Accidental Introduction

Abstract A. triticina is one of several species in the genus that have been isolated from wheat leaves; it is demonstrated to be pathogenic, whereas others appear to be primarily saprophytes. The leaf blight disease it causes has been a serious problem on susceptible cultivars of durum [Triticum turgidum subsp. durum] and bread wheat [Triticum aestivum] in India. The species has been reported from other hosts and other countries on several continents, but recent taxonomic examinations (Mercado Vergnes et al., 2006; Simmons, 2007) have only supported its presence in southern and southwestern Asia. Nevertheless, it is definitely seedborne, so that the possibility of accidental introduction by that means is a threat for growers using imported seed.

Ph Range

Glutamine synthetase in extracts from young wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) leaves was quite stable at pH 7.0-9.0, whereas it was remarkably more labile below and above this range. Added extract from senescing wheat leaves accelerated the inactivation over the whole investigated pH range (6.0-10.5) and was most effective around pH 8.5-9.0. At pH 7.5, glutamine synthetase inactivation by endogenous or other supplied endopeptidases was delayed in the presence of magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride and L-lysine, while potassium chloride stabilised only slightly. No major effect was caused by the addition of sucrose, L-alanine, L-serine or glycine. These results, and the fact that the stabilities of various enzymes are affected differently by the same solutes, suggest stabilising interactions with the substrate protein (glutamine synthetase) rather than effects on the inactivating endopeptidases. From immunoblots, it became evident that the inactivation of glutamine synthetase was paralleled by the degradation of the intact subunit. A smaller fragment was detected on immunoblots during the catabolism of this enzyme. Stabilising solutes retarded the loss of the intact subunit and the formation of the fragment. Solute concentrations must be considered as factors regulating the catabolism of a particular protein by given proteolytic activities.

The contents of 1,4-benzoxazinone derivatives in wheat plants infected with Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici Ericss. & Henn, race 32, and in uninfected controls were examined in four near-isogenic lines of different infection types: Triticum aestivum L., cultivar Prelude Sr5 (highly resistant), Sr24, Sr26 (moderately resistant), and srx (susceptible). In all infection types the contents of DIMBOA -glc and HMBOA -glc decrease with time in the uninfected controls as well as in the infected plants. However, following inoculation, the synthesis of HDIBOA -glc is drastically increased in the moderately resistant cultivars. The results suggest that this fully methylated 1,4-benzoxazinone may function as a phytoalexin in this type of interaction. The benzoxazolinone MBOA which has been described as an in vitro conversion product of the benzoxazinones mentioned above is not detected in inoculated or uninoculated leaves.

Glyoxylate Aminotransferase

Chromatographic studies were made of the following aminotransferases in crude, dialyzed extracts of wheat leaves (Triticum aestivum L. var. Selkirk): alanine: glyoxylate; aspartate: glyoxylate; glycine: 2-oxoglutarate (EC2.6.1.4); serine: glyoxylate; L-aspartate: 2-oxoglutarate (EC 2.6.1.1); L-alanine: 2-oxoglutarate (EC 2.6.1.2).After partial purification, the properties of serine: glyoxylate aminotransferase were studied in greater detail. This reaction proceeded in the forward direction to no more than one-half completion but no reverse reaction could be detected. The enzyme showed optimum activity at pH 8.2, and Km values of 9.0 × 10−4 M for serine and 2.5 × 10−4 M for glyoxylate were obtained. No clear requirement for the coenzyme pyridoxal phosphate or for metal ion participation could be shown but orthophosphate activated the enzyme when the latter was isolated in either Tris buffer or distilled water. Various aspects of glycine metabolism are discussed in relation to this and other work recently reported using wheat blades.

Primary leaves of Triticum aestivum L. var Selkirk were excised when 7–9 days old. 6-Phosphofructokinase (PFK) (EC 2.7.1.11) activity was determined in extracts from freshly excised leaves and those floated for 1, 3, or 5 days on a solution of benzimidazole (50 mg/litre) or water.PFK activity in extracts from detached leaves treated with benzimidazole was essentially the same as that in extracts from freshly excised leaves. However, the activity of the enzyme from leaves floated on water declined rapidly after 24 h floatation.

Nutritional Balance

Wheat is a plant that accumulates silicon (Si). The application of silicon to the soil may influence the absorption of nutrients by the plant and, therefore, its nutritional balance. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of calcium and magnesium silicate (CaSiO3/MgSiO3) on the ability of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to utilize silicon and absorb nutrients from soils collected in the state of Paraná, Brazil. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse using 8-L plastic pots and three types of soil. Treatments were arranged in randomized blocks (3 × 5 factorial design): three soils [Rhodic Acrudox (Ox1), Rhodic Hapludox (Ox2), and Arenic Hapludult (Ult)], five silicate rates (0, 1, 2, 4, and 6 t ha–1 of calcium/magnesium silicate), and four replications were performed. The effects of calcium and magnesium silicate on the concentrations of Si, N, P, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, S, Cu2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, and Mn2+ within leaves were evaluated. Silicon concentrations in wheat leaves and stems increased with increasing rates of calcium and magnesium silicate applied to the soil. Wheat shoots accumulated averages of 28.2% (Ox1), 60.61% (Ult), and 74.14% (Ox2) of the Si from the silicate applied to the soil. Silicate fertilization increased the amount of Ca+2 and Mg+2 within leaves and reduced the amount of Zn2+ and Mn2+ within leaves. Calcium and magnesium silicate prevented excessive amounts of Mn2+ from being absorbed by wheat, improving the balance in the absorption of this nutrient.

An osmotic stress imposed by polyethylene glycol reduced the number and length of stroma thylakoids, the total thylakoid length, and chlorophyll (Chl) accumulation in pigment–protein complex II during the greening of wheat, Triticum aestivum L. cv. Chris, chloroplasts. The combination treatment of benzyladenine and gibberellic acid applied with the imposed stress increased the number of thylakoids per granum, number and length of stroma thylakoids, total thylakoid length, and accumulation of Chl in pigment–protein complex II but reduced plastid number. Abscisic acid reduced the number and length of stroma thylakoids and the total thylakoid length of developing chloroplasts.
