Decapitated segments from maize (Zea mays L.) coleoptiles orientedvertically in an upright position show a strong spontaneousgrowth response (SGR) 3 h after decapitation. The latent periodof the SGR is markedly reduced when these segments are orientedin an inverted position. Coleoptile segments with intact tipsexhibit a weak and transient SGR in the vertical upright orientation.However, in the inverted orientation, these segments show atypical SGR. The data are inconsistent with the current hypothesisthat the SGR is caused by a time-dependent increase in tissuesensitivity to auxin. The parallel increase in membrane potentialdifference and growth rate during the time-course of the SGRindicates a possible role for PM H+-ATPase in the establishmentof the SGR in maize coleoptile segments. Key words: Auxin, spontaneous growth response, membrane potential, plasma membrane H+-ATPase, Zea mays L. 相似文献

Uridine strongly stimulated adventitious root formation in stem cuttings of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) and common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). A dose response curve of uridine induced rooting showed that the optimum concentration of uridine was 0.1 µM. At all concentrations employed, uridine had no significant effect on root elongation. The rooting response of stem cuttings to the optimal concentration of indole-3-butyric acid (10 µM) in combination with 0.1 µM uridine did not significantly differ from their response to either of these compounds when applied alone. However, the rooting response of the cuttings to sub-optimal IBA (0.01 µM) was significantly stimulated by uridine. These findings suggested that uridine may have stimulated rooting by increasing the sensitivity of the rooting tissue to auxin. 相似文献

It has been previously shown that glucose transporter Glut-1 expression was detectable by immunostaining in tissue sections from anaplastic carcinoma, but not in normal thyroid tissue. Using human thyroid anaplastic carcinoma cells, we studied the mechanism by which Glut-1 molecules are translocated from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell surface. The contribution of N- and O-linked glycans for the translocation and activity of Glut-1 transporter is emphasized. The inhibition of N-glycosylation with tunicamycin (TM) led to a 50% decrease in glucose transport while glycosylated and unglycosylated forms of Glut-1 were found at the cell surface. However, the inhibition of N-linked oligosaccharide processing with deoxymannojirimycin (dMJ) and swainsonine (SW) influenced neither the intracellular trafficking nor the activity of the transporter. On the other hand, Glut-1 bound to the O-linked glycan-specific lectin jacalin and the O-glycosylation inhibitor benzyl-N-acetylgalactosamine dramatically inhibited glucose transport. These results show that O- and N-linked oligosaccharides arbored by Glut-1 are essential for glucose transport in anaplastic carcinoma cells. The quantitative and qualitative alterations of Glut-1 glycosylation and the increase in glucose transport are associated with the anaplastic phenotype of human thyroid cells. 相似文献

We evaluated total adiponectin, high-molecular weight (HMW), medium-molecular weight (MMW), low-molecular weight (LMW) adiponectin subfractions, clinical parameters, routine lab parameters, lipids, metabolic, inflammatory biomarkers, and intima-media thickness (IMT) of common carotid arteries in 70 obese juveniles and adolescents with preatherosclerosis and 55 normal weight controls of similar age and gender distribution. Compared with the controls, the obese probands had a significantly increased IMT (P < 0.001) and elevated ultra-sensitive C-reactive protein (P < 0.001) indicating early vascular burden. Total and HMW adiponectin were significantly decreased in the obese cohort. The ratio between HMW and total adiponectin was significantly decreased in obese probands whereas the LMW/total adiponectin ratio was increased. Overall, total-, HMW, and MMW adiponectin were significantly negatively correlated with carotid IMT. The HMW/total adiponectin ratio correlated significantly negatively, and the LMW/total adiponectin ratio significantly positively with the IMT. Furthermore, HMW adiponectin was significantly positively correlated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and serum apolipoprotein A1, and negatively with BMI, triglycerides, homeostatic model assessment (HOMA)-index, leptin, liver transaminases, and uric acid. This remained stable after controlling for gender. Multiple regression analysis of body measures and all other lab parameters showed the strongest correlation between HMW adiponectin and carotid IMT (beta = -0.35, P < 0.001). Taken together, our study provides the first evidence that preatherosclerosis in obese juveniles and adolescents is associated with altered subfractions of adiponectin, whereas after multiple testing the HMW subfraction showed a better correlation to IMT compared with total adiponectin. 相似文献

The entomopathogenic fungus, Verticillium lecanii (Zimm.) Viégas is a widespread hyphomycete consisting of a heterogeneous species aggregate. Conidia survival may be effected by environmental factors or by bio-pesticides and chemical products used to protect crop plants. In this research compatibility of mentioned fungi with imidachlopride, flufenoxuron, teflubenzuron+phozalone, endosulfan, amitraz, and effect of these pesticides on vegetative growth of the fungus were studied. The formulations of pesticides were tested in three concentration (mean concentration-MC, half MC and twice the MC) and using Duncan multiple range test, treatment were grouped. Effects of the pesticides on V. lecanii vegetative growth in concerned results have shown that almost all formulations studies significantly inhibition fungal development. The results indicated that flufenoxuron (at three concentrations), teflubenzuron+phozalone (at MC and twice the MC), induced levels of vegetative growth inhibition higher than 68%. Only data on amitraz and imidachlopride (at half MC) were not significantly different from the control, which is indicated the compatible formulations with V. lecanii. These formulations could be used simultaneously with this entomopathogenic in integrated pest management. 相似文献

The native coccinellid Adalia bipunctata (L.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) may be an alternative to exotic species like Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) for the biological control of aphid pests in Europe. The availability of adequate factitious or artificial foods may help optimize its mass production. This study examines the nutritional value of Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Phycitidae) eggs plus bee pollen, pea aphids Acyrthosiphum pisum (Harris) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and mixtures of bee pollen and cysts of Artemia franciscana Kellogg (Branchiopoda: Artemiidae) and/or a lyophilized artificial diet based on bovine meat and liver. Reproducing adults of A. bipunctata were obtained on all diets tested, but immature survival, adult weights, development times and reproductive rates differed among diets. Over 84% of first instars fed on E. kuehniella eggs plus pollen or aphids survived to adulthood. Feeding predator larvae on pollen combined only with A. franciscana cysts or artificial diet yielded 40–55% immature survival, but survival increased to 74% when all of these components were mixed. Adult weights of A. bipunctata on the mixtures of pollen, A. franciscana cysts and/or artificial diet were 55–75% of those on aphids or on E. kuehniella eggs plus pollen. Lifetime fecundity was superior on E. kuehniella eggs plus pollen (1,864 eggs) to that on the other diets (264–889 eggs). The use of mixtures of plant and animal foods for A. bipunctata and other predators may contribute to increasing the cost-effectiveness of commercial mass production by reducing inputs of natural prey like aphids, or of nutritious but expensive factitious foods like lepidopteran eggs. 相似文献

The initial events predisposing to loss of tolerance in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are largely unknown, as are the events that precipitate the transition from preclinical to overt disease. We hypothesized that induction of murine SLE would require tipping the balance between tolerance and immunity in two ways: 1) an immunogen that could take advantage of apoptotic cells as a scaffold for epitope spread, and 2) an immune activator that would generate a strong and persistent T cell response to the inciting immunogen. We show that immunization of C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice with human beta(2)-glycoprotein I, an apoptotic cell-binding protein, in the presence of LPS induces a long-lived, potent response to beta(2)-glycoprotein I that results in epitope spread to multiple SLE autoantigens. SLE-specific autoantibodies emerged in a sequential manner that recapitulated the order seen in human SLE. Moreover, immunized mice developed overt glomerulonephritis closely resembling human lupus nephritis. 相似文献
