Separation and quantitation of polyamines from unpollinated pea (Pisum sativum L.) ovaries and young fruits induced by application of gibberellic acid to unpollinated ovaries showed, in both cases, a decrease in putrescine and spermidine levels between anthesis and 4 d later. By contrast, spermine levels increased prior to the onset of senescence of the unpollinated ovaries (3 d post anthesis) and decreased during fruit development. Low levels of putrescine, spermidine and spermine were also observed in young fruits obtained by self-pollination and by treatment of unpollinated ovaries with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. In-vitro culture of ovary explants in a medium containing spermine showed that a reduction of the growth of gibberellic acid-treated unpollinated ovaries was associated with a rise in the level of spermine in the fruits. The results obtained indicate that changes in spermine levels are involved in the control of ovary senescence and of fruit set and development.Abbreviations BA benzyladenine - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophen-oxyacetic acid - GA3 gibberellic acid - HPLC high-performance liquid chromatography  相似文献

The modulation of the expression of thiol proteases during both senescence and development was investigated Proteolytic activity and some thiol proteases were analyzed in unpollinated tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Rutgers) ovaries during presenescence and during early fruit development induced by treatment with gibberellic acid (GA) or by natural pollination. Proteolytic activity in extracts was tested on azocasein and by observing degradation of the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase large subunit in western blots. There was no correlation between total activity and protein content. Thiol proteases were analyzed by western blot with antibodies raised against papain and a recombinant tomato C14 thiol protease. A 58-kDa polypeptide was recognized by both antibodies and two more polypeptides of 47 and 36 kDa were detected with the second one. All these polypeptide levels increased in untreated unpollinated ovaries at the presenescent stage. Natural pollination or GA treatment of unpollinated ovaries resulted in decreases of these polypeptides at an early developmental stage. The same pattern was observed for the levels of C14 mRNA. Our results suggest that the expression of C14 thiol protease occurs in unpollinated ovaries at the presenescent stage and that it can be suppressed by factors that induce fruit set and development.  相似文献

The role and source of gibberellins (GAs) involved in the development of parthenocarpic fruits of Pisum sativum L. has been investigated. Gibberellins applied to the leaf adjacent to an emasculated ovary induced parthenocarpic fruit development on intact plants. The application of gibberellic acid (GA3) had to be done within 1 d of anthesis to be fully effective and the response was concentration-dependent. Gibberellin A1 and GA3 worked equally well and GA20 was less efficient. [3H]Gibberellin A1 applied to the leaf accumulated in the ovary and the accumulation was related to the growth response. These experiments show that GA applied to the leaf in high enough concentration is translocated to the ovary. Emasculated ovaries on decapitated pea plants develop without application of growth hormones. When [3H] GA1 was applied to the leaf adjacent to the ovary a substantial amount of radioactivity accumulated in the growing shoot of intact plants. In decapitated plants, however, this radioactivity was mainly found in the ovary. There it caused growth proportional to the accumulation of CA1. Application of LAB 150978, an inhibitor of GA biosynthesis, to decapitated plants inhibited parthenocarpic fruit development and this inhibition was counteracted by the application of GA3 (either to the fruit, or the leaf adjacent to the ovary, or through the lower cut end of the stem). All evidence taken together supports the view that parthenocarpic pea fruit development on topped plants depends on the import of gibberellins or their precursors, probably from the vegetative aerial parts of the plant.Abbreviations FW flesh weight - GAn gibberellin An - HPLC high-performance liquid chromatography  相似文献

Previous analysis of the MAP kinase homologue from Pisum sativum (PsMAPK) revealed a potential MAP kinase motif homologous to that found in eukaryotic cdc2 kinases. Sequence comparison showed a 47% identity on amino acid sequence basis to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Hog 1p MAP kinase involved in the osmoregulatory pathway. Under conditions of salt-stress aberrant morphology of a hog1 deletion mutant was completely restored and growth was partially restored by expression of the PsMAPK. This shows that PsMAPK is functionally active as a MAP kinase in S. cerevisiae. Comparison of PsMAPK with other kinases involved in osmosensitivity, showed a high degree of homology and implicates a possible role for PsMAPK in a P. sativum osmosensing signal transduction pathway.  相似文献

Clones encoding a thiolprotease (tpp) have been isolated from a cDNA library of unpollinated, senescent pea ovaries and its pattern of expression during both ovary senescence and parthenocarpic development have been studied. The sequence of the tpp cDNA displays a high similarity with other plant and animal thiolproteases of the papain group. The homology is highest around the Cys-His of the active centre; a 109 amino acid sequence at the carboxy terminus was found to be homologous only to thiolproteases of plant origin; this part of the mRNA is also present in another pea mRNA that exhibits similar patterns of induction. tpp mRNA shows a temporal pattern of accumulation that precedes that observed for proteolytic activity. Such accumulation did not occur when ovaries were induced to grow parthenocarpically by gibberellic acid (GA) treatment; furthermore the initial low level of expression present in ovaries decreased after GA treatment, indicating that the gene is down-regulated by gibberellins. Spatially, tpp mRNA is localized mainly within the ovule and ovary vascular elements, and transiently within the endocarp of senescent ovaries. This pattern of expression precedes the development of the cytopathogenic effects observed as unpollinated ovaries undergo senescence.  相似文献

The response of unpollinated ovary explants ofPisum sativum L. cv. Alaska No. 7 to several plant growth regulators and nutrients has been studied. Explants consisted of a segment of stem and an emasculated flower with or without the adjacent leaf. They were made on the day equivalent to anthesis and were cultured in a liquid medium. Growth regulators were applied either in the solution or directly to the ovaries. Giberellic acid (GA3) in the presence of sucrose, but not indole-3-acetic acid or N6-(Δ2-isopentenyl)-adenine (2iP), induced fruit set and development of parthenocarpic fruits, the final length of these being a function of the intensity of the GA3 treatment. The capacity of ovaries to respond fully to GA3 was not lost after incubation of explants in water or 50 mM sucrose for 1 day and was similar in explants made between the day of anthesis and 3 days later. Limited growth was obtained with 100 mM sucrose alone but this effect was counteracted by 2′-isopropyl-4′-(trimethyl ammonium chloride)-5′-methylphenyl piperidine-1-carboxylate (AMO-1618). This inhibitor was ineffective when GA3 was applied to the ovary. The development of the fruit was proportional to the length of the segment of stem up to 5 cm. The presence of the leaf in the explant enhanced the development of the fruit. These results indicate that a gibberellin is necessary for setting and development of fruits from cultured ovaries and that this effect depends on an appropriate source of nutrients. The course of development of parthenocarpic fruits on explants was similar to that of seeded fruits on the intact plant. The cultured pea ovary systemoffers convenient means to investigate the role of gibberellins and nutrients in fruit set and development.  相似文献

We studied the effect of salicylic acid (SA) treatment on the response of pea plants to salinity. Sodium chloride (NaCl)-induced damage to leaves was increased by SA, which was correlated with a reduction in plant growth. The content of reduced ascorbate and glutathione in leaves of salt-treated plants increased in response to SA, although accumulation of the respective oxidised forms occurred. An increase in hydrogen peroxide also occurred in leaves of salt-exposed plants treated with SA. In the absence of NaCl, SA increased ascorbate peroxidase (APX; 100 μm) and glutathione-S transferase (GST; 50 μm) activities and increased catalase (CAT) activity in a concentration-dependent manner. Salinity decreased glutathione reductase (GR) activity, but increased GST and CAT activity. In salt-stressed plants, SA also produced changes in antioxidative enzymes: 100 μm SA decreased APX but increased GST. Finally, a concentration-dependent increase in superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was induced by SA treatment in salt-stressed plants. Induction of PR-1b was observed in NaCl-stressed plants treated with SA. The treatment with SA, as well as the interaction between salinity and SA treatment, had a significant effect on PsMAPK3 expression. The expression of PsMAPK3 was not altered by 70 mm NaCl, but was statistically higher in the absence than in the presence of SA. Overall, the results show that SA treatment negatively affected the response of pea plants to NaCl, and this response correlated with an imbalance in antioxidant metabolism. The data also show that SA treatment could enhance the resistance of salt-stressed plants to possible opportunistic pathogen attack, as suggested by increased PR-1b gene expression.  相似文献

Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) is an obligate biotrophic fungus that causes the destructive wheat stripe rust disease worldwide. Due to the lack of reliable transformation and gene disruption method, knowledge about the function of Pst genes involved in pathogenesis is limited. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) genes have been shown in a number of plant pathogenic fungi to play critical roles in regulating various infection processes. In the present study, we identified and characterized the first MAPK gene PsMAPK1 in Pst. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that PsMAPK1 is a YERK1 MAP kinase belonging to the Fus3/Kss1 class. Single nucleotide polymerphisms (SNPs) and insertion/deletion were detected in the coding region of PsMAPK1 among six Pst isolates. Real-time RT-PCR analyses revealed that PsMAPK1 expression was induced at early infection stages and peaked during haustorium formation. When expressed in Fusarium graminearum, PsMAPK1 partially rescued the map1 mutant in vegetative growth and pathogenicity. It also partially complemented the defects of the Magnaporthe oryzae pmk1 mutant in appressorium formation and plant infection. These results suggest that F. graminearum and M. oryzae can be used as surrogate systems for functional analysis of well-conserved Pst genes and PsMAPK1 may play a role in the regulation of plant penetration and infectious growth in Pst.  相似文献

A thiol-endoprotease induced during the senescence of unpollinated ovaries of Pisum sativum L. cv. Alaska has been localized at both cellular and subcellular levels using purified antibodies. Immunoblot analysis showed a single band of 30 kDa in extracts from senescent ovaries 3 and 4 days post-anthesis. Immunolocalization showed the accumulation of the protease within the exocarp and in the outer cell layers of the mesocarp of the senescent ovaries, although with an asymmetric distribution as illustrated in transverse sections. Ultrastructural localization indicates that the protease is associated with the tonoplast and with electron dense materials within the vacuole, where lysis of cell components occurs in senescent ovaries.  相似文献
