Modifications to the gaseous envelope by callus during culturein Petri dishes were shown to reduce growth and promote necrosisof several rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars. Incubatingcallusunder a continuous flow of gas mixtures of known compositionsuggested that the inhibition of growth was caused by the accumulationof ethylene, the depletion of oxygen and, to a lesser extent,the accumulation of carbon dioxide. In order to evaluate theimportance of ethylene accumulation aminoethoxyvinylglycine(AVG), 1-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylic acid (ACC and silvernitrate (AgNO3), were added to the nutrient medium and ethylenemeasurements performed during callus culture. Ethylene restrictedcallus growth particularly under high (35 °C) as comparedto moderate (25 °C) temperatures and under illuminated ascompared to darkened incubation. Under illuminated incubationat 25 °C AVG (5 mmol m3) and AgNO°(50 mmol m3)significantly improvedcallus growth (100 and 60% respectively)while ACC (200 mmol m3) significantly decreased growth(40%). AVG and AgNO3 were less effective under dark incubationat 25 °C where ethylene production was lower. Furthermore,callus growth was significantly better in large as comparedto small culture vessels since the ethylene concentration wasdiluted and more oxygen was available for respiration. Bettercontrol of ethylene and increased oxygen availability couldbe a way ofproducing healthy callus for the formation of embryogenictissues of otherwise recalcitrant cultivars of rice (e.g. IndicaIR42) and may be a way of improving manipulation of other cerealspecies.

Silver nitrate (AgNO3), an inhibitor of the physiological actionof ethylene, reduced cell growth, promoted ethylene production,increased the yield of protoplasts and reduced shoot regenerationfrom sugarcane heterogeneous cell suspension cultures. The increasein the rate of protoplast isolation from cultures treated withAgNO3 (0 to 59 µM) correlate with an increase in endogenousethylene production by the cells. The addition to the culturemedium of chemicals that either inhibited (aminoethoxyvinylglycine,AVG) or promoted (aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid, ACC)ethylene biosynthesis did not alter the number of protoplastsisolated from these cultures. However, protoplasts were isolatedwith AVG in combination with AgNO3 even though ethylene productionwas inhibited. These results suggested that AgNO3 may be havinganother more direct effect on protoplast release. One such sitemay be the cell wall or on cell metabolism conditioning cellsto release protoplasts after enzyme treatment.

Interrelationship between Abscisic Acid and Ethylene in the Control of Senescence Processes in Carnation Flowers 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The involvement of abscisic acid (ABA) in senescence of carnationflowers, in the presence of silver ions (which inhibit ethyleneaction), and aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) (an inhibitor ofethylene synthesis) was studied. ABA stimulated senescence asseen by advancement of ethylene surge, and time to the developmentof in-rolling of petal margins. ABA also increased the sensitivityof the flowers to ethylene. Silver ions did not affect the timeor extent of the ethylene surge, but prevented the appearanceof visual senescence symptoms, and lowered the sensitivity toethylene. AVG delayed the ethylene surge and lowered the maximumrate of ethylene production. Also, AVG delayed the developmentof visible senscence. In the presence of silver ions, ABA advanced the ethylene surgebut senescence symptoms did not develop. The effect of ABA onthe parameters measured was prevented by AVG. Thus it is suggestedthat ABA exerts its effect on senescence via ethylene. The possibleinvolvement of an ABA-ethylene sequence as a mediator of waterstress-promoted senescence is discussed. 相似文献

In this paper we compare the sensitivity of different squash genotypes to ethylene and brassinosteroids by studying the effects
of different ethylene and brassinosteroid treatments on the sexual expression and flower development of different C. pepo genotypes: Bolognese (Bog) and Vegetable Spaghetti (Veg), two contrasting lines for ethylene production and sensitivity, as well as Cora, a standard commercial hybrid. Results have demonstrated that ethylene has a much greater effect on sexual expression and
flower development in C. pepo than brassinosteroids. Ethephon increases the number of female flowers per plant and reduces the first male phase of development,
while treatments with the ethylene inhibitors AVG and STS reduce the number of female flowers per plant and expand the first
male phase of development. The differential response observed between genotypes appears to be related to ethylene production
and sensitivity. Bog, which produces more ethylene and is more sensitive to this hormone, responded much better to AVG and STS, reducing the number
of female flowers per plant, while Veg, which is characterised by lower production of and sensitivity to ethylene, responded better to ethephon by reducing the
first male phase of development and increasing the number of female flowers per plant. The differential abortion of female
and male flowers in ethephon, AVG and STS treatments, as well as the occurrence of bisexual flowers in the AVG and STS treated
plants of the more ethylene sensitive genotypes, demonstrate that ethylene is also involved in the development of female flowers.
Female flower buds require a minimal level of ethylene not only to complete their development and maturation without a premature
abortion, but also to arrest the development of stamens in the third whorl and to promote the appropriate growth of the carpels.
On the contrary, the role of brassinosteroids in the sexual expression of C. pepo was not so evident. The application of brassinazole, an inhibitor of brassinosteroid biosynthesis slightly changes the production
of ethylene in the three analysed genotypes, but those changes have little effect on their sexual phenotypes, and they do
not alter the development of the unisexual flowers. 相似文献

In addition to CO2, low concentrations, in decreasing orderof effectiveness, of Ag, Ni, Hg, Zn, Co, Pb, and Cu salts tendedto reduce soaking injury in bean seeds. Their effects did notappear to be due to ethylene antagonism. The CO2 effect wasnot related to it lowering the pH of the soaking solution. Soakinginjury was aggravated by L-a-(2-aminoethoxyvinyl) glycinehydrochloride(AVG) and 2,5-norbornadiene (NBD) and this effect was reversedby ethrel. Soaking in the presence of an ethylene absorbantHg(CIO4)2 increased injury. The beneficial effect of CO2 wasdiminished by NBD and this was reversed by ethrel. Ethrel andethylene tended to decrease soaking injury. Injurious treatmentsresulted in less ethylene release by soaked seeds than beneficialtreatments. It is concluded that ethylene does not cause soakinginjury but appears to be partially required for its prevention.

Ethylene production by flowers, petals and leaves of rose was correlated with severity of grey mould. However, when the host became completely macerated, ethylene production diminished. Ethylene production by Botrytis cinerea grown on autoclaved flowers which were supplemented with methionine was negligible. Methionine spray, incubation with ethylene, or precooling of flowers at 4°C increased disease incidence considerably. Ethylene also induced susceptibility of carnation flowers to attack by B. cinerea. On the other hand, sprays of silver thiosulphate (STS) aminooxyacetic acid (AOA) and aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) decreased disease severity in rose petals and leaves inoculated with mycelial plugs or conidia. Treatment of cut rose flowers with STS (by dipping) or AOA (by spraying) significantly decreased disease incidence during subsequent incubation at 20 and 10°C. This suggests a treatment for reducing grey mould damage in flowers transported overseas. 相似文献

Well before pollen tube penetration, ethylene has begun to disseminate from pollinated styles of Petunia hybrida flowers. Previous stigmatic application of aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) completely prevented this ethylene synthesis, indicating that the endogenous 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) in pollen is not readily converted on the stigma. Compared to other flower parts, the capacity of the ethylene forming enzyme was largest in the stigma. When applied to the stigma, ACC caused ethylene synthesis, but did not accelerate wilting, unless high concentrations (20 nanomols) were used. Upon pollination or stigma wounding, the early ethylene evolved exclusively from the gynoecium, much later followed by the synthesis of corolla ethylene. Employing wideneck Erlenmeyer flasks, the competitive inhibitor of ethylene action, norbornadiene, was applied to entire flowers in situ, with delaying effects on wound-induced wilting. In contrast, norbornadiene treatment of styles alone, using capillaries, could not postpone wilting. Pollination with foreign pollen species did not lead to accelerated corolla wilting, notwithstanding considerable synthesis of ethylene during the first 5 hours. In situ treatment of the stigma with AVG considerably delayed wound- and pollination-induced wilting. Removal of the entire AVG-treated style 6 hours after stigma wounding still allowed for the postponement of the accelerated wilting, even at very low concentrations of AVG. It is concluded that early stylar ethylene does not play a role in the acceleration of wilting but that, much later, corolla ethylene does, induced by a mobile wilting factor from the stigma, which is ACC. 相似文献

The rate of evolution of ethylene by tomato plants was rapidlyincreased by O3 fumigation. The time course of the increasein 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase activitywas the same as that in the rate of evolution of ethylene, suggestingthat ACC synthase activity might be a rate-limiting step inthe evolution of ethylene that is caused by O3 fumigation. Therate of the O3-induced evolution of ethylene was increased bythe application of ACC to tomato plants, suggesting the involvementof ACC oxidase in the O3-induced evolution of ethylene. Treatmentof plants with tiron inhibited the evolution of ethane, butnot of ethylene. These results indicated that evolution of ethylenein O3-treated tomato plants might result from enzymatic reactionscatalyzed by both ACC synthase and ACC oxidase, but not fromstimulation by O3 of the peroxidation of lipids mediated byfree radicals. Pretreatment of leaves with aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG), aninhibitor of ACC synthase, significantly inhibited the evolutionof ethylene that was induced by O3 and concomitantly reducedthe extent of O3-induced visible damage to leaves. Treatmentwith 2,5-norbonadiene, an inhibitor of the action of ethylene,strongly reduced the extent of visible damage caused by O3,even though it did not suppress the evloution of ethylene. Theseresults indicate that ethylene acts on certain metabolic processesto cause visible damage. (Received September 7, 1995; Accepted December 18, 1995) 相似文献

Brassinosteroid (BR) stimulation of auxin-induced ethylene production and the particular step at which BR acts to promote such synthesis were studied in mung bean ( Vigna radiata L. Rwilcz cv. Berken) hypocotyl segments. Increasing concentrations of methionine alone and in combination with 3 μ M BR and 10 μ M IAA had a minimal effect on ethylene production. With increasing concentrations of 1-aminocyclopro-pane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), however, ethylene production increased. BR or IAA further enhanced ethylene production with maximum rates occurring when these compounds were added together with ACC. The addition of 10 μ M CoCl2 in conjunction with BR and/or IAA resulted in 85–97% inhibition of ethylene production. When 20 μ M cycloheximide was used in conjunction with BR and/or IAA there was a complete inhibition of ethylene production. Total inhibition also resulted when 1.0 μ M aminoethoxy-vinylglycine (AVG) was used in combination with BR and/or IAA. AVG alone had no effect on ACC conversion to ethylene. 相似文献

Role of Ethylene in Senescence of Petals--Morphological and Taxonomical Relationships 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Petal senescence in mature flowers was studied in 93 speciesfrom 22 families. The initial symptom of senescence was eitherwilting or abscission, but in some species the time span betweenwilting and abscission was very short. There was no apparent relationship between corolla form (choripetalousor sympetalous), ovary position (inferior or superior with respectto the corolla) and type of senescence (initial wilting or initialabscission). In monocots no initial abscission was found, whilein dicots the difference between the wilting type and the abscissiontype was generally at the family level. With respect to petalsenescence, sensitivity to exogenous ethylene (C2H4) was alsorelated to the family level. Except for a few families (all tested Campanulaceae, Caryophyllaceaeand Malvaceae, and most Orchidaceae), most of the flowers investigatedthat showed initial wilting were not sensitive to exogenousethylene, e.g. all tested Compositae, Iridaceae, and Liliaceae.Most of the flowers showing initial abscission were sensitiveto exogenous ethylene (Geraniaceae, Labiatae, Ranunculaceae,Rosaceae, Scrophulariaceae). Experiments with silver thiosulphate (STS) confirmed the effectsof exogenous ethylene, both in flowers showing initial wiltingand in flowers showing initial abscission. The data indicate,therefore, that ethylene is involved in the natural senescenceof only a minority of the wilting type of flowers and in a majority(if not all) of the abscising type of flowers.

Three compounds known to inhibit ethylene synthesis and/or action were compared for their ability to delay senescence and abscission of bean explants (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv Contender). Aminoethoxyvinyl-glycine (AVG), AgNO3, and sodium benzoate were infiltrated into the petiole explants. Their effect on abscission was monitored by measuring the force required to break the abscission zone, and their effect on senescence was followed by measuring chlorophyll and soluble protein in the distal (pulvinus) sections. AVG at concentrations between 1 and 100 micromolar inhibited ethylene synthesis by about 80 to 90% compared to the control during sampling periods of 24 and 48 hours after treatment. This compound also delayed the development of abscission and senescence. Treatment with AgNO3 at concentrations between 1 and 100 micromolar progressively reduced ethylene production, but to a lesser extent than AVG. The effects of AgNO3 on senescence and abscission were quite similar to those of AVG. Sodium benzoate at 50 micromolar to 5 millimolar did not inhibit ethylene synthesis during the first 24 hours, but appreciably inhibited ethylene synthesis 48 hours after treatment. It also delayed the development of abscission and senescence. The effects of AVG, Ag+, and sodium benzoate suggest that ethylene could play a major role in both the senescence induction phase and the separation phase in bean explants. 相似文献

The role of ethylene during in vitro maturation of Nicotianatabacum pollen from the mld-binucleate (MB) stage was analysedby the addition of aminooxyacetic acid (AOA), aminoethoxyvinylglycine(AVG), CoCl2 and AgNO3 to the maturation medium (AMGLu). Anincrease in ethylene production was obtained in both isolatedpollen and pollen surrounded by sporophytic tissue during insitu maturation. in vitro maturation of pollen was inhibitedby AOA and AVG; ACC and ethrel were able to overcome this inhibitoryeffect. Cyclohexylamine (CHA) reverted the inhibition provokedby both Ag+ and Co2+ The results reported in this paper indicatethat ethylene is one of the factors implicated in in vitro maturationof MB pollen of Nicotiana tabacum.

De novo shoot morphogenesis and plant growth of mustard (Brassica juncea) in vitro in relation to ethylene 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Role of ethylene in de novo shoot morphogenesis from explants and plant growth of mustard ( Brassica juncea cv. India Mustard) in vitro was investigated, by culturing explants or plants in the presence of the ethylene inhibitors aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) and AgNO3 . The presence of 20 μ M AgNO3 or 5 μ M AVG in culture medium containing 5 μ M naphthaleneacetic acid and 10 μ M benzyladenine were equally effective in promoting shoot regeneration from leaf disc and petiole explants. However, AgNO3 greatly enhanced ethylene production which reached a maximum after 14 days, whereas ethylene levels in the presence of AVG remained low during 3 weeks of culture. The promotive effect of AVG on shoot regeneration was overcome by exogenous application of 25 μ M 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (CEPA), but AgNO3- induced regeneration was less affected by CEPA. For whole plant culture, AVG did not affect plant growth, although it decreased ethylene production by 80% and both endogenous levels of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase and ACC by 70–80%. In contrast, AgNO3 stimulated all 3 parameters of ethylene synthesis. Both AgNO3 and CEPA were inhibitory to plant growth, with more severe inhibition occuring in AgNO3 . Leaf discs derived from plants grown with AVG or AgNO3 were highly regenerative on shoot regeneration medium without ethylene inhibitor, but the presence of AgNO3 in the medium was inhibitory to regeneration of those derived from plants grown with AgNO3 . 相似文献

Imbibition of seeds of oil seed rape (Brassica napus cv Jetneuf)in 103 M aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) or 102silver thiosulphate (Ag+) had no effect on germination nor onthe emergence of seedlings from uncompacted or lightly compressedsoil, but significantly reduced emergence from moderately compressedsoil of 68.4 or 143.3 N cm2 impedance. Exertion of force by emerging control seedlings against a staticcantilever bar fitted with strain gauges reached a maximum (Fmax)of 6 g over 10 h. Higher axial forces were achieved when theseedlings were emerging from compressed soil, without any changein the time required to reach Fmax, so that the build-up offorce was considerably (1.8 fold) faster than in uncompressedsoil. This adaptive response to soil impedance was modified by theseed pretreatments employed. Seedlings from AVG or Ag+pretreatedseeds produced lower axial forces than controls, and neitherFmax nor the rate at which force developed showed any responseto soil compression. After pretreatment in 103 ethephon or 104 naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) the seedlings achieved similar Fmax to controlseedlings, but responded more rapidly to soil compression sothat the rate of build up of emergence force was 2.3 fold (NAA)or 2.8 fold (ethephon) faster in compressed than in uncompressedsoil. The results suggest that the exertion of force by a seedlingagainst a barrier involves a dynamic response to impedance onthe part of the seedling. This response can be either enhancedor suppressed by substances which affect ethylene productionor ethylene action. Such compounds may have promise for modifyingseedling emergence from impeding soils.

Effects of ethylene biosynthesis in carrot root slices on 6-methoxymellein accumulation and resistance to Botrytis cinerea 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The role of ethylene biosynthesis in the resistance response of carrot ( Daucus carota L., cv. Chantenay red-cored) slices to infection by Botrytis cinerea Pers. ex Pers. was investigated using aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) and inhibitor of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase (EC 4.4.1.-), and norbornadiene, an inhibitor of ethylene binding. Carrot slices became susceptible to a normally non-invasive level (105 ml-1 ) of spores of B. cinerea after treatment with AVG. ACC partially reversed the susceptibility induced by AVG. The ability of a crude pectic enzyme preparation from B. cinerea to induce resistance to a normally invasive level of B. cinerea spores (106 ml-1 ) was prevented by AVG. Accumulation of the carrot phyto-alexin 6-methoxymellein (6-MM) was prevented by norbornadiene, but it had no effect on the resistance response. An event associated with ethylene biosynthesis other than 6-MM accumulation appears to be responsible for the resistance of carrot slices to infection by B. cinerea. 相似文献

Cucurbita pepo L. cv. Trailing Marrow is monoecious, bearing separate male and female flowers and the first functional flowers are usually male. Treatment with 300 ppm ethephon delayed and greatly reduced male flower production and also increased female flower numbers. When plants were sprayed with aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) no female flowers were produced but male flower production was unaffected. Even when ethephon was applied to AVG-treated plants there was still complete inhibition of female flower production. Similarly, AVG-treated plants subsequently exposed to 4000 ppm ethylene for two days never produced female flowers. AVG inhibits the penultimate stage in ethylene biosynthesis i.e. immediately before 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC). Although spraying AVG-treated plants with ACC did not reverse the inhibition, application of ACC via a cut petiole for a 72 h period following AVG application did cause female flowers to form. The evidence indicates that ACC and not ethylene is the factor controlling female flower production in C. pepo . 相似文献

A protocol is presented for direct adventitous shoot organogenesis and complete plant regeneration from seedling-derived explants of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.), a tropical fruit tree. Murashige and Skoog (1962) (MS) medium enriched with 8.9 mumol/L benzyladenine (BA), 5.4 mumol/L naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 10% coconut water (CW) induced adventitious shoot bud differentiation in axenic seedling-derived cotyledons as well as hypocotyl segments. The cotyledons were more responsive than the hypocotyls. Addition of ethylene inhibitors such as AgNO3 (10-40 mumol/L) and aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) (5-15 mumol/L) to the medium markedly enhanced regeneration frequency as well as number of shoots obtained per explant. The promotive effect of AVG and AgNO3 on shoot organogenesis was observed only in cotyledon explants. The regeneration medium containing AgNO3 (20 mumol/L) or AVG (10 mumol/L) induced adventitious shoot buds from 57% or 53% of the cotyledon explants respectively. These shoot buds developed into shoots upon transfer to a regeneration medium without AgNO3 and AVG. The promotive effect of AVG on shoot regeneration was reversed by exogenous application of 20 mumol/L 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (CEPA), an ethylene releasing compound. On the other hand, shoot regeneration stimulated by AgNO3 was relatively less affected by CEPA. Regenerated shoots were rooted in half-strength MS medium (1/2 MS) containing 0.54 mumol/L NAA. The well rooted plantlets were acclimatized and eventually established in soil. 相似文献

In Petunia hybrida flowers, both pollination and stigma woundinginduced a transient Increase in ethylene production and hastenedcorolla senescence. Ethylene production by different flowerparts was measured in situ using laser photoacoustic (LPA) spectroscopy.In pollinated flowers, ethylene was exclusively produced bythe stigma/style region whereas wounding of the stigma Inducedethylene production both by the stigma/style region and by theremaining flower parts. In aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG)-treatedflowers, subsequent treatment of the unwounded stigma with 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylicacid (ACC) induced ethylene production exclusively by the stigma/styleregion whereas treatment of a previously wounded stigma withACC induced a simultaneous increase in ethylene production bythe stigma/style region and the remaining flower parts. Theseresults suggest that following stigma wounding, either ACC orethylene is involved in inter-organ communication. Followingpollination, the signal is apparently not directly related toethylene. In vivo ACC oxidase activity of most flower parts, includingthe gynoecium, was higher in light than in dark. Light or darkdid not influence the relative contributions of stigma/styleand remaining flower parts to the total pollination, woundingor ACC-induced ethylene production, indicating that ACC is nottranslocated. Both in excised styles and intact flowers, radiolabelledACC and its analogue -aminoisobutyric acid (AIB), applied eitherto an intact or wounded stigma, were largely immobile confirmingthat ACC is not likely to play a role in inter-organ signalling. The results collectively suggest that following stigma wounding,translocation of ethylene may be the signal responsible forinitiation of corolla senescence; following pollination thesignal is not directly related to ethylene.

Biosynthesis of stress ethylene in soybean seedlings: Similarities to endogenous ethylene biosynthesis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The similarity of stress ethylene biosynthesis in whole plants to endogenous ethylene biosynthesis was investigated using two inhibitors of ethylene biosynthesis, aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) and cobalt chloride (Co2+ ); and the intermediates, methionine, S -adenosylmethionine (SAM), and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), of basal ethylene biosynthesis. Stress ethylene production induced by ozone, cadmium, or 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was inhibited in hydroponically-grown soybean seedlings in a concentration-dependent manner by both AVG and CO2+ . The ethylene intermediates evoked responses in intact seedlings similar to that described for endogenous ethylene production in isolated vegetative tissue. The addition of SAM to the hydroponic system relieved AVG inhibition of stress ethylene production. Feeding ACC to the seedlings resulted in increased ethylene production independent of stress application or prior AVG inhibition. Cobalt inhibition of stress ethylene production was relieved by increasing concentrations of ACC. A short lag period of 12–18 min was observed in stress ethylene production following a 30-min ozone exposure. Addition of cycloheximide partially inhibited ozone-induced ethylene production.
