If S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is the direct precursor of ethylene as previously proposed, it is expected that 5′-S-methyl-5′-thioadenosine (MTA) would be the fragment nucleoside. When [Me-14C] or [35S]methionine was fed to climacteric apple (Malus sylvestris Mill) tissue, radioactive 5-S-methyl-5-thioribose (MTR) was identified as the predominant product and MTA as a minor one. When the conversion of methionine into ethylene was inhibited by l-2-amino-4-(2′-aminoethoxy)-trans-3-butenoic acid, the conversion of [35S] or [Me14C]methionine into MTR was similarly inhibited. Furthermore, the formation of MTA and MTR from [35S]methionine was observed only in climacteric tissue which produced ethylene and actively converted methionine to ethylene but not in preclimacteric tissue which did not produce ethylene or convert methionine to ethylene. These observations suggest that the conversion of methionine into MTA and MTR is closely related to ethylene biosynthesis and provide indirect evidence that SAM may be an intermediate in the conversion of methionine to ethylene. 相似文献

Identification and Metabolism of 1-(Malonylamino)cyclopropane-1-carboxylic Acid in Germinating Peanut Seeds 总被引:7,自引:7,他引:0
Peanut seeds (Arachis hypogea L. Yue-you 551) contain 50 to 100 nanomoles per gram conjugated 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid (ACC). Based on paper chromatography, paper electrophoresis, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, it was verified that the major ACC conjugate was N-malonyl-ACC (MACC). Germinating peanut seeds converted [2-14C]ACC to ethylene 70 times more efficiently than N-malonyl-[2-14C]ACC; when ACC was administered, most of it was metabolized to MACC. Germinating peanut seeds produced ethylene and converted l-[3,4-14C]methionine to ethylene; this ethylene biosynthesis was inhibited by aminoethoxyvinylglycine. These data indicate that MACC occurs in peanut seeds but does not serve as the source of ethylene during germination; ethylene is, however, synthesized from methionine via ACC. 相似文献

14C-Ethylene was metabolized by etiolated pigweed seedlings (Amaranthus retroflexus L.) in the manner similar to that observed in other plants. The hormone was oxidized to 14CO2 and incorporated into 14C-tissue components. Selected cyclic olefins with differing abilities to block ethylene action were used to determine if ethylene metabolism in pigweed is necessary for ethylene action. 2,5-Norbornadiene and 1,3-cyclohexadiene were effective inhibitors of ethylene action at 800 and 6400 microliters per liter, respectively, in the gas phase, while 1,4-cyclohexadiene and cyclohexene were not. However, all four cyclic olefins inhibited the incorporation and conversion of 14C-ethylene to 14CO2 by 95% with I50 values below 100 microliters per liter. The results indicate that total ethylene metabolism does not directly correlate with changes in ethylene action. Additionally, the fact that inhibition of ethylene metabolism by the cyclic olefins did not result in a corresponding increase in ethylene evolution indicates that ethylene metabolism does not serve to significantly reduce endogenous ethylene levels. 相似文献

Elongation of hypocotyls of sunflower can be promoted by gibberellins (GAs) and inhibited by ethylene. The role of these hormones in regulating elongation was investigated by measuring changes in both endogenous GAs and in the metabolism of exogenous [3H]- and [2H2]GA20 in the hypocotyis of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. cv Delgren 131) seedlings exposed to ethylene. The major biologically active GAs identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were GA1, GA19, GA20, and GA44. In hypocotyls of seedlings exposed to ethylene, the concentration of GA1, known to be directly active in regulating shoot elongation in a number of species, was reduced. Ethylene treatment reduced the metabolism of [3H]GA20 and less [2H2]GA1 was found in the hypocotyls of those seedlings exposed to the higher ethylene concentrations. However, it is not known if the effect of ethylene on GA20 metabolism was direct or indirect. In seedlings treated with exogenous GA1 or GA3, the hypocotyls elongated faster than those of controls, but the GA treatment only partially overcame the inhibitory effect of ethylene on elongation. We conclude that GA content is a factor which may limit elongation in hypocotyls of sunflower, and that while exposure to ethylene results in reduced concentration of GA1 this is not sufficient per se to account for the inhibition of elongation caused by ethylene. 相似文献

The biosynthesis of ethylene was examined in suspension-cultured cells of parsley (Petroselinum hortense) treated with an elicitor from cell walls of Phytophthora megasperma. Untreated cells contained 50 nmol g-1 of the ethylene precursor, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), and produced ethylene at a rate of about 0.5 nmol g-1 h-1. Within 2 h after addition of elicitor to the culture medium, the cells started to produce more ethylene and accumulated more ACC. Exogenously added ACC did not increase the rate of ethylene production in control or elicitor-treated cells, indicating that the enzyme converting ACC to ethylene was limiting in both cases. The first enzyme in ethylene biosynthesis, ACC synthase, was very rapidly and transiently induced by the elicitor treatment. Its activity increased more than tenfold within 60 min. Density labelling with 2H2O showed that this increase was caused by the denovo synthesis of the enzyme protein. Cordycepin and actinomycin D did not affect the induction of ACC synthase, indicating that the synthesis of new mRNA was not required. The peak of ACC-synthase activity preceded the maximal phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity by several hours. Exogenously supplied ethylene or ACC did not induce PAL. However, aminoethoxyvinylglycine, an inhibitor of ACC synthase, suppressed the rise in ethylene production in elicitor-treated cells and partially inhibited the induction of PAL. Exogenously supplied ACC reversed this inhibition. It is concluded that induction of the ethylene biosynthetic pathway is a very early symptom of elicitor action. Although ethylene alone is not a sufficient signal for PAL induction, the enhanced activity of ACC synthase and the ethylene biosynthetic pathway may be important for the subsequent induction of PAL.Abbreviations ACC

Metabolism of 5-methylthioribose to methionine 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
During ethylene biosynthesis, the H3CS- group of S-adenosylmethionine is released as 5′-methylthioadenosine, which is recycled to methionine via 5-methylthioribose (MTR). In mungbean hypocotyls and cell-free extracts of avocado, [14C]MTR was converted into labeled methionine via 2-keto-4-methylthiobutyric acid (KMB) and 2-hydroxy-4-methylthiobutyric acid (HMB), as intermediates. Incubation of [ribose-U-14C]MTR with avocado extract resulted in the production of [14C]formate, indicating the conversion of MTR to KMB involves a loss of formate, presumably from C-1 of MTR. Tracer studies showed that KMB was converted readily in vivo and in vitro to methionine, while HMB was converted much more slowly. The conversion of KMB to methionine by dialyzed avocado extract requires an amino donor. Among several potential donors examined, l-glutamine was the most efficient. Anaerobiosis inhibited only partially the oxidation of MTR to formate, KMB/HMB, and methionine by avocado extract. The role of O2 in the conversion of MTR to methionine is discussed. 相似文献

Ca2+ effects on ethylene, carbon dioxide and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase activity
The response of pericarp disks from ripening tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Traveler‘76) to CaCl2, additions was studied to determine the effect of Ca2+ on ethylene and CO2 production. Application of 5 mM CaCl2 resulted in a 2, 20, 33, 39, and 50% increase in ethylene production in disks obtained from preclimacteric minimum, climacteric rise, climacteric peak, one, and two days postclimacteric fruit, respectively. CaCl2 concentrations of 10 and 50 mM gave no additional stimulation of ethylene production; CO2 production at 5 mM CaCl2 was not different from controls, but is increased at 10 and 50mM CaCl2. CaCl2 also increased ethylene production in disks treated with 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) or aminoethoxy-vinylglycine. Chloride salts of K+, Na+, Mg2+, Sr2+ and La3+ did not stimulate ethylene production. SrCl2 stimulated ethylene production to a lesser degree than CaCl2. Disks from potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Katahdin) tubers produced greater quantities of ethylene and ACC when 5 mM CaCl2 was included in the incubation medium (K. B. Evensen, 1983. Physiol. Plant. 60:125–128). Ca2+-treated disks had more than three times as much ACC synthase activity as control disks after 18 to 24 h incubation, when ethylene and ACC were maximal. The apparent Km for S-adenosylmethionine was 13 μM at 29°C, pH 8.0 in extracts from both Ca2+-treated and control disks. Inclusion of 1 to 50 mM CaCl2 in the assay medium did not significantly affect enzyme activity. ACC synthase extracted from control and Ca2+-treated disks had a pH optimum of 8.5 and an apparent molecular weight of 72 kdalton, estimated by gel filtration. It is likely that the presence of Ca2+ in the buffer allows greater synthesis of ACC synthase as part of the wound-healing response in potato, while in tomato the predominant effect is on membrane stabilization. 相似文献

The characteristics of the conversion of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) to ethylene by pea (Pisum sativum L.) epicotyls and by pea epicotyl enzyme are compared. Of the four stereoisomers of 1-amino-2-ethylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (AEC), only (1R,2S)-AEC is preferentially converted to 1-butene in pea epicotyls. This conversion is inhibited by ACC, indicating that butene production from (1R,2S)-AEC and ethylene production from ACC are catalyzed by the same enzyme. Furthermore, pea epicotyls efficiently convert ACC to ethylene with a low K
m (66 M) for ACC and do not convert 4-methylthio-2-oxo-butanoic acid (KMB) to ethylene, thus demonstrating high specificity for its substrate. In contrast, the reported pea epicotyl enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of ACC to ethylene had a high K
m (389 mM) for ACC and readily converted KMB to ethylene. We show, moreover, that the pea enzyme catalyzes the conversion of AEC isomers to butene without stereodiscrimination. Because of its lack of stereospecificity, its low affinity for ACC and its utilization of KMB as a substrate, we conclude that the reported pea enzyme system is not related to the in-vivo ethylene-forming enzyme.Abbreviations ACC

Wound-induced ethylene synthesis by subapical stem sections of etiolated Pisum sativum L., cv. Alaska seedlings, as described by Saltveit and Dilley (Plant Physiol 1978 61: 447-450), was half-saturated at 3.6% (v/v) O2 and saturated at about 10% O2. Corresponding values for CO2 production during the same period were 1.1% and 10% O2, respectively. Anaerobiosis stopped all ethylene evolution and delayed the characteristic pattern of wound ethylene synthesis. Exposing tissue to 3.5% CO2 in air in a flow-through system reduced wound ethylene synthesis by 30%. Enhancing gas diffusivity by reducing the total pressure to 130 mm Hg almost doubled the rate of wound ethylene synthesis and this effect was negated by exposure to 250 μl liter−1 propylene. Applied ethylene or propylene stopped wound ethylene synthesis during the period of application, but unlike N2, no lag period was observed upon flushing with air. It is concluded that the characteristic pattern of wound-induced ethylene synthesis resulted from negative feedback control by endogenous ethylene.
No wound ethylene was produced for 2 hours after excision at 10 or 38 C. Low temperatures prolonged the lag period, but did not prevent induction of the wound response, since tissue held for 2 hours at 10 C produced wound ethylene immediately when warmed to 30 C. In contrast, temperatures above 36 C prevented induction of wound ethylene synthesis, since tissue cooled to 30 C after 1 hour at 40 C required 2 hours before ethylene production returned to normal levels. The activation energy between 15 and 36 C was 12.1 mole kilocalories degree−1.

When treated with ethylene in O2, conditioned potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Russet Burbank) tubers – that is, tubers kept at room temperature for 10 days or more – yield slices that are CN? resistant. Ten % CO2 in the gas mixture not only synergizes the effect of ethylene, but replaces the need for conditioning as well. The response to CO2 is more pronounced with increasing time from harvest. By contrast fresh slices from untreated tubers are CN? sensitive, as are slices from tubers incubated in O2 or O2 plus CO2. The suggestion is made that CN? resistance is constitutive, and that treatment with ethylene/CO2 in O2 confers on potato tuber tissue a resistance to the extensive degradation of membrane phospholipids that normally attends slicing and leads to the loss of CN? resistance. In this connection respiration inhibition by imidazole, an inhibitor of fatty acid α-oxidation, is extensive in slices of untreated tubers, and sharply diminished in slices of ethylene-treated tubers in proportion to their CN? resistance. The coextensive rise of respiration rate and CN? resistance in aged potato slices has led to the presumption that the CN?-resistant path mediates the respiration climax. Accordingly the alkaloid, lycorine, has been considered to inhibit the development of CN? resistance in aging potato slices because it curtails the wound-induced respiration. A comparison was carried out on the effect of lycorine on CN?-sensitive and CN?-resistant fresh slices – the latter obtained from ethylene/CO2-treated tubers. Lycorine suppressed the development of the wound-induced respiration without restricting the development of CN? resistance. 相似文献

The recycling of 5-methylthioribose (MTR) to methionine in avocado (Persea americana Mill, cv Hass) and tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill, cv unknown) was examined. [14CH3]MTR was not metabolized in cell free extract from avocado fruit. Either [14CH3]MTR plus ATP or [14CH3]5-methylthioribose-1-phosphate (MTR-1-P) alone, however, were metabolized to two new products by these extracts. MTR kinase activity has previously been detected in these fruit extracts. These data indicate that MTR must be converted to MTR-1-P by MTR kinase before further metabolism can occur. The products of MTR-1-P metabolism were tentatively identified as α-keto-γ-methylthiobutyric acid (α-KMB) and α-hydroxy-γ-methylthiobutyric acid (α-HMB) by chromatography in several solvent systems. [35S]α-KMB was found to be further metabolized to methionine and α-HMB by these extracts, whereas α-HMB was not. However, α-HMB inhibited the conversion of α-KMB to methionine. Both [U-14C]α-KMB and [U-14C]methionine, but not [U-14C]α-HMB, were converted to ethylene in tomato pericarp tissue. In addition, aminoethoxyvinylglycine inhibited the conversion of α-KMB to ethylene. These data suggest that the recycling pathway leading to ethylene is MTR → MTR-1-P → α-KMB → methionine → S-adenosylmethionine → 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid → ethylene. 相似文献

Using Avena sativa L. cv. Victory oat seedlings and excised p-1 stem segments (including the p-1 and p-2 internodes) the effect of exogenously supplied ethylene and the removal of ethylene on internodal extension and gravitropic bending was assessed. Similarly, the ability of the excised system to respond to gravistimulation was assessed in the presence of inhibitors of ethylene action (AgNO3) and ethylene synthesis (3,5-diiodo-4-hydroxybenzoic acid and benzyl isothiocyanate; BITC). The production of ethylene from both intact and excised systems was also measured from 0 to 48 h after gravistimulation, relative to vertical controls. Although gravitropic curvature is initiated, and indeed enters the most rapid phase of upward bending during the first 6 h, there is no difference in ethylene production between vertical and geostimulated plants during this period. The ethylene production of gravistimulated plants rises sharply to a maximum at 24 h, then decreases steeply to almost the control level by 48 h, at which time the rate of upward curvature is diminishing. Neither the addition nor removal of ethylene, nor the addition of inhibitors affecting ethylene-action (AgNO3) or synthesis (DIHB) influence gravitropic bending or internodal extension in excised segments. Although the ethylene synthesis inhibitor BITC showed down the rate of upward bending, this effect could not be reversed by addition of ethylene. We conclude that the burst in ethylene production that develops in leaf-sheath bases (pulvini) after they have started to curve upwards is not primary to the induction of curvature. We further suggest that ethylene has no major effect or role in the induction of upward bending after gravistimulation. The metabolism of high specific activity gibberellin A1 ([3H]-GA1) in the excised system was assessed during 1, 2 and 4 h of gravistimulation. Changes in endogenous GAs and GA metabolism have been shown previously to be correlated (at the later stages) with gravistimulated bending in intact Avena shoots. The excised segments ‘leaked’ free [3H]-GAs and [3H]-GA glucosyl conjugate-like substances into the bathing medium, and this was a confounding factor. Nevertheless, gravistimulated stem segments, and especially the bottom half of the segment, were significantly less leaky then vertical segments. Thus, just 1 h after gravistimulation, bottom segment halves retained 22% more precursor [3H]-GA1, 36% more free [3H]-GA-like metabolites, and 48% more [3H]-GA glucosyl conjugate-like metabolites than vertical segments. In contrast, the 1 h gravistimulated top halves retained slightly less (1–4%) precursor [3H]-GA and free [3H]-GA metabolites, but 21% more [3H]-GA glucosyl conjugate-like radioactivity than vertical segments. 相似文献

Summary The reaction of NH3 and SO
sup2–
inf3
with ethylene sulfide is shown to be a prebiotic synthesis of cysteamine and 2-mercaptoethanesulfonic acid (coenzyme M). A similar reaction with ethylene imine would give cysteamine and taurine. Ethylene oxide would react with NH3 and N(CH3)3 to give the phospholipid components ethanolamine and choline. The prebiotic sources of ethylene sulfide, ethylene imine and ethylene oxide are discussed. Cysteamine itself is not a suitable thioester for metabolic processes because of acyl transfer to the amino group, but this can be prevented by using an amide of cysteamine. The use of cysteamine in coenzyme A may have been due to its prebiotic abundance. The facile prebiotic synthesis of both cysteamine and coenzyme M suggests that they were involved in very early metabolic pathways.

Ethylene and ethane production in response to salinity stress 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Abstract Ethylene and ethane production in mung bean hypocotyl sections were evaluated as possible indicators of stress due to contact with four salts that are common in natural sites. Ethylene production decreased with increasing concentrations of applied NaCl and KCl. When CaCl2 was applied, the ethylene evolution was greater. However, when MgCl2 was applied, ethylene evolution remained high then decreased and at higher salt concentrations again showed an increase. NaCl (up to 0.1 kmol m?1) and KCl (up to 0.5 kmol m?3) caused a concentration-dependent increase in ethane production. The ethane production with CaCl2 was the lowest among the salts tested and only a minute increase was noticed with the increase of concentration from 0.01 to 1 kmol m?3. Ethane production showed a distinct maximum at 0.2 kmol m?3 MgCl2. The introduction of 0.01 kmol m?3 CaCl2, as well as anaerobic conditions obtained by purging vials with N2, eliminated that high ethane production. Respiratory activity of the mung bean hypocotyl sections in MgCl2 concentrations from 0 to 0.5 kmol m?3 was correlated with ethane but not with ethylene production. The ethane/ethylene ratio showed three patterns for the four salts tested. 相似文献

The effect of reactive oxygen species on ethylene production induced by osmotic stress in etiolated mungbean seedling 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
After 10 h osmotic stress in 25% polyethylene glycol (PEG6000) solution (–1.8 MPa) at 25 °C in darkness, the etiolated mungbean seedlings were transferred to pure water for recovery. The ethylene release rate and the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), including superoxide radical (O2–) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), were investigated during the recovery process. The results showed that ethylene production rate and amount of ROS increased dramatically after osmotic stress, and a close correlation was observed between ethylene release rate and concentrations of ROS. Inhibitors of ethylene biosynthesis, aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) or aminooxyacetic acid (AOA), could reduce the ethylene release rate, but had no significant influence to the content of O2– and H2O2. As well as, silver thiosulfate (STS), an inhibitor of ethylene action, exhibited no obvious effect to the concentration of ROS, showing stress-inducible ethylene was not the cause for the increase of stress-inducible ROS. On the other hand, exogenous generator of superoxide radical (methylviologen, MV, or sodium dithionite, Na2S2O4) could enhance the ethylene production evidently, which could be inhibited by exogenous scavenger of superoxide radical (superoxide dismutase, SOD, or 1, 4-diazabicyclo (2,2,2) octane, DABCO). However, either exogenous H2O2 or catalase (CAT) had no significant influence on ethylene production. The results suggested that it was superoxide radical but not H2O2which was involved directly in osmotic stress-inducible ethylene biosynthesis. The dual-role of superoxide radical on stress ethylene biosynthesis was also discussed. 相似文献

Flowers of Ipomoea tricolor Cav. (cv. Heavenly Blue) were cut at various stages of development and evaluated for their ability to metabolize ethylene. Freshly cut buds or flowers were treated in glass containers for 8 hours with 6 μl/liter of highly purified 14C2H4. Following removal of dissolved 14C2H4, radioactivity was determined for the different flower tissues and trappd CO2. 14C2H4 oxidation to 14CO2 and tissue incorporation occurred at very low to nondetectable levels 2 to 3 days prior to flower opening. About 1 day prior to full bloom, just at the time when mature buds become responsive to ethylene (Kende and Hanson, Plant Physiol 1976, 57: 523-527), there was a dramatic increase in the capacity of the buds to oxidize 14C2H4 to 14CO2. This activity continued to increase until the flower was fully opened reaching a peak activity of 2,500 dpm per three flowers per 8 hours. It then declined as the flower closed and rapidly senesced. A similar but smaller peak occurred in tissue incorporation and it was followed by a second peak during late flower senescence. This first peak in tissue incorporation and the dramatic peak in ethylene oxidation slightly preceded a large peak of natural ethylene production which accompanied flower senescence. The ethylene metabolism observed was clearly dependent on cellular metabolism and did not involve microorganisms since heat killing destroyed this activity and badly contaminated heat-killed flowers were unable to metabolize ethylene. 相似文献

1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) is known to be converted to ethylene and conjugated into N-malonyl-ACC in plant tissues. When -amino[1-14C]isobutyric acid (AIB), a structural analog of ACC, was administered to mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) hypocotyl segments, it was metabolized to 14CO2 and conjugated to N-malonyl-AIB (MAIB). -Aminoisobutyric acid inhibited the conversion of ACC to ethylene and also inhibited, to a lesser extent, N-malonylation of ACC and d-amino acids. Although the malonylation of AIB was strongly inhibited by ACC as well as by d-amino acids, the metabolism of AIB to CO2 was inhibited only by ACC but not by d-amino acids. Inhibitors of ACC conversion to ethylene such as anaerobiosis, 2,4-dinitrophenol and Co2+, similarly inhibited the conversion of AIB to CO2. These results indicate that the malonyalation of AIB to MAIB is intimately related to the malonylation of ACC and d-amino acids, whereas oxidative decarboxylation of AIB is related to the oxidative degradation of ACC to ethylene.Abbreviations ACC

Auxin is known to stimulate greatly both C2H4 production and the conversion of methionine to ethylene in vegetative tissues, while amino-ethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) or Co2+ ion effectively block these processes. To identify the step in the ethylene biosynthetic pathway at which indoleacetic acid (IAA) and AVG exert their effects, [3-14C]methionine was administered to IAA or IAA-plus-AVG-treated mung bean hypocotyls, and the conversion of methionine to S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), and C2H4 was studied. The conversion of methionine to SAM was unaffected by treatment with IAA or IAA plus AVG, but active conversion of methionine to ACC was found only in tissues which were treated with IAA and which were actively producing ethylene. AVG treatment abolished both the conversion of methionine to ACC and ethylene production. These results suggest that in the ethylene biosynthetic pathway (methionine → SAM → ACC → C2H4) IAA stimulates C2H4 production by inducing the synthesis or activation of ACC synthase, which catalyzes the conversion of SAM to ACC. Indeed, ACC synthase activity was detected only in IAA-treated tissues and its activity was completely inhibited by AVG. This conclusion was supported by the observation that endogenous ACC accumulated after IAA treatment, and that this accumulation was completely eliminated by AVG treatment. The characteristics of Co2+ inhibition of IAA-dependent and ACC-dependent ethylene production were similar. The data indicate that Co2+ exerts its effect by inhibiting the conversion of ACC to ethylene. This conclusion was further supported by the observation that when Co2+ was administered to IAA-treated tissues, endogenous ACC accumulated while ethylene production declined. 相似文献

We examined ethylene effects on root regeneration in tomato leaf discs cultured in vitro. Applied ethylene or Ethephon did not stimulate rooting in the leaf discs. In the presence of indoleacetic acid. 5 × 10-6M, these substances significantly inhibited root formation. Ethylene production (nl C2H4· (24 h)-1. flask-1) was positively correlated with increased IAA concentrations at various times during the culture period and, as a consequence, with the rooting response after 168 h. However, separate testing of equimolar concentrations of seven different auxins and auxin-like compounds showed no positive correlation between the rate of ethylene production and subsequent rooting response. Aeration of gas-tight flasks containing leaf discs and absorption of ethylene evolved from the discs by mercuric perchlorate in gas-tight flasks or pre-treatment of leaf discs with AgNO3 significantly enhanced IAA induced root regeneration. Thus, these studies indicate that ethylene is not a rooting hormone per se. Furthermore, ethylene (whether applied externally or synthesized by the tissue) does not appear to account for the ability of auxin to stimulate rooting. 相似文献

Chenopodium rubrum plants, induced to flower by three cycles of 12 h darkness and 12 h light, produced 42% less ethylene than vegetative plants kept under continuous light. Plants that had each dark cycle broken by 2 h light in the middle did not flower and produced almost as much ethylene as the vegetative plants. Shoots and roots of plants of all three experimental treatments had a similar content of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), the mean amounting to about 2 nmol · g–1 dry weight. Also the content of N-malonyl-ACC (MACC) was similar in shoots of all three treatments. MACC content in roots was shown to be much higher, especially in the treatments with three dark periods (about 85 nmol · g–1 dry weight). When labeled [2,3-14C] ACC was administered, the relative contents of ACC and MACC were very similar among all three treatments. The only process influenced by flower induction was ACC conversion to ethylene. Induced plants converted 36% less ACC than the vegetative ones. Plants subjected to night-break converted almost as much ACC to ethylene as vegetative plants. It is concluded that flower induction in the short-day plantChenopodium rubrum decreases ethylene production by decreasing their capability of converting ACC to ethylene. 相似文献
