The evolution of resistance to parasites is fundamentally important to disease ecology, yet we remain unable to predict when and how resistance will evolve. This is largely due to the context‐dependent nature of host‐parasite interactions, as the benefit of resistance will depend on the abiotic and biotic environment. Through experimental evolution of the plant pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae and two lytic bacteriophages across two different environments (high‐nutrient media and the tomato leaf apoplast), we demonstrate that de novo evolution of resistance is negligible in planta despite high levels of resistance evolution in vitro. We find no evidence supporting the evolution of phage‐selected resistance in planta despite multiple passaging experiments, multiple assays for resistance, and high multiplicities of infection. Additionally, we find that phage‐resistant mutants (evolved in vitro) did not realize a fitness benefit over phage‐sensitive cells when grown in planta in the presence of phage, despite reduced growth of sensitive cells, evidence of phage replication in planta, and a large fitness benefit in the presence of phage observed in vitro. Thus, this context‐dependent benefit of phage resistance led to different evolutionary outcomes across environments. These results underscore the importance of studying the evolution of parasite resistance in ecologically relevant environments. 相似文献

The behaviour of Tomato cultures from known resistant and susceptible cultivars and lines was examined for callus growth on culture media containing increasing concentrations of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici race 1 culture filtrate and phytoalexin synthesis elicited by Fusarium cell wall components. A strict correlation was found between in vivo resistance to the fungus and in vitro hypersensitive response and phytoalexin induction. On the other hand in vitro tolerance to toxic filtrate does not seem in this case a good indicator of in vivo resistance to the pathogen. 相似文献

Aims: Several bacteriocins (BCNs) that were identified from chicken commensal bacteria dramatically reduced Campylobacter colonization in poultry and are being directed toward on‐farm control of this important foodborne human pathogen. A recent study has shown that BCN resistance in Campylobacter jejuni is very difficult to develop in vitro. In this study, in vivo development and stability of BCN resistance in Campylobacter was examined. Methods and Results: Chickens infected with Camp. jejuni NCTC 11168 were treated with BCN E‐760 at the dose of 5 mg kg?1 body weight day?1 via oral gavages for three consecutive days, which selected BCN‐resistant (BCNr) mutants in the treated birds. However, all the in vivo‐selected mutants only displayed low levels of resistance to BCN (MIC = 2–8 mg l?1) when compared to parent strain (MIC = 0·5 mg l?1). Inactivation of CmeABC efflux pump of the BCNr mutants led to increased susceptibility to BCN (8–32 fold MIC reduction). Three different BCNrCampylobacter strains (in vitro‐ or in vivo‐derived) were examined for the stability of BCN resistance using both in vitro and in vivo systems. The low level of BCN resistance in these strains was not stable in vitro or in vivo in the absence of BCN selection pressure. Conclusions: Usage of BCN E‐760 only selected low‐level BCNrCamp. jejuni mutants in vivo, and the low‐level BCN resistance was not stable in vitro and in vivo. Significance and Impact of the Study: The study provides helpful information for risk assessment of the future practical application of the anti‐Campylobacter BCNs in animals. 相似文献

Shoot organogenesis is one of the in vitro plant regeneration pathways. It has been widely employed in plant biotechnology for in vitro micropropagation and genetic transformation, as well as in study of plant development. Morphological and physiological aspects of in vitro shoot organogenesis have already been extensively studied in plant tissue culture for more than 50 years. Within the last ten years, given the research progress in plant genetics and molecular biology, our understanding of in vivo plant shoot meristem development, plant cell cycle, and cytokinin signal transduction has advanced significantly. These research advances have provided useful molecular tools and resources for the recent studies on the genetic and molecular aspects of in vitro shoot organogenesis. A few key molecular markers, genes, and probable pathways have been identified from these studies that are shown to be critically involved in in vitro shoot organogenesis. Furthermore, these studies have also indicated that in vitro shoot organogenesis, just as in in vivo shoot development, is a complex, well-coordinated developmental process, and induction of a single molecular event may not be sufficient to induce the occurrence of the entire process. Further study is needed to identify the early molecular event(s) that triggers dedifferentiation of somatic cells and serves as the developmental switch for de novo shoot development. 相似文献

Simultaneously with the progress in plant biotechnology since the 1980s, new methods in plant pathology have been developed. This review summarizes papers that cover basic research on the effects of selective agents on in vitro cultures of host plants, as well as applications of agents in regeneration systems that result in lines with increased variability in resistance or susceptibility. The first part of the study deals with theoretical aspects of the interactions between plants and toxin‐producing pathogens, mode of phytotoxic action, and host‐ and non‐host‐selective toxins. The second part lists and describes various agents used for selections in vitro. In the last two decades more than 100 publications focused on these selections for the improvement of resistance to plant pathogens. Over 30 plant species were examined to utilise various selection agents extracted from about 40 plant pathogens. The review covers basic research studies and methods that elucidate the relationships between in vitro and in vivo mechanisms of resistance, but also try to develop practical applications to obtain resistant breeding lines. Such methods often utilise some type of explant cultures of the host plants that are treated with various selective agents (culture filtrates, toxins, elicitors), which then elicit typical reactions that parallel those by the pathogens. Their application successfully resulted in resistant lines in banana, carnation, grapevine, strawberry and wheat. Nowadays, these techniques are an important complement to classical breeding methods. 相似文献

- Crinum malabaricum Lekhak & Yadav is a recently discovered and critically endangered aquatic bulbous plant of the family Amaryllidaceae. It gained attention as a wild source of the acetylcholinesterase inhibiting alkaloid ‘galanthamine’ used to treat Alzheimer and Parkinson diseases. The bulbs of this plant contain the highest amount of galanthamine among Crinum species.
- In vitro regeneration systems were developed to produce quality uniform plantlets of C. malabaricum. Bright field light microscopy was used to analyse micro-morpho-anatomical developments taking place in the leaves and roots during in vitro, ex vitro and in vivo transitions of plantlets.
- Leaves and roots of plants raised in vitro possessed a higher degree of microscopic structural anomalies, such as underdeveloped epicuticular wax deposition, immature and non-functional stomata, more aquiferous parenchyma with a reduced lumen. Roots developed in vitro were characterized by extremely large, uneven cortical cells and reduced intercellular spaces. The vascular tissues were under-developed and only primary vascular tissues were observed. As a result of ex vitro acclimation, there was a significant acceleration in the improvement of tissue systems in leaves and roots. Such plantlets can tolerate elevated temperatures and light under in vivo conditions.
- Thus, the microscopic evaluation of the structural trajectory in different stages of plantlet development provides an understanding of the acclimation process and structural adaptations, which could help enhance survival of in vitro raised plantlets under ex vitro and in vivo conditions.

The accumulation of steviol glycosides (SGs) in cells of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni both in vivo and in vitro was related to the extent of the development of the membrane system of chloroplasts and the content of photosynthetic pigments.
Chloroplasts of the in vitro plants, unlike those of the intact plants, had poorly developed membrane system. The callus cells grown in the light contained
proplastids of almost round shape and their thylakoid system was represented by short thylakoids sometimes forming a little
number of grana consisting of 2–3 thylakoids. In cells of the etiolated in vitro regenerants and the callus culture grown in the dark, only proplastids practically lacking the membrane system were observed.
All the chloroplasts having developed thylakoids and forming at least a little number of grana were equipped with photochemically
active reaction centers of photosystems 1 and 2. Leaves of in vivo plants accumulated greater amount of the pigments than leaves of the in vitro plants. In both the callus culture grown in the light and the etiolated in vitro regenerants, the content of the pigments was one order of magnitude lower than that in leaves of the intact plants. The callus
tissue grown in the dark contained merely trace amounts of the pigments. Leaves of the intact and the in vitro plants did not exhibit any significant differences in photosynthetic O2 evolution rate. However, photosynthetic O2 evolution rate in the callus cells was much lower than that in the differentiated plant cells. The in vitro cell cultures containing merely proplastids did not practically produce SGs. However, after transferring these cultures in
the light, both the formation of chloroplasts and the production of SGs in them were detected. 相似文献

Thionins: properties,possible biological roles and mechanisms of action 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
Thionins are low-molecular-weight proteins (M
r ca. 5000) occurring in seeds, stems, roots and leaves of a number of plant species. The different members of this family of plant proteins show both sequence and structural homology, and are toxic to bacteria, fungi, yeasts and various naked cells in vitro. Toxicity requires an electrostatic interaction of the positively charged thionin with the negatively charged phospholipids making up the membrane, followed by either pore formation or a specific interaction with a certain lipid domain. This domain might be composed of phosphoinositides, which mediate transduction of environmental signals in eukaryotes. Their in vitro toxicity to plant pathogenic bacteria and fungi could reflect a direct role in plant defence, although, in view of the many divergent activities displayed by thionins both in vitro and in vivo, a biological role other than inhibition of microbial growth is equally plausible. 相似文献

A comparison of in vitro with in vivo flowering in Gentian 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Young nodal explants of Gentiana triflora Pall. var. axillariflora were cultured in a woody plant medium (WPM) supplemented with B5 vitamins, sucrose (3%) and kinetin (2.0 μM). A novel observation
was made in that in vitro flowering occurred following development of the axillary bud of the cultures. A comparison was made between in vitro and in vivo flowers. Although smaller in size, the in vitro flowers were morphologically comparable to the in vivo ones. Flowers from both sources were semi-opened or not opened. The colour of the in vitro flowers was paler than those in vivo. Stigma development was generally poor in both in vitro and in vivo flowers. Pollen viability was over 90% in both types of flowers. About 11% and 34% of pollen from in vitro and in vivo flowers, respectively, germinated on WPM containing 100 g l−1 sucrose solidified with 10 g l−1 agar. Hand pollination of stigma could raise viable seed production in in vivo-flowering plants from 0.3 o/o (i.e. without aided pollination) to 3% but none in in vitro-flowering plants where only seed-like structures, probably unfertilised ovules, were found.

Artemisinins are plant products with a wide range of medicinal applications. Most prominently, artesunate is a well tolerated and effective drug for treating malaria, but is also active against several protozoal and schistosomal infections, and additionally exhibits anti‐angiogenic, anti‐tumorigenic and anti‐viral properties. The array of activities of the artemisinins, and the recent emergence of malaria resistance to artesunate, prompted us to synthesize and evaluate several novel artemisinin‐like derivatives. Sixteen distinct derivatives were therefore synthesized and the in vitro cytotoxic effects of each were tested with different cell lines. The in vivo anti‐angiogenic properties were evaluated using a zebrafish embryo model. We herein report the identification of several novel artemisinin‐like compounds that are easily synthesized, stable at room temperature, may overcome drug‐resistance pathways and are more active in vitro and in vivo than the commonly used artesunate. These promising findings raise the hopes of identifying safer and more effective strategies to treat a range of infections and cancer. 相似文献

Study of mechanisms for plant growth promotion elicited by rhizobacteria in Arabidopsis thaliana 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) colonize plant roots and exert beneficial effects on plant health and development. We are investigating the mechanisms by which PGPR elicit plant growth promotion from the viewpoint of signal transduction pathways within plants. We report here our first study to determine if well-characterized PGPR strains, which previously demonstrated growth promotion of various other plants, also enhance plant growth in Arabidopsis thaliana. Eight different PGPR strains, including Bacillus subtilis GB03, B. amyloliquefaciens IN937a, B. pumilus SE-34, B. pumilus T4, B. pasteurii C9, Paenibacillus polymyxa E681, Pseudomonas fluorescens 89B-61, and Serratia marcescens 90-166, were evaluated for elicitation of growth promotion of wild-type and mutant Arabidopsis in vitro and in vivo. In vitro testing on MS medium indicated that all eight PGPR strains increased foliar fresh weight of Arabidopsis at distances of 2, 4, and 6 cm from the site of bacterial inoculation. Among the eight strains, IN937a and GB03 inhibited growth of Arabidopsis plants when the bacteria were inoculated 2 cm from the plants, while they significantly increased plant growth when inoculated 6 cm from the plants, suggesting that a bacterial metabolite that diffused into the agar accounted for growth promotion with this strain. In vivo, eight PGPR strains promoted foliar fresh weight under greenhouse conditions 4 weeks after sowing. To define signal transduction pathways associated with growth promotion elicited by PGPR, various plant-hormone mutants of Arabidopsis were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Elicitation of growth promotion by PGPR strains in vitro involved signaling of brassinosteroid, IAA, salicylic acid, and gibberellins. In vivo testing indicated that ethylene signaling was involved in growth promotion. Results suggest that elicitation of growth promotion by PGPR in Arabidopsis is associated with several different signal transduction pathways and that such signaling may be different for plants grown in vitro vs. in vivo. 相似文献

Characterization of Pectobacterium carotovorum proteins differentially expressed during infection of Zantedeschia elliotiana in vivo and in vitro which are essential for virulence 下载免费PDF全文
The identification of phytopathogen proteins that are differentially expressed during the course of the establishment of an infection is important to better understand the infection process. In vitro approaches, using plant extracts added to culture medium, have been used to identify such proteins, but the biological relevance of these findings for in planta infection are often uncertain until confirmed by in vivo studies. Here, we compared the proteins of Pectobacterium carotovorum ssp. carotovorum strain PccS1 differentially expressed in Luria–Bertani medium supplemented with extracts of the ornamental plant Zantedeschia elliotiana cultivar ‘Black Magic’ (in vitro) and in plant tissues (in vivo) by two‐dimensional electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry. A total of 53 differentially expressed proteins (>1.5‐fold) were identified (up‐regulated or down‐regulated in vitro, in vivo or both). Proteins that exhibited increased expression in vivo but not in vitro, or in both conditions, were identified, and deletions were made in a number of genes encoding these proteins, four of which (clpP, mreB, flgK and eda) led to a loss of virulence on Z. elliotiana, although clpP and mreB were later also shown to be reduced in growth in rich and minimal media. Although clpP, flgK and mreB have previously been reported as playing a role in virulence in plants, this is the first report of such a role for eda, which encodes 2‐keto‐3‐deoxy‐6‐phosphogluconate (KDPG) aldolase, a key enzyme in Entner–Doudoroff metabolism. The results highlight the value of undertaking in vivo as well as in vitro approaches for the identification of new bacterial virulence factors. 相似文献

Abstract Five isolates of Ralstonia solanacearum were isolated from a naturally wilted root of tomato plants grown in Assiut governorate. The antibacterial activity of extract of Datura, Garlic and Nerium were tested in controlling R. solanacearum in vitro and in vivo. Garlic exhibited the strongest antibacterial activity against bacterial wilt in vitro and in vivo followed by Datura and then Nerium. Cold water extracts of these plant species were more effective than hot water extract in the development of the disease in vivo. In greenhouse experiments, the application of the tested plant extract to soil at the time of inoculation, two days before inoculation and two days after inoculation the pathogen, significantly reduced the disease index of wilt on Super Marmande tomato cultivars. The application of plant extracts at the same time as inoculation resulted in the highest reduction of disease index. 相似文献

Mutations in the fmt gene (encoding formyl methionine transferase) that eliminate formylation of initiator tRNA (Met‐tRNAi) confer resistance to the novel antibiotic class of peptide deformylase inhibitors (PDFIs) while concomitantly reducing bacterial fitness. Here we show in Salmonella typhimurium that novel mutations in initiation factor 2 (IF2) located outside the initiator tRNA binding domain can partly restore fitness of fmt mutants without loss of antibiotic resistance. Analysis of initiation of protein synthesis in vitro showed that with non‐formylated Met‐tRNAi IF2 mutants initiated much faster than wild‐type IF2, whereas with formylated fMet‐tRNAi the initiation rates were similar. Moreover, the increase in initiation rates with Met‐tRNAi conferred by IF2 mutations in vitro correlated well with the increase in growth rate conferred by the same mutations in vivo, suggesting that the mutations in IF2 compensate formylation deficiency by increasing the rate of in vivo initiation with Met‐tRNAi. IF2 mutants had also a high propensity for erroneous initiation with elongator tRNAs in vitro, which could account for their reduced fitness in vivo in a formylation‐proficient strain. More generally, our results suggest that bacterial protein synthesis is mRNA‐limited and that compensatory mutations in IF2 could increase the persistence of PDFI‐resistant bacteria in clinical settings. 相似文献

Fate and action of ricin in rat liver in vivo: translocation of endocytosed ricin into cytosol and induction of intrinsic apoptosis by ricin B‐chain 下载免费PDF全文

Cytotoxicity of many plant and bacterial toxins requires their endocytosis and retrograde transport from endosomes to the endoplasmic reticulum. Using cell fractionation and immunoblotting procedures, we have assessed the fate and action of the plant toxin ricin in rat liver in vivo, focusing on endosome‐associated events and induction of apoptosis. Injected ricin rapidly accumulated in endosomes as an intact A/B heterodimer (5–90 min) and was later (15–90 min) partially translocated to cytosol as A‐ and B‐chains. Unlike cholera and diphtheria toxins, which also undergo endocytosis in liver, neither in cell‐free endosomes loaded by ricin in vivo nor upon incubation with endosomal lysates did ricin undergo degradation in vitro. A time‐dependent translocation of ricin across the endosomal membrane occurred in cell‐free endosomes. Endosome‐located thioredoxin reductase‐1 was required for translocation as shown by its physical association with ricin chains and effects of its removal and inhibition. Ricin induced in vivo intrinsic apoptosis as judged by increased cytochrome c content, activation of caspase‐9 and caspase‐3, and enrichment of DNA fragments in cytosol. Furthermore, reduced ricin and ricin B‐chain caused cytochrome c release from mitochondria in vivo and in vitro, suggesting that the interaction of ricin B‐chain with mitochondria is involved in ricin‐induced apoptosis. 相似文献

Aims: Adaptive phenotypes of enteric bacterial pathogens in response to in vivo‐mimicking stress conditions are important because of their potentiality to enhance stress resistance and ameliorate measures intended to control transmission and infectivity. Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) encounters a variety of such environments throughout its infection cycle, including high concentrations of the short‐chain fatty acid, Propionate (PA), during food processing and within the gut of infected hosts. With this study, we aimed to elucidate the significance of PA adaptation on stress resistance in S. Enteritidis. Methods and Results: We have shown (utilizing in vitro stress assays) that S. Enteritidis grown to stationary phase in the presence of PA has a dramatically enhanced resistance to commonly encountered in vivo stressors, including extreme acidity and oxidative/nitrosative stresses when compared to unadapted salmonellae. However, competitive infection between PA adapted and unadapted cells within a murine model showed that adapted cells were at a distinct disadvantage in vivo, resulting in decreased caecal colonization in infected mice. Conclusions: Our results suggest that, while long‐term PA adaptation induces strong resistance to specific stresses in vitro, it also reduces the overall infectivity of the adapted cells by inhibiting the organism’s colonization ability. Significance and Impact of the Study: In S. Enteritidis, PA adaptation is strongly associated with the induction of stress‐resistant phenotypes in vitro. Enhanced stress resistance ex vivo may increase environmental persistence and/or the overall transmissibility of this pathogen, while overall the virulence of the pathogen is likely to be hindered as a result of the decreased colonization ability of PA‐adapted S. Enteritidis. 相似文献

As a large number of multidrug-resistant bacteria have emerged, and there is an urgent need for the development of new antibacterial agents. In this study, we developed a liquid-based slow killing assay to be carried out in standard 96-well microtiter plates. This screening method was designed to facilitate high-throughput screening of small molecules and extracts. In antibiotic rescue assays, the Caenorhabditis elegans multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection model displayed a high degree of drug resistance in vivo and in vitro. We used the method to screen 1,300 extracts, and found 36 extracts (2.7%) which prolonged the survival of infected nematodes, and four (0.3%) of these extracts showed in vitro and in vivo anti-multidrug resistant P. aeruginosa activity. These results indicate that the whole-animal C. elegans multidrug-resistant bacterial model can be used to screen antibacterial compounds, and can also be useful for bioactive compounds which most likely cannot be identified in vitro. 相似文献

Abstract Phosphorothioate antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotides (PS-ASOs) have proven to be useful first generation antisense tools for in vitro and in vivo uses and now show great promise as human therapeutic agents. However, there are two characteristics of PS-ASOs that make it desirable to continue to attempt to improve their biophysical characteristics through chemical modification. First, PS-ASOs have been reported, at very high concentrations, to have some nonspecific activities, both in vitro and in vivo, usually attributed to their protein binding properties. Second, while significantly more stable than their phosphodiester analogues, the in vivo stability of phosphorothioate oligonucleotides can still be improved. This instability is primarily due to 3′ exonucleases, 5′ exonucleases, and to a lesser degree, endonucleases. There is a strong rationale for exploring backbone modifications that can reduce the P=S content and maintain or increase nuclease resistance of antisense oligonucleotides. One such modification, methylene(methyl)imino (MMI), allows for complete substitution of the phosphate backbone while maintaining high affinity for the target RNA and enhanced nuclease resistance.1,2 This modification is incorporated into the oligonucleotide as MMI-dimers. 相似文献

In vivo and in vitro flowering response of chicory (Cichorium intybus L.): influence of plant age and vernalization 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Chicory plants (Cichorium intybus L. var foliosum cv Flash) were tested with and without a 4-week-long cold treatment for in vivo and in vitro flowering potential every 2 weeks during the growing season. One hundred percent of the plants harvested 112 days or later
after sowing and then vernalized flowered in vivo. In vitro, no vernalization was needed to initiate flowering-stems on chicory explants taken from roots of 100 days old and older.
5-Azacytidine, a DNA demethylation agent, increased the flowering percentage on explants from young, vernalized roots but
could not induce more than 15% flowering on young, nonvernalized roots. The greater flowering potential of chicory root explants
in vitro when compared to plants of the same age tested in vivo was clearly established. This result suggests that some negative control on flowering was removed when root explants were
excised and the main plant body discarded.
