    Abscisic-acid and gibberellin action in developing kernels of triticale (cv. 6A190) (1979)

    Notes: Abstract Abscisic-acid (ABA) levels were determined in triticale 6A190 kernels at various stages of development from anthesis to maturity. ABA reached a maximum at ca. 22 d post-anthesis and declined rapidly 12 d later. Associated with drying of the kernel at maturity there was a rapid increase in the endogenous level of α-amylase, apparently based upon de-novo synthesis. Simultaneously there were visible signs of degradation of the large starch grains in the starchy endosperm. Regulation of α-amylase production in the kernel by exogenous gibberellic acid (GA3) was only evident in the almost mature kernel (30–40 d after anthesis) and then only if these kernels were first dried artificially. Furthermore, little α-amylase mRNA could be detected prior to kernel maturity and water loss. Thus, the high levels of gibberellin (GA) that have been found early in kernel development in cereals do not appear to control the later production of α-amylase and onset of kernel germination in the ear of triticale. However, the presence of high levels of ABA until maturity could prevent early germination and premature production of α-amylase. Kernels of triticale 6A190 are characteristically shrivelled and non-dormant at maturity. The relevance of changes in the capacity of kernels to respond to and produce GA and ABA is discussed in relation to problems of harvest dormancy in cereals.

    Notes: Summary.  Primer extension analysis was used to determine the presence of RNAs 4A and 5 in tomato aspermy virus (TAV) and both subgroups of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). RNAs 4A and 5 were detected in TAV and all CMV strains (representative of both subgroups) that were analysed, except for one subgroup I CMV strain which lacked detectable RNA 5. In subgroup II CMV strains the RNA 5 population was found to consist of two sequence variants. Comparison of the RNA 5 sequences from TAV and CMV indicated that TAV and subgroup II CMV RNA 5 share a much greater degree of sequence similarity than either has with subgroup I RNA 5. RNA 4A and the encoded 2b protein appear to be unique to the cucumovirus genus of the tripartite viruses, which share an otherwise common genome structure, and may have played a role in the evolutionary origin of this genus.

    Notes: Abstract A major poly(A)-containing RNA fraction of the approximate size expected of a monocistronic mRNA for the storage protein calliphorin has been isolated from the larval fat bodies of Calliphora vicina during early instar 3. This 20 S RNA fraction programs the synthesis by cell-free wheat embryo extracts of polypeptides of 86,000 daltons identified by tryptic peptide fingerprinting as precursors of the authentic calliphorin subunits of 83,000 daltons. Complementary DNA synthesized by AMV reverse transcriptase using the same 20 S RNA as template hybridized in situ to a single segment of one or two bands in the salivary polytene chromosomes of C. vicina.

    The role of glycosylation in storage-protein synthesis in developing pea seeds (1981)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Intact pea (Pisum sativum L.) cotyledons were incubated with [14C]glucosamine at several stages of seed development and the resultant radioactive proteins were analysed by gel electrophoresis combined with immunoaffinity chromatography and sucrose gradient fractionation. Glucosamine was incorporated into at least five vicilin polypeptides (approx. molecular weight 70,000; 50,000, two components; 14,000, two components). No incorporation was detected into the subunits of legumin. Tunicamycin at 50 μg/ml largely inhibited glucosamine incorporation but had little effect on the incorporation of 14C-labelled amino acids into cotyledon proteins, including vicilin. The assembly of vicilin polypeptides into full-sized protein oligomers (7–9 S) was also unaffected by tunicamycin. Chromatography on concanavalin A confirmed that glycosylation of cotyledon proteins was inhibited by tunicamycin. It is concluded that glycosylation of most cotyledonary proteins involves lipid-linked sugar intermediates, but that glycosylation itself is not an essential step in the synthesis of vicilin polypeptides nor in their assembly into oligomers.

    The effect of auxin on cytokinin levels and metabolism in transgenic tobacco tissue expressing an ipt gene (1995)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract The ipt gene from the T-DNA of Agrobacterium tumefaciens was transferred to tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) in order to study the control which auxin appears to exert over levels of cytokinin generated by expression of this gene. The transgenic tissues contained elevated levels of cytokinins, exhibited cytokinin and auxin autonomy and grew as shooty calli on hormone-free media. Addition of 1-naphthylacetic acid to this culture medium reduced the total level of cytokinins by 84% while 6-benzylaminopurine elevated the cytokinin level when added to media containing auxin. The cytokinins in the transgenic tissue were labelled with 3H and auxin was found to promote conversion of zeatin-type cytokinins to 3H-labelled adenine derivatives. When the very rapid metabolism of exogenous [3H]zeatin riboside was suppressed by a phenylurea derivative, a noncompetitive inhibitor of cytokinin oxidase, auxin promoted metabolism to adenine-type compounds. Since these results indicated that auxin promoted cytokinin oxidase activity in the transformed tissue, this enzyme was purified from the tobacco tissue cultures. Auxin did not increase the level of the enzyme per unit tissue protein, but did enhance the activity of the enzyme in vitro and promoted the activity of both glycosylated and non-glycosylated forms. This enhancement could contribute to the decrease in cytokinin level induced by auxin. Studies of cytokinin biosynthesis in the transgenic tissues indicated that trans-hydroxylation of isopentenyladenine-type cytokinins to yield zeatin-type cytokinins occurred principally at the nucleotide level.

    Characterisation of the wheat Mr 15000 “grain-softness protein” and analysis of the relationship between its accumulation in the whole seed and grain softness (1993)

    Notes: Abstract The Mr 15000 protein associated with water-washed wheat starch granules from soft wheats was shown to be heterogeneous: it could be divided into a fraction containing one or moreα-amylase inhibitor subunits and a fraction largely composed of a previously uncharacterised polypeptide(s) referred to as the “grainsoftness protein” (GSP). The major N-terminal sequence and sequences of peptides derived from protease digests of GSP are reported. An antiserum specific for GSP was used to show that GSP accumulated in both hard and soft wheat grains, but the GSP in soft grains associated more strongly with starch granules than the GSP in hard grains. A positive correlation between grain softness and accumulation of GSP in the seed was demonstrated for a range of cultivars. This differs from the qualitative relationship, based on the isolated starch fraction, between GSP and grain softness that has already been reported. Analysis of wholemeal extracts with the antiserum demonstrated that the accumulation of GSP in the seed was dependent on the short arm of chromosome 5D, which also encodes theHa locus. In addition, examination of near-isogenic lines differing in hardness indicated that the gene(s) controlling GSP was (were) linked with theHa locus. The findings indicate that GSP may be the product of theHa locus and thus be the major factor that determines the milling characteristics of bread wheats.

    Notes: Abstract The isopentenyl transferase gene (ipt) fromAgrobacterium tumefaciens was isolated and introduced, via a disarmed binary vector, into tobacco using theAgrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated gene transfer system. The expression of theipt gene was monitored by RNA hybridization, western blotting and cytokinin analysis. The addition of auxin to the media rapidly reduced the level of cytokinins in the transgenic tissues and this was associated with a reduction in IPT mRNA and protein levels. It is concluded that the hormone auxin can regulate expression of a gene involved in biosynthesis of the second hormone cytokinin. Although exogenous benzyladenine did not directly affectipt gene expression, it did antagonize the effect of auxin on levels of cytokinins and IPT mRNA and protein.
