Localization of redox active substance(s) in chloroplast envelopeswas revealed by means of the oxidation of Cyt c by isolatedouter and inner envelope preparations. Irradiated chloroplastsreduced extra-chloroplastic Cyt c probably by an envelope electrontransfer chain. The rate was saturated at a level of about 10µmol (mg Chl)1 h1 under weak light of 10µEm2 s1. Cyt c photoreduction was inhibited by DCMUbut not by 2,5-dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl-p-benzoquinone (DBMIB)indicating that the plastoquinone site is the junction of photosyntheticelectron transfer chain to envelope redox substance. Completesuppression of the non-cyclic photophosphorylation of thylakoidsby the presence of envelope membranes indicates that there isan alternative electron transfer path-way in envelope membranesthat bypasses over the pH-forming plastoquinone shuttle in thephotosynthetic electron transfer chain.

When assays for NAD(P)H-ferricyanide oxidoreductases were performed,activities specific for NADH (0.23 unit (mg protein)1)and NADPH (0.68 unit (mg protein)1) were detected inchloroplasts isolated from leaves of barley (Hordeum vulgareL.). Activities of chloroplast NADH- and NADPH-ferricyanideoxidoreductase were 5-fold and 25-fold higher, respectively,than the maximum activity that could be attributed to mitochondrialcontamination. Moreover, most of the chloroplast NADH-ferricyanideoxidoreductase (60 to 80%) was solubilized by deoxycholate (DOC)from thylakoids as a single, high-molecular-mass complex thatwas distinguishable from the mitochondrial complex by its lowerelectrophoretic mobility in 3% polyacrylamide, as revealed byreduction of nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) in the presence ofNADH or NADPH on gels after electrophoresis. The stroma yieldeda single band of a dehydrogenase (66 kDa) that used NADH asits electron donor. Several NADPH-dependent activities weredetected after electrophoresis of the stromal fraction. Moreover,chloroplast-specific activities could be distinguished frommitochondrial activities on the basis of the specificity ofthe donor and the acceptor of electrons, the dependence of theactivities on pH, and the sensitivity to various inhibitors.Km values for NADH (26 µM) and NADPH (75 µM) werein the same range as those of mitochondrial activities. Mostof the NADPH-dependent activity probably corresponds to thechloroplast ferredoxin-NADP+ oxidoreductase. The possibilityis discussed that thylakoid NADH dehydrogenase(s) might be theproduct of chloroplast ndh genes and that this activity is involvedin chlororespiration.

Intact chloroplasts from young pea leaves were able to incorporate[3H]thymidine into DNA at relatively high rates (50 pmol mg1chlorophyll h1 or more), using light as the sole energysource. The intact plastids were also able to synthesize DNAin darkness, but only if ATP and MgCl2 (MgATP) were both present.The rates of MgATP-driven assimilation in darkness were equalto or greater than light-driven activity. Neither light nordithiothreitol pretreatments enhanced thymidine incorporationin darkness, suggesting that enzymes of chloroplast DNA (ctDNA)biosynthesis are not regulated via a thioredoxin-type system.Although exogenous nucleosides (other than [3H]thymidine) werenot an absolute requirement, dramatically elevated rates ofincorporation (over 300 pmol mg1 chlorophyll h1)were seen when adenosine, cytidine, guanosine and thymidinewere supplied in combination (500 mmol m3 each). RadiolabelledDNA synthesized by the isolated chloroplasts was prepared usinga new heat extraction method. After digestion by restrictionendonucleases, ctDNA synthesized in organello was found to givetypical autoradiography patterns for chloroplast DNA. ExonucleaseIII studies suggested that 5% to 15% of the newly synthesizedDNA might be in a closed circular form. MgATP-driven synthesisin darkness was highly age-dependent. Chloroplasts from young(6 to 8-d-old) plants, or alternatively the youngest leavesof more mature plants, were 410 times more active thanthose from older tissues. Although these data do not establishconclusively that replication-type synthesis was occurring inthe isolated chloroplasts, they are consistent with this suggestion.

Chloroplast preparations from the young primary leaves of Phaseolusvulgaris L. cv. Canadian Wonder carry out the DNA-dependentincorporation of UTP into RNA at rates between 8 and 14 pmolUTP µg1 chlorophyll h1. It is estimatedthat 90% of the activity was localized in the chloroplasts.The incorporation proceeded for between 20 and 30 min at 35°C. The maximum rates of RNA synthesis were attained atpH 8.3, in the presence of 15 mM MgCl2. Chloroplasts were alsoactive, to a lesser extent, with 1.5 mM MnCl2. The simultaneouspresence of MnCl2 and MgCl2 resulted in inhibition of activity.Nuclear material prepared from young P. vulgaris leaves incorporatedUTP at a rate of about 12 pmol UTP µg1 DNA h1.On a chloroplast (Tritonsoluble) DNA basis chloroplast activitywas over 40-fold that of nuclei. Methods of solubilizing chloroplastRNA polymerase were explored. Yields of over 75% were achieved,but methods suitable for one species were not always successfulwhen applied to another. The highest yields of the P. vulgarisenzyme were obtained using EDTA and KCl. All methods resultedin solubilization of DNA. RNA synthesis by the soluble P. vulgarisenzyme proceeded for more than 40 min at 35 °C. 相似文献

Ecological studies on the phytoplankton of Boknafjorden, western Norway. II. Environmental control of photosynthesis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Both predicted (incubator) and measured (in situ) 14C-assimilationrates were studied from February to November 1981 at three stationsin Boknafjorden, a deep silled fjord of western Norway. Sampleswere taken from different light depths within the euphotic zone.A high degree of conformity was found between the two approaches.Daily values of carbon assimilation integrated over the euphoticzone varied between 0.05 and 1.4 g C m2. Yearly primaryproduction varied between stations from 82 to 112 g C m2(120148 g C m2 when based on average light conditions).The light-saturation curve parameters B and PBmax ranged from0.0056 to 0.0537 mg C mg Chla1 h1 µE1m2 and from 0.7 to 8.5 mg C mg Chla1 h2 (in situassimilation numbers ranged from 0.9 to 9.3 mg C mg Chla1h1) respectively, which compare well with those publishedfrom the northwestern side of the Atlantic. The overall importanceof light in controlling photosynthesis throughout the year wasrevealed by the light utilization index , estimated to be 0.43mg C mg Chla1 E1 m2. The maximum quantum yieldwas encountered on August 17, with 0.089 mol CE1. Chla/Cratios above and below 0.010 were found to be typical for shade-and light-adapted cells respectively. Assimilation numbers andgrowth rates were linearly related only when considering light-adaptedcells. Consistent with the findings of this study, the applicabilityof IK, B and PBmax as indicators of light-shade adaptation propertiesshould be questioned. Maximum growth rates were encounteredduring an autumn bloom of the dinoflagellate Gyrodinium aureolum(1.0 doublings day1), while 0.70.8 doublings day1were found for a winter bloom (water temperature of 2°C)of the diatom Skeletonema costatum. No unambiguous temperatureeffect on assimilation number and growth of phytoplankton couldbe recognized in Boknafjorden. A tendency towards increasedassimilation numbers coinciding with increased water columnstability was revealed. The highest PBmax values were oftenencountered at almost undetectable nutrient concentrations.At least during summer this could be attributed to recyclingof nutrients by macro- and/or microzooplankton, responsiblefor a greater part of the primary production now being grazeddown. This study supports the convention that the depth of theeuphotic zone may extend considerably below the 1% light depth. 相似文献

Wild carrot (Daucus carota var. carota) cell suspensions (63120µm in diameter) were grown on a mineral salt medium containingdifferent carbon sources in the presence (10 mM) and absenceof myo-inositol. The data obtained after 14 and 21 days of growthshow that an external supply of myo-inositol is not essentialfor growth and development of wild carrot embryos. A linearrelationship was found between growth (d. wt) and embryo numberin the presence and absence of myo-inositol. Standard stock cell suspensions never exposed to exogenous myo-inositoland grown in the absence of 2, 4-D with glucose or galactoseas the carbon source synthesized radioactive myo-inositol whenexposed to D-[114C]glucose or D-[114C]galactose.Gas chromatographic analyses revealed the presence of myo-inositolin the bulk tissue grown in the presence of 2.25 µM 2,4-D with glucose, galactose, fructose or mannose as the solecarbohydrate. We could not detect any component indicating anisomer or a methylated derivative of an inositol in the tissueextracts. Stock cultures were maintained (with 2, 4-D) successfully forat least three successive sub-cultures on D-galactose as thesole carbohydrate. The growth achieved over this culture periodshowed that wild carrot cells used by us could quickly adaptto grow on D-galactose as rapidly as they grow on sucrose.

Callus cultures of Nardostachys jatamansi DC. maintained onMurashige and Skoog's medium containing 3.0 mg 11 of-naphthaleneacetic acid and 0.25 mg 11 of kinetin whenshifted to medium containing 0.251.0 mg 11 ofindole-3-acetic acid or indole-3-butync acid showed profuserhizogenesis. The callus-regenerated roots when transferredto medium containing 2.06.0 mg 11 of kinetin producedshoot buds. The de novo shoot bud regeneration took place eitherdirectly from cortical cells or from the inner stelar region.In addition, direct, concomitant root-shoot development wasalso observed.

The relationships between photosynthesis and photosyntheticphoton flux densities (PPFD, P-l) were studied during a red-tideof Dinophysis norvegica (July-August 1990) in Bedford Basin.Dinophysis norvegica, together with other dinoflagellates suchas Gonyaulax digitate, Ceratium tripos, contributed {small tilde}50%of the phytoplankton biomass that attained a maximum of 16.7µg Chla 1 and 11.93 106 total cells I1.The atomic ratios of carbon to nitrogen for D.norvegica rangedfrom 8.7 to 10.0. The photosynthetic characteristics of fractionatedphytoplankton (>30 µm) dominated by D.norvegica weresimilar to natural bloom assemblages: o (the initial slope ofthe P-l curves) ranged between 0.013 and 0.047 µg C [µgChla]1 h1 [µmol m s1]1the maximum photosynthetic rate, pBm, between 0.66 and 1.85µg C [µghla]1 h1; lk (the photoadaptationindex) from 14 to 69 µ,mol m2 s1. Carbonuptake rates of the isolated cells of D.norvegica (at 780 µmolm2 s1) ranged from 16 to 25 pg C cell1h and were lower than those for C.tripos, G.digitaleand some other dinoflagellates. The variation in carbon uptakerates of isolated cells of D.norvegica corresponded with PBmof the red-tide phytoplankton assemblages in the P-l experiments.Our study showed that D.norvegica, a toxigenic dinoflagellate,was the main contributor to the primary production in the bloom. 相似文献

Yield stress threshold (Y) and volumetric extensibility () arethe rheological properties that appear to control root growth.In this study they were measured in wheat roots by means ofparallel measurement of the growth rate (r) of intact wheatroots and of the turgor pressures (P) of individual cells withinthe expansion zone. Growth and turgor pressure were manipulatedby immersion in graded osmoticum (mannitol) solutions. Turgorwas measured with a pressure probe and growth rate by visualobservation. The influence of various growth conditions on Yand was investigated; (a) At 27 °C.In 0.5 mol m3 CaCl2 r, P, Y and were20.7±4.6 µm min1, 0.77±0.05 MPa,0.07±0.03 MPa and 26±1.9 µm min1MPa1 (expressed as increase in length), respectively.Following 24 h growth in 10 mol m3 KC1 these parametersbecame 12.3±3.5 µm min1, 0.72±0.04MPa, 0.13±0.01 MPa and 21±0.7 µm min1MPa1. After 24 h osmotic adjustment in 150 mol m3mannitol/0.5 mol m3 CaCl2 r= 19.6±4.2 µmmin1, P = 0.68±0.05 MPa and Y and were 0.07±0.04MPa and 30±0.2 µm min1 MPa01, respectively.After 24 h growth in 350 mol m3 mannitol/0.5 mol m3CaCl2 r= 13.3±4.1 µm min1, P= 0.58±0.07MPa, Y=0.12±0.01 MPa and ø 32±0.2 tim min1MPa1. During osmotic adjustment in 200 mol m3mannitol/0.5 mol m3 CaCl2, with or without KCl, the recoveryof growth rate corresponded to turgor pressure recovery (t1/2approximately 3 h). (b) At 15 °C. Lowered temperature dramatically influencedthe growth parameters which became r= 8.3±2.8 um min1,P=0.78 MPa, r=<0.2 MPa and =15±0.1 µm min1MPa1. Therefore, Y and are influenced by 10 mol m3 K+ ionsand low temperature. In each case the effective pressure forgrowth (P-Y) was large indicating that small fluctuations ofsoil water potential will not stop root elongation.

Mesophyll protoplasts of one-month-old maize leaves were separatedenzymatically from bundle sheath strands, and purified by centrifugationthrough a Percoll layer. The protoplasts and BS strands wereessentially pure as judged by microscopy, chl a/b ratios, andlevels of enzyme markers (PEP carboxylase and NADP-malic enzyme).Chioroplasts were obtained from the protoplasts and from homogenates,and purified through Percoll. The distribution of four NAD P-linked dehydrogenases in tissuesand organdies was examined. NADP-triose phosphate dehydrogenasc,used as a chloroplast marker, shows high and comparable specificactivities in both main tissues. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenaseis located mainly in the mesophyll (at a specific activity of15.1 µmol h1 mg1chl in protoplasts) andis exclusively cytosolic. 6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase,also present in both tissue types, has a higher activity inthe BS (12.6 in purified strands versus 7.3 µmol h1mg1 chl in protoplasts). It is a cytosolic enzyme, althoughplastids may contain a low activity. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate:NADP reductasc is entirely in the mcsophyll cytoplasm (11.2µmol h1 mg1 chl). It is suggested that thecytoplasm of mcsophyll cells is a site of diversion of sugarphosphates for production of NADPH, at rates, however, compatiblewith the operation of the triose phosphate shuttle to bundlesheath cells for the synthesis of starch.

The values of P/U0 (Table I) and fluid velocity used to calculatethe energy required for sieving (pp. 12891290) and severalequations (footnote b of Table I; p. 1290, lines 34)are incorrect.

Formula from Jørgensen (1983). The text (p. 1289, line 19 to p. 1290, line 10) should read: organism. Using a similar argument, a 0.5 mm Ceriodaphnia witha filter area of 0.025 mm2 (Ganf and Shiel, 1985) and pressuredrop P = 2757 dyn cm2 (with fluid velocity of 0.07 cms1) allocates only 2171 ergs h1 to filtrationof a total energy expenditure of 104 ergs h1 [filtrationenergy (ergs h1) = area (cm2) x pressure drop (dyn cm2)x 3600 (s h1) x 1/0.2 (efficiency of conversion of biochemicalinto mechanical work); total energy (ergs h1) = respiration(0.05 µl O2 ind1 h1 consumed; Gophen, 1976)x conversion factor (2 x 105 ergs µl1 O2). Withan estimated 0.034 mm2 in filter area, fluid velocity of 0.041cm s1 and respiration of 1.8 x 104 ergs h1 (calculatedfrom Porter and McDonough, 1984), a 0.5 mm Bosmina uses <4%of its metabolism to overcome filter resistance. The velocities used in the original examples (0.4 cm s1for Ceriodaphnia, 0.2 cm s1 for Bosmina) were derivedfrom literature values of appendage beat rate and estimatesof the distance travelled by the appendages during each beatcycle. This approach unnecessarily assumes that all water movedpasses through the filter. In the new calculations, the flowacross the filter needed for food to be collected by sieving(0.07 cm s1 for Ceriodaphnia and 0.041 cm s1 forBosmina) was determined from the maximum clearance rate/filterarea. The amended energy expenditures, although higher, do notrefute the sieve model of particle collection. 相似文献

Enhanced suicidal death of erythrocytes from gene-targeted mice lacking the Cl-/HCO(3)(-) exchanger AE1 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Akel A Wagner CA Kovacikova J Kasinathan RS Kiedaisch V Koka S Alper SL Bernhardt I Wieder T Huber SM Lang F 《American journal of physiology. Cell physiology》2007,292(5):C1759-C1767
Genetic defects of anion exchanger 1 (AE1) may lead to spherocytic erythrocyte morphology, severe hemolytic anemia, and/or cation leak. In normal erythrocytes, osmotic shock, Cl removal, and energy depletion activate Ca2+-permeable cation channels with Ca2+-induced suicidal erythrocyte death, i.e., surface exposure of phosphatidylserine, cell shrinkage, and membrane blebbing, all features typical for apoptosis of nucleated cells. The present experiments explored whether AE1 deficiency favors suicidal erythrocyte death. Peripheral blood erythrocyte numbers were significantly smaller in gene-targeted mice lacking AE1 (AE1/ mice) than in their wild-type littermates (AE1+/+ mice) despite increased percentages of reticulocytes (AE1/: 49%, AE1+/+: 2%), an indicator of enhanced erythropoiesis. Annexin binding, reflecting phosphatidylserine exposure, was significantly larger in AE1/erythrocytes/reticulocytes (10%) than in AE1+/+ erythrocytes (1%). Osmotic shock (addition of 400 mM sucrose), Cl removal (replacement with gluconate), or energy depletion (removal of glucose) led to significantly stronger annexin binding in AE1/ erythrocytes/reticulocytes than in AE1+/+ erythrocytes. The increase of annexin binding following exposure to the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin (1 µM) was, however, similar in AE1/ and in AE1+/+ erythrocytes. Fluo3 fluorescence revealed markedly increased cytosolic Ca2+ permeability in AE1/ erythrocytes/reticulocytes. Clearance of carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester-labeled erythrocytes/reticulocytes from circulating blood was more rapid in AE1/ mice than in AE1+/+ mice and was accelerated by ionomycin treatment in both genotypes. In conclusion, lack of AE1 is associated with enhanced Ca2+ entry and subsequent scrambling of cell membrane phospholipids. annexin; cell volume; osmolarity; phosphatidylserine; energy depletion 相似文献

Intact chloroplasts were isolated from mesophyll and bundlesheath protoplasts of a C4 plant, Panicum miliaceum L., to measurethe uptake of [1-14C]pyruvate into their sorbitol-impermeablespaces at 4?C by the silicone oil filtering centrifugation method.When incubated in the dark, both chloroplasts showed similarslow kinetics of pyruvate uptake, and the equilibrium internalconcentrations were almost equal to the external levels. Whenincubated in the light, only mesophyll chloroplasts showed remarkableenhancement of the uptake, the internal concentration reaching1030 times of the external level after 5 min incubation.The initial uptake rate of the mesophyll chloroplasts was enhancedabout ten fold by light and was saturated with increasing pyruvateconcentration; Km and Vmax were 0.20.4 mM and 2040µmol(mg Chl)1 h1, respectively. The lightenhancement was abolished by DCMU and uncoupling reagents suchas carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone and nigericin. Theseresults indicate the existence of a light-dependent pyruvatetransport system in the envelope of mesophyll chloroplasts ofP. miliaceum. The uptake activity of mesophyll chloroplastsboth in the light and the dark was inhibited by sulfhydryl reagentssuch as mersalyl and p-chloromercuriphenylsulfonate, but thebundle sheath activity was insensitive to the reagents. Thesefindings are further evidence for the differentiation of mesophylland bundle sheath chloroplasts of a C4 plant with respect tometabolite transport.

By manipulation of various growth regulators and physical conditions,plants have been regenerated from excised roots, stem segments,cotyledons, leaves, and callus cultures of red cabbage (Brassicaoleracea var. capitata) grown under in vitro conditions. Shootbuds were induced on isolated root segments (1 cm long) culturedon Murashige and Skoog's medium and the frequency of bud formationwas greatly enhanced by the addition of kinetin (0.5 part 106).Callus obtained from the seeds, cotyledons, and hypocotyl segmentscultured on a medium fortified with 2,4-D (1 part 106),kinetin (0.1 part 106), and coconut milk (10%, v/v) hasbeen repeatedly subcultured. The callus is slow growing, andon transference to a kinetin (2 parts 106) and IAA (2parts 106) medium underwent morphogenesis to give riseto plants. The significance of the propagation of red cabbageby in vitro culture is pointed out. 相似文献

On the causes of interspecific differences in the growth-irradiance relationship for phytoplankton. II. A general review 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The causes of interspecific differences in the µ-l relationshipare examined in the context of a mechanistic model which relatesµ to irradiance in terms of six factors:, kc photosyntheticquotient (PQ), Chl a:C, respiration and excretion. The effectof cell size on the light saturated growth rate is also considered.It is shown that photosynthetic efficiency and PQ exhibit remarkablylittle interspecific variability, and average 0.024 ±0.005 µg C(µg Chl a)1 h1 (µEm2 s1)1 and 1.5 ± 0.2 mol 02 molC1 (when NO3 is the nitrogen source) respectively.Two useful relationships were derived: (i) between growth efficiency,g and Chl a:C at µ. = 0; (ii) between the compensationintensity, Ic and the Chl a-specific maintenance respirationrate. Both relationships were independent of temperature anddaylength. Species best adapted to growth at low light werefound to exhibit high Chl a:C ratios and low maintenance respirationrates. As a group, diatoms were consistently the best adaptedfor growth at low irradiance. Chiorophytes, haptophytes, chrysophytesand cryptophytes were intermediate in their performance at lowirradiance. Dinoflagellates exhibited extreme diversity, withspecies spanning the spectrum from very good performance atlow irradiance to very poor. A new µmax-cell carbon relationshipis given based on growth rates normalized to 15°C. Evidenceis presented to show that noise in this relationship can besignificantly reduced by using only carbon-specific growth ratesand using only data for species grown at the same daylength. 相似文献

Partially purified homoserine dehydrogenase was prepared frompea seedlings. The optimum pH for this enzyme is approximately 5.4. The Kmvaluesfor ASA and TPNH are 4.6xl04Af and 7.7xl05M, respectively.This enzyme can also utilize DPNH but less effectively thanTPNH. In contrast with yeast homoserine dehydrogenase whichis insensitive to SH reagents, the pea enzyme is inhibitedalmost completely by 104MPCMB and 105MHgCl2, theinhibition being removed by 102M thioglycolate. Homoserinedehydrogenase was found not only in decotylized seedlings, butalso in cotyledons. The significance of this enzyme in homoserine biosynthesis ingerminating pea seeds has been discussed.

Bot. 38:731751. The 42K influx () and the electrical conductance (Gm) were measured simultaneously for the membraneof internodal cells of Chara australis as a function of theexternal [KCl] (K?. In bathing solutions of pH = 5?0, progressively increased from 20?5to 430?60 nmol m2 s1 and Gm increased from 0?36?0?02to 3?8?0?8 S m2 when K? was increased from 0?1 to 10mol m3. The resting membrane potential difference (p.d.)was approximately -135 mV for low K? and approached the expectedNernst equilibrium p.d. for K+ ions when K? > 1?0 mol m3.Measurements of 36Cl influx suggested that the 42K influx waspredominantly electrogenic. The equivalent Goldman permeabilityto K+ ions (Pk) was approximately 2030 nm s1 anddid not vary significantly with increasing K?. The equivalentconductance attributable to the electrogenic transport of K+ ions was calculated from assuming passive, independent diffusionof K+ ions and the ratio was found to be typically close to one. It was also found that themagnitudes of and Gm measuredsimultaneously for each individual cell were also well correlatedfor K? 1?0 mol m3, and that the slope of the line ofbest fit was close to one. For each K? it was found that theconductance not attributable to K+ translocation and presumablyassociated primarily with the transport of protons or theirequivalents was typically 0?20?5 Sm2. For K? >1?0 mol m3 the results indicated that the transport ofK+ ions was essentially independent, i.e. there was no evidencefor flux interactions. The results also indicated that the equivalentconductance derived from the measured 42K influx could usefullyindicate the fraction of the electrical conductance attributableto the translocation of K+ ions.

The present study deals with structure and functioning of threeareas of Himalayan oak forest. Low- and mid-altitude oaks, namelyQuercus leucotrichophora, and Quercus floribunda, form predominantevergreen forests in Central and Western Himalaya. The totaltree basal cover ranged between 33·89 m2 ha1 (Q.floribunda site) to 36·83 m2 ha1 (Q. leucotrichophorasite). The density ranged between 570 and 760 individuals ha1.Allometric equations relating biomass of different tree componentsto GBH (girth at breast height) were significant with the exceptionof leaf biomass in Q. leucotrichophora and Rhododendron arboreum.Total vegetation biomass (29·40467·0 tha1) was distributed as 377·1 t ha1 intrees, 5·40 t ha1 in shrubs and 1·23 tha1 in herbs. Total forest floor biomass ranged between4·6 and 6·2 t ha1. Of the total annuallitter fall (4·74·8 t ha1), 77·5% was contributed by leaf litter, 17·8 % by wood litterand 4·7 % by miscellaneous litter. Turnover rate of treelitter varied from 0·66 to 0·70. Net primary productionof total vegetation ranged between 15·9 and 20·6t ha1 yr1, of which the contribution of trees,shrubs and herbs was 81·2 %, 8·6 % and 10·2%, respectively. A compartment model of dry matter on the basisof mean data across sites was developed to show dry matter storageand flow of dry matter within the system.

Photoadaptation in Antarctic phytopfankton: variations in growth rate, chemical composition and P versus I curves 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The response of phytoplankton to variations in the light regimewas studied during the VULCAN and ACDA cruises in the Antarctic.Unenriched batch cultures of 1219 days' duration reachedchl concentrations of 1050 µg1 and exhibitedexponential growth rates, with the maximal rate being 0.41 doubl,day1. Ice edge algae exhibited maximum growth rates atphoton flux densities (PFD) of 30100 µE m2S1and the growth rate was reduced by about 30% at 5001000µE m2S1 The chl/C ratio ranged between 0.004and 0.018, with the lowest ratios at PFDs above 500 µEm2S1 chl/C ratios were also below maximum at PFDsbelow 4050 µE m2S1 The C:N:P ratioswere close to the Redfield ratios; the Si/C ratio averaged 0.16(atoms), and the ATP/C ratio averaged from 0.0024 to 0.0050in different culture senes. When thawed after having been frozenfor 10 days, shade-adapted cultures were in a much better conditionthan sun-adapted ones. P versus I data showed that the maximumassimilation number varied from 0.75 to 4.4 µg C (µgchl)1h1. It varied inversely with the chl/C ratio;therefore the maximum carbon turnover rate varied little betweensamples (0.024/0.035 h1). Low biomass communities exhibitedrelatively high values for (the initial slope of P versus Icurves), low values for 1sat (160330 µE m2S1),and they were susceptible to photoinhibition. In contrast, communitiesdominated by Odontella weissflogii exhibited low values for, a high value for Isat (560 µE m2S1 andthey tolerated high PFDs. The photo-adaptational status of thephytoplankton in natural water samples is discussed relativeto the profile of water column stability and mixing processes. 相似文献

Intact amyloplasts isolated from liquid-cultured white-wildcells of sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) were further subfractionatedinto internal membranes (d=1.05g/ml), envelope membranes (d=1.12g/ml)and stromal fraction, which contained each characteristic polypeptidecomposition as revealed by the Na-dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamidegel electrophoresis. Absorption spectra of internal and envelopemembranes were distinctly different. By the immunoblotting analysis,it was shown that the amyloplast envelope membranes contain31 kDa Pi-translocator, although it is not the predominant polypeptidecomponent in contrast to the case of chloroplast envelope. Onehundred kDa -l,4-glucan phosphorylase (plastid type) was detectedin the stromal fraction of amyloplasts using the specific antibodyraised against the major form of -l,4-glucan phosphorylase frompotato tuber. Amyloplast envelopes were further separated into inner and outermembrane fractions by the freezing-thawing method originallydeveloped for the separation of chloroplast envelope membranesby Cline and associates (1981) (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 78:35953599). Nadodecylsulfate gel electrophoretic analysisrevealed that the inner and outer envelope membranes containthe distinctly different polypeptide compositions.
