In a study of various phytopathogenic fungi, we found that fungithat belong to the genus Rhizoctonia produce IAA efficientlyfrom tryptophan. R. solani Kühn MAFF-305219, in particular,produced large amounts of tryptophol (Tol), which was assumedto be a specific by-product of the indole-3-pyruvate (IPy) pathway,in addition to IAA. Therefore, this fungus seemed suitable foranalysis of the function and the regulation of the biosynthesisof auxin by a fungal pathogen. Under normal aerobic conditions,the ratio of IAA to Tol synthesized by this strain was higherthan that under less aerobic conditions. In metabolic studieswith various indole derivatives, R. solani converted L-tryptophanand indole-3-acetaldehyde to IAA and Tol, but other indole derivativeswere scarcely metabolized. These results suggest that both IAAand Tol are synthesized from tryptophan through the IPy pathwayin Rhizoctonia. (Received May 27, 1996; Accepted July 8, 1996)  相似文献

-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) accumulation occurs in cultured ricecells when ammonium is added to the medium [Kishinami and Ojima(1980) Plant Cell Physiol. 21: 581–589]. Whether thisphenomenon occurs in rice plant tissues was examined with respectto exogenously supplied auxins: 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid(2,4-D), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and naphthalene-acetic acid(NAA). In intact rice plants grown in medium containing ammonium withoutauxin, glutamine first increased, then asparagine graduallyincreased. In both shoots and roots, the asparagine contentbecame the highest among four amino acids after 4 days of cultureperiod. GABA did not increase at all, its level remaining lowin both shoots and roots throughout the culture period. GABA accumulation was observed in excised rice root tips whenthey were incubated in the medium containing ammonium in thepresence of 2,4-D, IAA or NAA. In the absence of auxin, however,excised rice root tips accumulated asparagine and glutamine,but not GABA. Rice root segments obtained from a region in whichroot cells had already developed to maturity did not accumulateGABA but asparagine and glutamine in the presence of both ammoniumand 2,4-D. These results suggest that GABA accumulation occurs in rapidlygrowing and dividing tissue, such as the apical meristem ofrice root in the presence of auxin during ammonium assimilation.

Plant small RNAs (sRNAs) play significant roles in regulating various developmental processes and hormone signalling pathways involved in plant responses to a wide range of biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the functions of sRNAs in response to rice sheath blight remain unclear. We screened rice (Oryza sativa) sRNA expression patterns against Rhizoctonia solani and found that Tourist‐miniature inverted‐repeat transposable element (MITE)‐derived small interfering RNA (siRNA) (here referred to as siR109944) expression was clearly suppressed upon R. solani infection. One potential target of siR109944 is the F‐Box domain and LRR‐containing protein 55 (FBL55), which encode the transport inhibitor response 1 (TIR1)‐like protein. We found that rice had significantly enhanced susceptibility when siR109944 was overexpressed, while FBL55 OE plants showed resistance to R. solani challenge. Additionally, multiple agronomic traits of rice, including root length and flag leaf inclination, were affected by siR109944 expression. Auxin metabolism‐related and signalling pathway‐related genes were differentially expressed in the siR109944 OE and FBL55 OE plants. Importantly, pre‐treatment with auxin enhanced sheath blight resistance by affecting endogenous auxin homeostasis in rice. Furthermore, transgenic Arabidopsis overexpressing siR109944 exhibited early flowering, increased tiller numbers, and increased susceptibility to R. solani. Our results demonstrate that siR109944 has a conserved function in interfering with plant immunity, growth, and development by affecting auxin homeostasis in planta. Thus, siR109944 provides a genetic target for plant breeding in the future. Furthermore, exogenous application of indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA) or auxin analogues might effectively protect field crops against diseases.  相似文献

Somatic embryogenesis can be induced in tissue cultures of Freesiarefracta either directly from the epidermal cells of explants,or indirectly via intervening callus. These two pathways ofsomatic embryogenesis can be controlled and regulated by varyingthe combinations and levels of exogenous hormones. When younginflorescence segments were cultured in vitro on modified N4(MN4) medium supplemented with 2 mg l–1 indoleacetic acid(IAA) and 3 mg l–1 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), some ofthe epidermal cells began to exhibit the features of embryogeniccells. These cells produced embryoids and developed into newplants through direct somatic embryogenesis. If the same explantswere placed on Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium containing2 mg l–1 IAA, 05 mg l–1 BAP and 05 mg l–1naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), pale-yellow translucent nodularcalluses appeared on the surface of the explants. When thiskind of callus was transferred to MN6 medium with 2 mg l–1IAA and 3 mg l–1 BAP, embryoids formed which further developedinto plantlets. The regenerated plants were morphologicallynormal and possessed the normal diploid chromosome number of2n = 22. A similar result has also been obtained with youngleaf explants of this plant. The early segmentations of embryogeniccells and the development of embryoids were studied using histologicaland scanning electron microscopic techniques, and the resultshave been discussed in association with the ontogeny and originof the embryoids.

The IAA biosynthetic pathway of tryptophan to IAA via IAM wasdetected in Bradyrhizobium spp. (slow-growing Rhizobium) butnot in Rhizobium spp. (fast-growing Rhizobium). A simple methodusing rapid HPLC analysis to measure the conversion from NAMto NAA was developed to detect indole-3-acetamide hydrolaseactivity in cultures of bacteria. Most of the Bradyrhizobiumstrains produce large amounts of NAA converted from NAM underour assay conditions. In addition, GC/MS analysis of purifiedextracts from cultures of B.japonicum wild-type strain J1063,grown in a tryptophan-supplemented liquid medium, demonstratedthe presence of IAM and IAA. The results strongly suggest thatbiosynthesis of IAA in Bradyrhizobium spp. involves the samepathway as that operating in Pseudomonas savastanoi and Agrobacteriumtumefaciens.

A high zinc concentration of 520 μm, approximately 100 times that used most often in standard plant tissue culture media, was found to be superior in liquid callus cultures of japonica rice, increasing growth to 146% compared with standard N6 medium. At the same time, the internal zinc concentration increased 40 times in fast growing cells; soluble protein doubled, and free amino acids decreased. Under zinc-free conditions the cultures slowed in growth, and several free amino acids such as aspartic acid, glutamic acid, asparagine, and glutamine accumulated. We suggest that zinc acts as a direct regulatory factor in inducing auxin activity, but not auxin levels, making high internal zinc accumulation mandatory if high auxin concentrations are required as in rice callus cultures.

A number of Penicillium isolates were recovered in association to Rhizoctonia solani strains pathogenic on tobacco and from soil on plates pre-colonized by the pathogen itself. Their antagonism toward R. solaniAG-2-1 was evaluated in dual cultures in vitro. Inhibition of growth was evident to some extent in most pairings, while hyphal interactions referable to mycoparasitic relationships were not observed. However, the occurrence of plasmolysis and/or vacuolisation and the induction of monilioid cells were indicative of the release of bioactive compounds. Therefore, production of fungitoxic metabolites was tested by adding concentrated culture filtrates of each Penicillium isolate to the growth medium of R. solani. Complete and lasting inhibition was incited by culture filtrates of some isolates belonging to P. brevicompactum, P. expansum, and P. pinophilum. Three purified compounds, respectively mycophenolic acid, patulin and 3-O-methylfunicone, which were extracted from culture filtrates, were able to inhibit R. solani in vitro. Their production was also detected in dual cultures of the same Penicilliumstrains with R. solani prepared in sterilized soil and when the Penicilliumstrains were cultured directly on R. solani mycelium harvested from liquid cultures. The possible role of such metabolites in antagonism of the above-mentioned Penicilliumspecies against R. solani is discussed.  相似文献

Both indole acetic acid (IAA) accumulation and nitrogen fixation were increased in Azospirillum cultures isolated from rice roots and soils by carbofuran (2, 3-dihydro-2, 2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranyl-N-methyl carbamate), an insecticide widely used in rice cultivation. Addition of carbofuran at 5 and 10 parts/106 significantly stimulated nitrogen fixation in Azospirillum. Indole acetic acid accumulation by Azospirillum cultures was more pronounced at a lower level (250 g/50 ml) of carbofuran. Evidence is provided for carbofuran degradation by Azospirillum cultures. The 7-benzofuranol (2, 3-dihydro-2–2-dimethyl-7 benzofuranol), a major degradation product of carbofuran, however, did not enhance the IAA accumulation. The higher accumulation of IAA in Azospirillum in the presence of carbofuran is probably related to the increased growth due to fixed N present in the insecticide. Results indicate the involvement of parent compound carbofuran and/or compounds other than the 7-benzofuranol in the higher accumulation of IAA by Azospirillum sp.  相似文献

Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis for DNA products amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used for the direct detection ofRhizoctonia solani AG 1 IA and AG 2-2 IIIB,R. oryzae, R. oryzae-sativae andR. fumigata from the diseased rice sheaths. A rapid DNA extraction method with a solution of sodium hydroxide was conducted to extract parasite DNA from diseased rice sheaths. 28S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) derived from fungal genomic DNA extracted by the alkaline method was specifically PCR-amplified. The results of PCR-RFLP analysis for DNA samples from artificially inoculated rice sheath tissues with eachRhizoctonia spp. and the corresponding culture on the medium using two restriction enzymes.HhaI andMspI, showed identical polymorphisms. PCR-RFLP analysis using DNA samples from naturally infected rice sheath tissues also revealed the possibility of direct diagnosis ofR. solani AG 1 IA,R. oryzae andR. oryzae-sativae.  相似文献

Bioassays show that rhizobitoxine-producing strains of Bradyrhizobiumjaponicum excreted another phytotoxic compound into their culturefluid. This compound was purified and identified by HPLC andmass spectrometry as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). The levelsof IAA produced by the different strains of B. japonicum, forwhich the genotype groups have been determined with respectto the degree of base substitution in and around nifDKE, werequantified using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and adeuterated internal standard. Genotype II strains, which producerhizobitoxine, excreted more than 20µof IAA into theirculture fluid. However, no IAA was detected in the culture supernatantsof genotype I strains, which do not produce rhizobitoxine. Thiswas true even when tryptophan was added to the medium. Moreover,cells of genotypes I and II strains, which were grown underour culture conditions, did not show IAA degradation activity.These results suggest that, in wild-type B. japonicum strains,complete IAA biosynthesis is confined exclusively to genotypeII strains that produce rhizobitoxine.

The rate of short-term accumulation of [35S]sulfite in Chlorellavulgaris cells was found to be strongly dependent on the pHof the medium. The rate increased with decreased pH, and theincrease in rate closely paralleled the increase in the concentrationof the un-ionized form of sulfite. When the pH of the mediumwas increased, fast accumulation ceased immediately. The rateof accumulation showed a strong temperature dependence, withan apparent temperature coefficient of 1.93 per 10°C rise,between 10 and 25°C. Because pKa values of sulfite shiftwith temperature, the rates were corrected by dividing by theconcentration of the un-ionized form of sulfite present at therespective temperatures. The temperature coefficient was thenfound to decrease to 1.45. When cells which had been allowedto accumulate [35S]sulfite for 20 min were transferred to amedium containing no sulfite, more than 50% of the accumulated[35S] was released into the medium in 20 min. Our results arecompatible with a simple diffusion model of SO2 transport intoChlorella cells. (Received September 26, 1996; Accepted January 20, 1997)  相似文献

The effect of methyl jasmonate (mJA), jasmonic acid and traumaticacid, derivatives of the octadecanoic pathway, on the productionof alkaloids by cell suspension cultures of Catharanthus roseusL. (G) Don was investigated. Cells cultured in the presenceof auxin (m-cells) did not accumulate alkaloids. The additionof exogenous mJA to m-cells restored the ability to producealkaloids. In cells cultured in a 2,4-D-starved medium (p-cells),exogenous mJA greatly increased alkaloid production. Similardata were obtained for jasmonic acid. In contrast, traumaticacid had no effect on alkaloid production. The sensitivity ofcell suspension cultures to exogenous mJA was restricted tothe first four days of subculture corresponding to the activegrowth phase, whereas the alkaloid accumulation occurred onlyduring the stationary phase of the subculture (days 6 to 10).When p-cells were treated with octadecanoic pathway inhibitors,the ability to produce alkaloids was strongly reduced. The additionof exogenous mJA always restored the ability to produce alkaloids.These data suggest that in response to auxin depletion, endogenousmJA could be produced and act by linking physiological eventsthus leading to alkaloid biosynthesis activation.

Changes in the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in rice in response to treatment with Rhizoctonia solani toxin and/or R. solani elicitor were studied. Treatment of rice leaf sheaths with R. solani-toxin significantly increased the SOD activity within 12?h and the maximum enzyme activity was detected 36?h after treatment at which period a fourfold increase in SOD activity was recorded compared to control plants. Isozyme analysis indicated that five new SOD isozymes (SOD-1, SOD-3, SOD-6, SOD-7 and SOD-8) were induced in rice 1?–?2 days after toxin treatment. In elicitor-treated rice leaf sheaths, SOD-2 increased in activity 1?–?5 days after treatment. Pretreatment of rice leaf sheaths with elicitor suppressed the toxin-induced accumulation of SOD.  相似文献

An intergeneric somatic hybrid was obtained upon fusion of protoplasts of rice and barley. Protoplasts isolated from suspension cultures of rice cells were fused by electrofusion with protoplasts that had been isolated from young barley leaves. Some of the resultant calli formed green spots and shoots. Only one shoot formed roots, and it was subsequently successfully transferred to soil in a greenhouse. Its morphology closely resembled that of the parental rice plant. Cytological analysis indicated that the plant had both small chromosomes from rice and large chromosomes from barley. Southern hybridization analysis with a fragment of the tryptophan B (trpB) gene revealed both a rice-specific band and a barley-specific band. Mitochondrial (mt) and chloroplast (cp) DNAs were also analyzed using the same method. The plant was shown to contain novel mitochondrial and chloroplast sequence rearrangements that were not detected in either of the parents.

The sympton of dwarfing in the sea campion, Silene vulgaris(Moench) Garcke sub sp. maritima(With.) A. & D. Löveinfected with the anther smut fungus Ustilago violacea (Pers.)Fuckel, a systemic, perennial parasite, has been investigated. Extracts of both healthy and diseased plants contain IAA andGA3, but diseased plants contain less gibberellins than healthyplants. Neither IAA nor gibberellins were detected in significantquantities in the medium when U. violacea was grown in pureculture, but IAN was present. IAN was also found m extractsof diseased plants and it is tentatively suggested that it isformed by the fungus and may accumulate in the host owing tothe inability of the plant to convert IAN to IAA The exogenousapplication of IAN to healthy plants does not produce any diseasesymptoms. The dwarfing symptom of the diseased plant may be due to thelower levels of gibberellins which it contains compared withhealthy plants since the exogenous application of GA3, restoresthe diseased plant to normal growth  相似文献

Rice sheath blight, caused by the necrotrophic fungus Rhizoctonia solani, is one of the most devastating and intractable diseases of rice, leading to a significant reduction in rice productivity worldwide. In this article, in order to examine sheath blight resistance, we report the generation of transgenic rice lines overexpressing the rice oxalate oxidase 4 (Osoxo4) gene in a green tissue‐specific manner which breaks down oxalic acid (OA), the pathogenesis factor secreted by R. solani. Transgenic plants showed higher enzyme activity of oxalate oxidase (OxO) than nontransgenic control plants, which was visualized by histochemical assays and sodium dodecylsulphate‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS‐PAGE). Transgenic rice leaves were more tolerant than control rice leaves to exogenous OA. Transgenic plants showed a higher level of expression of other defence‐related genes in response to pathogen infection. More importantly, transgenic plants exhibited significantly enhanced durable resistance to R. solani. The overexpression of Osoxo4 in rice did not show any detrimental phenotypic or agronomic effect. Our findings indicate that rice OxO can be utilized effectively in plant genetic manipulation for sheath blight resistance, and possibly for resistance to other diseases caused by necrotrophic fungi, especially those that secrete OA. This is the first report of the expression of defence genes in rice in a green tissue‐specific manner for sheath blight resistance.  相似文献

Shoot bud formation was induced in the stem callus of Sisymbriumirio L., a Cruciferous plant. The callus was established onMurashige and Skoog medium with IAA (1?0 mg l–1) and kinetin(0?5 mg l–1). The effect of three purines (kinetin, 6-benzylaminopurine,and 6-methylaminopurine) incorporated singly along with IAAin MS medium was investigated. It was found that kinetin orMAP (3–5 mg l–1) along with IAA (0?5 mg l–1)were the most effective in inducing shoot bud formation. Adeninesulphate (10 mg l–1) with kinetin (1?0 mg l–1) alsoinduced bud differentiation. The morphogenetic potential of the callus to differentiate shootbuds was seemingly lost in 2 year old callus cultures. However,on successively subculturing on a regeneration medium shootbuds differentiated and the number of buds formed improved onfurther subculture. Two types of meristematic outgrowths were recognized: (i) arisingfrom superficial cells and (ii) arising from deep-seated cellsin the vicinity of tracheidal elements. However, both typesformed meristematic nodules on the surface of which shoot budsdifferentiated. Some embryoids were also recognized arisingsuperficially.  相似文献

Hairy root cultures of Atropa belladonna L. were established by infection either with Agrobacterium rhizogenes ATCC 15834 or MAFF 03-01724, and transgenic plants were obtained from both hairy root cultures. Doubly transformed roots were induced by re-infection of the leaf segments of transgenic Atropa belladonna plants (A. rhizogenes 15834) with MAFF 03-01724. Shoots and viviparous leaves were regenerated from the doubly transformed roots. The genetic transformation was determined by the opine assay (agropine, mannopine and/or mikimopine) and polymerase chain reaction. Physiological changes and tropane alkaloid biosynthesis in the hairy roots (singly and doubly transformed) were investigated. The alkaloid content in the doubly transformed root strain was intermediate as compared to the root strains which were singly transformed. On the other hand endogenous IAA levels in doubly transformed roots were significantly decreased compared to both singly transformed roots.Abbreviations BA benzyladenine - IAA indoleacetic acid - NAA naphthaleneacetic acid - PCR polymerase chain reaction - t-ZR trans-zeatin  相似文献

Abiotic stresses cause changes in the balance of phytohormones in plants and result in inhibited root growth and an increase in the susceptibility of plants to root rot disease. The aim of this work was to ascertain whether microbial indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) plays a role in the regulation of root growth and microbially mediated control of root rot of cotton caused by Fusarium solani. Seed germination and seedling growth were improved by both NaCl and Mg2SO4 (100 mM) solutions when treated with root-associated bacterial strains Pseudomonas putida R4 and Pseudomonas chlororaphis R5, which are able to produce IAA. These bacterial strains were also able to reduce the infection rate of cotton root rot (from 70 to 39%) caused by F. solani under gnotobiotic conditions. The application of a low concentration of IAA (0.01 and 0.001 μg/ml) stimulated plant growth and reduced disease incidence caused by F. solani (from 70 to 41–56%, respectively). Shoot and root growth and dry matter increased significantly and disease incidence was reduced by bacterial inoculants in natural saline soil. These results suggest that bacterial IAA plays a major role in salt stress tolerance and may be involved in induced resistance against root rot disease of cotton.  相似文献
