Summary Changes in the spatial relationship between actin filaments and microtubules during the differentiation of tracheary elements (TEs) was investigated by a double staining technique in isolatedZinnia mesophyll cells. Before thickening of the secondary wall began to occur, the actin filaments and microtubules were oriented parallel to the long axis of the cell. Reticulate bundles of microtubules and aggregates of actin filaments emerged beneath the plasma membrane almost simultaneously, immediately before the start of the deposition of the secondary wall. The aggregates of actin filaments were observed exclusively between the microtubule bundles. Subsequently, the aggregates of actin filaments extended preferentially in the direction transverse to the long axis of the cell, and the arrays of bundles of microtubules which were still present between the aggregates of actin filaments became transversely aligned. The deposition of the secondary walls then took place along the transversely aligned bundles of microtubules.Disruption of actin filaments by cytochalasin B produced TEs with longitudinal bands of secondary wall, along which bundles of microtubules were seen, while TEs produced in the absence of cytochalasin B had transverse bands of secondary wall. These results indicate that actin filaments play an important role in the change in the orientation of arrays of microtubules from longitudinal to transverse. Disruption of microtubules by colchicine resulted in dispersal of the regularly arranged aggregates of actin filaments, but did not inhibit the formation of the aggregates itself, suggesting that microtubules are involved in maintaining the arrangement of actin filaments but are not involved in inducing the formation of the regularly arranged aggregates of actin filaments.These findings demonstrate that actin filaments cooperate with microtubules in controlling the site of deposition of the secondary wall in developing TEs.Abbreviations DMSO

Aggregates of actin filaments appear immediately before secondary wall thickening during tracheary element differentiation
in isolatedZinnia cells. An analysis of plasma membrane ghosts revealed that the aggregates were bound to the plasma membrane. The properties
of the binding of actin filaments to the plasma membrane were investigated in this system.

Summary Changes in F-actin organization following mechanical isolation ofZinnia mesophyll cells were documented by rhodamine-phalloidin staining. Immediately after isolation, most cells contained irregular cortical actin fragments of varying lengths, and less than 5% of cells contained intact cortical filaments. During the first 8 h of culture, filament fragments were replaced by actin rings, stellate actin aggregates, and bundled filament fragments. Some of these aggregates had no association with organelles (free actin aggregates). Other aggregates were associated with chloroplasts, which changed in shape and location at the same time actin aggregates appeared. F-actin was concentrated within or around the nucleus in a small percentage of cells. After 12 h in culture, the percentage of cells with free actin rings and chloroplast-associated actin aggregates began to decline and the percentage of cells having intact cortical actin filaments increased greatly. Intermediate images were recorded that strongly indicate that free actin rings, chloroplast-associated actin rings, and other actin aggregates self-assemble by successive bundling of actin filament fragments. The fragmentation and bundling of F-actin observed in mechanically isolatedZinnia cells resembles changes in F-actin distribution reported after diverse forms of cell disturbance and appears to be an example of a generalized response of the actin cytoskeleton to cell stress.Abbreviations FITC

Isolated mesophyll cells ofZinnia elegans synchronously differentiate to tracheary elements at a high frequency when cultured in a liquid medium containing naphth-aleneacetic
acid and benzyladenine. An experimental system with the isolatedZinnia mesophyll cells has been extensively used as an efficient model system for the study of cytodifferentiation in higher plants,
providing many valuable results on cytodifferentiation. In this review, I introduce the results obtained with theZinnia system and discuss the induction and the sequence of differentiation.

In cultures of isolated mesophyll cells ofZinnia elegans, transdifferentiation into tracheary elements is induced by a combination of auxin and cytokinin and is blocked by inhibitors
of DNA synthesis and poly (ADP-ribose) synthesis. During transdifferentiation, a very low level of synthesis of nuclear DNA
was found in some cultured cells by microautoradiography after pulse-labeling with [3H]thymidine. Density profiles of nuclear DNA that had been double-labeledin vivo with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) and [3H]thymidine indicated that this DNA synthesis was repair-type synthesis. The sedimentation velocity of nucleoids increased
during the culture of isolated mesophyll cells and the increase was dependent on phytohormones. This phenomenon may reflect
the rejoining of DNA strand breaks after repair-type DNA synthesis during transdifferentiation. Treatment of cells with inhibitors
of DNA synthesis or of poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis prevented the increase in the sedimentation velocity of nucleoids. The data
suggest the involvement of DNA-repair events in the transdifferentiation of mesophyll cells into tracheary elements. 相似文献

Summary Rosettes of six particles have been visualized by freeze-fracture in the protoplasmic fracture (PF) faces of: a) the plasma membrane, b) Golgi cisternae, and c) Golgi-derived vesicles in mesophyll cells ofZinnia elegans that had been induced to differentiate synchronously into tracheary elements in suspension culture. These rosettes have been observed previously in the PF face of the plasma membranes of a variety of cellulose-synthesizing cells and are thought to be important in cellulose synthesis. InZinnia tracheary elements, the rosettes are localized in the membrane over regions of secondary wall thickening and are absent between thickenings. The observation of rosettes in the Golgi cisternae and vesicles suggests that the Golgi apparatus is responsible for the selective transport and exocytosis of rosettes in higher plants, as has been previously indicated in the algaMicrasterias (Giddings
et al. 1980). The data presented indicate that the Golgi apparatus has a critical role in the control of cell wall deposition because it is involved not only in the synthesis and export of matrix components but also in the export of an important component of the cellulose synthesizing apparatus. The rosettes are present in the plasma membrane and Golgi vesicles throughout the enlargement of the secondary thickening, suggesting that new rosettes must be continually inserted into the membrane to achieve complete cell wall thickening.Abbreviations

Involvement of local intercellular communication in the differentiation of zinnia mesophyll cells into tracheary elements 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The transdifferentiation of isolated mesophyll cells of zinnia (Zinnia elegans L.) into tracheary elements (TEs) has been well studied as a model of plant cell differentiation. In order to investigate
intercellular communication in this phenomenon, two types of culture method were developed, in which mesophyll cells were
embedded in a thin sheet of agarose gel and cultured on solid medium, or embedded in microbeads of agarose gel and cultured
in liquid medium. A statistical analysis of the two-dimensional distribution of TEs in the thin-sheet cultures demonstrated
their aggregation. In the microbead cultures, the frequency of TE differentiation was shown to depend on the local cell density
(the cell density in each microbead): TE differentiation required local cell densities of more than 105 cells ml−1. These results suggest that TE differentiation involves cell-cell communication mediated by a locally acting diffusible factor.
This presumptive factor was characterized by applying a modified version of the sheet culture, which used two sheets of different
cell densities, a low-density sheet and a high-density sheet. Differentiation of TEs in the former could be induced only by
bringing it into contact with the latter. Insertion of a 25-kDa-cutoff membrane between the high-density and low-density sheets
severely suppressed such induction of TEs in the low-density sheet while a 300-kDa-cutoff membrane suppressed induction only
slightly. Insertion of agarose sheets containing immobilized pronase E or trypsin also interfered with the induction of TEs
in the low-density sheets. Thus, a proteinaceous macromolecule of 25–300 kDa in molecular weight was assumed to mediate the
local intercellular communication required for TE differentiation. This substance was designated “xylogen” with reference
to its xylogenic activity. The time of requirement for xylogen during TE differentiation was assessed by experiments in which
cells in the low-density sheet were separated from xylogen produced in the high-density sheet at various times by insertion
of a 25-kDa-cutoff membrane between the two sheets, and was estimated to be from the 36th hour to the 60th hour of culture
(12–36 h before visible thickening of secondary cell walls of TEs).

Relationship between tracheary element differentiation and the cell cycle in single cells isolated from the mesophyll of Zinnia elegans 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A relationship between tracheary element differentiation and the cell cycle was studied in single cells isolated from the mesophyll of Zinnia elegans L. cv. Canary bird. Almost all nuclei of isolated mesophyll cells were at the 2 C level of DNA, indicating that almost all cells were initially in the G1 phase and that somatic polyploidy was absent. Cultured cells underwent partially synchronous DNA replication at 42 h and mitosis at 54 h of culture, and the first cell cycle time was approximately 58 h.
The occurrence and timing of DNA replication and mitosis during cytodifferentiation to tracheary elements were investigated using microspectrophotometry, microfluorometry, tritiated thymidine autoradiography, and serial observation. More than 55% of the nuclei of the immature tracheary elements were at the 2 C level of DNA and were not labeled by continuous feeding with tritiated thymidine, providing clear evidence that these cells differentiated without interventing DNA replication. Some tracheary elements (approximately 30%) were formed after one round of the cell cycle, and others (less than 5%) were formed after passing through the S phase, but without intervening mitosis. All types of tracheary elements appeared simultaneously after 58 h of culture, and their patterns of increase in number were similar. From the results, we propose a hypothesis concerning the relationship between cytodifferentiation and the cell cycle. 相似文献

Summary We used various microscopic and labeling techniques to examine events occurring during the programmed cell death (PCD) of plant tracheary elements (TEs) developing in vitro. TEs differentiating in vitro synthesize a secondary cell wall which is complex in composition and pattern at approximately 72 h after hormone manipulation. The timing of PCD events was established relative to this developmental marker. Cytoplasmic streaming continues throughout secondary wall synthesis, which takes 6 h to complete in a typical cell. Vital dye staining and ultrastructural analysis show that the vacuole and plasma membrane are intact during secondary cell wall synthesis, but the cytoplasm becomes less dense in appearance, most likely through the action of confined hydrolysis by small vacuoles which are seen throughout the cell at this time. The final, preeminent step of TE PCD is a rapid collapse of the vacuole occurring after completion of secondary cell wall synthesis. Vacuole collapse is an irreversible commitment to death which results in the immediate cessation of cytoplasmic streaming and leads to the complete degradation of cellular contents, which is probably accomplished by release of hydrolytic enzymes sequestered in the vacuole. This event represents a novel form of PCD. The degradation of nuclear DNA is detectable by TUNEL, an in situ labeling method, and appears to occur near or after vacuole collapse. Our observations indicate that the process of cellular degradation that produces the hollow TE cell corpse is an active and cell-autonomous process which is distinguishable morphologically and kinetically from necrosis. Although TE PCD does not resemble apoptosis morphologically, we describe the production of spherical protoplast fragments by cultured cells that resemble apoptotic bodies but which are not involved in TE PCD. We also present evidence that, unlike the hypersensitive response (HR), TE PCD does not involve an oxidative burst. While this evidence does not exclude a role for reactive oxygen intermediates in TE PCD, it does suggest TE PCD is mechanistically distinct from cell death during the HR.Abbreviations BA

Summary. Gibberellin (GA) is considered an important growth regulator involved in many aspects of plant development. However, little
is known about the relationship between GA and lignification. In this study, we analyzed the role of GA in tracheary element
(TE) differentiation and lignification using a Zinnia elegans xylogenic culture. When gibberellic acid-3 (GA3) was exogenously supplied, a slight increase in the frequency of TE differentiation and a remarkable increase in lignin content
were observed. Computer image analysis of individual TEs showed that the lignification level of each TE was significantly
increased in the culture treated with GA3 compared with those of the control. In contrast, suppression of TE differentiation and lignification was observed when GA
biosynthesis was inhibited by ancymidol, paclobutrazol, or uniconazole. This suppression was restored by the addition of GA3. These results suggest that GA plays an important role in TE differentiation, and even more so in lignification. When conditioned
medium obtained after 120 h of control culture was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography, many lignin precursors
were detected. However, these lignin precursors were greatly reduced in the GA-treated culture. This result suggests that
GA promotes lignification by activating the polymerization of lignin precursors.

Summary Developing tracheary elements in suspension cultures ofZinnia elegans fluoresce intensely relative to non-differentiating cells when stained with chlorotetracycline (CTC), a fluorescent chelate probe for membrane associated calcium. This suggests that a change in calcium uptake or subcellular distribution accompanies the onset of tracheary element differentiation. A few cells in early differentiating cultures were brightly fluorescent, but did not have visible cell wall thickenings, suggesting that a rise in sequestered calcium may precede visible differentiation. Diffuse CTC fluorescence in early differentiation most likely results from sequestration of calcium in the endoplasmic reticulum. Late in differentiation, CTC fluorescence becomes punctate in appearance, probably due to loss of plasma membrane integrity occurring at the onset of autolysis.Zinnia suspension culture cells were found to be very sensitive to CTC and low concentrations (10 M) were used to assure accurate localization of membrane-associated calcium in healthy cells.Abbreviations CTC

Summary The relationship between cell expansion, cortical microtubule orientation, and patterned secondary-cell-wall deposition was investigated in xylogenic cell suspension cultures ofZinnia elegans L. The direction of cell expansion in these cultures is pH dependent; cells elongate at pH 5.5–6.0, but expand isodiametrically at pH 6.5–7.0. Contrary to our expectations, indirect immunofluorescence revealed that cortical microtubules are oriented parallel to the long axis in elongating cells. Pulse labeling of the walls of isolated cells with the fluorochrome Tinopal LPW demonstrated that xylogenic Zinnia mesophyll cells elongate by tip growth in culture. These results confirm that cortical microtubules in developing tracheary elements reorient before bundling to form transverse cortical microtubule bands. This rearrangement may allow the secondary cell wall pattern to conform to cell shape, independent of the direction in which the cell was expanding prior to reorientation.Abbreviations CMT

Summary. In palisade mesophyll cells of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) kept under low-intensity white light, chloroplasts were apparently immobile and seemed to be surrounded by fine bundles
of actin filaments. High-intensity blue light induced actin-dependent chloroplast movement concomitant with the appearance
of a couple of long, straight bundles of actin filaments in each cell, whereas high-intensity red light was essentially ineffective
in inducing these responses. The actin organization observed under low-intensity white light has been postulated to function
in anchoring chloroplasts at proper intracellular positions through direct interaction with the chloroplasts. Intact chloroplasts,
which retained their outer envelopes, were isolated after homogenization of leaves and Percoll centrifugation. No endogenous
actin was detected by immunoblotting in the final intact-chloroplast fraction prepared from the leaves kept under low-intensity
white light or in darkness. In cosedimentation assays with exogenously added skeletal muscle filamentous actin, however, actin
was detected in the intact-chloroplast fraction precipitated after low-speed centrifugation. The association of actin with
chloroplasts was apparently dependent on incubation time and chloroplast density. After partial disruption of the outer envelope
of isolated chloroplasts by treatment with trypsin, actin was no longer coprecipitated. The results suggest that chloroplasts
in spinach leaves can directly interact with actin, and that this interaction may be involved in the regulation of intracellular
positioning of chloroplasts.

We have used the Zinnia elegans mesophyll cell system, in which single isolated leaf mesophyll cells can be induced to trans-differentiate into tracheary elements in vitro, to study the relationship between the cell division cycle and cell differentiation. Almost all cells go through several rounds of division before characteristic features of tracheary element formation are observed. The addition of aphidicolin, a DNA synthesis inhibitor, blocks cell division but not cell differentiation in the zinnia system. Low concentrations of aphidicolin, which possibly delay cells in the early S phase, can significantly enhance levels of tracheary element formation. In contrast, roscovitine, an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase activity, decelerates the cell division cycle and inhibits tracheary element formation with similar dose responses. Cells blocked in S phase and then transferred to roscovitine-containing medium can divide once, indicating that roscovitine may target the G1/S transition, but do not differentiate. Cells inhibited in G1/S in roscovitine-containing medium that are subsequently blocked in S phase by transfer to aphidicolin-containing medium, do not divide but do differentiate. Taken together, our results indicate that cells may be required to transit the G1/S checkpoint and enter early S phase to acquire competence to trans-differentiate to tracheary elements. 相似文献

A simplified medium has been developed for the differentiation of tracheary elements in suspension cultures of mesophyll cells of Zinnia elegans L. All inorganic salts contained in media used previously were retained in the simplified medium, but most were reduced in concentration. The only organic supplements required for optimum differentiation were thiamine and nicotinic acid, in addition to the plant growth regulators N6-benzylaminopurine and -naphthyleneacetic acid, and sucrose as a carbon source. Mannitol, an osmoticum, was necessary for rapid, synchronous differentiation. This simplified medium is particularly suitable for studies of the role of Ca2+ in tracheary element differentiation due to the elimination of myo-inositol, an intermediate in the phosphatidyl inositol signal transduction pathway and reduction in the concentrations of Mg2+ and Mn2+, which block calcium channels. It is also possible to eliminate EDTA from the medium, enabling studies using specific calcium chelators. Additional culture variables for the optimization of differentiation are discussed.Abbreviation TE

Summary Isolated mesophyll cells ofZinnia elegans L. cv. Canary Bird differentiate into tracheary elements in differentiation (D) medium. These elements develop lignified secondary wall thickenings. The influence of 2-aminoindan-2-phosphonic acid (AIP), an inhibitor of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), on lignification ofZinnia tracheary elements was examined. The mesophyll cells were cultured in D and AIP media. The latter medium, in which 100 M AIP was added to the D medium, inhibited PAL activity, though the differentiation proceeded. Morphological differences of secondary wall thickenings cultured in these two types of media were investigated under an UV microscope and a transmission electron microscope. The secondary wall thickenings at 96 h in the D medium showed strong UV absorption. The fibrillar structure of the thickenings observed clearly at 72 h was covered with electron opaque materials by 96 h. The secondary wall thickenings at 96 h in the AIP medium showed weak UV absorption. The thickenings at 96 h had a cracked appearance. Furthermore, the thickenings showed a little irregular or wavy arrangement of cellulose microfibrils and had many pores and spaces between microfibrils. From these results, the role of lignin accumulation in the formation of secondary wall thickenings was discussed.Abbreviations AIP

Mesophyll cells isolated from Zinnia elegans L. cv. Canary Bird were cultured for 96 h in a liquid medium containing 0.1 mg l-1 -naphthaleneacetic acid and 1 mg l-1 benzyladenine in which both differentiation of tracheary elements (TE) and cell division were induced, or in a medium containing 0.1 mg l-1 -naphthaleneacetic acid and 0.001 mg l-1 benzyladenine, in which cell division was induced but TE differentiation was not. Lignification was found to occur only in the former medium, fairly synchronously after 76 h of culture, 5 h later than the onset of visible secondary wall thickening. Changes in the soluble phenolics were not correlated with TE differentiation. Of three important enzymes which have been reported to play a role in TE differentiation, the activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (EC 4.3.1.5) in the TE-inductive culture was higher than that in the control culture between 72 and 96 h of culture, when TE differentiation progressed and lignin was synthesized actively. O-Methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.6) activity was higher in the control culture than in the TE-inductive culture, indicating that this enzyme was not a marker enzyme of TE differentiation. The activities of peroxidases (EC 1.11.1.7), one extractable and the other nonextractable, with CaCl2 from the cell walls, reached peaks at 72 h (just before lignification) and 84 h of culture (active lignin synthesis), respectively, in the TE-inductive culture only, whereas the activity of soluble peroxidase showed a similar pattern of increase in the TE-inductive to the control culture. These results indicate that phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and peroxidase bound to the cell walls can be marker proteins for the differentiation of TE.Abbreviations OMT

The Zinnia elegans mesophyll cell culture is a useful system for xylogenesis studies. The system is associated with highly synchronous tracheary element (TE) differentiation, making it more suitable for molecular studies requiring larger amounts of molecular isolates, such as mRNA and proteins and for studying cellulose synthesis. There is, however, the problem of non-uniformity and significant variations in the yields of TEs (%TE). One possible cause for this variability in the %TE could be the lack of a standardized experimental protocol in various research laboratories for establishing the Zinnia culture. Mesophyll cells isolated from the first true leaves of Z. elegans var Envy seedlings of approximately 14 days old were cultured in vitro and differentiated into TEs. The xylogenic culture medium was supplied with 1 mg/l each of benzylaminopurine (BA) and α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). Application of this improved culture method resulted in stable and reproducible amounts of TE as high as 76% in the Zinnia culture. The increase was mainly due to conditioning of the mesophyll cell culture and adjustments of the phytohormonal balance in the cultures. Also, certain biochemical and cytological methods have been shown to reliably monitor progress of TE differentiation. We conclude that, with the adoption of current improvement in the xylogenic Z. elegans culture, higher amounts of tracheary elements can be produced. This successful outcome raises the potential of the Zinnia system as a suitable model for cellulose and xylogenesis research. 相似文献
