We have analyzed the development of leaf shape and vascular pattern in leaves mutant for ASYMMETRIC LEAVES1 (AS1) or AS2 and compared the timing of developmental landmarks to cellular response to auxin, as measured by expression of the DR5:beta-glucuronidase (GUS) transgene and to cell division, as measured by expression of the cycB1:GUS transgene. We found that the earliest visible defect in both as1 and as2 first leaves is the asymmetric placement of auxin response at the distal leaf tip. This precedes visible changes in leaf morphology, asymmetric placement of the distal margin gap, formation of margin gaps along the leaf border, asymmetric distribution of marginal auxin, and asymmetry in cell division patterns. Moreover, treatment of developing leaves with either exogenous auxin or an auxin transport inhibitor eliminates asymmetric auxin response and subsequent asymmetric leaf development. We propose that the initial asymmetric placement of auxin at the leaf tip gives rise to later asymmetries in the internal auxin sources, which subsequently result in asymmetrical cell differentiation and division patterns. 相似文献

We show that two Arabidopsis thaliana genes for histone deacetylases (HDACs), HDT1/HD2A and HDT2/HD2B, are required to establish leaf polarity in the presence of mutant ASYMMETRIC LEAVES2 (AS2) or AS1. Treatment of as1 or as2 plants with inhibitors of HDACs resulted in abaxialized filamentous leaves and aberrant distribution of microRNA165 and/or microRNA166 (miR165/166) in leaves. Knockdown mutations of these two HDACs by RNA interference resulted in phenotypes like those observed in the as2 background. Nuclear localization of overproduced AS2 resulted in decreased levels of mature miR165/166 in leaves. This abnormality was abolished by HDAC inhibitors, suggesting that HDACs are required for AS2 action. A loss-of-function mutation in HASTY, encoding a positive regulator of miRNA levels, and a gain-of-function mutation in PHABULOSA, encoding a determinant of adaxialization, suppressed the generation of abaxialized filamentous leaves by inhibition of HDACs in the as1 or as2 background. AS2 and AS1 were colocalized in subnuclear bodies adjacent to the nucleolus where HDT1/HD2A and HDT2/HD2B were also found. Our results suggest that these HDACs and both AS2 and AS1 act independently to control levels and/or patterns of miR165/166 distribution and the development of adaxial-abaxial leaf polarity and that there may be interactions between HDACs and AS2 (AS1) in the generation of those miRNAs. 相似文献

The crinkled leaves8 (cls8) mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana displays a developmental phenotype of abnormal leaf and flower morphology, reduced root growth and bleached leaf sections. Map-based cloning identified the mutation as being within the gene encoding the large subunit of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR1), the enzyme that catalyses the rate-limiting step in the production of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) for DNA synthesis and repair. Levels of dTTP and dATP were significantly reduced in cls8. Two further mutant cls8 alleles and cls8::RNAi plants show similar or more severe phenotypes. The cls8-1 mutant has fewer copies of the chloroplast genome, and fewer, larger chloroplasts than wild-type plants. The ultrastructure of the chloroplast, however, appears normal in cls8-1 leaves. We present evidence that, under conditions of limited dNTP supply, the inhibition of chloroplast DNA replication may be the primary factor in inducing aberrant growth. 相似文献

Plastid protein import 2 (ppi2), a mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana, lacks a homologue of a component of the translocon at the outer envelope membrane of chloroplasts (Toc), designated Toc159 of the pea. Toc159 is thought to be essential for the import of photosynthetic proteins into chloroplasts. In order to investigate the effect of protein import on the plant development, we examined the morphologies of the developing leaves and the shoot apical meristems (SAM) in the ppi2 plants. Our histological analysis revealed that the development of leaves is severely affected in ppi2, while the structure of SAM is normal. Abnormalities in leaves became obvious in the later stages of leaf development, resulting in the generation of mature leaves with fewer mesophyll cells and more intercellular spaces as compared with the wild type. Palisade and spongy tissues of the mature leaves were indistinguishable in ppi2. Replication of chloroplast DNA was also suggested to be impaired in ppi2. Our results suggest that protein import into chloroplasts is important for the normal development of leaves. 相似文献

The effects of heat shock (HS) pre-treatment on the response tobenzyladenine were studied in two plant model systems (1) retardation ofsenescence of Arabidopsis thaliana L. Heyhn rosette leavesand (2) induction of greening of detached Cucurbita pepoL.cotyledons. N6-benzyladenine (BA) retarded senescence of rosetteleaves of Arabidopsis thaliana (L) Heyhn and briefpre-treatment with HS (3 at 37)essentially enhanced this cytokinin effect. BA stimulated cotyledon greening inCucurbita pepo L due to the activation of chlorophyllsynthesis. Brief cotyledon pre-heating at moderate temperatures (3 at 33–35) also enhanced thiscytokinin effect. 相似文献

Leaf venation patterns vary considerably between species and between leaves within a species. A mechanism based on canalization of auxin transport has been suggested as the means by which plastic yet organized venation patterns are generated. This study assessed the plasticity of Arabidopsis thaliana leaf venation in response to ectopic ground or procambial cell divisions and auxin transport inhibition (ATI). Ectopic ground cell divisions resulted in vascular fragments between major veins, whereas ectopic procambial cell divisions resulted in additional, abnormal vessels along major veins, with more severely perturbed lines forming incomplete secondary and higher-order venation. These responses imply limited vascular plasticity in response to unscheduled cell divisions. Surprisingly, a combination of ectopic ground cell divisions and ATI resulted in massive vascular overgrowth. It is hypothesized that the vascular overproduction in auxin transport-inhibited wild-type leaves is limited by simultaneous differentiation of ground cells into mesophyll cells. Ectopic ground cell divisions may negate this effect by providing undifferentiated ground cells that respond to accumulated auxin by differentiation into vascular cells. 相似文献

Many cells undergo symmetry-breaking polarization toward a randomly oriented "front" in the absence of spatial cues. In budding yeast, such polarization involves a positive feedback loop that enables amplification of stochastically arising clusters of polarity factors. Previous mathematical modeling suggested that, if more than one cluster were amplified, the clusters would compete for limiting resources and the largest would "win," explaining why yeast cells always make one and only one bud. Here, using imaging with improved spatiotemporal resolution, we show the transient coexistence of multiple clusters during polarity establishment, as predicted by the model. Unexpectedly, we also find that initial polarity factor clustering is oscillatory, revealing the presence of a negative feedback loop that disperses the factors. Mathematical modeling predicts that negative feedback would confer robustness to the polarity circuit and make the kinetics of competition between polarity factor clusters relatively insensitive to polarity factor concentration. These predictions are confirmed experimentally. 相似文献

The occurrence of four l-alanine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase (AOAT) isoenzymes (AOAT-like proteins): alanine aminotransferase 1 and 2 (AlaAT1
and AlaAT2, EC 2.6.1.2) and l-glutamate:glyoxylate aminotransferase 1 and 2 (GGAT1 and GGAT2, EC 2.6.1.4) was demonstrated in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves. These enzymes differed in their substrate specificity, susceptibility to pyridoxal phosphate inhibitors and behaviour
during molecular sieving on Zorbax SE-250 column. A difference was observed in the electrostatic charge values at pH 9.1 between
GGAT1 and GGAT2 as well as between AlaAT1 and AlaAT2, despite high levels of amino acid sequence identity (93 % and 85 %,
respectively). The unprecedented evidence for the monomeric structure of both AlaAT1 and AlaAT2 is presented. The molecular
mass of each enzyme estimated by molecular sieving on Sephadex G-150 and Zorbax SE-250 columns and SDS/PAGE was approximately
60 kDa. The kinetic parameters: Km (Ala)=1.53 mM, Km (2-oxoglutarate)=0.18 mM, kcat=124.6 s−1, kcat/Km=8.1 × 104 M−1·s−1 of AlaAT1 were comparable to those determined for other AlaATs isolated from different sources. The two studied GGATs also
consisted of a single subunit with molecular mass of 47.3–70 kDa. The estimated Km values for l-glutamate (1.2 mM) and glyoxylate (0.42 mM) in the transamination catalyzed by putative GGAT1 contributed to indentification
of the enzyme. Based on these results we concluded that each of four AOAT genes in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves expresses different AOAT isoenzyme, functioning in a native state as a monomer. 相似文献

Chlorophyll fluorescence imaging provides a non-invasive and non-destructive means with which to measure photosynthesis. This technique has been used, in combination with 14CO2 feeding, to study the spatial and temporal changes in source-sink relationships which occur in mechanically wounded leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana. Twenty-four hours after wounding, cells proximal to the wound margin showed a rapid induction of PhiII upon illumination (a measure of the efficiency of photosystem II photochemistry) whilst cells more distal to the wound margin exhibited a much slower induction of PhiII and a large, transient increase in NPQ (a measure of the rate constant for non-photochemical energy dissipation within the light-harvesting antenna). These results are indicative of an increase in sink strength in the vicinity of the wound and this was confirmed by the retention of 14C photosynthate in this region. It has been hypothesized that wound-induced cell wall (apoplastic) invertase (cwINV) activity plays a central role in generating localized increases in sink strength in stressed plant tissue and that hexose sugars generated by the sucrolytic activity of cwINV may act as a signal regulating gene expression. Enzyme activity measurements, quantitative RT-PCR, and T-DNA insertional mutagenesis have been used to determine that expression of AtcwINV1 is responsible for all induced cwINV activity in mechanically wounded leaves. Whilst inactivation of this gene abolished wound-induced cwINV activity, it did not affect localized alterations in source-sink relationships of wounded leaves or wound-regulated gene expression. The signals that may regulate source-sink relationships and signalling in wounded leaves are discussed. 相似文献

Abscisic aldehyde oxidase in leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone involved in seed development and responses to various environmental stresses. Oxidation of abscisic aldehyde is the last step of ABA biosynthesis and is catalysed by aldehyde oxidase (EC 1.2.3.1). We have reported the occurrence of three isoforms of aldehyde oxidase, AOalpha, AObeta and AOgamma, in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings, but none oxidized abscisic aldehyde. Here we report a new isoform, AOdelta, found in rosette leaf extracts, which efficiently oxidizes abscisic aldehyde. AO delta was specifically recognized by antibodies raised against a recombinant peptide encoded by AAO3, one of four Arabidopsis aldehyde oxidase genes (AAO1, AAO2, AAO3 and AAO4). Functionally expressed AAO3 protein in the yeast Pichia pastoris showed a substrate preference very similar to that of rosette AOdelta. These results indicate that AOdelta is encoded by AAO3. AOdelta produced in P. pastoris exhibited a very low Km value for abscisic aldehyde (0.51 microM), and the oxidation product was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to be ABA. Northern analysis showed that AAO3 mRNA is highly expressed in rosette leaves. When the rosette leaves were detached and exposed to dehydration, AAO3 mRNA expression increased rapidly within 3 h of the treatment. These results suggest that AOdelta, the AAO3 gene product, acts as an abscisic aldehyde oxidase in Arabidopsis rosette leaves. 相似文献

Arabidopsis thaliana Heyhn is a model species in biochemical, physiological and molecular studies for which a plethora of mutants is available.
This work aimed at developing a system for rooting of detached leaves, and evaluating time course of several relevant biochemical
parameters during rooting assays with and without auxins. The rooting pattern was of the direct type (without callus formation)
in all of the treatments and ecotypes analyzed and was rather stable. Considering the different parameters examined, peroxidase
activity and contents of phenolic compounds and soluble sugars appeared as the most distinct biochemical markers of the rooting
process in this system. 相似文献

Bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are triggers of defence responses in plants, and induce local as well as systemic acquired resistance. Arabidopsis thaliana plants pretreated with LPS show an increased resistance to the virulent bacterial plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000. To investigate the mobilization and transport of LPS in Arabidopsis leaves, fluorescently labelled LPS (Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugate) from Salmonella minnesota was used. Leaves were pressure infiltrated with fluorescein‐labelled LPS and fluorescence microscopy was used to follow the movement and localization of LPS as a function of time. The observation of leaves 1 h after supplementation with fluorescein‐labelled LPS revealed a fluorescent signal in the intercellular space. Capillary zone electrophoresis was used for the detection and analysis of the labelled LPS in directly treated leaves and systemic leaves. In addition, gel electrophoresis was used to confirm LPS mobilization. The results indicated that LPS mobilization/translocation occurs through the xylem from local, treated leaves to systemic, untreated leaves. Consequently, care should be taken when ascribing the observed biochemical responses and induced resistance from LPS perception as being uniquely local or systemic, as these responses might overlap because of the mobility of LPS in the plant vascular system. 相似文献

Cytokinin levels in leaves, leaf exudate and shoot apical meristem of Arabidopsis thaliana during floral transition 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Understanding the complete picture of floral transition is still impaired by the fact that physiological studies mainly concern plant species whose genetics is poorly known, and vice versa. Arabidopsis thaliana has been successfully used to unravel signalling pathways by genetic and molecular approaches, but analyses are still required to determine the physiological signals involved in the control of floral transition. In this work, the putative role of cytokinins was investigated using vegetative plants of Arabidopsis (Columbia) induced to flower synchronously by a single 22 h long day. Cytokinins were analysed in leaf extracts, leaf phloem exudate and in the shoot apical meristem at different times during floral transition. It was found that, in both the leaf tissues and leaf exudate, isopentenyladenine forms of cytokinins increased from 16 h after the start of the long day. At 30 h, the shoot apical meristem of induced plants contained more isopentenyladenine and zeatin than vegetative controls. These cytokinin increases correlate well with the early events of floral transition. 相似文献

Preparation of leaf mitochondria from Arabidopsis thaliana 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Arabidopsis thaliana is, perhaps, the most important model species in modern plant biology. However, the isolation of organelles from leaves of this plant has been difficult. Here, we present two different protocols for the isolation of mitochondria, yielding either highly functional crude mitochondria or highly purified mitochondria. The crude mitochondria were well coupled with the substrates tested (malate + glutamate, glycine and NADH), exhibiting respiratory control ratios of 2.1–3.9. Purified mitochondria with very low levels of chlorophyll contamination were obtained by Percoll gradient centrifugation, yielding 1.2 mg of mitochondrial protein from 50 g of leaves. 相似文献
