Treatment of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) seedlings with low levels of salinity (50 or 100 millimolar NaCl) decreased the rate of light-induced leaf cell expansion in the primary leaves over a 3 day period. This decrease could be due to a reduction in one or both of the primary cellular growth parameters: wall extensibility and cell turgor. Wall extensibility was assessed by the Instron technique. Salinity did not decrease extensibility and caused small increases relative to the controls after 72 hours. On the other hand, 50 millimolar NaCl caused a significant reduction in leaf bulk turgor at 24 hours; adaptive decreases in leaf osmotic potential (osmotic adjustment) were more than compensated by parallel decreases in the xylem tension potential and the leaf apoplastic solute potential, resulting in a decreased leaf water potential. It is concluded that in bean seedlings, mild salinity initially affects leaf growth rate by a decrease in turgor rather than by a reduction in wall extensibility. Moreover, longterm salinization (10 days) resulted in an apparent mechanical adjustment, i.e. an increase in wall extensibility, which may help counteract reductions in turgor and maintain leaf growth rates. 相似文献

Primary roots of intact maize plants (Zea mays L.) grown for several days in nutrient solutions containing 100 mol m−3 NaCl and additional calcium, had relatively inhibited rates of elongation. Possible physical restraints underlying this salt induced inhibition were investigated. The inhibition did not involve reductions in osmotic potential gradients and turgor in the tip tissues responsible for root elongation growth. The apparent yield threshold pressure, which is related to capacity of cell walls to undergo loosening by stress relaxation, was estimated psychrometrically in excised root tips. Salinity increased yield threshold values. Comparative root extensibility values were obtained for intact plants by determining the initial (1 min) increase in root elongation rate induced by an 0.1 MPa osmotic jump. Comparative extensibility was significantly reduced in the salinized root tips. Salinity did not reduce capacities for water efflux and associated elastic contraction in root tip tissues of intact plants exposed to hypertonic mannitol. We conclude that cell wall hardening in the elongating root tips is an important component of root growth inhibition induced by long-term salinization. 相似文献

The growth rate of maize ( Zea mays L. cv. Cross Bantam T51) coleoptiles in the dark was highest at the basal zone and decreased towards the tip. Growth was strongly inhibited by white fluorescent light (5 W m−2 ), especially in the basal zone of coleoptiles. Light irradiation caused an increase in the values of stress-relaxation parameters, the minimum stress-relaxation time and the relaxation rate and a decrease in the extensibility (strain/stress) of the cell walls at all zones. In addition, during growth, the accumulation of osmotic solutes was strongly inhibited by white light irradiation, resulting in an increased osmotic potential. The influences of white light on the mechanical properties of the cell wall and the osmotic potential of the tissue sap were most prominent in the basal zone. Significant correlations were observed between the increment of coleoptile length and the mechanical properties of the cell walls or the osmotic potential of the tissue sap and osmotic solutes content. Furthermore, light inhibited the outward bending of split coleoptile segments. These facts suggest that white light inhibits elongation of maize coleoptiles by modifying both the mechanical properties of the cell walls and cellular osmotic potential, which control the rate of water uptake. 相似文献

The elongation response elicited by incubating excised hypocotyl sections of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) in light in gibberellin (GA) can be enhanced by the addition of Cl(-), Br(-), and NO(3) (-) salts of K(+) and Na(+). Sections incubated in light in the absence of GA do not elongate in response to the addition of salts. In contrast, excised hypocotyls incubated in darkness elongate equally in both GA and water, and their elongation can also be enhanced by KCl treatment. Growth stimulation by the salts of K(+) and Na(+) occurs optimally at 10 mm and the magnitude of the response is proportional to the duration of salt treatment. Although the growth of sections incubated in light in the absence of GA is not enhanced by various salts of K(+) and Na(+), the concentration of these cations exceeds that in GA-treated sections. In dark-grown tissue, uptake of K(+) also occurs in both GA- and H(2)O-treated sections incubated in 10 mm KCl. Since increased osmotic potential resulting from cation uptake does not correlate with growth stimulation resulting from salt treatments, we conclude that increased cell turgor is not the principal driving force for growth in hypocotyl sections. Changes in the extensibility of GA-treated, light-grown tissue and dark-grown tissue incubated with and without GA correlate with the increased growth rate of these sections. Incubation of sections in KCl results only in changes in water potential of sections without having a significant effect on extensibility. When changes in water potential are accompanied by increased extensibility, however, a marked increase in growth rate is observed. 相似文献

Changes in cell-wall properties of wheat (Triticum aestivum) roots during aluminum-induced growth inhibition 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The effects of aluminum (Al) on root elongation, the mechanical extensibility of the cell wall, and the amount of cell-wall polysaccharides in the roots of Al-resistant (Atlas 66) and Al-sensitive (Scout 66) cultivars of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) were examined. Exposure to 10 μ M AlCl3 for 6 h inhibited root elongation in Scout 66 but not in Atlas 66. It also decreased the mechanical extensibility of the cell wall in the roots of both cultivars, but prominently only in the roots of Scout 66. The amount of hemicellulose in the 10-mm region of root apex of Scout 66 was increased by the exposure to Al, especially in the apical regions. Al did not influence the neutral sugar composition of either pectin or hemicellulose in Scout 66 roots. However, Al increased the weight-average molecular mass of hemicellulosic polysaccharides and the amounts of wall-bound ferulic and diferulic acids in Scout 66 roots. These findings suggest that Al modifies the metabolism of cell-wall components and thus makes the cell wall thick and rigid, thereby inhibiting the growth of wheat roots. 相似文献

Rapid cell enlargement in primary leaves of bean is induced by bright white light (WL), gibberellic acid (GA3) or the cytokinin N6-benzyladenine (BA). In previous studies it has been show that all three agents cause an increase in wall extensibility, although by different mechanisms. Here we examine the effects of the three growth promoters on the osmotic potential difference (delta Psi), the accumulation of solutes (delta TSC), the wall yield threshold (Y) and the growth potential (delta Psi -Y). With GA3 and BA, but not WL, there was a rapid decline in delta Psi as measured by the osmotic concentration of expressed sap. Unlike WL, neither GA3 nor BA promoted the accumulation of osmotic solutes. The decline in delta Psi, however, was apparently counteracted by a decline in Y since the growth potential, as measured by the external-osmoticum method, remained unchanged. It is concluded that WL, GA3 and BA all promote cell enlargement of bean leaves by increasing one cellular growth parameter, wall extensibility. Only WL, however, promotes osmotic adjustment during growth. 相似文献

It has been proposed that spacing between cellulose microfibrils within plant cell walls may be an important determinant of their mechanical properties. A consequence of this hypothesis is that the water content of cell walls may alter their extensibility and that low water potentials may directly reduce growth rates by reducing cell wall spacing. This paper describes a number of experiments in which the water potential of frozen and thawed growing hypocotyls of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) were altered using solutions of high molecular weight polyethylene glycol (PEG) or Dextran while their extension under constant stress was monitored using a creep extensiometer (frozen and thawed tissue was used to avoid confounding effects of turgor or active responses to the treatments). Clear reductions in extensibility were observed using both PEG and Dextran, with effects observed in hypocotyl segments treated with PEG 35 000 solutions with osmotic pressures of > or =0.21 MPa suggesting that the relatively mild stresses required to reduce water potentials of plants in vivo by 0.21 MPa may be sufficient to reduce growth rates via a direct effect on wall extensibility. It is noted, therefore, that the water binding capacity of plant cell walls may be of ecophysiological importance. Measurements of cell walls of sunflower hypocotyls using scanning electron microscopy confirmed that treatment of hypocotyls with PEG solutions reduced wall thickness, supporting the hypothesis that the spatial constraint of movement of cellulose microfibrils affects the mechanical properties of the cell wall. 相似文献

The mechanism inducing the difference in growth rate under various temperature (10–50 °C) conditions was analyzed using rice
and azuki bean seedlings. The growth rate of rice coleoptiles and azuki bean epicotyls increased as temperature increased
up to 40 and 30 °C, respectively, and the elongation was retarded at a higher temperature. The cell wall extensibility of
rice coleoptiles and azuki bean epicotyls also showed the highest value at 40 and 30 °C, respectively, and became smaller
as the temperature rose or dropped from the optimum. The opposite tendency was observed in the minimum stress-relaxation time
of the cell wall. On the other hand, the cellular osmotic concentration of rice coleoptiles and azuki bean epicotyls was lower
at the temperature optimum for growth at 40 and 30 °C, respectively. When rice and azuki bean seedlings grown at 10, 20, 40,
or 50 °C were transferred to the initial temperature (30 °C), the growth rate of coleoptiles and epicotyls was mostly elevated,
concomitant with an increase in the cell wall extensibility. The growth rate was correlated with the cell wall mechanical
parameters in both materials. These results suggest that the environmental temperature modulates the growth rate of plant
shoots by affecting mainly the mechanical properties of the cell wall.

To elucidate the mode of action of chromosaponin I (CSI) instimulating the growth of lettuce roots (Lactuca sativa L. cv.Grand Rapids), the possible involvement of ethylene was examined.Lettuce seedlings evolved ethylene at a rate of 0.7 nl 10 seeds1h1. The growth of lettuce roots was stimulated by 2-aminoethoxyvinyl-glycine(AVG), an inhibitor of ethylene synthesis, and 2,5-norbornadiene(NBD), an inhibitor of ethylene action, as well as by CSI. Incontrast to ethylene, treatments with CSI, AVG and NBD promotedlongitudinal elongation of cortical cells of roots and inhibitedtheir lateral expansion. Application of CSI slightly reducedethylene production from lettuce, but this reduction was notsufficient to account for the CSI-in-duced stimulation of growth.The maximal promotive effects of AVG and NBD were obtained at3 µM and 150 µl liter1, respectively. Thegrowth promotion by CSI disappeared in the presence of the optimumlevels of AVG or NBD; a further addition of ethylene causedthe stimulatory effects of CSI to increase, depending on theconcentration of ethylene. Thus, CSI reduced both the sensitivityof the roots to ethylene and the maximal effects of ethylene.The CSI-induced stimulation of growth was ascribed to the reductionof the response to ethylene in the lettuce roots.

The mechanism of cytokinin-induced cell expansion in cotyledons excised from dark-grown seedlings of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) and cucumber (Cucumus sativus L.) was studied. Cotyledons were incubated in dim light with or without 17 micromolar zeatin for periods up to 3 days. Fresh weights and osmotic potentials were measured daily. Cell wall extensibility properties were measured before and after the growth period. Also, experiments in which radish cotyledons were grown in mannitol solutions of various concentrations were performed. Comparisons of growth rates and increases of tissue osmotic potentials (toward zero) during growth without mannitol indicate that wall extensibility increased during the growth period and that this extensibility was enhanced by zeatin. 相似文献

The possible involvement of auxin in the action of gibberellin in stimulating cell elongation was examined by comparing the effects of gibberellic acid (GA) and IAA on the growth, osmoregulation and cell wall properties of the Alaska pea ( Pisum sativum L. cv. Alaska) subhook. Both GA and IAA stimulated cell elongation in the subhook region of derooted cuttings. Cotyledon excision decreased the stimulating effect of GA on the growth of the subhook region, but did not affect that of IAA. As the subhook region elongated, the osmotic potential of the cell sap and the total amount of osmotic solutes increased. Cotyledon excision accelerated the increase in the osmotic potential and suppressed the accumulation of osmotic solutes. In cuttings with cotyledons. GA partly counteracted the increase in the osmotic potential and substantially promoted the accumulation of osmotic solutes. On the other hand, in cuttings without cotyledons. GA did not affect the change in the osmotic potential although it slightly promoted the accumulation of osmotic solutes. IAA accelerated the increase in the osmotic potential, but did not affect the accumulation of osmotic solutes. IAA enhanced the extensibility of the cell wall, while GA did not affect it. These results suggest that at least in the Alaksa pea subhook region. GA does not stimulate cell elongation by affecting the level of auxin. 相似文献

Stimulation of elongation growth and xyloglucan breakdown in Arabidopsis hypocotyls under microgravity conditions in space 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. (ecotype Columbia and an ethylene-resistant mutant etr1-1) were cultivated for 68.5, 91.5 and 136 h on board during the Space Shuttle STS-95 mission, and changes in the elongation growth and the cell wall properties of hypocotyls were analyzed. Elongation growth of dark-grown hypocotyls of both Columbia and etr1-1 was stimulated under microgravity conditions in space. There were no clear differences in the degree of growth stimulation between Columbia and etr1-1, indicating that the ethylene level was not abnormally high in the cultural environment of this space experiment. Microgravity also increased the mechanical extensibility of cell walls in both cultivars, and such an increase was attributed to the increase in the apparent irreversible extensibility. The levels of cell wall polysaccharides per unit length of hypocotyls decreased in space. Microgravity also reduced the weight-average molecular mass of xyloglucans in the hemicellulose-II fraction. Also, the activity of xyloglucan-degrading enzymes extracted from hypocotyl cell walls increased under microgravity conditions. These results suggest that microgravity reduces the molecular mass of xyloglucans by increasing xyloglucan-degrading activity. Modifications of xyloglucan metabolism as well as the thickness of cell wall polysaccharides seem to be involved in an increase in the cell wall extensibility, leading to growth stimulation of Arabidopsis hypocotyls in space. 相似文献

Cell enlargement is inhibited by inadequate water. As a first step toward understanding the mechanism, all the physical parameters affecting enlargement were monitored to identify those that changed first, particularly in coincidence with the inhibition. The osmotic potential, turgor, yield threshold turgor, growth-induced water potential, wall extensibility, and conductance to water were measured in the elongating region, and the water potential was measured in the xylem of stems of dark-grown soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) seedlings. A stepdown in water potential was achieved around the roots by transplanting the seedlings to vermiculite of low water content, and each of the parameters was measured simultaneously in the same plants while intact or within a few minutes of being intact using a newly developed guillotine psychrometer. The gradient of decreasing water potential from the xylem to the enlarging cells (growth-induced water potential) was the first of the parameters to decrease to a growth-limiting level. The kinetics were the same as for the inhibition of growth. The decreased gradient was caused mostly by a decreased water potential of the xylem. This was followed after 5 to 10 hours by a similar decrease in cell wall extensibility and tissue conductance for water. Later, the growth-induced water potential recovered as a result of osmotic adjustment and a rise in the water potential of the xylem. Still later, moderate growth resumed at a rate apparently determined by the low wall extensibility and tissue conductance for water. The turgor did not change significantly during the experiment. These results indicate that the primary event during the growth inhibition was the change in the growth-induced water potential. Because the growth limitation subsequently shifted to the low wall extensibility and tissue conductance for water, the initial change in potential may have set in motion subsequent metabolic changes that altered the characteristics of the wall and cell membranes. 相似文献

Cell enlargement in primary leaves of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) can be induced, free of cell divisions, by exposure of 10-d-old, red-light-grown seedlings to white light. The absolute rate of leaf expansion increases until day 12, then decreases until the leaves reached mature size on day 18. The cause of the reduction in growth rate following day 12 has been investigated. Turgor calculated from measurements of leaf water and osmotic potential fell from 6.5 to 3.5 bar before day 12, but remained constant thereafter. The decline of growth after day 12 is not caused by a decrease in turgor. On the other hand, Instron-measured cell-wall extensibility decreased in parallel with growth rate after day 12. Two parameters influencing extensibility were examined. Light-induced acidification of cell walls, which has been shown to initiate wall extension, remained constant over the growth period (days 10–18). Furthermore, cells of any age could be stimulated to excrete H+ by fusicoccin. However, older tissue was not able to grow in response to fusicoccin or light. Measurements of acid-induced extension on preparations of isolated cell walls showed that as cells matured, the cell walls became less able to extend when acidified. These data indicate that it is a decline in the capacity for acid-induced wall loosening that reduces wall extensibility and thus cell enlargement in maturing leaves.Abbreviations and symbols FC

Water-stressed maize, barley and rice seedlings show species diversity in mechanisms of leaf growth inhibition 总被引:5,自引:1,他引:4
The possible occurrence of species diversity in mechanisms underlying
leaf-growth inhibition by water stress, was investigated in related cereal
plants. Water stress was generated by additions of the osmoticum
polyethylene glycol 6000 to the root medium. Effects of external water
potentials ranging from 0 to -0.6MPa, on early growth parameters of
emerging leaves were measured under controlled environment conditions,
using pairs of maize, barley or rice genotypes with differing resistance to
water stress under field conditions. Water potentials of -0.4 MPa for 24 h,
similarly reduced leaf growth, comparative production rates of leaf
epidermal cells and cell size in all genotypes. These reductions did not
appear to be caused by reductions in the osmotic potential gradients
between the expanding leaf cells and their external water source. However,
growth inhibition in maize and barley, was accompanied by significant
reductions in comparative leaf and cell wall extensibility. Moreover,
regression plots revealed good linear correlations (r=0.83** for maize and
r=0.77** for barley) between the reductions in leaf growth induced by a
series of water potentials and associated reductions in leaf extensibility.
In contrast, the reduction in growth of rice leaves, was not accompanied by
any significant changes in leaf or cell wall extensibility. Similarly,
regression plots revealed poor correlations between leaf growth and leaf
extensibility in both paddy and upland rice (r=0.17 and r=0.07,
respectively). Thus, despite numerous inter-species similarities,
biophysical changes associated with stress-induced leaf growth inhibition
in maize and barley, differed from those in rice.Key

The graviresponse of the leaf-sheath pulvinus of oat (Avena sativa) involves an asymmetric growth response accompanied by several asymmetric processes, including degradation of starch and cell wall synthesis. To understand further the cellular and biochemical events associated with the graviresponse, changes in cell walls and their constituents and the activities of related enzymes were investigated in excised pulvini. Asymmetric increases in dry weight with relatively symmetric increases in wall weight accompanied the graviresponse. Starch degradation could not account for increases in wall weight. However, a strong asymmetry in invertase activity indicated that hydrolysis of exogenous sucrose could contribute significantly to the increases in wall and dry weights. Most cell wall components increased proportionately during the graviresponse. However, beta-D-glucan did not increase symmetrically, but rather increased in proportion in lower halves of gravistimulated pulvini. This change resulted from an increase in glucan synthase activity in lower halves. The asymmetry of beta-D-glucan content arose too slowly to account for initiation of the graviresponse. A similar pattern in change in wall extensibility was also observed. Since beta-D-glucan was the only wall component to change, it is hypothesized that this change is the basis for the change in wall extensibility. Since wall extensibility changed too slowly to account for growth initiation, it is postulated that asymmetric changes in osmotic solutes act as the driving factor for growth promotion in the graviresponse, while wall extensibility acts as a limiting factor during growth. 相似文献

The effects of auxin and osmotic stress on elongation growth of maize (Zea mays L.) coleoptile segments are accompanied by characteristic changes in the extensibility of the growth-limiting cell walls. At full turgor auxin causes growth by an increase in wall extensibility (wall looseining). Growth can be stopped by an osmotically produced step-down in turgor of 0.45 MPa. Under these conditions auxin causes the accumulation of a potential for future wall extension which is released after restoration of full turgor. Turgor reduction causes a reversible decrease in wall extensibility (wall stiffening) both in the presence and absence of auxin. These changes in vivo are correlated with corresponding changes in the rheological properties of the cell walls in vitro which can be traced back to specific modifications in the shape of the hysteretic stress-strain relationship. The longitudinally load-bearing walls of the coleoptile demonstrate almost perfect viscoelasticity as documented by a nearly closed hysteresis loop. Auxin-mediated wall loosening causes an increase of loop width and thus affects primarily the amount of hysteresis in the isolated wall. In contrast, turgor reduction by osmotic stress reduces loop length and thus affects primarily the amount of viscoelastic wall extensibility. Pretreatment of segments with anoxia and H2O2 modify the hysteresis loop in agreement with the conclusion that the wall-stiffening reaction visualized under osmotic stress in vivo is an O2-dependent process in which O2 can be substituted by H2O2. Cycloheximide specifically inhibits auxin-mediated wall loosening without affecting wall stiffening, and this is mirrored in specific changes of the hysteresis loop. Corroborating a previous in vivo study (Hohl et al. 1995, Physiol. Plant. 94: 491–498) these results show that cell wall stiffening in vivo can also be demonstrated by Theological measurements with the isolated cell wall and that this process can be separated from cell wall loosening by specific changes in the shape of the hysteresis loop. 相似文献

The effects of root hypoxia on leaf growth of a Populus trichocarpa? deltoides hybrid have been assessed. Clonal plants were subjectedto hypoxic root conditions in pot culture by flooding and insolution culture by gassing with nitrogen. The rate of leafexpansion declined within 8 h and was suppressed for the durationof the treatment. Final leaf size was reduced by 35% to 60%compared to aerated plants. Final epidermal cell size and numberdepended both on the developmental stage of the leaf at theonset of stress and on the duration of the treatment. No differencesin bulk leaf water potential were measured between the hypoxicand aerated plants. Cell wall extensibility was lower, leafsolute potential was more negative and turgor potential washigher in leaves of hypoxia-treated plants than of aerated plants.These data suggest that leaf growth of hypoxia-stressed plantsis limited by cell wall extensibility. The mechanism by whichthe root stress induces changes in leaf cell wall characteristicsis not known. Key words: Populus, flooding 相似文献

Differential effects of aluminium on osmotic potential and sugar accumulation in the root cells of Al-resistant and Al-sensitive wheat 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The changes in osmotic potential and the concentration of osmotic solutes in the cell sap of the root tips exposed to Al were examined in two cultivars of wheat ( Triticum aestivum ) differing in Al resistance. Root elongation was less influenced by an 8-h exposure to 20 μ M or 50 μ M Al in Al-resistant cv. Atlas 66 than in Al-sensitive cv. Scout 66. After Al treatment the osmotic potential of the root cells was decreased in Atlas 66 but increased in Scout 66 indicating that the Al treatment osmotically stimulated the driving force for water uptake in Atlas 66 but suppressed it in Scout 66. Al increased the concentration of soluble sugars, the major osmotic solute in the root cells in Atlas 66, but decreased it in Scout 66. Al at both low (5 μ M ) and high (50 μ M ) concentrations, also increased the concentration of soluble sugars in the Al-resistant genotype ET8 but a high Al concentration decreased it in Al-sensitive genotype ES8. Enzymatic analyses and thin-layer chromatography revealed that soluble sugars in the root cells of both Atlas 66 and Scout 66 mainly consisted of monosaccharides such as glucose, fructose and a small amount of sucrose. These results suggest that the accumulation of soluble sugars in Al-resistant wheat Atlas 66 keeps the osmotic potential in the root cells low and thus, enables the root cells to take up water and to elongate against the pressure produced by cell wall rigidification under Al stress. 相似文献
