Investigations have been made on the changes in the levels ofprotochlorophyll, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b in relationto the kinetin induced expansion of isolated pumpkin cotyledonsin the presence and absence of chloramphenicol. It has been shown that rise in pigment level keeps pace withexpansion growth of the cotyledons. Kinetin markedly promotes the synthesis of protochlorphyll withoutmuch affecting the rate of its photoreduction to chlorophyll. Chloramphenicol strongly inhibits the development of both chlorophylla and b. The inhibition seems to be due to its interferenceboth with the synthesis of protochlorophyll and its subsequentconversion to chlorophyll. The inhibitory effect of chloramphenicol on the formation ofchlorophyll a is greater than on that of chlorophyll b, suggestingthereby the probability of divergent pathways for the formationof the two chlorophylls.

Etiolated cotyledons of squash (Cucurbita moschata Duch. var.melonaeformis Makino cv. Tokyo) treated with kinetin, KCl orfusicoccin in the dark increased both transpiration in the darkand chlorophyll synthesis after exposure to light. The minimumperiod of kinetin treatment to stimulate transpiration was similarto that to accelerate chlorophyll synthesis. On the other hand,treatment of cotyledons with vaseline or abscisic acid markedlyinhibited both transpiration and chlorophyll synthesis, suggestingthat cytokinin-induced stimulation of chlorophyll synthesiscould be mediated through the effect on the stomatal opening.

The plastids of young dark-grown bean leaves, exposed to periodiclight are agranal, devoid of chlorophyll b and contain primarythylakoids and chlorophyll a. Transfer of these plants to continuousillumination results in synthesis of new chlorophyll a, chlorophyllb and grana. This study was done in order to study whether andhow the grana are formed from preexisting primary thylakoids.14C--aminolevulinic acid was used to label the chlorophyll aof the primary thylakoids, and its fate was studied after transferof the plants to continuous light. It was found that chlorophyll b and grana become 14C-labelled.The total radioactivity of chlorophyll b per bean increasedwith the parallel decrease of that of chlorophyll a. All subchloroplastfractions, obtained after digitonin disruption of chloroplasts,contained chlorophyll a of equal specific radioactivity. Thespecific radioactivity of chlorophyll b was lower than thatof chlorophyll a, and, in addition, it was lower in the granathan in the stroma lamellae fraction. The data suggest that chlorophyll b is formed from chlorophylla; the grana are formed by stacking of preexisting primary thylakoids;chlorophyll b is synthesized faster in the grana than the stromalamellae; the newly formed chlorophyll a molecules are distributedat random throughout the developing photosynthetic membraneand not on specific growing sites.

Penicillin stimulated the synthesis of pigments in the cotyledonsof intact embryos and excised cotyledons of mung bean (Phaseolusaureus L.) and enhanced benzyladenine-induced accumulation ofchloroplast pigments. The presence of the embryonic axis duringlight exposure proved to be beneficial for chlorophyll synthesisby the cotyledons whereas its presence in dark germination producedan adverse effect. The possible involvement of nucleic acidand protein synthesis in light-regulated chlorophyll formationis suggested. The stimulating effect on pigment synthesis providedby penicillin in this system seems to involve a maintenanceof nucleic acid and protein synthesis.

The spores of Anabaena doliolum formed in light (light spores)and after transfer to darkness (dark spores) are biochemicallydifferent in that the light spores contain chlorophyll a andphycocyanin, while dark spores seem to lack them. The apparentbiosyntheses accompanying dark-spore germination seem to proceedin the following order: RNA, chlorophyll a, phycocyanin andDNA. Results of chloramphenicol treatment indicate that proteinsynthesis precedes RNA synthesis. The biosynthetic events followingRNA synthesis show a requirement for light. 相似文献

The changes in the average cell composition of the green algaPlatymonas striata Butcher have been determined during a singlecell cycle in synchronous culture induced by an alternatinglight/dark regime. The cells divided into two at the onset ofdarkness, but remained attached until exposed to light 10 hlater. There appeared to be virtually no net synthesis of constituentsduring the dark period. On exposure to light most components(apart from DNA) showed some continuing net synthesis, but inthe majority of cases there was a short part of this light syntheticperiod in which there was very active net synthesis. The activesynthetic period was frequently immediately prior to the onsetof division. DNA synthesis occurred only in the 6 h precedingdivision. The major period of net protein synthesis occurredwhilst the divided cells were separating, at the commencementof the light period. The other factors studied were RNA, carbohydrate,chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids, phospholipids, acid-solublecompounds, and phosphorus uptake. The results are discussed. 相似文献

Regeneration of photosynthetic activity and phycobilin pigmentswas studied with cells of Anabaena variabilis lacking photosystemII activity and phycobilin pigments. Regeneration was achievedonly when the cells were incubated in the presence of nitrateor nitrite. The addition of ammonium salts or urea was far lesseffective. Nitrate-directed regeneration was independent oflight and inhibited by chlorate. Dark-regenerated cells, however,differed from light-regenerated ones in that the former wereincapable of excitation transfer from phycocyanin to pigmentsystemII chlorophyll a, although they emitted fluorescence of pigmentsystem II chlorophyll a origin, if illuminated by the lightabsorbed by chlorophyll. The regeneration process inAnabaenacells is assumed to consist of two steps: [1] light-independent,nitratesupported synthesis of phycobilin pigments and photosystemII integrity, followed by [2] light-directed formation of excitationtransfer from phycocyanin to pigment system II chlorophyll a.An antibiotic study revealed that the former is associated withprotein synthesis, while the latter isnot.

The changes in chlorophyll-protein complexes (CPs) in cucumbercotyledons during illumination and subsequent dark incubationwere studied by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Whenetiolated cucumber seedlings were illuminated, chlorophyll wassynthesized and CPs were formed. In the early phase of greening(6 h of illumination), light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-proteincomplex (LHCP) was the main GP. As the greening proceeded, P700chlorophyll a-protein complex (CP1) accumulated. When 6-h illuminatedseedlings were transferred to darkness, CP1 accumulated concomitantlywith a decrease in LHCP without new chlorophyll synthesis. Thechanges in the amounts of CPs in the dark became smaller withthe progress of greening and were not observed after 72 h ofillumination. These changes were confirmed by examining thechlorophyll/P700 ratio and the low temperature absorption spectrumof cotyledons. These results suggest that in the early phaseof greening, CPs were unstable and their chlorophyll moleculeseasily exchanged with those of other kinds of CPs.

In 5-day-old etiolated Sorghum seedlings, red light irradiationfor 1 s enhanced carotenoid and chlorophyll accumulation, and5 min of red light treatment saturated the photoresponse. Thedegree of red/far-red photoreversibility of carotenoid accumulationwas dependent on the age of the plant. No significant escapefrom far-red reversibility was observed up to 30 min after theonset of a saturating red light pulse in 5-day-old etiolatedseedlings. Thereafter, the escape was relatively fast and completedwithin 180 min. Sorghum bicolor L, carotenogenesis, phytochrome, time dependence, chlorophyll synthesis 相似文献

Effects of an inserted dark incubation on light-induced chlorophyllsynthesis in dark grown Chlamydomonai reinhardtii y-1 cellswere studied. Chlorophyll synthesis in cells with the interposeddark incubation proceeded faster than that in cells withoutthe dark incubation when it was inserted within 2.5 hr afterthe onset of illumination. Within this limit, the longer theinitial illumination given, the shorter was the length of darkincubation required to obtain a maximum rate of chlorophyllsynthesis. However, when the dark incubation was provided laterthan 2.5 hr, the rate of subsequent chlorophyll synthesis wasreduced. Since cells responded to the dark treatment in differentmanners before and after the 2.5 hr point, this time was designatedas the transition point. This 2.5 hr period corresponds to thelength of the regular lag phase in chlorophyll synthesis undercontinuous illumination. Based on these results, the nature of the previously postulatedpromoting factor (P-factor) in chlorophyll synthesis is discussed. (Received June 13, 1972; ) 相似文献

Alterations in Pigment Content in Leaves of Pisum sativum After Exposure to Supplementary UV-B 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Pea plants were either illuminated with visible light supplementedwith ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation for five days, or transferredback to control light after short exposures (hours) to UV-B.Spectra of NaOH-extracted pigments from UV-B-exposed plantsshowed a decrease in absorption in the visible region and anincrease in the UV region: the former a consequence of the lossof chlorophyll, the latter probably due to induced synthesisof protective pigments. The decrease in chlorophyll absorptionwas an earlier event than the increase in UV absorption. Inextracts from plants which had recovered, the increase in UVabsorption was greater than in leaves subjected to three daysof UV-B. This stresses the importance of recovery from UV-Bfor extensive synthesis of protective pigments. Analysis oftetrapyrrolic pigments showed that UV-B treatment caused noallomerization of chlorophylls. Formation of chlorophyllidesa and b was greatly enhanced during the degradation of chlorophylls;however, the concentrations of chlorophyllides were three ordersof magnitude lower than those of the chlorophylls and did notincrease greatly as chlorophyll degradation progressed. No protoporphyrinIX, uro- or copro-porphyrins III were detected, which suggeststhat early steps in chlorophyll synthesis are not affected byUV-B light.

Cells of the mutant C-2A' of Scenedesmus obliquus which requirelight for chlorophyll formation were assayed for in vivo activityof ALA synthesis. In general, ALA and chlorophyll syntheseswere coupled during the greening process. The action spectrafor ALA and chlorophyll syntheses both show the highest activitiesin the blue region, but were different in details. Under certainconditions, ALA synthesis occurred without a corresponding synthesisof chlorophyll. Reasons for these variances were discussed. The controlling action of light on ALA synthesis may occur throughthree different, but related, mechanisms. The principle mechanismappeared to be linked to lightenhanced respiration since itsinhibition by cycloheximide blocks ALA synthesis. The Hill coefficientof this inhibition is 2. After the light-induced enhancementof respiration had ceased, the Hill-coefficient of inhibitionof ALA synthesis became 1. Thus, in addition to enhanced respiration,ALA formation depends on its sensitizing enzyme having a half-lifetime of less than 1 hr. Finally, the dependence of the synthesisof ALA precursors on light was evident.

The simultaneous recovery of cell division and chlorophyll synthesisin "giant", "bleached" cells of the Emerson strain of Chlorellavulgaris which occurs upon exposure to light has been investigatedusing the two inhibitors of protein synthesis, chloramphenicoland cycloheximide. With both antibiotics, it has been foundpossible, under suitable conditions, to separate cell divisionand chlorophyll synthesis. The best separation is obtained withthose chloramphenicol treatments which severely inhibit chlorophyllsynthesis and the development of a photosynthetic capacity butwithout affecting cell division. The separation achieved withcycloheximide is less clear-cut. The significance of these resultsis discussed with particular reference to the relationship betweenchloroplast development and other events occurring in the cytoplasm.

Cells of the alga Golenkinia are bleached by growth in darknessin media containing sodium acetate. Re-greening of these cellsis light dependent; neither glucose nor intermediates of chlorophyllsynthesis can substitute. The amount of chlorophyll synthesizedis proportional to the light intensity between darkness and1,000 lux and to the duration of the exposure. Initially, onlychlorophyll a is synthesized. After 912 hr illumination,formation of chlorophyll b and carotenoids begins. Chlorophyllproduction apparently occurs in two stages: (1) the first 1216hr of greening. This stage is sensitive to cyanide, azide oranaerobiosis and relatively resistant to DCMU. (2) the second1624 hr of greening. This stage is sensitive to DCMUand relatively resistant to inhibitors of respiration. Glucosestimulates greening in both stages. The metabolic requirementsof chlorophyll synthesis are discussed.

Regreening of glucose-bleached cells of Chlorella protothecoidesis stimulated by light. Spectral effectiveness in the processshowed maxima around 370, 440 and 480 nm, suggesting a flavoproteinas primary photoreceptor. Action spectra of ALA synthesis provedto be similar to those of chlorophyll formation, indicatingthat light stimulation of greening in this alga is regulatedat the first step of chlorophyll biosynthesis.

The principal pigment found in the majority of oxygenic photosyntheticorganisms is known to be chlorophyll a. However, we isolateda new oxygenic photosynthetic prokaryote that contained chlorophylld as a predominant pigment with chlorophyll a being a minorpigment. Chlorophyll d had previously been noted but its naturaloccurrence and function remained unclear. Cells of the new prokaryotehad an absorption maximum at red region of 714718 nmdue to chlorophyll d absorption, but no characteristic absorptionpeak of chlorophyll a around 680 nm was observed. Chlorophylld of the new organism was identified spectrophotometricallyin several solvents and its chemical structure was confirmedby NMR and FABMS analysis. The cell also contained a chlorophyllc-like pigment, zeaxanthin and a-carotene but not chlorophyllb and ß-carotene. The content of chlorophyll d accountedfor more than 2% of the cell dry weight, while the content ofchlorophyll a was less than 0.1%. The chlorophyll a/d ratioremained between 0.03 and 0.09 under different culture conditions.The light absorption characteristics and the high content ofchlorophyll d along with the small content of chlorophyll aindicated the existence of a new light utilization mechanisminvolving chlorophyll d.

The synthesis of chlorophyll and development of photochemicalactivities were complete within 7080 h in greening leaves,whereas these processes continued for 8 days with an initiallag of 8 h for pigment synthesis in greening Arachis hypogaeaL cells. The activity of photosystem I in cultured Arachis cellswas detected earlier (2436 h after illumination) thanthat of photosystem II (4254 h after illumination) andthe development of the latter coincided with the synthesis ofa 46,000 dalton polypeptide of the thylakoid membranes. Experimentalstudies with cultured cells have the advantage in that the temporalsequence of the assembly of membrane components and associatedfunctions are determined easily because of longer developmentalperiod of chloroplast.
