Yield, carbon isotope discrimination, canopy reflectance and cuticular conductance of barley isolines of differing glaucousness 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Febrero A; Fernandez S; Molina-Cano J; Araus J 《Journal of experimental botany》1998,49(326):1575-1581
The roles of wax bloom (Glaucousness) in discrimination against stable
isotope 13C () and yield were studied for 2
years on a pair of near-isogenic lines of two-rowed barley
(Hordeum vulgare L.) differing in their degree of
glaucousness of the spike and the upper vegetative parts of the plant other
than leaf blades. The effects of glaucousness on canopy reflectance and
cuticular conductance were also assessed. Plants were grown under fully
irrigated and rainfed Mediterranean conditions for 2 years. Grain yield for
both years and total straw biomass measured in the second year were higher
in glaucous than non-glaucous lines under both irrigated and rainfed
conditions. followed the same pattern in both grain and straw
with the highest values in the glaucous line under irrigation and the
lowest in the non-glaucous line under rainfed conditions. Differences in
yield and between the lines were greater under irrigated than
rainfed conditions. The higher of the glaucous line suggests that
these plants had lower transpiration efficiency (net photosynthesis to
transpiration ratio) than the non-glaucous line in the long term. Canopy
reflectance at some of the wavelengths of the PAR
region (400-700 nm) was significantly higher in the glaucous than in the
non-glaucous line under both irrigated and rainfed conditions. Rainfed
conditions also increased canopy reflectance in the
PAR region. No significant effect of either
glaucousness or water regime was observed in cuticular conductance or
amount of cuticular waxes of the flag leaf blades or the
ear. 相似文献

In a companion paper several methods of calculating the marginal unit water
cost of plant carbon gain (E/A) were tested to determine
whether stomata were behaving optimally in relation to regulating leaf gas
exchange. In this paper one method is applied to several tropical tree
species when leaf-to-air vapour pressure difference (D), photosynthetic
photon flux density, leaf temperature, and atmospheric soil water
availability were manipulated. The response of leaves that had expanded
during the dry season were also compared to that of leaves that had
expanded in the wet season. Few differences in absolute value of
E/A, or the form of the relationship, were observed
between species or between seasons. In the majority of species,
E/A increased significantly as either leaf-to-air vapour
pressure difference increased, at a leaf temperature of either 33C or 38C, or as in
photosynthetic photon flux density increased. In contrast, as leaf
temperature increased at constant D, E/A was generally
constant. As pre-dawn water potential declined, E/A
declined. The relationship between E/A and D did not
differ whether internal or ambient carbon dioxide concentration were kept
constant. It is concluded that stomata are only behaving optimally over a
very small range of D. If a larger range of D is used, to incorporate
values that more closely reflect those experienced by tropical trees in a
savanna environment optimization is incomplete.Key
words: Stomatal optimization theory, marginal unit water cost.

Photorespiratory glycine enhances glutathione accumulation in both the chloroplastic and cytosolic compartments 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Transformed poplars overexpressing -glutamylcysteine synthetase (-ECS) in the chloroplast (Lggs) were used to
investigate chloroplastic biosynthesis of glutathione (GSH). In Lggs
leaves, GSH contents were enhanced by up to 3.7 fold. In general, the
highest GSH contents were observed in lines with highest
-glutamylcysteine (-EC) contents. These lines had
relatively low glycine. In darkness, foliar GSH decreased and -EC
increased. Illumination of pre-darkened Lggs in air resulted in a 5-fold
decrease in the -EC : GSH ratio. This light-induced decrease was
largely abolished if leaves were illuminated at high CO2. Consequently, the
-EC : GSH ratio of illuminated leaves was much higher at high CO2
than in air. At high CO2 total foliar amino acids were
higher, but glycine and serine were lower, than in air. These results
suggest that photorespiratory glycine is used in chloroplastic GSH
synthesis. Despite this net CO2 fixation was similar in Lggs to
untransformed poplars. Pre-illuminated leaf discs from Lggs, and poplars
overexpression -ECS in the cytosol (ggs), were incubated in
darkness with a range of metabolites. After 15 h, discs for both types of
transformant incubated on water had accumulated high levels of -EC
and showed marked increases in the -EC : GSH ratio. Feeding
glycine, serine, glycollate or phosphoserine, attenuated the dark-induced
changes in the -EC : GSH ratio, whereas 3-phosphoglycerate (PGA),
phosphoenolpyruvate, glycerate, and hydroxypyruvate did not. Glycine
produced from glycollate was therefore required for maximal GSH
accumulation in both the chloroplastic and cytosolic compartment.
Production of glycine from PGA failed to meet the demand of increased GSH
synthetic capacity. 相似文献

Changes in components of leaf water potential during soil waterdeficits influence many physiological processes. Research resultsfocusing on these changes during desiccation of peanut (Arachishypogeae L.) leaves are apparently not available. The presentstudy was conducted to examine the relationships of leaf waterl, solute s and turgor p potentials, and percent relative watercontent (RWC) of peanut leaves during desiccation of detachedleaves and also during naturally occurring soil moisture deficitsin the field. The relationship of p to l and RWC was evaluated by calculatingp from differences in l and s determined by thermocouple psychrometryand by constructing pressure-volume (P-V) curves from the land RWC measurements. Turgor potentials of Early Bunchand Florunner leaves decreased to zero at l of1.2 to 1.3 MPa and RWC of 87%. There were no cultivardifferences in the l at which p became zero. P-V curves indicatedthat the error of measuring s after freezing due to dilutionof the cellular constituents was small but resulted in artefactualnegative p values. Random measurements on two dates of l, s, and calculation ofp from well-watered and water-stressed field plots consistingof several genotypes indicated that zero p occurred at l of1.6 MPa. It was concluded that the relationships of p,l, s, and RWC of peanut leaves were similar to leaves of othercrops and that these relationships conferred no unique droughtresistance mechanism to peanut. 相似文献

A karyopherin (LeKAP1) cDNA was isolated from tomato
plants. The deduced LeKAP1 protein sequence of 527 amino acids
showed similarity to other plant karyopherin proteins. When
LeKAP1 was expressed in a yeast two-hybrid
system together with the gene coding for the capsid protein (CP) of the
tomato yellow curl leaf virus (TYLCV), it interacted directly with CP.
Thus, LeKAP1 may be involved in the nuclear import of TYLCV CP
and, potentially, the TYLCV genomes during viral infection of the host
tomato cells. 相似文献

An equation is derived expressing average turgor pressure ofa leaf (p) as a function of relative water content (RWC). Basedon this derivation, the relationships of the bulk elastic modulus(v) and both RWC and p, are formulated and discussed. The bulkelastic modulus (v) becomes zero for p = 0, that is at the turgorloss point for the leaf. At full water saturation the valueof ev is proportional to the water saturation turgor potentialp(max). The factor relating P and v (structure coefficient ,Burstrom, Uhrstr?m and Olausson, 1970) changes only very littlefor values of p, which are not too close to zero. An exampleis given for the calculation from experimental data of the turgorpressure function, the structure coefficient function, and thev function.

Mastoparan analogues stimulate phospholipase C- and phospholipase D-activity in Chlamydomonas: a comparative study 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The G-protein activator mastoparan and its analogues are becoming popular
tools for studying signalling in plants. Therefore the abilities of
mastoparan, mas7, mas8, and mas17 to activate phospholipase C (PLC), PLD
and to induce the deflagellation response in Chlamydomonas
moewusii Gerloff were compared. The aim was to test whether
their relative potencies in a plant system resemble those reported for
bovine brain Go and Gi, as is generally assumed, and to determine at which
concentrations cells become permeabilized, a known effect of higher
concentrations. The concentrations at which 50% deflagellation was induced,
were 2.0 M mastoparan, 3.0 M mas8, 3.6 M mas7, and 5.8 M
mas17. Similar activities were found for the production of phosphatidic
acid, which is the result of the combined activities of PLD and PLC
(together with diacylglycerol kinase). PLD activity alone was measured
in vivo by its ability to phosphatidylate
n-butanol. Surprisingly, the concentrations that
stimulated maximum activity were about 10-fold lower (1
M) than those that stimulated maximum PLC activity (10
M). Mas17 was an exception with both maxima above 10 M.
All the compounds except mas17 permeabilized C.
moewusii cells. The concentrations at which 50% of the cells
were permeabilized to Evan's blue were 7.4 M mas8, 16.0 M
mas7 and 22.4 M mastoparan. In conclusion, only mastoparan itself
and the least active analogue mas17 induced maximum deflagellation, PLC and
PLD activities without permeabilizing the cells.Keywords:

Developmental Responses to Drought and Abscisic Acid in Sunflower Roots: I. ROOT GROWTH, APICAL ANATOMY, OSMOTIC ADJUSTMENT 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
ROBERTSON J. MASON; HUBICK KERRY T; YEUNG EDWARD C.; REID DAVID M 《Journal of experimental botany》1990,41(3):325-327
Aeroponically grown sunflower seedlings (Helianthus annuus L.cv. Russian Giant) were droughted or treated with abscisic acid(ABA) for 7 d. Drought stress prompted a three-phase growthresponse in sunflower roots: an initial phase of increased rootelongation was followed by a period of almost complete inhibitionbetween about 6 h and 72 h; this was followed, in turn, by aphase of partial recovery in the rate of root elongation. Droughtdecreased the size of the apical meristem as cells in the proximalregion of the meristem vacuolated and elongated. Root-to-shootbiomass ratios (R:S) increased initially but declined after72 h. Drought stress decreased water potential () and osmoticpotential ( and increased turgor pressure p in the apical 30mm of the roots. These initial changes were transitory, lastingabout 3 h. Thereafter, and began to rise; p fell back to controllevels. In the later stages of treatment, fell as the stressgrew more severe, but fp was maintained by osmotic adjustment.Desiccation for 1 h increased turgor pressures in excised 30mm apical segments. The transitory increase in root elongationwas contemporary with the initial rise in p in the root apices,while the periods of greatest inhibition and partial recoveryin root elongation were contemporary with the periods of declineand partial recovery in the length of the apical meristem respectively.The inhibition of root elongation and the anatomical changesin the root apices were not determined by loss of turgor orlack of photosynthate, but rather appeared to be an active responseby the meristem to a drop in external . Treatment with ABA triggeredmany of the same changes as drought stress: ABA promoted a three-phasegrowth response, increased R:S, triggered the same initial changesin , , and p, increased p in excised 3.0 mm apical segments,and induced the same pattern of anatomical changes in the rootapices as drought stress. It is proposed that ABA mediates drought-inducedchanges in the primary development of sunflower roots. Key words: Abscisic acid, apical meristem, drought, osmotic adjustmen 相似文献

Bromus tectorum L. (cheatgrass) is an invasive winter
annual whose seeds lose dormancy through dry after-ripening. In this paper
a thermal after-ripening time model for simulating seed dormancy loss of
B. tectorum in the field is presented. The model
employs the hydrothermal time parameter mean base water potential
(b(50)) as an index of dormancy status. Other parameters of the
hydrothermal time equation (the hydrothermal time constant HT,
the standard deviation of base water potentials b, and
the base temperature Tb) are held constant, while
b(50) is allowed to vary and accounts for changes in germination
time-course curves due to stage of after-ripening or incubation
temperature. To obtain hydrothermal time parameters for each of four
collections, seeds were stored dry at 20C
for different intervals, then incubated in water (O MPA) or polyethylene
glycol (PEG) solutions (-0.5, -1.0, -1.5 MPa) at 15 and 25C. Germination data for the thermal after-ripening
time model were obtained from seeds stored dry in the laboratory at 10, 15,
20, 30, 40, and 50°C for 0 to 42 weeks, then incubated at two
alternating temperatures in water. Change in b(50) was
characterized for each collection and incubation temperature as a linear
function of thermal time in storage. Measurements of seed zone temperature
at a field site were combined with equations describing changes in
b(50) during after-ripening to make predictions of seed dormancy
loss in the field. Model predictions were compared with values derived from
incubation of seeds retrieved weekly from the field site. Predictions of
changes in b(50) were generally close to observed values,
suggesting the model is useful for simulating seed dormancy loss during
after-ripening in the field. 相似文献

Chlorophyll fluorescence as a selection tool for cold tolerance of photosynthesis in maize (Zea mays L.) 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Fracheboud Y; Haldimann P; Leipner J; Stamp P 《Journal of experimental botany》1999,50(338):1533-1540
The possibility of using quenching analysis of chlorophyll
a fluorescence as a selection tool for improving the
cold tolerance of maize was investigated in six genotypes differing greatly
in the ability to develop a competent photosynthetic apparatus at low
temperature. Upon gradual cooling measurements of the quantum yield of
electron transport (PSII) indicated that leaves of tolerant
genotypes, that developed at suboptimal temperature (15C), maintained higher rates of electron transport
than leaves of sensitive genotypes. This difference was largely due to the
ability of the tolerant plants to keep higher efficiency of excitation
energy capture by open photosystem II reaction centres (F'v/F'm). The
absence of genotypic differences in leaves that developed at optimal
temperature indicates that the trait is not expressed constitutively, but
relies on adaptation mechanisms. Furthermore, the genotypic difference was
not expressed under increasing illumination at 15C and 25°C suggesting that the trait is also
low-temperature-specific and is not expressed solely in response to
increasing excess light energy. Applying the method to flint and dent
breeding population led to a substantial increase (up to 31%) in the
photosynthetic capacity of hybrids between selected F3 inbreeding families
grown at suboptimal temperature, demonstrating that the method is an
efficient selection tool for improving the cold tolerance of maize through
breeding. 相似文献

Phytosulphokine-{alpha}, a peptidyl plant growth factor, stimulates somatic embryogenesis in carrot 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Phytosulphokine- (PSK-) is the first chemically characterized peptide
that acts as a plant growth factor. It stimulates the proliferation of
asparagus and rice cells, but no information is yet available on its
effects on plant morphogenesis. The effects of PSK- on somatic
embryogenesis in carrot (Daucus carota L.) were
examined. PSK-, when added to the induction medium for somatic
embryogenesis, increased the number of somatic embryos. The chemical
analogues [2-5]PSK- and tyrosine sulphate ester (Tyr-SO3 H), which
have been used as negative controls in other systems, had no effect.
Moreover the proliferation of cells during somatic embryogenesis was also
enhanced by PSK- these results indicate that PSK-
enhanced cell division and, as a consequence, stimulated carrot somatic
embryogenesis. PSK- also stimulated the proliferation of
embryogenic cells in medium that contained 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid
(2,4-D), in which somatic embryos did not form, as well as the
proliferation of non-embryogenic cells (cells that had lost the ability to
form somatic embryos) in medium without 2,4-D. These results indicate that
PSK- has a stimulatory effect on cell division generally in carrot
cell cultures.Key words: Daucus carota, plant growth
factor, somatic embryogenesis, sulphated peptide.

The Meaning of Matric Potential 总被引:6,自引:1,他引:5
The commonly used equation, = P - + , which describes thepartitioning of plant water potential, , into components ofhydrostatic pressure, P, osmotic pressure, , and matric potential,, is misleading. The term , which is supposed to show the influenceof a solid phase on , is zero if a consistent definition ofpressure is used in the standard thermodynamic derivation. However,it can be usefully defined by = + D, where D is the osmoticpressure of the equilibrium dialysate of the system. The practicaland theoretical significance of this definition is discussed. 相似文献

The role of solute accumulation, osmotic adjustment and changes in cell wall elasticity in drought tolerance in Ziziphus mauritiana (Lamk.) 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk.) is a major fruit tree
crop of the north-west Indian arid zone. In a study of the physiological
basis of drought tolerance in this species, two glasshouse experiments were
conducted in which trees were droughted during single stress-cycles. In the
first experiment, during a 13 d drying cycle, pre-dawn leaf water
(leaf) and osmotic () potentials in droughted
trees declined from -0.5 and -1.4 MPa to -1.7 and -2.2 MPa, respectively,
for a decrease in relative water content () of 14%. During
drought stress, changes in sugar metabolism were associated with
significant increases in concentrations of hexose sugars (3.8-fold),
cyclitol (scyllo-inositol; 1.5-fold), and proline (35-fold; expressed per
unit dry weight), suggesting that altered solute partitioning may be an
important factor in drought tolerance of Ziziphus. On
rewatering pre-dawn leaf and recovered fully, but
remained depressed by 0.4 MPa relative to control
values, indicating that solute concentration per unit water content had
changed during the drought cycle.Evidence for osmotic adjustment was
provided from a second study during which a gradual drought was imposed.
Pressure-volume analysis revealed a 0.7 MPa reduction in osmotic potential
at full turgor, with leaf at turgor loss depressed by 1 MPa in
drought-stressed leaves. Coupled with osmotic adjustment, during gradual
drought, was a 65% increase in bulk tissue elastic modulus (wall rigidity)
which resulted in turgor loss at the same in both stressed and
unstressed leaves. The possible ecological significance of maintenance of
turgor potential and cell volume at low water potentials for drought
tolerance in Ziziphus is discussed.Keywords:

The effect of rhizosphere dissolved inorganic carbon on gas exchange characteristics and growth rates of tomato seedlings 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The possibility that an enhanced supply of dissolved inorganic carbon
(DIC=CO2+HCO3-) to the root solution could increase
the growth of Lycopersicon esculentum (L.) Mill. cv.
F144 was investigated under both saline and non-saline root medium
conditions. Tomato seedlings were grown in hydroponic culture with and
without NaCl and the root solution was aerated with CO2 concentrations in
the range between 0 and 5000 mol
mol-1. The biomass of both control and
salinity-stressed plants grown at high temperatures (daily maximum of
37C) and an irradiance of 1500 mol m-2
s-1 was increased by up to 200% by enriched
rhizosphere DIC. The growth rates of plants grown with irradiances of less
than 100 mol m-2 s-1
were increased by elevated rhizosphere DIC concentrations only when grown
at high shoot temperatures (35C) or with
salinity 28°C). At high light intensities, the photosynthetic rate,
the CO2 and light-saturated photosynthetic rate (jmax)
and the stomatal conductance of plants grown at high light intensity were
lower in plants supplied with enriched compared to ambient DIC. This was
interpreted as 'down-regulation' of the photosynthetic system in plants
supplied with elevated DIC. Labelled organic carbon in the xylem sap
derived from root DI14C incorporation was found to
be sufficient to deliver carbon to the shoot at rates equivalent to 1% and
10% of the photosynthetic rate of the plants supplied with ambient- and
enriched-DIC, respectively. It was concluded that organic carbon derived
from DIC incorporation and translocated in the xylem from the root to the
shoot may provide a source of carbon for the shoots, especially under
conditions where low stomatal conductance may be advantageous, such as
salinity stress, high shoot temperatures and high light
intensities. 相似文献

Effects of water stress on photosystem II photochemistry and its thermostability in wheat plants 总被引:19,自引:1,他引:18
Modulated chlorophyll fluorescence, rapid fluorescence induction kinetics
and the polyphasic fluorescence transients (OJIP) were used to evaluate
PSII photochemistry in wheat plants exposed to water stress and/or heat
stress (25-45C). Water stress showed no
effects on the maximal quantum yield of PSII photochemistry
(Fv/Fm), the rapid fluorescence
induction kinetics, and the polyphasic fluorescence transients in
dark-adapted leaves, indicating that water stress had no effects on the
primary photochemistry of PSII. However, in light-adapted leaves, water
stress reduced the efficiency of excitation energycapture by open PSII
reaction centres (F'v/F'm) and
the quantum yield of PSII electron transport (PSII), increased
the non-photochemical quenching (qN) and showed no effects on the
photochemical quenching (qP). This suggests that water stress modified the
PSII photochemistry in the light-adapted leaves and such modifications may
be a mechanism to down-regulate the photosynthetic electron transport to
match a decreased CO2 assimilation. In addition, water stress also modified
the responses of PSII to heat stress. When temperature was above 35C, thermostability of PSII was strongly enhanced in
water-stressed leaves, which was reflected in a less decrease in
Fv/Fm, qP,
F'v/F'm, and PSII in
water-stressed leaves than in well-watered leaves. There were no
significant variations in the above fluorescence parameters between
moderately and severely water-stressed plants, indicating that the moderate
water-stressed plants, indicating that the moderate water stress treatment
caused the same effects on thermostability of PSII as the severe treatment.
It was found that increased thermostability of PSII may be associated with
an improvement of resistance of the O2-evolving complex and the reaction
centres in water-stressed plants to high temperature.Key

Thomas, H. 1987. Physiological responses to drought of Loliumperenne L.: Measurement of, and genetic variation in, waterpotential, solute potential, elasticity and cell hydration.J.exp. Bot. 38: 115125. Clonally-replicated genotypes of Loiium perenne L. were grownin a controlled environment. Leaf water potential (w) osmoticpotential (s), turgor potential (p = w s), elasticity(E), leaf hydration (g water per g dry matter, H) and numberof green leaves per tiller (NGL) were measured before and duringa 42 d drought treatment. A simplified method of estimating E (at w < 1?0 MPa) usingonly six measurements was developed to permit a measurementrate of 8 leaves per hour. Measurement errors in all characterswere 3% or less. During drought, w and s (at w = 0?5 MPa) decreased significantly,p and E increased significantly, and H decreased slightly. Plantsize during drought was negatively correlated with s, and Hand positively correlated with p, osmotic adjustment, E andNGL. Measurements made on the genotypes before draughting didnot give a reliable indication of their physiological conditionafter adaptation to drought. Genetically controlled variation (broad sense heritability)of drought-adapted plants for E was 15%, w 23%, s, 34%, p, 35%,H 34% and NGL 64%. The possibilities for, and effectivenessof, divergent selection of genotypes with high and low expressionof the characters are discussed. Key words: Water relations, Lolium, genetic variation 相似文献
