Effects of exogenous B supply on growth, B accumulation and distribution of two navel orange cultivars

To investigate the effects of boron (B) on growth, B concentration and distribution of two navel orange cultivars, ‘Newhall’ (Citrus sinensis Osbeck) and ‘Skagg’s Bonanza’ (Citrus sinensis Osbeck) grafted on the rootstock trifoliate orange [Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.], B at five levels was exogenously supplied to 1-year-old grafted plants of both cultivars under greenhouse conditions. Plants were grown in sand:perlite (1:1, v/v) medium and were irrigated every 2 days with half-strength Hoagland’s No. 2 nutrient solutions containing different B, 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.25 and 2.50 mg l⁻¹ (0.25 and 2.50 mg l⁻¹ were considered as control and excess B treatment, respectively, and the other three B levels were considered as low B treatments). After treatments for 183 days, leaves (from basal, middle, upper parts of the shoots), stem of scion, stem of rootstock and root were separately sampled. Our results showed that plant growth (plant height, root volume and dry weights of various parts) was inhibited in response to low or excess B supplies in both cultivars. It was found that B concentrations in the upper leaves of both cultivars were substantially higher than those in the basal leaves when low concentrations (≤0.05 mg l⁻¹) of exogenous B were applied, suggesting that B was preferentially translocated to the upper-younger leaves to support their growth. Analysis of B distribution in different parts indicated that translocation of B from the root to the scion’s shoots (stems and leaves of scion) may be restricted upon exposure to low B conditions. When B was inadequately supplied, growth of ‘Skagg’s Bonanza’ was better than ‘Newhall’, implying that the former cultivar was more tolerant to low B status, which may be due to the higher efficiency of B translocation from the root to the scion’s shoots. However, when the plants were treated with excess B (2.50 mg l⁻¹), both cultivars showed a similar degree of B toxicity. The probability of scion–rootstock interactions in relation to the differential responses of growth and different efficiency of B translocation involved in the two orange cultivars following the long-term low B stress were discussed.     

成年沙田柚树试管嫁接及微繁殖的研究

分别以两类沙田柚侧芽为接穗、酸柚为砧木进行了试管嫁接,结果表明:不同嫁接方式、接穗大小以及不同激素处理均直接影响到试管嫁接成活率.对大田侧芽而言,接穗大小以茎尖为宜,1.0mg/LGA3或0.5mg/L6-BA处理效果较佳,嫁接成活率分别达50%和30%;对侧枝沙培萌发的侧芽而言,接穗大小以茎尖 1个节间为宜,2.0mg/LGA3或0.5mg/L6-BA处理效果较佳,嫁接成活率分别达90%和80%.在相同条件下,后者的嫁接成活率一般明显高于前者.两种沙田柚嫁接苗的试管微繁殖没有明显区别,在MS 6-BA0.1mg/L培养基上均可分化不定芽,继代的嫁接成活率可达90%以上.     

Salt-induced cooperativity in ATPase activity of plasma membrane-enriched fractions from cultured Citrus cells: kinetic evidence

ATPase activity was studied in plasma membrane-enriched fractions prepared from cultured Citrus sinensis L. cv. Osbeck cells. In general, properties of the plasma membrane ATPase from cultured cells, such as optimal pH and temperature. V_max and K_m were similar to those already observed in higher plants. The effects of high salt concentrations on ATPase activity were studied in membrane fractions derived from salt-sensitive and salt-tolerant cells grown in the presence or absence of salt. NaCl did not have an in vivo effect on V_max and the apparent K_m value for ATP. However, high concentrations of NaCl, or KCl, added in vitro, induced cooperativity in the enzyme and reduced the affinity of the enzyme for its substrate. Isoosmolar concentrations of sucrose or choline chloride failed to do so. Our results suggest that the plasma membrane ATPase of Citrus cells has more than one substrate-binding site on the native form of the enzyme which interact in the presence of salt and act independently in its absence.     

Artificial endosperm of Cleopatra tangerine zygotic embryos: a model for somatic embryo encapsulation

Synthetic seed technology may be of value in breeding programs and allow the propagation of many elite genotype-derived plants in a short time. In this work, a range of artificial endosperm treatments of Cleopatra tangerine zygotic embryos were evaluated for suitability for encapsulation of somatic embryos. Different complexing ions in the form of alginate capsules, zeolite as an ion exchanger and the relationship between capsule-nutrient gel on germination of zygotic embryos, were evaluated. Artificial endosperm assays showed that abscisic acid (1 μM) and mannitol (0.25 M) delayed germination and conversion of zygotic embryos, whereas amino acid supplements (proline, glutamic acid and arginine) accelerated the conversion process. An artificial endosperm was used to encapsulate somatic and zygotic embryos. After encapsulation, zygotic embryos germinated after four days of culture while somatic embryos germinated asynchronously after 20 days. Somatic embryo-derived plantlets showed greater vigour than zygotic embryo-derived plantlets. Results showed that this artificial endosperm is adequate for Cleopatra tangerine somatic embryo germination and conversion into plants. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Extraordinarily conserved chromosomal synteny of Citrus species revealed by chromosome‐specific painting

Reliable identification of individual chromosomes in eukaryotic species is the foundation for comparative chromosome synteny and evolutionary studies. Unfortunately, chromosome identification has been a major challenge for plants with small chromosomes, such as the Citrus species. We developed oligonucleotide‐based chromosome painting probes for all nine chromosomes in Citrus maxima (Pummelo). We were able to identify all C. maxima chromosomes in the same metaphase cells using multiple rounds of sequential fluorescence in situ hybridization with the painting probes. We conducted comparative chromosome painting analysis in six different Citrus and related species. We found that each painting probe hybridized to only a single chromosome in all other five species, suggesting that the six species have maintained a complete chromosomal synteny after more than 9 million years of divergence. No interchromosomal rearrangement was identified in any species. These results support the hypothesis that karyotypes of woody species are more stable than herbaceous plants because woody plants need a longer period to fix chromosome structural variants in natural populations.

Fluorescent carbon nanoparticles from Citrus sinensis as efficient sorbents for pollutant dyes

Here, we report a simple, green and economic process for the synthesis of highly fluorescent carbon nanoparticles (CPs) through low‐temperature carbonization of a fruit waste, Citrus sinensis peel. This approach allows the large‐scale production of aqueous CPs dispersions without any additives and post‐treatment processes. The as‐prepared CPs were of small particle size, exhibited bright blue fluorescence under UV irradiation (λ_max = 365 nm) with excellent colloidal stability in water. The chemical composition, structure and morphology of the as‐prepared CPs were analyzed using various spectroscopic techniques such as X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and raman spectroscopy. The formed CPs were turbostratic in nature, with a large number of functional groups on the surface. We explored the adsorption characteristics of the formed CPs for wastewater treatment. Because of the negative surface of the CPs, as evident from the zeta value, it is possible to use them for selective adsorption of the cationic dye methylene blue from a mixture of dyes. The equilibrium adsorption isotherm revealed that the Langmuir model better describes the adsorption process than the Freundlich model. As‐prepared CPs rapidly adsorbed ~84% of the methylene blue within 1 min and can be regenerated and used repeatedly. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
