Using monoclonal tubulin and actin antibodies, Al-mediated alterations to microtubules (MTs) and actin microfilaments (MFs) were shown to be most prominent in cells of the distal part of the transition zone (DTZ) of an Al-sensitive maize (Zea mays L.) cultivar. An early response to Al (1 h, 90 μM) was the depletion of MTs in cells of the DTZ, specifically in the outermost cortical cell file. However, no prominent changes to the MT cytoskeleton were found in elongating cells treated with Al for 1 h in spite of severe inhibition of root elongation. Al-induced early alterations to actin MFs were less dramatic and consisted of increased actin fluorescence of partially disintegrated MF arrays in cells of the DTZ. These tissue- and development-specific alterations to the cytoskeleton were preceded by and/or coincided with Al-induced depolarization of the plasma membrane and with callose formation, particularly in the outer cortex cells of the DTZ. Longer Al supplies (>6 h) led to progressive enhancements of lesions to the MT cytoskeleton in the epidermis and two to three outer cortex cell files. Our data show that the cytoskeleton in the cells of the DTZ is especially sensitive to Al, consistent with the recently proposed specific Al sensitivity of this unique, apical maize root zone. 相似文献

The roles of actin microfilaments (MFs) in the organization of microtubules (MTs) at the M/G1 interface were investigated in transgenic tobacco BY-2 cells stably expressing a GFP-tubulin fusion protein, using the MF-disrupting agent, Bistheonellide A (BA). When MFs were disrupted by BA treatment, cortical MTs (CMTs) did not become reorganized even 3 h after phragmoplast collapse, whereas non-treated cells completed CMT reorganization within 1 h. Furthermore, in the absence of MFs, the tubulin proteins did not show appropriate recruitment but remained at the site where the phragmoplast had existed, or extra-phragmoplasts were organized. These extra-phragmoplasts could functionally form extra-cell plates. This is the first observation of the formation of multiple cell plates during one nuclear division, and of phragmoplast generation irrespective of the position of the mitotic spindle or nuclei. The significance of these observations on the role of MFs at the M/G1 interface is discussed. 相似文献

We isolated the cortical microtubules (CMTs) from tobacco BY-2 cells to identify their components. By centrifugation of protoplasts homogenized in the presence of taxol, a MT-stabilizing reagent, in a density gradient of Percoll, we obtained membranous vesicles to which MTs forming a sheet-like bundle were attached. Rhodamine-conjugated Ricinus communis agglutinin I (RCA-I), a lectin that bound to the surface of protoplasts, stained these vesicles, indicating that they were plasma membrane (PM) vesicles that retained CMTs. CMTs were released by solubilization of PM vesicles with Triton X-100. A sheet-like array of CMTs was retained even after solubilization of PM vesicles. Immunoblot analysis of the isolated CMTs demonstrated the presence of tubulin, actin, the 65 kDa microtubule-associated protein (MAP) and a 130 kDa RCA-I binding protein. Purification of the isolated CMTs by the temperature dependent disassembly-reassembly cycling method revealed four polypeptides, 190, 120, 85 and 65 kDa, co-assembling with CMTs. 相似文献

Background
Little information is available on the amelioration of boron (B) on aluminum (Al)-induced photosynthesis inhibition. Sour pummelo (Citrus grandis) seedlings were irrigated for 18 weeks with nutrient solution containing 4 B levels (2.5, 10, 25 and 50 μM H3BO3) × 2 Al levels (0 and 1.2 mM AlCl3·6H2O). The objectives of this study were to determine how B alleviates Al-induced growth inhibition and to test the hypothesis that Al-induced photosynthesis inhibition can be alleviated by B via preventing Al from getting into shoots. 相似文献5.

Potential mechanisms of Al toxicity measured as Al-induced inhibition of growth in cultured tobacco cells (Nicotiana tabacum, nonchlorophyllic cell line SL) and pea (Pisum sativum) roots were investigated. Compared with the control treatment without Al, the accumulation of Al in tobacco cells caused instantaneously the repression of mitochondrial activities [monitored by the reduction of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide and the uptake of Rhodamine 123] and, after a lag of about 12 h, triggered reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, respiration inhibition, ATP depletion, and the loss of growth capability almost simultaneously. The presence of an antioxidant, butylated hydroxyanisol, during Al treatment of SL cells prevented not only ROS production but also ATP depletion and the loss of growth capability, suggesting that the Al-triggered ROS production seems to be a cause of ATP depletion and the loss of growth capability. Furthermore, these three late events were similarly repressed in an Al-tolerant cell line (ALT301) isolated from SL cells, suggesting that the acquisition of antioxidant functions mimicking butylated hydroxyanisol can be a mechanism of Al tolerance. In the pea root, Al also triggered ROS production, respiration inhibition, and ATP depletion, which were all correlated with inhibition of root elongation. Taken together, we conclude that Al affects mitochondrial functions, which leads to ROS production, probably the key critical event in Al inhibition of cell growth. 相似文献

Aluminum (Al) induces agricultural problems limiting crop productivity in acid soils. Since Al causes morphological changes
in roots, and because microtubules (MTs) play important roles in determination of tissue morphology, we investigated whether
Al affects the arrangement of MTs in maize root meristem using immunolocalization techniques. When seedling roots were treated
with 50 μM Al, the orientations of MTs were dramatically altered in a population of cells located in the protoderm and the
two outer layers of cortex: interphase cortical MT arrays lost their normal transverse organization and became random or longitudinal;
the preprophase band of MTs, mitotic spindle, and phragmoplast developed at planes 90° rotated compared to their counterparts
in controls. These changes in MT orientation resulted in the change of the division plane from transverse to longitudinal,
producing daughter cells positioned side by side instead of above and below. The rotation of the otherwise normal MT arrays
and the division plane in Al-treated roots indicates that Al interferes with the normal polarity sensing mechanism, which
may contribute to the reduced axial growth of the Al-treated roots. 相似文献

Isolation of aluminum-tolerant cell lines of tobacco in a simple calcium medium and their responses to aluminum 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Aluminum (Al)-tolerant cell lines (ALT301 and ALT401) of tobacco were isolated in a simple calcium (Ca) solution from ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS)-treated suspension cultured tobacco cells ( Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Samsun, a cell line SL) at the logarithmic phase of growth. A highly tolerant cell line ALT301 exhibited the accumulation of Al and the deposition of callose to the same extent as the parental SL cells during the exposure to Al. However, the Al-treated ALT301 cells grew much better than the Al-treated SL cells after transfer to Al-free growth medium. Compared to SL cells, ALT301 cells were more tolerant to toxicity of copper and iron, but not to that of lanthanum. These results suggest that ALT301 cells have an internal tolerance mechanism, which makes cells grow normally in spite of Al accumulation and Al-induced lesion represented by the deposition of callose. This tolerance mechanism seems also to be effective against copper and iron toxicity. A slightly tolerant cell line ALT401 also accumulated Al to the same degree as SL cells, but deposited significantly less callose than did SL cells (43% of SL). The growth of ALT401 cells after Al treatment was only slightly better than that of SL cells. Thus, it seems that ALT401 cells have a mechanism to protect cells only from the Al-induced deposition of callose, which is not enough to overcome the Al-induced inhibition of growth. The different phenotypes exhibited by these Al-tolerant cell lines suggest that the deposition of callose is not directly related to the inhibition of growth in Al-treated cells. 相似文献

The origin of cortical microtubules (CMTs) was investigated in transgenic BY-2 cells stably expressing a GFP (green fluorescent protein) -tubulin fusion protein (BY-GT16). In a previous study, we found that CMTs were initially organized in the perinuclear regions but then elongated to reach the cell cortex where they formed bright spots, and that the appearance of parallel MTs from the bright spots was followed by the appearance of transverse MTs (Kumagai et al., Plant Cell Physiol. 42, 723-732, 2001). In this study, we investigated the migration of tubulin to the reorganization sites of CMTs at the M/G1 interface. After synchronization of the BY-GT16 cells by aphidicolin, the localization of GFP-tubulin was monitored and analyzed by deconvolution microscopy. GFP-tubulin was found to accumulate on the nuclear surface near the cell plate at the final stage of phragmoplast collapse. Subsequently, GFP-tubulin accumulated again on the nuclear surface opposite the cell plate, where nascent MTs elongated to the cell cortex. The significance of these observations on the mode of CMT organization is discussed. 相似文献

Our previous data showed that apoptotic suppressors inhibit aluminum (Al)-induced programmed cell death (PCD) and promote Al tolerance in yeast cells, however, very little is known about the underlying mechanisms, especially in plants. Here, we show that the Caenorhabditis elegans apoptotic suppressor Ced-9, a Bcl-2 homologue, inhibited both the Al-induced PCD and Al-induced activity of caspase-like vacuolar processing enzyme (VPE), a crucial executioner of PCD, in tobacco. Furthermore, we show that Ced-9 significantly alleviated Al inhibition of root elongation, decreased Al accumulation in the root tip and greatly inhibited Al-induced gene expression in early response to Al, leading to enhancing the tolerance of tobacco plants to Al toxicity. Our data suggest that Ced-9 promotes Al tolerance in plants via inhibition of Al-induced PCD, indicating that conserved negative regulators of PCD are involved in integrated regulation of cell survival and Al-induced PCD by an unidentified mechanism. 相似文献

To further understand the process of Al-induced citrate secretion from soybean roots, the effect of protein synthesis inhibitor,
anion channel blockers, and citrate carrier inhibitors on Al-induced citrate exudation was investigated in Al-resistant soybean
cultivar PI 416937. Citrate exudation from roots increased with the increase of Al concentration from 10 to 50 μM and initiated
after 4 h of Al exposure. Protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide (CHM; 25 μM) completely inhibited Al-induced citrate
secretion during 12-h exposure, suggesting that novel protein synthesis was necessary in Al-induced citrate efflux. Also both
anion channel blocker anthracene-9-carboxylic acid (A-9-C) and citrate carrier inhibitor mersalyl acid (Mersalyl) significantly
reduced citrate secretion, suggesting that both anion channels in plasma membrane and citrate carriers in mitochondria membrane
were the rate limiting factors of Al dependent citrate release. However, Al-induced citrate secretion was insensitive to anion
channel blockers phenylglyoxal (PG), 4,4′-diisothiocyanostibene-2,2′-disulfonat (DIDS) and citrate carrier inhibitor pyridoxal
5′-P (PP). 相似文献

We investigated how the pea (Pisum sativum cv. Harunoka) root, upon return to an Al-free condition, recovers from injury caused by exposure to Al. The growing region of the root during and after treatment with Al was examined by marking the root at intervals with India ink. Al-induced cell death was detected by staining with Evans blue. Root growth in 40 μM Al solution relative to that in Al-free solution (RRG) was approximately 45% from 6 h to12 h after the start of the treatment. However, values of RRG from 12 h to 24 h in Al-free solution for recovery or in the same Al solution were about 75% and 35%, respectively, indicating recovery from Al-induced growth inhibition. Images of the root characterized by zonal staining with Evans blue were observed in the sub-apical region (more than 1 mm from the tip) in Al-stressed roots. However, the interval of the stained zone was widened in the root after recovery from Al-induced growth inhibition, though it was narrower and more densely stained with time in the Al-stressed roots. During the recovery, the root apex may resume elongation in a specified region without Al-induced death or injury in cells detected by Evans blue. 相似文献

Aluminium tolerance is achieved by exudation of citric acid from roots of soybean (Glycine max) 总被引:14,自引:1,他引:13

Fourteen soybean ( Glycine max [L.] Merr.) cultivars were analysed and found to differ considerably in aluminium (Al) resistance. The cultivars Suzunari (Al-resistant) and Shishio (Al-sensitive) were selected for further analysis of physiological mechanisms of Al-resistance. The relative root growth of Shishio was 48% compared to 76% for Suzunari in response to 15 μ M Al (24 h). Aluminium accumulation and Al-induced callose formation in root apices were 50 and 25% of that in Suzunari, respectively. Al inhibited both Suzunari and Shishio during the first 6 h of exposure. However, the root growth inhibition was further increased in Shishio but not in Suzunari, suggesting an Al-induced Al-resistant mechanism operating in Suzunari. Organic acid analysis in root exudates of both cultivars revealed that they specifically exuded citrate in response to Al. However, the citrate exudation rate was significantly higher in Suzunari during the 6 h/24 h Al treatment, which was 52/330 compared to Shishio's 26/118 (nmol [g root fresh weight]−1 [6 h]−1 ), respectively. This Al-induced citric acid exudation was found to be specific for Al, as several other metals failed to induce citrate exudation in both cultivars. Fourteen days of P deficiency did not elicit citrate excretion in both cultivars, while application of Al to P-deficient plants rapidly induced citrate exudation in both cultivars, confirming the specificity of the response of these soybean cultivars to Al. To our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating an Al-exclusion mechanism in soybean cultivars, which is conferred by enhanced and specific Al-induced exudation of citrate. 相似文献

To investigate the configuration and function of microtubules (MTs) in tip-growing Medicago truncatula root hairs, we used immunocytochemistry or in vivo decoration by a GFP linked to a MT-binding domain. The two approaches gave similar results and allowed the study of MTs during hair development. Cortical MTs (CMTs) are present in all developmental stages. During the transition from bulge to a tip-growing root hair, endoplasmic MTs (EMTs) appear at the tip of the young hair and remain there until growth arrest. EMTs are a specific feature of tip-growing hairs, forming a three-dimensional array throughout the subapical cytoplasmic dense region. During growth arrest, EMTs, together with the subapical cytoplasmic dense region, progressively disappear, whereas CMTs extend further toward the tip. In full-grown root hairs, CMTs, the only remaining population of MTs, converge at the tip and their density decreases over time. Upon treatment of growing hairs with 1 microM oryzalin, EMTs disappear, but CMTs remain present. The subapical cytoplasmic dense region becomes very short, the distance nucleus tip increases, growth slows down, and the nucleus still follows the advancing tip, though at a much larger distance. Taxol has no effect on the cytoarchitecture of growing hairs; the subapical cytoplasmic dense region remains intact, the nucleus keeps its distance from the tip, but growth rate drops to the same extent as in hairs treated with 1 microM oryzalin. The role of EMTs in growing root hairs is discussed. 相似文献

Although regulation of the dynamics of plant microtubules (MTs) by microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) has been suggested, the mechanism has not yet been elucidated. As one candidate, a MAP composed of a 65 kDa polypeptide (65 kDa MAP) has been isolated from tobacco cultured cells [Jiang and Sonobe (1993), J. Cell Sci 105: 8911. To investigate the physiological role of the 65 kDa MAP in situ, we analyzed the changes in content and colocalization of this MAP with cortical MTs in relation to elongation growth, using azuki bean epicotyls (Vigna angularis Ohwi et Ohashi). All apical, intermediate, and basal segments prepared from 6 d seedlings showed high growth activity. In 12 d seedlings, growth activity of intermediate and basal segments was low, although that of apical segments was high. The relationship between the growth activity and the orientation of cortical MTs in the epidermal cells was analyzed. Cells could be classified into four types with respect to orientation of cortical MTs: transverse (T), oblique (O), longitudinal (L) to the vertical axis of cells, and random (R). In rapidly growing segments, three types of cells, T, O, L, were observed at similar ratios. In such segments, significant amounts of the 65 kDa MAP were expressed, and it colocalized well with cortical MTs. In segments showing low growth activity, most of the cells showed oblique and longitudinal orientation of cortical MTs. In such segments, the content of the 65 kDa MAP was low. These results suggested involvement of this 65 kDa MAP in regulation of the elongation growth of this epicotyl. 相似文献

Abstract. The time- and dose-dependency of the mutagenic effects of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), a thymidine analogue used for cell kinetics studies in vivo and in vitro , were investigated in FM3A cells. Cells incubated with 50–1000 fin BrdU for 72 h showed some inhibition of growth. Cells cultured in BrdU-free medium for 3 d after a 30 min or 2 h exposure to BrdU showed no growth inhibition, while those previously exposed for 24 h to BrdU showed retarded growth. After a 30 min exposure, 60% of cells were labelled with BrdU; after 2 h 70%; and after 24 h almost 100%. After incubation in BrdU-free medium for 3 d (the time required for this cell line to express mutation), cells previously treated for 30 min or 2 h showed reduced BrdU positivity, whereas almost 100% of those treated for 24 h remained BrdU positive. The mutation rate, determined by the number of colonies resistant to ouabain (2 mM) and 6-thioguanine (10 μ) 3 d after exposure to BrdU, was not affected by a 30 min treatment with up to 1000 μ BrdU. Cells treated for 1 or 2 h showed increased resistance to ouabain after exposure to BrdU at concentrations above 100 μM; cells treated for 12 or 24 h showed an increased mutation rate at BrdU concentrations above 50 μM… The number of colonies resistant to 6-thioguanine did not increase in cells treated with BrdU at concentrations up to 1000 μM for 1, 12 or 24 h. We cannot conclude with certainty that brief exposure to BrdU does not modulate DNA to the point of mutation. This study may serve as a guideline for limiting the dose and time of exposure to BrdU for cell kinetics studies in vivo and in vitro. 相似文献

Aluminum-induced cell death in root-tip cells of barley 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Aluminum-induced cell death was investigated in root-tip cells of barley (Hordeum vulgare). The growth of roots in 0.1-50 mM Al treatments was inhibited after 8 h treatments, and could not be recovered after 24 h recovery culture without Al. Viable detection with fluorescein diacetate-propidium iodide (FDA-PI) staining shows that most of the root-tip cells have lost viability. These results suggest that the irreversible inhibition of root growth after 8 h Al treatments or 24 h recovery culture is mainly caused by cell death. DNA ladders occurred in root tips only after 8 h Al treatments (0.1-1.0 mM), but no apoptotic bodies in root tips were observed. Thus, the cell death caused by Al stress is likely to be Al-induced programmed cell death (PCD). The reactive oxygen species (ROS) in root-tip cells measured by ultraweak luminescence indicated that the oxidation status in root-tip cells basically ceased after exposure to 10-50 mM Al for 24 h, but was very violent in the root-tip cells treated with 0.1-1.0 mM for 24 h. Exposure to 0.1-1.0 mM Al for 3-12 h led to ROS burst. Therefore, our results suggest that 0.1-1.0 mM Al treatments for 8 h induce cell death (Al-induced PCD) possibly via a ROS-activated signal transduction pathway, whereas 10-50 mM Al treatments may cause necrosis in the root-tip cells. These results have an important role for further studies on the mechanism of Al toxicity in plants. 相似文献

Symplastic intercellular transport in plants is achieved by plasmodesmata (PD). These cytoplasmic channels are well known to interconnect plant cells to facilitate intercellular movement of water, nutrients, and signaling molecules including hormones. However, it is not known whether Al may affect this cell-to-cell transport process, which is a critical feature for roots as organs of nutrient/water uptake. We have microinjected the dye lucifer yellow carbohydrazide into peripheral root cells of an Al-sensitive wheat (Triticum aestivum cv Scout 66) either before or after Al treatment and followed the cell-to-cell dye-coupling through PD. Here we show that the Al-induced root growth inhibition is closely associated with the Al-induced blockage of cell-to-cell dye coupling. Immunofluorescence combined with immuno-electron microscopic techniques using monoclonal antibodies against 1-->3-beta-D-glucan (callose) revealed circumstantial evidence that Al-induced callose deposition at PD may responsible for this blockage of symplastic transport. Use of 2-deoxy-D-glucose, a callose synthesis inhibitor, allowed us to demonstrate that a reduction in callose particles correlated well with the improved dye-coupling and reduced root growth inhibition. While assessing the tissue specificity of this Al effect, comparable responses were obtained from the dye-coupling pattern in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) mesophyll cells. Analyses of the Al-induced expression of PD-associated proteins, such as calreticulin and unconventional myosin VIII, showed enhanced fluorescence and co-localizations with callose deposits. These results suggest that Al-signal mediated localized alterations to calcium homeostasis may drive callose formation and PD closure. Our data demonstrate that extracellular Al-induced callose deposition at PD could effectively block symplastic transport and communication in higher plants. 相似文献

Gibberellic acid is known to stabilise microtubules in plant organs against depolymerisation. We have now devised a simplified cell system for studying this. Pretreatment of a maize cell suspension with gibberellic acid for just 3 h stabilised protoplast microtubules against depolymerisation on ice. In other eukaryotes, acetylation of alpha-tubulin is known to correlate with microtubule stabilisation but this is not established in plants. By isolating the polymeric tubulin fraction from maize cytoskeletons and immunoblotting with the antibody 6-11B-1, we have demonstrated that gibberellic acid stimulates the acetylation of alpha-tubulin. This is the first demonstrated link between microtubule stabilisation and tubulin acetylation in higher plants. 相似文献

We aimed to analyze the rheological characteristics during elongation of the root segments in Lemna minor. The elastic component of segment elongation (EC) increased for the first 6 h, and then almost stopped. However, the plastic component of the segment elongation (PC) began to rapidly increase from 6 h onwards. Uniconazole-P, a gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitor, inhibited the total elongation of root segments (TE), and this inhibition was mainly caused by suppression of the rapid increase in the PC after 6 h. Concomitant with this inhibition, the cortical microtubule (CMT) array within root epidermal cells became disorganized in the presence of uniconazole-P from 6 h onwards. Adding GA3 abolished the inhibition of TE by uniconazole-P treatment, and this recovery was caused not by the increase in the EC but by an increase in the PC. Furthermore, the CMT arrays also recovered their characteristic organization in the presence of GA3. These findings suggest that endogenous gibberellin accelerates TE by activating the PC via control of CMT arrays. This conclusion is also supported by rheological analysis where propyzamide was used to disrupt microtubules. We suggest that endogenous gibberellin controls the PC via its influence over the transverse arrangement of CMTs. 相似文献
