Abstract

Oryzalin is a dinitroaniline herbicide, which disrupts the arrangement of microtubules. Microtubules and microfilaments are cytoskeletal components that are thought to play a role in the sedimentation of statoliths and the formation of cell walls. Statoliths regulate the perception of gravity by columella cells in the root tip. To determine the effect of oryzalin on the gravitropic response, ethylene production in primary roots of maize was investigated. Treatment with 10-4 M oryzalin to the root tip inhibited the growth and gravitropic response of the roots. However, the treatment had no effect on the elongation zone of the roots. An application of 10-4 M oryzalin for 15 hr to the root tip caused root tip swelling. The application of 1-aminocycopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), a precursor of ethylene, to the root tip also inhibited the gravitropic response. To understand the role of oryzalin in the regulation of the growth and gravitropic response of roots, ethylene production in the primary roots of maize was measured following treatment with oryzalin. Oryzalin stimulated ethylene production via the activation of ACC oxidase (ACO) and ACC synthase (ACS), and it increased the expression of ACO and ACS genes. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) played a key role in the asymmetric elongation rates observed during gravitropism. The results suggest that oryzalin alters the gravitropic response of maize roots through modification of the arrangement of microtubules. This might reduce the distribution of IAA in the upper and lower sides of the elongation zone and increase ethylene production, thereby inhibiting growth and gravitropic responses.

Oryzalin은 미세소관을 분열시키는 dinitroaniline계의 제초제이다. 미세소관과 미세섬유는 평형석 침강과 세포벽을 구성하는 세포골격들이다. 평형석은 뿌리 끝에 있는 columella 세포에서 중력 인지 조절을 한다. 본 연구는 oryzalin이 옥수수 일차 뿌리에서 ethylene 생성을 통하여 굴중성 반응에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 뿌리 끝 부분에 10-4 M oryzalin의 처리는 뿌리 성장과 굴중성 반응을 저해하였으나, 신장대에 처리하게 되면 저해현상은 관찰되지 않았다. 10-4 M oryzalin을 뿌리 끝에 15시간 처리하면 뿌리 끝의 생장이 억제되고 둥근 형태로 부풀었다. 에틸렌의 전구물질인 ACC를 뿌리 끝에 처리하여도 굴중성 반응이 억제되었다. Oryzalin의 작용과 에틸렌 생성에 대한 관련성을 연구하기 위하여 oryzalin 처리 후 에틸렌 생성을 측정하였다. Oryzalin 처리에 의해 ACC oxidase와 ACC synthase의 활성이 증가되어 에틸렌 생성이 촉진되었다. Oryzalin은 ACO와 ACS의 유전자의 발현도 증가 시켰다. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)는 굴중성 반응 동안 관찰되는 비 대칭적 신장에 중요한 역할을 한다. 이러한 연구 결과는 oryzalin이 뿌리 끝에서 IAA transport를 억제하여 뿌리 신장대의 윗면과 아랫면의 IAA 양의 차이를 감소시키고, 또한 에틸렌 생성을 촉진하며 미세소관의 배열을 방해하여 뿌리 글중성과 생장을 억제할 가능성을 제시하고 있다.
