    Specificity of 1-triacontanol as a plant growth stimulator and inhibition of its effect by other long-chain compounds (1979)

    Notes: Abstract The effect of several analogs of 1-triacontanol (TRIA), differing in C-chain length (16–32), the position of the hydroxyl group and the terminal functional group, were tested alone and in combination with TRIA on the growth of rice (Oryza sativa L.), maize (Zea mays L.) and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) seedlings. Applied alone, none of the compounds caused an increase in growth; thus, chain length (30 C) and presence and position (terminal) of the hydroxyl group appear to be specific for the growth-promoting activity of TRIA. When applied simultaneously with TRIA, all analogs inhibited the response to the latter in all three test plants, whether applied in the nutrient solution, as foliar spray or by seed soaking. 1-Octacosanol inhibited the response of rice seedlings to 2.3 x 10-8 M TRIA at concentrations as low as 2.4 x 10-12 M. Thus preparations of TRIA and application equipment must be free from trace amounts of other long-chain compounds if they are to be used to increase plant growth.

    Notes: Abstract The association of NPA with particulate material from corn coleoptile homogenates and the dissociation of the complexes formed are characterized. Using a filtration method, a single rate constant for the association at 0° C was determined as 2.7×10-6 M-1 min-1, and for the dissociation of the complex a rate constant of 0.086 min-1 was obtained with the same method. From these a dissociation constant of the complex of 3.4×10-8 M can be calculated, which is in good agreement with the dirct determination of this constant in equilibrium measurements. This is taken as an indication for a simple reaction schema describing the reaction of NPA with its particle-bound receptor, and it can be inferred that membrane permeation does not impose a limitation on this reaction under the conditions used in this investigation. This view is strengthened by the absence of any indication for a carrier mechanism in “counterflow” experiments. A few minor deviations from quantitative predictions of the simple binding reaction schema are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Polyethyleneglycol (PEG) has been used to sediment particulate material from maize coleoptile homogenates at low centrifugal forces. The resuspended sediments were used for N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA)-binding studies. Binding activity was influenced by monovalent cations in the resuspension medium, but even at concentrations of up to 1.2 M NaCl or 0.5 M LiCl or CsCl, half of the binding activity was still recovered. Binding activity was influenced by divalent cations, because it decreased when Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions in the medium were complexed with EDTA. Fractionated sedimentation using increasing concentrations of PEG resulted in two peaks of NPA-binding activity at about 3% and 6% PEG. The 3% peak cintained enzymatic markers for mitochondria and endoplasmatic reticulum while the 6% peak contained NPA-binding activity only. Possible explanations for the bimodal distribution of NPA binding after fractionated PEG precipitation are discussed.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Removal of the quiescent center (QC) from the root apex of maize (Zea mays L., cv. Kelvedon 33) initiates a set of events which culiminate in the regeneration of an intact apex with a newly formed QC. Concomitant with the formation of a new QC is a marked reduction in extractable cytokinins in the tissue of the proximal meristem. Replacing the excised QC with a Dowex (acidic cation-exchange resin) bead affects both root growth and QC regeneration. Root growth is inhibited by “plain” Dowex beads and Dowex beads treated with zeatin; this inhibition is reversed if the beads have been treated with CaCl2 (±zeatin). Dowex beads treated with zeatin delay the formation of a new QC; this effect is the same whether or not the beads also contain CaCl2. The results of this investigation support the notions that cytokinin biosynthesis in roots is a result of activities of both the QC and the proximal meristem, and that cytokinins, at least if supplied exogenously, can play a role in root morphogenesis by delaying the regeneration of the QC.

    Notes: Abstract Growth regulators were measured in extracts from the upper and lower halves of 7-mm apical segments of horizontally oriented, red-light-irradiated and non-irradiated roots of Zea mays L. cv. Golden Cross Bantam 70 which exhibit a georesponse only after an exposure to light. Abscisic acid (ABA) was measured by gas-liquid chromatography, auxin (indole-3-acetic acid, IAA) by the Avena straight-growth assay, and an unidentified growth inhibitor by a Zea root-growth assay. The ratio of ABA in the upper and lower halves was 1.6 in the irradiated roots and 1.0 in the non-irradiated ones. The total amount of ABA after irradiation was increased by a factor of ca. 1.8. The ratio of IAA in the upper and lower halves of irradiated and non-irradiated roots was 1:3.4 and 1:2.9, respectively. The content (or activity) of an unidentified growth inhibitor was highest in the lower halves of horizontally oriented roots which had been irradiated with red light. The unidentified growth inhibitor, rather than IAA or ABA, may be the major factor in the light-induced geotropic responsiveness in Zea roots.

    Two forms of NADP-dependent malic enzyme in expanding maize leaves (1979)

    ISSN: 1432-2048

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Etiolated maize leaves (Zea mays L.) contain a major isozyme of NADP-dependent malic enzyme (L-malate dehydrogenase, decarboxylating, EC 1.1.1.40) having an isoelectric point of 5.28±0.03, a Km (L-malate) 0.3–0.6 mM at pH 7.45; a broad pH optimum around pH 6.9 under the conditions of assay; a molecular weight of 280,000 (sometimes accompanied by a minor component of 150,000); and an NAD-dependent activity about 1/50 the NADP-dependent activity. This isozyme, resembling the NADP-malic enzyme of vertebrates, is labeled type 1. The dominant isozyme of young green leaves (type 2) has, however, a pI 4.90±0.03, a Km (L-malate) 0.10–0.15 mM, a pH optimum of 8, and a molecular weight of 280,000. It is also more stable and exhibits an appreciable NAD-dependent activity (1/5–1/7 the NADP activity). Both isozymes show linear kinetics, dependence on Mn or Mg ions, similar Km (NADP+), and the typical increase of Km for L-malate with increasing pH values. Type 1 isozyme of maize is assumed to be cytosolic. Type 2 corresponds in each property to the chloroplast enzyme of bundle-sheath cells. It is present at a low level in etiolated leaves and develops to a high specific activity (up to 100 nmol min-1 mg protein-1 by 150 h illumination) during photosynthetic differentiation, replacing the type 1 form.

    Solute regulation and growth by roots and shoots of water-stressed maize plants (1979)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Potted maize seedlings were subjected to a single period of water stress. As the severity of water stress increased, measurements were made of leaf and root solute and water potentials, leaf diffusive conductance and leaf and root growth. After day four of the drying cycle, the rate of leaf extension and the development of leaf area were reduced. This reduction correlated well with a reduction in leaf turgor which occurred at this time. A significant accumulation of solutes in the root tips of the unwatered plants resulted in the maintenance of root turgor for the duration of the water stress treatment. Root growth of the unwatered plants was also maintained as the severity of water stress increased. A mild degree of water stress resulted in a net increase in root growth compared to the situation in well-watered plants. The significance of solute regulation and continued root growth for plants growing in drying soil is discussed.

    Ethylene-promoted adventitious rooting and development of cortical air spaces (aerenchyma) in roots may be adaptive responses to flooding in Zea mays L (1979)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract The roots and stem base of intact, 10 day old maize (Zea mays L. cv. LG11) plants, grown in nutrient solution, were continuously aerated either with ethylene (5 μl l-1) in air or with air alone. Ethylene treatment hastened the emergence of adventitious (nodal) roots from the base of the shoot, but slowed their subsequent extension. Ethylene also promoted the collapse of cells in the cortex of these roots, with lysigenous development of prominent air spaces (aerenchyma). Non-aeration of the nutrient solution caused endogenously produced ethylene to accumulate in the roots, and stimulated both the emergence of adventitious roots and the formation of cortical air spaces in them. With non-aeration the concentration of oxygen did not fall below 1% in the equilibrium gas phase (air=20.8%). Complete deoxygenation of the nutrient solution, produced by passing oxygen-free nitrogen gas, prevented both air space formation and the evolution of ethylene by root segments. These results suggest that adventitious rooting and cortical air space formation in nodal roots in Zea mays may be stimulated by enhanced concentrations of endogenous ethylene arising either from entrapment of the gas by unstirred water layers around the roots and/or by increased biosynthesis. These responses are considered conducive to survival in waterlogged soil.

    Enzymes of asparagine synthesis in maize roots (1979)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract An asparagine synthetase which is active with either glutamine or NH 4 + has been found in maize (Zea mays L.) roots. Unlike the enzyme obtained from legume cotyledons, the maize-root enzyme is only slightly more efficient with glutamine (Km, 1.0 mM) than with NH 4 + (Km, 2.0–3.0 mM). The activity of this enzyme is higher in the mature root than in the root-tip region, i.e. root cells develop a capacity to make asparagine from glutamine or NH 4 + as they mature. β-Cyanoalanine synthetase is also present in maize roots. The apparent Km for cysteine is 2.6 mM and for cyanide is 0.57 mM. The enzyme is more active in the root tip than in mature root tissue. Thus, if asparagine were made in the root tip, the cyanide pathway could represent the mechanism of synthesis. It is our contention, however, that this potential is not realized under normal conditions because 14C-experiments performed previously have indicated a limited availability of both CN and cysteine in the maize root.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Discontinuous sucrose gradient fractionations indicate that the high-affinity auxin binding protein which can be solubilized from the microsomes of coleoptiles and primary leaves of Zea mays L. seedlings is probably located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Since aromatic hydroxylations are enzymatic activities typical of the ER of plant cells, we have examined the effects of several electron-transport inhibitors on the binding of 1-naphthylacetic acid (NAA). NaN3 strongly inhibits this binding, but KCN and CO do not. Trans-cinnamic acid and trans-p-coumaric acid, which are the substrates of ER hydroxylase activities in plants (but which are themselves not auxins), also inhibit this binding. Supernatant fractions from corn shoots contain factors inhibitory to the binding of NAA to the intact membranes and solubilized Site I auxin-binding protein. Here we show that these factors are competitive inhibitors of the binding of [14C]NAA but do not change the apparent affinity of the protein for indoleacetic acid, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid or naphthoxyacetic acid. Several tissues were assayed for factors inhibitory to auxin binding to the solubilized protein, but only supernants from corn shoots were markedly inhibitory at low concentrations.

    Notes: Abstract Ophiobolin B (OPH B), a sesterpene metabolite of Helminthosporium oryzae, inhibits proton extrusion from maize coleoptiles. Moreover OPH B counteracts the biological activity of fusicoccin (FC), another terpenoid toxin produced by Fusicoccum amygdali having a similar basic chemical structure: OPH B inhibits FC-promoted proton extrusion, potassium uptake and cell enlargement. The findings suggest that the effect of OPH B in stimulating electrolites, glucose and aminoacid leakage, reported in a previous paper, can be explained by the capacity of the toxin to inhibit proton extrusion.

In the lower leaves the activity of PEP carboxylase was lower than that of RuBP carboxylase, while the upper leaves exhibited high levels of PEP carboxylase. Carbon dioxide compensation points and net photosynthetic rates also differed in the lower and upper leaves. Differences in the fine structure of the lowermost and uppermost leaves are shown. The existence of both the C3 and C4 photosynthetic pathways in the same plant, in this and other species, is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Minor antigens characteristic of developing and mature embryos were not found in the shoot and root meristems of the seedlings. Some of these embryonal antigens (EA) were present, however, in callus and cell-suspension cultures, irrespective of their tissue origin, and were maintained throughout repeated subcultures, in some cases for more than 2 years. These EA were distinct both from the meristematic antigens found in the intact seedlings and in callus cultures, and from organ-specific antigens found only in intact plants. The EA of callus tissues derived from several maize genotypes were serologically identical. We therefore assume that these EA are “proliferation proteins” or “early proteins” expressed by cells that have not undergone any determination and lack any tissue or organ specificity.

    Changes in ultrastructure and transcription induced by elevated temperature in Zea mays embryonic root cells (1979)

    Notes: Abstract A study has been made of the changes occurring in Zea mays kernels exposed to thermal shock at the 48th h of soaking at 16°C, i.e., just before the protrusion of the root. Heat shock of 5 h at 46°C temporarily inhibits the resumption of root growth and consequently retards the protrusion of the root. On the ultrastructural level, it is the nucleolus which undergoes the most dramatic changes. Total loss of the granular component occurs and new electron opaque corpuscles with diameters ranging from 80 to 140 nm appear. These corpuscles contain RNA and proteins. Microstereology shows that the vacuolation of the nucleolus is increased whereas its volume is decreased. Autoradiographical and biochemical studies of RNA synthesis show that the heat shock induces an inhibition of pre-rRNA synthesis. Only RNAs of low molecular weight are still synthesized. After 19 h of a return to 16°C, the ultrastructural changes of the nucleolus are reversed. Nevertheless, increased nucleolar vacuolation persists up to that time. Exposure of maize kernels to 46°C also produces the appearance of corpuscles in some areas of the cytoplasm and in the matrix of mitochondria. Disappearance of these structures is complete within 19 h, except in some mitochondria.

    Notes: Abstract Cytochalasin B (CB) inhibits the elongation growth of maize roots, and that of wheat coleoptile segments incubated in indolyl-3-acetic acid, by over 30% after a lag period of about 60 min. This long lag is not due to poor tissue penetration by the inhibitor, but seems to reflect a property of the process inhibited by CB. The only visible ultrastructural change accompanying growth inhibition is the accumulation of secretory vesicles in the vicinity of dictyosomes, which occurs between 90 and 300 min. However, a massive accumulation of vesicles is seen after 120 min in root cap cells which possess very active dictyosomes. The results indicate that CB does not inhibit elongation growth by interfering with cytoplasmic streaming. Instead, they indicate that the drug acts to inhibit the secretion of cell wall components at some stage after vesicle production, but prior to their transport.

The activation of ATPase by K+ obeys Michaelis Menten kinetics, saturation being reached at 50 mM K+ concentration. K+, Mg2+-stimulated ATPase activity is strongly inhibited by N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and by diethylstilbestrol and, to a lesser extent, by octylguanidine.

    Notes: Abstract The endogenous indol-3yl-acetic acid (IAA) of detipped apical segments from roots of maize (cv ORLA) was greatly reduced by an exodiffusion technique which depended upon the preferential acropetal transport of the phytohormone into buffered agar. When IAA was applied to the basal cut ends of freshly prepared root segments only growth inhibitions were demonstrable but after the endogenous auxin concentration had been reduced by the exodiffusion technique it became possible to stimulate growth by IAA application. The implications of the interaction between exogenous and endogenous IAA in the control of root segment growth are discussed with special reference to the role of endogenous IAA in the regulation of root growth and geotropism.

    Notes: Abstract Maize caryopses sown in water germinate equally well either in darkness or under any light regime. However, when they are imbibed in mannitol solutions, continuous far-red light proves to be strongly inhibitory on the final germination as compared to darkness. Similar but less pronounced inhibition is also exhibited by continuous red or blue light. Intermittent far-red light can partially substitute for continuous far-red light in inhibiting maize caryopsis germination, and its effect is reversed to the intermittent red light level when red light is given immediately after each far-red illumination. These results are interpreted as a proof of existence and involvement of phytochrome in the germination control of maize caryopses, though its manifestation is realized only under osmotic stress.
