CONSTANS (CO) is an important floral regulator in the photoperiod pathway, integrating the circadian clock and light signal into a control for flowering time. It is known that CO promotes flowering in Arabidopsis under long-day conditions. CONSTANS-LIKE 9 (COL9) is a member of the CONSTANS-LIKE gene family, encoding a nuclear protein. The expression of COL9 is regulated by the circadian clock in the photoperiod pathway and is detected in various organs. Unexpectedly, overexpression of COL9 in transgenic Arabidopsis resulted in delayed flowering, while co-suppression lines and a transferred DNA (T-DNA) knockout line showed earlier flowering under long-day conditions. Overexpression of COL9 did not enhance the late-flowering phenotype in a co mutant background. Double overexpressors produced by overexpression of CO in COL9 transgenic lines showed an early flowering phenotype similar to single CO overexpressors. The pattern of oscillation of a number of circadian-associated genes remained unchanged in the COL9 transgenic lines. Compared with wild-type plants, the abundance of CO and FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) mRNA was reduced in the COL9 overexpression lines. Our results indicate that COL9 is involved in regulation of flowering time by repressing the expression of CO, concomitantly reducing the expression of FT and delaying floral transition.  相似文献

高等植物开花时程的基因调控(Ⅰ)   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
高等植物从营养生长向生殖生长及发育转变的时程具有重要意义,但是了解得很少。近6年来利用分子遗传学方法详细地分析了拟南芥中的这一转变的时程变化,为高等植物开花时程的基因调控提供了一个很好的模式。有关早期或晚期开花表现型的大量突变体及遗传变异得到了阐述。这里谈到的表现型对影响开花转变的环境及内部因子的控制有重大作用。通过分子生物学、遗传学和生理学分析已经鉴定了参与此过程的不同组分,如光识别和昼夜节律(circadian rhythm)因子。另外,通过克隆某些花诱导基因及其相应的靶基因已经对参与开花信号转导途径(signal transduction pathway)的相关因子进行了系统的鉴定,这些开创性工作大大促进了高等植物开花时程的基因表达调控研究及其机理的阐明。本实验室在以黄瓜、新红宝西瓜、西葫芦为材料所获得的部分结果基础上,主要以近六年来在拟南芥方面获得的进展为依据,对高等植物开花时程的基因调控作一系统的总结,并对其开花时程基因调控的机理提出可能的作用理论模型。  相似文献

Floral transition mutants in Arabidopsis   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
An inventory of genetic differences in flowering time in Arabidopsis is presented and discussed. Many genes influence the transition to flowering in a quantitative way. Two groups of mutants and natural variants can be distinguished: those that are responsive to environmental factors and those that are less responsive or unresponsive. It is possible that all late/early-flowering mutants isolated to date carry a mutation with an effect, either promotive or repressive, on a floral repressor. The interaction between light perception and flowering has been studied by analysis of phytochrome- and cryptochrome-deficient mutants, which showed that phyA and probably also cryptochrome have a promotive role in flowering, whereas phyB and other stable phytochromes have an inhibitory role. A circadian rhythm is important in establishing daylength sensitivity, as was shown by the phenotype of the elf 3 mutants.  相似文献

Cereus peruvianus (Peruvian apple cactus) is a large erect and thorny succulent cactus characterized by column-like (cereus [L]: column), that is, candle-shaped, appendages. For three successive years (1100 days), between early April and late November, we studied the flowering patterns of eight cacti growing in public gardens and rural areas of north and central Tunisia, far from nighttime artificial illumination, in relation to natural environmental light, temperature, relative humidity and precipitation parameters. Flower blooming was assessed nightly between 23:00 h and until at least 02:00 h, and additionally around-the-clock at ~1 h intervals for 30 consecutive days during the late summer of each year of study to quantify both nyctohemeral (day–night) and lunar patterns. During the summer months of prolonged daytime photoperiod, flower blooming of C. peruvianus exhibited predictable-in-time variation as “waves” with average period of 29.5 days synchronized by the light of the full moon. The large-sized flower (~16 cm diameter) opens almost exclusively at night, between sunset and sunrise, as a 24 h rhythm during a specific 3–4-day span of the lunar cycle (full moon), with a strong correlation between moon phase and number and proportion of flowers in bloom (ranging from r = +0.59 to +0.91). Black, blue and red cotton sheets were used to filter specific spectral bands of nighttime moonlight from illuminating randomly selected plant appendages as a means to test the hypothesis of a “gating” 24 h rhythm phenomenon of photoreceptors at the bud level. Relative to control conditions (no light filtering), black sheet covering inhibited flower bud induction by 87.5%, red sheet covering by 46.6% and blue sheet covering by 34%, and the respective inhibiting effects on number of flowers in bloom were essentially 100%, ~81% and ~44%. C. peruvianus is a unique example of a terrestrial plant that exhibits a circadian flowering rhythm (peak ~00:00 h) “gated” by 24 h, lunar 29.5-day (bright light of full moon) and annual 365.25-day (prolonged summertime day length) environmental photoperiod cycles.  相似文献

The Oxygen activating mechanism of Fusarium lipoxygenase, a heme-containing dioxygenase, was studied. The enzyme did not require any cofactors, such as H2O2, however, both superoxide dismutase and catalase inhibited linoleate peroxidation by Fusarium lipoxygenase. A low concentration of H2O2 caused a distinct acceleration in enzymatic peroxidation. These results indicate that both O2? and H2O2 are produced as essential intermediates of oxygen activation during formation of linoleate hydroperoxides by Fusarium lipoxygenase. This peroxidation reaction was also prevented by scavengers of singlet oxygen (1O2), but not by scavengers of hydroxy 1 radical (OH). Generation of O2? in the enzyme reaction was detected by its ability to oxidize epinephrine to adrenochrome. Moreover, the rate of peroxide formation was greater in the D2O than in the H2O buffer system. These results suggest that the Haber–Weiss reaction (O2?+H2O2→OH?+OH·+1O2) is taking part in linoleate peroxidation by Fusarium lipoxygenase, and the 1O2 evolved could be responsible for the peroxidation of linoleate. H2O2 produced endogenously in the enzyme reaction might act as an activating factor for the enzyme. This possible mechanism of oxygen activation can explain the absence of a need for exogenous cofactors with Fusarium lipoxygenase in contrast to an other heme-containing dioxygenase, tryptophan pyrrolase, which requires an exogenous activating factor, such as H2O2.  相似文献

Pseudomonas 0–3 strain which was isolated from soil can grow on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a sole carbon source. When 0.5 per cent of PVA (500, 1500 or 2000) was employed as the carbon source in the culture medium, PVA was almost completely lost from the culture fluid after a week and the concentration of total organic carbon measured by a TOC analyzer decreased from the initial value of about 2700 ppm to 250~300 ppm after 7~10 days culture. This bacterium was found to produce and secrete an inducible enzyme which degrade PVA. The way by which this enzyme degrades PVA was examined and the results were obtained which suggested that PVA was broken down oxidatively in a way of endowise splitting. However, the mechanism of PVA degradation has not been clarified yet. The optimum pH and temperature for enzyme activity were examined and they were 7.5~8.5 and 35~45°C, respectively. Morphological and biological characteristics of this bacterium were examined and it was similar to a strain of Pseudomonas boreopolis.  相似文献

The plant maintains a 24‐h circadian cycle that controls the sequential activation of many physiological and developmental functions. There is empirical evidence suggesting that two types of circadian rhythms exist. Some plant rhythms appear to be set by the light transition at dawn, and are calibrated to circadian (zeitgeber) time, which is measured from sunrise. Other rhythms are set by both dawn and dusk, and are calibrated to solar time that is measured from mid‐day. Rhythms on circadian timing shift seasonally in tandem with the timing of dawn that occurs earlier in summer and later in winter. On the other hand, rhythms set to solar time are maintained independently of the season, the timing of noon being constant year‐round. Various rhythms that run in‐phase and out‐of‐phase with one another seasonally may provide a means to time and induce seasonal events such as flowering.  相似文献

The effects of tropomyosin and troponin on the heat-induced gelation of myosin were investigated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, scanning electron microscopy and gel rigidity assay, in comparisons with natural and desensitized actomyosin. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretograms revealed that tropomyosin was almost completely removed from each desensitized actomyosin samples while it was retained in natural actomyosin samples. In spite of this, no significant differences were found in rigidity between natural and desensitized actomyosin gels. No differences could be observed in the microstructure of either actomyosin gel. It may, therefore, be concluded that tropomyosin does not affect the gel texture of the actomyosin system.  相似文献

本研究旨在观察和比较视交叉上核(suprachiasmatic nucleus,SCN)与松果体(pineal gland,pG)中Clock基因内源性昼夜转录变化规律以及光照对其的影响。Sprague-Dawley大鼠在持续黑暗(constant darkness,DD)和12h光照:12h黑暗交替(12hourlight:12hour-darkcycle,LD)光制下分别被饲养8周(n=36)和4周n=36)后,在一昼夜内每隔4h采集一组SCN和PG组织(n=6),提取总RNA,用竞争性定量RT-PCR测定不同昼夜时点(circadian times.CT or zeitgeber times.ZT)各样品中Clock基因的mRNA相对表达量,通过余弦法和ClockLab软件获取节律参数,并经振幅检验是否存在昼夜节律性转录变化。结果如下:(1)SCN中Clock基因mRNA的转录在DD光制下呈现昼低夜高节律性振荡变化(P〈0.05),PG中Clock基因的转录也显示相似的内源性节律外观,即峰值出现于主观夜晚(SCN为CTl5,PG为CT18),谷值位于主观白天(SCN为CT3,PG为CT6)(P〉0.05)。(2)LD光制下SCN中Clock基因的转录也具有昼夜节律性振荡(P〈0.05),但与其DD光制下节律外观相比,呈现反时相节律变化(P〈0.05),且其表达的振幅及峰值的mRNA水平均增加(P〈0.05),而PG中Clock基因在LD光制下转录的相应节律参数变化却恰恰相反(P〈0.05)。(3)在LD光制下,光照使PG中Clock基因转录的节律外观反时相于SCN(P〈0.05),即在SCN和PG的峰值分别出现于光照期ZT10和黑暗期ZT17,谷值分别位于黑暗期ZT22和光照期ZT5。结果表明,Clock基因的昼夜转录在SCN和PG中存在同步的内源性节律本质,而光导引在这两个中枢核团调节Clock基因昼夜节律性转录方面有着不同的作用。  相似文献

In many plants the transition from vegetative growth to flowering is controlled by environmental cues. One of these cues is day length or photoperiod, which synchronizes flowering of many species with the changing seasons. Recently, advances have been made in understanding the molecular mechanisms that confer photoperiodic control of flowering and, in particular, how inductive events occurring in the leaf, where photoperiod is perceived, are linked to floral evocation that takes place at the shoot apical meristem. We discuss recent data obtained using molecular genetic approaches on the function of regulatory proteins that control flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana. These data are compared with the results of physiological analyses of the floral transition, which were performed in a range of species and directed towards identification of the transmitted floral singals.  相似文献

Light is the strongest synchronizer of human circadian rhythms, and exposure to residential light at night reportedly causes a delay of circadian rhythms. The present study was conducted to investigate the association between color temperature of light at home and circadian phase of salivary melatonin in adults and children. Twenty healthy children (mean age: 9.7 year) and 17 of their parents (mean age: 41.9 years) participated in the experiment. Circadian phase assessments were made with dim light melatonin onset (DLMO). There were large individual variations in DLMO both in adults and children. The average DLMO in adults and in children were 21:50 ± 1:12 and 20:55 ± 0:44, respectively. The average illuminance and color temperature of light at eye level were 139.6 ± 82.7 lx and 3862.0 ± 965.6 K, respectively. There were significant correlations between color temperature of light and DLMO in adults (r = 0.735, p < 0.01) and children (r = 0.479, p < 0.05), although no significant correlations were found between illuminance level and DLMO. The results suggest that high color temperature light at home might be a cause of the delay of circadian phase in adults and children.  相似文献
