Assessing Stomatal Response to Live Bacterial Cells using Whole Leaf Imaging

Stomata are natural openings in the plant epidermis responsible for gas exchange between plant interior and environment. They are formed by a pair of guard cells, which are able to close the stomatal pore in response to a number of external factors including light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, and relative humidity (RH). The stomatal pore is also the main route for pathogen entry into leaves, a crucial step for disease development. Recent studies have unveiled that closure of the pore is effective in minimizing bacterial disease development in Arabidopsis plants; an integral part of plant innate immunity. Previously, we have used epidermal peels to assess stomatal response to live bacteria (Melotto et al. 2006); however maintaining favorable environmental conditions for both plant epidermal peels and bacterial cells has been challenging. Leaf epidermis can be kept alive and healthy with MES buffer (10 mM KCl, 25 mM MES-KOH, pH 6.15) for electrophysiological experiments of guard cells. However, this buffer is not appropriate for obtaining bacterial suspension. On the other hand, bacterial cells can be kept alive in water which is not proper to maintain epidermal peels for long period of times. When an epidermal peel floats on water, the cells in the peel that are exposed to air dry within 4 hours limiting the timing to conduct the experiment. An ideal method for assessing the effect of a particular stimulus on guard cells should present minimal interference to stomatal physiology and to the natural environment of the plant as much as possible. We, therefore, developed a new method to assess stomatal response to live bacteria in which leaf wounding and manipulation is greatly minimized aiming to provide an easily reproducible and reliable stomatal assay. The protocol is based on staining of intact leaf with propidium iodide (PI), incubation of staining leaf with bacterial suspension, and observation of leaves under laser scanning confocal microscope. Finally, this method allows for the observation of the same live leaf sample over extended periods of time using conditions that closely mimic the natural conditions under which plants are attacked by pathogens.     

Blue light inhibits stomatal development in soybean isolines containing kaempferol-3-O-2G-glycosyl-gentiobioside (K9), a unique flavonoid glycoside

Stomata have a fundamental role in controlling plant photosynthesis and transpiration, but very little is known about factors controlling stomatal differentiation and development. Lines of soybean that contain a specific flavonol glycoside, kaempferol‐3‐O‐2‐glycosyl‐gentiobioside (K9), as well as greatly reduced stomatal density, especially on the adaxial epidermis, have been identified. The specific effects of blue light photoreceptors on stomatal development in K9 lines and their isoline pairs containing no K9 were studied. Low irradiances of blue light (7% of total photosynthetically active radiation) added to high irradiances from low‐pressure sodium lamps strongly inhibited stomatal development on the adaxial epidermis of K9 lines, but not in isoline pairs differing putatively in only one gene and lacking K9. Overall, blue light slightly increased stomatal density on the abaxial epidermis in all isolines, demonstrating differential regulation of stomatal development in the upper and lower epidermis. Blue light also caused an increase in leaf area in all isolines, indicating that changes in stomatal density were not the non‐specific result of alterations in leaf area. Morphological studies revealed that the blue light‐induced reduction in stomatal density in K9 lines was due to reduced stomatal initiation as well as aborted or abnormal stomatal development. As the phytochrome photostationary state was kept constant, the results indicate that one or more blue light receptors are involved in the control of stomatal development. This system should be useful for the study of mechanisms controlling stomatal development, even if the photo‐inhibitory response is unique to K9 lines.     

Leaf epidermal characters related with plant's passive resistance to pathogens vary among accessions of wild beans Phaseolus vulgaris var. aborigineus (Leguminosae–Phaseoleae)

We report here whether accessions of Phaseolus vulgaris var. aborigineus, collected from the southernmost part of the Andean domestication center of common bean, presented differences among leaf epidermal characters. Epidermal microcharacters such as deposition of wax crystalloids, cuticle thickness, trichome types, size and density, stomata types and size, stomatal density and index were examined on the surface of 66 leaves of 11 accessions of P. vulgaris var. aborigineus by means of light and scanning electron microscopy. Unlike the leaves of cultivated beans, those of P. vulgaris var. aborigineus were hypostomatous. Among epidermal characters only the stomatal density, stomatal index, and the number of trichomes on the abaxial leaf epidermis were different between bean accessions. The stomatal density and index of the accessions were inversely related to the altitude of the area of the wild bean collection. This is the first report describing the presence of diversity among epidermal characters (e.g. hypostomatous leaves) in P. vulgaris var. aborigineus that might contribute to plant resistance to pathogens.     

麦冬、土麦冬和阔叶土麦冬叶表皮形态结构的观察

用光镜和扫描电镜观察了麦冬（Ophiopogon japonicus（L．f）Ker—Gawl.]、土麦冬（Liriope spicata Lour．）和阔叶土麦冬（L．platyphylla Wanget Tang）叶表皮显微结构、亚显微结构和角质层内表面的形态结构。结果表明,气孔主要分布于麦冬、土麦冬和阔叶土麦冬叶片的下表皮,气孔密度分别为76．4、114．3和99．8个·mm^-2;仅阔叶土麦冬叶片上表皮有少量气孔分布。3种植物的气孔器均不具有副卫细胞,并在叶脉间形成纵向气孔带。表皮细胞长方形,气孔带与非气孔带处表皮细胞的形态和大小差异较明显。麦冬气孔周围的表皮细胞平周壁具明显瘤状突起,导致气孔下陷;土麦冬气孔周围的表皮细胞平周壁呈波浪状突起,使气孔相对下陷;阔叶土麦冬气孔周围的表皮细胞平周壁基本无突起,气孔不下陷。3种植物的叶表皮均有发达的角质层和丰富的蜡质,且蜡质主要分布于下表皮气孔带处。这些结构特征可能与它们所具有的喜阳、耐阴和耐旱等特性有一定的相关性。     

八角目(Illiciales)植物花被片表皮比较形态

Light and stomatal metabolism : I. Possible involvement of light modulation of enzymes in stomatal movement

New evidence is provided regarding the direct effect of light on stomatal opening in the epidermis of the pea (Pisum sativum L. var Little Marvel) leaf. Light modulates the activity of a number of key enzymes involved in stomatal metabolism. When isolated epidermal strips are illuminated, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, NADP-malate dehydrogenase, and NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase are activated; and aspartate aminotransferase is inactivated. Sulfhydryl compounds, dithiothreitol and glutathione, enhance stomatal opening in epidermal strips both in light or darkness while the sulfhydryl reagent N-ethylmaleimide inhibits, indicating the possible involvement of sulfhydryl groups in stomatal movements. Further, light treatment increases measureable thiol levels in the epidermis about 3-fold. These results suggest that light modulation of enzymes in the epidermis may play a significant role in the mechanism of stomatal movement.

Relationship between stomatal frequencies,yield components and morphological characters in collections of winter wheat cultivars

Genotypes on the Belgian national list as well as about 120 genotypes of winter wheat from the world collection were examined for the relationships of their stomatal frequencies in the flag leaf with yield, yield components and other morphological characters. Stomata were in rows, with a higher density in adaxial leaf surface. Cultivars differed significantly in both stomatal density and number of rows of stomata per unit of leaf width. Yield and morphological characters in general showed no significant correlation with stomatal frequencies. Densities in all series examined ranged from 46 to 78 stomata per mm² in the adaxial leaf epidermis and from 32 to 93 in the abaxial one.     

矮嵩草草甸主要植物气孔分布及开闭规律与蒸腾强度的关系

本文研究了高寒矮嵩草草甸6种植物叶片气孔的分布、密度和开闭日变化规律与蒸腾强度的关系。结果表明：多数植物上下表皮均有气孔分布,而矮嵩草的气孔集中分布在下表皮,羊茅的气孔集中分布在上表皮。同一植物类群中,叶片气孔密度大者,植物蒸腾强度也相对较高。气孔日变化是在日出后,随气温和大气湿度的变化而变化,在9时和午后3时气孔几乎全部张开,然后逐渐关闭。植物蒸腾强度随气孔开闭而发生变化,矮嵩草的蒸腾强度在11时左右达到峰值;垂穗披碱草和美丽风毛菊是在午后1时达到峰值,植物没有“午睡” 现象。     

8种绿化树种光合特性及叶片解剖结构比较

城市绿化不仅包含了园林绿化的美化作用,还具有重要的生态功能,其生态功能是通过植物的生理活动实现的。光合能力在种间和基因型间的变化很大,这些差异通常与代谢和(或)叶片的解剖结构的性质有关。本研究选择8种哈尔滨常见树种,采用Li-6400便携式光合测定系统对叶净光合速率(P_n)、呼吸速率(R_d)、蒸腾速率(T_r)、气孔导度(G_s)、胞间CO_2浓度(C_i)等进行测定,并利用显微镜观察测定叶片厚度、表皮厚度、栅栏组织厚度、海绵组织厚度,从而探讨叶片结构对光合生理的影响。结果表明:8个树种间叶片最大光合速率、气孔导度、胞间CO_2浓度、蒸腾速率、光饱和点差异显著(P <0.05);表皮厚度、栅栏组织厚度、上表皮气孔密度和下表皮气孔密度差异显著(P <0.05)。虽然8个树种间光合能力和叶片解剖结构的差异较大,但分析发现其间也存在一定的相关性。其中,光饱和点与叶表皮厚度显著正相关(P <0.01),相关系数为0.78。胞间CO_2浓度与上表皮气孔密度显著负相关(P <0.05),相关系数为-0.65。而最大光合速率、呼吸速率、蒸腾速率和光补偿点与表皮厚度、栅栏组织厚度、海绵组织厚度、上表皮气孔密度和下表皮气孔密度相关均不显著(P> 0.05)。胞间CO_2浓度与表皮厚度、栅栏组织厚度、海绵组织厚度和下表皮气孔密度相关均不显著(P> 0.05)。光饱和点与栅栏组织厚度、海绵组织厚度、上表皮气孔密度和下表皮气孔密度相关均不显著(P> 0.05)。虽然对叶片结构对生理过程的影响的机理还需要进一步研究,但是我们认为叶片解剖结构的研究可以更好地理解生理指标的变化。     

岷江上游干旱河谷海拔梯度上四川黄栌叶片特征及其与环境因子的关系

研究了岷江上游干旱河谷海拔梯度上四川黄栌（Cotinus coggygria）叶片特征及变化特点,以及它们与环境变化的相互关系。测定指标有叶片形念结构（叶长、叶宽、叶面积和叶长／叶宽）,表皮特征（气孔器密度和面积、孔径、表皮细胞密度和面积）以及生态特征（生物量、比叶最、饱和含水量）。结果表明。随着海拔升高叶长,叶宽、叶面积、生物量、饱和含水量以及表皮细胞面积呈增大趋势;而表皮细胞密度呈减小趋势;气孔器面积和比叶重在海拔1950m以下,随着海拔上升而增加。1950m的区域明显减小,气孔器密度的变化趋势与之相反;孔径和叶长／叶宽无明显变化。多元统计分析显示,叶面积、饱和含水世和气孔器面积主要与温和度有关,三者随着海拔升高和温和度降低呈增大趋势;随着水热综合因子的增加,气孔器密度减小而孔径和比叶重增大;随着年降水量的增加生物量和气孔器面积基增大趋势,面表皮细胞密度减小;表皮细胞面积随着生物温度降低而增加。综合分析表明,岷江上游干旱河谷缺水和生长季节高温是影响叶片特征变化的主要因素。
