Biosynthesis of wound ethylene in morning-glory flower tissue.
Production of wound ethylene was investigated in rib segments excised from flower buds of morning-glory (Ipomoea tricolor). Segments of the ribs were cut from buds 2 days before flower opening, floated overnight on 5 mm KCl solution, and transferred to agar the following morning. These immature segments evolved only a small quantity of ethylene during incubation on agar, with most of the produc...
متن کاملMethionine metabolism and ethylene biosynthesis in senescent flower tissue of morning-glory.
In immature rib segments prepared from morning-glory (Ipomoea tricolor) flower buds, the major soluble metabolite formed from tracer amounts of l-methionine-U-(14)C was S-methylmethionine (SMM). In segments of senescing ribs, (14)C was progressively lost from SMM and appeared in free methionine. Immature segments contained about 4 nmoles of free methionine and about 16 nmoles of SMM per 30 segm...
متن کاملEthylene and flower longevity in Alstroemeria: relationship between tepal senescence, abscission and ethylene biosynthesis.
Senescence of floral organs is broadly divided into two groups: those that exhibit sensitivity to exogenous ethylene and those that do not. Endogenous ethylene production from the former group is via a well-characterized biochemical pathway and is either due to developmental or pollination-induced senescence. Many flowers from the order Liliales are characterized as ethylene-insensitive since t...
متن کاملMorning glory syndrome.
Morning glory syndrome is a congenital optic disc anomaly in which much of the excavated colobomatous optic disc is filled with glial tissue. Ocular complications may include strabismus, reduced visual acuity and retinal detachment and it may have systemic associations as in Aicardi's syndrome. A patient with monocular morning glory syndrome and reduced visual acuity is reported. The pattern re...
متن کاملSynchrony between flower opening and petal-color change from red to blue in morning glory, Ipomoea tricolor cv. Heavenly Blue
Petal color change in morning glory Ipomoea tricolor cv. Heavenly Blue, from red to blue, during the flower-opening period is due to an unusual increase in vacuolar pH (pHv) from 6.6 to 7.7 in colored epidermal cells. We clarified that this pHv increase is involved in tonoplast-localized Na+/H+ exchanger (NHX). However, the mechanism of pHv increase and the physiological role of NHX1 in petal c...
