More substances leaked from a higher-vigor seed sample than from a lower-vigor sample. This indicates that, in some cases, electric conductivity does not represent seed vigor level very well, especially for high-vigor seeds. Results from germination, germination index, leachate conductivity, and the ratio of K^+/Na^+ from three-seed lots of Chinese cabbage (Brassica pekinensis (Louv.) Rupr) showed that K^+/Na^+ correlated well with germination and germination index. The ability of K^+/Na^+ to indicate well changes in vigor was further supported by investigation in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) seeds and another cultivar of Chinese cabbage seeds. Thus, seed leakage of K^+/Na^+ can accurately indicate seed vigor, whereas the conductivity test failed to do so. Furthermore, K^+/Na^+ showed up bigger quantitative differences in vigor level than did the conductivity test. This findings provide a more sensitive and accurate index for the assessment of seed vigor. The mechanisms of Na^+ and K^+ ion transport are also discussed. 相似文献

Voltage-gated potassium channels of plants are multimeric proteins built of four α-subunits. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana , nine genes coding for K+ channel α-subunits have been identified. When co-expressed in heterologous expression systems, most of them display the ability to form heteromeric K+ channels. Till now it was not clear whether plants use this potential of heteromerization to increase the functional diversity of potassium channels. Here, we designed an experimental approach employing different transgenic plant lines that allowed us to prove the existence of heteromeric K+ channels in plants. The chosen strategy might also be useful for investigating the activity and function of other multimeric channel proteins like, for instance, cyclic-nucleotide gated channels, tandem-pore K+ channels and glutamate receptor channels. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that the overexpression of betA (encoding choline dehydrogenase from Escherichia coli ) or AtNHX1 (a vacuolar Na+ /H+ antiport from Arabidopsis thaliana ) gene can improve the salt tolerance of transgenic plants. However, little is known about the effects of the transgene pyramiding of betA and AtNHX1 . Here, betA + AtNHX1 transgene pyramiding tobacco was produced by sexual crossing, and the salt tolerance was evaluated at the cellular and plant levels. In NaCl stress, the Na+ concentration in vacuoles and vacuolar membrane potential of transgene pyramiding cells were similar to those of AtNHX1 -transgenics, and much higher than those of betA -transgenics when detected using fluorescent dye staining; transgene pyramiding cells showed a higher protoplast viability and comparable mitochondrial activity as compared with single transgenics; and transgene pyramiding plants showed comparable Na+ content in leaves as compared with AtNHX1 -transgenics and remarkably higher than betA -transgenics; and transgene pyramiding lines exhibited higher percentage of seed germination, better seedling growth and higher fresh weight than lines that had betA or AtNHX1 alone. Based on the integrative analysis of salt tolerance, the consistency between the cellular level and the whole plant level was confirmed and the transgene pyramiding plants exhibited improved salt tolerance, but compared with the plants with betA or AtNHX1 alone, the differences were relatively small. Other mechanisms involved in salt tolerance should be considered to further enhance transgene pyramiding plants salt tolerance. 相似文献

Arabidopsis mutants with reduced response to NaCl and osmotic stress 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
We isolated 6 mutant lines of Arabidopsis thaliana that expressed reduced sensitivity to salt and osmotic stress during germination. All 6 lines cum recessive mutations in a single gene, designated reduced salt sensitivity (rss), linked to the ADH marker on chromosome 1. The rss mutants are less sensitive than wild type for NaCl and osmotic stress inhibition of germination, tolerating approximately 150 mM higher concentrations of NaCl and about 250 mM higher concentrations of sorbitol in the media. Germination assays on media containing various salts indicate that the rss mutations reduce sensitivity lo Na+ and Rh+ but also, to a much lesser degree, to K+ and Css+ . However, the rss mutation does not improve plant growth when plantlets are transferred to high salt or high osmotic pressure media after germination. The rss plantlets accumulate praline to a significantly lesser degree than wild type when they are exposed to either salt or osmotic stress. Thus, the rss mutants differ from wild type both at germination and during vegetative growth indicating that the rss mutations are pleiotropic and might affect perception of solutes or some aspect of stress-induced signaling. The rss mutations do not alter ABA sensitivity and therefore probably do not affect ABA-mediated signaling. 相似文献

The SV channel encoded by the TPC1 gene represents a Ca2+ - and voltage-dependent vacuolar cation channel. Point mutation D454N within TPC1 , named fou2 for fatty acid oxygenation upregulated 2 , results in increased synthesis of the stress hormone jasmonate. As wounding causes Ca2+ signals and cytosolic Ca2+ is required for SV channel function, we here studied the Ca2+ -dependent properties of this major vacuolar cation channel with Arabidopsis thaliana mesophyll vacuoles. In patch clamp measurements, wild-type and fou2 SV channels did not exhibit differences in cytosolic Ca2+ sensitivity and Ca2+ impermeability. K+ fluxes through wild-type TPC1 were reduced or even completely faded away when vacuolar Ca2+ reached the 0.1-m m level. The fou2 protein under these conditions, however, remained active. Thus, D454N seems to be part of a luminal Ca2+ recognition site. Thereby the SV channel mutant gains tolerance towards elevated luminal Ca2+ . A three-fold higher vacuolar Ca/K ratio in the fou2 mutant relative to wild-type plants seems to indicate that fou2 can accumulate higher levels of vacuolar Ca2+ before SV channel activity vanishes and K+ homeostasis is impaired. In response to wounding fou2 plants might thus elicit strong vacuole-derived cytosolic Ca2+ signals resulting in overproduction of jasmonate. 相似文献

Plant roots respond to environmental stresses or the exogenous plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) by undergoing marked physiological and morphological changes. We show here that PERK4 , a gene that encodes a member of the Arabidopsis thaliana proline-rich extensin-like receptor kinase family, plays an important role in ABA responses. Mutation of PERK4 by T-DNA insertion decreased sensitivity to ABA with respect to seed germination, seedling growth and primary root tip growth. The effect on root growth was due to enhanced cell elongation rather than cell division. The cytosolic free calcium concentration and Ca2+ channel currents were lower in perk4 root cells than in wild-type cells in the presence of ABA. Root growth was similar in wild-type and perk4 plants after the application of a Ca2+ channel blocker. PERK4 localised to the plasma membrane, and was shown to be an ABA- and Ca2+ -activated protein kinase. Our data suggest that the receptor-like kinase encoded by PERK4 functions at an early stage of ABA signalling to inhibit root cell elongation by perturbing Ca2+ homeostasis. 相似文献

Abstract We surveyed 23 drugs that can interact with membrane components, such as ion channels, for their effect on spore germination. The results showed that triggering of spore germination was inhibited by specific calcium (Ca2+ ) potassium (K+ ) and sodium (Na+ ) channel blockers. 相似文献

Salt-tolerant reed plants ( Phragmites communis Trinius) and salt-sensitive rice plants ( Oryza sativa L. cv. Kinmaze) were grown in salinized nutrient solutions up to 50 m M NaCl, and growth, Na+ contents and kinetics of 22 Na+ uptake and translocation were compared between the species to characterize the salt tolerance mechanisms operating in reed plants. When both plants were grown under the same salinity, Na+ contents of the shoots were lower in reed plants, although those of the roots were quite similar. The shoot base region of both species accumulated Na+ more than the leaf blades did. Sodium-22 uptake and pulse-chase experiments suggested that the lower Na+ transport rate from root to shoot could limit excessive Na+ accumulation in the reed shoot. There was a possibility that the apparently lower 22 Na+ transport rate to the shoot of reed plants was due to net downward Na+ transport from shoot base to root. 相似文献

The influence of plant ontogeny on xylem exudate K+ concentrations and K+ transport to the shoot was studied in both nutrient-solution and field-grown tomato plants ( Lycopersicon esculentum ).
K+ concentrations in xylem exudate from decapitated plants decreased during tomato plant development from a high of 12 m M to a low of 5 m M . In the nutrient-solution plants, the most rapid decline occurred during the vegetative growth phase, while in field-grown plants, the xylem K+ concentrations remained high during an-thesis and then subsequently declined. The rapid decline in nutrient-solution plants might be related to a decrease in the absorptive efficiency of the root system. In field-grown plants, a reduction in the availability of assimilates to the root might account in part for the decrease in xylem exudate K+ concentrations. The volume (ml h−1 plant−1 ) and the net rates of K+ exudation (mmol h−1 plant−1 ) decreased dramatically as the fruits approached maturity. Since only a small reduction in xylem exudate K+ concentrations occurred during fruiting, the hydraulic conductivity of the root system decreased as the tomato plants aged. It is proposed that the ontogenetic changes in xylem transport of K+ contribute to a reduction in leaf free space K+ concentration which would explain the decline in tomato leaf K+ concentrations. 相似文献

Salinity tolerance of Kosteletzkya virginica. I. Shoot growth, ion and water relations 总被引:5,自引:2,他引:3
Abstract. Kosteletzkya virginica (L.) Presl., a dicotyledonous halophyte native to brackish tidal marshes, was grown on nutrient solution containing 0. 85, 170 or 255 mol m-3 NaCl, and the effects of external salinity on shoot growth and ion content of individual leaves were studied in successive harvests. Growth was stimulated by 85 mol m-3 NaCl and was progressively reduced at the two higher salinities. Growth suppression at high salinity resulted principally from decreased leaf production and area, not from accelerated leaf death. As is characteristic of halophytic dicots. K. virginica accumulated inorganic ions in its leaves, particularly Na+ and K+ . However, the Na+ concentration of individual leaves did not increase with time, but remained constant or even declined, seeming to be well-coordinated with changes in water content. A striking feature of the ion composition of salinized plants was the development of a dramatic gradient in sodium content, with Na+ partitioned away from the most actively growing leaves. Salt-treated plants exhibited a strong potassium affinity, with foliar K+ levels higher in salinized plants than unsalinized plants after an initial decrease. These results suggest that selective uptake and transport, foliar compartmentation of Na+ and K+ in opposite directions along the shoot axis, and the regulation of leaf salt loads over time to prevent build-up of toxic concentrations are whole-plant features which enable K. virginica to establish favourable K+ -Na+ relations under saline conditions. 相似文献

The K+ (86 Rb) uptake into the roots and the translocation to the shoots of 11-day-old intact wheat seedlings ( Triticum aestivum L. cv. Martonvásári 8) were investigated using plants grown with different K+ supplies. The effects of environmental conditions (darkness, humidity) and of metabolic and transport inhibitors (oligomycin, disalicylidene-propanediamine, 2,4-dinitriphenol, diethylstilbestrol, colchicine) were also studied. Plants with K content of about 0.2 mmol/g dry weight in the root and 0.5 mmol/g dry weight in the shoot (low K status) showed high K+ uptake into the roots and high translocation rates to the shoots. Both transport processes were very low in plants with K content of more than 1.5 and 2.2 mmol/g dry weight in the root and shoot, respectively (high K status).
Darkness and a relative humidity of the air of 100% did not influence K+ uptake by roots, but did inhibit upward translocation and water transport. Inhibition of photosynthesis and treatments with diethylstilbestrol (10−5 mol/dm3 ), as well as with colchicine resulted in inhibition of translocation in plants of low K status, but these inhibitors had little effect on K+ uptake by the roots. Oligomycin, 2,4-dinitrophenol and diethylstilbestrol (10−4 mol/dm3 ), however, inhibited K+ uptake by the roots. In general, K+ transport processes were almost unchanged in plants of high K status. It is concluded that only plants of low K status operating with active K+ transport mechanisms are responsive to environmental factors. In high K+ plants the transport processes are passive and are uncoupled from the metabolic energy flow. 相似文献

To achieve a deeper knowledge on the function of HAL1 gene in tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ) plants submitted to salt stress, in this study, we studied the growth and physiological responses to high salt stress of T3 transgenic plants (an azygous line without transgene and both homozygous and hemizygous lines for HAL1 ) proceeding from a primary transformant with a very high expression level of HAL1 gene. The homozygous plants for HAL1 gene did not increase their salt tolerance in spite of an earlier and higher reduction of the Na+ accumulation in leaves, being moreover the Na+ homeostasis maintained throughout the growth cycle. The greater ability of the homozygous line to regulate the Na+ transport to the shoot to long term was even shown in low accumulation of Na+ in fruits. By comparing the homozygous and hemizygous lines, a higher salt tolerance in the hemizygous line, with respect to the homozygous line, was observed on the basis of fruit yield. The Na+ homeostasis and osmotic homeostasis were also different in homozygous and hemizygous lines. Indeed, the Na+ accumulation rate in leaves was greater in hemizygous than in homozygous line after 35 days of 100 m M NaCl treatment and only at the end of growth cycle did the hemizygous line show leaf Na+ levels similar to those found in the homozygous line. With respect to the osmotic homeostasis, the main difference between lines was the different contribution of inorganic and organic solutes to the leaf osmotic balance. Taken together, these results suggest that the greater Na+ exclusion ability of the homozygous line overexpressing HAL1 induces a greater use of organic solutes for osmotic balance, which seems to have an energy cost and hence a growth penalty that reverts negatively on fruit yield. 相似文献

Role of β-amylase in starch metabolism during soybean seed development and germination 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Differences in starch metabolism during seed development and germination of two soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merrill] genotypes with normal seed β-amylase activity ['Williams' ( Sp 1b and 'Altona' ( Sp 1b )] and two soybean genotypes with undetectable seed β-amylase activity ['Chestnut' ( Sp 1au ) and 'Altona' ( Sp 1)] were investigated. Starch and soluble sugar profiles were essentially the same during seed development and germination. Total amylase activity of Williams and Altona ( Sp 1b ) peaked just prior to seed maturity and then dropped off slowly; whereas, the total amylase activity of Chestnut and Altona ( sp 1) was very low throughout seed development and germination. The differences in amylase activity between Altona ( Sp 1 b ) and Altona ( sp 1) was also seen in leaves. α-Amylase activity was similar in the four genotypes when β-amylase was inhibited with Hg2+ but was higher in the two genotypes with normal β-amylase activity when β-amylase was inhibited with heat plus Ca2+ . Low levels of starch phosphorylase activity were detected throughout seed development and germination, and the activity was similar in three of the genotypes and higher in Altona ( sp 1).
The protein, oil and oligosaccharide contents of mature seeds of the four genotypes were similar. Altona ( sp 1b ) and ( sp 1), which appear to be near isogenic lines, were not different in any morphological character or yield.
Altona ( Sp 1b ) showed greater hydrolysis of soybean seed starch than Altona ( sp 1), but the evidence indicates that the mutation resulting in greatly reduced or missing β-amylase activity has no effect on starch metabolism of developing and germinating soybean seeds. 相似文献

Effect of abscisic acid on stomatal opening in isolated epidermal strips of abi mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Abscisic acid-insensitive mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana L. var. Landsberg erecta were selected for their decreased sensitivity to ABA during germination. Two of these mutants, abi-1 and abi-2 , display a wilty phenotype as adult plants, indicating disturbed water relations. Experiments were undertaken to find out if this results from insensitivity of mutant stomates to ABA.
Growth conditions and methods to isolate epidermal strips were optimized to study stomatal movement. Wild type stomates required external ionic conditions comparable to those found for other species such as Commelina communis . The largest light-induced opening of A. thaliana stomates was found at an external KCl concentration of 50 m M . Stomatal apertures were increased by lowering external Ca2+ to 0.05 m M . The apertures of stomates incubated with 10 μ M ABA were not altered by changes in Ca2+ from 0.05 to 1.0 m M .
Stomates of all abi mutants showed a light-stimulated stomatal opening. The opening of wild type and abi-3 stomates was inhibited by ABA, while stomates of abi-1 and abi-2 did not respond to ABA. The insensitivity of abi-1 and abi-2 stomates to ABA may thus explain the observed disturbed water relations. 相似文献

Abstract The capacity to transport potassium and to discriminate between the different alkali cations has been found to affect sodium tolerance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae . Mutants with a defective capacity to transport K+ were more sensitive to high concentrations of Na+ because they accumulated more Na+ and less K+ than wild-type cells which showed high discrimination between K+ and Na+ . 相似文献

Young sunflower plants ( Helianthus annuus L. cv. Halcón), grown in nutrient solution at two K+ levels (0.25 and 2.5 m M ) were used to study the effect of K+ content in the root on uptake and transport of K+ to the exuding stream of decapitated plants. Roots of plants grown in low K+ gave higher exudation flux, higher K+ concentration in exudate and higher K+ flux than high K+ roots. After 6 h of uptake the K+ flux in low K+ roots was about three times that in high K+ roots. When the roots were kept in a nutrient solution in which Rb+ replaced K+ , low K+ roots exuded much more Rb+ than K+ after the first 2 h, whereas high K+ roots exuded about similar amounts of K+ and Rb+ . In intact plants grown at three different K+ levels (0.1, 1.0 and 10.0 m M ), there was an inverse relationship between the K+ level in the nutrient solution and the Rb+ accumulated in the roots or transported to the shoot. The results suggest that the transport of ions from xylem parenchyma to stele apoplast may be controlled by ions coming down from the shoot in sieve tubes. 相似文献
