    Notes: Abstract The transition from primary dormancy to secondary dormancy was examined using upper cocklebur (Xanthium pennsylvanicum Wallr.) seeds. The non-after-ripened seeds with primary dormancy responded to chilling, anoxia, KCN, and NaN3 with an increase in germination. However, their maximal responses to these treatments only occurred after a period of water imbibition, probably a reflection of the increasing growth potential of the axial tissue which was accompanied by the increase in the capacities of respiration and ethylene production. On the other hand, the establishment of secondary dormancy was accompanied by a decrease in respiration and ethylene production of seeds, and in the growth potential of both axial and cotyledonary tissues. The decrease in growth potential of these tissues occurred regardless of whether they were excised from after-ripened seeds or non-after-ripened seeds. It is inferred that the primary dormancy of cocklebur seeds is a state maintained in un-germinated seeds for a long time through a spontaneous transition to secondary dormancy.

    Notes: In the cotyuledonary tissue of cocklebur (Xanthium pennsylvanicum Wallr.) seeds, AIB (α- aminoisobutyric acid) inhibited not only the endogenous ethylene production but also the ACC (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid)-dependent and IAA-induced ones. The inhibition of the endogenous ethylene production by AIB was accompanied by the accumulation of ACC in the tissue. Thus AIB may act as a competitive inhibitor of the conversion of ACC to ethylene and thereby inhibit ethylene production. The promotion of ethylene production by D-isomers of some amino acids, such as phenylalanine, valine, threonine and methionine was accompained by and increse in the ACC content, the degree of which was similar to that of the stimulation of ethylene production. Moreover, these D-amino acids stimulated the conversion of exogenously applied ACC to ethylene. The corresponding L-isomers failed to produce these effects. It seems likely that D-amino-acid-stimulated ethylene production results from the increases of both the biosynthesis and degradation of ACC. Only for tryptophan did both D- and L-isomers cause an increase in ethylene production and in ACC content in the segments. The mechanism of stimulation of ethylene production by the tryptophen isomers is possibly due to their conversion to IAA in the cotyledonary tissue.

    Rhythmic Behavior in Germination of Cocklebur Seeds (1978)

    Notes: Non-dormant, lower seeds of cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum Wallr.) germinated with unimodal flush after 20 and 36 h from the start of water imbibition at 33 and 23°C, respectively. At 28°C, however, germination occurred bimodally, the time of each peak coinciding with that at 23 and 33°C. This type of germination behavior was induced even at 33°C, when the seeds were contacted with some osmotica. Further, the application of different osmotica at 28°C caused a rhythmic multimodal germination with a period of about 16 h. It was suggested that an endogenous rhythmicity may be involved in the control of cocklebur seed germination.

    α-Aminoisabutyric acid, propyl gallate and cobalt ion and the mode of inhibition of ethylene production by cotyledonary segments of cocklebur seeds (1983)

    Notes: Using cotyledonary segments of cocklebur (Xanthium pennsylvanicum Wallr.) seeds, the inhibitory effect of α-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) on ethylene production was compared with that of propyl gallate and CoCl2. Of these inhibitors only AIB was effective in causing the accumulation of endogenous free 1-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylic acid (ACC) in the tissue. The degree of inhibition of ethylene production by AIB decreased markedly with increasing concentrations of pre-loaded ACC, while the inhibition by propyl gallate and CoCl2 changed little. Kinetic analysis showed that AIB competitively inhibited the conversion of pre-loaded ACC to ethylene, but propyl gallate and CoCl2 did not. Short-chain organic acids and analogues of AIB, such as acetic, propionic, butyric and cyclopropanecarboxylic acids, did not inhibit ethylene production by the segments. Thus, additional support for the competitive mode of inhibitory action of AIB on the conversion of free ACC to ethylene was provided.A conjugated hydrolysable ACC was found to be present in abundance in cotyledons of this seed. However, its content in the tissue was hardly affected by treatment with the three inhibitors and by administration of exogenous ACC, suggesting that the conjugated ACC was not directly involved in ethylene production.

    No contribution of the pentose phosphate pathway in dormancy-breaking of cocklebur seeds (1980)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: The role of the oxidative pentose phosphate (PP) pathway in the dormancy-breaking of cocklebur (Xanthium pennsylvanicum Wallr.) seeds was investigated. D-[1-14C]-glucose or D-[6-14C]-glucose was fed to dormant and non-dormant lower seeds or to their axial or cotyledonary segments which were imbibed for different durations, and C6/C1 ratios of respired 14CO2 as an index of the PP pathway activity were calculated. Contrary to expectation, there was no significant difference in the C6/C1 ratios between the dormant and non-dormant seeds or segments during a water imbition period of 24 h, although the PP pathway actually operated already in an early stage of water imbibition. Also concerning the activities of G6PDH and 6PGDH, the key enzymes of this pathway, no difference between the dormant and non-dormant seeds was found. It was thus concluded that, unlike other seeds, there is no contribution of the PP pathway to the regulation of dormancy of the cocklebur seed.

    Protein Synthesis in Dormant and Non-Dormant Cocklebur Seed Segments (1979)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Using the axial and cotyledonary segments of lower cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum Wallr.) seeds, protein synthesis as shown by incorporation of radioactive leucine was examined in relation to their dormant status. During the first 9 h of water imbibition, the protein synthesis was higher in the dormant axes than in the non-dormant, after- ripened ones. When imbibed for more than 12 h non-dormant axes had a higher activity than dormant ones. This was also the case with the cotyledonary segments.Cyctoheximide, an inhibitor of protein synthesis, blocked protein synthesis in the axial tissue regardless of its dormant status, and thereby inhibited germination of the non-dormant seeds. In the dormant seeds, however, cycloheximide at 3 mM slightly stimulated germination without stimulating the C2H4 production. Based on these results, it is suggested that in cocklebur seeds there may be some proteinaceous system which is involved in the maintenance of dormancy.

    Notes: Abstract Ethylene production by axial and cotyledonary tissues excised from Xanthium pennsylvanicum Wallr. seeds was markedly (up to 5-fold) stimulated by the D-isomers of phenylalanine, valine, leucine, threonine, methionine and eithionine while the L-isomers caused no such effect. Responsiveness of these seed tissues to D-methionine appeared soon after the beginning of imbibition, reached a maximum after 6–12 and 12–24 h for the axial and cotyledonary tissues, respectively, and then decreased sharply. D-Phenylalanine and D-methionine also stimulated ethylene production in seed tissues of X. canadense Mill. and in cotyledonary segments from seeds of Helianthus annuus L., Cucurbita moschata Duch. and Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek. The endogeneous ethylene production and the D-amino-acid-stimulated ethylene production by the seed segments was strongly inhibited by aminoethoxyvinyl glycine, a potent inhibitor of ethylene synthesis from L-methionine.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of 1,1-dimethyl-4-(phenylsulfonyl)semicarbazide (DPSS) on the in vitro activities of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) oxidase and ACC synthase isolated from senescing carnation petals were investigated. In contrast to a previous proposal, DPSS at 1 mM did not inhibit the in vitro activity of ACC oxidase. It was confirmed that DPSS does not inhibit ACC synthase activity. DPSS probably does not exert its inhibitory action on ethylene production by a direct action on ACC oxidase and ACC synthase, but by some unknown action.

    Notes: Abstract Exposure to ozone at 1 µl l−1 for 6 h induced ethylene production in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Hitomebore) leaves. The stimulation of ethylene production was detectable 2 h after the start of the exposure to ozone, and lasted for 6 h after the exposure. A 429-bp cDNA fragment encoding ACC oxidase was obtained by RT-PCR from ozone-treated rice leaves. Its nucleotide sequence and deduced amino-acid sequence had 97.2% and 94.4% identity, respectively, to those of OS1A1COX, which was previously obtained from deepwater rice. The abundance of the cDNA increased in accordance with the induction of ethylene production by the exposure to ozone.

    Notes: Abstract 1,1-Dimethyl-4-(phenylsulfonyl)semicarbazide (DPSS)inhibited ethylene productionin carnation flowers during natural senescence, butdid not inhibit the ethyleneproduction induced by exogenous ethylene in carnationflowers, by indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in mungbean hypocotylsegments and by wounding in winter squashmesocarp tissue. These findings suggested that DPSSdoes not directly inhibit ethylene biosynthesis fromL-methionine to ethylenevia S-adenosyl-L-methionine and1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate. During naturalsenescence of carnation flowers, abscisic acid (ABA)was accumulated in the pistil and petals 2 days beforethe onset of ethylene production in the flower, andthe ABA content remained elevated until the onset ofethylene production. Application of exogenousABA to cut flowers from the cut stem end caused arapid increase in the ABA content in flower tissuesand promoted ethylene production in the flowers. These results were in agreement with the previousproposal that ABA plays a crucial role in theinduction of ethylene production during natural senescence incarnation flowers. DPSS preventedthe accumulation of ABA in both the pistil and petals,suggesting that DPSS exerted its inhibitory action onethylene production in naturally-senescing carnationflowers through the effect on the ABA-related process.
