Programmed cell death (PCD) is involved in plant development and pathogen defence and can be triggered in vitro by several biotic and abiotic stimuli. In this report ( β - d -galactosyl)3 Yariv reagent, a chemical that specifically binds to arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs), completely inhibited cell growth and induced PCD in tobacco BY-2 suspension cultured cells. Analysis of DNA from these cells, by agarose gel electrophoresis, revealed a DNA ladder consisting of multimers of 140–170 bp, similar to apoptotic animal DNA internucleosomal fragmentation. Complementary morphological studies revealed additional PCD characteristics in the Yariv-treated BY-2 cells, including cell shrinkage and cytoplasmic condensation. These studies demonstrate the usefulness of BY-2 cells as a model plant PCD system and confirm a link between AGPs and PCD. 相似文献

Induction of cell death in arabidopsis by superoxide in combination with salicylic acid or with protein synthesis inhibitors 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Induction of programmed cell death (PCD) by oxidative stress is a widespread phenomenon in all living organisms. The degree of cell death depends on the concentration of oxidants and on environmental and physiological conditions. In plants, generation of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) occurs during many biotic and abiotic stresses. Recently, a number of spontaneous cell death mutants have been isolated in Arabidopsis. In one of the mutants (lsd1) induction of PCD has been attributed to superoxide (O(2)(*)(-)). Here we show that while in wild type plants generation of superoxide is symptomless, combination of O(2)(*)(-) with salicylic acid or with inhibitors of protein synthesis induced PCD. Cell death induced by these treatments was suppressed by protease inhibitors, indicating an active response. PCD induced by both treatments was preceded by nuclear condensation, which is a hallmark of apoptosis in plants and animals. These results may explain increased sensitivity to oxidative stress under certain physiological conditions, associated with high levels of salicylic acid or decrease in protein synthesis. 相似文献

Programmed cell death in cell cultures 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21
In plants most instances of programmed cell death (PCD) occur in a number of related, or neighbouring, cells in specific tissues. However, recent research with plant cell cultures has demonstrated that PCD can be induced in single cells. The uniformity, accessibility and reduced complexity of cell cultures make them ideal research tools to investigate the regulation of PCD in plants. PCD has now been induced in cell cultures from a wide range of species including many of the so-called model species. We will discuss the establishment of cell cultures, the fractionation of single cells and isolation of protoplasts, and consider the characteristic features of PCD in cultured cells. We will review the wide range of methods to induce cell death in cell cultures ranging from abiotic stress, absence of survival signals, manipulation of signal pathway intermediates, through the induction of defence-related PCD and developmentally induced cell death. 相似文献

Programmed cell death (PCD) has been recognized as a fundamental cellular process conserved in metazoans, plants and yeast. However, the cellular mechanisms leading to PCD have not been fully elucidated in unicellular organisms. Evidence is presented that heat stress induces PCD in Chlorella saccharophila cells. Our results demonstrate that heat shock triggers a PCD pathway occurring with characteristics features such as chromatin condensation, DNA fragmentation, cell shrinkage and detachment of the plasma membrane from the cell wall, and suggest the presence of caspase 3-like activity. The caspase 3 inhibitor Ac-DEVD-CHO gave significant protection against heat shock-induced cell death. Moreover, a reduction in photosynthetic pigment contents associated with alteration of chloroplast morphology and a fairly rapid disappearance of the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase large subunit and the light-harvesting complex of PSII have been observed. The timing of events in the signaling cascade associated with the C. saccharophila heat shock PCD response is discussed. Insights into this field may have general implications for understanding the pathway of cell death in unicellular green algae. 相似文献

A system in which anthocyanin synthesis could be induced under a defined condition, was established in a carrot suspension culture. A cell suspension culture of carrot ( Daucus carota L. cv. Kurodagosun) was subcultured for more than a year in a medium containing 5 × 10−7 M 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). At every subculture the cultures were sieved through nylon screens and the cells and cell clusters collected in the size range of 31–81 μm were transferred to a fresh medium. When the cells were transferred to a medium without auxin, synthesis of anthocyanin was induced. Zeatin promoted anthocyanin synthesis in a medium lacking auxin, with maximum yields of anthocyanin obtained at 10−7 to 10−8 M zeatin, 2,4-D at higher concentrations than 10−7 M inhibited anthocyanin synthesis completely. The sieved cells were fractionated by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. Somatic embryos were formed in the fraction of higher density (>14% of Ficoll) in a medium containing 10−7 M zeatin but lacking auxin, while synthesis of anthocyanin was hardly observed. On the other hand, cells in the fraction of lower density (<12% of Ficoll) synthesized anthocyanin in the same medium, but formed few embryos. Forty to fifty percent of the total cells in this lighter cell fraction synthesized anthocyanin at a maximum. The similarity between anthocyanin synthesis and embryogenesis was observed in the time course as well as in the effects of growth regulators. The correlation between metabolic and morphological differentiation is discussed. 相似文献

Konno, H., Yamasaki, Y. and Katoh, K. 1987. Purification of an α-L-arabinofurano-sidase from carrot cell cultures and its involvement in arabinose-rich polymer degradation.
An α-L-arabinofuranosidase (α-L-arabinofuranoside arabinofuranohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.55) was isolated from a homogenate of cell suspension cultures of carrot ( Daucus carota L. cv. Kintoki). The buffer-soluble enzyme was purified to homogeneity by a procedure involving ammonium sulfate fractionation, chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50, Sephadex G-150, Con A-Sepharose 4B and CM-Sephadex C-50, and preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The size of this enzyme as determined by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium laurylsulfate and by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration was 94 and 110 kDa, respectively. The isoelectric point was at pH 4.7. The Km and Vmax values for p-nitrophenyl α-L-arabinofuranoside were 1.33 mM and 20.2 μimol (mg protein)-1 h-1 , respectively. The optimal activity occurred at pH 4.2 with Mcllvaine buffer. The enzyme was stimulated by Ca2+ and Zn2+ , whereas it was strongly inhibited by Cu2+ , Ag2+ , Hg2+ , p-chloromercuri-benzoate and L-arabono-l,4-lactone. The enzyme acted on beet arabinan in an exo-fashion. Furthermore, the enzyme was partially involved in the hydrolysis of the ara-binogalactan and pectic polymer purified from carrot cell walls. 相似文献

Extracellular exo-polygalacturonase secreted from carrot cell cultures. Its purification and involvement in pectic polymer degradation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Exo-polygalacturonase (exo-PGase, EC 3.2.1.67) activity has been detected in a culture filtrate of cell suspension cultures of carrot ( Daucus carota L. cv. Kintoki). The extracellular exo-PGase was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity using DEAE-Sephadex A-50 ion-exchange chromatography, Sephadex G-150 gel filtration, and preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was calculated to be 48 kDa from Sephadex G-200 gel filtration, and 50 kDa from sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-PAGE after treatment with SDS and 2-mercaptoethanol. The isoelectric point was at pH 6.2. The Km and Vmax values for polygalacturonate (degree of polymerization: 52) were 14.4 μ M and 25.6 μmol (mg protein)−1 h−1 , respectively. The optimal activity in McIlvaine's buffer occurred at pH 4.6. The enzyme activity was inhibited by Ba2+ , Cu2+ , Mn2+ and Hg2+ . The enzyme was involved in ca 15% hydrolysis of the acidic polymer purified from carrot pectic polysaccharides, and connected with the release of galacturonic acid. Even after an exhaustive reaction the enzyme had, however, little or no effect on cell walls from carrot cell cultures. 相似文献

Zeta potential measurements of cell wall preparations from Regnellidium diphyllum and Nymphoides peltata 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Abstract. Cell wall particles were prepared from the semi-aquatic plants Regnellidium diphyllum and Nymphoides peltata with minimum disruption to the integrity of the cell wall. The behaviour of freshly-prepared and frozen-thawed particles in a D.C. electric field was monitored with a microscope attached to video recording apparatus. From the respective particles mobility in a well-defined electric field. it was possible to determine their electrostatic potential and consequently estimate the corresponding surface charge density. Experiments were performed in media of different pH and cation concentration (ie, K+ Ca2+ ). A significant electronegative potential was found in cell wall preparations of both plants. Freezing and thawing further reduced the electrostatic potential for both plant species in all the media utilized for electrophoresis. A reduction of pH or an increase of the cation concentration was found to neutralize the electrostatic potential in a sigmoidal fashion. Ca2+ was more than 10 times more effective than K+ at neutralizing the apparent electrostatic potential of the cell wall preparations. Regnellidium was found to have a lower electrostatic potential than Nymphoides , although both responded in a similar manner to the various treatments. The possible relevance of the cell wall electrostatic potential, pH and [Ca2+ ] and particularly their inter-relationship is discussed for the two species of plants in terms of their differing growth responses to the ionic environment of the plant. 相似文献

Role of nitric oxide in actin depolymerization and programmed cell death induced by fusicoccin in sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) cultured cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Programmed cell death (PCD) plays a vital role in plant development and is involved in defence mechanisms against biotic and abiotic stresses. Different forms of PCD have been described in plants on the basis of the cell organelle first involved. In sycamore ( Acer pseudoplatanus L.) cultured cells, the phytotoxin fusicoccin (FC) induces cell death. However, only a fraction of the dead cells shows the typical hallmarks of animal apoptosis, including cell shrinkage, chromatin condensation, DNA fragmentation and release of cytochrome c from the mitochondrion. In this work, we show that the scavenging of nitric oxide (NO), produced in the presence of FC, by 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (cPTIO) and rutin inhibits cell death without affecting DNA fragmentation and cytochrome c release. In addition, we show that FC induces a massive depolymerization of actin filaments that is prevented by the NO scavengers. Finally, the addition of actin-depolymerizing drugs induces PCD in control cells and overcomes the inhibiting effect of cPTIO on FC-induced cell death. Vice versa, the addition of actin-stabilizing drugs to FC-treated cells partially inhibits the phytotoxin-induced PCD. These results suggest that besides an apoptotic-like form of PCD involving the release of cytochrome c , FC induces at least another form of cell death, likely mediated by NO and independent of cytochrome c release, and they make it tempting to speculate that changes in actin cytoskeleton are involved in this form of PCD. 相似文献

Five glycosidase activities from cell homogenate of carrot ( Daucus carota L. cv. Kintoki) cell cultures were assayed after extraction successively by phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) and the buffer plus 2 M NaCl. A β-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23) was isolated in a highly purified state from the buffer-soluble protein fraction by ammonium sulfate fractionation and chromatography on CM-Sephadex C-50, DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and Sephadex G-200. The molecular weight of this enzyme was ca 104 000 and the isoelectric point was pH 7.8. The optimal activity occurred at pH 4.4 with McIlvaine buffer. The Km and Vmax values were 1.67 m M and 201 units (mg protein)−1 , respectively, for p -nitrophenyl β- d -galactopyranoside. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by Zn2+ , Cu2+ , Hg2+ and d -galactono-1,4-lactone. The enzyme acted on the β-1,4-linked galactan prepared from citrus pectin in an exo-fashion. Furthermore, the enzyme was slightly involved in the hydrolysis of the pectic polymer and cell walls purified from carrot cell cultures. 相似文献

β-Galactosidase (β-Galase, EC 3.2.1.23) activity has been detected in a culture medium of cell suspension cultures of carrot ( Daucus carota L. cv. Kintoki). The extracellular β-Galase (β-Galase-II) was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from the concentrated medium using ammonium sulfate precipitation, chromatography on CM-Sephadex C-50. DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B and Sephacryl S-200HR, and preparative PAGE. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 65 kDa by Sephacryl S-200HR gel-permeation, and 60 kDa by SDS-PAGE after treatment with SDS and 2-mercaptoethanol. The pI was 6.5. The Km and Vmax values for p -nitrophenyl (PNP)-β-D-galactopyranoside were 0.17 m M and 31.9 μmol (mg protein)-1 , h-1 , respectively. The optimal activity in McIlvaine's buffer occurred at pH 4.0–4.4. The enzyme activity was inhibited by Co24 , Cu2+ , Hg2- , p -chloromercuribenzoate (PCMB) and D-galactono-1,4-lactone. The enzyme acted on citrus galactan and larchwood arabinogalactan in an exo-fashion, and was slightly involved in the hydrolysis of an acidic pectic polymer containing arabinosyl and galactosyl residues and in the breakdown of cell walls isolated from carrot cell cultures. 相似文献

Gibberellic acid (GA3 ) applied at different times during the growth of wild carrot ( Daucus carota ssp. Carota ) cell suspension cultures inhibited anthocyanin accumulation. Application of 3 × 10–6 M GA3 to cultures on day 0 or day 4 gave, respectively, 10 or 35% of anthocyanin accumulation relative to levels occurring when GA3 was applied at the end of the growth period. Endogenous GAs were separated by high pressure liquid chromatography, and identified and quantified by gas chromatography-selected ion monitoring. Gibberellins GA1 , GA3 and traces of GA8 . GA19 and GA20 were identified in carrot cell suspension cultures of both high and low anthocyanin-accumulating clones. The concentrations of GA1 . GA3 and GA8 in the two clones were similar and were not significantly different after the application of uniconazole which promoted anthocyanin accumulation. This suggests that these endogenous GAs are not the sole factors controlling the accumulation of anthocyanin in these different clones. Exogenous GA3 and uniconazole had no effect on 3'-nucleotidase and 5'-nucleotidase activity in the carrot cell suspension cultures. Thus 3'-nucleotidase does not appear to play a role in the inhibition of anthocyanin accumulation by exogenous GA3 . 相似文献

An heuristic hypothesis of chilling injury in plants: a role for calcium as the primary physiological transducer of injury 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
P. V. MINORSKY 《Plant, cell & environment》1985,8(2):75-94
Abstract. It is suggested that increased levels of free cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+ ]cyt ) may serve as the primary physiological transducer of chilling injury in plants. Numerous similarities between the effects of [Ca2+ ]cyt -raising treatments on plants and the effects of chilling temperatures on chilling-sensitive (CS) plants are noted. It is proposed that chilling temperatures may lead to increases in [Ca2+ ]cyt in CS plant cells by reducing the rate at which they exclude Ca2+ from their cytosol and that rapid cooling (coldshock) may cause rapid increases in [Ca2+ ]cyt due to the activation of voltage-dependent cation channels. Chill-induced increases in [Ca2+ ]cyt in the cells of CS plants may reflect either an inherent inability of such plants to maintain homeostatic levels of Ca2+ at low temperatures or a stress-induced reaction which has evolved to enable such cells to cope more effectively with the short-term hardships imposed by cold. Previous proposals concerning the physiological transduction of chilling injury are also discussed. It is argued that there is little evidence to suggest that the immediate effects of low temperatures on CS cells include either decreases in ATP levels, general increases in the passive permeability of membranes, or increased rates of fermentation. 相似文献

The expression of PR-protein b1 ' in plants and cell suspension cultures of Nicotiana glutinosa L., Nicotiana debneyi Domin, and an amphidiploid cross of these two species, a hybrid, has been investigated. An enzyme linked immunosorbent assay has been employed to determine the concentration of PR-protein b1 ' in extracts. The PR-Protein b1 ' was constitutively produced in intact plants of the hybrid (around 25 μg g−1 leaf tissue), while only trace amounts of the protein (< 50 ng g−1 leaf tissue) were found in plants of the two parents. In suspension culture, the concentrations of PR-protein b1 ' were 8, 0.4 and less than 0.1 mg l−1 medium for the hybrid. N. debneyi and N. glutinosa , respectively. Only trace amounts of the protein were found in extracts from cells. Seven days after infection by tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) the concentration of PR-protein b1 ' in leaves of N. glutinosa was 22.5 μg g−1 leaf tissue. In N. debneyi and the hybrid a relatively limited induction of PR-protein b1 ' by TMV was observed. The influence of various phenoxyacetic acids on the expression of PR-protein b1 ' in the 3 cell cultures has been investigated. Cultures of N. glutinosa responded to treatments with 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T while cultures of N. debneyi and the hybrid were essentially unaffected. In the former case a concentration of 5–10 mg l−1 2,4,5-T was optimal and cells were most responsive to the treatment 4 days after subcultivation. The concentration of PR-protein b1 ' in elicited cell cultures of N. glutinosa was 2 to 4 mg l−1 medium. 相似文献

Carbon dioxide induces increases in guard cell cytosolic free calcium 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

The hypothesis that increases in cytosolic free calcium ([Ca2+ ]i ) are a component of the CO2 signal transduction pathway in stomatal guard cells of Commelina communis has been investigated. This hypothesis was tested using fura-2 fluorescence ratio photometry to measure changes in guard cell [Ca2+ ]i in response to challenge with 700 µl l−1 CO2 . Elevated CO2 induced increases in guard cell [Ca2+ ]i which were similar to those previously reported in response to abscisic acid. [Ca2+ ]i returned to resting values following removal of the CO2 and further application of CO2 resulted in a second increase in [Ca2+ ]i . This demonstrated that the CO2 -induced increases in [Ca2+ ]i were stimulus dependent. Removal of extracellular calcium both prevented the CO2 -induced increase in [Ca2+ ]i and inhibited the associated reduction in stomatal aperture. These data suggest that Ca2+ acts as a second messenger in the CO2 signal transduction pathway and that an increase in [Ca2+ ]i may be a requirement for the stomatal response to CO2 . 相似文献

The relationship between the inhibiting effect of Ca2+ and of low turgor pressure on K+ release from fresh-cut discs of carrot ( Daucus carota var. Nantes) storage tissue was studied. A range of Ca2+ concentrations in the tissue was obtained by adding 0.5 m M EDTA or CaSO4 at different concentrations to the medium. Calcium inhibited K+ release in fully turgid cells (2.5 μmol K+ g−1 h−1 in 0.5 m M EDTA vs 0.4 μmol K+ g−1 h−1 in 10 m M CaSO4 ). Less turgid cells, obtained by equilibration with 0.2 M mannitol, released K+ at only 30% of the rate of the turgid cells, yet the pattern of K+ release as a function of Ca2+ level was similar in both turgid and non-turgid cells. Removal of calcium by EDTA occasionally injured cell membranes in the fully turgid discs but never in the less turgid ones. In view of the additive effect of Ca2+ and low turgor on K+ release regardless of the treatment order, it is suggested that the two factors exert their effect on membrane permeability independently of each other. 相似文献

Regulatory volume decrease, following physical swelling of red cells from brown trout Salmo trutta , was almost complete in oxygenated cells but much less in deoxygenated cells. There was a small, insignificant regulatory volume increase, following physical shrinkage. Amiloride had no effect on this response, indicating that hypertonic shrinkage did not activate the Na+ /H+ exchanger. However, cell volume was increased markedly in shrunken cells by addition of noradrenaline, with deoxygenated cells showing complete recovery. These data show that the previously reported differences in volume regulation between the red cells of brown trout and rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss are not present and that both species appear to have lost volume sensitivity of the Na+ /H+ exchanger. 相似文献

Morphological classification of plant cell deaths 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Programmed cell death (PCD) is an integral part of plant development and of responses to abiotic stress or pathogens. Although the morphology of plant PCD is, in some cases, well characterised and molecular mechanisms controlling plant PCD are beginning to emerge, there is still confusion about the classification of PCD in plants. Here we suggest a classification based on morphological criteria. According to this classification, the use of the term 'apoptosis' is not justified in plants, but at least two classes of PCD can be distinguished: vacuolar cell death and necrosis. During vacuolar cell death, the cell contents are removed by a combination of autophagy-like process and release of hydrolases from collapsed lytic vacuoles. Necrosis is characterised by early rupture of the plasma membrane, shrinkage of the protoplast and absence of vacuolar cell death features. Vacuolar cell death is common during tissue and organ formation and elimination, whereas necrosis is typically found under abiotic stress. Some examples of plant PCD cannot be ascribed to either major class and are therefore classified as separate modalities. These are PCD associated with the hypersensitive response to biotrophic pathogens, which can express features of both necrosis and vacuolar cell death, PCD in starchy cereal endosperm and during self-incompatibility. The present classification is not static, but will be subject to further revision, especially when specific biochemical pathways are better defined. 相似文献
