Reversion of far red-absorbing phytochrome to red-absorbing phytochrome without phytochrome destruction (that is, without loss of absorbancy and photoreversibility) occurs in the following tissues of etiolated Alaska pea seedlings (Pisum sativum L.): young radicles (24 hours after start of imbibition), young epicotyls (48 hours after start of imbibition), and the juvenile region of the epicotyl immediately subjacent to the plumule in older epicotyls. Reversion occurs rapidly in the dark during the first 30 minutes following initial phototransformation of red-absorbing phytochrome to far red-absorbing phytochrome. If these tissues are illuminated continuously with red light for 30 minutes, the total amount of phytochrome remains unchanged. Beyond 30 minutes after a single phototransformation or after the start of continuous red irradiation, phytochrome destruction commences. In young radicles, sodium azide inhibits this destruction, but does not affect reversion. In older tissues in which far red-absorbing phytochrome destruction begins immediately upon phototransformation, strong evidence for simultaneous far red-absorbing phytochrome reversion is obtained from comparison of far red-absorbing phytochrome loss in the dark following a single phototransformation with far red-absorbing phytochrome loss under continuous red light. 相似文献

Seeds of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. cv. Grand Rapids) were imbibed and given either short irradiation with red or far red light prior to drying or dried under continuous red or far red light. Seeds treated with either short or continuous red germinate in darkness, whereas seeds treated with either short or continuous far red require a short exposure to red light, after a period of imbibition, to stimulate germination. Irradiation of dry red seeds with far red light immediately before sowing results in a marked inhibition of germination. This result was predicted since far red-absorbing form phytochrome can be photoconverted to the intermediate P650 (absorbance maximum 650 nm) in freeze-dried tissue. A similar far red treatment to continuous red seeds is less effective and it is concluded that in these seeds a proportion of total phytochrome is blocked as intermediates between red-absorbing and far red-absorbing form phytochrome, which only form the far red-absorbing form of phytochrome on imbibition. The inhibition of dry short red seeds by far red light can be reversed by an irradiation with short red light given immediately before sowing, confirming that P650 can be photoconverted back to the far red-absorbing form of phytochrome. The results are discussed in relation to seed maturation (dehydration) on the parent plant. 相似文献

Effects of red (600 to 680 nanometers) and far red (700 to 760 nanometers) irradiances on Amaranthus retroflexus L. seeds indicate that synthesis of phytochrome in the red-absorbing form takes place in water-imbibed nongerminating seeds at 35 C. After 96 hours in darkness, conversion of about 0.10% phytochrome to the far red-absorbing form induces 50% germination. Continuous far red radiation at 35 C with an irradiance of 0.4 × 10−10 Einsteins per square centimeter per second caused photoinactivation of phytochrome about equal to the rate of synthesis. Germination of seeds at 35 C, following far red irradiation adequate to establish the photostationary state, is enhanced by holding at 26 C for 16 minutes. Germination is unaffected relative to controls at constant temperature, if the period at 26 C precedes irradiation. The results indicate a quick response to action of phytochrome in a germination process. 相似文献

Photocontrol of Anthocyanin Synthesis: IV. Dose Dependence and Reciprocity Relationships in Anthocyanin Synthesis

Under continuous far red light, anthocyanin synthesis in young, dark-grown cabbage seedlings (Brassica oleracea cv. Red Acre) is irradiance-dependent and fails to follow the reciprocity (irradiance × time = constant) relationships. Under intermittent far red treatments extended over a prolonged period of time, anthocyanin synthesis becomes dose dependent, and reciprocity relationships are valid. Intermittent far red treatments with short dark intervals between successive irradiations are as effective as continuous treatments, if the total radiation doses applied with the two types of treatments are equal and are applied over equally long periods of time. The high effectiveness of inter-mittent treatments, the dose dependence, and the validity of the reciprocity relationships suggest that cycling between red-absorbing form of phytochrome and far red-absorbing form of phytochrome and the formation of electronically excited far red-absorbing form of phytochrome, or the involvement of a second photoreactive system, besides phytochrome, may play only a minor role in high irradiance reaction anthocyanin synthesis brought about by prolonged exposures to far red irradiation. 相似文献

Dark Reversion of Phytochrome in Lettuce Seeds Stored in a Water-saturated Atmosphere 总被引:7,自引:6,他引:1

Dark reversion of the far red-absorbing form of phytochrome, which does not occur in dry lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. Grand Rapids) seeds, appears to take place in seeds stored in a water-saturated atmosphere. The water content (approximately 70% after 10 days) of such seeds is insufficient to support germination; however the treatment enhances germination in seeds stored for 1 to 5 days, but this enhancement subsequently disappears, and the effect of extended storage (up to 28 days) is inhibiting. The half-time for dark far red-absorbing phytochrome reversion is 7 to 8 days, and at this time it can be completely reversed by exposing the seeds to a flash of red light. Storage of more than 7 to 8 days decreases red light enhancement of germination. 相似文献

By using density labeling, it was found that the protein moiety of phytochrome is synthesized de novo in the red-absorbing form in cotyledons of dark-grown pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) seedlings, as well as those irradiated with red light and returned to the dark. The rate of synthesis appears to be unaffected by the light treatment. Turnover of the red-absorbing form was also detected in dark grown seedlings using density labeling, while turnover of the far red-absorbing form is already implied from the well known “destruction” observed in irradiated seedlings. In both cases, true degradation of the protein is involved, but the rate constant of degradation of the far red-absorbing form may be up to two orders of magnitude greater than that of the red-absorbing form. The data indicate that, in pumpkin cotyledons, phytochrome levels are regulated against a background of continuous synthesis through divergent rate constants of degradation of the red and far red-absorbing forms and the relative proportions of the two forms present. 相似文献

Phytochrome is rapidly degraded in vivo after photoconversion from the stable red-absorbing (Pr) form to the far red-absorbing (Pfr) form. Previously, we have shown in etiolated oat seedlings that ubiquitin-phytochrome conjugates (Ub-P) appear after Pfr formation suggesting that oat phytochrome is rapidly degraded by a ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic pathway. Here, we extend this observation to etiolated tissue from other monocotyledonous (corn [Zea mays. (L.)] and rye [Secale cereale (L.)] and dicotyledonous species (pea [Pisum sativum (L,)] and zucchini squash [Cucurbita pepo (L.)]). Following Pfr formation by red light, all four species synthesized a heterogeneous series of Ub-P that appeared and disappeared concomitant with the degradation of the chromoprotein. When Pfr was photoconverted back to Pr by a far-red light pulse, degradation of phytochrome ceased and the levels of Ub-P concomitantly dropped. In pea and zucchini squash, loss of Ub-P after photoconversion of Pfr back to Pr was rapid, occurring with a half-life of approximately 5 to 10 minutes. These data indicate that the accumulation of Ub-P after Pfr formation is a general phenomenon in etiolated seedlings of higher plants and further support the hypothesis that plants degrade Pfr via Ub-P intermediates. 相似文献

Phytochrome Transformation and Action in Seeds of Rumex crispus L. during Secondary Dormancy 总被引:9,自引:7,他引:2

Promotion of germination by red light fails after prolonged dark imbibition of Rumex crispus L. seeds, indicative of a secondary dormancy. The degree and rate of inception of the dormancy increases with increasing temperature. Following establishment of the dormancy, germination response to red light can be restored by either prolonged cold treatment or brief high temperature shifts. Loss of phytochrome was not a factor in the initial establishment of the dormancy. When the seeds are in secondary dormancy, the chromophore of phytochrome can be transformed to the far red-absorbing form, but the far red-absorbing form cannot induce germination. The responses to changes in temperature suggested dependence of germination on order disorder transitions in components of the seeds. 相似文献

A 10 C dark prechilling of johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers.] seeds, when terminated by a 2-hr, 40 C temperature shift, potentiates about 40% germination at 20 C in darkness. Irradiation of the seeds before, during, and at the end of prechilling with far red light reduces the subsequent germination, although red irradiation after the far red can overcome some of the inhibition. However, either brief red or far red irradiation given immediately after the temperature shift inhibits subsequent germination by one-third to one-half. The results suggest that the far red-absorbing form of phytochrome is a factor in the prechill-induced dark germination and that phytochrome participates in the inhibition of germination by irradiations immediately after the temperature shift. 相似文献

After a 3-minute irradiation with red light, which saturates the phototransformation from the red light-absorbing form of phytochrome to the far red light absorbing form of phytochrome, about 40% of the phytochrome extractable from hooks of etiolated squash seedlings (Cucurbita pepo L. cv. Black Beauty) can be pelleted as Pfr at 17,000g after 30 minutes. Dark controls yield only 2 to 4% pelletable phytochrome in the form Pr. If a dark period intervenes between red irradiation and extraction, the bound Pfr gradually loses its photoreversibility. The time course for this destruction parallels the time course for phytochrome destruction in vivo following saturating red irradiation. The soluble fraction of phytochrome remains constant. These results suggest that in squash seedlings phytochrome destruction is related exclusively to the fraction which becomes membrane-bound. The induction of phytochrome binding by red light is not completely reversible by far red. In plants given saturating red followed immediately by saturating far red light, 12% of the phytochrome is found in the bound fraction as Pr if the phytochrome extraction is immediate. If a dark period intervenes between red-far red treatment and extraction, the bound phytochrome is released within 2 hours. A model of the binding properties of phytochrome, based on molecular interaction at the membrane is proposed, and possible consequences for the mechanism of action of phytochrome are discussed. 相似文献

Shaded leaves in plant canopies receive a higher proportion of far red relative to red light than is received by unshaded leaves. Brief end-of-day irradiations with red or far red light, acting through the phytochrome system, reversibly control morphological development of tobacco plants. Leaves that received far red light for 5 minutes at the end of each day during development were longer and narrower than those that received end-of-day red light. The far red treated leaves weighed less, had fewer stomata, and had less chlorophyll per unit area of leaf. Net CO2 assimilation rates did not differ significantly between red- and far red-treated leaves on an area basis; however, the far red-treated leaves assimilated significantly more CO2 on a leaf weight basis. 相似文献

Arabidopsis seeds were germinated on sterile mineral agar supplemented with 1% glucose and cultured under continuous light regimes. With 4-hour incandescent plus 20-hour monochromatic illumination in the region from 400 to 485 nanometers there was effective floral induction at an intensity of 100 microwatts per square centimeter. Exclusion of far red wave lengths from the 4-hour incandescent period sharply reduced the effectiveness of subsequent monochromatic blue light in promoting floral induction. Delayed floral induction occurred under continuous incandescent light lacking far red and was attributable to the blue wave lengths. Continuous 485 nanometer (100 microwatts per square centimeter) exposure without any white light treatment during the postgermination growth period was ineffective in floral induction and meristem development. Light at 730 nanometers under the same conditions was partially effective, whereas energy between 500 and 700 nanometers was completely ineffective. When continuous monochromatic light at a 3-fold higher energy level was administered, all photomorphogenic responses were accomplished with 485 nanometer light, including germination and 100% floral induction without any white light treatment at any time during the experiment. Almost equal quantum effectiveness was calculated when equivalent quantum flux densities in the region from 710 to 740 nanometers or at 485 nanometers were used. It is postulated that floral induction in Arabidopsis may be the result of a continuous excitation of a stable form of far red-absorbing phytochrome localized in or on a membrane, and that excitation can be either by direct absorption of energy by far red-absorbing phytochrome or by transfer from an accessory pigment. 相似文献

Phytochrome (far red form) alone can mediate anthocyanin synthesis in the mustard seedling (Sinapis alba L.). Complete photoreversibility and reciprocity, for both red and far red light exposures over a period of at least 5 minutes, demonstrate this phytochrome involvement. 相似文献

Red light-enhanced pelletability of phytochrome was observed in extracts of all 11 plants tested: Avena sativa L., Secale cereale L., Zea mays L., Cucurbita pepo L., Sinapis alba L., Pisum sativum L., Helianthus anuus L., Raphanus sativus L., Glycine max (L.) Merr., Phaseolus vulgaris L., and Lupinus albus L. This enhanced pelletability was observed in all 11 plants following in situ irradiation (in vivo binding) but only in Sinapis and Cucurbita after irradiation of crude extracts (in vitro binding). In vivo binding was not strongly dependent upon pH and, with few exceptions, was not markedly sensitive to high salt concentration, whereas in vitro binding was completely reversed by both high pH and high salt concentration. However, both binding phenomena were observed only with a divalent cation in the extract buffer. In vivo binding was further characterized using Avena which showed an increase in pelletability from less than 10% in dark control extracts to more than 60% in extracts of red light-irradiated shoots. The half-life for binding was 40 seconds at 0.5 C and was strongly temperature-dependent, binding being complete within 5 to 10 sec at 22 C. If pelletable phytochrome in the far red-absorbing form was photoconverted back to the red-absorbing form in situ, phytochrome was released from the pelletable condition with a half-life of 25 minutes at 25 C and 100 minutes at both 13 C and 3 C. No cooperativity in red light-enhanced pelletability with respect to phytochrome-far red-absorbing form was observed. 相似文献

High germination of curly dock (Rumex crispus L.) seeds is evident after suitable imbibition and temperature shift treatment, but germination at constant temperatures fails without an input of far red-absorbing form of phytochrome. Preliminary imbibitions at high temperatures (30 C) sharply reduce germination induced by temperature shifts. High germination may be restored by low energies of red radiation, or by brief far red adequate for the photosteady state. Prolonged far red during imbibition also nullifies temperature shift-induced germination. After prolonged far red, high germination may be restored by red radiation of an energy dependent upon the duration of the far red treatment. The evidence supports the conclusion that dark germination induced by temperature shifts arises from the interaction of pre-existent far red-absorbing form of phytochrome in the mature seeds with the temperature shift. 相似文献

The level of light-induced germination of the seed of common purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) and curly dock (Rumex crispus L.) changes with dark incubation time prior to brief, low energy, red light treatment. The rate at which phytochrome—far red-absorbing form (Pfr) acts in the light-induced population of seeds was measured by quantitating per cent reversals of the red light effect with saturating far red light exposures at successive times after the red light exposure. A linear positive correlation was found between this rate and the final germination level. These results are compatible with a model involving changing levels, during dark incubation, of a component with which Pfr interacts. In this model, germination is initiated after attainment of a certain level of interaction between Pfr and this component. These findings also support the view that the Pfr to Pr decay rate constant and total phytochrome level are stable during dark incubation. 相似文献

Localization of phytochrome which mediates rhizoid differentiation in Spirogyra was investigated. The red-absorbing form of phytochrome (Pr) seems to be distributed all over the cell periphery which remained in the centripetal end part after the centrifugation, as rhizoids formed equally well with red spotlight irradiation of three different parts of an end cell, i.e. distal end, middle, and proximal end, and with irradiation of centrifugal and centripetal end parts of a centrifuged end cell. The Pr distribution was confirmed with an experiment using far red irradiation over the entire cell, centrifugation, and red spotlight irradiation. The Pr-phytochrome molecules appeared to be mobile because no dichroic orientation was shown with polarized red spotlight irradiation. On the contrary, it is suggested that far red-absorbing form of phytochrome molecules are evacuated from the centripetal end part by the centrifugation in an experiment involving red irradiation over the entire cell-centrifugation-far red spot irradiation. Rhizoid formation was repressed markedly by far red irradiation of the centrifugal end part but not of the centripetal end part. 相似文献

Interactions between Mild NaCl Stress and Red Light during Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. cv Grand Rapids) Seed Germination

The sensitivity of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. cv Grand Rapids) seeds to red light was reduced by NaCl concentrations which had no effect upon the germination of continuously illuminated seeds. The germination capacity of the seeds was fully restored by increased red light exposures. Indirect evidence indicates that NaCl does not affect the photoconversion of red-absorbing form of phytochrome to the far-red absorbing form of phytochrome. Instead, the increased red light requirements are attributable to increases in the threshold levels of the far-red absorbing form of phytochrome necessary to induce germination and to changes in the slopes of the fluence-response curves. Results also show that the sensitivity of the seeds to NaCl decreased as the time between red light irradiation and the imposition of NaCl stress increased. 相似文献

The entrainability of Lemna perpusilla CO2 output by periodic 15 minute red (R) and far red (F) illuminations was tested in low nitrate medium. R every 8 hour, symbolized R/R/R, gives a flat output (no entrainment) as does F/F/F. However, R/—/— (R every 24 hour) entrains rapidly, and F/—/— does so as well, in a similar manner. The effects of R/R/— and F/F/— also resemble each other closely. Entrainment by R/F/F or R/R/F is rapid and indifferent to order of presentation, e.g., R/F/F and F/R/F lead to the same steady state. Typical phytochrome reversals occur, e.g., R,F/F/F holds output flat, while F,R/F/F entrains in the manner of R/F/F. Blue (B) light acts like R in schedules such as B/F/F but like F in schedules such as B/R/R. In all schedules studied, the zeitgeber (primary synchronizer) appears to be the sharpest transition from a low to a high level of far red-absorbing phytochrome that occurs with a 24-hr periodicity. Thus in entrainment, and by inference in photoperiodic timing, the level of far red-absorbing phytochrome at any time may be less significant than the succession of levels of which it is a part, a conclusion that implies the existence of a “scanning” mechanism that compares levels of far red-absorbing phytochrome at various times of day. 相似文献

Red Light-inhibited Mesocotyl Elongation in Maize Seedlings: II. Kinetic and Spectral Studies

Red light induces two distinct inhibition responses in mesocotyls of etiolated corn seedlings. A light dose of 10 nanoeinsteins per square centimeter is saturating for the more sensitive response, whereas doses above 1,000 nanoeinsteins per square centimeter are required to exceed the threshold sensitivity of the less sensitive one. The sensitive response can be detected within 20 minutes of the onset of illumination whereas the other response does not become apparent until more than 4 hours after the beginning of irradiation. The reciprocity law is valid for the first response, but probably not for the second. An action spectrum for the first response shows two maxima, one at 640 nanometers and the other between 660 and 670 nanometers, with a pronounced minimum near 650 nanometers. The effects both of 640 and 665 nanometers of light were reversible by far red light, but doses of far red required for full reversibility were almost three orders of magnitude greater than the doses of red required either to saturate the initial inhibition or to reverse the effect of far red light. The results suggest that corn may contain a red-absorbing pigment other than phytochrome which in some way interacts with phytochrome in the inhibition of mesocotyl elongation by red light. 相似文献
