The Cyanide-resistant Respiration in Callus of Nicotiana rustica cv. Gansu Yellow Flower Under Low Temperature

The increasement of the operation (ρValt) and the capacity of the alternative pathway (Valt) in tobacco (Nicotiana rustica L. cv. Gansu Yellow Flower) callus that treated by low temperature (4 ℃) were observed. The two electron transport pathways were changed alternatively, the cyanide-resistant respiration was the main respiratory pathway from the 2nd day to the 5th day, while the cytochrome pathway was the main pathway consistently in control callus. Cycloheximide and chloramphenicol treatment which inhibited protein synthesis resulted in dramatic and partly inhibition of Valt induced by low temperature respectively. This further proved above result that low temperature induced Valt. The same result was found when two inhibitors were used together. The analysis of heat production of callus indicated that the operation of the alternative pathway could be regulated to improve the micro-environmental temperature of tobacco callus to adapt to low temperature. The possible participation of the alternative pathway in the response to low temperature and its physiological roles were discussed.     

盐胁迫下烟草愈伤组织内源活性氧及乙烯的产生与交替途径发生,？…

This paper reported firstly the dynamic changes of the alternative pathway and the cytochrome pathway in tobacco callus under different concentration of salt. The production rate of endogenous ethylene, the contents of active oxygen species (O2-., .OH and H2O2) and the activities of related enzyme (SOD and CAT) were also investigated simultaneously. The results indicated that the actual operation of the alternative pathway (rho Valt) increased gradually and reached the maxima at 0.75% salt concentration, then declined, while the capacity of the alternative pathway (Valt) didn't exhibit the same change pattern with rho Valt and the cytochrome pathway (rho' Vcyt) changed contrary to rho Valt. At the same time, H2O2 and O2-. accumulated rapidly and reached their peak value at about 0.5% and 0.75% salt concentration respectively, while the content of .OH increased consistently. The production rate of endogenous ethylene increased rapidly and reached its maxima at about 0.5% salt concentration. These data demonstrated that changes of Valt in tobacco callus were associated with a parallel production of H2O2 and endogenous ethylene and a opposite production of .OH, while rho Valt changed parally with the production of O2-.. On the basis of above results, it was deduced that the changes of the development and operation of the alternative pathway in tobacco callus under salt stress might be correlated with the production of endogenous ethylene and the active oxygen species. The possible participation of the alternative pathway in response to salt stress was also discussed.     

小麦幼苗叶片抗氰呼吸对轻度水分胁迫的响应

小麦幼苗经－０．５ＭＰa聚乙二醇（ＰＥＧ－６０００）溶液暗中渗透迫０、６、１２、１８、２４、３０、３６、４２、４８h,叶片的总呼吸速率（Ｖt)呈现先上升后降低的趋势,交替途径呼吸也表现出相同的变化模式。水分胁迫初期（０－１２h),交替途径容量（Ｖalt)、实际运行活性（ρValt)及运行系数（ρ值）均上升,此后（１８－４８h）逐渐下降,水分胁迫也影响了呼吸电子流在２条呼吸途径中的分配比例,胁迫初期的０－１２h内,流经交替途径的电子流增多,而流向细胞色素主路的电子流减少,但随着胁迫时间的延长,交替途径的贡献降低,而细胞色素主路的贡献增加,说明小麦叶片的抗氰呼吸在水分胁迫初期被诱导增加,而随着胁迫进行的延长又表现为下降。     

水杨酸对低温胁迫香蕉幼苗呼吸作用的影响

探讨了水杨酸 (salicylicacid ,SA)对低温胁迫香蕉幼苗叶片呼吸作用的影响。在常温下用 0 .5mmol/LSA水溶液处理香蕉幼苗 ,能明显提高香蕉幼苗的抗氰呼吸和细胞色素呼吸 ,增加总呼吸量 ,提高产热量 ;在随后 7℃低温胁迫与常温恢复期间SA预处理 ,能抑制总呼吸速率的下降 ,这种对总呼吸下降的抑制与此时细胞色素途径维持在较高的水平有关 ,而与抗氰呼吸无关。此时也未检测到SA预处理植株叶片产热量增加的现象     

H2O2和水杨酸对陈化马铃薯切片交替呼吸途径影响的比较

外源5.0 mmol/L H2O2和0.1 mmol/L 水杨酸(salicylic acid, SA)处理均可明显提高陈化24 h的马铃薯切片的交替呼吸途径容量(Valt)及其与总呼吸的比值(Valt/Vt).应用交替氧化酶的单克隆抗体进行Western杂交的结果表明,H2O2和SA处理均可明显提高陈化马铃薯切片中交替氧化酶的表达水平.用氧同位素分辨法研究,结果表明:H2O2处理对陈化马铃薯切片中交替呼吸途径的实际运行没有影响,而SA处理对交替呼吸途径的实际运行具有明显的促进作用.上述结果表明,H2O2和SA对植物组织交替呼吸途径的影响存在差异,二者均可促进交替氧化酶的表达从而诱导交替呼吸途径容量的发生,但H2O2不影响其实际运行,而SA还可同时诱导其实际运行.     

Relationship Between Endogenous Ethylene and the Development and Operation of the Alternative Respiratory Pathway in Aged Potato Tuber Slices

The relationship between endogenous ethylene and the development and the operation of the alternative respiration pathway in aged potato (Solanum tuberosum L. ) tuber slices were investigated. During the 24 h aging period under 30 ℃, along with the great increase of the total respiratory rate (Vt) of the slices, the alternative pathway capacity (Valt) developed continuously, and the Valt/Vt values kept increasing as well. Both the alternative pathway activity (ρValt) and its contribution to Vt(ρValt/Vt) also increased gradually before 12 h of aging, but kept constant from 12 h to 24 h. The time course of the endogenous ethylene production of the aged slices was similar to the changing trends of Valt and Valt/Vt, but different from those of ρValt and ρValt/Vt values. ACC and Cu2 + treatment which stimulated ethylene production of the aged slices enhanced their Valt and Valt/ Vt values, Co2 + and Ag+ treatment resulted in a decreased effect. However, all the above treat ments of ethylene-related agents could not alter the continuously decreasing trend of the ρ value of the alternative pathway of the aged slices. And their effects on ρValt and ρValt/Vt values were only observed before 12 h of aging. These results suggested that the endogenous ethylene was essential to the development of the capacity of alternative pathway, but could only slightly influence the operation of the activity of the alternative pathway in aged potato tuber slices.     

能量对香石竹切花在瓶插期间呼吸电子途径的影响

采用外加0.1 mmol/L ATP或0.5 mmol/L二硝基苯酚(DNP)的方法,研究了香石竹(Dianthus caryophyllus L.)切花在25±1℃和80%～90%相对湿度下瓶插期间呼吸电子传递途径的变化情况.结果表明,香石竹切花在瓶插7 d时的呼吸速率达到高峰;ATP处理明显加快切花的呼吸速率,在瓶插7 d时呼吸速率高峰值较对照(未用ATP处理)升高1倍.细胞色素途径与总呼吸活性存在显著正相关.细胞色素途径占总呼吸的比重在切花瓶插4 d后上升,并且线粒体电子传递主要依靠细胞色素主路途径进行.经ATP处理后香石竹切花的交替呼吸途径的容量、实际运行活性和运行系数明显增加;交替呼吸途径占总呼吸活性比重在瓶插4 d后迅速上升,并且交替呼吸途径容量与总呼吸活性存在显著正相关.而DNP处理则降低交替呼吸途径容量.这说明外源ATP处理加强了香石竹切花在整个瓶插期间的呼吸作用,增加了呼吸速率的高峰值,提高了抗氰呼吸作用.

A Comparative Study of CN-Resistant Respiration in Different Cultures of Tobacco Callus

The callus of Nicotiana rustica cv Gansu yellow flower and N. tabacum cv willow leaf were cultured on ordinary subculture medium (M-1) and on regeneration medium (M-2), respectively. No differentiation was observed in Gansu yellow flower tobacco callus cultures grown on both M-1 and M-2 medium. The respiration of both cultures was partially resistant to cyanide and markedly inhibited by m-chlorobenzhydroxamic acid. The relative contributions of alternative and cytochrome pathway were 31% and 47% of the total respiration, respectively, in M-1 callus cultures. The relative O₂ uptake of the two pathways was not changed significantly in M-2 callus cultures. In subcultured M-1 callus cultures of Willow leaf tobacco, the respiration mediated via alternative pathway was about 29 to 38% of the total respiration, and the cytochrome pathway still was the major respiratory pathway. In M-2 callus cultures in which differentiation occurred, the relative contribution of alternative pathway increased to 41 to 47% of the total respiration, and the cytochrome pathway decreased considerably. These results suggested that the change of respiratory electron transport pathway was probably related to the differentiation of tobacco callus cultures.     

Studies on the Residual Respiration not Inhibited by KCN Plus Hydroxamic Acid in Tobacco Callus Cultures

A residual respiration not inhibited by KCN plus hydroxamic acid had been observed in many plant organs and tissues. The relative O2 uptake of it was 20–30% of total respiration in tobacco callus cultures. However, there is no report concerning the nature of the residual respiration and its localization in cell. The object of this study is to elucidate the characteris- tics of this residual respiration and its localization in cell. The experimental results are as follows: 1. The additions of glycolate and glyoxylate cause a marked rise in residual respiration not inhibited by KCN (or NaN3) plus m-CLAM. 2. The O2 uptake induced by glycolate and the residual respiration is inhibited by the addition of α-hydroxy ethanesulfonate. 3. The mitochondrial respiration is completely inhibited by KCN plus m-CLAM, but no effect by adding of glycolate. 4. Oxidation reactions of glycolate and glyoxylate in supernatant are observed after mitochondria are removed. Based on the above results, it is suggested that the residual respiration not inhibited by KCN plus m-CLAM in tobacco callus cultures is primarily catalyzed by glycolic acid oxidase localized within microbodies.     

Respiration during seed maturation

The contribution of cytochrome and alternative pathways to respiration during soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Chippewa 64] seed formation and maturation was measured by oxygen consumption of embryonic axis and cotyledon tissues and of mitochondria isolated from immature seeds. Respiration rates (dry weight basis) declined duing the last month of seed maturation. Cyanide sensitive respiration (cytochrome pathway) accounted for 80 to 90% of total oxygen consumption throughout seed formation and maturation. The proportion of the total respiration resistant to 1 m M cyanide and inhibited by 1 m M salicylhydroxamic acid (alternative pathway) did not exceed 6%. A residual oxygen consumption, accounting for 5 to 15% of total respiration, persisted in the presence of both inhibitors. Likewise, virtually no alternative respiration was found in mitochondria prepared from immature seeds. The alternative respiratory pathway seems absent during soybean seed formation and maturation regardless of whether grown in the greenhouse or field.     

不同低温胁迫对烟草愈伤组织抗氰交替途径诱导和交替氧化酶表达影响的比较

比较了不同低温(14℃和4℃)胁迫对烟草(Nicotiana rusticaL．)愈伤组织抗氰交替途径诱导和交替氧化酶表达的影响。结果显示,不同低温胁迫处理能显著诱导烟草愈伤组织交替途径容量和实际运行的增加,且都呈现出基本相同的变化模式：在胁迫的初期(1—3d)持续增加,在3d时达到最高,而后下降到一个相对恒定的水平。但交替途径容量增加的幅度与温度下降的程度密切相关,而交替途径实际运行量的诱导程度在不同低温胁迫下的差异却很小。表明交替途径容量和实际运行对低温胁迫的响应是不同的。免疫印迹分析结果表明：低温胁迫明显诱导了交替氧化酶总蛋白的增加,且其随低温胁迫进程的变化与交替途径容量的变化基本一致;而对交替氧化酶单体与二聚体在低温胁迫下的含量变化检测结果则显示,烟草愈伤组织中交替氧化酶主要以二聚体形式存在,且这一存在形式并不随低温胁迫程度的加深而发生改变。两种形式的交替氧化酶蛋白含量都能被低温胁迫诱导增加,但其单体水平在两种不同的低温胁迫下并无明显差别,而4℃低温胁迫诱导的二聚体交替氧化酶蛋白含量明显高于14℃。表明不同程度低温对抗氰交替途径发生的不同影响主要是由于对交替氧化酶蛋白二聚体形式的不同诱导程度所致;而高活性的交替氧化酶单体形式则不因低温胁迫程度的加重而被明显诱导升高,使得抗氰交替途径的运行程度在两种不同的低温胁迫处理条件下无显著差异。     

Changes of the CN-resistant Respiration in Callus Cultures of Nicotiana tabacurn during the Period of Differentiation

The callus cultures obtained from unpollinated young ovaries of willow leaf tobacco were transplanted separately on subculture medium (M-l) and differentiation medium (M-2). They were called M-1 callus and M-2 callus respectively. Only meristematic cells and parenchymas could be observed in M-1 callus. The M-2 callus, however, was able to differentiation into vascular systems, embryoids and bud primordia. The respiration of M-1 callus exhibited CN-insensitive. The relative contributions of alternative pathway and eytochrome pathway to the total respiration were 29–38% and 44–51% respectively during the culture period of 25 days. It was obvious that the bulk of the respiratory electron flux was mediated by the eytochrome pathway. The greater part of the respiration in M-2 callus was insensitive to cyanide. The relative contributions of alternative pathway and cytochrome pathway to the total respiration were 41–47% and 29–32% respectively. These results suggested that the increase in the participation of the alternative pathway in total respiration was probablely related to the differentiation of the callus culture.     

不同低温胁迫对烟草愈伤组织抗氰交替途径诱导和交替氧化酶表达影响的比较

比较了不同低温（14℃和4℃）胁迫对烟草（Nicotiana rustica L.）愈伤组织抗氰交替途径诱导和交替氧化酶表达的影响。结果显示,不同低温胁迫处理能显著诱导烟草愈伤组织交替途径容量和实际运行的增加,且都呈现出基本相同的变化模式：在胁迫的初期（1～3 d）持续增加,在3 d时达到最高,而后下降到一个相对恒定的水平。但交替途径容量增加的幅度与温度下降的程度密切相关,而交替途径实际运行量的诱导程度在不同低温胁迫下的差异却很小。表明交替途径容量和实际运行对低温胁迫的响应是不同的。免疫印迹分析结果表明：低温胁迫明显诱导了交替氧化酶总蛋白的增加,且其随低温胁迫进程的变化与交替途径容量的变化基本一致;而对交替氧化酶单体与二聚体在低温胁迫下的含量变化检测结果则显示,烟草愈伤组织中交替氧化酶主要以二聚体形式存在,且这一存在形式并不随低温胁迫程度的加深而发生改变。两种形式的交替氧化酶蛋白含量都能被低温胁迫诱导增加,但其单体水平在两种不同的低温胁迫下并无明显差别,而4℃低温胁迫诱导的二聚体交替氧化酶蛋白含量明显高于14℃。表明不同程度低温对抗氰交替途径发生的不同影响主要是由于对交替氧化酶蛋白二聚体形式的不同诱导程度所致;而高活性的交替氧化酶单体形式则不因低温胁迫程度的加重而被明显诱导升高,使得抗氰交替途径的运行程度在两种不同的低温胁迫处理条件下无显著差异。     

Partitioning of Electrons between the Cytochrome and Alternative Pathways in Intact Roots

To test the hypothesis that the cytochrome pathway is not invariably saturated when the alternative pathway is engaged, we titrated root respiration of several species with KCN (an inhibitor of the cytochrome pathway), both in the absence and presence of an inhibitor of the alternative pathway (salicylhydroxamic acid, SHAM). The slopes of the resultant KCN [rho] plots ([rho]cyt) were then used to determine whether the cytochrome pathway was saturated in each species. The species used were Festuca ovina ssp. ovina L., Phaseolus vulgaris L., and six Poa species (Poa pratensis L., Poa compressa L., Poa trivialis L., Poa alpina L., Poa costiniana Vick., and Poa fawcettiae Vick.). Although the cytochrome pathway was saturated in a number of species (i.e. [rho]cyt values were 1.0), several others exhibited [rho]cyt values of less than 0.5. Alternative pathway capacity correlated negatively with [rho]cyt, with [rho]cyt values of less than 1.0 occurring in tissues in which the alternative pathway capacity was greater than 25 to 30% of total respiration. The species that did not show full engagement of the cytochrome pathway rarely exhibited SHAM inhibition in the absence of KCN. We conclude that this lack of SHAM inhibition is not due to a lack of alternative pathway engagement but rather to the diversion of electrons from the alternative pathway to the unsaturated cytochrome path following the addition of SHAM.     

成熟和褐变荔枝果实呼吸作用和脂氧合酶活性

荔枝果实完全成熟和果皮变鮮红时,呼吸速率降低,仅相当于果皮带绿时的39.4％。此时果皮和果肉的脂氧合酶活性亦明显降低,分别相当于后者的60.2％和49.1％。成熟荔枝果实果皮呼吸作用对KCN抑制敏感。2mM KCN抑制果皮总呼吸的91.8％,而仅抑制果肉的56.9％。荔枝果皮呼吸的电了传递主要是通过细胞色素氧化酶途径,而果肉則可能一半是通过其它氧化酶途径。2mKCN和1.5mM SHAM抑制成熟果皮总呼吸97.9％,为SHAM抑制的交替途径呼吸占总呼吸5.28％。相同浓度KCN和SHAM抑制褐变果皮总呼吸79.7％,则SHAM抑制的交替途径呼吸占27.1％。果实褐变时,果成交替途径呼吸比例增高。这一变化可能促进H_2O_2积累、乙烯产生和果皮褐变深化。     

杜氏盐藻渗透调节过程中的甘油代谢途径

杜氏盐藻在适应外界盐浓度变化的过程中,甘油是其主要的渗透调节物质。低渗处理提高藻细胞的呼吸速率６０％以上;高渗处理对呼吸无明显影响,但大大刺激光合放氧速率。呼吸链的细胞色素电子传递链抑制剂ＫＣＮ和交替氧化酶抑制剂ＳＨＡＭ对杜氏藻渗透调节过程中的呼吸．胞内甘油、ＡＴＰ、淀粉会量的变化有不同的抑制效果。低渗情况下,胞内甘油转化为淀粉,所需能量由正常呼吸链和交替氧化酶途径同时提供;高渗情况下．淀粉则降解为甘油,光下甘油合成的能量主要由光合电子链提供,暗中则由正常呼吸链提供。     

甘肃黄花烟草愈伤组织抗氰呼吸的研究

根据呼吸抑制剂试验和氧肟酸滴定法测定结果表明,甘肃黄花烟草愈伤组织呼吸中有明显的抗氰交替途径运行,平均占总呼吸的31%;但仍以细胞色素途径为主,平均占总呼吸的46%;还有23%不受 KCN 加 m-CLAM 抑制的未知剩余呼吸。改变培养基的激素成分和浓度,在不引起愈伤组织发生明显分化条件下,愈伤组织的生长和呼吸速率虽有不同,但抗氰交替途径和细胞色素途径对总呼吸的相对贡献程度和二者的变化趋势基本一致。     

Salicylic Acid induces cyanide-resistant respiration in tobacco cell-suspension cultures

Cyanide-resistant, alternative respiration in Nicotiana tabacum L. cv Xanthi-nc was analyzed in liquid suspension cultures using O₂ uptake and calorimetric measurements. In young cultures (4-8 d after transfer), cyanide inhibited O₂ uptake by up to 40% as compared to controls. Application of 20 μm salicylic acid (SA) to young cells increased cyanide-resistant O₂ uptake within 2 h. Development of KCN resistance did not affect total O₂ uptake, but was accompanied by a 60% increase in the rate of heat evolution from cells as measured by calorimetry. This stimulation of heat evolution by SA was not significantly affected by 1 mm cyanide, but was reduced by 10 mm salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM), an inhibitor of cyanide-resistant respiration. Treatment of SA-induced or uninduced cells with a combination of cyanide and SHAM blocked most of the O₂ consumption and heat evolution. Fifty percent of the applied SA was taken up within 10 min, with most of the intracellular SA metabolized in 2 h. 2,6-Dihydroxybenzoic and 4-hydroxybenzoic acids also induced cyanide-resistant respiration. These data indicate that in tobacco cell-suspension culture, SA induces the activity and the capacity of cyanide-resistant respiration without affecting the capacity of the cytochrome c respiration pathway.     

Studies on the CN-resistant Respiration in Callus of Nicotiana rustica,Gansu Yellow Flower

In attempting to examine whether CN-resistant respiratory pathway is present in callus culture, we used tobacco callus cultures grown on different media. The M-1 medium contained tbe mineral and organic elements of MS medium and was supple,nented with 6-BA (0.5 mg/l) and 2,4-D (2 mg/l), and M-2 medium with 6-BA (2mg/l) and IAi (1 mg/l). No differentiation was observed in both of them. The respiration of M-1 callus was partly resistant to CN, and was markedly inhlbited by m-CLAM in the presence or absence of CN. Experiments of m-CLAM titration showed that the averages of relative contribution of alternative and cytochrome pathway in M-1 callus were 31% awl 46%of the total respiration respectively during the euliure period of 25 days. A same experiment was made on the M-2 callus. It was found that the pereeutages of relative contributions of the two electron transport pathways to the total respiration were approximately the same as those of the M-1 callus, although the respiratory rate was higher in M-2 callus. The above results showed that the bulk of respiratory electron flux was mediated by the eytoehrome pathway, although the alternative pathway was operative in callus of tobacco. The change of exogenous hormones added in the medium could not produee significant effects on the degree of relative contribution of two electron transport pathways under non-differentiation conditions.
