Analysis of the genotypic variation in radiocaesium uptake from soil

Young spinach (Spinacia oleracea L., cv. Subito) and wheat (Triticum aestivum, cv. Tonic) plants were hydroponically grown in eight different nutrient solutions containing ¹³⁷Cs. Ca, Mg, K and NH₄ concentrations were varied whilst anion concentrations were equal in all solutions. The large differences in potassium content between spinach and wheat were not reflected in similar differences in ¹³⁷Cs content at any nutritive treatment.Both crops were also grown in a potted podzolic soil contaminated with radiocaesium. This experiment was conducted in a phytotron at two climatic conditions (summer and winter) which differed in day length and light intensity. Wheat plants had higher ¹³⁷Cs levels than spinach at both conditions. The ¹³⁷Cs levels furthermore decreased during development. The ¹³⁷Cs plant/soil solution concentration ratio was lower at the summer than at the winter conditions.     

The Asc locus for resistance to Alternaria stem canker in tomato does not encode the enzyme aspartate carbamoyltransferase

The fungal disease resistance locus Alternaria stem canker (Asc) in tomato has been suggested to encode the enzyme aspartate carbamoyltransferase (AC Tase). To test this hypothesis a segment of the tomato ACTase gene was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using degenerate primers. The PCR product obtained was subsequently used to isolate an ACTase cDNA clone. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) linkage analysis showed that the ACTase gene and the Asc locus do not cosegregate. RFLP mapping positioned the ACTase gene on chromosome 11, while the Asc locus is located on chromosome 3. These results exclude the possibility that the ACTase protein is encoded by the Asc locus.     

Photoinhibition of isolated mesophyll cells from cold-hardened and non-hardened winter rye

Cold-hardened rye leaves have been shown to be more resistant to low temperature photoinhibition than non-hardened rye leaves. Isolated mesophyll cells from winter rye (Secale cereale L. cv. Musketeer) were exposed to photoinhibitory light conditions to estimate the importance of leaf morphology and leaf optical properties in the resistance of cold-hardened rye leaves to photoinhibition. Cold-hardened rye cells showed more resistance to photoinhibition than non-hardened rye cells when monitored with chlorophyll a variable to maximal fluorescence ratio (F_v/F_m). Thus, leaf morphology does not contribute to the resistance of cold-hardened rye leaves to low temperature photoinhibition. However, cold-hardened and non-hardened rye cells showed a similar extent of photoinhibition when photsynthetic CO₂ fixation rates were measured. They also showed the same capacity to recover from photoinhibition. During both photoinhibition and recovery, F_v/F_m and light limited CO₂ fixation rates showed different kinetics. We propose that inactivation and subsequent reactivation during recovery of some light activated Calvin cycle enzymes explain the greater extent of photoinhibition of light limited CO₂ fixation and its faster recovery compared to F_v/F_m kinetics during photoinhibition.

钙对不同成熟期番茄果实的PG活性及其合成的影响

本文研究了钙处理不同成熟期番茄果实对果壁组织中钙含量与转化、多聚半乳糖醛酸酶(PG)活性与 PG 合成的影响。结果表明,钙处理绿熟期的番茄果实可使总钙和可溶性钙含量明显增加,并较多转化为结合钙;后期处理,进入和转化的钙都减少。同样,钙处理愈早,对果实 PG 活性的抑制愈强,绿熟期处理可完全抑制 PG 活性。凝胶电泳结合钌红染色,证明绿熟期果实无 PG,PG 是在果实成熟过程中新合成的。钙处理愈早,对 PG 合成的抑制愈强,绿熟期钙处理可完全抑制 PG 合成。     

Frequent spontaneous deletions of Ri T-DNA in Agrobacterium rhizogenes transformed potato roots and regenerated plants

The presence of T-DNA was examined by Southern blot analysis in 16 regenerated shoot lines derived from 6 Agrobacterium rhizogenes-transformed root clones of Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Bintje.TR-DNA, present in regenerated shoot lines from 3 out of 6 root clones was correlated with the presence of opines. One root clone produced opines up to 2.5 years of subculture. However, plant regeneration from and prolonged subculturing of this root clone resulted in loss of opine synthesis, caused by deletion of TR-DNA.TL-DNA inserted at 1 to 5 independent loci was found in 14 of the 16 shoot lines. Surprisingly, 1 to 2 additional insertions next to similar insertions of TL-DNA were found in shoot lines from the same root clone (named sister shoot lines) in 2 out of 4 root clones. Nevertheless, this did not result in gross phenotypic variation between sister shoot lines. Another root clone regenerated 1 shoot line with an Ri phenotype, containing 1 insertion of TL-DNA, and 2 shoot lines with a normal Bintje phenotype without TL-DNA. The 5th root clone showed no difference between sister shoot lines and the 6th root clone produced only 1 shoot line.We conclude that during prolonged root culture and during shoot regeneration from root clones deletion of TL- and TR-DNA insertions can occur. The significance of the frequency of deletion of T-DNA of the Ri plasmid is discussed.
