Arabidopsis was grown in a 12, 8, 4 or 3 h photoperiod to investigate how metabolism and growth adjust to a decreased carbon supply. There was a progressive increase in the rate of starch synthesis, decrease in the rate of starch degradation, decrease of malate and fumarate, decrease of the protein content and decrease of the relative growth rate. Carbohydrate and amino acids levels at the end of the night did not change. Activities of enzymes involved in photosynthesis, starch and sucrose synthesis and inorganic nitrogen assimilation remained high, whereas five of eight enzymes from glycolysis and organic acid metabolism showed a significant decrease of activity on a protein basis. Glutamate dehydrogenase activity increased. In a 2 h photoperiod, the total protein content and most enzyme activities decreased strongly, starch synthesis was inhibited, and sugars and amino acids levels rose at the end of the night and growth was completely inhibited. The rate of starch degradation correlated with the protein content and the relative growth rate across all the photoperiod treatments. It is discussed how a close coordination of starch turnover, the protein content and growth allows Arabidopsis to avoid carbon starvation, even in very short photoperiods. 相似文献

Pericarp alpha‐amylase activity in wheat has largely been ignored as a potential cause of low Hagberg falling number (HFN) in the UK, because pericarp alpha‐amylase enzymes have been thought too temperature‐sensitive to affect HFN and are usually degraded by harvest. Nevertheless, there are several circumstances where immature grains may be present in harvested grain. Therefore, we tested the hypotheses that pericarp alpha‐amylase enzymes in immature grains could lower HFN, but also that inactivation of the enzymes during drying and storage could ameliorate the effect. The first hypothesis was tested by addition of large amounts of pericarp alpha‐amylase activity from freeze‐dried, defrosted or fresh green grains to high HFN flours of low alpha‐amylase activity, followed by HFN measurement. Enzyme assay and HFN analysis assessed the effect of drying on pericarp alpha‐amylase activity after different storage treatments. Addition of pericarp alpha‐amylase, from all three sources, to high HFN flours caused an exponential decrease in HFN. A drop in HFN from over 470 s to below 250 s resulted from addition of 5–10% by weight of green grains. Between 35–70% of the α‐AMY‐2 activity in immature grains was eliminated by air‐drying at 20°C over 8–10 days, although the residual activity could still lower HFN. Thus, pericarp alpha‐amylase activity may be a cause of low HFN in some UK wheat crops. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Some of the most pronounced ecological responses to climatic warming are expected to occur in polar marine regions, where temperature increases have been the greatest and sea ice provides a sensitive mechanism by which climatic conditions affect sympagic (i.e., with ice) species. Population-level effects of climatic change, however, remain difficult to quantify. We used a flexible extension of Cormack-Jolly-Seber capture-recapture models to estimate population size and survival for polar bears (Ursus maritimus), one of the most ice-dependent of Arctic marine mammals. We analyzed data for polar bears captured from 1984 to 2004 along the western coast of Hudson Bay and in the community of Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. The Western Hudson Bay polar bear population declined from 1,194 (95% CI = 1,020-1,368) in 1987 to 935 (95% CI = 794-1,076) in 2004. Total apparent survival of prime-adult polar bears (5–19 yr) was stable for females (0.93; 95% CI = 0.91-0.94) and males (0.90; 95% CI = 0.88-0.91). Survival of juvenile, subadult, and senescent-adult polar bears was correlated with spring sea ice breakup date, which was variable among years and occurred approximately 3 weeks earlier in 2004 than in 1984. We propose that this correlation provides evidence for a causal association between earlier sea ice breakup (due to climatic warming) and decreased polar bear survival. It may also explain why Churchill, like other communities along the western coast of Hudson Bay, has experienced an increase in human-polar bear interactions in recent years. Earlier sea ice breakup may have resulted in a larger number of nutritionally stressed polar bears, which are encroaching on human habitations in search of supplemental food. Because western Hudson Bay is near the southern limit of the species' range, our findings may foreshadow the demographic responses and management challenges that more northerly polar bear populations will experience if climatic warming in the Arctic continues as projected. 相似文献

Rates of Axial Transport of 11C and 14C in Characean Cells: Faster than Visible Streaming? 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Movements of 11C and 14C in N. translucens occur at rates twoto five times greater than those of visually observed streaming.Like cytoplasmic streaming, longitudinal tracer movement isstopped reversibly by action potentials, irreversibly by N-ethylmaleimide(NEM) and is unaffected by colchicine (colch), suggesting thatboth processes share a common mechanism. Colchicine causes anincreased loading delay time. In both N. translucens and C. corallina the activity of 11Cand 14C at the nodes shows a sharp discontinuity: it is lowon the feed side of the node and high at the node itself. Thissuggests that transport across plasmodesmata may be active. Key words: Axial-carbon transport, Cytoplasmic streaming, Carbon 相似文献
