Elevated levels of N-lauroylethanolamine,an endogenous constituent of desiccated seeds,disrupt normal root development in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings

N-Acylethanolamines (NAEs) are prevalent in desiccated seeds of various plant species, and their levels decline substantially during seed imbibition and germination. Here, seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. were germinated in, and seedlings maintained on, micromolar concentrations of N-lauroylethanolamine (NAE 12:0). NAE 12:0 inhibited root elongation, increased radial swelling of root tips, and reduced root hair numbers in a highly selective and concentration-dependent manner. These effects were reversible when seedlings were transferred to NAE-free medium. Older seedlings (14 days old) acclimated to exogenous NAE by increased formation of lateral roots, and generally, these lateral roots did not exhibit the severe symptoms observed in primary roots. Cells of NAE-treated primary roots were swollen and irregular in shape, and in many cases showed evidence, at the light- and electron-microscope levels, of improper cell wall formation. Microtubule arrangement was disrupted in severely distorted cells close to the root tip, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized green fluorescent protein (mGFP5-ER) was more abundant, aggregated and distributed differently in NAE-treated root cells, suggesting disruption of proper cell division, endomembrane organization and vesicle trafficking. These results suggest that NAE 12:0 likely influences normal cell expansion in roots by interfering with intracellular membrane trafficking to and/or from the cell surface. The rapid metabolism of NAEs during seed imbibition/germination may be a mechanism to remove this endogenous class of lipid mediators to allow for synchronized membrane reorganization associated with cell expansion.

Blue light-induced acidification of the medium of a nitrate-starved Chlorella mutant

Sunflower ( Helianthus annuus L.) seedlings were grown in aeroponic chambers which allowed for easy access to and easy harvesting of undamaged roots. In different portions of these roots we followed the rate of ethylene production, levels of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), N-malonyl-ACC and ACC oxidase mRNA and activity of ACC oxidase. ACC oxidase was measured with an in vitro assay, ACC and N-malonyl-ACC by selected ion monitoring gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Ethylene production was highest in the tip of the root and tower in the middle and basal (part nearest the hypocotyl) portions of the root. The levels of ACC and ACC oxidase mRNA mirrored the levels of ethylene production. The lowest quantities of N-malonyl-ACC were found in the root tips. Upon gentle transfer of seedlings from an aeroponic system to treatment tubes, ACC content transiently increased; the greatest increase occurred in the tips. This brief rise in ACC content was not correlated with an increase in ethylene production. ACC oxidase activity was lowest in the tip and higher in the middle and base; the opposite of the pattern of ethylene production. Treating the seedlings with ACC produced a rapid rise in ACC content and ethylene production and inhibited root elongation. ACC oxidase activity was not induced by ACC treatment.

Subcellular localization of beta-glucosidase in rye, maize and wheat seedlings

The subcellular compartmentation of β -glucosidase was studied in rye, maize and wheat seedlings by immunocytochemical methods. For detection, we used a 10 nm gold-labeled secondary antibody, and results were observed using transmission electron microscopy. In all three species, β -glucosidase was found in plastids, cytoplasm and cell walls. In rye, gold particles were seen on cell walls and cytoplasm in epidermal cells of the root tip and shoot, in bundle sheath cells of the shoot and in all cells, except the vascular bundle cells of the coleoptile. Gold labeling was also observed in plastids of the bundle sheath cells of rye shoot tips and in cortical cells of root tips. In wheat, gold labeling was observed on cell walls and cytoplasm of epidermal cells in the shoot base and coleoptile, and on cell walls and plastids in epidermal cells of the root tip. In maize, gold labeling was mainly found in plastids or proplastids in vascular bundle cells and bundle sheath cells of the shoot, in bundle sheath cells of the coleoptile and in epidermal cells of the root. Some gold particles were also found in cell walls and cytoplasm of stomatal guard cells of the shoot base and vascular bundle cells of the shoot tip and in the cell walls of bundle sheath cells of the shoot tip and root tip epidermal cells. Results are discussed in relation to the role of β -glucosidase in hydroxamic acid release and overall defense mechanism of monocotyledons.     

Gibberellin-ethylene interaction controls radial expansion in citrus roots

The involvement of gibberellins (GAs) and ethylene in the process of root radial expansion was studied in young seedlings of Carrizo citrange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osb. × Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.]. The GA inhibitors cycocel, paclobutrazol, and tetcyclacis enhanced radial expansion of the root tip (up to 2.3-fold) as a result of increases in stele diameter and inner cortex width. The GA deficiency increased cell number and width, and changed the polarity of growth, generating wider and shorter cortical cells in the elongation zone. In the presence or absence of GA inhibitors, GA₃ decreased root tip width and reduced all parameters related to radial expansion. The ethylene inhibitors (aminooxyacetic acid; cobalt ions, CoCl₂; silver thiosulfate) suppressed swelling induced by GA deficiency, generating thinner cells just as GA₃ did. In contrast to GA₃, ethylene inhibitors produced longer cells strongly resembling those of the untreated seedlings. Ethylene released by ethephon did not modify root tip width in control plants, while root diameter behind the root tip was increased. In the presence of low and ineffective concentrations of cycocel, the ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid increased radial expansion of root tips (1.3-fold) and changed the polarity of growth, producing wider and shorter inner cortical cells as GA inhibitors did. These observations imply, first, that ethylene is the hormonal effector of the process of root radial expansion and, second, that the endogenous GAs modulate the promotive response of ethylene.

微重力对石刁柏根尖组织和细胞中钙水平及分布的影响

用焦锑酸钾沉淀法进行了组织和细胞中游离钙的化学定位。用光学显微镜和透射电镜观察石刁柏幼苗在太空飞行后Ｃａ２＋沉淀颗粒在根尖组织和细胞内的分布。结果表明,太空飞行１５天后,Ｃａ２＋在各组织内的分布情况与地面对照无明显差异,但Ｃａ２＋的含量明显低于对照。Ｃａ２＋在细胞内不同区域的分布在飞行和对照样品中差异十分明显,对照细胞中Ｃａ２＋集中在液泡内,其它细胞器中很少见到。飞行幼苗的根尖细胞,液泡中Ｃａ２＋很少,并向液泡膜集结,液泡膜内侧和细胞质中的Ｃａ２＋明显增多。细胞壁中的Ｃａ２＋较对照有明显增加,高尔基体中也有少量钙存在。本文着重讨论了飞行幼苗根尖中Ｃａ２＋在细胞内重新分布的可能作用。     

Photosynthetic pigments content, <Emphasis Type="Italic">δ</Emphasis>-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase and acid phosphatase activities and mineral nutrients concentration in cadmium-exposed <Emphasis Type="Italic">Cucumis sativus</Emphasis> L.

In this study, the effects of cadmium chloride (CdCl₂) on plant growth, histology of roots, photosynthetic pigments content, δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALA-D; E.C. 4.2.1.24) and acid phosphatase activities (AP; E.C. 3.1.3.2), soluble phosphorus (Pi) measurement and mineral nutrients content in cucumber seedlings (Cucumis sativus L.) were investigated. Cucumber seedlings were grown in vitro in an agar-solidified substrate containing four CdCl₂ treatments (0, 100, 400, and 1000 μM) for ten days. Cd was readily absorbed by seedlings and its content was greater in the roots than in the shoot. Cd reduced shoot and root length, and fresh and dry biomass of seedlings. Inhibition of root cell elongation in Cd-treated seedlings was observed by the increase of the mean radial size of cells belonging to three zones of the root tip. The highest level of Cd reduced in a similar manner chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll contents. Increasing concentrations of Cd resulted in a linear decrease in carotenoids levels of cotyledons. Interestingly, the ALA-D activity in cotyledons was inhibited only at the highest level of Cd. Root and shoot AP activities were, respectively, activated and inhibited at all CdCl₂ concentrations. Root Pi concentration was increased in all Cd treatments and it was not altered in the shoot tissues. Moreover, in general, the nutrient contents were increased in the root and decreased in the shoot. Therefore, we suggest that Cd affects negatively growth, photosynthetic pigments, ALA-D and AP activities and partition of mineral nutrients in cucumber seedlings.     

Lateral root formation in pine seedlings

The role of assimilates in lateral root development was studied in Pinus pinea seedlings grown in a nutrient solution. Seedlings were treated with ¹⁴CO₂ for 2 h following removal of the tap root tip at various times prior to the application of ¹⁴CO₂ or removal of a different number of cotyledons at one time. In seedlings with intact root systems most of the radioactivity accumulated in the lower section of the root containing the tap root apex. When the tap root tip was removed, the pattern of radioactivity accumulation along the root was affected by the presence and the stage of lateral root development. Removing the tap root tip of young seedlings (with no lateral roots) resulted in an almost equal distribution of radioactivity along the root. About 50% of the total radioactivity was found in the section showing the highest lateral root growth. Removing the tap root tip of mature seedlings (with lateral roots in the upper section) resulted in an immediate increase in the radioactivity accumulation in the upper section. When lateral roots appeared in the middle section, the pattern of radioactivity distribution was similar to that found in root decapitated young seedlings. Removal of cotyledons of mature seedlings somewhat increased the transport of radioactivity to the lower root section at the expense of the radioactivity in the lateral roots of the upper section. The present study suggests that competition within the root system between the tap root apex and the lateral roots may play an important role in determining the morphology of the root system.     

Effects of Hydrogen Sulfide on Growth,Antioxidative Capacity,and Ultrastructural Changes in Oilseed Rape Seedlings Under Aluminum Toxicity

The present study evaluates the beneficial effects of the hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) donor, sodium hydrosulfide (0 and 0.3 mM), on the growth of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L. cv. ZS 758) seedlings under aluminum (Al) stress (0, 0.1, and 0.3 mM). Results showed that Al stress decreased the seedling growth by reducing the shoot and root length, biomass, and antioxidant enzymes, which could be illustrated by increased levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), production of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), and accumulation of Al in the shoots. Pretreatment with H₂S reduced MDA and H₂O₂ levels in the leaves and roots of B. napus seedlings. Moreover, activities of antioxidant enzymes (APX, CAT, APX, SOD, POD, and GR) were elevated significantly with the application of H₂S under Al stress. The microscopic examination confirmed that higher levels of Al completely impaired leaf mesophyll and root tip cells. Chloroplasts were spongy shaped with dissolved thylakoid membranes and more starch grains. Root tip cells showed visible symptoms under Al toxicity such as deposition of Al in vacuoles and disruption of whole cell organelles. Under pretreatment with exogenous H₂S, cell structures were improved and presented a clean mesophyll cell and chloroplast possessing well-developed thylakoid membranes as well as fewer starch grains. A number of modifications could be observed in root tip cells, that is, mature mitochondria, long endoplasmic reticulum as well as golgi bodies, under the combined application of H₂S and Al. On the basis of our results, we can conclude that H₂S has a promotive effect which could improve plant survival under Al stress.     

Genetic removal of tri-unsaturated fatty acids suppresses developmental and molecular phenotypes of an Arabidopsis tocopherol-deficient mutant. Whole-body mapping of malondialdehyde pools in a complex eukaryote

Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a small, ubiquitous, and potentially toxic aldehyde that is produced in vivo by lipid oxidation and that is able to affect gene expression. Tocopherol deficiency in the vitamin E2 mutant vte2-1 of Arabidopsis thaliana leads to massive lipid oxidation and MDA accumulation shortly after germination. MDA accumulation correlates with a strong visual phenotype (growth reduction, cotyledon bleaching) and aberrant GST1 (glutathione S-transferase 1) expression. We suppressed MDA accumulation in the vte2-1 background by genetically removing tri-unsaturated fatty acids. The resulting quadruple mutant, fad3-2 fad7-2 fad8 vte2-1, did not display the visual phenotype or the aberrant GST1 expression observed in vte2-1. Moreover, cotyledon bleaching in vte2-1 was chemically phenocopied by treatment of wild-type plants with MDA. These data suggest that products of tri-unsaturated fatty acid oxidation underlie the vte2-1 seedling phenotype, including cellular toxicity and gene regulation properties. Generation of the quadruple mutant facilitated the development of an in situ fluorescence assay based on the formation of adducts of MDA with 2-thiobarbituric acid at 37 degrees C. Specificity was verified by measuring pentafluorophenylhydrazine derivatives of MDA and by liquid chromatography analysis of MDA-2-thiobarbituric acid adducts. Potentially applicable to other organisms, this method allowed the localization of MDA pools throughout the body of Arabidopsis and revealed an undiscovered pool of the compound unlikely to be derived from trienoic fatty acids in the vicinity of the root tip quiescent center.     

Coordinated expression of sulfate uptake and components of the sulfate assimilatory pathway in maize

A high-affinity-type sulfate transporter (Group 1: ZmST1;1, Accession No. AF355602) has been cloned from maize seedlings by RT-PCR. Tissue and cell specific localisation of this sulfate transporter has been determined along the developmental gradient of the root and in leaves of different ages. In S-sufficient conditions there was uniform low expression of ZmST1;1 in the root and very low expression in the leaves. Increased mRNA abundance and sulfate influx capacity indicated that S-starvation increased ZmST1;1 expression in roots, especially at the top of the root (just behind the seed, the area possessing most laterals and root hairs) compared to the root tip. Similarly a group 2, probable low affinity-type sulfate transporter, ZmST2;1, and also ATP-sulfurylase and APS-reductase but not OAS(thiol)lyase were induced by S-starvation and showed highest expression in the upper section of the root. S-starvation increased root/shoot ratio by 20 % and increased root lateral length and abundance in the region closest to the root tip. As the increase in root proliferation was not as great as the increase in mRNA pools, it was clear that there was a higher cellular abundance of the mRNAs for sulfate transporters, ATP-sulfurylase, and APS-reductase in response to sulfur starvation. In the leaves, the sulfate transporters, ATP-sulfurylase and APS-reductase were induced by S-starvation with the most mature leaf showing increased mRNA abundance first. In situ hybridization indicated that ZmST1;1 was expressed in epidermal and endodermal cell layers throughout the root whilst OAS(thiol)lyase was highly expressed in the root cortex.     

多胺生物合成抑制剂D-精氨酸对拟南芥幼苗根系生长的影晌

为探讨多胺生物合成抑制剂D-精氨酸（D-arginine,D-Arg）对拟南芥根系生长的影响,首先用腐胺（0．1mmol‘L-1）和D—Arg（1．0mmol·L-1）处理种子萌发后生长2d的拟南芥幼苗。腐胺（0．1mmol·L-1）显著促进主根伸长,D-Arg（1．0mmol-L-1）显著抑制主根伸长,并对主根根尖的细胞形态有明显影响。为了进一步了解D—Arg影响拟南芥主根生长的机理,采用浓度梯度D．Arg处理幼苗根系。实验结果表明,随着D-Arg浓度增加（0．2～1．0mmol·L-1）,拟南芥幼苗主根生长受抑制的程度越严重。微分干涉观察主根根尖发现,外源施加D—Arg,引起拟南芥主根根尖分生区的细胞数目减少,使拟南芥幼苗表现出主根的伸长生长变缓。当分生区数目较少时,出现主根几乎不再仲长的现象。由此推测,多胺生物合成抑制剂D-Arg对拟南芥幼苗根生长的抑制作用机制,是D-Arg影响了其根尖分生区的细胞分裂活动,使分生区细胞数目减少,从而引起分生区长度减小,最终导致拟南芥主根仲长生长受到抑制。     

Physiological and ultra-structural changes in Brassica napus seedlings induced by cadmium stress

The effects of cadmium on physiological and ultrastructural characteristics were evaluated in 6-d-old seedlings of two Brassica napus L. cultivars Zheda 619 and ZS 758. Results show that Cd at lower concentration (100 μM) stimulated the seedling growth but at higher concentration (500 μM) inhibited the growth of both cultivars, decreased content of photosynthetic pigments, activities of antioxidant enzymes, and increased the content of malondialdehyde and reactive oxygen species. Cd content in different parts of seedlings was higher in ZS 758 than in Zheda 619. Electron micrographs illustrated that 500 μM Cd severely damaged the leaf and root tip cells of both cultivars. Under Cd stress, the size and number of starch grains, plastoglobuli, and lipid bodies in the chloroplasts increased. In the root tip cells, enlarged vacuoles, diffused cell walls, and undeveloped mitochondria were detected.     

Changes in hormonal balance and meristematic activity in primary root tips on the slowly rotating clinostat and their effect on the development of the rapeseed root system

The morphometry of the root system, the meristematic activity and the level of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), abscisic acid (ABA) and zeatin in the primary root tips of rapeseed seedlings were analyzed as functions of time on a slowly rotating clinostat (1 rpm) or in the vertical controls (1 rpm). The fresh weight of the root system was 30% higher throughout the growth period (25 days) in clinorotated seedlings. Morphometric analysis showed that the increase in biomass on the clinostat was due to greater primary root growth, earlier initiation and greater elongation of the secondary roots, which could be observed even in 5-day-old seedlings. However, after 15 days, the growth of the primary root slowed on the clinostat, whereas secondary roots still grew faster in clinorotated plants than in the controls. At this time, the secondary roots began to be initiated closer to the root tip on the clinostat than in the control. Analysis of the meristematic activity and determination of the levels in IAA, ABA and zeatin in the primary root tips demonstrated that after 5 days on the clinostat, the increased length of the primary root could be the consequence of higher meristematic activity and coincided with an increase in both IAA and ABA concentrations. After 15 days on the clinostat, a marked increase in IAA, ABA and zeatin, which probably reached supraoptimal levels, seems to cause a progressive disturbance of the meristematic cells, inducing a decrease of primary root growth between 15 and 25 days. These modifications in the hormonal balance and the perturbation of the meristematic activity on the clinostat were followed by a loss of apical dominance, which was responsible for the early initiation of secondary roots, the greater elongation of the root system and the emergence of the lateral roots near the tip of the primary root.

草甘膦和百草枯对毛桃幼苗根系形态及地上部生长的影响

以砧木毛桃幼苗为研究对象,通过土施草甘膦和百草枯研究2种桃园常用除草剂对毛桃营养生长、根系结构、根尖细胞分裂、叶片光合特性等的影响,为除草剂在桃生产中的安全使用提供科学依据。结果表明: 草甘膦处理显著抑制毛桃地上部和根生长,与对照相比,株高降低31.5%,总根系长度、总根表面积、总根体积和总根尖数分别降低了39.5%、39.5%、49.8%和44.6%,而百草枯处理以上指标与对照差异均不显著;草甘膦和百草枯处理后毛桃根尖细胞有丝分裂指数分别降低38.0%和35.9%,且草甘膦处理分裂中期细胞数占分裂细胞总数的比例显著低于对照和百草枯处理;毛桃根尖细胞对2种除草剂响应迅速,从处理第2天开始根尖细胞电解质渗漏率始终显著高于对照。叶片细胞电解质渗漏率则从处理5 d后开始显著升高,且草甘膦处理出现幼叶基部变黄并向叶尖蔓延,同时部分叶尖逐渐焦枯的现象;2种除草剂处理导致毛桃叶片净光合速率、气孔导度、蒸腾速率有不同程度的降低,其中草甘膦处理下降更明显。综上,使用草甘膦和百草枯均会降低毛桃幼苗根尖细胞分裂指数,提高根尖细胞电解质渗透率,总体降低叶片净光合速率。草甘膦对毛桃营养生长、叶片光合作用影响更大,而且会造成幼叶变黄、叶尖焦枯等现象。

为了确定不同初始氮供应水平对产油微藻魏氏真眼点藻(Eustigmatos vischeri)生长、形态和油脂积累的影响, 本研究通过在改良的BG-11培养基中设置4种不同的初始硝酸钠浓度(17.6、11.7、5.9和3.0 mmol/L)对魏氏真眼点藻(E. vischeri)进行培养。观察结果表明, 魏氏真眼点藻(E. vischeri)的营养细胞为一具裂叶状叶绿体、细胞质中有一红色素体和许多振动颗粒及光滑细胞壁的球形单细胞; 细胞繁殖方式主要是形成二分裂和四分裂的似亲孢子。在低氮条件下, 随着培养时间的延长, 细胞内油体逐步形成, 至培养末期占据细胞的大部分空间, 同时培养物的颜色也由绿色向黄绿色转变, 最终呈橙黄色。实验结果表明, 魏氏真眼点藻(E. vischeri)生物质浓度在17.6 mmol/L组获得最大值为9.14 g/L; 总脂、中性脂和总脂肪酸三者占干重的含量随着初始硝酸钠浓度的降低而升高, 在3.0 mmol/L组获得最高值, 分别为60.81%、56.59%和53.47%; 三者的单位体积产率均在5.9 mmol/L组获得最高值, 分别为0.24、0.21和0.20 g/(Ld); 主要脂肪酸组成为棕榈酸(C16:0)、棕榈油酸(C16:1)、油酸(C18:1)和二十碳五烯酸(C20:53, EPA), 其中棕榈油酸的含量最高。上述研究表明, 魏氏真眼点藻(E. vischeri)是一株适合于生产生物柴油和长链不饱和脂肪酸EPA的高产油微藻。
