Summary Under conditions of identical rate of photosynthesis (measured by dry weight increase under steady state conditions) growth and differentiation of the gametophytes of ferns (e.g.Dryopteris filix-mas) are completely different in red and blue light. In the blue light normal growth and morphogenesis take place and normal two or three-dimensional prothallia are formed (Fig. 3). In the red, however, the prothallia look very similar to those growing in complete darkness: they grow as one-dimensional filaments (Fig. 1).It has been shown in this paper that photosynthesis, which is important as a source of organic material and free energy, has no influence at all on morphogenesis. Morphogenesis, i.e. the formation of normal prothallia instead of filaments, is controlled by a photoreactive system which depends on blue light of suitable intensity and which is not related to photosynthesis as such. If no blue light is present no morphogenesis occurs in spite of high photosynthetic activity.In our opinion theprimary products of photosynthesis are the same in all wavelengths. But now the photomorphogenic light reaction which depends on blue light apparently directs the flow of metabolites. In this way even the same initial products of CO2 fixation may lead subsequently to rather different photosynthetic products and consequently to the very great difference between prothallia growing with or without blue light.The addition of sucrose has practically no influence on growth and morphogenesis under our conditions. On the basis of our results we cannot agree with the general conclusions drawn byMiller andMiller (1961) who regard photosynthesis as a photomorphogenetic system in these gametophytes of ferns.Mit 6 Textabbildungen.Herrn Professor Dr.E.

The relationship between polyamines (PAs) metabolism and adventitious shoot morphogenesis from cotyledons of cucumber was investigated in vitro. The endogenous levels of free putrescine (Put) and spermidine (Spd) in the explants decreased sharply, whereas endogenous spermine (Spm) increased during adventitious shoot morphogenesis. The presence of 1–15 mM Put, 1–2 mM Spd, 0.05–1 mM Spm, 5–10 M aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) or 5 M AVG together with 50 M 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) in the regeneration medium could promote adventitious shoot formation. Conversely, 1–5 mM D-arginine (D-Arg) or 0.01–0.1 mM methylglyoxal bis-guganylhydrazone (MGBG) inhibited regeneration; and 0.005–0.05 mM ACC displayed little or no evident effects. The explants growing on medium containing 5 M AVG produced higher levels of free Put and Spm, and on medium containing 5 mM Put the explants responded similarly to the AVG-treated explants. However, the exogenous use of 1 mM D-Arg reduced the levels of Put, Spd and Spm, and 0.1 mM MGBG reduced the levels of free Spd and Spm. Moreover, although the explants cultured on medium containing Put and MGBG enhanced ethylene production, AVG and D-Arg inhibited ethylene biosynthesis. This study shows the PAs requirement for the formation of adventitious shoot from cotyledons of cucumber in vitro and the enhanced adventitious shoot morphogenesis may be associated with the elevated level of endogenous free Spm, albeit the promotive effect of PAs on adventitious shoot morphogenesis may not be related to ethylene metabolism. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung Der Verlauf des Nahrungsflusses im Darmtrakt der Kleinzikade Euscelidius variegatus wird nach Verfütterung von farbstoffhaltiger Nährlösung ermittelt. Es wird der Beweis erbracht, daß die aufgenommene Nahrungsmenge in der Filterkammer geteilt wird und die beiden Anteile den Darmtrakt auf zwei verschiedenen Wegen in Richtung Rektalblase passieren. Ein Anteil der aufgenommenen Nährlösung wird über einen Kurzschlußweg in der Filterkammer sowohl über den Filterkammerdarm als auch über die Kryptonephridien direkt in den Enddarm gepumpt, während die in der Magentasche der Filterkammer verbleibenden Nahrungsanteile über einen langen Verdauungsweg zum After gelangen. Hierbei wird der Magentascheninhalt in den Magen gedrückt. Von dort aus passiert er den Mitteldarm und erreicht über den Enddarm den After. Der Kurzschlußweg und der Verdauungsweg können gleichzeitig benutzt werden. Der Kurzschlußweg wird von der Nahrung jedoch in viel kürzerer Zeit durchströmt als der längere Verdauungsweg.
The directions of the flow of food in the alimentary trad of the leafhopper Euscelidius variegatus KBM. (Jassidae)
Summary The leafhopper Euscelidius variegatus is fed with synthetic food, coloured with 1% Azorubin-S. Its flow in the alimentary tract has been studied. It has been found that the sucked-in food is divided into two parts in the filter chamber, each taking different way in the alimentary tract for its flow. One part of the food is pumped into the hindgut via the short circuit way going through the filter chamber once over the Filterkammerdarm and also over the kryptonephries. That part of the food, which remains in the pocket of the filter chamber takes the long digestion way to the anus over stomach, midgut and hindgut. Both the ways could be used at the same time. But the food takes much shorter time for its passage through the short circuit way as compared to the time needed for the long digestion way.相似文献

Experiments were designed to test the validity ofTuring's suggested pattern-forming mechanisms, which are initially capable of giving rise to only five to seven uniform structures.TheOregon-R (wild-type), mass-cultured strain ofDrosophila melanogaster was employed. Selection for the regular arrangement of microchaetac on the margin of the fourth abdominal sternite was practiced for twenty generations. In the L line, individuals with six uniformly spaced bristles were selected as parents of every generation. Due to the absence of nine bristles dividing the sternal margin uniformly, the progeny was raised in each generation in the H line from males and females with nine as equidistant bristles as possible. The whole experiment was performed at 25±0.50°C.Selection was effective in increasing the frequency of six regular bristles in the L line. But no progress in the desired direction was obtained in the H line, although the proportion of sternites with nine irregular structures was found to increase. The experimental results supportTuring's diffusion-reaction scheme of pattern formation in morphogenesis.Supported by grants GB-1388 and GB-3219 from the National Science Foundation. 相似文献

Summary The pars distalis of the adenohypophysis of normal (78), thyroideotomized (6), adrenalectomized (6), and castrated (14) White-crowned Sparrows were observed with the electron microscope. Six types of glandular cells were identified and the ultrastructural characteristics of each have been described. To each has been assigned tentatively an endocrine function.STH cells are characterized by the presence of large, dense secretory granules ranging from 220–280 m, a poorly developed endoplasmic reticulum, and a fragmented Golgi apparatus; they occur only in the caudal lobe. They show no remarkable changes after adrenalectomy, castration, and thyroidectomy.Prolactin cells, whose identity is suggested by their responses to photostimulation and surgical experiments, are characterized by large, polymorphic, dense secretory granules; they have been found mainly in the cephalic lobe.ACTH cells, whose function is confirmed by their cytological responses to adrenalectomy, have a peculiar type of secretory granule (220 m) with high and low phases of electron density. They occur exclusively in the cephalic lobe and are transformed, after adrenalectomy to large, vacuolated adrenalectomy cells.TSH cells are so designated by their response to thyroidectomy. After thyroidectomy, they lose their specific fine secretory granules and are transformed into large, vacuolated thyroidectomy cells. We have found TSH cells and thyroidectomy cells only in the cephalic lobe.Two types considered to be gonadotropic cells from their responses to gonadectomy, occur in both the cephalic and caudal lobes. One of them contains spherical, dense secretory granules (180–220 m), prominent rough endoplasmic reticulum and a well developed Golgi apparatus; the other type contains dense secretory granules of variable size (150–350 m), a less extensively developed Golgi apparatus, and sac-like endoplasmic reticulum. Both types of gonadotropic cells show extreme enlargement and vacuolization after castration. However, they retain differences in appearance in the structure of cytoplasmic organelles and vacuolization.Dedicated to Professor Dr. H. Grau in honor of his 70th birthday.The investigation reported herein was supported by a research grant (HE 07240 NEUA) from the National Institutes of Health to Professor Vitums, by a research grant (5R01 NB 06187) from the National Institutes of Health to Professor Farner, and by a scientific research grant (No. 91049) from the Ministry of Education of Japan to Professor Mikami.

Imidazole fungicides such as imazalil, prochloraz, and triflurnizole and the triazole growth retardant paclobutrazol promote the shoot-inducing effect of exogenous cytokinins in Araceae, such as Spathiphyllum floribundum Schott and Anthurium andreanum Schott. The mechanism of their action could partially be based on the inhibition of gibberellic acid (GA) biosynthesis, because administration of GA3 inhibits the phenomenon completely in S. floribundum. Not only is the suppression of GA biosynthesis involved, but also the metabolism of endogenous cytokinins is significantly altered. Although the balance between isopentenyladenine, zeatin, dihydrozeatin, and their derivatives was shifted to distinguished directions by administration of BA and/or imazalil and/or GA3, no correlation between these changes in metabolic pathways and the number of shoots could be found. The metabolism of BA was not significantly altered by adding imazalil to the micropropagation medium of S. floribundum.Abbreviations 2,4-D

-d-Glucosidase, -d-fucosidase -d-xylosidase, and -cellobiopyranosidase activities in Caecomyces communis, Neocallimastix frontalis, and Piromyces rhizinflata, located with fluorescent conjugates, occur throughout the whole thallus as from zoospore germination and disappear before sporulation. -d-Galactosidase and -l-arabinopyranosidase activities are low or nonexistent. A xylanase, detected by indirect immunofluorescence, was observed at the surface of the vegetative cells, vesicles, or rhizoids. Cross-reactions prove the existence of analogies in structure among the enzymes of these anaerobic gut fungi. 相似文献

Summary Experiments are described in which in early to late blastulae ofAmbystoma mexicanum (stages 7–8/9 Harrison) the animal, ectodermal half (zones I.II) was combined with the vegetative, endodermal yolk mass (zone IV) in various orientations, viz. in random orientation or with the dorso-ventral axes of the two components in identical, opposite or perpendicular orientation (0°, 180°, or 90° translocation respectively). The results demonstrate unequivocally that the dorso-ventral polarity of the induced mesoderm, and thus of the embryo, depends exclusively upon the inherent dorso-ventral polarity of the endoderm, whereas the grey crescent, a considerable part of which is located in the animal, ectodermal half, plays no causal role whatsoever.The results also show that the dorso-ventral polarity is inherent in the entire endodermal mass, but that the subsequent regional differentiation of the endoderm depends upon stimulating influences emanating from the surrounding mesoderm, the later nutritive yolk representing that part of the endoderm which normally does not come under the influence of the mesoderm, and therefore fails to receive the necessary stimulus for further differentiation.On the basis of these findings Schultze's Umkehrexperiment as studied byPenners andSchleip, Penners, andPasteels are reinterpreted, whileDalcq andPasteels' general developmental theory as well asCurtis' cortical grafting experiments are critically discussed.
Zusammenfassung Es werden Experimente beschrieben, in denen in frühen bis späten Blastulae vonAmbystoma mexicanum (Stadien 7–8/9 Harrison) die animale, ektodermale Hälfte (Zonen I.II) mit der vegetativen, entodermalen Dottermasse (Zone IV) kombiniert wurde, und zwar in verschiedener Orientierung, d. h. in willkürlicher Orientierung oder mit den Dorsoventralachsen der beiden Komponenten identisch, entgegengesetzt oder senkrecht zueinander orientiert (0°, bzw. 180° oder 90° transloziert). Die Ergebnisse zeigen eindeutig, daß die Dorsoventralpolarität des induzierten Mesoderms, und damit die des Embryos, ausschließlich von der inhärenten Dorsoventralpolarität des Entoderms bestimmt wird, während der graue Halbmond, der zu einem beträchtlichen Teil in der animalen, ektodermalen Hälfte liegt, überhaupt keine kausale Rolle spielt.Außerdem zeigen die Ergebnisse, daß die Dorsoventralpolarität der ganzen Entodermmasse inhärent ist, daß aber die spätere regionale Differenzierung des Entoderms von stimulierenden Einflüssen seitens des umgebenden Mesoderms abhängig ist; der spätere Nährdotter ist derjenige Teil des Entoderms der normalerweise außerhalb des Wirkungsbereiches des Mesoderms liegt, und infolgedessen den für seine weitere Differenzierung benötigten Reiz nicht erhält.Angesichts dieser Befunde wird das Schultzesche Umkehrexperiment, welches vonPenners undSchleip, Penners, undPasteels näher untersucht worden ist, neu interpretiert, während die allgemeine Entwicklungstheorie vonDalcq u.Pasteels sowie die Cortextransplantationen vonCurtis kritisch diskutiert werden.相似文献

In lily, adhesion of the pollen tube to the transmitting-tract epidermal cells (TTEs) is purported to facilitate the effective movement of the tube cell to the ovary. In this study, we examine the components of the extracellular matrices (ECMs) of the lily pollen tubes and TTEs that may be involved in this adhesion event. Several monoclonal antibodies to plant cell wall components such as esterified pectins, unesterified pectins, and arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) were used to localize these molecules in the lily pollen tube and style at both light microscope (LM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) levels. In addition, (-d-Glc)3 Yariv reagent which binds to AGPs was used to detect AGPs in the pollen tube and style. At the LM level, unesterified pectins were localized to the entire wall in in-vivo- and in-vitro-grown pollen tubes as well as to the surface of the stylar TTEs. Esterified pectins occurred at the tube tip region (with some differences in extent in in-vivo versus in-vitro tubes) and were evenly distributed in the entire style. At the TEM level, esterified pectins were detected inside pollen tube cell vesicles and unesterified pectins were localized to the pollen tube wall. The in-vivo pollen tubes adhere to each other and can be separated by pectinase treatment. At the LM level, AGP localization occurred in the tube tip of both in-vivo- and in-vitro-grown pollen tubes and, in the case of one AGP probe, on the surface of the TTEs. Another AGP probe localized to every cell of the style except the surface of the TTE. At the TEM level, AGPs were mainly found on the plasma membrane and vesicle membranes of in-vivo-grown pollen tubes as well as on the TTE surface, with some localization to the adhesion zone between pollen tubes and style. (-d-Glc)3 Yariv reagent bound to the in-vitro-grown pollen tube tip and significantly reduced the growth of both in-vitro- and in-vivo-grown pollen tubes. This led to abnormal expansion of the tube tip and random deposition of callose. These effects could be overcome by removal of (-d-Glc)3 Yariv reagent which resulted in new tube tip growth zones emerging from the flanks of the arrested tube tip. The possible roles of pectins and AGPs in adhesion during pollination and pollen tube growth are discussed.Abbreviations AGP

Summary Several rat tissues (liver, spleen, kidney, pancreas, skin, heart, lung and brain) were shown to contain a peptidase capable of liberating naphthylamine from glycyl-dl-proline naphthylamide (Gly-Pro-NA). A single DEAE-cellulose chromatography of autodigested homogenates of the above tissues produced a partial separation of the peptidase from the enzymes hydrolysing l-leucine -naphthylamide. The Gly-Pro-NA hydrolysing enzyme was localised in tissue sections by using diazo coupling reaction and indirect immunologic techniques. Antibodies were prepared against the enzyme purified from rat liver and kidney in the rabbit. Rabbit -globulin was localized by using goat anti-rabbit -globulin labeled with fluorescein or with peroxidase. 相似文献

Summary Somatic spine synapses modified with postsynaptic electron opaque materials were found in the axo-somatic ciliary ganglion synapse of the chick.A part of the postsynaptic cell body protrudes into the presynaptic calyciform ending as a somatic spine with about 1 in length and 0.15 in diameter, and forms the so-called synaptic complex with presynaptic process. Moreover, conspicuous electron opaque materials can be seen in the central axis of the spine, except for its end portion. Sometimes, these opaque materials are seen as arrayed dots.The morphological characteristics of the somatic spine synapses in this study are quite similar to that found in the habenula and interpeduncular nuclei of the cat (Milhaud and Pappas, 1966). the biological significance of which is obscure at present.This work was supported in part by grant from the Education Ministry of Japan. 相似文献

Transmannosylation from mannotriose (Man1-4Man1-4Man) to the 4-position at the nonreducing end N-acetylglucosaminyl residue ofN,N-diacetylchitobiose was regioselectively induced through the use of -d-mannanase fromAspergillus niger. The enzyme formed the trisaccharide Man1-4GlcNAc1-4GlcNAc (3.7% of the enzyme-catalysed net decrease ofN,N-diacetylchitobiose) from mannotriose as a donor andN,N-diacetylchitobiose as an acceptor. Mannobiose (Man1-4Man) was also shown to be useful as a donor substrate for the desired trisaccharide synthesis.Abbreviations Man

Summary Integrins play a major role in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. The majority of the different types of integrins recognize the tripeptide sequence arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD). To explore the spatial requirements of the pharmacophore for receptor selectivity and high activity, a new procedure, spatial screening, was used. The procedure is based on the experience that the conformation of small cyclic peptides is mainly determined by the chirality of the amino acids (and glycine or proline). For example, cyclic pentapeptides with one d and four l amino acids prefer a II'/ conformation. The sequence RGDFV was shifted around this spatial II'/ template by synthesis of five peptides in which one of the amino acids was used in d-configuration. It turned out that cyclo(-RGDfV-) is a selective inhibitor for the v3 integrin, which is strongly expressed in cancer cells. Systematic variations with different turn mimetics, retro-inverso structures, modified peptide bonds and sugar amino acids are discussed. 相似文献

Summary Cells ofMicrasterias denticulata Bréb. at the stage of secondary wall formation have been studied by freeze-etching. It was found that the plasma membrane exhibits oval areas in which arrays of membrane particles occur. These particles form rosettes which are arranged in a hexagonally ordered lattice with a center to center spacing of 25 nm. Nearly the same periodicities can be found between microfibrils. It is concluded that the rosettes probably together with the thickened area of the plasma membrane below them represent the apparatus for the production and orientation of microfibrils. The hypothesis suggesting the incorporation of membrane templates functional in microfibril formation, originally advanced byKiermayer andDobberstein (1973) has received further support. 相似文献

The antibiotic streptozotocin under a variety of growth conditions rapidly and irreversibly inactivates the capacity to divide or to form colonies of a series of sensitive bacteria, containing the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar-phosphotransferase system. Cells can be sensitized towards the drug by pregrowth in N-acetyl-glucosamine and can be protected by adding this amino-glucoside to the medium. Starvation for energy, especially for phosphoenolpyruvate, or prevention of the induction of a transport system involved in streptozotocin uptake will protect the cells, while a block in protein synthesis does not. The killed cells neither lyse, nor are they transformed into spheroplasts. At first, the capacity of such dead cells to respire, to swim actively or to keep the cytoplasmic membrane impermeable for small molecules remains intact. Their capacity for over-all RNA and protein synthesis, and for carbohydrate and amino acid uptake by facilitated diffusion or active transport is not affected. However, they loose rapidly their ability to take up carbohydrates by the phospheonolpyruvate dependent process of group translocation or to synthesize inducible enzymes, e.g. the enzyme -galactosidase. These inhibitory effects apparently are caused by the accumulation of phosphorylated, toxic derivates of the antibiotic and eventually lead to a pronounced bacteriostasis. Killing of the cells seems to be caused by a direct effect of the strongly mutagenic drug on replicating DNA.Non-Standard Abbreviations IPTG

Summary The steady N shapeI/V curves were obtained by applying slow ramp hyper- and depolarization pulses toChara cells under the voltage-clamp condition. Application of calcium channel blocker, 20 m La3+, to theChara membrane caused, in about 30 min, a marked reduction of the transient inward current and later almost complete blocking of the pump current, while the steady outward current remained almost unaffected. Removal of external Ca2+ with 0.5mm EGTA caused similar results. Application of calmodulin antagonists, 10 m TFP or 20 m W-7, also gave very similar results, i.e., the decrease of the transient inward current and of H+-pump activity. These results suggest that not only the excitatory mechanisms but also the H+-pump activity ofChara membrane are regulated by calmodulin within a comparatively narrow range of internal Ca2+ level. 相似文献

Multiple forms of DNA-dependent RNA polymerases have been isolated and characterized from Leishmania strain UR6 promastigotes. RNA polymerases from this organism fail to resolve into multiple forms by conventional chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A25, but could be separated by a modification of the method using CM-Sephadex C25. The CM-Sephadex bound enzyme is resistant toamanitin even up to a concentration of 250g/ml. The activity which flows through CM-Sephadex further resolves into two forms upon chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A25. These forms are sensitive to -amanitin to different extent. Enzyme activity in peak I is 50% inhibited by 3g/ml and in peak II by 50g/ml of the drug respectively. The enzyme in peak I has been further purified by heparin agarose and fast performance liquid chromatography (FPLC) on MonoQ. The enzyme has Stoke's radius of 70å, a sedimentation coefficient of 17.6S and an f/fo of 1.35. Analysis of ammonium sulfate and met n peak I, relative activities with Mn+2 versus Mg+2 and template specificities gave results similar to those reported for other type II RNA polymerases in eukaryotes. The MonoQ purified enzyme resolves into 16 polypeptides on denaturing polyacrylamide gel and densitometric analysis suggests that 9 major bands are present in the stoichiometry expected of RNA polymerase subunits having molecular weights: 154000; 104000; 77000; 64000; 52000; 48000; 46000; 45000 and 39000 respectively. 相似文献

The interaction of free IAA and its amino acid conjugates on growth and development of cultured tomato hypocotyl tissue (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Marglobe) was studied. In a nutrient medium containing 10 mol/L of benzyladenine, free IAA stimulated shoot and root development with little callus proliferation. In contrast, all IAA-amino acid conjugates tested supported mostly callus growth. Simultaneous application of free IAA and its conjugates resulted in the expression of mixed morphogenetic responses (i.e., both vigorous callus growth and organogenesis resulted). Growth kinetics and the effect of temporal exposure of the tissues to the bound and the free auxin suggest that some IAA-amino acid conjugates may specifically influence plant morphogenesis in ways that cannot be easily explained as simply a function of their slow hydrolysis to release free IAA.Abbreviations IAA

The influence of some ions in pre-growth culture medium on chromate reduction by resting cells of Agrobacterium radiobacter strain EPS-916 was investigated. The reduction was dependent on the Fe2+ content of the culture medium: the higher the iron content, the lower the reduction rate. The cells showed maximum chromate reduction when pre-grown in the presence of 0.243 m Mg2+, 20 m Ca2+ and 3.6 m Mn2+. Chromate reduction was not affected by the addition of MgCl2, CdCl2, ZnCl2, MnCl2, Na2SO4 (1000 m), and Na2MoO4 (100 m) to the activity assays. However, activity was inhibited by the presence of Na2SO4 (10 mm), Na2MoO4 (200 m) and ferric citrate. 相似文献
