Chloroplasts migrate in response to different light intensities. Under weak light, chloroplasts gather at an illuminated area to maximize light absorption and photosynthesis rates (the accumulation response). In contrast, chloroplasts escape from strong light to avoid photodamage (the avoidance response). Photoreceptors involved in these phenomena have been identified in Arabidopsis thaliana and Adiantum capillus-veneris. Chloroplast behavior has been studied in detail during the accumulation response, but not for the avoidance response. Hence, we analyzed the chloroplast avoidance response in detail using dark-adapted Adiantum capillus-veneris gametophyte cells and partial cell irradiation with a microbeam of blue light. Chloroplasts escaped from an irradiated spot. Both duration of this response and the distance of the migrated chloroplasts were proportional to the total fluence irradiated. The speed of movement during the avoidance response was dependent on the fluence rate, but the speed of the accumulation response towards the microbeam from cell periphery was constant irrespective of fluence rate. When a chloroplast was only partially irradiated with a strong microbeam, it moved away towards the non-irradiated region within a few minutes. During this avoidance response two additional microbeam irradiations were applied to different locus of the same chloroplast. Under these conditions the chloroplast changed the moving direction after a lag time of a few minutes without rolling. Taken together, these findings indicate that chloroplasts can move in any direction and never have an intrinsic polarity. Similar phenomenon was observed in chloroplasts of Arabidopsis thaliana palisade cells.  相似文献

When prothalli ofAdiantum capillus-veneris L. were kept for 2 d in the dark, chloroplasts gathered along the anticlinal walls (Kagawa and Wada, 1994, J Plant Res 107: 389–398). In these dark-adapted prothallial cells, irradiation with a microbeam (10 gm in diameter) of red (R) or blue light (B) for 60 s moved the chloroplasts towards the irradiated locus during a subsequent dark period. Chloroplasts located less than 20 gm from the center of the R microbeam (18 J·m–2) moved towards the irradiated locus. The higher the fluence of the light, the greater the distance from which chloroplasts could be attracted. The B microbeam was less effective than the R microbeam. Chloroplasts started to move anytime up to 20 min after the R stimulus, but with the B microbeam the effect of the stimulus was usually apparent within 10 min after irradiation. The velocity of chloroplast migration was independent of light-fluence in both R and B and was about - 0.3 m·min–1 between 15 min and 30 min after irradiation. Whole-cell irradiation with far-red light immediately after R- and B-microbeam irradiations demonstrated that these responses were mediated by phytochrome and a blue-light-absorbing pigment, respectively. Sequential treatment with R and B microbeams, whose fluence rates were less than the threshold values when applied separately, resulted in an additive effect and induced chloroplast movement, strongly suggesting that signals from phytochrome and the blue-light-absorbing pigment could interact at some point before the induction of chloroplast movement.Abbreviations B blue light - FR far-red light - IR infrared light - R red light  相似文献

 The light-induced intracellular relocation of chloroplasts was examined in red-light-grown protonemal cells of the moss Physcomitrella patens. When irradiated with polarized red or blue light, chloroplast distribution in the cell depended upon the direction of the electrical vector (E-vector) in both light qualities. When the E-vector was parallel to the cross-wall (i.e. perpendicular to the protonemal axis), chloroplasts accumulated along the cross-wall; however, no accumulation along the cross-wall was observed when the E-vector was perpendicular to it (i.e. parallel to the protonemal axis). When a part of the cell was irradiated with a microbeam of red or blue light, chloroplasts accumulated at or avoided the illumination point depending on the fluence rate used. Red light of 0.1–18 W m−2 and blue light of 0.01–85.5 W m−2 induced an accumulation response (low-fluence-rate response; LFR), while an avoidance response (high-fluence-rate response; HFR) was induced by red light of 60 W m−2 or higher and by blue light of 285 W m−2. The red-light-induced LFR and HFR were nullified by a simultaneous background irradiation of far-red light, whereas the blue-light-induced LFR and HFR were not affected at all by this treatment. These results show, for the first time, that dichroic phytochrome, as well as the dichroic blue-light receptor, is involved in the chloroplast relocation movement in these bryophyte cells. Further, the phytochrome-mediated responses but not the blue-light responses were revealed to be lost when red-light-grown cells were cultured under white light for 2 d.

Blue light-induced chloroplast relocation   总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14  
Chloroplast relocation movement is induced by blue light in most plants tested. Under weak light, chloroplasts move toward a brighter area in a cell (called low-fluence-rate response or accumulation movement), but they avoid strong light and move away from the light (called high-fluence-rate response or avoidance movement). Recently, mutants deficient in the chloroplast avoidance movement were isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana. The results of mutant analyses revealed that the phototropin photoreceptors phot1 and phot2 both control chloroplast accumulation while phot2 alone controls the avoidance movements.  相似文献

Cytoskeleton dynamics during phototropin-dependent chloroplast photorelocation movement was analyzed in protonemal cells of actin- and microtubule-visualized lines of Physcomitrella patens expressing GFP- or tdTomato-talin and GFP-tubulin. Using newly developed epi- and trans-microbeam irradiation systems that permit fluorescence observation of the cell under blue microbeam irradiation inducing chloroplast relocation, it was revealed that meshwork of actin filaments formed at the chloroplast-accumulating area both in the avoidance and accumulation movements. The structure disappeared soon when blue microbeam was turned off, and it was not induced under red microbeam irradiation that did not evoke chloroplast relocation movement. In contrast, no apparent change in microtubule organization was detected during the movements. The actin meshwork was composed of short actin filaments distinct from the cytoplasmic long actin cables and was present between the chloroplasts and plasma membrane. The short actin filaments emerged from around the chloroplast periphery towards the center of chloroplast. Showing highly dynamic behavior, the chloroplast actin filaments (cp-actin filaments) were rapidly organized into meshwork on the chloroplast surface facing plasma membrane. The actin filament configuration on a chloroplast led to the formation of actin meshwork area in the cell as the chloroplasts arrived at and occupied the area. After establishment of the meshwork, cp-actin filaments were still highly dynamic, showing appearance, disappearance, severing and bundling of filaments. These results indicate that the cp-actin filaments have significant roles in the chloroplast movement and positioning in the cell.  相似文献

Orientational movement of chloroplasts was induced by a brief irradiation with red light (R) or blue light (B) in dark-adapted prothallial cells ofAdiantum, whose chloroplasts had gathered along the cell dividing wall (i.e., the anticlinal wall). When the whole dark-adapted prothallia were irradiated from a horizontal direction (i.e., from their lobes) with horizontally vibrating polarized R (H pol. R) for 10 or 3 min, the chloroplast left the anticlinal walls and spread over the prothallial surface (i.e., the periclinal walls) within 1–2 hr after the onset of irradiation, returning to the anticlinal wall (dark-position) within 10 hr. However, vertically vibrating polarized R (V pol. R) for 10 min did not induce the movement towards periclinal walls. The R effect was cancelled by non-polarized far-red light (FR) irradiation just after the R irradiation. Irradiation with H pol. B for 10 or 3 min but not with V pol. B could also induce a similar movement of chloroplasts, although the chloroplasts returned within 4 hr. The effect of H pol. B, however, was not cancelled by the subsequent FR irradiation. When a part of the dark-adapted cell at the prothallial surface was irradiated from above with a microbeam of R or B for 1 min, chloroplasts of the cell in the dark-position moved towards the irradiated locus in subsequent darkness. However, in the neighboring cells, orientational movement was not induced by either R or B microbeams. These results show that in dark-adapted prothallial cells, both brief irradiation with R and B can induce chloroplast photo-orientation and that the photoreceptors are phytochrome and blue light-absorbing pigment, respectively. It is also clear that effects of both R and B irradiation do not transfer to neighboring cells.  相似文献

Summary Changes in the organization of cortical actin microfilaments during phytochrome-mediated and blue light-induced photoorientation of chloroplasts were investigated by rhodamine-phalloidin staining in protonemal cells of the fernAdiantum capillusveneris. Low- and high-fluence rate responses were induced by partial irradiation of individual cells with a microbeam of 20 m in width. In the low-fluence rate responses to red and blue light, a circular structure composed of microfilaments was induced on the chloroplast concentrated in the irradiated region, on the side facing the plasma membrane, as already reported in the case of the low-fluence rate response induced by polarized red or blue light. Such a structure was not observed on the chloroplasts located far from the microbeam. Time-course studies revealed that the structure was induced after the chloroplasts gathered in the illuminated region and that the structure disappeared before chloroplasts moved out of this region when the microbeam was turned off. In the high-fluence rate response to blue light, chloroplasts avoided the irradiated site but accumulated in the shaded area adjacent the edges of microbeam. The circular structure made of microfilaments was also observed on the chloroplasts gathered in the area and it showed the same behavior with respect to its appearance and disappearance during a light/dark regime as in the case of the low-fluence rate response. However, no such circular structure was observed in the high-fluence rate response to red light, in which case the chloroplasts also avoided the illuminated region but no accumulation in the adjacent areas was induced. These results indicate that the circular structure composed of microfilaments may play a role in the anchorage of the chloroplast during intracellular photo-orientation.  相似文献

Chloroplasts change their intracellular positions in response to their light environment. Under darkness, chloroplasts assume special positions that are different from those under light conditions. Here, we analyzed chloroplast dark positioning using Adiantum capillus-veneris gametophyte cells. When chloroplasts were transferred into darkness, during the first 1–5 h, they moved towards the anticlinal cell walls bordering the adjacent cells rather rapidly. Then, they slowed down and accumulated at the anticlinal walls gradually over the following 24–36 h. The chloroplast movements could be roughly classified into two different categories: initial rapid straight movement and later, slow staggering movement. When the chloroplast accumulation response was induced in dark-adapted cells by partial cell irradiation with a microbeam targeted to the center of the cells, chloroplasts moved towards the beam spot from the anticlinal walls. However, when the microbeam was switched off, they moved to the nearest anticlinal walls and not to their original positions if they were not the closest, indicating that they know the direction of the nearest anticlinal wall and do not have particular areas that they migrate to during dark positioning.  相似文献

We have investigated the stomatal and phototropic responses to blue light of a number of single and double mutants at various loci that encode proteins involved in blue-light responses in Arabidopsis. The stomatal responses of light-grown mutant plants (cry1, cry2, nph1, nph3, nph4, cry1cry2, and nph1cry1) did not differ significantly from those of their wild-type counterparts. Second positive phototropic responses of etiolated mutant seedlings, cry1, cry2, cry1cry2, and npq1-2, were also similar to those of their wild-type counterparts. Although npq1 and single and double cry1cry2 mutants showed somewhat reduced amplitude for first positive phototropism, threshold, peak, and saturation fluence values for first positive phototropic responses of etiolated seedlings did not differ from those of wild-type seedlings. Similar to the cry1cry2 double mutants and to npq1-2, a phyAphyB mutant showed reduced curvature but no change in the position or shape of the fluence-response curve. By contrast, the phototropism mutant nph1-5 failed to show phototropic curvature under any of the irradiation conditions used in the present study. We conclude that the chromoproteins cry1, cry2, nph1, and the blue-light photoreceptor for the stomatal response are genetically separable. Moreover, these photoreceptors appear to activate separate signal transduction pathways.  相似文献

An action spectrum for the low-fluencerate response of chloroplast movement in protonemata of the fern Adiantum capillus-veneris L. was determined using polarized light vibrating perpendicularly to the protonema axis. The spectrum had several peaks in the blue region around 450 nm and one in the red region at 680 nm, the blue peaks being higher than the red one. The red-light action was suppressed by nonpolarized far-red light given simultaneously or alternately, whereas the bluelight action was not. Chloroplast movement was also induced by a local irradiation with a narrow beam of monochromatic light. A beam of blue light at low energy fluence rates (7.3·10-3-1.0 W m-2) caused movement of the chloroplasts to the beam area (positive response), while one at high fluence rates (10 W m-2 and higher) caused movement to outside of the beam area (negative response). A red beam caused a positive response at fluence rates up to 100 W m-2, but a negative response at very high fluence rates (230 and 470 W m-2). When a far-red beam was combined with total background irradiation with red light at fluence rates causing a low-fluence-rate response in whole cells, chloroplasts moved out of the beam area. When blue light was used as background irradiation, however, a narrow far-red beam had no effect on chloroplast distribution. These results indicate that the light-oriented movement of Adiantum chloroplasts is caused by red and blue light, mediated by phytochrome and another, unidentified photoreceptor(s), respectively. This movement depends on a local gradient of the far-red-absorbing form of phytochrome or of a photoexcited blue-light photoreceptor, and it includes positive and negative responses for both red and blue light.Abbreviations BL blue light - FR far-red light - Pfr far-red-absorbing form of phytochrome - Pr red-absorbing form of phytochrome - R red light - UV ultraviolet  相似文献

The phototropin (phot)-dependent intracellular relocation of chloroplasts is a ubiquitous phenomenon in plants. We have previously revealed the involvement of a short cp-actin (chloroplast actin) filament-based mechanism in this movement. Here, the reorganization of cp-actin filaments during the avoidance movement of chloroplasts was analyzed in higher time resolution under blue GFP (green fluorescent protein) excitation light in an actin filament-visualized line of Arabidopsis thaliana. Under standard background red light of 89 μmol m(-2) s(-1), cp-actin filaments transiently disappeared at approximately 30 s and reappeared in a biased configuration on chloroplasts approximately 70 s after blue excitation light irradiation. The timing of biased cp-actin reappearance was delayed under the background of strong red light or in the absence of red light. Consistently, chloroplast movement was delayed under these conditions. In phot1 mutants, acceleration of both the disappearance and reappearance of cp-actin filaments occurred, indicating an inhibitory action of phot1 on reorganization of cp-actin filaments. Avoidance movements began sooner in phot1 than in wild-type plants. No reorganization of cp-actin filaments was seen in phot2 or phot1phot2 mutants lacking phot2, which is responsible for avoidance movements. Surprisingly, jac1 (j-domain protein required for chloroplast accumulation response 1) mutants, lacking the accumulation response, showed no avoidance movements under the whole-cell irradiation condition for GFP observation. Cp-actin filaments in jac1 did not show a biased distribution, with a small or almost no transient decrease in the number. These results indicate a close association between the biased distribution of cp-actin filaments and chloroplast movement. Further, JAC1 is suggested to function in the biased cp-actin filament distribution by regulating their appearance and disappearance.  相似文献

In Arabidopsis leaves, chloroplast movement is fluence rate dependent. At optimal, lower light fluences, chloroplasts accumulate at the cell surface to maximize photosynthetic potential. Under high fluence rates, chloroplasts avoid incident light to escape photodamage. In this paper, we examine the phenomenon of chloroplast avoidance movement in greater detail and demonstrate a proportional relationship between fluence rate and the velocity of chloroplast avoidance. In addition we show that the amount of light-activated phototropin2, the photoreceptor for the avoidance response, likely plays a role in this phenomenon, as heterozygous mutant plants show a reduced avoidance velocity compared to that of homozygous wild type plants.  相似文献

Chloroplast movement was induced by partial cell illumination using a high-fluence blue microbeam in light-grown and dark-adapted prothallial cells of the fern Adiantum capillus-veneris. Chloroplasts inside the illuminated area moved out (high-fluence response [HFR]), whereas those outside moved toward the irradiated area (low-fluence response [LFR]), although they stopped moving when they reached the border. These results indicate that both HFR and LFR signals are generated by high-fluence blue light of the same area, and that an LFR signal can be transferred long-distance from the beam spot, although an HFR signal cannot. The lifetime of the HFR signal was calculated from the traces of chloroplast movement induced by a brief pulse from a high-fluence blue microbeam to be about 6 min. This is very short compared with that of the LFR (30–40 min; T. Kagawa, M. Wada [1994] J Plant Res 107: 389–398). These data indicate that the signal transduction pathways of the HFR and the LFR must be distinct.  相似文献

Under low light conditions, chloroplasts gather at a cell surface to maximize light absorption for efficient photosynthesis, which is called the accumulation response. Phototropin1 (phot1) and phototropin2 (phot2) were identified as blue light photoreceptors in the accumulation response that occurs in Arabidopsis thaliana and Adiantum capillus-veneris with neochrome1 (neo1) as a red light photoreceptor in A. capillus-veneris. However, the signal molecule that is emitted from the photoreceptors and transmitted to the chloroplasts is not known. To investigate this topic, the accumulation response was induced by partial cell irradiation with a microbeam of red, blue and far-red light in A. capillus-veneris gametophyte cells. Chloroplasts moved towards the irradiated region and were able to sense the signal as long as its signal flowed. The signal from neo1 had a longer life than the signal that came from phototropins. When two microbeams with the same wavelength and the same fluence rate were placed 20 μm apart from each other and were applied to a dark-adapted cell, chloroplasts at an equidistant position always moved towards the center (midpoint) of the two microbeams, but not towards either one. This result indicates that chloroplasts are detecting the concentration of the signal but not the direction of signal flow. Chloroplasts repeatedly move and stop at roughly 10 s intervals during the accumulation response, suggesting that they monitor the intermittent signal waves from photoreceptors.  相似文献

The effects of chloroplast number and size on the capacity for blue light-dependent chloroplast movement, the ability to increase light absorption under low light, and the susceptibility to photoinhibition were investigated in Arabidopsis thaliana. Leaves of wild-type and chloroplast number mutants with mean chloroplast numbers ranging from 120 to two per mesophyll cell were analysed. Chloroplast movement was monitored as changes in light transmission through the leaves. Light transmission was used as an indicator of the ability of leaves to optimize light absorption. The ability of leaves to deal with 3 h of high light stress at 10 degrees C and their capacity to recover in low light was determined by measuring photochemical efficiencies of PSII using chlorophyll a fluorescence. Chloroplast movement was comparable in leaves ranging in chloroplast numbers from 120 to 30 per mesophyll cell: the final light transmission levels after exposure to 0.1 (accumulation response) and 100 micromol photons m(-2) s(-1) (avoidance response) were indistinguishable, the chloroplasts responded quickly to small increases in light intensity and the kinetics of movement were similar. However, when chloroplast numbers per mesophyll cell decreased to 18 or below, the accumulation response was significantly reduced. The avoidance response was only impaired in mutants with nine or fewer chloroplasts, both in terms of final transmission levels and the speed of movement. Only mutants lacking both blue light receptors (phot1/phot2) or those with drastically reduced chloroplast numbers and severely impacted avoidance responses showed a reduced ability to recover from high light stress.  相似文献

A new microcontroller-based photometric instrument for monitoring blue light dependent changes in leaf transmission (chloroplast movement) was developed based on a modification of the double-beam technique developed by Walzcak and Gabrys [(1980) Photosynthetica 14: 65–72]. A blue and red bicolor light emitting diode (LED) provided both a variable intensity blue actinic light and a low intensity red measuring beam. A phototransistor detected the intensity of the transmitted measuring light. An inexpensive microcontroller independently and precisely controlled the light emission of the bicolor LED. A typical measurement event involved turning off the blue actinic light for 100 μs to create a narrow temporal window for turning on and measuring the transmittance of the red light. The microcontroller was programmed using LogoChip Logo (http://www.wellesley.edu/Physics/Rberg/logochip/) to record fluence rate response curves. Laser scanning confocal microscopy was utilized to correlate the changes in leaf transmission with intercellular chloroplast position. In the dark, the chloroplasts in the spongy mesophyll exhibited no evident asymmetries in their distribution, however, in the palisade layer the cell surface in contact with the overlying epidermis was devoid of chloroplasts. The low light dependent decrease in leaf transmittance in dark acclimated leaves was correlated with the movement of chloroplasts within the palisade layer into the regions previously devoid of chloroplasts. Changes in leaf transmittance were evident within one minute following the onset of illumination. Minimal leaf transmittance was correlated with chloroplasts having retreated from cell surfaces perpendicular to the incident light (avoidance reaction) in both spongy and palisade layers.Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material is available for this article at  相似文献

Chloroplast photorelocation movement in green plants is generally mediated by blue light. However, in cryptogam plants, including ferns, mosses, and algae, both red light and blue light are effective. Although the photoreceptors required for this phenomenon have been identified, the mechanisms underlying this movement response are not yet known. In order to analyze this response in more detail, chloroplast movement was induced in dark-adapted Adiantum capillus-veneris gametophyte cells by partial cell irradiation with a microbeam of red and/or blue light. In each case, chloroplasts were found to move toward the microbeam-irradiated area. A second microbeam was also applied to the cell at a separate location before the chloroplasts had reached the destination of the first microbeam. Under these conditions, chloroplasts were found to change their direction of movement without turning and move toward the second microbeam-irradiated area after a lag time of a few minutes. These findings indicate that chloroplasts can move in any direction and do not exhibit a polarity for chloroplast accumulation movement. This phenomenon was analyzed in detail in Adiantum and subsequently confirmed in Arabidopsis thaliana palisade cells. Interestingly, the lag time for direction change toward the second microbeam in Adiantum was longer in the red light than in the blue light. However, the reason for this discrepancy is not yet understood.

Chloroplasts move in a light-dependent manner that can modulate the photosynthetic potential of plant cells. Identification of genes required for light-induced chloroplast movement is beginning to define the molecular machinery that controls these movements. In this work, we describe plastid movement impaired 2 (pmi2), a mutant in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) that displays attenuated chloroplast movements under intermediate and high light intensities while maintaining a normal movement response under low light intensities. In wild-type plants, fluence rates below 20 micromol m(-2) s(-1) of blue light lead to chloroplast accumulation on the periclinal cell walls, whereas light intensities over 20 micromol m(-2) s(-1) caused chloroplasts to move toward the anticlinal cell walls (avoidance response). However, at light intensities below 75 micromol m(-2) s(-1), chloroplasts in pmi2 leaves move to the periclinal walls; 100 micromol m(-2) s(-1) of blue light is required for chloroplasts in pmi2 to move to the anticlinal cell walls, indicating a shift in the light threshold for the avoidance response in the mutant. The pmi2 mutation has been mapped to a gene that encodes a protein of unknown function with a large coiled-coil domain in the N terminus and a putative P loop. PMI2 shares sequence and structural similarity with PMI15, another unknown protein in Arabidopsis that, when mutated, causes a defect in chloroplast avoidance under high-light intensities.  相似文献
