Measurements of tonoplast resistance for unit area, T were carriedout by four methods. The T values obtained by two of these methods,when taking into account a correction for leakage current, were0.024 and 0.010 k cm2. The other two methods, which made itpossible to neglect leakage current, gave the T values of 0.036and 0.021 k cm2. Thus, the mean value of tonoplast resistancein the investigated cells of Nitellopsis obtusa was 0.023 kcm2, while the measurements in which leakage current was nottaken into account gave the value 10.6 k cm2. The results obtainedin this study indicate the fact that leakage current significantlyaffects measurements of tonoplast resistance and that the truevalue of that resistance is smaller by two or three orders ofmagnitude than that usually reported. 相似文献

Photorespiratory glycine enhances glutathione accumulation in both the chloroplastic and cytosolic compartments 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Transformed poplars overexpressing -glutamylcysteine synthetase (-ECS) in the chloroplast (Lggs) were used to
investigate chloroplastic biosynthesis of glutathione (GSH). In Lggs
leaves, GSH contents were enhanced by up to 3.7 fold. In general, the
highest GSH contents were observed in lines with highest
-glutamylcysteine (-EC) contents. These lines had
relatively low glycine. In darkness, foliar GSH decreased and -EC
increased. Illumination of pre-darkened Lggs in air resulted in a 5-fold
decrease in the -EC : GSH ratio. This light-induced decrease was
largely abolished if leaves were illuminated at high CO2. Consequently, the
-EC : GSH ratio of illuminated leaves was much higher at high CO2
than in air. At high CO2 total foliar amino acids were
higher, but glycine and serine were lower, than in air. These results
suggest that photorespiratory glycine is used in chloroplastic GSH
synthesis. Despite this net CO2 fixation was similar in Lggs to
untransformed poplars. Pre-illuminated leaf discs from Lggs, and poplars
overexpression -ECS in the cytosol (ggs), were incubated in
darkness with a range of metabolites. After 15 h, discs for both types of
transformant incubated on water had accumulated high levels of -EC
and showed marked increases in the -EC : GSH ratio. Feeding
glycine, serine, glycollate or phosphoserine, attenuated the dark-induced
changes in the -EC : GSH ratio, whereas 3-phosphoglycerate (PGA),
phosphoenolpyruvate, glycerate, and hydroxypyruvate did not. Glycine
produced from glycollate was therefore required for maximal GSH
accumulation in both the chloroplastic and cytosolic compartment.
Production of glycine from PGA failed to meet the demand of increased GSH
synthetic capacity. 相似文献

The Role of Glutamate Decarboxylase and {gamma}-Aminobutyric Acid in Germinating Barley 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The variations in glutamate decarboxylase activity and in glutamicacid and -ABA concentration have been measured in barley embryosduring the uptake of water and in the roots and shoots for upto 6 days of growth. Glutamate decarboxylase activity was relativelysteady in the embryos during soaking but rose rapidly once growthbegan. This development paralleled an increase in the concentrationof glutamic acid in both roots and shoots at a time when theconcentration of -ABA was falling. During soaking in aeratedwater, the -ABA content of the embryos rose for 36 h, at whichpoint it accounted for 35 per cent of the soluble amino acids.-ABA was found to be a major free amino acid in roots but notin shoots. Experiments in vivo involving 14C-labelled glutamicacid and -ABA indicated that carbon from -ABA passed very rapidlyinto the citric-acid cycle intermediates and also that, throughoutthe period studied, -ABA was formed from glutamic acid despitethe alterations in relative concentrations of these amino acidsin the growing tissue. 相似文献

An error occurs in the calibration of xylem pressure potential() against leaf-water potential () when the calibration is madeusing plant material in which the water stress has been inducedartificially after excision. The impostion of water stress afterexcision affects the determination more than it affects , consequentlythe relationship between these two indices of water stress isaltered. Care should be exercised to ensure that identical proceduresare adopted during . calibrations and during susbsequent fieldmeasurements of with the pressure-chamber apparatus. 相似文献

A karyopherin (LeKAP1) cDNA was isolated from tomato
plants. The deduced LeKAP1 protein sequence of 527 amino acids
showed similarity to other plant karyopherin proteins. When
LeKAP1 was expressed in a yeast two-hybrid
system together with the gene coding for the capsid protein (CP) of the
tomato yellow curl leaf virus (TYLCV), it interacted directly with CP.
Thus, LeKAP1 may be involved in the nuclear import of TYLCV CP
and, potentially, the TYLCV genomes during viral infection of the host
tomato cells. 相似文献

The Meaning of Matric Potential 总被引:6,自引:1,他引:5
The commonly used equation, = P - + , which describes thepartitioning of plant water potential, , into components ofhydrostatic pressure, P, osmotic pressure, , and matric potential,, is misleading. The term , which is supposed to show the influenceof a solid phase on , is zero if a consistent definition ofpressure is used in the standard thermodynamic derivation. However,it can be usefully defined by = + D, where D is the osmoticpressure of the equilibrium dialysate of the system. The practicaland theoretical significance of this definition is discussed. 相似文献

Information on the biological activities of gibberellins (GAs)in the barley aleurone, Tangin-bozu dwarf rice, dwarf pea, lettucehypocotyl and cucumber hypocotyl bioassays is reviewed and discussedin the context of GA structure-activity relationships. The barley aleurone bioassay exhibits a limited response toGAs and it is suggested that this may be because the aleuronecells are able to carry out few GA interconversions. Consequentlyactivity is determined by the degree of compatibility betweenthe GAs and a receptor site. In this assay high biological activityis associated with GAs having a 3ß-hydroxy--lactonestructure. This activity is substantially enhanced by the additionalpresence of a 13-hydroxyl group. The substitution of a -lactoneor a -lactol for a -lactone results in reduced activity while3ß,13-dihydroxy GAs with either 20-carboxyl or 20-methylfunctions are completely inactive. The Tanginbozu dwarf ricebioassay responds to many more GAs than the barley aleuronesystem possibly because the rice seedlings can carry out extensiveGA interconversions. Under these circumstances GAs that areinactive per se can be metabolically converted to active forms.There is no interaction between the 3ß- and 13-hydroxyfunctions of GA molecules in the rice assay. Activity appearsto be determined by the degree oxidation of the C-20 group.The order of activity is usually -lactone > -lactol >-lactone > methyl > carboxyl. It is suggested this mayindicate that in rice seedlings C20-GAs are converted to C19-GAsvia a Baeyer-Villiger type oxidation. Activity in the dwarfpea bioassay is dependent upon GAs possessing both 3ß-and 13-hydroxyl groups and is again related to the state ofoxidation at the C-20 locus. In the lettuce bioassay activityis restricted to GAs with a -lactone function. In some instancesa -lactone, but not a -lactol, can substitute effectively. Thismay imply that the applied C20-GAs are not converted to C19-GAsand that the response to the -lactone results from the six-memberedring mimicking the -lactone at the receptor site. Only GAs havinga 19,10 or a 19,20 lactonic bridge show substantial activityin the cucumber bioassay. The additional presence of eithera 12- or a 13-hydroxyl group severely reduces activity. 相似文献

The deamidase enzyme system present in extracts of groundnutplant tissues has been studied. The distribution of the enzymewithin the different organs of the plant were determined, andsome of the properties of the enzyme present in leaf extractsare recorded. From its substrate specificity the enzyme is probablybest regarded as a -methyleneglutaininase, although it catalysesthe hydrolysis of glutamine at about one-fifth of the rate of-methyleneglutamine. The enzyme may play an important role inthe over-all nitrogen metabolism of the plant, as well as controllingthe relative concentrations of -methyleneglutamine and -methyleneglutamicacid in the different organs. The properties of the enzyme havebeen compared with those recorded in the literature of glutaminasesand asparaginases, and certain common features are apparent.The new deamidase was, however, more stable to certain denaturingtreatments than were the other types of deamidase. 相似文献

In a companion paper several methods of calculating the marginal unit water
cost of plant carbon gain (E/A) were tested to determine
whether stomata were behaving optimally in relation to regulating leaf gas
exchange. In this paper one method is applied to several tropical tree
species when leaf-to-air vapour pressure difference (D), photosynthetic
photon flux density, leaf temperature, and atmospheric soil water
availability were manipulated. The response of leaves that had expanded
during the dry season were also compared to that of leaves that had
expanded in the wet season. Few differences in absolute value of
E/A, or the form of the relationship, were observed
between species or between seasons. In the majority of species,
E/A increased significantly as either leaf-to-air vapour
pressure difference increased, at a leaf temperature of either 33C or 38C, or as in
photosynthetic photon flux density increased. In contrast, as leaf
temperature increased at constant D, E/A was generally
constant. As pre-dawn water potential declined, E/A
declined. The relationship between E/A and D did not
differ whether internal or ambient carbon dioxide concentration were kept
constant. It is concluded that stomata are only behaving optimally over a
very small range of D. If a larger range of D is used, to incorporate
values that more closely reflect those experienced by tropical trees in a
savanna environment optimization is incomplete.Key
words: Stomatal optimization theory, marginal unit water cost.

With the aim of determining the level at which ageing exerts its effect on
the expression of -amylase, GA3 regulation
of -amylase production was studied in
isolated aleurone layers from aged wheat seeds. GA3-induced
-amylase activity was lower in the tissue from aged seeds than in
controls. However, the proportion of 35S-methionine
incorporated into -amylase was higher in the aged than in control
tissue. The pattern of -amylase isoforms was resolved by
isoelectric focusing and showed that two isogroups were present with the
activity of the high-pI isogroup being higher in the control than in the
aged lot. These apparently contradictory results may be explained in terms
of differences in isozyme expression. Studies on the expression of
-amylase genes indicated a reduction in the level of high-pI mRNA
in aged tissue. Dose-response curves showed lower GA3-responsiveness of
aleurone layers from aged seeds as compared to the controls. From these
results, it is proposed that the diminished capacity of -amylase
production in aleurone from aged seeds is apparently due to a decrease in
the expression of the high-pI -amylase genes, and this reduction
is associated with a decrease in the response to GA3.Key
words: Seed ageing, wheat aleurone, gibberellic acid,
-amylase isozymes, gene expression.

Effects of Priming and Endosperm Integrity on Seed Germination Rates of Tomato Genotypes: II. GERMINATION AT REDUCED WATER POTENTIAL 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Seed germination rates (GR =inverse of time to germination)are sensitive to genetic, environmental, and physiological factors.We have compared the GR of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)seeds of cultivar T5 to those of rapidly germinating L. esculentumgenotypes PI 341988 and PI 120256 over a range of water potential(). The influence of seed priming treatments and removal ofthe endosperm/testa cap enclosing the radicle tip on germinationat reduced were also assessed. Germination time-courses atdifferent 's were analysed according to a model that identifieda base, or minimum, allowing germination of a specific percentage(g) of the seed population (b(g)), and a hydrotime constant(H) indicating the rate of progress toward germination per MPa.h.The distribution of b(g) determined by probit analysis was characterizedby a mean base (b) and the standard deviation in b among seeds(b). The three derived parameters, b, b) and H, were sufficientto predict the time-courses of germination of intact seeds atany . A normalized time-scale for comparing germination responsesto reduced is introduced. The time to germination at any (tg())can be normalized to be equivalent to that observed in water(tg(0)) according to the equation tg(0)=[l(/b(g))]tg().PI 341988 seeds were more tolerant of reduced and had a morerapid GR than T5 seeds due to both a lower b and a smaller H.The rapid germination of PI 120256, on the other hand, couldbe attributed entirely to a smaller H. Seed priming (6 d in1.2 MPa polyethylene glycol 8000 solution at 20 ?C followedby drying) increased GR at all >b(g), but did not lower theminimum allowing germination; i.e. priming reduced H withoutlowering b. Removing the endosperm/testa cap (cut seeds) markedlyincreased GR and lowered the mean required to inhibit germinationby 0.7 to 0.9 MPa. However, this resulted primarily from downwardadjustment in b during the incubation of cut seeds at low inthe test solutions. The difference in b between intact and cutseeds incubated at high was much less (0.l MPa), indicatingthat at the time of radicle protrusion, the endosperm had weakenedto the point where it constituted only a small mechanical barrier.In the intact seed, endosperm weakening and the downward adjustmentin embryo b ceased at < 0.6 MPa, while the reductionin H associated with priming proceeded down to at least 1.2MPa. Based on these data and on the pressure required to pushthe embryos from the seeds at various times after imbibition,it appears that the primary effect of priming was to shortenthe time required for final endosperm weakening to occur. However,as priming increased GR even in cut seeds, priming effects onthe embryo may control the rate of endosperm weakening.

The role of solute accumulation, osmotic adjustment and changes in cell wall elasticity in drought tolerance in Ziziphus mauritiana (Lamk.) 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk.) is a major fruit tree
crop of the north-west Indian arid zone. In a study of the physiological
basis of drought tolerance in this species, two glasshouse experiments were
conducted in which trees were droughted during single stress-cycles. In the
first experiment, during a 13 d drying cycle, pre-dawn leaf water
(leaf) and osmotic () potentials in droughted
trees declined from -0.5 and -1.4 MPa to -1.7 and -2.2 MPa, respectively,
for a decrease in relative water content () of 14%. During
drought stress, changes in sugar metabolism were associated with
significant increases in concentrations of hexose sugars (3.8-fold),
cyclitol (scyllo-inositol; 1.5-fold), and proline (35-fold; expressed per
unit dry weight), suggesting that altered solute partitioning may be an
important factor in drought tolerance of Ziziphus. On
rewatering pre-dawn leaf and recovered fully, but
remained depressed by 0.4 MPa relative to control
values, indicating that solute concentration per unit water content had
changed during the drought cycle.Evidence for osmotic adjustment was
provided from a second study during which a gradual drought was imposed.
Pressure-volume analysis revealed a 0.7 MPa reduction in osmotic potential
at full turgor, with leaf at turgor loss depressed by 1 MPa in
drought-stressed leaves. Coupled with osmotic adjustment, during gradual
drought, was a 65% increase in bulk tissue elastic modulus (wall rigidity)
which resulted in turgor loss at the same in both stressed and
unstressed leaves. The possible ecological significance of maintenance of
turgor potential and cell volume at low water potentials for drought
tolerance in Ziziphus is discussed.Keywords:
Ziziphus mauritiana, drought, solute
accumulation, osmotic adjustment, proline.

The lupin seed glycoprotein conglutin was capable of bindingvarious exogenous and endogenous N-glycosylated proteins andalso specifically bound to a Sephadex G-75 column. The bindingactivity of conglutin was abolished by either addition of 10mM EDTA or by enzymic deglycosylation and acid treatment. Inthe latter case activity could be restored by the addition ofMn and Ca ions. Immunological homology at polypeptide level of conglutin withother legume lectins was found.

Phytosulphokine-{alpha}, a peptidyl plant growth factor, stimulates somatic embryogenesis in carrot 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Phytosulphokine- (PSK-) is the first chemically characterized peptide
that acts as a plant growth factor. It stimulates the proliferation of
asparagus and rice cells, but no information is yet available on its
effects on plant morphogenesis. The effects of PSK- on somatic
embryogenesis in carrot (Daucus carota L.) were
examined. PSK-, when added to the induction medium for somatic
embryogenesis, increased the number of somatic embryos. The chemical
analogues [2-5]PSK- and tyrosine sulphate ester (Tyr-SO3 H), which
have been used as negative controls in other systems, had no effect.
Moreover the proliferation of cells during somatic embryogenesis was also
enhanced by PSK- these results indicate that PSK-
enhanced cell division and, as a consequence, stimulated carrot somatic
embryogenesis. PSK- also stimulated the proliferation of
embryogenic cells in medium that contained 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid
(2,4-D), in which somatic embryos did not form, as well as the
proliferation of non-embryogenic cells (cells that had lost the ability to
form somatic embryos) in medium without 2,4-D. These results indicate that
PSK- has a stimulatory effect on cell division generally in carrot
cell cultures.Key words: Daucus carota, plant growth
factor, somatic embryogenesis, sulphated peptide.

Mastoparan analogues stimulate phospholipase C- and phospholipase D-activity in Chlamydomonas: a comparative study 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The G-protein activator mastoparan and its analogues are becoming popular
tools for studying signalling in plants. Therefore the abilities of
mastoparan, mas7, mas8, and mas17 to activate phospholipase C (PLC), PLD
and to induce the deflagellation response in Chlamydomonas
moewusii Gerloff were compared. The aim was to test whether
their relative potencies in a plant system resemble those reported for
bovine brain Go and Gi, as is generally assumed, and to determine at which
concentrations cells become permeabilized, a known effect of higher
concentrations. The concentrations at which 50% deflagellation was induced,
were 2.0 M mastoparan, 3.0 M mas8, 3.6 M mas7, and 5.8 M
mas17. Similar activities were found for the production of phosphatidic
acid, which is the result of the combined activities of PLD and PLC
(together with diacylglycerol kinase). PLD activity alone was measured
in vivo by its ability to phosphatidylate
n-butanol. Surprisingly, the concentrations that
stimulated maximum activity were about 10-fold lower (1
M) than those that stimulated maximum PLC activity (10
M). Mas17 was an exception with both maxima above 10 M.
All the compounds except mas17 permeabilized C.
moewusii cells. The concentrations at which 50% of the cells
were permeabilized to Evan's blue were 7.4 M mas8, 16.0 M
mas7 and 22.4 M mastoparan. In conclusion, only mastoparan itself
and the least active analogue mas17 induced maximum deflagellation, PLC and
PLD activities without permeabilizing the cells.Keywords:

The Structure and Functions of Xyloglucan 总被引:14,自引:1,他引:13
Xyloglucan is a polysaccharide found in the primary cell wallsof all higher plants examined. Its cellulose-like backbone,which is about 0.15 to 1.5 µm long, consists of 300 to3 000 ß-(14)-linked D-glucopyranose residues. About6075% (or, in grasses, about 3040%) of the glucoseresidues have side-chains attached to position 6. The majorside-chains are: D-xylopyranosyl--1 -, D-galactopyranosyl-ß-(12)-D-xylopyranosyl--I , L-arabinofuranosyl-(1 -2)-D-xylopyranosyl--1-, and (except in grasses) L.-fucopyranosyl--(1 -2)-D-galactopyranosyl-ß-(1-2)-D-xylopyranosyl--1-. There is some regularity in the distribution of these side-chainsalong the backbone. Xyloglucan plays two very different r?les in the control ofcell growth: (a) as a major building material of the wall [concentrationof xyloglucan in the wall in vivo 10% (w/v)] it probably directlydictates wall extensibility and, therefore, the rate of cellexpansion and (b) it can be broken down to a fucose-containingoligosaccharide which [at a concentration of 0.0000001% (w/v)]exerts a hormone-like anti-auxin effect on growth. In addition,xyloglucan lacking fucose is used by certain dicotyledonousseeds as a food reserve which is mobilized after germination.Xyloglucan is, therefore, the subject of considerable currentinterest in several apparently disparate areas of botany.
