Grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench. cvs. TX430 and KS82] was grown in a Haynie very fine sandy loam (coarse-silty, mixed, superactive, calcareous, mesic Mollic Udifluvents) under constant 47 % shade or full irradiance in a greenhouse under two watering regimes to see the combined and individual effects of low irradiance (LI) and low water (LW) on the sorghum genotypes. Under the high-irradiance (HI) and high-water (HW) treatment (control) and the LI-HW treatment, TX430 grew taller than KS82. Both LI and LW reduced several times the fresh and dry masses. Under the control conditions, TX430 reached its maximum net photosynthetic rate (P
Nmax) of 28.93 mol m–2 s–1 at a photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) of 1 707 mol m–2 s–1, and KS82 reached its P
Nmax of 28.32 mol m–2 s–1 at a PPFD of 2 973 mol m–2 s–1. The fact that TX430 had P
Nmax under a lower PPFD than KS82 may relate to its taller growth under LI conditions. Hence genotypes of sorghum might be selected for low irradiance using curves relating P
N to PPFD. 相似文献

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) plants transformed with antisense rbcS to decrease the expression of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (Rubisco) have been used to investigate the contribution of Rubisco to the control of photosynthesis in plants growing at different irradiances. Tobacco plants were grown in controlled-climate chambers under ambient CO2 at 20°C at 100, 300 and 750 mol·m–2·s–1 irradiance, and at 28°C at 100, 300 and 1000 mol·m–2·s–1 irradiance. (i) Measurement of photosynthesis under ambient conditions showed that the flux control coefficient of Rubisco (C

) was very low (0.01–0.03) at low growth irradiance, and still fairly low (0.24–0.27) at higher irradiance. (ii) Short-term changes in the irradiance used to measure photosynthesis showed that C

supA
increases as incident irradiance rises, (iii) When low-light (100 mol·m–2·s–1)-grown plants are exposed to high (750–1000 mol·m–2·s–1) irradiance, Rubisco is almost totally limiting for photosynthesis in wild types. However, when high-light-grown leaves (750–1000 mol·m–2·s–1) are suddenly exposed to high and saturating irradiance (1500–2000 mol·m–2·s–1), C

supA
remained relatively low (0.23–0.33), showing that in saturating light Rubisco only exerts partial control over the light-saturated rate of photosynthesis in sun leaves; apparently additional factors are co-limiting photosynthetic performance, (iv) Growth of plants at high irradiance led to a small decrease in the percentage of total protein found in the insoluble (thylakoid fraction), and a decrease of chlorophyll, relative to protein or structural leaf dry weight. As a consequence of this change, high-irradiance-grown leaves illuminated at growth irradiance avoided an inbalance between the light reactions and Rubisco; this was shown by the low value of C
infRubisco
supA
(see above) and by measurements showing that non-photochemical quenching was low, photochemical quenching high, and NADP-malate dehydrogenase activation was low at the growth irradiance. In contrast, when a leaf adapted to low irradiance was illuminated at a higher irradiance, Rubisco exerted more control, non-photochemical quenching was higher, photochemical quenching was lower, and NADP-malate dehydrogenase activation was higher than in a leaf which had grown at that irradiance. We conclude that changes in leaf composition allow the leaf to avoid a one-sided limitation by Rubisco and, hence, overexcitation and overreduction of the thylakoids in high-irradiance growth conditions, (v) Antisense plants with less Rubisco contained a higher content of insoluble (thylakoid) protein and chlorophyll, compared to total protein or structural leaf dry weight. They also showed a higher rate of photosynthesis than the wild type, when measured at an irradiance below that at which the plant had grown. We propose that N-allocation in low light is not optimal in tobacco and that genetic manipulation to decrease Rubisco may, in some circumstances, increase photosynthetic performance in low light.Abbreviations A

Photoinhibition of photosynthesis represents a mechanism for the long-term regulation of photosystem II 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
The obligate shade plant, Tradescantia albiflora Kunth grown at 50 mol photons · m–2 s–1 and Pisum sativum L. acclimated to two photon fluence rates, 50 and 300 mol · m–2 · s–1, were exposed to photoinhibitory light conditions of 1700 mol · m–2 · s–1 for 4 h at 22° C. Photosynthesis was assayed by measurement of CO2-saturated O2 evolution, and photosystem II (PSII) was assayed using modulated chlorophyll fluorescence and flash-yield determinations of functional reaction centres. Tradescantia was most sensitive to photoinhibition, while pea grown at 300 mol · m–2 · s–1 was most resistant, with pea grown at 50 mol · m–2 · s–1 showing an intermediate sensitivity. A very good correlation was found between the decrease of functional PSII reaction centres and both the inhibition of photosynthesis and PSII photochemistry. Photoinhibition caused a decline in the maximum quantum yield for PSII electron transport as determined by the product of photochemical quenching (qp) and the yield of open PSII reaction centres as given by the steady-state fluorescence ratio, FvFm, according to Genty et al. (1989, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 990, 81–92). The decrease in the quantum yield for PSII electron transport was fully accounted for by a decrease in FvFm, since qp at a given photon fluence rate was similar for photoinhibited and noninhibited plants. Under lightsaturating conditions, the quantum yield of PSII electron transport was similar in photoinhibited and noninhibited plants. The data give support for the view that photoinhibition of the reaction centres of PSII represents a stable, long-term, down-regulation of photochemistry, which occurs in plants under sustained high-light conditions, and replaces part of the regulation usually exerted by the transthylakoid pH gradient. Furthermore, by investigating the susceptibility of differently lightacclimated sun and shade species to photoinhibition in relation to qp, i.e. the fraction of open-to-closed PSII reaction centres, we also show that irrespective of light acclimation, plants become susceptible to photoinhibition when the majority of their PSII reaction centres are still open (i.e. primary quinone acceptor oxidized). Photoinhibition appears to be an unavoidable consequence of PSII function when light causes sustained closure of more than 40% of PSII reaction centres.Abbreviations Fo and Fo

Strawberry (Fragaria ananassaDuch. cv. Fengxiang) plantlets were cultured under two in vitroenvironments for rooting, and then acclimatized under two ex vitroirradiance conditions. At the end of rooting stage plant height, fresh weight and specific leaf area of T1-plants grown under high sucrose concentration (3 sucrose), low photosynthetic photon flux density (30 mol m–2 s–1) and normal CO2 concentration (350–400 l l–1) were significantly higher than those of T2-plantlets grown under low sucrose concentration (0.5), high photosynthetic photon flux density (90 mol m–2 s–1) and elevated CO2 concentration (700–800 l l–1). But T2-plantlets had higher net photosynthetic rate (Pn), effective photochemical quantum yield of PSII (PSII), effective photosynthetic electron transport rate (ETR), photochemical quenching (qP) and ratio of chlorophyll fluorescence yield decrease (Rfd). After transfer, higher irradiance obviously promoted the growth of plantlets and was beneficial for the development of photosynthetic functions during acclimatization. T2-plantlets had higher fresh weight, leaf area, PSII and ETR under higher ex vitroirradiance condition. 相似文献

Net photosynthetic rate (P
N) of Valeriana jatamansi plants, grown under nylon net shade or under different tree canopies, was saturated with photons at 1 000 mol m–2 s–1 photosynthetic photon-flux-density (PPFD), whereas open-grown plants were able to photosynthesise even at higher PPFD, e.g. of 2 000 mol m–2 s–1. Plants grown under net shade had higher total chlorophyll (Chl) content per unit area of leaf surface. However, Chl a/b ratio was maximal in open-grown plants, but remained unchanged in plants grown in nylon net shade and under different tree canopies. Sun-grown plants had thicker leaves (higher leaf mass per leaf area unit), higher wax content, and higher P
N than shade grown plants. Thus V. jatamansi is able to acclimate to high PPFD and therefore this Himalayan species may be cultivated in open habitat to meet the ever-increasing industrial demand. 相似文献

Summary The growth and photosynethetic responses to atmospheric CO2 enrichment of 4 species of C4 grasses grown at two levels of irradiance were studied. We sought to determine whether CO2 enrichment would yield proportionally greater growth enhancement in the C4 grasses when they were grown at low irradiance than when grown at high irradiance. The species studied were Echinochloa crusgalli, Digitaria sanguinalis, Eleusine indica, and Setaria faberi. Plants were grown in controlled environment chambers at 350, 675 and 1,000 l 1-1 CO2 and 1,000 or 150 mol m-2 s-1 photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD). An increase in CO2 concentration and PPFD significantly affected net photosynthesis and total biomass production of all plants. Plants grown at low PPFD had significantly lower rates of photosynthesis, produced less biomass, and had reduced responses to increases in CO2. Plants grown in CO2-enriched atmosphere had lower photosynthetic capacity relative to the low CO2 grown plants when exposed to lower CO2 concentration at the time of measurement, but had greater rate of photosynthesis when exposed to increasing PPFD. The light level under which the plants were growing did not influence the CO2 compensation point for photosynthesis. 相似文献

A quantitative analysis of JPH scalar couplings in nucleic acids is difficult due to small couplings to phosphorus, the extreme overlap of the sugar protons and the fast relaxation of the spins involved in the magnetization transfer. Here we present a new methodology that relies on heteronuclear Constant Time Correlation Spectroscopy (CT-COSY). The three vicinal 3JPH3, 3JPH5 and 3JPH5 scalar couplings can be obtained by monitoring the intensity decay of the Pi-H3i – 1 peak as a function of the constant time T in a 2D correlation map. The advantage of the new method resides in the possibility of measuring the two 3JPH5 and 3JPH5 scalar couplings even in the presence of overlapped H5/H5 resonances, since the quantitative information is extracted from the intensity decay of the P-H3 peak. Moreover, the relaxation of the H3 proton is considerably slower than that of the H5/H5 geminal protons and the commonly populated conformations of the phosphate backbone are associated with large 3JPH3 couplings and relatively small 3JPH5 / H5. These two facts lead to optimal signal-to-noise ratio for the P-H3 correlation compared to the P-H5/H5 correlation.The heteronuclear CT-COSY experiment is suitable for oligonucleotides in the 10–15 kDa molecular mass range and has been applied to the 30mer HIV-2 TAR RNA. The methodology presented here can be used to measure P-H dipolar couplings (DPH) as well. We will present qualitative results for the measurement of P-Hbase and P-H2 dipolar couplings in the HIV-2 TAR RNA and will discuss the reasons that so far precluded the quantification of the DPHs for the 30mer RNA. 相似文献

Summary The angular dependence of1JC,H in model compounds related to -linked oligosaccharides has been established by FPT INDO quantum chemical calculations. Values calculated for models of (1 1)-, (1 2)-, (1 3)- and (1 4)-linked disaccharides were compared, and the effect of the orientation of HO-2 elucidated. The angular dependence of1JC,H on the torsional angles H and H and the solvent dielectric constant (s) was characterized in the form:1JC,H = A cos2+B cos + C sin2 + D since + E + Fe. The1JC,H values, measured by DEPT methods for C-1-H-1 and C-X-H-X in cellobiose, cyclic trisaccharide and hexopyranoses were used to adjust the calculated angular dependences. Based on the occurrence of the conformers for agarobiose, neoagarobiose, mannobiose and methyl -xylobioside, the thermodynamically averaged <1JC,H > values were calculated. The results obtained (<1JC-1,H-1 > 162.4, <1JC-4, H-4 > 147.6 Hz for methyl -xylobioside; <1JC-1,H-1 > 162.4 and <1JC-4,H-4] > 147.6 Hz for mannobiose; <1JC-1,H-1 > 162.8 Hz for neo agarobiose and <1JC-1,H-1 > 163.2 Hz for agarobiose) agree well with the experimental values of 162.7, 147.5, 160.4, 147.2, 160.9 and 165.7 Hz, respectively. 相似文献

Summary Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) was studied in a tropical epiphytic fern, Pyrrosia longifolia, from a fully sun-exposed and from a very shaded site in Northern Queensland, Australia. Measurements of instantaneous net CO2 exchange showed carbon gain via CO2 dark fixation with some net CO2 uptake also occuring during late afternoon, in both sun and shade fronds. Maximum rates of net CO2 uptake and the nocturnal increase in titratable acidity were lower in shade than in sun fronds. 13C values of sun and shade fronds were not significantly different, and ranged between-14 and-15 suggesting that, in the long term, carbon gain was mainly via CO2 dark fixation. Sun fronds had a higher light compensation point of photosynthesis than shade fronds but the same quantum yield. Yet there was no acclimation of photosynthetic O2 evolution, (measured at 5% CO2) in sun and shade fronds and photosynthesis saturated at between 200 and 400 mol quanta m-2 s-1. Use of higher light intensities for photosynthesis of sun fronds was probably precluded by low nutrient availability. Total nitrogen was less than 1% of dry weight in fully expanded sun and shade fronds. Exposure of shade fronds to full sunlight for 6 h led to a 60% decline in the quantum yield of photosynthesis and to a decline in variable fluorescence measured at room temperature. Photoinhibition by high light was also observed in Hoya nicholsoniae, a rainforest climber growing in deep shade. This species also exhibited CAM as demonstrated by nocturnal net CO2 uptake, nocturnal acidification and a 13C value of-14. Photosynthetic O2 evolution in this species was saturated at 2.5% of full sunlight. Two species of Dendrobium (Orchidaceae) from sun-exposed sites, one species exhibiting CAM and the other one exhibiting net CO2 uptake exclusively during daytime via conventional C3 photosynthesis, showed similar light response curves and the same quantum yield for photosynthetic O2 evolution. 相似文献

The aim of the study was to determine the influence of total dissolvedsolids/salinity (mg L-1 TDS) on photosynthetic activity of Nodularia spumigena strain 001E isolated from Lake Alexandrina, SouthAustralia, using photosynthesis-irradiance (PI) curves. N. spumigena001E cultures were grown in ASM medium at a range of TDSconcentrations (360, 6,600, 13,200, 19,800, 26,400 mg L-1)at an irradiance of 30 mol m-2 s-1 (PAR, 400–700 nm) at 25 °C. The PI relationship was determined at 25 °Cfor irradiances between 0 and 500 mol photon m-2s-1 (PAR). The initial slope of PI curve, , a function of lightharvesting efficiency and photosynthetic energy conversion, decreasedproportionally with an increase in salinity from 360 to 26,400 mgL-1 TDS. The maximum rate of photosynthesis (Pmax),occurred at 6,600 mg L-1 TDS. No influence of salinity onIk, the irradiance at which Pmax was measured, or on Rd, the dark respiration rate, was identified. 相似文献

Relationship of leaf anatomy with photosynthetic acclimation of Valeriana jatamansi was studied under full irradiance [FI, 1 600 mol(PPFD) m–2 s–1] and net-shade [NS, 650 mol(PPFD) m–2 s–1]. FI plants had thicker leaves with higher respiration rate (R
D), nitrogen content per unit leaf area, chlorophyll a/b ratio, high leaf mass per leaf area unit (LMA), and surface area of mesophyll cell (S
mes) and chloroplasts (S
c) facing intercellular space than NS plants. The difference between leaf thickness of FI and NS leaves was about 28 % but difference in photon-saturated rate of photosynthesis per unit leaf area (P
Nmax) was 50 %. This indicates that P
Nmax can increase to a larger extent than the leaf thickness with increasing irradiance in V. jatamansi. Anatomical studies showed that the mesophyll cells of FI plants had no open spaces along the mesophyll cell walls (higher S
c), but in NS plants wide open spaces along the mesophyll cell wall (lower S
c) were found. Positive correlation between S
c and P
Nmax explained the higher P
Nmax in FI plants. Increase in mesophyll thickness increased the availability of space along the mesophyll cell wall for chloroplasts (increased S
c) and hence P
Nmax was higher in FI plants. Thus this Himalayan species can acclimate to full sunlight by altering leaf anatomy and therefore may be cultivated in open fields. 相似文献

The conserved residue Thr42 of -subunit of the chloroplast ATP synthase of maize (Zea mays L.) was substituted with Cys, Arg, and Ile, respectively, through site-directed mutagenesis. The over-expressed and refolded -proteins were purified by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and FPLC on mono-Q column, which were as biologically active (inhibiting Ca2+-ATPase activity and blocking proton gate) as the native subunit isolated from chloroplasts. The T42C and T42R showed higher inhibitory activities on the soluble CF1(–) Ca2+-ATPase than the WT. The T42I inhibited the Ca2+-ATPase activity of soluble CF1 and restored photophosphorylation activity of membrane-bound CF1 deficient in the most efficiently. Far-ultraviolet CD spectra showed that the portions of -helix and -sheet structures of the three mutants were somewhat different from WT. Thus the conserved residue Thr42 may be important for maintaining the structure and function of the -subunit and the basic functions of the -subunit as far as an inhibitor of Ca2+-ATPase and the proton gate are related. 相似文献

Neurosteroids are endogenous Central Nervous System (CNS) compounds which act mainly by allosteric modulation of the GABAA receptor complex. The presence of a 3-hydroxyl group and a 5-hydrogen atom have been found to be essential structural requirements for biological activity in mammals. In the present work we report the enhancing activity on [3H]GABA binding to its receptor sites in chick optic lobe produced by progesterone metabolites 3-hydroxy,5-pregnan-20-one (3,5-P) and 3-hydroxy,5-pregnan-20-one (3,5-P). Both steroids were found able to enhance [3H]GABA binding along ontogeny, displaying a similar profile at early developmental stages, while in adulthood 3,5-P had greater potency (EC50 0.22 M) and enhancing effect (Emax: 122%). In adult synaptic membranes, the two compounds displayed a complex interaction with the GABAA receptor, disclosed by a Schild plot with slope below one and an incomplete displacement of 3,5-P by its 3,5 isomer. Such complexity could be related to the steroidogenic profile in avian CNS, with 5-reduced progesterone metabolites present since early development, while 3,5-P is found only in adulthood. Bearing in mind differences between avian and mammalian steroidogenic profiles and the relevance of 5-steroids in early avian development, we propose that 3,5-P, instead of the classical potent 3,5-steroids, may be the endogenous modulator of GABAergic activity in developing avian brain. 相似文献

Summary Alanine-rich peptides serve as models for exploring the factors that control helix structure in peptides and proteins. Scalar CH-NH couplings (3JHN) are an extremely useful measure of local helix content; however, the large alanine content in these peptides leads to significant signal overlap in the CH region of 1H 2D NMR spectra. Quantitative determination of all possible 3JHN values is, therefore, very challenging. Szyperski and co-workers [(1992) J. Magn. Reson., 99, 552–560] have recently developed a method for determining 3JHN from NOESY spectra. Because 3JHN may be determined from 2D peaks outside of the CH region, there is a much greater likelihood of identifying resolved resonances and measuring the associated coupling constants. It is demonstrated here that 3JHN can be obtained for every residue in the helical peptide Ac-(AAAAK)3A-NH2. The resulting 3JHN profile clearly identifies a helical structure in the middle of the peptide and further suggests that the respective helix termini unfold via distinct pathways.Abbreviations

This study reports a novel splice variant form of the voltage-dependent calcium channel 2 subunit (2g). This variant is composed of the conserved amino-terminal sequences of the 2a subunit, but lacks the -subunit interaction domain (BID), which is thought essential for interactions with the 1 subunit. Gene structure analysis revealed that this gene was composed of 13 translated exons spread over 107 kb of the genome. The gene structure of the 2 subunit was similar in exon-intron organization to the murine 3 and human 4 subunits. Electrophysiological evaluation revealed that 2a and 2g affected channel properties in different ways. The 2a subunit increased the peak amplitude, but failed to increase channel inactivation, while 2g had no significant effects on either the peak current amplitude or channel inactivation. Other subunits, such as 3 and 4, significantly increased the peak current and accelerated current inactivation. 相似文献

We compared flavonoids in green, mature, and senescing flag leaves of wheat grown under ambient (AC - 370 mol mol-1) and elevated (EC - 550 mol mol-1) concentrations of CO2 in a FACE (Free Air CO2 Enrichment) system. The concentrations of flag leaf flavonoids (e.g., isoorientin and tricin) decreased to one third in mature leaves, and the majoritary isoorientin almost disappeared in senescing leaves. Flavonoid concentrations increased in green well-developed flag leaves under EC (46 % isoorientin and 55 % tricin), whereas the differences disappeared in mature and senescing flag leaves. Predictions of changes in litter phenolic concentrations and their effects on decomposition rates under EC based on changes in green leaves need to be revised. 相似文献

An open reading frame of the -subunit 1-205 residues (205) of human acetylcholine receptor (AchR) was amplified by PCR with pUC-AChR205 as the template and inserted into vector pMAL-c2X. The constructed pMAR205 was transferred into E. coli BL21 which were then grown in LB medium. The amount of soluble MBP-AChR205 protein reached about 25% of total soluble proteins from the cell lysate. Using amylose-affinity chromatography, about 35 mg MBP-AChR205 could be obtained from 1 l culture. Western blot analysis and ELISA showed that immunoreactivities of both MBP-AChR205 and AChR205 were similar to that of AChR -subunit from Torpedo.Revisions received 23 September 2004 相似文献

Summary The effects of CO2 enrichment and water stress on gas exchange of Liquidambar styraciflua L. (sweetgum) and Pinus taeda L. (loblolly pine) seedlings were examined for individuals grown from seed under high (1000 mol·m-2·s-1) and low (250 mol·m-2·s-1) photosynthetic photon flux density at 350, 675 and 1000 l·l-1 CO2. At 8 weeks of age, half the seedlings in each CO2-irradiance treatment were subjected to a drying cycle which reduced plant water potential to about -2.5 MPa in the most stressed plants, while control plants remained well-watered (water potentials of -0.3 and -0.7 MPa for sweetgum and loblolly pine, respectively). During this stress cycle, whole seedling net photosynthesis, transpiration and stomatal conductance of plants from each CO2-irradiance-water treatment were measured under respective growth conditions.For both species, water stress effects on gas exchange were greatest under high irradiance conditions. Waterstressed plants had significantly lower photosynthesis rates than well-watered controls throughout most of the drying cycle, with the most severe inhibition occurring for low CO2, high irradiance-grown sweetgum seedlings. Carbon dioxide enrichment had little effect on gas exchange rates of either water-stressed or well-watered loblolly pine seedlings. In contrast, water stress effects were delayed for sweetgum seedlings grown at elevated CO2, particularly in the 1000 l·l-1 CO2, high irradiance treatment where net photosynthesis, transpiration and conductance of stressed plants were 60, 36 and 33% of respective control values at the end of the drying cycle. Development of internal plant water deficits was slower for stressed sweetgum seedlings grown at elevated CO2. As a result, these seedlings maintained higher photosynthetic rates over the drying cycle than stressed sweetgum seedlings grown at 350 l·l-1 CO2 and stressed loblolly pine seedlings grown at ambient and enriched CO2 levels. In addition, water-stressed sweetgum seedlings grown at elevated CO2 exhibited a substantial increase in water use efficiency.The results suggest that with the future increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration, sweetgum seedlings should tolerate longer exposure to low soil moisture, resulting in greater first year survival of seedlings on drier sites of abandoned fields in the North Carolina piedmont. 相似文献
