To evaluate oxidative stress and the plant antioxidant system of Alternanthera philoxeroides [Mart.] Griseb and Oryza sativa L. in the response to drought, root and leaf tissues of drought-treated A. philoxeroides and O. sativa were collected and relative water content, stomatal conductance, the concentrations of malondialdehyde, proline and the activities
of superoxide dismutase, peroxidases, catalase and total antioxidative activity investigated. The results showed that drought
treatment had almost no effect on relative water content in A. philoxeroides but reduced relative water content in O. sativa.
A. philoxeroides maintained a greater stomatal conductance than O. sativa under drought stress. In A. philoxeroides levels of lipid peroxidation were lower than in O. sativa and did not change during the experiment. After exposure to drought, concentrations of proline and activities of superoxide
dismutase, peroxidases and catalase in A. philoxeroides were between 10% and 30% higher than in O. sativa, whereas total antioxidative activity in A. philoxeroides was several-fold higher than in O. sativa. 相似文献

Drought stress is the major constraint to rice (Oryza sativa L.) production and yield stability in rainfed ecosystems. Identifying genomic regions contributing to drought resistance
will help to develop rice cultivars suitable for rainfed regions through marker-assisted breeding. Quantitative trait loci
(QTLs) linked to leaf epicuticular wax, physio-morphological and plant production traits under water stress and irrigated
conditions were mapped in a doubled haploid (DH) line population from the cross CT9993-5-10-1-M/IR62266-42-6-2. The DH lines
were subjected to water stress during anthesis. The DH lines showed significant variation for epicuticular wax (EW), physio-morphological
and plant production traits under stress and irrigated conditions. A total of 19 QTLs were identified for the various traits
under drought stress and irrigated conditions in the field, which individually explained 9.6%–65.6% of the phenotypic variation.
A region EM15_10-ME8_4-R1394A-G2132 on chromosome 8 was identified for leaf EW and rate of water loss i.e., time taken to
reach 70% RWC from excised leaves in rice lines subjected to drought stress. A large effect QTL (65.6%) was detected on chromosome
2 for harvest index under stress. QTLs identified for EW, rate of water loss from excised leaves and harvest index under stress
in this study co-located with QTLs linked to shoot and root-related drought resistance traits in these rice lines and might
be useful for rainfed rice improvement. 相似文献

Plant aquaporins are believed to facilitate water transport across cell membranes. However, the relationship between aquaporins
and drought resistance in plants remains unclear. VfPIP1, a putative aquaporin gene, was isolated from Vicia faba leaf epidermis, and its expression was induced by abscisic acid (ABA). Our results indicated that the VfPIP1 protein was
localized in the plasma membrane, and its expression in V. faba was induced by 20% polyethylene glycol 6000. To further understand the function of VfPIP1, we obtained VfPIP1-expressing transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants under the control of the CaMV35S promoter. As compared to the wild-type control plants, the transgenic plants exhibited
a faster growth rate, a lower transpiration rate, and greater drought tolerance. In addition, the stomata of the transgenic
plants closed significantly faster than those of the control plants under ABA or dark treatment. These results suggest that
VfPIP1 expression may improve drought resistance of the transgenic plants by promoting stomatal closure under drought stress. 相似文献

Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) control plant development and response to various stress environments through the
important roles in the regulation of Ca2+ signaling. Thirty-one CDPK genes have been identified in the rice genome by a complete search of the genome based upon HMM profiles. In this study,
the expression of this gene family was analyzed using the Affymetrix rice genome array in three rice cultivars: Minghui 63,
Zhenshan 97, and their hybrid Shanyou 63 independently. Twenty-seven tissues sampled throughout the entire rice life-span
were studied, along with three hormone treatments (GA3, NAA and KT), applied to the seedling at the trefoil stage. All 31
genes were found to be expressed in at least one of the experimental stages studied and revealed diverse expression patterns.
We identified differential expression of the OsCPK genes in the stamen (1 day before flowering), the panicle (at the heading stage), the endosperm (days after pollination)
and also in callus, in all three cultivars. Eight genes, OsCPK2, OsCPK11, OsCPK14, OsCPK22, OsCPK25, OsCPK26, OsCPK27 and OsCPK29 were found dominantly expressed in the panicle and the stamen, and five genes, OsCPK6, OsCPK7, OsCPK12, OsCPK23 and OsCPK31 were up-regulated in the endosperm stage. The OsCPK genes were also found to be regulated in rice seedlings subjected to different hormone treatment conditions, however their
expression were not the same for all varieties. These diverse expression profiles trigger the functional analysis of the CDPK family in rice.

Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins have been implicated in many stress responses of plants. In this report, a LEA
protein gene OsLEA3-1 was identified and over-expressed in rice to test the drought resistance of transgenic lines under the field conditions.
OsLEA3-1 is induced by drought, salt and abscisic acid (ABA), but not by cold stress. The promoter of OsLEA3-1 isolated from the upland rice IRAT109 exhibits strong activity under drought- and salt-stress conditions. Three expression
constructs consisting of the full-length cDNA driven by the drought-inducible promoter of OsLEA3-1 (OsLEA3-H), the CaMV 35S promoter (OsLEA3-S), and the rice Actin1 promoter (OsLEA3-A) were transformed into the drought-sensitive japonica rice Zhonghua 11. Drought resistance pre-screening of T1 families at anthesis stage revealed that the over-expressing families with OsLEA3-S and OsLEA3-H constructs had significantly
higher relative yield (yield under drought stress treatment/yield under normal growth conditions) than the wild type under
drought stress conditions, although a yield penalty existed in T1 families under normal growth conditions. Nine homozygous families, exhibiting over-expression of a single-copy of the transgene
and relatively low yield penalty in the T1 generation, were tested in the field for drought resistance in the T2 and T3 generations and in the PVC pipes for drought tolerance in the T2 generation. Except for two families (transformed with OsLEA3-A), all the other families (transformed with OsLEA3-S and OsLEA3-H
constructs) had higher grain yield than the wild type under drought stress in both the field and the PVC pipes conditions.
No significant yield penalty was detected for these T2 and T3 families. These results indicate that transgenic rice with significantly enhanced drought resistance and without yield penalty
can be generated by over-expressing OsLEA3-1 gene with appropriate promoters and following a bipartite (stress and non-stress) in-field screening protocol. 相似文献

Members of the YABBY gene family have a general role that promotes abaxial cell fate in a model eudicot, Arabidopsis thaliana. To understand the function of YABBY genes in monocots, we have isolated all YABBY genes in Oryza sativa (rice), and revealed the spatial and temporal expression pattern of one of these genes, OsYABBY1. In rice, eight YABBY genes constitute a small gene family and are classified into four groups according to sequence similarity, exon-intron structure, and organ-specific expression patterns. OsYABBY1 shows unique spatial expression patterns that have not previously been reported for other YABBY genes, so far. OsYABBY1 is expressed in putative precursor cells of both the mestome sheath in the large vascular bundle and the abaxial sclerenchyma in the leaves. In the flower, OsYABBY1 is specifically expressed in the palea and lemma from their inception, and is confined to several cell layers of these organs in the later developmental stages. The OsYABBY1-expressing domains are closely associated with cells that subsequently differentiate into sclerenchymatous cells. These findings suggest that the function of OsYABBY1 is involved in regulating the differentiation of a few specific cell types and is unrelated to polar regulation of lateral organ development. 相似文献

The maT clade of transposons is a group of transposable elements intermediate in sequence and predicted protein structure to mariner and Tc transposons, with a distribution thus far limited to a few invertebrate species. We present evidence, based on searches of publicly available databases, that the nematode Caenorhabditis briggsae has several maT-like transposons, which we have designated as CbmaT elements, dispersed throughout its genome. We also describe two additional transposon sequences that probably share their evolutionary history with the CbmaT transposons. One resembles a fold back variant of a CbmaT element, with long (380-bp) inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) that show a high degree (71%) of identity to CbmaT1. The other, which shares only the 26-bp ITR sequences with one of the CbmaT variants, is present in eight nearly identical copies, but does not have a transposase gene and may therefore be cross mobilised by a CbmaT transposase. Using PCR-based mobility assays, we show that CbmaT1 transposons are capable of excising from the C. briggsae genome. CbmaT1 excised approximately 500 times less frequently than Tcb1 in the reference strain AF16, but both CbmaT1 and Tcb1 excised at extremely high frequencies in the HK105 strain. The HK105 strain also exhibited a high frequency of spontaneous induction of unc-22 mutants, suggesting that it may be a mutator strain of C. briggsae. 相似文献

The SNAP25-type proteins belong to the superfamily of the SNAREs (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors), and function as important components of the vesical trafficking machinery in eukaryotic cells. In this paper, we report the cloning and expression characterization of OsSNAP32 gene, and the subcellular localization of its encoded protein. The OsSNAP32 gene contains five exons and four introns, and is located between RFLP markers C12276S and S1917 on chromosome 2 in rice. The OsSNAP32 has a molecular weight of 31.3 kD, comprises 283 amino acid residues, and contains Qb-SNARE and Qc-SNARE domains in the N- and C-terminal, respectively. Multiple sequence alignment of the SNARE domains indicates that OsSNAP32 protein is homologous to HvSNAP34 and HvSNAP28 (63% and 55% of amino acid identity respectively) from barley. The transient expression method in onion epidermal cells, revealed that OsSNAP32 is located in the plasma membrane, like other SNAP25-type proteins. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR assay showed that the OsSNAP32 is highly expressed in leaves and culms, and low in roots of rice, while hardly detected in immature spikes and flowering spikes. The expression of OsSNAP32 was significantly activated in rice seedlings treated with H2O2, PEG6000, and low temperature or after inoculation with rice blast (Magnaporthe grisea strain Hoku 1). The results suggest that this gene belongs to a novel member of this gene family encoding SNAP25-type proteins, involved in the rice responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. 相似文献

Laccases have numerous biotechnological applications, among them food processing. The widespread use of laccases has increased the demand for an inexpensive and safe source of recombinant enzyme. We explored the use of a rice-based system for the production of two fungal laccases derived from the ascomycete Melanocarpus albomyces and the basidiomycete Pycnoporus cinnabarinus. High-expression levels of active recombinant laccases were achieved by targeting expression to the endosperm of rice seeds. The laccase cDNAs were fused to a plant-derived signal sequence for targeting to the secretory pathway, and placed under the control of a constitutive seed-specific promoter fused to an intron for enhanced expression. This construct enabled the recovery of on average 0.1-1% of soluble laccase in total soluble proteins (TSP). The highest yields of recombinant laccases obtained in rice seeds were 13 and 39 ppm for riceMaL and ricePycL, respectively. The rice-produced laccases were purified and characterized. The wild-type and the recombinant proteins showed similar biochemical features in terms of molecular mass, pI, temperature and optimal pH and the N-terminus was correctly processed. Although presenting lower kinetic parameters, the rice-produced laccases were also suitable for the oxidative cross-linking of a food model substrate [maize-bran feruloylated arabinoxylans (AX)]. 相似文献

The effect of inactivation of the PPX1 and PPN1 genes encoding the yeast exopolyphosphatases on the activities of these enzymes and polyphosphate content in the cytosol of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied under Pi deficit and Pi excess in the cultivation medium. Under Pi deficit, exopolyphosphatase activity in strain CRN (with inactivated PPN1 gene) and in the parent strain CRY increased 3- and 1.5-fold, respectively. In the strain CRX (with inactivated PPX1 gene), exopolyphosphatase activity did not change under Pi deficit. Transfer from Pi-deficient to Pi-rich medium was accompanied by an ~1.7-fold increase of exopolyphosphatase activities in the cytosol preparations of strains CRY, CRX, and CRN. In the cytosol of the double mutant, exopolyphosphatase activity was practically absent under all of the above cultivation conditions. The content of polyphosphates in the cytosol preparations of all strains under study substantially decreased under Pi deficit. Transfer from Pi-deficient to Pi-rich medium was accompanied by polyphosphate over-accumulation only in the cytosol preparations of stains CRX and CNX, where their levels increased ~1.3 and 3.5-fold, respectively. No over-accumulation was observed in the parent strain CRY and in the PPN1-deficient strain CRN. These data suggest that the exopolyphosphatases encoded by the PPX1 and PPN1 genes are not involved in polyphosphate synthesis. 相似文献

The effects of Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis) carrying cry1AC derived from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) on leaf bacterial community were examined by analyzing the horizontal transfer of trans-gene fragments from plants to
bacteria. The effect of plant pathogenic bacteria on the gene transfer was also examined using Pseudomonas syringae pathovar. maculicola. The frequency of hygromycin-resistant bacteria did not alter in Bt leaves, though slight increase was observed in Pseudomonas-infected Bt leaves with no statistical significance. The analysis of bacterial community profiles using the denaturing gradient
gel electrophoresis (DGGE) fingerprinting indicated that there were slight differences between Bt and control Chinese cabbage,
and also that infected tissues were dominated by P. syringae pv. maculicola. However, the cultured bacterial pools were not found to contain any transgene fragments. Thus, no direct evidence of immediate
gene transfer from plant to bacteria or acquisition of hygromycin resistance could be observed. Still, long-term monitoring
on the possibility of gene transfer is necessary to correctly assess the environmental effects of the Bt crop on bacteria. 相似文献

NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME, EC 1.1.1.40) functions in many different pathways in plant and may be involved in plant defense
such as wound and UV-B radiation. Here, expression of the gene encoding cytosolic NADP-ME (cytoNADP-ME, GenBank Accession No. AY444338) in rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings was induced by salt stress (NaCl). NADP-ME activities in leaves and roots of rice also increased in response
to NaCl. Transgenic Arabidopsis plants over-expressing rice cytoNADP-ME had a greater salt tolerance at the seedling stage than wild-type plants in MS medium-supplemented with different levels
of NaCl. Cytosolic NADPH/NADP+ concentration ratio of transgenic plants was higher than those of wild-type plants. These results suggest that rice cytoNADP-ME confers salt tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis seedlings. 相似文献

HrpN, a protein produced by the plant pathogenic bacterium Erwinia amylovora, has been shown to stimulate plant growth and resistance to pathogens and insects. Here we report that HrpN activates abscisic acid (ABA) signalling to induce drought tolerance (DT) in Arabidopsis thaliana L. plants grown with water stress. Spraying wild-type plants with HrpN-promoted stomatal closure decreased leaf transpiration rate, increased moisture and proline levels in leaves, and alleviated extents of damage to cell membranes and plant drought symptoms caused by water deficiency. In plants treated with HrpN, ABA levels increased; expression of several ABA-signalling regulatory genes and the important effector gene rd29B was induced or enhanced. Induced expression of rd29B, promotion of stomatal closure, and reduction in drought severity were observed in the abi1-1 mutant, which has a defect in the phosphatase ABI1, after HrpN was applied. In contrast, HrpN failed to induce these responses in the abi2-1 mutant, which is impaired in the phosphatase ABI2. Inhibiting wild-type plants to synthesize ABA eliminated the role of HrpN in promoting stomatal closure and reducing drought severity. Moreover, resistance to Pseudomonas syringae developed in abi2-1 as in wild-type plants following treatment with HrpN. Thus, an ABI2-dependent ABA signalling pathway is responsible for the induction of DT but does not affect pathogen defence under the circumstances of this study.Hong-Ping Dong and Haiqin Yu contributed equally to this study and are regarded as joint first authors. 相似文献

In behavioural experiments and histological investigations we could demonstrate that the previously widespread generalization
that females of the social parasite genus Bombus subgenus Psithyrus do not possess wax glands is not justified. Wax pieces that accumulated on the abdomina of Bombus vestalis, B. sylvestris, and B. bohemicus females which were prevented from self-grooming provided the first evidence for wax production in these species. A histological
analysis of epithelial tissues confirmed the existence of epithelial wax glands.
