Lignin and its related metabolites play critical roles in plant growth and development. Thus, lignin biosynthesis has attracted interest as a novel target site of plant growth inhibitors. Chalcone has been shown to not only inhibit lignin biosynthesis in plants, but also to suppress the growth of many annual plant species. In order to know the direct effect of chalcone on plant metabolism, the effects of chalcone on the activities of key enzymes in lignin biosynthesis and on the related metabolites were clarified with a time‐course study by using light‐induced suspension cultures of soybean cells. The fresh weight and packed cell volume of the soybean cells were inhibited after 8 h of chalcone treatment. The activities of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (EC 4.3.1.24) and 4‐coumarate: coenzyme A ligase (4CL; EC 6.2.1.12) were largely inhibited 4 h after the treatment with 0.15 mmol L?1 chalcone. Unlike these two enzymes, the activity of cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.195) was not inhibited until 16 h after the chalcone treatment. The content of the 4CL substrates and lignin in the soybean cells became relatively lower than the control under the light condition within 4 h and 8 h after the chalcone treatment, respectively. These results suggest that the growth suppression of soybean cells is positively associated with the inhibition of lignin biosynthesis by exogenous chalcone. 相似文献

The growth of the root systems of 2-day-old wheat seedlings was more sensitive to the experimental herbicide WL 29226 than was the growth of the shoots. Inhibition of root growth was observed after 12 hr of exposure to the herbicide. The nuclear activity in these root systems, as estimated by RNA and DNA synthesis, was significantly inhibited before this time, ～30% after 4 hr increasing to ～55% after 8 hr. Nuclear activity was inhibited by ～80% after 24 hr and showed little increase in inhibition with any further increase in exposure to the herbicide. Protein synthesis was initially less inhibited, ～6% after 4 hr, rapidly increasing to ～40% after 8 hr. DNA polymerase activity was monitored as an indication of the nucleic acid biosynthetic capacity of herbicide-treated maize and barnyard grass chromatin. In both plants, the herbicide induced an inherent modification of this activity. In maize this was reflected by an inhibition of activity and in barnyard grass by a stimulation. The effect on barnyard grass chromatin is likely to be more complex than in maize because of the presence of a chromatin-bound DNase in the chromatin from control plants. There is no evidence for such an enzyme in the chromatin from either maize or glycerol ether-treated barnyard grass. The apparent stimulation of DNA polymerase activity may in some way be associated with the loss of this nuclease activity. In order to obtain an inhibition of chromatin DNA polymerase, the plants must be pretreated with the herbicide prior to chromatin extraction. The failure of the herbicide to induce an inhibition in vitro on isolated chromatin does not support a direct interaction between the herbicide and chromatin. The results suggest that, following herbicide application to the plant, chromatin integrity has been altered. 相似文献

ABSTRACT In this study, cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus) expressing induced resistance against powdery mildew (caused by Podosphaera xanthii) were infiltrated with inhibitors of cinnamate 4-hydroxylase, 4-coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL), and chalcone synthase (CHS) to evaluate the role of flavonoid phytoalexin production in induced disease resistance. Light and transmission electron microscopy demonstrated ultrastructural changes in inhibited plants, and biochemical analyses determined levels of CHS and beta-glucosidase enzyme activity and 4CL protein accumulation. Our results showed that elicited plants displayed a high level of induced resistance. In contrast, down regulation of CHS, a key enzyme of the flavonoid pathway, resulted in nearly complete suppression of induced resistance, and microscopy confirmed the development of healthy fungal haustoria within these plants. Inhibition of 4CL ligase, an enzyme largely responsible for channeling phenylpropanoid metabolites into the lignin pathway, had little effect on induced disease resistance. Biochemical analyses revealed similar levels of 4CL protein accumulation for all treatments, suggesting no alterations of nontargeted functions within inhibited plants. Collectively, the results of this study support the idea that induced resistance in cucumber is largely correlated with rapid de novo biosynthesis of flavonoid phytoalexin compounds. 相似文献

The present study investigated the arsenic (As) remediation potential of barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus‐galli L. Beauv. var. formosensis Ohwi), with a special focus on the behavior of As in the soil in comparison with rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Nipponbare). For both plants, very little growth inhibition was observed in the As‐contaminated soil. The amount of As in the soil was reduced by the plant's uptake and the level of As in the soil water from the rice‐growing pots was remarkably lower than that in the plant‐free soil water. In the soil with the barnyard grass, the amount of As in the soil water was higher than that in the plant‐free soil water, but the amount of As in the soil and the amount of As that was adsorbed on the soil solid were reduced by the plant's uptake. At the highest As level in the soil (100 mg kg?1), 249.60 and 101.26 µg As pot?1 were taken up by the rice shoot and barnyard grass shoot, respectively, and total amounts of 1468.65 and 1060.57 µg As pot?1 were taken up by the barnyard grass and rice seedlings, respectively. At the same As level in the soil, the As concentrations were 14.99 and 37.76 µg g?1 in the shoot of barnyard grass and rice, respectively, and 486.61 and 339.32 µg g?1 in the root of barnyard grass and rice, respectively. Barnyard grass took up more As than rice, but the As concentration in the shoot of barnyard grass was lower than that in the shoot of rice. A considerable amount of As was taken up by both barnyard grass and rice, suggesting that the plant species have the potential to remediate As‐contaminated soil. 相似文献

4-Coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL, EC 6.2.1.12) in the phenylpropanoid pathway in plants has attracted interest as a novel target for developing effective plant growth inhibitors (PGIs). In a previous study in which the 4CL inhibitory activity of 28 existing herbicides was investigated using an optimized in vitro screening assay, 4CL activity was found to be strongly inhibited by propanil and swep at 100 microM. Here, further experimental evidence is provided to substantiate the previous result. Using 4-coumaric acid as substrate, tobacco 4CL activity was inhibited by propanil or swep in a concentration-dependent manner, with 50% inhibition concentrations (I(50)) of 39.6 and 6 microM respectively. These herbicides also exhibited uncompetitive inhibition towards 4-coumaric acid. Furthermore, 4CLs from several plant species were inhibited by the herbicides within a range from 1 to 50 microM. It is proposed that these herbicides have another site of action as a result of the inhibition of 4CL in the phenylpropanoid pathway, and this enzyme represents a new target site for the development of PGI. 相似文献

The herbicide isoxaben is selectively phytotoxic to dicotyledonous plants, whereas most monocots are tolerant. We previously selected a soybean cell culture tolerant to isoxaben. Some effects of the herbicide on wild-type soybean cells, tolerant soybean cells, and wheat cells were compared. Cytological observations showed that isoxaben induced some disorganization of sensitive soybean cells, especially at the plasma membrane-cell wall interface. Tolerant soybean cells appeared normal in the presence of isoxaben. The growth of wild-type soybean cells was roughly equally sensitive to isoxaben as to dichlobenil, a cellulose synthesis inhibitor. By comparison, the selected soybean line and a wheat cell culture were less sensitive to isoxaben than to dichlobenil. Glucose incorporation into acid-insoluble cell wall material was more inhibited by isoxaben than by dichlobenil in the wild-type soybean cell culture. In the tolerant soybean cell culture, the incorporation was slightly inhibited by isoxaben, but remained sensitive to dichlobenil. In the wheat cell culture, dichlobenil was also more inhibitory but only at high concentrations. Other compounds, inhibitors of cellulose biosynthesis, of glycosylation of lipids or protein, or of cell division, either had no effect on the synthesis of acid-insoluble cell wall material or exerted apparently unspecific inhibitions. The results are consistent with isoxaben inhibiting the synthesis of a cell wall polysaccharide, which could be cellulose. 相似文献

A series of experiments was conducted in the laboratory and greenhouse of the Subtropical Field Science Center, University of the Ryukyus, Japan, from April to October 2015 to assess the allelopathic potential of 50 indigenous Bangladeshi rice varieties by using the donor–receiver bioassay, equal compartment agar method (ECAM), plant residue extract method and pot culture method. Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.), cress (Lepidium sativum L.), radish (Raphanus sativus L.), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus‐galli L. Beauv.) and jungle rice (Echinochloa colona L.) were used as the test plants. The highest inhibition effect was given by Boterswar, while the stimulating effect was given by Kartikbalam and Panbira in the donor–receiver bioassay and ECAM tests. Boterswar, Goria, Biron and Kartiksail were selected as the highest allelopathic‐potential varieties by the donor–receiver bioassay and ECAM. In the methanol extract test, Boterswar gave the strongest inhibitory effect on both barnyard grass and jungle rice, while Kartiksail gave the highest inhibitory effect on the jungle rice shoot. The growth parameters and total dry matter of barnyard grass in the greenhouse pot experiment were significantly reduced as a result of the application of aqueous extracts of the selected rice varieties, which was similar to the results of the laboratory experiments. The varieties of Boterswar, Goria, Biron and Kartiksail were selected as the most allelopathic among the 50 indigenous Bangladeshi rice varieties. These rice varieties could be used for the isolation and identification of allelochemicals and to further develop new varieties that are tolerant to weeds. 相似文献

A soybean cell line tolerant to isoxaben was isolated by callus selection in herbicide-containing medium. The growth of tolerant suspension cells was not affected by 10 μM isoxaben, which prevented the growth of wild-type cultures. The growth of a wheat cell culture was little affected by isoxaben, in accordance to the tolerance of wheat plants to the herbicide. The metabolic fate of labeled isoxaben in the three types of cultures was examined. By comparison with the sensitive, wild-type soybean cell culture, the tolerance of the selected soybean cell culture and that of wheat cell culture cannot be explained by either quantitative or qualitative differences of herbicide metabolism. These results favor the hypothesis that the sensitivity or tolerance of the cell cultures is determined at the level of the cellular target of the herbicide. 相似文献

4-Coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL, EC 6.2.1.12) exists only in plants and plays an important role in the phenylpropanoid pathway. Identification of inhibitors targeting 4CL provides a novel approach for developing effective plant growth inhibitors (PGIs). The full-length gene of tobacco 4CL (Nt4CL1) was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli Cast & Chalm. The recombinant 4CL protein was extracted and purified by several purification steps including gel-filtration and anion-exchange chromatography. 4CL activity assay was miniaturized and optimized using a 96-well microplate and a reader. Among 28 existing herbicides, propanil and swep strongly inhibited in vitro 4CL enzyme activity, and they were selected for further studies. The process of this assay can be developed into a high-throughput screening system of PGI targeting 4CL in the phenylpropanoid pathway. 相似文献

In Cambodia, the planting of rice lines with a competitive and/or allelopathic ability would be a very useful way to supplement weed management in the rain‐fed, low‐input production systems. The present study examines a wide range of rice germplasm, mainly from Cambodia, and uses a series of bioassay techniques to identify those that might have a weed growth‐suppressing, allelopathic trait. A laboratory bioassay study that involved 359 rice lines showed that there were 15 that could significantly reduce the growth of awnless barnyard grass seedlings. In a second laboratory bioassay, involving the best 96 rice lines that were identified in the first study, 14 were shown to suppress the shoot growth of awnless barnyard grass, 11 could suppress the shoot growth of barnyard grass, six could suppress the shoot growth of small umbrella sedge, four could suppress the shoot growth of two‐leaf fimbristylis, four could suppress the shoot growth of water primrose, and three could suppress the shoot growth of gooseweed. Of the 13 rice lines that were able to suppress the growth of at least two weed species, there were three lines that could suppress the growth of three weed species, one line that could suppress the growth of four weed species, and one line that could suppress the growth of five weed species. In a third soil‐based, pot bioassay that studied the 18 best lines coming from the second laboratory bioassay, all showed a significant weed growth‐suppressive ability. A linear regression analysis showed that there was no correlation between their weed growth‐suppressive ability and their physical seedling size, supporting the idea that the growth suppression was allelopathic in nature and not a physical competition effect. In summary, the results indicate that an allelopathic trait does exist in some Cambodian rice lines and that this trait is effective in the growth suppression of a number of major rice weeds. 相似文献

生长素类除草剂二氯喹啉酸在我国使用了20多年,目前,稻田稗草对二氯喹啉酸产生了抗性,抗二氯喹啉酸稗草逐渐成为我国南北稻区的防除难题。稗草抗二氯喹啉酸机理比较复杂,从稗草感知二氯喹啉酸到产生氰化物的过程是通过生长素信号通路到乙烯信号通路传导的,期间发生了复杂的基因调控和相关酶的从头合成。最新研究认为,稗草主要通过提高氰化物解毒酶——氰丙氨酸合成酶(β-CAS)的活性和控制有毒氰化物的产量产生抗药性。本文综述了二氯喹啉酸的除草机理与稗草对二氯喹啉酸抗性这两个密切相关问题的研究进展。 相似文献

Lignin biosynthesis is essential for plant growth. 4‐Coumarate CoA ligase (4‐CL, EC6.2.1.12) is involved in the monolignol synthesis and occupies a key role in regulating carbon flow into the phenylpropanoid metabolism pathway. Naringenin, one of the metabolites in this pathway, is known as a potent in vitro inhibitor of 4‐CL. The growth of rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Koshihikari), maize (Zea mays L. cv. Yellow corn) and Echinochloa oryzicola Vasing seedlings at the 2nd leaf stage was inhibited after continuous root application with 0.1 mmol L?1 naringenin for 1 week, although naringenin did not kill these gramineous plants. The highest inhibition of fresh weight increase was observed in maize, followed by rice and E. oryzicola. The symptoms in these plants were root browning, delay of leaf/root development and shoot dwarfing. Naringenin treatment increased the contents of 4‐CL substrates, cinnamic acid, 4‐coumaric acid, caffeic acid and ferulic acid from 1.2 to 7.2 times and from 1.2 to 3.5 times in shoots and roots, respectively, except for ferulic acid in E. oryzicola roots. It also caused a slight decrease of the lignin content and alteration of lignin constitutions in rice plants. These results suggested that the monolignol pathways after 4‐CL towards lignin has the possibility to be the novel action sites of plant growth retardants, although further investigations are needed to clarify the mode of action. 相似文献

为了明确水稻田除草剂三唑磺草酮(QYR301)的最佳施药条件,以稗草Echinochloa crus-galli和水稻Oryza sativa作为测试靶标,采用温室盆栽法研究了其施药适期、耐雨水冲刷性、温度和光照强度对其除草活性的影响。结果显示:三唑磺草酮对不同叶龄水稻具有较高的安全性,在有效成分360 g/hm^2的剂量下,对2叶期以后的水稻干重抑制率为0%;其除草活性与稗草的叶龄显著相关,其中2~3叶期的稗草最为敏感,有效成分30 g/hm^2的三唑磺草酮对其干重抑制率为95%~98%;三唑磺草酮具有一定的耐雨水冲刷能力,药后降雨间隔达到8 h以上,其除草活性与药后降雨间隔时间无显著相关性,在有效成分30~120 g/hm^2的剂量下,对稗草的干重抑制率为75%~93%;在20~35℃区间,三唑磺草酮药效稳定,对稗草的GR50值在44.6~51.4 g/hm^2之间;相较于中度光照(45%)和低光照(4%),高光照(100%)条件下三唑磺草酮对稗草的干重抑制率显著增加。分析表明杂草叶龄、降雨、温度和光照会显著影响三唑磺草酮除草活性,为使其发挥最大药效,应选择在水稻2叶期以后至稗草2~4叶期,天气晴朗,气温高于20℃的情况下施药;如药后8 h以内遇降雨天气,则需进行补喷。 相似文献

Flavonoids are a group of secondary plant metabolites important for plant growth and development, and thus the regulation of their biosynthesis is of special interest. We used a transgenic approach for flavonoid content manipulation. The multigene construct contained the cDNAs for chalcone synthase (CHS), and chalcone isomerase (CHI) and dihydroflavonol reductase (DFR) were prepared. Following flax plants transformation, the levels of the products of the enzyme overproduction were assessed in leaves and seeds. The simultaneous expression of genes resulted in a significant increase in the levels of flavanones, flavones, flavonols and anthocyanins, suggesting those three overproducing enzymes efficiently control the flavonoid route of the phenylpropanoid pathway.The increase in the flavonoid content in the transgenic flax plants might be the reason for observed, enhanced antioxidant capacity of those plants. The increased antioxidative properties of transgenic plants lead to improved resistance to Fusarium, the main pathogen of flax.The changes in phenylpropanoids accumulation in transgenic plants affect cell wall carbohydrate content. Immunochemical studies revealed significant increase in carbohydrates, constituents of pectin and hemicellulose. Since pectins contribute to flax stem retting, the compounds increase might affect fibre production. An increase in pectin and hemicellulose content leads to enhanced disease resistance of those plants. 相似文献

为研究棉铃虫成虫寄主偏好性和幼虫取食后生存表现之间的关系,明确两者在决定寄主过程中的作用,我们测定了交配后的棉铃虫雌成虫对16种植物(棉花、玉米、大豆、花生、番茄、辣椒、茄子、烟草、黄瓜、胡萝卜、西芹、杨树、月季、菠菜、包菜、大葱)的产卵偏好性和幼虫取食这些植物嫩叶后的存活和发育情况。棉铃虫雌成虫选择在烟草、茄子、棉花、胡萝卜、番茄、辣椒、玉米、西芹、大豆和花生等10种植物上产卵,但只有取食西芹、烟草、番茄、大豆、棉花和胡萝卜等6种植物叶片的初孵幼虫能够完成幼虫阶段的生长发育、化蛹并羽化,且取食植物嫩叶的幼虫的存活率、发育历期、蛹期和蛹重均差于取食人工饲料的幼虫。以上结果表明,棉铃虫雌成虫产卵寄主与其幼虫取食寄主之间存在并非一一对应的关系,幼虫的生存表现限定了棉铃虫的寄主范围。 相似文献

乌鲁木齐县天然草地毒害植物初步调查及防治对策 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
草地退化的主要原因是气候干旱、超载放牧、鼠害、毒害草入侵等,而毒害草入侵已对各种类型草地构成直接威胁。通过揭示乌鲁木齐县天然草地毒害植物种类的分布,为综合防治草地退化提供科学依据。根据采集的植物标本鉴定结果,该草地主要毒害植物约有46种,分属17科,29属,占该区植物种类的5%;毒害草的分布面积约3.27×104 hm2,占草地总面积的9.83%。主要毒害植物为醉马芨芨（Achnatherum inebrians）、骆驼蓬（Peganum harmala）、苦豆子（Sophora alopecuroides）、马先蒿（Pedicularis sp.）等。这些毒害植物都是多年生草本,繁殖能力极强,生长迅速且植株高大,与矮小的牧草争光、争水、争肥,导致羊茅（Festuca ovina）和冰草（Agropyron cristatum）等牧草大片枯死。因此,根据草地的承载能力,确定理论放牧强度,通过减少家畜数量,采用划区轮牧制度等措施,为优良牧草创造良好的生长发育条件,抑制毒害草的生长,使其从种群中逐渐消失。 相似文献
