抗坏血酸对沙打旺原生质体分离和培养中膜损伤及相关酶活性的影响

抗坏血酸（ＡＳＡ） 能减轻沙打旺原生质体的褐化,改善原生质体的培养状况。ＡＳＡ的作用可能与它增强原生质体抗过氧化能力有关。酶解处理诱导原生质体超氧化物歧化酶（ＳＯＤ） 和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶（ＡＰＸ）活性升高,但培养过程使ＡＰＸ 活性明显下降,原生质体清除过氧化物能力减弱,膜脂过氧化产物丙二醛（ ＭＤＡ） 积累增加,膜发生损伤。向酶溶液和培养基中添加ＡＳＡ 可显著提高ＳＯＤ 尤其是ＡＰＸ 活性,减轻膜脂过氧化,增强原生质体的存活力,促进原生质体的分裂和细胞克隆的形成。所有处理中过氧化氢酶（ＣＡＴ） 活性变化不大,表明它在原生质体清除过氧化物过程中不具主要作用。

Comparison of Membrane Surface Proteins of Sperm Cells and Somatic Protoplasts of Zea mays

Viable sperm cells and somatic protoplasts (leaf, callus) of Zea mays were successfully isolated and purified. The plasma membrane surface proteins of intact somatic protoplasts and sperm cells were compared after probing with N-hydroxysuccinimido-biotin (NHS-bi-otin). Horseradish peroxidase-labelled avidin (HRP-avidin) was used to detect membrane proteins after separation by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Four protein bands characteristic of the surface membrane of sperm cells were identified varying from 48 to 78 kD, five bands of leaf protoplasts in the range of 45~78 kD, and two bands of callus protoplasts, 67 and 80 kD were detected. One protein of 48 kD was specific to the surface membrane of sperm cells and might be related to the specific roles of sperm cell physiology.

Seawater-resistant, non-spherical protoplasts from seagrass leaves

Two distinct types occurred among enzymatically isolated protoplasts from leaves of eelgrasses ( Zostera marina L., Z. japonica Ascherson and Phyllospadix iwatensis Makino). Spherical protoplasts with a smooth cell membrane were obtained only from young leaf tissues at the basal portions of blades protected from seawater by tightly enclosing sheaths. Non-spherical protoplasts had a highly invaginated cell membrane and were obtained from mature leaf blades, where the cells also in situ have this type of membrane. The protoplasts from mature leaves were rather rigid in shape and resistant to wide ranges of osmotic potential and salinity without change in their non-spherical shape, while the spherical protoplasts were rapidly destroyed in seawater. Detergents lysed the spherical protoplasts but not the non-spherical ones, suggesting that the highly invaginated enclosing structures of the non-spherical protoplasts contained detergent-resistant materials. Thus, the seagrass leaf cells develop seawater resistance, and this change alters the nature of the enclosing structures during the growth of the leaf blades. The non-membranous enclosing structures and their characteristic materials in the mature leaf cells remain to be defined.     

Evidence for the expression of morphological and biochemical characteristics of C3-photosynthesis in chlorohyllous callus cultures of Zea mays

A Zea mays callus culture containing chlorophyll was established and grown photomixotrophically. Cell chloroplast structure, and pigment and soluble protein contents were examined. Expression of some key enzymes of C₄ carbon metabolism was compared with that of etiolated (heterotrophic) and green photoautotrophic leaves. Chlorophyll content of the callus was 15–20% that of green leaves. Soluble protein content of callus was half that of leaf cells. Electron microscopic observations showed that green callus cells contained only typical granal chloroplasts. Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco, EC 4.1.1.38) activities in green callus were ca 30% those of green leaves but 2–3 times higher than in etiolated leaves. Quantitative enzyme protein determination, using antibodies specific to maize leaf Rubisco showed that the chloroplastic carboxylase represented about 7% of total soluble protein in green callus, in parallel to its low chlorophyll content. The specific activity of Rubisco in callus and leaves was unchanged. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC, EC 4.1.1.31) activity in green callus was about 20% that of green leaves and similar to that measured in etiolated leaves. Apparent K_m (PEP) values (0.08 mM) for PEPC isolated from green callus and etiolated leaves were very different from values (0.5 mM) obtained with PEPC from green leaves. These kinetic characteristics together with the absence of inhibition by malate and activation by glucose-6-phosphate suggest that the properties of PEPC isolated from green callus and etiolated maize leaves are very similar to those of PEPPC from C₃ plants. Using PEPC antibodies specific to green maize leaf enzyme, immunotitration of PEPC preparations containing identical enzyme units allowed complete precipitation of the green leaf enzyme with increasing antibody volumes. In contrast, 60–70% of the activity of PEPC from etiolated and green callus was inhibited, suggesting low affinity for the maize green leaf PEPC antiserum (typical C₄ form). Ouchterlony double diffusion tests revealed only partial recognition of PEPC in green callus and etiolated leaves. NAD-malate dehydrogenase (NAD-MDH, EC 1.1.1.37) activity in callus was 2 and 3 times higher, respectively, than in etiolated and green leaves. NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME, EC 1.1.1.40) activity in callus cultures was much lower than in green leaves. All our data support the hypothesis that cultures of fully dedifferentiated chlorophyllous tissues of Zea mays possess a C₃-like metabolism.     

Polyribosomes in protoplasts isolated from tobacco leaves

Polyribosomes (polysomes), active in an amino acid incorporation system in vitro, were isolated from tobacco leaf protoplasts. A comparison of polysome profiles indicated that the polysome/monosome ratio is greatly decreased in isolated protoplasts as compared to the intact leaf. In isolated protoplasts, a marked accumulation of ribosomal subunits was also found. The division of protoplasts, as investigated in the 8-cell and callus stages, was associated with a(n) (at least) partial regeneration of polysome profiles characteristic for leaves. Plasmolysis of leaves attached to the plant had no great effect on the polysome profile. However, leaf excision per se resulted in a dramatic loss of polysomes, even when the leaf tissue was floated on water. It is concluded that the isolation of the cell from its normal environment, and not the osmotic stress and associated increase in RNase activity, is the most important factor responsible for the loss of polysomes in isolated protoplasts.Abbreviations EGTA ethylene glycol bis (2-aminoethyl ether)-tetraacetic acid - HEPES N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N-2-ethanesulfonic acid - mRNA messenger ribonucleic acid - RNase ribonuclease - Tris tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane - TCA trichloroacetic acid     

Developing biotechnology tools for ‘beautiful’ vavilovia (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Vavilovia formosa</Emphasis>), a legume crop wild relative with taxonomic and agronomic potential

Beautiful vavilovia, the closest species to the common now extinct ancestor of the whole tribe Fabeae holds significant taxonomical interest and also for breeding within this group of species, which includes the most cultivated leguminous pulses in the world. In spite of this, vavilovia has attracted very scarce research to date and is in danger of complete extinction. Thus, as a part of the research carried out by an informal international group of researchers from various countries, we report here various experiments for the development and exploitation of a range of biotechnology tools for vavilovia, ranging from standard in vitro propagation, to plant regeneration from explant-derived callus, and also from protoplasts. Plants were successfully recovered following propagation from nodes, and by regeneration through organogenesis from callus derived from internodes (which provided the best responses) and leaves. Also, protoplasts were isolated from leaves and stems from in vitro shoots and from callus derived from these two explants, with the latter undergoing sustained division. Subsequently, protoplasts isolated from internode callus proliferated and also underwent organogenesis coupled with whole plant recovery at a low frequency, while protoplasts from leaf callus origin followed both organogenesis and embryogenesis simultaneously but failed to yield viable plants. Flow cytometry assessments permitted to ascertain the genetic fidelity of both propagated and regenerated plants irrespectively of the source tissue from which they were derived (i.e., either callus from explants or from protoplasts). Finally, flow cytometry also permitted us to provide the first record on the relative nuclear DNA content and genome size for Vavilovia formosa.     

Chloroplastic NADPH oxidase-like activity-mediated perpetual hydrogen peroxide generation in the chloroplast induces apoptotic-like death of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Brassica napus</Emphasis> leaf protoplasts

Despite extensive research over the past years, regeneration from protoplasts has been observed in only a limited number of plant species. Protoplasts undergo complex metabolic modification during their isolation. The isolation of protoplasts induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in Brassica napus leaf protoplasts. The present study was conducted to provide new insight into the mechanism of ROS generation in B. napus leaf protoplasts. In vivo localization of H₂O₂ and enzymes involved in H₂O₂ generation and detoxification, molecular antioxidant-ascorbate and its redox state and lipid peroxidation were investigated in the leaf and isolated protoplasts. Incubating leaf strips in the macerating enzyme (ME) for different duration (3, 6, and 12 h) induced accumulation of H₂O₂ and malondialdehyde (lipid peroxidation, an index of membrane damage) in protoplasts. The level of H₂O₂ was highest just after protoplast isolation and subsequently decreased during culture. Superoxide generating NADPH oxidase (NOX)-like activity was enhanced, whereas superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) decreased in the protoplasts compared to leaves. Diaminobenzidine peroxidase (DAB-POD) activity was also lower in the protoplasts compared to leaves. Total ascorbate content, ascorbate to dehydroascorbate ratio (redox state), were enhanced in the protoplasts compared to leaves. Higher activity of NOX-like enzyme and weakening in the activity of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, APX, and DAB-POD) in protoplasts resulted in excessive accumulation of H₂O₂ in chloroplasts of protoplasts. Chloroplastic NADPH oxidase-like activity mediated perpetual H₂O₂ generation probably induced apoptotic-like cell death of B. napus leaf protoplasts as indicated by parallel DNA laddering and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential.     

Isolation and Biochemical Characteristics of Protoplasts of Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis (Link) Schneider)

Two types of protoplasts were isolated from leaves of shootsor callus of subcultures of jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis (Link)Schneider). Protoplasts from leaves were rich in chloro-plastsand were about half the volume of protoplasts from callus. Theviability of preparations as determined by the Evans blue techniquewas 80%. From cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry of nuclei,leaf protoplasts were uniformly in a non-proliferating phase(G0-G1), while callus protoplasts presented many phases of thecell cycle. Protoplasts from calli had only half the Chi ofthose from leaves. Yet Chi a/b ratio, as well as protein andtotal lipid content per cell, were similar in both types ofprotoplasts. A major drop in polar lipids, chiefly in mono-and digalactosyldiacylglycerol, and a parallel increase in neutrallipids occurred during protoplast isolation. The 18:2/18:3 ratiodecreased in neutral lipids concomitant with an increase intriglycerides rich in linolenic acid. Our results suggest atriggering of lipolytic acylhydrolases during the protoplastisolation, as reported for other species. Plasmolysis of thecells with high osmolarity medium and long incubation timeswere required to get a good yield of jojoba protoplasts. Inthe course of this procedure water-deficit stress takes place.A parallel with lipid changes occurring under this type of stressis discussed. (Received April 22, 1991; Accepted July 3, 1991)

Chloroplast number in guard cells as ploidy indicator of in vitro-grown androgenic pepper plantlets

Protoplasts were isolated from field and in vitro-grown leaves, cotyledons and cell suspension cultures (of ovule callus origin) of the scion apple cultivars Starkrimson, Rainier, Qiujin and Liaofu. Fast-growing calluses were obtained from leaf, cotyledon and cell suspension derived protoplasts of the four genotypes. The best proliferation responses were obtained from cell suspension protoplasts. For all genotypes tested, nodular calluses were obtained from protoplasts that had originally been cultured on K8P medium, but only those of cultivar Starkrimson underwent organogenesis. In this cultivar shoot buds were produced on callus derived from both cotyledon and cell suspension protoplasts and complete plants. This is the first example of whole plant regeneration from protoplasts isolated from an undifferentiated tissue in apple.Abbreviations BA 6-benzylaminopurine - 2,4-d 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - IAA 3-indole acetic acid - IBA 3-indole butyric acid - LH lactalbumin hydrolysate - MS Murashige & Skoog (1962) - NAA 1-naphthaleneacetic acid - TDZ thidiazuron - VC L(+) ascorbic acid
