Free amino acids (FAAs) and protein‐bound amino acids (PBAAs) in seeds play an important role in seed desiccation, longevity, and germination. However, the effect that water stress has on these two functional pools, especially when imposed during the crucial seed setting stage is unclear. To better understand these effects, we exposed Arabidopsis plants at the seed setting stage to a range of water limitation and water deprivation conditions and then evaluated physiological, metabolic, and proteomic parameters, with special focus on FAAs and PBAAs. We found that in response to severe water limitation, seed yield decreased, while seed weight, FAA, and PBAA content per seed increased. Nevertheless, the composition of FAAs and PBAAs remained unaltered. In response to severe water deprivation, however, both seed yield and weight were reduced. In addition, major alterations were observed in both FAA and proteome compositions, which indicated that both osmotic adjustment and proteomic reprogramming occurred in these naturally desiccation‐tolerant organs. However, despite the major proteomic alteration, the PBAA composition did not change, suggesting that the proteomic reprogramming was followed by a proteomic rebalancing. Proteomic rebalancing has not been observed previously in response to stress, but its occurrence under stress strongly suggests its natural function. Together, our data show that the dry seed PBAA composition plays a key role in seed fitness and therefore is rigorously maintained even under severe water stress, while the FAA composition is more plastic and adaptable to changing environments, and that both functional pools are distinctly regulated. 相似文献

The tryptophan decyclizing enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) was induced in human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) treated with human recombinant interferon-β (IFN-β) or interferon-γ (IFN-γ). Treated cells exhibited dose-dependent increases in IDO when assayed 48 hr after treatment. Cells exposed to IFN-γ were observed to exhibit consistently higher peak levels of IDO when compared with cells incubated in the presence of IFN-β. When IFN-β-treated cells were incubated in the presence of specified amounts of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or liposome-encapsulated muramyl tripeptide (MTP), peak IDO activity increased such that enzyme activity was comparable to maximal activity observed with IFN-γ-treated cells. LPS and MTP also upregulated IFN-γ-mediated IDO activity when suboptimal amounts of IFN-γ were used. When macrophages were costimulated with various concentrations of human recombinant interleukin 1α (IL-1α), along with either maximum-stimulating amounts of IFN-β or suboptimal amounts of IFN-γ, IDO activity was upregulated in a manner similar to results obtained using the microbial products as stimuli. While neither IL-1α or IL-1β was detected in culture supernatants from macrophages treated with either LPS or MTP (alone or in combination with IFN), IL-1α was detected in cell lysates of macrophages treated with these upregulators. Although neutralizing antibody to IL-1α abolished the upregulatory effect of exogenous IL-1α, it had no effect on upregulation by LPS or MTP. This suggests that although LPS and MTP may induce production of cell-associated IL-1α, upregulation of IDO activity by these agents is independent of IL-1α production and may be mediated through distinct pathways. 相似文献

低温对植物叶片中超氧物歧化酶、过氧化氢酶和过氧化氢水平的影响 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
番茄和鸡蛋果叶片中可提取的SOD活性不受低温的影响。在电泳谱带上SOD主同工酶带被氰化物而不被低温抑制,次同工酶带在低温下不稳定,且活性很低,它的变化不影响总的SOD活性。一些冷敏感植物叶片中CAT活性被低温抑制,而H_2O_3水平在低温下稳定或有增加,这可能使毒性更强的羟基离子(OH·)易于形成。 相似文献

The genus Ceratocystis sensu stricto includes important fungal pathogens of
woody and herbaceous plants. This genus is distinguished from species in
Ceratocystis sensu lato by the presence of Chalara anamorphs. Ascospore
shape has been used extensively in delineating Ceratocystis taxa, which
show a large variety of ascospore shapes. Sequence analysis of one region
of he 18S ribosomal RNA subunit and two regions of the 28S ribosomal RNA
subunit showed that there was a majority of multiple substitutions at
nucleotide sites and that there was a low transition/transversion ratio, T
= 0.72. Both of these results suggest that these are well established, old
species. Ascospore morphology, for the most part, was not congruent with
the molecular phylogeny, and the use of morphological characters may be
misleading in the taxonomy of these species.

The hematoxylin and eosin stain is the most common method used in anatomic pathology, yet it is a method about which technologists ask numerous questions. Hematoxylin is a natural dye obtained from a tree originally found in Central America, and is easily converted into the dye hematein. This dye forms coordination compounds with mordant metals, such as aluminum, and the resulting lake attaches to cell nuclei. Regressive formulations contain a higher concentration of dye than progressive formulations and may also contain a lower concentration of mordant. The presence of an acid increases the life of the solution and in progressive solutions may also affect selectivity of staining. An appendix lists more than 60 hemalum formulations and the ratio of dye to mordant for each. 相似文献
