Three-day-old soybean seedlings were treated with acifluorfen via liquid culture [50 μM in dark, 1 μM in light (200 μE·m–2·s–1)]. Root elongation in the dark was inhibited only slightly (6%) after 96 h. In the light, acifluorfen inhibited root elongation after 48 h; after 96 h, inhibition was 32%. Hypocotyl length was not affected in either the light or dark. Soluble hydroxyphenolic content per axis was unaffected in the dark but was reduced by about 13 to 25% at 24 to 96 h in the light. Extractable phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL, EC 4.3.1.5) activity per axis was unaltered by herbicide in the dark. A brief transient increase in PAL activity (4 to 24 h) in axes of light-grown seedlings in the presence of acifluorfen was followed by reduced enzyme levels compared to light-grown controls at 72 and 96 h. Although light is required for maximal herbicide action, there was no effect on anthocyanin or chlorophyll accumulation or on the chlorophyll a/b ratio in hypocotyls or light-grown seedlings.

Phenylalanine Ammonia Lyase Activity

Effects of 16 herbicides representing 14 herbicide classes on growth and extractable phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL, EC 4.3.1.5) were examined in light- and dark-grown soybean [Glycine max(L.) Merr. ‘Hill’] seedlings. High purity (96 to 100%) herbicides were supplied via aqueous culture at various concentrations: 0.5 mM amitrole (3-amino-s-triazole), 0.1 mM atrazine [2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine], 0.07 mM diclofop-methyl {methyl ester of 2-[4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenoxy] propanoicacid}, 0.5 mM DSMA (disodium methanearsonate), 0.2 mM fenuron (1,1-dimethyl-3-phenylurea), 0.05 mM fluridone {1-methyl-3-phenyl-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4(1H)-pyridinone}, 0.5 mM MH (1,2-dihydro-3,6-pyridazinedione), 0.5 mM metribuzin [4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3-(methylthio)-as-triazin-5(4H)-one], 1.8 μM nitralin [4-(methylsulfonyl)-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropylaniline], 0.5 mM norflurazon [4-chloro-5-(methylamino)-2-(α,α,α-trifluoro-m-tolyl)-3(2H)-pyridazinone], 0.05 mM paraquat (1,1′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium ion), 0.15 mM perfluidone {1,1,1-trifluoro-N-[2-methyl-4-(phenylsulfonyl)phenyl] methanesulfonamide}, 0.2 mM propanil (3′,4′-dichloropropionanilide), 0.1 mM propham (isopropyl carbanilate), 0.5 mM TCA (trichloroacetic acid), and 0.05 mM 2,4-D [(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid]. Dark-grown soybean seedlings (3-day-old) were transferred to control solutions (2 mM CaSO4) or to herbicide solutions (in 2 mM CaSO4) and grown at 25 C in continuous white light (200 μE•m-2•s-1) or continuous darkness until harvested 24 or 48 h after transfer. After 48 h, growth (fresh weight, dry weight, elongation) was inhibited by most of the chemicals. Other signs of toxicity (necrosis, secondary root stunting, and root tip swelling) were noted for some treatments. Roots were most affected, although hypocotyls were generally not changed. Hypocotyl elongation was stimulated by atrazine, fluridone, and norflurazon after 48 h light. Extractable PAL activity from soybean axes was decreased by atrazine, fenuron, metribuzin, norflurazon, propanil, propham, and 2,4-D. Amitrole and paraquat were the only herbicides that increased extractable PAL activity. Other compounds tested had no effect on the enzyme. None of the herbicides significantly affected in vitro PAL activity.

AbstractSoybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars (Meli, Alisa, Sava and 1511/99) were grown up to V1 phase (first trifoliate and one node above unifoliate) and then inoculated with Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary under controlled conditions. Changes in L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity and isoflavone phytoalexins were recorded 12, 24, 48 and 72 h after the inoculation. Results showed an increase in PAL activity in all four examined soybean cultivars 48 h after the inoculation, being the highest in Alisa (2-fold higher). Different contents of total daidzein, genistein, glycitein and coumestrol were detected in all samples. Alisa and Sava increased their total isoflavone content (33.9% and 6.2% higher than control, respectively) as well as 1511/99, although 48 h after the inoculation its content decreased significantly. Meli exhibited the highest rate of coumestrol biosynthesis (72 h after the inoculation) and PAL activity (48 h after the inoculation). All investigated cultivars are invariably susceptible to this pathogen. Recorded changes could point to possible differences in mechanisms of tolerance among them.

The effects of 16 herbicides from 14 different chemical classes on levels of soluble protein, hydroxyphenolics, anthocyanin, and chlorophyll were determined in light- and dark-grown soybean [Glycine max(L.) Merr. ‘Hill’] seedlings. Growth-reducing concentrations of the herbicides were supplied to 3-day-old dark-grown soybean seedlings in liquid culture. Soluble protein (per axis) was reduced by fluridone {1-methyl-3-phenyl-5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4(1H)-pyridinone}, paraquat (1,1′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium ion), perfluidone {1,1,1-trifluoro-N-[2-methyl-4-(phenylsulfonyl)phenyl] methanesulfonamide}, and propanil (3′,4′-dichloropropionanilide) 24 or 48 h after treatment. In light-grown plants, soluble hydroxyphenolic compound levels were decreased on a per axis basis after 48 h by all chemical treatments except by atrazine [2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazine], the methyl ester of diclofop {2-[4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenoxy] propanoate}, DSMA (disodium methanearsonate), fluridone, MH (1,2-dihydro-3,6-pyridazinedione), nitralin [4-(methylsulfonyl)-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropylaniline], TCA (trichloroacetic acid), and 2,4-D [(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid]. Total chlorophyll content in hypocotyls of these seedlings was decreased by fluridone, metribuzin [4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3-(methylthio)-as-triazin-5 (4H)-one], norflurazon [4-chloro-5-(methylamino)-2-(α,α,α-trifluoro-m-tolyl)-3 (2H)-pyridazinone], paraquat, and 2,4-D, but others had no significant effect. Anthocyanin accumulation in hypocotyls of 48-h light-grown seedlings was decreased by atrazine, fenuron (1,1-dimethyl-3-phenylurea), metribuzin, norflurazon, paraquat, propanil, and propham (isopropyl carbanilate). Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity (previously reported work) was positively correlated with anthocyanin levels in tissues after treatment with these 16 herbicides, but not with glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine]. There was, however, no correlation between extractable PAL activity and chlorophyll, soluble hydroxyphenolic compounds, or soluble protein content. These results indicated that extracted PAL activities usually reflect relative in vivo activities and that PAL activity is limiting to phenylpropanoid synthesis in vivo.

Effects of DPX-4189 (2-chloro-N-(4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl)benzenesulfonamide) on anthocyanin synthesis, phenylalanine ammonia lyase activity, and ethylene production in soybean hypocotyls

The effects of the herbicide DPX-4189 (2-chloro-N-((4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl)benzenesulfonamide) on anthocyanin accumulation, phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) activity, and ethylene production in seedlings of soybean (Glycine max L.) were investigated. Application of 1 μg DPX-4189 per plant led to an increase in anthocyanin content in soybean hypocotyls. The increase in anthocyanin content became evident 4 days after application of the herbicide. Accompanying the increase in anthocyanin content was an eightfold increase in extractable PAL activity. An increase in endogenous ethylene evolution also accompanied the increase in anthocyanin content. Application of silver nitrate (an inhibitor of ethylene action) to herbicide-treated seedlings did not prevent the increase in anthocyanin content. Application of 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (an ethylene-releasing compound) to soybean seedlings stimulated PAL activity but had no effect on anthocyanin content. These results indicated that ethylene did not play a role in DPX-4189 mediated anthocyanin accumulation.

The growth regulator, glyphosine [N,N-bis(phosphonomethyl)glycine], and other possible metabolites of glyphosine and glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] [glycine, sarcosine, and aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA)] were tested individually (0.5 mM) or as a mixture (each at 0.5 mM) for their effects on growth, extractable phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity, hydroxyphenolic-compound production, chlorophyll and anthocyanin contents, and on soluble-protein levels in soybean [Glycine max(L.) Merr. ‘Hill’] seedlings. Most chemical treatments caused some inhibition of growth either on fresh weight accumulation or on root elongation in the light and dark over 72 h. Glyphosine was generally the most inhibitory and caused the greatest inhibition on axis dry-weight accumulation. Glyphosine significantly increased extractable PAL activity in axes of light- and dark-grown soybeans to a lesser extent than did glyphosate. AMPA had some inhibitory effects on extractable PAL activity whereas other compounds had little influence on the enzyme. These compounds had little effect on total soluble protein in axes or on soluble protein in PAL preparations from 12 to 72 h in light-or dark-grown seedlings. No in vitro effect of the chemicals on PAL activity was found at concentrations up to 0.5 mM. Hydroxyphenolic compound levels increased within 24 to 72 h (per gram fresh weight basis) in light- or dark-grown soybean axes treated with glyphosine, AMPA, or a metabolite mixture (AMPA, sarcosine, and glycine). Anthocyanin content was decreased by glyphosate and to a lesser extent by glyphosine, but was increased by AMPA and the mixture. Glyphosate significantly increased the chlorophylla/bratio and decreased total chlorophyll, but glyphosine decreased the chlorophyll content to a lesser degree.

Peach rootstocks Rancho Resistant (RR) and GF 677 are resistant and susceptible to nematodes, respectively. One-year-old seedlings of RR, GF677 and their reciprocal grafts were inoculated with 10,000 larvae. Both inoculated and control plants were harvested at intervals for assay. Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) activity and soluble phenol content were enhanced in both RR and GF677 after inoculation, but RR always had a 2-fold higher peroxidase (PO) activity than GF677. When GF677 was grafted on RR, the resistance of RR was not altered. When RR was grafted onto GF677, the number of galls on the plant were 66% and 77% less than on GF677 2 weeks and 2 months after inoculation, respectively. However, no interaction was found in the reciprocal graft. The results showed that higher soluble phenol content and PAL activity induced by nematode attack were common features of RR and GF677, and a positive relation between PO activity and resistance to nematode existed in the two rootstocks.

The Impact

It is known that plant protection against diseases is based mainly on the use of pesticides. These chemicals or their degradation products have a detrimental effect on the environment and human health. Due to this, the search for methods of plant protection that are safe for the environment is becoming increasingly popular. Induction of plant resistance to disease is one of the promising non-chemical ways of protection, in which plant enzymes play a key role. It was shown that in response to pathogen invasion, plants enhance protective properties by inducing the activity of a wide range of enzymes that slow the spread of infection, in particular: peroxidases, β-1,3-glucanases, chitinases, polyphenol oxidases and L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL). The aim of the research was to study the change in PAL activity in soybean and lupine plants under conditions of artificial infection with some phytopathogenic bacteria of the Pseudomonas genus and under the action of Ecovital and EPAA-M biological preparations. Methods. PAL activity was determined spectrophotometrically. Changes of soybean (Glycine max) and lupine (Lupinus luteus L.) plants resistance to diseases caused by bacteria of the Pseudomonas genus were evaluated using phytopathological methods. Statistical processing of the research results was performed using MS Excel computer program with Student’s t-test and estimation of least significant difference (LSD). Results. It was found that under conditions of soybean and lupine plants infection with phytopathogenic bacteria of the Pseudomonas genus on the background of pre-sowing seed treatment with Ekovital and EPAA-M biological preparations, composition based on them and synthetic standard – salicylic acid a significant increase in FAL activity in the aboveground and the degree of infectious roots – reducing of plants with pathogens was observed. It has been established that the growth of PAL activity under the condition of infection with phytopathogenic bacteria of the Pseudomonas genus occurs after 2–6 h and lasts up to 7 days from the moment of phytopathogen invasion into the plant. The most increasing of PAL activity was after treatment of seeds with Ecovital and EPAA-M composition – by 38.1–73.3% (Lupinus luteus L.) and 60.4–110% (Glycine max) compared to the control. Treatment with the composition of biological products also helped to reduce the degree of plant damage. PAL activity increasing and reducing the area of soybean and lupine leaves affected surface can indicate the induction of protective reactions in plants. Conclusions. The use of the composition of EPAA-M with the microbial preparation Ecovital contribute to the increase of PAL activity and the formation of resistance to phytopathogenic bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas in Glycine max and Lupinus luteus L. plants.

Tissue Browning

A wound signal originates at the site of injury in lettuce [Lactucasativa (L.)] leaf tissue and propagates into adjacent tissue where it induces a number of physiological responses that include increased phenolic metabolism with the de novo synthesis of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL, EC 4.3.1.5), the synthesis and accumulation of soluble phenolic compounds (e.g., chlorogenic acid), and subsequent tissue browning. Exposing excised mid-rib leaf tissue to vapors (20 μmol·g-1 FW) or aqueous solutions (100 mm) of n-alcohols inhibited this wound-induced tissue browning by 40% and 60%, respectively. Effectiveness of the alcohol increased linearly from ethanol to the seven-carbon heptanol, and then was lost for the longer n-alcohols 1-octanol and 1-nonanol. The 2- and 3-isomers of the effective alcohols did not significantly reduce wound-induced phenolic accumulation at optimal 1-alcohol concentrations, but significant reductions did occur at much higher concentrations (100 μmol·g-1 FW) of the 2-, and 3-isomers. The active n-alcohols were maximally effective when applied during the first 2 h after excision, and were ineffective if applied 12 h after excision. Phospholipase D (PLD) and its product phosphatidic acid (PA) are thought to initiate the oxylipin pathway that culminates in the production of jasmonic acid, and PLD is specifically inhibited by 1-butanol, but not by 2- or 3-butanol. These results suggest that PLD, PA, and the oxylipin pathway may be involved in producing the wound signal responsible for increased wound-induced PAL activity, phenolic accumulation, and browning in fresh-cut lettuce leaf tissue.

Russet spotting is a physiological disorder of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) caused by exposure to hormonal levels (<1 μL·L-1) of ethylene in air at ≈5 °C. Enhanced phenolic metabolism and the accumulation of phenolic compounds accompany the appearance of brown, oval lesions on the leaf midrib. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) is the first committed enzyme in the phenylpropanoid pathway. Three inhibitors of PAL activity [2-aminoindan-2-phosphonic acid (AIP), α-aminooxyacetic acid (AOA), and α-aminooxi-β-phenylpropionic acid (AOPP)] greatly reduced the accumulation of phenolic compounds and browning of lesions. At a concentration of 50 μm, AIP inhibited the formation of chlorogenic and dicaffeoyl tartaric acids in cut midribs of iceberg lettuce by 92% and 98%, respectively. AIP competitively inhibited PAL activity from a lettuce midrib homogenate with an apparent Ki of 22 nm. While the formation of phenolic compounds was strongly inhibited by AIP, the number of lesions associated with russet spotting was not affected. Only the color of the lesions was affected by AIP. In control midribs the russet spotting lesions were brown while those in the AIP-treated midribs were initially olive green and after 3 to 7 days these lesions turned the characteristic brown color. No tyrosine ammonia-lyase activity was detected in a homogenate of lettuce midrib tissue. These results indicate that the early development of russet spotting lesions is independent of the increase in PAL activity and phenolic compounds rather than an effect of these increases as previously suggested. However, accumulation of phenolic compounds does contribute to the subsequent browning symptoms indicative of russet spotting.

Internal breakdown (IB) is the limiting factor in the storage and postharvest handling of stone fruits. The symptoms of IB appear when fruits are kept for prolonged periods at temperatures below 10C and include leatheriness, mealiness, browning and bleeding of the flesh, and failure to ripen normally. We investigated the changes in phenolic compounds associated with IB of stone fruits. Twenty-eight phenolic compounds were separated by HPLC. Ten of these components were significantly affected by chilling temperatures. The concentration of six phenols changed in response to ripening after chilling temperatures, parallel to the appearance of IB symptoms. Most phenols showed a concentration gradient from the inside to the outside of the fruit, Comparison between peach cultivars showed characteristic differences in phenol metabolism during ripening. In both cultivars the most predominant phenol, chlorogenic acid, showed little change in concentration during storage. The structure of key phenolic compounds will be determined in order to elucidate the biochemical relationship between the phenols and the related enzymes. In this respect, a method was developed to detect phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity in peach fruit.
