stimulation of somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from anther culture of vitis vinifera cv. cabernet-sauvignon.somatic embryogenesis and subsequent diploid plants have been obtained from anthers of vitis vinifera cabernet-sauvignon, a cultivar so far considered as recalcitrant to in vitro regeneration. anthers enclosing microspores near the first pollen mitosis were found to be the most responsive. however, from a practical point of view anther length proved to be an easier criterium for determining the optimal physiological anther stage. calli derived from the anther somatic tissues produced embryoids o ...198624248303
changes in the activity of catalase (ec 1.11.1.6) in relation to the dormancy of grapevine (vitis vinifera l.) buds.catalase activity in grapevine (vitis vinifera l.) buds cv. ;perlette.' increased to a maximum in october and thereafter decreased within 3 months to less than half its maximal rate. the decrease in catalase activity coincided with the decline in temperature during winter. the rate of sprouting of buds forced at 23 degrees c was negatively related to the activity of catalase. artificial chilling of grapevine canes at 5 degrees c resulted in a 25% decrease of catalase activity in the buds after 3 ...198616664957
presence and identification of polyamines in xylem and phloem exudates of plants.polyamines were identified by high performance liquid chromatography (benzoylation) and by thin layer chromatography (dansylation) in xylem exudates from stems of sunflowers (helianthus annuus [l.]), mung bean (vigna radiata [l.] wilczek), grapevine (vitis vinifera [l.] cv grenache), and orange (citrus sinensis [l.] osbeck, cv valencia), as well as in phloem sap (using elution into edta) of sunflower and mung bean plants. putrescine was the major polyamine detected, ranging in concentrations of ...198616665153
separation of viroid rnas by cellulose chromatography indicating conformational distinctions.a series of viroids and viroid-like rnas extracted from citron (citrus medica), grapevine (vitis vinifera), and avocado (persea americanum) displayed differential binding capacities to cellulose in the presence of ethanol. this nonionic interaction was influenced by the presence of magnesium ions suggesting variations in conformation among the viroid rnas and corresponding differences in reactivity with cellulose. the specific elution profiles present a basis for the subclassification of groups ...19863776103
assimilation of 3h in photosynthesizing leaves exposed to hto.potato and wine grape plants were exposed for a period of 4 h to tritiated water vapor, and simultaneously to 14co2 which served as a tracer for photosynthetic assimilation. during and after exposure, foliar samples were collected in which the exchangeable and nonexchangeable fractions of organic 3h were determined, taking care that the exchangeable fraction should not be lost to atmosphere. it was demonstrated that about 20% of the organic h in vegetation could be exchanged with 3h of tissue wa ...19846511427
the effect of atmospheric pollution on vitis vinifera l. pollen ultrastructure under natural conditions.the ultrastructural modification of pollen grains in vitis vinifera l. variety and hybrids in areas of so2 atmospheric pollution (the main polluting so2 usually reaches 2.72 mg/m3), nitrogen oxide, and other gases derived from noniron metal processing factories have been studied. strains 1001 and 1002, resistant varieties, do not undergo ultrastructural modifications. neuburger and issabelle, medium resistant ones, have a heterogeneity in ultrastructural organization from normal forms to forms h ...19846734498
the physiological role of malic enzyme in grape ripening.the high specificity of malic enzyme (me; ec 1.1.1.40) from grape berries (vitis vinifera l.) for the naturally occurring l-enantiomer of malic acid, its very selective c4-decarboxylation, and certain allosteric properties, reported previously, favour the conjecture of a regulatory function of me in fruit malic acid degradation. on the other hand, high me activity was detected even during the acid-accumulating phase of berry development. also, the in vitro reversibility of the reaction supports ...198424258672
mutagen content of table wines made from various grape species and hybrid cultivars.the mutagen content of wines produced from the european vitis vinifera grapes was compared with that of wines produced from hybrids of v. vinifera and species indigenous to north america. mutagens were extracted on an xad-2 amberlite resin column and activated with s-9 and/or faecalase in the salmonella/microsomal mutagen assay. all white wines had insignificant mutagen levels. the only red wine to produce statistically significant reversion frequencies was that made from the concord grape. the ...19846373529
the effect of myo-inositol on the growth of callus tissue in vitis.on m2-medium, which is a revised linsmaier and skoogmedium, callus tissue of vitis vinifera cv. müller-thurgau shows normal growth not dependent upon myo-inositol. callus cells of this cultivar may therefore be able to synthesize myo-inositol. callus cells of the cv. aris require myo-inositol and show increasing growth up to an optimum of 250 mg 1(-1). further increase of the myo-inositol concentration resulted in decreasing growth. growth promotion may be due to a higher cell division rate and ...198423195051
endogenous gibberellin-like substances in somatic embryos of grape (vitis vinifera x vitis rupestris) in relation to embryogenesis and the chilling requirement for subsequent development of mature embryos.endogenous gibberellin (ga)-like substances were examined in suspension cultures of somatic embryos of a hybrid grape (vitis vinifera x vitis rupestris) during embryogenesis, and in mature embryos chilled at 4 degrees c, and subsequently incubated at 26 degrees c with and without abscisic acid (aba). the extract was separated into a nonpolar fraction (would contain ga-precursors); a fraction that would contain free gas; and a highly h(2)o-soluble fraction (would contain ga glucosyl conjugates an ...198316663304
determination of c distribution in photosynthetic serine and phosphoglycerate from grape leaves.serine and phosphoglyceric acid are the classical marker intermediates of photorespiration and reductive carbon assimilation in c(3) plants. the present paper introduces a new and fast method for the determination of (14)c distribution in these compounds by selective elimination of c-3 (naio(4)) or c-1 (ninhydrin/ceric sulfate). reproducibility of the procedure was found to be better than +/-1% upon degradation of [u-(14)c]serine and [u-(14)c]glycerate standards.determination of labeling pattern ...198316663262

pathway of photosynthetic malate formation in vitis vinifera, a c(3) plant.the time course of intramolecular isotope distribution in phosphoglyceric acid and serine was determined after exposure of grape leaf discs (vitis vinifera l.) to (14)co(2) (1000 microliters per liter) for variable metabolic periods, and the labeling patterns were compared with the respective isotope distribution in the c(1-3) fragment of malic acid. the results clearly support the classical concept of a close precursor-product relationship between photosynthetic phosphoglycerate and malic acid. ...198316663263
biogenesis of monoterpenes : bioconversion of citral by a cell suspension culture of muscat grapes.cell suspension cultures of "muscat de frontignan" grapes vitis vinifera l. are able to convert citral (a mixture of neral and geranial) into the corresponding monoterpenic alcohols, nerol and geraniol. the geraniol formed is esterified into geranyl acetate. bioconversion of nerol or geraniol added alone to the cell suspension was also studied. interconversions between these different monoterpenic compounds are described and discussed.198224259016
dormancy in somatic embryos and seeds ofvitis: changes in endogenous abscisic acid during embryogeny and germination.abscisic acid (aba) in extracts of somatic embryos and seeds of gloryvine (vitis vinifera l.xv. rupestris scheele) was measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-selected ion monitoring using deuterated aba, (±)-[c-3me-(2)h3]aba, ([(2)h3]aba) as internal standard. the aba content increased rapidly during embryogeny (0.035 ng/embryo at the globular stage to 0.22 ng/embryo at the mature stage). the level of aba in the tissues of somatic embryos, expressed in ng/mg dry weight, decreased from ...198224275974
tissue origins, cell lineages and patterns of cell division in the developing dermal system of the frut of vitis vinifera l.cell division during development of the dermal system of fruit of the grape cv. gordo is confined to the first growth period. the epidermis is conserved with anticlinal proliferative cell divisions providing for increase in cell number. the hypodermis is the layer of origin of the collenchymatous dermal system. six or seven layers are differentiated by periclinal cell divisions early in the first growth period, and later increase in size is obtained by proliferative anticlinal cell divisions. th ...198124302105
monitoring of grape harvesters for evidence of cholinesterase inhibition.this report describes the results of a long-term monitoring study of 36 grape harvesters who were occupationally exposed to organophosphate pesticide residues following reentry into vineyards during september and october 1976. the study was designed to evaluate biochemical parameters associated with organophosphate pesticide residues. insignificant changes in blood cholinesterase activity were found. some workers had very low levels of organophosphate metabolites in the urine during the entire 6 ...19817265295
interaction between meloidogyne arenaria and glomus fascicuqlatus in grape.root zones of grape (fitis vinifera cv thompson seedless) cuttings were infested with chlamydospores of glomus fasciculatus or eggs of meloidogyne arenaria or both. growth of grapevines was greatest in mycorrhizal (g. fasciculatus) plants. mycorrhizal development and growth of mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal plants were reduced in the presence of m. arenaria. at low initial nematode inoculum (pi) levels (approx. 200 eggs/plant), the presence of mycorrhizae enhanced plant growth during 1 yr, but n ...198119300722
flowering in vitis: conversion of tendrils into inflorescences and bunches of grapes.inflorescences and fruits with viable seeds were produced in place of tendrils in plants of vitis vinifera l. cv. "muscat of alexandria" and in a staminate hybrid grapevine (vitis vinifera x v. rupestris scheele) following repeated applications of 10-20 μl of 50-200 μm 6-(benzylamino)-9-(2-tetrahydropyranyl)-9h-purine (pba) to apices. young leaves, shoot tips and axillary buds were removed before the pba treatments were commenced. the number and weight of berries produced by inflorescences deriv ...197924317675
quantitative aspects of the development of meloidogyne arenaria larvae in grapevine varieties and rootstocks.the development and productivity of parasitic stages of meloidogyne arenaria were quantitatively defined in 14 varieties or rootstocks of grapevine. mean development to maturity was related linearly to the number of degree-hours above 10 c temperature experienced from the time of penetration in all cultivars in which nematode adulthood was achieved. averaged across varieties, 13,142 heat units were required for development of the mean individual to maturity. the standard deviation of the develop ...197919305553
enzymes of krebs-henseleit cycle in vitis vinifera l: iii. in vivo and in vitro studies of arginase.the presence of arginase (ec 3.5.3.7) in various tissues from vitis vinifera l. cultivars was demonstrated by both in vivo and in vitro enzyme assays. initial velocities determined by the two methods were in close agreement. optimum conditions for maximum enzyme activity were 25 to 30 millimolar l-arginine, about 1 millimolar mn(2+) (ph 9.4 to 9.8), and incubation temperature of 37 to 38 c. l-arginine hydrolysis was linear with increasing sliced fresh tissue up to 500 milligrams for in vivo assa ...197816660514
enzymes of krebs-henseleit cycle in vitis vinifera l: ii. arginosuccinate synthetase and lyase.arginosuccinate (asa) synthetase and lyase activities were detected in extracts from vitis vinifera l. cv. chenin blanc mature leaves and seedlings. optimum reaction conditions for asa synthetase were 10 millimolar l-citrulline, 7.5 millimolar l-aspartate, 3 to 4 millimolar atp, 12 millimolar mg(2+) (ph 7.5 to 8.0), enzyme extract up to equivalent of about 200 milligrams of fresh tissue, and incubation temperature of 38 to 40 c. optimum reaction conditions for asa lyase were 4 millimolar asa-k s ...197816660513
enzymes of krebs-henseleit cycle in vitis vinifera l: i. ornithine carbamoyltransferase: isolation and some properties.ornithine carbamoyltransferase (oct) activity was detected in extracts from mature leaves, fruit, germinating seeds, and seedlings of vitis vinifera l. michaelis-menten constants for oct were 3.5 millimolar for carbamyl phosphate and 5.5 millimolar for l-ornithine. concentrations of l-ornithine greater than 10 millimolar slightly inhibited the enzyme, whereas carbamyl phosphate at concentrations greater than the optimal (about 10 millimolar) did not affect oct activity. l-citrulline formation wa ...197816660512
α-glucosidase from grape berries: partial purification and characterization.α-glucosidase (α-d-glucoside glucohydrolase ec 3.2.1.20) was purified approximately 30-fold from grape berries (vitis vinifera var. riesling). besides maltose the enzyme preparation hydrolyzes to a lesser extent maltotriose, isomaltose, and starch. it has a ph optimum of 5.1 and a molecular weight of about 100,000. tris, glycerol, several mono-and disaccharides were tested as inhibitors. the kinetic behavior of ribose, fructose, cellobiose, sucrose, turanose, methylglucopyranoside, tris, and gly ...197824408102
control of flowering in the grapevine (vitis vinifera l.): formation of inflorescences in vitro by isolated tendrils.tendrils produced from shoot tips of grapevine (vitis vinifera l.) cultured in vitro on nitsch's medium developed into inflorescences when 5 to 10 mum benzyladenine (ba) or 6-(benzylamino)-9-(2-tetrahydropyranyl)-9h-purine (pba) were applied directly to the tendril tips. inflorescences did not form on tendrils if the cytokinins were supplied in the agar. tendrils cultured in agitated liquid medium containing ba, pba, or zeatin riboside showed profuse branching and tendrils were transformed into ...197816660225
factors affecting the extraction of intact ribonucleic acid from plant tissues containing interfering phenolic compounds.using conventional methods it is impossible to extract rna as uncomplexed intact molecules from the leaves of grapevines (vitis vinifera l.) and from a number of woody perennial species that contain high levels of reactive phenolic compounds. a procedure involving the use of high concentrations of the chaotropic agent sodium perchlorate prevents the binding of phenolic compounds to rna during extraction. analyses of the phenolics present in plant tissues used in these experiments indicate that t ...197716660134
the effect of fruit-removal on cytokinins and gibberellin-like substances in grape leaves.removal of fruit from potted cuttings of vitis vinifera l. increased the concentration of a cytokininglucoside in leaf tissue extracts and decreased the level of extractable gibberellin-like substances. the glucoside (of zeatin riboside) is not present in xylem exudate of v. vinifera l., and appears to be synthesized in the leaves. berry extracts contain zeatin-riboside and smaller amounts of cytokinin-glucoside. the changes in the level of these hormones are discussed in relation to previous re ...197724420222
