Brassica oleracea L. is highly polymorphic and includes varieties which exhibit a headed phenotype (a large preinflorescence): the curd of
cauliflower and `romanesco' (var. botrytis), and the spear of broccoli (var. italica). This headed phenotype results from highly iterative patterns of activity at the primary meristems. Differences in the morphology
of curds and spears are accounted for by three quantitative variables: the rate of production of branch primordia on the flanks
of the apical meristems (RPP); the number of branch primordia produced before the first formed begin producing their own branch
primordia (the iteration interval, ITI); and the duration of the preinflorescence stage (before production of flower primordia).
Relatively stable iteration parameters (RPP and ITI) during curd development lead to the production of semi-spherical curds
with a smooth surface in cauliflower and broccoli, whereas in `romanesco' RPP and ITI increase throughout curd development,
inducing a pyramidal curd with an angular surface. A relatively long preinflorescence stage in cauliflower and `romanesco'
results in the curd surface being composed largely of branch primordia, whereas in broccoli this stage is short and the spear
surface is made up of flower buds. Simplified growth models for these three headed types are presented. The implications for
the genetic control of the B. oleracea L. headed phenotype and the relationships between shoot apical meristem size, phyllotaxis and curd/spear morphology are discussed.

The spacing of lateral root primordia in the primary root of Pisum sativum (cv. Alaska) seedlings is influenced by both predetermined lateral root initiation sites in the embryonic radicle and by factors present during seedling growth. When pea seeds were germinated in the presence of the mitotic inhibitor, colchicine, the triarch radicle produced three ranks of primordiomorphs indicating sites of embryonic lateral root primordia. The number of primordiomorphs was not the same along the three xylem strands in the radicle. Normally germinated seedling roots (5 days old) also showed a different number of lateral root primordia associated with the three strands. In both cases, the strand with the greatest number of primordia (or primordiomorphs) was associated with a cotyledonary trace. This indicated a possible role for the cotyledons in setting the pattern of lateral root distribution during radicle development. The spacing of lateral root primordia could be altered by the application of growth regulators. Seedling root tips (2 mm) were removed (? rt) and replaced with indoleacetic acid (+IAA), and in some instances seedlings were also treated with the auxin transport inhibitor, 3,3a-dihydro-2-(p-methoxyphenyl)-8H-pyrazolo[5, 1-α]isoindol-8-one (+DPX). In the growth regulator treatments, primary root elongation was inhibited, a greater number of lateral root primordia were initiated compared to controls, and the spacing intervals between primordia were greatly reduced. The — rt, +IAA, +DPX-treatment resulted in the closest possible spacing intervals (av. 0.4 ? 0.6 mm), but resulted in fused or fasciated laterals. The — rt, + IAA-treatment produced the shortest spacing intervals which resulted in “normal” lateral roots (0.8 ? 1.1 mm). 相似文献

Quantitative analyses of indol-3yl-acetic acid (I aa ) in Zea mays L. (cv. LG 11) root segments cultured in vitro were performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with selected ion monitoring. The root extracts were first purified by highperformance liquid chromatography. Root primordia initiation in intact and decapitated roots showed different patterns: decapitation strongly enhanced primordia initiation in their first 10 mm. During the culture (5 days), I aa content decreased in both intact and decapitated roots. No correlation was found between the level of endogenous auxin and the numher of root primordia initiated from either intact or decapitated maize root segments. 相似文献

The timing of root production is one of the parameters required for modelling the root system architecture. The objectives of this study are (1) to describe the rate of appearance of adventitious root primordia of maize and their rate of emergence out of the stem; (2) to test equations for the prediction of the rank of the phytomer on which root emergence occurs, in a wide range of field situations.Maize, cultivar Dea, was grown in controlled conditions and in the field in 1987, 1988, 1989 and 1991. Plants were regularly sampled and the following data were recorded: foliar stage, number of root primordia and number of emerged roots per phytomer. Root primordia were counted in transverse thin sections in the stem.At a single plant level, root primordia differentiation occurred sequentially on the successive phytomers, with no overlapping between two phytomers. The same was true for root emergence. Roots belonging to the same phytomer emerged at approximately the same time.At a plant population level, there was a linear relationship between the rank of the phytomer on which root primordia were differentiated and cumulated degree-days after sowing. A linear relationship was also observed between the rank of the phytomer on which roots were emerging and cumulated degree-days or foliar stage. In the range of field situations tested (several years, sowing dates and planting densities), both equations gave an accurate prediction of the timing of root emergence during the plant cycle. 相似文献

We describe a gene that is expressed in lateral and adventitious root primordia of Arabidopsis. The gene was identified by expression of a transposon-borne promoterless beta-glucuronidase gene in lateral root primordia. The gene, designated LRP1 for lateral root primordium 1, and its corresponding cDNA were cloned and sequenced. The expression pattern of the gene in lateral root primordia was confirmed by in situ hybridization with LRP1 cDNA probes. The LRP1 gene encodes a novel protein. LRP1 expression is activated during the early stages of root primordium development and is turned off prior to the emergence of lateral roots from the parent root. Insertion of the transposon in the LRP1 gene disrupted its expression. To evaluate the homozygous insertion line for a mutant phenotype, several aspects of wild-type lateral root development were analyzed. A mutant phenotype has not yet been identified in the insertion line; however, there is evidence that the gene belongs to a small gene family. LRP1 provides a molecular marker to study the early stages of lateral and adventitious root primordium development. 相似文献

Cotyledons of Sinapis alba cultured in the light on filter-papermoistened with water initiated root primordia within 2 daysafter detachment. These increased in size and penetrated thebase of the petiole after a further 3 days. Culture in sucrosesolution in the light inhibited root formation mainly by affectingthe extension phase when many primordia regressed resultingin a decline in the numbers of primordia per petiole. When cotyledonswere cultured in the dark no primordia were initiated in water,but sucrose promoted root formation. Levels of RNA rose to a peak value in the terminal petiole segmentat a time when primordia were being initiated in this region,protein reached a peak 2 days later. This pattern was much lessevident in the subterminal segments. It did not occur at allin cotyledons cultured in sucrose in the light where a smallinitial increase in RNA and protein was followed by a rapiddecline. The level of RNA and protein in the terminal segmentin light-cultured cotyledons in water was related to the numberof light periods given following detachment as was the percentageof cotyledons which formed roots. The effect of sucrose on RNAand protein content was less marked when cotyledons were transferredfrom sucrose to water instead of being maintained in sucrosethroughout. Sucrose clearly modifies the biochemical and structural changestaking place at the petiole base having particularly inhibitoryeffects on the extension phase of the primordia. The evidenceindicates that sucrose could be causing premature ageing ofcells forming the primordia. 相似文献

The effects of root decapitation on lateral root formation and cytokinin production in Pisum sativum
Decapitation of the primary roots of Pisum sativum L. resulted in a significant increase in the initiation of lateral root primordia within 12 h of the surgical treatment. Although this increase occurred both in the light and in the dark, lateral root initiation and development was much more rapid in the dark. The formation of lateral root primordia was accompanied by increased levels of endogenous cytokinins suggesting that newly formed root primordia start producing cytokinins very soon after being initiated. The significance of the present results in terms of possible sites of synthesis in vegetative tissue is discussed. 相似文献

Adventitious root development in lamina and midrib-petiole junction expiants of sugar beet cv. Primo was investigated using scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy. Primordia developed close to the vascular strands and areas of newly dividing cells (meristematic centres) were seen adjacent to the intrafascicular cambium after 2 d incubation on medium containing 30 mg 1(-1)1-naphthalene acetic acid. Clearly defined primordia were visible at 4 d and the first roots had emerged by 6 d. A minimum of 24 h exposure to NAA was necessary for root induction. Four days on NAA caused twice as many roots to be initiated but more prolonged exposure (5 and 10 d) inhibited root development. Root initiation continued after transfer to medium containing no plant growth regulators, new primordia appearing as the older ones extended as roots. Attempts were made to modify the development of primordia by sequential culture on cytokinin after induction by auxin. Incubation on N6-benzylaminopurine within 48 h of exposure to NAA disrupted the development of primordia and roots but did not induce shoot formation. 相似文献

Root primordia initiate in poplar stems in the secondary growing parts, that is in the parts where the elongation growth is
terminated and the leaves are mature. Their initiation is connected with the occurrence of unusual biseriate, rarely multiseriate
rays. A small cell group in the secondary phloem is initiated by cell division of the ray. It gradually enlarges by continuing
cell division, by the addition of cells adjacent to the cell group and by cambial activity. Thus, a hemispherical root primordium
is formed, for which a permanent occurrence of reserve lipids is characteristic. In stems several years old the intraprimordial
mitotic activity is rhythmically renewed together with the cambium function renewal. Latent root primordia slightly enlarge
with the passing years, whereas mainly the cells localized in their centre divide. Further organization and root histogenesis
was not observed either in older root primordia. Adjacent to root primordia, cambial initials produce the secondary xylem
elements increasingly. Xylem protuberances are thus formed under root primordia. Primordia initiation is most frequent within
the first year of stem development, though they can also initiate in later years. 相似文献

Adventitious root formation (ARF) was studied in woody leaf bud cuttings of Ficus pumila L., creeping fig. Juvenile cuttings rooted easily, whereas only mature cuttings treated with indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) attained any rooting success. In the rooting process, both juvenile and mature material exhibited dedifferentiation of phloem ray parenchyma, root initial formation, primordia differentiation, and root elongation. The early stages of adventitious rooting were most critical since few primordia were observed in mature controls. The stages leading up to root primordia differentiation and elongation occurred more rapidly in IBA-treated juvenile vs. mature cuttings; however, time differences in both types between first observable roots and maximum rooting were comparable. Root primordia differentiated from basal callus of some cuttings, but neither these nor the few primordia in mature controls elongated into well-developed roots. Anatomical differences between the juvenile and mature material did not account for rooting disparity, nor did presence of perivascular fibers, sclereids, and laticifers retard rooting. 相似文献

The perennial grasses (Aristida spp.) are invaders of the Mitchell (Astrebla spp.) grasslands of semiarid Queensland. The possible role of a number of physiological factors influencing the establishment and maintenance of Aristida leptopoda (white spear grass) and Astrebla lappacea (curly Mitchell grass) populations were examined in a series of experiments. Under controlled conditions, both seedling growth and root extension rates of curly Mitchell grass were far superior to white spear grass at a temperature of 30°C. However, at temperatures of 25°C and less, little species differences in these rates occurred White spear required a lower soil phosphorus concentration for optimum growth compared with curly Mitchell grass, but its yield response to increasing phosphorus concentration was much smaller than this species. Results of other studies suggested that relative drought endurance of established plants of these species to be related more to the amount and vertical distribution of the root system rather than to differences in stomatal control. 相似文献

The effect of the formation of a cavity in the cortex of theprimary root of Vicia faba adjacent to lateral root primordiaon root development has been investigated. Premature exposureof such primordia to the external medium by removing the overlyingtissues of the primary root has no effect on primordium developmentif that primordium was within 48 h of emerging as a lateralroot. Similar exposure of primordia which were at an earlierstage of development and consisted of between 3400 and 7000cells resulted in the generation of a stationary phase, withmost of the nuclei arrested in G1 (presynthetic interphase),4872 h after exposure began, followed by nuclear degenerationby 96 h. Since no mature vascular tissue was found in theseprimordia until after they emerged as secondary roots, all ofthe nutrients necessary for the maintenance of cell proliferationin these meristems must reach them by simple diffusion fromthe surrounding medium. A preliminary analysis of the liquidcontents of the cavity next to developing primordia demonstratesit to be rich in carbohydrates and it is clear, from the resultsreported in this paper, that cell proliferation in primordia,consisting of a mean number of 5400 cells, is largely dependenton the substances present in the cavity fluid, although somematerials reach the primordium by diffusion from the cells ofthe primary root to which the primordium remains attached. 相似文献

Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae -secreted Nod factors are able to induce root hair deformation, the formation of nodule primordia and the expression of early nodulin genes in Vicia sativa (vetch). To obtain more insight into the mode of action of Nod factors the expression of early nodulin genes was followed during Nod factor-induced root hair deformation and nodule primordium formation. The results of these studies suggested that the expression of VsENOD5 and VsENOD12 is not required for root hair deformation. In the Nod factor-induced primordia both VsENOD12 and VsENOD40 are expressed in a spatially controlled manner similar to that found in Rhizobium -induced nodule primordia. In contrast, VsENOD5 expression has never been observed in Nod factor-induced primordia, showing that the induction of VsENOD5 and VsENOD12 expression are not coupled. VsENOD5 expression is induced in the root epidermis by Nod factors and in Rhizobium -induced nodule primordia only in cells infected by the bacteria, suggesting that the Nod factor does not reach the inner cortical cells. 相似文献

We have studied the role of endogenous auxin on adventitious rooting in hypocotyls of derooted sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. var. Dahlgren 131) seedlings. Endogenous free and conjugated indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) were measured in three segments of hypocotyls of equal length (apical, middle, basal) by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with [13C6]-IAA as an internal standard. At the time original roots were excised (0 h), the free IAA level in the hypocotyls showed an acropetally decreasing gradient, but conjugated IAA level increased acropetally; i.e. free to total IAA ratio was highest in the basal portion of hypocotyls. The basal portion is the region where most of root primordia were found. Some primordia were seen in this region within 24 h after the roots were excised. The quantity of free IAA in the middle portion of the hypocotyl increased up to 15 h after excision and then decreased. In this middle region there were fewer root primordia, and they could not be seen until 72 h. In the apical portion the amount of free IAA steadily increased and no root primordia were seen by 72 h. Surgical removal of various parts of the hypocotyl tissues caused adventitious root formation in the hypocotyl regions where basipetally transported IAA could accumulate. Reduction in the basipetal flow of auxin by N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid and 2,3,5-tri-iodobenzoic acid resulted in fewer adventitious roots. The fewest root primordia were seen if the major sources of endogenous auxin were removed by decapitation of the cotyledons and apical bud. Exogenous auxins promoted rooting and were able to completely overcome the inhibitory effect of 2,3,5-tri-iodobenzoic acid. Exogenous auxins were only partially able to overcome the inhibitory effect of decapitation. We conclude that in sunflower hypocotyls endogenously produced auxin is necessary for adventitious root formation. The higher concentrations of auxin in the basal portion may be partially responsible for that portion of the hypocotyl producing the greatest number of primordia. In addition to auxins, other factors such as wound ethylene and lowered cytokinin levels caused by excision of the original root system cuttings must also be important. 相似文献

The proximal-distal distribution of the lateral roots of five species was studied. A detailed investigation was carried out on two of the five species, Ceratopteris thalictroides and Cucurbita maxima. A definite pattern of lateral root arrangement, with a degree of variability related to the number of protoxylem poles, was found in all of the species studied. In the fern Ceratopteris, lateral root initiation was found to be related to the segmentation of the apical cell, which in turn determines the distribution of the laterals. In this species the lateral roots occur in a predictable sequence and they are grouped in pairs. In the angiosperms studied, the pattern of lateral root distribution seemed to depend primarily upon a rather strict longitudinal relationship between the lateral root primordia formed opposite any one protoxylem pole. In Cucurbita maxima, 93.7 ± 5.02% of the lateral root primordia observed were in a specific sequence. The laterals of this species are also arranged in groups. In the other plants studied, Arachis hypogaea, Victoria trickeri, and Eichhornia crassipes, the laterals were not as regularly arranged, but nevertheless they were found to be arranged in groups along the main root axis and not randomly dispersed. Factors controlling the spacing of lateral root primordia include their relationship with the developing vascular system, a direct effect of the parent root apex, and an effect of older lateral root primordia in the same sector of the root. 相似文献

Nodulation (root nodule formation) in legume roots is initiated by the induction of cell divisions and formation of root nodule primordia in the plant root cortex, usually in front of the protoxylem ridges of the central root cylinder. We isolated a factor from the central cylinder (stele) of pea roots which enhances hormone-induced cell proliferation in root cortex explants at positions similar to those of nodule primordia. The factor was identified as uridine. Uridine may act as a morphogen in plant roots at picomolar concentrations. 相似文献

Adventitious root initiation in hypocotyl and epicotyl cuttings of eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) seedlings 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The present paper reports results of experiments to develop a system for studying adventitious root initiation in cuttings derived from seedlings. Hypocotyl cuttings of 2-week-old eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.) seedlings were treated for 5 min with 0, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 or 600 mg l?1 (0, 0.54, 1.07, 1.61, 2.15, 2.69 or 3.22 mM) 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) to determine the effect on root initiation. The number of root primordia per cutting was correlated with NAA concentration and the square of NAA concentration. Thus, the number increased from less than one per cutting in the 0 NAA treatment to approximately 40 per cutting at 300 mg l-1 NAA, above which no substantial further increase was observed. The larger number of root primordia formed in response to increasing concentrations of NAA was due to the formation of primordia over a larger proportion of the hypocotyls. Histological analysis of the timing of root primordium formation in hypocotyl cuttings revealed three discernible stages. Progression through these stages was relatively synchronous among NAA-treated hypocotyl cuttings and within a given cutting, but variation was observed in the portion of different cuttings undergoing root formation. Control-treated hypocotyl cuttings formed root primordia at lower frequencies and more slowly than NAA-treated cuttings, with fewer primordia per cutting. Epicotyl cuttings from 11-week-old seedlings also formed adventitious roots, but more slowly than hypocotyl cuttings. NAA treatment of epicotyl cuttings caused more rapid root initiation and also affected the origin of adventitious roots in comparison with nontreated cuttings. NAA-treated epicotyl cuttings formed roots in a manner analogous to that of the hypocotyl cuttings, directly from preformed vascular tissue, while control-treated epicotyl cuttings first formed a wound or callus tissue and subsequently differentiated root primordia within that tissue. This system of inducing adventitious roots in pine stem cuttings lends itself to studying the molecular and biochemical steps that occur during root initiation and development. 相似文献
