蓝光调节高粱突变体har1幼苗的去黄化反应

以航空诱变高粱突变体har1为材料,对其幼苗去黄化过程进行研究。萌发的种子在远红光下预培养6小时后,置于12小时蓝光/2小时黑暗条件下培养。测量幼苗的各器官伸长,结果表明,与野生型R111相比,harl的胚芽鞘、中胚轴、第一叶鞘以及第二叶鞘的伸长均受到蓝光的明显抑制,而蓝光对叶片生长影响不明显。3天龄har1黄化苗在连续蓝光下中胚轴花色素苷的积累明显增高,红光和远红光无此效应。此外,蓝光促进har1叶片叶绿体发育,且在蓝光照射24小时后叶片中叶绿素含量升高。Westernblot检测结果显示,7天龄R111和har1幼苗隐花色素SbCRY1b蛋白水平呈现蓝光下低、黑暗中高的变化趋势,har1的SbCRY1b蛋白水平在黑暗中高于R111。研究结果表明,高粱har1在去黄化过程中具有蓝光超敏感表型,SbCRY1b的作用值得进一步深入研究。

高粱CRY2基因的克隆及其表达分析

从高粱(Sorghum bicolor L．var．R111)幼苗中提取总RNA,利用RT-PCR和cDNA的3′末端的快速扩增方法(3′RACE),第一次克隆了高粱隐花色素2基因(CRY2)的cDNA序列。该序列包括了一个完整的开放阅读框,编码大小为690个氨基酸残基的蛋白质,与水稻、番茄和拟南芥CRY2蛋白质的同源性分别为87％、57％和45．5％。高粱CRY2基因组DNA含有3个内含子和4个外显子。RT-PCR检测结果表明,高粱CRY2基因在根、茎和叶中都有转录。Western blotting结果显示CRY2蛋白在根、茎和叶中表达,并在黑暗中积累,蓝光下降解。高粱CRY2可能在蓝光诱导的幼苗去黄化反应中起作用。

隐花素在生长素调控拟南芥下胚轴伸长中的作用分析

以拟南芥野生型(Col-4)和隐花素双突变体cry1cry2为材料,研究不同光照条件下不同浓度吲哚乙酸(IAA)和IAA极性运输抑制剂氨基酞氨酸(NPA)对幼苗下胚轴伸长的影响。结果显示,低浓度IAA(10-7mol/L)可促进连续白光和红光下cry1cry2幼苗下胚轴伸长,而连续蓝光下cry1cry2下胚轴的伸长则受到抑制。蓝光下相同浓度的NPA对cry1cry2幼苗下胚轴伸长的抑制程度比野生型要小。RT-PCR分析结果显示,瞬时蓝光处理时IAA合成关键酶基因IGPS以及生长素应答基因IAA1和IAA5在cry1cry2突变体中的转录水平比野生型中要高。这表明隐花素可能部分通过调节IAA合成和/或IAA极性运输,介导蓝光调控拟南芥下胚轴的伸长。

采用发光二极管(LED)精确调制不同光谱能量分布,以荧光灯光照为对照,研究光质对番茄和莴苣幼苗生长及叶绿体超微结构的影响.结果表明：红光下番茄、莴苣幼苗的可溶性糖、淀粉和碳水化合物含量均显著高于对照,叶片叶绿体中淀粉粒膨大显著;蓝光极显著抑制了番茄下胚轴伸长,显著提高了莴苣和番茄幼苗叶片叶绿素a和类胡萝卜素含量;红蓝光下莴苣幼苗叶片的可溶性糖、淀粉、碳水化合物、蔗糖含量和C/N均达到最大值且显著高于红光处理,番茄和莴苣幼苗的主根显著伸长,幼苗叶片中叶绿体形态正常,基粒增多,基质片层清晰,淀粉粒体积明显小于红光处理.光质对植物幼苗的光形态建成、生长、碳氮代谢及叶绿体发育有显著影响;红光下光合产物积累显著但运输受阻严重,在红光中添加适量蓝光更有利于莴苣幼苗的碳水化合物积累,并可促进幼苗根系生长,有利于同化产物输出.     

光敏色素对黄化绿豆幼苗下胚轴原生质体膨大的调节作用

红光引起黄化绿豆（ＰｈａｓｅｏｌｕｓｒａｄｉｔｕｓＬ．）幼苗下胚轴原生质体膨大,远红光可逆转红光的作用。这种可逆现象至少能在两个红光－远红光循环中观察到;膨大反应与红光光照强度和时间呈正相关,表明黄化绿豆幼苗下胚轴原生质体膨大是由光敏色素诱导的。红光引起的膨大只是在培养液中有Ｃａ２＋ 存在时才能发生,Ｍｇ２＋ 、Ｂａ２＋ 、Ｚｎ２＋ 或Ｋ＋ 均不能替代Ｃａ２＋ 的作用。膨大与原生质体吸水有一定关系

Cryptochrome 1b from Sweet Sorghum Regulates Photoperiodic Flowering,Photomorphogenesis, and ABA Response in Transgenic <Emphasis Type="Italic">Arabidopsis thaliana</Emphasis>

Cryptochromes are blue/UV-A light receptors that mediate various aspects of plant growth and development. Here, we report the function and signal mechanism of cryptochrome 1b (SbCRY1b) from sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], a typical short-day cereal plant, to explore its potential for genetic improvement of sweet sorghum varieties. SbCRY1b mRNA enrichment showed almost 24-h diurnal rhythms in both short-day (SD) and long-day (LD) conditions. Overexpression of SbCRY1b rescued the late-flowering and the long hypocotyl phenotypes of cry1cry2 double mutant in the transgenic Arabidopsis. SbCRY1b mediated Arabidopsis FT mRNA expression in LD and HY5 protein accumulation in response to blue light. SbCRY1b protein was located in both the nucleus and cytoplasm and was degraded by 26S proteasomes in response to blue light. SbCRY1b interacted, respectively, with Arabidopsis suppressor of PHYA-1051 (AtSPA1), E3 ubiquitin ligase constitutive photomorphogenesis 1 (AtCOP1), and a putative COP1 from sweet sorghum (SbCOP1) instead of SbSPA1 in vitro in a blue light-dependent manner. The observations imply SbCRY1b functions as a major regulator of photoperiodic flowering and its function is more similar to that of Arabidopsis CRY2. Moreover, SbCRY1b-overexpressed transgenic Arabidopsis showed oversensitivity to abscisic acid (ABA) during seed germination and root development. The expression of abscisic acid-insensitive 4 (ABI4), ABI5, abscisic acid responsive element-binding 1 (ABF1), (sucrose non-fermenting 1)-related protein kinase (SnRK2.3), RD29A, and EM6 was upregulated in the transgenic Arabidopsis. The results demonstrated that SbCRY1b may integrate blue light and ABA signals to regulate plant development.     

Genetic dissection of blue-light sensing in tomato using mutants deficient in cryptochrome 1 and phytochromes A, B1 and B2

Several novel allelic groups of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) mutants with impaired photomorphogenesis have been identified after gamma-ray mutagenesis of phyA phyB1 double-mutant seed. Recessive mutants in one allelic group are characterized by retarded hook opening, increased hypocotyl elongation and reduced hypocotyl chlorophyll content under white light (WL). These mutants showed a specific impairment in response to blue light (BL) resulting from lesions in the gene encoding the BL receptor cryptochrome 1 (cry1). Phytochrome A and cry1 are identified as the major photoreceptors mediating BL-induced de-etiolation in tomato, and act under low and high irradiances, respectively. Phytochromes B1 and B2 also contribute to BL sensing, and the relative contribution of each of these four photoreceptors differs according to the light conditions and the specific process examined. Development of the phyA phyB1 phyB2 cry1 quadruple mutant under WL is severely impaired, and seedlings die before flowering. The quadruple mutant is essentially blind to BL, but experiments employing simultaneous irradiation with BL and red light suggest that an additional non-phytochrome photoreceptor may be active under short daily BL exposures. In addition to effects on de-etiolation, cry1 is active in older, WL-grown plants, and influences stem elongation, apical dominance, and the chlorophyll content of leaves and fruit. These results provide the first mutant-based characterization of cry1 in a plant species other than Arabidopsis.     

Specificity and Photomorphogenic Nature of Ultraviolet-B-Induced Cotyledon Curling in Brassica napus L

Three general classes of photomorphogenic photoreceptors have been characterized in higher plants: phytochrome, a blue light/ultraviolet (UV)-A photoreceptor(s), and a UV-B sensory system(s). Although a great deal is known about phytochrome and the blue light/UV-A photoreceptor(s), little is known about UV-B detection processes. One reason for this is the lack of readily quantifiable morphogenic responses that are specifically induced by UV-B radiation. We have discovered a response to UV-B, upward curling of Brassica napus L. cotyledons, that may be useful for probing the mechanism of UV-B photoreception. The process was initially observed when B. napus seeds were germinated under visible light plus UV-B radiation, but did not occur under visible light alone or visible light plus UV-A. When 5-d-old seedlings grown in visible light were given relatively short exposures of UV-B (100 min of 5.5 [mu]mol m-2 s-1), the curling response was also observed. Development of curling was separated from the application of this UV-B pulse by a 14-h latent period. Pulses of red light, blue light, farred light, and UV-A (100 min of 5.5 [mu]mol m-2 s-1) did not induce curling, indicating UV-B specificity Additionally, these other spectral regions did not reverse or enhance the UV-B-triggered response. The degree of curling showed a log-linear dependence on UV-B fluence (6-40 mmol m-2) and reciprocity with respect to length of exposure and fluence rate. The data indicate that curling is photomorphogenic in nature and may be triggered by a single photoreceptor species.

宽菜Amaranthus cruentus cv.生长在调控的温室条件。在光强0至800μmol.m~(-2)S~(-1),光合速率(PN,μmol.CO_2m~(-2)、s~(-1))随光强(PFD,μmol、m~(-2)、s~(-1))增高而增大,其关系为PN=56.82 PFD×10~(-3)—2.13。光补偿点为60μmol.m~(-2)、s~(-1)。叶片在1400 μmol.m~(-2)、s~(-1)达到光合光饱和点。在叶温35℃,叶片/空气水蒸汽压陡度20 m Pa、Pa~(-1)和外界CO_2浓度340μ1、1~(-1),光饱和光合速率为51.63±4.90μ mol.CO_2、m~(-2)、S~(-1)。在光强0至600μmol.m~(-2)、s~(-1),气孔传道率随光强增高而增大。光强高于600μmol.m~(-2)、s~(-1),气孔传道率变化较小。细胞间CO_2浓度为120μ1.1~(-1)由于细胞间CO_2浓度在光合速率——CO_2关系曲线的转折点,可能表明光合作用不受气孔限制。结果表明,苋菜适于高光强环境生长,在干旱条件下具有高的光合速率。     

光照强度对小麦苗期草酸氧化酶活性的影响

以小麦品种‘烟优361’(Triticum aestivum L.cv.Yanyou 361)萌发4 d幼苗为试验材料,分析了草酸氧化酶(OxO)在幼苗中的定位和表达,以及光照强度处理对小麦幼苗OxO活性的影响。实验结果显示,萌发后小麦幼苗的OxO分布在子叶与根的连接处和成熟的根中,其活性随光照强度的增加而下降;200μmol.m-2.s-1的强光显著抑制了OxO活性,该处理培养4 d幼苗的OxO活性仅为40μmol.m-2.s-1光照培养条件下的18.7%;强光还缩短OxO在苗期的表达时间,抑制了OxO的mRNA表达量。同时,光照强度还能影响小麦幼苗中H2O2的含量,200μmol.m-2.s-1处理幼苗的H2O2的含量显著下降,其培养4 d的幼苗H2O2含量仅为40μmol.m-2.s-1光照强度培养条件下的18.0%。研究发现,光照强度可通过调节OxO的活性和表达量来控制H2O2的产量,从而影响幼苗的生长发育。     

Blue light and phytochrome-mediated stomatal opening in the npq1 and phot1 phot2 mutants of Arabidopsis

Recent studies have shown that blue light-specific stomatal opening is reversed by green light and that far-red light can be used to probe phytochrome-dependent stomatal movements. Here, blue-green reversibility and far-red light were used to probe the stomatal responses of the npq1 mutant and the phot1 phot2 double mutant of Arabidopsis. In plants grown at 50 micromol m-2 s-1, red light (photosynthetic)-mediated opening in isolated stomata from wild type (WT) and both mutants saturated at 100 micromol m-2 s-1. Higher fluence rates caused stomatal closing, most likely due to photo-inhibition. Blue light-specific opening, probed by adding blue light (10 micromol m-2 s-1) to a 100 micromol m-2 s-1 red background, was found in WT, but not in npq1 or phot1 phot2 double mutant stomata. Under 50 micromol m-2 s-1 red light, 10 micromol m-2 s-1 blue light opened stomata in both WT and npq1 mutant stomata but not in the phot1 phot2 double mutant. In npq1, blue light-stimulated opening was reversed by far-red but not green light, indicating that npq1 has a phytochrome-mediated response and lacks a blue light-specific response. Stomata of the phot1 phot2 double mutant opened in response to 20 to 50 micromol m-2 s-1 blue light. This opening was green light reversible and far-red light insensitive, indicating that stomata of the phot1 phot2 double mutant have a detectable blue light-specific response.     

Light-stimulated cell expansion in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) leaves

The quantity and quality of light required for light-stimulated cell expansion in leaves of Phaseolus vulgaris L. have been determined. Seedlings were grown in dim red light (RL; 4 micromoles photons m-2 s-1) until cell division in the primary leaves was completed, then excised discs were incubated in 10 mM sucrose plus 10 mM KCl in a variety of light treatments. The growth response of discs exposed to continuous white light (WL) for 16 h was saturated at 100 micromoles m-2 s-1, and did not show reciprocity. Extensive, but not continuous, illumination was needed for maximal growth. The wavelength dependence of disc expansion was determined from fluence-response curves obtained from 380 to 730 nm provided by the Okazaki Large Spectrograph. Blue (BL; 460 nm) and red light (RL; 660 nm) were most effective in promoting leaf cell growth, both in photosynthetically active and inhibited leaf discs. Far-red light (FR; 730 nm) reduced the effectiveness of RL, but not BL, indicating that phytochrome and a separate blue-light receptor mediate expansion of leaf cells.
