Significant seasonal variation in size at settlement has been observed in newly settled larvae of Dreissena polymorpha in Lake Constance. Diet quality, which varies temporally and spatially in freshwater habitats, has been suggested as a significant factor influencing life history and development of freshwater invertebrates. Accordingly, experiments were conducted with field-collected larvae to test the hypothesis that diet quality can determine planktonic larval growth rates, size at settlement and subsequent post-metamorphic growth rates. Larvae were fed one of two diets or starved. One diet was composed of cyanobacterial cells which are deficient in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and the other was a mixed diet rich in PUFAs. Freshly metamorphosed animals from the starvation treatment had a carbon content per individual 70% lower than that of larvae fed the mixed diet. This apparent exhaustion of larval internal reserves resulted in a 50% reduction of the postmetamorphic growth rates. Growth was also reduced in animals previously fed the cyanobacterial diet. Hence, low food quantity or low food quality during the larval stage of D. polymorpha lead to irreversible effects for postmetamorphic animals, and is related to inferior competitive abilities.
Each organ of a multicellular organism is unique at the level of its tissues and cells. Furthermore, responses to environmental stimuli or developmental signals occur differentially at the single cell or tissue level. This underlines the necessity of precise investigation of the “building block of life” -the individual cell. Although recently large amount of data concerning different aspects of single cell performance was accumulated, our knowledge about development and differentiation of individual cell within specialized tissue are still far from being complete. To get more insight into processes that occur in certain individual cell during its development and differentiation changes in gene expression during life cycle of A. thaliana leaf hair cell (trichome) were explored in this work. After onset of trichome development this cell changes its cell cycle: it starts endoreduplication (a modified cell cycle in which DNA replication continues in the absence of mitosis and cytokinesis). This makes trichomes a suitable model for studying cell cycle regulation, regulation of cell development and differentiation. Cells of interest were sampled by puncturing them with glass microcapillaries. Each sample contained as few as ten single cells. At first time trichomes in initial stage of trichome development were investigated. To allow their sampling they were specifically labelled by green fluorescent protein (GFP). In total three cell types were explored: pavement cells, trichome initials and mature trichomes. Comparison of gene expression profiles of these cells allowed identification of the genes differentially expressed in subsequent stages of trichome development. Bioinformatic analysis of genes preferentially expressed in trichome initials showed their involvement in hormonal, metal, sulphur response and cell-cycle regulation. Expression pattern of three selected candidate genes, involved in hormonal response and early developmental processes was confirmed by independent method. Effects of mutations in these genes on both trichome and plant development as well as on plant metabolism were analysed. As an outcome of this work novel components in the sophisticated machinery of trichome development and cell cycle progression were identified. These factors could integrate hormone stimuli and network interactions between characterized and as yet unknown members of this machinery. I expect findings presented in this work to enhance and complement our current knowledge about cell cycle progression and trichome development, as well as about performance of the individual cell in general.
The factors that determine the efficiency of energy transfer in aquatic food webs have been investigated for many decades. The plant-animal interface is the most variable and least predictable of all levels in the food web. In order to study determinants of food quality in a large lake and to test the recently proposed central importance of the long-chained eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) at the pelagic producer-grazer interface, we tested the importance of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) at the pelagic producerconsumer interface by correlating sestonic food parameters with somatic growth rates of a clone of Daphnia galeata. Daphnia growth rates were obtained from standardized laboratory experiments spanning one season with Daphnia feeding on natural seston from Lake Constance, a large pre-alpine lake. Somatic growth rates were fitted to sestonic parameters by using a saturation function. A moderate amount of variation was explained when the model included the elemental parameters carbon (r2 = 0.6) and nitrogen (r2 = 0.71). A tighter fit was obtained when sestonic phosphorus was incorporated (r2 = 0.86). The nonlinear regression with EPA was relatively weak (r2 = 0.77), whereas the highest degree of variance was explained by three C18-PUFAs. The best (r2 = 0.95), and only significant, correlation of Daphnia's growth was found with the C18-PUFA α-linolenic acid (α-LA; C18:3n-3). This correlation was weakest in late August when C:P values increased to 300, suggesting that mineral and PUFA-limitation of Daphnia's growth changed seasonally. Sestonic phosphorus and some PUFAs showed not only tight correlations with growth, but also with sestonic α-LA content. We computed Monte Carlo simulations to test whether the observed effects of α-LA on growth could be accounted for by EPA, phosphorus, or one of the two C18-PUFAs, stearidonic acid (C18:4n-3) and linoleic acid (C18:2n-6). With >99 % probability, the correlation of growth with α-LA could not be explained by any of these parameters. In order to test for EPA limitation of Daphnia's growth, in parallel with experiments on pure seston, growth was determined on seston supplemented with chemostat-grown, P-limited Stephanodiscus hantzschii, which is rich in EPA. Although supplementation increased the EPA content 80-800x, no significant changes in the nonlinear regression of the growth rates with α-LA were found, indicating that growth of Daphnia on pure seston was not EPA limited. This indicates that the two fatty acids, EPA and α-LA, were not mutually substitutable biochemical resources and points to different physiological functions of these two PUFAs. These results support the PUFA-limitation hypothesis for sestonic C:P < 300 but are contrary to the hypothesis of a general importance of EPA, since no evidence for EPA limitation was found. It is suggested that the resource ratios of EPA and α-LA rather than the absolute concentrations determine which of the two resources is limiting growth.
Functional analysis of selected DOF transcription factors in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana
(2007)
Transcription factors (TFs) are global regulators of gene expression playing essential roles in almost all biological processes, and are therefore of great scientific and biotechnological interest. This project focused on functional characterisation of three DNA-binding-with-one-zinc-finger (DOF) TFs from the genetic model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, namely OBP1, OBP2 and AtDOF4;2. These genes were selected due to severe growth phenotypes conferred upon their constitutive over-expression. To identify biological processes regulated by OBP1, OBP2 and AtDOF4;2 in detail molecular and physiological characterization of transgenic plants with modified levels of OBP1, OBP2 and AtDOF4;2 expression (constitutive and inducible over-expression, RNAi) was performed using both targeted and profiling technologies. Additionally expression patterns of studied TFs and their target genes were analyzed using promoter-GUS lines and publicly available microarray data. Finally selected target genes were confirmed by chromatin immuno-precipitation and electrophoretic-mobility shift assays. This combinatorial approach revealed distinct biological functions of OBP1, OBP2 and AtDOF4;2. Specifically OBP2 controls indole glucosinolate / auxin homeostasis by directly regulating the enzyme at the branch of these pathways; CYP83B1 (Skirycz et al., 2006). Glucosinolates are secondary compounds important for defence against herbivores and pathogens in the plants order Caparales (e.g. Arabidopsis, canola and broccoli) whilst auxin is an essential plant hormone. Hence OBP2 is important for both response to biotic stress and plant growth. Similarly to OBP2 also AtDOF4;2 is involved in the regulation of plant secondary metabolism and affects production of various phenylpropanoid compounds in a tissue and environmental specific manner. It was found that under certain stress conditions AtDOF4;2 negatively regulates flavonoid biosynthetic genes whilst in certain tissues it activates hydroxycinnamic acid production. It was hypothesized that this dual function is most likely related to specific interactions with other proteins; perhaps other TFs (Skirycz et al., 2007). Finally OBP1 regulates both cell proliferation and cell expansion. It was shown that OBP1 controls cell cycle activity by directly targeting the expression of core cell cycle genes (CYCD3;3 and KRP7), other TFs and components of the replication machinery. Evidence for OBP1 mediated activation of cell cycle during embryogenesis and germination will be presented. Additionally and independently on its effects on cell proliferation OBP1 negatively affects cell expansion via reduced expression of cell wall loosening enzymes. Summing up this work provides an important input into our knowledge on DOF TFs function. Future work will concentrate on establishing exact regulatory networks of OBP1, OBP2 and AtDOF4;2 and their possible biotechnological applications.
[1-14C]-N-Acetyldopamine (NADA) was oxidized in the presence of methyl [3-3H]-β-alanate with mushroom tyrosinase. The complex mixture of reaction products was partly resolved by chromatographic procedures and analyzed by spectroscopic methods. Methyl-β-alanate is incorporated to only a small extent into oxidation products of NADA which inter alia are presumed to be oligomeric hydroxyquinones. After oxidation of [1-14C, 2-3H]-NADA with preparations from tanning Manduca sexta pupal cuticle, N-acetylnoradrenalin was identified as one of the products. Binding of radioactivity to melanin-like material was also observed. These results suggest that oxidation products different from those formulated usually for the crosslinkages between protein amino groups and N-acetyldopaquinone are deposited in darkly brown coloured insect cuticles during sclerotization.
1) During orthograde perfusion of rat liver human anaphylatoxin C3a caused an increase in glucose and lactate output and reduction of flow. These effects could be enhanced nearly twofold by co-infusion of the carboxypeptidase inhibitor MERGETPA, which reduced inactivation of C3a to C3adesArg. 2) During retrograde perfusion C3a caused a two- to threefold larger increase in glucose and lactate output and reduction of flow than in orthograde perfusions. These actions tended to be slightly enhanced by MERGETPA. 3) The elimination of C3a plus C3adesArg immunoreactivity during a single liver passage was around 67%, irrespective of the perfusion direction and the presence of the carboxypeptidase inhibitor MERGETPA; however, less C3adesArg and more intact C3a appeared in the perfusate in the presence of MERGETPA in orthograde and retrogade perfusions It is concluded that rat liver inactivated human anaphylatoxin C3a by conversion to C3adesArg and moreover eliminated it by an additional process. The inactivation to C3adesArg seemed to be located predominantly in the proximal periportal region of the liver sinusoid, since C3a was less effective in orthograde perfusions, when C3a first passed the proximal periportal region before reaching the predominant mass of parenchyma as its site of action, than in retrograde perfusions, when it first passed the perivenous area. These data may be evidence for a periportal scavenger mechanism, by which the liver protects itself from systemically released mediators of inflammation that interfere with the local regulation of liver metabolism and hemodynamics.
The complement fragments C3a and C5a were purified from zymosan-activated human serum by column chromatographic procedures after the bulk of the proteins had been removed by acidic polyethylene glycol precipitation. In the isolated in situ perfused rat liver C3a increased glucose and lactate output and reduced flow. Its effects were enhanced in the presence of the carboxypeptidase inhibitor DL-mercaptomethyl-3-guanidinoethylthio-propanoic acid (MERGETPA) and abolished by preincubation of the anaphylatoxin with carboxypeptidase B or with Fab fragments of an anti-C3a monoclonal antibody. The C3a effects were partially inhibited by the thromboxane antagonist BM13505. C5a had no effect. It is concluded that locally but not systemically produced C3a may play an important role in the regulation of local metabolism and hemodynamics during inflammatory processes in the liver.
In the isolated rat liver perfused in situ stimulation of the nerve bundles around the portal vein and the hepatic artery caused an increase of urate formation that was inhibited by the α1-blocker prazosine and the xanthine oxidase inhibitor allopurinol. Moreover, nerve stimulation increased glucose and lactate output and decreased perfusion flow. Infusion of noradrenaline had similar effects. Compared to nerve stimulation infusion of glucagon led to a less pronounced increase of urate formation and a twice as large increase in glucose output but a decrease in lactate release without affecting the flow rate. Insulin had no effect on any of the parameters studied.
Increase in prostanoid formation in rat liver macrophages (Kupffer cells) by human anaphylatoxin C3a
(1993)
Human anaphylatoxin C3a increases glycogenolysis in perfused rat liver. This action is inhibited by prostanoid synthesis inhibitors and prostanoid antagonists. Because prostanoids but not anaphylatoxin C3a can increase glycogenolysis in hepatocytes, it has been proposed that prostanoid formation in nonparenchymal cells represents an important step in the C3a-dependent increase in hepatic glycogenolysis. This study shows that (a) human anaphylatoxin C3a (0.1 to 10 mug/ml) dose-dependently increased prostaglandin D2, thromboxane B, and prostaglandin F2alpha formation in rat liver macrophages (Kupffer cells); (b) the C3a-mediated increase in prostanoid formation was maximal after 2 min and showed tachyphylaxis; and (c) the C3a-elicited prostanoid formation could be inhibited specifically by preincubation of C3a with carboxypeptidase B to remove the essential C-terminal arginine or by preincubation of C3a with Fab fragments of a neutralizing monoclonal antibody. These data support the hypothesis that the C3a-dependent activation of hepatic glycogenolysis is mediated by way of a C3a-induced prostanoid production in Kupffer cells.
Prostaglandins, released from Kupffer cells, have been shown to mediate the increase in hepatic glycogenolysis by various stimuli such as zymosan, endotoxin, immune complexes, and anaphylotoxin C3a involving prostaglandin (PG) receptors coupled to phospholipase C via a G(0) protein. PGs also decreased glucagon-stimulated glycogenolysis in hepatocytes by a different signal chain involving PGE(2) receptors coupled to adenylate cyclase via a G(i) protein (EP(3) receptors). The source of the prostaglandins for this latter glucagon-antagonistic action is so far unknown. This study provides evidence that Kupffer cells may be one source: in Kupffer cells, maintained in primary culture for 72 hours, glucagon (0.1 to 10 nmol/ L) increased PGE(2), PGF(2 alpha), and PGD(2) synthesis rapidly and transiently. Maximal prostaglandin concentrations were reached after 5 minutes. Glucagon (1 nmol/L) elevated the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and inositol triphosphate (InsP(3)) levels in Kupffer cells about fivefold and twofold, respectively. The increase in glyco gen phosphorylase activity elicited by 1 nmol/L glucagon was about twice as large in monocultures of hepatocytes than in cocultures of hepatocytes and Kupffer cells with the same hepatocyte density. Treatment of cocultures with 500 mu mol/L acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) to irreversibly inhibit cyclooxygenase (PGH-synthase) 30 minutes before addition of glucagon abolished this difference. These data support the hypothesis that PGs produced by Kupffer cells in response to glucagon might participate in a feedback loop inhibiting glucagon-stimulated glycogenolysis in hepatocytes.
The effect of moderate rates of nitrogen deposition on ground floor vegetation is poorly predicted by uncontrolled surveys or fertilization experiments using high rates of nitrogen (N) addition. We compared the temporal trends of ground floor vegetation in permanent plots with moderate (7–13 kg ha−1 year−1) and lower bulk N deposition (4–6 kg ha−1 year−1) in southern Sweden during 1982–1998. We examined whether trends differed between growth forms (vascular plants and bryophytes) and vegetation types (three types of coniferous forest, deciduous forest, and bog). Trends of site-standardized cover and richness varied among growth forms, vegetation types, and deposition regions. Cover in spruce forests decreased at the same rate with both moderate and low deposition. In pine forests cover decreased faster with moderate deposition and in bogs cover decreased faster with low deposition. Cover of bryophytes in spruce forests increased at the same rate with both moderate and low deposition. In pine forests cover decreased faster with moderate deposition and in bogs and deciduous forests there was a strong non-linear increase with moderate deposition. The trend of number of vascular plants was constant with moderate and decreased with low deposition. We found no trend in the number of bryophyte species. We propose that the decrease of cover and number with low deposition was related to normal ecosystem development (increased shading), suggesting that N deposition maintained or increased the competitiveness of some species in the moderate-deposition region. Deposition had no consistent negative effect on vegetation suggesting that it is less important than normal successional processes.
Today about 24 Million people worldwide suffer from dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease accounts for approximately 50-60% of all dementia cases. As the prevalence of dementia grows with increasing age Alzheimer’s Disease becomes more and more of an issue for society as the proportion of elderly people increases from year to year. It is well established, that the amino acid glutamate - quantitatively being the most important neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS) - may reach toxic concentrations if not cleared from the synaptic cleft into which it is released during transmittance of action potentials. In Alzheimer’s Disease there is strong evidence for a generally impaired glutamate uptake system which in turn is thought to result in toxic levels of the amino acid with the potential to kill off neurons. The excitatory amino acid transporter 1 (EAAT1) belongs to the family of Na+-dependent glutamate transporter and accounts together with EAAT2 for most of the glutamate uptake in the CNS. In this project a new splice variant of EAAT1, skipping exon 3 was detected in human brain samples and subsequently called EAAT1Δ3, this being the second splice variant found after the recent detection of EAAT1Δ9. A method was developed to quantify the transcript of EAAT1 wt, EAAT1Δ3 and EAAT1Δ9 by means of real-time PCR. Samples were taken from different brain areas of a set of control and AD cases. The areas chosen for examination are affected differently in Alzheimer’s Disease, this was used an internal control for the experiments done in this project as to determine whether any effect observed is specific for AD, i.e. AD affected areas or is generally seen in all areas examined. The results of this project show that EAAT1Δ3 is transcribed in very low copy numbers making up a proportion of 0.15% of EAAT1 wt whereas EAAT1Δ9 is transcribed in a considerably large proportion of EAAT1 wt of 26.6%. It was moreover found that all EAAT1 variants are transcribed at significantly lower rates (P<0.0001) in AD cases, supporting the theory that EAAT1 protein expression is reduced to a point where glutamate uptake normally mediated by this transporter is impaired. This in turn is thought to result in toxic levels glutamate accounting for neuronal loss in the disease. No area-dependent effects were found, suggesting that the reduction of EAAT1 transcription is rather a result of an underlying general mechanism present in AD. Further research will have to be done to assess the degree of EAAT1 expression in AD and whether those future findings match with the result of this project.
The Arctic plays a key role in Earth’s climate system as global warming is predicted to be most pronounced at high latitudes and because one third of the global carbon pool is stored in ecosystems of the northern latitudes. In order to improve our understanding of the present and future carbon dynamics in climate sensitive permafrost ecosystems, the present study concentrates on investigations of microbial controls of methane fluxes, on the activity and structure of the involved microbial communities, and on their response to changing environmental conditions. For this purpose an integrated research strategy was applied, which connects trace gas flux measurements to soil ecological characterisation of permafrost habitats and molecular ecological analyses of microbial populations. Furthermore, methanogenic archaea isolated from Siberian permafrost have been used as potential keystone organisms for studying and assessing life under extreme living conditions. Long-term studies on methane fluxes were carried out since 1998. These studies revealed considerable seasonal and spatial variations of methane emissions for the different landscape units ranging from 0 to 362 mg m-2 d-1. For the overall balance of methane emissions from the entire delta, the first land cover classification based on Landsat images was performed and applied for an upscaling of the methane flux data sets. The regionally weighted mean daily methane emissions of the Lena Delta (10 mg m-2 d-1) are only one fifth of the values calculated for other Arctic tundra environments. The calculated annual methane emission of the Lena Delta amounts to about 0.03 Tg. The low methane emission rates obtained in this study are the result of the used remotely sensed high-resolution data basis, which provides a more realistic estimation of the real methane emissions on a regional scale. Soil temperature and near soil surface atmospheric turbulence were identified as the driving parameters of methane emissions. A flux model based on these variables explained variations of the methane budget corresponding to continuous processes of microbial methane production and oxidation, and gas diffusion through soil and plants reasonably well. The results show that the Lena Delta contributes significantly to the global methane balance because of its extensive wetland areas. The microbiological investigations showed that permafrost soils are colonized by high numbers of microorganisms. The total biomass is comparable to temperate soil ecosystems. Activities of methanogens and methanotrophs differed significantly in their rates and distribution patterns along both the vertical profiles and the different investigated soils. The methane production rates varied between 0.3 and 38.9 nmol h-1 g-1, while the methane oxidation ranged from 0.2 to 7.0 nmol h-1 g-1. Phylogenetic analyses of methanogenic communities revealed a distinct diversity of methanogens affiliated to Methanomicrobiaceae, Methanosarcinaceae and Methanosaetaceae, which partly form four specific permafrost clusters. The results demonstrate the close relationship between methane fluxes and the fundamental microbiological processes in permafrost soils. The microorganisms do not only survive in their extreme habitat but also can be metabolic active under in situ conditions. It was shown that a slight increase of the temperature can lead to a substantial increase in methanogenic activity within perennially frozen deposits. In case of degradation, this would lead to an extensive expansion of the methane deposits with their subsequent impacts on total methane budget. Further studies on the stress response of methanogenic archaea, especially Methanosarcina SMA-21, isolated from Siberian permafrost, revealed an unexpected resistance of the microorganisms against unfavourable living conditions. A better adaptation to environmental stress was observed at 4 °C compared to 28 °C. For the first time it could be demonstrated that methanogenic archaea from terrestrial permafrost even survived simulated Martian conditions. The results show that permafrost methanogens are more resistant than methanogens from non-permafrost environments under Mars-like climate conditions. Microorganisms comparable to methanogens from terrestrial permafrost can be seen as one of the most likely candidates for life on Mars due to their physiological potential and metabolic specificity.
The cytoskeletal motor protein kinesin-1 (conventional kinesin) is the fast carrier for intracellular cargo transport along microtubules. So far most studies aimed at investigating the transport properties of individual motor molecules. However, the transport in cells usually involves the collective work of more than one motor. In the present work, we have studied the movement of beads as artificial loads/organelles pulled by several kinesin-1 motors in vitro. For a wide range of motor coverage of the beads and different bead (cargo) sizes the transport parameters walking distance or run length, velocity and force generation are measured. The results indicate that the transport parameters are influenced by the number of motors carrying the bead. While the transport velocity slightly decreases, an increase in the run length was measured and higher forces are determined, when more motors are involved. The effective number of motors pulling a bead is estimated by measuring the change in the hydrodynamic diameter of kinesin-coated beads using dynamic light scattering. The geometrical constraints imposed by the transport system have been taken into account. Thus, results for beads of different size and motor-surface coverage could be compared. In addition, run length-distributions obtained for the smallest bead size were matched to theoretically calculated distributions. The latter yielded an average number of pulling motors, which is in agreement with the effective motor numbers determined experimentally.
Being living systems unable to adjust their location to changing environmental conditions, plants display homeostatic networks that have evolved to maintain transition metal levels in a very narrow concentration range in order to avoid either deficiency or toxicity. Hence, plants possess a broad repertoire of mechanisms for the cellular uptake, compartmentation and efflux, as well as for the chelation of transition metal ions. A small number of plants are hypertolerant to one or a few specific transition metals. Some metal tolerant plants are also able to hyperaccumulate metal ions. The Brassicaceae family member Arabidopis halleri ssp. halleri (L.) O´KANE and AL´SHEHBAZ is a hyperaccumulator of zinc (Zn), and it is closely related to the non-hypertolerant and non-hyperaccumulating model plant Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) HEYNHOLD. The close relationship renders A. halleri a promising emerging model plant for the comparative investigation of the molecular mechanisms behind hypertolerance and hyperaccumulation. Among several potential candidate genes that are probably involved in mediating the zinc-hypertolerant and zinc-hyperaccumulating trait is AhHMA3. The AhHMA3 gene is highly similar to AtHMA3 (AGI number: At4g30120) in A. thaliana, and its encoded protein belongs to the P-type IB ATPase family of integral membrane transporter proteins that transport transition metals. In contrast to the low AtHMA3 transcript levels in A. thaliana, the gene was found to be constitutively highly expressed across different Zn treatments in A. halleri, especially in shoots. In this study, the cloning and characterisation of the HMA3 gene and its promoter from Arabidopsis halleri (L.) O´KANE and AL´SHEHBAZ and Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) HEYNHOLD is described. Heterologously expressed AhHMA3 mediated enhanced tolerance to Zn and to a much lesser degree to cadmium (Cd) but not to cobalt (Co) in metal-sensitive mutant strains of budding yeast. It is demonstrated that the genome of A. halleri contains at least four copies of AhHMA3, AhHMA3-1 to AhHMA3-4. A copy-specific real-time RT-PCR indicated that an AhHMA3-1 related gene copy is the source of the constitutively high transcript level in A. halleri and not a gene copy similar to AhHMA3-2 or AhHMA3-4. In accordance with the enhanced AtHMA3mRNA transcript level in A. thaliana roots, an AtHMA3 promoter-GUS gene construct mediated GUS activity predominantly in the vascular tissues of roots and not in shoots. However, the observed AhHMA3-1 and AhHMA3-2 promoter-mediated GUS activity in A. thaliana or A. halleri plants did not reflect the constitutively high expression of AhHMA3 in shoots of A. halleri. It is suggested that other factors e. g. characteristic sequence inserts within the first intron of AhHMA3-1 might enable a constitutively high expression. Moreover, the unknown promoter of the AhHMA3-3 gene copy could be the source of the constitutively high AhHMA3 transcript levels in A. halleri. In that case, the AhHMA3-3 sequence is predicted to be highly homologous to AhHMA3-1. The lack of solid localisation data for the AhHMA3 protein prevents a clear functional assignment. The provided data suggest several possible functions of the AhHMA3 protein: Like AtHMA2 and AtHMA4 it might be localised to the plasma membrane and could contribute to the efficient translocation of Zn from root to shoot and/or to the cell-to-cell distribution of Zn in the shoot. If localised to the vacuolar membrane, then a role in maintaining a low cytoplasmic zinc concentration by vacuolar zinc sequestration is possible. In addition, AhHMA3 might be involved in the delivery of zinc ions to trichomes and mesophyll leaf cells that are major zinc storage sites in A. halleri.
The need to develop sustainable resource management strategies for semi-arid and arid rangelands is acute as non-adapted grazing strategies lead to irreversible environmental problems such as desertification and associated loss of economic support to society. In such vulnerable ecosystems, successful implementation of sustainable management strategies depends on well-founded under-standing of processes at different scales that underlay the complex system dynamic. There is ample evidence that, in contrast to traditional sectoral approaches, only interdisciplinary research does work for resolving problems in conservation and natural resource management. In this thesis I combined a range of modeling approaches that integrate different disciplines and spatial scales in order to contribute to basic guidelines for sustainable management of semi-arid and arid range-lands. Since water availability and livestock management are seen as most potent determinants for the dynamics of semi-arid and arid ecosystems I focused on (i) the interaction of ecological and hydro-logical processes and (ii) the effect of farming strategies. First, I developed a grid-based and small-scaled model simulating vegetation dynamics and inter-linked hydrological processes. The simulation results suggest that ecohydrological interactions gain importance in rangelands with ascending slope where vegetation cover serves to obstruct run-off and decreases evaporation from the soil. Disturbances like overgrazing influence these positive feedback mechanisms by affecting vegetation cover and composition. In the second part, I present a modeling approach that has the power to transfer and integrate ecological information from the small scale vegetation model to the landscape scale, most relevant for the conservation of biodiversity and sustainable management of natural resources. I combined techniques of stochastic modeling with remotely sensed data and GIS to investigate to which ex-tent spatial interactions, like the movement of surface water by run-off in water limited environments, affect ecosystem functioning at the landscape scale. My simulation experiments show that overgrazing decreases the number of vegetation patches that act as hydrological sinks and run-off increases. The results of both simulation models implicate that different vegetation types should not only be regarded as provider of forage production but also as regulator of ecosystem functioning. Vegetation patches with good cover of perennial vegetation are capable to catch and conserve surface run-off from degraded surrounding areas. Therefore, downstream out of the simulated system is prevented and efficient use of water resources is guaranteed at all times. This consequence also applies to commercial rotational grazing strategies for semi-arid and arid rangelands with ascending slope where non-degraded paddocks act as hydrological sinks. Finally, by the help of an integrated ecological-economic modeling approach, I analyzed the relevance of farmers’ ecological knowledge for longterm functioning of semi-arid and arid grazing systems under current and future climatic conditions. The modeling approach consists of an ecological and an economic module and combines relevant processes on either level. Again, vegetation dynamics and forage productivity is derived by the small-scaled vegetation model. I showed that sustainable management of semi-arid and arid rangelands relies strongly on the farmers’ knowledge on how the ecosystem works. Furthermore, my simulation results indicate that the projected lower annual rainfall due to climate change in combination with non-adapted grazing strategies adds an additional layer of risk to these ecosystems that are already prone to land degradation. All simulation models focus on the most essential factors and ignore specific details. Therefore, even though all simulation models are parameterized for a specific dwarf shrub savanna in arid southern Namibia, the conclusions drawn are applicable for semi-arid and arid rangelands in general.
Sulphur, a macronutrient essential for plant growth, is among the most versatile elements in living organisms. Unfortunately, little is known about regulation of sulphate uptake and assimilation by plants. Identification of sulphate signalling processes will allow to control sulphate acquisition and assimilation and may prove useful in the future to improve sulphur-use efficiency in agriculture. Many of genes involved in sulphate metabolism are regulated on transcriptional level by products of other genes called transcription factors (TF). Several published experiments revealed TF genes that respond to sulphate deprivation, but none of these have been so far been characterized functionally. Thus, we aimed at identifying and characterising transcription factors that control sulphate metabolism in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. To achieve that goal we postulated that factors regulating Arabidopsis responses to inorganic sulphate deficiency change their transcriptional levels under sulphur-limited conditions. By comparing TF transcript profiles from plants grown on different sulphate regimes, we identified TF genes that may specifically induce or repress changes in expression of genes that allow plants to adapt to changes in sulphate availability. Candidate genes obtained from this screening were tested by reverse genetics approaches. Transgenic plants constitutively overproducing selected TF genes and mutant plants, lacking functional selected TF genes (knock out), were used. By comparing metabolite and transcript profiles from transgenic and wild type plants we aimed at confirming the role of selected AP2 TF candidate genes in plant adaptation to sulphur unavailability. After preliminary characterisation of WRKY24 and MYB93 TF genes, we postulate that these factors are involved in a complex multifactorial regulatory network, in which WRKY24 and MYB93 would act as superior factors regulating other transcription factors directly involved in the regulation of S-metabolism genes. Results obtained for plants overproducing TOE1 and TOE2 TF genes suggests that these factors may be involved in a mechanism, which is promoting synthesis of an essential amino acid, methionine, over synthesis of another amino acid, cysteine. Thus, TOE1 and TOE2 genes might be a part of transcriptional regulation of methionine synthesis. Approaches creating genetically manipulated plants may produce plant phenotypes of immediate biotechnological interest, such as plants with increased sulphate or sulphate-containing amino acid content, or better adapted to the sulphate unavailability.
The central melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) system has been intensively studied for its involvement in the regulation of feeding behaviour and body weight regulation. The importance of the neuropeptide MCH in the control of energy balance has been underlined by MCH knock out and Melanin-concentrating hormone receptor subtype 1 (MCHR-1) knock-out animals. The anorectic and anti-obesity effects of selective MCHR-1 antagonists have confirmed the notion that pharmacological blockade of MCHR-1 is a potential therapeutic approach for obesity. First aim of this work is to study the neurochemical “equipment” of MCHR-1 immunoreactive neurons by double-labelling immunohistochemistry within the rat hypothalamus. Of special interest is the neuroanatomical identification of other hypothalamic neuropeptides that are co-distributed with MCHR-1. A second part of this study deals with the examination of neuronal activation patterns after pharmacological or physiological, feeding-related stimuli and was introduced to further understand central regulatory mechanisms of the MCH system. In the first part of work, I wanted to neurochemically characterize MCHR-1 immunoreactive neurons in the rat hypothalamus for colocalisation with neuropeptides of interest. Therefore I performed an immunohistochemical colocalisation study using a specific antibody against MCHR-1 in combination with antibodies against hypothalamic neuropeptides. I showed that MCHR-1 immunoreactivity (IR) was co-localised with orexin A in the lateral hypothalamus, and with adrenocorticotropic hormone and neuropeptide Y in the arcuate nucleus. Additionally, MCHR-1 IR was co-localised with the neuropeptides vasopressin and oxytocin in magnocellular neurons of the supraoptic and paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus and corticotrophin releasing hormone in the parvocellular division of the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus. Moreover, for the first time MCHR-1 immunoreactivity was found in both the adenohypophyseal and neurohypophyseal part of the rat pituitary. These results provide the neurochemical basis for previously described potential physiological actions of MCH at its target receptor. In particular, the MCHR-1 may be involved not only in food intake regulation, but also in other physiological actions such as fluid regulation, reproduction and stress response, possibly through here examined neuropeptides. Central activation patterns induced by pharmacological or physiological stimulation can be mapped using c-Fos immunohistochemistry. In the first experimental design, central administration (icv) of MCH in the rat brain resulted in acute and significant increase of food and water intake, but this animal treatment did not induce a specific c-Fos induction pattern in hypothalamic nuclei. In contrast, sub-chronic application of MCHR-1 antagonist promoted a significant decrease in food- and water intake during an eight day treatment period. A qualitative analysis of c-Fos immunohistochemistry of sections derived from MCHR-1 antagonist treated animals showed a specific neuronal activation in the paraventricular nucleus, the supraoptic nucleus and the dorsomedial hypothalamus. These results could be substantiated by quantitative evaluation of an automated, software-supported analysis of the c-Fos signal. Additionally, I examined the activation pattern of rats in a restricted feeding schedule (RFS) to identify pathways involved in hunger and satiety. Animals were trained for 9 days to feed during a three hour period. On the last day, food restricted animals was also allowed to feed for the three hours, while food deprived (FD) animals did not receive food. Mapping of neuronal activation showed a clear difference between stareved (FD) and satiated (FR) rats. FD animals showed significant induction of c-Fos in forebrain regions, several hypothalamic nuclei, amygdaloid thalamus and FR animals in the supraoptic nucleus and the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus, and the nucleus of the solitary tract. In the lateral hypothalamus of FD rats, c-Fos IR showed strong colocalisation for Orexin A, but no co-staining for MCH immunoreactivity. However, a large number of c-Fos IR neurons within activated regions of FD and FR animals was co-localised with MCHR-1 within selected regions. To conclude, the experimental set-up of scheduled feeding can be used to induce a specific hunger or satiety activation pattern within the rat brain. My results show a differential activation by hunger signals of MCH neurons and furthermore, demonstrates that MCHR-1 expressing neurons may be essential parts of downstream processing of physiological feeding/hunger stimuli. In the final part of my work, the relevance of here presented studies is discussed with respect to possible introduction of MCHR-1 antagonists as drug candidates for the treatment of obesity.
Global Circulation Models of climate predict not only a change of annual precipitation amounts but also a shift in the daily distribution. To improve the understanding of the importance of daily rain pattern for annual plant communities, which represent a large portion of semi-natural vegetation in the Middle East, I used a detailed, spatially explicit model. The model explicitly considers water storage in the soil and has been parameterized and validated with data collected in field experiments in Israel and data from the literature. I manipulated daily rainfall variability by increasing the mean daily rain intensity on rainy days (MDI, rain volume/day) and decreasing intervals between rainy days while keeping the mean annual amount constant. In factorial combination, I also increased mean annual precipitation (MAP). I considered five climatic regions characterized by 100, 300, 450, 600, and 800 mm MAP. Increasing MDI decreased establishment when MAP was >250 mm but increased establishment at more arid sites. The negative effect of increasing MDI was compensated by increasing mortality with increasing MDI in dry and typical Mediterranean regions (c. 360–720 mm MAP). These effects were strongly tied to water availability in upper and lower soil layers and modified by competition among seedlings and adults. Increasing MAP generally increased water availability, establishment, and density. The order of magnitudes of MDI and MAP effects overlapped partially so that their combined effect is important for projections of climate change effects on annual vegetation. The effect size of MAP and MDI followed a sigmoid curve along the MAP gradient indicating that the semi-arid region (≈300 mm MAP) is the most sensitive to precipitation change with regard to annual communitie
Development and application of novel genetic transformation technologies in maize (Zea mays L.)
(2007)
Plant genetic engineering approaches are of pivotal importance to both basic and applied research. However, rapid commercialization of genetically engineered crops, especially maize, raises several ecological and environmental concerns largely related to transgene flow via pollination. In most crops, the plastid genome is inherited uniparentally in a maternal manner. Consequently, a trait introduced into the plastid genome would not be transferred to the sexually compatible relatives of the crops via pollination. Thus, beside its several other advantages, plastid transformation provides transgene containment, and therefore, is an environmentally friendly approach for genetic engineering of crop plants. Reliable in vitro regeneration systems allowing repeated rounds of regeneration are of utmost importance to development of plastid transformation technologies in higher plants. While being the world’s major food crops, cereals are among the most difficult-to-handle plants in tissue culture which severely limits genetic engineering approaches. In maize, immature zygotic embryos provide the predominantly used material for establishing regeneration-competent cell or callus cultures for genetic transformation experiments. The procedures involved are demanding, laborious and time consuming and depend on greenhouse facilities. In one part of this work, a novel tissue culture and plant regeneration system was developed that uses maize leaf tissue and thus is independent of zygotic embryos and greenhouse facilities. Also, protocols were established for (i) the efficient induction of regeneration-competent callus from maize leaves in the dark, (ii) inducing highly regenerable callus in the light, and (iii) the use of leaf-derived callus for the generation of stably transformed maize plants. Furthermore, several selection methods were tested for developing a plastid transformation system in maize. However, stable plastid transformed maize plants could not be yet recovered. Possible explanations as well as suggestions for future attempts towards developing plastid transformation in maize are discussed. Nevertheless, these results represent a first essential step towards developing chloroplast transformation technology for maize, a method that requires multiple rounds of plant regeneration and selection to obtain genetically stable transgenic plants. In order to apply the newly developed transformation system towards metabolic engineering of carotenoid biosynthesis, the daffodil phytoene synthase (PSY) gene was integrated into the maize genome. The results illustrate that expression of a recombinant PSY significantly increases carotenoid levels in leaves. The beta-carotene (pro-vitamin A) amounts in leaves of transgenic plants were increased by ~21% in comparison to the wild-type. These results represent evidence for maize to have significant potential to accumulate higher amounts of carotenoids, especially beta-carotene, through transgenic expression of phytoene synthases. Finally, progresses were made towards developing transformation technologies in Peperomia (Piperaceae) by establishing an efficient leaf-based regeneration system. Also, factors determining plastid size and number in Peperomia, whose species display great interspecific variation in chloroplast size and number per cell, were investigated. The results suggest that organelle size and number are regulated in a tissue-specific manner rather than in dependency on the plastid type. Investigating plastid morphology in Peperomia species with giant chloroplasts, plasmatic connections between chloroplasts (stromules) were observed under the light microscope and in the absence of tissue fixation or GFP overexpression demonstrating the relevance of these structures in vivo. Furthermore, bacteria-like microorganisms were discovered within Peperomia cells, suggesting that this genus provides an interesting model not only for studying plastid biology but also for investigating plant-microbe interactions.
Biochemical and physiological studies of Arabidopsis thaliana Diacylglycerol Kinase 7 (AtDGK7)
(2006)
A family of diacylglycerol kinases (DGK) phosphorylates the substrate diacylglycerol (DAG) to generate phosphatidic acid (PA) . Both molecules, DAG and PA, are involved in signal transduction pathways. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, seven candidate genes (named AtDGK1 to AtDGK7) code for putative DGK isoforms. Here I report the molecular cloning and characterization of AtDGK7. Biochemical, molecular and physiological experiments of AtDGK7 and their corresponding enzyme are analyzed. Information from Genevestigator says that AtDGK7 gene is expressed in seedlings and adult Arabidopsis plants, especially in flowers. The AtDGK7 gene encodes the smallest functional DGK predicted in higher plants; but also, has an alternative coding sequence containing an extended AtDGK7 open reading frame, confirmed by PCR and submitted to the GenBank database (under the accession number DQ350135). The new cDNA has an extension of 439 nucleotides coding for 118 additional amino acids The former AtDGK7 enzyme has a predicted molecular mass of ~41 kDa and its activity is affected by pH and detergents. The DGK inhibitor R59022 also affects AtDGK7 activity, although at higher concentrations (i.e. IC50 ~380 µM). The AtDGK7 enzyme also shows a Michaelis-Menten type saturation curve for 1,2-DOG. Calculated Km and Vmax were 36 µM 1,2-DOG and 0.18 pmol PA min-1 mg of protein-1, respectively, under the assay conditions. Former protein AtDGK7 are able to phosphorylate different DAG analogs that are typically found in plants. The new deduced AtDGK7 protein harbors the catalytic DGKc and accessory domains DGKa, instead the truncated one as the former AtDGK7 protein (Gomez-Merino et al., 2005).
Different habitat models were created for the White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) in the region of the former German province of East Prussia (equals app. the current Russian oblast Kaliningrad and the Polish voivodship Warmia-Masuria). Different historical data sets describing the occurrence of the White Stork in the 1930s, as well as selected variables for the description of landscape and habitat, were employed. The processing and modeling of the applied data sets was done with a geographical information system (ArcGIS) and a statistical modeling approach that comes from the disciplines of machine-learning and data mining (TreeNet by Salford Systems Ltd.). Applying historical habitat descriptors, as well as data on the occurrence of the White Stork, models on two different scales were created: (i) a point scale model applying a raster with a cell size of 1 km2 and (ii) an administrative district scale model based on the organization of the former province of East Prussia. The evaluation of the created models show that the occurrence of White Stork nesting grounds in the former East Prussia for most parts is defined by the variables ‘forest’, ‘settlement area’, ‘pasture land’ and ‘proximity to coastline’. From this set of variables it can be assumed that a good food supply and nesting opportunities are provided to the White Stork in pasture and meadows as well as in the proximity to human settlements. These could be seen as crucial factors for the choice of nesting White Stork in East Prussia. Dense forest areas appear to be unsuited as nesting grounds of White Storks. The high influence of the variable ‘coastline’ is most likely explained by the specific landscape composition of East Prussia parallel to the coastline and is to be seen as a proximal factor for explaining the distribution of breeding White Storks. In a second step, predictions for the period of 1981 to 1993 could be made applying both scales of the models created in this study. In doing so, a decline of potential nesting habitat was predicted on the point scale. In contrast, the predicted White Stork occurrence increases when applying the model of the administrative district scale. The difference between both predictions is to be seen in the application of different scales (density versus suitability as breeding ground) and partly dissimilar explanatory variables. More studies are needed to investigate this phenomenon. The model predictions for the period 1981 to 1993 could be compared to the available inventories of that period. It shows that the figures predicted here were higher than the figures established by the census. This means that the models created here show rather a capacity of the habitat (potential niche). Other factors affecting the population size e.g. breeding success or mortality have to be investigated further. A feasible approach on how to generate possible habitat models was shown employing the methods presented here and applying historical data as well as assessing the effects of changes in land use on the White Stork. The models present the first of their kind, and could be improved by means of further data regarding the structure of the habitat and more exact spatially explicit information on the location of the nesting sites of the White Stork. In a further step, a habitat model of the present times should be created. This would allow for a more precise comparison regarding the findings from the changes of land use and relevant conditions of the environment on the White Stork in the region of former East Prussia, e.g. in the light of coming landscape changes brought by the European Union (EU).
During the last decades, the global change of the environment has caused a dramatic loss of habitats and species. In Central Europe, open habitats are particularly affected. The main objective of this thesis was to experimentally test the suitability of wild megaherbivore grazing as a conservation tool to manage open habitats. We studied the effect of wild ungulates in a 160 ha game preserve in NE Germany in three successional stages (i) Corynephorus canescens-dominated grassland, (ii) ruderal tall forb vegetation dominated by Tanacetum vulgare and (iii) Pinus sylvestris-pioneer forest over three years. Our results demonstrate that wild megaherbivores considerably affected species composition and delayed successional pathways in open habitats. Grazing effects differed considerably between successional stages: species richness was higher in grazed ruderal and pioneer forest plots, but not in the Corynephorus sites. Species composition changed significantly in the Corynephorus and ruderal sites. Grazed ruderal sites had turned into sites with very short vegetation dominated by Agrostis spp. and the moss Brachythecium albicans, most species did not flower. Woody plant cover was significantly affected only in the pioneer forest sites. Young pine trees were severely damaged and tree height was considerably reduced, leading to a “Pinus-macchie”-appearance. Ecological patterns and processes are known to vary with spatial scale. Since grazing by megaherbivores has a strong spatial component, the scale of monitoring success of grazing may largely differ among and within different systems. Thus, the second aim of this thesis was to test whether grazing effects are consistent over different spatial scales, and to give recommendations for appropriate monitoring scales. For this purpose, we studied grazing effects on plant community structure using multi-scale plots that included three nested spatial scales (0.25 m2, 4 m2, and 40 m2). Over all vegetation types, the scale of observation directly affected grazing effects on woody plant cover and on floristic similarity, but not on the proportion of open soil and species richness. Grazing effects manifested at small scales regarding floristic similarity in pioneer forest and ruderal sites and regarding species richness in ruderal sites. The direction of scale-effects on similarity differed between vegetation types: Grazing effects on floristic similarity in the Corynephorus sites were significantly higher at the medium and large scale, while in the pioneer forest sites they were significantly higher at the smallest scale. Disturbances initiate vegetation changes by creating gaps and affecting colonization and extinction rates. The third intention of the thesis was to investigate the effect of small-scale disturbances on the species-level. In a sowing experiment, we studied early establishment probabilities of Corynephorus canescens, a key species of open sandy habitats. Applying two different regimes of mechanical ground disturbance (disturbed and undisturbed) in the three successional stages mentioned above, we focused on the interactive effects of small-scale disturbances, successional stage and year-to-year variation. Disturbance led to higher emergence in a humid and to lower emergence in a very dry year. Apparently, when soil moisture was sufficient, the main factor limiting C. canescens establishment was competition, while in the dry year water became the limiting factor. Survival rates were not affected by disturbance. In humid years, C. canescens emerged in higher numbers in open successional stages while in the dry year, emergence rates were higher in late stages, suggesting an important role of late successional stages for the persistence of C. canescens. We conclude that wild ungulate grazing is a useful tool to slow down succession and to preserve a species-rich, open landscape, because it does not only create disturbances, thereby supporting early successional stages, but at the same time efficiently controls woody plant cover. However, wild ungulate grazing considerably changed the overall appearance of the landscape. Additional measures like shifting exclosures might be necessary to allow vulnerable species to flower and reproduce. We further conclude that studying grazing impacts on a range of scales is crucial, since different parameters are affected at different spatial scales. Larger scales are suitable for assessing grazing impact on structural parameters like the proportion of open soil or woody plant cover, whereas species richness and floristic similarity are affected at smaller scales. Our results further indicate that the optimal strategy for promoting C. canescens is to apply disturbances just before seed dispersal and not during dry years. Further, at the landscape scale, facilitation by late successional species may be an important mechanism for the persistence of protected pioneer species.
Sucrose synthase (Susy) is a key enzyme of sucrose metabolism, catalysing the reversible conversion of sucrose and UDP to UDP-glucose and fructose. Therefore, its activity, localization and function have been studied in various plant species. It has been shown that Susy can play a role in supplying energy in companion cells for phloem loading (Fu and Park, 1995), provides substrates for starch synthesis (Zrenner et al., 1995), and supplies UDP-glucose for cell wall synthesis (Haigler et al., 2001). Analysis of the Arabidopsis genome identifies six Susy isoforms. The expression of these isoforms was investigated using promoter-reporter gene constructs (GUS) and real time RT-PCR. Although these isoforms are closely related at the protein level they have radically different spatial and temporal patterns of expression in the plant with no two isoforms showing the same distribution. More than one isoform is expressed in all organs examined. Some of them have high but specific expression in particular organs or developmental stages whilst others are constantly expressed throughout the whole plant and across various stages of development. The in planta function of the six Susy isoforms were explored through analysis of T-DNA insertion mutants and RNAi lines. Plants without the expression of individual isoforms show no differences in growth and development, and are not significantly different from wild type plants in soluble sugars, starch and cellulose contents under all growth conditions investigated. Analysis of T-DNA insertion mutant lacking Sus3 isoform that was exclusively expressed in stomata cells only had a minor influence on guard cell osmoregulation and/or bioenergetics. Although none of the sucrose synthases appear to be essential for normal growth under our standard growth conditions, they may be necessary for growth under stress conditions. Different isoforms of sucrose synthase respond differently to various abiotic stresses. It has been shown that oxygen deprivation up regulates Sus1 and Sus4 and increases total Susy activity. However, the analysis of the plants with reduced expression of both Sus1 and Sus4 revealed no obvious effects on plant performance under oxygen deprivation. Low temperature up regulates Sus1 expression but the loss of this isoform has no effect on the freezing tolerance of non acclimated and cold acclimated plants. These data provide a comprehensive overview of the expression of this gene family which supports some of the previously reported roles for Susy and indicates the involvement of specific isoforms in metabolism and/or signalling.
The aim of this study was to provide deeper insights in passerine phylogenetic relationships using new molecular markers. The monophyly of the largest avian order Passeriformes (~59% of all living birds) and the division into its suborders suboscines and oscines are well established. Phylogenetic relationships within the group have been extremely puzzling, as most of the evolutionary lineages originated through rapid radiation. Numerous studies have hypothesised conflicting passerine phylogenies and have repeatedly stimulated further research with new markers. In the present study, I used three different approaches to contribute to the ongoing phylogenetic debate in Passeriformes. I investigated the recently introduced gene ZENK for its phylogenetic utility for passerine systematics in combination and comparison to three already established nuclear markers. My phylogenetic analyses of a comprehensive data set yielded highly resolved, consistent and strongly supported trees. I was able to show the high utility of ZENK for elucidating phylogenetic relationships within Passeriformes. For the second and third approach, I used chicken repeat 1 (CR1) retrotransposons as phylogenetic markers. I presented two specific CR1 insertions as apomorphic characters, whose presence/absence pattern significantly contributed to the resolution of a particular phylogenetic uncertainty, namely the position of the rockfowl species Picathartes spp. in the passerine tree. Based on my results, I suggest a closer relationship of these birds to crows, ravens, jays, and allies. For the third approach, I showed that CR1 sequences contain phylogenetic signal and investigated their applicability in more detail. In this context, I screened for CR1 elements in different passerine birds, used sequences of several loci to construct phylogenetic trees, and evaluated their reliability. I was able to corroborate existing hypotheses and provide strong evidence for some new hypotheses, e.g. I suggest a revision of the taxa Corvidae and Corvinae as vireos are closer related to crows, ravens, and allies. The subdivision of the Passerida into three superfamilies, Sylvioidea, Passeroidea, and Muscicapoidea was strongly supported. I found evidence for a split within Sylvioidea into two clades, one consisting of tits and the other comprising warblers, bulbuls, laughingthrushes, whitethroats, and allies. Whereas Passeridae appear to be paraphyletic, monophyly of weavers and estrild finches as a separate clade was strongly supported. The sister taxon relationships of dippers and the thrushes/flycatcher/chat assemblage was corroborated and I suggest a closer relationship of waxwings and kinglets to wrens, tree-creepers, and nuthatches.
This study introduces a method for multiparallel analysis of small organic compounds in the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, one of the premier model organisms in cell biology. The comprehensive study of the changes of metabolite composition, or metabolomics, in response to environmental, genetic or developmental signals is an important complement of other functional genomic techniques in the effort to develop an understanding of how genes, proteins and metabolites are all integrated into a seamless and dynamic network to sustain cellular functions. The sample preparation protocol was optimized to quickly inactivate enzymatic activity, achieve maximum extraction capacity and process large sample quantities. As a result of the rapid sampling, extraction and analysis by gas chromatography coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOF) more than 800 analytes from a single sample can be measured, of which over a 100 could be positively identified. As part of the analysis of GC-TOF raw data, aliquot ratio analysis to systematically remove artifact signals and tools for the use of principal component analysis (PCA) on metabolomic datasets are proposed. Cells subjected to nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S) or iron (Fe) depleted growth conditions develop highly distinctive metabolite profiles with metabolites implicated in many different processes being affected in their concentration during adaptation to nutrient deprivation. Metabolite profiling allowed characterization of both specific and general responses to nutrient deprivation at the metabolite level. Modulation of the substrates for N-assimilation and the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway indicated a priority for maintaining the capability for immediate activation of N assimilation even under conditions of decreased metabolic activity and arrested growth, while the rise in 4-hydroxyproline in S deprived cells could be related to enhanced degradation of proteins of the cell wall. The adaptation to sulfur deficiency was analyzed with greater temporal resolution and responses of wild-type cells were compared with mutant cells deficient in SAC1, an important regulator of the sulfur deficiency response. Whereas concurrent metabolite depletion and accumulation occurs during adaptation to S deprivation in wild-type cells, the sac1 mutant strain is characterized by a massive incapability to sustain many processes that normally lead to transient or permanent accumulation of the levels of certain metabolites or recovery of metabolite levels after initial down-regulation. For most of the steps in arginine biosynthesis in Chlamydomonas mutants have been isolated that are deficient in the respective enzyme activities. Three strains deficient in the activities of N-acetylglutamate-5-phosphate reductase (arg1), N2 acetylornithine-aminotransferase (arg9), and argininosuccinate lyase (arg2), respectively, were analyzed with regard to activation of endogenous arginine biosynthesis after withdrawal of externally supplied arginine. Enzymatic blocks in the arginine biosynthetic pathway could be characterized by precursor accumulation, like the amassment of argininosuccinate in arg2 cells, and depletion of intermediates occurring downstream of the enzymatic block, e.g. N2-acetylornithine, ornithine, and argininosuccinate depletion in arg9 cells. The unexpected finding of substantial levels of the arginine pathway intermediates N-acetylornithine, citrulline, and argininosuccinate downstream the enzymatic block in arg1 cells provided an explanation for the residual growth capacity of these cells in the absence of external arginine sources. The presence of these compounds, together with the unusual accumulation of N-Acetylglutamate, the first intermediate that commits the glutamate backbone to ornithine and arginine biosynthesis, in arg1 cells suggests that alternative pathways, possibly involving the activity of ornithine aminotransferase, may be active when the default reaction sequence to produce ornithine via acetylation of glutamate is disabled.
Daylength is one of several parameters controlling flowering time in many plant species. The day length is perceived in leaves, but how the floral signal is transduced to the shoot apex via the phloem to induce flowering remains to be elucidated. This study aimed at the identification of new candidates involved in the induction of flowering by employing three plant species, Arabidopsis thaliana, Sinapis alba and Brassica napus in combination with transcript profiling by Affymetrix chip hybridization, metabolite profiling by gas chromatography – mass spectrometry and targeted protein analysis using antibodies. All analyses were performed on tissue-specific samples and focused on phloem sap or phloem exudates. To find common transcript and metabolite candidates potentially associated with the floral transition, two independent induction systems in Arabidopsis were used: a photoextension system, whereby plants received fourteen additional hours of light, and a parallel dexamethasone-inducible system, which was centered on the induction of the known flowering gene CONSTANS (CO). Identification of signals preceding the CO cascade was possible using the light extension regime, while downstream events dependent on CO activation were compared in both systems. Altogether, a number of interesting transcript and metabolite candidates were identified in both systems with some degree of overlap. Sinapis alba was used to investigate the universality of the floral signals between species. Comparisons of metabolite data revealed a few common candidates that may prove interesting for further studies. In addition, a targeted approach was carried out to investigate the presence of the Flowering Locus T (FT) protein during different stages of flower development using an antibody. Interesting changes in the sizes of antigens from rape phloem were seen and appeared consistent in Arabidopsis and to a lesser extent in Sinapis. Overall, the broad surveying approaches for transcripts and metabolites used in this study revealed several new potential candidates involved in the induction and/or regulation of flowering. As far as the protein work, additional experiments will reveal the link between FT and floral induction as well as its role in maintaining the floral state using the abovementioned plant species.
The ultimate aim of this study is to better understand the relevance of weak electricity in the adaptive radiation of the African mormyrid fish. The chosen model taxon, the genus Campylomormyrus, exhibits a wide diversity of electric organ discharge (EOD) waveform types. Their EOD is age, sex, and species specific and is an important character for discriminating among species that are otherwise cryptic. After having established a complementary set of molecular markers, I examined the radiation of Campylomormyrus by a combined approach of molecular data (sequence data from the mitochondrial cytochrome b and the nuclear S7 ribosomal protein gene, as well as 18 microsatellite loci, especially developed for the genus Campylomormyrus), observation of ontogeny and diversification of EOD waveform, and morphometric analysis of relevant morphological traits. I built up the first convincing phylogenetic hypothesis for the genus Campylomormyrus. Taking advantage of microsatellite data, the identified phylogenetic clades proved to be reproductively isolated biological species. This way I detected at least six species occurring in sympatry near Brazzaville/Kinshasa (Congo Basin). By combining molecular data and EOD analyses, I could show that there are three cryptic species, characterised by their own adult EOD types, hidden under a common juvenile EOD form. In addition, I confirmed that adult male EOD is species-specific and is more different among closely related species than among more distantly related ones. This result and the observation that the EOD changes with maturity suggest its function as a reproductive isolation mechanism. As a result of my morphometric shape analysis, I could assign species types to the identified reproductively isolated groups to produce a sound taxonomy of the group. Besides this, I could also identify morphological traits relevant for the divergences between the identified species. Among them, the variations I found in the shape of the trunk-like snout, suggest the presence of different trophic specializations; therefore, this trait might have been involved in the ecological radiation of the group. In conclusion, I provided a convincing scenario envisioning an adaptive radiation of weakly electric fish triggered by sexual selection via assortative mating due to differences in EOD characteristics, but caused by a divergent selection of morphological traits correlated with the feeding ecology.
In silico identification of genes regulated by abscisic acid in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh.
(2005)
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a major plant hormone that plays an important role during plant growth and development. During vegetative growth ABA mediates (in part) responses to various environmental stresses such as cold, drought and high salinity. The response triggered by ABA includes changes in the transcript level of genes involved in stress tolerance. The aim of this project was the In silico identification of genes putatively regulated by ABA in A. thaliana. In silico predictions were combined with experimental data in order to evaluate the reliability of computational predictions. Taking advantage of the genome sequence of A. thaliana publicly available since 2000, 1 kb upstream sequences were screened for combinations of cis-elements known to be involved in the regulation of ABA-responsive genes. It was found that around 10 to 20 percent of the genes of A. thaliana might be regulated by ABA. Further analyses of the predictions revealed that certain combinations of cis-elements that confer ABA-responsiveness were significantly over-represented compared with results in random sequences and with random expectations. In addition, it was observed that other combinations that confer ABA-responsiveness in monocotyledonous species might not be functional in A. thaliana. It is proposed that ABA-responsive genes in A. thaliana show pairs of ABRE (abscisic acid responsive element) with MYB binding sites, DRE (dehydration responsive element) or with itself. The analysis of the distances between pairs of cis-elements suggested that pairs of ABREs are bound by homodimers of ABRE binding proteins. In contrast, pairs between MYB binding sites and ABRE, or DRE and ABRE showed a distance between cis-elements that suggested that the binding proteins interact through protein complexes and not directly. The comparison of computational predictions with experimental data confirmed that the regulatory mechanisms leading to the induction or repression of genes by ABA is very incompletely understood. It became evident that besides the cis-elements proposed in this study to be present in ABA-responsive genes, other known and unknown cis-elements might play an important role in the transcriptional regulation of ABA-responsive genes. For example, auxin-related cis elements, or the cis-elements recognized by the NAM-family of transcription factors (Non-Apical meristem). This work documents the use of computational and experimental approaches to analyse possible interactions between cis-elements involved in the regulation of ABA-responsive genes. The computational predictions allowed the distinction between putatively relevant combinations of cis-elements from irrelevant combinations of cis-elements in ABA-responsive genes. The comparison with experimental data allowed to identify certain cis-elements that have not been previously associated to the ABA-mediated transcriptional regulation, but that might be present in ABA-responsive genes (e.g. auxin responsive elements). Moreover, the efforts to unravel the gene regulatory network associated with the ABA-signalling pathway revealed that NAM-transcription factors and their corresponding binding sequences are important components of this network.
The advent of large-scale and high-throughput technologies has recently caused a shift in focus in contemporary biology from decades of reductionism towards a more systemic view. Alongside the availability of genome sequences the exploration of organisms utilizing such approach should give rise to a more comprehensive understanding of complex systems. Domestication and intensive breeding of crop plants has led to a parallel narrowing of their genetic basis. The potential to improve crops by conventional breeding using elite cultivars is therefore rather limited and molecular technologies, such as marker assisted selection (MAS) are currently being exploited to re-introduce allelic variance from wild species. Molecular breeding strategies have mostly focused on the introduction of yield or resistance related traits to date. However given that medical research has highlighted the importance of crop compositional quality in the human diet this research field is rapidly becoming more important. Chemical composition of biological tissues can be efficiently assessed by metabolite profiling techniques, which allow the multivariate detection of metabolites of a given biological sample. Here, a GC/MS metabolite profiling approach has been applied to investigate natural variation of tomatoes with respect to the chemical composition of their fruits. The establishment of a mass spectral and retention index (MSRI) library was a prerequisite for this work in order to establish a framework for the identification of metabolites from a complex mixture. As mass spectral and retention index information is highly important for the metabolomics community this library was made publicly available. Metabolite profiling of tomato wild species revealed large differences in the chemical composition, especially of amino and organic acids, as well as on the sugar composition and secondary metabolites. Intriguingly, the analysis of a set of S. pennellii introgression lines (IL) identified 889 quantitative trait loci of compositional quality and 326 yield-associated traits. These traits are characterized by increases/decreases not only of single metabolites but also of entire metabolic pathways, thus highlighting the potential of this approach in uncovering novel aspects of metabolic regulation. Finally the biosynthetic pathway of the phenylalanine-derived fruit volatiles phenylethanol and phenylacetaldehyde was elucidated via a combination of metabolic profiling of natural variation, stable isotope tracer experiments and reverse genetic experimentation.
In semi-arid savannas, unsustainable land use can lead to degradation of entire landscapes, e.g. in the form of shrub encroachment. This leads to habitat loss and is assumed to reduce species diversity. In BIOTA phase 1, we investigated the effects of land use on population dynamics on farm scale. In phase 2 we scale up to consider the whole regional landscape consisting of a diverse mosaic of farms with different historic and present land use intensities. This mosaic creates a heterogeneous, dynamic pattern of structural diversity at a large spatial scale. Understanding how the region-wide dynamic land use pattern affects the abundance of animal and plant species requires the integration of processes on large as well as on small spatial scales. In our multidisciplinary approach, we integrate information from remote sensing, genetic and ecological field studies as well as small scale process models in a dynamic region-wide simulation tool. <hr> Interdisziplinäres Zentrum für Musterdynamik und Angewandte Fernerkundung Workshop vom 9. - 10. Februar 2006.
Decisions for the conservation of biodiversity and sustainable management of natural resources are typically related to large scales, i.e. the landscape level. However, understanding and predicting the effects of land use and climate change on scales relevant for decision-making requires to include both, large scale vegetation dynamics and small scale processes, such as soil-plant interactions. Integrating the results of multiple BIOTA subprojects enabled us to include necessary data of soil science, botany, socio-economics and remote sensing into a high resolution, process-based and spatially-explicit model. Using an example from a sustainably-used research farm and a communally used and degraded farming area in semiarid southern Namibia we show the power of simulation models as a tool to integrate processes across disciplines and scales.
From its first use in the field of biochemistry, instrumental analysis offered a variety of invaluable tools for the comprehensive description of biological systems. Multi-selective methods that aim to cover as many endogenous compounds as possible in biological samples use different analytical platforms and include methods like gene expression profile and metabolite profile analysis. The enormous amount of data generated in application of profiling methods needs to be evaluated in a manner appropriate to the question under investigation. The new field of system biology rises to the challenge to develop strategies for collecting, processing, interpreting, and archiving this vast amount of data; to make those data available in form of databases, tools, models, and networks to the scientific community. On the background of this development a multi-selective method for the determination of phytohormones was developed and optimised, complementing the profile analyses which are already in use (Chapter I). The general feasibility of a simultaneous analysis of plant metabolites and phytohormones in one sample set-up was tested by studies on the analytical robustness of the metabolite profiling protocol. The recovery of plant metabolites proved to be satisfactory robust against variations in the extraction protocol by using common extraction procedures for phytohormones; a joint extraction of metabolites and hormones from plant tissue seems practicable (Chapter II). Quantification of compounds within the context of profiling methods requires particular scrutiny (Chapter II). In Chapter III, the potential of stable-isotope in vivo labelling as normalisation strategy for profiling data acquired with mass spectrometry is discussed. First promising results were obtained for a reproducible quantification by stable-isotope in vivo labelling, which was applied in metabolomic studies. In-parallel application of metabolite and phytohormone analysis to seedlings of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana exposed to sulfate limitation was used to investigate the relationship between the endogenous concentration of signal elements and the ‘metabolic phenotype’ of a plant. An automated evaluation strategy was developed to process data of compounds with diverse physiological nature, such as signal elements, genes and metabolites – all which act in vivo in a conditional, time-resolved manner (Chapter IV). Final data analysis focussed on conditionality of signal-metabolome interactions.
The major aim of this work was the identification of new phloem sap proteins and a metabolic characterisation of this transport fluid. The experiments were performed on the three plant species C. sativus, C. maxima and B. napus. To characterise the phloem samples from B. napus, a new model plant for phloem analysis, western blot tests together with metabolite profiling were performed. GC-MS metabolite profiling and enzyme assays were used for measuring metabolites in the phloem of B. napus. Results from the phloem sap measurements showed, as expected, a typical sugar distribution for apoplasmic phloem loaders with sucrose being the predominant sugar. In stem extracts, the most abundant sugar was glucose with much lower fructose and sucrose levels. With the GC-MS approach it was possible to identify a number of metabolites which showed a differential distribution when phloem and stem tissue extracts were compared. For protein identification, two different approaches were employed (i) screening expression libraries with total phloem protein specific antisera and (ii) protein separation on 2 DE gels followed by ESI-MS/MS sequence analyses. For the first approach, three different phloem protein-specific antisera were produced and expression libraries were constructed. Phloem protein antisera were tested for specificity and some attempts to estimate specific epitopes were undertaken. Screening of the libraries resulted in the identification of 14 different proteins from all investigated species. Analyses of B. napus phloem sap proteins from 2 DE with ESI-MS/MS resulted in the identification of 5 different proteins. The phloem localisation of the identified proteins was additionally confirmed by western blot tests using specific antibodies. In order to functionally characterise some selected phloem proteins from B. napus, the group of potential calcium-binding polypeptides was analysed for functional Ca<sup>+2 binding properties and several Ca<sup>+2–binding proteins could be isolated. However, their sequences could as yet not be determined. Another approach used for functional protein characterisation was the analysis of Arabidopsis T-DNA insertion mutants. Four available mutants with insertions in phloem protein-specific genes were chosen from the SALK and GABI-Kat collections and selected homozygous lines were tested for the presence of the investigated proteins. In order to verify if the product of one of the mutated gene (GRP 7) is transported through the phloem, grafting experiments were performed followed by western blot analyses. Although the employed antiserum against GRP 7 protein did not allow distinguishing between the mutant and the wild type plants, successful Arabidopsis grafting could be established as a promising method for further studies on protein translocation through the phloem.
This thesis aimed to investigate several fundamental and perplexing questions relating to the phloem loading and transport mechanisms of Cucurbita maxima, by combining metabolomic analysis with cell biological techniques. This putative symplastic loading species has long been used for experiments on phloem anatomy, phloem biochemistry, phloem transport physiology and phloem signalling. Symplastic loading species have been proposed to use a polymer trapping mechanism to accumulate RFO (raffinose family oligosaccharides) sugars to build up high osmotic pressure in minor veins which sustains a concentration gradient that drives mass flow. However, extensive evidence indicating a low sugar concentration in their phloem exudates is a long-known problem that conflicts with this hypothesis. Previous metabolomic analysis shows the concentration of many small molecules in phloem exudates is higher than that of leaf tissues, which indicates an active apoplastic loading step. Therefore, in the view of the phloem metabolome, a symplastic loading mechanism cannot explain how small molecules other than RFO sugars are loaded into phloem. Most studies of phloem physiology using cucurbits have neglected the possible functions of vascular architecture in phloem transport. It is well known that there are two phloem systems in cucurbits with distinctly different anatomical features: central phloem and extrafascicular phloem. However, mistaken conclusions on sources of cucurbit phloem exudation from previous reports have hindered consideration of the idea that there may be important differences between these two phloem systems. The major results are summarized as below: 1) O-linked glycans in C.maxima were structurally identified as beta-1,3 linked glucose polymers, and the composition of glycans in cucurbits was found to be species-specific. Inter-species grafting experiments proved that these glycans are phloem mobile and transported uni-directionally from scion to stock. 2) As indicated by stable isotopic labelling experiments, a considerable amount of carbon is incorporated into small metabolites in phloem exudates. However, the incorporation of carbon into RFO sugars is much faster than for other metabolites. 3) Both CO2 labelling experiments and comparative metabolomic analysis of phloem exudates and leaf tissues indicated that metabolic processes other than RFO sugar metabolism play an important role in cucurbit phloem physiology. 4) The underlying assumption that the central phloem of cucurbits continuously releases exudates after physical incision was proved wrong by rigorous experiments including direct observation by normal microscopy and combined multiple-microscopic methods. Errors in previous experimental confirmation of phloem exudation in cucurbits are critically discussed. 5) Extrafascicular phloem was proved to be functional, as indicated by phloem-mobile carboxyfluorescein tracer studies. Commissural sieve tubes interconnect phloem bundles into a complete super-symplastic network. 6) Extrafascicular phloem represents the main source of exudates following physical incision. The major transported metabolites by these extrafacicular phloem are non-sugar compounds including amino acids, O-glycans, amines. 7) Central phloem contains almost exclusively RFO sugars, the estimated amount of which is up to 1 to 2 molar. The major RFO sugar present in central phloem is stachyose. 8) Cucurbits utilize two structurally different phloem systems for transporting different group of metabolites (RFO sugars and non-RFO sugar compounds). This implies that cucurbits may use spatially separated loading mechanisms (apoplastic loading for extrafascicular phloem and symplastic loading for central phloem) for supply of nutrients to sinks. 9) Along the transport systems, RFO sugars were mainly distributed within central phloem tissues. There were only small amounts of RFO sugars present in xylem tissues (millimolar range) and trace amounts of RFO sugars in cortex and pith. The composition of small molecules in external central phloem is very different from that in internal central phloem. 10) Aggregated P-proteins were manually dissected from central phloem and analysed by both SDS-PAGE and mass spectrometry. Partial sequences of peptides were obtained by QTOF de novo sequencing from trypsin digests of three SDS-PAGE bands. None of these partial sequences shows significant homology to known cucurbit phloem proteins or other plant proteins. This proves that these central phloem proteins are a completely new group of proteins different from those in extrafascicular phloem. The extensively analysed P-proteins reported in literature to date are therefore now shown to arise from extrafascicular phloem and not central phloem, and therefore do not appear to be involved in the occlusion processes in central phloem.
Post-translational redox-regulation is a well-known mechanism to regulate enzymes of the Calvin cycle, oxidative pentose phosphate cycle, NADPH export and ATP synthesis in response to light. The aim of the present thesis was to investigate whether a similar mechanism is also regulating carbon storage in leaves. Previous studies have shown that the key-regulatory enzyme of starch synthesis, ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) is inactivated by formation of an intermolecular disulfide bridge between the two catalytic subunits (AGPB) of the heterotetrameric holoenzyme in potato tubers, but the relevance of this mechanism to regulate starch synthesis in leaves was not investigated. The work presented in this thesis shows that AGPase is subject to post-translational redox-regulation in leaves of pea, potato and Arabidopsis in response to day night changes. Light was shown to trigger posttranslational redox-regulation of AGPase. AGPB was rapidly converted from a dimer to a monomer when isolated pea chloroplasts were illuminated and from a monomer to a dimer when preilluminated leaves were darkened. Conversion of AGPB from dimer to monomer was accompanied by an increase in activity due to changes in the kinetik properties of the enzyme. Studies with pea chloroplast extracts showed that AGPase redox-activation is mediated by thioredoxins f and m from spinach in-vitro. In a further set of experiments it was shown that sugars provide a second input leading to AGPase redox activation and increased starch synthesis and that they can act as a signal which is independent from light. External feeding of sugars such as sucrose or trehalose to Arabidopsis leaves in the dark led to conversion of AGPB from dimer to monomer and to an increase in the rate of starch synthesis, while there were no significant changes in the level of 3PGA, an allosteric activator of the enyzme, and in the NADPH/NADP+ ratio. Experiments with transgenic Arabidopsis plants with altered levels of trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P), the precursor of trehalose synthesis, provided genetic evidence that T6P rather than trehalose is leading to AGPase redox-activation. Compared to Wt, leaves expressing E.coli trehalose-phosphate synthase (TPS) in the cytosol showed increased activation of AGPase and higher starch level during the day, while trehalose-phosphate phosphatase (TPP) overexpressing leaves showed the opposite. These changes occurred independently of changes in sugar and sugar-phosphate levels and NADPH/NADP+ ratio. External supply of sucrose to Wt and TPS-overexpressing leaves led to monomerisation of AGPB, while this response was attenuated in TPP expressing leaves, indicating that T6P is involved in the sucrose-dependent redox-activation of AGPase. To provide biochemical evidence that T6P promotes redox-activation of AGPase independently of cytosolic elements, T6P was fed to intact isolated chloroplasts for 15 min. incubation with concentrations down to 100 µM of T6P, but not with sucrose 6-phosphate, sucrose, trehalose or Pi as controls, significantly and specifically increased AGPB monomerisation and AGPase activity within 15 minutes, implying T6P as a signal reporting the cytosolic sugar status to the chloroplast. The response to T6P did not involve changes in the NADPH/NADP+ ratio consistent with T6P modulating redox-transfer to AGPase independently of changes in plastidial redox-state. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) is known as key-regulatory enzyme of fatty acid and lipid synthesis in plants. At the start of the present thesis there was mainly in vitro evidence in the literature showing redox-regulation of ACCase by DTT, and thioredoxins f and m. In the present thesis the in-vivo relevance of this mechanism to regulate lipid synthesis in leaves was investigated. ACCase activity measurement in leaf tissue collected at the end of the day and night in Arabidopsis leaves revealed a 3-fold higher activation state of the enzyme in the light than in the dark. Redox-activation was accompanied by change in kinetic properties of ACCase, leading to an increase affinity to its substrate acetyl-CoA . In further experiments, DTT as well as sucrose were fed to leaves, and both treatments led to a stimulation in the rate of lipid synthesis accompanied by redox-activation of ACCase and decrease in acetyl-CoA content. In a final approach, comparison of metabolic and transcript profiling after DTT feeding and after sucrose feeding to leaves provided evidence that redox-modification is an important regulatory mechanism in central metabolic pathways such as TCA cycle and amino acid synthesis, which acts independently of transcript levels.
Arabidopsis thaliana trichomes exhibit strong birefringence under polarized light, a characteristic of cell walls containing large amounts of highly ordered cellulose microfibrils. The tbr1 mutant of Arabidopsis lacks trichome birefringence and is deficient in secondary cell wall cellulose synthesis (Potikha and Delmer, 1995). The TBR gene was identified by recombinational mapping, candidate gene sequencing and molecular complementation using genomic cosmid clones, as well as a p35S:TBR genomic DNA construct, fully rescuing the mutant phenotype in both cases. The only mutant allele available (tbr-1) carries a substitution (G to E) in a conserved aminoacid domain of the protein. TBR gene structure was proved to have a longer size than the one found to be annotated at the time of identification in the data-base. A full cDNA clone containing the full transcript was available and also complementation experiments using different gene fragments (annotated and suggested) leaded to the result that TBR gene is indeed, longer. TBR encodes a novel plant-specific protein with predicted plasma membrane localization, therefore being consistent with idea that is required for-, or is a novel component of a functional cellulose synthase complex. TBR is part of an Arabidopsis gene/protein family, (TBL-trichome birefringence like) which, depending on homology, comprises up to 20 members, none of which has a biological or biochemical function attributed. T-DNA insertion lines in TBR gene and two close homologues have been screened by PCR, but no homozygous were found and no trichomes phenotype was identified. Promoter-GUS lines were produced for TBR, as well as for its two closest homologues (one being a segmentally duplicated gene on chromosome III), using 1.6-2 kb of promoter sequence upstream of the annotated start codons. The TBR promoter was the only one of the three that yielded trichome expression, this probably explaining the phenotype of the TBR mutant. Moreover, TBR is expressed in leaves, in growing lateral roots, and in vascular tissues of young Arabidopsis seedlings and plantlets. Later on, the expression appears in inflorescens, stems, flowers and green siliques. This expression pattern is largely overlapping with those of the two analyzed homologues and it corresponds with data of RT-PCR expression profiling performed for TBR and the two analyzed homologues in different tissues, at different developmental stages. Biochemical analysis of cell wall (leaves and trichomes), as GC and MALDI-TOF, were performed, but revealed no major differences between tbr1 and wild type plants. Scanning electron microscopy analysis and cell wall polysaccharides antibody labeling showed a clear difference in the trichomes cell wall structure between mutant plant and wild type.
Nitrogen is often a limiting factor for plant growth due to its heterogenous distribution in the soil and to seasonal and diurnal changes in growth rates. In most soils, NH4+ and NO3 – are the predominant sources of inorganic nitrogen that are available for plant nutrition. In this context, plants have evolved mechanisms that enable them to optimize nitrogen acquisition, which include transporters specialized in the uptake of nitrogen and susceptible to a regulation that responds to nitrogen limiting or excess conditions. Although the average NH4+ concentrations of soils are generally 100 to 1000 times lower than those of NO3 – (Marschner, 1995), most plants preferentially take up NH4+ when both forms are present because unlike NO3– , NH4+ has not to be reduced prior to assimilation and thus requires less energy for assimilation (Bloom et al., 1992). Apart from high uptake rates in roots, high intracellular ammonium concentrations also result from quantitatively important internal breakdown of amino acids (Feng et al., 1998), and originates in high quantities during photorespiration (Mattson et al., 1997, Pearson et al., 1998). Thus, NH4+ is a key component of nitrogen metabolism for all plants and can accumulate to varying concentrations in all compartments of the cell, including the cytosol, the vacuole and in the apoplast (Wells and Miller, 2000; Nielsen and Schjoerring, 1998). Two related families of ammonium transporters (AMT1 and AMT2), containing six genes which encode transporter proteins that are specific for ammonium had been identified prior to this thesis and some genes had partially been characterised in Arabidopsis (Gazzarrini et al., 1999; Sohlenkamp et al. 2002; Kaiser et al., 2002). However, these studies were not sufficient to assign physiological functions to the individual transporters and AMT1.4 and AMT1.5 had not been studied prior to this thesis. Given this background, it was considered desirable to acquire a deeper knowledge of the physiological functions of the six Arabidopsis ammonium transporters. To this end, tissue specific expression profiles of the individual wildtype AtAMT genes were performed by quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR) and promoter-GUS expression. Modern approaches such as the use of T-DNA insertional mutants and RNAi hairpin constructs were employed to reduce the expression levels of AMT genes. Transcript levels were determined, and physiological, biochemical and developmental analysis such as growth tests on different media and 14C-MA and NH4+ uptake studies with the isolated insertional mutants and RNAi lines were performed to deepen the knowledge of the individual functions of the six AMTs in Arabidopsis. In addition, double mutants of the insertional mutants were created to investigate the extent in which homologous genes could compensate for lost transporter functions. The results described in this thesis show that the six AtAMT genes display a high degree of specifity in their tissue specific expression and are likely to play complementary roles in ammonium uptake into roots, in shoots, and in flowers. AtAMT1.1 is likely to be a ‘work horse’ for cellular ammonium transport and reassimilation. A major role is probably the recapture of photorespiratory NH3/NH4+ escaping from the cytosol. In roots, it is likely to transport NH4+ from the apoplast into cortical cells. AtAMT1.3 and AtAMT1.5 appear to be specialised in the acquisition of external NH4+ from the soil. Furthermore, AtAMT1.5 plays an additional role in the reassimilation of NH3/NH4+ released during the breakdown of storage proteins in the cotyledons of germinating seedlings. It was difficult to distinguish a specialisation between the transporters AtAMt1.2 and AtAMt1.1, however the root and flower specific expression patterns are different and indicate alternative functions of both. AtAMT1.4 has a very distinct expression which is restricted to the vascular bundels of leaves and to pollen only, where it is likely to be involved in the loading of NH4+ into the cells.The AtAMT2.1 expression pattern is confined to vascular bundels and meristematic active tissues in leaves where ammonium concentrations can reach very high levels. Additionally, the Vmax of AtAMT2 increases with increasing external pH, contrasting to AtAMT1.1. Thus, AtAMT2.1 it might be specialised in ammonium transport in ammonium rich environments, where the functions of other transporters are limited, enabling cells to take up NH4+ over a wide range of concentrations. The root hair expression ascribes an additional role in NH3/NH4+ acquisition where it possibly serves as a transporter that is able to acquire ammonium from basic soils where other transporters become less effective.RNAi lines showing a reduction in AtAMT gene mRNA levels and NH4+ transport kinetics, grew slower and flowering time was delayed. This indicates that NH4+ is a crucial and limiting factor for plant growth.
The external dispersal ("epizoochory") of vascular plant diaspores (seeds and fruits) by roe deer and wild boar, i.e. the most common wild large mammals with a large home range in central Europe, was investigated in a 6.5-km² forest area in NE Germany dominated by mesic deciduous forests. The study involved brushing out the diaspores from the coats and hooves of 25 shot roe deer and nine wild boar. The results were compared with the forest vegetation of the study area. Whilst wild boar transported large amounts of various diaspores in the coat, the significance of roe deer for epizoochory was low due to their sleek fur and different behaviour compared to wild boar. Altogether, 55 vascular plant species were transported externally. Since only a limited number of seeds came from woodland habitats, the open landscape was at least as important as a source of attached seeds as the forest vegetation. Thus, most plant species occurring in the studied forest area, especially characteristic woodland herbs, showed no adaptations to epizoochorous dispersal, although being very abundant in the herb layer. We conclude that hoofed game play a particular role concerning the dispersal of ruderal and grassland species in the agricultural landscape of central Europe. However, the actual spread of some herb species in forests of northern Germany, e.g. Agrostis capillaris, Brachypodium sylvaticum, Deschampsia flexuosa, Galium aparine and Urtica dioica, may be mainly facilitated by wild ungulates. Though dispersal by large mammals is an important mechanism for long-distance dispersal of plants in general, our results suggest that most of the characteristic herb species of mesic deciduous forests have only low epizoochorous dispersal potentials. The implications for nature conservation and silviculture are discussed.
A seed sowing experiment was conducted in a mixed secondary woodland on acidic soils in NE Germany with Melampyrum pratense, an annual ant-dispersed forest herb which lacks a natural population in the study area, but is abundant in similar habitats. Each set of 300 seeds was sown within one square metre at three sites in 1997, and the development of the populations was recorded from 1998 onward. Additionally, seed fall patterns were studied in a natural population by means of adhesive cardboard. All trials resulted in the recruitment of populations, which survived and increased in both individual number and area, up to the year 2001. Thus, local distribution of Melampyrum pratense is dispersallimited. Total individual number increased from 105 to 3,390, and total population area from 2.07 to 109.04 m². Migration occurred in all directions. Mean migration rate was 0.91 m per year, and the highest migration rate was 6.48 m. No individual was recorded beyond 7.63 m from the centres of the sawn squares after three years, suggesting exclusive short-distance dispersal. As primary dispersal enables only distances of up to 0.25 m, ants are presumed to be the main dispersal vectors. Despite differences in individual number and colonization patterns, migration rates did not differ significantly between the populations, but were significantly higher in 2001 due to an increased population size. Colonization patterns were characterized by a rapid, negative exponential decrease of population density with increasing distance from the sown plot, suggesting a colonization by establishment of more or less isolated outposts of individuals and a subsequent gradual infill of the gaps between. My results resemble myrmecochorous dispersal distances in temperate woodlands, and migration rates and patterns across ecotones from ancient to recent deciduous forests. They may function as a colonization model of Melampyrum pratense after accidental long-distance dispersal.
Structure and reactivity of a biological soil crust from a xeric sandy soil in Central Europe
(2004)
The investigation was designed to explore the structure, composition and activity of a biological soil crust on an acidic, sandy soil from a temperate climate. The crust covers several hundreds of square meters on the hilltop of a large terminal moraine. The conjugate alga Zygogonium ericetorum forms the essential matrix for the crust, a dense web of algal filaments with interspersed lichens and mosses. The crust is composed of three layers, with an uppermost layer consisting nearly entirely of a dense algal mat. In lower layers, a parasitic fungus, penetrating the algal cells, is another important component of the crust community. In this soil crust, photosynthetic and respiratory activity is stabilized at low water activities.
Natural and human induced environmental changes affect populations at different time scales. If they occur in a spatial heterogeneous way, they cause spatial variation in abundance. In this thesis I addressed three topics, all related to the question, how environmental changes influence population dynamics. In the first part, I analysed the effect of positive temporal autocorrelation in environmental noise on the extinction risk of a population, using a simple population model. The effect of autocorrelation depended on the magnitude of the effect of single catastrophic events of bad environmental conditions on a population. If a population was threatened by extinction only, when bad conditions occurred repeatedly, positive autocorrelation increased extinction risk. If a population could become extinct, even if bad conditions occurred only once, positive autocorrelation decreased extinction risk. These opposing effects could be explained by two features of an autocorrelated time series. On the one hand, positive autocorrelation increased the probability of series of bad environmental conditions, implying a negative effect on populations. On the other hand, aggregation of bad years also implied longer periods with relatively good conditions. Therefore, for a given time period, the overall probability of occurrence of at least one extremely bad year was reduced in autocorrelated noise. This can imply a positive effect on populations. The results could solve a contradiction in the literature, where opposing effects of autocorrelated noise were found in very similar population models. In the second part, I compared two approaches, which are commonly used for predicting effects of climate change on future abundance and distribution of species: a "space for time approach", where predictions are based on the geographic pattern of current abundance in relation to climate, and a "population modelling approach" which is based on correlations between demographic parameters and the inter-annual variation of climate. In this case study, I compared the two approaches for predicting the effect of a shift in mean precipitation on a population of the sociable weaver Philetairus socius, a common colonially living passerine bird of semiarid savannahs of southern Africa. In the space for time approach, I compared abundance and population structure of the sociable weaver in two areas with highly different mean annual precipitation. The analysis showed no difference between the two populations. This result, as well as the wide distribution range of the species, would lead to the prediction of no sensitive response of the species to a slight shift in mean precipitation. In contrast, the population modelling approach, based on a correlation between reproductive success and rainfall, predicted a sensitive response in most model types. The inconsistency of predictions was confirmed in a cross-validation between the two approaches. I concluded that the inconsistency was caused, because the two approaches reflect different time scales. On a short time scale, the population may respond sensitively to rainfall. However, on a long time scale, or in a regional comparison, the response may be compensated or buffered by a variety of mechanisms. These may include behavioural or life history adaptations, shifts in the interactions with other species, or differences in the physical environment. The study implies that understanding, how such mechanisms work, and at what time scale they would follow climate change, is a crucial precondition for predicting ecological consequences of climate change. In the third part of the thesis, I tested why colony sizes of the sociable weaver are highly variable. The high variation of colony sizes is surprising, as in studies on coloniality it is often assumed that an optimal colony size exists, in which individual bird fitness is maximized. Following this assumption, the pattern of bird dispersal should keep colony sizes near an optimum. However, I showed by analysing data on reproductive success and survival that for the sociable weaver fitness in relation to colony size did not follow an optimum curve. Instead, positive and negative effects of living in large colonies overlaid each other in a way that fitness was generally close to one, and density dependence was low. I showed in a population model, which included an evolutionary optimisation process of dispersal that this specific shape of the fitness function could lead to a dispersal strategy, where the variation of colony sizes was maintained.
Nitrogen is an essential macronutrient for plants and nitrogen fertilizers are indispensable for modern agriculture. Unfortunately, we know too little about how plants regulate their use of soil nitrogen, to maximize fertilizers-N use by crops and pastures. This project took a dual approach, involving forward and reverse genetics, to identify N-regulators in plants, which may prove useful in the future to improve nitrogen-use efficiency in agriculture. To identify nitrogen-regulated transcription factor genes in Arabidopsis that may control N-use efficiency we developed a unique resource for qRT-PCR measurements on all Arabidpsis transcription factor genes. Using closely spaced, gene-specific primer pairs and SYBR® Green to monitor amplification of double-stranded DNA, transcript levels of 83% of all target genes could be measured in roots or shoots of young Arabidopsis wild-type plants. Only 4% of reactions produced non-specific PCR products, and 13% of TF transcripts were undetectable in these organs. Measurements of transcript abundance were quantitative over six orders of magnitude, with a detection limit equivalent to one transcript molecule in 1000 cells. Transcript levels for different TF genes ranged between 0.001-100 copies per cell. Real-time RT-PCR revealed 26 root-specific and 39 shoot-specific TF genes, most of which have not been identified as organ-specific previously. An enlarged and improved version of the TF qRT-PCR platform contains now primer pairs for 2256 Arabidopsis TF genes, representing 53 gene families and sub-families arrayed on six 384-well plates. Set-up of real-time PCR reactions is now fully robotized. One researcher is able to measure expression of all 2256 TF genes in a single biological sample in a just one working day. The Arabidopsis qRT-PCT platform was successfully used to identify 37 TF genes which transcriptionaly responded at the transcriptional level to N-deprivation or to nitrate per se. Most of these genes have not been characterized previously. Further selection of TF genes based on the responses of selected candidates to other macronutrients and abiotic stresses allowed to distinguish between TFs regulated (i) specifically by nitrogen (29 genes) (ii) regulated by general macronutrient or by salt and osmotic stress (6 genes), and (iii) responding to all major macronutrients and to abiotic stresses. Most of the N-regulated TF genes were also regulated by carbon. Further characterization of sixteen selected TF genes, revealed: (i) lack of transcriptional response to organic nitrogen, (ii) two major types of kinetics of induction by nitrate, (iii) specific responses for the majority of the genes to nitrate but not downstream products of nitrate assimilation. All sixteen TF genes were cloned into binary vectors for constitutive and ethanol inducible over expression, and the first generation of transgenic plants were obtained for almost all of them. Some of the plants constitutively over expressing TF genes under control of the 35S promoter revealed visible phenotypes in T1 generation. Homozygous T-DNA knock out lines were also obtained for many of the candidate TF genes. So far, one knock out line revealed a visible phenotype: retardation of flowering time. A forward genetic approach using an Arabidopsis ATNRT2.1 promoter : Luciferase reporter line, resulted in identification of eleven EMS mutant reporter lines affected in induction of ATNRT2.1 expression by nitrate. These lines could by divided in the following classes according to expression of other genes involved in primary nitrogen and carbon metabolism: (i) lines affected exclusively in nitrate transport, (ii) those affected in nitrate transport, acquisition, but also in glycolysis and oxidative pentose pathway, (iii) mutants affected moderately in nitrate transport, oxidative pentose pathway and glycolysis but not in primary nitrate assimilation. Thus, several different N-regulatory genes may have been mutated in this set of mutants. Map-based cloning has begun to identify the genes affected in these mutants.
The multidrug and toxic compounds extrusion (MATE) family includes hundreds of functionally uncharacterised proteins from bacteria and all eukaryotic kingdoms except the animal kingdom, that function as drug/toxin::Na<sup>+ or H<sup>+ antiporters. In Arabidopsis thaliana the MATE family comprises 56 members, one of which is NIC2 (Novel Ion Carrier 2). Using heterologous expression systems including Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and the homologous expression system of Arabidopsis thaliana, the functional characterisation of NIC2 was performed. It has been demonstrated that NIC2 confers resistance of E. coli towards the chemically diverse compounds such as tetraethylammonium chloride (TEACl), tetramethylammonium chloride (TMACl) and a toxic analogue of indole-3-acetic acid, 5-fluoro-indole-acetic acid (F-IAA). Therefore, NIC2 may be able to transport a broad range of drug and toxic compounds. In wild-type yeast the expression of NIC2 increased the tolerance towards lithium and sodium, but not towards potassium and calcium. In A. thaliana, the overexpression of NIC2 led to strong phenotypic changes. Under normal growth condtions overexpression caused an extremely bushy phenotype with no apical dominance but an enhanced number of lateral flowering shoots. The amount of rossette leaves and flowers with accompanying siliques were also much higher than in wild-type plants and the senescence occurred earlier in the transgenic plants. In contrast, RNA interference (RNAi) used to silence NIC2 expression, induced early flower stalk development and flowering compared with wild-type plants. In additon, the main flower stalks were not able to grow vertically, but instead had a strong tendency to bend towards the ground. While NIC2 RNAi seedlings produced many lateral roots outgrowing from the primary root and the root-shoot junction, NIC2 overexpression seedlings displayed longer primary roots that were characterised by a 2 to 4 h delay in the gravitropic response. In addition, these lines exhibited an enhanced resistance to exogenously applied auxins, i.e. indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) when compared with the wild-type roots. Based on these results, it is suggested that the NIC2 overexpression and NIC2 RNAi phenotypes were due to decreased or increased levels of auxin, respectively. The ProNIC2:GUS fusion gene revealed that NIC2 is expressed in the stele of the elongation zone, in the lateral root cap, in new lateral root primordia, and in pericycle cells of the root system. In the vascular tissue of rosette leaves and inflorescence stems, the expression was observed in the xylem parenchyma cells, while in siliques it was also in vascular tissue, but as well in the dehiscence and abscission zones. The organ- and tissue-specific expression sites of NIC2 correlate with the sites of auxin action in mature Arabidopsis plants. Further experiments using ProNIC2:GUS indicated that NIC2 is an auxin-inducible gene. Additionally, during the gravitropic response when an endogenous auxin gradient across the root tip forms, the GUS activity pattern of the ProNIC2:GUS fusion gene markedly changed at the upper side of the root tip, while at the lower side stayed unchanged. Finally, at the subcellular level NIC2-GFP fusion protein localised in the peroxisomes of Nicotana tabacum BY2 protoplasts. Considering the experimental results, it is proposed that the hypothetical function of NIC2 is the efflux transport which takes part in the auxin homeostasis in plant tissues probably by removing auxin conjugates from the cytoplasm into peroxisomes.
The protection of species is one major focus in conservation biology. The basis for any management concept is the knowledge of the species autecology. In my thesis, I studied the life-history traits and population dynamics of the endangered Lesser Spotted Woodpecker (Picoides minor) in Central Europe. Here, I combine a range of approaches, from empirical investigations of a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker population in the Taunus low mountain range in Germany, the analysis of empirical data and the development of an individual-based stochastic model simulating the population dynamics. In the field studies I collected basic demographic data of reproductive success and mortality. Moreover, breeding biology and behaviour were investigated in detail. My results showed a significant decrease of the reproductive success with later timing of breeding, caused by deterioration in food supply. Moreover, mate fidelity was of benefit, since pairs composed of individuals that bred together the previous year started earlier with egg laying and obtained a higher reproductive success. Both sexes were involved in parental care, but the care was only shared equally during incubation and the early nestling stage. In the late nestling stage, parental care strategies differed between sexes: Females considerably decreased feeding rate with number of nestlings and even completely deserted small broods. Males fed their nestlings irrespective of brood size and compensated for the females absence. The organisation of parental care in the Lesser Spotted Woodpecker is discussed to provide the possibility for females to mate with two males with separate nests and indeed, polyandry was confirmed. To investigate the influence of the observed flexibility in the social mating system on the population persistence, a stochastic individual-based model simulating the population dynamics of the Lesser Spotted Woodpecker was developed, based on empirical results. However, pre-breeding survival rates could not be obtained empirically and I present in this thesis a pattern-oriented modelling approach to estimate pre-breeding survival rates by comparing simulation results with empirical pattern of population structure and reproductive success on population level. Here, I estimated the pre-breeding survival for two Lesser Spotted Woodpecker populations on different latitudes to test the reliability of the results. Finally, I used the same simulation model to investigate the effect of flexibility in the mating system on the persistence of the population. With increasing rate of polyandry in the population, the persistence increased and even low rates of polyandry had a strong influence. Even when presuming only a low polyandry rate and costs of polyandry in terms of higher mortality and lower reproductive success for the secondary male, the positive effect of polyandry on the persistence of the population was still strong. This thesis greatly helped to increase the knowledge of the autecology of an endangered woodpecker species. Beyond the relevance for the species, I could demonstrate here that in general flexibility in mating systems are buffer mechanisms and reduce the impact of environmental and demographic noise.
During this PhD project three technical platforms were either improved or newly established in order to identify interesting genes involved in SNF, validate their expression and functionally characterise them. An existing 5.6K cDNA array (Colebatch et al., 2004) was extended to produce the 9.6K LjNEST array, while a second array, the 11.6K LjKDRI array, was also produced. Furthermore, the protocol for array hybridisation was substantially improved (Ott et al., in press). After functional classification of all clones according to the MIPS database and annotation of their corresponding tentative consensus sequence (TIGR) these cDNA arrays were used by several international collaborators and by our group (Krusell et al., 2005; in press). To confirm results obtained from the cDNA array analysis different sets of cDNA pools were generated that facilitate rapid qRT-PCR analysis of candidate gene expression. As stable transformation of Lotus japonicus takes several months, an Agrobacterium rhizogenes transformation system was established in the lab and growth conditions for screening transformants for symbiotic phenotypes were improved. These platforms enable us to identify genes, validate their expression and functionally characterise them in the minimum of time. The resources that I helped to establish, were used in collaboration with other people to characterise several genes like the potassium transporter LjKup and the sulphate transporter LjSst1, that were transcriptionally induced in nodules compared to uninfected roots, in more detail (Desbrosses et al., 2004; Krusell et al., 2005). Another gene that was studied in detail was LjAox1. This gene was identified during cDNA array experiments and detailed expression analysis revealed a strong and early induction of the gene during nodulation with high expression in young nodules which declines with the age of the nodule. Therefore, LjAox1 is an early nodulin. Promoter:gus fusions revealed an LjAox1 expression around the nodule endodermis. The physiological role of LjAox1 is currently being persued via RNAi. Using RNA interference, the synthesis of all symbiotic leghemoglobins was silenced simultaneously in Lotus japonicus. As a result, growth of LbRNAi lines was severely inhibited compared to wild-type plants when plants were grown under symbiotic conditions in the absence of mineral nitrogen. The nodules of these plants were arrested in growth 14 post inoculation and lacked the characteristic pinkish colour. Growing these transgenic plants in conditions where reduced nitrogen is available for the plant led to normal plant growth and development. This demonstrates that leghemoglobins are not required for plant development per se, and proves for the first time that leghemoglobins are indispensable for symbiotic nitrogen fixation. Absence of leghemoglobins in LbRNAi nodules led to significant increases in free-oxygen concentrations throughout the nodules, a decrease in energy status as reflected by the ATP/ADP ratio, and an absence of the bacterial nitrogenase protein. The bacterial population within nodules of LbRNAi plants was slightly reduced. Alterations of plant nitrogen and carbon metabolism in LbRNAi nodules was reflected in changes in amino acid composition and starch deposition (Ott et al., 2005). These data provide strong evidence that nodule leghemoglobins function as oxygen transporters that facilitate high flux rates of oxygen to the sites of respiration at low free oxygen concentrations within the infected cells.
Vitamin E : elucidation of the mechanism of side chain degradation and gene regulatory functions
(2005)
For more than 80 years vitamin E has been in the focus of scientific research. Most of the progress concerning non-antioxidant functions, nevertheless, has only arisen from publications during the last decade. Most recently, the metabolic pathway of vitamin E has been almost completely elucidated. Vitamin E is metabolized by truncation of its side chain. The initial step of an omega-hydroxylation is carried out by cytochromes P450 (CYPs). This was evidenced by the inhibition of the metabolism of alpha-tocopherol by ketoconozole, an inhibitor of CYP3A expression, whereas rifampicin, an inducer of CYP3A expression increased the metabolism of alpha-tocopherol. Although the degradation pathway is identical for all tocopherols and tocotrienols, there is a marked difference in the amount of the release of metabolites from the individual vitamin E forms in cell culture as well as in experimental animals and in humans. Recent findings not only proposed an CYP3A4-mediated degradation of vitamin E but also suggested an induction of the metabolizing enzymes by vitamin E itself. In order to investigate how vitamin E is able to influence the expression of metabolizing enzymes like CYP3A4, a pregnane X receptor (PXR)-based reporter gene assay was chosen. PXR is a nuclear receptor which regulates the transcription of genes, e.g., CYP3A4, by binding to specific DNA response elements. And indeed, as shown here, vitamin E is able to influence the expression of CYP3A via PXR in an in vitro reporter gene assay. Tocotrienols showed the highest activity followed by delta- and alpha-tocopherol. An up-regulation of Cyp3a11 mRNA, the murine homolog of the human CYP3A4, could also be confirmed in an animal experiment. The PXR-mediated change in gene expression displayed the first evidence of a direct transcriptional activity of vitamin E. PXR regulates the expression of genes involved in xenobiotic detoxification, including oxidation, conjugation, and transport. CYP3A, e.g., is involved in the oxidative metabolism of numerous currently used drugs. This opens a discussion of possible side effects of vitamin E, but the extent to which supranutritional doses of vitamin E modulate these pathways in humans has yet to be determined. Additionally, as there is arising evidence that vitamin E's essentiality is more likely to be based on gene regulation than on antioxidant functions, it appeared necessary to further investigate the ability of vitamin E to influence gene expression. Mice were divided in three groups with diets (i) deficient in alpha-tocopherol, (ii) adequate in alpha-tocopherol supply and (iii) with a supranutritional dosage of alpha-tocopherol. After three months, half of each group was supplemented via a gastric tube with a supranutritional dosage of gamma-tocotrienol per day for 7 days. Livers were analyzed for vitamin E content and liver RNA was prepared for hybridization using cDNA array and oligonucleotide array technology. A significant change in gene expression was observed by alpha-tocopherol but not by gamma-tocotrienol and only using the oligonucleotide array but not using the cDNA array. The latter effect is most probably due to the limited number of genes represented on a cDNA array, the lacking gamma-tocotrienol effect is obviously caused by a rapid degradation, which might prevent bioefficacy of gamma-tocotrienol. Alpha-tocopherol changed the expression of various genes. The most striking observation was an up-regulation of genes, which code for proteins involved in synaptic transmitter release and calcium signal transduction. Synapsin, synaptotagmin, synaptophysin, synaptobrevin, RAB3A, complexin 1, Snap25, ionotropic glutamate receptors (alpha 2 and zeta 1) were shown to be up-regulated in the supranutritional group compared to the deficient group. The up-regulation of synaptic genes shown in this work are not only supported by the strong concentration of genes which all are involved in the process of vesicular transport of neurotransmitters, but were also confirmed by a recent publication. However, a confirmation by real time PCR in neuronal tissue like brain is now required to explain the effect of vitamin E on neurological functionality. The change in expression of genes coding for synaptic proteins by vitamin E is of principal interest thus far, since the only human disease directly originating from an inadequate vitamin E status is ataxia with isolated vitamin E deficiency. Therefore, with the results of this work, an explanation for the observed neurological symptoms associated with vitamin E deficiency can be presented for the first time.
Even though the structure of the plant cell wall is by and large quite well characterized, its synthesis and regulation remains largely obscure. However, it is accepted that the building blocks of the polysaccharidic part of the plant cell wall are nucleotide sugars. Thus to gain more insight into the cell wall biosynthesis, in the first part of this thesis, plant genes possibly involved in the nucleotide sugar interconversion pathway were identified using a bioinformatics approach and characterized in plants, mainly in Arabidopsis. For the computational identification profile hidden markov models were extracted from the Pfam and TIGR databases. Mainly with these, plant genes were identified facilitating the “hmmer” program. Several gene families were identified and three were further characterized, the UDP-rhamnose synthase (RHM), UDP-glucuronic acid epimerase (GAE) and the myo-inositol oxygenase (MIOX) families. For the three-membered RHM family relative ubiquitous expression was shown using variuos methods. For one of these genes, RHM2, T-DNA lines could be obtained. Moreover, the transcription of the whole family was downregulated facilitating an RNAi approach. In both cases a alteration of cell wall typic polysaccharides and developmental changes could be shown. In the case of the rhm2 mutant these were restricted to the seed or the seed mucilage, whereas the RNAi plants showed profound changes in the whole plant. In the case of the six-membered GAE family, the gene expressed to the highest level (GAE6) was cloned, expressed heterologously and its function was characterized. Thus, it could be shown that GAE6 encodes for an enzyme responsible for the conversion of UDP-glucuronic acid to UDP-galacturonic acid. However, a change in transcript level of variuos GAE family members achieved by T-DNA insertions (gae2, gae5, gae6), overexpression (GAE6) or an RNAi approach, targeting the whole family, did not reveal any robust changes in the cell wall. Contrary to the other two families the MIOX gene family had to be identified using a BLAST based approach due to the lack of enough suitable candidate genes for building a hidden markov model. An initial bioinformatic characterization was performed which will lead to further insights into this pathway. In total it was possible to identify the two gene families which are involved in the synthesis of the two pectin backbone sugars galacturonic acid and rhamnose. Moreover with the identification of the MIOX genes a genefamily, important for the supply of nucleotide sugar precursors was identified. In a second part of this thesis publicly available microarray datasets were analyzed with respect to co-responsive behavior of transcripts on a global basis using nearly 10,000 genes. The data has been made available to the community in form of a database providing additional statistical and visualization tools (http://csbdb.mpimp-golm.mpg.de). Using the framework of the database to identify nucleotide sugar converting genes indicated that co-response might be used for identification of novel genes involved in cell wall synthesis based on already known genes.
The past decades are characterized by various efforts to provide complete sequence information of genomes regarding various organisms. The availability of full genome data triggered the development of multiplex high-throughput assays allowing simultaneous measurement of transcripts, proteins and metabolites. With genome information and profiling technologies now in hand a highly parallel experimental biology is offering opportunities to explore and discover novel principles governing biological systems. Understanding biological complexity through modelling cellular systems represents the driving force which today allows shifting from a component-centric focus to integrative and systems level investigations. The emerging field of systems biology integrates discovery and hypothesis-driven science to provide comprehensive knowledge via computational models of biological systems. Within the context of evolving systems biology, investigations were made in large-scale computational analyses on transcript co-response data through selected prokaryotic and plant model organisms. CSB.DB - a comprehensive systems-biology database - (http://csbdb.mpimp-golm.mpg.de/) was initiated to provide public and open access to the results of biostatistical analyses in conjunction with additional biological knowledge. The database tool CSB.DB enables potential users to infer hypothesis about functional interrelation of genes of interest and may serve as future basis for more sophisticated means of elucidating gene function. The co-response concept and the CSB.DB database tool were successfully applied to predict operons in Escherichia coli by using the chromosomal distance and transcriptional co-responses. Moreover, examples were shown which indicate that transcriptional co-response analysis allows identification of differential promoter activities under different experimental conditions. The co-response concept was successfully transferred to complex organisms with the focus on the eukaryotic plant model organism Arabidopsis thaliana. The investigations made enabled the discovery of novel genes regarding particular physiological processes and beyond, allowed annotation of gene functions which cannot be accessed by sequence homology. GMD - the Golm Metabolome Database - was initiated and implemented in CSB.DB to integrated metabolite information and metabolite profiles. This novel module will allow addressing complex biological questions towards transcriptional interrelation and extent the recent systems level quest towards phenotyping.
Environmental stresses such as drought, high salt and low temperature affect plant growth and decrease crop productivity extremely. It is important to improve stress tolerance of the crop plant to increase crop yield under stress conditions. The Arabidopsis thaliana salt tolerance 1 gene (AtSTO1) was originally identified by Lippuner et al., (1996). In this study around 27 members of STO-like proteins were identified in Arabidopsis thaliana, rice and other plant species. The STO proteins have two consensus motifs (CCADEAAL and FCV(L)EDRA). The STO family members can be regarded as a distinct class of C2C2 proteins considering their low sequence similarity to other GATA like proteins and poor conservation in the C-terminus. AtSTO1 was found to be induced by salt, cold and drought in leaves and roots of 4-week-old Arabidopsis thaliana wild-type plants. The expression of AtSTO1 under salt and cold stress was more pronounced in roots than in leaves. The data provided here revealed that the AtSTO1 protein is localized in the nucleus. The observation that AtSTO1 localizes in the nucleus is consistent with its proposed function as a transcription factor. AtSTO1-dependent phenotypes were observed when plant were grown at 50 mM NaCl on agar plates. Leaves of AtSTO1 overexpression lines were bigger with dark green coloration, whereas stunted growth and yellowish leaves were observed in wild-type and RNAi plants. Also, the AtSTO1 overexpression plants when exposed to long-term cold stress had a red leaf coloration which was much stronger than in wild-type and RNAi lines. Growth of AtSTO1 overexpression lines in long term under salt and cold stress was always associated with long roots which was more pronounced than in wild-type and RNAi lines. Proline accumulation increased more strongly in leaves and roots of AtSTO1 overexpression lines than in tissues of wild-type and RNAi lines when treated with 200 mM NaCl, exposed to cold stress or when watering was prevented for one day or two weeks. Also, soluble sugar content increased to higher levels under salt, cold and drought stress in AtSTO1 overexpression lines when compared to wild-type and RNAi lines. The increase in soluble sugar content was detected in AtSTO1 overexpression lines after long-term (2 weeks) growth of plants under these stresses. Anthocyanins accumulated in leaves of AtSTO1 overexpression lines when exposed to long term salt stress (200 mM NaCl for 2 weeks) or to 4°C for 6 and 8 weeks. Also, anthocyanin content was increased in flowers of AtSTO1 overexpression plants kept at 4°C for 8 weeks. Taken together these data indicate that overexpression of AtSTO1 enhances abiotic stress toleranc via a more pronounced accumulation of compatible solutes under stress.
