The effect of triacontanol on micropropagation of Capsicum frutescens and Decalepis hamiltonii W & A

We studied the effect of triacontanol (TRIA) on shoot multiplication and rooting of in vitro derived shoot tips of Capsicum frutescens and Decalepis hamiltonii W & A. In both shoot multiplication and rooting phases, TRIA was administered at 2-20 g l^–1. TRIA resulted in highest promotion of axillary shoot proliferation at 2 g l^–1 in Capsicum frutescens and 20 g l^–1 in Decalepis hamiltonii while rooting was maximum at 5 and 10 g l^–1 for Capsicum frutescens and Decalepis hamiltonii respectively. TRIA enhanced shoot growth and chlorophyll content of leaves and also influenced root induction and supported growth of the roots. This work reveals that TRIA can be used as an effective growth regulator in the micropropagation of Capsicum frutescens and Decalepis hamiltonii, an endangered shrub of Deccan peninsular India.     

Yield of tomato and maize in response to foliar and root applications of triacontanol

Triacontanol applied to tomato plants as a foliar spray caused a significant increase in total yield and yield per plant. When triacontantol was added to the growth medium, only a temporary increase in yield and number of fruits was observed. The yield of maize was unaffected by triacontanol, either applied to the leaves or to the growth substrate. These results support an earlier observation that a reduction in photorespiration is involved in the regulatory function of triacontanol, since only the yield of tomato, a C₃ plant, was increased. The application method was an important factor in it's effectiveness.     

Micropropagation of Bupleurum fruticosum: The effect of triacontanol

A micropropagation protocol of Bupleurum fruticosumL. was developed, in order to obtain a great number of plants for the production of secondary metabolites. The combination of 1.0 mg l^–1 indole-3-acetic acid and 1.5 mg l^–1 6-benzyladenine added to Murashige–Skoog medium resulted in the best multiplication. Root formation gave the same results in hormone-free medium and in the medium to which various concentrations of 1-naphthaleneacetic acid had been added. In both the multiplication and the rooting phase, 2, 5, 10 and 20 g l^–1 triacontanol were applied. After 4 weeks of culture, the number of shoots and nodes and the fresh weight were measured in the multiplication phase. Root number, shoot length, node number and fresh weight were determined in the root induction phase, while chlorophyll content was measured in both phases. In the multiplication phase 2 g l^–1 triacontanol was found to be the optimal concentration, the same as was the case in the rooting phase, except for the production of epigeous structures, for which the optimal concentration was 10 g l^–1.     

Structures, Components and Functions of Secretory Tissues in Houttuynia cordata

Houttuynia cordata Thunb., traditionally used as a therapeutic plant in folk medicine, has shown antioxidant and anticancer activities. The species, as a core component of paleoherbs, is normally characterized based on the presence of different types of secretory tissue： oil cells, three types of secretory cells and glandular hairs. The aim of this work was to study the structural, componential, and the functional characteristics of the secretory tissues in both the floral and vegetative parts. The results indicate that oil cells and secretory cells are distributed in all organs of the plant, while glandular hairs are situated on the aerial stems and leaves. Both oil cells and glandular hairs initiate from the protoderm, but their developmental processes are different. Although three types of secretory cells initiate from different primary meristems, the developmental patterns of different secretory cells are the same. Also, although the origins of secretory cells are different from oil cells, their early developmental processes are the same. Histochemical results show that oil cells, secretory cells and glandular hairs produce flavonoids, phenolic compounds, tannins, lipids, aldehyde and ketone-compounds. In addition, there are terpenoids and pectic-like substances in oil cells, alkaloids in secretory cells of aerial stems, and terpenoids and alkaloids in glandular hairs. These compounds play very important roles in protecting plants from being eaten by herbivores （herbivory） and infected by microbial pathogens. The oil cell and secretory cell, as unicellular secretory tissues, are intermediates between the primitive surface glandular and secretory cavity and canal during the evolution of secretory structures.     

The effect of triacontanol on micropropagation of balm, Melissa officinalis L.

 Triacontanol, a long-chain primary alcohol was found to be an effective growth regulator in the micropropagation of balm, Melissa officinalis. In both the multiplication and the rooting phase, concentrations of 2, 5, 10 and 20 μg triacontanol per liter were applied. After 4 weeks of culture, the fresh weight of shoots was measured in the multiplication phase and root formation, photosynthetic activity, chlorophyll content and the fresh and dry weights of shoots were analyzed in the root induction phase. In the multiplication phase, 5 μg/l triacontanol was found to be the optimal concentration, while in the rooting phase 2 μg/l was the most effective. Triacontanol increased the number and length of roots, and it enhanced shoot growth, fresh weight, and the chlorophyll content, but it had no effect on the dry weight and the photosynthetic activity of the plants. Results of our work demonstrate that triacontanol can be applied as an effective growth regulator in the tissue culture of balm.

东北桤木叶表皮盾状腺毛的形态及其变化过程

利用电镜扫描技术,观察东北桤木叶片表面,发现其远轴面表皮上具有盾状腺毛。其由2个基细胞、4个柄细胞和20～25个头部细胞组成,随着分泌物质的积累,细胞逐渐破裂。幼叶远轴面表皮无盾状腺毛,仅有气孔分布。观察东北桤木叶片横切面,发现其为异面叶,远轴面表皮上的盾状腺毛细胞与叶脉维管组织相连。外文资料显示用于表述桤木属表皮上的盾状腺毛的名词较多,该毛状体应为“Peltate glandular hairs”。同时建议对“Glandular scales”、“Peltate gland”、“Peltate scale”、“Peltate glandular hairs”等名词进行规范统一。另外有关东北桤木叶表皮上毛状体从原表皮细胞的发生过程及其分泌物的成份,需进一步研究。

Influence of plant growth regulators on the growth and essential oil content of cultured Lavandula dentata plantlets

Micropropagation of L. dentata L. through shoot-tips (ca. 5 mm) was achieved successfully. Micropropagated plantlets were cultured without plant regulators in the culture medium (control) or in media containing 0.1 mg l⁻¹ of 6-benzyladenine (BA) and/or indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). These plantlets were examined for their essential oil content and composition in relation to growth rate and density and secretory or postsecretory stage of glandular hairs at five weeks of culture. The growth rates of these plantlets were not always correlated with their essential oil content (0.26%–0.65% v/w). However, all cultured plantlets showed a positive correlation between oil accumulation and the percentage of glandular hairs in secretory stage. Quantitative changes in the major monoterpene components (1,8-cineole, fenchol, borneol and camphor) and sesquiterpene content of plantlet oil, were also observed in response to the effect of varying growth regulator concentration in the culture medium. The influence of this effect on HMG-CoA reductase activity of cultured plantlets is also discussed. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Hormonal activities of 5-aminolevulinic acid in callus induction and micropropagation

The role of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) as a precursor of chlorophyll and a herbicide is well documented. 5-ALA as a Plant Growth substance is also proven in recent times. In the present report, to elucidate the physiological effects of 5-ALA, the compound was used in in vitro studies using MS medium supplemented with 5-ALA at 2, 5 and 10 mg l^-1. Leaf and cotyledonary node were used as the explants. In vitro studies confirmed the hormonal role of 5-ALA by striking proliferation of callus paripassu induction of rooting and shooting with a profound effect of the former than the latter. Thus, 5-ALA has the dual properties of auxin and cytokinin in the induction of callusing and rhizogenesis, and shooting respectively.     

The effect of abscisic acid on root and shoot growth of cauliflower plants

Addition of abscisic acid (ABA) to the nutrient solution increased the root to shoot ratio of hydroponically-grown cauliflower plants by reducing the dry weight of the shoot and increasing that of the root. At concentrations higher than 10^–7 M, ABA increased root branching and root hair formation. Root extension was inhibited in plants kept continuously in solutions containing high ABA concentrations but following removal from the ABA solution root elongation was increased in comparison with plants given no ABA treatment. This elongation was greatest in plants with increased root branching caused by higher ABA concentrations.     

The effect of triacontanol on growth, photosynthesis and photorespiration in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Anacystis nidulans

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Dangerad 11–32(90) (−), which exhibits C3 properties, and Anacystis nidulans (Strain no. UTEX 625), which exhibits C4 properties, were used to study the effects of triacontanol on growth, photosynthesis and photorespiration. Photosynthetic rate was measured as CO2 uptake and the O2 inhibition of photosynthesis was used as a measure of photorespiration. Triacontanol dissolved in chloroform and dispersed in Tween-20 and triacontanol colloidally dispersed in an aqueous solution of sodium tallow alkyl sulfate were tested. Chlamydomonas cultures increased significantly in cell number after 4 days, and in chlorophyll content after 3 days of treatment with 2.3 × 10⁻⁸ M TRIA in chloroform/Tween-20. In cultures of Anacystis the chlorophyll content became significantly higher 3 days after treatment with 2.3 × 10⁻⁹ M TRIA and the cell number was noticeably higher than the controls.
CO₂ uptake by triacontanol-treated Chlamydomonas cultures was about the same in both 2 and 21% O2, and the O2 inhibition was significantly reduced as compared with the controls. Photosynthesis in Anacystis was O2-insensitive under the experimental condition used. When Anacystis was treated with triacontanol there was no change in the rate of CO2 uptake and no change in the O2 sensitivity of its CO2 uptake. It appears that triacontanol affects some process which regulated the balance between photosynthesis and photorespiration, but other processes which result in increased growth are probably also affected.     

Glandular hairs of Sigesbeckia jorullensis Kunth (Asteraceae): morphology,histochemistry and composition of essential oil

Long-stalked glandular hairs of outer and inner involucral bracts of Sigesbeckia jorullensis, which are important for epizoic fruit propagation, were investigated using light and scanning electron microscopy. The essential oil secreted by the hairs was analysed by chromatographic methods including gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and with a laser microprobe mass analyser. The glandular hairs consisted of a large multicellular stalk and a multicellular secreting head. The apical layer of glandular head cells was characterized by leucoplasts and calcium oxalate crystals. Below the apical cells there were up to six layers of cells containing many chloroplasts around the nucleus and surrounded by vacuoles filled with flavonoids and tannins. The essential oil originating in the head cells was secreted into the subcuticular space and may be liberated by rupture of the cuticle. It was mainly composed of sesqui- and diterpenes, with the sesquiterpene hydrocarbon germacrene-D as the main component. Monoterpenes, n-alkanes and their derivatives as well as flavonoid aglycones were also detected. The stickiness of the essential oil is probably associated with the high content of oxygenated sesqui- and diterpenes. In addition to long-stalked trichomes, small biseriate trichomes occurred, secreting small quantities of essential oil into a subcuticular space.

Effect of triacontanol and chlormequat on growth,plant hormones and artemisinin yield in Artemisia annua L.

Artemisinin and herbage yield of Artemisia annua plants were determined after application of triacontanol (tria.) and chlormequat (2-chloroethyltrimethylammonium chloride). Tria. at 1.0 and 1.5 mgl^–1 produced a statistically significant positive effect on artemisinin level as well as on plant height, leaf and herbage yield. Chlormequat at 1000 and 1500 mgl^–1 also increased artemisinin level, decreased the plant height at higher concentrations and increased the leaf and herbage yield at lower concentrations. Tria. application enhanced GA-like activity, but ABA levels decreased, while chlormequat increased ABA but reduced GA-like substances. The effect of Tria. on artemisinin yield seems to be mediated through its effect on plant growth.CIMAP Publication.

采用水蒸气蒸馏法和气相色谱-质谱联用技术(GC-MS)分析阔叶百里香(Thymus pulegioides)鲜、干茎叶精油含油率、化学组成及其相对含量的差异,并比较精油对链格孢(Alternaria alternata)、粉红单端孢(Trichothecium roseum)和意大利青霉(Penicillium italicum)的抑制效果。鲜、干茎叶含精油率分别为0.53%、0.37%,分别鉴定出35、40种化合物,其主要化学成分相同,均含有百里香酚(鲜样31.30%,干样26.82%)、麝香草酚甲醚、右旋龙脑和邻伞花烃等,只是相对含量略有差异;在抑菌实验中,百里香精油对链格孢菌的抑制作用最为明显,其次是意大利青霉和粉红单端孢。鲜、干阔叶百里香精油的组分较为接近,相对含量略有差异;阔叶百里香精油对3种真菌具有较好的抑制效果,且鲜样精油的抑菌效果好于干样精油。     

不同植物生长调节剂对小麦衰老及产量构成的调节效应

研究了叶面喷施GA3、NBT、6－BA、TIBA、PP333对小麦旗叶衰老过程中若干生理指标的影响,分析了它们对成产要素的不同作用。结果表明：不同生长调节剂可以以不同的方式调节小麦旗叶的衰老,影响小麦产量构成因素水平。其中6－BA和PP333能够提高单位面积穗数,明显延缓叶片衰老,增加了穗粒数和千粒重,使成产3因素间比例协调合理,产量较高;TIBA可以明显提高叶绿素含量并显著提高千粒重。GA3和NBT对延缓旗叶衰老有一定作用,但增产效果不显著。研究指出,根据小麦生育状况有选择性地使用生长调节剂,协调成产因素关系,是一个有效的增产途径。     

The effect of sugars on niger embryogenesis and plant regeneration in anther culture

The influence of different sugars (sucrose, maltose, glucose and fructose, 0.05–0.5 M) on embryogenesis and plant regeneration from cultured anthers of niger [Guizotia abyssinica (L. f.) Cass.] have been studied. Among the different sugars tested, 0.2 M sucrose was the best for embryo induction and plant regeneration. Maximum of 57 embryos per 60 anthers were induced on embryo induction medium [Gamborg’s B5 medium supplemented with 10 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 2 μM kinetin (KIN)] containing 0.2 M sucrose. Embryo differentiation was achieved on B5 medium supplemented with 0.5 μM benzyladenine (BA) and 0.09 M sucrose. Embryo maturation was on B5 medium containing 10 μM abscisic acid (ABA) and 0.09 M sucrose. Embryo germination was achieved on B5 medium with 0.09 M sucrose. Embryos that were developed on B5 medium supplemented with 0.2 M sucrose showed highest frequency (68 %) of plant regeneration.     

The effect of herbicides,plant growth regulators and other compounds on phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity

The in vitro and in vivo effects of a number of herbicides and plant growth regulators on phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity were investigated. The most elective in vitro inhibitors were product analogs, t-cinnamic and p-coumaric acids, and carbonyl reagents, hydroxylamine and nitromethane. Application of the herbicides diuron, dalapon, amiben, and chloropropham, to plants resulted in a decrease in the intracellular concn of PAL. The inhibitory effect of alachlor was found to be dose-responsive and somewhat specific. A correlation between PAL inhibition and herbicidal activity was observed for hydroxylamine. The cytokinin, pyranyl benzyladenine, (PBA) increased PAL activity in pigweed. The possibility of developing herbicides acting through PAL inhibition is discussed.
