Abstract: | In a culture system in which single cells isolated from the mesophyll of Zinnia elegans L. differentiate to tracheary elements (TEs), two inhibitors of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (EC 4.3.1.5), L-α-aminooxy-β-phenylpropionic acid (AOPP) at 10 μM inhibited lignification without reducing the number of TEs formed. These inhibitors caused intracellular changes in peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) activities. The inhibitors increased the activity of peroxidases bound to the cell walls and especially the activity of peroxidase bound ionically to the cell walls. In contrast, the activity of extracellular peroxidase decreased. There were five isoenzymes, P1-P5, in the ionically bound peroxidase of cultured Zinnia cells. Among the isoenzymes, P4 and P5 appeared to be specific for TE differentation. Treatment with AOPP and AIP resulted in increases in the activities of P2, P4 and P5 isoenzymes, with the most prominent increase in P5 activity. The addition of lignin precursors, including coniferyl alcohol, to the AOPP-treated cells restored lignification, and suppressed the alteration of peroxidase isoenzyme patterns caused by AOPP. The relationship between the wall-bound peroxidases and lignification during TE differentiation is discussed in the light of these results. |
