    Notes: Frost tolerance and leaf proline content were examined in a number of potato hybrids selected for frost tolerance and in the cv. Astarte before and after hardening. Cold hardening (2°C for 20 days) in a dry environment (50/90% relative humidity, day/night) resulted in decreased water content, increased proline content and increased frost tolerance of the leaves of all genotypes. Frost tolerance before and after hardening was positively related to leaf proline content, but not to leaf water content. Drought stress alone, imposed by wilting excised leaves for 4 days, resulted in an accumulation of proline comparable to that after hardening in a dry environment, but the increase in frost tolerance was smaller. Cold hardening in a humid environment (90% relative humidity continuously) only caused a minor accumulation of proline and a small increase in frost tolerance, but the increase in frost tolerance was high in relation to the amount of proline accumulated. Proline, exogenously applied to one of the genotypes, was accumulated in the leaves of shoot cultures, resulting in an increase in frost tolerance. A possible role of proline in frost tolerance is discussed.

    Notes: Sixty-seven hydroxyproline-resistant (hypr) cell lines were selected from cell suspensions of a diploid potato (Solanum tuberosum L., clone H2578) after plating on 5 and 10 mM hydroxyproline (hyp). Resistant colonies were obtained with a spontaneous frequency of 2.9×10−6. No clear influence could be shown from treatment with N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (10 or 50 μM). Ninety % of the variant lines contained more proline than the wild type when cells were grown away from hyp for 1 month. Total free amino acid content was increased 2.2 to 6.8 times. When the lines were grown for another 2–5 months on non-selective medium, the content of proline and other amino acids and hyp resistance decreased. After this period the values were, however, still substantially higher than in the wild type. When tested for growth on media with other amino acid analogues (azetidine-2-carboxylic acid and dehydroproline, analogues of proline; aminoethyl-cysteine, analogue of lysine and 3-fluorotyrosine, analogue of tyrosine) and on media with inhibitory concentrations of lysine + threonine. lines H4a and H4b4 were cross resistant to these compounds. When tested on media with inhibitory NaCl concentrations, variant lines H2a, H4a, and H6 showed better tolerance than the wild type. One variant cell line (H4a) was successfully regenerated into plants. Preliminary results showed an increased frost tolerance in the leaves of these plants (−4.5°C compared to −3°C for the wild type), accompanied by a higher leaf proline content. Callus initiated from leaves of the regenerated clones was more resistant to hyp than wild type callus, indicating that the variant trait might be due to a mutation.

    Nitrate reduction in the wildtype and a nitrate reductase deficient mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana (1982)

    Notes: A chlorate-resistant mutant B25 of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heinh. was isolated, which has very little or no in vitro nitrate reductase activity and grows poorly on a substrate with nitrate as the sole nitrogen source. The mutation of B25 (rgn) is monogenic and recessive, tightly linked to the marker gene an on chromosome 1. Nitrate induces cytochrome-c reductase activity in the mutant but to a lower level than in the wildtype. After sucrose gradient centrifugation the greatest part of the cytochrome-c reductase from induced wildtype is found as 8s type whereas cytochrome-c reductase from B25 under the same conditions is found as 4s type. Nitrate reductase is found at the 8s position. It is suggested that B25 has lost the ability to assemble two 4s subunits showing cytochrome-c reductase activity and a Mo-bearing co-factor into the functional nitrate reductase. Nitrate rather than nitrite is the inducing agent for nitrite reductase, since in B25 nitrite reductase is even more rapidly induced than in the wildtype after addition of nitrate. Both the wildtype and B25 contain a nitrate reductase inhibiting factor when grown on ammonium. This inhibiting factor is a small protein, possibly similar to the nitrate reductase inactivating enzyme reported for other plants.

    Notes: The accumulation of labelled ions was measured in seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. grown in submerged cultures. Genotypes used were wild type and the nitrate-uptake mutant B1, which is altered in the uptake of nitrate and chlorate from concentrations above 1 mM when grown under normal conditions. At low and high concentrations of chlorate, chloride, and K+, significantly less radioactivity was accumulated in seedlings of B1 than in seedlings of wild type. The influx of sulphate did not decrease in B1. The results indicate that the effect of the mutation in B1 is restricted to the uptake of monovalent ions.

    Uptake of Nitrate by Mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana, Disturbed in Uptake or Reduction of Nitrate (1978)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: A study of nitrate and chlorate uptake by Arabidopsis thaliana was made with a wildtype and two mutant types, both mutants having been selected by resistance to high chlorate concentrations. All plants were grown on a nutrient solution with nitrate and/or ammonium as the nitrogen source. Uptake was determined from depletion in the ambient solution. Nitrate and chlorate were able to induce their own uptake mechanisms. Plants grown on ammonium nitrate showed a higher subsequent uptake rate of nitrate and chlorate than plants grown on ammonium alone.Mutant B25, which has no nitrate reductase activity, showed higher rates of nitrate and chlorate uptake than the wildtype, when both types were grown on ammonium nitrate. Therefore, the uptake of nitrate is not dependent on the presence of nitrate reductase. Nitrate has a stimulating effect on nitrate and chlorate uptake, whereas some product of nitrate and ammonium assimilation inhibits uptake of both ions by negative feedback. Mutant B 1, which was supposed to have a low chlorate uptake rate, also has disturbed uptake characteristics for nitrate.

    Notes: Summary An in situ hybridization procedure was developed for mitotic potato chromosomes by using a potato 24S rDNA probe. This repetitive sequence hybridized to the nucleolar organizer region (NOR) of chromosome 2 in 95%–100% of the metaphase plates. Another repetitive sequence (P5), isolated from the interdihaploid potato HH578, gave a “ladderpattern” in genomic Southern's of Solanum tuberosum and Solanum phureja, but not in those of Solanum brevidens and two Nicotiana species. This sequence hybridized predominantly on telomeric and centromeric regions of all chromosomes, although chromosomes 7, 8, 10 and 11 were not always labeled clearly.

    Notes: Summary We transformed three potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) genotypes by using A. rhizogenes or a mixture of A. rhizogenes and A. tumefaciens. Inoculations of potato stem segments were performed with Agrobacterium rhizogenes AM8703 containing two independent plasmids: the wild-type Ri-plasmid, pRI1855, and the binary vector plasmid, pBI121. In mixed inoculation experiments, Agrobacterium rhizogenes LBA1334 (pRI1855) and Agrobacterium tumefaciens AM8706 containing the disarmed Ti-plasmid (pAL4404) and the binary vector plasmid (pBI121) were mixed in a 1∶1 ratio. The T-DNA of the binary vector plasmid pBI121 contained two marker genes encoding neomycin phosphotransferase, which confers resistance to kanamycin, and β-glucuronidase. Both transformation procedures gave rise to hairy roots on potato stem segments within 2 weeks. With both procedures it was possible to obtain transformed hairy roots, able to grow on kanamycin and possessing β-glucuronidase activity, without selection pressure. The efficiency of the A. rhizogenes AM8703 transformation, however, was much higher than that of the “mixed” transformation. Up to 60% of the hairy roots resulting from the former transformation method were kanamycin resistant and possessed β-glucuronidase activity. There was no correlation between the height of the kanamycin resistance and that of the β-glucuronidase activity in a root clone. Hairy roots obtained from a diploid potato genotype turned out to be diploid in 80% of the cases. Transformed potato plants were recovered from Agrobacterium rhizogenes AM8703-induced hairy roots.

    Notes: Summary Transgenic shoots were regenerated from eight diploid potato hairy root clones obtained by transformation with Agrobacterium rhizogenes harboring next to its wild-type Ri-plasmid a binary vector containing the neomycin phosphotransferase and the β-glucuronidase genes. The plants exhibited the typical hairy root phenotype. Of the plants isolated, 58% were tetraploid and 38% were diploid. Flowering and tuberization was much better in the diploid than in the tetraploid plants. Transgenic plants formed a significantly larger root system when grown on kanamycin-containing medium as compared to growth on kanamycin-free medium. Direct evidence for genetic transformation was obtained by opine, neomycin phosphotransferase and β-glucuronidase assays, and by molecular hybridization. Fourteen flowering diploid plants were reciprocally crossed with untransformed S. tuberosum plants, but only six were successful. Seedlings obtained from four crosses showed that all traits were transmitted to the offspring. Molecular analysis confirmed the presence of multiple integrations (copies) of both vector T-DNA and Ri-T-DNA. The genetic data, furthermore, suggest that the traits derived from Ri-T-DNA and binary vector T-DNA are linked, as no recombination between the different traits was observed.

    Notes: Summary After EMS treatment of seeds of the Pisum variety ‘Rondo’ a chlorate resistant mutant was isolated which showed a decrease in the in vitro activity of the enzyme nitrate reductase of roughly 95%. The mutation is monogenic and recessive. The mutant shows a decrease in protein content, and an increase in the amount of nitrate accumulated and in the activity of the enzyme nitrite reductase. On a liquid nutrient medium containing nitrate as the sole nitrogen source and in soil, the mutant grows very poorly due to necrosis of the leaves. On liquid medium containing ammonium, either with or without nitrate, growth is as good as that of the parent variety.

    Notes: Summary Leaf mesophyll protoplasts of the monohaploid potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) clone H7322 were fused with callus protoplasts of nitrate reductase deficient (NR−) mutants Cnx 20 and NA 36 of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia. Somatic hybrid lines were selected for nitrate reductase proficiency. All callus lines tested appeared to be stable for the retention of the potato chromosome carrying the compensating NR gene when grown for over 1.5 years in the absence of nitrate. Shoots were regenerated from six different fusion lines of Cnx 20 + H7322 24 months after fusion. Chromosomal analysis in callus cultures revealed that in both fusion combinations 40–120 N. plumbaginifolia chromosomes were present, as were 9–20 potato chromosomes. Cells with 17 potato chromosomes in combination with a relatively small number (31) of N. plumbaginifolia chromosomes were found in one line. Preferential loss of species-specific chromosomes was not observed. Analysis of regenerating tissue from three lines of Cnx 20 + H7322 revealed that after 24 months of culture intra- and intergeneric translocations, fragments and deletions were present. Elimination of the potato and N. plumbaginifolia chromosomes had taken place before and after genome doubling.
