Expression of Phospholipase D during Castor Bean Leaf Senescence

Membrane deterioration in plant senescence is commonly associated with
progressive decreases in membrane phospholipid content. This study
investigated the expression and regulation of phospholipase D (PLD; EC
3.1.4.4) during senescence in castor bean (Ricinus communis L. cv Hale)
leaf discs. The rate of leaf senescence was accelerated by 50 [mu]M
abscisic acid and was attenuated by 50 [mu]M cytokinin during incubation at
23[deg]C for up to 5 d. Leaf senescence was indicated by decreases in the
content of total proteins, chlorophyll, and phospholipids. PLD activity in
both membrane-associated and cytosolic fractions showed a gradual increase
in the absence of phytohormones. Abscisic acid stimulated an increase in
membrane-associated PLD and had little effect on the soluble form. On the
other hand, cytokinin retarded the increase in membrane-associated PLD.
Immunoblotting analysis using PLD-specific antibodies revealed that the
changes in PLD activity were correlated with those of PLD protein. Analysis
of PLD by nondenaturing PAGE showed the appearance of a PLD structural
variant, PLD 3, in abscisic acid-treated leaf discs. Northern blotting
analysis using a PLD cDNA probe revealed an increase in PLD mRNA in
senescing leaf discs. These data indicate complex mechanisms for the
regulation of PLD during senescence, which include increases in
membrane-associated PLD, differential expression of PLD isoforms, and
changes in amounts of PLD protein and mRNA. Such controlled expression
points to a role for PLD in membrane deterioration and plant senescence.
