Stress-induced flowering has been studied mostly in the short-day plant pharbitis (also called Japanese morning glory;Ipomoea nil, formerly Pharbitis nil). In this article, physiological characteristics, the regulation by salicylic acid (SA) and the expression of flowering-related genes in stress-induced flowering in pharbitis are reviewed. Pharbitis flowered under long-days in response to poor nutrition or low temperature. The pharbitis plants induced to flower by stress reached anthesis, fruited and produced fertile seeds. The progeny of the stressed plants developed normally. Grafting experiments indicated that a transmissible flowering stimulus is involved in poor nutrition stress-induced flowering. Aminooxyacetic acid (AOA), a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) inhibitor, inhibited the stress-induced flowering, and this inhibition was overcome by SA. Stress induced PAL activity and SA biosynthesis. PnFT2, a pharbitis ortholog of the flowering gene FLOWERING LOCUS T of Arabidopsis thaliana, was expressed when the plants were induced to flower by stress. The overexpression of PnFT2 induced flowering, and PnFT2RNAi inhibited it. AOA inhibited PnFT2 expression induced by stress, and SA eliminated this inhibitory effect. SA enhanced PnFT2 expression under poor nutrition but not under non-stressful conditions. Therefore, stress may induce the production of SA and other unknown factor(s) that may work in combination to induce PnFT2 expression and flowering.展开更多

By analysing proteins in the cotyledons from three groups with 2-D PAGE, we found nodifference in protein pattern between the three groups at 0 or 8 h after photoperiodic treatments.At 24 h after the treatments, a specific protein(MW:19 kD; pI: 4.5)appeared only in the cotyledonsof the seedlings which endured SD. This protein disappeared at 72 h after SD. ActinomycinD could inhibit flowering and the specific protein occurrence when applied to cotyledonsprior to SD, but it had no inhibition effect on flowering as well as the specific proteinoccurrence when applied to cotyledons after SD. Chloroamphenicol, a protein synthesisinhibitor, inhibited flowering when applied to cotyledons prior to or immediately after SD,but it did not inhibit flowering when applied to cotyledons at 24 h after SD. With the jointconsideration of the effects of defoliation and inhibitor applications on flowering, wededuced that the 19 kD protein occurrence correlated with the commitment to flowering. Thegene transcription related with induction was fulfilled within the SD period, while thespecific protein synthesis lasted 24 h after SD. The key regulation step of biochemical changesduring induction was at the transcriptional level.展开更多
