Enhancement of protein synthesis in isolated chloroplasts by irradiation of fern gametophytes with blue light.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Irradiation of the gametophytes of Pteridium aquilinum with blue light led to a nearly 5-fold increase in the amino acid-incorporating activity of isolated chloroplasts. The blue light effect was not due to increased synthesis of ATP or other energy donors by the chloroplasts but was probably related to an increased production of chlorophyll and photosynthetic enzymes.

Photocontrol of Chloroplast Lipids in Fern Gametophytes
In the gametophyte of the fern Anem ia phyllitidis synthesis of linolenic acid esterified in monogalactosyldiglyceride requires light. By induction-reversion experiments it could be demon strated that this light-dependent step is mediated by phytochrome. There is also evidence for phytochrome control of galactolipid and hexadecatrienoic acid synthesis. In continuous blue light the synthesis of...
متن کاملIn vivo Synthesis of [C]Dilinoylgalactosylglycerol by Gametophytes of the Fern Anemia phyllitidis
Blue light-grown gametophytes of Anemia phyllitidis were used for the in vivo synthesis of radioactively labeled dilinoylgalactosylglycerol, a potential intermediate in the synthesis of linolenic acid. Optimal yield was obtained by incubating gametophytes with [C]linoleate first for 2 h under anaerobic conditions followed by 46 h under aerobic conditions. As product [C]dilinoylgalactosylglycero...
متن کاملChloroplast and nuclear photorelocation movements
Chloroplasts move toward weak light to increase photosynthetic efficiency, and migrate away from strong light to protect chloroplasts from photodamage and eventual cell death. These chloroplast behaviors were first observed more than 100 years ago, but the underlying mechanism has only recently been identified. Ideal plant materials, such as fern gametophytes for photobiological and cell biolog...

In this work, Co3O4 nanorods were successfully prepared by microwave-assisted solid state decomposition of rod-like CoC2O4.2H2O precursor within a very short reaction time (6 min) without the use of a solvent/surfactant and complicated equipment. The as-obtained Co3O4 nanorods were fully characterized by X-ray diffract...
