1. Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase which catalyzes the formationof coproporphyrinogen from uroporphyrinogen is located in thesoluble fraction of tobacco leaves and was purified 72 foldthrough ammonium sulphate precipitation and calcium phosphosphategel absorption. 2. Kinetic studies indicated that the apparentMichaelis constant was 1 ? 10-6 M for uroporphyrinogen III (pH6.5; 37?C). Uroporphyrinogen III served as a much better substratethan uroporphyrinogen I under the standard conditions of thisstudy. 3. Enzyme activity was inhibited by thiol reagents andheavy divalent cations and was stimulated by some chelatingagents. 4. Both chloride and fluoride salts inhibited the formationof coproporphyrinogen from uroporphyrinogen.

Summary The effect of phenological development on the pattern of photosynthate translocation was studied in crested wheatgrass [Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertn.] plants grown in a nursery under semi-natural environmental conditions at Logan, Utah. Radiophosphorus was used to trace the photosynthate translocation from April 13, 1968, through December 2, 1968.In early spring photosynthates were translocated about equally to the roots and younger leaves. Translocation was chiefly upward during the flower stage but was reversed with raturation of the inflorescence. In late summer the plants appeared quiescent but substantial 32P was transported to the underground portions of the plant. After quiescence was broken in the fall, shoot and root growth were resumed simultaneously with peak 32P movement to the crown and roots.The concentration of total available carbohydrates in the roots and crowns reached a maximum level just prior to quiescence and decreased during shoot production in the fall. Presumably, the carbohydrates were used in growth and the accumulation of carbohydrates for the winter is apparently not critical in crested wheatgrass. Since the plants have many basal leaves throughout the winter, they may have the capacity to carry out photosynthesis on warm, sunny winter days and are capable of immediately initiating growth in the spring.Utah Agricultural Experiment Station Paper 1074. 相似文献

Crested wheatgrass is an important cool-season grass that has become naturalized in many semiarid regions of the western U.S. It provides ground cover and reduces soil erosion caused by water and wind. Additionally, crested wheatgrass produces important forage for livestock and wildlife on 6 to 8 million hectars of western rangeland. It is well adapted to semiarid cold desert regions because of its cool temperature growth and drought tolerance. Understanding the biosynthesis of fructans in crested wheatgrass is important because of their likely role in both cool temperature growth and drought tolerance. Recent research described a major gene (6-SFT) in crested wheatgrass that is involved in fructan biosynthesis. 1-kestotriose, the major DP3 fructan in crested wheatgrass, serves as the substrate for the two major DP4 fructans, 1&6-kestotetraose and 1,1-kestotetraose. The three major DP5 fructans are 1&6,1-kestopentaose, 1,1&6-kestopentaose and 1,1,1-kestopentaose. The major DP6 fructan is 1&6, 1&6-kestohexaose. We postulate that 1&6,1&6-kestohexaose is synthesized from the addition of a fructose to 1&6, 1-kestopentaose. This paper provides structures of the various DP 3, 4, 5 and 6 fructan types produced by crested wheatgrass and provides suggested biosynthetic pathways for all major fructan linkage types present. 相似文献

Gel electrophoresis studies of proteins from leaves of photoperiodically induced and vegetative cocklebur plants 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Comparisons of proteins synthesized in photoperiodically-sensitiveleaves of induced and vegetative cocklebur plants were made.Fifteen or more protein bands could be separated by polyacrylamidegel electrophoresis when polyvinylpyrrolidone was used in theextracting buffer to remove phenolics. As contrasted to resultsof others with Pharbilis nil, no differences in stained bandingpatterns could be detected in vegetative and induced plants.Radioactive leucine, lysine and phenylalanine were incorporatedinto similar leaf proteins during the last half of an inductivedark period. These experiments and dual-labeling studies with3H- and 14C-phenylalanine indicated no consistent differencesin the types of extracted proteins synthesized by leaves ofvegetative and induced plants.

Three field grown Agropyron spp. (crested wheatgrasses) and two Thinopyrum spp. (intermediate and tall wheatgrasses) were evaluated for anther culture response. Hormonally modified potato extract and 85D12 media induced pollen embryogenesis. Modified Murashige and Skoog media were tested for their effects on callus proliferation and plantlet regeneration. Callus induction frequency and plantlet production were highest (25.0% and 45.8%, respectively) for Thinopyrum ponticum (2N=70) (tall wheatgrass). One-hundred and nine albino plantlets were produced from T. ponticum Jose both by direct regeneration on 85D12 medium and through a callus phase from potato extract media. This is the first report of plantlet production from anther culture of a Triticeae perennial forage grass. Further experimentation with environmental and cultural conditions may result in the production of green plantlets.Abbreviations MS

The thermal dependence of two of the reactions catalyzed bythe nitrate reductase from Chlorella vulgaris was determined.The activation energies for NADH:nitrate oxidoreductase (EC1.6.6.1
[EC]
) and NADH:Cytochrome c oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.99.3
[EC]
)are 42.1 kJ?mol1 and 21.5 kJ?mol1, respectively.Since the thermal dependency of the two enzymes is different,ratios of the activities will vary with temperature. The importanceof both rigorous thermal control during nitrate reductase assaysas well as the need to specify the temperature at which theratio of activities for the enzyme are clearly established.

Experiments with five caespitose grass species from temperateand tropical environments showed that the number of lateralshoots (tillers) which emerged following defoliation was notincreased by leaving a greater residual leaf area. Increasedavailability of photosynthate (and perhaps other resources)was effective, however, in increasing the rate of growth anddegree of flowering of new lateral shoots in one tropical species,Panicum maximum. In two temperate Agropyron tussock grasses, decapitation (apicalbud removal) did not stimulate lateral shoot growth. This indicatedthat apical dominance was not a factor preventing growth oflateral buds just prior to inflorescence emergence on the parenttillers. However, defoliation, where both terminal buds andfoliage were removed from the parent tillers stimulated lateralbud growth. Hormones other than those produced by the apicalbud or light quality or intensity may control lateral bud growthin these species. In contrast to the temperate species, lateralbud growth was stimulated by both decapitation and defoliationin the three tropical species. This response is consistent withthe model of correlative inhibition by apical dominance.

Fructan: fructan fructosyl transferase (FFT), one of the enzymesinvolved in the synthesis of ß-2,1 linked fructosepolymers has been purified 205-fold from tubers of Helianthustuberosus harvested in the accumulation phase. The molecularweight of the native as well as the SDS-denatured protein isapproximately 70 kDa. On IEF, the protein was separated intofive molecular species with pl values between pH 4.55.0.The optimum pH for fructosyl transfer activity was between 5.57.0.Temperature optimum was in the range of 25-35° C; the Q10value between 25 and 5° C was 1.14. FTT catalysed the self-transferof fructosyl groups with GF2, GF3, GF4 or GF5 as substrate andacceptor. The rate of elf-transfer with both GF2 and GF3 increasedlinearly with substrate concentration up to 100 mol m3and was still not saturated at 600 and 300 mol m3, respectively.FFT was unable to hydrolyse GF or to catalyse the self-transferwith GF but could mediate the transfer of fructosyl units frominulin on to GF.

Two contrasting cultivars of Lolium perenne were exposed toa range of daily radiation integrals during hardening at 2°Cfor 15 d. The maximum induced freezing tolerance measured asLT50 (temperature for 50 % kill) differed markedly between thecultivars. The observed LT50 values were unaffected by changesin the radiation integral above 10 mol m2 d1,whereas accumulation of water-soluble carbohydrate showed astrong positive correlation with the radiation integral overthe entire range of the experiment. The correlation betweenLT50 and soluble carbohydrate content at the end of the hardeningperiod was poor and showed no obvious connection with genotype.Fructan polymers and sucrose were the major components of thesoluble carbohydrates in both cultivars. The depression of freezingpoint attributable to the accumulation of soluble, osmoticallyactive carbohydrate was not sufficient to account for the observedchanges in LT50 in the hardy genotype. These results are discussedin relation to the interactions between growth, photosynthesisand assimilate partitioning during hardening.

The invasion by three different Utah populations of Pratylenchus neglectus (UTI, UT2, UT3) was similar in single and interplantings of ''Lahontan'' alfalfa and ''Fairway'' crested wheatgrass at 24 ñ 3 °C. Population UT3 was more pathogenic than UT1 and UT2 on both alfalfa and crested wheatgrass. Inoculum density was positively correlated with an invasion by P. neglectus. Invasions by UT3 at all initial populations (Pi) exceeded that of UT1 and UT2 for both single and interplanted treatments. The greatest reductions in shoot and root weights of alfalfa and crested wheatgrass were at a Pi of 8 P. neglectus/cm³ soil. Pi was negatively correlated with alfalfa and crested wheatgrass shoot and root growth and nematode reproduction. The reproductive factor (Rf) for UT3 exceeded that of UT1 and UT2 in single and interplantings at all inoculum levels. There were no differences in Rfin the Utah populations in single or interplantings. A nematode invasion increased with temperature and was greatest at 30 °C. Population UT3 was more pathogenic than UT1 and UT2 and reduced shoot and root growth at all soil temperatures. Populations UT1 and UT2 reduced shoot and root growth at 20-30 °C. Soil temperature was negatively correlated with shoot and root growth and positively correlated with nematode reproduction. Reproduction of UT3 exceeded that of UT1 and UT2 at all soil temperatures. 相似文献

Significance of Polyamines for Flowering in Spirodela punctata 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Spirodela punctata strain O 5, a quantitative long-day plant,flowers only when ethylene-diamine-di-o-hydroxyphenylaceticacid (EDDHA) or salicylic acid was added to the nutrient medium[Scharfetter et al. (1978) Z. Pflanzenphysiol. 87: 445]. Undersuch conditions, cyclohexylamine and methylglyoxal-bis(guanylhydrazone)(both blockers of polyamine synthesis) inhibited flowering withoutsignificant effects on vegetative growth. Supply of spermidineabolished completely the inhibitor effects, but cannot replacethe EDDHA effect on flowering.

The status of water in soil and vegetation was monitored in a stand of crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum) and a nearby shortgrass steppe during a growing season. This was done to determine if water use and losses were similar among two very different communities in a similar climate. Precipitation was similar throughout the study period for both the crested wheatgrass and native shortgrass communities. However, the native shortgrass community with greater root biomass had consistently greater soil water depletion in the deeper soil horizons than was found in the crested wheatgrass community. Greater depletion of soil water by native shortgrass species suggests that they might be more competitive than crested wheatgrass in a water-limited environment.Crested wheatgrass maintained high leaf water potential early in the season, but lower water potential during the latter part of the growing season as compared with the major species of the shortgrass steppe, blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis) and western wheatgrass (Agropyron smithii). Leaf conductance was lower for crested wheatgrass than for the native grasses during the later part of the growing season. Consequently, seasonal transpiration for crested wheatgrass was lower when compared with blue grama or western wheatgrass. Lower conductance allowed crested wheatgrass to maintain relatively high internal water potential and may have accounted for less soil water use at deeper soil depths during the latter part of the growing season.Water loss through transpiration was less for western wheatgrass than for either blue grama or crested wheatgrass because western wheatgrass had less leaf area. However, western wheatgrass was as efficient as the other species in its use of water. Crested wheatgrass transpired more water than blue grama early in the growing season, but less than either native species for the remainder of the growing season. Estimated seasonal transpiration loss was greater in the shortgrass ecosystem than in the established crested wheatgrass stand. 相似文献

To gain more insight into the relation between plasma membranechanges and cold hardiness in mulberry trees (Morus bombysisKoidz. cv Goroji), biochemical and biophysical changes in theplasma membrane were studied during cold deacclimation in spring.The majority of the changes in the plasma membranes that occurredduring the cold acclimation process in the fall/winter werereversed following deacclimation in the spring. Significantdecreases in phospholipid content, degree of unsaturation inphospholipid fatty acids, and membrane fluidity were observedin the plasma membranes during cold deacclimation. The sterolto phospholipid ratio increased with decreasing cold hardiness.Reverse changes were also detected in the majority of proteinand glycoprotein components. These reversible changes in theplasma membranes are considered to be involved in the mechanismof cold hardiness of plants.

Plant Cell Wall Proteins: Partial Characterization of Maize Wall Proteins With Putative Roles in Auxin-Induced Growth 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Antibodies raised against cell wall proteins inhibited auxin-inducedgrowth of Zea mays L. coleoptile segments. The total complementof proteins isolated from the cell walls of Zea mays seedlingswas fractionated by cation exchange and gel filtration chromatography.A procedure was developed to evaluate these cell wall-proteinfractions for their ability to reverse growth inhibition causeby specific antibody binding. Inhibition of growth was attributedto specific antibody-antigen interaction based on the observationsthat only serum containing antibodies against certain cell wallproteins inhibited growth, that gamma globulins purified fromappropriate serum samples inhibited growth, and that a specificsubfraction of isolated cell wall proteins precipitate the growthinhibiting antibody. Antigens which generated growth inhibitoryantibodies were identified as an acidic group of proteins withapparent relative molecular masses in the range of 2025kDa. This subfraction of cell wall proteins was not effectivein hydrolyzing cell wall polysaccharides. A small amount ofcarbohydrate was found associated with this fraction and mayreflect some degree of glycosylation of some of the proteins

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) (EC 4.1.1.31
[EC]
) assayedin extracts of Panicum maximum Jacq. loses up to 50% of itsactivity after incubation for 60 minutes at 0C while the enzymefrom P. miliaceum L. is completely stable under these conditions.Following dilution at room temperature the enzyme from P. maximumis labile, while that from P. miliaceum is stable. The P. maximumenzyme can be largely stabilized against dilution and againstcold-inactivation by D2O which stabilizes hydrophobic bondsand the compatible solutes proline, betaine and trimethylamine-N-oxide.Mineral ions, previously demonstrated to be protective againstcold inactivation of pyruvate, Pi dikinase from maize, provideno protection of P. maximum PEPC against either cold or dilution.The chaotropic ion SCN- causes partial inactivation of the enzymefrom P. miliaceum in the cold. The possible interrelationshipbetween inactivation by dilution and inactivation by cold isdiscussed. The enzyme from both species, when assayed withoutpreincubation at low temperature, exhibits similar, slightlycurvilinear Arrhenius plots; and no differences were found betweenthe two species in the temperature dependence of photosynthesis.

We analysed the time course of the endogenous free IAA and cytokininlevels in hormone requiring and hormone autotrophic (both transformedand untransformed) Glycine max. L. Merr. cv. Mandarin tissuecultures. The auxin habituated line showed an enhanced endogenous IAAlevel, whereas the IAA as well as the cytokinin concentrationsin the cytokinin habituated line differed not significantlyfrom the non-habituated hormone requiring soybean callus. It were only the auxin habituated cells that could be inducedto fully habituated cells, from which a pale and a green typewas isolated. The phytohormone autotrophic growth of the paletype was sustained by enhanced IAA levels, whereas the greentype was characterised by elevated cytokinin concentrations. These results on the phytohormone content of partially and fullyhabituated soybean calli were compared with soybean crown galllines and discussed in view of the positive effect of exogenouslyapplied cytokinins on the endogenous IAA levels.

Alfalfa is a host of Pratylenchus penetrans and P. neglectus, whereas crested wheatgrass is a host of P. neglectus but not of P. penetrans. In a 120-day greenhouse experiment at 24 ñ 3 C, P. neglectus inhibited the growth of ''Lahontan'' alfalfa and ''Fairway'' crested wheatgrass. There were no differences in persistence and plant growth of alfalfa and crested wheatgrass, or reproduction of P. neglectus, in single plantings of alfalfa (AO) or crested wheatgrass (CWO), or in interplanted alfalfa and crested wheatgrass (ACW) treatments. On alfalfa, P. penetrans inhibited growth and reproduced more than did P. neglectus. Inhibition of plant growth and reproduction of P. penetrans was greater on alfalfa in AO than in ACW treatments. Pratylenchus penetrans did not reproduce on crested wheatgrass, but inhibited growth of crested wheatgrass in interplanted treatments and was avirulent in single planted treatments. Results were similar in a controlled growth chamber experiment at 15, 20, 25, and 30 C. Both nematode species inhibited alfalfa growth at all temperatures, and P. penetrans was more virulent than was P. neglectus to alfalfa at all temperatures and treatments. Plant growth inhibition and reproduction of P. penetrans on alfalfa in single and interplanted treatments were similar at 15-20 C, but were greater in single than in interplanted treatments at 25-30 C. Pratylenchus penetrans was avirulent to crested wheatgrass in the single planted treatments at all temperatures, but inhibited growth of crested wheatgrass in interplanted treatments at 20-30 C. Plant growth and reproduction of P. neglectus on crested wheatgrass was similar in single and interplanted treatments at 20-30 C and 15-30 C, respectively. 相似文献
