Pattern of Respiration of a Perennial Ryegrass Crop in the Field 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Dark respiratory losses of CO2 were measured ona one year old sward of S24 perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenneL.) at intervals during a 74 day reproductive growth period,between April and June, and a 21 day vegetative growth period,in July and August. Part of the sward was shaded for one weekbefore measure ments commenced. Measurements of darkrespiration continued for 46 hand it was possible to distinguishtwo components which are designated maintenanceand synthetic Maintenance respiration was taken to be the meanrate of CO2 efflux after 4046 h darkness. When calculatedon a plant d. wt basis at 15°C it ranged between 6 to 32mgCO2 g-1 day-1 during reproductive growth and 1014 mgCO2 g-1 day-1 during vegetative growth. During reproductivegrowth, sward protein content ranged between 723 percent and when maintenance respiration was recalculated on thebasis of protein content it changed relatively little throughoutthe growth period (90140 mg CO2 g pro tein-1 day-1);the value for vegetative growth ranged between 70100mgCO2 g protein-day-1. Total synthetic CO2 flux was determined duringreproductive growth and a rate of synthetic CO2flux was determined during both reproductive and vegetativegrowth. Between 15 and 35 per cent of the CO2 fixed in the previousphotoperiod was lost in synthetic respirationof above-ground material in reproductive swards. Previous shadingincreased the proportion of synthetic CO2 lossfrom above ground. The rate of synthetic CO2 outputduring the first hours of darkness increased with amount ofCO2 fixed in the previous photoperiod, although it was not proportionalto it. There is some evidence that assimilate is carried-overfrom one photoperiod to the next. 相似文献

Marked changes in the activity of the de novoand salvage pathways of pyrimidine biosynthesisduring growth of Vinca rosea cells in a batch suspension culturewere observed. The activity of these pathways was investigated by determiningthe contribution of 14C of [2-14Cluracil, 12-14Cluridine. and[6-14Clorotate to the cell constituents and by measuring theactivity of the several enzymes of these pathways. During the lag phase of the culture, uracil- anduridine-salvage pathways made the predominantcontribution to nucleotide biosynthesis, but, following theinitiation of cell division, the de novo pathwayfor nucleotide biosynthesis operated appreciably. These results suggest that nucleotide synthesis during cellgrowth in a suspension culture can be divided into two stages:a turnover stage, during the lag phase of cellgrowth, and a true biosynthetic stage, which isinitiated in the cell division phase. 相似文献

The production rate of participate nitrogen (PN) in Lake Biwafrom March to June 1986 was calculated by monthly measurementsof the proteinaceous nitrogen production rates. The newproduction rate was estimated from the decrease in nitrate inthe euphotic zone; during this period (91 days) it was estimatedas 93 mg atoms m2, and accounted for 20% of the totalPN production (460 mg atoms m2). This implies that {smalltilde}80% of the PN produced might be recycled in the euphoticzone. The increase in PN in the euphotic zone during this period(27 mg atoms m2) accounted for 5.9% of the totalPN production. This indicates that the remaining 14% of PN producedin the euphotic zone was vertically transported. Sediment trapexperiments at 30 m depth indicate that 8.1% of the PN producedin the euphotic zone was measured as downward flux at 30 m depthduring the stagnation period. Decompositional loss of PN between12.5 (bottom of the euphotic zone) and 30 m depth was estimatedas 17 mg atoms m2. This was calculated on the basis ofaccumulation of ammonium, which accounted for 3.7% of the totalPN production. The flux from the euphotic zone thus accountedfor 12% of the total PN production, suggestingthe validity of the production model. 相似文献

Effect of Inorganic Phosphate on the Biosynthesis of Purine and Pyrimidine Nucleotides in Suspension-Cultured Cells of Catharanthus roseus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The levels of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides in suspensioncultures of Catharanthus roseus were determined 24 h after stationary-phasecells were transferred to fresh complete (+Pi)or phosphate-deficient (Pi) Murashige-Skoogmedium. The levels of ATP, GTP, UTP and CTP were from approx.3 to 5-fold greater in the cells grown in +Pimedium than in the cells grown in Pi medium.The levels of almost all other nucleotides were slightly higherin the cells in +Pi medium. The rates of de novoand salvage biosynthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotideswere estimated from the rates of incorporation of radioactivityfrom [14C]formate, [214C]glycine, NaH14CO3, [614C]orotate,[814C]adenine, [814C]adenosine, [214C]uraciland [214C]uridine. The results indicated that the activityof both the de novo and the salvage pathway was higher in thecells in +Pi medium than in the cells in Pimedium. The rate of degradation estimated from the rate of releaseof 14CO2 from labelled purines and pyrimidines indicated thatdegradation of uridine was significantly reduced in the cellsin +Pi medium, but no significant difference wasfound in the degradation of adenine, adenosine and uracil. Thepossible role of Pi in the control of the biosynthesis of nucleotidesand in the degradation of uridine is discussed.

Feeding behavior of the brittle star Ophiura ophiura includesorienting posture, orienting movements, arm walking,changing the direction of walking arm coilingand ingestion. All sequential behavior patterns were releasedor enhanced by single low-molecular-weight compounds. Stimuliwhich released walking behavior at high concentrations(104 M) in all the test animals are listed in decreasingorder of sensitivity: sarcosine, glycine, urea, L-valine, L-leucine,L-methionine, L-homocysteine, L-norvaline, L-norleucine, L-threonine,L-serine, S-methyl-L-cysteine, L-proline. Threshold values forsingle amino acids were as much as 100 times different in differentindividuals and ranged from 3 x 109 to 3 x 107M for the most effective stimulus, sarcosine, and from 106to 104 M for proline. Above 105 M, only L-prolineregularly released a second behavior pattern, the arm coilingresponse, which temporarily inhibited the walkingbehavior. Behavioral thresholds for the walkingbehavior for L(+)-lactate and L-alanine were higher than thosefor the orienting movements. Thyoglycolic acid and ß-alaninereleased tube feet walking, which is not part of the feedingbehavior. Structureactivity comparisons were studied at estimated105 M concentrations. Gycline, sarcosine, L-valine, L-norvaline,L-leucine, L-isoleucine, DL-norleucine and DL-homocysteine releasedarm walking behavior in more than 75% of all thetests. With the exceptions of S-methyl-and S-ethyl-cysteine,and glycine methylester, derivatives of amino acids were noteffective behavioral stimuli in Ophiura ophiura. L-Isomers ofvaline and leucine regularly stimulated the walkingbehavior while their D-isomers were effective in some testsand ineffective in others. Acetylcholine iodide, acetyl-ß-methylcholine chloride and choline phosphate chloride regularly releasedwalking behavior at concentrations above 105M. 相似文献

Subjects from Britain and America were tested on their skillat applying the taste adjectives sweet, sour,salty, and bitter to clearly distinguishablesolutions of sucrose, citric acid, NaCl and quinine sulphate,respectively. The main error that occurred was calling citricacid bitter while the tendency to call quininesulphate sour was not so common; this is the wellknown sour-bitter confusion. A sour-salty confusion was alsonoted as well as a tendency to call citric acid sweet.All these confusions were rectified by mere definition usingstandards. Skill at applying taste adjectives was not alwaysfound to be consistent over time. More errors occurred at lowersolution concentrations, even though stimuli were clearly distinguishable;indistinguishability of stimuli may account for some confusionsin other studies.

A microsomal flavonoid 3'-hydroxylase (F3'H) catalyzing themetabolism of naringenin to eriodictyol in Citrus sinensis (L.)Osbeck cv. Hamlin cell suspension cultures wasshown to be a cytochrome P450 enzyme. This reaction requiredO2 and NADPH and was inhibited by CO, with partial reversalof CO-inhibition by light at 450 nm. Cytochrome P450 contentranged from 1020 pmol (mg microsomal protein)1.The F3'H reaction was shown to be linear in regard to proteinconcentration between 2.5 and 25 µg of microsomal protein.The optimum pH for the reaction was 7.47.6 and the temperatureoptimum was between 30 and 37°C. The apparent Km and Vmaxfor naringenin were 24 µM±3.2 and 81.4±7.9pmol eriodictyol min1 (mg protein)1, respectively.The microsomal F3'H was also capable of forming dihydroquercetinfrom dihydrokaempferol (40 pmol min1 (mg protein)1)and of quercetin from kaempferol (3.25 pmol min1 (mgprotein1). Cytochrome c and ketoconazole were the bestinhibitors of WH activity followed by piperonyl butoxide anda-naphthoflavone. Light was shown to be an inducer of the F3'Halmost doubling the specific activity and increasing the microsomalcytochrome P450 content by 30% over that of dark grown cells.F3'H activity was also confirmed in microsomal preparationsof young (new flush) leaves from Hamlin treesand flavedo of Hamlin oranges, Marshgrapefruit, and Lisbon lemon. No activity wasobserved in older, hardened leaves and albedo of all the fruittested. Initiation of embryogenesis in the Hamlincell suspension cultures by switching from a sucrose mediumto a glycerol-based medium resulted in the down-regulation ofF3'H.

Floral buds of the False Horn plantain clonesMusa (AAB) Harton Verde, Harton Negra,and Currare terminate in a large single floralstructure. The apices of these floral buds are here designatedas determinate since they have lost the ability to produce additionalfloral initials or buds. Terminal peduncle segments can be culturedin a modified Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium supplementedwith N6-benzyl-aminopurine (5 mg I1). Under these conditions,this apparent inability to yield buds can be overcome as vegetativeshoot clusters form in the axils of the bracts. Rooted plantletsare obtainable by treating shoots with naphthaleneacetic acid(1 mg I1) and activated charcoal (0.025%). The adventitiousorigin of the shoots has been established.

Nitrate provision has been found to regulate the capacity forChara corallina cells to take up nitrate. When nitrate was suppliedto N sufficient cells maximum nitrate uptake was reached after8 h. Prolonged treatment of the cells in the absence of N alsoresulted in the apparent ability of these cells to take up nitrate.Chlorate was found to substitute partially for nitrate in theinduction step. The effects on nitrate reductionwere separated from those on nitrate uptake by experiments usingtungstate. Tungstate pretreatment had no effect on NO3uptake induced by N starvation, but inhibitedNO3 uptake associated with NO3 pretreatment. Chloridepretreatment similarly had no effect on NO3 uptake inducedby N deprivation, but inhibited NO3 uptake followingNO3 pretreatment. The data suggest that there are atleast two mechanisms responsible for the inductionof nitrate uptake by Chara cells, one associated with NO3reduction and induced by CIO3 or NO3and one associated with N deprivation.

The Sensitivity of Net Photosynthesis in Several Plant Species to Short-term Fumigation with Sulphur Dioxide 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The effects of exposure of up to 2 h with sulphur dioxide ona range of plant species was observed by measuring changes inthe rate of net photosynthesis under closely controlled environmentalconditions. Ryegrass, Lolium perenne S23 was thespecies most sensitive to SO2; significant inhibition was detectedat 200 nl l1. Fumigations at 300 nl l1 also inhibitedphotosynthesis in field bean (Vicia faba cv. Three FoldWhite and Blaze) and in barley (Hordeumvulgare cv. Sonja). No effect was detected inwheat (Triticum aestivum cv. Virtue) at concentrationsup to 600 nl l1 SO2, or in oil-seed rape (Brassica napuscv. Rafal) except at 800 nl l1 SO2). Recoverycommenced immediately after the fumigation was terminated andwas complete within 2 h when inhibition had not exceeded 20%during the SO2 treatment.

The effect of the leafless mutation (in whichtendrils replace leaflets and the stipules are reduced to avestigial form) upon foliage area, photosynthetic net CO2 uptakepotential, dry matter production and seed yield in Pisum sativumwas studied by comparing two near-isogenic lines of genotypeafafstst and ++++. The mutation is of potential agronomic valuein that it offers improved lodging resistance, crop drying andharvester throughput. In the conventional phenotype the total foliage area of themain axis attained a plateau (456 cm2) at day 56 from seedlingemergence, whereas corresponding values for the leaflessmutant showed a total area of 208 cm2 at day 68 with no indicationof a plateau. The agronomic consequence of this is discussed.During the vegetative phase of the plant the maximum CO2 uptakepotential in the fully expanded conventional leaf was 8·5mg CO2 leaf1 h1 and in the leaflessmutant this value was 7·0 mg CO2 leaf1 h1.For most leaves of the latter phenotype this valuewas between 30 and 60 per cent less than for their conventionalcounterpart. There was a consistently higher photosyntheticpotential per unit area in tendrils of the leaflessmutant than in leaflets of the conventional phenotype. The respectivemean specific values for the two phenotypes were 53 and 37 mgCO2 dm2 h1. The problem of obtaining a meaningfulsurface area value for tendrils is discussed and the cylindricalnature of tendrils is taken into account. The leafless mutant consistently accumulated 50per cent less dry matter than did conventional plants in theperiod from seedling emergence to anthesis and yield of maturedry seed per plant showed a reduction of 50 per cent both inseed number and total seed weight. The implications for future breeding and selection programmesaimed at haulm reduction are discussed in relation to evaluatingthe ability of the background genotype to produce adequate tendrilsin the presence of afafstst.

The nature of metabolic products of 3indolylacetic acid(IAA) extracted from potato tuber disks treated with aeratedIAA solution has been investigated. Two major products, knownat first as V and P in these studieshave been isolated and V has been identified as3-indolylacetylaspartic acid (IacAsp). The rapid uptake of IAA is inhibitited by metabolic poisonssuch as 103 M. cyanide. The maximum mean internal concentrationexceeds the external concentration wellaerated cultures.The mean internal concentration, however only remains for aperiod and then falls off rapidly as a result of extrusion ofabsorbed IAA into the external solution. This extrusion is notinhibited by 10-3 cyanide; when the mean internal IAA concentrationis 150 µ mol/ml. and the localized IAA concentration musttherefore exceed this value. We conclude therefore that theIAA concentration in the sites where it has accumulated exceedsthe concentration of IAA outside. Uptake of IAA and also its further conversion are inhibitedby indolylacetonitrile and promoted by aspartate, but this promotionis not associated with any gain in amount of indolylacetylaspartate(IacAsp). The data suggest that IacAsp may be formed in tissue from boundIAA rather then free IAA. The accelerator found in potato and beans whichhas similar RF to IAcAsp has been shown definity to be someother substance or substances and not IAcAsp as was at firstthought possible. 相似文献

The metabolic fate of [U-14C]sucrose in suspension culturesof Catharanthus roseus cells was monitored for 96 h after thecells were transferred to fresh complete (+Pi)or to phosphate-deficient Murashige and Skoog (Pi)medium. Sucrose was hydrolysed extracellularly to glucose andfructose. The rate of uptake of sugars by the cells was 1.53times higher in +Pi culture than in Piculture. Little difference in the rate of incorporation of radioactivityinto the ethanol-soluble fraction was found between the +Piand Pi cultures during the initial 24h of culture, but after 48 h the rate in +Picultures was higher than that in Pi cultures.Incorporation of radioactivity into ethanol-insoluble macromoleculeswas always significantly higher in the cells in +Picultures than in those in Pi cultures.The results suggest that Pi strongly affects the utilizationof sugars by cultured plant cells through the stimulation oftransport of sugars as well as through the activation of metabolism.

In nodulated common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), there is typicallya period of N stress between 15 and 20 d after emergence (DAE),due to a lack of synchronization between the depletion of Nin the cotyledons and the beginning of N2 fixation and transport.Screening trials identified some Rhizobium leguminosarum bv.phaseoli strains with which symptoms of N deficiency were notvisible (precocious strains). Cultivar Negro Argelwas then inoculated with two traditional strains(C-05 and CIAT 727) and two precocious strains(CNPAF 146 and CNPAF 512), and plants were harvested from 8to 30 DAE. There were no differences between the two groupsof strains in nodule dry weight or in the acetylene reductionrates between 8 and 16 DAE. However, nodules induced by theprecocious strains showed earlier onset of glutaminesynthetase (GS) (EC 6.3.1.2
[EC]
) and glutamate synthase (GOGAT)(EC 1.4.1.14
[EC]
) activities, and ureide synthesis. The N concentrationin the nodules formed by precocious strains variedfrom 4.2 to 4.5%, whereas with the traditionalstrains, it increased from 3.2% at 8 DAE to 65% at 18 DAE, atwhich time plants exhibited N-deficiency symptoms. By 21 DAE,GS and GOGAT activities in traditional noduleswere increased, as well as the ureide-N-concentration in thexylem sap, nodule N content declined to 4.5% and the leavesbecame green. These results suggest that the N stress with traditionalstrains is not a limitation in early N2 fixation activity butrather in the rates of expression of the processes of N assimilationand transport.

Tracer 14CO2 was supplied to the leaves of Jerusalem artichokeplants in the light and tissue was removed from an attachedtuber at intervals. The first compound to contain 14C in thetuber was sucrose; label next appeared in the trisaccharideIF-fructosylsucrose, and more slowly in the higher oligo-andpolysaccharides. After 50 hours over 40 per cent. of the tracerpresent in the tuber was found in the inulin fraction(DP>25). Degradation of the polymers showed that in the earlystages only the sucrosyl groups of the oilgosaccharides werelabelled. Later the labelling in the fructosyl residues of thetails of the oilgosaccharides increased to thelevel of that in the sucrosyl groups. The pattern in the fractionof DP> 20 did not correspond to that of the lower polymers,as the tail appeared to become labelled first.Transfer of terminal fructosyl residues by known transfructosylaseactivity can explain the labelling of the sucrosyl residuesof the fructosan series, thus implicating this enxyme in thedistribution of fructose within the series, but the mechanismleading to tail labelling is still obscure. 相似文献

Assimilate Uptake and Water Loss in Maturing Barley Grains 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
When detached ears of barley were supplied with [U-14C] sucrosefor 4 h, 14C was detected in the endosperms of grains from earsharvested 50 days after anthesis, i.e. 1015days after cell wall modifications had taken placein the chalazal region of the caryopsis. In 55-dayears which had been supplied with [U-14C] sucrose for 20 h no14C was detected in the upper part of the rachis or in grainswith a moisture content of less than about 25%. In the rachisof wheat and barley, the walls of the xylem parenchyma and phloemcells stain strongly with ruthenium red, and in immature rachidesthis stainability is lost when sections are incubated with pectinase.Near the apex of 55-day ears the pectinaceouswall material in the vascular bundles is resistant to digestionby pectinase, and pectic substances, which are removed by pectinase,fill the lumina of the xylem elements. These observations arediscussed in relation to the dehydration of the maturing grain. Key words: Barley, 14C-sucrose, Pectic material, Xylem 相似文献

Vessel element formation in cultured carrot-root phloem slices 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effects of light, auxin and cytokinin on vessel elementformation in phloem slices of carrot root were examined. When slices of carrot cultivars, Nakamura-senko-futoand Yamada-hyakunichisenk6- naga, preculturedin the dark on modified Murashige and Skoog's medium for twodays were cultured on a medium containing 5x106 M 2,4-Din the dark, no vessel element formation occurred. When preculturedslices were cultured in the light with 5x106M 2,4-D,vessel element formation was remarkable. But when 5x107Mkinetin, benzyladenine or zeatin was added, vessel elementswere readily formed even in the dark. When slices were cultured in the light, a cytokinin-like substance(s)that causes vessel element formation was produced in the slices,then was released to the medium. The substance(s) was fairlystable to heat. In slices of carrot cultivars, kuroda-gosun, Kintokiand Kokubu-senk6-6naga, a different result forvessel element formation was obtained. When slices of thesecultivars were cultured on a medium containing 5x106M2,4-D in the dark, vessel element formation was remarkable.It seemed, therefore, that these cultivars contain enough ofa cytokinin-like substance(s) to form vessel elements. In fact,vessel element forming activity was found in the alcohol extractof carrot root phloem from these cultivars. (Received June 8, 1971; ) 相似文献
