水稻温敏型突变体叶片间断失绿的超微结构

在短时降温诱导下,水稻温敏型突变体１１０３ｓ（Ｏｒｙｚａ　ｓａｔｉｖａ　ｓｓｐ．ｉｎｄｉｃａ）植株间断失绿性状表达（临界温度２３．１℃）过程中,叶绿体含量的增减与叶色变化相符。电镜观察发现,性状表达时叶片间断失绿区叶绿体内部结构发生退化,呈现基粒垛叠片层数的异常减少,或基粒消失仅剩基粒残迹,有的甚至整个叶绿体为高电子密度的囊泡状结构。但在同一叶片的绿区,叶绿体仅表现基粒片层数减少、排列不规则,嗜锇小球聚集。在叶片失绿区的复绿过程中,叶绿体的这些变化又可逆转,内部结构重建,最后整个叶绿体结构基本恢复正常。水稻温敏突变体１１０３ｓ叶片间断失绿性状表达过程,实质上是一个由温度调控的叶绿体结构退化与修复的可逆过程。

Chloroplast genome aberration in micropropagation-derived albino <Emphasis Type="Italic">Bambusa edulis</Emphasis> mutants, <Emphasis Type="Italic">ab1</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">ab2</Emphasis>

Two albino mutants (ab1 and ab2) have been derived from long-term shoot proliferation of Bambusa edulis. Based on transmission electronic microscopy data, the chloroplasts of these mutants were abnormal. To study the mutation of gene regulation in the aberrant chloroplasts, we designed 19 pairs of chloroplast-encoded gene primers for genomic and RT-PCR. Only putative NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase chain 4L (ndhE; DQ908943) and ribosomal protein S7 (rps7; DQ908931) were conserved in both the mutant and wild-type plants. The deletions in the chloroplast genome of these two mutants were different: nine genes were deleted in the chloroplast genomic aberration in ab1 and 11 genes in ab2. The chloroplast genes, NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase chain 4 (ndhD; DQ908944), chloroplast 50S ribosomal protein L14 (rpl14; DQ908934), and ATP synthase beta chain (atpB; DQ908948) were abnormal in both mutants. The gene expressions of 18 of these 20 genes were correlated with their DNA copy number. The two exceptions were: ATP synthase CF0 A chain (atpI; DQ908946), whose expression in both mutants was not reduced even though the copy number was reduced; ribosomal protein S19 (rps19; DQ908949), whose expression was reduced or it was not expressed at all even though there was no difference in genomic copy number between the wild-type and mutant plants. The genomic PCR results showed that chloroplast genome aberrations do occur in multiple shoot proliferation, and this phenomenon may be involved in the generation of albino mutants.     

一个新的水稻斑马叶突变(zebraleaf1)对叶绿体发育的影响(简报)

通过γ射线诱变,在水稻粳稻栽培品种9522中得到一个斑马叶突变体zebra leaf 1.为了研究zl1的功能,我们对突变体进行了形态学和细胞学的分析,同时也对此基因突变以后对叶绿体发育和光合作用的影响作了评价.突变体叶片上绿色和枯白色条纹相同,叶绿素含量显著的下降.电镜显示叶绿体类囊体的排列被打乱,变得杂乱无章.这表明zl1突变体在叶绿体发育过程中出现障碍.zl1基因的突变使得净光合速率显著的下降.参与光合作用的一些关键蛋白,比如核酮糖1,5-二磷酸羧化酶/加氧酶(Rubisco)、Rubisco活化酶、Dl蛋白、CF1β亚基的表达量也显著的下调.但是,zl1突变体对外界环境非常敏感,有时会没有表型.     

甜菊组织培养物中叶绿体的超微结构与脱分代

含有叶绿体的甜菊（Ｓｔｅｖｉａｒｅｂａｕｄｉａｎａ）愈伤组织细胞转移至新鲜培养基后,导致光合片层的逐渐减少或消失,最后叶绿体脱分化形成原质体样的结构。超微结构观察表明,光合片层的减少或消失与降解及叶绿体分裂特别是不均等缢缩分裂而致基质组分和类囊体膜稀释有关。这一过程并不完全同步,一些质体含有少量正常的片展而另一些质体含有退化的片层甚至片展结构完全消失。细胞的一个明显特点是细胞器大多聚集在细胞核附近,细胞质增加并向细胞中央伸出细胞质丝。同时可观察到原质体。培养７ｄ后,许多细胞呈分生状态,细胞质富含细胞器,充满了细胞的大部分空间。此时细胞中的质体大多呈原质体状态。在细胞生长的稳定期,质体内膜组织成基质基粒片层,同时质体核糖体增加。文中讨论了高度液泡化细胞脱分化与细胞中叶绿体脱分化的关系。     

Chloroplast ribosome release factor 1 (AtcpRF1) is essential for chloroplast development

To study the functions of nuclear genes involved in chloroplast development, we systematically analyzed albino and pale green Arabidopsis thaliana mutants by use of the Activator/Dissociation (Ac/Ds) transposon tagging system. In this study, we focused on one of these albino mutants, designated apg3-1 (for a lbino or p ale g reen mutant 3). A gene encoding a ribosome release factor 1 (RF1) homologue was disrupted by the insertion of a Ds transposon into the APG3 gene; a T-DNA insertion into the same gene caused a similar phenotype (apg3-2). The APG3 gene (At3g62910) has 15 exons and encodes a protein (422-aa) with a transit peptide that functions in targeting the protein to chloroplasts. The amino acid sequence of APG3 showed 40.6% homology with an RF1 of Escherichia coli, and complementation analysis using the E. coli rf1 mutant revealed that APG3 functions as an RF1 in E. coli, although complementation was not successful in the RF2-deficient (rf2) mutants of E. coli. These results indicate that the APG3 protein is an orthologue of E. coli RF1, and is essential for chloroplast translation machinery; it was accordingly named AtcpRF1. Since the chloroplasts of apg3-1 plants contained few internal thylakoid membranes, and chloroplast proteins related to photosynthesis were not detected by immunoblot analysis, AtcpRF1 is thought to be essential for chloroplast development.

甜菊叶愈伤组织诱导过程中叶绿体的超微结构变化

观察了甜菊(Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni)叶外植体愈伤组织诱导过程中叶绿体的超微结构变化。结果表明,当叶外植体转移到培养基上培养后,叶绿体的片层结构逐渐退化。在叶绿体发生退化的过程中伴有叶绿体出芽和原质体的形成。推测新产生的原质体来自叶绿体产生的芽状体。而叶绿体本身最后完全解体消失。叶绿体超微结构的这种变化与高度液泡化的叶肉细胞脱分化至分生状态是平行的。随着培养的进行,分生状态的细胞发生液泡化变为薄壁细胞时,在愈伤组织表层的细胞中,质体重新形成片层结构,而内部细胞的质体则充满淀粉粒。     

水稻(Oryza sativa L.)核基因组存在叶绿体psbA基因的同源片段

序列比较说明,重复DNA顺序pRRD9与水稻叶绿体基因组中编码QB蛋白的psbA基因存在高度的同源。用pRRD9亚克隆片段pRRD9R和片段pRRD9L对水稻的叶绿体和核DNA进行Southern杂交分析,揭示了psbA基因同源片段在某个进化时期由叶绿体基因组转移到水稻核基因组,而且两者在水稻进化过程中的变异程度存在明显的差异。利用它们对野生稻和栽培稻总DNA的Southern杂交分析,显示亚洲栽培稻与AA基因组型的野生稻有较近的亲缘关系,以及在部分野生稻产生特异的杂交带谱,说明它可以作为一种分子探针来研究水稻的进化问题。     

Rice mitochondrial genome contains a rearranged chloroplast gene cluster

Summary We have previously reported the isolation and partial sequence analysis of a rice mitochondrial DNA fragment (6.9 kb) which contains a transferred copy of a chloroplast gene cluster coding for the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (rbcL), and subunits of ATPase (atpB and atpE), methionine tRNA (trnM) and valine tRNA (trnV). We have now completely sequenced this 6.9 kb fragment and found it to also contain a sequence homologous to the chloroplast gene coding for the ribosomal protein L2 (rpl2), beginning at a site 430 bp downstream from the termination codon of rbcL. In the chloroplast genome, two copies of rpl2 are located at distances of 20 kb and 40 kb, respectively, from rbcL. We have sequenced these two copies of rice chloroplast rpl2 and found their sequences to be identical. In addition, a 151 bp sequence located upstream of the chloroplast rpl2 coding region is also found in the 3 noncoding region of chloroplast rbcL and other as yet undefined locations in the rice chloroplast genome. Hybridization analysis revealed that this 151 bp repeat sequence identified in rice is also present in several copies in 11 other plant species we have examined. Findings from these studies suggest that the translocation of rpl2 to the rbcL gene cluster found in the rice mitochondrial genome might have occurred through homologous recombination between the 151 bp repeat sequence present in both rpl2 and rbcL.

Physiological and structural changes in the chloroplast of the green alga Micrasterias denticulata induced by UV-B simulation

Exposure of postmitotic growing and non-growing cells of the unicellular green alga Micrasterias denticulata to different UV-B cut-off wavelengths together with simulated sunlight in a sun simulator has revealed a marked resistence of the algae against strong irradiation. While down to a cut-off wavelength of 284 nm irradiated during the most sensitive stage of cell development chloroplast ultrastructure remains unaffected, severe changes in arrangement and structure of stroma and grana thylakoids occur only at the lowest cut-off wavelengths of 280 and 275 nm. The structural alterations end up in a more or less complete desintegration of grana and stroma thylakoids with the remaining membraneous structures appearing in negative staining thus indicating drastic changes in membrane composition. Photosynthetic activity determined by chlorophyll fluorescence (ratio of variable to maximal fluorescence) and oxygen evolution responded more sensitively to UV-B irradiation. With decreasing UV cut-off wavelengths and prolonged incubation a decrease of photochemistry of PS II occured reaching its lowest values after 60 min at 275 and 280 nm. Oxygen production was even maintained under strong UV irradiation with a cut-off wavelenght of 275 nm up to 15 min. With prolonged UV-B treatment any activity was lost. HPLC separations of pigments exhibited the appearance of break-down products (mainly derivatives of chl b and chl a) with decreasing cut-off wavelength and increasing exposure time. The xanthophyll cycle pigments seemed to be unaffected at least for an irradiation period of 60 to 90 min at low UV cut-offs. Possible mechanisms of UV stress avoidance or protection are discussed with regard to the varying altitudes of the natural habitats of the algae.     

水稻生殖突变体的外观形态特征研究

Physiological, structural, and immunological characterization of leaf and chloroplast development in cotton

Summary Many of the studies of chloroplast ontogeny in higher plants have utilized suboptimal conditions of light and growth to assess development. In this study, we utilized structural, immunological, and physiological techniques to examine the development of the chloroplast in fieldgrown cotton (Gossypium hirsutum cv. MD 51 ne). Our youngest leaf sample developmentally was completely folded upon itself and about 0.5 cm in length; leaves of this same plastochron were followed for three weeks to the fully expanded leaf. The chloroplasts at the earliest stage monitored had almost all of the lamellae in small, relatively electron-opaque grana, with relatively few thylakoids which were not appressed on at least one surface. During the development of the thylakoids, the membranes increase in complexity, with considerable stroma lamellae development and an increase in the number of thylakoids per granum. Besides the increase in complexity, both the size and numbers of the chloroplast increase during the development of the leaf. Developmental changes in six thylakoid proteins, five stromal proteins, and one peroxisomal protein were monitored by quantitative immunocytochemistry. Even at the earliest stages of development, the plastids are equipped with the proteins required to carry out both light and dark reactions of photosynthesis. Several of the proteins follow three phases of accumulation: a relatively high density at early stages, a linear increase to keep step with chloroplast growth, and a final accumulation in the mature chloroplast. Photosystem-II(PS II)-related proteins are present at their highest densities early in development, with an accumulation of other parts of the photosynthetic apparatus at a latter stage. The early accumulation of PS-II-related proteins correlates with the much lower ratio of chlorophylla tob in the younger leaves and with the changes in fluorescence transients. These data indicate that some of the conclusions on chloroplast development based upon studies of intercalary meristems of monocots or the greening of etiolated plants may not be adequate to explain development of chloroplasts in leaves from apical meristems grown under natural conditions.Abbreviations CF1 chloroplast coupling factor 1 - chl chlorophyll - DAP days after planting - LHC light-harvesting chlorophyll-a/b-binding protein - OEC oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II - PBS phosphate-buffered saline - PS photosystem - RuBisCo ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase     

Rice chloroplast DNA: a physical map and the location of the genes for the large subunit of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase and the 32 KD photosystem II reaction center protein

Summary By homogenizing rice leaves in liquid nitrogen, it was possible to isolate intact chloroplasts and, subsequently, pure rice chloroplast DNA from the purified chloroplasts. The DNA was digested by several restriction enzymes and fragments were fractionated by agarose gel electrophoresis. The sum of the fragment sizes generated by the restriction enzymes showed that the total length of the DNA is 130 kb. A circular physical map of fragments, generated by digestion with SalI, PstI, and PvuII, has been constructed. The circular DNA contains two inverted repeats of about 20 kb separated by a large, single copy region of about 75 kb and a short, single copy region of about 15 kb. The location of the gene for the large subunit of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (Fraction I protein) and the 32 KD photosystem II reaction center gene were determined by using as probes tobacco chloroplast DNAs containing these genes. Rice chloroplast DNA differs from chloroplast DNAs of wheat and corn as well as from dicot chloroplast DNAs by having the 32 KD gene located 20 kb removed from the end of an inverted repeat instead of close to the end, as in other plants.

镧对辣根叶净光合速率和细胞超微结构的影响

测定了用稀土镧[La(Ⅲ)]处理过的辣根(Armoracia rusticana)叶片净光合速率(Pn)和叶绿素(Chl)含量,并用透射电镜观察了经La(Ⅲ)处理后辣根叶绿体超微结构的变化。结果表明,30mgL-1La(Ⅲ)处理24h,Pn和Chl含量较对照分别提高0.82%、3.69%,对应的超微细胞结构无明显变化;48h处理则抑制辣根光合作用,细胞结构变化明显,类囊体基粒片层垛叠变薄,结构松散。而60mgL-1La(Ⅲ)24h、48h处理对辣根的生理和结构均有明显的抑制和破坏,且时间越长破坏越严重。对Pn和Chl含量进行处理时间、稀土浓度及两者共同作用多因素方差分析得出,处理时间对Chl含量的影响不显著,但对Pn的影响极显著,且稀土浓度及二者的共同作用对Pn和Chl含量均达到极显著影响。

基于叶绿体基因多样性的中国水稻起源进化研究

针对目前亚洲栽培稻起源地和进化途径学说众多、分歧巨大的现状,本研究选择原产中国的98份亚洲栽培稻和125份普通野生稻为材料,对叶绿体中atpA序列、rps16内含子序列、trnP-rpl33间隔区、trnG-trnfM序列、trnT-trnL间隔区序列的五段高突变序列进行测序,利用生物信息学方法进行比对分析,绘制Network网络图,构建系统发育树。结果表明,普通野生稻的Indel和SNP数目均比亚洲栽培稻多,序列多样性丰富;基于单倍型的Network网络图和系统发育树可将所有参试材料归为3个类群,类群I主要为粳稻与普通野生稻,类群II主要为籼稻,类群III主要为普通野生稻,而类群II和类群III亲缘关系较近,提示粳、籼两个亚种可能由偏粳、偏籼的普通野生稻分别进化而来,支持二次起源学说;所有与亚洲栽培稻亲缘关系较近的普通野生稻均来源于华南地区,支持华南地区为我国亚洲栽培稻起源中心的论点。
