ALTERATIONS IN POLYRIBOSOME AND MESSENGER RIBONUCLEIC ACID METABOLISM AND MESSENGER RIBONUCLEOPROTEIN UTILIZATION IN OSMOTICALLY STRESSED PLANT SEEDLINGS (WATER STATUS, GROWTH, HORDEUM VULGARE).MASON, HUGH STANLEY. January 1986 (has links)
Polyribosome aggregation state in growing tissues of barley and wheat leaf or stems of pea and squash was studied in relation to seedling growth and water status of the growing tissue in plants at various levels of osmotic stress. It was found to be highly correlated with water potential and osmotic potential of the growing tissue and with leaf or stem elongation rate. Stress rapidly reduced polyribosome content and water status in growing tissues of barley leaves; changes were slow and slight in the non-growing leaf blade. Membrane-bound and free polyribosomes were equally sensitive to stress-induced disaggregation. Incorporation of ³²PO₄³⁻ into ribosomal RNA was rapidly inhibited by stress, but stability of poly(A) ⁺RNA relative to ribosomal RNA was similar in stressed and unstressed tissues, with a half-life of about 12 hours. Stress also caused progressive loss of poly(A) ⁺RNA from these tissues. Quantitation of poly(A) and in vitro messenger template activity in polysome gradient fractions showed a shift of activity from the polysomal region to the region of 20-60 S in stressed plants. Messenger RNA in the 20-60 S region coded for the same peptides as mRNA found in the polysomal fraction. Nonpolysomal and polysome-derived messenger ribonucleoprotein complexes (mRNP) were isolated, and characteristic proteins were found associated with either fraction. Polysomal mRNP from stressed or unstressed plants were translated with similar efficiency in a wheat germ cell-free system; activity of nonpolysomal mRNP was variable, but usually less than that of polysomal mRNP. Deproteinization of mRNP failed to improve its activity. No inhibition of translation of poly(A) ⁺RNA by nonpolysomal mRNP was observed in mixing experiments with the wheat germ cell-free system. It was concluded that no translational inhibitory activity was associated with nonpolysomal mRNP from barley prepared as described.

Protein synthesis and drought stress in two rapeseed cultivarsLeblanc, Rosanne January 1991 (has links)
Desiccation effects on rate and pattern of protein synthesis in Brassica napus (cv westar) and Brassica juncea (cv cutlass) have been examined. Results showed that while the rate of water loss was similar in the two species, the inhibition of amino acid incorporation was greater in B. napus than B. juncea at any given level of desiccation. Electrolyte leakage increased with the degree of desiccation and was greater in B. napus than in B. juncea. In both, the increase in leakage was much sharper after 12 hours of desiccation. Quantitative changes in patterns of boiling-stable protein synthesis due to desiccation stress were observed. The control level of protein radioactivity which was boiling-stable in B. napus was 16.16% and 19.96% for B. juncea. After desiccation, the percentage of boiling-stable radioactivity increased to 23.30% for B. juncea and 16.63% for B. napus. In vitro translation of total RNA indicated that desiccation alone does not induce the synthesis of new mRNA species in either cultivar, but it may change the translation pattern resulting in different levels of abundance of proteins.

PHYSIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS OF DROUGHT TOLERANCE IN CASSAVA (MANIHOT ESCULENTA CRANTZ) (PLANT WATER RELATIONS, PHOTOSYNTHESIS, GROWTH, ARIZONA, COLOMBIA).Porto, Marcio Carvalho Marques January 1983 (has links)
The response of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) to water stress was studied in two distinct sites (Tucson, Arizona and Santander de Quilichao, Colombia). A third experiment was conducted in Palmira, Colombia to evaluate the relationship between photosynthesis, relative humidity and yield of cassava cultivars HCol 1684. Plants stressed after 2 months of growth in Tucson reduced growth by reducing leaf formation, expansion and leaf area. Reductions in LAI due to stress imposed to MCol 1684 in Quilichao were attained by reducing leaf expansion rates and leaf formation in plants stressed after 3 months of age. Plants stressed later increased leaf fall and did not reduce leaf formation. Stress reduced dry matter production in all cultivars, especially when given to young plants. Stress also altered the patterns of dry matter partitioning in 3-month-old plants of MCol 1684, but not in those stressed at 6 months. Transpiration and diffusive conductances of MCol 1684 were reduced after 40 days of stress. These parameters were correlated to photosynthesis and leaf temperatures for non-stressed plants, and additionally with relative humidity in the plants stressed after 3 months of growth. Interestingly, leaf temperatures were lower in stressed plants of MCol 1684, which suggests that stressed cassava plants can avoid excessive heating caused by stomatal closure simply changing leaf orientation and increasing reflectance. Leaf water potential was slightly reduced by stress in Tucson except for MVen 218. Stressed plants of MCol 1684 in Quilichao showed lower values of (L) than those of non-stressed plants after 30-40 days of treatment, suggesting an adaptation of stressed plants acquired during the stress period. The effects of air humidity on stomatal functioning of MCol 1684 seems to be strong as suggested by the dependence of transpiration, conductances and photosynthesis on relative humidity.

Monitoring spatio-temporal variations of vegetation responses to drought with remotely sensed data. / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collectionJanuary 2012 (has links)
干旱是全球范围内的灾害。协同利用遥感数据和气象数据来研究植被对干旱的响应并进行干旱评估和监测,对于减少干旱损失,制定决策和农业管理都有重大的现实意义。 / 本研究提出了两种新的处理多时相遥感数据的方法:一种是基于无云影像频域分析的植被时间序列获取;另一种是基于时间序列主成份分析的MODIS混合象元信息提取。这两种方法可以分别用于时间序列数据的预处理和估算生态干扰发生时陆地植被覆盖的变化。 / 本研究开展了地面试验,用ASD地面高光谱仪和SPAD502叶绿素仪测定了在控制梯度干旱下的玉米叶片光谱和叶绿素含量的动态变化。研究表明:随着干旱的加剧, 叶片光谱反射率也会相应增加。统计分析表明叶片510 nm和690 nm处的反射率可以用于玉米干旱的预警。本研究基于不同干旱程度和玉米不同发育时期的光谱数据,全面探讨了光谱变量和光谱指数对干旱胁迫下叶绿素变化的敏感性。 / 本研究探讨了中国的作物长势与气象因子的关系,首先基于温度,降水,光照和NDVI数据将中国分为7个研究区,然后基于多元线性回归提取了每个研究区在19822006年间限制作物生长的关键气候因子。研究表明在春季和夏季,温度,降水, 光照对作物NDVI的影响(R²>=0.35)要大于秋季和冬季 (R²<=0.14). 在分区1-3(华北,东北)中,全年作物NDVI呈现显著增加的趋势(p<0.1),而在华南地区则没有明显的趋势。 / 在西南干旱中,两类遥感干旱指数(基于空间特征的TVDI和基于时间序列的VHI)与气象干旱指数SPI进行了比较。本研究进行了气象干旱指数和遥感干旱指数的时空一致性分析。TVDI受制于特定研究区提取的‘干边’和‘湿边’,而VHI则受时间序列数据噪声的影响。SPI36和遥感干旱指数存在相对稳定的关系,这与研究区的主要的植被类型是森林有关。 / 本研究用模型碳参数结合遥感数据估算了干旱引起的森林生态系统碳存储的变化。估算的结果与遥感获取的植被净光合速率的变化进行了比较,两者的一致性较高(r=0.32 p<0.001)。研究表明卫星遥感数据结合生态模型可以有效反演在全球变化背景下植被参数的变化。 / Studies on monitoring vegetative responses to drought by integrating remote sensing and meteorological data sets are of great practical meaning in mitigating losses, making decisions and managing agriculture. / A field experiment was conducted to test the hyperspectral sensitivity of corn responses to drought in controlled gradients. Statistical analysis shows that leaf reflectance at 510 nm and 690 nm under artificial illumination mode can indicate early drought significantly. The sensitivity of different hyperspectral indices and position-based variables on vegetative chlorophyll change under drought was also comprehensively compared. / China was divided into 7 regions based on the monthly anomaly of NDVI, precipitation, temperature and sunshine duration from 1982 to 2006 with hierarchical clustering. The impact of precipitation, temperature and sunshine duration on crop NDVI in spring and summer (average R² >=0.35) is higher than that in autumn and winter (average R² < =0.14). The full-year crop NDVI trend for region 1-3 increases (p<0.1), which is related with temperature increase as temperature is the limiting climatic factor for crop growth in these regions. / Time-frequency domain analysis was conducted to denoise multi-temporal remotely sensed data. These methods can be used for retrieving cloud-free phenological curves from multi-temporal satellite data. The two drought indices TVDI and VHI were spatio-temporally compared with the meteorological drought index, SPI. TVDI was subjected to extracted ‘wet edge’ and ‘dry edge’ in the study area while VHI was subjected to noises on NDVI and LST time series. SPI36 and remotely sensed drought indices can reach relative stable relationship, which may be due to the fact that most areas in the present study were covered by forest. / Carbon dynamics for forest ecosystem in drought can be quantified with carbon parameters from models and multi-temporal MODIS NDVI data sets. Sub-pixel percent forest cover was extracted based on principle component analysis (PCA) to multi-temporal MODIS NDVI. The estimated carbon change is highly correlated with the remotely sensed PsnNet change (r=0.32 p<0.001). Satellite remote sensing in conjunction with ecological models can retrieve many important variables caused by global change. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Wang, Hongshuo. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 102-120). / Electronic reproduction.
