Mobilization of Endosperm Reserves and Uptake of Sucrose and Valine by the Cotyledons of Euphorbia lathyris L. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Upon germination, the endosperm triacylglycerols and proteinswere converted to sucrose and amino acids. During early postgerminativegrowth, the rate of sucrose and amino acid production exceededthe rate of uptake by the cotyledons. As a result, the levelsof total amino acid and sucrose in the endosperm increased;maximum levels were reached at 7 d and 10 d after imbibition(DAI), respectively. Intact seedlings were used to measure thedevelopment of valine, arginine, glutamic acid, and sucroseuptake rate throughout the course of endosperm depletion. Maximumamino acid uptake rates were measured at around 9 DAI, the highestuptake rate for sucrose was obtained at 12 DAI (just beforedepletion of the endosperm). The daily increase of sucrose andamino acid uptake could be manipulated, by replacing the endospermwith a pre-incubation solution during 1 d. The increase in sucroseuptake in vitro was equal to that measured with intact seedlingswhen the cotyledons were pre-incubated in 10 mol m3 sucrose.Higher sucrose concentrations reduced the increase of sucroseuptake; at 300 mol m3 sucrose (corresponding to the meanendosperm sucrose concentration) sucrose uptake after pre-incubationwas even lower than before. This reduction was largely counteractedwhen the pre-incubation solution was supplemented with minerals.The development of the valine uptake was hardly affected bysucrose, but was inhibited by several amino acids.

Excised seed-coat halves and cotyledons of developing seedsof Pisum sativum L. were incubated in a bathing medium (pH 5·5),in order to measure the release or uptake of sucrose and aminoacids. Net efflux of sucrose and amino acids was reduced bya 250 mol m 3 mannitol solution and a 400 mol m 3solution, in comparison with a 100 mol m3 control. Thiseffect could not be observed in the case of the amino acid analogue-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB). Net uptake of labelled sucroseor valine by cotyledons and seed coats was enhanced by a highosmolality of the bathing medium. The data on AIB and the datafrom uptake experiments support the view that net efflux ofassimilates is reduced by a high solute concentration in theapoplast (e.g. 400 mol m3 mannitol), via a stimulationof carrier-mediated sucrose and amino acid uptake into cotyledonaryand seed coat tissues. In experiments with attached empty ovulesof pea in a very early stage of development, sugar release fromthe seed coat was enhanced by a low osmolality of the apoplastsolution (e.g. 100 mol m3 mannitol, in comparison witha 400 mol m 3 control). This paradoxical effect may beobserved when the stimulatory effect on net assimilate effluxfrom seed coat tissues is exceeding the inhibitory effect onassimilate import into the seed coat.

The effects of different NaCl concentrations on the growth andnitrogen fixation activity of white lupin (Lupinus albus [L.])was studied over a 6 d period. Plant growth parameters, photosynthesisand shoot respiration were unaffected by NaCl concentrationsup to 150 mol m3. However, nitrogenase activity decreasedwith increased NaCl concentration up to 100 mol m3, whilstthe O2 diffusion resistance increased with 100 mol m3NaCl, but showed no further change when 150 mol m3 NaClwas applied for 6 d. Increases in NaCl concentration decreasednodular starch content while increasing sucrose content, suggestingan osmotic regulation. These changes were associated with a77% decrease in sucrose synthase activity. The effect on theO2 diffusion resistance was paralleled by changes in glycoproteincontent of the nodules, as determined by immunogold localizationand ELISA. X-ray microanalysis studies of nodules showed that,following a 6 d exposure to 150 mol m3 NaCl, Na+ ionswere largely excluded from the infected zone, whilst only lowlevels of Cl- ions penetrated into this region. Na+ entry intoroots and leaves was also at a low level. Leghaemoglobin contentdecreased with saline stress, as did superoxide dismutase; whichdecreased by 36% following exposure to 100 mol m3 saltfor 6 d. These results are discussed in relation to the relativesalt tolerance of the Multolupa/ISLU-16 symbiosis.

In 614-day-old etiolated seedlings of Euphorbia lashyrisa latex triterpene synthesis of 19 µg day1 wasrecorded. This production was proportional to stem growth. Laticiferdistribution in the cotyledons and stem was studied. In ultra-thinsections the occurrence of many mitochondria was observed. A14C-latex triterpene synthesis was measured after 14C-glucoseand 14C-sucrose uptake by the cotyledons in which most of the14C-triterpenes were synthesized. 14C-incorporation into theselipids from [114C]glucose, [6-14C]glucose and [3,414points to a glycolytic catabolism of glucose prior to terpenesynthesis. The possible involvement of mitochondria in thissynthesis is discussed. Euphorbia lathyris, triterpene synthesis, laticifer, latex, mitochondria, ultrastructure 相似文献

Short-term (< 12 h) uptake experiments were conducted with67-week-old tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Ky 14)seedlings to determine absorption interactions between K+ andNH4+. At equal solution concentrations (0.5 mol m3) netK+ uptake was inhibited 3035% by NH4+ and NH4+ uptakewas decreased 924%. Removal of NH4+ resulted in completerecovery in K+ uptake rate, but NH4+ uptake rate did not recoverwhen K+ was removed. In both cases, inhibition of the uptakerate of one cation saturated as the concentration of the othercation was increased up to 0.5 mol m3. The relative effectof K+-NH4+ interactions was not altered when Cl- was replacedwith SO42, but the magnitudes of the uptake rates wereless in the absence of Cl-. The Vmax for NH4+ uptake was reducedfrom 128 to 105 µmol g1 dry wt. h1 in thepresence of 0.5 mol m3 K+ and the Km for NH4+ doubledfrom 12 to 27 mmol m3 in the presence of K+. The resultsof these K+-NH4+ experiments are interpreted as mixed-noncompetitiveinteractions. However, an enhanced efflux of K+ coupled to NH4+influx via an antiporter cannot be ruled out as contributingto the decrease in net K+ uptake.

Two approaches to quantifying relationships between nutrientsupply and plant growth were compared with respect to growth,partitioning, uptake and assimilation of NO3 by non-nodulatedpea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Marma). Plants grown in flowing solutionculture were supplied with NO3 at relative addition rates(RAR) of 0·03, 0·06, 0·12, and 0·18d1, or constant external concentrations ([NO3)of 3, 10, 20, and 100 mmol m3 over 19 d. Following acclimation,relative growth rates (RGR)approached the corresponding RARbetween 0·030.12 d-1, although growth was notlimited by N supply at RAR =0.18 d-1. Growth rates showed littlechange with [NO3] between 10100 mmol m3(RGR=0·15 0·16 d-1). The absence of growthlimitation over this range was suggested by high unit absorptionrates of NO3, accumulation of NO3 in tissues andprogressive increases in shoot: root ratio. Rates of net uptakeof NO3 from 1 mol m3 solutions were assessed relativeto the growth-related requirement for NO3, showing thatthe relative uptake capacity increased with RGR between 0·030·06d1 , but decreased thereafter to a theoretical minimumvalue at RGR 相似文献

Seedlings from Euphorbia canariensis and Euphorbia lambii weregrown in the dark at 25 °C. Protein and triglyceride contentas well as levels of sugars and amino acids in the endospermwere determined during endosperm depletion. In the endospermof Euphorbia canariensis, relatively low levels of amino acids(up to 1 µmol.endosperm1) were found of which glutamine/glutamateaccounted for 40% at the stage of radicle emergence. High levelsof amino acids (up to 4 µmol.endosperm1) comparedwith sugars (up to 2 µmol sucrose.endosperm1) weredetected in the endosperm of Euphorbia lambii. Arginine wasthe main component (28 µmol%) of the amino acids in thistissue. In both species amino acid composition changed graduallyduring endosperm depletion. Cotyledons retained their ability to absorb a variety of watersoluble substrates after removal of the endosperm. 14C from[U-14C]sucrose was effectively incorporated into the triterpenesof the laticifers and to a lesser extent into the sterols ofthe seedling. The highest incorporation values were found inyoung seedlings about 2 d after the emergence of the radicle.Seedlings of this age also showed high incorporation rates of14C from labelled alanine, serine, threonine, valine, leucineand isoleucine into both triterpenols and sterols, but no generalconclusions about metabolic channelling in lipid synthesis couldbe made.

Phosphate uptake rates in Synechococcus R-2 in BG-11 media (anitrate-based medium, not phosphate limited) were measured usingcells grown semi-continuously and in continuous culture. Netuptake of phosphate is proportional to external concentration.Growing cells at pHo 10 have a net uptake rate of about 600pmol m2 s1 phosphate, but the isotopic flux for32P phosphate was about 4 nmol m2 s1. There appearsto be a constitutive over-capacity for phosphate uptake. TheKm and Vmax, of the saturable component were not significantlydifferent at pHo 7.5 and 10, hence the transport system probablyrecognizes both H2PO4and HPO24. The intracellularinorganic phosphate concentration is about 3 to 10 mol m3,but there is an intracellular polyphosphate store of about 400mol m3. Intracellular inorganic phosphate is 25 to 50kJ mol1 from electrochemical equilibrium in both thelight and dark and at pHo 7.5 and 10. Phosphate uptake is veryslow in the dark ( 100 pmol m2 s1) and is light-activated(pHo 7.51.3 nmol m2 s1, pHo 10600 pmol m2s1). Uptake has an irreversible requirement for Mg2+in the medium. Uptake in the light is strongly Na+-dependent.Phosphate uptake was negatively electrogenic (net negative chargetaken up when transporting phosphate) at pHo 7.5, but positivelyelectrogenic at pHo 10. This seems to exclude a sodium motiveforce driven mechanism. An ATP-driven phosphate uptake mechanismneeds to have a stoichiometry of one phosphate taken up perATP (1 PO4 in/ATP) to be thermodynamically possible under allthe conditions tested in the present study.

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] seeds and cotyledons weregrown in an in vitro culture system to investigate the relationshipsbetween cell expansion (net water uptake by the seed) and drymatter accumulation. Seeds or cotyledons grown in a completenutrient medium containing 200 mol m3 sucrose continueddry matter accumulation for up to 16 d after in planta seedsreached physiological maturity (maximum seed dry weight). Seedor cotyledon water content increased throughout the cultureperiod and the water concentration remained above 600 g kg1fresh weight. These data indicate that the cessation of seeddry matter accumulation is controlled by the physiological environmentof the seed and is not a pre-determined seed characteristic.Adding 600 mol m3 mannitol to the medium caused a decreasein seed water content and concentration. Seeds in this mediumstopped accumulating dry matter at a water concentration ofapproximately 550 g kg1. The data suggest that dry matteraccumulation by soybean seeds can continue only as long as thereis a net uptake of water to drive cell expansion. In the absenceof a net water uptake, continued dry matter accumulation causesdesiccation which triggers maturation. Key words: Glycine max (L.)

Nodulated white clover plants (Trifolium repens L. cv. Huia)were grown as simulated swards for 71 d in flowing nutrientsolutions with roots at 11 C and shoots at 20/15 C, day/night,under natural illumination. Root temperatures were then changedto 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 or 25 C and the total N2, fixation over21 d was measured in the absence of a supply mineral N. Alltreatments were subsequently supplied with 10 mmol m2NO2 in the flowing solutions for 14 d, and the relativeuptake of N by N2, fixation and NO3 uptake was compared.Net uptake of K+ was measured on a daily basis. Root temperature had little effect on root d. wt over the 35-dexperimental period, but shoot d. wt increased by a factor of3.5 between 3 and 25 C, with the sharpest increase occurringat 711 C. Shoot: root d. wt ratios increased from 25to 68 with increasing temperature at 725 C. N2-fixationper plant (in the absence of NO2 ) increased with roottemperature at 313C, but showed little change above13 C. The ratios of N2 fixation: NO2 uptake over 14d (mol N: mol N) were 0.470.77 at 37 C, 092154at 1117 C, and 046 at 25 C, reflecting the dominanceof NO3 uptake over N2 fixation at extremes of high andlow root temperature. The total uptake of N varied only slightlyat 1125 C (095110 mmol N plant1),the decline in N2 fixation as root temperature increased above11 C was compensated for by the increase in NO 3 uptake.The % N in shoot dry matter declined with decreasing root temperature,from 32% at 13 C to 15% at 3 C. In contrast, concentrationsof N expressed on a shoot water content basis showed a modestdecrease with increasing temperature, from 345 mol m3at 3 C to 290 mol m3 at 25 C.

Mass spectrometry has been used to investigate the transportof CO2 in the freshwater diatom Navicula pelliculosa. The timecourseof CO2 formation in the dark after addition of 100 mmol m3dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) to cell suspensions showedthat no external carbonic anhydrase (CA) was present in thesecells. Upon illumination, cells pre-incubated at pH 75 with100 mmol m3 DIC, removed almost all free CO2 from themedium at an initial rate of 285 µmol CO2 mg1Chl h1. Equilibrium between HCO3 and CO2 in themedium occurred rapidly upon addition of bovine CA, showingthat CO2 depletion resulted from a selective uptake of CO2 ratherthan an uptake of all inorganic carbon species. However, photosyntheticO2 evolution rate remained constant after CO2 had been depletedfrom the medium indicating that photosynthesis is sustainedprimarily by active HCO3 uptake. Treatment of cells with2-iodoacetamide (83 mol m3) completely inhibited CO2fixation but had little effect on CO2 transport since initialrates of CO2 depletion were about 81% that of untreated cells.Transfer of iodoacetamide-treated cells to the dark caused arapid increase in the CO2 concentration in the medium largelydue to the efflux of the unfixed intracellular DIC pool whichwas found to be about 194 times the concentration of that inthe external medium. These results indicate that Navicula pelliculosaactively takes up molecular CO2 against a concentration gradientby a process distinct from HCO3 transport.

Influx and Efflux of Phosphorus in Roots of Wheat Plants in Non-Growth-Limiting Concentrations of Phosphorus 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The regulation of net phosphorus uptake was studied in wheatplants at ambient non-growth-limiting P-concentrations. Wheat(Triticum aestivum cv. Klein Atalaya) seedlings were grown fromgermination in culture solutions containing 0.05, 0.5 and 5.0mol m3 phosphate. Only small increments in plant P-concentrationand specific accumulation rate for phosphorus were found whenambient P-concentration was increased 100 times. P-influx, estimatedby 32P-uptake, was markedly greater with increased externalP-concentration, but only small changes in Vmax and no changesin Km were found. Indirect estimation of P-efflux in a time-courseof 32P-uptake, and direct P-efflux measurements in washout experiments indicated that P-efflux markedly increasedin higher ambient P-concentration. The increase in P-effluxalmost completely neutralized the higher P-influx observed in5.0 mol m3 relative to 0.05 mol m3 phosphate.It is postulated that in non-limiting P-concentration net P-uptakeis mainly controlled by P-efflux.

Atwell, B. J. and Green way, H. 1987. The relationship betweengrowth and oxygen uptake in hypoxic rice seedlings.J.exp. Bot. 38: 454465. Rice seedlings (Oryza saliva L.) were grown in the dark forup to 4 d in solutions containing various concentrations ofO2. Compared with seedlings grown at 0·250 mol O2 m3,the dry weight of the growing seedling was 14% lower at 0·110mol O2 m3 and 60% lower at 0 mol O2 m3. Decreasesin fresh weight were similar but not identical to decreasesin dry weight, possibly because leaf growth was suppressed evenabove 0·110 mol O2 m3. Oxygen deficiency inhibitedroot growth more severely than coleoptile growth. Coleoptiles from seedlings grown in aerated solution were exposedto an atmosphere of pure N2 for 30 min. Anoxia caused a declinein ATP content and energy charge, suggestive of decreased oxidativephosphorylation. It is not clear whether the decline in oxidativephosphorylation was solely responsible for impaired growth inhypoxia. In seedlings growing at O2 concentrations less than 0·110mol O2 m3, significant amounts of ethanol were synthesized.The rate of O2 uptake decreased markedly below 0·06 molO2 m3; this was presumably near the external O2 concentrationat which oxidative phosphorylation became limited by the supplyof O2. The stage of development of the seedlings appeared toinfluence O2 uptake, possibly through changes in conductanceof the tissue to O2. Uncouplers were used to confirm that thecritical O2 concentration was dependent on O2 diffusion ratherthan enzyme kinetics. Impaired growth above 0·110 molO2 m3 may have been due to a decreased activity of oxygenasesof relatively low affinity for O2, which in turn altered cellmetabolism.

The Regulation of Citric Acid Accumulation and Carbon Recycling During CAM in Ananas comosus 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The carbon balance of shade-grown Ananas comosus was investigatedwith regard to nitrogen supply and responses to high PAR. Netdark CO2 uptake was reduced from 61.2 to 38.5 mmol CO2 m2in N limited (N) plants grown under low PAR (60 µmolm2 s1) and apparent photon yield declined from0.066 to 0.034 (mol 02.mol1 photon), although photosyntheticcapacities (measured under 5% CO2) were similar. Following transferfor 7 d to high PAR (600. µmol m2 s1), netCO2 uptake at night increased by 14% in +N plants, and daytimephotosynthetic capacity was higher, with a maximum value of7.8 µmol m2 s1. The magnitude of dark CO2 fixation during CAM was measured asdawndusk variations in leaf-sap titratable acidity (H+)and as the proportion of malic and citric acids. The contributionfrom re-fixation of respiratory CO2 recycling (measured as thedifference between net CO2 uptake and malic acid accumulation)varied with growth conditions, although it was generally lower(30%) than reported for other bromeliads. Assuming a stoichiometryof 2H+: malate and 3H+: citrate, there was a good agreementbetween titratable protons and enzymatically determined organicacids. The accumulation of citric acid was related to nitrogensupply and PAR regime, increasing from 7.0 mol m3 (+Nplants) to 18 mol m3 (N plants) when plants weretransferred to high PAR; malate: citrate ratios decreased from13.1 to 2.5 under these conditions. Under the low PAR regime, leaf-sap osmotic pressure increasedat night in proportion to malic acid accumulation. However,following the transfer to high PAR for 7 d, there was a muchgreater depletion of soluble sugars at night which correspondedto a decrease in leaf-sap osmotic pressure. Although a rolefor citric acid in CAM has not been properly defined, it appearsthat the accepted stoichiometry for CAM in terms of gas exchange,titratable acidity, malic acid and osmotic pressure may nothold for plants which accumulate citric acid.

The Partitioning of Nitrate Assimilation Between Root and Shoot of a Range of Temperate Cereals and Pasture Grasses 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Nitrate reductase activity (NRA, in vivo assay) and nitrate(NO-3) content of root and shoot and NO-3 and reduced nitrogencontent of xylem sap were measured in five temperate cerealssupplied with a range of NO-3 concentrations (0·120mol m3) and three temperate pasture grasses suppliedwith 0·5 or 5 0 mol m3 NO-3 For one cereal (Hordeumvulgare L ), in vitro NRA was also determined The effect ofexternal NO-3 concentration on the partitioning of NO-3 assimilationbetween root and shoot was assessed All measurements indicatedthat the root was the major site of NO3 assimilation in Avenasatwa L, Hordeum vulgare L, Secale cereale L, Tnticum aestivumL and x Triticosecale Wittm supplied with 0·1 to 1·0mol m3 NO-3 and that for all cereals, shoot assimilationincreased in importance as applied NO-3 concentration increasedfrom 1.0 to 20 mol m3 At 5.020 mol m3 NO3,the data indicated that the shoot played an important if notmajor role in NO-3 assimilation in all cereals studied Measurementson Lolium multiflorum Lam and L perenne L indicated that theroot was the main site of NO-3 assimilation at 0.5 mol m3NO-3 but shoot assimilation was predominant at 5.0 mol m3NO-3 Both NRA distribution data and xylem sap analysis indicatedthat shoot assimilation was predominant in Dactylis glomerataL supplied with 0.5 or 5.0 mol m3 NO-3 Avena sativa L., oats, Hordeum vulgare L., barley, Secale cereale L., rye, x Triticosecale Wittm., triticale, Triticum aestivum L., wheat, Dactylis glomerata L., cocksfoot, Lolium multiflorum Lam., Italian ryegrass, Lolium perenne L., perennial ryegrass, nitrate, nitrate assimilation, nitrate reductase activity, xylem sap 相似文献

Millhouse, J. and Strother, S. 1987. Further characteristicsof salt-dependent bicarbonate use by the seagrass Zostera muelleri.J.exp. Bot. 38: 10551068. The contribution of HCO3to photosynthetic O2 evolutionin the seagrass Zostera muelleri Irmisch ex Aschers. increasedwith increasing salinity of the bathing seawater when the inorganiccarbon concentration was kept constant. K1/2 (seawater salts)for HCO3 -dependent photosynthesis was 66% of seawatersalinity. Both short- and long-term pretreatment at low salinitiesstimulated photosynthesis in full strength seawater. Twentyfour hours pre-incubation of seagrass plants in 3·0 molm3 NaHCO3 resulted in increased photosynthesis at allsalinities, apparently due to stimulation of HCO3 use(K1/2 (seawater salts) = 26%). Vmax (HCO3) was not affectedby low salinity pretreatment. The kinetics of HCO3 stimulationby the major seawater cations was investigated. Ca2+ was themost effective cation with the highest Vmax (HCO3) andwith K1/2(Ca2+) = 14 mol m3. Mg2+ was also very effectiveat less than 50 mol m3 but higher concentrations wereinhibitory. This inhibition cannot be accounted for solely byprecipitation of MgCO3. Na+ and K+ were both capable of stimulatingHCO3 use. Stimulation was in two distinct parts. Up to500 mol m3, both citrate and chloride salts gave similarresults (K1/2(Na+) 81 mol m3, Vmax(HCO3) 0·26µmol O2 mg1 chl min1), but use of citratesalts above 500 mol m2 caused a second stimulation ofHCO3 use (K1/2(Na+) 830 mol m3, Vmax(HCO3)0·68 µmol O2 mg1 chl min1). Vmax(HCO3)for the second-phase Na+ or K+ stimulation was of the same orderas for Ca2+-stimulated HCO3 use. To further characterizesalt-dependent HCO3 use, the sensitivity of photosynthesisto Tris and TES buffers was investigated. The effects of Trisappear to be due to the action of Tris+ causing stimulationof HCO3 -dependent photosynthesis in the absence of salt,but inhibition of HCO3 use in saline media. TES has noeffect on photosynthesis. External carbonic anhydrase, althoughimplicated in salt-dependent HCO3 use in Z. muelleri,could not be detected in whole leaves.

Nitrate Inhibition of Chloride Influx in Barley: Implications for a Proposed Chloride Homeostat 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Net accumulation of Cl by intact barley plants was virtuallyeliminated in roots and reduced by 40% in shoots when externalmedia (0.5 mol m3 CaSO4 plus 05 mol m3KCI) were supplemented with 0.25 mol m Ca(NO3)2. Plasmalemma36Cl influx (oc) was shown to be insensitive to externalNO3- in plants which had previously been grown in solutionslacking 3, but oc became sensitive to NO3-after a lagperiod of 36 h. Kinetic analyses revealed that the inhibitionof 36C1 influx by external NO3- was complex. At 0.25mol m3 NO3- the Vmax for Cl influx was reducedby greater than 50%, with insignificant effects upon Km. At0.5 mol m3 NO3- there was no further effect upon Vmaxbut Km for influx increased from 38±5 mmol m3to 116±26 mmol m3. By contrast, Cl effluxwas found to be insensitive to external NO3-. A model for theregulation of Cl influx is proposed which involves bothnegative feedback effects from vacuolar NO3- +Cl) concentrationand (external) NO3- inhibition of Cl influx at the plasmalemma.These combined effects serve to discriminate against Claccumulation, favouring NO3- accumulation, when the latter ionis available. Such observations are inconsistent with recentproposals for the existence of bona fide homeostats for chlorideaccumulation in higher plants.

[1-14C]-ethanol supplied to the cotyledons of 9-d-old Euphorbialathyris seedlings was rapidly incorporated into unsaponifiablelipids, particularly into sterols, latex triterpenols and intothe triterpene ketones of the epicuticular wax. The [14C]-triterpenoidproduction from ethanol was hardly affected by sucrose in theexternal medium when sucrose uptake rates were low, but whenthe uptake rate was higher the [14C]-triterpenoid productionfrom [14C]-ethanol was greatly reduced. This observation isconsistent with the proposition that at high sucrose uptakerates, some sucrose is converted into ethanol, so that the incorporationof [14C]-ethanol into triterpenoids is reduced by competitionwith endogenously formed ethanol. A calculation based on theputative daily ethanol production in the cotyledons and thedaily triterpenoid production of seedlings indicates that about10 % of the triterpenoid synthesis in vivo may be from ethanol.

We have examined the long-term effects of NO3 concentrationson NO3 (15NO3) fluxes and cellular pool sizesin roots of intact 30-d-old wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. Courtot)grown hydroponically. Compartmental analysis was performed understeady-state conditions at five different levels of NO3concentration (from 0.1 up to 5 mol m3 taking into accountmetabolism and secretion into the xylem (Devienne et al., 1994).Nitrate and reduced nitrogen levels in the tissues were largelyindependent of external NO3 concentration although below1.5 mol m3 NO3; concentration limited plant growth.In the chamber, marked diurnal variations in net uptake occurredand, in the light, higher NO3 concentrations yieldedhigher NO3 uptake rates. After transfer of the plantsto the laboratory, the increase in net uptake linked to elevationof NO3; concentrations was even larger (from 0.1 to 8.8µmolh1 g1 FW) as a result of a marked increase (x1011) in the unidirectional influx at the plasmalemmawhile NO3 efflux was less enhanced (x 45). Underthese conditions, influx into the vacuole was also higher (x24) while efflux from the vacuole was little affected(x 13). NO3 concentrations within the cell compartmentswere estimated under the clas sical assumptions. The vacuolarconcentration was a little modified by NO3 availabilitywhereas that in the cytosol increased from about 10 mol m3to about 20 mol m3 indicating that (1) the absolute valuefor the cytosol was high and (2) it displayed only a small increasedespite very large changes in NO3 fluxes. NO3distribution within the cells did not seem to involve an activeaccumulation of NO3 in the vacuole. Key words: Wheat, ion transport, nitrate, 15N, compartmentation 相似文献

Dark uptake of inorganic 14C by offshore plankton was measuredat two depths at 36 stations in the Atlantic Ocean from 52°Sto 26°N, mainly along 30°W. The samples were incubatedfor 2 h with and without inhibition of biological activity withHgCl2. In addition, six time course experiments were performed.The mean dark uptake rate varied from 0.68 to 4.82 (µmolC m3 h1 over the transect and showed a significantpositive relationship with chlorophyll a. The dark uptake wasusually >5% of the maximum photosynthetic capacity (Pm),and higher values relative to Pm were associated with low valuesof Pm and not with high absolute dark values. A linear relationshipbetween dark uptake and Pm was found with a background value(y-axis intercept) of 0.51 (µmol C m3 h1and a slope of 0.77% of Pm. A major fraction of the dark signal,6680% of the total signal, persisted in bottles treatedwith HgCl2, indicating that most of the dark signal was independentof biological activity. Time course experiments showed a lineardark uptake with time for the first hours, whereafter the uptakeceased. At stations with low concentrations of inorganic nitrogen[>1 (µmol (NH4++NO3)], a second stage was observedafter 38 h, probably due to an increase in bacterialactivity. The results suggest three mechanisms for the darkvalue in short-term incubations in oligotrophic waters. A backgroundvalue independent of biomass and incubation time which was thedominant part of the dark signal in samples with very low phytoplanktonbiomass (>0.3 p-g Chi a 1"). Another important part was residualsof 14C associated with plankton, probably adsorbed to compoundsinside the cells. This fraction was dominant in short-term incubationsat chlorophyll concentrations >0.3 p.g Chi a H. Active uptakeby living cells (total minus HgCl2 uptake) wasonly a minor part of the dark signal in short-term incubations,but dominated at longer incubation time (>39 h), probablydriven by an increase in bacterial activity. A significant enhancementof the non-photosynthetic uptake of 14C was observed in light,probably associated with a carbon-concentrating mechanism inphytoplankton or light stimulation of ß-carboxylationactivity. The results strongly suggest that dark values shouldbe subtracted from the light uptake. This correction is particularlyimportant when photosynthetic rates are low, e.g. at low lightor in short-term incubations where a time-zero background becomesa significant part of the total uptake in light.
