By means of a machine vision facility, the process of water-imbibitionin a small seeded brassica species was recorded as the visibleincrease in seed volume. Dry cauliflower seed ( Brassica oleracea)showed an immediate rapid phase of imbibition upon the additionof water. This initial phase was associated with the reductionin seedling root growth resulting from the imbibition of coldwater, and the rate of uptake of water at 20?C was negativelycorrelated with subsequent seedling growth. Damage to the testaof dry seed resulted in an increased rate of imbibition anda corresponding decrease in seedling root growth measured onslant boards. This showed that the intact testa of cauliflowerseed is capable of acting as a barrier to water influx and thata high rate of water uptake is damaging to the embryo. Testadamage reduced percentage soil emergence of seeds, as did raisingthe soil moisture content during the imbibition period by wateringimmediately after sowing. Both these treatments were believedto increase imbibition rate. Conditions which encouraged a lowrate of water uptake also improved the rate and uniformity ofemergence. Correlation of mean imbibition rates (measured ina laboratory test) with soil-emergence indicated that the sensitivityto imbibition damage varied between seed lots and interactedwith the absolute rate of water influx to determine the finalpercentage emergence. This factor prevented reliable predictionof seedling performance from the ranked-order of measured imbibitionrates. The significance of these findings to the seed productionand modular transplant raising industries is discussed. Key words: Machine vision, imbibition rate, testa, soil moisture, vigour 相似文献

The subcellular localization of O-acetyiserine(thiol)lyase (EC 4.2.99.8) in nongreen tissue from higher plants has been studied using purified proplastids, mitochondria, and protoplasts from cauliflower ( Brassica oleracea L.) buds as a source of subcellular fractions. O-Acetylserine(thiol)lyase has been detected in both organelles (proplastids and mitochondria) and a cytosolic extract obtained by protoplast fractionation. We confirmed these observations, demonstrating that a form of the enzyme different in global charge and separated from others by anion-exchange chromatography corresponded to each subcellular location. Our observations are consistent with the need for cysteine biosynthesis in each subcellular compartment where the synthesis of proteins occurs. 相似文献

Serine transhydroxymethylase (EC 2.1.2.1) has been purified 46-fold from cauliflower ( Brassica oleracea var. botrytis L.). The enzyme was completely dependent on the presence of tetrahydrofolic acid for the conversion of serine to glycine. The addition of pyridoxal phosphate gave a large increase in the reaction rate. A double pH optimum was observed with maxima at 7.5 and 9.5. The enzyme is specific for l-serine. The d-isomer is neither a substrate nor an inhibitor. The Michaelis constants for l-serine, tetrahydrofolic acid, and pyridoxal phosphate were 300 μ m, 760 μ m, and 24 μ m, respectively. The addition of K + also stimulated the reaction rate considerably. The effect was quite specific since all other metal ions tested either had very little: influence or were extremely inhibitory. 相似文献

Self-incompatibility (SI) in Brassica is a sporophytic system, genetically determined by alleles at the S-locus, which prevents self-fertilization and encourages outbreeding. This system occurs naturally in diploid Brassica species but is introduced into amphidiploid Brassica species by interspecific breeding, so that in both cases there is a potential for yield increase due to heterosis and the
combination of desirable characteristics from both parental lines. Using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based analysis
specific for the alleles of the SLG ( S-locus glycoprotein gene) located on the S-locus, we genetically mapped the S-locus of B. oleracea for SI using a F 2 population from a cross between a rapid-cycling B. oleracea line (CrGC-85) and a cabbage line (86-16-5). The linkage map contained both RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism)
and RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) markers. Similarly, the S-loci were mapped in B. napus using two different crosses (91-SN-5263×87-DHS-002; 90-DHW-1855-4×87-DHS-002) where the common male parent was self-compatible,
while the S-alleles introgressed in the two different SI female parents had not been characterized. The linkage group with the S-locus in B. oleracea showed remarkable homology to the corresponding linkage group in B. napus except that in the latter there was an additional locus present, which might have been introgressed from B. rapa. The S-allele in the rapid-cycling Brassica was identified as the S 29 allele, the S-allele of the cabbage was the S
5 allele. These same alleles were present in our two B. napus SI lines, but there was evidence that it might not be the active or major SI allele that caused self-incompatibility in these
two B. napus crosses.

An efficient in vitro screening method has been developed for cauliflower to create NEU and NMU induced mutant lines selected on hydroxyproline containing medium. Mutant lines and control plants were sub-cultured many times on maintenance medium and stored at 5°C for 2 years and then tested for salt and hydroxyproline resistance as in vitro and in vivo plants. In vitro shoot tips were also sub-cultured to media containing hydroxyproline and NaCl for 28 days and then assessed for their leaf proline content. Non-acclimated and acclimated in vivo plants were also assessed for resistance to freezing. Populations of control and selected lines were created by mass pollination and subsequently tested for their NaCl and frost resistance. Control plants had little or no NaCl or hydroxyproline resistance whilst selected plants showed varying degrees of resistance. In vitro and in vivo responses of selected lines were correlated. Leaf proline content was increased markedly in the mutant lines and the greatest proline contents occurred following NaCl stress with the most respondent line having 100-fold levels compared to the controls. Both non-acclimated and acclimated selected lines showed improved frost resistance over controls. Improvements in frost resistance were heritable but improvements in NaCl resistance were not. The results clearly demonstrated that NaCl, frost and hydroxyproline resistance were stable traits over repeated in vitro sub-cultures and prolonged low temperature storage. A complete range of mutants with single, double or triple resistance traits were produced. The level of resistance however was not necessarily correlated with the level of proline and some lines showed resistance without elevated proline. It is concluded that elevated proline is not essential for improved resistance to abiotic stress in cauliflower, but where it does occur it does improve resistance. 相似文献

Acceleration of membrane deterioration has been observed recently during storage of [gamma]-irradiated cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L., Botrytis group). In the present study, the activity of microsome-associated lipolytic enzymes was investigated in cauliflower florets exposed to 0 or 4 kilograys of [gamma] radiation and stored for 8 d at 13[deg]C. Radiolabeled breakdown products obtained from the metabolism of (16:0/18:2*)-phosphatidylcholine and (16:0/16:0)-phosphatidyl-[N-methyl-3H]choline by microsomal membranes indicated that phospholipase D (EC 3.1.4.4), phosphatidic acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.4), and lipolytic acyl hydrolase were associated with the membranes. The rate of phosphatidylcholine catabolism by the membranes increased slowly in control cauliflower during storage. [gamma] irradiation caused an immediate rise in phosphatidylcholine catabolism that remained higher than that of the controls during subsequent storage. Collectively, the data suggest that enhancement of membrane lipolytic activity results from free-radical-induced stress. Rapid increase of the membrane-associated phospholipase D activity may be a key event leading to accelerated membrane deterioration following [gamma] irradiation. 相似文献

A model of nitrogen uptake and distribution is presented whichdescribes these processes in relation to the amount of availablesoil nitrate and the rate of plant growth. Nitrogen uptake iseither sink or source limited. Sink limitation is based on maximumN-concentrations of plant compartments. The N-uptake model iscombined with a photosynthesis model based on the productivity-nitrogenrelationship at the single-leaf level. The model is parameterizedusing cauliflower as an example crop. Applied to an independentdata set, the combined model was able to predict leaf, stemand inflorescence nitrogen concentrations with correlation coefficientsbetween predicted and simulated values of 0.89, 0.66 and 0.86,respectively. The influence of nitrogen supply and light intensityon leaf nitrate-N could also be predicted with good accuracy( r2 = 0.87). Dry matter production based on the productivity-Nrelationship and the partitioning into leaf, stem and inflorescencewas also reproduced satisfactorily ( r2 = 0.91, 0.93 and 0.92,respectively).

Metabolic responses are important for plant adaptation to abiotic stress. To investigate the responses of Phlox subulata L. to drought stress, we analyzed its physiological and metabolic changes using gas chromatography-mass spectrometer. Based on the physiological indices, P. subulata L. has tolerance to drought to some degree. Our results showed that there were a total of 30 key metabolites induced by drought stress, including amino acids, organic acids, sugars and sugar alcohols, nucleic acid and its derivatives, and other organic compounds. The glutamic acid-mediated proline biosynthesis pathway is continuously upregulated under drought stress, which could regulate osmotic pressure and maintain intracellular environmental stability. More secondary metabolites are used to increase glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid cycle, to accelerate energy production and to enhance the glutamic acid-mediated proline biosynthesis pathway, which are necessary to increase osmotic regulation. Prolonged drought stress induced progressive accumulation of compatible osmolytes, such as proline and inositol, sugars, and amino acids. Therefore, drought caused systemic alterations in metabolic networks involving transamination, TCA cycle, gluconeogenesis/glycolysis, glutamate-mediated proline biosynthesis, shikimate-mediated secondary metabolisms, and the metabolism of pyrimidine. These data suggest that plants may utilize these physiological and metabolomic adjustments as adaptive responses in the early stages of drought stress. These results deepen our understanding of the mechanisms involved in P. subulata L. drought tolerance, which will help improve the understanding of drought’s effects on plant systems. 相似文献

Flow cytometric analysis of nuclear DNA contents of somatictissues of cabbage ( Brassica oleracea L.) has revealed extensiveendopolyploidization, resulting in tissues that comprise mixturesof cells with different DNA contents, ranging from 2C to 16C.Patterns of endopolyploidy are specific to each developmentalstage. Multiple polyploidy was not present in the embryos ofdry seeds. Rapid endoreduplication occurred in the radicle andthe hypocotyl of the embryos during seed germination. Furtherendoreduplication cycles were detected in all tissues exceptthose of the shoot tips. In five cabbage cultivars tested, seedlingscontained cells of four ploidy levels, corresponding to 2C,4C, 8C and 16C. Multiploidy may be an integral part of differentiationprograms in cabbage plants. The biological significance of endoreduplicationin cabbage plants is discussed.
