Negative phototropic response of rhizoid cells in the fern Adiantum capillus-veneris 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In general, phototropic responses in land plants are induced by blue light and mediated by blue light receptor phototropins. In many cryptogam plants including the fern Adiantum capillus-veneris, however, red as well as blue light effectively induces a positive phototropic response in protonemal cells. In A. capillus-veneris, the red light effect on the tropistic response is mediated by phytochrome 3 (phy3), a chimeric photoreceptor of phytochrome and full-length phototropin. Here, we report red and blue light-induced negative phototropism in A. capillus-veneris rhizoid cells. Mutants deficient for phy3 lacked red light-induced negative phototropism, indicating that under red light, phy3 mediates negative phototropism in rhizoid cells, contrasting with its role in regulating positive phototropism in protonemal cells. Mutants for phy3 were also partially deficient in rhizoid blue light-induced negative phototropism, suggesting that phy3, in conjunction with phototropins, redundantly mediates the blue light response. 相似文献

When synchronized cultures of a cell wall-deficient Chlamydomonasreinhardtii mutant strain were grown under heterotrophic conditionsand subsequently transferred to the light, a considerable decreaseof the cell number was observed during transition to the celldivision phase. Lethality of the wall-deficient cells was inducedby blue light, but not by red or far-red light, and could notbe prevented by addition of the photosystem II inhibitor DCMU.The light-induced lethality was found to be restricted to wall-deficientcells which were agitated by bubbling with filtered air or nitrogenor vigorously shaken during the transition to the cell divisionphase. Therefore, a (blue) light-induced sensitivity to anymechanical stress seems to be the cause for cell death. In heterotrophicallygrowing cultures of the Chlamydomonas wild-type, illuminationwith blue or white light did not cause a decrease of the cellnumber but only a delay of cell divisions. The latter effectwas also observed in case of the wall-deficient mutant. Bothblue light effects are observed during the transition to thecell division phase and can be induced during the same periodof the cell cycle. Furthermore, the (blue) light-induced lethalityof wall-deficient cells was found to be prevented when the transitionto the cell division phase was inhibited by addition of antibiotics.Therefore, we assume that there is a connection between theblue light-induced sensitivity to mechanical stress and theblue light-induced delay of cell divisions.

Chlorella cells incubated in the dark longer than 12 hr showedpronounced blue light-induced 14CO2 fixation into aspartate,glutamate, malate and fumarate (blue light effect), whereasthose kept under continuous light showed only a slight bluelight effect, if any. 2) During dark incubation of Chlorellacells, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activity and the capacityfor dark 14CO2 fixation decreased significantly, whereas ribulose-1,5-diphosphatecarboxylase activity and the capacity for photosynthetic 14CO2fixation (measured under illumination of white light at a highlight intensity) did not decrease. 3) In cells preincubatedin the dark, intracellular levels of phosphoenolpyruvate and3-phosphoglycerate determined during illumination with bluelight were practically equal to levels determined during illuminationwith red light. 4) The blue light effect was not observed incells incubated widi chloramphenicol, indicating that blue light-inducedprotein synthesis is involved in the mechanism of the effect.

Blue- and green-light signals for gamete release in the brown alga, Silvetia compressa 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The intertidal brown alga Silvetia compressa releases gametes from receptacles (the reproductive tissue) rapidly upon a dark transfer (following a photosynthesis-dependent period in the light, termed potentiation). In this study, the wavelength-dependence of this process was investigated. During the potentiation period in white light (WL), gametes are not released. However, gametes were released during potentiation in blue light (BL), or in low red light/blue light (RL/BL) ratios, but not in RL alone, high RL/BL ratios, or in broadband blue-green light (B-GL) (presence of BL, but absence of RL). RL was as effective as WL for potentiation, i.e., both lead to gamete release following transfer to darkness. Rates of linear photosynthetic electron transport were similar in RL and BL. Gamete release in BL was inhibited by equal amounts of additional narrow-waveband light between the green and red regions of the spectrum, with light-induced gamete release restricted between <491 nm and 509 nm. Very little light-induced gamete release occurred between 530 nm and 650 nm. It is proposed that a BL-responsive photoreceptor is responsible for light-induced gamete release. Transfer of WL-potentiated receptacles to GL near 530 nm resulted in significant de-potentiation and reduced gamete release during a subsequent dark transfer. This effect was not seen at 509 nm or 560 nm and revealed the presence of a second photoreceptor system repressing or counteracting potentiation in the light. We propose that the restriction of gamete release to periods when irradiance is blue-shifted may constitute a depth-sensing mechanism for this intertidal alga, allowing controlled release of gametes at high tide and/or less turbid periods, thus minimizing gamete dilution, and promoting fertilization success. 相似文献

Protoplasts isolated from the apical segments of Cuscuta reflexa exhibited blue light-sensitive PM-linked NADH oxidase activity and increased rate of Ca2+-uptake in presence of NADH in dark, which was also stimulated by blue light. Contrary to marginal inhibition by Con A treatment, the ATPase inhibitors significantly inhibited the Ca2+ uptake by the protoplasts both in dark and under blue light. The Ca2+-calmodulin antagonists, W-7 and calmidazolium, also inhibited Ca2+-uptake by protoplasts under similar conditions. The state of PM polarization was monitored by the fluorescent dye 9-amino acridine. It was observed that PM-linked NADH oxidation caused hyperpolarization of the membrane, the exposure of which to blue light resulted in membrane depolarization. The presence of Ca2+-calmodulin antagonists or Con A treatment completely abolished the blue light-induced membrane depolarization. It is argued that these actities at the PM, having some glycoproteic components, are functionally closely involved in blue light-induced signal transduction in Cuscuta 相似文献

Light stimulates leaf expansion in dicotyledons by increasingapoplastic acidification, cell wall loosening and solute accumulationfor turgor maintenance. Red and blue light enhance growth viadifferent photo-systems, but the cellular location and modesof action of these systems is not known. Here, the effect of red and blue light was studied on transportprocesses in epidermal cells of expanding leaves of the Argenteummutant of Pisum satlvum. Both red and blue light caused extraceiiuiaracidification by isolated epidermal tissue, which was stimulatedby extracellular K+ and inhibited by DCCD at 0.1 mol m3.Acidification induced by red compared with blue light showeddifferent saturating kinetics in fluence rate-response curves.Under near saturating light conditions the effects of red andblue light were additive. The red light-induced acidificationwas inhibited by far-red light while the blue light-inducedacidification was not. Light caused a hyperpoianzation of themembrane potential in epidermal strips, and stimulated 86Rb+uptake by epidermal protoplasts. These results show that phytochromeand an additional blue light-photoreceptor function in isolatedepidermal cells to promote proton efflux, hyperpolarization,and cation uptake.

Summary To establish a genetic system for dissection of light-mediated signal transduction in plants, we analyzed the light wavelengths and promoter sequences responsible for the light-induced expression of the Arabidopsis thaliana chalcone synthase (CHS) promoter fused to the -glucuronidase (GUS) marker gene. Transgenic A. thaliana lines carrying 1975, 523, 186, and 17 by of the CHS promoter fused to the GUS gene were generated, and the expression of these chimeric genes was monitored in response to high intensity light in mature plants and to different wavelengths of light in seedlings. Fusion constructs containing 1975 and 523 by of CHS promoter sequence behaved identically to the endogenous CHS gene under all conditions. Expression of these constructs was induced specifically in response to high intensity white light and blue light. The response to blue light was seen in the presence of the Pfr form of phytochrome. Fusion constructs containing 186 by of promoter sequence showed reduced basal levels of expression and only weak stimulation by blue light but were induced significantly by high intensity white light. These analyses showed that the expression of the A. thaliana CHS gene is responsive to a specific blue light receptor and that sequences between — 523 and — 186 by are required for optimal basal and blue light-induced expression of this gene. The experiments lay the foundation for a simple genetic screen for light response mutants. 相似文献

Blue light-induced chloroplast accumulation and avoidance relocation movements are controlled by the blue light photoreceptor
phototropin. The Arabidopsis thaliana genome has two phototropin genes encoding phot1 and phot2. Each of these photoreceptors contains two LOV (light oxygen and
voltage) domains and a kinase domain. The LOV domains absorb blue light though an associated flavin mononucleotide chromophore,
while the kinase domain is thought to be associated with signal transduction. The phototropins control not only chloroplast
relocation movement, but also blue light-induced phototropic responses, leaf expansion and stomatal opening. Here I review
the role of phototropin as a photoreceptor for chloroplast photorelocation movement.

Calcium-calmodulin signalling is involved in light-induced acidification by epidermal leaf cells of pea, Pisum sativum L. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Pathways of signal transduction of red and blue light-dependentacidification by leaf epidermal cells were studied using epidermalstrips of the Argenteum mutant of Pisum sativum. In these preparationsthe contribution of guard cells to the acidification is minimal.The hydroxypyridine nifedipine, a Ca2+-channel blocker, partlyinhibited the response to both blue and red light, while thephenylalkylamine, verapamil, a Ca2+-channel blocker that hasbeen shown in plant cells also to block K+-channels, causednearly complete inhibition. The Ca2+-channel activator S()BayK 8644 induced acidification when added in the dark and diminishedthe light-induced lowering of the extracellular pH. The Ca2+-ionophores,ionomycin and A23187
[GenBank]
, also reduced the light response. Furthermore,the light-induced acidification was inhibited by the calmodulinantagonists W-7 and trifluoperazine, but not by W-5. These calmodulininhibitors completely inhibited the red light-induced acidification,but inhibited the response to blue light by only 6070%.In general, inhibition by compounds affecting Ca-calmodulinsignalling was always stronger on the red light response thanthat on the blue light response (with the exception of verapamilthat blocked both the red and blue light responses equally well).This differential effect on red and blue light-induced responsesindicates a role for Ca2+-CaM signalling in both the red andblue light responses, while a second process, independent ofCa2+ is activated by blue light.

In a new strain of short-day duckweed (Lemna paucicostata T-101), blue and far-red light-induced inhibition of flowering was investigated. Flowering of this strain failed to be induced under a short-day photoperiod of blue and far-red light, although it responded as a typical short-day plant in red and white light. When the short-day photoperiod of blue or far-red light was terminated by a 15 min red light pulse, flowering recovered completely. This inducing effect of red light was reversed by subsequent exposure to far-red light. Furthermore, it could be demonstrated that 30 min of blue light completely reversed the flowering inductive effect of 5 min red light and vice versa. Evidence is presented suggesting that the inhibitory action of blue and far red light may be due to the lowering of phytochrome Pfr levels below those required to start the dark reactions which lead to flowering. These results are discussed in relation to the time measurement system of photoperiodism. 相似文献

Complex photoreceptor pathways exist in algae to exploit light as a sensory stimulus. Previous studies have implicated calcium in blue‐light signaling in plants and algae. A photophobic response to high‐intensity blue light was characterized in the marine benthic diatom Navicula perminuta (Grunow) in van Heurck. Calcium modulators were used to determine the involvement of calcium in the signaling of this response, and the fluorescent calcium indicator Calcium Crimson was used to image changes in intracellular [Ca2+] during a response. A localized, transient elevation of Calcium Crimson fluorescence was seen at the cell tip at the time of cell reversal. Intracellular calcium release inhibitors produced a significant decrease in the population photophobic response. Treatments known to decrease influx of extracellular calcium had no effect on the population photophobic response but did cause a significant decrease in average cell speed. As the increase in intracellular [Ca2+] at the cell tip corresponded to the time of direction change rather than the onset of the light stimulus, it would appear that Ca2+ constitutes a component of the switching mechanism that leads to reversal of the locomotion machinery. Our current evidence suggests that the source of this Ca2+ is intracellular. 相似文献

Standardized laboratory techniques for the vegetative growth of the duckweedSpirodela polyrhiza (Lemnaceaé), and for formation as well as germination of their turions were described. Increasing photon fluence rates of blue or red
light increased the yield of turions. A specific stimulating effect of blue light was demonstrated under autotrophic but not
under mixotrophic conditions. Therefore the spectral composition of light is not important in mixotrophic formation of turions
whereas in autotrophic formation light sources with a higher portion of blue light are recommended. Dark-grown (etiolated)
turions showed accelerated germination and higher germination percentage in comparison with light-grown turions after induction
by a single red light pulse. This difference was overcome in continuous red light by speeding up the germination response
of light-grown turions. Use of Petri dishes (8 cm3 nutrient solution) instead of Erlenmeyer flasks (50 cm3 nutrient solution) retarded germination response. Especially for long term experiments the use of Erlenmeyer flasks is recommended.
Storage of turions for 72 h at 25 ‡C following at 5 ‡C in darkness after-ripening resulted in a decreased lag phase of the
light-induced germination both after induction by a single light pulse and in continuous light.

Fluence rate-response curves were generated for red-, far-red-, and blue-light-stimulated apical-hook opening in seedlings of several photomorphogenic mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. Compared to wild-type plants, hook opening was reduced in the phytochrome-deficient hy1, hy2, and hy6 mutants in red and far-red light at all fluence rates tested, and in low-fluence blue light, but was normal under high-irradiance blue light. In contrast, the blue-light-response mutants (blu1, blu2, and blu3) lacked the high-irradiance-dependent hook-opening response in blue light while hook opening was normal in low-fluence blue light and in red and farred light at all fluence rates tested. Hook opening in the phytochrome-B-deficient hy3 mutant was similar to wild type in all light conditions tested. The effects of the different mutations on light-induced hook opening indicate that a phytochrome(s) other than phytochrome B mediates hook opening stimulated by red, far-red and lowfluence blue light, while a blue-light-absorbing photoreceptor mediates the blue-light-sensitive high-irradiance response. Although the phytochrome and blue-light photosensory systems appear to work independently for the most part, some of their signal-transduction components may interact since the hy4, and hy5 mutants showed reduced hook-opening responses under conditions dependent on the phytochrome and blue-light-photosensory systems.We thank Jeff Young and Brian Parks for their many helpful suggestions during the progress of this research.

Leaf pavement cell expansion in light depends on apoplastic acidification by a plasma membrane proton-pumping ATPase, modifying cell wall extensibility and providing the driving force for uptake of osmotically active solutes generating turgor. This paper shows that the plant hormone ABA inhibits light-induced leaf disk growth as well as the blue light-induced pavement cell growth in pea (Pisum sativum L.). In the phytochrome chromophore-deficient mutant pcd2, the effect of ABA on the blue light-induced apoplastic acidification response, which exhibits a high fluence phase via phytochrome and a low fluence phase via an unknown blue light receptor, is still present, indicating an interaction of ABA with the blue light receptor pathway. Furthermore, it is shown that ABA inhibits the blue light-induced apoplastic acidification reversibly. These results indicate that the effect of ABA on apoplastic acidification can provide a mechanism for short term, reversible adjustment of leaf growth rate to environmental change.Key Words: ABA, apoplastic acidification, blue light, epidermal pavement cell growth, leaf growth, pea (Pisum sativum L.), signal integration 相似文献

Since light-induced organellae aggregation in the siphonaceous alga Vaucheria sessilis (Vauch.) D.C. is accompanied by the formation of a cortical fiber reticulum in the light, we proposed that this process of reticulation might be causally related to aggregation (Blatt and Briggs, 1980). In this paper we report the tentative identification of actin filaments and filament bundles in the cortical cytoplasm of V. sessilis, and present additional evidence, obtained using the inhibitors cytochalasin B and phalloidin and indicating that aggregation in response to low-intensity point irradiation with blue light is dependent upon the formation of a cortical fiber reticulum. Phalloidin stabilized the cortical fibers, preventing both reticulum formation and organelle aggregation in blue light. Cytochalasin B partially destabilized the cortical fibers to the extent of permitting light-induced reticulum formation and organelle aggregation in the light in the presence of phalloidin.C.I.W.-D.P.B.

In darkness, protonemal filaments of Ceratodon purpureus (Brid.) grow negatively gravitropically (upwards). Red light induces a positive phototropic response mediated by the photoreceptor
phytochrome. A red light treatment also has an inhibitory effect on the gravitropic response, an effect also mediated by phytochrome.
In this study the effects of blue light on phototropism and on gravitropism were analysed. Unilateral blue light resulted
in only a weak phototropic response, but markedly randomised growth direction. Blue light given together with a gravitropic
stimulus reversed the gravitropism, changing it from negative to positive (filaments grow downward). The effect of blue light
was also analysed with the mutant ptr116, which is defective in the biosynthesis of the phytochrome chromophore, and in a newly isolated mutant wwr2, which is positively gravitropic in darkness. Blue light induced the same reversal of gravitropism in ptr116 as in the wild type, indicating that phytochrome is not involved in this process. In wwr2 the direction of gravitropism was unaltered by the blue light treatment. Light also affects chlorophyll content and the size
of plastids, potential statoliths for gravitropism. Red light induced an increase in plastid size and chlorophyll content
in the wild type but not in ptr116. Blue light induced a similar change in wild type plastids. It seems as though light-induced alterations of gravitropism
are not simply mediated by alterations in plastid properties, and that red light and blue light evoke fundamentally different
responses.

Blue light induced stomatal opening has been studied by applying a short pulse (~5 to 60 s) of blue light to a background of saturating photosynthetic red photons, but little is known about steady-state stomatal responses. Here we report stomatal responses to blue light at high and low CO2 concentrations. Steady-state stomatal conductance (gs) of C3 plants increased asymptotically with increasing blue light to a maximum at 20% blue (120 μmol m−2 s−1). This response was consistent from 200 to 800 μmol mol−1 atmospheric CO2 (Ca). In contrast, blue light induced only a transient stomatal opening (~5 min) in C4 species above a Ca of 400 μmol mol−1. Steady-state gs of C4 plants generally decreased with increasing blue intensity. The net photosynthetic rate of all species decreased above 20% blue because blue photons have lower quantum yield (moles carbon fixed per mole photons absorbed) than red photons. Our findings indicate that photosynthesis, rather than a blue light signal, plays a dominant role in stomatal regulation in C4 species. Additionally, we found that blue light affected only stomata on the illuminated side of the leaf. Contrary to widely held belief, the blue light-induced stomatal opening minimally enhanced photosynthesis and consistently decreased water use efficiency. 相似文献
