    Notes: [Auszug] Nuclei were isolated from GA3-responsive aleurone cell protoplasts16 and to facilitate this, several minor changes were made to our earlier protoplast preparation procedure. Figure 1 shows that, using the modified procedure, very little a-amylase activity accumulated in control protoplasts, that ...

    Notes: [Auszug] In an attempt to relate GA3-stimulated a-amylase production to the level of ?-amylase mRNA, we have assayed for this mRNA by translating total and poly(A)-containing RNA isolated from aleurone layers in a cell-free system derived from wheat embryos21. This was followed by im-munoprecipitation22 and ...

    Notes: Abstract The perisperm of seeds of Agrostemma githago contains starch reserves which constitute 40% of the dry weight of the mature seed. These starch reserves were mostly broken down between 48 and 96 h after initiation of imbibition. (Germination occurred after 24 h.) The mode of starch degradation showed close parallels with the breakdown of the starchy endosperm in cereals. Thus, between 24 and 96 h the cotyledons secreted α-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) whereas other degradative enzymes in the perisperm, β-amylase (EC 3.2.1.2) and maltase (EC 3.2.1.20), appeared to originate in the perisperm itself. Cotyledons secreted similar levels of α-amylase in the presence and absence of exogenous starch, indicating that secretion is an internal developmental event of the embryo. By isoelectric focussing the secreted α-amylase was separated into two isoenzymes. In the cotyledons, several other starch-degrading isoenzymes were present but were not secreted.

    Notes: Summary The mature seed of celery (Apium graveolens, L.) contains a small axile linear embryo surrounded by endosperm which occpies the bulk of the seed. The endosperm is living and consists of mostly large angular thick-walled cells containing aleurone grains (often with globoids) and lipid droplets. — Using de-embryonated seeds, it has been shown that the endosperm was induced to break down by gibberellin. The aleurone grains became swollen and lost their contents and the bulk of each cell wall was hydrolyzed. However, a thin resistant layer of wall remained around each protoplast. The wall hydrolysis caused the endosperm to break down into individual cells which could be plasmolyzed and therefore appeared to be still living. All cells of the endosperm responded to gibberellin in a similar way although the cells near the radicle appeared to degrade more rapidly than those elsewhere. There was no change in the absence of the hormone. The response was apparently specific to gibberellin and did not occur in the presence of ethylene, kinetin, abscisic acid and indole acetic acid. The results were the same in light and in darkness. — It has been thought that endosperm breakdown during germination of seed such as celery involved release of hydrolases from the expanding embryo. The results of this study indicate that endosperm breakdown might be caused by hydrolases arising in the endosperm itself in response to gibberellin released from the embryo.

    Notes: Summary Isolated barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) aleurone layers released a number of proteins into an aqueous medium in the absence of gibberellic acid (GA3). Evidence from molecular weight determinations and a number of immunological tests indicated that these proteins were water-soluble endosperm proteins which apparently arose from endosperm cells which adhered to the layers during isolation. They were not aleurone-cell proteins. By means of immunofluorescence, the water-soluble endosperm proteins were found to be concentrated around starch grains in the starchy endosperm. These proteins were resistant to hydrolysis by GA3-induced hydrolases released from aleurone tissue. Isolated aleurone layers could be washed free of soluble endosperm proteins. After treatment with GA3, such layers released another group of proteins which were shown by immunological and electrophoretic methods to be uncontaminated by soluble endosperm proteins. The pure GA3-induced proteins were separated, using SDS-acrylamide gel disc electrophoresis, into 12 components which had molecular weights (monomer) from 15500 to 81000. Ten of these protein bands became radioactive if GA3-treatment of layers was carried out in the presence of radioactive amino acids, and therefore probably contained de novo synthesized proteins. The two protein bands which were not labelled contributed about 40% of the protein released by washed aleurone layers after GA3 treatment, and their production appeared to be dependent on proteolysis.

    Notes: Summary Acid phosphatase has been localized by cytochemical techniques in aleurone layers of dry barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) grains, in imbibed half-grains and in isolated layers treated with and without gibberellic acid (GA3). A major fraction of the enzyme activity is located in the cell walls. During imbibition and incubation of layers without GA3 a steady increase of enzyme activity in the inner wall region indicates a continued release of enzyme into the walls, but there is no essential change in the distribution of wall-enzyme sites. On the other hand, when GA3 is present enzyme activity is found for the first time in regions of the wall that become digested during GA3 treatment. These results indicate that the digested wall channels act as preferential routes through which acid phosphatase is released from the aleurone layer. No digested wall channels are formed in the absence of GA3 and, there being no route for release of the enzyme, it accumulates in the inner regions of the wall around aleurone cells. Assays of enzyme activity in vitro support the conclusions based on the histochemical data. They indicate that release of acid phosphatase from aleurone layers is under strict GA3 control, but that some of the increase in acid phosphatase activity in the isolated during incubation is not GA3 dependent. Acid phosphatase is present in the protein matrix of aleurone grains in all stages except the dry grain. Enzyme activity persists in aleurone grains throughout GA3 treatment when enlargement of the grains and mobilization of reserves takes place. It is suggested that this phosphatase hydrolyses phosphate reserves within the aleurone grains.

    Notes: Summary Gibberellic-acid(GA3)-induced α-amylase has been localised in barley aleurone layers using cytochemical methods and light microscopy. Evidence obtained from the use of a starch substrate film method as well as immunofluorescence indicated that the first amylase to appear in the cell was associated with aleurone grains, apparently with the outer membrane, and also with the peripheral cytoplasm. In GA3-treated tissue, the amylase distribution was much more diffuse, although patchy, throughout the cytoplasm and it tended to accumulate in the endosperm side of the cell. The possibility that the aleurone grain membrane is the site of gibberellin-induced enzyme synthesis and that it proliferates to become rough endoplasmic reticulum is considered. Immunological information was obtained which supports earlier indications that induced α-amylase consists of two different proteins, each with molecular heterogeneity.

    Notes: Abstract Germination of celery seed occurred after 6 d of imbibition in light. During this time the embryo enlarged at the expense of the adjacent endosperm cells and at the time of germination was 2–3 times as long as in the dry seed. Breakdown of the endosperm cells near the root cap preceeded radicle emergence. None of these changes occurred in darkness. Endosperm digestion began adjacent to the embryo and spread radially. In degrading cells, the aleurone grains often became larger and fewer in number. The cell walls were modified and appeared to undergo partial degradation. Ultimately the cells seemed to lose their contents. In cells adjacent to the root cap, similar changes occurred except there was a transient appearance of starch grains. Radial progression of endosperm breakdown also occurred in isolated endosperm treated with gibberellin A4+7. The results indicate that (1) the stimulus for breakdown of celery endosperm emanates from the embryo in response to light; (2) the stimulus may be a gibberellin because changes in endosperm cells and the sequence of endosperm digestion during germination resemble the responses of isolated endosperm to gibberellin; and (3) the radial progression of endosperm breakdown during germination may be the result of a sequential response of cells to a uniformly applied stimulus rather than the result of gradual embryo expansion.

    Notes: Summary Cytochemical methods have been used in conjunction with light and electron microscopy to determine the nature of the inclusions in aleurone grains of barley aleurone layers. Two kinds of inclusions were found: (1) Globoids within globoid cavities which were not enclosed by a membrane: the globoids stained red with toluidin blue due to the presence of phytin, and with lipid stains; (2) Protein-carbohydrate bodies which stained green with toluidin blue. The characteristics of globoids and protein-carbohydrate bodies as seen in the electron microscope are described in detail using both glutaraldehyde- and permanganatefixed tissues. The protein-carbohydrate body was identified by silver-hexaminestaining; this was not caused by carbohydrate but by some component which stained green in toluidin blue and which also occurred in cell walls in a thin band adjacent to the cytoplasm. The characteristics of both bodies are discussed in relation to apparent confusion in their identities in previous electron-microscope studies.
