Changes in the plastid apparatus of apical meristem cells of potato tubers upon growth regulation with jasmonic acid

Changes in the plastid apparatus of apical meristem cells of potato tubers upon growth regulation... A comparative ultramorphometric study of the effect of jasmonic acid (JA) on the plastid apparatus in apical cells of potato tubers varying in physiological state was performed. When tubers were treated with JA at forced rest, the plastid apparatus of apical cells decreased in area and plastid proliferation was suppressed. When treatment was performed during growth, the area of the plastid apparatus remained unchanged, division was suppressed, and plastid budding was stimulated in apical cells. There was also a common response to JA that was independent of the physiological state of tubers. JA stimulated the development of the internal membrane system in plastids, reduced the amount of protein inclusions, and increased the portion of plastids having cisterns of the granular endoplasmic reticulum (GER) around their envelopes. The ultrastructural changes in plastids made it possible to assume that JA increases the biosynthetic activity of the plastid apparatus in apical meristem cells of potato tubers. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology Springer Journals

Abstract

A comparative ultramorphometric study of the effect of jasmonic acid (JA) on the plastid apparatus in apical cells of potato tubers varying in physiological state was performed. When tubers were treated with JA at forced rest, the plastid apparatus of apical cells decreased in area and plastid proliferation was suppressed. When treatment was performed during growth, the area of the plastid apparatus remained unchanged, division was suppressed, and plastid budding was stimulated in apical cells. There was also a common response to JA that was independent of the physiological state of tubers. JA stimulated the development of the internal membrane system in plastids, reduced the amount of protein inclusions, and increased the portion of plastids having cisterns of the granular endoplasmic reticulum (GER) around their envelopes. The ultrastructural changes in plastids made it possible to assume that JA increases the biosynthetic activity of the plastid apparatus in apical meristem cells of potato tubers.
