Nitrate Uptake by Manganese-Deficient Lemon Plants

The uptake of nitrate and water was followed in Eureka lemon (Citrus limon (L.) Burm. f.) plants grown in solution culture in a greenhouse under short (3–6 months) and long-term (22–24 months) Mn-nutrition stress. Uptake was determined from depletion in the nutrient solution. Under short-term stress, manganese-deficient plants absorbed 14.5% more nitrate and 3.4% more water than the control plants, on a weight basis. Under long-term stress there was a three-fold increase in nitrate and a two-fold increase in water uptake in the Mn-deficient plants. The intensive nitrate uptake under Mn-deficiency stress was more spectacularly demonstrated in plants which were exposed also to low nitrogen supply. The low-nitrogen Mn-deficient plants absorbed more nitrate, had less stunted growth and developed fewer visible symptoms of both N and Mn deficiencies than high-nitrogen Mn-deficient plants.     

Cytokinins and Senescence in Lemon Leaves

The effect of leaf age on cytokinin level was studied in Citrus limon (L.) Burm. f. cv. Eureca. It was found that mature 1-year-old leaves and senescing 2-year-old leaves contained considerably more cytokinins than young 3-month-old leaves. No consistent distinct decrease in cytokinin activity was revealed when the leaf passed from the mature to the senescing state. It was concluded that the results cannot be regarded as supporting the hypothesis that leaf senescence is brought about, at least partially, by a decrease in the level of its cytokinins.     

Effect of Manganese Deficiency on Chloroplasts of Lemon Leaves

Manganese deficiency in chloroplasts of Eureka lemon leaves resulted in 23% and 40% increase of chloroplast nitrogen and protein, respectively, on a chlorophyll unit basis. Acrylamide gel electrophoresis carried out on extracts of these chloroplasts disclosed also qualitative differences between the normal and deficient leaves. Calculated on chloroplast N basis there is an increase of 17% in the chloroplast protein under Mn deficiency. This increase apparently indicates a more intense protein synthesis in the Mn deficient chloroplasts. Hill activity of the –Mn leaves was about one-third of the analog control leaves. Manganese infiltration into detached but intact leaves restored the activity in the –Mn leaves up to 70% of the control. Lemon leaves affected by other macro- and micro- nutrient deficiencies did not respond to the manganese infiltration; therefore, the use of this infiltration method is suggested for the evaluation of the manganese nutrition status of citrus and probably other higher plants.     

Nitrogen Metabolism in Senescing Leaves

Leaf senescence is a highly organized process and not a passive decay. Photosynthesizing mesophyll cells lose their functions in an early phase, while the epidermal layer with the stomates and the phloem remains functional throughout senescence. The subcellular compartmentation is maintained and allows the cooperation of different organelles in the remobilization of constituents. Nitrogen metabolism changes at the onset of senescence from assimilation to remobilization. Enzymes involved in nitrate reduction are lost, while some enzymes of intermediary nitrogen metabolism are maintained longer, and some catabolic enzymes reach highest activities during senescence. Chloroplasts are dismantled early, but mitochondria remain active and may fuel remobilization processes. Chloroplast proteins are degraded, and this nitrogen fraction can be translocated via the phloem from senescing leaves to sinks within the same plant. In contrast, chlorophyll is degraded, fragments produced reach the vacuole, and catabolites accumulate there. Nuclear DNA is maintained until a very late phase. The export of nitrogen from senescing plant parts is important for the economic use of this macronutrient. The regulation of senescence at the whole plant level as well as at the molecular level is only rudimentarily known, although interesting new aspects have been presented recently.

Palaeophytochemical Constituents of Cretaceous Ginkgo coriacea Florin Leaves

Chemical investigation of the organic solvent extract of Cretaceous Ginkgo coriacea Florin leaves by liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy （LC-MS） and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry （GC-MS）, analogous to those from extant leaves of Ginkgo biloba L., led to the detection of a group of natural flavonoids and other volatiles. The similarity of the chemical constituents in these two species of Ginkgo suggest that the secondary metabolism of extant G. biloba is close to that of the Cretaceous species. The remaining natural products may be one explanation why the leaves of the Cretaceous G. coriacea have been preserved morphologically in fossilization. The detection of flavonoids suggests that the leaves of G. coriacea experienced a mild post-depositional environment during their fossilization. This appears to be the oldest occurrence of flavonoids in plant fossils.

Interaction between Nitrogen Deficit of a Plant and Nitrogen Content in the Old Leaves

We examined changes in nitrogen content of the first leavesin relation to growth and nitrogen status of sunflower (Helianthusannuus L.) plants that were raised hydroponically at two irradiancelevels (high and low light, HL and LL) and at two nitrogen concentrations(high and low nitrogen, HN and LN). Initial increases in totaldry mass and total nitrogen of the whole plant were faster inHL-plants than in LL-plants irrespective of nitrogen supply,but in LN-plants the increase in total nitrogen was soon blunted.When plants grown under the same irradiance were compared, nitrogencontent of the first leaves (leaf N) decreased faster in LN-plantsthan in HN-plants, while for the plants grown at the same nitrogenconcentrations, it decreased faster in HL-plants than in LL-plants.Since these changes in leaf N were not explained solely by thechanges in plant dry mass or plant nitrogen, we introduced anindex, ‘nitrogen deficit (ND^*)’, to quantify nitrogendeficit of the whole plant. ND^* was expressed as ND^*(t)=[N_max–N(t)]xDM(t),where N_max and N(t) were nitrogen contents in the young, expandingleaves that had just unfolded to expand, at the initial stagewith sufficient nitrogen and at time t, respectively, and DM(t),plant dry mass at t. The decrease in leaf N was expressed asa liner function of ND^* irrespective of the growth conditions,which indicates validity of this index. Limitation of the useof ND^*, and mechanisms by which leaves sense nitrogen demandare also discussed. (Received June 17, 1996; Accepted August 30, 1996)
