The effect of cycloheximide (105 M) and cordycepin (104M) used as protein and RNA synthesis inhibitors, respectively,on auxin action in noncellulosic ß-glucan degradationof Avena coleoptile cell wall was investigated. Both depressedauxin-induced ßglucan degradation of the cell wallas well as auxin-induced elongation and cell wall loosening,suggesting that the process of ß-glucan degradationof the cell wall is closely associated with cell wall looseningand that auxin enhances the activity of an enzyme for ß-glucandegradation through de novo synthesis of RNA and protein butnot through activation of the enzyme in situ. Kinetic studywith the inhibitors showed that RNA metabolism involved in ß-glucandegradation was stimulated by auxin treatment of only 15 minwhile a longer lag phase (about 1 hr) existed for the synthesisof the enzyme.

RNA functional in auxin action was studied in the followingfour strains of yeasts differing in their sensitivity to auxin:KV2, diploid strain of Saccharomyces ellipsoideus irresponsiveto auxin but made responsive by gibberellic acid treatment;N55, auxinresponsive mutant derived from KV2; A2-0, diploidstrain of 5. cerevisiae irresponsive even when gibberellic acidis given; and A2N102, responsive mutant derived fromA20. The RNA fraction extracted from N55 and partitionedin a phenol layer sensitized KV2 to auxin. This kind of RNAwas not detected in KV2 cells. The functional RNA from N55 wasof low molecular weight, as was functional RNA isolated fromgibberellic acid-treated Jerusalem artichoke tuber. Gibberellicacid-treated KV2 cells have been known to contain RNA whichfunctions similarly to the RNA mentioned above. Both A20and A2N102 contained RNA which made KV2 cells responsiveto auxin. Some factors other than functional RNA may determinethe difference in the sensitivity to auxin between A20and A2N102. (Received August 20, 1968; ) 相似文献

The effects of applied ethylene on the growth of coleoptilesand mesocotyls of etiolated monocot seedlings (oat and maize)have been compared with those on the epicotyl of a dicot seedling(the etiolated pea). Significant inhibition of elongation by ethylene (10 µll1for 24 h) was found in intact seedlings of all three species,but lateral expansion growth was observed only in the pea internodeand oat mesocotyl tissue. The sensitivity of the growth of seedlingparts to ethylene is in the decreasing order pea internode,oat coleoptile and oat mesocotyl, with maize exhibiting theleast growth response. Although excised segments of mesocotyland coleoptile or pea internode all exhibit enhanced elongationgrowth in IAA solutions (1062 ? 105 moll1), no consistent effects were found in ethylene. Ethyleneproduction in segments was significantly enhanced by applicationof auxin (IAA, 105 mol l6 or less) in all tissuesexcept those of the eat mesocotyl. Segments of maize show a slow rate of metabolism of applied[2-14C]IAA (30 per cent converted to other metabolites within9 h) and a high capacity for polar auxin transport. Ethylene(10 µl l1 for 24 h) has little effect on eitherof these processes. The oat has a smaller capacity for polartransport than maize and the rate ef metabolism of auxin isas fast as in the pea (90 per cent metabolized in 6 h). Althoughethylene pretreatment does not change the rate of auxin metabolismin oat, there is a marked reduction in auxin transport. It is proposed that the insensitivity of maize seedlings toethylene is related to the supply and persistence of auxin whichcould protect the seedling against the effects of applied orendogenously produced ethylene. Although the mesocotyl of oatis sensitive to applied ethylene it may be in part protectedagainst ethylene in vivo by the absence of an auxin-enhancedethylene production system. The results are discussed in relationto a model for the auxin and ethylene control of cell growthin the pea. 相似文献

The auxin-responsive region (AuxRR) in the promoter of the parCgene was analyzed in transgenic tobacco plants in which the5' flanking region of the parC promoter was placed upstreamof the gene for rß-glucuronidase (GUS). The AuxRRwas located between nucleotides (nt) 226 and 54.Detailed dissection of this segment revealed that the presenceof the non-contiguous sequences from nt 226 to 151and from nt 84 to 54 was required for the expressionof the auxin responsiveness of the parC promoter. The sequencefrom nt 226 to 151 was found to contain a sequencewhich resembles the as-1 element in the 35S promoter of cauliflowermosaic virus (CaMV). Although it has been reported that theas-1 element is involved in auxin responsiveness [Liu and Lam(1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269: 668], we showed that introductionof a point mutation into the as-1-like sequence completely eliminatedauxin responsiveness, a result that suggests that the sequenceis indispensable for auxin responsiveness. However, the presenceof the as-1-like sequence alone was not sufficient for auxinresponsiveness, since the segment (nt 226 to 84)that included the as-1-like sequence failed to confer auxinresponsiveness on the core promoter. It is possible that thetwo separately located sequences play specific roles in interactionswith trans-factors that are required for the expression of theauxin responsiveness of the parC promoter.

The auxins contained in 5-mm. tips of horizontal Vicia fabaroots have been compared with those in tips of vertical rootsafter cold ethanol extraction, paper-chromatographic separation,and Avena mesocotyl bioassay. At about the time curvature commencesin horizontal roots there is a marked increase in the contentof an auxin corresponding to AP(ii) of pea roots(Rf 0.350.65 in isobutanol/methanol/water). There areindications that this is not due to its release from an inactivebound state but that it is either synthesized de novo or maybe converted from another auxin corresponding to AP(iii)of pea roots (Rf 0.751.0). The literature dealing with the auxins of geotropically stimulatedorgans is reassessed and it is concluded that, with the exceptionof the Avena coleoptile, there is very little evidence favouringa simple transport redistribution of auxin under gravity; themajority of the data favour an effect of gravity on auxin metabolism. 相似文献

The Elongation Response of Watermelon Hypocotyls to Indole-3-Acetic Acid: A Comparative Study of Excised Segments and Intact Plants 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Carrington, C. M. S. and Esnard, J. 1988. The elongation responseof watermelon hypocotyls to indole-3-acetic acid: a comparativestudy of excised segments and intact plants.J. exp. Bot39: 441450. The auxin-growth response along the hypocotyl of Citrullus lanatus(Thumb.) Mansf. seedlings was studied. In excised segments,promotion of elongation was seen in all zones at the concentrationsof IAA used (104102 mol m-3). In intactplants, only the most basal zone showed unequivocal IAA-extensionwhile in the most apical zone elongation was inhibited by auxin.This difference between segments and intact plants for apicalzones suggests a modifying effect of the apex and cotyledonson the growth response. Indeed, removal of the apex and colyledonsonly affected elongation in the zones adjacent to the excisionbut only in buffer-treated plants, not auxin-treated plants.Auxin supplied apically to the intact plant only resulted ina short-lived promotion of elongation whereas basally suppliedauxin gave a longer-lasting effect Zonal differences betweenauxin-promoted growth of excised segments suggests that sensitivityto auxin varies in the hypocotyl. The response of intact plantsto auxin was shown to be more complex than in segments. Thus,responses given by segments are poor indicators of auxin activityin intact plants.

The time course of xylem differentiation was determined in explantsof lettuce pith parenchyma (Lactuca sativa L. cv. Romana) culturedon Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium using different concentrationsof auxin (IAA) and one cytokinin (zeatin or kinetin). Increasinglevels of auxin from I mg 11 to 15 mg 11 in thepresence of a constant level of a cytokinin (zeatin or kinetin)yielded up to 10 mg 11 IAA, an increase in the numberof tracheary element formations. Cytokinin concentrations aboveand below o.1 mg 11 interacting with an optimal xylogenicamount of auxin inhibited xylogenesis. The IAA (10 mg 11)-zeatin(0.1 mg 11) treatment produced the greatest number oftracheids, while kinetin compared to zeatin did not producesuch an effect. The different effectiveness of zeatin and kinetinin inducing tracheary element formations was not due to a differentcapacity of the two cytokinins to stimulate cell division butit seems likely that zeatin, because of interaction with IAA,is more active than kinetin in the determination of the dividingcells in a specific type of cytodifferentiation. The IAA (10mg 11)-zeatin (0.1 mg 11) treatment produced about6.9 per cent tracheids with respect to cell division while IAA(10 mg 11)-kinetin (0.1 mg 11) produced 4.2 percent. These results are discussed with reference to the problemsof hormonal control of xylem differentiation. 相似文献

A concentration of 105 M tomatine had no effect on leakagefrom, or elongation of, wheat coleoptile segments, but consistentlyreduced IAA-enhanced extension growth by c. 50 per cent. Therewas no evidence of chemical interaction between the alkaloidand the auxin in solution, and IAA action was not affected bypre-treatment for up to 3 h with 105 M tomatine. Studieswith [2-14C]IAA revealed that 105 M tomatine did notinhibit uptake of auxin into segments. The effect of pre-treatingsegments for up to 3 h with IAA could be virtually nullifiedby 105 M tomatine, as could also IAA-induced changesin properties of coleoptile cell walls. Results are discussedin relation to the ability of tomatine to disrupt membrane functionand to current hypotheses implicating membranes in the primaryaction of auxin. 相似文献

A revised method has been described for assaying auxin by thegrowth of Triticum coleoptile sections. With additions of Ca(NO3)2104 and MgSO4 105 mol liter1 the sensitivityand accuracy have been increased. This is mainly due to Ca.The coleoptiles obviously suffer from Ca-deficiency. The importanceof a strict time schedule for manipulations is emphasiced. Theduration of the tests is limited to 6 hr.Indole-3-acetic acidcan be determined in concentrations down to 109mol liter1;from 1010 to 109mol liter1 the log-logrelation between concentration and growth is linear. Above 107mol liter1 elongation takes place under an abnormal increasein elastic extension, indicating that growth is limited by someunknown wallstabilizing factor. The interrelation between auxin,an anti-auxin and Ca are discussed. (Received May 8, 1973; ) 相似文献

A bound, unextractable auxin, or auxin precursor, in the primaryleaves of dwarf French bean was converted to a form, probablyindol-3yl-acetic acid, extractable in ethyl acetate, by maceratingleaves in pH 7.5 phosphate buffer and incubating them at 3738°C for 2 days in the presence of toluene or hibitane. Boilingthe leaves before macerating and incubating them prevented therelease of bound auxin. This bound auxin was also released whenmacerated leaves were hydrolysed with normal potassium hydroxideat 100° C for 2 hours. The amounts of free auxin and tryptophanin senescent primary leaves increased as their bound auxin andchlorophyll decreased. Removing the apical growing region immediatelyabove the node bearing the primary leaves delayed their senescenceand the conversion of their bound to free auxin. 相似文献

Cytokinin was found to be a controlling or limiting factor invessel regeneration around a wound in internodes of Coleus blumeiBenth. in which the endogenous cytokinin level was minimized.The cytokinin was applied in aqueous solution to the base ofexcised, mature internodes that had an active vascular cambium.Each internode also received IAA in lanolin at its apical end.Under low (0.1 %, w/w) or high (10%, w/w) auxin concentrations,the control internodes (without exogenous cytokinin) exhibitedsmall amounts of vessel regeneration. At appropriate concentrationszeatin, kinetin and 6-benzylamino-purine (BAP) induced a significantincrease in vessel regeneration around the wound. The threecytokinins also induced novel patterns of supplementary regenerationfurther from the wound surface. Kinetin and BAP showed the strongestpromoting effect at 5 and 10 µg ml1, while zeatinwas most effective at 20 µg ml1. At a low (0.1%) auxin level zeatin was the most effective cytokinin, whereaskinetin was the most effective one at high (1 %) auxin. An inhibitoryeffect on vessel regeneration was observed at the highest kinetinconcentration tested (50 µg ml1). The regenerationof vessels induced by cytokinin was very polar. Many more regeneratedvessel members differentiated below the wound than above it,and the regeneration process proceeded acropetally from thebase of the internode to its upper parts. Our results implya basipetal polar increase in cambium responsiveness along thestem axis from internode 5 to 7. The possible significance ofsuch a basipetal increase in cambium sensitivity in wood formationin trees is discussed.

Various autonomous cultured tobacco cells including crown gallwere examined for their contents of growth regulators by meansof Avena curvature test, cell-division induction test, and tobaccopith callus test. The crown gall cells derived from cv. Hicks produced auxin andcytokinin in the high levels of 300500 µg IAA equivalentsand 4080 µg kinetin equivalents per kg, respectively.The major auxin was identified as indole-3-acetic acid basedon mass spectrometry and gas chromatography. These cells alsoproduced methyl indole-3-acetate as a minor component. One ofthe cytokinins was identified as ribosyl-trans-zeatin by meansof both gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and high performanceliquid chromatography. Auxin and cytokinin activities were not detected in the followingthree suspension cultured tobacco cells: cells requiring neithercytokinin nor auxin derived from the callus of N. tabacum cv.Bright Yellow and cells requiring auxin but not cytokinin derivedfrom the calluses of cv. Bright Yellow and cv. Hicks. Theirauxin and cytokinin contents per kg were less than 1 µgIAA equivalent and less than 0.1 µg kinetin equivalent,respectively. The results obtained in this study indicate that enhanced hormonalcontent is not the only reason for autonomous growth. (Received August 16, 1979; ) 相似文献

A Possible Double Role for Brassinolide in the Reorientation of Cortical Microtubules in the Epidermal Cells of Azuki Bean Epicotyls 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Brassinolide, at 108M or higher, enhanced the elongationof epicotyl segments from azuki bean seedlings that was inducedby IAA, but it did not enhance the increase in fresh weightof the segments, an indication that brassinolide suppressedthe lateral expansion of the segments. The additional elongationcaused by brassinolide was completely prevented in the presenceof 105 M cremart, which disrupted the cortical microtubules(MTs) in epidermal cells in the segments, and in the presenceof 106M 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile, an inhibitor of thesynthesis of cellulose. Brassinolide at 107M, appliedtogether with IAA, increased the percentage of epidermal cellswith transversely oriented cortical MTs. Brassinolide appearsto enhance the longitudinal expansion and suppress the lateralexpansion of epicotyl cells by organizing cortical MTs transverselyto the cell axis and, thereby, causing the deposition of cellulosemicrofibrils in the same orientation. Brassinolide by itself, at 108M or higher, induced theelongation of epicotyl segments and the elongation caused bybrassinolide was partially prevented by 105M cremart,results that suggest that brassinolide regulates cell expansionvia at least two processes, an MT-dependent process and an MT-independentprocess. Brassinolide by itself increased the percentage ofepidermal cells with transversely oriented cortical MTs. Since,in azuki bean epicotyls, the percentage of cells with transverseMTs is increased only by the combination of auxin and gibberellinbut not by either alone, brassinolide applied alone seems toplay a double role, similar to that of auxin and of gibberellin,in organizing cortical MTs.

The present study investigates the effects of triacontanol (CH3(CH2)28CH2OH),on plant growth (root and stem), peroxidase activity (apicalmeristem tissue), and auxin destruction (apical meristem tissue)in Little Marvel dwarf (LM) and Alaskapeas (AP). Triacontanol inhibited root growth in LM comparedto untreated controls. However, root growth in AP tissue wasenhanced by 1.0 mg I1 triacontanol and inhibited by allother treatments, in comparison to untreated controls. Wateruptake in triacontanol-treated AP plants was greater than inuntreated controls, with the converse being the case for LM.Triacontanol treatment caused an increase in peroxidase activityin both LM and AP plants compared to untreated controls. Interms of (114C)IAA destruction, GA3 + 0.01 mg 11triacontanol caused appreciable auxin breakdown (40%) in LMtissue, with GA3 + 0.1 mg 11 triacontanol giving a 43%decrease compared to untreated controls. In AP tissue, 10 µMGA3 increased auxin destruction by 188% whereas 0.1 mg I1triacontanol caused a 20% decrease compared to untreated controls.The effects of triacontanol on root and stem growth, peroxidaseactivity, and auxin destruction appear to be cultivar-specific,with respect to LM and AP varieties of peas. 相似文献

During the course of a 4-d culture period, explants of Jerusalemartichoke tuber were exposed to auxin (0.2 mg 11 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyaceticacid), and cytokinin (5.0 mg 11 benzyl-amino purine),under a range of sequential regimes, to study the influenceof each hormone on tracheary element formation. The resultsindicate that auxin was necessary early in the culture periodand was primarily involved in cell proliferation. Cytokininstimulated xylogenesis when present late in the culture period,concomitant with the phase of cytodifferentiation, but not whenrestricted to the early period. The implications for a sustainedperiod of commitment to differentiation are discussed. Xylem differentiation, Jerusalem artichoke, auxin, cytokinin, tissue culture 相似文献

The relationship between the induction of tracheary elementdifferentiation and exogenous L-methionine was examined in agar-growncultures of soya bean callus initiated from Glycine max L. Wayneand Clark 63. Although Wayne is a normal cultivarsoya bean, seedlings of Clark 63 exhibit abnormal growth at25 °C due to exessive ethylene biosynthesis at this temperature.Wayne callus showed increased xylogenesis in the presence ofexogenous L-methionine (3.7 µg 11) in comparisonto IAAKN controls at both 20 and 25 °C. Clark 63callus produced greater numbers of tracheary elements in responseto exogenous L-methionine only at 25 °C. The induction ofxylem differentiation was independent of the maintenance temperatureof the stock cultures of both cultivars. Xylogenesis initiatedbyan IAAKN medium was inhibited by the addition of AgNO3(20 mg 11) to the extent of 76.5 per cent in cv. Wayneand 6 per cent in cv. Clark 63. The inhibitory effect was partiallyreversed by the addition of L-methionine (3.7 µg 11)to the IAAKNAgNO2 medium. These data support thehypothesis that xylogenesis in vitro involves auxin, cytokininand ethylene. differentiation, xylogenesis, L-methionine, ethylene, Glycine max L., soya bean, callus culture, auxin, kinetin 相似文献

The onium compound 2(4-chlorophenylthio)-triethylamine(CPTA) was used to increase lycopene formation to levels approximatingthose in fieldor glasshousegrown fruit, and then growthregulators, sucrose and temperature were used to regulate lycopeneaccumulation. It was found that the native auxin indole3acetic acid (IAA) was substantially more effective than 2,4-dichlorophenoxyaceticacid (2,4D) in promoting lycopene formation, sucroseinhibited lycopene formation (cell basis), and temperature produceda pattern similar to that observed in the field with a temperatureoptimum between 18 and 26 C.

An investigation has been made into the growth regulators presentin ethanol extracts of the seedling roots of Vicia faba afterseparation on paper partition chromatograms, using segmentsof Avena coleoptiles and mesocotyls and of Pisum sativum.rootsas biological assay material. Acetonitrile purification shows the presence of at least threeauxins running in isobutanol: methanol: water, at Rfs of 00·25,0·40·6, and 0·650·95;the latter may represent two different auxins. A similar, butclearer, picture is shown by the ether-soluble acid fraction.Here an auxin at Rf 00·25 also stimulates rootgrowth and could be accelerator . A second atRf 00·25 is an indole compound which inhibitsroot growth and does not seem to be be IAA. A third at Rf 0·81·0is also a root-growth inhibitor and gives no indole reaction.The inhibitor ß complex was demonstrated(Rf 0·650·85) together with a number ofother inhibitors at lower Rf value. The ether-soluble neutral component also contains auxins orauxin precursors. The water-soluble, ether-insoluble fraction contains four readilyinterconvertible substances with auxin properties. They allappear to inhibit root growth and give no indole reaction. 相似文献

The effect of morphactin (methyl 2-chloro-9-hydroxyfluorene-9-carboxylate)on basipetal transport of auxin (Indol-3-ylacetic acid-2-14C)was studied in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) hypocotyl with thedonor-receiver block method. Morphactin (5 x 106m) reduced IAA (5 x 106m) transportintensity by an average of 83 per cent and auxin transport capacityby 90 per cent, but transport velocity was not affected. Morphactin did not inhibit uptake of IAA into hypocotyl tissue,but it did prevent transfer of IAA from the tissue into receiverblocks. Chromatographic analysis of the tissue after 4 h IAA-2-14Ctransport showed that 54 per cent of the total activity wasin the form of IAA in the control and 42 per cent in the morphactintreated tissue. No difference was found in the rate of decarboxylationof IAA-1-14C between control and morphactin treated tissue sections.Nor could any difference between control and morphactin be shownin the radioactivity associated with a TCA ppt fraction. Ina study of the transportable auxin pool, morphactin decreasedthe size of the pool and increased the half-life of decay ofauxin transport from 122 h to 385 h. In a kineticanalysis of the reversal of morphactin (5 x 106m) inhibitionby increasing concentration of IAA-2-14C (5 x 106m to2 x 105m), it was shown that IAA transport resemblesMichaelis-Menten enzyme reaction kinetics, and that inhibitionby morphactin fitted a mixed type model. IAA hada dissociation constant of 85 x 106m and morphactinthat of 43 x 107m with a Km for the transport processof 85 x 106m. 相似文献

As with other regeneration processes, adventitious root formationmay be divided into three phases, namely dedifferentiation,induction and differentiation. We assumed that the appropriatehormonal conditions for rooting, in particular a high levelof auxin and a low level of cytokinin, are required only duringthe induction phase. Hence, the effect of 24 h pulses with indolebutyricacid (IBA) or benzylaminopurine (BAP) should be maximal duringthis phase. On this assumption, the timing of the three phaseswas determined in microcuttings of Malus Jork 9.The promotion of rooting was largest for 24 h IBA-pulses given2448 h or 4872 h after the onset of culture. Duringculture of shoots on IBA-containing medium 24 h BAP-pulses weregiven. Inhibition of rooting was maximal for the BAP-pulsesgiven between 24 and 96 h. An analysis of the kinetics of rootemergence also indicated that added IBA acted from 24 h onwards:emergence of roots from the tissue occurred simultaneously forthe IBA pulses at 024 h and 2448 h, but lagged1 d behind for the 4872 h pulse and 2 d for the 7296h pulse. We concluded that dedifferentiation occurred from 0to 24 h, induction from 24 to 72 or 96 h, and after that differentiation.Histological observations showed that after 24 h, cells withswollen nuclei and dense cytoplasm had appeared in the regionsof the stem where the roots were formed. The first cell divisionswere observed after 48 h. After 96 h, meristemoids of c. 30cells had been formed. After the BAP-pulses at 2448 hor 4872 h, these meristematic cells formed callus.
