The photometric method was used to test a possibility proposed recently that a new photoreceptor with maximum activity at 620 nm is involved in mediating chloroplast rotation in Mougeotia (Z Lechowski, J Bialczyk [1988] Plant Physiol 88: 189-193). The hypothesis was tested under conditions of continuous dichromatic unilateral or mutually perpendicular irradiation with red light of wavelengths 620 or 660 (680) nanometers and far-red. When the red light was polarized parallel to the long cell axis, chloroplast response could be monitored by changing the direction of far-red irradiation. The level of the response obtained with red and far-red applied from the same direction depended on far-red intensity: at higher fluence rates the maximum response was shifted to longer wavelengths of red light. A high fluence rate of far-red inhibited the response. The absorption coefficients of Mougeotia chloroplasts were measured for the studied wave-lengths using the microphotometric method. Possible impact of absorption by the chloroplast on photoreception has been discussed. Current and previous results can be interpreted in terms of phytochrome action and do not support the involvement of the hypothetical 620 nanometer photoreceptor. 相似文献

An action spectrum for the low-fluencerate response of chloroplast movement in protonemata of the fern Adiantum capillus-veneris L. was determined using polarized light vibrating perpendicularly to the protonema axis. The spectrum had several peaks in the blue region around 450 nm and one in the red region at 680 nm, the blue peaks being higher than the red one. The red-light action was suppressed by nonpolarized far-red light given simultaneously or alternately, whereas the bluelight action was not. Chloroplast movement was also induced by a local irradiation with a narrow beam of monochromatic light. A beam of blue light at low energy fluence rates (7.3·10-3-1.0 W m-2) caused movement of the chloroplasts to the beam area (positive response), while one at high fluence rates (10 W m-2 and higher) caused movement to outside of the beam area (negative response). A red beam caused a positive response at fluence rates up to 100 W m-2, but a negative response at very high fluence rates (230 and 470 W m-2). When a far-red beam was combined with total background irradiation with red light at fluence rates causing a low-fluence-rate response in whole cells, chloroplasts moved out of the beam area. When blue light was used as background irradiation, however, a narrow far-red beam had no effect on chloroplast distribution. These results indicate that the light-oriented movement of Adiantum chloroplasts is caused by red and blue light, mediated by phytochrome and another, unidentified photoreceptor(s), respectively. This movement depends on a local gradient of the far-red-absorbing form of phytochrome or of a photoexcited blue-light photoreceptor, and it includes positive and negative responses for both red and blue light.Abbreviations BL

Summary Action spectra were determined in the UV region of the spectrum for the first phase of the phototactic response (stop response) and for the phytochrome pigment associated with this response in the dinoflagellate Gyrodinium dorsum Kofoid. Differences between these action spectra indicate the participation of two pigments in phototaxis. Following R (620 nm) irradiation of the phytochrome, the stop response maxima occur at 470 and 280-nm; after FR irradiation they shift to 490 and 300–310 nm. These maxima suggest that the photoreceptor pigment for phototaxis is a carotenoprotein. The action spectrum shift following the different phytochrome conversions may represent a trans to cis isomer change by the carotenoid. The absorption maximum of PR in the UV appears to be at 320 nm, which is consistent with the shift of the R absorption maximum to shorter wavelengths (620 nm) as compared to higher plants. The PFR absorption maximum appears as a broad band between 360 and 390 nm. Comparison of PR to PFR conversions by different intensities of 620-nm and 320-nm light indicates that at lower intensities the logarithm of the threshold for the stop response is inversely proportional to the logarithm of the intensity of the sensitizing light. The ratio of response activation by R and UV light is about 4:1.Abbreviations FR

The effect of daylength extension with narrow spectral bands on the flowering of a long-day plant, Brassica campestris L. cv. Ceres, was investigated to obtain clues to the identity of the photoreceptor involved. Extension of a 9 h photoperiod with 5 h of light pulses at various wavelengths resulted in maximal flowering occurring after irradiation at 710 nm, less at 730 nm, and none at 550, 660 and 750 nm. Flowering at 710 and 730 nm was negated by simultaneous exposures at 550 nm, but not at 660 nm. A short preirradiation at 660 nm enabled a following irradiation at 750 nm to induce flowering. This latter induction was prevented by 550 nm irradiation.
Short flashes of light at 710 nm induced flowering that was negated by a following flash at 550 nm but not at 660 nm. The negation by 550 nm radiation was prevented by subsequent flashes at 710 nm, indicating photoreversibility. A flash at 660 nm enabled subsequent light flashes at 750 nm to initiate flowering that was reversed by a following 550 nm flash.
From the results showing the necessity of red and far-red lights, it is proposed that flowering in this long-day plant is due to two photoreceptors - one is phytochrome and the other an unknown pigment with far-red, green photoreversible properties. By using fluence response data, it is deduced that the unidentified photoreceptor has weak absorption bands in the far-red, but has a strong absorption band in the green. Flowering is induced when effects of red light absorbed by phytochrome interact with effects of far-red light absorbed by the unidentified photoreceptor. 相似文献

Reorientation of microtubules at the outer epidermal wall of maize coleoptiles by phytochrome,blue-light photoreceptor,and auxin 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Summary The effects of red and blue light on the orientation of cortical microtubules (MTs) underneath the outer epidermal wall of maize (Zea mays L.) coleoptiles were investigated with immunofluorescent techniques. The epidermal cells of dark-grown coleoptiles demonstrated an irregular pattern of regions of parallel MTs with a random distribution of orientations. This pattern could be changed into a uniformly transverse MT alignment with respect to the long cell axis by 1 h of irradiation with red light. This response was transient as the MTs spontaneously shifted into a longitudinal orientation after 1–2 h of continued irradiation. Induction/reversion experiments with short red and far-red light pulses demonstrated the involvement of phytochrome in this response. In contrast to red light, irradiation with blue light induced a stable longitudinal MT alignment which was established within 10 min. The blue-light response could not be affected by subsequent irradiations with red or far-red light indicating the involvement of a separate blue-light photoreceptor which antagonizes the effect of phytochrome. In mixed light treatments with red and blue light, the blue-light photoreceptor always dominated over phytochrome which exhibited an apparently less stable influence on MT orientation. Long-term irradiations with red or blue light up to 6 h did not reveal any rhythmic changes of MT orientation that could be related to the rhythmicity of helicoidal cell-wall structure. Subapical segments isolated from dark-grown coleoptiles maintained a longitudinal MT arrangement even in red light indicating that the responsiveness to phytochrome was lost upon isolation. Conversely auxin induced a transverse MT arrangement in isolated segments even in blue light, indicating that the responsiveness to blue-light photoreceptor was eliminated by the hormone. These complex interactions are discussed in the context of current hypotheses on the functional significance of MT reorientations for cell development.Abbreviations MT

Detailed action spectra are presented for the inhibition of hypocotyl extension in dark-grown Sinapis alba L. seedlings by continuous (24 h) narrow waveband monochromatic light between 336 nm and 783 nm. The results show four distinct wavebands of major inhibitory action; these are centred in the ultra-violet (max=367 nm), blue (max=446 nm), red (max=653 nm) and far-red (max=712 nm) wavebands. Previous irradiation of the plants with red light (which also decreases Ptot) causes decreased inhibitory action by all wavelengths except those responsible for the red light inhibitory response. Pre-irradiation did not alter the wavelength of the action maxima. It is concluded that ultra-violet and blue light act mainly on a photoreceptor which is different from phytochrome.Abbreviations B

The interactions of green or red light with blue light on the dark closing of Albizzia julibrissin Durazz. pinnules have been investigated. Irradiations at 430, 450 and 470 nm progressively delay dark closing with increasing photon fluence rates. Red or green light alone has no effect. However, when the blue fluence rate is low, both red and green light interact with it and increase the delaying effect of the blue light. When the blue fluence rate is high, green light interacts with it to negate some of the effectiveness of the blue light, while red light has no effect. This is similar to results obtained previously with far-red light. It is suggested that the same unidentified photoreceptor is operating in both the far-red and blue regions. The results also indicate the presence of a blue-only absorbing photoreceptor whose action is increased by phytochrome. 相似文献

An interaction is demonstrated between the effects of phytochrome and cryptochrome (the specific blue-light photoreceptor) in the inhibition of hypocotyl elongation of light-grown cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cv. Ridge Greenline seedlings. At certain fluence rates of blue light the total inhibition response is greater than the sum of the separate responses to each photoreceptor. The threshold for response to blue light is reduced at least 30-fold by additional red-light irradiation. The synergistic effect is demonstrated for two different fluence rates of red light. Synergism is mediated by phytochrome in both the cotyledons and the hypocotyl.Abbreviations and symbols BL

The seeds (achenes) of Laportea bulbifera require a chilling to break their dormancy and are negatively photoblastic. Their germination is inhibited by both continuous blue light and continuous or prolonged far-red radiation. The germination of de-coated seeds, prepared by removing the fruit coats, however, was strongly inhibited by continuous far-red, but not by continuous blue light. Photoreversible germination by a brief irradiation with red light occurred when the chilled seeds were exposed to prolonged far-red light. These results suggest that far-red light may regulate the germination of L. bulbifera seeds through the phytochrome system which exists in the regions other than fruit coats and that the blue light reaction may be governed by other photoreceptor system(s). 相似文献

Treatment of the whole of aSinapis alba plant with supplementary far-red light (FR), in back-ground white light (WL), induces a rapid increase in stem extension rate. This rapid increase is regulated by the light environment of the stem itself. Supplementary FR to the stem increases extension rate after a lag period of 10–15 min. A lag period of 3–4 h follows FR irradiation of the leaf, before an increase in extension rate is detectable. When the stem is given supplementary FR, the change in extension rate which is induced increases with increasing FR fluence rate, and with decreasing phytochrome photoequilibrium. There is no difference between the effects of supplementary FR max 719 nm and supplementary FR max 739 nm for these relationships. The increase in extension rate induced by supplementary FR is reversed by an increase in the fluence rate of red light (R). These data indicate that the response is controlled by phytochrome photoequilibrium.Abbreviations B

Induction of flowering of etiolated Lemna paucicostata Hegelm. T-101, a short-day plant, was inhibited by far-red (FR) or blue light (BL) applied at the beginning of a 72-h inductive dark period which was followed by two short days. In either case the inhibition was reversed by a subsequent exposure of the plants to near-ultraviolet radiation (NUV), with a peak of effectiveness near 380 nm. Inhibition by BL or FR and its reversion by NUV are repeatable, i.e., NUV is acting in these photoresponses like red light although with much lower effectiveness. Thus, it is considered that NUV acts through phytochrome and no specific BL and NUV photoreceptor is involved in photocontrol of floral induction on this plant.Abbreviations BL

Protonemata of Onoclea sensibilis and Diyopteris filix-mas elongate in response to both red and far-red light. The promotion caused by far-red is larger than that caused by red light. This phenomenon differs from a typical response to phytochrome, the photoreceptor pigment immediately suggested by the activity of red and far-red light. The phenomenon has been explained by two different hypotheses, one of which holds that phytochrome is solely responsible for the response, whereas the other postulates an interaction between phytochrome and P580, a yellow-green light absorbing pigment, to account for the response. The hypothesis that phytochrome is the sole photoreceptor leads to some specific predictions concerning the shapes of the dose-response curves for light-induced protonema elongation. These predictions were tested with both continuous and short-term irradiation. In all instances saturating far-red light caused greater elongation than did saturating red light, and no dose of red light duplicated the activity of saturating far-red light. Other experiments tested the interactions of red and far-red light and the effects of different doses of yellow-green light on protonema elongation. The results of many of the experiments were not in agreement with the hypothesis that phytochrome is the sole photoreceptor, whereas they were in agreement with the assumption that filament elongation is controlled by both phytochrome and P580. 相似文献

Chlorophyll synthesis is stimulated by red light in the green alga Ulva rigida C. Ag. and in the red alga Porphyra umbilicalis (L.) Kützing. Because the effect of red light showed some far-red reversibility in successive red and far-red light treatments, the involvement of phytochrome or a phytochrome-like photoreceptor is suggested. The extent of the response is dependent on exposure and photon fluence rate of red-light pulses. In addition to the effect of red light, a strong stimulation of chlorophyll synthesis by blue light was only observed in Ulva rigida. The effect of blue light shows also some far-red reversibility. In the green alga the accumulated chlorophyll is higher after blue light pulses than after red light pulses. In Porphyra umbilicalis , however, the contrary is observed. In Ulva rigida the involvement of a blue light photoreceptor in addition to phytochrome or a phytochrome-like photoreceptor is proposed. The different responses to red and blue light in both algae are explained in terms of their adaptation to the natural light environment. 相似文献

Unilateral irradiation of maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings results in a fluence-rate gradient, and hence below saturation, a gradient of the far-red-absorbing form of phytochrome (Pfr). The Pfr-gradients established by blue, red and far-red light were spectrophotometrically measured in the mesocotyl. Based on these Pfr-gradients and the fluence-response curves of phytochrome photoconversion the fluence-rate gradients were calculated. The fluence-rate gradient in the blue (460 nm) was steeper than that in the red (665 nm), which in turn was steeper than that in the far-red light (725 nm). The fluence-rate ratios front to rear were 1:0.06 (460 nm), 1:0.2 (665 nm), and 1:0.33 (725 nm). The assumption that phytochrome-mediated phototropism of maize mesocotyls is caused by local phytochrome-mediated growth inhibition was tested in the following manner. Firstly, the Pfr response curve for growth inhibition was calculated; these calculations were based on measurements of Pfr-gradients and data from red-light-induced phototropism. Secondly, the Pfr response curve for growth inhibition was used as a basis for calculating fluence-response curves for blue-and far-red-light-induced phototropism. Finally, these calculated results were compared with experimental data. It was concluded that the threshold for phytochrome-mediated phototropism of maize mesocotyls reflects the apparent photoconversion cross section of phytochrome whereas the maximal inducable curvature depends on the steepness of the light (Pfr) gradient across the mesocotyl.Abbreviations Pfr

Brushite purified phytochrome from Avena sativa L. cv. Sol II was bound to phenyl Sepharose, octyl Sepharose, CNBr-activated Sepharose and to anti-phytochrome immunoglobulins immobilized on Sepharose. The spectral properties of phytochrome bound to anti-phytochrome immunoglobulins and to phenyl Sepharose were similar to phytochrome in solution. Phytochrome bound to CNBr-activated Sepharose or to octyl Sepharose showed reduced Pfr formation after red irradiation. The reversal to Pr with far-red light was only partial but a further increase at 667 nm took place slowly in the dark. A peak at 657 nm was seen in the difference spectrum between CNBr-activated Sepharose-bound phytochrome kept in darkness and the identical sample immediately after a far-red irradiation.
The change in linear dichroism at 660 nm and 730 nm, induced by plane polarized red or far-red light, was measured. It was computed that the long-wavelength transition moment of phytochrome had an average rotation angle of 31.5° or 180°–31.5°. The substrate used for immobilization had a limited effect on the rotation angle. Phytochrome immobilized on CNBr-activated Sepharose gave an angle of 27.8° and phytochrome immobilized on phenyl Sepharose gave an angle of 32.6°. 相似文献

After sowing, mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seedlings were grown for 48 h in white light (25°C). These fully de-etiolated, green seedlings were used as experimental material between 48 and 72 (84) h after sowing. The question researched was to what extent control by light of hypocotyl elongation is due to phytochrome in these seedlings. It was found that the light effect on hypocotyl growth is very probably exerted through phytochrome only. In particular, we found no indication for the involvement of a specific blue light photoreceptor pigment.Abbreviations HIR

Summary Protonemata of Physcomitrium were grown in a liquid medium of sucrose and mineral nutrients. Under these conditions, the filaments respond phototropically most readily to red and far-red irradiation by growing out on the apical flank nearest the light source. This response has been examined as a function of the angle of polarization for red (662 nm) and far-red (732 nm) light given singly and simulataneously. Results indicate that both red and far-red light, striking the growing cell surface perpendicularly, are absorbed independently of their angle of polarization. However, radiation striking the flank tangentially is absorbed if the plane of polarization (vibrational plane of the electric vector) is parallel to the cell surface but not if it is vertical to the cell surface. It is concluded that the active photoreceptors are dichroic and coin- or disc-shaped. Synergistic interaction between red and far-red irradiation supports the hypothesis that the photoreceptor is phytochrome and that the light growth response is proportional to the total quanta absorbed by the pigment and/or the consequent cycling of the phytochrome between the Pr and the Pjr states. No evidence was found for a difference in receptor orientation between the red and far-red absorbing states.Published with the approval of the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution.This work was carried out under partial support by the U.

Summary Using a 2-h irradiation period at constant quantum irradiance, a complete action spectrum for inhibition of germination of lettuce seed has been obtained. Action maxima were near 470 and 720 nm, the latter being the most active wavelength. It was also shown, under conditions where light inhibition cannot occur, that phytochrome potentiation of germination is maximal at all wavelengths below 700 nm, including the highly active blue region. Evidence was presented for promotion of germination by a 2-h irradiation in the red which cannot be explained on the basis of conversion of phytochrome to the active form.Abbreviations Bl

The action spectrum for polarotropism was determined, using the Okazaki large spectrograph, by brief irradiation with light between 260 nm and 850 nm in single-celled protonemata of the fern Adiantum capillus-veneris L., which had been cultured for 6 days in red light and then in the dark for 15 h. The action spectrum had a peak at around 680 nm. This effect was nullified by subsequent irradiaton with far-red light, and typical red/far-red reversibility was observed, indicating the involvement of phytochrome. Polarized ultraviolet or blue light had no effect on the direction of apical growth. The action spectrum for phototropism was also determined in the red light region by means of brief microbeam irradiation of a flank of the subapical region of the protonema. This spectrum showed a peak at 662 nm which was consistent with the absorption peak of phytochrome, but not with the peak of the action spectrum for polarotropism. 相似文献

The spectral control of hypocotyl elongation in light-grown Chenopodium rubrum L. seedlings has been studied. The results showed that although the seedlings responded to changes in the quantity of combined red and far-red radiation, they were also very sensitive to changes in the quantity of blue radiation reaching the plant. Altering the proportion of red: far-red radiation in broad waveband white light caused marked differences in hypocotyl extension. Comparison of the responses of green and chlorophyll-free seedlings indicated no qualitative difference in the response to any of the light sources used, although photosynthetically incompetent plants were more sensitive to all wavelengths. Blue light was found to act primarily of a photoreceptor which is different from phytochrome. It is concluded that hypocotyl extension rate in vegetation shade is photoregulated by the quantity of blue light and the proportion of red: far-red radiation. In neutral shade, such as that caused by stones or overlying soil, hypocotyl extension appears to be regulated primarily by the quantity of light in the blue waveband and secondarily by the quantity of light in the red and far-red wavebands.Abbreviations B
