DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH REGULATION |
A Thiol Protease and an Anionic Peroxidase Are Induced by Lowering Cytokinins during Callus Growth in Petunia
C. Tournaire, S. Kushnir, G. Bauw, D. Inze, B. T. de la Serve and J. P. Renaudin
Laboratoire de Biochimie et Physiologie Vegetales, Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique/Ecole Nationale Superieure Agronomique/Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, F34060 Montpellier Cedex 1, France (C.T., B.T.d.l.S., J.-P.R.)
We previously identified a group of proteins that increase early in Petunia
hybrida calli subcultured on a low-cytokinin medium, unlike the calli
subcultured on a high-cytokinin medium. The calli on the low-cytokinin
medium do not regenerate (J.-P. Renaudin, C. Tournaire, B. Teyssendier de
la Serve [1991] Physiol Plant 82: 48-56). Two of these proteins, P21 and
P17, have been identified by peptide sequencing and cloned. P21 is highly
homologous to a group of thiol proteases, including barley aleurain, rice
oryzain [gamma], Arabidopsis SAG2, and mammalian cathepsin H. P17 is highly
homologous to a group of anionic peroxidases from potato and tomato. A
study of their expression in two P. hybrida lines, PC6 and St40, which
differ in their ability to regenerate, showed that the genes for P21 and
P17 are differentially expressed depending on the type and the age of the
organ, with the highest expression in senescing leaves and in aged calli.
The data are in favor of these genes being associated with an early step of
senescence, which may be due, in part, to a reduction in total cytokinin.
The two Petunia lines are, thus, functionally different concerning the
action of cytokinin in two developmental phenomena: in vitro organogenesis
and senescence.
