Abstract
Many plant species grow extrafloral nectaries and produce nectar to attract carnivore arthropods as defenders against herbivores. Two nectary types that evolved with Populus trichocarpa (Ptr) and Populus tremula × Populus tremuloides (Ptt) were studied from their ecology down to the genes and molecules. Both nectary types strongly differ in morphology, nectar composition and mode of secretion, and defense strategy. In Ptt, nectaries represent constitutive organs with continuous merocrine nectar flow, nectary appearance, nectar production, and flow. In contrast, Ptr nectaries were found to be holocrine and inducible. Neither mechanical wounding nor the application of jasmonic acid, but infestation by sucking insects, induced Ptr nectar secretion. Thus, nectaries of Ptr and Ptt seem to answer the same threat by the use of different mechanisms.

Immunolocalization and histochemical evidence for the association of two different Arabidopsis annexins with secretion during early seedling growth and development. PLANTA 2005; 220:621-31. [PMID: 15368128 DOI: 10.1007/s00425-004-1374-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 48] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2004] [Accepted: 08/07/2004] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
Annexins are a multigene, multifunctional family of calcium-dependent, membrane-binding proteins found in animal and plant cells. In plants, annexins have been localized in the cytoplasm and at the cell periphery of highly secretory cell types, and in the tip region of polarly growing cells. Consequently, one proposed function for annexins in plant cells is participation in the Golgi-mediated secretion of new wall materials. In Arabidopsis, there are eight different annexin cDNAs, which share between 30% and 81% deduced amino acid sequence identity. We have used two monospecific Arabidopsis anti-annexin antibodies, raised against divergent 31-mer peptides from AnnAt1 and AnnAt2 and a previously characterized pea anti-annexin p35 antibody, for Western blot and immunolocalization studies in Arabidopsis. Western blot analyses of various Arabidopsis protein fractions showed that the two Arabidopsis antibodies are able to specifically recognize annexins in both soluble and membrane fractions. Immunofluorescence results with the three annexin antibodies show staining of secretory cells, especially at the cell periphery in developing sieve tubes, outer root cap cells, and in root hairs, consistent with previous results. In developmentally different stages some staining was also seen near the apical meristem, in some leaf cells, and in phloem-associated cells. Autoradiography following 3H-galactose incorporation was used to more clearly correlate active secretion of wall materials with the localization patterns of a specific individual annexin protein in the same cells at the same developmental stage. The results obtained in this study provide further support for the hypothesis that these two Arabidopsis annexins function in Golgi-mediated secretion during early seedling growth and development.

Abstract
In homogenates of stem sections from etiolated pea (Pisum sativum L.) seedlings, secretory vesicles can be separated from Golgi-apparatus cisternae by rate-zonal centrifugation in renografin gradients. Optically, two bands of turbidity are observed, the uppermost containing the secretory vesicles and the lower one the Golgi-apparatus cisternae. The absence of glutaraldehyde in the homogenizing medium has allowed the effective characterization of marker-enzyme activities. Golgi-apparatus cisternae have been recognized by the presence of inosine-diphosphatase and glucan-synthase I activities as well as by electron microscopy. In contrast, although secretory vesicles also bear inosine diphosphatase they do not appear to possess glucan-synthase activity. Three plasma-membrane markers, NPA-binding, glucan synthase II, and KCl,Mg(2+)-adenosine triphosphatase (pH 6.5), were not detected in secretory vesicles. Pulse-chase experiments with [(3)H]glucose support our designation of secretory vesicles and Golgi-cisternal fractions.
