Osmotic Adjustment in Lolium perenne; Its Heritability and the Nature of Solute Accumulation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Plants derived from Lolium perenne L. cv. Mellewere selected on the basis of extreme high or low lamina solutepotential (s) and pair-crossed to produce divergent G2 lines.The high and low lines had mean lamina s values significantlydifferent from each other and from Melle, andshowed an enhanced range of phenotypic expression of s duringdrought. Both mature lamina s and meristem s values of droughtedplants were highly heritable. Extreme G2 genotypes were selectedand clonally replicated for further study. During drought mean 2 values fell from 1·21 to1·80 MPa. Fructans of large molecular weight,and total free amino acids, especially proline, all accumulatedwhen estimated on a dry-matter (DM) or plant-water (PW) basis.Oligosaccharide content was largely unchanged. Minerals declinedwhen estimated on a DM basis but accumulated on a PW basis becausehydration (g water in turgid tissue per g DM) declined morerapidly. In comparison with genotypes having high constitutive s, low-sgenotypes (a) were larger, had faster leaf extension rate, hadfewer tillers, and were proportionally more affected by drought,(b) showed greater osmotic adjustment, (c) contained and accumulatedmuch more fructan (but not oligosaccharides), and amino acids,especially proline, and (d) accumulated more mineral ions ona PW basis, but less on a DM basis. The relatively high repeatabilitiesfor organic solutes in particular show that further divergentselection for individual solutes would not be difficult. Solutes accumulated, probably because they were not consumedin growth. There was no evidence of competitionbetween growth and osmotic adjustment for metabolites, or thatplants which accumulated more solutes were better able to recoverwhen water deficits were relieved.

Water extracts of the red-tide dinoflagellate Alexandrium excavatumgrown at high light intensity (200 µE m2s1) show a broad absorbance maximum in the UV regionof the spectrum (310360 nm). Using TLC and reverse-phaseHPLC a series of mycosporine-like amino acids have been characterized:mycosporine-glycine (max = 310 nm), palythine (max = 320 nm),asterina-330 (max = 330 nm), shinorine (max = 334 nm), porphyra-334(max= 334 nm), palythenic acid (max = 337 nm) and the isomericmixture of usujirene and palythene (max = 359 nm). From theobserved spectral changes during transference from low(20 µE m2 s1) to high (200µE m2 s1) light intensities and vice versa,the series of compounds are supposed to be biogenically relatedto one another. The presence of these compounds in A.excavatumis discussed in relation to their possible role in the photoprotectionto deleterious UV radiation. 相似文献

The temperature dependence of the efflux kinetics of labelledwater in isolated maize roots has been studied. The purposeof these experiments was to obtain the energy of activation,E (kcal/mole), of the rate-limiting step in this radial exchangeprocess under various experimental conditions. Estimates ofE were obtained from linear relations between ln{D'w} and thereciprocal of the absolute temperature; values of the apparentdiffusion coefficient, D'w, of labelled water in the root werefound from an analytical treatment of the efflux data in termsof a cylindrical diffusion model. The energy of activation forlabelled-water exchange in normal roots was 14.9 kcal/mole.The corresponding value for dead (boiled) rootswas 3.9 kcal/mole. These values of E substantiate the view thatin normal roots the penetration of water across the membranesof the root cells constitutes the rate-determining step in theefflux whereas in dead roots extracellular diffusionof water is the source of rate-control. Similar temperature dependence studies were performed on theefflux kinetics from normal and dead roots treatedwith 105 M phenylmercuric acetate (PMA). The energiesof activation for labelled-water exchange in normal and deadroots under these conditions were respectively 15.5 and 5.3kcal/mole. Moreover, the results of the efflux experiments onPMA-treated roots were considered to indicate that this inhibitorproduces an alteration in some structural aspect of the rate-controllingmembranes. 相似文献

A series of experiments was conducted to assess net CO2assimilationand growth responses to waterlogging of grafted and seedlingtrees in the genus Annona. Seedlings of A. glabra, A. muricataandA. squamosa L., and scions of Gefner atemoya(A. squamosaxA. cherimola Mill.), 49-11 (GefneratemoyaxA. reticulata L.), 4-5 (PriestleyatemoyaxA. reticulata), A. reticulata grafted onto either A.glabra, A. reticulata orA. squamosa rootstocks were floodedfor up to 60 d. Soil anaerobiosis occurred on the third dayof flooding. Seedlings ofA. glabra and A. muricata, and thescions 49-11, Gefner atemoya, andA. reticulata grafted onto A. glabra rootstock were consideredflood tolerant based on their ability to survive and grow inflooded conditions. Scions of the normally flood-sensitive A.reticulata, Gefner atemoya, and 49-11tolerated root waterlogging when grafted onto the flood-tolerantspecies, A. glabra. In contrast, flooding of A. squamosa seedlingsand rootstocks, and A. reticulata rootstocks greatly reducedgrowth and net CO2assimilation rates, and resulted in 2080%tree mortality. Stem anatomical responses to long-term flooding(12 continuous months) were assessed in seedlings of A. glabraand A. muricata, and trees of 49-11 grafted ontoA. glabra. Flooded trees developed hypertrophied stem lenticels,particularly in A. glabra, and enlarged xylem cells resultingin thicker stems with reduced xylem density. Flooding did notincrease air spaces in pre-existing xylem near the pith or inxylem tissue that was formed during flooding. Thus, flood tolerancedid not involve aerenchyma formation in the stem.

Seasonal patterns of growth, dehydrins and water-soluble carbohydrates in genotypes of Dactylis glomerata varying in summer dormancy 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Background and Aims Summer dormancy in perennial grasseshas been studied inadequately, despite its potential to enhanceplant survival and persistence in Mediterranean areas. The aimof the present work was to characterize summer dormancy anddehydration tolerance in two cultivars of Dactylis glomerata(dormant Kasbah, non-dormant Oasis)and their hybrid using physiological indicators associated withthese traits. Methods Dehydration tolerance was assessed in a glasshouseexperiment, while seasonal metabolic changes which produce putativeprotectants for drought, such as carbohydrates and dehydrinsthat might be associated with summer dormancy, were analysedin the field. Key Results The genotypes differed in their ability tosurvive increasing soil water deficit: lethal soil water potential(s) was 3·4 MPa for Kasbah (althoughnon-dormant), 1·3 MPa for Oasis,and 1·6 MPa for their hybrid. In contrast, lethalwater content of apices was similar for all genotypes (approx.0·45 g H2O g d. wt1), and hence the greater survivalof Kasbah can be ascribed to better drought avoidancerather than dehydration tolerance. In autumn-sown plants, Kasbahhad greatest dormancy, the hybrid was intermediate and Oasishad none. The more dormant the genotype, the lower the metabolicactivity during summer, and the earlier the activity declinedin spring. Decreased monosaccharide content was an early indicatorof dormancy induction. Accumulation of dehydrins did not correlatewith stress tolerance, but dehydrin content was a function ofthe water status of the tissues, irrespective of the soil moisture.A protein of approx. 55 kDa occurred in leaf bases of the mostdormant cultivar even in winter. Conclusions Drought avoidance and summer dormancy arecorrelated but can be independently expressed. These traitsare heritable, allowing selection in breeding programmes. 相似文献

Impedance spectroscopy was used in studying frost hardinessof leaves of two diploid rhododendron cultivars, RhododendronL. PJM and R. Cunningham's White,and their tetraploid derivatives, R. Northern Starburst(NSB) and CW4. After the growing season and initial hardeningin a greenhouse, plants were subjected to an acclimation regimein a phytotron: 3 consecutive weeks at +5, +1 and -2°C each.Hardiness was studied with controlled freezing tests beforeeach decrease in temperature and at the end of the experiment,based on data of extracellular resistance reand relaxation time of the frost-exposed leaves. The correlation of the two estimateswas 0.92. Generally, the diploid clones had better frost hardinessthan the tetraploid clones. At the end of the experiment, frosthardiness of the diploid PJM was -28.7°C andthat of the tetraploid NSB -20.6°C. Leaves of the diploidCunningham's White and of the tetraploid CW4 hardenedto -32.0°C and -20.9°C, respectively. Frost hardinessestimated by impedance spectroscopy correlated well with earlierresults based on visual scoring (r = 0.810.86) and electrolyteleakage tests (r = 0.840.90), but results from impedancespectroscopy indicated weaker hardiness than the other tests.The difference between the results from impedance spectroscopyand the other tests was smaller and more coherent within theCunningham's White clones than within PJMand NSB. Changes in extracellular and intracellular resistanceof non-frozen leaves during the acclimation correlated withthe changes in frost hardiness of Cunningham's Whiteclones, but not with those of PJM and NSB, whichbelong to another subspecies.Copyright 2000 Annals of BotanyCompany Cold resistance, evergreen, frost hardiness, impedance spectroscopy, polyploid, Rhododendron, tetraploid 相似文献

In vitrorates of gross and net oxygen production were measuredas a function of light intensity in some plankton communitiescollected from Bedford Basin, Nova Scotia, and in a monoclonalculture of Synechococcus. The rate of gross oxygen productionwas measured by a technique in which the stable oxygen isotope,18O, serves as a photosynthetic tracer Net oxygen productionwas measured by automated Winkler technique. The rate of communityrespiration in the light was then determined by the differencebetween gross and net rates of oxygen production. In the naturalpopulations examined, neither gross nor net oxygen productionrates were significantly inhibited at the highest light intensitymeasured (500800 µE m2 s1) In a samplein which the dark respiration rate was small relative to themaximal rate of production [Pmax;sensu Platt et al (1980) JMar. Res., 38, 687701] the rates of lightrespiration were 3 times greater. In two other communities,with high rates of dark respiration relative to Pmaxthe ratesof light respiration were closer to rates of darkrespiration. In the Synechococcus clone, both gross and netoxygen production rates were inhibited at high light intensities.Rates of light respiration were found to varyas a function of light intensity. The greatest rates of respirationwere measured in samples incubated at light intensities thatwere just saturating (100 µE m2 s1). Therates of 14C production were also measured as a function oflight intensity The photosynthetic quotients, based on 14C productionrates and gross oxygen production rates, average 1 9 相似文献

Extracts of small and mature-size lupin pods yielded four substancesaffecting the growth of wheat-coleoptile sections: one acidpromotor (A), two acid inhibitors(B and X), and one neutralinhibitor(Y). Inhibitor B was extremely active, however, coleoptile sectionsshowed no signs of toxic effects; they resumed growth at a rapidrate after rinsing them and adding ß-indolylaceticand (IAA) to the medium. 1 µg of IAA was required to counteractthe effect of B extracted from 230 mg. Of tissue.On an equal fresh weight basis the inhibiting action of Bin lupin pods was 5001,500 times more potent than thatof inhibitor ß in etiolated pea seedlings. Small pods of plants infected with pea-mosaic virus yielded3 times the amount of A of healthy plants (equivalentto 1 µg. IAA 0.3 µg. IAA per 25 g. of tissue respectively),and approximately the amount of B. Mature podsof virus-infected plants again yielded moreA,but also 2? times more B than pods of healthyplants. Healthy pods yielded more A than virus-infectedpods, and there was no difference in X. A lupin abscission test was developed and the effects of proximaland distal application of -naphthyl acetic acid (NAA) are presented,and discussed with respect to results of other abscission tests. A accelerated abscission when applied proximally,and delayed or prevented it when applied distally. Bstrongly accelerated abscission when applied in either way.A possible mechanism explaining the abscission-inducing effectof developing pods on later flowers is discussed in terms ofthe substances A and B. The partlyprevented abscission observed on virus-infected plants was foundto agree well with the proposed mechanism. 相似文献

The Sensitivity of Net Photosynthesis in Several Plant Species to Short-term Fumigation with Sulphur Dioxide 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The effects of exposure of up to 2 h with sulphur dioxide ona range of plant species was observed by measuring changes inthe rate of net photosynthesis under closely controlled environmentalconditions. Ryegrass, Lolium perenne S23 was thespecies most sensitive to SO2; significant inhibition was detectedat 200 nl l1. Fumigations at 300 nl l1 also inhibitedphotosynthesis in field bean (Vicia faba cv. Three FoldWhite and Blaze) and in barley (Hordeumvulgare cv. Sonja). No effect was detected inwheat (Triticum aestivum cv. Virtue) at concentrationsup to 600 nl l1 SO2, or in oil-seed rape (Brassica napuscv. Rafal) except at 800 nl l1 SO2). Recoverycommenced immediately after the fumigation was terminated andwas complete within 2 h when inhibition had not exceeded 20%during the SO2 treatment.

Wilting of leaves of Vicia faba L., which occurs when the pressurepotential (p) is zero, and the leaf-water potential () at wiltingboth depend entirely upon the solute potential at incipientplasmolysis (so) and not on soil-water status. Wilting in V.faba is acropetal; this is consistent with the hypothesis thatthere is a gradient of decreasing so up the plant and that wateris transferred from the lower to the upper leaves, hasteningthe overall water loss from the lower leaves to the point whenp is zero. The gradient in so up the plant is of the order of38 bar. It is proposed that wilting when p>0 (i.e. > so) shouldbe apparent wilting and that when p0 (i.e. so),true wilting. 相似文献

Plants of four cultivars of Phaseolus vulgaris L. differingin drought resistance were grown in pots under greenhouse conditionsand prior to flowering water was withheld from the pots untilthe mid-day transpiration rate reached values below 1.0 µgH2O cm2 s1 (designated the droughtstage). At this point leaves were harvested on 3 or 4 occasionsover 24 h to determine the abscisic acid (ABA) concentration,total water potential (), solute potential (1) and turgor potential(p). Results showed that values of , 1, and p differed between cultivarswhen they reached the drought stage. The stomatalsensitivity to changes in and p, was as follows: Michoacán12A3 > Negro 150 Cacahuate 72 > Flor de Mayo. These datacorrelated well with the pattern of drought resistance reportedfor the cultivars. ABA accumulation at the drought stage differedbetween cultivars at each sampling time, but overall differencesin ABA level between cultivars were not significant. ABA levelsdid not, therefore, correlate with the drought resistance propertiesreported for the cultivars. Results are discussed in relationto and hour of the day when bean samples were taken for ABAanalysis. Key words: Phaseolus vulgaris L., drought resistance, abscisic acid 相似文献

Weighted finite population sampling to maximize entropy 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Attention is drawn to a method of sampling a finite populationof N units with unequal probabilities and without replacement.The method was originally proposed by Stern & Cover (1989)as a model for lotteries. The method can be characterized asmaximizing entropy given coverage probabilities i, or equivalentlyas having the probability of a selected sample proportionalto the product of a set of weights wi. We showthe essential uniqueness of the wi given the i. We present twomethods for stepwise selection of sampling units, and correspondingschemes for removal of units that can be used in connectionwith sample rotation. Inclusion probabilities of any order canbe written explicitly in closed form. Second-order inclusionprobabilities ij satisfy the condition O < ij < ij, whichguarantees Yates & Grundys variance estimator tobe unbiased, definable for all samples and always nonnegativefor any sample size. 相似文献

Nitrate provision has been found to regulate the capacity forChara corallina cells to take up nitrate. When nitrate was suppliedto N sufficient cells maximum nitrate uptake was reached after8 h. Prolonged treatment of the cells in the absence of N alsoresulted in the apparent ability of these cells to take up nitrate.Chlorate was found to substitute partially for nitrate in theinduction step. The effects on nitrate reductionwere separated from those on nitrate uptake by experiments usingtungstate. Tungstate pretreatment had no effect on NO3uptake induced by N starvation, but inhibitedNO3 uptake associated with NO3 pretreatment. Chloridepretreatment similarly had no effect on NO3 uptake inducedby N deprivation, but inhibited NO3 uptake followingNO3 pretreatment. The data suggest that there are atleast two mechanisms responsible for the inductionof nitrate uptake by Chara cells, one associated with NO3reduction and induced by CIO3 or NO3and one associated with N deprivation.

Salivary ions and neural taste responses in the hamster 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Saliva is a chemically complex fluid that bathes oral surfacesand may affect early events in mammalian gustation. We measuredchorda tympani responses to taste stimuli in hamsters (Mesocricetusauratus) while their tongues were adapted to either water, artificialsaliva or natural saliva. Artificial saliva on the tongue loweredneural responses to taste stimuli that were present in the artificialsaliva and to those stimuli that cross-adated with salivarycomponents. Changing from a water-adapted tongue to one soakedwith pilocarpine-stimulated saliva from donor hamsters led tosignificantly smaller responses to NaCl. Responses to sucrose,NH4Cl and quinine were unaffected. Chemical analysis of hamstersaliva revealed normal mammalian levels of K+,Ca2+ and Mg2+, but unexpectedly low levels of Na+ and Cl. 相似文献

Control of cytoplasmic pH under anoxic conditions and its implication for plasma membrane proton transport in Medicago sativa root hairs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In root hairs of Medicago sativa, pH-sensitive microelectrodeshave been applied to study cytoplasmic pH-regulation. To inhibitorslike oligomycin, antimycin A, cyanide and the exchange of O2for N2, the root hairs respond with a distinct cytoplasmic acidification.Whereas the cytoplasmic pH under aerobic conditions rests at7.28 0.11 SE (n = 168), under conditions of (chemical) anoxiathe cytoplasmic pH is shifted to a stable, well-regulated 6.78 0.08 SE (n = 81). Once this pH is attained in the presenceof one inhibitor, addition of another has no effect. 2-deoxyglucoseand N-acetylglucosamine, both inhibitors of glycolysis at thehexokinase level, increase cytoplasmic pH by about 0.3 pH units,as do glucogenic amino acids. It is suggested that aerobic energymetabolism does not contribute to acidosis of these cells. SincepH-shift and pump deactivation can be separated by using poorrespiratory inhibitors, it is concluded that the switch fromaerobic to anaerobic pH is not correlatedwith proton pump activity. Inversely, since cytoplasmic pH neitherresponds to pump activation by FC with alkalinization, nor topump deactivation by cyanide with acidification, it is alsoconcluded that changes in pump activity do not affect cytoplasmicpH.
