  1. Under continuous irradiation, the growth of intact rice coleoptilewas strongly inhibited by red light, and somewhat preventedby blue and far-red light. The inhibitory effect of red lighton coleoptile elongation was caused by a low-energy brief irradiation,and a single exposure of 1.5 kiloergs cm–2 incidentenergy of red light brought about the 50% inhibition. This photoinhibitionof growth was observed only after the coleoptile had elongatedto about 10 mm or longer. The red light-induced effect was reversedby an immediately following brief exposure to far-red light,and the photoresponses to red and far-red light were repeatedlyreversible. The escape reaction of red lightinduced effect tookplace at a rate so that 50% of the initial reversibility waslost within 9 hr in darkness at 27. The inhibition by bluelight and reversal by far-red irradiation was also achievedrepeatedly with successive treatments of the coleoptiles. Theevidence for a low intensity red far-red reversible controlof coleoptile growth, indicative of control by phytochrome,seems clearly established in etiolated intact seedlings.
  2. Incontrast, the elongation of apically excised rice coleoptilesegments was promoted by a brief exposure to red light in 0.02M phosphate buffer, pH 7, and the effect was almost completelynullified by an immediately subsequent exposure to far-red light.It becomes evident that the growth of intact coleoptiles wasinhibited by a exposure to red light, while that of excisedsegments in a buffer was rather promoted by red irradiation.The direction of red light induced responses, either promotiveor inhibitory, depends upon the method of bioassay using intactcoleoptiles or their excised segments.

InHordeum vulgare cultivar “Kirin-choku No. 1”, the final length of intact coleoptiles of totally etiolated seedlings was approximately twice as long as that of those grown under continuous red light. The fluence response curve of the latter was biphasic; the low-energy effect was saturated by red light of ca. 50 J m−2 which gave rise to about 40% of the maximum inhibition by continuous irradiation with red light of 1.2 W m−2, whereas the high-energy effect was induced by irradiation for 1 hr or longer. Coleoptiles of 3-day-old seedlings were most sensitive to light causing the low-energy effect, which was repeatedly red/far-red reversible. The growth inhibition was correlated to the photometrically measured percentage of Pfr so that the maximum effect was induced by red light of 50 J m−2 which transformed 70% of phytochrome to Pfr in the coleoptile tip. Wavelength dependence of the high-energy effect showed that monochromatic light of 400, 600 and 650 nm greatly inhibited the coleoptile growth, whereas light of 700 and 750 nm promoted it instead. The effect was also induced by intermittent irradiation with red light, and the more frequently the intermittent treatment was given, the more the growth was inhibited.  相似文献

  • 1 In 4-day-old etiolated rice seedlings, 3 mm of the coleoptile tip did mainly perceive the photostimulus to cause the phytochrome-dependent inhibition of coleoptile elongation. At this age, cell elongation occurred most in the middle portion of coleoptiles in the dark, and was reversibly controlled by a brief exposure of the tip to red and far-red light. Thus, the photoperceptive site was evidently separated from the growing zone in intact rice coleoptiles.
  • 2 The red-light-induced inhibition of coleoptile elongation was nullified by the removal of tip followed by the exogenous application of IAA. The sensitivity of thus treated coleoptiles to IAA was gradually lost during intervening darkness between the irradiation and the decapitation, and a 50% loss was obtained at ca. 6th hour at 26°C.
  • 3 Polar auxin transport from coleoptile tips was remarkably prevented at the period between, at least, 2nd and 4th hour after red irradiation, and it recovered to the level of dark control by the 6th hour. Far-red light given immediately after red irradiation reversed the yield of diffusible auxin up to that of far-red control.

Excised apical segments of etiolated rice (Oryza sativa L.) coleoptiles produced ethylene. Increasing the number of cut sites per coleoptile increased the rate of ethylene formation. Ethylene produced by an etiolated-intact seedling in the dark was about a half of that by the excised coleoptile segment. Red light of low energy as well as of continuous irradiation inhibited the production of ethylene. The inhibition by a low energy dose of red light was partly relieved, if the red light was followed immediately by a small dose of far red light. The effect of red and far red light was repeatedly reversible, indicating that ethylene production was regulated by a phytochrome system. If the exposure to far red light was preceded by a period of darkness, this photoreversibility disappeared; 50% of the initial reversibility was lost within 5 hours. Applied ethylene (10 microliters per liter) significantly promoted the growth of intact coleoptiles of either totally etiolated or red light-treated seedlings, but had no effect on the excised apical segment of coleoptile.  相似文献

  1. Spores of the fern Pteris vittata did not germinate under totaldark conditions, while an exposure of the spores to continuouswhite light brought about germination. The germination was mosteffectively induced by red light and somewhat by green and far-red,but not at all by blue light. The sensitivity of spores to redlight increased and leveled off about 4 days after sowing at27–28. The promoting effect of red light could be broughtabout by a single exposure of low intensity. Far-red light givenimmediately after red light almost completely reversed the redlight effect, and the photoresponse to red and far-red lightwas repeatedly reversible. The photoreversibility was lost duringan intervening darkness between red and far-red irradiations,and 50% of the initial reversibility was lost after about 6hr of darkness at 27–28. These observations suggest thatthe phytochrome system controls the germination of the fernspore.
  2. When the imbibed spores were briefly exposed to a low-energyblue light immediately before or after red irradiation, theirgermination was completely inhibited. The blue light-inducedinhibition was never reversed by brief red irradiation givenimmediately after the blue light. The escape reaction of redlight-induced germination as indicated by blue light given aftervarious periods of intervening darkness was also observed, andits rate was very similar to that determined by using far-redlight. Spores exposed to blue light required 3 days' incubationin darkness at 27–28 to recover their sensitivity tored light. The recovery in darkness of this red sensitivitywas temperature-dependent. It is thus suggested that an unknownbluelight absorbing pigment may be involved in the inhibitionof phytochrome-mediated spore germination.

−2 . The inductive effect of 100 Jm−2 red light could be partially reversed by subsequent far-red light only one time. On the other hand, the inductive effect of 1,000 Jm−2 red light was partially reversed by subsequent far-red light irradiation at least twice. These results indicate the involvement of phytochrome in this response. The inductive effect of blue light was repeatedly reversed by subsequent far-red light irradiation, suggesting that the blue-light induction was mainly mediated by phytochrome.

Apical growth of individual protonemata in Adiantum capillus-veneris was microphotographically observed before, during and after light treatment. When single-celled protonemata precultured under continuous red light were transferred to darkness, the apical growth continued for the next 24 hr at a rate somewhat slower than that under continuous red light, but the rate significantly decreased thereafter and growth ceased within 72 hr in the dark. The growth in the dark was strongly inhibited by a brief irradiation with far-red light given immediately before the dark period, and the effect of far-red light was fully reversed by subsequent red light. This reversibility was repeatedly observed, suggesting the involvement of a phytochrome system.
The intracellular localization of the phytochrome system in the protonemata was studied, using a narrow-beam irradiator. The results showed that the photoreceptive sites of far-red light are not localized in any particular region of the cell.  相似文献

The effects of red, far-red, and blue light on the geotropicresponse of excised coleoptiles of Zea mays have been investigated.Seedlings were grown in darkness for 5 or 6 days, exposed tovarious light treatments, and then returned to darkness fordetermination of the geotropic response. The rate of response of the coleoptiles is decreased after theyhave been exposed to red light (620–700 mµ, 560ergs cm–2sec–1 for the 24 hrs, but not for the 4hrs, preceding stimulation by gravity. Furthermore, their rateof response is greatly reduced if they are exposed to red lightfor 10 min and then returned to darkness for 20 hrs before geotropicstimulation. At 25° C an interval of 6 to 8 hrs elapses between a 10-minexposure to red light and the first detectable decrease in thegeotropic response of the coleoptile. This interval can be lengthenedby exposing the seedlings to low temperatures (0° to 2°C) after the light treatment but cannot be greatly shortenedby increasing the duration of exposure to red light. Using a standard procedure of exposing 5-day-old etiolated seedlingsto light for various times, replacing them in darkness for 20hrs and then determining the response of the coleoptiles to4 hrs geotropic stimulation, it has been found that: (a) Exposureto red light for 15 sec significantly decreases the geotropiccurvature of the coleoptiles and that further reduction occurson increasing the length of the light treatment to 2 and 5 min.(b) Far-red light has no effect on the geotropic response ofthe coleoptiles but it can completely reverse the effect ofred light. After repeated alternate exposure to red and far-redlight the geotropic response of the coleoptile is determinedby the nature of the last exposure, (c) Complete reversal ofthe effect of red light by far-red radiation only occurs whenexposure to far-red follows immediately after exposure to red.The reversing effect of far-red radiation is reduced if a periodof darkness intervenes between the red and far-red light treatments,and is lost after a dark interval of approximately 2 hrs. The effect of red light on the rate of geotropic response ofthe coleoptiles is independent of their age and length at thetime of excision. Blue light acts in a similar way to red light, but the seedlingsare less sensitive to blue than to red light. Coleoptiles grown throughout in a mixture of continuous, weak,red, and far-red light have a lower rate of geotropic responsethan etiolated coleoptiles.  相似文献

Coleoptile growth of intact rice seedlings under submerged conditionswas not much affected by the continuous irradiation of red light.But, if aerated, growth was strongly inhibited by a low-energybrief irradiation of red light, and this red light-induced effectwas reversed by a brief exposure to far-red light. The responsesto red and far-red light were repeatedly reversible. The amountof photometrically detectable phytochrome in non-aerated coleoptiletissues was found to be as low as one third that in aeratedones. After the conversion of Pr to Pfr by a brief red irradiation,the total (A) of the aerated tissues decreased to about onefifth that of the original level within 6 hr at 24?C, whilethe Pfr in the non-aerated tissues was significantly less decayed. 1Present address: The Ocean Research Institute, University ofTokyo, Nakano, Tokyo 164, Japan.

The growth of rice seedlings (Oryza satira L.) in the presence of ethylene caused a change in the response to light of coleoptile elongation. In plants grown in air without added ethylene coleoptile elongation was promoted by red, far-red and yellow-green light only in very young seedlings; in older plants irradiation inhibited the growth of the coleoptile. The effect of growing plants in the presence of ethylene was to prolong the period during which light promoted coleoptile growth. Elongation of the first internode was inhibited by light whether or not the seedlings were grown in the presence of ethylene. A correlation existed between the growth effect of an irradiation and the initial decay rate of phytochrome which was established by the treatment. Regardless of wave length, light sources whose intensities were adjusted to produce a decay rate of about 10% per hour or less induced a moderate rate of coleoptile elongation which persisted for a relatively long period. Irradiation with red or yellow-green light of higher intensity which produced a higher rate of phytochrome decay induced a higher rate of coleoptile elongation, but growth stopped after several hours. Other observations, however, showed that one cannot establish a general simple correlation between the rate of elongation of rice coleoptiles under light and the status of measurable phytochrome in the plant.  相似文献

The far-red reversibility of the phytochrome-controlled stimulation of elongation of coleoptile sections by low fluence red light has been characterized in subapical coleoptile sections from dark-grown Avena sativa L., cv Lodi seedlings. The fluence dependence of the far-red reversal was the same whether or not the very low fluence response is also expressed. The capacity of far-red light to reverse the red light-induced response began to decline if the far-red light was given more than 90 minutes after the red irradiation. Escape was complete if the far red irradiation was given more than 240 minutes after the red irradiation. Sections consisting of both mesocotyl and coleoptile tissue from dark-grown Avena seedlings were found to have physiological regulation of the very low fluence response by indole 3-acetic acid and low external pH similar to that seen for sections consisting entirely of coleoptile tissue. The fluence-dependence of the red light-induced inhibition of mesocotyl elongation was studied in mesocotyl sections from dark grown Zea mays L. hybrid T-929 seedlings. Ten micromolar indole 3-acetic acid stimulates the control elongation of the sections, while at the same time increasing the sensitivity of the tissue for the light-induced inhibition of growth by a factor of 100.  相似文献

In photoresponses regulated by phytochrome the effect of a red irradiation is not always reversed by far-red. This applies for instance to the influence of red light on the geotropic reactions of Avena coleoptiles. We could induce red/far-red reversibility by a short de-etiolating exposure to red light about 20 h prior to the experimental irradiations. This, was due to a decrease of the sensitivity to the low level of the far-red absorbing form of phytochrome that is established by far-red. Since etiolated plants react also to a wavelength of 520 nm (green light), it is advisable to expose the coleoptiles to a de-etiolating irradiation prior to manipulations in green safelight in order to prevent the plants from reacting to the green light.  相似文献

The length of parenchyma cells along the axis of dark-grown coleoptiles of Triticum aestivum L. and the pattern of competence for red-light-(R-) induced stimulation or inhibition of cell elongation in the course of coleoptile development were determined by microscopic measurements in a file of 240 cells from the tip to the base. On the basis of these measurements distinct zones (responding in different ways to R) were selected for studying the early time course of phytochrome-mediated growth-rate changes in intact coleoptiles by use of a sensitive transducer system. Between 2 d and 4 d after sowing dark-grown coleoptiles showed a graded incline in cell growth activity from the apex to the base (growth gradient). Whereas cell elongation in the coleoptile base ceased 4 d after sowing, cell elongation speeded up in the tip and middle region at that time. Those cells that grew slowly in darkness (tip and middle region between 2d and 3 d after sowing) were stimulated in growth by R-pulse irradiation (1 min R, 660 nm, 1000 J · m–2). In contrast, the growth of fast-growing cells (base between 2 d and 4 d after sowing, tip and middle region between 4 d and 5 d after sowing) was inhibited by R. However, the starting time for R-induced growth changes was different for different coleoptile zones. The respective data point to the storage of a phytochrome-mediated signal in the cells of the middle region, until these cells become competent to respond to it; alternatively, Pfr, the far-red-light-absorbing form of phytochrome, may be stored in a stable form. Continuous recordings on the effect of R, far-red (FR) and R/FR on the zonal growth responses were made on intact coleoptiles, selected 3 d after sowing. During a 5-h investigation period the R-induced changes in growth rate could be divided into two phases: (i) A transient growth inhibition which started approx. 15 min after R. This response was qualitatively the same in all coleoptile zones investigated (tip, middle region, base). (ii) Zonal-specific growth responses which became measurable approx. 2.5 h after R, i.e. growth promotion in the tip, growth inhibition in the base and an adaptation of growth rate to the dark control level in the middle region. The R-induced growth rate changes were reversible by FR for both phases. Additional growth experiments on excised coleoptile segments under R and auxin application indicated that the zonal-specific growth promotion or inhibition may be not mediated by an influence of R on the auxin level.Abbreviations FR far-red light - Pfr far-red-light-absorbing form of phytochrome - R red light The technical assistance of Mrs. B.

Summary In-vivo phytochrome determinations in totally etiolated rice seedlings with a dual-wavelength spectrophotometer showed that on a fresh weight basis phytochrome concentration was highest in the coleoptile apex (0.175 of mean) ( O.D.) g-1 (fresh weight). The age of the seedlings had little effect on the pattern of phytochrome distribution in the coleoptiles.The extent of growth inhibition observed 2 days after the irradiations was proportional to the logarithm of P fr amount in the coleoptiles at the time of initial exposure to either red or blue light. Ultraviolet irradiation, however, did not induce either reversible growth inhibition or optically detectable phytochrome changes in vivo.After the conversion of P r to P fr bya brief red irradiation, non-photochemical transformation of phytochrome was observed in intact coleoptile tissues. Most of the optically measurable P fr disappeared within 6 hours at 27°, when the total ( O.D.) decreased to about one fifth of the original level. The optical data did not agree with the fact that 50% of the initial physiological reversibility was still observed 9 hours later. No significant difference in dark transformation rate was seen between intact and excised coleoptile tissues.Abbreviations P r red light absorbing form of phytochrome - P fr far-red light absorbing form of phytochrome - ( O.D.) the change in the optical density difference reading at two wavelengths, following irradiation of the sample with actinic sources of red and far-red light - UV ultraviolet light  相似文献

d -Glucan contents and (1→3),(1→4)-β-d-glucan hydrolase activity increased in the faster phase of coleoptile growth, then declined under both light and dark conditions. The relative glucan content in the cell wall showed a good correlation with the increment of coleoptile length. Strong correlations were also observed among the increment of coleoptile length, the decrease in the level of the glucans, and the relative activity of the glucanase in the cell wall of light- and dark-grown coleoptiles except for those values in the early stage of coleoptile growth, supporting a hypothesis that the turnover of the glucans is one of the important factors which regulate rice coleoptile growth. The levels of the glucans and the glucanase activity were always lower in the cell wall of coleoptiles grown in the light than those in darkness during the experimental period. These results suggest that light irradiation inhibits both the synthesis and the breakdown of the glucans, causing a decrease in the capacity of the cell wall to extend, thereby inducing growth suppression in rice coleoptiles.

Photoblastic seeds (achenes) of Taraxacum vulgare coll. were treated with a water solution of SAN 9789, 4-chloro-5 (methylamino) -2- (α,α,α-trifluoro- m -tolyl) -3(2H) pyridazinone. SAN-treatment increased the germination in darkness from 0 to 12%. An irradiation for 5 min with red light, giving a germination of 12% for seeds in water only, gave together with SAN treatment a germination of 60%. In both water and SAN, the effect of red irradiation could be reversed by a short irradiation (15 min) of far-red light. If far-red light was repeatedly given (5 min per h) it had hardly any effect on germination in water (4% germination), but for seeds in SAN solution, intermittent far-red light had a stimulating effect (63% germination). If far-red light was given continuously for 96 h, the germination in water was 1% and in SAN solution 17%. The results in the present paper indicate that SAN may broaden the concentration interval of Pfr for which germination is high.  相似文献

In non-growing two-celled protonemata of Adiantum capillus-veneris,apical growth was induced most effectively by red light irradiation;half of the samples were induced to grow by 660 nm light ofca. 1.5 J m–2 and the maximum number by ca. 70 J m–2.The reciprocity law was valid in this photoinduction. The growthresumption became detectable 6 hr after the light irradiationand reached a plateau within 24 hr irrespective of given fluences.When non-growing samples were irradiated with red light of 4.6W m–2 for 4 sec or shorter, the effect was fully reversedby a subsequent irradiation with far-red light to the far-redlight control level. But, when the red light was given for 16sec or longer, photoreversibility became partial. An interveningdark period of 2 min between red and far-red light did not significantlyinfluence the photoreversibility so that the escape reactionin the dark may not be attributed to the above-mentioned lossof photoreversibility. By means of a local irradiation with a narrow red light beam(10 µm in width), the apical cell was found to be photosensitivefor the growth induction, but basal cell was not. Photoreceptivesite was not localized in any particular region of the apicalcell, but was rather dispersed in the entire apical cell. (Received January 26, 1981; Accepted March 10, 1981)  相似文献

Continuous recordings of the effect of red light on intact darkgrown wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Hatri) weremade at different times after sowing. When the coleoptile tipregion was irradiated 50, 70 or 90 h after sowing with red lightfrom two opposite fibre bundles a decrease in extension ratewas detectable after a latent period of 10 to 15 min. Growthrate reached a fluence dependent minimum at about 60 min, afterwhich growth acceleration towards the dark control rate wasobserved. When continuous red irradiation was started 50 or70 h after sowing the dark control rate was reached 2.5 h afteronset of irradiation and growth rate was little above this levelduring the next 2 h. With older coleoptiles (90 h after sowing)the growth rate recovery was only up to 50% of the dark controlrate and a second phase in growth inhibition became detectableabout 2.5 h after onset of red exposure, characterized by acontinuous decrease in extension rate. Under R/FR pulse irradiationboth the red-light-induced transient growth inhibition and thesecond phase of growth inhibition exhibit far-red reversibilityup to the level of far-red induced growth rate changes.

The final lengths of intact dark-grown coleoptiles vary with species and cultivar. The growth distribution pattern in the apical 25-mm growing zone and the absolute amount of growth in each zone depend on the age and species of the coleoptile. A comparative study of several cultivars of wheat, Triticum vulgare, and barley, Hordeum vulgare, indicates that the growth distribution pattern in 30- to 38-mm coleoptiles varies with the species and cultivar. In barley, there are two patterns of growth distribution among the several cultivars, whereas in wheat, all cultivars exhibit a common zonal growth pattern. The total growth of coleoptiles, initially 30 to 38 mm in length, during a 24-hour dark incubation period is the same in dark-grown coleoptiles as in those irradiated with 3 minutes of red (660 nm) light prior to the incubation period. The growth distribution pattern in the growing zone of this 30- to 38-mm coleoptile is, however, altered by red light. Growth of the apical 5-mm zone is stimulated by red light and the zonal growth 5 to 10 mm below the apex is only slightly affected, whereas growth in the zones 10 to 15 to 20, and 20 to 25 mm below the apex is inhibited. This growth distribution pattern in irradiated coleoptiles changes as the coleoptile increases in length. The response of a zone following exposure to red light is dependent upon the age of the seedlings irradiated. The over-all effect of red light on growth of the intact coleoptile varies with the length of the coleoptile. In young seedling 20 to 29 mm in length, the cells of the coleoptile can compensate for the effects of red light, with the over-all growth of the dark-grown and irradiated coleoptile about the same. As the seedling grows older, the cells of the coleoptile can no longer make up for the effects of red light, and the over-all effect changes from compensation to pronounced inhibition.  相似文献

Phytochrome in the far-red light absorbing form (Pfr) was observed to disappear in vivo more rapidly from the non-cation-requiring pelletable phytochrome population than from the supernantant phytochrome population of oat seedlings given an increasing dark incubation after red irradiation. The amount of pelletable phytochrome in the red light absorbing form (Pr) remained relatively stable while supernatant Pr was lost. These observations indicated that supernant Pfr was subject to loss during the incubation, while pelletable Pfr was subject to both dark reversion and loss.During the incubation, the ability of far-red irradiation to reverse the red-induced increase in phytochrome pelletability was lost, with kinetics similar to those of the loss of pelletable Pfr.Far-red reversibility of the red-induced increase in coleoptile elongation correlated with the change intotal Pfr in both supernatant and pelletable phytochrome populations, but with the change in the ratio of Pfr to total phytochrome only in the pelletable phytochrome population.The possible significance of these results is discussed with reference to the action of phytochrome in the photocontrol of physiological growth responses.Abbreviations Pfr phytochrome in the far-red light absorbing form - Pr phytochrome in the red absorbing form - Ptot total phytochrome  相似文献
