High performance liquid chromatography analysis of different parts of Sclerotium rolfsii-infected and healthy seedlings of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) was carried out to examine the status of phenolic compounds. Three major peaks that appeared consistently were identified as gallic, vanillic and ferulic acids. Gallic acid concentrations were increased in the leaves and stems of infected plants compared to healthy ones. Vanillic acid detected in stems and leaves of healthy seedlings was not detected in infected seedlings. There was a significant increase of ferulic acid in those stem portions located above the infected collar region compared to minimal amounts in the roots of healthy seedlings. In vitro studies of ferulic acid showed significant antifungal activity against S. rolfsii. Complete inhibition of mycelial growth was observed with 1000 g of ferulic acid/ml. Lower concentrations (250, 500 and 750 g/ml) were also inhibitory and colony growth was compact in comparison with the fluffy growth of normal mycelium. Higher amounts of phenolics were found in the stems and leaves of S. rolfsii-infected seedlings in comparison to the healthy ones. A role for ferulic acid in preventing infections by S. rolfsii in the stems and leaves of chickpea plants above the infection zone is therefore feasible. 相似文献

The enzymatic capacity for metabolism of poly-(beta)-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) has been examined in nitrogen-fixing symbioses of soybean (Glycine max L.) plants, which may accumulate substantial amounts of PHB, and chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) plants, which contain little or no PHB. In the free-living state, both Bradyrhizobium japonicum CB 1809 and Rhizobium sp. (Cicer) CC 1192, which form nodules on soybean and chickpea plants, respectively, produced substantial amounts of PHB. To obtain information on why chickpea bacteroids do not accumulate PHB, the specific activities of enzymes of PHB metabolism (3-ketothiolase, acetoacetyl-coenzyme A reductase, PHB depolymerase, and 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase), the tricarboxylic acid cycle (malate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase), and related reactions (malic enzyme, pyruvate dehydrogenase, and glutamate:2-oxoglutarate transaminase) were compared in extracts from chickpea and soybean bacteroids and the respective free-living bacteria. Significant differences were noted between soybean and chickpea bacteroids and between the bacteroid and free-living forms of Rhizobium sp. (Cicer) CC 1192, with respect to the capacity for some of these reactions. It is suggested that a greater potential for oxidizing malate to oxaloacetate in chickpea bacteroids may be a factor that favors the utilization of acetyl-coenzyme A in the tricarboxylic acid cycle over PHB synthesis. 相似文献

Bacteroids in ineffective (nitrogenase negative) nodules of Glycine max, infected with Rhizobium japonicum 61-A-24, as compared to those in effective nodules are characterized by reduced specific activities of alanine dehydrogenase to 15%, of 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase to 50%, and an increase of glutamine synthetase to 400%. In the plant cytoplasm of ineffective nodules, glutamine synthetase activity is reduced to 10–30%, glutamate dehydrogenase to 50–70%, and the aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase are enhanced to 120–200%, depending on the age of the nodules. The total pool of soluble amino acids is reduced to 52 mol per g nodule fresh weight, as compared to 186 mol in effective nodules, with a replacement of asparagine (42 mol% of the amino acids) by an unknown amino compound. This compound is absent in nitrogenase, repressed and derepressed, free-living Rhizobium japonicum cells and in the uninfected root tissue. In nitrogenase derepressed, as compared to the repressed free-living cells of Rhizobium japonicum 61-A-101, arginine shows the most obvious change with a reduction to less than one tenth. The ultrastructure of the ineffective nodule is different from the effective organ even in the early stages. The membrane envelopes of the infection vacuoles are decomposing in heavily infected cells within 18 to 20 d after infection. In lightly infected cells very large vacuoles develop with only a few bacteroids inside. No close associations of cristae-rich mitochondria with amyloplasts are observed as in effective nodules. The uninfected cells keep their large starch granules even 40 d after infection. Some poly--hydroxybutyrate accumulation in the bacteroids is observed but only in the early stages, and it is almost absent in old nodules (40 d). At this age the infected cells are obviously compressed by uninfected cells, whereas in effective nodules with nitrogenase activity and leghaemoglobin formation, the infected cells have a much higher osmotic pressure than the neighbouring uninfected cells.Abbreviations PHBA

The response ofCicer arietinum to inoculation withGlomus versiforme under field conditions was investigated in a phosphorus deficient sandy loam soil. Inoculation with the mycorrhizal fungusGlomus versiforme increased the rate of VAM development in chickpea. The weight of nodules and the number of nodules per plant were higher
in inoculated than in uninoculated plants. The phosphorus content of the shoots and its total uptake, were increased by either
the application of single super-phosphate, or by inoculation withG. versiforme. Inoculation increased shoot dry weights and grain yields by 12% and 25% respectively, as compared with the 33% and 60% increases
respectively produced by P-treated plants. 相似文献

The linked structural genes lux A and lux B, encoding bacterial luciferase of a marine bacterium Vibrio harveyi, were fused with the nitrogenase nifD promoter from Bradyrhizobium japonicum and with the P1 promoter of pBR322. Both fusions were integrated into the B. japonicum chromosome by site-specific recombination. Soybean roots infected with the two types of rhizobium transconjugants formed nitrogen-fixing nodules that produced bright blue-green light. Cells containing the P1 promoter/lux AB fusion resulted in continuously expressed bioluminescence in both free-living rhizobium and in nodule bacteriods. However, when under control of the nifD promoter, luciferase activity was found only in introgen-fixing nodules. Light emission from bacteroids allowed us to visualize and to photograph nodules expressing this marker gene fusion in vivo at various levels of resolution, including within single, living plant cells. Localization of host cells containing nitrogen-fixing bacteroids within nodule tissue was accomplished using low-light video microscopy aided by realtime image processing techniques developed specifically to enhance extreme low-level luminescent images. 相似文献

The efficacy of benzyladenine (BA) to induce multiple shoots from seed explants of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) was assessed. Shoot differentiation was influenced by the type of seed explant, genotype and concentration of BA. Orientation of the explant also strongly influenced the shoot regeneration response. The optimum BA concentration for shoot/shoot bud regeneration was genotype dependent. Two types of BA-induced response were observed: (1) at less than 7.5 gm BA, direct shoot differentiation (2 to 4-cm-long shoots) was observed within 30 days; (2) at higher BA concentrations (75–100 m), shoot/shoot bud differentiation was achieved in 45–90 days. A high BA concentration inhibited subsequent rooting of shoots. Roots, however, could be easily induced on shoots derived from <12.5 m BA. Following transfer to soil, 80% of the regenerants developed into morphologically normal and fertile plants.Abbreviations

Plants of Glycine max var. Caloria, infected as 14 d old seedlings with a defined titre of Rhizobium japonicum 3Il b85 in a 10 min inoculation test, develop a sharp maximum of nitrogenase activity between 17 and 25 d after infection. This maximum (14±3 nmol C2H4 h-1 mg nodule fresh weight-1), expressed as per mg nodule or per plant is followed by a 15 d period of reduced nitrogen fixation (20–30% of peak activity). 11 d after infection the first bacteroids develop as single cells inside infection vacuoles in the plant cells, close to the cell wall and infection threads. As a cytological marker for peak multiplication of bacteroids and for peak N2-fixation a few days later the association of a special type of nodule mitochondria with amyloplasts is described. 20 d after inoculation, more than 80% of the volume of infected plant cells is occupied by infection vacuoles, mostly containing only one bacteroid. The storage of poly--hydroxybutyrate starts to accumulate at both ends of the bacteroids. Non infected plant cells are squeezed between infected cells (25d), with infection vacuoles containing now more than two (up to five) bacteroids per section. Bacteroid development including a membrane envelope is also observed in the intercellular space between plant cells. 35 d after infection, more than 50% of the bacteroid volume is occupied by poly--hydroxybutyrate. The ultrastructural differentiation is discussed in relation to some enzymatic data in bacteroids and plant cell cytoplasm during nodule development. 相似文献

Crude, Sephadex-filtered extracts of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) root nodules contained invertase (E.C. 3.2.1.26) activity with pH optima at 5.4 and 7.8, ,-trehalase (E.C. 3.2.1.28) activity with pH optima at 3.8 and 6.6, and maltase (E.C. 3.2.1.20) activity with a broad pH optimum between 4.5 and 5.0. Bacteroids and cytosol were separated using Percoll density gradients. Cellulase and pectinase were employed to separate protoplasts from the infected region from the nodule cortex, which remained intract. Assays of disaccharidases from these nodule fractions indicated the following localization of enzymes: (1) Bacteroids lack invertase activity (pH 5.4 and 7.8). (2) Much, if not most, of the invertase activity may be localized in the nodule cortex; this is especially likely for acid invertase. However, there was substantial invertase activity in cytosol from the infected region. (3) Most of the maltase activity (pH 5.0) and trehalase activity (pH 3.8 and 6.6) were localized in the cytosol. It is likely that most of these disaccharidase activities are in the cytosol of the infected region, in contrast to invertase. (4) Bacteroids contain maltase (pH 5.0) and trehalase (pH 3.8 and 6.6), but the amount of these enzyme activities was less than 15% of total activity in nodules. Bacteroids and nodule cortex were capable of in-vivo hydrolysis of [14C]trehalose and [14C]maltose. These disaccharides were also hydrolyzed by soybean roots and hypocotyls. Therefore, while ,-trehalose in soybean nodules is probably synthesized by the bacteroids, the capability for utilization of trehalose was not restricted to the bacteroids.Approved for publication as Journal Article 74–81 of the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center 相似文献

A transposon-induced mutant (T8-1) of Bradyrhizobium japonicum (61A76) was unable to develop into the nitrogen-fixing endosymbiotic form, the bacteroid. Comparison between this mutant and T5-95, an ineffective (non-nitrogen fixing, Fix-) mutant, confirmed that the process of bacteroid development is a distinct phase of differentiation of the endosymbiont and is independent of nitrogen fixation activity. The T8-1 mutant was able to induce normal-size nodules which differentiated two plant cell types and contained numerous infection threads. However, the infected cells were devoid of bacteroids. Electron microscopy revealed that the ends of the infection threads were broken down in a normal manner once the thread had penetrated the cells, but the mutant was not internalized by endocytosis. The lack of peribacteroid membrane (PBM) in nodules induced by this mutant was correlated with a reduced level of expression of plant genes coding for PBM nodulins. These genes were expressed in the T5-95 mutant, showing that the low expression in T8-1 was not due to the lack of nitrogen fixation. One of the PBM nodulins, nodulin-26, was found at normal levels in the nodules which lack PBM, suggesting that there are at least two developmental stages in PBM biosynthesis. These data suggest that a coordination of plant and Rhizobium gene expression is required for the release and internalization of bacteria into the PBM compartments of infected cells of nodules.author for correspondence 相似文献

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) seeds contain Bowman–Birk proteinase inhibitors, which are ineffective against the digestive proteinases of larvae of the insect pest Helicoverpa armigera. We have identified and purified a low expressing proteinase inhibitor (PI), distinct from the Bowman–Birk Inhibitors and active against H. armigera gut proteinases (HGP), from chickpea seeds. N-terminal sequencing of this HGP inhibitor revealed a sequence similar to reported pea (Pisum sativum) and chickpea -l-fucosidases and also homologous to legume Kunitz inhibitors. The identity was confirmed by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization – time of flight analysis of tryptic peptides and isolation of DNA sequence coding for the mature protein. Available sequence data showed that this protein forms a distinct phylogenetic cluster with Kunitz inhibitors from Glycine max, Medicago truncatula, P. sativum and Canavalia lineata. The isolated coding sequence was cloned into a yeast expression vector and produced as a recombinant protein in Pichia pastoris. -l-fucosidase activity was not detectable in purified or recombinant protein, by solution assays. The recombinant protein did not inhibit chymotrypsin or subtilisin activity but did exhibit stoichiometric inhibition of trypsin, comparable to soybean Kunitz trypsin inhibitor. The recombinant protein exhibited higher inhibition of total HGP activity as compared to soybean kunitz inhibitor, even though it preferentially inhibited HGP-trypsins. H. armigera larvae fed on inhibitor-incorporated artificial diet showed significant reduction in average larval weight after 18 days of feeding demonstrating potent antimetabolic activity. The over-expression of this gene in chickpea could act as an endogenous source of resistance to H. armigera. 相似文献

A standard pachytene karyotype of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is presented for the first time. Individual pachytene chromosomes were identified and described in detail. An idiogram was prepared on the basis of chromosome length, arm ratio, and distribution of heterochromatin and euchromatin. Chickpea pachytene chromosomes belong to the differentiated type with darker staining heterochromatin proximal to and lighter staining euchromatin distal to the centromeres. Chromosomes were numbered from 1 to 8 following a descending order of length. The total length of the chromosome complement at pachytene was 335.33 , and chromosome size ranged from 58.05 to 30.53 . 相似文献

In vitro regeneration in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) was achieved by direct culture of mature seeds on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with either N-phenyl-N(-1,2,3-thidiazol-5-yl) urea (thidiazuron, TDZ) or N6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). Multiple shoots formed de novo without an intermediary callus phase at the cotyledonary notch region of the seedlings within 2 to 3 weeks of culture initiation. TDZ was found to be more effective compared to BAP as an inductive signal of regeneration. The former induced multiple shoot formation at all the concentrations tested (1 M to 100 M), although, maximum morphogenic response was observed at 10 M concentration. Addition of naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) alone or in combination with BAP to the MS medium failed to invoke a similar response. When the TDZ supplemented medium was amended with L-proline, the resultant regenerants were mostly somatic embryos. Histological investigations confirmed the switch in the regeneration pathway from directly formed adventitious shoots to embryogenesis. For obtaining plantlets, adventitious shoots were rooted on MS medium supplemented with 2.5 M NAA; somatic embryos were germinated and established on MS medium. Normal plants were regenerated from both adventitious shoots and somatic embryos and transferred to soil.Abbreviations BAP

For the purpose of developing an in vitro regeneration system for chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), an important food legume, immature cotyledons approximately 5 mm long were excised from developing embryos and cultured on B5 basal medium supplemented with 1.5% sucrose and various growth regulator combinations. Only non-morphogenic callus was formed in response to concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) previously reported to induce somatic embryogenesis on immature soybean cotyledons. However, 4.6, 13.7, and 45.6 M zeatin induced formation of white, cotyledon-like structures (CLS) at the proximal end of immature cotyledons placed with adaxial surface facing the agar medium. No morphogenesis, or occasional formation of fused, deformed CLS, was observed when zeatin was replaced with kinetin or 6-benzyladenine, respectively. The highest response frequency, 64% of explants forming CLS, was induced by 13.7 M zeatin plus 0.2 M indole-acetic acid (IAA). Within 20–40 days culture on zeatin, shoots formed at the base of CLS on approximately 50% of CLS-bearing explants, and proliferated upon subsequent transfer to basal medium with 4.4 M BA or 4.6 M kinetin. This regeneration system may be useful for genetic transformation of chickpea. 相似文献

A glasshouse experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of soil pH on chickpea (Cicer arietinum) tolerance to isoxaflutole applied pre-emergence at 0, 75 (recommended rate) and 300 g a.i. ha−1. For this study, the variables examined were two desi chickpea genotypes (97039-1275 as a tolerant line and 91025-3021 as
a sensitive line) and four pH levels (5.1, 6.9, 8.1, and 8.9). The results demonstrated differential tolerances among chickpea
genotypes to isoxaflutole at different rates and soil pH levels. Isoxaflutole applied pre-emergence resulted in increased
phytotoxicity with increases in soil pH and herbicide rate. Even the most tolerant chickpea genotype was damaged when exposed
to higher pH and herbicide rates, as indicated by increased leaf chlorosis and significant reductions in plant height, and
shoot and root dry weight. The effects were more severe with the sensitive genotype. The susceptibility of chickpea to this
herbicide depends on genotype and soil pH which should be taken into account in breeding new lines, and in the agronomy of
chickpea production. 相似文献

In nodules of Glycine max cv. Mandarin infected with a nod +fix- mutant of Rhizobium japonicum (RH 31-Marburg), lysis of bacteroids was observed 20 d after infection, but occurred in the region around the host cell nucleus, where lytic compartments were formed. Bacteroids, and peribacteroid membranes in other parts of the host cell remained stable until senescence (40d after infection). With two other nod+ fix- mutants of R. japonicum either stable bacteroids and peribacteroid membranes were observed throughout the cell (strain 61-A-165) or a rapid degeneration of bacteroids without an apparent lysis (strain USDA 24) occurred. The size distribution of RH 31-Marburg-infected nodules exhibited only two maxima compared with four in wild-type nodules and nodule leghaemoglobin content was found to be reduced to about one half that of the wild type. The RH 31-Marburg-nodule type is discussed in relation to the stability of the bacteroids and the peribacteroid membrane system in soybean. 相似文献

Astragalus cicer (cicer milkvetch) nodule bacteria were investigated for host plant specificity and partial nodC gene sequences, whilst their native host was studied for the microscopic structure of root nodules. The strains under investigation formed nodules not only on the original host but also on Astragalus glycyphyllos, Astragalus sinicus, Lotus corniculatus, and Phaseolus vulgaris. The nodules induced on the cicer milkvetch were classified as indeterminate and characterized by apical, persistent meristem, a large bacteroid region with infected and uninfected cells, and elongated bacteroids singly located inside peribacteroid membranes. By comparison of the partial nodC gene sequences of a representative strain of astragali rhizobia to those contained in the GenBank database, a close symbiotic relationship of A. cicer microsymbionts to Rhizobium sp. (Oxytropis) was found. 相似文献

Chitinase and peroxidase, two enzymes thought to be involved in the defense of plants against pathogens, were measured in soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) roots and in nodules colonized by Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains differing in their symbiotic potential. Activities of both enzymes were higher in nodules than in roots. In effective, nitrogen-fixing nodules, colonized by wild-type bacteria, chitinase and peroxidase activities had low levels in the central infected zone and were enhanced primarily in the nodule cortex. An ascorbate-specific peroxidase, possibly involved in radical scavenging, had similarly high activities in the infected zone and in the cortex. Ineffective nodules colonized by bacteria unable to fix nitrogen symbiotically showed a similar distribution of chitinase and peroxidase. In another type of ineffective nodule, colonized by a B. japonicum strain eliciting a hypersensitive response, activities of both enzymes were enhanced to a similar degree in the infected zone as well as in the cortex. Tissue prints using a direct assay for peroxidase and an antiserum against bean chitinase corroborated these results. The antiserum against bean chitinase cross-reacted with a nodule protein of Mr 32 000; it inhibited most of the chitinase activity in the nodules but barely affected the chitinase in uninfected roots. It is concluded that proteins characteristic of the defense reaction accumulate in the cortex of nodules independently of their ability to fix nitrogen, and in the entire body of hypersensitively reacting nodules.Abbreviations PAGE

Summary Using a series of antibody probes as markers of symbiosome development, we have investigated the impaired development of symbiosomes
in nodules formed by the plant mutant line Sprint2Fix− (sym31). In wild-type pea (Pisum sativum L.) nodules, bacteria differentiate into large pleiomorphic, nitrogen-fixing bacteroids and are singly enclosed within a
peribacteroid membrane. In thesym31 mutant, several small undifferentiated bacteroids were often enclosed within one peribacteroid membrane, or were found
within a vacuole-like compartment. In wild-type nodules, the monoclonal antibody JIM18, which recognizes a plasmalemma glycolipid
antigen, bound to the juvenile peribacteroid membrane, and did not recognize the mature peribacteroid membrane. However, in
the mutant, the antibody bound to all peribacteroid membranes within the nodule, suggesting that differentiation of the peribacteroid
membrane was arrested. Another antibody, MAC266, recognized plant glycoproteins which normally accumulate in symbiosomes at
a late stage of nodule development. Binding of this antibody was much reduced within mutant nodules, labelling only a few
mature cells. Similarly, MAC301, which normally recognizes a lipopolysaccharide epitope expressed on differentiated bacteroids
prior to the induction of nitrogenase, failed to react with rhizobial cell extracts isolated from nodules of thesym31 mutant. On the basis of these developmental markers, the symbiosomes ofsym31 nodules appeared to be blocked at an early stage of development. The distribution of infection structures was also found
to be abnormal in the mutant nodules. Models of symbiosome development are presented and discussed in relation to the morphological
and developmental lesions observed in thesym31 mutant. 相似文献

Ascochyta blight [Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab.] is the most destructive disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), but it can be managed effectively by the use of resistant cultivars. Therefore, a breeding programme was initiated during 1977–78 at ICARDA, Syria, to breed blight-resistant, high-yielding chickpeas with other desirable agronomic traits. Crosses were made in main season at Tel Hadya, Syria, and the F1s were grown in the off season at Terbol, Lebanon. The F2, F4 and F5 generations were grown in a blight nursery in the main season where blight epidemic was artificially created. The plants and progenies were scored for blight resistance and other traits. The F3 and F6 generations were grown in the off season under normal day length to eliminate late-maturing plants. The pedigree method of breeding was followed initially, but was later replaced by the F4-derived family method. The yield assessment began with F7 lines, first at ICARDA sites and later internationally. A total of 1584 ascochyta blight-resistant chickpea lines were developed with a range of maturity, plant height, and seed size not previously available to growers in the blight-endemic areas in the Mediterranean region. These included 92 lines resistant to six races of the ascochyta pathogen, and 15 large-seeded and 28 early maturity lines. New cultivars produced 33% more seed yield than the original resistant sources. The yield of chickpea declined by 340 kg ha-1, with an increase in blight severity by one class on a 1–9 scale, reaching zero yield with the 8 and 9 classes. Development of blight-resistant lines made the introduction of winter sowing possible in the Mediterranean region with the prospect of doubling chickpea production. Twenty three cultivars have been released so far in 11 countries.Joint contribution from ICARDA and ICRISAT. ICRISAT Journal Article no. JA 1886. 相似文献
