La signalisation lipidique et le métabolisme de la proline en réponse à des contraintes hydriques (rÎles des phospholipases C et D chez Arabidopsis thaliana)
Parmi les stratégies adaptatives que les plantes ont développées pour faire face aux contraintes hydriques, l accumulation de proline est une réponse physiologique fréquemment observée chez un grand nombre d espÚces. Alors que le métabolisme de ce soluté compatible a été relativement bien caractérisé, les voies de signalisation impliquées dans sa régulation restent en grande partie inconnues. Par une approche pharmacologique, nous avons mis en évidence l existence d un contrÎle positif de la biosynthÚse de la proline par les phospholipases C et la synthÚse d IP3 en réponse au NaCl et non au mannitol. D autre part, nos données montrent l importance du niveau de calcium intracellulaire et non de la signature calcique lors de la réponse prolinique. Au cours de ces derniÚres années, nous avons montré que la biosynthÚse de la proline était régulée négativement par une activité PLD en conditions de croissance favorable. à la lumiÚre de ces résultats, nous avons concentré nos efforts sur les PLD 1 et PLD 2 qui, parmi les douze isoformes de PLD végétales, sont les seules présentant une activité calcium-indépendante. Par une approche de génétique inverse, nous avons obtenu et caractérisé des mutants d insertion pour les gÚnes PLD 1 et PLD 2. Bien que les niveaux de proline chez ces mutants ne soient pas affectés, ils présentent néanmoins des phénotypes trÚs intéressants au niveau de la capacité de germination et de croissance racinaire en conditions de stress hydrique. Enfin, ce travail nous a permis de montrer que les plantes sont capables de discerner un stress salin d un stress hyperosmotique par des voies de signalisation spécifiques.PARIS-BIUSJ-ThÚses (751052125) / SudocPARIS-BIUSJ-Physique recherche (751052113) / SudocSudocFranceF

Hydrangea virescence. II. â Diagnosis by fluorescence microscopy and detection of infection in resin-embedded samples with bright field and phase contrast microscopy
We have investigated the mild virescence disease of Hydrangea macrophylla by the use of the fluorochrome bisbenzimid H, Hoechst reagent 33258. In the sieve tubes of virescent plants, brilliant white-blue fluorescence was observed under ultra-violet light. In the corresponding parts of normal plants no such fluorescence could be detected. Blue and ultra-violet light gave complementary information. Sections were observed unstained and stained with the fluorochrome for comparative studies. Abnormal sieve tubes in unstained preparations manifested diffused primary fluorescence. The fluorochrome showed bright fluorescence indicating the presence of DNA-containing structures in the diseased sieve tubes. When the sieve tubes were not fully packed with these structures, epifluorescence resolved them as isolated granules. In order to select the suitable areas in resinembedded samples, thionin-acridine orange staining was found desirable. In 1.0 ÎŒm thick sections, the infected sieve tubes and the structures contained in them were stained blue-green with thionin. Acridine orange gave better contrast between the cell-wall and inner contents.Pour la dĂ©tection des maladies Ă MLO, une mĂ©thode de microscopie photonique accessible Ă diffĂ©rents laboratoires est nĂ©cessaire. Le diagnostic de ces maladies est rendu plus prĂ©cis et plus simple grĂące Ă lâutilisation de la microscopie de fluorescence et des fluorochromes spĂ©cifiques de lâADN. Le travail mentionnĂ© ici concerne la dĂ©tection de la virescence de lâhortensia (Hydrangea macrophylla) grĂące Ă lâutilisation dâun fluorochrome : le rĂ©actif de Hoechst (bisbenzimid H rĂ©actif 33258). Une fluorescence brillante, bleu clair, est observĂ©e en lumiĂšre ultra-violette dans les tubes criblĂ©s infectĂ©s des plantes virescentes. Les zones correspondantes des plantes saines en sont dĂ©pourvues. Les observations en lumiĂšre bleue et ultraviolette se montrent complĂ©mentaires. La fluorescence secondaire, en prĂ©sence du fluorochrome, a constamment Ă©tĂ© comparĂ©e Ă la fluorescence primaire (autofluorescence) en lâabsence de tout colorant. Le fluorochrome agit spĂ©cifiquement sur les particules contenant de lâADN dans les tubes criblĂ©s infectĂ©s. La fluorescence primaire correspondante apparaĂźt moins intense. Lors de lâobservation de particules Ă lâĂ©tat isolĂ©, la fluorescence en lumiĂšre rĂ©flĂ©chie (Ă©pifluorescence) sâavĂšre supĂ©rieure Ă la fluorescence en lumiĂšre transmise. Afin de repĂ©rer les zones infectĂ©es Ă partir dâĂ©chantillons inclus dans la rĂ©sine, lâutilisation de la coloration de coupes semi-fines de 1 ÎŒm dâĂ©paisseur par la thionine et lâacridine orange se rĂ©vĂšle intĂ©ressante. La thionine colore en bleu vert les tubes criblĂ©s infectĂ©s. Des particules isolĂ©es ont pu ĂȘtre observĂ©es. Lâacridine orange, en augmentant le contraste entre les parois et le contenu des tubes criblĂ©s, contribue Ă faciliter le repĂ©rage des zones infectĂ©es
NADPH oxidase-dependent H2O2 production is required for salt-induced antioxidant defense in Arabidopsis thaliana
International audienceThe involvement of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generated by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-oxidase (NADPH oxidase) in the antioxidant defense system was assessed in salt-challenged Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings. In the wild-type, short-term salt exposure led to a transient and significant increase of H2O2 concentration, followed by a marked increase in catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.16), ascorbate peroxidase (APX, EC 1.11.1.11) and glutathione reductase (GR, EC 1.6.4.2) activities. Pre-treatment with either a chemical trap for H2O2 (dimethylthiourea) or two widely used NADPH oxidase inhibitors (imidazol and diphenylene iodonium) significantly decreased the above-mentioned enzyme activities under salinity. Double mutant atrbohd/f plants failed to induce the antioxidant response under the culture conditions. Under long-term salinity, the wild-type was more salt-tolerant than the mutant based on the plant biomass production. The better performance of the wild-type was related to a significantly higher photosynthetic activity, a more efficient K+ selective uptake, and to the plants' ability to deal with the salt-induced oxidative stress as compared to atrbohd/f. Altogether, these data suggest that the early H2O2 generation by NADPH oxidase under salt stress could be the beginning of a reaction cascade that triggers the antioxidant response in A. thaliana in order to overcome the subsequent reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, thereby mitigating the salt stress-derived injuries

How silicon alleviates the effect of abiotic stresses during seed germination: A review
International audienceRapid synchronized seed germination is desirable to ensure seedling establishment and improve crop yield. However, abiotic stresses from drought, salinity, and heavy metals have a negative impact on seed germination. The application of silicon (Si) has emerged as a promising approach for improving seed germination, especially under unfavorable conditions. However, the mechanisms of Si action have not been systematically studied in germinating seeds under conditions of abiotic stress. Considering the potential importance of sustainable agriculture, here we review recent findings of how seeds of numerous species, including several important crops, respond to Si treatment under abiotic stress. Exogenous Si has multiple effects on embryo viability, reserve mobilization, hormone/enzyme activity, membrane integrity, antioxidant metabolism, and regulation of gene expression in seed germination
