C(4) photosynthesis in terrestrial plants was thought to require Kranz anatomy because the cell wall between mesophyll and bundle sheath cells restricts leakage of CO(2). Recent work with the central Asian chenopods Borszczowia aralocaspica and Bienertia cycloptera show that C(4) photosynthesis functions efficiently in individual cells containing both the C(4) and C(3) cycles. These discoveries provide new inspiration for efforts to convert C(3) crops into C(4) plants because the anatomical changes required for C(4) photosynthesis might be less stringent than previously thought. 相似文献

Kranz anatomy, with its separation of elements of the C4 pathway between two cells, has been an accepted criterion for function of C4 photosynthesis in terrestrial plants. However, Bienertia cycloptera (Chenopodiaceae), which grows in salty depressions of Central Asian semi-deserts, has unusual chlorenchyma, lacks Kranz anatomy, but has photosynthetic features of C4 plants. Its photosynthetic response to varying CO2 and O2 is typical of C4 plants having Kranz anatomy. Lack of night-time CO2 fixation indicates it is not acquiring carbon by Crassulacean acid metabolism. This species exhibits an independent, novel solution to function of the C4 mechanism through spatial compartmentation of dimorphic chloroplasts, other organelles and photosynthetic enzymes in distinct positions within a single chlorenchyma cell. The chlorenchyma cells have a large, spherical central cytoplasmic compartment interconnected by cytoplasmic channels through the vacuole to the peripheral cytoplasm. This compartment is filled with mitochondria and granal chloroplasts, while the peripheral cytoplasm apparently lacks mitochondria and has grana-deficient chloroplasts. Immunolocalization studies show enzymes compartmentalized selectively in the CC compartment, including Rubisco in chloroplasts, and NAD-malic enzyme and glycine decarboxylase in mitochondria, whereas pyruvate, Pi dikinase of the C4 cycle is localized selectively in peripheral chloroplasts. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, a cytosolic C4 cycle enzyme, is enriched in the peripheral cytoplasm. Our results show Bienertia utilizes strict compartmentation of organelles and enzymes within a single cell to effectively mimic the spatial separation of Kranz anatomy, allowing it to function as a C4 plant having suppressed photorespiration; this raises interesting questions about evolution of C4 mechanisms. 相似文献

Genus Suaeda (family Chenopodiaceae, subfamily Suaedoideae) has two structural types of Kranz anatomy consisting of a single compound Kranz unit enclosing vascular tissue. One, represented by Suaeda taxifolia, has mesophyll (M) and bundle sheath (BS) cells distributed around the leaf periphery. The second, represented by Suaeda eltonica, has M and BS surrounding vascular bundles in the central plane. In both, structural and biochemical development of C(4) occurs basipetally, as observed by analysis of the maturation gradient on longitudinal leaf sections. This progression in development was also observed in mid-sections of young, intermediate, and mature leaves in both species, with three clear stages: (i) monomorphic chloroplasts in the two cell types in younger tissue with immunolocalization and in situ hybridization showing ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase (Rubisco) preferentially localized in BS chloroplasts, and increasing in parallel with the establishment of Kranz anatomy; (ii) vacuolization and selective organelle positioning in BS cells, with occurrence of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) and immunolocalization showing that it is preferentially in M cells; (iii) establishment of chloroplast dimorphism and mitochondrial differentiation in mature tissue and full expression of C(4) biochemistry including pyruvate, Pi dikinase (PPDK) and NAD-malic enzyme (NAD-ME). Accumulation of rbcL mRNA preceded its peptide expression, occurring prior to organelle positioning and differentiation. During development there was sequential expression and increase in levels of Rubisco and PEPC followed by NAD-ME and PPDK, and an increase in the (13)C/(12)C isotope composition of leaves to values characteristic of C(4) photosynthesis. The findings indicate that these two forms of NAD-ME type C(4) photosynthesis evolved in parallel within the subfamily with similar ontogenetic programmes. 相似文献

C(4) photosynthesis and Kranz anatomy occur in 16 eudicot families, a striking example of convergent evolution. Biochemical subtyping for 13 previously undiagnosed C(4) eudicot species indicated that 10 were NADP-malic enzyme (ME) and three were NAD-ME. A total of 33 C(4) species, encompassing four Kranz anatomical types (atriplicoid, kochioid, salsoloid, and suaedioid), and 21 closely related C(3) species were included in a quantitative anatomical study in which we found that, unlike similar studies in grasses and sedges, anatomical type had no predictive value for the biochemical subtype. In a multivariate canonical discriminant analysis, C(4) species were distinguished from C(3) species by the mesophyll to bundle sheath ratio and exposure of the bundle sheath surface to intercellular space. Discrimination between NADP-ME and NAD-ME was not significant, although in a Mantel test grouping by biochemical subtype was significant, while grouping by family was not. This comprehensive survey of C(4) anatomy and biochemistry unequivocally demonstrated that atriplicoid anatomy and NADP-ME biochemistry predominate in many evolutionary lineages. In addition to a main decarboxylating enzyme, high activity of a second decarboxylating enzyme was often observed. Notably, PEP-carboxykinase activity was significant in a number of species, demonstrating that this enzyme could also serve as a secondary pathway for C(4) metabolism in eudicots. 相似文献

Kranz anatomy and C(4) vein pattern are required for C(4) biochemical functioning in C(4) plants; however, the evolutionary timing of anatomical and biochemical adaptations is unknown. From the genus Flaveria, 16 species (C(3), C(4), intermediates [C(3)-C(4), C(4)-like]) were analyzed, novel anatomical and vein pattern characters were analyzed and key anatomical differences among photosynthetic groups were highlighted. A stepwise acquisition of anatomical and vein pattern traits prior to derived biochemistry was outlined on the basis of the phylogeny of Flaveria. Increased vein density represents a potential "precondition" contributing to lower ratios of photosynthetic tissues (mesophyll, bundle sheath) and precedes further anatomical and biochemical modifications observed in derived C(3)-C(4) intermediates. In derived Flaveria species, bundle sheath volume is modified through cell expansion, whereas mesophyll volume is altered through mesophyll cell expansion, reductions in the number of ground tissue layers, and increased vein density. Results demonstrated that key anatomical features of C(4) plants are also required for C(3)-C(4) biochemical intermediacy, and anatomical and biochemical alterations acquired during evolution of intermediacy may predispose a species for evolution of C(4) photosynthesis. C(4)-like species are similar to C(4) species, demonstrating that Kranz anatomy is fully evolved before complete C(4) biochemistry is achieved. 相似文献

Leaf anatomy was studied by light and electron microscopy and the leaf activities of RUBP carboxylase, PEP carboxylase, and malic enzyme were assayed in: Salsola australis and S. oreophila grown on the West Pamirs at 1800 m altitude; in S. australis grown on the East Pamirs at 3860 m; and in S. arbusculiformis grown in the Kisil-Kum desert in Middle Asia near 500 m. Carbon isotope fractionation ratio values also were measured on whole leaf tissue for 18 Salsola species field collected in these and other regions of the former USSR. S. australis leaves are cylindrical and in cross section exhibit a peripheral ring of mesophyll and then an inner ring of bundle sheath type cells; and its biochemical characteristics and deltaC values are typical of a C4 species of the NADP-malic enzyme malate-forming group. These traits were expressed independent of the plant growth altitude up to 4000 m. C4 type deltaC values were obtained in 14 of the Salsola species. Anatomical, structural, and biochemical features typical of the C4 syndrome were absent in S. oreophila and S. arbusculiformis. Four Salsola species, including these two, had C3-type deltaC values. Their cylindrical leaves in cross section exhibited two to three peripheral rings as layers of palisade parenchyma. Although their vascular bundles were surrounded by green bundle sheath cells, their organelle numbers were comparable to those in mesophyll cells. Neither bundle sheath cell wall thickenings nor dimorphic chloroplasts in two leaf cell types were observed. In S. oreophila, there was a high activity of RuBP carboxylase, but a low activity of C4 cycle enzymes. Interpretation of these data lends evidence to the hypothesis that a small group of C3 Salsola species, including S. oreophila, S. arbusculiformis, S. montana, and S. pachyphylla, arose as the result of a reversion of a C4 to a C3 type of photosynthetic CO2 fixation in the cooler climates of Middle Asia. 相似文献

Most species of the genus Salsola (Chenopodiaceae) that have been examined exhibit C4 photosynthesis in leaves. Four Salsola species from Central Asia were investigated in this study to determine the structural and functional relationships in photosynthesis of cotyledons compared to leaves, using anatomical (Kranz versus non-Kranz anatomy, chloroplast ultrastructure) and biochemical (activities of photosynthetic enzymes of the C3 and C4 pathways, 14C labeling of primary photosynthesis products and 13C/12C carbon isotope fractionation) criteria. The species included S. paulsenii from section Salsola, S. richteri from section Coccosalsola, S. laricina from section Caroxylon, and S. gemmascens from section Malpigipila. The results show that all four species have a C4 type of photosynthesis in leaves with a Salsoloid type Kranz anatomy, whereas both C3 and C4 types of photosynthesis were found in cotyledons. S. paulsenii and S. richteri have NADP- (NADP-ME) C4 type biochemistry with Salsoloid Kranz anatomy in both leaves and cotyledons. In S. laricina, both cotyledons and leaves have NAD-malic enzyme (NAD-ME) C4 type photosynthesis; however, while the leaves have Salsoloid type Kranz anatomy, cotyledons have Atriplicoid type Kranz anatomy. In S. gemmascens, cotyledons exhibit C3 type photosynthesis, while leaves perform NAD-ME type photosynthesis. Since the four species studied belong to different Salsola sections, this suggests that differences in photosynthetic types of leaves and cotyledons may be used as a basis or studies of the origin and evolution of C4 photosynthesis in the family Chenopodiaceae.This revised version was published online in October 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date. 相似文献

In C4 grasses belonging to the NADP-malic enzyme-type subgroup, malate is considered to be the predominant C4 acid metabolized during C4 photosynthesis, and the bundle sheath cell chloroplasts contain very little photosystem-II (PSII) activity. The present studies showed that Flaveria bidentis (L.), an NADP-malic enzyme-type C4 dicotyledon, had substantial PSII activity in bundle sheath cells and that malate and aspartate apparently contributed about equally to the transfer of CO2 to bundle sheath cells. Preparations of bundle sheath cells and chloroplasts isolated from these cells evolved O2 at rates between 1.5 and 2 mol · min–1 · mg–1 chlorophyll (Chl) in the light in response to adding either 3-phosphoglycerate plus HCO

or aspartate plus 2-oxoglutarate. Rates of more than 2 mol O2 · min–1 · mg–1 Chl were recorded for cells provided with both sets of these substrates. With bundle sheath cell preparations the maximum rates of light-dependent CO2 fixation and malate decarboxylation to pyruvate recorded were about 1.7 mol · min–1 · mg–1 Chl. Compared with NADP-malic enzyme-type grass species, F. bidentis bundle sheath cells contained much higher activities of NADP-malate dehydrogenase and of aspartate and alanine aminotransferases. Time-course and pulse-chase studies following the kinetics of radiolabelling of the C-4 carboxyl of C4 acids from 14CO2 indicated that the photosynthetically active pool of malate was about twice the size of the aspartate pool. However, there was strong evidence for a rapid flux of carbon through both these pools. Possible routes of aspartate metabolism and the relationship between this metabolism and PSII activity in bundle sheath cells are considered.Abbreviations DHAP

On the mechanism of C4 photosynthesis intermediate exchange between Kranz mesophyll and bundle sheath cells in grasses 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
C4 photosynthesis involves cell-to-cell exchange of photosyntheticintermediates between the Kranz mesophyll (KMS) and bundle sheath(BS) cells. This was believed to occur by simple diffusion throughplentiful plasmodesmatal (PD) connections between these celltypes. The model of C4 intermediates transport was elaboratedover 30 years ago and was based on experimental data derivedfrom measurements at the time. The model assumed that plasmodesmataoccupied about 3% of the interface between the KMS and BS cellsand that the plasmodesmata structure did not restrict metabolitemovement. Recent advances in the knowledge of plasmodesmatalstructure put these assumptions into doubt, so a new model ispresented here taking the new anatomical details into account.If one assumes simple diffusion as the sole driving force, thencalculations based on the experimental data obtained for C4grasses show that the gradients expected of C4 intermediatesbetween KMS and BS cells are about three orders of magnitudehigher than experimentally estimated. In addition, if one takesinto account that the plasmodesmata microchannel diameter mightconstrict the movement of C4 intermediates of comparable Stokesradii, the differences in concentration of photosynthetic intermediatesbetween KMS and BS cells should be further increased. We believethat simple diffusion-driven transport of C4 intermediates betweenKMS and BS cells through the plasmodesmatal microchannels isnot adequate to explain the C4 metabolite exchange during C4photosynthesis. Alternative mechanisms are proposed, involvingthe participation of desmotubule and/or active mechanisms aseither apoplasmic or vesicular transport.

The temperature response of C(3) and C(4) photosynthesis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We review the current understanding of the temperature responses of C(3) and C(4) photosynthesis across thermal ranges that do not harm the photosynthetic apparatus. In C(3) species, photosynthesis is classically considered to be limited by the capacities of ribulose 1.5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) regeneration or P(i) regeneration. Using both theoretical and empirical evidence, we describe the temperature response of instantaneous net CO(2) assimilation rate (A) in terms of these limitations, and evaluate possible limitations on A at elevated temperatures arising from heat-induced lability of Rubisco activase. In C(3) plants, Rubisco capacity is the predominant limitation on A across a wide range of temperatures at low CO(2) (<300 microbar), while at elevated CO(2), the limitation shifts to P(i) regeneration capacity at suboptimal temperatures, and either electron transport capacity or Rubisco activase capacity at supraoptimal temperatures. In C(4) plants, Rubisco capacity limits A below 20 degrees C in chilling-tolerant species, but the control over A at elevated temperature remains uncertain. Acclimation of C(3) photosynthesis to suboptimal growth temperature is commonly associated with a disproportional enhancement of the P(i) regeneration capacity. Above the thermal optimum, acclimation of A to increasing growth temperature is associated with increased electron transport capacity and/or greater heat stability of Rubisco activase. In many C(4) species from warm habitats, acclimation to cooler growth conditions increases levels of Rubisco and C(4) cycle enzymes which then enhance A below the thermal optimum. By contrast, few C(4) species adapted to cooler habitats increase Rubisco content during acclimation to reduced growth temperature; as a result, A changes little at suboptimal temperatures. Global change is likely to cause a widespread shift in patterns of photosynthetic limitation in higher plants. Limitations in electron transport and Rubisco activase capacity should be more common in the warmer, high CO(2) conditions expected by the end of the century. 相似文献

Linkage analyses increasingly complement cytological and traditional plant breeding techniques by providing valuable information regarding genome organization and transmission genetics of complex polyploid species. This study reports a genome map of buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link syn. Cenchrus ciliaris L.). Maternal and paternal maps were constructed with restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) segregating in 87 F1 progeny from an intraspecific cross between two heterozygous genotypes. A survey of 862 heterologous cDNAs and gDNAs from across the Poaceae, as well as 443 buffelgrass cDNAs, yielded 100 and 360 polymorphic probes, respectively. The maternal map included 322 RFLPs, 47 linkage groups, and 3464 cM, whereas the paternal map contained 245 RFLPs, 42 linkage groups, and 2757 cM. Approximately 70 to 80% of the buffelgrass genome was covered, and the average marker spacing was 10.8 and 11.3 cM on the respective maps. Preferential pairing was indicated between many linkage groups, which supports cytological reports that buffelgrass is a segmental allotetraploid. More preferential pairing (disomy) was found in the maternal than paternal parent across linkage groups (55 vs. 38%) and loci (48 vs. 15%). Comparison of interval lengths in 15 allelic bridges indicated significantly less meiotic recombination in paternal gametes. Allelic interactions were detected in four regions of the maternal map and were absent in the paternal map. 相似文献

C (4) species of family Chenopodiaceae, subfamily Suaedoideae have two types of Kranz anatomy in genus Suaeda, sections Salsina and Schoberia, both of which have an outer (palisade mesophyll) and an inner (Kranz) layer of chlorenchyma cells in usually semi-terete leaves. Features of Salsina (S. AEGYPTIACA, S. arcuata, S. taxifolia) and Schoberia type (S. acuminata, S. Eltonica, S. cochlearifoliA) were compared to C (3) type S. Heterophylla. In Salsina type, two layers of chlorenchyma at the leaf periphery surround water-storage tissue in which the vascular bundles are embedded. In leaves of the Schoberia type, enlarged water-storage hypodermal cells surround two layers of chlorenchyma tissue, with the latter surrounding the vascular bundles. The chloroplasts in Kranz cells are located in the centripetal position in Salsina type and in the centrifugal position in the Schoberia type. Western blots on C (4) acid decarboxylases show that both Kranz forms are NAD-malic enzyme (NAD-ME) type C (4) species. Transmission electron microscopy shows that mesophyll cells have chloroplasts with reduced grana, while Kranz cells have chloroplasts with well-developed grana and large, specialized mitochondria, characteristic of NAD-ME type C (4) chenopods. In both C (4) types, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase is localized in the palisade mesophyll, and Rubisco and mitochondrial NAD-ME are localized in Kranz cells, where starch is mainly stored. The C (3) species S. heterophylla has Brezia type isolateral leaf structure, with several layers of Rubisco-containing chlorenchyma. Photosynthetic response curves to varying CO (2) and light in the Schoberia Type and Salsina type species were similar, and typical of C (4) plants. The results indicate that two structural forms of Kranz anatomy evolved in parallel in species of subfamily Suaedoideae having NAD-ME type C (4) photosynthesis. 相似文献

In the C4 plant, Amaranthus graecizans, increasing [O2] from 2% up to 100% inhibited photosynthesis, quantum yield, and the carboxylation efficiency, and increased the CO2 compensation point () from 2 to about 12 l/l. The O2 inhibition of photosynthesis was fully reversible. When changing from 2.5 to 40% O2 and vice versa, about 1 h was required for full equilibration with an O2 inhibition of 18%; whereas in wheat, a C3 species, inhibition of photosynthesis and its reversal occurs within minutes after changing [O2], resulting in 63% inhibition of photosynthesis by 45% O2. These differences in O2 inhibition between a C4 and C3 species can be explained by high diffusive resistance across bundle-sheath cells of C4 plants and the increased CO2/O2 ratio in bundle-sheath cells which is the consequence of the C4 cycle. In A. graecizans, increased with increasing [O2] but tended to reach a maximum at relatively high O2 levels. The lack of a linear increase in as previously observed for C3 species indicates that a considerable amount of photorespired CO2 may be re-fixed with increasing levels of O2. In comparison to previous reports with other C4 species, photosynthesis of A. graecizans shows greater sensitivity to O2, with a noticeable inhibition occurring with shifts from 2 to 21% O2. A. graecizans has characteristics of other C4 species with respect to Kranz anatomy, localization of PEP carboxylase in mesophyll cells and RuBP carboxylase in bundle-sheath cells, and little fractionation among carbon isotopes during CO2 fixation. The basis for the higher sensitivity of photosynthesis of A. graecizans to O2 may be based upon a lower diffusive resistance of gases across bundle-sheath cells than in some other C4 species.Abbreviations CE

Climate change and the evolution of C(4) photosynthesis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Plants assimilate carbon by one of three photosynthetic pathways, commonly called the C(3), C(4), and CAM pathways. The C(4) photosynthetic pathway, found only among the angiosperms, represents a modification of C(3) metabolism that is most effective at low concentrations of CO(2). Today, C(4) plants are most common in hot, open ecosystems, and it is commonly felt that they evolved under these conditions. However, high light and high temperature, by themselves, are not sufficient to favor the evolution of C(4) photosynthesis at atmospheric CO(2) levels significantly above the current ambient values. A review of evidence suggests that C(4) plants evolved in response to a reduction in atmospheric CO(2) levels that began during the Cretaceous and continued until the Miocene. 相似文献

Low-night temperature (LNT) induced changes of photosynthesis in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) plants. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Changes of leaf pigments, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBPC) and photosynthetic efficiency were examined in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) plants grown under ambient irradiation (maximum daily PAR = 1500 micromol m(-2) s(-1)) for 7 days to low night temperature (LNT) of 5 degrees C (daily from 18:00 to 06:00). The contents of chlorophyll (Chl) and carotenoids (Car) per fresh mass were lower in LNT leaves than in control leaves. The contents of alpha + beta carotene and lutein-5,6-epoxide remained unaffected, but the de-epoxidation state involving the components of xanthophyll cycle increased. RuBPC activity and soluble proteins were also significantly reduced in LNT leaves. In isolated thylakoids, a marked inhibition of whole chain (PS I + PS II) and PS II activity were observed in LNT leaves. Smaller inhibition of PS I activity was observed in LNT leaves. The artificial exogenous electron donors, MnCl2, DPC and NH2OH did not restored the loss of PS II activity in LNT leaves. The same results were obtained when F(v)/F(m) was evaluated by Chl fluorescence measurements. The marked loss of PS II activity in LNT leaves was due to the marked loss of D1 protein which was determined by immunological studies. 相似文献
