Methyl jasmonate (JA-Me) inhibited or retarded germination of Amaranthus caudatus seeds in darkness at 24°C, Ethephon, ACC and gibberellins (GA3 or GA4+7) partially or completely reversed this inhibition depending on the concentration of JA-Me applied. Both ethephon and the gibberellins were more effective than ACC. Both GA3 and GA4+7 enhanced the stimulatory effect of ethephon or ACC on germination of seeds inhibited by JA-Me.Abbreviations ACC 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid - JA jasmonic acid - JA-Me methyl jasmonate  相似文献

Dormant Amaranthus retroflexus seeds do not germinate in the dark at temperatures below 35°C. Fully dormant seeds germinate only at 35–40°C whereas non-dormant ones germinate within a wider range of temperatures (15 to 40°C). Germination of non-dormant seeds requires at least 10% oxygen, but the sensitivity of seeds to oxygen deprivation increases with increasing depth of dormancy. 10–6 to 10–4 M ethephon, 10–3 M 1-aminocyclopropane 1-carboxylic acid (ACC) and 10–3 M gibberellic acid (GA3) break this dormancy. In the presence of 10–3 M GA3 dormant seeds are able to germinate in the same range of temperatures as non-dormant seeds. The stimulatory effect of GA3 is less dependent on temperature than that of ethephon, while ACC stimulates germination only at relatively high temperatures (25–30°C). The results obtained are discussed in relation to the possible involvement of endogenous ethylene in the regulation of germination of A. retroflexus seeds.Abbreviations ACC 1-aminocyclopropane 1-carboxylic acid - GA3 gibberellic acid - SD standard deviation  相似文献

Unimbibed Amaranthus caudatus seeds were found to contain stachyose, raffinose, verbascose, sucrose, galactinol, myo-inositol, glucose and fructose, while no galactose, maltose and maltotriose was detected. During imbibition, seed concentrations of verbascose, stachyose, raffinose, galactinol, myo-inositol (temporary) and fructose (transient) were observed to decrease; concentrations of galactose and maltose remained fairly constant, while those of sucrose, glucose and maltotriose increased, the increase in sucrose concentration was only temporary. Effects of gibberellin A3 (GA3) at 3 × 10−4 M and ethephon at 3 × 10−4 M alone or in the presence of methyl jasmonate (Me-JA) at 10−3 M on concentrations of soluble sugars during germination of A. caudatus seeds were examined. Me-JA was found to inhibit seed germination and fresh weight of the seeds, but did not affect sucrose, myo-inositol, galactose and maltose concentrations during imbibition for up to 20 h. The exogenously applied GA3 was observed to enhance germination, stachyose breakdown and glucose concentration after 20 h of incubation. Ethephon stimulated seed germination as well as utilisation of stachyose, galactinol (both after 14 and 20 h) and raffinose (after 14 h of incubation). Although the stimulatory effect of either GA3 or ethephon on seed germination was blocked by Me-JA; these stimulators increased mobilisation of raffinose and stachyose, but only ethephon enhanced both glucose and fructose after 14 and/or 20 h of incubation in the presence of Me-JA. The maltose concentration was increased by both GA3 and ethephon alone and in the presence of Me-JA. Of the growth regulators studied, ethephon alone and/or in combination with Me-JA significantly increased the concentrations of glucose, fructose, galactose, maltose and maltotriose. The differences in sugar metabolism appear to be linked to ethylene or GA3 applied simultaneously with Me-JA.  相似文献

BA at 10–5 M, GA3 at 3×10–4 M or GA4+7 at 3×10–5 M partially or largely reversed the inhibition of Amaranthus caudatus seed germination due to JA-Me. BA or GA3 did not affect ethylene production and ACC oxidase activity in vivo in the presence of JA-Me before radicle protrusion. However, both increased ethylene production after 72 h of incubation, when the reversal of the JA-Me inhibition of seed germination was observed. AVG at 3×10–4 M decreased ethylene production when it was applied simultaneously with BA and JA-Me or GA3 and JA-Me, but it had no effect on seed germination. NBD almost completely reversed the stimulatory effect of BA, GA3 or GA4+7 on the germination of seeds in the presence of JA-Me. Exogenous ethylene reversed the inhibitory effect of NBD. The results indicate that action of endogenous ethylene is involved in the response of JA-Me inhibited seeds to BA or GAs.  相似文献

Embryogenic callus cultures of lemon (Citrus limon L. Burm f. cv Verna), were selected for resistance to salt stress (170 mM NaCl). Inorganic analysis showed that selected callus accumulated more Na+ and Cl- ions than the non-selected one. Moreover, the salt-tolerant C. limon callus exhibited an increase in the activity of antioxidant enzymes involved in oxygen metabolism, with the induction of a new superoxide dismutase isozyme and an increase of the peroxidase activity while the catalase activity was unchanged. Proline and total sugar, mainly sucrose, concentrations increases significantly in salt-tolerant cells as compared to control cells. On the other hand, the selected cell line also showed an increase in choline and glycine betaine, but to lesser extent.Abbreviations BSA bovine serum albumin - P5CR pyrroline-5-carboxylated reductase - QAC quaternary ammonium compounds - SOD superoxide dismutase  相似文献

Abstract

Desert plant species commonly use seed dormancy to prevent germination during unfavorable environmental conditions and thus increase the probability of seedling survival. Seed dormancy presents a challenge for restoration ecology, particularly in desert species for which our knowledge of dormancy regulation is limited. In the present study the effect of gibberellic acid (GA3) and potassium nitrate (KNO3) on seed dormancy release was investigated on eight Arabian desert species. Both treatments significantly enhanced the germination of most species tested. GA3 was more effective than KNO3 in enhancing germination percentage, reducing mean germination time and synchronizing the germination in most of the studied species. Light requirement during germination was species-specific, but in general the presence of light promoted germination more effectively when combined with KNO3 and GA3. The wide variation in dormancy and germination requirements among the tested species is indicative of distinct germination niches, which might assist their co-existence in similar habitat/environmental conditions. Seed pre-treatments that optimize germination in this habitat must therefore be assessed for individual species to improve the outcomes of ecological restoration.  相似文献

Suaeda japonica Makino belonging to the family Chenopodiaceae, is a halophyte and grows at the shore of Ariake sea in Japan. This plant presumably possesses high salt resistant nature, thus, we examined the mechanisms of seed germination under salt stress. The seeds maintained 80% germination rates on the medium containing 0.7 M NaCl. Germination rates varied depending on salt type; the germination rates under NaCl or KCI exhibited relatively lower values than ones under sodium gluconate or potassium gluconate. This different responses for salts seemed to be as a result of the presence of Cl ions. Although very high levels of betaine (compatible solute), were kept in the seedlings grown under no salt stress, the contents gradually increased as concentration of NaCl increased. Betaine is a factor present in plants that works to alleviate the effects of excessive soil salts. It is synthesized in leaves from betaine aldehyde, and this process is catabolized by betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH). When the seedlings were cultivated on the medium without NaCl, relatively high level of BADH activity was found. The activity increased 5-fold in the seedlings grown under 0.5 M NaCl stress. Increases in betaine content and BADH activity were found during seed germination. InS. japonica, the salt stress promoted BADH activity, subsequently endogenous betaine contents were increased, and increased betaine seemed to secure seed germination under salt stress.  相似文献

The seeds of Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis are deeply dormant, and they remain dormant for 18 months or longer in their natural environment. Periodic exposure of the seeds to a low-temperature of 4 °C broke the dormancy in about 16 weeks (112 days). The most effective temperature stratification scheme was an interval of 14 days at 4 °C and 14 days at 22 °C. Both GA3 and ethephon significantly enhanced the germination rate during the stratification treatment. The seed coat, particularly the mesophyll outer layer of the seed coat, strongly inhibited the germination. With removal of the seed coat and exposure of the uncoated seeds to 600 mg/l GA3 for 48 h before the temperature stratification of 14 days at 4 °C and 14 days at 22 °C for 112 days, a germination percentage as high as 95.3% of the seeds was attained in about 160 days.  相似文献

Dormant, intact Avena fatua L. (wild oat) seeds germinate poorly at 20 °C. Removing the hulls slightly increased germination. Treatment with smoke solutions increased the germination of both intact seeds and caryopses. Exogenous GA3, alone or in the presence of smoke solution, increased the germination of caryopses, while ACC shows a tendency to increase germination of caryopses only when applied in combination with smoke solution. Results suggest that GA3 and ethylene, but not smoke solutions, are involved in the regulation of α-amylase activity during germination. However, the participation of smoke solutions in the control of ACC oxidase activity cannot be excluded.  相似文献

Dormancy development in four Lilium genotypes,L. speciosum, Star Gazer, C. King and Snow Queenregenerated in vitro was compared. Major factorsinfluencing dormancy development were the same for different genotypes andespecially L. speciosum and Star Gazer, that are closelyrelated, reacted similarly. Temperature was the main factor in dormancyinduction and breaking. The range of temperatures that induced dormancy and thelevel of dormancy that developed differed per genotype. In Star Gazer, dormancydeveloped gradually but in Snow Queen, dormancy developed very fast. Thereactions to temperature, reflected the climate in the area of origin. Abscisicacid deepened the level of dormancy induced by temperature but had no effectunder non-inductive temperature conditions. When abscisic acid synthesis wasblocked, no dormancy developed. Dormancy in all genotypes was broken by coldincubation for severalweeks. The cold requirement of the genotypes differed in line with the naturalwinter conditions in their habitat. The effect of hormones on dormancy breakingwas also investigated. A gibberellin treatment of 24 h brokedormancy in L. speciosum, Star Gazer and Snow Queen.  相似文献

Abutilon theophrasti (C3) and Amaranthus retroflexus (C4), were grown from seed at four partial pressures of CO2: 15 Pa (below Pleistocene minimum), 27 Pa (pre-industrial), 35 Pa (current), and 70 Pa (future) in the Duke Phytotron under high light, high nutrient, and wellwatered conditions to evaluate their photosynthetic response to historic and future levels of CO2. Net photosynthesis at growth CO2 partial pressures increased with increasing CO2 for C3 plants, but not C4 plants. Net photosynthesis of Abutilon at 15 Pa CO2 was 70% less than that of plants grown at 35 Pa CO2, due to greater stomatal and biochemical limitations at 15 Pa CO2. Relative stomatal limitation (RSL) of Abutilon at 15 Pa CO2 was nearly 3 times greater than at 35 Pa CO2. A photosynthesis model was used to estimate ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (rubisco) activity (Vcmax), electron transport mediated RuBP regeneration capacity (J max), and phosphate regeneration capacity (PiRC) in Abutilon from net photosynthesis versus intercellular CO2 (AC i) curves. All three component processes decreased by approximately 25% in Abutilon grown at 15 Pa compared with 35 Pa CO2. Abutilon grown at 15 Pa CO2 had significant reductions in total rubisco activity (25%), rubisco content (30%), activation state (29%), chlorophyll content (39%), N content (32%), and starch content (68%) compared with plants grown at 35 Pa CO2. Greater allocation to rubisco relative to light reaction components and concomitant decreases in J max and PiRC suggest co-regulation of biochemical processes occurred in Abutilon grown at 15 Pa CO2. There were no significant differences in photosynthesis or leaf properties in Abutilon grown at 27 Pa CO2 compared with 35 Pa CO2, suggesting that the rise in CO2 since the beginning of the industrial age has had little effect on the photosynthetic performance of Abutilon. For Amaranthus, limitations of photosynthesis were balanced between stomatal and biochemical factors such that net photosynthesis was similar in all CO2 treatments. Differences in photosynthetic response to growth over a wide range of CO2 partial pressures suggest changes in the relative performance of C3 and C4 annuals as atmospheric CO2 has fluctuated over geologic time.  相似文献

The results of the current study indicate that diabetic rats have increased urinary Cr loss as a result of their diabetes; however, this increased urinary Cr loss is offset by increased absorption of Cr. Insulin resistant, obese rats have alterations in the rates of Cr transport and distribution compared to lean rats but have similar levels of urinary Cr loss and Cr absorption. Thus, any increases in urinary Cr loss associated with insulin resistance or diabetes are offset by increased absorption. Given that dietary chromium is normally absorbed with only ∼ 1% efficiency, suitable Cr exists in the diet so that a standard diet possesses sufficient chromium to allow for the increases in absorption associated with diabetes. Consequently, supplementing the diet with nutritionally relevant quantities of chromium is not anticipated to have any beneficial effects. Similarly, beneficial effects on plasma variables, such as cholesterol, triglycerides, and insulin concentrations, from supra-nutritional doses of Cr(III) complexes should not arise from alleviation of chromium deficiency. These beneficial effects must arise from pharmacological effects of high dose Cr(III) administration.  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 involvement of ethylene and ethylene receptor Ethylene Response 1 (ETR1) in plant stress responses has been highlighted. However, the physiological processes involved remain unclear. In this study, we have investigated the physiological response of two alleles etr1-1 and etr1-7 mutants during germination and post-germination seedling development in response to salt and osmotic stress. The etr1-1 mutants showed increased sensitivity to osmotic (200 mM or higher mannitol) and salt stress (50 mM NaCl or higher) during germination and seedling development, whereas the etr1-7 mutants displayed enhanced tolerance to the severe stresses (500 mM mannitol or 200 mM NaCl). These results provide physiological and genetic evidence that ethylene receptor ETR1 modulates plant response to abiotic stress. Furthermore, the etr1-1 and etr1-7 mutants showed different responses to exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) inhibition. The etr1-1 mutants were more sensitive to ABA than the wild type during germination, and young seedling development. In sharp contrast, the etr1-7 mutants showed enhanced insensitivity to ABA treatment (>1 μM ABA) in post-germination development including root elongation and greening of cotyledons of the treated seedlings, although the germination was not greatly altered at the tested doses of ABA. The results suggest that ETR1-modulated stress response may mediate ABA. Youning Wang and Tao Wang contributed equally to this report.  相似文献

With the changing climate, plants will be facing increasingly harsh environmental conditions marked by elevated salinity in the soils and elevated concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere. These two factors have opposite effects on water status in plants. Therefore, our objective was to determine the interaction between these two factors and to determine whether elevated [CO2] might alleviate the adverse effects of salt stress on water status in two barley cultivars, Alpha and Iranis, by studying their relative water content and their water potential and its components, transpiration rate, hydraulic conductance, and water use efficiency. Both cultivars maintained their water status under salt stress, increasing water use efficiency and conserving a high relative water content by (1) reducing water potential via passive dehydration and active osmotic adjustment and (2) decreasing transpiration through stomatal closure and reducing hydraulic conductance. Iranis showed a greater capacity to achieve osmotic adjustment than Alpha. Under the combined conditions of salt-stress and elevated [CO2], both cultivars (1) achieved osmotic adjustment to a greater extent than at ambient [CO2], likely due to elevated rates of photosynthesis, and (2) decreased passive dehydration by stomatal closure, thereby maintaining a greater turgor potential, relative water content, and water use efficiency. Therefore, we found an interaction between salt stress and elevated [CO2] with regard to water status in plants and found that elevated [CO2] is associated with improved water status of salt-stressed barley plants.  相似文献
