Effects on growth, mostly of an inhibitory nature, have been attributed to phenolic compounds in vivo and in vitro. This
suggests that l-α-aminooxy-β-phenylpropionic acid (l-AOPP), a competitive inhibitor of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), the enzyme controlling the first step in phenylpropanoid
synthesis, might stimulate growth in soybean suspension cultures (Glycine max, cv. Acme). The promotive effect of l-AOPP, measured as an increase in cell number, was more clearly detected in the growth-limiting condition of cytokinin starvation.
At least one more cell division cycle was completed in the presence of l-AOPP before growth by division ceased and growth continued by expansion only. Phenolic acids are known to conjugate with
polyamines, modulating the free levels of these plant growth substances. Thus, the effect of l-AOPP on the titers of free and conjugated polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, and spermine) was investigated by high performance
liquid chromatography in the course of cytokinin starvation. An increased level of free putrescine was detected in the presence
of l-AOPP relative to controls, especially in the initial period before growth became restricted to cell expansion. The decrease
in free putrescine associated with the cessation of cell division was temporarily delayed, suggesting that an interaction
between phenolic acids and polyamines is involved in the mechanism of growth promotion by l-AOPP.

Treatment of normal and Agrobacterium rhizogenes-transformed root cultures of Hyoscyamus muticus with three different auxins, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), and naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), revealed
that the response varied considerably among auxins, between transformed and normal roots, and depending on the parameter.
In normal roots all three auxins provoked abundant branching, with IBA and NAA being the most effective at 2.5 and 0.5 μm, respectively, whereas IAA was most effective at low concentrations (0.05 and 0.1 μm). In transformed roots exogenously supplied auxins were generally inhibitory or, at best, without effect on growth and branching.
Only 0.01 μm IAA significantly enhanced lateral root number, whereas at the higher concentrations IBA, although inhibitory, was the least
effective auxin. In both root types IBA had little effect on primary root growth, but normal roots were more sensitive to
IAA and NAA. These results suggest a different sensitivity to auxins of normal and transformed roots since there was no significant
difference in endogenous free and conjugated IAA content nor in IAA uptake capacity. Ethylene production and biosynthesis
were approximately threefold higher in hairy roots, but production could be stimulated up to tenfold that of control levels
in normal roots by supplying NAA or 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC). Treatment with 2.5 μm NAA, but not IAA or IBA, also enhanced ethylene biosynthesis in normal roots but not in transformed ones. ACC and malonyl-1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic
acid accumulated to detectable levels only after treatment with an auxin (NAA).

1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 6-benzyladenine (BA) were required for in vitro callus formation at the basal edge of
kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa [A. Chev] Liang and Ferguson, cv. Hayward) petioles. The uptake, metabolism, and concentration of NAA and indole-3-acetic
acid (IAA) content were examined in the explants during the callus initiation period. After 1, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 96 h of
culture in the presence of [H3]NAA, petioles were divided into apical, middle, and basal portions and analyzed. Except for a high IAA level measured at
12 h, IAA content decreased in tissues during a culture period of 96 h. NAA uptake was higher in petiolar edges than in the
middle portion, and NAA was rapidly conjugated with sugars and aspartic acid inside the tissues. The amide conjugation was
triggered in apical and basal portions from 12 h and in the middle part from 48 h, with α-naphthylacetylaspartic acid being
the major metabolite. Free-NAA concentration in cultured petioles achieved an equilibrium with the exogenously applied NAA
(0.27 μm) from 12 h, and it remained constant thereafter. The relationships between the role attributed to NAA and BA in the initiation
and the maintenance of disorganized growth of callus in kiwifruit cultures are discussed.

Cinch is a morphogenetically active herbicide that inhibits primary root growth and induces abnormal ``nodule-like' lateral
roots on Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings. Using 200 nm Cinch, the early stages of lateral root formation occurred along the apical half of the root axis; but once emerged, they
were inhibited from further growth. Second-order lateral roots formed at the base of stunted first-order lateral roots after
5 days of Cinch treatment. Results from Cinch experiments suggested that pericycle cells are determined in the meristem to
be potential sites of lateral root formation, and the developmental transition point between emerged lateral roots and subsequent
growth is inhibited. Results using 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid suggest that Cinch is not
a chemical analog of auxin.

We examined the effects of a sulfonylurea herbicide, chlorsulfuron, which is known as a potent inhibitor of plant cell division,
on morphogenetic cell division and disorganized cell division using the culture system of multiple shoot primordia and callus
of Passiflora edulis. The multiple shoot primordia tissue treated with chlorsulfuron failed to achieve shoot morphogenesis, and a large part of
the tissue was necrotized during the posttreatment culture, even when it was washed and transferred to chlorsulfuron-free
medium. The inhibition of Passiflora shoot morphogenesis by chlorsulfuron was not reversed by the simultaneous addition of branched amino acids, which are known
to reverse the inhibitory effect of chlorsulfuron. In contrast, the same treatment of chlorsulfuron on the callus did not
kill the cells, although the growth resumption was retarded by a prolonged lag period. The addition of branched amino acids
enhanced the recovery growth of the chlorsulfuron-treated callus. These results suggest that the inhibition of disorganized
cell division (callus growth) by chlorsulfuron is reversible, whereas morphogenetic cell division (shoot morphogenesis), which
is under complex regulation, is inhibited irreversibly by chlorsulfuron. Qualitative differences between morphogenetic cell
division and disordered simple proliferative cell division are discussed.

The effects of four exogenous amino acids (proline, glycine, asparagine and serine) on the production of maize embryogenic callus and on its endogenous amino acid content have been investigated. For this purpose, an established embryogenic line of Type 1 callus from the inbred W64Ao2 has been used. From the results it may be concluded that a concentration of proline exceeding 6 mM is negative for the production of embryogenic callus. When proline is eliminated from the medium, other amino acids tested in certain concentrations yield a percentage of embryogenic callus production that exceeds or equals that of proline. The endogenous free proline content in embryogenic callus is significantly higher than that in non-embryogenic callus regardless of proline presence in the medium. The only exception are the glycine-containing media, in which endogenous free alanine of embryogenic callus increases at the expense of endogenous free proline. This study suggest a positive role of endogenous free proline or alanine accumulation in the embryogenic callus production which might be related to an adaptation to the metabolic changes produced by in vitro culture and embryogenesis induction. Furthermore, these results indicate that treatments with amino acids that are different from proline can be used to improve the efficiency of embryogenic callus production from well established maize callus cultures.Abbreviations Ala

System y+L is a broad-scope amino acid transporter which binds and translocates cationic and neutral amino acids. Na+ replacement with K+ does not affect lysine transport, but markedly decreases the affinity of the transporter for l-leucine and l-glutamine. This observation suggests that the specificity of system y+L varies depending on the ionic composition of the medium. Here we have studied the interaction of the carrier with various
amino acids in the presence of Na+, K+, Li+ and guanidinium ion. In agreement with the prediction, the specificity of system y+L was altered by the monovalent cations. In the presence of Na+, l-leucine was the neutral amino acid that interacted more powerfully. Elongation of the side chain (glycine - l-norleucine) strengthened binding. In contrast, bulkiness at the level of the β carbon was detrimental. In K+, the carrier behaved as a cationic amino acid specific carrier, interacting weakly with neutral amino acids. Li+ was found to potentiate neutral amino acid binding and in general the apparent affinities were higher than in Na+; elongation of the nonpolar side chain made a more important contribution to binding and the carrier was more tolerant towards
β carbon substitution. Guanidinium stimulated the interaction of the carrier with neutral amino acids, but the effect was
restricted to certain analogues (e.g., l-leucine, l-glutamine, l-methionine). Thus, in the presence of guanidinium, the carrier discriminates sharply among different neutral amino acids.
The results suggest that the monovalent cations stabilize different carrier conformations.

The unicellular protozoan parasite, Crithidia luciliae, responded to osmotic swelling by undergoing a regulatory volume decrease. This process was accompanied by the efflux of amino
acids (predominantly alanine, proline and glycine). The relative loss of the electroneutral amino acids proline, valine, alanine
and glycine was greater than that for the anionic amino acid, glutamate; there was negligible loss of the cationic amino acids,
lysine, arginine and ornithine. The characteristics of amino acid release were investigated using a radiolabeled form of the
nonmetabolized alanine analogue α-aminoisobutyrate. α-Aminoisobutyrate efflux was activated within a few seconds of a reduction
of the osmolality, and inactivated rapidly (again within a few seconds) on restoration of isotonicity. The initial rate of
efflux of α-aminoisobutyrate from cells in hypotonic medium was unaffected by the extracellular amino acid concentration.
Hypotonically activated α-aminoisobutyrate efflux (as well as the associated regulatory volume decrease) was inhibited by
the sulfhydryl reagent N-ethylmaleimide but was not inhibited by a range of anion transport blockers. As in the efflux experiments, unidirectional
influx rates for α-aminoisobutyrate increased markedly following reduction of the osmolality, consistent with the swelling-activated
amino acid release mechanism allowing the flux of solutes in both directions. Hypotonically activated α-aminoisobutyrate influx
showed no tendency to saturate up to an extracellular concentration of 50 mm. The functional characteristics of the amino acid release mechanism are those of a channel, with a preference for electroneutral
and anionic amino acids over cationic amino acids. However, the pharmacology of the system differs from that of the anion-selective
channels that are thought to mediate the volume-regulatory efflux of organic osmolytes from vertebrate cells.

Modification of the structure of abscisic acid (ABA) has been reported to result in modification of its physiologic activity.
In this study we tested the effect of removing methyl groups from the ring and of chirality of ABA on activity in microspore-derived
embryos of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.). The natural (+)-ABA molecule induced growth inhibition and an increase in the amount of erucic acid accumulated in the
oil at medium concentrations less than 1 μm. (−)-ABA showed similar effects. Removing the 7′-methyl group resulted in a dramatic decrease in activity: (+)-7′-demethyl-ABA
retained some activity as a growth inhibitor; a 10–100 μm concentration of this compound was needed for a response, and (−)-7′-demethyl-ABA was almost completely inactive. Similar
effects were observed with regard to elongase activity, which catalyzes erucic acid biosynthesis from oleic acid. Removal
of the 8′- and 9′-methyl groups resulted in a more complex response. These compounds all showed intermediate activity; for
growth inhibition, the presence of the 9′-methyl was the more important determinant, whereas chirality dominated the response
on erucic acid accumulation, with the (+)-enantiomers being more active.

We isolated RNAs by selection–amplification, selecting for affinity to Phe–Sepharose and elution with free l-phenylalanine. Constant sequences did not contain Phe condons or anticodons, to avoid any possible confounding influence
on initially randomized sequences. We examined the eight most frequent Phe-binding RNAs for inclusion of coding triplets.
Binding sites were defined by nucleotide conservation, protection, and interference data. Together these RNAs comprise 70%
of the 105 sequenced RNAs. The K
D for the strongest sites is ≈50 μM free amino acid, with strong stereoselectivity. One site strongly distinguishes free Phe from Trp and Tyr, a specificity
not observed previously. In these eight Phe-binding RNAs, Phe codons are not significantly associated with Phe binding sites.
However, among 21 characterized RNAs binding Phe, Tyr, Arg, and Ile, containing 1342 total nucleotides, codons are 2.7-fold
more frequent within binding sites than in surrounding sequences in the same molecules. If triplets were not specifically related to binding sites, the probability of this distribution would be 4.8 × 10−11. Therefore, triplet concentration within amino acid binding sites taken together is highly likely. In binding sites for Arg,
Tyr, and Ile cognate codons are overrepresented. Thus Arg, Tyr, and Ile may be amino acids whose codons were assigned during
an era of direct RNA–amino acid affinity. In contrast, Phe codons arguably were assigned by another criterion, perhaps during
later code evolution. 相似文献

Sequential Amino Acid Exchange across b0,+-like System in Chicken Brush Border Jejunum 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

In the small intestine, cationic amino acids are transported by y+-like and b0,+-like systems present in the luminal side of the epithelium. Here, we report the characterization of a b0,+-like system in the apical membrane of the chicken jejunum, and its properties as an amino acid exchanger. Analysis of the
brush border membrane by Western blot points out the presence of rBAT (protein related to b0,+ amino acid transport system) in these membranes. A functional mechanism for amino acid exchange across this system was established
by kinetic analysis measuring fluxes at varying substrate concentrations both in internal (in) and external (out) vesicle
compartments. This intestinal b0,+-like system functions for l-arginine as an obligatory exchanger since its transport capacity increases 100–200 fold in exchange conditions, thus suggesting
an important role in the intestinal absorption of cationic amino acids. The kinetic analysis of Argin efflux velocities is compatible with the formation of a ternary complex and excludes a model involving a ping-pong mechanism. The binding affinity of Argout is higher than that of Argin, suggesting a possible order of binding (Argout first) for the formation of the ternary complex during the exchange cycle. A model of double translocation pathways with
alternating access is discussed.

A Possible Role for Jasmonic Acid in Adaptation of Barley Seedlings to Salinity Stress 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The changes caused by NaCl salinity and jasmonic acid (JA) treatment (8 days) on growth and photosynthesis of barley plants
(Hordeum vulgare L., var. Alfa) have been studied. Gas exchange measurements and analysis of enzyme activities were used to study the reactions
of photosynthesis to salinity and JA. Both 100 mm NaCl and 25 μm JA treatment led to a noticeable decrease in both the initial slope of the curves representing net photosynthetic rate vs
intercellular CO2 concentration and the maximal rate of photosynthesis. The calculated values of the intercellular CO2 concentration, CO2 compensation point, and maximal carboxylating efficiency of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase support the suggestion
that biochemical factors are involved in the response of photosynthesis to JA and salinity stress. The activities of phosphoenolpyruvate
carboxylase and carbonic anhydrase increased more than twofold. Pretreatment with JA for 4 days before salinization diminished
the inhibitory effect of high salt concentration on the growth and photosynthesis. The results are discussed in terms of a
possible role of JA in increasing salinity tolerance of the barley plants.

Some physiological and biochemical changes were measured between embryogenic and non-embryogenic callus obtained from Cardiospermum halicacabum. Combination of auxin with cytokinin was more favourable for high amount of callus formation. 2,4-D played a key role in triggering somatic embryo formation. Embryogenic callus had more total carbohydrate and starch contents, total free amino acids, nucleic acids, phenols and ascorbic acid. Non-embryogenic callus exhibited high chlorophyll content, total soluble sugar, protein, ammonia and enzymes like peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase. Thus, the present study indicated that the process of somatic embryogenesis was characterized by some biochemical and physiological changes induced by plant growth regulators. 相似文献

A callus was induced from the veins of a leaf of Symphytum officinale, comfrey, on a medium containing the inorganic elements reported by Murashige and Skoog with addition of 3% sucrose, 0.5 mg/liter 2,4-D and 0.3~3.0 mg/liter kinetin.Suspension cultures of this cell line obtained from the callus were shown to accumulate a large amount of L-glutamine intracellularly, The effect of growth hormones and nutrients on accumulation of the amino acid has been examined in suspension cultures. The most suitable concentrations of 2,4-D and kinetin for glutamine accumulation were 0.3 mg/liter each. The presence of potassium nitrate as a nitrogen source was beneficial for growth and ammonium nitrate stimulated the accumulation of glutamine. High levels of these nitrogen sources in the medium were required for obtaining a high level of glutamine. The concentration of glutamine accumulated reached to approximately 20% of dry cell weight when S. officinale was incubated in the medium containing 0.495 % of ammonium nitrate and 0.570% of potassium nitrate which corresponded to three times higher levels than those in a Murashige and Skoog’s medium.Most of the amino acid was found intracellularly but a small amount was excreted into the medium in the later stages of the incubation. Addition of a cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, to the cultures caused to increase the amount of the amino acid in the culture filtrate.The contents of free amino acids in leaves of S. officinale were compared with those in the callus. The level of glutamine in the callus was 260 times higher than that in the intact plant. 相似文献

Plant growth retardants were evaluated for their ability to reduce the growth rate of sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) in vitro. Nodal sections of cv. Jewel were cultured for 30 days on medium containing NDA, ancymidol, phosfon,
TIBA, difenzoquat, chlormequat, ACC, mepiquat chloride, or daminozide at 0, 10−4, 10−5, 10−6, 10−7, or 10−8
m. Difenzoquat, NDA, phosfon, and TIBA, at 10−4
m, were lethal to axillary bud explants. A low concentration (10−8
m) of chlorflurenol or NDA stimulated shoot elongation. The effective concentration range for most growth retardants was 10−5 to 10−6
m. Small (2- to 4-mm diameter) storage root-like swellings were observed on roots in cultures containing TIBA or ancymidol.
The growth-inhibiting effects of ancymidol and NDA were transitory and did not persist through a 180-day culture period. Shoots
cultured on medium containing 10−5
m phosfon, TIBA, or difenzoquat were significantly shorter than control plants after a 180-day culture period. Culture on medium
containing TIBA, NDA, ancymidol, or ACC resulted in abnormal leaf and stem development. Plants derived from nodal explants
cultured on medium containing either phosfon or chlormequat were near normal in appearance but with some plants exhibiting
interveinal chlorosis and reduced root system development.

Segments can be cut from the peducular-1 internode of oat (Avena sativa L.) shoots so as to contain the graviresponsive, auxin-sensitive leaf sheath pulvinus, and the gibberellin-sensitive internodal
tissue. These two growth-capable tissues were used to study the effects and interactions of jasmonic acid (JA) and abscisic
acid (ABA) in regulating cell elongation. When supplied alone at physiologic concentrations (10−5, 10−4
m), JA promoted growth and cell wall synthesis in the internodal tissue, whereas by itself, ABA inhibited internodal elongation
and even inhibited JA-promoted growth. When gibberellic acid (GA3) was used to stimulate internodal elongation, JA and ABA caused similar levels of inhibition and, at certain concentrations,
were synergistic. Inhibition by ABA was initiated several hours earlier than inhibition by JA, and only the ABA effect could
be partially overcome by 10−3
m aminoethoxyvinylglycine. Both JA and ABA inhibited elongation of pulvinar tissue that was induced to grow by gravistimulus
or auxin, although here JA was more potent than ABA at equimolar concentrations. When 10−5
m fusicoccin was used as a general nonphysiologic growth stimulus, JA had no effect on the internode but inhibited the pulvinus,
whereas ABA had no effect on the pulvinus but inhibited the internode. These results provide strong physiologic evidence that
JA and ABA act by different mechanisms in the regulation of elongation, at least in this representative grass.

The effects of jasmonic acid (JA) on elongation growth of coleoptile segments from etiolated maize (Zea mays L.) were investigated in the presence and absence of auxin. When supplied alone, at physiological concentrations (10−9, 10−8, and 10−5
m), JA (or methyl-JA) inhibited growth. JA at a similar range of concentrations also inhibited auxin-induced elongation growth.
To determine whether this effect on growth depended on endogenous abscisic acid (ABA), we grew maize coleoptiles in the presence
of norflurazon (an inhibitor of carotenoid biosynthesis) that results in reduced endogenous ABA levels. Growth of etiolated
coleoptile segments from these plants was inhibited by JA (or methyl-JA) in both the absence and presence of auxin. Previously,
we have observed a correlation between elongation growth and cytosolic pH (pHi), in which auxin lowers pHi, and growth inhibitors such as ABA raise pHi. We examined the effect of low concentrations of methyl-JA on pHi with dual emission dye, carboxy seminaphthorhodafluor-1, and confocal microscopy. To confirm these studies, we also used
in vivo 31P NMR spectrometry to ascertain the changes in pHi after addition of jasmonate to maize coleoptiles. Coleoptiles grown in either the absence or presence of norflurazon responded
to methyl-JA or JA by increases in pHi of approximately 0.2 pH unit. This response occurs over a period of 15–20 min and appears to be independent of endogenous
ABA. This alkalization induced by JA is likely to form a permissive environment for JA signal transduction pathway(s).

The effect of polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, and spermine) was examined for growth and production of two coumarins,
esculetin and esculin, in the hairy roots of chicory (Cichorium intybus L. cv. Lucknow local). Of the polyamines administered, 1.5 mm putrescine alone resulted in a 2.3-fold higher increase in the growth of hairy roots as well as in the production of esculetin
and esculin, which was 3.37 times more than that of the control on day 21. The endogenous level of conjugated putrescine was
more than fivefold that of free putrescine levels in untreated samples. The production of esculetin and esculin in hairy root
cultures strictly correlated with growth in all of the treatments. Putrescine at 1.5 mm resulted in a greater length of primary root (18.29 ± 1.37 cm) compared with the control (10.96 ± 0.82 cm) and more secondary
and tertiary roots. This study also provides insight into the morphogenetic changes that occur in roots in response to the
external supply of polyamines.

The rBAT protein, when expressed in Xenopus oocytes, was previously shown to reproduce the selectivity of the Na+-independent neutral and basic amino acid transport system called bo,+. More recently, the capacity of rBAT to generate a transmembrane current was demonstrated when addition of neutral amino
acids stimulated the efflux of cations (presumably basic amino acids) in rBAT-injected oocytes. In the present paper, aminoisobutyric
acid (AIB), a neutral amino acid analogue, was shown to induce outward currents (efflux of basic amino acids) through rBAT
similar to those caused by alanine in terms of affinity, maximal currents and I-V curves. Despite generating similar currents, the AIB transport rate was more than 30 times lower than that of alanine, thus
challenging the assumption that rBAT functions as a classical exchanger. Experiments using a cut-open oocyte voltage clamp
demonstrated that AIB was capable of stimulating rBAT-mediated currents from either side of the membrane. AIB, like alanine,
was able to stimulate the efflux of radiolabeled alanine and arginine while no rBAT-mediated efflux was measurable in the
absence of external rBAT substrates. These results demonstrate that (i) the presence of amino acids is required on both sides
of the membrane for rBAT to mediate amino acid flux and thus rBAT must be some type of exchanger but (ii) rBAT-mediated amino
acid influx is not stoichiometrically related to the efflux. A model of a ``double gated pore' is proposed to account for
these properties of rBAT, which contravene standard models of exchangers and other transporters.

Summary Diploid alfalfa (HG2), capable of plant regeneration from tissue culture, was used to select variant cell lines resistant to growth inhibition due to ethionine (an analog of methionine). Approximately 107 suspension-cultured cells were mutagenized with methane sulfonic acid ethylester and then plated in solid media containing ethionine. Callus colonies formed on media with 0.02 mM ethionine. Of the 124 cell lines recovered, 91 regenerated plants. After six months growth on media without ethionine, 15 of 110 cell lines of callus grew significantly better than HG2 on 1 mM ethionine. Several ethionine-resistant callus cultures were also resistant to growth inhibition due to the addition of lysine + threonine to the media. High concentrations, relative to unselected HG2 callus, of methionine, cysteine, cystathionine, and glutathione were found in some, but not all, ethionine-resistant callus cultures. Cell line R32, which had a ca. tenfold increase in soluble methionine, had a 43% increase in total free amino acids and a 40% increase in amino acids in protein as compared to unselected HG2 callus. Relative amounts of each amino acid in protein were the same in both.Abbreviation LT
