两种苹果砧木根系水力结构及其PV曲线水分参数对干旱胁迫的响应

研究干旱胁迫对平邑甜茶(Malus hupehensis)和楸子(Malus prunifolia)根系水力结构及其PV曲线水分参数的影响.设定正常与干旱2种水分处理,对2种苹果砧木进行氯化汞-巯基乙醇处理和压力室-容积(PV)曲线测定试验,并利用高压流速仪(HPFM),测定平邑甜茶和楸子根系水力结构.结果表明:随着水分胁迫的加重,平邑甜茶和楸子的根系导水率、根系叶比导水率、根系茎比导水率出现减少趋势.在适宜水分和重度干旱条件下,平邑甜茶根系叶比导水率分别为楸子根系叶比导水率的95％和92％,平邑甜茶根系茎比导水率分别为楸子根系茎比导水率的52％和62％,楸子与平邑甜茶相比在根系茎比导水率和根系叶比导水率上出现增加趋势.干旱胁迫可能会导致水通道蛋白的活性受到抑制,致使其根系导水率出现降低,继而导致了地上部分气体交换受到影响.严重干旱时,楸子与平邑甜茶相比可能具有更大的水孔蛋白表达量来抵御干旱胁迫.在2种水分条件下,楸子的初始质壁分离时的渗透势(ψstlp)、饱和含水时的渗透势(Ψssal)、初始质壁分离时的相对水含量(RWCtlp)、初始质壁分离时的相对渗透水含量(ROWCtlp)、组织细胞总体弹性模量(ε')值与平邑甜茶相比较均处于较低水平,束缚水含量(Va)值处在较高水平.对PV曲线水分参数进行隶属函数综合评价得出的△值为楸子大于平邑甜茶,平邑甜茶和楸子之间b值差异不明显.在适宜水分和重度干旱条件下楸子所体现出的输水策略优于平邑甜茶.PV曲线水分参数同苹果砧木根系的水力结构一样能够随着植物所处的环境做出相应的调整.对于PV曲线水分参数研究发现,楸子在膨压保持方面与平邑甜茶相比,其抗旱性优于平邑甜茶.

MEASUREMENTS OF RATES OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS IN RAT BRAIN SLICES

The use of tracer concentrations of labelled amino acids to measure incorporation in incubated slices of brain results in wide fluctuations with time in the specific activity of the precursor. Using concentrations of about 1 mm of labelled amino acid facilitates the accurate measurement of rates of synthesis. These higher precursor levels in the medium decrease the fluctuations in free amino acid specific activity due to dilution by endogenous amino acid and the production of amino acid by protein degradation, and decrease the lag in incorporation due to transport phenomena. Concentrations of 1 mm amino acid in the medium did not inhibit protein synthesis; with valine, leucine, phenylalanine, lysine and histidine, incorporation rates were similar when measured at trace concentrations and at 1 mm medium levels. The source of amino acid for protein synthesis appears to be intracellular. No evidence could be found for the preferential use of extracellular medium amino acid. The rate of incorporation of amino acids in incubated slices of rat brain was 0.087 per cent of the protein amino acid/h.

THE ROLE OF BACTERIAL SYMBIONTS IN AMINO ACID COMPOSITION OF BLACK BEAN APHIDS

To evaluate the role of bacterial symbionts (Buchnera spp.) in the black bean aphids (Aphis craccivora Koch), the aphids were treated with the antibiotic, rifampicin, to eliminate their intracellular symbiotic bacteria. Analysis of protein and amino acid concentration in 7‐day‐old of aposymbiotic aphids showed that the total protein content per mg fresh weight was significantly reduced by 29%, but free amino acid titers were increased by 17%. The ratio of the essential amino acids was in general only around 20% essential amino acids in phloem sap of broad bean, whereas it was 44% and 37% in symbiotic and aposymbiotic aphids, respectively, suggesting that the composition of the free amino acids was unbalanced. For example, the essential amino acid, threonine represented 21.6% of essential amino acids in symbiotic aphids, but it was only 16.7% in aposymbiotic aphids. Likewise, two nonessential amino acids, tyrosine and serine, represented 8.9% and 5.6% of total amino acids in symbiontic aphids, respectively, but they enhanced to 21.1% and 13.6% in aposymbiotic aphids. It seems likely that the elevated free amino acid concentration in aposymbiotic aphids was caused by the limited protein anabolism as the result of the unbalanced amino acid composition.     

THE EFFECT OF HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF HISTIDINE ON THE LEVEL OF OTHER AMINO ACIDS IN PLASMA AND BRAIN OF THE MATURE RAT

—Changes in plasma and brain amino acids have been observed in adult rats 1 h after intraperitoneal injections of histidine and in others maintained on high histidine diets for 8 days. In the injection studies the compounds most consistently affected were the aromatic and branched chain amino acids and methionine. Reductions in their concentrations in the brain were explained by a competition with histidine for uptake into the tissue. There was little change in plasma amino acid levels. In the animals fed the highest concentration of histidine there was a generalized increase in brain, and a reduction in plasma, amino acid concentrations. A decrease in protein synthesis is postulated to explain this effect in brain.

TRANSAMINATION OF AMINO ACIDS IN HOMOGENATES OF RAT BRAIN

Abstract— The aminotransferase activity of homogenates of brains from adult and neonatal rats has been investigated. Aminotransferase activity was demonstrated wtih 15 of 22 amino acids incubated with seven keto acids. The basic amino acids exhibited little or no activity.

• 1 The greatest activity was obtained when glutamate or aspartate was incubated with α-ketoglutarate or oxaloacetate. Significant activity was also observed when the neutral aliphatic and aromatic amino acids were incubated with these two keto acids.
• 2 Activity with pyruvate was obtained principally upon incubation with glutamate and alanine. Most of the other amino acids that underwent transamination with α-ketoglutarate also did so with pyruvate, although at a lower rate.
• 3 When phenylpyruvate was added to the medium, glutamate, phenylalanine and tyrosine transaminated most actively.
• 4 Incubations with 11 amino acids and glyoxylic acid demonstrated aminotransferase activity, with glutamate and ornithine being the most active substrates.
• 5 α-Ketoisocaproate and α-ketoisovalerate accepted amino groups primarily from the branched-chain amino acids. Except for glutamate, activity with other amino acids was low or not detectable.
• 6 A comparison of aminotransferase activity in the newborn brain with that in the adult brain showed that the greatest change in activity occurred for glutamate with pyruvate or for alanine with α-ketoglutarate, these activities increasing about 10-fold from birth to adulthood; during this time activities with most other amino acids increased two- to threefold. Amino transfers from the branched-chain amino acids showed no increase with maturation, and some reactions, such as that with methionine and a number of keto acids, decreased from birth to adulthood.
• 7 Our results correspond in general to previous studies of aminotransferase activity in brain and in liver. However, our study also indicates a possible second aminotransferase acting on the branched-chain amino acids, the presence of aminotransferase activity for methionine and asparagine, and relatively high aminotransferase activity for glutamine or ornithine when incubated with glyoxylic acid rather than other keto acids. Moreover, phenylpyruvate and glyoxylate are active in amino transfers and may serve as substrates for a number of aminotransferases.

     

THE EFFECTS OF AMINO ACIDS UPON THE DEVELOPMENT OF EXCISED FLORAL BUDS OF AQUILEGIA

Young excised floral buds of Aquilegia were grown on a chemically defined medium containing various concentrations of single amino acids or mixtures of amino acids. γ-Amino butyric acid significantly promoted floral development through the initiation and differentiation of carpels. These floral organs were generally absent on the basal medium. Alanine, glutamic acid, and aspartic acid had no effect upon floral development. All other amino acids were either ineffective at lower concentrations and inhibitory at higher concentrations or were inhibitory at all concentrations. Casein hydrolysate and a mixture of amino acids found in coconut milk were ineffective. The addition of both γ-amino butyric acid and alanine to the basal medium promoted development approaching that achieved on the coconut-milk medium. However, further growth factors appear to be required before development on coconut-milk medium is equalled or exceeded.     

AN EXAMINATION OF THE CATALYTIC PROPERTIES OF SEVERAL AMINOTRANSFERASES IN BRAIN AND LIVER BY MEANS OF AN IMPROVED RADIOMETRIC ASSAY WITH DINITROPHENYLHYDRAZINE

Abstract— The assay of aminotransferases, performed by solvent extraction of keto acids formed from labelled amino acids, has been modified to enhance the recovery of both aliphatic and aromatic keto acid products. The keto acids are first converted to their respective dinitrophenylhydrazones which are more completely extracted into less polar organic solvents. By this manoeuvre, both keto acid extraction is increased and the extraction of the precursor amino acid is reduced. Employing this technique, the kinetics of brain-stem γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), tryptophan, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) aminotransferases and brain-stem and liver tyrosine aminotransferases were examined. Brain-stem aminotransferases, particularly the aromatic amino acid transferases, have a higher affinity for both the amino acid and the keto acid when the aromatic keto acid, phenylpyruvate (0·8 mM), is employed as amino group acceptor, whereas maximal velocities for aminotransferase reactions are much greater when α-ketoglutarate (0·8 m m ) is the amino group acceptor. Brain-stem tyrosine aminotransferase exhibits a much lower affinity for tyrosine in the presence of either 0·8m m -α-ketoglutarate or 0·8 m m -phenylpyruvate than does liver tyrosine aminotransferase. p -Chlorophenylpyruvate and phenylpyruvate exhibit similar properties as amino group acceptors for brain-stem tryptophan aminotransferase. Cysteine inhibits tryptophan aminotransferase when phenylpyruvate is the amino group acceptor, in a manner which is competitive with the amino acid. Benzoylformate inhibits both tryptophan and DOPA aminotransferases when phenylpyruvate is the amino group acceptor, but this inhibition does not appear to be competitive with phenylpyruvate.     

BIOSYNTHESIS OF FREE AMINO ACIDS IN THE BRAIN OF JIMPY MICE

—The metabolism of free amino acids: γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glutamine, glycine and glutathione has been studied. The labelling of these free amino acids in normal and in myelin-deficient brains of Jimpy mice was followed after intraperitoneal injection of ¹⁴C-labelled glucose precursor. The quantitative distribution of these amino acids in the two kinds of mouse brain has been compared. A higher level of GABA and a faster labelling of the amino acids in Jimpy than in normal mouse brain was observed.
