We have attempted to improve the viability of cereal mesophyll protoplasts by pretreatment of leaves with dl-α-difluoromethylarginine (DFMA), a specific `suicide' inhibitor of the enzyme (arginine decarboxylase) responsible for their osmotically induced putrescine accumulation. Leaf pretreatment with DFMA before a 6 hour osmotic shock caused a 45% decrease of putrescine and a 2-fold increase of spermine titer. After 136 hours of osmotic stress, putrescine titer in DFMA-pretreated leaves increased by only 50%, but spermidine and spermine titers increased dramatically by 3.2- and 6-fold, respectively. These increases in higher polyamines could account for the reduced chlorophyll loss and enhanced ability of pretreated leaves to incorporate tritiated thymidine, uridine, and leucine into macromolecules. Pretreatment with DFMA significantly improved the overall viability of the protoplasts isolated from these leaves. The results support the view that the osmotically induced rise in putrescine and blockage of its conversion to higher polyamines may contribute to the lack of sustained cell division in cereal mesophyll protoplasts, although other undefined factors must also play a major role. 相似文献

Protoplasts obtained from oat leaves floated on buffer for 18hr show high nuclease activity, low rates of incorporation ofamino acids and nucleosides into macromolecules, and high ratesof spontaneous lysis. Addition to the leaf flotation mediumof the senescence retardants cycloheximide or kinetin, of thedibasic amino acids L-lysine or L-arginine, or of the diaminesputrescine or cadaverine reduces the rise in nuclease activityand spontaneous lysis of protoplasts, and increases the rateor extent of presumptive protein and nucleic acid synthesis.The diamines, which also retard chlorophyll degradation in theexcised leaves, appear to act both on the membrane and on systemscontrolling macromolecular synthesis and breakdown. By contrast,the senescence promoter L-serine hastens chlorophyll degradationfrom excised leaves and does not improve protoplasts derivedfrom those leaves. (Received July 4, 1977; ) 相似文献

Galston , Arthur W., Ravindar Kaur , Nirmala Maheshwari , and Satish C. Maheshwari . (Yale U., New Haven, Conn.) Pectin-protein interaction as a basis for au xin-induced alteration of protein heat coagulability. Amer. Jour. Bot. 50(5): 487–494. Illus. 1963.—The in vivo administration of 2,4-D or other auxins to etiolated or green pea stem sections results in a decreased heat coagulability of the macromolecular components of the particle-free cytoplasm of these tissues. Addition of auxin to homogenates is without effect. Gibberellins alone are also without effect, but may enhance the in vivo action of auxin. The altered heat coagulability may become apparent as soon as 4–6 hr after auxin administration, though longer induction periods are sometimes necessary. The auxin eff'ect is prevented by general metabolic inhibitors and most effectively by ethionine, whose inhibitory action is completely reversed by methionine. Electrophoresis on paper and on starch revealed no major differences between the proteins of control and auxin-treated stems. Approximately 90% of the weight of the heat coagulum can be accounted for as protein; small quantities of nucleic acids, lipids, polysaccharides and pectins are also present. The “soluble pectin” content of the homogenate before heat coagulation is at least doubled by auxin treatment. This increase is also inhibited by ethionine, whoso effect is annulled by methionine. Addition of citrus pectin to control homogenates stabilizes the proteins against heat coagulation. It thus appears likely that the effect of auxin on the heat coagulability of the cytoplasmic proteins can be explained through effects on the metabolism of the materials which have been called “cold-water-soluble pectins.” 相似文献

Brown plant hopper (BPH) is one of the major destructive insect pests of rice, causing severe yield loss. Thirty-two BPH resistance genes have been identified in cultivated and wild species of rice Although, molecular mechanism of rice plant resistance against BPH studied through map-based cloning, due to non-existence of NMR/crystal structures of Bph14 protein, recognition of leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain and its interaction with different ligands are poorly understood. Thus, in the present study, in silico approach was adopted to predict three-dimensional structure of LRR domain of Bph14 using comparative modelling approach followed by interaction study with jasmonic and salicylic acids. LRR domain along with LRR-jasmonic and salicylic acid complexes were subjected to dynamic simulation using GROMACS, individually, for energy minimisation and refinement of the structure. Final binding energy of jasmonic and salicylic acid with LRR domain was calculated using MM/PBSA. Free-energy landscape analysis revealed that overall stability of LRR domain of Bph14 is not much affected after forming complex with jasmonic and salicylic acid. MM/PBSA analysis revealed that binding affinities of LRR domain towards salicylic acid is higher as compared to jasmonic acid. Interaction study of LRR domain with salicylic acid and jasmonic acid reveals that THR987 of LRR form hydrogen bond with both complexes. Thus, THR987 plays active role in the Bph14 and phytochemical interaction for inducing resistance in rice plant against BPH. In future, Bph14 gene and phytochemicals could be used in BPH management and development of novel resistant varieties for increasing rice yield. 相似文献

We studied the effects of various polyamines on bud regeneration in thin-layer tissue explants of vegetative and floweringNicotiana tabacum L. cv. Wisconsin 38, in which application of exogenous spermidine (Spd) to vegetative cultures causes the initiation and
development of some flower buds (Kaur-Sawhney et al. 1988 Planta173, 282). We now show that this effect is dependent on the time and duration of application, Spd being required from the start
of the cultures for about three weeks. Neither putrescine nor spermine is effective in the concentration range tested. Spermidine
cannot replace kinetin (N6-furfurylaminopurine) in cultures at the time of floral bud formation, but once the buds are initiated in the presence of
kinetin, addition of Spd to the medium greatly increases the number of floral buds that develop into normal flowers. Addition
of Spd to similar cultures derived from young, non-flowering plants did not cause the appearance of floral buds but rather
induced a profusion of vegetative buds. These results indicate a morphogenetic role of Spd in bud differentiation.

Thin longitudinal sections cut from pedicels of fifteen cultivars of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) were grown in vitro on Murashige-Skoog medium supplemented with various concentrations of different auxins and cytokinins. Isatin (an auxin precursor slowly converted to an active auxin) was the most effective source of auxin for the formation of buds without prior root formation, while zeatin was the most effective cytokinin for growth and development of the buds. Flower buds and ripe fruits developed consistently from explants of the cultivar Pixie Hybrid II treated with 10 M isatin plus 3 M zeatin as the cytokinin. Fruits developed parthenocarpically, grew to a diameter of about 15 mm, ripened promptly, and possessed normal color and flavor.Abbreviations BAP

Inhibition of sodium-dependent glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2), the transporter that is responsible for renal re-uptake of glucose, leads to glucosuria in animals. SGLT-mediated glucosuria provides a mechanism to shed excess plasma glucose to ameliorate diabetes-related hyperglycemia and associated complications. The current study demonstrates that the proper relationship of a 4′-substituted benzyl group to a β-1C-phenylglucoside is important for potent and selective SGLT2 inhibition. The lead C-arylglucoside (7a) demonstrates superior metabolic stability to its O-arylglucoside counterpart (4) and it promotes glucosuria when administered in vivo. 相似文献
