Flooding-induced membrane damage, lipid oxidation and activated oxygen generation in corn leaves

Flooding effects on membrane permeability, lipid peroxidation and activated oxygen metabolism in corn (Zea mays L.) leaves were investigated to determine if activated oxygens are involved in corn flooding-injury. Potted corn plants were flooded at the 4-leaf stage in a controlled environment. A 7-day flooding treatment resulted in a significant increase in chlorophyll breakdown, lipid peroxidation (malondialdehye content), membrane permeability, and the production of superoxide (O ₂ ^- ) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) in corn leaves. The effects were much greater in older leaves than in younger ones. Spraying leaves with 8-hydroxyquinoline (an O ₂ ^- scavenger) and sodium benzoate (an .OH scavenger) reduced the oxidative damage and enhanced superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. A short duration flooding treatment elevated the activities of SOD, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase (AP), and glutathione reductase (GR), while further flooding significantly reduced the enzyme activities but enhanced the concentrations of ascorbic acid and reduced form glutathione (GSH). It was noted that the decline in SOD activity was greater than that in H₂O₂ scavengers (AP and GR). The results suggested that O ₂ ^- induced lipid peroxidation and membrane damage, and that excessive accumulation of O ₂ ^- is due to the reduced activity of SOD under flooding stress.     

The 5′ untranslated region of Arabidopsis thaliana calmodulin cDNA is an independent cDNA containing an open reading frame

A cDNA clone, pAUK1, with an open reading frame (ORF) coding for a hypothetical 164-amino-acid protein was isolated from an Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh cDNA library. The clone was attached, tail to tail, to the 3′ end of A. thaliana hexokinase cDNA. An almost identical sequence had been previously described as the 5′ untranslated region (5′ UTR) of A. thaliana calmodulin cDNA (ACaM-2). Sequence comparison with three additional A. thaliana truncated cDNA clones which appear in a database (GenBank) supports the conclusion that pAUKl is identical to the 5′ UTR of ACaM-2 and that the 5′ UTR of ACaM-2 is an independent cDNA artificially linked to A. thaliana calmodulin cDNA.     

RFLP-based maps of the homoeologous group-6 chromosomes of wheat and their application in the tagging of Pm12, a powdery mildew resistance gene transferred from Aegilops speltoides to wheat

Genetic maps of the homoeologous group-6 chromosomes of bread wheat, Triticum aestivum, have been constructed spanning 103 cM on 6A, 90 cM on 6B and 124 cM on 6D. These maps were transferred to a Chinese Spring (CS) x line #31 cross to locate a dominant powdery mildew resistance gene, Pm12, introgressed into line #31 from Aegilops speltoides. Pm12 was shown to lie on the short arm of translocation chromosome 6BS-6SS.6SL in line #31, but could not be mapped more precisely due to the lack of recombination between the 6S Ae. speltoides segment and chromosome 6B. Possible strategies to reduce the size of the alien segment, which probably encompasses the complete long arm and more than 82% of the short arm of chromosome 6B, are discussed.     

Estimation of the primary productivity of Spartina alterniflora using a canopy model

A comprehensive canopy productivity model was built to study the productivity of a primary salt marsh grass, Spartina alterniflora. in Georgia, USA The canopy model was unique in employing plant demographic data to reconstruct canopy profiles and dynamics, which showed many growth processes that are otherwise difficult to discern in the field By linking canopy dynamics and leaf photosynthesis, the net total primary productivity of S alterniflora m a Georgia salt marsh was estimated to be 1421, 749, and 1441 g C m^-2 yr^-1 for the tall, short, and N-fertilized short populations respectively These estimates are reasonable in terms of the physiological capacity of S alterniflora and well below the range of 3000–4200 g C m^-2 yr^-1 as reported by some recent harvest studies Our detailed analysis suggested the net total productivity of S alterniflora might be greatly overestimated in the past This is mainly because of 1) failure to consider the translocation of photosynthate between aboveground and belowground parts, and 2) possible overestimates of belowground production We estimated the net belowground production to be 872, 397, and 762 g C m^-2 yr^-1 for the tall, short, and N-fertilized populations respectively After receiving nitrogen fertilizer, the net leaf carbon fixation in the short population increased from 1489 to 2487 g C m^-2 yr^-1, and our simulation showed the contribution of elevated leaf N to this increase was small, 21%, compared with that of increased leaf area, 79% Both tall and short populations allocated ca 48-49% of their annual gross leaf carbon fixation to belowground structures Nitrogen enrichment caused more allocation to aboveground parts in the short population, mainly for increasing leaf area The canopy model assumed that there was no leaf photosynthesis under tidal submergence, but if this assumption was relaxed, then leaf carbon fixation might increase 7–13% for different S alterniflora populations Although this research focused only on a salt marsh species, our general approaches, especially the coupling of leaf physiology with the reconstructed canopies, should be applicable to the study of production processes of many other plant populations

Cell aggregation and neurite growth in gels of extracellular matrix molecules

Components of the extracellular matrix are believed to guide both nerve cells and neurites to their targets during embryogenesis and, therefore, might be useful for controlling regeneration of nervous tissue in adults. To study the influence of extracellular conditions on neurite outgrowth and cell motility, PC12 cells were suspended in three-dimensional gels containing (i) collagen (0.4 to 2 mg/mL), (ii) collagen (1 mg/mL) with added fibronectin or laminin (1 to 100 mug/mL), and (iii) agarose (7 mg/mL) with added collagen (0.001 to 1 mg/mL). Neurite outgrwoth was stimulated with nerve growth factor (NGF) and both the extent of neurite outgrowth ad cell aggregation were quantitated over 10 to 12 days in culture. The extent of neurite outgrowth was greatest at the lowest collagen concentration tested (0.4 mg/mL) and decreased with increasing concentration. The addition of laminin or fibronectin altered the extent of neurite outgrowth in collagen gels, but the differences were small. Although no neurite growth was observed in pure agarose gels, considerable neurite outgrowth occurred with the addition of small amounts (>/=0.01 mg/mL) of collagen. Mean aggregate size increased more quickly in gels with lower concentrations of collagen. For cells in 1.0 mg/mL collagen, a four- to fivefold increase in aggregate volume was seen between days 2 and 10 o the culture period, whereas the increase in DNA content during this same period was less than twofold, suggesting that the cells were aggregating, not multiplying. These results suggest that the composition of the matrix supporting nerve cells has a significant effect on both neurite outgrowth and cell motility. (c) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

RFLP mapping of partially sequenced leaf cDNA clones in maize

We report here the results of mapping a set of 92 leaf cDNA clones in maize. The ends of each of these cDNA clones have previously been partially sequenced, and the sequence comparison has revealed the putative function for 28 clones. It is expected that the RFLP map developed using these expressed sequence tags will be of great importance for future maize genome analysis, such as for PCR-based gene mapping or gene function identification.Contribution from the Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station.
