Abstract

Inhibition of net carbon assimilation rates during growth at elevated CO{sub 2} was studied in transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) plants containing zero to two copies of antisense DNA sequences to the small subunit polypeptide (rbcS) gene of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco). High- and low-Rubisco tobacco plants were obtained from the selfed progeny of the original line 3 transformant. Assimilation rates of high- and low-Rubisco tobacco plants increased 22 and 71%, respectively, when transferred from 35- to 70-Pa CO{sub 2} chamber air at 900 {mu}mol m{sup -2} s{sup -1} photon flux density. However, CO{sub 2}-dependent increases of net carbon assimilation rates of high- and low-Rubisco plants virtually disappeared after 9 d of growth in elevated CO{sub 2} chamber air. Total above-ground dry matter production of high- and low-Rubisco plants was 28 and 53% greater, respectively, after 9 d of growth at 70 Pa compared with 35 Pa CO{sub 2}. Most of this dry weight gain was due to increased specific leaf weight. Rubisco activity, Rubisco protein, and total chlorophyll were lower in both high- and low-Rubisco plants grown in enriched compared with ambient CO{sub 2} chamber air. Soluble leaf protein also decreased in response to CO{sub 2} enrichment in high- butmore »« less

Decreased Rubisco activities in CO{sub 2}adapted high- and low-Rubisco plants were not attributable to changes in activation state of the enzyme. Carbonic anhydrase activities and subunit levels measured with specific antibodies were similar in high- and low-Rubisco tobacco plants and were unchanged by CO{sub 2} enrichment. Collectively, these findings suggested that photosynthetic acclimation to enriched CO{sub 2} occurred in tobacco plants either with or without transgenically decreased Rubisco in CO{sub 2}-adapted tobacco plants was related to decreased specific activity of this enzyme. 35 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.},

Acclimation of plant species to elevated CO{sub 2}

Journal Article Olavi, K ; Ball, J T ; Seemann, J - Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America

Plant species differ in assimilated carbon partitioning between starch, sucrose and hexose sugars. Soluble sugars have been implicated to play a role in downregulating rubisco and other photosynthesis enzymes on the level of transcription. In this study we compared high CO{sub 2} response of plants with different physiology. Cucumber, tobacco and sunflower were chosen as relatively good starch accumulators, spinach and sugar-beet as species with high leaf soluble sugar levels. In addition woody species cottonwood and salt cedar and one C{sub 4} species (corn) were studied. Plants were grown from seed at three CO{sub 2} levels: 330 {mu}bar, 660 {mu}barmore »« less
Effects of ambient CO{sub 2} concentration on growth and nitrogen use in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants transformed with an antisense gene to the small subunit of ribulose-1,5-biphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase

Journal Article Masle, J ; Hudson, G S ; Badger, M R - Plant Physiology (Bethesda)

Growth of the R{sub 1} progeny of a tobacco plant (Nicotiana tabacum) transformed with an antisense gene to the small subunit of ribulose-1,5-carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) was analyzed under 330 and 930 {mu}bar of CO{sub 2r} at an irradiance of 1000 {mu}mol quanta m{sup {minus}2} s{sup {minus}1}. Rubisco activity was reduced to 30 to 50% and 13 to 18% of that in the wild type when one and two copies of the antisense gene, respectively, were present in the genome, whereas null plants and wild-type plants had similar phenotypes. At 330 {mu}bar of CO{sub 2} all antisense plants were smaller than themore »« less
Effect of CO{sub 2} concentration on carbonic anhydrase and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase expression in pea

Journal Article Majeau, N ; Coleman, J R - Plant Physiology (Bethesda)

The effect of external CO{sub 2} concentration on the expression of carbonic anhydrase (CA) and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) was examined in pea (Pisum sativum cv Little Marvel) leaves. Enzyme activities and their transcript levels were reduced in plants grown at 1000 {mu}L/L CO{sub 2} compared with plants grown in ambient air. Growth at 160 {mu}L/L CO{sub 2} also appeared to reduce steady-state transcript levels for the rbcS, the gene encoding the small subunit of Rubisco, and for ca, the gene encoding CA; however, rbcS transcripts were reduced to a greater extent at this concentration. Rubisco activity was slightly lower inmore »« less
Evidence for effects on the in vivo activity of ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase during development of Mn toxicity in tobacco. [Nicotiana tabacum L. cv KY14]

Journal Article Houtz, R L ; Nable, R O ; Cheniae, G M - Plant Physiology; (USA)

The progressive decrease in net photosynthesis accompanying development of Mn toxicity in young leaves of burley tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv KY 14) is a result of effects on in vivo activity of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase/oxygenase (rubisco, EC 4.1.1.39). This conclusion is supported by: (a) decrease in rates of CO{sub 2} depletion during measurements of CO{sub 2} compensation, (b) increase in leaf RuBP concentrations, (c) progressive decreases in rate-constants of RuBP loss (light to dark transition analyses) with progressive increases of leaf Mn concentrations, and (d) restoration of diminished rates of net photosynthesis to control rates by elevated CO{sub 2}more »« less

Red algal Rubisco fails to accumulate in transplastomic tobacco expressing Griffithsia monilis RbcL and RbcS genes

Journal Article Lin, Myat T. ; Hanson, Maureen R. - Plant Direct

In C ₃ plants, the carbon fixation step catalyzed by ribulose -1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) represents a major rate-limiting step due to the competing oxygenation reaction, which leads to the energy-intensive photorespiration and lowers the overall photosynthetic efficiency. Hence, there is great biotechnological interest in replacing the Rubisco in C ₃ crops with a more efficient enzyme. The Rubisco enzymes from red algae are among the most attractive choices due to their remarkable preference for carboxylation over oxygenation reaction. However, the biogenesis of Rubisco is extremely complex. The Rubisco enzymes in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria are made up of eight largemore »« less
