The euryhaline charophyte Lamprothamnium papulosum (Wallr.)J. Gr. was adapted to media with decreasing salinities rangingfrom 550 to 0 mosmol kg1. Vegetative plants grown inmedia with osmotic pressures (0) in the range of 550 to 130mosmol kg1 maintained a constant turgor pressure () at309 + 7 mosmol kg1. The ions K+, Na+ and Cl, werethe predominant solutes in the vacuole. Changes in their concentrationsaccount for the variation in internal osmotic pressure (1) with,0. The divalent ions Mg2+, Ca2+ and were also present in significant amounts, but their concentrationsdid not alter with changes in, 0. In cells subjected to hypo-osmotic shock the regulation of was incomplete. The turgor pressure increased from 302 to 383mosmol kg1. The first rapid response to the sudden decreasein 0 was a loss of K+ and Cl. In contrast to the decreasein ionic concentrations an accumulation of sucrose occurredwhich could account for the increase of . The increase in sucroseconcentration started 24 to 48 h after the downshock and reachedits highest value after 3 to 4 weeks. The sucrose concentrationin the vacuole was up to 320 mol m3. During this timethe ionic content continued to decrease but did not counterbalancethe sucrose concentration sufficiently to regain the original. High sucrose levels accompanied by an enhanced were also observedduring the period of fructification (sexual reproduction: formationof antheridia and oogonia) in Lamprothamnium kept under conditionsof constant salinity. It is concluded that high sucrose content and elevated arecharacteristic of sexual reproduction in this charophyte. Lamprothamniumis able to tolerate different during various developmentalstages (e.g. vegetative and reproductive phases). Key words: Lamprothamnium papulosum, sucrose, turgor pressure 相似文献

The Role of Glutamate Decarboxylase and {gamma}-Aminobutyric Acid in Germinating Barley 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The variations in glutamate decarboxylase activity and in glutamicacid and -ABA concentration have been measured in barley embryosduring the uptake of water and in the roots and shoots for upto 6 days of growth. Glutamate decarboxylase activity was relativelysteady in the embryos during soaking but rose rapidly once growthbegan. This development paralleled an increase in the concentrationof glutamic acid in both roots and shoots at a time when theconcentration of -ABA was falling. During soaking in aeratedwater, the -ABA content of the embryos rose for 36 h, at whichpoint it accounted for 35 per cent of the soluble amino acids.-ABA was found to be a major free amino acid in roots but notin shoots. Experiments in vivo involving 14C-labelled glutamicacid and -ABA indicated that carbon from -ABA passed very rapidlyinto the citric-acid cycle intermediates and also that, throughoutthe period studied, -ABA was formed from glutamic acid despitethe alterations in relative concentrations of these amino acidsin the growing tissue. 相似文献

In recent years alternative ways have been proposed to transformmeasurements of leaf water potential, , and relative water content,R*, in order to derive values of osmotic pressure at full turgidityin leaves and shoots, o(when 0). Two types of transformationsare usually considered: 1/ versus R* and versus 1/R*, and linearregression is used to fit the data in the region where turgoris thought to be zero. It appears that when o is estimated bylinear extrapolation of 1/Psi; versus R* then apoplastic watermight not influence the accuracy of o but when the versus \/R*transformation is used apoplastic water causes an underestimateof o. We examine the accuracy of the estimate of o obtainedfrom the two transformations when there are random errors in, systematic errors in , and when the osmotic solutions arenon-ideal. The 1/ versus R* transformation generally producesthe best estimate of 0 by linear extrapolation. 相似文献

Measurements of tonoplast resistance for unit area, T were carriedout by four methods. The T values obtained by two of these methods,when taking into account a correction for leakage current, were0.024 and 0.010 k cm2. The other two methods, which made itpossible to neglect leakage current, gave the T values of 0.036and 0.021 k cm2. Thus, the mean value of tonoplast resistancein the investigated cells of Nitellopsis obtusa was 0.023 kcm2, while the measurements in which leakage current was nottaken into account gave the value 10.6 k cm2. The results obtainedin this study indicate the fact that leakage current significantlyaffects measurements of tonoplast resistance and that the truevalue of that resistance is smaller by two or three orders ofmagnitude than that usually reported. 相似文献

The Relationship Between Transpiration Rate, Water Potential, and Resistances to Water Movement in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The effects of transpiration rate on the vertical gradientsof leaf and stem xylem water potential ( and ) were examinedusing hydroponic sunflower plants. Transpiration was variedby stepwise alterations of environmental conditions. The gradientsof and were relatively small (2.3 and 0.8 x 105 Pa m1)when transpiration rates approached zero, but increased sharplyto 5.4 and 2.3 x 105 Pa m1 as transpiration increased.However, the gradients were independent of transpiration ratesabove 0.4 g dm2 h1 owing to variability of theplant resistance. The gradients of I were usually less thanhalf those of I. 1 in individual leaves remained constant over a wide range oftranspiration rates (0.42.4 g dm2 h1) andeach leaf possessed a characteristic plateau value related toits elevation. I responded similarly but was approximately 2.0x 105 Pa higher than I at the same elevation. Identical resultswere obtained regardless of the procedure employed to vary transpiration. The drop in water potential between stem and leaf implies thatthe leaf resistance is appreciable. This was confirmed usingrapidly transpiring excised leaves freely supplied with water.I increased by 2.02.5 x 105 Pa following removal of theroot resistance but remained 2 x 105 Pa lower than similar excisedleaves in darkness. Furthermore, I in excised leaves remainedconstant over a wide range of transporting rates, demonstratingthat the leaf resistance is also variable. The results are discussed in relation to previous reports. 相似文献

Nucleoside triphosphate(NTP)-binding proteins were detectedin the crude extract of mycelia of Neurospora crassa, whichwas treated with 1% Lubrol PX and fractionated by gel filtration.Protein fractions showing the capacity to bind [35S]ATPS or[35S]GTPS were designated as AGN1 to 6. The binding of [35S]ATPSor [35S]GTPS was prevented in the presence of 0.1 mM ATP orGTP except that in fractions AGN1 and 2, the presence of GTPstimulated the binding of [35S] ATPS to ATP(NTP)-binding proteins.ATP or GTP was 1 to 2 orders of magnitude more effective thanCTP or UTP in preventing the binding of [35S]GTPS in AGN1, 2and 5. Among these fractions AGN1, 2, 5 and 6 showed activityto hydrolyze 1 nM [32P]ATP or [32P]GTP. NTP-bindingproteins bound with [35S]ATPS or [35S]GTPS had lower apparentmolecular weights than the same proteins without bound nucleotide.Proteins bound with [35S]ATPS or [35S]GTPS and those [32P]ADP-ribosylatedby endogenous ADP-ribosyl transferase in each fraction wereanalyzed by SDS-PAGE. About 20 species of ATP or ATP-GTP-bindingproteins were detected, several of which were ADP-ribosylated.The binding of [35S]ATPS or [35S]GTPS to NTP-binding proteinswas confirmed by the comparison of non-boiled and boiled samplesimmediately before loading to SDS-PAGE. ATP, GTP, CTP or UTPat the concentration of 0.1 mM effectively removed [33S]ATPSor [35S]GTPS bound to NTP-binding proteins. (Received December 10, 1990; Accepted April 18, 1991) 相似文献

Aspects of the water relations of spring wheat (Triticum aestivumL.) are described for cultivars Highbury (low ABA) and TW269/9(high ABA), and low and high ABA accumulating F6selections derivedfrom a cross between them. In a pot experiment, pressure-volume (P-V) curves were constructedfor main stem leaf four (MSL4) of well-watered plants of Highburyand TW269/9. Estimates of solute potential (2) from these curveswere similar for the two cultivars, but varied with the timeof sampling and the time allowed for hydration in dim light. In a field experiment with four low and four high ABA F6lines,P-V curves for flag leaves from both droughted and irrigatedplants gave at both zero turgor (p) and zero water potential(1) which differed with degree of stress, sampling time andgenotype. 1was strongly dependent on the initialL of the leafand was reduced on average by c. 0.4 MPa per MPa decline ininitial L.5, was lower (more negative) by c. 0.1-MPa in theafternoon than in the morning. Overall, was also 0.1 MPa lowerin low ABA lines than in high ABA lines. In another field experiment, flag leaves of five low and fivehigh ABA F6lines were sampled over a 4 week period from droughtedplots and L and 5, measured (the latter by osmometry with expressedsap). For these leaves 5, at zero p or zero L was consistentlylower by 0.30.5 MPa than estimates of 5, from the P-Vcurves with flag leaves. However, data for the low ABA lineswere again lower (by c. 0.1 MPa) than those for high ABA lines. The consequences of these differences in 1 are discussed inrelation to the stimulation of ABA accumulation in low and highABA selections.

The effects of -hydroxy-2-pyridinemethanesulphonic acid (-HPMS)upon net photosynthesis (Pn, the CO2 compensation point (),post-lower illumination burst of CO2 (PLIB) and post-lower temperatureburst of CO2 (PLTB) in detached rye (Secale cereale L.) leaveswere investigated. At low concentrations ( 0.5 mol m3),-HPMS initially stimulated Pn and decreased the magnitude ofboth PLIB and PLTB. The decreased at all concentrations of-HPMS (0.055.0 mol m3. The effects of -HPMS onPn and were time-dependent and, after a few minutes, the Pnwas inhibited while values increased considerably. At a higherconcentration (5.0 mol m 3), the transient effects of-HPMS were shorter () or not observed at all (Pn. Both PLIBand PLTB, when expressed in relation to Pn, increased at higherlevels of this compound. Similar data with respect to the effectsof -HPMS on PLIB and PLTB were found for leaves of dandelion(Taraxacum officinale L.). The results suggest that -HPMS may stimulate Pn by inhibitingphotorespiration, as originally suggested by Zelitch (1966),but only at low concentrations and over a short time span. Thedecrease of PLIB and PLTB values at low -HPMS levels is consistentwith these processes being a residual activity of the glycolatepathway.

Information on the biological activities of gibberellins (GAs)in the barley aleurone, Tangin-bozu dwarf rice, dwarf pea, lettucehypocotyl and cucumber hypocotyl bioassays is reviewed and discussedin the context of GA structure-activity relationships. The barley aleurone bioassay exhibits a limited response toGAs and it is suggested that this may be because the aleuronecells are able to carry out few GA interconversions. Consequentlyactivity is determined by the degree of compatibility betweenthe GAs and a receptor site. In this assay high biological activityis associated with GAs having a 3ß-hydroxy--lactonestructure. This activity is substantially enhanced by the additionalpresence of a 13-hydroxyl group. The substitution of a -lactoneor a -lactol for a -lactone results in reduced activity while3ß,13-dihydroxy GAs with either 20-carboxyl or 20-methylfunctions are completely inactive. The Tanginbozu dwarf ricebioassay responds to many more GAs than the barley aleuronesystem possibly because the rice seedlings can carry out extensiveGA interconversions. Under these circumstances GAs that areinactive per se can be metabolically converted to active forms.There is no interaction between the 3ß- and 13-hydroxyfunctions of GA molecules in the rice assay. Activity appearsto be determined by the degree oxidation of the C-20 group.The order of activity is usually -lactone > -lactol >-lactone > methyl > carboxyl. It is suggested this mayindicate that in rice seedlings C20-GAs are converted to C19-GAsvia a Baeyer-Villiger type oxidation. Activity in the dwarfpea bioassay is dependent upon GAs possessing both 3ß-and 13-hydroxyl groups and is again related to the state ofoxidation at the C-20 locus. In the lettuce bioassay activityis restricted to GAs with a -lactone function. In some instancesa -lactone, but not a -lactol, can substitute effectively. Thismay imply that the applied C20-GAs are not converted to C19-GAsand that the response to the -lactone results from the six-memberedring mimicking the -lactone at the receptor site. Only GAs havinga 19,10 or a 19,20 lactonic bridge show substantial activityin the cucumber bioassay. The additional presence of eithera 12- or a 13-hydroxyl group severely reduces activity. 相似文献

An error occurs in the calibration of xylem pressure potential() against leaf-water potential () when the calibration is madeusing plant material in which the water stress has been inducedartificially after excision. The impostion of water stress afterexcision affects the determination more than it affects , consequentlythe relationship between these two indices of water stress isaltered. Care should be exercised to ensure that identical proceduresare adopted during . calibrations and during susbsequent fieldmeasurements of with the pressure-chamber apparatus. 相似文献

Smith, J. R. 1987. Potassium transport across the membranesof Chara. II. 42K fluxes and the electrical current as a functionof membrane voltage.J. exp. Bot. 38: 752777. The current required to clamp the trans-membrane voltage ofinternodal cells of Chara australis at different levels wasmeasured simultaneously with either the 42K influx or efflux.Examination of the voltage-dependence of the ratio of the electricalcurrent to the unidirectional tracer fluxes yielded no evidenceof any amplification of the electrical driving force on theK+ ions. There was thus no evidence for the interaction of K+ions with themselves or any other species during their passageacross the membrane. These measurements allow the determinationof , the fraction of the electrical current carried by K+ ions.When the external [K+] = 10 mol m3, the average valueof was 0?85 for Vm > 125 mV and 07?5 for Vm <150 mV. When the external [K+] = 0?1 mol m3, was 0?6 for Vm < 80 mV and 0?1 for Vm > 250mV. It was also found that the conductance associated with K+transport was inhibited by hyperpolarization.

Plants of four cultivars of Phaseolus vulgaris L. differingin drought resistance were grown in pots under greenhouse conditionsand prior to flowering water was withheld from the pots untilthe mid-day transpiration rate reached values below 1.0 µgH2O cm2 s1 (designated the droughtstage). At this point leaves were harvested on 3 or 4 occasionsover 24 h to determine the abscisic acid (ABA) concentration,total water potential (), solute potential (1) and turgor potential(p). Results showed that values of , 1, and p differed between cultivarswhen they reached the drought stage. The stomatalsensitivity to changes in and p, was as follows: Michoacán12A3 > Negro 150 Cacahuate 72 > Flor de Mayo. These datacorrelated well with the pattern of drought resistance reportedfor the cultivars. ABA accumulation at the drought stage differedbetween cultivars at each sampling time, but overall differencesin ABA level between cultivars were not significant. ABA levelsdid not, therefore, correlate with the drought resistance propertiesreported for the cultivars. Results are discussed in relationto and hour of the day when bean samples were taken for ABAanalysis. Key words: Phaseolus vulgaris L., drought resistance, abscisic acid 相似文献

The Meaning of Matric Potential 总被引:6,自引:1,他引:5
The commonly used equation, = P - + , which describes thepartitioning of plant water potential, , into components ofhydrostatic pressure, P, osmotic pressure, , and matric potential,, is misleading. The term , which is supposed to show the influenceof a solid phase on , is zero if a consistent definition ofpressure is used in the standard thermodynamic derivation. However,it can be usefully defined by = + D, where D is the osmoticpressure of the equilibrium dialysate of the system. The practicaland theoretical significance of this definition is discussed. 相似文献

Subunits (, ß, ) and mixtures of subunits ( ß, , ß , ß ) were isolated without denaturationfrom a chloroform extract of chloroplast coupling factor 1 (CF1)from maize (Zea mays var. Ushiku 5-4) and from spinach by fastprotein liquid chromatography (FPLC), on an anion-exchange columnof Mono-Q in the presence of n-octylglucoside (OG) and on achromatofocusing column of Mono-P. The ß -subunitcomplex (CF1 ß ) was the minimum unit required forATPase activity, as was confirmed by the reconstituted complexof ß and subunits. An subunit isolated from maizeinhibited the ATPase activity of CF1 ß from bothmaize and spinach. CF1 ß was found to contain anOG-dependent Mg2+-ATPase. The ATPase activity of CF1 ß required divalent cations, such as Mg2+ or Mn2+, for its expressionin the presence of OG; its optimum pH was 8.0 and it was markedlyinhibited by NaN3. The enzyme hydrolyzed ATP in prefernece toGTP but not CTP, UTP, ADP, AMP or pNPP. Lineweaver-Burk plotsof its activity were curvilinear in the range of 0.60.7mM ATP.Mg2+.

Changes in components of leaf water potential during soil waterdeficits influence many physiological processes. Research resultsfocusing on these changes during desiccation of peanut (Arachishypogeae L.) leaves are apparently not available. The presentstudy was conducted to examine the relationships of leaf waterl, solute s and turgor p potentials, and percent relative watercontent (RWC) of peanut leaves during desiccation of detachedleaves and also during naturally occurring soil moisture deficitsin the field. The relationship of p to l and RWC was evaluated by calculatingp from differences in l and s determined by thermocouple psychrometryand by constructing pressure-volume (P-V) curves from the land RWC measurements. Turgor potentials of Early Bunchand Florunner leaves decreased to zero at l of1.2 to 1.3 MPa and RWC of 87%. There were no cultivardifferences in the l at which p became zero. P-V curves indicatedthat the error of measuring s after freezing due to dilutionof the cellular constituents was small but resulted in artefactualnegative p values. Random measurements on two dates of l, s, and calculation ofp from well-watered and water-stressed field plots consistingof several genotypes indicated that zero p occurred at l of1.6 MPa. It was concluded that the relationships of p,l, s, and RWC of peanut leaves were similar to leaves of othercrops and that these relationships conferred no unique droughtresistance mechanism to peanut. 相似文献

By analysing the relationship between inverse water potential(1), and relative water content (RWC) measured on leavesof roses (Rosa hybrida cv. Sonia), grown soilless, it was foundthat a non-linear (NL) model was better suited than a linearmodel to reproduce values observed in the non-turgid region.To explain this apparent curvature, it is assumed that a reductionof the non-osmotic water fraction (Ap) takes place when decreases.Osmotic potentials () measured on fresh and frozen leaf discstend to support this hypothesis. A method for exploiting PVcurves, which takes into account the variation of Ap, is described.It delivers values for the turgor pressure (p), the relativeosmotic water content, and the mean bulk volumetric elasticitycoefficient, lower than those given by the linear model. Onthe other hand, it gives higher estimates for Ap and for . Whenapplying the traditional model to obtain estimates for waterrelations characteristics of rose leaves, and comparing resultsfrom two distinct salinity treatments (electrical conductivitiesof 1·8 mS cm1 and 3·8 mS cm1, respectively),one deduces a significant reduction of at turgor-loss in thehigh salinity treatment. The NL method is, in addition, ablesimultaneously to reveal a reduction of and a significant increasein p at RWC=100% this proves that soillessgrown roseplants are able to osmoregulate when subjected to a constantand relatively high degree of salinity.

Changes in the concentrations of K+ and Cl occur in parallelduring turgor regulation, and account for the changes in osmoticpressure. Thus it is impossible to single out one ion whoseconcentration is directly controlled by a turgor regulatorymechanism. After an increase in external osmolality (o) of 400mosmol kg1, turgor is restored to its normal value in45 d. The response to a decrease in o is much more rapid,with most of the change in 1 occurring in the first 2 h. Apparentcytoplasmic concentrations of sucrose are similar to vacuolarconcentrations, and increase slightly with increasing 1. 相似文献

The amino-acid metabolism of groundnut plants has been studiedwith special reference to -methyleneglutamic acid (-MGA) andy-methyleneglutamine (-MG), constituents not found in the greatmajority of plant species. The sequence in which C14 from radioactive C14-carbon dioxideenters the amino-acids of leaves was determined. The patternof labelling was very similar to that found for leaves of otherspecies. The metabolic relationships existing between photosynthesisand amino-acid synthesis therefore do not seem to be affectedby the large quantities of -MGA and -MG present in the leaves.-MGA and -MG only gained traces of radioactivity. Experiments designed to study the incorporation of C14 fromuniformly labelled C14-alanine into the amino-acids of roots,immature leaves and cotyledons of seedlings and young plantsindicated that the main site of synthesis of -MGA was the cotyledons. Various CI4-labelled substrates were fed to germinating seedsand, after a period of growth, the specific activities of theamino-acids of seedlings receiving different treatments weredetermined. Comparison of the specific activities enabled certaindeductions to be made concerning the probable biosynthetic pathwaysleading to -MGA and -MG. The results were consistent with theintact incorporation of pyruvate molecules, or another related3-carbon-atom containing compound, into -MGA. 相似文献

Effects of Priming and Endosperm Integrity on Seed Germination Rates of Tomato Genotypes: II. GERMINATION AT REDUCED WATER POTENTIAL 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Seed germination rates (GR =inverse of time to germination)are sensitive to genetic, environmental, and physiological factors.We have compared the GR of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)seeds of cultivar T5 to those of rapidly germinating L. esculentumgenotypes PI 341988 and PI 120256 over a range of water potential(). The influence of seed priming treatments and removal ofthe endosperm/testa cap enclosing the radicle tip on germinationat reduced were also assessed. Germination time-courses atdifferent 's were analysed according to a model that identifieda base, or minimum, allowing germination of a specific percentage(g) of the seed population (b(g)), and a hydrotime constant(H) indicating the rate of progress toward germination per MPa.h.The distribution of b(g) determined by probit analysis was characterizedby a mean base (b) and the standard deviation in b among seeds(b). The three derived parameters, b, b) and H, were sufficientto predict the time-courses of germination of intact seeds atany . A normalized time-scale for comparing germination responsesto reduced is introduced. The time to germination at any (tg())can be normalized to be equivalent to that observed in water(tg(0)) according to the equation tg(0)=[l(/b(g))]tg().PI 341988 seeds were more tolerant of reduced and had a morerapid GR than T5 seeds due to both a lower b and a smaller H.The rapid germination of PI 120256, on the other hand, couldbe attributed entirely to a smaller H. Seed priming (6 d in1.2 MPa polyethylene glycol 8000 solution at 20 ?C followedby drying) increased GR at all >b(g), but did not lower theminimum allowing germination; i.e. priming reduced H withoutlowering b. Removing the endosperm/testa cap (cut seeds) markedlyincreased GR and lowered the mean required to inhibit germinationby 0.7 to 0.9 MPa. However, this resulted primarily from downwardadjustment in b during the incubation of cut seeds at low inthe test solutions. The difference in b between intact and cutseeds incubated at high was much less (0.l MPa), indicatingthat at the time of radicle protrusion, the endosperm had weakenedto the point where it constituted only a small mechanical barrier.In the intact seed, endosperm weakening and the downward adjustmentin embryo b ceased at < 0.6 MPa, while the reductionin H associated with priming proceeded down to at least 1.2MPa. Based on these data and on the pressure required to pushthe embryos from the seeds at various times after imbibition,it appears that the primary effect of priming was to shortenthe time required for final endosperm weakening to occur. However,as priming increased GR even in cut seeds, priming effects onthe embryo may control the rate of endosperm weakening.

An aggregated gliadin fraction was prepared by gel filtrationon Sephacryl S300 in a solvent containing 6.0 M guanidine hydrochloride.This was reduced, alkylated, and separated by ion exchange chromatography.SDS-PAGE of the resulting fraction showed a number of polypeptides,mostly with apparent M1s of around 44 000. The amino acid compositionwas similar to those reported previously for monomeric -, ß-and -gliadins. Automated amino acid sequencing from the N-terminusalso showed the presence of sequence types characteristic of-, ß-, and -gliadins, but the major sequence typewas not related to any described previously. This sequence wasNH2-Ser-His-Ile-Pro-Gly-Leu-Glu-Arg-Pro-Ser-Gln-Gln-Gln-Gln-Leu-. Key words: Wheat, Gluten, Gliadin, Seed 相似文献
