    Notes: The transcription start site of mexR, encoding the repressor of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa mexAB-oprM multidrug efflux pump, has been determined by S1 mapping. One signal corresponding to a single promoter has been found, whereas three major signals were observed for the mexA messenger. Further analysis demonstrated that mexA has just one promoter that overlaps with the mexR promoter, with the other two signals observed by S1 probably being the consequence of RNA processing. Transcription of mexR and mexA from the aforementioned promoters is regulated by MexR. We show that bacterial growth phase affects expression of these promoters as well. mexR expression was higher at the exponential growth phase and declined afterwards, whereas mexA expression was triggered at the onset of the stationary growth phase. A model for the regulation of mexR and mexA expression, which includes an analysis of the interplay between both promoters, is proposed.

    Notes: Expression of low levels of the 2′,5′-linked oligoadenylate-dependent human RNase L, an enzyme induced by interferons, is highly toxic in Escherichia coli. This protein contains an ankyrin domain responsible for RNase L toxicity. The only known ORF in E. coli containing ankyrin repeats is yjaC in the acetate metabolic cluster. We have investigated if expression of mutant forms of RNase L interfere with metabolism of acetate in E. coli. Our findings demonstrate that E. coli expressing RNase L ankyrin repeats is unable to grow in medium containing acetate as the sole carbon source, while it can grow when expressing other domains of the protein. This defect correlates with a severe decrease in the levels of induction of enzymes in the glyoxylate bypass.

    Notes: It has been shown previously that gibberellins (GAs) mediate the phytochrome (Phy) control of cowpea (Vigna sinensis L.) epicotyl elongation induced by end-of-day (EOD)-far-red light (FR). In the present work, the EOD-FR effect on GA metabolism and GA levels in cowpea has been investigated. GA1, GA8, GA19 and GA20 were identified in epicotyls, and GA1, GA19, GA20 and GA29-catabolite in leaves of 6-day-old cowpea seedlings. The content of GA1 in the epicotyl paralleled the decrease of its growth rate, supporting the hypothesis that this is the GA bioactive in controlling cowpea epicotyl elongation. FR enhanced both the amount of [3H]GA1 in the epicotyl produced from applied [3H]GA20, and that of applied [3H]GA1 that remained unmetabolized in epicotyl explants, suggesting that Phy may regulate the inactivation of GA1. In agreement with this effect of light on GA1 metabolism, the contents of GA1 in the epicotyl remained higher in FR-treated than in R-treated explants. Moreover, in intact seedlings EOD-FR treatment increased both epicotyl elongation and GA1 content in the responsive epicotyl, whereas it was not altered in the leaves. These results show, for the first time, that photostable Phys modulate the stem elongation in light-grown plants by locally controlling the GA1 levels through regulation of its inactivation.

    Notes: Pea ovaries are induced to enter a fruit development pathway involving physiological and morphological changes by pollination or application of plant growth regulators. In the absence of these stimuli, overies stop growing and enter an alternative pathway of senesecence that leads to their degeneration. We have used two dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in search of molecular changes underlying fruit development and ovary senescence at the level of total accumulated proteins, newly synthesized proteins, and translatable, RNA populations. We have found changes in gene expression during the processes of ovary formation and ovary senescence. Stimuli that induce fruit set do not appreciably alter the overall patterns of synthesized proteins or translatable RNAs, indicating that fruit development is apparently a natural continuation of ovary formation. However, ovary senescence is an alternative pathway that involves the presence of new RNA messengers and proteins as well as the disappearance of others. These changes were detected earlier than any morphological or structural changes could be observed in the ovary.

    Notes: The histological development of fertilized ovules during fruit-set and development in pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Alaska) has been investigated. Killing the ovules on day 0 (anthesis) or day 1 prevented fruit-set and resulted in ovary degeneration. When the ovules were destroyed at later stages the ovaries developed, though the rate of growth of the pod was reduced significantly. Pollination in pea occurs normally the day before anthesis, and fertilization of the egg cell 32 to 48 h later. The first divisions of the zygote and endosperm nuclei started simultaneously (ca 48 h after pollination) but the endosperm developed more rapidly than the embryo; the embryo sac cavity was lined with free endosperm nuclei at the time of beginning suspensor elongation. Extracts of endosperm and ovule coats from ovules at day 7 after anthesis showed fruit-set activity in pea, the latter material having about 3 times more activity than the former per ovule basis. These results indicate that fertilization of the ovule is necessary for fruit-set in pea, and that compounds which induce fruit-set are probably synthesized in the ovules following fertilization.

    Notes: Samples of tracheal sap of Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck cv. Washington Navel were taken from field trees throughout the year and the nitrogen composition of the sap was determined. The nitrogenous fraction of the sap was composed mainly of free amino acids (92–97% of total nitrogen) and nitrates throughout the year. Proline was the most abundant amino acid during almost the entire cycle, and its concentration was especially high during the autumn and winter period. Nevertheless, a significant part (40–60%) of the total organic nitrogen was transported as arginine. Total nitrogen as well as amino acids and nitrates were maximal at spring flush. At spring flush and summer flush there was also a diversification of α-amino nitrogen among different amino acids. During the spring flush, nitrates, asparagine and γ-aminobutyric acid in the xylem sap seemed to have a radicular origin, whereas glutamic acid and arginine were released from the surrounding parenchyma. The results suggest a metabolic transformation in the wood parenchyma of nitrogenous compounds coming from the roots (including reduction of nitrates) and a turnover of different nitrogen metabolites between the xylem and surrounding cells.

    Notes: White light (WL) inhibited the stem elongation of etiolated pea (Pisum sativum L.) seedlings and the inhibition was partially reversed by the application of gibberellin A1 (GA1), the active GA in shoot growth. The amount of GA1 in the apical shoot was reduced to about 25% after 2 h of WL, and to a trace level after 4 h. The effect of light on GA1 content was reversed when the plants were transferred again to the dark after 6 h of WL. The effect of light on the expression of GA 20-oxidase and GA 3β-hydroxylase genes, coding for the last steps of GA1 biosynthesis, was also investigated. Contrary to expectations, the amounts of GA 20-oxidase and GA 3β-hydroxylase transcripts increased in the entire apical shoot of WL-irradiated seedlings, and this increase was negated in seedlings treated with GA1 before WL irradiation, probably as a result of negative feed-back regulation. The effect of WL on GA 20-oxidase transcripts was mainly localized in the apex (hook) whereas the effect on GA 3β-hydroxylase transcripts was mainly localized in the subapical tissues. Red and far-red light also enhanced the GA 20-oxidase transcript level, but not that of GA 3β-hydroxylase, suggesting that different photoreceptors are involved in the regulation of these genes by WL. The results presented indicate that the inhibition of stem elongation by light is due, at least partially, to a decrease of GA1 content by a still unknown mechanism. The increase of GA8 upon WL irradiation raises the possibility that an inactivation activity may be involved in the control of the content of GA1 by light.

    Notes: The regulation by phytochrome of stem elongation in light-grown plants depends on gibberellins (GAs). To investigate whether this is mediated by a change in GA metabolism, the effect of the GA biosynthesis inhibitor LAB 198 999 (an acylcyclohexadione derivative) on the end-of-day far-red (FR) response in cowpea (Vigna sinensis L.) epicotyl explants has been investigated. Growth of epicotyl explants of light-grown seedlings was enhanced when treated with far-red light before incubation in the dark (end-of-day FR effect). Low doses of LAB 198 999 (0.05 and 0.5 μg explant−1) reduced the effect of FR, whereas 5 to 50 μg explant−1 stimulated elongation of both red light (R)- and FR-treated epicotyl explants while nullifying the differences between R and FR treatments. In paclobutrazol-treated epicotyl explants, FR enhanced the response to applied GA1 and GA20, whereas LAB 198 999 increased the activity of GA1 and decreased that of GA20, [3H]Gibberellin A1, injected into the basal part of the epicotyl, was transported and metabolized mainly to [3H]GA8 in the apical 20 mm of the epicotyl. The conversion of [3H]GA1 to [3H]GA8 was dramatically reduced by both end-of-day FR treatments and LAB 198 999 applications. In addition, both treatments enhanced epicotyl elongation. It is proposed that the regulation of cowpea epicotyl growth by phytocrome is mediated, at least partially, by modifying GA1 degradation.
