Optimum temperature and temperature coefficient of protein synthesis in young wheat plants exhibit phenotypical temperature adaptation. In plants grown for 2 days at either chilling (4 C), medium (20 C), or high (36 C) temperature the respective values are: 27 C and 14.2 kilocalories per mole, 31 C and 18.2 kilocalories per mole, 35 C and 23.6 kilocalories per mole, based on in vivo [14C]leucine incorporation into total protein. The validity of the [14C]leucine incubation method has been confirmed by double-labeling experiments. Readaptation time curves are complex: the optimum temperature parameter readjusts within approximately 4 hours to an altered temperature regime, whereas the temperature coefficient needs between 4 and 96 hours for complete readaptation—depending on the temperature conditions prior to the temperature shift. Heat-preadapted plants need a recovery period at medium temperature to regain their cold adaptability with respect to optimum temperature. Cycloheximide (30 micrograms per milliliter) reduces [14C]leucine incorporation into protein by 85%, thus indicating that predominantly the cytoplasmic 80S system of protein synthesis is involved in temperature adaptation. 相似文献

The rate of incorporation of leucine into protein, the rate of polypeptide elongation and termination, and the relative quantity and size of polysomes were analyzed in mouse L cells grown in suspension culture at various temperatures between 0 degrees C and 36 degrees C. Between 10 degrees C and 36 degrees C protein synthesis exhibited two different apparent activation energies (39 kcal/mole, 10-25 degrees C; 14 kcal/mole, 25-36 degrees C), whereas elongation and termination had only one (16 kcal/mole). Below 36 degrees C, the polysome level and size decreased, reaching a minimum of 30% of the control 36 degrees C values at 10 degrees C; below 10 degrees C the level increased again back to control values at 0 degrees C. The polysome decline was time dependent, requiring about 5 hr to reach the equilibrium value. This decline is completely reversible within 60 min, even in the presence of 4 mug/ml of actinomycin D, and even after 15 hr of incubation at the lower temperature. The results suggest that polypeptide initiation is rate limiting, particularly below 25 degrees C; whereas above this temperature, elongation or perhaps some other process may be limiting. These results are quite different from those obtained for E. coli and rabbit reticulocyte protein synthesis. 相似文献

Acclimation of chlorophyll biosynthetic reactions to temperature stress in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The adaptive responses of the greening process of plants to temperature stress were studied in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Poinsette) seedlings grown at ambient (25 °C), low (7 °C) and high (42 °C) temperatures. Plastids isolated from these
seedlings were incubated at different temperatures and the net syntheses of various tetrapyrroles were monitored. In plastids
isolated from control seedlings grown at 25 °C, the optimum temperature for synthesis of Mg-protoporphyrin IX monoester or
protochlorophyllide was 35 °C. Temperature maxima for Mg-protoporphyrin IX monoester and protochlorophyllide syntheses were
shifted to 30 °C in chill-stressed seedlings. The net synthesis of total tetrapyrroles was severely reduced in heat-stressed
seedlings and the optimum temperature for Mg-protoporphyrin IX monoester or protochlorophyllide synthesis shifted slightly
towards higher temperatures, i.e. a broader peak was observed. To further study the temperature acclimation of seedlings with
respect to the greening process, tetrapyrrole biosynthesis was monitored at 25 °C after pre-heating the plastids (28–70 °C)
isolated from control, chill- and heat-stressed seedlings. In comparison to 28 °C-pre-heated plastids the percent inhibition
of protochlorophyllide synthesis in 40 °C-pre-heated plastids was higher than for the control (25 °C-grown) in chill-stressed
seedlings and lower than for the control in heat-stressed seedlings. Maximum synthesis of total tetrapyrroles and protoporphyrin
IX was observed when chloroplasts were heated at 50 °C, which was probably due to heat-induced activation of the enzymes involved
in protoporphyrin IX synthesis. Prominent shoulders towards lower or higher temperatures were seen in chill-stressed or heat-stressed
seedlings, respectively. The shift in optimum temperature for tetrapyrrole biosynthesis in chill- and heat-stressed seedlings
was probably due to acclimation of membranes possibly undergoing desaturation or saturation of membrane lipids. Proteins synthesized
in response to temperature-stress may also play an important role in conferring stress-tolerance in plants.

The daily course of photosynthesis at low temperatures in 2 coniferous species, Pinus ponderosa Laws., and Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco, were studied using controlled environment facilities. After having been grown at a 23° day, and 19° night for a year, seedlings were acclimatized for 4 months to either a 3°, 7° or 11° day all under 1200 ft-c of light and followed by a 16-hour night at 3°. Measurement of photosynthesis at 1200 ft-c revealed 3 separate responses. First, the rapidity at which the plants attained their maximum photosynthesis when the lights were turned on depended upon the species, the current temperature, and the previous temperature condition to which the plants had become acclimatized. The warmer the day temperature the sooner the daily maximum was reached. Second, fluctuations in the rate of photosynthesis during the day varied with the species and the day temperature. Photosynthesis in both fir and pine kept at an 11° day and pines kept at a 7° day attained a daily peak rate followed by a decline. This decline occurred even though temperature and light were kept constant, the CO2 level was returned to 320 ppm from 290 ppm, and the plants were kept well watered. At a 3° day neither species showed this decline. Third, a plant transferred to another temperature acquired a new stable daily photosynthetic pattern. The number of days required for stabilization depended upon the previous temperature history of the plant. The adjustment rate was faster when the temperature was raised than when it was lowered. 相似文献

Etiolated Avena sativa L. seedlings grown in the presence of gabaculine (5-amino-1,3-cyclohexadienylcarboxylic acid) contained reduced levels of phytochrome as shown by spectrophotometric and immunochemical assays. Photochromic phytochrome levels in gabaculine-grown plants were estimated to be 20% of control plants, while immunoblot analysis showed that the phytochrome protein moiety was present at approximately 50% of control levels. Gabaculine-grown seedlings administered either 5-aminolevulinic acid or biliverdin exhibited a rapid increase of spectrophotometrically detectable phytochrome. Phytochrome concentrations estimated immunochemically did not similarly increase throughout treatment with either compound. Similar experiments with 5-amino[4-14C] levulinic acid showed radiolabeling of phytochrome with kinetics that paralleled the spectrally detected increase. These results are consistent with (a) the intermediacy of both 5-aminolevulinic acid and biliverdin in the biosynthetic pathway of the phytochrome chromophore and (b) the lack of coordinate regulation of chromophore and apoprotein synthesis in Avena seedlings. 相似文献

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L. cv Bloomsdale) seedlings cultured in vitro were used to study changes in protein synthesis during cold acclimation. Seedlings grown for 3 weeks postsowing on an inorganic-nutrient-agar medium were able to increase their freezing tolerance when grown at 5°C. During cold acclimation at 5°C and deacclimation at 25°C, the kinetics of freezing tolerance induction and loss were similar to that of soil-grown plants. Freezing tolerance increased after 1 day of cold acclimation and reached a maximum within 7 days. Upon deacclimation at 25°C, freezing tolerance declined within 1 day and was largely lost by the 7th day. Leaf proteins of intact plants grown at 5 and 25°C were in vivo radiolabeled, without wounding or injury, to high specific activities with [35S]methionine. Leaf proteins were radiolabeled at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 14 days of cold acclimation and at 1, 3, and 7 days of deacclimation. Up to 500 labeled proteins were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and visualized by fluorography. A rapid and stable change in the protein synthesis pattern was observed when seedlings were transferred to the low temperature environment. Cold-acclimated leaves contained 22 polypeptides not found in nonacclimated leaves. Exposure to 5°C induced the synthesis of three high molecular weight cold acclimation proteins (CAPs) (Mr of about 160,000, 117,000, and 85,000) and greatly increased the synthesis of a fourth high molecular weight protein (Mr 79,000). These proteins were synthesized during day 1 and throughout the 14 day exposure to 5°C. During deacclimation, the synthesis of CAPs 160, 117, and 85 was greatly reduced by the first day of exposure to 25°C. However, CAP 79 was synthesized throughout the 7 day deacclimation treatment. Thus, the induction at low temperature and termination at warm temperature of the synthesis of CAPs 160, 117, and 85 was highly correlated with the induction and loss of freezing tolerance. Cold acclimation did not result in a general posttranslational modification of leaf proteins. Most of the observed changes in the two-dimensional gel patterns could be attributed to the de novo synthesis of proteins induced by low temperature. In spinach leaf tissue, heat shock altered the pattern of protein synthesis and induced the synthesis of several heat shock proteins (HSPs). One polypeptide synthesized in cold-acclimated leaves had a molecular weight and net charge (Mr 79,000, pI 4.8) similar to that of a HSP (Mr 83,000, pI 4.8). However, heat shock did not increase the freezing tolerance, and cold acclimation did not increase heat tolerance over that of nonacclimated plants, but heat-shocked leaf tissue was more tolerant to high temperatures than nonacclimated or cold-acclimated leaf tissue. When protein extracts from heat-shocked and cold-acclimated leaves were mixed and separated in the same two-dimensional gel, the CAP and HSP were shown to be two separate polypeptides with slightly different isoelectric points and molecular weights. 相似文献

The translational efficiency of wheat ribosomes was studied as a function of an in vivo temperature pretreatment of wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum L.). Ribosomes were isolated from heat-pretreated (36°C) and reference (4°C, 20°C) wheat seedlings. The efficiency of the ribosomes in translating polyuridylic acid was assayed. Ribosomes from heat-pretreated seedlings exhibit a threefold enhanced incorporation rate of phenylalanine as compared to ribosomes from wheat seedlings adapted to 20 or 4°C. This difference develops within 24 hours after onset of the heat treatment of seedlings following a 3 hour lag phase. The temperature induced changes can be traced back to the cytoplasmic ribosomes, since cycloheximide inhibits translation almost completely. Thermal inactivation of ribosomes occurs at 45°C, irrespective of the temperature pretreatment of the wheat seedlings. Specific differences in the yield of ribosomes, in the polyribosomal profiles, and in the apparent Arrhenius' activation energy of protein synthesis were observed depending on the age and the temperature pretreatments. The results presented here are considered an important molecular correlation to phenotypical temperature adaptation of in vivo protein synthesis in wheat (M Weidner, C Mathée, FK Schmitz 1982 Plant Physiol 69: 1281-1288). 相似文献

Lateral roots of intact summer squash seedlings (Cucurbita pepo L.) were used to quantify the effects of boron deficiency on DNA synthesis, protein synthesis, and respiration. The temporal relationship between changes in these metabolic activities and the cessation of root elongation caused by boron deprivation was determined. Transferring 5-day-old squash seedlings to a hydroponic culture medium without boron for 6 hours resulted in a 62% reduction in net root elongation and a 30% decrease in the incorporation of [3H]thymidine into DNA by root tips (apical 5-millimeter segments). At this time, root tips from both boron-deficient and boron-sufficient plants exhibited nearly identical rates of incorporation of [14C]leucine into protein and respiration as measured by O2 consumption. After an additional 6 hours of boron deprivation, root elongation had nearly ceased. Concomitantly, DNA synthesis in root apices was 66% less than in the boron-sufficient control plants and protein synthesis was reduced 43%. O2 consumption remained the same for both treatments. The decline and eventual cessation of root elongation correlated temporally with the decrease in DNA synthesis, but preceded changes in protein synthesis and respiration. These results suggest that boron is required for continued DNA synthesis and cell division in root meristems. 相似文献

Relative nuclear DNA contents in cortex parenchyma cells in root segments of 3- and 7-d-old soybean seedlings grown at 25
°C and in plants grown for 3 d at 25 °C, and then for 4 d at 10 °C, were determined with cytophotometry. Measurements revealed
that in each variant the cortex cell nuclei with DNA content between 2C and 8C were in all the examined segments and nuclei
with 8C – 16C DNA appeared in higher parts of roots. However, in chilled plant cells the number of 8C – 16C DNA nuclei was
very low. Therefore, chilling inhibited endoreplication in comparison with plants grown at 25 °C for 7 d, and even reduced
endopolyploidy level as compared to the initial seedlings, i.e. 3-d-old plants. DNA contents in root hairs grown at 25 °C (control) and in root hairs emerged at 10 °C were also determined.
In controls 4C – 8C DNA nuclei predominated while in chilled plants an additional population of 2C – 4C DNA appeared. Thus
a reduction of DNA synthesis was brought about by low temperature. The occurrence of an intermediate DNA contents besides
those with full endoreplication cycles suggests the possibility of differential DNA replication. This suggestion seems to
be supported by the lack of 3H-thymidine incorporation into root hair nuclei at the examined developmental stage both in control and chilled root hairs.
The same number, but larger, chromocentric lumps in polyploid cortex cell nuclei of higher root zones, in comparison to meristematic
nuclei, suggests that endoreduplication process occurred.

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) seedlings, grown in soil or on an agar medium in vitro, became cold acclimated when exposed to a constant 5°C. Plants subjected to cold acclimation, beginning 1 week postgermination, attained freezing tolerance levels similar to that achieved by seedlings that were cold acclimated beginning 3 weeks after sowing. Seedlings at 1 week of age had only cotyledonary leaves, while 3-week-old seedlings had developed true leaves. Plants grown in vitro were able to increase in freezing tolerance, but were slightly less hardy than soil-grown plants. These results suggest that spinach, a cool-season crop that begins growth in early spring when subzero temperatures are likely, can undergo cold acclimation at the earliest stages of development following germination. Axenic seedlings, grown in vitro, were used to develop a noninjurious radiolabeling technique. Leaf proteins were radiolabeled to specific activities of 105 counts per minute per microgram at 25°C or 5 × 104 counts per minute per microgram at 5°C over a 24 hour period. The ability to radiolabel leaf proteins of in vitro grown plants to high specific activities at low temperature, without injury or microbial contamination, will facilitate studies of cold acclimation. 相似文献

This study examined temperature acclimation, growth, and photosynthetic characteristics of the zygote-derived seedlings of Hizikia fusiformis (Harvey) Okamura (Sargassaceae). The seedlings were cultured at 15°C or 25°C for 4 weeks. The average relative growth rate was significantly higher in seedlings acclimated at 25°C. The photosynthetic rate measured at 15°C was much higher in seedlings grown at 15°C than those grown at 25°C, indicating photosynthetic acclimation to a lower temperature. At 35°C, the photosynthetic rate of 15°C-grown seedlings was drastically decreased, whereas that of 25°C-grown seedlings was significantly increased. The maximum relative electron transport rate (rETRmax) measured at the respective growth temperature was significantly higher in seedlings grown at 25°C than at 15°C. At a measuring temperature of 35°C, the rETRmax in both 15°C- and 25°C-grown seedlings were considerably reduced with regard to those measured at 15°C or 25°C. Our results suggested that, compared with the seedlings grown at 25°C, those acclimated at a lower temperature could be disadvantaged under adverse conditions such as increased temperatures. 相似文献

The present study is aimed at assessing the extent of arsenic (As) toxicity under three different light intensities—optimum (400 μmole photon m?2 s?1), sub-optimum (225 μmole photon m?2 s?1), and low (75 μmole photon m?2 s?1)—exposed to Helianthus annuus L. var. DRSF-113 seedlings by examining various physiological and biochemical parameters. Irrespective of the light intensities under which H. annuus L. seedlings were grown, there was an As dose (low, i.e., 6 mg kg?1 soil, As1; and high, i.e., 12 mg kg?1 soil, As2)-dependent decrease in all the growth parameters, viz., fresh mass, shoot length, and root length. Optimum light-grown seedlings exhibited better growth performance than the sub-optimum and low light-grown seedlings; however, low light-grown plants had maximum root and shoot lengths. Accumulation of As in the plant tissues depended upon its concentration used, proximity of the plant tissue, and intensity of the light. Greater intensity of light allowed greater assimilation of photosynthates accompanied by more uptake of nutrients along with As from the medium. The levels of chlorophyll a, b, and carotenoids declined with increasing concentrations of As. Seedlings acquired maximum Chl a and b under optimum light which were more compatible to face As1 and As2 doses of As, also evident from the overall status of enzymatic (SOD, POD, CAT, and GST) and non-enzymatic antioxidant (Pro). 相似文献

The synthesis, transport and localization of a nuclear coded 22-kd heat-shock protein (HSP) in the chloroplast membranes was studied in pea plants and Chlamydomonas reinhardi. HSPs were detected in both systems by in vivo labeling and in vitro translation of poly(A)+RNA, using the wheat-germ and reticulocyte lysate systems. Heat-shock treatment of pea plants for 2 h at 42-45°C induces the expression of ˜10 nuclear coded proteins, among which several (18 kd, 19 kd, 22 kd) are predominant. A 22-kd protein is synthesized as a 26-kd precursor protein and is localized in a chloroplast membrane fraction in vivo. Following post-translational transport into intact chloroplasts in vitro of the 26-kd precursor, the protein is processed but the resulting 22-kd mature protein is localized in the chloroplast stroma. If, however, the in vitro transport is carried out with chloroplasts from heat-shocked plants, the 22-kd protein is preferentially transported to the chloroplast membrane fraction. In C. reinhardi the synthesis of poly(A)+RNAs coding for several HSPs is progressively and sequentially induced when raising the temperature for 1.5 h from 36°C to 42°C, while that of several preexisting RNAs is reduced. Various pre-existing poly(A)+RNAs endure in the cells at 42°C up to 5 h but are no longer translated in vivo, whereas some poly(A)−RNAs persist and are translated. As in pea, a poly(A)+RNA coded 22-kd HSP is localized in the chloroplast membranes in vivo, although it is translated as a 22-kd protein in vitro. The in vitro translated protein is not transported in isolated pea chloroplast which, however, processes and transports other nuclear coded chloroplast proteins of Chlamydomonas. The poly(A)+RNA coding for the 22-kd HSP appears after 1 h at 36°C. Its synthesis increases with the temperature of incubation up to 42°C, although it decreases after ˜2 h of heat treatment and the already synthesized RNA is rapidly degraded. The degradation is faster upon return of the cells to 26°C. None of the heat-induced proteins is identical to the light-inducible proteins of the chloroplast membranes. 相似文献

Reproduction of the corn cyst nematode (Heterodera zeae) and its effect on growth of corn (Zea mays) was studied in plant growth chambers at 24, 27, 30, 33, and 36 C. Reproduction of H. zeae increased directly with increase in temperature from 24 to 36 C. Fifteen-cm-d pots of corn seedlings inoculated with a mixture of 5,000 eggs + J2 and maintained for 8 weeks in growth chambers contained an average of 7,042 cysts + females at 36 C, but only 350 cysts + females at 24 C. Fresh weights of plants without nematodes were highest at 27 C and lowest at 36 C. Nematodes suppressed plant fresh weight by an average of 30% at 27 C and by 27% at 33 C but did not suppress plant weight at 36 C. Heterodera zeae has the highest reported temperature optimum for reproduction of any cyst nematode. 相似文献

The influence of temperature on DNA replication of Chlorella pyrenoidosa grown at 30 °C was studied in synchronous cultures. Final DNA content and cell counts/ml were 30 to 40% less than controls after a 4 h exposure to 15 °C, but reached normal levels after being kept temporarily at 10 °C. The rates of DNA synthesis at these two temperatures were, respectively, one-sixth and one-tenth of the rate at 30 °C, but during the 15 °C treatment the cells lost the ability to enter a further replication cycle more rapidly than at 10 °C. This loss of capacity to initiate further replication cycles was prevented by inhibiting protein synthesis with cycloheximide. 相似文献

Candida utilis NCYC 321 was grown in steady-state culture in a chemostat under glucose limitation or NH4+ limitation at temperatures of 30, 25, 20, and 15 C and at dilution rates (equal to growth rates) in the range of 0.35 to 0.05 hr−1. Deoxyribonucleic acid contents of cells grown under the various conditions remained approximately constant, but the contents of several other cell components varied. Over the range of 30 to 15 C, the greatest differences were in the ribonucleic acid (RNA) and protein contents of cells grown under NH4+ limitation, which increased as the temperature was decreased. The contents of other components, particularly adenosine triphosphate in cells grown under glucose limitation, varied more when the cells were grown at different rates at a fixed temperature. Cells grown at a fixed rate under NH4+ limitation increased in volume as the temperature was decreased below 30 C. The increase in volume was closely correlated with increases in the proportions of RNA and protein in the dry weight of cells. Cells grown under glucose limitation showed much smaller increases in volume; these increases were poorly correlated with the increased RNA content and hardly at all with the increased protein content. Increases in volume with a decrease in growth temperature from 30 to 20 C were also demonstrated in cells grown under phosphate limitation and to a much smaller extent in cells grown under glycerol limitation. The increased RNA synthesized at low temperatures by cells grown under NH4+ limitation was found almost exclusively in the 40,000 × g supernatant fluid, but only about 40% of it sedimented at 100,000 × g. Cells grown at a fixed rate under NH4+ limitation synthesized less total carbohydrate when the temperature was decreased from 30 to 15 C. This decrease was mainly in the trichloroacetic acid-soluble fraction (probably trehalose) and in the intracellular hot alkali-soluble glucan (probably glycogen). Cells grown at a fixed rate under glucose limitation showed a small increase in carbohydrate content as the temperature was decreased from 30 to 15 C. 相似文献

Translation of the RNA of LSc type 1 poliovirus was examined in vivo at the restrictive temperature (39 °C). During the first two hours of infection at 39 °C the levels of viral polyribosomes were 50% lower than at 35 °C (permissive temperature). During the third hour of infection at 39 °C, only 4 to 10% of the control levels of polyribosomes were observed. Three experiments indicate that the elongation of viral peptides was not occurring properly at 39 °C. First, cultures incubated at 39 °C during the third hour of infection with both [35S]methionine and [3H]uridine exhibit a fourfold increase in the ratio of viral protein/viral RNA in the polyribosome region of sucrose gradients in comparison to controls kept at 35 °C. However, at both temperatures the relative size distribution of polyribosomes was similar. Second, the ratios of released protein/nascent protein after 90-second and 5-minute pulses with [35S]methionine indicate that elongation of peptide chains was inhibited at 39 °C. Third, when initiation of synthesis of viral protein was blocked with 150 mM-NaCl, the polyribosomes disaggregated four to five times more rapidly at 35 °C than at 39 °C. The data indicate that translation of viral RNA is inhibited at the restrictive temperature because of a reduced rate of elongation of viral proteins. The reduced rate of peptide chain elongation at 39 °C was fully reversible when cultures were shifted to 35 °C in the presence of 150 mm-NaCl. The latter finding indicates a conformational change in viral protein at 39 °C. 相似文献

In a glasshouse study, 54 batches of cabbage seedlings were each grown for 6 wk in clubroot inoculated soil. The batches were sown at weekly intervals during the experiment which lasted 60 wk. Soil temperature and light were monitored throughout the study while other potential variables were maintained as constant as possible. Records of clubroot incidence, severity and plant weights were kept and causal relationships for disease severity and percentage infected plants sought among the light and temperature data by regressions. It was found that clubroot severity was influenced most by the light level in the second and third weeks, while the percentage of diseased plants was most influenced by temperature, that in the second week probably being the most important. The optimum light value in the second and third weeks for expression of maximum clubroot severity was c. 600 Wh m-2 day-1 and a mean daily temperature of not less than c. 19-5 oC was required to give close to 100% infection. Possible reasons for the findings are discussed. 相似文献

In a study of the translational efficiency of ribosomal subunits as a function of an in vivo temperature pretreatment, ribosomes were isolated from heat-pretreated (36°C) and reference (20°C) wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum L.). The efficiency of recombined subunits in translating polyuridylic acid was assessed. A threefold increase in the rate of incorporation of phenylalanine by ribosomes from heat-pretreated plants was due to the large ribosomal subunit. This adaptive temperature effect was not correlated with a higher thermal stability of ribosomes or subunits from heat-pretreated seedlings, and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis failed to detect structural alterations of ribosomal proteins. Phosphorylation of ribosomal proteins in vitro showed no differences between ribosomes or subunits from heat-pretreated and reference plants. Incubation with [32P]orthophosphate in vivo led to twice the amount of phosphate in ribosomal proteins from heat-pretreated wheat seedlings. This result is important with respect to the evaluation of the molecular basis of enhanced translational efficiency of ribosomes isolated from heat-pretreated wheat seedlings. 相似文献

Heating of wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum L.) for 3 h at 41–42°C (heat hardening) increased the thermal stability of nitrate reductase (NR). After transferring hardened plants to normal temperature, the higher level of thermal stability persisted for 6 days. The heat hardening increased the enzyme stability against the proteolytic effect of trypsin and reduced the rate of NR degradation in extracts. Inhibition of the NR synthesis by transferring plants to a nitrate-free medium resulted in a much lower rate of enzyme degradation in the cells of hardened, as compared to unhardened plants. A short-term heating of seedlings (10 min at 36, 40, and 44°C) increased the ability of NR to reactivate after heat damage. The thermal stability of NR increased only in seedlings that had been hardened at 40 and 44°C, whereas hardening at 36°C did not result in enzyme stabilization. It is concluded that heat hardening (hyperthermia) increases NR stability against a number of inactivating factors (heating, proteolysis,in vitroand in vivo enzyme degradation) and enhances its ability to repair damage induced by heating. 相似文献
