Changes in catalase activity during the development of the Rhizobium-legume symbiosis as well as its response in salinized plants of Phaseolus vulgaris and Medicago sativa, was studied. Besides, it was examined the behavior of the enzyme, isolated from leaves and root nodules, during in vitro incubation with NaCl doses. Nodule catalase activities of both legumes were assayed with several enzyme inhibitors and also purified. Leaf catalase activity of Phaseolus vulgaris and Medicago sativa decreased and increased respectively throughout the ontogeny, but root nodule catalase kept a high and stable value. This last result suggests that both legumes require the maintenance of high nodule catalase in nitrogen-fixing nodules. Under salt stress conditions leaf and nodule catalase activity decreased in both, grain and pasture legumes. Because catalase from leaf of Medicago sativa and nodules of Phaseolus vulgaris were relatively sensitive to NaCl during in vitro experiments, the detoxifying role of this enzyme for H(2)O(2) should be limited in such conditions. Both catalases, from determinate and indeterminate nodules, were affected neither by oxygen nor superoxide radicals but showed a strong (Phaseolus vulgaris) or partial (Medicago sativa) inhibition with dithiothreitol, dithionite and beta-mercaptoethanol. Besides, cyanide was the most potent inhibitor of nodule catalases. Finally, catalases partially purified by immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography migrated at 42 (Phaseolus vulgaris) and 46kDa (Medicago sativa) on SDS-PAGE, whereas native forms on sephacryl S-300 columns exhibited a molecular mass of 59 and 48kDa (Phaseolus vulgaris) and 88 and 53kDa (Medicago sativa). 相似文献

The nitrate reductase activity distribution and response of two nodulated species of Phaseolus (Phaseolus vulgaris-common bean, and Phaseolus lunatus-lima bean) to different exogenous nitrate levels were studied during the vegetative period. These Phaseolus species showed to be very contrasting in respect to the pattern of nitrate reductase (NR) activity distribution thought the plant. The highest level of NR activity in P. vulgaris was clearly shown to occur in leaves in contrast with the lowest one detected in roots and nodules as widely seen for other tropical species of the Phaseoleae tribe. Conversely, P. lunatus had higher NR activity in the nodules, whereas its leaves exhibited a steadily decrease during the plant development. Indeed, at 32 days after emergence (pre-flowering stage), the nodulated P. vulgaris had approximately 95% of the total NR activity localized in its leaves, whereas in P. lunatus it was equally distributed in the nodules and in the leaves. Under long-term exposure to increasing exogenous level of nitrate, the leaf-NR activity of nodulated P. vulgaris presented a positive response, whereas the enzyme activity was very low and unresponsive in P. lunatus. In contrast, the nodule-NR activity showed a reverse response to the increasing NO(3)(-) level. The nodule-NR activity of P. lunatus significantly increased whereas in the P. vulgaris nodules it was very low and unresponsive. This present study suggests that P. lunatus inoculated with Rhizobium tropici presents a singular pattern of nitrate reduction distribution among leaves and nodules during the vegetative development. It is speculated that the nodulated Phaseolus lunatus may have different NR isoforms in their leaves (at least a constitutive type) and an inducible form in their nodules, responsive to long-term exposure to nitrate. 相似文献

Infection of root nodules of beans, Phaseolus vulgaris L., by bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) and the effect of the disease on the specific activity of the nodule are reported. Infectivity and serological microprecipitin assays with two sources of BYMV antiserum demonstrated that nodules from bean plants whose leaves had been inoculated with BYMV contain BYMV antigen. The disease reduced the fresh weights of tops, roots, and root nodules and induced premature nodule decay and/or nodule drop. The disease also reduced leghemoglobin content, on a plant weight basis, and N2 fixation rate, on an individual plant basis, as measured by the acetylene reduction assay. The increased leghemoglobin content per gram-nodule in BYMV-infected nodules relative to healthy nodules might be associated with multiplication of the virus in the nodule and/or unknown cellular effects derived from the BYMV-Rhizobium interaction. 相似文献

This paper has investigated the regulation of the activitiesof glutamine synthetase (GS) and NADH-dependent glutamate synthase(NADH-GOGAT) of Phaseolus vulgaris in relation to the nitrogensupply. The activity of NADH-GOGAT II, which is the most abundantisoenzyme of glutamate synthase in root nodules of P. vulgaris,was either absent or barely detectable in other organs of thisspecies. Moreover, its activity in roots could not be inducedby ammonium. In nodules NADH-GOGAT II activity was detectedin nodules grown under an atmosphere of 80% argon: 20% oxygenand in nodules formed with a Fix- Rhizobium mutant. However,in these non-fixing nodules the activity of this isoenzyme attainedless than 15% of the activity in fixing nodules and switchingargon/oxygen grown nodules to nitrogen/oxygen led to an increasein this isoenzyme within 24 h. This effect could not be mimickedby the addition of exogenous ammonium. Ammonium addition, however,promoted nodule senescence and also led to a decrease in theactivities of nitrogenase and plant GS. In particular, the nodule-enhancedGS isoenzyme but not the GSß isoenzyme was affectedby these changes and in a manner similar to the changes in NADH-GOGATII. The activity of the NADH-GOGAT I isoenzyme was detectablein other organs of P. vulgaris and in nodules its activity alsoshowed some changes in response to the rate of dinitrogen fixation.

Organization and expression of leghaemoglobin genes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Leghaemoglobin genes in soybean (Glycine max) are present as a moderately reiterated family of sequences. Since there are identical restriction site patterns of these sequences in DNA isolated from leaf, root, or nodule tissue, the data suggest that no major changes in the organization or methylation of leghaemoglobin genes occur during their induction. Cloned soybean leghaemoglobin-cDNA cross hybridized with RNA from root nodules of kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), and to a lesser extent, of pea (Pisum sativum) indicating sequence homology in the leghaemoglobin genes of these species. Hybridization to the genomic DNA restriction fragments of two other species, Glycine soja and Vicia faba, also indicated interspecies sequence homologies. Several restriction fragments appear to be common to all species examined. The induction of these genes occurs following infection of the plant by Rhizobium and is independent of the appearance of nitrogenase activity in the nodules. The level of expression is, however, influenced by various mutations in Rhizobium that result in the development of ineffective (nonnitrogen fixing) nodules. 相似文献

To analyse nodular antioxidant enzyme expression in response to salt stress, Phaseolus vulgaris genotype BAT477 was inoculated with reference strain CIAT899, and treated with 50 mM NaCl. Plant growth, nodulation and nitrogen fixing activity were analysed. Results showed that: (1) all parameters, particularly in nodules, were affected by salt treatments, and (2) confirmed preferential growth allocation to roots. The ARA was significantly decreased by salt treatments. Protein dosage confirmed that nodules were more affected by salt treatment than were roots. We analysed superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase and peroxidase in nodules, roots and a free rhizobial strain. Our results indicated that SOD and CAT nodular isozymes had bacterial and root origins. The SOD expressed the same CuZn, Fe and Mn SOD isoforms in nodules and roots, whereas in free rhizobia we found only one Fe and Mn SOD. APX and POX nodule and root profiles had only root origins, as no rhizobial band was detected. Under salt stress, plant growth, nitrogen fixation and activities of antioxidant defense enzymes in nodules were affected. Thus, these enzymes appear to preserve symbiosis from stress turned out that NaCl salinity lead to a differential regulation of distinct SOD and POX isoenzyme. So their levels in nodules appeared to be consistent with a symbiotic nitrogen fixing efficiency hypothesis, and they seem to function as the molecular mechanisms underlying the nodule response to salinity. 相似文献

Eighty bacterial isolates from root nodules of the leguminous plants Phaseolus vulgaris, Campylotropis spp. and Cassia spp. grown in China were classified into five groups by phenotypic analyses, SDS-PAGE of whole-cell proteins, PCR-based 16S rRNA gene restriction-fragment-length-polymorphism and sequencing. Thirty-three isolates from the three plant genera were identified as Agrobacterium tumefaciens because they are closely related to the type strain of A. tumefaciens. Fourteen isolates from P. vulgaris grown in Yunnan and Inner Mongolia were classified as R. leguminosarum bv. phaseoli based on their close relationship with the type strain in numerical taxonomy and in 16S rDNA phylogeny. Twenty-seven isolates from Campylotropis delavayi, P. vulgaris and four species of Cassia grown in the central zones of China were classified into three groups within the genus Bradyrhizobium. One of these three groups could be defined as Bradyrhizobium japonicum. Our results demonstrated that P. vulgaris and the species of Campylotropis and Cassia could form nodules with diverse rhizobia in Chinese soils, including novel lineages associated with P. vulgaris. These results also offered information about the convergent evolution between rhizobia and legumes since the rhizobial populations associated with P. vulgaris in Chinese soils were completely different from those in Mexico, the original cite of this plant. Some rhizobial species could be found in all of the three leguminous genera. 相似文献

Fast, efficient and reproducible genetic transformation of Phaseolus spp. by Agrobacterium rhizogenes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This transformation procedure generates, with high efficiency (70-90%), hairy roots in cultivars, landraces and accessions of Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean) and other Phaseolus spp. Hairy roots rapidly develop after wounding young plantlets with Agrobacterium rhizogenes, at the cotyledon node, and keeping the plants in high-humidity conditions. Callogenesis always precedes hairy-root formation, and after 15 days, when roots develop at wounded sites, the stem with the normal root is cleaved below the hairy root zone. Transgenic roots and nodules co-transformed with a binary vector can be easily identified using a reporter gene. This procedure, in addition to inducing robust transgenic hairy roots that are susceptible to being nodulated by rhizobia and to fixing nitrogen efficiently, sets the foundation for a high-throughput functional genomics approach on the study of root biology and root-microbe interactions. This protocol can be completed within 30 days. 相似文献

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a traditional crop in much of Latin America, where it is often planted into soils containing numerous, sometimes ineffective, indigenous rhizobia. The presence of these indigenous organisms can limit response to inoculation. Because of this, we have sought bean cultivars that will nodulate preferentially with the inoculant strain, and have previously reported on the preference between the bean cultivar RAB39 and strains of Rhizobium tropici. We have detailed this interaction using the inoculant-quality strain UMR1899. In the present study the root tip marking (RTM) technique was used to demonstrate that this preference in nodulation was evident, even when inoculation with UMR1899 was delayed up to 8?relative to that with Rhizobium etli UMR1632. In contrast to studies with other legumes, roots of RAB39 were not predisposed to nodulate with UMR1632, even though preexposed to this strain for considerable periods of time. The presence of UMR1899 actually reduced nodulation by UMR1632 substantially, even when inoculation with UMR1899 was significantly delayed. When UMR1899 and UMR1632 were applied to separate halves of a split-root system, the number of nodules on the side receiving UMR1632 was less than for the half root inoculated with UMR1899, but the differences were not significant. This suggests that the preference response is not systemic but requires proximity between the strains involved. UMR1899 produced more than 50% of the nodules even when the ratio of UMR1632:UMR1899 in the inoculant was 10:1. The results are further evidence of a stable and marked preference of RAB39 for UMR1899, which warrants a more detailed study at the field level.Key words: Phaseolus vulgaris L., common bean, delayed inoculation, strain preference, cell proportions. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Neutral red (NR), a lipophilic phenazine dye, has been widely used in various biological systems as a vital stain for bright-field microscopy. In its unprotonated form it penetrates the plasma membrane and tonoplast of viable plant cells, then due to protonation it becomes trapped in acidic compartments. The possible applications of NR for confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) studies were examined in various aspects of plant root biology. METHODS: NR was used as a fluorochrome for living roots of Phaseolus vulgaris, Allium cepa, A. porrum and Arabidopsis thaliana (wild-type and transgenic GFP-carrying lines). The tissues were visualized using CLSM. The effect of NR on the integrity of the cytoskeleton and the growth rate of arabidopsis primary roots was analysed to judge potential toxic effects of the dye. KEY RESULTS: The main advantages of the use of NR are related to the fact that NR rapidly penetrates root tissues, has affinity to suberin and lignin, and accumulates in the vacuoles. It is shown that NR is a suitable probe for visualization of proto- and metaxylem elements, Casparian bands in the endodermis, and vacuoles in cells of living roots. The actin cytoskeleton and the microtubule system of the cells, as well as the dynamics of root growth, remain unchanged after short-term application of NR, indicating a relatively low toxicity of this chemical. It was also found that NR is a useful probe for the observation of the internal structures of root nodules and of fungal hyphae in vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizas. CONCLUSIONS: Ease, low cost and absence of tissue processing make NR a useful probe for structural, developmental and vacuole-biogenetic studies of plant roots with CLSM. 相似文献

Effect of phosphorus deficiency on growth angle of basal roots in Phaseolus vulgaris 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Root architectural plasticity might be an important factor in the acquisition by plants of immobile nutrients such as phosphorus (P). In this study, we examined the effect of P availability on the orientation of basal roots with respect to gravity, and thereby on the growth angle of these roots of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). In one set of studies the growth angle of basal roots of bean seedlings was measured over time. Sixteen bean genotypes were examined; six showed a decrease in root orientation with respect to gravity in low P media, one increased orientation, and nine showed no difference within 5 d of basal root emergence. Bean taproots also showed decreased root orientation with respect to gravity in low P. Growth angle after 5 d was correlated with field performance of contrasting genotypes in low P tropical soils. Mineral deficiencies other than P did not cause changes in root angle. In a split pouch system that provided high or low P solution to different parts of the root system, the decrease in root angle in low P was found to be a response to global P availability, and not local to the portion of the root system in low P. Effects of P availability on root angle were associated with reduced shoot P concentration, but preceded effects on plant biomass accumulation and leaf area expansion. Results from growth pouches for genotype G 19833 were confirmed using a solid-phase buffered sand-culture system supplying P at three levels. Pea (Pisum sativum), soybean (Glycine max Williams), chickpea (Cicer arietinum), lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus), and lentil (Lens culinaris) were grown with and without P; soybean and pea also showed decreased basal root angles in low P. 相似文献

Correlations between regeneration of the root cap and recovery of a gravitropic response were studied using primary roots of Phaseolus vulgaris. After removal of various lengths of the root tip a gravistimulus was continuously given to the root. The statistical analysis of data showed that recovery of the gravitropic response was gradually delayed as the length of the tips removed increased. This suggested that the columella cells of the root cap were involved in gravitropism. When the root cap was completely removed, the roots did not respond to gravistimuli for the first 15 h and began to reorient their growth direction at 20 h. At this time, the columella cells had just begun to regenerate and had immature amyloplasts which did not sufficiently form a sediment. These results suggest that other systems of perception exist in plant cells in addition to the amyloplast-based model of graviperception. 相似文献

Agrobacterium rhizogenes transformation of the Phaseolus spp.: a tool for functional genomics 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Estrada-Navarrete G Alvarado-Affantranger X Olivares JE Díaz-Camino C Santana O Murillo E Guillén G Sánchez-Guevara N Acosta J Quinto C Li D Gresshoff PM Sánchez F 《Molecular plant-microbe interactions : MPMI》2006,19(12):1385-1393
A fast, reproducible, and efficient transformation procedure employing Agrobacterium rhizogenes was developed for Phaseolus vulgaris L. wild accessions, landraces, and cultivars and for three other species belonging to the genus Phaseolus: P. coccineus, P. lunatus, and P. acutifolius. Induced hairy roots are robust and grow quickly. The transformation frequency is between 75 and 90% based on the 35-S promoter-driven green fluorescent protein and beta-glucuronidase expression reporter constructs. When inoculated with Rhizobium tropici, transgenic roots induce normal determinate nodules that fix nitrogen as efficiently as inoculated standard roots. The A. rhizogenes-induced hairy root transformation in the genus Phaseolus sets the foundation for functional genomics programs focused on root physiology, root metabolism, and root-microbe interactions. 相似文献

The symbiotic phenotype of five Tn5-induced mutants of Rhizobium etli affected in different anabolic pathways (namely, gluconeogenesis and biosynthesis of lysine, purine, or pyrimidine) was analyzed. These mutants induced, on the root of Phaseolus vulgaris, a normal early sequence of morphogenetics events, including root hair deformation and development of nodule primordia. Later on, however, from the resulting root outgrowths, instead of nodules, one or more ectopic roots (spaced closely related and agravitropic) emerged. Therefore, this group of mutant was collectively called "root inducer" (RIND). It was observed that the RIND-induced infection threads aborted early inside the invaded root hair, and that the resulting abortive nodules lack induction of late nodulin genes. Moreover, experiments performed using a conditional mutant (a methionine-requiring invader) revealed that bacterial invasion plays a key role in the maintenance of the program of nodule development and, in particular, in the differentiation of the most specific symbiotic tissue of globose nodules, the central tissue. These data indicate that, in P. vulgaris, the nodule primordium is a root-specified pro-meristematic tissue. 相似文献
