S-100 proteins represent a group of closely related acidic, calcium binding proteins originally isolated from the mammalian nervous system and later detected in non-neural cell types and in a wide variety of vertebrate and invertebrate species. The present study used immunochemical and immunohistochemical methods to extend the investigation of S-100 during phylogenesis to plant tissues. The presence of S-100-like immunoreactive material was detected in extracts of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) terminal buds and young leaves by the ELISA method and by Western blotting using different anti-S-100 rabbit antisera. Using the PAP method, serial sections of young spinach leaves treated with the same antisera exhibited an immunoreaction product that was confined to the cytoplasm and nucleus (but absent from the vacuoles) in meristematic, epidermal, and parenchymal cells. The present data enlarge the field of investigation of S-100 proteins in the search of the function(s) of S-100 in biological organisms.

Symptoms resembling powdery mildew appeared on spinach crops during April and May in 2007. Infected plants have suppressed growth, smaller and degenerated young leaves. The affected leaves become yellowish and wilt in a short time. High temperatures and draught conditions cause drying out of the affected plants. The symptoms are similar to physiological degeneration but are found on single plants or on small groups of plants. When plants are carefully examined, fine, exogenic mycelium is found on the leave blades. The mycelium can be clearly seen close to the main veins where it becomes denser and forms mycelium patches. On the leaf and flower stalks and plant stems the mycelium is white and fine at the beginning, and later becomes grayish. Under microscope analysis ectophytic mycelia of exogenic origin and short chains of spores are observed. On short conidiophores, chains with two types of conidia are formed: macro conidia that are one-celled, colorless, thin-walled, elliptical to cylindrical, sized 24.5-28.4 x 17.5 ?m; and micro conidia - ovoid to elliptical, sized 10.4-14.1 x 7.7 ?m. Teleomorphs are found in groups or as a single structure mainly close to the leaf veins. They are roundish and have appendages with uncinate-circinate to helicoids apex, sized - 87.5- 150 ?m. Cleistothecia have 4-5 to 8 asci (68.0 x 38.0 ?m), with 4 to 8 elliptical ascospores, sized 15.5-22.0 ? 11.0-17.5 ?m. The causal agent of powdery mildew on spinach found in Bulgaria has been identified as Uncinula spp. (Sawadaea spp.), Euoidium type anamorph, subspecies spinaciae.

Carbonic anhydrase was found in leaf extracts prepared from 19 of 22 land and aquatic plant species examined. The most active preparations were obtained from Spinacia oleracea L., Tetragonia expansa Thunb., Tropaeolum majus L., and Sambucus canadensis L. Carbonic anhydrase is located in the leaf cytoplasm. Previously conflicting observations concerning its intracellular localization have been reconciled experimentally. Plant carbonic anhydrase is strongly inhibited by M/1000 azide, M/1000 cyanide, and M/2000 sulphanilamide and is weakly inhibited by 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, diethyldithiocarbamate, and o-phenanthroline. The white zones of variegated Tradescantia leaves contain 50% less carbonic anhydrase than their green counterparts. Albino barley leaves contain 75% less carbonic anhydrase than normal barley leaves of the same size and age. The carbonic anhydrase content of green leaves kept in darkness for four and five days was lowered by 30–50%. Very young leaves contain less enzyme than mature leaves. These results are discussed in relation to the possible role of carbonic anhydrase in photosynthesis.

Es wird eine präparative Methode zur Isolierung pflanzlicher Zellbestandteile mittels der trägerfreien, kontinuierlichen Ablenkungselektrophorese nach HANNIG 1, 2 kurz skizziert. Als Versuchsmaterial dienen Blätter von Spinat (Spinacia oleracea L.), Sonnenblumen (Helianthus annus L.) und Löwenzahn (Taraxacum officinale Web.).Die Verteilungskurven werden durch Extinktionsmessung der einzelnen Fraktionen in den Auffanggläschen erhalten. Die Definition der Teilchen erfolgt vorläufig morphologisch durch Anfärben und lichtmikroskopische Prüfung als auch durch elektronenmikroskopische Kontrolle nach vorheriger Präparation nach dem „negativ staining“ Verfahren 3,4 oder Kontrastierung mit Phosphorwolframsäure.Bei der Trennung werden Zellkerne und Zellkernfragmente, ganze Chloroplasten, „Mitochondrien“ und plasmatische Strukturen erhalten.

The distribution and inducibility of cytosolic glutathione S-transferase (EC 2.5.1.18) and glutathione peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.19) activities in rat liver parenchymal, Kupffer and endothelial cells were studied. In untreated rats glutathione S-transferase activity with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene and 4-hydroxynon-2-trans-enal as substrates was 1.7-2.2-fold higher in parenchymal cells than in Kupffer and endothelial cells, whereas total, selenium-dependent and non-selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase activities were similar in all three cell types. Glutathione S-transferase isoenzymes in parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells isolated from untreated rats were separated by chromatofocusing in an f.p.l.c. system: all glutathione S-transferase isoenzymes observed in the sinusoidal lining cells were also detected in the parenchymal cells, whereas Kupffer and endothelial cells lacked several glutathione S-transferase isoenzymes present in parenchymal cells. At 5 days after administration of Arocolor 1254 glutathione S-transferase activity was only enhanced in parenchymal cells; furthermore, selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase activity decreased in parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells. At 13 days after a single injection of Aroclor 1254 a strong induction of glutathione S-transferase had taken place in all three cell types, whereas selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase activity remained unchanged (endothelial cells) or was depressed (parenchymal and Kupffer cells). Hence these results clearly establish that glutathione S-transferase and glutathione peroxidase are differentially regulated in rat liver parenchymal as well as non-parenchymal cells. The presence of glutathione peroxidase and several glutathione S-transferase isoenzymes capable of detoxifying a variety of compounds in Kupffer and endothelial cells might be crucial to protect the liver from damage by potentially hepatotoxic substances.
