    Notes: Summary Two week old sorghum seedlings (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) were treated with ferulic acid added to the nutrient solution. Effects on tissue concentration of P, K, Mg, Ca, Fe, and Zn were evaluated after 3 and 6 days. Treatemnts of 0.25 mM ferulic acid approximated the growth inhibition threshold, and after 6 days 0.5 mM treated plants weighed less than controls. Both treatments reduced the P content of the roots and shoots at the 3- and 6-day harvests in three replicate experiments. Roots of treated plants at both harvests had a lower concentration of K and Mg. These reductions in P, K, and Mg were most extensive from the 0.5 mM ferulic acid regime. In some cases at both harvests, shoot K was lower and Mg was higher than control tissue. Ferulic acid effects at the 3-day harvest included an elevation of Ca and depression of Fe in shoots. Changes in nutrient content preceded measurable differences in plant weight. These data indicate that one mechanism of growth inhibition by this allelochemical may be an alteration of nutrient balance.

    Spectroscopic evidence for the presence of an iron-sulfur center similar to Fx of Photosystem I inHeliobacillus mobilis (1994)

    Notes: Abstract Treatment of membranes ofHeliobacillus mobilis with high concentrations of the chaotropic agent urea resulted in the removal of the iron-sulfur centers FA and FB from the reaction center, as indicated by EPR spectra under strongly reducing conditions. In urea-treated membranes, transient absorption measurements upon a laser flash indicated a recombination between the photo-oxidized primary donor P798+ and a reduced acceptor with a time constant of 20 ms at room temperature. Benzylviologen, vitamin K-3 and methylene blue were found to accept electrons from the reduced acceptor efficiently. A differential extinction coefficient of 225–240 mM−1 cm−1 at 798 nm was determined from experiments in the presence of methylene blue. Transient absorption difference spectra between 400 and 500 nm in the presence and absence of artificial acceptors indicated that the electron acceptor involved in the 20 ms recombination has an absorption spectrum similar to that of an iron-sulfur center. This iron-sulfur center was assigned to be analogous to FX of Photosystem I. Our results provide evidence in support of the presence of FX in heliobacteria, which was proposed on the basis of the reaction center polypeptide sequence (Liebl et al. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90: 7124–7128). Implications for the electron transfer pathway in the reaction center of heliobacteria are discussed.

    Effects of root exudate sorgoleone on photosynthesis (1993)
    Springer
    Journal of chemical ecology 19 (1993), S. 369-375 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-1561
    Keywords: Sorgoleone ; allelochemical ; allelopathy ; photosynthesis ; chloroplast ; root exudate ; Sorghum bicolor

    Topics: Biology , Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Abstract The aim of this investigation was to determine if sorgoleone (SGL), ap-benzoquinone inSorghum bicolor root exudate, is a photosynthesis inhibitor. Assays usingGlycine max leaf disks showed concentrations as low as 10μM SGL inhibited oxygen evolution more than 50%. Tests conducted on chloroplasts isolated fromPisum sativum showed that SGL is a powerful inhibitor of CO2-dependent oxygen evolution. Using a chloroplast suspension equivalent to 80–100μg chlorophyll, the I50 was approximately 0.2μM SGL. These data indicate inhibition of photosynthesis is part of the explanation for growth reduction caused by this allelochemical.

    Mechanisms of Hydroquinone-Induced Growth Reduction in Leafy Spurge (1999)

    Notes: Abstract Field observations indicate leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula) is inhibited by the presence of Antennaria microphylla. Hydroquinone (HQ), one of several compounds isolated from A. microphylla has been shown to inhibit leafy spurge seed germination, root elongation, and callus culture growth. The present study was designed to analyze the effects of HQ on water relations and photosynthesis of leafy spurge. Plants grown in 0.25 mM HQ had consistently higher leaf diffusive resistance and lower transpiration rates than control plants (P 〈 0.05). Chlorophyll fluorescence was significantly lower than controls (P 〈 0.05) towards the end of the treatment period. At the end of the treatment, tissue from 0.25 mM HQ plants had higher levels of 13C, indicating there had been a sustained interference with stomatal function. These data suggest that a disruption of the plant water balance is one mechanism of leafy spurge inhibition by A. microphylla.
