Polar transport of auxin has been identified as a central element of pattern formation. The polarity of auxin transport is linked to the cycling of pin-formed proteins, a process that is related to actomyosin-dependent vesicle traffic. To get insight into the role of actin for auxin transport, we used patterned cell division to monitor the polarity of auxin fluxes. We show that cell division in the tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv Bright-Yellow 2) cell line is partially synchronized and that this synchrony can be perturbed by inhibition of auxin transport by 1-N-naphthylphthalamic acid. To address the role of actin in this synchrony, we induced a bundled configuration of actin by overexpressing mouse talin. The bundling of actin impairs the synchrony of cell division and increases the sensitivity to 1-N-naphthylphthalamic acid. Addition of the polarly transported auxins indole-3-acetic acid and 1-naphthyl acetic acid (but not 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) restored both the normal organization of actin and the synchrony of cell division. This study suggests that auxin controls its own transport by changing the state of actin filaments. 相似文献

The responses of petiolar tissue of isolated leaves of Argyreianervosa to hormones were investigated by maintaining a transversegradient of auxin and auxin antagonist or auxin and gibberellin.The auxin used was ß-indolylbutyric acid (IBA) andthe auxin antagonist applied was maleic hydrazide. Gibberellicacid was also applied simultaneously with IBA. The experimentwas designed in such a way that while the solution of one hormonewas applied internally to the petiole with a capillary tube,the external surface of the petiole came in contact with thesolution of the other hormone. Wounding was caused in the pith by inserting a capillary tube.The division of the parenchymatous cells bordering the woundwas greater and cell dimension was less when auxin was appliedinternally but cell division was restricted and cell dimensionincreased when the auxin antagonist was applied at high concentrations.Root primordia and vascular tissues were formed in the pithwhen the concentration of auxin in the vicinity was greater.But these processes were blocked when the concentration of theauxin antagonist was greater in the neighborhood. The effectof auxin and gibberellin was synergistic in inducing these processes. (Received May 23, 1980; ) 相似文献

Corolla elongation and the roles of plant hormones in this process in Gaillardia grandiflora Van Houtte ray flowers were examined. The sterile ray flowers elongated during a 2-day period, and corolla growth was accompanied by fresh and dry weight increases and epidermal cell elongation (greatest near the base of the corolla) but not by cell division. Corollas excised from young ray flowers were measured during treatment in vitro with solutions of plant growth regulators. They elongated in response to gibberellins and fusicoccin but did not respond to auxins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, ethylene, or inhibitors of ethylene biosynthesis. Sequential and simultaneous hormone applications indicated no additive or synergistic effects between hormones, but auxin did reduce gibberellin-promoted growth. Analyses of endogenous auxins showed no significant variation, and ethylene production decreased prior to elongation, while a 20-fold increase in endogenous gibberellin activity was observed just prior to rapid corolla elongation. It appears that corolla growth in Gaillardia is accomplished by an increase in gibberellin activity alone, that multiple hormone interactions are not important in the control of corolla growth, and that part of the mode of action of gibberellin is acid-induced growth. 相似文献

Floral size is an ecologically important trait related to pollination success and genetic fitness. Independently of the sexual reproduction strategy, in many plants, floral size seems to be controlled by several genetic programs that are to some extent independent of vegetative growth. Flower size seems to be governed by at least two independent mechanisms, one controlling floral architecture that affects organ number and a second one controlling floral organ size. Different organ-dependent growth control may account for the final proportions of a flower as a whole. Genes controlling floral organ identity, floral symmetry and organ polarity as well as auxin and gibberellin response, also play a role in establishing the final size and architecture of the flower. The final size of an organ seems to be controlled by a systemic signal that might in some cases overcome transgenic modifications of cell division and expansion. Nevertheless, modification of basic processes like cell wall deposition might produce important changes in the floral organs. The coordination of the direction of cell division and expansion by unknown mechanisms poses a challenge for future research. 相似文献

The ovaries of pepper (Capsicum annum L.) plants grown under low night temperatures (12 °C) were larger than those of plants grown under high night temperatures (18 °C). TIBA, applied to young flower buds grown under the higher temperature regime markedly stimulated ovary swelling, similarly to the effect of low night temperatures, whereas, NAA had a much smaller effect. STS or AOA did not reverse or attenuate the effect of either low temperatures or of TIBA. Histological examination of various tissues across the ovaries revealed marked increases in transverse and longitudinal diameters of cell of the swelled ovaries, concomitantly with a smaller increase in the number of cells in the receptacle and placenta. It is suggested that the swelling induced by low night temperatures or TIBA results mostly from the enlargement of all the ovary cells, and only to a smaller extent, by an increase in cell number in some of the ovary tissues. Since TIBA, an auxin transport inhibitor, causes auxin accumulation in the treated organ – in this case the developing ovary – and the auxin NAA stimulated ovary growth, one may conclude that auxins are involved in the observed ovary enlargement, whereas ethylene has no role in this phenomenon. 相似文献

The directional transport of the plant hormone auxin depends on transcellular gradients of auxin-efflux carriers that continuously cycle between plasma membrane and intracellular compartments. This cycling has been proposed to depend on actin filaments. However, the role of actin for the polarity of auxin transport has been disputed. To get insight into this question, actin bundling was induced by overexpression of the actin-binding domain of talin in tobacco BY-2 cells and in rice plants. This bundling can be reverted by addition of auxins, which allows to address the role of actin organization on the flux of auxin. In both systems, the reversion of a normal actin configuration can be restored by addition of exogenous auxins and this fully restores the respective auxin-dependent functions. These findings lead to a model of a self-referring regulatory circuit between polar auxin transport and actin organization. To further dissect the actin-auxin oscillator, we used photoactivated release of caged auxin in tobacco cells to demonstrate that auxin gradients can be manipulated at a subcellular level.Key words: actin, auxin, BY-2, caged compounds, cell division, coleoptile, rice, tobacco 相似文献

The asymmetry of environmental stimuli and the execution of developmental programs at the organism level require a corresponding polarity at the cellular level, in both unicellular and multicellular organisms. In plants, cell polarity is important in major developmental processes such as cell division, cell enlargement, cell morphogenesis, embryogenesis, axis formation, organ development, and defense. One of the most important factors controlling cell polarity is the asymmetric distribution of polarity determinants. In particular, phosphorylation is implicated in the polar distribution of the determinant protein factors, a mechanism conserved in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In plants, formation of local gradients of auxin, the morphogenic hormone, is critical for plant developmental processes exhibiting polarity. The auxin efflux carriers PIN-FORMEDs (PINs) localize asymmetrically in the plasma membrane and cause the formation of local auxin gradients throughout the plant. The asymmetry of PIN distribution in the plasma membrane is determined by phosphorylationmediated polar trafficking of PIN proteins. This review discusses recent studies on the role of phosphorylation in polar PIN trafficking. 相似文献

The putative pea PINOID homolog, PsPK2, is expressed in all growing plant parts and is positively regulated by auxin, gibberellin, and cytokinin. Here, we studied hormonal regulation of PsPK2::GUS expression compared with DR5::GUS and PID::GUS in Arabidopsis. PsPK2::GUS, DR5::GUS, and PID::GUS expression in Arabidopsis shoots is mainly localized in the stipules, hydathodes, veins, developing leaves, and cotyledons. Unlike DR5::GUS, PsPK2::GUS, and PID::GUS are weakly expressed in root tips. Both DR5::GUS and PsPK2::GUS are induced by different auxins and are more sensitive to methyl indole acetic acid, 4-chloro-indole acetic acid, and α-naphthalene acetic acid than others. GA(3) has no significant effect on GUS activity in DR5::GUS-transformed seedlings compared to the control, but induction by auxin and gibberellin in combination is synergistic. Cytokinin increases auxin transport in Arabidopsis seedlings. Auxin, gibberellin, and cytokinin all increase GUS activity in shoots of PsPK2::GUS transformed plants compared to the control. However, only auxin and gibberellin increase GUS activity in PID::GUS shoots. In conclusion, auxin, gibberellin, and cytokinin positively regulate PsPK2 expression in shoots, but not in roots. Auxin and gibberellin also upregulate AtPIN1 and LEAFY expression, which is similar to PsPIN1 and Uni in pea. With minor exceptions, the orthologous genes from both species are regulated similarly. 相似文献

Two lines of evidence, one of which is based on the radioimmunoassay and the other on adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP)-dependent histone phosphorylation, are presented to demonstrate the presence of cyclic AMP in excised tissues of higher plant species. Intracellular levels of this cyclic nucleotide appear to be determined by auxin and a positive correlation has been found to exist between cell enlargement and chromosomal DNA replication, both auxin-dependent processes, and the level of cyclic AMP in tobacco pith cells. Intracellular guanosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic GMP) levels, while measurable, did not appear to be affected by either auxin or kinetin, or both, during the cell enlargement or cell division phases of the cell cycle in the tobacco pith system. 相似文献

The soluble bean leaf auxin-binding protein (ABP) has a high affinity for a range of auxins including indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), α-napthaleneacetic acid, phenylacetic acid, 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and structurally related auxins. A large number of nonauxin compounds that are nevertheless structurally related to auxins do not displace IAA from bean ABP. Bean ABP has a high affinity for auxin transport inhibitors and antiauxins. The specificity of pea ABP for representative auxins is similar to that found for bean ABP. The bean ABP auxin binding site is similar to the corn endoplasmic reticulum auxin-binding sites in specificity for auxins and sensitivity to thiol reagents and azide. Qualitative similarities between the ligand specificity of bean ABP and the specificity of auxin-induced bean leaf hyponasty provide further evidence, albeit circumstantial, that ABP (ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase) can bind auxins in vivo. The high incidence of ABP in bean leaves and the high affinity of this protein for auxins and auxin transport inhibitors suggest possible functions for ABP in auxin transport and/or auxin sequestration. 相似文献

We elucidated the effect of increased planting density (single and grouped competing plants) on concentrations of auxin, abscisic acid, and cytokinins in normal lettuce plants and in those with ethylene perception inhibited by 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP). An attempt was made to relate the changes in hormone concentration induced by competition and inhibition of ethylene sensitivity to growth responses of lettuce planting. The results showed changes in concentrations of auxins, cytokinins, and ABA in the response of lettuce to crowding. Accumulation of ABA in shoots was likely to contribute to inhibition of transpiration of the plants grown in the presence of neighbors. This assumption was supported by the results of application of an inhibitor of ABA synthesis (fluridone and carotenoid biosynthesis herbicide) resulting in increased transpiration of grouped, but not single plants. Increased planting density led to the decline in root auxins paralleled by inhibition of root growth. This effect was likely to be due to decreased auxin transport to the roots from the shoots suggested by accumulation of auxins in the shoots and inhibition of root growth by application of the auxin transport inhibitor [N-(1-naphtyl)phtalamic acid (NPA)]. Importance of the changes in hormone concentrations was confirmed by data showing that disturbance of auxin and cytokinin distribution detected in MCP-treated plants was accompanied by corresponding modification of the growth response. 相似文献

Growth of young pea (Pisum sativum) fruit (pericarp) requires developing seeds or, in the absence of seeds, treatment with gibberellin (GA) or auxin (4-chloroindole-3-acetic acid). This study examined the role of seeds and hormones in the regulation of cell division and elongation in early pea fruit development. Profiling histone H2A and gamma-tonoplast intrinsic protein (TIP) gene expression during early fruit development identified the relative contributions of cell division and elongation to fruit growth, whereas histological studies identified specific zones of cell division and elongation in exocarp, mesocarp, and endocarp tissues. Molecular and histological studies showed that maximal cell division was from -2 to 2 d after anthesis (DAA) and elongation from 2 to 5 DAA in pea pericarp. Maximal increase in pericarp gamma-TIP message level preceded the maximal rate of fruit growth and, in general, gamma-TIP mRNA level was useful as a qualitative marker for expanding tissue, but not as a quantitative marker for cell expansion. Seed removal resulted in rapid decreases in pericarp growth and in gamma-TIP and histone H2A message levels. In general, GA and 4-chloroindole-3-acetic acid maintained these processes in deseeded pericarp similarly to pericarps with seeds, and both hormones were required to obtain mesocarp cell sizes equivalent to intact fruit. However, GA treatment to deseeded pericarps resulted in elevated levels of gamma-TIP mRNA (6 and 7 DAA) when pericarp growth and cell enlargement were minimal. Our data support the theory that cell division and elongation are developmentally regulated during early pea fruit growth and are maintained by the hormonal interaction of GA and auxin. 相似文献

Summary Movement of radioactive auxins was analysed in corn coleoptile sections. The results support the idea that processes involved in the transport of indoleacetic acid (IAA) are specific for growth-promoting auxins.Inhibition of IAA transport by triiodobenzoic acid is caused by a reversible block of the exit; the auxin held back remains in the transport pool. The observed increase in immobilization may be a secondary effect caused by the increased concentration of free IAA in the tissue.Auxin molecules are most likely transported by a non-covalent mechanism. IAA and naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) move through the cell and exit as free molecules. A search for a transient auxin complex, chaseable as required for any transport carrier intermediate, yielded negative results. No 18O was lost from NAA labeled with 18O in the carboxyl group during transport of the auxin through coleoptile tissue.After application of IAA to auxin-depleted tissue, the transport rate undergoes oscillations with a period length of ca. 25 min.The movement of the auxin 2.4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid which is usually sluggish, increased several times if some IAA was added. Auxin, thus, stimulates its own transport.A model is discussed in which auxin-binding to the plasma membrane and reversible changes of membrane conformation may provide a basis for active secretion and for the observed cooperativity.

The actions of plant regulators in set and development of fruitsare well known. However, the presence and function of endogenoushormones in parthenocarpic fruits have still not been sufficientlyinvestigated. A comparison between seeded and seedless fruitsmakes it possible to obtain a more accurate understanding ofsome relationships between growth regulators and stages of fruitdevelopment. Endogenous auxin and gibberellin activity levelsand some growth parameters (fresh and dry weight, cell numberand cell volume, DNA content) have been determined in tomatofruits ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) of the cultivar Venturaand of its isogenic parthenocarpic mutant. In both genotypes,auxin and gibberellin are present in the first week after anthesis,though at different concentrations and with different patterns.These two activities are involved in fruit setting. The simultaneousoccurrence of maximum auxin concentration and of the beginningof cell enlargement, in both genotypes, shows that the activitypresent at this time starts fruit development and possibly determinesthe size of the fruits. High auxin activity is observed only in seeded fruits 2040days after anthesis, and it is probably synthesized by seeds.Gibberellin activity is present, corresponding to the changein fruit development from the mature green to pink stages.

A partition method has been devised to separate auxins, gibberellins, and their respective inhibitors in plant extracts. Inhibitors counteracting gibberellin activity have been detected by a modified barley endosperm bioassay. An inhibitor found in young citrus shoots counteracts both auxin and gibberellin activities and behaves during partition and ohromatography like abscisin II. 相似文献

A hierarchical scheme for the central role of the plant hormones auxin and gibberellins in fruit set and development has been established for the model plants Arabidopsis and tomato. In the fruit crop Capsicum annuum, the importance of auxin as an early signal in fruit set has also been recognized; however, the effect of gibberellins and their interaction with auxin has not yet been studied. The aim of this study was to determine the role of gibberellin and the hierarchy between auxin and gibberellin. We applied gibberellin alone or in combination with auxin or with the gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitor paclobutrazol on stigmas of emasculated flowers. Gibberellin application enhanced fruit set, whereas application of paclobutrazol reduced fruit set. The effect of paclobutrazol treatment could be counteracted by coapplication of gibberellin but not by auxin . These results indicate that in C. annuum, like in Arabidopsis and tomato, auxin is the major inducer of fruit set that acts in part by inducing gibberellin biosynthesis. Interestingly, gibberellin does not significantly contribute to the final fruit size but seems to play an important role in preventing flower and fruit abscission, a major determinant of production loss in C. annuum. At the same time, gibberellin together with auxin seems to balance cell division and cell expansion during fruit growth. 相似文献
