    Notes: Abstract Excised stem sections of deepwater rice (Oryza sativa L.) containing the highest internode were used to study the induction of rapid internodal elongation by gibberellin (GA). It has been shown before that this growth response is based on enhanced cell division in the intercalary meristem and on increased cell elongation. In both GA-treated and control stem sections, the basal 5-mm region of the highest internode grows at the fastest rate. During 24 h of GA treatment, the internodal elongation zone expands from 15 to 35 mm. Gibberellin does not promote elongation of internodes from which the intercalary meristem has been excised. The orientation of cellulose microfibrils (CMFs) is a determining factor in cell growth. Elongation is favored when CMFs are oriented transversely to the direction of growth while elongation is limited when CMFs are oriented in the oblique or longitudinal direction. The orientation of CMFs in parenchymal cells of GA-treated and control internodes is transverse throughout the internode, indicating that CMFs do not restrict elongation of these cells. Changes in CMF orientation were observed in epidermal cells, however. In the basal 5-mm zone of the internode, which includes the intercalary meristem, CMFs of the epidermal cell walls are transversely oriented in both GA-treated and control stem sections. In slowly growing control internodes, CMF orientation changes to the oblique as cells are displaced from this basal 5-mm zone to the region above it. In GA-treated rapidly growing internodes, the reorientation of CMFs from the transverse to the oblique is more gradual and extends over the 35-mm length of the elongation zone. The CMFs of older epidermal cells are obliquely oriented in control and GA-treated internodes. The orientation of the CMFs parallels that of the cortical microtubules. This is consistent with the hypothesis that cortical microtubules determine the direction of CMF deposition. We conclude that GA acts on cells that have transversely oriented CMFs but does not promote growth of cells whose CMFs are already obliquely oriented at the start of GA treatment.

    Notes: Abstract.  Internodal growth of deepwater rice (Oryza sativa L.) can achieve rates of up to 10 mm h−1. In submergence-induced plants, gibberellic acid activates the cell division cycle first at the G1 → S phase transition with a subsequent increase in mitotic activity. The proteins cycA1;1 and cdc2Os-3 are the regulatory and catalytic subunits, respectively, of cyclin-dependent protein kinases (CDKs) which are central to cell cycle regulation. Both genes are regulated by gibberellic acid in a coordinate manner with transcripts accumulating in the G2 phase prior to the B2-type mitotic cyclins described previously (M. Sauter et al. 1995, Plant J 7: 623–632), suggesting a distinct role in regulating G2/M phase progression. Since cdc2Os-3 belongs to a group of CDKs that have no counterparts in animals, it may function in a plant-specific gibberellin-regulated cell division process.

    Notes: Abstract Excised stem sections of deepwater rice (Oryza sativa L., cv. Pin Gaew 56) containing the highest internode were used to study induction of rapid internodal elongation by gibberellin. It has been shown previously that this growth response is based on an increased cell production rate in the intercalary meristem and on increased cell elongation. Our investigations were aimed at establishing the temporal sequence of these GA-regulated processes. Cell sizes were determined by scanning electron microscopy, the phases of the cell cycle by flow cytometry, and DNA synthesis by [3H]thymidine incorporation. The lag time for the onset of gibberellic acid (GA3)-induced growth was 40 min. Treatment with GA3 promoted cell elongation in the intercalary meristem within 2 h. After 4 h of treatment with GA3, the fraction of meristematic cells in the G2 phase had declined, indicating that cells in the G2 phase had entered mitosis. Subsequent activation of DNA replication led to an overall increase in the cell-production rate. This was evident from an increase in the percentage of cells in the S phase and from enhanced incorporation of [3H]thymidine into DNA between 4 and 7 h of GA3 treatment. An increase in the final cell length contributed to the growth response after 7 h of GA3 application. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that gibberellin first promotes cell elongation in the intercalary meristem and that cell division is stimulated as a result of cell-growth.
