To understand the proteomic basis of Phalaenopsis amabilis’s responses to Cymbidium Mosaic virus (CymMV), and/or Odontoglossum ring spot virus (ORSV), the total proteins were extracted from Phalaenopsis amabilis leaves infected with CymMV, ORSV, or both respectively. Differentially expressed proteins were identified by two-dimensional electrophoresis, and 27 of these proteins that had significant changes were further examined by mass spectrometry. Comparing CymMV-infected leaves with mock-inoculated ones, 2 proteins were significantly up-regulated, 9 were significantly down-regulated and 1 previously undetected protein was identified. 10 proteins were significantly up-regulated, 3 significantly down-regulated and 1 previously undetected protein was identified in ORSV-infected leaves. 6 proteins were significantly up-regulated and 9 significantly down-regulated proteins were found in co-infected leaves. These identified proteins are involved in disease resistance, stress response, transcriptional regulation, energy metabolism, protein modification and the previously unknown proteins were not involved with known protein pathways. Proteins significantly up-regulated were ATP sulfurylase, down-regulated proteins included glutamate decarboxylase isozyme 2, RNA polymerase alpha subunit and chloroplastic peptide deformylase 1A were proteins with similar alteration trend after all infection treatments. Significantly up-regulated were Thioredoxin H-type and down-regulated Cytosolic phosphoglycerate kinase I which were proteins that have been shown to be specifically regulated by the infection with CymMV. Significantly up-regulated were proteins like Rubisco large subunit, Triosephosphate isomerase, NADP-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase and Cinnamoyl CoA reductase CCR2 by the infection of ORSV. Protein regulation in coinfected leaves followed a pattern similar to that of any of the single virus infection results.展开更多

Light quality is an important factor to regulate plant reproduction. We used either red or blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) to substitute for 10% photosynthetic photon flux emitted by white fluorescent tubes as the control (WC) at approximately 70 μmole·m<sup>-2</sup>·s<sup>-1</sup> to examine the effects of enhanced red (WR) or blue (WB) light on spiking and the dawn-to-dusk fluctuations in the photosynthetic pigments and carbohydrates of Phalaenopsis aphrodite, which were grown in 7.5 cm diameter pots for six weeks. WR treatment significantly elevated the ratio of red to far-red light and the level of phytochrome photostationary state in concurrence with an increase in the spiking ratio and length, but had little effect on the concentrations of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b in the leaf, levels of soluble sugars such as glucose, fructose, sucrose, and insoluble starch in the leaf and shortened stem, the locus of spiking, when compared to the other two treatments. Evidently, the spiking of Phalaenopsis is improved by dependent on the relative amount of active phytochrome expressed in the photostationary state.展开更多

We investigated the effects of polyphenol oxidase on the early stage of browning in explants of the orchid Phalaenopsis. Our results show that PPO activity was significantly higher in explants cultured for 3 d than in the 0 h control. The levels of PPO transcripts and PPO protein were significantly higher in explants cultured for 6 h compared to the 0 h control; these high expression levels were maintained over increasing cultivation time. Cycloheximide(CHX) treatment reduced PPO transcript levels, PPO protein levels, and PPO enzyme activity. High levels of PPO m RNA and PPO protein were detected in the cytoplasm and vascular bundles of Phalaenopsis explants cultured for 6 h compared to explants cultured for 0 h, 24 h, and 3 d. CHX treatment did not significantly affect the distribution of PPO m RNA and PPO protein in explant tissues, but their levels were significantly lower than those of the untreated control.展开更多
