In Arabidopsis four root-expressed AMT genes encode functional ammonium transporters, which raises the question of their role in primary ammonium uptake. After pre-culturing under nitrogen-deficiency conditions, we quantified the influx of (15)N-labeled ammonium in T-DNA insertion lines and observed that the loss of either AMT1;1 or AMT1;3 led to a decrease in the high-affinity ammonium influx of approximately 30%. Under nitrogen-sufficient conditions the ammonium influx was lower in Columbia glabra compared with Wassilewskija (WS), and AMT1;1 did not contribute significantly to the ammonium influx in Col-gl. Ectopic expression of AMT1;3 under the control of a 35S promoter in either of the insertion lines amt1;3-1 or amt1;1-1 increased the ammonium influx above the level of their corresponding wild types. In transgenic lines carrying AMT-promoter-GFP constructs, the promoter activities of AMT1;1 and AMT1;3 were both upregulated under nitrogen-deficiency conditions and were localized to the rhizodermis, including root hairs. AMT gene-GFP fusions that were stably expressed under the control of their own promoters were localized to the plasma membrane. The double insertion line amt1;1-1amt1;3-1 showed a decreased sensitivity to the toxic ammonium analog methylammonium and a decrease in the ammonium influx of up to 70% relative to wild-type plants. These results suggest an additive contribution of AMT1;1 and AMT1;3 to the overall ammonium uptake capacity in Arabidopsis roots under nitrogen-deficiency conditions. 相似文献

Several studies have previously shown that shoot removal of forage species, either by cutting or herbivore grazing, results
in a large decline in N uptake (60%) and/or N2 fixation (80%). The source of N used for initial shoot growth following defoliation relies mainly on mobilisation of N reserves
from tissues remaining after defoliation. To date, most studies investigating N-mobilisation have been conducted, with isolated
plants grown in controlled conditions. The objectives of this study were for Lolium perenne L., grown in a dense canopy in field conditions, to determine: 1) the contribution of N-mobilisation, NH4
+ uptake and NO3
- uptake to growing shoots after defoliation, and 2) the contribution of the high (HATS) and low (LATS) affinity transport
systems to the total plant uptake of NH4
+ and NO3
-. During the first seven days following defoliation, decreases in biomass and N-content of roots (34% and 47%, respectively)
and to a lesser extent stubble (18% and 43%, respectively) were observed, concomitant with mobilisation of N to shoots. The
proportion and origin of N used by shoots (derived from reserves or uptake) was similar to data reported for isolated plants.
Both HATS and LATS contributed to the total root uptake of NH4
+ and NO3
-. The Vmax of both the NH4
+ and NO3
- HATS increased as a function of time after defoliation, and both HATS systems were saturated by substrate concentrations
in the soil at all times. The capacity of the LATS was reduced as soil NO3
- and NH4
+ concentrations decreased following defoliation. Data from 15N uptake by field-grown plants, and uptake rates of NH4
+ and NO3
- estimated by excised root bioassays, were significantly correlated, though uptake was over-estimated by the later method.
The results are discussed in terms of putative mechanisms for regulating N uptake following severe defoliation.

Being the crucial step for rice transgenic manipulation, callus culture from mature seeds is severely restricted by browning
of induced calli, especially in the case of indica (Oryza Sativa L.) rice. Once this browning occurs, the callus will die and no embryonic calli can be obtained for regeneration. Here we
report an induction procedure that overcomes callus browning was found. To clarify the inheritance pattern of callus browning,
two reciprocal crosses F2 and two backcrosses BC1 were made between indica cultivar inbred lines 93-11 and YueTaiB (YTB) which produced normal and browning respectively in
the same induction medium. The ratio of browning to normal in the reciprocal F2 and backcross (BC1) populations tested was approximately 1:3 and 1:1, respectively, these results indicate that callus browning is controlled
by one single chromosomal locus which is tentatively named Ic1 (Induced callus 1). The genetic mapping of this locus was carried out using microsatellite markers (SSR) in a 216 extremely browning F2 seed callus. The analysis of genetic linkage indicated that one single locus that mapped to chromosome 1 was correlated to
callus browning, and the closest marker in this study was mapped within 1.9 cM from the target locus. 相似文献

Hexokinase (HXK) is a dual-function enzyme that both phosphorylates hexose to form hexose 6−phosphate and plays an important role in sugar sensing and signaling. To investigate the roles of hexokinases in rice growth and development, we analyzed rice sequence databases and isolated ten rice hexokinase cDNAs, OsHXK1 (Oryza sativa Hexokinase 1) through OsHXK10. With the exception of the single-exon gene OsHXK1, the OsHXKs all have a highly conserved genomic structure consisting of nine exons and eight introns. Gene expression profiling revealed that OsHXK2 through OsHXK9 are expressed ubiquitously in various organs, whereas OsHXK10 expression is pollen-specific. Sugars induced the expression of three OsHXKs, OsHXK2, OsHXK5, and OsHXK6, in excised leaves, while suppressing OsHXK7 expression in excised leaves and immature seeds. The hexokinase activity of the OsHXKs was confirmed by functional complementation of the hexokinase-deficient yeast strain YSH7.4-3C (hxk1, hxk2, glk1). OsHXK4 was able to complement this mutant only after the chloroplast-transit peptide was removed. The subcellular localization of OsHXK4 and OsHXK7, observed with green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion constructs, indicated that OsHXK4 is a plastid-stroma-targeted hexokinase while OsHXK7 localizes to the cytosol.Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material is available for this article at and is accessible for authorized users. 相似文献

A chimeric CaHAK1–LeHAK5 transporter with only 15 amino acids of CaHAK1 in the N-terminus mediates high-affinity K+ uptake in yeast cells. Kinetic and expression analyses strongly suggest that LeHAK5 mediates a significant proportion of
the high-affinity K+ uptake shown by K+-starved tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants. The development of high-affinity K+ uptake, putatively mediated by LeHAK5, was correlated with increased LeHAK5 mRNA levels and a more negative electrical potential difference across the plasma membrane of root epidermal and cortical
cells. However, this increase in high-affinity K+ uptake was not correlated with the root K+ content. Thus, (i) growth conditions that result in a hyperpolarized root plasma membrane potential, such as K+ starvation or growth in the presence of NH4
+, but which do not decrease the K+ content, lead to increased LeHAK5 expression; (ii) the presence of NaCl in the growth solution, which prevents the hyperpolarization induced by K+ starvation, also prevents LeHAK5 expression. Moreover, once the gene is induced, depolarization of the plasma membrane potential then produces a decrease
in the LeHAK5 mRNA. On the basis of these results, we propose that the plant membrane electrical potential plays a role in the regulation
of the expression of this gene encoding a high-affinity K+ transporter. 相似文献

Cloning and functional identification of two members of the ZIP (Zrt, Irt-like protein) gene family in rice (Oryza sativa L.) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Two ZIP (Zrt, Irt-like Protein) cDNAs were isolated from rice (Oryza sativa L.) by RT-PCR approach, and named as OsZIP7a and OsZIP8 respectively. The predicted proteins of OsZIP7a and OsZIP8 consist of 384 and 390 amino acid residues respectively, and display
high similarity to other plant ZIP proteins. Each protein contains eight transmembrane (TM) domains and a highly conserved
ZIP signature motif, with a histidine-rich region in the variable region between TM domains III and IV. By semi-quantitative
RT-PCR approach, it was found that the expression of OsZIP7a was significantly induced in rice roots by iron-deficiency, while that of OsZIP8 induced in both rice roots and shoots by zinc-deficiency. When expressed in yeast cells, OsZIP7a and OsZIP8 could complement
an iron-uptake-deficient yeast mutant and a zinc-uptake-deficient yeast mutant respectively. It suggested that the OsZIP7a and OsZIP8 might encode an iron and a zinc transporter protein in rice respectively.

Herbicide-resistant rice cultivars allow selective weed control. A glufosinate indica rice has been developed locally. However, there is concern about weedy rice becoming herbicide resistant through gene flow.
Therefore, assessment of gene flow from indica rice cultivars to weedy rice is crucial in Tropical America. A field trial mimicking crop–weed growing patterns was established
to assess the rate of hybridization between a Costa Rican glufosinate-resistant rice line (PPT-R) and 58 weedy rice accessions
belonging to six weedy rice morphotypes. The effects of overlapping anthesis, morphotype, weedy accession/PPT-R percentage,
and the particular weedy accession on hybridization rates were evaluated. Weedy rice accessions with short overlapping anthesis
(4–9 days) had lower average hybridization rates (0.1%) than long anthesis overlapping (10–14 days) accessions (0.3%). Hybridization
also varied according to weedy rice morphotype and accession. Sativa-like morphotypes (WM-020, WM-120) hybridized more readily than intermediate (WM-023, WM-073, WM-121) and rufipogon-like (WM-329) morphotypes. No hybrids were identified in 11 of the 58 accessions analyzed, 21 accessions had hybridization
rates from 0.01% to 0.09%, 21 had rates from 0.1% to 0.9%, and 5 had frequencies from 1% to 2.3%. Another field trial was
established to compare the weedy rice-PPT-R F1 hybrids with their parental lines under noncompetitive conditions. F1 hybrids had a greater phenotypic variation. They had positive heterosis for vegetative trait and reproductive potential (number
of spikelets and panicle length) traits, but negative heterosis for seed set. This study demonstrated the complexity of factors
affecting hybridization rates in Tropical America and suggested that the phenotype of F1 hybrids facilitate their identification in the rice fields. 相似文献

We have examined the complexity of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase kinase (PPCK) gene family in the C(4) monocots maize and sorghum. Maize contains at least four PPCK genes. The encoded proteins are similar to other phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) kinases, in that they comprise a protein kinase domain with minimal extensions, except that two of the proteins contain unusual acidic insertions. The spatial and temporal expression patterns of the genes provide information about their presumed functions. Expression of ZmPPCK1 in leaves is mesophyll cell-specific and light-induced, indicating that it encodes the PEPC kinase that is responsible for the phosphorylation of leaf PEPC during C(4) photosynthesis. Surprisingly, ZmPPCK2 is expressed in leaf bundle sheath cells, preferentially in the dark. This suggests that a main function of the ZmPPCK2 gene product is to allow PEPC to function anaplerotically in bundle sheath cells in the dark without interfering with the C(4) cycle. ZmPPCK2, ZmPPCK3 and ZmPPCK4 are all induced by exposure of tissue to cycloheximide, whereas ZmPPCK1 is not. This suggests that the ZmPPCK2, ZmPPCK3 and ZmPPCK4 genes share the property that their expression is controlled by a rapidly turning over repressor. Sequence and expression data show that sorghum contains orthologues of ZmPPCK1 and ZmPPCK2. 相似文献
