Classic plant tissue culture experiments have shown that exposure of cell culture to a high auxin to cytokinin ratio promotes
root formation and a low auxin to cytokinin ratio leads to shoot regeneration. It has been widely accepted that auxin and
cytokinin play an antagonistic role in the control of organ identities during organogenesis in vitro. Since the auxin level
is highly elevated in the shoot meristem tissues, it is unclear how a low auxin to cytokinin ratio promotes the regeneration
of shoots. To identify genes mediating the cytokinin and auxin interaction during organogenesis in vitro, three allelic mutants
that display root instead of shoot regeneration in response to a low auxin to cytokinin ratio are identified using a forward
genetic approach in Arabidopsis. Molecular characterization shows that the mutations disrupt the AUX1 gene, which has been reported to regulate auxin influx in plants. Meanwhile, we find that cytokinin substantially stimulates
auxin accumulation and redistribution in calli and some specific tissues of Arabidopsis seedlings. In the aux1 mutants, the cytokinin regulated auxin accumulation and redistribution is substantially reduced in both calli and specific
tissues of young seedlings. Our results suggest that auxin elevation and other changes stimulated by cytokinin, instead of
low auxin or exogenous auxin directly applied, is essential for shoot regeneration.

Growth and viability of Streptomyces coelicolor mutant for the cell division gene ftsZ 总被引:4,自引:2,他引:2
Joseph R. McCormick Edwin P. Su Adam Driks Richard Losick 《Molecular microbiology》1994,14(2):243-254
A homologue of the bacterial cell division gene ftsZ was cloned from the filamentous bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor. The gene was located on the physical map of the chromosome at about ‘11 o'clock’ (in the vicinity of glkA, hisA and trpB). Surprisingly, a null mutant in which the 399-codon ftsZ open reading frame was largely deleted was viable, even though the mutant was blocked in septum formation. This indicates that cell division may not be essential for the growth and viability of S. coelicolor. The ftsZ mutant was able to produce aerial hyphae but was unable to produce spores, a finding consistent with the idea that ftsZ is required in order for aerial hyphae to undergo septation into the uninucleoid cells that differentiate into spores. 相似文献

Cytokinins are plant hormones which have long been associated with cell division and plastid differentiation. Recently, they have been found to play a central role also in the growth of plant tumors. Certain phytopathogenic bacteria, notably Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Pseudomonas syringae pv. savastanoi, can incite tumors on dicotyledonous plants and such tumors exhibit growth which is characteristic of the presence of excess auxin and cytokinin. Genes specifying cytokinin biosynthesis have now been isolated from both sets of bacteria. The genes encode prenyl transferase responsible for cytokinin biosynthesis which, upon expression in E. coli,cause the production of the active cytokinin, zeatin. Expression of these genes in association with the plant is responsible for at least part of the tumor phenotype, although the molecular mechanisms of infection by these bacteria are apparently quite dissimilar. There is extensive homology between the cytokinin biosynthetic genes from the two sets of bacteria. 相似文献

The aim of the experiment was to determine the effects of synthetic auxin and cytokinin and the time of their application on some morphological and physiological characteristics of Medicago x varia T. Martyn grown under controlled conditions. The experiment was to check whether an application of exogenous hormones during vegetative and generative stages of the plant had an effect on above-ground mass development, on nitrate reductase activity and on plastid pigments content. Experiment factor was synthetic auxin and cytokinin and the date of their application. Auxin was applied in the form of a synthetic indole-3-butyric acid, while cytokinin was sprayed as synthetic 6-benzylaminopurine. The control plants were treated with distilled water. Depending on the experimental variant, spraying was applied at the sixth true leaf stage and at the first flower bud stage. The research showed that the response of the alfalfa plants to the application of cytokinin and auxin was not uniform. It seems that the most effective was the application of a mixture of them both but only during the vegetative stage.Additionally, cytokinin caused an increase in plastid pigments content in alfalfa leaves. On the other hand, a mixture of auxin and cytokinin triggered the highest nitrate reductase activity in alfalfa roots and raised the ratio of total chlorophyll content to carotenoids. Synthetic auxin caused the decrease of the levels of most parameters compared to the control. 相似文献

Arabidopsis cytokinin-resistant mutant, cnr1, displays altered auxin responses and sugar sensitivity
Based upon the phenotype of young, dark-grown seedlings, a cytokinin-resistant mutant, cnr1, has been isolated, which displays altered cytokinin- and auxin-induced responses. The mutant seedlings possess short hypocotyls and open apical hooks (in dark), and display agravitropism, hyponastic cotyledons, reduced shoot growth, compact rosettes and short roots with increased adventitious branching and reduced number of root hairs. A number of these features invariably depend upon auxin/cytokinin ratio but the cnr1 mutant retains normal sensitivity towards auxin as well as auxin polar transport inhibitor, TIBA, although upregulation of primary auxin-responsive Aux/IAA genes is reduced. The mutant shows resistance towards cytokinin in hypocotyl/root growth inhibition assays, displays reduced regeneration in tissue cultures (cytokinin response) and decreased sensitivity to cytokinin for anthocyanin accumulation. It is thus conceivable that due to reduced sensitivity to cytokinin, the cnr1 mutant also shows altered auxin response. Surprisingly, the mutant retains normal sensitivity to cytokinin for induction of primary response genes, the type-A Arabidopsis response regulators, although the basal level of their expression was considerably reduced as compared to the wild-type. The zeatin and zeatin riboside levels, as estimated by HPLC, and the cytokinin oxidase activity were comparable in the cnr1 mutant and the wild-type. The hypersensitivity to red light (in hypocotyl growth inhibition assay), partial photomorphogenesis in dark, and hypersensitivity to sugars, are some other features displayed by the cnr1 mutant. The lesion in the cnr1 mutant has been mapped to the top of chromosome 1 where no other previously known cytokinin-resistant mutant has been mapped, indicating that the cnr1 mutant defines a novel locus involved in hormone, light and sugar signalling. 相似文献

Expression of the bacterial ipt gene in Physcomitrella rescues mutations in budding and in plastid division 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Development of Physcomitrella patens (Hedw.) B.S.G. starts with a filamentous protonema growing by apical cell division. As a developmental switch, some subapical
cells produce three-faced apical cells, the so-called buds, which grow to form leafy shoots, the gametophores. Application
of cytokinins enhances bud formation but no subsequent gametophore development in several mosses. We used the ipt gene of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, encoding a protein which catalyzes the rate-limiting step in cytokinin biosynthesis, to transform two developmental Physcomitrella mutants. One mutant (P24) was defective in budding (bud) and thus did not produce three-faced cells, while the other one (PC22) was a double mutant, defective in plastid division (pdi), thus possessing at the most one giant chloroplast per cell, and in gametophore development (gad), resulting in malformed buds which could not differentiate into leafy gametophores. Expression of the ipt gene rescued the mutations in budding and in plastid division but not the one in gametophore development. By mutant rescue we provide evidence for a distinct physiological difference between externally applied and internally produced
cytokinins. Levels of immunoreactive cytokinins and indole-3-acetic acid were determined in tissues and in culture media of
the wild-type moss, both mutants and four of their stable ipt transformants. Isopentenyl-type cytokinins were the most abundant cytokinins in Physcomitrella, whereas zeatin-type cytokinins, the major native cytokinins of higher plants, were not detectable. Cytokinin as well as
auxin levels were enhanced in ipt transgenics, demonstrating a cross-talk between both metabolic pathways. In all genotypes, most of the cytokinin and auxin
was found extracellularly. These extracellular pools may be involved in hormone transport in the non-vascular mosses. We suggest
that both mutants are defective in signal-transduction rather than in cytokinin metabolism.

SHY2 as a node in the regulation of root meristem development by auxin,brassinosteroids, and cytokinin 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In multicellular organisms, the balance between cell division and differentiation determines organ size, and represents a central unknown in developmental biology. In Arabidopsis roots, this balance is mediated between cytokinin and auxin through a regulatory circuit converging on the IAA3/SHORT HYPOCOTYL 2 (SHY2) gene. Here, we show that crosstalk between brassinosteroids (BRs) and auxin occurs in the vascular transition zone to promote root meristem development. We found that BR increases root meristem size by up‐regulating expression of the PINFORMED 7 (PIN7) gene and down‐regulating expression of the SHY2 gene. In addition, BES1 could directly bind to the promoter regions of both PIN7 and SHY2, indicating that PIN7 and SHY2 mediate the BR‐induced growth of the root meristem by serving as direct targets of BES1. Moreover, the PIN7 overexpression and loss‐of‐function SHY2 mutant were sensitive to the effects of BR and could partially suppress the short‐root phenotypes associated with deficient BR signaling. Interestingly, BRs could inhibit the accumulation of SHY2 protein in response to cytokinin. Taken together, these findings suggest that a complex equilibrium model exists in which regulatory interactions among BRs, auxin, and cytokinin regulate optimal root growth. 相似文献

Mitochondria and plastids multiply by division in eukaryotic cells. Recently, the eukaryotic homolog of the bacterial cell division protein FtsZ was identified and shown to play an important role in the organelle division process inside the inner membrane. To explore the evolution of FtsZ proteins, and to accumulate data on the protein import system in mitochondria and plastids of the red algal lineage, one mitochondrial and three plastid ftsZ genes were isolated from the diatom Chaetoceros neogracile, whose plastids were acquired by secondary endosymbiotic uptake of a red alga. Protein import into organelles depends on the N‐terminal organelle targeting sequences. N‐terminal bipartite presequences consisting of an endoplasmic reticulum signal peptide and a plastid transit peptide are required for protein import into diatom plastids. To characterize the organelle targeting peptides of C. neogracile, we observed the localization of each green fluorescent protein‐tagged predicted organelle targeting peptide in cultured tobacco cells and diatom cells. Our data suggested that each targeting sequences functioned both in tobacco cultured cells and diatom cells. 相似文献

The role of hormones and gradients in the initiation of cortex proliferation and nodule formation in Pisum sativum L. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary The effect of exogenous phytohormones on proliferation of the root cortex, and their relation to the division factors from Rhizobium which participate in the initiation of root nodules, were studied using explants of root-cortex tissue from 7-day-old, sterile pea plants. The explants were cultured for 7 days on a synthetic nutrient medium supplemented with auxin, or auxin and cytokinin. With only auxin present in the medium, ca. 10% of the explants showed cell proliferation. With both auxin and cytokinin this percentage was much higher (ca. 80%). The active explants showed proliferation patterns which were similar to or could be derived from a pattern with three predominant meristematic areas in the inner cortex opposite the three xylem radii of the excised central cylinder. These proliferation patterns were similar to the initial proliferative stages in root-nodule formation in seedling intact roots. From this restricted division response of the explants to the hormones, a hypothesis of endogenous division factors is proposed. To test this hypothesis, extractions of root tissue were performed. The addition of a crude alcoholic extract from the central cylinder or the cortex to the medium resulted in cell divisions throughout the cortex. The results are interpreted as evidence for the presence of a transverse gradient system of (an) unknown cell-division factor(s) in the root cortex which may control the induction of cell divisions in nodule initiation brought about by the release of auxin and cytokinin from Rhizobium. 相似文献

The ipt gene from the T-DNA of Agrobacterium tumefaciens was transferred to tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) in order to study the control which auxin appears to exert over levels of cytokinin generated by expression of this gene. The transgenic tissues contained elevated levels of cytokinins, exhibited cytokinin and auxin autonomy and grew as shooty calli on hormone-free media. Addition of 1-naphthylacetic acid to this culture medium reduced the total level of cytokinins by 84% while 6-benzylaminopurine elevated the cytokinin level when added to media containing auxin. The cytokinins in the transgenic tissue were labelled with 3H and auxin was found to promote conversion of zeatin-type cytokinins to 3H-labelled adenine derivatives. When the very rapid metabolism of exogenous [3H]zeatin riboside was suppressed by a phenylurea derivative, a noncompetitive inhibitor of cytokinin oxidase, auxin promoted metabolism to adenine-type compounds. Since these results indicated that auxin promoted cytokinin oxidase activity in the transformed tissue, this enzyme was purified from the tobacco tissue cultures. Auxin did not increase the level of the enzyme per unit tissue protein, but did enhance the activity of the enzyme in vitro and promoted the activity of both glycosylated and non-glycosylated forms. This enhancement could contribute to the decrease in cytokinin level induced by auxin. Studies of cytokinin biosynthesis in the transgenic tissues indicated that trans-hydroxylation of isopentenyladenine-type cytokinins to yield zeatin-type cytokinins occurred principally at the nucleotide level.Abbreviations Ade

Summary Growth characteristics of tobacco protoplasts containing rolA linked to its own promoter, or the rolB, or rolC genes of Agrobacterium rhizogenes linked to the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus 35S RNA promoter were compared with those from untransformed plants. RolA protoplasts require auxin and cytokinin for callus formation. Protoplasts overexpressing rolB and C form callus in the absence of exogenously applied auxin and cytokinin, respectively. Long term callus growth requires auxin, but the requirement for cytokinin is not critical. Optimal transient expression of an auxin responsive promoter element occurred at lower external levels of auxin in rolB and rolC protoplasts compared with untransformed protoplasts. Addition of putrescine was required for auxin responsive transient gene expression in rolA protoplasts suggesting that polyamines, or their products affect gene expression in rolA plants.Abbreviations T-DNA

The roles of auxin and cytokinin in cell cycle reactivation were studied during the first 48 h of culture of mesophyll protoplasts
of Nicotiana tabacum. Using hormone delay and withdrawal studies we found that auxin was required by 0–4 h of culture, whereas cytokinin was not
required until hour 10–12, which is 6–10 h before S phase. Cycloheximide blocks division, indicating that protein synthesis
is required. In an effort to detect a molecular response to either hormone, we examined the expression of the cell cycle marker,
cdc2. Cdc2 expression was detected by 12 h of culture, coincident with the timing of the cytokinin requirement and well before the entry
into S. However, cdc2 was partially induced by either auxin or cytokinin alone, suggesting that cdc2 expression is not the primary target of either hormone. Our hormone delay experiments suggest that there are separate signal
transduction pathways leading from auxin and from cytokinin to reactivation of the cell cycle and that these pathways converge
before S. The underlying mechanisms for these distinct pathways remain to be elucidated.
