The waxy (wx) locus, which controls the amylose synthesis, isknown to be expressed specifically in the endosperm and pollen.To study the tissue-specific regulation of the wx+ gene, weintroduced a fusion gene that consisted of the upstream sequenceof the wx+ gene and the gene for rß-glucuronidase(GUS) into cells of rice (Oryza sativa L.) and petunia (Petuniahybrida L.). GUS activity was examined in the regenerated transgenicrice and petunia plants. In transgenic rice, the upstream sequenceof the wx+ gene was sufficient to direct the tissue-specificexpression of GUS in the endosperm and pollen, and the controlof expression was quantitative. By contrast, in transgenic petunia,the same fusion gene was expressed in pollen but not in theendosperm. These results suggest that the putative cis-actingelements that direct pollen-specific expression are common toor similar in both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants,whereas ciy-elements responsible for the endosperm-specificexpression of the rice wx+ gene do not function in petunia,in which development of the endosperm differs from that in rice.

Seedlings from Euphorbia canariensis and Euphorbia lambii weregrown in the dark at 25 °C. Protein and triglyceride contentas well as levels of sugars and amino acids in the endospermwere determined during endosperm depletion. In the endospermof Euphorbia canariensis, relatively low levels of amino acids(up to 1 µmol.endosperm1) were found of which glutamine/glutamateaccounted for 40% at the stage of radicle emergence. High levelsof amino acids (up to 4 µmol.endosperm1) comparedwith sugars (up to 2 µmol sucrose.endosperm1) weredetected in the endosperm of Euphorbia lambii. Arginine wasthe main component (28 µmol%) of the amino acids in thistissue. In both species amino acid composition changed graduallyduring endosperm depletion. Cotyledons retained their ability to absorb a variety of watersoluble substrates after removal of the endosperm. 14C from[U-14C]sucrose was effectively incorporated into the triterpenesof the laticifers and to a lesser extent into the sterols ofthe seedling. The highest incorporation values were found inyoung seedlings about 2 d after the emergence of the radicle.Seedlings of this age also showed high incorporation rates of14C from labelled alanine, serine, threonine, valine, leucineand isoleucine into both triterpenols and sterols, but no generalconclusions about metabolic channelling in lipid synthesis couldbe made.

Primary dormancy in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Moneymaker): studies with the sitiens mutant
Intact wild-type tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Moneymaker)seeds do not complete germination to the same percentage orat the same speed as intact ABA-deficient sitiens (sitw) mutantseeds when seeds of both genotypes are imbibed on polyethyleneglycol (PEG) solutions of 0.3 to 1.5 MPa osmoticpotential. However, if the thicker testas of wild-type seedsare removed (stripped) from the micropyle without damaging theendosperm, both the percentage and speed of germination at lowexternal water potential are similar to that of sitw mutantseeds. Removing the micropylar end of the testa from sitw seedsdid not enhance either the speed or percentage of germinationon PEG solution. Despite similar germination percentage and speed between strippedwild-type seeds and either stripped or intact sitw seeds underosmotic stress, some differences in seed metabolism are evidentbetween genotypes. The activity of endo-ß-mannanasewas greater in the endosperm of sitw mutant seeds compared tothe endosperm of wild-type seeds when seeds were exposed toosmotic stress. Although 相似文献

Cellular behaviour was examined during embryogenesis in Brassicanapus to test whether or not polyploidy occurs in the cotyledonsduring the phase of oil deposition. Nuclear DNA content, nuclearand cell size, and the mitotic index were measured in the cotyledonson various days post anthesis (dpa). In squashed monolayersfrom 15 dpa cotyledons, a polyploid (>5C) population wasdetected together with a substantial number of cells in G2 (4C).Nuclear volume was measured on sectioned tissues and, at 15dpa, the range of values from the cotyledons (40500 *m3)contrasted with that in the vestigial suspensor and endosperm(50> 600 µm3). At 15 dpa the nuclear volumedata suggest that whilst cells in the cotyledons were in Gland G2 many endosperm and suspensor cells were polyploid. Thus,polyploidy observed in the squashed monolayers was probablydue to contaminating endosperm/suspensor cells. At 25 and 35dpa, polyploidy was not detected; all cells were in Gl (2C)and cell area increased. The mitotic index peaked at 20 dpabefore declining and given the narrower distribution of nuclearvolumes at 25 and 35 dpa (50300 µm3), these dataare consistent with cell arrest in Gl. Thus, polyploidy wasnot detected in the cotyledons of B. napus which differs fromwhat is known about cellular development in legume cotyledons. Key words: Brassica napus L., DNA, nuclear volume 相似文献

Viable protoplasts were isolated for the first time from maturecarob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) endosperm tissue. After 5 d ofincubation 75% of the protoplasts were viable. During incubationthey underwent vacuolation and produced the carob endospermhydrolases, agalactosidase and endo-ß-mannanase, whichwere secreted in the incubation medium. The secretion of bothenzymes were under Ca2+ control. Many characteristics of -galactosidaseand endo-ß-mannanase production by protoplasts werethe same as those of whole endosperms: their production didnot require any hormonal signal and was inhibited in the presenceof ABA or the leachate from the carob endosperm/seed coat. Moderatewater stress (2.0 MPa) neither affected the activityof these hydrolases nor their secretion by endosperm protoplast.However, when the osmoticum of protoplast incubation mediumwas higher, the production and secretion of both hydrolaseswere reduced. Comparison of the hydrolases activities in theincubation media of leached carob endosperms, which were incubatedunder normal and water stress (1.5 MPa) conditions, withthe activities of the protoplast-secreted hydrolases indicatedthat (i) carob endosperm cell wall acts as a barrier for thesecreted enzymes and (ii) that water stress reduces the cellwall porosity of the carob endosperm cells, and thus the releaseof the secreted -galactosidase and endo-ß-mannanaseis inhibited. The isolation of carob endosperm protoplasts offersa potent experimental system for the study of aspects of endospermcell physiology, such as enzyme secretion Key words: Abscisic acid, carob endosperm, Ceratonia siliqua L, endo-ß-mannanase, -galactosidase, leachate, protoplasts, water stress 相似文献

Effects of Growth Regulators and Glutamine on In Vitro Development of Zygotic Embryos of Taro (Colocasia esculenta var. antiquorum) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Zygotic embryos of taro, Colocasia esculenta var. antiquorumcultured on Linsmaier-Skoog (LS) medium without the additionof hormones develop into mature plants only in the presenceof endosperm tissue. Growth is usually evident within the firstweek of culture when embryos swell and become green. Embryosexcised from endosperm and cultured on LS containing 0-01 mg11 naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), and 001 mg 116-dimethylaminopurine (6-DMAP) grow at a rate comparable withcontrols for the first week of culture. During the second week,growth rates are higher than controls primarily because embryosform elongated hypocotyl regions which often produce swollentissues and/or callus. In the presence of 200 mg 11 glutamineand a range of concentrations of 6-dimethylaminopurine, benzyladenine,or NAA, elongation of the hypocotyl axis is inhibited, and acompact callus may develop. Embryos grown on LS containing 200mg 11 glutamine and 2.0 mg 11 2, 4, 5-trichlorophenoxyaceticacid form friable callus which was used to generate short-livedsuspension cultures.

Seg8 is one of eight barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) mutants whoseendosperm development is affected by the maternal plant genotype.This study was initiated to determine the nature and onset ofabnormal development to provide a basis for further studiesaimed at understanding the mechanism of genetic control. Seeddevelopment and synthesis and accumulation of reserve substanceswere compared between seg8 and its normal counterpart, cv. Klages.Light microscopic examination showed that the mutant phenotypeappeared as early as 4 d after anthesis (DAA), and seg8 graindry weight was significantly lower than cv. Klages by 8 DAA.Grain cell number was significantly lower in seg8 by 8 DAA,indicating an early termination of cell division. The mutanthad a lower starch concentration and higher sucrose concentration,also evident at 8 DAA. Rates of [14C]sucrose incorporation intostarch in excised half seeds were similar in both genotypesat 2 and 4 DAA, but at 8 and 12 DAA seg8 had a lower rate. Totalprotein concentration was not significantly different betweenthe two genotypes throughout endosperm development. These resultsindicate that the mutation affects cell division and starchaccumulation prior to 8 DAA. It is not known if the reductionin starch biosynthesis and accumulation results from a reducedcapacity for starch or a defect in starch biosynthesis.

Import of sucrose and its transformation to galactomannan andraffinose-oligosaccharides have been studied in the developingguar seed. The amount of galactomannan gradually increased withthe ageing of the seed. During the entire period of pod development,sucrose constituted the major portion of the free sugars inthe seed (both endosperm and cotyledons) as well as in the podwall. Besides myo-inositol, the free sugars detected in thedeveloping endosperm and cotyledons were glucose, fructose,raffinose and stachyose. Some compounds, possibly glycosides(RG values higher than that of fructose), were also detectedin the endosperm. In the later stages of seed development, therelative proportion of raffinose in the free sugars increased,reaching 50% of the total free sugars in 77-d-old cotyledons.With pod maturity, the activities of soluble acid and boundacid invertases in the pod wall increased manifold with a concomitantdecline in the non-reducing sugar content. These enzymes seemto be involved in the mobilization of sucrose from this fruitingstructure into the seed. An increased synthesis of raffinose-oligosaccharidesboth in the endosperm and cotyledons was associated with highactivities of soluble acid invertase (pH 4.8) and sucrose-UDPglucosyl transferase in these tissues. Feeding uniformly labelled14C-sugars to the detached intact pods as well as to the isolatedendosperm and cotyledons resulted in labelling of all endogenousfree sugars and galactomannan. The uptake and incorporationinto galactomannan of 14C was stimulated by Co2+, Mn2+ and Mg2+.Except for mannose, a major proportion of the 14C from glucose,fructose and sucrose appeared in sucrose in both endosperm andcotyledons indicating a fast reconstitution of sucrose in situ.Based on the present results, a possible mode of transformationof sucrose to galactomannan and raffinose-oligosaccharides hasbeen proposed.

Mobilization of Endosperm Reserves and Uptake of Sucrose and Valine by the Cotyledons of Euphorbia lathyris L. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Upon germination, the endosperm triacylglycerols and proteinswere converted to sucrose and amino acids. During early postgerminativegrowth, the rate of sucrose and amino acid production exceededthe rate of uptake by the cotyledons. As a result, the levelsof total amino acid and sucrose in the endosperm increased;maximum levels were reached at 7 d and 10 d after imbibition(DAI), respectively. Intact seedlings were used to measure thedevelopment of valine, arginine, glutamic acid, and sucroseuptake rate throughout the course of endosperm depletion. Maximumamino acid uptake rates were measured at around 9 DAI, the highestuptake rate for sucrose was obtained at 12 DAI (just beforedepletion of the endosperm). The daily increase of sucrose andamino acid uptake could be manipulated, by replacing the endospermwith a pre-incubation solution during 1 d. The increase in sucroseuptake in vitro was equal to that measured with intact seedlingswhen the cotyledons were pre-incubated in 10 mol m3 sucrose.Higher sucrose concentrations reduced the increase of sucroseuptake; at 300 mol m3 sucrose (corresponding to the meanendosperm sucrose concentration) sucrose uptake after pre-incubationwas even lower than before. This reduction was largely counteractedwhen the pre-incubation solution was supplemented with minerals.The development of the valine uptake was hardly affected bysucrose, but was inhibited by several amino acids.

Excised castor bean endosperm halves incubated with CDP-[Me-14C]cholineactively incorporated this compound into membrane phosphatidylcholine.The capacity of the tissue to synthesize phosphatidyl-[14C]cholineincreased during the first 3 d of germination and subsequentlydeclined. At the onset of germination phosphatidyl-[l4C]cholinewas exclusively recovered in the ER membrane fraction. The rateof incorporation into the ER membranes increased strikinglyduring the first 24 h of germination while that into mitochondriaand glyoxysomes remained low. At later developmental stagesan increasing proportion of the newly synthesized phosphatidyl-[14C]cholinewas present in mitochondria and glyoxysomes; the rate of incorporationinto the membranes of these organelles increased while thatinto the ER membrane began to level off. The kinetics of CDP-[14C]cholineincorporation into membrane phosphatidylcholine of the majororganelle fractions of 3-d-old endosperm tissue showed thatthe ER was immediately labelled, whereas a lag period precededthe labelling of mitochondria and glyoxysomes. Assuming that the incorporation of CDP-[14C]choline into phosphatidylcholineserves as a reliable indicator of membrane synthesis, the resultsobtained suggest that a proliferation of ER membranes precedesthe formation of glyoxysomes and mitochondria in germinatingcastor bean endosperm. A comparison of developmental changesin (a) total ER and glyoxysomal phospholipid content and (b)ER and mitochondrial NADH cytochrome c reductase activity providedadditional evidence supporting this conclusion. 相似文献

N6-Benzyladenine (BA) was applied to intact bean (Phaseolusvulgaris L.) primary leaves at 2 and 6 days after imbibition,when they were in the cell division and post-cell division stages,respectively. BA treatment at day 2 temporarily inhibited an increase in chlorophyllcontent in the following day, but stimulated it in later days.No such inhibition by BA was observed for changes with timein DNA, RNA, and protein content and f. wt. On the other hand,BA treatment at day 6 enhanced RNA and protein content, withoutsignificant influence on DNA and chlorophyll content and f.wt. The mode of cytokinin action on greening in leaves during cell-divisiongrowth seems to be different from that in etiolated cotyledons.

Two-node explants from Sweet Orange cv. St Ives Valencia orangeshoots produced prolific callus and formed secondary abscissionzones within internodes when cultured in vitro with abscisicacid (ABA, 5 µM) or -naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA, 5 µM).Benzyladenine (BA, 1 µm) induced callus but had littleeffect on abscission. Secondary abscission zone formation wasassociated with ABA-induced and auxin-induced ethylene formation.Treatment of explants with inhibitors of ethylene synthesis[aminoethoxyvinyl glycine (AVG), Co2+, PO43] preventedformation of secondary abscission zones but had variable effectson callus formation. Newly made explants contained high concentrationsof endogenous ABA (up to 6000 ng g1 f.wt), as measuredby GC/MS/SIM. Long-term subculture of explants (two years) inmedia containing BA (1 µm) led to a reduction in endogenousABA level (40 ng g1 f. wt) and to loss of capacity toform extensive callus and secondary abscission zones.

Using X-ray photography and flow cytometry, the internal morphologyand DNA replication activity of wild type (wt), GA- (gib-1 )and ABA-deficient (sitw ) tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.cv. Moneymaker) mutant seeds were studied. During seed formation,from 30 to 45 d after pollination (DAP) the endosperm becomessolid and the seed starts to gain desiccation tolerance. Atthis time significant changes occur in the amounts of DNA inradicle tip cells. At 30 DAP, radicle tip cells of the threegenotypes manifest about 60% of 2C, 30% of 4C and 10% of 8Camounts of DNA. Upon maturation (45 DAP onwards), most cellsin the seeds of the three genotypes arrest in the G1phase ofthe cell-cycle with 2C amounts of DNA. However, a relativelyhigh proportion of cells with 4C amounts of DNA was detectedin the radicle tip cells ofsitw compared with wild type andgib-1. At the well-matured stage (60 DAP), there were about 2% ofseeds with free space in wild type andgib-1 , and about 13%insitw . At the over-matured stage (75 DAP), even more seedswith free space were found insitw , whereas no increase in theproportion of the seeds with free space was detected in theother two genotypes. In -1.0 MPa PEG-6000 with or without 10µM GA4+7, no germination occurred in well-matured wildtype andgib-1 seeds, whether or not they were dried after harvest.However,sitw seeds were able to germinate both in over-maturefruit and in -1.0 MPa PEG-6000. Priming of dried seeds in -1.0MPa PEG induced a large amount of free space in almost all seedsof the three genotypes, and nuclear DNA synthesis in the radicletip cells of wild type andsitw seeds. However, PEG priming offresh (non-dried) seeds had no effect on the amount of freespace and 2C/4C DNA ratios in wild type orgib-1 seeds, but didinduce free space in about 2025% ofsitw seeds and provoked4C signals insitw seeds. Removal of the endosperm and testaopposite the radicle tip of seeds resulted in root protrusion,the induction of free space and an increase of 4C DNA signalsin the three genotypes. It is concluded that ABA is crucialfor the efficient arrest of tomato embryo radicle tip cellsin G1phase upon maturation, whereas GAs play an important rolein re-initiating 4C DNA levels upon germination.

Cytokinin-binding protein (CBPI) was purified from the watersoluble fraction of tobacco leaves by successive chromatographyon benzyladenine-linked (BA-linked) Sepharose 4B, TSK-Gel G3000SWXL,t-zeatin-linked Sepharose 6B and TSK-Gel G3000SWXL. CBPI wasobtained as a monomer with a molecular weight of 31 kDa. Ithas one cytokinin-binding site, which shows a high affinityfor BA (Kd=1.1x107 M) and other cytokinins. Biologicallyactive cytokinins competed with BA for binding to this protein,while biologically inactive analogues of adenine did not. Inall cases, cytokinin-binding activity was assayed by equilibriumdialysis.

Somatic Embryogenesis and Analysis of Peroxidase in Cultured Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) Cotyledons 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Somatic embryos were induced in lettuce cotyledons culturedon Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium containing either 2 mgl1 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and 0.2 mg l1 naphthaleneaceticacid (NAA) or 0.2 mg l1 BA and 2 mg l1 NAA. Bothcombinations induced a frequency of over 70%. The explants culturedonly in the presence of 2,4-dichlorphenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)did not produce somatic embryos. The development of the embryoidswas studied histologically and by scanning electron microscopy.Peroxidase activity was assayed and the isoenzyme pattern ofcalluses was determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.Callus from an embryogenic line showed a much higher peroxidaseactivity than that from a non-embryogenic line, one extra peroxidaseisozyme band being present and typical of the embryogenic callus.No qualitative differences were detectable between the embryogeniccalluses.

Development of seeds following pollination with irradiated pollenwas studied inActinidia deliciosa(kiwifruit) Hayward.Pollinations were carried out using two different sources ofpollen (Tomuri and Matua) irradiatedwith gamma rays at doses of 700 and 900 Gy. Non-irradiated crosseswere used as controls. Pollen irradiation had little effectonin vitropollen germination. Irradiated pollen affected seedset and seed content, and induced the formation of parthenogeneticembryos. In comparison to the control, the embryo growth ratewas slower and the endosperm contained very low amounts of storageproducts. Seed set was significantly reduced following bothdoses of irradiation. Two types of seeds were observed: (1)seeds with endosperm only; and (2) seeds with both embryo andendosperm. The proportion of seeds containing endosperm onlywas almost ten-fold higher than those containing both embryoand endosperm. Embryo production by gamma-irradiated pollenwas genotype- and dose-dependent. The induction of parthenogenesiswas higher following gamma ray doses of 900 Gy than 700 Gy,which suggests the Hertwig Effect; the best efficiencywas obtained with Tomuri pollen. Ploidy levelof parthenogenetic embryos was evaluated by nuclear size (area)with the use of image analysis. There was a large differencein embryo nuclei size between control and parthenogenetic embryos(mean size 90.8 and 49.1 µm2, respectively). It is concludedthat parthenogenetic embryos represent trihaploids.Copyright1998 Annals of Botany Company. Actinidia deliciosa, kiwifruit, pollen irradiation, induced parthenogenesis. 相似文献
