Root formation and in vivo nitrate reductase (NR) activity were determined in leafy spurge cell suspensions. Cells grown in B5 media with 1 mg L–1 2,4-D were transferred to B5 media without 2,4-D, but containing either high (92:8) or low (15:85) ratios of nitrogen as NO 3 -N:NH 4 + -N. In older cell lines root formation occurred only in the low NO 3 medium with =<30 roots per flask. In younger cell lines root numbers were greatest in the high NO 3 medium (1000 to 3000 per flask). Cells grown in low NO 3 medium were about one-third the final dry weight as those in high NO 3 medium. Root length was consistently greater for cell lines of all ages in the low NO 3 medium. Developmental profiles of NR activity were similar in cell lines of all ages, whether or not roots were formed. NR activity was lower, however, in cultures grown in low NO 3 medium compared to high NO 3 medium. There was no consistent relationship between NR activity and root initiation. Therefore, nitrate reductase does not appear to be a primary target for regulation of leafy spurge growth by chemical application.  相似文献

Summary Net nitrate uptake (J) intoPisum sativum L. seedlings has been investigated. J was high initially, but declined with time as NO 3 efflux (E) approached that of NO 3 influx (I). Both I and E were higher in plants which had been grown without N. J could be reversibly and immediately inhibited by 5 mmol m–3 NH 4 + , although plants grown in the presence of nitrate were less sensitive. A theoretical model which involves substrate cycling across the plasmalemma is shown to increase the sensitivity to substrate and effectors. It predicts that during growth of Pisum in N free media the cycling rate (E/I) is increased and the sensitivity of net flux of inhibition by NH 4 + is highest. The model also provides a means for control of cytoplasmic nitrate pool size [NO 3 ] c.  相似文献

The internal pool of ammonia in strains of unicellular and filamentous cyanobacteria was found to be 6–12 nmol·mg-1 protein. In nitrate grown Anacystis nidulans R-2 the pool size averaged 12 nmol·mg-1 protein, which corresponds to 2.3 mM, and was little affected by N-source or medium pH during growth. Cells from NH 4 + -limited continuous culture contained comparable pools, and cell yield was independent of medium pH (7.2–8.5). The internal pool was not bound to macromolecules. The pool fell transiently to about one-third within 2 h on shifting cells to N-free medium, but was slowly regenerated over 24 h.Added ammonia was removed from solution by illuminated cell suspensions at a linear rate, adequate to supply biosynthetic needs, to residual concentrations less than 5 M. An apparent K m of less than 1 M can be inferred. Uptake rates were independent of N-source during growth, and of assay pH over the range 6.2–8.7. Bicarbonate was needed for uptake, but the rate of uptake was not influenced by the simultaneous presence of NaNO3 (10 mM) or CH3NH3Cl (0.15 mM). Uptake was energydependent, and was eliminated in dark, anaerobic conditions or by the addition of protonophores. Uptake was also strongly inhibited by dicyclohexylearbodiimide, an ATPase inhibitor, by — SH reagents and methionine sulfoximine, suggesting that interference with energy supply or with ammonia metabolism prevented further entry into the cells.Non-standard abbreviations CCCP carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone - DCCD dicyclohexylcarbodiimide - DCMU dichlorophenyl dimethylurea - NEM N-ethylmaleimide - pCMB p-chloromercuribenzoate - MSX L-methionine Dl-sulfoximine  相似文献

White clover plants were grown for 97 days under two temperature regimes (20/15°C and 8/5°C day/night temperatures) and were supplied with either small amounts (a total of 80 mg N pot–1) of ammonium (NH 4 + ) or nitrate (NO 3 ) nitrogen, or received no mineral N and relied on N2 fixation. Greatest growth and total leaf area of clover plants occurred in N2 fixing and NO 3 -fed plants grown at 20/15°C and poorest growth occurred in NH 4 + -fed plants grown at 8/5°C. Nodule mass per plant was greater at 8/5°C due to increased nodule numbers rather than increased dry weight per nodule. This compensated to some extent for the reduced N2-fixing activity per unit dry weight of nodule tissue found at the low growth temperature up to 116 d after sowing, but thereafter both activity per nodule dry weight and activity per plant were greater at the low temperature. Highest nitrate reductase activity (NRA) per g fresh weight and total activity per leaf, petiole or root occurred in NO 3 -fed plants at 8/5°C. Low growth temperature resulted in a greater partitioning of total plant NRA to the roots of NO 3 -fed plants. The results are considered in relation to the use of N fertiliser in the spring under field conditions.  相似文献

The activity and expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was analyzed in a copper-tolerant yeast, Cryptococcus sp. N6. Using cell extracts, two distinct bands exhibiting SOD activity appeared on native PAGE: one band, with higher mobility, appeared when the cells were grown without CuSO4, and the other band appeared when the cells were grown with 10 mM CuSO4. Cells grown with 3 mM CuSO4 produced both SOD isoforms. Western blot analysis, using a monoclonal antibody against human SOD-1, showed that SOD protein was expressed in the absence of CuSO4 and that the expression level increased when the cells were grown with 3 or 10 mM CuSO4. The molecular weight of SOD from strain N6 was approx. 18 kDa. Treatment of the cells with the protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide at 0.5 g ml–1, did not affect cell growth in the absence of CuSO4 but significantly inhibited growth in the presence of 10 mM CuSO4 and inhibited expression of SOD protein. This suggests that SOD may play a role in cell growth in the presence of high concentrations of CuSO4.  相似文献

Cell suspensions of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L., cv KY14) were used to determine the responses of NO3- uptake and NO3- reductase activity (NRA) to exogenous NO3- levels in the absence of long-distance NO3- transport. Tobacco cells grown with complete Murashige and Skoog medium for 7 d were subcultured for 3 d with NH4+-free media containing 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 mM NO3-. Cell NO3-, in vitro NRA, NO3- influx, and efflux of cell NO3- were determined. The NRA increased as cell NO3- increased. Cell NO3- efflux values increased as cell NO3- level increased. Cells with low intracellular NO3- had greater NO3- influx than cells with high intracellular NO3-. Woolf-Augustinsson-Hofstee transformations of the NO3- influx kinetic data revealed patterns characteristic of a high- and low-affinity two-component NO3- uptake system. Apparent Vmax values generally decreased and Km values increased as cell NO3- concentration increased. The NRA of cells supplied with 10 and 20 mM NO3- after 3-d growth in N- free medium increased about 5-fold within 2 h and then remained constant for the next 2 h, whereas NRA of cells supplied with 5 mM NO3- increased only 2-fold during the 4-h period. Intracellular NO3- and other N metabolites associated with cell NO3- levels exerted differential effects on the NO3- influx activity and NRA of tobacco cells cultured in suspension. Expression of high NRA was correlated with both high external and intracellular NO3-, whereas maximum NO3- influx activity required a low (depleted) level of cell NO3-.  相似文献

Murashige & Skoog medium was modified for enhancing artemisinin production in Artemisia annua hairy root cultures by altering the ratio of NO 3 /NH 4 + and the total amount of initial nitrogen. Increasing ammonium to 60 mM decreased both growth and artemisinin accumulation in hairy root cultures. With NO 3 /NH 4 + at 5:1 (w/w), the optimum concentration of total initial nitrogen for artemisinin production was 20 mM. After 24 days of cultivation with 16.7 mM nitrate and 3.3 mM ammonium, the maximum artemisinin production of hairy roots was about 14 mg l–1, a 57% increase over that in the standard MS medium.  相似文献

Nitrate or ammonium nutrition in french bean   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Summary Bean Plants were grown in a greenhouse in sand irrigated with nutrient solutions containing either 2 mM NO 3 or 2 mM NH 4 + . After 45 days fresh weight of NH 4 + plants was half that of NO 3 plants. Cation concentration in NH 4 + plants was 30% less than in NO 3 plants. Amino acids (SER, ASN, GLN) accummulated 3 to 10 times more in NH 4 + plants. The concentration of organic acids (malic, malonic, citric) was 10 to 30 times higher in NO 3 plants. The ATP-costings for the synthesis of amino acids and organic acids in NH 4 + plants was half that of NO 3 ones: therefore it could not account for the reduction of growth in the ammonium-fed plants.  相似文献

Summary The influence of temperature on NO 3 - and NH 4 + uptake, and the activity of the assimilatory enzyme NO 3 - reductase (NR) was compared to inorganic C uptake (photosynthesis) in natural assemblages of Antarctic sea-ice microalgae. NO 3 - and NH 4 + uptake reached a maximum between 0.5°–2.0°C and 2.0°–3.0°C, respectively, which was close to that for photosynthesis (2.5°–3.0°C). NR showed a distinctly higher temperature maximum (10.0°–12.0°C) and a lower Q10 value than inorganic N and C transport. Our data imply that, owing to differential temperature characteristics between N transport and N assimilation at in situ temperature (-1.9°C), the incorporation of extracellular NO 3 - into cellular macromolecules, may be limited by transport of NO 3 - into the cell rather than the intracellular reduction of NO 3 - to NH 4 + . Despite differences in temperature maxima between N transport and N assimilation, the overall low temperature maxima of inorganic N metabolism characterizes Antarctic sea-ice microalgae as psychrophilic. Our study is the first to examine the temperature dependence of inorganic N uptake and assimilation in sea-ice microbial communities.  相似文献

The effect of NH 4 + on the regulation of NO 3 and NO 2 transport systems in roots of intact barley (Hordeum vulgareL.) seedlings grown in NO 3 or NO 2 was studied. Ammonium partially inhibited induction of both transport systems. The inhibition was less severe in NO 2 -fed than in NO 3 -fed seedlings, presumably due to lower uptake of NH 4 + in the presence of NO 2 . In seedlings pretreated with NH 4 + subsequent induction was inhibited only when NH 4 + was also present during induction, even though pretreated roots accumulated high levels of NH 4 + . This indicates that inhibition may be regulated by NH 4 + concentration in the cytoplasm rather than its total accumulation in roots. L-Methionine sulfoximine did not relieve the inhibition by NH 4 + , suggesting that inhibition is caused by NH 4 + itself rather than by its assimilation product(s). Ammonium inhibited subsequent expression of NO 3 transport activity similarly in roots grown in 0.1, 1.0, or 10 mM NO 3 for 24 h (steady-state phase) or 4 d (decline phase), indicating that it has a direct, rather than general feedback effect. Induction of the NO 3 transport system was about twice as sensitive to NH 4 + as compared to the NO 2 transport system. This may relate to higher turnover rates of membraneassociated NO 3 -transport proteins.Abbreviations Mes 2(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid - MSO L-methionine sulfoximine  相似文献

The fluxes and transformations of nitrogen (N) were investigated from 1985 through 1987 at the Emerald Lake watershed (ELW), a 120 ha high-elevation catchment located in the southern Sierra Nevada, California, USA. Up to 90% of annual wet deposition of N was stored in the seasonal snowpack; NO 3 and NH 4 + were released from storage in the form of an ionic pulse, where the first fraction of meltwater draining from the snowpack had concentrations of NO 3 and NH 4 + as high as 28 eq L–1 compared to bulk concentrations of <5 eq L–1 in the snowpack. The soil reservoir of organic N (81 keq ha–1) was about ten times the N storage in litter and biomass (12 keq ha–1). Assimilation of N by vegetation was balanced by the release of N from soil mineralization, nitrification, and litter decay. Mineralization and nitrification processes produced 1.1 keq ha–1 yr–1 of inorganic N, about 3 1/2 times the loading of N from wet and dry deposition. Less than 1% of the NH 4 + in wet and dry deposition was exported from the basin as NH 4 + . Biological assimilation was primarily responsible for retention of NH 4 + in the basin, releasing one mode of H+ for every mole of NH 4 + retained and neutralizing about 25% of the annual acid neutralizing capacity produced by mineral weathering in the basin. Nitrate concentrations in stream waters reached an annual peak during the first part of snowmelt runoff, with maximum concentrations in stream water of 20 eq L–1, more than 4 times the volume-weighted mean annual concentrations of NO 3 in wet deposition. This annual peak in stream water NO 3 was consistent with the release of NO 3 from the snowpack in the form of an ionic pulse; however soil processes occurring underneath the winter snowpack were another potential source of this NO 3 . Concentrations of stream water NO 3 during the summer growing season were always near or below detection limits (0.5 eq L–1).  相似文献

Denitrification by Chromobacterium violaceum   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2       下载免费PDF全文
One host (Rana catesbiana)-associated and two free-living mesophilic strains of bacteria with violet pigmentation and biochemical characteristics of Chromobacterium violaceum were isolated from freshwater habitats. Cells of each freshly isolated strain and of strain ATCC 12472 (the neotype strain) grew anaerobically with glucose as the sole carbon and energy source. The major fermentation products of cells grown in Trypticase soy broth (BBL Microbiology Systems, Cockeysville, Md.) supplemented with glucose included acetate, small amounts of propionate, lactate, and pyruvate. The final cell yield and culture growth rate of each strain cultured anaerobically in this medium increased approximately twofold with the addition of 2 mM NaNO3. Final growth yields increased in direct proportion to the quantity of added NaNO3 over the range of 0.5 to 5 mM. Each strain reduced NO3, producing NO2, NO, and N2O. NO2 accumulated transiently. With 2 mM NaNO3 in the medium, N2O made up 85 to 98% of the N product recovered with each strain. N-oxides were recovered in the same quantity and distribution whether 0.01 atm (ca. 1 kPa) of C2H2 (added to block N2O reduction) was present or not. Neither N2 production nor gas accumulation was detected during NO3 reduction by growing cells. Cell growth in media containing 0.5 to 5 mM NaNO2 in lieu of NaNO3 was delayed, and although N2O was produced by the end of growth, NO2 -containing media did not support growth to an extent greater than did medium lacking NO3 or NO2. The data indicate that C. violaceum cells ferment glucose or denitrify, terminating denitrification with the production of N2O, and that NO2 reduction to N2O is not coupled to growth but may serve as a detoxification mechanism. No strain detectably fixed N2 (reduced C2H2).  相似文献

NO 2 efflux and its regulation have been studied in the cyanobacterium Nostoc MAC. 3-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU), carbonyl cyanide-m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP), sodium azide, p-chloromercuribenzoate (PCMB), and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), a specific inhibitor of bacterial ATPase, inhibited the NO 2 efflux activity singificantly. No NO 2 efflux activity was observed under dark-aerobic as well as under dark-anaerobic conditions; however, the addition of ATP resulted in NO 2 efflux even under dark-aerobic condition. Maximum NO 2 efflux activity was observed when NO 3 served as the sole nitrogen source. However, NH 4 + ions inhibited the NO 2 efflux activity when both NO 3 and NH 4 + wer simulatneously available to the cells. The NO 2 efflux was freed from NH 4 + repression by l-methionine-dl-sulfoximine (MSX), an irreversible inhibitor of glutamine synthetase (GS). Chloramphenicol, a protein synthesis inhibitor, inhibited the derepression of NO 2 efflux system when NH 4 + -incubated cells were transferred to NO 3 medium. Tungstate-treated cells lacking functional NO 3 reductase but having NO 3 uptake activity also lacked NO 2 efflux activity. These results suggest that (i) NO 2 efflux in Nostoc MAC is NO 3 dependent and an energy-dependent process that can be regulated at the levels of NO 3 uptake and NO 3 reductase; (ii) NO 2 efflux system is NH 4 + repressible; however, the product of NH 4 + assimilation via GS is being required for repression to occur; (iii) de novo protein synthesis is required for derepression of the NO 2 efflux system; and (iv) the catalytic activity of NO 2 reductase also seems to play an important role in the regulation of NO 2 efflux system.  相似文献

The soils of mid-Wales in grazed permanent pasture usually exhibit stagnogley features in the top 4–10 cm even though on sloping sites, they are freely drained. Nitrogen is often poorly recovered under these conditions. Our previous studies suggest that continuing loss of available N through concurrent nitrification and denitrification might provide an explanation for poor response to fertilizer N. The work described was designated to further test this proposition. When NH 4 + –N was applied to the surface of intact cores, equilibrated at –5kPa matric potential, about 70% of NH 4 + –N initially present was lost within 56 days of incubation. Study of different sections of the cores showed a rise in NO 3 - level in the surface 0–2.5 cm soil layer but no significant changes below this depth. The imbalance between NO 3 - accumulation and NH 4 + disappearance during the study indicated a simultaneous nitrification and denitrification in the system. Furthermore, the denitrification potential of the soil was 3–4 times greater than nitrification potential so no major build-up of NO 3 - would be expected when two processes occur simultaneously in micro-scale. When nitrification was inhibited by nitrapyrin, a substantial amount of NH 4 + –N remained in the soil and persisted till the end of the incubation. The apparent recovery of applied N increased and of the total amount of N applied, 50% more was recovered relative to without nitrapyrin. It appears that addition of nitrapyrin inhibited nitrification, and consequently denitrification, by limiting the supply of NO 3 - for denitrifying organisms. Emission of N2O from the NH 4 + amended soil cores further confirmed that loss of applied N was the result of both nitrification and denitrification, which occurred simultaneously in adjacent sites at shallow depths. This N loss could account for the poor response to fertilizer N often observed in pastoral agriculture in western areas of the UK.  相似文献

It is generally assumed that plant assimilation constitutes the major sink for anthropogenic Nitrate NO 3 deposited in temperate forests because plant growth is usually limited by nitrogen (N) availability. Nevertheless, plants are known to vary widely in their capacity for NO 3 uptake and assimilation, and few studies have directly measured these parameters for overstory trees. Using a combination of field and greenhouse experiments, we studied the N nutrition of Acer saccharum Marsh. in four northern hardwood forests receiving experimental NO 3 additions equivalent to 30 kg N ha–1 year–1. We measured leaf and fine-root nitrate reductase activity (NRA) of overstory trees using an in vivo assay and used 15N to determine the kinetic parameters of NO 3 uptake by excised fine roots. In two greenhouse experiments, we measured leaf and root NRA in A. saccharum seedlings fertilized with 0–3.5 g NO 3 –N m–2 and determined the kinetic parameters of NO 3 and NH 4 + uptake in excised roots of seedlings. In both overstory trees and seedlings, rates of leaf and fine root NRA were substantially lower than previously reported rates for most woody plants and showed no response to NO 3 fertilization (range = non-detectable to 33 nmol NO 2 g–1 h–1). Maximal rates of NO 3 uptake in overstory trees also were low, ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 mol g–1 h–1. In seedlings, the mean V max for NO 3 uptake in fine roots (1 mol g–1 h–1) was approximately 30 times lower than the V max for NH 4 + uptake (33 mol g–1 h–1). Our results suggest that A. saccharum satisfies its N demand through rapid NH 4 + uptake and may have a limited capacity to serve as a direct sink for atmospheric additions of NO 3 .  相似文献

Effects of N source and media-N and P levels were examined on growth, N uptake, and N2 fixation ofAzolla pinnata withAnabaena azollae association (azolla) at two inoculum-P concentrations. Each expeiment was conducted for 7 days in a growth chamber using azolla at a predetermined inoculum-P concentration and the growth media containing a combination of four levels of P (0, 15, 75, and 200 M) and three levels (0, 1, and 5 mM) of either15N-enriched NH 4 + as ammonium sulfate or15N-enriched NO 3 as potassium nitrate. Nitrogen uptake and N2 fixation were measured by15N isotopic dilution method. Tissue P and N, N uptake, and N2-fixation increased with increasing P concentration in the media regardless of the inoculum-P level of azolla. Increasing P concentration in the media increased growth of azolla at low inoculum P, but the effect on high inoculum-P azolla was either small or absen. High inoculum-P concentration resulted in increased growth, tissue-N and P concentrations, N uptake, and N2 fixation by azolla. Ammonium in the growth media caused larger increase in tissue-N and greater repression of N2 fixation than equimolar concentration of NO 3 . In the presence of NH 4 + or NO 3 , in the growth media, N uptake by azolla exceeded the corresponding decrease in N2 fixation, resulting in an overall increase in tissue-N concentration. Phosphorus in the media tended to negate the inhibitory effect of NH 4 + or NO 3 on N2 fixation. A multiple regression model showed that the effect of tissue-N on N2 fixation was negative while that of tissue-P was positive. Therefore, a relative change in tissue-N and P appeared to regulate N2 fixation. Tissue-N and P had similar effects on relative growth rate of azolla also. Inoculum-P level of azolla was important in determining the response to media-P.This research was supported by a grant from USAID under Indo-US Science and Technology Initiative.  相似文献

The importance of heterotrophic nitrification was studied in soil from a mixed-conifer forest. Three sites in the forest were sampled: a clear cut area, a young stand and a mature stand. In the mature stand, the mineral soil (0–10 cm) and the organic layer were sampled separately. Gross rates of N mineralization and nitrification were measured by15NH 4 + and15NO 3 isotopic pool dilution, respectively. The rates of autotrophic and heterotrophic nitrification were distinguished by use of acetylene as a specific inhibitor of autotrophic nitrification. In samples supplemented with15NH 4 + and treated with acetylene, no15NO 3 was detectable showing that the acetylene treatment effectively blocked the autotrophic nitrification, and that NH 4 + was not a substrate for heterotrophic nitrification. In the clear cut area, autotrophic nitrification was the most important NO 3 generating process with total nitrification (45 ug N kg–1h–1) accounting for about one-third of gross N mineralization (140 ug N kg–1 h–1). In the young and mature forested sites, gross nitrification rates were largely unaffected by acetylene treatment indicating that heterotrophic nitrification dominated the NO 3 generating process in these areas. In the mature forest mineral and organic soil, nitrification (heterotrophic) was equal to only about 5% of gross mineralization (gross mineralization rates of 90 ug N kg–1 h–1 mineral; 550 ug N kg–1 h–1 organic). The gross nitrification rate decreased from the clear cut area to the young forest area to the mineral soil of the mature forest (45; 17; 4.5 ug kg–1 h–1 respectively). The15N isotope pool dilution method, combined with acetylene as an inhibitor of autotrophic nitrification provided an effective technique for assessing the importance of heterotrophic nitrification in the N-cycle of this mixed-conifer ecosystem.  相似文献

A field lysimeter experiment was conducted over a 406 day period to determine the effect of different soil types on the fate of synthetic urinary nitrogen (N). Soil types included a sandy loam, silty loam, clay and peat. Synthetic urine was applied at 1000 kg N ha-1, during a winter season, to intact soil cores in lysimeters. Leaching losses, nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, and plant uptake of N were monitored, with soil 15N content determined upon destructive sampling of the lysimeters. Plant uptake of urine-N ranged from 21.6 to 31.4%. Soil type influenced timing and form of inorganic-N leaching. Macropore flow occurred in the structured silt and clay soils resulting in the leaching of urea. Ammonium (NH 4 + –N), nitrite (NO 2 - –N) and nitrate (NO3 -–N) all occurred in the leachates with maximum concentrations, varying with soil type and ranging from 2.3–31.4 g NH 4 + –N mL-1, 2.4–35.6 g NO 2 - –N mL-1, and 62–102 g NO 3 - –N mL-1, respectively. Leachates from the peat and clay soils contained high concentrations of NO 2 - –N. Gaseous losses of N2O were low (<2% of N applied) over a 112 day measurement period. An associated experiment showed the ratio of N2–N:N2O–N ranged from 6.2 to 33.2. Unrecovered 15N was presumed to have been lost predominantly as gaseous N2. It is postulated that the high levels of NO 2 - –N could have contributed to chemodenitrification mechanisms in the peat soil.  相似文献

Summary We studied root net uptake of ammonium (NH 4 + ) and nitrate (NO 3 ) in species of the genus Piper (Piperaceae) under high, intermediate and low photosynthetically active photon flux densities (PFD). Plants were grown hydroponically, and then transferred to temperature controlled (25° C) root cuvettes for nutrient uptake determinations. Uptake solutions provided NH 4 + and NO 3 simultaneously (both) or separately (single). In the first experiment, seven species of Piper, from a broad range of rainforest light habitats ranging from gap to understory, were screened for mineral nitrogen preference (100 M NH 4 + and/or 100 M NO 3 ) at intermediate PFD (100 mol m–2 s–1). Preference for NH 4 + relative to NO 3 , defined as the ratio of NH 4 + (both):NO 3 (both) net uptake, was higher in understory species than in gap species. Ammonium repression of NO 3 uptake, defined as the ratio of NO 3 (single): NO 3 (both) net uptake, was also higher in understory species as compared to gap species. In a second set of experiments, we examined the effect of nitrogen concentration (equimolar, 10 to 1000 M) on NH 4 + preference and NH 4 + repression of NO 3 net uptake at high (500 mol m–2 s–1) and low (50 mol m–2 s–1) PFD in a gap (P. auritum), generalist (P. hispidum) and understory species (P. aequale). All species exhibited negligible NH 4 + repression of NO 3 net uptake at high PFD. At low PFD, NH 4 + preference and repression of NO 3 net uptake occurred in all species (understory > generalist > gap), but only at intermediate nitrogen concentrations, i.e. between 10 and 200 M. Ammonium repression of net NO 3 uptake decreased or increased rapidly (in < 48 h) after transitions from low to high or from high to low PFD respectively. No significant diurnal patterns in NO 3 or NH 4 + net uptake were observed.CIWDPB publication # 1130  相似文献

Petioles from in vitro grown plants of interspecific grapevine hybrids cvs `Bianca', `Podarok Magaracha' and `Intervitis Magaracha' were cultured on solid NN medium supplemented with 2,4-D and BA at various concentrations. The callus developed was cultured in liquid NN medium supplemented with 0.5 mg l–1 BA to induce formation of somatic embryos. Somatic embryos of globular and heart-stage developed in suspensions of `Podarok Magaracha' and `Intervitis Magaracha'. In contrast, `Bianca' did not undergo embryogenesis beyond globular stage. This made it necessary to perform subculture of the suspensions to HTE liquid medium supplemented with 0.2 mg l–1 BA for the development of globular embryos into heart stage. Heart-stage embryos developed into torpedo-stage after subculturing suspensions of all three cultivars to liquid HTE medium supplemented with 0.1 mg l–1 IAA and 30 mg l–1 sodium hummate. Torpedo-stage embryo suspensions were subcultured in liquid HTE medium supplemented with 0.5 mg l–1 BA, 0.5 mg l–1 GA3 and 0.5 mg l–1 GA3 + 0.2 mg l–1 BA. After 12 days of incubation, plantlets were cultured on solid M2MS medium: without growth regulators and with 0.5 mg l–1 BA. Plantlets that developed in liquid HTE media with 0.5 mg l–1 GA3 or 0.5 mg l–1 GA3 + 0.2 mg l–1 BA produced 82–90% shoots on solid M2MS medium with 0.5 mg l–1 BA after 50 days of culture.  相似文献
