Photomorphogenesis in Pteris vittata IV. Action spectra for inhibition of phytochrome-dependent spore germination 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Action spectra between 350 and 500 nm for the inhibition ofphytochrome-dependent spore germination in the fern Pteris vittatawere obtained. Both action spectra obtained before and afterred light irradiation have peaks at about 440 nm and 380 nmand shoulders from 440 to 480 nm. These results suggest thatthe phytochrome system is not involved in the inhibitory processof spore germination induced by short irradiation with bluelight. (Received October 8, 1970; ) 相似文献

The phytochrome-dependent germination of spores was studiedin the fern Pteris vittata. Brief irradiations with red lightgiven at 0 and 25?C resulted in very similar germination rates.Irradiation with far-red light cancelled this promotive effect,irrespective of the temperature at which tested. The maximumrate of germination was induced by red light of ca. 70Jm2and half of the rate was induced by ca. 15Jm2 When sporesimbibed in the dark were kept for 1 h at 0 or 25?C under irradiationswith monochromatic lights from 660 to 730 nm at 10 nm intervals,spore germination was induced depending upon the establishedphotostationary states of phytochrome at both temperatures tested.The percent of PFR estimated in spores that had been irradiatedbriefly with red light was consistent with that resulted fromphotostationary states under different monochromatic lightsin terms of the percent of germination of a spore population.The threshold of the % PFR required for the germination of eachspore ranged widely from a few percent to 80% of the PFR. Thisdiversity may vary the timing of germination in nature.

The role of combined arsenic and antibiotics pollution in the environment has recently gained more attention. In this study, a new approach to eliminate tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) from water, via the fern species Pteris vittata (L.), an arsenic hyperaccumulator, was investigated. The encouraging results showed that more than half of the TCs could be removed from the water solution (with the starting concentration of TCs about 1.0 mg kg?1 respectively) after one day of treatment. No TCs (less than 0.01 mg kg?1) were detected in the solution after five days of treatment. The results showed that Pteris vittata has high ability to eliminate TCs, which makes it suitable for practical application. Further research found that TCs concentrations were very low in both the roots and the pinnae of Pteris vittata, which indicates that accumulation in the fronds is not the main removal mechanism and that degradation in the fronds might be the main cause. Present results provide a feasible method for simultaneous removal of arsenic and TCs from livestock-polluted wastewater. However, more research work should be done before any real-world application is made. 相似文献

Heavy metal pollution of soils, caused by various anthropogenic sources, is a major environmental problem. Due to its cost-effectiveness and environ-mental friendliness, phytoremediation of arsenic-con- taminated soils has attracted more and more attention. An arsenic (As) hyperaccumulator, Chinese brake (Pteris vittata L.) was discovered by Chen et al. in China[1]. The field phytoremediation in Chenzhou City, Hunan Province has been successfully carried out by Chen et al. since 2000[2,3].… 相似文献

High-arsenic groundwater in inland basins usually contains high concentrations of fluoride. In the present study, the effects of fluoride on arsenic uptake by Pteris vittata and on arsenic transformation in growth media were investigated under greenhouse conditions. After P. vittata was hydroponically exposed to 66.8 μM As (V) in the presence of 1.05 mM F? in the form of NaF, KF, or NaF+KF for 10 d, no visible toxicity symptoms were observed, and there were not significant differences in the dry biomass among the four treatments. The results showed that P. vittata tolerated F? concentrations as high as 1.05 mM but did not accumulate fluoride in their own tissues. Arsenic uptake was inhibited in the presence of 1.05 mM F?. However, in hydroponic batches with 60 μM As (III) or 65 μM As (V), it was found that 210.6 and 316.0 μM F? promoted arsenic uptake. As(III) was oxidized to As(V) in the growth media in the presence and absence of plants, and F? had no effect on the rate of As(III) transformation. These experiments demonstrated that P. vittata was a good candidate to remediate arsenic-contaminated groundwater in the presence of fluoride. Our results can be used to develop strategies to remediate As-F-contaminated water using P. vittata. 相似文献

Pteris vittata is known as an arsenic hyperaccumulator, but there is little information about its tolerance to cadmium and on its ability to accumulate this heavy metal. Our aim was to analyse the accumulation capacity, oxidative stress and antioxidant response of this fern after cadmium treatments. Cadmium content, main markers of oxidative stress and antioxidant response were detected in leaves of plants grown in hydroponics for both short- (5 days) and long- (15 days) term exposure to 0 (control) 60 and 100 μM CdCl2. In leaves, the concentration of cadmium and oxidative stress were parallel with the increase of cadmium exposure. In the short-term exposure, antioxidant response was sufficient to contrast cadmium phytotoxicity only in 60 μM cadmium-treated plants. In the long-term exposure all treated plants, in spite of the increase in activity of some peroxide-scavenging enzymes, showed a significant increase in oxidative damage. As in the long-term stress markers were comparable in all treated plants, with no clear correlation with hydrogen peroxide content, at least part of cadmium-induced oxidative injury seems not mediated by H2O2. Based on our studies, P. vittata, able to uptake relatively high concentrations of cadmium, is only partially tolerant to this heavy metal. 相似文献

Pteris vittata sporophytes hyperaccumulate arsenic to 1% to 2% of their dry weight. Like the sporophyte, the gametophyte was found to reduce arsenate [As(V)] to arsenite [As(III)] and store arsenic as free As(III). Here, we report the isolation of an arsenate reductase gene (PvACR2) from gametophytes that can suppress the arsenate sensitivity and arsenic hyperaccumulation phenotypes of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) lacking the arsenate reductase gene ScACR2. Recombinant PvACR2 protein has in vitro arsenate reductase activity similar to ScACR2. While PvACR2 and ScACR2 have sequence similarities to the CDC25 protein tyrosine phosphatases, they lack phosphatase activity. In contrast, Arath;CDC25, an Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) homolog of PvACR2 was found to have both arsenate reductase and phosphatase activities. To our knowledge, PvACR2 is the first reported plant arsenate reductase that lacks phosphatase activity. CDC25 protein tyrosine phosphatases and arsenate reductases have a conserved HCX5R motif that defines the active site. PvACR2 is unique in that the arginine of this motif, previously shown to be essential for phosphatase and reductase activity, is replaced with a serine. Steady-state levels of PvACR2 expression in gametophytes were found to be similar in the absence and presence of arsenate, while total arsenate reductase activity in P. vittata gametophytes was found to be constitutive and unaffected by arsenate, consistent with other known metal hyperaccumulation mechanisms in plants. The unusual active site of PvACR2 and the arsenate reductase activities of cell-free extracts correlate with the ability of P. vittata to hyperaccumulate arsenite, suggesting that PvACR2 may play an important role in this process. 相似文献

The fern Pteris vittata is an arsenic (As) hyperaccumulator and can take up very high concentrations of arsenic from the soil. However, little is known about its response to co-contamination with arsenic and copper (Cu). In this study, we used an in vitro model system of P. vittata gametophytes to investigate the impact of changes in As and Cu status on growth, chlorophyll (chl) concentration, metal accumulation, and subcellular localization. A remarkable inhibition of growth occurred when gametophytes were exposed to concentrations >or=1.0mM Na(3)AsO(4) or >or=0.5mM CuSO(4). chl concentration decreased significantly when gametophytes were exposed to >0.25mM of CuSO(4), but increased steadily with concentration to 相似文献

Murashige and Skoog's modified medium in 1% Difco Bacto-agar supplemented with sugar alcohols (sorbsitol, mannitol), growth regulators (1-naphthalenacetic acid, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, benzyladenine, kinetin) and sugars (fructose, glucose, sucrose) induced aposporous gametophytes from pinnae of Pteris vittata cultured in vitro at lower concentrations of all the mentioned components. Aposporous gametophytes and vegetative calli were produced at higher concentrations. The calli regenerated sporophytes when cultured on MS medium without growth regulators. The gametophytes grew vegetatively on MS medium but produced sporophytes when transferred into 0.1 strength MS medium. This is the first report of simultaneous production of calli and gametophytes from fern explants. 相似文献

When spores of the fern Pteris vittata are induced to germinate on water in the light, they develop solely a rhizoid. Upon addition of mineral salt medium and transfer into darkness they develop male gametangia directly at the spore. This precocious antheridiogenesis is inhibited by light. Ohytochrome and a blue-light photoreceptor are both involved in the control. Ions are required for the light-dependent inhibition of antheridia formation. It is concluded that spores are determined generatively while light inhibits the generative tendency and promotes the vegetative development. 相似文献

Arsenic hyperaccumulation by Pteris vittata L. (Chinese brake fern) may serve as a defense mechanism against herbivore attack. This study examined the effects of arsenic exposure (0, 5, 15 and 30 mg kg?1) on scale insect (Saissetia neglecta) infestation of P. vittata. Scale insects were counted as a percentage fallen from the plant to the total number of insects after 1 week of As-treatment. The arsenic concentrations in the fronds ranged from 5.40 to 812 mg kg?1. Greater arsenic concentrations resulted in higher percentage of fallen-scale insects (17.2–55.0%). Lower arsenic concentrations (≤5 mg kg?1) showed significantly lower effect on the population compared to 15–30 mg kg?1 (p < 0.05). Arsenic content in the fallen-scale insects was as high as 194 mg kg?1, which indicated that arsenic has been ingested by the scale insects via plant sap. This study is consistent with the hypothesis that arsenic may help P. vittata defend against herbivore's attack. 相似文献

A greenhouse experiment evaluated the effect of phytoextraction of arsenic from a contaminated soil by Chinese Brake Fern (Pteris vittata L.) and its subsequent effects on growth and uptake of arsenic by rice (Oryza sativa L.) crop. Pteris vittata was grown for one or two growing cycles of four months each with two phosphate sources, using single super phosphate (SSP) and di-ammonium phosphate (DAP). Rice was grown on phytoextracted soils followed by measurements of biomass yield (grain, straw, and root), arsenic concentration and, uptake by individual plant parts. The biomass yield (grain, straw and rice) of rice was highest in soil phytoextracted with Pteris vittata grown for two cycles and fertilized with diammonium phosphate (DAP). Total arsenic uptake in contaminated soil ranged from 8.2 to 16.9 mg pot(-1) in first growing cycle and 5.5 to 12.0 mg pot(-1) in second growing cycle of Pteris vittata. There was thus a mean reduction of 52% in arsenic content of rice grain after two growing cycle of Pteris vittata and 29% after the one growing cycle. The phytoextraction of arsenic contaminated soil by Pteris vittata was beneficial for growing rice resulted in decreased arsenic content in rice grain of <1 ppm. There was a mean improvement in rice grain yield 14% after two growing cycle and 8% after the one growing cycle of brake fern. 相似文献
