Light-regulated gravitropism in seedling roots of maize.
Red light-induced changes in the gravitropism of roots of Zea mays variety Merit is a very low fluence response with a threshold of 10(-9) moles per square meter and is not reversible by far red light. Blue light also affects root gravitropism but the sensitivity of roots to blue is 50 to 100 times less than to an equal fluence of red. In Z. mays Merit we conclude that phytochrome is the sole...
متن کاملChilling tolerance of maize, cucumber and rice seedling leaves and roots are differentially affected by salicylic acid.
Salicylic acid (SA) is one component of a complex signalling pathway that is induced by a number of biotic and abiotic stresses. Exposing seedling radicles to aqueous solutions of 0.5 mM salicylic acid for 24 h before chilling at 2.5 degrees C for 1-4 days reduced the chilling-induced increase in electrolyte leakage from maize and rice leaves, and cucumber hypocotyls, but not from their radicle...
متن کاملEffect of path or sink anoxia on sugar translocation in roots of maize seedlings.
After feeding the scutellum of young maize seedlings with a labeled analog of glucose, 2-deoxy-d-glucose, the progress of radioactivity along the root was followed when either 70% of the path or the whole root were in strict anoxic conditions, and was compared with the translocation pattern of aerobic seedlings. Special care was taken to suppress the internal O(2) transport and to control its o...
متن کاملAnoxia tolerance in tobacco roots: effect of overexpression of pyruvate decarboxylase
Plant survival during flooding relies on ethanolic fermentation for energy production. The available literature indicates that the first enzyme of the ethanolic fermentation pathway, pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC), is expressed at very low levels and is likely to be rate-limiting during oxygen deprivation. The authors expressed high levels of bacterial PDC in tobacco to study the modulation of PD...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of anoxia tolerance
Facultative anaerobiosis occurs widely across phylogeny and comparative studies with multiple animal models are identifying conserved molecular mechanisms that support anoxia tolerance. Our studies of freshwater turtles have analyzed metabolic, signal transduction and gene expression responses to anoxia. A key mechanism is reversible protein phosphorylation, which provides coordinate suppressio...
