The behavior of cell nuclei, mitochondrial nucleoids (mt-nucleoids) and plastid nucleoids (ptnucleoids) was studied in the
root apical meristem of Arabidopsis thaliana. Samples were embedded in Technovit 7100 resin, cut into thin sections and stained with 4′-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole for
light-microscopic autoradiography and microphotometry. Synthesis of cell nuclear DNA and cell division were both active in
the root apical meristem between 0 μm and 300 μm from the central cells. It is estimated that the cells generated in the lower
part of the root apical meristem enter the elongation zone after at least four divisions. Throughout the entire meristematic
zone, individual cells had mitochondria which contained 1–5 mt-nucleoids. The number of mitochondria increased gradually from
65 to 200 in the meristem of the central cylinder. Therefore, throughout the meristem, individual mitochondria divided either
once or twice per mitotic cycle. By contrast, based on the incorporation of [3H]thymidine into organelle nucleoids, syntheses of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and plastid DNA (ptDNA) occurred independently
of the mitotic cycle and mainly in a restricted region (i.e., the lower part of the root apical meristem). Fluorimetry, using
a videointensified microscope photon-counting system, revealed that the amount of mtDNA per mt-nucleoid in the cells in the
lower part of the meristem, where mtDNA synthesis was active, corresponded to more than 1 Mbp. By contrast, in the meristematic
cells just below the elongation zone of the root tip, the amount of mtDNA per mt-nucleoid fell to approximately 170 kbp. These
findings strongly indicate that the amount of mtDNA per mitochondrion, which has been synthesized in the lower part of the
meristem, is gradually reduced as a result of continual mitochondrial divisions during low levels of mtDNA synthesis. This
phenomenon would explain why differentiated cells in the elongation zone have mitochondria that contain only extremely small
amounts of mtDNA.

The behaviour of cell nuclei and organelle nucleoids (organellenuclei) was studied in the root apical meristem of 3-d-old seedlingsof Arabidopsis thaliana (Col.). Samples were embedded in Technovit7100 resin, cut into thin sections and stained with 4'-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole(DAPI) for observation of DNA. DNA synthesis in cell nucleiand organelle nucleoids was investigated using the incorporationof [3H] thymidine or 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU). Incorporated[3H] thymidine and BrdU were detected by microautoradiographyor immunofiuorescence microscopy, respectively. Central cellsand cells just above the central cells of the quiescent centre(QC) showed an extremely low activity of DNA synthesis. However,DNA synthesis occurred in at least one organelle nucleoid ofall cells in the QC within 24 h. This suggests the cells inthe QC are quiescent with regard to nuclear DNA synthesis, butnot with regard to the organelle nucleoids.

Arabidopsis plants responding to phosphorus (P) deficiency increase lateral root formation and reduce primary root elongation. In addition
the number and length of root hairs increases in response to P deficiency. Here we studied the patterns of radical oxygen
species (ROS) in the roots of Arabidopsis seedlings cultured on media supplemented with high or low P concentration. We found that P availability affected ROS distribution
in the apical part of roots. If plants were grown on high P medium, ROS were located in the root elongation zone and quiescent
centre. At low P ROS were absent in the elongation zone, however, their synthesis was detected in the primary root meristem.
The proximal part of roots was characterized by ROS production in the lateral root primordia and in elongation zones of young
lateral roots irrespective of P concentration in the medium. On the other hand, plants grown at high or low P differed in
the pattern of ROS distribution in older lateral roots. At high P, the elongation zone was the primary site of ROS production.
At low P, ROS were not detected in the elongation zone. However, they were present in the proximal part of the lateral root
meristem. These results suggest that P deficiency affects ROS distribution in distal parts of Arabidopsis roots. Under P-sufficiency ROS maximum was observed in the elongation zone, under low P, ROS were not synthesized in this
segment of the root, however, they were detected in the apical root meristem. 相似文献

The synthesis of DNA in nuclei and organellar nucleoids at the various stages of somatic embryogenesis in carrot (Daucus carota L. cv. Kurodagosun) was analyzed using anti-5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) immunofluorescence microscopy. The active syntheses
of both nuclear and organellar DNA started in the cells forming the embryo proper 3 d after the initiation of embryogenesis,
but not in cells forming suspensor-like cell aggregates. In the early globular embryo, active DNA syntheses were continuously
observed in the whole embryo proper, except for the progenitor cells of the root apical meristem (RAM) and shoot apical meristem
(SAM). These were recognized as slowly cycling cells with a non-BrdU-labelled nucleus and strongly BrdU-labelled organellar
nucleoids. At the heart- and torpedo-shaped embryo stages, both nuclear and organellar DNA syntheses were inactive in the
presumptive RAM and SAM. Thus, slowing down of organellar DNA synthesis is not coupled with, but is later than, that of nuclear
DNA synthesis in the progenitor cells of the embryonic RAM and SAM. These findings clearly indicate that the timing of DNA
synthesis is similar in the progenitor cells of both the RAM and SAM in the early stages of somatic embryogenesis.

The behavior of organelle nucleoids and cell nuclei was studied in the shoot apical meristem and developing first foliage leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana. Samples were embedded in Technovit 7100 resin, cut into thin sections and stained with 4-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole to observe DNA. Fluorimetry was performed using a video-intensified microscope photon-counting system. The DNA content of individual mitochondria was more than 1 Mbp in the shoot apical meristem and the young leaf primordium, and decreased to approximately 170 kbp in the mature foliage leaf. In contrast, the DNA content of individual plastids was low in the shoot apical meristem and increased until day 7 after sowing. Application of 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine, an analogue of thymidine, was usesd to investigate DNA synthesis in situ. The activities of DNA synthesis in the mitochondria and plastids changed according to the stage of development. Mitochondrial DNA was actively synthesized in the shoot apical meristem and young leaf primordia. This strongly suggests that the amount of mitochondrial DNA per mitochondrion, which has been synthesized in the shoot apical meristem and young leaf primordium, is gradually reduced due to continual divisions of the mitochondria during low levels of mitochondrial DNA synthesis. Synthesis of DNA in the plastid became active in the leaf primordia following DNA synthesis in the mitochondria, and the small plastids were filled with large plastid nucleotids. This enlargement of the plastid nucleoids occurred before the synthesis of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase and the development of thylakoids.Abbreviations BrdU

A microspectrophotometric analysis of the DNA content of cell populations in the shoot apical meristem of young and adult stages of the filicalean fern Ceratopteris thalictroides was conducted to determine if the previously reported uptake of labeled DNA precursors by the apical cell was a consequence of endomitotic DNA replication or of DNA synthesis preceeding mitosis. Results demonstrate that in both the young and adult plants the estimated DNA content of the apical cell nuclei parallels that of the other cells of the meristem. There was no evidence of an “apical zone” of endopolyploid cells. 相似文献

The arrest of DNA synthesis and termination of cell division in basal meristematic cells as well as the resumption of these processes as related to the initiation of lateral root primordia (LRP) were studied in tissues of Triticum aestivumroots incubated with 3H-thymidine. All cells of the stelar parenchyma and cortex as well as most endodermal and pericycle cells left the mitotic cycle and ceased proliferative activity at the basal end of the meristem and at the beginning of the elongation zone. Some endodermal and pericycle cells started DNA synthesis in the basal part of the meristem and completed it later on during their elongation, but they did not divide. In the cells of these tissues, DNA synthesis resumed above the elongation zone, the cells being located much closer to the root tip than the first newly dividing cells. Thus, the initiation of LRP started much closer to the root tip than it was previously believed judging from the distance of the first dividing pericycle cells from the root tip. DNA synthesizing and dividing cells first appeared in the stelar parenchyma, then, in the pericycle, and later, in the endodermis and cortex. It seems likely that a release from the inhibition of DNA synthesis allows the cells that completed mitotic cycle in the basal part of meristem in the G1phase to cease the proliferative arrest above the elongation zone and to continue their cycling. The location of the first DNA synthesizing and dividing cells in the stelar parenchyma and pericycle did not strictly correspond to the LRP initiation sites and proximity to the xylem or phloem poles. This indicates that LRP initiation results from the resumption of DNA synthesis in all pericycle and stelar parenchyma cells that retained the ability to synthesize DNA and occurs only in the pericycle sector situated between the two tracheal protoxylem strands, all cells of which terminated their mitotic cycles in the G1phase. 相似文献

Mitotic activity was investigated in the primary meristem of horizontally oriented excised root tips of Zea mays during the first six hours of their georeaction. The only statistically significant change that could be detected in the meristem was a decrease of the length of its upper half. No significant difference in mitotic activity was found between the upper and lower halves of roots kept continuously horizontal for 6 h. Cell proliferation thus seems relatively insensitive to changes in the redistribution of endogenous growth regulators that are believed to occur within the meristem during the onset of geotropism. In the zone of bending proximal to the meristem cell length was significantly greater in the upper half than in either the lower half or in the equivalent position in vertical control roots. Thus, cell elongation seems to be promoted in the upper half of the horizontal root. Thus, The differences in cell length were not accompanied by any change in the proportion of nuclei synthesising DNA in these elongating, non-meristematic cells. 相似文献

DNA repair in higher plants; photoreactivation is the major DNA repair pathway in non-proliferating cells while excision repair (nucleotide excision repair and base excision repair) is active in proliferating cells 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7 下载免费PDF全文

We investigated expression patterns of DNA repair genes such as the CPD photolyase, UV-DDB1, CSB, PCNA, RPA32 and FEN-1 genes by northern hybridization analysis and in situ hybridization using a higher plant, rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Nipponbare). We found that all the genes tested were expressed in tissues rich in proliferating cells, but only CPD photolyase was expressed in non-proliferating tissue such as the mature leaves and elongation zone of root. The removal of DNA damage, cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and (6–4) photoproducts, in both mature leaves and the root apical meristem (RAM) was observed after UV irradiation under light. In the dark, DNA damage in mature leaves was not repaired efficiently, but that in the RAM was removed rapidly. Using a rice 22K custom oligo DNA microarray, we compared global gene expression patterns in the shoot apical meristem (SAM) and mature leaves. Most of the excision repair genes were more strongly expressed in SAM. These results suggested that photoreactivation is the major DNA repair pathway for the major UV-induced damage in non-proliferating cells, while both photoreactivation and excision repair are active in proliferating cells. 相似文献

Root growth, developmental changes in the apex, and hydraulic conductivity for Opuntia ficus-indica during drought 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Developmental changes in the root apex and accompanying changes in lateral root growth and root hydraulic conductivity were examined for Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Miller during rapid drying, as occurs for roots near the soil surface, and more gradual drying, as occurs in deeper soil layers. During 7 d of rapid drying (in containers with a 3-cm depth of vermiculite), the rate of root growth decreased sharply and most root apices died; such a determinate pattern of root growth was not due to meristem exhaustion but rather to meristem mortality after 3 d of drying. The length of the meristem, the duration of the cell division cycle, and the length of the elongation zone were unchanged during rapid drying. During 14 d of gradual drying (in containers with a 6-cm depth of vermiculite), root mortality was relatively low; the length of the elongation zone decreased by 70%, the number of meristematic cells decreased 30%, and the duration of the cell cycle increased by 36%. Root hydraulic conductivity ( L P ) decreased to one half during both drying treatments; L P was restored by 2 d of rewetting owing to the emergence of lateral roots following rapid drying and to renewed apical elongation following gradual drying. Thus, in response to drought, the apical meristems of roots of O. ficus-indica near the surface die, whereas deeper in the substrate cell division and elongation in root apices continue. Water uptake in response to rainfall in the field can be enhanced by lateral root proliferation near the soil surface and additionally by resumption of apical growth for deeper roots. 相似文献

1,8-Cineole inhibits root growth and DNA synthesis in the root apical meristem ofBrassica campestris L. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

1,8-cineole is a volatile growth inhibitor produced bySalvia species. We examined the effect of this allelopathic compound on the growth of other plants usingBrassica campestris as the test plant. Cineole inhibited germination and growth ofB. campestris in a dosedependent manner. WhenB. campestris was grown for 5 days with various concentrations of cineole, the length of the roots was found to be shorter as the concentration
of cineole increased, whereas the length of the hypocotyl remained constant up to 400 μM cineole, indicating that cineole
specifically inhibited growth of the root. The mitotic index in the root apical meristem of 3-day-old seedlings decreased
from 5.6% to 1.6% when exposed to 400 μM cineole, showing that cineole inhibits the proliferation of root cells. We then examined
the effect of cineole on DNA synthesis by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy using antibody raised against 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine
(BrdU, an analogue of thymidine) in thin sections of samples embedded in Technovit 7100 resin. The results clearly demonstrated
that cineole inhibits DNA synthesis in both cell nuclei and organelles in root apical meristem, suggesting that cineole may
interfere with the growth of other plant species by inhibiting DNA synthesis in the root apical meristem. 相似文献

When roots of lentil ( Lens culinaris L., cv. Large blonde) were placed in horizontal position for 2 h, their upper side elongated faster than their lower side, and also faster than vertical controls. The length of the cortical cells was greater in the upper half than in the lower half of roots which had been horizontally stimulated for 2 h. The zone of curvature extended from the distal part of the meristem to the proximal part of the cell elongation zone. The curvature in the meristem was due to early differentiation of the cells of its upper part. In the proximal part of the cell elongation zone, bending took place due to inhibition of cell growth in the lower half of the root. The results obtained are in agreement with the hypothesis of lateral transport of an inhibitor in gravistimulated roots. This inhibitor should be present in greater amounts in the lower side of the stimulated root and in lower amounts in its upper side than in the vertical controls. 相似文献

The short-term influence (5-180 min) of 50 microM Al on cell division was investigated in root tips of two Zea mays L. varieties differing in Al-resistance. The incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine into S-phase nuclei was visualized by immunofluorescence staining using confocal laser fluorescence microscopy. In Al-sensitive plants 5 min Al exposure was enough to inhibit cell division in the proximal meristem (250-800 microm from the tip). After 10 or 30 min with Al only, a few S-phase nuclei were found in the cortical initials. By contrast, cell division was stimulated in the distal elongation zone (2.5-3.1 mm). After 180 min the protrusion of an incipient lateral root was observed in this zone. These observations suggest a fast change in cell patterning rather than a general cariotoxic effect after exposure to Al for a short time. No such changes were found in Al-resistant maize. This is the first report showing such fast Al-induced alterations in the number and the position of dividing cells in root tips. The observation that similar changes were induced by a local supply of naphthylphthalamic acid to the distal transition zone suggests that inhibition of auxin transport plays a role in the Al-induced alteration of root cell patterning. 相似文献

Sodium butyrate at 5 mM in aerated White's medium reduced the mitotic index in root meristems of seedlings of Pisum sativum to < 1% after 12 h. This effect was lessened as the butyrate concentrations were lowered. The fraction of the root meristem nuclei in G2 increased to ~ 70% after 12 h in butyrate. After 12 h exposure to butyrate, seedlings transferred lo medium without butyrate gradually re-established their normal root meristem mitotic pattern, with a burst of mitosis at 10 h after the transfer. Even a brief exposure to butyrate inhibited DNA synthesis, and nuclei released from butyrate exposure were still unable to resume normal DNA synthesis even after 12 h. This information suggests that butyrate halts progression through the cell cycle by arresting meristem nuclei in G2 and inhibiting DNA synthesis. 相似文献

The biological and cytological studies of the vegetative meristem of Stipa tenacissima L. gave clear indication about its structure. It was similar to what was previously described in several species. This meristem showed an axial apical zone constituted by sommital cells of both tunica and corpus, a sub-apical lateral zone, very chromophilous, representing the initial ring and a medullar meristem. The cytofluorimetric determination of DNA in interphasic nuclei of these three zones revealed that the nuclei of the apical and lateral zones were in S phase, announcing the beginning of mitosis and meaning that these zones were the centers of the foliar initiation. The medullar meristem was in dormancy: all the nuclei were in G1 phase. 相似文献

In previous studies, using a membrane-permeable protease inhibitor, E-64d, we showed that autophagy occurs constitutively in the root cells of barley and Arabidopsis. In the present study, a fusion protein composed of the autophagy-related protein AtAtg8 and green fluorescent protein (GFP) was expressed in Arabidopsis to visualize autophagosomes. We first confirmed the presence of autophagosomes with GFP fluorescence in the root cells of seedlings grown on a nutrient-sufficient medium. The number of autophagosomes changed as the root cells grew and differentiated. In cells near the apical meristem, autophagosomes were scarcely found. However, a small but significant number of autophagosomes existed in the elongation zone. More autophagosomes were found in the differentiation zone where cell growth ceases but the cells start to form root hair. In addition, we confirmed that autophagy is activated under starvation conditions in Arabidopsis root cells. When the root tips were cultured in a sucrose-free medium, the number of autophagosomes increased in the elongation and differentiation zones, and a significant number of autophagosomes appeared in cells near the apical meristem. The results suggest that autophagy in plant root cells is involved not only in nutrient recycling under nutrient-limiting conditions but also in cell growth and root hair formation. 相似文献

The dynamics of root growth, proliferation of initial cells of the root cap, rhizodermis, and central metaxylem, as well as structural changes in the cells induced by a 72-h exposure to a high (0.1 mM) concentration of NiSO4 were studied in 3-day-old wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings. In the roots of control plants, we observed a 12-h rhythm of changes in the length of the cells that completed elongating. Upon the treatment with nickel, this effect was negated, and a considerable reduction in the root length increment was observed in 12 h. In 24 h, root growth essentially ceased. Cell elongation was suppressed acropetally, and the cells, whose elongation was over, became shorter. In the meristem and apical part of the elongation zone, slow cell growth continued during the second and even third days. Autoradiography showed that the earliest effect of nickel on the processes of root morphogenesis observed in 6 h was a suppression of cell transition to DNA synthesis. The cells, where DNA synthesis has already started or which were in other stages of the cycle, continued to pass slowly through the cycle and completed it. Sister cells formed as a result of division subsequently left the cycle in the phase G1 and transited to dormancy. It was found that the main mechanism of cell proliferation cessation was the suppression of cell transition to DNA synthesis. In the cells elongating when exposed to nickel, tissue-specific changes in the nucleus structure were observed (chromatolysis in the rhizodermis and cortex, pycnosis in the endodermis, a disturbance of the nucleus structure in the central metaxylem). These disorders were only observed after cessation of elongation. Root incubation in 0.1 mM nickel solution did not affect the onset of cell differentiation in the xylem and metaphloem and shifted its beginning to the root tip. However, in 24 h the initiation and growth of root hairs were suppressed. It was concluded that tissue-specific nickel-induced changes in the nucleus structure in the elongating cells do not cause the cessation of root growth, although point to nickel toxic effect on the cells in the course of elongation. 相似文献

Glu receptors are known to function as Glu-activated ion channels that mediate mostly excitatory neurotransmission in animals. Glu receptor-like genes have also been reported in higher plants, although their function is largely unknown. We have identified a rice (Oryza sativa) Glu receptor-like gene, designated GLR3.1, in which mutation by T-DNA insertion caused a short-root mutant phenotype. Histology and DNA synthesis analyses revealed that the mutant root meristematic activity is distorted and is accompanied by enhanced programmed cell death. Our results supply genetic evidence that a plant Glu receptor-like gene, rice GLR3.1, is essential for the maintenance of cell division and individual cell survival in the root apical meristem at the early seedling stage. 相似文献
