Photoorientation of chloroplasts mediated by phytochrome and blue light-absorbing pigment in protonemal cells of the fernAdiantum was studied by use of inhibitors of the cytoskeleton and was analyzed with a video-tracking system. The photoorientation responses were inhibited by cytochalasin B and by N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) but not by colchicine, suggesting that the photomovement depends on the actomyosin system. In the dark, chloroplasts moved randomly, being independent of one another. After induction of photoorientation by polarized red light, most chloroplasts that had been located at the margin of cells moved almost perpendicularly to the cell axis toward the site of photoorientation. This type of movement was hardly ever observed in the dark. Under polarized blue light, such specific movements were less evident but were still observed in the case of a few chloroplasts. After photoorientation was complete, chloroplasts still moved in random directions but their mobility was lower than that in the dark, indicating the presence of some anchoring mechanism. When EGTA was applied, photoorientation was inhibited but this inhibition was overcome by the addition of CaCl2. Video-tracking of chloroplasts in the dark revealed that the mobility of chloroplasts was higher in medium with EGTA than in medium with EGTA plus CaCl2 and that many of the chloroplasts moved jerkily in the medium with EGTA. This change in the nature of movements was also seen under polarized light, resulting in the disturbance of photoorientation. These results indicate that the inhibition of photoorientation at low concentrations of Ca2+ ions may be due to change in the nature of chloroplast movement.  相似文献

An action spectrum for the low-fluencerate response of chloroplast movement in protonemata of the fern Adiantum capillus-veneris L. was determined using polarized light vibrating perpendicularly to the protonema axis. The spectrum had several peaks in the blue region around 450 nm and one in the red region at 680 nm, the blue peaks being higher than the red one. The red-light action was suppressed by nonpolarized far-red light given simultaneously or alternately, whereas the bluelight action was not. Chloroplast movement was also induced by a local irradiation with a narrow beam of monochromatic light. A beam of blue light at low energy fluence rates (7.3·10-3-1.0 W m-2) caused movement of the chloroplasts to the beam area (positive response), while one at high fluence rates (10 W m-2 and higher) caused movement to outside of the beam area (negative response). A red beam caused a positive response at fluence rates up to 100 W m-2, but a negative response at very high fluence rates (230 and 470 W m-2). When a far-red beam was combined with total background irradiation with red light at fluence rates causing a low-fluence-rate response in whole cells, chloroplasts moved out of the beam area. When blue light was used as background irradiation, however, a narrow far-red beam had no effect on chloroplast distribution. These results indicate that the light-oriented movement of Adiantum chloroplasts is caused by red and blue light, mediated by phytochrome and another, unidentified photoreceptor(s), respectively. This movement depends on a local gradient of the far-red-absorbing form of phytochrome or of a photoexcited blue-light photoreceptor, and it includes positive and negative responses for both red and blue light.Abbreviations BL blue light - FR far-red light - Pfr far-red-absorbing form of phytochrome - Pr red-absorbing form of phytochrome - R red light - UV ultraviolet  相似文献

The polarotropic response in protonemata of the fern Adiantumis regulated by phytochrome (Kadota et al. 1984); PR and PFRhave been shown to be dichroically oriented parallel and normalto the cell surface, respectively (Kadota et al. 1982). Thischange in the dichroic orientation of phytochrome during photoconversionwas analyzed by a newly-built, polarization plane-rotatabledouble laser flash irradiator. A polarotropic response was effectivelyinduced with a flash of polarized red (640 nm) light (6xl0–7s) having the vibration plane of the electrical vector parallelto the protonemal cell axis. When a flash of polarized far-red(710 nm) light (6xl0–7s) was given 30 sec after the redflash, the red flash-induced response was reversed by a far-redflash vibrating normal to the cell axis but not by one vibratingparallel. However, when given 2 µs or 2 ms after the redflash, the polarotropic response was not reversed by a polarizedfar-red flash vibrating normal to the cell axis but was reversedby a parallel-vibrating flash. These results suggest that theorientation of phototransformation intermediates existing 2µs or 2 ms after a red flash is still parallel to thecell surface, and that the change in the orientation of phytochromemolecules occurs between 2 ms and 30 s after the red flash.

Blue light-induced phototropism in Adiantum protonemata wasinvestigated with microbeam irradiation. Brief irradiation withblue light effectively induced a phototropic response when itwas applied to a half-side of the apical 200d µm regionof a protonema. The phototropic response was partly reversedby the subsequent far-red light irradiation but the full reversalof the response was not observed even when the fluence of far-redlight was increased. In the far-red reversible part of the response,blue/far-red photoreversibility was repeatedly observed. Thus,both phytochrome and a blue light-absorbing pigment (other thanphytochrome) seem to be involved in the blue light-induced phototropicresponse in Adiantum protonemata. Furthermore, detailed studiesof the far-red light effect on the fluence-response curve forblue lightinduced phototropism revealed that the concomitantmediation by the two receptors was limited to the response inthe relatively higher fluence range of blue light and that theblue light-absorbing pigment alone was responsible in the lowerfluence range. In the higher fluence range, the response mediatedby the blue light-absorbing pigment became saturated and thephytochrome response became evident, indicating a differencein the sensitivities of the two receptor pigments to blue light. When various regions of half-sides of protonemata were irradiatedwith a blue microbeam of 10 µm width, irradiation at theapical 5–25 µm region was most effective both forphytochrome- and blue light-absorbing pigment-mediated response,indicating that the site of blue light perception is almostidentical for each response.

Chloroplast photorelocation movement in green plants is generally mediated by blue light. However, in cryptogam plants, including ferns, mosses, and algae, both red light and blue light are effective. Although the photoreceptors required for this phenomenon have been identified, the mechanisms underlying this movement response are not yet known. In order to analyze this response in more detail, chloroplast movement was induced in dark-adapted Adiantum capillus-veneris gametophyte cells by partial cell irradiation with a microbeam of red and/or blue light. In each case, chloroplasts were found to move toward the microbeam-irradiated area. A second microbeam was also applied to the cell at a separate location before the chloroplasts had reached the destination of the first microbeam. Under these conditions, chloroplasts were found to change their direction of movement without turning and move toward the second microbeam-irradiated area after a lag time of a few minutes. These findings indicate that chloroplasts can move in any direction and do not exhibit a polarity for chloroplast accumulation movement. This phenomenon was analyzed in detail in Adiantum and subsequently confirmed in Arabidopsis thaliana palisade cells. Interestingly, the lag time for direction change toward the second microbeam in Adiantum was longer in the red light than in the blue light. However, the reason for this discrepancy is not yet understood.

Growth and dormancy in Lunularia are controlled by daylength,short-day promoting active growth, long-day or light-break treatmentinducing dormancy. Light-breaks of red light are highly effectivein inducing dormancy, while irradiation with other wavebandsis much less inhibitory to growth. Far-red light given afterred irradiation causes substantial reversal of the red-lighteffect, suggesting strongly that phytochrome is involved inthe photoperiodic response mechanism of Lunularia. However,even short(15 sec.) exposures to far-red light alone cause significantgrowth inhibition, and it is considered possible that far-redirradiation also leads to the formation of some of the P 730form of phytochrome.  相似文献

Spirogyra filaments show unique photomovement that differs in response to blue, red, and far‐red light. Phototropins involved in the blue‐light movement have been characterized together with downstream signaling components, but the photoreceptors and mechanical effectors of red‐ and far‐red light movement are not yet characterized. The filaments of Spirogyra varians slowly bent and aggregated to form a tangled mass in red light. In far‐red light, the filaments unbent, stretched rapidly, and separated from each other. Mannitol and/or sorbitol treatment significantly inhibited this far‐red light movement suggesting that turgor pressure is the driving force of this movement. The bending and aggregating movements of filaments in red light were not affected by osmotic change. Three phytochrome homologues isolated from S. varians showed unique phylogenetic characteristics. Two canonical phytochromes, named SvPHY1 and SvPHY2, and a noncanonical phytochrome named SvPHYX2. SvPHY1 is the first PHY1 family phytochrome reported in zygnematalean algae. The gene involved in the transport of phytochromes into the nucleus was characterized, and its expression in response to red and far‐red light was measured using quantitative PCR. Our results suggest that the phytochromes and the genes involved in the transport system into the nucleus are well conserved in S. varians.  相似文献

Spectrophotometric studies of fern phytochrome were performedusing dark-grown leaves of Adiantum. The absorbance differencespectrum between the red- and far-red-light irradiated sampleshowed a photoreversible absorbance change in the far-red region,with a maximum located at 728–730 nm. The concentrationof phytochrome was highest at the leaf tips and decreased graduallyalong the leaf axis. As in the case of angiosperm phytochrome,the level of fern phytochrome decreased under continuous whitelight, and the level increased again when deetiolated tissuewas transferred back to the dark. When the fern tissue was exposedto a pulse of red light, the dark reversion of PFR to PR tookplace with almost no destruction of PFR. Phytochrome could beextracted from light-grown young leaves of the fern with a slightlyalkaline, aqueous buffer that contained 1 M NaCl. The differencespectrum of the partially purified phytochrome from fern wassimilar to that of partially degraded phytochrome from angio-sperms.A polyclonal antibody raised against phytochrome from etiolatedrye seedlings immuno-stained (albeit weakly) a 110-kDa polypeptideafter fractionation by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresisof the preparation of fern phytochrome. The band was very probablyfern phytochrome since it emitted zinc-induced fluorescence. (Received July 12, 1990; Accepted October 5, 1990)  相似文献

Phototropism of youngAdiantum fern leaves is induced by red light as well as blue light. The red light response is mediated by phytochrome. This is the first evidence of phytochrome action in diploid fern tissue. The blue light response is mainly mediated not by phytochrome, but probably by a blue light-absorbing pigment as in the case of almost all plants and fungi. The red light-induced phototropism becomes detectable within 2 hr after the onset of unilateral light. The highest bending rate is about 10 degrees/hr, which occurs between 3–5 hr after the induction of the tropic response. The bending region is about 6–8 mm from the highest point of the coiled crozier where the growth rate becomes slow.  相似文献

Measuring the ratio of the number of photooriented chloroplaststo the total number of chloroplasts, we found that photoorientationof chloroplasts in protonemata of the fern Adiantum capillus-veneriscould be induced by brief irradiation with polarized red light.After irradiation with red light (R) of 3 or 10 min, orientationalmovement was detected as early as 10 min after the irradiation;it continued during the subsequent dark period for 30–60min, after which chloroplasts gradually dispersed again. WhenR-treated protonemata were irradiated briefly with a second10-min pulse of R, 60 min after the onset of the first irradiation,the orientational response of chloroplasts was again observed.Typical red/far-red photoreversibility was apparent in the response,indicating the involvement of phytochrome. By contrast, irradiationwith polarized blue light for 10 min was ineffective, whileirradiation with blue light (B) at the same fluence for a longerperiod of time clearly induced the photoorientation of chloroplasts.It is likely that longterm irradiation is necessary for theresponse mediated by a blue-light receptor. When protonemata were irradiated with far-red light (FR) immediatelyafter R or after a subsequent dark period of 10 min, the magnitudeof the orientational response was smaller and chloroplasts dispersedmore quickly than those exposed to R alone. When FR was appliedat 50 min, when the response to R had reached the maximum level,chloroplasts again dispersed rapidly to their dark positions.These results indicate that PFR not only induces the photoorientationmovement of chloroplasts but also fixes the chloroplasts atthe sites to which they have moved as a result of photoorientation.

The rate of destruction of the far red absorbing form of phytochrome(Pfr) in green or etiolated cuttings of Vigna radiata was slowerin the presence of malformin than in its absence. Malforminhad no effect on the accumulation of total phytochrome in thedark, or on the reaccumulation of phytochrome after destructionin red light. The amount of photoconversion of the red absorbingform of phytochrome (Pr) to Pfr or Pfr to Pr by given dosesof red or far red radiation was slightly but consistently lessin malformin-treated cuttings of V. radiata than in controls.Malformin had no effect on the rate of destruction or photoconversionof phytochrome in etiolated shoots of Avena sativa. The decreasein destruction rate of Pfr by malformin in V. radiata may contributeto the inhibition of dark abscission by malformin after lighttreatment. (Received October 3, 1979; )  相似文献

The action spectrum for polarotropism was determined, using the Okazaki large spectrograph, by brief irradiation with light between 260 nm and 850 nm in single-celled protonemata of the fern Adiantum capillus-veneris L., which had been cultured for 6 days in red light and then in the dark for 15 h. The action spectrum had a peak at around 680 nm. This effect was nullified by subsequent irradiaton with far-red light, and typical red/far-red reversibility was observed, indicating the involvement of phytochrome. Polarized ultraviolet or blue light had no effect on the direction of apical growth. The action spectrum for phototropism was also determined in the red light region by means of brief microbeam irradiation of a flank of the subapical region of the protonema. This spectrum showed a peak at 662 nm which was consistent with the absorption peak of phytochrome, but not with the peak of the action spectrum for polarotropism.  相似文献

Summary Using a centrifuge microscope with stroboscopic illumination, we examined the effects of light irradiation on the passive movement of chloroplasts in dark-adapted mesophyll cells ofVallisneria gigantea. While irradiation with red light accelerates the passive gliding of chloroplasts produced by centrifugal force, irradiation with far-red light negates this effect. Irradiation with blue light does not accelerate the passive gliding, while red light is completely effective even in the presence of 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea, an inhibitor of photosynthesis. An apparently active movement of chloroplasts can be induced by irradiation with red or blue light only in the presence of the far-red light-absorbing form of phytochrome. The significance of the reaction in the light with respect to the regulation of cytoplasmic streaming is discussed.Abbreviations APW artificial pond water - CMS centrifuge microscope of the stroboscopic type - DCMU 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea - Pfr phytochrome, far-red light-absorbing form - Pr phytochrome, red light-absorbing form  相似文献

Side branch formation in the moss, Physcomitrella patens, has been shown to be light dependent with cryptochrome 1a and 1b (Ppcry1a and Ppcry1b), being the blue light receptors for this response (Imaizumi et al. in Plant Cell 14:373, 2002). In this study, detailed photobiological analyses were performed, which revealed that this response involves multiple photoreceptors including cryptochromes. For light induction of branches, blue light of a fluence rate higher than 6 μmol m−2 s−1 for period longer than 3 h is required. The number of branches increased with the increase in fluence rate and in the irradiation period. The number of branches also increased when red light was applied together with the blue light, although red light alone had a very few effect. By partially irradiating a cell, both receptive sites for blue and red light were found to be located around the nucleus. Further, both red and blue light determine the positions of branches being dependent upon the vibration plane of polarized light. Red light control of branch position was nullified by simultaneous far-red light irradiation. A blue light effect on branch position was not found in lines with disrupted phototropin genes. Thus, dichroic phytochrome and phototropin, possibly on the plasma membrane, regulate branch position. These results indicate that at least four distinct photoreceptor systems, namely, cryptochromes and red light receptor around or in the nucleus, dichroic phytochrome and phototropin around the cell periphery, are involved in the light induction of side branches in the moss Physcomitrella patens.  相似文献

The action spectrum for the light-activated destruction of phytochrome in etiolated Avena seedlings has been determined. There are 2 broad maxima, one between 380 and 440 mμ, the other between 600 and 700 mμ. peaking at about 660 mμ. On an incident energy basis, the red region of the spectrum is more efficient than the blue by about one order of magnitude in activating phytochrome disappearance. Both the red absorbing as well as the far-red absorbing forms of phytochrome are destroyed after exposure of Avena seedling to either red or blue light.

From the action spectrum and photoreversibility of pigment loss, we conclude that phytochrome acts as a photoreceptor for the photoactivation of its metabolically-based destruction. We suggest that another pigment might also be associated with the disappearance of phytochrome in oat seedlings exposed to blue light.

Two fractionation procedures were used to study the phenomenonof phytochrome pelletability or binding to a particulate fractionof maize coleoptiles. Using a revised procedure, we were unableto show an increase of phytochrome pelletability during darkincubation of red irradiated plant tissue, reported by Manabeand Furuya for pea seedlings (6), and the Pfr-enhanced affinityfor Pr in R/FR irradiated tissue as reported by Quail et al.(11). However, we were able to match these reported observationsusing a procedure which we have regarded as standard. In thestandard procedure, the irradiated tissue is homogenized andthe brei permitted to incubate in the dark at 0?C before fractionationby differential centrifugation prior to measurements of phytochromepelletability. In the revised procedure this incubation is eliminatedand fractionation and measurement follow directly on tissuehomogenization. A progressive decrease of particulate phytochromewas observed during dark incubation at 0?C of the brei fromred irradiated tissue, but no substantial decrease was observedduring dark incubation of the red irradiated tissue at 0?C.The decrease was not dependent on in vitro PfrPr reversion.In the case of R/FR irradiated tissues, phytochrome pelletabilitywas found to decrease during dark incubation of both the irradiatedtissue and its brei at 0?C. With these results and a recognitionof the tendency of phytochrome to dissociate from the particulatefraction in vitro, we have thus rationalized the results ofQuail et al. (11) and Manabe and Furuya (6). (Received August 12, 1976; )  相似文献

Using gene targeting by homologous recombination in Ceratodon purpureus, we were able to knock out four phytochrome photoreceptor genes independently and to analyze their function with respect to red light dependent phototropism, polarotropism, and chlorophyll content. The strongest phenotype was found in knock-out lines of a newly described phytochrome gene termed CpPHY4 lacking photo- and polarotropic responses at moderate fluence rates. Eliminating the atypical phytochrome gene CpPHY1, which is the only known phytochrome-like gene containing a putative C-terminal tyrosine kinase-like domain, affects red light-induced chlorophyll accumulation. This result was surprising, since no light dependent function was ever allocated to this unusual gene.

Phytochrome- and a blue light receptor-dependent pathway antagonisticallyregulate the first mitosis in spores of the fern Adiantum capillus-venerisL. This study focused on determining which phase(s) of the cellcycle is positively regulated by phytochrome and negativelyregulated by a blue light receptor in germinating spores. Incorporationof the radioactivity of 3H-thymidine into the acid-insolublematerial prepared from the spores indicated that phytochromein the PFR form induced the entry into S phase of the firstcell cycle in the spores 20-28 h after irradiation with redlight. Blue light treatment before or after red light treatmenttotally prevented the PFR-induced DNA synthesis. Brief irradiationwith red, far-red or blue light showed no effects on mitosisif the irradiation was given 28 h after the red light induction,during S and M phases. These results indicate that phytochromeand a blue light receptor regulate the entry into S phase duringthe first cell cycle of fern spores. ( Accepted July 10, 1997)  相似文献

Continuous irradiation of Mesembryanthemum crystallinum plantswith light of equal amounts of photosynthetically active radiation,but widely different red:far red ratios was used to intervenein phytochrome-mediated signal transduction pathways in thepresence and absence of salt stress. Light with a low ratioof red:far red (in contrast to light with a high ratio of red:farred), caused induction of PEP carboxylase activity, accumulationof the CAM isoform of PEP carboxylase, and the accumulationof malate anion. Taking these as indicators of CAM inductionit is concluded that phytochrome can participate in the signaltransduction pathway leading to CAM in M. crystallinum. A lowratio of red: far red light acted synergystically with saltstress in the induction of these CAM indicators. The simplestinterpretation of this interaction is that the phytochrome-mediatedeffects and salt stress effects acted on the same signal transductionpathway. The accumulation of pinitol was also increased by light witha low ratio of red:far red, consistent with the existence ofa stress syndrome in M. crystallinum which utilizes a commontransduction pathway. A low ratio of red:far red light induced a strong shade avoidanceresponse and, compared to light with a high red:far red ratio,modified chlorophyll content and betacyanin pigment complement. Plants grown in light with a low ratio of red:far red floweredearlier than plants grown in light with a high red:far red ratio. It is concluded that phytochrome can participate in the signaltransduction pathway leading to the induction of both CAM andthe processes which result in pinitol accumulation and pigmentationin M. crystallinum, as well as in the mediation of shade avoidanceand flowering responses.

Irradiation of spores of the fern Mohria caffrorum Sw. witheither red light (67.4 µW cm–2) or far-red light(63.2 µW cm–2) for a period of 24 h induced maximumlevels of germination. Brief irradiations with blue light (127.6µW cm–2) administered before or after photoinductioncompletely nullified the effects of red or far-red light; however,with prolonged exposure to blue light, germination levels roseto near maximum. The similar effects of red and far-red lightin promoting spore germination makes the involvement of phytochromein this process questionable. Based on energy requirements,the promotive and inhibitory phases of blue light appear toinvolve independent modes of action.
