The fruit of the ‘Dangshansuli’ pear has a greenish yellow skin, whereas its mutant, the ‘Xiusu’ pear, has a russet skin, which represents a genetic variation. It has been demonstrated that the formation of russet fruit in the ‘Xiusu’ pear is related to lignin accumulation in skin exocarp cells. In this study, we localized hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to the cell wall using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and quantified the concentrations of H2O2 and polyamines. In addition, the expression levels of genes involved in polyamine biosynthesis were measured in the exocarps of samples of young fruits of ‘Dangshansuli’, ‘Xiusu’, ‘Xiusu’ treated with methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone), and ‘Xiusu’ treated with ethephon. The results obtained could explain the mechanism by which H2O2 participates in polyamine metabolism in the lignification of exocarp cells in the russet fruit mutant. The TEM results showed that free H2O2 is present near the cell wall, where lignin is primarily synthesized, and the H2O2 concentration was highly positively correlated with the lignin concentration. Although H2O2 related to lignification showed no significant correlation with the putrescine or spermine concentration, it was highly positively correlated with the spermidine (Spd) concentration. Additionally, the Spd concentration was significantly positively correlated with altered expression of the polyamine oxidase gene (PbPAO). Taken together, these results have demonstrated that H2O2 involved in lignification originates from the oxidation of Spd by the enzyme PAO, with high expression of the PbPAO gene, which suggests that H2O2 from polyamine metabolism affects lignification in the exocarp of the russet mutant pear. 相似文献

Tolerance to water deficit in diploid (2x) and doubled diploid (4x) ‘Carrizo citrange’ (Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck × Poncirus trifoliata [L.] Raf) was investigated. Water deficit was applied for 4 weeks. Physiological parameters, including stomatal conductance (g s), photosynthesis (A), transpiration (E), leaf and soil water potentials (Ψ leaf; Ψ soil), and pot water loss, were monitored throughout the stress. Moreover, ABA, H2O2 contents, and the expression of genes involved in ABA biosynthesis (NCED3), regulation of abscisic acid signaling (ABI1), and coding for a catalase enzyme (CAT2) known to favor H2O2 scavenging were monitored. During the experiment g s, A, and E values were most of the time higher in 2x compared to 4x. During the water deficit period, pot water loss decreased faster in 2x compared to 4x, leading to a faster decrease in all physiological parameters in 2x. The higher sensitivity of 2x compared to 4x was correlated with more numerous thinner roots, higher leaf ABA and H2O2 contents, and with the lower leaf water potential. ABI1 and NCED3 expression was not strictly correlated with the ABA content. However, the higher CAT2 expression in 4x was correlated with the lower leaf H2O2 contents. Therefore, the better tolerance observed in 4x ‘Carrizo citrange’ compared to 2x was associated with more limited water consumption and better and H2O2 scavenging. 相似文献

Herbaceous peony (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.) is an important ornamental plant which contains different flower colors. In this paper, eight genes encoding phenylalanine ammonialyase (PAL), chalcone synthase (CHS), chalcone isomerase (CHI), flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H), flavonoid 3′-hydroxylase (F3′H), dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR), anthocyanidin synthase (ANS), UDP-glucose: flavonoid 3-o-glucosyltransferase (UF3GT) were isolated. Moreover, the expression patterns of these eight genes and UF5GT in the flowers were investigated in three cultivars, that is, ‘Hongyanzhenghui’, ‘Yulouhongxing’ and ‘Huangjinlun’ with purplish-red, white and yellow flower respectively. Furthermore, flavonoid accumulation in the flowers was also analyzed. The results showed that in different organs, most of genes expressed higher in flowers than in other organs. During the development of flowers, all genes could be divided into four groups. The first group (PlPAL) was highly expressed in S1 and S4. The second group (PlCHS and PlCHI) was at a high expression level throughout the whole developmental stages. The third group (PlF3H, PlF3′H, PlDFR, PlANS and PlUF5GT) gradually decreased with the development of flowers. The fourth group (PlUF3GT) gradually increased during the flower development. In addition, anthoxanthins and anthocyanins were detected in ‘Hongyanzhenghui’ and ‘Yulouhongxing’, chalcones and anthoxanthins were found in ‘Huangjinlun’. When different color flowers were concerned, low expression level of PlCHI induced most of the substrate accumulation in the form of chalcones and displaying yellow, changing a small part of substrates to anthoxanthins, and there was no anthocyanin synthesis in ‘Huangjinlun’ because of low expression level of DFR. In ‘Yulouhongxing’, massive expressions of upstream genes and low expression of DFR caused synthesis of a great deal of anthoxanthins and a small amount of colorless anthocyanins. In ‘Hongyanzhenghui’, a large number of colored anthocyanins were changed from anthoxanthins because of PlDFR, PlANS and PlUF3GT high expressions. These results would provide us a theoretical basis to understand the formation of P. lactiflora flower colors. 相似文献

Root restriction was applied to ‘Summer black’ grape (Vitis vinifera L. × Vitis labrusca L.) to investigate its effect on anthocyanin biosynthesis in grape berry during development. Anthocyanin composition and expression patterns of 16 genes in anthocyanin pathway were thus analyzed. The results showed that the anthocyanin levels in berry skin were significantly increased and the anthocyanin profile was enriched. Gene expression pattern revealed that the increased anthocyanins coincide with the up-regulated expression of all 16 genes investigated, including phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, 4-coumarate CoA ligase, chalcone synthase 1, chalcone synthase 2, chalcone synthase 3, chalcone isomerase, flavanone 3-hydroxylase 1, flavanone 3-hydroxylase 2, flavonoid 3′-hydroxylase (F3′H), flavonoid 3′,5′-hydroxylase (F3′5′H), di-hydroflavonol 4-reductase, leucoanthocyanidin dioxygenase, O-methyltransferases (OMT), UDP-glucose:flavonoid 3-O-glucosyl-transferase (3GT), UDP-glucose:flavonoid 5-O-glucosyl-transferase (5GT) and glutathione S-transferase (GST). The increased total anthocyanins predominantly resulted from the increase of tri-hydroxylated, methoxylated and mono-glycosylated rather than di-hydroxylated, non-methoxylated, and di-glycosylated forms, which might be due to the differential regulation of F3′5′H/F3′H, OMT and 3GT, respectively. 相似文献

Ethylene and hydrogen peroxide are involved in the modulation of stress responses in plants, but their interrelation is not well understood. This work was designed to find differences between the actions of ethylene and H2O2 on antioxidants and senescence markers. Leaves of Nicotiana tabacum were sprayed with H2O2 or with ethephon (precursor of ethylene). To find the possible modulation of responses to acute abiotic stress, ethephon- and H2O2-sprayed leaves were further subjected to high irradiance (HL). The application of H2O2 strongly stimulated ethylene synthesis (ACC). Ethylene and H2O2, as single factors, stimulated the trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) and the activity of catalase (CAT), in contrast to HL alone (stimulation of nonspecific peroxidases and the total glutathione pool). However, after combined treatments (ethylene + HL and H2O2 + HL), the stimulatory action of H2O2 was related to TEAC and CAT activity, while the application of ethylene stimulated the total glutathione pool. Hydrogen peroxide enhanced the expression of the three CAT genes (Cat1, Cat2 and Cat3), in contrast to ethylene (Cat2 and Cat3) and HL (Cat1). In regard to the markers of senescence and pathogenesis the most pronounced difference between the actions of ethylene and H2O2, as single factors, was related to NPR1, whereas when leaf spraying was combined with HL, differences were found at WRKY53 and PR1a. HL reversed the stimulatory effects of H2O2/ethylene-driven enhancements of the expression of several genes (Cat1, Cat2, NPR1, WRKY53). These results show that multiple stressors, as usually encountered by plants in nature, may largely change those expression patterns of genes determined in a single factor analysis. Moreover, the actions of HL (often considered the internal H2O2 trigger) and of exogenous H2O2 on gene expression are clearly different. 相似文献

Extracellular DNA (eDNA) is an important component of the biofilm matrix produced by many bacteria. In general, the release of eDNA is associated with the activity of muralytic enzymes leading to obvious cell lysis. In the Gram-positive oral commensal Streptococcus gordonii, eDNA release is dependent on pyruvate oxidase generated hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Addition of H2O2 to cells grown under conditions non-permissive for H2O2 production causes eDNA release. Furthermore, eDNA release is maximal under aerobic growth conditions known to induce pyruvate oxidase gene expression and H2O2 production. Obvious cell lysis, however, does not occur. Two enzymes have been recently associated with eDNA release in S. gordonii. The autolysin AtlS and the competence regulated murein hydrolase LytF. In the present report, we investigated the role of both proteins in the H2O2 dependent eDNA release process. Single and double mutants in the respective genes for LytF and AtlS released less eDNA under normal growth conditions, but the AtlS mutant was still inducible for eDNA release by external H2O2. Moreover, we showed that the AtlS mutation interfered with the ability of S. gordonii to produce eDNA release inducing amounts of H2O2. Our data support a role of LytF in the H2O2 eDNA dependent release of S. gordonii as part of the competence stress pathway responding to oxidative stress. 相似文献

The present study was carried out to observe the protective effects of αB-crystallin protein on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced injury in rat myocardial cells (H9c2) and to investigate the mechanisms of these protective effects at the cellular level, which could provide the experimental basis for future applications of αB-crystallin in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Western blotting was used to measure the expression of αB-crystallin in cultured H9c2 cells in vitro. A αB-crystallin recombinant expression vector, pcDNA3.1-Cryab, was constructed to transfect H9c2 cells for the establishment of cells that stably expressed αB-crystallin. A tetrazolium-based colorimetric assay (MTT test) was used to measure changes in the viability of the H9c2 cells at 1, 2, 3 and 4 h after induced by 150 μM H2O2 to establish a model of H2O2 injury to cells. H2O2 was applied to H9c2 cells that were stably transfected with αB-crystallin, and the effect of αB-crystallin overexpression on the viability of myocardial cells subjected to H2O2-induced injury was measured by the MTT assay. The effect of αB-crystallin overexpression on the H2O2-induced injury of H9c2 cells was also analyzed by flow cytometry. The mitochondrial components and cytoplasmic components of H9c2 cells were separated, and western blotting was used to measure the effect of αB-crystallin overexpression on the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria. Western blotting was also used to measure the effect of αB-crystallin overexpression on the expression of the anti-apoptosis protein Bcl-2 and components of the phosphatidylinositol 3-OH kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway. The αB-crystallin recombinant expression vector pcDNA3.1-Cryab successfully transfected H9c2 cells, and H9c2 cells that were stably transfected with αB-crystallin were established after G418 selection. The measurements carried out by western blotting showed that αB-crystallin proteins are expressed in normal H9c2 cells, but the proteins’ expression was much higher in pcDNA3.1-Cryab transfected cells (P < 0.01). The MTT assays showed that 4 h of H2O2 treatment induced significant injury in H9c2 cells (P < 0.01), but αB-crystallin overexpression can effectively antagonize the H2O2-induced injury to H9c2 cells (P < 0.05). The results of flow cytometry analysis showed that αB-crystallin overexpression can significantly reduce apoptosis in H2O2-injured H9c2 cells (P < 0.05). The results of western blotting showed that αB-crystallin overexpression in myocardial cells can reduce the H2O2-induced release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria (P < 0.05), antagonize the H2O2-induced downregulation of Bcl-2 (P < 0.05) and magnify the decrease in phosphorylated AKT levels induced by H2O2 injury (P < 0.05). The overexpression of αB-crystallin has a protective effect on H2O2-injured H9c2 cells, and αB-crystallin can play a protective role by reducing apoptosis, reducing the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria and antagonizing the downregulation of Bcl-2 expression. The protective effects of αB-crystallin may be related to the PI3K/AKT pathway. 相似文献

Cultivars with low stomatal conductance (gs) may show high water use efficiency (WUE) under drought conditions, but under optimal conditions low gs may result in low vigour. A combination of thermal imaging and carbon isotope composition (δ13C) analysis offers potential for screening simultaneously for both high gs and high WUE. Ten cultivars of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) were grown in well watered or water limited conditions. Thermal images were taken of the plants, with various approaches to determine the optimal protocol for detecting variation in gs, including use of reference leaves, grids to maintain leaves horizontal, and collection of meteorological data in synchrony with thermal images. δ13C of leaves, fruit, and crowns was determined. An index of gs derived from the temperature of horizontal leaves and the temperature of wet and dry references showed significant differences between cultivars and between well watered and water limited plants, as did gs estimated from leaf temperature, the temperature of a dry reference, and humidity. Thermal imaging indicated low gs in ‘Elsanta’ and ‘Totem’ and relatively high gs in well watered ‘Elvira’, ‘Florence’ and ‘Cambridge Favourite’. δ13C of all plant material was higher in water limited than well watered plants and showed significant differences between cultivars. In one experiment leaf δ13C indicated lowest WUE in ‘Elvira’ and highest WUE in ‘Totem’. δ13C was inversely correlated with an index of gs derived from thermal imaging. Although the results indicate substantial variation in gs and WUE between cultivars, generally all cultivars responded to water deficit by lowering gs and hence increasing WUE. 相似文献

The human myelogenous cell line, K562 has been extensively used as a model for the study of megakaryocytic (MK) differentiation, which could be achieved by exposure to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). In this study, real-time PCR analysis revealed that the expression of catalase (cat) was significantly repressed during MK differentiation of K562 cells induced by PMA. In addition, PMA increased the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentration, suggesting that ROS was a key factor for PMA-induced differentiation. PMA-differentiated K562 cells were exposed to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to clarify the function of ROS during MK differentiation. Interestingly, the percentage of high-ploidy (DNA content >4N) cells with H2O2 was 34.8±2.3% at day 9, and was 70% larger than that without H2O2 (21.5±0.8%). Further, H2O2 addition during the first 3 days of PMA-induced MK differentiation had the greatest effect on polyploidization. In an effort to elucidate the mechanisms of enhanced polyploidization by H2O2, the BrdU assay clearly indicated that H2O2 suppressed the division of 4N cells into 2N cells, followed by the increased polyploidization of K562 cells. These findings suggest that the enhancement in polyploidization mediated by H2O2 is due to synergistic inhibition of cytokinesis with PMA. Although H2O2 did not increase ploidy during the MK differentiation of primary cells, we clearly observed that cat expression was repressed in both immature and mature primary MK cells, and that treatment with the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine effectively blocked and/or delayed the polyploidization of immature MK cells. Together, these findings suggest that MK cells are more sensitive to ROS levels during earlier stages of maturation. 相似文献

Plant-virus interactions are affected by environmental factors, including temperature. Plant defenses are often inhibited by high or low temperature. In this study, oxidative damage and gene expression were detected in Arabidopsis thaliana infected with cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) at different temperatures. Before virus inoculation, plants were treated with jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA), both of which are important signaling molecules in plant defense responses. The levels of MDA and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and electrolyte leakage were significantly higher in CMV-infected leaves at 15 and 37°C. The accumulation of H2O2 and superoxide radical (O 2 ·? ) was obviously suppressed by spraying with JA followed by SA (JA → SA) at different temperatures. The CMV-CP expression analysis showed that virus replication was inhibited efficiently in the (JA → SA) treatment. Therefore, many JA- and SA-responsible resistance genes were quantified; MPK4 was expressed highly and steadily in the (JA → SA) treatment. To further confirm the role of MPK4, the CMV-CP gene expression was evaluated in wild-type Arabidopsis and its mpk4 mutant infected with CMV. The results suggested that MPK4 might play an important role in the antagonism between JA and SA at temperature fluctuation. 相似文献

This study aimed to identify suitable reference genes under three chemical inducers, methyl jasmonate (MeJA), salicylic acid (SA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in Ganoderma lucidum. In this study, expression stabilities of 14 candidate reference genes had been validated. Four algorithms were used: geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper, and RefFinder. Our results showed that, in short time, UCE2 (ubiquitin conjugating enzyme) was the most stable gene both in MeJA and H2O2 treatments, ACTIN (beta-actin) was the most suitable reference gene for SA treatment. ACTIN/UCE2 were considered the most suitable genes to normalize in MeJA, SA and H2O2 conditions. In long time, PP2A (protein phosphatase 2A regulatory subunit) was the most stable gene in MeJA and SA treatments, UCE2 was the most suitable reference gene for H2O2 treatment. PP2A/UBQ1 (polyubiquitin 1) were considered the most suitable genes to normalize in MeJA, SA and H2O2 conditions. Furthermore, target gene, oxidosqualene cyclase (osc), was selected to validate the most and least stable reference genes under different treatments. Our work provided a better support to study the regulatory mechanism of MeJA, SA and H2O2 on biological functions. 相似文献

Brassica juncea annexin-3 (BjAnn3) was functionally characterized for its ability to modulate H2O2-mediated oxidative stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. BjAnn3 showed a significant protective role in cellular-defense against oxidative stress and partially alleviated inhibition of mitochondrial respiration in presence of exogenously applied H2O2. Heterologous expression of BjAnn3 protected membranes from oxidative stress-mediated damage and positively regulated antioxidant gene expression for ROS detoxification. We conclude that, BjAnn3 partially counteracts the effects of thioredoxin peroxidase 1 (TSA1) deficiency and aids in cellular-protection across kingdoms. Despite partial compensation of TSA1 by BjAnn3 in cell-viability tests, the over-complementation in ROS-related features suggests the existence of both redundant (e.g. ROS detoxification) and distinct features (e.g. membrane protection versus proximity-based redox regulator) of both proteins. 相似文献
