotyledons was also observed on modified MS medium supplemented with 0.5-5 mg/l BAP in combination with 0.5-5 mg/l !-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). In this case, the formation of callus took place along with shoot-bud formation, which hindered further development of the latter. The presence of PAA with BAP in the primary bud induction medium promoted normal development and elongation of shoot buds. 相似文献

Conditions for plant regeneration from excised cotyledons of Vigna radiata were studied. Complete plant developed from the uncallused proximal ends of cotyledons on Murashige & Skoog's (MS), Gamborg's (B5) and C (MS salts + B5 vitamins) basal media. The basal medium C was found to be best for plant regeneration. Regeneration frequency, however, varied with genotype, size, orientation and age of explant and the different plant growth regulators combination in the medium. Addition of cytokinins induced callusing at the proximal ends of cotyledons followed by multiple shoot formation. Out of 6-benzyl aminopurine (BAP), kinetin (KIN), N (–2 isopentyl) adenine (2iP) and adenine sulphate (AS), only BAP and KIN were found to be more effective in enhancing the frequency of shoot regeneration. BAP at 1×10-1M induced maximum (60%) shoot regeneration whereas maximum number of shoots (8 to 9 shoots) per explant was observed with 5×10-6M BAP. Cotyledons excised from two-day old seedlings were most regenerative. The regenerative response of cotyledons decreased when sliced into two equal parts either longitudinally or transversely. Callusing and organogenic differentiation occured only if the petiolar end of cotyledons was in contact with medium. None of the tested treatments were effective in inducing shoot bud differentiation from subcultured callus. Well developed shoots rooted when incubated on half strength MS, MS and MS basal medium supplemented with IAA (5×10-6M). The rooted plants were transferred to pots and later established in the field with 60% success.Abbreviations AS

The cotyledons of soybean begin to develop photosynthetic capacity shortly after emergence. The cotyledons develop nitrate reductase (NR) activity in parallel with an increase in chlorophyll and a decrease in protein. In crude extracts of 5- to 8-day-old cotyledons, NR activity is greatest with NADH as electron donor. In extracts of older cotyledons, NR activity is greatest with NADPH. Blue-Sepharose was used to purify and separate the NR activities into two fractions. When the blue-Sepharose was eluted with NADPH, NR activity was obtained which was most active with NADPH as electron donor. Assays of the NADPH-eluted NR with different concentrations of nitrate revealed that the highest activity was obtained in 80 millimolar KNO3. Thus, this fraction has properties similar to the low nitrate affinity NAD(P)H:NR of soybean leaves. When 5- to 8-day-old cotyledons were extracted and purified, further elution of the blue-Sepharose with KNO3, subsequent to the NADPH elution, yielded an NR fraction most active with NADH. Assays of this fraction with different nitrate concentrations revealed that this NR had a higher nitrate affinity and was similar to the NADH:NR of soybean leaves. The KNO3-eluted NR fraction which was purified from the extracts of 9- to 14-day-old cotyledons, was most active with NADPH. The analysis of these fractions prepared from the extracts of older cotyledons indicated that residual NAD(P)H:NR contaminated the NADH:NR. Despite this complication, the pattern of development of the purified NR fractions was consistent with the changes observed in the crude extract NR activities. It was concluded that NADH:NR was most active in young cotyledons and that as the cotyledons aged the NAD(P)H:NR became more active. 相似文献

Somatic embryos were induced on peanut (Arachis hypogaea) leaflets from aseptically germinated embryo axes. Leaflet size influenced percent somatic embryogenesis; 5–8 mm long cut leaflets were superior to 2–3 mm long uncut leaflets. Maximum embryogenesis of 14.6% was obtained after a 15 d incubation on induction medium (modified MS with B5 vitamins, 30 g/l sucrose, 4 g/l Gel-Gro, 40 mg/l 2,4-D +0.2 mg/l kinetin) followed by transfer to a secondary medium with 5 mg/l 2,4-D+0.2 mg/l kinetin. Primary somatic embryos were fused along the axes with no distinct cotyledons, but secondary embryos had single axes with two cotyledons. Other treatments had lower percent embryogenesis, no secondary embryogenesis, and embryos with single axes with two cotyledons. Some somatic embryos converted into normal plants capable of greenhouse survival.Abbreviations MS

Cotyledons ofPhaseolus vulgaris L. contain small amounts of phaseollin and kievitone. Isolating the cotyledons from the plant does not alter phaseollin levels. Kievitone levels, however, although not affected in light-incubated cotyledons, increased rapidly in dark-incubated cotyledons. Abscisic acid (ABA) at 10-4 M stimulated the accumulation of phaseollin in excised cotyledons in both light and darkness, whereas benzylaminopurine (BAP) increased these levels only in the light. The kievitone level was influenced by ABA and BAP only in dark-incubated cotyledons, i.e., inhibited at 10-4 M. When excised cotyledons were treated with mercuric chloride, both phaseollin and kievitone accumulated rapidly in both light and darkness. The effect of ABA on these cotyledons was similar to that on non-treated cotyledons. The results demonstrate that the synthesis of the two phytoalexins is regulated by separate mechanisms and indicate that the phytoalexin composition is dependent on the physiological condition of the cotyledons. ABA and BAP may play a role in the resistance response of the plant.Abbreviations ABA

Nitrogen fixing plants of lucerne (Medicago sativa L. cv. Aragón) were grown in a glasshouse for three months in the absence of nitrate, and then supplied with 5 mM KNO3 for a week. In control (non-nitrate fed) plants, nitrate reductase activity (NRA EC 1.6.6.1) was detected only in nodules. After nitrate supply, root NRA showed a transient increase. Shoot NRA increased with time, paralleling changes in nitrate distribution; stem NRA represented nearly 50% of total NRA in plant tissues. Total nitrogen, expressed on a dry weight basis, tended to decrease in shoots upon nitrate supply. Bacteroid NRA (EC 1.7.99.4) showed a great variation depending on Rhizobium meliloti strains, ranging from 5 to 40% of total plant NRA. However, different Rhizobium strains did not give different results in terms of plant growth parameters, nitrate or organic nitrogen content. 相似文献

Role of sugars in nitrate utilization by roots of dwarf bean 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Nitrate uptake and in vivo, nitrate reductase activity (NRA) in roots of Phaseolus vulgaris, L. cv. Witte Krombek were measured in nitrogen-depleted plants of varying sugar status, Variation in sugar status was achieved at the start of nitrate nutrition by excision, ringing, darkness or administration of sugars to the root medium. The shape of the apparent induction pattern of nitrate uptake was not influenced by the sugar status of the absorbing tissue. When measured after 6 h of nitrate nutrition (0.1 mol m?3), steady state nitrate uptake and root NRA were in the order intact>dark>ringed>excised. Exogenous sucrose restored NRA in excised roots to the level of intact plants. The nitrate uptake rate of excised roots, however, was not fully restored by sucrose (0.03–300 mol m?3). When plants were decapitated after an 18 h NO3? pretreatment, the net uptake rate declined gradually to become negative after three hours. This decline was slowed down by exogenous fructose, whilst glucose rapidly (sometimes within 5 min) stimulated NG?3 uptake. Presumably due to a difference in NO3? due to a difference in NO3? uptake, the NRA of excised roots was also higher in the presence of glucose than in the presence of fructose after 6 h of nitrate nutrition. The sugar-stimulation of, oxygen consumption as well as the release of 14CO2 from freshly absorbed (U-14C) sugar was the same for glucose and fructose. Therefore, we propose a glucose-specific effect on NO3? uptake that is due to the presence of glucose rather than to its utilization in root respiration. A differential glucose-fructose effect on nitrate reductase activity independent of the effect on NO3? uptake was not indicated. A constant level of NRA occurred in roots of NO3? induced plants. Removal of nutrient nitrate from these plants caused an exponential NRA decay with an approximate half-life of 12 h in intact plants and 5.5 h in excised roots. The latter value was also found in roots that were excised in the presence of nitrate, indicating that the sugar status primarily determines the apparent rate of nitrate reductase decay in excised roots. 相似文献

Investigations were undertaken to achieve rapid multiplication and improvement of Origanum vulgare (a herbaceous, ornamental plant well known for its aromatic and medicinal value) through plant regeneration from callus. The explants (cotyledons, hypocotyl and root segments) excised from 15 d old aseptic seedlings were cultured on Gamborg's B5 medium supplemented with 2,4-D, NAA and BAP individually and in various combinations (at concentrations of 0,10–7,10–6 and 10–5 M). Best callus induction was noted on medium with 10–7 M 2,4-D alone. The cotyledonary expiants proved to be the best source for compact and nodulated callus. The subcultured cotyledonary calli showed shoot induction when transferred onto media supplemented with BAP alone orin combination with 10–7M or 10–6MNAA. However, 10–5M NAA completely suppressed the shoot inducing ability of BAP. In general, NAA promoted root induction from all explants used including cotyledonary callus. Best shoot induction was obtained on medium supplemented with 10–6M BAP+10–6MNAA. Both IBA and NAA at 10–6 M proved to be equally effective in induction of roots from the cut ends of 15–20 mm long shoots (excised from callus) in half-strength B5 liquid medium. Rooted shoots were successfully re-established in soil under controlled conditions.Abbreviations 2,4-D

Time-course of Nitrate Uptake and Nitrate Reductase Activity in Nitrogen-depleted Dwarf Bean 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The rate of nitrate uptake by N-depleted French dwarf bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Witte Krombek) increased steadily during the first 6 h after addition of NO3 -After this initial phase the rale remained constant for many hours. Detached root systems showed the same time-course of uptake as roots of intact plants. In vivo nitrate reductase activity (NRA) was assayed with or without exogenous NO3- in the incubation medium and the result ing activities were denoted potential and actual level, respectively. In roots the difference between actual and potential NRA disappeared within 15 min after addition of nitrate, and NRA increased for about 15 h. Both potential and actual NRA were initially very low. In leaves, however, potential NRA was initially very high and was not affected by ambient nitrate (0.1–5 mol m-3) for about 10 h. Actual and potential leaf NRA became equal after the same period of time. In the course of nitrate nutrition, the two nitrate reductase activities in leaves were differentially inhibited by cycloheximide (3.6 mmol m-3) and tungstate (1 mol m-3). We suggest that initial potential NRA reflects the activity of pre-existing enzyme, whereas actual NRA depends on enzyme assembly during NO3- supply. Apparent induction of nitrate uptake and most (85%) of the actual in vivo NRA occurred in the root system during the first 6 h of nitrate utilization by dwarf bean. 相似文献
