以叶绿素快相荧光动力学曲线(OJIP)为探针,研究了外源钙对干旱胁迫下烤烟幼苗光系统Ⅱ(PSⅡ)功能的影响.结果表明:干旱胁迫降低了烤烟幼苗PSⅡ原初光能转换效率(Fv/Fm)和电子传递速率(ETR),抑制了光合作用的原初过程,烤烟幼苗叶片发生了明显的光抑制.叶面喷施10.0 mmol·L-1CaCl2溶液后烤烟叶片的光合电子传递能量比例(ФEo)在干旱胁迫下的降低幅度明显小于对照(喷施清水),电子转运效率(ET0/RC)在干旱胁迫下明显高于对照.叶面喷施CaC12溶液增加了PSⅡ捕获光能用于光合电子传递的比例、剩余有活性反应中心的效率和电子传递链中的能量传递,使烤烟叶片的光系统Ⅱ在干旱胁迫下保持相对较高的活性,从而提高了烤烟幼苗的抗旱能力. 相似文献

The overall metabolism of purines was studied in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) mesophyll protoplasts. Metabolic pathways were studied by measuring the conversion of radioactive adenine, adenosine, hypoxanthine and guanine into purine ribonucleotides, ribonucleosides, bases and nucleic acid constituents. Adenine was extensively deaminated to hypoxanthine, whereupon it was also converted into AMP and incorporated into nucleic acids. Adenosine was mainly hydrolysed to adenine. Inosinate formed from hypoxanthine was converted into AMP and GMP, which were then catabolized to adenine and guanosine respectively. Guanine was mainly deaminated to xanthine and also incorporated into nucleic acids via GTP. Increased RNA synthesis in the protoplasts resulted in enhanced incorporation of adenine and guanine, but not of hypoxanthine and adenosine, into the nucleic acid fraction. The overall pattern of purine-nucleotide metabolic pathways in protoplasts of tobacco leaf mesophyll is proposed. 相似文献

Callus growth, in tobacco pith tissue culture, is activated by p-dimethylaminoazobenzene (p-DAAB), whose carcinogenic properties are well known. Ultrastructural changes, appearing in a period prior to initiation of cell proliferation, occur earlier and more intensely in the presence of the carcinogen. This also influences changes in non-histone chromatin proteins (NHCP). Doxorubicin (DR), an anti-tumor drug, inhibits callus growth and modifies the pattern of NHCP. 相似文献

Summary Actomyosin interactions are reportedly the principal mechanism for the transport of nonmotile sperm cells of flowering plants inside the pollen tube and inside the embryo sac. Myosin has been demonstrated on the generative cell (the predecessor of sperm cells), although it is unclear from previous studies whether myosin is located directly on the plasma membrane of the male germ cells or on the external plasma membrane of the pollen cell that surrounds them. Immunogold scanning electron microscopy was used to localize myosin on isolated tobacco sperm cells, with and without associated membranes. When present, the pollen tube plasma membrane surrounding the sperm cells was labeled by an antimyosin antibody, as were pollen tube cytoplasmic organelles. Negligible labeling was observed directly on the plasma membrane of the sperm cells. 相似文献

RbcS antisense DNA mutants of tobacco have reduced amounts of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase (Rubisco). We found that carotenoid and chlorophyll contents decrease in parallel as Rubisco is decreased, however, pigment levels are not significantly altered until Rubisco levels are reduced sharply. The mutants have normal Chl a/Chl b ratios and normal plastid ultrastructures, suggesting that reductions in Rubisco do not dramatically alter the composition of the thylakoid membranes. Nevertheless, chlorophyll fluorescence measurements, in which developmentally homogenous leaves were sampled, showed that there is reduced photosynthetic capacity of PSII and an enhanced photosensitivity in the mutants, especially in transgenics with severe reductions in Rubisco content. Support for this conclusion comes from several observations: 1) light saturation occurs at a lower light intensity in the mutants, resulting in an earlier closure of PS II (lower photochemical quenching); 2) the mutants have reduced photosynthetic efficiency (lower deltaF/Fm'); and 3) the mutants have a slower recovery of Fv/Fm. We found that acclimation to increasing light intensies in the mutants appears to involve an enhanced inactivation of PSII reaction centers as well as an increased activation of photoprotective mechanisms, notably an engagement of the xanthophyll cycle at lower than normal light intensities. We conclude that the photosensitivity of the antisense mutants is due, in part, to a limitation in Rubisco activation state. 相似文献

In flowers grown at warm temperatures in environmental chambers and at cooler temperatures in the greenhouse, eight parameters of the sperm-cell organization of Nicotiana tabacum were examined during sperm cell maturation using serial ultrathin sectioning, transmission electron microscopy and quantitative cytology. Despite employing the same seed source, and similar soil and nutrient conditions, the surface area and volume of the cell, the nucleus and the chondriome were larger in flowers grown in growth chambers under warmer controlled conditions, whereas the number of plastids appeared to be the same, or slightly higher, in flowers grown under cooler greenhouse conditions. These results suggest that environmental conditions may influence the quantity of cytoplasmic organelles, including mitochondria and plastids, thus potentially influencing the likelihood of male cytoplasmic inheritance. 相似文献

Microorganisms of plant phyllosphere play an important role in plant health and productivity and are influenced by abiotic and biotic factors. In this study, we investigated the phyllosphere bacterial communities of three cigar tobacco varieties cultivated in Guangcun (GC) and Wuzhishan (WZS), Hainan, China. Metagenomic DNA was extracted from tobacco leaf samples and sequenced by 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing. Our results showed that bacterial communities of cigar tobacco phyllosphere in GC exhibited remarkably higher alpha diversity than that in WZS. There was slight effect of tobacco genotype variations on the alpha diversity in both cultivation sites, and beta diversity and structure of bacterial community were not influenced significantly by the cultivation sites and tobacco varieties. Statistical analyses of species diversity unraveled that the dominant species in bacterial communities of cigar tobacco phyllosphere among all these samples were phylogenetically affiliated to Proteobacteria and Cyanobacteria. At the genus level, the most abundant microorganism was Limnobacter, followed by Brevundimonas, unidentified_ Cyanobacteria, and Pseudomonas. Additionally, environmental conditions except for humidity were negatively correlated with the relative abundance of bacterial genera. Further analyses revealed that influence of site‐specific factors on tobacco bacterial community was relatively higher than genotype‐specific factors. In short, this study may contribute to the knowledge base of practical applications of bacterial inoculants for tobacco leaf production. 相似文献

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic and widespread heavy metal pollutants in soil. As an essential mineral nutrient, boron (B) plays critical roles in physiological processes of plants. In the present study, programmed cell death (PCD) induced by Cd stress and/or B deprivation was assessed and the underlying mechanisms were clarified in suspension-cultured Nicotiana tabacum L. cultivar Bright Yellow 2 (TBY-2) cells. The PCD in TBY-2 cells was analyzed by Hoechst 33258 staining and the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay, and then, expression analysis of PCD-related genes was performed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays. The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was determined using fluorescence microscopy of 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein diacetate–labeled cells. The levels of lipid peroxides were quantified by the thiobarbituric acid–reactive substances (TBARS) method. Cadmium stress and/or B deprivation treatments induced PCD that was characterized by a significant increase in the percentage of cells stained with Hoechst 33258 or TUNEL-positive cells, and upregulation or downregulation of the expression of PCD-related genes. Treatments with Cd stress and/or B deprivation increased ROS production and the level of lipid peroxides compared to those of the control group. These data showed that in TBY-2 cells Cd stress and/or B deprivation activated ROS signaling pathways, leading to gene expression that was connected with the PCD process. 相似文献

Tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum) serve as the top leading commercial, non-food, and model crop worldwide. Cyclic nucleotide-gated channels ( CNGCs) are ligand-gated, calcium-permeable, divalent, cation-selective channels, involved in important biological functions. Here, we systematically characterized thirty-five CNGC genes in the genome of Nicotiana tabacum, and classified into four phylogenetic groups. Evolutionary analysis showed that NtabCNGC family of N. tabacum originated from the parental genome of N. sylvestris and N. tomentosiformis, and further expanded via tandem and segmental duplication events. Tissue-specific expression analysis showed that twenty-three NtabCNGC genes are involved in the development of various tobacco tissues. Subsequent RT-qPCR analyses indicated that these genes are sensitive towards external abiotic and biotic stresses. Notable performances were exhibited by group-I and IV CNGC genes against black shank, Cucumber mosaic virus, Potato virus Y, cold, drought, and cadmium stresses. Our analyses also suggested that NtabCNGCs can be regulated by phosphorylation and miRNAs, and multiple light, temperature, and pathogen-responsive cis-acting regulatory elements present in promotors. These results will be useful for elaborating the biological roles of NtabCNGCs in tobacco growth and development. 相似文献

Cytokinin oxidase was extracted and partially purified from auxin- and cytokinin-dependent callus tissue of tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Wisconsin 38). The activity of the enzyme preparation was examined using an assay based on the conversion of tritiated N 6-( 2-isopentenyl)adenine ([2,8- 3H]iP) to adenine. Cytokinin oxidase exhibited a temperature optimum at 45–50°C and a relatively high pH optimum (8.5–9.0). The apparent K m value of the enzyme was 4.3 M for iP. On the basis of the substrate competition assays, iP was determined to be the preferred substrate of the enzyme. Substrate competition was also observed with zeatin and the cytokinin-active urea derivative Thidiazuron. Cytokinins bearing saturated isoprenoid side chains or cyclic side chain structures, as well as auxins and abscisic acid, had no effect on the conversion of [2,8- 3H]iP. The cytokinin oxidase exhibited increased activity in the presence of copper-imidazole complex in the reaction mixture. Under optimal concentrations of copper (15 mM CuCl 2) and imidazole (100 mM), the enzyme activity was enhanced ca. 40-fold. Under these conditions the pH optimum was lowered to pH 6.0, whereas the temperature optimum, the apparent K m value, and the substrate specificity were not altered. Most of the enzyme moiety did not bind to the lectin concanavalin A. The characteristics of cytokinin oxidase presented here suggest that a novel molecular form of the enzyme, previously identified and characterized in Phaseolus lunatus callus cultures (Kamínek and Armstrong (1990) Plant Physiol 93:1530), also occurs in cultured tobacco tissue.Abbreviations Ade

Leaf color is an indicator of chlorophyll (Chl) level, and isolating leaf color mutants can facilitate the understanding of Chl metabolism regulation. Here, we describe an ethyl methanesulfonate-induced light color mutant white stem 1 ( ws1) in common tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L.) that shows a phenotype highly similar to burley tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L.), a type of air-cured tobacco that has light-colored leaves with white veins. Compared with the wild type, the light green stem of ws1 gradually became pale white along with growth, while ws1 leaves lost green color rapidly, which was positively correlated with the decline of Chl levels. A series of genetic analyses indicated that the ws1 mutant phenotype was controlled by two recessive nuclear genes ws1a and ws1b which were preliminarily mapped to the intervals of tobacco simple sequence repeat markers linkage groups 5 and 24 using the BC1F2 populations, respectively. The allelism test further revealed that the same two genes controlled the burley character in burley tobacco. Based on the Chl-deficient phenotype of ws1 and the locations of the two genes, we hypothesized that ws1a and ws1b were paralogs of each other probably originated from the ancestral species N. sylvestris and N. tomentosiformis, respectively. Both genes might share similar biological functions and expression patterns, and play key roles in the regulation of Chl biosynthesis. These results laid a solid foundation for marker-assisted selection breeding and gene function analysis of the burley character in tobacco. 相似文献

J.M. Keller et al. (1989, EMBO J. 8, 1005–1012) introduced a phytochrome gene controlled by a cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter into tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L.) providing material to test whether several photosynthesis enzymes can be increased by one modification to the plant. We report here that this transgenic tobacco had greater amounts of all enzymes examined as well as greater amounts of total protein and chlorophyll per unit leaf area. Fructose bisphosphatase (E.C. 3.1.3.11), glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.2.1.12), and sucrose-phosphate synthase (E.C. 2.4.1.14) were also higher when expressed per unit protein. However, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (E.C. 4.1.1.39) amount per unit leaf protein was the same in transgenic and wild-type (WT) plants. Photosynthesis in the transgenic plants was lower than in WT at air levels of CO 2, but higher than in WT above 1000 bar CO 2. The photosynthesis results indicated a high resistance to CO 2 diffusion in the mesophyll of the transgenic plants. Examination of electron micrographs showed that chloroplasts in the transgenic plants were often cup-shaped, preventing close association between chloroplast and cell surface. Chloroplast cupping may have caused the increase in the mesophyll resistance to CO 2 diffusion. We conclude that it is possible to affect more than one enzyme with a single modification, but unexpected physical modifications worsened the photosynthetic performance of this plant.Abbreviations CABP

Non-histone chromosomal proteins (NHP) were isolated from different stages of Nicotiana tabacum L. pith dedifferentiation to callus and callus redifferentiation. The NHP were separated by sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis on slab gels and analyzed by densitometry. Simultaneous histological changes are reported. In both processes, some high molecular weight protein (HMWP) bands increase drastically in an induction period, previous to cell proliferation, and decrease when cell division declines. Some low molecular weight protein bands, intense in pith tissue, decrease early when callus is forming and increase when cells differentiate. chromatin template activity is high when cells proliferate, coinciding with maximum HMWP-bands intensity.Abbreviations HMWP

Sperm cells are released from pollen tubes of tobacco as linked cells, associated with the vegetative nucleus in an assemblage
known as the male germ unit (MGU). Using light microscopy, the MGU assemblage appears to be ensheathed by cytoplasmic material
of the pollen tube, which may stabilize their association. Following their release, the shape of the sperm cells and vegetative
nucleus changes from an ellipsoidal to a more spheroidal morphology. When most of the cytoplasmic material is dispersed, a
boundary remains around the two sperm cells. Using scanning electron microscopy, the cytoplasmic material surrounding the
MGU appears filamentous, sometimes twisted and rope-like. Based on these observations, the function of the MGU of tobacco
is discussed.

The Amur Grape ( Vitis amurensis Rupr.) cultivars ??shuangFeng?? and ??ZuoShanyi?? were grown in shelter greenhouse under natural sunlight and subjected to drought. Sap flow rate, net photosynthetic rate ( P N), and chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence were measured on Amur Grape leaves subjected to different drought treatments. Significant decreases in P N were associated with increasing intercellular CO 2 concentration ( C i), suggesting that the reduction in P N was caused by nonstomatal limitation. Analysis of OJIP transients according to the JIP-test protocol revealed that specific (per PSII reaction center) energy fluxes for light absorption, excitation energy trapping and electron transport have significantly changed. The appearance of a pronounced K-step and J-step in polyphasic rise of fluorescence transient suggested the oxygen-evolving complex and electron transport were inhibited. Drought stress has relatively little effect on the parameter maximal quantum yield of PSII photochemistry (F v/F m), but the performance index (PIABS) is more sensitive in different drought treatment. There are cultivar differences in the response of PSII activity to drought, the photosynthetic apparatus of ??ZuoShanyi?? cultivar is more resistant to drought than that of ??ShuangFeng??, and JIP-test could be a useful indicator for evaluation and selection to drought tolerance. 相似文献
