Current information on the structure and function of motile tubular vacuoles in Pisolithus tinctorius and other fungi is reviewed. The use of fluorochromes to label the vacuole lumen is evaluated and observations on the structure and motility of vacuoles in P. tinctorius are differentiated from possible artifacts. The styryl dyes FM4-64 and MDY-64, used in yeast to demonstrate endocytosis, show little or no labeling of internal membranes in undamaged P. tinctorius cells. This agrees with our data showing that other probes for endocytosis such as Lucifer yellow CH are not taken up by hyphal tip cells. Overall, the observations do not support endocytosis in hyphal tips. It has been suggested that tubular vacuole systems carry out longitudinal transport, and evidence in favor of this hypothesis is evaluated. New data are presented to show that many of the large vacuoles in subapical cells are attached to the plasma membrane and are relatively immobile, while video sequences show movement of fluorochrome in pulses along a series of several large vacuoles, all interconnected via tubules. Tubular vacuoles from thick sections of hyphae processed under anhydrous conditions are shown by X-ray microanalysis to contain relatively high levels of P and K, as seen previously in the larger vacuoles. These results provide further evidence for a role of the tubular vacuoles in longitudinal transport of P. Copyright 1998 Academic Press. 相似文献

Pig to human xenotransplantation is considered a possible solution to the
prevailing chronic lack of human donor organs for allotransplantation. The
Galalpha1,3Gal determinant is the major porcine xenogeneic epitope causing
hyperacute rejection following human antibody binding and complement
activation. In order to characterize the tissue distribution of
Galalpha1,3Gal-containing and blood group- type glycosphingolipids in pig,
acid and nonacid glycosphingolipids were isolated from the kidney, small
intestine, spleen, salivary gland, liver, and heart of a single pig
obtained from a semi-inbred strain homozygous at the SLA locus. Glycolipids
were analyzed by thin-layer immunostaining using monoclonal antibodies, and
following ceramide glycanase cleavage as permethylated oligosaccharides by
gas chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and matrix-
assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. The kidney
contained large amounts of Galalpha1,3Gal-containing penta- and
hexasaccharides having carbohydrate sequences consistent with the
Galalpha1,3nLc4and Galalpha1,3Lexstructures, respectively. The former
structure was tentatively identified in all organs by GC/MS. The presence
of extended Galalpha1,3Gal-terminated structures in the kidney and heart
was suggested by antibody binding, and GC/MS indicated the presence of a
Galalpha1,3nLc6structure in the heart. The kidney, spleen, and heart
contained blood group H pentaglycosylceramides based on type 1 (H-5-1) and
type 2 (H-5-2) chains, and H hexaglycosylceramides based on the type 4
chain (H-6-4). In the intestine H-5-1 and H-6-4 were expressed, in the
salivary gland H-5-1 and H-5-2, whereas only the H-5-1 structure was
identified in the liver. Blood group A structures were identified in the
salivary gland and the heart by antibody binding and GC/MS, indicating an
organ- specific expression of blood group AH antigens in the pig.

Effect of drought on ear and flag leaf photosynthesis of two wheat cultivars differing in drought resistance 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We investigated net photosynthetic rate (PN) of ear and two uppermost (flag and penultimate) leaves of wheat cultivars Hongmangmai (drought resistant) and Haruhikari (drought sensitive) during post-anthesis under irrigated and non-irrigated field conditions. The PNof ear and flag leaf were significantly higher and less affected by drought in Hongmangmai than in Haruhikari. The rate of reduction in stomatal conductance (gs) was similar for the two cultivars, but intercellular CO2concentration (Ci) in the flag leaf of Hongmangmai was lower than that of Haruhikari in non-irrigated treatment. No differences were observed in leaf water potential (1) and osmotic adjustment of the flag leaf of the cultivars. These results imply that differences in photosynthetic inhibition on the flag leaf at low leaf 1between the cultivars were primarily due to non-stomatal effects. Hence the main physiological factor associated with yield stability of Hongmangmai under drought stress may be attributed to the capacity for chloroplast activity in the flag leaf, which apparently allows sustained PNof flag leaf during grain filling under drought stress. The higher PNof ear in Hongmangmai under drought could also be related to its drought resistance.This revised version was published online in March 2005 with corrections to the page numbers. 相似文献

Background
Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, affects a large number of people in both the USA and Europe. The mouse is a natural host for this spirochete and is widely used as a model system to study Lyme pathogenesis mechanisms. Since disease manifestations often depend upon the spirochete burden in a particular tissue, it is critical to accurately measure the bacterial number in infected tissues. The current methods either lack sensitivity and specificity (SYBR Green), or require independent analysis of samples in parallel to quantitate host and bacterial DNA (TaqMan). We have developed a novel molecular beacon-based convenient multiplex real-time quantitative PCR assay to identify and detect small numbers of B. burgdorferi in infected mouse tissues. 相似文献18.
Cotton shoot plays a major role in mediating senescence induced by potassium deficiency 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The objective of this study was to determine the roles of shoot and root in the regulation of premature leaf senescence induced by potassium (K) deficiency in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Two contrasting cultivars (CCRI41, more sensitive to K deficiency; and SCRC22, a less sensitive cultivar) were selected for self- and reciprocal-grafting, using standard grafting (one scion/one rootstock), Y grafting (two scions/one rootstock) and inverted Y grafting (one scion/two rootstocks) at the seedling stage. Standard grafting was studied in the field in 2007 and 2008. There were no obvious differences in senescence between CCRI41 and SCRC22 scions while supplied with sufficient K. However, SCRC22 scions showed significantly greater K content, SPAD values (chlorophyll content), soluble protein content and net photosynthetic rates than CCRI41 scions while grown in K deficient solution or soil, regardless of rootstock cultivars, grafting types, growth stage and growth conditions. Also, SCRC22 scions had greater yield and less variation in boll weight either between upper- and lower sympodials, or between proximal and distal fruit positions from the main stem in the field under K deficiency, probably owing to reduced leaf senescence. Although the effect of rootstocks on leaf senescence under K deficiency was significant in some cases, the scion cultivars explained the highest percentage of variations within grafting treatments. The shoot-to-root feedback signal(s), rather than high shoot demand for K nutrition, was involved in the shoot regulation of premature senescence in cotton plants, achieved possibly by altering root K uptake. 相似文献

Variations in Growth, Photosynthesis and Defense System Among Four Weed Species Under Increased UV-B Radiation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Weed tolerance of UV-B radiation varies with species, and the radiation could affect weed ecology and management. Variations In growth, photosynthesis and defense system among four important agronomic weeds, Abutllon theophrastl Medlk, Amaranthus retroflexus L., Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop and Chloris virgata Swartz, under Increased UV-B radiation (ambient and increased radiation at 2.7, 5.4 and 10.8 kJ.m^-2.d-1) were studied In the greenhouse experiment. After 2 weeks of radiation, the shoots' dry mass decreased with increasing UV-B radiation except for D. sanguinalis. The reduction in biomass was the result of changes in morphology and physiology. Higher levels of UV-B treatment decreased the leaf area, plant height, net photosynthetic rate and chlorophyll contents, while it increased the contents of wax and UV-B absorbing compound in all species, except for A. retroflexus, which did not increase significantly. The activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxide and the content of ascorblc acid changed differently among the weed species as UV-B radiation increased. D. sangulnalls was the most tolerant and A. retroflexus the most sensitive to increased UV-B radiation. The results also show that the two grass species (D. sanguinalis and C. virgata) were more tolerant to UV-B radiation than the two broadleafed species (A. theophrasti and A. retroflexus). The UV-B absorbing compound and leaf wax played Important roles against UV-B damages in the two grass weeds. The overall results suggest that weed community, competition and management will be altered by continuous ozone depletion. 相似文献
