  • characterization of the last step of lignin biosynthesis in Zinnia Elegans suspension cell cultures
    FEBS Letters, 2006
    Co-Authors: Carlos Gabaldon, María Angeles Pedreño, Federico Pomar, M Lopezserrano, Fuencisla Merino, Juan Cuello, Ros A Barcelo
    Abstract:

    The last step of lignin biosynthesis in Zinnia Elegans suspension cell cultures (SCCs) catalyzed by peroxidase (ZePrx) has been characterized. The k(3) values shown by ZePrx for the three monolignols revealed that sinapyl alcohol was the best substrate, and were proportional to their oxido/reduction potentials, signifying that these reactions are driven exclusively by redox thermodynamic forces. Feeding experiments demonstrate that cell wall lignification in SCCs is controlled by the rate of supply of H(2)O(2). The results also showed that sites for monolignol beta-O-4 cross-coupling in cell walls may be saturated, suggesting that the growth of the lineal lignin macromolecule is not infinite.

  • two distinct cell sources of h2o2 in the lignifying Zinnia Elegans cell culture system
    Protoplasma, 2006
    Co-Authors: L Gomez V Ros, Carlos Gabaldon, M A Pedreno, Annalisa Paradiso, L De Gara, Ros A Barcelo
    Abstract:

    The use of transdifferentiating Zinnia Elegans mesophyll cells has proved useful in investigations of the process of xylem differentiation from cambial derivatives. Cultured mesophyll cells can be induced by external stimuli to proceed through temporally controlled developmental programs which conclude in the formation of single-cell-derived dead vascular tracheids and parenchyma-like elements. However, there is a gap in our knowledge concerning the role played by reactive oxygen species (O2 − and H2O2) in the development of these vascular elements. In this study, we show by the following four independent and highly selective methods that transdifferentiating Z. Elegans mesophyll cells are capable of producing reactive oxygen species: the 2,3-bis(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide (XTT) assay, which monitors O2 − production, and the xylenol orange, 2,7-dichlorofluorescein diacetate, and CeCl3 assays, which monitor H2O2 production and localization. The joint use of these biochemical (XTT and xylenol orange) assays and cytochemical (2,7-dichlorofluorescein diacetate and CeCl3) probes revealed that transdifferentiating Z. Elegans mesophyll cells do not show an oxidative burst but live in a strongly oxidative state during the entire culture period. In this state, H2O2 is produced by both tracheary and parenchyma-like elements, the nonlignifying parenchyma-like cells acting quantitatively as the main source. The existence of these two sources of H2O2 in this in vitro cell culture system may be especially relevant during the later stages of tracheary cell wall lignification, in which lignifying tracheary elements become hollow. In the case of differentiating tracheary elements, H2O2 was located in the same place and at the same time as the onset of tracheary element lignification, i.e., at the primary cell wall during secondary thickening, supporting the view that the H2O2 produced by this in vitro culture system is destined for use during lignin biosynthesis.

  • cloning and molecular characterization of the basic peroxidase isoenzyme from Zinnia Elegans an enzyme involved in lignin biosynthesis
    Plant Physiology, 2005
    Co-Authors: Carlos Gabaldon, M Lopezserrano, Maria A Pedreno, Ros A Barcelo
    Abstract:

    The major basic peroxidase from Zinnia Elegans (ZePrx) suspension cell cultures was purified and cloned, and its properties and organ expression were characterized. The ZePrx was composed of two isoforms with a Mr (determined by matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization time of flight) of 34,700 (ZePrx34.70) and a Mr of 33,440 (ZePrx33.44). Both isoforms showed absorption maxima at 403 (Soret band), 500, and 640 nm, suggesting that both are high-spin ferric secretory class III peroxidases. Mr differences between them were due to the glycan moieties, and were confirmed from the total similarity of the N-terminal sequences (LSTTFYDTT) and by the 99.9% similarity of the tryptic fragment fingerprints obtained by reverse-phase nano-liquid chromatography. Four full-length cDNAs coding for these peroxidases were cloned. They only differ in the 5′-untranslated region. These differences probably indicate different ways in mRNA transport, stability, and regulation. According to the kcat and apparent KmRH values shown by both peroxidases for the three monolignols, sinapyl alcohol was the best substrate, the endwise polymerization of sinapyl alcohol by both ZePrxs yielding highly polymerized lignins with polymerization degrees ≥87. Western blots using anti-ZePrx34.70 IgGs showed that ZePrx33.44 was expressed in tracheary elements, roots, and hypocotyls, while ZePrx34.70 was only expressed in roots and young hypocotyls. None of the ZePrx isoforms was significantly expressed in either leaves or cotyledons. A neighbor-joining tree constructed for the four full-length cDNAs suggests that the four putative paralogous genes encoding the four cDNAs result from duplication of a previously duplicated ancestral gene, as may be deduced from the conserved nature and conserved position of the introns.

  • nitric oxide production by the differentiating xylem of Zinnia Elegans
    New Phytologist, 2004
    Co-Authors: Carlos Gabaldon, Laura Gomez V Ros, M A Pedreno, Ros A Barcelo
    Abstract:

    Summary • Nitric oxide (NO) is currently regarded as a signal molecule involved in plant cell differentiation and programmed cell death. • Here, we investigated NO production in the differentiating xylem of Zinnia Elegans by confocal laser scanning microscopy to answer the question of whether NO is produced during xylem differentiation. • Results showed that NO production was mainly located in both phloem and xylem regardless of the cell differentiation status. However, there was evidence for a spatial NO gradient inversely related to the degree of xylem differentiation and a protoplastic NO burst was associated with the single cell layer of pro-differentiating thin-walled xylem cells. Confirmation of these results was obtained using trans-differentiating Z. Elegans mesophyll cells. In this system, the scavenging of NO by means of 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl imidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (PTIO) inhibits tracheary element differentiation but increases cell viability. • These results suggest that plant cells, which are just predetermined to irreversibly trans-differentiate in xylem elements, show a burst in NO production, this burst being sustained as long as secondary cell wall synthesis and cell autolysis are in progress.

  • Zinnia Elegans uses the same peroxidase isoenzyme complement for cell wall lignification in both single cell tracheary elements and xylem vessels
    Journal of Experimental Botany, 2004
    Co-Authors: M Lopezserrano, Federico Pomar, M A Pedreno, Maria Luisa De La Morena Fernandez, Ros A Barcelo
    Abstract:

    The nature of the peroxidase isoenzyme complement responsible for cell wall lignification in both Zinnia Elegans seedlings and Z. Elegans tracheary singlecell cultures have been studied. Results showed that both hypocotyls and stems from lignifying Z. Elegans seedlings express a cell wall-located basic peroxidase of pI ~10.2, which was purified to homogeneity. Molecular mass determination under non-denaturing conditions showed an Mr of about 43 000, similar to that of other plant peroxidases. The purified Z. Elegans peroxidase showed absorption maxima at 403 (Soret band), and at 496‐501 and 632‐635 (a and b absorption bands), indicating that this enzyme is a high spin ferric haem protein, belonging to the plant peroxidase superfamily, the prosthetic group being ferric protoporphyrin IX. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of this Z. Elegans basic peroxidase was KVAVSPLS (peptide motif in bold), which shows strong homologies with the N-amino acid terminus of other strongly basic plant peroxidases. Isoenzyme and western blot analyses showed that this peroxidase isoenzyme is also expressed in trans-differentiating Z. Elegans tracheary single-cell cultures. The results also showed that Z. Elegans tracheary singlecell cultures not only express the same peroxidase isoenzyme as the Z. Elegans lignifying xylem, but that this peroxidase isoenzyme acts as a marker of tracheary element differentiation in Z. Elegans mesophyll single-cell cultures. From these results, it may be concluded that Z. Elegans uses a single programme, i.e. an identical peroxidase isoenzyme complement, for lignification of the xylem, regardless of the existence of different ontogenesis pathways from either mesophyll cells (in the case of tracheary elements) or cambial derivatives (in the case of xylem vessels).

    Co-Authors: Pinto, Ana Christina Rossini, Rodrigues, Teresinha De Jesus Deléo, Leite, Izabel Cristina, Barbosa, José Carlos
    Abstract:

    As zínias têm grande potencial como plantas floríferas envasadas e representam rápida fonte de novidade para a floricultura com o auxílio de retardadores de crescimento. Avaliaram-se os efeitos de retardadores de crescimento no desenvolvimento e na produção de plantas envasadas de porte baixo, compactas e atrativas de 'Lilliput' Zinnia Elegans, cultivar altamente ornamental, com sementes de baixo custo. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados, com dez tratamentos (controle e três concentrações de cada retardador: daminozide, paclobutrazol e chlormequat) e quatro repetições (dois vasos por unidade experimental, com uma planta por vaso de 0,6 L). Paclobutrazol (0,5; 0,75 e 1,0 mg i.a. por vaso) e chlormequat (1,0; 2,0 e 3,0 g L-1) foram aplicados ao substrato (40 mL por vaso), enquanto o daminozide (2,5; 3,75 e 5,0 g L-1) foi aplicado através de pulverização foliar (10 mL por vaso), no estádio de gema floral apical visível. Daminozide (2,5 e 3,75 g L-1), paclobutrazol (0,5; 0,75 e 1,0 mg i.a. por vaso) e 1,0 g L-1 de chlormequat reduziram significativamente a altura das plantas e o comprimento dos ramos laterais, sem afetar o diâmetro dos capítulos, atrasar o ciclo de produção e causar fitotoxicidade. Entretanto, as plantas não se apresentaram suficientemente baixas e compactas para atender às exigências de qualidade do mercado. Chlormequat (2,0 e 3,0 g L-1) causou fitotoxicidade e daminozide (5,0 g L-1) aumentou o ciclo de produção.Zinnias have good potential to be used as flowering, potted plants, being a quick source of novelty for the floriculture industry with the aid of growth retardants. This study evaluated the effect of growth retardants on development and production of short, compact and attractive plants of potted 'Lilliput' Zinnia Elegans, a highly ornamental Zinnia with low cost seeds. Trials were set up in randomized blocks, with ten treatments (control and three treatments of each retardant: daminozide, paclobutrazol and chlormequat) and four replications (two pots per experimental unit, with one plant per 0.6-L pot). Paclobutrazol (0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 mg a.i. per pot) and chlormequat (1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 g L-1) were applied as a single drench (40 mL per pot), and daminozide (2.5, 3.75 and 5.0 g L-1) as a single foliar spray to runoff (10 mL per pot), at apical flower bud stage. Daminozide (2.5 and 3.75 g L-1), paclobutrazol (0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 mg a.i. per pot) and chlormequat at 1.0 g L-1 significantly reduced plant height and side branches length, without affecting flower diameter, delaying production cycle and causing phytotoxicity symptoms. However, plants were not short and compact enough to meet market quality demand. Chlormequat (2.0 and 3.0 g L-1) caused phytotoxicity symptoms and daminozide (5.0 g L-1) delayed production cycle.Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq

Paclobutrazol (0,5; 0,75 e 1,0 mg i.a. por vaso) e chlormequat (1,0; 2,0 e 3,0 g L-1) foram aplicados ao substrato (40 mL por vaso), enquanto o daminozide (2,5; 3,75 e 5,0 g L-1) foi aplicado através de pulverização foliar (10 mL por vaso), no estádio de gema floral apical visível. Daminozide (2,5 e 3,75 g L-1), paclobutrazol (0,5; 0,75 e 1,0 mg i.a. por vaso) e 1,0 g L-1 de chlormequat reduziram significativamente a altura das plantas e o comprimento dos ramos laterais, sem afetar o diâmetro dos capítulos, atrasar o ciclo de produção e causar fitotoxicidade. Entretanto, as plantas não se apresentaram suficientemente baixas e compactas para atender às exigências de qualidade do mercado.

Trials were set up in randomized blocks, with ten treatments (control and three treatments of each retardant: daminozide, paclobutrazol and chlormequat) and four replications (two pots per experimental unit, with one plant per 0.6-L pot). Paclobutrazol (0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 mg a.i. per pot) and chlormequat (1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 g L-1) were applied as a single drench (40 mL per pot), and daminozide (2.5, 3.75 and 5.0 g L-1) as a single foliar spray to runoff (10 mL per pot), at apical flower bud stage. Daminozide (2.5 and 3.75 g L-1), paclobutrazol (0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 mg a.i. per pot) and chlormequat at 1.0 g L-1 significantly reduced plant height and side branches length, without affecting flower diameter, delaying production cycle and causing phytotoxicity symptoms. However, plants were not short and compact enough to meet market quality demand.

    Abstract:

    A determinação da área foliar é importante em estudos fisiológicos e agronômicos. O uso de modelos para estimativa da área foliar é um método simples, de boa precisão e não destrutivo. O presente trabalho determina modelos para estimativa da área foliar de Zinnia Elegans ('Liliput' e 'Thumbelina'), Z. haageana ('Carpet Persa') e Z. Elegans x Z. angustifolia ('Profusion Cherry'), cultivares ornamentais com potencial para produção em vaso. Foram coletadas 250 e 300 folhas, respectivamente, nos estádios de gema florífera apical visível e de floração, de plantas cultivadas em casa de vegetação, em cada estação (outono, inverno, primavera e verão), totalizando 1000 e 1200 folhas, para cada estádio de desenvolvimento. Determinaram-se o comprimento (C) e a largura (L) máximas e a área foliar real (AFR), com auxílio de um sistema de análise de imagem digital - Delta T Devices. Estudaram-se as relações existentes entre a AFR e o produto do comprimento pela largura da folha (CL), por modelos de regressão linear, para cada cultivar, em cada estádio de desenvolvimento. Os modelos, para o estádio de gema florífera, AFR = 0,0009 + 0,7765 CL ('Profusion Cherry'), AFR = 0,0021 + 0,8156 CL ('Thumbelina'), AFR = 0,0031 + 0,8003 CL ('Liliput'), AFR = 0,0036 + 0,7719 CL ('Carpet Persa'), e para o estádio de floração, AFR = 0,0029 + 0,7899 CL ('Profusion Cherry'), AFR = 0,8318 CL ('Thumbelina'), AFR = 0,001 + 0,8417 CL ('Liliput'), AFR = 0,0042 + 0,723 CL ('Carpet Persa'), são adequados para estimar a área foliar real.Leaf area measurements are of value in physiological and agronomic studies.
