    Notes: Suppression subtractive hybridization was used to identify genes regulated by ozone (100 nmol mol−1) in Pisum sativum. One novel gene (named PsUod1) was found. In addition, mRNA levels for four genes (encoding lipid transfer protein, pre-hevein-like protein, leucine-rich repeat protein, and disease-resistance response protein 230), which previously were shown to be regulated by biotic stress, increased. Finally, mRNA species for two genes (encoding extensin and pathogenesis-related protein 4A), previously shown to be regulated by ozone in other species, were found to increase in abundance. The ozone-specificity of the expression of these genes was studied by using UV-B radiation. PsUod1 and the genes encoding extensin, leucine-rich repeat protein, and disease-resistance response protein 230, were differentially regulated when comparing ozone and UV-B. Moreover, the mRNA levels for extensin, leucine-rich repeat protein and disease-resistance response protein 230 all increased under NaCl and aluminium stress and after wounding, whereas the message abundance for PsUod1 was unchanged under these stresses. Thus, in general, ozone caused changes similar to wounding, salt stress and aluminium stress, whereas UV-B radiation regulated gene expression differently.

    Notes: The effect of ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B: 280–320nm) on gene expression and pigment composition has been investigated in pea tissue at different stages of development. Pea (Pisum sativum L., cv. Feltham First) seedlings were grown for 17d and then exposed to supplementary UV-B radiation. Chlorophyll a per unit fresh weight decreased by more than 20% compared with control levels after exposure to UV-B radiation for 7d. In contrast, chlorophyll b content remained the same or increased slightly. Leaf protein biosynthesis, as determined by 35S-methionine incorporation, was rapidly inhibited by UV-B radiation, although the steady-state levels of proteins were either unchanged or only slightly altered. RNA transcripts for the chlorophyll a/b binding protein (cab) were also rapidly reduced to low or even undetectable levels in the expanded third leaf or younger leaf bud tissue after exposure to UV-B radiation. In contrast, cab RNA transcripts were either low or undetectable in etiolated pea tissue, but increased substantially in light and during exposure to UV-B radiation. The cab RNA transcripts were still present at control levels in pea plants after 7d of greening under supplementary UV-B radiation or UV-B alone. The protein composition changed significantly over the 7d of greening, but no differences could be detected between the light treatments. The increase in chlorophyll content was slightly greater during de-etiolation under supplementary UV-B radiation than under control irradiance. Under UV-B radiation alone, chlorophyll was synthesized at a greatly reduced rate. Changes in protective pigments were also determined. Anthocyanins did not change in either etiolated or green tissue exposed to UV-B radiation. However, other flavonoids increased substantially in either tissue during exposure to light and UV-B radiation. The RNA levels for chalcone synthase were measured in green and etiolated tissue exposed to UV-B radiation. The chs RNA transcripts were present in low or undetectable amounts in control tissues. In green leaf tissue exposed to supplementary UV-B, a transient increase was detected. The transcripts for chs reached a maximum level after approximately 8 h UV-B exposure, and then declined to lower levels over subsequent days of diurnal photoperiods. However, a constant increase in chs was found after continuous exposure to UV-B for up to 30 h. In etiolated tissue, either white-light, supplementary UV-B or UV-B alone gave small increases in chs, only 8 h of UV-B radiation alone gave any substantial increase in chs expression. Overall, these results clearly demonstrate that the response to increased levels of UV-B radiation is dependent upon the developmental stage of the tissue and involves complex changes in gene expression.

    Notes: The aim of this study was to investigate the regulatory effect of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation on a number of key stress response genes found in the epidermis and mesophyll of Pisum sativum L., Argenteum mutant. This mutant was chosen for the ease with which the entire epidermis can be removed from the mesophyll tissue. An additional goal was to explore the potential modifying effect of pre-acclimation of plants to UV-B radiation prior to exposure by UV-B during treatment. Results showed that mRNA accumulation was similar during acute short-term UV-B exposure for chalcone synthase (Chs) and short-chain alcohol dehydrogenase (SadA) in both epidermis and mesophyll. In contrast, the mRNA levels differed considerably between tissues for phenylalanine ammonia lyase, chalcone isomerase and lipid transfer protein. After 24 h incubation in visible light after cessation of UV-B exposure, the regulation of mRNA levels also differed between Chs and SadA, the former showing no expression in the epidermis and the latter none in the mesophyll. Acclimation to low UV-B levels before acute exposures resulted in delayed induction of Chs and SadA. Measurements of UV-B-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) showed a greater formation in epidermis than in mesophyll. In addition, acclimation at low UV-B levels resulted in significantly higher basal levels of CPDs than in non-acclimated plants in both mesophyll and epidermis and also in increased damage in concomitant acute exposures. The lack of correlation between the number of CPDs and levels of transcripts for defence genes, indicates that DNA damage does not control transcription of these genes.

    Notes: The effects of supplementary ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation on the changes in synthesis and degradation of ribulose -1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) and light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b binding protein of PSII (LHCII) were examined, as well as mRNA levels for small and large subunits of Rubisco (rbcS and rbcL, respectively) and LHCII (cab) with leaf age in UV-sensitive rice (Norin 1) and UV-resistant rice (Sasanishiki). Both Rubisco and LHCII were actively synthesized until the leaf had fully expanded, and then decreased with increasing leaf age. Synthesis of Rubisco, but not LHCII, was significantly suppressed by UV-B in Norin 1. The degradation of Rubisco was enhanced by UV-B around the time of leaf maturation in the two cultivars. The levels of rbcS and rbcL were reduced by UV-B at the early stages after leaf emergence in both cultivars. Cab transcripts were first present at high levels in the two cultivars, but drastically decreased due to UV-B treatment immediately after leaf emergence in Norin 1. It was shown that synthesis and degradation of Rubisco and LHCII greatly changed with leaf age: Rubisco synthesis was significantly suppressed by supplementary UV-B radiation at the transcription step during the early leaf stages. It was also suggested that the difference in UV-B sensitivity in Rubisco synthesis between the two rice cultivars might be due to specific suppression both transcriptionally and post-transcriptionally.
