The subject of this study was the participation of nitric oxide (NO) in plant responses to wounding, promoted by nicking of pelargonium ( Pelargonium peltatum L.) leaves. Bio-imaging with the fluorochrome 4,5-diaminofluorescein diacetate (DAF-2DA) and electrochemical in situ measurement of NO showed early (within minutes) and transient (2 h) NO generation after wounding restricted to the site of injury. In order to clarify the functional role of NO in relation to modulation of the redox balance during wounding, a pharmacological approach was used. A positive correlation was found between NO generation and regulation of the redox state. NO caused a slight restriction of post-wounded O2 − production, in contrast to the periodic and marked increase in H2 O2 level. The observed changes were accompanied by time-dependent inhibition of catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity. The effect was specific to NO, since the NO scavenger 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5 tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (cPTIO) reversed the inhibition of CAT and APX, as well as temporarily enhancing H2 O2 synthesis. Finally, cooperation of NO/H2 O2 restricted the depletion of the low-molecular weight antioxidant pool ( i.e . ascorbic acid and thiols) was positively correlated with sealing and reconstruction changes in injured pelargonium leaves ( i.e . lignin formation and callose deposition). The above results clearly suggest that NO may promote restoration of wounded tissue through stabilisation of the cell redox state and stimulation of the wound scarring processes. 相似文献

Rapid wound-healing is crucial in protecting potato tubers frominfection and dehydration. Wound-induced suberization and theaccumulation of hydrophobic barriers to reduce water vapourconductance/loss are principal protective wound-healing processes.However, little is known about the cognate mechanisms that effector regulate these processes. The objective of this researchwas to determine the involvement of abscisic acid (ABA) in theregulation of wound-induced suberization and tuber water vapourloss (dehydration). Analysis by liquid chromatography–massspectrometry showed that ABA concentrations varied little throughoutthe tuber, but were slightly higher near the periderm and lowestin the pith. ABA concentrations increase then decrease duringtuber storage. Tuber wounding induced changes in ABA content.ABA content in wound-healing tuber discs decreased after wounding,reached a minimum by 24 h, and then increased from the 3rd tothe 7th day after wounding. Wound-induced ABA accumulationswere reduced by fluridone (FLD); an inhibitor of de novo ABAbiosynthesis. Wound-induced phenylalanine ammonia lyase activitywas slightly reduced and the accumulation of suberin poly(phenolics)and poly(aliphatics) noticeably reduced in FLD-treated tissues.Addition of ABA to the FLD treatment restored phenylalanineammonia lyase activity and suberization, unequivocally indicatingthat endogenous ABA is involved in the regulation of these wound-healingprocesses. Similar experiments showed that endogenous ABA isinvolved in the regulation of water vapour loss, a process linkedto wax accumulation in wound-healing tubers. Rapid reductionof water vapour loss across the wound surface is essential inpreventing desiccation and death of cells at the wound site;live cells are required for suberization. These results unequivocallyshow that endogenous ABA is involved in the regulation of wound-inducedsuberization and the processes that protect surface cells fromwater vapour loss and death by dehydration.

Wounding induces a series of coordinated physiological responses essential for protection and healing of the damaged tissue. Wound-induced formation of jasmonic acid (JA) is important in defense responses in leaves, but comparatively little is known about the induction of JA biosynthesis and its role(s) in tuber wound-healing. In this study, the effects of wounding on JA content, expression of JA biosynthetic genes, and the involvement of JA in the initiation of closing layer formation in potato tubers were determined. In addition, the role of abscisic acid (ABA) in wound-induced JA accumulation was examined. The basal JA content in non-wounded tuber tissues was low (<3 ng g−1 FW). Two hours after wounding, the JA content increased by >5-fold, reached a maximum between 4 and 6 h after wounding, and declined to near-basal levels thereafter. Tuber age (storage duration) had little effect on the pattern of JA accumulation. The expressions of the JA biosynthetic genes (StAOS2, StAOC, and StOPR3) were greatly increased by wounding reaching a maximum 2-4 h after wounding and declining thereafter. A 1-h aqueous wash of tuber discs immediately after wounding resulted in a 94% inhibition of wound-induced JA accumulation. Neither JA treatment nor inhibition of JA accumulation affected suberin polyphenolic accumulation during closing layer development indicating that JA was not essential for the initiation of primary suberization. ABA treatment did not restore JA accumulation in washed tuber tissues suggesting that leaching of endogenous ABA was either not involved or not solely involved in this loss of JA accumulation by washing. Collectively, these results indicate that JA is not required for the induction of processes essential to the initiation of suberization during closing layer development, but do not exclude the possibility that JA may be involved in other wound related responses. 相似文献

Senescence-related changes in the antioxidant status of ginkgo and birch leaves during autumn yellowing 总被引:12,自引:1,他引:11
The antioxidant status of birch and ginkgo leaves during autumnal senescence was characterized by the activities of catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). The contents of leaf H2 O2 and ascorbate were used as indicators of oxidative stress. Degradation of chlorophyll (chl) during natural senescence was not accompanied either by an increase of H2 O2 or by a decrease of reduced ascorbate. A transient decrease of reduced ascorbate in ginkgo and birch leaves in early senescence was accompanied by CAT inactivation. The activity of ionically-bound PODs was stimulated in late senescence in both species, when more than 30% of chl was degraded. Induction of MnSOD in both species and new isoforms of CuZnSOD in birch in late senescence was accompanied by the disappearance of other CuZnSOD isoforms in birch and FeSOD in ginkgo. The role of antioxidative enzymes in keeping ascorbate reduced and endogenous H2 O2 at low levels in senescent leaves of deciduous trees was discussed. 相似文献

The hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) stress response in Enterococcus faecalis ATCC19433 was investigated. A 2·4 mmol l−1 H2 O2 pretreatment conferred protection against a lethal concentration (45 mmol l−1 ) of this agent. The relatively high concentrations of H2 O2 used for adaptation and challenge treatments in Ent. faecalis emphasised the strong resistance towards oxidative stress in this species. Various stresses (NaCl, heat, ethanol, acidity and alkalinity) induced weak or strong H2 O2 cross-protection. This paper describes the involvement of protein synthesis in the active response to lethal dose of H2 O2 , in addition to the impressive enhancement of synthesis of five H2 O2 stress proteins. Combined results suggest that these proteins might play an important role in the H2 O2 tolerance response. 相似文献

Is hydrogen peroxide a second messenger of salicylic acid in systemic acquired resistance? 总被引:18,自引:1,他引:17

Elevated levels of salicylic acid (SA) are required for the induction of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in plants. Recently, a salicylic acid-binding protein (SABP) isolated from tobacco was shown to have catalase activity. Based on this finding elevated levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) were postulated to act as a second messenger of SA in the SAR signal transduction pathway. A series of experiments have been carried out to clarify the role of H2 O2 in SAR-signaling. No increase of H2 O2 was found during the onset of SAR. Induction of the SAR gene, PR-1, by H2 O2 and H2 O2 -inducing chemicals is strongly suppressed in transgenic tobacco plants that express the bacterial salicylate hydroxylase gene, indicating that H2 O2 induction of SAR genes is dependent on SA accumulation. Following treatment of plants with increasing concentrations of H2 O2 , a dose-dependent accumulation of total SA species was found, suggesting that H2 O2 may induce PR-1 gene expression through SA accumulation. While the results do not support a role for H2 O2 in SAR signaling, it is suggested that SA inhibition of catalase activity may be important in tissues undergoing a hypersensitive response. 相似文献

Twelve strains of meat lactic starter cultures (Pediococcus spp. and Lactobacillus plantarum) were found to produce hydrogen peroxide in vitro. The (cumulative) amounts of H2 O2 produced were measured through the peroxidative action of catalase on H2 O2 and oxidation of added formate to CO2 by the H2 O2 -catalase complex formed. There was a problem in building a calibration curve for converting values of formate oxidation into amounts of H2 O2 , either by adding H2 O2 directly to the assay mixture or having it produced via a glucose-glucose oxidase system. 相似文献

Abstract Bacteroides fragilis Bf-2 cells were more sensitive to far-UV radiation, N -methyl- N '-nitrosoguanidine, ethylmethane sulphonate, acriflavine and mitomycin C under aerobic conditions than under anaerobic conditions. The opposite effect was observed with H2 O2 -treated cells and exposure to O2 enhanced the survival of H2 O2 -treated cells. Pretreatment of cells with sublethal concentrations of H2 O2 also increased the survival of H2 O2 -treated cells. Reactivation of UV- and X-irradiated and methylmethane sulphonate and H2 O2 -treated phage b-1 was induced by O2 and H2 O2 in B. fragilis . 相似文献

Abstract: We studied the action of H2 O2 on the exocytosis of glutamate by cerebrocortical synaptosomes. The treatment of synaptosomes with H2 O2 (50–150 µ M ) for a few minutes results in a long-lasting depression of the Ca2+ -dependent exocytosis of glutamate, induced by KCl or by the K+ -channel inhibitor 4-aminopyridine. The energy state of synaptosomes, as judged by the level of phosphocreatine and the ATP/ADP ratio, was not affected by H2 O2 , although a transient decrease was observed after the treatment. H2 O2 did not promote peroxidation, as judged by the formation of malondialdehyde. In indo-1-loaded synaptosomes, the treatment with H2 O2 did not modify significantly the KCl-induced increase of [Ca2+ ]i . H2 O2 inhibited exocytosis also when the latter was induced by increasing [Ca2+ ]i with the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin. The effects of H2 O2 were unchanged in the presence of superoxide dismutase and the presence of the Fe3+ chelator deferoxamine. These results appear to indicate that H2 O2 , apparently without damaging the synaptosomes, induces a long-lasting inhibition of the exocytosis of glutamate by acting directly on the exocytotic process. 相似文献

Suspension-cultured rose ( Rosa damascena Mill. cv. Gloire de Guilan) cells irradiated with UV-C (254 nm. 558 J m−2 ) showed a transient production of H2 O2 as measured by chemiluminescence of luminol in the presence of peroxidase (EC 1.1 1.1.7). The peak concentration of H2 O2 , which occurred at about 60–90 min after irradiation, was 8–9 μ M . The time course for the appearance of H2 O2 matched that for UV–induced K+ efflux. Treatments that inhibited the UV-induced efflux of K+ , including heat and overnight incubation with cycloheximide and diethylmaleate, also inhibited the appearance of H2 O2 . The converse was not always true, since catalase (EC 1.11.1.6. and salicylhydroxamic acid, which inhibited luminescence, did not stop K+ efflux. We conclude that H2 O2 synthesis depends on K+ efflux. Because H2 .O2 in the extracellular space is required for lignin synthesis in many plant tissues, we suggest that the UV–stimulated production of H2 O2 is an integral part of a defensive lignin synthesis. 相似文献

The effect of MRS broth on the stability of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) has been studied. Known concentrations (1–100 μg ml−1 ) of H2 O2 were prepared in distilled water, phosphate buffer (pH 7·0) and MRS broth (pH 6·2 and 3·9). H2 O2 was very stable in aqueous and buffer solutions but it was rapidly degraded in MRS broth (pH 3·9). The presence of H2 O2 in MRS broth (pH 6·2) could not be detected. 相似文献

Two bursts of H2 O2 production have been detected by in situ 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining after cutting of Lolium perenne L. leaf blades. The first burst, which occurred immediately after wounding was inhibited by Na-diethydithiocarbamate (DIECA), a Cu/Zn–superoxide dismutase (SOD) inhibitor. The second burst, which was initiated several hours later, coincided with the induction of oxalate oxidase (G-OXO) activity detected in vitro or visualized in situ by the α-chloronaphtol assay. Four genes encoding G-OXO have been identified from cDNA obtained from wounded L. perenne L . leaf blades. Comparison of protein sequences revealed more than 91% homology in the coding region between G-OXOs of the true cereals and G-OXOs of ryegrass, which is a Gramineae belonging to the tribe of Festucaceae. The wound-dependent increase of G-OXO activity in floated cut leaf blades was the result of differential induction of the four g-oxo genes. The involvement of G-OXOs in wound-induced H2 O2 production coincided with the presence in leaf tissues of oxalate throughout the period of increase of G-OXO synthesis. Moreover, expression of g-oxo genes was enhanced by an exogenous supply of H2 O2 or methyljasmonate (MeJa). Expression of the four g-oxo genes was also induced after in planta stinging of leaf blades. The pattern of their expression in planta was identical to that occuring in senescing leaf sheaths. These results emphasize the importance of G-OXOs in H2 O2 production in oxalate-producing plant species such as ryegrass. G-OXOs might be crucial during critical events in the life of plants such as cutting and senescence by initiating H2 O2 -mediated defences against pathogens and foraging animals. 相似文献

The Dutch elm disease (DED) pathogen Ophiostoma novo-ulmi Buissm. elicited the production of H2 O2 in cell suspension cultures of the resistant species Ulmus pumila L. This response was not observed in suspensions of the susceptible elm U. campestris Mill. H2 O2 production started after a lag time of 30–40 min following inoculation, peaked between 4 and 6 h and lasted up to 24 h. Treatment of the suspensions with exogenously added H2 O2 did not cause accumulation of the sesquiterpene phytoalexins mansonones nor of the coumarin scopoletin. Spore germination and growth of O. novo-ulmi were significantly delayed with different amounts of H2 O2 (0.1–1 m M ). These results suggest that H2 O2 production is an inducible defence response which may contribute to DED resistance by delaying the growth of the pathogen at the earliest stages of infection. Whether H2 O2 is involved in other elm defence responses to the pathogen is presently unknown, but its production seems to be an independent event from phytoalexin formation. 相似文献

Abstract Reactivation of UV-irradiated phage b-1 was induced by H2 O2 and UV in Bacteroides fragilis . The characteristics of H2 O2 and UV induced phage reactivation differ from a previously reported oxygen induced reactivation system. The survival of B. fragilis cells after UV irradiation was also increased by pretreatment with H2 O2 . DNA synthesis was not inhibited in the host cells exposed to H2 O2 concentrations which induced phage reactivation. The pattern of DNA degradation and synthesis after UV irradiation with and without H2 O2 differed from the effect of O2 on DNA synthesis in irradiated B. fragilis cells. 相似文献

Abstract: Mitochondrial complexes I, II, and III were studied in isolated brain mitochondrial preparations with the goal of determining their relative abilities to reduce O2 to hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) or to reduce the alternative electron acceptors nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) and diphenyliodonium (DPI). Complex I and II stimulation caused H2 O2 formation and reduced NBT and DPI as indicated by dichlorodihydrofluorescein oxidation, nitroformazan precipitation, and DPI-mediated enzyme inactivation. The O2 consumption rate was more rapid under complex II (succinate) stimulation than under complex I (NADH) stimulation. In contrast, H2 O2 generation and NBT and DPI reduction kinetics were favored by NADH addition but were virtually unobservable during succinate-linked respiration. NADH oxidation was strongly suppressed by rotenone, but NADH-coupled H2 O2 flux was accelerated by rotenone. α-Phenyl- N-tert -butyl nitrone (PBN), a compound documented to inhibit oxidative stress in models of stroke, sepsis, and parkinsonism, partially inhibited complex I-stimulated H2 O2 flux and NBT reduction and also protected complex I from DPI-mediated inactivation while trapping the phenyl radical product of DPI reduction. The results suggest that complex I may be the principal source of brain mitochondrial H2 O2 synthesis, possessing an "electron leak" site upstream from the rotenone binding site (i.e., on the NADH side of the enzyme). The inhibition of H2 O2 production by PBN suggests a novel explanation for the broad-spectrum antioxidant and antiinflammatory activity of this nitrone spin trap. 相似文献

Aims: Development of the resazurin microplate method (RMM) as a novel test system for the evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of antiseptics and disinfectants. The validated RMM was subsequently applied for the evaluation of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) and stabilized H2 O2 combination products.
Methods and Results: The European Committee for Standardization prescribes the plate count challenge test (PCCT) for antiseptic and disinfectant efficacy testing. This protocol was adapted to a microplate-based assay, using resazurin as viability indicator. The RMM was as accurate as the PCCT, had an identical detection limit and showed high intermediate precision. Using the validated RMM, it was shown that H2 O2 combined with silver possessed a higher bactericidal and fungicidal activity compared to native H2 O2 with and without glycerol.
Conclusions: Validation showed that the RMM may replace the PCCT. When applying the RMM, H2 O2 combined with silver was clearly a more potent disinfectant compared to H2 O2 in killing bacteria and fungi.
Significance and Impact of the Study: The RMM is easier to use for antimicrobial efficacy testing of antiseptics and disinfectants. As the RMM is in accordance with the norms of the European Committee for Standardization, it may become a more cost-effective alternative to the more laborious PCCT reference method. H2 O2 with silver may replace native H2 O2 to increase overall disinfection efficiency. 相似文献
