The photosynthetic rate of a decaploid genotype (1-16-2) of tall fescue ( Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) is about twice that of a common hexaploid genotype (V6-802) (Plant Physiol. 72: 16–21, 1983). Translocation of photosynthate out of the leaves is a possible means of regulating carbon assimilation. To evaluate this possibility, we have examined a) translocation velocity, b) time course of translocation from leaves, c) photoassimilate partitioning pattern into whole plants in pulse and chase experiments, and d) interveinal distances between two ploidy genotypes. Most of the 14 C accumulated in sucrose, and the labelled carbon moved down the leaf blades at similar velocities (6 to 10 cm h−1 ) in both genotypes. Recent 14 C assimilate was rapidly translocated from the fed area of the leaf blade. For example, the decaploid and the common hexaploid had translocated 40 and 26% of the 14 C, respectively, at 6 h, and 79 and 49% of the 14 C, respectively, at 24 h. Partitioning of 14 C among plant organs was considerably different between the genotypes after a 24 h chase. For example, out of the total 14 C recovered from the whole plant, the decaploid had retained 40% in the labelled leaf with 10, 33 and 29% in other leaves, stem bases and roots, respectively; whereas the hexaploid had retained 91% in the labelled leaf with 4, 3 and 2% in other leaves, stem bases and roots, respectively. However, the higher rate of translocation was correlated with greater interveinal distances in the decaploid genotype. These results suggested that the higher translocation percentage in the decaploid than the hexaploid genotype was due to greater sink activity. 相似文献

CAM and carbon isotope composition: Origin of the constitutive carbon in young leaves of Bryophyllum daigremontianum Berger 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
Abstract. The export of assimilates from mature leaves towards the young leaves was investigated: 100% and 65% of constitutive matter of leaves of rank 0 (the youngest leaves at the top of the plant) and of rank 1, respectively, originated from other parts of the plant. Photosynthesis of a particular leaf covers the total carbon requirement of that leaf only when it reaches about two-thirds of its mature size. When pairs of mature leaves were excised, the young leaves increased their own autotrophic growth while the level of assimilates exported by the remaining leaves remained unchanged. The existence of permanent pools in the leaves that export the assimilates was demonstrated; about 50% of the carbon, both in the soluble and insoluble fractions of mature and senescent leaves (ranks 5 to 8 from the apex), was not renewed by turnover. It is shown that the 13 C-enrichment of the components of the starch-malate sequence in young leaves results, at least in part, from the incorporation of imported carbon chains. The significance of the δ13 C diagnosis in CAM determination is discussed in relation to the origin of the constitutive carbon of the leaves. 相似文献

The role of sink demand in carbon partitioning and photosynthetic reinvigoration following shoot decapitation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Photosynthesis, growth, and carbon partitioning of vigorous coppice shoots were compared with the slower growing intact shoots of Populus maximowiczii × nigra L. MN9 to determine the relationship between carbon partitioning and photosynthetic rate. Relative height growth rate of coppice shoots was 2.2 times that of intact shoots with net photosynthetic rate 1.9 times that of intact shoots. Coppice leaves exported a larger proportion of newly-fixed assimilate (11% compared with 6%) after a 4-h chase. The greater export from coppice leaves was correlated with a greater proportion of [14 C]-labelled photosynthate deposited as starch in stems 4 cm below the point of label application. Coppice leaf assimilate levels were reduced to 15% that of leaves on intact plants, but coppice leaves had twice the concentration of labelled sucrose. Carbohydrates constituted 55% of the water-soluble [14 C]-labelled photosynthate in leaves of coppice shoots compared with 40% in intact shoots. The results suggest that carbon allocation and partitioning in coppice shoots were altered towards production and export of new assimilate, and support the hypothesis that photosynthetic rate is responsive to sink demand for assimilates. 相似文献

Leaf δ13 C is an indicator of water-use efficiency and provides useful information on the carbon and water balance of plants over longer periods. Variation in leaf δ13 C between or within species is determined by plant physiological characteristics and environmental factors. We hypothesized that variation in leaf δ13 C values among dominant species reflected ecosystem patterns controlled by large-scale environmental gradients, and that within-species variation indicates plant adaptability to environmental conditions. To test these hypotheses, we collected leaves of dominant species from six ecosystems across a horizontal vegetation transect on the Tibetan Plateau, as well as leaves of Kobresia pygmaea (herbaceous) throughout its distribution and leaves of two coniferous tree species ( Picea crassifolia, Abies fabri ) along an elevation gradient throughout their distribution in the Qilian Mountains and Gongga Mountains, respectively. Leaf δ13 C of dominant species in the six ecosystems differed significantly, with values for evergreen coniferous13 C values of the dominant species and of K. pygmaea were negatively correlated with annual precipitation along a water gradient, but leaf δ13 C of A. fabri was not significantly correlated with precipitation in habitats without water-stress. This confirms that variation of δ13 C between or within species reflects plant responses to environmental conditions. Leaf δ13 C of the dominant species also reflected water patterns on the Tibetan Plateau, providing evidence that precipitation plays a primary role in controlling ecosystem changes from southeast to northwest on the Tibetan Plateau. 相似文献

1. Changes of δ13 C and its relation to leaf development, biochemical content and water stress were monitored over a 2 year period in two co-occurring Mediterranean oak species: the deciduous Quercus pubescens and the evergreen Quercus ilex .
2. The time course of leaf δ13 C showed different patterns in the two species. Young Q. pubescens leaves had a high δ13 C and a marked decrease occurred during leaf growth. In contrast, leaves at budburst and maturity did not differ significantly in the case of Q. ilex . We suggest that the difference between δ13 C of young leaves was linked to differential use of reserves of carbon compounds in the two species.
3. δ13 C values of mature leaves were negatively correlated with minimum seasonal values of predawn water potential, suggesting that a functional adjustment to water resources occurred.
4. There was a significant correlation between individual δ13 C values for two successive years. This interannual dependence showed that δ13 C rankings between trees were constant through time. 相似文献

Utilization of sucrose and mannitol, the major forms of translocatable assimilate in celery ( Apium graveolens L. cv. Giant Pascal), was investigated in intact plants, excised leaves and leaf discs by estimating the soluble carbohydrate pools, starch levels and oxidation of [14 C]-sucrose or mannitol in the light and after extended dark treatments. In detached mature fully-expanded leaves, mannitol pools remained constant, while sucrose decreased during a 48 h dark treatment. In attached leaves on plants trimmed to a single compound leaf, however, mannitol levels decreased after a dark treatment. In leaf discs floated on bathing solutions containing [14 C]-sucrose or [14 C]-mannitol, oxidation of mannitol was restricted to young leaf tissues, whereas sucrose was metabolized to CO2 regardless of leaf age. Uptake of labelled mannitol, however, was greater than that of sucrose in the light in leaves of every age. Although both mannitol and sucrose are translocated out of leaf tissues, leaf age differences indicate that, unlike sucrose, mannitol utilization is restricted to active sink tissues. The results suggest different roles for mannitol and sucrose with mannitol representing a more rigorously sequestered transport carbohydrate. 相似文献

Effects of water stress and nocturnal temperature on carbon allocation in the perennial grass, Leymus chinensis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Water deficit and high temperature often occur simultaneously, but their effects on plants are usually investigated separately. The aim of this study was to test how interactions between water stress and nocturnal warming affect carbon allocation in the perennial grass, Leymus chinensis . Plant biomass, dry mass allocation, 14 C partitioning and carbon isotope composition (δ13 C) were measured. Severe and extreme water stress during nocturnal warming decreased the allocation of dry mass and 14 C partitioning below ground to the roots, but moderate water stress significantly increased the below-ground allocation of dry mass and 14 C, especially at the lower night temperature. The δ13 C values were more positive at day/night temperatures of 30/20°C than at 30/25°C, and greater in the roots than in the leaves. By plotting the δ13 C values of the leaves against the δ13 C values of the roots, the slopes of regressions were steeper at low than at high night temperature, also indicating that nocturnal warming reduces carbon allocation below ground to the roots. The results suggest that nocturnal warming may weaken acclimation during water stress in this species by regulating carbon allocation between source and sink organs. 相似文献

Seasonal patterns of [14 C]-labeled photosynthate distribution within two intensively cultured Populus clones with contrasting phenology ( P. tristis × P. balsamifera cv. 'Tristis no. 1'; P. × euramericana cv. Eugenei) were investigated during the establishment year. During active shoot elongation upper mature leaves exported 14 C acropetally to the expanding leaves and elongating internodes, and basipetally to the stem. Little 14 C was exported to lower mature leaves or lateral branches. At budset the 14 C export pattern shifted dramatically in the basipetal direction, i.e., to the lower stem, hardwood cutting, and roots. The timing of budset was the primary factor determining the differences between the clones, except that in all cases Tristis exported more 14 C to the roots than Eugenei. After budset lower mature leaves had a similar export pattern to upper leaves, but the quantity of 14 C exported to the roots was slightly higher. The results confirm the importance of autumn foliage for root growth in poplar. Clonal differences in seasonal patterns of photosynthate distribution offer potential for the poplar breeder seeking to match a clone's growth pattern with the specific growing season of the site. 相似文献

Abstract. Changes in crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) in the leaves of Bryophyllum daigremontianum were studied comparatively under closely controlled (phytotron) and semi-natural (greenhouse) conditions utilizing measurements of natural carbon isotope composition (δ13 C) of the total leaf matter. Abrupt transfer of plants from long days to short days resulted in an overall increase of CAM in mature leaves (no. 3 from the apex and older) and thus in a higher CAM level for the whole plant. Study during the course of a year in semi-natural conditions showed that a progressive increase in length of day and day night temperature differences (February ← June) activated CAM but only a passage to short days (June ← October) produced the maximum CAM. Under the experimental conditions employed, the maximum shift from the C3 -type to the C4 -type of metabolism was observed in plants subjected to semi-natural progressive variations in the environment, i.e. the δ13 C values indicated that for plants in the greenhouse the total carbon flow entering the cells was mediated by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity. 相似文献

It is known that shoot application of jasmonic acid (JA) leads to an increased carbon export from leaves to stem and roots, and that root treatment with JA inhibits root growth. Using the radioisotope 11 C, we measured JA effects on carbon partitioning in sterile, split-root, barley plants. JA applied to one root half reduced carbon partitioning to the JA-treated tissue within minutes, whereas the untreated side showed a corresponding – but slower – increase. This response was not observed when instead of applying JA, the sink strength of one root half was reduced by cooling it: there was no enhanced partitioning to the untreated roots. The slower response in the JA-untreated roots, and the difference between the effect of JA and temperature, suggest that root JA treatment caused transduction of a signal from the treated roots to the shoot, leading to an increase in carbon allocation from the leaves to the untreated root tissue, as was indeed observed 10 min after the shoot application of JA. This supports the hypothesis that the response of some plant species to both leaf and root herbivores may be the diversion of resources to safer locations. 相似文献

The distribution pattern of 14 C-sucrose from 14 C-sucrose applied to vegetative okra plants and leaves 1–9 on separate plants during the green pod development stage were investigated in relation to duration and leaf position. Results indicated bi-directional transport of assimilates to both apical and basal portions of the stem. Within 48 h 14 C moved to all plant parts; stem and leaves appeared to be strong sinks. In plants fed at the vegetative stage, 48 h after feeding, 66% of the fed activity was exported from the fed leaf. At the pod development stage, about 35% of the activity exported from the fed leaf was present in green pods and 65% in vegetative parts. In plants where leaf 1–9 was fed, irrespective of the position of the fed leaf, the subtending fruit was the strongest sink among the reproductive parts. Leaves and stems were the principal sinks. 相似文献

We evaluated diurnal and seasonal patterns of carbon isotope composition of leaf dark-respired CO2 ( δ 13 Cl ) in the C3 perennial shrub velvet mesquite ( Prosopis velutina ) across flood plain and upland savanna ecosystems in the south-western USA. δ 13 Cl of darkened leaves increased to maximum values late during daytime periods and declined gradually over night-time periods to minimum values at pre-dawn. The magnitude of the diurnal shift in δ 13 Cl was strongly influenced by seasonal and habitat-related differences in soil water availability and leaf surface vapour pressure deficit. δ 13 Cl and the cumulative flux-weighted δ 13 C value of photosynthates were positively correlated, suggesting that progressive 13 C enrichment of the CO2 evolved by darkened leaves during the daytime mainly resulted from short-term changes in photosynthetic 13 C discrimination and associated shifts in the δ 13 C signature of primary respiratory substrates. The 13 C enrichment of dark-respired CO2 relative to photosynthates across habitats and seasons was 4 to 6‰ at the end of the daytime period (1800 h), but progressively declined to 0‰ by pre-dawn (0300 h). The origin of night-time and daytime variations in δ 13 Cl is discussed in terms of the carbon source(s) feeding respiration and the drought-induced changes in carbon metabolism. 相似文献

To assess the physiological aspects underpinning cultivar difference in asparagus ( Asparagus officinalis L.) yield, diel carbon exchange, carbon partitioning and export and sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) activity were examined in mature cladophyll tissue of two asparagus cultivars (ASP-69 and ASP-03) under field conditions. Both cultivars exhibited similar diel patterns in carbon exchange rate (CER) and carbohydrate partitioning. Rates of carbon export estimated from CER and dry mass changes were the highest at midday and coincided with maximum assimilation rate. Carbon export accounted for about 74% of carbon fixation during the photoperiod. No diel fluctuations were observed in SPS activity in either cultivar. A positive correlation between day CER and carbon export rate (r2 = 0.87) was found and this relationship did not differ between the two cultivars studied. The greater carbon export rate measured in the high-yielding cultivar (ASP-69) was associated with significantly higher CER in comparison to the low-yielding cultivar (ASP-03). However, a correlation between sucrose concentration and carbon export rate did not exist. Biochemical evidence indicated that the greater CER in ASP-69 was associated with a significantly greater SPS activity ( P 0.05). Phloem 14 C exudate analysis revealed that 14 C flux out of cladophyll tissue in ASP-69 was significantly greater than in ASP-03. These results indicate a feed-forward effect of rate of photosynthesis on assimilate export in the two cultivars studied. 相似文献

Here, we tested whether rapid changes in carbohydrate transport and partitioning to storage organs would be induced by jasmonic acid (JA), a plant-produced signal of herbivore attack known to induce resistance. Carbon-11, introduced as (11)CO(2), was used to track real-time carbohydrate transport and partitioning nondestructively in Populus species before and 12 h after application of JA to a single leaf. Jasmonic acid resulted in more rapid [(11)C]-photosynthate export from both local and systemic leaves, as well as greater partitioning of [(11)C]-photosynthate to the stem and roots. In Populus tremuloides, following JA treatment, leaf starch decreased, but there was no change in photosynthetic rates or leaf soluble sugar concentration, indicating that recent photosynthate was diverted from starch accumulation in the leaf to other plant organs. Increasing the supply of photosynthate to roots and stems may shield resources from folivorous predators, and may also facilitate both storage and nutrient uptake, and ultimately lead to greater tolerance, either by enhancing regrowth capacity or by replacing nutrients consumed by herbivores. 相似文献

The carbon allocation to current-year shoots of the deciduous Vaccinium uliginosum L. and the evergreen V. vitis-idaea L. was studied in a field experiment using 14 C. During the first week after labelling, 0–50% and 30–80% of the initially assimilated 14 C was lost in V. vitis-idaea and V. uliginosum respectively. Later on, the losses were smaller. After leaf fall in V. uliginosum , 30, 10 and 8% of the initially assimilated 14 C was recovered in the abscised leaves, in plants labelled 1 July, 1 August and 1 September, respectively. The amounts found in the old V. vitis-idaea leaves the year after labelling were 33, 20 and 10%. Only traces of past-year assimilates were found in the current-year V. vitis-idaea leaves, while it was estimated that the V. uliginosum leaves contained 10–15% of the past-year label. It is concluded that V. vitis-idaea is mainly dependent on early summer assimilates - produced by leaves that have overwintered – for the current year shoot growth, while past-years' assimilates probably make an important contribution to the leaf expansion in V. uliginosum. When fruits occurred, a large fraction of the 14 C assimilates was allocated to them. 相似文献

Photosynthetic assimilation of CO2 is a primary source of carbon in soil and root exudates and can influence the community dynamics of rhizosphere organisms. Thus, if carbon partitioning is affected in transgenic crops, rhizosphere microbial communities may also be affected. In this study, the temporal effects of gene transformation on carbon partitioning in rice and rhizosphere microbial communities were investigated under greenhouse conditions using the 13 C pulse-chase labeling method and phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis. The 13 C contents in leaves of transgenic (Bt) and nontransgenic (Ck) rice were significantly different at the seedling, booting and heading stages. There were no detectable differences in 13 C distribution in rice roots and rhizosphere microorganisms at any point during rice development. Although a significantly lower amount of Gram-positive bacterial PLFAs and a higher amount of Gram-negative bacterial PLFAs were observed in Bt rice rhizosphere as compared with Ck at all plant development stages, there were no significant differences in the amount of individual 13 C-PLFA between Bt and Ck rhizospheres at any growing stage. These findings indicate that the insertion of cry1Ab and marker genes into rice had no persistent or adverse effect on the photosynthate distribution in rice or the microbial community composition in its rhizosphere. 相似文献

Tracing carbon and oxygen isotope signals from newly assimilated sugars in the leaves to the tree-ring archive 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The analysis of δ 13 C and δ 18 O in tree-ring archives offers retrospective insights into environmental conditions and ecophysiological processes. While photosynthetic carbon isotope discrimination and evaporative oxygen isotope enrichment are well understood, we lack information on how the isotope signal is altered by downstream metabolic processes.
In Pinus sylvestris , we traced the isotopic signals from their origin in the leaf water ( δ18 O) or the newly assimilated carbon ( δ 13 C), via phloem sugars to the tree-ring, over a time-scale that ranges from hours to a growing season.
Seasonally, variable13 C enrichment of sugars related to phloem loading and transport did lead to uncoupling between δ 13 C in the tree-ring, and the c i / c a ratio at the leaf level. In contrast, the oxygen isotope signal was transferred from the leaf water to the tree-ring with an expected enrichment of 27‰, with time-lags of approximately 2 weeks and with a 40% exchange between organic oxygen and xylem water oxygen during cellulose synthesis.
This integrated overview of the fate of carbon and oxygen isotope signals within the model tree species P. sylvestris provides a novel physiological basis for the interpretation of δ13 C and δ 18 O in tree-ring ecology. 相似文献

The variations in δ 13 C in both leaf carbohydrates (starch and sucrose) and CO2 respired in the dark from the cotyledonary leaves of Phaseolus vulgaris L. were investigated during a progressive drought. As expected, sucrose and starch became heavier (enriched in 13 C) with decreasing stomatal conductance and decreasing p i / p a during the first half (15 d) of the dehydration cycle. Thereafter, when stomata remained closed and leaf net photosynthesis was near zero, the tendency was reversed: the carbohydrates became lighter (depleted in 13 C). This may be explained by increased p i / p a but other possible explanations are also discussed. Interestingly, the variations in δ 13 C of CO2 respired in the dark were correlated with those of sucrose for both well-watered and dehydrated plants. A linear relationship was obtained between δ 13 C of CO2 respired in the dark and sucrose, respired CO2 always being enriched in 13 C compared with sucrose by ≈ 6‰. The whole leaf organic matter was depleted in 13 C compared with leaf carbohydrates by at least 1‰. These results suggest that: (i) a discrimination by ≈ 6‰ occurs during dark respiration processes releasing 13 C-enriched CO2 ; and that (ii) this leads to 13 C depletion in the remaining leaf material. 相似文献

Effect of an increased sink demand on the carbon metabolism and export of a maize source leaf 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The sink demand was increased on a source maize leaf ( Zea mays L. cv. F7F2) by darkening all the leaves except the fourth, which was maintained under the prevailing irradiance conditions. The parameters of carbon metabolism were measured precisely during the first hours, and then daily during one week. The ambient photosynthetic activity and the maximum photosynthetic capacity were not altered by the treatment but the soluble carbohydrate and starch contents diminished, while ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (EC 2.7.7.27) activity increased. The carbon export rate, evaluated by the rate of disappearance of radioactivity after a 1-min 14 CO2 pulse, was faster than in control leaves. A compartmental analysis of the time course of 14 C export further indicated that the sucrose pool providing the export flux was largely increased by the dark treatment. The darkened leaf 5, taken as an example of the darkened sources, was completely depleted of its carbohydrate content after one day in the dark and remained devoid of carbohydrates during the following week. 相似文献

In contrast to the light-promoted uptake by mesophyll cells, light slightly inhibited sucrose uptake by stripped leaf disks of Commelina benghalensis L. This phenomenon appeared to result from a light-promoted vein-associated release, as light stimulated photosynthate release from stripped disks and inhibited that from mesophyll cells. In the -presence of the resorption-blocker p -chloromercuriphenylsulfonic acid, (PCMBS) the release of preloaded [14 C]-sugars (sucrose, glucose) and [14 C]-amino acids (alanine, asparagine, proline, valine, α-aminoisobutyric acid) from stripped disks was doubled in the light. Illumination enhanced by 20 to 60% the release of endogenous leaf cell compounds (sucrose, H2 PO-4 , K+ , Mg2+ , Ca2+ ) from stripped disks in the presence of PCMBS. Light also increased the export of [14 C]-assimilates from intact leaves by 20% after pulse-labelling with 14 CO2 . A model for loading is proposed, based on the differential light sensitivities of the plasma membranes in the mesophyll-to-sieve tube path. 相似文献
