该研究根据黄秋葵(Hibiscus esculentus L.)转录组测序获得的八氢番茄红素脱氢酶基因(HePDS)序列(GenBank登录号为MG372370)设计引物,克隆验证得到1条HePDS基因全长为2 020 bp cDNA,开放阅读框(ORF)包含1 686个碱基;预测其编码561个氨基酸,理论分子量为62.62 kD,等电点为8.155;编码的蛋白与海岛棉(Gossypium barbadense)、雷蒙德氏棉(Gossypium raimondii)、陆地棉(Gossypium hirsutum)同源蛋白的相似性均在93%以上,均含有1个保守的二核苷酸结合域和1个类胡萝卜素结合域,显示其高度的保守性。荧光定量PCR 分析表明,HePDS基因在黄秋葵根、茎、叶、花和果荚中均有表达;叶发育过程以嫩叶中表达最高,果实发育中以花后2 d表达量最高。类胡萝卜素含量随着叶、果实发育逐渐升高,成熟叶的含量最高,果实以花后4 d含量最高,且HePDS基因的表达与类胡萝卜素含量存在密切的相关性。该研究结果为进一步探讨HePDS基因的功能和调控机制,以及采用VIGS和CRISPR/Cas9技术开展黄秋葵基因功能的反向遗传学研究奠定了基础。     

Effects of silver on ethylene synthesis and action in cut carnations

Silver, applied as silverthiosulphate, completely blocked the ethylene surge preceding the wilting of the petals. As a consequence, vase life was extended by nearly 100%. In addition, a pretreatment with silverthiosulphate caused the flowers to become insensitive to an ethylene treatment.

The effect of polyamines on ethylene synthesis during normal and pollination-induced senescence of Petunia hybrida L. flowers

Senescence of Petunia hybrida L. flowers is accompanied by a climacteric pattern in ethylene production and a rapid decline in the levels of putrescine and spermidine during the preclimacteric phase. The decrease in spermidine is caused by the decline in the availability of putrescine which is initially synthesized from L-arginine via agmatine and N-carbamoylputrescine. Inhibition of putrescine and polyamine synthesis resulted in a rapid drop in the levels of putrescine and spermidine without resulting in a concomitant increase in ethylene production. These results indicate that polyamine synthesis is not involved in the control of ethylene synthesis through its effect on the availability of S-adenosylmethionine, and is confirmed by the results obtained with pollinated flowers. Treatment with polyamines may stimulate or suppress ethylene production in the corolla, depending on the concentrations applied. In unpollinated flowers the onset of the climacteric rise in ethylene production was accelerated after treatment with polyamines. However, in pollinated flowers this process was delayed as a result of treatment with low concentrations of polyamines. The effects of exogenous polyamines on ethylene production in both pollinated and unpollinated flowers indicate that ethylene synthesis in these flowers is not regulated by a feedback control mechanism. Although polyamines do not play a key role in the control of ethylene production during the early stages of senescence through their effect on the availability of S-adenosylmethionine, it appears that they play an important role in some of the other processes involved in senescence.Abbreviations ACC 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid - MGBG methylglyoxal bis-(guanylhydrazone) - SAM S-adenosylmethionine

Micromorphological and chemical characterisation of Stachys recta L. subsp. serpentini (Fiori) Arrigoni in comparison to Stachys recta L. subsp. recta (Lamiaceae)

Stachys recta L. is a very polymorphous species in which numerous subspecies were recognised. S. recta L. subsp. serpentini (Fiori) Arrigoni is a typical endemism growing on serpentine soils in northern Apennines and particularly in Tuscany (Italy). In order to contribute to a better knowledge of this plant and to its differentiation with respect to S. recta L. subsp. recta, the micromorphological characters (non-glandular and glandular trichomes) and the essential oil composition of the two subspecies were investigated. Micromorphological characters were studied using scanning and transmission electron microscopy, while light microscopy was used for histochemical observations. Essential oil analysis was carried out by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.In the two examined taxa, the morphology and distribution of glandular and non-glandular trichomes, and the different essential oil composition, may be considered distinctive characters at subspecies level. This is consistent with the taxonomic classification considering S. recta subsp. serpentini a subordinate taxon of S. recta.     

石榴PgUFGT基因克隆及表达分析

利用RT-PCR和RACE方法,从石榴(Punica granatum L.)果皮中克隆到一个类黄酮糖基转移酶(UFGT)基因(PgUFGT)全长cDNA序列(GenBank登录号为KF841620)。PgUFGT基因编码区1 476bp,编码491个氨基酸。PgUFGT蛋白具有保守PSPG基序、UDP-糖基转移酶家族结构域和UDP-葡萄糖醛酸基/葡萄糖基转移酶保守域(UDPGT),与其他植物UFGT蛋白一致性较高;系统进化树分析结果表明,PgUFGT属于类黄酮3-O-糖基转移酶类。荧光定量qRT-PCR结果表明,PgUFGT基因在‘红宝石’和‘水晶甜’2个石榴品种的发育期内具有不同的表达模式,PgUFGT在‘红宝石’石榴中有2个转录表达高峰,而在‘水晶甜’石榴中仅有1个表达高峰,表明PgUFGT可能在2个石榴品种中具有不同的催化作用。该研究结果为进一步研究石榴果实色泽形成的分子机制奠定了基础。     

Sites of ethylene production in the pollinated and unpollinated senescing carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) inflorescence

Production of endogenous ethylene from the styles, ovary and petals of pollinated and unpollinated flowers of Dianthus caryophyllus L. was measured. The rate of ethylene production of cut, unpollinated flowers aged in water at 18°C was low until the onset of petal wilting, when a rapid surge of ethylene occurred in all tissues. The flower ethylene production was evolved mostly from the styles and petals. The bases of petals from unpollinated, senescing flowers evolved ethylene faster and sometimes earlier than the upper parts. Treatment of cut flowers with propylene, an ethylene analogue, accelerated wilting of flower petals and promoted endogenous ethylene production in all flower tissues. Pollination of intact flowers also promoted endogenous ethylene production and caused accelerated petal wilting within 2–3 days from pollination. Although the data are consistent with the hypothesis that ethylene forms a link between pollination of the style and petal wilting, in the unpollinated flower the style and petals can evolve a surge of ethylene independently of each other, about the time when the petals irreversibly wilt. The results are discussed in relation to the role of ethylene in flower senescence.     

睡菜离体快繁技术的研究

Induction of nitrate reductase by cytokinin and ethylene in Agrostemma githago L. embryos

In dark-grown, isolated embryos of Agrostemma githago, a transient period of nitrate-reductase (NR) (NADH: nitrate oxidoreductase, EC 1.6.6.1) activity occurred from 6 to 36 h after the start of imbibition. During this period, NR activity was enhanced by nitrate, 6-benzylamino-purine and ethylene. Ethylene and 6-benzylamino-purine acted synergistically, whereas ethylene had no effect on nitrate induction. Aminoethoxyvinyl-glycine, an inhibitor of ethylene biosynthesis, inhibited the cytokinin-induced increase of NR activity, but had no effect on the nitrate-induced increase. The inhibition by aminoethoxyvinylglycine was overcome completely by ethylene. The ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid had the same effect on NR activity as ethylene. Our data indicate that NR induction by cytokinins only occurs in the presence of ethylene, and that nitrate enhances NR activity through a mechanism which is distinct from the induction by hormones.Abbreviations ACC 1-aminocycloproparte-1-carboxylic acid - AVG aminoethoxyvinylglycine - BAP 6-benzylaminopurine - c.p. cotyledonary pair - NR nitrate reductase This article was finalized by the second author two weeks before his death.

Oxidation of ethylene by cotyledon extracts from Vicia faba L.

Improved rates of ethylene oxidation by cell-free preparations from cotyledons of Vicia faba L. have been obtained using cryogenic storage techniques and by developing a method for the hydrolysis of ethylene oxide. Gel permeation chromatography showed that a low-molecular-size fraction was required for activity; accordingly, the kinetics of ethylene oxidation in the presence of this fraction were studied. Reduced pyridine nucleotides could substitute for the low-molecular-size fraction. Activity under a nitrogen atmosphere was 60% lower than in air. The need for reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and oxygen indicated that the enzyme might be a mixed-function oxidase. Using sufficient NADPH to approach saturation, the apparent Michaelis constant (K _m) for ethylene was 1.94±0.38 · 10^-8 M (aqueous phase), and when ethylene was saturating, the K _m for NADPH was 3.7 · 10^-5 M. Carbon monoxide was found to inhibit by competing with ethylene, and the inhibitor constant was 5.97 · 10^-7 M in solution. In the presence of excess ethylene and NADPH, activity was highest in phosphate-buffered medium pH 7.9. The bulk of the activity was found in a microsomal fraction.Abbreviations Epps N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N-3-propane sulphinic acid - Tris 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-porpanediol
