The present study deals with the growth and development of the horn-shaped gall, which is induced by Schlechtendalia chinensis Bell. on leaves of Rhus chinensis Mill. The relationship between gall formers and their host plants was investigated by means of the activities of various invertases, the expressions of the cell wall invertase gene (INV2), and vacuolar invertase gene (INV3) during gall development. Our results show that the increase in the sink strength of the galls required cell wall invertase and vacuolar invertase, and that vacuolar invertase had a particular impact during the early development. In addition, vacuolar invertase activity was always significantly higher in galls than in leaves. However, ionically bound cell wall invertase showed a slightly significant increased activity level when compared with the leaves after galls had entered the fast growing period. This result indicates that vacuolar invertase is related to the rapid expansion of the galls, but ionically bound cell wall invertase is involved in the rapid growth of tissues. The enhanced activity of cell wall invertase and the expression of INV2 may be a plant response to a gall-induced stress. Cytoplasmic invertase that acts as a maintenance enzyme, or takes part in the production of secondary metabolites, was elevated when intracellular acid invertase activity decreased.

Cu Stress

Two Rumex dentatus populations, one from copper (Cu) mine and the other from uncontaminated site, were studied for sucrose metabolism of seed under Cu stress. Cu treatment significantly inhibited vacuolar invertase activity in non-metallicolous population (NMP), while it in metallicolous population (MP) was markedly higher than control. At control, cell wall invertase activity in MP showed little difference from NMP. However, after Cu treatment, cell wall invertase activity in MP was significantly higher than NMP. Activity of N/A-Inv was not affected by population or Cu treatment. Compared with control, sucrose and reducing sugars contents in MP were increased by Cu treatment, but those in NMP was decreased. Cu concentration in seed of NMP was higher than MP under Cu stress. These results suggested less Cu transported to seed and efficient sucrose metabolism in seed of MP might be partly reasons why R. dentatus can successful reproduction at Cu enriched soils.

Assay Methods

Extraction and assay methods were developed for the determination of both soluble and cell wall invertase activity in sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) from minimal (0.5 g) tissue. Cell wall invertase (CWI) was measured using a pellet mix procedure and the pH optima ranged between pH 3.2 and 3.6. The pH optima for the soluble invertases were 4.5 and 7.3 for soluble acid (SAI) and neutral (NI) invertase, respectively. At low pH, acid hydrolysis of sucrose was observed and its spurious effect on measured enzyme activity was removed by the inclusion of additional controls run in parallel, which lacked crude plant extract. Invertase activity was examined in sugarcane tissues of varying ages. In leaves and stem, the SAI activity was greatly reduced in mature tissue extracts. Similarly, the CWI activity was reduced in older leaves. In contrast, a less marked drop in NI activity was observed in extracts from old leaves and activity from stem extracts remained constant irrespective of tissue age. The role of SAI has been linked to growth and differentiation and these observations suggest that CWI may also be intrinsically involved in these processes. NI appears to have a housekeeping role in maintaining hexose concentrations within the cytosol.

After roast darkening (ARD) is a defect concealed in the raw macadamia kernel, only becoming evident upon roasting. Kernels susceptible to some forms of ARD reportedly have a higher glucose and fructose concentration. By developing a procedure to simulate ARD and through the inclusion of effector molecules we have demonstrated that the enzyme invertase is key to this form of ARD. Biochemical analysis of raw mature kernel has shown high invertase activity. Separating the extract into pellet and soluble fractions showed that the high invertase activity occurred in the pellet fraction containing the cell wall isoform and that the soluble fraction had little activity. A broad peak in crude cell wall invertase activity occurred between pH 3.75 and 5.0. Enzyme kinetics of the cell wall invertase from crude extracts assayed at pH 4 indicated a high level of activity (Vmax = 4.11 ± 0.55 mg glucose produced/g fresh weight tissue.h), a high affinity for sucrose (Km = 2.02 ± 0.96 mm), and inhibition by MgCl2 (K i = 71.2 ± 12.5 mm). We propose that the initial step in the processes leading to ARD in macadamia could involve membrane damage and subsequent modification of the kernel sugar composition by cell wall invertase.

ABSTRACTFlowering plants produce nectar to attract pollinators. The main nectar sugars are sucrose, glucose, and fructose, which can vary widely in ratio and concentration across species.Brassicaspp. produce a hexose-dominant nectar (high in the monosaccharides glucose and fructose) with very low levels of the disaccharide sucrose. Cell wall invertases (CWINVs) catalyze the irreversible hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose in the apoplast. We found thatBrCWINV4Ais highly expressed in the nectaries ofBrassica rapa. Moreover, abrcwinv4anull mutant has (1) greatly reduced cell wall invertase activity in the nectaries, and (2) produces a sucrose-rich nectar with little hexose content, but (3) with significantly less volume. These results were recapitulated via exogenous application of an invertase inhibitor to wild-type flowers. Honeybees prefer nectars with some sucrose, but wild-typeB. rapaflowers were much more heavily visited than those ofbrcwinv4a, suggesting that the potentially attractive sucrose-rich nectar ofbrcwinv4acould not compensate for its low volume. These results cumulatively indicate that BrCWINV4A is not only essential for producing a hexose-rich nectar, but also support a model of nectar secretion in which its hydrolase activity is required for maintaining a high intracellular-to-extracellular sucrose ratio that facilitates the continuous export of sucrose into the apoplast via SWEET9. Extracellular hydrolysis of each sucrose into two hexoses byBrCWINV4Aalso likely creates the osmotic potential required for nectar droplet formation. In summary, modulation of CWINV activity can at least partially account for naturally occurring differences in nectar volume and sugar composition.
