In the glasshouse, adult, apterous Myzus persicae (Sulz.) and Aphis fabae Scop, settled better and deposited more larvae on sucrose-sprayed sugar-beet plants than on water-sprayed plants. M. persicae settled badly and deposited few larvae on plants that were kept in the dark before or after infestation. The effects of darkness on aphids were reduced by spraying the host plants with 10% solutions of sucrose before infestation. Viruliferous M. persicae transmitted beet yellows virus (BYV) and beet mild yellowing virus (BMYV) less efficiently to dark-treated plants than to those grown in normal daylight. Spraying sugar beet with sucrose before inoculation with viruliferous M. persicae increased the proportion of successful BYV transmissions but only when the plants were dark-treated. The effects of sucrose and darkness on settling and larviposition of aphids and on virus transmission may be related to changes in the concentration of carbohydrates, particularly sugars, in the leaves. 相似文献

The loss of total carbohydrate (sugars and starch) per cent of residual dry matter (dry matter less total carbohydrate) during a period of darkness from leaves of sugar-beet plants infected with yellows virus was as great as that from the leaves of healthy plants. The conclusion of previous workers, based on the results of the Sachs iodine test for starch and the occurrence of 'phloem gummosis' in infected plants, that starch accumulates in infected leaves because translocation is prevented by blockage of the sieve-tubes, is therefore incorrect.
Older leaves of infected plants had a higher content of reducing sugars and sucrose, and usually but not invariably of starch, both at the beginning and end of the dark period, than comparable leaves of healthy plants. By far the greater part of the increase was in reducing sugars. In leaves taken in late September from infected plants growing in the field, 20 % or more of the total dry matter was present as reducing sugars. The reducing sugars in both healthy and yellows-infected leaves were shown by paper chromatography to be glucose and fructose in approximately equal amounts.
Accumulation of carbohydrate in infected leaves is probably not a passive consequence of differences in carbohydrate production, distribution and utilization, but is attributable to changes in the physiology of the cells of the leaf.
The carbohydrate content of sugar-beet leaves was little affected by infection with beet mosaic virus.
Yellows-infected leaves had a lower water content per cent of fresh weight than healthy leaves. This was accounted for by the higher carbohydrate content of infected leaves, for the ratio of water: residual dry matter was not affected by infection or was slightly reduced. This implies that hydration was independent of carbohydrate content. 相似文献

The germination of conidia of Peronospora farinosa f. sp. betae, collected from sugar beet and suspended in deionized water, was inhibited by dilution with 10% solutions of glycerol, glucose or sucrose and with sap from sugar-beet leaves. Germination was stimulated by diluting with deionized water but not with tap water or biological saline. Substances that diffused from excised buds of sugar-beet plants into deionized water also stimulated germination of conidia but diffusates from leaves did not. This may partly explain why buds are more susceptible to downy mildew than leaves in sugar beet. Germination of conidia was apparently stimulated more by diffusates from buds of seedlings than by those from buds of older plants; this may help to explain why sugar-beet seedlings are more susceptible to downy mildew than older plants. Diffusates from plants of four sugar-beet stocks, that differed from each other in susceptibility to downy mildew, had very similar effects on germination of P. farinosa conidia. Stimulation of spore germination on the surfaces of buds and leaves did not seem, therefore, to be an important factor in determining resistance or susceptibility to downy mildew in these stocks. 相似文献

Seedlings of two susceptible sugar-beet stocks were grown either in daylight or in darkness for 24 h before or after inoculation with Peronospora farinosa f.sp. betae. Post-inoculation darkness did not significantly affect the percentage of inoculated plants that became infected but increased the percentage of plants on which the fungus sporulated in both stocks. The effects on sporulation of darkness before inoculation were more variable than those of post-inoculation darkness. In the same stocks removal of all leaves, except those in the bud, before inoculation increased the percentage both of plants which became infected and of those on which P. farinosa sporulated. Infection and sporulation were not significantly affected by defoliation in a more resistant stock. Defoliation or darkness may have affected the concentration of certain sugars or amino acids in the bud leaves thereby changing the expression of polygenically-controlled resistance to downy mildew. 相似文献

Sucrose synthase (SuSy) is considered the first key enzyme for secondary growth because it is a highly regulated cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the reversible conversion of sucrose and UDP into UDP-glucose and fructose. Although SuSy enzymes preferentially functions in the direction of sucrose cleavage at most cellular condition, they also catalyze the synthetic reaction. We isolated a gene that encodes a SuSy from Populus simonii×Populus nigra and named it PsnSuSy2 because it shares high similarity to SuSy2 in Populus trichocarpa. RT-PCR revealed that PsnSuSy2 was highly expressed in xylem, but lowly expressed in young leaves. To characterize its functions in secondary growth, multiple tobacco overexpression transgenic lines of PnsSuSy2 were generated via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The PsnSuSy2 expression levels and altered wood properties in stem segments from the different transgenic lines were carefully characterized. The results demonstrated that the levels of PsnSuSy2 enzyme activity, chlorophyll content, total soluble sugars, fructose and glucose increased significantly, while the sucrose level decreased significantly. Consequently, the cellulose content and fiber length increased, whereas the lignin content decreased, suggesting that PsnSuSy2 plays a significant role in cleaving sucrose into UDP-glucose and fructose to facilitate cellulose biosynthesis and that promotion of cellulose biosynthesis suppresses lignin biosynthesis. Additionally, the noticeable increase in the lodging resistance in transgenic tobacco stem suggested that the cell wall characteristics were altered by PsnSuSy2 overexpression. Scanning electron microscopy was performed to study the cell wall morphology of stem, and surprisingly, we found that the secondary cell wall was significantly thicker in transgenic tobacco. However, the thickened secondary cell wall did not negatively affect the height of the plants because the PsnSuSy2- overexpressing lines grew taller than the wildtype plants. This systematic analysis demonstrated that PsnSuSy2 plays an important role in cleaving sucrose coupled with cellulose biosynthesis in wood tissue. 相似文献

The effect of low phosphate supply (low P) was determined on the diurnal changes in the rate of carbon export, and on the contents of starch, sucrose, glucose, and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (F2,6BP) in leaves. Low-P effects on the activities of a number of enzymes involved in starch and sucrose metabolism were also measured. Sugar beets (Beta vulgaris L. cv. F58-554H1) were cultured hydroponically in growth chambers and the low-P treatment induced nutritionally. Low-P treatment decreased carbon export from the leaf much more than it decreased photosynthesis. At growth chamber photon flux density, low P decreased carbon export by 34% in light; in darkness, export rates fell but more so in the control so that the average rate in darkness was higher in low-P leaves. Low P increased starch, sucrose, and glucose contents per leaf area, and decreased F2, 6BP. The total extractable activities of enzymes involved in starch and sucrose synthesis were increased markedly by low P, e.g. adenosine 5-diphosphoglucose pyrophosphorylase, cytoplasmic fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, uridine 5-diphosphoglucose pyrophosphorylase, and sucrose-phosphate synthase. The activities of some enzymes involved in starch and sucrose breakdown were also increased by low P. We propose that plants adapt to low-P environments by increasing the total activities of several phosphatases and by increasing the concentrations of phosphate-free carbon compounds at the expense of sugar phosphates, thereby conserving Pi. The partitioning of carbon among the various carbon pools in low-P adapted leaves appears to be determined in part by the relative capacities of the enzymes for starch and sucrose metabolism. 相似文献

Spraying sugar-beet seedlings in the glasshouse, with 1% or 10% solutions of sucrose, 24 h before inoculation with Peronospora farinosa, significantly reduced their susceptibility to downy mildew. The proportion of inoculated plants that became infected was reduced by spraying with sucrose but the main effect was the inhibition of sporulation. Applications of glucose or fructose also increased the resistance of beet seedlings to P. farinosa. Spraying with sucrose 1 or 2 days before inoculation was much more effective than was spraying shortly before inoculation, or 24 h afterwards, or adding sucrose to the inoculum. Washing sucrose-sprayed seedlings with distilled water 1–2 h before inoculation removed only part of the effect of sucrose on sporulation. Although the mechanism by which applications of sugars affected susceptibility to downy mildew is not understood, the results suggest that the main effects occurred inside the host plant rather than externally. The possible significance of these results, in breeding for resistance to downy mildew and in the control of this disease in the field, is discussed. 相似文献

Changes in carbon flow and sink/source activities can affect floral, architectural, and reproductive traits of plants. In potato, overexpression (OE) of the purple acid phosphatase 2 of Arabidopsis (AtPAP2) resulted in earlier flowering, faster growth rate, increased tubers and tuber starch content, and higher photosynthesis rate. There was a significant change in sucrose, glucose and fructose levels in leaves, phloem and sink biomass of the OE lines, consistent with an increased expression of sucrose transporter 1 (StSUT1). Furthermore, the expression levels and enzyme activity of sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) were also significantly increased in the OE lines. These findings strongly suggest that higher carbon supply from the source and improved sink strength can improve potato tuber yield. 相似文献

Antisense repression of sucrose synthase in carrot (Daucus carota L.) affects growth rather than sucrose partitioning 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
To unravel the roles of sucrose synthase in carrot, we reduced its activity in transgenic carrot plants by an antisense approach. For this purpose, the cDNA for the main form of carrot sucrose synthase was expressed in antisense orientation behind the 35S promoter of cauliflower mosaic virus. In independent antisense plant lines grown in soil, sucrose synthase activity was reduced in tap roots but not in leaves. In the sink organs, sucrose utilization was markedly decreased and higher levels of sucrose but lower levels of UDP-glucose, glucose, fructose, starch and cellulose were found. The phenotype of the antisense plants clearly differed from that of control plants. Both leaves and roots were markedly smaller, and the antisense line with the lowest sucrose synthase activity also developed the smallest plants. In most of the plant lines, the leaf-to-root dry weight ratios were not changed, suggesting that sucrose synthase in carrot is a major determinant of plant growth rather than of sucrose partitioning. In contrast to the acid invertases, which are critical for partitioning of assimilated carbon between source leaves and tap roots (Tang et al., Plant Cell 11: 177–189 (1999)), sucrose synthase appears to be the main sucrose-cleaving activity, feeding sucrose into metabolism. 相似文献

Metabolite profiling of untransformed and cyanamide hydratase- (Cah) transformed (denoted 1C) soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill) leaves revealed only small differences in plants grown in the greenhouse or in the dark for 24 h, indicating that the Cah enzyme that converts cyanamide to urea has no substrates in soybean leaves and does not affect metabolism. Untransformed leaves sprayed with 0.5% cyanamide developed necrotic lesions within 2 h in the light but not in the dark. The sprayed 1C leaves showed little visible damage and accumulated high concentrations of urea, amino acids, and some sugars, but sucrose decreased over a 24 h period. The untransformed necrotic leaves also accumulated some urea and amino acids apparently due to cyanamide degradation, while sucrose and some organic acids decreased. Sprayed 1C leaves in the dark for 24 h contained very little urea and lower sugar levels. The untransformed sprayed leaves accumulated some organic acids, some sugars including sucrose, and urea and total amino acids. Unsprayed plants of both lines placed in the dark for 24 h showed increases in some amino acids and phosphate, and decreases in other amino acids, sugars, and organic acids. Thus the Cah enzyme can detoxify cyanamide by conversion to urea that is converted to amino acids. Other metabolic changes associated with leaf necrosis and darkness are also described. Principal component analysis confirmed the similarities and differences observed. Comparison of the GC-MS metabolic profiling analysis of amino acids with a dedicated system shows large differences, indicating a limitation of the former system. 相似文献

Seasonal dynamic of total nonstructural saccharides (TNS) and individual saccharides (starch, sucrose, glucose, fructose, fructans) was followed in rhizomes and stem bases of Calamagrostis epigeios (L.) Roth at two types of meadows communities in the South Moravia (Czech Republic): cnidion and molinion alliances, which differ in their water regime. The TNS were formed mainly by fructans and starch, while glucose, sucrose and fructose were low. The amount of TNS in rhizomes and stem bases of plants from wet cnidion site was higher than in plants from drier molinion site. The seasonal trends of all saccharides were similar in the both sites. During growing season (June to October) the main storage sugar was fructan (18 – 21 % of dry biomass). At the beginning of September the content of fructan decreased to 10 – 12 % and simultaneously the content of sucrose increased from 1 to 3 %. This may increase frost resistance. The content of TNS in the stem bases was lower than in the rhizomes. During winter time the stem bases contained 2 to 2.5 % of sucrose. Plant height and aboveground biomass were also higher in molinion site. 相似文献

Inflorescence meristems and vegetative tissues, excised from noninduced Bougainvillea ‘San Diego Red’ plants, were cultured in vitro in media containing either 3% fructose, glucose or sucrose as carbon sources. Growth and development of young leaves were equivalent whether sucrose or fructose was used whereas floret initiation on inflorescence meristems was much greater when fructose or glucose was the carbon sources. Brief (1-3 days) exposure of inflorescence meristems to fructose at the beginning of culture and subsequent transfer to sucrose did not increase development over continuous culture in sucrose. Longer exposures (4-7 days) to fructose with subsequent transfer to sucrose did, however, increase the percentage of meristems developing florets, but such treatment did not increase development to the same level as those exposed to fructose for the entire period in vitro. During the first 18 days of culture, growth of meristems in sucrose was linear while that in fructose was exponential. There was no difference in carbohydrate requirements for floret initiation on meristems excised from short-day induced or noninduced plants, suggesting that induction does not enhance the ability of meristems to utilize sucrose. 相似文献

Plant–herbivore interactions are influenced by chemical plant traits, which can vary depending on the plants’ abiotic and
biotic environment. Drought events, which are predicted to become more frequent and prolonged due to climate change, may affect
primary and secondary plant metabolites contributing to constitutive resistance. Furthermore, the ability of plants to respond
to herbivore attack in terms of induced resistance may be altered under drought conditions. We assessed the effects of drought
stress on constitutive and induced apple plant resistance to a generalist insect herbivore by quantifying plant and herbivore
responses in concert. Plants were exposed to different drought stress intensities (constitutive resistance) and subsequently
to herbivore damage treatments that included different damage durations (induced resistance). As drought stress intensified,
plant growth and concentrations of the leaf phenolic phloridzin decreased, whereas leaf glucose concentrations increased.
Changes in fructose concentrations and in herbivore feeding preferences indicated a non-monotonic shift in constitutive resistance.
Moderately stressed plants showed reduced fructose concentrations and were consumed least, while severely stressed plants
were fructose-enriched and consumed most compared to well-watered control plants showing intermediate fructose concentrations
and palatability. We found no evidence for effects of drought stress on induced resistance, as herbivore feeding preferences
for undamaged over damaged plants were independent of drought intensity. Our results suggest a strong role of primary metabolites
for drought-dependent variation in constitutive plant resistance and offer novel experimental insights into the effects of
drought stress on induced plant resistance across a gradient of water deprivation. 相似文献

The relationship between age-related resistance of peper plants to Phytophthora capsici and contents of carbohydrates, amino acids, phenolics and mineral nutrients in pepper stems was studied using two pepper cultivars, Hanbyul (susceptible) and Kingkun (resistant). With increasing age of pepper plants, the two cultivars, which differ in their susceptibility to Phytophthora blight, became gradually resistant to the disease. The cultivar Kingkun distinctly showed the age-related resistance to Phytophthora blight at the second branch stage. The weight of dry matter in healthy stems of pepper plants at the second branch stage was twice that at the six leaf stage. The resistant cultivar Kingkun contained lower levels of fructose, glucose and sucrose in stems than the susceptible cultivar Hanbyul at the different developmental stages. No consistent differences between the developmental stages of the plants were recognized with regard to their glucose content. However, the contents of fructose and sucrose in the cultivar Hanbyul greatly increased at the second branch stage. The levels of inositol reduced in both pepper cultivars during plant development. In view of the fact that there were only slight changes in the amount of total amino acids, it seems unlikely that there is a relationship between the amino acid metabolism and the retardation of Phytophthora infection during plant development. The amounts of total phenolic compounds in pepper stems were relatively low at the later growth stages of the plants and also in the resistant cultivar Kingkun. The contents of macroelemental nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium were drastically reduced in pepper stems at the later plant growth stage. No significant differences between the cultivars or the plant growth stages were found in the silicon and microelemental nutrients such as sodium, iron, zinc and manganese. These results suggest that the expression of age-related resistance of pepper plants may be due to the morphological and nutritional changes in tissues of pepper stems during ageing, i.e. the pronounced increase in weight of dry matter, the significant decrease in amounts of mineral nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium, and the tow contents of fructose, glucose and sucrose in the stem tissues. 相似文献

Silverleaf whitefly (SLW), Bemisia argentifolii Bellows and Perring, is one of the most noxious pests of numerous field and vegetable crops, causing billions of dollars worth of damage throughout the world. SLW is a phloem feeder whose feeding is likely to interfere with phloem transport. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that SLW infestation impairs carbohydrate export from source leaves, and consequently increases their carbohydrate content. The youngest fully expanded leaves of cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L., cv. Siv'on), grown under SLW-infested and noninfested conditions, were characterized for their diurnal changes in carbohydrate content and photoassimilate export. SLW infestation induced a considerable reduction in net photosynthetic rate (Pn ), coupled with increased sucrose, glucose and fructose and decreased starch concentrations. Export rate was determined after 14 CO2 pulse-labeling both by in situ monitoring of leaf radioactivity and by analyzing the content and radioactivity of the major carbon metabolites. Radioactive counting indicated a lower rate of 14 C efflux for the infested plants. A similar trend was found for the specific activities of sucrose and the three soluble sugars combined (sucrose, glucose and fructose). A single exponential decay function with asymptote was fitted to the above efflux curves. All the calculated exponential coefficients demonstrated lower export rates after SLW injury. These results indicate that SLW impairs photoassimilate export, suggesting possible down-regulation of Pn due to increased foliar soluble sugar contents. 相似文献

Carbohydrate Composition and Acid Invertase Activity in Rice Leaves Infected with Pyricularia oryzae
Ethanol-soluble carbohydrates in healthy and blast-infected leaves and also cultures of Pyricularia oryzae were analyzed using gas chromatography. Arabitol, mannitol, and trehalose occurred in infected leaf tissue, but not in healthy controls. Cultures of P. oryzae contained mannitol and trehalose, but not arabitol and sucrose. The presence of arabitol only in blast-infected rice leaves suggests that arabitol synthesis may be induced in infected leaf tissue as a result of the rice-blast fungus interaction, but may not be within blast fungus itself. The amounts of glucose, fructose, and sucrose in infected leaves were slightly increased until 5 days, and greatly enhanced at 7 days after inoculation, There were no differences in amounts of these sugars between the cultivars Nakdong and Dobong. At 7 days after inoculation, increases in amounts of arabitol, mannitol, and trehalose were pronounced in the susceptible cultivar Nakdong than in the moderately susceptible cultivar Dobong. The increased amounts of glucose and fructose in infected plants of the two cultivars were closely correlated with the presence of a very active invertase. 相似文献

番茄叶片糖与转化酶的日变化研究 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
为探讨转化酶在叶片糖分含量和光合作用日变化中的作用,测定了番茄(Lycopersicon esculentumL.)叶片光合速率、转化酶活性、淀粉、蔗糖、葡萄糖和果糖含量,并分别分析了12:00前后它们间的相关关系.结果表明:番茄日间叶片净光合速率在10:00和16:00出现一大一小两个高峰;6:00~18:00叶片中淀粉和果糖呈现持续升高,而蔗糖和葡萄糖为先升后降趋势;光合速率同叶片蔗糖含量和胞质转化酶活性存在高度正相关,淀粉和果糖含量同光合速率未表现出显著相关性.由此可知,胞质转化酶在蔗糖代谢方面有明显的作用;果糖可能是通过抑制胞壁转化酶活性,促进了蔗糖外运. 相似文献
