    Notes: Abstract Dissociation of active H+ extrusion (−ΔH+) from K+ uptake in pea and maize root segments was attempted by substituting K+ in the incubation medium with lipophilic cations assumed to enter the cell by passive, non-specific, permeation through the lipid component of the plasmalemma. Among the compounds tested, tributylbenzylammonium significantly stimulated −ΔH+ in the absence of other monovalent cations in the medium. This effect was much more evident when the experiment was carried out in the presence of fusicoccin, which strongly stimulates proton extrusion and monovalent cation uptake, and hyperpolarizes the trans-membrane electric potential in these materials. Also the lipophilic cations tetraphenylphosphonium, dimethyldibenzylammonium and hexylguanidine markedly stimulated FC-promoted −ΔH+. Octylguanidine at a low concentration induced an early stimulation followed by a strong inhibition of −ΔH+. A complete lack of additivity was observed between the effects of lipophilic cations and that of K+ on H+ extrusion. Lipophilic cations severely inhibited K+ uptake.These data are interpreted as supporting the view of an electric, rather than a chemical, (namely, involving the same carrier system) nature of the coupling of active H+ extrusion with K+ influx.

    Notes: Abstract In order to study the influence of Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (AM) on the development of root rot infection, tomato plants were raised with or withoutGlomus mosseae and/orPhytophthora nicotianae var.parasitica in a sand culture system. All plants were fed with a nutrient solution containing one of two phosphorus (P) levels, 32µM (I P) or 96µM (II P), to test the consequence of enhanced P nutrition by the AM fungus on disease dynamics. Mycorrhizal plants had a similar development to that of control plants. Treatment withPhytophthora nicotianae var.parasitica resulted in a visible reduction in plant weight and in a widespread root necrosis in plants without mycorrhiza. The presence of the AM fungus decreased both weight reduction and root necrosis. The percentage reduction of adventitious root necrosis and of necrotic root apices ranged between 63 and 89% The enhancement of P nutrition increased plant development, but did not appreciably decrease disease spread. In our system, mycorrhiza increased plant resistance toP. nicotianae var.parasitica infection. Although a contribution of P nutrition by mycorrhiza cannot be excluded, other mechanisms appear to play a crucial role.

    Notes: Abstract Leek plants (Allium porrum L.), infected or not with the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus, Glomus mosseae, were grown in a sand-hydroponic system, fed with a nutrient solution containing 3.2 or 96 μM P and analyzed for root IAA and ZR content, to assess the role played by the fungus and P nutrition on host hormonal balance. IAA was analyzed by HPLC-fluorimetry, ZR by HPLC-UV coupled with a bioassay based on the expression of a phytohormone-regulated GUS reporter gene. Shoot and root weights and shoot FW-DW ratio enhancements, as well as root-to-shoot DW ratio decrement in mycorrhizal plants, were related to P nutrition. Shoot P concentration was increased by mycorrhizae at both P levels, but was comparable in AM plants grown at 3.2 μM P and non mycorrhizal (NM) plants at 96 μM P. Mycorrhizae and P increased IAA at substantially similar values, while P increased ZR much more than mycorrhizae did. These results are discussed in relation to root architecture modifications induced by the AM fungus.

    Notes: Summary The mitotic cycle in root apical meristems of mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal plants ofAllium porrum L.+Glomus sp., strain E3, has been examined by3H-TdR labelling. Significant slowing down of the mitotic cycle in the mycorrhizas through an extension of G1, S and metaphase was observed, while G2 was drastically reduced. Lengthening of the cycle was proportional to increasing infection. The ways in which the fungus could influence cell division are discussed.

    Notes: Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi significantly improve plant growth in soils with low phosphorus availability and cause many changes in root morphology, similar to those produced by increased P nutrition, mainly depending on root apex size and activity. The aim of this work was to discriminate between the morphogenetic role of AM fungi and P in leek (Allium porrum L.) by feeding mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal plants with two nutrient solutions containing 3.2 or 96 μM P and examining specific parameters related to adventitious root apices (apex size, mitotic cycle, and RNA synthesis). The results showed that AM fungi blocked meristem activity as indicated by the higher percentages of inactive apices and metaphases in the apical meristem of mycorrhizal plants, whereas the high P supply lengthened the mitotic cycle without blocking the apices, resulting in steady, slow root growth. The possible involvement of abscisic acid in the regulation of root apex activity is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Lincoln and Frisson varieties of endomycorrhiza-forming pea plants and isogenic mycorrhiza-resistant Frisson mutant (P2) plants were inoculated withGlomus mosseae. Nuclei released from inoculated and non-inoculated (control) roots were analysed for chromatin structure and activity using flow cytometric techniques. Chromatin accessibility to the specific DNA fluorochrome DAPI at saturating and non-saturating concentrations was measured. DNA fluorescence of nuclei of mycorrhizal Lincoln and wild genotype Frisson plants was significantly increased, compared to the controls, at saturating and, more strongly, at non-saturating DAPI concentrations. In contrast, the nuclei of inoculated P2 mutant roots showed a much lower increase in fluorescence, compared to uninoculated controls. Nuclei released from mycorrhiza-infected Lincoln roots were more sensitive to DNase I than those of uninfected ones. These results indicate a dramatic increase in that portion of the genome which can be transcribed in response to AM infection.

    Description: Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) and bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) are oocyte-specific growth factors with central roles in mammalian reproduction, regulating species-specific fecundity, ovarian follicular somatic cell differentiation, and oocyte quality. In the human, GDF9 is produced in a latent form, the mechanism of activation being an open question. Here, we produced a range of recombinant GDF9 and BMP15 variants, examined their in silico and physical interactions and their effects on ovarian granulosa cells (GC) and oocytes. We found that the potent synergistic actions of GDF9 and BMP15 on GC can be attributed to the formation of a heterodimer, which we have termed cumulin. Structural modeling of cumulin revealed a dimerization interface identical to homodimeric GDF9 and BMP15, indicating likely formation of a stable complex. This was confirmed by generation of recombinant heterodimeric complexes of pro/mature domains (pro-cumulin) and covalent mature domains (cumulin). Both pro-cumulin and cumulin exhibited highly potent bioactivity on GC, activating both SMAD2/3 and SMAD1/5/8 signaling pathways and promoting proliferation and expression of a set of genes associated with oocyte-regulated GC differentiation. Cumulin was more potent than pro-cumulin, pro-GDF9, pro-BMP15, or the two combined on GC. However, on cumulus-oocyte complexes, pro-cumulin was more effective than all other growth factors at notably improving oocyte quality as assessed by subsequent day 7 embryo development. Our results support a model of activation for human GDF9 dependent on cumulin formation through heterodimerization with BMP15. Oocyte-secreted cumulin is likely to be a central regulator of fertility in mono-ovular mammals.
