    Notes: Abstract Changes in the soil phosphorus and potassium status on three farming systems in the Northeast Polder during 25 years are related to the fertilizer regime over this period. The changes in the nutrient status of the soil are reflected in fertilizer policy. High rates of phosphate dressings markedly increased the phosphate status of the soil and built up a reserve of phosphate. In contrast, the potassium status decreased by about half, because only potatoes in the rotation were dressed with potassium. Methods of fertilization are discussed and suggestions are made with regard to possible improvements.

    Migration and division of cleavage nuclei in the gall midge,Wachtliella persicariae (1980)

    Notes: Summary In the eggs ofWachtliella persicariae the cleavage nuclei move relative to the surrounding ooplasm. This ‘active’ migration is caused by an organelle whose ultrastructure was studied throughout the mitotic cycle. It consists of a greatly enlarged polar cytaster derived from the mitotic apparatus, linked to the nucleus by 100 Å filaments. The microtubules of the cytaster were found only during periods of active nuclear migration, i.e., from the onset of anaphase to the early prophase of the next mitotic cycle. They are always solitary and follow the course of the astral rays, which are known to temporarily adhere to peripheral structures of the egg cell and to exert tractive forces. In contrast to the cytaster microtubules, the microtubules in the spindle are bundled and persist from early metaphase through late telophase. During ontogenesis the first migration cytaster is built up between 3 and 12 min after oviposition near the anterior egg pole, in the vicinity of the sperm nucleus. In non-inseminated eggs time lapse films show a migration cytaster to develop autonomously in a region free from nuclei, but it does not follow the normal path of the male pronucleus. In several cases the female pronucleus, which remains without a cytaster of its own, was observed to move to the cytaster generated in the absence of the male pronucleus. Whether or not it is adhering to a nucleus, the cytaster divides into two at the correct time, i.e, corresponding to the first cleavage division in fertilized eggs. In some non-inseminated eggs this type of ‘pseudocleavage’ has been observed to occur repeatedly, giving rise to an increasing number of anucleate cytasters.

    Notes: Abstract The terminal, apical shoot meristem ofN. tabacum cv. Wisconsin 38 normally differentiates into a flower after producing 30 to 40 nodes. The influence of leaves and roots on the regulation of flowering was evaluated by counting the number of nodes produced after removal of leaves or the induction of adventitious roots. Leaf removal has no effect on the number of nodes produced before flower formation. Root induction significantly increases the number of nodes produced before flower formation. The plant behaves as if it were measuring the number of nodes between the meristem and the roots as a means of regulating meristem conversion from vegetative to floral differentiation.

    Polysomes from expanded tobacco leaves (1980)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract The isolation of intact polysomes from leaves of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is dependent on the age and state of development of leaves. Undegraded polysomes from young leaves in the early stages of expansion can be isolated easily by extracting the leaves in ice-cold extraction buffer (200 mM tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethylmethane(Tris)-HCl, pH 9.0; 400 mM KCl; 200 mM sucrose; 35 mM MgCl2). Medium-size leaves give best yields of undegraded polysomes when extractions are carried out in the above buffer and in the presence of ethyleneglycol-bis-(β-amino-ethyl ether)-N,N′-tetracetic acid (EGTA) and mercaptoethanol. Isolation of polysomes from large, nearly fully expanded (mature) leaves requires all of the above plus diethyldithiocarbamate (DIECA) in the extraction medium. An extraction medium consisting of 25 mM EGTA, 0.01 M mercaptoethanol, 25 mM DIECA and 0.5% of the nonionic detergent, Nonidet-P40 (NP 40) was found to be very suitable for extraction of polysomes from all developmental stages of leaves. The polysomes extracted in the above medium showed active translation of protein in the wheat-germ in-vitro protein-synthesizing system. The translational products were similar when translations were carried out directly with polysomes or polysomal RNA, or polysomal poly(A)+ RNA from tobacco leaves. Poly(A)− polysomal RNA was a poor template in the in-vitro wheat-germ system.

    Nutritional requirements of protoplast-derived, haploid tobacco cells grown at low cell densities in liquid medium (1980)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Preliminary attempts to define a completely synthetic medium able to support divisions of haploid tobacco mesophyll protoplasts at low initial densities have failed. High protoplast concentrations together with large amounts of naphtaleneacetic acid in the medium (3 mg l-1 NAA) were required for maximal induction of protoplast division. However, cell suspensions derived from haploid protoplasts after four days of preculture at high initial cell densities could be diluted to densities as low as 1–4 cells ml-1, provided the concentration of NAA in the medium was lowered to below 0.3 mg l-1. The optimal NAA supply for low cell density growth was affected by the nature of the nitrogen source. A simple minimal medium which supports the growth of these haploid cells with a plating efficiency of 30–40%, independent of the cell density in the range of 1–4 to 3·104 cells ml-1, has been established. In this medium inositol was the only vitamin stringently required for growth. Growth of cells at low densities was also possible in a medium initially containing 3 mg l-1 NAA, provided it was conditioned by the growth of protoplasts at high densities. Preliminary experiments with [14C]NAA showed that the amount of free NAA remaining in the medium after preincubation at high densities was drastically reduced. Simultaneously, NAA conjugates accumulated in the medium. The implications of these results are discussed.

    Characterization of a cytoplasmic auxin receptor from tobacco-pith callus (1980)

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Cultured tobacco-pith tissue contains a cytoplasmic receptor for indoleacetic acid (IAA). The concentration of binding sites is very low in comparison to that of several auxin receptors found by other investigators. A few obvious possible causes (degradation or inactivation) were investigated. From the results we conclude that the low number of binding sites is real. The receptor binds IAA optimally at pH 7.5–7.8 and at a temperature of 24–30°C, when incubated for 25–30 min. The binding is very specific, as is shown by competition experiments. The concentration of the receptor in the callus tissue changes dramatically during each culture period, which suggests a possible role in development. The receptor was partly purified by gel filtration on Sepharose 6B followed by ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose.

    Reorganization of cortical microtubules and cellulose deposition during leaf formation in Graptopetalum paraguayense (1980)

    Notes: Abstract In the “regeneration” of a shoot from a leaf of the succulent, Graptopetalum paraguayense E. Walther the first new organs are leaf primordia. The original arrangement of cellulose microfibrils and of microtubules (MTs) in the epidermis of the leaf-forming site is one of parallel, straight lines. In the new primordium both structures still have a congruent arrangement but it is roughly in the form of concentric circles that surround the new cylindrical organ. The regions which undergo the greatest shift in orientation (90°) were studied in detail. Departures from the original cellulose alignment are detected in changes in the polarized-light image. Departures from the original cortical MT arrangement are detected using electron microscopy. The over-all reorganization of the MT pattern is followed by the tally of MT profiles, the various regions being studied in two perpendicular planes of section. This corrects for the difference in efficiency in counting transverse versus longitudinal profiles of MTs. Reorientation takes place sporadically, cell by cell, for both the cellulose microfibrils and the MTs, indicating a coordinated reorientation of the two structures. That MTs and cellulose microfibrils reorient jointly in individual cells was shown by reconstruction of the arrays of cortical MTs in paradermal sections of individual cells whose recent change in the orientation of cellulose deposition had been detected with polarized light. Closeness of the two alignments was also indicated by images where the MT and microfibril alignments co-varied within a single cell. The change-over in alignment of the MTs appears to involve stages where arrays of contrasting orientation co-exist to give a criss-cross image. During this critical reorganization, the frequency of the MTs is high. It falls during subsequent enlargement of the organ. It was found that the rearrangement of the cortical MTs to approximate a series of concentric circles on the residual meristem occurred before the emergence of leaf primordia. Through their apparent influence on microfibril alignments, the changes in MT disposition, described here, have the potential to generate major biophysical changes that accompany organogenesis.

    The effect of light on the production of ethylene from 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid by leaves (1980)

    Notes: Abstract White light inhibits the conversion of 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) in discs of green leaves of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) and segments of oat (Avena sativa L.) leaves by from 60 to 90%. Etiolated oat leaves do not show this effect. The general nature of the effect is shown by its presence in both a mono- and a dicotyledon. Since the leaves have been grown and pre-incubated in light, yet can produce from 2 to 9 times as much ethylene in the dark as in the light, it follows that the light inhibition is fully reversible. The inhibition by light is about equal to that exerted in the dark by CoCl2; it can be partly reversed by dithiothreitol and completely by mercaptoethanol. Thus the light is probably acting, via the photosynthetic system, on the SH group(s) of the enzyme system converting ACC to ethylene.

Thus, there was a strong correlation between the nicotine content of callus cultures and the plants from which they were derived.

    Notes: Abstract The herbicides amiprophosmethyl (APM) trifluralin, and oryzalin as well as the fungicides methylbenzimidazolyl carbamate (MBC), O-isopropyl N-phenyl carbamate (IPC), and chlorisopropyl N-phenyl carbamate (CIPC), which are known to cause the destruction of microtubules in vivo but do not interfere with tubulin polymerization in vitro, have been examined with respect to their ability to affect Ca2+ transport in isolated cell organelles. In contrast to colchicine which has no effect on Ca2+ transport in isolated mitochondrial and microsomal fractions, all of the substances investigated caused considerable reduction of ca2+ net uptake into mitochondrial but not into microsomal fractions. This reduction has been shown to be due to an increase in passive Ca2+ efflux. These results have been extrapolated to in vivo situations where they are postulated to act by raising cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels.

    Notes: Abstract In vitro binding of 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) to particulate fractions from tobacco leaf protoplasts was studied. In freshly isolated protoplasts no specific binding could be detected, whereas it was present in particulate fractions from tobacco leaves. It is concluded that the NAA-binding-sites are probably located at the external face of the plasma membrane; they are destroyed during protoplast isolation by proteolytic enzymes in the cellulase and macerozyme preparations. After culturing the protoplasts for 3–4 d, the first cell divisions were observed and at the same time specific NAA-binding became detectable. The affinity constant for NAA was approx. 2·106 mol-1 and the number of binding sites increased during further culture.

    Notes: Abstract Pith tissue of Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. “Havana 425” exhibits a gradient in its tendency to habituate for cytokinin on an auxin-containing medium at 35° C, about 10° C above the standard culture temperature. Explants of pith from below the 8th to 11th internode, counting from the bottom of the plant, rarely habituate for cytokinin; explants from above this threshold habituate rapidly. The explants must also be above a critical size, about 20–30 mg, to habituate. There was a pronounced interaction between size and position effects; the threshold position for cytokinin habituation shifted upward with decreasing explant size.

    Notes: Abstract Uptake of abscisic acid from the culture medium by discs of healthy and tobacco mosaic virus-infected tobacco leaves was measured. Small (two to five-fold) increases in abscisic acid concentration in discs caused increases in rates of [3H]uridine and [3H]adenine incorporation into total nucleic acid, virus RNA and host ribosomal RNA. Net accumulation of virus RNA was also enhanced by abscisic acid. This evidence for stimulation of RNA synthesis is compared with previous reports showing inhibition of RNA synthesis in other tissues. It is suggested that the increase in endogenous abscisic acid caused by tobacco mosaic virus infection may be at least partly responsible for observed increases in rates of RNA synthesis after infection.

    Notes: Abstract Three peroxidase isoenzyme-groups found in cell walls of tobacco were tested for their capacity to form H2O2. Isoenzyme-group GI, located only in cell walls (GII and GIII are also found in protoplasts) showed the highest Kapp-value for H2O2-formation. The lowest Kapp-value, i.e., maximal H2O2-formation was received for group GIII which is ionically bound to the cell wall. As shown before, GI yields maximal polymerization rates for coniferyl- and p-coumarylalcohol. These facts indicate that each of the peroxidase isoenzyme groups of the cell wall is involved with different catalytic functions within the same pathways of H2O2-formation and succeeding lignification. H2O2-formation catalyzed by all 3 groups was increased by very low concentrations of Mn2+-ions. The required amount of Mn2+ leading to maximal stimulation was in each case dependent on the basic rate of H2O2-formation. Maximal stimulation of H2O2-formation by phenolic compounds was achieved by coniferylalcohol at a concentration of 10-4M for all groups. Stimulation by p-coumaryl-and by sinapylalcohol was not as significant.

    Notes: Abstract Pith parenchyma tissue ofNicotiana tabacum L. cv. “Havana 425” becomes cytokinin habituated when incubated at 35°C on an auxin-containing medium. Under these conditions, habituated, hyperplastic nodules appear on the tissues. We used these nodules to estimate the incidence of habituation by a statistical method. The rate of habituation varied with the season. Tissue isolated from plants in the spring habituated approx. 7 times faster than did tissue isolated from plants in winter. The fact that the average rate, 〉4×10−3 per cell generation, was 100–1,000 times faster than the rate of somatic mutation inNicotiana species and depended on the physiological state of the tissue provides further evidence that habituation involves epigenetic changes rather than rare, random genetic mutations. We also found that kinetin (6-furfurylaminopurine) induced habituation and that the concentration required depended on the duration of cytokinin treatment. For long incubation times, approx. 6×10−10 M kinetin, which is about 1,000-fold lower than the concentration optimal for growth of cytokinin-requiring pith tissue, was sufficient to induce habituation. These results support the hypothesis that the habituated state is maintained by a positive feedback loop in which cytokinins either induce their own synthesis or inhibit their own degradation.

    Notes: Abstract The fatty-acid composition of C. roseus and N. tabacum cell suspension cultures was unaffected by subculture on Wood and Braun, Murashige and Skoog, or Gamborg B5C media. However, placing the cultures — which were normally grown at 25° C — at 15° C reduced growth but resulted in enhanced formation of oleic and linolenic acids in C. roseus cultures and increased levels of linoleic and linolenic acids in cultures of G. max and N. tabacum, respectively. The incorporation of [14C]acetate into [14C]linoleic acid was more rapid in N. tabacum cells than in G. max cells, but was very poor in C. roseus where the [14C] label was distributed mainly between palmitic and oleic acids.

    Notes: Abstract In the sexual interspecific cross, Nicotiana rustica L.xN. tabacum L., N. rustica can serve as the female but not as the male parent. By fusion of protoplasts, the barrier to fertilization was overcome and somatic hybrids containing N. tabacum cytoplasm were produced as shown by isoelectric focusing of the Fraction-1 protein (F-1-protein). All somatic hybrids displayed polypeptides of the large subunit of F-1 protein (which is coded by the chloroplast genome) characteristic of only one or the other parental species. Two hybrids had large subunits of the N. tabacum type and two hybrids had those of the N. rustica type. Three hybrids contained three smallsubunit polypeptides (coded by the nuclear genome), one being characteristic of N. rustica, one characteristic of N. tabacum, and one with an isoelectric point common to both species. A fourth hybrid contained only two small-subunit polypeptides of the N. tabacum type but in a F-1 protein macromolecule whose large subunits were of the N. rustica type. One somatic hybrid was self-fertile and its F2 progeny contained large- and small-subunit polypeptides indistinguishable in their isoelectric points from those in the parent F1 hybrid. All somatic hybrids showed an aneuploid chromosome number and morphological characteristics intermediate between those of N. rustica and N. tabacum.

    Notes: Abstract Cell suspension cultures of Catharanthus roseus G. Don, Glycine max (L.) Merr. and Nicotiana tabacum L. were incubated with [14C]acetate, [14C]oleic acid and [14C]linoleic acid at five different temperatures ranging from 15 to 35° C. When the incubation temperature was increased, [14C]acetate was incorporated preferentially into [14C]palmitate, with a concomitant drop in [14C]oleate formation. Between 15 and 20° C, [14C]oleic acid accumulated in C. roseus cells. In all cultures, optimum desaturation of [14C]oleic acid to [14C]linoleic acid occurred between 20 and 25° C, and in G. max this was also the optimal range for desaturation of [14C]linoleic acid to [14C]linolenic acid. Elongation of [14C]palmitic acid was inhibited when cultures grown at 15° C for 25 h were subsequently incubated with [14C]acetate at 25° C. [14C]oleic acid accumulated in G. max and C. roseus cultures grown at 35° C for 25 h and subsequently incubated at 25° C. Desaturation of [14C]oleic acid increased up to 25° C, but then decreased or leveled off depending on the cell line and on the temperature prior to incubation.

    Polarity and growth of caulonema tip cells of the moss Funaria hygrometrica (1980)

    Notes: Abstract In the caulonema tip cells of Funaria hygrometrica, chloroplasts, mitochondria, and dictyosomes have differences in structure which are determined by cell polarity. In contrast to the slowly growing chloronema tip cells the apical cell of the caulonema contains a tip body. Colchicine stops tip growth; it causes the formation of subapical cell protrusions, redistribution of the plastids, and a loss of their polar differentiation. Cytochalasin B inhibits growth and affects the position of cell organelles. After treatment with ionophore A23 187, growth is slower and shorter and wider cells are formed. D2O causes a transient reversion of organelle distribution but premitotic nuclei are not dislocated. In some tip cells the reversion of polarity persists; they continue to grow with a new tip at their base. During centrifugation, colchicine has only a slight influence on the stability of organelle anchorage. The former polar organization of most cells is restored within a few hours after centrifugation, and the cells resume normal growth. In premitotic cells the nucleus and other organelles cannot be retransported, they often continue to grow with reversed polarity. Colchicine retards the redistribution of organelles generally and increases the number of cells that form a basal outgrowth. The interrelationship between the peripheral cytoplasm and the nucleus and the role of microtubules in maintaining and reestablishing cell polarity are discussed.

    Polysomes from expanded tobacco leaves (1980)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract The isolation of intact polysomes from leaves of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is dependent on the age and state of development of leaves. Undegraded polysomes from young leaves in the early stages of expansion can be isolated easily by extracting the leaves in ice-cold extraction buffer (200 mM tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethylmethane(Tris)-HCl, pH 9.0; 400 mM KCl; 200 mM sucrose; 35 mM MgCl2). Medium-size leaves give best yields of undegraded polysomes when extractions are carried out in the above buffer and in the presence of ethyleneglycol-bis-(β-amino-ethyl ether)-N,N′-tetracetic acid (EGTA) and mercaptoethanol. Isolation of polysomes from large, nearly fully expanded (mature) leaves requires all of the above plus diethyldithiocarbamate (DIECA) in the extraction medium. An extraction medium consisting of 25 mM EGTA, 0.01 M mercaptoethanol, 25 mM DIECA and 0.5% of the nonionic detergent, Nonidet-P40 (NP 40) was found to be very suitable for extraction of polysomes from all developmental stages of leaves. The polysomes extracted in the above medium showed active translation of protein in the wheat-germ in-vitro protein-synthesizing system. The translational products were similar when translations were carried out directly with polysomes or polysomal RNA, or polysomal poly(A)+ RNA from tobacco leaves. Poly(A)− polysomal RNA was a poor template in the in-vitro wheat-germ system.

    Notes: Abstract Protoplasts were prepared from the guard cells ofA. cepa. Epidermal peels taken from expanding green leaves and largely free of mesophyll were treated with Cellulysin, and protoplasts were harvested after 18 h of digestion. That the protoplasts were derived from guard cells was ascertained from their characteristic vacuolar autofluorescence and from observations showing that all other epidermal cells are killed in the peeling procedure. The protoplasts proved to be a good system with which to view the cell cortex and inner surface of the plasmalemma. The lysis of cells adhering to polylysine-treated, Formvar-coated grids, followed by negative staining in uranyl acetate, showed that many microtubules normally present in ordered arrays in situ remain closely applied to the inner surface of the plasmalemma in protoplasts. In addition, numerous vesiculate elements including coated vesicles and/or pits are present amongst the microtubules. Similar vesicles are evident in thin sections of fixed, embedded guard cells and protoplasts. The significance of these structures in the cell cortex is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The products synthesized in vitro by messenger RNA (mRNA) extracted from Nicotiana sylvestris were analyzed by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide slab gels. Only three of the major polypeptides synthesized are considered here: P55, P32, and P20. P55 and P32 were translated from chloroplast mRNA. P55 corresponds to the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuP2) carboxylase; P32 is probably a chloroplast membrane protein. P20, the polypeptide synthesized from cytoplasmic poly(A)+ RNA, is the precursor of the small subunit of RuP2 carboxylase. The balance between P20 and P32, in which their relative proportions varied inversely, was regulated by the age of the leaves and the time of illumination; we took advantage of this phenomenon to isolate the mRNA from the small subunit in relatively large amounts. This mRNA has a molecular weight of 350,000.

    Notes: Abstract The properties and the regulation of adenosine 5′-phosphosulfate sulfotransferase extracted from cell suspension cultures ofNicotiana sylvestris was investigated. Optimal adenosine 5′-phosphosulfate sulfotransferase activity was obtained from the cells by extraction with 0.1 M tris-HCl, pH8.0, containing 2 M MgSO4 and 10 mM dithioerythritol. The K m for adenosine 5′-phosphosulfate in the sulfotransferase reaction was about 11 μM. Adenosine 5′-phosphosulfate in concentrations above 50 μM were inhibitory. The extratable adenosine 5′-phosphosulfate sulfotransferase activity decreased during cultivation with sulfate as the sole sulfur source, but after about 3 days it reached a constant level (50 to 100 nmol activated sulfate transferred h-1 mg-1 protein) which was maintained for at least 24 h. Addition of 0.5 mM cysteine to the culture medium decreased the extractable adenosine 5′-phosphosulfate sulfotransferase activity and blocked growth completely. With 0.1 mM cysteine an enzyme level of about 10% of the initial value was reached within 6 to 12 h without significant inhibition of growth. The added cysteine was absorbed rapidly and after 24 h cysteine could no longer be detected in the medium. Before the cysteine was completely depleted, the activity of adenosine 5′-phosphosulfate sulfotransferase started to increase, reaching ultimately a level which was comparable to the initial value.

    Notes: Abstract Cytokinins were extracted from two cultures of tobacco crown gall tumor tissue: an unorganized tissue and a teratoma which produced leafy shoots. On Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, extracts of both types of tissue yielded two peaks of cytokinin activity with elution volumes similar to ribosylzeatin and zeatin. Ribosylzeatin and zeatin were detected and quantified by coupled gas chromatography — mass spectrometry selected ion monitoring (GC/MS SIM), comparable quantities being found in the two extracts. Full mass spectral evidence for the presence of ribosylzeatin in both tissues was obtained. No evidence was found for the presence of N6-(Δ2-isopentenyl)adenosine (i6Ade) or N6-(Δ2-isopentenyl)adenine (i6Ade) although these compounds have been reported to occur in cytokinin-habituated tobacco callus tissues.

    Notes: Abstract Dikegulac (2,3:4,6 di-o-isopropylidine-2-keto-I-gulonate) is a growth regulator used to differentially kill terminal apices, and it analogously inhibits basic metabolic functions in dividing cells, but not stationary cells, in suspension culture. This report demonstrates an analogous situation in isolated tobacco protoplasts. At the lowest concentrations, dikegulac partially suppresses division of the protoplasts. Higher concentrations are required to produce visual cytoplasmic damage to the protoplasts, which probably first occurs at the level of the plasmalemma, as the vacuoles can be released intact. Later, tonoplast disruption occurs.

    Notes: Abstract Indirect immunofluorescence has been used to study the function of cytoplasmic microtubules in controlling the shape of elongated carrot cells in culture. Using a purified wall-degrading preparation, the elongated cells are converted to spherical protoplasts and the transverse hoops of bundled microtubules are disorganised but not depolymerised in the process. Since microtubules remain attached to fragments of protoplast membrane adhering to coverslips and are still seen to be organised laterally in bundles, it would appear that re-orientation of the transverse bundles is due to loss of cell wall and not to the cleavage of microtubule bridges. After 24 h treatment in 10-3 M colchicine, microtubules are depolymerised in elongated cells but, at this time, the cells retain their elongated shape. This suggests that wall which was organised in the presence of transverse microtubule bundles can retain asymmetric shape for short periods in the absence of those tubules. However, after longer periods of time the cells become spherical in colchicine. Neither wall nor tubules therefore exert individual control on continued cellular elongation and so we emphasize the fundamental nature of wall/microtubule interactions in shape control. It is concluded that the observations are best explained by a model in which hooped bundles of microtubules—which are directly or indirectly associated with molecules involved with cellulose biosynthesis at the cell surface—act as an essential template or scaffolding for the orientated deposition of cellulose.

    Notes: Abstract Changes in membrane topography in the flagellate Poterioochromonas malhamensis, as a result of colchicine and osmotic-stress treatments, have been studied using freeze-fracturing and thin sectioning. Ridges, but not rows of intramembrane particles, in the PF-face which denote the position of underlying cortical microtubules, together with the ridge associated with their point of origin (flagellar root fibre 1), dissappear after colchicine or short-term (5 min) osmotic treatments. Cortical microtubules are destroyed as a result of the former, but not the latter treatment. Longer periods in osmoticum allow a recovery of the microtubule — associated membrane ridges. Despite careful isosmotic fixations distinct cross-bridges between microtubules and the plasmalemma were not discernible in thin section.

    Notes: Abstract The goal of this work was to begin a genetic study of the molecular mode of action of abscisic acid (ABA), by isolating variant cultured cells resistant to the hormone, or to a factor which induces ABA synthesis, namely water stress. Cell cultures of Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Wisconsin 38 and N. silvestris Speg. and Comes were chosen as the experimental materials. Studies of the effects of the two stresses on the growth of the cultures demonstrated that ABA or water stress imposed by mannitol could completely inhibit growth. These effects arose in both cases from a constant reduction of the growth rate of the cells throughout the culture period. Mannitol also induced an increase in ABA content of the cells and media of suspension cultures, although not to the concentrations required to achieve the same degree of growth inhibition when the hormone was applied exogenously.

This trait was stable in non-selective conditions for as long as was tested (200 days), but did not alter the response of the cells to water stress. Cell lines from the waterstress selection were not more resistant to mannitol than the parent line, and had a wide range of response to ABA.

    Notes: Abstract The terminal, apical shoot meristem ofN. tabacum cv. Wisconsin 38 normally differentiates into a flower after producing 30 to 40 nodes. The influence of leaves and roots on the regulation of flowering was evaluated by counting the number of nodes produced after removal of leaves or the induction of adventitious roots. Leaf removal has no effect on the number of nodes produced before flower formation. Root induction significantly increases the number of nodes produced before flower formation. The plant behaves as if it were measuring the number of nodes between the meristem and the roots as a means of regulating meristem conversion from vegetative to floral differentiation.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of the microtubule-disrupting drugs, colchicine, vinblastine, podophyllotoxin, griseofulvin, and lumicolchicine (10-5 M), on protein and RNA synthesis were studied in Physarum polycephalum amoebae in culture. All, except lumicolchicine, were found to simultaneously reduce the rate of protein synthesis and stimulate RNA synthesis. These results parallel the effects seen in cells exposed to heat shock. Treatment of the cells with a microfilament-disrupting drug, cytochalasin B (10 μg/ml in ethanol), resulted in a reduced rate of protein synthesis after 2 h compared to a similar effect by vinblastine in 5–15 min. A morphological abnormality, microtubule paracystals, were seen associated with centrioles in vinblastine-treated cells in which protein synthesis had been reduced by 50%. Vinblastine and podophyllotoxin were shown to interfere with the recovery of protein synthesis after inhibition by low or elevated temperatures. The possible role of microtubules in regulating the translational response of a cell to an external environmental stimulus is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Restoration of male fertility was achieved by fusing protoplasts from male sterile (CMS) Nicotiana sylvestris plants with X-irradiated protoplasts derived from fertile N. tabacum plants. The CMS N. sylvestris plants were derived from a previous somatic hybridization experiment and contained alien (Line 92) cytoplasm. About one quarter of the regenerated plants were found to be cybrids. i.e. they consisted of N. sylvestris nuclei combined with all or some components of N. tabacum cytoplasm. In one half of these cybrids male fertility was restored to different levels. The chloroplasts of the two parental donors differ in respect to tentoxin sensitivity: chloroplasts of CMS N. sylvestris are sensitive while those of N. tabacum are insensitive. It could therefore be demonstrated that there was an independent segregation of chloroplast type and male fertility/sterility: several somatic cybrids were male fertile but tentoxin sensitive and others were tentoxin insensitive yet they were male sterile. Only in about one half of the somatic cybrids was male fertility restored together with restoration to tentoxin insensitivity.

    Notes: Summary Using techniques for enhanced microtubular preservation, including albumin pretreatment (Gray, 1975), occipital cortex of rats was studied electron microscopically at various ages of development. A close structural relationship was seen between microtubules, sacs of SER and the postsynaptic “thickening” in primordial spines and with the dense “plate” material of spine apparatuses. Stereoscopic preparations in addition show a more complicated substructure than previously described for the “plate”. Microtubules may contribute to the formation of the “plate” of the spine apparatus which in turn is associated with the postsynaptic “thickening” of the mature spine. Possible functional correlates are discussed.

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary Removal and subsequent reformation of microtubules in cells of the root-tips ofAzolla pinnata R. Br. was achieved by short pulse treatments with the drug colchicine. Loss of microtubules led to the formation of multinucleate cells more frequently than to the arrest of mitosis at metaphase, and primary and secondary wall formation was also disrupted. Recovery of root development was limited. Growth of all roots ceased 5–6 days after the pulse treatment. Following the reappearance of microtubules, renewed deposition of normal wall thickenings occurred in developing xylem elements. Multinucleate cells became subdivided by walls in the apparent absence of a phragmoplast. The plane in which the new wall was formed was often located as it would have been in an untreated root, but in a number of cases abnormal or precious positioning of new walls was observed. Clusters of microtubules, matrix material, and vesicles or particles, taken to indicate microtubule initiation, were observed during the recovery from treatment.

    Notes: Summary Cortical microtubule arrays in the radish root hair were analyzed from reconstructions of serial ultra-thin sections in order to test extant hypotheses concerning the role of microtubules in the deposition of oriented microfibrils of cellulose. Passing away from the tip, root hairs exhibit a transition from random to oriented deposition of microfibrils at approximately 25 μm. Along the root hair, passing back from the tip, the microtubules: a) increase in number to a plateau at 25 μm; b) change their length profiles from approximately 60% less than 1 μm long in the hair tip to approximately 40% less than 1 μm long at 60 μm; c) maintain a constant pattern of angular deviation from the long axis, which is similar to the deviation pattern of the oriented wall fibrils; d) maintain a constant (approximately 70% of tubules) close (within 50 nm) proximity to the plasma membrane (PM); e) maintain a low (approximately 20%) degree of inter-microtubule proximity (i.e., within 50 nm of one another); f) show evidence for some variable long range (〉50 nm) association. Fixation with glutaraldehyde in a complete microtubule polymerization medium (MTPM), or pretreatment with cytochalasin B cause an approximate twofold increase in 1. the proportion of long microtubules in the tip region and 2. microtubules within 50 nm of one another. Fixation in incomplete MTPM (without GTP) produces results similar to phosphate buffer controls. Alternative explanations for these results are examined. A new hypothesis accounting for microtubule involvement in oriented microfibril deposition is described.

    Notes: Summary Ultrastructural study of a dikaryon of the basidiomyceteSchizophyllum commune showed that treatment with griseofulvin affected the site of the dividing nuclei and the location and structure of the septa. The microtubules were considered to be the primary target of griseofulvin, since they participate in nuclear division and movement in the hyphae, and their assembly is known to be in other organisms than fungi inhibited by griseofulvin. It is pointed out that dikaryotic hyphae with two nuclei and a clamp connection per cell are more sensitive indicators of the effect of griseofulvin than homokaryotic hyphae, whose structure is less complex.

    Notes: Summary Chytridium confervae is a eucarpic, monocentric chytrid. We have used light and electron microscopy to study the relationship between the nutrient absorbing rhizoids and the asexually reproductive sporangium during growth. We have also examined the induction of zoosporogenesis by starvation, and subsequent differentiation until zoospore release. During growth the cytoplasm of the rhizoids and the developing sporangium was continuous and similar. At the start of starvation a bundle of fibers that were visible with light microscopy appeared at the junction between the rhizoids and the sporangium. Two hours after initiation of starvation a wall, that was also visible with light microscopy, formed to separate the rhizoids from the sporangium. Electron microscopy revealed a large, ordered array of microtubules in the thallus at the same time that the fibers appeared, and a sharp difference in the density of ribosomes in the cytoplasm of the sporangium and that of the rhizoids that was apparent immediately after starvation. This cytoplasmic difference was preserved by the formation of a cross-wall that was penetrated by plasmodesmata. After the wall was formed the cytoplasm of the rhizoids senesced. Comparison ofC. confervae with other organisms that use arrays of microtubules to move organelles is made and speculation on the role of the microtubules in organelle movement and wall formation inC. confervae is offered.

    Notes: Summary The effect of low temperature (2 °C) on cell shape and microtubules in zoospores of the green algaChlorosarcinopsis gelatinosa has been investigated. The zoospores are 4–6 times longer than wide with a mean length of 12,5 μm and can be kept in the dark for several hours without changes in cell shape. Cell shape changes have been evaluated quantitatively by measuring changes in cell length. Low temperature induces a decrease in cell length which exhibits a two-step kinetic: during the first 30 minutes a rapid rate of decrease in cell length was measured, while during the next 4 hours a slow rate of decrease in cell length was observed. Complete regeneration of zoospore length occurs when cold-treated cells are subjected to the original zoospore induction temperature (30 °C) for two hours. Observation of numbers, disposition and types of microtubules in the zoospore during decrease in cell length has shown that within 30 minutes after cold application the secondary cytoskeletal microtubules (scmt) disappear, while flagellar root microtubules are unaffected. During this period most cells develop a prominent posterior appendage (tail). Sections demonstrate the presence of several microtubules in these tails. Flagellar root microtubules probably extend into the tails and disappearance of scmt starts at the posterior pole of the cell. Regeneration of zoospores to original cell length is coupled with reappearance of scmt starting at the anterior pole of the cell. It is concluded that secondary cytoskeletal microtubules constitute the main cytoskeleton inChlorosarcinopsis zoospores and that flagellar root microtubules contribute to only a minor extent to the cytoskeleton, because they cannot retain the cell shape. The results are discussed with respect to the functional significance of flagellar root microtubules in green algae.

    Notes: Summary The arrangement of cortical microtubules in tobacco protoplasts is described using the following techniques: 1. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of thin sections of whole protoplasts, 2. TEM of negatively stained protoplast ghosts, and 3. Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy of protoplast ghosts. Ghosts were prepared by attaching freshly isolated protoplasts to glass coverslips or formvar/carbon-coated grids with poly-L-lysine and then bursting them either osmotically or by detergent treatment in the presence of a microtubule stabilizing buffer. Osmotic bursting of protoplasts yielded large pieces of plasma membrane with attached microtubules. These preparations proved very useful for measuring the density and length of cortical microtubules. Detergent treatment dissolved the plasma membrane and altered the distribution of cortical microtubules.

    Notes: Summary The anthelmintic compound mebendazole caused the disappearance of microtubules in the intestinal cells ofAscaridia galli. Electron microscopy revealed that soon after the microtubules disappeared there was an accumulation of secretory vesicles near the golgi areas. subsequently many of these vesicles aggregated forming dense large vesicles near the terminal web of the intestinal cells. This provides further evidence for the involvement of microtubules in the secretion of products from eukaryotic cells. It seems likely that inhibition of microtubule directed secretory functions in various cell types is an important function in the anthelmintic activity of the benzimidazole carbamates.

    Notes: Summary By using density gradient centrifugation, employing 55% percoll and 4% sucrose as suspension medium, it is possible to select embryogenic pollen from buds after cold treatment at 10 °C for 8 or more days. These buds at the uninucleate stage of pollen were collected from plants grown in 8 hours photocycles at 18 °C and supplied with mineral salts. The embryogenic pollen are small, starch-free with a clear cytoplasm whereas large starch-filled ones are nonembryogenic. The embryogenic pollen regularly form embryos at a frequency of 2% on a mineral medium supplemented with glutamine, asparagine and sucrose at pH 6.5. These results demonstrate, for the first time, that it is possible to have embryos in appreciable frequencies in “ab initio” pollen cultures raised from cold treated anthers.

    Notes: Summary The sensitivity of the dual intracellular transport system inAcetabularia mediterranea (Koop andKiermayer 1979 a) to cytochalasin B (CB, 10−5 mol), chlorisopropyl-N-phenylcarbamate (CIPC, 2.10−4 mol), and amiprophosmethyl (APM, 3.10−5 mol) has been studied by microcinematography. Vegetative cells before cap formation, 2–3 cm in length, and cells with a maximum sized cap, containing secondary nuclei, were used for the experiments. All intracellular movements ceased under the influence of CB, while in contrast to “headed streaming bands” and to the migration of the secondary nuclei, the movement of chloroplasts at “thin filaments” was found to be insensitive to Col, CIPC, and APM. All inhibitory effects of the drugs on protoplasmic streaming were completely reversible within a time of less than 10–20 minutes recovery from the drugs. The results suggest an involvement of microfilaments in all intracellular movements while, in addition, microtubules seem to be connected with the movement on “headed streaming bands”, including the migration of secondary nuclei.

Transition of the aggregated to the dispersed state is accompanied by incorporation of vesicles into the membrane of the pigment cell. During dispersion a system of microtubules originating from centriole-like structures is established throughout the stellate cell. Within restricted areas of the cell, cytoplasmic differentiation and condensation is found. The possible functional significance of the findings is briefly discussed.

    Notes: Summary The effect of vinblastine on the intracellular transport of newly synthesized protein in the mouse exocrine pancreas in vivo was studied by electron microscopic autoradiography after administration of 3H-leucine. Vinblastine (1.1 μmole/mouse; i.v. injection) was in general given 1 h before radioleucine and 2–4 h before fixation of the pancreas by perfusion with glutaraldehyde. Vinblastine causes the disappearance of microtubules, mainly present in controls in the apical portion of the acinar cell. After injection of vinblastine, zymogen granules form clusters located throughout the cell but often associated with Golgi areas. The latter are enlarged mainly due to the accumulation of small vesicles. In addition, Golgi areas are displaced, most often in an apical direction. Electron microscopic autoradiography demonstrated that vinblastine delays the appearance of labeled protein in zymogen granules; even 2 h after injection of radioleucine the majority of silver grains is located over the rough endoplasmic reticulum while very few grains are related to zymogen granules. This finding might be related to the structural changes of the Golgi areas observed. Although intracellular migration of protein is retarded, zymogen granules are formed. However, many of the labeled granules are found in peculiar locations, often distant from the acinar lumen. The present study suggests that vinblastine, possibly due to its effect on microtubules, influences both the formation and the translocation of zymogen granules.

    Role of microtubules in milk secretion — Action of colchicine on microtubules and exocytosis of secretory vesicles in rat mammary epithelial cells (1980)

    Notes: Summary Effect of colchicine on microtubules was studied in mammary epithelial cells treated both in vivo and in vitro with the alkaloid. Three hours after the intramammary infusion of colchicine, secretory activity of mammary epithelia ceased, milk constituents accumulated and were randomly distributed within the cytoplasm, sometimes leaking into the perialveolar connective tissue, and autophagic vacuoles were prevalent. It appeared that an accelerated involutionary process was occurring. No microtubules were observed after this treatment. In vitro treated cells appeared to be less affected by the alkaloid. Although numerous casein-containing secretory vesicles accumulated in the cytoplasm, lipid droplet accumulation was less, and fewer autophagic vacuoles were observed, although lysosomes were commonly observed. Occasionally, obliquely sectioned microtubules were found in cells treated with low concentrations of colchicine but were absent at higher colchicine concentrations; however, paracrystalline inclusions (tubulin aggregates) were observed in some cells at all concentrations of the drug. These observations provide evidence that drugs which interfere with microtubule integrity reduce the secretory activity in mammary epithelia. This evidence is consistent with the concept of an association of the microtubular system and the secretory process.

    Notes: Summary Previous work has shown that exposure of cultured chondrocytes to colchicine leads to disappearance of microtubules and dispersion of the dictyosomes of the Golgi complex throughout the cytoplasm. Here, the effects of cold and metabolic inhibitors on cultured chondrocytes have been investigated in order to characterize further the relationship between these organelle systems. After incubation of cells for 24 h at 4° C most, but not all microtubules disappeared, indicating the existence of cold-resistant microtubules. Dictyosomes remained united in one area, until transfer of cultures to 37° C, when they dispersed throughout the cytoplasm in about one-third of the cells. In cells exposed simultaneously to cold and colchicine, microtubules disappeared completely, but spreading of dictyosomes occurred only in some cells and became generalized first upon warming. Application of the metabolic inhibitors sodium azide or sodium fluoride (10-2 M) or 2-deoxyglucose (5×10-2 M) together with sodium cyanide (10-2 M) inhibited microtubule removal by colchicine. Consequently, spreading of the Golgi complex was prevented. These findings support the concept of an important role of microtubules in the organization of the Golgi complex. Moreover, depolymerization of microtubules by colchicine appears to be an energy dependent process.

    Notes: Summary Unusual paracrystalline aggregates of microtubules which have not been described in any other mammalian species were observed in cultured anterior pituitary cells of normal chinchillas as well as in situ in the pituitary glands of these animals. These aggregates appeared as regularly arranged tubular structures in the longitudinal plane, and as a checkerboard pattern of closely and regularly packed microtubules when examined in transverse section. Supplementation with vinblastine, colcemide or colchicine in the culture medium did not change these structures morphologically. Each unit of tubules consisted of an outer wall or parellelogram profile and an inner wall composed of a single hexagonal doublet or in a figure “8” form. The outer wall of the parallelogram was 35×28 nm in length for both sides, while the diagonal of the inner wall was 18×28 nm. These paracrystalline aggregates of microtubules in the chinchilla pituitary cells are morphologically distinct from the paracrystalline assembly of cytoplasmic microtubules induced by vinblastine or other alkaloids. The function and significance of these paracrystalline aggregates in anterior pituitary cells of the chinchilla are uncertain.
